BETRAYAL OF AGUINALDO.
Taylor. Florida Boy,
Tells How He Secured IL.

J. ID. Taylor, Il prominent citizen of
Lake City, Fla, has received letter
from his son, Lieutenant James ID.
Taylor, Jr., which shows that the
young man, with kindness and seven
cigars. won over seven F'ilipinos and
secured the information which enabled
General Funston to capture Aguinaldo,
says the New York World. In very
modest. matter of fact way the lieuten-
ant tells his father about his clever eX-
plot and of General Funston's full ac-
acknowledgement of his services.
The letter, dated at Pantabangan,
Philippine Islands, Feb. Is, 1901, is in
part as follows:
Since last writing / have been hav-
ing some little work TO do which has
been Il source of great pleasure to me.
On the Sth seven insurrectos, with one
rife and six cartridges, presented
themselves. They were men who left
here last August with the major. They
were pretty well SCARED up, and l fed
them, gave them cigar each and ask
ed them few questions, and they an
swered me with all kinds of lies.
Il told them they were tired and no
doubt wanted TO see their families, so
after signing the oath of allegiance
they could so home and report the next
morning ready to tell the truth, for
did not believe word they had said,
and it was best for them to tell all.
THE next morning they came in
little more at ease and told a different
tale. BY questioning l found they had
concealed some letters in the woods,
and 1 went right out and got them.
After reading their letters l found that
they had not told me the whole truth
and began questioning them again and
found that Aguinaldo was in the town
they came from and all about him.
1.-TWO days later | got his special
messenger, who had all orders from
Aggie to his generals and letters of
great Importance. l buried him with
all letters out that night at moonrise,
and in three days he was in Manila.
They had a special train waiting him
when he reached the railroad. For my
work / received the inclosed message
from General Funston, which l think
very nice of him."
The telegram referred to says:
General Funston desires to express his thanks to
and appreciation of your judgment and energy in
getting the valuable letters and information from
Agpaldo's messengers; also please convey his
appreciation TO your president BY command
Brigadier General Funston.

infancy. In Manchuria sooner or later
the door may possibly be closed. BE
that as it may, the greatest potentiali-
ties in respect of commerce and the
largest unopened markets in the world
are to be found in the great Chinese
empire, with it's latent resources and
vast population. The Chinese, truly
virile race, are more industrious and
on the average more intelligent than
the people OF India. They are long
way in advance of them in the desire
for progress, comfort, material civili-
cation and n knowledge of the English
language.
Japan affords convincing evidence
that the east can avail itself of what is
iliZation without losing the best fea-
lures of Orientalism. Less than 40
years ago the Japanese were in n state
of practical seclusion. Within that pc
riod they have assimilated European
knowledge, mastered European science
and customs, and with the assistance
of European employees have adopted
western methods and appliances to an
astonishing extent. 1t is quite with
in the bounds of possibility that in the
course of time the Chinese may do as
the Japanese have done. Physically
and mentally the Chinese are quite as
capable, and they are even IIore capa-
bic in trade, while the Japanese excel
in military and naval organization"

She Declined.

Few American youths have careers
made for them. Those who deplore
this fact and Shun the stings of self
effort may find tonic in the reply of n
western girl to an offer of marriage.
4 young man of more book learn
ing than force of character lost the
young wife who had toiled to support
him, returned to his native town for
consolation and found it. Some months
later she. too. passed away, and the
sad youth soon appealed to a well
known clergyman for assistance in
finding n helpmate.
The minister introduced him to a
western girl of health and energy,
who the next day received n plaintive
note from the widower. He declared
that the Lord had made great inroads
upon his marital affections. and it now
seemed to be his will that she would
repair the breaches of his life.'
The reply. which the clergyman
keeps today as one of the choicest
specimens OF a varied collection, reads
simply:

The French economist, Paul Leroy
Beaulieu. in an article in the Neues
Weiner Tagblatt discussing which civ
ilized nation is likely to exploit China,
says:
1T is probable that the chief role will
fall to the United States. especially
when the Nicaragua canal has been
cut. China will then for economic pur-
poses become an American colony.
The Americans know this. and their
whole attitude during recent events
has been marked by finesse and fore

lone of the old slang phrases of the
stage" said Muggles, who used to be
a good actor, twas ito pong. This
means, or used to mean, using your
own language-that is, playing a part
without cues of the proper lines, re-
lying only upon a knowledge of the
play to carry you through. Years ago
on the road there used to be some high
~ ludicrous situations in consequence
of n new play being produced in a
hurry The stage manager, however,
had wonderful genius for patching
up hitch. When circumstances were
necessary, he would sometimes lower a
front scene and tell the low comedian
and chambermaid to go on and keep
it up and while they did so he would
arrange how the play had to be con-
tinued
"Of course. actors are expected to
help one another out of a difficulty,
but at times old grudges were paid off.
For instance, 1 remember on one &C.
casion a letter had to be read in one
scene. Unfortunately this letter could
not be found. so n 'dummy'-that is,

Say, dad,' said the actor who had
to read the letter, seeing it blank,

contains good news
But dad tumbled to the occasion
and replied: NO. Tom, you read it.
I've mislaid my spectacles.'
Bless me- said Tom, 1T is written
so badly can't make out n word of it.
Here, Nelly, you read it,
THE unsuspecting Nelly takes the
letter, and seeing it blank says: NO.
father had better read it. He will be
able to make it out better. I'll go and
fetch your spectacles. 1 know where
they are And off she goes.
1.-The old man is again equal TO the
occasion and calls out to her: Never
mind bringing them, Nelly. I'll come
and get them Then he walked off and
the stage manager had to rearrange
the scene.

ASKS 200 DAMAGES.
Lady Falls in Well and Has to Have a Leg
Amputated. I.


There is a suit that is to be tried
here next week at the Superior court
that will be of much interest. 1t is for
$4,000 damages against the Seaboard
Air Line, and is brought by Mrs. Eve
lire Brid~ers.
1t appears from the complaint by her
attorneys, Messrs. Armistead Jones
and ]. G.. L. Harris, that in October 1895
Mrs. Bridgers went TO the depot at
Louisburg to meet the train. This be-
ing late, the agent told her that she
might remain in house by the water
tank until the train came. In this house
was a well, the top being uncovered.
Hearing the train blow she started out,
fell in the well, and was SO badly in
jured that one leg had to he amputated
above the knee. Mrs. BI'idgers claims
that the we'll was opened by the agent
and that he did not warn her of its
being in the house. In his reply for
the road, Capt. w. H. Day says that
the accident was due to the carelessness
of Mrs. Bridgers.

ton are already at work in preparing
for great Fair this fall. Replies nave

large majority, over rs per cent OF the
newly appointed members Of the execu-
tive committee, accepting the appoint
ment and promising hearty co-opera-
ton.
Complete premium lists for field and
garden products have already been sent
out by Treasurer and Assistant Secre-
tary G. b. benson, thus giving the pro-
ducer an opportunity to plant for prem
iums. The list is the most complete
ever issued.
Besides the premiums offered in list
sent out some special premiums will be
announced during the summer, and The
State Farmers Alliance, in accordance
with resolution adopted at the meeting
in Hillsboro, viii offer premiums TO
the sub-alliances making the best ex-
hibits at the fair.
Among other things Secretary Pogue
writes this in the introduction to the
premium lists issued:
The Forty-first Annual Fair of the
North Carolina Agricultural Society,
will be held on its grounds at Raleigh,
October 21st to 18th next. and will be
the most comprehensive and interesting
exposition Of the resources and indus
tries of the South in the history of the
society.
The Fair Of 1900 was universally
acknowledged as one of the best ever
held in it's history, in the exhibition OF
material and skill. in the pleasure and
qualification of its patrons, and in the
financial results to the credit of the
society.
The management now invites you to
cooperate in a greater fair still TO-,
1901, and cordially ask that the farm
ers and manufacturers, the mechanics,
and men OF business affairs. unite in
the display OF the products of the soil
the dairy. the shop, the studio
the stock yard and the mill.
The people of North Carolina are
earnestly requested to make the forty
first fair memorable by their contribu-
tions from the artistic, household and
educational departments. Premiums in
great variety will be offered, and If
any meritorious subjects have been
heretofore omitted, you Gre invited to
address the secretary, chat everything
which represents the skill and taste o.
men and woman may be provided for
Let every member of the household
contribute of his labor and skill And
let us all gather for mutual profit and
instruction. and for the pleasures of the
annual reunion which increases with
every recurring State Fair.

Secretary Pogue Will gladly answer
all letters sent him. He and the Pres
ident. Gen. w. r. Cox, are determined
to leave no stone unturned to make a

Friday

The present week in Raleigh will wind
up with two ball games at the Fair
grounds. The first of these will be be-
tween the ball teams of the A. and M.
College and of Oak Ridge. The two clubs
are said to be very evenly matched and
an interesting game may be looked for.
Both the clubs are practicing diligently,
and both are confident of success.
On Saturday Trinity and Wake Forest
meet on the diamond Both these clubs
have friends and admirers in Raleigh and
the support from the bleachers and the
grand stand will be rather evenly divid-
ed. Being Saturday afternoon it is ex-
pected that there will be many young
ladies in attendance from the schools in
the city and delegations from both Wake
Forest and Trinity will be present. No
charge will be made for ladies, and seats
in the grand stand will be Is cents. The
admission to the grounds is 25 cents.

ROBERTS WANTS ENDORSEMENT.
and Democratic Committee is Seriously
Called on to Give 1t.


The following call has been issued
"The Raleigh Township Democratic
Executive Committee is hereby called to
meet Tuesday, April IL, 1901, at o'clock.
in the mayors office. A full attendance
is desired.
ID. s. HAMILTON, Chairman"
1t is understood that this meeting is to
consider the question of endorsing Harry
II. Roberts for appointment by the Clerk
of the Court for Justice of the Peace in
Raleigh township.
We take it that no Democrat will vote
to endorse Mr.. Roberts. 1t will be re-
membered that he was appointed to the
position of Justice of the Peace upon the
recommendation of Jim Young and other
Wake county Fusion legislators by the
Fusion Legislature six years ago. At
that time the appointment was criticized
by every true Democrat in Raleigh in
unmeasured terms. Since that time he
has done nothing to make him worthy Of
the endorsement by the Democratic Exc
cutive Committee. 1t is surprising that
he should ask the committee for it's en-
dorsement. 1t would be a serious mistake
for the Democratic party to become re-
sponsible for the official acts of Roberts.
