OLD FORT RALEIGH.
A Memorial Erected By North Caro-
linians On It's Site

Raleigh, N. c., Dec. 3-Saturday a
memorial was erected on the site of
old Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island
in Dare county to commemorate the
first English settlement in America.
1t was erected under the auspices Of
the Roanoke Colony Memorial asso-
citation. The base is of North Caro-
lima granite and the tablet of Virginia
granite. The tablet bears the follow
ing inscription:
''On this site in August 1856, the
colonists sent from England by Sir
Walter Raleigh built the fort called
the new fort in Virginia"
The colonists were the first settlers
of the English race in America. They
returned to England in July 1886, with
Sir Francis Drake. Here was born
on the 18th of August, 1887, Virginia
Dare, the first child of English parents
born in America, the daughter of An
anias Dare and Eleanor White, his
wife, members of another body Of col
onist sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh
in 1887
Two days after her birth she was
baptized. Manteo, a friendly chief
Of the Hatteras Indians had been bap-
tized on the Sunday preceding. These
baptisms were the first celebrations
of the Christian sacrament in the ter
ritory of the thirteen original United
States.
The monument was dedicated with
appropriate religious exercises and
an address was delivered by Graham
Davis, president of the association.
The outlines of Fort Raleigh are dis
tinctly visible and the angles are now
permanently marked by granite pill
lars.

DOOM OF THE SILK WORM.
Manufacture Of Silk From Wood the
Latest Advance in Science.

Manufacture Of Silk From Wood the
Latest Advance in Science.
Detroit Free Press.
The announcement, made stimuli.
taneously in France and in Eng
land, that the discovery OF a pro-
cess for the manufacture Of silk
directly from wood pulp has prov
en- an unquestionable commercial
success, means not only that the
silk worm raising industry, as well
as the silk worm itself, is doomed,
but 1t marks the latest step in that
wonderful advance within the last
ten years in the use OF wood pulp
as a material for manufacture.
Very few people are aware of the
varied uses TO which this product,
technically known as "cullulose,"
is now put-that from it comes the
larger part Of the paper which we
use, the most of the car wheels of
the coaches upon which we ride,
and rails for railways, and wagon
wheels, and horseshoes, imitation
porcelain ware, barrels, boats, win
dow paDes, furniture of many
kinds, telegraph poles, drain pipes
and tiling, paving brick, collins.
carpets, thread, heavy guns, match,
es, yes, and portable houses, paint,
artificial teeth, and even bicycle
frames.
1t would, indeed, require, long
catalogue to tell of the protean
forms which wood pulp Is now
made to assume. To 1t we owe
the penny blanket-sheet newspa.
pers and marvelously low-priced
magazines and cheap books, and
cheap wrapping paper. There are
in the United States two newspa.
pers which one use up in agar
more paper than was produced In
the whole country Is years ago,
and there are five or six newspa.
pers in the United States which
together use up more paper than
was made in the whole world al
that period. Today great forests
are being annually slaughtered to
afford material for the wood-pulI
machines. An enormous indus.
try has been built up In this and
other countries, whose capitalize.

into the hundreds of millions
And still those engaged in the in
dustry regard 1t as yet In the stage

"In the discussion of the matter, Mr..
Mckinley expressed opinions as to the
general requirements of the head of
the department that were in full ac-
cord with those of the committee"
continued Mr.. Baker. "He said he had
long and intimate acquaintance with
Mr.. Allerton and spoke highly of him
as gentleman and financier and
business man, and while he did not tell
the members of the committee out

way he treated the matter that he will

CABINET TALK.
Friends or General Alger Working
For Him.


Canton, Ohio, Dec. 3.-Cabinet gos-
sip is becoming more animated as the
days wear on. There is renewal of
the talk about Gen. r. A. Alger for
secretary of war. Some of his friends
have been here within the last week,
and it is known that Major Mckinley
thinks very highly of him. The name
of Senator Allison is connected with
the position of secretary of state, and
will be a good deal talked about in the
next ten days.
Andrew d. White, of New York, is
still discussed for the same place. A
New York Republican who passed
through here today is authority for
the statement that Thomas G. Plat,
of New York, thinks of going to can
ton within a few weeks and have a
talk with Major Mckinley and enter
his protest against the recognition of
certain men in his own state whom he
thinks unfriendly to him.

AMERICAN CLERGY.
Cardinal Satolli To Make A Report
Upon Their Condition.


Rome, Dec. 3.-It is reported at the
Vatican that the pope has ordered
Cardinal Satolli, late papal delegate
to the United States, to make report
Of the situation of the clergy in Amer
lea. According to the report, His
Holiness charged Cardinal Satolli to
propose such measures relative to the
subject as he might deem necessary.
1t is expected that Cardinal Gibbons
will come to Rome to discuss the
question under advisement, and to
further enlighten the pope as to the
best means Of improving the situa-
ton of the American clergy.
After all the data is at hand and di-
gested, it is probable that the pope
will issue an encyclical on the sub
ject.

MURDER OR SUICIDE.
Prominent Superior Board of Trade
Man Found Dead on the
Street.

West Superior, Wis, May Special
Louis c.. Bratrud of 1914 Hughitt ave-
nue., a prominent grain operator on the
board of trade, was found dead at the
corner of Ogden avenue and Belknap last
night at 9 o'clock with bullet shot in his
head. The discovery was made by a
party of ladies and gentleman who STUN
bled over the corpse as it lay upon the
sidewalk
A revolver found near the outstretched
right hand indicated suicide. Many peo-
pie, however, do not thing that Bratrud
killed himself. as he was in good spirits
when he left his home to go to the post
Office. Parties living in the neighborhood
saw three suspicious characters hanging
about and soon afterwards heard shot.
The actions of the men had been so sus-
picious that Miss Jennie Beardsley,
daughter of Aid. Beardsley, was afraid
to go home alone and waited for an es-
cort.
Bratrud not long ago was in good cir
cumstances, and his acquaintance on
the board do not think he has lost any
thing here, though it is rumored he lost
heavily in Chicago last winter. Bratrud
came here from Watertown, S. D., three
years ago, and leaves wife and three
children
