A FAD IN ENGLAND

M ~
The fad Of the season in England. ac-
cording to the London Express is Chris
tian Science. The people of wealth and
fashion are talking about little else. ex-
cept when there is a choice scandal to
be turned as a sweet morsel under the
tongue. The scandal, of course, always
holds first place in society's estimation.
After that there must be some sort of
fad to furnish amusement to the swell
set. Last season the fad was teiepatnv.
the season before 1t was Ibsen's writings
and before 'Ibsenity' it was psychical
research and spirit rappings, with hush
ed and mysterious seauces in darkened
rooms. Indeed. it would probably not
be difficult to run back over a quarter of
century or longer and find fad for
every season.
The Christian Science cult offers ex-
ceptional opportunities to the faddists.
especially those who delight to pose as
being far removed from the masses in
erudition. Christian Science, as a Bos-
ton preacher recently described it, is
''inteilectualism run mad" 1t is pro-
fessedly based upon logic, but its logic
Is most bewilderingly nebulous. That
makes 1t all the more delightful to its

dom without the nearer ever being able

means; which, as a matter of fact, is

the glib-talking demonstration may make
wonderful show Of erudition without
running any risk at all of being called to
order for erroneous reasoning. The cult

Yes, that's pretty funny, Harold
well, now, papa, we're both of us alike
about that, and yet you say I must go to
church because I'm boy and you needn't
go because you are a man. Why is that?'
That's an easy one. A man knows

The pension sharks are preparing to put
in claim for every one of the soldiers
returning from the Philippines who is
willing to make an affidavit that he re-
ceivcd wounds II those islands or Is in
capacitated by disease contracted there
We called attention the other day to the
fact that there are swarms of the agents
of these pension sharks in San Francisco,
and that they are aboard of the transports
returning from Manila with soldiers al
most before the vessels reach their
wharves. No doubt there are physically
sound soldiers who are made to believe
they have ailments of some sort for
which they are entitled to pensions.
One of the Western papers, the Chica-
go Record-Herald, takes the position that
the government should not permit PEN
zion claims to be filed by pension sharks
that 1t should itself undertake to settle
all claims without the Intervention of at
torneys. If it could do that no doubt
there would be saving to the treasury
of millions of dollars annually. but what
a howl there would be from those who
have made fortunes out of the pension
business and are still piling up wealth,
and from those who hope to get rich in
1t, II anything of the kind were attempt
edI They have influence enough to get
congressman and the Grand Army of the
Republic to take up their cause IL their
business should be menaced.
There is no doubt that the government
could attend to the whole matter, and
those entitled to pensions would get JUS
tice done them. Those not entitled to them
would be turned down without ceremoney.
But there is no probability of getting rid
of the pension sharks. They are going to
stay as long as there is a dollar to be
made out of the pension business.
II any congressman should attempt to
reform the pension business he would
find 1t difficult to get reelected. The pen
sion sharks would all turn against him
and they are not lacking In influence. 1t
is one Of the remarkable things that they
have not been able to force Commissioner
Evans out of the pension Office There is
no doubt that he has saved the govern
ment millions OF dollars by refusing to
allow doubtful claims. These sharks have
not given up trying to bring about his
removal and they may succeed yet The
| Presidents firmness in standing by him
makes some people think the former has
backbone.

Mr.. Carnegie, II could hardly afford to

that 1t would be impossible to produce

of the time when the people will not have
bread, or fuel, or a place to stand. All
of that will be taken care of as it comes

Experts OF the Treasury Department in
Washington calculate that II the exports
from this country to Russia continue to
fall off at the rate they have fallen off
since the first of March, the total loss OF
trade for the year will approximate ST.
1ias0O. This loss is said to be traceable to
the order OF the Secretary of the Treas
ury imposing the countervailing duty
on Russian sugars, and the retaliatory
order on the part Of the Russian govern
ment increasing the duties on certain
American goods. The responsibility for
this condition of affairs. Of course. rests
laws. and the Secretary OF the Treasury
has merely enforced them.

On all hands the newspapers seem dis
Sarah Bernhard will play Romeo" to
Maud Adams Juliet" as a joke or an
absurdity. There is hardly any good rea-
son for thinking 1t a joke, since there
would no doubt be money in it for the
manager and the actresses 1t might be
an absurdity. but then it must be remem-
bered that the American people are fond
of giving up their cash to see freaks.
Why, they'd even buy tickets to see

The men who are engaged in cutting and hauling the timber make fairly good wages. The cutters work by twos and get paid by the rank, each company cutting from A to 5 ranks and for which they receive $4 per day, averageing for each man the sum of $2 per day. The average made by each hauler and team is $4 per day. The general ex- penses per day so far have been about $50 and as only a com para lively small force has been em- ployed up to date the amount will be greatly increased when full force is put to work. At the present the force numbers about 39 men all told and we are ad- vised it will soon be increased until it will mum Der in the neigh bOrhood of one hundred men.

Woodruff County news., 1901-05-16

This is no fish story but the truth. Last Thursday afternoon our friend Brant Angus of near town came up to tell us of the marriage of his daughter Esna to Dr. W. T. Mccain @ and while here got off the following: Mrs. Brant Angus killed chicken which theyate atdinner or itmight have been supper. It don't mat ter when they ate it, neither is the fact of her killing a chicken anything unusual. It was common chicken, but it contained something uncommon. MT. An gus said that in dressing the chicken twelve eggs of various sizes were found in it. Four full grown eggs had hard shells, an uncommon thing to be found in chickens; one was full grown egg with soft shell, and seven were eggs in different stages of maturity ranging from the bean size up. Who can beat this?

3Oth of March and up to last Sat- urday 32 carloads had been shipped. The prospects for the future as stated are very en- cOuraging and it is thought that there will be work in the heading enterprise all this summer.
 Messrs. Hurley and Webb, two representatives of the company, were in our city last week and figured on several hundred acres of timber, and, if they can pur- chase the timber looked at, an all summers job is assured. From here these gentlemen went to Pine Bluff where they are ne gotiating for the purchase of a 5000 acre batch of timber, and if the deal is closed they may open another factory there.
 At present the timber is being cut below DeView. MT. Flynn, the manager here, is a hustler and thoroughly understands his business. Most of his time is devoted in looking after the cut ting of the timer. Our friend Bob Smith superintends the loading of the cars.

THE HEADING INDUSTRY.


 All of our citizens know of the fact that under the management of w. H. Flynn, quite a little em- ployment is given our people making and hauling heading, but few, know to what extent the work is actually done and it gives the News pleasure to give a general idea of the business in this issue.
 First of all we will say that MT. Flynn represents the Alfrey Hurley Slave Manufacturing Company, the firm now having five factories in operation, and another one to be opened up at Pine Bluff is being figured on. Those now in operation are sit uated as follows: Two at Jones' boro, one at Poplar Bluff, ore at Memphis, and one at Crawfords- vile, Ind. The latter was for merly owned by F. w. Hurley, who was in our midst the latter part of last week taking a gen eral inventory for the company, and was the part that recently consolidated with the Alfrey stave company.
 Each mill has the capacity of one hundred cord per day.
 While here MT. Hurley made a a survey or tour of the county looking after timber interests. We are informed by our friend Flynn that prospects are bright for the future of this industry here, for there is much good tim Der in our county suitable for heading purposes.
 At present the average num- Der of cords received here is 35. Last week fourteen car loads of heading was shipped from McCrory. The last month ly pay roll for McCrory was $1428. 85 and MT. Flynn says the prospects are that it will run up in the neighborhood of S3,0O0 per month hereafter.
 This means a great deal for McCrory and her citizens, as quite little extra money is put into circulation thereby.
