CARRIE NATIONS PAPER.
It Is "Hot Stuff" and Is Published By
 GreenvilIe Negro.

From the Atlanta Journal.
 We have received copy of Mrs. Carrie Nations newspaper. The Smasher's Mall.
 The initial number appeared in Topeka last Saturday and in the slang of the day 1t is "hot stuff" It Is weekly paper of sixteen pages of four columns each and has a very neat appearance.
 It Is well illustrated with numerous half-tone cuts Among these is picture of Mrs. Nation, which indicates that she is a woman who means what she says. The set of her jaws and the shape of her chin indicate force and pugnacity
 The Smasher's Mail gives views of some of the wrecks It's editor has wrought. These show that in the art of smashing Mrs Nation Is somewhat of a cyclone. Chiles. Apparently anticipating criticism on this score. Mrs. Nation hastens to am ticipate 1t by declaring in her very defi- ant salutatory:
 T have no apologies to make for hay ing Nick Chiles for the publisher of The Smashers Mail. Our Savior ate with publicans and sinners to do them good. The servant Is not above the Lord"
 The picture of Col. Nicholas Chiles adorns a page of the paper and under meath is the legend:
 Business manager of the Smasher's s Mail, who went to the relief of Mrs. Ma ton when deserted by the law and order people" [

Can Secure Better Terms.

New York, March 29.-The Mail and Express, discussing the announcement that MT. Gould is to enter the Southern Pacific directorate, says
 This is what Mir. Gould referred to some time ago when he said still larger means than any that had been put through were coming. If the proposed harmony of relations Is established 1t will enable the Missouri Pacific and affiliated lines to secure better terms on through traffic to the Pacific coast On the north the Missouri Pacific business will go over the Denver and Rio Grande to ogden and thence over the Central Pacific to San Francisco. On the south traffic will go over the Texas and Pacific to Fl Paso and thence over the Southern Pacific to California points"

It Waa eroas TreacherY.

London, March so.-The Saturday Re- view will say tomorrow:
 'The news of the capture of Aguinaldo may be welcome as meaning the end of a war which Is still wasting life and ruin ing prosperity in the Philippines, but for Agulnaldo himself, whose capture was effected by a gross act of treachery, there must be general sympathy.
 He gave the Americans invaluable as- sistance in the capture of Manila and in the previous maneuvers. He proved faithful ally until, partly owing to a change of policy in Washington, and partly to a want of tact among the Amer ican generals, war suddenly broke out be- tween the allies. Dewet Is probably the finer general, but Aguinaldo is the finer character. Considering his antecedents, Aguinaldo has proven himself singularly humane. He has displayed, moreover, genius for inspiring scattered tribes with his own enthusiasm for the freedom which was promised him."

ST. LOUIS WANTS
 A PURE BALLOT
Grand Jury Says Most Fragrant Frauds Committed at
 Last Election

St. Louis. Mo, March 29.-The Febru- ary grand jury made it's final report to Judge Wood. According to the report, most of the jury's time was occupied in Investigating election frauds perpetrated in the November election. Two hundred and one indictments were returned dur ing the session out of 2N cases considered. The jury says it Is appalled, at the un- nlistakable evidence of the fragrant, de- liant and audacious violations of the san- city of the ballot box that were committed at the election on November 6 last. The purity of the ballot box Is urged and the recommendation made that the registra- tion books be closed sixty days before each election and a complete list of the registration should be printed and posted at the polling places ten days prior to an election -1-..

London, March 29.-The Spectator, dis cussing the -Pauncefote treaty, will say tomorrow:
 "We believe the British mercantile and maritime interests demand that the canal shall be made, and that when it Is made it shall be held by America, as we hold the Suez canal, and except for keeping British Honduras, which. of course, We shall keep. the less we have to do with Central America the better. As long as we keep command of the sea, and unless we keep 1t, we shall cease to count as a nation, ana we have no need to get into a panic 6Ser the Americans fortifying the the canal Sea power will control the canal and not land batteries"

A PLAY OF WORDS.
This Is What German Officials Think
 of Lansdowne's Speech.

Berlin, March 29.-In German official cir cles Lord Lansdownes statement in the British House of Lords yesterday regard ing the Manchurian controversy, is con sidered only a play with words. Eng lands diplomatic action in this uestion has heretofore been parallel with Ger many's; nor does 1t seem that England desires to go further. The declarations of the British foreign secretary are looked upon as intended to help him over a momentary parliamentary difficulty. From the same source of information it was ascertained that the Japanese gov ernment does not mean to take irregular steps against Russia unless Corea should become involved.

TROUBLE IN THE ORIENT. Gan Be No Peace By Giving Russia a
 Drubbing.

Yokohama, March 29.-The feeling that there can be no peace in the Orient save by administering a drubbing to Russia is growing stronger. It is almost the unanimous voice of the native press that If the powers do not take measures to curb Russian aggression, Japan must un- dertake the task alone. Coupled with the strong under current of public opinion is the evidence that the government is pre- pairing for the mergency with the utmost possible diligence. Unceasing activity at the various naval stations and yards Is reported The nation Is evidently gather ing it's resources and energies for the struggle.

 He showed that many of the ills of life were imaginary, and were caused by the state of mind unto which a person drifted. In most instances he said that this condition could be dispelled by proper appreciation of life and sys- tematic and philosophical plan of living.
 His lecture was masterpiece of reason and work-pointings and at it's conclusion he was liberally applauded.
