Forgetful lohn.

“What a fool that up-town burglar
was, who tried to rob a street car con-
ductor’ a house, when there was an edi-
tor’s house next door.—-News.

The esteemed Rodemeyer must have
iorgotten his Sunday School precepts.
Doesn’t the good book teach Editors to
“lay up their treasures in Heaven,where
moths do not corrupt and where thieves
do not break through and steal,” and
no one knows the only place where the
Editor keeps his treasure. better, than
the burglar. What rascal ever found
anything in an Editor’s house worth
stealing, anyway?

Manufacturers in Charleston. I
Aiew days ago we cited and com-
oriented on a few sample sentences from
a tear compelling editorial in the
Charleston News and Courier. The
tenor of the article seemed to indicate

that the editor and his fellow-citizens

were plunged in the d°pths of dark
despair by reason of a memorable oc-
currence at Appomattox, Va., thirty
one years ago. They appeared to have
hung their harps on the willows and,
with rent garments and disheveled hair,
given themselves up to hopeless wailing
as a “conquered” and a “subjugated”
peOple. '
* Bart we are happy to be able to say
that appearance was deceptive. The
mil was long, loud. and bitter, but its
mouthful cadence died away at last.
“Joy cometh in the morning." The
darkest n1ght ends with the dawning of
anew day. Even a grief so deep, a
sorrow so profound, and affliction so
welas that of our excellent contem-
porary in Charleston is not erdles'fi.

;“Hope springs eternal in the human

threw-t,” and the editorial “breast” of
file News and Courler is sul ject to this

universal laws; Threfore our contem-
'3torary has lifted itself out of the cold

shes o’de d- hopes and put on a cheer-

Iiolcountenance in lieu of its lachry-

muse aspect. It has turned its gaze
3mm the gtoomy past in the radiant
nature, item the “might have been” to
wphat may be.

In short, the News and Courier is do-
ing its, best, and that is a good deal,
‘brnfuse a spirit of hopefulnets into the
minds of its local constituents.
“Charleston’s Bid for Manufactories”
do the title of an editorial in that paper
cube 30th ultimo. And we find from
man inspectwn of the article that
“Charleston’s bid” is the offer of very
substantial inducements. It appears
that the late constitutional convention
racorporated in the new» constitution of
South Carolina a specialsectiou author-
ising cities and towns, by general or
special ordinance, to exempt from taxa'
lion,_except for school purposes alone,
manufactories established within their
limits “for five successive years from
the time of the establishment of such
manufactories, provided that such or-
dinance should be first ratified by a ma-
jority of such qualified electors of such
city or town as shall vote at an election
held. ior‘that purpose.”

The people of Charleston have availed
themselves of this lpermission. The
Council has adopted, and the voters
have ratified, an ordinance which pro—
vides that all manufactories employing
two or more hands, or having a paid-up
capital of ten thousand dollars or more,
which shall be established in Charles-
ton hereafter shall be exempt from all
7.11m school taxes for five years “from
the time of their establishment.”

The News and Courier exerted its
nfiuence in securing the adoption of
this measure and is rej oiciug over the
anticipated results of it. We are glad
wfiud our contemporary engaged in
so excellent "a work. And yet the
Ftpcctacle of that paper, that zealous
advocate of free trade and hater of
protection, going in for such’a measure
anthis is amazing, for this ordinance is
simply a bounty law. In approving it
fine ' We and Courier indorses the
most ' denounced phase of protective
'The principle of this
exemption ordinance is thesame as a

' la! giving a bounty of so much a yard

or piece on all goods manufactured.
We shall confidently-~ expect our

Winston contemporary to follow up

\fieonversion by able advocacy of high

gatection supplemented by liberal
mums; says the Washington Post.

' WHAT THE WHEEL DOES.

It is Procuring Better Roads and Road
Houses.

Those persons who do not ride bicy
cles. and those bicyclists who only pot
ter about the Park, the Boulevard, and
Riverside Drive, can have no idea what
a change has been produced by the sport
in remote country places. For one
thing, the condition of the roads has
improved immensely within a year.
This is largely the result of concentrat
ed eflort, steadily applied.

But by far the most interesting evo-
.lution is the recrudescence of the inn.
Those who drove horses were an insig
nificant few as compared with the
army of patrons of the wheel. The
custom which depended upon the
horsey people was variable and uncer
tain. On the other hand that of the
the cyclists is constant and reliable.
The inkeepers have realized that their
time has come round again. The com-
petition among the keepers of houses of
entertainment is just keen enough to
cause them to give good value. Meals
that are satisfactory to those whose ap
,petites have been sharpened by a good
spin along a road are obtainable at
places where a short time ago only the
most primitive fare could be had.- It 15
customary just now for large parties to
leave this city and Brooklyn on Satur
days, take the train for some distant
point and start bright and early on
Sunday on a long run. There is no
trouble in finding accomodation. If
the good work goes on the inn will be-
come more and more of an institution.
This is a consummation devoutly to be
wished.

HE FORGOT TO PREACH.

The Curious Absorption of a Reverend
Bibliophile.

The bibliophile’ a passion for rare
books has always been a fruitful theme
for the humorist, but the engrossing
charms of the chase were never more
amusingly set forth than in the follow-
ing anecdote of the Rev. Mr. Brand,
one of the most noted book hunters in
England:

One Friday afternoon. while Mr.
Brand was roaming in the neighbor-
hood of his church in the East End of
London, his eye fell on the shop of a
Jew bookseller which he had not before
noticed, and he was astonished to see
there a number of black- letter volumes
exposed for sale, but the sun was rap-
idly going down, and the Jew, loath to
be stoned by his neighbors for breaking
the Sabbath, was httily interposing
the shutters between the eyes of the
clergyman and the coveted books.

' “Let me look at them inside.” said
Mr. Brand. "1 will not keep you
long.”

“Impossible,” replied the Jew. “Sab~
bath will begin in five minutes, and I
absolutely cannot be drawn into such a
breach of divine law. But if you choose
to come early on Sunday morning,l
will reserve them for you, and you may
see them at your leisure.”

The reverend gentleman accordingly
turned up at 3 o’clock on Sunday
morning, intending ’ to remain until
church time, as he had to do duty that
day. The literary treasures were more
numeious than he expected and he ex
amined the rare productions of celebrat-
ed presses and purchased so freely that
his treasures soon began to assume
considerable proportions. He was in~
terrupted, however. by the J ewess call-~
ing out to her husband, “Dinner is
ready 1”

“Dinner!" exclaimed the person with
a start. “At what hour do you dine?”

“At 1 o’clock,” she replied.

He looked at his watch. It was too
true. He hastened to the church. The
congregation had dispersed. much con-
cerned at the absence of their worthy
pastor, who. according to his biograph-
er, atqned by unwonted eloquence for
his unpremeditated prank of the morn
ing.”-—Youth’s Companion.

Good “’hen Genuine.

The slim, blue eyed young man who
teachcsschool had been reading the
comic- periodicals and waxed appre-
hensive.

“I’m really afraid,” he said, “that
this ‘new woman’ idea is going to cut
more of a. figure than we think it is.”

“What makes you afraid?” inquired

the old gentleman with rugged feat-
ures and kindly eyes.

‘ Why there are getting to be so
many new women, you know.”

“And I’m glad to see it. I go to all
high school and seminary commence
ment. Those are the places to see the
new woman in her perfection. She is
unfamiliar with all but the poetry of
life. and she sees things with the eyes
of the idealist. She believes in the best
and thinks that everybody else is going
to help her hustle this world right
along into the millennium before it
knows what has happened. .Young
man, don’t you be worried about her.
It isn’t the new woman—the genuinely
new woman—who is likely to raise a
disturbance. It’s the old woman who
is trying to be fresh.”—Detroit Free
Press.

Bicycle Etiquette,

As yet wheeling is too new to have
fixed rules of etiquette, but after awhile
no doubt, they will be decided upon and
will be observed as closely as those of
the cotillion Then aman will no more
think of riding on the‘right side of a
woman than he would of leaving his
partner in the middle of the floor
after a dance.

He may assist her to dismount, if he
likes—every one knows that she can do
that—and he is only being courteous,
and not useful, but it is an 1”insult to her
as a. wheelwoman to assist her to
mount.

 

An Exploded Theory. ‘ W
One of the superstitions perpetuated
from age to age among the common

people is that the human body weighs‘

no more ’after a meal than before. if
there were any foundation of fact in
this idea no human being could ever. get
fat!
