FOUND ANOTHER ONE.

The bones of another new one have just been dug up in Russia, and right here we want to say that If Noah had In the ark pairs of all the monsters which scientists are unearthing, then 1t Is time tc reconstruct the accepted figures as to the size of that vessel, and to give a different value to the cubit from the generally accepted one. Even then we don't envy the old navigator the job he had keeping them all straight
 But according to the theory of the jaw breaking Russian scientist who dug mp this latest find we would have to have general rcct instruction of dates as well as figures if we get his animal into the ark, for he declares that his critter is sV ppcsed to have flourished 10,006,GN years ago, and that antedates Noah few decades. That, however. has nothing to do with the case, as 1t is the animal It. self that cstly interests us at present If we get to discussing the era of the flood we are likely to get into deep water or hot water, which Is about as had and 10, 900 900 yesrs is a pretty safe place to start from. This new animal, which the discoverer calls Pariesaurus, judging from the pie lures we have seen, might be cross
 between a nightmare and a clothes-ho"se. Of course the animal itself has not ueen found because it died some years ago,
 but the Professor found all the bones rom which he has set up tho frame of a most horrible looking quadruped of the lizard family, ten feet long and only two and a half feet high. Whatever other claims may be made for the thing, 1t certainly was not handsome. for view of the restored skeleton would maKe a nervous man think he has 'em again. It is surely and undeniably ugly.
 An interesting feature of this new find
 is the statement that tracks of one of the family are to be seen on the rocxs | of New England, and we may reasonaLty look for the announcement from some
 Yankee bone-hunter that he has run one | of the skeletons to earth in our own country. If 1t isn't found in New Eng land il probably will Ee in Nevada or Ohio. True. the world can get along without such things. but as a matter of national pride we want our share of them.

Therefore there IS no excuse for the continual featuring or the South in respect to lynchings by the newspapers of the North. If they were in a position to lecture the South there would be some excuse for doing so. As a matter of fact the Northern people are more cruel to the negro than the people of the South. They deny him chance to earn a living and treat him with con- tempt when he asks for a crust of bread to allay his hunger.

THE PRESIDENTS DEATH.

Yesterday there was hush even In | the places where ordinarily excitement prevails. because of the painful news con- | stantly coming from the bedside of the | dying President. Everywhere in the ten derest tcncs and most sympathetic terms the expected news was discussed. It was the uppermost thought in the minds of millions of American people. and wher- ever civilization prevails the condition of Mir. Mckinley was an earnest topic of conversation.
 All day the bulletins indicated that the end was near, yet so great was the de- sire to hear something favorable, that people fingered around the boards and thronged newspaper and telegraph offices hoping to the last that some word of en- couragement would come. Their hopes were never realized.
 At the hour of 2:15 o'clock this morning Mir. Mckinley passed away. gently and quietly. His last words were to her who for so many years was the object of his unwearying care and attention. The gen. tie and afflicted wife. who was so near unto death a few weeks ago. received as his last message the comforting words Gods will. not ours be done." marking him to the last as the Christian states man whose life was consistent with his professions.
 The whole world has denounced the crime which took away from the scenes of life the head of the greatest republic that has ever existed. It does seem in- applicable that one so gentle and so full of kindness, should fall the victim of an assassin. It can scarcely be denied that MT. Mckinley was the most popular President who has ever filled the Execu- tive office. His political opponents re- spected and admired him. Those who knew him best felt for him a genuine affection, and there will be no mourners because of his death more sincere than strong men who often combatted his po- ntical views, but who loved the man.
 The whole land is in mourning, because 1t is realized that a just man held the reins, and that now they have dropped from his hand. He has been tried and they felt safe while he was at the helm, but we must remember that the same conditions have existed before and that under our form of government there will be no hiatus. The succession will be orderly and quiet. and we must patiently await the future, trusting that it will bring continuance of the good order and the good will that has so happily pre- vailed in recent years.

DISMAY IN LONDON.

Why Not Montgomery.

The Chattanooga Times thus calls at. tention to fine example of what may be done in Alabama:
 ''The little city of Huntsville, Ala, is about to secure its tenth cotton mill which will be a very large and fine one It will be pioneer in the South in the lines of shirtings and ginghams, goods that are not yet made to any apprecia- ble amount in this section. Huntsville is fast becoming leading center of the spinning trade"
 While Huntsville Is not in the cotton belt 1t is certainly in the swim, so far as working up the raw staple is con. cerned. And why should not a number of other cities in Alabama do as well?.- Advertiser.

Vice-President Roosevelts accession tc the Presidency will be a quiet affair. Il could not be otherwise under all the cir cumstances. He has conducted himself with great propriety during the trying ordeal of the past week. The first Vice President to become President by reason of death of the President, was John Ty- Ter, when President Harrison died. Mil lard Fillmore was the next upon death of General Taylor. Andrew Johnson was the next and was sworn In the night Mir. Lincoln died. When MT. Garfield died Chester A. Arthur succeeded, and now Theodore Roosevelt will succeed William Mckinley. It is sad to think that in three of these cases, Lincoln, Garfield and Mo Kinley, the changes were caused by the work of assassins.
