M aitre Bonnet w ent on to assert that the creditors distrained on the Seine et Oise property and th at the fam ily had to intervene to prevent the sale. W ith regard to the fitness of George Gould to be trustee M aitre bonnet pointed out th a t his fortune w as larg er than th a t of the Coimtess, that authority based on affection would be great, and th a t nobody w as batter ciualified, as It w as George Gould who was appointed executor of his father’s will. A nother consideration w as that the clearing aw-ay of the debts would take a num ber of years, and that therefore it -^VDuld be wise to econom ize and not to go to the expense of a paid trustee. The tribunal, taking this view, de clared the plaintiff “possessed, better than any other, of the necessary posi tion and authority to assist the de- fendress.” The Bonl de Castellanes are now staying in the country together.

Conlrol of Soil Molatnro. Plow ing, w hich Is usually the flrst operation upon the soil, should be thoroughly and properly done, for af ter-cultivation can never m ake up for defccts in this fundam ental operation. The soil should b j m oist enough so th a t as the furrow slice bends it will break and crum ble, leaving It in a pul verized condition, rather than In clods or lum ps. The am ount of m oisture in tbe soil is a very Im portant factor in plowing, and also in harrow ing and after-cultlvatlon. The m oisture in the layer of agri cultural soil can be quite largely con trolled by proper m ethods of tillage. If we w ish to dry .sod land which has been w et by heavy rains after plow ing. w e can oy rolling re-establish to a large extent capillary attraction and bring the w ater to t l ' surface for eviiporatlon. The process of drying can be checked a t the proper stage by thoroughly pulverizing tbe upper por tion of tbe soil particles and act as a mulch. This m atter of being able to control the m oisture content of the soil to a eonsldrrable degree Is w orthy of careful consideration, as It has much Influence upon the tem perature and m echanical condition of the soil. E s pecially In seasons of drouth It m.ty m ean the success or failure of the crop. The difference betwe'-n cultivating land one Inch in depth and three inches in depth In Its different effects upon tbe m oisture content of the soil is very considerable, as is also the ef fect of the styles of tools u.sed In the work. The tool m a J r ; wide, deep grooves and ridges Increases the rate of evaporation, while one which pul verizes and m akes the soil verj' fine will decrease the rate of evapBrtition. The flrst gives m ore surface to the air, and consequently th : m oisture evap orates more rapidly. The other not only m ore com pletely breaks the capil lary attraction by w hich the w ater rises to the surface, but exposes less of the soil to the a l '. ^ . A.

B y this proceeding nearly all the roots of th% tree which ru n above the bot tom ot the furrow are broken off or are so m arred and bruised as to cause their ruin. This destroys m any ot the m ost valuable roots of the tree, they being the very ones th a t take up and convey the fertilization and a large part of the sap to the tree top, its branches, leaves and fruit. The effects of this will soon begin to show In the tree top by a general appearance of decay. The trees will m ake but very little grow th, the ends of the lim bs w ill begin to die, and soon whole branches w ill follow in the sam e direction. The iU effects of this practice wlU last for m any years, and It Is doubtful w hether the orchard will ever wholly recover from the shock. A fe w repeU tton s o f this op eraU ou w U I any orchard beyond recovery, trees th a t live on live only iii they w ill grow up In very dlffer- slzes. though none w ill grow large.

The plowing the orchard Is about as necessary the plow ing of the com fleld, yet never should be plowed so deep as to seriously interfere w ith the roots of the trees. The plow should never go w ithin tw o or three feet of the trunk of the tree, but the ground around the trunk should be thoroughly spaded up, w hile all sod, stones, grass and weeds should be cleaned aw ay. would be a good proceeding to a half-pound of m uriate of potash around and close to the ti-unk of the tree.

The squash bug Is very w ell known, and w herever he m akes his appear ance the farm er is pretty sure to find out th a t an unwelcome visitor has called upon him. The full-grown bug is about fve-elghths of an Inch long, blackish-brown in color above and dull ochre-yellow beneath. W hen roughly bandied or suddenly disturbed it em its a disgusting odor which has given It the rather undignified nam e of “stink bug.” A lthough usually preferring squash vines this insect Is not infrequently found ati.icking melon and pumpkin vines. The bugs puncture the tissue w ith their stout beais, inject a drop of poisonous saliva and suck the sap. The poison causcs the tissue in the vi cinity of the puncture to wUt and finally die, thus causing much more harm than the mere loss of sap. N ear ly all parts of the plant are liable to attack. Even the fruit does not esc.ape, aud the bugs are frequently found, on young vines especially, attacking the roots ju st below the surface of the ground. In the f-iU the bugs leave the vines, seek shelter under any rubbish nt hand or betw een the boards of barns, sheds or other outbuildings. H ere they rem iiin during the w inter. In the spring the survivors come forth usually about the m iddle or last of June. The fem ales deposit their eggs usually on the under side of the leaf,' but occasionally on tbe upper surfac(J as well, and are securely stuck to tho leaf by a gum m y substance. They are dull red in color, and to the unaided e.ve appear sm ooth and shiny. In; about tou days the eggs hatch. The young bugs resem ble the par-j ents in general appearance except that their w ings are not yet developed. As( they grow older they increase in size, shedding their skins, or molting, from time to tim e, and becoming more oval' and of a dull ochre yellow beneath. They feed a t night as a rule, coming forth from their hiding places about dusk and rem aining on the vines dur ing the night. D uring the day they usually hide on the under side of the leaves. “An ounce of prevention is w orth a; pound of cure” In this case especially, for w hen squash bugs once get well started in a field it is alm ost Impossi ble to get rid of them. Insectides are, as a rule, of but little value. Poisons would be of no use, as the insect does not bit the tissue, but sucks the sap THE STAGES OF I>ETEI*0PM1ZNT OF THE SQCASH-EDQ. 1 .

So far as has been ob served, those farm ers who have suc ceeded best in com bating the pest are those who do not allow any rubbish to accum ulate on or near their squash; fields. Clean culture Is alw ays em bar rassing to tbe squash bug. As to remedies, it m ight be said th at when confined under a tight covering and exposed to bi-sulphide of carbon squash bugs are killed by It. Young bugs, those less than half grown, are: much more susceptible than mature- ones. Pyretheum pow der is not practical! as a rem edy against the squash bug.'

Bits of boards, chips, squash leaves, etc., placed underneath the vines make good traps. They should be exam ined daily and the bugs destroyed. In the early spring pick the old bugs from the vines and destroy them .—Bulletin of New York Experim ent Station, A n icy stare Is not m a k e OQO cool. calculated to FtVER AT NORMAL AGAIN. Four C a s e s D e v e lo p e d , But N o Fears c f a n Epidemic a re E n te r ta in e d , A nother new case of typhoid fever has developed a t the S tate N orm al College, at Greensboro, m aking four cases in all, as follows: Miss R einhardt, of Lincoln. Miss H aekett, of W ilkes. Miss Hardee, of Greene. Miss Bofwllng, of Durham. The flrst case developed w as th a t of Miss R einhardt, som e three -vreeks ago. la s t week it was found th a t Miss H aekett and Miss H ardee had the fe ver and this week Miss Bowling be came ill w ith it Miss R einhardt was sick when she arrived at the college and dt Is known certainly th a t she contracted the fever before leaving home. In regard to Miss Bowling’s illness, e D urham H erald says: "J. F. Bowling, brother of the young lady, told the w riter th a t his sister had been com plaining previous to the tim e she left home, little m ore than tw o weeks ago. H e said th a t he did not for a m om ent think th a t his sister contract ed the fever on account of local condi tions a t the college." Touching the illness of Miss Hardee and Miss H aekett, President M clver has ifsued a statem ent In which he eays: “Both of these young ladles were taken sick about tw o weeks after ar riving a t the college, th a t Is, about one \veek ago. Both ot the physicians be lieve th a t infection In each of these cases was brought w ith th e student from her home." Dr. Beall, the resident physician of th e college, also issues a statem ent In which he says; W e have three cases of typhoid fe ver, all of them exceedingly m ild in character and ail contracted befo.'e th e patients left their homes, as no one of them had been a t the college tw o weeks when she was taken sick. T here are, besides these, seven casiis of m alarial fever. Three ot these are w ithout tem perature today, and are sitting up, leaving seven students con fined In bed." Dr. R. H. Lewis, secretary of the S tate Board of H ealth, visited Greens boro last week and made a thorough exam ination ot the college. "1 failed to find any local cause w hat ever,” he said yesterday. “There Is not the slightest doubt in my mind th a t the patients contracted the dis ease before they w ent there." In support of this theory Dr. Lewis said the sewerage of the institution w as as perfect as the plum ber’s art could make it. all the w ater drank is first boiled and every other precaution is being taken. Also he called atten tion to the fact th at from last Febru ary to june there wero 300 young wo m en in the institution and not a single case of fever was developed. “The sanitary conditions of th e col lege are exactly the same th a t they w ere then. My belief is th a t the young ladies now ill contracted th« disease before they came to th e school. This is the season of fevers, and it would be hard to get together 400 girls at this tim e ot the year, from all parts of the State, w ithout some o( them developing typhoid.” As th e incubative period of tjrphold fever is from ten days to four weeks, ,It Js possible and indeed probable that those now sick contracted the diseass before leaving home, but if any ne>» cases develop after November 1st it ■will be evident th a t the cause of ths outbreak is local. Though m any ot th e papers ot the S tate tell of the return of young women to their homes on account of th e fe ver outbreak. President M clver thinks there is no cause for alarm and prom ises to keep the public inform ed of the situation. The M onroe Journal notes w ith re gret the outbreak of fever a t th e State N orm al College, and adds: “Shortly after the opening of school one ot the girls developed a case ol fever, but she was sick w hen she gut there, and she no doubt contracted the disease before leaving home, and ne apprehension was fe lt B ut since that tim e three or four other cases have developed and we are told th a t Presi dent M clver has advised all the stu dents wbo are not constitutionally strong to go hoine at once. Mr. Jas. McNeely received a letter from hH daughter, Miss Lee, this m orning siv- dng the situation. He telegraphed her Imm ediately to come home, and w ill arrive to n ig h t" T he W inston Sentinel says a number Of girls have left the S tate N orm al Col lege at Greensboro, and adds: “Those arriving here report four or five cases of typhoid fever, ^ ? id e s several have m alarial lever. This is unfortunate and the majiy W ends nt the Institution throughout the State will regret to hear th a t fever has broken out there again. It is stated th a t the girls don’t like to leave the BChool and are staying unless required by their parents to leave.” A gentlem an who was in Greenshoio tolls the Salisbury Sun th a t everything is quiet at the N orm al—there is not a ripple on the surface and not much fear of a general spread of the disease. Miss Bessie Bost, of South river, who has been attending th e norm al, was brought to Salisbury by her brother. Rev S. S. Bost. She is lU, but it — hoped th a t it will not prove serious.

He made one of th e best speeches heard in the county during the campaign, and its a pity every voter in the county could not have heard his speech. It was devoid of abuse, and was a masterly presentation of the is sues. H e showed up Mr. Bryan’s vagaries and appealed to the pa' triotism of his hearers to stand y the flag aud uphold the govern ment. Mr. Price showed that President McKinley had done more than any President since the war to unify the sections, and blot out sectionalism and unite the peo ple in this great country of ours. He spoke of the E.\ Confederate soldiers, Lee, W heeler aud others being recognized by the adm inis tration, and of the bravery of such men as W heeler and Uobsou iu the Spanish war. If the petty po litical tricksters of the South w-ho live upon dead i'sues and in the stirring up of strife could be rele gated to the rear, our country would be the gainer. Notices.

Simmons is now ptKiiug as having beeu all along Ih e f.ie.iil and chamni.m of silver, he joined in 18it;{ Ol'with the ene mies of Senator \'anco, who were tryiug to eucompas.s his downfall. Simmons was at that tim e holding up tho hand.s of M r. Cleveland. ;.ho lost no opportunity to injure Senator Vance, poiitica ly, beisnse the .Senator refu.sed to support the unc(niilitii>ual repeal of the Sher man act, but stood up squarely lor .silver then, as he did to hi's dyiug day. In my opinion, i\fr. Simmons did not become a friend of silver until ho found that the sentim ent of the people of North -Carolina w as overwhidmingly in that direc tion. W hen Senator Vance v.ns fighting this battle for silver, Mr. Simmons v,a-;i!oingall in his jiower to Hpholtl the hamls of the admin- i.stration, v.-!iicli, as is well known, by every one, was in favor of the siugle gold 8t.andard, and wa.s using its patronage in North Caro lina to triat end. i ro.'treti that .''enatnr Vance’s name Has been ba'nght in ti thi.s m atter, but, iua?muc,h as it has, iu justice to his memory, aud iu liuelity to his friends, aud as an att'ectionate sou, I deny any and all statLuueiits maile, aud by whom soever. that he ever relented in his opposition to J!r. Simmons’ appointm ent or couliruiaciou as coil«;-tor, or that he ever entertain ed for a mouieut any other than tho ojjiuiou th at from any stand point, AJr. Bimmon.5 was wholly ualit for au olliceof trust. Of eour.se, if the m ajority of the people Ol isorth Carolina desire to send Mr. Simmons to the Senate, I can but aequie.sce, but I am de term ined he shall ne'ver get to the Senate upon the false pieteuse of can party and all honest men, if Other p3ities Should take up the eases of fraud and intim idation and push Ihe-.n Uiilil the la.-it thief is weariug stripes. Talk about fraud ini(l c<.ercion, when-Clande K itrh- eii has carried the banner Repub lican district by S,000 ma.iority. There is a way to stop these things and the governnieiit .should declare Jlr. Kitchen’s seat vacant, and in- toriii him that neeivors of Htol-?u goods cannot sit in the tVuigri'ss of the.se X;i'ite l States. The Ted- Shill election fvirce in Aiign.si should Ix! nullilie l. '.Ve sincerely hope Congress will do its duty, and take such action m will be best for the lire people. If it shonld be deemed best to cut down the representation of the South, it should lie done. The”0 nulli- tiers ot the Constitution snould be served with a notice to .stop and reverse. It is demoralizing and disgraceful, and is hnrting our country. SO R Record A gcnte.

Odell, Jr., Ilepuljlican candidate for Goveruor. Odell ran considerably behind M cKinlej’ throughout the State, while StauchlioJd's vote v/as slightly in ^ c e s s of Bryan’s. 1 Throughout the State the election for Representatives in Congress re- €ulted in the success of twenty-two Republicaus aud of ouly twelve DeuiO' w^ts. The election gives the Republicans a safe working m ajority of IG iu the Senate and iu the Assembly. The Republicans have a m ajority of 72 on joint ballot. The State oflloors elccted arc: Gov ernor, B. B. Odell, Jr.; I^ieutenant- Governor. Timothy Ij. W oodruff; Sec retary of State, Johu T. McDonough; Controller, Erastu^ C.

Up to m idnight the Republicaus claimed from 50,000 to G0,000 m ajority for M cKinley and Roosevelt aud the Democrats conceded their election by .*io,000 to 40,000. Six of the eight Congressmen chosen are Republicaus, which leaves the dele gation the sam e as it is at present. The re-election of General William J. Sewall to the United Stales Senate Is assured, as the next Legislature will be overwhelmingly liepublican. The Assembly will i*emain ju st as it w as a j’car ago, but the Democrats lost fout* Senators. The Republicans will have a m ajority on Joint ballot of forty. PENNSYI.^'ANIA. Philadelphia, Penu. — Estim ates from a m ajority of the counties in P ennsjivania indicate a pUu*alIty for McKinley of over 300.000. In this city the fusion of the Democrats w ith the M unicipal League cut down the Republican couniy ticket, but J. Hami»- ton Moore, for City Treasurer, and Jacob Singer for Register of Wills, are clected by jucvt* than 50,000 plurality.Pennsylvania'.s delegation in the next Cougrcfts will ;probably be 27 P^e- publicans aud Democrats, a Repub lican gain of 7. The incoming Legislature will vote for a United States Senator to suc ceed M atthew S. Quay, whose term expired March 4 last. M. S. Quay s friends arc claiming they have a m ajority on joint ballot favoral)le to bis re-election to the United States Senate. The control of the State Senate as between Quay an:l anti-Quay is in doubt w ith chances favoring the Quayltes. ll;ough the complete returns may give the organiation of th at body to the opponents of Mr. Quay. CONNECTICUT. New Haven, Conn.—Connectictit decided th at her Electoral vote of six should be placed In the M cKinley col umn; tlie entire Republican State tick et w as unanimously elected; the four Republican Congressmen were re elected, and a General Assembly over whelmingly Republican w as chosen.

The Republican Congressmen were elected by pluralities ranging from 10,000 In the F irst to a narrow m ar gin in the Second for Sperry. The Connecticut General Assembly trill seat nearly all of its Senators as Republicans, Avhile the lower hou.^e will be surprisingly Republican in its complexion. OHIO.

Chicago, III.—M cKinley has carried the State of Illinois by a trem endous m ajority. A t this hour it seems that his plurality will be increased by at h a st 20,000 over th at oi! ISOO. Samuel Alschulcr, Democratic candidate for Governor, is beaten by a very close vote. H e ran ahead of his ticket by a t least 30.000. The surprise of poli ticians is the enormous vote cast for M cKinley in Chicago, which Chairman Jones, Mayor H arrison and others had claimed to be Democratic. The Re publicans will lose four Representa tives In Congress, Including W illiam Lorimer. INDIANA, Indianapolis. Ind. — The latest re turns from Indiana indicate th a t the Republicans have carried the State by from 28,000 to 32,000. The Republl- cana probably have elccted 1 1 of the l ‘.i Congiessmen.

The general expectation has been th at to m eet this em ergency the Pi'esl- dent and the Secretary of W ar would ask Congress to increase the regular arm y. The sharp cam paign now about to begin w ill show w hether th at Is necessary. If General iiacA rthur can suppress the rebellion before tlie vol unteers come homo, aud restore order lu the archipelago, there will not be the need for a large increase. If an arm y of nearly 70,000 men prosecut ing the m ost vigorous cam paign can- pot overcome the Filipinos, the Ad m inistration w ill have a strong case n'hen It asks Congress for an Increase of tho arm y. It will be able to put the request on the ground of absolute necessity. WIFE IS HEAD OF THE HOUSE, A Virginia Court Declares H er to Be the Kuler of the llome. Richmond, Va.

The proclam ation Is as follows: “W hcrecs, The President of the. United States of America has, by proc lam ation, set apart Thursday, the 28th day of the present month, as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God for the m anifold blessings th a t have been vouchsafed to the people of th e repub lic during the year; “And whereas, It has long been tho iustom in this commoniwealth to set apart one day in the year as a day ot thanksgiving and rejoicing; “And whereas. It Is befitting and proper that men should a t all tim es testify their gratitude to God for tho blessings which He bestows upon them, and it being especially beneficial to the m oral and religious health of the peo ple of the Commonwealth to set aside particular days from tim e to tim e upon which they should especially m ar their gratitude to God for past favors; “Now^, therefore. I, Daniel L.

The D epartm ent is always glad to give to farm ers abso lutely free of cost any kind of formu las. lit is certainly strange th at form ers will pay out their good money for w hat they can get by the asking. But it Is the old story—stoves school maps and charts and now form ulas . N otes. English papers say that the report th at Sir Redvers LSuller ha-s boen offei* ed and has refused a peerage should te accepted w ith great caution. In the first place no honors will be granted to the leaders in the Boer w ar until nest year, and moreover it is siid th a t Sir Redvers will refuse nothing that Is of fered to him . T hat his nam e will ha included in th e list is conside.r^d to bo practically certain. A curious contradiction in the char acter of the late Prof. Max M uller, phil osopher, profound scholar, w riter and thinker, was th at he was a deplorable snob. His rem iniscences show his pride in having been personally ac quainted with many m eribers of the royal and other so-called noble fam i lies.

This is made up of about 150 pounds for lec ture fees and hospital work as a per petual student; . m aintenance, books, clothing, etc. ,at 100 pounds a year fcr live years, says a London newspaper.

In November the total demo- waticvotein Halifax was 2,729. In August it was 6,618. No won der the Democratic party is in the predicament that appears to pre- (jede demise, when in three mouths it lOsSes 3,783 votes in one county! In the reorganisation of the party this disaster iu Halifax should be investigated. Take the precinct of Halifax for instance. A cycloue mast have Struck it and laid de mocrats low by the hundreds. In Angiist 900 democratic votes came out of that Ikjx (though only 539 voters registered in the presinct.) In November some lierce, cata clysm had swept from the face of that portion of the earth 789 de- oi( Ciuts, aud ouly K;s remained to vot« for the only great Simmous and 23 for Carr; Nearly 500 were s.voptawayiu Bingwood, 300 iu Eist Scotland Neck, 300 in fair Ko’.iukee. It was au awful day in B itlerw'ood aad Connocoaai'y pro- ciucts where hundreds were miss- ins; at fae November call. The total democratic vote in the primary represents the full demo- oiatic voting strength of Halifax lUiiiity. The contest there be tween C'arr aud Simmons was h close one. the day was fair aud every democrat was at the polity. i)emo( rats watched democrats, and red shirts kept their eyes on rough ;'iders. and vice versa.

Thus W'e nee that if coaditious at tUe August elejtion liad ’oceu the same in Halifax as at the November primary, 3,889 de- inoc^nttic voters wonid have been Isujking in the count for White Supremacy. The majority in the •jlorious Victory in North Caro lina would have been just so much less. It is a sad commeutarj' on the unhealthiness of Halifax .'■ouuty that the elTort there to ei- - tablish the divine right of the .\nglo-8axou to rule should have removed from the face of the earth, le-a^-ing no record of their whereabouts if living, no mound to mark their burial place if dead, 3,889 duly authenticated citizens. What a shixsk it must have been tithe discreet registrars who iu August counted the votej of this great army of the Anglo-Sa.tou supremacy, and certified to t’aem but who saw' no trace of their cheerful countenances, or the complexion of their votes, in No vember. The disaster is unparall eled in the history of American politics.—G-azette. SAVED HIS WIFii. Jlr. C. B.

Editor The Times: Sir:—^I have just received a let ter from my son, Sergeant 8. H. Fisher, Forty-Third Begiment, U. S. V,, dated Tacloban, Leyte, P. I., Augnst 31. “The malls are very irregular here, and consequently we hear very little news, and are always behind even in news from China and Manila. Fighting is still kept up at a lively rate all over the isl and although the insurgent gener al is very anxious to surrender, and one of his officei's is here now trying to make terms. We had several men killed lately, and our list of dead amounts now to over sixty men. This town is on quite a IxMin now, and business has in creased ten-fold, owing to the large hemp crop and the money put iu circulation by the soldiers. Every ly new buildings start up and the small ship-yard is crowded with work. There is a great op- )K)rctimty here tor a steam saw mill, either here or at any of the coast towns. Timber is plentiful ail over the Island, and there are over fifty varieties of hard woods, many of them being superior to inahogouy. The trees grow to an immense size, and are absolutely iree irom knots to a great height. I am writing on a table made from a single board six feet in width witnout a single blemish, and a >;rain very similar to curled wal- aiit. All the lumber used in the fhilippines is sawed by hand with cue old-l’ashioned whip saw, so it is very plain that a steam saw-mill .v'ould be a bonanza in the midst of such primitive methods. There is so little doing in this immediate vicinity that there is very little to write about. Occasionally we hear Ol a small fight in which one or more of our brave boys have been wounded or killed. The last one killed was a Virginia boy, named t'arlsoa, from Ct mpany ‘D.’ He was shot through the abdomen, af ter having killed five insurgent oiiicers. A corporal was ahio kil led iu the same light, being shot tiirough the heart at the first fire. I’his regiment (Forty-third) has nada hard time of it, fighting through swamps and forests, af- o:r tue same manner in which our lorerathers fought the Indians 't'here hai been instances where letachments have beeu from two to three weeks without food other ..,Uan fruit and buds of trees, aud in all oa.ses they return ragged and barefooted. There are some good roads ou this Island (Leyte,) but in Samar there are not even trails through the country, and the ouly access to the ditlerent towns is by water. This is a beautiful and healthful country, but it lacks the ^ „ouch oi civilizatiou aud progress, to make it habitable. Just imag-1 ine an island of more than 300,000 iuhabiteint<!, w'ith an extremelv fer tile soil, plenty of water courses, abounding in numberless varieties of woodii, fruits aad valuable plirjts, and not a foot of soil culti vated, except a few rice paddies near tne cost. Hemp, the chief ai ticle of export, grows wild, and ,101 more than half the growth is jarveste.i and sold. This islind IS a lair example of the others, with the exception that the people area little more intelligent and energetic than the other races. The slowth and stagnation in which tiiey have lived for the last hun dred years or more is the direct re sult of Spanish misgovernment. The advent of the Americans was the greatest possible boon to these people, aud the majority of them realize it. That the war c«ntinnes to a certain extent un de. t lese conditions, is due to the I'act that a number of t’le men who have been in arms af aii'St ns have no homes or business to return to, •and thev would rather, pilage and draw on the country at large for supplies aud money than to work for a living.In addition to this, assistance lu the shape of money and arms is furnished by Spanish and FiUpino business men, for the re.ison that the large army we are compelled to keen here is a regular bonanza fo r them. But the most potent factor in a'ding and abetting our ene uies, is the attitude of that po litical party in the States which re- garils them as our former allies Ind extends to them the hope that our forces will be withdrawn should that party come into power. The possibilities of the future for this country aie already ap- narent even in Tacloban, which we have occupied only seven months. The population of the town has double I, new bnUdings are going np every day, and the people are all at work and making more mon ey than they ever did before in their lives. The governmrat (civ il) of the the town IS entirely in the hands of the natives and they have as much freedom now as thqr ever hopel for and for more than they had in the Spanish r^ime or would m r have had under the rule of the men Agnlnaldo sent here to govern them. When con ditions become such that American enterprise and capital can enter here unhampered, I am of the opinion that this will become one of the garden spots of the world,” Sergeant Fi|her is from Bedford county, Va., near Lynchburg, and was in Cuba with the Third Begi ment Engineers and was sergeant when mustered out. He re-enlis- ted in your city in the Forty-third Raiment and Was made sergeant before sailing, Yonre very truly, . E. L. FiaSEB. The above letter from the Phil ippines shows that the Bepnblioan contention is right aliont these is lands. We have believed all the while, that these islands are going to be of great value to thi.sco:iutry, ami no portion Of the Union will bejiiiore greatly benefitted than the Sontb. The Anti Imperialist and the Bryan Democracy have eu couraged these people to shoot our soldiers. When peace has been restored, capital will develop these wonderfully rich islands, and our commerce with the orient will grow and multiply, aud then we will see our frieuds, the enemy ashameil of their attitude. The future is bright, and why not lets all join in making this the greatest and best country in the world. Croakers should take a back seat, and let the procession move on.

In other cases tbe advance is coisidered by dealers as merely a.re action from the w e^’ maiicet of sever al weeks ago. . Pork a t wholesale bas gone up three- eighths of a cent a pound since tbc election, but is more than half a cent cheaper than in midsummer. A- de- xjline in the prices of all hog products is alw ays espectodjn tbe fall, and the fact th at it has not taken place this year is considered by dealers to be alm ost equivalent to a rise. In other words, the price of pork now is about one cent a pound higher than it was a year ago at this season. The quan tity in the m arket is about the sam e as usual; but for some reason or other, more pork is being eaten. The inexplicable vagaries of the popular appetite are well illustrated, Just now by this m arket. W hile all otlier iK>rk products are advancing in price, ham, usually considered the choiccst, is cheaper than it has been in years. F or alm ost the first time on record bacon costs more than banj, tbe difference boin^ about tw o cents in the* pound, wholesale. The great consumption of bacon by the iu- preascd United States Army is re sponsible for much of this, but the retail grocers, It is said, find very little dem and for bam, in spite of its low pri<.*o, while housekeepers are us ing ijiore bacon than ever before. W hether there has been new action Uy the Beef Trust or not, there has been no advance in the price of dressed beef in this citj*. It is cheaper now at wholesale than it w as six weeks ago, thougli it bas rallied som ewhat since the election. The prices quoted by one wholesaler were as follows: A t tiie end of September, nine and a quar ter cents a pound; ju st before election, eight and a quarter cents; now, eig h t, and three-quarter cents. Dealers are looking for an advance in poultry very soon, though prices bave not yet changed. The movement of mutton, it w as suggested, may be in the same direction. The cold w eather has caused a jnm p in the price of vegetables, especially peas, benns. egg-plant, and okra. Eggs and butter are already selling at w inter prices. B utter costs twenty- five aud a half or twenty-six cents a pound, about the same as a t this time last year. Tho best eggs are twenty- sJx oojits n <lozen, which is tliree cents per dozeu higlier than in Novemberv A commission man gave the following explanation of tbe peculiar conditions which have brought about this advance:“The regular w inter falling off in the supply has surprised us by coming a month earlier than usual. It appears that the hens are moulting prem ature ly, aud bave stopped laying. Farther- more. we have not the usual large cold- storage supply to draw from. The storing of eggs is usually a m atter of speculation, and last year, on account of tbe open winter. It w as not profita ble. Millions of dollars were lost on cold-storage eggs last year, and there was so much hesitation about going into the same-enterprise this yeai’ that tbe number stored is adm itted to be far less than In previous years.” MR.

This affidavit w as given by the notary who acknowledged it. Her- l)ert N. Babcock, to Joseph P. Eustace, attorney for tbe Mayor. Miss Loonie, when quesitloned con cerning the m atter said that Mr. Bab cock came to her w ith the in form ation th at the Mayor was prostrated, and w oull commit sui cide unless she made the retraction, and to save bis life, so she thought, she made the retraction. Jlr. Bab cock declares that she sent for him voluntarily and dictated to him the retraction. Later in the day Miss Loonie was visited by J. John H assett, attorney for the prosecution, she having ex pressed a desire to make au affidavit netracting her retraction. She said She had made It because of the repre sentations about tbe Mayor’s pros- ti’ated condition. Mr. H assett says tb at he does not need the evidence of Miss LooiiIq in the case, as be has an abundance of other evidence. Mayor Flood, instead of L"3ing in a state of collapse, has been about the streets visiting bis patients apparent ly as unconcerned as he w as before arrest w as made. NO CHANCE IN THE CABINET.

Limon, Col. (Special).—Chained to a railroad rail set firmly in the ground on tbe exact spot whffre his .fiendisli crime w as committed, Preston Porter, Jr., or, as he w as fam iliarly known, John Porter, paid a terrible penalty for the m urder of Louise Frost, an eleven-year-old scboolgifK It w as 0.23 o’clock when the father of the m ur dered girl touched the m atch to the fuel which had been piled around the stake, and tw enty m inutes later a last convulsive shudder told tb at life was extinct. A num ber of reporters and telegraph operators w ith portable in strum ents were w ith the lynching party. Tho w ires w<-.e cut, and re ports of the lynching, in the form of Inilletins, were telegraphed direct from tho scene of the occurrence. The executioners, who numbered about 300 citizens of Lincolu County, iiad not the least semblance of the or dinary mob. Their every act w as de liberate, and during all the prepara tion, as well as throughout the suffer ings of the negro, hardly an unneces sary w ord w as spoken. Grimly they stood in a circle about the fire until the body w as entirely consumed, and then quietly took their w ay back to Li mon, from whence they departed for their homes shortly afterw ard. W hile wagons w ent for fuel, chains and the iron rail, one m an stood by holding fast to the end of the rope about the negro’s neck. Two score men broke up the boards and assisted in piling them about the rail which had been set firmly in the ground. W hen everything w as ready the man holding tlie rope led the negro to the pile of boards. F or an instant Porter knelt upon tbc edge of the boards. W ith his eyes raised, his lips moved as if in prayer. He w as not hurried. Af ter he had prayed a few moments. Porter stepped upon the boards and |)Iaced his back to tbe upright iron. Then a half dozen men bound him witli chains. A m an dashed the oil from a large can on the boards. Then the boards w ere piled about tho boy knee high. The ci'owd fell back, form ing a semicircle facing tlie negro. F or a few moim-nts there w as al>so- lute silence. Twi»uty feet In front of the ueirro a bonfire burned aud crackled. Its ruddy light threw him into bold relief. Faces of the men about w ere illum inated by i t Porter loolced about, then cast his eyes up, and again his lips moved. R. W. Frost, Louisa Frost’s father, stepped for\Vard, struck a m atch and touched it to the oil. It blazed up, sparks flew into the air and tlie wood bejxun to crackle.

I t wiU then be possible tft^ m ake a careful comparison of the yields of the cows and permit o t getting rid of the poor milkers and replace them w ith better animals. RemedieB For Lice. TJnsalted lard or butter wUl kill lice on ■‘hickens, but m ust be used with care. A very sm all porUon under the w ings is air th a t is necessary. More m ay be used around the head, for the head lice are m ore hurtful. Coal oil is also sure death to every louse, but It used too trjeely will blister and take the feathers off. E qual parts of to bacco, raisins and lard steeped to gether and strained m ake an excellent ointm ent for kiUing lice. Frost’a Action Upon the SoU. The frost is one of the agents of the farm er for pulverizing the soil. Every clod or lum p in a field is a detriment according to its size, as the finer the soil the greater the feeding capacity ot the plants and the easier the roots can penetriie. As heat expands and cold contracts all lum ps, it is for the frost to break dow n all the coarse por tions, w hich w ork cannot be done with any im plem ent. W hen a piece of land is well drained the frost goes deeper, and w hen the land is plowed In the fall and subspiled the frost prepares it for the spring plow ing by going down deep and tearing all coarse por tions apart by expansion. B»t« Tour Hoea oi Good Sliape. The shape and style of your liogs regnlates, to a certain extent, the price th a t you w ill receive for them in the m arket, so the hog raiser should not cverlook this m atter, bu t breed his hogs, as far as he can, so th a t they w ill be shaped in a m anner th a t suits the buyer and consum er, and it is only the farm er who does this th a t can look for “top-notch” prices. There is one class of hogs th a t have rather good hind quarters, but they are low in front and generally have a poor heart. Such hogs get oIT their feed very easily, cannot stand heavy feeding, and are generally found with a w eak constitution w hich m akes them liable to disease. A nother im profitable class o t hogs is a fine-boned anim al, or w hat w e some tim es call a “short, blocky chunk.” Some feeders like this type, as they are easily fattened, but as a rule they will not e a t sufficient food to make profitable gains. G enerally speaking, the hogs th at m ake the largest gains and do the best are those th a t are well-boned, well- developed fore and hind quarters, large through the heart, and w ith legs of fair length. Such a hog is the one the farm er should breed, for they alw ays find a good m arket even at tim es w hen there Is practically no m arket a t all for hogs of a poorer grade. W inter Protection of Plante. It should be w ell know n to adviinced gardeners by this tim e th a t light Is as great an agent in destruction by frost as frost alone. B ut little practical ad vantage has been taken of this knowl edge, except by gardening folk gener ally, of w hat the a d v ^ c e d gardeners know. The latter shad<^ his green house w hen he finds the.'})lants frozen, and he plants rhododendrons and sim ilar plants w lK re th e ^ s o a id ^ s not strike them' in frosty w father,' If he should hr.ve any choice in the selection ot a site. In the extra cold,region of the N orthw est the advanced gardener shades the trunks of his trees by plac ing boards fastened together like tree boxes, up against them . A nd thus the trees escaiie sunscald arising from being under the sunlight, and sim ilar troubles. Surely orange grow ers in Florida m ight profit by this experience of their N orthern brethren. I t w ould not be a very expensive thing to m ake an a r bor or lath over an orange grove, the lath being an inch or so a p a rt W ith such a partial shade the plants would probably endure ten or tw elve spas modic degrees of frost w ithout Injury, and the shade in sum m er w ould doubt less be aU the better for the trees, at least the trunks of the trees m ight be boxed, and even filled w ith earth, -if the w eight could be supported. If the tops should suiter from frost, the strong trunks w ould sooner recover th an w hen the whole tree w as killed- to the ground.—M eehans’ M onthly. A, Convenient Ksfl Fence'. W hen a farm er has a lot of old rail fences going to rack he w ill find the fence show n in the illustration the cheapest one he can build. Set posts si.x inches closer together than the rails are long; take tw o pieces of or- .dinary fencing w ire, each about six feet long, and place on sides of first tw o posts, having w ire on second post on opposite side to w ire on.-first post; fasten these w ires to the post a t or near the ground. Now place a rail be tw een w ires and post, draw ing w ire up tightly over rail and stapling Just above rail w ith long staple, doing sam e a t both ends; put on another rail as before, and continue till top ot posts is-reached, w hich com pletes the first panel. The other panels are m ade in the sam e w ay, taking care not to have both ends of panel on sam e side of posts, but run alternately as started. The Illustration show s the w ay rails are stapled to posts and th e m anner of running panels. As the raUs w hen put on posts in this w ay do not touch each other they wiU hist longer t l ^ w hen Irat on in any other w ay, and I like this m ethod of m aking use o t old rails very weU. foi-^ by setting ^ s te and oslng a Utt^s w ire « good fence. ^ \atft9 trow a Balia six to eight rails high. Should a post rot off any time set another near it and fasten rails as before.—J G. Allahouse.. in Farm and Fireside. Dalijr ETOlnUcm. The latest developm ent in the dairy industry, and one th a t has attracted the m ost attention, probably, is dairy bacteriology. I t Is only a few years since th a t the study of bacteriology has been sufficiently scientific to reach m ilk an d 4 ts'p ro d n ctlo n . To-day we find th a t the m an who is up in his business Is the dairym an who fully understands bacteria, w here they come from , how they go and how to determ ine the good from th e bad. The m an w ho has the best knowledge along th a t line is the m an w ho Is best fitted to carry on dairying scienti'j- cally and exacUy, and to guaraa'jie th a t his product w ill be alw ays uni form , providing his mUk, or the raw product has been delivered to him In the proper shape. M ark etin g -d ah r products has bea’a alm ost entirely revolutionized with-’.n the la st tw enty-five years. The me^.h- ods of transportation have Im proved, m ethods of packing, packages and handling in every w ay have br..en so radically changed th a t the han ile r of butter o t tw enty-five years ago would hardly be able to understand or jippre- ciate w hat has Jieen accomplls'-ied un less he had grow n up, as It weire, w ith the im proved m etliods. W e m ust have the dairy type, con- form ation of the, cow to the business for w hich she is designed. W e look upon the cow now as sim ply r. m achine through w hich the products of the farm are passed, and from w hicli vre receive the m ilk in its perfect condi tion. The cow th a t would produce 100 or 200 pounds of butter per year fifty years ago w as considered a fairly good cow , but tlie cow tliat does not pro- duce 300 pounds of butter p er year now is hardly considered up to date. This has been brought about by organ ization, by breeding, by studying the problem and finding out how the milk ing ability of the m achine conld be de veloped.—D. W . .Willson, in A m ericau A griculturist ' “ ■ TnJne of £xp«rlm entilie.' W e have often urged on our read e rs' to experim ent on a sm all scale in the various lin es' of their work. T h at m any of them have followed this sug gestion w e have not the slightest d o ubt Some of them have been test ing varieties of fruits and vegetables, tor severid successive years. Others- have only recently begun such experi m ents. . ^ d m any w ho have not chosen, these specialties have been testing dif ferent kinds of fertilizing m aterial, different breeds of live stock, various methods of feeding, or have been w orking experim entally in some of th e other divisions or subdivisions of farm business. Efforts of this kind, w hether im m ediately successful or not, are al ways useful to the m an by whom they are made. To the young farm er they !ire especially valuable. This not only on account of w hat is learned directly from their results, but also because the tendency of such w ork is to m ake the w orker more thoughtful and care ful than h£ otherw ise w ould be. W e feel im pelled to give this note of encouragem ent, because in some sections of considerable area the sea son th a t Is now ’nearing its close has been very unfavorable for crops, and consequently the results of m any of tbe tests m ade in these localities w ill, be of no positive value, though indi rectly they m ay have some significance. Such Is the case w ith some of the ex- perhnents undertaken by the w riter of this paragraph. Though disappointing, the failures of this kind should not lead to discouragem ent There are other seasons coming, and It is prob able th a t ’- m ore satisfactory results may then be obtained.

E arly in the fall it becomes neces sary to take stock of the food for the cattle, dairy cows, sw hie or sheep. No m an can go ahead and feed reck lessly even thus early in the season. I w ell rem em ber one farm er who fed liberally and recklessly right through the fall m onths, who gave as his ex cuse th a t he w anted to keep his stock growing ju st the sam e as In summer. Well, th at w as all right if he had food enough on hand to carry him along, But by the tim e w inter arrived he w as faced by a problem of selling off his stock or buying food a t high prices. There w as no other alternative. H e had far m ore stock to begin w ith than he'should have had for the am ount of teed on hand, and then his reckless w aste in feeding had m ade m atters worse. T hat sort of m ism anagem ent is of ten carried on hi a lesser degree, and anim als are forced on the m arket a t a loss in order to save the food or the necessity of buying more. I t Is not such a difficult m atter for a m an to figure out early In the fall how much stock he can w inter on a given am ount of food. If he has sufflclent of tho latter to carry his stock along he Is Justified In going ahead and feeding liberally, but if he cannot w inter them on w hat he has it Is better to w eed out the. flocks now , Iiet this be the first economy practiced. Before the stock Is taken from -.the pastures sell the poorest, or &>se th e least likely to make profit&ble returns. Beyond this I would advise no one to sell a t all. Simply reduce the stock to the lim its necessary for w intering them on the food at hand. The am ount of food should be sufficient for good liberal feeding, and varied enough to satisfy the appetites of the anim als. They do so much better on a varied diet th a t It pays to have this ready for them at all times. EspeclaUy do we w ant to look ont for th ^ w inter food o t all farm stock because We are coming more to realize th a t It-Is w hiter farm ing th a t pays the b e st Only hitelll- gent, progressive and active farm ers can engage successfully in w inter dairying, poultry raising and the pro duction of w hiter lam bs.

Recommendation of Attoraery Gen eral Walser to the Legislature. Every S tate in the Union, except N orth Carolina, has a departm ent of Justice, of which the A ttorney General is the head. H e is the legal adviser and counsel for all departm ents of the S tate governm ent and such cases as they may have in the courts are con ducted through his office. In N orth Carolina, however, the A t torney General sim ply argues State crim inal appeals In the Supreme Court, and though he is legal adviser for the State officials he is seldom their coun sel; iii such dases as m ay come before the courts, each departm ent having a sum of money specially set aside to en able it to employ lawyers. As a result of this policy some $12,- 000 or $15,000 a year are expended by the State.governm ent in extra law yers’ fees. As A ttorney General W alser goes out of office this year and cannot profit by his own recom mendations, he will, in his report, ask the Legislature to change this system , setting forth th at the change w ill both increase th e effi ciency of the public service and save money to th e State. H e w ill recom mend the establish m ent of a D epartm ent of Justice through which all the State's law busi ness m ust be conducted, as is done in other States. A t the head of this de partm ent w ill be the A ttorney Gsn- aral w ith an assistant and such in crease of clerical fores as may be nec essary. The increased cost of this above w hat is at present paid to the A ttorney General’s office would, he Argues, be sm all compared to the large extra attorneys’ fees now expended. “Of course,” said Mr. W alser, dis cussing the m atter w ith a News and Ob©Girver reporter, “there would b*^ ea®:s in which the A ttorney Genera, would desire outside assistance, and in which assistance would be necessary, In such cases he should have power to employ additional counsel. Again, some State official m ight desire in an im portant case to employ special coun sel, he ought to be allowed to do so by and through the advice of the A ttorney General. Such an arrangem ent would add-to the dignity ot the office, make the A ttorney G eneral’s services more efficient and save money to the State. N orth Carolina has outgrow n the pres ent m ethod of transacting its law busl- ncES, and the next Legislature should m ake a change In it.” Also, it is understood, the Legisla ture will be asked to re-vise the fees paid to the clerks ot the Supreme C ourt It is said th at from year to year the w ork of the office has grown, while the fees have decreased rather than increased until there is hardly a living in th e ofHce lor the clerk after his stenographer is paid. M urdered H er Child. Dunn, Special.—A m ost cruel and un natural m urder, near here, was un earthed by the discovery ot the -body ol a child drowned in an old well in the edge of Cumberland county. It was found to be the two-year-old child of a negro woman, living near town, by the nam e of M elissa Clegg. Upon be ing arrested, th e heathen m other con fessed th at it was her child; th at she carried it w hile asleep and threw it in the well and took a pole and held it under w ater until drowned. She gave :-.s her reason th a t she could not taka care ot it and wanted to get rid of it. The m urderess will be sent to Cumber land county Jail to aw ait trial in that county.

Tke Thistle a» Fuel There are farm ers In w estern Ne braska who have made hundreds of dollars each fall baling and selling for fuel the common Russian thistle, but n tew years ago regarded as a menace to. w estern agriculture. These arc not Isolated exceptions, either.- The thistle abounds through the w estern counties. In the fall the weed Is to be found In enormous quantities through the open country. The special baling machines -•can place In com pact packages, sim ilar to baled hay, hundreds of pounds of this weed in ,a day. It m akes excep tionally fine fuel, and in the west, re mote from coal fields, where a ton of coal costs $15 and the farm er m ust do the hauling ten to tw enty miles, the Russian thistle is a fine substitute. Again, the common “tum ble weed” la baled for fuel. It resem bles the Rus- Eian thistle, w ith the exception of the thorns, and is even more prolific. In ithe fall of the year It assum es a ball- like shape, and in the first w inter w ind 'breaks its frail stem and sends the 'fluffy roll of dry vegetable m atter 'bounding over the prairie like a great ' ball. From this fact Its nam e, “tum ble weed” is derived. The first ravine or "draw ” the w eed strikes a|ford3 It a lodgement, and successive balls soon m ake a pile as big as a freight car. Farm ers drive their w agons into these draw s, load them down by pressing them w ith their feet Into great wagon boxes and bum them in the "grass” stoves,—The Country Gentleman. Jerem iah Lynch, a prom inent cltlzea of Dawson, now visiting in this conn- try, says: “Dawson, w ith its three dally newspapers, electric ■ lighting plants and a population of twenty-five thousand people, is now hardly a ' week’s journey frOln Seattle, and one can travel aU the*way wHh entire com fort. It is about three days hy steam er from Seattle up the coast, a few hours •by rail over the W hite Pass road, and then tw o days by steam er to Dawson. D uring the Isst sum m er a steam er has been running every day each way be tw een tbe term inns of the railroad and Dawson. That city, it Is not generally known, is north Of the nQUth of Yu kon."

THE OOUSTRY’3 DAJfGEK. If the decision at the polls this month had gone agaiast the sound money forces, the effet't, beyond all question, would have been to set the eouutry back in this race lor financial supremacy; in fact, to throw it out of it altogether : nd thereby surrender the advan tages we iwssess in our magnifi cent natural resources. In the competition we should have been handicapped by an unsound sys- U;m of Uiiauce, weakening eretlit, im pairii^coufideuce, cutting down production, blocking invastment, retarding progress. Kow these shoals and quicluuinds iu our cuui-se have all beea swept away, the road is opeu for capital and enterprise cumbiued upon term s a u j under couditions th at are probably the most favorable we liave ever known. As I have said, I look to the coming I'oui- yeaiu w ith the ut most hope and confidence. To speak in a general way, the lui- ;ion St inds or will stand on as T r o u b le s o t O iiirO w n .

The aaswei-s went forward by mail, but by accident the editor put them in the wrong envelopes, so that the man with the twins received this answer: “ Cover them carefully with straw and set fire to it, and then the little pests, after jum ping in the flames a few minutes, will be speedily settled.” And the man w ith the grass- hoppers^was J)id to “ give ca.«itor oil and rub 'their gums w ith a bone.” f S C H O U L E R ’S R A C K E T S T O R E .

A few days ago Secretary Gage expressed the orlnlon, after a meeting of the C abinet th a t a reduction of only about $15,000,000 should be made. L ater tiie President e.xpressed tbe intention of recommending a reduction of $20,000,- 000, but the announcement of the W ays and M eans Committee shows that there is a tendency to indorse the views of Senator Aldrich and mem bers of the Senate Finance Committee, calling for a sweeping reduction.President M cKinley’s determ ination to ask Congress for an arm y of 100.- 000 men, increased naval expenditures and prospects of the passage of the N icaraguan Canal, Ship Subsidy and Pacific Cable bills w ere taken into con sideration by the Kepublican members of tbe House Committee on W ays and Means w hen they m et to consider the prob-em of reducing tiie .war revenue taxes. .........■ - Secretary. Gage "was before the com mittee, and presented tbe financial condition of the Governm ent in rather better light than bad been expected. H e predicted th a t the surplus of re ceipts over expenditures for the pres ent fiscal year-w ould am ount to about fs0,000,000, this in spite of tbe fact that it is only a little more than fS,000,000 lip to date. The heaviest receipts and the lightest expenditures usually fall w ithin the latter half of the fiscal year. All preparations for bringing home the volunteer troops now in the Phil ippines have been suspended pending tile action of Congress w ith reference to tbe Arm y Reorganization bill. It is now alm ost certain th at tbe w ork of transporting the volunteers back to the U nited States will not begin until about January 1. Recent reports from the PUIilppines, including General M acA rthur’s declar ation th at he could not spare any of the m ilitary force now in the archi pelago, has convinced tbe W ar De partm ent authorities th a t there can bo no m aterial reduction of the troops in the PhUlppines for some time, and that every volunteer regim ent will have to be replaced if returned to the United States. To do this will require tbe passage by Congress ot a bill au thorizing an arm y of about 100,000 men, and the present Intention of the Secretary of W ar is to have presented to Congress as soon as possible a bill for the reorganization of tbe arm y. It, Is expected th at by January 1 it w ill’ be apparent w hat Congress will do along the line, and the W ar D epart m ent officials can then plan for a gen eral reorganization of tbe m ilitary force in tbe Philippines. Reports from recruiting .officers in this country, however, show th at there will be no trouble w hatever to secure men to raise tbe regular arm y to 100,000 men. PRESIDENT OILMAN RESIGNS.

Qhastly Crime Committed on Two '.Old Ladles Near Charlotte. Charlotte, SpecIaL—Two old ladles— Violet I. Colley, aged 75. and her nelce Jane Cathcfirt., who lived alone iu house on a m ain thoroughfare, five ■nile* from Charlotte, w ere last week murdered, robbed and their bodies burned. The old ladies w ere generally, reported to .b e wealthy. It Is known th at they had a good, deal of money. They lived a retired life for years and teldom ventured aw ay from honie, not even to th e city except w hen business compelled a visit. The house which they oscupied stood w ithin 150 feet ot the roadside. Near it w ee a sm all building which they used as a kitchen, and In which they kept their stores. People passing along the road noticed th a t th e sm all house had been burned. There w as no sign of life about the place, and cn in vestigation showed th a t the dwelling had -been ransacked from top to bot tom, indicating th a t a m ost thorough search had been m ade for the money which the old ladies w ere supposed to have kept in th e house. Bureaus, cab inets and desks had been opened and their contents strew n about. Every nook and comet- of the dweUini; bore evidences of having been searched. The general surroundings and the ab sence of the old couple .pointed all too plainly to a case ot m urder, robbery, and arson. It was no surprise whan a search of th e ashes of the sm all ouild- ing revealed tw o burned stum ps, the bodies of Miss Colley and her neice. The supposition is th a t the old la dies were attacked while they were at supper, after which their residence was sacked and th e house in which their bodies lay was fired. F or years past they were know n to have been a.ccumu- lating money, and had probably $1 1 ,- 200 saved up. There is absolutely no clew to the perpetrators of the deed. The neighborhood people are greatly stirred up, and both city and county officials are using every effort; to set ft trace of the m urderers.

EHEDS m s s m t A *M h Whs Has Tint Pecnllinty of i Snike. A m an who sheds his skin in its en tirety once a year, and who has done so regularly for the last forty-three years, Is one of the curiosities that Butto, Mont., boasts of. The m an—J, M. Price, a fairly well educated m iner —is a t the present tim e engaged in the carious pastim e of skinning himself. The methods th at he adopts is to first skin his hands and face and then strip it In an im mense sheet from his body. The process of skinning his hands nnd face w as completed A ugust C, and it cam e from the face like a mask. The skin from the hands resem bled a pair of gloves and w as exhibited on the streets. The toughness Is som ething rem arkable, and tw o men tried w ith m ight and-jnain to tear It. They were not successful, although the skin is not thicker than the leather of a m an’s street glove. Price talks freely about the m atter, although he is rather ten* der about any publication In the new s papers. M any physicians have ex am ined him during period of the skin ning, but not one has been able to solve the problem. In speaking of the m atter, Mr. Price said: “My m other told me th a t she first noticed the trouble w hen I w as about six m onths old, aud regularly every year since then I have shed my akin. It is a phenom enon th a t no physician has yet satisfactorily explained, al though hundreds have made exam ina tions and investigations. The fact Is, th a t I shed my skin, and th a t is all there is to It. Begularly on the tw enty- fourth day of July of each year I feel the prem onitory symptoms, and on very few occasions has It missed the 24th of th a t m onth. The first thing I feel is nausea, and then I know th at I am in for it. The skin becomes per fectly dead, and the perspiration th at should come through form s in blisters under it, and the whole thing becomes loose. I generally cut a circle around m y w rists, and w ith the aid of a lead pencil strip It off whole for the purpose of preserving it in the shape of a glove. I take It off from my face in the sam e m anner, but am compelled to rem ove it from my hair like dan druff. I took a long w alk this morning for the purpose of getting up a per spiration, and, as you see, my -whole body is blistered. I will strip it off to-day or to-m orrow . It comes off In great strips, as you can see by this photograph, which w as taken last year. There is no particular pain accompany-^ ing the operation, although the new skin is very soft and tender during the first w eek or ten days. I have to lay off for about tw o weeks each year to attend to it. My children do not in herit the disease from me. There is one of them , and she is nine years of age, and there has been nothing of the kind ever noticed -with her. Several years ago I w as In San Francisco when I shed my skin, and the doctors there preserved it in its entirety and then stuffed it. I am a miner, but my w ork in the mines does not affect my condi tion in any w ay th at I can see. My general health Is good, even if I do have skin to throw a t the birds.—Chi cago Inter Ocean.
