PoMPEII.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Pompeii is the cleanest city we have seen in Italy. It Is swept and garnished; the pavements are as neatly kept as a Dutch kitchen, and there Is no filth or dirt or smells in any of the houses. This is perhaps due to the fact that 1t has no inhabitants, but it Is nevertheless a mat ter of surprise and satisfaction that any town in Italy should be clean. Pompeii is about fifteen miles from Naples and can be reached by carriage in about three hours or by rail in an hour. Most people go by rail. but the carriage drive is more interesting, because 1t takes you through a busy part of the city of Naples and a series of villages so close together that one cannot detect the boundary lines. The people along the route are all working in the streets, polishing and drilling coral for necklaces and other or naments, carving intaglios and canoes, making ornaments of seashells and pieces of mother of pearl and engaged in other and less delicate occupations, such as shoe-making, cabinet t-making, washing and ironing cooking knitting and other forms of household work. The people of the tenements use the sidewalk for a kitchen, as we'll as a dining room and drawing room, and there is a cluster of women around every doorway and a group of dirty children playing in every gut ter, regardless of the unspeakable filth and the smells which rise to heaven.

THE CANCER PARASITE.

Calcutta Correspondence London Mall. With regard to the researches of Dr. Rost of Rangoon in the bacteriology of cancer, I learn that he has been working at malignant growths since last June, and has succeeded in cultivating certain in tracorpuscular parasites from tumors, both of carcinomata and carcomata from various parts of the body In September he discovered a method of growing these parasites on a solid medium, and inocu- lated a guinea pig intraperitoncally from this culture. The guinea pig died in eight days, the liver being crowded with par asites, some of which were inside the cells, while the peritoneum and other organs were healthy.
 A second guinea pig was inoculated in- -peritoneally with em ulsion from the liver of the first animal, and has devel- oped a tumor in the abdomen, which Is now under observation. The experiments are. of course, in their infancy, and the difficulties of the subject render progress slow. It will therefore be a long time be- fore Dr. Rost can say positively that he Is not mistaken. He Is, therefore, natur- ally very retcent, but says that the par asite appears similar to that described by Prof. Schweller in hIs work. "Dell Parasiten ein Kribs und Sarcoma des Munchen." Dr. Rost previously came to notice the connection by inquiries into the obscure beri-beri disease. Prof. Hoist has since been deputed by the Norwegian government to visit Rangoon and investi- gate this malady.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, John Dewitt Warner of New York and Henry w. Lamb, presi- dent of the American Free Trade Society. MT. DeArmond's speech was a severe ar raignment of the Republican national administration for fits imperialistic pol icy" He spoke in part as follows;
 Those in control of the government have carried it further in a few years than ever before it was carried in gene rations, and almost everything that has been regarded as sacred by our fore fathers has been disregarded. The bur den and duty rest upon the Democratic party to bring it back to sound princi- pies.

Cantaloupe Culture.

The Central of Georgia Railway has for its horticultural department these notes by Harmon Benton:
 "There are few, if any, crops raised in southwest Georgia or southeast Alabama, of varieties cultivation and marketing, that are more profitable than cantaloupes. A crop of them can be raised on reason ably large scale, and realized from In a few months, the money coming in at a time when it is most needed by farmers. Large profits are realized some years, while other years the profits are not so great. A net profit of $50 per acre Is one of the lowest estimates. In addition to the cantaloupe crop. hay to the value of s1O to s2O per acre may be harvested from the same land.
 "The yield per acre varies from 50 to 300 crates of frst-class melons. A con- servative estimate, including Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, would place the yield at 150 crates per acre. The price varies from $1 1.25 to s3 75 per crate. The average price gross may be estimated at Sz per crate; thus you see that after deducting cents for each crate, hauling from field to cars, freight and commission 93 cents each, we have $1 per crate for rent of land, fertil- izer, interest on investment and labor, average estimate of $35 per acre. Thus, 150 crates per acre at S2 per crate, S300 less s1OO for freight commission, etc., less $35 labor, etc., we have s165 net Add to this aO for hay and we have a total net of S175 per acre. The lowest yield I have received is that given by MT. Vason of Albany, Ga., of 50 crates per acre. This, figured on a basis of average above, will give better financial results than an all- cotton farm.
 Some failures in growing cantaloupes are reported due to unfavorable seasons wrong varieties and shipping them in poor condition. This bulletin is written to assist the farmers on the lines of the Central of Georgia Railway giving them a compilation of facts gathered from the bulletins of experiment stations, the re- suits of conversations with experienced growers and from observations of the writer

BONDS OF SLAVERY IN
 PHILIPPINES ESARE BREAKING

Taft said he and his associates had sought to learn the number with the idea that we might buy them and avert an exercise of force, but when the natives learned this they all represented themselves as slaves The Governor estimated about one-fourth of the southern population was slaves or from 25O.OO0 to 300,000 in a popu- lation of one million.
 When asked how many sultans there were, Governor Taft answered that sul- tans and datos were as numerous as barons in Germany or justices of the peace in the United States In reply to a question by MT. Paterson, Governor Taft stated that the slaves were punished by their masters and whipping was not un- known to them, although there was little severity The slaves were subject to sale but he did not know of any separation of mothers from their children.
 To a question from Chairman Cooper whether American women should go to the Philippines, Governor Taft said they would be helpful as teachers, but he did ndt encourage the idea that they should go in large numbers.
 Representative Slbley of Pennsylvania asked at the annual charge of the United States would be made for the maintenance of the Philippines Governor Taft an- swered that there was no reason why the United States should be called on to pay anything toward the expense of the insu- lar government except for military opera tions There was now s50OO,O0O in gold on hand and only $2000.00O in debt in sight He looked for a large American trade In canned goods, cotton and ma chlnery

Knoxville, March 4.-Superintendent C. l.. Ewing of the Knoxville division of the Southern Railway today announced that the Southern loss by the flood between Morristown and Asheville will aggregate from $200000 to s25o,OOO to roadbed and bridges alone. The loss by delayed and annulled trains and cutting off of all pas senger and freight traffic since last Thursday has not yet been estimated, but it is stated it will be a very heavy amount About 900 men are now at work rebuilding and repairing the road and bridges on the Asheville branch. Trains from Knoxville are now running as far as Del Rio, seventy-five miles east of Knoxville. and trains are coming through Asheville to Marshall, N. C.. Iwenty-two miles this side of Asheville. A gap of thirty-two miles between Marshall ana Del Rio is still without railroad service.
 The telegraph company's wires are be- ing reconstructed. Photographic communi- cation to Asheville it is thought, will be restored sometime tomorrow morning

Honest Elections Gaain.

We need an Honest Election League in this county if for no other purpose than to provide thoroughly honest men who will serve as election officials at the coming primaries and the coming election Such a league can secure the services of the best men. whereas if no action is taken the old-time wiz ards of the ballot box will fall into the accustomed places and will prob ably proceed to do their accustomed work.
 If league be organized, 1t can place each precinct in charge of man who would not do a wrongful act against the people under any circumstances Unless this be done there is and will be no guarantee that the primaries and elections will be conducted differ entity in the future than they were in the past.
 There is much other work that a league could accomplish, but this is quite enough. Honest men at each ballot box is all-essential at the pres. ent time~ The man who imagines that 6 new constitution will work a moral revolution through its own operation, is very much mistaken. It is an ex- cellent instrument, but it cannot turn dishonest men into honest men. It cannot undo twenty-five years of bal lot box deviltries in a single year.
 There is but one safeguard, and that consists in seeing that each and every precinct is provided with officials whose honor is beyond question. The old crowd must be compelled to take a vacation. We do not need their pe- culiar services at present. And the only way to see that the best men are placed in charge in each precinct is to organize an Honest Election League. Let us have at least one for the entire county, big as it is.

Washington, March 1.-The extent of slavery in the Philippines was discussed by Governor Taft before the house in- sular com mittee today in response to questions by members. He said slavery was confined to the southern Moro ls- lands. The investigation made by Gov ernor Taft and his associates had brought out that the slaves included men, women and children. who were slaves for debt according to the statements made by the Datos. The slaves could buy their liberty, but until this was done the con dition ran from generation to generation. The slaves were members of the family and the relation was comparatively mild if 1t was possible to consider any form of slavery mild. Governor Taft said Dato Mandi had already abolished slavery by decree. How effective this was could not be stated.
 Tt indicates" said Governor Taft, how willing they are to consider our desires and the possibility of eradicatlng the system"
 The civil authorities had never recog- nized slavery in any way, he said. and the military had always released slaves. But the slaves did not understand the advantage of liberty, and Governor Taft said that if we intended to end slavery force, we would probably find the slaves turning their guns against us. The infiu- ence of the United States was, however, growing stronger and stronger for the eradication of slavery. Although our wishes had been known, yet neither the civil nor military authorities said slavery must cease or war would be made.
 Representative Patterson of Tennessee asked the number of slaves Governor

The Netted Gem cantaloupe was originated by Burpee a few years since, but the name has been almost entirely supplanted by Rocky Ford, so called because the Melted Gem reaches it's greatest perfection in the vicinity of Rocky Ford, Col. The Geor- gia grown Rocky Fords now command a place in our markets almost equal to melons grown in Colorado, besides our melons are about six weeks earlier than those grown there. The melon possesses all the requirements of a good market variety. They are small, weighing one to two pounds. very fine grained and have a delicate, delicious flavor. They have everything to recommend them; they are the better shippers, because they must be crated for shipping; they are good keepers, because they are hard and solid; their seed cavity is small, thus giving a large proportion of available material; the rind is as thin as brown paper, and last, but not least, their flavor leaves nothing to be desired in the way of improvement"

CRUSADE AGAINST PROFANITY.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 A very strong and commendable cru sade Is being made at this time against profanity. In many cities and towns of the State there have been organizations effected to do away with this careless and sinful habit. The evil Is widespread and has not been confined to one class of per sons, and it Is high time that pure speech be the rule among all classes, and that Gods name be honored and hallowed, i, that 1t be held as sacred and more so than that of mother or father. for God not only demands it, but He Is entitled to our most heartfelt gratitude and rever- ence. Slang is too prevalent in conver- sation and in song Even the pulpit Is not altogether free from it's use. Other agencies help to spread phrases and words which are not of the choicest and best character.

or free whisky and pay schools? How any intelligent, thoughtful, religious per son can favor free whisky and pay schools I can not comprehend. Yet such there are. Not only so, but they assume to stigmatize all who favor free schools and pay whisky as the friends of whisky They thus claim that taxing the liquor traffic befriends it; that restraining 1t with police and dispensary regulations be- friends it. Curious proposition. Does it not seem that all this beating the hollow drum of prohibition and shouting whisky by these good people Is a mere display to cover their own opposition and parsimony toward free schools?
 Carrollton is rent by this mighty issue. A dispensary would open the schools to all free and keep them open nine months in the year. To say that well-regulated dispensary, in which no liquor would be sold to those that should not have ito say that such an institution would be a worse evil than express packages and blind tigers is to wander from the facts at any rate. A well-regulated dispensary is perhaps the best way to control the sale of strong drink. No habitual drunkard can buy liquor at a dispen- sary
 Alabama is on the threshold of a great development of the dispensary. When the figures of full year at the Tuscaloosa dispensary are available, then all will See what dispensaries are capable of. Carrollton sees now what is possible, and it proposes to make whisky pay the school bills, so that its schools may be well maintained and made wholly free to all.

THE PRlNcELY OPERA PAID.

From the New York Sun.
 It was said unofficially that the re- ceipts were nearly $6S,O0O. The cost of the performance did not exceed $hoOo' All the principal singers received only half their customary fees. If they had been paid in full, the cost of the per formance would not have exceeded SIP, 900.
 The decorations could not certainly have exceeded $13,000 in price, and the profit to the theater will in all proba- bility amount to more than $40,0OO Ger tainly Prince Henry never before heard such a collection of singers as those that appeared before him last night, and no operatio performance in the world probably ever drew such a large sum of money.
