Miss Clarissa Splusue, manhating

nothing but her pet cat, an animal Of

by several dogs this cat had become
badly injured some mosths ago when
he was rescued by R1fus Sprague, a
country LAD and distant relative, and
carried to his mistress. Miss Sprague

An Experiment.

Minnesota is to try . combination

scheme. The proposed law leaves the
six counties containing cities of the
80, 900 or over" class under the opera
tion Of the present high license law.
1t provides that in all the other ooun-
ties the question of liceese or no-license
rhall be decided by popular vote. 1t
provides further that town liquor dis
pensaries shall be established in mo-
license counties upon the petition Of
tWo-thirds Of the voters-the liquor to
be sold in packages (hslf pint or lsrger)
and not to be drunk on the premises.
All the dispenssry profits are to go to

Tho Great Confederate Leader
Merely Played With Gems.

Gen. Thomas l. Rosser, Of Rugby
Albermarle Co., Va, has been engaged
in writing and publishing series Of
papers on the war between the States,
aud his concluding article is as fol-
lowe:
"The wisdom of General Lees in
vasion If Pennsylvania in 1863 has
often been questioned by military mon
as well as statesmen, but when you
remember that at that time Grant held
General Pemberton by the throat at
Vicksburg, and the hope of the ulti-
mate success of the Southern Confed
eracy was faint and flickeripg, you will
agree that the situation called for des
perste action.
General Lee lad gsined an easy
victory over General Hooker at Chan
cellorsville in early May, and having q
low estimate of his military ability, he
felt that victory over him north Of the
Potomac was not beyond the bound of
reasonable hope, or even probability,
and the prospect was too tempting to
be disregarded.
Lee had lost his lieutenant. Stone,
wall Jackson, and while Longsireet
was with him, neither Ewell nor Hill,
vino had recently been promoted from
msjor tc lieutenant. general, had ever
commanded corps in battle, and
while Lee must have felt some anxiety,
IT not misgivings concerning them, he
had confidence In his superb army and
resolved to take the move, not as Ma
poleon marched on Moscow in 1912
but as Scipio (Africanu,) went to Car.

General Lee planned to give battle

back through the narrow mountain
passes in which he could resist the
enemy and avert pursuit.

the hope of making a breach in Lees

pressed on to Five Forks, where he sue

Farmers Asked to Meet.

Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Growers Protective
asso citation has issu ID call from At
lanta, Ca, to the cotton. producers. Of
the southern States, asking them 70
meet at the county seat of every couu-
ty in the south on Saturday, April 6,
for the purpose of adopting some plan
to ourtail the acreage of the cotton crop
for the season of 1901 and 1902. PfesI-
Dent Jordan urges Immediate action by
the farmers before the seed for the
next crop are placed in the ground. He
claims that the planters will not be
able to meet their obligations assumed
for guAno, mules and other farming
materials with the prios of cotton at
six cents, which he confidently pre-
diets will result from large acreage.

MARYLAND In LINE.
The Election Law Disfrrnchising the
Illiterato Passes.

The new election law has passed the
Maryland Legislature. 1t will disfran-
ohiso fifty thousand illiterate voters.
The final passage of the bill Was mark.
ed by the utter absence at anything OF
Q sensational character. In the senate
but one protest WAS entered which came
in tho form Of q speech from Senator
Dodson, Republican, who characterized
the entire proceedings as blot upon the
fair names and honor of the State. The
final vote was Il to II, strict party
division.
In quarter Of sn hour after passing
the senate the bill was before the house
where its consideration wasimmediate-
ly begun. One by one the senate's
amendments were taken up and concur
ed in without division. Then it was Iut
upon ito final passage with no attempt
at delay upon the part of the minority,
except motion to allow them one hour
to consider the amendments. ibis was
promptly voted down, and the bill was
passed by vote of 53 to %, the Demo
Gratis having six votes more than the
msjority required by the constitution.
Five Democrats, Buckley and Lamin of
Frederick, Keys of Cecil, Pattison Of
Dorchester, aud Garner of st. Mary
voted with the Republicans.
| The most important change In exist.
ing methods accomplished by the en-
aotment of the new law lies in depriv-
ing illiterate voters of the assistance OF
ballot clerks in preparing their ballots
Under the previous practice these
clerks accompanied such voters into
the booths and marked their ballots for
them, or showed them how to do it.
The Democrats claim taat this practice
utterly destroyed the secrecy OF the bal
lot and made it possible for corruption
ists to learn through signals from the
ballot clerks whether bargains made
with corrupt voters had been carried
out. The arrangement of the names or
the ballots has been altered so that the
candidate for each Office are grouped
instead Of being arranged In groups a,
cording to the party they represent
Party emblems are abolished and othel
changes made which make the new Law
very nearly similar to that in existence
in Massachusetts.
The effect Of the law is, of course
largely matter Of copj ,cture, and ont
upon which the party leaders widel.
differ. The Democrats expect that /
will disfranchise about 32, 600 negroe
and perhaps Ii. 900 white voters VIII
cannot read or write. OF these, it
claimed, all the negroes and about 3
,, per cent. of the whites vote the Repu
blicsn ticket. With these out Of tn
-, way the State will be safely Democr'
tic for many years to come, and tn
immediate re suit will the election Of
Democratic State legislature next IA

Growing Rapidly.

The production Of tobacco in the
United States is now about 725, 900 600
pounds, of which about half Is consum-
ed in this country. The crop has nearly
doubled sisoe 1870. 1t was first taxed
for revenue purposes in 1873. Since
1870 the revenue from the tax has not
fallen below $50 900, 900 annually. In
1900 it was $59, 600 600. Since it was
first imposed, in 1868, it has paid re-
venues among to about 81 200, 600, 900.
The tobacco and cotton farmers do not
get so much consideration from the
Government as the protected mSnufac-
turers, but they make a greSt deal more
money for it.

T,enerS are MANY.

Marine hospital Surgeon Very, qua
rantine officer for the Philippines, has
sent an official report of the leprosy in
the Philippines. He said: 'Leprosy
is widely prevalent over the entire
archipelago, but the greatest lumber
of cases exist in Luzon and the South
ern islands. 1t is quite prevalent in
Cebu, the number of lepers being esti
mated at 1000. Total number of cases
in the islsnds is estimated at 20, 600.
The cases in Manila and surrounding
country arc isolated in hospital un-
der the auspices of the Manila board of
heslth. There is also leper hospital
at Cebu. An attempt at segregation
and isolation of the lepers has been
made by the army off ,isls and several
months ago orders were issued directing
that hospital in each distric. be set
aside for tho isolation of all leper3 that
could be apprehended and the guard of
military was detailed recently to carry
out the order for leper colony, inten-
tion being TO deport all cases of lepers

Killed His Children.
Jacob Dearborn Marr, a farmer liv-

:. zlaA n.
- 10 three chiIdtep, Alice NJ,
aged 13, Edwin, aged 8 and Helen,
aged Z, with an axe shortly after the
family had risen from the dinner tsufe
Thursday. Mr.. Marr has been despon-
dent for some time, but his actions were
not su,h as to make his wife believe
that he had any serious trouble to
brood over. The eldest daughter was
washing dishes at the sink when her
father went by her to the shed and got
an axe. He came back into the kitchen
and struck the girl single blow on the
head, killing her. Mrs. Mari saw this
and ran screaming to the house Of her
husbands father, Samuel Marr. The
husband, apparently, walked upstairs
to where the younger children were
playing and dealt each single bow
with the axe handle, Ei!Iipg them both.
When Mr.. Marr, Sr., came in, the
younger Mari was washing his hands at
the sink. He wa, asked why he had
done the deed and he said: Il don't
know. Later in the day he was placed
under arrest and taken to Waterville
