IIIiteracy In Russia.

The illiteracy of Russia exceeds that
of any ether country claiming to have
"a civilized government. The Humani-
tartan states that in 10000 villages Of
the vast empire there is not a school
land it is estimated that not twenty per
cent of the population of the empire
has acquired even the rudiments of a
common school education. 1t has been
figured out that if the car would dis
band 100000 men of the vast army he
would thereby save money enough to
provide school for each of these VII
lagos. 1t is not surprising that the
car should desire to reach some ar
rangement with the other nations
which would permit him to partially

Imitation Butter Bill Doubtful.

Washington, March 19.-Members of
the agricultural committee of the house
are expressing doubt that favorable
action will be taken on the circuit bill
assessing tax of 10 cents a pound on
oleomargarine made in imitation of
stood to be opposed to it, and the
whole committee would probably take
like position, although the demand
for it's passage is general throughout
the dairy sections of the country and
all the Western members are receiving
petitions asking for favorable action.
1t has been arranged to have final
action on the measure decided by the
whole committee.

A Royal Architect and Gardner.

Kings are generally supposed to owe
their distinction to their exalted po-
sition. 1t is said of King Leopold of
Belgium, however, that if he were not
king Of the Belgians, he would be king
among architects or among landscape
gardeners. His taste in these directions
is probably more marked than his taste
for ruling, for it is well known that
he detests the 'ceremonials of royalty,
and is never so happy as when inspect
ing and correcting designs for new
building, or planning the laying out Of
an estate. Brussels has much cause
to be grateful to him in this respect,
since it is to the keenness of his eye
for the beautiful in landscape that she
owes many of her open spaces, from
which delightful views of the sur
rounding country can be obtained.

CHARLOTTE NOT

Ra|eigh's Ball Team Walks
Right Over EN-.
SCORE JUST EVEN 10 TOO
SCORE JUST EVEN 10 TO 0
The Visitors Couldn't Get on to the
Curves of Sutch.
AND THEN THEY ALSO PILED UP ERRORS
A Cup to be Given by Charlotte For Series of
Games in That City by the Two Best
Teams in The State
League.

Charlotte's first appearance in Raleigh
was not bowling success. Possibly they
were weary on account of Durham UNI
pires. Maybe it was simply an off day
such as all teams will have at some
times More probably it was because
the Raleigh team has been resuscitated
and loaded up with lyddite. Any how,
Charlotte played listless, yellow ball,
while Raleighs team played together as
they have never done before and pound
ed Malcom's curves all over the lot.
Nineteen hits; think of it! Our average
for the past two weeks has been only
three! Raleigh dished up a glt-edge
article Burbanks made three pretty
catches in centre. Crockett and Farrell,
the new men showed up well, and Kelly,
who has moved to third base, was all
right, all right
On the other hand Charlotte was full
Of dope. Crawley was the only man in
the team who did not seem under the
influence"
Even old Jesse Oldham got dishearten-
Cd and let some men steal bases on
him; Kelly stealing third, besides MAX
ing two errors. He never did that when
he wore a u. n. c.. uniform. 1t is not
remarkable that they did not score. The
nearest they came to scoring was in the
seventh, when they got man as far as
third base, but he got caught trying to
70 home and was chased out between the
bases. AS / have remarked before, four
hits scattered along is more than apt to
produce a string of goose eggs.
The features of the game were the
team work of the Raleigh club, and the
pitching nd batting of Sutch. Out of
five times at bat, he got five hits. Quite
batting record for a pitcher, isn't it?
O'Brien wore a Charlotte uniform and
cracked out corking two Dagger. Char
lotte kicked on Glenn in the second in
ming, although he was umpiring a good
game, and by consent of Capt. Kelly he
retired in favor of Upchurch, who gave
apparent satisfaction
Kelly got his head in the way of one
Of Malcolms speed balls and at first it
looked as if he was seriously injured.
He was knocked over like a steer, the
ball bounding to the back stop. For sew
cral second he was unconscious, but he
soon came around all right and finished
out the game, playing fine ball Too
| much head work is not always wise.
There was somewhat of joy among
the local fans last night over the result
of the game "The hope that springs eter-
nal' is now swelling their breasts like
large fat yeast-cake.
The following is the batting lineup of
/ the teams:
