Upon this bond all who were injured by the violation of its conditions should have a right of action. A damage suit in behalf of a hag­ gard wife and a ragged child would be more dreaded by the average saloon-keeper than si crim­ inal warrant in the hands of a policeman. Bntwhilcwehold others to the strictest account, we should our­ selves preach and practice the great principle of temperance in all things. While the drink habit is the most common as well as the most dan­ gerous, it is not the only form of intemperance. Intemperance in eating, in smoking, hi speech, fre­ quently cause the most Rerious consequence. I have sometimes thought th at. the most .brilliant and earnest advocates of temper­ ance have at times injured their cause by the intemperance of their language. Much as we reprobate his business, we are compelled to admit that sometbnes the private character of the saloon-keeper is above reproach, and any indiscri­ minate abuse of him as a man my react upon our cause. Do not consider anything I have said as the slightest discourage­ ment iu ycnr work no matter what form it may take. Every earnest and conscientious effort eventually produces its legitimate result; and the failures of today are frequently but the stepping-stones to future success. The cause of temperance has made wonderful progress in the past twenty five years, and we have every reason to hope that this progress is but the dawn of a fairer day. Sincorely yours, ROOT. M.

We see that our worthy post­ master, C. P. Blalock, in an article to the Asheville Gazette, favors the nomination of Hon. J. J. Britt as a candidate for Congress in the Tenth district. Since his article, others have written letters on the same line in which they, too, say some very complimentary things of Mr. Britt and his candidacy. ■ We rise to endorse all the good things these gentlemen have said about Mr, Britt. We not only heartily endorse all that has been said, but all that can, or may be said in his favor hereafter. Por no one can say more for him than he merits. Wo consider Mr. Britt the ablest and purest mau in Korth Carolina politics to day. He is a gentleman eminently qnaified, morally and mentally, to fill any position of trust in the gift of the people. He would not only make an ideal Con­ gressman, but a just Governor, or i£patriotic U. S. Senator. He eer- taialy would be a great improve­ ment on our present 0ue3.—Hicko­ ry Murcery.

Mr. Ackert said that the plans were now ready and would be submitted for bids within the next SO days. He declared, in a general way, that the shops would be more titan doubled in capacity. This means that 600 more men will be employed and the annual pay-roll increased by $700,000. These are indeed glad tidings and it is to be hoped that there will to no further delay in this extremely important matter. * North State Notes. Mr. John Potts, a farmer living nine miles south of Charlotte, in Steele Creek, has a family worth bragging on. Mr. Potts, who is himself six feet and thre eand a half inches in height, has two sons who go him a half inch better, each being six feet and seven inches high. Tho average height of Mr. Potts and his four sons is six feet and four inches. He has an 18-year-old daughter who is five fefc and eleven inches high, and she is still growing. The other children have not yet attained any phe­ nomenal height, but they will probably be beard from later. Mr. Potts is the father of ten children and he says they have not cost him an average of $! each in doctors’ bills. He has not paid a doctor’s bill during the feast five years. Bud Kelly, a white man about forty years old, was struck by a train near Old Fort Monday morning and injured so badly that the doctors say he may die.- When discovered Kelly was very bloody, his face being badly cut and his arm injured. Despite this he was soon able to walk and when placed on the train held fast to one of the two lugs of whiskey which he had when the accident occurred, the other jug having ?>een broken. Kelly’s acquaintances rid­ icule the idea that he may die and cite the fact that he recently fell 50 feet off Swannanoa trestle and has been in nu­ merous difficulties without serious re­ sults. He was taken to Old Fort. Butler Christopher, who was recently tried for and convicted of keeping disorderly house, and sentenced to four months imprisonment, to be worked on the roads of Gaston county, escapec Erom the county jail Tuesday afternoon not more than one hour before an of­ ficer from Gaston county came to re­ move him and other prisoners to the roads. Christopher is an old man, and bing apparently simple-minded, he was not kept in the cells with the other prisoners. A couple of hundred yards from the jail, going at a brisk gate, he yelled to some one passing: “I amgoing home; I will be back tomorrow. R. L. Nicholsj ex-sheriff of McDowell county, an absconder, has been cap­ tured at Mangum, Oklahoma Territory, While in office Nichols misappropriated several thousand dollars, which amount had to be made good by his bondsmen. He left Marion some six months ago, and since then his whereabouts have been a mystery. A detective was put on the case, however, and he succeeded in tracking his man to Mangum, where arrested him a day or two ago. Requi­ sition papers have been forwarded to the Governor of Oklahoma and Nichols will be brought here to stand trial for embezzlement. A report on the convicts, made by a State prison official, shows that thei*e are now at work on the railway in Mitchell county 108, at Dover 54, on the Haleigh & Cape Fear Railway 50, at the railway stone quarry at Hillsboro 82, on the Wilksboro turnpike 50, ot the State farm on the Roanoke 400 and In the penitentiary 100, making Srtoiial of Suicn'1§~3£9Ufc~5G0 less than the total number of convicts 25 years ago. The great decrease in the number of State convicts is of course due to the sentencing of prisoners to work on onnty roads. Tuesday night, between 10~and 11 o'clock, during a violent thunderstorm, the Linden Cotton Mills were struck by lightning and a lot of loose cotton in the carding room was ignited. The fire was immadiately discovered by the watchman, who called for help, and although it burned fiercly for a few minutes, was soon extinguished. Abuut four bales Cf cotton were lost. The total loss amounts to about $300. AU day long Wednesday and extend­ ing into the night a medium sized crowd of negroes, led by an elder, has been in the county court house at Washington praying and singing and passing a petition to Congress to pass the Hanna bill introduced into the last Congress for the purpose of pensioning the ex-slave. They have been loud in their lamentations and are led by an elder who is duping them. The life of a child one year old was saved at Raleigh recently by a piece of beef. The child was on the point of swallowing this when it fell into a tub of water and was found there with its head and body in the water and was pulled out. The piece of beef prevented any water from entering its throat. The Lily Mill and Power Company was organized in Shelby last Wednes­ day under the charter granted by the Legislature. The principal stockholders are: Messrs. John F. Schenck, Chas. C. Blanton, H. F. Schenck and Robt. L. Ryburn.

Jlore Than One Hundred People Thrown Into the River. ’ Portland, Ore., Special.—A section of the bridge which spans the WiIliam- ette River, at Morrison street, collaps­ ed Friday afternoon, precipitating more than 100 people 40 feet into the water. Three people are known to have been drowned, and it is feared that the list of dead will be much larger when all are accounted for. Many fell on two small boathouses moored to a pier of the bridge immediately under the spot where it gave way. The known dead are: Minnie Raymond, aged 10; Lottie Cameron, aged 16; unidentified boy, aged 15. Thousands of peoplee had gathred on the Morrison and Madison street bridges and along the docks to watch Clarence Lutz, an armless man. swim across the rivere, which is about three-eighths of a mile wide. As Lutz was climbing out of the water the crowd rushed to the south edge of the bridge in order to get a good view. A section of the walk gave away under the heavy weight, and the. crowding, struggling mass of people were carried down a distance of forty feet. Hun­ dreds of the people at the club house of the Portland Rowing Club, men in boats and those on share, started to the rescue immediately. They soon picked up those struggling in the water while the injured, who were clinging to the boat houses, were taken into the club bouse and medical aid summoned. Every ambulance in the city, several fire companies and a large force of police arrived within a few minutes and the; victims with broken arms and legs were hurried to :the hospitals. News of the accident Quick­ly spread, and- with a few minutes thousands of people gathered at either end of the bridged. anxiously seeking information about relatives or friends. The bridge is an old wooden struc­ ture, having been built 16 years ago, and has heen considerd unsafe for some time, although it was not con­ demned. Another Herger. Boston, Mass., Special.—A certificate of organization was filed at the State house by the United States Cotton Manufacturing Company, with a capi­ tal of $40,000,000 in $100 shares. Henry C. Bacon is president, and M. Shumer Holbrook, treasurer. John P. Rogers iz a director, these three constituting a majority. The charter of $40,000,000 makes it the largest capitalized cor­ poration in Massachusetts. It is under­ stood that the company is formed to acquire all or a majority of the cot­ ton textile plants ,of the country in one huge trust with headquarters in Boston, but details cannot be learned at present, President Bacon declining to discuss the plans of the corporation other than to say that its headquarters would be in Boston. The charter em­ powers it to build or buy mills and to carry on a general cotton manufac­ turing business. Three Killed and ft Score Injured. Lynchburg, Va., Special.—At 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon three per­ sons were killed and more than a score injured by lightning at New Hope church, Appommattox county. ; The dead are: Paul Gowen, Charlies Aus­ tin and Aubrey Wingfield, while among the more seriously injured are: Eugene Turner, Nathaniel Morris, Tom Coleman and Napoleon Patterson. A meeting of the James River Baptist Asscoiation was in progress • arid a large number of men took refuge un­ der an awning near the building when the storm came up. Lightning struck a tree in front of the awning; causing the disaster and throwing the great crowd on the ground into a panic.' To Examine Food Products. Washington, Special.—The Agricul­ tural Department took its first action under the amended pure food act of July I, 1903, by requesting authority from the Treasury Department-^o take samples and make a cbeiriical analysis of certain food products shipped to this coustfy from abroad. The permission asked for has been granted and an of­ficial examination of these products wilt be made to determine whether their use is deleterious to health. An inquiry also will be made to determine whether their use is prohibited in the country of their origin. In either of these contingencies their entry and sale in this country will be prohibited. The Assistant Foreman Reports For Work. BOOKBINDERS NOT TO STRIKE. Union Officials State Their Case to Secretary Cortelyou and Public Printer Palmer. Washington, Special.—The Book­ binders’ Union which has been fighting the re-instatement of W. A. Miller, the assistant foreman in the government I'rinting Office, has abandoned any in­ tention of walking out even though Miller has resumed work. President Tatum, of the International Brother­ hood of Book-Binders, is now en route here from Chicago to advise with the local leaders. The latter have decided to abide by the decision of the Tublic Printer and avoid any clash with the government. Miller reported for duty about 10 o’clock, Saturday morning and Upbold Booker Washington. Tuskegee, Ala., Special.—A resolu­ tion was adopted here by the Alabama State Colored Baptist Convention, in cession in this city, severely condemn­ ing the attack made upon Principal Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial' Institute, du­ ring his address at Boston. The reso­ lution, which was unanimously adopted by the 300 delegates of the convention, uphold Principal’ Washington and pledges confidence and endorsement of Dr. Washington as a "conservative, worthy and safe leader, deserving. of the respect and confidence of ail men." was assigned to duty. The union offi­ cials announced that there would be no action on their part for 30 days, during which time they anticipated that the question would be solved by the Public Printer, It is expected that a national arbitration council will meet to discuss the situation The union officials called on Secre­ tary Cortelyou and Public Printer Pal mer and left with them a statement regarding what was done at the meet­ ing of the book-binders. It stated that Miller would be permitted under pro­ test to continue in the position to which he had been re-inslated and that there would be nothing done at pres­ ent by the book-binders that would in­ terfere with the work of the office. It gives assurance that this action is in­ spired by a regard for the action of the President and for the Federal statutes, and expresses the belief that the char­ ges against Miller will be substanti­ ated on invesigation. A similar state­ ment was filed with the Civil Service Commission. The Charlotte Evening News gives this summary of the affair: A man by the name of W. A. Miller assistant foreman in the Government Printing Office, was expelled from a local organization of book-binders ana his name was subsequently dropped from the roll of employee of the Gov­ ernment. Recently he was restored to his place in the Government employ, by a special order from President Roosevelt, which reads as follows: “Wm. A. Miller on May 18 last was removed by the public printer from his position of assistant foreman ' in the Government printing office, because he had been expelled from the local union Cf the National Brotherhood of Book, binders. Mr. Miller complained to the civil service commission, and on July it requested Mr. Miller's reassign­ ment to duty, his removal being con­ trary to the civil rules. Complaint also had been made tc the President and by his direction Sec­ retary Cortelyou investigated the mat­ ter. On July 13 President Roosevelt wrote as follows: My Dear Secretary Cortelyou: In accordance with the letter of tiie civil service commission .Qt-Jtify 6, the. pub­ lic printer- (fill reinstate Mr. W. A. Iniiler in his position. * “On the face.of the papers presented Miller would appear to have been re­ moved in violation of law. There is no objection to the employees of the Gov­ ernment printing office constituting themselves into a union if they so de­ sire, but no rules or resolutions of the nnion can be permitted to override the laws of the United States, wlilch it is my sworn duty to enforce, “ ‘Please communicate a copy of this letter to the public printer for his in­ formation and that of his subordi­ nates.” ’ ' Tobacco Association In Session, Newport News, Va., Special.—The Tobacco Association of the United States convened in its third annual convention at Old Point Besides President Carrington, of Richmond, and Secretary-Treasurer Thomas Mason, of Louisville, Ky.. there, were about 75 members in' attendance. Ow­ ing to the failure of a large number of delegates to arrive in time for the opening session, an adjournment was taken and no business was transacted. Wob Holds Up a Train. Huntington, W. Va., Special.—A Chesapeake & Ohio express train wes held up by a mob of 200 men near Clifton Forge, late Friday nigjjt, and a desperate effort was made to take negro prisoners from-Utejgain.

Cize .and Proportion Cf the Goverrv ment Standards. The manner of arranging the stars 'In the union of the American flag has never been prescribed by an act oi Congress, and in consequence there has been a striking lack of uniformity in this matter. Designs of the flag in the keeping of the Government, however, sh.ow that the early custom was to insert the stars in parallei rows across the blue field. This cus­ tom has, it is believed, been observed In the navy since 1818, at which date an order from the President directed such an arrangement to be made of the stars. In the army too, the Starfj have always been arranged in horizon­ tal rows across the blue field, but not always in vertical rows; the general effect, however, being about the same as the naval flag. Hereafter there will be no difference In the arrange­ ment of the stars between the army and navy, as an agreement has been arrived at between the War and Navy Departments. While the sizes of the Government flags are not prescribed by statute law, they are fixed by regulations of the army and navy, which have been based upon convenience, utility and beauty, and the exigencies of the ser­ vice. The storm and recruiting flags measure each eight feet in length by ton* feet two inches in width. The Host flag measures 20 feet in length by 10 feet in width. The garrison flag, hoisted only,on great occasions and national holidays measures SC feet-lit length by iOlfaet in width. The units® Is always one-third of the length of tire flag, and extends to the lovir edge of the fourth red stripe from the top. The national colors carried by regiments of infantry a ml artillery and the. battalion of engineers are made of silk. They are six’ feet six inches long and six feet wide; the union be Ing 31 inches in length and extend­ ing: to the lower edge of the fourth red stripe from the _t.on.

Lowell, Mass. — With a crash like thunder that follows a near-by flash of lightning and a shock that was felt fifty miles away, two powder maga­ zines of the United States Cartridge Company, in Tewksbuiy, a suburb of Lowell, blew up, causing tlie death of twenty-one persons and injury to more than fifty. Fourteen frame house In the vicinity tumbled down as though they Avere built Ol cardboard. Seven of these caught fire, probably from the kitchen stoves, and were consumed. At. least three persons pinned in the ruins Were burned to death* and eight others who were rescued died later. At least fifty houses were badly damaged* Early In the morning eight men, three of them employes of the company, three expressmen and two carpenters, Were Rent to one of the magazines to mend the floor. Two of the wagons had been loaded with the powder which had been removed to give room to make the repairs, when at 0.06 o’clock the explosion occurred. Clarendon Goodwin, the foreman of the crew that was removing the pow­ der, and one of his assistants. Amadee. Boulanger, miraculously escaped, al­ though they were seriously injured. At the hospital Goodwin explained the cause of the explosion, He said that the men went down to the magazine to fix the floor, and after the teams had been loaded with the powder which was in the magazine, it was discovered that a can of nitro-gly- cerine, which was stored in the maga­ zine. was leaking. Mr. Goodwin picked tip what he thought was a jug of water and began pouring it on the nitro-glycerine with the idea of diluting it and washing it up. As soon as the fluid from the jug struck the floor lie found that it was nitric acid. The floor at once began to smoke, and when the men saw it they rushed from the building, but had not gone ten feet wliett the explosion occurred. The magazine was therefore the first to go up, followed immediately by the gun­ powder in the three wagons, and sev­ eral seconds later by the second maga­zine* To tliosk who heard the crash it seemed as if there were two distinct explosions, with a continuous roar be- tWeeii them* There are, however, live holes in the ground, which seem to in­ dicate five explosions. The entire catastrophe, however, oc­ cupied the space of scarcely five sec­ onds, but in that time the surrounding property was swept as if a small vol­ cano had broken forth in its midst. Every house within 200 yards col­ lapsed. Trees were blown down, the grass within 100 yards mowed as if by ft lawn mowei'i while bricks from the two magazines were hurled far across the river and all over the neighborhood. The magazines, fortunately were sit­ uated more than a mile away from the factory itself. Both magazines ordinar­ ily contained two or three tons of gun­ powder in tin kegs, each keg being about eighteen inches liigh and a foot in diameter. For several minutes after‘the explo­ sions the air was completely, filled with smoke and dust, illuminated by Ihe glare from the already burning houses. Those -who survived dragged them­ selves to what seemed a place of safety, only to be recalled by the shrieks of those less fortunate. The wrork of rescue at once began, but in many cases the flames had al­ ready gained full sway over the crumbled ruins, and despite the ener­ getic efforts of those who were not seriously hurt, several persons were burned to death before the debris which covered them could be removed. Tffe property is situated just over the Lowell line, in Tewksbury, but the Lowell Fire1 Department at once re­ sponded and did noble work in caring for the wounded. Ambulances soon- appeared on the scene and .assisted the firemeu, and all sorts of vehicles were pressed into tjie service. Nearly two score of persons were conveyed to the hospitals within half an hour, while many more who suffered merely from slight cuts by flying glass had their wounds hound up and remained on the scene, where they also assisted in caring for the less fortunate. Tlje explosion shook the city, and ■within ‘half an hour there were at least 5000 people on the scene of the catas­ trophe, hindering the work of caring for the wounded so that the Acting Mayor of Lowell sent out a call for the militia.to assist the local police. Three companies responded and three, hours later had thrown a cordon of men around the district and cleared the plaee of every one except those imme­ diately engaged In quenching the flames and searching for other victims of the explosion. Two hundred yards further down the river from the second ,magazine the firemen suddenly came across the bodies of four little boys, who were] ju st. about to have a swim. A fifth member of the little party was for- tunately in the, river when the explo- ] sion occurred escaned without in- j jury. I Oa the other side of the ma^azin? J was a grove of trees, through which the explosion tore a path fifty feet wide for a distance of nearly 300 yards. The four little boys were caught in the centre of this path, and three were in­ stantly killed. The body of one ot them was frightfully mutilated, the head being completely blown off.^ The fourth was alive when he was discov­ ered, but died a few minutes later. Apparently the force from^ Ihis sec­ ond magazine was expended in two-di­ rections. north and south. On the north it completely demolished the house of William Riggs about fifty yards away, almost burying Mrs. Riggs and badly injuring her little sou. Mrs. Riggs was subsequently, removed, but died before being taken to the hospital. Most of the property destroyed con­ sisted of small buildings constructed of wood and at a comparatively small cost. The pronerty loss, thereiore, will be rather small.The Selectmen of the town of Tewks­ bury, In which the explosion occurred, stated that they thoueht that $75,000 would cover the entire loss. So targe was the Quantity of powder in storage that the shock of the explo* sion was distinctly felt all over north­ eastern Massachusetts. In Lowell many windows were demolished, and at places fifteen miles away glass was also shattered. The wreck caused by the explosion covers an extent of three acres. Houses, barns and outbuildings He in ruins, some half demolished and others hardly more than a heap of bro­ ken timbers. The ImiIdiug in which the explosion occurred was about one and one-lialf miles distant from tho works of the cartridge company, which are in Low- eil. Within a distance of fifty yarfls are half a dozen houses. One. hundred yards away there are twenty houses more, and beyond that the buildings are close together. Every structure within a ourtrter of a mile was torn within and without. Men, women and children who were inside sustained cuts, bruises and broken bones. Most of those killed were employes of the concern or persons living in the small houses destroyed. TURK LONG HELD OFFICE. iCnowledge of Siaie Secrets Knabled H im to H ate Hfs Owu "Way.

AU M arkets B etter F or Cnba Ilia n One M arket Only, IVhilo Canada IViU Not Sacrifice H er Domestic IniAiistrles by T ariff Concessions. In the following commcnt by the free trade SpringBeld , Eepublican there is more of fact tlian is customary in that newspaper’s discussion of tariff mat­ ters: “Cuba is reported to be losing inter­ est in the adoption of reciprocity by the United States. It is finding itself able to get along very tolerably Tvith- out reciprocity. One of the Minnesota Congressmen say the people of that State are becoming more and more concerned about reciprocity with Can­ ada, but Canada’s interest in reciproc­ ity, under repeated rebuffs from the United States, has been declining as interest on this side has been increas­ ing.” It is undoubtedly true that Cuba is caring less and less about reciprocity. She never really cared very much about it. The scheme of tying up Cuba with a bargain that in the long run was sure to bo a bad one for her, while it was a viciously unfair and injurious bar­ gain for the sugar and tobacco produc­ ers of the United States, originated with Havemeyer’s Sugar Trust. Cuba was not solicitous about the arrange­ ment. Hevemeyer was. The Sugar Trust literary bureau was for a time successful in exploiting the idea that a moral obligation was involved on the part of the United States. Many sin­ cere and conscientious people support­ ed the reciprocity proposition on that gronnd solely. They recognized its in­ justice to a large and important body of domestic producers, but they felt bound to redeem a promise which they were persuaded to believe had been made at some time by somebody. They seem to have lost sight of the fact that nobody had the shadow of a right to make such a promise or the power to carry It out—that is, nobody but the United States Congress. There is, we believe, no pretense than Congress ever made such a promise. But the moral obligation plea so shriwdiy worked up by the Sugar Trnst finally flattened ont. For a long time past it has been patent to the dullest comprehension that there is no moral obligation in the vase; merely a business deal in which a favored num­ ber of American manufacturing and commercial interests stand to get great­ ly the best of the arrangement, while the Cuban people, outside of those identified with the affairs of the Sugar Trust and the..'Tobacco, and Ciga.r Trust, are certain to be injured more by cutting themselves off from the world’s markets than they would be benefited by giving to the United States a monopoly of Cuban trade. This is a view now very generally held In Cuba. It explains why Cuba is “losing inter­ est in the adoption of reciprocity by the United States.” Similarly true is the Republican’s as­ sertion that “Canada's interest in reci­ procity, under repeated rebuffs from the United States, has been declining as interest on this side has been in­ creasing.” Canada has found ont that the United States, even if it would con­ sent to any sort of reciprocity, cer­ tainly would not consent to a reciproc­ ity limited strictly to natural products. Both Canada and the United States are sellers of natural products. Neither is a buyer. Canada 'would have much to gain "by such reciprocity. The farmers, lumbermen and fishermen of the United States would be the losers. Finding that no such jnghandled swap can .be made, Canada has naturally lost interest In reciprocity. Nobody in Canada, possibly excepting the farm­ ing, lumber and fishing interests, favors reeopricity in manufactures. Reciproc­ ity In manufactures would virtually kill every Canadian manufacturing in­ dustry. Reciprocity of this kind, with a preference in favor of the United States, would not fail to bitterly offend Great Britain, to say nothing of Ger­ many, France and the rest of the world. It is doubtful whether the Brit­ ish Government would tolerate an ar­ rangement so unfair and so injurious ta the manufacturing interests of the United Kingdom. On Monday of this week this very question was under dis­ cussion in the House of Lords. The cable report says: “The Marquis of Lansdowne, Secre­ tary of State for Foreism Affair*. TE<* Government considered that the tinie had come when they should en- deavor to find some means of ascertain* mg whether It was possible to obtain closer fiscal union with the Colonies; to find some means of protecting them if they were subjected to ill-treatment in consequence of the. preferential treat­ ment thy granted to the mother coun­ try, and to discover means of protect­ ing British Interests against inequitable competition.” . . . Closer fiscal union with the Colonies and the vital need of discovering “means of protecting British interests against inequitable competition,*’ tucli is and must be British policy. In these circumstances is it to be for a moment supposed that Canada, for the sake of enriching the manufacturers of tlie United States, will enter into a reci­ procity arrangement that will stifle her own Industrie! and at the same time subject British interests to a still more “inequitable competition” than that which is now complained of? Such a proceeding on Canada’s part Is out of the question. That is why Cauadii is losing interest in the reciprocity game. That is why the National Heciprocity League and its Minnesota, branch, that Is especially devoted to the Canadian part of the project, arc wasting their time. AU the facts and conditions are against any general scheme ot reci­ procity between Canada and the United States. There will be reciprocity when Canada becomes an. integral part of tlie United States; not before. U anda OlT tlie Tarifi. A revision of the tariff at this period. Mr. Roosevelt points out wisely, might mean the utmost rnin to the coriiitry._ The man with money would licsiiate to continue his investments where there was a possibility of returning to a period of hard times through sonic mis­ take on the part of decidedly fallible revisionists, while the ever-present danger of overstepping the bounds of caution in tlie regard of the tariff would mean untold danger. Whatever mistakes and discrepancies in the tariff there may be at the present time are not of paramount importance to il:e great prosperity of the AiiierIcsui peo­ ple. Those who would revise the tariff if they were permitted to do so are no less fallible than those who made the tariff restrictions, which have mailo the full dinner pail possible in every home in the land. Hands off Uie tarifr. —Schenectady (N. Y.> Union, P u ty ou Coal. The coal duty is the very ol.Iost of the protective measures on the statute books,::0f this country. The original tariff act of 1789 imposed a duty upon coal of every kind and quality, and there has never heen a time until now when bituminous coal entered the country free of «'.uty. The need of pro­ tection in the East and Middle West has long gone by, so there was not a coal operator in any of the sections now suffering from the coal shortage who interposed the slightest objection to the repeal of a duty which was meaningless to him. The tariff did pro­ tect an industry in the State of Wash­ ington. Its removal Is a heavy Kow to this State; and the worst of it—:he really irritating point—is that the ac­ tion of Congress will bo absolutely without any benefit to the coal con­ sumers in whose interests it was osten­ sibly taken.—Seattle Post-Inteliijcucer.

The new order came from St. Peters­ burg. Mr. Loomis was not told why it was issued, and was left to guess its real purport. One reason assigned by State Department oflicers is that the Czar has decided to reduce expenses by abolishing the consulates at the 'ports at which passports will be no longer vised. This sweeping reduction in Russia’s consular representation in the United States would in itself be a slap which diplomats especially would be quick to recognize. The real reason is believed to be the determination by Russia to exercise, a much more strict supervision over Americans who want to travel in fhat country, with a view to shutting out all of the prominent people who took a leading part in the demonstrations in behalf of the persecuted Jews follow­ ing the Ivishineff massacre. This em­ bargo may even extend to all ihe sign­ ers of the Kisbineff petitions so far as their names can be ascertained. The largest demonstrations wore held in Washington, New York, Chicago aud San Francisco, aud the Russian consu­ lar representatives in those cities have complete lists of the men who are re­ garded with disfavor by Russia 011 ac­ count of their activity in behalf of the Jews. Passports issued by the State De­ partment for travel in Russia are of 110 value unless they bear the indorsement of some Russian consular representa­ tive who has the necessary authority. Any consul can refuse to indorse a passport for any reason or for none at all, and even Secretary Hay or <he President cannot ask him 'Wlijr. His refusal to vise the passport ends all ar­ gument. The belief that Count Cassini will not return to this country as Russian Ambassador or in any other capacity is growing. Mail gossip from St. Pet­ ersburg speaks of Alexander Isvolsky as his probable successor. The same advices hint that the United States may be deprived of the presence of auy Rus­sian Ambassador for some time. Mr. Isvolsky was until ’recently Russian JCinister to Japan, and until the Count Cassinifs return was said to be slated for the Danish mission. He was for­ merly one of the Secretaries of the Embassy in Washington. RACE MURDER BY MOTHERS; Indorsem ent of D r. WoodvrariVs View as to Neglect of Infants. Washington, D. C.—Dr. George N. Acker, visiting physician at the Chil­ dren’s Hospital, fully agrees willi Dr. ATilliam C. Woodward, Health OfHeer of the District, that race murder is be­ ing committed Jiere through the care­ lessness and negligence of mothers. The mortality of infants is a matter of grave concern to the public. The death rate is so abnormal that the question can 110 longer be, put aside without comment. A remedy is needed. That remedy must be provided by the people themselves. Without a shadow of doubt the con­ ditions are due to the improper feeding of children. The chief fault lies in the careless use of milk—impure milk is death to an infant. ‘But this is not all. The basic trou­ ble is invariably found in the iffiiorauee of the mother, who knows nothing and cares nothing about the proper nour­ ishment of children. It is their wilful neglect and lamentable ignorance that results in the excessive death rate— and ‘race murder.* * NEGRO WOMAN LYNCHED. W as a Servant undJW aa Accused of Fois- oning One of the Fam ily. Shreveport, La.—Jennie Steer, the negro maid servant who poisoned Miss Dolan, was lynched a few miles from the scene of her crime. A flepinty sheriff was sent to Cross Keys, where tlio- woman was arrested, in the hope of preventing the lynching, but arrived there too late. The lynched “woman was in the em­ ploy of Mrs. Frank Mnithews at the time oi the mysterious murder of that woman last April and it is now' Uiouglit she had some hand in it. It was developed that she had previously attempted the life of Miss DeIan but had failed. She killed Miss Dolan by putting poison in a glass of lemonade. Mlss Dolan was sixteen years old.

Paterson, N. J.—A dense black cloud, assuming the shape of a cone, and whirling with furious rapidity, loomed up over the top of Garrett Mountain, just southeast of Paterson, at 3 o’clock p. m. In less than ten minutes it strept over that section of the city knowu as South Paterson, killing four persons, seriously injuring fifteen, and hurting more than a hundred, and wrecking six buildings and damaging more.thau 200 others. Then it passed over the Passaic River, across the meadows, and disappeared in the air. The tornado was directly preceded by a literal cataract of rain. Close to the depot of the Lackawanna Railroad it first struck the earth. It swept up Main street and passed through a big brick house at No. 680, tearing it to pieces. Here occurred the first death. Joseph Van Dorn, a plumber, was at work inside. He was crushed lifeless. Four companions were also buried in this wreck, but were dug out fearfully mangled and taken to St. Joseph’s Hos­ pital. It was this hospital which the tor-’ nado next attacked. It stood right in the path of the blast, and its solid con­ struction only saved it i^rom destruc­ tion. Its windows, awnings and frame porticos were whirled up iuto the inky sky, nearly every pane of glass was smashed, and about forty big shade trees in the grounds were torn out by their roots and deposited in the nearby road. Stern & PolilytS silk mill in Front street caught one edge of the tornado and escaped with the loss of a big section of its room. The structure was crowded with operatives, however, and the doors were locked to prevent them from rushing out to certain death among the Dying debris. The Passaic Rolling Mills next re­ ceived the full fury of the blast. The roof was torn off and sections of the wall fell in. Over a dozen workmen were injured there. John Saunders and John Connolly sustained such severe injuries that they were carried to St. Joseph’s Hos­ pital. In the Sandy Hill section the tornado transformed a score of pretty frame cottages into heaps of kindling wood. The inmates were compelled to take their chances in the open air. Charles P. Lowerie, a blacksmith, rushed out of his shop just as it fell at his heels. At Chestnut nnd Clay streets the wind tore to pieces a big laundry building and the huge timbers began to descend upon the house at 78 Chest­ nut street almost opposite. One of the frightened inmates, an eight-year-old boy named Charles Hancock, ran out. As he did so a Umber weighing 200 pounds came down upon him like a cannon ball, completely severing his head from his body.Not a tree or telegraph pole was left standing in the track of the storm. The General Hospital buildings w’ere next visited. They sustained damages similar to those of St. Joseph’s. For a moment the blf.st swirled in its course and struck a corner of the magnificent iesidence of the late At­ torney-General, John W. Griggs. It was severely damaged. Mary Nevinst seventy years old, was the third victim of the tornado. Her home in Straight street was on the edge of the wind current. She was fo fright­ ened, however, by the roar and dark­ ness, that she fell dead on her door­ step from heart disease. In all about fifty buildings were wrecked. The storm tied up local traffic of all kinds. Trolley wires were blown down everywhere. Men, women and children ran fran­ tically about tlie streets, bleeding from wounds inflicted by the flying debris. Every doctor in town had his hands full, and the hosnitnls were besieged when the storm abated. To add to the horrors of the storm, fires broke out in several sections of the city, caused by falling buildings. The heavy vainfall materially aided the firemen, however, in extinguishing the flames. About 4 o’elo;!: the sky cleared again and rescue parties were made up to render all me necessary help to suf­ ferers. At first It was reported that several hundred people had been killed. A view of the havoc wrought by the storm makes it seem miraculous tliat the death list is so small. At midnight the police had secured a record of 125 persons who had be'm treated at ti e different hospitals. One case was recalled at t' ; General Hospital, where•* sliver of wood had been driven three inches Into the hip of an unknown man. The damage was greatly increased by a heavy rainstorm, which began about 10 o’clock p. m.. and continued for two hours. The deluge seriously hampered the work of the rescuing party.

G .r PIUS X. NOW POPE CarOioal Sarto, Patriarcli of Yenice,'" by Conclave, ; Takes Tbat Name. The New Pontiff is Expected to Fol­ low Policy of Leo XIII.— His. Election is Popular. ’ Rome.—Tlie conclave, after being in session for four days, elected Giuseppe Sarto, Patriarch of Venice, as Pope to succeed Leo XIII., and he now reigns at the Vatican and over the Catholic world as Pius X. At night all Koine was illuminated in his honor. His elec­ tion and the assumption of Ids holy office were marked by a striking dem­ onstration and impressive ceremonies at the Vatican, which only ended in the evening. On the following day the new Pope, clad in his full pontifical robes and with all the ritualistic ceremony, re­ ceived the members of the Diplomatic Corps, the Cardinals and the Bishops, who then offered their official homage, this notwithstanding the fact that twice on the previous day the Cardin­ als and many high officials of the Vati­can went through a similar ceremony. The election of Pius X., once it was consummated, was proclaimed in a loud voice by the Cardinals* scrutineers to the Sacred College. Monsignor SIerry del Valt Secretary of the con­ clave, and Prince Cliigil Marshal of the conclave, were notified through a bell by Cardinal Oreglia. The Pope took the throne and re­ ceived the so-called “first obedience” of the Cardinals. All kissed his hand and foot, while he saluted each on the cheek with the kiss of peace. Then all sang the Te Deum, after which the Pope administered the Papal blessing to all. of the members of the Sacred College. • The fisherman's ring was placed 011 the Pontiff’s finger. The new Pope appeared before St. Peter’s and, amid the most intense ex­ citement of an enormous crowd, pro­nounced his blessing on the people. The election of the Patriarch of Ven­ ice was unanimous. After Monday’s ballots it was a foregone conclusion that he was the only candidate suffi­ ciently acceptable to all to secure; the necessary- two-thirds, which the laws of the church require. One of the Car­ dinals said that he believed Pius; X. would follow the broad lines of Pope Leo’s policy, although not likely to ac­centuate it. This voices the general feeling here, which is one of satis­faction. Although the election was over at 11 o’clock a. in., and was announced to the world forty-five minutes later by the appearance of the new Pope at the window of St. Peter’s, the con­ clave was not formally dissolved tintil 5.30 p. m. The Cardinals then; re­ turned to their various apartments in Rome, with the exception of Cardinals Rampolla and Oreglia, who temporarily retained their official suites in ; the Vatican, and Cardinal Herrei*o y Es­ pinosa, who was too ill to be moved for several days. It was to the sick Cardinal that the new Pope paid his first visit after being formally pro­ claimed Pontiff. With the exception of the Spanish Cardinal, Herrero, all the others are now in fairly good health. When the first ballot of the conclave was taken it showed that the Sacred College was divided into two groups, the stronger one for Rampoila and an­other quite so strong for Serafino Van- utelli. The other votes were scattered, but included four for Sarto. On the subsequent ballots, while the two principal parties were losings ground, Sarto gradually gained, draw-, mg strength from both sides as well as from the neutrals, until the ballot when his vote had increased to- thirty-s.even,' within six of'the ,necessary two-thirds. • When the resiiit of . this ballot was ’ announced in the conclave CardinalSarto was so overcome with emotion and so touched by the unlooked-for. confidence reposed in him that he could no longer control his feelings, and, to the surprise of all, *he broke down,‘de­ claring that such responsibility and:- honor were not for him,' and that he must refuse them if offered, Tears rolled down his cheeks, and he seemed firm in his determination to refuse the dignity. He was so palpably sincere that consternation reigned in the con­ clave, and the Cardinals snenfc the whole evening, and far into the night in cojivincing"him that his election Vas the will of Providence, and: tliat-he must accept. ' ■' Several tiines he almost fainted and had to be revived by the use of salts. He seemed happy but broken down even after all the other candidates had retired, and on the final ballot he looked a, statue of resignation. Cardi­nal Casetta, as'scrutineer, was reading out the vote. When forty-two votes had been recorded for the Patriarch of Ven­ice the scrutineer arose, lifted his red succhetto, saying: “Habemus Pontifieem.** But from many sides Cardinals cried out “Continue.” ' As the vote neared fifty, however, the Cardinals,*; with one accord, sur­ rounded the new Poatiff amr according to tradition, demanded to know if he would accept the pontificate. Cardinal Sarto’s lips trembled so that he could hardly articulate, but after a visible effort he said: - - “If this cup cannot pass from me- There he paused, bu't the Cardinals around him insisted that it was neces­ sary for him to answer “yes” or “aor! Thereupon he replied firmly, “I ac­ cept.” The Cardiiials thereupon removed their baldachins, so that that of Sarto was the only one remaining, thus marking him as their supreme head. The passing supremacy of the Cardi­nals was gone and was now concen­ trated in one person.During the subsequent ceremonies, when the newly elected Pope bad donned the robes of his holy office, the Secretary of the conclave, Mgr. Merry del Valt kneeling, offered .him the Pa­ pal white cap, amidst breathless si­ lence. He did not follow the precedent created by Pope Leo, who declined to give his red cap to the master of cere­ monies as a sign that he would soon be created a Cardinal, but, with a slight smile, Sarto took the white caps placed it calmly on his head, and .dropped the red one lightly on the head of Mgr. Merry del Val, amidst a murmur of approval. This is taken as a certain indication that the happy re­ cipient 1s soon to be raised to the Car- dinalate.The Pope has confirmed in the post of master of the chamber Mgr. Bisleti, who was so trusted by Pope Leo in that position, and has also reappointed Dr. Lapponi, the Papal doctor.Venetians who know the new Pope well say that he will soon be as much beloved as Pontiff as he was as the be­loved Patriarch o f. the poor of the Adriatic. In appearance Pius X. is a very handsome man. He has a fine, erect figure, despite his sixty-eight years, his face greatly resembling that of the late Phillips Brooks, the eminenj Boston divine.When he pronounced his first bene­ diction at St. Peter’s his voice rang out with splendid resonance. In every way he showed beyond a doubt that he has dignity and personality in keeping with the best traditions associated with the famous Pontiffs who for centuries have ruled the Vatican. AXili EUROPE SURPRISED* TSie Kcw Pope H ad Not Been Considered as a Candidate. London.—News of the selection of Cardinal Sarto as Pope reached Eng­ land first through a dispatch from New York City, and caused great surprise here, as it did throughout Europe, as Cardinal Sarto had hardly been thought of as a possible successor to Pope Leo.The first question asked, not only by laymen, but by high church dignitar­ ies, was “Who Js Sarto?” Books of reference were quickly hunted up In order to ascertain knowledge of the ca­ reer of the new Pontiff, Berlin. — Replying to the question whether the election of Cardinal Sarto as the new Pope was acceptable to Germany, a representative of the For­eign Office answered: “Unqualifiedly so from an official viewpoint. Sarto is a mild-mannered man and has never been active politically.” All sections of the press regard the choice as wise, praise Sarto’s concilia­ tory character and emphasize the be­ lief that he will be a religious rather than a political Pope. It is remarked that Sarto is the only Italian Cardinal whom the King of Italy received. Paris.—Theelection of Cardinal Sarto as Pope created a distinctly favorable impression in Governmental quarters. The choice of Sarto is satisfactory as apparently ensuiing the continuance of the recent policy of moderation fol­ lowed by the Holy See in its relations with France and other Catholic conn* tries. ( . Washington, D. C.—The election of Cardinal Sarto as Pope came as a sur­ prise to the Catholic dignitaries of Washington, to whom the new Pope is quite unknown, except as an able and devout member of the Sacred College. Monsignor Fanconio, the Papal Dele­ gate, as soon as he is officially advised of the election of Pius X., will send out to the Catholic prelates of the United States a circular letter com­ mending him to their loyalty.

Pius X. was born" In the village of Riese, in the Diocese of Treviso, and the Province of Venice, June 2, 1835, He was educated in the Salesian Sem­ inary at Cottolengo, where he made'an excellent record in his studies, and at­tracted, attention by. his marked seri­ ousness. Jtfosfe of. his subsequent life as? parish priesfe and afterward as bishop, lie has spent within the Prov­ ince of Venice. The singular success of his work as a parish priest early brought him under the notice of supe­ riors, though he • was less known in Rome, as he kept aloof from the Curia and seldom left his work od the Vene­ tian mainland. He was made Patri- .arch of Venice and at the same time created Cardinal, June 12, 1893. In this position he has shown great 'en­ ergy and ability as an administrator, and has also become known us a sound authority on divinity. Personally he is a man of medium figure and a fresh, almost youthful face, which contrasts singularly with his silvery white hair, the invariably ^tousled’’ appearance of which adds to his appearance some­thing almost boyish.

Asotin, Wash.—A mob of IGOO men, in spite of the efforts of Sheriff Rich­ ards. of Asotin County, father of the victim, lynched William Hamilton, a well-to-do farmer, the self-confessed murderer of little Mabel Richards. Tlie lynchers, who wore handkerchiefs to conceal their faces, carried out their work in a quiet and systematic man­ ner. Shortly after midnight a small band of men marched to the jail and swept aside the officers and guards, twenty-five of whom were special dep­ uties sworn in . y the victim’s father. The men took the keys from rhe jailor, but were obliged to saw tho bars of Hamilton’s cell before the door could be opened. Hamilton was then dragged out and into the yard. Meanwhile another and much larger band of masked men had marched to the jail and kept back the crowd which had waited all night for the lynching. Then the men who had been guarding the jail formed about me captive and captors and kept the crowd away. When the lynchers with Hamilton reached First and Fillmore streets they halted under a guy wire connecting electric light poles. Hamilton was asked if he wanted to confess. He did so. Finally he asked that his jewelry and trinkets he had be given his father and mother, and it was promised that this would be done. Then there was another delay while the manner of Hamilton’s death was discussed. Some wanted to torture him, but it was decided to hang him. A mask was put over the man’s head, a rope around his neck thrown over the guy wire and seized by many lynchers. When certain he was dead the body was left hanging and the crowd quietly departed. $80,000 JEWEL ROBBERY IN HAWAII Mrs. Samuel. TParJter’s D iam ondsr Taken' After A ttendlnga Deception.

India. — Viceroy Curzon in­ formed the Council that he had.decided to accept the Government’s offer of an extension of his term of office, with permission to take a vacation in Eng­land in 1904, should he so desire. Lord Curzon said he was fully aware of the strain on his health and spirits, and the fact that only two Viceroys in the last fifty years had stayed in office beyond five years. This, however, was loo short a term for a Government which had embarked on wide schemes of reform, and it would be a neglect of duty to abandon his share of the work.

Coudil iou of H is H ealtli M akes I t Im pos­ sible F or H im to Continue a t the Head of the Corporation. New York City.—Charles M. Schwab tendered his resignation as President of the United States Steel Corporation at a meeting of the directors, and the resignation was accepted. William E. Corey, ay ho was recently elected assist­ ant to President Schwab, was named as his successor. Schwab remains a member of the Board of Directors and of the Finauce Committee.Tlie directors created the new office of Chairman of the Board of Directors, and elected Judge Gary to that posi­ tion. The incumbent of the new posi­ tion will share the duties of the Presi­ dency with Mr. Corey, and will act in an advisory capacity toward him. The directors also created a new committee to he known as the Advisory Commit­ tee, and appointed as its members Dan­iel G. Reid, William Edenhaum and E. C. Converse. It will be the duty of the committee to consider and make rec­ ommendation concerning questions of manufacturing, transportation and op­ eration. W. E. Corey, the new President, will get a salary of $75,000 a year. This is an increase of $25,000 over his salary as assistant to the President, but is a decrease of an equal sum from the salary paid Charles M. Schwab. The salary of the President was set orig- iually at $100,000, but by some procesk not made public it was-cut to $75,000 when the profit-sharing scheme among employes was nunouneed. J. P. Morgan gave out the following statement: “I deeply regret that the condition of Mr. Schwab s health ren­ ders it impossible for him to continue at the head of the Steel Corporation. His loyalty to the interests intrusted to him cannot be doubted, and from the early days cf the inception of the corporation he gave to, its formation, unification and development his une- qualed powers as *n expert in the man­ ufacture of steel. I consider that in Mr. Corey the directors have secured an eminently competent successor to Mr. Schwab ^ud I am confident that the future will prove this to be the ease. In fact I think that to-day the steel company in all its branches is in­ trinsically in a stronger and better po- sifcioD;-flian it ever has been.” J In tlie meantime Mr. Scliwdb had sent word to the newspaper men that he would receive them in his office on the floor above. They found him seated in a corner in the great office. The President of the Steel Corporation looked the sick man he is. His face was pale, the whites of his eyes had a dull, leaden look, which is one of the manifestations of a peculiar form of nervousness, and his manner was un- IHisy. His voice, however, was firm and his words were pronounced with precision and decision. The substance of Mr. Schwab’s re­ marks was that the newspapers had not created him fairly and had mis­ represented his connection with the United States Shipbuilding matters. The only reason why he- had resigned the Presidency was that he needed rest. He still remained, he said, one of the largest stockholders in the Steel Cor­ poration. His main object now was to recover his health. He was suffering from a nervous breakdown. W ills Avray Phantom E state. At the age of eighty-one Isaac B.

In his message to Congress, which opened in Lima, Pern, President Ro- mana said law and order had triumph­ ed in the republic, which was enjoying peace and prosperity. The general strike of Spanish work­ men to enforce a demand for release of prisoners began; many strikers in Barcelona returned to work. Some opposition to the Irish Land Bill was shown in the House of Lords when the measure was brought up for passage on second reading, but it was advanced without a division. The Portuguese Cabinet and the military and civil authorities at Lis­bon were guests of Admiral Cotton at a luncheon given on the Brooklyn. It was reported that fresh repre­ sentations regarding the excesses in Macedona were made to Turkey by the powers. President Roosevelt’s reply to King Charles’s cablegram made an excel­lent impression in Portugal. Premier Balfour announced in the House ol' Commons that a tariff bill would be introduced.

A Dem and May Be M ade Fov a B etnrn of P art or AU th e Money P aid on Contract. Washington, D. C.-Secretary Root made public all the papers relating to the investigation into the Govern­ ment contract for gloves with E. R. Lyoa. This contractor obtained the gloves from Littauer Brothers, the senior member of the firm, Lucius N- Littauer,-being a member of Congress. Secretary Root has referred the case to the Department of Justice in order that it may be ascertained-if the law has been violated, and, if so, that ap­ propriate measures may be taken in the premises.General Davis recommends that the testimony of two witnesses who could pot be found by Inspector GarIing- ton is rather important, and that the investigation be continued with a view of getting their testimony. When taken he says it can be referred to the Department of Justice with the other papers in the case. Secretary Root in an indorsement on the opinion of Judge Advocate-Gen­ eral, which sends the case to the De­ partment of Justice, says: “There appears to be no evidence that in the manufacture of gloves by the Messrs. Littauer Brothers, to be used in filling Government'contracts made by Lyon and others, there was any violation of the statute except in one case, the contract of December 7, 189S.“I think the indications of an inter­ est by the manufacturing firm in the jobbers’ eohtract with the Government are sufficient to require me to proceed upon the theory that there is a prima facie case of violation of the statute. “Three duties are therefore de­ volved upon the W ar Department: First, to put the Department of Jus­ tice in possession of the facts, In or­ der that if that department finds the law to have been violated it may take appropriate measures for its enforce­ ment. “Second, to direct the proper officer of the department to demand repay­ ment of any sum of money which has been ‘advanced on the part of the United States In consideration of such contract.’“Third, to determine whether any officer who was concerned in the mak­ ing of the contract was culpable with­ in the true intent of the law.” He adds: “No influences and no motives except a desire to attain the best in­ terests of the Government appear to have operated upon the officers of tho army in the transactions.” “CALAMITY JANE” IS DEAD, W oman W ho Became Fam ons as an In* ilian F ighter. Deadwood, S. D.—The noted female character, Mrs. Martha Burke, generally known as “Calamity Jane,” on the Western frontier since 1870, died at Terry, eight miles from Dead- wood. The woman requested that she be buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, at Deadwood, b.eside “Wild Bill” Hiekok, who was murdered here in 1876. It is said that she had a husband and a married daughter living. From the latter she is reported to have been estranged. Born in Princetown, Mo., she emi­ grated, while still in her teens, to the west, where in time she became a scout. In 1870 she donned male at­ tire, and went out as a scout with Custer in one of his raids. She was a noted shot, and her achievements included the saving of the life of an army captain who had been wounded by an Indian. She first killed the In­ dian. When William Hickok, known as “Wild Bill,” was shot dead in a gambling house In Deadwood she headed the lynching party which caught and killed his slayer. BURGLARS ROB A GOVERNOR. Georgia’s Executive in Fujaiuas Vaiuly CIiased M arauders Tiro Blocks. Atlanta, Ga.—Burglars raided tho Executive Mansion at 3 o’clock a. in., and as a result Gov. Terrell lost three suits of fine clothing, $200 in cash, a gold watch, a $15 Panama hat, an ivory-handled umbrella, five boxes of choice cigars, and several other arti­ cles. Besides he is suffering from a cold caught in chasing the burglars through the streets In the gauziest of pajamas. It was Mrs. Terrell who aroused the Governor by saying there were burglars in the mansion. The Governor arose and found three-men in the hall loaded with Jflunder. He cried “Halt!” but the robbers fled with Terrell in hot pursuit for two blocks, when he was distanced. Re­ turning he missed' the articles men­ tioned. The money stolen practically represents the Governor’s salary for July. ____________________ ^ BiG CHICAGO THUNDERSTORM. XIuree K illed and Seven Injured by Isiglit- B inf or From O tber Causes.

NO TROUBLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, FAM’S HORN BLASTS, RUTH may be eclipsed but It never ceases to shine. Sourness is not solemnity. God’s promises do not depend on our performances. We drop our bau­ bles when we reach to grasp a blessing. It would be hard to ftOnduct family prayers around a case of beer. If the love of God is in your heart they will know it in your home. The woman who will eat cucumbers is sure to talk about her cross. The providence of God is not a sy­ nonym for the indolence of man. The sermon with nothing but sensa­ tion is as bad as a pie with nothing but spice. It is a grave question whether we love God for what He is or for what He has. A deacon’s prayers may be as habit­ual and as meaningless as a team­ ster’s profanity. The man who brags of his past is not likely to have anything to brag of in his future. The star-preacher has no show be­ side the man who reflects the Sun of Righteousness. Humility is one of the materials left out by the self-made man. It is not hard to choose between a dirty saint and a clean sinner.. A man does not escape hell in the fu­ ture by enduring it here. HAS KINC CHARLESi WATCH. Timepiece of Unfortunate Monarch Owned in Philadelphia. After his victory over Charles II. Oliver Cromwell wrote exultantly to England’s parliament telling how the enemy was beaten from hedge to hedge till he was finally driven into Worcester. There were 7,000 prison* ers among the spoils of that sight. The royal carriage in which the Uing had been carried was there, too, and in that handsome carriage was a royal ear- h m I fff/VG CfflfilES I tS WftTCff riage watch, which also fell into tho hands of the victorious Cromwell. After all these years, and through many and varying vicissitudes of for* tune, this royal watch has finally found its way to Philadelphia, remaining In the possession of a loyal subject of the king of England, Edward VH., who is living in the Quaker city. This timepeace of royalty, which still ticks after a career of 262 years, was made In 1640 for King Charles I. by the royal watchmaker of that time. King Charles I. was beheaded two years before his son Charles II. was defeated on and escaped from the field of Worcester. x It is cf the oldest watchmaking pat* tern, being made entirely by hand, and costing in its day a good round sum of money. The case is of solid silver, ornamented In beautiful pierced fill* gree work, and there is an outer case of copper with a handsome leather cover, silver studded. The royal watch runs thirty-six hours with one winding. Only one hand is used in designating the time. There is a silver bell inclosed within the silver case, on which the hours are struck. There is also an alarm at* tachment. The watch is four and one* half inches in diameter, and one and a half inches thick.

The State .board of education has passed upon application for loans for building public school houses in 34 counties, and has allowed 346,286: The result of this will be the erection of 9a new school houses at a total expen­ diture o f; $104,315. Thus the State will get the benefit of this amount of school Property.;Fifty-two of the new schools ouses ara to be built In accordance with the;plans prepared by the State Superintendent and published in his last annual report. Fourteen school houses afe in course of construction, nine are being repaired and enlarged, six will be in accordance with different plans, which, however, have been ap­ proved, while six are held up until plans are agreed upon by the State board and the counties. In eight cases the loan is for the purpose of buying private apademies. It will be seen that the loan ; has greatly stimulated the building of school houses, and that it bas also brought about the erection of improved; buildings, since the average cost is, as will be seen, over $1,000. State News Notes. James Sistare and Verge Snipes, two white boys, 15 years of age, were ar­ rested in' Charlotte Saturday. on a charge of stealing $110 from the father of Sistare, who lives nine miles from IVaxhaw and is a farmer. The money represented years of saving on the part of Mr. Sistare and his daughter. James Sistare and Verge Snipes plotted to take the imoney and go West. Friday morning they stole the $lio and went to Waxhaw, where they purchased two bicycles for $47.25. They went to Char­ lotte, and stopped at the Queen City Hotel, refusing to register. The boys, who spent the night in the police sta­ tion, expressed no regret over their ac­tion. While engaged in putting a new roof on the residence of Mrs. Mary Huntley at Wadesboro Thursday, a carpenter dropped his hammer through the raf­ ters. Go.ing down for the tool, the workman was horrified to find a skele­ ton lying in the attic. The skeleton was apparently that of a white man. Dried flesh still adhered to portions of the bones and there were signs that rats had eaten a part of the body. Fragments of clothing, an old hat, a pair of shoes and a collar button were also found lying around the skeleton. The hat was near the skull and the shoes were just below the feet. The body of Mrs. Dolph Weaver was found dead in a well at her home in Cool Springs, near Statesville, Friday. She was bruised about the neck, indi­ cating that she had been choked to death and then thrown into the well: The coroner’s jury reported that Mrs. Dolph Weaver, had, been outraged. A negro, Wilford Roseboro, is charged ■with the crime. Roseboro has been located in Saluda, and the sheriff has gone after him. Working at her place on an operat­ ing table in the knitting mill at Wash­ ington. Bessie Ipock, a twelve-year- old girl, had her dress wound around the exposed shaft bar that was revolv­ ing swiftly, As soon as the slack of the dress" was wound up, the girl’s body was whirled round and round through the air and her head struck the floor with a sickening thud, killing her instantly. , Grand Secretary Drewry, of the grand lodge of Masons, says that Francis D. VFinston last week raised $2,220 for the Masonic Temple. Of this $570 was raised at Goldsboro, $420 at Enfield, $480 at Smithfield and $485 at Wilson. Windsor lodge has so far contributed more than any lodge outside of Ral­ eigh, it having taken $1,200 of stock. A "charter is granted the Greensboro Supply Company, capital $35,000, to manufacture and.,deal in engines, ma­ chinery, etc.; W. Li. Guthry and others stockholders. As yet the railways have given no indications as to whether they intend to contest the assessment of their prop­ erty by the corporation commission. Of course not a few of the railways are much stirred by the large increase in appraisement. The State charters the Springhope Cotton Oil Company, of Nash county, capital $30,000, B. W. Upchurch and several score of other residents being stockholders. The State grants a charter to the Pamlico & Neuse River Timber Com­ pany, of Newbern, with $125,000 capi­ tal, the stockholders being D. W. Green, D. J. Nusewander and C. H. Mills, all of Toledo, Ohio. The com­ pany will deal in timber and timber lands, operate saw mills and wood­ working plants of any kind. The gold receipts at the local United States assay office in Charlotte during the month of July, were $28,946.18. The corresponding month of last year the i eceipts were $35,313.57. The receipts the past month-amounted to more than the receipts for any, month this year up to date. The increase in. State taxes which the increase in railway assessment will bring about will be about $70,000. Lucette McDonald, a young colored woman, was run'over and killed by the IbifUng-engine in the Southern fi eight yards at Charlotte at 11 o’clock Saturday night. The dead woman was drunk that night and it is presumed (hat she was asleep on the track. She had an unsavory reputation.

Seven of the dead are in the morgue unidentified. Over twenty are more or less seriously injured. Coroner Farrell impanelled a jury, which viewed the remains and adjourned until August 14, when the inquest will be held. Following are the dead: James McCarthy, trainsmaster, Grand Trunk road between Port Hur­ on and Battle Creek; A. W- Large, special officer Grand Trunk, Battle Creek; John Purcell, of Peru, Ind., bqss canvassman; Lafe Larson, of Cambridge, O., six-horse team driver; G. Thomas, residence unknown, mem­ ber of stake and chain gang; Harry St. Clair, residence unknown, reserved seat man; John Leary, of Springfieldj 111., bos of ring stock; Andrew How­ land, of New York State, canvassman; Frank Thorp, of Dundee, Mich., train­ master of circus train; Robert Rice, residence unknown, harness maker; George Smith, residence unknown, blacksmith; James Toffelmire, of Orient, Iowa; Charles Sands, of Peru, Ind., driver; Joe Wilson, of Pittsburg; W. J. McCoy, of Columbus, O., can­ vassman with side ■ show; Edward York, of Terra Haute, Ind.; unknown man, driver of band wagon; unknown man, home said to be Indianapolis, iider in circus races; unknown man, home said to be in Louisville, four- horse driver; unknown man, four- horse driver; unknown man, suffocat­ ed to death. Two unidentified men are dead at the hospital. James s. Foley, of Detroit, special officer of the Grand Trunk, was seri­ ously injured and J. J. Meadows, of Anderson, S. C., was also among the injured. • The circus travels in two trains of about 35 .cars each. After Thursday night’s exhibition at Charlotte, the two trains left for Lapeer over the Grand Trunk road, the second section leaving a half hour after the first. It was 3:45 o’clock when the first section pulled into the west end of the Grand Trunk yards here. A red light was hung on the rear car to stop the sec­ ond section. Engineer Probst, of Bat­ tle Creek, who was running the en­ gine of the rear train, says .he saw this light and applied the air brake. He says it refused to work. He reversed his engine, but the momentum of the hea-;y train behind was loo great and with a crash that aroused all of the town near the yards, the two trains met. Three cars of the stationary first section were telescoped and the engine and five care of the moving train were demolished. The rear car of the first section was a caboose, in which the trainmen were* sleeping, and the next two were filled with sleeping cir­ cus employes. The greatest loss of life was in the caboose. One of the wrecked cars of the second section was occupied by five elephants and several camels.- One of the elephants and two of the camels were killed outright, while the other animals and their trainer escaped. With the exception of this car. none of the menagerie was wrecked, the other demolished cars containing canvass or wagons, and there was comparatively little excite­ ment among the wild animals. As soon as they recovered from the first shock the trainers rushed ainong the cages quieting the few beasts that were excited. The elephants in the wrecked car behaved with surprising calmness and were led out of the wreck without trouble. The escaping steam and screams and cries of those pinned in the wreck made a horrifying spectacle in the gray of the early morning, when the* trainmen in the yards and the aroused townspeople first reached the scene. Many feared at first that some of the menagerie had escaped, as some of the animals could be heard crying. The fire whis­ tle was sounded and the whole town was aroused. The rescuers could sed unfortunates through, the tangled wreckage and went furiously to work without waiting for tools to extricate them. A wrecking crew is kept in the yards here, and it was on the scene in a very few minutes, bringing tools and equipment in plenty.________ General Hiies Retired.

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO TUEPLRNTERf STOCKMAN AND TRUCK GROWER* B erm uda Grass. We get a great many inquiries about Bermuda; one has a rather large stem, or wire and always has purple spots on. the leaves or sheath or both. This is a. good grass, but not desirable because- it does not spread rapidly nor grow up high enough to cut for hay. The real genuine small wire Bermuda is beyond all question the best South­ ern grass. It suits for the widest range of purposes and is the easiest grown and makes the largest yield of the very finest hay. Besides this, it is the most permanent and valuable pas­ ture grass ever known. It has fought its way against all kinds of opposition, and now stands in the front. This grass can be planted any time, but the best season is from April to September. AU through summer it takes root readily and grows off vigor­ ously. It does best sown or- planted alone, but will take root with other crops. In the fall it can be planted with oats or wheat and will do well next spring in the lower latitudes. It is lunch better to plant roots. The seed do not succeed well. To get a good start, plow the land well, run rows two feet and drop roots eighteen inches and cover lightly. For mowing, smooth land with, a roller. Fertilizers pay well on Bermuda. Do not plow up your sod unless you wish to get rid of the Bermuda, but instead of tills run a subsoil plow furrow twelve inches apart and then follow with roller. This should be done about oue.e in four years and April or May is the best time. Do not do this when the clay is wet. One acre of Bermuda well cared for will feed from three to five head of stock through the season. Au ordinary acre of Bermuda will feed a cow one year. Bermuda is, all considered, the best hay. Frost does not injure it mate­ rially. It loses some of the wafer and is not quite so digestible for young stock. As hay it is easily kept, very nutri­ tious and makes a fine yield. Often it is cut three times in a season and gives two tons per acre at each cutting, thus yielding six tons worth $13 to $20 per ton. It stops washes and builds up the soil. The oldest Bermuda field in Georgia, after being turned out as valueless for over forty years, was broken up and planted in cotton. The man was ridiculed for such a foolish undertaking, but he made two bales of cotton per acre and had a good crop of Bennuda hay when he finished pick­ ing. Tliat same field has yielded very large crops of corn and cotton for fifteen years and is still doing it. It has been cleared a hundred years.— Southern Cultivator. A Ten Acre B onltry P lant, The following questions are from a gentleman who contemplates going info the poultry business in a small tray, on a place of about ten acres. He writes as follows: First—How many hens, ducks, etc., ought I to have on the given number of acres? Second-W hat breeds pay best, lay most? Third—W hat crops are best for poul­ try food? Fourth—Will two 360-egg incubators be sufficient for a farm of this size? Answer: First—No success can be attained without proper fencing and separation. An acre, fenced, would contain sixteen yards, 100 by twenty- five feet each. Fifcem fowls is as many as should be assigned to one yard for best results. If placed in the central cross fence where four yards corner, four houses of four compart­ ments each would be sufficient house room. This would yard and house 240 fowls to the acre. Three acres would be as much as one man could attend to, and raise chickens, and it would take a good man at that. Second—The Barred Plymouth Rocks are the most profitable, or at least one of the most valuable varieties—this is the testimony of the great majority of poultry men. Third—Rye and winter turf oats for winter range, potatoes, oats, wheat and corn for general feeding. Fourth—Yes, two 360-egg incubators have enough “incubating” power to flood a ten-acre place with motherless chickens, and keep the owner a hustling to take care of them. The incubator is most valuable in the cold season—No­ vember to April. Chickens do better with hens out in the open in warm weather. We would, say, start in a small ,way at first, with a view to keeping ex­ penses down to a minimum.—Dixie Farmer. Land Agreemen. Pekin, Special.—Edward T. "Wil­ liams, the Chinese secretary of the United States legation, has made an extensive,.investigation into the execu­ tion of Chien Shen, the journalist who was put to death by orders of the Em­ press Dowager, July 31, and has hand­ ed Minister Conger a detailed report proving that the executioners, after beating Chien for three or four hours, despaired of being able to fulfill the Empress Dowager’s orders and yield­ ing to Shen’s pleadings to end his mis­ ery, strangled him with their hands. The Inland W aterway. Norfolk, Special.—The inland water­ way board, consisting of , three army engineers, Col. C. J. Allen, of Wash­ ington; Lieutenant Colonel Quinn, of Savannah, and Captain E. E. Winslow, of Norfolk, met here to consider re­ ports received from Norfolk and other Southern cities, upon the feasibility and advisability of the construction by the United Stateis government of an inland water way between Norfolk and Beaufort, N. C. The board formu­ lated a report to the chief engineer, but nothing regarding the nature of the report was made public. Au. Im portant F oint in Corn Cultivation. Let me give you one absolute rule in regard to the use of the cultivator, weeder or harrow In growing crops. You cannot do this work just when you have the time and get best results. It will not do to simply go over the ground so many times in a season, without regard to when, simply often enough to keep the weeds down. Let me tell you about the when, a matter that has literally brought us thousands of dollars. From start to finish never let the surface dry up after a rain, or rainy spell, and remain unbroken. Stir it always as soon as the land is dry 'enough to work. If it rains again In twenty-four hours, no matter, stir it again. If it doe; not rain, is all dry dust, never mind, stir again inside of a week any wa;-, although you work in a cloud of dust. This stirring makes a mulch that saves water from evapora­ tion—saves it for the crop. Water evaporates rapidly from an unstirred surface when tue sun shines or the wind blows, but very slightly after you have made the surface fine and mellow two inches deep. This is the way to save water for your crop in a dry time. But keeping weeds down an saving water is not all one does by so much work. NoI There is much, inert plant-food in the soil. Ordinary tillage makes a little available. This extra tillage makes more ready for plants and you get larger crops. Larger because you have kept weeds from getting any. Larger because you have saved water for the crop. Larger because it bas been able to get more to grow' on. I hope you all prepared your ground well and have it well supplied with vegetable matter, then this extra care of crop will pay still better.— Southern Cultivator.

L, P., Forest Hill—Will you kindly give me the most approved course of feeding lor liogs to niake the best bacon—not too fat and not too lean? I have always fattened my bogs on cow peas, and from four to six weeks be­ fore killing feed on corn and pure cis­ tern water—no slops or milk. My lard was always beautiful, but my bacon entirely too fat, my bams being nearly all fat. You will confer a great favor by giving the desired information. Your fat bacon comes from exclusive use of corn, which is very fatten in; during the last six weeks of the feed­ ing period. If you have skim milk available and will feed about oue pound of corn to three pounds of milk, you will get a leaner quality of bacon, and one in which the fat and lean will be better intermixed. If you will con­ tinue to feed cow peas and corn, mixed in the proportions of half and hair, with skim milk, or, if this is not availa­ ble, with water, you will also obtain a leaner quality of bacon. The cow pea is rich in protein, which produces muscle; the corn is rich in carbohy­ drates. which produce fat. Tlie com­ bination of the two, in connection with milk, which is also a protein, or muscle building food, should give you about the quality of bacon you desire.—Pro­ fessor A. M.

Feeding Talue cf Iiiffercnt Crops.- It is becoming a generally well known fact among farmers that the leguminous hays are very much more nutritious in protein than the hay from other grasses, said Dr. E. W. Allen, Assistant Director of the office of Experiment Stations, in a recent talk on the value of various feeding stuffs. “The clovers, alfalfa, cow peas, lupines, etc.," contain about twice the amount of digestible protein that hay from the grasses does, As a result (lie manure from the legumes contains much more nitrogen; it is also some­ what richer in potash than that from grasses. The seeds from such legumes as the cow pea and soja bean are ex­ ceedingly rich in protein and can take the place of expensive commercial feeds. “By growing and feeding on the farm more leguminous crops the amount of grain required will diminish, the value of the manure increase, and the soil enrich in fertility. And as the legumes draw about all their nitrogen from the atmosphere, the farm and the farmer, if the -latter plants plenty of them, are sure to be the gainers.” Eight miles from Ashevll e.

Martin, the practical farmer who con- fincts the agricultural department of the Gastonia Gazette: “Gullies on the farm are a woeful sight; They show lack of attention at the proper time. Gullies can be cured with a cedar brush or pine top. Simply throw brush into washout, top end up hill. The limbs will catch and hold sand as it is washed down, and as d? -t covers the brush throw more in Atil the gully becomes level. Thus nature can do a prodigious amount of shoveling. If land had been ditched or terraced ten years ago it would have saved many a gully in our fields now forty feet deep.” A scheme for the establishment of a permanent wireless service between Sweden and Germany is near realiza­ tion.

While this gentle­ man is praising the subordi­ nates for efficiency, we wish'to call his attention to the following facts: Mr. Manu says that F. G. David­ son is efficient, we are informed ihat this man Diividsoa -was so inefficient that he was discharged by the Rail road company in Hit­ ched coiiDty after only one and a halt days work.. Yet* upon his re­ turn to Kaleigii he was reinstated by the Superintendent. We are also informed that this man David­ son was so lacking ia the neccessa- i-y qualifications that it was often Siiid in the penitentiary, that such and such a convict was his (David­ son’s). secretary. Does not Mr. Minn knawthat one of the em­ ployees in central prison had the “Jimmies” for weeks at a time and yet he still holds his position. Eoi ton, another one of Mr. Mann's efficient employees is' not able to sign his name, and has to get some else to make hjs reports. Does this indicate efficientcy? Is it not a fact that a|n ex-convict was appointed as guard by warden J. SI. Fieming about IS months ago over the ap­ plication of John Johnson a re spectable white man? A re convicts regarded by the present managem­ ent more efficient and trustworthy for such positions, tha i men who have never worn the stripes? ttA fellow feeling makes us wonderous kind.” Wealsoask Sapt. J. S. Mann if it is not a fact that he has been keeping a boarding house, and has been supplying his table with milk, blitter and vegetables from the penitentiary garden and dairy! Ifsolias he turued over any ofthe beard money to the prison ;fund, or has he pocketed this money derived in part from the States property? Does Supt. Maon not know that the present Warden is a cruel, and inhuman man, and will he deny that some of the best people m ltaliegh have hot called upon him and made coinplafnts against said Wardehf From information at hand, if the people of North Caro­ lina ' knew the true state of affairs there would not be a white wash made by a one sided partisan committee, as was done last winter Investigate, Investigate our owa prison management right, here In North Carolina.

Humbert, in Court, Promises to Reveal Their Identity, She JDeclares Sbe WlU Tell AU a t tlie £nd of tlic T rial-A Knse to Oain Time* Paris, France.—The trial of the Humbert family on the charges of forgery and swindling in connection with the fictitious Crawford millions, has been drawing large crowds to the Palais de Justice. Mine. Therese Humbert continued to dominate the proceedings, and creat­ ed several scenes when the Court at­ tempted to examine the other mem­ bers of the family. M. Bonnet, the Presidiug Judge, insisted on examin­ ing Frederic Humbert, her husband, but Mme. Therese, rising, said: “I demand to be heard. I am strong to*day, and will explain where the millions are.” Frederic Humbert testified length­ ily regarding the affairs of the Reute Viagere, the insurance concern which the Humberts started and in the crash of which thousands of poor people lost all their savings. He maintained that the operations were conducted In good faith and claimed that public prejudice aroused against the Hum­bert family brought about the failure of the concern. The Judge sought to bring out that Roniain himself impersonated the Crawfords and instituted suits in their name. The defendant denied ever impersonating the Crawfords or writ­ ing the letters signed by the Cran­ fords. Mme. Humbert here made another declamatory statement protesting her complete jqnocence. “I have tried to find the Crawfords aud their millions,” she said. J-tI have not succeeded in finding the money, but I have found the Crawfords. They have made a terrible revelation to me. I have told Maitre Labor! all. He knows the real name of the Craw­fords, for they do not call themselves by the name of Crawford. No one will suffer any loss. I will pay every one. Perhaps the Crawfords may not appear, but they exist It is only their name that does not exist.” The Judge, interrupting her, asked: “Then where are the Crawfords?” “If the Crawfords do not come here I will give their name and that will suffice,” replied Mme. Therese. “I have already told Maitre Labori that when the witnesses have been heard and the hearing is concluded I will tell all.” There was a profound silence in the courtroom during Mme. Humbert’s declaration, but her final words, ngaiu putting off the promised disclosures, aroused derisive laughter. When the Court intimated that the statement was vague, Maitre Labori answered: “But Mme. Humbert engages herself to speak at Ipie close of the hearing.” The Court then began the examina­ tion of the ninety witnesses called, outside the family, which will occupy many days. Mme. Therese’s declara­ tion that the Crawfords actually exist under another name is generally re­ garded as only another of her ruses to. gain time. JUSTIFIES CANNIBALISM." Professor Star Says I t is N ot W rong to E at a SIan W hen H e is Bead.'; Chicago. — According to Professor Frederick E. Starr,, head of the Anthro­ pological Department at the University of Chicago, cannibalism among the savage tribes of Africa, Australia and Greenland is justifiable. This state­ ment was made before his class in the course of a lecture. He explained to his startled audience that he would not justify any one for killing a man for food, but that in Ms opinion it was not wrong to eat him when dead. “The bushmen and pigmies of Africa, the Fuegians and BoIo-Cudos of South America, and the Eskimos of North America,” said he, “are all cannibals. Some eat human flesh from, desire and some from necessity. It is especialy in the case of the !after that I say their cannibalism Ja justifiable. It is a fact that -every known tribe which eats dogs also feeds on human beings. Dog eating and man eating go together. When the Eskimo has no walrus he eats his dog, and when his dogs are gofie he eats his brother, if the brother happens to be a corpse. If he did not cat the human flesh he would starve, or at least go hungry; and I think he is all right in doing as he does.” * Professor Starr further remarked that the finest tribes in Africa are can­ nibals who think that they attain the attributes of the dead relatives or friends by eating them.

Secretary Hitchcock is highly in­ censed over the holding of the sun dance under the direction of Govern­ment officials. He said: “If it is found that any persons, whether in the Government service or not, were instrumental in inciting the Indians to the sun dance torture, they shall be reached and punished if there is a law on the statute books under which it can be done.” China Satisfied W ith A rrangem ents.

Kingston, Jamaica.—The hurricane, of which only the fringe struck the western end of Jamaica, aud which it was thought had passed, instead of proceeding to the northwest, veered to the south and struck Jamaica with its full force, inflicting enormous dam­ age, which it will take years to repair. It is impossible as yet accurately to estimate the amount of the losses, but it is believed to reach $10,000,000, Considering the damage to property the loss of life is comparatively small, though the present estimate now is that the death list will reach fifty. Hundreds of persons were injured and there were numerous hairbreadth es­ capes. port Antonio, on the northeast coast, was completely overwhelmed. Only six houses were left standing there. The United Fm it Company’s wharves, offices, hotel and pJautation3 at Port Antonio were utterly demol­ ished. Five of the company’s steamers, in­ cluding the Simon Dnmois, Alfred Du- raois and Brighton, were driven ashore, but are lying in easy positions. Port Maria, another town on the north coast, suffered similarly. Tiio Norwegian steamer Salvaloredi Giorgio was driven ashore at Annotta Bay, and lies in a dangerous position. Several sailing vessels were wrecked on the north side, and the coast is strewn with the wreckage of local shipping. The entire eastern end of the island has been devastated. Villages Iiavo been wiped out and public buildings and churches demolished. Thousauds of the peasantry, rendered homeless and destitute, are wanderiug about seeking food and shelter. The destruction of the banana plan­ tations has been complete, and the fruit trade is paralyzed for the next twelve months. Hundreds of prosper­ ous fruit growers have been brought to bankruptcy and ruin. The soutliern portion of the island has been completely denuded of its crops, the rivers are flooded, aud many men were carried out to sea and drowned. The western end of the island, which it was at first supposed had escaped, also suffered considerably, though not to the same extent as the eastern end. New banana plantations there were partly destroyed and the orange and coffee crops were also injured. Thousands . of houses in Kingston were damaged, the wharves were bat­tered, and several coasting vessels were sunk in the harbor. The roof of the electric light works was blown off and the machinery was disabled. Rail­ road traffic was interrupted aud the street cars were stopped. Trade here is practicably at a standstill. ToiTential rains have increased the misery of the poor and homeless.

TAFT MAY BE HIS SUCCESSOR Tlie Resignation W ill Tafee Effect W hen­ ever tlie President Sees F it—QIiange is K ot Expected U ntil Congress M eets — Eoot a M emlier of the A laskan Bound­ ary Commission* Washington, D. CL—Before Secretary Root sails for London to sit with the Alaskan Boundary Commission he will place his resignation in the hands of President Roosevelt in order that the President may appoint a Secretary of War if it is deemed necessary dur­ ing Mr. Root’s absence. It is expected, however, that the resignation will not be acted upon until after Congress meets. The appointment of Mr. Root's successor will depend somewhat upon the length of time that Secretary Root will be engaged upon the Alaskan Boundary Commission. Secretary Root’s desire to leave pub­ lic life is based largely on personal grounds. His family does not like the life in Washington, and the Secretary desires also to return to his law prac­ tice in New York City. The great questions that were pending in the AVar Department, relating mainly to the administration of the islands ac­ quired from Spain and the establish­ ment of a government in Cuba, have been disposed of during Secretary Root’s administration. The reorgani­ zation of the army under the general staff plan is now under way, and the Secretary feels that he has accom­ plished the work that he was called on to do when he became Secretary of War. While Secretary Root is in London he will remain in communication with the War Department, and matters pertain­ ing to the General Staff and other im­ portant affairs will be referred to him. If the sittings of the Alaskan Commis­ sion extend beyond December I it is likely that the Secretary’s resignation will be accepted and his successor ap­ pointed at that time, and if the situa­ tion in the War Department becomes such that a Secretary is needed to take charge of affairs, one will be appointed earlier. It is believed here that there will be n great deal of delay in the considera­ tion of the Alaskan boundary case and that the United States Commissioners may be detained in London several months. It is understood that the matter of his successor has been discussed, and, while nothing OfHeinl can be obtained, it is believed that toe position will be tendered to Governor Taft of the Phil­ ippines. Oyster Bay, L. L - I t is understood here that the resignation of Mr. Root will take effect about the 1st of Jan­ uary and that he will be succeeded, unless present plans miscarry, by Judge AVillinm H. Taft, now Governor of the Philippines.For a long time Secretary Root has desired, for pressing private reasons, to retire from the Cabinet. AVhen Mr. Root became President, Secretary Root indicated his wish to leave the Cabinet within a year, but his friendship for the President was so staunch and his interest In pent ing questions before the AVar Department so deep that he was persuaded to remain for a longer period than he had intended. Even now- he h_s not indicated to the President just when he may leave the Cabinet, but he and the President have discussed the subject many times and have a mutual understanding regard­ ing it. It can be said that the !'resi­ dent expects that the country will have the benefit of Secretary Root’s, services yet for several months, certainly until the beginning of the next year.

Easy to Say T hat Zndnstry is Oppressed Becanseof Brotection1B ntN ever Easier to Prove th e Trem endous Advantages, T hat H ave llesulted From It. Alluding to the report that the Presi­ dent and some others have prevailed upon Governor Cummins to abandon “the Iowa idea,” at least until after the next Presidential election, the New York Evening Post says: “It is not to be inferred that ‘the Iowa idea’ has undergone any change, or that Governor Cummins has re-j tracted one jot or tittle of his own previous sayings. Nor can such changes take place while the tariff burdens resting upon Western indus­ try continue to weigh upon it. Peti­ tions from makers of agricultural im­ plements calling for relief from the duties on iron and steel and a great variety of articles which have been monopolized by trusts are now In cir­ culation. They will be presented to Theodore Roosevelt and to the Con­ gress of the United States as soon as the latter comes together in regular or special session. They embody ‘the Iowa idea,’ and they will disturb the harmony of the .party in many places before the delegates are ele&ed to the next national convention.” It is a fault of free-traders, in which class we do not hesitate to include Governor Cummins, because if he had his own way he would destroy our protective policy by radically changing it for the benefit of foreigners and some selfish home interests, that they deal in generalities and carefully omit particulars. The Evening Post illus­ trates this trait in the above’ extract from its columns. What are the “tariff burdens” which now rest upon “West­ ern industry?” In what way is the West now burdened by any of the .schedules of the Dingley tariff? Al! of them, working together, have been powerful factors in creating for this countiy in the six years since tbvy have been In force the most marvel­ ous and most general prosperity that this country has ever known. The West has'abundantly shared in this prosperity. No -Western industry has been oppressed by the Dingley tariff; all Western industries have been helped by it. It is true that some Western and Eastern agricultural implement manu­ facturers, not satisfied with the con­ trol of the magnificent home market for their products which they have long enjoyed, and being themselves free traders, would still further increase their profits by enlarging their foreign markets through reciprocity at the ex­ pense of their own conutrymen who do not make agricultural implements but who do make other things. But these embodiments of the most brazen selfishness that the worlu ever knew can not truthfully say that the Ding- Iey tariff has been a “burden” to them. It lias immensely helped them, and well they know it. But the Dingley tariff has not helped selfish agricultural implement manufac­ turers or other selfish interests in the East or West to close American iron and steel works, or helped them through reciprocity to substitute the wool of the Argentine Republic for that of American farms, or to substitute French gloves and brushes and glass­ ware and otlier French products for the products of oui own factories. All these and simiiai absent features of the Dingley tariff are not “burdens.” As well say that the laws which are Intended to restrain the enemies of society from the commission of crime are “burdens.” In addition to controlling the home market absolutely, and charging for their reapers and mowers and thresh­ ers and plows and cultivators such prices as they care to exact, our ngri cultural implement manufacturers have been steadily extending the foreign market foi their products ever since the DingIey tariff became a law, as the following official figures will show. Our exports of agricultural implements amounted in the calendar year 1902 to $17.9S1,597. against $16,714,308 in 1901, $15,979,909 in 1900, $13,594,524 In 1S99. $9,073,884 in 1898, and $5,302,-. 807 in 1897; to increase these exports more than threefold in five years docs not look as if our agricultural imple­ ment manufacturers had been carrying many “burdens” in theii export trade under the Dingley tariff. We do not believe that the AVest wants the free trade policy of Grover Cleveland, or any policy approximating it, to be substituted for out present protective policy. Under this latter policy it has no “tariff burdens” tb com , plain of—only tariff blessings Io he| thankful for. -Iron and Steel Bulle­ tin. .. - The Fane Froffvatnine. The fact is the sane program of capi­ tal and of labor is embodied in the American protective system—wklgji re­ gards the protection of lnlior as Mie safeguarding of capital and the protec­ tion of capital as the safeguarding o£ labor. Trusts have come to stay, mu tncr abuses have come to go. 11 is loo late in the day for those who “reformed I he tariff” in 1893 and upset American in­ dustry, shouting against trusts as Hw fruit of the tariff, to fool the Amcriean people into the idea that out amazing prosperity ought to he arrested Iiy al­ lowing promoters to assess consumers and by inaugurating “tariff reform” dominated not by the homo market Imt by the imported considerations which from 1S93 to 1897 showed how easy if' is to sacrifice domestic customers to foreign trade, and then mislay both.™ Boston Journal. Coniiinier air! Producer. SecrelaiT Shaw: “Tlie employer of labor is liotli a consumer and a pro- ducer, and therefore may he appealed to from either standpoint.

Manufactured by thef 1RO-N Vi ORKS.Winston-iSalem^.C.i Curious Manner In Which an African Settlement Received its Name. John Moir built a commodious resi­ dence a number of years ago on the iJutskirts of Blantyre in the Shire high lands south of Lake Nyassa. He is the agent of the African Lakes company, which has a number of steamers on Lake Nyassa, and has proved that it is possible to build up a prosperous business in inner Africa without selling spirits or firewater to the natives. Mr. Moir wears spectacles, and the natives call him Mandala, which means glass. Wheu he erected his house they also applied the name j Mandala to the building. There Mr. Moir developed a settle­ ment around his private property, all devoted to the interests of the com­ pany he represents. There are store­ houses for ivory and other things bought from the tribes. Trade goods as they arrive from Europe are also stored here till they are sent up the lake. The place has become a very thriving settlement with several hun­ dred population. It did not lack a name for a single day because the natives at once named it when the first storehouse was erect­ ed. They simply made the name Mandala embrace all the town; and now on all good maps we see a little dot and the word Mandala standing for the most thriving and important suburb of Blarityre. The fame of Mandala is known to all who are interested in Africa's progress, and the name it bears was given to it simply because the founder of the town wears spectacles.—New York Sun. So. 3 3 .

S ssssa s« i5 s* » ss* sg iijiiisss$ sH Strong Case Against Goodwin. Raleigh, Special.—The case of State against Henry Goodwin, a 57-year-old white farmer, charged with assaulting a 14-year-old white girl, Flossie Pleas­ ants, In his employ, was re-opened here Tuesday afternoon. Goodwin was last Friday committed to jail without bail privileges. The State contended that the justice who heard the case had no right to re-hear after judgment was rendered. The justice said it was not a rehearing, but a re-opening. The defense had two physicians sworn in as experts to examine the girl, but the State at first objected and no exami­ nation was then made, but the doctors were questioned as experts. The State then introduced as a witness a woman living near the home of the Pleasants girl, and her evidence as to the affair was very strong against Goodwin. The attorneys for the defense insisted that the State was afraid to have the girl examined. The attorney for the State asked immediately if the defense real­ ly desired this examination. The de­ fense said yes. The examination was then made by physicians and their evidence showed the conditions to be as represented by the State. Goodwin was recommitted to jail without bail. Wreck on Southern. Tryon, Special.—A through freight train, the third section of No. 62, from Asheville to Spartanburg, S. C., ran away on Saluda Mountain at 2:15 p. m., Tuesday. The engine and 13 coal ears were wrecked near Melrose, the exact place where Engineer Tnns- taii's train was wrecked several years ago. The engine and 11 cars are total wreck, piled up and demolished in the cut. Engineer J. H. Averill, Jr., of Asheville, and Fireman Hair, of Asheville, are killed, and are under the wreckage and cannot he found un­ til the wreck is cleared away. Brake- man W. B. Sherrill, of Swananoa, has both legs cut off. Engineer Averill was a bright young man, 23 years of age, a son of Colonel J. H. Averill, of Charleston. His father, mother, wife and two little children, brother and sisters, are spending the summer at Saluda, within three miles of where he met his un­ timely death. He stayed on his en­ gine with the faithful fireman, doing all he could to check the speed of the train until the engine buried him. As the runaway train passed Melrose, the operatox-, J. W. Heatherly ran out and Fireman Hair threw up his hands and smiled .Heatherly 'fainted. Conductor Howie and Flagmen Bishop and Ward were unhurt. Fifteen Escape. Washington, N. C., Special.—Fifteen prisoners in the Beaufort county jail escaped before daybreak Friday morn­ ing. Two of the men are alleged mur­ derers and one is a Fedei’al prisoner, all the other being charged with minor offences. The sheriff immediately of- fei-ed rewards for them. The escape was made through a small hole in the back of the building, where five brick had been removed. The jail was virtually in charge of a negro attendant who waits on the prisoners and he failed to lock up the men. There is evidence of cut- pable negligence and an investigation will probably be made. One of ‘ the prisoners came and gave himself up. All are negroes. North State Notes.

The company is given authority to deal In lumber and timber, operate saw-mills, etc. The Southern Beil Telephone Com­ pany began Tuesday the work that will result in the placing of all its wires in Charlotte underground. W. W. Goldsmith, Jr., a flagman on the Southern Railway, was knocked from the top of a caboose Monday night, by coming in contact with a standpipe at Statesville. Fortunately, his injuries are not very serious, being confined to a badly bruised leg. The injured man was taken to Old Fort on passenger train No. 35, and was given proper attention. He was resting well at last account and will probably be entirely recovered within a few days. Last Friday MiIas Cedric, an em­ ploye at J. A. Basinger’s saw mill, in Morgan township, Rowan county, was striick in the abdomen by a board on the planer and died Monday as the re­ sult of his injuries. The remains were taken to the former home of the deceased, in Davidson county, accom­ panied by his wife and five children. Mr. Nicholas Slattery, of Flat Rock, has been appointed chief clerk in the Southern Railway passenger ,offices In Richmond, which is a decided promo­ tion. Mr. Slattery has been with seve­ ral railroads, his good work having at­ tracted wide attention. Mr. -Elijah Pope, 80-odd years old, died suddenly of heart disease Friday afternoon, on his farm in Shiloh town­ ship, Camden county. There were sev­ eral others,in the field with him. He went to a spring to get a drink of water and while there dropped dead. Seven children survive him. An excursion from Taylorsville en route to Charleston, S. C., passed through Charlotte Thursday morning at 10:30 o’clock. While the crowd was at the Southern depot, Officers Sikes and Ayers arrested Calton Younger, a 17-year-old young man of Statesville, on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, He could not put up the re­ quired bond and was locked up. Some one In Durham turned in a false fire alarm Sunday night, and the city authorities have offered a reward of $25 for sufficient evidence to convict the one who did it. . THE PRIZE FIGHT. Jeffries W hips Corbett Easily at San Francisco. Mechanics’ Pavilion, San Francisco, Special.—James J. Jeffrieb1 champion heavyweight of the world, played-with Jim Corbett for nine rounds and a half, and then Corbett’s seconds mo­ tioned to Referee Graney to stop the fight In order to save their man from needless punishment. The end came ahortly after the beginning of the ninth round when Jeffries planted one of his terrific left swings on Jim’u stomach. The man.who conquered JohC L. Sullivan dropped to the floor in agony, and the memorable scene at Carson City was again enacted, when Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar plexus blow. This time, however, Cor­ bett struggled to his feet and again faced his giant adversary. With hardly a moment’s hesitation Jeffries swung his right and again landed on Cerbett’s stomacr. He dropped to the floor, and then it was that Tommy Ryan, seeing that it was all over, motioned to the referee to stop the punishment. The Typographical Union. Washington, Special.—An important proposition coming frpm the commit­ tee on laws, which was adopted by the International Typographical Union, was that which permits subordinate unions to incorporate- in exceptional cases. The union took up the Los Angeles Times case and voted for a referendum on the question of an assessment fpr funds to unionism The Times office. A statement was read from General Otis, of The Times, saying that the of­ fice was by choice a fraternal office, that high wages were paid and no sur­ render would be made. Delegate Hayh, of Los Angeles, told of the union’s course and expressed hope of ultimate success. In the Spokane and SeatUe cases, in which President Lynch is charged by Commissioner Driscoll with a violation of the arbitration agreement, the com­ mittee on arbitration reported an en­ dorsement of President Lynch and the executive council ,and accused cue pub­ lishers of precipitating the trouble by a display of bad faith. The report says the Union constitution cannot he arbi­ trated, hut asserts a belief in arbitra­ tion where the parties approach the question in a fair and conciliatory manner. The woman’s auxiliary elected Mrs. Frank L. Kennedy, of Omaha, presi­ dent and Mrs. C. C. Houston, of Atlan­ ta, one of the vice presidents. The convention adopted a special or­ ganizer to visit several towns In the South to organize new unions and to visit established unions for the pur­ pose of strengthening the same. The convention adopted the proposition to organize newspaper writers and au­ thorize expenditures of the necessary funds therefore. The death benefit was increased to $70. Jett and W hite Convicted. Cynthiana, Ky., Special.—The jury in the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, charged with the assassinaton of James B. Marcum at Jackson, Ky., ieturned a verdict of guilty, fixing the punishment of each at life imprison­ ment. The verdict was returned at a time when there were but few. persons •in the court room. The only attorney present was County Attorney Web­ ster. Jett received the verdict with comparative indifference and calmness, White who has beenapparently under a severe strain duringthe trial, flushed up and bis eyes filled with tears. The ver­ dict occasioned little surprise. The only question which caused the delay, it is said, was whether to make the punish­ ment death or life imprisonment. Yellow Fever. Laredo, Tex., Special.—Dr. H. J. Hamilton, United States hospital sur­ geon, has completed his investigation of the reported cases of yellow fever at Monterey, Mex., and has notified the Washington authorities that there is not a case of yellow fever there or in surrounding towns. riayflow er Ashore, Norfolk, Special.—Reports from Elizabeth City, N. C., are to the effect that the steamer Mayflower is ashore in North Carolina waters and will probably prove a total loss. The May­ flower struck on a bar at Wade’s Point, in Albemarle Sound, about' 18 miles south of Elizabeth City. The Mayflower is a small river craft and was lumber laden. Eight Killed. Chattanooga, Special-The death list resulting from the head-end collision between two freight trains on the Cin­ cinnati Southern Railroad Saturday night near Cumberland Falls, has grown to eight, five men having died since Sunday night. Among the dead is Engineer T. & Duke, of Salisbury. Convict Bill Passed. Atlanta, Ga., Special.—The House of Representatives of the State Legisla­ ture passed the convict bill, as amend­ ed by the Senate, providing for the employment of all five-year felony con­ victs on the public roads. Each county may work its pro-rata number of con­ victs. Killing of Chinese Seoul, By Cable.—An agreement has practically been concluded between Russia and Corea, whereby Russia ac­ quires 200 acres of land at Uongampho, on the Yalu river, on a 99-year lease. The application of M. Payloff, the Russian minister, for permission to erect telegraph and telephone lines to Yongampho has been refuded.iThe ex­ tension to the northward of the Seoul- Wiju Railway is progressing.

Loss, $50,-. 000; partial. insurance. What Shakespeaire Meant. She laid the book aside an4 pressed her hand to her forehead. “What’s the matter?” he asked tenderly. “I’ve been reading an annotated edi. tion of Shakespeare,” she replied wearily. “Wonderful man,” he commented. ’Wonderful,” she exclaimed. “I should say he was more- than that. We've taken up his works in our liter­ ary society.” “Some of the passages, are very subtle,” he remarked. “There’s a world of thought back of them.” . “I should think there was!” she ex­ claimed. “I’ve been studying one of those passages. I began with ‘Ham­ let,’ and I've read all of one act, In­ cluding the notes. I’ve also read two essays on it, three reviews and three criticisms of the play as produced.” “You must understand it pretty thor­ oughly,” he said. She shook her head despondently. “A careful and painstaking study oi the one passage to which I have given the^most attention,’” she explained, “convinces m e' that Shakespeare meant—let me see! one annotated edi. tion, two essays, three reviews and three criticisms—nine altogether. I find that he meant nine separate and distinct thingB by it, and I’ve been wondering how many things he had In mind when he wrote any one sent-. enc» In the play.” She stopped, passed her hand over her forehead and said: “George, what did he mean?” ' “Perhaps,” he replied, thoughtfully( “he meant just what he wrote. It's a bare possibility, you know, although people do not seem disposed to con­ cede it.”—Brooklyn Eagle. Things That Never Die.The pure, the bright, the beautiful,That stirred our hearts In youth.The impulses of wordless prayer.The dreams of love and truth;The longings after something lost.The spirit’s yearning cry,The striving after better hopes—These things can never die. The timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother In his need,A kindly word In grief’s dark hour That proves a friend indeed;The plea for mercy softly breathed, When justice . threatens nigh;The sorrow of a contrite heart—These things shall never die. J The memory of a clasping hand, The pressure of a kiss. And all the trifles, sweet and frail, That make up love's first bliss;If with a firm, unchanging faith.And holy trust and high.Those hands have clasped, those lip: have met—These things shall never die. The cruel and the bitter word.That wounded as it fell;The chilling want of sympathy We feel but never tell; The hard repulse that chills the heart, Whose hopes were bounding high, In an unfading record kept— These things shall never die. Let nothing pass, for every hand Must find some work to do; Lose not a chance to waken love— Be firm and just and true. Sd shall light that can not fade Beam on thee from on high, And angel voices say to thee— These things shall never die. —Charles Dickens. The Genius of Hospitality. Mrs. Craigie (John Oliver Hobbs), declares that “tbe genius of hospital­ ity is not so much in making people meet, but in helping them to part.— on good terms ” As long as Brazil continues to grow 15,000,000 bags of coffee, which was nearly the amount of her last year’3 product, and about the estimated amount of the world’s consumption, there is no probabality that coffee will advance in price. D. S. SENATOR FROM SOOTH CAROLINA Hecom m ends Pe«ru=na ForDyspepsia and Stomach Trouble Ex-Senator id. C. Butler. If you do not derive prompt and satisfac­tory results from the use of Peruua. write at once to Dr. Hartmant giving a full state­ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartmant President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. Catarrh of the Stomach is Gmsrally Called Dyspepsia-Som sthing to Produce Artifioial Diges­ tion is Generally Takei. Hence, PepVn, Pancreatin and a Host .ot Other Digestive Remedies Have Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach tha Seat of the Difficulty, Which . is Really Catarrii. E X. U. B. Senator M. C. Butler, from South Carolina, was Senator from that State for two terms. In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washing­ton, D. C-, says: tiI can recommend JPcrum fo r dyspepsia and stomach trouble, I have been using your m edicine for a short period and I feel very muoh relieved . It is Indeed a w onderful medicine besides a good tonfc M, C. Sutler, The only rational way to cure dyspepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peiuna cures on* tarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrn and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods.Peruna has cured more cases of dyspep­sia than all other remedies combined, sim­ply because it cures catarrh wherever lo­cated. If catarrh is located in the head. Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Pe* runa cures it. When catarrh becomes set­ tled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, aa well in this location as in any other.Peruna is not simply a remedy for dys­ pepsia. Perana is a catarrh remedy. Pe- runa cures dyspepsia because it is gener­ally dependent upon catarrh. ........... nINCHtSfjCH TAKE DOWN REPEATING SHOTGUNS A Winchester Take-Down Repeating Shotgun, with a strong shooting, fall choked barrel, suitable for trap or duck shooting, and an extra interchangeable modified choke or cylinder bore barrel, for field shoot­ ing, lists at oniy $42.00.

Scratching a living here and there, killing thousands of hugs and worms which would cause- much loss of crops if allowed to live, the ordinary barn­ yard hen is a wonderful combination of productive forces. In five years’ time she will lay 700 eggs, each contain­ ing 650 grains of water, 125 of fat, 108 of lime, SO of albumen. 26 of sugar and 10 of ash—the most condensed and strengthening form of food offered to man. Every person having a little, plot of ground, is able to keep from.' half a dozen to many dozen of these wonders and so add to the family in­ come. To do this to the greatest ad­ vantage, one must know how to care for his fowls—to guard against, de­ tect and cure disease1; which fowls to save for breeding purposes, etc. The simplest and most satisfactory way of securing this knowledge is to buy it from some person who has made a success of fowl raising as a business. Such a book, giving the experience of twenty-five years, is obtainable for 25 cents in stamps from the Book Pub­ lishing House, 134 Leonard St., New York City. It is on invaluable work.

THE BESIG a EU FGJB SEPT. The early’ autumn number of the Designer is in many respects the most remarkable issue of this pop­ ular magazine for women that has ever appeared. Thh art work is of an nimsiiaiiy high OiNjgr, and the ariioles are brimful of entertain Weut and helpfulness. Fashions and millinery for autumn are tastefully set forth,and “Miliinery Lessons” and “Points on Dress­ making” assist the amateur to attainexcclient remits in both. Every woman who wants to make money or who is interested amateur photography should read “How a Camera Raised a Mort­ gage,” iin actual incident charm­ ingly’ related by" Aiinie Donnelly, aud illustrated from, photographs by the author. “Artistic Table Arrangement,” by a well-kuow’n writer, Waldon Fawcett, accom­ panied by handsome halftones showing the table spread with the c :rrect appurtenances for the va­ rious meals, w ill be highly appre­ ciated by the young housekeeper, and will incidcntiy furnish hints to those who are at a loss what to give in the silver line to jjrospee- tive brides. “Punched Metal W oik,” Uisiila Cannes, will set every one searching for materials with which to do this most Jasi- nating work, which can be turned to good account at Christmas time, or indeed at- any season, if one wants to decorate the home or to make pocket mosey. A most novel departure is the appearance in this nnmber of the initial article of Fashion Notes tor Men,” which is taktugiy illustrated, and 'sup plies thoroughly up-to-date items oi' the masculine toilet. No wo­ man who reads The Designei- will, ifter this, wonder what she cun giveJhrother, sweetheart, husband or son, nor will the man himself, even if lie li ves miles away tr-mi a metropolis, be Jorced to 1ook.“ be­ hind the times” because he does not know whsi is in good taste. Fashion notes for women are given in “ Womans Fads and Faueiesi' aud “ Fashions and Fabrics,” both of which describe aud picture what is displayed In the most ex­ clusive shops. • I here are two ex­ cellent shoit Stoi ies in this num­ ber, also a laugkiible Jarce,' ‘ The Campers,” which is suitable for amateur production, while -1FIre- piacei andj Manteipieees,” by Mary Kilsyth, will be valued by the home bu.lder.

Wiswall of Rockland, Me. in passiugsenten- enee the other day on a prohibition case declared that it was the pur­ pose of the court to enforce the pro - hibition law, “While the sentences imposed this term for offenses com- mited before the first day of April” said he “will be a line only in ease ot persistant violators against the law, if they contiuue to sell liquor in violation of law after this time hereafter the sentence not only by me but I think I can say if they come before any justice of the court will be imprisoment and fine. It is not to be the pbw hereafter for pereons to continue to commit often ces and when complained against or indicted to come up aud pay a fine and continue in the business.” IIere is a confession that the prohibition law ,in Maine has not been enforced. Indeed, a year or to ago a judge declared from the benclr that the prohibition law was rather regulative than prohibitive- It ap­ pealed that in a number of cases raeu had been permitted to go a head aud sell whiskey iu violation of the law but. were yanked up every now and theu aud fiued, the fines amounting in the aggregate to about what a license would c03t. This is to us one of the mo3ts3rioa3 phases of the prohibition question Some of the prohibitionists of Maine were willing to let the law be defied and vliolated if only they could appeased tbeir conscience with consolation that they had vot­ ed against the sale of ardent spirits They seemed to think that it was more righteous to have whistey sold - iu defiance of the law thau with sanetion of the law. The law was a sham pretense bn.it was the law and the Prohibitionists fell that tliejr had doue their duty iu making the Law and keeping it on the books, whether it was enforced or not. There are prohibitionists of the sape sort out side ot the State of Maine and its not for us to"say that I they are insincere, but we do say I that they are mistaken. The quest— ioia sf prime consideration inagov ermnec like ours is th e eu forcemeul of the law. Th e lawthculdbeeuforc ed and upheld in such a way as to make men respect it. • •' fWe. fully recognize the fact that there is a strong sentiment in the Stj te of Virginia iu favor of plrohi bilioa. Itis stronger to-dayjthan evjir before and under the operation of-he Maun law io the rural districts aijd the operation ofthe localoptiou law iu m my towns an I citie30f the State, prohibition will be enforced in! this Stateiu thenext year or two as never before in our k istory. Let Virginia therefore learn a lessoa frbm Maine; Let no; see to it that w|ierever.prohibition exists the law Ii1I rigidly enforced and that men be ntade to obey it. Let the officers of thjela w be on the alert to apprehend those who violate the law and. let tlje court deal with all such infract lops as the law directs. Let us rem- eijiber that prohibition is one thing ai|d a prohibition law another. Men arc disagreed as to whether or uqt the prohibition of the liquor trjaffie is right but there can be no two opinions as to the righteousness oil enforcing a law ,vhich bus been dily enacted. It is the bouuded duty of officers to see that the law isj upheld aud eiifocred in all inst aiices and the law against the kIc of liquor should be enforced as rJjgdily as the Jawagainstgaiubling theft or any other thing that is pjohibited. ■ \l|e are not making a plea for pro­ hibition but for the law which is I toj our mind is of far more consequ­ ence. If it is to be determined by one community or another that the prohibition law is wrong or unsatisfactory let it be repealed but so long asitis a law it must be enfoced or we shall be un' true to OiUaslV83 and uutr.ie to 1Le government waich we are sit orn to support.—Eichmond Dispatch.

You must keep your mou­ th shut or the thunder of their Prosperity in the East. The BaleigU Morning Post takes up Oin- article in last issue about the prosperity- in eastern North Carolina aud argues that tile pros­ perity is due to the Democratic supremacy in that section. -Gooii- ness, Mr. Post; who ever 'heard of the Democrats bringing prosperity to anything except Coxy armies and soup houses! If Democracy' is the cause of good times in Eastern North Carolina" why don’t - they have hard times in West Virginia Ohio and elsewhere where the Re­ publicans are in the majority'? It’s a poor rule that wont work both ways, you know. Aud why don’t they have the same prosperity in Mississippi aud South Carolina and other Demoeratic strongholds that they have iu eastern North Caro­ lina? If Democracy is the cause of prosperity in the east please ex­ plain to us the cause for the mira­ culous growth of the Bfpublican party iu that section. Do yon charge those people of forsaking the party that is giving them pros­ perity? Yonr argument wont do, Mister Post. Theprosperity there is only a part of the general prosperity of the countrv, which is caused by the protective tariff aud other Eepublican policies The products of eastern North Carolina are most­ ly shipped out of the State. The . demand prompts the ProdiictionjPeoF t' arc "Bh you. and any fojl knows that the de­ mand is caused Dy the geeeral ac­ tivity in industry' and trade.

C„ Special—Thursday evening between 7 and 8 o’clock the dead body of Mary Jenkins, 13 years old, was found in the stable of Cap­ tain Griffin, her grandfather. Her throat was cut from ear to ear and the body was tied up in a bag. The girl's grandmother had been looking for* her and on going to the stable found it locked. She put Mary’s little sfjster through an opening in the door and; the girl stumbled over the body in the bag. A negro who is employed at the hotel and also by Captain Griffin, is suspect­ ed of the crime. When searched, hejwas found to have the keys of the stable in his pocket, a bloody knife and blood on his hands and his clothes. He was put under guard of a large number of citizens, as well as deputies and con­ stables, awaiting the arrival of blood­ hounds from Weldon, to be used to track him from the stable. The whole town was thoroughly aroused, and crowds of men have come in from Wel­ don armed with rifles. A crowd gather­ ed, and, securing the negro, hanjged him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. The negro, after the noose had been placed around his heck, confessed to the murder of the child, and to hav­ ing assaulted her. The crowd made no attempt at concealment and dispersed without any further disorder. North StateNews. Postmaster Rollins, of Ashev|lle says that the mountains are filled with people from the South, who are there to spend the hot season. Not only is this fact indicated by the amount of mail handled, said Maj Rollins, but it is confirmed by the agents of the Postoffice Department. Free Delivery Inspector Roberts, who has visited not only most of the towns in the western part of the State, but many of the rural districts as well, says that even the farm houses in some localities are filled to the doors with visitors. He says he saw one house in the Mills River section wnere there were about 40 people, and it did not look as though the house had been built to accommodate more than half this number. A postoffice inspector has been or­ dered to Rocky Mount to make an of* ficial investigation of the employ* ment of four members of Postmaster Robbins’ family in the local office there. While it has been decided that only two members of the Robins family can continue in subordinate positions in the office, no official ac­ tion will be taken until the report of the inspector is forthcoming F*rst As­ sistant Postmaster General Wynne has been handling the Robbins case b Postmaster General Payne himself is interested in the family arangements at that place, and no action will be taken without consultation with bhp.

When Sergeant Far­ rington arrested Davis, he had the gun up his sleeve with the point of the barrel in his hand. The officer thought Davis was making ready to fire io he called to him to put down his weapon or he would club him. This brought Davis to his sense and he handed over . the gun to the officer who escorted the negro to the lock-up. A somewhat singular state ot anairs has arisen at Marshall, where Judge Jones is holding court. A prisoner contracted a contageous disease and as a consequence the jail has been quar­antined. It will be necessary to ad­ journ court in a day or so, as only the bond cases can be reached. Among -the important cases that must go over are two in which the defendants are charged with murder, for, in the lan­ guage of a court officer, it is impos­ sible to mete out justice to men who are shielded by quarantine regulations, ‘"Tile fact oecame Known in * aur ville Tuesday that Otis M.

Oood Rains and Hoderate Tempera­ tures the Past Week, Showers were very frequent during the past week, and most sections of the State have now received abundant precipitation, except a few western counties, notably Davidson and Iredell, where the drought has been of longest duration and most injurious to crops. The rainfall was very beneficial, ex­ cept in the eastern section where the large amount received was injurious to crops, especially lowland corn and cot­ ton. In the east there were showers every day this week, also some local heavy rains with high winds and hail with damage to corn and fodder. The soil, is now thoroughly wet in most sections and In excellent condition for fall plowing. The abundance of cloudy weather kept the temperature moder­ ate during most of the week, though the average for the State was slightly above.normal and favorable; maxi­ mum temperatures above 90 degrees occurred on several dates In the cen­ tral-west. Crops have continued to im­ prove in all except the immediate coasts districts, where grass is mak­ ing too much headway, and they need cleaning again. In consequence of the excessive sup­ ply of moisture in the east a large number of crop correspondents report that cotton is shedding rapidly, but this is not taking place to any great extent elsewhere in the State; the same condition has also caused plants to make too much weed; a little dam­ age by red rust and spider is occuring in a few localities; late cotton blooming nicely, bolls are filling well, and somo early cotton is open in the southern counties. Corn in bottom lands In the eastern district suffered from too much water; frequent rains also prevented saving fodder properly; but the precipitation generally was highly favorable practically making the crop; eprs are filling well; early corn will be short, but late corn is considered extra fine in many counties. Tobacco that was fired by the drought, has been imrroved by rain; curing continues with fairly good results, but short yield. A large crop of turnips has been seeded and they are coming up nicely. Peanuts and sweet potatoes are making perhaps too much vine in some sections, but generally are excellent. The crop of fall Irish potatoes will be large. Pastures and meadows have greatly improved; sowing crimson clo­ ver is underway. Peaches and apples are rotting considerably owing to the spread of fungus diseases by wet weather.Rain reported: Goldsboro, 1,72 Greensboro, 2.72; Lumberton, 0.52 Newbern, 4.78; Weldon, 3.10; Wilming­ ton, 5.10; Hatteras, 3.40; Charlotte, 1.30; Asheville, 1.30; Raleigh, 1.74 Liberty, 2.91; Morganton, 1.15. North Carolina Notes. None of the officials have as yei heard any tidings of Tom Dewey, the absconding Newbem cashier. He wrote Governor Aycock from New York, the letter having been re­ ceived August 3rd, two day3 after .the flight. In this letter he tendered his resignation as a director of the At­ lantic and North Carolina Railway, but said nothing as to his flight or crime. Governor Aycock remarked today that it is only a question of time when Dewey will be apprehend­ ed, adding that he would be paught if he were anywhere In the civilized world. A lawyer said here the other day that if Dewey had been an officer of the national bank there would be no trouble in getting him extradited from Canada, but that this could hardly be done because he was an oflicer of the State bank. Governor Aycock said there was nothing In thi; statement and that he could be brought back from anywhere if lie were caught, as there were plenty of charges against him besides simple embezzlement-The committee of T. B. Parker and C. H. P oe,'representing the State Farmers’ Alliance called on the Governor today regarding the Alli­ ance resolutions, urging him to co­ operate with the Governors of Virgin­ ia and South Carolina in asking Pres­ ident Roosevelt to enforce against the American tobacco Company any exist- ing law_ against trusts. The Governor said he' was giving this matter- special attention and before acting desired all possible Information. The State Board of Education met today and formerly accepted "Agri­ culture for Beginners,” the admirable text book for common schools pre­ pared by Profs. Burkett, Stevens and Hill, of the Agricultural and Mechani­ cal College here, having found that it fully comes up to all requirements. A circular letter will be sent tomor­ row by State Superinfedent Joyner to all the county superintendents, an­nouncing its adoption. Governor .Ay- cocke said: "I have read this: book carefully and when I finished it _ I wanted more information on every subject it treats of. - This is evidence of its m erit’’ The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is informed that the town of Wallace, Duplin conuty, has voted a local tax for public schools. John E. Ray, principal of the State School for the Blind, has returned from a trip in Lincoln county, and reports to State Superintendent Joy­ ner that he is greatly pleased with the educational facilities there? the good school houses, the public inter­ est, the high tone of the people etc. He says he saw a region there which in fertility and general appearance reminded him of. Kentucky’s blue grass section. Sunday night as passenger train No. .->4 was goin into the yard at -Hamiet, and while -it was still running, at a very high rate of speed, a negro, who is said to be Will Parker, jumped off, his head striking a crosstie. It was thought that he could not live, as his skull was badly fractured. The only excuse that is given for his act is that he feared arrest at Hamlet. , The growth of the .crops during the past week has been notable, the weather having' been exactly favora­ ble for it.

BAD WEATBER AND LITTLE WIND. Immense Crowd of Spectators and Yachts W itness the Vain Endeavor to Pull Off the Race. New York, Special—One of the big­ gest crowds of sight-seers and yachts ever seen here sailed down the bay to witness the cup hunter’s attempt to wrest from America the yachting su­ premacy of the world, returning to New York disappointed because the sea had refused a field of combat to the racers, but, nevertheless, jubilant in the conviction that Sir Thomas Lipton’s latest challenger, like the two Shamrocks which had preceded her, was doomed to return to England empty-handed. Of course the race Friday was not absolutely conclusive owing to the light and shifting char­ acter of the airs, but in a 15-mile beat to windward, a portion of which was sailed in a driving rain, the cup de­ fender Reliance showed her heels to Shamrock III in commanding style, and in weather conditions which were supposed to be to the particular liking of the challenger. Fife’s latest Creai tion has been heralded as a veritable wizard in light breezes, in windward work, especially with a jumpy sea on, while the Reliance, in her trials, had demonstrated best reaching and run­ ning in a whole sail wind. Yet with a breeze from one to twelve knots, and against a long ground swell the de­ fender outfooted and outpointed her. The Shamrock did not turn the outer mark, and there is therefore no ways of knowing absolutely how badly she was beaten, but it was estimated that she was move than a mile astern, or about 16 minutes in the existing strength of the wind when the Re­ liance rounded. The day was a miserable one for those who went down to the ocean course off Sandy Hook. A mist lay over the city and the bay in the morn, ing and when the great fleet of ex­ cursion steamers, steam yachts, tugs and sailing vessels, reached the start­ ing line where the big single stickers were already jockeying for a position, black, threatening clouds were gather­ ing over the Jersey highlands. The dark water reflected no shadow and the mist all about shortened the obser­ vation. The breeze was not over six knots and the murky waves spilled no white froth from their crests. The course was set 15 miles south­ west, straight flown the Jersey coast and return. At the start -Captain Barr cleverly outgeneralled Captain Wringe, sending the Reliance over thei line 33 seconds behind the challenger, but in the windward berth. In the first 20 minutes of sailing the defended showed her windward qualities, draw­ ing up on even terms with the chal­ lenger, besides being about 300 yards to windward. Then the storm broke and for 30 minutes the, rain came flown in torrents, the wind increasing to 12 knots. When the storm had passed the de­ fender was seen to be firmly establish­ ed on the weather bow of Shamrock III and she was never afterward head­ ed. The work of the patrol fleet was per­ fect. Moving at right angles, line ahead and line abreast, the revenue cutters kept the yachts in the hollow of a moving angle, as free from inter- ference as if they had been sailing in midocean. Under the rules of the first race, 15 miles to leeward and windward and re­ turn, was postponed until Saturday. He Did Not Remember. When Empire William of Germany was staying with Lord Lonsdale, a fellow guest, talking to another across the table, quoted a line from Shakes­ peare, adding the words “as the di­ vine William said.” The Emperor heard the quotation, and, turning to his host, said, with a puzzled look: Curiously enough, I do not remember that my sainted grandfather ever said that.” !

Curious relies of the past, when sane and sound Americanism charac­ terized the columns of a newspaper which in recent years has turned much of its talents and energies In a con­ trary direction, are found in the files- of the Springfield Republican of nearly fifty years ago. In -the edition of that paper of the date of January 12, 1855, appears an editorial on “The Tariff,” which shows the then editor, Samuel Bowles, senior, as one of the ablest and clearest sighted protectionists of that period. No one has ever presented more effective argument in favor of the policy which looks after our own country and our own people and leaves foreigners to look after themselves than is contained in this urgent appeal to Congress to lose no time in enacting strictly protective tariff. Business conditions in 1855 were similar to those which prevailed forty years later under a Democratic free trade tariff. Franklin Pierce, a New England free trader, was President of the United States. Free trade was the order of the day, and the customary free trade conditions prevailed. With a tariff for revenue only in full force, revenue was falling off at the rate of $2,000,000 a month. Said the Springfield Republi­ can of that period: Away with merely revenue tariffs! They are destroying American inde­ pendence. They are transplanting our workshops to Europe. They are carry­ ing off our gold as fast as it can be dug in California. They are obliging Us to wear German and French broad­ cloths by forbidding the manufacture of American. They are shutting up factories, reducing the rates Of labor. Impoverishing the country. Away with them!” N That is exactly what a. Democratic tariff was doing in 1895, forty years later. In the winter of 1855, as the Republican narrates, the unemployed laborers of New York to the number of 60,000 men, 50,000 women and 10,000 children, were holding mass meetings and petitioning the city gov­ ernment for work on city improve­ ments, and were threatening anarchy unless their wants should be in some way provided for. In Boston the soup- house system was in full blast, except­ ing on Sundays, when the unemployed had to go hungrjr. Regular Demo­ cratic tariff times! The Springfield Republican demanded a return to pro­ tection as a means of allaying distress and restoring prosperity, just as the Republican newspapers were doing In' 1896, after-three years of free trade domination. The Springfield paper ap­pealed for: “Preference for American labor, for American goods, for American men, over the labor, the goods and the men of other countries.” Precisely what the protectionists of to-day are insisting upon. Forty-eight Years ago the Springfield Republican Was saying: “Free trade is correct in theory and correct in practice, if we are legislat­ ing for the benefit of the whole world. But if we are to legislate for America, let us legislate for Americans by pro­ tecting their interests and their labor against the interests of the* uneducated and impoverished labor of Europe.” To-day the Springfield Republican is diametrically opposed to the doctrine which it so ably advocated In 1855. Either it was wrong then or it is wrong now. It could not have been wrong in 1855, judging from the terri­ ble conditions of want and ruin which then existed as the direct result of legislating for the benefit of foreigners. Is there any more reason now than there was then why we should legis­ late against our own people and in favor of foreigners? Is there any rea­ son^ to suppose that the conditions of 1855 and 1895 would not return if we should abandon protection and InvP' the competition of the* under-paid labor In Europe? They certainly would and must return in such an I event, the only difference being that toe damage and loss would now be ten times greater because the aggregate of labor and production is now ten times sreatey,_ Havtpg climbed so high, we should fall so* much further.. 'IFwouId seem that-all that was needed- to re­ convert the Springfield Republican to protectionism -'would be a perusal of its own files of forty-eight years ago.

I Perhaps they are dreaming of eooil times to come, but it is more IiWv that the condition which tho Timev calls sleep is really the most livclv kind of wakefulness. The average farmer is not a dealer in gold bricks, nor does he invest in the long green. He nay be a shade too penurious, but lie Knows when he is doing well. I’rohaulv I19 knows that some of the tariff schedules need amending, but he understands that the policy of protection has built up villages, towns and cities and tilled them with people who buy aud pay. big prices for his products. He sees that he is getting the lion's share of the enhanced cost of living: that com­ petition with !his beef, veal, mutton, pork, poultry, eggs, potatoes and all sorts of garden truck is shut out Iw tariff walls. Is he likely to get up ami kick because his business is favored above any other? 1 It is not the rural, but the urban voters whom the standpatters hare cause to fear; not the man whom the tariff is fattening, but the other man, the salaried city man, Who is compelled to furnish the fat. And even he. in nine cases out of ten, would rathcr bear the ills he has than go to the avowed enemies of protection for relief.

Vote of the Colombian Senate Was Unanimous. GREAT SENSATION ON ISTHMUS Colombia May Open K etr Negotiations W ith the ITnited Stateg-N icaragua Al­ ternative Beffarded as a T hreat—Be* jection a Heavy Blow to SpccuIatlvo Property Ownera AlonjjfPanama-Route Bogota, Colombia, via Buenaventura. —The Panama CauaI treaty has boon- rejected unanimously by the Colom­ bian Congress. Bogota, Colombia.—It is reported that President Marroquin has been author* ized by Congress to make a .new treaty which will not require further ratifica­ tion, but that tlie basis given for the treaty .will probably prove unaccept­ able to the United States. It is considered, however, in official circles, according to reliable informa­ tion, that the authorization given by Congress to make a new treaty will furnish a basis for reopening negotia­ tions with the United States. It appears that one of the objections to the ratification of the treaty which carried weight in the Senate was that the Panama Canal Company did not come to a previous arrangement with the Colombian Government for the transfer of their concession. The action taken by the Senate, moreover, seems to have been influ­ enced by the communication made by the American Minister in which the in­ troduction of any amendments to the treaty was objected to. Colon, Colombia.—The reiection of the canal treaty by the Colombian Sen­ ate has produced a tremendous sensa­ tion on the Isthmus. It was generally believed that the treaty would pass with some modifications. There is good reason to believe that the majority of the members of the Senate regard the Spooner amendment to build a canal by the Nicaraguan route, if the Panama route was reject- ed by Colombia, as a mere threat on the part of the United States. They are convinced that the Nicaraguan pro­ ject is impossible, and that the United States will again deal with Colombia. The rejection is a heavy blow to prop­ erty owners here, who have been in­ vesting heavily on the prospects of the treaty being ratified. Panama, Colombia.—The unanimous rejection of the Panama Caual treaty by the Senate has caused a profound impression here in all circles. The question on all lips is what will become of Panama? The only consolation the isthmians have is that the rest of the republic, with the exchange at a very high figure, and with an upward tend­ ency, will suffer a great deal more. It seems that the Government never expected the treaty to be ratified, and it was not supported at all in the Sen­ate. General Lucia Velazco, an old vet­ eran and a distinguished army officer, has been appointed Military Command­ er of the Department of Panama. It is thought that the fears, caused by the rumors of a secession movement on tiie Isthmus, may have influenced the ap­ pointment. .Washington, T>. C.—The official state­ ment was made at the State Depart­ ment that the action of the Senate of Colombia is not regarded in any sense as a rejection of the Panama Canal treaty by Colombia. It is further ex­ plained that the combined action of the Colombian Congress and the Exec­ utive is necessary either to ratify or reject the treaty, and as yet the Col­ ombian House has not acted adverse^ ly. Reports from Bogota indicate that when the treaty does come to a vote in the House there* will be an over­whelming majority in favor of it. Un­ der these circumstances the officials of this Government are not so much concerned over the final outcome. Minister Herran was asked whether it was probable that the State of Pan­ ama would revolt against Colombia in the event of the rejection of the treaty. He replied that there was no indication of such a movement in Pan­ ama, and that such an outcome .was very improbable. r MOTHER’S! QUEER HOARD * MILLIONS TO FICHT FAMINE: Indian Irrigation Commission Proposes to Spend $150,000,000. Simla, India.—In a report just issued the Irrigation Commission proposes to lay out $150,000,000 in twenty years on protective works and 52,000,000 annu­ ally in loans for private irrigation works, the funds to be raised by loans and the interest thereon to be charged to the Famine Grant. The keynote of the commission’s pol­ icy is the vigorous use of the national resources on protective works, irrespec­ tive of their productive character, and the increase of the general resources of the country, and its resisting power in battles with famine. ALPINE CLIMBERS RESCUED. Seven Tonrists F ell Into a Gorge on the A iguilles G rises. Chamounix, France.—The seven tour­ ists who were reported to have been killed while climbing the Aiguilles Grises of Mont Blanc had, it appears, a remarkable escape. They were seen to fall into a gorge near the summit, and it was taken as a certainty that they were dead, but an exploring party discovered the tour­ ists, who were only slightly injured by their fall Nordensfejold B elief Ship Sails. The Nordenskjold relief expedition, commanded by Captain Gylden, of the Swedish Navy, sailed from Stockholm on board the Frithjof. It numbers twenty-three men and includes sis scientists.

He tied it up in a big cloth and carried it to a friend, who, after a count, announced that the “pile” footed up exactly $2800. Keenan at once drove to Dover and deposited the money. LINER SINKS CHINjSE CRUISER; Seyenteen H ves lo s t Off H ong'E ons and 170 M embers of Crew Bescued. Hong Kong, China.—The Canadian Pacific Railway’s steamer Empress of India was in collision near this port with the Chinese cruiser Huang-Tai. The warship sank an hour afterward. The Empress of India saved 170 of the crew of the cruiser. The captain of the Huang-Tai, who refused to leave his ship, and thirteen of her crew were drowned. The Empress of India was damaged badly amidships. Montreal, Que.—In an official ex­ planation which the Canadian Pacific Railway gives of the collision off Hong Kong, the railway officials say that the two vessels were running parallel courses about midnight, when, without warning, the captain of the Chinese cruiser suddenly starboarded his boat and tried to cross the bow of the Empress. The latter’s captain im­ mediately manuevred so that the col lision, which he knew would be the result, should be a glancing one. The bow of the cruiser slid along the side of the Empress, but the starboard pro­ peller of the Empress caught the cruis- cr and injured her so seriously that she sank in a few seconds.

On board a Cian-Of-Var bound to Ban Francisco from China was a young midshipman named Halters. He was a favorite with the officers, and had in him the talent for making a fine officer. The midshipmen on board stood their watch forward, and every hour it was their duty to come aft and write up the weather columns of the ship’s log, showing the readings of the barometer and thermometer and to heave the ship's log to ascer­ tain her speed. The captain, in company with the officer of the deck, was walking the weather side of the deck conversing when Midshipman Walters came aft to write up the log. The barometer, a mercurial one, was hung in the cap­ tain’s cabin, and Walters, after having read It, helped himself liberally to the captain’s sherrv on the cabin side­ board. In walking the deck the cap­ tain happened to glance down the cabin skylight and saw the midship­ man’s proceedings. When Walters came up on deck to heave the log the <aptain addressed him as follows: wHow is the barometer, sir?” Walters saluted and said: "Stead­ ily rising, sirj steadily rising.” The captain then asked: "And how is the decanter, sir7” Walters was taken aback, but with a steady voice replied: “Steadily falling, sir; steadily falling.” This reply was too much for the captain, and, bursting out laughing, he said: "Young man, your bright reply has saved you from punishment; but it is a long way to Frisco, so hereaf­ ter I beg of you not to consult the de­ canter as often as you do the barom­ eter.” ^ jiTEXAS PASTURES BURNED.

Miller, of Big Springs, Texas, a member of the State Legislature, was here and reported to the State authorities that many thousands of acres of grazing land situated in western Texas had been burned over during the past few days, and that the fire was started by ,incendiaries.The stockmen and farmers of the. section were guarding their pastures with armed men. Captain Miller says that up to the time he left home more than 200,000 acres of the grass had been destroyed, and new fires had just been started in Gaines and Dawson countics. - TROOPS SIDE WITH STRIKERS; Xoung Captain SniferB D eatli F or MaMng a Speecli in K ief. London.—The Daily Mail’s corre­ spondent at St. Petersburg describes a sensational incident which occurred during the KiefE strikes. On one occasion, he says, when tbe troops were ordered by the Governor to fire on the strikers, a young cap­ tain stepped in front of his company and forbade the troops to fire upon “their poor starving brothers.” The soldiers obeyed the counter or­der and the captain made a flaming revolutionary speech to his men. He was arrested and brought to St. Pet­ ersburg, where he was tried by court martial and sentenced to death. LONG LOST BROTHER FOUND.

Furniture of Mulberry Planted by Bard of Avon. Prior to 1602 Shakespeare is known to have planted a fruit orchard in the garden of Newplace, Stratford-on- Avon. According to a tradition, which, however was put on record till 1758, when it was cut down—he planted with his own hand a mul­ berry tree. An old Stratford inhab­ itant confided to Malone that the le­ gend had been orally current In the town onward from Shakespeare’s own day, and Sidney Lee mentions that In 1609 a Frenchman named Vernon distributed a number of young mul­ berry trees through the Midland counties by order of James I., who, as is well known, desired to encour­ age culture of silk worms. Relics from this mulberry tree are highly prized. At Puttick Simpson’s recently a standish, 7% inches long by 4% wide, apparently authentic, fetched $250, and an arm chair from the wood of the saun tree will be offered for sale in London soon. The women of the United States will probably be interested to learn that Uncle Sam is cultivating a beau­ ty plant in the experimental farm at Washington. The women of Algeria eat the seeds of this plant to make them beautiful, and the government experts are trying to determine what grounds they have for tha faith that is in them. The outcome is not a matter of much practical Importance, however, for there are many beauty foods now, and little use is made o( them. There are fresh fruit and vegetables, and there is absolutely no uoubt about their beautifying quali­ ties, according to Professor H. W. Wi­ ley, the government chemist. Why this is so is not perfectly understood, but their health and beauty giving powers are marvellous, and the wom­ an who wants bright eyes and a clear complexion can scarcely eat too much of them, ' The Snmmcr B ath.
