HE TRIES BIT OF STRATEGY.
|z1za7EY7 1EIifOTT TGovyER'

When Policeman Barney Flynn APP
preached the door of the modest lit
tie house he knew that he had one Of
the hardest jobs of his life before him.
The captain wished to see Mrs. Miller.
His reasons for this desire were not
known to Policeman Flynn, and equal
ly unknown were his reasons for not
going in person to her house instead
Of sending for her. Many are the
strange things that happen in a police
station, and many are the strange mo-
tives that lie behind the strange ac-
lions. It might be a matter OF pride
In this instance or 1t might be mat
ter Of judgment. There is sometimes
an advantage not to be despised in be-
ing able TO select the place for an in
teryiew; the surroundings count for
much. and the one unfamiliar with
them is handicapped. So the captain,
presumably desiring to get certain
information supposed to be in the pos
session of this woman, had sent for
her-and she had refused to come.
This III itself was surprising, for 1t is
such circumstances. For a moment
the captain seemed on the point Of
going to the house himself, but he
thought better of it, and sent more
imperative message. The reply was
the same as before: She had done
nothing that put her at the beck and
call of the police. she didn't care to
see the captain, and she would not
come. Then he had sent for Flynn.
Il want to see that woman, and
want to see her here" he said. Never
mind why. I have few things here
that think will make the interview
more effective here than 1t would be
there. II she knows what I think she
knows / intend to get it out of her,
but-well, all you've got to do is to
get her to come with you"
"M-m-m, now, is that all?" asked
Policeman Flynn, who had heard Of
the fruitless efforts of two others in
that direction.
That's ALL" said the captain.
"She ray-fuses to come, an all I
ha-ave FIR to do Is to make her
Cha-ange her mlnd?
That's il exactly"
Are We married ma-an, captain?"
"Of course I am"
Il niver w'u'd ha-ave thought IT,"
commented Policeman Flynn, where
upon the captain laughed.
You're such an ingenious and re-
sourceful fellow, Flynn" he said, "that

that she refuses to come makes me

Flynn, as he retired. scratching his
head thoughtfully. "'Tis easy said"
This Is all that Flynn knew when ne

The woman made a stand in the
hall, and Policeman Flynn naturally
had to stop there also but he was
satisfied. He merely desired to get
far enough in. so that she could not
shut the door in his face.

Rsception Was Costly.

in honor of the bishop of her diocese.
She decided, however, that her already
famous drawing-room was not SUM-
GENTLY respondent to serve as a place
of reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
was yet time in which to make the
room more attractive and Nine Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry. but that was
not enough for reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW

tensive changes i'm the room without

PARTY LINES In 1908.

The wfseacres of all sorts are full of
predictions relating to 1.-THE democratic
future" One set Of them says nothing
should be done to maxi Wall street
less rich and prosperous. Mr.. Debs,
who pGlleG 900, GOO votes last week, and
Mr.. Watson, who polled 500 600 votes,
say on she other hand that the demo-
cratic party will 14ow &C to pieces.
One set isas near right as the other
that is to- say. neither is right. The
democratic party is almost as old as the
government itself, and it will last as
long as that government lasts. The
wise men will be Icompelled to choose
hereafter between a stand-pat repubIi-
can party, and a progressive demo-
cratic party, and the recent election has
no wrought any further or different
alignment. In 1908 there will be a
party that stands pat on privilege, and
there will be one that speaks for the
plain people, and the lines will be
drawn with clearness and definiteness.
The one party will draw its funds from
tariff bred trusts, the other will not
touch a dollar from that source and the
people will decide between them.
Neither Wall street nor the firm of
Debsa and Watson will be permitted to
write the democratic platform of 1908.
No one can now say what that platform
will be- simply because democratic
principles must be fitted to issues and
conditions of that year. Those issues
and conditions may be very different
from those of today. The party will
stand by the plain people, as it ever
has, and it will be in 1908 a very live
party, and that is all any one can pru-
IDENTIFY say at present. 1t is all that
need be said. Time and the old historic
party will do the rest.

Electricity Versus Steam.

The nineteenth century witnessed the
development of steam as a motive
power, the twentieth promises on the
other hand to be electricity's own cen
fury. The new century may not be
able to tell us what electrical energy is
but it will assuredly teach US how to
ben it to conform to the uses and
needs of mankind.
Steel will no doubt fight it's most
stubborn battle on the iron rails, for it
was there it accomplished it's most
wonderful work. But a syndicate of
foreign banker, led by Joseph Ramsay,
Jr., formerly president of the Wabash
railroad, are preparing to build a double
track airline electric road between New
York and Chicago. Many steps have
been taken. All surveys and plans
have been made: Grades are to be
favorable, and the line is to be sixty
five miles shorter than any steam line.
No steam is to be employed-possibly
no fuel will be consumed, for there are
plenty of water powers along the pro-
posed route of the new and perhaps
epochal line between New York ana
Chicago with Pittsburg as the chief
way station.

" ON CARDU|
Rural Free Delivery.

Postmaster Genera Cortelyou writes
in the Independent the story of rural
free delivery. In eight short years the
government has built. up a service that
gives employment to 50, 76S carriers,
who serves daily 3,32S, 500 families, or
Is, 667 1894 persons, or about one-siXth
of the population of the country.
Althogh the revenue derived from
the service is but Is per cent of the
cost, yet no one desires to see it with
drawn OF materially reduced. 1t is
binding the country together. 1t is
bringing the farm in touch with the
centers of trade and culture. It dis
seminates intelligence. 1t is in every re-
spect uplifting.
Alabama will soon have 1000 routes,
and then she will have about her pro-
portion of the new service. We did not
jump to secure routes as nimby as
Iowa or Ohio did, but we are coming
as rapidly perhaps as the conditions of
public sentimnet and the public high
ways would justify. The service will be
expanded from time to time, and an
effort should be made in each county to
render it comprehensive and satisfac-
tory.

SOUTHERN EMPLOYEES STRIKE.
Thrifty Men Engaged on Yards at
Greensboro Walk Out Because a
Conductor is DiSChOged--. Adjust
ment May Be Reached To-day.

Greensboro, Aug, 21.-Thirty or
more men employed on the yards of
the Southern Railway went on a strike
here this morning at 10 o'clock. The
cause of the strike was the discharge of
one of the yard conductors by Train
master Miller. When Yardmaster Rich
Bilbro heard of the action he went at
once to the trainmaster and the two men
had a heated conversation, as a result
of which Bilbro gave up his job.
When the men under Bilbro heard Of
his action they at once quit and all day
not a single yart engine was moved
and few if any cars were shifted. Super
intendent Andrews was at once Motif
ed. He had gone to Durham to spend
the day and returned on an afternoon
train. He will give his personal atten-
ton to the trouble and it is hoped it can
be remedied. Nearly all of the strikers
belong toy the fraternal organizations
and have the sympathy Of other en-
ployes.

NEW YORK pLITICs.

As the mouth of conventions APP
proaches, September, politics becomes
confused in New York land it goes rapid
other. On the republican side Governor
Higgins desires a denomination. He
controls the state patronage, Ex-Gov-
ernor Odell and Senator Plat are OPP
them goes the control of the machine.
Where President Roosevelt stands it is
not easy to say. 1t is believed, however,
hat he would prefer to see Mr.. Hughes
nominated. Hughes is the mar who
led the insurance Investigations to final
victory. The republican nominee will
be Higgins, Hughes or a dark horse. 1t
is any ones guess at present, and no
one seems to be able to name q man
who can poll the full republican vote in
a year when every vote will be need
ed.
Tumultuous as politics is in the g. O..
p. it is ten times more SO in the demo-
cratic ranks. Mr.. Hearst threatens an
independent candidacy, and SO does
District Attorney Jerome. Both are
democrats, and what is the democratic
convention to do under such circum-
tances? If Mr.. Hearst should become
governor he would doubtless remove
from office both Mayor Mcclellan and
District Attorney Jerome. Both Nc
Clellan and Jerome will combat Hearst,
but neither nor both can defeat his
nomination by h democratic conven-
ton if Tammany decides to support
him. What Tammany will do is the
chief puzzle of the month in New York
politics.
The conventions are both to meet on
September 25--the democrats at Buffalo,
and the republicans at Saratoga, and
until then no one will be able to see
clearly the nature of the November
contest.

FARMERS GREAT Loss
Hyde County People Feal
That Death of Horses
is Not the Worst.

Elizabeth City, n c., Aug. 2O-Mr.
J. e. Baum, of Fairfield, Hyde county,
was in town a while today en- route to
his home. He spoke very discourage
ingly about conditions in his county.
Some account of the disease which has
broken out among the horses was Civ
en- in a recent issue Of this paper. These
conditions, say Mr.. Baum, have not
been a~mellorated. The horses are still
dying and the loss to the farmers of
the county is enormous.
crave fears are entertained for the
health Of the people. Many are afraid
that after such a continuous wet spell
there will be a great deal Of sickness in
the county.
Some, however, are more hopeful.
in the meantime, there is no get
ting around the fact that the horses are
dying by the Wholesale.
