GOING TO WASHINGTON BARRACKS.
Two Companies of the Eleventh In
fantrN ErOm Porto Rico.

The troops which will return from Porto
Rico as result of the discontinuance of
the island as military department and its
transfer to the department of the east as
district have been assigned to stations in
this country as follows: Two companies of
the 18th Infantry will go to the Washing
ton barracks. while two other companies
of the same regiment will be sent to Fort
Mcpherson, Ga. Two troops of the 9Th
Cavalry will be assigned to jefferson bar
racks, No, and two other troops of the
same regiment will go to Fort Ethan Allen,
Vt.
One reason for sending two companies of
the 18th Infantry to the Washington bar
racks is to make use Of them in the in
augural parade March next After
that date they may be sent to western
posts. The companies which return are
l., K. l. and NJ and they will leave the
island about December 10. The command
is under Major Macklin, and consists of
fourteen officers and 427 enlisted men.

The Foundation of the Capital.

Mr.. George Alfred Townsend, who has
given years Of investigation and study to
the subject, will tell the story Of the foun-
dation of the national capital to the Sons of
the American Revolution at their regular
meeting next Wednesday evening at Rausch-
ers. Just now it is the most interesting
topic that could be suggested in view of the
approaching centennial, and at all times the
historical incidents connected with the To-
cation Of the federal city make 1t one Of
the most fascinating chapters in American
history

A DANGER POINTED OUT.

These men VINO compose some Of
the very best and mc2t substantial
citiZers c' my S-ate wcr1.d be G,s.ran-
c1.sed while the town-negro dude
would vote and be eligible to hold office
according to the provisions Of The
amendment. This danger, in addition
ID the belief that the amendment IS
unconstitutional will cause a large
numGer OF the voters OF North Caro-
lima TO reject this amendment at the
polls.
The supporters of uns amendment
have recently realized that this is true.
In fact, they have just admitted That
Jhey cannot sustain this measure in
arguing before the people. hold in my
hand the proof of that confession On
last Thursday Judge Brown, one OF the
State Circuit Court Judges OF North
Carolina, while hOding court at Will
mington, gave to the press an inter.
view in which he not only expressed
an CpniCl aoor. the constJtutionality
of the proposed amendment, but he
went further and advised his political
fIrerds to amend it in order to avert
defeat cit the polls.
But, Mr.. President, this section at
tempting to instruct the court how to
constrlle the amendment will not fool
the voters OF the State into supporting
such a dangerous scheme. They have
had intelligence enough to see the dan
ger in section 5. The same intelligence
will guard them against this new de-
vice. The vCSers Of North Carolina
are intelligent enough to know that
there is not only grave, fl not certain
danger to 10000 white voters in this
amendment, but they also know that if
this amendment were adopted and sec.
tion eliminated no power under
heaven could restore to those voters
their ballot except by again amending
the constitution.
These 10000 illiterate white voters
are intelligent enough to know that
when Cnce disfranchised they woud
nave no vote to help change the amend
ment and help wipe out the wrong.
They know that the average politician
only fears the people SO long as they
have vote.
Mr.. President, this whole scheme is
not only flaught with danger. but 1T il.
unnecessary. 1t puts the South in a
false and unenv.ab1e position to at.
tempt to deal with suffrage in this I'M
candid manner"

LONDON'S WOMAN BARBER.

She Is Learned In the Mysteries OF
Hypnotic Influence.
The Lady BARRIERS associaticn-the
original one, mark you-has existed
eleven years, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette. It's present address is 655 Chan
Gerry lane, and its latest proprietor
Nine. st. Quentin, who has been in
possession since June last. She is a
charming and accomplished lady
learned in the mysteries of hypnotic
influence, and has even views on Budd-
ha. In response to the invitation con-
tanned in the announcement that ma
dame was at home, coupled with the
parenthetical promise Of tea, the writer
descended to the pleasant basement
roonk with the electric lamps diffus-
ing brightly warm color through the
crimson shades, and beheld the priest
esses of the razor performing the GUS
tomary rites upon various stubbly and
so entirely pleasant process that the
writer remembered with a secret JOY
that he had not shaved that morning.
Presently it was his turn, and, plac-
Ing his head upon the pad. he suffered
himself to be lathered and prepared
for sacrifice. To be shaved by deft-
handed woman is almost a magical
process. There is none of the "slish-
slashing" of the gentleman whom
bountiful nature intended to be a
hedge carpenter. No, no. There Is
something smooth and gliding over
ones cheek, with here and there the
light pressure of delicate fingers, and,
presto! one emerges with a chin that
is equal without shadow Of depreca-
tion to every domestic and ante-mari-
tai demand upon it.

The British Suffer Another Repulse
From the Beers.

London, By Cable.-London accepts
as true the Boer statement that Cen
eral Butler has failed again These
statements were passed by the British
censor at Alden and are read in the
light Of Mr.. Balfour's announcement
in the Commons that General Butler
is not pressing his advance Mr. Win
Ston Churchill wires that Vaal Krantz
was impracticable for the guns which
were needed to support a further ad-
vance. His cablegram leaves General
Butler ON Tuesday night sending
fresh brigade to relieve tine tired hol-
ders of Vaal Krantz. The descriptive
writers with General Butler were al
lowed a rather free hand, again ex
planning the ugly position which the
British held and the natural obstacles
which had to be overcome. SO it is
easy to infer that with Boer rifemen
and artillery defending them, these
hills, ravines and jungles have not
been overcome, and thus the public
prepared in advance for bad news
Heliograms from Ladysmith, dated
Monday, describe the effect General
Buffers camonade had on the worn
garrison. Hope ran high that the Ions
period OF Inactivity and tediun was
drawing to a close. The crash of the
gums was almost continuous for 10

many as 20 shells burst in a minute.
The Beers, preparing always for THE
possibility of defeat, were driving
herds and sending long wagon trains
toward the Drakensberg passes. In

broken only by frogs croaking and the
occasional blaze of star shells, sur

Mr.. Glad stone as q Book Expert.

The late Mr.. Quaritch had a high
opinion of Mr.. Gladstone's knowledge
Of antique books, and when the Grand
Old Man visited, as he often did, the
shop in Piccadilly he was invariably
shown by the proprietor any curiosity
that CHANGED TO be in his possession.
One day Mr.. Quaritch handed Mr..
Gladstone Sir Thomas Elyot's black
letter, "Castell Of Helth," printed in
1884, and said, do you see anything
wrong with it?' The old statesman
fixed h;v pince-nez and scanned the
title-page. Something excited his sus-
picion, so he picked up magnifying
glass, and had a good look at the print
ing. "Fac-similed, and not type i'm
preston, 1 fancy, Mr.. Quaritch.' was
Mr.. Gladstones comment. He was
right; the title page was missing, but
it had been restored so ingeniously as
to deceive anybody but an expert. Mr..
Quaritch was wont to say, 'In most
points about a book Gladstone's Just
about as cute as am myself.'-Lon-

Hon. Marion Butler, United States
Senate
Dear Senator: You ask me if | have
examined the constitutional amend
State OF North Carolina, ard my opin-
ion in regard to the oonstitutionality
of section 5, and whether or not the
whole amendment would fall if that
section lis declared unconstitutional I
have examined the amendment, and
find that its general purpose seems to
be to prohibit ignorant and unedu-
Gated people from exercising the right
of suffrage in that State. If section 5
Of the amendment were stricken out
undoubtedly the act would be SUSTAIN
ed by the courts.
It is always the purpose of the
courts to hold only such portions oil an
act or amendment unconstitutional as
clearly cannot be sustained, and sus-
tain the rest of the act if it can be
done and yet leave clear, distinct
and unmistakable provision carrying
out the main purpose of the legisla-
ture
The act certainly would not come
under the provision of the rules laid
down by Chief Justice Shaw in War

Getting Out of Russia.

An English woman who had been
travelling in Russia seems to have
found it easier to get in than to get
out Of the cZar's country. She sent
her passport to the authorities before
starting in order to have it vised, and
then blithely made for the frontier.
Arriving there, she was Immediately
detained and taken before the powers
that not only be, but also do, at the
Russian frontier. Here she was in
formed that her passport did not per-
nit her to leave the country, anu that
She would be obliged to make herself
comfortable, while the police found all
she had done while in the country. At
first she was rather pleased of how
she would tell her friends about it
when she got home. But when she
found that she had to pay not only for
her room, her meals, service and all
that sort of thing. but also for the
kilograms, which the authorities were
exchanging in regard to her case,
the pleasure dwindled as rapidly as her
funds did. She finally got off, how
ever, but without receiving any apol-
ogy or any reimbursement.-N

Supreme Court that does not carry out

Old Roman Gold.

The excavation of the site of the an
rient Forum at Rome still continues to
be successfully prosecuted. Last week
for instance, two of the workmen en-
gagged in the search for antiquities
laid open a sewer dating from the
time of Nero, and suddenly became
aware of the presence of a glittering
substance.
They proceeded to the discovery Of
quantity of gold coins EMBEDDED in the
sediment of the sewer They filed a
hat with these coins, which when
washed, enumerated and classified
proved to be gold pieces of the fourth
and fifth centuries that had evidently
been thrown where they were fou1d
for concealment at the time of an H.
rursion Of the barbarians, their owners
having had no opportunity of recover
ing them. They are all beautifully
preserved, and many of them were
evidently fresh from the mint. They
are 319 in number and belong to seven
different reigns.-LondOn Daily News.

The fir. statistics of the Journal of
Commerce for 1899 make startling
showing both of the extent of fire de-
struction and of its alarming growth.
In the United States and Canada last
year fire destroyed property to the
extent of $136, 773, 200, an increase of
more than SIT, 600, COO over the losses
of 1898 and more than $26, 600, 900
over those Of 1897. Why this enorm-
Gus loss ? Especially why this phen-
omenal increase of loss from year to
year In the cities, where nearly
all the fires occur, we are supposed to
be building more and more in fire.
