CURRENT COMMENT
A GREAT MUSICIAN AT NINETY.
 NINE.

Manuel Garcia, the famous teacher Of singing and inventor of the laryn- goscope, was born on march r. 1905, so that today he has completed his ninety-ninth year and has entered on his hundredth: He is still in posses sion of his faculties and takes an in terest in the affairs of the world as well as in the art of singing. Open what book you may on the art of sing ing and you will find that he is men, toned as the foremost exponent of voice production on the lines that gave the world the great singers of the past.
 Manuers father was famous as a tenor, teacher of singing and a com poser of operas. He died in 1882. His three children fully inherited his musi- cal talent. The most famous, Mali bran, is still a household word; Paul inc Vairdot Garcia was hardly less fa- nous, and his son Manuel, though not highly gifted as a singer, has carried on the tradition of the Garcia family as the most prominent of singing teachers the nineteenth century has known.-London News.

MY ARIZONA BEDROOM.

O, my Arizona bedroom
 Is beneath the Milky Way, And the moon is its ceiling,
 And the star that tells of day. And the mountains life the corners, And the desert lays the floor Of my Arizona bedroom.
 Which is large as all outdoor. O. my Arizona bedroom
 Is ventilated right: Every wind that's under heaven Comes to me with biithe goodnight; Comes to me with touch of blessing And of ozone, one drink more, In my Arizona bedroom,
 Which is large as all outdoor. O. my Arizona bedroom
 Has the lightning on it's wall, And the thunders rap the panels And their heavy voices call: And the night birds wing above me, And the owl hoots galore Through my Arizona bedroom,
 Which is large as all outdoor. O, my Arizona bedroom.
 It sometimes seems to me, Is afloat in middle heaven
 With each star in argosy; And the tide that turns at midnight Drifts us down to mornings shore Floats us, stars and bed and bedstead On the ocean of outdoor. O. my Arizona bedroom
 Is beneath the splendid stars. And the clouds roll up the curtains. And the windows have no bars, And see my God in heaven
 As the ancients did of yore, In my Arizona bedroom,
 Which is large as all outdoor. J. William Lloyd in New York Sun

HEALTH AND COMFORT ON RAIL.
 ROADS.

The welcome ann ouncement is made that the Pullman company has adopted a new design for sleeping cars which will facilitate the work of the cleaners. The new ears will contain no grillwork or carving, and the surfaces will be curved as far as possible, while a me- terial has been selected for curtains and seat covers from which dust and dirt can be readily removed. The company believes that it's ventilating apparatus is the best thus far devised, and will therefore make no change in that part of the equipment, but stricter orders have been issued in re- spect to the disinfection of cars in which sick patients have travelled.
 These policies have been adopted primarily for sanitary reasons, and are doubtless tudicious from that pcint of view alone. Mouldings, open work ana sharp angles afford convenient lodg- ings to disease germs and easily defy the processes of eviction Thick wor- 'steds can hardly be kept clean under the most favorable conditions by assid- uous care and a large expenditure of muscular energy. But the use of dif
 ferent forms and furnishings is not Justified merely by considerations of health. The elaborate woodwork and dense upholstery of sleeping; cars have always been offensive to persons of good judgment and taste, and their disappearance will enhance the pleas ure and diminish the miseries of travel. But drawingroom cars are at least as bad as sleeping cars, and we hope the Pullman company will not confine it's

MIR. HEARST AS A MoNoPoLlsT

The announcement from St. Louis that William Randolph Hearst has been endeavoring to buy uJ all he ho- tel space during the time of the demo- cratic convention, shows that the man agers of the other booms are called upon to fight a campaign manager who combines the dash of the Togo with the shrewdncss of a Europa tkin-
 MT. Hearst is said to have failed in his attempt to secure the hotel space, as the hotel keepers were afraid that the creation of a hotel monopoly dur ing the convention might injure their business in the long run. But simply because he failed in this one particu- lar is no sign that the willy MT. Hearst is bafiled. At any time Judge Parker's s managers may come face to face with the blood-cnilling announcement that Hearst has bought up all the restau- rants in St. Louis and that nobody will be able 10 secure a meal at convention time unless he takes the Hearst cath of allegiance. Nor will it be beyond the range of possibilities for MT. Hearst to create a temporary monop- oly of the saloon business, securing an agreement from all the saloon keepers and bartenders to sell no liquid re- treatments to any but Hearst men. The mere fact that a hotel, restaurant or saloon monopoly would seem incon- sistent in the anti-monopoly candidate would not bother Mr. Hearst an in stant, as consistency has never heen known to give him trouble.
 Buying UP the refreshments for man and beast privileges is some thing new in political campaigning, but MT. Hearst is nothing if pot novel. As matters stand today he is the most refreshing note in the prcliminaries of the campaign.-Denver Republican.

FLYINe-MAcHINE IDEALS.

Any one who has studied the flight of birds cannot fail to have noticed that many of them do not appear to exert as much energy in flying as a small animal does in running. The mo tor car and the locomotive are able to run three miles while any land animal is only able to run one. Why, then, should we not make a flying machine that will outfly the swiftest bird D.

of claims for an unjust debt against
the State. Here is the declaration
unanimously adopted by the State
Democratic convention:
1.-THE State Debt.
after long and careful elaboration
and conference with many of it's cred
itors, the State of North Carolina adj
justed its debt upon a basis so fair
and honorable as to win the approval
of the financial world and to secure
ratification by nearly every creditor
attempts have been made to reopen
the question settled at that time by
the States wisest and best men. The
Democratic party of 1904 approves
the settlement made in 1879 and will
forever oppose any and all attempts
from any quarter to set aside the set
tlement then made. 1t will abide the
mandates of the courts but it Will not
consent to reopen the settlement that
was alike creditable to the State ana
fair to the holders of it's securities"
That was wise, timely and sem
sible declaration by the honest party
charged with protecting the welfare
and honor of the State. The refusal
of the attorneys for the bondholders
to consent to q postponement of sale
till after the adjournment of the Leg
stature is another evidence the State
should set it's face like flint against
any action different from that APP
proved by the Legislature, 1879.

against North Carolina.

shares of the stock of the North Caro-
lima Railroad Company belonging to
the State of North Carolina, ana or

make the date for the call for pay

Justice Fuller asked if the state would
agree to meet the obligation should
the call be postponed as requested,
but General GilFmer said that he was
not able to speak for the State, that
the Legislature would have its dttrn-
ton directed 20 the matter, this by

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

| The Presidents message was read
in Congress yesterday and is printed
| elsewhere today. 1t is written in Mr..
Roosevelt's virile style and docu-
ment we'll worth reading. Whether
you agree with Mr.. Roosevelt or differ
with him wholly, he is one of the few
public men who write English with
such strength and vigor as to show he
is master of a graphic and interesting
style.
OF course there is much in the mes
sage-as in everything he writes
touching fundamental questions that
recalls what Tom Reed said about Mr..
Roosevelt: He thinks that he is the
original discoverer of the Ten Com
mandments" He expresses an old
maxim or a venerable truth in
such way as to make one feel that it
is something new that he has discov-
cred, and you feel that he himself
thinks he has dug it from his mental
mine He can deal in evasive declara-
tons and say nothing-as for instance
his treatment of the rights of labor
and capital-with such apparent cam
dor as TO make you feel that he is
meeting the question fully and brave
ly, and yet, after reading that portion
of his message and you sit down to see
what he does recommend, you see
that he has written a splendid essay
rather than emphasized any clear-cut
policy.
There is no radical departure in the
message, no recommendation that in
dictate any change of policy. Some of
his recommendation with reference
to giving additional powers to the
Interstate Commerce Commission are
excellent, though he opposes conferr-
ing the power to fix freight and pas
senger rates-the very thing that is
needed above everything else. You
almost think he is going to rise to
the occasion and urge the granting of
that necessary power,--the thing the
railroads fight harder than anything
else and without which shippers are
at the mercy of the great transporta-
ton trust-but he stops short of that
recommendation.
There is no immediate policy out
lined that will change the Philippine
situation, he does not discuss the much
talked of tariff revision, he does not
directly mention Southern legislation,
and devotes much of his message to
an advocacy of a great navy, strong
standing army, and the necessity OF
always being prepared for war.
There is much in the message that
will meet the approval of men of all
parties and there is little of partisan
ship expressed. The thing that chiefly
character it is that it is aa rather
conservative document couched in
elegant English.

Starved to Death.

our text today is the story of the
miser who taught his ass TO live on
straw, of which he gave him a small
er portion every day.
Just as the miser had got him SO
trained as to eat one straw day
the poor ass died.
He is an ass who starves himself to
death-as thousands are doing, misied
by foolish teachers-because their
stomachs have become too weak,
through neglect or disease, to do the
work viii IN p..tuce has rru, t1el Tor
their stoma ms 10 do.
Because the engine is out of gear,
would you consign it to the junk
heap?
Commit slow suicide because your
digestive organs leak?
Certainly not Take Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
One thing is sure as shooting.
You can never get a new stomach
You must mend it. or it will lead
you a miserable existence.
The only way to mend it is to take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scien-
tifically demonstrated by the many
thousands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral waters, pills and slow, suicidal
starvation had failed.
These methods are all unscientific-
therefore false.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sc;en
tific-thercfore true and successful
Having cured SO many thousands -
many ofSwhom doubtless have suffer
ed more than YOU do--do we claim too
much when we say that Stuart'S Dys-
pepsia Tablets will surely do good to
you?
Surely not.
Especially Wn 4 We make it plain
that no promise is made II cure more
than one disease Dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
positive cure for just this one disease.
They are scientific combination OF
ingredients which search OUT thu weak
spots in all the digestive organs and
make them strong and Well
They have an immediate digestive
action on undigested food, and thus,
while curing weak organs, they at the
same time help them to do their
work.
They thus stand for all that is good
in the medical treatment Of Dyspepsia
and for nothing that is bad.
They are not fad but a fact.
They are safe, pleasant, certain anu
permanent, and can De taken by the
most delicate invalids without fear of
harmful results.

AT the said October term, 1903. of
this court u decree was entered in the
said cause, finding the amount due or
the bonds and coupons in suit TO be
so 400, and directing that the State
of North Carolina should pay TO the
State of South Dakota the said
amount, with costs of sad suit, on or
before the first Monday of January,

ment the marshal of this court was
directed ito sell at public auction all

Counsel for the State of North Car

the sum decreed to be due upon the
bonds herein sued on, and that such
time be fixed for the first Monday in

The effect of such enlargement OF
the time would be TO make IT so much

The complainant objects to this
