New York Journal.
When the English House of Lords met
yesterday the Prime Minister read mes
sage from King Edward announcing that
in view of his eminent services in South
Africa Lord Roberts would be honored
by court Of inquiry to determine whether
or not he was a coward, whether he had
disobeyed the orders of the War Office,
whether he had kept rs close a watch
on the enemy as he might have done,
whether he had ever said, Damn kitch-
ener-let Kitchener look out for himself, :
and whether he had ever been known to
tell lies.
Or-stay-we must have mixed things
up. Yes; on closer examination We find
that what King Edwards message real
ly contained was a recommendation that
parliament concur in a grant OF 100000
to Lord Roberts in addition to the earl
dom and the orders previously bestow-
ed upon him by a grateful government
for piece of work that he left half done
and that nobody else has yet been able
to finish. You see, that is in England,
not in America

81 900 TO HER CHURCH.

College has been expressed SO often in
large gifts that it has come to DE a saw
ing: 1T is disgrace for a rich Harvard
man to die without leaving money to his
alma mater" -, ~.
There has Grown up in North Carolina
a more generous disposition to remember
the cause of religion and education, in
ones will, and the women of means have
given more than the men. The last will
that gives a large sum to Christian
causes is that of Mrs. Sarah White. who
died in Charlotte last week. Item nine
of her will reads:
Il give and bequeath to the trustees of
the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States Commonly
known as the Southern Presbyterian
church,, the sum of 81 900 for the Gin
valid fund.- and the sum of $4,000 for
'sustentation,' and the sum of $4,000 for
foreign missions"

tematically to these agencies for the
spread OF the gospel, and she has wisely
arranged that, though dead, her contribu-
tions shall not be missed in the treas

This man saw snakes sure enough.
The Monroe Enquirer says: "Mr. S. A.
Latham, of Buford township, has been
troubled with snakes, the water mocca-
sin species, in the box at his spring
where he keeps his milk and butter in
the summer time. Mr.. Latham says
that hundreds of young moccasns have
been killed near the box within the
past eight years. A few days ago Mr..
Latham killed what he thinks was the
mother of all the young moccasins
around his spring The old snake
weighed four and one half pounds and
with her there were eighty-one young
snakes
The fondness of Methoist preachers
for chickens is proverbial. Here is the
toughest story about them from the
Wilkesboro Chronicle: BRO. Bumwar-
ner, clerk Superior court tells us this
chicken and snake story which he saw
and swears to. A lean, gawky little
rooster cautiously came out from his
hiding place Saturday morning and was
picking up crumbs on the street. The
rooster ventured too far out and soon
found himself in close proximity to sew
eral groups of conference attendants.
The rooster realizing his danger started
to retrace his step. but found a little
snake was waiting for him. Between
the two dangers, the rooster chose the
snake and attacked it and succeeded in
coming out victorious. The rooster has
not since shown himself"

SAMPSON SCHLEY.
(WilSon NeWS.)


2 The powers that be have decreed that
SIMPSONS image shall adorn the med.
ais presented to the Santiago heroes.
They should be made of brass and on
the reverse side should be the jaw bone
of an ass, with the following inscrip-
ton:
with this the ancient Sampson slew
one thousand Philistines. With this
the modern Sampson destroyed the
Spanish fleet. With this he also slew
himself"
They can put Simpsons picture on
their medals II they choose,
They can give him all the credit for
sending in the news,
But the boys who did the fighting know
that he was far away,
And that Schley won the battle in San
tiago bay.
And he who wears this image upon his
manly chest
Will cherish quite, another within his
loyal breast
For the brave believe in justice and
every man his right,
And that honor should be given to the
man who won the fight.
And not to him who planned it, Git
matters not how welD,
Then went chasing up the river away
from shot and shell.
And just return in time to claim the
vic'try all his own,
And present a July offering which an
other man had won.
When Gunner Morgan gets his medal
and pms it on his breast
wonder if he'll appreciate that image
with the rest,
And feel that he is honored by the i'm
age of a snob,
And tried to down a worthy mate and
keep him from his job.
don't believe the medals made, the
pure and unalloyed
That will consent to ever be to SUCH
base use employed.
Twill canker in the crucibles, or else
refuse to flow.
Or turn at last to very dross and thus
disfavor show.
The gods of war methinks would blush
to see such outrage done
To such a noble heroic such worthy
son.
| Though politicians do their worst to
kill a hero's fame,
The people have forever sworn to keep
alive Schley's name.
