 "On Wednesday evening Mrs. Gucken- berger sang at Arlington, where she had a fine audience and yesterday af- ternoon at Milton. Next week she goes to Fitchburg and Leomister and January 30 she will be in Boston No doubt a num- Der of her Jamaica Plain friends will avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing her again. Except those at Ar lngton and Leominster which were ar ranged by Mrs. s. Fannie Wilder, Mrs. Guckenbergers sister, the recitals have been managed by Mrs. Francis Ham, blin with the most fiattering success"
 The Arlington (Mass) Advocate con- tains the following:
 Mrs. Margaret Gerry Guckenberger, formerly of Arlington, but now of Birm- ingham, Ala, Is North for a month or more, giving series of song recitals, and friends of her old home were favored by an opportunity to share in the privi- lege of hearing her sing at recital given in Plesant Hall Arlington, Wednesday , evening. The audience present was compliment to Mrs. Guckenberger for it's refinement and musical taste, while she gave the fullest measure of pleasure pos sible by rendering a snguarly choice and classical programme of songs Her con tralto voice is rich and sonorous in quail ity yet so excellently trained that deli cate artistic effects are given their full value. The iextreme lower range is rare in its beauty while the upper tones are rem arkably full and rich for a contralto voice. Especially worthy of praise was her superb rendering of the Max Bruch aria-perSonally 1t was the most enjoy able on the programme and displayed singers talents to the best advantage. Among the lighter songs was What the chimney sang which was given an ex- quste rendering and made the audience persistent for an encore but the pro- gramme was long and trying for a singer to sustain and she very wisely declined the honor of any repetition"
 Mrs. Guckenberger is giving three or four recitals a week. Her regular en- gagement will conclude in Boston next Thursday. She had expected to leave for home on February 1, but being pressed to take part in a special church programme in Springfield next Sunday she accepted and will not start for home until Monday, | February 3. 9afa

TOO SENSIBLE AND TOO PATRI0-
TIC TO BITE.

The Republicans in the Fifth Congress
sional district have been dangling their
hook under the noses of three well
known gentlemen in the hope that they
would bite at the bait of a Congressional
nomination. Up to ten days ago it was
given out that Mr.. Frank Mebane, sue
cessful cotton mill man. would be the
Republican nominee. Mr.. Mebane
voted for Mckinley, but was not ready
to let the revenue gang use his respect
able name to assist them in getting back
into power in North Carolina. Though
differing with the Democrats on some
national questions, Mr.. Mebane refused
to help the Radicals again disgrace the
good name of the State by getting con-
troll of it's government.
Later we were told that Mr.. Lindsay
Patterson would be the candidate, but
Mr.. Patterson promptly declined the use
OF his name. Mr.. Patterson had can
vassed for Palmer and Buckner, but he
said mo" when asked to help restore to
power in North Carolina the gang that
he helped to drive from power in 1885,
Just upon the eve of the convention
it was printed that the nominee would be
col. James Holt, of Burlington. Mr.
Holt declined to run under any circum-
stances Though not in accord with the
Democrats on some national issues, Mr..
Holt bears a name that has been too
long honored in Democratic councils for
him to permit Radicals to use it to re-
vive the Radical misrule of 1869 and
1889
And so it goes. Men of character and
standing, even if agreeing with the Ma
tional Republicans on the tariff or some
other issue. yet love the good name OF
their State too much at heart to do any
thing that will jeopardize its good gov
ernment They know-as everybody else
does-that the Radical party of 1902 is
controlled by the same men and animated
by the same spirit as in 1894 and in 1895
when its victory at the polls was fol-
lowed by Reign of Terror. And no.
body who knows these gentlemen is sur
prised that they decline the use of their
names TO restore the same old gang with
the same old ideas to power in North
Carolina.

Politics and Politicians.

The Republicans who think they are
running for office in North Carolina are
mistaken. Like the Virginia Republicans
who are candidates for Congress they
are best described by the words of the
Washington Post which says They may
walk over the course merely to keep
their names in the Federal office pot.

ALL THREE SHOULD BE IN
DICTED FOR ASSAULT AND
BATTERY AND ALSO FOR
CONSPIRACY.


The later news from AshevilIe
tends to confirm the suggestion
made by this paper that the at
tack on Mr.. Merritt, editor of the
AshevilIe Citizen, was not only an
assault and battery, but also a con-
spiracy entered into by Senator
Pritchard, Representative Black
burn and Federal Court Clerk
Cowles.
These three men, two of them
members of Congress and one a
judicial officer, "arc indictable un-
der the laws of North Carolina
and should be prosecuted de-
clares one of the ablest lawyers in
North Carolina. And he is right.
The assault, in the presence OF
ladies, the brutal violence dis
played by Blackburn and COw1es,
and the declaration by Senator
D:koLux 4o-Js-r - .I,oxx, &7,o& bo
was a party to the conspiracy, have
no excuse or pa11iation. In the
history of North Carolina there is
no parallel to this seeming illegal
conspiracy to violate the law by
the methods of the braw1er, on the
part of three public officers, sworn
to obey the laws of the State and
the United States. IF such con-
duct, which seems to be assault
and battery and conspiracy, can
GO unnoticed because the men
charged with conspiracy hold high
official positions, the people will
have no respect for laws that can
he violated with impunity by Con-
gressmen and Federal judicial Of
ficers.
A private letter to the editor,
written by one of the ablest law
yers in Piedmont North Carolina,
shows the best sentiment of the
bar and the people of North Caro-
lima. We quote:
Permit me to congratulate you
upon your editorial in which you
so forceful1y and, withaI, Justly
excoriate and hold mp to public
shame and ridicule the three bull
assault upon Mr.. Merritt at the
Battery Park Hotel in the presence
of numerous ladies.
ITO say that such conduct is I'M
psra1le1ed on the part of men hold
ing such honorable and exalted
positions in North Carolina, is put
ting it but mildly. To charge that
the participants in this assault
acted the part of coarse, uncouth,
AL Y,
simple truth. To say that the
casus be11i was political, and not
personal, is too plain for cOntro-
versy. No man who knows the as
saiIants doubts for one moment
that if Mr.. Merritt had been of
their own political faith, the as
sault would never have been COM
mitted.
Under the law of North Caro-
lima, all three are indictable and
should be prosecuted for a con-
spiracy.
I'm view of the dead silence" in
other quarters, think you ought
to demand the arrest and vigorous
prosecution of all three of these
law breakers, not only for assault
and battery, but for conspiracy"
The officers of the law in Bun
combe know the law. They are
sworn to execute it. IF they do
not see to it that Pritchard, Black
burn and COwles are indicted for
assault and battery and also for
conspiracy they will violate the
sacred oaths that they have taken.

sauIted, as a result of a conspiracy,
by three men holding high official
positions, and they escape prOsecu-

STATEMENT FROM MITCHELL.
The President OF the Mine WorkOrs'
Union Furnishes the Press
His Views.

Willkesbarre, Pa, juno 23.-Presi-
dent John Mitchell Of the United
Mine Workers Of America has issued
an address to the public for publica-
tion in the newspapers. 1t is partly
a reply to the letters of the operators
declining to accede to the demands
Of the union, which were published
about ten days ago.
Briefly summarized, the address
says that every possible means was
resorted to in the effort to prevent
the strike; claims that the cost Of liv-
ing has increased to the point where
the miner was compelled to ask for
higher wages; denies the allegations
Of the operators that the productive
capacity of the mine workers has
fallen Off, but, on the other hand,
has increased; quotes official figures
to substantiate the contention that
the employers can pay higher wages
without increasing the cost of coal

coal-carrying railroads, which con-
troll about eighty-fve per cent Of
the mines, absorb the profits of their
coal companies by charging exorbi-
tant freight rates; claims that a ton
at the mines means anywhere from
2,740 to 3,19O pounds instead Of 2,24o,
and says that more men are killed
and injured in the anthracite mines
of Pennsylvania annually than were
killed or wounded during the Span
ish-American war. The address also
says that in the event the union is
crushed, which it adds is not likely, a
new organization would rise from its
ruins. 1t concludes with another ap-
peal for arbitration of all questions
| in dispute.

IsTHMIAN CANAL QUESTION.
1t is the Belief in Washington that
the SpOOner Amendment VIII
Eventually Be Accepted.

Washington, June Ex-senator
Morgan and Representative Hepburn,
representing the senate and house
conferecs on the isthmian canal bill,
were together, Saturday, to arrange
the preliminaries for the meeting OF
the conferecs. Their associates were
not called in during the early hours
of the day, but were asked to hold
themselves in readiness for an early
meeting.
Meantime, the friends of the re-
spective projects were active in MAX
ing plans. Although no formal meet
ing of the house conferees was held,
informal exchanges showed their gem
eral attitude. They are, FIRST OF
ALL, FOR A CANAL, and while ia
vorable to the Nicaragua route, they
will not insist upon that route to the
extent of defeating all legislation. AS
soon as it becomes evident that the
senate will not yield, the SPOONER
AMENDMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED
AS THE BEST SOLUTION POSI-
BILE. There is doubt this is the po-
sition of two out of three of the
house conferees. This insures an
agreement in conference without
much delay, even if the house does
not relieve the conferees of their re-
sponsibilities by adopting a motion
to concur with the senate, which
there is good reason to believe Mr..
Burton (Ohio) is ready to make.

ger from the forest fires is at an end

concerned. The wind has gone down
and the fire is not spreading. A spe-
cial from Hot Springs says that town
is now safe and that the guests at

apprehension. Reports from Lester,
which was also threatened, state that
no further fear is apprehended there.

loss of $4,000. Several of the work
men had narrow escapes from the
fire, being compelled to wade the riv-
er to avoid the advancing wall OF
flame. The Kanasket Shingle Co.'s
mill was saved, but the, outbuildinCs
and most of the logging outfit were
consumed. The loss will be about
two thousand dollars.

thus far been able to save the saw

A considerable part of the logging

ty minutes stones ranging from the
size Of a buckshot to two inches in
diameter fell as thick as ordinary
raindrops. Blown by very strong
wind from the northwest, window
panes we're broken on western eK-
posures, holes were knocked in tin
roofs, limbs were broken from trees,
corn, cotton and growing vegetables
were broken or literally torn into
shreds, and many chickens and birds
we're killed. For a few minutes
those who witnessed the cyclone that
passed through that section less than
two years ago feared a repetition OF
that awful experience. Fortunately

than two miles in width, but great
damage was done those who hap
pened to be in its path.

A shooting Affair Mt the Kansas Re-
form school That is as Yet
Unexplained.

Topeka, Kas., June 23.-Matron
Lowe of the reform school lies at the
hospital with two bullet wounds
through her abdomen, unconscious,
and with no hope of recovery. Her
husband, j. C. Lowe, who has slight
bullet wound in his head, is in prison
charged with the shooting. When
the shots were heard by watchman
he rushed to the scene, found Mrs.
Lowe writhing on the floor, exclaim-
ing: "It was an accident, it was an
accident" In a few moments she
became unconscious. Lowe also de-
clared that the shooting was acci-
dental. Near by lay a revolver with
four empty chambers. In the medical
ward later, Lowe drank from can
labeled "carbolic acid" but the con
tents proved a weak solution, and
had no injurious effect. The affair is
enveloped in mystery.
