looking green and beautiful.

acquisition to our circle of friends.
Miss Bidwell and her sister, Mrs.
Carter, will soon leave for their
home in Connecticut Miss Bid

dwellings.

WANTS q Summer Resort.

Mr.. w. G. Norton the popular pro-
prietOr of Grove Hall has been in
Hendersonville, N. G., during the
past week making arrangements for
leasing a suitable hotelSin that city
or near it, which he will conduct as
a summer resort.
Mr.. Norton has established an en-
viable reputation and is assured a
succession of successful winter sea-
sons in the management of Grove
Hall. Each winter has but added to
the popularity of that house. But
the long summer season leaves him
with little to do here and he has
wanted to secure a house for this
dull season. Hendersonville is a
popular resort in the mountain dis
trict of North Carolina, and if Mr..
Norton succeeds in securing the
right sort of Il hotel there he will do
his part in giving it a reputation.
1t is understood that in case Mr..
Norton secures a hotel at Hender-
sOnville he will not close Grove Hall,
but will put it in charge of some
competent person to run through the
summer season.

IS THERE AN AGE
 LIMIT FOR WORKERS?

The comple int of an age limit under which the young secure monopoly of employment is not peculiar in organiza- tions like the Federation of Labor. It is heard in every line of business, in the newspaper offices, in politics.
 The vigor and activity of a youth are said to be grossly overestimated against the experience of age. It is charged that youth often wins in the competition because, having fewer re. sponsibilities, it is content with small Ter pay. The boy makes present sac- rifice expecting that he will reap his reward in the future. The man is done with sacrifices, and thinks it is time that the reward was forthcoming.
 Conditions are such that the com plaint is by no means surprising, but it was hardly helpful suggestion at the Federation meeting in Chicago men over 45 should be shot, land it is certainly impossible to compell the employment of men beyond that age. LAborers of all sorts will have to con- tinue in the inexorable struggle for bread as the economic forces about them may determine.
 II, however, there is an arbitrary age limit it is irrational. As may raise a presumption one way or the other, but it can never determine the value of the individual. One man at 45 may be active, energetic, progressive, in- terested in his work and in the life about him. Another at 9 may be in active, and lack both energy and in- terest. One man may be really young at 45 and another old at 25.
 Intelligence may increase with age, or, laying aside the question of mental growth, this person may have both years and intelligence and that person may lack both years and dintelligence.
 Limit or no limit. the individual factor can hardly be left out of con- sideration, and, of course. 1t will not be when the individual superiority is marked. The persons who suffer the most cruelty and with the greatest seeming injustice are thoee who, be- ing competent but no more than com. potent, are obliged to give way in the contest. But it is great deal easier

Russia Charees China Nine Times What She Lost.

Great Britain's determination to fol- low the example of the United States and remit part of her indemnity claims against China invites attention anew to the wholly immoral and unjust prin- ciple upon which the collective de- mand for an indemnity was made.
 Private claims, it is khown,. were settled to very large extent by the operations of foreign citizens who were supported by the diplomatic and mili- tary authorities. American mission aires took a prominent part in the work, so did the representatives of the French church in China, and. general ly speaking, a very thorough effort was made and pretty successfully car ried out to balance the account between Christian residents and the societies which they represented and the Box CTS.
 The actual losses of the intervening governments by the destruction of property was inconsiderable. It is said that the market value of Italy's legation, for whose reconstruction the Italian government asked the sum of s400, ,0O0, was s25, ,0O0. A few hundred thousand dollars would probably cover all the just claims of the powers on such accounts as this.
 There remains to be discussed the cost of the military expeditions. It was stated at the time when the reduction of the American demand was announc- ed that the military and naval expen- ditures of this country were less than s5,0O0,0oO In his recent report on the Russian budget for 1902 NJ. White, the czar's minister of finance, refers back to the sum of ls,60O, 900 roubles which Is described as the amount oi the military expenditures of Russia on account of the events in the far East It is less than s10,OO0,000 American money, but the Russian claim against China was something like $90,000, 900.
 Probably the total claims were seven or eight times as great as the military costs and government losses, coming as they did to about S334, 900, 00e in gold. Now, it has been a mystery all along how the interest of 19 million taels tabout IA million dollars on this new indebtedness was to be paid. The revenues explicitly set aside for the purpose are insufficient. and, further more, all the proposed additions to them are met with weighty objections. Then, too, China finds increasing diffi- culty in the problem because since the protocol was signed there has been a decline in the value of silver. which it is calculated will increase the iiabili- ties of the empire about 10 per cent.
 Under the circumstances, can there be any doubts as to the course which the powers should pursue: Manifest Iy the debt should be scaled down by each one of the creditor nations. since the punitive object of the excessive de- mand has already been accomplished in punitive expeditions and in the loot ing, which spared neither princes nor people.
