IF Won huild a. line of railway over

Giving lucrative employment to about

If YOU cause a score of cities by your
right-of-way to rise,
Where there formerly was nothing
but rattlesnakes and flies;
If when bringing "kale" to others, you
acquire little "kale',
Then you've surely robbed the pee

If by planning and by toiling you have
won some wealth and fame,
It will make no odds how squarely
you have played your little game
Your success is proof sufficient that

You're a soulless malefactor; to the

It's crime for you to prosper where
so many others fail;
You have surely robbed the "peepuf'

Be chrome politician, deal in super

Roast the Banks and money barons
there is always safety there;
But to sound the note of business is
crime so mean and base;
That a fellow guilty of it ought to g

Or well think you've robbed the "pee

GERMANS ATTEMPT DE-
sTRUCT|ON OF BRIDGE
Escape of Werner Van Horn to Amer
lean Side Involves U. S.-Arrest-
ed, But Declares His Act
One of War.

Vanceboro, Me-, Feb. 29.-Another
international problem, incident to the
war, was thrust upon the United States
today by the action of Werner Van
Horn, who, operating on the Canadian
side of the border, dynamited the rail-
way bridge over the st. CroiX river,
and then escaped into Maine.
few hours later, in room at
hotel here, Van Hern submitted to ar
rest, but Immediately proclaimed him
self an officer of the German army, and
set up the claim that he committed an
act of war, and, having fled to neu-
trail country, could not be surrenderd
legally to an enemy of the Fatherland.
The Canadian authorities took diff
ferent view of the matter, and imme-
diately instituted proceedings to ex-
tradite the prisoner on charge of
destruction of railroad property. Pend
ing the outcome of these efforts, Van
Horn is held at the immigration office
here, in custody of a deputy sheriff.
The bridge which Van Horn sought
" uSSG1 C9 w clo uVC 81 Ocithy 7NNN'
Within a few hours cars were shunted
across, one at time, the passengers
walking over on the ice. By morning
railroad officials said the bridge would
be strong enough for trains to use it
without uncoupling.
Attorney General William R. Patan-
gall tonight ordered that Van Horn be
held until furthers orders.
While there was no formal charge
preferred against him at first arrange
ments were made to have a warrant
issued if necessary, in order to make
certain his detention.
Van Horn, the officials state, could
be charged with damage to a railroad
bridge, which is an extraditable Of
fense or with damage to property on
the American side of the border where
windows were broken by the explo-
sion.
When Van Horn was searched the
police claim to have found upon him
drawing Of the bridge.

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 2.-Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association,
today addressed a joint meeting of
committees of the General Assembly
in behalf o. woman suffrage bills now
before that body. Many suffrage ad-
vocates and members of the Assembly
attended.
Nevertheless the woman's suffrage
bills get unfavorable reports in both
the Senate and the House by the leg
isIative committees Trey are the
Roberts (of Bunconbe) bill IN the
House. The joint hearing OF those
bills was held this afternon before
brilliant assemblage of women that
many suspected would surely wrest
from the joint committee at least fav-
orable reports for their bills.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, head of the
Woman's Suffrage movement for the
Nation; Mrs. Archibald Henderson, of
Chapel Hill, head Of the movement for
North Carolina; Mrs. Eugene Riley, of
Charlotte, president of the North Car
oIina Federation of Womens CLUBS;
Mrs. Goodno, Of Raleigh, president of
Womans Christian Temperance Union,
Mrs. Al, Fairbrother, Greensboro, were
heard in the most stirring appeals and
arguments GoT their cause and then
the committees retired to committee
room and voted unsayorable reports for
the bills.
The Senate committee on election
laws voted 20 3 for unfaEorable re-
port and the House committee on con-
stitutiona1 amendments to 3 for un-
favorable report Notice was given on
both commit es that there would be
minority favorable reports to give the
BILLS footing for fights on the floors
IN both houses. Lieutenant Governor
iDaughtridge remarked when he heard
& IS that this means about three days
O. argument in the Senate and as much
or more time consumed in the House.

Printing In China.

The story of the growth and de-
velorment of the Presbyterian Chinese
mission press is most interesting. Mr.
William Gamble appears to have
played the role of a Caxton in China.
The first press was set up in January.
.1S44.
Mr.. Gamble took charge Of the
Press in 1853 and introduced the
method of making matrices for
Chinese type by the e!ectrotype pro-
cess, superseding many cumbersome
plans formerly tried. The manufac-
ture of Chinese fonts was much sim
plified. and the designing of ease"
for new type WAS another of Mr..
CANDLES inventions contributing to
still further progress.
In order to insure an efficient
method of arrangement In the cases,
the inventor examined the characters
found in translations of the Bible and
twenty seven other books, these con-
tanning over 100000 characters, but
only $50 different characters To
these, $50 characters found in the
font of the London Missionary Society
at Hong Kong were added. These
5000 characters were then divfded
into fifteen groups, according to the
frequency Of their use. and thus the
work of the Chinese compositor was
greatly facilitated. Foreseeing pros
poets of great developments in Shang-
| hal. Mr. Gamble was instrumental In
causing the Press to be transferred
there from Ningpo. in December. 1860.

Shelter--for they are outcasts; food
