DONATION PARTY AT KENToN PARSONAGE
Pastor and Mrs. D. F. mcFauI Overwhelmed
By Company of Friends Friday Night.

Last Friday evening will be loug re-
membered by the pastor of Kenton
and his family. On that evening they
received what indeed may be called
genuine surprise. The people came to
the parsonage in great numbers bring
ing with them valuable tokens of ap-
probation. The tables were laden
with the good things they brought.
The kitchen was filled with their
generous gifts. Even Dixie was not
forgotten. When Brother Clark made
his speech, and the box, containing
the valuable gifts intended for Mrs.
MclEaul, was opened, their eyes were
moistened, their hearts filled with love
and gratitude. After due considera-
tion, the pastor has about arrived at
the conviction that Rev. d. S. CLARK,
lately appointed collector of the port
of Wilmington, is largely responsible
for this invasion. After massing his
invading army in ambush in Brother
Downs house till the preacher passed
by, be then comes innocently to the
prayer meeting, and afterwards accom-
panies the preacher home, that he may
enjoy the shock and surprise. And he
enjoyed it. After the preacher re-
covered his breath, there was music
and prayer, and the pastor and wife
expressed their gratitude in sincere
thanks.

The Stanford poison case promises to take
a place among the most celebrated in his
tory Upon it's face it is a complete puzzle.
Who could have done the thing? What was
the motive? Why was such a woman
singled out for such fate, and how was
the crime accomplished after warning
had been given by a previous attempt?
How were the safeguards of a devoted en-
courage passed and the fatal mixture at
last administered
Here was woman many years of whose
life had been devoted to the noblest and
most unselish ends and whose means had
enabled her to carry out on a large and
even magnificent scale the great ends she
had in view. She had known sorrow in its
acutest form. Changing the poets phrase
little, it may be said that she had learned
in suffering what she was teaching in her
benefcent activities. Blessed with but one
child. he had been taken from her just as
he had attained manhood. From that hour
she transferred her affections to humanity.
and joined with her husband In lavish gifts
to education and religion. Since her hus-
bands death she had done his part as well
as her own toward carrying forward their
mutual plans, and in doing so had attracted
the attention and the unstinted admiration
of the educated world.
What was there. therefore. to make this
woman the object Of prisoners wrath?

Regulate the Bands.

Much discord will be avoided and the ar
tistic effectiveness of tomorrows parade
will be greatly enhanced if instructions are
issued to all bandmasters to adopt some
system of performances instead of begin
ming their music whenever they individually
please. In all previous great parades in this
city more or less confusion has been caused
by the jangling of bands placed close to-
If each leader is cautioned to start his mu-
sicians only when the band Immediately
ahead has ceased to play there will be suf-
fcient intervals between the bands in ac-
ton to reduce the interference of selec-
tons to a minimum. BY this means, too
one band would be always playing within
close hearing of every spectator along the
line of march. Some of the marching or
CARNATIONS comprise only a few score OF
men, and those in the last ranks are dis
turbed and thrown out of step by the con-
fiicting sounds proceeding from their own
musicians and those of the following body.
This gives the parade, when viewed in per-
spective. a wobbly, ragged appearance, re-
fleeing discredit upon the marchers which
they do not actually deserve. The neces-
sary orders can easily be given with suffl-
cient authority to enforce them if the mat
ter is taken up in season by those in charge
of the procession.

Tariff Revision.

The resolution adopted by the Senate
yesterday authorizing and directing the
finance committee of that body to sit dur
ing the recess and investigate customs and
internal revenue taxes, Is an admirable step
in the direction of tariff revision. All
friends of revision should hail it with live
iy satisfaction.
The excuse for non-action at this ses-
sion on the tariff question was the same
as in the case of the railroad rates. 1t
was too large a question to be dealt with
in a limited time. Too great interests
were involved to make hasty action safe.
Let us wait until there was time enough,
and until matters had been threshed out a
little more. What was the revision pro-
gram? How far did it reach? How much
of the Dingley law was to be reshaped?
Why go into the work until it had been
cut out by competent hands?
1t must be admitted that the revisionists
have so far dealt little too much in gen.
eralities. The inequalities in some cases
are plain they need not be named, al
though they are named whenever the sub
ject is mentioned. But taking the matter
by and large no adequate idea has yet been
presented of just what is necessary to bring
the Dingley law up to date, and make it fit
the conditions of this day admirably as
it did the conditions of the day when it
went into effect.
Experts can easily solve this matter,
and those who desire action by the next
Congress, and as members of that body
will be present to urge action, should lose
no time in preparing themselves for the
fray. 1t is going to be a very spirited con-
test. The standpatters are getting ready to
6iSnnta of he nd
represent interests that are powerfully in
trenched in the good things of this world.
Were they permitted to have their way
there would be no change at all in the tariff
law, but schedules, long since outgrown,
| would be continued in operation until a
crash of some kind made action absolutely
necessary.

BRYAN Really a Prophet.

A noteworthy incident of the days news
is the vindication of William Jennings
Bryan. 1t is of particular significance, as 1t
comes on the eve of the induction of re-
publican President, or, more properly speak
ing. the induction of an American President
elected by the votes of republicans.
Mr.. Bryan is really prophet True, he
has been at times without much honor In
his own country and even in his own state.
but this only lends strength to his claim
as prophet. 1t is delightful to feel that
Mr.. Bryan is not unworthy of the conf
dence reposed in him, and that at last he
has revealed one of those qualities usually
found in seventh sons of seventh daughters.
This dispatch came over the wires last
night:
EAST LIVERPOOL, March Pin connec-
ton with the $5OO,0OO fire in this city on
Tuesday night a peculiar coincidence is re-
lated by the members of the family or eX-
Congressman George P. 1kirt, who owned
one of the finest Of the many buildings
burned. Early in the week w. j. Bryan
who lectured here, was the guest OF Dr.
Ikirt, who served with him in Congress
Mr.. Bryan did not leave town until Tues
day morning, but then he told the family
of a dream which had greatly impressed
him. In his slumbers he had visions OF
great conf1agration, in which the 1k1rts
seemed to be great losers. He saw every
one of the family in his dream, he said, and
now it is recalled as being strangely like
prophecy.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Bryan made
this successful prophecy in a dream. Many
persons who have scorned Mr.. Bryan's gift
of prophecy have cheerfully admitted his
ability as dreamer.
1t is appropriate to remark that if man
will only persist in making prophecies he
will probably guess right once in a while.

Jefferson's Inauguration.

paragraph in Mr.. Curtis letter in We'd
nesday's Star brought timely comfort to us
all AT this time every four years the old
yarn about MIR. Jefferson's first Inaugural
ton is quoted TO the national shame The
picture of the solitary horseman riding to
the Capitol attired in homespun, hitching
his steed to rough paling and, after TAX
ing the oath of office. remounting and rid
ing of unattended, Is thrown upon the can
vas to show how far We have degenerated
now childish and cheap we have become in
our passion for glitter and parade.
Mr.. Curtis, in a few words, disposes of
the myth, and gives us, unadorned, the cold
facts They will bear reprinting:
AT his first Inauguration Jefferson was
escorted from Conrad's boarding house.

to the steps of the Capitol by battalion of
regular soldiers and battery from Alex

ter of Massachusetts. Secretary of the
Treasury, and Benjamin Stoddard, Secre-
tary of the Navy-the only members of

cency to remain In Washington. The re-
firing President, to the humiliation of his
friends, fed by his carriage to Baltimore

The Rough Riders,

The visiting Rough Riders miss the point.
Their mounts are Ior the purpose of testing
their skill. They are famous for persuad-
ing a horse whose disposition il is to walk
on two legs to obey the divine plan and
walk on four. They are wonder workers in
that way. Now we all want to see
them take good sober old brute, whose
docilty is deep-seated. and whose gait calls
az all times for four legs thoughtfully put
down, and have him walk on two legs. 1t
is poor rule that won't work both ways.
Under the rule of a rider entirely great a
horse may be made to do nearly anything.
Let these wizards of the saddle take heart
They have now the chance of their lives.
If they can transform an average artillery
plug into a prancing steed of beauty. great
er fame will be theirs than ever they have
derived from busting bronchos

What was there to be gained by putting her
out of the way by cruel means? She seems
to have been a kind mistress, for some Of
her servants had been in her employ for
years. Her will was made. Her purposes
with respect to the property she still re-
tanned were well known. She was ad-
vanced in years, and had not long to 1--we
in any event.
The subject is profoundly pathetic, and
has side other than that appealing to the
psychologist. 1t is impossible to recall In
all the story either of fact or fiction more
striking picture than this aged and lonely
woman fleeing from home to escape death
by hidden means only to meet it at a dis
lance among strangers, and in the very
form in which she had tried to elude 1t.

like a fugitive to avoid assisting at the IN
auguration of the man who defeated him
for reelection. Jefferson wore "a blue coat,
thick gray-colored waistcoat with red
under-waisteoat Tapped over it, green vel
yeteen breaches with pearl buttons, yarn
stockings and slippers
AT his second Inauguration he rode in
fine imported French coach drawn by four
magnificent horses, for which he paid
81 600 a very large sum in those days anu
his coachmen and footmen were dressed In
livery similar to that used by the royal
families in England and France"
1t is anus ng to learn how the myth orfgi-
mated. From the first, it seems, our wags
have exercised themselves at the expense OF
English travellers. This yarn was spun to
quiz strolling Englishman. and to make
game of the English pomp in the corona
ton of a sovereign "See," said these
merry fellows, ''how simple a thing it is in
our hands. Mr.. Jefferson rides up like a
farmer on market day in town, lights and
bitches, qualities under the forms of law.
and all is over in a few minutes And the
visitor set it down as religious truth.
But if the joke was first on the English
man, it has later been on ourselves. We
have taken from him as truth the yarn he
first took from us. No story is better
grounded in our traditions than this of Mr.
unattended and accepting the great trust
of the people. 1t is the origin of the spell
binders gable about "Jeffersonian SIM
plicity," and has done duty from every
stump in the Union. And, notwithstanding
the facts in the case, it will continue to DO
duty. A neatly constructed myth Is never
put entirely out of business.
But we may all believe that IL the sage
of Monticello were with us now, either as
chief actor, or only as looker-on, the ar
rangements for tomorrow would be entirely
in keeping with his tastes and acceptable to
him in every way

Great American Beggars.
From the Kansas City Star.

There used to be paper published in
Arkansas called 1.-The Thomas Cat" It's
chief claim to remembrance was its motto:
God help the rich; the poor can beg
And this is worthy to be recalled If for no
other reason than that the very, very rich
have confscated to their own uses even
that dernier prerogative of the very poor
begging. Were there ever such a lot OF
beggars-not even sturdy beggars"-as the
great, overfed trusts Of the United States!
They are the misery sort of beggars who
whimper and whine at the thought of a
shrinkage of their hoard They beg for
protection" They cry in terror that they
cannot do business If one title Of their
privileges is abated With absolute shame
lessness they call themselves Infant in
dustries." They correspond to what the
schoolboys in Missouri call '1ummixes"-
