London, April 13.-The announcement
of the presence at Pretoria Of the OF
ange Free state ana Transvaal leaders
and generals who have been nj klerks-
dorp considering terms Of peace, mas
caused a decided increase in the nope
fulness Of the public concerning the
possibilities Of peace
The expectations aroused by the con-
ference at Pretoria have been further
heightened by the movements of Mr..
chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
and other membersof the cabinet, in
London, as well as evidences that i'm
portant dispatches are passing between
Lord Kitchener and the government.
\ conference of members of the cab
met was held, last night. Mr.. Cham
b"rlain, Mr.. Erodrick, tie war socrc-
tary, Sir Michael Hicks-Eeach, the
chancellor Of the exchequer, ana the
Duk" Of Dcvonshire, president Of the
council. We're present. The conference
terminated at / o'clock this morning.
AT 1.3O this afternoon, Mr.. Chamber
lain drove to buckingham palace ana
remained with King Edward for two
hours. During the afternoon messcn-
1'l9 can wv 'l@i'siitEt-S from lil' lbi-
eisn office to Lord Salisbury, who with
Mr. Balfour was at Hatfield House.
These outward signs of Sunday ac-
tivity have not been supplemented by
any authentic or official statement.
Tho question most discussed. thus far,
has been whether the peace neg0tia-
tons would affect the governments
financial proposals, which promise to
be submitted to Parliament tomorrow.
The fact that Sir Michael Hicks
Beach was engaged in his office most
all day is taken in some quarters to in
didatea modification Of the budget
statement. Where appears to be no
doubt that the Boer leaders have com
municated the. results Of the delibera-
tons to Lord Kitchener.
Attempts will be made in Parliament,
tomorrow, to draw out what informa-
ton the government has on the South
African situation and to learn it's in
tentions, but it is not expected that the
government can forecast the probable
outcome of the negotiations. Whatever
instructions have been sent to Lord
Kitchener are believed to be only pro-
Visional in character.

What Is The Effect of Fool songsq

1t is when the popular heart is fired by the mar
tlal spirit and embatted armies lie gowerng at each
other that you the pulse beats of nation
by song Some thinkers go so far as to saw that
the mental and moral fiber of people can be iudg-
ed by the favorte songs of the soldiers in the field
and on the concert stage IN time of war
Are the thousand and one coon songs and the
maudlin topical love songs that don't mean to be
humorous, and the would-be heroic songs intended
to glorlty the army and navy, but which inspire
feeling quite the of patriotic evidences of
moral perversion as well as of perverted taste?
Would it have taken the type of British soldier
who sang "Annie Laurie" in the trenches at Sebas-
tOpol long to conquer the Beers as it is taking his
grandson to do the job to the tune of ''E's a
Bloomin' Gay Bloke?'' Or would it have taken as
many of him? Would it have taken the type of
American soldier who sang "Lorena" around the
camp fire IN the Wilderness long to bag Aguinal-
do as it is taking his to ''pacifcate the nsur-
gent Fiipinos to rag-time music? Or would it have
taken as many of him?
In other words, do fool songs and degeneracy 90
together? Do our soldiers fight as they sing? Are
we perverts and weaklings compared with genera
ton that loved more national music Is our cad
vanced civilization" any better than its songs? Is
Joseph Chamberlain statesman of the eff You've
Got No Money You Needn't Come Around" order,
and is Hay diplomacy of the 81 Guess I'll have
to Telegraph My Baby brand?
1t is all very funny, when you come to think
about it philosophically. Even Queen Victoria had
an opportunity to appreciate the humor of it not
long since. While the Guards band was PLAYING on
the terrace at Windsor, England's queen was COM
pletely carried away by particular melody, and
sent maid of honor to ask the name of 1t. Back
came the maid of honor, with her blush,s thick
Dropping her eyelashes and the proper courtesy she
gulped out: "'COme Where the Booze is Cheaper

SAD ENDING FOR SAMPSON.

MY dear husband is quite worn out with a.
long lie OF concentrated duty. Physically he is
comfortable and happy but the brain is tired he
You'd ever being rested.r
thus writes the wife of Admiral Sampson to a
TREND of her husbands and in those few lines she
mas summed up the results of case whose pitiful
aspects must appeal to the sympathies of a people
who have never refused sympathy and have ever be-
slowed honor where honor was due The legal and
academic points of the have been settled to the
lasting shame of the principles of Justice, as JUS
tlce is understood by the people of this country.
The case has been taken out of the hands of the in
competent, prejudiced and jealous authorities, and
has been settled III accordance with the merits
which the results of the battle of Santiago warrant
ed, by the court of public opinion from whose de-
clslon there is no appeal. 1t now only remains for
the same court to unfurl the mantle of charity and
the paragraph quoted above is the incentive to the
act.
Schley and Dewey and Miles have come into their
own, and for Sampson the people will have place
which was earned by "a long life of concentrated
duty" they will consider that the fortunes of war
are problematical, and that usually sound Judge
ment was darkened by desire to obtain an honor
which was not all his. Ambition may be forgiven
zeal should never be punished and selshness some
times may be condoned. This is one of the times
and extensive charity demands that the burden of
faults incurred since July 3, 1885, be ascribed to
the failing of the brain that is tired beyond ever
being rested

TO THE PUBLIC.

Inc Falatka News comes to you as a result of the
inauguration of two successful papers-the Cres-
cent City News and the Paatka Advertiser Mr.
Russell, editor and proprietor of the first named
paper, associated with Mr.. Vickers, for several
years successful job printer of Paatka constitute
the new hrm of publishers Mr.. Wattles for nine
years editor OF the Advertiser has retired from the
newspaper held The new paper flor it is in a
sense new starts out with bright prospects, 1t is
assured Of thorough reading throughout the coun-
" by reason OF its inherited list of subscribers
The merchants are already assuring it of liberal
advertising support. The prospects look bright,
and publishers feel that full Relation of their
hopes rests largely with themselves
1t is too early to formulate other than skoIo+on
policy and this can be stated in few words The
paper means to speak for the right as it sees it, IT,
Will not go into the trimming business on an ex
tenslve scale. The paper was not established SOLELY
Tor the public good. There was modicum of sell
hshness In its conception which had possibly better
be confessed now in order to avoid confusion 1otor
1t was started as business venture, and to elimi
nate all selfshness from business venture is tam
tamount to the damnation of any infant industry
This one will probably get its full share later in
life anyway, if it keeps to its purpose to speak for
the right.
Inc members of the new partnership are imbued
with sense of grave responsibility. They believe
that the public press may be the means of doing
some good They know it can, and frequently does,
exert vast power for evil That they may be the
means through the News, of accomplishing some of
the former, and that they may be withheld from
exercising any of the LATTER is their earnest desire
They feel, too, that in advocating those measures
which conduce to the moral and material upbuild
ing OF the community they will best serve them
selves.

world, so sour as to care nothing for his own life
let him secretly grieve over his hard luck and he
is very apt to revenge himself upon the world by
such an assassination that of Czogosz He strikes
not because he entertains a foolish philosophy in
his brain, but because he is murderer, and he
murders public man as his first victim merely be.
cause he has had no serious quarrel with private
one.
His crime is detestabe, but his opinions are only
foolish. We have not yet come to the point of
hanging fools.
Now when does the fool become the criminal
whom the law can reach? When his folly drives
him to the actual criminal act or when he incites
others to commit crimes? But we already have am
pie law for either case There is no state in the
Union whose legislation does not provide full pun
shment for assault or murder and Judge Gary's de-
cison in the celebrated Haymarket riot cases at
Chicago makes particeps criminis in every crime of
violence all those who provoked by advice in private
or public speech or by writing, the commission of
the act and this decision applies equally to all the
states.
Senator Hoar drearily confessed that none of the
measures proposed would have prevented the assass
nation of the presidents heretofore murdered and
none of them would save presidential lives in the
future, as the fear of punishment have no deter
rent force against murderers who care nothing for
their own lives Indeed, in the whole controversy
on the subject, in and out of congress, there has
not been more than one suggestion of the slightest
preventive value, and that is that we take better
care of our presidents when they go abroad. This
is matter for the presidents themselves to look af-
ter, rather than congress SO long they continue
to indulge in the absurd and vulgar Misunderstanding
levees the assassins will be afforded every possible
to kill them.

Sleep my child my pretty darling, sleep, sing thee
Lo, the day approaching when the warriors meet
Then thou will grasp thy rifle, mount thy charger fleet

Sleep, my child, my little darling sleep sing to thee
Then my Cossack boy hero brave and proud and
Oh, what sorrow, pain and anguish then my soul shall

Look upon 1t when thou prayest May it be thy shield
And when battles fierce are raging give thought to
me.

MISS SUSAN B. ANTHONY, whose home IS in Roch-
ester, N. Y, but whose name is known to the peo-
pie the world over ''the emancipation of women -
whatever that may mean, has been saying some
fright pert" things lately, among the most sensible
Of which are her comments on the large decrease in
the number of marriages in her home city for the
year 1901. She says:
81 think one reason for the decrease is the en-
arged intelligence of women. In the old DAYS wo-
men married at 16, and until they arrived at
40 their aim seemed to be to give birth to child
every year. The heyday of their lives was spent in
hopeless toll and worry, and they became old long
before their time. What this world needs are few
children and these better taken care of and bet
ter born and bred.
ga woman who marries man and finds that he
is drunkard or wicked man is committing one of
the worst sins against society if she continues to live
with that man. One OF the greatest crimes is
bringing children into the world under such circum-
stances. The woman should get divorce''

NO NEW LIGHT ON ANARCHIsM.

The recent talkin the United States Senate on the
subject of assassination and anarchsm did not de-
velop any large quantity of wisdom. Senator
Hoar's proposal to have all the great governments
unite in establishinga penal colony on some ocean
island to which all anarchists shall be banished and
permitted to work out their crazy theory among
themselves, may be dismissed at once as more in
the nature of jest than serious foundation for
legislation. No country governed by law could
Danish people merely for their opinions short of an
overt act of crime. When crime is committed
whether by anarchist democrat, republican, lib
eral or conservative, all the nations have already
laws amply capable of dealing with it.
The same may be SAID of Senator McComas's pro-
posals of international agreements for the punish
ment of domestic and the extradition of foreign
anarchists In its extreme, anarchism is as complete
tumble of hair Drained nonsense as ever took DOS
session of crazy mind. Some of those who enter
tain the doctrine are as mild-mannered men as one
could find in aASunday school. They would not
hurt fly, and they maintain that their gospel and
theirs alone is the only one known to man which
interdcts all violence whatsoever by gov
ornment or by individuals. They are absolutely
harmless But doctrine, while harmless in tie

New Vehicle in Richmond.

During the last few days Richmond has
been introduced to a new kind Of an adj
yertising scheme. It is a horsomobile,
which is what it says it is. Instead of
pulling a buggy horse pushes it. In 1t
are two ''rubes,'' a man and a woman.
who exemplfy between them the old
saying about the cart before the horse.
The wagon is plastered with advertise
ments Of a new cigarette.
This spectacle gains it's chief attrac-
tiveness from the fact that it is rugged
up as an automobile. It is more properly
a. llorsomoble. The horse is behind and
he goes where the buggy goes, whether
he will or no because the buggy is really
self propelling. The effect is bizarre in
the extreme. The auto is rugged up with
buggy wheel from which the rim has
been taken. making it sort Of rudder.
There hangs in front a small lamp which
looks as if it had been battered with an
axe and the alarm bell is a cowbell WIN
a. string. When the ''rube" wants a
clear way he yanks LIE string and the
resultant sound is a startler.
For two days this queer vehicle has
been parading over the city, and it has
never failed to make its impression. Ine
man who drinks has been inclined tc
swear off after one sight. Such a thing
as seeing double may be common enough
but such thing as seeing a horse push
a buggy is another matter entirely. Some
forty explanations have been made by
those who didn't know any better.

package of Postum Coffee with request

ness is thing of the past.
My wife also suffered for years with
heart trouble and extreme nervousness.
She has found relief by leaving off coffee
