A t Hingham he iiiis been entertained by General Blackman, and was entertained by Governor W olcott at luncheon at the Union club, to which were in vited Secretary Long, Mayor Quin cy and thirty prominent men. Tne Misses W heeler were entertaiiied in the meantime by the Mayflower club. After luncheonGen. Wheel er visited the public library. In the eveiiing ho attended a hop and concert at Music Hall and also vis ited the theater for a short time. He left for New York at midnight but the Misses Wheeler will remain here a few days. All the big coal corporations of Altoona, Pa., in the bituminous coal fields shipping to tidewater agreed today to advance the price of pick mined coal ftrom Ibrty-five to fifty cents per ton. The increase affects twenty tUousand miners. This action was inevitable ever since the Berwiad W hite company advanced their prices to fifty cents ■I month ago. Men of c.impeting arms Iiecaine discontented and fi nally called a eonvention at Clear field today to consider a strike.Thc :ietiou of the operators, however, forestalled a strike and the conven tion emled in a sort of jubilee.

President McKinley has not def initely decided to issue a call for volunteers for the Philipnines, but it^is regarded as practically certain that he will do so in a few days,the number of volunteers to be called is to be decided by Gen. Otis, who has been asked to state how many men he’ wants. S^retary Alger says that G^n. Otis has understood from the first that he conld have as many men' as he considered neces sary to put down the FiHpino revolt. There will be no d’ faculty in getting as many volunteers as may be call ed for. A number of governors have notified the President of the will ingness of their States to furnish as many as may be wanted, and Gov. Otero, of New Mexico, called iu person to tell President McKinley that his State is ready to furnish a Begiment at a day’s noticejthat the four companies of Koosevelt’s Bough Eiders from that State are ready to a man to enlist for the Philippines. Count de Arcos, the new Spanish minister, arrived in Washington this week and formerly reestablish ed diplomatic relations betw'een the United States and Spain. Col. Henderson’s candidacy for the speakership is having a big boom, and his friends ai-e claiming that his election is already practi cally assured. P^resentative Babcock, of Wisconsin, whose fa miliarity with things Congjessional and his known opposition to make claims for effect, said of the Speak ership campaign: “ The action of the Wisconsin delegation means that Col. Henderson w-ill be recog nized as the only w^estern candidate within thirty days, and practically assures his election as Speaker. Michigan will declare for him, when its delegation meets next week, as will Indiana, and there is no doubt where Minnesota stands. We will get Ohio also, and the Spealtersiiip will be decided long before Congies-s incets.’’. Friends of the other ( andidat<S5,. do not of course, admit .all the claims- -made by thefricniLs of Col. HendersBH^ but they all adniit of a Henderson t)oom. The biuiueis of tho U. .S. Patent oSice is a berometer of the progress and prospe?ity ofthe country. A l though applications for p iteuts are more nnracma? than ever before, the business ofthe pat^jiit office lias now been brought so nearly up to date by Commissioner Duell t hat patents are often gr.anterl, in from four to six weeks. The old and widely known patent l.iw firm of C!. A. Snow & Co., with a record of having obtained more than 20,000 patents for inventors, aud v.^ith clients in every city, town and vil lage in the country, paid Coinmis- sioaer Duell a high compli ment when they said that never iu their weutj^-five yeiii? practice before the patent oifice have applications for patents been so promptly and so intelligeutly acted up™ as now. Hou. Webster Davis,Assistant Sec retary of the Interior,is now known as oue the country’s greatest orators although he is comparatively a young man. Follo'.Ting is an ex tract from his DecoRition day ora tion, at Arlington Cemetary: “Yes, OH these snrvivoi’S march on Deco ration Day. by looking closely you can see between the lines those specter soldiers—the boys w h ) nev er came home, yon can sce,a!so,the phantom flags aud banners floating among them—these weie borne by the boj-8 who never (Moe back. Truly the greatest product of onr nation is our heroes! This nation grows meu. &)me persoaswill tell you that corn is king; some that iron iskingjothers that coal is Idug; then, again, others than cotton is king;but they av3 all mistaken—in this country mao is king. And the nation or country that oiiu grow men of such character and such loftiness of sonl, that they will go down to death, if need be, for au idea, for a principle, can rule the world. For these are the men wtieh make a country great aud a nation strong and iuvinr'ible.” Some of the criticisms of the Pres ident’s civil service order; are made NEGRO DISFBANCHISMENT. To .the Editors ofthe N.Y.OiitlooK. I object to ■ “ negro disfrancliis- ment” because it is iound -ito put the negro in the lead. Every boy in the land wants to vote, whit® or black; this is true. If the black boy cant vote only by securmg an education, he will get that educa tion, yon may rest assiirefl of that. If the white boy can vote by simply being a child or grandchild of a citizen of the United States in 1867 or 1968, ho won’t worry much about education, and yqn may rest assured of that . In Louisiana, where white supremacy iB greatest, ot where, perhaps, the negro is the most thoroughly disenfranchised,the per ceuiage of illiteracy is the greatest in the United States, being 48.8 per cent. In South C ^ Iin a, where the negro is bnt little better off, the percentage is 4.5 per cent. In North Caroltna it is 37.7 per cent., and in Alabama 41 per cent. Illiteracy runs high and education rans low. Now, 5iallwe,as whites, just because we can, put the negro on a pedestal and cover him with the light of learning, and pnt onr own wliite boys in a pit and bury them in ignorance!I object.If there is any stimulus to be gotten for the cause of education ii'om the fact that the man must have the rudiments of an educ^ition befoi-ehe can vote, then, I say, let ns give it to our white boys. A t least, let us deal with them fairly as with the Mack boj's. I am engaged in the education of white boys and girls iu the South. Their salvation can not come through' political eftbrts, the problem is a deeper one. It is education, and that alone, that will save us. W e have already had too much ofthe ]>oUtician and the dem. agogue. Shall we emancipate the negro from the thralldom of igno rance by making for him an educa tional standard in the m atter of franchisee, and continue to enslave our children and our children’s children by making for them no educational staudard whatever.

This nesds long stretches of parallel wire, how ever, and will not work if the wires are fiLi- apart It is pitiful to contemplate the com placency with which unthinking or ig norant parents, rich aswell as poor, consent to cater criminally to the in fantile demand for candy. The effect is less disastrous, perhaps, among the well-to-do, for the reason that the stuff tonsnmed is manufactured from supe rior tOQcerials. But certain it is that with Americau children of every class the confectioner is patronized more generously than is the butcher or the baker. To this fact is due most of . tlie destruction of teeth in youth, as well as many of the troubles having then* rise in the stomach. Care of the teeth an-l mouth is epseotial, of course, and will go far to minimize tho evil results complained of.

The Angora goat yields on an average four pounds of mohair at a shearing, the product selling for from thirty-two to thirty- Beven cents per i>ouud.

The seventh annual commencement of the State Normal and Industrial College of North Cafolina opened on Saturday, the 19th, with a reception by the faculty to the alamoae and oth er former etodents. Decorations of palms, vines and flowers mingled with the College cglors, white and gold, in the entrance hall, and with colors of the diff^ent classes in the recitation halls, were bat a fit frame-work for the living pictures of North Carolina young womanhood. It goes without saying that one found beauty everywhere eince the adorning of halls and tables where refreshments were served, was done by the zealons hands of cultured women loyal to their Alma Mater. No institution within the writer’s knowl edge so holds the hearts of her chil dren. This is illustrated by tbe fact that out of one hundred and fifty-seven graduates of the college aince its foun dation seven years ago, about seventy-* five were present at this reception. Dr. J. O. Bust, pastor of the £»dge* field Baptist churoh, Nashville, Tenn.> preached the baccalaureate sermon in the college chapel Sunday morning. The large auditorium was crowded to discomfort; yet during the whole ser mon there was not a sound to disturb the sparker. He held the audience in listening silence, which fact tells the tale of his rare oloqnence. His sub jest was complete consecration to good. Dr. Bust's broad ideas concerning the State’s duty in the matter of higher education are those for which this In stitution stands to-day before the peo ple of North Carolina. Dr. £. A. Alderman deliveied an address before tbe Toung Women's Christian Association Sunday evening. Again tbe chapel was filled for we are ever ready to hear the President of our State University. On Tuesday the chapel was packed and many were nnable to get in. At 8.30 o’clock Miss Speight, of Tarboro, Chief Mar shall, conducted upon tbe rostrum the thirty-nine members of the Senior Class. This is the largest class that has yet gone from tbe college. Surely there has never a nobler array of earn est, capable jonng women gone from any college. Tbe exeroises were opened by the battle cry of the Nor mal:. ‘‘Carolina, Carolina, Heaven’s blessings attend her. ” Miss Bosalind Sheppard, of Win aton, president of tbe class, welcomed the audience cordially and gracefully. Essays were read by six representa tives of the class. Tbe topics of these as of all the class show the trend of the thought of the College. The need and daty as well as the beauty and tbe joy of labor are sounded by every tongue that speake for the Normal. On Wednesday at 11 a. m. the band Lnl the^rstjfo ^ i'a' '<T a7oiIna\^* ment virtaally gave its service to the so we see that the patriotism of t^ men was not all spent in Cubpu Val- liant mast be the deeds inspired bj such music!

Judgc Walter Clark awarded the Con- etitntion and made the annual ad dress.

Sleanwbile the department states that it will not be possible to make paI»lio more of tbe report tban the synopsis fur. nished to tbe press. This synopsis says: <‘Tbe commission ubdorstood that it was required to consider all routes heretofore proposed having any merit, that new routes that appeared to have merit should be developed, and tho entire region of canal po«Bibilitles should be examined with sufficient thoroughness to enable a just THE NICABAGXJA CANAL.

With this view the commission made a careful study of all data bearing upon the Nicaraguan Canal question and organized a large force. 'Much delay to tbe work and great an noyance to workibg parties was caused by attempts at revolution and by the strained relations between tbe Governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The outbreak of the war between the United States and Spain was also a serious matter. “The report goes Into minute details in ^ „ respect to all questions connected with construction of after malureJjjIS^Qtlon the commission has adoRfcd and estimated for tbe route i^^^^jritoto Lake Nicaragua, called the ^ ild s route, and from the lake to Grey- town, called the Lull route.

If pop- is not thoroughly dried, many of grains will not open showing the oy whiteness ot the starch they itain, and as these grains will nat- urally fall to the bottom of the popper they are likely to be burned. Both hens and fattening hogs will eat these charred grains with g^eat avidity. A still better grain to char is the oat, as it contains more of the strength giv ing and egg producing nutrition than does corn. In charring oats for hens and we think also for ho'gs, it is beat to expose the grain to enough heat to burn oflf part of the husk of the grain. The oats will then be eaten with avid ity, and if the grain is itself chai-red it will be a nitrogenous charcoal from which the more easily bui'ned cai*bou has been removed. In ostre:ne cases, as when a horso has coli^ or a cow has bloated, gi'aiii that is pretty thoroughly charred may be given, but only in small amounts, and to restore tone to the stomach. It should not be: continued nor given very often, as the effect of potash which the charred grain contains is to debilitate; the stoaxach instead of to strengthen it. Vre never gave charred grain except very rarfily to any ani mals except w hat we were fattening, and then only to correct evils of diet, which we learned afterwards to avoid. A few w'eeks before fattening hogs were to be killed, it makes them fatten better to give them some charred grain with their other food. But we would not give charcoal to a breeding sow or to any other animal that we meant to keep long except to a hen. The giz zard of a hen is so strong that it prob ably does no harm to })unish it with some charred oats, which with tbe hull burned off are as pood as wheat, and are perhaps even better. In the cold est weather in winter we have fed charred onts to both fattening hogs and to poultry Avhile the grain was still warm. They were very greedy for this warmed grain, yet it is proba bly reaDy no better for them thau if the grain were eaten cold. Taking hot victuals and ilrinka into tbe stom ach is bad for linman digestion, and it also probably is for the digestion of anim als.—American Cultivator. oatQ rrescriufu re'’osui=*‘ accept the supreme J Fiiipino members are all proainent Irf.

The prccefs of ereara ripening is a kiii«f of fermentation, just the formation of alcohol or viuegjw is a fermcnlatiou. The cause of the fer- meutalion which takes place in cit'cm is the grovrth and developfitent of an immense number of Lac-lexia. Xiie proper ripening of crcaiu i.'ikes j.lase when the right kind of ba'-taria pro duce the fermentatiou, an 1 the pro- CS.S.S is allowed to proceed to exactly the right point. Some bajtci-ia pro duce substances that give iiue liavora, otuevs produce butter which is almosl worthless. The chemical nature of t^e substances constitutins the llavov is not known, but it is pio-jable they are decomposition product., from the milk sugar. Hundreds of :reameiies are losiog thf'usands of di-Uars e.icu year, because cream ripens im properly, due to injuriouj hicds of bacteria. Con.'iderable irsublo can be avoided if the creamery operators use the propel- methods. One of the Iowa dairy school instructors is often sent to creameries that are -auable to produce tho desired quality of butter and he assists them to fix the troubie and provide a remedy. The methods this instructor generally uses to cor rect these faults are to require strict cleanliness about the buildings and utensils, rejecting milk which has not been cared for in such a manner as to prevent it from becoming tainted, and by the use of good starters. These are all applications of the principles of bacteriology. Good, clean milk is thsolutely essential to produce the best results. No buttermaker can take milk foul with dirt and filth and all that goes with them and make a iirst-class product. There are, of course, cer tain ways in which such milk can be improved and serious results some what averted. What we want to pro duce ft good bntter flavor is creari that will sour with no other taste, especially of unpleasant taints sug- gestire of filth contamination. To secure this there are two points to be always kept in mind: ' First, unde sirable fermentations must be kept ont; the second point to be kept in mind is desirable fermentations must be present, i. e., those which cause souring. Simply keeping bad flavor out is not always sufficient. The germs which produce a good flavor must be added if not already there. TMs is 'Accomplished by the use of starters. • - As used in' dairying a starter is a portion of milk or buttermilk contain ing a large-number'of the germs of fermentation supposed -to give a good flavpr.^ ^ e purpose of its use is sometimes to''bjisten the souring, but its.greatest v ^ e isin controlling tho flavor. I consider th 6 use of^ starter as absolutely lie. issary if the-butter- maker ezpects^to make uniform high- grade butter. Under the beet condi tions, that is when -the milk is,, clean, fres'from filth bacteria».as..i8 mote apt to be in summer, butter can bo made with no starter probably sometii^es ju^t as^ood as mth one, but at least in the state with whioh I am^ most familiar, it is impossible to m&ke good butter in the .winter tim^. withoat , a starter. When a 8 taFtecisiaU.Ue.propeL* condition it has a sharp acid taste, with no unclean, or- diia,gi^iyij^.: taste or odor. It -does not whey plf^._^soou as it-thickens, but re'inajtiV'lnfla’ solid cord with no bubbles^ sho^^n^ gas.

We-ve heard it stated “Talk Is cbeapl'* So while the mud is two feet deep In many highways of the land The jiBople MOW to beat the band. But, very Ukely, by and by, ”,ben summer comes and roads are dry, riie ones who now put up a bluff wui say, “Our roads are gjodenoughl” Bei^rdliiK Dirt Road*. E. G. Harrison, Government road expert, has been giving the farmers and others interested in the building and maintaining of dirt roads some valuable advice. Inasmuch as dirt roads must continue topredominateiu many parts of the country, for years to come, his remarks are worthy of careful consideration. He says: “Except when the frost is coming out of the ground in the spring, ifc will be quite possible to build ordi nary dirt roads so that they will be very satisfactory, aud so that theycau be kept in good condition throughout the year except during a few weeks of spring thaw. The best way, after the road is properly built, is to hiro somebody in the vicinity, some labor ing man, for instance, to keep in re pair permanently a particular stretch of road. He can start out then just after every rain when he wouldn’t bo working in his fields, and with a sin gle Bhovel he can make all necessary repairs to the road. If water is col lecting in any spot, he can open up a little ditch and let the water drain oflf pioperly, although if the road was properly built this would rarely oc cur. He can toss stones to one side that the rain has washed down. And, especially, he can look to see that no holes are forming. A little hollow starts in a road. The next wagon scoops out a trifle more dirt, another wagon another trifle. Soon there's a big hole. It rains. Water collectHiu the hole and forms mud, and then the mud clings to tho wagon wheels and the hole grows faster thau ever. But if. io the beginning, the road re pairer havi filled in the small hollow with his shovel and some dirt, aud f tamped the earth down a bit, then the wagons would have packed the dirt like a roller and the hole would never have got a chance to grow. “It’s best to have roads kept in r.e- paii- by contract, for then it*s to the interest of the contractor to exercise constant care.’* . V. A Good Town to Lire In. The citizcns of Rolfe, Iowa, woke up to the fact that they were money* losers because of the poor condition of their streets and highways. They got to talking, and from talking to working, and a subscription paper good for $650 was obtained from the business men. This was presented to the city council and a similar amount voted from the city treasury. This was supplemented by liberal donations of team work by the far mers. Gravel pits were bought and opened, and on four leading roads out of the city, all winter, a force of men hiiB been haaling gravel. Bolfe will have good roads hereafter and people from far and near w'ill go there to trade because of it. A Falie Eeconomy. Andrew Carne^e states that he knows of nothing in this country that will compare lesa favorably with the European countries thau the public roads in the United States. Only one who has coached and traveled year after year through Europe can esti mate the advantages that would flow from similar roads in our own country. It would really change the conditions of the life in the rural and agricul tural distriots. This is the kind of work that justifies the issue of bonds, if necessary, to seoure it. It is false economy to delay such work. Iowa College to Experiment. The Iowa State Agricultural College has planned extensive experiments in road-making, whichVill bejcarried out during the coming summer. The merits of crude oil for compacting the surface and shedding the water. from dirt roads, after they have been prop erly graded, will be thoroughly tested. Several samples of different kinds of roads will be constructed, and among others some eteel-track wagon-roads will be laid. A course of lectures on soientiflo road-making, to be delivered by an expert, will supplement the ex periments. _______ alcn. The Tactics of a Lcoa. I have shot at loons a great many times on the lakes of northern Wiscon sin, and on Lake Superior, an^ have never known them to attempt to es cape from danger unless' there was a wind of which they could take ad vantage In their attempts to rise. I remember once, Ju company with my brother, trying to seciu-e a loon as a specimen for mounting. The bird was In a lake about three-fourths of a mile long and about 200 yards wide In Its narrowest part. My brother was se creted at one end of the lake, and I in a canoe kept the bird In motion, trying to get it w’lthin range of my brother’s gun, and giving it a shot whenever a chance offered. Although harried for two or three hours, it never once at tempted to rise from the water. There was a slight breeze, If I mistake not, but not enough to be of any use In the loon’s attempt to escape by flight. During the chase the loon swam a dis tance of 200 yards or more under water, repeatedly, without appearing above the surface. Lake Superior fishermen tell me they have .caught them in their nets at great depths. Among those w'ith whom I have talked on the subject, it is believed that a loon cannot rise from the water without the .lid of a wind blowing directly opposite to the line of flight.— Forest and Stream.

The Mt. CatroU (HI.) Business Men’s Association has joined forces with out-of-town interests, and will build a mile of macadamized road every year. Karrow tires, Ticionsly and persist ently used on dirt (and lamentably few gravel) roads, in Gonnoctiont, are causing more disgust and gray hairs >han a few. Not until narrow tires are kept off the roads altogether will it pay to put money into roads. The Si^ohigan Supreme Court, in a recent decision, held that the State lawB do not require townships,' cities and villages to keep highways in safe condition for bioycle riding, the duties of the municipality ceasing with main tenance of safe roads for other classes of vehicles. While it is well to have the condi tions of highways impressed on the minds of lawmakers, still one reads with much regret that a fine grey horse, owned by Senator B. B. Mitchell, of Troy, Penn., broke one of its legs re cently by stepping in a rut. injuring tbe animal so badly it had to be killed. The wheelmen of Kentucky are agitating the subject of convict labor for the building and maintenance of good roade.

Whenever the time comes when we have to work for nothing and offer a chromo ‘-Jo boot’* we will work for charitable institutions of the (Omt-ry.

If it was not a lot oi>triflng white people think a white man al as a negro, who get ^.itchwith the negro i d social matters,fead- iions for power audao- •, there would be no sh a thing, and a man justly be laughed at for Ing each a proposition, je Bopublioaas are making a ,t howl over their pretentions, (lie pronosed amendment will ■rauchis^ some ‘-poor” white ,n.

V/e \vill be fi-aak i-.iglito sdm it, thaf. there are tain counties aud towns iu eas- a Carolina whci-e it is possible the negroes to dominate, and we lave asked our Democratic friends speatedly to tell the ijeople why he last Bocioci'atic legisiatiire did ot avail itiself of that decision rca- ereded by a Eepi;blieon Sp.pi-cmi- .oart, reported in tlie 121st X. C. ieport entitled Harris vs. W right, nuer that decision the legislature ouid have passed laws plaoiug vf cy town and connty in the easl f heio tho negroes can cont lol. n nd er kite rule. STow, why did you lot do it? The answer is obrions ,;id too plain to admit of argument ou wanted to get all the ofSces in le State, right or wrong, and you J not want lo setlla this negro 'qnes ion, for its a line hobby for K oar political deniogogues to ride |in ofBceon. Few white Ecpubli- fcans, we dure say, would have ob jected to a measure of tlji£.,ynd fiag^ested, for we gtg opposed to negro donominjifion, and we are aware of tho^fact so tar as North C arolinsfasaState, is concerned, negr^gonomination isac imp'jsai- Eow be honest , enough to 2 ‘.flnitaud saythatyouhaveand'.are attempting to deceive and mis lead the people oa this question. You are well aware of the f ^ t, that if the people are not misled and deceived on this ConstiiutionaU Amendment question, and with a fair and honest election, tnere is no chance for its adoption. This you well know and that is why you have p'acid on the statute books oue of the most |>arti2 an and dis honest election laws, that ever dis graced an honest and enlightened coustitn .-ncy. W hy do we say sot BecauBe one of your eaatern ballot box stuffers wrote a letter while the legislatare was in session and ad vocated a Constitutional amend- jnentaad further said“By all means give us a strong election law so we can carry it.” Did not some of ■our high priests assert in their ihes in the legislatnre that and fraud had been resorted ^and that they were tired of it! es, all honest men are tired of id Its going to be ended one of days, for the great common .e are not going to submit to iratichigh handed forcc and always, in order that a few may feed at the inse, regardless of the id liberties of the people' righteous indignation of an outrag ed people, stand square for the right.and then yon can ask Eepub- licans to endorse yonr acte. Ah! indeed! "Some trifling white people who seem to think a Whiteman almost as good as a ne gro, and get down in the ditch with the n ^ ro in political and social m atters.” Did a Dem tcrat ever get down in the ditch with a negro! I fit only stopped there we would say no more. Yonr Demoeratic ma chine has done more to inspire the n ^ ro with his importance than the Republicans could have ever hope to do.

The pres ent unparalleled prosperity of the the country under the gold stand ard is its justification for its oppo sition to freesiher, and respect for law and order is its own justifica tion. The Observer stands where the Messenger Intelligencer stood in '92 and ’88 and ’84,and onback, and where it wlU stand again in 1904 and on forward, when the na tional Democratic party will have sobered up and got back to base.

President McKinley attended the encampment of the United Daugh- C abbage M aggot .—^Take one ters of the Confederacy, held at and one half Glen Echo, near Washington, on 1water, dissolve, and put one Wednesday and TTiursday. The *------- ' encampment wonld have been a feU- ure in point of attendance had not a fair crowd of 'Washingtonians turned out.The first day, which was ou the programme as ••Virginia Day” was a failure anyway. “ Ma ryland Day” the second,which was attended by the Prc-sident aud a a nomber af promiuent men, was little better, but neither was suc cessful enough to warrant tho hold ing of another encanipmcnt in the vicinity of the JTatioaal Capital. If O jI. Henderstju could have heard all the good words that have been said of him since it became certain thathe would be unanimous ly nominated by the republican caucus for Spealier of the House,he would have realized how popular he is. It is no djsparagement of the other gentlemen who were can didates before the sentiment of the llcpnblicans of the Eonse was so overwhelmingly expressed for Col.Henderson, to say that no better choice could pos.sibly have been raa<le. He has every qualifi cation needed to make a good Speaker, and he is so well acquaint ed with the. meiitti '>fthe old mem- bera that hecan arrange aU the com mittee assignments before Congress meets, or nearly all of them, aud being entirely free from pledges to any one, he can make his selections strictly upon merit, fjomething that every Speaker has not been able to do. It does not take much to build a rumor in the atmosphere of Wa.sh- ington. .Tust bcca'.;.se fi.\;-Speaker B ^ d did not send his resignation as a Bepreiientative to the Governor of Maine before leaviug for Europe, the Washington vamor-niougers built np a long story alleging Mr. Beed’s inteulton tn rclaiu his seat in the House iuadditioa to his mem bership iu that Xev York law firm. Oue of Mr. Beed’s strongest points is his thoroughness and thorough ness and that story ilo uot gee stall.

The thing is absurd. V\'e have noi yet reacired tbe political miUenni- um. aud when th.it golden ora dawns there will be no further need of oppof'i^K pai'ties. Until then it is bat uaS>^l aud right for the party in power to administer the government, and if^ian do so month the number exceeded that. Yardmaster Frost who keeps a rec ord of all cars and trains handled, figured up his last month’s work last night. He found that 1912 freight trains, made up of 27,147 cars, were handled, and that the number o f p ^ n g e r trains was 802 cir- composed of 4,021 ^ coaches. The g fue case forbid our most eS'ectnaliy through thg-tigte cy of its partizans. Missouri is a State in which the Eepnbliaan par ty needs encouragement from the national administration. Under such conditioiiS we do not believe that the Deiuocracs are entitled to share in the offices, which, if given them, will be nsed for parly pui- poses in the (.‘.impiiign of 1000: It is ehi valous not to exterminate a foe but 1 lail to see the wisdomof giving your enemy a club which he may use for yosir own destruction.” A niuuber of prote.sts have been re ceived from Kci)tiblicaus of other States agsiinst the division policy, but 30 lar as known that poiicy has not changed, but the President has it nndar considei-ation. Col. GeorgiiB.

T im e to CtJTTBEEe to P kevent S prouting.—Just at the time of the most rapid gi'owth of the season is tbe time when trees that are cut are least liable to sprout. This wiU be about the 28th of June. The trees store up food in the trunk branch es, twigs ancl roots during the lat ter part of summer, which material starts the growth of spring; but this islargely used up by the 1st of July, so tha< if trees are cut theu they have little or no food stored up to start new buds. However some trees, as willows and poplars, wiU sprout a little when cut at the time recomended,bnt the sprouts will be weak and easily killed. As to conditions and prospects in the tobacco and cotton growing States they can be briefly summari sed as follows: The farmeis have had, and are yet having, a very hard time, yet conditions are more favorable than they were one year ;igo. la s tin g conditions then re- Huired the strictest economy to meet the most pressing obligations. The result has been that the strict econ- any practiced then has been sup plemented by a slight advance in the prices of most of tho farm pro ducts, so that the present outlook is a mnchmore favorable one. The low price of cotton is induc ing thousands to grow less of it and !o grow more grain for food and more hay for stock. The use of cotton seed meal as stock feed is ■ni the increase. O ar farmers are duding out by the bitter experience )f the past that the selling of cot ton seed to the mills direct; instead of feeding it to .stock on the farm, hsis been a policy that should be aolonger pursued. They are be ginning to realize that the best way i-i to feed it to the stock, thus i-e- taining all the fertilizing materials possible on the farms.

The law in regard to the conveyance of school children in Maine, enacted by the last Legislature, has gone into effect. The gist of the new law is that the Superintending School Com mittee is the body that decides who fihall be carried to and from school and who shall not, at the expense of the town. It also gives the body the right to board a child near the school- house iu case the expense would be the same or less than the conveyance each day would amount to. Havana is rapidly becoming Ameri canized. Instead of a bull fight on a recent Sunday there was a baseball game, and interest in the match waxed 80 warm that a close decision by the umpire in the eighth inning almost precipitated a riot. The Times of Cuba says that the police took a hand in the affair, revolvers were drawn, and murder would have been done had not a detachment of the Seventh Cavalry appeared on the scene with loaded guns to quell the disturbance* The cruiao of the Chicago will take tlie American flag into seas where it has not been seen at the mizzen of a man-of-war for many years. The ship will navigate the entire east coast of Africa, and stop at Cape Town and the nearest port to Johannesburg. Be fore the Civil War our cruisers haunted East African waters on the watch for ulavcrs. But since that time it ia doubtful if any American nian>of-war has gone over the course which tbe Chicago will presently take.

How trifling this freight movement la in comparison with Amorrcau practice may be seen by comparing it with the flgnres for American railway freight traffic. The Ponnsylvanta Bailroad lines east of Pittsburg and Erie. 4167 miles in ex- ; tent, carried, iu 1897, 78,028,000 tons of freight, or over 2^ times as much as all the waterways of France.

It is very tenacious of life and will stand alm ost any am onnt of neglect, but at the same tim e there is nothing which responds so readily to good caltute. W hen a bed is once started it is good :for a lifetime. In fact it will not come into full nsefnlness until it is five or six years old. This shonld be remem* bered when selecting the location. The bed should be so placed that it will not interfere w ith the cultivation .of other crops, but at the same time it should be in such shape that it can be given good culture and kept free from weeds. The most oonvenient method for the farm gardener is to set the plants in long rows so that they can be worked w ith the horse. AdTantaccs of Intprorca Ltonds. One of the most interesting papers read at tho New York State Farmers* Congress, recently held.at Albany, IT. Y., was that on tho “Advantages of Improved Highways,” by John A. C. Wright, of Eochesicr. N. Y. In part Mr. Wright said: “No subjectfl aro so closely related as highways and agriculture. Material prosperity de- ])ends upon production and trans portation. Iu production we have naado immenso atridcs, in nianufac* tures many-fold, and even ou tho farm each of us produces as much as ali four of his forefathers of two genera tions ago. Besides the cost of produc tion there is the cost of getting what is produced to its best market. How much thatie, wc often fail to realize. It has been coupiited that the annual freight bill of each of us is §00. This is the transportation charge or what it costs us to movo jgoducts over the highways which a r^ f three sorts— the common highwaj% the railway and tho waterway. The relative cost is most aptly shown by stating that the amount it cost3 to move a ton live miles on the highway, will move it twenty-five miles ou the electric rail way, 250 miles on the steam railway and 1250 miles in deep waterways. “In improving, therefore, the com mon highway, we reduce the largest item in this freight tax. By pains taking effort we have found it costs thirty cents per ton mile on tho ordinary road, such as we have, and a smooth hard road-way would reduce this to seven conts per ton mile, or we would do the basiness for one- quarter of what it costs us now. This is equivalent by the above tables to getting each ton carried for more than 600 miles by rail and more than 1000 miles by water. “We have alsa found that the farm products of this State reduced to tons are about 12,000,000 tons, and that at the average haul costs about $1.50 to move p€rton, or a freight bill for primary transportation of agricul- tnral products of $18,000,000 a year. If we had good roads this cost would be, to allow a good margin, less than $6,000,000 and tho saving over $12-,- 000,000 a year, or as much as our total State tax b ill^^ i^ ll purposes. The common ro most important tion, so far t the chance the great^ Botatios Crops For tho Garden. While some kinds of vegetables, as, for example, the onion, will do well if not best on the same ground every year, there are others that are much more successful if changed about to different parts of the garden each year. Cabbage especially ought never to be grown on ground occupied by cabbage the previous year. We thiuk this is true of roots, and even of sweet corn and potatoes. These have such different habits of root growth that when they alternate more of the soil is permeated by roots, and fts |these decay or are removed the soil is Hghtened more effectually than it pould be if the same crop were con tinuously grown. One of the best of all rotations for ^he garden is t-o discontinue its use as a garden for two full years, in the lueautime seeding it with clover and timothy, the latter sown in the fall, po as to get enough growth not to be •rowded out by weeds iu the spring, ■'e a.lways advise sewing either wheat or rye in the fall where att old garden is to be seeded. The soil is so full of weed seeds that the grain is needed to keep them br.ck. Some potash and phosphate should be sown with the grain. This will make bright, clean straw and well filled. Tne clover grown on a garden should always be plowed under, though if tliere are not too many weeds, it may be best to cut the first crop and plow under the se^ oud, .sowing crimson \ over in the fall to protect the soil dni*!hg tbe win ter. There will usually be few weeds after the land has been two years iu clover, and the soil will respond to any kind of manure after this olover rotation that it would before.—Ameri can Cultivator. Mottled Butter. Perhaps every oue who has made butter has been troubled with this at some time. The cause of the mottled condition which is frequently seen in butter is a disputed one, yet it is sim ple enough after all. As we know, salt affects the color of butter; takes on a deeper hue when it bas been salted a few hours. Take a lot of.butter from the churn in a mass, salt it in streaks by cutting down through it with the ladle and scatter ing salt freely where the ladle went, let it stand half a day before working and you will see a good illustration of mottled butter. Iu a low words the explanation is this: Mottled butter is caused by uneven distribution' of salt, nothing more or less. To avoid this the following plan is an excellent oue, and one which is fol lowed by many butter makers to-day: Leave the butter in granules, wash with water cold enough to prevent ad- while still in the churn or tip 'the butter glob- id the salt is tipping the ; the salt fc te-mraraeti Paying Sattble Prices Pridt, $18.7i Uachiaes, Ornu &od Whjt do yea thjft, luitofClot&lag, A t measuro, J lining wit] : shows 3a samp)cS 9f ^ aod ihsws maoy b4i 2 Shoei, Hat* and Fui Y «Litho(rapaed 5 4; ihowi Cv2 ^«, Rt 2 IWM and X5ce Cur ^ baad-nabted coI< 5f furftlthlmii PfTHir Fam- ilvRefrigeffc. ter for l 3.9)f It U but one of ever 8c___(atn« coouined Id our Gee- 4 eral Catalogue of Ftmt «ed Houtefaold Good*.We save you frem 40 to 60 par cent, on everything.

A twenty per cent, commission is the sexton’s share of tho proceeds, and taking Into consideration the large membership of some of the Now York churche -5 and the elaborate funerals that take place almost daily, it can read.ly be seen that to be a sexton Is an honorable calling—for It Is a busl- ness.that brings in the coin. The pro fits of a sexton in one of the large downtown churches Is estimated at $10,0 0 0 annually from his funeral bus iness alone. Weddings are not so profitable, but they do fairly well and are cheerful. He collects the pew rents and takes his habitual commis sion, he gets $ 1 0 for digging a grave and hires a mere laborer to do the the work for $4; he Is paid for opening the church and for closing it, and a few other things that keep him from starvation. But there is one thii'*? he m ust look sharp after, and that his collections. It is a peculiar fact, but people will stand off a fimeral bill as long and as callously as any other. —Detroit Free Press. F or H ealth and Becnperation Cleveland SprioRs is unsurpassed.

When it was reported to Pres ident Lincoln that his brother-in-law had performed this daring exploit against tbe national authority, on be ing asked what he would do about it. replied: "Weli, I suppose I shall have to hang W hite—when we catch him."

The daughter was also on the boat, and because she, too, has heirs, the case makes a curious legal tangle. The old Roman law held that In case of shipwreck a person below the age of 16 was presumed to die be fore an older person who perished in the same wreck. Above the age of 15 it is presumed that tbe elder of two persona died first. The daughter was 20 years old, but the heirs of the father propose to have a fight for 'the estate.

W hile the towusuffered severely, the county and northwestern Eowan probably had greater loss. The portion of the storm that passed south of town can be traced from a point nearly five ndles southwest of StatfiSvUle, in a southeast direction to within a few miles of Salisbury, a distaaceof 15 miles or more in Iredell and al- mostas much in Eowan. The track of this storm was from one to two miles wide, and is marked by de nuded forests, overturned barns id unroofed housja.

Mebane, Manager, who has been on the sick Ust, left for Greensboro Saturday, He will be absent two or three days. The company in burning brush last week, lost 50 or 75 cords of wood from the fire. The work is progressing nicely and when the two brick machines start up which are daily expectcd, a busier place will be hard to find. The company is anxious to push the work to completion at as early a day as possible. Good hands wanted, and fair prices i>aid, Capt. Pruden brought down a big lot of mules and carts Monday. He is I>aying 80 cents a day for good hands.Those wanting a job can apply at the works. Drones aud idlers not wanted. Go down and see what a big cor poration can do in a short while, and realize that capital is essen tial to the development of our coun try, and that those who are eter nally waging war on corporations are the enemies of the country .The people will open their eyes after a while and cease to be hoodwink ed by the “ Cheap John” demagog ues who have axes to grind.

Birt the end was just the same as it has been and as ft will continue to be as long as there is any fighting-victory for the Amer icans. The fighting this week has not made theslightest change In the plans of the W at Department. Be fore the fighting started orders were issued wh^ch will when fully carried out give Gen. Otis a force of 35,000 regulars, which will be 6,000 more men thau he has at any time cxpiressed an opinion were necessary to put down the Filippine revolt. No additional orders are at this time contemplated by the W ar Department, but as Gen. Otis is conducting an active campaign, uotnithstaudingthe rainy seasou. nece.ssity for otlier orders may arise at any time. Only one object is aimed at by the Department—to put down the revolt at the earliest possiblt moment.

The Neuesten Kacbrichten, of Ber* iin, in an article urging the immediate increase of the German naval power, confesses that CJermapy is “not able to compete with the United States at Bea, quite apoct from English inter vention.” The great forward moTehient in the closing years of the nineteenth century iu new fields of the world’s commer cial activity is rapidly roanding up the national laggards and spurring them onto the adoption of new and defen- Eive methods. The enormoas growth of onr export trade is giving Europe serious cancern, for i t ' signides re. sources, and ability to utilize them, which will doubtless cut a considera ble figure shortly iu the rivalry of the opening Orient. ^ The steadily increasing length of life of the averago huiuau being iu ciyilizcd countries is due to many ex cellent iaiprovsments in the manner of living. Especial attention has been gtven to secure pure air, clean water, and nourishing food. But there is a remarkable increase in the working pDwer of old men which eicecds the extension of the term of life. The elderly men iu the army and navy have borne the fatigues and exposures of tho last year with wonderful exemption from disease. In all professions and trades the mental and physical activity of elderly and old men and women has been greatly increased during the cen tury. Thas science prolongs man’s years of usefulness. STATE SQUIBS. li has been said that the great nations of Europe would be very slow to go to war with us because not one cf them can well get along without the food products which wo furnish them. There is much reason iu this state* ^mjsnt aud it is especially applicable to England and Germany. Those coun tries do not produce enough food for their own populations, and depend lipou us more and more every year to sapply the deficit. The recent increase of our agricultural experts ta s been enormous. In 1897 they amounted to $033,471,139 aud in 1S98 they rose to the enormous amount of 5356,607,942. This is one of the reasons of our commanding strength and growing power among the nations. The statistician of the Department of Apfricnltnrc estimates that in 19:?1 the population of the United States will be 130,000,000; and it is a con servative estimate. To supply the re- quii'ements o.: this number of people will necessitnte the production of - 700,000,000 bushels of wheat, 1,250,- 000,000 bushels of oats, 3,450,000,000 bushels of com and 100,000,000 tons of hay. If we produce this immense quantity of food products, for man and beast, under our present system, Bays the Agricultural Economist, we must bring under cultivation 150,- 000,000 acres more laud than we now cultivate; and it is estimated that we have only 103,000,000 acres of new land that is arailable for farming pur- poses. • • Farming out taxes or tax collecting by contract is an odd feature of tho management of the fiscal affairs of the city of Lancaster, Penn.

They met with an unoxpectedlv warm reception, and were repulsed with a loss of seventy* fire killed, thirty prisoners and many wounded. The rebel force, estimated to have num bered five thousand men, advanced stealth ily from tbe jungle north of the city, and then divided, with tbe evident'purpose of surrounding the Americans. The outposts or the lows regiment dis- coTered the enemy and retired to their lines, where the entire division awaited ia an intrenched position. Tbe Iowa regiment and the Kansas regiment received the first shock of the attaek. Basorvlng their fire until the enemy was witbln six hundred yards, the first volley of tho Americans hit tbe rebels, who re turned the Are wildly, the rest of their line failing to advance. The Americans, who thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of the situ ation, awaiting an attack, sallied forth, and the insurgents thereupon turned and fled into the jungle. Our loss was fourteen men wounded, and the majority of them are only slightly hurt.

This arrangement admits ot manv advantages. It is more easily ventilated and lighted, it has no cel lar, the hay and food is not contami nated with the odor from the cattle, and it is an economical form of con struction and can be erected at com paratively little cost. In making calculations as to the amount of cubic sp.ice required for each animal, it should be remembered that each cow nses approximately 1000 cubic feet of airpcr hour. If the barn admits of each cow having 1000 cubic feet of air space, then tho air in the barn will need to be renewed once each hour. It the air space provided is less, then correspondingly the supply of fresh air will need to be more fre quent. The problem, then, is to carry away the foul, impure air and to sup ply each auimifl with 1000 cubic feet of fresh air each hour in such manner as not to cause a draught ou the ani mals. To do this, the air must not bo admitted in bull:, nor must it move at greater speed than three feet per sec ond. In fact, the slower and more im perceptibly it moves into the barn, the less draught will there be. Many farmers attempt toadmitfresh air by keeping door and windows open. The result is that cold air finds its way in and falls directly on the back of the cattle. The animals stand and shiver and fall otf iu their milk. The farmer is discouraged and makes up his mind that fresh, cool air does cat tle no good, but rather harm, and ho admits no more thau he can help.. To prevent such a condition of affairs, fresh air should either be admitted high up, or should be directed upward so as to become tempered before it falls. By directing up toward tho ceiling, by admitting it in small open ings aud by breaking up draughts and currents of ail- by louvre boards, air will be diffused through tho building and large quantities ot air can be ad mitted without causing any apprecia ble draughts or other ill effects. A good method of introducing fresh air ie by wooden pipes or boxes placed below the floor opening outside and having the external opening serC'.liHik to keep out ihe dust. These should communicate with upright boxes open ing well 'Ujj-iirtt® barn, the opening directed upward and ^broken up with louvre boai-ds or screens, or netting at the top to break up the current of air and distribute it. Ventilators or openings for the foul air to escape should always bo~ at the highest part of the root. The open ings should be protected so that the wind will not blow down and check the upward current of foul air, but the wind- should be utilized so as to cause a partial vacuum on the lee of tho building, or ventilator. The vacuum thus caused will have a tendency to suck the foul air up and out of tho barn. Thorough ventilation is of the building is heated by arti ficial : wans, but by taking advantage ot the i^ind and the natural warmth of the b^n, much can be accomplished even without artificial heat. The floors elud especially tie manure gut ters of W ns, should alw.iys bo tight, other-nfise the liquid manure will sat urate the floor below the barn, besides wasting a valuable fertilizer. As a matter of economy, if for no other reason, (arrangements should always be madek either for the absorption of the llquin portion or for carrying it to 8 tank ojr cesspool, where it can be stored nratil di-awn off and spread on tbe land.

In a recent number of Municipal bugmeering Thomas Conyngton says to the .lestructive effect of i^rru pavements and roads; The most interesting phase ot this question is, however, the effect pro- auced by the general use of motor vehicles upon tho ever-present and very important problems of streetpav- ing, maiutenance and cleaning. At present the effect ot the horse’s hoof ou paved surfaces is one of ' the most serious difficulties confronting the municipal engineer. If an effectuaf method of destroying our streets were desired, it is doubtful whether any- thing better could be devised than the hammering, cutting, twisting and grinding of a horse’s feet. Take a ponderous draft horse, weighing close to a ton, shoe his four feet with heavy, eharp-cornered, iron-plates as a traction base, harness him to a truck.'put on a heavier load and then start him pounding, donting, twisting and scraping from morning to night aud you have a very efficient engine of destruction. All of ourpavingcon- struetion is largely affected by this factor. The granite block pavement, with all its variations, has no other raison d’etre for its existence. As phalt, paving briok and the other modern pavements are very greatly modified by the necessity of guarding against the destructive action of the horso’a hoof. Nearly all the repairs required by the modern pavement are dae to this cause, and in a lesser de> greo to.the iron-tired wagon wheels with their angular edges. The hard est granite blocks grind off until too uneven for use aud are then either re surfaced with asphalt or relaid. Pav ing brick wear out, and, where there is the slightest softness, go to pieces. Wherever a weak spot occurs in the asphalt, it is found out by the hoofs of horses, and the pavement is only preserved by the most constant main- tcuauce; while macadam streets and roads can hardly be • maintained in even tolerable condition.” IVhat D o F arm eri Ex[»ecl?

As one-third of the taxable property of the State is in Chicago, it would seem as though tbe people of that city wonld have opposed the bill, but they did not. Ifc was the farmers who jumped ou the bill with ghoulish glee and ripped it up the back. The think- iog people of Illinois are now wonder ing if the farmers would accept good roads, were they offered to them free, with a ninety-nine year guaranty to keep them in good repair. It is evident some of our good farmer friends, who aro floundering in the mud several moatha/ sadly in need of some mental phos phate. BecaTtse of its deep, soft soil, Ill inois is thought to be the champion bad roads State, a distinction it seems to cling to until the farmers come out of their mud-locked lethargy, or the people of the cities and towns present the rural communities with a system of good highways, free of cost, Keffarillnis Foor B oadi. They are bad for the doctor and iu many cases bad for the patients, many of whom have died either because the doctor couldn’t come at all or arrived too late. They are bad for the school children, many of whom often are 'compelled to remain at home daring certain seasons of the year on account of the mud in the roads. They are bad for the good people who would go to church on Sundays. They are bad for funerals and for weddings. They aie bad for parties and entertainments. They are, of course, bad for horses and wagons and drivers who are uot responsiblo for them; but they are just the thing for those who are oi^posed to good roads, A road cannot be too rutty or muddy or sandy for the pun ishment of those who oppose good roads. Of course they are bad for farmers’ pocketbooks .'ind bank ac counts."There is no material evil from which farmers are suffering to-day so ruinous to their financial interests as bad roads.—Bochester (N. Y.) Denfo crat. ________ o n as a B oad'M ender. Begarding the use of crude oil aa & ^‘oad-uender, Mr. IMeigs, of Barrc, Mass., says that the road should be in a condition to receive the oil. If only one barrel of oil is used, the o&eapest way is to use a watering-pot for distributing it. Where the ex periments are on a more pretentious scale, a tank on wheels and a pipe pierced with holes or slits to let the oil out should be used. It is calculated that one mile of road, twelve feet wide, can be sucoeasfully treated with one-eighth inch deep of oil for 3141.50. • Goldnn lln lo M ayor Jon es’ Idea. Mayor Jones, of Toledo, Ohio, in a recent article, takes the ground that the idle tramp and the idle millionaire should each contribute to the welfare of tho country. He thinks that the capitalist should invest some ot his money in road-building and the idle vagabond should contribute some oi his time and strength. These services, iu his opinion, would, be as . patrioti» and aa worthy of the love ot men as to risk one*s life in battle. Tbe CmMde fn Silef. A good road verily causeth content- mont. Ko rural community that does not make some effort to procure good roads should expect free delivery of mail ?. Where the -fai'mers will not let the cyclists assist in building good roaJa tho wheelmen should build good cycle paths. Investment iu good roads is tha height of good judgment.

If you believe iu majority rule, what do you want to j^disfian chise even the negroes fori Ifow please explain. If it is right and just for the majority to rule iu par ty conventions, is it not equally o rt; as right that a majority of the peo- luryj pie should rule and govern this also country? Now is uot that logic and good coinmou sense! You had bet ter go to thinking before you write any more, for your own admission puts you iu a hole. You want to eliminate the negro, for the stike of good government in North ('aiolinn. Yet if the white Sepublicjins held the negro iu check afld do the governing,yon say its all wrong and that because there are more nogroes than white »e- I publicans, therefore the negro >K-! ought to rule.

This j'ear he asserts, as if by all agree ment, no such action has been tak en; but the merchants at the coun ty crossroads have their stores load ed down with goods that they can’t sell; aud that negroes are not bay ing. He s.ays it is evidently their intehtioh to sell their crops for cash and leave the State in the fall. ■UTiile the •‘prominent” Rcpnbli- cau did not say so, he left the im pressiou that the W ilmington riot aud other allged ill-treatment o the negroes Was their reason for their intended migration. He took a most doleful view of the future should the movement assume large proportions. It was, he said, the only kind of labor that could work the rice fields, drink tadpole water and live. W ithout the negro the entire rice fields of North Gairoli na would become an uncultivated ^i-il- derness of weeds. Our Democratic friends in their wild chase after office, have set in motion, and seem determined to carry out certain of their schemcs which we think will seriously ef fect our State and its future. Bro. Caldwell says the negro labor is best suited to the South, but these demagogic politicians u ae little for the people, just so they are feeding at the public crib. There is a right and honorable way to settle these things. W hy not do right* Volcaiiie I3ruption.s From our Reguiai: Correspondenn W ashington, June, 23, 189 Secretary Alger met the usual batch of rumors concerning hi; self and the war dejjartinent upoi his return to W ashington. Th^ rumor of his early resignatioii li become such a regular thing that he would be really disappointed i it failed to meet him aftfcr ahy little absence from his desk. The rumor that G pu . Miles was to be sent to the Philippines to command the army was an eutirely new one, and entitled to a medal for utter absur dity aud sen.selessness. Secretary Alger and the entire administra tion are entirely satisSed %vith Gen, Otis’ conduct of affairs in the Phil- ippim s and have no idea of placing such ;n indignity upon him as the sending of the commanding general of the army to the Pliillipincs would be. There were a lot more senseless mmol's about what had been deci<ied about the army in the Philippines, which are not worthy of specific mention, for the simple reason that persons of average in- telligence should have known that with the President and the secreta ry of war both away from W ash ington there was no one left with authority to decide npon anything important connected with the army, but, of course, every one knows that the yellow journals, which originate these rumors, are not printed for persons of average in telligence.

Spinning wheels would seem clumsy for horse carriage, but they were not set up, and several could be compactly carried when taken apSrt. A century ago one of these wheelwrights sold a spinning wheel for a dollar, a clock reel for $2. and a wool wheel for ?2. __________ be Latest Endeavor to Rouse a Lazy Man {a fbe Maralof. Quite the newest thing :n.London In timepieces is the clock which announc es the hour in a somewhat metallic, but clear and distinct, voice. It is, of course, an ingenious combi* nation of the clock and tbe talking-ma- chinc, the latter acting by means of a simple connection with the works above. Inquiries made by a Daily Mail representative of those In the trade show that already several orders have been received for clocks of that kind, which, so lar, have beer designed for advertising purposeo. A few days ago a firm In Nc ford street were asked to manufi a timepiece of this description firm of patent beef-extract ma turers. The idea was tc fix tho clocks In the various restaurants where the beef*essence was sold, so that every quarter of an hour an automatic figun would appear in a small doorway und roar out encouragingly: “Now’s jthe time to drink our Ueef-tea—threepence a cup,” or words to that effect. For the use of the private individual tbe -talking clock might be empJojied with considerable effect as a mornlhg call. If a man wanted to be awakenW at, say, 7 o’clock, all he would have lo do would be to fix the attachment ^t that hour, wind up -.he talking*ma- chlne, and retire to rest, with every confidence of something happening. If everything went off nicely the room At 7 A. M. would be filled with the straii^s of “Hall, smiling morn ” or, in a light “ rein, “Rise up, William Riley,” which] as an eye-opener, has seldom been ex celled. So far orders for private bouses have not been extensive, but the general opinion among members of the trade is that the cuckoo at:d the trumpeter and the picolo solo an l the ornamental chime and bells will .soon give way to a clock that w’iH fife off instrumental solos and funny stories whenever any one presses a button. As a stimulant to the sleepy hand maiden of the suburbs, a contrivance that would yell out: “Now, then, hustli around and get that fire under eleven times in rapid succession, be one of the greaiest blessing stowed by modern science.* 'm Soldiers returning to the States who hare served seas are sporting their j stripes proudly.
