MAN BY TELEPHONE.

A great addition was made to the
happiness Of the public when the post
Office means Of communication was in
vented. The happiness Of the farmer
of to-day is increased by the introduce
ton of rural delivery Of mail matter.
The loneliness Of farm life is further
alleviated and mitigated by the intro
iuction of telephone service and the
trolley lines. And now comes plan to
make the postoffice service give much
quicker results by the aid of the tele-
phone. This plan is to fix things so
that the sending of mail matter may
be greatly expedited. In other words,
by placing on your letter certain de-
sign Of stamp, known as the telephone
stamp, the postmaster to whom the let
ter is directed will at once call up the
person addressed and read over to him
the portion of the letter indicated to be
read. The reply can be given by tele-
phone ana mailed by the postmaster.
This will make it possible for people
living a long distance from the post
office to receive and reply to a letter
of Importance almost instantly. Sena-
tor Fairbanks Of Indiana says the plan
will be presented to Congress at it's
next session.

More Sunahina

Did you ever feel the sunshine singing
through your soul
When some blessed boost Of fortune sent
you spinning toward your goal?
DIG you ever have some sorrow saving sin
ner sigh and say:
rDo not be too sure, my laddie, too self
confident, too gay,
For another day is coming when things may
be changed, you know
Thus he wreathes your joyous spirits In q
winding sheet of woe.
Spurn these gloom-pursuing m0rtals, shun
the w0rry-seeking man;
Know no trouble till it strikes you--sing of
sunshine when you can.
When the troubles come and smite US, then
it's hard enough to bear
He who seeks for clouds Is foolish when
his sky is blue and fair;
Keep the bitter from your testing, keep
the sting from out your chaff,
And the weariest weight of worry can be
hghtened by your laugh. s
Sing a while--no doleful ditty with a tear
In every line; ..- rs
Sing a while--no soulful sonnet with sue
cessive sob and whine
Sing song that sends the sunshine to the
soul of striving man;
Laughter lets love linger longer-so be jolly
while you can.

that :his is not true; that radium,
though not altogether stable, is. to a
certain extent. what might be called
constant. We have already cured a
number of supposed incurable cases of
that dread skin disease. lupus: now
there is only per cent. Of incurable
cases. We have also found, as Sir Will
liam Ramsay announced recently, that
gassy emanation OF radium possesses
properties similar to the substance it,
self. Now, I believe there is scarcely a
micro-organism living that viii resist
the attack of radium. We have proved
it in tuberculosis of the skin, and there
We have what we had hoped fora
means of making an internal treat
ment possible, as in tuberculosis Of the
lungs. With this gas as an inhalation
We ought to make consumption at least
not so dreaded as it is now. With the

growths that have heretofore been de-
layed only by the knife, rnay-remem-

Let US hope that the results sought

should prove to be an infallible curative

NEW USES FOR ALUMINIUM.


When aluminium first became cheap it
was employed for scarcely anything be-
sides the manufacture of a few house
hold utensils and a class of ornamental
and useful articles of which the pocket
matchbox is a type. Its next important
service was to compete with copper as
an electrical conductor. Between Mag
ara and Buffalo and in several other
parts Of the country it has demonstra-
ted its technical and economical value
In this kind of work beyond doubt. A
third field of usefulness has more re-
Gently been opened up. To this the at
tention of Americans is just now direc-
ted by the second visit of DR.. Hans
Goidschmidt to the United States. His
lecture at Columbia university last Fri
day revealed new possibilities for the
metal, which, according to chemists, is
more abundant than any other in the
earti's crust.
The key to the function which alumni
mum performs in metallurgy and engi-
neertng is found in the remarkable heat
that is suddenly developed when it is
burned. Combustion, it viii be remem-
bered, is simply the union Of given ell
ement with oxygen. When wood or
coal is set on fire the carbon combines
with that gas and produces carbonic
oxide. Aluminium will not unite with
atmospheric oxygen, though. 1t is me-
eessary to supply the element in a solid
form. The oxide of some other metal
furnishes this. If equal parts of alumni
mum and the oxide of iron, both pulver-
lied and cold, are placed in crucible,

IN DArS OF YOKE.

To those of his old comrades in polit-
ical campaigns in Connecticut who yet
linger on the shores Of time-and the
number is now few of those Of his age
or thereabouts-the news of the death
of Edward spicer Cleveland. of Hart
ford, came yesterday bringing up many
pleasant memories of the man; his
ready wit, his fowery and ready elo-
quence, his geniality and his pleasing
magnetic personality. Few were the
notable State campaigns of thirty or
forty years ago in which his voice was
not at the command of his party
| throughout the State, and in which New
Haven Democrats were favored with
his bright and sparkling talk. And at
many a banquet he was one of the
bright particular stars in request for
piquant jest, happy repartee and sill
very speeches. His political opponents
bore no malice to him, and a slip of the
tongue, when he alluded to our proud
national bird as the "freagle of Edom"
in one Of his flights of fancy, only en-
phasized the feeling of good cheer
which his presence brought. For years
the ''freagle of Edom" was ever a pat
allusion to this genial man when refer
ence to him came up in campaign edito-
rails from the camp of the opposition.
He was man of genuine and ardent
patriotism, useful and estimable citi-
zen. Among his personal friends here,
all of whom have passed away, were
Ex-Governor Ingersoll, General Colin NJ.
Irgersoll, Hon. James Gallagher and
EDITOR Minott A. Osborn, on the Demo-
cratic side, while in Hartford the late
Ex-Governor Hubbard, the late United
States Senator Eaton, the late Hon. Mr..
Hamersley and the late A. E. Burr were
his associates in flard-fought cam
paigns and among his warm personal
friends. He has passed away, and there
are but few Of the old colleagues left to
cast flowers upon his grave.

American cotton is still king, as it
ever has been since New Havener of
inperishable renown invented the cot
ton gin. The worlds supply of cotton
still comes mainly from this country,
and European nations are completely
dependent upon the American supply.
But some day the United States must,
if 1t continues growing as it has done,
consume the greater part of its own
cotton. This is evident from the growth
Of our manufacture of this product. In
18S7-sS our mills consumed 2,024,000 bales
Of cotton. In 1902 they consumed A.
057, 900 bales. Production of cotton had
advanced in the same years in less pro-
portion--to wit, from 6,550,215 bales to
10, 701, 453.
The English are raising the. cry of
''empire-grown cotton for imperial
needs" but where can 1t be obtained
India consumes more cotton than it
produces, Africa's yield is meagre and
of poor quality, and the West Indies
contribution is insignificant. In 1902
the United Kingdom imported 1916, 7S7,-
1888 pounds Of cotton, and Of this 1861
S39,2S2 pounds came from the United
States. OF these figures United States
Consul Boyle, of Liverpool, says: Even
these do not convey the full extent Of
British dependence upon the United
States, for practically all the cotton inl-
ported from elsewhere is of special
kind, used for mixing or ''mercerizing, F"
and at present England could not pro-
cure anywhere else the kind of cotton
she now. imports from the United States
and which is primarily and absolutely
necessary for the standard goods she
manufactures"
The figures show that, in spite of all
efforts to produce cotton elsewhere, the
United States still furnishes eighty per
cent. of the worlds supply.

five o'clock will confer with the special
committees of the Business Mems Asso-

ing local train from Weldon to Raleigh,
and a returning train in the afternoon.
There has been great demand from the

public generally, as we'll as from the
towns between Weldon and Raleigh for
such a train. 1t means much to the bust
ness interests of this city and Will be q
greatly appreciated convenience to people
along the Seaboard Air Line north Of
here.
1t is generally believed here that such
a train would soon develop into one OF
the pest paying trains operated by the
Air Line, and it would undoubt-
edly add to the popularity of the Sea-
board in this city. Strong argument |
viii be given by citizens in favor Of this !
new train, and it is probable that Mr.. (
Ryan will approve the plan and put it in
operation at an early date.
