A Modern UtODia.

Has the modern Utopia been dis
covered? 1t seems at least hat an is
land of contented people has been
brought to light. Tristan D'Achunha
is a rock island half way between
Cape Horn and the Cape of Good
Hope. and it has a population OF
seventy-five people. They have no
laws, no taxes, no money, no post
office. no schools, no shops, no poll
tics and no Jail. The inhabitants, liv-
ing upon h scanty produce of the
land and leading inactive lives, de-
clare that they are perfectly happy.
Their morals are good and it is their
boast that no crime has ever been
committed On their island. The only
communication which these people
have with the world is through a
British man-of-war which touches
there once a year. The island is
known to navigators as the ~loneliest
inhabited spot in the world. Recent
ly England offered to transport the in
habitants to South Africa, where every
colonist would be given a fertile tract
of land in a country which was rap
idly developing. Much to the aston
ishment of the English government.
the offer was courteously declined.
What a paradise D'Achunha would be
for tramps if they only had some way
of getting there.-Charlotte Chronicle.

A Great Newspapers Home.

The New York Times, one of the fin
try, celebrated the new e by moving
into it's new home i'll The Times square.
The moving of this great newspaper
plant was accomplished without miss
ing an issue of the paper. The Times
building is a wonderful piece Of archi-
lecture, and is worth than passing
notice. A special edition of the paper
has been received at The Chronicle Of
fee. This edition is devoted entirely tic
a description of The Times new home.
Here are some items: The building is
the city'S talleSt structure from base
to top being thirty-on> stories with
an extreme heiiht Of 476 feet; that q
new record in steel tonnage has been
made in it's construction, as it contains
a larger per cent. of steel to cubical
contents than any other office building,
having at the same time the strongest
and %stiffest steel frame structure of
similar dimensions ever erected. The
presses are located fifty-five feet below
the level of the street, while the paper
is written and set up from the four
teenth to the twenty-fifth f1oor TIL
foundations of the present completed
building were laid in June, 1902, and
since then Ivy days were lOSt by StrlkeS
and IS days by baa weather. AS a mat
ter of course all OF the equipments OF
the building is of The best and most m
proved kind. Only a paper whose i'm
mense popularity would bring in ar
equal degree Of prosperity could afford
such a home as this. The Times de-
serves both it's popularity and it's suc1
cess. for it is the one model newspaper
of the country, in the character of the
news which it gives and the n II
which it gives it.-Charlotte Chronicle

AN INCONSIDERATE NEIGHBOR

Mr.. w. C. Barden had his wrist right.
badly hurt saturday night in capturing
a turkey tina came to his home, in
north Kinston, to roost. 1t is presumed
by Mr.. Barden that the turkey having
lost all his relatives and friends in the
Christmas feasts came to give himself
up for New Years rather than live a
lonely life, and roasted on the fence.
Mr.. Barden caught the turkey by the
legs and it Topped over the fence and
pulled Mr.. Barden's hand hard down on
the fence and bruised ii badly. He shut
the turkey up and if any neighbors
have lost a turkey they can find him at
Mr.. Barden's.-Kinston Free Press.

tween a white man and a darkey. Had

QUARREL AMONG THEMSELVES.
No Attention Paid to Threat to 90,

Chicago, May 30.-While numerous
small riots we're In progress both In
the downtown streets and In the lum
Der districts, the leaders of the team
sters' strike and the officials OF the
building trades we're engaged In quar-.
rels Of their own.
The action of the building trades
in withdrawing from the teamsters
their financial and moral support an
gered the teamsters, and they lost
no time In calling upon the repre-
sentatiyes of the building trades and
demanding to know what they meant
by going back on the teamsters in
the thick Of the fight. 1t was made
plain to the teamsters that in the
opinion of the trades they had over,
stepped their jurisdiction in causing
members of their union to do con-
structive work. The particular
cause of complaint was that team.
sters employed in handling safes and
vaults had placed them in buildings.
This part Of the work. the building
trades contended belongs to them
President Shea of the Transfers
union, declared that he would order
out every safe mover and machin-
cry rigger in the city and stop work
on all buildings where the members
of the building trades are employed.
No attention was paid to this threat
by the building trades representatives
and finally committee, composed OF
Michael Casey of San rancisco; John
Sheridan, of Chicago, and Ed Gould
of New York, all members of the exc
cutive council of the teamsters, was
appointed to confer with the build
Ing trades over the matter of juris-
diction. No time was specified for
the meeting.
Several, new efforts were made dur
Ing the day to settle the strike, but
none Of them amounted to anything.
The Chicago Team Owners Associa
ton made another effort to induce
the teamsters to arbitrate the ques-
ton of delivering goods to boycotted
houses. The Chicago Masons and
Builders Association offered its SER
vices to arbitrate all things connect
ed with the strike.
