THE FUND NEARLY RAISED

New York Letter in The Pittsburg Dis
 patch.
 Methodsts are congratulating them selves on ending this calendar year with a round sl50oo,OCO of their s2o, GOO thank offering fund. Mass meetings designed to insure the raising of the remaining s, 5,0O0,- 900 are to begin in January, and are to be held in New York, Boston, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Chicago. In Pittsburg and other large cities no meetings are to be held, for the reason that in them the task has already been accomplished, and the cities selected are intended to be national. Speakers at all of them are to be Governors and United States Senator's. All the millions thus far raised will be used for strengthening ex- isting enterprises.

EUROPEAN ETIQUETTE.
It Rules the Cities With an Iron
 Hand.

From the New York Tribune.
 Etiquette rules European cities with iron hand" said N, s. Connor of Wash ington at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes- terday. Tt prescribes where one must sit at meat and how that meat shall be taken. It rules that a married woman shall sit on one side of carriage and an unmarried one on the other, and or dains divers other things which. to the uninitiated, seem peculiar and unnec- essary. Etiquette came to it's most and exact and finical practice under the old French monarchy, and was a strong bull wark to the French crown. Had you stripped Louis XIV. of the etiquette and conventions that enshrouded him he would have stood forth as a pretty poor sort of man, not as the semi-divine and his court to think him. A hungry, reckless Parisian mob tore the etiquette and conventions from Louis xIV,'s grandson, Louis XVI, and found that etiquette and convention were all that there was of the semi-divine. What there was left was a plain, simple man, When the Parisians recovered from the shock of this surprise they cut his head off without undue delay. With this un- fortunte man ended the etiquette of the old regime, but in a modified form it still survives and forms a part and par eel of society the world over. The eti- quette of an earlier day has passed. Many would hesitate in this age strictly to follow Chesterneid's advice, Without hesitation kiss the slipper, or whatever else the etiquette of that court requires Yet for all that 1t is not bad advice. Etiquette Is a good thing in its proper place, but at the same time it Is pro- ductive at times of much heartburning.
 "we in this country think instinctiveiy of courts when etiquette is mentioned, yet doubt very much if the points of it are more eagerly discussed or the pre- negatives of 1t more firmly insisted on in St. Petersburg than they are in Wash ington. For example, there is that vexed and until recently unsettled question, Should the wives of the judges of the Supreme Court call on the wives of the Senators first, or vice versa? You can get opinions on both sides for the ask ing in any Washington drawing room. Another point of etiquette that has been productive of more or less discussion for century is that the President must take precedence of all others, even of his wife. The rule is ironclad, and President after President has lodged unavailing protest against 1t. the present incumbent of the ofice among the others. He, as others before

TO THE BITTER END.
Rayner Says He Will Carry the Fight.
 May Spring Sensation.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The Sun, on MT. Isador Rayner's au- thority, can say that the Schley fight will be carried forward to the bitter end.
 The partial victory of the navy clique that has been fighting the Santiago hero for years has but determined MT. Ray ner and the other friends of the admir- al to go to the very end of every re- source.
 ''There will be no quarter in this fight" said MT. Rayner last night. We are armed as never before. This great wrong must be lighted
 'Is it true, Mir. Rayner," asked the Sun reporter, that you have material on which you will demand the impeach- ment of one of the iudges?"
 Mr. Rayner paused, looked surprised and then replied. weighing every word
 '1 cannot answer that question now"
 sWhyT
 "I can say nothing on the subject until certain evidence we are accommodating is complete"
 MT. Rayner was asked whether any course of procedure had been determined upon today, He said:
 If we fail before the secretary and before the President and before Congress in getting any hearing at all in any of these places I shall undoubtedly advise action in the courts. There are a num- Der of ways in which the question can be opened and the main points tried. and will never reeonsile my mind. and so told the admiral today, to abandoning an inch of ground 50 long as there is the faintest hope of rectifying this mis- carriage of justice and having this ap- palling verdict stricken from the records of the country"

"Three car loads of negroes" says the Philadelphia Times, have been dep6yted to Nova Scotia to work in the furnaces. It is innocently stated that 1t is not known whether the emi- grafton will be continued or not If the doubtful ones will only wait until those negroes have gone through one Nova Scotia winter the question will be answered to their fullest satisfac- ton. The main reason why the peo- pie of the North take such strong in terest in the negro question is because

 A CONVENTION OF REGISTRARS.
From the Bsssemer Workman.


 After the registrars are all appointed, it would be good idea to hold a regis trars' convention in Montgomery and have President Knox and few other distinguished lawyers conduct school of instructon-for a day at least. This plan would be much better than to try to in struct by letter from Montgomery or to have the instructors go from county to county All of the registrars are to follow the same law, and school of instruction for these men who hold the right of suf- frage in the hollow of their hands should be not only necessary, but imperative. All white men should be permitted to vote, and if no mistakes are to be made, let the registrars be thoroughly conver- sant with the intricacies of the law.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Ohio River Traffic.

With all the zero weather we have had on the Ohio river recently there has been on ice to interrupt navigation . said Cincinnati man at the Metropoli- tan yesterday.
 The fact that the river has been free of ice is accounted for partly by It's freshet atage. Still it seems quite re- markable that zero did not bring ice enough to cause the steam boats to tie up. I have known the Ohio to be fuil of heavy. cutting ice before Christmas when the mercury stood ten degrees above zero. River traffic, principally in coal, is heavy all the way from Pitts burg to New Orleans. Twenty years ago the great volume of freight along the Ohio was carried in boats. Today the railroads get a large percentage or freight, of course but the bulk of it is still moved in harges. Water transnor- tation is slow compared with rail but nothing will ever take it's place, in the matter of business economy

A GOOD PLAN.

From the Coosa River News.
 The Age-Herald suggests that the new County Registrars. when they shall have been appointed for the different counties of Alabama, meet at Birmingham or Montgomery to decide upon some plan of uniform plan of registration for the State. The Birmingham paper ventures the opinion that lat least one Registrar in each county can be found who will attend such a meeting" The News thinks the idea a good one and would like to see the Age-Heralds plan carried out,

Jeff Davis Arch.

"A monument to Jefferson Davis in the way of a granite arch Is to be erected in Richmond without delay" said Vir= ginia veteran of the Confederacy.
 "The Jeff Davis Monument Association has s40,o00 in hand and s10,O0O more will be raised before the arch is completed The cornerstone of Davis monument was laid in Monroe Park Richmond, several years ago. This monument was to be a pretentlous work of art-some- thing like a temple or shrine with a mar ble statue of the Confederate President, of heroic size, in the interior The cost was calculated at $15OoOo. But 1t was found that so large an amount would be difficult to raise, and the committee wisely decided to abandon the Monroe Park scheme and erect memorial on a less costly scale.
 aAs the veterans are dying off rapidly the arch Is to be completed In 1903, so as to have a goodly number of the old Con- feds at the unveiling. This will be the last of the great Confederate events Monuments of Confederate heroes may be unveiled here and there for ten years to come, but they will be of local in terest only. The Davis arch will be or general interest and every veteran who can move about and raise the price Of transportation will be in Richmond in 1903.
