War Taxes Not Needed.

One word more before closing in regard
to wiping out the war taxes. The pning in
of money into the public treasury is some
thing alarming. We do not need the war
taxes, not dollar Of It. trouble Of the
presiding officer Of the House of Represen-
tatives Is to resist the temptation OF the
committees having approprating power to
be extravaGant because of the large amount
Of money in the treasury. They. say:
while we have plenty OF money now let
us 60 ahead and do this on grand scale"
and with this demand before us We are in
risk of being called the extravagant Con-
gress Of the age, and the party would feel
It at the next election. On the night Of my
nomination, in the remarks that made to
the republican caucus. called their atten-
ton to the great danger that lay in the vast
surplus, and every hour has confirmed the
wisdom Of that caution. We are trying to
wipe that out, trying to redeem our pledges
to the country and restore the conditions
before the war. that were most acceptab BILE
to our people 1t seems to me that every
suggestion Of wisdom invites a return to
those conditions.

Sad Death From Smallpox.
A Popular Young Charlotte Man
Succumbs to the Contagion
The Smallpox Situation
Serious.
Charlotte Observer, 9th inst.

Charlotte Observer, 9th inst.
Mr.. A. A. Springs, Jr., a son
of Mr.. A. A. Springs, of this
city, died yesterday afternoon at
5 o'clock, of smallpox.
Ten days ago Mr.. Springs be-
came i'll, and so soon as the small
pox symptoms were manifested
he was removed to house on
South street, where a rigid quar-
antine was instituted.
His condition was serious from
the first. He had never been
vaccinated, and his physicians
soon saw that the disease was up
on him in such virulent from that
there were small prospects for his
recovery.
The Observer feels it necessary
to state, as precautionary meas
ure, that the smallpox situation
in this city is serious. In the
pest house and house of detention
there are over SO persons, more
than half of whom are broken out
with smallpox. And in every
part of town there are people who
have the disease and are quaran-
tined in private houses.
Five persons died of smallpox
in and around Charlotte last week.
Not one of the five had been vac
cinated.
"And yet, F" said Il Charlotte
physician yestel day, "there are
uncaged, ignorant fools here who
go around on the streets and de-
clare that there is no virtue in
vaccination.'
"Ihen vaccination lessons the
effects of the disease"
"Certainly. A person who
has been vaccinsted doesn't usual
ly have smallpox and if he does
have it he will be affected only in
a mild way.
"And any person who has not
been vaccinated and contracts the
form of smallpox that is now pre-
valent here is more apt to die
than to get we'll, and if he does
get we'll he is almost sure to be
distgu ed for life. These loud
mouthed people who scoff at vac.
cination ought to be put in Jail

examined her and every known

but with little success. Two or
three times she was aroused and
spoke few words, saying she
was sleepy and again became un>

Electricity was applied and in
hard doses, but ineffectlvely.
Ncurologists and pathologists
tried to diagnoes the girls condi-

OF nearly every medical field were
called in, but they arrived at no
conclusions as to the cause of the
coma or it's proper diagnosis. 1t
was even suggested that some one
had hypnotized her and efforts t O
throw off such spell were made,
put to no purpose. Her temper.
ature increased rapidly, she
became emaciated, and finally
stopped breathing, after having
slept continuously 20 days.

WORK DONE BY VOLUNTEERS
General and Mrs. BaIIir Eton Booth
Address Large Audience At
KOuntse Memorial.

General Ballington Booth was in a jovial
mood when he appeared last night before a
large audience at Kountze Memorial church
and spent the first part Of his address in
what could best be termed a Jolly at the
expense Of his wife, who sat beside him
awaiting her turn to speak. But as his
speech continued II changed to a more seri-
Gus turn and he gave his listeners an idea
Of what the Volunteers had accomplished in
the six years OF their existence. He said:
During the last year $40 little children
have been taken from the worst slums and
placed among refining Influences; $40 young
women have been admitted to our homes OF
mercy, 345 900 men have been taken from
the cutters and placed upon their feet,
$40, 900 meals have been distributed and
nearly 1900, 900 have attended our meet
ings. We have catered to the deserving
and undeserving poor and many a poor
wretch has heard the first words Of cheer
and hope from our officers"
General Booth was introduced by Mayor
Moores and his address was preceded by
a speech by Brlgadier Fielding OF Chicago.
The talk Of the evening was made by
Mrs. Booth. who followed her husband. In
manner she related a number Of her expert
ences in the state prisons. Her simple re-
cital brought the scenes of convict life to
her audience with dramatic force and made
the men and women who sat on the plat
form feel proud OF the uniforms that they

MAY CHANGE BUILDING PLANS
Auditorium Directors Take Up Consideration
Of Proposed Alterations.
DESIRE TO PROVIDE FOR HORSE SHOWS
Architect Batenser Tells How Change
Can BE Made, but is Not Ready
TO Give Estimate of
Additional Cost.

Building plans were discussed at the
meeting OF the Board Of Directors Of the
Auditorium company yesterday. Plans
were not decided upon, but a majority Of the
members expressed themselves in favor of
changes which would make the building
suitable for both auditorium and horse show
purposes, provided the change could be
made at a moderate cost.
The architect said that the changes could
be made at a comparatively small cost by
cutting from the stage under the old plan a
segment Of a circle and adding the space
thus secured to the arena, making that part
Of the building 96x214 feet. a twelve-foat
promenade to come OF the outside Of the
arena. This change would give a normal
seating capacity Of about 5000 to the build
ing, including about 1000 in the galleries.
He would give no estimate on the cost,
and It was decided to order the steel con-
tractor to suspend operations until the plans
were finally approved.
c.. W. Wattles suggested that the bust
ness OF the board be placed in the hands of
an executive committee OF FIVE which will
report to a meeting Of the full board once
a month, but the matter went over without
action. No word was received from Guy G..
Barton ae to accepting the position Of presi-
dent OF the company and Fred A. Nash is
serving temporarily.
