CONGRESSMAN CUMMINGS.
The Illness of the New York States
man Assumes "a Very Serious
Aspect.

Baltimore, Md, April 29.-The seri-
BUSINESS of the condition of Congress-
man Amos J. Cummings, of New York,
who is a patient at the Church Home
and Infrmary, in this city, was aug
mented yesterday, by the develop
ment of double pneumonia. Several
days ago pneumonia developed in one
lung, and an examination yesterday
by the physicians revealed the fact
that the other had become slightly
affected.
Mr.. Cummins is slightly delirious at
times, but he is still able to take
considerable nourishment, and he
rests well. The attending physicians
have by no means lost hope of his
recovery. The latest complication
has, however, given his illness a very
serious aspect

EXPOSITION NOTES.
& iir0SNRrNYkNiD1OYY-NXrO1 rO11l,

The brevity Of Exposition Items this
week must not be attributed to the be-
lief In TIE postponement of the great
event, brit to a press of other matter
during the season of conventions, as
sociationS, etc. Should the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition be postponed we
should not let our interest lag, but
should, Instead, rejoice because it will
give us ample time to prepare q
worthy exhibit, and set the old State
Alright before the world.
1t is now certain that the exhibits in
all the departments will break all for
mer Exposition records, and present
as whole, the most memorable and
inspiring school of progress ever in
stituted for the education Of mankind
The chiefs Of these departments have
had responsible connection with the
Worlds Fairs of the last twenty years,
and are all elated with the superior OPP
portunities now within their grasp.
The world has made startling progress
in many directions, even since the last
Paris Exposition. Some Of its most
wonderful discoveries and far-reaching
inventions will be exhibited for the
first time at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, among them new motor
engines that promise to revolutlonize
transportation by land and water, and
working power in both field and fac
tory. The Chief of the Fine Art De-
partment, Prof. Halsey G. Ives, who
held the same position at the Chicago
Worlds Fair, declares, after full sur
vey of the resources at his command,
that the Fine Art Department at the
st. Louis Worlds Fair will be far SUI
perior to the one at Chicago. The offer
of prizes for dirigible balloons and
aerodromes, or flying machines, has
awakened keen interest among inven-
tors, scientists and aero-clubs all over
the world in the great aerial contests.
1t is reported that Sir Hiram Maxim
will spent 100000 in constructing an
aerodome to win one Of these prizes.
M. Santon-Dumont will devote great
deal Of time to preparation for winning
the dirigible balloon prize. Both these
gentlemen are expected to visit St.
Louis to confer with Exposition au-
thorities, and great hopes are enter
tanned that the congress of aeronautic
scientists at st. Louis in 1903 will
bring about a practical solution of a
problem that mankind has never
ceased to study.

SOL SMITH RUSSELL DEAD.
The WeII-KROWn and PopuIa.
Actor Pa'IHes Away Among
FfriendA at Washington.

Washington, April 29.-Sol Smith
Russell, the actor, died at the Rich.
mond hotel In this city at 2:1O yes.
terday afternoon. of perpetusl hic-
cough. MIR. RUSSELL had been ill for
some time flom. this malady, but dur
ing the past few days the disease
took serious turn, and since early
morning the end had been hourly ex-
pected. Those preSient at the bed
side OF ffhe yeaeran actor were Mrs.
Russell, Miss L, Alice Russell. Mr.. and
Mrs. + FeedericR G. Berger and Edward
l. Kosenfeld. Mr.. Russell was 54
years old.
IIeeeaseFi will be buried in Rocl,
Geek cemetery near this city,
The funeral services will take place
Wednesday afternoon from the resi-
dence of Mr.. Berger, brother-in-law
of Mr.. Russell, to whose home the
remains will be removed from the
hotel to-day. Mr.. Russell was an
Episcopalian, and the burial service
of that church will be read over his
body by Rev. J. B. Perry, rector of
St. Andrews Episcopal church of this
city.
Mr.. Russell was one of the best
known comedians on the American
stage. He was native of Missouri,
having been born IN Brunswick in
1913. He took to the stage early in
life, doing his 9rst really pretenrious
work with the Berger Family Swiss
Bell Ringers, in which he appeared in
character sketches. With the dis
bardment of the organization about
tw enty-tVo years ago, Mr.. Russell be-
gan his regular theatrical career, and
With "Edgewood Folks" made an in
! stantaneous success as a comedian,
which never tagged until it became
| necessary for him to leave the stage
curing an engagement in Chicago
three years ago. His name is asso-
ciated with Peaceful Valley" "a
Bachelors Romance" "A Poor Rela.
ton" and other plays of lesser note.
Numerous kilograms Of coincidence
have been received from many parts
of the country, and dispatch from
New York says that party of inti-
mate friends will be in Washington
on Wednesday to attend the funeral.
Mr.. Russell leaves a widow and two
children, Miss L, Alice Russell, and
a son, Robert e. Russell, of Minneapo-
lis. Mr.. Russell's death followed an
illness of more than two years. While
his condition was so serious as to
prevent the continuance of his work
on the stage, it was not until last
Thursday that the end was seen to
be near, and his friends and relatives
gave up hope. On Thursday morning
he was able to go out for short
time and, as usual during good wealth
er, was wheeled about the parks IN
his chair. His figure had been a
familiar one at the local theaters
during his illness, particularly at the
matinee performances. He seemed to
take especial pleasure in witnessing
the work of Joseph Jefferson, for
whom he had great friendship;
Stuart Robson, Nat Goodwin and
William II. Crane. He was usually
wheeled to and from the theaters in
an invalid chair. He was considered
one of the wealthiest actors on the
American stage, his real estate hold
ings including many properties in
Minneapolis. The total value of the
estate is said to be more than $2,000,-

There is mourning in the land these
days from rich and poor alike, because
of the pressure of the Beef Trusts
heavy hand. The butchers all owes the
State have run their prices up in leaps,
and they lay it to the live stock deal
ers. These, in turn, are crying aloud
that their raise is due to the exhorbi-
tant price of feedstuffs, provisions, etc.
And in this very cause of all the
trouble lies its remedy. If the farmers
in Mississippi had cultivated enough
grain and hay last year to keep up
their own stock in comfort with good
surplus for emergencies, they would
have the Beef Trust by the throat and
could now be enjoying the nourishing
and palatable diet of home raised
meats at small cost, instead Of eating
an occasional steak that IS leathery
with age and is so ashamed of theprice
that is put upon it that it seems anx-
ious to shrivel out of sight. Fifteen
cents a pound for meat (bone and
scraps included), is steep rate for
the average man with a family Of
healthy children, and the chances are
that vegetarianism will become some
what Of a fad this season. And it may
be a good thing. Our people eat too
much meat and other heating foods for
this climate, and that which will cause
q change in the custom-for it is but
a custom-will, we believe, prove a
blessing instead of a trial. Perhaps
some OF our people who have fallen
into the way Of living from barrels
instead of from fresh, healthful gar
dens will of necessity take up "the
shovel and the hoe" and raise a crop
of excellent green things that the fam
lily (including it's head, Of course,)
need not go hungry This, we know,
will be a blessing, for there are too
many Of our people who fail to see the
need and comfort of a garden. 1t is
all too common an experience among
those whose duty takes them through
the country (and comparatively the
same thing is to be found In towns
where there is space enough for kitch-
en- gardens) to sit down to meal after
meal of Canned things" put up in
some distant State and purchased by
our people ION a credit" with half a
dozen profits added to the original
cost of preserving the food. If there ig
meat, it, too, is canned, or comes from
barrels, while condensed milk in the
coffee and even in the tea is frequent
part of the unappetizing bill of fare
And all around the house lie acres and
acres of ground either in cotton or
weeds with maybe few scraggy peach
trees standing lonesomely about. No
COW in the stall, no hogs in the pen,
no cattle in the pasture, no vegetables
flt to eat, and as the season advances
no melons or fruits save such as they
can swap" from more thrifty neigh
ers. It is such places as these that
will feel the grip Of the food trusts
most keenly, for they must pay the
price or starye. But the man whose
garden is now adding its delicacies to

ty, where the Senator lives sitting in
Marshall his home town, are CHARGED TO
have done the identical thing which he
charged the Democrats intended to have
done in Democratic counties and there
is no other county in the State where
this unlawful thing was done
The Senator says in his interview
that there has never been any negro
domination in North Carolina as a
State" That question has been decided
against the Senator by a majority of
sixty thousand votes. This statement of
the Senator is, therefore, to
use the now famous language
of Senator Beverage "unwar-
ranted" The Senator Qualities his
statement that there has been no negro
domination in North Carolina by adding
the words "as a State" sunnose he
means there was none in the section of
the State where he lives More than any
other man in the State, the Senator is
responsible for the twenty-seven negro
postmasters and the one thousand negro
offlce-holders that his party placed in
authority over the white people of East
ern North Carolina when it was in
power He and his Republican asso-
cates in the west had enough of the
spirit of Anglo Saxon manhood not to
want in the part of the State where they
lived the horrible conditions they had
helped to force upon the white people
of the east. and it comes with
Ill grace from them to mock
the white people of the east
on whose neck they put the ruth
less heel of negro domination, with the
statement eve had none of it in our sec
ton of the State" The fact that the Sem
ator appointed negro postmasters on the
east and would not appoint them in his
own section of the State makes his crime
against the white people all the worse
The people of North Carolina
have not forgotten these negro
ffice-holders and they have not forgot
ten who brought them into existence and
placed them over them, and if, when the
party which perpetrated this great out
rage appeals to the white people of the
State for their votes, they arc overcome
by the memory of those horrible days
and cry negro" the Senator and his
conferees ought net to be offended
THE Senator in his long and rather
rambling stump speech says some other
things which might be answered but
they have no relevancy to the subject
under consideration, and they can wait
until the time for their discus
sion arrives, Enough has been
said to show that his answer is a
shrewd dodge: that it in no way en-
lightens the people as to the attitude of
his party on the suffrage question, and
that current events are daily justfying
my statement as to the policy his party
will pursue in this campaign"

For Register of Deeds.

To the Editor: 1t is amusing to hear
some self-constituted leaders of the
Democratic party who live here in the
city tell us what the country people
want. They acknowledge to you that J.
J. Bernard, the present Register of
Deeds, is competent, courteous and eff
cient and that the office is in better
shape than ever before, but the country
people demand the office for a country
man. Now L have been in different sec
tions Of the county in the last two
months and | do not believe any such
sentiment exists. The country people are
for the man who looks after their interest
and who understands his business, and
such a man is the present Register of
Deeds. AS everyone knows Bernard was
elected by the Board of County Com
missioners. composed of one town man
and four country men to fill out an un-
expired term, so row let us keep up the
Democratic precedent of election to
second term and honor j. j. Bernard
with an election to the office he has so
ably filled by the people.

To the Editor: Allow me to make a
suggestion in reference to the order and
manner of making nominations at
Greensboro.
OF course the first business is to nomi-
nate a Chief Justice. The party cannot
afford to arouse indignation, if not in
surrection in the west by nominating
two eastern men. But if the plan here
tofore accepted should be persisted in,
Brown and Conner will be the nominees.
1 propose that the committee cause a
ballot to be taken first for the senior of
the two Associate Justices, as the ques-
ton of seniority must be ultimately de-
termined by the court, or amicably set
tied between the Justices, unless the con-
vention should give the seniority to one
of its nominees. If the senior of the two
should be selected from the east, the
convention would then make choice be-
tween western aspirants and vica versa.
