Paragraphic Reflections From the
New Bern Sun.

Don't stop at mere dreaming noble
deeds, but do them.
Don't whine-it is a pitiable con-
fession of weakness.
Remember that the blue beyond is
larger than the cloud.
We heartily favor a divorce of the
country from the Thaw case.
Practicing human helpfulness does
more good sometimes than preach
ing it.
The world has little or no use at
all, for the laggard. Be Johnny-on-
the-spot.
1t is according to the eternal fitness
of things that J. s. Manning of Dur
ham has been chosen as Mr.. kitchin's
campaign manager
Tillman might have added very
truthfully, that Roosevelt is not the
only ''pebble" in this country that
is drunk with power.
When something happens to make
us remember that we drifted too far
away from fundamental principles
we will feel sorry for ourselves.

Too Much Legislation.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Senator Odell of Cabarras county,
thinks our Legislature meets too
often; that it should hold one session
in every four years and then for a
term of ninety days. We agree with
the senator. There is entirely too
much legislation-that is too fire.
quent changes of the laws. With %
session every four years and for
ninety days instead of every two
years and for only sixty days, as is
now the law, such frequent changes
of the law as the people of the State
often suffer from, would be avoided
and with the longer term more care
full consideration could be given to
important legislation. The sessions
now are too frequent and too short,
resulting in hasty legislation and in
the consequent rush bills are at times
sneaked through which should never
De allowed to become laws and would
not be if there was more deliberation
in the proceedings. The Concord
Tribune quotes Senator Odell on this
subject as follows:
SIN regard to the general workings
OF the Legisla ture, l sincerely believe
that the General Assembly Ought to
meet only every four years, and hold
for ninety days or as long only as
would be necessary to conduct the
business that might comeup for con-
sideration. My experience in Leg
islatures has been that the more
time one has to deliberate and consid-
er, the more conservative legislation
can be had"
In the same interview Mr.. Odell,
who has been urged to become n
candidate for the nomination for
State Treasurer by the Democratic
convention, announces that he viii
not be candidate.
Mr.. Odell is one of the leading bus
iness men OF his section of the State.
and his views on any public question
is worthy of attention.

Wireless Telegraphy.

Use of Marconi' s Wonder
full Invention The Value
and Usefulness of a Wireless
Equipment on Shipboard
Are Frequently Demonstrat-
ed = Recent Occurrences
That Bring the Matter to
Public Attention.

Norfolk Virginian- Pilot.
The value and usefulness of a wire
less equipment on siiipboard are re-
ceiving frequent demonstrations these
days. Only last week u Porto Rican
liner stranded on the shore of Long
Island in fog. The New York Office
of the company was Immediately
communicated With, told OF the ves-
sells predicament and given her exact
location Without delay wrecking
tugs were sent out to take OFF the
passengers, if necessary, and to rem
der assistance in saving the ship, it
any assistance were needed. The
case finds parallel in that OF the
Fall River Line steamer Providence
which took fire on the Sound before
daybreak Friday morning. The fire
when discovered was not serious, but
there was danger of it becoming SO.
Realizing this and desiring to avoid
any chance OF panic which sudden
arousal of the passengers might
bring on, the captain of the Provi-
dence, knowing that some other boat
of his line was within communicating
distance, set his wireless instrument
to sounding the call. The freighter
Boston in q short while answered
that she would warn the Richard
Peck, which was soon alongside the
Providence and the four hundred
passengers were quickly transferred.
AS it happened the fire did not get
beyond control and for this reason
the rescue attracted little attention.
The incident, however, serves to show
how valuable wireless equipment is
as a means OF securing timely aid in
| distress. Even though the fire had
been much worse the assurance that
rescurers were coming and were near
at hand would have gone far towards
allaying any panic that might have
arisen. What may be the ultimate
success or failure of wireless for COM
mercial purposes it has already been
demonstrated that it can be made to
largely lessen the dangers Of travel
by sea. Probably it is no rash pre-
diction to say that the time is not
far distant when no vessel engaged
in passenger carrying will be consid-
cred properly equipped without a
wireless installation.

Saying things that please is just as

useful. Hurting peoples feelings is
not likely to DO them good, nor y ou
either. If you have the unhappy fac

as much devotion as if your future
success depended On acquiring it, as,
indeed may be the case.

The Home Revolver.
.altinore American.

l'aitImOre American.
In Washington early yesterday
morning, Hugh Hollis, while dream
ing, reached for the revolver under
his pillow and shot his wife. She died
within a few minutes. The corOner's
jury, in their verdict, said they be-
lieved 'from the evidence that the
said Hollis was unconscious at the
time of firing the said shot," and
they exhonerated him from all re-
sponsibility.
Thus the home revolver adds an
other victim to it's long and ever
growing list. Once in a while fire.
arms in the house do good service. In
unprotected localities they are con-
sidered necessary. Some persons pre-
tend to feel safer by carrying them.
But it may be said as far within the
truth that for every life the home re-
volver saves it Stays a dozen. Many
of the suicides are due to the fact
that revolvers are lying around.
Every day brings its score OF acci-
cidents, including the deaths OF chill
dren who find the murderous things
and begin to play with them.
1t is tragic and CORY record. There
is no need for any one in such a city
as Washington or Baltimore to keep
a revolver in the house. To sleep
with one under a pillow is criminal
risk. The best thing to do with the
home revolver is to get rid Of it.

EXCURSION PARTY
LEAVES FOR MEXICO
Phoenix People Visit the Southland on
Variety of Missions.

Quite an excursion party left last
night for Old Mexico, most of them go
ing to look at cheap lands offered for
sale in the west coast states, chiefly
in Topic, which lands have been offer
ed here for sometime through the
agency of Bishop & Haun. Quite a
number took advantage of the eXcur-
sion rate for land seekers. to combine
that enterprise with the satisfying of
curiosity in other respects.
F. P. Fowler, for instance was one
of the eXcursionists, being sent by
syndicate of eastern people to inspect
a gold proposition west of the City Of
Mexico. 1t is supposed to be on old
Azetc property which was worked for
a time for fernando CorteZ after his
conquest of Mexico. There have also
been recent flattering discoveries he
ported from the same or adjacent pro-
perties.
Another of the eXcursionists is Senior
Augustin Pima, Mexican consul in
Phoenix. who vii ltake great pleasure
in showing his Phoenix friends some
of the fine points of his home country.

By the aid of numerous ingenious
and reasonably priced inventions it is
possible to provide a very high quail
ity Of music for every home. In num-
berless houses previously without
harmony music now flows like water.
1t can be turned on or off as with a
faucet. 1t may be of inferior quail
ity, like a cheap municipal gas, but
it gives at least some light in what
were otherwise the darkness of sub
cellar at midnight. In an earlier day
there were automatic instruments
ranging from a tinkly little music box
to huge monstrosities which ran with
the rigid regularity of clockwork and
had all the monotonous heartlessness
of a donkey engine The human ele-
ment could not interfere except to
stop the torture. Today, however, it
is possible to push an attachment
up to an ordinary piano, insert a roll
of perforated paper, put ones feet
upon the pedals and let the machine
do the rest-with this added privilege
that the player may at any moment
quicken or retard the pace, soften
or louden the tone, and manage all
to his own royal pleasure. Or you
may buy a piano with the mechanism
concealed in the case.-Rupert

Lobster a Model for Ships.

The lobester is the new spring fash
ion for ships. Marine architects and
engineers are studying the lovely lob
ster with view to modelling future
leviathans on his lines. They have to
build an ocean greyhound which will
cross the Atlantic in three days And
they base their hopes on the structure
of the lobster, which can make twenty
feet in less than a second. As a land
lubber the lobster may be ungainly.
but in his native element he is both
speedy and graceful, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Moving along the sea bottoms, his
habitat, he walks nimbly along on the
tips of his slender legs, the large claws
extended forward in front of the head,
a position which offers the least resis-
lance to the water, while the two hin
der legs are used for walking. These
ends in hard, surlike joints, which
serve as pricks to steady his move
ments. Delicate swimmers are attach
ed vertically to the under surface of
the tail, each of them consisting of a
short stalk and two flexible blades,
which aid his progress.
BY FAR the most powerful organ of
locomotion the lobster possesses is his
.socalled tail. BY the flexion of this
tail fan he is enabled to make his Won
derful backward flight through the
water. And it is the mechanism and
operation of this tail which the men of
science are now studying. They hope
to initiate the swift backward spring
by a mechanical device which will so
repeat the propelling spring as to
make it one continuous. unbroken
speedy advance through the waters.

END OF CAREER OF
FRANK @. HARIWElL
An Old Resident of the Territory
Passed Away Early Yesterday
Morning.

Frank A Hartwell died yesterday
morning about 3 o'clock at the home
of his son, Byron Hartwell, No. 507
South Center street, after a long ILL
ness. Though of robust build he de-
veloped an affection of the kidneys
couple of years ago and last winter
suffered an attack of pneumonia that
proved all but fatal 1t left him i'm
a condition that was practically hope
less, though he was able during the
spring to be around on the streets
part of the time. His illness, how
ever, accentuated his constitutional
affections to such an extent that his
friends could see it was merely
question of a short time until the
end would come. For some time past
he has been confined to his bed and
his death was not unexpected.
Frank Hartwell is one of the older
residents of the territory, having
settled in Tucson in the early days
where he became known the terri
tory over as a talented photographer.
In the eighties, during one of the
early periods of unusual prosperity in
Phoenix, he moved to this city and
engaged here in the same line of
work, being not only a fine photog-
rapher but skillful in the taking of
landscape views. In that work he
visited all parts of the territory in
private employ on special, occasions.
He was man of more than usual
popularity and was of a jovial dis
position, accommodating and charit-
able. Many in a score of Arizona
towns will regret his untimely death
for though he was Sc years old and
slightly past the meridian Of life
there seemed to be many years of
usefulness ahead of him. He was a !
native of Canada and is Survived by |
four children.
The dead man was a member of |
The Elks lodge of this city and also |
IF the Knights of Pythias. The fun
eral will be held this afternoon at 8 |
