OLNEY'S INTERPRETATION
Not Altogether Satisfactory to the Eng
lish Treaty Makers

NEW YORK, Jan. ia copyrighted
cablegram to the Evening Post today
says: Entirely new Importance has
been given to the arbitration compact
with the United, States in Englishmen's s
eyes by Secretary Olneys statement,
reported by the Chronicles Washing
ton correspondent, that Great Britain
having in the Venezuelan agreement adj
mitted the validity of the Monroe doc
trine, she has now by the arbitration
treaty became the ally of the United
States in the maintenance ana enforce
ment of that doctrine.
Official opinion does not confirm that
wide Interpretation of it. Officials say
it is a treaty for specific and clearly
defined object. They certainly would
repudiate any confirmation by the
treaty Of Mr.. Olney's expressed claim
that a permanent political union be-
tween a European and an American
state would be unnatural and inexpe-
dent.
England. said a leading official today,
always has been a warm supporter of
the true Monroe doctrine, but not of that
eXtravagant version of it,"
Meanwhile it is significant that the
Paris and Vienna newspapers today COM
ment on the treaty as an affair of purely
Anglo-Americsln interest.

DOWN WITH THE BACHELORS.

Mrs. Charlotte Smith, of Boston, oil
course, has achieved fame. II is MIS-
Smiths conviction that a bachelor Is
a selfish aud unworthy wretch, who Is
wIlfully depriving some woman oil her
due allowance of pin money, chewing
gum, hairpins, sealskin sacks, or any
other little coucomitanls of state OF
welded bliss. Now 1t may be argued
that the lack of a husband absoiVes
many woman from the wOshtub, ahd
that many a maiden of this broad
land lies down TO pleasant dreams OF
carriages aud diamonds TO awake to
the harsh reality of kitchen pots ana
pans when the roseste glow of the
honeymoon has faded. Matrimony Is
not unadulterated ecstasy There are
msuy considerations that might make
the overripe maidens OF Boston rather
bear the ills they have than fly to
others that they know not of. If Mrs
Charlotte Smith has taken tho task OF
forcing every malo neck, willy nilIy
into the yoke of matrimony, she Will
fnd that she has undertaken heavy
contract. We should blush for the
sex il men were so slave-spirited as to
submit without q struggle to be mar
ried with force and violence at the
bidding of the Woman's Rescue
League. 1t won't do, Mrs. Charlotte
Smith. The amIable Australian beau
may club the object of his choice ana
drag her to his wigwam, or the
Apache leader of society lasso bis
| souls idol and snake her through
the sage brush without any violation
of social ethics; but don't undertake
any of those knock down -and-drag'out
tactics with tho men Of this free re-
public. 1t has been time'honored
saw that woman is a charming coll
tradiction-"chase, aud she fees; but
fee, and she'll pursue" Now it is
hardly likely that mankind will flee
with any less celebrity when such q
pack as the Woman's Rescue League i.
yeIping at his heels. They are more
apt to get up tree aud stay there
But thank the powers, all women arc
not Rescue Leaguers nor Bostonians
There are still some left whose smile
can make the world an Eden, and
whose sovereignty mankind will glad
own on Bonded knees.
Mrs. Charlotte Smith and her shrek
ing sisterhood are not the only peb-
bles on the beach.

that they will be recalled without
much difficulty by people below Ma

the South or evInce any interest in

their husband and father the highest

the attacks OF sickness which have so

residence in the cooler, calmer, more

As far as cotton is concerned q
long fall and late fgos! Is highly dc
sirable. and all indications point to IT.
One "sign," which, however trivial, IS
worth something as a result Oh lobg
aud close observation, is the condition
of the cockleburr crop. Never before
were such gigantic cockleburrs seen
in the Della or what poor Rufus
Sanders would call such u "hellatious
plenty'' of them. Cockleburrs ten,
twelve, fifteen feet high, aud branched
like a banyan tree, completely swamp
ing every place that has net been enl-
livated like flower garden, aud even
killing the grass under their dense
shade. Now the wise ones declare
that the cockleburr is never caught
by frost, but that its burrs are always
matured when it comes. The great
cockleburr crop is just beginning to
form lis useless and troublesome seed
The bushes are in full bloom, and If
the burrs are to mature before frost
they will require at least forty days
Unless the cocklcburr prophets and
their pet signs are humbugs, killing
frost cannot be looked for before The
latter part of October.

A BALLAD OF THE FLEET-45O y. @

When we loosed from blue Piraeus,
Under the Violet Crown,
The sun hung over the masthead
Like PAllas above the town;
The sun hung over the masthead
And the land lay on the loA,
Where the gray eyes of Glaucopis
Were the eyes that followed me
We sailed away to the southland,
where the maids are born TO kissi
We saw the daughters of Pharaoh
When We lay at Eaucratisj
AID thsir eyes shown like sslons'E,
But all that they said to me
was: 1.-THE gray eyes ofGlAucopis
Are the eyes that shine for thee"
We coAsted. the Great Kings country,
We looked on the Asian girls,
We saw the fash OF their white arms,
The tess OF their coal-blSok curlsi
But out Of their songs and dances
The message that came to me
Wss; 1.-THE gray eyes Of GlaucoPis
Are the eyes that watch for thee. !"
Sometimes when the night wiHd whimperI
And whistles among the spGrs,
And the aullen rAlAdrOp splashss,
And wet mist dims the stars,
At sight Of their fearful beauty
think on . barbor quay,
where the gray syes Of GlAueOpil
Are the eyes that weep for me,
Az on in the summer starshins
We loiter among the isles,
We can see the town lights twinkle
And heckon across the miles,
But behind them and beyond them
A city seem to see
Where the gray eyes Of Glaucopia
Are the eyes that bsckon me,

A petition, very extensively signed,
ia being circulated, asking the City
Coun ell to provide drinking fountains
of the latest improved pattern for the
use of stock. Many humane citizens
have long wished that there was some
means possible of lessening the suffer
ings of stock which are usually left
hitched, frequently in the hot sun,
and without food or water, for many
hours at a time. The utter callous.
ness of negroes to animal suffering is
well known, and it is doubtful if even
tho convenience of drinking fountains
could induce them to concern them
selves enough to stop and water their
stock; but Greenville is probably the
only city of its size in the United
States; possessing water facilities such
as ours, which makes no provision at
all for animals. Even If country dri
yers fail to avail themselves of the
privilege, much suffering could be
spared to the stock by the efforts OF
the citizens and the police, and all en-
forcement of the ordinance against
allowing horses and mules to stand
neglected for hours at time while
their owners loaf.
