Portraits of Ship and BagIey.

Portraits of Shipp and BagIey.
w. C. F., Of Morganton, in Charlotte
Observer, End.
Less than one year ago the heart Of
the nation was stirred by a declaration
of war with Spain. To-day the war is
a memory, a thing accomplished, a
new page Of history oftwo hemispheres,
a new theme for poetry and
To North Carolina, though her intrepid
volunteers were denied the privilege Of
meeting the foe in battle, there remains
the record of a quick and hearty re-
Spouse to the country's call for troops,
and the names Of at least two Of her
sons have been added to the list of the
nations heroes-the names Of Ensign
Bagley and Lieutenant Ship. Every
one knows Of the movement on foot to
build monuments to these gallant North
Carolinians, but it is not generally
known that an ASSOCIATION of North
Cardinals daughters is at work rails
ing the funds to paint the portraits OF
Bagley and Ship and place them per-
manently at the national capital. A
brief history Of the movement may be
of interest to the public. During the
recent national convention Of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
held IN the city of Washington, the
delegate from the Dorcas Bell Love
Chapter OF the North Carolina Society
Daughters of the American Revolution
was struck with the conspicuous abb
sence of North Carolina faces among
the portraits in the capital and in the
art galleries at Washington. The whole
country was ringing with the praise of
Ship and Bagley, both North Caro-
l%inians, representing all that WAS brav-
est aud best in the American army and
navy. And both sons Of gallant Con-
federate officers. Both had died fight
ing bravely beneath the Stars and
Stripes, and the time seemed most au-
spicious for placing portraits of these
two heroes Of to-day at Washington. to
illustrate and accentuate the fact that
the modern war Of the roses has ended
and the union Of the factions is stronge,
and more enduring than that which
united the white rose OF York and the
red rose Of Lancaster.
This idea gave rise to the Bagley
Ship memorial committee Of the Dor
cas- Bell Love Chapter, North Caroline
Society Daughters of the America,
Revolution which is now actively a
work raising fund, to paint portraits o
Lieutenant Ship and Ensign Bagley
While at Washington the delegate
mentioned engaged the services Of th'

the Corcoran Art School, to paint the
two portraits. Those who have visited
the White House and seen the portrait
of Lady Washington in the East Room,
the work of this artist, viii! understand
that the work has been placed in the
hands Of a master of p%ortraiture. The
committee is now ready to receive
subscriptions.
Any surplus remaining after the funds
are secured will be divided between the
Ship monument fund and the BagIey
monument fund ofRaleigh. The COM
mittee hope to interest especially the
officers and enlisted men Of the First
and Second North Carolina Regiments,
the members Of the State Guard, the
Sons Of Confederate Veterans, the
Daughters Of the Confederacy, the
principals aud pupils Of the schools and
colleges Of North Carolina and last, but
not least. the Confederate veterans, for
whom the placing Of these portraits of
sons of their comrades at the national
capital, must have a peculiar signif-
canoe. Arrangements are already un-
der way in various towns of the State
for giving entertainments to assist in
raising the portraits fund, and the COM
mi,tee already has assurances of liberal
subscriptions from patriotic North
C%arolinians, aud notably from one of
the States millionaires who is always
ready to contribute of his means for the
good of his Eative State.
All contributions should be addressed
to Mr.. Herbert Worth Jackson, treas
urer, Raleigh, n. c., plainly marked

dress Of the contributor is requested in
all cases, as the committee especially
desires to keep a record of all those
who contribute to the cause.

The committee has every reason to
believe that the patriotic citizens Of
North Carolina will quickly and Iiber-
ally respond to their appeals for the
funds necessary to attain the end de-
sired. A cut of the pictures OF Bagley
and Ship which MIR. Andrews will

SOCIALIST MAYOR
DEFINES HIS CREED
THE NEW MAYOR OF HAv-
ERHILL, MASS.
VIII bend His Energies In Support
of the Principles of Socialism-
Favors Municipal Ownership of
Railway and Lighting Plants.

HAVERHILL, Mass, Jan. 2.-John
G. Chase. elected on a Socialist plat
form, took the oath of office as mayor
of Haverhill today In his inaugural
speech, Mr.. Chase assured the mem
bers of the city government and the
people that ''every atom of power
possessed by the mayor will be "ex-
ercised In the defense and support Of
the principles of socialism, in so far
as they may be applicable to munic-
ipality."
The mayor then referred to the de-
STABILITY of preserving equal rights,
upon which "the liberty and happi-
ness of every man, woman and child
are condoned." and asserted that these
are possible of attainment "only
through the establishment Of the CO.
operative commonwealth.
Continuing, Mayor Chase said:
Il believe that every power the mu-
nicipaiity possesses should be placed
AT the disposal of the people in the
interest Of civilization. With that aim
in view, / submit the following specific
recommendation:
"First-The passage of am order establish
ing the minimum wage for street employees
at $2 for eight hours work.
Second-Union wages and conditions to
prevail in all brick and stone masons work
performed under the direction of the street
department
'Third-All city printing to bear the union
LABEL
The mayor then took up the subject
OF the unemployed, which, he said,
had developed from the displacement
OF labor by machinery and the con-
centration of capital and a question
which,. he said, no municipality could
solve, as it had become national and
international one.
Yet" he said, "some little relief, at
least, can be afforded by this city gov
ernment. I therefore recommend:
"First-That you proceed to secure tract
OF land suitable for the raising of food
products, and that such of the unemployed
as desire be permitted to use said tract, the
city to furnish proper seeds.
"Second-The enlargement of the fuel ward
at the city farm to such proportions as will
permit all who desire to earn by their labor
such fuel as they may require.
Third-The appropriation Of such an
amount OF money as circumstances may war
rant, to be used In providing employment
directly upon public works. not in compeai-
lion with the regular employees of the city.
put upon special works, two kinds of which
herewith suggest: First, improvement of
the park system; second, construction of a
system Of bicycle paths through all principal
thoroughfares.''
Mayor Chase condemned the system
OF contracting with the lowest bidder
for city work, and said the system
should not be tolerated. He said:
Low bids mean cheap work and
cheap work means cheap men, and
low wages lower the standard of cit
izenship. The city should perform its
own work and furnish it's own mate
rial, giving employment to It's citt-
zens.''
The mayor advocated increased ap-
preparations for educational purposes
and municipal ownership of the electric
lighting plants and street railways.

cOREAN CRIMES.
Cruel outrages Perpetrated by the
Anti-Russfan Party.

LONDON. Jan. 3.-The St. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Times says
The correspondent Of the Novoe Vremya
at Seoul, the Corean capital, relates terrible
crimes py the anti-Russian party, who since
the departure of the Russian fnanciers and
drill instructors have wreaked vengeance by
vile insult and barbarous cruelty on the Co
rean dragoman of the Russian embassy, the
official who safeguarded the removal of the
Corean emperor to the Russian mission house.
The missionary, his wife and family were
ruthlessly tortured to make them confess to a
false charge of poisoning the emperor's
coffee. to shield the real criminals, who are
among the highest officers.
The dragoman was brutally executed, mu-
tilated publicly and made sport of in savage
and disgusting manner. All this, the writer
says, occurred in a country blessed with
American and other Christian missionaries
and where American officials occupy infiuen-
;tal posts in the Corean government service. ;"
