Two Views on Present Era of
Extravaganza.

1.-The decade between 1895 and 1905
will be known as the period of greatest
extravaganza in the history of this
country, both in private life and in
governmental administration y said Rep
resentative Shepard, of Texas, today.
"The appropriations by Congress during
this period surpass all records. What
with carrying on war, q%uadrupling the
size of the army, vastly increasing the
navy, buying up an archipelago of is
lands, undertaking the digging of a
$500, 900 900 canal and other big enter
prises, the expenses of the government
have increased enormously. The same
lavish expenditure is found in the
commercial world and in the private
lives of the people. Practically every
person is living up to the limit of his
income, and the good old custom of
saving a portion of the weekly wage or
yearly earnings is rapidly being for
gotten. Prices of all living commodities
are getting higher, but wages are not
going up with them. People seem to
banker after things that are just a little
out of their reach, and appear discon-
tented unless they are spending every
penny they get. The inevitable result
VI ILLS COuultlOu VIII Ut u CIdSn sooner
or later. | look for a big industrial
collapse before long of the kind that
occurs periodically as an offset to every
era of extravaganza
"Itis true, "said Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw, that we are in a period ofex-
travagance, but the conditions warrant
and demand it. The farmer is no longer
content to haul his produce to market
through bad and muddy roads. The
people of the village will not put up
with a pine walk, or a brick court house,
as they would years ago. No n would
think of building a church without a
stove in it nowadays, as was the custom
in the hard times of the past. The
people expect and insist on something
better. The country has advanced out
of the brick court house and pine board
walk condition; now we must have a
granite court house and a granolithic
pavement. All these things cost money.
I can well remember the time when
scarcely a merchant or farmer, no mat
ter how prosperous, who did not have a
patch on his trousers. How many men
wear patched trousers today? The
patching of shoes is a lost art, in spite
of the fact that shoes cost more now
than they did fifteen, twenty and thirty
years ago. No, this is an age ofextrav-
agance, and it affects Democrats and
Republicans alike, as well as the ma
tional government. n-Brooklyn Eagle.

WORLDS FAIR.
Great Coach Excursions via Penn
sylvania Railroad,

June 9, Is, %, and 80 are the next
dates for great coach excursions to St.
Louis via Pennsylvania Railroad, on
account of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. The rates for these excur-
sions have been fixed at such a low
figure that they afford those of limited
means an opportunity of seeing the
Worlds Fair at an exceptionally small
cost. The unusual success attending
the first Pennsylvania Railroad eXcur-
sion indicates that these will be very
popular.
Special trains of standard Pennsyl-
vania Railroad coaches of the most
modern pattern will be run on the
aforementioned dates from New York,
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Altoona, and
Pittsburg, directly through to st. Louis
with ample stops for meals at conve-
nient hours. Each train will be in
charge of Tourist Agent of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. The rates will be the
same as for the first excursion, May 10,
$40 from New York, $18. so from Phila-
delphia, and proportionate rates from
other stations.
Specific information regarding time
of special train and connections, and
rates from principal stations east of
Pittsburg, will be announced shortly.

that Rev. John E. White, d. D., a

Hest church in Georgia. On the Sun
day it was opened, the pastor Rev.
Charles w. Byrd, d. D., a Harnett
county boy, raised $4,000, and the
church was dedicated free from debt.
That's what a Harnett county Meth
odist preacher can do for his denomi-
nation in the metropolis of Georgia.
Take from Georgia it's Tar Heel
blood, and it would have been a very
poor State. North Carolinians chiefly
settled it in the early days and they
have been furnishing it great preach
ers, great lawyers, great statesmen,
great captains of industry ever since.
And the supply left in the mother
State has been fully equal to the de-
mand.
