AMPLE REVENUE FOR STATE
PURPOSES.

The statements made elsewhere, in
an interview with the State Auditor,
would indicate that the State will
have ample revenues next year to
meet all necessary expenses and to
make the needed permanent improve
lnents. The State ought to look for
ward soon to setting aside a reserve
to pay the bonds issued to pay the
cost of Fusion rule, but the need for
immediate enlargement in certain di-
rections is so important that it should
not be longer delayed. and the putting
aside of a reserve may delayed.
The first and most important need
is to provide room in the hospitals for
the insane for the State. In this day
OF civilization and enlightenment and
benevolence, the State must not fail
to give the best medical attention and
care to those whose minds are dis
eased, Everything else is secondary
to this important duty-a duty that
must be performed before anything
else is considered. 1t is a stigma upon
the State that any insane person is IN
carcerated in jails, or prisons, or per-
mitted to languish in their homes.
The State took a long step forward
two years ago in providing additional
facilities at Morganton. 1t must take
q. further step this year and, provide
accommodations for the treatment in
well equipped hospitals of all who are
in jails, county homes, and private
homes
There are three things that the
LEGISLATURE should do in this connec-
ton: /. Admit no more inebriates,
certainly as long as insane are valnly
knocking at the doors of the hospital
fer admission; 2. Deny admission to
those who are abundantly able to pay
at private sanitariums; 5. Take out
the poor men who are incarcerated i'll
the penitentiary because they are
falsely said to be "criminally insane.
Their presence in the penitentiary is
a disgrace to the State just as well as
all talk of criminal insane" is piece
of absurdity. If a man is insane he
cannot be a criminal in any sense, for
he is not T6SpOllSlUiS AOI 4iio avs AAS
is entitled to the same tender care
and treatment, under proper restraint
as any other person suffering mental
derangement. The Punishment of
these insane to the State prison is a
stain upon the States policy with
reference to unfortunate people, and
should be removed without delay.
The fact that after years of an
empty treasury, the State has come
through wise management and better
taxing laws to nave surplus on hanc
is no reason for extrdVa-
gance or unusual departures. The
public institutions, charitable and ed
ucational should be supported in
manner in keeping with conditions in
North Carolina, but not extravaganza
". and, until the necessary enlarge.
ments are completed, no new depar-
lures should be undertaken by the
LEGISLATURE. But for the imperative
need of enlargement at this time, it
would be possible to decrease the tax
tate. but that should not be consid-
cred until all our institutions are
made large enough for the needs of
the State and properly equipped.

WHAT ASTORS ARE DOING
BY DIEDRIcH knlckEReockER.

New York, July 23.-This Is the time of
the year that the Newport summer colony
looks upon as peculiarly its own, when
the true enjoyment of this marvellous
place is taken at its full value. Life is
temperate and lived much in the open
air, and there is none of that hysterical
gayety that comes later when the villas
are filed with house parties and when
hospitality is dealt out with an almost
prodigal hand.
Sea bathing and the delightful drives
that abound in this section are taken adj
vantage of daily and there is an inter-
change of dinners and luncheons, with
bridge to follow, or a jolly spree at the
Clambake club, where formality is dis
pensed with and the food of the sea
caught in sight of all Is eaten with an
appetite that chills the heart of the aver
age French chef, whose dainties are dis
pensed with for the time being. The chef
will, however, have his full sway later
on, when the more formal dinners begin
and when the balls and dances are under
way Although it is now somewhat dull
it is only the condition of affairs expected
during the early part of July. dances
rarely being given in this month.

NEW BEVERAGE.
Yerba Mate Said to be Superior 7,
Tea or Coffee.

From the New York World
United States Consul Ayme writes from
Para recommendation of a Brazilian
beverage, yerba mate tea, which is pre-
pared from the roasted and pulverized
leaves of an evergreen forest tree.
Yerba mate is largely consumed in
Paraguay and IN the Brazilian states,
where it is made. 1t is very extensively
consumed in Argentina, in Uruguay, and
to a less extent In Chilli There is a small
consumption in other states of Brazil
very small quantity is exported to Eu-
rope, and still less to the United States
and Canada. Estimated exports may
reach 5000 to $1,000 tons annually
Yerba mate has peculiar bitter smoky
taste, which is usually considered unpleas-
ant and this has largely operated to pre-
vent its more extensive use as a bevers
age. The smoky bitterness is chiefly due
to the rude method employed for drying
the leaves, and 1t seems likely that i'm
proved methods of drying the mate on
iron or copper pans would give a much
more delicate and agreeable product. Mate
Is said to have all of the best qualities
of coffee and tea as stimulating health
beverage, without the disadvantages of
either. 1t is more gentle stimulant than
either, and is said to be much used in
the hospital of Paris.
The tree could probably be grown in
southern California, perhaps in southern
Texas, certainly in many parts of the
Philippines.

has been reduced and their condition has
been changed.
No one now believes with Calvin and
Luther that all unbaptized children are
damned; this single change of doctrine
has reduced by one-half the number of
those consigned TO perdition.' The num-
Der has been further reduced by the
Roman Catholics, some of whom are
pointing out that the doctrine of no
salvation outside the church" has been
oyerstated, and by such Protestant the
ologians as DIR. Patton of Princeton, who
Is reported to have said that the num-
Der of the finally lost will probably be in
about the proportion of those now con-
fined in prison on earth. There are now
four states of mind
The old doctrine of endless punishment
still appears In some books; the doctrine
of the humiliation of the wicked also has
some advocates; a large number do not
know which way to turn and, finally,
there are many expressions or the larger
hope.
According to Lyman Abbott some of
the most vigorous presentations of the
severity of eternal judgment are spoken
from Universalist pulpits the reaction
from hell fire doctrines being most pro-
nounced in conservative communions.
Professor knight calls the condition of
some modren theology ''backboneless, :"

reaction may have been reached, and con-
cludes that the thing to be desired as a
remedy is mot unlike the good old ortho-
dox doctrine of fear and the sense of JUS

fact of the severity of God as manifested

Meerchaum Pipes Cheaper.

A well-known tobacconist here yielded
up the other day the following curious
interview: "A meerschaum pipe that would
have brought S25 ten years ago wouldn't
bring more than $40 now. Meerschaum

sought for today. 1t isn't strange that
the liking for them should have waned
The meerschaum is an unsa tisfaetory pipe
at the best. Drop 1t, and 1t is irretrieva-
bly, broken. Try to color it, and for a
month 1t tastes like soap. 1t isn't the
meerchaum In one of these pipes that
colors anyway. 1t is a mixture of bees
wax and oil that the carvers rub into
the block before they carve It. You could
smoke pipe of pure meerschaum all
your life. and at your death 1t would be

Is the oil and beeswax-only that-whch
colors. While meerschaum pipes have
fallen in cost and favor, brlar pipes have
risen. A pipe of really fine briarroot
costs today from $40 to $25 or $50. In the
past it would not have cost more than
IS at the outside" Now this may be
scientific truth. but the way most meer-
schaum-lovers of my acquaintance used
to color their pipes was by stuffing the
bottom of the bowl with a wad of wet
tobacco. fitting a false bowl over this
and drawing the smoke slowly from dry
tobacco. BY this process patiently per-
formed twice day for a month or so a
beautifully even coloring was attained.

Roosevelrs Crest.

What is the crest of the house of Roos-
e-velt? This question has been raised
since the publication of the following
curious society item: "One of the strang-
est wedding gifts was received by Mrs.
Theodore Douglas Robinson, who recent
ly laid aside her maiden name of Helen
Roosevelt. Mrs. Robinson received an cleo
trio brougham from Mr.. and Mrs. Emlen
Roosevelt. Vehicles of this sort are
rare bridal gift these days, and MRS
Emlen Roosevelt thus explained her
choice of a gift 1--WE did not know what
to give. Helen was receiving silver
dishes and vases and Jewels, and so
when we heard about the new brough-
ans we sent one of them" On the panels
of this carriage the crests of Miss Roose-
welt and Mr.. Robinson are Joined. The
Robinsons received exceptionally fine
gifts, because most of the members OF
their respective families are wealthy.
President Roosevelt sent silver platters
and Mrs. Aston, the grandmother of
young Mrs Robinson, sent diamond
brooch of goodly size. In fact, most of
the Astors sent jewels. J. Roosevelt
Roosevelt gave his daughter a diamond
and pearl tiara"
Frankly, I don't know. The name of
our present President, as 1 stated before,
is phllologically susceptible of two trans
lations. It may mean Rose-held or Rose
garden or 1t may signify Ruddyfleld, Red
field, Redyard or Rudyard, like the first
name of his ilustrious congener In liter
AZURE. the strenuous bard of Britain.
A crest some times is a pictorial sign
of a name. but just as often something
purely fanciful The President. be-
leve, is not addicted to the use of a
crest. He never used one on his station
cry when stationary in New York as po-
lice commissioner. A wag suggested the
other day that he might adopt two blood
roses with thorns rampant on field blue
set with forty-seven asterisks. As to
risks of rebuke from the Herald's college
in London, for adopting or inventing any
crest or armorial bearings Mr. Roose-
welt could eheerfully take them for his
family antedates most of those to which
the Heralds college vouchsafes its en-
dorsement.

Gossip About Astors.

Mrs. Aston, who returns to Newport this
week. Will open her house there in a few
days. which event will put an end to talk
of her having delayed the seasons formal
entertainments; though the number OF
dinners, luncheons and card parties which
have already taken place and which are
scheduled to occur soon would seem TO
indicate no great lack of gayeties thus
far.
Mrs. Aston will as usual, give a ball
soon after her return from Europe, pos
sibly| about the middle of August. Sew
eral other dances are promised, so those
who are looking for gay times are bound
to have them.
Col John Jacob Aston arrived today,
joining Mrs. Aston and their children here
for the summer. He came up on his
yacht the Nourmahal towing his cleo
trio launch. the Xylophone. Within a
short time after his arrival Colonel Astor
was at the Casino taking a hand in his
favorite game, lawn tennis.
The coming of Colonel Aston is expected
to give the season of tournaments just
what is needed to start 1t along. There
never were more men and women on the
courts here than now, but while last year,
with less players. there were a dozen
tournaments, this year none has yet been
arranged.
