The San Francisco Call says:
"Gracie Plaisted, of Tivoli fame, ap-
peared for the first time at the Alca-
Ear, last night, supported by the Daley
company. The attraction was "Tina, ,"
"a pretty little musical comedy. In
Tina Miss Plaisted found character
much to her liking, and one in which
she was thoroughly at home. Her
personality showed throughout the
play, and her musical numbers were
raptuously encored One clever top
ical Doll" song, in the first act,
caught the house. Miss Plalsted's
support was up to the requirements,
and the presentation OF the comedy
was very enjoyable one" She will

THE PASSING OF CLEVELAND.

about Cleveland's telegram coming out
for Palmer and Buckner and score
him 2" writes friend. Our rule is new
er to speak harshly of the dead. Cleve-
land is the deadest man above ground.
He came near wrecking his party by
betraying it into the hands of the
trusts and gold syndicates. 1t was
saved by repudiating him and his
methods. Nobody expected his blast
ing support when the party preferred
to stick to principles rather than fol-
low him into humiliation. And no
Democrat wanted it. Let him continue
to fish and issue bonds and write Re-
publican doctrines till the fourth of
March. Then he will pass into ''inno-
cuous desuetude." Cleveland got the
dose himself he wanted to give Bryan.
He was shorn of his power to help or

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

i'm the court house here last Saturday.

county executive committee and it did
select new committee composed en-
tirely of colored committeeman with
Skies Williams as chairman. During
the performance" it would remind
you of a lot of parrots trying to talk,
as some time half the crowd were
trying to make speeches and the other
half singing, cursing or asking who
''called the meeting" etc. The two

New York, Sept. 15.-The cables yes

lance telephone experiments by M.
Kildischevsky between Moscow and

Ki1discheysky was so elated he had
started for London, whence he propos-
ed to talk to New York.
Vice-President Clark, of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, comment
ing on the tale, said yesterday:
Gas to the proposed experiments by
cable I know nothing. Such expert
ments are not likely to be made, as a
cable plant is very sensitive and quick
ly spoiled if tempered with. We know
nothing of the Russian inventor, and
no telephone experiments could be
made on our cables without arrange
ment on this side"
Other cable companies representa-

Hon. r. p. Glenn addressed the voters
of Granville county here to-day. He

Four hundred were present to hear
him, consisting largely of farmers,

the advocates of the single gold stand

his appeal for united action, and his
eulogy of Cy. Watson were grand.
His speech had perceptible influence
upon the Populists present.

The general absence of rain in the
Southern States has been very favor
able for cotton picking which has
made rapid progress. Picking will be
completed over the greater portion of
the cotton belt by October 1. The con-

BOSWELL ]. SHOOK.

There looms up above the horizon,
no larger than mans hand, j. Wiley
Shook. Every day refreshing show
err comes from him in the shape of
two-stick special in the Charlotte
Observer telling how the babies along
Pritchard's route cry for more tariff
after he is gone.
Shook is bigger than his job, as Gar
field said men ought to be. For eX-
ample, Shook is Boswell to Pritchard,
while Pritchard has not yet grown
enough to be Johnson to Shook. 1t
takes a big man to be Shocks john
son. A small man may be Pritchard's
Boswell. But Shook is no small man.
Shook says in his last special that
Senator Pritchard greatly prefers dis
cussing the tariff issue of the present
campaign" There is no doubt about
it. The Senator desires to discuss any
thing that will let him run away from
his record on the silver question. His
Hannaized record there is such as to
win for him the merited contempt of
good men of all shades of opinion. Mr..
Shook also tells us that Mr.. Pritchard's
audience at Dallas was made up al
most exclusively of country farmers"
(no city farmers there) and that
their interest in the discussion was
intensely satisfactory to the speaker.
But Shook is silent as to whether he
and the farmers were satisfied.

RAILROAD RATES AND COTTON.

ST. Louis Post-Distpatch: The
Mexican National Road has a
branch in Texas-from Laredo 160
miles to Corpus Christi on the
Gulf. The distance by the same
road to Monterey in Mexico is 168
miles. From Laredo to Corpus
Christi the freight charge is so
cents per 100 pounds in gold. From
Laredo to Monterey the charge is
Sc cents per 100 pounds in Mexican
silver.
Though railroad rates in the two
countries have thus remained at the
same figure, by the demonstration
of silver cotton has fallen in this coun-
try as low as Az cents, and now with
a short crop is only about z cents,and
corn so cents per bushel. While in
Mexico cotton continues to bring the
old price of Is cents and corn and
wheat are s1.25 to $3.50 per bushel.

Mrs. sIerrifield's Queer Vow.

In 1860 Mrs. Susan E. Merrifeld of
Americus, Ga, made some remark to
her churlish husband, who, by way of
reply, commanded her to keep silent,
declaring as he did so that the very
sound of her voice was distasteful to
him. Every well" she replied, "you
shall never hear the hateful sound
again. - The husband imagined that the
hasty VOW thus taken by his wife was a
pettish freak that would wear off as soon
as she "got over her pouting SPELL" but
he was doomed to disappointment. The
day, the night and the week passed, yet
Mrs. Merrifield never uttered sound.
When the weeks lengthered into months,
the husband and relatives became alarm
ed and demonstrated with the good lady,
but all to no purpose. She continued to
act the part of wife and daily directed
the affairs of her household by making
signs and by occasionally writing on a
slate kept for that purpose.
She even bore three children to her
husband after her peculiar vow of silence
was taken. Finally the husband sicken-
ed, and when it was known that the
physicians in attendance were getting
ready to announce the hopelessness of
his case it was imagined by all that she
would renounce her vow and speak to
the dying man. He even pleaded with
her to say one word before he died,
whereupon she took the slate and wrote
81 cannot, cannot God forgive and
help me-" Finally, in 1891, after al
most 81 years of continued silence, it
came her time to die, but she died as
she had lived for the third of a century,
without uttering single word.
