(WOK FOB ElCMiei. Continued from page L personal'service, Mr. Ogden paid this fine tri bate to Dr. Carry, so tenderly remembered ia Richmond : "The appeal for persctaa? service in this holy cans* of popular education comes with largely added force from the fact so painfully impressed apon all familiar "with oar conference life - that we meet today with ranks sadly broken. The.Nestor of this conference Dr. J. lu M. Carry, absent last year on an important government mission to a foreign country, has paid the debt to nature and will personally ap? pear no more at our meetings. An? other opportunity will be given the conference to pay its tribute of respect tc his character and public service. But the solemnity with which we face the question of the personal call to duty is made intensely profound by the thought of the inspiring example of our leader. The massive and in? tense personal force of his nature was dedicated with uncompromising de? votion to the work of universal educa? tion. The moulding power of his con? structive mind will remain permanent? ly impressed upon the education! sys? tems of oar Southern States as an un? ceasing betterment. His last public service was attendance apon the annual sessions of 1;he Education j Boards at New York in January. It is j gratifying to know that from this con- i ference and its cognate forces he de- i rived mach hope and satisfaction in declining years. He courage in Jan? uary was splendid an? he confidently expected a renewal of strength that would warrant his resumption of ac? tive service Bat to the rest of the circle it was plain that ids hopes would not be realized, and we felt, as did the Ephesian elders when parting from St Paul, fuE of sorrow that we should see his face no more. His example is a call io duty, his legacy to os is a bequest of labor for the cause which he and we in common love. As the standard has fallen from his hand, let us raise and carry it floating skyward until we in turn surrender it to other hands. And then maj it be ours to leave the same impress of a noble task well performed as a benediction to oar little world and a challenge to the services of others." The address was' heard with keen attention and every one regarded it a, masterly effort. DR. EDWIN A. ALDERMAN. One of the brightest and^ most charming addresses of the session was delivered^ by Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, of New Orleans. By way of intro? duction to his discussion he said: "I desire to report to this conference to? day the work attempted, the results thos far accomplished and the plans in mind in the Southwestern field since the last session of this conference in April 1902. It should be clearly understood that oar great purpose is to arouse an irresistible public opin? ion for the establishment and mainten? ance of a system of schools adequate for the needs of a free people. The first achievement of this public opin? ion will be the appropriation of suffi? cient money for such schools. This money may be obtained by State ap? propriation, by local taxation and com? munity effort, and by appropriation of unexpended balances by parish and county boards. The next achievement will be the consolidation of weak schools into strong central schools and the hauling of children to these central scuols. It ia believe that bet? ter school houses, the trained teacher and ali other blessings will follow in the wake of these achievements. Much' has been accomplished in these directions by devoted men in the Sooth western field for the last twenty years, but each new generation must fight for its life and! the life of the generation to come. TROUBLESOME MISSISSIPPI. "Democracies aro -not in the habit of being carried in a chariot of en? thusiasm to a height of civic perfec ton. The whole process is a toilsome process of convincing and persuasion. I am not going to sjjeak of difficulties here today ; they aro there, but it is our business to get rid of them. Per-' haps, however, 1 may be pardoned for mentioning the Mississippi River. It costs Louisiana a million dollars a year to control that river in normal times. It will cost it this year a mil? lion and a half in addition to this. This is a very grave difficulty indeed, which the io wer Mississippi Valley should be relieved of by the United States Government, lt has been im? possible to attempt anything prac? tical in the river region" this spring. Still I can say that it has not dim? inished the zeal of these people in educational matters. Indeed, it seems to have increased their interest in a way, as men are always more interest ed in vital things when they are in, trouble. THE FINAL WORD. The last word I have to say to this conference, therefore is a distinct word of hope for the future and of praise to the citizens of Louisiana from Governor Heard to the simplest man among them. Their response to our invitation to take part in this struggle is of such a character as to re? move any doubt in my mind as to the ultimate result. The population of j this resgion is not a tax-hating population. The press of the State, ? rural and urban, is behind this move- j ment. The whole region is feeling the breath of the West and the spirit of illimitable growth and opportunity everywhere entering the consciousness of the Southern people. I have - no novel suggestions to make. The moulding of public opinion is a slow business, but it is splendid and re? novating when it is moulded. The thing for us tc do, therefore, is to Hammer on until the desire for better schools and all that belongs to better schools becomes a contagion to the people It is, perhaps, proper for me to state that as district director of the Southern Education Board it has been my privilege to make thirty-five public addresses in the past year on the subject of education, twenty-six of them being in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and nine in other States. By extensive correspondence with the press and prominent citizens everywhere I have done what I could to forward the purposes of this con? ference in its desire to advance the good life of the nation. The people of Louisiana are ready, as I have said, for large action. Their leaders are enthusiastic and dead in earnest; strengthened and stimulated by the .fniness issuing from this confer ence and from the Southern and ( eral Education Boards, much las good will be done. I deisre tc press my appreciation of the a dence and courtesy of these bo and of the wisdom and sympathy far-sightedness of Dr. Wallace ] trick, general agent of the Gen Education Board. THE NORTH AND THE SO?I The theme assigned Dr. McKel was "the North and the South. " said in part: "My Friends: Those for whom with whom I have the honor to sj would bring to those io whom 11 the honor to speak the greeting of North to the South. New York, f which I come, and Virignia, in wi capital city I speak, belong to aristocracy of America. They numbered among the original t. teen. Both are battle-scared v revolutionary suffering and crow with revolutionary triumphs. B have been united to defend the Un against every foreign foe. Both a] unit in the spirit of right betw men and of justice between S ti which makes and which alone can k th? Republic peace. Our public and our public forces have underg without structural shock a continu development of a century and c quarter of a century of years. Yo underwent prostration and recr??t into and under absolutely new con tiona within a time less than ha] centary past. Of memories you h; as rich an heritage as we. But fi some responsibility and from so retarding causes you are free-and are not. You had the not always jurions opportunity either for a n or for a State to begin all over aga We inherit and we carry all < years with all their infirmities, a with all their errors, as well as w all their advances and successes. Y should be better than we are, * purified as if by fire' is the figure inspiration which signifies dteincu Iberment from alloy and deliverai I from dross, release from rust and fr< I many corrupting and corroding i fluences. The resultant is the cc temporary South, which attests i ! only the originality, the resiliency a ! the indestructibility of your sectic but also the homogeneous characl cf our now happily common count SYMPATHY EXISTS. "The contemporary North is in syj I pathy with the contemporary Sont I We recognize that with you, as wi us, the folk who face toward the f ture outnumber those who face towa ! the past ty many to one. The youi captains and the young soldiers industry refuse no reverence to t veterans of the Civil War on eith side, but the men of this generate are determined to run it. The so: will preserve and will magnify tl fame of their fathers, but they w: not foster or fight over again the feuds, since the fathers themselve an illustrious and a pathetically thi: mpg band, long ago renounced rano and dissolved differences. Let wh, people that may elect to do otherwi. the effectives, both of the North ai of the South, today believe in factor! quite as much as in pantheons, : energy more than in inquests and : school-houses more than in grave A spent quarrel, not of our makir. and not of yours, shall not be revive or reworked to the unmaking < either of us.

Ma their days and ours be still long in th land which the Lord and our Go gave to them-and to us. The fullnes and the fervency and the faith of tbs prayer shall not, however, affect th fact that to the men of each genera I rion belong the moiety of the dutie ? and the whole of the destiny of tha generation. Our fathers fought on the questions which their forefather left unsettled. We recognize and re I joice in the settlement of those ques I tions. But we are resolved tba neither the charm of historical stud; nor the passions nor the pathos o poetry, nor the pious exaltation wbicl shrines incite and monuments inspin shall today hold back North and Soutl I from the new and noble obligation: and from the benign and brother!: competitions of this teeming time Better a decade of love and of peact than a cycle of the mutilations and o I the memories of a civil war!" BECOME LIKE US. Speaking of northern people whc ? come South, he said : "They not only like you, but the j grow into voting with you on ques? tions which affect their business, theil home interests and their racial instinct in the South. If with us they were adherents to one p?rty, with you, bj force of circumstances, they become adherents to another. This does not necessarily involve any change of fund? amental views. It only involves a question of relationship. A blanket could covet both parties in nearly ev? ery State on any questions which they sincerely advance. But a blanket would not cover and it cannot be stretched to cover which of the two parties in all the circumstances is the better instrumentality for the results which must be fostered and preserved in the interests of civilization and the home. Still with yon and with us in intellectual contemplation party is becoming a factor, not a fetich ; a ser? vant, not a master ; a means, not an end. Any other view of it than this tends to make a man not a citizen, but a slave ; not a suffragan, but a serf; not a voter, but a victim. However it may be with you here in toe South with us in the North only the politicians grieve over the disin? tegration between parties or within either party. Only those *bo have long lived and who would longer live upon the public treasury are sorry that the people are inclined with in? creasing frequency to change their servants at the capital, either of the nation or of the State. That tendency corrects the vicious habit inherent in too many office-holders of fawning upon and of fearing their constituents instead of instructing them and lead? ing them. They would substitute isms for principles, devices for doctrines, bids, for facts, promises for perform? ance, diatribes for discussion and de? famation for definitions. They would appeal to the prejudices and to the de? mands of an organized few instead of to the interests, to the honor and to the duty of all. With us the tide of truth and manhood has risen higher among the people than among the man? aging politicians. There has been a manifest and an overwhelming revolt against the lowering concepts public intelligence by beaten b by misleading leaders, by discoi demagogues and by stranded crai AGREEMENTS IN MAJORI' .After speaking on party issue the failure of party lines in prc dividing the people or imprc uniting them, he said : "If I touched upon public subjects. I tried to do so without offense, body of Americans can meet wi thinking of them. No gathering c in the name and cause of educ can well keep its mind from t No company from an extremely, tical portion of the land can gree representatives of the great Sta Virginia without a consciusness o common needs of a common natio ty. From what I have said I have posely left out the party nouns an< party adjectives which have on ; otherwise sane, the incensing effe red rag on the horned and bello terrors of field and of plain. My c trymen, if we leave the quarrei ? out of our contests or out of contentions, out of our speeches out of our journalism, we will go toward finding ont that the th wherein we agree vastly outnui and immensely outclass the th whereon we differ. Take, for insta the lapsed question of bimetall That was a great and mouth-fi] word with us as well as with yot never knew of a human being who .against it, if international agreer made it possible, or who could how such agreement could be broi about. We learned that if we wei it alone the nobler metal ro3e premium and its parity with the b would become a barren ideality, learned that if we undertook il conjunction with other nations 1 must be nations of our own class that such nations refused their operation. We could not under it of ourselves. We could not propo* to our peers among governments w out drawing their respectful decl tion. Our politics had been better, lives had been swedter, our friends] had been finer, had we left such qi rel words as Silver Craze, Gold Bi Coin Clippers, Plutocrats, BIOJ Bondholders and Roaring Repudia out of the contention. Take any < er of the subjects for instance, which with wind and tongue de: gogues have divided our people, cur for a moment ,to the tariff. ! concern of it must be revenue for government. An auxiliary conside tion of i must be the wage of people. The first must be enough, ; the second must not be reduced, logically follows that duties must c serve and preserve rates. That i followed out would produce a busiu tariff which it would be a satire baptize with any party name; as mi of a satire as it would be politically christen a civil or a criminal code. NEED OF CANDOR AND LIB! ALITY. "I might run the gamut of all qu tions by which, since the war, Soi and North have been at times divid? and by which they have been divic within parties as well as between the My object, however, will have been ; complished if I have suggested to 1 friends with whom I came and to i friends that we have made here, 1 fact that we all really agree rat! than actually differ on matters vivid and vital concern to our co monwealth and to our republic 1 little of our argument argues. 1 little of our debate debates. Too mu *of our contention is about names ratt than about things. Too much of o controversy is around terms rather th around truth. Too much of our ta is for victory rather than for vera? ty. Reform in these respects must inductive rather than direct. It mi begin with the chief sinners, o statesmen and our journalists. \ must import into our writings ai into our speeches more of candor ai less of passion. We must make oi words purposely plain rather thi deliberately ambiguous. The be place for us to look for the best publ is in our own hearts. What there v find to be true will be everywhere ai everlastingly true. The things othi men are thinking about are the th inj we think about when we think withi ourselves. The statesman or the jon nalist who does that becomes, by tl laws of universal nature, on conf dential terms with humanity. "1 thine own self be true," was the ir junction of Polonius to Laertes. 4Kno thyself, was the injunction of a gre; philosopher. Thereby comes courage Thereby comes strength. Thereb comes the assurance, which made th heart of Paul indomitable and th words of Paul immortal : * If God b for us, who can be against us?' Th intense earnestness and ri ie equa simplicity which will follow from th conjunction of our own heart with th heart of the race will make orator, unstilted, journalism unsophistical statesmen fearless and free. It wouli deliver us from the miserable spectacl of Northern and Southern Senators an< Congressmen voting for what the; condemn in their own minds, yet vot ing for it, lest the rapacity or tin ignorance of their sections may defea them for re-election. The wretchec manifestations of men of historic names and fames talking driveling slush to rabble throngs would not thei challenge the scorn of man or the judgment of heaven. The people oi both sections are far better than those who give to them a low moral rating. Their intelligence is far greater than is that of those who serve out to them the food on which fools are fed. Read? ers better edit editors than editors their papers when the latter put into them anything which they know to be wholly false or only partially true. LEADERS EARNESLTY WANTED. "My State, your State, our nation, await the men of thought and the men of action to clear the way. At no time was the need of them greater or the prospect of them more auspicious. None of the periods of the politics of mediority or of intellectual immorali ? ty in America has been long. When j one party has seemed nearly destitute j of statesmen and when the other has seemed to be overstocked with par? tisans of the second rank, some think? er or some moralist has risen or re? curred to view, to speak the longed for and the desired world to the atten? tive ear and to the hoping heart of a noble people. I know that such a man will somewhere be found-or redis? covered. I know not whence he will come, but I know that at our end of the country political philosophy was not all buried in the grave of Hamil? ton, or judicial greatness with the bones of Kent, and that practical statesmanship was not committed to the dust when DeWitt Clinton was laid to rest or Silas Wright tenderly entombed. And so I know that not in Virginia is the roll of great men the roll of the dead alone. The spirit of Patrick Henry is as alive as are his words. The sublimity of Washington can be conceded to no single mortal, j but portions of his transcendent j qualities can be ascribed to the heirs j of his fame and to the guardians of i his dust. The versatility, the philoso? phy and the genius of Jefferson may be united in no one being, but his vir? tues and bis principles cannot be con? fined or restrained-or parodied-in the State which he virtually made and which in large sense made him. The example as well as the decisions, the character as well as the logic, the life as well as the learning of John Mar? shall are neither an extinct nor an out? lawed inheritance among his people. The genius and the faith of Stonewall Jackson will ever be a factor among those whom he led and for whom lie died. The greatness and the gran? deur, the magnanimity and the modes? ty, the consecration and the courage, the example and the incentive which Robert E. Lee personified on the field of war and in the still air of delightful studies into collegiate shades will be not only forever a benediction, but forever a transforming inuflence, not only within Virginia, not only within the South, not only throughout the Republic, but acros the seas and around the world. "Nor can any New Yorker, nor can any Virginian any more than any Georgian, nor can any American, especially can no American of my pro? fession, despair of commonwealth or of country when he recalls the familiar figure and the shining face of Henry Grady, His presence was an incarnate welcome. His voice was an inspiring appeal. His thought and the memory of it are an uplifting power. From the South he gathered, so to speak, his heart and mind. His experience of it made the very blood and brawn and brain of his life. Be gathered the best of what he was and knew and felt, and had wrought into deathless words, which he came up among us to de? liver, and delivering, to die. More immortal he than the immortals he joined. He entered their ranks younger than they were at their translation. The initial date of his eternity was earlier than theirs. Better, perhaps, that he died on the threshold of a great career. He died ai the zenith of the possibilities of youth. He was saved from the misinterpretation of the years and from the disappoint? ments and the misconception of the evil to come. Neither mental nor physical decrepitude was to be his. Of him and all the great souls of the South in whom the North rejoices as in a precious national possession it can^be said : While 'round the sun old Mother Earth Pursues the. ever fleeting years, A nation shall recount their worth With mingled pride and joys and tears. "Fellow citizens, let us remember the oneness of our American derivation and destiny. Let us be thankful that in the baptism of blood all serious causes of division and reproach were purified away. Let us be grateful for the years of peace through progress and of progress through peace. Let us hail them as but the prelude of still better days to come. From this table? land of time, looking backward on the past, and forward on the future, let us strike hands for the betterment of politics ; for the cleansing of rule ; for the moral trusteeship of private wealth and of ?public office; for the lifting of poverty, through self help, into comfort; for the considerate lead? ership of ignorance into knowledge ; for the transmutation of provincialism into patriotism and of patriotism into philanthropy. In this work, while our country is our solicitude, let our field be the world. While our coun? trymen are our preference, let humani? ty be our client By recasting ourselves on the Jines of God's laws in our hearts, our State shall prosper, our cities shall come to honor, our com? munities shall conquer the pinnaces of material and of moral achievement, and our nation shall attain to the benign purposes of deity in its discov? ery and in its development. And from the vantage ground of this republic will sweep streams of blessings to all the race of man. If to this we here dedicate and here consecrate ourselves, the North of our homes and the South of your hearts, the North and the South of our country will eventually be constrained to admit that we sought well and thought well and wrought well for their behoof and for our own." (Continued on third page.) A Startling Test. To eave a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test re? sulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, '*a patient was attacked with violent hemor? rhages, caused by ulceration of the stom? ach. I had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them.

"It had been diffused through every part of the lower pen? insula and was now prevailing among cattle, hogs and other domestic ani? mals. Many dog? and children had been bitten." A Pasteur institute has been established and six patients have been treated, who were bitten by infected dogs. "Several thousand dollars' worth of cattle have been lost from the disease."

THE 0000 ROADS CONVENTION. ! Gen. Miles Advocates National ?id j to Build Good Highways. GOOD REASONS FOR HIS POSITION. Bryan Receives an Ovation and Tells Why the Farmer is Enti? tled to Good Public High? ways. St. Louis, April 28.-At the second day 's session of the national and inter? national Good Roads convention Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is president of the National Highway commission, made an address on "Military Roads and National Aid." He said, in part: "Our government has expended $500, 000,000 for the improvement of our harbors and waterway's and now the attention of the public is being called to our postal roads and avenues of communication that are mest useful and important to all our people. "If such expenditures of the nation? al treasure have been made in the past for the development of railroads and water Ways,'is it not now a most ap? propriate time that the improvement of our roads should receive national attention and governmental aid?" Ex-Governor Hoggs of Texas pointed out the necessity for good roads, which, he believed could be secured only through the aid of the national government. He spoke of the insular policy of the government and said if some of the money that is being squandered in the Philippines could be used here in the improvement of highways, our roads would be in far better condition. Wm. J. Bryan spoke at the after? noon session, receiving an ovation. He said, in part: "The expenditure of money -?for the permanent improve? ment of the common ro?ds can be de? fended, first as a matter of justice to the people who live in the country ; second, as a matter of advantage to the people who do not live in the country, and third, on the ground that the wel? fare of the nation demands that the comfoiti of country life shall, as far as possible, keep pace with the com? forts of city life. "It is a well known fact, or fact easily ascertanied, that the people in the country while paying their iull share of county, State and federal tax? es, receive as a rule only the general benefits of government, while the peo? ple of the cities have in addition to the protection afforded by the government, the advantage arising from the expen? diture of public moneys in their midst. "The improvement of the country roads can be justified also on the ground that the farmer, the first and most important of the producers of wealth, ought to be in a position to hold his crop and market it at the most favorable opportunity, whereas at present he is virtually under com I pulsion to sell it as soon as it is matured because the roads may be? come impassable any time during the fall, winter or spring. Instead of be? ing his own warehouseman, the farm? er is compelled to employ middlemen and share with them the profit upon his labor. The farmer has a right to insist upon roads that will enable him to go to town, to church, to the school house and to the homes of his neigh? bors, as occasion may require, and with , the extension bf rural delivery he has an additional need for good roads in order that he may be kept in com? munication with the outside world." MUCH DRINKING AMONG WOMEN. Many Leave Church Rather Than Sign a Temperance Pledge. New York, April 27.-In many Har? lem homes today the sensational ser? mon of the Rev. Dr. Willis P. Odell, of the Calvary Methodist Church, and one of the most popular ministers in this city, in which, last night, he emphatically declared to a congrega? tion of 2,000 people in his big church that drunkenness among women is alarmingly on the increase, is being discussed with amazement. After the sermon, a dozen young women were sent among the congregation with total abstinence pledges, and hundreds of women signed them. Before the girls reached them, how ever, scores of women left the church. "This sermon is especially for wo? men," bluntly began Dr. Odell; drunkenness is alarmingly on the in-"1 crease among them." "I sat down in a down-town restaur? ant recently. A woman, as fashion? ably dressed as any in this audience, came in and sat near me. When the waiter approached she ordered whis? key straight. He brought it with a small glass of water. She pushed the water side and drank the liquor at a single draaght. She paid the waiter ! and left. "That woman was no novice at drinking, and she may have been a Harlem matron. "As a result of women drinking, scores of children-little girls of six and eight-are taught the habit. The little girls are sent for beer and the bartender always puts in some for the child who carries the pail, as he knows she will drink it on the way home. ' ' Dr. Odell read a number of clippings from newspapers telling of specific cases of drunken women and children. Some of the stories were so revolting that there was a buzz of horror in she big congregation. A Good Thing. German Syrup is the special prescrip? tion of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated Ger? man physician, and isacknowledged to be one of the most fortunate discoveries in medicine. It quickly cures coughs, colds and lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. Il is not an experimental medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Two million bottles sold annually. Boschee's German Syrup was introduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village ia the civilized world. There doses will relieve any ordinary cough. Price 25 and 75 cts.
