A Fire in Florence.

Florence, December 25.-The Flor
ence Cotton Oil Mill plant, owned by
the Virginia Carolina Chemical Com
pany and operated by the Southern
Cotton Oil Company, of Columbia,
together with several hundred tons OF
cotton seed, cotton seed meal, hulls.
several hundred cords Of wood and
four freight cars, belonging to the
Atlantic Coast Line Company, were
destroyed by fire in this city at 10
O'Clock tonight. The value of the mill
plant, buildings and machinery
amounts to $40, 900. The value of
stock on hand, including manufactured
fertilizers, amounts to about $40, 000:
The insurance on mill buildings and
machinery SIC, 600, on stock about $40, :
600, carried in the Aetna of Hartford
Home of New York and Hartford OF
Hartford represented here by W. H.
Barrlnger and Sanborn Chase. The
isolated location of the property was
one of the causes of the complete
destruction of the plant. The ire
originated in the seed room adjoining
the mill building and in a few seconds
spread itself to the whole property.
A stiff wind from the south drove the
flames over the entire interior within
a few seconds. The fire is still burn
ing at Il o'clock but the destrcutlon
is complete. Since writing the above
it is. thought that tramps must nave
started the flames.

Vatican is Hopeful.

London, Dec. 23.-The Pail Mall
Gazette publishes the following dis
patch from Rome today today:
THE Vatican is becoming decidedly
more hopeful that the United States
will yield to the Pope's great desire
and appoint diplomatic representa-
tive to the Vatican. So anxious is the
Pope for the success of his project
that he would be satisfied at present
with a semi-offcial representative in
the hope that he would be eventually
turned into Minister or Ambasasor.
It seems that Washington is not IN
willing to discuss The matter and the
Vatican has intimated in return its
desire to meet American wishes in
Cuba and the Philippines and possibly
create another Cardinal in the United
States.
"The Pope is somewhat opposed to
the latter step while Carinal Gibbons
lives, but he may compromise the
matter by creating Archbishop Ireland
or Archbishop Corrigan Cardinal Of the
Curia, entailing living in Rome.

A check for SO, given by President
Roosevelt in aid of the Washington
Newsboy's home at bazaar last week,
was framed by the lady receiving 1t

Lord Stanmore, who is now p years
old, enjoys the distinction of being the
last peer created by Mr.. Gladstone.
He is the son of the Earl Of Aberdeen,
who was Urine minister in the sos,
and in whose Cabinet Mr.. Gladstone
held the chancellorship of the exche-
ouer He was not only private secre-
tary to his father, but he was attach
ed to Mr.. Gladstone's special mission
to the Ionian Islands.
The latest appointment of negro
by President Roosevelt is most unfor-
innate. H. T. Cheatham, North
Carolina negro, who is said to be the
ablest representative of his race in the
State. and who was held in high
esteem by the white people with whom
he lived has been turned out OF the
Office of recorder of deeds in Washing
ton, and John C. Dancy, the Whining
ton negro, who did much to precipltate
the race trouble there some time ago
and who made himself SO obnoxious to
the law-abiding element of that sec
ton that his newspaper plant was
demolished and he was given plainly
to understand even after the excite
ment subsided that his presence IN
that community was not desired.

Asks Them TO Leave Her. Their
Skulls.

a startling request has been made Of
the members of the Mems Club of St.
Johns Protestant Episcopal Church,
Sumnlit avenue, jersey City, for they
have been asked, in the interest OF
science, to leave their brains and
skulls when they die to the Institute
of Phrenology. The proposition was
submitted to the members some days
ago, bat as far as can be learned no
one OF the number has yet altered his
will so as to bequeath his head to stu
dents Of phrenology.
The Mems Club has taken up the
study of phrenology, and Thursday
last it heard lecture by Miss Jessie
Fowler, daughter of Professor L. n.
Fowler, leading phrenologist. When
Miss Fowler had finished her lecture
she fels the bumps on the heads OF the
club members, and also put the wives

vited to the lecture) to the test.
Miss Fowler was SO well pleased with
them that she made the startling re-
quest that their owners bequeath them

The popular idea in this country
that there were no schools in the
Philippines until shipload Of teach
ers was sent from the United States.
is not we'll founded. The report Of the
United States bureau of education for
1901, now in press, contains the follow
ing information on the subject: The
Filipinos proper-that is to say, the
settled, civilized people whose repre-
sentative men are educated profession
al and business men, the best of whom
are, as will appear, on par with the
corresponding classes elsewhere in the
world-are descendants of those dwell
ers on the coasts of Luzon and the
Visayas who were already advanced in
civilization when discovered by the
Spanish. Probably large
majority of the Filipinos can read and
write their own languages. :.
Filipinos have filled chairs of chemis-
try, botany, medicine and pharmacy
at the university. Primary
education was conducted by teachers
of both sexes from the normal school.
The number of primary
schools in the whole archipelago, ac-
cording to the statistics of 1896, was
2, 167 for both sexes, there being two
schools for each sex in every town of
five thousands inhabitants, three for
each sex in towns of ten thousand in
habitants, and so on, the number Of
schools increasing in the ratio of one
sehoolmaster and one schoo!mistress
for each five thousand inhabitants. :"

Mr. Carmack,s Ready Retort.

Senator Carmack was a newspaper man
before he entered politics. He was Tor
many years an editorial writer, of recog-
nized force. on Nashville and Memphis
papers. His speeches show his training.
They remind one strongly of the pen OF
a political writer. His epithets, which
bristle in nearly every line of what he
saws, are especially editorial.
1t is said by his friends that Mr. Car
mack's sarcastic tribute to the herolsm
of General Funston the other day might
have been one of his double-leaded lead
ers on the Memphis Commercial with
hardly the transposition of word. And
in the same way yesterday he welded his
pen when he attacked Senator Burton and
later Senator Dolliver.
But there is one quality OF his speech-
making and debate that he did not learn
in the sanctum He is wonderfully quick
at returning fire. He and Mr.. Dolllver
