Raleigh. y. e.. Nov. 13. l9OI.j
The Morning Post OF Raleigh shut
fed off its mortal coil Sunday morE-
ing after a period of eight years of
active life, the paper having been es-
tablished November Both, 1897
While the paper has not been finan-
cial success, especially OF late years,
according to the statement OF the
paper, Ii fact due largely to the high
pric, demanded for the press service
OF general news which it has received,
it will hardly be denied by its most
illiberal opponent that it did not fail
to help accomplish some of the re-
suits which its promoters designed.
1t can be said by every newspaper
man in North Carolina and other
capable Judges of what constitutes Il
newspaper, in the strict meaning of
the term, that the Morning Post was
no slouch in that line. Most OF the
time it has had one of the best edi-
, torial staffs, all the way through,
and its personnel was never better
than on the night OF the paper s
DEATH From its editOr-in-chief, its
splendid Washington correspondent

that has never been equalled in North
Carolina, in the opinion OF this writer,
the best city editor that Raleigh has
known in many years, and "middlin@
good, and experienced and faithful
State and general press handlers
and reporters, it would have been an
| ineXcusable omission if the Morning

anything but first-class news

But, as every newspaper man o
experience knows, it is not always
the best newspaper that collects the
most sheckels, and the Post seems
not to have been no exception.

which it's live and capable publisher

Cleveland on Character.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland.
who has been called 1.-The foremost
private citizen in the world, deliver
ed a speech at theunveiling of mon
ument to j. Sterling Morton which
should be read 10y everyone and es-
pecially by every young man just en-
tering upon the busy, bustling life of
today.
The tribute paid by the living to
the dead friend will touch the hear
which believes in true friendship, but
added to this tribute is plea for Il
clearer, higher view of life, its duties
and its obligations, which stretches
beyond the local color of its setting
and comes like Il trumpet-call to
right by n man who has tasted of
life's success and gone on his way as
he saw it. needless of the clamOr of
the multitude.
What could he finer or truer than
this?
Here we should learn that charac-
ter, uncorrupted by the contagion of
ignoble things. and weakened by the
corrOsion of sordidneSs and money
madness, is the cornerstone of every
truly useful life, and OF every genu-
inely noble achievement. We shall
do violence to the moral sense which
God has vouchsafed to humanity if
amid the surroundings we close our
minds to the truth, that character
represents the real value of u man
according to the unaltera ble stan
dard OF fine gold: and that it differs
immeasurably from reputation,w which
measures mans worth by the shift
ing and untrue standards of mean
ambition or successful cupidity. We
have fallen upon days when our peo-
pie are more than ever turning away
from their old faith in the saving
grace OF character, and tlocking to
the worship of money-making idols.
Daily and hourly in the light OF in
vestigation and exposure character
less lives are seen in appalling num-
bers, without chart or compass,
crowded upon the rocks and shoals
OF faithlessness and breach OF trust.
How i'll have these wretched lives eX-
changed the safe harbor of honor
and usefulness which character and
rectitude point out, for Il wild and
headlong rush over unknown seas in
consuming search for SELF
The Sheriff has made many ene-
miles, but no one can accuse him of
not having the courage OF his convic-
tions, and no one can say that some
at least of those convictions are not
worthy of imitation by his country
men.
The warning is timely and coming
from a man like MIR. Cleveland should
be OF especial value. Not only should
every young man read what he has
to say on the subject of character
building, but he should take it to
heart and profit by it.

LONDON June 1o.-The Earl Of Malmes-

thy Calthorpe. fourth daughter Of Lord
and Lady Calthorpe, was recently cele-
brated nj great style. is certainly one OF
the lucky ones. Good fortune attended
his birth. In the important matter. of
getting born he succeeded in beating his
twin brother, and that slight seniority
has suficed to make him peer and the
owner Of one OF the most delightful and
romantic old places in England. The
brother who so narrowly missed the fam
fly inheritance has not even a barren
title 10 console him, but is doomed to go
through life as plain Charles Harris.
Lord Malmesbury is 81 years old. high
churchmsn and a strong Conservative.
He once acted as private secretary TO
Lord Beauchamp during the latter's term
OF Governorship in New South Wales.
There was very little work attached TO
II, but il sufficed to convince the lucky
twin that he was not cut out for q siren
Uous existence. He hunts, shoots and

out OF life. His bride is only l9 years old,
rather dark and with fine eyes and gives
promise OF blossoming into a beauty in
few years. She was raised in the coun-
Try and kept there pretty near all her
life, SO that society has had no chance 10
spoil her.
Heron Court, Lord Malmesbury's coun-
try home. is one of the show places Of
Hampshire. The domain is on two riv-
ers, the Avon and the Stour, and the lat
ter-which in the sea son is covered with
water lilies-runs near the house, through
the grounds and garden But the great
beauty Of the place lies in its forest or
rhododendrors. which in late spring af-

ranging from msuve and violet TO the
richest crimson. For the rest the grounds
are large and. well wooded and the wild
fowl shooting is among the best in the
country.
The place is rich in historic associa-
tons. II formed part Of the estate of

Tyrreli rode hotfoot from the murder of
Rufus. and for many z long year after
that ride the manor had to pay forfeit
for not having stopped the regicide at the
ford, which has ever since been called
Tyrrelrs ford. The time has been when
the Malmesbury cellars had marvelously
fire stores OF old wines and spirits for
which never q merchants bill was forth

snugglers had secure hiding places. and

buildings in Christiania and portraits of

dows. which attract small crowds, there
are no visible signs here that Norway is
in the throes of revolution. Norwegian
and Swedish merchants continue business
uninterruptedly..
A director of the National Bank said
to-day that interstate deals involving
thousands of pounds and providing for
future payments are being signed daily
as usual. The officials here express con-
fidence that Sweden finally viii accept the

While determination is evident every
