UNCLE SAM'S FAILING. He Is a Slow Paymaster Even When Claims Are Just. Woe betide the luckless individ ual or finn who permits Uncle Sam to get into his debt and allows and becomes the victim of a hitch in tho routine which prevents him from getting his voucher immediately. Uncle Sam does not mean to be dis honest, but he is oftentimes moro generous than just. He will give money in advance, but hates to set tle for a dead horse, says the Phil adelphia Press. The files of congress teem with claims against the government that have been pronounced Just in equity by committees from the house and eenate time and again, but which have not reached the consummation of figuring in a necessary appropri ation hill. Outside of thc claims growing out of the civil war, whose name is legion, are hundreds of worthy claims representing work performed for the government un der contract and mttcuial f urnished or damages inquired through no fault of tho claimant. These dr?g their weary way through session aft er session and congress after con gress, sometimes getting a favora ble report from tho house in one ses sion and the senate in the next, but somehow failing to receive final sanction. . \ Pathetic sights are. witnessed ev .ery day about the capitol when con jjress is in session in connection with these old claims. The old timers around the building come to know the claimants, and it is easy to fol low their fa?ing fortune in the mute -evidence of their despair. They grow older and grayer and thinner and shabbier as. the years roll on, but always the f ever I of hope burns in their eyes, and they come up at the beginning of every new session rejuvenated foi the moment with the hope that they have another -chance. _ A Mind Reader. ''Unfortunately boys cannot be apprenticed 'ultimately/ " says one of George Eliot's characters, a moth ar who was compelled to de?ay her son's education because her husband lost money by a man who cheerful ly proposed paying it "ultimately."

The tendency among English peo ple to clip long words into short ones or even into monosyllables is notorious. Thus "cabriolet" has be come cab, "omnibus" bus and so on. .But the change of "zoological" into zoo is, to any ono who knows the origin of the word, the most exas perating of ail, and yet we now meet with zoo in well written journals. . There is another variation, which .comes simply from bad pronuncia tion, as when a cockney holiday maker tells you he has been to the.

Aheap man u never popular with the The Han Who Electrocutes. When he killed the Van Wormer boya in the State prison at Danne mora last ?reek Stato Electrician Ed ward E. Davis finished his 74th exe cution by electricity. Of these 71 ooourred in this State? two in Massa chusetts and one in Ohio. mi . _ % . ? % . . *.. imo UKI ii, wau ?uveuieu ene electric chair, owns the patents on it and is the only man who oan absolutely bo depended upon to conduct an execu tion without a h .ich, is remarkable in other ways. Thus, wherever ho goes he Hooke by himself. He rarely speaks to anybody unless he is spoken to first, and then he is found to be a most af fable person, moro than anxious to talk about himself and his work. He will cheerfully answer any ques tion put lo him, DO matter how per sonal it may bc. About his work ho is absolutely cold blooded. He looks upor. an execution as a matter of business, nothing else. In this he reminds one very much of lit tle Joe Atkinaoo, the old Tombs hangman, who was as cheerful an exe cutioner as one would care to meet. "My dear fir, I 'do not kill these men," said Mr. Davis just after the Van Wormer orcoution to an inquirer. "The people of tho State of New York, acting through a Judge and a Jury, kill them. "I am simply the instrument of the law. ? work the machinery by which the State of New York takes the lives of murderers." Davis is a little, gray haired man of 60. Ask a New York politician who is tho hardest mau in the city to find and he will toll you Tim Sullivan. Ask a State official at Albany, espe cially Superintendent of Prisons Col lins, who is the hardest man in the State to find and he will tell you it is Davis? Dav** is a living mystery. He slips from place to place, never main tainin g residence in a given locality for any length of time and rarely letting any body know where he is. Every once it a while he appears suddenly in Albany, maps out his work for the next few months, and then goes away %ain,~ whither nobody knows. He jan be absolutely de pended-upon, however, to put in an appearance at a State prison where there v.] to be au exeoution several days before it is to take place. He goes right to the death chamber and gets everything in readiness, and after the exeoution he goes away as silently and as mysteriously as he came. The State pays Davis $150 fer each man fra kills. It has tried relatedly to buy ono of his patents, but he mil not sol}. If he should die there are probably plenty of men who would be able to work his apparatus, but it would be more or less of an experi ment, even if an electrician willing to do the work oould be found. Davis' mysterious movements are ut tributed by some to a fear of assas sination. Davis was asked about this recently and laughed heartily. ' He receives manv thr*,5t4D?Dor letters, he said, but pays no attention to them, ' ' ? The night before an exeoution Davis goes to bed early and leaves word that every precaution is to be taken not to have any nelso ?round his ???ID. He sleeps like a top and wakes up bright and early. His work in the death chamber, out side of preparing the apparatus, is very slight. Ho looks bu while the keep ers strap the min in, then puts his hand on the switch and at a alight signal turns on the onrrent. . He never leaves the switch after the first shook until the man. in the chair is officially declared dead. Very naturally Borne people haye an aversion tb Davis because he is the Stato executioner. Far from being annoyed by this, David is rather amus ed. . * At a recent ex?cution Davie took dinner at a hotel near ?the prison. Several regular boarders at the hotel refused to sit at the .table with him, preferring to witt until he was through. Davis calmly ate his dinner, rcadiog his paper the while, and then smoked two ci gore Trhile the hungry boarders waited for him to getaway. Davis has no assietant. He docs his work alone, and, unpleasant cathe work may seem, ho certainly does it well, - ' -i-- i- i . ? . :; Walling for the Message.

Carolina are bciug putout of busi ness by the temperance people. The last Legislature passed a bill that closed all the rural distilleries, 150 or moro, in July; and tho fall elections are either giving the towns dispon - saries or putting them dry. An Anti-Saloon League, with Jo seph W. Bailey, editor of the Biblical Recorder, tho organ of the Baptist Churoh in the State, as chairman, was organised in Raleigh carly in the year and some effective work is being done by it. Thc following towns have been oarricd, some for absolut.' pro hibition and some for dispensary: Wilson, dispensary; Statcsvillu, pro hibition; Gold Hill, prohibition; Ben son, prohibition; Elm City, dispen sary; Wadjsboro,..prohibition; Eliza beth City, prohibition; Raleigh, tho Stste Capital, dispensary; Oxford, dispensary; Ruthorfordton, prohibi tion; and Hillsboro, prohibition. The liquor men have scored a fow victories. They oarricd Tarboro for saloons instead of dispensary; Rox boro, against prohibition; Roidsville, against prohibition; and Morgantown, against prohibition. So far no move has boen made at Charlotte, Wilmington, Greensboro, Winston, Salem or Asheville, the Ave leading business towns of tho Stato. But there is no telling how long this can be said; for a wave of temperance is sweeping the State. It looks as if the anti-saloon forces were determined> to substitute prohi bition or a dispensary for bar rooms wherever they exist. The .preachers make campaign speeohes from the pul pit and some of them work at tho poll ing places. As long as the negro was a faotor in politics in North Carolina the Prohi bitionists stood no show of winning, but with Ms vote eliminated* they carry everythiu/5 before them.

Old ago, the premature old age, which is the only kind we know is a patholog ical condition. Such are the opinions of Dr. Elie Metohnikoff, not a fakir but a serious person, who studies things through a miorosoope at the Pasteur Institute. Eaoh of us swarms with tiny beasts of p*rey, which travel up and down our bodies, seeking what they may devour. By attacking 0 our beneficent cells, previously weakened by the unwise life we all lead, they produce an artificial senility, the mal ady which kills those men whom in our ignorance we call very old. Look ed at from Dr. Metohnikoff* s stand point, old age is merely, a problem for medical science. How shall we help our beneficent cells in their struggle against the enemy? One way would be to take every baby and out out his larger intestine, an organ which ought not to have been included in our anatomy. At present this can not be done as the method .would be to destroy the beasts of prey. But we do not yet know what they er-etly are. Somo are a*legacy left b. .;ur ancestors, immediate and remote ??ho suffered from heritable diseased. Others, more mysterious; aro perhaps the instruments of a '.ort of essential disease, of that old age whioh preco ciously kills all who do not die still earlier of tuberculosis, pneumonia, the bubonic plague, or croup. Until we kuow more we can only reform our diet, eating little meat or none, and subsisting chiefly on' butter, cheese and sour milk. By these imperf edt means we may prolong life a little -200 years or so. Up to ninety, for. example, we may he as active as the president of the United States and thereafter, for a hundred years or more, as reflective as the prime min ister of England. This would still leave os half a century for art, phil anthropy, poker or croquet. ? But vhen death does finally .draw near, will not its approach be as distasteful .as over? By no means, says the doc tor. Under present conditions death is like an unnatural sleep, whioh over takes us early in the day-say before dinner. In the futuro it will come after a fall meal, when the Sly's work ia dog?. |. : . . Could not Decide. There is a story going the rounds of "the Western papers about twin brothers, one of whom was demented and was ordered by the Court to be committed to any asylum. The other brother accompanied him to the in stitution.
