HOPEFUL PHILIPPINE VIEWS

New York, April PA specia
to the Press from Washington
says: At the war department. til,
hopeful feeling concerning the
Philippines is encouraged by {
cabiegram from General Otis. He
reports that the negotiations fol

The commanding general says that
he does not wish to make definite
promises or predictions, hut he be-
lieves he will be soon able to an
nonnee q result Of communications
passing between the commission
and the leaders Of insurgents.
Tie state department has similar
information from civil sources, and
confidence is expressed that the
outcome of the efforts to establish
american authority will be sue
cess. Precisely what the terms are
is not known. 1t can be stated on
authority that even the president is
not aware of what terms the COM
mission is offering to Aguinaldo
and his associates T le commission
has much discretion. 1t can give
assurances in regard to amnesty
and to local government. 1t is IN a
position 20 make the conditions of
surrender liberal. The president
has believed for some time that if
his commissioners could get into
free communication with the in
Surgents they would satisfy them
that the interests of the F'ilipipos
lay in the acceptance CT American
authority. The advices to-day in
dictate that communication has
been Or is about to be established.
Evidently the insurgents have
learned something from their re-
cent terrible experience. It is un-
derstood that Agoncillo, hearing Of
negotiations at home, intends COM
ing to the United States from
Paris. He wishes to be in reach of
the president or the state depart

Of the deal. He Will not be receiv-

OPENING OF THE ACADEMY.
The Ministries Tomorrow Night Then 9
Long List of Fine Shows.

Tomorrow night the theatrical season
will open here at the Academy Of Music,
with Al. G.. Fields Greater Ministries.
1T is the beginning of a brilliant sea-
son for Raleigh "OperatIcally'' speaking
for the management or the Academy
has booked many fine attractions and
none but good ones.
There is no more entertaining form
of stage show than that put up by an
up-to-date minstrel company, and that
is why it is booked for opening night.
This style of entertainment is American
in all its salient essentials. The hui
NOR, the music and the dancing are all
of American origin. There is a jingle
and rhythm to minstrel music that has
charms for the multitude The planta-
ton melodies are only heard at the min
strels. Once in IA while some performer
in the vaudevilles or on the farce-comedy
stage makes Il pronounced hit of singing
a ballad or a plantation melody. Ten
to one you will find they are graduates
of the minstrel stage. If there was
nothing but the singing in first-class
minstrel show it would satisfy many
people. but a frst-class up-to-date min
strel show has more variety than any
stage exhibition of the day.
The following is a list, of some of the
other attractions already booked for the
Academy of Music for the season:
Barton's Vaudeville, with moving pic
lures of the Jeffreys F'itzslmmons fight,
September 4th.
Lee Hypnotists will occupy the Acade-
my for a week, commencing September
25th.

JAMES LANIER FATALLY HURT.
One of the Smallest Men in the World
Dying in Raleigh.

James Lanier, who is probably one of
the smallest men in the world, was IA
tally injured Sunday afternoon at the
Capital Hose Company's engine house.
He, with several boys was playing in
the apartment occupied by the drivers.
At night when fire alarm is given the
firemen descend from their sleeping
apartments to the stable on poles. The
boys were jumping for this pole and
sliding down. Lanier tried it, and his
hands missed the pole, but he wrapped
his legs around it. OF course he shot
down like flash, and his head struck
several times in falling. He was picked
up in an unconscious condition and car
ried to his home across the street. Blood
was running from his ears and mouth,
and it was thought he was dying. A
physician was summoned and gave him
all the medical aid possible. And for
awhile it was hoped he could live, but
late yesterday afternoon his physician
said there was no chance for his recov-
cry.
James Lanier, or Boss" as he is
nicknamed, is not over three feet high,
and is twenty years old. He has
had many offers from shows but declined
them. Some years since he was exhibit
ed for while at various towns, but he
did not like it. He has a sister who il
nearly as small as himself.

A FARMER POETS VERSES.
\ Volume of Verses Written by Tar
Heel Bachelor Farmer.

Musings of Bachelor or the Farm
er Poet is the title of small volume
Oh poems just issued from the press.
hey are by Robert A. Riddick, of
Ahoskie, n. c., with an introduction
ana three poems by Major John w.
Moore, author of History of North Car
DINA.
There are many pages of pleasant
feadlng in this book of just forty poems,
with here and there a touch OF true
poetic fire. But to this latter Mr.. Rid
dick makes no claim. He is perfectly
frank with his readers and begins his
preface with the quotation
lis pleasant sure to see ones name
in print,
A books book although there's moth
in int"
In putting this little book before the
public, he continues, Il wish to say
that it has been written, with the eX-
eeption of a few pieces, during the leis'
ure intervals of my FIVE years stay as
bachelor on the farm. And, moreover
let me say that its pages will not be
found to be filed either with the sayings
OF wise man, or with the beauties
OF real poet; but, on the contrary
with those crudities which usually ema
nate from the brain of one of the plain
est of all men-the farmer"
And yet despite this modest claim
one finds in these 116 pages such wei
drawn pictures as this, under the title
"Nightfall-Last of August
Now come the sounds, from pastures
green and from the dark, cool dells
OF lowing herds of bleating sheep and
drowsy, tinkling bells;
And ever and anon is heard the voice OF
human song,
Or loud halloo, or noisy, echoing faI
along;
Upon the ear, through Silly air, from
many neighb'ring yard,
The faithful watch-dog's larum sounds
his masters home to guard;
And oft an interupting noise against
the stiffness swells
Where straining close behind the hare
the fox-hound loudly yells.'
The book is issued from the Raleigh
Christian Advocate presses and is typo
graphically neat and attractive.
