Itirill I In 1891 the principal agricultural products were worth about nine hundred million more than they were in 1895, under Cleveland, and no wars under either. Explain it? Why, Colonel^ a Democrat in 1895 and 1896 could not look a sheep in the lace without blushing, for the destruction of the .sheep and woolen industry of our .country, and the farmers, the priees.of whose products you had destroyed rase up in .1896 and. hurled yon from power, and .today, nationally, yon are without a party. How we want to touch up the last part of the article on county affairs. How, Colonel, you were indeed generous to give the Repub licans 75 committeemen,39 of whom are negroes, for negro schools, and we did not ask you for one, either —white or black,—39 negroes that yon count to the Republicans when your registrars only ,allowed about 20 to register and vote, What we complained ct was that you are de priving the people of the right to elect these school officers them' selves instead of your crowd elect ing them at Raleigh. Howas to the juries. You, or some of your crowd made the same charge in your fight ou Advance before the last legislature and it was proven false by a certified list from the clerk’s office, and even if it were true you are only getting your own medicine. Gue .of the troubles in this .county .is that you are hopelessly iu the minority. The editor of the Record does not live in a glass honse and throws stones only when he thinks they are de served, and will continue to pitch them UDtil the people are given their rights in this boasted free land of ours.

MANY NEW CASES DEVELOP DAILY Twenty-Six New Cases Are Reported and Number of Deaths Grows, but the Men of Science Still Think the Situation Not Beyond Control—All But Two of New Cases Italians. New Orleans, (Special.)—New cases reported up to 6 p. m. Sunday, 27. Total cases to date, 283. Death to-day, 3. Deaths to date, 57. New foci, 4. Total foci, 41. Of the deaths, one occurred at the Emergency Hospital and was one of the cases transferred there. That insti tution now has 19 cases under treat ment and discharged its first patient as cured. The State board of health divided the State into districts, comprising half a dozen parishes each, with a medical Inspector in charge of each, and will immediately investigate all rumors of yellow fever cases which come to light outside of New Orleans and that part of the State which is now included in the city for quarantine purposes. There is no foundation for the re port of the case near Borgan City and that the body and house had been burned. It has been thoroughly investi gated. Although the unofficial reports made public showed a larger number of yellow fever deaths than Friday, when there were only two, and the appearance of a number of new cases, the men of science who are warring against the yellow fever plague railed last week’s labors confident that the situation was still well in hand, and with no immediate prospects of becom ing alarming. Saturday’s official report of Friday’s progress of the disease shows that the entire quarter above Canal street was free from a single new case, and that the fever was only spreading in the poorer habitations of the down town quarter, with new cases isolated except Sn the heart of the French Market quarter. VICTIMS MOSTLY ITALIANS. The health authorities continue to hold also that the plague remains an Italian infection, all but two Cf tlie 2<i cases reported being of that national ity. Almost without exception since the beginning of the fever, those who have fallen victims to the disease have been <5f the poorer classes of the population, many of them not long residents of the United States, and, therefore, unacclimated. For several years the planters of XiOuisiana have been replacing the ne groes with Italian labor, and there has been a steady flow of immigration from Sicily and other parts of Italy to Louisiana. Many of the immigrants have remained in New Orleans, find ing employment in the peddling of fruit or in the work of unloading ves sels at the fruit wharves. It was among these that the fever first appeared, and to their lack of acclimation and the inadequacy of their treatment has been largely due the heavy mortality that has characterized the present vis itation of the scourge. Friday’s deaths have been principally of Italians. In two or more cases in the last two days deaths have been reported of persons who were only reported the day previously as having taken the fever. There have been concealed eas.es, which the emergency officers, with the assistance of surgeons, have disclosed. The first death in the Emergency Hospital occurred. The hospital was opened Friday with 13 cases, and an equal number was added Friday. Into the hospital are sent the worst cases of unfortunates found without com forts or medicinal attendance in their homes. COMMITTEE REPORTS. The Crop Estimate BSard Find That Hyde. Wiih Holmes Prompting Him, Made the Figures Lower Than the Facts at Hand Warranted. Washington, Special:—Assistant Sec retary Ha.ys uittde the following report to Secretary Wilson on the acreage of cotton in the Southern States in 1905, as compared with that planted in 1904: The crop estimating board Bf the Dfei partfnent of Agriculture has considered the report issued by the Bureau- of Statistics on June 2, relative to the acreage planted in cotton in the South ern States in 1905, as compared with that planted in 1904. attd IiSS con cluded: Mrst: That a new estimate should be made on acreage planted, and that the figures: in Mr. Hyde’s fcailds when making his estimate should be used as the basis. Second: That Mr. Hyde, with Mr. Holmes at his elbow, prompting him, made the estimate lower than thfe facts at his hand from tli6 KsjSorts from the seven el&feises Of reporters employed by the bureau warranted. Third: The board finds upon careful consideration of the reports of all classes ,of eoffSspondents and agents, that the acreage planted in cotton this year, including the entire season, should have been estimated at 85.1 per cent of that planted last year, equiv alent to a reduction in planted acre age as- compared with last year of 14.9S per cent, (instead of 11:4 per cent.) or 4,731,000 acres—the estimate of the total' acreage planted this year being SS,989,000 acres.The. estimated percentage of the de crease' in each of the cotton-growing States is as follows: Virginia 18; North Carolina 18; South Carolina 14; Geor gia 14; Florida 12; Alabama 11; Mis sissippi 16; Louisiana 17; Texas 16; Arkansas 19; Tennessee 13; Missouri 15; Oklahoma 15; Indian Territory 11. The averages were made for each State by each of the four members of the board, and the comparatively small disagreements were harmonized almost wholly by averaging, and the above results are fully agreed to by each and every member of the board.Bespectfnlly submitted, VICTOR OLMSTED, . STEPHEN D. FESSENDEN, GEORGE K. HOLMES, W. W. LONG, Crop Estimating Board. The above findings and report made under my supervision have my entire approval. W. M. HAYS. Assistant Secretary in Charge Bureair Statistics. Approved: JAMES WILSON, Secretary of Agriculture. Fall Trade Outlook Good. New York, Special. — Bradstreet :ays: "Crop reports and fall trade advices are more unanimously favorable than at any preceding time at this season. “Confidence in the crop situation is reflected by good fall orders and a volume of wholesale and retail trade certainly in excess of a year ago and fully equal to the average at this sea son. Special activity is noted in cot ton goods, which are in eager demand at high prices, with scarcity of desira ble makes widely reported. “Reports from the clothing lines and from lumber, hardware and the build ing material lines are generally satis factory. A heavy movement of winter wheat has helped collections and de veloped a little more activity in flour milling in the Southwest. The iron trade shows gpme quietness after the exceptional activity in pig* iron noted last week. “Business failures for the week end ing July 27 numbered 195, against 174 in the like week of 1904.” Young Man Drank Poison. Fredericksburg, Special. — Charlie Mitchel, a young man who came here recently from Richmond and has been employed on an ice wagon, attempted BuIcide by drinking laudanum. He was carried to the mayor’s office, where Brs. Barney and Ohewning relieved him. He was then committed to jail and is now in a normal condition. Johann Hooh Respited. Chicago, Special. — Johann Hoch, “Bluebeard” and- confessed bigamist, sentenced to be hanged Friday for poisoning one of his wives, was grant ed a reprieve until August 25th by Governor Deneen. The stay of exe cution followed hours of anxiety on the part of Hoch, who had never given up hope, and was allowed by the Governor only after the latter had been assured that the necessary sum to ap peal the case had been raised. The amount, $500, was given by an attor ney and friend of Hoch’s counsel. The attorney declared he was actuated purely by humanitarian motives. An Error in the Revised Cotton Report Washington, Special.—In the revised cotton report issued Thursday by the Department of Agriculture an error was committed in the second para graph which made it appear that the June estimate by Mr. Hyde was made lower than the facts st hand ■ war- S S tSflf ,^ hen* to fact, it was made u j v r* erroneous statementhad been corrected by the department. 23 Killed on Electric Railway. Liverpool, By Cable.—Au electric Jxpress train, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railroad, bound from Liver pool to Southport, collided with an • impty stationary train at Hall Road station, causing the death of twenty- three persons and the injurv of many others. The first car of the express, which was crowded, was smashed to pieces and only six of its occupants escaped. The road was recently given an el3c- tric equipment. Attempted Assassination S t Petersburg, By Cable.—A circum stantial report of an attempt on the life of Constantine Petrovitch Pobie- donostseff, chief procurator of the Holy Synod, is current in St. Peters burg Wednesday night; but the As sociated Press is unable to obtain con firmation of it.

Sanford, who killed George Wright, in Rome, Ga., says'he will be able to prove that Wright and Mrs. Sanford stayed at an Atlantic hotel several times as man and wife. The grand jury in Washington iu vestigating the cotton report scandal heard six witnesses yesterday, four of them being from New YrOrk.

So manj1 gen.ecations .ago; iiiiit ijnly ii vague. tradition survives; tiie island came into the possession of the Cary family, it is related that one of the present owner’s very remote ancestors, In a desperate battle, held his own shield over the head of his king and was himself severely wounded; Iil rpcogliitidri of tills service) I lie island was tonfcrred hpoil iiini and ills IieirS foreve?-. Tbe Calf of Man, like its mother, iiie Isle of Man, is inhabited by the strange race of the Manxinaii; It lias tile same breed of tailiesg Cats tiiai Srd the nninm' pi-odiidt oi tiie Isie of Man; but it inis iio representation in the House of Keyes nor is it governed by the Manx constitution. The Calf has a coast line of five miles. There are about DOO acres in tlie islands and ioO of tlieiU are under cul- tivrttioil. There are two lighthouses, which were erected and maintained by the British Government until a year ago, when Mr. Cary. In order to make his over-lordship complete, pur chased them, and has since maintained them at his own expense. There are farmhouses on tiie island and a castle. The population consists of some flfty odd soiiis; One of Mr-. Cary’s tenants is ati American million aire; The island lias passed down from father to son for generations. During the rule of the present owner’s father Gireat Britain made an attempt to tax the island. Mr. Cary had in his pos session the original deed exempting the island from taxation, and he went before Parliament and fought so suc cessfully that England acknowledged that this minute State was free and Independent. In order to be assured of non-inter ference on the part of his big neigh bor, Mr. Cary became a naturalized citiKen of the United States a year ago. We do not and will not pay taxes to anybody,” saitl the sovereign of the Calf. “We are free and independent, and my people are also free and independent. They do not pay taxe?"even to me. Great Britain has no sover eignly over my island.” The small principality which can be called an American possession only through the naturalization of its owner is not particularly strong either for offense or defense. Its navy consists' of a steam launch and half a dozen Ashing boats, and it has no army at all—not even a policeman. Mr. Cary settles all disputes that arise, but he has never had occasion to exercise the right of life or death over his subjects. Its revenue came only from the farm land, the fisheries, and the flocks of sheep and cattle, but these are consid erably eked out in the summer by the visitors who come over, occasionally, from the mainland of Man, 500 feet away. . Mr. Cary is a man of middle age, vitli iron-gray hair and mustache. Mrs. Cary: accompanies him ou his present trip here. The island is for sale. MtvCary says, as he is so fond of America that ha wants to settle here for good. MAYOR KILLED ARMED ENEMY. Alabaman Resented a Fine,. Wont Hunting, and Was Shot. Mobile, Ala.—B.

Abont 1874 Willjam Drysdale won a medal at a poultry show in Dudley, Staffordshire, England. The centei part of the medal consisted of a gold disc, on which the-winner's name was engraved. Mr. Drysdale’s son seems to have worn the disc and lost it whilst oil & visit to Ashington, in Northumberland, in 1894. Naturally he concluded he had seen the last ol it, but nearly ten years afterward a cod fish was caught off the mouth of the Wansbeck, in the stomach ol which was found the long missing disc. A Blyth gentleman who had now become the owner of it published an account of his find in a newspaper. This caught the eye of Kr. Drysdale’s son, who then applied for it as his property. His notion was that the disc must have been carried to sea with refuse and swallowed by the cod. Chinese in New York. There were 6,080 Chinese inhabi tants of New York, according to the last census, but tho popular estimate is that the actual number of China men is twice as large.

This tree • was planted by Mr. Irions about nine years ago, -is about twenty-five or thirty feet tall and is about nine inches in diameter. That is as tall as the average tree ever gets, but at ta great age trees some times reach a diameter of five feet.

A young man. named Vansevern was married a short time ago on his death bed at Conrtrai,' Belgium. He had asked his father’s consent to marry, and when it was withheld there was a violent quarrel, during which the father seized a gun and fired it at his son, mortally wounding him. When Vansevem was informed that his con dition was hopeless, he again asked his father’s consent, to his marriage, and the ceremony topic place in his bedroom. When it concluded the bride fainted, and a few minutes later the bridegroom died. ------------------------i. .

Saturday, August 5th, was a great day for our Cana friends. A large crowd was present and a most enjoyable day was spent. Early Saturday morning the good people surrounding Cana began to pour in, and by 11 o’clock a large and appreciative audience had as sembled. . Mr. Jacob Stewart delivered ;an educational,address after which the crowd repaired to the dinner table, wheretheypartookof thegood things prepared by ,the good ladies of Cana—and such a dinner it was! The table was loaded down with the choicest of viands, prepared as •these splendid Cana cooks so well know how, and after dinner the crowd reassembled, and after list ening to some choice mnsie on Mr. J. W. Etchison’s gtaphophone, the editor made a short talk, which was followed by a game of ball by the Cana and Smith Grove teams! That night Mr. G. C- Patterson made a short speech, and the most successful educational picnic held at Cana for years came to an end. We expect much good to result from the efforts put forth by Rev. G. L, Reynolds in.behalf of a good school at Cana. Thepeo pie seem interested, and there is no reason why Cana should- not have one of the best preparatory schools the county. Foreign Trade Records Broken During, the last fiscal year all previous records of both exports and imports, and consequently of our total foreign trade, were brok en. Eor the . first time in a fiscal year our exports exceeded $1,500,- 000,000, the exact figures being $1,518,462,833. O ur im p o rts amounted to $1,117,507,500, leav ing a favoroble balance of 490,955,- 331. And yet our' Eree-Traders are bawling for revision or reci procity to increase our foreign trade. Au increase of $126,000,000 in im ports is quite enough, while an in crease of $57,000,000,.in exports is under the circumstaces very satis factory. So long as we can con tinue to increase our exports with out sacrificing any of our home markets well and good, but if to gain foreign markets we must open our own to the cheap labor of the world we shall find we have adopt ed a policy that is suicidal. Let us continue to let well euough alone. — Economist. W anted —good reason why ev erybody in Davie county shouldn’t read the Courier.—MocksvilleCon rier. Why, Colonel, they can’t, for the first reason, and the next best, is that so many read the Record, and a great many the IMmes.

Andin our possession there is a record of our prayer meeting soci ety that was organized iu 1863, with the list of the names, and while it is said the wicked shall not live out half his days, "we find that out of 33 of the Rowan boys on this list, 21 are still living. Has Providence blessed them vyith longer life than others? We believe a majority of them are Republicans. We see that the Dems are so badly beaten over ,this great Re publican prosperity' that they hard ly know what to say, j'et they want to say something. It is clear that they are on their heels; but while they run they shoot back over their shoulders; hence we need not be surprised at their wild shots. Just recently vre-heard the bang at our prosperity; comparing Cleveland times with the present- administra tion. Now Observer has been an observer for some time, and he has looked on both sides. When Gro ver was first elected, we were in the crowd, and-an eye-witness to the grand old time had'in Salisbury over “Our Grover.” It looked as if peace aud prosperity might flow through our country like a river, but we were sorely disappointed we observed, and observed, until they had played thunder with the financial interests and prosperity of our country; we found .that something must be done, ,or ,our country ruined; so we left their ranks and have been comparatively happy ever since. Any man can see that when they try to compare Cleveland prosperity with the pres ent it is a wild shot. They had run us down so badly that it took the right men at the helm sometime to bring us back to a normal condi tion; but we cannot expect mueh better trom those who are retreat ing in a disordered.condition.

HI l Ir P r ft NmI' Popular and Useful Oeorgian Passes From Labor fo Reward A LEADER OF SOUTHERN PROGRESS One of the Most Potent Factors in Up-Building Georgia and Its Pres ent Capital After the Civil War DiesofCarhuncle Complicated With Diabetes at the Age of 66—Confed erate Soldier, Lawyer, Publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, Director in Every New Railroad Built Into the City, Fosterer of Expositions, and Recently Mayor of Atlanta. TAR HEEL CROP CONDITIONS Conditions For Past Week as Given Out by the Department. The North Carolina section of the climate and crop’sevice of the depart ment of agriculture, issues the follow- inging official bulletin for the pftSt week: Government Takes Over the Fight on Yellow Jack Atlanta, Ga., Special.—Capt. Evan P. Howell, long prominently identifified with Southern journalism, died at noon Sunday, after an illness of three weeks,, brought in by a carbuncle complicat ed with diabetes. Captain Powell was born December 10, 1839 in Milton county, Ga, He was a gallant Confederate soldier, entering the service a3 a member of the First Georgia Regiment, later commanding Howell’s Battery of Artillery dnring practically the whole of the war. After the surrender he settled in At lanta, taking up the practice of the law. He was one of the most potent factors in rebuilding this city and in the development of the State from the devastation of the war. As a young lawyer he. served as Solicitor General during the stormy days of the recon struction period, when to his services was largely due to sup pression of the lawlessness then so rife. In 1876 he bought the Atlanta Constitution with Henry W. Grady and William A. Hemphill. He retained control of this newspaper until 1S97, when he retired, and since then has not been in active business. Captain Howell has been prominently identified with the Democratic party ever simte the war, having been del- egate-aDlarge from this State to sev eral of the national convention and a prominent figure in each. He served as member of both branches of the State Legislature some years ago, but held no other political office save that of mayor of Atlanta, for which he was nominated during his absence from the community. His term of service to this office ended last year.He has been prominently identified with every movement for the develop ment of this city and section, notably with the first Cotton Exposition in 1SS2, Which opened the eyes of the country to the South’s .industrial pro gress and with all the later exposi tions. He has been a director in every new railroad built into Atlanta since the war. He was a, member of the commission which built Geogia's new capitol and which performed the feat of completing its works within the orig inal appropriation and turning back into the Treasury a surplus. Captain Howell was tendered a place in the diplomatic service by President Cleve land, but declined it. He served by appointment of President McKinley upon the commission to investigate the conduct of the war with Spain. His wife, wlio was Miss Julia Erwin, and seven children survive him, among them Editor Clark Howell. Th® characteristic feature of the wea ther during the week ending Monday, July 31, was the relatively low temper ature that prevailed* While the meAfi of the week for the State at large was only slightly below the normal, the night temperatures were generally be low 7 Odegrees and the maxima belo* 90 degrees except at a few places dfi Sunday, July 30-. ’As thS -weather was also quite ClBudy during most of the week, the conditions were very pleasant for outdoor work, but the absence of sunshine, and excessive moisture in places caused further -rank growth of vegetation and has delayed the forma tion of fruit, Which It is feared will make crops, especially cfittofi-, rather late. The rainfall was irregularly dis tributed and generally small in amount; over most of the interior of the State the first part of the week was dry and favorable with good showers on Fri day, but in some north-eastern comities chiefly Beaufort, Halifax, and N ^h1 and in several west of the Blue Ridge the rains were too frequent for best results. In most counties, htJwever, the week was fairly Rivorable both foi work and the growth of crops-. Lay ing by crops is practically completed, and the chief WSrk Ofl hand is cutting and curing tobacco, plowing for wheat, seeding turnips and making late hay. More sunshine and a period of dry weather would be beneficial.Cotton has outgrown its normal size In most counties, and In the central- east portion the plants are not very full of blooms and fruit; there is consider able damage by rust, but less report of shedding, although' where the crop is suffering from excessive moisture both bolls and leaves are falliflg, and on light lands plants are turnnig yellow In the west in spite of rapid growth, cotton seems to he blooming freely and fruiting well. Very favorable condi tions from now on will be needed to make an average crop of cotton. y1*' Iy upland corn is about made; fodder is ripening; much bottom lan-d corn is still badly in the grass. Tobacco in some places and on thin land is curing nicely, hat it is over ripe in some pla ces, and on thin land the cures are hfiht on account of damage by too much moisture. Peanuts, field peas sweet potatoes and rice have progress ed nicely. Thrashing wheat and other grains is about over, and in many in stances the yield has turned out some- wha better than, expected. Sowing turn in seeds and late hay making are under way. The fruit crop in the west will be short and inferior; apples are very scabby; grapes are ripening; the moist cloudy weather continues to fa vor the spread of fungus diseases causing decay. Transplanting strawberry plants has made good progress.Rains received:—Goldsboro, 0.1 .

This program has for weeks been a subject of much study on the part of the President and Mr. Pierce. Many of the details regarding the journey to Oyster Bay and thence to Ports mouth already-have been published. Desirous of being strictly neutral in all the arrangements for the presenta tion, it was decided at the outset by the Washington government that the President would recognize no prece dence based on success In the present war. Because Baron Komura was pre sented at Sagamore Hill almost a week before Mr. Witte arrived in this country, it was decided that for this reason Baron Komura must take" prece dence over Mr. Witte. This, however, will be recognized only in the half hour's difference in the time of the presentation of the two missions.

The conversation Was general ly In French, fts Mi-. Witte speaks very little English. Baron Rosett and Baron Komura chatted as if they had been life-long friends and Minister Taka hira, at one time particularly commu nicative, entered into tne conversation with zest and Interest. Before the lnncheon had proceeded far President Roosevelt rose from his chair, and turning to the assemblage, raised his hand for silence. In an in stant there was a hush. Bowing to., tig? envoys, President Roosevelt said: ENVOYS APPROVE TOAST. ’’Gentlemen: I propose, a-toast to which there will be no answer and to which I have the honor to ask you to drink in silence, standing. I drink to the welfare and prosperity of the sov ereigns and the people' , of the two great nations whose representatives have met one another on this ship. It is my most earnest nope and prayer, in the interest 01 not only these two great powers, but of ail civilized man kind, that a just and lasting peace may speeuiiy be concluded between them.” The toast was drunk, as the Presi dent. requested, in profound silence, but in the hum of conversation which followed little was heard but enthusi astic comment upon tue character of the President’s expression.

Wheat Exports to England In 1902 and 1905. New York City.—England’s trade and navigation figures for the first half of 1905 throw some further light on our changed position in the world’s wheat trade. British wheat imports for the half year in 1902—our “bumper year” of.exports—compare as follows, in hun- drewieghts, with the same period this year: From 1992.United States..............21,223,158Aigentine Republic... 3,482,731 Canada.

In 1905 the scene is changed; the Argentine Republic still leads, with the British East Indies sec- ond and Russia third, but Australia and Canada are in fourth and sixth places, and the United States is fifth. In the future the vicissitudes of bad harvests in some countries and otber circumstances will doubtless lead to still other changes. Two Millions in Automobiles, United - States Appraiser George M, Whitehead said that ninety-eight au tomobiles were imported In July as compared with fifty-five in the July of 1904. In the seven months of this year, January—July, 633 automobiles have been received at this port, of a total appraised value of $2,000,000, as compared with 316 automobiles in the same period of 1904. The Cotton Acreage. r That the cotton acreage of,the year has been considerably reduced from last year seems undoubted; both;the reports of the Government and those of the Cotton Association agree As to that, though they do not agree as to the exact proportion, of the reduction. The voluntary reduction has been con siderably less than was expected and advised, but adverse conditions have brought about what conventions and resolutions were powerless to accom plish. The Tobacco . Outlook. In Maryland and Virginia tobacco is not doing well, although some improve ment is reported from the latter State.

Having these principles in view I have found the following flil exceiiehi method of feeding for eggs: Clover as much as the hens will eat, green in summer and either dry In winter, or what is belter, cut fine and covered with boiling water and,left to steam. The water in which this clover is steamed can- be profitably used to mix up the evening ration. Tlie first thing in the morning feed the clover, and after the hens have pecked up what they want, give them equal parts of cracked corn and wheat and the next morniug oats and buckwheat or some other grain. Throw this in litter and make them scratch and hunt for it. At night give a feed composed of two parts of ground oats, one part ground beef scrap and two parts corn meal, mixed with hot water and feed warm, not hot. For green stuff supply cabbage, hung up by a string to help* themselves, or beets or turnips cut In half and stuck on nails on the side of the house. Keep ground oyster shells, grit and charcoal in boxes or hoppers before them at all times so they can eat as much or little as they choose. Now, there may be better ways than this, but this is certainly a good method and wrill be found to answer the need of practical poultry men. If you ob tain it and can afford to do it, feed your hens skimmed milk; it is one of the best egg producing foods known, but the difficulty is the price puts it beyond the reach of most poultry raisers. But our farmer friends would find it very advantageous if they wonid save some of their surplus milk for the hens and not give at all to the hogs. One hundred hens, with proper care, should produce at least $100 profit clear each year. The pullet that begins to lay earliest in life will lay the largest number of eggs. Charred corn on the cob is a good way to feed charcoal to fowls and nothing is better for bowel troubles.. Have you ever made an honest effort to improve your stock by the infusion of new blood? Laying hens may enjoy eating snow and drinking water out of stagnant pools, but neither is good for them. Qn the contrary, Both are quite in jurious and." if properly traced many sicknesses among the poultry both win ter and summer would be found as a result of these.practices. Poultry raising is beiug gradually re duced- to business principles, and.is be- c.omingan actual and important feature of agriculture more and more each year. Do you subscribe for and read a ponl try paper, or are you opposed to “book Iarnin” and think you Know more than the editors and men who write for the papers simply to see their name in print? You farmers that raise pure bred poultry,' look on your young stock. Pick out the most likely ones and push them by good feeding.

While I have but twenty-five acres of grass, yet, to pay'for the harvesting at the rate of $7 per ton is quite an item'. A farmer doing sueli work for another is, of course, entitled to a fair profit of over and above the actual cost of doing the work. JIerchants are usually satis fied with a net profit of from ten to twenty-five per cent, above cost. In a case like this perhaps fifty per cent, more than the actual cost should be allowed for profit. If the readers of the Southern Planter will give their actual experience as to the cost of harvesting their hay crops, an exchange of Ideas is likely to re sult in giving all an opportunity for learning the cheapest and best meth ods.

R ape anil Artichokes* 1 H. JL C., Silcott Springs, writes: I would like soni£ information regarding the culture of rape and artichokes. Answer: The culture of rape is a' comparatively small matter. It should be seeded as early in spring as possi ble, the sooner now the better. Plant in drills about twenty-four inches apart on the level, using about four pounds of seed per acre. Cultivate lightly un til the leaves touch the rows and then you can graze with hogs or sheep. In case of sheep you should watch out for bloat. Artichokes should be planted as soon as possible in rows about three feet apart and fifteen to eighteen inches apart in rows. From four to six bush els are required to plant an acre. The ground should be prepared as for Irish potatoes and the cultivation is practi cally the same. As a rule artichokes will yield about twice' as much as Irish potatoes. From two to four weeks after they bloom hogs may be turned in the field and allowed to root out and feed on the artichokes. They will live on the crop practically all the winter except when the ground is frozen. They make an excellent graz ing crop for hogs and are fairly satis factory when fed to cattle and sheep. Artichokes grow rapidly and are heavy and will remain in the ground for sev eral years, unless the bogs are allowed to root them out very thoroughly. — A. M. Soule. ' Permanent Pastures* Every farmer should have a perma nent pasture, depending in extent on the size of the farm. Of course the great permanent pasture grass is Ber muda and Japan clover. Bermuda and winter vetch also make an excel lent pasture- also orchard grass and vetch make an excellent permanent pasture, and so on. These permanent pastures are of the greatest importance for the farm work stock, the farm cat tle, hogs; etc.—Progressive Farmer. Pointed Paragraphs.

MR. SIMMONS BEING DISCUSS ED. The Events of the Next 12 Mouths Will be Watched with Interest and the Senior Senator is Coming in for His Share of the* Cursing —His leadership Not Altogether Satifactory—Some of his former Political Friends Do Not Like His Later-Day Policy—If He Were to Become Unpopular Who Could Defeat Him? From th e C harlotte O bserver. Senator F. M. Simmonsiscoming in for his share of the cursing these days. There are men who believe that he is leading the Democratic party to a fall. The opposition to his policy is growing every day now as the election of 1906 approaches.— Some men who were his friends and allies six years ago would defeat him now, and the number increases. A gentleman of influence and standing in his community, while in Charlotte some time ago, asked an Observer roan this question:— “ What are the Democrats of this State going to do? Will they con-' tinue to follow the lead of Simmons and go to certain defeat and see their party disrupted or will they turn him down?” The man who made that speech is all right and regular, for he went as a delegate to the last, national convention and is at present a mem ber of the State executive commit tee and one who opposed the call ing of the committee to question Mr. Simmons’ right to do certain things during the meeting of the last legislature. His Democ racy has not been challenged, and w«uld not be if his name was given. He answered his cfwn questions as far as himself was concerned. He said: “I am for sending every anti-Simmons man that we cau to the next legislature aud beat him there. I worked for Simmons and helped to elect him to the Senate five years ago; I have been a friend of his, but he is wrong. He has gone wild and is riding this hys terical wave that is siveepingihe State. I believe in bursting that ring which is lead by Simmons and Jim Pou. I think from what I can learntbat the next State convention will break it. I did not think well ot the calling for the mecting|of the committee during the legislature, but I <lo not think Simmons had any business dipping into some- thing that did not ioncern him. He went out of his way to enter the fight at Raleigh. If the Observer man were to name this man he would be read out ot' the party, and as it does not name him the iuterview will be called a fab rication by .some coward who would not lace the wiiter and say as much Another stalwart Democratic leail er from a distant county dropped in the other day to say that he did not Iikethewayr things were going. He never scratched a regular in his life and never missed, an opportunity to vote; he was not mad but blue. The signs do not suit him. He would like to see the Democratic party stop think a little before go ing further.What effect WrOuld it have on the headstoug leaders say, if forty or fifty or even more good men,such as Cy Watson, of Winston; Dick Haekett, of Wilkesboro; Don Gil liam, of Tarborb, and others that I might mention were to get together and hold a meeting and beg to be heard?” he asked. “The time for reading men out of the party has passed; we cannot afford to do it. Something must be done. We ca.n’t go 00 like we are going. The little lawrs that give the officer the right to seize a man’s property and take it from him with out process are becoming oppres sive and people will not put np with it- much longer. There is great discontent. I am for taking positive steps. ' “The Republican party does not hold out any hope. Instead of im proving it grows worse. The lead ers seem to be foolish. It looks now as if Marion Butler would be taken in and given a seat high up in the synagogue. We must look elsewhere for relief. ‘I favor making a show-down against Simmons and his ,cohorts.” That sort of talk cau be heard if a fellow dares to listen to it. The bushes are full of discontentedDem ocrats. They are not threatening, but praying. Butifthey were to defeat Sim nions wrho would be the man to do it? It- is said that Mr. GhanTes B, Aycock could do it if he would but it is declared that.he has promised Simmons not to run,. If this be true he would not be a candidate nor would he accept the place for he is a man of his word. Some Observer contains'food for thought. Itindicates a rebellion against Mr. Simmons and his machine, and it behooves Republicans to so conduct themselves that the people can turn to them for relief and get it at our hands'. There is no question in our mind but that there is great dissat isfaction among the people with the present order of things in North Carolina and the only hope for a change is in the defeat of Democ racy. North Carolina needs rep resentation in Washington and the' people should see that the Repub licans are sent there. Democracy has held sway so long that it has built up an oligarchy which has, and }s, trampling upon the rights of the people. Let’s get together and present a united front to the enemy in 1906, and victory will crown our efforts. It would be hard for Republicans to say worse things about each oth er than the Democrats are saying of each other in Virginia and Geor gia, Our Democratic friends in North Carolina should listen from over the borders while they aie talking about Republicahs. FAKM ING TO NNEW S. The continuous down-pour of rain ’till uoon, Thursday, caused much disappointment among the would- be attendants upon the Masonic picnic at Mocksville. Several of our Yadkin friends who were en route turned back at Farmington. The writer was also disappointed by the rainy weather. Miss Annie Johnson returned Friday from China Grove, Mr. Paul Nance, of Yatlkin Co., opened his school here Monday uu der very auspicious circumstances. The protracted meeting closed at Ward’s Chapel Saturday last.— The rainy weather, muddy roads and small attendance didn’t pre clude a spiritual meeting. The Rev. Mr. Western preached a fine sermon at the Baptist church Sunday Jast, Mrs.Lula Binkley went to Mocks- ille Monday to spend a few days The protracted meeting begins at Bethlehem next Sunday. Subkosa .

Portsmouth Navy Yard as neither Baton Komura nor Mr. Ta- h-'ibira are very familiar with French, while M, Witte, although understand ing English In reading, cannot speak it. Immediately after this formality the envoys proceeded to the exchange of their credentials. The departure of both missions from the Hotel Wentworth was made grave ly. It was as if the envoys were tak ing part In some solemn rite. M. Witte’s face was Oven graver than usual. He Walked slowly and, apparehtly, with some difficulty from the Wentworth porte Oocliere to the automobile, and, as a ripple Ot ap- plauseienched his ears from tile Vef- ajiihf, slowly and solemnly faijjfid iiis hat and bowed. " Baron HeieS Seated himself next to the senior plenipotentiary and a secret service man took his place with the chauffeur. The members of the Bus'- sian suite then filed Bfit And- entered the automobiles Set hpart for their use.While thtt Russians were departing from the annex in which they were quartered, Baron ■ Komura and his suite were leaving the main wing of the hotel. The departure of the .Japan ese was characterised principally by businesslike agility. Tlivif dignity WdS irreproachable, but there was none of the Russian sadness in their bearing. Baron. Komura, small and Wizened, and Minister Takahira, equally abbre viated in stature but broad of shoulder, took the places of honor. Sir. Sato and the others followed in the next conveyance, lletore leaving the hotel Sir. Sato courteously declined to discuss the peace conference in any way. He greet ed: the correspondents pleasantly, but gave abundant evidence that he could keep science as well as talk. After the plenipotentiaries had started for the navy yard Sir. Honda, private secretary to Baron Komura, went to the apartments of the Russian mission, where he was met in- the reception room by SI. Sbipoff, SI. de Plaucou, SI. Bateheff and SI. Berg. Mr. Honda E THE GENERAL STORES RUTLDING, PORTSMOUTH (N H ) NAVY YARD. (WLere tlie Russiau and Japanese Peace Commissioners are iioldiag tlieir nieetiugs.) and conducted to tlie conference liall, ,where they; *\vill discuss the moment ous question of peace. 'i' Baron Komura, with Jiinistcr Taka hira, received an equally hearty greet ing, and responded as graciously at the Court House, where the crowd had massed in anticipation of the arrival of the envoys. Governor Jolm JicLane and his staff, in gilt lace, had already reached the Court House, and were awaiting the arrival of the envoys. AVhcn the envoys arrived they were taken to the main courtroom on the second floor, which was elaborately decorated for the occasion. The Governor then made his speech of wel come and, after handshaking all round, the formal festivities of the day Were at an end. Tlie envoys were subsequently taken in automobiles to the Hotel Wentworth, where elabor ate apartments had been reserved for them. F A t Tbelr H otel. Instead of keeping to their rooms, as it was expected the plenipotentiaries Would do, Russian and Japanese min gled- freely among the guests, strolling about the verandas, chatting volubly and acting generally in a care-free manner, as though the entire war “had been settled.” Right off the lobby, in the public billiard room, Baron Rosen and JI. De JIaertens, of the Russian Legation, on- gaged in a friendly game, with JI. Witte as a spectator. Two Japauese correspondents gave close attention to the game. Baron Komura, worn out by the day's exertions, kept to his apartments, and •Mr. Takahira was seen about the hotel but once, but the other members of their suites were much in evidence, . The first day of the actual Russo- Japanese peace conference, which the world is hoping will result In the “Peace of Portsmouth,” broke warm and fair. At 9.30 o’clock the two senior ambassadors caused Third As sistant Secretary of State Peirce to be notified that they were ready to start for the navy yard, and at 10.30 the two peace missions were in the square red brick naval stores building, which, meagre as it is from aii architectural point of view, is in many respects the most interesting structure in czisleicc to-day. Credenlials E xchan ged .. By 11 o’clock the conference had begun. Soon after the plenipotentiaries en tered the Navy General Siore it was learned that JI. Witte and Baron Ko mura had exchanged compliments, tlie latter using JIr. Honda as iutorpveter. said the object of his visit was-to dis cuss the best programme for the ex change of cards by the members of the two missions. The short conver sation which followed was very cor dial, and it was decided that the cards I'liould cither be left at the office or that a secretary from each side should convey them direct to tho respective apartments and there be formally received. It is noticeable that with each day* the members of the two missions are fraternizing more easily, and it is no longer a subject for comment when a Russian and a Japanese are seen talking together. Extraordluary Precautions. * Extraordinary precautions have been taken to exclude from the navy yard every person not connected with the Govtrnrcent service. While the con- SAI^-N KOUUBAt SEXIOB JAIMNES3 PEACE EXVOY. ference is iu progress the workmen must have passes in order to enter, and the ISO marines on duty at the reser vation have been pressed into guard duty. Assistant Secretary Teirce stated before- the envoys left the Wentworth that there would be little ceremony In opening the. first actual session. “I shall conduct the enroj*s through the offices set apart for their respec tive use,” said he. **and wish them all good fortune in their deliberations. I shall then retire to another portion of the building nnd the missions will be gin jheir deliberations.” TIfe ambassadors will remain in the buiiding, until each session is ad journed.

Nabokofi;, who assisted at this meeting as secretary, issued the followiug official statement: “The first meeting took place this morning. JI. Witte, Barou Rosen, Baron Ivomura, JIr, Takahira, and a sec retary on each side participated. The program of the following meetings has been fixed so far as tlie form is con cerned. The meetings will be twice a day, in the morning and in the after noon, after 3, ‘Information will be given to the press after being agreed upon by both sides. The records of tho proceedings and all of the documents will be com piled both in English and in French. The French text (fern foi) will be ac cepted in evidence in case of dispute.” Baron Komura, in accordance with the agreement, lias chosen Mr. Sato, Mr. Adachi and JIr. Otciiiai to partici pate daily in the conference as the offi cial secretaries of IiTmsclf aud Mr. Takahira. The envoys traveled to and from the navy yard in motor cars, and will con tinue to do so while the conference is in session. AU kinds of rumors were afloat as to the cause of the quick return of the envoys to the hotel, conflicting state ments were made concerning the mis take over the credentials, and a num ber of persons were, afraid that the negotiations Iiad been abruptly broken off. Later the Russian secretary, JI. Korostovtz, explained the matter clearly and the misunderstanding was cleaved up. A good deal*of attention was attract ed by tho fact that the Russians dined In a l’ooiii up stairs by themselves iu the evening instead of taking the meal in the large diuiug room as they did before. One explanation is that the Russians like to smoke at the table. It has boon noticeable lha± outside the conference the Russian and Japanese officials Inive not mingled together. Tlie Japanese stroll freely* about the hotel and converse affably with any one who approaches them; the Rus sians keep to their rooms in the annex, aud are rarely seeu in the maiu building. In the evening the amenities were ob served by the general exchange of cards, M. Witte, Baron Rosen and their suite sending theirs through the hotel office, while the cards of the .Jap anese mission were left at. the doors of the members of the Russian mission by a little Japanese messenger boy. Commanders Winslow aud Gibbons iuado their official calls upon the two uijssions late in the afternoon. The Japanese and the Russian newspaper correspondents have broken the ice aud have begun to fraternize. JIeauwhilc life at The Hotel Wentworth is unusually gay. Not outside Oi a European capital does one often find so cosmopolitan a gathering as that which furnishes the setting to this momentous peace conference. Gathered under the roof of the big rambling summer hotel is a represents- live of almost every nationaliiv. The great dining hall at night pre sented a striking scene, At one end of the spacious hall a long table, with covers laid for seventeen persons, was occupied by JI. Witte aud his suite At a similar table, with the same num ber Cf covers, placed nearer the en trance. sat Bavon Komura. and his associates. The two parties were separated by a distance of about thirty feet, with many tables intervening. The Japanese entered the dining hall first, walking in orderly disorder Bar on Komura and Minister Takahira* In the van. When all had gathered about the board the chairs were drawn and the party seated itself almost as one man. At the head of the table sat Baron Ivomura. his short stature making it necessary for him Io= stretch out his elbows. . . . Big Strike at Riga.

The Russians had not beep anxious for ft Sfissibils find tile Japanese took the initiative, fiild, tfirdugti thfi inter mediary of Mr. Pierce, it was decided to postpone the sitting until Monday morning. The situation therefore re mains the same, it would perhaps not be too much Ib Sa# that the general feeling is more hopeful, in spite of open negotiations that before next Sunday the plenipotentiaries will reach an im passe where a rupture will become inev itable. This pessimistic view is based upofi'the fact, so far as known, the two big barriers to afi agreement—(indem nity and Sakhalin—remain as high and insurmountable as ever. NEXT MOVE UP TO JAPS. The real struggle is only postponed. The main problems are no nearer solu tion than when the plenipotentiaries met. The principal reason for opti mism-lies in the fact that, confronted with the absolute refusal Of tlig Rus sian reply to admit the discussion of either indemnity or the cession of the island of Sokhalin, the Japanese pro posed to take up the consideration of the conditions serlrtim. From this it is assumed that the Japanese are pre pared to yield or have reason to be lieve a way will be found to overcome the objections of their adversaries when the crucial test comes. An intimation comes from a high source that very strong outside influ ences are at work on- both sides, and that for the moment the effort is to gain time. The plan of having Russia practically satisfy Japan's claim of re imbursement for the cost of the war by the purchase of the Japanese military evacuation of Sakhalin continues to he advanced. Such a solution would permit Russia to say she had paid neither indemnity nor ceded a foot of territo ry. RAISES “YELLOW PERIL” CRY. The debate in Saturday’s conference over the first condition—the recogni tion of Japan’s “preponderating influ ence’’- over Korea, involving her right to control the administration of the hermit kingdom, use the littoral for stragetic purposes, etc.,—was of a re markable character. Indeed the posi tion taken by Mr. Witte was sensa tional In the extreme. His attitude re veals plainly the Russian tactics. They propose to raise before the world the spectre of the "yellow peril.” Russia claims that Japan’s present purpose is to get a foothold on the Asiatic con tinent from which to extend her influ ence and dominion. Mr. Witte made no objection, but he declared that the words “preponderat ing influence” did not adequately de scribe what Japan proposed to do, and he insisted that the language used should show Japan’s true purpose— which he contended was to make a Japanese province of Korea. BASIS OF NEGOTIATION. The cession of the Russian leases ip the Liaotung Peninsular, comprising Port Arthur and Dalny. The evacuation of the entire province of Manchuria, the retrocession to Chi na of any privileges Russia may have in the province and the recognition by Russia of the principle of the “open door.” The cession to Japan, of the Chinese Eastern Railroad below Harbin, the main line through northern Manchuria to Vladivostock, to remain Russian property. The recognition of the Japanese protectorate over Korea. The grant of fishing rights to Japan The grant of fishing rights to Japa nese in the waters of the Siberian lit toral northward from Vladivostock to the Behring Sea. The relinquishment to Japan of the Russian warships interned In neutral ports. Finally a limitation upon the naval strength of Russia in far Eastern waters. As a whole the term3 are regarded as exceedingly hard by the Russians. In addition to the two principal condi tions, which cannot be accepted uniler Mr. Witte’s instructions, those relating to the limiting of Russia’s naval power in the far east and the granting of fishing rights upon tho Russian lit toral are considered particularly of fensive to the amour propro of their country, and of such a humiliating character as to be inadmissible.

New Orleans, Special,—Following is the official record up te g p, m. Sun day; New eases, 50. Total cases to date. M5. Deaths, 12. Tbth1 deaths to date, 154. New rod, 14. Total foci to date, 202. Cases under treatment, 343. Tho heavy increase in the liumber of cases which began four or five days ago is beginning to manifest itself in the death list, which can be expected to grow steadily for the next few days. The number of new cases Sunday seems small in comparison with Saturday's record, but it is really nineteen short, as that number Ol cases were turned in by an inspector just after tho hour for Closing the report. PROMINENT PEOPLE STRICKEN. Among Ihe eases is Louis Cueullu, Jr,, cashier of the People's Bank, who resides far out on North Johnson street. Another case is Maurice Ken ny, ex-councilman and ex-member of the Legislature, Two of Kenny’s daughters were Btricken Sunday. Only five of the new foci are about Canal street. Surgeon White made a change In his organization by which he hopes to ac complish results much quicker. The fumigation Shd Bcreenihg work was all done by a central department under Doctor GesshSri Which sent squads out on notification of cases by physicians. Ih tho afternoon Dr. White assembled all of his subordinates in conference and decided to place the screening and fumigation work under the several dis trict headquarters. The present force will be divided up among the district surgeons, and Dr. Gcssner will be given charge of one of the districts, CONCEALMENT MAIN TROUBLE. AsScistant Surgeon Corput has just concluded a thorough investigation of conditions in Algiers, that part of New Orleans on the west hank of the Mis sissippi river. There has been rwo cases In Algiers since the outbreak of fever and Dr. White determined to ascertain by a house to house canvass if there had been any spread from them. Dr. Corput reported that he had found not a single suspicious case, which indi cates that the prompt steps taken to screen and fumigate the original cases have been effective in preventing a spread. Dr. White says that if he could learn of every case in the city and apply the proper methods immediately he is confident that he could stamp out the disease here in a short time. The great cause of the spread has been the concealment of cases and the change of residence of people who have been infected. Dozens of cases are on record which show conclusively that the .people have moved a\va.y from- a house where infection had existed. This Dr. AVhite proposes to stop, and while no drastic measures are being taken, he is enforcing his authority. FORCING DOCTORS TO REPORT. The effectiveness Cf the district head quarters, which are making close in vestigations of the 17 districts, is re sponsible for a large number of the new cases which have been reported during the last few days, and as the efficiency of that force increases, an increase in the number of eases daily can be ex pected. Physicians who have failed to- report cases that arc discovered are given an opportunity to correct their omission, but a second offence will re sult in prosecution under the law. This has also brought out a large number of cases that were under cover. Patterson, which is the largest cen'- ter of infection outside of the city, re ports three new cases and the first death. The victim is a young lady. She died and this has naturally depressed the spirits of the people. They have had 39 cases there so far. They have opened an emergency hospital, which now has seven patients. At Bon Ami, in Calcasieu parish, there is only one case of yellow fever, with no new cases and no suspicious cases. An Ugly Infection Center. Au exceedingly ugly center or infec tion was unearthed in St. Charles’ par ish by Dr. Corput, of the Marine Hos pital service. Two days ago he un- earLbcd six cases on the Diamond plantation and he found two more cases on that place and eleven cases on the' reserve plantation, eleven miles further north, and one case on the Sarpy plantation. It is believed that over thirty Italians have left this group in the Jast week, but there is no trace of them, nor will there be unless infection should develop among them at their places of refuge. Two of the eases on tho Reserve plantation died while Dr. Corput was there. This plantation belongs to the Godchaux estate, and Dr. Godcnaux has taken charge of the situation there and” will carry cut the instructions of the Ma rine Hospital Service. 30 Cases in. One Village. -Five more cases Lave developed at Patterson, in St. JIary parish, making 30 cases in ail there. AVhile the inlec tion was taken there by Italians from the infected district in New Orleans the disease has spread among the resi dents, and several ladies and children are afflicted. Eight of the patients are convalescent. Dr. Horton, the State Board of Health inspector, reached Tallulah but has not reported yet whether the illness there is yellow fever.o President Wires Condolence.' AVilkesbarre, Pa., Special.—Cardinal Gibbons has received the following tel egram from President Roosevelt: 1 “I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of my beloved friend, Arch-Bishop Chappelle.

Kow Shows a Slow But Steady Improvement NUMBER OF DEATHS ON DECREASE Death List of Only Four Indicates That Practically Every Case is Be ing Reported, and This Means That Modern Methods to Prevent Spread Are Being Universally Applied- Marine Hospital Surgeons Not Talking, But Evidently Hopeful— Over 20 New Oases in Vicinity and Several Deaths. New Orleans, Special.—Official re port to 6 p. m.: New cases, 45. Total cases to date, 1,385. Deaths, 4 Total deaths, 106. New foci, 11. Total foci, 306. Remaining under treatment, 381. No better evidence of the fact that the visitation of mosquito fever is not only being controlled here, but that there is a chance for its eradication, can be found, than in the daily reports of cases and deaths. For several days the numoer of cases has shown a de cline, while the number of deaths have been remarkably lower, considering the number of cases reported a week ago. The death list indicates that prac tically every case that develops is now being reported and that means that the modem method of treatment to prevent spread is being applied. When that condition is assured, the end of visitation is in sight, and it looks as if that condition is approaching. With the visitation of 1878 compar ed to the present one, it is shown that there is no reason for alarm in the present instances. They prove the fact that the disease is being controlled. They also indicate that if it bad not been checked and controlled at the time that it was that the visitation this year would have been as serious as that of 1880. While the Marine Hospital surgeons are making no cOm- meuls, they are much more hopeful than they were two weeks ago, when they took hold of the situation. Of the four deaths, one was at the Charity Hospital, one in the Emergen cy Hospital, and the other two down town. '• A Surgical Feat. Louisville, Special.—Employing the skin of healthy brown sheep, the head of Miss Edna Seifert, whose scalp was torn off in an accident at the Nelson- Bethel Clothing Company, August 2, will bo covered by the grafting process. Dr. A. R. Bizot, who has been attend ing her at Sts. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital, stated that work of placing the skin on Miss Seifert’s head will commence this morning. The opera tion will require several months, as on ly little “islands” of the skin are dot ted over the surface close enough to ultimately grow together. In a few weeks the success of this somewhat unique and original operation can be determined. If it is not successful, then the skin of a human will be used. Miss Seifert is twenty-one years old, and boards at 2400 Griffiths avenue. She was an operator at the factory of the Nelson-Bethel Clothing Com pany. While she was adjusting a re fractory belt, her hair caught in tho shafting. She was dragged across the machine, and her entire scalp and part of her cheek were torn completely off. At first her life was despaired of, but her injury responded promptly to treatment and her recovery is now con fidently expected. Sunday a piece of skin taken from Miss Seifert’s heel was grafted to her forehead, but to cover her entire head with a substitute for a scalp was a problem which the attending surgeon is now endeavoring to solve by using sheep skin. The animal was purchased Irom a Jefferson-county farmer, and is in fine condition. The brown sheep was selected because that was the color of the wig she will hereafter be forced to wear. Slayer Dies of Wound. Baxley, Ga., Special.—A. J.

THE PRESIDENT’S SUGGESTION Outline of Proposition to Baron Roson Becomes Known—Suggestion Hard For the Czar, as Author of The Hague Peace Conference, to Reject —Japan’s Acceptance Considered Assured if Russia’s is Obtained. Portsmouth, N. H., Special.—It can not be autroritatively stated that the feature of the proposition of Presi dent Roosevelt communicated through Baron Rosen to Mr. Witte and trans mitted by the latter to Blmperor Nicho las was based upon the principle of arbitration. Whether the proposal con templates arbitration of all the articles npon which the plenipotentiaries have failed to agree, or upon the question of indemnity cannot be stated with posi tiveness, but it is more than probable that it relates only to indemnity or to indemnity and the cession of the island of Sakhalin. Neither is it possi ble to say whether the President has has yet made a similar proposition to Japan, The customary diplomatic pro ceedings in such a case would be to submit the proposal simultaneously to both countries, but there might be an advantage in securing the adherence of one before submitting it to the other. To Emperor Nicholas, the author of The Hague peace conference, the sug gestion of arbitration which will neces sarily immediately command the sym pathy of the public opinion of the world will be particularly hard to re ject If he agrees, Japan, if sh'e has not already done so, would be all the more bound to submit her claim to the decision of an impartial arbitrator. Ao ceptance by both sides would involve a great extension of the .principle of arbitration, as nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate questions involv ing their "honor and dignity.” Both Mr. Takhhira and Mr. Witte in the earlier stages of the conference abso lutely rejected the idea of arbitration, and both reiterated their disbelief in such a solution. It was noticed, how ever, that Mr. Witte’s opinion was not expressed as strongly as it was last week. An Offer to Japan. Portsmouth, N. H., Special. — The chances of peace have undoubtedly been improved by President Roose velt’s action in stepping into the breach in a last heroic endeavor to induce the warring countries to com promise their “irreconcilable differ ences,” but the result is still in sus pense. The ultimate decision of the issue has de facto if not de jure, passed from the plenipotentiaries to thelv principals, from Portsmouth to S t Petersburg, and perhaps in a lesser extent, to Tokio. Although there are collateral evidences that pressure both by President Roosevelt and neutral powers, including Japan’s ally, Great Britain, whose minister, Claude Mc Donald, according to advices received here, held a long conference Sunday afternoon with Mr. Katsura, the Japan ese Premier, is still being exerted at Tokio to induce Japan to moderate her demands, there is reason to be lieve that Presidgnt Roosevelt was able at his interview with Baron de Rosen to practically communicate to the latter’s senior, Mr. Witte, Japan’s irreducible minimum—wbat she would yield, but the point beyond which she would not go. Whetlier an actual basis of compromise was proposed by the President, cannot be stated definitely. The only thing that can be affirmed positively is that if Russia refuses to act upon the suggestion or proposition of Pres ident Roosevelt the peace conference will end in failure. No clue of the nature of this rec ommendation has transpired. But it can be stated that Mr. Witte, no mat ter how he may personally view the proposition, is distinctively pessimis tic as to the character of the response which will come from St. Petersburg. To a confidential friend he offered lit tle hope of a change in the situation. The Japanese, very firmly believed, cling to the substance if aot the form of this demand for remuneration for “the cost of the war.” Perhaps they are willing to decrease the sum asked, but substantial com pensation, under whatever guise it is obtained, they decline to relinquish. And they are also firm upon the ces sion of Sakhalin. Jap Warships Off Siberia. Go.dzyadani, Manchuria, By Cable.— A sma'll squadron of Japanese cruisers is crusing off the shore of Kamchatka.

The North Carolina section of the climate and crop service of the de partment of agriculture, issues the following official bulletin for the past week: The general dry condition of the week ending Monday the 7th was broken by the general rain through out the State during the past week. In most sections the rains were exces sive causing the creeks to overflow their banks, and thereby damaging an immense amount of crops in the low lands. Beaufort and Dare counties in the eastern district, however, re port that rain is needed in some sec tions. There were a great many local showers and crops are reported to be in fine condition in many sections of the eastern district. In the cen tral district, corn and cotton was much damaged in the. lowlands and in fact all crops were injured rather than benefitted by the rains of the past week. Heavy winds with hail were reported from many sections in the west and central portions of the State doing a great deal of damage to all crops and fruit. Cotton has beeir improved to some extent by the rain, but almost all sec tions report that it is shedding. The wet weather has caused rank growth In Johnston county rust on cotton is reported to bo the most destructive- ever known; no rust reported in the east; and a few reports of rust in the west. Ih the east tobacco curing is com pleted except in Hertford county, and in Nash county it is being marketed. In the central and west portions of the State tobacco is not so far ad vanced although some report curing all done. Some tobacco in Johnston county is beginning to fire at the bot tom of the plants and it is thought it wifi have to be cut sooner than de sired. It is rotting some on sandy land. In general corn was not injured on the high land, but on the lowlands it was washed out, and in coses turn ing yellow. In the east a fair crop is expected; upland corn is looking well, but lowland corn is injured to a con siderable extent in the central por tion ; while in the west a fair crop is reported, although some is yellowish on the lowland. Pulling foder is quite gdneral throughout the State, but wether has been unfavorable for saving the crop; rotting is reported in Roekingham county. Peas are a good crop, but shedding is reported. Sweet potatoes Irish potatoes, turnips and peanuts doing fine. Wheat threshing is still carried on in some parts of the west. Fruit is generally a failure, but peaches are reported as good in Ire dell county.

PASSENGERS TRAPPED IN CARS i to co m o llre D raw s Its Train ThronKh Open D raw In to th e W est Branch ot the E iliab sth B iver — F anltv Air B rakes Are B lam cd -D ivers W ork to Eeacue th e D row ainn. Norfolk, V a.-The second section of an excursion train from Kinston, N. G., ran into an open draw, on the west ern branch of the Elizabeth River, and two passenger coaches aqd the engine plunged into thirty feet of water. Divers were soon engaged in the work of rescue. AU the victims, with possibly two exceptions, were negroes. Officials of the Atlantic Coast Une declare ignorance of orders or direct carelessness is responsible for the wreck. The draw, it is said, had been opened to allow a tug to pass. Faulty airbrakes, the engineer says, caused his train to plunge through the open draw. Six hundred and fifty passengers od an excursion train from Rock Mount, N. C., arrived here late In the evening. They narrowly escaped the fate of the negro excursion train. A delay of fifteen minutes at Rocky Mount held the train and placed the Kinston sec tion ahead. But for this delay the fate of the Rocky Mount train might have been ' that which befell the Kinston train. As soon as the news of the catastro phe reached this city ten Norfolk phy sicians, a score of nurses and every doctor in the city of Portsmouth hur ried to the scene. The excursion train consisted of five coaches, which contained about 250 persons. The wrecked train was due to arrive a t Norfolk at I o’clock in the afternoon. Preceding this train was another ex cursion train over flie same road, bringing 300 negro excursionists from -Rocky Mount, N. C. Following the wrecked train there was still another excursion train, this being composed of merchants and others from Augusta, Ga.; Charleston, S. O., and Jackson ville, Fla., bound to Baltimore, Md.; Philadelphia, Pa., and New York City for the purchase of fall goods. The first train arrived here at 8.30 o'clock in tht morning without acci dent; and the Augusta, Jacksonville and Charleston merchants all left for the North at night by water. Engineer C. F. Riggs and the fireman saw that the draw was open too late to stop the train. When almost on the bridge the engineer applied the air brakes, but they did not appear to work properly. The two men jumped. The engineer landed on the piling of the bridge and his face was seriously cut. The fireman jumped in the water and was not seriously injured. Con ductor W. F. Moris, of Greensboro, N. O., was not injured, nor was the brakeman. The scene following the wreck was one of indescribable confusion, with the shrieking of men, women and chil dren who were drowning and strug gling out of the submerged coach and floating to rescue those who were im prisoned in ., the cars. People in the neighborhood went to the assistance of those in the wreck and helped in the rescue. The injured were taken to the track embankment and were attended there by the physicians. Between twenty and thirty people were in the front car. These were among the miss ing, and it was thought that not one escaped. KILLED WITH HIS FIANCEE. Deputy Police Commissioner Lindsley and Miss Willing in Auto Crash. Rutland, V t.-Harris Ltndsley, Third Deputy Police Commissioner of New York City, and his fiancee, Miss Eve lyn P.

E N T O M B E D BY L A N D SL ID E Avalanche of Rcok Crushes Many Workman in Quarry... Dozen K illed by Tons o f -Book N ear A l. lenfow n. P a.—Otbere Injnred by the H uge M ass o f Stone* , Allentown, Pa,—A mass of limestone, weighing thousands of tons, slid from a side of the quarry of Mill A, of the Lehigh Portland Cement Company at Ormrod at noon, just five minutes be fore time to quit work, killing a dozen men and injuring several others. . Twenty-five men were at work In the quarry, which is 1000 feet long, 150 feet across and 100 feet deep. The heavy rains of the past two days had softened the earth, and this caused the slide of rock. Where the fallen mass slipped away, a smooth nnd nearly perpendicular wall was left, rising sheer 100 feet above the bottom of the quarry, while the entire quarry floor Was covered with broken, jagged rock. Only nine of the men got away safe ly. Four of these escaped by running up on a mass of rock at the opposite side of the quarry. The remaining eighteen men occupied a space ten feet square, and were crushed under the falling rocks. Ail of the men were Slavonians, who lived in quarters close to the quarry. Two men who saw the side of the quarry quiver shouted a warning to the workers. These misinterpreted the calls, and failed to move out of the way of danger until it was too late. With a thundering roar the mountain of rock fell, pinning the victims fast. AU the men from the company’s five neighboring quarries as well as the rigging gang set to work at once to ex tricate the unfortunate laborers. They used block and tackle, crowbars, hy draulic jacks and picks to remove the stone, many single pieces of which weighed several tons. Moans were beard coming from several places, and to these the rescuers directed their first efforts. They uncovered one man after another, and at 5.3C got out the last living man. His head and shoul ders were exposed from the first, but his legs were pinned fast by an enor mous boulder.Six men were found huddled in one place, four standing and two lying down. Three were alive, but one died before he could be released. Five phy sicians were summoned and gave the injured first aid on the scene and then had them hurried in wagons to the Allentown hospitals. The dead were car ried to the stockhouse. Eight bodies were recovered before dark. Most of the men killed or injured are single. Others had families in Austria. A number ofewomen from the foreign colony ran to the quarry when the news of the accident reached them and worked with the men in the work of A MILLION HUNGRY PEASANTS. Storming the Towns in Andalusia and Demanding Food. Madrid, Spain.—The disorders in An dalusia a: a result of the famine are growing alarmingly. The sacking of farms and the slaughtering of sheep and cattle continue practically un checked. The districts around Car mona, Osuna, Estepa, Utrera, Maron and Jerez are terrorized by hunger driven peasants. The wealthier resi dents are fleeing and abandoning their homes, taking refuge In Sgville, Cor dova and other large cities;' The starving peasants continue to in vade the towns, clamoring for food and sometimes looting. It is stated that 4000 are massed outside Osuna, threatening to storm the houses of the rich. Aid from the Government and public charity is Inadequate nnd distributed slowly. Troops are protecting many towns, but the authorities hesitate to take severe measures, partly through sympathy with the distressed and partly through fear lest a wave of vio lence be provoked. It is estimated that 1,000,000 are des perately hungry, and that 100,000 of these are actually starving. MANY WATCH SUICIDE. Man Wades to Death at Binghamton While No One Hinders Him. Binghamton, N.

Wliat is Happeuiug on tile Once Ta booed Irrigated Lands. Wichita, Kan. — Mortgages on Irri gated lands of the Western States are attracting attention from investors more than ever before. The treasurer and farm loan manager of a leading Cincinnati life insurance company that has nearly $40,000,000 in farm loans, has been traveling over the irrigated portions of the West during the past three weeks inspecting the offerings in this line. “We have been placing money on farm loans many years,” said he, “but in the older settled por tions of the West the dem and. for money is very light, and we are look ing for new fields. The irrigated lands of Colorado and Cftah are very attract ive investments, and I am much pleased with them. The new laws of Colorado by which permanency of the water supply is assured gives a chance for the settler to secure a steady in come for his lifetime, and he will be able to meet his interest and principal.” Foreign Crop Report.

W iiSrtiPdJ o j LMIVitR !SAVED New Shoreham, W ith Hole in Her Hull, Makes Run to Her Dcok- Bnglneer and Firemen SUok to Thelr Fosts on Block Ibland Boat*- New York City.—The new Block Isl and passenger steamer, the New Shore- ilAm, struck a submerged wreck during a fog In the Block Island harbor, and after a thrilling run of a mile and a half sank at her dock lust as the last passenger got to shore. W ith 125 passengers In terror, En gineer Quinlan stuck to his post with the water slowly filling the engine Boom. When the. boat reached the dock,- Engineer Quinlan was standing Waist deep In water. The gangplank was thrown out and the 125 passengers went ashore safely. The last man had scarcely stepped from' the plank when the steamer careened and sunk, Quin lan being forced to climb a ladder to save himself from drowning. The passengers were panic-stricken. Members of the crew endeavored to assure them that their only chance of tafety was in keeping quiet. Captain Lawrence Dodd, in the meantime, had turned the boat toward New Harbor, giving the signal to the engineer to put on all possible power. The steamer was the only one to reach the island that day. The sea Was unusually heavy, the weather was bad and a fog hung over the entire Block Island Sound. The New Shoreham. however, steamed on its usual schedule time, but the heavy sea and the fog were re sponsible for her going astray after the inland waters were reached and she went against the old mud scow that was sunk in the Sound recently. The impact was followed by a panic on board. The passengers rushed to the guard rails. Demands were made for the lowering of boats to take them ashore, which only a mile and a half away could not be seen through the fog. Members of the crew were sent throughout the decks to reassure the passengbrs that they would be landed. There was a hole in the hull of the boat through which the water was pouring. All the pumps were in use, but the water was constantly rising. Engineer Quinlan ordered more coal when he, with his firemen, was stand ing knee deep in water. The passengers above in the mean time had come to believe that their scare was a needless one. The boat went on through the fog, seemingly as if nothing had happened. Not one of the scores of passengers knew that below in the hot holds of the engine- room men were standing in water, which was rising inch by inch, to shovel coal into the furnaces. No signal was given from above to cause alarm. The boat made its mile and a half and drew up to the pier. The passengers were- urged to go ashore hastily. Just as the announcement was made to the captain that all were ashore the boat careened and went down. The men below all got out safely. They were heroes of the situation. En gineer Quinlan was in the water to his shoulders before he left his post. The firemen had been no less courageous. ■With the careening of the boat the water swept over the fire in the boil ers, causing a steam that almost suf focated the men below. They climbed the ladders to the main deck, where they were met by Captain Dodd. “Bully boys,” he said. “You did great work. How can I compliment you? I was rushing down to find you. I was afraid that some of you had per ished.”Five men who were down in the hold With the water rising up to their arm pits obeyed the captain's signals, and remained at their posts regardless of the dangers that they knew existed. The captain also knew it, for they had signalled him back. The passenges scarcely realized it until they saw the vessel tip to one side and sink. The New Shoreham was built in Bos ton, Mass., in 1901, and is owned by the town of Block Island. It has been plying between Providence and Block Island. A dispute, which has virtually become an issue In local political af fairs, was raised over the payment due for the vessel. A wrecking craft from New London was sent to aid in saving the steamer. The waves at the tim'e were beating her against the rocks. KILLS FIVE TO SAVE LIFE. Georgia Woodsman, Attacked by Ne groes, Uses Revolver Effectively.

SENATOR DRYDEN FRAMES- BILL G overnm ent to B e Avked to Take Ouel the Snpervision o f AU U fe Inennrace Com panies N ow G overned by Stat« I»aws~N o O pposition to th e U ovem ent A pparent at Present. Oyster Bay.—President Rooaevelt has pledged the full support of the Admin istration for. the enactment of a law providing for Federal supervision of life insurance: The regular session of Congress, when it meets next Decem ber, will be asked to pass the neces sary legislative measure. This became known at the close of a conference at Sagamore Hill by the President)-United States Senator John F. Dryden1 from New Jersey, and James M. Beck, formerly United States Assistant Attorney-General. These men are considered as leading authorities on the subject of life insurance. Senator Drydeu is president of the Prudential Life Insurance Company, of New Jersey; Mr. Beck is attorney for the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, of New York. President Roosevelt, it is kuown, ex pressed himself as heartily in favor of the proposed change. He touched on the subject In his last message to Con gress when he said: “The business of insurance vitally affects the great majority of the people of the United States, and is national and not local in its application. It in volves a multitude of transactions, among the people of the different States and between American compa nies and foreign Governments. I urge that Congress carefully consider whether the power of the Bureau of Corporations cannot constitutionally be extended to cover interstate transac tions In insurance.” Senator Dryden, at the last session of Congress, introduced a bill in which were embodied the recommendations made by the President in his message. This measure, at the request of the Senator himself, was sent to the Sen ate Committee on Judiciary, where it remained when Congress adjourned. According to the plan decided on at this later conference Senator Dryden, when Congress meets again, will intro duce a bill framed largely on the same lines as the old one, but containing ad ditional provisions for the remedy of defects in existing legislation, since brought to light, and amended In some respect so as to meet constitutional re quirements. Senator Dryden arrived here on the 12.20 train, which brought several oth er visitors for the President. Mr. Beck had planned to arrive at the same time, but missed his train at Long Isl and City. Fifteen minutes later, how ever, he arrived on a special, which he had engaged on short notice and which made a record run to Oyster Bay. Sen ator Dryden and Mr. Beck took lunch eon with the President and Mrs. Roose velt at Sagamore Hill. “We discussed the question of Federal supervision of life insurance,” said Mr. Beck, on his return, “and had a very satisfactory talk with the Presi dent on the subject.” “Will you say what the President’s attitude on the question is?” Mr. Beck was asked. “It would- be presumption on my part should I propose to express an opinion on behalf of the President,” Mr. Beck replied. “All that I can say was that our interview with him was highly satisfactory to us. “There is not the slightest doubt in the minds of any of the men identified with the great insurance interests that the time has come to take supervision of them away from the States and lodge it with the Federal Government. I have heard no open dissent from that opinion from any quarter. The chief difficulty with which we are confronted lies in Uie framing of a measure which will meet with the constitutional re quirements. There seems to be.consid- erable difference of opinion among leading lawyers in this country regard ing the constitutionality of a Federal life insurance law.” “Do yftu expect to be able to over come this obstacle?” Mr. Beck was asked. “Well, we would hardly undertake this work unless we thought we could frame a measure conservative enough to commend itself to the highest court.” Mr. Beck, when asked to outline the proposed legislation, said that in. his opinion Senator Dryden’s bill would meet all the requirements admirably and that all the great insurance com panies favored the measure. This bill calls for the establishment of an in surance department In connection with the Bureau of Corporations In the De partment of Commerce and Labor, which already is authorized to collect information regarding insurance com panies doing an inter-State business.

Xo well-informed man of unprej udiced mind wilt deny that the good of the State and country de mands two strong parties here, as in every other section, yet there is no disposition to- even hope that anything good is to come .out of the present Republican organi zation. It is so WeddtCd to its idols of office-bolding and general graft that it cannot command tbe confi dence of the peopie. As a matter of fact the Republican party In.the South cannot grow from the present foundation because there is nothing solid to bnild on. Xo, the negro was by no means the oniy thing that kept men who would natural ly have joined it aloof; it mast be changed from beginning to end be fore it can be a factor in anySonth- ern States, no matter how badly an opposition party is needed. As a matter of fact, artificial conditions have much to do with holding the Democratic party together, but these conditions are c,reat;ed by the missdeeds of the Republican party. The above is taken from the Charlotte Observ.er. tt could well have added that the Republican party can never be great in North Carolina so Jopg as it is the refuge of sore heads aud the disappointed from the ot,her paities. Deserters cannot be relied on to make the best soldiers.—Mocksville Courier. Tn the first place the first part of this article was taken from the ChadQtte Observer and sounds very small coming from the source it did , Thereareas good men iu. the Re publican party as can be found in .the Democratic party, and no one knows it better than Mr. J. P. iCaldwell, and the Republicans are losing no sleep over Bro. Joe’s case ,of acute indigestion. There is one. thing to be commended, the Re publican party is hunting up its grafters and thieves and prosecut ing them, while onr Democratic •friends are making whitewash re ports and shielding its thieves and rascal? by every means in its pow-' er, even to appropriating money out of the State Treasury to defend its election thieves. Tbe peoples’ taxes are thus being misappropri ated for base and vile purposes,aud they are going to be heard from at no late day. Xow as to the !after part of tbe article, from the facile pen ot the Colonel’s ponderous corporosity,we have this to say: these men who have left the Democratic party and ,i^iued the Republican party were very welcome at the Democratic- table until they refused to s e t w,Uh the Diviue Rulers any longer. Jf, such people hnr-t the Ivepnblicau' paity why does the Colonel, and his crowd, welcome recruits into their ranks from the Republican party! Now, the good book (the Bible) tells us to turn from otir evil ways and,cease serving ,th.e devil, and turn nnto.the Jjord for -he will receive and pardon .us fro,m ail onr transgressions; ,that !being .trae, vheu a man finds out that he is with the wrong crowd, and is aidiilgand abetting wrong and voting against his and his country’s best interests, is lie not a fool to longer remain in the Detnooratic party? The Colonel may call them sore-heads, and such like. .Imt it is not going to deter ,honest, intelligent men from tor- Sakiqg tbe,old .rotten hulk of De- ipocracy;and joining haudswith the party of progress and prosperity. A fool and a jackass never change their minds. Take your choice; we are neither. icy worthy of consideration,; and the people have caught on to their false cries of opposition and are voting for a party that- not only has good men, bnt living issues which, appeal to the intelligence and com mon sense.of the masses. Yes, Mr Ronseyelt is a great man, and is making a great President, and the great common people know it, and it’s going to be harder than ever for onr Democratic friends to ever succeed in future campaiguB, and they (the people) ace catching: on to the same racket in State af fairs, and will turn the dispoiters and hypocrites out. Yon ,can’t de ceive‘all the people all the time, and the signs of the .times indicate that there is going to be a revolu tion in Southern politics. The de basing o.f our public school system to partiziin ends, and the using of the old soldier as a cats-paw to pull out chestnuts for designing office seekers will soon come to an end. No, Mr. Post, it does not matter how badiy off campaign estimates of a man may be, but it shows the littleness and rottenness of theDem- ocratic machines in these Southern States. You have been weighed in the balance and fonnd waniing,and the people now want your scalps, aud will get them. The policies persued by the Denioerats in the South have done .us enough injury, and the people are becoming arous ed to the, importance of a change; so begin to put. your house in order. y the south as a the eve of great pros-'W Nf. ^ { J® wafMKu OKLY SIX NAMJ58 ^amfnbcwsi t^e old reliable p y-1^an man of the .State, aso.DS? book or music S1We , J seu^ 1'*Jn 81 x names or ft 'vant t0 IjHy either a l l M1ASDBliVVS, Greemibof-o, K.

Oyster Bay, L.| I., Special.—The Czar and the Mikado are the determining factors in the pending peace negotia tions. Although the negotiations tem porarily are suspended at Portsmouth, they are proceeding actively through President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill. He is in practically constant communi cation with the St. Petersburg and Tokio governments., By both of the warring nations his good offices have been sought and his efforts to bring their plenipotentiaries into accord and thus prevent a failure of the peace conference are unremitting. Early in the day the President had an extended conference with Baron Kanko, the recognized confidential agent of the Japanese government, in this country. Neither the President nor Baron Kaneka would discuss the nature of the interview. While the baron’s ex pressed views of the peace negotiations were not optimistic, he left a distinct impression that the last word by no means had been spoken, and that hope of a successful issue of the conference .was still strong. He protested that Japan had no wish to do anything to humiliate Russia, but expressed the belief that the Japanese terms were quite reasonable and that no further concessions would be made. After the departure of Baron Kane ko, President Roosevelt was engaged with Acting Secretary Barnes for two hours in the consideration of dispatches received and in the preparation of those to be sent. Portsmouth, N. H., Special.—The Japanese plenipotentiaries, at the con clusion of the afternoon session of the peace conference, threw the cards upon the table. It was the dramatic moment —the moment to which all the previous proceedings of the conference had led. The protocols involving agreement upon eight of the twelve conditions or iginally presented by the Japanese had been signed. One side or the other must make a move or the plenipotentiaries had reached the parting of the ways. The adversaries faced each other across the table. Of course it was well under stood what would happen, but that, in a way, only made it more dramatic. Fig uratively, President Roosevelt suddenly entered the conference room. KOMURA OFFERS COMPROMISE. Mr. Witte sat silent, and the move In the great diplomatic game passed to Japan. Baron Komura, in a few words, explained that Japan in her great desire for peace, was ready to make certain ‘'modifications” of the original articles in the hope that Rus sia could find it possible to accept them. He then presented in writing to Mr. Witte the compromise proposition which President Roosevelt had sug gested. It was concrete and specific and it followed the lines outlined in these dispatches. It offered to withdraw articles 9, providing for the payment by Russia of Japan’s bill for the cost of war, on conditions that Russia would accept article 5, which provides for the cession of the Island of Sakhalin, so modified as to include an arrangement for the purchase by Russia of the northern half of the island for 1,200 million yen. In addition it offered to Withdraw entirely articles U and 12 (surrender of the interned warships and limitation upon Russia’s sea power in the far East). It was President Roosevelt’s compromise and Mr. Witte knew its contents as well as Baron Komura. The question of whether he had been building was put to the test. PROMPT REFUSAL BY WITTE. Without a moment’s hesitation, Mr. Witte explained that the modification proposed wa? merely a sham, a change of phraseology, a diplomatic attempt to “dorer la pifule” and ask Russia to pay war tribute under another name. He could not accent it. He told Baron Komura Russia wanted peace. She had given the proofs in accepting every article involving the issues upon which the war was fought, but she could fight, and money for tribute she would not pay, not a kopeck. He asked Baron Komura to withdraw all demands for tribute. And so the plenipotentiaries separated, to meet again on Saturday, ostensibly to permit Mr. Witte to place In writing, as the rules of the con ference require, his reply to the Jap anese compromise proposition. In reality, the adjournment over two days ■was to give each side an opportunity to consult its government for the last time. CZAR APPEARS UNYIELDING. The outlook is black—many believe it was never so black as now. The Japar nese are not talking. Indeed they appear to be more taciturn and more reso lute than ever. The only possble line of further Japanese concession is consid ered to lie in the direction of a diminu tion of the amount of the purchase money demand. The decision rests, therefore, as it has from the first, with Russia. Unless the Czar agrees to yield between now and Saturday, the end is likely to come on that day. Anl the in dications from Peterhof, instead of raising the chances of a change of heart on the part of the Czar, seem to indicate even a firmer determination to yield neither territory nor indemnity, To Retain Collector’s Office. Washington, Special. — Representa tive Rixey and a number of prominent citizens of Alexandria, Va., called on Commissioner Yerkes1 of the Internal Revenue Bureau, and were given a hearing in opposition to the proposed change in the location of the principal office of the collector of internal reve nue of the sixth Virginia district from Alexandria to Aibington, the home of Mr. Summers, the present collector. Ten days were given the delegation in which to file a written argument against the change, PEACE IN THE LAST DITCH Mikacioo ’ s Representatives at Ports- Mouth Are Evidestlr Worried and the Russians Think They Have Them in a Corner as Regards the Public Opinion of the World. Portsmouth, N. H., Special.—The life of the peace conference seems to hang by a thread. At 1« o’clock, after a con ference lasting three-quarters Of ' an hour between Mr. Takaira and Mr. Witte in the latter’s room, the an nouncement of a postponement was made. Mr. Witte explained. that Mr. Takahlra had told him that no in structions had reached him from Toklo, and fearing none might be received be fore the meeting scheduled for Monday afternoon, he had suggested the pro priety of postponing the meeting until Tuesday. To this, Mr. Witte said he had readily assented. Mr. Takahira made the following statement: “Inasmuch as this' conference was Initiated by the friendly offices of your President, after consultation we feel that we should be ccautious about ter minating its labors.” SAYS “ALMOST HOPELESS.” Pressed as to whether he regarded the situation as hopeless, Mr. Taka- hira said: “No, not hopeless, but almost hopeless.” This, in itself, from one who has spoken always in the most guarded fashion, is sufficient to show the des- peratness of the situation. The real crisis in the negotiations is at.hand. It is very acute, but if it can be tided Over for a few dayB without a rup ture, a basis of peace acceptable to both sides may come very suddenly. But to save the situation now, Japan must speak. If on Tuesday she has nothing to offer, all is over. Mr. Witte, even if he would, is powerless to take a new step. His hands are tied. He now occupies the role of an imperial messenger who transmits his master’s orders to Baron Komura, and Baron Komura turns them over to Tokio for the response. Will Hever Pay Indemnity. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—There is the best of reasons and authority for declaring again, with increased em phasis, that Russia will never consent to the payment of an indemnity to Japan. Such payment would so gravely menace the vital interests of the State as to make.this article in the Japanese terms utterly impossible of accept ance. Furthermore, there exist the same reasons and authority for the declara tion that if Japan withdrew her in demnity demand peace would practi cally be assured, as the Russian atti tude on the other three points, includ ing the cession of Sakhalin, does not preclude the possibility of reaching a satisfactory settlement on these points. Indemnity is the crux of the whole matter. If this question can be ar ranged, it is believed here that all other questions on which there has been a divergence of opinion will prob ably settle themselves. Adjournment to Saturday.Portsmouth, N. H., Special.—Official statement: At Wednesday’s sitting of the con ference the protocols were signed in due form, after which the conference adjourned until Saturday. Counterfeit Gold Coins. Valdosta, Ga., Special.—J. J. Parnell, a well-known man, was arrested here by Deputy United States Marshal Good win Saturday night, charged with mak ing counterfeit money. It is said Par nell’s specialty was a $5 coin, which could pass right along as gold. It was made out of some cheap composition and covered with a gold wash. Par nell has been working in the gunsmith shop of W. H. Goodwin and he is said to have shown Goodwin some of the money he had made and asked Goodwin to become his partner in the work. Goodwin was frightened by the proposi tion and the first chance he got he smashed the moulds to pieces with a hammer. The' broken moulds are in the hands of the officers. Mutineers Courtmartialed. Litau, Russia, Aug. 28.—The court- martial of 137 mutineers of the battle ship Kniaz Potemkine has just been completed. Eight of the prisoners were sentenced to be shot, but it was recom mended that their sentence be com muted to life imprisonment. Others were sentenced to various terms of im prisonment at haTd labor. Turfman Gets Jail Sentence. New York, Special.—John E. Mad den, the Kentucky turfman, owner of several fast horses, two of which were entered in the futurity, was convicted of criminal contempt of court, fined $250 and sentenced to serve thirty days i nthe Raymond street jail in Brook lyn to-day for ,ignoring a subpoena of the Supreme Court of this State. Mad den was summoned to appear before a commissioner in Saratoga during the racing season there to be questioned in his wife’s suit for divorce, but failed to respond. Lynching at Newbern, N. C. Newbem, Special.—John Moore, the negro who brutally assaulted the wife of Postmaster George T. Eubanks, at Clarks, with a meat axe, was taken from the Craven county jail at 1:30 o’clock Sunday morning and lynched. The mob was composed mostly of countrymen, neighbors of Eubanks, but there were Newbern citizens in the crowd. The farmers arrived in town about midnight. Pire at Newberne. Newbem, Special.—Fire broke out in the dry house of Blades Hosier}', mill at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon and consumed the greater part of the fac tory. The fire raged nercely and two small tenant houses nearby were burn ed. A strong northeastern wind threatened the entire section of the town with destruction, but the firemen had the flames under control before any further damage was done. The cause of tne fire was unknown. - The ciamage, so far as is known, is. $3,000. YELLi FEVER’S 1 « Conditions Dave Not Improved as Expected MANY NEW CASES DEVELOPED Chief Mississippi’s Board of Health Announces the Presence of the Yel low Fever and From Six to Ten Cases—New Cases in New Orleans Drops to 31 and Deaths Reach Rec ord Number Thus Far of 13. New Orleans, Special.—Official re port to 6 p. m.: New cases, 31. Total to date, 1,743. Death, 13. Total, 402. NeW foci, 12, Total, 402. Remaining under treatment, 199. Board of health at Natchez, Miss., pronounces six to ten cases yellow fever there. The record shows the smallest num ber of new cases since August 6, and the largest number of deaths on any day since the fever made its appear ance. The unusual number of deaths is attributed, in a measure, to the change in the weather, Sunday being cool and pleasant, in great contrast to the weather of the preceding week. Three well-known merchants are among the new cases. Only two names that can be traced to Italian origin are among the 31. Of the deaths, eight are Italians. Two died in the Charity Hospital and two in the Emergency. All but two of the deaths were down town. • The principal news from outside the city was the announcement from Nat chez of the discovery of six cases there. Other reports from the country are as follows Amelia—two cases. Bayou Boeuf, one case. Prean Grove, three cases and one death. Elizabeth plantation, one death. . Hanson City, four cases and one death. St. Rose, two cases. Port Barrow, two cases. Ninth ward of Jefferson parish, one case. Lake Providence, three cases. Gulfport, three cases. Mississippi City, no new cases. The Southern Pacific Railroad, at the request of the State board of health, has put on a special coach for the accommodation of people travel ing between infected points on that road. It will be run every other day. Quite a controversy has developed between City Health Officer Kohnike and Dr. Joseph H. Holt, at one time president of the State Board of health. Dr. Holt, in the course of an address before a meeting, passed some severe strictures on the city health officer, who, when he heard the report of the address in the morning papers, wrote him, asking if he had been correctly quoted. Dr. Holt has made a rather warm reply. Fever Until Cold Weather. Pensacola, Fla., Special.—Dr. Porter, State health officer and assistant sur geon of the Marine Hospital Service, who is here expressed the opinion that yellow fever is not likely to spread in New Orleans as it has in the past, but he does not believe the disease will be entirely stamped out before cold weather. Dr. Porter said: "The time to com mence work to eradicate the mosquito and to clean up is winter. This was shown by the manner In which Havana was cleaned. Most of the work was. done during the winter season and when summer appeared it found the city in good condition. You cannot expect any city if any size to be cleaned in a month or two months, as it re quires time and hard work to place it in condition.” Strike in Foctory. Warsaw, By Cable.—The strikes in the factories at Warsaw and Lodz have ended. Trains are running from Warsaw on time. They are guarded and driven by soldiers. The wholesale arrests which have been made here in clude leading members of the Polish Socialist party. Several persons have been conveyed to to the Fortress of Modlin, because jails set apart for po litical offenders are full. Kills Two and is Killed. Selma, Ala., Special.—Oliver Lott, a negro laborer at the lumber mill of G. Talley in Tunnel Springs, during a quarrel with John and Henry Helton over a debt, opened fire on them, killing John Helton and seriously wounding Henry Helton. The negro then fled and barricaded himself in a house. A posse of citizens under the leadership of G. Talley attempted to arrest him. They surrounded the house, but Lott refused to ■ surrender, and fired on the crowd. Talley was mortally wounded and died a few hours later. The posse then fired on the negro and his body was afterwards found riddled with bullets. Bad Freigkt Wreck. Charleston, S. C., Special.—A local freight on the Greenville & Laurens Railroad was wrecked near Barksdale four miles from Laurens. It is thought that the accident occurred on account of an iron bolt on the track.

There have been three wrecks near this point within the past six months and foul play is suspected. No Attempt to Suppress Evidence,' San Francisco, Special.—Referring to a cable dispatch from' Honolulu which intimated that efforts had been made to induce the autopsy, surgeon and phy sicians who attended Mrs. Leland Stan ford at the time of her death, to modify their first statements regarding poison ing, Attorney Wilson, representing the Stanford- estate, and Detective Captain CaIlunden denied that there was any such attempt. They said all legitimate (motors’ bills bad been paid, ,DEATH SENTEN6I COMMUTED But BIe Promises Never Hereafter to Appeal to Any Governor For tke Reduction of His Sentence—Gover nor Believes tke Man is Worthy of Death. News and Observer. Governor Glenn has commuted the death sentence di Will Exumj of Le noir county, to life imprisonment at hard labor in the State penitentiary at Raleigh. Exum was tried at the September term, 1904, of Lenoir crim inal court and convicted of murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to be hanged. Appeal after appeal was made to the governor after the Supreme Court refused to find error in the ruling of the lower court. Large representations Cf IaWjrerS and prominent citizens appeared again and agaain before the governor, some urging a commutation, while others as strongly opposed it. Once compell ed by pressure to give a written statement ns to what he would do in the case, Governor Glenn wrote that commutation was denied as Exum was guilty of murder in the first degree. At last the murderer’s attorneys headed by ex-Governor Chas. B. Ay- cock, petitioned for a commutation on the ground that there was no pre meditation in the commission of the atrocious crime. This and the arnest heart-rending appeals of the ex-Gov ernor have saved Will Exum'S life. Governor Glenn’s raseons for grant ing the commutation are as follows: “ On appeal to Supreme Court, no error was found in the ruling of the lower court, and the judgment of the court was affirmed. The prisoner under the rules of law, having applied to me for commutation from the death penalty to life imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary, I have read and re-erad the evidence and consid ered carefully everything urged, both by counsel for the State and counsel in favor of commutation of the pris oner’s sentence. “ The prisoner, himself, acknwl- edges the great atrocity of his crime by filing a written statement, signed in the presence of witnesses to the ef fect that if the extreme penalty of the law is not enforced against him, that he will never hereafter appeal to any Governor for the reduction of his sentence “ In my own opinion, there was ample evidence of murder in the first degree, and the prisoner would receive but a just sentence to pay the penalty if his crime by the forfiture of his life. However, nine of the jurors, the trial judge, the judge delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court, and another of the Supreme Court judges who had carefully examined the case strongly recommended commutation of the prisoner’s sentence This is also urged by thousands of the best citizens of Lenoir, Greene and Pitt counties, and while a great many good men oppose the commutation, public sentiment seems to favor it on the ground that there was lack of premedi tation on the part of the prisoner. “ Therefore, while I still believe he W guilty of an awful crime, acting in favor of life, and on account of the strong recommendation of those who heard and tried the case, I commute the sentence from death to life im prisonment, believing that if I err it is better to do so on the side of hu manity than run the risk of doing a wrong that could never be recalled The sheriff of Lenoir county is therefore directed to immediately take Will Ezum and convey him to the proper authorities at the State's pnson in Raleigh, there to be confined at hard labor for the remainder of his life “ This, 21st day of August, 1905, “ R.

Insurance Commissioner Young says there is an unusual activity in the State in the formation of Building & Loan Associations. The last Legislature placed these associations in the Insurance Department under the charge of the commissioner. At the time there were forty-four-Building & Loan Asociations in the State. The remarkable success that has attend ed their work in the State, especially in the building Up of the cities and towns where they are located, has prompted other business men of other places to take up the organization of asoeiations in their cities and towns. Seven associations have already been organized since the adjournment of the Legislature and samany more are now being promoted. Nothing does more to build up a city or town than a good, well managed Building & Loan Association, said Mr. Young, and there is no safer investment than the stock in one of them. They can run at the smallest expense of any business institution in the State, and many of them in the State, that have done a very large amount of business have a record of never having lost one cent in any busines transaction.

Newport, R-. t.—Hdd U not been for the perfect discipline on the battleship lCeatsarge five men, the crew of the two-masted schooner, N. & lSailut, would have behb Ifeowned-When, in a deime tog, the warship ripped a big hole in the side of the smaller craft, As it was, the men were ail rescued from the water five tntiei eaSt bf Point Judith, and tile schooner, which ordin arily- Would have sunk, was held on the surface while the carpenters and diverS from the ICearsarge Wpafeed her so thoroughly that IsBe was able within a few hours to proceed on her way. It was one of the most unusual marine accidents ever recorded, The Kearsarge1 0U6 uf the BSttiesiiiri fleet of the North Atlantic SUuad'rUi commanded by Re&r4.affi:irai Evans, had taken U Short practice spin at sea, and When the weather became bad the Signal to run for Newport Harbor was given. The fleet proceeded UBder full steam until the fog suddenly descend ed, when the boats reduced to half speed. jThe big horns and whistles of the Ksarsarge were kept at WOrk1 but the fog was so thick that CaptaiB -Johh 'Andrews, of the BaiiUt1 WBd1 Witil hiS son and three men-, bad been 'on a fish ing cruise-, CoUld hot locate the battle ship, Captain Raymond Rodgers, of the Kearsarge, as soon as he saw the schooner ahead, gave the order to re verse. A molBent later the steel prow of the battleship cut through the port bide of the Ballut. Captain Rodgers gave the command at once to lower away all boats, th e warship’s crew fairly flew 15 tile Siflaii boats and had them river the side be fore they stopped to see what had-hap pened, They found the Ballut quickly filling, listed badly to one side and in imminent danger of sinking. Captain Andrews and his son had been thrdwfl into the sea and the three Uther men were struggling near them. The small boats picked them up within a few mo ments and carried them back to the Kearsarge. Captain Rodgers then ran his ship alongside the sinking schooner nnd. swtmg his big steel cranes into action. They were capable of lifting a dozen times the weight of the schooners nnfl when chains were passed UUder tile Ballut she was safe. The divers ftiid mechanics from the warship then set to work. The latter boarded the damaged vessel while she hung suspended from the' monster cranes, and after the hold was pumped but began to patch up the big hole stove in the schooner’s side by the bat- tleship’s steel prow. The divers worked from the outside, and In about an hour the Ballut was ready to proceed on her way. In the meantime the rest of the bat tleship fleet had proceeded to this city to report the accident. The fog pre vented Captain Rodgers from using his wireless apparatus. The racing crew of the Kearsarge had been pitted to row a twelve-oared race with the Hibernian Boat Club, of Newport, the stake being $1000 a side. Captain Rodgers was anxious for his men to reach Newport for the race. Without a word, however, the men went at the work of standing by and repairing the Ballut while the cranes held her up, and there was not a murmur about the purse which might have been for feited. When Admiral Evans reached here with his other ships,. 14,000 persons lined the shores to see the cutter race, and the local crew was ready for the contest. When informed of the acci dent, however, they gladly agreed to the postponement of Uie race until the next morning. When the Kearsarge’s divers report ed her in good shape, Captain Andrews and his crew returned to the Ballut and set sail for Portmoutb,-R. I. DUNNE SEES PROFIT.

Sbe was only one of the many secondary wives of the Emperor, Hien Fung, but it was her son who succeeded to the throne at the age of five, and through bis long minority, she held the reigns of power. The mysterious death of the young man shortly after he attained his ma jority and assumed authority is only one of the many crimes that have been laid at the door of tbe Empres?. It is the contrast between such a char acter and such a career as that of Tsi An and tbe natural environment and personality of an American girl like Miss Roosevelt that will go to make the meeting between the two so in tensely picturesque. MORE BURTON CHARGES. Assertion That the Kansas Senator Practiced Other Frauds. Washington, D. C -T h e publication of the charges against Senator Burton of taking fees from the Chickasaw In dians while he was Senator unloosed the tongues of high officials in the In terior Department, and two other se rious charges came out. One is that Burton never made any appearance in business for the Chickasaws before the Interior Department, but that he represented to the head men of the tribe that he did, and collected large fees from them for his alleged services. Burton, before he became Senator, represented to Secretary Hitchcock.it is said, that he bad been selected by the Cblckasaws as their counsel, and asked him, as Secretary of the Inter ior, to approve his contract with the tribe. Mr; Hitchcock refused to do so on the ground that the Chickasaws did not need an attorney. Notwlth- standing this rebuff Burton, it is charged, made the Indians think he was looking after their interests, and proceeded to collect his pay from their funds, which were not under the con trol of thejSecretary of the Interior. Another charge against the Kansan is that while he was Senator be pre sented a claim from a ranchman in Texas to tfie effect that the man lost 800 cattle during a fight between Uni ted States forces and Comanche In dians, which took place on his ranch. The amount claimed was $25,000, for which Burton succeeded In getting judgment in favor of his client. A number of men who lived in the vicinity are said to have reported to the department that while there was a fight the claimant never had 800 cat tle. but had at the time about eighty, and they were fully 200 miles away from the scene of the fight.

Kansas City, Mo,—In the small towns new stores are being opened everywhere. For several years im provements have been chiefly confined to residences and repairs to buildings. Empty houses were filled, and unoc cupied stores began to have tenants. Now there is scarcely an empty store building, and many new structures are seen In almost every village. Some little towns in the wheat belt have added a dozen store rooms to their capacity this year. This means a great deal of additional trade, and is the best index of the effect of generous returns from the fields. In the furnishing of their homes the farmers are also making great strides. Common furniture of the varnished oak variety is not good enough for the av erage farm house these days. The piush parlor suite is a drug on the market. Going into a farm house 200 miles west of here the other day, a vis itor found it fitted out with mission furniture, with Flemish oak bookcases and Remington pictures on the wall. It was typical of the tendency toward better taste in adornment. This indi cates a new era in business, for it calls for a higher standard of supply in thew holesale market. Sardine Famine. Three years ago there was a famine among the fishing folk in Brittany, ow ing to the total disappearance of sar dines from the French waters. This year the distress will be terrible, for the sardine season is a complete fail ure. Six hundred boats were expected to return to Douarnenez, France, full of sardines, but they came back empty, with the exception of about fifty, and these had only small hauls. The bait used by the fishermen, which comes from Newfoundland, is also very dear in Brittany, costing 471, or nearly $10, a ton. Santos-DumonFs New Trial. M: Santos-Dumont made an ascent at!

I Vast Crowds Stou and Gaze at the Novel Spectacle—AerOnaDt SnUed a Sioug 3>l8tnnce< New York City.—For the second time since his arrival in this city, A. Roy Khabenshue treated New Yorkers to a view Sf a real airship soaring thou- ;§4iid§ M feet hbrivfl tiieiii tind re sponding to the demands of the daring navigator in almost perfect fashion. The exhibition was even more remark able than the previous one when Knabenshue sailed around a Longacre Square skyscraper, AlhiSfit IOiOdO persons had gathered near the lot at Sixty-sficond street and Central Barlt west ISng before the Ildur fife, tbs. staff; .fifld; fiftef the ship ascended; business Iri one of the busiest sectionfi 6f tlifi Citjii from Fourteefith to Seventy-second streets and from Eighth avenue to the East River, prac tically was suspended. The tact that ail airship was sailing ovef thfi city Bfiemfid td have a magic charm: As it appeared in the sky fac tories, stores, hotels and cars were emptied; and every one stood still with eyes tiirnfid toward thfi strange craft. Evefl Bfilievufi Hospital felt the. thrill, and dfii soon as the Ship was Sighted at tendants, surgeons aiid many patients rushed for the street. Tbe police had their hands full along the entire lane of flight, and when the craft finally was carried back to its tfiili tilfi general marvel Was that no Onfi had Deeii injured severely in the iiiariy crushes: a . Aflditiriiiai excitement was caused by the announcement that' Knabensbue would throw checks for $100 apiece from his ship on tne voyage. He scat tered a mass of papers, and every time anything white descended there was a mad scramble for possession. Instead of checks the crowd found most of tne white sheets were pieces Of newspaper, and there was anger at tiiri ihatner in which the crowds had been fooled. It was a little after 2 p. m. that the airship wafi ready to go up. Knaben- qhue stepped bn the thin framework attached to the balloon, tilted the nose of thfi ship upward and began to as cend. The craft left the lot gracefully, responding to every movement of the navigator, and in less than a minute it had cleared the fence and was sailing- over Central Park. A crowd of 15,000 watched the start, and a great cheer went up as the aeronaut appeared. The reserves from five precincts were on hand to maintain order, but the first view of the ship caused the policemen to irisfi all interest in the crowd and de- vdtfi their attention to watching the flight After going up about 1500 feet Kna- benshue started in a northerly direc tion, heading against the wind. He went through several maneuvres to show; the dirigibility of his balloon; then, turning around, he went south east. As he started down town the cheers that went up were deafening.As soon fis the ship was sighted in upper Broadway business and traffic came practically to a standstill. Mo- tormen stopped their cars and jumped to the street to get a better view of the strange craft. Passengers sprang from their seats, and In a moment the tradi tional hurry of New Yorkers was for gotten. - No one seemed to care about anything except the airship. It was Knabenshue’s intention to cir cle the Flatiron building, but because of the strong wind he was unable to do so. In his efforts to accomplish the feat he rose to a height of 5000 feet, until the big ship looked no bigger than the ordinary toy balloon. AVhen he gave up the attempt he turned north at Twenty-third street and Third ave nue. ■ The ship had descended to about 1000 feet just before reaching Twenty-third street, when the navigator slipped to the rear of the framework and tilted its nose upward. It rose almost per pendicularly, and to those in the street it seemed the young man surely would be killed. He remained in that posi tion until the ship had descended about 3000 ffiet.. Then he headed back to ward the starting point. Reaching the park, Knabenshue steered the ship over the trees to the ball ground. As he came down it looked as if he would land on top of the trees, but by deft manipulation he guided his ship upward again until he had passed them. Then he descended slowly and gracefully to a knoll, on which the ship landed. As it came down every one In the street rushed for the ball ground. The 200 bluecoats who had been sent to tbe park were helpless units In the sea of humanity. Ab Knabenshue de scended he was greeted with round after round of cheers, and men and women fairly mobbed him In their ef forts to shake his hands. Before the police could interfere the crowd had pushed the navigator back on the framework of the ship. Then, lifting it on their shoulders, they carried him in triumph back to the lot.

Health is still fairly good in tllis section. Kow and then a case ol typhoid fever. Marcus R. D.Brown was right sick last week. butisbet ter at this writing. Littleton W.

It seems that Plow Boy has a whole store of old relics laid away and gets down only a few at a time. Well, we did Dot do much observ ing before the civil war; but while we have been cheated out of our sweeheart we have some 15 or 20 of her letters yet with the Confed erate stamps on them that were sent to the camps along the lines. We guess that Plow Boy would like to see and take pattern from some of them, but we canuot spare them. There is also an old stone house in tkissection that was built before the revolutionary war. It is still occupied. It has port holes in the gables; said to have been put there to shoot through at the British. At one time it was used for a prison to keep the Colonists in, and until recently there was a mark on the side of the window that was made there by a British guard who struck at one of the prisoners as he leaped .out of the window. It is a relic worth seeing. Kow if Plow Boy can bring up something that will compare in size and weight with this we will give it up. O b se iiv EU. w ro ITEMS.
