Another John Brown Reminder.

How John Brown tried to induce
the slaves Of Clarke county, Virginia
to Join him in his insurrection at
Harper's Ferry in 1889, by going from
one place to another, pretending to
be a clock mender, was recalled few
days ago by Mrs. George Washing
ton Lewis, OF Berryville. who exhibit
ed a beautiful grandfather clock, which
she has just had repaired and put in
running order by D. F. Hinkins. Mrs
Lewis found the following inscription
pasted in the clock:
"The mending Of this clock is the
last piece of work known to have been
done by John Brown. He conceived
the idea OF being the liberator Of the
southern slaves, melting them to in
surrection. In the month OF October
1859. he appeared at Frankfort the
home of Col. Frank Mccormick, and
asked permission to look at or mend
clocks, After some few repairs, he
left, taking advantage Of the occasion
to enter the servants quarters at night
to urge them to follow him. They re-
fused, and he pushed on to Charlestown
with few followers. The night Of
October 16 he seized the United States
arsenal, was captured October lS, tried
and executed December 2, 1889"
The old clock belonged to Col. Frank
Mccormick, grandfather Of the late
George Washington Lewis.

Warns of Floating Mines.

Now comes the Prince Of Monaco to
take some Of the joy out Of transatlantic
touring.
The Prince, regarded as an authority
on sea currents and maritime mines
dclares that many mines are now in
waters piled by ocean-going liners.
For years to come, he said, there will
be danger ahead for those crossing the
seas.
Dynamite derelicts, sown by the Ger
mans and Allies in the North Sea dur
ing the war, are making their first
trip home, rifiing the "brake-beamS'
OF the Gulf Stream, he said.
"The first mines are returning to
Europe" he said, "after floating for
nearly four years around in the gull
current. During that period they Wis.
tied the British Channel, Bay Of Bis
cay, Spanish, Portuguese and Canary
Island waters and the Azores. The
first 26 floats mines were reported
by the Azores observatory between 81
and 80 degrees Greenwich north lati'
tude and between 10 and 80 degrees
west longitude, thus confirming m.
warning that this would be very dan
gerous zone. These mines, sovn il
1914, are merely the vanguard o
thousands sown later and which vii
appear within the next four or fv
years-the length Of time required TO
them to cover the distance"
Further zones OF danger describes
by the Prince Of Monaco extend arounl
the Canary, Madeira and Azore Island
and in the cold ocean currents be
tween the latter archipelago and tn
Sargossa Sea- E

Governor Cornwell Writes Senators.

That the peace treaty should b.
adopted without reservation in view o
the social unrest that exists in the
country, is the opinion Of Goverrc
John ]. Cornwell, expressed in COM
munication sent to United States Sen
ators Howard Sutherland and Davis
Elkins Of West Virginia.
Here is his letter to them:
81 think you will admit | have not
interfered in or even discussed nation
al questions, especially those Of a po-
litical character, but, on the other hand
have devoted my time and energies tC
the problems connected with my Office
Were the peace treaty properly po-
litical question, would not now at
tempt to influence your action. My
opinion may not interest yon, but nev-
ertheless, want to 60 on record as
saying that while am quite sure the
treaty is not perfect and is possibly
open to many Improvements, to defeat
it or amend it to such an extent as to
necessitate reopening negotiations,
would, under the present disturbed in
dustrial and social conditions, be not
only mistake but constitute q menace
to the future peace and prosperity OF
this country. II it is unsatisfactory
or il we are outvoted, we can with
draw. With the world depending upon
US, for food, raw materials and credit
does anybody believe there will be any
attempt to override our just desires
In our opinion, il we are to escape ar
industrial and social upheaval, il viii
be necessary to settle this question
promptly by ratifying the treaty with
out fatal reservations, and then get Z
prompt, sane and non-partisan solu
ton Of the railroad problem and othel
pressing domestic question"

Mr.. Wilson's Breakdown.
New York Times.)

President Wilson was so prodigal OF
his strength in serving not only his
country but mankind that nature at
last rebelled. No President since Lin
coin had been under such a racing
nervous strain. Mr.. Wilson's first term
had run only a year and five months
when the great war began in Europe,
sweeping the continent like con1a-
grafton and threatening to involve the
United States. A month after Mr..
Wilson's second inauguration the
United States was drawn in, and
thereafter the problems that he had to
deal with as leader of the American
people and as commander-in-chief OF
the army and navy were so tremendous
and exacting that without exaggeration
it may be said that not one of his pre-
decessors had to carry so heavy bur-
den, for it became necessary to organize
and direct the vast resources OF the
United States, not only to raise, equip.
and train its own armies, but to finance
its allies and feed their troops and
people.
The working day was twenty-four
hours in the White House. Mr.. Will
son was subject to call at all times.
His last vacation, a heeting two weeks,
had been taken in 1915. The wonder
in those trying days was that his
strength held out. II was an exhibi-
ton Of stamina and fortitude that the
American people have not forgotten,
will never forget. When our troops
were once in action and victory still
hung in the balance the strain upon
the President was unimaginable. II
will be remembered that OCCASIONALLY he
gave way under it. but soon rallied and
took up the task again.
Almost as great a demand upon Mr..
Wilson's strength and faculties, per-
haps greater, was his work at Paris;
six months OF planning, negotiating,
discussion, to conclude peace, make
over the map Of Europe, guarantee the
integrity Of new nations, and save the
world from another calamitous war.
Mr.. Wilson's health suffered, and at one
time it seemed as If he would be unable
to 90 on. But he was no sooner home
than he had to take up two irrepressible
problems, the demands Of labor and
the high cost of living. He addressed
himself to them with characteristic |
courage when he should have taken |
a long rest. A still greater question
soon taxed his waning strength: the |
Of the peace treaty, accept
ance Of the league Of nations. And
he decided that he must tell his country |
men as far west as the Pacific Coas
what the league OF nations meant to
the United States and the world and
what the consequences of failure to
accept it would be.
Mr. Wilson stood up under this last
ordeal until he had travelled nearly g.
600 miles and delivered more than |
thirty speeches; then he faltered and
his nervous forces succumbed. He
was as truly wounded and spent as a
soldier on the battlefield. The SYM
pathy Of the American people will 60
out to him. They realize how valiantly |
he has fought for them and that he has |
never thought Of sparing himself in
their service. They have marveled at
his endurance, and, now that he has
broken down, the concern for his |
health, the hope that with rest he will
soon be himself again, will be uni |
yersal.

The Password.

II was at the close Of Gypsy Smiths
meetings in Brooklyn, when at the Gen.
trail Congregational Church the Gypsy
was to tell the story OF his life. II
seemed as il all Brooklyn wanted TO
hear the lecture, but many in the
crowds about the church had failed
10 get tickets in advance. Hoping to
squeeze in by good luck, they crowded
up as close as possible to the door,
and one man tried to persuade the
guard TO let him by.
The doorkeeper kindly but firmly an
swered, "My good friend, IL you
haven't a ticket you can't come in
here"
"why," replied the man, 81 must
come in. am chairman OF CON-
mittee representing the city OF Rich
mond, Virginia, and we've come hun
dreds OF miles to hear the Gypsy, and
then to invite him to our city to lead
us in a great evangelist campaign"
The doorkeeper replied, 81 am sor.
ry for you, my friend, but can't help
il. II you were the King OF England
or the President OF the United States,
you could not enter this door without
ticket"
His answer seemed almost unkind,
but will not the last judgment give that
same memorable reply to many who
hope TO get by the gatekeeper, but who
have not earned the right, 81 am sorry
for you, my friend, but | can't help
it"? BY the parade Of the foolish viz
gins who were shut out OF the wedding
feast and by the parade OF the man who
was elected from the wedding feast
because he failed to wear the wedding
garment, Christ warns all such per-
sons. Yet there will be some who will
try to evade the doorkeeper-who will
expect to get into heaven as small
potatoes get into the market, mixed
with the large, or as a small boy tries
to steal his way into circus.
The chances are strong against
them. II will be a case OF law and not
sentiment. 81 am sorry for you, my
friend, but | can't help III"

Swords of Honor.

| Although Congress gave Genera
Pershing a vote Of thanks and the per
manent rank of general, it decided no
to present him with beautiful and
costly sword of honor. That was moi
precisely a slight, for, although in the
burst of national exultation that fol-
lowed the battle OF Manila, Congress
voted a sword to Admiral Dewey, il
has not been in the habit of honorine
all its victorious commanders in that
way. Neither General Grant nor
General Sherman got swords from
Congress, although they got them from
several cities and companies of pri-
vate citizens who wished to do them
honor.
1t is on the whole more common for
cities than for States to choose this
method of recognizing high military
distinction; that perhaps is because
nations have certain highly priced dec
orations to bestow, whereas grateful
cities have not. And so it falls out
that, although General Pershing did
not get a gold-mounted sword from
his own country, he will not have tc
do without one; for the City of Lon
don has given him very handsome
blade, decorated as to the handle with
diamonds and rubies, and bearing or
one side the figure Of Britannia and on
the other that OF Liberty, together with
the arms both Of London and of tho
United States.
Paris has similarly honored the
three marshals of France, Foch, Joffre
and Petain. II we may judge from
the photographs, the Paris swords are
handsomer and more remarkable ex-
amples of the armorer's art than Gen.
eral Pershing's blade; they show
more originality,-more grace and more
imagination in their design,-which will
perhaps astonish no one who is ac-
quainted with the relative merits Of
French and British art.
But however that may be, the four
swords have this in common, that they
commemorate great and historic mill
tary achievements. In the years to
come they will be counted as among the
most famous OF weapons, although
they are less weapons than symbols
symbols of courage and faith and 10y
atty shown in one Of the great crisis
OF history. General Pershing may well
be proud Of his, for it is a pledge OF
the gratitude of a country not his own,
and symbol, too, OF the cordial and
generous understanding fe-establish-
ed, partly at least through his SER
vices, between two nations that were
long less friendly than their common
origin and institutions should make
them.
