MIDWAY SHOCKED

Buffalo, N ~ Aug. 12-According
TO advces received by the manage
ment of the Pan-American exposition
today the morals of the West Point
cadets, those gray Goa ed young men
who delight I'm "eaglin" and forcing
tabasco sauce down the throats Of
their junior fellows are endangered
by their approaching two weeks visit
TO The exposition. 1t Is probable in
consequence that discipline will be

Visiting laughter lane, as the Pan
American Midway has come to be
known
The story had lis origin during Lieu
tenant General Mixes visit to the ex.
position several weeks ago. At that
times General Miles, in company with
some of Bunalo's mos prominent So
ciety people, visited the midway and
In the course Of the sightseeing paused
in front ofAkoun's Beautiful Orient
long enough to hear such phrases as
The dance that made the worlds
fair famous" "Languid dreams of
oriental lovelness," "The bewltching
music dance of the Nile" etc.
The party entered out of curiosity,
an6 people in close touch with Gener-
al Miles affirm that he was greatly
shocked
Realizing that to leave during the
performance would make them even
more conspicuous the party remain
ed throughout the programme, wit

the "Eopen Kopen' both Of which
have attained almost as much noto-
riety as the famous @Couchee Cou-

Asks Modification Of Dance.

The following day General Miles
made several comments on the en-
tertainment that were not favorable.
At that time he was taking an active
interest in the visit OF the West Point
cades to the exposition, which was
then but a possibility. Immediately
following his visit to the midway his
enthusiasm noticeebly waned.
Arrangements had progressed SO
far, however, that the following week
the war department granted permis
sion for the cadets to some here in a
body. It now develops that General
Miles, after the war department had
given the permission, went TO GER
tain officials and asked them to com
municate with the exposition mana
gers and request them TO compel
Manager Akoun 10 modify the dances
during the visit Of the West Point
cadets
The advices from Washington were
received by the exposition manage
ment today and the mater was given
in charge Of Director General Buc-
hanan. It remains with him whether
the "wiggle dance" shall be continued
and the cadets prohibited from visit
ing the midway as has been threat
ened in that event, or whether the
obiectlonable dance shall be dispens.

Army Officials Laugh.

The dances so Objectionable to Cen
eral Miles are all o; the "Couchc
Couche" class, more commonly known
as muscle dances Local army Of
dcials laughed in their sleeves when
informed of General Miles action and
criticised the attempt to keep the ca
de off the midway as absurd They
believe that It win but serve to in
crease their curiosity and say that an
army of police could not now Keep
the cadets off the forbidden ground
The manager Of the thsater defends
ais performance by saying that the
dances are typical Of the oriental peo-
pie and as such should not be accep ed
as suggestive nor Objectionable Cen

strengthened by the fact that his son

The Brook.

Young Peoples Paper.
From the bubbling crystal spring
where the mated bob.:.llnks sing
And the mocking bird entrances
with his trill,
Where the saucy little linnet makes
himself heard every minute,
| There-the brook begins its Journey
| down the hill.
In and out among the pebbles that
perchance are in its way,
With now and then a ripple and a
rill,
With here little pool where the robin
likes to cool
In the waters-as they trickle down
the hill.
On it flows in greater volume through
the fields OF waving grain
Where the meadow lark scars high
and pipes his lay.
Here-the sleepy cattle blink as they
stand knee-deep and drink
In their !ist'ess, lazy, don 't.care kind
vi way.
And, mayhap, it widens out In a pond
where lusty trout
Court rest from worry-up and down
the brook.
'Tis here the sun-browned boy finds
happiness and JOY,
With his willow pole, twine line and
baited hook.
And there meath cooling shadows OF
s1Eae tangled vine or brush
Wherein Is heard the plaintive whip
poor-will,
Out again in sportive play how it
filings bright beads OF spray
In Its nervous hurry scurry down
the hill.
And now from out the woodland where
the feathered songsters dwell,
Into the fragrant meadow-all
serene,
Its ripple and its rill have been left
back on the hill,
While its placid bosom shines in
silvery sheen.
On it flows through fields and meadows
-on its way it feeds the mill,
And it joins the winding river that
finds outlet in the deep,
Where the fisher and his helpmates
ply their trade on waters still
While the Heavens oyer all strict
yigils keep.
So it goes from spring to river, and
from river into sea,
With many rill and ripple and
many turn and crook.
With its beauties and its graces and
its many charming places
There is nothing more inspiring
han the brook.

SCOTLAND NECK N G. THdRsDAY. OCTOBER 81 1901

was built in the Elizabeth style, Wit
a hip roof. The front and rear were q
wood. the ends Of brick and la chin
neys were huge and high. S H 1s sai
that the brick went to make chimney
for the negro refugees following in th
wake OF Sherman's army, who settle
what is now James City.
The Spaight mansion was a fin,
house of brick. 1t had gable ends an,
was burned during the war; The site
of the homestead are marked bEslight
ly rising grounds, perhaps few bricl
could still be found. There are man,
people who remember these colonia
houses, still living in New Bern, an,
there are some who visited there.
These same old fields saw life beforl
the site of New Bern was cleared. Gen
Lawson wrongfully located the Palatine
upon the place, according to Coun
De Grsffenrled's complaint, who says
"What furthermore was very dlshon.
est in that surveyor, is that we had
paid heavy price tor that piece ol
tongue OF land, not knowing that be
had no title or that the place was still
inhabited by the Indians" Lawson
had lived there as early as l701 and
settled the Palatines upon the land in
the spring of ITO and when a few
months later Count De Graffenried and
his Swiss arrived there was much dis
satisfaction, and a removal to the site
Of Catooka or New Bern resulted. We
know not what Lawson's eyil deeds
amounted to, but if they were great,
grlevousIy did he pay tor them at the
hands of his former Indian friends,
for in the great massacre his flesh was
stuck with pine slivers, to which fire
was applied.
The Spaight dwelling was their
country home, for they owned town
house. The latter still stands and is
occupied by ex-Mayor A. Il. Dennison.
When first built it overlooked the yard
surrounding Governor Tryon's palace.
From its windows fair faces of colonial
DANES looked upon Gen. George Wash
ington when he received the people in
the old palace yard. The palace, ex-
:ept the wing now standing, had then
been destroyed. The general walked
he length of the enclosure, greeting
he long line of citizens standing there
% meet him.
In those days, from the upper win
lows of this town house of the Spaights
here must have been an uninterrupt-
ID view across the mile wide Trent to
he plantations to the southwest. Per-
laps the last view of the elder Spaight |
vas turned to that home, for he died |
n the upper southeast room of the
louse overlooking the river, surviving |
lis duel with John Stanley but twenty
our hours. The duelling ground was |
n q spot back of what Is now the fair |
rounds and it was on Sunday, the
th. of September, 1902, that he was
arrled by his friends from the field OF
onor to die.
Time will only add interest to the
memories of those days. The history
+ the old town is full of the romance
great deeds and men, but no place
J Of more romantic interest than the
anks OF the river Trent.

STILL TRUE TO ROME.
Only Few of the Filipino Leaders
Concerned an the Religious
IlreufxaMuy.

Manila, Jan. S0.-All the Filipino lead
ers Of the Federal party assert their con-
tinued fealty to the Catholic church, ex-
church authorities. while intimating un-
officially that there is no intention of re-
turning the friars to the localities where
the people object to them, have not as
sured the representatives of the govern
ment TO this effect. Both the legislative
and executive authorities are determin-
ed to permit the utmost freedom of wor-
ship; but Judge Taft, president of the
United States Philippine Commission, said
to-day that 1t was an undetermined ques-
ton where the presence of the friars may
tend to cause unrest and disturbance The
attempt of Buencamino and his conferees
about Tondo to organize an evangelical
church was precipitated by arrests, made
on the information of the priests, of GER
tain alleged supporters of the insurrec-
tion. The question of the release of some
of them is pending.
DIR. Bourns, the only American on the
Federal party directorate, says the evan
gelical movement was originated by polit-
ical leaders at Tondo and was disapprov-
ed by the party directors.
The American so diers and civilians
deprecate the attempts to mix religious
agitations with the peace reforms which
the Federal party has fathered and ex-
tended. While the religious belief of the
Ff.ipinos is apparently sincere, it is i'm
possible to predict to what extent 1t may
be swayed by their leaders, aided by
Protestant missionaries. Nothing has yet
been accomplished In the line of whole

TO AVOID EXTRA SESSION.
Democrats to Decide Whether They
Shall Continue Their Fight ON
ShiD-Subsidy Bill.

Washington, Jan. 30.-A conference of
Democrats and their associates of the
Populist and Silver Republican faith will
be held tomorrow as result of the dec
laration yesterday by Mr.. Frye that he
intended to push the consideration OF the
ship-subsidy bill to the exclusion of all
other business except by vote of the SEN
ate. The conference will determine the
fate of the bin. If the opponents of the
measure decide to continue a stiff fight
and debate the measure at great length
II will mean defeat al this session with
the short time remaining to pass the ap-
propriation bills. Some of the opponents
of the bill on the Democratic side feel
that If the Republicans are determined to
pass the bill the minority should not go
further than to state their objections
fully and vote against IT, but let the Re
publlcans take the responsibility which Is
theirs.
No one wants an extra session, and that
will be avoided If there is any possible
way of doing SO. 1t is even said that
the Spooner bill win be passed in order to
avoid such session after the fourth Of
March. Republican leaders say that they
believe an extra session can be avoided
They also say that the Democrats must
decide whether they will take the respon-
sibility of defeating the subsidy, and II
they are ready to take that responsibility
then, other necessary legislation will be
pressed rapidly to avoid an extra session.

THE MISSIONARIES DEMANDS.
They Call on SIR Ernest Satow and
Minister ConGer to Protect
Their Interests.

Pekin, Jan. S1.-The missionaries last
night met and prepared final resolutions,
which were presented to the British min
lister, Sir Ernest Satow, and United
States Minister Conger to-day. The pre-
amble sets forth the fact mot sufficient
ly emphasized in the note" that the Chi
nese attacked everything representing
progress; that there has been no ade-
quate rebuke for the fragrant violation
OF treaties, and that no indemnity is ask
ed for the Christian Chinese who suffer-
ed heavy loss.
Finally, the missionaries say nothing
has been inserted in the note safeguard
ing the missionaries and they earnestly
request Sir Ernest Satow and Mr.. Conger
to see that the former treaties protecting
missionaries are reaffirmed that the gov
ernment should be forced to allow Chi
nese of any rank to accept Christianity
without injury to their prospects,: that
the missionaries should be allowed to live
in the interior. own property and pos
sess passports compelling their official ac-
ceptance; that friendly intercourse be-
tween the missionaries and officials be
encouraged and that relief should be
found for the suffering native Chris tians.
The missionaries earnestly hope that
Great Britain and the United States win
take leading part in the coming trans
formation of China, helping the rulers TO
enter lines of reform which alone can
save the country.
