He says: Practically al of the French machines represented by up-to-date agents in the field and that the men in the garages understand French ma- chimes better because they work with them more, and, perhaps, because of other reasons. To get a Brazilian in tehested in an American car is diff1- cult, but it is done nevertheless, and after he is once interested and after he investigates there is a chance of selling him an American machine, pro- vided that at the same time he is willing to do business as the American company says he must-meet its terms subscribe to its specifications, bear with more or less careless manner of shipment on slow steamers, and in other ways and manners depart from the accustomed methods of doing bus mess in Brazil,

CLERKS SIGNED BONDS.
Fourteen of Them Were Appointed As.
 sistant Secretaries for Purpose.


 Fourteen assistant secretarles chosen from the clerks of the New Haven road were appointed recently by order of the directors to John G. Parker, secretary of the company. The reason for this large increase in the number of rail- road officials was because by law it is necessary that officials of the company shall sign all bonds issued by the com pany. There were 2aO.OO0 bonds to be signed and the best penmen in the em- plov of the road are said to have been selected. As soon as Major Isaac Brom- ley and William Greenough of the tpeasurer's office leave for France with the bonds. the fourteen assistant sec retaries will probably resign.

Earth's Population.
New York Worldly

(New York Worldly
The question as to the number of
human beings that ever lived on this
globe, is, of course, unanswerable,
authorities on this subject differ so
widely. The Bible places the date
of creation at about 1000 B. c., Lat
ter-day geologists figure anywhere
from 10000 to 100000 years, and
John Fiske, one of the most eminent
authorities, gives good reasons for
supposihg human beings to have
existed for half million years.
To-day we estimate the earth's
population at !, SOC, 900, ,OOO--a very
generous estimate. One-half of this
population is female. Experience
tables show that there are three
generations in every century.
From these slender data it is but
a simple mathematical calculation in
progression toward the year in which
the first pair of human beings ap-
peared on earth. Upon this hy-
pothesis the year 5000 B. C. brings
us down to about three million peo-
pie. If we accept and from this
point retrace our steps to the present
day-say 1900 A. Dive arrived at
the conclusion that a total Of IT,
600, 900, 900 human beings have been
born to date, of which number only
about l 500, 100000 are alive to-day.
Had every individual body been
preserved in casket measuring on
an everage 6x2x2 feet, all could have
been buried in Oklahoma's area of
49, 700 square miles, and liberal
allowance Of space for paths and
driveways been left. Or all the cof-
fins could have been dropped into
Lake Superior without endangering
the inhabitants of it's shores on ac-
count of possible tidal wave. The
present living population of 1,50O,-
600, 900 persons can find standing
room on Staten Island, in New York
harbor.
In the State Of Texas you could
place each man, woman and child
seventy feet apart, giving each 4,900
square feet Of land-room sufficient
for house, cattle and vegetable gar
den.
Within the limits of these United
States each living human being to-
day could have $4,000 square feet,
or they could be placed 225 lineal
feet apart.
The next time you hear anybody
talking "overpopulation" you can
shut him up by telling him that you
can packed the whole lot, 800, 900.

A Lost Chord.

(By Adelaide Anna Proctor.)
Seated one day at the organ,
Twas weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wondered idly
Over the noisy keys.
| do not know what l was playing,
Or what l was dreaming then,
But struck one chord of music,
Like the sound of great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close Of Angels Psalm,
And it laid on my fevered spirit
With a touch Of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From every discordant life.
1t linked all preplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence
As if it were 10th to cease.
| have sought, but | seek it vainly,
That one lost chord devine,
Which came from the soul of the or.
gan,
And entered into mine.
1t may be that Deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again,
1t may be that only in Heaven
| shall hear that grand Amen.

NORTH CAROLINHS SECESSION 0RDI.
NANCE.
Prepared by Judah P. Benjamin.

'Let me tell you a little story"
said Col. John Nichols to a Times
man this morning. ''The story"
said he, may not interest many Of
your readers, because few of them
were living here when the occur
ances Of which l speak took place.
Some of the older citizens of the
state will remember the facts.
"On May 20, 1861, the convention
called for the purpose passed the or
dinance of secession, and North Car
olina took her place with her sister
states in the Southern Confederacy.
Hon. George F. Badger, who was
one of the delegates from Wake
county, offered series of resolU-
lions looking to the separation of
the state from the Union. Hon.
Burton Craige, a delegate from
Rowan county, and who was credit
ed with being Governor Ellis per-
sonal representative in the conven-
tion,, offered a substitute for Mr..
Badgers resolution which was
adopted.
'There was much speculation as to
the author of Mr.. Craig's resolution
or ordinance of secession. The his
tory of this instrument was known
to few, but | have never seen any
publication of the facts and circum-
stances of its preparation. My in
formation came to me in a confden-
tial manner at the time, and from a
source that l believe was strictly re-
liable.
"a few days before the convening
of the state convention, May 20,
1861, Governor Ellis sent trusted
young man from Raleigh to Mont
gomery, Alabama at that time the
capital of the Confederacy-with a
sealed package to President Jefferson
Davis, with the strict Injunction to
deliver it in person to Mr.. Davis, and
await his reply. On Saturday before
the convention met this young man,
the confidential messenger of Gov
ernor Ellis, returned with sealed
package and delivered it to his Excel
lency. That package contained the
ordinance of secession, prepared by
Judah P. Benjamin, and which was
adopted by the state convention.
"Now to the point. That young
man was a gallant young North Car
Gilman, and had been a medical stu
dent, though | am inclined to the
belief that he had not graduated, but
! did valuable hospital work during
the war. At the close of hostilities
he left the state, and has travelled
much and been employed in various
avocations. Misfortune overlook him
and unable to longer battle with the
world for support in his enfeebled
age, he wandered back to his native
state, and is now an inmate of the
Soldiers Home. The eye that once
sparkled so brightly has grown dim;
the strong arm has been weakened,
and the brisk, elastic step is now
tottering and unsteady.
SIS not this a case where the
Daughters of the Confederacy might
bestow a little Of their abundant
sympathy and bountiful charity?''
Then Colonel Nichols added: ''This
is true story. There is no fiction
about it..
