Sineethinking over the matter seriortsly, we have come to the con­ clusion that these criticisms are in a measure just, for we are ad­ monished by the ol,d Latin maxim which heads this article to “s a y NOTHING BUT GOOD OF THK D EA D.” The old corpse haying been laid to rest, sleejjiug in its grave,“ unwept, uuhonored and unsung,” we should not publicly speak nukindly of its demise.

Such rot as the above may Bailey’s Llea of Political Freedom The people have always as ranch freedom as they can stand and more than they use.—Biblical Recorder. Ifthat be true shame upon the conditions that make it true,"and it can be true only as the Simmons- Bailey creed as has been proven by the acts of the legislature abridg-1 ing the freedom of the people by despotic power- -a legislature that Mr. Bailey helped to shape and in which he took such active and ag­ gressive interest, individually and through the influence of' the reli gious journal he edits. By tbe heavy hand of might and power laid upon the people, Freedom has been as yo u know greatly abridged —almost eliminated from’ the just rights guaranteed by the constitu­ tion arid within the meaning of Patrick Henry's famous declara­ tion: “Give me liberty or give me death.” AYhen a leader of parties arrives at the conclusion that the common people (we mean the Imne aud sin ew of the country) “if they have the price,” can enjoy a modicum of treedom, provided they belong to tbe Democratic party) as will not interfere with the reigning oli­ garchy which has risen in Kortn Carolina to rule or ruin; then and then only is auy ‘ account taken ot the coinmonaUty. Mr. Bailey may not agree to this course of reasoning: bnt it is true —frightfully true—a truth heongbf to realize If the common, people have no just appreciation of the Freedom the fathers gave them, Good pity them! and Air. Bailey would try to persnde its that they (Ihe people) aie totally indifferent to the exercise of the largest meas­ ure of Freedom the country can give, and that instead they need a si rong hand to govern them—an “iron hand” of political power, such as now grips the spokes of the wheel that governs the helm— waiting, it is to be hoped, to be crushed by a move just jiarty pow­ er, which believes that the people are the sole center of Freedom, and who have the capacity to enjoy as much freedom sis Air. Bailey or Air. Simmons or even that flash- iu-the-pan, Josephus Daniels. sumea more independent,aggressive and critical attitude; and, reason­ ably, ike parties and politicians will become more responsive. In­ deed ,this is already at hand.—Bib­ lical Recorder. That is a great admission along the lines of political freedom,which we find in the last issue of the Bib­ lical Recorder (It is not religions, but political) whose editor is in thorough touch and is ideuti- Iieu with the Democratic party, whose convictions, since the ad­ journment -of the legislature and the giving of The Tar Hccl Club Banquet, have undergone a change by an undercurrent of reasoning half expressed, for believing so much he must believe a darn sight more. That is, this independent thought and movement heretofore identi­ fied with the Democratic party’— the'ease with which some .of the bolder suirits attend such gather­ ings as the Banquet, aud eager de­ sire to hear Republican speeches, aud read Rcpnblieau literature, (hat editor Bailey tabes occasion to apologize for it all'aud see noth ing in it bnt a “critical attitude.” He pretends to believe that there will be few penp'e change their po­ litical affiliations; but the lesson taught him by ike election tells him another tale. The despotic abridgement of the freedom of the people by his party’s legislature is written and it is history, and is bnt, fair to give him credit to try to hold his forcesin liue,—bnt-can he do it ty such sophist ry ? • That freedom which he dangles so jauntily on bis knee and sings lnlly-bys to the sooth the disturbed souls has gone already where the whang-doodle inonrneth and will not be coaxed back by Bailey’s0pinching dream.” But there is one thing evident in the above admissiou of “ political freedom” , and that is, the Repub­ lican Party has become a political force that demands respect where it was once held up to ridicule aud derisoi ' * white rnau’s party in which the .Lnougbtful men of ,the Hiate aie looking too to bring order out of char I. the Republican Party, given the country by Air.

It will be-safe to wait awhile be­ fore accepting the statement of tbe young negro who says he was re- joeatedly beaten and even threaten­ ed death because he took a clerk­ ship in the postoffic:: at Yazoo,Miss, which he had won tinder the civil service examination; but if the half of what be says is triie he has been the victim of a very great outrage. It is.to be hoped sincere­ ly that he can be successfully con­ tradicted. Upou the showing so far made he had done nothing wrong and the fault is wholly with his acsailants.

However, we are of the opinion that those independent Democrats who were present and heard Messers Yerkes and Dixon had no idea they were insulted un til the jiolititical dogs of war—the Democratic newspapers—told them they had disgraced themselves,etc., by being present.

Augusta, Ga., Special—A special from Branchville, S. C., to The Chronicle says: The worst wreck that has occur­ red on this division of the Southedn Railway in many years happened Sun­ day morning about 3 o’clock a few miles below Branchville near a small lumber station called Badham. The through freight from Columbia to Charleston and the fast passenger train from Charleston to Columbia ran into each other at the above named point. There was a very dense fog at the time. It is reported that Freight En gineer Reed's watch was 30 minutes slow, and that this was the direct cause of the wreck. So far, four are known to be killed outright as follows: Tom Conton, engineer on passenger and one of the oldest men in the ser­ vice. Conton’s body is mashed into- an almost unrecognizable mass, with one arm cut off, the hand of which' is still grasping the emergency krake. Another white man named Stokes, hrakeman, is killed, and also two ne­ gro brakemen, Adams and Stephens. Frenght Engineer A rthur Reed has both legs broken, besides severe inter­ nal injuries, and cannot possibly live. Leans to Russia. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—Emperor William’s speech at Tangier and pros­ pective developments therefrom en­ gross the attention of the Russian newspapers almost to the exclusion of peace discussion. H er treaty relations with France and the friendly attitude of Germany during the w ar place Rus­ sian in an awkward position. Never­ theless, the difficulties of floating fur­ ther loans in France and the absence of assistance on which, until recently, Russia at least had vaguely counted, incline the scales somewhat in favor of the western neighbor, whose benev­ olent neutrality and frontier pledge enabled Russia to place in the field a Manchurian army so well supplied with artillery. "Expectedly," The' Russo says, “a grouping of powers in W estern Eu­ rope has begun, and perhaps we are on the eve of great developments in international events." The Novoe Vremya sees in the Ger­ man Emperor's supposed pleasure trips to Jerusalem, Constantinople, and Tangier a fixed plan to uphold Turkey in Morocco and create “Mus­ sulman peril," which is Germany’s answer to Great Britain’s "yellow per­ il.” The paper expresses the belief that it will result in strengthening the bond between Great Britain and France, the embitterment of the feel­ ing between France and Germany, and increased armaments, but there is no possibility of war since Berlin fully comprehends the madness of conflict with G reat Britain and France allied. Demand of Miners Granted. Philadelphia, Special.—By the action of the soft coal operators of Central Pennsylvania, who had a meeting here Saturday, the threatened strike of the bituminous miners has been averted. The operators, In secret session decided to grant the demands of the men by renewing the wage scale in effect last year, the basis of which is 62 cents a ton for pick mining, A meeting of the joint scale committee of operators and miners will be held at Altoona next Tuesday, when the schedule will be adopted. Baptist Editors Adjourn. Memphis, Special.—The Southern Baptist Press Association, after three days’ session, has adjourned. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Dr. T. J. Barton, editor of The Mississippi Baptist: sec­ retary and treasurer, Dr. E. E. Folk editor of The Baptist and Reflector' Nashville, Tenn. The selection of the next meeting place was left to the ex­ ecutive committee. It is probable next year’s meeting will be held in Florida. Protests Rate of Exchange. Mexico City, Special,—Precautions have been taken by the government and the large banks to prevent a sharp rise in exchange as the result of th-' speculative movement, believed to have been planned to take place just as the new monetary system goes into effec That something of the sort would be •attempted, was foreseen some months ago. It is said that there has been extensive buying of exchange at the present low rate in the hope of a sharr advance. One of the largest banks has refused to sell exchange to brokers and private bankers, and has merely met the demands of commercial houses. It is the purpose of the government tc make the transition to the new sys­ tem as early as possible. Poisoned by Strikers. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—Reports from many places throughout Russia Including Tver, Borissoff and Sisran show that employes of warehouses and shops are again demanding shortei hours and more wages. There has been a general strike of shop assist­ ants at Samara and Irkutsk. According to the Russky Slovo, six­ ty workmen in a factory at Lodz have been poisoned and 23 are in a critical condition. It is supposed that strikers are responsible for the affair. Indictment Talk Revives.

The trustees of the State University met in the executive office Saturday. Col. Kenan, the chairman of the alum­ ni association, presided. The first thing done was to accept a gift ten­ dered by Andrew Carnegie of $50,000 for a library, the conditions being named by the giver that a like sum shall be otherwise raised. It was di­ rected that a careful canvass be made at once to raise the needed Sum. A library of modern style has long been needed, by the University, and now a golden opportunity is afforded. It was decided to suspend the summer school for this year, owing to lack of funds to conduct it. This is the sum­ m er school for teachers. Its suspen­ sion does not in any way affect the summer law schools, which will be conducted as usual. The Southern Ed­ ucation Board has made an offer to pay the expenses of a man, to be elect­ ed by the trustees of the University, to be ranked as a professor who will travel over the State and arrange for the establishment of public schools, not only covering this m atter and looking after such schools, but also lecturing at the University. This ex­ cellent proposition was also accepted. The amount allowed for salary and expenses of travel is $2,250. Prof. M. C. S. Noble was given leave of ab­ sence from the 1st of May until, the beginning of the next term, to go abroad and make a special study of the German and English public school systems. The President, Dr. Venable, who was present, made the usual good showing for the University. He is greatly pleased at the Carnegie gift, which iindeed is very agreeable to tbe trustees and the general public as well.

A Richmond, Va., special to Sunday’s Charlotte Obsetrver says: The Appomattox Camp of Confeder­ ate Veterans took action Saturday af­ ternoon adverse to the unveiling of the North Carolina monument there the IOth of April and passed a resolution declining to take part in the exercises because of the inscription on the monu­ ment. The resolution is as follows: "W hereas, The monument to be un­ veiled by the veterans of North Caro­ lina on the battlefield of Appomattox April 10th, to do honor to our com­ rades of that State, bear inscriptions which are not borne out by the history of the late war, and, whereas, we be­ lieve such inscriptions to be not only in violation of the facts of history, but. tend to destroy that feeling of unity and brotherly love, which is . so much to be desired and the promotion of which the camps were formed, be it, "Resolved, That the Camp of Appo­mattox will take no part, as an organi­ zation, in the unveiling ceremonies to be held on the IOth ilist,” The inscription complained of is as follows: “First at Bethel; farthest at the front at Gettysburg, and last at Ap­pomattox.” IOPI Occurrences of Interest in Parts of the State.

Spencer, Special.—Dr. J. W. Carlton, a leading citizen and member of the board of aldermen Of this place, had a frightful experienme with a robber shortly after midnight Sunday morning at the Salisbury passenger station. Together with a friend he was seated on a truck near the depot, When a well-dressed white m an approached the two men who were waiting to board a north-bound train, and placed his hand upon Dr. Carlton’s shoulder, at the same time making a move as if to enter his pockets. The doctor pro­ tested, telling the stranger he had run across the wrong man-. The stranger responded by throwing a pistol in the face of his prospective victims, and telling them they had better change their minds and surrender their mon­ ey. Both men, however, made a hasty escape at once, calling for policemen to arrest the robber, who, however, made good his escape. The place where the event occurred was In the shadow of a building, and there is Utt clue to the identity of the WoUid-bfi robber. North State News. The Code Commission is at work on The Code, which is now known as The Revisal of 1905, incorporating in it the many new laws enacted by the last Legislature. That body made more changes, mainly little ones, here and there in the general law than any other Legislature in the past ten years. These changes were mainly made by Independent legislation The Lexington Telephone Company is given authority to. increase its cap­ ital stack. Not many new charters for corporations of any marked Importance are being issued recently, and there seems to be a failing off, compared with a year ago for some reason. The United States government has filed suit in the Federal Court against the Seaboard Air Line Railway for ap alleged failure to comply with the safe­ ty appliance act of Congress. It is al­ leged that a certain car, which went from Michigan to Florida, was not equipped with the automatic coupler as required by law. Threatened by Forest Fires. Newbern, Special.—A forest fire is raging on the north side of the city. The fire b e v n uc-r the • line of the Pamlico, Oricatxl & W estern railway and burned for nearly a mile to the south and west and came to the water’s edge. It is now burning to the west­ ward and embraces several acres. The residences in the new suburb of Bridgeton have been threatened, but it is believed now that they will not be damaged. The amount of the loss can­ not be estimated, but it will reach in the thousands of dollars. Trustees’ Report. Thomasville, Special.—The board of trustees of the Thomasville Baptist Orphanage met here Thursday and af­ ter thorough investigation reached the following decision with regard to the controversy that has been in progress for some time between Editor Bailey of the The Biblical Recorder and Sup­ erintendent J. B. Boone, of the Orphan­ age, as to the fever epidemic of last fall:"The trustees after thorough inves­ tigation find that the doctors, Julian and Battle, testified that they gave specific instructions to the general manager regarding means which they believed would prevent the continued spread of tbe typhoid fever epidemic of last summer. They further find, that General M anager Boone testifies that he did not regard the instructions to be positive and explicit and that in the exercise of what he considered his discretion he did not completely carry out the instructions of the physicians but says that he did what he thought was for the best. “We further find that the general manager, his wife and assistants, to­ gether with the physicians, did all in their power fo r the sick children and that on account: of this extraordinary care the mortality was very small, on­ ly about two per cent, of the cases proving fatal:“We wish to assure the public that the work of installing a complete sys­ tem of w ater works, with sewerage system, is progressing just as rapidly as possible, which we believe will pre­ vent a recurrence of another epi­ demic.” This is the report of the day’s inter­ esting session. There is some talk of this m atter coming up again before the annual meeting of the board, which takes place in the summer. However, the hope is expressed that the con­ troversy is ended and that the entire affair is now a m atter of the past. North State NeWSi Sonie days ago Governor Glenn re­ ceived a letter from the British consul in this State asking for full informa­ tion regarding a British subject named Evans, who has made complaint to the British m inister to this country that he had been set upon and beaten in Chatham county where he has charge of a hunting preserve owned by New- Yorkers,, and Sb which they pay taxds. Evans ciaims that he was exercising his dogs, was training them, and that by accident they killed some game; that he was arrested, carried before a m agistrate, fined, and though he gave notice of appeal to the Superior Court, the m agistrates, instead of certifying the fact, declared that the fine must then and there be paid or he should have to go to jail. Evans then says he was "Struck in the back of the head with a bludgeon by some person and badly hurt, and that no attem pt was made to arrest the tnah who thus struck him. The Governor is having the m atter looked into very. closely. The British government is always in dead earnest about these m atters, and no trifling is allowed. It is always a serious m atter to do an injury to a British subject, as all the world knows. As yet the Governor has not received the full statem ent of the affair, and it was hfs desire, In fact his Special request, that it be kept olit of the newspapers until he had the story in full, but it has leaked in some way, and- hence the present mention. Texas A fter the Trusts. Austin, Texas, Special.—1The Texas Legislature will send the Attorney General out on a general "octopus” hunt. To that end bills were prepared for introduction into both branches of the Legislature, at the same time, ap­ propriating $15,000 for use by the At­ torney General. The most prominent of the so-called trusts to be investi­ gated are the beef and oil companies. Seventy Thousand Doliars Damage and W hole Town W as Endangered. Louisburg, Special.—One of the most disastrous fires in the history of the town occurred here Wednesday after­ noon at 2 o’clock, destroying property valued at $70,000. The fire broke out in the large to­ bacco prlzery of C. B. Cheatham. A good deal of stock ’was saved by he­ roic work, but his loss was heavy and is estimated at $35,000; Louisburg-, W arehouse and Tobacco Co., $7,000; W. T. Hughes, warehouse, $4,000; W. W. Devin, drug store, $1,800; W. H. Pleas­ ant, warehouse, $1,000; R. T. Carlyle, prize-house, $1,000; F. N. Edgerton, dwelling and out-house, $10,000, dwel­ ling and contents total loss; W. A. Ragsdale, $500; Mrs. B. G. H art’s prize house, $2,500; one two-story dwelling belonging to a W. Ford, about $1,500; four or five small dwellings, $2,500; one two-story dwelling occupied by Miss Jennie Aycock, $1,250, and ten bales of cotton belonging to W. H. Pleasants. The total loss will amount to $70,000. The tobacco and business houses were covered by insurance, but the dwellings are all a total loss, except that of F. N. Edgerton, which was in­ sured. The wind was blowing Strong­ ly from the south right towards the heart of the town and was making a terrifflc progress northward up Church street, when fortunately it changed to a westerly direction. Had it kept for­ ward as it started no power On earth could ,have prevented its destroying every building on both sides of the street from tihe river to the college. Louisburg’s brave fire-fighters respon­ ded nobly to the call and did heroic work, white and colored working side by side. Dynamite was used freely on small buildings in the fire's pathway. Tbe residence of Mrs. E. S. Foster on the hill opposite the Thomas ware­ house, was saved from destruction by a miracle, it being between the ThomaS warehouse and the Edgerton residence. An out-house on the premises Of J. a. Barrow, one quarter of a mile away, caught from flying sparks. No injuries are reported except a number of burns and several cases of over-exertion. The fire was only pre­ vented from spreading to the business section by the free use of dynamite and tbe fortunate change of the wind. NEGRO MURDERER ARRESTED. Strong Pull For Test Farm. W ilmington, SpeciaL-By unanimous action, subject to concurrence of the board of audit and finance, which is said to be assured the board of alder­ men voted an appropriation of $1,500 to supplement a like appropriation and 50 acres of land by the county and a pri­ vate subscription of $3,000 to be used in the purchase of a site near Wilmington for tender to the State board of Agri­ culture as a site for the proposed test truck farm to be established In eastern Carolina.

North Carolina Pays Up, W ashington, Special.—The Attorney General of the State of North Carolina deposited with the clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States $27,400 to be turned over to the proper authorities of the State of South Dakota in satis­ faction of the judgment obtained by that State against North Carolina on railroad bonds guaranteed by the State of.

RUSH F O R JA P A N E S E L O A N Keur Eond Issue Oversubscribed Many -Times. I In New York and I-ondon Crowdl Scramble to InTM t Their Savings* New York. C ity--The American por­ tion of tbe flow Japanese loan w as oversubscribed three o r' four times at the offices of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., 52 W illiam street. W hen the office force arrived for work tbe lower corridor outside the doors of tbe banking house w as jammed w ith people so that it was hardly possible to reach tbe elevators. Outside the portal there w as'a double line of people extending across William street and two or three doors up on Pine street.It wasn’t a run on a bank. It was the company Of those who wanted to subscribe to the new four and a bait per cent. Japaueseloan before it should be too late. Members of tbe Exchauge were there to put In their applications in person. Jamm ed into line with them were messenger boys with envelopes con­ taining memoranda of the amounts de­ sired and checks for the required de­ posit; these touched elbows w ith l'ash? ionably dressed women of tbe Wall Street investor type, and they again with others of more liumble costume, who had come with some of their sav­ ings, attracted by tbe popularity of the issue and its high interest return. W hen the subscription taking was fairly under way there was a liustie such as tbe conservative old banking house has not seen for many a day. “They fairly tore US to pieces,” de­ clared a representative of the fttm iu the course of the morning. "Until 11 or 12 o’clock wo had not time to breathe.” And this was pretty nearly so In fact, so far as those who were engaged in handling the applications were con­ cerned, for with the flood of money nud Wiecks there was a rush of questions of every conceivable nature from the folks who were not in the habit daily of having a part in a $75,000,000 issue. Some had to be shown where to w rite In on the application blanks the amount for which they subscribed, and very many were worried at seeing their money disappear w ithout getting so much as a receipt far it, To some it was explained that cheeks were receipts; others whose deposits were In cash were told to take a good long look at the man who gathered in the subscription blanks money at­ tached, so that they might be able to identify him iu Case Of trouble. They didn’t understand the ways Sf the Street, where millions of dollars of money and securities are liandled day after day without other guarantee or contract 1ban the names of tbe houses In the transactions. In making Such allotments as this of tbe Jnpanes.- loan it is the custom or bankers to give preference td the small subscribers and let the larger interests stand the largest cuts in the amount of their nward. Reports from other cities indicate large Subscriptions throughout tbe country. StisU F.or Loan in London* London, England.—The issuing banks estim ate that the Japanese loan has been oversubscribed at least ten times. They think the foreign applications alone ftilly cover the whole amount. The porticri allotted to London was well oversubscribed within nit iioiil' of the time of the opening of the hanks. For an hour before the doors opened throngs crowded the vicinity of the Is- suiug bouses. The first post brought in iufliiy thousands of applications, and the enormous subsequent deliveries gave evidence of public interest In the loan. An interesting feature was the fact that many applications were received from the Continent, indicating a change Of views regarding Japan’s financial Stability, It is said that large sub­ scriptions came froni GeiiUiaiiyr Switz­ erland applied for $10,000,000 of the loan. 30 30% 28 29% 24 27 25 @ 27 20 24 IS @ 21 13 @ 13% 13 14 8 @ 8%_@ 6% 4 @ 5 19 @ 19% 19 W 19% 17 ®17% 16 ®17%29®33 65 @ 75 Miolesale Prices Quotel in ,Kew York m ix . : Tho Milk Exchange price for standard Juality is 3c. per quart. . .. .. .

Stupendous Indemnity Named Said to Be the Cause of Russia’s Hesitation —Not Doing the Magnanimous Act. Paris Special.—Although official in­ formation is lacking, it is asserted in well-informed quarters that Japan has permitted Russia to learn that peace conditions will be severely rigorous and will not be responsive to the re­ cent plea to Japan’s magnanimity. In particular, it is said that Japan’s in­ demnity figure is $800,000,000, and that this stupendous sum has proved so staggering to Russian diplomacy that it is the chief cause why the peace, preliminaries do not advance to a de­ cisive stage.

Break-Up of W infer-O perations in the Various Trades and M arkets. New York City,—Breaking up of win­ ter always has one draw back in the harm done, by freshets and floods. In the Pittsburg (Pa.) region many mills were rendered idle, thi’o wing thousands of men temporarily ont of employment, a particularly undesirable thing a t this lime, when the demand for iron and steel products is increasing. B ut the benefits of higher tem perature and bright sunshine far outweigh any dam ­ age In net result in so far as the na­ tion’s total business is concerned. Buy­ ers are now operating freely In all the markets, jobbing -trade expanding rap­ idly, and m anufacturers are a t last re­ alizing the liberal trade for which they have been preparing. W ork has also been interrupted to some extent by small strikes, and the temporary clos­ ing of sugar refineries threw several thousand men out of employment, but these drawbacks are not of a nature to cause apprehension. The Money M arket. A t last the money m arket appears to have hecome established in a position. Funds are being transferred from New York City to New Orleans, La., and some interior points, while Treasury w ithdraw als of public funds have draw n those deposits down to $80,000,- 000 for the whole country.

An old lady who was in Paris dar­ ing the Commune related the foliow- ing incident apropos ot some talk about the siege of Port Arthur: iOne night there was a light to front of the house in which I lived and a m an was killed. The body was not removed and lay where it fell. At daybreak the next morning I looked out to see if the body was still there. Just then a man came down the street and stopped by the body. He careful- Iy searched the pockets of the dead man, but did not find a single cent. This so angered him that he gave the dead man a vigorous kick. Then he walked away and had gone only a short distance when he fonnd a pav­ ing stone, which he picked up. and returning to the dead body he raised the stone and with it smashed the head of the corpse.

London, Engiand--Peace talk has been prevalent everywhere, but that negotiations had commenced w as posi­ tively denied in all official circles here. The Foreign Ofiice disclaimed even having any knowledge of peace propos­ als. Viscount Hayashl, Japanese M inister to U reat Britain, declared that he had no information in regard to the an­ nouncement contained in St. Peters­ burg dispatches th at Russia had indi­ rectly made known to Japan the nega­ tive conditions on which peace might be concluded, namely, no cession ot territory and no indemnity, but he said unreservedly that the term s then men­ tioned could not even be considered. Czar's Concessions to Flnnn St. Petersburg, Russia. — Emperor Nicholas has given an answer to tho petition of the Finnish D iet asking that all imperial decrecs since the D iet Cf 1S9S), which, it was claimed, were in contravention of the organic law of Finland be w ithdraw n or subm itted for the approval of the Diet. These in­ cluded the M ilitary Conscription act. the language manifesto of 1900. pro­ viding for the use of the Russiaii lan­ guage in the principal departm ents; the irrem ovability of judges anil the concentration of the executive power in the hands of the Governor-General. Iu his decision the Czar concedes two points—the suspension of the Oousci'ip- tiou act until 1908. when the whole question will be subm itted to the Diet, and in lieu of m ilitary service Finland will hare to pay a contribution ol' 82.- 000,000 in the same wny as the M ansrl- mans of the Caucasus pay S2G4,00(* in­ stead of furnishing recruits. In this m atter the Em peror w ent beyond tho recommendations of the Kussiati Sen­ ate, to which- the petition w as sub­ mitted, and acted .upon the advice of Prince John Obolensky, Governor-Gen­ eral of Finland, who favored a con­ cession to Finnish public opinion.

An epidemic of matrimony with chorus-girls has broken out again in the British peerage, states the Argo- nant. Three young lords and a m ar­ quis are depleting the stage of the same theatre. Contrary to the recent announcement by the solicitor of an­ other peer that as soon as he married an American heiress his debts would be paid, these theatrical alliances can have no financial motive. Yet the chorus-girl m arriages seem to turn out as well as those arranged on pure­ ly business principles. And m arriages out of their own circle keep the Brit­ ish peerage more virile than the Con­ tinental nobility with their interm in­ able quarterfngs. What’s the Use?

Many babies have been launched into life w ith constitutions weakened by disease taken in w ith their mother’s milk. Mothers cannot be too careful as to the food they use w hile nursing their babes.

For years I had been troubled w ith dizziness, ?nots before my eyes and pain in my heart, to which w as added, two years ago, a chronic sour stomach.

It not only agreed perfectly w ith baby and myself, .but" it increased the flow of- my milk. My husband th en , quit coffee and used Postum, quickly got ■well of the dyspepsia w ith which he had been troubled.

A t a late hour in the night, a horse and trap belong­ ing to Signor Laroupi 1 a well known citizen, drew up in front of his house. On the seat was Signor Laroupi’s headless body. y ith the reins tightly wrapped around the hands. The crime is believed to have been committed by members of a secret so­ ciety, among whom Signor Laroupi had enemies. The head was afterw ard found in a sack containing Christmas presents, which the murdered man had pur­ chased In a neighboring town earlier in the day. A fter decapitating their victim, the m urderers had secured the body in the trap and whipped np the horse. The animal having frequently traveled by the same road, found its way home.

Thousands and thousands of peo­ ple in North Carolina voted the Uepublican ticket because they bad beeu told that the election of a Re­ publican President would guaran­ teed them fifteen cents per pound for every ponud of cotton they rais­ ed. Cotton is now getting down to something like seven cents per pound. They sure did put up a nice job on the people tbis round. They will not be able to fool so many next time.—Davidson Dispatch. Such rot as the above appears ill nearly every issue of the Dispatch. The editor must think bis readers very simple, or ignorant galoots. Ucpnblicans bad too much sense to make any such guarantee, but the partisan Democratic editors are trying very bard to make such an impression. The government report shows that last year's crop was the larg­ est on record, and with the farmers rushing their cotton oti the market a drop in price naturally followed. The same thing would be true of any large crop rushed on the maket. But we wish to call the attention of Ibe editor of the Dispatch to the low prices prevailing on all agri­ cultural products during Mr.. Cleve­ land’s administration. Cotton sold for Ic and 5c, and no sucli crop Corn, wheat, oats and oth­ er products are selling at good pri­ ces today; labor is employed at good TU e In sa n e .

I have no doubt that he is an hon­ est ar.d sincere man and says what he thinks. AVe do not ail thiuk alike. In my business career, to which Dr. Gladdea seems to take exception, I discovered it to be a,n infallible ruleihatam an who stuck closest to his business be had in hand was the most likely to be suc­ cessful. If the clergy were to stick closer to the business of Chinch and devote less time to somewhat wild discussions of questions which are not intimately related to their work, it strikes me there would be less complaints of the falliug off iu the interest in religious affairs ” Only a short time ago we had an object lessou of similar character iu this State, when the preachers— under a mistaken idea that .the Ward bill was a temperance rneiis- ure—pushed forward to the lobby aud log-rolled for it. Mr. Carne­ gie’s words apply to these gentle men, as well as to Dr. Gbiddeu. We do not think such men cor­ rectly represent the true thought and being of the Cburch militant. Jthyi1V' !

Were the members of the legisla­ ture “studying” the welfare of these people or merely pietending - offeriugasau excuse for excessive appropriations to gratify the maw of leeches “ baugingon” to suck the life-blood ont of the people? We say it was all pretense, and no thought for the insaue: Increased salaries for the 21 Judges were considered and pro­ vided for in preference to caring for the helpless wards -or should be wards, of the State. Comply with the demands of rhese Judges for §500 more pelf a year and turn the lunatics loose upon the several communities in which they are lo­ cated; provide for their own salar­ ies and perquisites at a cost of §80, 0 0 0, and create many new offices, anti look after the creature com­ fort of our elegant Governor and State oliicials, but not a cent for the helpless insane, and in all other ways provided for the expenditure of the enormons revenue the people pay into the treasury, before the question of considering the case of the helpl ss insane is taken up, to say nothing of the failure to act in their behalf. And why! Because they were, in the first place,incom­ petent to deal with the question its it should have been dealt with, and iu lhe second place, they were too cowardly to act decisively.— Afraid to make the appropriation out of the revenue because they "knew it was uot there after they had given it all away to the Judges, to themselves, to their “heelers,” to presidents of colleges and drop­ ped it into the pockets of favorites, nil along Ihe line;—too cowardly to issue bonds for fear of the condem­ nation of the people;—incompetent and cowardly! A fine record to go before the people with! Democrats are surprised Ibein- selves that there is 110 better resnl- from the legislation had. The ut ter failure to provide tor the insane cauuot be characterized iu any oth­ er way thair, as we have said, iu- competency and cowardice; unless we add. peauut polities,—tura the the lunatics loose and cater to the voters for a continuance of powei by .an Hthuman act,—deceive the people by panderiug to their relief in taxation,—all bosh! The Charlotte Observer is forced to say there i s no way out of the hole but to issue bonds, although it says, ‘-our people go crazy when­ ever bonds are mentioned,” which is furtiier proof of the legislature’s cowardice. The right thing to have done, and the way was open for the leg­ islature to do it, was to care for the insane out of the revenue which the pcop e paid into the treasury for that purpose, before these “side shows” were thought of. The defunct statesmen iiiade a great howl and D ob Quixote wind mill fight for the Waixl tempera use fraud and jug-law farce, but iu a great, grave, humane problem they showed a Iaek of wisdom and an incompeteuey to cope, that is dis­ graceful aud inhuman. If you have the insane in your jails, poor-houses or private homes prepare to care for them indefinite­ ly, for the Lord only knows when they will find a home in the asy­ lums. Those now living will prob­ ably never see the inside of an asy­ lum, unless the people take this grave matter into their own hands and wipe this fanatical, tyranical, despotic Oligarchjr out of existence, and put into control a new aud wiser set of men to conduct .the af­ fairs of State. easy tiling to work” wlieu he tack­ led President Roosevelt.—Winston Journal.

VVhether it is the intention to send them south immediately or to hold them in the vicinity of Vladivostock is not known. Their appearance outside the roadstead of Vladivostock would constitute a potential threat against Admiral Togo’s rear, which will com­ pel the retention in, or dispatch a num­ ber of heavy fighting ships to Japanese waters. Thus Admiral Togo seems to be virtually placed between two fires.) The peace influences in the govern­ ment urge this favorable strategic po­ sition presents the psychological mo­ ment for offering officially the olive branch, to Japan, reasoning that no m atter how confident the Japanese government may be of Admiral Togo’s victory, it will not overlook the possi­ bility of defeat or fail to appreciate the complete disaster which would follow the transfer of the mastery of the sea to Russia. W ith so much depending up­ on the issue, they argue, both countries have mutual interest in avoiding an ac­ tual test, and it is not impossible, therefore, that a new movement in the 'direction of peace may come just as the world expects to hear the call to quar­ ters for the greatest naval battle of modern times. Certainly the spirits of the war party have been greatly raiseJ by Rojestvensky’s success in penetrat­ ing to the China Sea; and the prospect of a naval battle, even with the-odds against Russian victory, which would change the entire complexion of the situation, has aroused something like a flash of enthusiasm in many Russian breasts. Some naval officers express the opin­ ion that Rojestvensky having now safe­ ly navigated the straits, instead of sailing north to meet the Japanese, can afford to calmly await Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, with his division of squad­ ron, which could arrive there in about three weeks. The Russian Admiralty on Sunday received a long dispatch form Singa­ pore, but no intimation as to its con­ tents has been given to the newspa­ pers. The papers Sunday morning printed Singapore dispatches without comment. The Sviat being the only exception. This paper views the news from Rojestvensky as an auspicious prelude to a decisive battle, “which may show that OverRojestvensky still shines the happy star which helped him, when a lieutenant, to save the fragile Vesta in an unequal conflict with a Turkish battleship.” The Sviat expresses the hope that Rojestvensky * is destined to turn the tables, and that, even in case of defeat, some of hi 3 vessels will be able to break through and reach the Sea of Japan.

Wadesboro, Special.—Two men; pre­ sumably professional safe-crackers,. were shot and seriously wounded by a posse of citizens in the. woods four miles from W adesboro Saturday after­ noon. A third man made his escape and is now being pursued. The wounded men were brought to W adesboro tonight and lodged in jail. One of them is shot through the stom­ ach and is supposed to be fatally wounded. The other received a num­ ber of bullets in his arms and legs and several bones are broken. Both men preserve absolute silence and so far there is no clue to their identity. A quantity of nitro-glyeerine, several tools, two darks lanterns, two pistols, and a considerable amount of money was found on them. The money is in silver and greenback and is in the possession of the sheriff. The men are well dressed and of genteel ap­ pearance. The local authorities were apprised of the coming of the three men by a telephone message from McFarlan, a village in the lower edge of Anson, near the South Carolina line, this af­ ternoon. The message stated that three strangers, who acted suspicious­ ly, had boarded Atlantic Coast Line trains, one a freight and the other two passenger drains. A posse of citi­ zens was immediately formed, and led by Constable Jim Porter, of Idles- ville township, started south, while local officers watched incoming trains. When about four mires southeast of Wadesboro the-posse came upon the three strangers, who had left their trains there, joined forces and started across the country in the direction of Liiesviile. The posse commanded the trio to halt, but the men took to their heels In an effort to escape and the posse opened fire. About twenty-five shots were fired and two of the strangers fell, seriously wounded. The third got away and the greater portion of 'the posse continued in pursuit, while the others guarded the two wounded men and awaited the arrival of the sheriff. Though the two men were armed they made no effort to re- tujp the fire of the posse. Dr. J. H. Bennett went to the scene of the bat­ tle and dressed the wounds of the men, returning with them to town to­ night. The warning of the presence of the men in the M cFarlan neighborhood came from Kershaw, S. C., and as the latter place is only a few miles from Heath Springs, S. C., it is presumed that the men overhauled by the posse are wanted in connection with the robbery of a safe at Heath Springs less than a week ago. i North State News.

Asheville, Special.—The election in Asheville to determine w hether the mountain metropolis should take whis­ key straight from a dispensary pint bottle or have the privilege of indulg­ ing in fancy drinks over the bar coun­ ter, resulted in a sweeping victory for the open saloons, the dispensary suf­ fering defeat by a m ajority of 529. The total vote cast was 1,337, or al­ most 400 short of the registered vote, The election was, contrary to expecta­ tions, one of the quietest and most orderly for many years. All the per­ sonal feeling and bitterness that was rv.nifested during the campaign seem­ ed to have been entirely eliminated, and the forces worked in good humor. At an early hour, the dispensary cause was given much encouragement, and in several of the precincts th e ,d is­ pensary led until shortly after eight o’clock, when the opponents began flocking to the polls, and at 9.30 the saloons had a lead of 300. From this hour on, the dispensary gradually lost, until the closing of the polls, when the official vote showed a m ajority for the saloons. — Partridge Executed.

The president received an earnest letter to-day from *a man in Cork, Ire­ land. “I am a large investor in American securities,” he wrote, “and I hear dis­ quieting rumors that you intend to send a special message to Congress urging a revision of the tariff. If you do it I am a ruined man, for I am heavily loaded up with * American stocks just now.” After begging the president to do nothing to disturb the tariff, “for my sake,” the Cork man concluded: “if you m ust send such a message, please cable me several days in advance, so that I can unload.”—W ashington Cor­ respondence New York World.

September I, the beginning of the cot­ ton harvest, to December 10, the date of the Agricultural Departm ent esti­ mate, “trade predictions” of the crop hold the stage. Fresh from his achieve­ ments 111 the crop of 1003, Mr. Sully last September informed the trade that 10,000,000 bales was an outside esti­ mate. Other representatives of “the trade” pushed the figures up to 12,- 000,000—that estimate, by Neill Broth­ ers, being considered rash. On De-- cember 10 came the Government’s c a l­ culation, with figures of 1^,407,000 bales for the commercial crop. The Census Bureau’s “giuniug es­ timate,” published a t a time - w hen preparation of cotton for m arket is usually completed, discloses 13,597,782 bales. But, strange to say, this week’s giuuing estim ate gave place to an out­ turn of more tu rn 10,000,000. \ ' Germany Favors Japan. W hile the cpurse of events w ith re­ spect to Russian funds has been upon: the whole unsatisfactory for the Ger­ man m arket, it is interesting to note that German investors have begun to turn tow ard Japanese issues. Berlin, H am burg and Frankfort have actu­ ally been investing money freely in the issue of six per cent, bonds that will soou be offered for subscription in Japan. Big Railway Earnings.

There was a violent shock a t Agra1 beginning a t 6.10 o'clock iu tlie morn­ ing and lasting for several minutes. T ie vibration traveled from w est to east. The inhabitants of Lahore were thrown into panic by a succession of shocks. It is reported that the towers of the Golden Mosqne have fallen, and the W azIr K han Mosque was badly cracked. The shocks were so violent at Delhi th at natives squatting on the ground were completely overturned. The native quarter of Dharmsala was obliterated entirely, the population be­ ing buried under the ruins, and nine Persons were killed: iu the !European quarter, w here the buildings were wrecked. The w-omen and children of Dharm- saia are sleeping In the open air. Tlieir discomfort was increased by a keen frost. Food could not be procured there. Lahore, British India.—The earth­ quake w as the w orst disaster here. Within the memory of living persous. The towns of Amritsar, Jullunder, Ferozepoor, Multan, Bawul-pindi and Mussooree were badly shaken. G reat damage and loss of life were reported- from Kashmir. The Dalhousie, Pehoa, Dumdum and Patiala telegraph lines became disor­ganized. Seventy natives were killed a t Ln- liore. The Mohammedans began parad­ ing the streets, praying and ceremon­ iously performing funeral rites. Beports indicate that D harm sala felt the full force of the shock. The killed include C. W. Lexton, who only the previous day had assumed the office of District Judge in succession to Captain Elliott, who, w ith his family, left the same day, escaping the shock. Others who perished were F. W. Levi, C. T. Young, T. M illar and F. Farleys, all public officials; Captain Museroffc and Mrs. Bobineon, wife of Colonel Bobiu- son, and her two daughters. At Mussooree there w as considerable damage to private propefty. Curious scenes were witnessed in the grounds of the Savoy Hotel there, where wom­ en rushed from the hotel in hastily as­ sumed garments, their hair CQvered with fallen plaster. It is a curious fact that the older houses in Mussoloree es­ caped w ith less damage than modern buildings. Accounts from Mussooree state that the reverberation which preceded the shocks will never be forgotten by those who heard it. The mountains heaved and swayed a full mftlnte, and then three severe shocks, each lasting a few seconds, were felt in quick succession. Between 6 o’clock in the morning and m idnight there were twelve shocks. The day was fine and clear and most of the inhabitants were already up when the first shock came. Those who w ere still in bed described the motion' as being like that of a ship in a storm, while those on foot found it impossible to m aintain their'balance. Many nar­ row. escapes are reported. Keports from many more towns show widespread dam age and more fa­ talities. A t Firozfur (forty-seven miles cast of Lahore), Amritsar, F arana, Debra, Dun and Srinagar many natives were killed or injured. The hills show the w orst effects of the shock, Communication w ith the whole of K ashm ir has evidently been cut by landslips or accidents to the lines. Orthodox H indus declare th at the heinous sins of her children make mother earth tremble. STAY FOK MRS. CHADWICK. D. S. Court of Appeals Delays Carry­ ing Out of Sentence.

She possessed a very quiet, unassuming personality which is very characteristic of one whose soul is so gentle, so Christian, like as was hers. She was a devot-j e*l member of the Elbaville M. P. ehuiek, aud was never happier than when she sat within the walls of the old church, engaged in God’s service. Only a short time ago she was one among us; today she qui­ etly sleeps in her grave; and this reminds us that, ’while we may llourish today, yet tomorrow we may’ fade, for, indeed, the paths of glory lead but to the grave. NYe extend condolence to those bereft for her place in the old home will never again be filled; and it gives ns pleasure to have the opportunity of dropping this gentle llower ou her grave.

It is Eafe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown. Thedford’s Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. ThisgreatfamiIy medicine is not -a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con­ stipation and may be taken by a mere child without possible harm. The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in­ vigorating effect on the kidneys. Bamuse the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results. Timely treatment with Thed- ford's Black-Draught removes the dangers which lurk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright’s disease, for whieh dis­ ease in advanced stages lbere is no care.

If it m eans anything it m eans a sneer a t P resident Roosevelt, al- thought the editor tries to throw the oness upon the “ Republican behind the breastw ork,” — a dis­ gruntled office seeker who failed to get office—more than likely, and for th a t paper to talk flippantly about P resident Roosevelt appoint­ ing m en to office— especially Dem ­ ocrats—is certainly in bad taste, since we recall to m ind th a t one of the pioprietors ot th a t paper is holding down a $3,500 governm ent jo b and held it for five or six j-ears an appointee of P resident M c­ K inley, through th e recoinm euda tion of ex-Senator, now Judge P ritchard.

To iise th e“ m an belliud tlie breast­ works” as acats-paw to pull the ed­ itor’s chestnuts out of the fire; or give venl to his spleen,- sarcastic­ ally, is, to say the least, to belittle the adm inistration. Such an appointm ent would do the R epublican party organization in the S tate injustice and the pa.rty no good. Such'an appointee to the office of Iuterpyl Revenue Collector a t Raleigh would use all his power of plaqe to dem oralize th e organi­ zation and to deteat the R epubli­ can party jr. the S tate and fail to raise a hand for the N ational catise, and w hile governm ent office hold­ ers necessarily exert influence, yet they are b u t a sm all p a rt of the SO1OOU R epublicans of the State, and do not. wield h alf thepow er a t­ tributed to them ; b u t a m an out of harm ony and sym pathy w ith the party in position of pow er w ould wield m uch harm ful influence.

TBR SU B sT ALICE: DOUGrLAS ★ * * HERE, I have bought youI ft )l just what you want most 0 I O of anything.” With these * JV words Gilbert placed the big basket he had brought upon the chair beside the couch where Mrs. Ames was lying, removed his hat, Ihcnte quite out of breath, went up to the cook stove from which the invalid's living room was supplied with heat. The gray haired woman upon the couch aroused herself, and removing the cover from the basket, said, “God bless you, my boy, God bless you. and grant you the pleasantest Easter you have ever had.” “So those fruits and cakes and pies and other things are what you wanted the most of anything, are they?” ob­ served Gilbert, with a look of teudcr- ness in his usually roguish black eyes. Mrs. Ames looked perplexed. She did not know what to tell her young caller, who had so often cheered the loneliness of her life with such pleas­ ant errands from his mother as the present. That she did want what he Jiad brought very, very much was a fact. Indeed, but for the help that she thus received from Gilbert's mother, she would not ire able to live without calling upon the city for help, and that very morning she was wondering if she had food enough In the house to last her over the morrow. It would be a pity if she had not, for the mor­ row was Easter Sunday. But, still, did she really want that welcome food more tkau auything else in the world? Ah, she knew that she did not. She knew that there was one thing that she wanted very, very much .more- that she had been wanting for a whole year, but should she let Gilbert know? Should she lessen the pleasure of'the lad by telling him that there was something that she wanted even more than what lie had brought. Gilbert had a dim idea of what was in Mrs. Ames' mind, and asked. “Now. was there something else that you wanted more than these things?” “I may as well tell the truth.” said the old lady to herself, then aloud, .“Yes, Gilbert, there is oue thing that 1 want move than anything else in the world, and that is to attend church upon Easter. There is no Sunday in the world to me like Easter. I was married ou Easter, and on this day Uuy husband went to his reward above. It is very, very seldom that I miss passing Easter at the church, uo mat­ ter how sick I may be.” “Then why don’t yon go this year’” eaid Gilbert. Mrs. Ames put hack Into ,the basket the great apples she had just taken much cau’t sec mere, wuue m ere are so man}' who could go, hut you can’t get ’em to.” On reaching home Gilbert carried the basket into the kitchen, and then went tor his rake to tiiiisk np the spring cleaning he was giving the lawn. As lie stepped into the stable for the rake Le saw something which surprised him very much. You will never be able to guess w hat it was, so I will tell you. It was a little black pony, standing as contentedly in the stall as if that bad always been her stall, while near by ■was a little basket wagon, which Gil­ bert was certain belonged to the pony, and of course both pony and wagon belonged to him, for he was the only child in the family. He rushed up to the pony, patted her, threw his arms about her neck, and said, ‘‘Oil, you little dear' thing, where did you come from, aud what is your name?” The pony tried to answer him in pony talk as best she could, but as long as Gilbert bad never had a pony before, he conld not quite understand this. So back into the house he ran. right into bis mother’s sewing room, almost into her arms. “Oh, mother, where did she come from? Do tell me quick.” he shouted, evidently forgetting his low home tout “W hat?” asked his mother. ing. The wagon was so low that Mrs Ames, In spite of her lameness, coulc get into it with out much trouble Gilbert took the longest way to tb< church, so that his passenger coulc enjoy the balmy spring air. “It is so nice to bo out of doors again,” she said, “and this is the Brsi time I’ve been out since fall.” At the church door Gilbert left Mrs. Ames in care of the sexton, telling him to take her up in front, since she was hard of hearing. Then he drove back home, to walk to church with the rest of the family. It was a beautiful Easter service. Everylliing went to make it so; the IiornI decorations, the music and the sweet story of the Resurrection the preacher told in so simple yet so im­ pressive a manner. All present en­ joyed the service, but none more than did .Mrs. Ames and Gilbert, she, be cause (his was her Iirst day at church for a whole year, and Gilbert because he bad been able to bring her there, then the fact that there was a pony all his own in the stable at home, ad­ ded not a little to his enjoyment, aud be could not help thinking of this- all the time, even if it was Sunday—yes, and Easter Sunday.—Observer. “ T h e Tomb Closed by a Stone.” We know that the door ot the Lord’s tomb was closed by a stone rolled be­ fore the opening. Such a stone was lately found. In a garden about a mile north ol the city there was seen a little hollow. A spade was used to deepen this hoi- M O S Q U S O F O M A R — C i t y o f J e r u s a l e m . out, and looking toward Gilbert, Wno had now drawn a chair up close to her and seated himself In it, answered, “But how can a poor old body like me creep to the church, which is a full half mile away? Why, it is as much as I can ao to creep across the room.” "But can't you ride?” asked Gilbert. “Sot w ithouta horse,” answered Mrs. lAmes. “That is so,” said Gilbert. “And it is jnst a mean shame, it is, that even when there are so many horses Iq the ciiy, there is not of ’em to take you to church.” “But we won’t talk about that now,” said Mrs. Ames. I shouldn’t have spoken about this, but you see you made me, and I am afraid that yon Will be thinking that I don't half ap­ preciate w hat yon have brought, but I do. yes, I do. Wlint an angel your 'mother is to remember me in this way.” “If she is an angel,” said Gilbert, “I guess I will be getting home, to her before she flies away.” “Will you take the , basket back?” asked Mrs. Ames. “I might as well,” answered Gilbert. Then he began to help Mrs. Amcs un­ pack jt. All the way home Gilbert was try­ ing to discover some plan by which to get Mrs. Ames to church upon the next day. “I never heard her say be­ fore that she wanted anything,” he mused, “and now that she has spoken her mind, it is too bad I. cannot get the thing she wants. It is funny, too. that one who w ants to go to church so 4 M hy1 the pony.” “Grandpa sent it to yon,” replied the mother. “How do you like it?” “Like it!” exclaimed Gilbert, “why no one could have given me a single thing that I would like half so well. Don't you want a ride right off?” “I think I will wait a few days, thank yon,” said Mrs. Dennis. “But I can’t wait,” said Gilbert, so back to the stable he went, and soon had the pony harnessed to the wagon. He had learned how to harness a horse when he was ou Uncle Fred’s farm last summer, end he now had no trouble In haniessing “his own horse,” as he had already begun to call his pony. He then drove out of the stable, along ‘he road in front of the window where his mother was, so that she could see him. She nodded to him pleasantly and waved her hand, and he gathered the reins in one hand so that he could wave tack. Then he drove down the street. And where did he go? Ah, he went to the first place he had thought of going when he had first realized that he had a pony of his own, and that was to call upon Mrs. Ames. She did not live far off, but it took him a long, long time to reach her house. Why did it? Simply because he met so many boys and girls he knew, aud I - r keep stopping and telling all wln.iv Ls got the pony. Af­ ter awhile he met Will White, his chum, and gave him a ride, allowing him to drive a part of the way. When he reached Mrs. Ames’ home be saw her at the window eating oue of the apples he had just carried her. Here, Will, hold the reins,” he said, as he stopped his pony In front of the house; “I have an errand here.” Mrs. Ames, who had seen him com­ ing, met him at the door. “Here’s the conveyance that is to take you to church to-morrow,” he said, pointing tow ard his new present. “Why! why! why!” was all that JIrs Ames could say, but when she noticed that G ilberfw as waiting for her an­ swer, she said, “at ten o’clock.” - Then she went back into the house to see if her Sunday clothes needed any mending, and Gilbert and Will drove off, choosing the longest way- home for the sake of the ride. Gilbert drove up again in front of the little white house the next morn- low, and a tomb was found, into which the earth had been falling. The stone of this door was rounded on the edges so that it would roll, and on the nearly at front of it was some­ thing written. This w riting is what is called Cufic, but ou one has been able to read it. The tomb was cut iut of the rock, and we m ust go down a few steps to enter. So Peter and John and Mary are all said to have “stooped down and looked into the sepulcher.” The floor was so cut that there was a seat left on the side, and in the mid­ dle a table-w as left about six feet by three feet, and rising two feet above the floor. On this the body, would be laid, rolled In linen with fragrant herbs, and on the seat the friends would sit when they made daily visits. After a time the body would be placed in a cavity, and then the cavity would be closed with masonry. Somewhat like this m ust have been the tomb of Joseph In his garden, and on some such table the b,ody of the Lord was laid. The stone w as then put in place, and was sealed by a cord fastened w ith w ax to the stone and the wall. Then all w as still until the Divine saying w as fulfilled: “After two days will H e revive us; in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live In His sight.” This w as the victory of life over death, of gcod over evil. So did our Lord show that He is “the resurrec­ tion and the life.”—Youth 3 Companion. The Eaqter Birtll.

London, By Cabie.-s-There is as yet no news of a naval battle in the far East or of the whereabouts of the ri­ val fleets. The Hong Kong correspond dent of the Daily Mail sends a rumor of a small engagement, but there is no confirmation of this report. Details regarding the Russian ships in Kam- ranh Bay, Cochin-China, are too mea­ gre to be instructive. According to the Daily MaiTsxSingapore correspondent, ,the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich-saw five battleships and six cruisers in the bay, but dispatches to others Of the London morning news­ papers are ^iot so precise. The presence of the Russian squad­ ron off the Annam coast is raising keen interest here, in view of the pos­ sibility of their infringement of Chi- aese neutrality and the lilclihood of Rojesvensky having to split his squad­ ron. The Morning Post’s correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs that China has instructed the Governors of the South­ ern provinces to maintain strict neu­ trality, in the view of the Russian ships sheltering there. Tokio, By Cable.—The following offi­ cial announcement was made today: “The force advancing north from Singking, driving the enemy before them occupied Yengcheng, thirty-eight miles north of Singking. at I o’clock on the afternoon of April 14. “A detachment of the same force, co­ operating with the cavalry, occupied Pachiatzu, at 6 o’clock of the evening of the same day. The enemy’s force near PachiaIzu consisted of seven so- tnias of cavalry and one battery of ar­ tillery. “They first retreated north towards Yinecheng, then came back to Pach- ialzu. Finding it occupied they were thrown into great confusion and re­ treated in great disorder over Peling Pass, two miles north of Pachialzu. “There is no change elsewhere.” * Expects F ight Soon. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—There is no information'from Vice Admiral Ro- jestvensky’s squadron, but the admir­ alty would not be surprised to learn of skirmishing between scout ships to­ day or tomorrow, and the inauguration of torpedo boat warfare soon is not unexpected. The naval organ here expresses the opinion that Togo was taken completely by surprise when Rcjestvensky suddenly appeared at the entrance Cf the China Sea, and is now concentrating his widely scatter­ ed fleet near the Pescadores, where it is believed a sea fight will probably occur.

Patterson has JW t oil! the following appeal to the farm ers of North Carolina: “To the Cotton Farm ers of North Carolina: So much has been said and done—and wisely—to convince the cotton farm ers of the South of the ad­ vantage to themselves of growing less cotton in 1905 than WaS grSWfl iil 1904, there seems little necessity of saying more; And yflt the subject is of sucfi vast importance, so fraught with weal or woe of their m aterial interests, I beg permission of the North Carolina farmers to make one last appeal to them to stand solidly together in sup­ port of the resolutions of the New Or­ leans Convention. “It has bflen Stated tim e and again. —and this statem ent is true—that the small crop of cotton brings more mon­ ey, not only per pound, but in gross amount, than the large crop. “Last year’s record breaking crop may prove an exception to this rule, if prices advance, or even remain at present figures. But if the government report in June shall show no m aterial reduction of acreage, present prices cannot be maintained. “There are many estim ates, differ­ ing widely, of amount of American Cotton needed for the world’s supply. I give what seems to be a conservative one: “Europe will need at least 7,300,000 bales; United States and Canada, 4,- 300,000 bales; Japan and Mexico, 300,- 000 bales. Total consumption, 11,300,- 000 bales of American cotton, “Suppose 12,000,000 bales can be, handled by spinners, a surplus of one and one-half millions still rem ains to depress the market, unless it can be protected by the executive committee of the Cotton Growers’ Association. Still this one an d ' a half million bales, carried over into next year’s crop, if that crop is a large one, will utterly demoralize prices. If the gov­ ernm ent report shall show another 30,000,000-acre crop, we may expect this panic in prices, and no power on earth can prevent i t The greatest factors now—the only ones, as I see it—m aintaining present prices, are the New Orleans resolutions to reduce acreage and the hold of the executive 'com m ittee on the present surplus: “The farm ers have never been In such an independent position for re­ ducing cotton acreage. Plant corn, peanuts, chufas, cow peas, make for­ age crops, for sale, let the land be idle and save fertilizer bills—anything, to prevent such unwieldy cotton sur­ plus. It will be better for the individ­ ual farm er it will be better for the farm ers at large. “I make this appeal with all the earnestness of deep conviction, and to all the cotton farm ers of the State, w htether or not they belong to the As­ sociation. “The greatest obstacle in the way, of united action is the apprehension among the farm ers themselves that they will not all hold together. If each individual farm er will hold together the whole bcdy will take care of it­ self. The man who will deliberately seek to take advantage of his fellows in this crisis, and, while they are striv­ ing for the common good, to advance his selfish interests, is untrue to the cause and unworthy the fellowship ol gcod men. “It is not worth while to prolong this letter, but in all seriousness and sincerity I appeal to the farm ers to cut down their cotton .acreage at least 25 per cent., and hereafter to continue to diversify their crops.

The rear guard, which was estimated at 12,(00 men, continued in the vicinity of H arlung Cheng, closely in touch w ith the Jap­ anese vanguard. The main force, which retired from Kalyunii, over the Kirin road, was reported at Iviriu with /I rear guard of S000 men, at Itsuchow, Haklusn, and at Sulipao, keeping in touch w ith the Japanese forces.

St. reiersburg, Russia.—In receiving a delegation Cf workmen from Moscow, Finance M inister Ivokovsoif gave notice to the workmen of Russia that a Gov­ ernment commission w as formulating legislation to remedy the greater part of their grievances, including Stale in­ surance against sickness, accident ami age. and for shortening the hours of labor, abolishing the prohibition of uuious and criminal punishm ent for strikes, and for the establishment of an industrial court in which employers and employes shall be represented. This interview with the M inister of Finance, lasiing an hour and a half, is another indication of the general con­ ciliatory spirit of Ihe Government. The evident desire to cure, wherever pos­ sible. the maladies of the empire was manifested by the peasant commission, the Finnish and Polish concessions, and the establishment of the Bouligaii commission. The Government throughout fakes the stand that all these reforms are too great to be lightly or hastily handled, iind that prem ature and ill-considered legislation would be worse than none at nil. It appeals to the dissatisfied to give their rulers a full and fair chance to accomplish the legislation they de­ mand. Developments, however, all point to a crisis In the present agitation among the workmen of the cities aud the peasants in tile country on May Day. \ud appeals are pouring In from all .uariers of Russia for military pro­ tection. Tlie St. Petersburg workmen are pre­ paring a great demonstration. A nns tiid bombs in large quantities have been smuggled in, and bloodshed on a arge scale is feared. IYcaithy per­ sons who ordinarily go to villas on ilie islands of the Neva or to neighboring country places this year are going abroad. The Government lias taken, few spe- al measures to meet the situation., evi­ dently relying on the troops and police to guard the capital. Tlie news received from the interior is ainrmiug, especially from the Baltic Provinces, where the entire popula­ tion is in a state of Intense excitement. The cities are being flooded w ith revo­ lutionary proclamations calling on the ieople to rise on May Day. The crini- nal classes are taking advantage of the iailon to pillage aud plunder, while in the country the landlords are power- 3 to cope with the peasants, and de­ mand the stationing of troops at every slaiion. ty fe lgJO R.

He goes back to his home with his duty well and nobly done, taking the universal respect and admiration ef a kindred nation and his own.” Thus concluded Lord Chancellor H alsbury’s tribute at parting with American Ambassador Choate, who re­ cently was uniquely distinguished by election as a member of the Middle Temple, who w as honored by the greatest gathering of the kind of the bench and bar in the history of the Inns of court. The Attorney-General, Sir R. B. Fin­ lay, seconded the toast, saying: “This is no ordinary occasion. Never has a worthier man occupied the post of Ambassador to G reat Britain, and none has carried away deeper affec­ tion. Never was there a more wel­ come guest a t tlie Inns than this con­ summate advocate, great diplomatist and genial man of the World.” The assembly was au extraordin­ ary one in character, and numbered nearly 400 members of the bench and bar, including almost every Jeading Justice and barrister in England. Kr. Choate sat between Lord Halsbury and Lord M acnagkten, Lord of' Appeal In Ordinary. Ranged on both sides were the venerable Privy Councilors,- each w earing his decorations and orders. Other notable personages present were Lord Alverstone, Lord Chief Jus­ tice; Sir Richard Heim Collins, M aster ot the Rolls; Viscounts Kuutsford and Llandaff, Lords Jam es of Hereford aud Dnuboyne, H. H. Asquith, former­ ly Home Secretary, and ail the mem­ bers of the American Embassy. . The great dining hall of the Sliddle Temple is a vast oaken chamber, its high roof supported by heavy beams, the sides of the walls paneiled with in­ sets of coats of arms, its windows of stained glass.. At one end of the halt is AYaifs masterpiece of fresco, “Leg-' islation,” representing lawmakers from the time of Moses. A t the other end is a screened musi­ cians’ gallery, ornamented with carved, life-sized figures. It was occupied by a few select women guests, not dining, but simply looking on. On high mov­ able pedestals huge roasts were carved, before the guests by the Inns carver perched above the assembly. The entire scene had a strange, but delightful, Old W orld air. As the- guests took their places they rem ained standing until tile Lord Chaucellor had. pronounced grace, “Beuedictus, beue- dictani.” The first toast was drunk after the simple words, “The King.” The sec­ ond, pronounced by the Lord Chancel­ lor. was “The President, the great M agistrate of a great Nation.” Mr. Choate arose, Iookiug somewhat .pale after his recent illness. He w as greeted with prolonged but dignified applause. He spoke at considerable- length, addressing the assembly a s "Brothers all.” H e said in part: “ Words cannot express my gratitude- for this unique and overwhelming: honor. For au American lawyer to ba­ the guest of the bench aud bar of Eng­ land on au occasion graced by the ap­ plauding presence of so many of their- most distinguished members overcomes Inm with a sense of his own uuworthi- ness. I cau only suppose that in my person and over my head you intend, an unexampled honor to the country I represent. I thank you all from the bottom oL' my heart. I am especially grateful to my friend, the Lord Chan­ cel !or.” Air. Choate paid tributes to his per­ sona! friends, Lord Chancellor H als- bury aud Lord Chief Justic-a Alver- sloiic, and said that the new diplomacy to which the'Lord Chancellor had said, he belonged had made his task hero, easy. The men w ith whom he had bad to deal at the Foreign Office, the Iato Lord Salisbury and Lord Lansdowne, were both of that school, saying w hat they m eant and meaning w hat they said. He had always found them anx­ ious to m aintain the friendliest rela­ tions, always willing to meet America half way, aud never with a card up their sleeves. H is task had been easy because there were Queen Victoria and King Edward on one side and President Mc­ Kinley aiid President Roosevelt on the other. The English people and Ameri­ cans were ever determined to bs friends. BROOKLYN WOMAN FOUND. o. Kj HU USE FAILS.JocL Uso Ptf IMS. M n. E. W. W eaver Suffering From Dementia in Pennsylvania.

There are no fairer set of men on earth than the doctors, and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an eminent practitioner, one of the good old school, who lives In Texas. H is plain, un­ varnished tale needs no dressing up: “I had always had an intense preju­ dice, which I can now see w as unwar­ rantable and unreasonable, against ail muchly advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the many ’ads.’ of Grape-Nuts, iior tested the food till last winter. “W hile in Corpus Christi for my health, and visiting my youngest son, who has four of the ruddiest, health­ iest Hffie hoys I ever saw, I ate my first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup­ per with my ljtlle grandsons. I be­ came exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a package of it every week since, and find it a delicious, refreshing and strengthening food, leaving no ill ef­ fects whatever, causing no eructations (with which I was formerly much troubled), no sense .of fullness, nausea, nor distress of stomach in any way. “There Is no other food, that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly upon my stomach, as this does. I am stronger and more active since I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have been for ten years, and am no longer troubled with nausea and in­ digestion."

Paris, By Cable.—Acting upon in* Etnictions from his government, Br. Motono. the Japanese m inister to France, called on Foreign M inister Del Casse this evening and submitted rep* rcsen tat ions 011 behalf of Japan com cerning the presence of the Russian Pacific squadron in Kamhanh Bay. Aa official communication issued after the meeting states that M inister Monoto’a communication had no character of & formal protest against an alleged vio­ lation of neutrality, but "was to ob­ tain assurances that France would ob­ serve strict neutrality. The exact term s of Japan’s repre­ sentation has not been disclosed, but it is understood, while having the us* ual courteous form of diplomacy, they set forth that serious apprehensions had been aroused by the stay of the Russian warships in Kamranh Bayr and that^urgent desire that French neutrality.be placed beyond doubt. The terms of the French responses, although not given out, teud to give ample assurances upon all the ques­ tions raised. Besides these general assurances, the conference doubtless permitted of the explanation of the French point of view concerning the stay of Russian warships in Kamranh Bay. It is maintained that this was at most a brief sojourn, and not a prolonged slay, official information leading to the belief that the squadron actually left Kamranh Bay last Sunday. No Japan­ ese ships were in the vicinity during the stay of Ihe Russian squadron, and, therefore, it is held, it bad not the character of giving asylum to a belli­ gerent against the attack of the ene­ my. It remains for Tokio, to which the French reply was sent, to say wheth­ er the assurances are considered suf­ ficient. The opinion prevails here that M. Del Casse’s answer is of a nature to prevent serious complica­ tions. However, the attitude of Soci­ alist deputies promises to bring up the entire question before the cham: her. M. Presens, one of Jaures’ chief lieutenants, has given notice of his intention to question the government WARRANT ISSUED lO stofflce In sp ecto r S w ears O ut W ar­ ra n ts on F ederal C harge.

No doubt is 'en­ tertained that the admiral will carry out the formal instructions sent to him.” Facts Not Established. St. Petersburg, Bv Cable.—The fol­ lowing sfatement on the subject of Ivamranh Bay has been made: “If Rojestvenskv is still at Kam- ranh Bay, ho will remain outside the three-mile limit as he did during’his long stay, off Madagascar. Naturally, Japan will file a caveat, itist as slie would file one with the United States H R o jestVensky shOiild approach the Philippines. Japan's protest is in the nature of a warning.

The end eame peacefully A pardon was granted by Governor Glenn for Ernest Porter, sentenced from New Hanover county in 1903, to serve two years for seduction under promise of marriage. He is pardoned because since the trial, it has been found that the prosecutrix was not a moral woman anil knew that Porter was a married man at the time of the alleged seduction. These facts were not brought out a t the trial and the judge joined in the request for pardon. The father of the prosecutrix also ask­ ed for the pardon. The State Department of Insurance, J.

W eekly Cfop M lle tih i for week end­ ing Monday, April ITtUj 1995:—Monday ihd Tuesday were warm and dry and favorable for farm work which was resumed with vigor; the rem ainder of the past week, however, was decidedly unfavorable, both for work and the growth of vegetation on account of the frequent and heavy rains from the 12th to the end' of the week; aiid generally low tem perature which chilled tho ground. The cold, soggy soil is unfit to be plowed, and unfavorable for rap­ id growth or the germination of seeds. The tem perature exceeded 80 degrees on the IOth and 11th, but was so low the balance Of the week, that the mean avfiraged fifiafily 2 degrees bfeioW the nbrmai.- Freeziiig tem peratures occur­ red Monday morning (i7th) in Central and W estern N orth Carolina; what damage has resulted m ust be reported in the next crop bulletin; unquestion­ ably the injury to fruit of all kinds, truck crops and strawberries m ust have been considerable. The rains from Wednesday on were quite heavy in some counties, washing land some, and generally Causing a complete suspen­ sion 6 f fariH wbfli. The precipitation this week averaged over 2.00 above nor­ mal; W armer dry aiid sunny weather is much needed. Very little cotton land has been pre­ pared as yfet, aiid the amount of fer­ tilizer used is smaller than usual; only small patches of cotton have been sown in the extreme southern portion. A large am ount of land is needed for corn, but progress in planting has been slow; the acreage in corn will be quite large; but, Hf efeurse, the bulk 6f the crop iias not yet been planted, though a few reports from the southeastern counties state that planting has been finished; early planted corn came up to fairly good stands, but late planted is germinating slowly. Tobacco plants are rather IdtSj and Small, but seem to be in good condition otherwise. Re­ ports on the condition of w inter wheat, oats and rye continue to be extremely favorable; in some sections these crops are reported the best in many years; in others, however, though the plants show very green and vigorous, it is feared that abundant rains are causing. able to live on pastures in the west. ■ So far, truck crops have done well; Irish potatoes are coming up nicely and generally to good stands; prospects for early peas are good; cabbage plants have mostly been set. Shipments of lettuce and radishes have been large, and the shipment of berries is just Iifeginnltig1 The frost/londay is like­ ly to have caused a severe set back to truck crops, strawberries and gardens. Up to Monday the prospects for fruit, especially apples, was still favorabble: many peaches and other fruits are so well set that perhaps the anticipated damage by cold m ay not be serious. Pennsylvania’s Appreciation. Governor Glenn a short tim e ago sent at their request a set of the North Carolina Regimental Histories to Post No. I, Philadelphia, Grand Army of the Republic, the Post expressing the sentim ent that they regarded the North Carolina troops as the bravest they met during the war, and that they were anxious to have an authentic his­ tory of their deeds.

Numerous short ad­ dresses will be delivered by men who are to take part, in the campaign, an$ others. An edticatidh&l conference will be held to consider 6 tif education­ al interests. The great educational raly of this day will be a m ost signifi­ cant feature of the meeting. As. soon as the changed plan of the assembly was announced early in the year, unusual interest was manifested in the meeting, and this interest has continued to increase. The Charlotte city schools have just m ade' attendance on the assembly equivalent to attendance on a sum­ mer school, and some of the other cities of the State will likely make the same recognition of the Assembly within the next few days. A great many teachers from all pafts of the State has already w ritten saying that they will be present, and those who expect to attend and have not w ritten, should w rite at once to the Secretary, Mr. W. D. Carmichael, a t Durham. It is im portant that this he done. The m eeting will assuredly be an un­ usual opportunity for the teachers of N orth Carolina, aiid no progressive teacher within the borders of the State can afford to miss it. It seems now that the teachers of North Carolina will assemble at Qreensboro in the greatest profession­ al gathering ever held in a Southern State. Their deliberations- will mean much to the educational life of our commonwealth, and the m eeting will attract attention far beyond the bor­ ders of th e State. - C A H E i n T L E G A l Attorney General Renders OpinioTT Upholding Administration.

It Is stated in W ashington that un­ der the Townsend rate bill if a rate is Bxed by the commission it cannot be lowered by a railroad.

H*itherto a maximum rate has been the rule, but no such concession is made under the proposed legislation. .Courting Bad Luck, There is an old superstition that it Is bad luck to burn a piece of bread. The origin of this is obvious, though probably few indeed of those who re? Ilgiously adhere to : the superstition have paused to think that it dates from those times’ wheii famines were part of the regular order of life. Fam ine no longer troubles the im agination of men; but the broad truth under the foolish superstition rem ains. Burning bread isn't any more likely to bring bad iuck than w asting it in another way. But wast­ ing anything In any way is extreme provocation to w hat we call “bad luck.” If the grown people who habi­ tually waste, do not suffer for it their children surely will—for they will follow the example set them, and rare indeed is it that a family can survive the faults of tw o successive wasteful generations. W aste is not generosity; thrift is not stinginess. There are millions of Americans, especially among the poor and the not-too-well-off, who seem to think so. A thorough inves­ tigation would place at the head of the list of causes of poverty: “W aste­ fulness inherited from w asteful' par­ ents.”—Saturday Evening Post. .

ADMIRAL TOGO IN READINESS 9apauc8.fi ’ ComniAmIfer H es in Wait For the Czar’s Armada — France ^ot Stroag XSnougIi to Foroa Her Neutrality, B at' Sends TTrgeut m es­ sage to Si. Petersburg. , Tolcio, Japan.—France has informed this Government that it has taken all- necessary measures to prevent the Rus­ sian Baltic fleet from remaining any longer in French territorial waters. It has been assumed here that this'effort by France is in the form of a message to St. Petersburg requesting the de­ parture of the hostile squadron from Kam ranh Bay immediately. The war­ ships of France in the China Sea, it has beeti recognized here, are not pow- ferful enough to enforce neutrality. Two cruisers, a gunboat and five tor­ pedo boats constitute the French navy on the coast of Aunam, and Xokio un­ derstands th at the French M inistry has not the physical power at this time to enforce its sovereignty. A fqrmal request to Bussia, however, if made, as is intim ated by cable here, would bring the situation to a crisis. Should KoJestveusky decline to sail from Kam* i-anh and Callao bays and thus defy the power of France, there would be no reason why Japan should not attack, the Bussian fleet in the harbors of French Indo-China. " The Tokio Government had directly requested that France observe neu­ trality, and w as wholly satisfied With the intiniation from Mi DelcaSse that ilussisi lias been informed hei? hostile fleet has remained too long in the "har­ bor’s of Annam. The Japanese Foreign D epartm ent sent to Paris direct proof that several battleships and cruisers had been for three days well within the three-mile limit. M. Delcasse was courteously told th at the Ffench offi­ cials iii the Province of Annam could- confirm this statem ent by cable. This message to France was followed by one to London identical in charac­ ter, but it was understood that Baron H yashi requested the English Admir­ alty Departm ent to send- its British China squadron to the coast of Annam, so that plain observance m ight be had of the breach of neutrality should the Eussian squadron continue to remain in French territorial waters, The in­ sistence of Japan that the Russian squadron m ust depart has aroused great enthusiasm in Tokio, not because of the diplomatic phase of the subject, blit because it made certain the belief th at Admiral Togo was ready to strike, and simply w anted to force the Rus­ sian ships out into the China Sea. Once Rojestvensliy w as forced to sail from Iiam ranh and Callao bays, the sea fight could not be long delayed. He could go southeast, of course, to one of the Philippine Island -ports, where, however, he would be perm itted-to re­ main only a short time. He could go northeast to Hong Kong, a British port, where strict neutrality also would be. observed. Froin either a Philippine or British port he would be a t once re­ ported to the Japanese uftvy, and on his departure would be subject at once to attack. It was unofficially reported here that Rojestvensky has sailed with all his ships on a course southeast, which would bring him between the Paracels Islands and the Philippines. This ru­ mor came from responsible officials in the Im perial Navy D epartment, but could not be confirmed. Asked directly the question whether Rojestvensky’s squadron had departed from Kamrarih Bay, Baron Kosako an­ swered by saying the ships w ere in the harbor a t 10 o’clock in the morning. Paris, France.—As a result of com­ munications between the governments in Paris and St. Petersburg, the Rus­ sian M inister of Marine forwarded urg­ ent orders to Admiral Rojestvensky tq. rigorously rcspect the neutrality of French waters. This was a precaution­ ary measure. In addition special in­ structions have been sent to the Gov­ ernor-General of Indo-China, M. Beau, and Foreign M inister Deldasse instruct­ ed the French M inister a t Tokio to give the Japanese M inister for For­ eign Affairs assurance that it was France’s purpose to preserve strict neu­ trality, these being similar to the as­ surances given to Dr. Motono, the Jap­ anese M inister in Paris.

Montreal} Quebec.—Foui1 teen lives were lost in a fire which early in the morning destroyed the little convent of St. Anne, in the village of St. Gene­ vieve. Sister Marie Adjeteur, music mistress of -the convent, sacrificed her life in attem pting to rescue the young girl pupils, nine of whom perished with four aged women. Sister Marie Robertine and Sistier Marie Therese of Jesus were badly burned. AU of the old women who were lost in the fire were too feeble to leave their beds, and were burned to death without being able to help themselves. The flames started in the quarter of the convent used as a home- for aged women of the village, and- spread with such rapidity that there was little time for anybody to escape. The brave sisters dashed through the halls risking death to save their charges. The chil­ dren who perished were penned in the dormitory and had been overcome by smoke when the sisters forced their way to the rescue. Sister Marirf Adje- i:eur w as found In the centre of the group of bodies of the nine pupils on the second floor of the building. The other two sisters were found in the halls by volunteer firemen of the vil­ lage and- were carried out almost dead. The convent w as a branch of the Order of the Sisters of St. Anne of Lachinei and was built m any years ago. Its gray stone walls and massive construction made it an interesting, place to visitors to the little village of St. Genevieve. The village is in the parish of Jacques Cartier County, on Reviei'g des Prairies, three miles from Beaconsfield (ind five miles from Pointe Claire. W hen the fire broke out short­ ly after m idnight the inmates of the convent were sleeping. On the first floor was*tlie hospice for old women, one of whom gave the first alarm. The Dames spread from floor to floor w ith Unaccountable rapidity, for the building was supposed to be construct­ ed in such a w ay that it would resist fire. The dormitory on the second floor had thirty girl pupils, in ages from eight to eighteen years. Tbe sisters’ sleeping rooms were on the same floor. Frightful excitement .followed the alarm. The flames spread to the dormi­ tory before the ,children could reach the halls. The little ones were huddled a t one of the windows when the sisters broke into the room. In terror they shrieked to the latter to save them. M any times the sisters ran back and forth to the dormitory, rescuing chil­ dren until the flames drove out all but Sisters Marie Adjeteur, Marie Therese and M arie Robertine, who plunged into the furnace to save the nine little ones. Sister M arie Adjeteur had the group of nine about her when, overcome by smoke, she dropped and perished with them. The other two sisters groped their way out of the dormitory, but fell, in the ljall. Bucket brigades were formed by vil­ lagers, but their efforts were unavail­ ing. Attempts were made to connect by telephone w ith St. Claire, but for some reason the town could not be raised, and the hope of summoning aid from Montreal had to be abandoned. The convent burned until there was nothing left but its picturesque stone walls, which stand blackened and gaunt. The bodies of the fourteen were recovered by men who risked their lives to get them. NAVY DISPLAY FOR PAUL JONES. Squadron of W arships to Bring His Body to the United States. Paris, France.—The State Depart­ ment has advised Ambassador Porter that an American squadron will be sent to take the body of Paul Jones to the United States, probably in June. It is expected th at the French Government will participate in an imposing funeral pageant when the body leaves Paris. Detailed plans have not yet been made, but it probably w ill-take place just before the Franch national holiday, July 14. Large forces of S’rench sol­ diers and sailors will form the escort. The following cable messages have been exchanged: Admiral Dewey to Ambassador Por­ ter:“ ‘Cordial congratulations upon the wonderful results of your search.— George Dewey, Admiral United States Navy.’ ” ‘Ambassador Porter to Admiral Dewey: “ ‘Happy to receive congratulations concerning the father of the American Navy from his most illustrious succes­ sor.’ ” COLLEGE BUILDING BURNED.

Nashville, Tenn.—The main building of Vanderbilt University, the leading educational institution of the Metho­ dist Episcopal Church South, w as de­ stroyed by fire, the loss being estimated a t $200,000. . V Owing to an inadequate w ater supply and a strong wind the structure could not be saved.

R e c o m m e n d s P e - r u - n a Senor Qnesada3 Guban Mlnisisr to the United States. #Senor Quesada, Cuban Minister to the United States, is an orator born. In an article in The Outlook for July, 1899, by George Kennanj who heard Quesada speak at the Esteban Xheatrej Matanzas7 Cuba, he said: “I have seen many audiences under the spell of eloquent speech and in the grip of strong emotional excitement; but I have rarely. witnessed such a scene, as at the close of Quesada’s eulogy upon the dead patriot, Marti.” In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Oompanjr, written from Washington, D. C., Senor Quesada says: “Peruna I can recommend as a very good medicine. It is an excellent strengthening tonic, and it is also an efficacious cure for the almost universal complaint of catarrh.” Gonzalo De Quesada. _ - Congressman J . H.
