MIR. Kitchell on Mr.. Morgan.

Mr.. Mitchell's expression of good
will to Mr.. Morgan is in altogether a
different spirit from that part of his
letter to President Roosevelt rejecting
upon the motives of the coal operators
That letter showed such deep personal.
feeling that it is surprising now to
find him speaking so we'll of the man
supposed by very many people to be
the head of a great conspiracy of cap
ital against labor. Mr.. Mitchell, how
ever, is in position to be informed
as to the facts, and when be says Mr..
Morgan has been anxious for two
months to have the strike settled,
more on humane than on financial con-
siderations, he must speak from in
formation. 1t quite accords with what
We know Of Mr.. Morgan's unosteata
tious but extensive charities which
show that the millionaire has never
lost touch of the common claims of
humanity in spite Of his vast ac-
emulation of wealth. Furthermore,
Mr.. Morgan has never stopped to dis
honest methods of business. The worst
that can be said OF him is that he has
been builder up of great t,corpora-
tious, too great, most people think,
for the safety of the country.
In other, words, Mr.. Morgan has
taken advantage of the consolidation
movement and placed himself at its
head, though he did not begin it. ssHe
has unequaled Judgment as to fnan-
cial, commercial and industrial deyel-
opments, but he is not a creator of
them like Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr..
Hill. What Mr.. Mitchell has done
in the unifcation of the mine work
ers is as great IA task, z comparatively,
as Mr.. Morgan has effected in his rail-
road, steel and shipping combinations.
The labor organizer has recognized a
similar spirit in different but closely
related field, for Mr. Mitchell is
doubtless, too sensible not to re-
cognize that capital and labor are not
natural enemies. Capital, according to
political economists, is simply stored
upNlabor accumulated in the begin
ming by men who have had self-denial
enough not to spend all the products
of their toll. Without it there could
be no labor not Immediately pro-
ductiye, for the workingman must
have subsistence while engaged in such
occupations as mining, whose products
require time before they pass into the
hands of the consumer. The difficulty
is to adjust the part that labor and
capital should take of the products of
labor. Capital will not be used unless
at profit, for otherwise the capitalist
would have no motive for his invest
ment in such great enterprises as the
anthracite mines. ltshould not take too
large q part, and this is the point that
Mr., Roosevelt's commission must
determine.
Mr.. Mitchell, probably recognizing
this, is willing to say of Mr.. Morgan
what he would not say of the operat-
ors, that he is not essentially selfish.
Certainly a mutual understanding of
each other will aid powerfully in ar
irving at solution of the problems in
which all labor and all capital are in
terested. -Courier-Journal.

LEARNED IT FROM HIS WIFE.
How an Englishnan Knew Bishop
Kelley Was Joking.

Bishop Benjamin J. Kelley, who
spent some days in London, both
going to and returning from Rome,
SAYS the Savannah Morning News, has
brought back with him to Savannah
story that the bishop says illustrates
the typical Britisher's perception of
joke.
He has a nephew in the British
army, who entertained Bishop Kelley
while he was in London at the service
club to which he belonged. Sitting
in the club reading room with a party
of men, officers and civilians as well,
when the Irish spirit of mischief,
bubbling out from between the warp
woof of his cloth, induced the bishop
to say:
"By the way, perhaps one of you
gentlemen can settle question that
has often tronoled my curiosity. Is it
possible to make butter of goats
milk?''
The Englishmen around the table
stared at the Bishop with well-bred
amazement, somewhat startled, SEEM
ingly, that a clergyman should be
really curious on such a subject.
None Of them ventured, however, to
answer the question.
"I don't know, I'm sure," said one
of them, "but I'll aswk nay wife,
"Oh, don't trouble yourself" said
the bishop. It was mere idle curiosity
on my part. But as the party broke
up and started towards the door the
bishop nudged his obliging acquain-
tance's elbow and murmured: 81
should think you could, you know,
because goats good butter"
"Hah,'' said the Englishman, with
bland and perfect uncomprehension-
and the bishop went on his way in
Rome.
Some weeks later he returned to
London and to the same club where
assembled in the course Of time much
the same party. He Of the obligiag
disposition button-holed the bishop on
the spot
s'I say he said: you remember
you awsked me if goats milk would
produce butter"
"Yes,'' said the bishop.
"Well, 1 awsked my wife and she
said it would make very good butter
indeed. y
"Ah," said the bishop.
"And l say" continued the Eng
lishman with constantly rising in
fection, you remember you said you
thought it could, because the goat is
good butter,
aYes,'' said the bishop, possibly in
some trepidation o. spirit.
"Well, my wife. says" SAID the
Englishman, "that that was a joke. !"
Whereupon the right reverend bishop
of Savannah, unable longer to cogSSin
bis mirth, turned and fed. n

CARNEGIE POINTS way TO PEACE.
He Urges Formation United States
of Europe to Eliminate Neces-
sIty For Armament.

St. Andrews, Scotland, Oct. 22.-
Andrew Carnegie was today formally
reinstated as rector Of st. Andrews
university, in the presence Of large
and brilliant assemblage, over which
Principal Donaldson presided.
Mr.. Carnegie's rectorial address con-
sisted of lengthy study of the COM
parative growth of nations in the paths
of industrial ascendancy, with a strik-
ing commentary on their future. In
his speech, which was replete with
notable statistics and important
economic prophecies, perhaps the most
remarkable feature was an appeal to
Emperor William to use his influence
toward the eventual creation of the
United States Of Europe, under the
form of a political and industrial
union. In this way alone, Mr.. Car
negie declared, can Europe conquer
the foreign markets or repel the
American invasion. France, Germany
and Russia, who had already taken
joint action against Japan, would
suffice to ensure as satifsctory union in
Europe.
"The czar,'' he continued, "having
taken the first step toward the peace
of the world in The Hague confer
ence, the other mighty emperor might
some day be impressed with the
thought that it is due to himself and
to Germany to play great part upon
the wider stage of Europe, as her de-
liverer from the incubus which op-
presses and weakens her the appalling,
paralyzing fear of war and ruin be-
tween members Of her own body"
n Dealing with the events which caus-
ed the Industrial supremacy "once
yours but nov passed to your lineal
descendants, who bears the industrial
CROWN" Mr.. Carnegie maintained that
it was physical impossibility for
Great Britain to produce material
things rivalIing in amount those of
countries the size of EAmerica, Ger
many and Russia, nor would union
of the empire change the situation,
for neither Canada nor Australia
gave promise of much increase in
population or industrialism. All
thought of material ascendancy even
with the British empire united must
therefore be abandoned.
Mr.. Carnegie spared his Scotch
audience no details. America, he
said, 'now makes more steel than all
the rest of the world. In iron and
coal her production is greatest and it
is also so in textiles. She produces
three quarters of the worlds cotton.
The value of her manufacturers is
about triple that Of your own. Her
exports are greater and the clearing
house exchanges at New York are al
most double those of London.
The speaker also said now there is a
threat to oust Great Britain even from
second place.
"There is no escape" said Mr. Car
negie, from the influence of magni-
tude which gathers as it rolls and must
finally conquer

Oliver Wendell Holmes, the Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, will not take his seat fon the
bench until his nomination shall have
been sent to the Senate and confirmed
by that body, This is in consonance
with custom which has prevailed
since 1895. In that year John Rut-

and sat in Court at the August term
that same year. In December the
Senate rejected his nomination. Oliver

were in the building and all we're
working on the seventh floor. The
flames spread so rapidly that man
who was working on the third floor
had barely time to escape with his life
and it is not thought by the employees
of the concern or by the fremen that
the men in the upper story could have
avoided death. At midnight two
bodies have been taken from the ruins,
but the fire was burning so rapidly

GEN. JONES RESTRAINED
BY G. WALT WHITMAN.
Also D. C. Hayward Held Back
From the Governorship---But
DR.. Babcock is Foot-Loose.
Special to The State.

Union, Oct. 22.-G. Walt Whitman
has brought action for an Injunction
against Col. Willie Jones, chairman of
the State Democratic committee, re-
straining them from putting the name
of Hon. D. G. Heyward on the ticket
for governor. He has also fled an in
junction against the Hon. D. G. Hey
ward himself restraining him from
running in the general election in
November as candidate of the Demo
cratic party under the guise of the
Democratic nominee.
The matter was brought up before
Judge Buchanan while he was here
at court which has just closed.
Mr.. Whitman says in his petition
that he fled his pledge within the
prescribed time by and according to
the rules and regulations Of the Demo
cratic party in this State. The pro-
ceedings are supported by the
afidayits Of S. G. DePass, who was
then in his brothers. law Office, but
is now a student in the South Caro-
lima college.
Further in the petition he says he
has never been candidate in the true
meaning Of the word, "bnt that he is
not ayerse to filing the Office of COVER
nor if elected on the platform of broad
and liberal ideas of education.
He says he has exhausted all the
rights and remedies by appeal to the
State executive committee. He now
thinks all the candidates for governor
ought to be allowed to run on their
own merits in the general election and
let the people decide who they want
to be governor.
The proceedings before Judge.Buch-
auan we're based on a number of
a6fdavits, sworn to before W. w. Dix
on, United States Commissioner. The
afidavits were those of DR.. j. G.. Go
ing, Col. James Munro, DR.. Wallace
Culp and Capt. Jas. E. Hunter.
Most Of the afidavits were to the
effect that they knew Mr.. Whitman to
be of age, and qualified elector, that
his Democracy is above par when COM
pared with other members Of the gen.
eral assembly of the State. They say
they know that Mr.. Whitman is
anxious to be governor. Mentally and
physically, they know he is able to
run for governor and that he will do
SO, and may make a good executive
officer.
Then Capt. Jas. E. Hunter says
that Mr.. Whitnan's pledge was fled,
in writing It was written on postal
card and was mailed by S. G. DePass.
Judge Buchanan after hearing oral
arguments from all the Union bar On
the case reversed his decision.
1t is said that Mr.. Whitman has car
ried it to Greenville before Judge
Brawley.

The Sinful Brother.

manner which sometimes Jared little

"Well, the people are religious.
That's what makes me think so.''
"What do you call religious? Do

"Some of them do and some do
not.''
"Do you mean to say that man
may be a Christian, and not hold

eyes, sir; think So.
"Do you hold family prayer?"
"Yes, sir'' returned the brother,
quietly.
"And yet you think man may be
Christian and not hold family
prayer?''
"I have a brother who is a better
man than I am who does not hold
family prayer. -
"What makes you think he is a
better man than you are?''
Everybody says so, and know he
is
"Why does not your brother, if be
is such good man, hold family pray

The Seasons ostrich Plume.

Never were ostrich feathers more
fashionable, but they must be Of the
finest quality and quite immense as
to size; picked specimens of these
feathers measure twenty to twenty
five inches in length. and are so treated
that they seem to fluff out in the pret-
test way at the tips. 1t Is fashionable
to mix black and white feathers to-
gether. and a new way of arranging
them Is to bring them round from the
back of the hat, with the tips meeting
in front. The ribs are laid back against
the crown, causing the feathers to
stand out like ruche all around. but
this method does away with the nat
ural dropping grace which is the great
charm of an ostrich plume. One of
the prettiest hats seen this season con-
sists of the marquise shape in white
tulle, entirely covered with rows of
slightly fulled Valeneiennes lace, all
over the crown and brim, with no trim
ming but knotted bow OF black vel
vet catching up the back, held by a
buckle of old gold tiligree work. These
tricorne hats in soft white tulle, or
covered with pompon roses, seem to
possess ever fresh allurements, not one
of the least being that they do not
become commOn.-New York CONNER

Its success, 1t Is always mistake TO
adorn oneself with a variety of cOlors.
All the great stylists IN dress love the
mixing of colOrs, but they blend them
to form harmonious whole. 1t Is
foolish to attempt to mix cheap fabrics,
flowers or what you will for the simple
reason that everything Of cheap man
ufacture takes crude, hard dyes, and
the glorious tones found in such fabrics
as crepe de chine canmever be matched
in inferior materials. The only thing
that proves the exception to the rule
Is the liberty velveteen, which is ex-
tremely inexpensive and is produced in
every possible art shade.
Velyeteen corded blOuses in brown
and gray are perfectly charming for
cool days in the country with cloth
skirt Of the same color This fabric
also makes admirable little sack coats
to wear over flannel or delalne blouses.
Delaine, by the way, is one of the
most useful and charming fabrics for
warm shirts. 1t washes without
shrinking and is made In a variety of
dainty colors and pretty patterns. 1t
Is also surprisingly cheap, and makes
an excellent substitute for flannel.

The Tell-Tale Eyebrows.

The latest fad in character reading
Is the Interpretation of the eyebrows.
Here are the chief points, given by an
experienced observer:
Eyebrows that are arched show the
possessor to be naughty and high-spir-
ited with large idea of his own abil-
tiles and merits.
If the eyebrows are thick and well
defined, without any business, the
man has many virtues and good intel
llgence, but not great originality or
ambition.
Short and thick eyebrows denote a
pleasant disposition, and excellent
memory. Short, light brOws show the
person to be timid and easily imposed
upon.
If a mans eyebrows are thin and
black he is naturally cautious but per-
severing and able to carry out his un'
dertakings. gs.-American Queen.
