Accordiag to the latest information, the battle between the Russian and Japanese naval forces for the suprem­ acy of the Oriental seas, on which hangs the outcome of the far Eastern struggle, has begun, if it has not term­ inated decisively. All the dispatches received point to a Japanse victory, though it is not yet known whether the full force of Vice Adrimal Rojest- vensky’s fighting ships took part in the contest, which, according to the dis­ patches, took place in the comparative­ ly narrow waters of the Straits of Ko­ rea. The first information came in a dispatch from the American consul at Nagasaki to the State Department at Washington, telling that the Japanese had sunk one Russian battleship, four other warships and a repair ship in the Korean Strait, and this was fol­ lowed by a dispatch received by the State Department, the date of which was not given, that the "Japanese gov­ ernment had made the announcement that its fleet had engaged the Rus­ sians in the Straits of Korea Saturday and had held them.” The State De­ partment also received information that two of the vessels reported to have been sunk were the sister battle­ ships Orel and Borodino, and that three of the other ships were cruisers. From Tsingtau, the German port on the' Shantung Peninsula, came a report that a running naval engagement took place near the Island of Oki, in the Sea of Japan, 200 miles northeast of the Straits of Korea, and that the whole Russian fleet did not participate, the slow vessels having been sent around Japan. Russian sources give no news of the battle, while the Japanese gov­ ernment, following its custom, is silent as to either the battle or its outcome. .THINK TORPEDO BOATS DID IT. . Washington Navai Circles Comment on Dispatches to State Department —Battleship and Five More Vessels Sunk—Straits Held Against Rus­ sians. Washington, Special.—A dispatch re­ ceived at the State Department says that the Japanese Government has made the announcement that its fleet had engaged the Russians in the Straits of Korea Saturday and had held them . The reported sinking of the battle­ ship Bordino is mentioned in a dis­ patch received at the State Department from the consul at Nagasaki. The belief in the naval' circles in Washington is that tiie Japanese re­ sorted to the free use of torpedo boats in their attacks on the vessels of Vice- Admiral Rojestvensky’s fleet The Japanese have a large number of tor- -pedo boats,in their fleet and they de­ monstrated their effectiveness in the operations abound Port Arthur. Na­ val officers here express the opinion that it was unlikely that such serious losses as those reported could have been , inflicted by ordinary fjre. The following is the text of the Na­ gasaki dispatch to the State Depart­ ment:"Nagasaki, May 28.—Japanese sunk the Russian battleship Borodino and four more warships and a repair ship.”The other dispatch read as follows:“Tokio, May 27.—Japanese met and engaged the Baltic squadron this af­ternoon In the Straits of Fushima, which was held. Cannonading was heard from shore.”From information which has been received in Washington it is believed that two of the Russian ships reported to have been sunk in the Korean Straits by the Japanese are the Orel and her sister ship, the' Borodino. They are battleships of 13,000 tons. Three other vessels reported sunk are believed to have been cruisers, the remaining one being a repair ship. The Orel and Borodino are of 13,516 tons displacement each, heavily armed, well protected, and were designed to make 18 knots. They measure 397 feet by 76 feet, with 26 feet draught, and both have a lofty spar deck fully 30 feet above the water line, extending from the bow to the quarter deck. For­ ward is mounted a pair of 12.4-inch guns in a turret protected by eleven inches of Krupp armor. Another pair of guns, of same size, is mounted aft. There are thirty other guns on the in­ termediate battery, the vessels carry two submerged torpedo tubes and two above the water. A special feature of the vessels is their verdical longitudi­ nal bulkheads of inch armor, running throughout. the whole length of the ship at a distance of nine or ten feet inboard from the ships’ sides, designed to localize the effects of a blow from a torpedo. Failed to Mislead Togo. Chefoo, By Cable.—Private tele­ grams from Korea to the Japanese consul here state that a battle was progressing Saturday afternoon at or near the Korean straits, between the main portion of the Russian squadron and the Japanese fleet under command of Admiral Togo.Telegrams almost identical with the above have been received here, and announce that a large portion of the Russian fleet was sighted approach­ing the Korean,straits Sunday, head­ed for the channel between Tsu Island and the Japanese coast. According to the best information receievd here recently, the main por­tion of Admiral Togo’s fleet has been almost constantly at Masampho bay.Advices from a reliable quarter re­ceived here are to the effect that three Russian battleships, three armored cruisers and several colliers were off Shanghai Friday. It is believed that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky sent suffi­ cient ships to the vicinity of Shanghai in order to induce the belief that his main fleet, was there, while the major portion of it pushed on toward the Ko­rean straits. Sinking of American Ship. Washington, Special.—Confirmation has been received here from Shanghai of the press report that the Russian warships have sunk an unknown Amer­ ican merchant ship off the Chinese coast. Heavy gun fire is plainly heard to the northward. St. Petersburg, By Cable.—Nothing is known at the Admiralty of the re­ported sinking of an unknown Ameri­ can steamer off Formosa by Vice Ad­miral Rojestvensky. It is recognized at the Admiralty as quite possible that "Rojestvensky may have been com­pelled by military necessity to destroy a neutral. If he feared that to allow it to proceed and report the where­ abouts and direction of the Russian fleet w’ould endanger his strategic plan, he had no other alternative except to take off the crew and sink the ship. Such an incident is unfortunate, but every naval officer must admit that the risk in such a crisis is too great to take any chances. If the ship was un­ justifiably sunk from the standpoint of international law, Russia, of course, will have to foot the bill; but any cost is cheap if it furthered Rojestvensky’s mission.” Texas Town Not Destroyed, Austin, Tex., -Special.—S. J..L. Math­ er, mayor of Mineral Wells, Tex., re­ quested a correction of the report sent to several papers that the town had been badly damaged by a tornado last week. He says that no damage was done at all, and that excepting a very high wind, which swept over the town last Wednesday, there was no prova­ cation for such a report. Floods North of El Paso. El Paso, Tex., Special.—A half mil­ lion dollars is a conservative estimate of the damage done by the overflow of the Rio Grande north of El Paso In the Messilla valley. Some 7,000 acres of farm land are under water, crops and farm machinery have been lost, and all houses in the path of the waters washed away. The water in most places is six feet deep. Every abode house in Anthony, N. M., has been washed away and the people have fled to El Paso. The water is still rising rapidly, threatening great damage, especially at El Paso. McGraw Fined. New York, Special.—Manager Me- Graw, of the New York National Lea­gue Baseball Club, has been fined $150 and suspended for 15 days for using profane language to President Dreyfus, of the Pittsburg club. McGraw will be eligible to resume the privileges of the ball field on June Uth, providing that previous to' that date the fine of $150 is paid, together with the sum of $10, which fine was imposed by Pres­ ident Pulliam because of his being re­ moved from the game May 20th.

The rain­ fall was unfavorable for growth, and kept the soil so wet that work could not be resumed until quite late in the week. The temperature continued high at first, but fell below the normal dur­ ing the. latter portion, checking growth and positively injuring some tender crops, especially cotton. The mean for the week, however, averaged nearly 2 degrees above normal.. On Thurs­day, under the favorable influence of dry, clear and cool weather farmers resumed the necessary work of cul­ tivation with vigor; crops were very foiil in nearly all sections, but the work of killing grass and weeds made good progress, though another week of dry weather is necessary to enable the farmers to thoroughly clean all crops. Growth has been rather slow during the week, but craps continue to look fairly Well. » Planting cotton is now very nearly completed; some replanting is neces­sary where grass made so much head-. way that fields cannot be cleaned with­ out injuring the cotton; these will be plowed over and replanted; chopping cotton is well advanced, but not yet finished; good stands are generally re­ ported; the low temperatures during the latter portion of the week caused some cotton to turn yellow and die. Corn planting is not finished, lowlands having hardly been touched on ac­ count of their wet condition;- cultivat­ing corn is proceeding, good stands have been secured, but most fields are still very foul; there are many complaints of damage to corn by cut and bud worms, to the extent of even ruining the stands in places. A large portion of the tobacco crop has been trans­ planted, but the work has not been completed in the most important cen­tral—northern section of the State, and here, on account of inability to transplant due to the wet, unprepared lands, many plant beds are overgrown and nearly ruined; early set tobacco is being cultivated and appears to be doing well. Reports on the condition of wheat, oats and rye continue to be favorable, with comparatively littie damage by rust or Hessian fly. Clover and meadows are fine. Peanuts are coming up nicely. Many sweet potato slips were transplanted during the week: irish potatoes look healthy, but the damage by the potato beetle seems considerable. Garden and truck crops are in fair condition. Reports on the condition of fruits are rather diversi­ fied; in the west, a fair, even crop of both apples and peaches is indicated, while in the east considerable dropping of fruit is reported, though probably not more than is usual at this sqpson; cherries are ripening and wild black­berries have set fruit nicely. The strawberry season is practically over except in the westRains reported: Goldsboro, 1.26;Lumberton. 1.92; Newbern, 0.30; Wel­don, 1.14: Wilmiqg-on. 0.40; Hatteras, 1.60; Nashville, 0.98; Greensboro, 2.00; Raleiga. 1.24; Foster, 1.50; .Lexington, 1.24; Wadesboro. 1.75; Angier, 0.87; Moncure. 0.29; Ramseur, 0.11; Char­ lotte, 1.50: Asheville, 1.40; Marion, 1.53 and Settle, 2.40. Clay Griibb Shot.Salisbury, Special.—Monday morn­ ing about 9.30 o’clock, Clay Grubb and Clarence Thompson, the star witness for the defense in the recent trial here, drove in a gallop to Salisbury, both wounded all over the body and bleeding very freely. Forty-five minutes before, both men were shot from ambush two miles across the Yadkin river between Mr. Grubb’s home and the £oll bridge. The men were driving along feeling secure from attack in open daylight. When least expecting it, Mr. Grubb felt a sharp pain about the head, heard simultaneously a shot as of a pistol. Both Messrs. Grubb and Thomp­ son looked back and three more shots were fired. Mr. Grubb thought a rifle or a pistol was used, but all the wounds appear to be from large No. 2 shot. On being struck, the men whipped up their horses and drove rapidly to Salisbury. Their top buggy was fill­ed with shot and one of the horses . was struck. There was a wound Xthrough his forehead, a flesh wound only, and another shot went through the flesh of his chin. He was struck in the shoulder, in the hand, the el­ bow and his face was bloody. Young Thompson was struck first in the hands, the flesh being considerably llacerated. In his back there are seven gunshot wounds and he suffered con­siderably. He was much the worse for the experience. Mr. Grubb has 13 wounds and Mr. Thompson 16. Forty- eight marks were observed in the bug­ gy. Mr. Grubb recognized one of his assailants. He is a desperate negro, Nat Crump, and was bribed once be­ fore to shoot Mr. Grubb, when the prisoner was released Saturday, he re­ marked upon returning home that he was not uneasy about anybody’s at­tacking him except this negro. Crump once worked for Mr. Grubb; they fell out and Mr. Grubb whipped him. Since then the negro has been on the look­out for him. Mr. Grubb was warned Sunday of a possible attack. Oscar "Walser, who first communicated Obe Davis’ offer of $50 for the slaying of Grubb, also foretold him what was about to hap­pen again. Mr.. Grubb went to bed earljf last night, locked everything se­ curely and slept soundly. He had no fear of attack in the day-time, and was not prepared to do battle with the murderers. The only weapon about them was a small pistol in the foot of the buggy. New. Enterprises. A number of corporations were chartered Monday, among these being the Ahoskie Ice Company, of Hert­ ford county; the Consolidation Com­ pany, of Spray, Rockingham county, which is authorized to, have $125,000 capital, and to spin and weave and deal in textiles, operate bleacheries, etc., F.

He told Mr. Lutz, cashier of the bank, that he was a married man, and had three small children. He had on badges of both the Royal Arch and Blue Lodge Masons. Novel Case Decided. The Supreme Court delivers an opinion in a novel case, but one of general importance, this being of a citizen of Asheville against an electric company for cutting down a tree which shaded his yard, despite his protest. The court holds that the felling of the tree was not necessary for the purposes of the city and that the latter had no Tighj; to allow it to be felled for the benefit of a private corporation. If it had been for the better use of the street by the public, it would have been proper. The own­ er is allowed his claim for $500 dam­ ages. To Increase Endowment. Wake Forest, Special.—The trustees of Wake Forest College Friday morn­ ing, on recommendation of Dr. Charles E. Taylor, passed a resolution making Dr. Taylor special agent of the college in raising the funds for increasing the endowment. Dr. C. E.

Cooke, dean of the school of medicine, will re­ tire, and the executive committee will elect his successor during vacation. North State News. ■ Complaint was made to the Corpora­ tion Commission of the condition of the Yadkin Railway, a line from Salis­ bury to Norwood, Stanly county. The commission has made a ruling that on account of the heavy, grades, and the large amount of freight traffic, and further, on account of the curves ,in the road, the track ought to be re-laid with rail of at least 70 pounds to the yard, the present rail not being over 60 pounds, and that the defective crossties ,ought to be replaced by sounding and the railroad given such attention as to make it safe.

New York City. — The new steel drawbridge of the Pennsylvania Rail­ road over the Hackensack River, at the foot of Newark avenue, Jersey- City, was blown up by dynamite at 1.30 o’clock in tiie morning. The extent of the explosion was not definitely known by the railroad offi­ cials at 3 o’clock. The explosion was terrific. It made a big noise in the centre of Jersey City, three or four miles from the bridge. The river at the point whore the bridge crossed is 200 feet wide. The bridge was not complete. No trains had, of course, been on it. The old bridge, which the new structure paralleled, is still in use. As far as the railtoad men heard at 3 a. m. nobody was hurt. What caused the explosion Pennsyl­vania officials said they did not know. They said that no labor troubles had arisen from the work on the bridge. The explosion might have been an ac­ cident, they said.As soon as the railroad police heard of the explosion they sent word to the police of all the near-by towns request­ ing that all suspicious characters be rounded up and held. " ' E xplosion Sliakeg a B lock. Sergeant Maher, of the W est Thirty- seventh street station, was entering the pedigree of a prisoner about 3.30 o’clock in the afternoon when his chair began to rock. Simultaneously he heard a loud detonation like thunder. When he had collected his wits he de­ cided that there had been an explosion somewhere In the neighborhood and hurried out the reserves. The explosion was near Thirty-first street, between Eighth and Ninth ave­nues, in the great open space between the North River and Sixth avenue and Thirty-first and Thirty-third streets. Several accidents have occurred there since the blasting began for the foun­ dations of the great Pennsylvania Rail­road station. This last touched the top notch, however, in the damage it did. Nobody was seriously hurt, but sev­ eral persons were toppled over, one old woman was prostrated, pictures were shaken from the walls, statuary from shelves, and about 500 panes of glass shattered. The block on Thirty-first street, be­tween Eighth and Ninth avenues, suf­ fered most. The excavating is being done close up to these buildings, and the fronts of most of them had already been blown in before yesterday’s acci­dent. Miss Amelia Pope, who lives at No. 344 with her mother and sister, was dressing in her room on the third floor about 3.30 o’clock. She happened to look out of the window, which over­looks the torn-up space. “I saw a little wooden box standing on a rocky point.” she said, “and it was burning. ‘I hope it isn't dyna­ mite,’ I said to myself. ■ But the idea had hardly come into my head when it blew up with a terrible report. I was thrown off my feet.”A little to the west, in the house at 35S, live Morgan Williams nuil his wife. Mr. Williams is seventy years old and his wife sixty-eight. Mrs. Williams was prostrated by the shock. Mrs. Frederick, who lives at 3G2, was thrown out of bed. / The police had a hard time of it try­ing to get at the cause of the explo­sion. The first policeman who under­ took the investigation interviewed al­ most every foreman he could find con­ nected with the New York Construc­ tion Company, and went back to the still nervous Sergeant Maher confess­ing that he could learn nothing.Another policeman learned that across the excavation a track has been laid on which ,runs a little steam en­ gine used fcr hauling stones and dirt. Sparks from this engiue. which runs close by the spot where Miss Pope saw the box, he deduced, set the box on fire. It contained explosives and the crash followed. S tore C IoiR i Up# Stroudsburg, Pa.—A dynamite explo­ sion occurred early in the morning in the store building of Councilman H. Wr. Kistler. and fire which followed de­ stroyed the building and its contents. The explosion and fire, caused $20,000 damage. The shock of the explosion was felt many blocks away. It is believed that some one blew up the store out of revenge on Mr. Kist­ler. A year ago Mr. Kistler shot a bur­ glar, and the man’s friends declared they -would square accounts with him. In the last two mouths the town has suffered no fewer than thirty small robberies, and Councilman Kistler has taken an active part in bringing the guilty persons to justice.

Chicago, 111—All the lumber team­ sters iii Chicago, ill., struck, ISOO of them shutting down the lumber indus­ try absolutely for the time being at least. At the same time active preparations were under way for the possible order­ ing out of troops to keep down the wave of rioting and anarchy that may sweep the city. Adjutant-General Scott was iu Chicago from Springfield, 111., under orders from Governor Deneen, and everything was in readiness for an instant call to arms. Twa hours would be suflicieut to see the soldiers on the streets. The lumbermen’s association, deter­ mined to force the issue upon its driv­ers immediately, began early in the day to order the lumber teamsters to deliver supplies to Montgomery, Ward & Co., Sprague, Warner & Co., The Fair, and Marshall Field & Co. As fast as the orders were issued the driv­ ers dropped their reins and were dis­charged. As quick as the discharges were ordered the strikes in the various concerns went into effect. The first lumber concern to bo affect­ed was Francis Beidler & Co. This company has enormous yards and em­ ploys 100 drivers. It has on hand GO,- 000,000 feet of lumber. Many of the yards of Chicago get their supplies l’l-om this establishment. Following the strike in the Beidler yard came the following in quick suc­cession: Acoru Lumber Company, John E. Burns, Chandler Lumber Com­ pany, Deacon & Co., Gillespie. L,umber Company, Hettler Lumber Company, Marsh & Bingham, North Side Lumber Company, PiIsen Lumber Company, South Side Lumber Company and Jolin Spry Lumber Company. Already the workers' in the building trades feel the effect of the strike. At many buildings where lumber was needed the carpenters were obliged to stop work. Negotiations had been resumed be­ tween the unions and the employers, and a long conference ended at mid­night in the apartments of Levy Mayer in the Annex. At the meeting in the Annex were President C. P. Shea, of the Teamsters’ Union; A. J. Reed, W. .T. Gibbons, James Barry,- Jerry McCarthy, Peter W. Reitz and John Smyth, for the unions. The union committee left the Team­ sters' Joint CoimciI headquarters at 9.30 o'clock. The meeting with Mr. Mayer was held behind closed doors, and did not end until midnight. Then Mr. JIayer made the statement for both sides. President Shea added this remark: “I am always on the lookout for peace while negotiations are on.” JIr. Barry, of the railway express­men’s union, said: ‘‘I thihk we willget together.”The teamsters’ committee later re­ ported progress to the joint council and it adjourned to meet again in siiecial session. That the city government was pre­ pared for the worst was evident from the fact that JIayor Dunne received as­ surances from the Governor at Spring­ field that troops could be ready for ser­ vice at two hours’ notice. The per­ sistent endeavor of the employers to deliver to buildings now under con­struction would, it was feared, cause a spread of the strike among the con­ struction unions. It was feared, too, that the trouble would be increased by the determina­ tion of the lumbermen to stand pat and lock out all those who refused to de­ liver goods to the firms tabooed by the strikers. The more hopeful were of opinion that the conferrees would be able to come to some working conclusion and formulate a scheme of compromise. Nevertheless, in order to be prepared for the worst, men from all over the country began coming into the city and stood ready to take the places of those who were to go out if the strike should spread any further. In the lumber trade it was feared that if the strike conditions rontinued for any length of time the city would suffer from a lumber famine. MORE. YEARS FOR MACHEN.

THREATEN TO IMPEACH WEAVER W nr to F ininlt D cclnred A cninst m e Gas D ense an d E lilm B oot E etn in ed to A d­ v ise H im — Tw o C ity D irectors R e­ m oved, R ein stated an d TAaain R e. m oved—.D etectives U sed b y tlie M ayor Philadelphia, Pa.—In his effort to defeat the consummation of the plan to lease the city gas works to the Uni­ ted Gas Improvement Company for seventy-five years for ¥25,000,000, Mayor Weaver dismissed from office the two principal members of his Cab­ inet, David J. Smyth, Diregtor of the Department of Public Safety, and Peter E. Costello, Director of the De­ partment of Public Works. In their respective plaees he appointed ad in­ terim, Colonel Sheldon Potter and A. Lincoln Acker. In his fight against the gas lease and the Republican organization the Mayor has called in as counsel Elihu Root, of New York City, and ex-Judge James Gay Gordon, of this city. Judge Gor­ don is a Democrat. The Mayor’s stated purpose in going outside the city for his principal counsel is that he wants a man who is not identified with any faction in the struggle now on. Simultaneously with the dismissal of the two directors, Frederick J. Shoyer, Director of the Department of Sup­ plies, by direction of the Mayor, sus­ pended pending an investigation Ar­ thur H. Morrow, the Assistant’Direc­tor of the department. The Mayor’s blow was struck at the most vital spot of the Republican ma­chine—its patronage. PracticajIy all of the 20,000 place men in the city are directly at the mercy of the Director of Public Safety and the Director of Pub­ lic Works. The men he has appointed to these positions are members of the Reform Committee of Seventy. Colo­nel Potter is also a member of the Gov­ ernor’s staff, a stanch Republican, but regarded as absolutely clean In politics. The removal of Directors Smyth and Costello did mot come until after the Mayor had asked them to resign imme­diately. In reply each sent a letter of­fering his resignation, to take effect when his successor “shall be qualified.” The Mayor answered them by demand­ing their immediate resignation. The answers the directors returned were to the effect that they had tend­ ered their resignations “in the usual form and in accordance with the pro­ visions of the city charter,” and that they would stand by them as tendered. Mr. Weaver thereupon ended the cor­ respondence by sending to each a let­ter In which he said: “I feet that the best interests of the city require that our official relations shall terminate at once. You therefore place me under the painful necessity of immediately removing you from the position, as I feel that I must have some one in that office responsible only to the Mayor and to the city at once.” The fight over the form of the resig­nation was an important one, in that the new directors can only be qualified by the confirmation of the Councils, which is controlled by tlie organiza­ tion. It is not likely that the Councils will confirm the appointments. The Department of Public Safety has charge of the Police and Fire Bureaus. Electiieal Bureau, prisons, Building Inspectors, Boiler Inspectors, city property and Inspectors of Fire Es­capes. The bureaus of gas, highways, light­ ing. surveys, street cleaning, water and city ice boats are under the super­ vision of the Department of Public Works. Each director receives $10,000 a year. The situation assumed a new phase when Director of Public Safety Smyth and Director of Public Works Costello obtained a temporary injunction from Judge Ralston, in Common Pleas Court, restraining the Mayor from re­ moving them from office, and also an injunction against Colonel Sheldon Pot­ ter and A. Lincoln Acker, their suc­ cessors, from performing the duties of their respective offices.The deposed directors claimed that their successors could not qualify uutii they had been confirmed by City Coun­ cils and their bond had been accepted. The day following the Mayor coun­ tered on the ring by getting a superse­ deas from the Supreme Court and es­ tablishing his appointees In office. Be­fore doing it he personally removed Smyth and Costello from the offices they were attempting to fill. Three Select and six Common Coun­ cil men announced that they would’ change their vote on the lease. This would make the vote in Select Couucil thirty-four for the lease and eight against, and in Common Council sixty- eight for and sixteen against. It takes a twq-thirds vote to pass an ordinance over the Mayor’s veto.Steps to impeach the Mayor, it was said, were « 'cided on by “Boss” Diir-. ham as a counter action. The plan suggested was to rush Weaver’s impeachment through with lightning rapidity. The necessary pe­ tition wa6 to be brought into court and granted in one day, a special session of Councils called for tie next day and the trial rushed through on the spot.

A True Snake Story. "The affair happened on Saturday aight,” says the Bulawago Chronfele "in a room on the outskirts of Hayl ton. Four card players were intenl on a game of whist and the window was open to allow of some fresh air. Suddenly, out of the darkness, five feet of black mamba hurled itself through the open window into the room. For a moment every one was paralyzed, and then one of the occu­ pants seized hold of the most handy weapon and flung it at the intruder. Zt happened to be a water bag and the snake received a cold toaohe, which was evidently pot to its liking, for it vanished just as suddenly as it had come, by the same route. A search of the premises discovered the creature In an adjoining room, but it again made Its escape, and, as the police would say, is 4Stili at large/ M Sun Parlor for Baby. Sunning the baby is the latest thing In baby culture. No household is too poor to possess one of these patent adjustable sun parlors. They are made of some kind of-hard wood and built by the carpenter to eitend beyond the window. The top and sides of the little platform are covered with glass, and strips of car­ pet are laid on the floor to stop up any cracks there may be. No matter how fiercely the winds may blow or how low the thermometer may sink the sun parlor is always ready for the baby. A pillow is placed on the carpeted floor, then the baby is warmly dressed and well covered for its morning or afternoon nap. Mothers who have tried Uiis method of sunning the baby are boasting of the gain in weight and health and have the proud satis­ faction of knowing they are strictly up to date.

BOOK OF BOOKS. O ver 30,000,000 P u b lish ed . An Oakland lady who has a taste for good literature, tells what a happy time she had on 44The Road to Well- ville/* She says: “I drank coffee freely for eight years before I began to perceive any evil ef­ fects from it. Then I noticed that I was becoming very nervous, and that my stomach was gradually losing the power to properly assimilate my food. In tjme-I got so weak that I dreaded to leave the house—for no reason what­ ever but because of the miserable con­ dition of my nerves and stomach. I attributed the trouble to anything In the world but coffee, of course. I dosed myself with medicines, which ,in the end would leave me in a worse condition than at first. I was most wretched and discouraged—not 30 years old and feeling that life was a failure! 4T had given up all ho; e Of ever en­ joying myself like other people, till one day I read the little book, 44The Boad to Wellville.” It opened my eyes, and taught me a lesson I shall never forget and cannot value too highly. I imme­ diately quit the use of the old kind of coffee and began to drink Postum Food Coffee. I noUcedthebegiiiningof an improvement in the whole tone of my system, after only two days use of the new drink, and in a very short time realized that I could go about like ocher people without the leastveturn of the nervous dread that formerly gave me so much trouble. In fact, my nerv­ ousness disappeared entirely and has never returned, although it is now a year that I have been drinking Postum Food Coffee. And my stomach is now like iron—nothing can upset it! 44Last week, during the big Conclave in San Francisco, I was on the go .day and night without the slightest fatigue; and as I stood in the immense crowd watching the great parade that lasted for hours, I thought to myself, 4This 'Strength is what Postum Food Coffee has given- me!*” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

AU railroad men qualified to speak Mi the subject In a responsible way are likely to agree with President Sam­ uel Spencer, of the Southern Railway, when he says: “There is no division of opinion as to the desirability of stop­ ping all secret or Unjustly discrimina­ tory devices and practices of whatso­ ever character.” Mr. Spencer, in speaking of “unjust­ ly discriminatory” rates and devices, makes a distinction which is at once apparent to common sense. There may be discrimination in freight rates which is just, reasonable and impera­ tively required by the complex com­ mercial and geographical conditions with which expert rate makers have to deal. To abolish such open and honest discrimination might paralyze the in­ dustries of cities. States and whole sec­ tions of-our national territory. This distinction between just and unjust discrimination is clearly recog­ nized in the conclusions of the Inter­ national Railway Congress, published yesterday: “Tariffs should be based on commercial principles, taking into account the special conditions which bear upon the commercial value of the services rendered. With the- reservation that rates shall be charged with­out arbitrary discrimination to all shippers alike under like conditions, the making of rates should as for as possible have all the elasticity necessary to permit the develop­ment of the traffic and to produce the great­est results to the public and to the railroads themselyes.” The present proposal is, as Mr. Walk­ er D. Hines, of Louisville, showed in his remarkable testimony the other day before the Senate Committee at Washington, to crystalize flexible and justly discriminatory rates into fixed Government rates which cannot he changed except by the intervention of some Government tribunal, and by this very process to increase “the tempta­ tion to depart from the published rate- and the lawful rate In order to meet some overpowering and urgent com­ mercial condition.”—New York Snn.

H ow H e L ives as C om pared W U h F ifty T ears A go. T HE farming life of to-<lay, as contrasted with that of fifty years ago, is a paradise of , comfort and convenience. The lonely loghouse, remote from market and devoid of advantages that a half cycle of time lias made possible, would scarcely appeal to the present day farmer. * The twentieth century soil tiller has practically all the modern comforts. His mail is delivered daily. He has telephonic connection with the buying and selling world, affording the best opportunities for marketing to advan­ tage. His home is of receut architec­ ture, constructed of wood, brick or stone, and well furnished. He has modern plumbing and modern healing, and with the advent of acetylene gas. he has modern lighting. At night his home is as attractively illuminated as that of his city brother, for it is a sug­ gestive fact that ‘‘acetylene for coun­ try homes” has so appealed to the farm­ er that of the SOtOOO users of acety­ lene gas in the United States the farm­ er is one of the largest of ail classes. Ever seeking the best, he has not hesi­ tated in availing himself of this new light The continued growth and progress of this great country, ever a cause of wonderment, has no greater exempli­ fication than evolution on the farm. Already the farmer is becoming the most envied of men—the freest, the healthiest, the happiest! Jets and Flashes. It is easier to start a rumor than it Is to head it off. A girl is never satisfied until she draws her beau into a knot. That charity which begins at home would rather patronize an excursion boat than paddle his own canoe? At. tlie P ack ers R eceivin1- P a ir Play? Wben tbe Garfield report on tbe business methods of the packers ap­ peared, after eight months’ investiga­ tion. it was severely criticised and roundly denounced. After three months of publicity it is significant that those who attempted to discredit it have failed to controvert the figures con­ tained in that exhaustive document. The public is beginning to notice this omission, and the feeling is rapidly growing that the sensational charges out Of which the “Beef Investigation” arose were without foundation. If the official statements of Ihe report are susceptible of contradiction, a gpod many people are'now asking why the facts and figures are not furnished to contradict them. The truth seems to be that most of the charges contain unfounded sensa­ tional assertions. A flagrant example of this appeared iu a recent article iu an Eastern magazine, to tbe effect that “forty Iowa banks were forced to close their doors in 1903-4 by the Beef Trust’s manipulation of cattle prices.” Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de­ partment of the Iowa State Auditor's office, has tabulated the list of banks given in the magazine article and has publicly denounced the statement as utterly untrue. He gives separately the reasons for each failure mentioned and officially states «that they have been caused by unwise speculations and by reckless banking methods. It may. be well to suspend judgment upon the packers until the charges against them are proved. . sBackache, “The Blues BotK Symptoms of Organic Derangement in Women—Thousands of Sufferers Find Relief.

My backaches and headaches are all gone and I suffer no pain at my menstrual periods, whereas before I took Lydia E.

Toij.ay he again appeared and voluntarily ntkeil to testify. The privilege was panted him. and he then told how he, as officer of the election, had Huffed the ballot bos in the Elev­ enth ward, he had marked between IOOanddfihvotesfor the straight Democratic ticket and had shoved 'hciu into the box.

In reading the reports from Dem­ ocratic papers oue is led to believe that we are to have two daily Re­ publican papers at Greensboro. Charters have been taken out for two and our Democratic frieuds say it. means war between factions of the party. 11' this be true it is un­ fortunate. for it is going to take a united party to make one succeed as it should be. In unity there is strength, and without unity there is little hope. Up to a week ago ire had not heard ol' Mr. Butler promoting:! paper; since then we liaveseeii his circular letter sent out from Washington. We have never Ioiiiid out that Mr. Butler was a Republican. We have not forgotten how -Mr. Butler trad­ ed and tratlic'.ed a few years ago, and did his best to defeat Senator Triteliavd for the Senate. Mr. But-' Ier knows his party is defunct, and should conditions change and great discontent prevail throughout the wintry, you might look for Mr. ISryau and his ilk to unite again for the overthrow of the Republican pirty. Wo are takiug noipart iu fictionj. IYe desire to see the Re publican party in purer in this State, bur it ca io.it succeed divid­ ed in o warring fictions. Some one iu all movements has got to push it, and .-Ir. Blackburn was the first man, to our knowledge making an effort to organize a Re publican daily. We have, for sev­ eral years, advocated the establish­ ment of such a paper in this State llkinoncw thing for pertain men tnoppose such things. We know loniell how much encouragement lheeditor of Tlu Record had in es tablishing a paper in this county. WegoI up a subscription, but not a man paid a cent, and if we had not gone down in our own pocket and paid the entire bill there would wior have been a Davie Record, ami inday we are fighting our way alone single handed with a sin,ill tmal against u.s, giving aid and, comfort to the enemy. The Record has grown, and is stronger than ever, aud will continue as iong as dispeople give us sufficient pat Wiirge to gn ahead. We shall support a daily Repub­ lican paper, but we shall uot aid I factiimalisin. LeEsall pull togeth­ er and disappoint Democracy. JUDGE PEEBLES APPROVED. Quotation* from a Sporch of Judge Arm- lleld Against the IuIwTaalBeTennelWhIeh Oar Correspondent Thinks Applies to the Present State Legislature. To the;Editor of the Landmark: - There is such a craze in this State and especially in Iredell county, over the “licker” -question, t hafcl was pleased to see that Judge Pee­ bles, at Greensboro, refused to let a man be convicted of violating the Ii- qnor law upon the evidence of an officer who had broken into a mau’s house without any process of law, and alleged that lie found a small quantity of '‘licker’ iu the house. And when rolil by the solicitor that the last legislature had authorized Agents. It is aremarkable fact, and one that is hard to understand, that the. closest and stingest folks are tli,e ones that traveling agents “pull” the quickest and easiest. When an organ agent comes round it’s no trouble to pnt a $25 organ off on au ,economical man for $60, and the person that you would think would be the last oue in the community to be taken in by. the sweet song of the agent is the first one to al­ most give away a good second hand sewing machiue in exchange for an $18 umchine at $60. We heard an agent telling some of his experience once. He was selling ranges. He enquired of a man about his next SCHOULER’S Department Store. riA IL ORDER Departmento County Commissioners were in session Monday and began the re­ vising of the Jury list—a big job, and they adjonrned to June 26th to complete the workJ IN U A D C HASE* Millions rush in mad chase after health, from one extreme otfadism to another, when, if they would only eat good food and keep their bowels regular with Dr. King's New Life Pills their troubles would all pass away.

He was ty of having liquor in the house, the judge replied that if it had the act was a violatiou of both theState and Federal constitutions, and was void. It is truly refreshing to see that there is one judge, at least, who has not lost his s.euses, aud is willing to stand for the people and the constitutions of the State and Nation. And this causes me to make some extracts from a speech made by Judge It. F, Armfield, once a lead­ ing citizen of this county, in the Coiigress of the United Statc3 on the 23th of April, 1SS2. In discussing the internal reve­ nue, he said: ilThey bring with told that it wonld hot be worth while to. stop there as the man was close aud stingy he never had bought anything except what he was compelled to buy', but the agent went on to see him anyhow. He approached the mau in the pe­ culiarly pleasant way known only to traveling agents, called for a drink of water, asked the way to the next house anil was ;u the act Of starting on wheu the stingy mau asked him what it was that he had ou his wagou. “It’s a range, the best thing of the kind on earth. I would have shown it to you. but your neighbors tell me that yon are not able to buy an expensive range We are in a position to fill your Mail Orders promptly and accurately. The system of our Mail Order Department is so simple and direct Iha fi OUR OUT OF TO W N CUSTOMERS. are enabled to buy as safely, and almost as quickly as those who Visit our Store in Person. IW-AI1L MAIL ORDERS RECEIVE * INDIVIDUAL ATTENTfON. them an odions host of spies anil j of this kind.” With a feeling of informers, pimps, and sycophants,” Mr. Breekenriiige, in his history of the Western Insurrection, common­ ly called IThe Whiskey Rebelion,” says of western Pennsylvania at that time: “ The farmers having no market for their products, were from necessity com pel ed to red uce its bulk by converting their grain iuto whiskey. The still was there- iudignation the old farmer said ke’d show ’em whether he was able to buy or not and he promptly gave the agent his order and signed the contract. There are some houses in every community at which au agent for wares, inventions and merchandise never stops unless it is by mistake;, and they generally know where itfore the necessary appendage of: js useless to stop. They hayesome every farm, where the Ianner was, way of lindiug out who the men are able to procure it; if not he was compelled to carry his grain to the more wealthy to be distilled.” Aud in a petition againstthe law it is said: ‘ For these reasons we have found it absoliuely necessary to introduce a number of small ills tilleries into our settlements and iu every circle of twenty or thirty neighbors of oue of these are gen­ erally erected for the accommoda­ tion of the neighborhood.” “ All this may be literally ap­ plied Io a number of counties iu western North Orrolina. Produc­ ing scarcely anything for market except the surplus of their graiu Tops and the fruit of their orchards of the finest apples and peaches to be found iu the world, they are so remole from lines of transportation they cannot afford to haul these bulky articles to market, they are eo in pel led to reduce its bulk by converting their grain into whiskey ind.iheir fruit iuto biuudy * * To people so situated these laws are ruiu and bankruptcy. They are deprived ot their only means of ac­ quiring the money to pay cheir tax­ es to the State anil conuty, to edu­ cate their children and to buy the few ueeessaries and luxuries they' arc accustomed to use, wuicu they eaunot produce ou their farms. “They are compelled to suffer.-tlie fruits oi -their orchards to rot un­ used under the trees that produced them, and haul their surplus grain to the few men who have the menus and temerity to undertake to run, a government distillery’, thus making a narrow monopoly ot what was to their fathers and ought to be to them free to- all alike. 1‘All good men must censure and deplore any forcible resistance to law, no matter how oppressive, so long as it remains ou the statute book, bat it is uot surprising, Mr. Chairman, that.rnde au I unlettir- eil mountaineers, smarting under a lawthatsinglesout their peculiar industries and blights their all, a law that deprive* them of the bless ings of Heaven in the propi tious season and the fruitful products of their own weary toil, should some­ times forget their allegiance to law, and in their indignation at the wrong, and seeking with their pwn hands that justice thac the .gov­ ernment denies them, with the. might that slumbers in a peasant s arms.”- It is to be deplored but it is but the natural steering of the Anglo-Saxon blood that too often, where it “Feels the wrong and hath the might. It’s own A v en g er, girds itself to slay ” This speech was made againsc the revenue law. But there js not a sentence in it that does not apply with much greater force to the pres­ ent State legislation. The farmer s f-iiit is to lie upon the ground and rot! They are absolutely forniden to distil). .The whiskey distilleries are all run into incorporated towns of I, 000 population or more, and in the hands of the wealthy, giving them a complete monopoly. Can any­ thing be more unfair and oppres­ sive to the farmers of the country! - Statesville, N. G D. -Pilate’s ironical inciiption hail a germ of truth in it. Jesus is Kmg® ■ . ’ « i tnnci that canuot be persuaded to buy’ at agents’ prices. Perhapsthe easiest thing for an agent, who is up to his business, to to work successfully is the sewing machine business. There are but few women who have much knowl­ edge of machinery. They neglect oiling and eleauiug the machine or fail fo keep everything properly ad­ justed, and it gets slightly out of repair. Then an agent comes along with a new machine well oiled and in good running order. ITe repre­ sents it as a machine made of pe­ culiarly fiue metal and so construct­ ed that it will notwearout in a life time and, if they' will buy it, it will not only give them happiness and ease during tbeir life time but will be a valuable asset after they are dead, and can be handed down o their children from generation to generation as a valuable piece of property that they will he tinwill- ing-to part with. Being.such a fiiie (!) piece of property the company that makes it will not let ordinary dealers hauille it, aud is therefore sold only by ageuts at a certain price. Thetired lady.of the .house b comes charmed with the happy visions presented anil promptly gives her ouler for a machine at- the “ trust” price of $30pr $30 that should be sold for $15 to $18 .,It is strange how folks will “cuss ont” trusts anil combines apd then patronize the trusts'in preference to buying an article that is sold by dealers and stands the test qf com­ petition which is the best regulator of prices. When a concern forins a- trust and says an article shall be sold only at an exorbitant price— shall he sold only by agents—it’s not a sign that the said article is better than otherssold regularly by any dealer that wants to sell if,but it’s a sign that somebody wants a fat rake off and they' take that method of getting it. If a local merchant should get control of the supply of nails that sell at three cents a pound and decide that they shall be sold '“only by. agents” at 9 cents a pound that msrehant would be almost 'run out of the country. But if a big concern at a distance does business that way lots of people recommend it, endorse it and give it ther support .-Our Home. ,NGT MUCH.

There are few things which can be bought cheaper than good white paper and envelopes, and steel pens and clear black ink, and all of these should be in more general me among farmers.

St. Petersburg, By Cable.—At a great demonstration Sunday evening in the Povlovsk' Gardens, near Tsaitro-Selo, the five thousand persons present clam­ ored for a funeral march in memory of the Russian sailors who had lost their lives in the naval disaster in the Sea of Japan. The members of the. or- cestra became alarmed and fled from the platform, when M. Novikotf, for­ mer mayor of Baku, arose and said:“Let us ail by rising show respect for the victims. Down with the war. We have had enough of blood."Some eighty policemen entered from either side of the hall and elbowed their way through the crowd towards SI. Novikoff, whereupon cries were raised of “Let us attack the police." Chairs were seized and hurled at the I olice, the crowd being led by a col­onel with a drawn sword. The police­men fled precipitately. Order being restored, a number , of speeches were delivered on the national ori8is. Suddenly the police, re-enforced to between 200 and 300, again invaded the hall and rushed on the audience with drawn swords. The people'defend- ed themselves with chairs and sticks, but after ten minutes were driven from the hall into the garden, where there was a battalion of soldiers, who raised their rifles to their shoulders, prelim­inary to -an order to fire, causing a panic. The public fled toward the, ex­ its, and finding them closed, smashed the doors and windows of the hall and so gained'the street. Many persons were injured, some so seriously ^hat they had to be taken to a hospital. M. Novikoff was arrested1, and the gardens were occupied by police and Cossacks. A strong military-force was placed on the road leading from Pav- lovsk to Tsarkoe-Selo and to St. Pe­tersburg and at the railway stations. TeopIe returning to St. Petersburg from the gardens spread accounts of the affair, which soon became a general topic. Pavlovsk is 19 miles from St Peters­ burg and is a summer resort for inhabi­tants of the capital. Called on Gov.-Gen. Wright. Manila, By Cable.—Bear Admiral En- quist, accompanied by Hear Admiral Train and the French Consul, formal­ly called on Governor General Wright Monday. After the usual greetings had been exchanged, Governor Wright asked: “Do you wish to stay at Manila per­manently?” Rear Admiral Enouist replied:. “My ships are" unseaworthy, t have not heard from' my government, and I request time to make repairs.” Governor Wright then said that ac­cording to his construction of the neu­trality laws, the Russian vessels could remain long enough to make neces­ sary repairs, and after these were fin­ ished, they must leave within twenty- four hours or dismantle and interne. Rear Admiral Bnquist requested per­mission to bring his ships behing the breakwater for repairs. This request was granted him, and the ships will move Tuesday morning. Narita Goro, Japanese, cunsul, called on Governor Wright Just before Rear Admiral Enquist called and made in­quiry regarding the probable disposi­tion of the Russian warships. TIpon leaving, Goro met Rear Admiral En- quist in the corridor of the Governor's residence And tendered him a profound salutation. Rear Admiral Enquist and staff then called upon Major General Corbin, to whom Rear Admiral Enquist- ex­ pressed great gratitude for the hospital­ ity and comfort afforded them and the courtesy with which General Corbin offered the use of the army hospitals, together with surgeons and food for the wounded Russian sailors. General Corbin said: .-. “Admiral; how many admirals were there in the fight?" “There were four of us,” said the admiral. ' .Conference of Reforms, Tangier, By Cable.—Mohammed BI Torree, the Foreign Minister, on bei half of the Sultan, has invited the rep­ resentative of the powers to aak for an international conference at Tangier for the purpose of discussing reforms jn Morocco.

In the Gastern belt, the plant is making better progress than in the central and western belt, but as a rule over the entire region the crop is doing poorly, especially in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, where the plant is badly in the grass, and in Texas and Arkansas, where the outlook in many sections is very discouraging, farmers having been unable to finish planting, and some fields being abandoned on ac­ count of wet weather. The crop is about two weeks later than usual, and considering the reduc­ tion in acreage, of about 15., as per our crop letter of the thirteenth ult., the weather conditions of the next thirty days are of greatest importance, as they will throw more light on the chances for a crop in keeping with consumption. Weather conditions will continue to govern prices for some time to come.

Although considerable improvement in weather conditions was reported In many counties, the past week was un­ favorable both for farm work and tot the growth Of crops over the larger portion of the State, The rain-fall was again above the normal, Occurring from the 22nd to 23rd and 26th to 27th, thus giving only two Or three days on which, farm work eottld proceed. ThS least precipitation Ocfiurred aloilg the north­ ern tier of counties, add id many cen­ tral Ofies, wherfe a large amdtint of work was accomplished; ifl Some Ex­ treme nbrtheast counties therS are Sven some reports Of suffering for lack of mdifiturfei Ifl iifearljr all southern coun­ ties thtt tain was heariv continuous, gtvibg Very iittie opportunity for frotk.

Where conditions permitted farmers have been very busy during the week chopping cotton, cultivating corn, transplanting tobacco and sweet pota­to slips, and finishing the planting of corn; crops that have been cleaned look fairly WSii, but YSi^ many fields are still very grassy. A week of warm, dry sunny weather is needed. . The work of planting cotton was ao much delayed that many fields intend­ed for that crop will be used for other Iiufpbsegi go that' {!!anting cotton is practically finished; CiteppiBg is well advanced hut by n6 pleaiis completed; stahdS fit-8 j-Sguiar, fciit low. tempera­ tures 86fitlnu6 t0 prfivSnt rapid growth, plants are very small 'for the season, and are yellow in many fields; much late planted cotton is not yet up.

Tii6 State Department of Agriculture Monday evening gave oiit the following annual report of the acreage devoted to cotton: In view of the Important bearing of the acreage devoted to cotton upon prices of this staple, unusual interest is felt in the size of the crop planted. The result giveii beiaw i§ carefully com- pilld froin reports St §. large number of regular correspondents, and Is believed to be approximately correct. An Inter­ esting feature 6f the report is the dif­ ference between the estimated acreage of all cotton counties and of a dozen of the largest cotton counties, repre­sentative of the different sections. REPORT BY COUNTIES.The total acreage, compared with Iasi ^eari is BK per cent-., Indicating a de­ crease 6f 21% pgr cent. T1l6 total acre­ age in 12 large counties is 81 per cent, indicating a decrease of 19 per cent.Reports from the 12 counties above referred to are as follows: Anson, 81 per cent; Beaufort, 85 per cent.j Cleveland, 87 per cent.; Edge- comb, 82 per cent.; Halifax, 79 per cent.; Johnson, 76% per cent.; Meck- ienbtlrg, 7? per cent.; Pitt, 80% per cent,; Robeson, 85 per cent; Union, 75 per cent.; Wake, 79 per cent.; Wayne, 85 per cent. Owing to late spring cold or cool weather, and excessive rains during the last three weeks, there is much com­plaint as to the present condition of the crop. Grass, scarcity of labor and wet weather are the chief causes of complaint. Two Growing Towns. As showing the extent of develop ment many sections of the State are making, an example may be cited of the towns of Dover and Winterville. A few years past each of these places were practically in the woods. Now Dover has a population of 1,500 and Winterville Ia close behind. Both are manufacturing towns; each located on the Atlantic & North Carolina railroad, In the heart Cf the rich middle sec­ tion of the State. These towns are only a sample of many others that are doing equally as well. ' No Compromise to be Considered.

Topeka, Kan.—With the beginning of hurvest in Sonthera Kansas only two weeks awa.v, the wheat reports show n remarkable 1'ullitig off from tiiose of the early part of the season. It is the nuiinimoiis opinion of dealers aud min­ ers that it has deteriorated in general percentage steadily since the first of May, Tlie growing crop is thin on tlie ground throughout the Southwest, and a considerable acreage has been aban­ doned in Oklahoma and the southern comities of Kansas'. Fields iu a sin­ gle locality rary greatly, aud reports are consequently contradictory..Many leading authorities make the estimate of 75,000,000. bushels In Kan­sas. as against 05,00O1O(K) last year, and 87,000,000 in 1008. They also cut lower Okiahoiiia to 18,000.000 bushels. Others are more hopeful. A. trip to tiie southwestern part of the State a few days ago gave the impression that sonic of the bad reports were exag­ gerated, and that 80,000.000 bushels might be expected, partienlarly as the central nortbern counties, where the yieitl last year was light, were expect­ed to give a much larger yield than last year. World’s Silk Congress. The State Departmeut at Washing­ton. JX U.. is advised that au Interna­tional silk congress is to be lield in Turin, Italy, next year. The purpose is to discuss the character of silk manufactures in view of the extensive cheapening of silks by heavy dyeing. For years there have been complaints concerning the non-durability of silk ;oods. It is said the purchasing pub­ lic is largely at fault in buying cheap qualities of silk, to which the dyeing establishments, have added so much coloring matter that the durability: has beeu lessened. BetaiI Business Conditions. Improvement was reported In retail trade, although weather conditions have been far from ideal, and excess­ive raiu retarded agricultural progress sufficiently to cause conservatism iimong dealers. - New Oriental Bank, The Orient Bank, in Athens, Greece, established under the auspices o| the Rational Bank of Germany, has added a branch at Alexandria to the ones al­ ready iu operation at Constantinople.

For Systematic Scientific Reaeareh Prof. Pearson, the English scientist,. has been considering the suggestion of Prof. Slraca Newcomb looking to the Bystematlzatlon of scientific re­ search by organizing investigators intc what might be termed battalions. Dr. Pearson says that what science need: at present is to get rid of most of its data and investigators with brains enough to interpret what is left. “At least 50 per cent of the observations m^jle and the data collected,” says Prof. Pearson, "Is worthless, and no man, however able, could deduce any result from them at all. In engineer’! language, we need to ‘scrap-heap1 about 50 per cent of the products o! nineteenth century science.” Put His Will In Rhyme. “We get some queer wills here,” laid Deputy Begister Stroup of Harris­ burg, Pa. “But here is one that beats nnything I have ever seen since I have been here." Mr. Stroup produced a small sheet of paper, which contained: When my wife’s a widow, of me be­ reft. She shall inherit all I’ve left: And when she’s finished her career It then shall go to my daughter dear. This document was duly attested as a will and was received for probate. It came' from the lower end of the .'OUuty, and will be the guide In set­ tling an estate.—New York Herald. It is a fact that when the city man and boy take a vacation from their toil and the city woman and girl from their home duties they gener­ ally want to take whal. Dr. Adler calls an ethical vacation, too. Tie country people know and feel this and some of their most conscientious people resent it, declares the New Yorlc Mail. They object that city people, let loose In the country, do things which they would not do at home. Hatless and coatless, city girls who are careful of their con­ duct at liome sit saucily on the coun­ ter of the mountain grocery store and thump their heels against its boards.

UJJ, Shoe Lacer for Fat People. Mrs. Elizabeth Falconer ot Louis* trille, Ky., has just perfected an in­ vention which promises to revolution­ ize the lacing of shoes by fat people. The invention enables men or wom­ en to lace their shoes without stoop­ ing, and although it was not invented primarily for tat men—there— are no fat women—it will he utilised as much by them as by the aged and “in­ firm, for whose comfort it was brought into the world. The Inven­ tion is simple. One lace string is per­ manent in positon, and pulling the top of it laces the shoes. Pulling the bot­ tom string loosens the shoe. Effective Smoke Consumer. What is said to have proved an ef­ fective smoke consumer has been tried in London. The invention comprises a screen of tubular fire bricks, made of special material built up in the fur­ nace in such a position that all the products of the fire pass through the screen. The latter Quickly becomes incandescent, and “flashes” the gases as they pass through, thus preventing the formation of carbon. Commenting on the effects of the dime novel and the sensational play in increasing crime the Insurance Monitor says that the criminal classes in America are increasing faster than the population and that most of the thefts and burglaries are committed by minors or men in their early 20's. HISTORIC CHIC<AMAUCA PARK ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION. United Stftten Ssrctem *«f Uirhtlne Mill* tary Post Prononncod draff fy in el y Snrre««fnl— Six and Oite-Hnlf IIfiIes ot Mains— Sixty-Five Street iijfhtc, Cbickamauga Park, Ga., MiiySL-Tbe United States Government has here in operation one of the largest acety­ lene gas plauts in the world. The miN itary post at the entrance ot the his­ torical Chickamanga oattlefield, where thirty thousand Union and Confederate soldiers were lost in the memorable battle of September 19 and 20, 1803, contains about one hundred buildings, the seventy-five principal ones of which are lighted with acetylene. To accom­ plish this six aiul one-half .miles of nmins and two miles of service pipes are iu use, while sixty-five street lamps brilliantly illuminate the avenues, of the post. In 1903 the War Department in­ stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort Meyer, Virginia. The results were SO gratifying and the. superiority of the ilUiminant so evident that the Govern­ ment, March 20, 1004, placed the con­ tract for the Chickamauga plant, in which every citizen of the United States should have his pro rata of pride. Cut the Government has not confined its acceptance of acetylene to this inili- iary post. Since becoming satisfied of the efficiency, superiority and econom­ ical advantages of this particular il- Itiminantj the United States has in­ stalled a number of plants in Indian schools and other Government insti­ tutions. AceJyIene gas is one of the simplest as well as the most perfect of artificial lights. It is made by the contact of water and carbide (a manufactured product for sale at a nominal price), is absolutely safe and gives a beantlfnl white light soothing to the eyes and nerves. It can be produced anywhere —in the farm home, the village store, the town hall, the church—and is so easily maintained as to be practical for all classes. It Is a matter for national congratu­ lation that in beautifying so historic a spot as Cbickamauga, nothing but the best, including the lightfog system, has been deemed good enough for the American people. FEED YOU MONEY Feed Tonr BrAinl nnd It .Will Feed Ton Money and Fame* “Ever since boyhood I have been especially fond of meats, and I am con­ vinced I ate too rapidly, and failed to masticate my food properly. 44The result was that I found ,myself, a few years ago, afflicted with ailments of the stomach and kidneys, TrhicJb in­ terfered seriously with my business. “At last I took the advice of friends nnd began to eat Grape-Kuts instead of the heavy meats, etc., that had consti­ tuted my former diet. “I found that I was at once benefited by the change, that I was soon relieved from the beart-burn and the indigestion that used to follow my meals, that the pains in my back from my* kidney af­ fection had ceased, showing that those organs had been healed, and that my nerves, which used to be unsteady, and my braiu, which was slow and lethargic from a heavy diet of meats and greasy foods, had, hot iu a moment, but grad­ ually, and none the less surely, been restored to normal efficiency.' Kow every nerve is steady aud my brain and thinking faculties are quicker and more acute than for years past. “After my old style breakfasts I used to suffer during the forenoon from a feeling of weakness which hiudered me seriously in my work, but since I have begun to use Grape-Nuts food I can work till dinner time with all easfe and comfort.” Kame given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. x There’s a reason.

The recent chase of a wolf by a train on the Cheyenne & Northern railroad north of Cheyenne was dis­ counted near here when engine 1657, hauling a special fast freight, ran down and killed two coyotes. The an­ imals were trotting along on the track over a section of the country that was deep in snow. At the approach of the train the coyotes attempted to jump from the track but the high banks of snow prevented this, so they tried to run away from the iron horse. For over six miles the race continued be­ fore the coyotes were run down and killed.—Benver Republican. R^tlro»’i Kate Leflilatlon, Testifying before the Senate Com­ mittee at Washington, Interstate Com- inerce Commissioner Prouty said in discussing the proposition to give that commission the power to regulate rail­ way rates: ‘I think the railways should make their own rates. I think ihey should be allowed to develop their own busi­ ness. I have never advocated any law, and I am not now in favor of any law, which would put the rate making power into the hands of any commis­ sion or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some States nt the present time, while it is done in some Countries, I am opposed to it. The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property Is not good for anything unless it can charge a rate. Now it has always seemed to me that when a rate was fised, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, lt' deprives the railread company of its property pro tan to. It is not necessary that you should confiscate the property of a railroad; it is not necessary that you should say that it shall not earn three per cent, ot four per cent. When you put In a rate that is inherently un­ reasonable, you have deprived that company of its rights, of its property, and the Circuit Court of- the United States has jurisdiction under the four­ teenth amendment to restrain that. I have looked at these cases a great many times, and I can only come to the conclusion that a railroad company is entitled to charge a fair and reasonable rate, and if any order of a commission, if any statute of a State Legislature, takes away that rate, the fourteenth amendment protects the railway com­ pany.” INTERESTING LETTER WHITTEN BfA KOTABLEWOMAN Mrs. Sarah Kellogg of Denver, Color Bearw of the Woman's Relief Corpnl Sends Thanks to Mrs. Pinkham.

I was unabte to at­tend to my house work,and lifebecame a bur­den to me. I was coufined.for days to my bed, lost my appetite, my courage and all hope.4< I could not biear to think of an operation, and in my distress Itriedevery remedy which I thought would bo of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to sick women decided to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I liegan to feel better, after tbe second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size “The Compound continued to bniltl upmj general health and the tumor seemed to be absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a well woman. I am so thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish my letter in newspapers, so other women may know of the wonderful curative PoweiaS of .Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.” When women are troubled with irreg­ular or painful menstruation, weakness, Ieucorrhceat displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feel­ ing, inflammation of the ovaries, back- acbe, flatulence, general debility, indi­ gestion and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. LydiaB Pinkham’s Veg­ etable Compound at once removes such trouble.Ko other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unquali­ fied endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of euros of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine:Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health.

ANU m SU ISSES TH E CASES, Prom the Charlotte Observer: Thegrand jury of the Supeiior Court of this county, said, among other things in iis report, submit­ ted yesterday afternoon: ' ‘•In regard to the'eases which have been continued from the A pril term of court: After lieaiing pos­ itive and conclusive evidence that all the aldermen of the city of Char­ lotte whose terms expired abont May 1st, 1SJ05, : except Aldermeu Iioss and llitch, have violated the laws of !forth Carolina—section.471 of the Revised Code, aud section r>l, Part I., of the amended charter of the City of Charlotte—the grand jury, after considering all the cir- camstauces, by a majority vote dis­ missed the cases, and recommended the discontinnanceof thepractice.” This termination of an" unpleas­ ant matter will .ao doubt meet the approbation of the community and cause the discontinuance of an ille­ gal practice.” We are surprised at the way the. Charlotte Observer treats the abovo cases. Here, a grand j ury actually finds these aldermen guilty of vio- lating.the law of !forth Carolina, try and dismiss the cases. Is it not revolutionary? This grand jury of Mechleiiburg county should be dealt with if there is any law to reach them. The province of a grand jury is to in­ vestigate, and if evidence sufficient they are to return a true Jbill1 and the parties are to be tried in open court befo.re their peers. Here, men are found guilty and the cases dis­ missed by a grand jury in the ab­ sence of judge and solicitor, and the Observer commends the usur­ pation of this grand jury. Democratie Aldermen are guilty of violating the laws of the State. The great common people will one day opeu their eyes to the dangers of longer keeping the Democratic machine iu power in this State. Step by step liberty and justice are being trampled upon. If a Penns ylvatiia grand jury hud made such, a return in Philadelphia onr Dem ociatic lriends would be raising a howl from one end of the country to the other. Mr.Wooten oh the A. & TS. C,. It. 1%.

The reading . public know Mr. Wbpten through his many delight­ ful 'publieatioiis, and he is esteem­ ed highly by a.ll wlio know him for his sterling worth, integrity and his marked talent. This article fiom his pen is a most interesting history of the State 'Mnllst Road.” but the most in­ teresting feature.of the article is that part which he shows coneln sively that the road was making a net earning of abont SSlijOOOa year at the time it was leased for a ren­ tal of culy 853,916 and besides, he says that the net earnings of this road are Increasing1Oach year at the rate of over $28,000. At this rate the road will in a few years be making a net profit of two, three and four times the amount for which it was leased. Sow, the . question arises, why did the State lease the road at such a figure in view of these facts? As Col. Wooten says, uIf the Pnsion- ists had - leaseil it at that rate the Democrat, leaders would- haye said ‘get your red shirts and your guns and drive out the incompetent ras­ cals.” This is a sample of “ Democratic good government.” If the Demo­ cratic machine had leased this road for what it Is worth, had employed fewer needless helpers around the last .legislature, and had not creat­ ed offices, and increased salaries for Democratic officers, they would to­ day have had enough money to, at leest, take care of the insane with­ out locking up white patients iu the same cell w ith’the negro pa­ tients. Isthis h<>t a still greater provocation for red-shirts to again get ther grins?

The above taken from the Kal. eigh Post shows why our Demo­ cratic friends are advertising the Republican dailies so extensively. We hope the Post, as well as oth­ ers, will be disappointed. Democ­ racy has had its way in this' State too longalready for the public good, and every good citize.i should, above all things, desire that which is best for the people. Oue has but to take up the law books aud read the laws passed by the last few legislatures to convince him that Democracy has run mad. Look at the increase of expenses in the. State. Look at the big addi­ tion to the public school fund with, only a small increase in length of term. Look at the consolidation of districts, putting the poor child; reu in the country faitlier away from the school houses, and many- other things which will be talked oi later. If one reads a Democratic paper how-a-days he is led to believe that all is and has been Berene iu the Democratic camp. The two Re­ publican dailies could not well cuss and blackguard each other much worse than the Post and !News and Observer have for the past few years. They represent factions of the Democratic party, and if we are not. much mistaken all is not lovely in the Democratic camp.

While the trouble was at its height, John Hince, a union team­ ster, forced his way through the crowd and coming up to Jones when he was stooping over throwing off some lum­ ber, stnick Jones over the head with an axe, cutting a gash In his scalp three inches long. A second stroke finished him. One other non-union workman was killed. Thanks the President. SL Petersburg, By Cable.—Paris is Russia’s choice as the place for open­ing peace negotiations.

It is with regret, there­fore, that we have to acknowledge a sad lack of interest on the part of the young men in 'this division, as com­ pared with others about us.“The safety of our country depends largely upon our young men, native Americans, with patriotism and pre­ paredness; and recent world-events impress this the more upon us; and we know of no better way to inspire our young men than to have them preserve in memory the unsullied rec­ ord of our veteran fathers. “We therefore earnestly hope to see the division well represented. “By order of “E.

It Is suggested by the President that the ne­ gotiations be conducted “directly and exclusively” Lfitwfiefl the belligerent nations.

The President accordingly urges the Rus­sian and Japanese GoVfirflmeflta not only for their own saklces. but in the interest fif the whole civilized world, to open direct iifigotiations for peace with one another. MORTON TO HEAD EQUITABLE. Retiring Secretary of the Nftvy Elect­ ed on the Board. New York, Special.—Paul Morton, who retires from thfi secretaryship of the navy on July 1st, was elected chair­ man of the board of directors of the EquitablS Life Assurance Society. His election marks the Afst afld most im­ portant step in the re-organizatioll of the society, and was followed by the tender of the icsigBStiens of President James W. Alexander, Vice President James H. Hyde, Second’Vice President Gage E. Tftrbolll Third Vice Piesident George T. Wilsofli and Fourth Vice President William C. McIntyre. Mr. Morton, as explained by Senator Chauncey M. Depew, was the ^ unani­ mous choice of the board of directors of tllS Equitabble, although the meeting was not altogether harmonious. The new chairman, to fiirthfii’ quote Senator Depew, did not consent to take Office until he had received positive assuran­ ces that he would have a “free hand as to measures afld men.”Mr. Hyde “divested" himself of the majority control, but retains a substan­ tial interest in thfi society.All of the resignations submitted to the meeting are subject to the pleas­ ure of Chairman Morton, and none has yet been accepted. Czar Thanks Rojestvensky. St. Petersburg, By Gable—Emperor Nicholas has cabled the following to Rojestvensky: “From my heart I thank you and all the officers of the squadron who have honorably done their duty for your un­ selfish work far Russia and for me. By the will of the Almighty, success was . not destined to crown your endeavors, but your boundless bravery will always be a source of pride to our country.“I wish you speedy recovery. May God console you all.(Signed) “NICHOLAS.” The peculiar wording of the message is attracting attention. The restriction of the Eraperor’s thanks to those hon­ orably doing their duty is fanning ugly talk regarding the surrender of ships and the conduct of some of the crews. The messages of Admiral Enquist and Cactain Chagin of the Russian cruiser Almaz did not contain any intimation of misbehavior on the part of officers or crew. flANI'S HORN BLASTS HE purr,ait ot- ey is painful. t„u J, possession N of1? more so. * te!* It doesn’t tau . to?' ,1Iarge '"Mn t0 hold a good ,!,j, of conceit. 1 It is always safer to say-X11- „> self than to ciod.

C.—The text of a note sent by President ltoosevclt to the Russian and Japanese Govern- nieins was made public at the White House. This note xvas dispatched thro jgh diplomatic eliamieis as the re­ sult of the President’s various confer­ ences with diplomats during the last week and of cable messages inter­ changed with the two Governments concerned. The note is as foliows: “The President feels that the time has come when in the interest of all inankind he must endeavor to see if it is not possible to bring to an end the terrible and Iamentabie conflict now- lieing waged. With both Russia and Japan the United States has Inherited ties of friendship and gocd-will. It hopes for the prosperity and welfare of each, and it feels that the progress of the world is set back by the war between these two great nations. “The President Accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese Governments not only for their own snkes but in the interest of the whole civilized world, to open direct negotiations for peace with one another. “The President suggests that these peace negotiations be conducted di- rectly and exclusively between the belligerents; in other woids, that there be a meeting of Russian and- Japanese plenipotentiaries or delegates without any intermediary, in order to see if it is not possible for these- representatives of the two powers to agree to terms of peace. “The President earnestly asks that the (Japanese) (Russian) Government do now' agree to such meeting, and is now asking the (Russian) (Japanese) Government likewise to agree. IViiile the President does not feel that any Intermediary should be called in in respect to peace negotiations them­ selves, he is entirely willing to do what lie properly can if the two pow­ ers concerned feel that his services will be of aid in arranging the preliminaries as to the time ail'd place of meeting. “But even if these preliminaries can be arranged directly between the two powers, or iu any other way, the Presi­ dent will be glad, as his sole purpose is to bring about a meeting which the whole civilized world wiil pray may result in peace.” Before sending it the President Iiad ascertained that such a note would not be offensive to either Government. Jtfpan TTanie No In terferen ce. AU efforts to learn Japan’s peace terms have been balked by the deter­ mined opposition which Japan lias pre­sented to any such course. At eyory siage of the negotiations she has ab­solutely assumed tiie position that she could not admit the intercession of any other power nor present her peace terms iu any way except directly to Russia. Tlie President’s identical note is framed in accordance with this at­titude of Japan. At the first attempt made bv the President to broach the subject of peace, a difficulty was found in the suspicion with wliieli Japan regarded every attempt made by any other na­ tion than Russia to bring about peace. The President learned that from the very outset of the war Japan had been determined that the peace of 1S0J, when mediation robbed her of the fruits of victory, should not be re­ peated, and she was ready to look askance at even the friendliest offers. Three different cable messages have come from Japan to Minister Takahira in the last three days. In two of them Japan’s attitude on this question was set forward with sufficient clearness to enable the President to frame his note in connection with it. Japan’s final message on the subject was delivered by Minister Takahira after the President’s departure. TIie Minister arrived at the White House in the afternoon with the message from Tokio and Secretary Taft, as acting head of the Government, was at once sent for. He came to the White House, received Mr. Takahira’s message, and communicated with the President by telegraph. It was as a result of that communication that the President au­thorized the publication of the note. BOY KILLS TWO GIRLS. Lad Whom Victim’s Father Had Aided Then Hnds Own Life. Hillsboro, Ohio.—Madge Dines, four­ teen years old, and NelSie Hart, sixteen years old, the former the daughter and the latter the servant of Edward Dines, a farmer, living a mile from here, were killed by David Baldwin, a farmhand, nineteen years old, who then blew off his head by means of a shotgun. Investigation showed that it was thought at first that all three had been murdered by some unknown as­ sailant.The girls were found shot dead Sn their night clothing in their bedroom. There was evidence of a desperate struggle. Baldwin, who had been taken in as a tramp by the farmer, was found iu the living room with a dis­charged shotguu by his side. He had tied a small bottle on the trigger to aid him in discharging the weapon. Bandit Gets Fifty Years.

Disaster Occars Oft PlymouMt, T h ird A crident o f th e 1 K in d . Plymouth, England. — Fourteen offl- cers and men of the British Navy per­ ished under the waters of this historic harbor when submarine boat A-8 , in which they Iiad been sent down to par­ ticipate in some naval maneuvres, ex­ ploded. Only four of those ill tile craft escaped. The saving of one of them adds another heroic deed to the many recorded to the honor of officers of the l-oyal.navy. The loss of submarine A-8 is the third disaster that has happened to these freak vessels in English waters within a year. Eleven fiien were en­ tombed at the bottom of the English Channel in one and six were killed off Queenstown in another.This latest disaster occurred about 10.30 a. in. A-S had been ordered, iu company with a sister boat, A-7, and a torpedo boat destroyer to proceed out­ side the breakwater and practice. Just as she reached the open sea, with only her conning tower above the surface, something went wrong on board. Those on tiie destroyer and naval officers ashore were startled by signals which read: “We are submerged and cannot come to the surface.” !,Iver- Sent For. Iustantly orders were flashed ashore for diving parties audapparatus.-While they were being organized and collect­ ed other signals were made convoying a message that served to allay the im­mediate fears of those on the watcli and at the same time tell of the cour­age and coolness of the men who In a few seconds were to be piunged into eternity. Tliey read: “All right up to the present.” Tlie crew of the destroyer and com­ rades ashore heaved a great sigli of re­ lief. They redoubled the efforts in hurrying to the rescue, but worked with lighter hearts.Suddenly a muffled explosion was heard and ail signs of the submarine vanished. The destroyer on the sur­ face and the A-7, which was following, wcro shaken like leaves. Two other explosions followed ill quick succes­ sion, aud then four men were shot to the surface and above it like rockets. Persons standing on the heights of Hie I-Ioe saw them hurled iu the air and disappear. Fishing boats entering the harbor picked them up. They were Lieutenant ' Candy, Sub-Lieulcnant JIurdock and two of the crew. Tlie four were near the conning tower when the explosion occurred. One of the survivors said he was un­ able to explain the cause of the acci­ dent. Tlie boat suddenly dipped, filled and sank. The man said: “Lieutenant Candy came to my as­sistance when I was almost exhausted and kept me afloat until we were picked up by the trawler.”The bodies of those who were carried tj death iu the wreck lay in the shat­ tered hulk, which was under eighteen fathoms of water. Divers were sent for them. They consisted Cf the reg­ular crew of the A-S and some men who were being trained for submarine work. Cause ot the Accident. The accident, it is believed, was caused by tiie explosion of escaping gasolene. It serves to accentuate the extreme danger in which a submarine crew stands at all times. In cacli of the three disasters to vessels of this type the boat was taking part ill maneuvres to exemplify the mobility and usefulness of the craft in warfare.Tlie A-o, W'liicli was blown up off Queenstown on February 10, was ac­companied by her convoy, the Hazard. An explosion occurred that was heard miles away, sent up. great volumes of water and rocked the Hazard as if by the touching off of a mine. The cock­ pit of the submarine was above water, and a rescuing crew forced their way through the smoke aud gases, to find every one on board cither dead or wounded and only one man able to speak. JVliiie taking cut the bodies a second explosion occurred, wounding several of the rescuers. The total re­ sult of the two explosions was six killed and twelve injured. The submarine A-I was submerged near the Nab Lightship, outside Ports­mouth, and was run down by a South African liner. Nothing was known of her fate for several hours and the steamship’s captain reported that he had run into a torpedo. She was sub­ merged in seven fathoms of water at the time. Tlie crew must have met death slowly by suffocation, with no means of saving themselves. PRINCE LEOPOLD DEAD His Nomination For Spanish Throne Led to Franco-German JVar. Berlin, Germany.—Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, whose nomination for the Spanish throne led to the Franco- German JVar, died here at the resi­ dence of his son, Prince Wilhelm.He came to Berlin to attend the w'ed- ding of the Crown Prince. He was born in 1S35. Cigarette Law’s Flaw. Judge James Leathers, of the Marion County (Ind.)

New York, June 13.—In the recent agitation here about the price of gas,, the demand for lower rates was sup­ ported by the argument that every resi­ dent is as dependent upon a suppiy of gas as upon a supply of good water. It has come to pass that the day la­ borer uses gas as his only fuel for cooking, because of economy, and the rich man uses gas on account of its convenience. Gas for lighting, with modern improvements in burners, is cheaper, better and more satisfactory than any other kind of light. Gas sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet in large cities, and from that to as high as $3.00 in smaller towns. Tlie consumer of gas in the country uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-a- lene), and each user makes his own gas and is independent of Gas and Electric Companies. Acetylene is a more per­ fect illuminant than the gas sold by' the big gas companies in the cities, and the cost to the smallest user Is about the equivalent of city gas at 85 cents per thousand. Acetylene is the modern artificial light, the latest addition to the many inventions that have become daily ne­ cessities. The light from an acetylene flame is soft, steady and brilliant, and in qual­ ity is only rivaled by the sun’s rays. If water and a solid material known as Calcium Carbide are brought into con­ tact, the immediate result is the mak­ ing of this wonderful gas. The genera­ tion of acetylene is so simple that ex­ perience or even apparatus is not neces­ sary to make it. If it is desired to make it for practical lighting, and to keep it for immediate use, then a small machine called an “Acetylene Genera­ tor” is employed. There are many re­ sponsible concerns making acetylene generators. In practice this gas is dis­ tributed In small pipes throughout buildings, grounds or entire cities and towns In the same manner as ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the only satis­ factory means of lighting isolated^ buildings located in the country or suburbs at a distance from city gas or electric plants. Trivial Accident May Cause Death. The vibration caused by a passing elevated train jarring a small sharp- edged mirror from the wall so that it fell across a rubber gas tube may cost the life of Daniel Meschien, who was found dying on the floor of the Iro­ quois hotel in New York, early the other morning. Meschien went to the hotel one night, and next day the chambermaid smelled gas in his room. She summoned help. With an ax the door was broken down and the man found almost asphyxiated. He was carried to the fresh air and an ambu­ lance summoned, which took Meschien to St. Vincent’s hospital: Investiga­ tion showed- -hat the small mirror had been jarred from the wall in such a manner that it severed the rubber tube connecting the gas# jet with a small gas heater. Tree’s Strange Crop. There is a curious sight in the fork ot an umbrella tree on Washington street, between Fourth and Fifth ave­ nues. It is a fine growth of wheat almost ready to come out into head. The stocks are nearly two feet long and the blades broad and healthy looking. It was at first thought that this growth consisted of shoots from the tree, but on closer examination it was found to be wheat. It has no foundation of earth, or if there is any it is so hidden by the growth as to be invisible. The wheat grains in some way found lodgment in the crevices of the bark and have probably had no other earthy bed than that formed by dust which during the dust storms of the summer was blown there.—Ari­ zona Republican. It is the fashion to deride Russia and exhibit to the public every de­ fect in her new penal system and social organization, and yet is is only fair to admit that under an autocracy, which is the abhorrence of all free- born Americans, Russia has done what we could not do, decreed eman­ cipation without a war and abolished capital punishment. FEED YOUNG GIRLS. M ost H ave Hlgrlit Food TVhHe G row ing Great care should be taken at the critical period when the young girl is just merging into womanhood that the diet shall contain all that is upbuilding, aud nothing hartiiful. At that age the structure is being formed and if formed of a healthy, sturdy character, health aud happiness will follow; on the other hand un­ healthy cells may be built in and a sick condition slowly supervene which, if not checked, may ripen into a chronic disease aud cause life-long suffering. A young lady says: “Coffee began to have such an effect on my stomach a few years ago, that I was compelled to quit using it. It brought on headaches, pains in my muscles, and nervousness. “I tried to use tea in its stead, but found its effects even worse than those I suffered from coffee. Then for a long time I drank milk alone at my meals, but it never helped me physically, and at last it palled on me.. A friend came to the rescue with the suggestion that I try Postum Coffee.' “I did so, only Io find at first, that I didn’t fancy it. But I had heard of so many persons who had been benefited by its use that I persevered, and when I had it brewed right found it grateful in flavor and soothing and strengthen­ ing to my stomach. I can find no words to express my feeling of what I owe to Postum Food Coffee! “In every respect it has worked a wonderful improvement — the head­ aches, nervousness, the pains in my side and back, all the distressing symp­ toms yielded to the magic power of Postum. My brain seems also to share in the betterment of my physical con­ dition; it seems keener, more alert and brighter. I am, ■ in short, in better health now than I ever was before, and I am sure I owe it to the use of yonr Postum Food Coffee." Name given by Postum Co.; Battle Creek, Mich. ' There’s a reason. ACCOUNTED FOB THE DOLLAR. Beggar’s Windfall.’ Due to Somewhat Remarkable’Circumstance. Representative i Branch of Morgan county, the “military man” of the house, has had some unusual experi­ ences. The fact that he is a chair­ man of the committee on military af­ fairs very often causes his colleagues to ask him for stories. “It was while attending a military school a good many years'ago that I formed the habit of taking long walks before breakfast,” said Branch to a group of friends. “One morning I happened- to be strolling through the town near which the school was located, when I was ‘touched’ by an old fellow, whose tale of hard luck would have melted a stone. " “But, my good feliow,’ I said, ‘I haven’t a cent with me this morning. I spent my last penny last night, and my check from home won’t reach me until to-morrow.’ “The old man wasn’t satisfied. “ ‘Look through your pockets,’ he begged, ‘maybe you’ll find something.’ “.‘Well, if i’ve got any money in these clothes you can have every cent of it,’ I said to him, and I began turn­ ing my pockets inside out just to show him that I was ‘strapped.’ “Well, would you believe it, a silver dollar dropped out of one of my pock­ ets and rolled on the sidewalk. Delighted, the old man quickly grabbed it up and said, ‘Thanks.’ ‘He was much bigger than I and I said, ‘Certainly; I am glad I can help 'you, but, really I didn’t know it was there.’ “All the way back to school I won­ dered how that dollar came to be in my trousers.” ‘And did you ever find out?” asked another legislator. ‘Oh, yes; when I got back to my room my roommate told me that I was wearing his pants.”—Indianapolis Star.

K aiIw ay R ate leg isla tio n . At the biennial convention of the Order of Railway Conductors, recently IiekI at Portland, Oregon,, resolutions were unanimously adopted voicing Ilieir sentiments as to the effect of pro­ posed railway rate legislation on the 1,300,000 railroad employes, whom they in part represented.. These resolutions “indorse hhe attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebales anil other illegalities, and commend the attitude of the heads of American rail­ ways, who, with practical unanimity, have joined with the Presideni on this question.” They then respectfully point out to Congress the “inadvisabil­ ity of legislation vesting in the hands of a commission power over railway rates, now lower by far in the United States than iu any other country,” be­ cause such regulation would “result in litigation and confusion and inevitably tend to an enforced reduction in rates, irrespective of the question of the abil­ ity of the railroads to stand the reduc­ tion, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials.” They further protested against such power being given to the present Inter­ state Commission because “the pro­ posed legislation is . not in harmony willi our idea of American juris­ prudence, luasmuck as it contemplates that a single body shall have the right to investigate, indict, try, coudemn and then enforce its decisions at the cost of the carriers, pending appeal, which is manifestly inequitable.” The conductors base their demand for only sucli legislation, if any, as would “secure and insure justice aud equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned” on the ground that the low cost of transportation “is the result of the efficiency of Americau railway management and operation which, have built up the country through constant improvement and de­ velopment of territory, while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among em­ ployes in contrast to foreign methods, where high .freight rates and lowest wages to employes obtain.” In pressing their claim against legis­ lation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that “the freight rates of this country average only two per cent, of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country.” .

The New York Sum says: “The foot that 5,501} freight cars were ordered last week by only three railroads gives an idea of what our country can do when it is let alone by strike organizers, rate disturbers, personal profit politi­ cians and the like, Two thousahd of these cars were ordered by the Burlington, besides 500 bqx cars. Fifteen hundred are freight cars for the ,Chicago cb Northwestern, in addition to the 1.500 ordered by the same company in May. The other 1,500 are veutilated cars for the Atlantic Coast Line. It may be noted that in 1901 only thirteen roads, of an aggregated, 'mileage of 521, were sold under foreclosure; -While-in 1S96 no less than fifty- eight roads, of an aggregate mile­ age of 13,720, suffered that fate. This comparison is the more strik­ ing in view of the fact that 30,000 miles of new road have been added since 1806.” The Charlotte Observe adds: “Despite these big .equipment orders andthe tremendous improve­ ments under way on the part of the railroads, they are now unable to handle the’comjnerce of the country as it should be handled. The coun­ try’s development has for some years been ahead of that ot the transportation lines.” Yes, this is a remarkable record, and shows what happens under a Republican administration. 52 4 miles sold last year and 13,720 tin­ der one vear of Grover Cleve­ land, aud yet, our Democratic friends would have the people turn over this government to a set of raiiroad wreckers and .sonp house builders. It will be a long time Imfqre the people will forget that period of starvation prices, with the laboring men tramping the highways, begging for work or bread. Democracy has been weighed in the balanceaiid found wanting, but its champions are still trying to fool the people and lead them back into Egypt. Kot much, will they succeed.

The Mocksville Sunday school was asked to arrange for an exer­ cise at night which H has agreed to do. and the work is now in the. hands of a committee. A supply of song books has been ordered and it is suggested that each school practice before hand a sej.ection .of songs so that when we meet all the .schools can sing to­ gether the same songs.

During the week finding Monday; June IOth1 1905. the weather bii the whole was very favOrhblS {38 agricul­ tural Interests, except that the latter part 6t the week was too cool for the rapid growth of crops. Although some local storms . Sccurtei Uh WUdnhBaay, 7th, wilh hall aqi hljth winds, which damages IiKljB In a few counties, namely Nash, Alamance, Vance, Franklin and Warren, there was a general absence of precipitation dur­ ing the week over most of the State, giving fanners an excellent and much, needed opportunity to cultivate fcrdps and kill grass and Weeds. Ih most Si the northeastern and western counties, Where the rhinlhU has not been exces­sive; the bbil has become rather dry, and upland crops are beginUing to need light rains., ThU Mean tempera­ ture for flue WSek averaged about 74 per cent., or nearly 2 degrees daily above the normal. On the 6th, 6th, and 7th the temperature was quite high, maxima above 90 degreed bUiflg generally recorded; t&iS was the most favorable Jbfiod of the week, during Which crops made rapid growth; the latter portion was, however, cool enough to check growth the tempera­ ture at night falling quite low. There was abundant sunshine everywhere during the week. Thb WbUthir WdS especially IiavOrahib for tent work, Which was pushed Vigorously; farmers have generally succeeded in subduing grass and weeds, and most crops are now clean, well cultivated and in good condition. Harvesting operations and making hay progressed favorably. Material improvement In crops took place during the early portion of the week. Though some fields are still gfassy and' not chopped to stands; tnb lafgir portion of the cottbn crop has been placed Iii a state of excellent cultiva­tion, but the crop is only doing fairly well as regards growth; the plants are mostly late, small, and much not very healthy In color; continuous warmth is needed for best development; Iibb have appeared on eotton in many counties. Com is in good condition in the west, where it is being worked the third time; in many central find eastern counties. Whbrb the stands were injured by worms, the crop has not grown very rapidly, though it is improving; id the southern portion of the State laying by com has com­ menced, with some of it in silk and tassel. Planting com on lowlands is being rapidly advanced. Tobacco is reported to be In good condition, though growing slowly, Cutting Whbat continued through the WSbki add re­ ports generally Indicate a smaller yield than was expected; winter .oats, rye and spring oats are more promis­ ing. Field peas are being planted in most counties. Peanuts look well, but poor stands are reported in some northeastern counties, where the weather has been very dry and rain is needed. Gardens continue to do well. Irish potatoes seem to be yield­ing well In many counties, and good stands of sweet potatoes have general­ly been secured. Melons are poor. A fairly large crop of peaches is prom­ised, but apples have largely fallen from the trees and a poor crop is in­dicated. Rains reported: Goldsboro, trace; Newbem 0.28, Weldon 0.06, Wilming­ ton 0.10, Hatteras 0,20, Nashville 0.86, Greensboro 0.22, Raleigh 0,36, Marion, trace; Settle 0.09. Charlotte, Ashe­ ville and many other points reported no precipitation. Trolley Project. It is learned that F. H. Fries and his associates, will rapidly push the building of the railway from Winston- Salem southward to Wadesboro. There appears to be a very good prospect of the building of a trolley line on the turnpike now under construction between Wilkesboro and Jefferson. There is ample water power conven­iently located. It is said the road can be built for $300,000. The turnpike is not macadamized. It is so well graded that it has cost $22,000 a mile on an av­erage so tar, for construction, and the heaviest grading has been completed. It seems to be a sort of Impression that the Southern, the Norfolk & Western, and the Seaboard Air Line are making a race to get into Southport and it is very certain that more at­ tention has been directed recently Pa the latter place than ever before. North State News. Major .T. H. McIver has resigned hia position as superintendent ef the con­ vict force at work on the Enterprise Lumber Company's road, and left last BTiday to join his family in Greens­ boro.

The official announcement was made by Secretary Loeb. It was as follows: “When the two Governments Were Iliiabld td agree upon either Chefoo or Paris, the President suggested The Hague, but both Governments have now requested that Washington be cho­ sen as tlie place om meeting, and the President has accordingly formally no­ tified both Gdveriipients..that Wrisii- IngtQn will be sd selected:” Thid statement was supplemented shortly afterward by a semi-official an­ nouncement that “after ' meeting and organizing the plenipotentiaries of the two Governments, if it should be found to be uncomfortably hot in Washington, may ndjourn the meeting to some Suhinlei1 tesort iii thd Nortii; find tilei'e Continiie Until such tiind Iis the Weather ill. Washington shall be inpre. Comfortable,:” This is takeii td ineari either NiCWi bort, where most of the foreign diplo­ mats have their summer homes, or Maneliester-by-the-sea, most likely the former. Regarded as Victory For Japs, Diplomatists take, the Viqw thilt tliC selection o f, Wasbingtoii ifl the first diplomatic Victory for. Japaii; as Rnsi siaii influence favored a, European point; while Japan hppbsed ft meeting iti Europe. It will require at least a month for the negotiations of the two Govern­ ments, with their respective staffs, to come together, the distance from Ja­ pan particularly being so great that a shorter time scarcely could be allowed, It therefore seems quite likely that the conference will hot asseliibic fol1= mally before the middle bf August Cf the first Cf September. Prior- td the rmai assembling of the conference it is probable, if prece­dent be followed, that a peace protocol will be negotiated. The making of the protocol will lake place before the dec­ laration of a formal armistice. Fiatit id Be Over TeriUofy, The first thing before the confetencb will be the approximate indemnity to be asked by Japan, and this wiii Jii- volve what territorial concessions she shall demaud from Russia. Besides this, Japan will undoubtedly try to se- cnre from China the exact place which Russia held under lease—namely, Port Arthur. " It is practically anticipated here that there will be a big hitch over the ter­ ritorial prize which -Japan shall de­mand. It is iii the air thilt Japaii will first.insist strongly on Port Arthur and the suzerainty over Manchuria. Fail­ ing in that, Iu whole or in part, Japan will insist on Vladivostok, Japan’s nat­ ural idea being to control the naval sit­ uation as against Russia and prevent her ever again holding China by the throat for territory or franchises. One of the disturbing factors which are clearly foreseen here, is that even England and Germany would not like to see Port Arthur turned over to Japan to strengthen her mightily, in addition to her preseuc navy, plus the ships captured from Russia. May Name KUropatkliJ, Whether the selection of Wasiiington will affect the tentative selection by Russia of M. Nelidoff as one of her en- ' cj’s is not known, though the opinion here is that he will come from Paris. Private advices reaching here from Europe say that Emperor Nicholas has been considering General Kuropatkln as a possible associate for M. Nelidoff, but that nothing is-being said ou the subject in St. Petersburg lest Knro- patkin’s enemies rally against him. CHINESE AT WEST POINT. Special Act of Congress Admits Four Foreigners to Academy. West Point--For the first time in the history of the Military Academy representatives of the Chinese Empire were admitted as cadets in the institu­tion: The two young Chinamen, Ting Chia Chen and Ying Hslng Wen, with LuIs Bagran, of Honduras, and F. To­ mas Plaza, of Ecuador, will receive in­ structions with the class of 145 candi­ dates who were received as cadets. The foreigners are admitted under a Special act of Congress. SECRETARY HAY BACK. His Health Restored—Says His Doc­ tors Are Satisfied. New York City.—Saying that he had had “a bully good time in Europe,” Secretary of State John Hay, who was so ill when he sailed for Naples several months ago that he had to be assisted on board the liner, got - home on the White Star liner Baltic. Mr. Hay looked greatly improved in health, and he said he. had no intention Of resign­ing the State portfolio in President Roosevelt’s Cabinet. Mrs. Hay accom­ panied him. CHINESE REFOSING OBR GOODS. Boycott by Guilds is Spreading-Pa- pejs Decline Advertisements. Tien-Tsin—The boycotting of Ameri­ can goods by the Chinese guilds is daily assuming more serious proportions. The guilds have determiued to carry the boycott through, and the aspect for Americau manufacturers is rather gloomy. The native newspapers are refusing advertisements of American goods. ..'

Indianapolis, Ind. — Cigarette clubs, the object of which is to provide their members with cigarettes by buying them in bulk outside of the Stale, have been formed here and in other cities of the State, and thousands of packages are now coming into Indiana through the mails and by express.

Silver spoons and forks which are In dally use may be kept bright by leaving them, once a week in strong borax water for several hours. The water should be nearly boiling when the silver is put into it. Lime water will sweeten jars and jugs whlcSi soap and water fail to cleanse. It is admirable for cleansing milk vessels and nursing bottles. With boiled salmon, cream sauce, plain boiled rice is very good. Many prefer it to potato.

The short est is the Rue Ble in Paris; this street is only twenty feet long. “The dirtiest street is Tchang-tsi in Nankin. Tho cleanest is the Via Castile in Seville. The most aristo­ cratic is Grosvenor place, London. The most beautiful is the Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris. The narrowest street is Via Sol, Ha­ vana, which has a width of forty-two inches. The ugliest street- is consid- ercd by many foreign artists and architects to be our Broadway, with its skyscrapers.” Teacher Beat School Board.

Feed the Uoinlnle Riglft and tlie sermons Aire BrllUnnt. A conscientious, hard-working and eminently successful clergyman writes: “I am giad to bear testimony to the pleasure and increased measure of efficiency and health that have come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as one of my articles of diet. ■ “For several years I was much dis­ tressed during the early part, of each day by indigestion. My breakfast, usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and eggs, seemed to turn sour and failed to digest. After dinner the headache and other symptoms following the breakfast would wear away, only to re­ turn, however, next morning. “Having beard of Grape-Nuts food, I finally concluded to give it a fair trial. I quit the use of oatmeal and eggs, and made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts, cream, toast aud Postuni. The result was surprising in improved health and total absence of the distress that had, for .so long a time, followed the morn­ ing meal. My digestion became once more satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and tbe old feeling of energy returned. Since that time, fonr years ago, I have always had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast table. “I was delighted to find also, that whereas before I began to use Grape- Nnts food I was qnlte nervous and be­ came easily wearied in the work of preparing sermons and In study, a marked improvement In this respect re­ sulted from the change in my diet. I am convinced that Grape-Nuts food produced this result and helped me to a sturdy condition of mental and physical strength. “I have known several persons who ■were formerly troubled as I was, and who have been helped as I have been, by the use of Grape-Nuts food, on my recommendation, among whom, may. be mentioned the Rev. ——, now a mis­ sionary to China.” Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich, ‘‘There’s h reason." " - •- r Read the little book, “The Road to W e W ia m b £ k « , W H Y E Y E S IG H T B A IL S INifEHldft Artificial LicHf Pbe» QUently the Cause .- illnmitmati 6f tlio Pas’* Oat and All, IfaTe SW idu Defects—Aeetflentf OdsiWltli Its Clear, VnvnTtiInr1 Xat Soft ifliime Ciinndt H nt- the Eyes. • New York, itme -fid.—Nd one caii go into our schools or meet a group Of children on the street without, noticing how large a number of them wear spectacles. Tlie proportion seems to increase yearly, and ihere are many more who ought to wear glasses. The experience of one teacher might be du­ plicated by the score. She knew Alice was inattentive and she thought she was imusuitlly stupid. She said so to the principal' and sent a note td the mother, requesting that the child tie helped at home if siie Wished her to keep Up with her class, Ontf day after il blackboard explanation* the teacher called upon'the child itiid found that she had not seen what had been written. She was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic ques­ tioning Miss C. found that Alice had never been able to see what was put on the board and that her head had ached so often and SO bard that she frequently failed to heai what was said. Such a condition may be caused fay lack of proper food, but in our Ameri­ can homes it is usually due to the poor quality of the artificial light. The yel­ low, insufficient light of the ordinary kerosene lamp, with its smoky chim­ ney, is about as bad for tbe eyes as can be imagined. The flickering light from a coal gas jet is bnt little better, and even the "electric light, brilliant as it usually is, has an unsteadiness due to variations in power, aud a glare peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves of sight. The comparatively new il- luminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found. It gives a clear white; unwavering light, very brilliant, yet perfectly soft, aud so nearly like the rays of the sun that €ven colors ap­ pear as In daylight. Fortunately, acetylene is very easily and cheaply produced, and tbe simple apparatus necessary can be purchased and Installed in any home at a very moderate cost, aud tbe acetylene can be piped to convenient points In the house where a light is needed. It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gas. Acetylene is rapidly coming into common use in homes, churches, schools and institutions of all kinds, and it is reasonable to expect that as its use in thc home increases, there will be fewer defective eyes, particu­ larly among children. Poor eyesight and the many iils resulting therefrom will undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of this new illuminant. SAVORY BUTTER. Savory butter is made by using some desired savory ingredient in fresh butter. You buy either the un­ salted butter or wash from the salt­ ed butter all the salt possible as when you are making some kinds of paste, and then you rub into it with a silver knife or spoon such essence or flavor­ ing as you like. Anchovy essence, Worcestershire sauce, onion juice, chopped Spanish peppsr or parsley, or any one of a hundred things. Then this butter is used for spreading bread for sandwiches or for putting on some kinds of hot meat or fish. PITSpermanently cured. Ko fits ornervous- ness after first day’s use ot Br.

Have uot red-shirt gapgs paraded the eastern half of our State with pistols and Win­ chesters, overawing the people and defying the laws of God and man in order to keep Democrats in of­ fice! Did not all these things en­ courage a disregard for the rights; of t he people and bring\t he law’apd our courts into contempt? Dili not the Democratic legislatures repeal laws and • pass other laws to pre­ vent these men and law breakers from being punished! Then can any one be surprised with such a showing that a reiipicgof alike harvest would follow!

The law should be upheld at all times and under all circumstances. Gov. Glenn can preach against liqnor in the Sunday Schools and denounce the seller and maker of booze, but between speeches he can find time to write letters to the proprir'orof the old JiTick Williams’ liquor establishment telling him that the State should not break its contract with it. Hecanleavehis high office and go to Washington and plead with Mr. Yerkes for an­ other Iiguor seller. Great and con- sisteut is Preacher-Gov. Bob. The Whites. The news is sent out that I he two Whites sent to the penitentiary from Rowan for murder in the sec­ ond degree were allowed to gc to Raleigh without the escort of a sheriff. They went down with their friends and stopped at the best hojtei in. Raleigh. With all their boasted equality the Demo­ cratic officers over the State give all rich men different privileges to what they do poor men. A poor man would have gone to prison un­ der arrest. Bqual rights to all and special privileges to none.—Sforth State. These men, in our opinion, were guilty of cold blooded murder; yet, they got off with a sentence of six years in prison. Not only that, but they are allowed to go to Raleigh and put np at the hotel, as if they were innocent lambs. The poor man would have been escorted t” the pen in irons. Great is Democ racy in enforcement of law and in discriminating between the rich and poor man. TAKK A TRIP WEST. r JSltasuiI 8 cx*sting often l',.6l»t*ithSr . M Parentsare ' Itoeriu i. )r children.

The city resembles a shambles and tbe terrible scenes of the last two days will never be wiped from the memory of the Polish people. The fighting spirit of the people is fully aroused. They have tasted blood and want more. Certainly the revo­ lutionary spirit is abroad and it re­ mains to be seen whether military measures will have the same effect as ■previously. Saturday at Baluty, a suburb of Lodz, four. Cossacks were killed and sixteen others wounded by a bomb which was thrown into the barracks. Twenty of their horses were killed. Occasional volleys are stilled fired by the police or gendarmes in response to shots from houses. The soldiers are showing what ap­ pears to be wanton cruelty. Late in the afternoon they shot and killed two women—a mother and her daughter. The funerals of victims of the shoot­ ing of Thursday and Friday took place surreptitiously in various outlying vil­ lages. It is quite impossible to give the exact number of killed and wounded, as reports vary according to the quarter from which they are obtained. Cer­ tainly the killed number more than a hundred, and tbe wounded five times as many. An official reports says that the number of casualities was largely increased by the neglect of persons to remain indoors, and the others who in­ sisted on looking out of doors and win­dows when the volleys were being fired upon the rioters by the soldiers. Resi­ dents of the city say that they receiv­ ed no orders to remain indoors. Peace Conference Date. St Petersburg, By Cable.—Negotia­ tions for the peace conference have taken an important step forward, a proposition for the date of the meet­ ing of the plenipotentiaries at Wash­ ington having been submitted to Rus­ sia and being now under considera­ tion. The exact date proposed has not been ascertained, but there is reas- son to suppose that it is some time during the first week or ten days of August, which is about the earliest period at which the Japanese repre­ sentatives could be expected to reach .Washington. The Emperor’s answer is not ex­ pected for a day or two, as the-diplo- matic mills of Russia grind slowly, and the Foreign Office, as one of the sec­ retaries put it, “is not used to your hustling American methods;’’ but it is thought that the date will be satisfac­tory, as it will give ample time tor M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador at Paris, or other Russian negotiators, to reach Washington, and there will be little preliminary work for them to do until the Japanese terms aresubmitted. Whether the proposal regarding the date originated at Tokio or at Wash­ington, cannot be learned, but the fact that the negotiations was conducted through Ambassador Meyer may iMi- cate that President Roosevelt has per­ haps again stepped to the fore and suggested to the two powers, neither of whom are willing to take the initia­tive, a suitable date. • Passenger Wreck in Colorado, Denver, Special.—Westbound passen­ ger train on the Denver and Rid Grande railroad was wrecked at Pinto a small station, sixty miles west of Grami Junction, Col.

LOCAL COTTON WAREHOUSES Farmers and Business Men Will Erect Building of 2,000 Bales Capacity— Corporation to be Largely Mutual. Maxton, Special.—The farmers and business men of Maxton and the sur­ rounding country held ft meeting here Wednesday to consider the building of a bonded cotton warehouse. A good number of men representing large farming interests were present, and the unanimity of their action showed that they meant business. It was de­ cided to build a warehouse with a ca­ pacity of 2.000 bales for the coming season. A committee consisting of President Evans, of the Bank of Max­ton, and Messrs. J. K. McGirt, P, H. McArthur, I* W. McKinnon, A. McL. McRae and J. A. McLean were appoint­ ed to solicit subscriptions for the com­ pany. A second committee composed of Messrs. A. J. McKinnon. H. W. Mc- Natt and A, H. Currie was also ap­ pointed to select a site and contract for the building of the warehouse. The purpose of those interested in the movement is to make the corpora­ tion as much as possible a mutual company, owned and controlled by the farmers. Several precautions were taken to secure this. The stock will be divided into shares of $10 each, and no one will be allowed to hold more than fifty shares. The soliciting committee was instructed to begin this work by making a thorough canvas of the farmers, and afterwards, if more subscriptions were needed, to so­licit them from the business men of the town. The building of this warehouse .means a great deal for the farmers and merchants of this section. It means that tbe farmer can hold his cotton for any length of time without danger of damage by weather Or fire and at the same time be able to collect a reas­ onable amount of its value in cash. The keeper of the warehouse will be bonded, of course, and his certificate that cotton has been deposited will be accepted as collateral by the banks. The farmers will thus be able to hold their cotton and will not bs compelled to sacrifice it to pay for fertilizer bills in October. The safety against weather' fire and theft will be an important item. Gin fires have caused considera­ ble loss this year and many farmers were compelled to sell cotton damaged by exposure. In some cases cotton was sold for. no Other reason than that the farmer had no safe place to store it. Insurants Business.

A cancer cannot be c-nred-by treating the symptoms,” In many respects Mr. Hendricks’ re­ port is a more severe arraignment of the society than that made by the Frick committee. Practically every. ■'nbi.ise that the Frick committee found existent Air. Hendricks finds, and, fur­ thermore, the insurance Department has delved into the question of teal estate leases and repairs, and shows that a shoekiug condition of favorit­ ism and petty graft has existed in this department for years. Thomas F. Ryan’s pnrehase of the society by acquiring the majority stock holdings of James H, Hyde and the other devices of the new owner of the company, to assure its partial mutualization by the Selection of di­rectors by the distinguished Voting trustees, former President Cleveland, Judge Morgaii J, O’Brien and George IVestiiighoiise, is faintly praised by Mr. Hendricks. ’"I do not question,’* says the Super­ intendent of Insuraiice toward the close , of his report and after briefly advert- j iug to the purchase of tlie company by ! new interests and the plans for partial j mutualizing the company—'11I do hot I qusstiou but what this is the honest ' intention of those who have acquired the control of the society1”—to so man­age it that certain reforms will inure to the benefit of the policy holders, “I do not think, however, that they Avill go far toward restoring the confidence of the present policy holders or aid In procuring new business for the so­ciety,” Mr. Ryan1S expenditure of §2,500,000 for Mr. Hyde's §52,000 worth of stock is not likely to prove a very profitable investment if Air. Hendricks’ views are carried out. IVithout specifically mentioning Air. Ryau’s recent acquisi­ tion of, the company's control, Air. Hendricks has this to say of stock ownership: “In my opinion the only thing which will restore confidence and benefit the company will be tlie elimination of the stock control, a Ti Tl, what I deem of equal importance, the elimination of Wall Street control. * * * Complete mutualization, with the elimination of the stock to be paid for at a price only commensurate with its dividends, Is, in my opinion, the only sure meas­ure of relief.”President Roosevelt, in a remark­ able letter issued in defense of Pan! Morton's business career, expressrs confidence that he will be able to bring order out of chaos in the affairs of the Equitable Society, and, further­ more. declares that in his Judgment thorough Insurance reforms can only be mode effective through federal su­pervision of these companies. In this conclusion the President is joined by John A. McCall, president of the New Tork Life Insurance Company: Sen­ ator John F. Dryden,. of New Jersey, president of the Prudential IJfe In­surance Company, of Newark, and other leading life underwriters throughout the country. Air. Hendricks finds: 'That; all who took part In the deals of the “Janies H. Hyde and associates'’ Sj udicafe should be compelled- to pay back the sums received by them.TIiat the leases between the soeieiy and its subsidiary companies “are all one-sided, unfair and unjust to the society.” That James H. Hyde’s authority con­tinued to increase, and he proceeded to use the society and Its assets more and more, as if they were his own. un­ til he was checked by the demand for mutualization and his retirement. That .Tames AV. Alexander was cog­nizant of and approved the various subsidiary undertakings criticised, and hy reason thereof has failed to meet the obligations imposed upon him as chief officer of the society, and-it Is an open question whether he is not dis­ qualified under section 36 of the In­ surance law from hereafter holding any office in a life insurance company, as well as all the others officers and di­ rectors who participated in these un­ lawful transactions.That the report, with a copy of the evidence taken on this investigation, will be transmitted to the Attorney General for such action thereon as lie may deem proper. \ .........

SSii Francisco, Cal.-After bolding one thousand persons at bay for twd hours in Eddy street, shooting nine men ttnd defying the police, Thomas Lobb, a maniac, killed himself. The wounded are: AV. S.

Seven shots passed through his helmet. All the victims were hit with No. 4 shot, except the Chinese,' who received :l rifle ball. The insane man was barricaded itt his room oil the fourth floor of the United States Hotel, No. 123 Eddy street,. Lobb went to the hotel at night. The next morning, he began throwing furniture from the window, tij the street. Several persons nay. i’owly escaped being struck. He then began firing, using a shotgun. He placed §50 and §100 bills in the muzzle of the weapon and fragments of the paper were scattered over the street. A big crowd quickly gathered. Street-car traflic Was entirely suspended after one car had been fired upon and its windows broken. Police Lieutenant Green rushed a Sqiiad of police to the scene, among the oflicel-s being live members of the crack rifle team of the department. They were iuiabie to accomplish any. thing, ,-is tlie maniac was strongly intrenched in his room and appeared to have an unlimited amount of am­munition. It was determined that Lobb must bo captured dead or .aiive, and all the roams afljoihiug the one he occupied were-filled with armed pol’cemen. A lively fusillade was begun through the ‘ door, transom and walls of the mad­man’s stronghold, to which he respond­ ed with remarkable rapidity. The plas­ ter was scattered from the ceiling and walls, and the police were Soon cov­ ered with the white flakes and nearly blinded by the lime. Officer Kassane attempted to -peer through the tran­ som, when he received a charge of shot which disfigured his face and, completely riddled his helmet. Then Officer Hutcliius descended from tbe roof to the room window, while the other policemen made an. attempt to force in the door. AVhen Hutchins saw the maniac’s attention was diverted he gave a prearranged signal by firing his revolver. Heaving the report from an unexpected quarter the murderous lunatic rushed to the window, which, was open, and literally blew off the top of his own head-. The brains and frag­ments of skull flew through the air into the street, to the horror of thou­ sands of spectators who had assembled ip tlie neighborhood, which is near the heart of the city.Thomas Lobb was twenty-eight years old. He apparently was an English­ man and a stranger here. In his pock­et was a card bearing the address of the British Consul-General, and a re­ceipt for baggage, showing that he was a recent arrival in San B'rnncisco.

Loo­ mis, Assitant Secretary of State, sailed for France as special Ambassador of the United States to participate in the ceremonies attending the delivery Of Johu Paul Jones’ body by France to this country. Mr. Loomis’ selection for such a post at a time when lie lias been officially reprimanded for using his position as a diplomat to advance his personal for­tunes in a business way has astonished the few persons to whom it is known. Still more surprising to them, however, is the secrecy with which Mr. Loomis’ appointment has been invested. Mrs. Rogers Reprieved. Airs.

In Boston, Slass., labor unions have a membership of over 62,000. AVages in Porto Rico have increased threefold since the Spanish days. In Hungary there are 41,138 trade nnion members, of whom 1823 are women. Boston (SIass.) Typographical Union is considering a plan to pension old members. The loss of members in the Brick­ layers’ Union of England is said to have been ’2000 in the course of a year past. f P i t Ii The first Patriotic song . BV HBlEX BEOWX1 The Puritans of England held music in no very high esteem. They held In abhorrence “piping with Organst singing, ringing and trowling of psalms from one side of the choir to the other,” as complained of in their protest to Parliament. In fact, their fanaticism bred so much hatred for such things that they came to look- upon music as positively unchristian. So the Pil­ grims brought to America with them the style of music that prevailed when they left the mother country, which goes without saying that it was not of the most inspiring, cheering kind. The generation preceding the Revolu­ tion is referred to as the “Psaim-sing- ing generation.” The Colonies were absorbed with the task of revising and republishing .the Psalms. In 1713 an organ was introduced into Boston, but the prejudice was so great that the instrument remained unpacked In the porch of the church for seven months. Up to this time there had been no native compositions, but a little later on the first compositions were the work of one AVilliam Billings, a tanner by trade. As Psalm-singing still prevailed his first production was the “New Eng­ land Psalm Singer,” which -was fol­ lowed by “Singing Master’s Assistant” and “Music in Miniature.” His later works were of a patriotic order and it is due to this fact that they became so popular. His “Lamentations Over Boston” breathed tbe spirit of the Revolution, as also did his “Retros­ pect,” “Independence” and “Columbia.” THE FIRST FLAGS. In July, 1775, on Prospect Hill, Gen­ eral Israel Putnam raised a flag upon which jvas inscribed the motto of Con­ necticut, “Qui transtulit sustinet,” and on the reverse were written tbe words “An Appeal to Heaven.” In October, 1775, the floating batteries of Boston carried a flag with the motto “An Ap­ peal to Heaven,” the design being a pine tree on a white field-. Virghiia carried a flag in 1775 which displayed a rattlesnake coiled as if about to strike, and the motto. “Don’t tread on me.” AVhen General AVashington as­ sumed command of the motley army gathered before Boston in January, 1770, the flag raised at his headquarters had the thirteen red and white stripes just as they are to this day, but the union was formed of the crosses of St. George and- St. Andrew displayed on a blue ground. It is said that when the British regulars saw it they sup­ posed it -was an evidence of submis­ sion to the King,, who had just issued his proclamation. THE DECLARATION COMMITTEE. Although the American colonies had been at war with England over a year, it was not till July 4, 1776, that a ma­ jority of the Continental Congress, rep­ resenting the colonies, voted for final separation from the mother country. July 4, on the motion of Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, the Congress voted that “the United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and indepen­ dent States.” A committee consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben­ jamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston was appointed to draw up a declaration of indepen­ dence, which was afterward signed by fifty-six delegates representing thirteen States. STIRRING SCENES. At 2 o’clock on the afternoon of July 4, 1776, stirring scenes were enacted In Philadelphia; In answer to the signal of “Ring!” given by the lad stationed below for that purpose, the old bell­ man rang out a wonderful peal, while the whole city shouted for joy. The King’s arms were taken down from the Court House, the city was illumin­ ated, bonfires were lighted and rejoic­ ing continued far into the night. In New York a leaden figure of George III. was pulled from its pedestal on Bowling Green and moulded into bull­ ets. 8 HELPING GRANDPA CELEBRATE. - To Honor Patriots and Pioneers.

TRICK O f THE JEWELERS, nDIamond Tree” a Paying Institution in Some Establishments. “I haven't a diamond tree,” said the Jeweler. “Smith, over the way there, has one, though. At least, so I’ve been told.” “What is' a diamond tree?” "It' is a tree where diamonds grow, of course.” “No. Seriously. What is it?” _ The jeweler smiled. “Weil,” he said, "a diamond tree is a swindle, a Very profitable Swindle, and one that can be Carried on for­ ever with mighty little risk of. de­ tection. I’ll explain it to you.' “I am a jeweler and you bring, me a diamond ring for repairs; I take the diamond out of your ring and I put back In its place a similar dia­ mond that is a little, a very little; smaller.. You, naturally, don’t dis­ cover the trick that has been played ox you. “The same day a brooch is brought to me and since the central Stime of the brooch is a little larger than your diamond, I get rid of yours and keep the bigger gem. In this way, four or five times in one day, I make diamond exchanges, keeping always a better stone than I part with. . “On good diamond trees, diamonds as small as pin heads have been known to grow to the size of peas in two days. A good tree, too, won’t have only one diamond growing on it at a time. A dozen stones or more will be simultaneously increasing in Size and value as the days pass.” U But Etiquette Hardly Applied. A. H. Hummel, the well known law­ yer of New York, was talking, be­ tween the acts of a drama, about the leading woman. "Though her salary is large,” said Mr. Hummel, "she is always hard up, always in debt, they say. “The other day I heard a story about her. A female bill collector called on her to try to get her to set­ tle a bill for a sable coat. " ‘I am sorry,’ she said to the col­ lector, ‘but I can’t settle this bill at present/ " 4Very well, madame. When shall I call again?’ the collector asked. " ‘Well,’ said the actress, ‘it would hardly be etiquette for you to call again until I have returned the pres ent call.*” Breaking. Eggs for a Living. A correspondent of a contemporary, Who has been searching for the most monotonous method of earning a liv­ ing,, decides In favor of that of crack­ ing eggs. "I met a man .who said he was. a biscuit manufacturer on a large scale, and was rather inclined to boast about the number of eggs which his firm bought in the course of a year. Now, it seems that to avoid calamity five eggs are broken into a bowl at a time before being added to the common stock. There are men, he told me, who do nothing but crack eggs. They become so expert that a man can dispose of a thousand an hour, or ten thousand a day.” fJT!>;e O ldest N nrse In G eorgia, Mrs. S.

It is a well-known fact that even the best of housekeepers cannot make really good coffee without having the proper ma­terials.They will nbvjsr make it with coffee of doubtful origin, adulterated, queerly blended, and possibly dirty coffee that has, perhaps, been mixed up with all kinds of other -things on the counter.But let them take a package of Lios Coffee —the purest and cleanest—and the brand universally used.throughout the Uni­ted States for over twenty-five years. Mill­ions drink it daily, and get tlie best re­sults if it is made in the following way:Try it once and you will never want Io try any other brand of coffee. IIOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE. Use Lion Coffee , because to get best results you must use the best coffee.Grind you Lion Coffee rather fine. Use a "tablespoonful to each cup, and one extra for the pot.” First mix it with a little cold water, enough to make a thick paste, and add white of an egg (if egg is to be used as a settler), then follow one of the following rules:1st —With boiliug water — Add boiling water, and let it boil three minutes only. Add a little cold water and set aside five* minutes to settle. Serve promptly.. 2d—With- cold water—Add your cold water to the paste and 'bring it to a boil. Then set aside, add u little cold water, ancf in live minutes it’s ready to serve. TlIB EE DON’TS. Don’t boil it too long.vDon’t let it stand more than ten min-. utes before serving.Don’t use water that has been boiled be­fore. TAVO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE. 1st—With eggs—Use part of the white of an egg, mixing it with the ground. LiON Coffee before boiling.2d—With cold water instead of eggs. After boiling add a dash of cold water and set aside for eight or ten minutes, then, serve through a strainer.
