New York, Feb. 22.—Grand Duke Alexis has started for Moscow, ac cording to a Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg. When remonstrated with he is said to have replied: I am on the list of those condemned to death, so it does not matter.” ECHOES FROM RUSSIAN STRIKE. No business can possibly be successful that is not adver tised. This is a sweeping statement, but it is true. There are gome merchants in this community 'whose experience apparently contradicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have attained any degree of success they liave advertised. They have let people know what they had to sell, what they were here for and what they proposed to do. Just in proportion to the thorough ness with which they have done this and met the conditions of their competitors they have suc ceeded. If they have used the newspa pers they have worked with the best tools so far as getting pub licity is concerned. If they have worked without the newspapers they have been handicapped and have not attained the highest possible measure of success. A fertile seed planted in fertile ground, carefully watered, will thrive and bear fruit A properly organized business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed. The law of growth is as certain and inexosahU fa one case aa the other. Democratic Party at Warsaw Issues a Manifesto. Warsaw, Feb. 22.—The Polish na tional Democratic party has issued a manifesto discountenancing a revolu tion. “There are no arms,” says the doc ument, “no money and no leaders and no aid can be expected from other countries. Austria is weak, France is Russia's ally and England is always practical. Therefore a revolution would only result in useless bloodshed. Better continue the work quietly and peacefully and attain our ends.” All the schools in this city are now closed except the elementary schools for young children, the proprietors of private schools having decided to close owing to the uncertainty of the situa tion. Trains for Vienna are unable to leave Warsaw in consequence of the fitrike. Later in the day all the em ployes of the Vienna railroad struck, and the entire traffic by direct route from Warsaw to Austria and Ger many was suspended. The strikers forcibly prevented the bringing out of locomotives from the round houses. i Russian Raiders Damage Railroad. Tien Tsin, Feb. 22.—About 300 Rus sian raiders slightly damaged the rail way between Halcheng and Taitche- kiao on Monday night and again dis regarded the neutrality of the terri tory west of the Liao river. The pres ence of Chinese soldiers was not re ported. It is evident that the vil- tlagers keep the Russians well in formed as to the dtspoisltion of the Japanese stores at Nidchlatun, but they retired without an engagement. The damage to the railway was im mediately repaired. THREW BABY INTO FIRE PiT. Some of the Most Infl ential Person ages In St. Peterst irg Have An nounced for Peace, but -Minister Lamsdroff Hasn’t Male a Move. Paris, Feb. 22.—Rusia has not giv en any indication to ifance that she is ready to take up peace and therefore here do not feel qualifi Ft. Petersburg report else terms. The re] ed substantially as folows: “The public sentinent has lately been steadily augmenting throughout Russia, particularly okside of St. Pe tersburg and within rtcent days some of the most iniiuenti j personages in St. Petersburg have < nme out favora ble to peact and ha 1 e sought to im press responsible o: icia)ls that the time has arrived to lake definite ac- j tion. However, those having the chief responsibility, such ai Foreign Minis ter Lamsdorft, have lot yet shown a willingness to accept eacc arguments Therefore, so long as the Russian for eign office is ~ot prepared to accept the peace view, it is ionsidered doubt ful of achievement, j In spite of this, the peace reports ^re considered a hopeful sign of a tendency in the high est quarters toward peace.” The Japanese lefition points out that peace negotiations require certain definite steps between the parties, and as Russia has not yet made the slight est overture to Japan concerning terms to Russia, in which position to elab orate Pacific conditions. The officials of tho legation incline to the view that the St. Petersburg reports were designed to sound official eentiment in Japan. What Tokio will say is not known. Engineer Is Covered with Pistol WhIU Dastardly Crime Is Committed. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 22.—<}. W McCaffery, engineer In charge of an 18-horse power boiler in a building on Furnace street has informed the po lice that about 2 o’clock last Tues day morning two men and fc woman entered the boiler room and while one man covered him with a brace of re« volvers, the other threw a package into the fire pt on the red-hot coals. McCaffery says he heard the scream of a baby as the package struck the fire. Before leaving, the men threatened to kill McCaffery if he ever revealed a word of the matter. McCaffery says he has hedn unable to eat or sleep since, and could keep siFent no longer. All three of the party were so dis gulsed that he would not give a good description of them. BOY KILLED BY STREET CAR. Little Fellow Attempted to Cross the Track and la Run Down. Atlanta, Feb. 22.—While in the act of running across Davis street near Hunter at 8:15 o’clock Wednesday morning, Horace Arthur Plunkett, 8 years old, was run down by a Magnolia and Orme street car. Though C. W. Long reversed his cur rent when he saw the boy start across the street, he was too late, and the child, caught under the render, was dragged several yards up the street. When the car could be stopped, the child was extricated and his father, R. T. Plunkett, an employe of the West ern and Atlantic railroad, who resides at 99 Davis street, was notified. The child, who was still avive, although his head was crushed, was put in the car, and with his father started for the hospital. The boy, howeved, died at Marietta street, and his remains were then taken to the undertaking establishment of H. M. Patterson. ENGINE LEAPS INTO RIVER. Two Engineers Believed To -uried In Chattahoochee River. Columbia, Ala., Feb. 22.—The engine and tender of the Central passenger train, No. 13, westbound, pitched head long fnfo the Chattahoochee river here Tuesday night. Engineer E. Pate and Fireman Bates went down with it. The draw to the bridge was partly open for the passing of a steamboat. A misunderstanding of signals was probably the cause of the disaster. Engineer Pate was well known, hav ing run on this road for 30 years or longer. The rest of the train nar rowly escaped the fate of the engine and its crew. It is supposed that Engineer Hawes was also aboard the engine, and was drowned. The latter was an extra man going to his run out of Dothan. COLLEGE MUST PAY FINE. Penalty for Co-Education of Races by Kentucky Court. Richmond, Ky., February 22.—Berea college has been fined $1,000 for vio lation of the Day act. This is the law passed by the gener al assembly of Kentucky at Its last session prohibiting the co-education of the white and negro races. WTiile the law is general in form, it was aimed directly at Berea college, which has for 50 years conducted a school and college for the education of all youth of a good moral character. When the law was passed the col lege authorities at once declared theii intention to abide by its provisions pending a decision as to its consti tutionality. In order to raise the ques tion a technical violation of the act was committed and on such violation, by consent, the college as a corpora tion was indicted. Trial* of a Reporter. (Gastonia News.) Many people have pequliar ideas about a reporter. They think all he has to do is Just to listen to the stories people tell him and write them out for the paper. Well, that is true. But this is not so easily done as nu)i*t people imagine. A reporter for a lo cal paper who imagines he has an easy job is not likely to get much done. It takes work and a lot of It to get up the little local happenings in a town like Gastonia. Items of news must usually be verified so as to he reasonably sure that they are true or that there is at least no mis take. People are generally truthful when making statements to- a news paper man and for that reason news paper reports are far more reliable than rumors. The best newspaper reporters in the world occasionally make mistakes just as anybody else does. Mistakes in print are muen more easily seen than they are in conversation. There is always an in centive for a -“porter to work. In the first place he usually likes that kind of work. If he don’t he will quit it and go into something else in which there is usually more money to be made. But the great incentive in the dai'y grind of work is the cry of the "devil” for copy. The newspaper man doesn’t live who does not know full well the significance of the cry from the composing room of “Got any copy?” The man who keeps the copy hook filled knows that on him depends the work of the entire force in the shop, for a newspaper cannot be got ten out without copy. The man who goes out on the streets of a town to get something of what is going on around him must have what the pro fession calls a “nose for news;” he must be watchful and let no item of importance slip from him. There is a great difference in the ability of men to get news. No two men would get the same items in the same ter ritory. Each man must judge for him self what is interesting to his readers. There is also a great difference in the amount reporters get up. One man will work hard all day and come in at night with less than a column of “stuff,” and another will grind out several columns of readable news. Two columns of good unpadded local news is,, however, pretty good day’s work for most reporters. A reporter to get more must work strenuously. Local news is the field of The News. It usually gives its readers from twelve to fifteen columns each issue, the columns being eight-column size which is longer than the regular seven column paper. The largest amount of local news The New’s has ever contained was the issue before the last Fourth of July celebration when the paper contained over twen ty columns practically all gotten up by one man. Don’t let anybody in Gastonia reach the conclusion fhat the reporter has an easy job. He has his work and trials just like o'her people. When he passes along gathering up the little items that are of interest, help him if you can by- giving him an item, and in this way you help the paper and give publicity to the happenings of the town.

Washington and incidental ly of President Roosevelt, by the Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris In the Mount Olive Baptist church (African) in West Fifty-third street, has caused a great uproar among a large audience of negroes in the midst of which two women fainted. Dr. Morris is pastor of the Ab/slnnian Baptist church. His remarks which were frequently interrupted brought hisses and ories of “Outrage!” Later he was de nounced by a number of clergymen and laymen. Big Dakota Farms. (Tit-Bits.) “Yes, sir,” resumed the Dakota far mer, as the crowd of agriculturists seated themselves round a little table; “yes, sir, we do things on rather a sizeable scale. I’ve seen a man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and plough a straight furrow until au tumn. Then he turned round and liar- vested back. We have some big farms up there, gentlemen. A friend of mine owned one which he had to give a mortgage on. and I pledge you my word th° mortgage was due at one end before they could record it at the other. You see. it was laid out in coun ties. And the worst of it is it breaks up families so. Two years ago I saw a whole family prostrated with grief— women yelling, children howling and dogs barking. One of my men had his camp truck packed on seven four-mule teams, and he was going around bid ding everybody good-bye.” “Where was he going?” “He was going half-way across the farm to feed the pigs,” replied the Da kota man. “Did he ever get back to his fam ily?” “It isn’t time for him yet. Up there we send young married couples out to milk the cows, and their children bring home the milk.” THE TAILOR MADE Hand Welted Sole. Exten sion edge. Ideal Patent Kid.

Tokio, Feb. 22.—The headquartere of the Japanese army in Manchuria reports a continuance of the Russian bombardment of various parts of the Japanese line.

Romo on Verge of Bread Famine. New York, Feb. 22.—Rome is on the verge of a bread famine, according to a Herald dispatch, as a result of a general strike of the bakers of that dty.

New York, Feb. 22.—Joseph Mc Grath, long regarded as the oldest New Yorker, died at the home of his daugh ter, Mrs. Catherine Ruddy. He leaves more than 200 descendants, including great-grand-children. He was born in the county of Armagh, Ireland, in the year of the 1798 rebellion. AH through his life McGrath smoked and drank in moderation, and for 50 years was a Tammany Hall Democrat. Fell Dead on Way to Jail. Pittsburg, Feb. 22.—Daniel Dwyer, an election officer In the thirteenth ward, dropped dead while being taken to jail charged with ballot box stuff ing. The fight over the city comptrol- lership is very bitter, and there have been many fights at the polls. Dur ing the morning Judge Rogers, of the common pleas court, issued 25 war rants for fraudulent voting. He Lost His Dignity. A pompous individual from the east, says a Texas newspaper, happened to be traveling in western Texas and stopping at a hotel, when trouble started among some cowboys, who prepared to conduct the argument with revolvers. "Stranger,” said a Texan to the pompous man, “it would be a good idee fur you to lay down on the floor till this dispute is settled.” “It does not comport with the dig nity of a Boston gentleman of my pro fession.” said the pompous gentleman, “to wallow in the dirt on the floor.” “You may be right, stranger,” an swered the Texan as he prepared to recline, “but my opinion is that you had better lose yer dignity for the time bein’ than to have the daylights let into your system by a 44.” He lost his dignity. what we have any way to show you.
