DIR. Blackwell will Probably Remain
In Wilmington

1t was thought that the Rev. DR..
Blackwell would inform his congrega-
ton at the First Baptist church on
Sunday morning whether he would or
would not accept the call to h First
Baptist church of Newport News, but
he did not give a final answer.
At the IL o'clock service Mr.. j. c.
Stevenson e a letter from the Vir-
ginia church in which this congregation
was informed of the action of the Vir-
ginia church in leaving it's call open
but releasing DR.. Blackwell from any
obligations which he may have felt
himself under by reason of intimations
that he would favorably consider the
call.
DIR. Blackwell made a few remarks
saying he was gratified at the proceed
ure in the matter and admired the
frank manner in which the entire affair
had been passed On between the two
churches, and especially Sc that there
was no friction over the matter. DR..
Blackwell is now in a position to con-
slider what will be his duty in the mat
t~er-whether to go to NEWPORT News
or remain here. 1t is now believed
that DR.. Blackwell will decline the call
from the Virginia church.

AN INTERESTING COUPLE.
Frank j, Gould and His Charming
Fiuncee, Miss Helen Margaret
Kelly.

The engagement of Miss Helen Mar
garet Kelly, of New York, grand
daughter of the late Eugene Kelly,
and Frank j. Gould, recalls the fact
that Jay Gould and Eugene Kelly
were enemies. So active in their
hatred of each other were they that
philosopher said to Mr.. Gould:
You scott at the scientific theory
of heredity, but why do you and
Kelly detest each other so much? ?
Because your ancestors were on op-
posite sides at Cromwelfs invasion
of Ireland"
Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Gould regarded
that explanation of their perpetual
disputes as frivolous. Their disputes
were about ethics of banking, about
stock speculation and railways.
The courts have hardly ceased to
be preoccupied by them, says the
New York Journal. Mr.. Kelly was a
devout Catholic, Mr.. Gould Presby-
terian. Mr.. Kelly opposed his sons
marriage with a Protestant.
1t happened in 1882 and was kept
secret from him until 1898. But then
he was not displeased. He loved his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Edward j.
Kelly.
Her husband died in July. He was
commodore of the New York Ro-
ehelle Yacht club, owner of the steam
yacht Barracuda, and gave festivals
there which had great charm of
unaffected cordiality.
His death happened while he was
making preparations to entertain
Rear Admiral -Schley. His daughter
is II; Frank j. Gould is "a years of
age. She was educated in convent.

WORRY is IMPROBABLE.
Victim of the Strength necessary
for His Life Work.

There is nothing so foolish and un-
profitab as a habit of worrying. 1t
destroys nervous energy and robs us
of strength necessary for the real
work of life. 1t makes existence
burden and weariness, instead of a
joy and blessing. Poise and serenity
are necessary to true success. The
man who worries is never self-cen-
tered, never perfectly balanced,
never at his best; for every moment
of mental anxiety takes away vital
ity and push, and robs him of man
hood and power.
Worrying indicates lack of con-
fidence in our strength; it shows
that we are unbalanced. The man
who does not worry, who believes in
himself, touches the wires of infinite
power.
The habit of worry is largely
physical inflrmity; it is an evidence
of lack of harmony in the internal
system. The well-poised soul, the
self-centered man, never wabbles or
hesitatcs. Enough vital energy has
been wasted in useless worry to run
all the affairs of the world.-Baptist
Record.

CLUB OF RED-HAIRED MEN.
City of Washington Has mn Organi-
zntion of Members with Au-
burn Locks.

One of the most unique social or
CARNATIONS in the country has re-
Gently been formed at Washington,
inhexible rule for membership is that
the applicant shall have red hair.
The society is defined by member
as being a society of protest" but
strictly social in its aims. 1t has no
philanthropical nor political ideals.
and there is no danger, should the
idea spread and become national in
its scope, of the r. II. C.'s putting
forth a candidate for the presidency.
1t seems that the society organized
in a rebellion against the antiquated
and moldy witticisms which red
haired people in all parts of the civ
ilized and uncivilized world are sup
posed to enjoy, or at least to suffer
with sickly pretense of enjoymtnt.
just what there is in the fact that
n person possesses red hair that
would call forth the efforts of the
would-be wit may never be learned"
said a young lady, who is employed
at the bureau where the club origi-
mated. But it is trua that from time
immemorial red-haircd people have
suffered boredom from the shafts of
certain obnoxious type of joker.
Yet it has been left for the bright
headed employees of this bureau to
formulate an organized protest"
The air of mystery which sur
rounds the meetings of the members
is source of great pique to their fell
low clerks. 1t is alleged that a con-
stitution and bylaws have been
drawn up defining the purposes of
the club and that the president is
facetiously referred to as the "most
lurid luminary." The other officers
and members as Satellites" "lesser
lights" etc.
A ctrtain young doctor who is en-
ployed in the bureau is reputed to
be the president of the club. He not
only boasts a shock of bright red
hair of the most approved color, but
rejoices in an exceedingly luxuriant
growth of flaming beard as well.
When questioned as to the au-
thenticity of the report that he was
the president of the club or rather
the most lurid luminary," the med
ical man laughed and refused to eth
er affirm or deny the report The
doctor, in discussing the society,
called attention to the fact that some
of the greatest personages of history
were red-haired. David is described
as "ruddy youth" those tresses of
the sainted maid of Orleans, which
shone so brightly beneath The royal
tleur-de-lis of France and mingled so
pathetically with the leaping flames
of Rheims, are historical; ST. Paul was
red-haired; the lovely but Inflated
Mary Queen of Scots had a natural
crown OF ruddy gold; julius Caesar
and Martin Luther are alleged to
have had red hair.

Mr.. Gould was always under the guild
ance of his sister, Miss Helen Gould.
Mrs. Kelly and Miss Gould are
friends, and were in the completely
of the love for each other of Miss
Kelly and Mr.. Gould. She has the ap-
probation of art and of books that
Frank j. Gould has not.
Miss Kelly knows as well as her
uncles, if not better than they, the
beautiful books and the art objects
that they have collected. George j.
Gould regards her as the most
learned admirer of the English paint
knows. She is beautiful, studious,
and has a distinctive charm of natu-
ralness.
Frank j. Gould has the finest ken
nels of st. Bernard dogs in this coun-
try and stables that have won many
prizes at horse shows. He will have
in April steam yacht which is be-
ing built for him.
He is man of business, a director
of the Missouri Pacific railway and
other companies. His yearly in
Sohit 10 eiioIliiouS. MISS nelly is TO

Following closely upon the recent
announcement that Frank ]. Gould
is to marry Miss Helen Kelly comes
another that he will abandon all
sports.
Mr.. Gould proposes to dispose of
his stable and his kennel. His sta
Bile is composed of such famous
horses as Birmingham and Sandring-
ham. Gould's kennel is known all
over the world.
Gould expects that his new yacht
will be finished next winter, and with

DOMESTIC TRAINING.
Why IL should De an Essential EIe-
ment I'm the Education of Our
American Girls.

A practical training in the art of
successful housekeeping should be an
essential element in the education of
our girls. 1t is regretable fact that
the domestic education of girl is too
often neglected. If there is one thing
above another that will disturb the
peace and harmony of family that
has in ii the elements to make n hap
py home, il is the inefficiency of the
wife or mother to properly conduct
the affairs of the household.
The average young unsophisticated
girl of to-day believes her worldly edu-
cation to be at an end when she has
gained the mastery of an art, can
rattle off few airs on the piano, can
sing passably well, or has won a GER
tificate for proficiency in some foreign
language. In this conclusion she errs.
There is much still to be learned, would
she fit herself for the important do
mestic duties to which nine out of
every ten girls are sooner or later
called. The woman, the mother, may
properly be called the handspring of
the home. 1t is she who dictates the
policy of the household and presides
over the destiny of its inmates.
1t is important, therefore. that the
natural instincts and gifts of the wom-
ans nature should be carefully fos-
tered and developed, that the best in
them may be utilized to build an edu-
cation that will serve we'll the girl
who has been instructed in the art
of housekeeping-N. Y. Weekly.

there should be such a situation at the
national capital is not clear. But in
New England a special local agency
has been at work-an influx of factory
girls from Canada. Thus there is an
occasional exception to the rule that
the majority of the immigrants are
males.
AS might be expected, the great
est excess of men is to be found
in the far west, in the great ag-
ricultural and mining districts.
In Minnesota and Nebraska there
were at least 81 men out of every
100 people for long time, from 55 to
So in the Dakotas, and from 60 to es in
most of the regions of the west and
southwest. The ratio in Montans was
once as great as 81 out of 100, and even
in 1890 was 66H to 33h. A slow.
steady tendency toward equality has
been observable, however. except in
Utah, where the excess of men kept
below the national average until 1880
and then increased only slightly. The
connection between this fact and po-
lygamy is too obvious to need pointing

way: Push a needle through a cork
until the point just appears on the

break eff the eye end of the needle un-
til it is flush with the cork. Lay the
cork on the coin, needle point down,
hit it sharp blow with hammer, and

Perhaps a cent or nickel had better be
used in tDis experiment, as punched
