DR.. sargens's Model Woman.

DR.. Dudley Sargent, physical director
in Harvard university, is well pleased
with his average woman" He declares
that some people have wrong idea as to
what the model means.
People" said the doctor, "think that
it is my perfect woman, while in reality
it is woman so per cent removed from
the perfect woman"
AS type Of Harvard girl the doctor
thinks the model is encouraging. Com
pared with other American types, he
thinks it is better and that it compared
favor nfi,y wi.ar ta.~ -a.~rs,fe1r os.au vU1Ic1
classes engaged in physical labor.
He also believes that it shows up well
in comparison with the average mala
figure, but he does not think it makes SO
good a comparison with the average
young married woman, who may be said
to belong to a picked class.
DR.. Sargent declines to give the meas
urements Of the figure, as he proposes to
take the matter up scientifically in the
near future and demonstrate several i'm
portant questions bearing upon tie sub
ject.
The doctor says that 100 years from
now such figure, SO far as actual value
to the human race is concerned, will be
invaluable.--Boston Letter.

English Critic and American Actress.

English Critic and American Actress.
take Ada Rehan as my type of TRACE
dy. BY this I mean that she is the high
est expression Of serious art. In reality
she is far moro than that. She is at once
q tragic and comic actress. She has the
light humor Of the vaudeville stage and
the style that no living English actress
possesses at the present day. Of Ada
Rehan / have said before, and I have no
desire to recall my words, that she Is far
the finest English speaking actress in the
world. This is large order, but mean
it. And mean it more when I find her
In the plenitude Of her artistic strength
and by far better actress now than
when + last saw her in London. This
bright butterfly Is bursting out of the CO.
coon Of German and French farce in
which she has been buried for too many
years. And feel assured that when she
spreads her wings America will not al
low her to go back to the mere triviali-
ties Of the playhouse.
Ada Rehan is great artist, far too
great for door and window, rough and
tumble farce. An actress who can play
Katherine and Viola and Rosalind and
Letitia Hardy and Julia as she can should
not be allowed to waste her time and
gifts on the spoon milk Of the stage.
The dramatic art Of any country waits
upon its artists. We cannot attempt the
highest art without the greatest inter-
prefers. Shakespeare and Goethe must
go back to the bookshelves If the inter-
preting artists are not forthcoming.
They must never 60 back there when
genius is at hand.-Clement Scott in Chi

Gold In the Trabuca Canyon-The CItv
Lighting.
SANTA ANA, July 9.-From the classic
precincts Of Trabuca cafion, up where
they raise fine horses and the sweetest
honey. comes a tale Of rich gold fields.
AS the story goes, In the early days
back in the times when the Santa Ana
valley was one vast cattle range, the
early settlers mined gold in that section
with great profit to all concerned. The
story does not 60 on and tell why min
ing operations ceased there, but cease
they did, nevertheless.
Now comes Jack Landell and Felipe
Yorbs, who say that from an old
Mexican they have secured knowl-
edge OF the exact location of the fields of
shining metal, and they expect ere
many suns have gone down to be met
with riches that will completely put in
the back ground the wealth Cortez
found when he entered the land Of the
Montezum as.
Gold has been found in many places
IN Orange county, and among these is
tnat part Of the Trabuca caflon. where
the .prospectors will 20 to work. The
mining interests of the county are look.
ing up considerably now, and several
men are in the hills prospecting. Some
are in search of gold, others looking for
cinnabar, and still others in search of
anything that may prove valuable.

LET US HAVE LIGHT.
The ely trustees have decided to close
of the gas lamps on our public streets
and thoroughfares, and have also shut
down on four OF the city's electric
lights. The reason given is for lack Of
funds. This city either needs street
lamps or streets, one Of two things. and
some other way of economizing should
be hit upon rather than doing awav
with any of our few street lamps. The

THE PRATHER STORY.
Supposed False Narrative About q
Dead Millionaire.


A Supposed False Narrative About q
Dead Millionaire.
Chief OF Police Glass has lately been
investigating story which seems to be
the foundation OF new eastern conf
dence game.
A few days ago the chief received q
letter from @. W. Prather, one of the
chiefs old friends and merchant of
Anderson, Indiana.
The letter stated that the writer had
lately seen several dispatches in the
eastern papers tpurporting TO be from
Los Angeles.
These dispatches stated that one Abb
ner Prather had recently died in Los
Angeles, leaving fortune of several
million dollars. The bogus telegram
went on to say that the fortune be-
came the subject of lawsuit in
the Los Angeles courts and resulted
in the decision that the fortune
would 60 to one of the deceased's
cousins. The dispatch also stated that
the deceased Abner Prather had rela-
tives in Anderson, Indiana. As Mr..
Prather lives in that city he naturally
came to the conclusion that the de-
ceased Abner was one of his relatives,
and asked Chief Glass to investigate.
The chief did go with the result that
he discovered no such person as Abner
Prather had ever lived or died in this
city, and had never even been heard of.
In a chat with reporter yesterday,
Chief Glass stated that the whole thing
was fake started by some slick conf
dence operator who would take the
newspapers publishing their bogus tel
egram, to their intended victim, and
posing as members OF the legal profess
eion would induce the victim to put up
his coin for their prospective services.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-06-27

to transact his own business and pro
tect his own interests. Supply depots
are being established, and the middle
man will find his field of operation
narrowing.
But this is notall The word farmer"
is fast becoming a term of reproach in
the towns and social distinctions are
fast growing up. More money has
been lost than made at farming in the
last few years, and diminished wealth
means diminished influence.
But the intelligence of our laboring
classes enables them to take advantage
of their freedom; and, at the ballot box,
as well as in commercial marts and
money centers they will retrieve their
position. Some people may smile in
derision at the heavy boots and un-
gloved hands of the sons of toll, but
when it comes to making a kick"
they generally raise something besides
a crop of buckWheat.

THE GOOD IS DOING.

If any one will show us community
where a majority of the farmers belong
to the Farmers Alliance, we will show
you neighborhood where good feeling
exists, where rarely ever a lawsuit be-
gins, where education, morality and
genuine religion is practiced as well as
preached. In short, where everything
that elevates and ennobles mankind is
the rule and not the exception, says the
Southern Mercury.
1t is admitted that joining the Alli-
ance benefits any man; that the discus
sions tend to broaden and firmly fix in
the minds of the members the moral
tone necessary to their social advance
ment. Read the declaration of princi-
pies of the Order; they are the essence
of high moral and intellectual patriot
ism. No person can be governed by
these principles without being elevated,
and in every way benefited, and in this
day of organization to spoliate the
farmers, why can't they unite to pro
tect themselves, their wives and help
less children? Why?

ANOTHER WAY TO SPEND MONEY

The last legislature made some kind
of provision to increase the salary of
county commi missioners. The magis-
trates can vote to increase the pay of
commissioners from 50 to So per day.
This has been done in Wake county and
doubtless other counties will follow
suit. The people pay for the music if
they don't get to dance. We have been
trying to find out where the extra
1911, 900 appropriated by the last legis
lature is to come from, but have failed
so far. Now where will this extra
$6, 900 or $8, 900 come from9 Will some
of the solons tell us9
