COST OF LIVING.

According to r. G. Dun & Co.,
the average price of a years supplies
for one person on April 1st was
s99.26, or $1.9O less than at the be-
ginning of March.
These are welcome figures. The
authority compiling them stands
high, and it is very probable that
they are about correct, and that COM
modities are cheaper now than they
were a month ago. Nor is it at all
strange that there should be a de-
cline in the cost Of living, now that
the advance of spring has brought in
an abundance of market products,
the effect of which is daily seen in
the current quotations. The lowest
point reached duriug recent times
was in July, 1897, when the figure
was $72.45. The highest mark
$1O2. .29-was reached in May of last
year.
Excellent crop prospects and in
creasing production of all commodi-
ties give promise of a further de-
cline; though there is as yet no pros
pect of the congested dullness which
began ten years ago and lasted until
1899.
Prices seem to have passed their
meridian. Wages, on the contrary,
are still advancing. This is whole
some condition, rendered possible by
improved methods and labor saving
machinery. Less and less labor be-
ing required to produce a given ar
ticle, the labor itself commands a
higher price, and yet the article may
be sold more cheaply without Wip-
ing out the margin of profit.

THE PHILIPPINES.

The presidents speech at Fargo, N.
D., was devoted to matters in the
Philippines and to the army, the
two being cognate subjects INSOFAR
ably joined together. The President
insists that all promises made by the
Republican party to the Filipinos
have been fulfilled. Peace and order
have been restored-on paper. He
admits that there were Jake Smith
Irregularities, but these have been
minimized or punished.
He commends the legislation of
the last Congress in the interest of
the Filipino people, giving them a
currency system and home con-
stabulary, but inflicting upon them
a three-quarters share of Dingleyism,
although they are part and parcel Of
this country. The tariff imposed on
Filipino articles demonstrates be-
yond the power of words that the
little brown people are subjects liv-
ing in a colony, and as such they
will remain while the Dingley party
remains in power.
Very naturally the President drops
the discussion of the Philippines to
take up the subject of the army, the
two being interdependent. He virtu-
ally commends an army of 10000
man althOI1oh' an armv of 25 OO0
men had been considered sufficient
down to the Mckinley administra-
ton. He commends, too, the gen
eral staff bill "made in Germany"
and the quasi organization of the
| militia as part of the regular army
in times of war OR internal disturb
ance. "The militia law" says the
President, "enacted by Congress,
marks the first long step ever taken
| in this direction by the national gov
ernment.'' 1t does indeed, and if
future Congresses are Republican in
| both branches no doubt it will be
enlarged and broadened and deepen
ed until the militia is practically
added to the regular army, thus Civ
| ing us an establishment as large as
Germany's and more expensive-a
| war establishment that will awe all
enemies of our noble band Of cam
paign contributors, rendering them
strong, secure and aggressive.

III. NJ. FLAGLER'S DIVORCED
WIFE HERSELF
AGAIN.
A True Story of How Two Rich
Men Treated Their Insane
Wives-"'rill Death
Do Us Part"
Kansas City World.

It is telegraphed from Florida that
Mrs. Ida Flagler, divorced wife Of
Henry NJ. Flagler, the Standard Oil
millionaire, is recovering her reason.
The announcement brings to miud
the story of a husbands calIousness
if not his crime.
Mrs. Flagler was the wife Of her
husbands youth. She endured with
him early privations and with him
struggled to get up in the world.
When she went insane Flagler had
a law passed by the Florida legisla-
ture permitting him to divorce this
wife. The Flagler millions were
presumably drawn upon to secure
this law. Anyway, the law the
multi-millionaire desired was passed,
and there was great scandal because
of alleged bribery.
Being freed from the old wife
Flagler married younger and hand
somer woman.
And to add to the pathos of the
story the divorced wife knows moth
ing of what has happened while she
was insane. She is driven daily
about the sanitarium, but by Mr..
Flagler's orders is never taken be-
yond the limits of the village, Per-
haps a lingering regard for the dis
carded wife leads Flagler to keep all
the facts from her so long as pos
sibIe.
That is one story.
Here is another:
The wife Of wealthy Chicago citi-
zen lost her mind. Being pronounced
insane by a commission the officers
came to take her to an asylum. Her
husband said they could take her
only over his dead body. He sold
his business and gave all his time to
care for her. It was an awful task,
but he did not shrink. Finally he
took the insane wife to Kentucky,
where she was reared and where he
had courted her. There, amid the
scenes of her childhood, she began
living her life over again and in time
was restored.
This man was husband.
Flagler held marriage as a conven-
ience, this man a sacred covenant,
"Till death do us part"

SUSPECTS DISCHARGED.
The Two Young Men Supposed to
Be the Mt. Olive Safe Rob
bers, Set Free In
Charlotte.

The two young men who were
arrested in Charlotte some days ago
and remained in iail in that city for
10 days suspected of being the par
ties who robbed the Mt. Olive post
Office safe, have been discharged as
will be seen from the following taken
from the Charlotte Observer:
"The people of Charlotte have
been very much interested in the
case of Messrs. E. P. Virgin and w.
F. Adams, the young men who were
arrested here on March 3Oth, on the
charge of robbing the postofice at
Mt. Olive. They were kept in Jail
here for 10 days, and when they
were finally permitted to come to
trial, they were discharged, no evil
dence whatever to sustain the charge
having been brought against them.
"They have gone their way honor
ably acquitted, and with a degree of
notority which, though unpleasant,
may in the end help to advertise
them and their business"

PRICE OF COTTON.

The census bureau reported crop
Of about 1O,75O,OOO bales, and this
report started a severe tussle between
the two opposing and militant forces
in the market, and at this writing
spot cotton has been marked up to or
above 10 cents, and contract cotton
is soaring toward II cents. May cot
ton has sold up to 1910.
The statistical position of cotton is
undoubtedly favorable to those de-
string higher prices. Stocks stand at
about $50, 900 bales, as against ,1O3,-
900 bales last year and 1887 600
bales year before last. The home
mills and the export demand have
both consumed cotton freely, and to-
day the American stocks are low in
deed. The truth is, this country has
not grown in the last three years the
cotton the world expects from it.
The crop of 1999-1900 was but o.
436, 900 bales, and the effects of such
a shortage are still felt. The world
really needs an American crop of11,
100000 bales, and American stocks
are now so low an American crop of
$4,000, 600 bales would be absorbed
without difficulty.
The position of the Southern farm
er is assured, simply because the
needs Of the world, so far as his chief
cash crop is concerned, have out
grown production. 1t is not probable
that crop exceeding 100000
bales can at present be produced, and
anything below that aggregate will
be speedily taken by mills at home
and abroad. AS things are going the
world will crowd the Southern
farmers, demanding at every turn
more cotton. This is why European
countries are endeavoring to grow
cotton elsewhere, but commercial
cotton grown outside of America is a
scarce article. India needs foodstuffs
more than cotton; Egypt's cotton
acreage is limited to irrigation; and
the other countries are not produc
ing much cotton for export use. The
burden falls upon the South, and the
Southern farmer will have his hands
full if he supplies the worlds wants
in the next three or four years.

How It Was Composed, AS Told
By Ziem.
New York Times.

New York Times.
Late one summers afternoon Chop
in and I sat talking in my studio.
I spoke Of music and he of paint
ing. Strange, is it not? Artists are
very fond of exchanging views in
this way.
In one corner of the room stood a
piano and in another the complete
skeleton Of man, with large white
cloth thrown ghestiike about it.
l noticed that now and again
Chopin's gaze would wander, and,
from my knowledge of the man, /
knew that his thoughts were far
away from me and his surround
ings.
More than that, I knew that he
was composing.
Presently he rose from his seat
without a word, walked over to the
skeleton, and removed the cloth. He
then carried it to the piano, and
seating himself, took the hideous
object upon his knees.
A strange picture of life and death!
Then drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton, he held the
latter's fingers over his own and be-
gan to play.
There was no hesitation in the
slow, measured flow of sound which
he and the skeleton conjured up.
AS the music swelled in a louder
strain l closed my eyes, for there
was something weird in that picture
of man and skeleton seated at the
piano, with the shadows of evening
deepening around them and the ever
swelling and ever-softening music
filling the air with mystery.
And I knew I was listening to a
composition which would live for
ever.
The music ceased, and when I
looked up the piano chair was
empty, and on the floor lay Chopin's
unconscious form, and beside him,
smashed all to pieces, was the skele-
ton I priced so much.
The great composer had swooned,
but his march was found.

FLBG SHIP RAISED.
THE WAR SHIP REINA CHRIS
TINA, WHICH DEWEY
SUNK RAISED IN
MANILA BAY.
Eighty Spanish Skeletons Were In
Her Huil-Fifteen Punctures
Show For the Work Of
Admiral DeWey's
Men and
Guns.

Manila, April 12.-The war ship
Reina Christina, flag ship of Ad-
miral Montojo, which was sunk by
Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay, was
foated and beached yesterday. The
skeletons of about eighty of her crew
were found in the hulk. One skele-
ton, evidently, was that of an officer,
for it had sword by its side.
There were fifteen shell holes in
the hull of the Reina Christina, one
made by an eight-inch and the others
by smaller shots. The main injec-
ton valve is missing, showing that
the ship was scuttled when Admiral
Montojo abandoned her. The hull is
in fair condition.
Capt. Albert r. Couden, command
ing the naval station at Cavite, took
charge of the remains of the Spanish
sailors, expressing a desire to give
them an America naval funeral The
Spanish residents, however, are
anxious to ship the skeletons to
Spain, and it is suggested that the
U. S. Transport Sumner convey
them to Spain by way of the Suez
canal in June.
A wrecking company is endeavor-
ing to raise all the sunken Spanish
war ships.

ANOTHER WAIF BABY.
A Novel Tax Upon Goldsboro's Rep

"A NONG1 Lax - pom NOlQSDOGO' 3 Rep
utation For Philanthropy.
On Saturday night between - and
1 o'clock a basket Of baby clothes,
with a boy baby to wear them, va
riously estimated from one to three
months old, was left upan the porch
Of DR.. Frank Boyette, the dentist,
by some unknown person, who, latter
vigorously ringing the door bell,
made his Or her retreat DIR. Boyette
on going to the door found the basket
as above. Then the doctor did some
ringing. He rang up the police at
city headquarters and told them his
troubles and asked them to come and
arrest the baby, which Officers Den
mark and Fulghum proceeded in
haste to do. They took the sleeping
infant, snugly tucked away in the
basket of clothes, and carried it to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. George Stith,
who compassionately took it in and
by whom it is now being cared for.
This is the third instance in recent
years of babies being left at homes
in Goldsboro, and the most careful
research has developed that they
were surreptitiously brought in here
from elsewhere. This is a manifes-
tation of outside confidence in Colds
boro's philanthropy that our COM
munity would rather not have so
frequently-or, even at atall-impressed
upon them.

Berry Culture.
The best growers Of bush fruits
make 1t practice to carry their fields
no longer than six to nine years. AZ
ter this time they are plowed up. new
fields being set In the meantime to
keep the crop going. There are va
rious reasons why a bed Of raspber-
ries or blackberres deteriorates after
a certain number of years. The plants
become weakened with age, they are
attacked by insects or disease. and
they do not produce young fruiting
wood with anything like their pris-
tine vigor. Further than that. the
soil becomes exhausted more or less
of elements Of fertility. Rotation Of
crops Is favorable to success in all
lines Of agriculture, and not less so
with fruit crops than with others.
We therefore suggest, as being very
strongly indicated by the symptoms,
that 1t will be best for you to set n
new field Of blackberries at once, and
to pillow up the old one as soon as the
new one comes into bearing. In set
ting new field, we would insist upon
fresh plants from some good nursery
or from some grower who makes n
speciality Of growing plants 1t is very
poor practice and poor economy to

be due largely to the calves drinking
from ponds. which contain the eggs Of
the worms and also from pasturing on
wet grounds. There Is. at present, no
remedy which may be relied upon, 30

trouble. II possible. and this can best
be done by keeping the calves I'm a
warm, dry barn and seeing that the
water they drink is from a well and
as pure as possible. They should not
be allowed to pasture until the grass
Is dry, nor should wet grass be fed to
them. The plan of injecting oil Of
turpentine into the windpipe Is not
very satisfactory. but 1t Is the best
thing known. and in some cases has
proved satisfactory. - indianapolis
