other things:
can hardly compare life in Eng

ruling prince, but the high level of
intelligence usual in England, and my
coming into contact with men of diff

makes life, and especially holiday,
more enjoyable and more instructive.

and intellectual activity. | am much

to public affairs and to helping the

do not intend hereby to establish
any comparison to the disadvantage
of the people of India, as they do not
possess so large a rich. educated and
leisured class. In India, in order to
live happily and to prosper, one must
not attempt to be above the common
herd. Prominence of intellect or origi-
nality of thought is disliked and looked
upon with suspicion. There can be no
statesmen or generals where there is
no scope for the exercise of those
qualities. The great majority of the
people. on account of long thraldom,
ignorance and poverty. are incapable
of right discernment. The absence OF

criticism renders difficult any high
standard of indigenous growth. The

mark. has set before them models OF
foreign origin-a fact which makes
individuality of thought still more
rare and difficult. | would myself pre-

think not. What has once been part
OF us can scarcely fade into utter moth
ingness again. In another and more
perfect state OF existence, these ele-
ments OF happiness. disturbed here, but
peaceful forever there. will be our own
again. Their parting had been very
much like all others. to all outward
seeming. The fearful eyes. the half
choked farewell. were all there; and
careless eyes looked on and careless
laughter arose around them. But !
doubt if ever there was sorer heart
than Stanley We're took with him as
the train moved slowly away. as he
caught the last glance from those soft
eyes, the last wave OF that snowy hand.
In such separations pity is wasted on
the one who goes; it should be given to
the one who is left behind, to follow
each daily occupation. yet forever miss
the voice and eye that once lightened
and illumined them.
But the breaking up of such an at
tachment is no light thing, and to him
the world seemed suddenly dark and
cold. Missing Rose. he CROPPED blindiy
on his way, as II the light OF his ex-
istence had gone out. In fact she
was the only one who had stood be-
tween him and the world. Others
might have a mother, father, a broth
er, or a sister, to stand between them
and that harsh and cruel judge. He
| had but her, and when she was taken
| from him. all those sweet ties were
rent in the one that bound them to-
gether, and he stood face to face with
| all the antagonists, unarmed and I'M
| shielded. He tried to supply her place
not because he was inconstant, but
because he loathed loneliness. In ev-
cry instance he failed. Those whom
he sought had other ties and friends;
at least, he could only occupy sec
ondary place within their hearts. What
was more important to him than this
they were of the common order OF
women. Their souls were narrow
brains capable OF supporting but one
set OF ideas. Probably he wearied
them, but it is certain that they
wearied him most unbearably.
Now Rose, with all her girlish fun
and gaiety, had a noble soul, that fed
upon high thoughts. and intimate as
ISOLATION with such fresh, pure spirit
as hers had untitled him for any lower
companionship. So it came to pass
that he still went on his way alone;
and in the valley of humiliation, or
on the mountains OF peace, his cry
had ever been, will she ever come
back to me? Shall find and win her
once again?' He asked that question
standing in the public road and look
ing UP at the white walls and lighted
windows of her present home. AS he
gazed, he saw figure-a female figure
pacing up and down the lawn. His
heart told him who it must be. In
moment he was by her side.
Rose, Rose! Will you welcome me
back?" he cried in a voice that trem
bled with eagerness.
And She pale and startled, blu
smiling all the while, put both he
hands in his.
Dear Stanley, welcomed!
And so the question was answered.

CARPENTERS BROTHERHOOD.
A Visiting Official Tells of the Good Work of
the Order.

Mr.. J. r. Grimes, of Galveston. Texas,
member of the executive board of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, was in Raleigh Satur-
day night on his way home from a meet
ing in Philadelphia and addressed a gath
ering of carpenters and mechanics
In speaking of the order Mr.. Grimes
says it is not a secret oathbound organ
ization, that it has been in very few
strikes. AS to its growth he said ii was
founded in 1881, with twelve local unions
and 2,042 members. These in twenty
years have grown to 925 local unions in
800 cities with over $4,000 members. IT'S
purpose is the protection and improve
ment of the carpenter trade in every wav
possible, a establishment of the an
prentice system, benevolent and fraternal
organization. Mr.. Grimes says that the
union has expended about one and a
quarter million of dollars for benevolent
and charitable purposes: has raised the
wages in hundreds of cities, and placed
fully five and half million dollars more
wages annually in the pockets of the car
penters in those cities, has reduced the
hours of labor to eight hours a day in 275
cities, and nine hours day in 525 cities,
not to speak of many cities which have
established the eight and nine hour sys-
TEN on Saturdays. by this means, says
Mr.. Grimes, $4,000 more men have
gained employment.

Union Pacific interests.
The crux of the reported agreement lay
in the proposed division of territory

was committed early Saturday morning.
Mrs. Fortenberry the wife of promi-
nent country gentleman, was the victim.
She was attacked, beaten into uncon-
seriousness and criminally assaulted by
the negro.
yet almost too weak to move, she began
crying for help. Within short time as
sistance reached her and she told the
s.ory of the crime. The negro was de-
scribed and posse organized and a
search began for the criminal.
A negro answering the description
given by Mrs. Fortenberry was caught and
tilted by Mrs. Fortenberry herself. She
stated positively that he was the brute
who had committed the crime.
The nerve of the negro gave way then
and he made confession of his crime,
telling all the details he had previously
denied. An informal court was organized
by the members of the posse and the trial
resulted in decision to burn the negro.
He was carried from the house to the
scene of his crime of the morning and
there burned at the stake.

enyeioped London and half of the Unit
ed Kingdom today, blockading shipping,
deranging railways and throwing bust
ness in London; Birmingham and other
provincial cities into confusion.
So dense was 1t that a walk into the

scended upon the metropolis and the SUI
burbs so thickly that between A and 5
o'clock in the afternoon the principal
avenues of traffic resembled the steam

Around Trafalgar Square and the
House of Parliament scenes unparallell-

of omnibuses, cabs. carts and wagons
formed an inextricable and immovable
mass. The mounted police in trying to
clear away the jam got lost themselves.

A BOY anu MATCHES
Ten Years Old Robert Brock
we'll Fires Cotton.
Ne Tries TO Beat Out the Flames With His Coat
But Flees Swif Iy From Policeman
Who chases,

Fire bells rang Sunday afternoon ust
before three o'clock and some cotton on
the Southern railway cotton platform
was found to be in a blaze. But for
quick work it might have been a serious
loss.
AS it was about forty bales were
ly, and ii is expected that the loss will
approximate $3.50. The cotton was the
property of Barbee e. Co., and is stated to
have been covered by cotton platform
insurance
A 10-year- old lad and number of
matches were the cause OF the trouble.
The boy is Robert l.. Brockwell son of
Mr.. T. F. Brockwell. who was playing
around the cotton platform and striking
matches on the iron hoops of the cotton
bales.
AS he struck one match the bale
caught and quickly the cotton was in a
blaze. The boy had his coat off and tried
to beat out the flames. as is told by
Malindy Hall. a colored woman, who was
the only witness of the beginning of the
fire.
Officer McRary, who was at his home in
the neighborhood heard the cry of fire
and rushed out. He saw a man turning
in the alarm and then saw small boy
going at a lively gait down Davie street.
He connected boy and fire and gave
chase. Finally the running lad was
stopped by other boys near the Boylan
place, half mile away and taken in
charge by Officer McRary.
Yesterday morning the boy was before
Mayor Powell and an investigation of the
case was expected. 1t had been stated
by some that young Brockwell had said
he set the cotton on fire for fun, and by
others that he was engaged in the bust
ness of playing train but there was
no investigation, as preliminary ex-
animation was waived and bond of $3.50
was given by the boys father for his ap-
pearance at the January term of the
Criminal court.
Mr.. T. l.. Brockwell the boys father,
speaking of the matter last night says
that his son declares the whole thing was
an accident and that he had no intention
of setting the cotton on fire. After he
struck the match and the cotton blazed
up he tried to put it out, but finding he
could not do this and seeing a policeman
coming he became frightened and ran
away.
