Jaynes came here from the mountains of

the occupation of hunting for a living. He
never got very much ahead, but managed
to.eke cut good living for himself by the

him from his old home the art of making
snake oil, and sold several pints during
each season to the various druggists in
this part of the state, and always got a
good price for it, as it was Of an excellent
quality.
The rocks ofthe Ozark mountains abound
with rarJiesnakes, and it was not long be-

The Belle ROtstOrd Companies
Musical Concert.

The audience at the Southern Business
college last evening started out with the
evident intention of giving every member
of the Belle Botsford Concert company
an encore. The performers tried to
ward it off by coming to the door and
simply bowiDg their acknowledgements
OF the applause, but the people would
have none of that. The small part of
Asheville that was on hand was music
hungry and insisted very strongly in
doubling the program.
The hail of the college while much too
large for the audience, was smaller than
a perfect enjoyment of the music would
have dictated. In many instances the
volume of sound was so much larger
than the room that the effect drowned
much of the harmony. Taken alto.
gether, though, the concert was a treat.
Miss Salome Thomas, an old friend of
Asheville music lovers sang solo after
solo in response to the imperative ap-
plause of the audience. Her voice is
rich soprano, wonderfully clear and
sweet. and she had it in perfect control,
modulating it to suit the size of the hail
with little apparent effort. Miss Thomas
was equally at home in Won Lennex's
"Spanich Balero" and in that everyday
song" | once had dear little doll. dears"
or Coming through the Rye"
Miss Botstords violin seemed to be
part of her nature, so gently, and yet
so powerfully did she handle the bow.
Added to this was a delightfully."- unaf-
iected stage manner, and the combina.
ton quite won her audience. Miss Bots
ford plays with great sweetness of touch
and was recalled each time. Miss Grace
Bullock, with her less popular instru-
ment, the violincello, had two solos, and
what surprised the audience, was that
she was able to bring so much music as
she did from the heavy strings. 1t was
a marvel of melody, showing exceeding
skill, and Miss Bullock was applauded |
in way that mGst have been gratifying.
Mr.. David Lythgoe's strong baritone
voice was not shown to the best advan-
tage because of the size OF the room, but
its richness and melody were highly
pleasing. In the duet with Miss Thomas
he was more fortunate than in any other
number, the two voices blending with
splendid effect and calling forth an encore.
MIR. Glider made friends of the audience |
at the start by his piano solo, although
he stopped in the middle of it and looked |
around to see who was doing so much |
talking. This had the effect of bringing
on a silence that could be felt. Mr. |
Glider rendered selection of his own
composition and showed great familiar
lty with the keys. He was accompanist |
for the vocalists and violinists.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The Secretary
of the Interior has received a letter ad-
dressed "Uncle Sam," and its contents
provoked much amusement. The cor
respondent was a widow from little
town in Ohio. She said she had lived a
widow for thirty years, and at her age
found it too lonely. Therefore, she asked
whether he would not put plank into
her pension certificate that would enable
her and any other widow who had lived
single since 1862 to marry, and at the
same time to keep her pension. She
added that she was too old, plain, and
poor to get man able to support her
as well as her pension could, and conse-
quently must take such as she could get.
She concluded by asking that the Secre-
tary give the matter prompt attention,
under the threat that size will weary
him with many more such" il he does

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-More money has
already been paid out in creating the
Worlds Fair than the directors thought
would be necessary to complete it when

Chicago. Ten million dollars was

$12,460, ,236 61. The receipts have been
$l3, ,229, ,451.9S. The available balance
on hand December was $500, ,O6S. .33,
about enough to last two weeks at the
present rate of expenditures, but the
souvenir coins are coming soon and the
directors have nearly 100000 yet il
exposition bonds from which no capital
has been received.
