Capt. r. u. Russell Talks About Hot Springs
At this season of the year when the
buds are swelling and nature is COM
mencing to clothe the earth with a
mantle of green, it is certainly exhilar.
ating to take a trip to the Carlsbad of
America. Time was when it cost the
earnings of months and the pangs Of
rhuematic joints incident to rough
roads and jolting stage coaches, but
now.that you can take your choice of two
first-class railroads that will land you
at the Springs in four or five hours it
is a wonder that so few of the residents
of the Northern Hills take advantage
of being relieved of their ailments by q
trip to the Hot Springs. The proprie-
tors of the different hotels have long
since come to the conclusion that their
that their best patronage would come
from the Northern Hills, and while
thev work hard for their share of out
side business they vie with each other
in making their guests of this section
comfortable and at home and at rates
within the reach of everybody. There
are very few guests at the hotels at
present, the summer rush not having
commenced yet. The only house that
is full is the Soldiers Home. Never in
the history of the institution has there
been gathered there so many of the
grim old veterans. They are we'll fed

pearance on the streets. They are

There are $50 veterans at the Home
and quite a number of them from

are being made for the coming rush that

Ambassador White Believes Germany's Action

London, Oct. 20.-Lord Salisbury to-
night sent to Ambassador Hay the reply
of the English government to the pro-
posals of the American Bi-Metallic spe-
cial commission, headed by Senator Wool
colt. 1t is diplomatic worded note.
His Lordship says that the government
Of Great Britain is not able to reopen the
Indian mints at present. He regrets the
inability to accede to the proposals of the
American commissioners, Great Britain
having as great an interest as the United
States and France in securing stable
par exchange for gold and silver and an
enlarged use of silver.
Under the circumstances, continues
Lord Salisbury the British government
does not see the desirability of an inter
national monetary conference, but will
be pleased to consider any other practi-
cal suggestions from the United States.
Lord Salisbury encloses with the note
a copy OF the statement of Sir J. West
land, head of the financial department
of India, which was under discussion
with the meeting of the Cabinet last
Saturday, and which takes strong
grounds against the opening Of the India
mints.
Senator Woolcott is not In London this
evening.
Ambassador Andrew White came from
Berlin last Saturday. He has avoid
ed publicity, but has had several con-
ferences with Senator Woolcott. In the
course OF an interview with the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press, Mr..
White said that Germany's action as to

Discussing the possibility of q tariff war,
Mr.. Wh4re said:
I do not believe that Germany will
inaugurate a tariff war with the United
States. The German press and many
German statesmen have been very bitter
against the Dingley law; but think they
are now beginning to realize that an In
creased prosperity will enable the United
States to buy as much as under the lower

Fair, and there is scarcely a moment
that large crowds are not standing about
it or sitting down at the charming din
ing table enjoying the tempting lunches
Nv
ing more and more about the value of
these modern cooking utensils. Mr.. J.
Richard Smith, popular Salisburian,
and the present representative of the
Baltimore branch of the Standard Oil
Company, with headquarters at Whining

perfect comfort and ease that attaches
to cooking all kinds of edibles with the
vapor stave. Mr. Smith, Mr.. Blank and
Mr. Barksdale, also representatives of
the Standard Oil Company, by their
courteous manner, have made friends out
of the visitors generally, and convinced
half of them that the yapor stove solves
the problem Of quick, economical and
perfect cooking.
This stove is manufactured by the
Dangler Stove Works, of Cleveland,
o., and their agents in Raleigh is the
Julius Lewis Hardware Company.
They burn oil and air and are so con-
structed that rs per cent of the fuel con-
sumed is air, reducing the cost Of fuel for
cooking for an ordinary family to from
three to FIVE cents a day. The Standard
Oil Company has, under the direction of
these gentlemen, arranged a very at

Delightful Performance.

Delightful Performance.
There was never a merrier musical play
written than is 'Erminie" which was
presented to packed house at the
Academy of Music last night. And
never was it presented in a more jovial
and tuneful manner. If the two vaga-
honds-Robert Macaire (Chas. A. Full
ler) and Jacques Strop u. Clarence Har-
vey) had been one-half-only one half
as clever and devilish as they were, still
the opera would have been good.
AS for Susie Kirwin, she improves
with acquaintance. The path of success
is familiar to her and she knows the
value OF reserve force. A most delight
full and bewitching personality she was
last night and her every appearance up
on the stage was greeted with applause.
There was never anything more beauti-
ful than her song. "HOney, Ny Honey"
unless it be Miss Pools song, Because
love thee, dear" They were two gems.

pretty women six nights in

of love and dreams and moonlight

AT THE METROPOLITAN.
The Woodward Warren Company filed
their third engagement in the city for
this trip last evening, and the perform
ance was fully up to the high standard
which this company has established for
popular price shows in Raleigh. Tha
last presentation was light comedy
full of fun from beginning to end. The
subject Of this farcical comedy, "Too
Much Smith," conveys slight idea OF
the character Of the play. However,
the fun was not Of coarse nature.
nothing in the least Objectionable could
be found in the play. The costumes
were beautiful, the parts were well ex-
ecuted, the specialties were pleasing and
the entire show gave nothing but the
highest satisfaction to those who at
tended. very good audience greeted
the company last night
