Reward of Philanthropy.

A wagon heavily loaded with paving
stones was moving along the street car
track, says the Chicago Tribune.
Get out of there!" yelled the motor
man.
The motorman of street car imme-
diately in the rear was shouting and
ringing the gong.
After a time the driver turned his
head with a surprised look.
I'm gittin'," alphabetically answered
the driver, leisurely turning his horses
to the right.
The horses succeeded in pulling the
wagon partially off the track, but the
front wheels sank down into hole in
the WORKOUT cedar block pavement, and
refused to move any farther.
In vain the driver used strong Ian
guage and the horses tugged.
Theycould almost do it, but not quite.
large, beefy policeman standing
near looked on impassively. There was
no emergency calling for his interior
ence, and he didn't interfere.
But an equally large and beefy pas
senger, with broad shoulders, thick
neck, and a hand like a smoked ham,
became impatient.
"All they need he said, climbing
out of the car and addressing the driv-

mournfully. Il amt paid for pullin'

You're not paid for stopping a whole
carload of passengers, either. Get down
off that wagon. or I'll pull you down,

Get down." yelled a dozen passen-
gers.
The man slowly climbed down.

pounds of hog off the load" comment
ed the aggressive passenger, stopping
down and grasping a spoke of the
wheel nearest him. Nov, hold the lines
IN one hand, speak to your horses, and
pull up on that other wheel Ready.
Nowi"
The horses tugged, the big man heav-
ed with all his might, and the wagon
moved off the track.
There was a cheer from the passen-
gers, the conductor gave the bell two
quick rings, the motorman turned on
the power, and the car dashed ahead.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham Age Herald Dem)
says: The South furnishes a hand
some part of the exports in the forms
of cotton and cotton goods. and a great
deal of grain and provisions is going
out through Southern ports. The shin
ments of breadstuffs and meats do NOT
spring from Southern soil, but even
their shipment from Southern ports is
beneficial to this section in various
ways. 1t will lead to an immense trade
with South America, and later on when
the Nicaragua canal is built. with the
vast populations of the Pacific. Be.
tween what the South grows and
makes and what IL handles at its ports.
the South is gaining high position in
the export lists. New Orleans, Calves
ton. Newport News. Baltimore and Sa-
vannah are becoming great ports"
The Philadelphia Ledger nnd.) says:
while the operations of our army in
the Philippines. like those of the Brit
ish in South Africa. have dwindled to
mere guerrilla warfare. there is this
difference between them, that our
forces meet with no reverses. Every
few days they make an important cap
ture OF Filipino prisoners, but the Fill
pino capture no Americans. Every in
dication points to complete ending
of the Instruction In the near future,
but Gen. Chaffee is wise in refusing
to release the Filipino leaders now i'm
prisoned on Guam. IL is too soon for
that step in the process OF pacilca-
ton"
The Charleston Is. c. Post Dem
says: 1T Is said by those who should
know. that Senator MeLaurin is on
more intimate terms with President
Roosevelt than he was with the late
President Mckinley. II this Is so, there
will develop some very lively disap-
pointment among the Tillmanites. who
had hoped that the Junior Sena tors
influence at Washington had been cut
away by the assassin's bullet az Buffa.

Lieut.. Peary, Mr.. Bridgeman and DR..
Cook, protested against DR.. Dedricks
announced purpose Of remaining ana
endeavored to persuade him to return
south on the Erik, but he was obdu-
rate, Dr. Cook could find no evil
dences of an unsound mind in the man,
1t is said, so the Erik sailed away
without him. He was provided, how
ever, with arms and ammunition, and
the expedition members say they have
little fear but that he will get
through the winter all right, and will
be picked up by Peary's other
ship when she returns south,
or will work his way south
to point where he can board
a whaler He was self-marooned at
place near where Peary has cache of
food.
DR.. Dedrick went North with Peary
three years ago, and had been with
the relief ship. He had been Lieut..
Peary's physician for some time. 1t
was he who performed the surgical
operation on Peary's feet. There is
supposed to have been a personal at
tachment between the men. The doc
tor is spoken of as a man of eruditioh
and strong mind. Nevertheless the
commander and the doctor quarreied.
1t will be recalled that Lieut.. Greeley
had a similar experience with his ply
stefan, DR.. Pavy, in the Arctic expedi-
ton of 1Ss1-S2. There were disagree
ments and quarrels between them, and
Lieut. Greeley would probably have
made a severe report respecting the
matter except for the fact that DR..
Pavy died. Greeley therefore paid a
tribute to his ability and let the mat
ter drop.
The leaving of Peary's ship by DR..
DERRICK recalls the mysterious disap-
pearance of the young geologist, John
Verhoeff, from Peary's party in 1892.
verhoeff, like DR.. Dedrick. insisted on
leaving the ship and going off alone,
and, after some efforts at persuasion,
he was permitted to have his way. He
promised to return after a specified
time. The promise was not kept. A
party went in search Of him, but no
trace was ever found.

one of the cities in which he was book

he decided to cut out the latter. Co

A bright-looking boy came in and an

Bingham sat down on a chair and
told him to go ahead.

you mind lying down on the couch?"
"Why?" asked the astonished lee
turer.

Judge Lewis speech in defense of
Czolgosz was really more of an ex-
PLANTATION of the position occupied by
himself and Justice Titus as counsel for
the defendant than an argument for
the mitigation of the punishment of
his client. The lawyer touched, of
course, upon the only possible defense
that could be offered, that of insanity,
but his language showed that he had
no faith in it. The position of the dis
tinguished lawyers was a delicate one,
but they acquitted themselves with
honor to themselves and credit to the
court.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible maiady
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
Of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often In small way, asthe

Republicans In Conference.

The Republican State committee, in
Richmond Thursday, decided that candi-
dates for the Constitutional Convention
should be nominated in every county in
which there was any chance OF electing
them. The opinion is that it is useless
to contest the black counties. The meet
ing was held at Murphy's Hotel, and is
said to have been the most largely at
tended of any held in many years, per
haps as many as 100 OF the best known
Republicans Of the State being6in attend
ance. Hon. Park Agnew, of Alexandria,
State chairman, presided. The resolu-
ton to make the fight for Convention
delegates was offered by Col. s. Brown
Allen, of Staunton. r. Il. Thorp, OF
Norfolk, was the only member of the
committee who voted against it's adOp-
ton. The committee took no action
regarding the nomination of State
ticket, but it was learned from lobby
talk that the Republicans propose max
ing the following nominations For
governor, j. Hampton Hoge for lieu
tentant governor, Gen. It. l.. Rosser, and

A CONSTITUTIONAL NUT.

In THE FREE LANCE of two issues
ago appeared "a very sensible argu-
ment on the proposed suffrage re-
strictiOn from a cOlored man, one
Alfred Shelton, OF Middlesex, who we
believe to be owner and master OF
fine vessel and a landed proprietor.
He puts this question: Doesn't a
colored man who is law-abiding
citizen and a property owner have
the same right to vote as any other
man in this country? | fail to see
why the entire colored race should
suffer from the incapability of some.
His question might be answered by
saying that any man who can write
as well as Shelton need not fear dis
reimbursement under any of the prop
oSitiOns so far discussed, but who
willsay that il Shelton were illiterate
and yet the good and useful citizen
and taxpayer that he is that he
should be disfranchised? This point
will be a poser for the Convention
when it assemblies we warrant. 1t
may yet be adjudged best to have a
property qualification as we'll as an
educational one-the person possess
ing either sufficient education or
stipulated amount of taxable prop
erty to be allowed the privilege of
voting.
