On Imperialism.

In 1898 G.. =. Putnam's Sons issued
from their press book by Roosevelt
entitled American Ideals and Other
Essays" In this book he took occa-
sion to discuss at length several Amer
lean problems, social and political. In
his essay on "'The Manly Virtues and
Practical Politics." written in 1897,
~
he said:
"At best the Inhabitants of col

AFTER THE WAR.
An Arkansan Writes to Auditor Aver
For Information.

Mr.. H. L. Norwood, of Mena. Ark.
has written to Auditor Aver making
request for certain information relative
to this State. In reply TO question
as to the value of all property at the
beginning of the war Mr.. Aver says
that the data is deficient, but the value
of real estate was $125, 100, All. The
value of personal property is not given
in the records. In 1865 the value of
real estate he finds to have been S131,-
413, 1882, slave property at that time was
put at $162 1866, 1853, making the total
for realty and slaves $294 $50 495. This
did not include personal property. The
value of real estate at the close of the
war was $97.64S. 266. There is, Mr..
Aver says, no way of estimating the
amount of property destroyed by the
war. The Treasurer's report for '61-'62
showed the bonded debt of the State to
have been S14.S120O5. In 1866 it was
S11 .433, 600 which, with other obligation
made a total debt of S1S,626.255.
The bonded debt of the State at tn
close of the fiscal year for 1898 wa
S6.36O.770. which was increased by a,
issue of $4,000 of bonds in 1899 Tn

A SMALL COLD WAVE.
1t Will be Broken by Monday or Pos
sibly Sunday.

The present cold wave will last, Fore
caster Won Hermann says, until
next Monday, though it will probably
begin getting warmer on Sunday. The
weather vii be perfectly fair
Il expect the temperature Ito be about
20 degrees on Saturday morning. he
said last night land probably about the
same Sunday morning. That is not very
cold, You know. for we had it down to
in January. 1t will be nowhere near
that this time"
The month of January last year was
nearly normal in its chief features. y
severe cold wave spread over the State
on the 2nd, accompanied by the highest
barometer recorded in North Carolina
during the past % years, namely, 3O.95
inches ait Raleigh. The month closed
with very considerable snow storm on
the 2Sth. The weather during February,
1890, was, without eXaggeration, quite
extraordinary for North Carolina, more
nearly typical of an ordinary winter
month in New England or the northwest.
The deficiency in monthly mean tempera-
ture for February was about seven de-
grees: the month, therefore. was not as
notable for continuous cold weather as

over twelve degrees; but the heavy
snow storm and cold wave extending
from the 18th to the 10Th of February,
1899, unquestionably surpassed in sever
ity any similar occurrence of which there
is record. The snowfall was heaviest
over the northeast section from Raleigh
to Norfolk, and the amounts of unmelted
snow for this single storm varied from
Is to 24 inches at seven stations. The
storm caused a serious blockade on the
railroads, so that a fuel famine pre-
vail at many points. There We're some
deaths by freezing, and much suffering
otherwise especially among domestic and
wild animals. The lowest temperatures
occurred over the section between Raj
igh, Rockingham and Charlotte. Tenn
peratures below zero are extremely rare

1853, and 1895.

LOSS WILL BE VERY HEAVY.
Flames Started in the Decorating
Department and spread Rapidly
to Other Parts of the Building.
Cause is Not knovn-Partfy Cow
cred by Insurance-Lot of yalua-
BILE Ware Destroyed.

At an early hour this morning the
decorating department of the Fostoria
Glass .Company's plant at Moundsyille
was discovered to be on fire. The
alarm was promptly turned in and the
fire department responded promtly
At one o'clock they are still fighting
the flames and will probably succeed
in combining the fire to the wooden
part of the factory. but as this depart
n1ent contained the decorating and
packing departments, as well as the
ware rooms, the loss will be very
heavy.
The company but recently complet-
ed two large ware rooms connected
with the building, but the efficient
work Of the fire laddies prevented them
from burning. st 2 O'Clock the fire
was reported to be under control The
only buildings burned to the ground
were the decorating room, the packing
room and the Offices. While the loss
will be several thousand dollars, it is
all covered by insurance, but it was
impossible to learn in what companies
An effort was made to talk to Mr.
Brady, the secretary, over the phone
but it was unsuccessful. The loss is
very much to be deplored as it is the
chief industry of Moundsville, and en-
ploys a large number of people. 1t
cannot be said whether it will be re-
built or not, but as the company re-
Gently built a twelye-pot furnace in

The company was making prepara-
tions for the summer shutdown and
had been working night and day.
The first started in the decorative
room, but It's origin is not known.
At three o'clock this morning a tele-
phone message from Moundsville
brought the information that the fire
was still burning, bat under control,
and confined principally to the smold-
ering ruins. The factory and floor
were saved, but the entire decorating
department destroyed.

KEYSER, w. Va, July with
thirty-fiye hundred and sixty-one dol
lars in cold cash in his pockets w. S
Davis, of Parkersburg, W. Va, with
his wife, Annie E. Davis, was coming
across the mountains from Franklin
Pendleton county, to Hartman, Ran
dolp county, last night
When near the mouth of Seneca, far
form any habitation and where black
ness Of the night reigned supreme
anlUtlg the pines, three masked men
rose up from the ground, seized their
horses brides and demanded Davis to
dismount and give them his money
The muzzles of their six-shooters were
pointed directly towards mis- face
The gap in which they were held ug
is one of the most weird in the State
and awed by fear, Davis was on the
point OF yielding when his brave little
wife, who had not been molested, ex-
claimed, Kill them all. Kill them
all, and give them nothing" Encour-
aged by this Davis jumped to the
ground and was knocked down
But Seized a stone
and felled one of his adversaries. Shots
were fired, but none of them took effect
and rough and tumble fight followed
in which Davis states ne felt the
strength of a lion and finally succeed
ed in doing away with the other two
robbers.
He and Mrs. Davis then whipped up
their horses and hurried towards Har-
mon for medical aid, Mr.. Davis being
SO terribly battered and bruised that
fears of fatal result We're entertained
They are now at Hotel Hendricks
at Henderioks, and it will be some
time before Davis is able to be moved
To-day he expressed to the McCor-
mick Agency, which he represents, the
S3,561, which was on his person during
the fight. He says he will make no at
tempt 10 locate his assailants believ-
ing it would be unnecessary as the
wounds which he inflicted would be
the only means by which it would be
possible for him to identity them.
Davis had been collecting through
Grant, Pendleton and Hardy counties
in the country where there are no
banks, consequently he was paid al
together in currency.
