The Anaora Goat and Other Humbugs

me An1oFd Goat ana OtncT TluHpuSS
 'In my early childhood, some twenty and odd years ago. the United States gov ernment associated itself with the Grangers. or Patrons of Husbandry, in the effort to make the Angora goat popular domestic animal" said man who was brought up on a farm.
 Tn that day the attempt was made to convince the farmer that a royal road to fortune for him lay by the Angora goat. The State Department, the Patrons of Husbandry, and the newspapers asso- ciated themselves in a mighty effort to make the farmers grow Angora goats. Nothing on earth, 1t was argued. equalled the Angora goat he was the secret to the hidden wealth of our southland-great grief, so much of our wealth has been hidden!
 By and by the Angora goat began to arrive. Our nearest neighbor, Mir. Wesley Rice, got one. and then a far away neighbor got another, and so our county began to get filled with Angoras. It had long been filled with the old-fashioned kind of goat that made mighty good eatin' when 1t was young-when 1t was kid. But those Angora kind-from Mir. Wesley Rice's down there wasn't one of them that ever brought to It's owner as much as five cents for It's most val uable wool and never one chew of its tasty meat. Of all the innumerable hum bugs imposed upon the poor, suffering south, the worst is the Angora goat! The Changers, Patrons of Husbandry, and the like have obsquatulated vamoosed, gone hither, and it's no use for the State De- pertinent to try to again fool the people with Angora goats. The greatest hum bug ever sought to be imposed upon the south is that same Angora with costly fleece white as snow, and everywhere that

as was at hand bearing upon tfl@ pro-

discussed at length and the opinion was
expressed that the complete document

congress. 1t Is known that the presi-

would not hesitate to call congress to-
gather in extra session to consider it
should it appear necessary. The need
for prompt action on the Spooner
Philippine bill is regarded as scarcely
less urgent than the disposition of the
Cuban constitution, and the statement
is nad- on high authority that in the
event of the failure of either Of these
measures to receive the consideration
of congress an extra session is almost
inevitable.

RAISING A FERRYBoAT.
The Tremendous Labor Involved in
Salvage Work,

Wrecking is expensive work. Over s25,-
600 was spent in raising the big barge In
dependent. which sank in New York Har-
Dor. This harbor has been the scene of
innumerabIe wrecks, but among them
none involved such tremendous labor as
the salvage of the 81 ken ferryboat Chi
caso. The value of this ferryboat was at
least 100000, and besides hundreds of hu-
man beings, a number of horses and wag-
ons went down with her. among them an
express wagon which contained a load of
silver bricks worth $4,000
Not only did the divers save these and
many other articles of value, but they re-
covered several human bodies. The work
of saving the boat then commenced AS
preliminary, the entire upper deck, the
smoke stacks, and other impeding parts
were cut away. Before this was complet-
ed, the hull had finally settled in forty
three feet of mud and water. The giant
wrocking derricks, Monarch and Reliance,
were already on the scene.
All the superstructure having been cut
away. the next operation was to pass
the chains by which the wreck was ulti-
mately 20 be raised under the hull.
Through the mud a passage had to be
bored beneath the boat. the divers using
a strong wire for the purpose. This ac-
thin chain was attached to
the wire, and then a still larger chain
and so on. gradually working up to a
monster cable two and half inches in
diameter, and weighing about eight tons.
with infinite labor ten of these
cables were banded about the hull which
a dead weight of more than
/ eco tons to be lifted. Two kinds of pom
toons were employed to raise the wreck,
and it was critical moment when the
great hulk rose slowly through the forty
feet of water and finally rested on the
surface.-Pearson's Magazine.

Whereas, the recent attempt on the life
OF our beloved President and comrade.
William Mckinley. by a person who is a
confessed anarchist and subverter of law
and order. has added another instance to

those who execute the laws for such
prompt action as shall render it impossi-
Die Tor persons who refuse to submit to

HOWARD UNIVERSITY REPORT
Congress to BE Asked for an Addi-
tiOnaI Appropriation.

The report of the President of Howard
University for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1901, has been transmitted to the Sec
retary of the Interior
The report shows the total number en-
rolled to be Ss6, divided as follows: En-
glish department, 159: preparatory de-
partment, Isl; college department. 46: de-
partment of pedagogy, 173; medical de-
partment, III; law department 81. and
theological department g. The students
are from forty different States and Ter
ritories and from ten foreign countries.
The total receipts for the year from the
various permanent scholarship and en-
dowment funds and from payment of tut
tloh IN those departments which are self
supporting, amount to $685. SO. and the
total expenditures are S93.6SE54, leaving a
balance on hand of S4,9l5i6
The work has been very encoura gine
IN the past year and the degree of earn
estness shown is highly gratifying to
those IN charge Some students left the
Histitutlon on account of liability to meet
expenses, but. on the other hand. eighty-
nine per cent of the students in one de-
partment support themselves as walters
BARRIERS, watchmen, etc
several appropriations are asked of
congress by the trustees for specific pur-
puoSes, as follows:
The trustees respectfully ask of Con-
gress the sum of SIPS to introduce an en-
tire system of heating into the two large
structures, Miner Hall and Clark Hall.
Inc present system is very imperfect and
unsaIe, being nothing but single stoves
called egg stoves-for each room These
stoves are easily thrown down, when
their red-hot contents ignite the floor.
such accidents are repeatedly occurring.
Inc sum mentioned above is the result of
the bidding of responsible parties in and
out of Washington, the sum mentioned
being by some 500 or $500 the lowest.
During the last year, under the sIper-
vision of the professor of biology, 500 has
been expended from the treasury of the
university to set up hotbeds and set out
fruit trees for the practical instruction of
the students in agriculture. The trustees
respectfully request that the sum of 81, 900
annually be permanent appropriation
for work in this direction.
The growth of the university has been
SO rapid and the increase in the number
of our teachers SO needful that the trus-
tees find deficiency in salary account
every year. They respectfully ask that
the sum of 5000 be added to this account
for a permanent relief of the treasury of
the university in this respect this in
