Carrying commerciaIism to the Grave.
The visitor from abroad arriving
from the jamestown exposition went
about seeing New York, after which
he declared that no one need leave
that city to visit any exposition, for
there was more to be seen there
than anywhere else for the needs,
comfort and entertainment of man
from the cradle to the grave, albeit
the cradle is now a mere figure Of
speech, being tabooed by modern
science in the bringing up of the
infant. According to the curious fash
ion of New York, the visitor was then
taken to visit the cemeteries in the
vicinity. Near the entrance to one
of them florist does thriving trade.
Entering here the visitor and his es-
cort were conducted through wilder
ness of blooms by polite salesman
to department in the rear, where,
to the visitors astonshment, was
row of miniature graves decorated in
different styles according to the GUS
toner's desire. This" said the po-
lite salesman, is myrtle; this ivy,
and this is the plain green sod" The
visitor gazed in wonder while he de-
clared it had been truly said America

grave.-N. Y Times

A Reckless Venture.

Good in Doing Good.

The philosophical men who are can
wasting for the Young Mems Christian
Association are raising largo sums Of
money for that institution, and 1t will
be through no lack Of industry on
their part If the full 100000 Is not
subscribed by tho end Of the month.
In this they are doing good in an
objective way; but they are doing a
subjective good that is far better. They
are making their own hearts burn and
they are learning the lesson and power
OF cooperation. They are stimulating
and promoting public spirit. and the
success of this movement is the
promise OF success in other co-opera-
two movements to follow. It is a
campaign of education, campaign
OF civic uplift and progress. In this way
alone 1t will be worth far more than the

Adams on Lee.

| Somebody hns said that next to the
originator of good sentence IL the first
auoter OF It And 80 we may say that
next to great man Is he who has the
dlscernment to appreciate his greatness
and tho grace to acknowledge and pro-
claim It. It Is tribute 20 the head and
heart and character Of Mr.. Charles Fran
on various occasions spoken so beauti-
fully OF Lee, Of Virginia. and that he
has shown himself proud to honor the
memory of our chiefest chieftain.
Three times within the past several
years has he delivered orations on Lee
and tho cause for which he fought-in
Chicago, June II, 1902; In Charleston. De-
cember a2, 1909, and yesterday at the
Washington and Lee University. In all
these he spoke with perfect frankness and
offered no apologies either for himself or
for the Confederates. In his address yes
terday he repeated what he had said on
the two former occasions, that "every man
in the eleven States seeding from the
Union had in 1851, whether he would or
no, to decide for himself whether to ad-
here to his State or to the nation; and
I finally assert that, whichever way he
decided. II only he decided honestly, put
ting seH-interest behind him. he did
right"
The Southern Confederates ask no more
than this from Northern man or from
any man. They are content to have the
record read that they followed whore
their sense of duty led. and as between
the Federal government and the State
gave their allegiance to their State. And
Mr.. Adams is brave enough to admit that
had he been in General Lees place he
would have done as General Lee did and
followed the flag OF Virginia.
Suppose General Leo had done other
wise; suppose he had held his command
in the United States army and fought
against the South; suppose 1t had been
he instead OF Grant TO subdue the South
ern armies into surrender, would the ma

ton. say that of all the great characters
of tho Civil War-and I, was productive
of many whose names and deeds pos
terity Will long bear in recollection-there
was not one who passed away in the
serene atmosphere and with the gracious
bearing OF Lee. From beginning to end
those parting years of his will bear
closest scrutiny. There was about them
nothing venal, nothing auerulous, nothing
in any way sordid or disappointing. In
his case there was no anti-ciimax: for

Fort Fisher.

Elsewhere will be found an interesting
and instructive article on Fort Fisher,
reproduced from the Norfolk virginian
Of July IS, 1881. The article was written
by tho late Lieutenant Michael Glennan,
editor. one Of the most gallant and chiv-
alrous OF soldiers. and he was right In
saying that he spoke whereof he knew,
for he was member Of the garrison
which defended Fort Fisher and was in
both engagements.
1t had been stated by wilmington
paper that Colonel William Lamb did not
build Fort Fisher. Mr.. Glennan testified
that he not only built It, but commanded
1t. Colonel Lamb rendered the command
TO General whiting. but that brave and
generous soldier politely declined tho
honor. "a robler or Drawer soldier than
Whiting" said Mr.. Glennan, never drew
sword. and his conduct at Fort Fisher
WAS splendid heroism.''
In the same connection is published a
correspondence between Colonel Lamb and
President Davis, in which inaccuracies
in Mr.. Daviss book are pointed out and
admitted. Mr.. Davis inadvertently stated
that the garrison at Fort Fisher consisted
OF $500 mon. Colonel Lamb says that In
the first engagement there were only 667
men. and in the last only 1890. including
the sick and disabled. In copying Mr..
Davis's account OF this engagement. we
thought he was In error as to the num-
