GERMAN WINE-GROWERS.
turtles Ago for Their Foul
DecOctiOns.

The wine growers of Germany have
always had an evil repute, as a class
Nearly four centuries ago Erasmus de-
nounced them with burlesque violence
protesting that all the ills which af-
flicted his old age were due to the
foul decoctlons he drank when an in
nocent youth, although he had most
carefully avoided German wines for
many years, says the London Stand
ard The trial of Dr. Schlamp Won
Hofe aus Nierstein shows that his fra
ternity still practice the ancestral arts,
with improvements suggested by mod
err science. 1t was proved that this
ingenious parsonage, one of the larg-
est wine growers of the country, first
added so per cent. of water to his vint-
age. Then he mixed a quantity OF
cheap Greek wine, and fortified the
whole with ammonia, tannic acid, gel
atine, lsinglass, raisins and sugar, fin
ishing with few drops of some mys-
FERROUS liquid which he carried in his
pocket. The fine is G75, or imprison-
ment for 300 days in default. DIR.
Schlamp urged the public prosecutor
to spare him, on the ground that near
ly all his colleagues did the like, and
exposures would ruin the wine trade.
1t was businessllke argument, but
the prosecutor heard 1t unmoved.

Wireless Te1egraphy Station at Hat

Beaufort, N. c., Jan. 28.-A sta
ton is being erected at Cape Hat
teras by the American De Forest
Wireless Telegraph Company. G.. II.
Barbour, executive engineer, left here
this morning for that point with a
cargo of building material and the
work is to be pushed to an early
completion. The tower is to be 200
feet high.
The station is to be used for ship
business, and is one of a number of
stations along the Atlantic ~seacoast
that are being established by this
company, which is the strongest rival
the Marconi system has.

Accidents on American Railroads.

For the year ending June 80, 1902,
3O3 passengers were killed on Ameri-
can railroads and 5000 injured-a
very decided increase over preceding
years, for the figures of 1901 show
but 282 killed and 1888 injured, and
those of 1900 but 249 killed and f.
1913 injured. This shows that the
number of passengers has increased
and travelling conditions have not be-
come less dangerous.
The diminution of one kind of ac-
cident to employees is cheering, for
the means whereby this accident rate
was lowered points the way to secur-
ing greater safety. In 1902, 2,819
railroad employees were killed and
$4,000 injured, as against 1851 and
46,13O in 1901 and 2,799 and 4 1911
in 1900. These totals are deceptive,
since certain classes of employees
included in the earlier year do not
appear in last years figures. Prob
ably, as with the passengers lists,
just as many employees are killed or
manned now as formerly, with one
notable exception.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion reports that So per cent fewer
brakemen are killed and 81 per cent
fewer injured in coupling cars now
than in 1898; and they ascribe the
improvement to the Safety-Appliance
Act of 1893 requiring automatic
couplers. In other words, the single
Significant gain in safety came
through legislation. Rigid laws are
the best guarantee against railroad
accidents.-The Worlds Work.

Senate Committee Hostile to Crum.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Senate
Committee on Commerce did not act
this morning on the case of DR.. w.
D. Crum, colored, who was nominated
by the President to be Collector of
Customs at Charleston. The pre-
vailing belief is that action was de-
ferrred because of the fact that at
least three Republicans were ready
to vote with the Democrats and re-
port unfavorably the nomination for
confirmation. The three Republi-
cans who are believed to be in SYM
pathy with the Democrats and Op-
posed to Crum's confirmation are
Senators Perkins, of California; Elk
ms, of West Virginia, and Jones, of
Nevada. There was not a show of
strength to-day in the committee, but
1t is believed that all three Republi-
cans mentioned above will vote with
the Democrats in opposition to a
favorable report if the matter is
brought to an issue. 1t is said that
the Republicans realize that they can
not secure a favorable report on
Crum's nomination and that they
will not press the matter further,
leaving the opportunity to the Presi-
dent to make a recess appointment
when Crum can qualify and assume
the duties of the ofice.-Raleigh

Hon. Lee S. Overman.

Hon. Lee S. Overman was born in
Salisbury, January 3, 1854. In 1874
he entered Trinity College, Randolph
County, and graduated in 1876. Up
on the redemption of the State by
Governor Vance in 1876, Mr.. Over
man, a brilliant young man, just out
of college, was made Private, Secre-
tary by the great War Governor. In
that position Mr.. Overman made a
friend of every nan who called at
the Executive Office, and formed
many strong friendships. He devot-
ed his nights to the study of the law
and in 1873 was licensed to practice
law. In 1879 he resigned as Private
Secretary, returned to Salisbury
where he entered at once upon a
practice that has grown with every
passing year. He now commands a
clientele second to that of no practi-
toner, at a specially able bar. In
1886 he was elected a member of the
House of Representatives from Row
an, and has been elected five different
times to the House. He proved
himself a safe and wise legislator,
and his people have often called up
on him to serve them. His record is
without flaw. In 1898 he was elected
Speaker of the House, and proved
one of the fttest men who had filled
that high Office in a quarter of a
century. He is a splendid parlia-
m~entarian, has commanding pres
ence, and made a fine officer. He has
held many positions of trusts and
honor. He was director and after
wards president of the North Caro-
lima Railroad under the administra-
ton of Governor Carr.
At the session of the Legislature Of
1895, the Democratic caucus nomi-
mated Mr.. Overman as their candi-
date to succeed the lamented Vance
in the United States Senate, and he
received the vote Of every Democrat
for that high office. In 1900 Mr..
Overman was the Democratic Presi-
Dental e~lector for the State-at-large.
In that and in every other campaign
since he attained his majority he
made eloquent speeches for Demo
cratic candidates. He is a Democrat
without variableness or shadow of
turning, and has always been ready
to serve his party in the ranks or in
leadership. He is an eloquent and
able campaigner; a successful and
able lawyer; a popular and wise Leg

Our Washington Letter.

national agreement for the malnten-
ance of silver at a uniform ration of
80 to 1 is regarded in official circles
as the most important development
of the past week. The depreciation
and wide fuctuation of silver has re-
suited in grave loss to the Philip
pines. It has complicated the Ven
ezuelan situation, making the pay
ment of Venezuela's debts doubly
difficult, and it threatens to ruin
China if that country is compelled
by the powers to pay the indemnity
incurred by the late insurrection in
gold. Mexico has also suffered from
the same cause, and has now taken
the most energetic initiative to Sc
cure the acceptance by the United
States of the proposed plan. With
this end in view, Senior Enrique @.
Creel has come to Washington to
treat with the Secretaries of State
and the Treasury. China has adj
dressed a note to this government
making a similar request, and the
United States is urged to use its
good offices with Great Britain and
France to secure their cooperation,
which would doubtless be fOrthcom,
ing as their colonies are under the
same disadvantages. The possibility
of securing the acceptance of the
plan by the United States was sug-
gested to the foreign nations by the
Administration Philippines coinage
bill, which is drawn along those lines.

When Senator Quay was on the
verge of defeat and some of his most
ardent supporters had lost hope, he
resorted to one of those ruses for
which the willy Pennsylvania is
noted and introduced the Statehood
bill in the form of amendments to
both the Agricultural and the Sun
dry Civil appropriation bills with the
request that the amendments be re-
ferred to the committee of which he
is chairman, and which, if it has the
opportunity, will render a favorable
report. The passage of these appro-
priation bills without the amend
ment would then be practically i'm
possible in the Senate where Nj. Quay
has a majority of votes.
