The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-01-19

Whether the publishers are imbued
with the turn over a-newleaf idea of
New Years or not is a serious question
Perhaps many of them recall the days
of their youth and remember how the
first few weeks of January were given up
to prayer. fasting, penitence and revivals
on the part of the churches. At any rate
curiously enough, the opening days of
every year record more theological or
serious books than any other season.
This year we are having a new Life of
Christ" Through Science to Faith"
What is Shakespeare" "a Critical Study
OF the Origin, Purport and Historical
Interpretation of the Apostles Creed"
THE Place of Death in Evolution" and
many other volumes of this class Is
the fact of such publications due to the
impulses of the publishers or is it only
shrewd forecast of the public's New
Years outlook on life?

The experience of Richard Harding
Davis few days ago at the hands of
dog fancier who only recognized the
author as the husband of the woman
who owned a fine bull pup recalls
story of a vain author who was accus-
toned TO take luncheon at a certain
table at certain hotel in New York
One day when the head waiter was not
on guard for the moment three Chicago
newspaper men strolled into the hotel
and CHANGED to take the particularly re-
served table. They were nearly through
when in came the author accompanied by
two friends Three tall figures bore
down on the innocent Chicago men and
one began:
Pardon me, gentlemen but this table
is always reserved for me. Will you be
good enough to remove to another?''
One of the three seated arose and re-
piled that. since they were in a public
hotel and had taken the table. they could
not leave until they were quite through.
Pardon me, SIR returned the author,
you perhaps do not know who we are.

Millions For New York Poor.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Being far ad-
vanced in years and having no immedi-
ate relatives to whom to bequeath his
vast fortune, Mr.. John NJ. Burke, n
wealthy retired merchant and railroad
director of this city, has conveyed to
a corporation real and personal prop
erty to the amount of $4OO0,O0O for
the purpose of founding convalescent
home in or near the borough of Man

dedicate in his lifetime substantial
part of his estate to the relief Of

standing their willingness to support
themselves, have become wholly or
partly unable to do so.

More haste; less speed" and "hasten
slowly" are proverbs born of experience
that some things can't be hurried without
loss and waste. That is specially true of
eating. The railway lunch habit, 'sfive
minutes for refreshments" is habit most
disastrous to the health You may hurry
your eating. You can't hurry your digestion,
and the neg ect to allow proper time for this
important function is the beginning of
sorrows to many busy man. When the
tongue is foul, the head aches, when there
are sour or bitter risings, undue fullres after
eating, hot flushes, irritability, nervousness,
irresolution, cold extremities, and other
annoying symptoms, be sure the stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition have
broken down" Nothing will re.establish
them in active healthy operation so quickly

NO BRIBERY.
Christmas Statement Regarding the
Danish Island Sale Disproved.

WASHINGTON, w July 2.-Chairman
Dalzell of the special committee of the
house of representatives which inves-
tigated the charges in connection with
the purchase of the Danish West India
islands has submitted the report of
that committee. After detailing the
charges of bribery and showing that
Captain Christmas had repudiatcd the
alleged report OH which the charges
were based the committee sums up the
results of its investigation as follows
There Is not the slightest semblance
of evidence that any member of CON
gress, either directly or indirectly, was
offered or has received any bribe or
was paid any valuable consideration
of any kind or character to vote for
or assist in procuring the proposal,
adoption or ratification of treaty of
sale of the Danish West Indian is
lands TO the United States. There is
not the remotest ground from which to
draw an inference or on which to base
conclusion that there was any cor
ruption or wrongdoing on the part of
the public officials of the United States
in connection with the negotiations for
the purchase and sale of the Danish
West Indian islands.
1T is plain beyond peradventure that
the bribery alleged in the report could
have existed nowhere save in the i'm
agination of Christmas, since the
whole burden of his story is that he
had no money. 1t is in evidence that
he had to borrow in order to pay his
passage home from this country"

GRAND REVIEW OF COLONIAL TROOPS.
Queen Alexandra Attends the Pa

LONDON, July 2.-The steady prog

tained, and his majesty takes light
nourishment with keen enjoyment. He

evinced the greatest interest in the ar
rangements for yesterdays review of
the colonial troops, and he was eager
that "his people" should be i'm some
way compensated for their disappont-
Tho coronation.
The king received Queen Alexandra s
report of the review with much pleas
ure, and he was immensely pleased
later in the day when the sounds of the
cheers from the Indian troops, given
for the queen as they marched past the
palace, penetrated the sickroom.
The kings grandchildren are allowed
a brief visit daily to his bedside, while
n scarcely less welcome and even more
enthusiastic visitor to his majesty is
his pet Irish terrier, Jack, which is al
lowed in the kings room a short time
every afternoon.
Yesterdays review of the colonial
and Indian troops at the Horse guards
parade was the first recompense Lon
don had for the deferred pageantry of
the coronation. The military spectacle
was brilliant in the extreme, and popu-
lar enthusiasm found proper vent when
the queen appeared in person riding in
the first carriage in the royal process
sion nt thp nn t,n do ornnudc
The temperance of Queen Alexan-
dra as a participant in this public cere-
mony practically marks the end of the
period of anxiety caused by King Ed
wards illness.
The queen was seated in an open car
riage. Beside her was the Princess of
Wales, and opposite her majesty were
the Princess Victoria and Princess
Charles of Denmark.
Among the interesting onlookers was
Prince Eddy and the other children of
the Prince and Princess of Wales. All
the colonial premiers, Indian princes
and other guests of the nation were
present.
The troops quickly marched past the
queens carriage, the Prince of Wales
receiving the salute. The queen then
drove slowly in and out of the lines
and the Prince of Wales closely in
spected the troops and dismounted and
conferred medals and crosses on those
who had merited the honor, shaking
hands with the recipients of the Vic
toria cross.
