HV HO WA KD KIKL.DINO. The very excellent woman who was cook in iny father's household was af flicted with a actiouu impairment of vision in the last years of her service. 1 remember how she used to take a big pinch of salt and wave it over a roast of meat with the mistaken notion that she was dropping a little hete and there. Then she would suddenly open her hand and all the salt would fall in one place. It is thus that blind fate seasons our lives with the condiment of adventure. As a rule we get it in a lump! This philosophical reflection is sug gested by tho recent remarkable expe rience of a young friend of mine. She is a charming girl, blond, petite ami graceful and possessed of a very prom ising voice, for tho cultivation of which she came to the city. She took up her abode in a genteel boarding house where some friends of hers were living, and everything was very ordinary ami commonplace. Her early life had run as quiet as tho brooks mentioned by BpartOOUS, the gladiator, and there was no reason to suppose that it would not continue to do 30. She had been to the theater with her J friends and bad had a bit of supper , and was homo again a little after mid night. As she entered the dark room tho. moon peeped in through the win dow at her. It was a thin, silver cres cent and it looked very nice up there in tho sky. Edith threw a couple of cushions on the door by tho window and Bat thoro gazing out at tho heavens. There wns nothing especially romantic about it?the moon and the stars were pretty; that was all. How long she sat there she docs not know. She was suddenly startled by the opening and closing of a door. The key turned in tho lock, and then she heard the ring of it as it fell to the i lioor. Facing about she saw tho dark tig ure of a man by tho door. The form was barely distinguishable in the gloom. Edith tried to scream, but, greatly to her surprise, her voice wouldn't serve her; it seemed to be cogged liko one's limbs in a nightmare. This was surprise, not fear. The intruder heard her, howovoi. He had been standing in a stooping position, with his ear against the door, but he sprang away from it and faced her at tho sound of her choked cry. "You keep still 1" he said in a voice so monstrously hoarse and rough that Bho knew it must be assumed. "It* you make a noise, I'll kill you I" There was just light enough for her to see a shining object in the hand that was outstretched toward her. tidith was brave; most people are who have been guarded from alarms during their youth. What she lacked was not courage, but experience. Courage said: "Keep cool. Don't make a fuss. Ho won't hurt you." Experience would have said: "Yell ! " Yell liko a scared elephant I It's the only chance you've got I" "What do you want f" she demand ed. "What are you doing here ?" "Keep still I" he said in a growling whisper. Edith kept still. It seemed to her that there had never been any such stillucs8 before. The house was like a tomb, and the whole city out side was listening and forgot to mur mur. "I must think, I must think," the girl was saying to herself, but she couldn't think. She knew that this man was a burglar, but all her other ideas weut whirling round and round in absurd eon fusion. There was a sound of steps in the hall. Tho door of the large room at the rear end on tho same door was opened. Edith had never seen tho lodger there, but she knew the room was occupied by a man. She opened her mouth to scream. Now, the burglar, being an expe rienced person, knew perfectly well that this impulse would seize her at that moment. He knew also that if he sprang upon her her voice would be released from her throat. Instead he merely thrust his revolver close to her face. The sudden clear view of this object has almost a hypnotic In fluence. Instead of screaming she started back with a gusp and threw up her hands as if to waid off a bullet. "I ain't goin' to hurt you," growled the man. "I'm goin' to stay here about two minutes, and then I'm goin' to skip. Don't you yell aficr I'm gone, because if you do I'll come back and fix you for it. Have you got any money?" "1 have only a few cents," she said, and, greatly to her surprise, he seem ed to know that she was telling the truth. "Gimme that watch," he continued, and, with wild rage in her heart, min gled with contempt of herself for yield ing, she gave him the diamond stud ded trinket that was her most cherished possession. How he knew that she had a watch was a mystery to hor, oven in that moment. Poor child I She had clutch ed at it in tho bosom of her dress the instant he had asked her for her money. Ho took it in his hand, and then somo sudden change seemed to come over him. Ho sprang hack to tho door and put his head against it for a moment. Then, with frantic haste, he began to feel around on the floor for the koy. He seemed not to pay any attention to her, and this was so surprising that she forgot to cry out, though she could have done it in safety. She saw that he was fumbling in his pockots. Then he tried the door with out any attempt to do so quietly. It rattled under his hand, hut it was heavy and strong. "Get matches l" he called over his shouldor to her. "Light a match aud hold it down here on the lloor." She was more than willing to help hi in get out oven though he hrd her watch, and she ran toward him, fancy ing that she knew where the key had fallen. In that instant she realised what was in his mind. As sh? runic, forward a strong aud acrid blast Struck Oer in tho face. Smoko was whirling in around the door. A sudden and awful cry arose from tho lower part of the houso. "There ain't any lire oscape on this houso 1" said the man in a tone thai would have frightened an iron image, it was so full of terror. "We're locked in 1" Wo'ro dono for 1" lie shoved the door once more and then groveled on the door seeking the key. lie was talking to himself. His voice had taken on a different tone. "I must have set it afire with thoso matches in tho basement," ho said. "Unless tho firemen get us wo aro gone 1" Edith was on the floor by this time, groping about as madly as he was. And that is her last memory of the scene. Confused and vague impressions succeoded the actual recollection. She seemed to be clutched by some crea ture of enormous strength, to be drag-' ged over rough placets and then up, up in the dark, where theie was no air. There was the sound ol* florce blown struck upon sonic resounding substance and suddenly a sense of pcaco and j safety. It seemed as if she were lying in a Held at home where she used to play. There was no more danger or trouble. She would have been happy lying there but for the strange pain in her throat, happy and content to lie there lookiug up at the stars. The slats ? Why, to bo sure ! There they I were, blinking down at her, and she was not in that tield, but on the roof of a house. Someone was crouching beside her and holding her head on his arm. ?'You're alright, now," he said. "We came up through the scuttle. I'll tell you it was a hard fight. Hut don't you worry. Here's your watch. 1 pick ed it up oil' the tloor." He propped her against some small structure on the roof and put the watch in tier lap. She could see bis face clear ly. It was a dark, handsome, manly countenance. T?c voice was no long er rough; it was of a deep register, but soft and sympathetic in lone. "You risked your life lo save me !" die cried. "Well, I couldn't leave you there in n dead faint, you know," he respond ed almost apologetically. "There are some things that a fellow simply can't do." "1 don't sec how you cau do any thing that isn't right," she said. -'You don't look capable of it." "You arc very flattering," lie re plied. "And now you won't be flight ened if I leave you here alone? We're quite a long way from the lire. I've carried you over three or four roofs. Ah, here come, some people." A scuttle in the roof was lifted and a man's head appeared. VJo climbed out, another followed. There was quite a parly, both men and womcu, who bad come to watch the destruction of their neighbor's property. The rescued maiden appealed to their sympathies and they all volunteered to accompany her to tho street to look for her friends. One of the men assured her that all had escaped from the house and that no one had been injured. "I'm ^oiug to slip away," said her rescuer tu her ear, "if you need me no :?ngcr." She stepped aside with him and g'<ve him nor hand. It was a hard situation and she could not Und the words to mtitea it. ?We cannot talk now," she said, "I cannot thank you as I would wish to. Promiue me that you will give mo an other opportunity?aud?and?tell me your name."' "Promise me that you wont men tion it," he said earnestly. "There are reasons"? "Yes, I fully understand. 1 prom ise." ?'My name is rather grewsome," said he." "It's Graves?David Graves. Don't tell on me, please. I couldn't stand it to get mto the papers." "You need have no fear that I will betray you," she replied. "I feel in regard to you more than I can say. l'romiso me that you will let me sec you again. My name is Edith Mason, and?and I don't live anywhere now, of course, but you can always address mo at Burton's conservatory of music. Indeed you can see me there. Prom ise me you will." "1 promise gladly," said he. "And meanwhile," she continued, "don't let anything drive you to?to that again." "To what?" "Burglary," she whispered, (making. "It must be some terrible need that forces a man like you to such a life. 1 can help you. My family and my friends will do anything for you if you will let me tell the truth. 1 have no money, a? I told you, but?but wou't you take my watch? It was so good of you to restore it to me. Take it and soil it and pay your way until you and 1 can talk and come to some decision about what you can do. J'lcasc, ploase lake it I" She thrust her treasure into his hand. He sank back on the low party wall dividing that roof from the next. "I'm afraid I don't quite understand,' he said feebly. Are you sure you're quite right in?in your mind ? Dread ful shock, you know. Wouldn't you better go down into this house and get some rest ?" "No, no; I am alright!" she cried. "Don't hesitate to take the watch. I really mean to give it to you." "lint I couldn't take such a reward," he gaoped. "And as for money and do ing things for me? Why, I'm not poor. I'm quite well off." "Then why?why did you do it?" she whispered frantically. "Do what?" he demanded. "Why, what you did tonight I" she gasped. "That awful trade I That weapon !" "My poor child," he said tenderly, "tliis has been a great deal too much for you, hasn't it? I can readily un derstand how you're upset. But this burglar business really is queer, you know." "You don't mean to deny," she whispered, "that you broke into that house and set it afire by lighting matches in tho basement and held a pistol in my face"? "Did?did somebody do that ?" he exclaimed. "Don't 1 Don't speak so loud 1 Denial is useless and"? "Miss Mason," he said very gently, "I am? or was?your neighbor. I had the room hack of yours in that house I had just come in when the lire broko out. 1 ran into the hall. Your door was open. I saw?and oh, thank heaven that I saw it?tho while of your dress upon the floor with in. You had fainted. In picking you up in my arms I found your watch lying hosido you. The flairs wero im passable. Somehow wc got to the roof. I don't know any more about it." She look both his hands by a sudden impulse nnd looked into his face. Then she laughed witti shoor nervous ness perhaps or with joy that thin man to whom sho owed so much was not what sho had thought him. "How can I thank you? How can I boa vour nardon ?" "Easily, easily," said he. "Just don't mention my name, 'i he con founded papers would write me up as a hero. I have a moro than mortal horror of that fate. Just lot's keep it for our secret, please.

The Kind You Have Always Bought THE SOUTH IS THREATENED. OP Ai'POHTIONMKNT. Kxireme lit public-ant* Want to Cut Down Representation to Actual Vote C'ftHt. Mr. Wm. 10. Curtis, tho most noted newspaper correspondent in Washing gton, In discussing tho roapportlon monl In Congress, writes as follows: Tho fourteenth amcudmuut to tho constitution of tho United Stati s pro vides that representatives in Congress shall ho apportioned among tho States I according to their respective numbers, counting tho whole number of persons 'in each State, excluding Indians not taxed ; at when tho right to vote at any election, etc., Is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, etc., or in any way abridged, etc., tho basis of representation shall be reduc ed in tho proportion which tho numb.T of such male olt'/ona shall boar to tho whole number of male citizens Ul yoar> of age in each State. The oonaus roturus, which hio now being computed, will show tbo number of rualo citizons In each State. The returns from tho rocent elections in Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Mississippi and other of the South ern States which have disfranchised tho colored population will shew tho number allowed to voto. If a ditferont basis of calculation lu desired, tho cen sus roturuB will glvo tho numbor of illiterates In oach State. Several of tho Southern States, lu order to pro hibit nogroos from votlug, have estab lished an oducatlonal qualification. Persons who caunot road and write ?ro not allowed to voto unless they served lu the Coafodorato army or tholr parents woro voters prior to tho adoption of tho fifteenth amoudmont. That lots in tho " poor white trash." An educational qualification prevails In Massachusetts, Uhodo island and perhaps some of tho othur States as woll as In th" Soith, but wad adopted for different roasons. It Is dlracult to aoo how Congress can ignore the fourteonth amendment in preparing tho ruapportlonmcnt bill which will be acted upon ut tiie next session, and tho attention of Rjproson tative Hopkins, who will ho chairman of tho committee, la reapectfully di rected to that Instrument. According to tho constitution tho apportionment must bo based upon tho population of I tho different States, aftur deducting the number of Illiterates that bavo been disfranchised in Massachusetts, South Carolina and olaowhere. If thie Is not dono tho apportionment law may bo set aside as void, If anybo ly will tako tho trouble to bring tho matter before tho supremo court. Some of tho Republican loaders aro conferring as lo tho propriety of apply ing this constitutional provision to tho Southern States, which would lose about ono-thlrd and in somo cases one half of their representation In Con gress and In tho electoral colloge. If tho vote of South Carolina, for exam ple, is made a basis of apportionment, that State will be entitled to one mem ber of Congress, becauso the entire number of ballots cast in the seven Congressional districts did not exceed tho number polled for some of tho members from the Northern Statee. Yet these seven South Carolina dis tricts have seven tlmea aa much repre sentation in Congress and the electoral college as tho districts in the North. If any one will tako the trouble to look at tho returns ho will notice that verj few Republican votes are ever cast South of Tennessee and Missouri. No canvass was made by the Uepubll* cans this year in any of tho Gulf State? or in South Carolina, Georgia or Ar kansas. Tho reason for this was re cently explained in the United States Senate by Mr. Tlllman, who said " wo cheatod thorn, wo bulldozod them, wo sb H thom, and tlnally drove thorn away from tho polls." Under tho Tlll man systom, for example, Mr. Norton of South Carolina, was olecteil to Con gress by 1,765 votes to 151 for Mr. Fvans, his opponont, while Mr. Cald woil, of Illinois, received 23,2i*'l, against 21,053 for his opponent. Mr. Caldwell alone rocolved noarly as many votes us wore east for all tho sovon members of Congrosd from South Carolina ot Miss issippi. Mr. FOSS, Of Illinois, received more. An examination of tho returns from South Carolina shows a singular uni formity In the number of votes cast In 1 Si>S for live of tho seven members us follows : Dem. It-^p. First district. 3 030 1,629 Second district. 4.073 1 22 Third district. 4.029 .132 Fourth district.. 4,407 1(35 Fifth district. 4 230 None Sixth district. 1 705 151 Seventh district. 1,433 595 Totals.2(5.027 2,804 Mississippi furnishes a similar illus tration. Tho largest number of votos cast for any member of Congress from that Slate was 4,943. fn ono district the Hopublican candidate received 58, In another 373, in another 142, in un o'.hor 327 and in another 171, while in two remaining districts no Itopublican votes woro cast, at all. The country districts of Illinois olTor a good comparison : Dom. lie p.

Thus, In Illinois 274,37V votors have sovon representatives, or an aver age of one momber of Congress to 39,107 voters. In Mississippi there Is a repre sentative for every 3.6M3 votors, and in Sou,.i Carolina orn for every 4,119. Tho average mi mhtr of OongroeB from Illinois represents 10.000 inoro voters than all tin seven representatives from South C&rolloa or the seven from Miss issippi combined. Othor lessons can bo drawn from this comparison I', it iquahy unjust for tho Southern States to havo suuh an oxcesslvo representation in tho elec toral collogo and in the national con ventions which nominate tho Presi dent. If tho negro Is not to participate In the government ho should not bo ropresontod In Conpr? -s or in tho elec toral collece. and in- >-e who prohibit his partloipat ion ought not to enjoy the advBM??'?- th? y receive by the disfranchlsem .t.i of a part of their population. This is not e new qu< stion, but It will eomo at the spproacl ing session of Congress v*it>> more, force than ever bofore. Some of luo Republican load ers?and I understand that tho Presi dent is among them?think It would not be wlso to do anything that will oxolto unfrlondly fooltng in tho South, bocauso so many hudnoss mon In that section aro leaving tho Democratio party and coming over to the Republi cans. ?A. resident of Ihyrnfiuth, Mbbb., Dr. iBaao Ij.

In h?r " Lifo of Jackson " sho said ; "Tho homo of my girlhood wad a largo, old-fatdiloucd houso, surrounded by an extonBivo grovo of pine forost trees, on a plantation in Lincoln County, North Carolina. My father was Rev. Dr. Hobort llall Morrison, tho first prosldont of Davidson college. Ho was a graduate of tho univr-slty of tho State, and of tho saioo ca.a as President James K. Polk, liithop Greun and othors of noto in church ami State. Mrs. Jackson's mother was Mary Graham, daughter of Gon. Joseph I Graham of Revolutionary famo, aud slstor of Gen. W. A.

After finishing school Julia married W. E. Christian, a talented newspaper man, now lu tho service of tho Sea board Air Lino railroad at Portsmouth, Va. Mrs. Jackson lived with the young couple in St. Paul, Minn., Min neapolis and othor western towns up to 1889, when Mrs. Christian died, after which she returned to her home In Charlotte, and brought with her Juliu and Jackson Christian, her grand children.

Orr, presjmmt und treasurer of the Pied mont Manufacturing Oompauy, south Carolina, testified thai, as a rule, no negro help was employed in the cot ton mills except for mich labor us Is placed upon scavengers, tin men, etc. Mr Orr believes that preference should be given to white labor as long as It can bo got, because it has had a hard time In the ioulh in competition wltb negro labor, aud this is tho only sphere, as It were, set r. ddc for Its benelil. bo far as ho io eoncorned, ho proposes to uso white labor whenever he can do so to t- !vantage. N gro labor was used in the S>uth for a Dum ber o' yeara before tue war to a umitou extent, ami a CttSO Id olted at tho late Saluda mill, mar Uoiumbla, where somo negro labor was uuip uyt d. Some mills use negroes on the piokeru in the plck?r room. Mr. Orr did not uousldei it d<. .irablo to mix tho race? in ihotr i mployment. In the lirdt place, between the cia^t of handd that work In ine mill and tho negro laborer thuro le considerable j fei ling, and, in tho second pla< o, tbo social feature that It would bring about would bo objeotionab'o. Tnls fooling Is not carried to the same uxtont on tho farnid nor lu the mines, as thero tho labor consists principally of men, wheroas In the cotton m?h there is a largo number of women. Tho t( ndency of colored labor in South Carolina is to work for a less rate of wages man tho whito, as they can llvoon very much le-b, and tho effect is to hohl ilnwn white- labor to a lower levol. In tho matter of tho eolonis ttion of tho negro, which has been advocated by aomo of tho witnesses beforo tho commission, the judgment of Mr. Orr was that it would bo a great misfor tune to tho South if any schomo of colonization should bo carried out. Negro laoor is tho beat for tho farm that tho South can get. Negroes can livo on leas and they can do more work when properly treatod thao any other olass of labor that tho South has. 15ut for tho negro labor the South could no* ltvo on tivo cent cotton, and In his opinion woro It not for live cent cotton tho South would not bo ablo to coutrol tho cotton markets of tho world.

Whitsitt, lute president of the Southern Baptist Theo logical Horalnary, mudo u notable ad dress before tho Baptist Congress, which has been in session ut Rich mond, Vu., in which ho adhered to his old position with reference to Baptist history, which created ^ueh a contro versy in the denomination, and his utterances were oven bolder than here tofore. Dr. Whltsitt s-aid : " Southern Baptists are divided in sentiment. One. party asserts that Bap* tlsts uro not I'rotestants; the other as serts that no man can be a Baptist ex cept in name only, who is not also a Protestant. To hoid and teach tho doctrine of a universal spiritual church which, only with respect of tho inter nal work of the spiritual truth of grace, may he called Invisible, is alike a mark of Protestant and of Baptist faith. To deny that doetrine Is under stood tobe a mark of Romanism. Many Southern Baptists deny that doetrine. The doctrine that baptism is essential to salvation appeared shortly after the apostolic age, and brought in Its wake a baptism of necessity, which, In all ages, has been commoniy performed by aspersion and effusion. It was not long before tho distinctive principle of bap tism began by this means to bo over thrown. Tho last man who is shown to have hold and practiced it was Manns, who wroto a letter to Cyprian, of Car thago, about the year 245, in which he appoars to have advocatod the Baptist contention. After that dato, though many churches and parties hold and practiced Immersion, no record has ever yet been discovered of any who hold and practiced that It Is essential to baptism until the Baptists wero restored In 1641. Furthermore his toric testimony regarding tho ro-lntro ductlon of Immersion in 1641, after the rite had long been disused, was abun dant, definite, circumstantial, consis tent and quite a conclusive as tho historic testimony that Napoljon the Kirst was named B'nperor of Franco In 1804. It Is rejeoted by our Baptists < ho arc not I'rotestants, but that is moroly tho result of their substantially Cath olic position." Dr. Whltsitt declared : " So far as present roeearch has gone, no Baptist has been found between A. I). 245 and 1?41, yot tho exigencies of the Baptists who aro not I'rotestants absolutely re qulro that a chain of Baptists shall he demonstrated to oxlst In tho actual succession for ovory day of that pe riod." ?Tho last day of October closed tho fiscal yoar of the State Of Now Jersey.

SOUTH MUST PRKSKKVB NAME. Our People Slioultl Move itn;In A ionic mid Keep >?> the MldtllO of tltu lload. Ldt us movo right straight t\!ong und keep In tho ml?dlu of tho road. All la not lost save honor, nor will the North dtiro to cut down our representation in Congress--such a move woulu alienate their new Southern converts, for Southern Republicans aro at heart all Ulywiiites and have uo use for the negro in politics. Southern Republicans have been under tho ban over since the war, and they realize that it is because they are alligned with the negro. Captain Lowry is all right svhon he says, " but for the negro in polities the Republican party would have a good chanco to capture and hold the South." Tho captain Is a Republican ?a Tennesseean, a Georgian, a banker, I and has traveled much, and his party up North ouglit to give weight to his opinions. Ue Is a gentleman, a man of I integrity, and stands high In financial circles all over the country. Financially ho is a success ami liberal with his money, but ho will not tako Carnegie's advieo and give It all away before lie dies. Tes, tho nigger is still in too woud pile, and the jjko of It is the nigger don't know it. There aro uot a dozen negroes In this country who care a straw about voting. If the white ollieo seekers would let them alone they wouldent go about tho polls on election day. What is wanted i? to purify the candidates. If this can be done in Atlanta why not elsewhere? Wo all rejoiced over tho election o! Major Mlms, for ho ran for mayor as a gentleman ami had no boelere, nor would h<! ask any man lor his vote or allow any corrupt jlootioneering by his friends. Llo stubbornly refused to promise anything to anybody, and. strange to say, was oiected. Hut tho Republican party 1? growing very fast in this section, and will grow into respectability if they will let the j negroalono. Mr. Lowry is right. Some i ' years ago when wo had fullered a ' similar defeat my friond Newt Tumlin ] I was greatly distressed, and told mo in a whisper that there was only one way j to got < ven with them, and that was to jino 'cm. Woll, there are lots of folks j.ning 'em around in those parts, and .' i- hard to tell who is a Democrat and who Is not. They teil m > that a Democratic officeholder ami two of the executive committee id this county votu.l for McKinley and our neighboring eouuty of 1'olk went for him by 50U ; majority. Maybe that i^. an evolution that will stop the threaten.d i t-duetion ? of our representation, for our Republi can friends don't want that to happen any more thau we. do, and they will lilo a protest and tight it. What wo want at the. South is to preserve our good name, our historic honor and our traditions. A section that has produced Washington, J< (Ter son, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and ' Hoik, as presidents, Clay and Calhoun and Li'-o anil Stonewall Jackson and President Davis must hold up her proud head am) vindicate her honor. Who are we V We Import no foreign* era to do our work, and nire no Hes sians to iloour lighting.

Our schools must ho Cleared of Northern rubbish dumped into tho minds of our children. We want a literature that win notenntinue. divisions, but will contain the honest ! relation of facts, that will unify the youth of this country In common ap preciation of the truths of history."

Shortly after ho joined 1 was RSked by several members of the order to join and after declining, wa asked why I objected to beoomlug a member.
