Attempted Murder.

The lower part of Danville came
within an ace of being the scene OF
tragedy Saturday night, when Harvey
Lamberson attempted to murder his
wife. Goaded on to desperation by
charge Of inhdelity preferred against
him by his wife, he grabbed her, threw
her to the floor and clasping her throat
with his left hand, he whipped out a
huge knife with his right, and holding
it aloft he exclaimed: 81 am going
to cut your throat and then XII myself.
He was about to plunge the blade in
to his victim, when his brother Lloyd,
who lives near bye, and who had been
attracted by the woman's screams,
dashed in upon the scene. A lively
tussel ensued but the fend was finally
disarmed. Meanwhile the woman es-
capped. Lloyd then went to his own
home. Foiled in his purpose, the
scoundrel with his blood hunger still
unappeased. set fire to his home, and
calling to his wife who he imagined
was somewhere within hearing dis
tance, swatch the d place burn"
The house and its contents were
entrel destroyed. Mrs. Lamberson
was in critical condition from the
effects of the shock. Her face was
confused, and her general appearance
gave evidence of her husbands hrut
ality. Lamberson made an attempt
to escape, but was captured and placed
In the county Jail.
About eight years ago Lambersor
attempted to take the life of the late
Jesse zimmerman and in consequence
he had to spend IS months in the
Eastern Pennitentlary.

A FRIVOLOUS city Editor.

This is the story of an earnest woman
reporter and a frivolous city editor 1t
is told in the woman's column of the New
York Commercial Advertiser and runs
thus:
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. who as
hires to the presidency of the National
Woman Suffrage Association, now holding
its annual convention at Washington, IS
a New Yorker and almost as domestic as
she is clever and progressive. one day
some wears ago, when the women suf-
fraaistS were storning the capital at Al
bany in order to change the hfteenth
amendment of the constitution to their
liking young newspaper woman was
sent TO interview Mrs. Gait. incidentally,
the newspaper woman had been signing
equal rights petitions wherever she came
ACROSS them-they were scattered all over
the town-aIthough she was under q, and,
of course, couldn't have voted even II the
ballot had been granted to her seX) Inc
Young reporter Travelled out to Long Isl
and. where Mrs. Gait lived, and was duly
impressed by what she saw and heard
She was violent suffragist when she re-
turned Her STORY was solemn and Gu
Iogistic and her city editor didn't like it,
He was no respecter of persons, and es>
pecially of women more strong minded
ihan himself. He liked gaiety and flip
pancy and fun and he professed to be
able to find them in the most solemn con-
claves of progressive women.
you've described the house and never
said a word about the catnip growing in
the garden" he said as he looked over
the manuscript, land you've never men
toned that she purred-but never mind;
if you're so much in earnest you needn't
change 1t. I'll make a nice head for it,"
and she went away pacified. Her state of
mind was not exactly pacific the next
morning, however, when she picked up
the paper TO find her learned article
crowned with the following caption

is THERE A TREATY.

The Sun Of New York is one of the Re-
publican papers which do not sympathize
with the administrators effort to nave
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty amended.
From the tone of it's articles the impress
sion is easily gained that it does not have
great deal of respect for the diplomatic
ability of the Secretary of State 1t takes
the ground that there is. as a matter OF
fact, no binding Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
that there is no such treaty that has
been "constitutionally ratified by both the
parties to it."
Assuming that this statement of the
Sun is correct, there has sbeen a very
great deal of time lost in discussing that
which has no existence. Periodically, dur
ing the last half century, the Clayton
Bulwer treaty has come to the front for
some reason or other, and been discussed
at considerable length. 1t seems strange
therefore to be told by a paper that has
always been considered an authority,
that there is no such treaty. IL it be true
that there is no Clayton-Bulwer treaty
that is binding, then there is no treaty
in the way of the building of the Nicara-
qua canal Inere IS no reason WHY VIC
should ask Great Britain to consent to
modification of any treaty, or ask any one
Of the Powers of Europe to consent TO our
terrifying the Nicaragua canal after we
have built it. The thing for us to do is 10
get the necessary concessions from Mica
ragua and Costa Rica, pass the canal bill
and begin the construction of the canal at
the earliest possible day.
But is it not probable that what the
Sun says is just little misleading? 1t
can hardly be that the alleged informa
ton which it publishes has been in its
keeping exclusively. 1t will be discovered,
in all probability, that the treaty is bind
ing notwithstanding the statements which
the sun makes as to it's not having been
ratified by the parties to it.

AN INTERESTING CONTEST.

The World and Journal of New York
are trying apparently to see which of them
will be first to claim the credit of having
forced a member of the cabinet to resign
For several weeks the World announced
almost daily that Mr.. Gage, Secretary of
the Treasury, would have to go, because
of his transactions with the National City
Bank of New York. 1t trained all of its
guns on him and loaded them with the
biggest and blacklist type at it's command
From all accounts, he successfully lodged
the shots that were aimed at him. AT any
rate, he is still Secretary of the Treasury
and the firing from the kopje occupied by
the World has about ceased.
Now the Journal announces that Mr.
Hay Secretary of State, must retire. Mr.
Hays offense is that he negotiated the
amendment TO the Clayton Bulwer treaty
by which the United States Is relieved of
any obligation that may have existed not
10 construct the Nicaragua canal without
the cooperation and assistance of Great
Britain, and at the same time agrees that
the canal. when constructed, shall be neu-
trail 1t may be that the Journal will com
pei the Secretary of State to go. II 1t sue
ceeds in doing so it will have the scalp
of cabinet officer to its credit and will
be able TO assert that it is a greater power
than the World.
1t is doubtful, however, if the Journal
will be more successful than the World
was. These two papers are very enterprls-
ing. but it is safe to assume that their
influence with those who control public
opinion Is not as great as they would have
the public believe. 1t would be quite an
advertisement, of course, for either of
them to be able to say that 1t had driven
a cabinet officer from his position in the
government, but at present there are no
indications that either will succeed in get
ting an advertisement of that kind

STONE AGAINST 500. 900.

The question whether Milwaukee or
Kansas City or some other city shall have
the Democratic National Convention will
be settled al the meeting of the Demo-
cratic National Committee to-day. Mil
waukee has the money-S100 OO0-for the
expenses of the convention. She will not
have the trouble TO raise the expense
money if she is selected, that Philadel-
phia is having Philadelphia offered the
Republican National Committee 100000 30
hold the Republican National Convention
in that city, and she has been making ex-
traordinary efforts, since her offer was ac-
cepted, to raise that sum, and has not yet
succeeded.
But ii Is not certain that Milwaukee
will get the Democratic National Conven-
ton. Kansas City has a big delegation
in Washington working for her. Just
what she mas TO offer is not known. 1t is
said that her big card is ex-Gov. Stone,
a member of the National Committee. No
doubt Mr.. Stone is very much in favor
of Kansas City, because that city is in
his state, but unless she can come forward
with as large an offer of money as Mil
waukee has the chances are that the beer
making city will get the prize. Great as
Mr.. Stones influence is with the National
Committee, it is impossible for him to talk
as eloquently to the committee for Kan
sas City as money win talk for Milwau-
kee. If Kansas City had 100000 to offer
for the convention the prospect is she
would get it. as she is more centrally To-
Gated but it is probable that the city that
puts up the necessary money will be the
fortunate one.

Admiral Dewey is opposed to the forti-
flying of the Nicaragua canal for the
reasons that IL would cost too much
money, and there is no need for 1t. We
have now one OF the best navies in the
world for it's tonnage, and we are con-
stantly adding to it. The power and pres
tige of this navy, the Admiral says, would
be a sufficient guarantee of the safety of
the canal in the event of war. According
to a writer in the Herald a few days ago,
it has been estimated that to fortify the
canal and place a floating force in Lake
Nicaragua would cost no less than S70,-
100000, or approximately half as much as
il would cost 90 construct the canal

nrkINLEY LOSING GROUND.

President Mckinley appears to be losing
ground in New England. It Is claimed by
many of those who undertake to keep
abreast of public sentiment in that section
that thousands Of both Republicans and
Democrats who voted for him I'm 1896 will
not vote for him this year. They will
either vote for Mr.. Bryan or will not vote
al all. In 1896 Mr.. McKinIey's plurality
| in Massachusetts over Mr.. Bryan was 49,
OOO In Connecticut, which is generally a
doubtful state, Mr., McKinley's plurality
was over $1,000 Unless all signs fail he
will. have no such pluraHties this year in
those states.
Mr.. Mckinley is regarded as a weak
man. He has failed 20 impress upon the
members of his party that he is the man
for the high office he holds. There is not
of course any doubt about his integrity.
but there is doubt about his having a mind
Of his own. There is a very strong i'm
preston in New England, If what is APP
pearing in the newspapers of that sec
ton is to be believed, that Senator Hanna
Is he real president, and there is a decided
feeling against the Senator. He is re-
garded as a plutocrat, and there is a sus-
picion that he would sacrifice the institu-
tons Of the country 90 crafty his ambi-
ton.
The main charge against the President.
however, seems 10 be that ne has per-
mitted his administration to be put in the
position of being willing that the govern
ment shan become imperialistic. There is
no doubt that Senator Hoar has had much
to do with the growth of public sentiment
in New England against the administra-
ton. He has been against the admins
tration's pan for dealing with the Phil
ippines ever since that plan was made
public. There are many Democrats. as
weh Republicans. in his section of the
country who agree with him that il would
be dangerous to republican institutions to
hold the Philippines as a permanent pos
session
The failure of the President to stand
by his position in favor of Regulating for
Porto Rico under the constitution is mem
toned as another Indication of his lack of
backbone 1t is argued that if he
had maintained firmly the position he
took, and not weakly yielded to the de-
HlduuS oil the extreme pfOtectlOnlStS, the
Democrats would not have had the op-
portunity they now have of forcing the
Republicans into position which justifies
the charge that their party is dragging
the government towards imperialism.
While it is said that there are still a
good many Democrats in New England
who are against Mr.. Bryan the number is
steadily decreasing. His sincerity is ad-
mitted, and his firmness in adhering TO
the principles for which he has been con-
tending for more than four years COM
mands respect. He may not be able to
carry any one of the New England states,
though it is not considered certain that
he win not, but his vote win be very much
larger than it was in the last presidential
contest, The change that is taking place
in New England is also taking place in
states which were carried by Mckinley
by very narrow majorities in 1896 A very
little change in these states means the
election of Mr.. Bryan.

Just n Puppy Trick.

A rector writes from Honiton. England
SAYS an exchange. to record an instance
of a very high order of intelligence in an
animal, of a power of reasoning. Il have
a bullpup. aged ten months and bulldog
4 years old both of which live in the
house and are great pets. A short time
ago my wife was ILL., and although the
older dog, owing to his quiet and soda Q
way, was allowed to enter her ROOM the
puppy was never admitted The nurse
could always tell which dog was at the
door. because the older dog gave one sin
gle and gentle scratch and then remained
quiet, while the puppy scratched violently
and frequently and whlned. The puppy
apparently could not understand why she
was not admitted, and felt hef exclusion
sorely. One day she scratched furiously
as usual. No notice was taken. Present.
ly she was heard going fiop-hop down
stairs. In few minutes the single gen
tle scratch of the old dog was heard the
door was opened ana there were both
dogs. and, strange 60 say, from that time
the puppy so initiated the scratch of ne
other dog that 1t was impossible to tell
which was at the door. Undoubtedly the
puppy went and asked the old dog to show
her how he gained admission. How else
can one explain the fact?

THE oUTLooK FOR FRUIT.

The recent freeze does not appear to have
done any harm in this state to the fruit
trees. State Entomologist Scott is quoted
as saying that the peach trees were not
hurt, and that the prospects for a very
large crop of peaches are excellent The
owners of the peach orchards of the state
hold about the same opinion 1t seems
that the buds had not begun to swell when
the freeze came. 1t is the understanding
that instead of lessening the chances for a
large crop it really increased them. 1t set
the trees back so that in the event of a
freeze later on they would be In a con-
dition to endure it without harm.
The reports received from Florida re-
There is no doubt that on the Gulf coast
the trees were not hurt in the least but
1t is doubtful yet as to the effect of the
freeze on the trees in the Northern part
of the state. Some reports say that The
trees were in the best possible condition
for withstanding freeze, there being but
little, if any, sap in them. Other reports
are 10 the effect that they are pretty badly
damaged.
1t will not be possible to know the exact
truth probably for several days, and per-
haps for several weeks. 1t is pointed out
in our dispatches that the full extent OF
the freeze of last winter was not known
until late in the following summer. The
cold of last Saturday and Sunday nights
was very severe for this section of the
South If the trees had been fun of sap
there is no doubt that in the northern part
of the state they would have been badly
damaged. 1t is to be hoped that the view
taken by experts in orange culture, name
ly that the trees are not hurt very much,
will prove to be the correct one. We can
not help to recall, however, that about the
sa me sort of reports as we are receiving
now were sent out after the cold spell of
last year.
The interest in the Florida orange is not
confined to that state. II is widespread,
because there is no orange elsewhere that
compares with 1t. The whole country will
rejoice, therefore, if it turns out that the
orange groves are not injured.
