The consolidation of two iore school districts into seems to be the latest plan hit up on to “give the children four mon- utlis school” - during the present money patiic of the State adminis tration. It- maybe thought that this is a 'vise scheme to fulfil the promise for a-four months school, but it will be a terrible fall down ou the promise to educate all the children by the year I'JOS, and this is the prime question. Those who know anything about the ed ucational question of Korth Caro lina town that it is the remoteness of the cliildren from the schools ill the rural districts that present their attendance upon the schools Instead of diminishing tlie numb er ot school houses they ought to be increased as the population in creases.

Hundreds of ViiIafers Meet Deafh in the W reck, OVERWHELMED BV TONS OF ROCK. Houses Were Crushed Like Egg- Shells—Eighteen M?n Imprisoned in a Mine. ; Vancouver, B. C., Special.—Over whelmed hy countless tons of rock, Wednesday morning shortly after 4 o’clock, and with probably 1 1 2 of its inhabitants killed almost instantly, the little mining town of Frank, in Southwestern Alberta is threatened with complete destruction by flood. Old Man’s river, which flows through the centre of the town, is dammed up by the falling rocks to the height of nearly 1 0 0 feet and the entire valley above the town is flooded for miles. A big body of water is pressing with force upon the dam, the only protec tion the town of Frank now* has, un less the river shall find another chan nel. Should the impromptu dam break, the entire village would be swept away. A dispatch from Frank says: “A tremendously loud revevbvation shook the whole valley of the Old Man’s river and scarcely half the inhabi tants of this town awakened to a re alization of the impending danger, when, from the top of Turtle Moun tain, overlooking the settlement, mil lions of tons of rock were hurled. “The Frank Mines, operated by the French Canadian Coal Company, across from the town, were seen to be buried under hundreds cf feet of rock just as the morning light was break ing. Inside of five minutes from the first thunderous shock, half the town realized what had happened, a small force of men had started to the relief of the miners, despite the great risk they ran of being buried under the rocks, which were stili being preci pitated from the lofty mountain top. The volunteer relief force was unable to get into the mine, but managed to get near enough to determine that not a man at the workings had es caped death. Many had been fearfully mangled. “The disaster was merciful to those men who were employed above ground in that they must have been killed instantly, while those men in the work ings o f the mine may yet be alive if they have air to breathe. If all the air shafts to the mine were closed up under that awful avalanche all the men m ust have died by this after noon. The disaster was not confined to the vicinity of the mine alone, for many of the dwelling houses in the town of Frank were demolished by the falling rock. 'Som e of the occupants of these houses escaped death, but many others were instantly killed, it Is conservatively estimated that the loss of life will exceed one hundred and the latest returns place the num ber of dead a t 1 1 2.” It is impossible to arrive at any ac curate estimate cf the loss of life, as, owing to the excitement and hurry and rush of people on the streets, no one could say who is missing and who is not. There are no records available that will tell how many men were working in and about the mine afc the time of the disaster. It is variously reported that there were from IS to 50 miners under ground. The railroad track for a distance of two miles or more east of the station Is covered with from ten to forty feet of rock and the telegraph wires are down. AU communication is being con ducted over cne wire, running west, and this one line is so blocked with private messages and inquiries from The outside it is only with the great est difficulty that press m atter can be sent out. The eruption influences seem to centre at the crown of Turtle Mountain. Au appeal has been made* from Frank to the government and mount ed police are being hurried to the un fortunate village. Aid is also being sent from neighboring towns, but ow ing to the interruption of the train service and the mountainous country, it will be several hours before help can reach the stricken community, THE PRESIDENT IN ST. LOUIS ! The Chief Executive Was Taken Im- mediately to Oood Ros.ds fleet. St. Louis, Special--President Roose velt arrived Wednesday afternoon to participate in -the dedication ceremo nies of the 'Louisiana Purchase Expo sition. -I t was expected generally that he would leave his train at the union station and a dense throng had con gregated there. But to avoid such ail assemblage there, arrangement were made to have him leave the train at Forsythe Junction, three miles from the centre o f‘the city. Members of the national, commission of the World’s Fair, a reception committee headed by President Francis and a crowd of spec tators were present to welcome the President. President Francis, of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, seized the hand of the President and gave him att in formal welcome to St. Louis. Mayor Wells and others shook hands with the President, who was at once driven off to the good roads convention. Ju3 t as the carriage started, a middle-aged wo man rushed through the line Of offi cers, Wiidly Waving her handkerchief and vociferously cheering the Presi dent. She attempfed to reach in and seize his hand, hut the quickening pace of the horses prevented and although she ran after the vehicle, still cheering and waving her handkerchief fur the distance of half a block, she was final ly distanced ahd lost in the crowd. The military companies and a lflfc' tcon of police had been waiting two ldoeks away and as soOn as the line of carriages appeared a slower march was taken up to cover the three miles to Odcn Hail. People were congregated along the streets and Wildly cheering as the President passed. He continually dolled his nat in acknowledgement. The hall was packed with a crowd which had been waiting patiently for hours. The President spoke of good i-0 2 ds in tones which showed, as Well as hid words, that he was thoroughly in sym pathy with the object of idle IiSsicia- tions. “Roads,” he declared, “tell the greatness of it iiaiion. The influence of the nations which have not been rcad- biiildc-rs has been evanescent. Rome, the most powerful of the old civiliza tions. left her impress on literature and speech; she changed the boundaries of nations, but plainer than anylhiitg else left to remind us tit the Roman civilization, are the Roman roads.” At this point in the President’s speech. ili'C crowd rose, cheered and Vfaved hats and haiidfiereiiiefl The President de clared that good roads probably wore ihe greatest agency for regulating the flow from the country »o the city of young men and yoiitig women. Fronr Oilecn Hall the President was driven at a sharp trot to St. Louis Uni versity. A few minutes were spent here, after which the President and other guests repaired ts the home of President Francis tor dinner.

Added to the discomfort of the wind and dust was £ temenUurc which nought .tar the marrow and gen erally reached it.

BKYAN ON ROADS. General Miles Favors Governmental Aid in Improving the Roads. FARMERS SHOULD I.NSIST ON THEM. Some of (he Honey Squandered in the Philippines Could Have Bjen Used In That Respect. SL Louis, Special.—At the second day’s session of the National and In ternational Good Roads Convention, Gem Nelson A. Miles, who is president of. the national highway commission, made an address on “Military Roads and a National Highway," and said iu part: “Our government has expended $500,000,000 for the improvement of our harbors and waterways, and now the attention -of the public is being called to our postal roads and ave nues, of communication that are most useful and im portant to all our peo ple. If such expenditures of the na tional Treasury have been made in the past for the development of railroads and waterways, is it not notv a most appropriate time that the improve ment of our roads should receive 'na tional attention and, governmental aiu? ’ Ex-Governor Hogg, 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 money that , is being squandered In the Philippines could be usod here in the improvement of the highways, our roads would be in far better condition. Wm. J. Brvan spoke at the after noon session, receiving an ovation. He said in part: “The expenditure of money for the permanent improvement of the common roads can be defend ed, first as a m atter of justice to the people who live in the country; second as a m atter of advantage to the people who do not live in the country, and third, on the ground that the web fare of the nation demands that the comforts of country Iifo shall, as far as possible, keep pace with the com forts of city life. It-is a well known fact or a fact easily ascertained that the people in the country, while pay ing their full share of county, State and Federal taxes, receive as a rule only the general benefits of - govern ment, while the people in the cities have, in addition, good streets, side walks, etc. “The improvement of the country roads can be justified also on the ground that the farmer, the first and most im portant of the producers of wealth, ought to be in a position to hold his crop and m arket it at the most favorable opportunity, whereas at present he is virtually under com pulsion to sell it as soon as it is ma tured because the roads may become impassable at any tim e during the fall, w inter or spring. Instead of be ing his own warehouseman, the far mer is compelled to employ middlemen and share with them the profit upon his labor. The farm er has a right, too, to insist upon roads that will enable him to go to town, to church, to the school house and to the homes of his neighbors as occasion may require, and with the extension of rural deliv ery as he has an additional need for good roads in order that he may be kept in communication with the out side world.” • H earst M arried.

Sims was collection clerk of the bank, and was for some time a prominent figure in the social world of Atlanta. E ffort Fails. Tallahassee, Fia., Special.—Repre sentative Long introduced a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution providing that in the collection of taxes a separate record be kept of all taxes paid by w hite and colored tax-payers and th at the school fund derived from taxing each race be devoted exclusively to schools of that race. Thirty-nine voted for the amend m ent to four against it. A change in the constitution requires a three- fifths vote of all the members elected to qach house. Many did not. vote on the amendment, and it lacked two of receiving the required majority. Telegraphic Briefs. Thomas A. Edison has taken out 791 patents in all, for which he has paid in fees $51,000. Of the whole number 711 were taken-out before 1895. Since then he has taken out each year from .3 to 23 new ones. Last year he took out 19. The clerks of the patent office have kept systematic accounts oE the patents of M rt Edison, tabulated and indexed, .so that reference to them 'is easy. W illiam .and Mary Safreed, of Park ersburg, have thirteen children, ths latest having been born but a few days ago.

But this morning the shooters did not confine their aim to the passing year. SomS of the more reckless of the marks men turned their guns upon the arc and incandescent lamps of the electric light plant and slfot them all out with the dead year. They also shot the power away, too, leaving the town in darkness and helplessness, and thus for the space of an hour 0 1 two every thing was brought to a standstill. AU this happened at an unfortunate time for a newspaper office, which cannot w ait on light or power. The Republican, though, surmounted • the obstacle which the New Y ear revel ers had put in its way by restoring to commission that old reliable and peace disturbing gasoline engine upon which it has learned to lean in many hours of darkness and weakness, and which does not perm it itself ’to get scared and panic stricken and bluffed into silence and paralysis when guns go off at midnight.—Arizona Republi can.

It lias proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so-called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known io ilie medical profession to-day. Catarrn everyone will admit, i3 the cause oi half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict onc- hali of-the people of United States. F. H. Brand, M. D., of Mokena, III Pcmna in his practice. The following case is an example of the success he has Uiromin the use of Peruna for catarrh. . Dr. Brand says: “Mrs. ’Cl./ age za, nao been a sufferer JVom catarrh for the past seven years; could not hear plain and had watery eyes. Slie came to* me almost a physical wreck. She had tried the Cope land cures and various other so-called specialists, and had derived no benefit Shft told me she did not head, n ore money on mcdi- ssuve her relief. ”J. put her on Bc- ruua aud told her to come back two weeks.

Jts action is the same on the nucous lining of the nose as on the nucous linhig of the bowels. It cures the utarrhal inthinmation wherever it may »ccur. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes: ^ “Peruna is the best medicine I know of for cough and to strengthen a weak stomach and Io give appetite. Beside prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him.It is an excellent medicine and it iits so many cases. “I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering.” We say Peruna cures catarvh. The people say Peruha cures catarrh. Prominent men and women all over the United States from Maine to California do not hesitate to come out in public print to say that l*eruna is what it is recommended to be, an internal, systemic catarrh remedy that cures catarrh wherever it may be located. Dr. Al. Cf Gee’s Experience. * Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna.

Especially in the first few weeks of warm weather do the disagreeable symptoms of female weakness make themselves apparent. In crisp, cold weather ahronic sufferers with pelvic catarrh do not feel so persistently the debilitating effects uf the drain upon the system, but at the approach of summer with its lassitude and tired feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh feels the need of a strengthening tonic. Peruna is not only the best spring Ionic for such cases, but if persisted in will effect a complete cure. Write for a copy of ‘•Health and Beauty,” written especially I for women by Dr: llartman. If you want ' to read of some cures, also, write for a copy of “Facts and Faces.” That will sure ly convince you that our claims are valid.

The mnrmuiing of difconten can be heard all around. Great d!satisfaction is being manifested over the acts of the. last Legisla ture. It will increase as time gets on apace. The people are thinking as never before. Look ont for the corporation commissioners, (the Democratic school tea';! e s) they will bearound soon to teach our list takers and tax assessors how to make your taxes higher and to convince yon how much more you are worth than jon think you are.

Elsewhere will be found a letter from Scbonler to the trading public calling their attention to the for eign mail order busiuess. Mr. Schouler is right about it, our people should patronize home merchants, but onr home merch ants fail to advertise as they shou ld. These foreign firms keep the eoiintry flooded with their adver tising, and they get the trade. Week before last one party was, required to give a justified bond in the sum of §50 for having a pistol off his premises, last week another ease much worse than the first, for the party carrying the pistol made an attempt to shoot a r.egro boy.

Why did they do it? Because the Democtatic paper offered to do it for less money than the Republican. Is there a Demo cratic county board in the Slate who would have done it? We doubt it. TheKecordonMondayforthe first time, was awarded the county printing it being the only bid put in. Protracted services are lieing carried on this week at the Metho dist. church by Rev. W. L.

Mr. Tur ner seems to be well acquainted with the Bible and the worn: ol carrying on a revival. His ser mons are interesting, instructive and soul stirring. His sermon on Sunday night on the subject “The Ceslinationof the Sinner or his condition hereandhereafter’ was a sermon of power, and showed knowledge and study on the part of the preacher. We hope much good will be done before the meet ing closes, which is to be Friday night. Is It Right? Isit Just? Thereis a great wrong.being done to the merchants cf North CaiOlina each year. This .wrong is done innocently, and we believe that to simply call attention to the fact is all that is necessary to stop it. The wrong we refer to is the “Foreign Mail,Oriler Business,” Thereare thousands and thousands of dollars sent each year to North ern and Eastern houses for goods that should be deft with the mer- ebanls of the old HortJi State Itealizing this fact, and the fact that the merchants "of the Stite are in part responsible for this state of affairs, abont two years ago we organized an up-to-date Mail Or der Department, Its success has surpassed our wildest expectations.

Eorexample1 American manu facturers produce and sell eotton goods more cheaply than they are produced and sold anywhere else, Whafcthen is the need of Protec tion for .such goods? asks the Tariff smasher. Siinply this, to prevent the demoralisation of the Ameri can market by unloading upon it of the surplus,supplies of foreign manufacturers.- Ebr instance, if the Mancheseter manufacture! s were to find themselves overstock ed, if there were no Protective Tariff in the United States, they could, send their surplus over here and market it without profit or even loss. Tor the time, .being they could break prices to a ruinous point, to the great injury of .Ame rican manufacturers and with the probable result of throwing Ame rican wage-earners out of work until normal conditions were re sumed. The very fiiet, of which the tar- iff-smashers make so much, that American manufactures are some times sold abroad at lower prices than they bring at home, is an il- lustratiovof the point suggested by Senator Frye. The prodncts so marketed are a surplus. Manufac turers who are confronted with the alternative of closing their mills until the domestic demand warrants resumption, or of keep ing their machinery employed aud their employees at work, with the expectation of selling their surplus abroad, choose the latter plan, to the advantage of their workmen. This process would-be reversed, to the demoralization, of our indtis= tries, if the preventive Tariff. did. not stand in, the way.—Boston “Journal.’' ill: we hold to the prin|U« V O ?tipje that all monopolies are dan- jMstothe best interest of our jjinntiy. tending to enslave a free JfllJle and subvert and finally irerttoow the great principles I to the lathers of Anie rial!liberty.

I Oneof the most characteristic pxhibitionaof mob violence that we have .seen described for many a day is to be found in the story which comes from Joplin, Mo, A negro had shot and killed a policeman, and after he had been arrested and lodged in jail a mob collected and demanded his person In- vain did the officers of the law plead with the mob in the interest of law and order. The mob would not listen, to reason, but took the negro forcibly away and hung him to a tree. There was. a . most biu- tal aud disgraceful scramble, in which the victim was almost torn to peiees, but he was finally swung up and killed. One would suppose that after the mob had wreaked its vengean ce on this-man it would have been satisfied, but it is hard to. satisfy a mob. The mob spirit was, ramp ant, the blood of the mob was stir red, and there was thirst for more blood. After the negro who killed the policeman had been put out of the way the mob started out to make war upon the whole negro population. Ihnocenfcnegroes were set upon wherever they were found and maltreated/ and finally, when all the negooes had been chased 111*0 the negro quarter, the mob went thither and laid waste with fire and sword. Hegroes were as saulted, the houses of negroes were fired, and the mob attempted to prevent the firemen from extin guishing the-flames, It was. like hell’s fury, turned loose.. Themem-. bers of the mob were as so many savages, fit for . any sort of violence and outrage. This shows how dangerous it is for a mob to gather for any pur pose. Some may say that this negro deserved to be summarily deali with, but when the mob got well started it did not stop with his execution. When a mob does get starced-.there’s- no knowing to what lengths it will go, before its fury shall have been spent Several years ago-a mob gather ed in a Yarginia town to lynch.a negro, and when it vfus. asseertai- j ned that the judge had ordered the sheriff to. protect the prisoner at all costs, there were cries for I the blood of the judge, and a pro minent citizen of the town, in speaking of the-matter afterwards, said that the mob would probably have lynched the judge if he had appeared on the scene at the time. He said also that the mob spirit was.so infuriated that.no man’s life- was. safe. The mob demanded a victim,, and it mattered very littlawho the victim was, just so somebody’s life was sacrificed. We live in a civilized country, but there is. a great deal of latent savagery in the breast of men, and there is. a constant struggle between the law- and the mob. One or the other must rule. We must make the law supreme, or the mob will have its way.—Times-Dispateh Hardware Company, Jobbers & Dealers Shelf and Heavy Hardware, Implements, Stoves, Tinware, Wooden ware, Belting, Guns.

The most favorable weather since the opening of the crop season pre vailed during the week ending May 4, and the reports of crop correspondents are more encouraging. The cold, rainy conditions characteristic of the season so far ceased with the rain of Sunday, April 26th, and since then the weath er has been dry and warmer. By' Wednesday the soil was in fit condi tion .for plowing except lowlands which are still too wet. The mean temperature averaged I degree faily below the normal, and was too low for the best growth at the beginning and end of the week, but the middle of the week was quite warm, and growth of vegetation was stimulated. The nights continue too cool, and some light frosts occurred without injuring crops. The soil is getting into fine condition for plowing in the east, but is rather hard and cloggy in the western portion of the State where the light showers May 3d will prove decidedly beneficial; the ground is still too cool for the best germination of seeds, and crops are generally coming up slowly and to poor stands. Plowing and planting made rapid progress during the week, but about two weeks more of favor able weather are needed to enable farmers to catch up with their work. A large portion of the corn crop was planted, especially on uplands; corn planted early in wet lands is coming up slowly and stands are generally re ported poor; cut worms are doing some damage. Planting cotton is alsc proceeding rapidly,- but owing to low temperatures the seeds are sprouting slowly, and stands are poor; early planted cotton rotted in the ground, so that much replanting will be neces sary: seeds are scarce in some sec* lions. Transplanting tobacco is still underway, and plants that have al ready been set are doing fairly well; in the counties growing the most to bacco, along the northern border ol the Slate preparations for a large crop are underway, but plants in beds are not so well advanced. W hile Nvint-Cr wheat and oats have improved consid erably in many counties, the damage by rust and hessian fly is very appar ent and wide-spread; some fields of wheat have been cut for feed or plow ed over for other crops. Spring oats arc doing well, and seeding is nearly completed in the west. Prospects fox fruit are good in the eastern portion of the State, fair in the central, and poor in the west, where, however, there will be some poaches and plenty of apples. Of the truck crops in the east peas, cabbages and Irish potatoes are doing well, but beans, cucumbers and melons are poor. Shipments of peas, cabbages and strawberries con tinue quite freely. Gardens are im proving thouglT much later than usual: tomato plants are doing fairly well Some crimson clover and rye have teed cut for feed, :iud meadows are generally fine. N orth Carolina Tlunlc pal Elections, Charlotte, Special.—The municipal election In Charlotte Monday resulted in the re-election of Mayor P. M. Brown and the election of twelve alder men out of the thirteen aldermanic candidates on his ticket. Mayor Brown received a total of 1.2LK votes, his majority being 229. Capt Franklin, the independent candidate for mayor received 971 votes. The aldermen elected on the Brows ticket are: J. B. McLaughlin. D. T. Ritch, J. F . W eam t B. F. W ithers, H. G, Link, J. H. Ross, C. C. Bates, G. H. Brockenbrough, W. W. W ard. M. F. Kirby, S. S. McNinch and D. W. Oates. The alderman on the Franklin ticket elected is W. L. Long. The day is reckoned by Mr. Brown and his supporters as a complete victo ry, since the one Franklin alderman who was elected cannot affect the pol icy of the administration, even if he wished to do so. Hickory, Special.—In the city elec tion, which took place Monday, the dry ticket, headed by J, D. Elliott, fox mayor, won over the independenl ticket, headed by B. F.

The Organization of the Convention A ffected. NEARLY 2,000 DELEGATES PRESENT A Delegate From the Indian Territory I Seenres Recognition—Meeting of the Women’s Missionary Union. Savannah, Ga., Special.—The forty- eighth annual session of the Southern Baptist Convention was called to or der Friday morning, in the first Bap tist church, by President Jam es P. Eagle, ex-Goveruor cf Arkansas. Not withstanding the prevalence of a dis agreeable northeast storm, the audi torium was crowded, there being 1,867 delegates in attendance. Half an hour was given to devotional exercises. An address of welcome to Gsorgia was de livered by Hon. Jos. M. Terrell, Gov ernor of the State, to which the re sponse was made by Rev. E. P. Hale, of Kentucky. Rev. John D. Jordan welcomed the delegates to Savannah. On behalf of the convention, E. P. Hale, of Kentucky, responded. The or ganization of the convention was ef fected as follows: President. James Philip Eagle, of Little Rock, Ark.; vice presidents, Edwin Wm. Stephens, of Columbia, Mo.; Geo. Hillyer, of Atlanta. Ga.; R. C. Buckner, of Texas; A. E. Owen, of Portsmouth, Va.; secretaries, Lansing Burrows. D. D.. of Nashville, Tenn.; Oliver F. Greg ory, D. D., of Montgomery, AIa,; treasurer, G. W. Norton, of Louisville, ICy.; auditor, Wm. P. Harvey, D. D., of Louisville. The only changes In the officers were among the vice presi dents, Vice Presidents Hillyer, Buck ner and Oliver being the new officers chosen. Governor Eagle in accepting the presidecy said: “I would rather be president of the Southern Baptist Oonvsntion than to be President cf the United States.” An interesting feature of the enroll ment came about by the delegate from the Indian Territory. A. G. W ashburn, a part Indian, insisting that he be re cognized. He had not arrived in time to get his credentials in, but insisted that this was no fault of his. By his persistence he overcame the chair and the entire convention, and was recog nised on the spot. He did not propose to come all this way across the Mis sissippi, he said, to represent his peo ple and then not be recognized. And he did not.The report of the foreign mission board was received, showing that the Southern Baptist church fe represent ed by missionaries in Mexico, Italy, Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. There has been but one death among them during the year. Rev. S. T. W illiams died at Canton, China, April I of men ingitis. The most encouraging reports are made by all the missionaries. There have been ths following changes in officers during the year: Rev. W es ton Bruner, had been elected a mem ber of the board in place of Rev. H. A. Bagbyt resigned; Rev. J. M. Car roll, vice president for Texas, resigned, and Rev. G. W. McDaniel, elected in his stead; Rev. W. T. Amis was elect ed vice president for Arkansas; H. S. Woodard, who was elected vice presi dent for the D istrict of Columbia, re signed, and Rev. E. H. Sem was chosen In his place, and Rev. L. C. Wolfe was elected vice president for Indian Territory, and Rev. A. P. Stone for Oklahoma. The financial report shows that Georgia has taken first place in this cause.

In BE SAGANAW SENT TO BOTTOM. Norfolk, Special—A collision at sea that cost the lives of 2 0 or more peo ple and the sinking of the Clyde steam ship Saginaw.by the Old Dominion Steamship Company’s liner Hamilton, occurred between W inter Quarter Lightship and Fenwick Island Light ship, on the Virginia coast, a t 4:40 o’clock Friday morning. The Hamilton left New York at 3 o’clock for Norfolk and the Saginaw, passed out of the Vir ginia capes at 9 o’clock Monday night bound from Richmond and Norfolk for Philadelphia. A dense fog settled along the coast shortly after nightfall and both vessels were going at reduced speed when the crash occurred. The scene of the collision is about 13 or Ii miles off the shore and between ISO and 200 miles south of New York or be tween 120 and 140 miles north of Nor folk. The fog whistles of both vessels were distinctly heard by each other for sev eral minutes before the collision occur red. According to Uaptain Boaz, of the Hamilton, his ship was going about nine miles an “hour and the Saginaw about ten. The fog was so thick that objects a ship’s length away were in visible and when the two crafts hove in sight of each other there was but a moment before they met. The Sagi- uow veered as the Hamilton hove in sight, but they had not the time to clear each other and the knife-like steel prow of the soufh-bl itml vessel struck the Clyde ship on the port quar ter about 2 0 feet from her stern, cut ting the entire rear of the ship away. The in-rushing water caused the Sagi naw to settle rapidly in the stern and the impetus of the Hamilton took her out of sight of the crippled vessel. En gines, already reversed, were put full steam to the rear and the Hamilton circled the scene of the wreck, at the same time lowering two life-boats. W7Iien the Saginaw was again sighted her stern was under water and her bow high in the air: Panic-stricken people rushed over her decks and scrambled toward the bow. Life boats were being lowered and into the first 15 colored women were placed, according to Sec ond Officer W. L. Morris, who was in command. The boat was swamped as it struck the water and its occupants were thrown into the sea. AU were drowned except the second officer and the colored stewardess, who was caught by F irst Officer GosIee and held until a boat from the Hamilton reached them. The woman was pulled in, but the gallant m ate sank immediately. The woman died before the small boat reached the Hamilton, more from in juries received by the impact of the collision than by drowning. In the meatime the rush of waters into the bow of the Saginaw had caused the decks to burst their fastenings with a roar like the report of big guns and tons of freight of all descriptions soon littered the sea. To this the struggling people in the w ater clung and ,many were rescued by the boats from the Hamilton and Saginaw. Before the life-boat of the Hamilton had reached the Saginaw the latter had disappeared beneath the waves and nothing but her topmasts were visible. To these several men were clinging, one of whom was the aged captain of the Saginaw, J. S. Tunnel]. VJhen he was taken off it was found that lie. had sustained severe, if not serious, inter nal injuries. The Hamilton hovered around the scene of the wreck for ove: an hour but no sign of life could be seen among the mass of floating freight. Two bodies, one of a man and tire other of a woman, both clad in Eight dress, were observed-drifting be tween the bales of cotton and cases of goods.

It may be fairly assumed that in his speech at the dinner of the Home Mar ket Club in Boston Seeretary-Root in flected the views and intentions of Ihe Republican Administration and of the Republican party as a whole on the subject of tariff revision. It was, we believe, w ith this understanding that the invitation w as accepted by Mr. Root. Sa the frank, outspoken talk against any changes in the'tariff sched ules for at least two years to couie can safely 'be accepted as “inspired” and “official.” The country wil! be glad to reeeivc it as sueli;-glad Io know that it is the fixed policy of President Roose velt to discountenance any and all in terference with tlio schedules of the Dingiey law until after the national elections of 1904. W ith Secretary Shaw speaking to the same effect at Peoria two nights previous to the speech of Secretary Root a t Boston it would seem to.be settled that Republican pol icy is firmly and unm istakably in op position to tariff revision. If there is to be any concerted attack upon the system of protection it is to come from Democrats, not from Republicans. Concurrently w ith the speeches of Messrs. Root and Shawr in vigorous op position to tariff tinkering comes the following splendid declaration of the Home M arket Club on the subject of tariff revision and reciprocity adopted by the club on Friday, April S: • “Wherc-as, There seems to be a well defined attem pt in M assacliustts, as well as in Iow a,,to commit the Repub lican party to advocacy of reciprocity treaties in competitive products, to the removal of duties on so-called raw ma terials, and to a general reduction of protective duties, the Home M arket Club desires to place itself on record by the following resolutions: “I. W e consider the great prosperity of the country under the DingIey tariff as fully justifying that tariff and the protective policy behind it. “2. We accept the policy of reciproc ity in non-competitive products as laid down in the last Republican national platform, but wc are unalterably op posed to reciprocity in competing pro ducts, or to destroying the home m ar ket for one American industry for the sake of enlarging the foreign m arket of another. “3. We believe that the producers of so-called raw material are as much en titled to reasonable protection as the makers of finished goods, and wc are sure that a removal of protection from the one class of products will precede but little its removal from the other also. “4. We believe that a general reduc tion of the tariff, instead of being an advantage to the country, would be a great calamity — unsettling. business, throwing labor out of employment and reducing wages. “5. We do not believe the people as a whole have yet forgotten the results of the tariff revision of 1893-1S94, and w e also do not believe that they desire to try another similar experiment. This club is not a political or ganization, and it considers no party entitled to its support that does not stand for the cardinal principles of protection as a doctrine of national pol ic y ” These resolutions w ere moved by General W. F . Draper. Additional sig nificance attaches to the unanimous adoption of the resolutions in view of the remarks of General D raper in mov ing their adoption. General Draper said: “Gentlemen of the Home M arket C ln b -I have prepared these resolu tions and offer them to you to-day. be cause of w hat seem s.to me a special emergency for the cause that our or ganization represents. “Ever since our formation the gen eral sentim ent of the Democratic party has been In the direction of free trade, and no one doubts that In the event of Democratic national success protective duties would be m aterially lowered. The Republican party has, however, al ways favored the protective policy, and in recent years protection has seemed to be its cardinal principle, alm ost its reason for existence. “An attem pt is now being made by kqine mem svho desire to be leaders, like Governor Cummins, of Iow a; Rep resentative Babcock, of W isconsin, and some gentlemen in our own State, to commit the party of protection to soma movement in the direction of free trade, and these men use free trade ar guments while masquerading under the name of protectionists, in order to se cure a. following that they could not have if they called themselves free traders. “To prevent, if possible, the commit ment of the Republican party of State or nation to an abandonm ent of princi ple is tlie present duty of protective organizations th at are bound, to no party, unless it stands for the cause which they represent. I do not believe that the tank and file of th e- Repub lican .party .will consent to being mis represented oil this quest inn. if K i9 clearly raised, aud it is ilu- iiiiju t „{ these resolutions to raise it. ii vtna’ul seem as sensible Tor tin- I1IoliiirailllI party to resolve ill favor of niorulii» cocktails as for the RcpaLfiraii ]illllr to abandon protection Sn Uv very midst of the prosperity that that nolivr has brought about. “I will say fnrtlicr that these rcsoln- lions are fully approved Iiy yum- Pme ident and Secretary, ami tlm; anlt reading I shall move Ilicir ailm-bim.'1 There is reason to believe Unit tIn- |io- litical history made up In Uosbia last week will Lc greatly relished Lv Ull- 'country as a whole.

Strike Taken O utof the Local and State Authorities’ Hands. Omaha, Special.—On petition of a number of complainants, including the principal tranfer and delivery com panies involved, in the team ster strike Judge Hunger, of the Federal Court, granted a temporary restraining order enjoining the officers of the Team Drivers’ International Union, local 71, with all members of the union from doing certain acts calculated to inter fere with inter-State commerce and commanding them to appear In court May 20 to show cause why a perma nent injunction should not be granted. The petition was filed by attorneys representing seven delivery companies, five coal dealers, one lumber company, and one store. In their petition the complainants re cite the terms of the contract the team drivers’ union asked them to sign which provided that “no team ster shall be discharged, laid off or docked in his time or pay for refusing to haul goods to or from any bouse for a firm, cor poration or contractor declared to be ‘unfair' by the labor unions,” and then go on to relate particular instances, in which by threats, intimidation and vio lence the strikers have interfered with their lawful business. It is alleged that a threat was made by one of the strikers that if W alter Jadiae undertook to do business with non-union drivers he would be assault ed and killed. It is further alleged that iuter-State commerce was interfered with when the strikers stopped .goods in transit from Omaha to Council BluHst and from one freight depot to another in Omaha. The order issued by Judge H unger is of the most sweeping nature. Hore than £ 0 0 of the team sters’ union are named hi the order which restrains the men from “posting pictures, or threat ening any employes with personal inju ries, calling of vile names or offensive epithets or any other conduct calcu lated or intended by intimidation or by humiliation to prevent any of the em ployes from continuing in said employ ment or performing the service for which they are employed; from congre gating about the teams, wagons or em ployes and demanding and command ing that employes shall desist from their employment; from following the employes to their homes or other pla ces for the purpose of intimidating and from attacking, assaulting or injuring any of them and from publishing any orders, statements, rules, or dii*ections by the officers of the said team drivers’ union or any other sim ilar organization commanding or enjoining under the pain of personal vfolenco or other per secution any of the employes from continuing in the service of theiv em ployers; and further restraining and enjoining the team drivers* interna tional union local 71, its officers and members from continuing said organi zation and froni continuing in combi nation or agreement to restrain com merce. between the States by any agree ment or concertiug of action to prevent the moving of freight and merchandise while in transit as an article of inter state commerce.” The action of the Federal Court practically takes the strike out of the hands of the local and State authori ties. Large -crowds of strikers have gathered in different parts of the city during the day. The entire policc force is doing double duty, but no violence has been reported during the day and no F4Irests; have been made. BALTIMORE’S CITY ELECTION. BaHot in Four PrecSncU U ncounted— Will Not Affect flcLan’s Election. Baltimore, Special.—The ballots in 304 of the election precincts cast at Tuesday’s municipal election in this city give Robert M. McLanef Demo cratic candidate for the mayoralty, a plurality over Frank M. W achter, Re publican, of 520. The ballots in the re m aining four prceincts are still un counted, owing to disputes among the judges of election. It is not expected that the final count will affect Mc- Lane1S election. Mr. W achter. the Republican candi date, and his party leaders charge that many, ballots cast in his favor have been illegally thrown out and they an nounce that they will appeal to the courts. The Republican candidates for city comptroller and president of the sec ond branch of the city council were elected. The Republicans will have a majority, in the second branch of the city council and the Democrats a ma jority in the first branch. The Demo crats will havQ a m ajority on joint ballot, and will thus be able to elcct the city register. It was announced that counsel had been engaged by the Republican lead ers to contest the apparent election of Robert IS. McLane. Democrat, as may or of Baltimore over Frank C.

W ashington, Special.—Acting Secre tary of the Navy Darling has notified the Trigg Ship Building company of Richmond, Va., that unless the work on the Galveston is proceeded with at once the departm ent will make other arrangem ents for its completion. The ship was 6 6 per cent, completed when the finanoial Cmbarrassme1Ut Cf the Trigg com pany-occurred. Should the company be unable to complete the vessel the Galveston will probably be taken to the Norfolk navy yard and finished there by the governm ent Railroad Denied the Charge. W ashington, Special--iThe inter state commerce commission received the answ er of the Vicksburg, Shreve port and Pacific railroad to a com plaint of the Central Yellow Pine as sociation, involving rates on pine lum ber.

' Unrehearsed Tableau Caused Stam pede from Paris Studio. A few years ago a Boston woman was staying In Paris, and with her was a New York widow of the prim m est type. Among their acquaint ances py letters of introduction was a Frenchman who knew his Paris like a book, and a very agreeable and de lightful gentleman in every sense of the word. He proved to be guide and friend, obtaining entree for them to private picture galleries and studios whore strangers would give their eyes to go, but without avail. One day he asked if the two ladies would Hke to visit Bougereau’s atelier, and they immediately accepted the invitation, at the same time suggesting that an American friend with two young daughters, might join the party. Surely yes, and the group set forth to the studio the next day. Ascending the stairs, the gentle man went first, the three ladies fol* lowing, with the young daughters in the rear. A rap on the door waa answeredjby “Entrez!” and enter they did to benold three or four men smoking, while a fair model posed under the bright light in the alto gether. There was a shriek in the vernacu* lar, the young girls were shooed down stairs as the door banged to, and the prim Boston and New York ladies retired with much dignity to their carriage below, while their es cort "saw Bougereau about it.” Apolo gies were profuse, and two minutes Jater the entire party ascended again, and this time they found the room va cant, not a trace of the smokers or tho model, and the artist m et them as serene as a moonbeam. Not Complete. The brother of one of the Secretar ies of the Turkish Legation at W ash ington recently paid a visit for the first time to. this country, and on his arrival at New York was m et by sev eral of his former countrymen, the latter pro-Americans,. and very anx ious to exploit the greatness of the metropolis. After directing his at tention, among other things, to the great buildings in course of construc tion, tho excavations, and the other far reaching improvements under way, one of them turned to the new comer and asked: “Well, what do you think of New York?” ‘I think,” said the otuer, “it will be a very nice place when it is fin* ished.” LIFE IN SUNNY MEXICO.

Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs is a Fre quent Cause of Barrenness. Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catanh From the System. Repaired the Church Roof But it AU Came -Back. The following story i.3 told of an American who visited. * a Ti . old Eng lish church and struck np a conversa tion with the rector. The two went up to the roof for the sake of the view and the rector pointed out how badly in need of repair w ere, the leads; going on to talk in a hopeless way of the poverty of the parish. The American rubbed his chin and then offered to put on a Dew roof at his own expense. The delighted rec tor closed with the offer. The Ameri can was as good as Tils, word/ and when on the completion of the worn the rector thanked him .effusively, he quietly confessed to having made a very respectable profit cut of his “charitable” work. The rectov asked for an explana tion and then the American informed him that there is a certain amount of silver in lead, which was now eX' traded, but in old times it was left because its presence in the lead was not suspected. The quantity of tha silver in the lead on the church roof was sufficient to pay all expenses and to give the American a tangible profit. —Pearson’s Weekly. “I Do AO My House work and Take Care of My Baby and I Feel So T O the woman of ancient Israel not to bccome a mother was regarded as the greatest of earthly calamities. To beconio a mother—more especially the mother of a strong, healthy boy—was the height of glory for the faithful woman of the good oM Bible days. Even now, when maternity is not esteemed as of yore, the mother of healthy children is au object of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighbors.

The fol lowing is-a fummary of the treat ment to be recommended. 1. Gather up anddestroy all old leaves, rotten grapes and other trash in the vineyard; and culti vate the ground so astp cover such meterial as cannot otherwise be disposed of. 2. Keep the vines in as healthy, vigorous condition as possible by the use of proper cultivation and fertilizers. 3.-Spray thoroughly at least-six times during the season. Firstuse copper' sulphate, six pounds of copper sulphate to a barrel of wa ter applied to parts and vines -be fore the leaves appear. Second, use Bordeaux Mixture (5 pounds copper sulphate, 5 pounds of lime, 50 gallons of water) after the leaves and frait buds appeir, but before the flowers open. Third, just af ter blossoming, when the fruit is about ten days old. The other spraying may follow at intervals of ten days; Increase the strength of the Bordeaux Mixturein hot, muggy weather by the addition of a little more copper sulphate and' lime. 4. Be careful to make the Bor deaux Mixture properly and use a line nozzle- in spraying. 5. In so far as possible pick off and destroy the diseased leaves and berries-that you may notice, If your vineyard appears: to be over-run with, the black rot, and seem3 to be for this year pio- fitless, do not neglect it. Snch a season is just when the vineyard needs the rao3t care. Give it a thorongh treatment and stamp out the infection. (Extract from BhlIentin on ‘The Black Bot of the Grape” soon to be issued-.)

At a joint meeting Monday of the County Commissioners with the Tax Listers and assessors, the fol lowing schedule was arranged as a basis of valuation of personal property: Horsesaud mules, first class $100 to $125; second class, §30 to §75; third class, §25 to $50; plugs, §>5 625; jacks and jennies, §25 to $100 hogs 4 cents per pound, sheep and goats, §1 to §1.50 pet head; milk cows, $10 to $30; wheat 65 cents per bushel; corn, 50 cents; oats 30 cents; bacon and lard 9 cents per pound; ryj 60 cents per bushel; whiskey and brandy, $1.25 per gallon; hay and fodder,'30 to 50 cents per hundred; leaf tobacco, 5 to 20 cents per pound: mrnnfactu- red tobacco, S to 30 cents per Ib., burnt brick at yard, $3 per thous and; lumber, 50 cents to $1 per hundred; bicycles $ 5 to §50 each. —Union Republican. [The above was clipped from the Union Republican makes interest ing reading. The law as passed by the Democratic Legislature we thought required the tax assessors aud list takers to assess the pro perty both real aud personal at its true cash value, aud we did not know the county commissioners had anything to do with that as sessment until after the work was done. Butitseem sthe Iawis dif ferent for Forsyth county For syth is under Democratic control and the above valuations show that either property is to be under valued in Forsyth or prices are under tho-se of other counties iu this section. Let us see how this is, corn is 65 cents in Davie, its to be valued at 50 in Forsyth, oats SOcentsin Davie, value in For syth. 30 cents; bacon and lard 121 in Davie, I) cents iu Forsyth. We dare say there are numbers of horses in Frnrsyth couuty that aie worth $250 or more yet it seems $125 is to be the limit. Equality in valuation is very essential, if the burden is to be equal on all. Let’s have equality of valuation gentlemen. Jiavie is willing to bear her part of the burden plac ed upon its people by a Democratic legislature, but she does not want to be discriminated against by the Democratic counties like Forsyth, Your crowd, gentlemen of Forsyth passed this law requiring property to be assessed at its true value, now dout you be the. first to shirk the responsibility. Facethe music for the list takers and assessors have got to swear to what they do. No crawfish dodge in this matter in Deinoeratic .counties, should be. tolerated by the State board o equalization. Snrly Democratic control in Forsyth has not had the effect to depreciate the value of corn, O att*, bacon, horses etc? If so the farmers should vote lor a change the first eha'iee they have.

Issues For 1994 . I The “business interests” of this country include the great farming class, because their business is un questionably the very corner-stone of the country’s greatness whose prosperity is always gauged by that of the farmers, They, of all classes, can afford the least to sup port any measure or party that “endangers the business prosperi ty of the country,'’ destroys all that can possibly make farming pay. Our farmers can easily con trast present conditions with those of a few years ago when “all busi ness” was prostrate, prices below the cost of production, labor un employed aud therefore unable to consume. Hostility to evils which have developed with recent stupen dous advance in industrial, com mercialaud financial enteprisesis necessary and proper; but let only the evils be aimed at. Now is Democratic opportunity certainly. 'Aud Conservatism and Patriotism must be its ruling pas-' sion’.—Raleigh Post, Democratic. [This article taken from the Post Democratic is a strong argue- ment in our opinion for the con tinuance of the Republican party in power. Under a Republican admistration the farming class of onr country have prospered as never before, and they (the farm ers) the Post rightly say are the corner sone of the country’s great ness. This being true, the farmers art prosperous and all kinds of labor employed at good prices, prosperity in evidence !everywhere Why should any one hesitate for a moment as to how he should vote, and for whom? The Post truly says onr farmers can easily coutrast the present conditious with those of a few years ago when “all business was prostrated, prices below the price of production, labor unem ployed, and therefore unable to cousume.” What stronger arguemeut can be made for a con tinuation of present conditions! Those of a few years ago were Democratic, therefore we do not want to return to them, for the conditions were alike intorlerable both to labor and capital. The Post should quit advising the people to return to Grover and soup houses while present condi tions continue.

In ibe presence of an immense crowd, aud saluted by whistles from factories and the cheers of thousands ot throats, the Miunes- sot, the beggest freight-carrying vessel in the world, was launched on Appril 17, at New London Conn The Minnesota can stow away in her cavernous holds 28,000 tons dead weight, and. in her super structure, reserved for passengers, she can carry nearly 2,700 persons, including 172 first cabin HO second cabin and 68 third cabin voyagers. As a transport she could accommo date ten regiments. The Minne sota’s dimensions are: Length, 630 feet; breadth, 734 feet, moulded depth. 56 feet. Her great depth aud beam enable her to beat the world afloat as a carrier. She was not built for speed. Her triple ex pansion engines, turning twin pro pellers 20 feet in diameter, are in tended to drive her at the rate of 14 knots in pleasant weather. The new ship bristles with cargo booms There are thirty-tour of them, two being fitted to lift fifty tons. Some of the hatches are large enough to admit a locomotive or a freight car. She can carry a cargo that would fill a railroad train seven 1 uilc-s' long, or 125 trains of twenty cars each. .The big ship was be- guuin March, 1901. In oneinoith 2,000 tons of material were put in to the Minnesota and her sister ship the Dakota.

Charlotte, Ni C., Special.—The sev enth annual convention of the South ern Cotton Spinners? Association, •which is now in session in this city, has brought together manufacturers from all the New England States. The ” list of visitors is largely supplemented by the presence of a number of com mission men and the agents of big sup ply houses who find this an opportune season to discuss economic matters and transact business with the mill people. In discussing the assembly of manu facturers, Mr. Clarence C. Bryant, sec retary of the Cotton Spinners' Asso ciation, said yesterday: 4<It is a great and an interesting body of men. I do not wish to exagger ate, but I believe that the mill men now in Charlotte represent over a Dil- Iion dollars in manufacturing capital and probably 1 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 cotton spin dles.” Beyond a purpose to emphasize the good to be derived from close persona! contact and the purely social features of a great organization, the meeting of the spinners at this time has no pe culiar significance. They are deriving practical advantage from hearing ad dresses made by leaders in the thought of the industrial world and they are giving every evidence of being pleased with the good fellowship among them selves and the hospitality of this city; but so far there is no indication that they will try to affect the m arket by any concerted action or recommenda tion. This policy is rather opposed to the plan adopted at a majority of the previous meetings of the association, which usually did not adjourn before outlining a new schedule of prices of yarns. Speaking officially, only one membei of the association has recommended action on the part of the Southern Spinners. This was President George B. Hiss, who, in his initial address, re commended the general curtailment of cotton manufacturing. Mr. Hiss de clared that at the present high price di cotton and the low price of the manu factured product it is impossible for the manufacturers to make a reason able profit. * Thb closing day of the meeting was devoted to business matters. By a vote the name was changed to Ameri can Cotton M anufacturers’ Associa tion. The action of the association was taken by the unanimous endorsement of the following report, which was made by a special committee, consist ing of R. S. Reinhardt, chairman; J. J. Hooker, Leonard Paulson, J. P. Leak and L. C. Turner: “Mr. President and Gentlemen of theConvention: “Your committee having duly con sidered the im portant subject re ferred to them, now beg to submit to your consideration the following reso lution: “ ‘The cotton manufacturing world using American short staple cotton is facing conditions that are likely to continue so long as present artificial influence dominate the m arket for the raw material, and these conditions are so serious that action by the Southern Cotton Spinners’ Associa tion is deemed imperative, and your committee to whom this subject has been referred, would recommend that the whole influence of the associa tion be used to: “ ‘1st. To bring about an entire ces sation of night work. “ ‘2nd. Operation of mills not over four days per week. “ ‘3rd. These recommendations to take effect not later than June 1st to loth, 1903.’ “Your committee is of~the opinion that by a proper effort the co-opera tion of the majority of the mills in the Southern States can be secured and believe that an appeal should also be sent out to banks, as well els commis sion houses to throw their influence in the same direction. If favorable action is taken by the convention your committee recommend that the American consul at Manchester be cabled to communicate this action to Liverpool and M anchester ex changes/’ The association elected these new officers: President. W. C. Heath, of Monroe. Vice President, Thomas M. Swift, of Elberton, Ga. Secretary and treasurer, C. B. Bry ant, Charlotte. Board of governors, R. S. Rein hardt, Lincoln, chairman; Dr. J. H.

The association adjourned with a banquet at the Central Hntel on Fri day evening. The meetings have been largely at tended, and good work has been done. Coiiina in Eruption. Tuxpant Jalasco. Mex., Special.— There was a very violent eruption of Colima volcano Thursday night, ac companied by defeaing subterranean noises, as abundant flow of lava and a heavy rain of ashes. The eruption con tinued all night. People op the hacien das and ranches In the neighborhood of the volcano are panic-stricken and nve abandoning their pueblos for safer places. Lee S tatue Assured. Richmond, Special.—A statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander-in-chief of the Confederate Armies, will be placed In Statuary Hall at. W ashington just as soon as it can be prepared. The Leg islature toolc the final step by pass ive a bill making $1 0 ,0 0 0 available for . iliO work and appointing a commission to see that the plans are executed. The opposition developed to the statue in certain quarters spurred the Legis- Iatuie to take action sooner than oth erwise would have .been the case. WHITE MAN KILLED BY A MOB Insurance Agent Shot to D eath at W ilson, N orth Carolina. Wilson, Special.—Perry Jones, an insurance agent, who came here some time ago, was shot in his room Wed nesday night by a crowd o£ citizens who intended to run him out of town, and as a result died at 7 o’clock Thurs day morning. One of the alleged at tacking party was also wounded. Eleven men were arrested on tlie charge of participation in the crime. The objection to Jones was because of his alleged association with a colored woman. Jones stated, after being wounded, that when the men rushed into his room he fired on them, when he was shot. Jones came to W ilsoa about two weeks ago as an insurance agent, giving his residence as Little Rock, Ark. He worked industrial in surance. A few days ago he was ar rested with a negro woman, suspicion having fallen on him about a watch which was stolen in Goldsboro. The trial resulted in his acquittal. After the trial George Whitley, of Wilson, went to Jones and told him he would have to leave town. W hitley claimed to be a representative of a crowd of men in Wilson who would not have a man here who associated with a negro woman. Jones, becoming alarmed, had Whitley arrested on a peace war rant. The trial resulted in W hitley’s being put under a $ 2 0 0 peace bond. Jones received information that he would be attacked. He went to Mr. J. R. Uzzell1 a lawyer here, and told of his trouble. He advised him to go to his room and remain there until morn ing, when he would advise him further. Jones was never seen again until he was found Thursday morning in hi3 room, mortally wounded. Eleven men have been placed under arrest for par ticipating in the killing. AU those ar rested were placed in jail. W reck of th e Vera Cruz. W ashington, Special.—Capt. Slamm 1 of the revenue cutter Boutwell, which went to the relief of the passengers and crew of the Vera Cruz III, which stranded on the . 12th inst., on Dry Point Shoal, N. C., has made a preli minary report to Captain Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cutter service. Capt. Slamm says that on his arrival at the wreck he found that the m aster of the Vera Cruz had left his vessel with all his personal effects and in struments of navigation in the keeping of a “friend and passenger,” to go to W ilmington, N. C., to secure funds with which to pay for the transporta tion of the passengers to New Bedford, Mas3 „ the destination of his vessel. Al! of the ship’s papers including the pas senger list, were turned over to the collector of customs at Newbern, whither the passengers and crew were taken. The vessel was practically abandoned by her crew. As near as could be learned the passenger list of the Vera Cruz called for 240 persons, while the keeper of the life-saving station is reported to have landed 391. exclusive of the bark’s crew. This fact together with the circumstances of the vessel being brought from fresh water into the dangerous harbor where she grounded, the captain says, appears suspicious. The vessel is Imbedded In the sand and probably will be aband oned. Thirty-five barrels of whale oil comprise her cargo. Prom pt Bhipm ents Im possible. W ashington, Special.—The Depart ment of State has just received from the United States legation at Havana a report which points out the trade op portunities in the Cuban market in manufactured cotton. The report says Cuba has no advantage in its close proximity to the manufacturing centres of the Southern States, as the freight is Iower on goods exported from Eu rope than these exported from either New York, Mobile or New Orleans. As a general role deliveries can be made quicker from the United States than from Europe, but during the past year it has been almost impossible to get goods with any promptness from the United States and this ha3 caused a loss to our trade. W as the Naronic Blow n Up ? New York, Special.—Among the ef fects of the. man who sent the infernal machine to the Cunard Line dock, last week, was a piece of paper, on. which was written in French: “The destruc tion of the Naronic was complete. Mr. LeBrun, who made the box, has this moment gone to Chicago.” The-Nar- onic left Liverpool on the morning of February 1 1, 1903, with 4.000 tons of freight, a crew of fifty-five passengers who had gone to England on the pre vious trip in charge of a cargo of cat tle. She was never seen after she left the Mersey, and to this day no word of her fate hap reached the owners of the line. Fire in Suffolk. Richmond, Special—Fire which start ed in the restaurant of Robert Tate, colored, in Suffolk, spread rapidly and destroyed the offices of the Gay Manu facturing Company,' burned all the buildings on a block on East W ash ington street, some four or five, belong ing to the Suffolk & Carolina Railway Company, and burned four or five other buildings, .including Keller’s Hotel . There was little insurance. Tlie loss was about $15,000. Sueing M eat T rust. Roanoke, Special.—H. H. Markley, a local meat merchant, has brought a damage suit against ‘ Swift & Co., the Chicago meat packers, to compel them to live up to a contract m ade'by theii agent over a ypar ago to furnish meat at certain price,s. W hen Swift & Co. allied themselves with the Meat Trust and prices were advanced 25 pet cent, the trust agent refused to furnish meat at his contract prices, declaring that Swift & Co., would lose money on such nenroM.

New York, SpeciaL-The police be lieve G. Rosseau, who, it is alleged, sent the package of dynamite to the steamship Umbria's pier last Saturday, came from Raleigh, N. C., recently. This clue was obtained from an in scription -on the tag on the coat of the would-be dynamiter, left with a tailor the day he disappeared with a dyna mite package. The inscription bears the name of Cross & Lineham, Raleigh, N. C. V. M artlre, a tailor, said Ros seau left two suits at his shop to be cleaned and pressed. One was blue and the other brown. The blue one bore the name of a Raleigh concern. Mar- tire said: “I am satisfied that the man who owns the blue suit is the man described by the truckmen who took the dynamite box from Mrs. Currie’s house to the pier. He appeared to be about 40-years old. He talked like an American, with slight Southern accent, and had the air of a man of education and refinement. He was about 5 feet, 8 inches in freight, and had a thin face. He wore closely-cropped, dark brown mustache and his hair was dark, al most black. He took his hat off once while talking to me and I noticed that his head was slightly bald on top. When in here he wore a dark gray sack suit and black felt hat.” M artire says he can positively identify the owner of the clothes if he sees him again. Several persons who know Rosseau declare he spoke of being in N orth Carolina a long time. The police expect to arrest him at any moment. B ought C lothes in Raleigh. Raleigh, Special.—Joseph Bland, a salesman at Cross & Lineham’s, sold a man of Rosseau’s description a suit of clothes and a stiff Stetson hat April 21st, 22nd or 23rd. The man attracted attention by examining first a Prince Albert and remarking, “I’d be a fool to buy that when I’ll be in New York in three weeks and my tailor can make one.” He finally bought a blue serge suit, then came back and got an un finished worsted, but it is doubtful if he returned the serge suit. Milton Vog- ler, of Philadelphia, was in the store at the time and told Eland he saw the man in Rocky Mount and came with him on the train to Raleigh. Bland cannot remember what name the fellow gave, but it wasn’t Rosseau. Em ployers Organize. Kansas City, Special.—The S.000 em ployers of labor in this city have aban- ed together to fight the members of labor unions who use the boycott to gain their ends, and have formed the Employers’ Association. The associa tion decided to deliver gcods to those places where non-union goods are dis criminated against. This action has re sulted from a brewing company em ploying union men, refusing to deliver beer to a hotel bar until the union was recognized. A member of the associa tion retaliated by refusing to deliver ice to the saloons handling this par ticular brewing company's beer with the result that the delivery of beer to the offending hotel was immediately resumed. Several persistent boycotts have been laid against restaurants and various branches of trade in Kansas City within the past year, because of refusal of employers to recognize un ions. Accused of fle-rder. Newportj -News, Va., Special.—The dead body of Maggie Harris, a colored woman, was found near here W ednes day. Two bullets had lodged In the brain. The police arrested on suspicion “Dr.” Samuel Robertson, of Newport News, a negro Christian Science prac titioner, under whose treatm ent the woman has been for the past several weeks. Robertson is an intelligent col ored man, well-to-do, and bears a good reputation. He denies having had any thing to do with the woman’s death and suggests that she committed sui cide. He was committed to jail. An in quest will be held tomorrow. Injunction Against Strikers. Springfield, 111., Special.—An injunc tion restraining E. E. Clarke and 200 stviking switchmen, yardmen and othei employes of the Mobile & Ohio Rail road from interfering with the opera tion of the road by stopping trains, picketing yards’ or assembling in large numbers or in any other m anner in terfering, was granted to the road by Judge Humphrey in the United Statei Circuit Court here Wednesday. M urdered Il r Child. Petersburg, Va., Special.—Mrs. Jas per F. Gwaltney, a 17-year-old wife and mother, crazed by jealousy, today killed her nine-months-old infant with morphine and then attempted suicide by the same means. The attem pt failed, apd she wasjarrested by the police and is in jail awaiting the result of the coroner’s inquest, The tragedy is the work of gossips who told Mrs. Gwalt- pey that her husband had been seen walking, with a former sweetheart; Child Labor Bill. H arrisburg, Pa., Special.—Governor Pennypacker signed the child labor bill and vetoed the other three m iners bills- The child labor bill makes it unlawful to employ children under lG-year ol age in and about the mines. The bills vetoed were the 8 -hour day bill, the bill providing for the payment for coal mined by the ton of 2.240 pounds and the mine inspection bill Ernest Hay wood,, who shot and killed Ludlaw Skinner, at Raleigh, N C , has applied for bail on habeas corpus pro ceedings. WEATHER AND CROPS T beP ast W eek Bhowed Fair Prog ress in G row th of All Crops. There has been some further im provement in crop prospects in North Carolina during the past week, ending Monday, 11th, in consequence of the favorable conditions that prevailed for farm work, but crop growth has ad vanced slowly. The estire week wat very dry except in the extreme south ern and eastern portions where show ers occurred Monday, May 4th, and Saturday, May 9th, with largest amounts at W ilmington and Newbern. The rainfall was very beneficial In that section, and elsewhere throughout the State a warm rain is now much needed to bring up seeds, promote growth, and soften the hard soil. The tempera ture averaged over 5 degrees daily be low the normal, and roe deficiency in temperature had an unfavorable in fluence on growth; while moderately warm during the day, though nowhere reaching -80 degrees, the nights have been quite cool, and the days cloudy and windy. There was no interruption to farm work during the week, and planting Cf corn and cotton is now well advanced and in some sections completed. Low lands are in excellent tilth, but there is increasing complaint of the hard, re fractory condition of uplands which are difficult to work. Planting corn on uplands is nearing completion, but m ost of the bottom lands are still to be planted; late planted corn is coming up somewhat better than early seeded, but stands are not generally good; some corn is be ing cultivated in the south portion; cut and bud worms are injuring corn to some extent. Planting cotton is about finished in the east and south, but elsewhere not more -nan half com pleted;-the acreage will be large; some farmers have good stands, but chop ping has not commenced; more sun shine and w arth are needed for cotton which i3 not doing well. Tobacco is all set in the east, where the plants need a warm rain; dry weather has checked transplanting in the north- central section, where a large amount of land i3 prepared, and plants are fairly plentiful; setting is now await ing proper “seasons”. The condition of w inter wheat and oats is very diver sified; some correspondents report ex cellent crops, others th at both have sueffred much from rust and fly; wheat is heading low and small, and the crop will be below the average. Some pea nuts have been planted; also sweet po tato slips. Gardens continue to im prove slowly. The Irish potato crop is very promising, and shipments of new potatoes will soon begin. Ship ments of truck crops and strawberries continue. The reports concerning fruit indicate favorable prospects for apples. A t the present time warm showers would be extremely beneficial.

Charlotte, Special.—A very large number of persons took part in the memorial exercises in honor of the Confederate dead, which were held In this city Monday afternoon. The pre liminary exercises were held In the churchyard of the F irst Presbyterian church at 4 o’clock. Here were as sembled the members of the Mecklen burg Camp of Confederate Veterans, the Daughters and Children of tho Confederacy, the local m ilitary com panies, the drum corps, children from the graded school and a large body of citizens. In honor of the occasion most of the Charlotte stores closed from 4 to 6 o’clock, and it may be said that all Charlotte was represented at the exercises. Gen. C arr Speaks, Chapel Hill, Special.—Memorial Day was observed here by the college and town with appropriate exercises In Gerrard Hall. The orator of the day was General Julian S. Carr, who spoke under the auspices of the Leonidas Polk Chapter of the Daugliters of the Confederacy here. His address was eloquent and impressive and well re ceived by his hearers. Many Confeder ate veterans from the country around were present and they listened to their old comrade In arms with close atter tion and appreciation. Elegant music was rendered'by the University Quar tette and Band. A nother Mill a t Spray,' Greensboro, Speciai.—Mr. W. B. Trogden, a civil engineer, has just re turned from Spray. He reports that Mr. B. Frank Mebane and a German syndicate have bought and paid for 4,009 acres of land and will build a cot ton mill, which will be equipped with 200,000 spindles and 14,000 looms. The same company, it is said, will also build the biggest woolen mill in the world to mr nufacture blankets. -Thfi new industries will be located neat Spray. A t Pitlsboro. Pittsboro, Special.—The memorial exercises held here in the court house were probably the most enthusiastic and soul-stirring that have ever been conducted by the W innie Davis Chap ter of the Daughters of Confederacy. The court house was beautifully decor ated with flags and bunting, with banks of lovely flowers on every side The exercises consisted of songs by the local talent of Pittsboro, with short talks by the ex-Confederate soldiers- Crosses of honor were given to those, who .were not in possession of them. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL A M odel M ill Tow n. One of the model cotton-milling towns is Pelzer, S. C. It has a popula tion of about 7000, but has no muni cipal government or officers except a few policemen, whose role is evidently largely a m atter of precaution. Pelzer has at different times figured in the press of the country because of its peculiar yet most gratifying status, insuring the moral and m aterial wel fare and development of the employes of the cotton m ill whose establish m ent created the town. The popula tion consists of mill operatives, officers, superintendent, storekeepers and school teachers. These are all employes ^ of the Pelzer M anufacturing Co., which operates a total of 1 2 0 ,0 0 0 ring spin- blfes and 3200 looms in the manufacture of sheeting, shirtings and drills. This corporation, through its president, Ellison A. Smyth, manages the entire community. It owns the churches, hotels, schools, bank, arm ory and lyceum. The best possible service is rendered in the conduct of these dif ferent requirements of modern home and business life. The educational^ ad vantages refered to and the facilities of the lyceum, as well as all the other desirable features of Pelzer, are fur nished the employes and their families by the corporation. Industrial M iscellany. Particulars were annouced in the M anufacturers’ Record of March 12 as to the doubling of the Monaghan Mills at Greenville, S. C. Messrs. J. F. Grandy & Son, contractors for the 131x 164-foot mill, have since made good progress, and expect to complete the building by August 15. The equip ment of 30,000 spindles and 700 looms will then be placed in position and be put in operation by October I in time for the new crop. The weaving equip ment will be arranged as follows: 300 40-inch looms on domestic goods for converting, 200 40-inch on dobby work and 2 0 0 60-inch looms on cloths, bag ging, etc. J. E. Sirrine of Greenville is the engineer in charge of construc tion. The textile Interest of Georgia will be augmented Ihis year by a $500,000 cot ton factory and mill town, to be estab lished by Ohio m anufacturers. Site has been purchased at CartersvlllelGa., and a brick mill building, 125x600 feet in size, will be erected and equipped with 25,000 spindles and about 375 looms. The E. L. McClain M anufacturing Co. of Greenfield, Ohio, will own and oper ate the plant, producing large quanti ties of ducking to be used in its horse- collar factory In Ohio. The Georgia plant will also make fabrics into finish ed products. About 100 tenement cot tages will be erected for the operatives and a modern mill town will be estab lished. The Incorporation of the Issaqucena Mills of Central, S. C., was announced last month. The company has perma nently organized this week, electing D. K. Norris president and treasurer, and has a capitol of $200,000. It has been decided to build a plant of 1 0 ,0 0 0 spin dles and 325 narrow looms for manu facturing standard print cloth. Plans for the buildings are being prepared, and contracts for their construction will be awarded soon. Steam-power will be used. O. A. Robbins of Char lotte, N. C., is t—e engineer in charge. Textile Notes. Fulton Bag & Cotton Mills, Atlanta, Ga. (reported last month as to build a 50,000 spindle addition) have awarded contract for a 1600-horse-power steam plant to operate its proposed new mill. As was stated previously, about $300, 0 0 0 will be expended on this new mill, and contract for the textile machinery .vas previously signed. Messrs. W. B. Smith W haley & Co. of Boston, Mass., and Columbia, S. C., are the engineers In charge. W est Point (Ga.) M anufacturing Co. lias begun the erection of an extension to its buildings, consisting of a three- story room 80x100 feet, to cost about $15,000. The machinery to be added will be in the direction of more thor oughly perfecting the mill’s organiza tion for m anufacturing duck. It was announced last December that this company proposed installing roving machinery, 6000 spindles and 1 0 0 looms. It is reported, but not confirmed by authority, that the Lumberton (N. C.) Cotton Mills will add 5000 spindles. Middle Georgia Cotton Mills of Eatonton, Ga., has awarded contract for 1800 additional spindles. The com pany's present equipmeut is 3300 spindles.

T h e Spaeches o f P re sid e u t B ooaevelt an d S eeretariea S haw a n d B o o t H ave B ro u g h t A bout a A Iarked C hanse iu th e S itu atio n a n d O utlook. The changes that have occurred in the situation and outlook regarding tariff revision during the past few days are the subject of careful comment by a member of the Cabinet in the W ash ington correspondence of the New York Tribune of April 7. If tho speeches of Secretaries Shaw and Root, March 31 and April 3, respectively, were read and approved by the President before they were delivered—and nobody doubts that they were—the meaning and tho intent of the President’s speeches at Milwaukee and Minneapolis become all the clearer. Hispurpose obviously was to throw the entire w eight of admin is. tration influence against'the supreme folly of talking tariff revision at this time. Secretaries Shaw aud Root de livered powerful addresses designed to prove that changes in the Dingley law schedules in tho direction of lower duties or no duties arc not called for by any one of the conditions of in dustry and trade; on the contrary, the country’s interests will be best served by letting the tariff entirely alone, at least until after the National election of 1904. Right upon the heels of these public declarations by his two Secretaries came, first, the speech of President Roosevelt a t Milwaukee on the general subject of trusts, in which he took the ground that a remedy for trust evils m ust not be sought for in tariff re vision., The same week, a t Minneap olis, the President fired his big broad side against any and all forms of tariff tinkering. If Secretaries Root and Shaw left any part of the ground un covered in their speeches, the President certainly covered it in Minneapolis. In the language of the Cabinet officer quoted by the New York Tribune, the President “went direct to the territory where the ‘Iowa idea’ is supposed to prevail. In both speeches he struck straight out from the shoulder, and ho rang the bell twice.” In the same week Senator Allison gave out an authorized interview In which he said: “No tariff revision,” and incidentally took occasion to say that in his judgm ent reciprocity in competitive products w as a dream which has little ehauce of ever being realized. Senator Frye, the acting Vice-President, declared himself in equally positive terms. About the same time W illiam Jennings Bryan w as de livering a speech a t Des Moines In which he praised Governor Cummins w arm ly for his “progressive” tariff ideas and welcomed him to the Demo cratic fold. AU this is interesting history. It means much to the Repubilean party and-the country. It means, says the Cabinet officer quoted by the Tribune, th at “Tariff reform ers masquerading under the guise of Republicans will have to become classified under nn- other name, or welcomed back into the ranks of the Democracy, as Governor Cummins has been by Bryan. The Republican party, w ith Roosevelt at Its head, will stand for no tariff re vision, at least until, after the next Presidential election. This is the les son to be learned from the develop ments of the last week.” From the tem per displayed by the ■Iowa “progressives” it is evident that th e speeches of the President and Sec retaries Shaw and Root have not stamped out the “Iow a Idea” so far as the leaders in the revolt are con cerned. They still proclaim their in tention to clamor and work and plan for the realization of their pet amhi tion. They w ant to go thundering down the corridors of time as the res cuers of tho Republican party from the dire dilemma of too much prosperity, as the Moseses who shall lead ' that party out of the bondage of the Pha raohs of the trusts and into the prom ised land of a “reformed” tariff and “potential competition.” These schem ers for power and control declare it to be their fixed and unalterable purpose- to go before the Nationftl convention in 1904 and demand a downward re vision of the tariff. If they have their w ay they w ill force tariff revision as the dominant - issue of the campaign of next year, In spite of the demand of the President and his advisers and the best brain of the party that tariff revision shall be entirely kept out of that campaign and not taken up a t all nntil after the election of 1904. But the question is, not w hat these scheming leadfirs w ant, but w hat the people w ant. To be a leader, one must have a following. Can these Iow a dis turbers succeed in winning the people aw ay from the President and the great mass of the Republican party? Will the people follow them in the direction of the camp where Mr. B ryan stands reaching out his hands in eager wel come? It rem ains to be seen. W e are Inclined to think not- A Q uietus.

Tlic Democrats m ast take up this Imva idea, unless it is to be Himtnanly ills- patched in the other quarter." The Democrats have already negtm to take up the “Iowa idea.” Kihvard M.

Sinio then some hundreds of lJeiniirottii: | newspapers have taken it iqi and are | advocating It as an effective niiiuuit of attacking the protective tariff.

On that bunch of cherries you buy from the Italian on the street comer and eat with so much relish are clus tered four or five millions of danger ous disease germs. Exceedingly minute they are, and the flavor of the fruit is in no wise impaired by their esence, but there they are just Ho same—inicrococci, bacilli, spirilla —whole families of them. W hen we eat an unwashed pear about 2 0 0 ,0 0 0 bacteria are carried into the system, twice that number on a handful of garden strawberries, and still larger numbers on raspber ries, grapes and currants. The most infested fruits are cherries, v/ith 1 2,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bacteria to the half pound; currants with 1 1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 and grapes with 8 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 . A man will readily consume a half pound of grapes at a sitting, and if the state of his health leaves him open to the attacks of disease, it can be appreciated what a tremendous risk he runs of poisonous infection by the germs. Not many weeks ago inquiry was made into the state of the surface air in this city. The air for several feet above the ground was found to be lit erally swarming with bacteria. Now it is a m atter of everyday observa tion that the fruits exposed for s?.le on the sidewalks and curbs of New Tork are placed at no great distance from the pavement. In many in* stances they are so near the ground as to be in the very center of the germ-bearing strata of air. The in ference is'obvious. Yet in spite of these facts, not one in a hundred who hastily buys an apple or a banana on the corner gives the m atter of bac teria the slightest thought, and not one in a thousand goes the length of taking the sanitary precaution of washing the fruit.—New York Press.

Beside prescribing it for catarrh I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases.“I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering.” Only the weak need a tosiie. People are never weak except from seme good cause.One of the obscure causes ot weakness and the one oftencst overlooked b catarrh.Catarrh inflames the mucous Membrane and causes the blood plasma to escape through Ihe mucous membrane in Iiic form of mucus. This discharge of mucus is the same as the loss of blood. It produces weakness. I S m Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents the discharge of mucus. This is why Pe- runa is called a tonic. Peruna does not give strength by stimulating the nervous system a little.It gives strength by preserving the mu cous membranes against leakage.Ifc gives strength by converting the blood fluids and preventing their draining away in mucous discharges.Constaiit 5-pitting and blowing the nose will finally produce extreme weakness from the Iojj ol mucus.Ilr you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once Io Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be plcnse'd to give you his valuable adviee gratis.Adtlress Dr. Hartman.

How many pulpits in K. C. last Sunday thnndred out ag iinst the destardly crime com minted at Wilson a few nights ago? Sheriff J. L. Sheek has recently come into possession of a “conjur ers” bone. His friends are anx ious to know what use he will make of it. He may intend to in voke its assistance in tax collect ing. We anxiously await results. Look out for the “hoo doo man1 It looks like to us that the law passed by the last Legislature governing the assesrment of pro perty ought to be put. in the hands of every list taker and assessors sometime iiefore they begin their work, so that they would know exactly what the law is, but the law givers who are going around over the State are a,law unto them selves, and the a-sessors .we pre sume are to take the laws as laid down by them.

There is not a single case of small pox in Mocksville at this time, but it strikes us as rather a bad time to be holding protacted meetings in our town.

One of the most important econ omic problems before the peo ple of Korth Carolina to-day is the improvement of their public roads. The people are at last aroused to the necessity of this work, and within the next few ( 'years, there will undoubcdtiy be a demand for • a large number of men who have scientific and pra ctical knowledge of road-coustrue- tion. In order to meet this de mand, the Korth Carolina College of Agriculture-and Mechanic Arts at Raleigh offers a Summer couise in Road-building for idle benefit of those who, from a lack of time or other reasons, are unable to take advantage of the regular college com-ses in Engineering and Road- Bnilding. The course will be such as to prepare those who wish to take up this work in the future, and will also be of great beuefit to those who are already engaged in it. Instruction will be giveu in Lo cation, Grading, Construction of Road-bed, Drainage, and the use of the .various materials for the ro?d covering. Road-making ma chinery will be discussed, and the advantages and disadvantages of each machine explained as apply ing to the different localities of our State. Practical instruction will be given iu snch use of the level instrument as is necessary to the road-builder, and also such drau ghting as is essential to his work. Visitswill be made to places where roads are being built around Ral eigh. The course will lie in charge of Professor W. C. Riddick, C. E., who will be assisted by Mr, C. L. Mann, B. C. E.

Read the following: ‘*1 have always been healthy with the exception of a touch of rheumatism since my a^e came on, up to the time of my husband’s last illness some years ago. I assisted in nursing my husband for nearly three months when he departed this life and the mental strain I think caused my trouble. Aside from extreme nervousness roy trouble com menced with sore throat and neuralgia. My physician gave me purgative doses which weakened me very much and my stomach for a time seeincd inactive. Mental strain and' the dormant condition of my stomach soon told Lpon my general health. I had IitUe appetite and was soon forced to stay in bed a greater part of the time. Within a week after the time I began taking Dr. Miles* Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was up about the house. I continued their use until completely cured. My faith in Dr. Miles' Remedies has been strengthened by experience of other people, our daughter having used Restorative Nervine with splendid results in a case of para ysis and a friend to whom I sent a box of the Anti-Pain Tilis reports that she has been completely curtd of neuralgia by their use.

H ands off The Tariff. A revision of the Tariff, at this period. Mr. Roosevelt: points' out wisely, might mean utmost iuin to the country. The man with mon ey would hesitateto continue his investments where- there was a possibility of returning to a period of hard times through some mistake on the part of decidedly- fallible revisionists, while,the ever-present danger of over-steppinglhe bounds of caution in regard to the Tarilf would mean untold danger. Whatever mistakes and discre pancies in the Tariff there may be at the present time are-not of par- amoant importance- to the great prosperity of the American people. Those who would revise the Tariff if they were permitted, to do so are no less Iallible-than- those who made the Tariff restrictions, which have made the- full dinner pail i !possible in every honiein theland.

Consumer And Producer. Secvetary Shaw: “The employe of labor is both a consumer aud a producer, and therefore may be appealed to from, either standpoint The- wage earner is also both a con sumer and a producer. He con sumes food, clothing, fuel and shelter and he sells days’ work. He may be so. short Jgljted as to believe that it would be' to-his- advantage- to have cheap- food, cheap clothing and living expen ses generally. Or he might be- so farsighted . as to know that the market for-bis labor and for the product of his labor is as impor tant to him as to his employer, Thnseither the employer or the employed may be shortsighted enough, to. think their interests are unlike,, if; not antagonistic, or so farsighted, as. to know when one is, prosperous the other is never hun gry or naked, and that when, the otberis well paid the oue is always prosperous.”—Economist.

MEETING OF THE VETERANS Great Crowds of Oid Coafedrates in Kew Orleans THE CITY FILLING WITH VISITORS Decorations the Host Elaborate and Beautiful Ever Seen at a Reunion— Gathering of the Multitude. New Orleans, Special.—The thir teenth annual reunion of the TJnitcrl Confederate Veterans was opened iu the great auditorium at the fair grounds Tuesday at neon. The weather was perfect and all the xurangements by the local entertain m ent committees the mo3t successful. Governor Heard spoke in behalf of the people of the State as follows: “Veterans, the outcome of the strug gle that you carried on for four long years against the most powerful forces and armaments that the world has yet seen, in no manner or sense can ob scure the glory and fame that you won for Dixie’s land. W ith a total enlist ment of 800,000 you confronted 2.800.- 000. Cf these Iu round numbers 509,030 were o? foreign birth and had Europe been in formal alliance with the North it could scarcely have been expected to send more than this number of its o r ganized soldiery for its quota in such a coalition. Consirierlng the 209.000 ne gro soldiers, tlie 500,000 foreign sol diers and the 2,100,000 native Ameri cans. it is not extravagant to say that Ihe 600,000 Confederates confronted a coalition of America. Europe and Afri ca. “When we consider these indisput able facts we cannot but have ccmmis- seration for the person who would seek to detract from the unparallelled resistance made by the armies in gray, by impugning the motives by which they were impelled to make this truly legendary defense of their homes and constitutional rights as they construed these rights to be.” The governor concluded his address by repeating the welcome of the peo ple of Louisiana. E. B. K ruttschnitt. of Mew Orleans, chairman of the local executive com mittee, in charge of all the arrange ments for the reunion then made a most happy address. GEN. GORDON’S SPEECH. As Gen. Gordon rose to reply he was enthusiastically cheered. Gen. John B. Gordon said in part: "TV my thought it is most fitting that this proud and patriotic’organiza tion should meet again in this historic city which gave it birth. The meeting of such mea as yon welcome today, whose past deeds will reinain forever an inspiration to American valor and to future sacrifices for constitutional freedom, is an auspicious event in the country’s history, whenever and wher ever it may occur; but how peculiarly inspiring is this reunion in Louisiana, on this 1 0 0 th anniversary of her birth into governmental alliance with Amer ican States. A Roman ye would have discovered in a meeting of such men, a t such time, an omen of good to tho cause of liberty; and, American eyes should see in it nothing but good to the whole republic. It must of neces sity be beneficent and only beneficent. W e will not indulge on this centennial —this political millsnial morning—nor a t other times in any bitterness. We feel none. We pity those who do. We have long since drawn the curtain of oblivion over the regretful and un seemly things of the past; and we cherish as Americans the valor and noble deeds of both armies and of all sections. W e are satisfied with our record; and the power that would a t tem pt to make us blush for it would be ‘both stupid and blind. We are heirs, joint heirs, with the republic’s childr ran in the inheritance of freedom left by our sires. We are proud of all the past. Moreover, we are now facing a future' pregnant with tremendous pos sibilities; but we face it with a strength of hope and assurance, born of an unswerving purpose to discharge our every duty to all races, and to tho whole country. We are growing old; but we still stand firmly on the narrow strip of land which separates us from a boundless ocean.“And as we go home, we will calmly drop our mantles on the shoulders of our sons, who will worthily wear them: and in no crisis of the republic whether in forum or field, will they be found wanting.” New Orleans, Special.—Wefiuesday s session of the Confederate rc-nnion closed with a prayer. Tho first words of the petition for divine guidance and blessing were apokcn by the chaplain, while the echoes o? “taps/’ the most sad and withal the most beautiful of all bugle calls, were yet quivering m ri.e air. Fcr this was the day, a portion of which had been set apart for servi ces in honor of the liero dead of the Confederate cause, for the glorification of their deeds, for the hallowing of their memories, for the sanctification of the cause for which they lived and I died. The tribute was most amply ren dered. It was offered in the burning words of the orator and the plaudits of bio hearers, as they saw again through him the m artial prowess of their broth ers, who have joined the eternal mus ter. It was tendered in the sobs of beautiful women, and in the self-con tained grief of stalwart men, when it was borne home to them, once more that the comrades they so deeply lov ed, the leaders so highly honored could be nothing to them but a priceless memory. The memorial services were opened promptly at 12 o’clock by Gen. Gordon, who said:“And now, my comrades, the ap pointed time has come for the services in honor o? our immortal dead—and for the opening of these exercises I be- * lieve, we should give thanks to Al mighty God for the lives they, lived and ask His benediction for them and us for the time to come. I am going to ask General Young, of Kentucky, to. lead us Jn prayer,”General Young delivered an elo quent invocation, and was followed by General J. A. Chalaroh, who read a eulogy on the !ate adjutant general of the United Confederate Veterans, George Moorman, of New Orleans. General Cabell followed in a brief ad dress, in which he paid a warm trib ute to the Iaie adjutant general. The resolutions were adopted by a ciiciit rising vote. General Gordon then introduced Rev. J. J. Finley, of Fisherville, Va., w^p delivered the annual memorial serm c$ it was a strong address, fervid in its patriotism, replete with loving Yvords. i'or the dead and bright promises of hope for the South that is and the South that is yet to be. It moved his hearers to frequent applause and sev eral times brought many of them to tears. “The Vacant Chair,” was played softly by the band and then “taps” was blown. A short prayer by Chap lain General Jones brought the me morial exercises to a close, and an ad journm ent was then taken until Thurs day morning at 9 o’clock. A FATAL WRECK Making No Progress. ■Washington, Special.—No progress is reported from the United States treaty committee in China and the ex act nature of the obstacle to the con summation of the trade treaty is not known. The Chinese commissioners make oae statem ent in the matter. The Russian government makes an other in conflict and the commission ers do not know which to believe. It is probable that the State Depart ment may feel it necessary to'-cause the Chinese government to give more de finite instructions to its commission ers. Friars Will Withdraw. Rome. By Cable.—There has been a change in the Philippine Islands in the friar situation, as there is now a movement in the archipelago in favor of the members of Spanish brother hoods. The national pride of the Spanish friars brought them to the de cision voluntarily to leave the island. They felt themselves, since the archi pelago had been administered by the United States to be in a position of in feriority. The Vatican has just receiv ed several petitions from the Filipinos asking it to prevent the departure of the friars. Heavy Gold Shipments. New York, Special.—Lazard Freres & Co., have engaged $1,065,000 in gold for shipment to Europe tomorrow. Goldman, Sachs & Co., have ordered $760,000 for shipment at the same time. The Merchants’ Bank of Philadelphia, has engaged $500,000 gold at the sub- Treasury for .shipment to Europe. Total engagements for shipment Tues day, $2,325,000. W ar Telfgrapher Dead. Charleston, S. C., Special.—Daniel M. O’Driscoll, for 30 years manager of the W estern Union Telegraph Company, died here in his 6 6th year. He was born in Bantry, county Cork, Ireland and was probably the. oldest of the war telegraphers this side of the Poto mac. Ho sent the first message out of Petersburg announcing the surrender of Gen. Lee. Believed Strike is Broken. Mobile, Ala., Special—General Counr sej E. L. Russell, declares there is no reason to believe the report eurreut that General Manager C. S. Clarke, of the Mobile & Ohio, is to be succeeded by J. N. Seale, now in Jackson, Tenn., Colonel Russell says that Mr. Clarke enjoys the fullest confidence of the men who control the road. Colonel Russell claims as one of the strongest signs the railroad has that the strike Js broken is the rescinding of the order of April 9, as to the acceptance of per ishable freight by the Mobile & Ohio. Beginning Sunday, at noon, ’perishable freight will be accepted at all points. Oppose Changing Name. Savannah, Special.—By a vote of 3 to I, the diocesan convention of Geor gia voted against the proposition to change the name of the Episcopal Church to . the Catholic Church of America:. The debate on the question was spirited, Rev. G. A, Ottman de claring that the time was not far dis tant when the name would be changed whether the Georgia dioces wanted it or not. Fourteen Buildings Burned. Roanoke, Va., Special.—A special to The Times from Wyethville says the town of Max MeadowS, situated on the main line of the Norfolk' & W estern Railroad in W ythe county fifteen miles west of Roanoke, suffered greatly by fire Tuesday afternoon, when 14 build ings went up in smoke. The fire ori ginated in a stable and caused by some one smoking. The heaviest losses are: Hesser’s drug store with stock, the residence of Mrs. Bridges, the H. J. Shaffer store building, the Odd Fel lows hall and the office building of the Max Meadows Land Company. The total loss will reach $49,000 or $5 0,- 0 0 0 and is partially covered by insurance. Southern Passengpr Train Leaves the Track Near Raleigh. Raleigh. SpeciaL-The Southern Railway pasenger train, No. 36, left •here »t 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon and was' totally wrecked at W alnut creek, two mites east of here. Pas- sengers felt the jar when the enjnio leflftbe rails and’a few moments later were thrown r.om their seats. The en gine alone remained on the embank ment while three coaches and a bag gage car rolled down. The baggage car tumbted nearly thirty feet and rolled over twice. The second-class car turned ovc*r ’once and then remain ed inverted. The smoker rolled over while Ihc rear coach slid clown on its side. Th© two forward cars were al most demolished and even the last, coacli benches .were torn from the floor and piled on the opposite side. The train WrSS going 20 miles an hour when Enginesr Ripyey says the front ttuek o" the engine jumped the track. Brakes were applied but for over two hundred yards the train ran rearing up sills and scattering twisted rails. The wcrk of iiZseuc was begun immediately arid the passengers were taken from beneath seats and debris where they had been ihro.wa. The in jured v-o-re carried to Rex Hospital. The escapes are absolutely miracu lous. Ex-Senator Frank Daniels was aboard with his little girl and Jcsephr .3 Daniels’ two boys. The. children were not hurt but Mr. Daniels’ !eg was painfblly-'bruised. I. Af. Proc tor’s nose was- broken; Mrs. J. C. El lington. hip .dislocated: Mail Clerk W ill Bu*wcil, colored, sprained shoulder: Conductor Win. Coble pain fully bruised in neck, shoulders and fare: S. J... Fleming Wilson, contusion of left s'ider W. T. Dortch, of Golds boro. contusion of back; Representa tive H. B. Parker. Jr.. of Goldsboro, back injured; J. T. Bland. Louislmrg. contusion of neck; SheriJf Sharp, at Wilson, contusion of side and arm; W. H. Smith, of -Goldsboro, scalp wound; Mis. Mary Hobby, sprain. Gthei-s were slightly injured. The popular verdict ascribes Uie wreck to rolten rails, but the railroad people deny this. Rev. B rg Iit Acquitted. SyIvat Siiicial.—Au ecclesiastical council consisting of some half dozen clergymen and laymen m et here in conference with the B aptist church of Syiva Monday, the 15th. and went over the case of Key. T. Bright with the church. Th© council consisted of Rev. B. W. N. Simms, of W avnesvilie; Rev. T. F. Beits, of Bryon City; Rev. W. T. Bradley. J. D. Sltten and W. H. Morrison, with Prof. E. Lee Fox. of this place, as secretary. Rev. B. W. N. Simms was elected chairman by the Presbytery, after they had all met with the church, and had obtained from them such tacts about Rev. Brigiit as they possessed. The Pres* bytery then sat on the case for a part of two days. T hev had a most har monious session. They found some ir regularities in the proceedings of the Conferences of the Church, in taking up the case of Rev. T. Bright. They did not hestitate to bring them out in connection with the hearing of the case. Indeed it seems these irregulari ties, coupled with the confessions of Rev. Bright before the church and before the Presbytery, were so over whelmingly in Mr. Bright’s favor, the Presbytery seemingly could do noth ing less than recommend his forgive ness by the church, which they did. Rev. Mr. Bright made a full confes sion and stated that he did not know he was doing wrong when he went into the cherrv tree scheme. - Arrested For Smuggling. Beaufort, Special.—The mail boat brought news from Ocracoka Tues day that by orders the life-saving crew at PortsmouUi (5 miles from Ocracoke) had arrested the m ate and a sailor who were on the . wrecked bark Vera Cniz VII. They are in cus- today at the station, charged with at tempting to smuggle and violation of the immigration law. There are 200 barrels of whale oil on the ,vessel. There was a quantity of rum and this the Portuguese sold at $1 a gallon to people at Portsmouth. A Beaufort man who went on the Vera Cruz says he Jias no doubt that her captain’s pur pose was to enter a t Ocracoke be cause it is ’so remote from any col lector of customs. He intended to land his immigrants and also smuggle. It is said that he’ entered a lot of pas sengers as his crew, making the lat ter 25, while A4 was an ample num ber. The venoel was formerly the Moses B. Tov er and .was built at Bos ton in 1S74, and is of 605 tons. She is now 6 feet deep in the sand and it will require a very high tide and several tugs to get her to deep water. She is now leaking. The cause of her going ashore is that the passage is too narrow for a large vessel and the local piiot got her aground. There is now a notice on the boat forbidding any one to board her. M ethodist W omen a t M emphis. Memphis, Special.—The woman’s board of foreign missions of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, opened its annual convention here with an at tendance cf about 200 delegates.

Items Gleaned From|jj Newsy S Murpliy to flanteo. Mr. A. Thissr owner of the cele brated Iiaile gold mine, arrived in Charlotte W ednesday morning to spend the day with his son-in-law, Mr. F. R. McNinch, and his many friends in Charlotte. Just before going cut to the races, he concluded that he did not have enough pocket change to make him comfortable and he got Eccles & Bryan to convert a check for $50 into cash. This he stuck down into his trousers pocket and went to the races. W hen he got back he re-., ported that a pickpocket had worked him for a total of 851. Mr. Thies has no idea at what stage of tho game he was relieved of his cash. Annie Grass, the ten-year-old daugh ter of Mr. Percy Grass, who lives near tho Chadwick mill in Charlotte; met with an awful death "Wednesday m'orn- Jng. Shortly before the noon hour she was told to go and make a fire pre paratory to cooking the mkl-uay meal. On going into the kitchen she picked up an oil can and carried it with her to the stove. She poured some oil on the- fire ahd as it did not blase up at oncc, she again took the can and com: menced pouring on more oil. The oil caught lire and the can exploded, throwing the burning oil all over the child. She died before a physician reached her. Tuesday at Advance, in Davie coun ty, the wife of Braxton Bailey com m itted suicide by jumping in a well and drowning herself. As soon as she was missed search was made and her body was recovered within about tw enty minutes, but life was extinct when she wan taken out. It i.3 stated that she had for some tim e been in feeble health and th at her mind had. become impaired. Nothing more is known as to why she was led to com m it self-destruction. Mrs. Sarah A. Finger, widow of the late Maj. S. Finger, died Sunday even ing at 4 o’clock at her homo in New ton. Mrs. Finger was apparently in good health and attended the Sunday school and preaching sendees in her own church, “Reformed,” and was sitting on her porch conversing with her neice, Miss W ixie Rhyne, when she threw up her hands and cried “Oh, Lord,” and died instantly. She had been a sufferer since the death of her husband in *96, but was for some time in apparently better health than usual. A $750,000 FIre at Portsmouth—Flre Originated in a Lum ber House. Norfolk, Special.—The Seaboard Air Line Railroad shops, minor offices and warhouse on the outskirts of Ports mouth were practically destroyed by fire which broke out Friday night. At a late hour the blaze liad not spent it self, but the destruction of nearly ev ery building and car at the yards was about complete. As -near as can be estimated .at this tinw, the monetary loss will foot up to $750,009. James HarreL a inaehinisfc who sought to save his tools, was go badly burned that ho may die. No one else w as- seriously hurt so far as can be learned. Firem en from Portsmouth, Norfolk and Berkley got hose into position, but the heat of the flames drove them back before tliey could approach within fighting distance of the flames. A blinding cloud of dust; sand and grit drove hundreds of men, women and children in every direction in quest of shelter. For nearly 15 minutes the wind blew at tho rate of at least 50 miles an hour. Several children were hurled from their feet and sent rolling across the thoroughfare. Presently a refreshing shower made its appearance and soon cleared up the air. In some unaccountable way the fire broke out about 10:15 o’clock in a building situated in the southern, part of the yards. In this wooden struc ture was stored a largo quantity of dried 'lumber. W ithin a few minutes the entire building was in flames. Tim wood repairing m aterial burned like hay. In half and hour the building fell in. The adjoining building was a stor age holism for many tens of stationary, the supply headquarters for the Sea board in this section. Three hundred m en will be thrown out of employment. The wrecking shed, the stationery warehouse, the paint and oil house office building of the superintendent of woodwork, a large brick building used for the recep tion of sleeping cars in which was lo cated the paint shop, the carpenter aud cabinet shops. 50 .or more box cars and 38 passenger coaches were destroyed. A great deal of the yard trackage was also destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. W hile exercising on the track Mon day evening at 6:30 the celebrated running horse, “Mr. Smoot,” belong ing to Mr. A. G. Denton, of Raleigh, flew the,track and sustained injuries which will incapacitate him from participating in the races of the meet, two of which he was entered for that afternoon. This well-known horse has many out-of-town adm irers who had put up money on him and who will regret to hear of the accident which befell him. The horse was attended’ by V eterinary Surgeon Adam Fisher and. is now doing well. There was a -bad wreck on the Southern railroad near Raloigh Tues day afternoon. The entire train left the track and some of the cars were torn into splinters. Several were in jured more or'less., seriously, but, strange to say, no one was killed. It is not known just w hat caused the wreck, as it is said-the train was only running about twenty miles an hour at the tim e of the accident. It is announced in Raleigh that the Seaboard Air Line shops, burned There In 1890. will be rebuilt at once. M aterial is being replaced and a part of the old walls are to be used.

Refercing to ■ the “L et ‘well enough alone” doctrine advocated by Secratary Root in his Boston speech, the Minne apolis Jotirnal says: - "B ut if times continue goo'd the doc trine of leaving things to themselves will bo just as good in 1005 as now, and that sort of postponement cannot be kept up very long If the tariff is to be revised by its friends. , “There is probably not one man In a thousand in tbe United States that does net expect to see a business and industrial reaction iu this country some time within tho next ten years, and many expect it within tho next five. W hen that reaction comes it will be too late to talk about having tbe tariff altered by its friends. The people are more likely’to lie in a mood to have it altered, with a broadax by its ene mies.” • This (juestion can be tested—aud it w ill very likely be so tested—In a sim ple and direct manner. Thus: Let the National Republican conven tion next year resolve that “Tariff stability is a vital need of all business, industry, trade and com merce. Therefore, as the country is now In a highly prosperous condition, any revision of the tariff a t this time is uncalled for, unwise and unwar ranted.” Then let tho National Democratic convention next year assert iu its plat form that • “The existing protective tariff is a robbery and a tax; it obstructs busi ness:-it shelters monopoly; it permits combinations of producers to plunder the consumers; it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Therefore the tariff should be immediately repealed and in its place a tariff for revenue only should be enacted.1 Going before tbe country upon the tariff issne thns sharply and clearly de. fined, which party would carry the Presidenttial election of 1904? From present indications that issue Is likely to be presented. In such an event w atch the Republican mugwumps fall over each other in their hurry to gei back into, the Republican ranks! A few of them m ight rush in the opposite direction, but for every such deserter a score of business Democrats who are making money and w ant the tariff let alone would be quietly voting tile Re publican ticket.

As to Tnrift TSeTiHion l'lcdgp*. In saying tliat the 'iFiCiy-Gighth Can. gress is pledged to tariff revision,” for whom does Congressman Baheock speak? Not for Uie President and IiiH Cabinet, for they are on record as against tariff revision. Not for the Re publican leaders in the Senate, for they are to a m an opposed any form of tariff tinkering. Not for the Republi can m ajority of the House Committee on W ays and Means, for they hav e re fused to report Babcock’s tariff-ripping bill. For whom, then, does he speak when lie declares th at somebody has pledged that the Fifty-eighth Congress sliai! take up the question of tariff re vision? Does he speak for himself alone? Did he. as Chairman of the Congressional Campaign Committee, pledge tariff revision when soliciting from Eastern business men funds for the Congress campaign of 1002? If so. w as it from the business men of tho Democratic or the Republican party that funds were solicited ou the under standing and pledge of tariff revision? Sonie interesting possibilities are opened up by Congressman Babcock’s statcineut regarding pledges. Ar to Cnwinlnft. The “Iow a ides,” advocated by Gov ernor Cummins aud his followers, if put into practice, will knock things endwise' in that State. If Governor Cummins thinks for-one moment that the Republican party is to be fright ened into adopting a free trade policy by his ranting he is greatly mistaken. Others hare snarled and tried to flag the moon on this same line, but where are those fellows to-day? A little cheap notoriety for the sake of coming into the light will result to Cummins as that of the moth that hovers near the gas burner.

SictfX CiJ ^ v UU NORTH CAROLINA CROPS Secretaiy tiood Progress In Cultivation During th e P ast W eek—General Review. The week ending Monday, May 18th, was characterized by the general- ab sence of precipitation, except very light showers in the extreme eastern and western portions of the State about the 13th in amounts altogether too small to be beneficial; over the greater por tion of central-west section this week is the third week without rainfall,- and the drought m ust be considered as be coming quite serious. AU vegetation needs rain very much, small crops will fail soon, and the staple crops, if not yet actually deteriorating’ are advanc ing very slowly in growth; the absence of moisture is also causing seeds to i germinate very irregularly resulting in ‘ bad stands which will be difficult to remedy even with better w eather later. W arm sunny days prevailed, except in the extreme south and west where there was much cloudiness, but the tem perature for the week was brought down to normal by cool nights which were unfavorable for growth; harsh northerly to easterly winds prevailed most of the week. The drought has rendered the soil so dry and hard that plowing is becoming increasingly diffi cult. Nevertheless farm work made considerable progress, and many cor respondents state that farmers are now up with their work. Much corn was planted in lowlands, and some uplands were replanted where stands were poor; in the south early planted corn is receiving its first cultivation, though the plants are not very large; late planted corn contin u e to come up very irregularly; so far complaints of damage by cut and bud worms are not very numerous. On ac count of cool nights cotton is small and j unhealthy; chopping has commenced in j the South, where, however, a large por- ‘ tlon of the crop is not yet up; in the Current News. Kansas City has an organization, !mown as the Employers’ Protection, Association, which Is worthy of note, in that it indicates possible im portant development of the controversy and at tendant troubles between capital and labor. Though but recently founded the association has grown very rapidly and is now powerful, for it has on its mem bership roll the more im portant'em ployes of labor of the city, excepting those of the implement and packing house districts. The purpose of the as sociation, as explained by its officers, is to afford protection against certain demands often made by labor unions. Et is not, on the other hand, opposed to the organization of labor. * * * The association has already had op portunity to act. W hen, a few days ago, union men assaulted a party of non union men, the association promptly offered $500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the. men or any of the men responsible for the trouble. The police board of Kansas City promised to co-operate with the association in its efforts to see that the law is main tained, and showed on this occasion that it was in earnest by causing ex tensive transfers because the police seemed to be a t fault.

King Edward, during his recent stay at Lisbon, drew attention in one of his public utterances to a fact of which but few are apparently aware; namely, that Portugal, in spite of its diminu tive size and relatively small popula tion, is one of the greatest colonial Powers of the world. In fact, only Eng land, Prance and Germany have larger colonial empires than Portligal, whose over-sea diminions comprise an area of considerably over 800,000 square miles, as compared with Germany’s 1,- 027,000 square miles. Prance’s 4,367,000 and England’s 11,16S,000. After Portu gal cames Holland, with colonies cov ering an area of 783,000 square miles. Both Portugal and Holland ranked after Spain as a 'colonial Power prior to the latter’s war with the United States in 1S9£. But today Spain has no colonies left to speak of, save a few stray rem nants on the northern and west coast of Africa.

He was interviewed at Havre by a French reporter, while Count Boni de Castellane and Count Robert de Several-other-Things M1OntesquiOu Peculiar Elevator That Lifted Bishop Potter’s Distinguished Guest. During an uncommonly hot week of a summer when Bishop Henry C. Pot ter resided on North "WasaiiiEton square ho had as a guest a distin guished English churchman, a bishop and member of the House of Lords. The visitor was afflicted with rheuma tism end was unable to ascend the stairs from the dining room without considerable suffering. The residence was equipped with a hand-power freight and baggage elevator, largo j enough to accommodate one passen ger, although not ordinarily used for that purpose. After noticing the evi dent pain caused by the stairway, in the ease of his distinguished guest, it occurred to Bishop Potter that the freight elevator might bo available as a more convenient means of ascent. A fter dinner on one of the hottest days in summer the experiment was tried. The visiting bishop stepped carefully into the gloomy box. Two young men who had also dined well, and to whom post-prandial exertion was in the nature of a sore burden, wore pressed into service to haul on the ropos. The distinguished and af flicted guest was of a portly habit, and weighed mere than the average of “stone.” The elevator was not built for great weights, and its lifting power depend ed almost exactly upon. the main strength at the end of the ropes. W ith prodigious heaving :and hauling the ascent was begun. The two flushed and panting young men looked at each other and had emphatic thoughts. As the gaitered calves of the ecclesiastic were disappearing up the shaft, an inch at a time, a deep voice floated down to the volunteer erew: • “I say, does it run by water-power?” And in a gasping duet, the reply ascended from below: “Yes, my lord, by perspiration power.”—New York Mail and Express.

Prof. Oarie has announce to the French A'cademy of Sciences tJhat ra dium possesses the extraordinary property of continuously em itting heat without -combustion, without chemical change of "any kind, and without any change in its molecular structure. Radium, ^he states, m aintains its own temperature at a point 1.5' degrees cen tigrade above the surrounding atm os phere. The quantity of heat evolved is s'ich that a pure radium salt will melt more than its own weight of ice every hour, and naif a pound of a salt re- dium wiffl evolve in one hour heat equal to th a t generated by !burning one-third of a cubic foot of hydrogen gas. Despite this constant activity, the salt apparently remains just as -potent as it was a t the beginning.

In very hot weather do away with, heavy reasts and rich desserts. Let vegetables, fruit, fish and salads take their place as much as possible. A cupful of currant juice to a quart of red raspberries in canning will add. much to their flavor. Currant juice will also improve red raspberries that are to be eaten raw. White fabrics* especially where they are of fine texture, should never be wa&hed entirely with a yellow soap. The final rubbing needs white soap, if the material ia meant to preserve & good color.
