FEXTO LOPEZ IN
 UNITED STATES
Prominent Filipino Will Explain the Wants and Desires
 of His People.

New York, September 3o.-Fexto Lsaez formerly secertary and confidant of Gener- al Aguinaldo, arrived today on the Cam pania. Lopez is said to have como here at the invitation of Fiske Warren, and he expects to explain to the people the Fili- pino's side of their fight with this coun- try. While coming up from quarantine Lopez gave out the following signed state- ment:
 My object in visiting the United States Is not to interfere in American puIs- tics, but solely to tell the American peo- pie what the Filipnos desire in reference to the future government of our country. It has been said that my coming to Ameri- ca is in the interests of certain persons and parties. We, as Filipinos, know no parties in the United States. We have on- ly one desire, viz: To seek justice for our country.
 Those who desire to give us justice will no doubt be glad to know the wants and conditions of the Philippines. All we want is peace with honor to both parties, and hope to be able to show that the conditions of our country are such as to fit us for the maintenance of that inde- pendence."
 At at hotel he added to the statement the following:
 '"The only additional matter to which T need refer is the publication of my hook on the Philippines. It is chiefly a reply to Commissioner Schurman's report and will contain views of the Filipinos on past and present events, with notes on history and ethnography of the people,"

STRONG APPEAL
 TO ALABAMIANS In Behalf of a Confederate Vet
 eranS' Home.
COME UP AND HELP US NOW
The Old Soldiers Now Have Sentimental Sympathy and Have Love, But They Sorely Need Practical
 Assistance Read and Act
Birmingham, Ala, September 30, 1900.

Birmingham, Ala, September 30, 1900. To Whom it Should Concern: At a regular meeting of the board of directors of "The Confederate Veterans Home" for Alabama veterans of the civil war it was decided to issue an appeal to the friends and relatives of our eX-Con- federate veterans concerning the establish ment of home for the needy and desti- ute among them.
 We need not talk here about tine merits Of these old heroes. The history of their herosm and suffering is familiar to the fathers and mothers of the land, and is lisped by the children on the playground and around the fireside. We now cry out, Come up and help us." Come forward and do your duty to your State for which they sacrificed so much; to your citizenship, which they have honored by their chiv- airy and patriotic devotion, and to them, as men worthy of any noble peoples con- sideration.
 These men have had enough sentimental sympathy; they need the practical sort That they may get this sort, they must be got together; we must be able to reach them; beneficence must be bestowed by a business as well as charitable hand When people what is done with what they bestow in acts of kindness they are not only cheerful givers, but also glad of the opportunity to give We must therefore establish systematic benefcence; we must have lands, where homes can be built leach surrounded by small tract of land, where the old man and his wife can in a measure be self-supporting. We must have h11t1.1 1iy1rr wt11 home-making things to start such a great institution.
 1t may be best to say right here that the board of directors of the Confederate Veterans Home in contempla ton are not to be salaried officers, but are doing what they do for sweet charitys sake, actuated by that highest motive of the human heart the doing as they would be done by. All who would forward this noble cause can correspond with our secretary H. F. Bridewell, Birmingham, Ala, and he will give all necessary informa ton in the mat ter of contributions.
 As the Legislature of Alabama is to be appealed to for aid, this matter should be made burning question, on the lips and in the hearts of our representa- tives
 
 plated for the location of the Home" it being a State institution the people of all the State are to be consulted.
 The lands donated will be needed but few years. The weary old men are going away very fast. We can say, Cast thy bread upon the waters; for tAou shalt find it after many days"
 Come up and help us take care of the best citizens the State has ever had. We earnestly beg your cooperation Very truly and Loyalty yours

0Them's the Rules"

From the London Spare Moments.
 A visitor in Paris was seated at table in one of the high-priced restaurants in the exhibition grounds thinking of various things as he read over the bill of fare and observed the prices.
 By thunder!' he exclaimed to the wait CT. " haven't you any conscience at all in this placer"
 Beg pardon" replied the naughty serv- itor.
 Haven't you any conscience-conscienc conscience? Don't you underestimate"
 The waiter picked up the bill of fare and began looking it over.
 1T don't know if we have or not If we have, it's on the bill if we ain't, you've got to pay extra for it. Them's the rules sir. ''

THE LIBRARY QUESTION.
Will the City Vote to Purchase Corner
Lot.

Over year ago II. G. Rowland of
this city for 1850, purchased of the
French estate the corner lot on Elm
and Washington streets with the
view of holding it for library site
upon which shall be erected the lbra11
ny building provided for in the will If
the late L. T.. Aldrich when sufIi
cient sum outside of that provided by
said will shall be raised to warrant
the trustees of the bequest in pro-
cceding with the building.
Soon after this purchase company
Of II loyal citizens bound themselves
to the following agreement, which ex-
plains itself:
"We, the subscribers hereto, here
by bind ourselves to contribute in
equal shares sum sufficient to pur-
chase the corner lot, SO called, of the
David French estate situated at the
corner of Washington and Elm
Streets, at the price at which the
same was bid off at auction, viz, $12,-
$50, and any actual expense If any
incurred by +. g. Rowland on account
of the purchase of said property. We
further agree to purchase the said
property at the price aforesaid and
hold said property for time not ex-
ceeding Is months and to convey the
same to any corporation, association
or company that will dedicate the
said property perpctually for free
public library for the free use of the
inhabitants of the city and town Of
Barre and the price to such corpora
tion, association or company Shall be
the actual cost to us, including pur-
chase price, interest and taxes and
actual expenses.
If said property should not be taken
for the purposes aforesaid during the
time aforesaid then we will dispose of
the same in the open market and
share equally in the gain or loss aris-
ing therefrom. 1t is especially agreed
that subscriptions hereto shall not b
binding unless at least fifty good sub
scriptionS are secured. 1t is also
agreed that the aforesaid purchase
price is to be raised by Il joint note at
a rate of interest not to exceed 5 per
cent"
Dated at the City of Barre, April 6,
1899
Last night those signers met at city
hall and voted that if at the expira-
tion of the s months, which will be
July 9th, next, no one has appeared
to purchase the lot the trustees hay
ing charge of the same shall adver-
tise it for sale and dispose of it with
out delay.
They also voted to instruct the
trustees to get up petition to be
presented to the mayor to call city
meeting to vote on the matter as to
whether the city will raise special
tax to purchase the lot. There will
also be incorporated in the petition
call for a city meeting in city hall
June Goth.
This is very important matter for
the consideration of the people. 1t
means that an increase of 80 cents on
the tax rate, which is now s2.35, but
it is the only suitable place for IL
brary site and this is the last chance
of securing it, 1t also means that
should the vote be favorable to the
purchase, then Barre can boast Of a
splendid new library seven years at
least earlier than it otherwise could.

Give Comfort
$2.35 TAX.
Mayor Leaves Meeting and Presiden
MacKay Takes tho Chair.
Sold by all druggists. rs ce


The special meeting Of the City
Council was held last night. A petit
ton from Perry & Scribner was read
asking permission to connect the house
of H. D. Camp on Washington street
with their spring water. 1t was re-
ferred to the street committee.
The mayor stated that a member OF
the new band had called upon him to
ask for permission. to give concerts in
the band stand. He had granted the
request.
The street committee reported fav-
orably on the proposal for sidewalk
on the eastern side of Foss street and
the petition was granted.
A resolution was read calling for a
tax of S2.l5. This was followed by
few remarks from the mayor, who said
that the power seems now to be his,
in this instance, and that although the
board has opposed low tax he pro-
posed to carry out his own views with
tax of $2.15. He gave notice that
he should refuse to sign tax warrant
for a higher rate.
Mr.. MacKay spoke against the rcso'
luton on the ground that the tax
would not be sufficient to meet the
demand. When it was put to vote
it was greeted by six nos, and was
not passed.
The mayor then rc-Stated his no
tice regarding his refusal to sign tax
warrant on a basis OF more than s2.15.
Mr.. MacKay stated that the charter
provided that in such case justice
of the peace might be secured to sign
the warrants.
The mayor adjourned the meeting
and returned to his Office followed by
the protestations of the various mem.
beers that he could not adjourn with
out a motion from the floor. Accord
ing to the rules the president of the
board shall preside in the absence of
the mayor SO President MacKay took
the chair and the proceedings of the
council logged merrily on.
Mr.. MacKay presented resolution
calling for a tax of s2.35 consisting of
state school tax 5 cents, state library
3 cents, city highway 20 cents, city
schools so cents, sinking fund Is
cents, general tax sl.30, special tax
for permanent road improvement 10
cents. After a considerable discus
sion on both sides the word ''perman-
ent' was stricken out of the special
road tax clause and the resolution was
passed unanimously.
Mr.. MacKay brought up the matter
of the uncomfortableness of the opera
house seats which are set too closely
together in rows but no action was
taken except to refer it to the proper
ty committee.
