In 1897 ordinary news printing paper
sold for 1873 per ton. Since then the
price has been advanced by the trust
which controls it to $55 per ton, an in
crease Of 800 per ton or 10 per cent.
Trust officials claim they can make
$40 per ton on every ton OF paper.
This trust is enabled to exist on ac-
count Of the tariff On wood pulp and
paper, which forbids the articles com
kjng into the country, and which also
forcesA more rapid destruction of the
forests. Take the tariff away and this
trust would dissolve. 1t is a plain
proposition that free trade would do
more to curtail the powers of obnOx.
ious trusts than any other species of
legislation that could be framed.

Famous Gobelin Pieces.

Four of the finest pieces of tapestry
turned out by the celebrated Gobelin
looms in the last century have just
been purchased in Italy and brought
back to France by DR.. Henri de Roths-
child. who will add them to his COL
lection here. The pieces. besides be-
ing of artistic value, are of historic
interest, as they are gifts presented by
Louis Quinze to the Marquis de Grim
aldi, the Spanish prime minister OF
the time. They eventually became tho
property of the Portuguese family Do
Silva Carvalho, in whose palace at
Genoa they have hung for over a CEN
tury, and from whose descendants DR..
Henri de Rothschild purchased them
the other day. Three of the pieces are
reproductions by Coypel of scenes of
Quinalt's play "Armide." ON which
Gluck founded his opera, one bearing
the artists signature. The fourth de-
picts scene from another OF Quinalt's
plays. Copies of three of these pieces
of tapestry are preserved at the Louvre
and at the National furniture store
rooms, one Of them being unique. The
four were sold to DR.. de Rothschild
for 6 3,000.-London Telegraph.

THE ELEPHANT SNEEzED.

Unexpected Event Almost Created q
Panic at the Zoo.
Jolly, the zoo elephant, sneezed the
other morning and all the zoo attend
ants took vacation to laugh. The
elephant sneezes only about once in
fl years. When he sneezes it is an
ONT of p-osperity. indicating abun-
dant rs nd great commercial ac-
tivity phenomenon itself forms
an in, ! spectacle. Everything
was quie. . the zoo, when somebody
shouted to Lecturer Rollins: Look
out. the elephants going to sneeze!'
All the attendants deserted their posts
and ran to look. Jolly had drawn up
his sides until his back was bumped.
His tail was stiffiy horizontal. His
mouth was open and his eyes were
shut, while great tears the size Of pea
nuts rolled down his leathery face.
There was a great drawing up Of the
sides. long continued convulsion, a
trembling of the floor and then an ex-
plosion like the report Of the Boer can
non Long Tom" at Ladysmith. Half a
bucket of water shot out in stream
toward the monkeys cage, while the
elephants legs trembled as he pre-
pared for a second sneeze. There was
a rumbling like that of an earthquake
and a volcanic crack. All the animals
set up a roar. Dewey's cat jumped
down on the back of the goat and every
monkey screamed shrilly. The quagga
brayed and the kangaroo barked. The
leopards snarled and Prince Tiny Mite
nearly tumbled off his platform. jolly
had been known to sneeze only twice
before since Director-General Botock
had owned him.

Must Have Steel Platforms.

Instructions have been issued by the
mechanical department of the Rock
Island, that all passenger coaches OF the
road must be equipped with steel plat.
forms. Already many have been
equipped and as fast as the coaches can
be spared from the daily service they
are run into the shops and the old plat
forms taken off and replaced with now
steel ones.
This move on the part of the Rock
Isla nd is in the interest OF safety, as we'll
as the superiority Of the steel platforms
Wilson, superintendent OF motive power
and equipment of the road, says in re-
gard to the steel platform:
"It is. the greatest improvement to
passenger equipment of recent date, and
in conjunction with the present wide
vestibuling of our coaches and trains,
in point of solidity and strength. is the
nearest approach to perfection yet"
There is an interesting story in con-
nection with this change of wooden to
steel platforms. A short time ago there
was an accident in the yards Of one of
the roads centering in Chicago, which
proved to be a great object lesson. A
passenger coach, standing on side
track was run into with considerable
force by switch engine. The accident
proved disastrous to the switch engine,
as it had it's front end stove in, while the
only damage done to the coach was the
breaking of several panes ei glass, and
slight straining and splinteripg Of the
end. The coach was equipped with =
steel platform, and this protested the
car from serious damage.

Heart the opIy vital soot,

A prominent surgeon. discussing the
character of the wounds received on
the battlefields in South Africa, has
pointed out that experience of the
present campaign would seem to show
that the only absolutely fatal region is
the heart. Bullet wounds of the brain
are not necessarily fatal, judging from
the records of the last few weeks. and
this is presumably due to the small
size of the projectile, the velocity with
which it travels. and the modern prac-
tice of scientific surgery, by which
dangerous symptoms likely to arise
from injuries may be warded on. 1t
has therefore been suggested that, the
heart being the only really vital part
in the body. a steel covering should be
provided so as to protect that part
from bullets. A steel plate might be
attached to the soldiers tunics, and
doubtless the small shield could be SO
fixed as neither to impede movement
nor cause inconveience.

Chicago Special Changes Time.

On and after Sunday, April 90, the
Burlington's Chicago Special for Omaha,
Chicago, st. Joseph and st. Louis will
leave Denver at p. m. in place OF $3.50
a. m. as heretofore.
The change is made in response to a
very general demand on the part oil the
travelling public for fast afternoon
train from Denver to the east.
The new hour OF departure is better
than the old one in many ways. 1t
means that one can now make the 1000
mile journey from Denver to Chicago or
St. Louis with the loss of but one bust
ness day.
OF the Chicago Special itself it is un-
necessary to say more than that it has
no superior anywhere. Neither in
speed, comfort nor reliability is it sur
passed by any other train on the CONT
nent. G. W. Vallery, GenI Agt.

1t may be a little bit early to
toot our horns on the prospects for
an immense fruit crop in the Grand
valley this year, but to tell the
truth we feel very much like doing
so. Unforeseen things may arise
which might cut off some portion
of the crop promised, but if such
contingencies do not arise the crop
which will be harvested in the
Grand valley will be marvellous.

admits to having conidentially in
formed his government, that a
great majority of the Cubans in
Havana, whether affiliating with
the republican, democratic or ma
tienal parties, were outspoken in
favor of absolute independence OF
Cuba, and were disposed to make
trouble if the American occupation
continued after this year, or in the

Morehead City, n. c., June 17.-The
service at the Assembly Hall today
was Il fitting climax for the close of
the Seventeenth Annual session.
Rev. ii. NJ. North, of the Methodist
Church, very kindly called in mis- APP
pointment and worshipred with the
teachers. He did more than this, he
brought his most excellent choir and
they gave us some soul-stirring music.
1t was a sight to make the heart re-
joice to see teachers and friends from
all parts of the State join in opening
the service with that good old hymn
''All Hail the Power of Jesus Name"
Mr.. Dunbar who has delighted the
audiences at the assembly from time
to time also sang a sweet sacred solo.
Dir. Rondthaler took for his text,
Mica. sixth chapter and eighth verse:
''IIe hath showed thee, oh man, what
is good; and what doeth require of
thee to do justly and to have mercy,
and to walk humbly with God" The
sermon that followed was soul-inspir-
ing, and was the production of mas
ter's mind.
The following resolution was adopt
ed Saturday night Immediately after
the splendid address of DR.. Geo. L.
Winston:
Resolver, That it is the sense of the
Teachers Assembly, now in session at
Morehead City, that State Textile
School is imperatively needed for the
proper industrial training of our
youth; and that the General Assembly
of North Carolina should provide suit
able equipment and maintenance for
such school. That the Assembly will
use all it's power and influence to Sc
cure such legislative action as shall
result in providing this class of tech
nical school in this State at the earl
Jest practicable date. Adopted unan-
imously by the Assembly, June 49,,
1900.
1t is the unanimous opinion of the
members of the Teachers Assembly
that they have never been more hand
somely entertained at any meeting
in the history of the Assembly than
they have been this year by Mr.. SEQ
vile. We shall long remember his
special acts of kindness for our com
fort and pleasure during the Seven

LIFE GRADUALLY LENGTHENING.

Recent statistics prove that the average
health and length of life of human beings
have grown stronger and longer with
the years. In the fifteenth century, there
was not to be found q man or woman
over sixty years of age. 1t is clearly
demonstrated that the change for the
better has been brought about by mod
crn ideas and methods. One of the
agents which has been most instrumental
in preserving life is Hostetters Stomach
Btters. Thousands have died from stom-
ach and digestive disorders, who might
have survived had they resorted to the
Bitters. 1t is the greatest of known tonics
for stomach and digestive organs. 1t

years. There is nothing to equal it.
