he Created Some Excitement at
Chicago Art Institute.
A little pet mouse that crawled in
to the draperies of a beautiful young
model who was posing for q class of
young women at the art institute
created wild CONSERVATION the other
day, says Chicago special.
The model was languidly displaying
her adorable curves for the students
when she felt something crawling in
her Roman drapery.
With wild series of;yells she gath
cred her scanty robes about her and
fed. The others in the room caught
the infection and there was a scene
OF great disorder. Chairs, easels,
paints and tables were upset and in
about two seconds the frightened little
mouse which had dropped from the
models skirts in her mad flight had
the room all to himself
The frightened students were COR
rallied in the corridors and sent home
in order, but it is thought the model is
still running.

SQUAD of republican agitators in the
house are preparing for general at
tack on the constitutions ia the south,
u behalf of their colOred brethren,
whom they claim are disfranchised,
says a Washington dispatch. The
session opened with a move intended
to force congressional investigation
into the recent elections in Virginia,
as result of the new constitution In
that state.
The first member of congress elect
ed in the elections provided for by the
new constitution is Carter Glass, who
succeeded Major OtteY from the
LYnchburg district. 1t is singular
coincidence that as a member of the
constitutional convention, Mr.. Glass
Played the most important part in
framing the suffrage provisions of that
constitution. The suffrage planhs are
practically his own. Subsequent to
the adoption of the new constitution,
Major Ottey died and largely because
I OF his prominence in the constitu tional
convention, Glass was chosen to fill
the vacancy. 1t is something like the
Irony OF fate that his title to a seat
In congress should be the first to be
contested.
This movement on the part of the
republicans was engineered by John
D. Wise, the New York attorney who
was formerly a member of congress
from Virginia. Failing in his efforts
10 get the Virginia constitution into
the federal courts. Wise came on
rom Richmond to Washington and
mad conference with President
roosevelt, going to the white house
Win representative Crumpacker of
indiana, who is recognized as the
leader in congress of the campaign
against the south.

posing Mr.. Glass as the representative

GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL ENACTED
Measure Was Passed Just Had Agreed Upon By
Committee of the Whole. Only Change Was Draw the
Agricultural Fund from Fertilizer Fees

The house finally passed the general
appropriation bill by vote of l02
to 4.
The whole day was spent in consid-
grafton of the bill, though not an item
in it was changed from the shape in
, which the committee of the whole left
it. The only change made in the bill
was the provision that the $40, 600
maintenance fund of the department
of agriculture shall come from fertili-
ger inspection fees instead of from the
general fund, as heretofore.
Several Of the appropriations had
hard fights made made on them, but
they withstood the shock and came out
triumphantly.
The fourteen members who voted
against the bill, because they thought
some of the appropriations were ex-
travagant, were: Messrs. Bower of
Decs tur, Bush of Miller, Bell OF Mil
ton, Glenn OF Whitfield, Henry of Muir
ray, Hixon of Carroll, Kent of John
son, knight of Berrien, Lowe of Chat
tooga, Mayson Of DeKalb, Thurman Of
Walker, Underwood Of White, Valen-
tine of Echols and Yates of Catoosa.
The hardest fight was made on the
military appropriation, Mr.. Rankin of
Gordon raising the point of order that
under the act of 1899, as codifed in
section 1915 and 1915 of the code, the
annual appropriation to the state
troops was limited to 1920, and that
no larger amount could be inserted in
the bill.
1t was shown by Messrs. Fielder and
Hall of Bib that the law referred to
applied solely to encampments, and
that the appropriation in the bill was
for support and maintenance. On the
vote the house refused to increase the
amount already given, but vote of 81
to "a gave the $4,000, as inserted by
the committee.
Another fight was made TO reduce
the INDECENT pension fund to 1886, 900
About two hours were consumed in
voting on amendments and calling the
yeas aud nays, but finally, by vote of
II to AT, the house kept the amount at
SAC, 900 as fixed by the committee of
the whole.
Mr.. Hall of Bib fought for reduc-
ton of the appropriation of $45, ZOO
to the Psychological school, but Mr..
Slaton's able statement about the
work the Tech is doing carried the
day, and no change was made.
Another very interesting debate oc-
Cured on the subject OF the public
property fund. MIR. Davis of Merri-
wether making an effort to use what
is left of it to pay the interest on the
bonded debt. MIR. Hall of Bib ana
Mitchell of Thomas led the opposition
and won out, the house refusing by a
large vote to authorize any use of the
fund. This action was taken in the
face of the fact that it viii increase
the deficit in the treasury by about
sI25, 600.

WILL TRY TO BUY THE ELECTION

The Republicans and their allies, VINO
claim to be more pious and virtuous than
ANYBODY else, know that they have no
chance in the world to elect any man on
their State ticket. 1t is because they
have this knowledge that they are will
ing TO vote for ex-Democrats. In the
few districts in which the Republicans
think they have a chance to win, as well
as in certain counties which they are
anxious to carry, the Republicans are
mourning out money in these last few
days as freely as water.
In one single county in North Carolina,
the county of Buncombe. they have
corruption fund of ten thousand dollars
with which they are seeking to debauch
the voters and make it as rotten as q
Radical East Tennessee county. In
small county at the foot of the noun
tains. where never before did the cam
paign fund reach, two hundred dollars
for both parties, one Republican has one
thousand dollars to spend. In one coun-
tv in the Piedmont section, one Republl-
can boss last week, notified the bank
officers to have four thousand silver dol
lars ready for him on yesterday (Mon-
day.
The Republican campaign of argument
and appeal has completely fallen down
in North Carolina and the State ticket
is doomed But. in order to try to con-
troll the House of Representatives they
are spending piles of money to try to
re-elect Moody and Blackburn. and fol-
future party reorganization to carry
certain counties in central North Caro-
lima. They have held back the public
use of their campaign Doodle to the last
but now that the last word has been said
they are using it lavishly wherever they
have the least chance to stem the tide.

HOT TIMES IN DURHAM.

Tt is interesting and sad to watch the
trail of The trust. Two years ago Mr.. w.
G. Bramham, of Kentucky, moved to Dur
ham. He was a red-hot Democrat and
wrote a strong Democratic letter to this
paper. Now he is fighting the Demo-
cratic party in Durham, being employed
by one of the Dukes. In speech On
Saturday night Mr.. ]. Crawford Biggs,
Democratic chairman, referring to state
ment by Mr.. Bramham, said Il denounce
as absolutely false any such statement
and hurl it back in his face" Mr.. Jones
FULLER referred to Mr.. Bramham as that
Kentucky Importation, who looks more
like a feather bed than he does a HUI
man being and who knows no more about
North Carolina politics than jay bird
about predestination."
When a Kentucky Democrat goes BACK
on his party, is anybody surprised at
what follows in the wake of his back
sliding?
