REMARKABLE RALEIGH MAN.
The Wonderful Achievements of
Blind CarOlinian Recognized.

The following truthful account of the
achievements and accomplishments of a
blind North Carolinian, is given by a
correspondent of the Scientific Ameri-
can:
Prof. John A Simpson, of Raleigh,
director of music in the North Carolina
institution for the education of the
blind, though blind from childhood, is
one of the best educated men in the
State. He is a graduate of the institu
ton he now serves, as also of Trinity
College, North Carolina, from which he
received regularly the degrees A. B. and
A. M, Notwithstanding there were at
that time, some twenty five or more
years ago, no embossed textbooks of any
value; and hence he was compelled
either to have the prescribed course read
% him, or to copy the books laboriously
by the use of an embossed alphabet. His
studies there and since were of necesSi-
ty carried on largely without the help
of teachers, and he was thus forced to
compare one authority with another and
otherwise test his own work at every
step. In this thorough manner he has
gone over the whole fed of pure mathe-
MATES, from algebra 70 quaternions,
emitting nothing and work ng out every
problem mentally. In the same way he
has mastered several ancient and modern
languages, and has by his own work &C
cumulated very valuable manuscript
library in Latin, Greek, French, German,
Italian and Spanish. His life has been
devoted mainly, however, to music, his
task being to train his blind pupils to
become teachers of the sighted, and in
this he has been eminently successful.
AS pianist Of local philharmonic So
ciety, he has accompanied entire canta-
tas, masses and oratorios without error
and with finished precision. Once, when
a schoolboy, he multiplied mentally,
without the aid of any apparatus what
ever, number consisting of twenty fig
ures by another number equally large.
AT another time he committed to mem
DRY the whole of Millions Paradise
Lost" He has frequently read very
difficult pieces of music while sitting at
the Preside and then gone to the piano
and performed them without leaving out
a note. He can readily detect, locate
and Tectify any ordinary defect in pipe
organ; take the largest and most compli-
Gated of them to pieces, repairs their
most delicate parts, and tune them to
exac. ness; and he is frequently called
upon to do such work in the city.

She was Seized by a Rufian.

Mrs. T. E. Bastable, the wife of the
telegraph operator of the NEWS AND Oh
SERVER, was passing out of the Office
Monday night about half past nine when
she was seized by a man whom she could
not distinguish otherwise than to say
that he was white. Mrs. Bastable
screamed, but the ticking of the instru-
ment prevented her being heard by her
husband. she struggled away from the
man and struck him and ran down the
street. Meanwhile, the man was fright
ened off by some one approaching.

The street.Paving Movement.

The street paving goes forward grad
ually Mr.. Sam Smith is laying side
walk on Hillsboro street. Mr.. W. B.
Mann, on Hargett street, has just laid
oRe in mont of his store Nearly all the
property owners on Hargett street, be-
tween Wilmington and Blount, have
complied with the Instructions of the
Street Committee, and laid sidewalks in

tee were going to address letter to the
Chief of Police requiring all property
owners on Hillsboro street, where the
macadam is being laid, to finish up the
sidewalks. They will also require props
erty-owners to lay sidewalks around
the capitol wherever there Is curbing
Later curbing will be required where
there is none. In other words, the
Street Committee is in earnest about
their work, and the city will be the great

SILVER CONFERENCE TODAY.
IL Will be Composed OF Democrats and
Senator Harris Will Preside.

WASHINGTON, D. G Aug. Is. -Sena-
tor Harris, of Tennessee, is the only
member of the committee which signed
the call for conference of Democrats on
the silver question, to takep place in Wash
ington to morrow, who has arrived here.
Senators Jones, of Arkansas, and Tur-
pie, of Indiana, are the other two mem
bers OF the committee, and both re ex-
pected before the opening of the con-
ference.
The meeting will be held in the parlors
of the Metropolitan Hotel and will con-
tinue one or two days Its duration de-
pending upon the Will of those present.
1t is not intended that the gathering
shall be a mass convention, but merely
a meeting of representative Democrats
of the country, to the extent Of two or three
from each State, who favor free coinage
of silver by the United States independ
ent of other nations and who believe that
the success of the party in the future is
dependent upon its assuming an aggres-
sive policy on this line
The call for the Washington con
ference grew out of a meeting at Mem
phis in which only Democrats partici-
pated after the conclusion OF the recent
mass convention there and the decision
to hold it here was arrived at after a full
exchange of views that it was the best
place for securing cooperative action on
the part of silver Democrats throughout
the country. Notwithstanding there
were a number of Populists and some
Republicans present at the Memphis
convention, no repres natives of either
of these parties were invited to the con-
ference which authorized the call.
The meeting here will have two princi-
pal purposes. The first of these Will be
to devise a plan to hold all silver Demo
Gratis in the Democratic party, and the
second, to insure, if possible, declara-
ton for free coinage at the next National
Democratic Convention. To accomplish
this latter purpose it is expected that an
organization will be perfected in every
State represented in the conference,
whose principal purpose shall be that Of
securing delegates to the convention
pledged to a silver platform and to a
candidate of corresponding views. 1t is
expected that men will be selected to
take charge of this work in each of the
States.
Senator Harris thinks about thirty
States will be represented at the confer
ence. Representative Cox, of Tennessee,
is the only delegate to the conference
who has arrived at the Metropolitan.
"The object of the conference" he said,
sis to perfect an organization inside the
Democratic party. We have no sym
patty with movements looking to indie
pendent action"
At the hotel it is estimated that the
attendance will not exceed 100 persons,
and there is so far no evidence that it
will reach that number.
Senator Harris says Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, will be the temporary presid
ing officer.

WILL PAY 1T In A LUMP.
The Mora Claim TO be Paid Without
Interest in September.

MADRID, Aug. 13.-At meeting of
the cabinet ministers to day, it was de-
cided to pay the Mora claim in a lump
sum, in September, without interest.
History of the Claim.
WAsHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 13-The
Mora claim was for ahnnt 81 500 900,
and the interest amounted to about
$500, 900. 1t has been a subject Of dis
pute between the United States and
Spain for many years, and grew out of
the confiscation of the Cuban estates of
Mora, naturalized citizen of the United
States. Secretary Olney vigorously
pressed the claim on the Spanish govern
ment, and insisted on an early settle
ment of it.
Mr.. Nathaniel Paige, WHO'S Mr.. Nora
attorney here, when shown the Madrid
dispatch expressed & atifcation but said
he did not believe the United States gov
eminent would agree to the settlement
OF the claim without interest.
''To do that would, he said, "be to
fatty ignore the instructions of Con
gress, which were to collect both princi
pal and interest"
Mr. Paige added that, as Mr.. Morals
lawyer, he would be willing to accept the
81, 500, 900 representing the principal,
on account, but not as final settlement.

FIVE RIOTERS ARRESTED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. lad
vices have been received at the State
Department that Minister DENLY is CON
sulting with the British and Chinese
authorities relative to the full and com
piete investigation of the riots at Ku-

mo Americans were injured in the
recent riots, though several English
were. Five of the rioters have been ar

This is the first official information
which has been received by the legation
concerning the recent riots, and the fact
that nothing was sent until information
of the arrest of some of the rioters could
be reported, is taken at the legation to

A Query and Complaint

How is it that so many of us who, when
we first come to Florida to live, complain
about the laziness and carelessness of the
Crackers (no ofense meant) in having
everything so bare and desolate around
their homes, so soon fall into exactly the
same ways ourselves? 1t is useless to say
the climate is too enervating, because we
can 60 and work in the field and grove all
day.
I know it is hard to make things grow in
the open, but how is it the north side of
our houses are not utilized and beautiful?

creepers and small plants are growing
splendidly. They get just enough sun,

getting spindling.
A search through our hammocks will

ers, orchids. and other things that will
easily transplant to shady place and will
soon thrive. Too many seem to think that
planting in the shade of living trees is some
good, but l believe it to be the cause of a
large percentage of failure in domestic gar
dening. l think, too that quite number
of our failures arise from making our ap.
plications of fertilizer, whether it be chicken
guano, or commercial fertilizer too close
to our small and young shrubs and plants.

tree is then as easily set out as if it were
post The top is also cut to nearly the cor
responding point. leaving only small cen
trail turf bound at the base by moss to keep
the water out of the crown. Then set
stout post or two alongside, and stay the
tree thereto by mailing strips of boards from
the post to the tree.
The work of setting out is now completed
but of course the irrigator will not fail to
mention that the ground at the time OF
planting should be we'll soaked with water.
and that little hollow should be left
around the tree into which pailful or two
of water should be poured every evening
until the rain comes, or until the tree has
we'll started its new rootlets. Obviously
if the ground is naturally moist and rich
or is made so, the tree will start sooner and
grow faster than if planted on dry and bar
rem earth. But almost everywhere the
conditions can be made sufficiently good to
enable the trees to make satisfactory
growth.
The palm family is very numerous one
and there are many varieties not native to
Florida, which are perfectly hardy here,
and are most worthy of general introduce
ton Some of them are rare and costly,
but the majority are quite inexpensive if
purchased when only one or two years old

awhile. or put at once into the ground. A
little mulching or shade, fertilizing and
water, will bring them on rapidly. 1t is
great pleasure to see them grow, taking on
each year their typical forms Iceland
