standard for newspaper makers. In its

that IS to say, In its column upon
column Of news matter, it was a marvel
Of completeness and accuracy. Its pic
turing, from the daintily executed half
tones in the magazine pages to the por
traits and drawings on the news pages.
was exceptionally bright and attractive.
In a political way, The Sunday Re
public of yesterday was rich in variety
and interest. Two score Of the best
known of the country's Democrats,
among them Mr.. Bryan, contributed
signed matter to it's columns. THE
Paramount Issue" page was n gem Of
epigrammatic utterance above the sig
natures of famous party men.

THE ISTHMIAN CANAL
Some of the Possible Economic Results
to Follow.

The report of the Isthmian canal
commission, is is said, will contain dis
proof Of the assertions Of Joseph MINI
mo, Jr., that it will never pay in COM
petition with the Suez canal on the
hand and the transcontinental
trade purposes the Panama route
would be the better and for others the
Nicaragua.
1t seems certain hat the Isthmian
canal, wherever it is built, will be a
great coal-carrier. The entire Pacific
coast line of this hemisphere is It a
disadvantage in manufacturing on ac-
count of the high cost of fuel and this
the cutting Of the ditch will do much
to reduce. 1t is estimated that a ton
of ~cargo-2,240 pounds-can be carried
from New York to Sam Francisco by
h canal route for % cents worth of
coal, always on h assumption that
the trip will be made in % days, which
is a liberal allowance Of time. This is
SO small a factor in the cos Of the
commodities delivered on the Pacific
coast b a it is not believed that the
sailing vessels will offer much compe-
tition.
The opening of China to an extent
that a never before occurred is likely
to result from the insurrestion now
going on there, and this will in turn
make business for the Isthmian canal.
China'S coal mines will be worked and
the latent resources, to a large extent
still undeveloped, brought into play. 1t
IS possible that h Pacific coast sup
ply will come from China, and not go
through the canal at all, although that
day will doubtless be some time in
coming.
The effects of the canal will be some
time in coming, for it will be a much
slower a to construct it than most
persons now imagine. After the work
is finally entered upon-and that is
probably several years away-it may
take 10 years to open the great water
way for traffic.

THE BAPTIST ORPHAiiAGE
The Year Just Closed the Most Pros
porous One of the Institution

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Thomasville. n. c.. July 23.-On
Wednesday, the 18th inst, the Thomas
Vile Baptist orphanage closed the
most prosperous and successful year
in its history. The board OF trustees
consisting of eighteen members is COM
posed of some Of the wisest and best
business men in the state. Thirteen Of
the eighteen members Were present.
The board was greatly pleased with the
years work and highly endorsed the
administration of Superintendent
Boone.
The annual sermon was delivered on
Tuesday evening by Rev. S. ]. Porter,
the popular and talented young pastor
of the Fayetteville Baptist church.
The sermon was we'll conceived, ear
nestly delivered, and made a profound
impression on the large and intelligent
audience.
The exercises on Wednesday morn
ing by the children were unusually in
teresting and were greatly enjoyed by
all present, and reflected mach credit
IL on their faithful and painstaking
teachers. A gentleman of large ex-
perience as an educator, and for many
years president of one of the leading
female colleges of the state, said thai
the exercises on Wednesday morning
would a done credit to a college
commencement.
At IL o'clock a. m. On Wednesday, the
annual address was delivered by Hon.
NJ. H. Justice, of Rutherfordton, one
of the most distinguished lawyers in
the state. Mr.. Justice reviewed the
history of the orphanage. showing
how, from a very small beginning, it
has grown to it's present large proper
tons; what grand work it is doing in
reaching out its arms and taking I'M
der its fostering care the poor, neglect
ed children of the state, who under the
influence of educaed, cultured and
Christian teachers, are being trained
for the duties of life, NJ he made a
strong n earnest appeal to the Bap-
fist denomination to stand loyalty by
an institution which isdoing so much
for the uplifting of humanity.
The superintendent of the orphanage,
Rev. J. B.. Boone, in his annual report
made the gratifying statement that
the year just closed was the most
prosperous in the history of the institu-
ton; hat there is money in the treas
ury, and no indebtedness reported;
that there were 22S orphans in the Or
phanage during the year that the av-
erage number by months was 172 1-2,
which makes the per capita cost per
month, $500.
Work will begin at an early date on
the Mills memorial building, which,
when completed, will be a fitting
monument to hat grand man, the late
John H. Mills, who gave a large por-
ton of his valuable life to orphanage
work in North Carolina.
Rev. j. B. Boone is the right man in
the right place, and his administration
has been a signal success.
After the o~rphanage exercises were
Yer, a large audience assembled in the
town of Thomasville and listened to
able and convincing speeches on the
amendment by Hon. H. NJ. Justice, MI.
j. w. Bailey and Rev. c. J.. Woodson.

hats for coachman, boo for footman,
shirts for coachman, etc.
When the character Of these pur-
Ichases became known to the postmas-
tier general he wrote TO Director Gener-
leral Rathbone as follows:
II have today for h first time GER
tain of you bills as director general
lof posts, which Were brought here by
Colonel Burton. Some Of these bills
are without authority or justification.
but are s~candalous and never should
have been passed or paid. The audi
tor, who is responsible to a different
department, was ~inexcusable in allow
ing them, and you action in present.
ling them for allowance vas grossly
lreprehensfble. Without waiting for a
review and reconsideration OF these
bills by a rightful audit, you should
AT once reimburse to the island treas
Jury the sums improperly paid"
Rathbone made various trips. In
April 1899 he made a tour OF inspection,
accompanied by his family and his ex-
Ipense account covered the entire ex-
lpense of his family. In May of the
same year he came to h United
States and charged up as official ex-
lpenses his expenses TO Cincinnati and
Hamilton, Ohio, where he went on pri-
vate business. The report says Rath-
bone was aware at the time that
these charges were unauthorized and
fraudulent" In November 1899 when
his family were in New York he charg-
ed 1926 for eight days in New York
while waiting o a steamer.
The report also calls to a
Warrant for $500 drawn by Rathbone
June Both, 1899, for which no account
ling was made, and another $500 war
rant drawn in May of the same year.
It says: From the official records
1T appears that Rathbone has drawn
two warrants TO himself in the sum OF
$500 each, received the money thereon
land made no accounting whatever for
1.-THE same to the department of posts.
There stands against him, therefore,
the charge of ~unlawfully a~pproprlat-
ling 81, 900 of the Cuban postal funds to
his own use"
The report also calls attention to
lmany large expenditures by Rathbone
for which no vouchers were filed, al
though they could have been easily
obtained. For some months miscella-
neous expenditure aggregated as much
as $3.50. Such items as repairs $500,
freight $3.50" appear. Reeves explain
ed that ne passed such accounts be-
cause they had been allowed by the
director general. The report does not
credit this statement, saying 1.-The evil
Idence is too strong of collision be
Tween Nicely, Rathbone and eeVes
The total amount of these miscella-
neous expenditures was &c. 9O. A part
of this was probably legitimate, but a
large part was doubtless
expenditures, for which
Nicely and Reeves are equally respon-
sible.
The report finds that athbone eX-
Ipenditures in the payment of debts
and living expenses were much in ex-
cess of his salary; that in September
and October 1893, within three days
after the destruction of h surcharge
stamps, Rathbone paid over $4,000 in
ldebtness. In discussing this subject
the report says: 1T is evident that
the money with which this indebtneSs
was paid was secured from some other
source tina his salary"
