remarkably intelligent expression.
The eyes have not the staring, in-
sane look Of the beast, but regard

most beautiful feature of the animal
is it's hair The main fur is of a
darkish brown, as soft as sealskin,
but the face is surrounded with a
white silk beard and he has long
gray silk name and large and bushy
white silk tail.
The specimen in the Berlin zoologi-
cal garden exhibits a morose, melan-
choly temperament whenever lie is
left in his cage without a monkey
for a companion. This is a difficult
task for the animal keeper, as most
monkeys are malicious and pugna-
cious and the Kilimandscharo silk
monkey is of sweet, atfectionate
temperament. One companion was
found which died a few weeks ago
and now the Berlin 700 authorities
are searching high and low for one to
take its place.

Recently at Lewisham, England, an
inquest was held on the body of Sidney
Harry Smith, aged II years. He was
playing with roller towel and placed
his head through it. In some way he
must have got the towel twisted for

utes afterward he was dead. A ply
stefan said death was due not TO stran-
gulation, but to the fright caused by
the lad finding he could not get his head

ton. 4 few weeks ago in the private
executive chamber of the white house,
the president jovially slapped Mr..
Parry on the back and said: Parry,
how would you like to go on the ma
tional ticket with me in 1902"
Mr.. Parry was much surprised and
evidently pleased, but only replied:
"Mr. President, / am only here to in
vite you to attend the national con-
vention of American Manufacturers,
which meets at indianapolis in May"
The president expressed regret, but
said he could not see his way clear to
accept the invitation then, but since
Mr. Parry's return it has been learned
that the president very probably will
be there, especially so because he has
expressed interest in the dedication Of
the soldiers monument, probably the
most imposing and costly of the kind
in the world 1t cost almost 81, 900, 600
and will be dedicated in May when the
manufacturers meet.
The Parry establishment is the larg-
est plant of the kind in the world, en-
ploying over 1000 persons.
The Parry movement has been in
progress for several months. 1t be-
gan with Senator Reyeridge, in con-
junction with several eastern repub-
lican politicians. Beveridge may not
have originated the scheme, but he
was prompt to see it's possibilities.
Politicians of New York and Penn
sylvania who have the Roosevelt in
terests in charge have been in Indian
apolis recently to confer with Mr.. Par
ny concerning the scheme. What the
result of the conference was is not
known, but the movement continues.
Parry organized Business Mems Bev-
eridge club during the legislative ses-
sion of 1897, which resulted in Bever-
idge's senatorial election. Mr.. Parry
was asked about the vice presidential
movement in his favor and replied:

A RISING YOUNG MAN.
Runs an Elevator at washin z ton
While He Waits for His Law
Practice to Grow.

Lawyer and elevator conductor are
the queer joint occupations of an in
dustrious man employed in the capt.
tol building 1T Washington. He is an
ll''noi IN and in the near future will
rrt''tn 20 his native state to engage
in the practice of his profession.
This man came to Washington some
position, but, not being satisfied with
the chances of promotion it held out
to him, decided to study law. This
he has been doing at one of the lead
ing law schools of this city, and a
short time ago he graduated and
was admitted to practice. Clients
did not appear in large numbers, so
the young lawyer decided to con-
tinue the work he has been perform
ing, temporarily at least.
He rented an office uptown, hung
out his shingle and has secured
some clients. They are still not nu-
merous enough to justify him in re-
signing his government position.
His duties as an elevator conductor
interfered somewhat with his pro-
fess nal duties, but he made an ar
rangement with his partner" on the
elevator by which he can absent
himself when necessary.
This arrangement win be contin-
ued until the young lawyer can save
enough money to return to Illinois
and establish an office, when he will
engage exclusively in the practice Of
law,

WHAT CONGRESS DID.

Many Progressive Farmer readers
who we're unable to keep up with the
work of Congress during the session
just ended, will read with interest this
admirable summary of its labors as
given by an Associated Press CORE
spondent last week:
The session has been marked by ex-
ceptional business activity, with many
questions of far-reaching general in
tefest. With the exception of the Gu
ban reciprocity bill, most of the larger
subjects of general legislation have
been enacted as laws. ~.
Among these is the isthmiap canal
blu, which consummates the efforts of
a half century to link together the
waters of the Atlantic and Pacific
Aside from it's national and interna-
tional Importance, this bill probably
involved a larger sum of money than
that covering any other single thing.
The Philippine civil government
bill is another measure of fartreaching
Importance, extending to our remote
possessions a system of international
civil government, together with coin
age, currency, banking, corporation,
timber and homestead laws. -,rs,
Among the other important general
laws enacted are those repeating the
war revenue taxes; extending and
making more effective the Chinese ex-
clusion laws; establishing a tariff for
goods to and from the Philippines; ex-
tending the charter of national banks
for 20 years; establishing a permanent
Census Office; restricting the sale of
oleomargarine by placing high tax
on imitation butter; providing con
sular and diplomatic service for Cuba ;;
and establishing an extensive system
by which the government will aid in
the irrigation of the arid lands of the
West.
The repeal of the war revenue taxes
reduced taxation $73, ,25O,0O0, and this
is said to be the largest single reduc-
ton of taxation ever made in this
country. By this step the last of the
taxes imposed at the beginning of our
war with Spain was wiped out.
The Philippine tariff act imposed rs
per cent of the Dingley tariff rates

NORTH CAROLINA CONGREssMEK's
LAST DAY LUCK

AS our Washington special this
morning relates, North Carolina Jared
well in the expiring hours of the Con-
gress. Representative Blackburn Sc
cured the passage of his bill for the
establishment of a Circuit Court at
Wilkesboro, by which mountaineers
in the northwestern part of the State
will in the future (if the Senate
adopts the measure at the short ses-
sion of Congress) be saved trip of
fifty or one hundred miles to States
vile or Greensboro courts. Mr..
Blackburn's friendship with Speaker
Henderson has become we'll known,
and this is doubtless responsible for
the advancement of the bill over hun
drods of others, many of them deemed
more important.
Mr.. w. W. Kitchin also scored a
triumph in skilfully steering through
the House the two bills that have sew
eral times passed the Senate, apprO-
priating $4,000 each for monuments
to the North Carolina Revolutionary
generals, Davidson and Nash. It is
stated by our Washington correspon-
dent that the understanding is that
these memorials will grace the beau
tiful park at Guilford battle-ground,
already dotted with shafts in honor of
Revolutionary patriots and dedicated
to patriotism through the most praise
worthy efforts of Judge Schenck and
Colonel Morehead. We believe that
some effort has been made to secure
the Davidson monument for the Da-
wilson College campus, as this college
was named for the general and is near
the spot, Cowan's ford, where he was
killed.
Senator Pritchard also played in
great luck in securing the passage of
one of his pet projects, the bill to give
a pensionable status to veterans of the
Civil War who deserted from the Con-
federate to the Union armies.
The last day of Congress is a sort
of legislative lottery, and North Car

FEACE AND AMNESTY IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

Washington, d. c., July 3.-The
President has formally declared the
restoration of peace in the Philippine
archipelago. He has placed the is
lands under complete civil control,
and has extended general amnesty to
the Filipinos who have been in re-
bellion. These three things, marking
one of the most important chapters in
Philippine history, were accomplished
through the issue of three separate
orders and proclamations, one by the
President over his own signature, ex-
tending amnesty; one through Secre-
tary Root, by the Presidents order,
relieving General Chafee from his
duties as military governor, and a
third which takes the shape of a gen
eral order adressed to the entire army
of the United States, in which Secre-
tary Root takes occasion to express
the Presidents high appreciation of
the work it has accomplished, both in
Cuba and in' the Philippines.

Statesville Landmark: The educa-
tional meeting at Harmony Friday
was the biggest thing, of the kind
ever held In Iredell. 1t argues well
for the future of the county and of
the State that so many people were
gathered together to hear the subject
of education discussed. The subject
is an old one, but it was never so new
nor so important as now. The meet
ing was purposely held in a rural com
munity, sixteen miles from a railroad,
for the reason that it is the rural COM
munities that need to be awakened in
this matter. The towns are making
progress already. We can but be-
ieve that the meeting of Friday will
bear fruit. The time is at hand
when universal education is a neces-
sity. This fact must be insisted upon
day after day until it is fully rea-
ized. y
Charlotte Observer: Remarking that
Charity and Children has said that the
people of Western North Carolina
can preserve their forests without the
aid, of the government, the Biblical
Recorder pertinently observes that
the fact stands out as big as the noun
tains themselves that they are not do
ing it. No, nor will they. Timber
rights covering immense areas have
been sold for a song; fine walnut and
other trees are being felled, and sold
to timber sharks for whatever they
will give for them; trees are being
stripped of their bark for sale to
steam tanneries at about what it is
worth to haul it, the trees being left
to die, and in every way the timber is
being destroyed in the most reckless
manner. Unless the government steps
in and buys it the finest section of
natural forest on, the Atlantic slope,
if not east of the Rockies, will soon
be but a memory, and the low country
will in consequence be subjected to
floods of such frequent occurrence as
to cause the abandonment of our bot
tom lands for agricultural purposes.

understanding with the authorities of

and other church property in the Phil
ippines. He had an audience with the
Pope, and subcommission of five car
dinals was designated to consider the
propositions which he was commits
stoned to make. Under Spanish rule,
the religious orders were closely as
sociated with the civil government and
came to be'regarded as sharers in it's

landowners. The United States now
seeks to establish relations which are
more in accordance with American in
stitutions, and incidentally to buy the

LOUISIANA POLITICS
The Time at Hand for White Republican
Party

New Orleans, July 1.-The present
session of the Louisiana Legislature
which is unanimously Democratic, viii
come to a close next Tuesday, and it
is universally conceded that the ses-
sion has badly split the Democracy
and will tend to build up a local Re-
publican party. The New Orleans Pic
ayune, which has always been Demo
cratic this morning pays the following
compliment to the Legislature, and its
views have the support of large ma
jority of the people of New Orleans:
'The session of the General ASSEM-
bly, of Louisiana is fast drawing, to q
close, and there will be a widespread
Thanksgiving when the final conclusion
shall come, although it is much to be
doubted whether matters could be
worse than they will be found to be.
The present session of the Legislature
promises to have sinister effect upon
the Democratic party, not only in the
city but in the State, Now that the
negroes are out of politics if President
Roosevelt should continue the policy
he has commenced with there viii be
grave danger of a serious Republican
opposition Here at least win be
some foundation for the respectable
white Republican party that has been
much talked of, but never made possi-
bic because the old radical managers
always held possession of the Federal
Offices.
"All this is going to be felt in local
and State politics, to how great an
extent only the next general election

changes, and the rise of decent white
Republican party viii mean much tei

CONDITION OF COTTON CROP.
Improvement in June in North Carolina;
Decline Elsewhere

. OSO4A40 SASeW0eIS
The monthly report of the statisti-
clan of the Department of Agricul-

cotton on June 25th to have been 84.7
as compared with 95.1 on May 26th
1902; 81.1 on June 25th, 1901; 1873 on
July LIST, 1900, and ten year, average
of 85.6. With the exception of
North Carolina, where there seems to
have ben a slight improvement, and
Virginia, where there is no apprecia-
bic change in condition, every cotton
producing State shows decline dur
ing the month, the decline being
greatest in Texas, where it amounts
to % points, and in Louisiana, In

points respectively.
