Mau-Hater Builds Her Own House. ALL OYER THE STATE. Woman's Influence. By Ella Wheeler Wilcox. NERVES GAVE WAY PE-RU-NA CURED.

Half Sick We cannot make as large and complete a book as Judge Clark has made, but we can certainly make a roster, even though Senators Clay and Bacon and Lon Livingston have to have a bill passed giving our agent the use of the confederate archives. Judge Clark had to do that. Now please the lead in this matter, for it is a sacred duty we owe to our children and their I asked an old private the other day how he could prove his service. "Oh" said he "there are a dozen comrades I can prove it by." "Buttwhen they are all I. Vineland, N.

Sept. 1. When her husband left her a few years ago Mrs. Sarah Jane Griffith, of this city, made a solemn vow never again to have a man about the house. She declared that her husband 'was lazy and wanted everything his own way, and that thereafter she would live alone and have her way, and that as far as she was concerned all the oth er men could have their own way provided they kept their distance from her.

Because of her vow Mrs. Griffith found herseir in a peculiar predica ment several months ago.sheconceiv ed the idea or building a house according to her own ideas or architecture and or inside arrangements. -She had to choose between hiring workmen and erecting her house alone. She decided to stand by her vow, and unaided and with her own hands she is buildiug a cottage for herself. Mrs.

Griffith now has five rooms completed, and she done all the work from foundation to roof, in cluding the digging of the cellar and the laying of masonry, the lathing and the plastering. She has placed a furnace. in the cellar and has piped her house, the system of heating being hot air. Mrs. Griffith has shown great courage, patience and endur ance, her most remarkable work, in the opinion of some people, being the carting or bricK nerselr, unaided, rrpm a brickyard, a distance or about five miles.

Mrs. Griffith says that she is no common hatchet-and-saw carpenter or wood butcher. She says she is a first-class architect and builder, and declares her home when finished will be as pretty and commodious as any cottage in the suburbs or this city. This twentieth century woman carpenter and man-hater can orten -be seen walking along a narrow scar- folding with working tools in hand, or soldering tin on the roor. "When Is a Man Drunk!" Philadelphia, Sept.

1. The ques tion, "When is a man drunk?" came up in the License Court to-day be-f fore Judges and Ralston. W. E. Damon, an agent of the Law and Order Society, tetified that he made a number of visits to a certain house and saw the law being violated by the serving of drinks to persons visibly drunk.

'You used the word "said Judge Audenried; "what is your de finition of that term?" "I regard a man drunk when he is visibly affected by liquor," was the answer. we would like you to be more specific," said the Court. "Well, I take it from a man's conduct, the general appearance or his face; but I do not neccessarily mean that he-shall stagger. Others have a habit of leaning against the rail around the bar." notice tnat wnue giving your testimony you yourself have been leaning on the bench. You wouldn't have us regard that as being an evi dence of intoxication on your part, would you?" inquired Judge Audenried.

The agent colored up and answer ed that he would hardly like the Court to consider the question in that light. Judge Ralston said he understood that saloon bars were supplied with rails for the purpose of leaning a- against, to which the agent said that in these particular instances the pa trons staggered after leaving the support afforded by the rail. The bartenders at the saloon in question then took the stand and de nied having ever furnished drinks to intoxicated persons, saying that tbey received binding instructions in that respect. The case was continued. Her Style of Hair Dressing Offensive.

Washington, Aug. oi). A young woman employed as a press feeder in the Government Printing Office has given up her employment be cause she refused to alter the style of dressing her hair, as requested to do by Foreman McFarland of the press room. She was told by the foreman that she could not continue in her work if she did not adopt i new style of hair dressing. She ap pealed to Private Secretary Ricketts, who in the absence of the Public Printer is at the head of the Govern ment printing establishment.

He was more diplomatic than the foreman in talking with the young woman, but he nevertheless took a firm stand. "I am sorry, madam," said he, 'that you are having serious differences with Mr. McFarland. I would not attempt to suggest to you how to wear your hair, which, I am sure, is most attractive as is now. But the complaint is that your hair interferes with reeding or the presses and causes the spoiling or many sheets of paper." The young woman decided to accept the condition made by the foreman, however, and abandoned her work.

It was said at the Government Printing Office to-day that if the young woman will return with her hair brushed smooth she may be reinstated. Bill Wants His State's History Saved From Oblivion. Cartersville, Sept. 1. Iuditor Headlight: I am not well and may not write many more letters for your readers and therefore write this one to you to enlist your interest and hearty co operation in a matter that is very near my heart and I am sure would be as near to yours if you were twenty years older and had more time.

I have received the five volumes of history compiled and edited by Judge Walter Clark, now the Chief Justice of the State of North Carolina. This is no ordinary work. It is on a higher plane than any I have seen and is to the land what "Service A-float" is on the sea. For seven years of unremitting toil Judge Clark has worked on this labor or love without pay or reward save that which comes from the accomplish ment of a sacred duty faithfully per formed. Or course he has had cap able and willing cooperators who Out or the 254 sketches wrote 179 or them.

Judge Clark wrote all of the others besides a full half volume (fifth) or graphic events and comments that concern all the southern states as much as North Carolina and which includes the first published history or the North Carolina navy the Al- bermarle and Shenandoan and Flori da and some other smaller cruisers and blockade runners. It is worthy or mention just here that Commander Waddell, or the Shenandoah, was the last man to keep the conrederate flag at the masthead, ror his vessel was in the mid-Pacific ocean and he did not know or the rail or the confederacy untill the 19th August, 18G5, and had a sea fight with the enemy on June 4. The volumes are beautifully bound in gray and gold. The paper and the print- ng is or the best quality and their pages embellished with over 900 por traits and battle scenes. These por- raits are, or course, a reproduction, eight to a page, or the old time pho-1 tographs that the mothers or the dead and living boys rurnished to the engravers.

These engravings were reproduced by that patriotic south-j erner, Major Patton, president of the University Publishing Company, New York, without cost. The vol umes are quite large containing 800 pages each. Judge Clark selected the best men to write the sketches of their regiments. What a guaranty of truth and cul ture when we see in this list of contributors such eminent and patriotic names as General D. H.

Hill, General Clingman, Governor Vance and his brother Robert, General Toon, Col onel DeRossett, Major Graham, Major Moore (who compiled the roster twenty years ago), Dr. Moses Hoge, of Richmond, and captains and lieut enants by the score. And there are ministers and privates mingled in whose work is well and ably done. There were eighty-four full regiments and twenty-eight battalions besides the state troops (home guards) and every regiment and battalion had one or more historians. It is a magnificent work and if I were a North Carolinian and lived rar away I would purchase a set ir I had to do without tobacco and whiskey Tor a month, for the price is only $5.

There are 17,000 names indexed in these volumes and I would be sure that some or them were kin to me or my rolks. What a woriderrul State. Their long forbearing people twice sent a commission to Washington to plead Tor a peacerul solution and avoid war, but got no promise or consideration, and then they made war as one man and all the women. They had only 115,000 of full grown men or 21 in the State, but they could not keep the boys out and troops were enrolled. What a sad comment must come in here, for it is a matter of record that of these 41,000 were killed or died in the service.

I have the old roster before me in four volumes containing names and appended to every name are significant letters telliDg when he enlisted and where and what became of him. But why am I writing so earnestly about this? Because I wish our own State to do something of the kind before it is forever too late. It is alarming to read in Judge Clark's "Review and Conclusion" how many or his contributors died before they had finished their sketches and either he or some other one had to take it up and complete it. Now the cost or this work to the State is $1 per volume, which is the actual cost of the paper, printing, binding and engrav ing. The greater portion is aiad-J able and fascinating as a romance and will brighten up and fasten "the patriotism of our young men, whether they be rrom North Carolina or Georgia.

Now, some of us old veterans wish the Atlanta Constitution to start this ball in motion. That great paper can do it. Find out how many veterans are members of the legislature and how many outsiders like Tip Harrison and Charles Edge-worth Jones and Governor Candler and General Evans and Evan P. Howell you can enlist as co-operators. The Kews From Ererywhere Gathered and Condensed.

Mr. L. Aderholdt, who operates a distill ery near Crouse, is an inmate of the Private Hospital in this city. Sat urday arternoon while feeding apples into the mill, the drum head of the machine flew off and struck him on the chin. The lower jaw-bone was broken in three places; in the center and near the middle on each side The, teeth of the upper jaw were all knocked out, except two or three of the back teeth.

He was brought to Charlotte Sunday and the attending physicians looked after his injuries. The teeth that were knocked out by the force of the blow, were replaced and information to-day is to the effect that he is getting on exceeding ly well. His mouth is so sore rom the effects of the blow that he is for ced to take his nourishment through a rubber tube. The physicians say he will recover. What are Humors? They are vitiated or morbid fluids coursing the veins and affecting the tissues.

They are commonly due to defective digestion but are sometimes inherited. How do they manifest themselves In many forms of cutaneous eruption, salt rheum or eczema, pimples and boils, and in weakness, languor, general debility. How are they expelled By Hood's Sarsaparilla which also builds up the system that has suffered from them. -It is the best medicine, for all humors. In a recent address in Detroit.Mieh., Bishop Spalding, or Peoria, spoke of women their duty and re sponsibility: The women in our homes decide how we snail build and furnish our houses.

Theydetermine what we shall Pat. and wear, and read; they select out inenas, ana even decide the important questions of religion. They put words of the native tongue into the mouths of the children, and influence tnem powerfully in their growth to manhood and womanhood. "If the women of the land were more larere-minded. morp ful, more intelligent, three-fourths me depravity and sin that curse present-day life would disappear.

The seat of the development of the child i6 in me nome. To tier man must leave the traininer of the bovs and girls that are to be the fathers and motners of the future. Shall woman be false, ungrateful and traitorous to the trust that man has reposed in her?" The Bishop does not in the small est degree overestimate woman's in fluence in the world and the imDor- tance of hr work and position. Such being the case, is not there a great responsibility resting upon the parents of girls to see that they are properly trained and educated for the important work which it is her destiny to perform? An ignorant, untrained mother cannot be ordinarily expected to train her sons and daughters into the best type of citizens. To expect that would be unreasonable.

The work which the mother and the homemaker has to do is unquestionably of more ultimate importance than the work of the man. The training and education of the girl should therefore be more care fully attended to than the education of the boy. As to what should be the character of the girl's education is a matter of opinion, and opinions differ widely upon this important question. There has been a great deal of discussion from time to time of the effect of college education, the so-called "higher education," upon women. Some lave contended that it unfits them for domestic life.

All will agree that the girl who become the mother of a family should have such an education as will develop lier mind, her reasoning faculties and judgment. She should have such "accomplishments," as they are called, as will aid her in making home happy and attractive, and in these accomplishments music has a high place. And above all, the mother of the girl has the most important part of her education, and she should be competent to do the work. Women To Clean a Street. Paterson, N.

J. Sept. 2. There is one block in Paterson which is to be kept clean the rest of the season, and that is the section of Water street, between Arch and Clinton streets. The work will be done by the women who-live on the block.

Among them area number of thrifty Holland dames, who have a holy horror of dirt, due to early training in the Fatherland. They are not alone in the good work, for every woman who lives on the block is interested and is willing to do her share. For some time past the condition of the street has been an eyesore to the good housewives who keep their homes in the perfection of neatness. Husbands and brothers have appealed to the Board of Aldermen, but nothing save promises was forthcoming, and the women finally determined to take the case into their own hands. k- Then a bright idea came into the mind of Mrs.

David P. Forshay, and she invited all the women on the block to meet at her home. They had not been in the house 15 minutes before the "ladies vigilance committee" had been organized and was ready for business. "We got together," said Mrs. Forshay, "because duty called.

The condition of our street is getting to be a nuisance, and I do not care to stand it any longer. The mud and dirt is tracked into the house every day and is something awful." From the Stump. The first candidate rose and said: "I fought for you my friends, and today the bones of mj' right arm are bleeching among the hills of Tennessee!"

Adopted Twenty-Two Children.

South Haven, Segt. 2. Mr. and Mrs. John Shandrew, pros perous fruit farmers near here, have formally adopted twenty-two chil dren.

It has been the regret of their lives that they had no children to share their prosperity and the beau- tif ul home they have established near the lake shore.

Meanwhile the children will be well fed, clothed and educated in a clean, Christian home, a greater, inheri tance, by the way, than any amount or money that may Tall to them when their beneractors pass away.

Horse Saxes a Child From Injury. Toledo, Sept. 2. An excep tional instance or extraordinary development or instinct in horses came to light here yesterday arternoon, and the animal playing the leading part was Prince! a 2Q-year-old family horse owned by William McDo- nough, a. grocer.

The four-year-old daughter or McDouough wandered into the barn unobserved in the ar ternoon and was soon at play on the floor or a big box stall, the rreedom or which is allowed to Prince and an other younger and very spirited ani mal. During her play the child fell un der the younger horse and might have been kicked to death had not old Prince come to the rescue. In the meantime a search for the child had been started. Mr. McDonough went to the barn, and justashe enter ed he saw the old horse softly grasp the child's clothing, and lift, her from danger, deposit her on the hay in the manger, where he carefully guarded her until Mr.

McDonough took her away. House Demolished iu Killing a Hog. Drifton, Sept. 2.
