(Raleigh Post.) In Ihe culmination of ,the peace conference at Portsiiiouth yesterday President Roosevelt is entitled to the congratulations of the' people of the peace-loving Iiations-Of the world. The skeptics have passed their sharpest of ridicule, but to­ day the white flag of peace proud­ ly floats to the breeze, and to the Pr esident of the United States,more than to any other man in the world belongs the credit for saving per­ haps hundreds of thousands of hu­ man .lives. He saw the opportu­ nity, and was sensible euongh and bold enough to grasp it and push it to a successful issue. President R-'osevelt stands today not- only the honored chief execu­ tive of the greatest nat ion on ear.th; lint as the most distinguished in­ ternational character in .the world. In (Hseoniiection vve mention agaiu that he will visit Raleigh the 19th of October, Thursday of State fair week. It is not in any sense hero worship that prompts us to say that every man in the State who can do so Kliould come to Raleigh that day to see him, lmt because we believe in paying all deserved honor to our highest official, the man who is today first- in the-eyes of all the nations of the world. 't- TKftHS OF PEACB ARRANGED. The Charlotte Observer. The war in come to an end. The terms of peace were agreed upon at Portsmouth yesterday by the envoys represent­ ing IapanandRnssia. Russiacedes half oi the island of Sakaliu to Ja­ pan and pays no indemnity. There arc the two prominent facts in the case—the balance is detail. The result is a triumph for Eussiau tc n.-iciiy and deplomacy. Beaten in war, the Muscovite Iias largeljr-re­ trieved tlr; fortunes lost in the lield auil on the sea by the clear victory won in the arena of fliplpmacy.— The Japanese envojrs would not of themselves have made the bargain which ends the war. Their course was mapped out at Tokio by the Emperor, the cabinet and the elder statesmen, aud the envoys had but to follow it. The world, however, is concerned not with the details, but the main fact—Uie tact that there is to be peace. Aud however reluctaiiHyj.eyery.candidr.viiid.nivtst admit that for this the chief credit is due to President Roosevelt. It- was he who promoted the peace conference and he who held the en­ voys together when, several times, further negotiations seemed use­ less. It was his instance that, on these occasiouo. secured further conference, he keeping in commu­ nication all the while with Tokio and St. Petersburg, aud these fur­ ther conferences have eventuated in peace, which at. times appeared impossible. Not Japan aud-Rus­ sia .alone, but the World, is the debtor of the President of the United States, and th e‘people of the country, without regard to par­ ty, may well feel pride in the glory with which he has crowned his name. are discounted and all his foibles and errors of judgment reckoned with, a great and many sided man, and now, when all the world ac claims him, every American citi­ zen may well-lend his voice to the universal applause. What nicer, or better could be said of our President! He was the boggey man. with the big stick in the last campaign. Our Democratic friends tried to frighten the women and children and create a stampede to Parker; lmt not even the 5-year olds could be frightened, and today Southern “statesmen’’are confound, ed by the greatness of the Chief Execiiti ve of our common country, while the rest of the world lifts its hat in admiration, and places upon his brow the olive wreath. Great man--good man; the greatest peace­ maker of the 20th century. If the South bad statesmen who measured up to the standard of be fore the war, and who could lay aside sectional hatred aud little partizan spite, we, today, would be able to properly appreciate the greatness and glory of our common country, and vexing questions and problems, which have retarded aud kept us in the rear for the past 40 years would vauish like the morn­ ing vapor. It is not yet too late for us to turn about fac’, for with a man like Theodore Eoosevelt as our Chief Executive, who has come to the rescue of Russia and Japan, upon him we can depend, if onr people will only meet him half-way and recognize the fact that he is Presi­ dent of a re united country, whose future welfare rests in -the hands of all Uie people, regardless of sec­ tions,— one and indivisible. % iu tkfl!"(Win I • ,'U'! -WOVlU.'ifcr oi, h hAvs d-'iiiger of Sloppini IlBriIsich ocCasious as this.— tWtte Observer. ^oiitgct scared too soon Bro. . e cutira civilized world f c tbc Kreatpartplayed by lit, .f nt °f this great Repub- lKiie. fe!’tbe Hemocratic press has : {i.n,OI”e sloPpiug; bntdou’t you soP the other way after °"i^ kittcTo^the^Presideut. *51 I l alisin; gout, backache. lKitthle A ilre results of kidney 'ifIiiTeI rloIlister1S Rocky Moun- ^ rtiioes directly to the seat- $ fails?.- aud cnreS w.kep all r iStore CeidS Ut RnxrnrilsH THE PRESIDENT.

Portsmouth, N. H., SpeclaL-The long and bloody war between Japan and Russia is ended. The terms of peace were settled by Mr. Witte and Baron Komura at the session of the conference Tuesday morning and Tues­ day afternoon preliminary arrange­ ments for an armistice were concluded and the actual work of framing the "Treaty of Portsmouth” was by mu­ tual agreement turned over to Mr. D. Martens, Russia’s great international lawyer, and Mr. Dennison, who for 25 years has acted as the legal .adviser of the Japanese Foreign Office. The treaty is expected to be com­ pleted by the end of the week. This happy conclusion of the con­ ference, which a week ago, would have been shipwrecked had it not been for the heroic intercession of President Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic. For the sake of peace, Japan, with the magnanimity of a victor, at the last moment yielded everything still in is­ sue. Russia refused to budge from the ultimatum of the Czar, given to Pres­ ident Roosevelt through Ambassador Meyer. No indemnity under any guise, but an agreement to divide Sak­ halin and reimburse Japan for the maintenance of the Russian prisoners, were his last words. They had been repeatedly reiterated in Mr. Witte’s instructions, and in the form of a written reply to the Japanese com­ promise proposals of last Wednesday they were delivered to Baron Komura Ibis morning. TOTAL SURPRISE TO WITTE. Mr. Witte went to the conference de­ claring he was powerless to change the dot of an "i” or the cross of a "t” in his instructions. Czar Nicholas’ word had been given not only to him but to President Roosevelt, the head of a for­ eign state. When Baron Kornura, therefore first offerer the new basis of compromise, outlined in the dispatches (the complete renunci­ ation of indemnity, coupled with a proposition for the redemption of Sak­ halin at a price to be fixed by a mixed tribunal consisting of representatives of the neutral power—in fact, if not in words, the solution offered by Presi­ dent Roosevelt) Mr. Witte again re­ turned a non possumus. It was what Mr. Witte termed in an interview with the press the “pyscological moment.” Mr. Witte did not flinch. He expected a rupture and as he expressed it after­ ward he was stunned by what happen­ ed. Baron Komura gave way on all the disputed points. With the pre­ science that has enabled the Japanese to gauge the mental processes oftbeir adversaries on the field of battle and unon the sea, they had realized in ad­ vance that peace could be obtained in no other way. They had their govern­ ment President Roosevelt had also, it is said, advised Japan that it was better to meet the Russian positions than to take the responsibility of con­ tinuing the war for the purpose of col­ lecting tribute. The Mikado, at the session of the cabinet and elder states­ men yesterday, had sanctioned the fi­ nal concession. When Baron Komura yielded, the rest was mere child’s Play. and the limitation of Russia’s sea pow­ er in the far East) were withdrawn* Japan agreed that only that portion of the Chinese Eastern Railroad south of Chantufu, the position occupied by Oyama, should be ceded to Japan. Both sides, once the deadlock was broken, wanted a "just and lasting” peace, and In that spirit it was decided to practically neutralize Sakhalin, each country binding itself not to fortify its half of the island, and Japan as­ suming an obligation not to fortify the La Perouse strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido, which would bar Rus­ sia's commercial route to the Pacific. The plenipotentiaries went father. They decided to add a new clause in the nature of a broad provision for mutual commercial privileges by which each country will secure for the other the benefit of the “most favored na­ tion clause,” and the “open door.” LOOKS RATHER LIKE ALLIANCE. The new treaty therefore will be a wonderfully friendly document, of character almost to raise the suspicion •that the two countries have not nego­ tiated peace liut have concluded the basis of a future alliance. There is, however, no evidence as rumored that any secret clauses are to be appended to the present treaty. Before leaving the conference build­ ing, felicitations were exchanged with the President at Oyster Bay. Both Baron Komura and Mr. Witte tele­ graphed. The former confined himself to apprising Mr. Roosevelt of the con­ditions upon which peace had been concluded. Mr. Witte frankly laid his tribute at the President’s feet. In his message he said: “History will ascribe to you the glo­ ry,” and added the expression of Rus­ sia’s hearty appreciation of the Presi­ dent’s “generous initiative.” Mr. Roosevelt replied with words of thanks and congratulation.RUSSIANS DAZED WITH JOY. Then began the jubilation. Mr. Witte and Baron de Rosen returned to the hotel for luncheon. The Japanese had remained at the conference hail to lunch with Mr. Pierce. The news that peace had been concluded had preceded the Russian plenipotentiaries, and such scenes of wild rejoicing have never be­ fore been witnessed in the State of New Hampshire as greeted them upon their arrival at the hotel. Mr. Witte, dazed at the sudden and happy termi­ nation of the conference, was fairly overpowered by the tremendous ova­ tion he received. He could only express his gratitude by shaking the hands of everybody, and in response to the vol­ ley of questions fired at him as to the terms murmur, “We pay not a kopeck and we get half of Sakalin.” Later in his room, when he had par­ tially recovered himself, he declared that he could not have dreamed of such a victory—for that he regards it as a diplomatic triumph of the first magni­ tude. he makes no attempt to conceal; And that is the general verdict here to­ night. The Russians are overjoyed at the result “We have had our Liao Yangs and Mukdens,” they say, “and our Tsus- himas on sea, but the Japanese have had their Portsmouth.” JAPS BLUNDERED AT START. Although Mr. Witte is not a diplo­ matist, they declare that he has out- manoeuvered the Japanese, yielding one by one to the conditions until he forced them into a corner on the main issue of indemnity and left them no escape, except surrender or to con­vert the war into a war to collect tri­ bute. The Russians declared that dip­ lomatically the Japanese made their colossal blunder when they agreed to consider the conditions seriatim. The Japanese correspondents, though they said little, plainly showed their dissatisfaction with the terms during the afternoon. They stood aloof, silent in the midst of the general jubi­ lation, for as the afternoon advanced the air was filled with the sounds of rejoicing. Bells were Tinging in Ports­ mouth and Newcastle and the vessels in the harbor were adding to the din with their sirens and hells. One of the Japanese, however, gave the true note when he remarked: IF MIKADO APPROVES, GOOD. “Tell me that the Mikado has ap­ proved it and I shall be satisfied.” In that sentence was compressed the Spartan heroism of the Japanese nation, and later when Mr. Sato issued the official explanation of the reasons that moved the Japanese plenipoten­ tiaries and it showed that the Emper­ or had approved, there was a percep­ tible change in the feelings of the Jap­ anese. Considerable disappointment, however, continued to. be manifested. Baron Komura following the rule he has set himself, declined to make any statement, and Mr. Takahira would only say when asked to make a state­ ment: “For the sake of humanity and civ­ ilization, and as we believe, in the in­ terest of both countries and the world, we have made peace.” A scene of the greatest excitement followed the receipt of the news In the lobby of the Hotel Wentworth. The official bulletin telephoned from fie conference room at the navy yard by Mr. Sato and like an electric thrill flooded through the room. There were screams of joy. Men threw their hats aloft, women actually wept. Then there was a rush for the telegraph offices and in an instant the news was speeding to the remotest corners of the earth. JAP CORRESPONDENTS GLOOMY. "We did not believe it this morning,” said Mr. Fukotomi, correspondent for The Osaki Asahi, as he walked away sinking his head. Japan expected a great deal more than this. Division of Sakhalin was not to be thought of. It was ours by the blood of our soldiers and we should have kept it. Russia brought on this war; she should have paid for it.” He was interrupted by another cor­ respondent. But the Emperor has or­ dered it.”"Yes," said another, “it is the Em­ peror’s word.”The attitude of the group at the mention of the Emperor’s name im­ mediately changed. “Yes,” assented one, “the Emperor has spoken and Japan will obey. The Emperor is all-wise and Japan is satis­ fied.” The incident was a striking illustra­tion of that wonderful devotion of the Japanese ’for their sovereign and of the implicit confidence they place in his every action. Both Countries May Borrow. • New York, Special.—Well-informed banking interests are of the opinion that the treaty of peace between Rus­ sia and Japan will soon be followed by a Russian loan and with another later by Japan. The extent of the loans will depend largely upon the provisions of the agreement between the two coun­ tries. Bankers believe that Russia will make liberal compensation to Japan, although this may be provided for In a separate understanding. It is known that Russia has made all preparations for placing part of a loan here, and it is well understood that Japan contem­ plates raising more money to pay in­ ternal obligations. To Draft Treaty Promptly, Portsmouth, N. H., Special.—The of­ ficial account of Monday afternoon’s meeting was given by Mr. Sato on his arrival at the hotel. It is as follows: "In the afternoon session of August i, the conference has discussed the de­ tails of the treaty of peace.

Berlin, By Cable.—Dr. Nocht, harbor physician at Hamburg, in reply to in­ quiries made by the press concerning cholera, telegraphs as follows: “The transhipment of Russian emi­ grants having been, suspended at Ham­ burg, further cholera infection is im­ probable. “The room companion of the first case has a light attack, but otherwise all the emigrants are healthy. “Three emigrants due to sail last Thursday on the steamer Moltke, (for Nev/ York,) were landed and since then have been under medical obser­ vation. AU are healthy. The drink­ ing water and the sanitary arrange­ ments here are faultless, and conse­ quently an epidemic is unlikely. “Single Instance, naturally, in spite of the greatest care, cannot always be prevented, but no danger exists for sea traffic. I am convinced that all the means for opposing the cholera are in use. We are going to meet the future with tranquility and .we hold that Americans have no grounds for dis­ quietude. “NOCHT.” The opinion is expressed in Berlin that the United States seaboard has more to fear from emigrants shipping at Trieste than from German ports as cholera is already in Austria Po­ land. The record stands at 51 cholera cases and 19 deaths, a steady increase and a high percentage of mortality. The most uneasy news for America is that a second case exists at Hamburg. It was officially reported that a laborer in St. George’s Hospital where the Rus­ sian emigrant died, has cholera, but it is added that the seizure is of a milder form than the previous ones. Two of the other fresh cases are in east Prus­ sia, indicating that the infected area has widened. The imperial health office, as shown by the statement made, is confident that it has the disease in hand. The most recently reported vic­ tims are among the Russian rivermen in quarantine. Professor Adolph Kafa, Prof. Koch’s successor as head of the Institute of Infectious Diseases, has gone to the infected district to direct the measures to confinet the disease. • The Institute! of Infectious Diseases will be open all night examining secre­ tions taken from the digestive tubes of persons who have died under cir­ cumstances suggesting cholera. From time to time couriers arrive from some port of Germany with portions of bodies done up hermetically. The Minister of the Interior has is­ sued an order covering all Prussia, re­ quiring physicians immediately after the death of any suspected patient to send a messenger with sections of the almentary canal to the Institute of Infectious Diseases for through exami­ nation.

A., the quartermaster in charge of this departmenh City Coun­ cilman E. T. Dunn is also on the list Of the deaths, one occurred at the emregency hospital. The country situation is improving somewhat, though the discovery of new foci causes some little anxiety.

Father. Widman, the Jesuit priest went there Sunday and met the citizens and a number of leading Ital­ ians and proposes to make a perrsonal canvass of the town, to talk to every Italian, and convince him of. the good intentions of thfi' health authorities. A heavy downpour of rain prevented the mass-meeting, which it was pro­ posed to hold here today. Today- nearly all of the dirt carts were used in the work of salting the gutters. It has been found that since the mosquietos have been deprived of their favorite breeding places, the stagnant gutters on cross streets are filled with wiggle-tails, so special ef­ forts are being made to render these unsuitable. Over a thousand tons of salt have been used so far and the work will continue. There is much interest in the case of Dr. Philip Berge, the physician who was arrested late Sunday night on the charge of failing to report three cases of yellow fever. He was Itiroled by the inspector, but will have to answer to the charge • Monday morn­ ing before the second recorder. He says that he reported the cases by mail, but the Marine Hospital Service has no record of them. There has been a recrudescence at Tallulah, in Madison parish, not far from Vicksburg, three cases.having been diagnosed by. Dr. Krauss, of the Marine Hospital Service.

An effort is to be made, during the coming autumn, it is learned from Mr. Streeter, of the Children’s Home So­ciety of North Carolina, to effect the organization of a State conference of charities. Of course it is understood that the call for this will emanate' from the State hoard of charities, which will manifest interest in the work. It is thought that during the State fair will be a good time for holding such a conference. Mr. Street­ er seems to be very confident that the next Legislature will create for North Carolina what is known as the juvenile court system and with it the probation system. What he has done with his work so far has very clearly shown the value of the probation sys­ tem. He has received 105 children since his society was organized, not quite two years ago, and all of these have been placed in homes or in insti­ tutions which will probably train them.

Balawln ATcets Wltli Rorribls Reatli While Giving a Demon­ stration at GreenviUey O* Greenville, Ohio—John E. Baldwin, an airship navigator, was blown to atoms here while lot feet in the air by the explosion of six sticks of dy­ namite. His wife and two children were among the 25.000 spectators who witnessed his death. Baldwin had been giving daily ex­ hibitions at the county fair here. He would ascend several thousand feet and explode dynamite at intervals. This time he had gone up 1500 feet, and his airship was soaring birdlike. Every eye among the thrilled spectators lie- low' watched him until he became al­most a speck. Suddenly a great cloud of smoke ap­peared. It hid the airship from view, the spectators supposed, as the bal­ loon had vanished. In another moment the sound of the explosion reached the straining ears. The airship did not appear again to vision. For a moment the crowd waited ex­ pectantly, thinking that a view of -the aeronaut would be obtained through a rift in the smoke. A second—two— three and, finally, a minute passed a-'d the supposed smoke did not clear. Then a groan of horror rose from the mul­titude. The airship had vanished. ■ YYhere it had been but a moment before was only space. Twenty-five thousand pairs of eyes searched in vain over the heav­ ens for the speck which had been hu­man life. A woman's shriek broke the spell. The practiced eye of Baldwin's wife told her of the tragedy iu the clouds before the crowd could fully compre­ hend. With one piercing scream she fell in a dead faint. Searchers immediately began looking for fragments of the wrecked airship. A half mile away they found pieces of silk cloth, of which the balloon was made, and splinters of the liasket-like frame work on which the aeronaut had been perched. Scattered about a twen- ty-aere field were fragmeuts of Bald­ win's body. The distance was so great that the crowds had nc t seen them fall. When they realized what had hap­ pened forty or more women faiuted, while the faces of the men blanched. The tragedy occurred at the end of the day’s program, and the crowd was quickly dismissed from the grounds, No one can tell how the accident oc­ curred. The six sticks of dynamHe which Baldwin carried with him must have exploded simultaneously, as only one report was heard. It is supposed that in igniting the fuse connected with the dynamite he set fire to a leak of hydrogen gas from the balloon, the gas forming an explosive mixtu i with the air. and that this explosion set off the dynamite also. , Baldwin was engaged in a demon­ stration of the possibilities of aerial warfare. For almost twenty years he had been giving balloon and airship ex­ hibitions about the country, for the most part at county fairs. He was thirty-seven years old. and his home was at Losantiville, Ind. PRESIDENT RECEIVES NEWS. Message of Peace Reaches Him at Oyster Bay. Oyster Bay, N. Y.—President Roose­ velt received his first news of the agreement between the envoys of Rus­ sia and Japan on terms of peace at 12.50 o'clock in the afternoon. The President was in the library at Sagamore Hill dictating letters having an important bearing on the peace ne­ gotiations. The telephone rang. Secretary Loeb dropped- his pen and stepped up to receive the message, and the next mo­ ment Mr. Roosevelt knew that the ef­forts in which he had set his heart had finally borne fruit.

A solution for most of our prob­ lems is WOBK. Ignorance confess­ ed is half-way to kuowledge possess- Begin with liqnor foe- a remedy and you end with it for a ruleit, It’s -the burden we drag and not those we bear that are heavy. There is no victory over Satan without yielding to the Savior. It is easier to lead a hundred child­ ren than to drive one. The Lord never invented watching as an escape from working. Pain is never too great a price to pay to be purged of pride. It’s a poor exchange to lose power with God for popularity with men. It takes more than faith in hell to furnish you with passports to Heav­ en. It is sad to see the snows on the brow befsre there are fruits on the life. Fops are people who are born fools and then sent to fashion’s finishing school. The showy man seldom shows any­ thing worth seeing. Many “ great sermons” have come from mighty small souls. A little practical pity is worth a lot of professional piety. They have the most who make the most of what they have. Talking about God is not the same as walking with God. ... God calls men to be the media be­ tween Himself and other mbii . Burning thoughts from Heaven leave no ashes of regret. It always makes a mean man happy to see another’s misery. Never do today the unkind things you could put off forever. Half Kitten, Half Rabbit.

Strange Reduction in Foreign Ship­ ments—Gain in Home Consumption. Washington. D. C—With, a wheat crop estimated by the Government at 719.000.000 bushels, compared with 552.000.000 last year, together with bad crop reports from Russia and InJ din, expectations of a reaction from last year’s abnormally low* exports seem to have been reasonably well founded. Yet wheat exports are still surprisingly light. This week has been the first in almost two months that has not shown a decrease as compared even with the extraordinarily low figures of last year, and even the current gain is very slight. As compared with the figures for 1903, the figures have uni­ formly fallen to about one-third. An explanation which at once sug­ gests itself, dud which reports from the West have in some degree substan­ tiated, is that the millers at primary points are accumulating large stocks of wheat in advance; hence the wheat is not going forward to seaboard. But this theory is far from adequate. Two other possibilities are that foreign sup­ plies of wheat are much better than has-been generally believed, and that our home wheat consumption this year is to be the largest on record. •' Counterfeiters* Bad Year. The annual report of Chief Wilkie, of the Secret Service, from* Washing­ ton, D.

There is a beauty in health which is more at­ tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have .attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and de­stroyed.

A lady writing from Calif, says: “My husband and I, both lovers of coffee, suffered for some time from a very annoying form of nervousness, accompanied by most frightful head­ aches. In my own case there was eventually developed some, sort of af­ fection of the nerves leading from the spine to the head. "I was nnable to hold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew it to one side, causing me the most intense pain. We got no relief from medicine, and were puzzled as to what caused the trouble, till a friend suggested that possibly the coffee we drank bad something to do with it, and advised that we quit it and try Pos- tam Coffee. “We followed his advice, and from the day that we began to use Postu.m we both began to improve, and in a very short time both of us were en­ tirely relieved. The nerves became steady once more, the ■ headaches ceased, the muscles in the back of my neck relaxed, my head straightened up and the dreadful pain that bad so punished me while I used the old kind of coffee vanished, “We have never resumed the use of the old coffee, but relish our Postum every.day as well as we did the for­ mer beverage. And we are delighted to find that we can give it freely to our children also, something '.re never dared to do with the old kind of cof­ fee ” Name given by Postum Co., Bat­ tle Creek. Mich.

It is good in construction, primed with a quick and sure primer, and carefully loaded with the best brands of powder and shot. It is a favorite among hunters and other users of black powder shells on account of its uniform shooting, evenness of pattern and strength to withstand reloading. A L L DEALERS SELL THEM Shakespeare and Hiawatha. An American schoolboy has written an essay on the “Merchant of Venice,” full of original matter. This is his view of Portia: “Portia was a kind and true-hearted young lady; she was very good-natured, especially to some of her gentleman friends, when those young men was going to choose their coffins." But the gem of the article relates to Shakespeare himself. “The story was written by Shakespeare, who married Hiawatha. He was born in Venice, where he and the merchant shot arrows of the same fly when boys. It was here, that he learned to season mercy with justice.” Anne Hathaway turned into Hiawatha is a really interesting case of derangement —London Chronicle. * A WOMAN’S SUFFERINGS.

Bailey (cousins) are among the wealthiest and most iuflueiitial men in the county. W. A. Bailey is also Pres­ ident of the Bank of Mocksville. and was sheriff of Davie county for ten years.; His home farm is Ii miles from Advance and by the Yadkin river, where he .has herds aiul ilocks, but he ovtus sev­ eral farms aud properties hcie and there, antipossesesthe family tra-its t>f enterprise and disposition as ge­ nial as the snn. Iu 1890 the population of. the village was 273; the railway came in 1891 and now the population is 420. Ithas churches ,and a com­ modious two story .school ,house, out better paid teachtrs are wanted and «1 graded school would lie of vast benefit to the region. Advance has eight stores, and the. railway brings in .about .750,000 pounds ol merchandise .per mouth, while the shipments include tobacco, lum­ ber, flour, wood.produce and whis­ key until January when the dis tilleries stop. • William -C.

Alter clerking he was ap pointed to the U- S. Revenue Ser vice, then started a store with Iim- ifcsd capital, eleven years ago, and has kept building trade. As post- inaeter, since 1897, he has satisfied government.aud -.people, .and pwns good properties .and deserves suc­ cess. JIr.

G. H. C. Shntt has given Ad­ vance fame as the maker ,of grain cradles, Wliicli are iu such demand it is with difficulty he can answer with supply. He goes ,into the woods and chooses the best timber, chiefly ash, but he warrants no cra­ dle as he says, “ How can I war­ rant anything -when .I am not war- ranted myself,” ;but he has been making cradles for 20 years and they were al vays satisfactory. Mr. Shutt turns out about 300 to 400 grain cradlesannnally, and has 14 acres 011 which he gets good crops of sweet potatoes and cottou. A. C.

Kail, an inmate of the Eastern Insane Asy- j Inin, at Raleigh, is one of the most outrageous crimes of the day The evidence before the coroner’s jury and the evideuce of the doctor, shows that this poor . unfortunate man came to his death-at the bands of four of the attendants. It’s to , be hoped these brntes will be pun­ ished to the full extent of the law. There is uo excuse for this dastard­ ly crime. Sam Jones. “If the Republican party keeps meu in office,” said he, ilSiich as the man at the head of the govern- uow, I don’t car if they run it a 1,000 years. - (Applause.) Any party that espouses liquor deserves to die, and the Democratic party is dead today. It lies in .a suicide’s I grave.” - it is up to its ,.ankles in liquor, as ;Pat was in the mild— head foremost. . H e3aid there isn’t a State in the world where whiskey is better handled than iu this aud lie complimeuted the jug law warmly. The above is an ,extract from a lecture delivered by Rev. Sam Jones in Charlotte last week. He is sizing up the opinion of the great majority ,of the people of these United States. The Rev. Sam Jones is oue of the most striking and orig­ inal characters of the day, and he bits the center oftener than other­ wise. A Disktvcrj. Congressman Jas. Pou1 has made a great “tli&kivery.” In a 3 col-1 uniu iuterview published m the Ealeigh Post of the 7th insfc., he says that ‘‘a majority of the voters of this couutry are opposed to Re publican principles.” G,eat €#u- sar’s ghost! didu’titlook that way last November? The prophetic vis­ ions of Mr. Pou can see wonders in his anxiety to capture au election, so that the hungry Democratic pie brigade can march up to thecouutei. and enjoy the. emoluments of office. Why, Mr. -Pou. .the Rev. Sam Joues says if .the Republicans will keep-such.a -man as Mr, Roobevelt at the head of this government he don’t care if it stays in powei foi a thousand- yeuis. -Gieat is Democ racy, and greater still aie its proph eta,—nothing like opposition.

Portsmouth, N. H. — Xbe war be­ tween Japan and Bussia is ended. At 3.47 o'clock in Ihe afternoon the Treaty of Portsmouth, re-establishing peace between the two empires, was signei by the plenipotentiaries sent here by the Czar and the Mikado. A moment afterward a salute of nineteen guns was fired at the United States Navy Sard on Kittery Point, the church' bells in Portsmouth, New Castle and Klttery were rung, and flags were hoisted everywhere. Only sis Americans were allowed to •witness the act which ended the great war. These were Admiral Mead, Cap­ tain Winslow, Captain Gibbons, Gov­ ernor McLane, Mayor Marvin and As­ sistant Secretary of State Peirce. Through the courtesy of Mr. Peirce, the newspaper correspondents were admitted to the navy yard, and for two hours stood in the mud outside the conference building iu a mixed group composed of automobiles, buggies and dock-yard laborers. Both the Bussian and Japanese mis­sions on their arrival at the navy yard iwere received by Admiral Mead, while two companies of marines commanded toy Major Moses rendered military hon­ ors and a band played. On entering the building the Bnssian end Japanese plenipotentiaries retired to their respective apartments, while their secretaries went into a private room to read over and finally compare the French and English copies of the treaty. This occupied half an hour, iwhile the six guests conversed with the attaches and junior officials in the conference room. At 3.40 o'clock the secretaries went into the conference room and said that the treaty was ready for signature. M. Korostovetz informed- Baron Ko- mura that all was ready, and Mr. Ya- maza performed the same service for the Bussiau envoys. The plenipoten­ tiaries then entered the room and took their scats. On the Russian side of the table sat M. Witte, Baron F.osen, 'M. Pokotiloff, Commander Boussine and M. Korostovetz. Baron Komura sat opposite M. Witte. The others on Japanese side of the table were Mr. Takahira, Mr. Dennison, Mr, Tamaza and Mr. Sato. When all were seated the secretaries brought in the four copies of the peace treaty and laid them upon the table. The two French copies were placed in front of M. Witte and Baron Boscu and the two English copies before Bar­on Komura and Mr. Takahira. At 3.47 o’clock the four envoys signed their names simultaneously to the papers in front of them, and then ex­changed them for the others. Each envoy had to sign his name four times. M. Witte was the only envoy who signed two names, “Serge Witte.” The others signed “Ivomura,” “Takahira” and ‘‘Bosen.” Not a word was said in the room !When the treaty was being signed. At 8.49 o’clock an official ran down the steps from the conference room and said to Captain Rowe of the marine guard: “Go ahead, Captain.” The officer ran to the corner oi the building and waved a red flag, which ,was immediately followed by the roar of the guns as they thundered forth an Ambassador’s salute of nir.eteen guns. This announced to Portsmouth and the surrounding towns and villages that the treaty had been signed. The salute ■was followed by the ringing of cluirch bells, the raising of flags and the blow­ ing of the whistles of the towboats and steamers in the harbor. In the meanwhile, inside the confer­ ence room, a remarkable scene was In progress. Throwing his pen aside. M. iWItte, without a word, reached across the table and grasped Baron Komura’s hand. His confreres followed his ex­ample, and the Bussian and Japanese delegates remained for a moment in silence, their right hands tightly clasped across the conference table. The war was over—Russia and Jnpau Were once more friends. There was nothing stagy about this simple ceremony. It rang true, and deeply impressed the attaches and sec­ retaries of the two missions aDd the in. Tited witnesses. Baron Rosen was the first to break the silence. Rising from his seat, the Ambassador, looking Baron Komura straight In the eye, said a few words ■which one had only to hear to know that they came straight from his heart. Baron Komura replied that he shared entirely the views of Baron Bosen. TAR HEEL CROP CONDITIONSEND TROUBLE IN DEATH Not a Case of Graft But One of p tiality and Favoritism After this there was general hand­ shaking, and a buffet luncheon was served in tlie cafe across the hull, the Russians and Japanese informally drinking each other’s health. Shortly before £■ o’clock the Russian mission left the yard for the thanksgiving ser- yice at Christ Church, and the Japan­ ese returned to the hotel.

X number of new cases o£ cholera vre’.e reported In Prussia, Germany, Popular Outbursts and Protests Against Peace Terms MASS MEETING OF THE PEOPLE Crowd In » ThfeaIW Disperse^ fcatei i»y Police—Cfflco of Iiie Governident Or­ gan Attacked by a MoI> — Disorders Not General and tho Majority of the People Iteaojr I© Accept the Resulti Tokio, japai). — Turbulence an the part oi the people attendant upon the popular anger Svei1 the terms Of peace arranged with Bussia took place-. A mass meeting to protest against the ac­ tion of the Government was called, to take place at Hibiya Park, but the metropolitan police closed the gates, and attempted to prevent the assem­ bling of the people. The municipality protested agaihst the action of the po­ lice, and finally the gates were thrown open, and a large crowd gathered and voted in favOr of resolutions declaring the nation humiliated, and denouncing the terms upon which the treaty of peace was arranged. The crowd was serious in its conduct, rather than an­ gry, and the police handled it discreet­ ly. The gathering eventually dispersed in an orderly manner.Later on, however, a crowd attempt­ ed to hold a meeting iu the Shintomi' Theatre, and the police dispersed it. A portion of the crowd, then proceeded to the office of the Kokumin Shinbun, the Government organ, and began hooting. Three employes of . the paper, armed with swords, appeared at the door of the building and checked the attack, and the police again dispersed the crowd. It was thought that the trouble had passed, when suddenly a portion of the crowd made a rush at the build­ing, hurled stones and damaged some of the machinery. Several persons were injured during the attack, but the police eventually cleared the streets of the crowd and arrested a number of rioters; The disorder was not general, and the situation was not regarded as being serious.Similar meetings have been held at Osaka and Magoya1 which, in round terms, denounced the Government, and asked them to resign. General sentiment throughout the country seemed to favor reactionary measures, but It appears clear that the majority of the people will eventually accept the resuit of the peace confer­ ence, however disappointing it may be. Authorities Prepare For Trouble. The press telegrams outlining the peace terms have further inflamed the sentiment against the settlement; The radicals and hotheads continued to urge various expedients to express tho popular disapproval. As a precaution­ary measure the police reserves have been increased. The police carefully watched the developments of the situa­ tion, and the force will be doubled should violence occur. If it did, its speedy suppression was assured. The Government was silent. The conservative element predict that the country will approve the settlement when its conditions are thoroughly un­ derstood. They declare that the pres­ ent agitation does not represent either the ultimate sentiment of the people or A sufficiently strong minority to merit serious consideration. Nagasaki.—The peace news was re­ ceived without enthusiasm in the chief centres of Kiushlu Province. There is ai general feeling of chagrin that Japan lias been deprived of the rightful fruits of victory, but there : > disappointment especially at the fact that permanent security from Russian aggression has not been secured. The diplomatic fail­ ure is considered to be due to the nego­ tiations beginning prematurely. Yokohama. — There have been no demonstrations. The people quietly awaited the official announcement of the text of the treaty. LOST SEVENTEEN IN STORM. Francis K Stevens and Others Tako Their Own Lives. Kcpliew of SI.

S t Petersburg Papers Say It Does Not Conduce to Peace in Far East. St. Petersburg, Bussia.—There was much comment in the papers on the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which, it was claimed, was not conducive to peace, because it upset the balance of power In the Far East and made Great Bri­ tain and Japan predominant. The No- voe Vremya expresses the opinion that it is. directed against German designs in the Far East, while the Svet de­ clares that the treaty shuts out Bussla from the Pacific and the open sea any­ where in Asia.

Ittii New cases, 27; totai, 2,2S!). Deaths, 7; total, 316. New Foci, 11. Cases under treatment, 296; dis­ charged, 1,677. The unfavorable part Ot the Sunday report is the unusually large number of deaths. Another distinguished member of tho Roman Cathdlid clergy is in the list, Father L. E. Green, of the Jesuit College. He died at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon, Sfteii feeiiig; ill eact- Iy a week. He was struck with a chill last Sunday just after delivering a lec­ ture, but nothing was thought of it. The next day he visited a room in the college which had been screened and made ready for emergencies in accord­ ance with the suggestion of Dr. White, and jokingly remarked to one of his colleagues that they had the room ready now and only needed the first pa­ tient. A few hours later he was the occupant. He was later transferred to the Hotel Dieu. He suffered from other complications which caused the fatal ending. He was 38 years of age and a native of England. He had been here about two years and was a teacher In the branch school conducted by the Jesuits on St. Philip street. There was not a single Italian name among the other deaths. One occurr- ed in the Emergency Hospital, one in Algiers and one in the French Asylum, on St. Ann street. Since the Marihg Hospital Service has bean in charge, the officers have discovered 57 foci infections, which has been of some standing and were unknwon except tbrouga the second­ ary infection. The district officers have been especially diligent in thus trac­ ing up infection and this has been the means qf checking what threatened to be- serious nests in different neigh­ borhoods. 19 MEN BLOWN TO SHREDS. Terrible Destruction Wrought by Powder Mill Explosion. Connelsvllle, Pa., Special.—Ttie Rand Powder Mills at Fairchance, six miles south at Uniontown, were entirely wip­ ed out by an explosion at 9.05 o’clock Saturday. Of the 32 men who went to work ty the mill, 19 are known to be dead. Of these 13 have been identified. Nine men, including C. M. Rand, man­ ager of the plant, were seriously injur­ ed. Scopes of people Iii the town of Fair- chance, Within half a igile 6f the pow­ der mills, were more or less painfully injured. Tbe shock of the explosion was dis­ tinctly felt in CoflnelSvHiSi 20 mites away, building being rocked on their foundations. At ynioniown hundreds of panes of glass were broken. In the town of Fairchance there is scarcely a house that did not suffer damage. The sides were battered as though axes had been used. Haystacks were toppled over in the fields and Uve stock were stunned. The rails of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway and the West Pennsyll- vania Traction Railway Company were rooted from the road bed and traffic was delayed from four to six hours, transfers being made over the Penn­ sylvania. Thain No. 52 on the Balti­ more and Ohio had a narrow escape from annihilation. It had just passed the Rand Mills when the explosion oc- coaches were shattered and passengers coaches were shattered IU passengers thrown into a panic. Had the train been a few seconnds late it WOuld have been blown up, as the mills were in a few rods off the track. A street car on the Weet Pennsylvania road Bad also passed just a few seconds before the explosion and was far away enough to escape damage, though it was derailed. Notchez Has Two New Cases. Natchez, Miss., Special.—Two new cases In one family, making one new focus of infection, were reported Sun­ day. The patients, Buby and Joe Ziegler, white, live on a street adja­ cent to the block where the first infec­ tion was discovered. There are now five cases under treatment.

At Durham on Saturday afternoon ex-Mayor McCown assaulted Judge Ward in a very brutal manner, knocking him against the door fac­ ing and injuring him to a consider­ able extent. The trouble grew out of the fact that Judge Ward had sentenced a negro to flftten months on the public roads for the killing of a nephew of McCowa. The ex-may­ or became incensed at this and ask­ ed Judge Ward to either release the negro or increase the sentence. This being refused he began cursing the judge and then struck hi]in. Mo- CoWn was arrested on a bench war­ rant and convicted of contempt of court and sentenced to imprisonment 30 days and to pay a fine of $200. The case was heard iu Raleigh Mon­ day before the full ber.eh of the Su­ preme Court on a writ of heabeas corpus, the application for release was refused and McCown was reman­ ded to jail. The frame store buildiiig formerly oceupied by Hoffman & Mull at Drex- el, five miles from Morganton, and filled with finished furniture await­ ing shipment, which belonged to the Drexel Furniture Company; was to­ tally destroyed by fire between 3 and 4 o’clock Sunday. Theft was $200 insurance on the building, but none on the furniture, which is a loss of between $3,000 and $4,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. The Builders’ Lumber Company’* plant at Marietta was sold Wednes­ day by Mr. J. D. Norment, trustee. The purchaser was Mr. W. H. Sand­ erson, of Washington, and the pi'-se paid was $12,500.

Oyster Bay, L. I., Special.-prfsi,l6n Roosevelt has made public tho repor of the Keep commission on its recea investigation of affaire in the Uovern ment Printing Office at Washingtoa The inauiry was made by special at rection of the President on account 0 a protest which he had received fron a protest which he had received Cvom of flcials of the Mergenthaler Typesetting Machine Company against the award 01 a contract by Public Printer Frank W Palmer to the Lanston Monotype Cota pany for 72 machines of its make. The President decided, after an ex- amination of the Keep report, that the! contract for the Lanston machines! should stand. The Keep commission! reported that if the contract could b9| set aside, "SOCh a course would be ad-] visable,” although the commission states expressly that “no corrupt con­ sideration, payment or promise passed from the Lanston Monotype Company to the public printer or to any person in the government service,” It was developed by the investiga­ tion, however, that two important as­ sistants of the public printed v.-c-rc in­ directly interested In the Laston Com­ pany, ‘‘their wives being stockholders therein.” The commission shows that a fair and impartial test of the Lanstoa and Mergenthaler machines was not made, and reports that the purchase of ■0 large a number of Lanston machines was “improvident” and indicated "great partiality and bias on the part of the public printer.” The commission re­ gards the purchase as “maladminislra- tion.” The text of the President's mem­ orandum upon the report follows: “Oyster Bay, Sept. 8, 1905. ‘‘The conclusion of the committee are hereby approved, save the latter part of conclusion first. It does not appear that there is any question as to the validity of the contract in question. If It had not been for the conduct o£ the Mergenthaler Company in preferring' the charge discussed by the committee in conclusion two, that of corruption, I should agree with the committee that it would be desirable to set aside the contract, if such course were legal. But second only to corruption in a public office In point of inquiry, comes making a baseless charge of corruption, and this is what the committee finds the Marganthaler Company has done in this case, its comments being in part: “ ‘In the light of the failure of the company to produce evidence of such' corruption, it must be held that the charge was made recklessly and the Mergenthaler Company should be se­ verely condemned for Including such a charge in a formal communication to the president of the United States made as a basis for official action on his part, tt Is fair also to the Laftstoa Monetyps Company to say that no evi­ dence wa§ produced by the Mergen- thaler Company, nor was any obtained by the committee in the course of its hearing, tending to show any promise, payment or consideration of any kind whatsoever made by the Lanston Com­ pany, or any of its officers or agents, to any person in the government ser­ vice.’ “Had not this charge of corruption been made I should have entirely agreed with the conclusion of the com­ mittee that if it were possible (which it is not) it would be desirable to can­ cel the contract in question. “Public Printer Palmer has been re­ moved froni office. The cases of the subordinates alluded to in the repcift must be taken up In connection with the discipline and re-organization o£ the bureau when Mr. Palmer’s suc­ cess or assumes office.“THEODRORE ROOSEVELT. Referring to the allegation that Os­ car J. Ricketts was the candidate of the Merganthaier Company for Public Printer, the report says: ‘‘Questions were asked of the Public Printer. Mr. Dove and General Miehner, as to what grounds they had for thinking Uiat the Mergsnthaler Company was be­ hind Mr. Ricketts. The seasons given were of an unsubstantial character and it is only just to Mr. Ricketts to say that there is not in the evidence taken before this committee anything to show an illegitimate connection between Mr. Rockets and the Mergenthaler Com­ pany.” Suburbs Unsafe.

Raieigh, Special.—The latest sen­ sation here is the arrest and placing in jail of four attendants at the hos­ pital for the insane who were charg­ ed with cruelty which resulted in the death of Charles Nail, the 30-year- old patient from Chatham county, three weeks ago. The superintendent of the hospital stated that no undue violence was used and that death was due to over-exertion on a very hot day. It was further stated that one of the attendants nearly afinted; in fact, was made sick, by the exertion of the capture. On the other hand, it is alleged that when the head of Nail was shaved, at the post-mortem, a number of bruises were found, notab­ ly one at the base of the skull, and that the rear of the body was very badly bruised. The four attendants are in jail and have nothing to say. Lady Burned to Death. Statesville, Special.—Miss Anna Johnston, aged about 23 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. K.

The deceased went to the wash place, on the branch near, her home Tues­ day morning, to do the family wash­ ing and about 11 o’clock her mother heard her screaming and ran to meet her. Mrs. Johnston found her daugh­ ter’s clothing on fire and before she could extinguish the flames Miss Johnson’s clothes from her hips to her waist were burned off and her body severely burned. Medical aid was sumoned at once but little could be done except to relieve the unfor­ tunate woman’s suffering.

A Greensboro special to the Char­ lotte Observer of Friday, says: Fire broke out at 4 o’clock Thursday af­ ternoon in the dry house of the Mi- nola Cotton Mills, at Gibsonville, twelve miles east of here, and des­ troyed several thousand dollars worth of property. The mills are equipped with a splendid water-works plant and this saved the complete destruc­ tion of the enterprise. A large quan­ tity of cotton was ruined and the building and machinery greatly dam­ aged before the flames could be ex­ tinguished, after two hours of hard fighting. Messrs. Robertson & Armfield, of High Point, have obtained charters for the High Point Real Estate and Trust Company, with $5,000 capital paid in, and for the Merchants and Farmers’ Bank, of Chapel Hill, with $10,000 paid up capital, the stock­ holders being 30 residents of that town and section. Mr. Wiliam L. Geppert, president and manager of The Globe Publish­ ing Company, publishers of the Sal­ isbury Sun and Weekly Globe, thro’ his attorney, J. H. Horah, has field a petition for the appointment of a reciver for the above company, on the ground that the company is in debt and has not sufficient assets to carry on the business, and that the property now on hand will be lost un­ less placed in proper hands. A special from Iienoir says: Mr. W. H. Bower was stricken with para­ lysis Thursday about 7 o’dick. A physician was summoned imediately and he did not become unconscious. He is doing as well as possible. The attack was at the left side but did not affect ony of the limbs. It is hop­ ed that the attack will not confine him very long. Mr. Bower is a.well known lawyer and has served in con­ gress. The school year opened at Wake Forest College last week with nearly three hundred students present. There have ben a number of changes in the faculty- While en route to a fire the Win­ ston hook and ladder truck ran into John Hollman, a married han, aged about thirty-five years, knocking him down and crushing his skull. The at­ tending physician announces that the wounded man cannot live many hours. One wheel of the truck ran over Hol­ loman’s back and head. The hook and ladder truck weighs over six thousand pounds. Several men were on it when the fatal aeident occur­ red. A bank has been chartered for Cbapel Hill in the secretary of state’s office.

We go from stre n g th to strength because we go fromstrug- gle to struggle. If you aregoing to be happy in Heaven you had better practice be­fore you go. Many a man who would be a very patient monk makes but a patulant merchant. The friend of sinners suffers most of all when sinners turn their backs on Him. _ A man has to learn to see God in little things before He shows His greatness. The man who boasts of his breadth of view often mistakes his ignorance for his opinions. Some people think they are pious because they always have had a long­ing for the golden street. You can blind yourself to your brother’s need, but you cannot blind your Father to your sin. A righteous man wold rather be ridiculous than be wrong; but he would prefer to be neither. There are too many people drawing revenue from pestilential alleys and still singing about golden streets. Probably Moses knew nothing of the botany of the burning bush, but no professor ever got half as much out of it. There is no promise that smooth people will slide into Heaven, though there is a warning regarding the oth­ er destination. A Profitable Sturgeon. The prize cow sturgeon of the sea­ son was landed at Chester on Tuesday by Ikie Rothwell and a fellow fisher­ man. When drawn the big fish yielded 72 pounds of roe, which was sold at 65 cents a pound, netting the fishermen 146.80. The carcass, after the roe was drawn, weighed 247 pounds, which was sold at 4% cents a pound, netting 511.12, the entire sum realized for roe and sturgeon being $57.92. From the money standpoint Fisher­ man Rothwell and his companion can claim that they have made the biggest catch of the season.—Chester (Pa.) Independent SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

It was impossi­ ble even to estimate the property losses. Twenty-five villages were destroyed. The earthquake was felt all over Cal­ abria, and to a certain extent In Sicily. The worst news comes from Pizzo and Monte Leone. Light shocks were felt as far north as Naples and Florence. The Province of Calabria is very mountainous, and given over to agri­ culture. The people there are very poor but industrious. King Victor Emmanuel, who is so­ journing at Vallambrosa, as soon as he learned of the catastrophe sent $4000 for the aid- of the sufferers, and instructed the officials to afford every possible aid. Subscriptions for the suf­ ferers have been opened by the news­ papers. The ancient crater on the Island of St. Romboli was in eruption, throwing out lava and stones. The population of the island is fleehig. The shock was felt at 2.55 o’clock in the morning. It lasted for eighteen seconds at Catnnzaro, and soon there­ after was felt at Messina, Reggio, Monte Leone, Martirano, Stefaconi, Piscopio, Triparni, Sammaro, Cessan- iti, Maida, Olivadi and other points. The shock at Riggo was worse than that experienced last year. Scenes of indescribable terror en­ sued. Women aroused from sleep rushed half clothed into the streets screaming with fear. They carried babies; dragging along their other children, and called for help on the Madonna and the saints.The men escaped into the open with their families, all calling on their fa­ vorite saints for protection. The cafes were taken by assault by the strange­ ly garbed crowd. As daylight came without a repeti­ tion of the earthquake the crowd grad­ ually melted away until by 8 o’clock the streets had almost assumed nor­mal appearance, except in the ruined villages. There the inhabitants had no homes to go to. The general confusion was added to by dreadful cries from the jails, where prisoners were beside themselves with fright. In some cases they mutinied, but all were kept within bounds. Troops, engineers and doctors have been hurried to the scenes of disaster to assist in the work of rescue and sal­ vage. Minister of Public Works Fer- raris left for Calabria at once. Catanzaro. — The towns of Pizzo, Monte Leone and Martirano were al­ most entirely destroyed by earthquake. At Monte Leone seven persons were killed and many Injured by the col­ lapse of the prison. At Martirano all the buildings col­ lapsed, including the barracks of the gendarmes. Six wounded men were taken from the ruins. There are other victims. Locally the shocks lasted eighteen seconds. The walls of the hospital col­ lapsed and some of the patients were injured. The inhabitants of this city fled panic stricken from their houses. AU the houses at Stefaconi were wrecked. It is feared that 100 persons are buried in the ruins. At Martirano, out of a population of more than 3000, there are 2200 with­ out shelter. Among the villages said to be destroyed are tbe following: Pis­ copio, Tripapni, Zammaro, Bratico, Sanfeo, San Costantino and Conidoni. Practically all the habitations a t Ces- sanisi are wrecked. How many dead are In the ruins is not known. At SpiIgnia and Santo- Nobrio almost all the houses which have not collapsed are in an unsafe condition and threat­ en to fall. At Baffina buildings were damaged and a number of persons killed or wounded. Houses at Girifalso were badly dam­aged, but there was no loss of life. At Montanro several houses collapsed. Nicastro and Cortali suffered great damage to property, and many persons were wounded. The property loss was excessive at Serrastretta, Gimiliano and Jacuno. Calabria is in Southern Italy, form­ ing the southern part of the former Kingdom of Naples. It is divided into three provinces—Cosenza, Calabriaand Catanzaro—and is traversed by the Apennines. The region is subject to earthquakes. CZAR AT PEACE SERVICE. With Members Of Royal Family He Hears Te Deum Sung.

Arrangements are making to provide winter quarters for large numbers of Cossacks in all the villages and ham­ lets around Tsarskoe-Selo, near St. Petersburg Russia. Cossack canton­ ments will thus form a close cordon around the imperial residence. J. B. Bishop Receives Appointment. Chairman Shonts announced the ap­ pointment of Joseph B.

The other day Hakon Hanson was digging up the garden in the yard In the rear of Myron G. .Willard's home at Mankato when he found a little gold baby ring. On the inside of the ring was engraved “Kittle Wagner” La script. The Kittie Wagner that lost the ring is now one of the prominent wom­ en of this town. Thirty-five years ago she, a little girl, attended the primary grade at the Pleasant Grove school, which Is within a half block of the garden, and while playing at recess one day she lost the little ring.—St. Paul Dispatch.

Sclantuta Have Snceaeded In Plucking' Real Dlamrinde and Rubies From the Crncible of the Furnace* Recent advices from France state that Professor Moissan, the eminent scientist and Inventor, has actually succeeded in making genuine dia­ monds and rubies: He employs for this purpose the- electric furnace, which has been so improved that a degree of heat can be produced ap­ proaching the extreme temperatures Which were undoubtedly a factor in the formation of minerals and gems in the interior of the earth. The rubies obtained are of large size, weighing ten or fifteen carats, and in quality and color equal and even surpass those found in the earth. The natural forces attending the for­ mation of diamonds seem to have been more complicated, and so far the diamonds resulting from the efforts of the scientists have been very small, but still they are positively identified as the carbon crystal—the .diamond. They are remarkably clear and bright, and on a small scale as fine specimens as nature’s own product. The elpctric furnace has enriched chemistry with a whole series of new. compounds. Probably the one of most value to mankind at large is Calcium Carbide. The simple application of water to Calcium Carbide generates the gas Acetylene, which is now being commonly used for lighting. The peculiar merits of Acetylene light are its brilliance and high candle power, ease of installation, economy and its adaptability for lighting build­ ings of every description, regardless of their location. Forrestry a Coming Profession. Forestry is one of the coming pro­ fessions, according to. all accounts, says the American Cultivator. Many of the States are just beginning to get fairly awake to the heed of skilled care of their forest resources, and are hiring foresters and • assistants at from $1,200 to $2,400 a year. During the past year about seven members of the force employed by the Govern­ ment Bureau of Forestry have left their position® to take up work with private timber owners, and four oth­ ers have accepted public positions as foresters for States and Canadian provinces. The demand seems to ex­ ceed the supply, as only a limited number can be trained in the Bureau of Forestry and through college courses in forestry.

Pa i n f u l j p ERIods AMERICAN WOMEH FIHD RELIEF The Case of MIbs Irene Qroeby Is One of Thousands of Cures Made by Lydia SI* PlsfchamtB Vegetable Compound. How many women xealize that men* struation id the balance wheel of a WomantS life, and while no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it is not the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Thousands of American women, how­ ever, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. PinkhamtS Vegetame Compound, as it is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton Street Hast Savannah, Ga., w rites: 44 Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound is a true friend to woman. It has been of great benefit to me, curing me of irregular and painful menstruation when everything else had failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women.” Women who are troubled with pain* ful or irregular menstruation, back­ ache, bloating (or flatulence), leucor- rhoea, falling, inflammation ,or ulcera­ tion of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that “ bearing-down feeling, dizzi­ ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the seri­ ous consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. PinkhamtB Vegetable Com- Sound, and then write to Mrs. Pink- am, Lynn, Mass., for further free ad­ vice. Thousands have been cured by so doing. A F E W C U T T I N G REMARKS' The purpose of a saw is to cut.It should cut easily, cut cleanly, and cut with every rUefement.I prefer an Atkins Saw. Its blade is “Silver Steclff, recognized the. world over as tho finest cruioible steel ever made in ancient or modern times. It is hard, close-grained and tough. It holds a sharp cutting edge longer than any other Saw. Its blade tapers perfectly from thick to thin, from handle to tip.- Thus it makes leeway for itself, runs easily and does not buckle.

You j.ngt can't satisfy the omnivorous bird cabled Democrat—pie is whiat he is after and as long as there .are a few Re­ publicans at the tabje Mr. Demo­ crat will lie coutiutlaily kinking. In speaking of high prices for the fanners’ produets, he tries to dissatisfy the laborer by telling him that wages have not corres­ pondingly increased. In- wages have not increased, please tell us why so much is being said about the scarcity of Ialiort atd that Ia- b->r can’t be had suftiejeut to do t ie work at any price? Wc know wages have increased in these parts, we are paying 100 per cent on an average more for labor thau 5 or 6 years ago; but then tlx-ie is no use arguing with a pie hunting Democrat, for he is “agiu'! every-, thing; even his own interest, un­ less he has all the pie on his table. The great majority of the people in the United States are dependent upon the prosperity of the farmer and when he is getting good prices for his products the eonutry is pros perous, and we are not going to vote to put his prices down just in order to give the towns’ people cheaper eatings at the farmers’ ex­ pense.

Hi to I. Do you see the point ilr. Farmer? - We want to call the attention of the Post, also the farmers and la­ borers, to another view of this ques­ tion. When the farmer, under Cleveland, - was getting 25 and :50 cents for his corn; 40 cents and »0 cents for his wheat; 25 cents for oats; I to J} eeuts for his beef, and other products in proportion, the farmer was hard up, without mouey, and the laborers were tramping the highways, hungry, begging for work and bread, and often being fed in soup houses; the mills were idle; discontent and stagnation pre­ vailed in all lines. Do the farmers and laborers desire a return to those conditions? Does the editor of the Post want like conditions? If the people wiint thos3 ^condi tions—low prices and labor -unemployed, they can get it by electing Si Democratic President and Congress in 1908.

The song was such a contrast to the horrible fact that no one could fail of a sudden shock at the thought the song suggested. “I stood in old Jeruselem Beside the temple there” the song went on. The judge Iiad paused. He made a quiet- in­ quiry. A former member of a fa­ mous opera company, known all over the country, was waiting trial fur forgery. It was he who was singing in-his cell. Meantime the song went on, aud every iuan in line showed emotion, one or two dropped on their knees, one boy at the end of the line, af­ ter a desperate effort at self-control, Ieaued against the wall, buried his face against his folded , arms and sobbed, “O, mother, mother.” The eobs. cutting to the very heart the'men who heard, and the sojjg still w,elljng its waj through the court room, blending in the hush.

Tokio, Japan.—The Japanese battle­ ship Mikasa, Which was the Aagshi-Vof ,Vice-Admiral Togo during the B a.je of the Sea of Japan, caught Are and sank. The destruction of the battleship was attended with a dreadful loss of life. The Navy Department announced that the battleship has been destroyed by Arc and the explosion of her maga­ zine, causing the loss of scores of lives, including men of other ships who went to the rescue. ,The Are started from .an unknown cause at midnight. Before the officers could*be" rescued the Are reached the aft magazine, which exploded, blowing a hole in the port side of the vessel be­ low the water line, and causing the ship to sink. The destruction of Admiral Togo's Aagship, the Mikasa, has cast a feeling of gloom over Japan, which was re­ lieved somewhat by the fact that Ad­ miral Togo himself was not on board at the time of the disaster. The battleship sank in shallow .water, and it is believed she can be raised and restored to the navy.Various conjectures have been cur­ rent as to the cause of the Are. Some attribute it to an overcharge of elec­ tricity. An investigation is being held. Sasebo, Japan. — This little town, which has suddenly risen to a prom­ inent eminence since the outbreak of the war, had spent a peaceable day. Suddenly, a little after midnight, while the people were dreaming of peace after an unparalleled series of victories, which culminated in the Bat­ tle of the Sea of Japan, the quiet was violently disturbed by a terrific explo­ sion accompanied by a severe shock. A great crowd assembled on the coast only to discover that a terrible disaster had overtaken the beloved Mikasa, the Aagship of the great Togo, who led his men to victory in the life and death straggle in which the na­ tion has just been engaged. Words are powerless to describe the profound sorrow attending this great catastrophe. The absence of Admiral •Togo from the ship at the time of the explosion and the hope that the vessel can be repaired are the only redeeming features of the calamity. A deep feeling of sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers after a cessation of hostilities permeates every class. Washington, D. 0,—The Bureau of Naval Intelligence received advices by cable from the American Naval At­ tache at Tokio that the loss in killed and missing on the battleship Mikasa was over 200. The wounded numbered some 300. The cause of the accident cannot be ascertained until the Mikasa is Aoa ted. Admiral Togo was not on board at the time of the disaster. At the Battle of the Sea of Japan- Adniral Togo, as the engagement was about to open, Aew the following sig­ nal: “The destiny of our empire depends upon this action. You are all expected to do your utmost.” In that battle the Mikasa was the heaviest loser of all the Japanese ships, having sixty-three killed and wouuded. She approached nearer to the Russians than any other battleship. DEATH IN OEIiAHOMA TORNADO Two Persons Killed, Nine Injured and Several Houses Razed.

Bullet JSoters Her .TaTT-Ntirge Knocked on tlies Head—Suspected Man ArrCsted Laler Greenwich. Conn.—A masked man, probably a burglar, broke into the house Of Mrs. Antoinette Morrell, the daughter of Edmund C. Converse, early in the morning, knocked out a nurse maid with the butt of a pistol, and shot Sirs. Morrell in the jaw, disfiguring her for life. Within an hour John Brown, a hos­ tler, who has been mailing love to the Morrell cook, was. arrested, charged with the crime. The local police be­ gan looking for another man who was supposed to be in on the job.Edmund C. Converse owns a big country estate at Stanwich, a few miles from Greenwich. I-Iis daughter, Mrs. Morrell, who has been separated from her husband for a year and a half, has been living°in a house on his estate. Of late Mr. Converse has been altering his mansion. He closed it, went to live in Mrs. Morrell’s house, and rented for her the Anderson farm­ house, on the Boston road, just over the Cos Cob line from Greenwich. This is a large, old fashioned place, set back from the road and in rather a lonely situation. Mrs. Morrell lived there with Mrs. Plaisted, a companion, and four female servants. A gardener and a coachman lived in the barn, a little apart from the house. There were no men in the house at night. Isabelle Burns, a family servant, was roused by the sound of some im her room working at the fastening of her window, which opens on the roof of a back piazza. Supposing some­ thing was the matter with the children she sat upright and saw a man fumb­ ling with the catch. Miss Burns screamed at the top of her voice. The man whirled, flashed in her face a little electric searchlight, and cracked her over tile head with the butt of a revolver. She raised her hands to defend her head, when he struck her again, breaking one of her fingers. Then he turned and started Cowu the hall toward the staircase. Pandemonium broke loose in the house. Mrs. Plaisted, who slept on the second floor, toward the front of the house, was the first out of her room. As Mrs. Plaisted, running by'instinct Ioward the children’s room, popped her head above the stairs she almost ran into the burglar. He fired straight at her. It was a complete miss, hut she fell on her face from the fright of it. Just back of her. and cutting off approach from the staircase, came Mrs. Morrell. The burglar raised his gun and fired S ira ig lit i. to her face. He was so c lo se llia t the powder marked her jaw. She fell, and as she fell he gave her the buit of the pistol on the head. The b u r g la r liurdied over her, ran down (lie staircase, through the house, and banged out of the kitchen door. Tlie urn h is, vlio slept in the back part of tile house, say they heard a voice s a y in g : “Quick! Beat it," and the s o u n d of buggy wheels. Mrs. Morrell was lying in the dim light of the liall, bleeding terribly. Miss Burns, the nurse, had the fore­ thought to get to the telephone, and call up Deputy Sheriff Ritch, who rep­ resents the police force of Greenwich and Cos Cob. and a doctor. Ritch, realizing that the burglar Vunld try to get out of the region as quickly as he could, telephoned to offi­ cers along the line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford for three or four stations up and down, telling them to get to the railroad and arrest any early morning passenger whose clothes were wet. It was raining heav­ ily at the time. He sent Jack Creamer, his deputy, to hold down the Green­ wich station. At 4.20 a small, inoffensive and very wet man plodde I through the dark and wet to the station and sat down on a bench, as though waiting for the early train. Creamer looked him over, drew his gun and put him under arrest. He was taken to the town jail, protesting loudly. The police searched him and found two suspicious facts. The first was that he was drenched to the sus­ penders. He had been traveling with­ out regard to the rain. The second was that he carried on his person a letter from Kate Tierney, the MoiTell cook. It was not an incriminating document, simply a love letter with a little gossip, but it established -at once his connec­ tion with the Morrell home. He gave Ills name as John Brown, a hostler, and that was the name on the love letter. FALLS THROUGH TRESTLE. Several Passengers Injured Near Head of Tide Station in Maine. Aina, Maine.—A mixed- freight and passenger train on the Wiscaset. Wat- erville and Farmington Railroad went through a trestle near Head of Tide station. Several passengers were in­ jured, but none w ere killed. The en­ gine, mail car and a combination freight and baggage car, which com­ prised the forward part of the train, left the rails.

BURNED ALIVE IN FLAMES Retreat of Victims at Avon, Conn., Cut Off bv Firei BLAZE FOLLOWED EXPLOSION Automatic Sprinklers Prevented From Working by Burning of Belting—Valn Bfforts to Uescue Bodies—One of the Walls Falls Crushing a Number of Helpless VlcttmB Avon, Conn.—The explosion of a fuse, followed by a fire in a building of the Climax Fuse Company here, caused a panic among twenty em­ ployes in the building and resulted In the death of seven and injuries to twelve others. There was no way of coping with the flames, which spread with such rapidity that the escape of the victims was cut off. In all four buildings were destroyed, the loss be­ ing estimated at $100,000. There were sixty employes in the plant. The dead are: William Burke, forty years old, married; James Joyce, about thirty-five, married; Robert McCarthy, aged eighteen; James Wallace, whose wife lives in Springfield, Mass.; Molly McCarthy, Miss J. Sullivan and Mrs. M. B. Tucker. The exact cause of the accident is not known, but the accepted theory here is that in nn effort to burn out a stoppage in one of the machines James Joyce caused an explosion of a fuse with the hot iron he held in his hand. Those who were In the room and who came out of the place in a condition to tell about it say that the explosion was not a severe one, and ordinarily would not have caused a panic. Inflammable material near, however, was set on fire, and In a few moments the room was a mass of flames. There was a mad rush for the doors and windows, and during the scramble many were pushed back into the buildings, while others were se­ verely burned.. As one of the walls of the second largest building fell several bodies, could be seen entangled in the mass of machinery in the basement, and in a short time they were reduced to ashes. The body of a woman was seen near the edge of the fire, but the great heat frustrated all attempts to rescue it. A few rods from the group of burned buildings are two small sheds ill which fuses and powder are stored, but they escaped the flames. It was supposed that the burned buildings were either fireproof or equipped with automatic fire sprink­ lers, but on account of the burning of the belting which works the pumps, the sprinklers were rendered useless. There is no fire department In the town. Superintendent Hagsell expressed the opinion that the great mass of flame which was seen immediately af­ ter the explosion was caused by the burning of the reels on which the fuses are wound. “There was no powder In the room when the fire broke out,” he said, “and I attribute the loss.of life principally to suffocation caused by the smoke and flames which filled the room almost in­ stantly.” MAYOR OF BOSTON DIES. Patrick A. Collins Passes Away at Hot Springs, Ta. Boston, Mass--The death of Mayor Patrick A. Collins, at Hot Springs, Va., from acute gastritis,' was an­nounced here.

STATE AUDITOR PRISONER Indiana Governor Finds lefioit of !$45,000 in His Accounts. BavId B. Sbendolc Arrested After Bong Cantrpvyrsy-Beitioval First ’ PPniandedi Indianapolis, Ind.— David E. Sher- rick, twice elected Auditor of the State, was-arrested after being summarily superseded in office on the Governor’s order for “betrayal of public trust,” and Warren Bigler, of Wabash, ac­ cepted ail appoidtment a§ his success­ or: The removal followed tt long cor­ respondence, in which Sherrick ad­ mitted that he was unable to settle his account with the Treasurer of State, and virtually confessed that he had been continuously violating the law by loaning money belonging to the State for his personal profit. In a formal statement the Governor says he has beeii investigating the con­ ditions in the Auditor’s office since the last of August, having received infor­ mation that SheiTick had not made the July settlement for the State’s funds, which had accumulated from January I to July I, 1905. He immediately asked for a settlement, which was made. Tills amount was about $235,000. In addition to this the Auditor in his statement to the Governor admitted that he was at that time chargeable wih State funds paid in since the July settlement, amounting to $145,197.80, for which he filed a schedule enumera­ ting the assets he had with which to meet the amount. These items in­ cluded notes, stocks and securities amounting to $152,883.33, >of which, ac­ cording to the Governor’s letter, only $37,355.01 could be realized on. At the time that his analysis of the assets submitted by Sherrick was made the Governor formally requested Slierrick to resign. The resignation was not forthcoming. The Governor requested that Sherrick turn over to John F. Reed, the settlement clerk in the Auditor’s office, the securities enumerated, and this was done. The Governor also demanded that settle­ ment to the extent of $145,197.80 be made with the State, and again re­ quested Sherrick to resign. At noon the request had not been complied with, and it was repeated. The Gov­ ernor entered an executive order find­ ing the existence of a vacancy and ap­ pointing Bigler.Later Slierrick sent his resignation to Governor Eanly1 who accepted it and entered an order appointing War­ ren Bigler, of Wabash, to the office of State Auditor. Bigler accepted. The estimate of the deficit In Sbor- rick’s accounts was made by the Gov­ ernor on the assumption that $51,000 loaned to J. H. Murry & Co., and in­ dorsed by W. S. Wicknrd, had been secured on forged and worthless paper. Mr. Wickard declares they are genuine and perfectly good. W. S. Wickard is a son-in-law of Murry, and, as the financial agent of the lumber firm, signs all its commercial paper. He de­ clares that he went to the State House with a certified cheek to take up the notes, but found that SherrIck had been removed from office. He asserts that he will file suit against the Gov­ ernor for libel. Sherrick’s bond on file in the Secre­ tary of State’s office is for $190,000, and was furnished by the American Surety Company. The bond for his second term was made December 6, 1904, and filed January 12, 1905. It is signed by Sherrick, tlie American Sure­ ty Company, by Roscoe C. Hawkins, resident vice-president, and Ernst V. Clark, resident assistant secretary. The bond for his first'term was for $100,000, also, and was furnished by the American Surety Company. TUG HIT BY CANADIAN CRUISER. Her Captain Says He Was Fishing in United States Waters. Erie, Pa.—The fish tug W. J. McCar­ ter, of the Keystone Fish Company’s fleet, limped into port with a big hole store in her side by a shot from the Canadian cruiser Vigilant, Captain Frank Handy, of the McCarter, stated that as he was going after his nets about noon the Vigilant swooped down upon him before he was aware of her presence and fired upon him.

A GniItjr Conscience Ganged HU CobUs- i ion—Noted Case In Ohio at the Vims* *K- MinOti B. C.—With a piece of the green veil iie' h'sed thirty years ago to strangle pretty LikziO Brombaclier, uear Youngstown, Ohio, tiedt around his neck, and a paper containing his confession of the murder for jvhieh he permitted an innocent sdlll to be smothered out on the gallows pitWed to bis breast, the, dead body of Charles Herzig, a modern Eugene Aram, was found hanging from ft tree In a Se- cluded.ravine neaf this town. After thirty years of tofmeiit, dreadr Ing discovcry every moment Of ali that terrible period of time, and. haunted nightly by the face of his victim dis­torted by his strangling clutches', Her­ zig in his confession says he was be­ ginning to overcome his conscience when inexorable fate threw in his path a magazine containing the story of the crime, and tbe hanging of Charles Ster­ ling, a supposed tramp, for it. The story emphasized what was at the time regarded as the one redeeming feature in the character of the condemned man. Sterling had denied his identity to his mother when she visited him in the death cell in order that she might be spared the pain and disgrace at­ tendant upon his conviction and death. Herzig for the first time realized that the blood of two innocent persons was on his head; The fortitude displayed by Sterling, who was ft yoiifig man of good family, so impressed him that the agony he had endured for years re­ turned with renewed force, and he could suffer it no longer.A few days ago he left the house of Frank Byer, a farmer here, with whom he bad been employed. He walked into the woods a few miles away, and, choosing the most lonely and dismal spot he could find, he ended his miser­ able life, Before he started on his way to death Herzig wrote his confession. He addressed it td Byer and placed it in a soiled envelope on the table in his room, where he was sure it would be found when search for him was begun. On the outside of the envelope was a piece of paper containing the following request: “When my lifeless body is found no­ tify my mother, Mrs. Catherine Her­ zig, Girard, Ohio. The inclosed letter will reveal my identity and the awful secret of my wretched life. I could en­ dure it no longer.” In telling of his terrible crime Herzig related all the details. Following is the text of his letter: “Dear JIr. Byer—In early -seventies, Charles Sterling, a supposed fi’ainp, was tried for the murder of Lizzie Brombacher, residing near Youngs­ town, Ohio. The trial resulted in his conviction on purely circumstantial evi­ dence and he was hanged. Charles Sterling was an innocent man.“I am guilty of the murder of that young girl, and I have paid the penalty in a wretched, haunted life for many years. Her face, distorted by the strangling clutches of my then power­ ful hands, pifide stronger by the power of brutal beast passion, haunts me, and for years nightly has that face appeared at my bedside until now I am a physical and- mental wreck, who can only find relief in death, which will soon be mine. “At the time I murdered this girl I was twenty. A few weeks before com­ mitting the crime I removed with my family from Lockport, N. Y., to Girard, Ohio, where I believe my mother still lives, although I have not heard from her for years. , “I visited Youngstown one week prior to the murder with the hope of securing employment, and with a num­ ber of other men, Sterling being in the crowd, went to Poland for work two days before the woman was killed. “I was standing In a secreted place along the roadside when the girl came along unaccompanied. The devil must have taken possession of me. I grabbed her by the arm and puffed her into a cluster of bushes. She re­ fused to yield to my desires, and, clutching her by the throat, I strangled her to death, while I accomplished my purpose. “I left the body where it had died and where it was later found. Sterling passed the scene of the murder in a search for me while I was committing the awful crime. “I found him later and persuaded him to change shirts with me by offer­ ing him twenty-five cents in money. He accepted the offer. There were blood stains on the shirt from that innocent girl,-and they proved one of tbe strongest circumstances in the chain of evidence against Sterling. I was not seen in the vicinity of the spot where the murder was committed. “Sterling was arrested shortly after the crime. I fled. “My real name is Charles Herzig. I will endeavor to die in some place where my body will never be found, but if it should be, notify my mother. I make this confession that the grave of Charles Sterling may no longer be looked upon as that of a murderer.” Plot of Murder Discovered. Advices from Belgrade said that a plot for a general rising in Macedonia and the murder of King Peter and Prince Ferdinand had been discovered. Jumps Bridge to Death. Frederick W. Hansing, a .retired dry goods merchant, committed suicide by jumping from the Washington Bridge, New York City. Rioting in Yokohama.

Tbe Govern-1 nient crop experts have figured out that the corn crop will he 2.716,91S,OU bushels, though with favorable weath­ er this yield may he increased so that the crop may he close to tbe three bill­ion bushel mark. At tbe price now ob­ taining in Chicago for May corn, o? forty-four cents a bushel, tlie value™ this crop would reach 81,195,443---^- Tlie largest previous crop, harvested in 1S99, gave 2,060,000,000 bushels. i The spring wheat crop will be omj, slightly behind the record crop of lafc; when 292,-656,000 bushels of spM. wheat were harvested in the Jort west. The probable result this year18 now placed at 280.047,000 busheis. j While the wheat and corn crops are the most important in the popular e timate, there are other crops whic“ are nearly as essential to natio prosperity, and these also P™® great returns, according to the not ment report.

American Fishermen Trespassing in Cannadian Territory IitT TIiIRIEEN TIMES IN FLEEING American Pishing Steamer Has Ex­ citing Experience With Oannadian Crniser Vigilant. Erie, Pa., Special.—The fourth ot the fish tug incidents of the past week took place in mid-Lake Erie when the Canadian cruiser Vigilant riddled the big steam tug Harry G. Barnhart with small shells from the rifle on the pa­ trol boat. Captain Nick Passel, of the tug, admitted after he escaped that the Vigilant could have sent her to the bot­ tom if Captain Dunn had so desired. They ran more than eight miles un­ der full head before they crossed the boundary line and escaped from the Canadians. More than thirty shots struck the vessel, and of these 15 of the small shells landed with telling ef­ fect on the upper parts, so that the boat careened to one side with the mass of wreckage when she came into port. Having been used formerly for a pleasure steamer, the Barnhurst is of a large size and well fitted with steam equipment. The fireman, Mag­ nus Johnson, faited in the hold from over-exertion is keeping the steamer going ahead. He was reported killed, but revived after reaching shore. The fishermen were cut in the fact by splinters shot away by the bullets. The Bamhurst, according to Captain Fassel, was about five miles over the line drawing nets when the Vigilant appeared. The other Erie tugs, the Alma, Valiant and the Boyd, were closer to Uie line and ran away when the chase started. Captain Dunn’ or­ dered the Barnliurst to stop, but in­ stead of doing so, Captain Fassel put on full steam and started for the line. He took a southwesterly direction and could not be headed off by the Vigi­ lant. It has become quite the custom for the Erie fishermen to cross the line re­ gardless of strict orders from the com­ panies employing them, and having ex­ citing brushes with the Vigilance. They never think of surrender when there !is, a chance to run away. The Barn- hurst lost a large quantity of nets. T aft Leaves Por Home. Yokahama, By Cable-Seeretary of War Taft and party sailed at 3:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon for San Francisco on the steamer Korea, amid Japanese enthusiasm. A reception was given at the American consulate by Japanese merchants. Before sail ing Secretary Taft said he thought, the reports of the Japanese anti-peace demonstrations had been greatly ex­ aggerated in America. He and his party had traveled all through Japan and had found no trace of any anti- foreign feeling. While prominent Am­ ericans had been involved in a Tokio mob, he thought it was because the American party was caught in the mob, and not because they were Amer­ icans. Other churches besides Amer­ ican churches had been burned. There was several special reasons in each case, but no general anti-foreign feeling was responsible. Secretary Taft said that he had ex­ amined the Chinese boycott closely. The Chinese, he said, wanted Ameri­ can goods, and having already lost $15,- 000,000 by the boycott, were finding out that they were cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Miss Alice Roosevelt will return home on the steamer Siberia. The local situation continues quiet. All Now Quiet. Christiana, By Cable.—Peace be­ tween Sweden and Norway being as­ sured, a quiet feeling prevails here. News from Karlstadt, however, is still awaited with the keenest interest, and, there is anxiety to learn the de­ tails of the compromise. The press is unanimous in hoping for a speedy settlement of the questions. There is some misgivings entertained that peace may have been bought too ear­ ly, but all the newspapers express relief that peace has been secured, providing it is on an enduring basis. Fatal Boiler Explosion. Piconning, Miclr., Special.—By the explosion of an alleged defective boil­ er in the stave mill of Edward Jen­ nings here five men were killed and S or 10 injured. Thirty men were at work in the mill when the explosion occurred. The con­ cussion was so terrible that Windows were broken a mile from the mill. The bodies of the five men killed were bad­ ly mangled. None of the injured are thought to be dangerously injured. Prominent Man Dead. Lynchburg, Va., Special.—N. R. Bow­ man, president of the Lynchburg com­ mon council, and a prominent business man,' died Sunday morning, after a long illness. He was a Confederate soldier and for some time was presi­ dent of the Lynchburg tobacco trade. At his death he was interested in a- real estate company. He was 6!l years old and is survivder by his widow and seven children, all of whom reside here except the eldest, Walker Bowman, of "New York City. Record Entry Closed. Lexington, Ky., Special.—The entry list, which has closed, was received by the Kentucky Breeders’ Associa­ tion for the big Lexington meeting of October 3 to 14, includes 374 horses for 20 purses. These added to those kept in the stakes, brings the total entry up to 628 horses and breaks the record for entries on American trotting tracks, 'established . by the Lexington Association in 1898 by near­ ly 700 animals. RAM’S HORN BLASTS HERE are too many men pi'ay- i ing for peace with fists clenched. Do God’s work and Hewillspread your table. God’s call con­ secrates ns, but our service seals the consecration. It isworthwhile - going through alot of dust to get one diamond. Sometimes God takes away our mes­ sage that we may listen to His music. It takes more than the “ Amen” at the end to convert a jingle into an anthem. Men who shine for their own glory generally throw many gloomy shad­ows. God does not ask about, man’s at­ titude toward Him; He wants his relationship. It is a good-deal easier to criticise the Bible than it is to erystalizo it into conduct. / The enduement from Heaven may be wailing for our endowment with the things of earth. The politician may fool the people but- he meets disaster when lie defies their God. Many a man thinks he is preaching the/Gospel when he is only working off his grouch. Many a man would be much more prepossessing if lie were less anxious to Se possessing. Many a man who would make a first-rate candle is mkiiig a grand .fiz­ zle .as an arc-light. That is but an imperfect science which studies a world of effect and neglects their cause. The love , of God is the only thing that will make you love all kinds ol pepole all the time. The financial reports never take any sleep from the man whose treasures are in Heaven. Longest Bridge Span. The longest span of any bridge yet erected will be placed in the canti­ lever bridge now under construction across the St. Lawrence river at Que­ bec.

AgenL Washington, D. ft TAR HEEL CROP CONDITIONS Weather Conditions Given Ont by the Department Observer. , The. North Caroline section of the climate and crop service of -the De­ partment of Agriculture issues the following , official bulletin of weather and crop conditions for the past week: The weather has been dry with warm days and cool nights. The tem­ perature has been about * normal over the whole State except in the east­ ern part where it has been a few de­grees above normal.. The week has been very favorable for saving hay and fodder, and all outdoor work. There has been little or no rain in the west and central portions, while in the extreme east the weather has been generally fair, but some few heavy rains have occurred. The far­ mers are ready, as a rule, to plow land for wheat and oats but this has been impossible in many cases on ac­ count of the hardness of the ground. Many of the crops now need rain, particularly corn and turnips. Erost was reported in Watauga county. The cotton crop has experienced no improvement during the past week as a whole; in many places the yield is disappointing, and on the whole the crop will be fully 30 per cent, short. In the cast the cotton is still shed­ ding and taking rust in many sec­ tions; there are also reports of its being attacked by the army worm which will reduce the crop one-third in those places. Caterpillars are also doing damage to some late cotton. The weather being dry also causes it to open prematurely in some parts. In some sections the' crop improved a little during the past week, and the top crop is maturing. In the, cen­ tral part the bolls are few and small, and the lint is short; it is not ripen­ ing on top. In the west cotton is heading in all shapes and small bolls in some places; picking is general but the yield is light.' Tlie boll weevil, it is said, has made its appearance in Martin county, but in small num­ bers. Cotton is being marketed in Nash county. Tobacco is all cut and cured in the east; while in the central and west portions a great deal has been cut and curd but there ai-e some farms where cutting is only about two-thirds done. In general the leaf is good in quality and color but it lacks weight; in the western part it is firing and specking badly in places. The crop will be light, about 60 per cent. Com has improved a little during the week; but needs rain; upland com is generally good 'out bottom corn is drowned; it is earing well and ma­ turing rapidly, the crop will be short, many reporting only a two-thirds crop; there is some cutting in pro­ gress in the west. Peas are doing well as a whole, but in some places in the central and west districts* the vines are good but have few peas; a great deal of pea vine hay is now being saved in the east. Peanuts are generally reported a good crop, but in the east the crop will be short in some sections. Most of the fodder has been saved in the east, and pulling is well under way in the cen­ tral and west districts; A large quan­ tity lost by too wet weather. Hay is still being cut on a few farms in the east, and central districts while in the west a great deal is now being cut. Most all of the minor crops are doing well, except white potatoes which are rotting to a considerable ex­ tent in the ground. Sweet potatoes turnips, rutabegas, and buckwheat are doing well. Some buckwheat is now being cut. Land for wheat and rye is being plowed, and some has been planted. Pastures are reported good, and cattle doing well. Apples are fair crop in the mountain districts, but a failure in the valleys, some are being shipped. Corn crop is looking fine, and molasses making is in pro­ gress in places. North State Notes.

In tlio last week’s issue of the Mocksville Courier, in reply to what we had said about the bridges, the editor of the Courier uses the fol­ lowing language: 1WelI, w e woQld Advise oor cotemporary —meaning tlte Record—to ltiform him self on any question before he hsis anything to say thereon* Now, Mr. Courier, have we been m isin fo rm ed about these bridges? If we have, we charge you with misinforming us; for we have j»ot most of onr information from the Courier. The editor of the Eecord neverknowingly misrepreseutsany- thing through his cclnmns, and we cheerfully make corrections ot all mistakes; so, Colonel,- with your permission will make this correc­ tion leaving the blame for onr mis­ information npon you. Now, as to the tax levy, and the “cunningness’' displayed by hs, we will quote from the records: In 189G, the last year the Democratic. Board made the tax levy for Davie county, we find that it was SSi cts. on the 8100.00, or 8S.SC on each 81,000 of property; in the year 1905, under a Eepublican Board of Commissioners, we find the levy 75 cents on $100.00, or 133 cents less than the Democrats; so the man who had $1,000 worth of prop­ erty in 1S96 paid SS.SG tax and if he has $ L,000 now he pays $7,50 in tax, being$1.36 less on eieli thou sand dollars. Yes, Colonel, we are willing to look at our tax receipts, and are willing to compare records with you all through, bridges and all. In 1904 the tax levy was 72 cents, but your Board of Educa­ tion required our Camiuissioners to iucreasc the Ici ij for schools, and if we are gettiug much longer terms, or better schools we have not the information at hand. Conditions have greatly changed since 189«. The people elected a Kepublicau President in November 189«, and have continued so doing ever since, and the results have startle.1 the civilized woild. The money circulation in the United States in 1898 was $23.!=« per cap­ ita; in 1905 it had increased to $31.29 for each man, woman and child, an increase, in 7 years of $7.33 per capita, the result, of that arid woe Iegisla-ion of a Eepnli- lican Congress has made our peo­ ple prosperous anil happy. Now, Colonel, wo are going to give you some more figures from the i ecords: In 1897 the tax books show that a certain young man in Davie county gave in a poll tax only—no real or personal property —he paid a poll tax of $2.00. Iwiok at the records of 1905; that same young man has given iu; $3,162 worth of property= and his taxes are $25.71 at the levymade by' a Eepublican Board of Commis­ sioners. Now, if he was paying, under the levy of 189«—a Demo­ cratic Board—ou the same proper­ ty his taxes would be $30.03, just $4 32 more than the Enpublicans will ,cjllect out of him. Yes, we will comparetax receipts a id property too, and m my of onr people are glad to make the com­ parison, because it shows what they can do with good prices for their products atd tabor under a Ilepub lican administration. There is another phase of this question: Your legislatures have increased expenses and have sent the corporation commissioners ail over the Sfpte instructing the tax listets to increase the piiceof prop­ erty,' Noivj we believe every tax payer should pay tax ou the ieal value of his property, but if that is done the rate could be decreased, so as uot to pile up the taxes on the p:-op’e. Now, Colonel, the Eepublicans do uot object to your just criticisms but you should be fair enough-to commend them for their wise con duct of county affairs. We know a comparison with Democratic management in Davie county is not calculated to improve the health of the average Demo­ crat, for. “The devil when sick, the devil a saint would be; The devil when.well,, a devil of a saint is he.’’ has Don’t Bush It. Do not rush your cotton to mark­ et. Unless you need the money very bad do uot sell it below 11 tents, and it makes no difference bow bad you need the money do not sell below 10 cents. The cotton farmer lias the situa­ tion'in hand. Don’t get foolish and thns lose your grip. We like the idea of the farmer sitting'at home and having the buyer.coming to him instead, of h.e going to the buyer. That is about the way things stand now. The spinners must have the cotton and if the fanmer keeps a stiff upper lip he can get his own piice. Just sell enough to pay np your newspaper subscription aud the other little necessaries of lifeaud hold for not less than 10 cents.— People’s Paper, Good advice to our farmer friends —don’t rush your cotton on the market like you.did last year, and then regret it when too late. The price of cotton has gone down over half a cent in the past 30 days,— all because the farmers are selling about as fast as they pick it? Hold your cotton aud yon will get its worth. After the Jobs. Where will the Eepnbliean par­ ty get men in this State to fill those revenue jobs? Looks like it will have to draw on the Democratic party, or import- men from other States.—Chronicle. Bless your sweet sonl, honey, there will be no need of any draw­ ing, just, pnt two lines in the want- column and throw down political bars, and there will be 150 demo­ cratic- applicants froin each county within 24 hours aud tb.ey will take any old thing ,connected with the revenue department, from fire puncher at tile stilhouse up to col­ lector— People’s Paper. We suspected a sinister motive back of the Democratic papers’ de­ light over these indictments. They think, possibly, some of their num­ ber may get a slice or two of pie. They need not fret; out of the SO,- 000 Eepublicans in the State there will be no trouble in gitting Ee- p iblicans to fiil all the vacancies. Democrats are not needed yet awhile. Hoecake and Fried Oliicken. NHHhviiI A m ertctn, This year’s corn crop promises to be the largest in the world’s his­ tory. It is estimated .that it will lie 1,009.090.000 bushels greater than it was in TS97, .and that the price will be nearly- double, or abou.t fifty .cents a bushel. The crop is estimated at 2,600,000,000. bushels, which wonld be $1,300,OoO 000. The corn acreage is about 94,000,000 acres. Corn is king. Cotton, wheat, coal, steel, all must yield to America’s greatest crop. Corn is king and the heu is queen —koecakc and fried chickens. The above figures speak in thun­ der tones to the farmers. Thecorn crop has about doubled since Mc­ Kinley was elected in 1896, and the price is about double; yet, the ca­ lamity wailing Democrats are con- tiuually trying to stir up strife among the farmers and laborers. The farmers are getting their eyes open and Democracy can’t longer fool them. J. B. MASON, President. J. N. LEDPOED, Y, President. L. D. KIEKLAND. Cashier. JSank of Gooleemee, O o o l e e m e e j N .

Pekin, By Coble-A t the Pakin rail­ way station as a train carrying one of the four missions ordered abroad to leaving, a bomb was exploded inside a private car, killing four minor officials and wounding over 20 other persons. The wounded include Prince Tsal Tche, who heads the most important of the mission, and Wu Ting Pang, former minister to the United States, both of whom received slight bruises. The per­ petrator of the outrage, who was in the car, was blown to pieces. The hffiair has created a profound sensation and causes apprehension re­ garding the safety of members of the court and leading officials of the gov­ ernment. The government offices and railways are now strongly guarded. Million Dollar Fire at Butte. Butte, Mont., Special.—Pire causing a loss of $1,000,000 consumed the en­ tire business portion of Butte lying be­ tween the Shodair block and Renshaw alley on the south side of West Park street, and half destroyed the public library. The fire started in the forenoon in the Symons store, and by noon the public library and several other places were burning simultaneously. A geyser of sparks and burning shin­ gles spouted across the roofs of other buildings at a distance, starting (ires that were, however, quickly extin­ guished. The Symons building was allowed to burn and the firemen confined their labors to saving adjoining property. It was long after noon before the flames were extinguished, leaving a mass of charred and crumbling ruins. The following are the large losses: Symons store, Maulle and York blocks, owned by the New York Feal­ ty Company, $600,000. Idbrary building, $70,000. Ogdon block, $50,000. Atlantic building, $110,000. Barrett block, $50,000. Woodworth, $30,000. THE WAR ON YELLOW FEVER BEATEN AND STONED TO DAETH. Masked Mob Takes Negro Under 60- Day -Sentence From Jail at Wil- liamston, W- Va- Williamston, W. Va., Special.— Breaking into the jail here Sunday an armed and masked mob of “white ribboners” took out Moses Lovem, a negro serving sixty days for assault­ ing James Butler. Taking Lovern and James Blackburn, the only other pris­ oner, across the river in a boat, upon landing, the mob beat, whipped and- stoned Lovem until he was presuma­ bly dead. Both prisoners were re­ turned to jail. Lovem will die. Black­ burn gave the names of eight men in the mob, and Prosecuting Attorney Sbepard has issued warrants for them. City of Birmingham Floated Unin­ jured. Savannah, Ga., Special.—The steam­ er City of Birmingham, of the Ocean Steamship Company’s line, which went ashore near the mouth of the river here Saturday, was floated Sunday and came to her dock in this city city. The vessel is uninjured. She was coming from New York to sail on Tuesday with a cargo of cotton for Boston. Progress of the Yellow Fever From Day to Day, New Orleans, Special.—Official re­ port to t p. m.: New cases, 46; total to date, 2,808. Deaths, 6; total, 365. New foci, 11. Cases under treatment, 310; dis­ charged, 2,133. Saturday ended the tenth week of the fight against yellow fever in New Or­ leans with a record of cases and deaths for the day higher than expect­ ed. While there have been' a considerable number of new foci in the paist week, an examination of the maps in the office of the Marine Hospital officer does not disclose any extensive spread of the disease. Many of them repre­ sent merely the crossing by the disease from one side of a street to the other. As the cases arc promptly reported, however, the inspectors are able to tag them Immediately and take due precautions to prevent a spread of the infection. If the present rate of progress is kept up, the State hoard of health be­ lieves that yellow fever in the country parishes will disappear almost as soon as in New Orleans. • Lake Providence, which was a hot­ bed of fever two weeks ago, is rapidly driving out the disease. For the fourth day, all the new cases at Tallulah are negroes. Seventeen cases are under treatment in the Barataria district. In central Louisiana picking and moving of cotton is somewhat handi­ capped for the want of sufficient labor. Owing to fumigation requirements, ginners are having some trouble in getting cars. Work was resumed Saturday on the levee front. The settlement decided on by Adam Lorch, the arbitrator, was accepted by both sides and there will he no more cotton labor trouble dur­ ing the present season. The country reports were not differ­ ent from the usual run, Dr. Shayot, of Plaquemines parish, reported the trou­ bles he was having with the Italians on Poiute Celeste plantation and said that they had barricaded themselves in their houses and warned ail doctors that they would kill the first one who attempted to enter. The civil authori­ ties were consulted and it was decided to put the whole plantation under strict quarantine until the fever had risap-nonvAfl end 4Lam ii. ---- Many Newsy Items Gathered From all Sections. Charlotte Cotton Market. peared and then proceed against them criminally. Against Greene and Gaynpr. Montreal, Special. — A decision against Colonel J. P. Gavnor and Cap­ tain B. D. Greene, the American con­ tractors wanted In the United States on charges of defrauding the govern­ ment, was handed down by Judge Ouiment in the Court of the King’s Bench. It is the general belief among legal men that Greene and Gaynor have reached the limit of their re­ sources in fighting against extradi­ tion. The defense still has two weeks in which to bring further proceedings to act as a stay. The decision given today was on a writ of habeas corpus based upon the content that Judge La Fontaine, the commissioner who held them for extradition, had no authority to act in the case. .

The tables containing the fruit are draped in red bunting, giv­ ing a splendid color effect to the en­ tire room and surroundings. The ex­ hibit of Mr. Guastavino, proprietor of the “Rhododendron Farms,” is elab­ orate. The showing of vinegar, cider and cider ehampaigne, manufactured on the farms, is splendid. Apple raising in Western North Carolina is becoming annually a more pronounced industry. Acording to information re­ ceived here the apple crop this year will amount to thousands and thous­ ands of barrels. The fruit is of a superior quality and good prices are being obtained. Apple growers in Buncombe and Haywood counties as well as other counties in the western section, have commenced shipping their fruit and some difficulty is ex­ perienced in securing barrels. A small barrel factory near Waynesville with a capacity of only 300 barrels per day, is disposing of the product faster than the barrels can be made. A gentleman returning from there said that Haywood county farmers wmre OLying for barrels and that the Waynesville factory w’as unable to supply the demand. There is said to be an excellent opening in this section of the State for a barrel factory and already several parties have the matter of establishing such a factory under serious consideration.

The North Caroline section of the climate and crop service of the De­ partment of Agriculture issues the following official bulletin of weather and crop conditions for the past week: The weather for the past week was characterized by Warm days and coo! nights; but the mean temperature for the week has been about normal. The only rain of any consequence fell on the 13th and 17th and was very beneficial to all crops. The weather in general has been very favorable for picking cotton, saving fodder, meadow and pea vine hay. Farmers in all parts of the State have been ready to plow land for fall planting Irat- the ground has been too dry in most places; in some few places, how­ ever, some wheat, rye and oats have been sown. There has been no improvement in the eotton crop during the past week. The warm, dry weather caused it to open rapidly, and in Some places pre­ maturely. The crop will nowhere be more than, fair, and in places it will be very light. It is generally re­ ported that there will be no top crop oiring to shedding; many correspon­ dents state that the bolls are small and the lint short; in south-central counties and in the extreme north­ eastern portion the bolls are opening prematurely, owing ao rust; army worms are doing considerable damage to late eotton in Beaufort, Craven, Jones' and Duplin counties. Tobacco curing, is completed in the eastern portion of the State. In the central district the crop is reported improved and in good condition, ex­ cept iu Rockingham county where some tobacco is badly burnt and spected; cutting and curing is in progress and the tobacco is curing well; the color and texture are good, but the leaf light weight. In the western portion some slight damage by worms is reported. Corn improved during the past week, but late corn in some places suffered from drought, and some cor­ respondents report that it will not ma­ ture; a poor crop is expected in the eastern, while the prospects are for good crops in the western and central portions. Fodder has been about all secured in the eastern and central dis­ tricts; in the west cutting is in pro­ gress. The saving of pea vine hay is under way and good yields are be­ ing secured. Clover was benefitted by the rains and is looking good." White potatoes have improved and digging is in progress in the west; sweet potatoes are doing well and a good crop is promised. Peanuts, turn­ ips and beans are generally reported good; cabbages are poor; the sorg- Iiam crop is in goood condition and in places molasses making is under way. The buckwheat crop will be good. Apples are reported good in some of. the western counties, but there is complaint of dropping and of dry rot. Pastures are fair. The following rains have been re­ ported: Raleigh,' 0.10; Goldsboro, 1.12; Greensboro, 0.22; Lumberton, 0.56; Newbern, 3.88; Weldon, 1.18.— A.' H. Thiessen, Section Director. Books For State Library.

Chicago.—The first triumph Of the Government’s prosecution of the Beef Trust, a triumph that carried dismay, into the ranks of the indicted million­ aire violators of the Elkins Rebate law, was completed before Judge J, Otis Humphrey in the United States Dis­ trict Court, when tile four indicted members of the Schwarzsehild & Sulz­ berger Company pleaded nolle conten­ dere to the indictments and threw themselves on the mercy of the court The four packers who admitted thgir guilt and left to Judge Humphrey the power of sentencing them to as high a penalty as two years in jail or a heavy fine, are as follows: Samuel Weil, of New York, vice-pres­ ident of the company.. B. S. Cusey, traffic manager. Vance D. Skip worth and Chess E. Todd, assistant traffic iflanagers. Mr. Weil was fined- $10,000, the other three $5000 each. The fines carried with them the pro­ vision that the defendants be confined in jail until the money was paid, but in these cases it was an idle provision, for scarcely had the penalty been anT nounced when Max Sulzberger, his sense of relief that it was not worse betrayed by his smiling face, drew a check for $25,000 In full settlement of all four fines. The defendants Jhen en­ tered their carriages and were driven away. The plea that has thrown the pack­ ers upon the mercy of the court was made by Attorney J. K. Boyesen. He declared that the physical condition of Vice-President Weil (who is sixty-five years old) was suclrthat the strain of a trial would jeopardize his life. It is understood that the plea was entered with the full consent of Attorney-Gen­ eral Moody, who was apprised of the condition of Mr. Weil. These four men were not indicted for violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust law’, as were the nineteen other indi­ vidual packers and the five corpora­ tions. They were charged With a con­ spiracy to secure and accept rebates from railroads over which their pack­ ing products were shipped.- .It i,s by no means certain that other packers will escape a jail sentence. MISS ROOSEVELT IN SEOUL. Rides Triumphantly in Yellow Palan­ quin to the Legation. Seoul, Korea. — Through streets crowded with white-robed Koreans and lined by the imperial bodyguard standing at “present arms,” Miss Alice Roosevelt, riding in the imperial yel­ low palanquin, triumphantly passed from the railroad station to the Amer­ ican legation. The roadways had been freshly paved and the shops draped with the Korean an4' hand-painted American Sags. Miss Roosevelt, Rear-Admiral Train, Senator and Mrs. Newlands, the Misses Boardman and McMillin and Represen­ tatives Lougworth and Gillette arrived at Chemulpo during the afternoon.

The court chamberlain met the pa-rty at a halfway station on behalf of the Emperor, with inquiries .Vs to Miss Roosevelt’s health. On arrival in Seoul the party was hailed by a Korean band, which played the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Korean policemen and Jap­ anese gendarmes guarded the roadway, and grotesquely clad retainers bore long lanterns. The passage of the party along the streets was everywhere heralded by the bugles of the troops. Miss Roosevelt and Mrs. Newlands were guests of the American Minister The rest of the party stayed in-the imperial palace. PAUPERS IN KNIFE DUEL. Bloody Fight to Death Stoppfed by Keeper.

George Ford Tliooslit Ho Would Sato Hi* J)ear Oues From Wautf as He Imagined Himself l’oor* Vevay, Ind--Slaying his wife and three children iu a frenzy of lunacy, George Ford, one of the most prosper­ ous farmers in Switzerland County, Who imagined himself a poor man, bound the bodies to beds iii the second story of his handsome home, eight miles from this town, then set fire to the house and speedily transformed it into a funeral pyre for his four vic­ tims. Mrs. Ford’s body, terribly black­ ened, was found at the foot of her bed. The bodies of her children—Everett, fourteen years old; Ernest, twelve,-and Ruby, eight—lay in an adjoining room. AU the little ones were burned so frightfully that only by their sizes could their bodies be distinguished. They lay In a triple embrace, as if they had died in one another’s arms. Yet, from indications found on the bod­ ies,the children must have been killed separately. Eord’s insanity was apparent from his conduct even before the awful fate -of his family was learned. He stayed under his own roof until the flames burst through and neighbors hastened to‘the place from miles around. Then he half staggered out of the house, muttering to himself. It was bit by bit and by slow’ degrees that the horrified neighbors obtained from him the story of his four-ply crime. He was not too crazed to recall his deed, and he ap­ peared to be pathetically proud of it. The farmer suffered exceedingly from delusions for weeks preceding the murder of his wife and children. His chief hallucination was that he was in extreme financial difficulties, and that his household must retrench close to the starvation point. At times when Mrs. Ford knew he had a large balance in bank he forced her and their young­ sters Jo live on a diet that would have been scorned by the humblest laborer in his employ. The fact is that Ford grew richer year after year—thanks still to the foresight of his wife, who advised him in his investments. The man dreaded the poorkouse, and was haunted by the fear of going there. The deed w’as gone about with pre­ meditation, and it is thought that he had been planning it for/weeks. There also is reason to believe he was jeal­ ous, without cause, of Mrs. Ford, and that-he planned the wholesale destruc­ tion from two motives. Mrs. Ford Was forty years old, Ford fifty. It required eight men to overcome Ford when it became apparent that he was insane and had killed his family. NO BOSS TICKET FOR QUAKERS. Philadelphia City Party Names Anti- Machine Candidates. Philadelphia, Pa,—In a convention which was without parellel in Phila­ delphia’s history for enthusiasm, earn; estness and untrammelled- freedom, the city party, representing every phase of good citizenship—workingmen, bank­ ers, merchants, lawyers; manufactur­ ers, churchmen—nominated a county ticket which stands for Mayor Weav­ er’s administration and for the rightis of, $he people as against what Secre­ tary Root called the “corrupt and crim­ inal combination masquerading as Re­ publicans.” At night in another enthusiastic con­ vention the Democrats, without at­ tempting a deal or asking a favor, and without having one of their own party on the ticket, unanimously indorsed the candidates of the city party a,nd pledged themselves to make common war against the Durham-McNiehol- Penrose gang.

ALEX,'McLEAN Uuclb Saiu H&3 Beeu AfU?? aim Bor Many Months For Felaslc Sealing, Bat He Frades Arrest by Chang­ ing the Name of His Vessel an I J lying a Foreign Flag. Washington, D. C.—Captain Alexan­ der McLean, the only known living American buccaneer, who sailed the Pacific with a crew made up of men said to be as “choice a band of rob­ bers and cutthroats as have manned a pirate craft sjnce the days of Captain lvldd,” has been arrested in A1Ictoria, B. C., by the Canadian authorities. This hews was very gratifying to the officers of the Departmtnt of Com­merce. JIeLean lias been indicted in San Francisco on a charge of conspiracy in fitting out tlio schooner Cannencita in tiolation of the sealing laws. The Americaa Federal authorities have been after him for many months, and it took the combined efforts of four ex­ ecutive departments to iand.him. Complaint against McLean of pelagic scaling was made to the Department of Commerce several months ago. Tlie case was submitted to the Department Oi Justice. Later McLean was indict­ ’d. Efforts were made for a long time to catch him, but they iveve futile, then Chief IYilkie, of the Secret Ser- \ ice. was asked to help out. Information reached here a week or so ago that McLcan and his crew Avore anchored near Yictoria. A revenue cut­ ter was sent after him. 'The Attorney- General handed down an opinion that McLean’s offense was not extraditable, and then the officials decided to resort to diplomacy. Negotiations were opened up with the Canadian authori­ ties, with the result that McLean was arrested, and he will be handed over to representatives of the United States at once. He will be taken to Sau 1-rancisco and there tried on the in­ dictment returned against him more than a year ago. Captain JIcLean has had an exciting career. He was master of a ship known as the Carmencita, sometimes of San Francisco and sometimes of other ports. Tlie Carmencita had ho regular abiding place except the high °is. Accoi-diug to information in the hands of the Department of Commerce JIeLean has been engaged for at least a year in unlawful sealing in the Ber­ ing Sea and adjacent waters. But lie was not to be caught easily. He was aware that the law provided that the United States may take into custody any American vessel detected in un­ lawful sealing or suspected of operat­ing in violation of the law. After the authorities began looking for the pirate crew under the command of JIcLean that worthy changed the name of his vessel. She was regis­ tered under the Mexican laws, flew the JIexican flag, and was called the Aca­ pulco. The United States authorities could not lay hands on a vessel of a foreign nation and JIcLean1 well satis­ fied with his cleverness, sailed to the prohibitive zone and slaughtered seals in season and out of season. On his last trip he brought back 250 skins, which were offered for sale in Victoria. The Mexican registry of the Acapulco was a complication that seriously bothered the officials here for a while, but the matter was finally adjusted through diplomatic channels, and JIc- Liean will soon be back in San Fran­ cisco. The search for McLean was begun In May, 1904. His movements were known a greater part of the time, but his course in his pelagic sealing cruises was conducted so cleverly and with such sharp observance of the letter of the law that it is said lie made these very technicalities cover his alleged evasions. From Seattle there sailed a few days ago a revenue cutter, whose command­ er was instructed to capture the pirate craft and to make her strike the “Jolly Roger” if the Acapulco displayed it. The officers and men of the revenue cutter spent hours cleaning their pis­ tols and polishing their swords, and had visions of a hand-to-hand encoun­ ter with the pirate chief and his crew. But they were disappointed, as Cap­ tain McLean and his gang were placed under arrest in Victoria. The men and the ship will be turned over to the United States for whatever action this Government deems proper.According to reports received here, Captain McLean has. been guilty of pi­ ratical acts other than killing seals in violation of law. At one time lie.is said to have fought a ln-ief engage­ ment with a Kussian war vessel, in which he was wounded. JIcLean had another encounter with the natives at Copper Island, near Unalaska. The authorities here attach great impor­ tance to the capture of idcLean, and every effort will be mace to punish him to the full extent of the law.

McCall, president of the New York Life'Insur­ ance Company, was ou the rack of the legislative investigation for nearly two hours and a half. Ho denied that the New York Life ever had made political campaign con­ tributions during the period of his presidency, except in the three in­ stances which jfr. Perkins had al­ ready detailed, and lie could not ex­ plain to what account these donations had been charged to. He volunteered the additional state­ment that Alton B. Parker, when Dem­ ocratic Chairman in this Stdte, had never missed a chance to collect cor­ poration money for campaign purposes, and that even during the National cam­ paign of last year the Parker mana­ gers—among them Some of the very men recently quoted as his critics— had been a source of continual annoy­ ance to him. dogging- him jiiith their solicitations for money. Mr. JIcCall denied with vehemence that a dollar of the New York Life's money had ever been used, with his knowledge, In tlio effort to influence legislation in this or any other State, but admitted that hundreds of thou­ sands of dollars of the company’s money had been advanced solely on his order to Andrew Hamilton, of the New York Life's law department,- and that JIr. Hamilton represents tlio company in “legislative and taxation” matters in the various States of this coun&y as wuli as in Canada. Mr. Hughes brought out admissions that $235,000 thus advanced remains uiiaccomited for, and that it is custom­ary for JIr. Hamilton to report his ex­ penditures exclusively to JIr. McCall, who takes Mr. Hamilton's receipts as vouchers. The witness admitted that the company has on record no vouch­ ers for any of these expenditures made by him and lias not had since the be­ ginning of “Judge” Hamilton’s con­ nection with it. Sums aggregating this amount, $235,- 000, were charged to the home office annex account with the exception of $00,000 which was carried in the “sus­ pense account.” The payments to An­ drew Hamilton, aggregating $235,000, were made between December, 1903, and JIarcb, 190!.. Just as Mr. JIcCalI was about to ba excused for the day he asked t!.ie priv­ ilege of correcting the popular impres­ sion as to his large wealth. He said that he is not ill the millionaire class; that the greater part of his estate, if lie were to die to-day. would consist of his life insurance, and that he had never personally participated in one of the many underwriting syndicates in which the New York Life had realized large profits. During the entire portion of the ses­ sion District Attorney Jerome was an interested listener. President MeCall in his testimony took the question of political contribu­ tions boldly by the horns. He defended his three contributions of $50,(100 each to the BepubIican national campaigns of 1896, 1900 and 1904 on the ground that he was working for the success of the gold standard. Mr. JIcGail ad­ mitted he did not consult the' policy­holders about contributing ,to the Roosevelt campaign fund, adding, “I didn’t care what they thought.” In answer to !Ir. JlcCall’s charges that he had been “worn out” with the frantic appeals of the campaign man­ agers of ex-Judge Alton B. Parker to contribute New York Life Insurance money to the Democratic campaign fund, former Judge Parker says: “It is evident Mr. JIcCall was laboring under great excitement in making his reply, for it is very incoherent. But if his answer is intended to convey the impression that in the campaign of 1904 I, either directly or indirectly, so­ licited- from him or his corporation, or any other corporation, any money or valuable thing, his statement is abso­ lutely false.” President Roosevelt called to a con­ sultation in Oyster Bay Secretaries Root and CorteIyou1 Senator Lodge and Joseph H. Choate. They discussed the use of corporation money In cam­ paigns, and it is declared that Presi­ dent Roosevelt believes that to avoid a far reaching scandal the $48,000 col­ lected from tile New York Lite In the last campaign should be z-estored.. " WITBOIS TAKE A CONArOY. GIPSIES DEPOSIT $20,00«. German Escort AYiped Out and Thou­ sands of Cattle Captured. Cape Town.—It is officially an­ nounced that the AVitbois, evading the sweeping columns of General von Trotha, commander in chief in Ger­ man Southwest Africa, surprised a German convoy near Keetinannsboop, Namaqualand, practically annihilated its escort and captured thousands of cattle, 122 wagons, many rifles and. a quantity of ammunition. Leave Their Thumb Prints at the Bank For Identification. Chicago, 111.—Carrying the money in gunny sacks, nine gipsies visited the First National Bank and deposited $20,- 000, most of which was ill currency. Each depositor pressed his thumb and fingers on an inked card and then left an impression with the cashier for identification. AU the gipsies were poorly clad. They had ended a horse trading season.

Movement to Organize and Affiliate AArItli Ameriean Federation of Laboi-. Chicago, 111. — Farmers of Illinois. Wisconsin, Indiana and other adjacent States may affiliate with the American Federation of Labor at the coming con­ vention of that body, to be held in No­ vember. The project is finding much favor in AYisconsin, according to re- povts brought from that State by Jos. AAC JIorton1 a Chicago labor leader, who will be a delegate to the conven­ tion. JIr. Morton says the farmers are en­ thusiastic over the plan to organize and control the prices of their pro­ ducts. The unionizing the farmers is being done under the name of the American Society of Equity, and the uniting of tlie farmers with the Ameri­ can Federation of Labor if accom­ plished wilt be done through delegates sent to the convention. The farmers plan to cut out the middleman and his profit wherever possible, and to get the benefit' for themselves. The American Society of Equity is working along So­ cialistic lines. Tobacco Crop a Bonanza. The tobacco growers of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, are realizing unprecedented returns this year. It is estimated that fully 14.000 acres of to­ bacco. were planted, and, as the season has been a perfect one, the cleanest as well as the largest crop in years has been gathered. Practically all of the 1905 crop has been housed, and fully sixty per cent, of it has been pur­ chased, the average farmer receiving from twelve to fourteen cents. Good News From Metal Trades. Each week brings better news from the iron and steel industry, demand broadening and production keeping pace. Unprecedented Demand For Steel. Mills manufacturing structural steel have been receiving contracts at the rate of nearly 1000 tons a day since September I. This indicates that the building trade is unusually active. The almost unprecedented demand for steel is a guarantee that the wave of pros­ perity has not yet begun to recede. U G H T IN G l o r e . Pacific Wheat Crop.

The satisfactory lighting of suburban and country homes requires that the means used shall be convenient, safe, economical and furnish a bl-illian't, pen­ etrating, effulgent light. Everybody admits that these are not the characteristics of the candle or kerosene lamp, which, formerly, were the only feasible means of producing light for domestic use In the rural dis­ tricts. For generations there was a crying need, a yearning for something bettei-, ' which was not satisfied. A few years ago deliverance came In the shape of the chemical compound, Oalcium Car­ bide, from which, by the simple appli­ cation of water, the gas Acetylene is derived. Acetylene meets all the re­ quirements fully and admirably and is being generally used. Common lime and carbon in the form of coke or coal are the raw materials which, fused in an intensely heated furnace, make Calcium Cai-bide, and •there is no difficulty in obtaining it In any part of the country. The machine into which the Calcium Carbide is fed and from which the Acetylene is distributed through the building to be lighted, is but little larg­ er than a thirty-gaUon mUk can, and of the same general form. It is easUy and cheaply installed, either In the cel­ lar or in an outbuilding. The light from burning Acetylene is exquisite, and lighting experts agree that it surpasses all other, known illu- minants. It does not taint the. ah- nor strain the eyes, and is not objection­ able in any respect. Every up-to-date rural residence should be equipped .with Acetylene light Does It Pay7 The nervous man had just met his Mend, who for some months past had been in retirement for his health. “I have sometimes thought it might be a good thing for a man to go away for awhile,” he said, “and to get cured perhaps of habits that were gaining too strong a hold on him. I changed my opinion on the second part of that proposition, however, after I had an evening with a friend of mine who had just come back from a course of treat­ ment. “We were together in a cafe for an hour or more. During all that time he would, of course, not take a drink Such a thing never occurred to him. But he would take some coffee. I think I had two highballs while we talked. I know he had seven pots of black coffee. There didn’t seem to be much doubt that he had gotten over one habit. He had acquired an­ other, however, that made it seem a stand-off whether he had gained by the change.” Mothers k n " ! THEIR HEALTH RESTORED Happiness of Thousands of Homes Dus to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound and Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice. A devoted mother seems to listen to every call of duty excepting* the su­ preme one that tells her to guard her health, and before she realizes it some derangement of tho female organs has manifested itself, and nervousness and irritability take the’ place of happi­ ness and amiability. jMvs. P h M o ffin a n Tired, nervous and irritable, the mother is unfit to care for her chil­ dren, and her condition ruins the child’s disposition and react3 upon herself. The mother should not be blamed, as she no doubt is suffering with back­ ache, headache, bearing-down pains or displacement, making life a burden. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­pound is the unfailing cure for this condition. It strengthens the female organs and permanently cures all dis­ placements and irregularities.

Instrument Shows Heart’s Action Dur­ ing Muscular Work and After. A recent pubUcation of the Univer­ sity of'Michigan describes an instru­ ment for securing a continuous gra­ phic record of the pulse rate in man which afford valuable indications of the heart’s work. The records showed that the commencement of muscular work is followed almost simultaneous­ ly by a marked acceleration of the pulse. In fact, this modification of the pulse rate is observed in the next heart cycle after the work begins. In typical cases there are three well- marked stages—a primary rise, a period of sustained acceleration and a secondary rise. Similar stages of de­ crease in rate occur after the work stops. The rapidity of the pulse dur­ ing work depends not only upon the amount of work done, but. much more upon the manner in which it is done. Speed and resistance are factors re­ quiring separate consideration and of these two speed has the greater in­ fluence. These records show that while mus­ cular work may not appreciably re­ quire the expenditure of bodily force it immediately reacts upon the heart and that conversely cessation of mus­ cular exertion is an immediate relief to the heart View of Happiness. I have been trying to figure out a general condition of happiness, and I reach the conclusion that it consists mainly In the abiUty to march with one’s own generation, neither deplor­ ing the progress the generation makes nor grumbling because it doesn’t make more, says Frank Putnam in the Na­ tional Magazine. We can understand best the men and women of our own age, or near it. Dr. Osier spoke truth when he said that most men cease to be receptive to new ideas after 40; hence our elders in the 50s and 60s and 70s, say, who have ably guided the affairs of the world during the decades immediately ahead of us will often seem to us to mave less rapidly than we think they should, toward new industrial conditions. And the generation immediately behind us— the restless chaps in their 20s, are putting more pressure upon us from the rear than we are able to believe is wholly justified. FIT3permanently cured.
