ever what fortunate chance for the
monarchy was that which led to his
appointment to his present position
Dr. Won Koerber, government official
of some Importance, suddenly was
summoned by the emperor to become
prime minister. Few people, even in
Austria, had heard of him. His oppor-
tunity came through the failure of sew
eral cabinets to carry on affairs in the
face of obstruction in the reichsrath,
so that the emperor thought it desir-
able to call neutral premier to as
sumo the reins of power. The bureau
crat proved to be a more enlightened
minister than either of his predeces-
sors, and the emperor found it desir-
able to retain him. DR.. Won K GERBER
has shown wonderful cleverness in
keeping the extreme parties in check
and in transacting the business of the
state in spite of their efforts to pro-
duce a continues deadlock. DR.. Won
Koerber is a bachelor and lives with
his aged widowed mother in modest

FORTY BI G AIRSHIPS.
All VIII Take Part II the Coming
Races at Paris. ..s &
Contests to BE Presided over by San
tos-Dumont - All Working. for
the Solution Of secret OF
Avian Flight. ~

The airship races which are to take
place in Paris during the coming sum-
mer will mark an epoch in dirigible
balloon building. The most famous
aeronauts in the world, headed by San
tos-Dumont, will gather together in
the French capital and there engage
in series of interesting test matches
to decide which among their number
has come nearest to correct solution
of the secrets of 4vian fight. Santos
Dumont will launch three new vessels,
any one of which, he is convinced, will
prove dangerous rival to those of
Tour, the Lebaudys,- the Spencers and
other wellknown aeronauts.
By general desire NJ. Santos-Dumont
is to be the president of these'airship
races, and he is taking an infnitude of
trouble to insure their perfect sue
cess. His airship station, the first; of
the kind, is now we'll forward in con-
struction, and when completed will be
one of the most interesting buildings
in the world. The huge barn, as he
calls it, is divided into seven sections,
or stalls, each capable of housing the
biggest airship ever built.
Three of these sections will be &C.
cupied by NJ. Santos-Dumont's own YES
sells, but the remaining four will be at
the service of any fellow aeronaut who
desires temporary accommodation for
his ship. Each section will be fur
nished with double doors opening out
ward, and the method which the in
ventor intends to adopt in releasing
the airship is novel and ingenious,
Running out from each "stall" will be
a single line of rails, some 200 yards
long, bearing q substantially built
truck. From the stern and bows of
the airship strong ropes will connect

that simply goads the other side into
delirium.
When not smiling, however, Mr..
Payne is one of the most solemn look
ing men in the house. He is a large
man, with large head, literally, not
figuratively. He wears No. hat.
His girth can only be guessed at, it
being a secret of his tailor.
He has slight defect in his hear
ing, and this has led to a story being
told of him, the authorship of which
was attributed to ex-Speaker Reed,
though the latter never admitted
it.
1t is said that~Mr. Payne was at
tending large dinner on one occasion
where the guests were not well &C.
quainted with each other, and the host
was practically unknown to the
guests. Mr.. Payne sat in solemn form
away down the table, and his sedate
appearance suggested to the host that
he might be clergyman, and it would
be proper to call on him to say a
grace. Looking toward him, the host
bowed and said: sWill you kindly
oblige us by saying grace?'

piled: II presume you are addressing

No Strength In Stimulant.

The idea that alcohol or any other
sti1nulant can ever impart strength
must be abandoned, says a writer in
The Hospital. A stimulant has a GER
tain effect on the circulation, and this
may enable the person who takes +
to exert more strength Temporarily:
but the energy that he uses comes not
from the stimulant, but from his own
blood and tissue. A similar mistake
is made with the administration Of a
stimulant to relieve feeling of de-
preston or sinking. An injurious re-
action always follows. Alcohol is
harmful also in diseases of the kidneys
or of the liver, but it seems to be good
for diseases of the luags, and it's ef-
feet on appetite and digestion NAV he
good when properly employed. When
''stimulants" put one to sleep and
quiet agitation, they are doing good:
when, on the contrary, they raise the
pulae-rate, and cause excitement and
wakefulness, they are doing harm.

MONEY TN TREASURY Z.
Every Dollar in Gold and Currency
Now Being Counted.
Treasurer Roberts Has Corps of Ex-
pert Women Goins over the Vast
Resources in Uncle Sans
Vaults,

Twenty expert women, assisted by
1z men, are counting every dollar in
gold and currency and every bond in
Tie United States treasury. They are
under the watchful eyes of commit
tee of three heads of divisions appoint
ed by Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts.
Ordinarily an actual count of the
money and bonds in the treasury is
made only when new treasurer is APP
pointed. The contents of the govern
ment vaults have not been counted
since Mr.. Roberts took office six years
ago and it would not. now be done had
it not been for the post Office scandal.
Mr.. Roberts decided to see whether or
not there has been any crookedness in
his department. 1T will be supreme

man.
He believes every dollar that should
be in the vaults will he found there. If
shortage be found the responsible
person will quickly be detected, for so
we'll does the government guard it's
finances that every dollar can be
traced from the time it is printed until
it goes out into circulation and from
the time it is returned to the treasury
for redemption until it is destroyed.
The books show that there is now in
the treasury cash and bonds to the
value of about $1,oSo,00 900. OF this
amount $150,000,00O is silver dollars
and these probably will not be count
ed. It took six months to go over
them when they were last counted and
Mr.. Roberts will be content with a
physical count of the silver vaults. He
goes on the theory that no one would
go to the trouble of carrying off silver
with plenty of gold and currency in
sight that could just as we'll be taken.

Raleigh & CASTOR and the Raleigh
& Augusta railroads. In April, 1885,
he was appointed by Gov. Scales to
the superior court bench, and was
later elected by the people. In 1889
he was appointed to the supreme
court bench to fill vacancy, and was
elected the following year, leading the
ticket. In 1894 he was unanimously re-
elected, having been nominated by the
democratic convention and Endorsed
by the populist and republican con-
ventions. He was the only democratic
state official elected in North Carolina
that year.
Last June he was practically unani-
mously nominated by the democratic
convention for chief justice and de-
feated his opponent, Judge T. N. Hill,
an independent emocrat; Endorsed by
the republican convention, by over co.
900 majority in the November election.
Judge Clark is an indefatigable
writer and student. He has been
frequent contributor to- Harper's
Magazine, the Arena, the North Amer
lean Review and other publica tions.
During the campaign of 1896 he went to-
Mexico and personally investigated the
monetary condition of that country
under the dual standard. He is a
stanch advocate of government con-
troll of railroads and telegraph.
Judge Clark is fine linguist. Among
his published translations are three
volumes from the French of Soon
stant's Private Memoirs of Napoleon"
He edited five volumes of the "Regi-
mental Histories of North Carolina"
which were published by the state,
and the legislature passed special reso-
buttons thanking him for this work.
Justice Clark is Methodist, and has
represented his church in state and
general conferences. In 1881 he was
sent as lay delegate to the Methodist
Ecumenical council in London, and
while on this mission travelled exten-
sively through Europe. For the past
eight years he has been a member of
the Federation commission, which is
composed of the bishops and other
leaders Of the church, n orth and south.
He is a profound political student,
though his judicial position has pre-
cluded his participation In campaigns.
In 1896 he was offered the nomination
for governor, but preferred to remain
on the bench. The same year the;
North Carolina democratic convention
Endorsed him for vice president and he
received support also from other
states at the Chicago convention, when

Pixskin Grated or q Girl.

! A young girl, having been so badly
burned on the back that the skin re-
fused to heal, the surgeon conceived
the idea of using the cuticle Of a, young
pig. A small black pig was obtained,
chloroformed into insensibility, and
brought into. the operating room
swathed in sterilized towels. The skin
was laid on. in small pieces until it
covered the bare place. It was then:
secured by bands. This is the first
operation of the kind undertaken. 1T
is not expected, however, that the pig
skin will grow permanently TO the
child, but that natural cuticle will fin
ally push it out Of the way and cover

The count of the bonds held as Sc
curity for national bank note circula-

The experts are now at work on the

sists of brand new bills, ready to be is
sued whenever they are called for.
They are done up in packages of 1000
notes, regardless of the denomina-
tions. The smartest of the yonug
women can count ~ of these bundles,
or $4,000 bills, in a day. of five hours.
The bills are sitter and consequently
are harder to handle than currency
that has been used.
On what is known as a ''straight
count" involving bills that have been
used, but are perfectly clean and
whole, some Of the most expert young
women have counted 10000 in five
hours. The 20 women do practically
nothing but count the money. The
male assistants give out the bundles
and take receipts for them. AS they
are counted they are done up in pack
ages again and sealed. The girl who
counted them puts her initials on the
package, and after it has been inspect
ed by the committee in charge it is re-
placed in the vault. The bundles are
returned to the vault in proper order,
so they can easily be taken out in rota-
ton, when they are called for.
The counting of the reserve fund
will take 80 or 40 days. Then the
counters will dig into the gold coin, sill
YER certificates, United States notes
national bank notes received for re-
demption, the fractional coin and the
mixed money held for daily use. The
entire count will not be finished for
yearly three months.
