dition that is gratifying to say the
least. In the light of these facts il
might not be amiss to particularize in
few instances:
Mr. Horner Winston, son of ex-
Judge Robert w. Winston, of Durham,
is one of the Rhodes scholars at OK
ford University, England, where he is
making splendid record among men
from every part of the world
A statement sent out from West
Point furnishes the information that
Mr.. Ernest Graves of this State, form
erly a student at the University of
North Carolina, but now in the gradu-
ating class at United States Military
Academy, is one of the honor men of
his class, ranking second Not only
does he stand in the front rank as far
as scholarship is concerned but has
won unusual distinction in athletics
also In taking the leadership in these
fields of endeaVOr Mr.. Graves is only
continuing the splendid record he
made while a student at Chapel HILL
where he was Familiarity known as
"Pot" Graves, and where he was re-
garded as a thorough student, a splen-
did athlete and popular young man.
We learn from a press dispatch
that the graduate students of Harvard
University are to be represented at
the commencement exercises this year
by two North Carolinians. Mr.. Chas.
H. Johnson, of Chapel Hill, N. c., a
graduate of the University, will rep
resent the candidates for the degree
of doctor of philosophy having been
selected by them, while the Harvard
faculty has selected Mr. w. A. Lam
beth. of brownsville, N. c., a graduate
of Trinity College. to deliver the ora
ton at commencement in behalf of
the graduate students. He will speak
on "The Spirit of the Present South.
Last year Mr.. Lambeth won honOrs at
Yale while the year before he won the
medal in the Southern inter collegiate
oratorical contest.
Mr.. William Kenneth Boyd a native
of North Carolina, will receive degree
at Columbia University this year hav-
| ing won high distinction. in the field Of
European history. Something of his
high standing may be learned from
the fact that he has been holding a
University fellowship, which in itself
is esteemed a high htonor
Messrs. j. r. Hamilton and l.. l..
Hendren, the latter a brother of Mr.,
| w. M. Hendren, of this city have
both taken an unusually high stand at
Columbia University the former in
| history and the latter in physics. Mr..
Hamilton has been holding a fellow
| ship while Mr.. Hendren has had the
enviable position of assistant instruc-
| tor. Both of these hOnors are much
sought and the fact that they have
| been won by North Carolinians is in
deed significant.
Examples of the high standing taken
| by North Carolina boys at the leading
educational institutions of the country
might be continued but those enumer-
ated will suffice to give further evil
dence of the fact that North Carolina
boys can generally be depended upon

and i'm whatever company they may be

ciple being elucidated. But he paid
Judge Tourgee 2. high compliment, as
the context of his remarks will show.
He said: (the narrative form of re-
port is here used for brevity and ex-
plification:) Good horse sense, you
will find by studying the lives of
great lawyers and jurists, as we'll as
physicians, joined to thorough knowl-
edge of horn book, anxious and bed
rock fundamentals, is the secret of
success in any profession, measuring
success by the rule of lasting, but
often posthumus measurement
Some of the best judges of law on
the bench, most often sustained by
the Supreme court are men of rugged
character and unfinished literary
training, but of strong horse sense
like old Cloud, who is always made
fun of but seldom over-ruled.
There's Tourgee, of fine literary
and mental acumen but with plenty
of horse sense who was made a
Judge before he was licensed to prac
tice law. But he made one of the
best of our judges of Law or Equity,
and it was he too who destroyed our
Common Law system of practice and
pleading and substituted the Code
of Civil Procedure New York in
novation, which we judges leave to
Rodman to untangle on the supreme
court bench. Tourgee found he
could be one of the new issue judges.
and he came out here to my house
between the sessions of the Supreme
court to get me to give him an eXam1-
nation and grant him a license to
practice. He seemed to think
would do anything he asked. told
him the Supreme court rule set

applicants. which was at the begin
ming of each term in January and

me of his prospective judgeship, that
felt of him to see if he knew any
common law. and found he knew the
literature but not the principles, and

More Ahont soil Aciditr.

A station chemist and personal
friend of the Editor, in a personal
letter, which we take the liberty to
quote, makes the following comments
on the recent editorial in which we
gave DR.. Thorne's ideas in regard to
soil acidity: Il have been following
your discussion of soil acidity, and
must note that DR., Thorne has made
some errors in the letter published
in a recent issue. He is mistaken in
saying that acid phosphate is com
posed of equal parts of Sulphuric acid
and that phosphate of i$me known
as tri-calcic or bone phcspL te. Acid
phosphate is made from pprOxi-
mately equal parts of sulphLric acid

The Prairies.

Have YOU forgot the praries, where
We gathered flowers with dew;
The wanton breezes caught you hair,
Against my cheek its meshes blew
A sea of grass that scarcely stirred
Gods verdant vast, and virgin park;
Hand clasped in hand entranced we
heard
The first mad music of the lark!
There was radiance Ger the earth
The kindly face of nature smiled;
So happy seemed she at the birth
OF spring, her favrite, fondest
child!
The smoke curled upward through the
grove,
Where rowing Indians camped at
night;
Our hearts were light with life and
The fateful future--all too bright!

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature OF
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrh@a,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods, causing back
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night. and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or.

A little performance, not on the usual
programme, was enacted for Sunday
promenaders in Riverside Park While

"Will you look at that?" said the

men came across the driveway at One
Hundred and Ninth street, each push
ing baby carriage-two babies to the
load.
When this unusual procession reached
the path for pedestrians and turned,
three abreast, toward Grants Tomb,
the comments that were made were as
amusing as they were varied.

TUNNEL MURDER MYSTERY
Young Woman Victim Of 4 Strange
Tragedy in England.
Marks on Mary Moneys Body Indicate
That She Was Thrown From Train
--RecalIs Lefroy's Crime.

London. Another mysterious railway
murder has come to light and there are
many features of the case that recall
the brutal staying Of Frederick Gold
by Percy LEROY, the notorious burglar
and bank robber. on June q, 1881.
This time the victim is a woman, Mary
Money, twenty-five years old, whose
body was terribly mutilated when it
was found lying near the railroad
tracks.
The bulldogs Of Scotland Yard who
are working on the case call it Lee
troy murder from the character Of the
crime. though Percy LEROY was prop
erly hanged for his brutal killing A
| theory is advanced that it may be the
work of one of the LEROY family, for
every member of this notorious family
has been a criminal for the past three
| generations.
Mary Money was murdered in the
Merstham Tunnel of the London and
Southwestern Railway. LEROY com
mitted his crime in the same tunnel.
though under different conditions, it
much in the same manner
Mary Money was assaulted and slain,
| it is clear, in a compartment in which
she and her murderer were the only
| passengers and her body was thrown
| out the windows.
A long veil was tightly wedged in
the young womans mouth. showing
! that when the murderer attacked her
he made it impossible for her to cry
out and alarm the guard Then he con-
| summated his crime while the train
was passing through one of the pitch
| dark reaches of the tunnel
The young woman left her home on
Sunday evening saying she would not
be gone long. She was in good health
and spirits.
The LEROY family have kept the
police in the neighborhood of Bradford,
| Yorkshire, busy for the past hundred
| years. Percy LEROY and his brother
Arthur, known as "Shoddy" LEROY,
were regarded by the police of Scot
| land Yard as the two most dangerous
criminals in Great Britain. Before
Arthur was fifteen years old he COM
mitted a burglary and was sentenced
! to fifteen years imprisonment.
When he got out he and his brother
became partners of Charles Peace, the
cleverest burglar the world has ever
known. Peace became wealthy man,
owned his carriage and country home
and moved i'll excellent society All
this time, assisted by the two Lefroys;
he robbed right and left, and Il least
three policemen who interrupted the
trio fell victims to their unerring re-
volvers.
When Peace was finally captured Lee
troy turned States evidence against
him. He told how Peace would gain
the confidence of servant girls, learn
the run of the houses he wished to rob
and then after succeeding, calmly muir.
der the girls. He was convicted and
hanged.
Not long after this "Shoddy" LEROY
was arrested and sent back to prison
While he was serving his term his
brother murdered Frederick Gold. an
elderly merchant, after robbing him
He was caught and hanged.

Peaches from various points in the
State are being shipped to Stockton
and placed in cold storage. The Ma
tional Ice Company has found by ex-
perimenting that it can freeze peaches
and keep them three months easily
Last year the experiment was made
successfully, and this year the com
pany has engaged in storing fruit as a
business.
Already there are 5000 boxes OF
peaches on ice at the local plant. The
greater part of them came from the
warm regions of Fresno. These
peaches were picked moderately green
By freezing them they are kept from
ripening. Three months from now
they will be placed upon the market

an early crop this season. there was
every expectation of prices for pudding
raisins being forced up by an influen-
tial combine. The stocks in bond were
larger by 1000 tons in July, 1904. than
they were for the corresponding period
this year. The unusually early raisin
harvest of Denia will render such a
movement impossible. Reports from
all Spanish raisin-exporting and pack
