NOT ILTOG ETHER MERRY.

The poets sing about the merry
 month of May and it is merry month,
 but the May that has just ended had it's
 serious side. Public Opinion makes a record of some of the things that cast
 shadow over the merriment of the
 month On the first day of May the
 city of Decca in India and the adion-
 ing country were swept by tornado,
 which killed four hundred and sixteen
 people and ruined the crops; week
 later the volcanic eruntions in Marti-
 nique and st. Vincent occurred, in which upwards of thirty thousand peo- pie lost their lives and both islands were lamentably devastated: on the thirteenth twenty three people were kill ed and two hundred wounded by an ex- plosion of naphtha in Pennsylvania; on the next day news was received of the loss of a steamer in the Indian and fifty passengers, of whom nothing has been heard: on the eighteenth a tor nado in Texas killed from fifty to hundred people and did an immense amount of damage to property: on the next day from one hundred and fifty to three hundred persons lost their lives by an explosion in a mine in Tennes- sec on the twentieth a storm and wa terspout killed six people and did over a million dollars worth of damage in Cincinnati and it's neighborhood; three days later floods covered the north- eastern parts of Iowa, causing great destruction; the same day one hundred and thirty-four men were entombed in a mine in British Columbia; on the next day heavy storms did great damage to in the States of Illinois, Ne braska, Missouri, and Kansas.
 This is indeed a sad showing. It is not often that one month includes such a list Of disasters.

 As France has lot of submarine yes sels in her navy she will be encouraged by the fact that a German authority thinks she will probably find them val uable for coast defence, The islands lying along her extensive Atlantic coast, together with the depth of the ocean there, offer excellent hiding places for these craft which would make blockade exceedingly difficult The large harbors and ports of Eng land are also near enough, the writer thinks, to be assailed from this quarter. Submarine boats, skiltully and boldly handled, and sent against an English port immediately on the declaration of war, would probably interfere with the mobilization of the English ships and do great damage. These reasons may justify France in spending considerable sums for the improvement of her sub marine boats. Whether Germany needs them, he says, is another question. The German coasts are hardly accez zsible for submarine vessels on account of the shallow water and the difficulty of en- tering the rivers and bays owing to

There are many refugees from Russia walking the streets of London penniless and homeless. It is thought that this is a direct outcome of the serious riots. The student element is largely repre- sented among the refugees. A gentle- man in London needing some one to do Russian translation advertised in a daily journal and received forty replies. He selected ten, and eight of these were escaped exiles from Siberia, admittedly Anarchists, and with dangerous views. The majority of them sleep where they can, on doorsteps or in railroad sta- tions and earn few shillings now and again by relating in broken English stories of their escape from the Russian polices

The people of New York are so busy that they haven't time to be scared by the remarks of Professor Hamilton Harbert of the University of Pennsyl- vania, who says that New York city is sinking. He further says. There is little left to indicate to the eye the existence of monster volcano at Peekskill, but there is as good reason to believe that Anthony's Nose, Orange Mountain and other trap mountains on the Hudson may again break out as there was in the rejuvenation of Ve- suvius. Once sheep were pastured where Vesuvius' crater now smokes, There is evidence that these ancient volcanoes may soon belch forth again.

Consul Freeman, at Copenhagen, re- ports to the State department that a company has been formed in that city for the construction of trial steamship of new type The inventor is Captain F. c. Ishoy. Tn the new form of steam CT the screw is placed under the bottom instead of aft. The hull is materially changed in form, being flatter, and the ships draft thereby considerably less ened. It is claimed that a saving in consumption of coal of about 20 per cent. will be effected. The inventor be- lieves that with the same amount of fuel the speed will be greatly increased, and that this form of craft will be much Bteadier and more seaworthy.

THE PASSING OF CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.

The so-called Christian Science
cult, which was inaugurated 81 re-
Gently, seems destined to be short
lived; though within its compare
lively brief span of existence it has
gained votaries throughout a wide
domain. Even in this staid old State
there are a number of adherents to
this strange doctrine, and several
deaths, including one published else
where in this issue, are charged up
to its "treatment' in North Caro-
lima.
And SO appalling have been some
recent notorious cases in which pa
tients died without other care than
Christian Science ministrations, that
they have led to an order issued by
Mrs. Mary Baker Ct. Eddy to the
effect "that until the public becomes
better acquainted with Christian
Science, the Scientists shall decline
to doctor infectious or contagious dis
cases." Mrs. Eddy is the ruler or
high priest of the cult known to the
world as Christian Science, and her
order will be obeyed.
There are troubles, however, in
the way inside the fold. The scien-
fists have long said that all disease
is a myth born Of a distemper in the
mind or heart, Or both. If one, they
say, will believe he is not really i'll,
he will not continue to be, for dis
ease is but a mental or moral disor-
der. Mrs. Eddy has, however, dis
tinctly recognized the existence of
infectious and contagious diseases.
Just how this recognition is to be
reconciIed with the basic belief of the
cult, it is not necessary to Inquire;
but true believer endeavors to
put the blame On the community,
for he says "healers" cannot prevent
the spread Of a contagious disease
smallpox, for exampIe-when the
mind Of a community believes it will
spread. This is spreading the blame
very widely. to say the least. It is
shifting the responsibility.
Then, too, where is the line to be
drawn between diseases? If the
germ theory be correct, all diseases
are infectious or contagious, for the
elusive germ may slip from one hui
man frame to another, carrying the
seeds Of disease along. There is no
place where the line can be drawn,
inasmuch as every disease has it's
own germ.
Altogether, the new cult is in a
sea Of trouble, resembling in that re-
|spect those other eminent faith
curers, the Dowieites and Doukho-
horS

He Will Be Tried at Hartford, in
Perquimans County.
Elizabeth City, Nov. 22.-After
four days of careful investigation of
the Wilcox sentiment as it exists in
adjoining counties, Judge Fred
Moore to-day ordered that the trial
be carried to Hartford, Perquimans
county. The judge said: II find the
people of Perquimans opposed to
capital punishment. This will be
in favor of defendant" The opinion
of the prisoners family is adverse to
the removal. They regret having
asked it, knowing that bitter anti
Wilcox feeling now exists in Hert-
ford. There are some who think the
defense has made q grave error.

MONDAY TO BE .DEFINED.

Three buildings of a Louisville cor
poration were burned at about mid
day, and upon these buildings were
Insurance policies amounting to
nearly twenty thousand dollars. The
policies expired at midday of the
April day on which the fire oc-
Cured.
The difference between the stand
ard time established by the railroad
companies and solar time at Louis
vile is seventeen and one-half min
utes. The fire broke out at 11:45
O'Clock, standard time, or two min
utes past noon, solar time. Which
is to govern? The policies are silent
and the courts must say which time
is to be accepted-they must say
when ssnoon'' occurs in Louisville.
Nc doubt the insurance companies
will make this plain in future pol
icies, but under policies heretofore
issued the question is of interest. The
insurance companies claim that il
the railroads can disregard Old Sol,
any one else can, and thus we might
have a variety of t'times," as well a.
hard times now and then. The Ken
lucky courts will primarily decide
the knotty point, and perhaps the
Supreme court of the United States
may be asked to render a decision
that will be authoritative and final.

It is q sad commentary on the re-

the Virginia Conference in retiring a

ages for an education, though an
earnest, jealous worker, having be-
longed to conference six years. No
charges preferred against him
but his lack of education. Acts iv:

ness of Peter and John and per-
ceived that they were unlearned and
ignorant men, they marvelIed," etc.
