A Chinese Exposition.

Preparations are making for an exhi-
bition. Of American goods and manu-
factures In the Crystal Palace, London,
next summer. Good luck to the prof.
ect! This again brings to mind the fact
that American business men ought to
be up and doing about great, perma-
nent, effective exposition in China,
with branches In several of the larger
cities and with additional ramifcations,
such as travelling shows" which could
be moved from place to place through
that most densely populated section OF
the globe, says Harper's Weekly. We
have comparatively little tos.do with
military and political troubles there.
We are Cbina's friend, and we hope
China recognizes the sincerity of our
friendship. Other nations may balk
and suuabble and hold multitudinous
councils, but the plan for Americans Is
to make an organized demonstration of
that which we have to offer in the prod
ucts OF our fields and mines and mills.
Ours Is path not OF war and intrigue.
but OF open. honest commercial deal
ing, and it would be worse than folly to
let this opportunity escape through
sheer negligence.

PRIZE FOR FOOTBALL YELL

ter Under Discussion.
A different "yelP' may inspire the
football braves of Missouri State uni
versity on to triumph over Kansas
next year, says special dispatch from
Columbia, Mo-, to the st. Louis Re
public. A movement is on foot to re-
place the "Rah, rah, rah, Miz-zou-ri,
NJ. 8. u-ni-ver- si-tee." For several years
there hzs been urged by some the
changing Of the yell, but until this sea-
son memories clinging around the his
tor1c old verse have successfully plead
ed Its tolerance. It has, however, been
made to share honors with 'Tiger, t.
ger. N. s. o." and last November the
organized mob Of rooters who filed
the west bieachers in Athletic park fire.
cuently brought in a third stirring
etanza.
In view Of all this and because of
continued urging upon the athletic sup
porters, DR.. G. W. Heatherington has
offered a cash prize to any student of
the university or other person who will
submit better and more appropriate
yell. The amount offered Is SIS, Pro
fessors Manly, Curtis, Burnett, G. B.
Davis and w. T. Nardin, judges, to
make known their decision not later
than April 1.
The main thing argued against the
old yell is that the syllables are not Of
the proper vowels, so that it requires
extra effort To- make as much noise as
could be made with other vowels. The
old yell is not without supporters, how
ever, and 1t Is not certain that the
new one, IT, at all, win Immediately
eupplant the old one.

Trust King In Establishing Model
Dairy at His Summer Home.
Charles M. Schwab. president of the
steel trust. is esta blishing a model dali
ry farm at Loretto, the scene of his
boyhood days. The farm in size and
completeness will have no equal in this
part of Pennsylvania, says a dispatch
from Ebensburg to the New York
Evening Journal.
The place is known rs the Rudolph
farm and adjoins Immergrun, Mr..
Schwab's summer residence. A beauti-
full home, with all modern convenien-
ces, has been erected under the dfrec-
tion of Architect F. ]. Sholler Of Altoo-
ma. Wind wheels pump the water used
to keep all clean In the dairy. Electric
lights illuminate the buildings by
night, and the grounds look like gar
den.
A herd Of the finest Jersey cows will
be placed on the farm in the spring.
Just what Mr.. Schwab intends to do
with his product is not known, but it is
believed that his object in establishing
the farm is to give employment to peo-
pie in Loretto. Already twenty five
persons are on the pay roll, which will
be greatly increased in the spring.

FACTS ABOUT KOREA.
Russia and Japan Have Long strug-
Gled to Control It's Destinies.

Russia and Japan Have Long strug-
gled to Control It's Destinies.
One Of the most important features
Of the Anglo-Japanese alliance Is the
effect it may have upon the long
standing rivalry between Russia and
Japan for the control Of Korea, says
the New York World. Both countries
covet the peninsula stretching out be-
tween China and Japan and which only
In the last few years has, like Japan,
awakened to progress and civilization.
Russia has been gaining a stronger
foothoh every year In the Hermit
Kingdom" and rumors Of serious trou-
BILE between Russia and Japan have
been frequent of late years. Japan re-
CARDS with great alarm the growth of
RuSs1a's power in Korea. A Russian
whaling company leased three ports in
Korea two years ago, Oulsan, Sung
chinpe and Chinpodo. This concession
was TOO meters in length and $50 In
width.
Korea was declared Independent as
result Of the Cntnc-Japanese war: To
celebrate The event iye king declared
himself emperor and consequently the
equal Of the rulers Of China, Japan and
Russia.
Japan has bitterly opposed the grow
Ing encroa chments Of Russia in Korea.
Korea and Japan are intimately con-
ne cted, their people not being unlike.
The island OF Tsuchima, owned by ia
pan, is in sight of Korea, and this is
land is only short distance from the
mainland of Japan.
Japan wanted Korea for obvious rea-
sons, but Russia opposed her, because
such deal would bring Japan right
to the doors of Malchuria. So long as
one power sould keep the other from
possessing Korea it was satisfied. It
has been question whether Japan or
Russia was the stronger in Korea.
Well Informed men have regarded Ko-
rea as the storm center of the east.
The emperor is despotic and unprogres-
siye, and Russia has been described
as playing with Korea as a cat plays
with a riot4Se.
Until few years ago less was known
of Korea than Of almost any nation.
It's frontiers toward Manchuria and
Siberia are defended by high mountain
ranges, and it's long line of coast pre-
sents scarcely any harbor of any ac-
count. The whole country is very billy

e. S. CLAWS, consular clerk at Paris,

TESLA'S LATEST SCHEME.
Electrician Plans a Wireless System
to Guido MarcOni.

AGectr1C1An P14nS q wireless system
to Guido Marconi.
The immense wireless telegraphJ
plant now being built at Wardenclyffe,
Long Island, by Nikola Tesla marks
the beginning of the real war between
Marconi and the Servian electrical In.
ventor, says the New York Evening
Journal. The first of the three great
power houses has just been completed
and is rapidly being filed with new
and expensive electrical apparatus. In
short time 216 foot tower and 500
foot we'll will be added to the plant
and then Tesla will begin the series Of
experiments which he thinks will cast
the operations Of his rival into the
shade
Marconi has so far found only one
way to send messages by wireless te-
legraphy-through the air. Tesla will
try two methods. By means Of his
great tower he will send messages
through the air. By means of his great
well he will send messages through the
ground.
It is the latter method that Tesla
thinks will achieve the greatest sue
cess. His belief in it is so great that
he has declared in confidence to his
friends that ten years from now War
denclyffe will be the great telegraph
and cable center of America. His con-
fdence is so absolute that he is already
moving his workshop from Houston
street, New York city, to that town
0Tio Of a11i1
that will cost several hundred thou
sand dollars. The plans for a work
ingman's village in the immediate vi
cinity have been drawn, and a number
of model cottages are to be put up this
spring.
That Tesla does not intend his plant
at Wardenclyffe merely for expert
ments is evidenced by the fact that
the 100 foot power house already erect
ed is to be duplicated by two others of
equal size. Three towers. one for each
power house, will be erected, and each
Of these will have a 500 foot well.
One of the remarkable features of
the well is that at the bottom the wa
ter will be warm. Digging down to a
moderate depth cold water will be OBJ
tanned, but the well will be made tight
to prevent this influx, and the excava-
ton will be continued on down to the
500 foot point. The water in the bot
tom Of the well will never be allowed
to exceed certain amount.
The principle on which Tesla will
send wireless messages through the
ground is. as explained by friend,
that straight line through the earth,
say hetwaon New York aD6 london is
shorter than a line around the earth,
like the one Marconi will employ.
Tesla himself will live at Warden.
clyffe. which in the summer time is an
. exclusive and pretty resort.

WHOLE FAMILY POISONED.
The Town of Washington in a
State of Wild Confusion.

Washington, n. c., March IT,
This morning the whole town was
thrown in a state of wild confusion
when the news spread that DR.. D..
T. TayIoe, chairman of the examin-
ing board of the State medical So
ciety, his wife, four children and two
colored servants had been poisoned.
One by one as they retired from the
breakfast table they were striken
violently and DR.. Joshua Tayloe was

poisoned. The doctors driver, a
young negro, eighteen years old,
who gives his name as Jim Walker
and Jim Boston, was arrested.
The negro made several conflict
ing statements. Upon being ex-
amined a bottle and box of arsenic
were found in his pocket. Later he
confessed to putting a teaspoonful in
the coffee pot and the same amount
in some hash. He said he intended
to kill the old colored woman.
All seem to be out of of danger eX-
cept DIR. Tayloe. His recovery is
slow and the result cannot be told.
However, it is thought he will re-
cover.

TRIAL OF WILCOX
1t is Now Going On At Eliza

Elizabeth City, N. c., March 12.--
On this trial eve both the State and
defense are ready to begin one of the
most notable battles for human life
in North Cardinals recent history.
Sheriff Grandy to-day had six
deputies riding all over Pasquotank
county to summon the $50 venire-
men, and at nightfal practically all
had been reached.
Expressions from prospective jury
men indicate dreaded antipathy to
doing jury service in the Wilcox
case. Both sides have powerful
friends. A number of veniremen
have seen the judge or counsel with
view to being excused.
The empaneling of jurors will be-
gin at O'Clock tomorrow afternoon,
but will not likely be completed to-
morrow.
Solicitor Ward said tonight that
DR.. Fearing, the coroner, would like
ly be the first witness. It is stated
on good authority that the defense
will have medical expert to be put
ON in rebuttal.
Late this afternoon the prisoner
was reported calm and fearless. 1t
is not be6eved his extraordinary
nerve will ever weaken.

TOO MANY LOAFERS.
Goldsbor Police Should be Given
New Vagrant Laws.

new v aSF FAnG Laws
The large number of negro loafers
on the streets of Goldsboro is suf-
icient to attract attention. Around
the stopping place for the trains
there is always a crowd standing
around doing nothing but talking
loud and getting in the way. All
along East Centre street north one
can find crowd of these 1oafers all
the time, and ladies hesitate to
come down on that side of the street
for that reason. If we must have
these loafers it looks as if they might
be kept off the principle street in the
city. There is certain crowd that
hang around who are never known
to work. They must live somehow
or other and if they do not work
themselves they live off of what
come one else works for.
There is a law against vagrancy
and it should be enforced. IF the
police have not the right under the
present law, then a law should be
made giving them the right to ar
rest any man, white or black, on the
streets without visible means of sup
port. Othersstowns have and enforce
such laws ndssGoldsboro should be-
gin at once.
