Helps American Girls Get n Musical
Education.
United States Senator Hanna's wife
lately visited Nine. Marchesi, the noted
teacher Of singing, says the Paris cor
respondent of the New York World, to
ascertain what progress is being made
by two of the latter's pupils, American
girls whom Mrs. Hanna has supported
here for the last two years while they
have been studying music.
Mrs. Hanna also presented another
promising singer, a contralto from
Washington, the finest type of octo-
room, aged twenty. named Lydia Lei
land.
Lydia became engaged aboard ship
on the voyage from America to an Eng
lishman of prcpossessng manners, but
after investigation Mrs. Hanna con-
vinced her beautiful colored protege
that the fellow was worthless.
There was quite a little tragedy, for
Lyda's impulsiye love died hard. But
finally, when Mrs. Hanna was on the
point of sailing back If Lydia remained
obdurate, the girl announced that the
worst was over and that she would
henceforth devote herself solely to art.
Nine. Marches says the octoroon's
voice is perfect wonder"
Mrs. Hanna Is unostentatious about
these benevolinces AMI declines TO talk
about them.

Another ridiculous food fad has been

notion that one kind of food is needed
for the brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is de-
stroyei by indigestion or dyspepsia,

Tipping In Yaie's New Dining Hall

The Yale News says of the new prac-
tice of tipping in the university dining
hall Men. as a rule, go to the dining
hall TO procure good board at small
cost, and the university makes il possl-
ble TO do so without asking or expect
ing help from those who are served.
Men at some tables who are able TO
pay an extra price for service fee their
walters, while the majority of the
others cannot afford TO do so, and re-
fuse. This financial help for some and
lack Of it for others If continued is
bound to create dissatisfaction among
the walters. In addition to this, wait
ers are paid enough by the dining hall
management. and do not need further
assistance. Students would not think
of tipping n classmate for table service,
nor should they do so to men who are
thus employed to wait on them at
college. II the service in some in
stances Is poor, the cure for it is not in
tipping, but in reporting 1t 10 the man
agement, which invites such informa-
tion.

Senator Bailey Making Inquiry From

A Washington special says that
Senator J. w. Bailey OF Texas called
at the Interior Department today and
asked for an explanation of the de-

the division of grazing lands in the
KiOwa reservation. out of which has
grown a bitter feud between two of

tor Bailey insists that S. y. Burnett.
one of the cattlemen involved has
been unfairly dealt with by the depart
ment since his presence last spring,
the department outlined a division OF
the puasture lands to which the cattle
men agreed, but has since upon repre-
sentation made by Il. G. Suggs, another
cattleman, made another division of
the lands which materially Injuries
Burnett's range and in case of a hard
winter endangers the lives of about
10000 head of cattle which he is now

this to Suggs range which adjoins it.

factions of the cattlemen growing out
of this new allotment OF the grazing

General News.
General Funston Takes the Filipino Chief
by a Clever Ruse.

General Funston Takes the Filipino Chief
by a Clever Ruse.
MANILA, March % 90: 80 a. n.y.
General Funston, with the assis-
lance of a number of Macabebes,
has captured AguinaldO in the county
near Casiguran, nine miles from Ba-
Ter, and the northeast coast of the
island of Luzon. The rebel leader
and his entire staff are now in Manila.
General Funston employed a very
clever ruse to reach Aguinaldo. His
plan worked successfully, with the
result that the head and front of the
l~nsurrectiOn is now where he will do
no more harm to American interests.
Recent dispatches from Manila told
OF the departure of General Funston
on what many believed was an almost
hopeless expedition The very audac-
lty Of General Funston's plan, how
ever, was such that those who knew
him intimately had faith that he
would accomplish his object. Some
months ago letters were captured by
the Americans showing beyond per
adventure that the rebel leader was
hiding in the northeastern part of
the island.
General FunstOn's plan was that,
after he and his party landed as near
as possible to the place where Agui-
naldO was thought to be in hiding,
the native scouts were to pass them
selves off Us insurgents who, hav-
ing captured General Funston and
the other Americans, were convey
ing them to AguiualdO. When the
supposed prisoners were brought by
their alleged captOrs before Agui-
naldO they were to suddenly appear
in their true character, seize the
willy Filipino and make their way
back to the coast, where the gunboat
VlCksburg, which had conveyed the
party, was awaiting their return.
1t will readily be seen that the ad-
venture was a desperate one, as
treachery was always possible, and
General Funston had no absolute
means of knowing how many men
Aguinaldo had with him. 1t was
possible that he would have enough
to Overwhelm the Americans and
their native allies, but this did not
deter them for an instant. They &C
cepted the risk, with the result that
Aguinaldo is now safe in the hands
of the American military authorities
in Manila.

MARION, Ala, March 29.-Editor
Greer, of the Marion Standard, has
received a letter from Senator Nor
gan relative to his views on the
suffrage question. The following is
a interesting part of it:
"The Apportionment Bill and the
counting of the electoral vote with
out the question being raised as to
the constitutionality of the Presi-
Dental election in Louisiana and
Mississippi is a distinct victory for
white suffrage.
"Maryland has seen her oppor-
tunity and has FASTENED to profit by
it. When things are coming our
way there is no necessity for clam
orous discussion until they are set
tied, lest some one might interrupt.
So l think the least said is the best
just now on the negro question.
Those people will begin to draw off
to the Philippines at an early day.
They are already going to Hawaii
and we shall soon find room for
white people in the State. Then we
shall be a free people.
"When the time arrives 1 will
elaborate these views, but at pres
ent it is better not to discuss them.
We should take a lesson from the
Cubans and discuss the negro ques-
ton with closed doors in our conven-
ton.

DECREASING TOBACCO MARKETS.

Lynchburg's leaf tobacco sales
from October l, 1900, to March 8,
1901, amount to 14,O71,O 900 pounds,
compared with 1922, 700 pounds for
the corresp onding period Of the pre-
ceding tobacco year, a decrease for
the current year of 1857, 400 pounds.
Thus it will be seen that the decrease
of sales is not confined to this mar
ket, and that a uniform decrease of
25 per cent. in the quantity sold
may be counted upon in every mar
ket of any Importance. Danville's
sales will probably decrease in guam
tity 25 per cent. Of the record mark
of pounds sold last year. It is thought
the decrease on this market for the
year ending September 1, 1901, will
reach ten to twelve millions, com
pared with the figures for %1899-190O.

COTTON PLANTERS WARNED.
Increase the Acreage and the Price Will
Fall Below Six Cents.

Fau Below Six Cents.
DALLAS, TEXAS, March 28.-Colo-
mel E. S. Peters, President of the
Texas Cotton Growers Protective
Association, to day issued a call to
cotton growers of every county in
Texas to meet at their respective
court-houses on the first Saturday in
April to agree on a reduction in the
acreage of cotton. In his call Presi-
dent Peters says:
eff the cotton acreage of the South
be increased the price for the staple
will go below six cents next fall,
which will result in the greatest
financial calamity that has befallen
the Southern farmers in years. Now
is the time for action because the
price for the staple will be fixed ac-
cording to the acreage planted this
spring"
AS a further reason for reducing
the acreage, President Peters cites
the closing down of the cotton mills
of the country, which he says is
done for the purpose of depressing
the price of cotton.

THE SENATE AND THE BOSSES.

Bu4 in the Senate there has been a
decline not in the ability of the Sena-
tors, but in their relation to the pub
lie welfare. PatrOnage-mOngers,
bosses, car paign managers, repre-
sentatives of '~interests," find their
way there in increasing numbers.
There are Senators who could not be
elected to the House from any Con-
gressiOnal district; and there are
men whose seats have been directly
bought-not always nor oftenest by
the Senators themselves, but by the
'~'interests' that they stand for or
r identified with. Responsible to
nc definite public constituency,
there are always Senators who turn
foreign relations to partisan or per-
sonal profit. They seek to please
some faction of a party or to drive a
bargain with the President for
offices. If we ever have the frank
confessions of any recent President,
we shall be sure to hear that the
Senate gave him more trouble and
baked his administration oftener
for petty purposes than all other
branches of the government, and
Ottenest stood in the way of the
public welfare.-WOrld's Work for

our farmers to plant a large crop of

Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer
The Corporation Commission, which
is hereafter to be a State tax assess
ment board, will have it's hands full
and earn the extra salary. The main
line OF it's work will be the discovery
OF property which paysn 10 tax or not
enough tax, and there will be a
systematic effort to equalize. Some
years ago the Railroad Commission
was a tax assessment board, but had
little or no power and scope. The
new machinery act is so drawn as to
give it power and discretion. 1t is
not the desire that it shall be a
"nOsing'' committee. The main
thing is to see that all property in
the State is taxed on an equal foot
ing. Take the matter of cotton mills.
The cost per spindle is said to be
about $15, yet to illustrate the varia-
bleness of valuation, in CASTOR the
assessment is SIS, while in Mecklen-
burg and Alamance perhaps the
assessment is $12 and $14, respect
lively. Suppose all We're pat on the
tax list at approximately the cost?
These things are told to your CORES
pendent. 1t is further stated, and
the statement is given for what it Is
worth, that not a Judge in the State
lists his salary for the income tax.
