Especial to the Messenger.)

Raleigh, N. c., March lit is re-
ported that there is to be a bill con-
~solidating the Agricultural department
and the Agricultural college. Two
years ago there was a successful eff
fort to separate these. In former
years there was a large expenditure
of the departments funds for the col
lege buildings and other things. There
is really nothing in common between
the department and college.
A Wilson delegation, composed of F.
E. Woodward, F. w. Barnes, J.. F
BrutOn, E. p. Mangum, Professor Kin
sey and others came here today to go
before the house committee on educa-
ton regarding a bill to establish at
that town a state normal n in
dustrial college like that at Greensbo-
70. They say they want only $1,000
appropriation n will give professor
Kinsey's college building. Of course
President McIver and the trustees of
the Greensboro institution will fight
the bill.
1t is really odd to e. the bitter de-
n~unciations of the bill con~gressionally
redistricting the state, while at the
same time the compliments declare
they see nc hope Of securing any
change, and hat lit is not worth while
to fight Some of them say openly
there is a fine, large combination"
back of the bill, and that it is in the
interest of certain men. A representa-
tive says he figures nat the new Fifth
district will be republican as well as
the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth n Tenth.
The bill to exempt many graded
schools from the provisions of the Ay-
cock text book act comes UP before the
house committee on education Monday
afternoon. Chairman Conner, of that
committee, says the cities n towns
petitioned for the passage of such a
bill, saying they have their courses OF
study laid out and the Aycock act
breaks into it.
The committee will LIS take up
Monday the bill repeating the act
granting graduates Of State Normal
and industrial college, b Asheville
college and other college teachers GER
t~ifcates without examination. Demon
national colleges are said to IA
vor the bill.
There is to be offered amendment to
the agricultural bill. making the agri-
cultural commissioner game warden
of the state.
Senator McNeill is pretty badly fab
ber-gasted by defeat in the house of

Deadlock Between Senate and House

Washington. March IA rather un-
usual deadlock is in progress on the
three submarine boats of the naval bill.
The house conferees decline to report
a disagreement. holding that the SEN
ate must first pass on the matter. The
senate conferees are equally insistent.
Much personal feeling has been ex-
cited. with intimation that the naval
bill would be allowed to fail. Owing
to the lively character of the contro-
versy, Mr.. Foss. the senior house con
fierce. who has been sick al home, has
determined to come to the capitol and
reinforce the house contention against
the boats. There are fourteen items in
the bill still in dispute.

Lineoln,s Prephecx.

During the civil war President Lin
coin discussed the impracticability Of
maintaining a discovered country and
submitted some proposed amendments
to the constitution looking to tie
elimination OF slavery, without which,
he said. 'the rebellion could never have
existed" His plan was to purchase
emancipation in Il period Of 81 years.
and he entered iato an elaborate argu-
ment to show that this would be more
prudent and economical than to con-
tinue the war This led him to forecast
the probable increase III population,
which he believed would continue at
It's normal rate of growth. He said:
at the same ratio of Increase which
we have maintained on an average
from our first national census, in 1870,
until that OF 1860, we should in 1900
have a population OF 1o3,20S, 415. and
why may we net continue that ratio
far beyond that period? We have
2,963,O00 square niles Europe has
3,S00,000, with population averaging
10 1-3 persons to the square mile. Why
may not our country at some time aver
age as many? Several Of our
states are already above that average,
~ ana yet they lave Increased in as
rapid a ratio since passing that point
as before New LDpincott.

THE ROSE or LIFE.

The rose spoke in the garden;
"Why am l sad9
The vast of sky above me
Is blue and glad
The hushed deep of my heart
Hath the SUMS gold;
The dew sumbers till noon
In my petals hold.
Beauty | have, and wisdom
And love know,
Yet cannot release my spirit
OF its strange woe
Then a wind older than Time,
Wiser than Sleep,
Answered: 'sThe whole worlds sorrow
Is yours to keep.
Its dark descends upon you
At days high noon;
Its pallor is whitening about you
From every moon.
The cries of thousand lovers,
A thousand slain,
The tears of all the forgotten
Who kissed in vain,
And the journeying years that have vanished
Have left on you
The witness, each Of its pain,
Ancient, yet new.
So many lives you have lived;
So many star
Hath veered in the signs to make you
The wonder you are!
And this is the price Of your beauty:
Your wild soul is thronged
With the phantoms of joy unfulflled
That beauty hath wronged,
With the pangs of all secret betrayals,
The ghosts of desire,
The bite of old fame and the chill
of the ashes of fire."

The value of the vegetables raised is

Some time ago the keeper OF a board
ing house retired from business after
having acquired q comfortable COM
potency IN the course of about 20 years.
During that period her house became
well known in the city and among the
women in her own business. She new
er realized how well known It was un-
til she set out to find Il place to live In
herself.
She applied first at the house kept by
O woman nearly as well known as her
self only TO learn that there was no
room for her. 1t was not un&i@ she had
been through the same experience sew
eral times that she came to understand
that she was not wanted in the estab-
lishments of her former rivals. Her
reputation for keeping fine house was
too much for the other women. who
did not want to submit to the scrutiny
of a former boarding house keeper who
had made a reputation and a fortune in
the business
She learned, after going to hotel
where her record could nor be used
against her. that she was not the only
woman who had found it difficult TO
get into boarding house after having
kept one of her own. When they are
well known, it is practically impossible
for such women to find quarters, for
whatever her reasons may. be the land

his childhood in bonny Scotland. That,

he is swinging round the circle in

There Is a certain fearful fascination
about the stories of the misers of the

of no more practical value to them than
the tTinkets stolen and 5ecreted by some
maybe or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and IN silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they lived OF
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and FIRE to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not few cases died
of starvation. That was the old-t:ne
iniser. The modern miser resembles
