as they are today. Indeed, there
is some danger that the curricu-
lum may become too elaborate for
the highest value For it must not
be forgotten that this is an age OF
specialties, and specialists. The sue
cessful man of this decade is the man
who has learned to do one thing
we'll, so much better than it is ordi-
narily done that it secures recog-
milton of his superiority. The day
of the successful empiric has gone
by. The day has come when the
man who is at the top of his PROBES
sion is he who has harnessed expert
ment and observation to his wagon,
and who, combining the utilities and
the humanities, devotes himself con-
scientiously to the service OF his
kind.
Time was when the blacksmith was
the most important man in every
community because the blacksmith
made the weapons of destruction.
Today, although wars are still wag-
ed, with the cruelty of barbarians
and the frenzy of lunatics, men are
dimly conscious Of something better
and something wiser, and up the sky
of the future rises in faint outline the
splendid adumbration of a holier
time when each shall be the guardian
of all, and permanent peace shall be
! q nations truest conquest.

complished by these, the usefulness
which they are to reEder to their
State and country depends almost
entirely on the ideals they have form
ed during their school career and the
conceptions they have of their duty
and obligations to the world. To
graduate with the highest distinc-
tions from the very best college in
the land, is no guarantee OF the posi-
tion one will hold in the future.

The Gate To Death
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
The open switch is the terror ofthe
man who sits at the throttle OF the
engine If lynching is ever riustifiable
it's when a miscreant deliberately
turns an engine into an open switch.
We recall a number OF instances
where this has happened in the last
year. Only a day or two ago all ell
gineer and his fireman were instantly
killed by having their engine turned
into an open switch. Mr.. C. W. Tucker,
engineer on the S. A. L., was turned
into an open switch at Henderson.
He now fingers in the hospital, a
cripple for life. Only a night or so
ago an engineer saw the switch light
disappear. Shutting off his engine
he succeeded in stopping it in time to
find that someone had broken the
lock, turned the switch, and was no
doubt in hiding, watching the awful
consequences of his dastardly, deed
Nogood citizen can afford to 'advo
cate lynching, and yet we are free to
say if the proof is certain, beyond q
doubt, the perpetrator of such a deed
ought to suffer the extreme penalty
of the law, and ought to do it in the
most summary way, consistent with
the laws of society.
It's far worse than to stand behind
a tree and kill your man as he ap
proaches. In that case you kill one
while in wrecking a rain no one may
escape death or injury.

Hint to Judges.
Wilmington Star.

Judges who are of the opinion that
the right OF appeal has become obso-
lete, null and void, and that citation
to show cause why attachment for
contempt shall not lie is antiquated
and entirely within the discretion OF
the court, should set up straight and
seriously consider whether their legal
education has been neglected. We
deny the right OF appeal from this
hand down.

and I'd street southeast. The decision Of the
Commissioners will relieve the company of
paying rent on about two-thirds of that
portion Of the thoroughfare
The situation of the matter and the Com
missioners' position with regard to the
question involved are set forth in an in
dorsement on the papers by Commissioner
West and approved by Commissioners Mac
farland and Biddle. Mr.. Vests statement
is as follows
IN the year 1893 the District Commits
sioners entered into an agreement with the
then existing Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road Company to rent Canal street between
New Jersey avenue and I'd street east for
the consideration of $500 annually. In
February. 1901, Congress passed law re-
lating to the elimination of grade crossings,
giving the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington railroad, the successor of the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad, the right
to use certain streets mentioned in the act
and also to occupy other streets upon which
rails were then laid, including Canal street
between New Jersey avenue and South Cap
ito street.
Some question arose as to the execution
of this law. The railroad company paid
rent until 1903, at which time the previous
act was confirmed and the work of con-
structing the new terminals began. The
railroad company then asserted that the
act of Congress had abrogated the previous
agreement concerning the payment of rent,
excepting as to that portion of Canal street
between South Capitol and I'd streets
southeast. the right to occupy which was
not included in the act.
IAN examination of the records shows
that the Commissioners, In report to Con-
gress concerning the bill for eliminating
grade crossings on the line of the Balti-
more and Potomac railroad distinctly in
formed Congress that the railroad company
paid rent for the space occupied by it's
tracks on Canal street, adding that the bill
" ould seem to relieve the company from
such payments. Notwithstanding this warn
ing, Congress enacted the legislation. The
opinion of the District Commissioners as

To Establish Her Identity.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The young woman
found at st. Louis yesterday who could tell
nothing about herself, aside from the fact
that she was born in New York, and that
she thought her name was Van Krese, is
believed to be Mrs. Tina Eberhardt of

as given by her brother, j. H. Haecf1ler.
Mrs Eberhardt Is widow and twenty
two years old. Her mind was affected by
the death Of her husband, about six months
ago, and at times she has been considered
irresponsible. She went to New Jersey to
visit friends about ten days ago, and MOTH
ing was heard of her until dispatch told

THE NATIONAL Alb,
Army and Navy Recognize the Star
Spangled Banner as Such.

The "Star Spangled Banner is the ma
tional anthem of the United States so far
as the navy is concerned, according to a
decision by Secretary Moody In line with
the recommendation Of Rear Admiral Tay-
Tor, chief Of the bureau Of navigation. An
order just issued prescribes that hereafter
the Star Spangled Banner shall be played
on board ships of the navy and at all naval
stations at both morning and evening col
ors Heretofore the Star Spangled Ban
ner' has been played with the raising Of
the flag in the morning and .s'aail Column
bia" with the lowering OF the cOlors at sun
set. This apparent eqaaf recognition Of
both airs led to some confusion in the navy
as to which Of the two was the national
anthem. The action Of Secretary Moody
settled that question SO far as the navy is
concerned in favor of the "Star Spangled
Banner" In doing SO, however, he did not
pass on the question as to whether or not
Hail Columbia" Is national air, deeming
that a matter for Congress alone to deter
NINE
Although there IL no specific declaration
in the army regulations on the subject Of
the national air, the universal practice at
all army posts and garrisons Is to play the
"Star Spangled Banner on the lowering
Of the colors at, retreat or sunset. There
is no special ceremony in the army at the
raising of the coiors in the morning. 1t
would therefore appear that both military
departments Of the government recognize
the Star Spangled Banner as the national
air of the United States
