In an article in Leslie's Weekly
Harry Beardsley thus describes An
drew Carnegie: "A little, smiling
white haired, unaffected in manner,
with nothing whatever imposing in his
bearing, without what is commonly
called a presence, or in expressive
slang, a 'front'-a man SO diminu-
tive that he is conspicuous in con-
tract with other men and women sur
rounding him. He seems so small, so
gentle and modest that you look in
vain in his conduct at that time for
some of the forceful personal traits
which he osses5es-traits which he
has exercised to thrust himself ahead
of those who were in the race with
him."

to this country were kept under lock
and key until last Wednesday, when
they were released by cabled orders
from London and entered for copy

performance last Sunday at st. aul's

His Vision of Torment.

Back in the seventies" said a man
from Arkansas. according to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, Il atts<ded
a negro revival in one of the coun-
ties lying IN the st. Francis basin,
and the church was within stones
throw of the St Francis river, beau
tifuIly clear stream which gurgles out
of the earth somewhere above the sunk
lands, and sweeps along the eastern
edge of Crowley's Ridge. emptying in
to the Mississippi about ten miles
above Helena The spirit of religion
had been stirred up to fever heat, and
the negroes were fearfully wrought UP.
They made the hills ring for miles
around the place where the meeting
was being held. There were many
converts, many men and women VINO
had gone up to the mourners' bench to
be prayed for. The white people OF
the surrounding country would occa-
sionauy go to the church just to watch
the proceedings. hear the strange,
weird music Of the singers and to see
the negroes shout. Negroes are great
shouters in the backwoods, and they
tell the most amusing and marvellous
tales imaginable when they are giving
in their experiences. Mahomets de-
scription of his visit through the seven
upper regions is not a marker In COM
parison. One night a bad negro was
suddenly converted. He told of his eX-
perience with the redeeming spirit At
the end of his miraculous story he was
overcome by his feelingcs and began
to shout, and the shouting wound up
in "a swoon. He was carried out of
the church and laid on the side OF a
hill in a bed of leaves. Leaves were
plentiful, as it was in the fall of the
year, and the negro convert was al
most buried in these dry and fallen
vestments of the trees. The negro did
not remain in his swoon very long.
There was a crowd of misclievous
boys in the neighborhood. One Of
them stuck a match to the dry leaves
and in a short while the negro was
almost enveloped in fame. He came
to, jumped up and made desperate
dash down the side of the hill. He
never knew the cause of the fire, and
the next day he was telling the most
marvellous stories in the world about
the dream he had of going to hell
and he always believed the devil had
something to do with setting the leaves
afre. 1t made a consistent Christian
out of him"

Bishop Burgess of the diocese Of
Long Island is an athletic churchman.
He took part in a game Of baseball
as Islip the other day, during the
course of which he aroused much en-
thusiasm by making two home runs.
All Of the other players, by the way,
were ministers. and it is said that they
roasted" the umpire literally. 1t was
Bishop Burgess who. in the bacca-
laureate address before the seniors of
Columbia College last Sunday made a
plea for the elimination of the mer-
cenary feature from athletics. He
said college sports should be pursued
for sports sake, that the prizes should
consist of honors only. and that the
spectators should be admitted free as
guests of the participants. That would.
indeed, be an ideal plan; but modern
college sports are somewhat costly
and all college men are not wealthy.
1t takes money TO pay for trainers,
apparatus, uniforms and the hun
dred incidentals that are found neces-
sary. If fhe young men give their
time and strength to the games, it
seems no more than fair that those
who witness the contests, and are
amused by them, should do something
towards defraying the expenses.

FOR THE CONTROL OF THE OCEAN.

FOR THE CONTROL OF THE OCEAN.
The combination Of the shipbuilders
of the country which has been effected
under the name of the United States
ship Corporation is the first step in
the movement TO control the carrying
trade of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
with vessels sailing under the Ameri-
can flag.
American shipbCilders have at last
come to believe that they can build
ships as cheaply as they can be built
in either English or German shipyards.
They would not admit this as long as
there was a possibility Of getting
help from Congress in the shape of a
subsidy The ship-subsidy bill was
practically killed by the purchase of
the English steamship lines by the
Morgan syndicate. 1t was admitted,
as soon as that deal was completed,
that there was no chance for the ship
subsidy bill to pass. Indeed, there has
nothing been heard of that bill since
the Morgan . deal was made. Its
friends admit by their silence in re-
gard to it that it will not become the
subject of controversy again. There is
no reason why American shipbuilders
should not build ships for the world
just as American steel manufacturers
are supplying the markets of the world
with steel products and American loco
motive builders are making locomotives
for all nations. American mechanics
have no superiors. Indeed it is a ques-
tion if they have any equals. Nowhere
else is there such a wealth OF labor
saving machinery as is in this coun-
try, and nowhere else can the raw ma
terial needed in the construction Of
ships be obtained in such abundance
and so cheaply. What reason is there
then for doubt of the ability of Amer
lean shipbuilders to compete success
fully with those of England and Ger
many for the shipbuilding business of
the world?
1t is true that American mechanics
and laborers get better wages, but
there is no doubt that they do as much
for the money they receive as either
English or German mechanics and la
borers. That being the case there is
not one reason why this country
should not do the greater part Of the
shipbuilding of the world.
The commercial supremacy Of the
United States is admitted. The first
step has been taken for maritime SUI
premacy. 1t will not be long before
the United States Ship Corporation will
be as alarming to Europe as the United
States Steel Corporation is. though the
former is not a billion dollar corpora
ton as the latter is.

NEEDS OF NEW YoR< CITY

Victor Smith of the New York Press
writes in his paper of a friend in that
city who has made numerous unsuc-
cessful efforts to satisfy his hunger
for cowpeas. the old-fashioned cow
peas of his youth. There are simply
no cowpeas to be had in New York, it
seems. MY grocers here" says Mr..
Smiths friend sent me some pea
beans, as they call 'em, but couldn't
eat the things. Too much like Boston
beans, which l hate. For a whole
month 1 searched in vain the stores
found a merchant who had heard of
cowpeas. So l telegraphed 1000 miles
for a bag of them" Pity the poor
New Yorkersi Never heard of cow
peas! They have a great deal to live
for. We had it from the New York
Commercial not long since that they
knew mighty Independently moth
ing-about sweet potatoes. And now,
upon this potato ignorance comes the
information of a cowpea ignorance
that awakens keenest sympathy, es-
pecially for those poorer people of New
York who can afford to pay only a
few. cents for a meal. The cowpea
is vertically staff of life. It's nutrient
value stands high in the list of food
stuffs. 1t is cheap. very cheap as COM
pared with white beans. 1t is palata-
BILE. One mouthful calls for another.
and one plateful for a second meal
with cowpeas. Cowpeas and rice
cooked into a pillau make dish fit
for any table. A plate of cowpeas. a
square of bacon, a hunk of corn
pone and a baked sweet potato make
a dinner upon which one may split
rails or hammer cobblestones. yet
which may be eaten with relish by
any man with normal digestion. Some
philanthropist ought to start a prop
uganda of eowpeas and sweet potatoes
in New York.

PRINcErON's NEW PRESIDENT.

Princeton University has a warm
place in the hearts of Southern people
not so. much because it is attended by
many Southern youth as because it's
students were largely drawn from the
South prior to the Civil War. 1t is
said that when the war began the num-
Der of Southern students who left
Princeton was so great that 1t was
thought by some of it's friends that it
would have to close its doors for a
while.
And now a Southern man has been
chosen its president Prof. Woodrow
Wilson was born in Stanton, Va, in
1856. practiced law in Atlanta in 1892
and was married to Ellen Louise AK
son of Savannah in June, 1885.
1t is gratifying to hear of the sue
cess of Southern men in whatever part
of the world they may be. and Prof.
Wilson has been very successful. He
made a reputation by his best work,
THE State" that reaches every part
of the country. Besides being a writer
of acknowledged ability on subjects
connected with Jurisprudence and poll
tics, and a teacher that has been hon
ored by Yale and other universities he
has executive ability of a very high
order. 1t was because of his executive
ability that he was chosen president of
Princeton.
There are many Princeton alumni in
this section, and they no doubt rejoice

A Possible Last Chance

Phillips Brooks and Bob" Ingersoll
were friendly enough in their personal
relations, and admired each other i'm
mensely, says the Philadelphia Times
The latter happened to call once when
in Boston, and was told by the preach
er's servant that nobody could be ad-
mitted that day-that the Reverend
Brooks had not five minutes to spare
from work. Ingersoll insisted on the
servant taking back his card, how
ever, and was successful in gaining ad-
mittance.
Now that I'm here, Doctor" he said
when he reached Brooks sanctum, "let
me ask why I'm favored over every
body else, including several clergymen,
who have called to-day?"
well, Colonel" was the quiet reply,
'I'll be sure to meet all the others in
Heaven, if not before; whereas, had
you gone away, and either of us had
died without meeting again, I should
never have seen you. So, L thought it
best TO take no chances"

The medical fraternity must read
with considerable interest the testi-
mony that is being taken in Pittsburg
in behalf of DR.. Browning. who is try
ing to collect a bill from the estate of
the late Senator c. L. Magee. Two
nurses have testified that Senator Ma
gee with his own hand changed some
of the doctors bills from $40 per hour
to $50 per hour for visits, and that they
had heard the Senator say he intended
paying the physician S15O,O00, besides
making an investment for him. II isn't
often that a physician has such a pa
tient. After Senator Magee's death the
administrators of his estate held up
DR.. Browning's bill, claiming 1t was
unreasonable and exorbitant. He is now
seeking to prove that he is asking only
for what his patient intended he should
have.

Something wrong with the shammy

There is a prominent doctor in Ger
rnantown who is busy telling a little
joke on himself, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. 1t appears that he en-
ployed an Irish servant, who had just
arrived from the "culd sod" Starting
out one morning, he noticed his office
windows were rather dirty, and calling
Bridget, he ihstructeAher to clean them
before he returned. At the same time
he told her that he would stop and
purchase a new chamois skin and send
it home After he had gone his rounds,
he returned to his office. CHANGING at
the windows, he found them thickly
streaked with grease. He called Bird
get, and the following colloquy took
place:
Bridget, didn't tell you to clean
the windows?"
Yes, sor.'
"And didn't tell you to use the new
chamois?"
Eyes, sor."
We'll did you use it?"
Sure I did, sor.''
Let me see the chamois," said the
doctor and Bridget promptly brought
it. Then for the first time he learned
that his wife had left the house a half
hour before he did in the morning,
and had sent home some tripe. The doc
tor declines to say what. happened to
the chamoiS skin.

There have been some croakers in
Charleston who predicted that with the
passing Of the exposition there would
come a reaction that would complete
" stagnate the ofd city. 1t looks very
much like the croakers would be disap-
pointed. Charleston has some good
hustlers, and they have been at work
with a will. Now their hustling is be-
ginning to bear fruit. The government
has passed an appropriation of $657 900
for the naval station. The money be-
comes available at once. The city is
going to build system of waterworks
that viii cost $1,000, 900. There are GER
tain requests for the construction Of
public institutions, the funds amount

there is already in sight more than So

senator Perkins Tells a story.

Senator Perkins of California has
been a member of the upper house
of Congress long enough to know bet
ter than to put his trust in senators,
says the Washington correspondence
of the New York Post. So the other
day, when he was going about among
his friends on the committee who have
the dispensing of funds for public
buildings, and praying them to give
San Francisco 81, 500, 900 for new Gus
tom house, he looked trifle dubious,
even when one consented most glibly
Then he told the story of the German
constituent of his who went to all
the directors of a certain bank sepa-
rately and asked for large loan from
the institution. Each man approached
answered that he should be overjoyed,
etc At the next meeting of the
board, sitting as a loan committee,
vote was taken, and the loan project
was bowled down with hardly an af-
firmative When the news was COM
municated to the would-be borrower,
he asked permission to enter the room
and made a very brief speech. 1t was
accorded, and this was all he said:
