A MORNING TONIC.

tProf. Middleton of Sanford University
The highest resolution that every citi-
zen should make is it seems to me. to
try to become the best and most useful
man he knows how to become; and, to
this end, to cultivate his mind and to &C
quire knowledge that he may act more
wisely to interest himself in men and
affairs of men that he may become SYM
pathetic and helpful; to perform the plain
and simple duties of everyday life cheer
fully, modestly, patiently, fearlessly; to
labor unremittingly for the welfare OF
family, neighbors and society, with due
regard for his own proper rights and we'll
being; to be just to all men: TO be KIND
and respectful TO others without sacrifice
of his self-respect; to be true to his con-
victions, but to maintain them without
arrogance; to acquit his just debts OF
money or of Kindness to allow no selfish
aim to encroach on others rights; to
covet no unearned success, nor undeserved
honor, but to accept without vanity or
conceit such honors or success as may
properly be his; to do his work cheer
fully and unostentatiously, giving and
getting as much rational pleasure as pos
siblc OH the way; to strive to attain that
insight into. the relations between the
desirable and the attainable-that COM
mon sense which makes human effort and
influence most effective for good.

EITHER FOOL OR KNAVE.
Williams Makes a Pertinent Remark
Notifications Appropriation Bill
Passed.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington. Feb 18.-The House to-
day Passed the Notifications Appropria-
ton bill. The Philippines question was
the subject of brief but spirited discus
sion while the bill was under considera-
ti6n.
An item in the bill provided for forti-
fications in the insular possessions.
Mr.. Smith, (Dem., KY, proposed an
amendment to preclude the use of any
part of the appropriations Notifications IN
the Philippines, holding that an eXpen-
diture of the sum necessary proerly to
fortfy the islands was not warranted I'M
til the future of the archielago shall have
been determined A party alignment on
the proposition Immediately followed, Mr..
Williams (Miss.), the minority leader,
taking up the fight for the amendment.
He said the dominant power had not yet
declared itself as to the future of the
islands, and that he did not want the les
son taught that one people might rule
another people.
Messrs. Payne IN. W, and Smith Qa),
on the Republican side seconded Mr.. Lit
tauer IN. ", who was in charge OF the
bill, in opposition to the amendment de-
claring that it was the duty OF this gov
eminent to afford protection to the peo-
pie of the Philippine Islands.
BY a strict party vote of so TO 81 the
Smith amendment was lost.
Mr. Robinson (Dem., Ind), made an uf-
successful attempt to secure an amend
ment to prevent the use of any portion
of the money appropriated for experiment
tai purposes for Langley airship expert
ments.
The general debate on the bill developed
into political discussion, Mr.. Hill (Rep.,
Conn.,, started it by asking what Democ-
racy stands for, addressing himself chiefly
to Mr. Williams CAIiss), and taking oc-
casion to criticise the Democratic assign
ments on the committees, which had been
made on the recommendation of the mi
norty leader.
Mr.. Williams assumed full responsibility
for the apportionment among the minor
ity, and comparison of conditions North
and South resulted.
Mr. Williams said any one who looked
over the South and observed conditions
there and advocated unlimited manhood
suffrage was either a fool, because he
did not understand: or knave, because,
understanding he did not care. This was
greeted with APPLAUSE on the Democratic
side. Mr.. Williams said there was as
much trouble at elections IN the district
represented by Mr.. Loudenslager On. Us
as at polls in the South,
Mr.. Wade (Dem., Ia, predicted that
the Democratic party will be victorious
in the coming campaign and declared the
west favored tariff revision.
The House adjourned until tomorrow.

BURNING OF GREENSBORO FEMALE
COLLEGE.

The fire in Greensboro yesterday morn
male College was most disastrous one.
It was only few days ago that the good
news went forth that all the arrangements
had been perfected for the control of the
college by both Methodist Conferences;
that the money was secure for paying the
purchase price; that an excellent start
pay off the $4,000 of bonds on the insti-
tuition; that the college was now payin4
expenses under the excellent management
of Mrs. Robertson and had paid the in
terest to date on the bonds; and that the
outlook for the college was that it was
jus' entering upon a career of enlarged
success. The ink was hardly dry on the
papers containing this good news when
the wires flashed the intelligence that
Greensboro Female College has been burn.
ed to the ground.
The fire is nothing short of calamity
unless it serves to arouse deeper interest
of the people of Greensboro, in the Metho-
dists of the State, and other friends of edu-
alton to come to the rescue In this hour
of emergency and need. The insurance
of $4,000 will not begin to replace the
large and stately and well constructed
building burned yesterday morning. The
time is at hand that calls for large benefi-
cence upon the part of Methodists OF
means to the end that this Oldest instltu-
ton of the church shall be saved and given
such an impetus as will make it more use
full than ever. One hundred thousand dol
lars to the Methddists of today is not as
much as twenty thousand twenty-five
years ago. Then such men as Julian 5.
Carr, the Odells, the Lillys, Grays and
Winsteads saved the institution. There is
wealth enough to more than rebuild the
college this summer and it ought not to
be doubted that it will be forthcoming

Within the past three weeks three Of
the largest and most useful educational
institutions for the education of women
have suffered greatly by fire. The State

the Oxford Female Seminary was COM
