THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, D. e.. FEB. 18TH, 1900.
President McIxinley's willingness
to unfortunate his personal opinion
when it doesn't agree with that of
the combined leaders of the party in
Congress, is one of the reasons why
he is more popular with Congress
than any other President has ever
been. A case in point is the Porto
Rican tariff bill, which Chairman
Payne, of the Ways and Means
Committee, called up in the House
today and which will be kept before
the House until it is passed. Presl-
dent McKinley's opinion, AS stated
in his annual message, was that
Porto Rico should have free trade
with us, but when the party leaders
in Congress concluded that it was
best to put small duty--one-fourth
of what foreign countries pay On
Porto Rican products, he at once
stated that he would attempt to
place his personal opinion above
that of Congress, bat would sign
any bill passed by Congress. The
principal object of the duty is to
raise money TO be spent for the bet
terment of Porto Rico.

advertising induce buyers from diff

day The first of:them win be held
the first week in Ap-il-the exact

To make it convenient for buyers
who come on trains the committee
has secured grounds within two

to make this great success.

Secretary Hay has begun an in
vestigation to ascertain whether the
charge of Charles E. Macrum, who
practically deserted his post as U.
S. Consul at Pretoria, because this
government did not take sides with
the Beers, that his official mail was
opened by the British Military Cen
sor at Durham, was true. The first
that Secretary Hay, OF anybody in
Washington heard of this serious
charge was when Mr.. Macrum pub
lished statement, over his sigma
ture, giving his reasons for running
away from his post. If the charge
be true, an apology will, of course,
be demanded from the British gov
ernment.

1t is absurd to say that the failure
of the republican caucus to put the
Quay case on the Legislative pro-
grammo of the Senate, was either
"a defeat or victory for Mr.. Quay,
as some persons have said since the
caucus was held The reason why
the case was not included in che
programme was simply because Il
question involving the right OF u
Senator to his seat is one of the
highest privilege and can be called
up at any time it needed no place
on the programme.

The personnel of the conference
committee, which is now consider
ing the House financial bill, passed
before Christmas, and the Senate
substitute therefor passed last week,
make it certain that the difference
between the two measures will be
settled in a manner satisfactory to
the sentiment of the republican par
ty, and in accord with the policy
of President Mckinley. The repub-
lican members of the Committee
are Senators Aldrich and Allison and
Representatives Overstreet and
Brosius. The democratic members
are Senator Jones, of Arkansas, and
Representative Cox of Tennessee.

A Great Health Institution Estab.
lished in the South by a Number
Of Prominent Northern GEN
tlemen.
AT Pinebluff, in North Carolina,
the new winter health resort located
on the Seaboard Air Line Railway,
seventy-five miles south of Raleigh,
the capital of North Carolina, is rap
idly coming into prominence. With
in the past three years, a number of
prominent physicians have made
thorough study of the climatic condi-
tions in and around Pinebluff, and
they have established a Hygienic
and Dietetic institution, where they
are sending their patients and are in
viting their brother physicians to send
their patients who ought to go South
and who need special diet. The
trouble has been, heretofore, in send
ing patients South, the physicians
have not been able to find a place
where patients are properly fed. In
other words, the physicians who keep
thoroughly posted, have learned that
they need to prescribe diet and ha We
it filed as properly as they need to
have prescriptions filed at drug
stores. There has been no establish
illSHt III lllc DOulIl W iOOh dlJ6T lHe
diet questions as it should be. For
that reason, the physicians have had
to club together and establish an in
stitution of their own.
During the next few days, DIR. f.
III. Eral, one of the managing physi-
cans in charge of the institution at
Pinebuff will be at $50 First street,
Brooklyn, N. Y, and will be glad to
have any parties who want to go
South to correspond with him. The
doctor will return to Pinebluff about
March 1st, and will be glad to have
invalids those,desiring to goSouth, ac-
company him.
DIR. j. Warren Achorn, of Boston,
; Mass, has sent a number of patients
to PinebIuff, and his report shows that
this place is specially suited as win
= ter resort. DIR. AchoTn islexamining
physician for the American Invalid
> Aid Association Of Boston.
. We would advise those desiring
special information concerning this
= establishment, to write to Mr.. John
, T. Patrick, Chief Industrial Agent,

located at Pinebluff, N, G..

Woman's Board OF State
Fair to be Organized

At the meeting yesterday morning at the
Commercial Club, which was called for the
purpose of organizing a Woman's Board of
the State Fair Association, definite action
was deferred until tomorrow morning, when
another meeting will be held at l o'clock
at the Commercial Club.
The women who were connected with the
Woman's Department of the fair last year
are requested to be present at the meeting
tomorrow, and others who are interested
in perfecting an organization are cordially
Invited. The Fair Association is meeting
with such cooperation on the part of the
business men of Birmingham that its sue
cess is assured and the promoters are en-
couraged to the extent of adding a wo-
mans department, and desire that immed-
late action be taken in organizing a wo-
mans board.
The success of the woman's department
last year was notable from every point of
view.
The board was composed of many of the
most prominent women in Birmingham and
under the brilliant leadership of the pres
ident, Mrs. Robert H. Pearson, the work
was carried on to successful compile ton. In
addition to the various departments for the
display of the work of women, the Birm-
ingham WomaRs Club, in connection with
the board, held a womans congress at the
time of the fair. This occasion was in every
way one of the most notable in the his
tory of the State, bringing together many
distinguished women from various parts of
the south. The social side of the fair was
one of unusual brilliancy, a number of
beautiful events being given In honor Of
the distinguished visitors. The woman's
board had every reason to be satisfied with
the success of the work 1t undertook, since
from the artistic the intellectual and the
social points Of view, the woman's side Of
the fair was a brilliant achievement.
If the approaching fair is to be aug
mented by a department devoted to the
work of women, a woman's board should
be Immediately orgaized, as there is little
time to be lost in arousing interest In the
State. AS stated previously, the Fair As
ISOLATION will assume all indebtedness In
CURED by the womans board. The propo-
sition on the part of the association will
doubtless be made officially at the meet
ing tomorrow, when the ACCESSIBILITY OF
organizing a woman's board will be more
fully discussed, and the proposition OF the
