WILL WAIT ON CONGRESS.
Delegates of Cuban Convention Wants
to Know Americas Attitude.

10 NnOW HHICItCG NIhiluUC
Havana, March 2.-Senor Capote,
president of the Cuban constitutional
convention, called upon Governor
General Wood yesterday morning and
informed him that the convention felt
itself in an embarrassing position,
owing to the vote in the United States
seate. He said the delegates had not
decided whether to continue the ses-
sions or dissolve. Gov. Wood advised
him to urge the convention not to take
any rash action but to complete its
work as originally outlined and to
draw up an electoral law.
In the afternoon the delegates held
an informal meeting and, after some
discussion, agreed to wait until con-
gress had acted upon the Cuban
amendment.

FIFTY thousand Turkish Troops to
Concentrate on Border.
London March 1.-"Al imperial
trade orders the concentration of So
600 Turkish troops on the Bulgarian
frontier near Kustendil," says the
Constantinople correspondent Of the
Daily Mail This move is made on
the advice of the ministry of war
owing to the agitation of revolution
airy Bulgarian committees in Macedo-
MIA, which are assuming the form of
brigandage on large scale. Prince
Ferdinand opposes the operations Of
the Macedonian committees but it is
believed he will be powerless to stop
them, and there is no doubt the SYM
pathizers in Bulgaria are providing
the promoters of the revolution with
arms. Numerous arrests of armed
Bulgarians in Macedonia have been
made, among them Bulgarian officers,
priests and merchants and all prove
to be accomplices in the revolutionary
movement"

Previous to 1852 the furniture that belonged to
the state was kept in vast storerooms. and
every month two a transient minister or
feeting ambassador would 'requsitiCn' a set
of Gobeln tapestry, a Boule writing desk, a
Faconnet clock, Cafieri candelabrum or a
Clodion vase, for some official residence or en-
bassy. Owing to the initiative of NJ Molinier
the state Misunderstanding the heritage Of
French soYereigns. from Louis XIII to Ma
poleon III-was collected in one warehouse on
the Quai dOrsay. This was the first step.
Some years later this warehouse was trans
formed into a museum and placed under the
control Of the Ministry of Fine Arts, safe from
official pillage and plunder. Then came the
Worlds Fair of 1900. for which NJ. Moliner or
ganized the retrospective collection Of furniture
that attracted universal attention in the Petit
Palais. The success was so great that the gov
ernment decided that a new gallery in the
Louvre should be created for specimens of his
torical furniture selected from the national ware
house and this gallery, consisting of five Of the
largest rooms of the southern front of the
Louvre, was thrown open to the public on
Tuesday.
A large folding door, carved in the reign of
Louis XIV and surmOunted by tapestry bearing
the arms of France serves as the entrance TO

FURNITURE IN THE LOUVRE.
AN INNOVATION BROUGHT ABOUT BY
DIRECTOR MOLINIER.

Paris, May -.
The Louvre throughout its existence as a ma
tional museum, has been exclusively reserved
for masterpieces of painting, sculpture or
drawing, consequently the opening last Tuesday
of five superb rooms containing furniture and
objects of household art of the periods of Louis
XIV and Of the eighteenth century was an in
novation almost amounting to a revolution. A
vast stride toward unity in art has been accom-
plished, and the bringing together of the his
toric masterpieces of the cabnetmakers craft
which for two centuries served models for
the artistic education of Europe is due to NJ.

THE SECOND. ROOM.

The second room is devoted to the period of
Louis XIV, or rather to the two periods of Louis
XIV, for Nj. Molinier has arranged the objects
in such a way as to bring these two distinct
periods into striking contrast. During the first
part OF the reign Of Louis XIV the furniture was
mat OF Louis XIV, but perfected, lghtened and
finished by the assimilation of influences from
the extreme East. SUCH for example as the use
or the Martin lacquer varnish. and the dragons
which Cafieri had adopted from China. The
second period OF the Louis XIV style is marked
by the influence of the reaction toward the clas-
sic exercised by Gabriel and Deafosse for it
was the reactionary archeologists who educated
young POISSON, director of fine arts. who was a
prother OF the Marquise de Pompadour and who

DISCIPLE OF SOLOMON.

One Of the easiest things in the world
for teacher to do is to suspend a schol-
ar or expel him. 1t gets rid of dull or
a mischievous student and gives the
teacher an easier time. The temptation
to suspend or expel, instead of managing
and controlling is so great that in some
cities public school teachers have been
severely criticized for resorting to it. All
the people are taxed for the support of
schools, and the advantages ought to be
open to all, except of course the few in
corrigibles The need in the school-room
is the teacher who has the talent to con-
troll mischievous or bad boys as well as
dents. 1t takes executive capacity as
well as learning to be a good teacher.
In a day when there is tendency to
depart from the old fashioned methods OF
Solomon and the good pedagogues of
yore, the words of Mr.. F. L. Sedan, the
Superintendent of the public schools of
%. Louio, dic iclleSHinS.s ne says.
Freak punishment should never be al
lowed in the schools. A good, old-fash-
Toned walloping such as obtained in the
times of our fathers is the thing when
severe punishment is needed. We still
use it in the ST. Louis schools. ! be-
lieve in suasion to a certain extent, but
there are times when it falls flat. Then
the switch is mightier than the tongue.
The expulsion of pupils from public
schools for any cause is thing l heartily
disapprove. A change of schools would
be much better Il is the disobedient and
unruly pupil who stands in need of the
school, and educators have no right to
shirk their debt to the public
Let US hear more such wise talk from
our educators

TAKING HIGH GROUND.

The North Georgia Conference took
high ground in the matter of the fund APP
propriated by Congress to pay the hon
est debt due to the Southern Methodist
church. After reciting the circumstances
under which the money was appropriated,
the conference made this declaration:
That inasmuch as only the general
conference of our church has authority
to take final and binding action in the
PREMISES, we hereby memorialize the
body, which is to meet in Dallas Tex,
in May, 1902, to promptly return to the
government of the United States, for the
reasons stated in the said letter of our
bishops and said resolution of the Uni
ted States Senate, the entire amount OF
money paid by it on account of said war
claim
There is nothing wanting in direct and
every day honesty in this declaration. The
conference will maintain the high position
of the church by following the course
marked out by the North Georgia Meth
odists.

FINE APPOINTMENT.

Governor Aycock has done well in nam
ing the successor of the late Solicitor Nc
Lean to appoint Mr.. G. c. Lyon, of Bla-
den county. Mr.. Lyon has for twenty
years been the leader of Bladen county
bar. He is trusted by most OF its people in
the management of their law business,
he has been a safe and successful prac-
titioner, and is a lawyer Of fine ability.
To these qualifications, it is proper to
SAY that he deserves honors at the
hands of his party. He has been county
chairman for many years and has served
Democracy with single-hearted devotion
and wisdom. There is no man in the State
who has been truer to his party.
Mr.. Lyon has several times represent
ed Bladen in the House of Representa-
tives and during his last term received
a fattering support for Speaker of the
House.

IS THERE NO REMEDY?

Mr.. George C. Pendleton, president of
the Temple National Bank, Temple,
Texas, having heard that the News and
Observer had issued a cotton edition CIV
ing in detail the truth about the cotton
crop in North Carolina, writes to this
office for a copy of the paper, and in
his letter says:
Texas and Indian Territory are short
500 600 to / 900 900 bales from last year,
but they are trying to make us believe
that the other States will more than make
up this deficiency"
Is there no remedy from the NELL and
Buston plans of disappearing the cot
ton crops until the staple is all out OF
the hands of the farmers? In North
Carolina, the report comes that the Gulf
States crop is much larger than expected,
and that is the reason why the price OF
cotton is so low. In Texas, where the
falling off is not less than 100000 bales,
the story is told that Virginia, South car
DINA and North Carolina have produced
counts for the low price.
The truth is that the crops in poth
North and South Carolina are the worst
known in the history of these two States.
In North Carolina and Virginia the crop
will not exceed $50 900 bales against 542,-
eco bales made last year Virginia prac-
tically raises no cotton and the average
of thirty thousand bales it makes is al
ways counted in with the North Carolina
crop. which was really about $4,000 bales
last year The seasons in that State VIII
not permit as large crop as last year.
In North Carolina, the crop from Edge
combe county to the Northeast IS much
better than in any other section OF the
State In that portion of the State adjoin-
ing South Carolina the crop is poorer
than in any other section of the State.
Last year South Carolina made $4,000
bales of cotton. We do not know the
best estimate for the present crop, put
do know that proportionately it's crop
will be shorter than in North Carolina
In some parts of that State, the crop is
almost failure.
The only States where the crop is not
very short are Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia In Louisiana the crop turned
out better than was expected in the sum-
mer. but none of these States will make
a large crop, and the Texas loss is so
ditions over early expectations in those
States that the price ought to be higher
this season than last.
Is there no remedy?

WHAT THE RIOTS MEAN.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield RepubHcan.
During the centuries Of the Turkish
yoke many slaves from the northsettled
in Greece and they introduced into the
everyday dialect OF the people many
slavic words, which seriously corrupted
the modern Greek tongue. Since the
expulsion Of Turkish rule the educated
class have dreamed of reviying in it's
purity the old Greek tradition and ma
tionality, and they have sought to do
this in part by the medium of the
church services which employ the mod
ern Hellenic or Romaiac version of the
Bible which is in use among the cdu-
Gated people of tho country. The pro-
posal TO translate the gospels into the
semi Slavic dialect of the peasants is re-
sisted, therefore, by the most cultivated
people of the KINGDOM, because such
version would tend to fix the Slavic
forms permanently in the language OF
modern Greece The depth of the feeling
on the question is evident from the vio-
lence of the recent rioting, which was
participated in by the Athenians exclus-
lively"
