This Years Peculiar Calendar.
From the London News.

From the London News
A correspondent sends TO Sheffield paper
the following notes on curiosities of the
calendar for the present year:
The calendar for this year, 1902, has not
been repeated since the year 1884, period
Of sixty-eight years, inasmuch as Easter
Sunday fell on the S0th OF March, and
rules an other movable feasts and festivals
accordingly This will not happen again
until the year 1875, another period of seven
ty-tfree years. so that persons born on any
Of the movable festivals or feasts since
1894 have not had a birthday on such fes-
tiyal or feast until this year. 1902: that is,
a person born on March Is in any year since
1894 has not had birthday on Good Friday
until this year, and 1t may also specially
interest the clergy OF the Church of Eng
land to be reminded that few az any liv-
ing today have ever before conducted the
services of the church in the same order az
they are doing this year.

BOERS KEPT BACK gold.
MR.. KRUGER AND DIR. LEYDS
HOLD s2,5OO,0OO.
The British Government Is Trying
to Locate Boer Gold Bars
Worth $65O,OOO.

Berlin, Nov. 30.-The British gov
ernment is telegraphing to the Ger
man ports making inquiries concern
ing Boer gold bars worth $65O,OOO,
which, it is supposed, have been
brought to this country from South
Africa within the past fortnight. The
bars are destined for former Presi-
dent Kruger and DR.. Leyds, and, it
is presumed, had been concealed in
the northern Transvaal.
Great Britain will endeavor to
legally attach the gold if it can be
located, on the ground that she is en-
titled to all the assets of the Trans
vaal, because she has assumed re-
sponsibility for the debts of that
country, including the bonds issued
prior to the war.
General Botha's reply to Colonial
Secretary Chamberlin that the late
Boer government had no assets was
strictly true, as far as he knew, but
since receiving Mr.. Chamberlain's
letter General Botha learned, accord
ing to seemingly trustworthy infor-
nation here, that Mr.. Kruger and
DR.. Leyds have in their possession
$2,500,000. General Botha requested
them to turn over this gold for the
benefit of the Boer people, but DR..
Leyds refused, averring that the
money was to be used IN upholGing
the Boer nationality in the future.
General Botha has notified DR.. Leyds
that unless the gold is given up legal
proceedings will be instituted against
him.

SOUTHERNERS IN NEW YORK

A. K. Fallows discusses in the
New York Evening Post "The
Southern Invasion0 of New York,
showing that the Southerner there
has eclipsed in untiring energy the
most strenuous efforts of the North
erner. cit is" says Mr.. Fallows,
Gas if the unexhausted strength of
| leisurely foregoing generations, coiled
within him like a spring, was re-
leased against the task in hand with
an overwhelming impact" The
Southerners carry off all the prizes
they seek. It is not luck. It is not
"pul1." cit isl says Mr.. Fallows,
''the flavor of originality that goes
into the daring that compels success
that puts so many Southern men in
the high places of New York;
Mr.. Fallows proceeds to mention
the Southern men who have become
in New York railroad and bank
presidents, together with their ac-
Movements at the bar, in the pulpit,
and on the bench. In the recent
Molineux trial two3 Southern born
lawyers were pitted against each
Other-GeOrge Gordon Battle and
James w. Osborne. The president
of the biggest New York railroad,
the New York Central, is South
ern man, and the president of the
biggest bank, the City, came from
the South. -Four Southern-b born men
are on the bench, and the successful
Southern lawyers il New York are
absolutely too numerous to mention.
Among the surgeons are Dr.sJ John
A. Wyeth, an Albanian, and DR..
Virgil P. Gibney, and DR.. Polk,
and DIR. Walter B. james, of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons.
The rector of ST. Bartholomew is
a Southerner, and SO are Two Of the
clergymen of Trinity church. In
short, says Mr.. FalIows, if q cyclone
''should sweep every Southerner out
Of the city society would have to
drape itself in crepe and business go

But the movement Northward of
young Southern men hes been
checked. "In recent years, says the
Baltimore Sun, "with the upbuild-
ing of mining and manufacturing
industries, it is no longer necessary
for the sons of the South, as they
reach manhood, to emIgrate III order

remained in the cotton states have

ton and a development which are

Washington, Dec. 2.-Congress

the Senate and House was in his
seat. The visitors galleries were

Both Houses adjourned within
thirty minutes after opening out OF

a bill in the House this morning ap-
propriating $4,000 to pay the ex-

"Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer"

your house SO often, and you don't
have to use so much paint. Costs
less for the job, and you don't have
to do the job so often.
The new paint is not new at all.

makes it is 149 years old.

A FITTING SUGGESTION.
These Noble Spirits Could Not Be
Too Highly Honored.

DEAR ARGUS: :-Your article in
last weeks ARGUS concerning Col.
and Mrs. Ezekiel Slocumo, brings to
mind the fact that these two patriots
of the revolution deserve a nice mon
ment to mark their last resting place,
and I believe that voice the senti-
ment Of every iberty-loving citizen
of Wayne county, when [ say there
bring about the means to erect a
monument over these two people
who did much for their country in
those trying days. [ am now living
on the old Slocumb plantation, and
within a few steps Of these discarded
graves, which are marked only by
mulberry tree standing on the grave
of Mrs. Slocumb. Their appearance
is disgrace to the State and an eye
sore TO every man or woman who
loves liberty.
The people Of this community are
anxious to see a monument here en-
closed with an iron fence, and we
hope their relatives in Goldsboro will
become interested in the matter and
go to work to get the monument.
I believe that Congress would ap-
propriate money for this purpose,
but if we can't get it from Congress
let us raise it by private subscription;
there are great many people in this
community that would contribute
| literally for this purpose.
"Let us do honor to whom honor
| is due.''
Yours fraternally,

WHEREFORE? j?
MARY BAKER G.. EDDY.
published by Request.)


Our faithful laborers in the field of
Science have been told, through the
alert editor-in-chief of the Christian
Science Sentinel and Journal, that
'sMrs. Eddy advises, until the pub
lie thought becomes better acquain-
ted with Christian Science, that
Christian Scientists decline to doctor
infectious or contagious diseases"
The great Master said, "For which
of these works do ye stone me?" He
said this to satisfy himself whereof
he spake as Gods representative
as one who never weakened in his
own personal sense Of righteousness
because of another's wickedness, or
the minifying of his own goodness.
Charity is quite as rare as wisdom,
but when it does appear it is known
by its patience and endurance.
When, under the protection of
State or United States laws, good cit
liens are arrested for manslaughter
because one out Of three of their pa
tients, having the same disease and
in the same family, dies while
the others recover, we naturally turn
to Divine justice for support, and
wait on God. Christian Scientists
should be influenced by their own
judgment in the taking Of case of
malignant disease, they should con-
slider well as to their ability to cope
with the case-and not overlook the
| fact that there are those lying in
wait to catch them in their sayings;
neither should they forget that, in
their practice, whether successful or
not, they are not specially protected
by law. The above quotation stands
for this: Inherent justice, constitu-
tional individual rights, SeLfpreSer-
| walton, and the gospel injunction,
| "Cast not your pearls before swine,
lest they tranple them under foot
| and turn again and rend YOU"
And it stands side by side with
| Christ's command, "Whosoever shall
| smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
! 10 him the other a;-n," I abide by
this rule, and triumph by it. The
sinner may sneer at this beatitude,
| for "the fool hath said in his heart,
No God" It is known that thegood
young student, MIR. Lathrop, after he
| was prosecuted lor praCticing Chris
tian Science, finished healing the
cases of diphtheria that he had on
hand. Statistics show that this Sci
ence cures a larger per cent. of ma
lignant diseases than does Hlateria
| medica.
l call disease By its name, and have
cured it thus; there is nothing new
| on this score. My book "Science and
! Health" names disease, and thousands
| are healed by reading its name and
learning that so-called disease is a
sensation Of mind, not matter. Evil
minds signally blunder in Divine
| Metaphysics: hence [ am always say
| ing the unexpected to them. The
| evil mind calls it F'skulking," when
| to me it is wisdom to "Overcome evil
| with good" I fail to know how one
can be Christian, and vet depart
| from Christ's teachings.
