PERHAPS SUPERFLUOUS.

President Roosevelt names Grover
Cleveland, Andrew Carnegie, James j.
Hill, William Jennings Bryan and John
Mitchell as the five greatest men in the
United States outside of public life.
The exception, "outside of public life,
is perhaps superf1uous.
But, are the five persons named
Americas greatest" citizens? There
is not a congressional district in the
country that does not hold a man who,
given opportunity and great ambition,
could not do the work of any n of the
five mentioned by the president.
But, here is a list of five that are diff
ferent. Here are five persons whose
work could not under any known cir
cumstances have been duplicated to any
congressional district, namely, Mark
Twain, Thomas A. Edison, Helen Kel-
lar, J. P. Morgan and Edwin Mark
ham. 1t is idle to say that American
literature includes today the peer of
Mark Twain. In electrical science
Thomas A. Edison stands above all.
No woman handicapped as Helen Kel-
lar is has ever been able to accomplis b
as much as this honored daughter OF
Alabama has. J. P. Morgan organized
the Steel corporation and tanned the
October panic. Who else could have
done as much? And as for Ed win Mark
ham, when any American writes a more
ringing poem, one that will outlast the
entire work of the presidents five, thar
1.-THE Man With the Hoe", then it will
be time to erase his lame.
If unusual accomplishments be the
standard, the presidents FIVE will not
stand criticism. His five worked in the
customary level with more or less sue
cess, but power and moneY-getting are
not the highest standards in this world
or, let us hope, in this country.

ELEGANT RECEPTION.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Borden Enter.
tain in Honor of the Bride-Elect,

The reception of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
E.. Borden, given Tuesday night compli-
mentary to Miss Rachel Moye Borden,
was one OF the most delightful social
events of the season. Their elegant
home on Ash street was a scene of
surprising beauty and gayety from
$50 to 1880.
The house had been tastefully deco
rated with palms and ferns and was
brilliantly Illuminated by many cleo
trio lights. Levin's Orchestra, of Ra-
leigh, had been engaged tor the occa-
sion and the music added greatly to
the enjoyment Of the guests.
In the libraries the guests were re-
ceived by Mr.. and Mrs. Walter E.
Borcen, Miss Rachel Moye Borden and
Mr.. e. Ehrlich Smith, of Norfolk, Va.
Dainty paper slippers had been hid
den and the guests were instructed to
search for thsm, being informed that
the finder of the white slipper, if a
young lady, was to be the next bride,
and If a gentleman, he was to present
it to the young lady present whom he
might elect for his bride. This created
both considerable merriment and coy
embarrassment that lent additional
enjoy ment TO the novel situation and
everyone entered into the search mer-
rily.
In this contest Mr.. Graves J.. Smith
had the distinction of finding the white
slipper, and, nothing daunted, he GAL
lantly presented it to Miss Baldwin,, of
Baltimore.
After this the guests were seated and
served with delightful refreshments by
Mesdames Elliott VI. Braxtony of New
port News, Va, VIM. Douglass, OF
Charleston, s. c., w. H. Cobb, Jr., L..
NJ. Michaux, and G. B. Miller.

How TO Clean Hair Brushes.

Good hair brushes are costly items, but
if properly cared for they will last for
years. To wash them, have ready two
basins, one three-fourths full of boiling
water and the other with the same
amount Of very cold water. In the first,
dissolve a teaspoonful of Gold Dust
washing powder and shake the bristles
up and down in the boiling water until
they are thoroughly clean, then at once
rinse well in cold water and stand the
brush to dry in the air or in a warm
place, but not too near the fire. OF
course the back of the brush must not
be wet.
