RAYNER'S BRILLIANT ADDRESS
AWAKENS MUCH ENTHUSIASM

Washington. Nov. S.-The climax of
the Schley court of inquiry came on
Wednesday afternoon, when Mr.. Ray
ner the chief counsel for Admiral
Schley, concluded brilliant argument
of over three hours with a peroratiOn
so eloquent and impassioned that all
within the sound of his voice We're pro-
foundly touched. This remarkable
trial, he said. sought to condemn the
man who had brought to success
full termination as great n naval tri-
umph as was ever won. In vivid col
ors he painted the picture of the Brook
lyn with Commodore Schley on the
bridge. fighting the entire Spanish
fleet until the Oregon appeared out
of the smoke.
''The thunders of the Brooklyn, mu-
sic for the ears of his countrymen,
he said, aroused Admiral Schley's GU
vious foes" He pictured the victori-
Gus sailor suffering as few have suf-
fered, for three long years. while the
fires of persecution leaped around
him. and now awaiting the hour of
his vindicatlon in the verdict of the
court.
"And when Il comes" he concluded.
"he can. from the high and exalted po-
sltion that he occupies. look down
upon his traducers and maligners. and
with excellent pride eXclaim: Il care
not for the venomous gossip of clubs,
drawing rooms and cllques, and the
poisoned shafts of envy and malice.
! await under the guidance of Divine
Providence the verdict of posterity'."
The scene in the court room as he
finished with those words was thrill
ing. The attendance had been large
all day. and at the morning session
n lady had tainted from excitement.
As Mr.. Rayncr began his eulogy of
Admiral Schley those in the audience,

The lighthouse keeper on the island
of Kuriate. outside Monastir. little
port on the coast of Tunis. is besieged
by wild pigs. Originally those pigs
were tame. They had been turned on
to the island by Monastir farmer to
be fattened choap'y. Rapidly. how
ever, they bred and increased in num-
bers till the island became too small
for them. They a'e off every vestige
OF food, devourCd ev ry bbit in the
place, then, driven wild by hunger, fell
to devouring each other. Finally. the
unhappy lighthouse keeper the only
human being on the is and. had to
barricade himself in his cabin, whence
he contrived to signal to the mainland,
and a 6 gantic pig hunt is being ar
ranged as the only way ot raising the
siege.

IMPURE FLAvoRs FOR SODA.
Nearly An the Syrups Used by Druggists
Are Adulterated.


The use of adulterated and harmful
flavoring syrups ut the soda fountains
is by no means as uncommon as many
people suppose. Analysis has shown
that even the cheapest of these are of
ten far from wholesome. Most people
who have been taught to ask for lemon
or vanilla tlavoring for the alleged rea-
son that those syrups We're less liable
than others to adulteration will be sur
prised at the assertion that there is no
extract for which substitutes are more
often used than vanilla. This is said
on the authority of the Massachusetts
board of health.
The true vanilla bean costs from ST.
to SIG per pound, and We're there no
substitute it could not be used so free
ly and so extensively as at present.
Nanlllin the active property of the eX-
tract, can be made from other sub
stances at n cost of about 50 per gal
lon. The artificial compound is chem
ically identical with the vanillin found
in the true vanilla extract and there
fore has come to be used extensively
by manufacturers and dealers. 1t has
been made for commercial purposes
from turpentne, but more satisfactory
results are obtained from oil of cloves
or benZoic acid. There is some com,
fort for confirmed soda water drinkers
and a general warning for others in thxt
further statement by the MassachH
setts authorities that the metallic CON-
tamination of the water used in glass
of soda is far more detrimental to the
health than any adulteration.

Forty-two years ago the late beloved
Henry B. Whipple was consecrated
bishop of Minnesota. 1t soon became
simpler 20 call him bishop to the In
dians. More than fifty times did he
make the long journey from the north
west to Washington to tell the story
of the Indians wrongs and many times
he encountered a pitiful failure be-
cause he could find no one person in
authority. Authority was vested in
boards and bureaus and hedged about
with investigations. A notable excep-
ton was his first interview with Pres
ident Cleveland. He explained how
the grasping white speculator had
moved on to Indian lands, damned the
rivers and let the waters overflow the
Indians grain fields. President Cleve-
land exclaimed that 1t was a burning
shame. He sent for the secretary of
me interior, asked him to take the
statement from the bishops own
mouth, indorsed it. and sent 1t with an
urgent message to congress. Within a
week the longsuffering Indians were
reimbursed for their great loss.

Why is Theodore Roosevelt common
ly spoken OF as the twenty-sixth Pres
ident of the United States when he is
only the twenty-ifth man to hold that
office? Obviously because some one
thoughtlessly spoke of President Cleve-
land. whose two terms of office were
disconnected. as the "twenty-second
and twenty-fourth President" OF the
United States. But in a list OF men,
not Of terms of Office. should Mr.. Cleve-
land be assigned two numbers? 1t is
more logical to call him the twenty
second President OF the United States.
since he was the same nan in both
terms. and accordingly to cali Mr..
Roosevelt the twenty-fifth President.
He is filling out the twenty-ninth
Presidential term.

We believe that the assassination

by the Youths Companion as fol-

Until about twenty years ago most
of the immigrants to the United
States came from the countries of
Western and Northern Europe. In
general, they were industrious and
thrifty. When they arrived their
tendency was to scatter among the
farms Of the WesB and Northwest.
Many OF them spoke our language ;
most of them we're accustomed to
free institutions. They were British,
Irish, Germans, French, Swedes
when they came then they became
British-Americans, Irish Americans.
German-Americans and so on then
they or their children dropped the

OF late years there has been an
alarming increase of immigration
from Eastern and Southern Europe.

NORTH CAROLINA COTTON FARMERS
ASSOCIATION.

Pursuant to call issued by Secretary
T. B. Parker, as directed by a com.
mite of three appointed by the State
Alliance. About one hundred dele
gates, representing thirty cotton
counties, met in the Agricultural
Department Auditorium in this city
last Wednesday, September 25th, and
below we give, briefly, the proceed
ings of the convention, which was
composed of our representative
farmers and ginners of the State.
The Convention was called to order
at 4.30 in the auditorium of the Ag-
ricultural building by Secretary T.
B. Parker of the State Farmers
Alliance, who said that prior to the
last meeting of the Alliance he had
received q letter from d prominent
cotton grower in which it was stated
that the cotton oil companies were
getting options on the mills of the
South and there was a probability
that there would be a change in the
price of seed. In accordance with
suggestions there made, the Alliance
appointed a committee which met
and adopted resolutions and these
were issued to the cotton formers
and ginners of the State.
This address recited that cotton
seed should be higher. that the
farmers should have some voice in
selling, and that cooperation among
the farmers would mean $500, 900
more to them than if there was no
concentrated action. This was sent
to all the cotton counties and called
for the holding of meetings to select
delegates to a meeting in Raleigh.
"We come as business men,"
continued Mr.. Parker, representing
