The new prime minister of Japan, Viscount Katsura, distinguished him- self in the Chinese war by winning one of the greatest fights, the battle of Kangwasai. The duke of Cornwall, though born and bred in England, speaks the lan- guage with as decidedly German an accent as does his mother, while the king burrs his r's very oddly. M. Paul Revoil, the new governor of Algeria, is 45 years of age and is a brother of the late George Revoil, the explorer of the Somali country. Originally he was a journalist. Lord Dufferin, who has_ recently completed his seventy-fifth year, once referred to himself, on account of the numerous offices he has held, as “maid-of-all-work to British govern- ments.” In a lawsuit now pending in Scot- land to determine whether the late Sir W. Cunliffe Brooks, a millionaire banker, was domiciled in England or Scotland, a lawyer testified that in the last few years Sir William has made 200 wills. FACTS FROM FRANCE. Wine growers in France now send sample bottles of wine by parcels- post to individuals. A French company has organized a new steamship line between Antwerp, Havre, Havana, Mexican ports and New Orleans. France holds the record as a user of gold. She has coined 2,300 tons in the last 40 years, against 1,400 used Paris’ population according to the census just taken is 2,714,068, an in- crease of 149,104 over the last census. Paris is now over 700,000 behind New York. The largest Mont de Piete, or, as we designate it, pawnshop, in the world is probably, that on the Boule- vard Montmartre, Paris, which, it is id, receives in pledge over 1,000 watches every day. COOKING CLASS MAXIMS. Uncooked bananas are difficult of To test pulled bread break it and if crisp to center it is done. The thicker the piece of beef a la mode the juicier the meat. White fleshed fish is more easily digested than the pink flesh class. Meat, fish and fowl should be quick- ly seared on the outside when cooked. Potatoes, cucumbers, celery or let- tuce are the best accompaniments for fish. Fish for baking should not be split, and, like meat, must go into a hot oven.

The Freed men's Mospital and Its Old Chief. ‘The Secretary of the Interior Wants Him— Opposition to His Appointaiecat. Dr. C. B. Purvis formerly Surgeon- In-Chief of the Freedmen’s Hospital, | under the Harrison Administration and who was removed by Hoke Smith, Mr. Cleveland’s Secretary of the In terior, because he made a speech de- rogatory to the Democratic party, <. H. J. Taylor, the leader of the Negro Demecrats, assisted by H. C. C. Ast- wood, forced Hoke Smith to remove No persuasion whatever could induc Hoke Smith to retain Purvis. Dr. Puvirs’ speech was more in defense of che Negro than an attack on the Dem- ocratic party. Now it is understood that a strong pressure has been made on the Secretary of the Interior, back- edup by Senator Allison to have Purvis reappointed to his old place as Surgeon-In-Chief of the Hospital. The Secretary of the Interior hus said to several citizens who had called and who are interested in the Hospital that it was his intention to appoint Dr. Purvis. When this report was circu- lated a delegation headed by Ex-Col- tector of Taxes John F. Cook and others called upon the Secretary and filed a protest against his appointment It has been but a few months ago since it was that Mr. Cook and Dr. Purvis were working hand in hand to defeat t .e administration delegaic f»: the last Republican National Convention and it is rather surprising to see these two men now fighting each other. From the present outlook it seems that Dr, Purvis willnot be appointed. If Dr. Purvis had won, Dr. Warfield, it is said, would have been succeeded ry Dr- Shadd who was formerly the resident physician under Dr. Purvis. Dr. Shadd is uct a candidate HON. JOHN T.

Dr. Purvis ruged under the soldier clause and if Mrs. Brown is reinstated she goes inas beinz the widow of an Ex-Union soldier. There will be no changes made. Dr. Warfield will | undoubtedly have his friends around him and not his enemies. The objection to Dr. Purvis is that he 1s not identified with the Negro race and if a Negrois to fill the place, he should be a Negro pure and simple. The friends of Dr. Curtis are very much surprised and chagrined at the sudden turn ofthe situation, as it was understood that he wasto be | reinstated.

Hiome has a cool hand and a soft voice—and sympathy. Home is where you can speak your mind end criticise your employer. Home is where you can pull off your shoes and put on your slippers. Home has a quiet rest for the tired head, and home is where you can ery out your heartweariness. Home is where you can shove the day’s burdens into the hall closet and hold yourselt straight and free once more. A home is a responsibility, but not any more so now than in the time of our fathers. No man or woman worthy of the name will shirk a re- sponsibility that means the welfare of our country. It is that responsi- bility that makes sturdy citizens and selects great men to rule us. Home is earth’s Eden to those who wish it to be so and will strive to make it so. A little more thought- fulness, a little less selfishness; a lit- tle of self-abnegation and a good deal of sentiment; much of imagina- tion and a great lot of lovableness; an ideal to grow to and enough prac- ticability to keep things moving smoothly; such constitute the haven that most of us look forward to and that some of us reach.

He Speake Plainly Abeat Some Things—Has Virtually Been Named as National Committcéman, The Columbia State, (Sept. 27th.) Edmund H. Deas, the Republican State chairman, wasin the city yes- terday on his way to Washingten where he is going tolook after a num. ber of things that are in the air in Re~ publican circles just now. The recent death of Collector Webster, the nation- al committeeman from this State, has started a great deal of talk about the status and future of the Republican organization in South Carolina and@ ythe old line Republicans are begining to take on new life with the advent of President Roosevelt. Deas is not only the State chairman of the party organization but he isnow virtually Webster’s successor on the national committee also. Hegoes te Washington heving in his pocket the endorsement in writing of 18 of the 24 members of the Republican State com-~ mittee far the position of national committeeman succeeding Webster. this amouhtsto his election by the committee. He does not intend, he says, to retain both positions, but wilk do so for the present, until things are more settled than they areiust now. Yesterday Deas was considerably wrought up over the column article on thelocat page of The News and Courier yesterday iu regard to the Republican situation In this State. In speaking of the matter he said: “‘In the article headed, ‘Mr Blalock Wins,’ itis stated that there will be an 2ppointment in two or three days. Imyself am willing to put up $1,000 that there will be no appointment it two weeks. And I am willing to wager another $1,000 that Mr. John G. Capers will never be national committeeman. This article bears the ear-marks of the captain. It is a nice way to win the favor of the negroes by reflecting on them as he has done in this article. He ought not to think that he can run over the Republicans in South Carolina rough- shod while he himselfisa registered voter in the Stateof Maryland. This article is only intended to force an@ intimidate the negro into endorsing him. It says: ‘Itis not outof place just here, in passing, to remind some of the negroes who are holding office that they are loosening the hold they once had on a job by dabbling in pok itics. It is said thatthere isan axe~ for every negro holding office in Char- ieston, and I suppose itis meant that there is also one for every negro holding office in South Carolina.’ ‘Their names have been entered, it is alieged, on the sacrifice counter and they areto be handed down, and so quickly that they wilk not know what hit them, They will not listen, however, and the men whe haye the federal patronage of South Carolina at their finger tips will puta cross mark upon the name of every negro who has been doing the confer ence stuntin Charleston. This was in depreciation of an alleged confer ence said to have been held in Char leston, of which your humble servant knows nothing. This will have na effect on the self respecting negroes of South Carolina. They will stan@ by their party organization, unawed by fear, unbribed by gain: It is evi dent that this is intended to intimi date and force the negroes into em dorsing him as a member of the nation alcommittee. But the vacancies on the national committee are filled by election on the reccommendation of the State executive committee as Im this case, and the national comcnittee will notmeet for about three years ta come. Mr, Blalockis a very nice man, a good Republican and deserves the collectorship and we have no object ion to him; but the bad company he keeps and his fool friends that speak for him are killing him, The Repub- jicans have the organization of the State andas between the patronage and the organization, they will keep the former to the loss of the latter."*_4 ———_+ Reform in the Househot4, “Why so depressed?” the caller asked. “What makes you both so glum?” “Why, I've sworn off from smoking, an@ My wile from chewing gum,” —Chicago Tribune.
