BAILEY'S KEY NOTE
Of the Democratic Campaign Sound
at Chatham, Va.

DanviIle, Va, Sept. 0.-Congressman
Bailey spoke at Chatham, the county
seat in the interest of Q. A. Swanson,
Democratic nominee for congress from
the Fifth district. People for miles
around were in the big crowd to hear
the Texan.
In his speech Representative Bailey
made it plain that the Democrats mean
to make the present campaign an ag-
gressive one. Among other things or
similar import he said:
For months Republican politicians
and Republican editors have talked and
written necessarily about the mistakes
of the Democratic minority in congress,
but now they are required to specify
our mistakes in order to avert public
attention from their own, they find 1t
impossible to make good their repeated
and reckless assertions. In order to es-
cape the just and universal indignation
which has been aroused against them
by the suffering inflicted upon the vol
unteer army through the incompetence
or the dishonesty of those whom they
have placed in power, they have been
searching the congressional records and
racking their brains to find some dam
aging accusation which they can sus-
tain against us. But they have not
found it, and they will not find it. The
record of the Democratic party through
out the last and stirring session of
congress is absolutely above all criti-
cism. do not say it with the purpose
of claiming any credit for myself; but
as a matter of simple justice to my
Democratic associates, declare that in
all the history of this government no
minority party ever passed through a
war session of congress with so much
credit as did the Democrats of the pres
ent congress.
THE only important vote which we
believed at the time we cast it could
ever become the subject of reasonable |
controversy was our vote against the
war revenue bill; and events have COM
pletely INDICATED our course in respect |
to that measure. We opposed the pas
sage of the bill because we believed that |
it authorized an unnecessary sale of ia |
terest bearing bonds, and the condition |
of the treasury proves cOnclusively that !
we were right. When congress con- |
Venes in December next it will find that |
the surplus in the treasury above the |
one hundred million gold reserve will |
exceed the amount received from the /
sale of the bonds, thus demonstrating |
that there was no necessity for the gov |
to sell its bonds.
Our Republican friends cannot ex- |
cuse themselves by saying that they |
could not foresee the early termination |
of the war, because every man who was |
reasonably we'll informed about the /
condition of Spain understood that it |
was impossible for her to continue a /
long and expensive struggle. Owing to /
the greater distance between her base
or supplies and the seat of war, it was /

DUEL FATAL TO BOTH.
Fight to the Death With Knife
and Pistol.

st. Louis, Sept. 2O.-Word was receiv-
ed here today of a desperate and fatal
duel between Mate Park Davis and the
night Waterman on board the steamer
Mayf1ower of the Diamond Joe line,
which left here last night for Memphis.
Both men are dead.
For some time there had been a feud
between the two men. Last night when
the boat was tied up at Hugs Landing,
one mile from Creston, Mo-, the quarrel
between the Waterman and mate broke
out. The former attacked the mate with
a knife. For some time the struggle
lasted, both participants rolling about
the deck, to the horror of the passen-
gers, who were unable to interfere.
Finally, when the mate, who had been
cut in numerous places, was about to
give up. he succeeded in pulling his re-

BREEDING A HORROR.
Health Conditions at Manila May
Give the World Shock.

New York, Sept. 20.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says:
AS the result of the meetings of the
national assembly of Filipinos. thus far
held in MalolOs, there is now entire
confidence in the American government
on the part of the insurgent leaders.
All the members of the assembly ex-
hibit an earnest desire that the future
relations of the Filipinos with the
Americans may be of the most friendly
character.
The condition of the Spanish prison.
ers is beginning to excite anxiety
among the military officers here.
Eleven thousand of these prisoners
are quartered in churches and other
public buildings within the narrow con-
fines of the walled city, where most of
the Spanish people also live, where the
American garrison is quartered, and
where General Otis has located the
army headquarters.
Members of the sanitary corps are
kept constantly at work clearing out
filth that constantly accumulates, the
Spaniards having not the least knoWl-
edge of the laws of sanitation.
The result is a condition threaten
ing a general outbreak of disease at
any moment. Typhoid fever is already
increasing at an alarming rate.
Authorities feel it is absolutely essen
tial to the health of the city to get the
Spanish prisoners out of Manila at the
earliest possible date.
Similar conditions are reported from
of the rebels are suffering from the
lack of the necessaries of life.
To make matters worse, the sailing
of the hospital ship Rio has been re
peatedly delayed. 1t is now stated pos
itively that the vessel will sail on
Thursday. Probably by that time she
will have considerable accession to her
invalid passenger list.

COOKING CLASSES.

~ ERTAINLY no more interesting
 spectacle can be witnessed than O at the Franklin Grammar School at Eighth and Harrison streets during the hours for instruction in cooking. In the whole school there are 125 schol- ars, all girls, in this course. These are divided into classes of about twenty five each. All are equipped with aprons, armlets and holders, and the elementary classes are regularly drill ed in the uses of these attachments. Step by step the pupil advances, be- ginning with instruction in the most elementary principles and the more simple preparations of food, and end ing with those more elaborate dishes in which a good housekeeper delights to display her accomplishments as a cook. As the staple article or food, in the ordinary family, is meat, the pupil is carefully drilled in, first, the selec- tion, and afterward. cooking Les sons are given in the anatomy of beef and carefully drawn pictures are dis played with each part duly labeled and from this pictorial representation the pupil learns all that can be imparted about the different qualities which each portion of the carcass affords.
 The chemical constituents of each class of the food supply is carefully impressed into the minds of the pupils, thus combining the scientific with the practical. The wholesome onion is largely composed of sulphur and the carrot combines iron in an appreciable degree, and thus in every other impor- tant article of consumption their in- gradients and effects are learned.
