American Soldiers Generosity.

4 writer in "Ainsiee's Magazine"
tells this story: Our government al
lowed several transports vito return
ing volunteers to stop at Yokohama
and so hundreds of American soldiers
visited that city and Toxic. One OF
them hired a bicycle. and was taking
a ride about the streets of Yokohama
when he ran down an elderly japanese
man The soldier rang his bell several
times. but the Japanese apparently
paid no attention to IT, and the Amerl-
can found himself promptly arrested
and taken to court, where he was fined
10 yen $50. He protested that he had
done everything possible to avert the
accident, and asked why the man made
no attempt 10 get out OF the way. The
policeman then told him that the man
was blind The soldier looked dazed
for minute, then felt in his pocket
and brought ont a $40 bill Here he
said it's the last I've got, but he can
have it, and he turned it over to the
blind man. The Japanese We're deeply
touched. and that same day delega-
ton OF policemen hunted up the sol

No port lamps CLEAN along our sides,
No banners ilOat on high;
No human lookout raises glass
To scan our seas or sky.
40 Admirals above our decks
Mid guns and gunners stand.
In hidden sheath to send the sound
OF warlike, stern command.
Yet all the navies Of the world
Our bows in vain assail;
We fear no smoking battle tower
That flanders through the gale.
BY captains gray our path is marked
BY sailors white and Old;
For us the phantom rockets glare
And phantom bells are tollcd.
In misty unromcmhered ports
Our beacon lights we set
by hands long gone from mortal view,
BY forms that men forget
And we may wander Oh our course
Till time at end shall he.
For in our breasts are locked the mlis
OF ships once lost at sea.

The Naval Cipher.

Tho naval cipher would make good
textbook for the puzzle editor and the
queer people who solve their freakish
maneuverings. Words and sentences
are as involved in these mysterious
writings as it is well nigh possible for
human thoughts to be concealed. All
the great departments of the govern
ment have their own way of transmit
ting secret messages, but the naval
code is the most intricate and vexa-
tious of all, This naval code has been
doing business for a good many years.
but no one ever thought much about it
until the Washington newspaper men
suddenly discovered that it was a very
great nuisance in their business Not
that these enterprising chaps are IN
patriotic and want to pry into govern
ment secrets, but the transmission OF
a code message takes such long time
that the waiting becomes tiresome In
some mysterious manner the receipt Of
an important message is always
breathed forth in this little newspaper
community. and there is usually a
scurrying to the department to get
such portions as are to be given out.
At first sight. these code cablegrams
are not different from any other code
messages. They are a tumble of words
from all languages, LIMOGES and dia-
lects, with a sprinkling of common
strong slang. They suggest history
prize fighting, art criticisms. mathe-
NAUTICAL problems. politics, circus I'D.

Instruction to the Guard.

The instructions issued by General
Chaffee, under direction of the war
department, in regard to the protection
Of the American Legation at Pekin al
ter the departure of the United States
troops from China We're recently made
public at the department. They desig-
nate Company b. OF the Ninth Infant
~ as the legation guard, and Major
T. Is. Robertson of that regiment is
detailed as commander. Major Rob
ertson's attention is especially invited
to the fact that the troops under his
command are stationed in foreign
country with which the United States
Is on terms of friendship. The guard,
must. therefore, not be used aggres-
sively unless in defense OF the Ameri-
can Legation or persons and property
of American citizens in its immediate
vicinity. The guard will repel attacks
made by Chinese on the American
Legation or its own position, and IL
necessary to do so, may fire on the as
sailants. 1t may cooperate with other
foreign troops for the defense of the
legations in event of attack being
made on the same by Chinese forces.

The People VIII Not Allow Their
Agents to Suffer.

CEXtract from Gov. Aycocks Inaugural
Our opponents have announced the
movement which we inaugurated to
amend the Constitution, and which
will be carried out in the spirit just
suggested, as revolutionary. They
sought to prevent its success by
threats before the election and in the
first moments Of passionate dis
appointment after the election they
began prosecutions against certain
officers of the State for alleged wrong
doing in connection with the August
election. This movement of ours
was carried out with such deliberate
high purpose and such noble earnest
ness that thousands of our political
opponents joined hands with us in
effort to forever settle question
which had distressed us for thirty
years. 1t was the uprising OF almost
an entire people. There was about
it indeed in its spontaneousness, in
its enthusiasm, in its determination
and sturdiness OF purpose, and its
high aims, something of the revolu-
tionary spirit of 1776. That spirit
still lives in the hearts Of North
Csrolinians. II is part, and glori-
Gus part Of their heritage-it cannot
be destroyed by persecution. A
whole people cannot be prosecuted,
nor will they, without the utmost
exertion see any of their agents made
10 suffer for the defeat Of those who
sought in vain to stem the mighty
tide of popular opinion.

DEATH OF THE GOOD QUEEN"
A Whole World Stands Mute With

(Raleigh Christian Advocate. }


In the Chapelle Ardente, Isle OF
Wight, on a platform draped with
royal purple, in simple collin,
canopied with red and white hang
ings, with q peaceful smile upon her
face and cross of gold upon her
breast, lie. England's dead Queen,
The end which had been delayed
through so many long years came at
the close of the day on Tuesday,
January 22nd. There was no strug-
gle. AS gently as the rays OF the
morning star broaden and lengthen
into the glory of the sunrise did the
light OF the Good Queens life glide
into the glory Of the eternal morning.
Alexandrina Victoria was the only
child Of Edward, Duke Of Kent, and
Princess Victoria Mary Louisa, daugh-
ter of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. She
was born in 1919, and became heir
presumptive to the crown on the sue
cession of William ", in 1880. The
latter diving without issue. Queen
Victoria assembled the throne June 80,
1897. She was married February 10,
1910, to Prince Albert Of Sax-Coburg,
Gotha. From this union there were
nine children: Victoria Adelaide,
who married the Crown Prince Fred
erick William of Prussia, father Of
Kaiser William Of Germany; Albert

| Just become Edward VII, King Of
| England; Alice Maud Mary, now dead !;
| Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke OF

daughter OF the Emperor Of Russia :;
| Princess Helena Augusta Victoria;
Princess Louise Caroline Alberta,
married the Marquis of Lorne; Prince
| Arthur William Patrick, Duke OF Con-
naught; Prince Leopold George Dun-
can Albert. Duke of Albany, now
dead; Princess Beatrice Mary Vic
toria. The Prince Consort died
| March 16, 1861. This was a great
blow to the Queen. The married life
Of these two was beautiful. 1t stands
out fair against the dark background
OF the moral life of many of England 5
sovereigns. Prince Albert died,
mourned by all his people. A man Of
no special ability, he established a
character which is one Of the precious
heritages OF England. On January
l, 1877, Victoria was proclaimed En-
press India.

will the eye grow moist when the

Evansville, Ind. Jan. 2Sth.-Cities
and towns along the Ohio River have
begun crusade against the negroes
The entire trouble dates back to the
lynchings of the negroes at Rockport
and Bonneville for the murder of the
white barber Simmons at Rockport
last month. The Board of Safety Of
this city has ordered the police to ar
rest all strange negroe. and bring
them before the city police judge
Ii they cannot give any reason for
being here they will be sentenced TO
the rock pile.
1t is estimated that there are 1000
colored men in this city who ab.o-
lutsly refuse to work. They spend
their time in the low saloons and
dives OF the city and live the best wav
they can. On election day they are
in the market for the highest bidder
Other towns in Indiana along the
river are taking steps to drive the
worst element of negroe. away. In
some towns no negro is permitted to
remain. Vigilance committees have
been appointed at Grand View, Enter
prise, Tell City and Leavenworth.
Since the recent trouble at Newburg.
many of the colored people have left

EXPOSITION MAKING.
THE PAN-AMERICAN TO EXCEL IN
MANY PARTICULARS.

The Most Delicate and Intricate
Plastic Work Ever Attempted For
Expedition Purposes Color and
horticultural Embellishments.
The development Of the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition at Buffalo is observed
with profound interest throughout the
western world. Almost every day
shows some new feature of the magnif-
cent enterprise completed. Some new
tower rears aloft it's ornamental pin.
nacle. some new dome presents its
rounded top to the sky, or some new
decoration Of form or color is added to
the wonderful bouquet Of architecture
al loneliness.
Never was there an Exposition SO
novel, SO unlike what the world has
learned to expect, as this. With the
glorious examples Of the Exposition
builders art and genius to look back
upon with fond remembrance and adj
miration. the world has wondered K all
that has been promised for the Pan
American would be realized. II ona
may Judge by the present stage of the
vast work. the millions Of visitors to
Buffalo during the exposition season,
which begins on the LIST Of May next,
will suffer 40 disappointment.
The Pan-American Exposition will
outshine it's distinguished predeces-
sors in many particulars. OF these the
court settings are Of first Importance.
In order that there may be abundant
room, for no Ia bora fo 6aeorof two Of.
fects. SO acres are alone devoted to
courts. This area is two and half
times the area of the courts at the
Chicago Columbian Exposition. About
these broad courts ere grouped q score
of great buildings. in which the multi
tube of exhibits from all parts of the
western world are to be displayed.
AS second important feature may
be mentioned the ornate architecture.
the use of plastic orna mentation Of
very Intricate and beautiful design and
groups in the exterior decorations Of
buildings. entrances and architectural
features. No less than 125 original
sculpfured groups, modelled by some 80
or more distinguished American sculp-
tors. will be used In this feature Of the
decorative work.
The use Of an elaborate color scheme
has never before been attempted at an
exposition. The appropriate title Of
the Rainbow City" has already been
applied to this great group of brilliant
ly colored buildings. and lovers Of color
will find the exquisite harmony Of
tints that has here been produced q
most delightful subject for contempla-
ton and study.
AS fourth point Of superiority may
be named the hydraulic and fountain
features. In all the courts are broad
pools containing numberless cascades
and fountains. These will add to the
beauty Of the great work in no.small
degree. Many of the fine sculptures
will form a part Of these charming
| fountains. \ broad and stately canal,
mile and half in length, banked
| with grass and lined with a double row
| of young trees, completely encircles the
| main group of buildings.
The Horticultural establishment of
| the grounds constitutes a fifth point of
| excellence. Ornamental trees, shrubs,
| lawns and flowers of brilliant hue will
