the American Revolution convened in this
city today. Many OF the leaders Of the
organization that Plumbers 10000 patriotic
women, we're present. Approximately 1000
delegates and aIternates from all the states
In the union attended.
The congress will be in session through
out the week and already bids fair to be
marked by several warm contests. the
principal one being over the ONCE OF presi-
dent-general. Mrs. Charles w. Fairbanks
is a candidate to succeed herself for the
second time. She already has served one
term as president-generad and one term
before that as vice president-general, and
the opponents to her reelection claim that
her tenure in both ofices operates as two
continuous terms in the meaning Of an
amendment to the constitution in prevent
ing the officers from serving more than
two continuous terms.
The advocates Of her election contend
that the amendment was not retroactive
and that she is therefore eligible. Mrs.
Daniel Manning and Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean, both OF New York City, will be con-
s~picuous In the campaign for president
general.
Would Limit Term American.
The feature Of today's proceedings were
the address OF welcome OF President-Genera
Fairbanks, the response b. Mrs. May
Phelps Montgomery Of Oregon and the
ceremony OF raising on the site Of the
Memorial Continental hall the nag pre-
scented. to the, society by the Sons Of the
American Revolution OF Washington.
Mrs. Fairbanks, in her address referred
to the influx Of Italians, ~Bohemians, Poles
and Russians in Greater New York, and
said that the greatest aspiration should be,
to eliminate the attaching OF any other
nationalities to the word American. She re-
ferred to pending amendments relating to
limitations on the length Of service Of
officers and to change the date OF the an
nual meeting to either the week in which
April 10 falls or to the FIRST Monday in
May, and recited the arguments OF both
sides on the latter question, but made no
recommendation beyond saying that "all
will regret our failure to meet in that
week in which Washington's birthday oc-
ours.
During the year there were 1850 mem
bers added to the rolls. She said that
Louisiana purchase is absorbing the atten-
ton. not alone Of the Daughters Of Mis-
souri,, but the Daughters Of every chapter
in the United States, and urged q hearty
cooperation OF the 10000 women Of the
order In the St. Louis exposition. .
During the long roll call by states and
chapters, Mrs. Fairbanks instructed the
chairman of tho house committee to take
possession OF the doors and keep the dele
gates in until the roll call had been con-
cluded.

Here is a novel feat which can be
done by an Oklahoma negro: He
starts wild steer on run, and, pur-
suing on horseback, rides alongside
and when at full speed leaps from the
horse to the back of the steer. Then,
taking hold of the horns, he slides
under the neck of the frantic ami
NAL, and seizes it by the nose with
his teeth, let's go the horns. and, leap
ing to the ground, throws the steer by
means of his mouth alone. Pickett
is a medium sized, bowlegged and de-
cidedly muscular negro. He has no
peer and no imitator in his speciality
1t is lively sport, and ought surely
to become popular in Oklahoma.

The serious drawback to the up
building of a town, with even the
most brilliant prospects, says the Man
deville Wave, is the determination of
citizens who enjoy the advantage to
make the most out of every contem-
plated enterprise, and if this not real
lied, they frown upon it to the extent
of killing it outright. If land is de-
sired they raise the price demanded
for it several fold. If conveniences
are needed they gobble them up and
hold them at fabulous prices. If con-
cessions are required they exert their
influence to have them withheld I'M
til they become satisfied financially or
otherwise. In nine cases out of ten
this policy of seltishness scares the pro-
jectors and sends them elsewhere with
their capital.

DIREFUL
WEATHER
TIONS.
PREDIC.

Weather Prophet Foster has made
predictions for September that are
calculated to cause some uneasiness,
says the Forest Register. While we
hope he is mistaken, it is we'll enough
to heed his warning. He says:
81 am expecting some very dan
gerous storms in September. That will
be a tornado and hurricane month
Great extremes of temperature and
rain, from drouth to flood and from
extreme heat to early frosts. No Sep
TENDER of recent times has brought
greater weather events. l do not hest
tate to warn the people of all civilized
countries to remain close to good pro-
lection and particularly not to venture
on the water. By giving heed to these
warnings nothing can be lost-much
may be saved. Our navy should shell
ter it's fleets in the best harbors, and
ships that must go to sea should pre-
pare for the worst.
Of course I cannot give the exact
localities of tornado and flood, but I
will closely point out the dates and
in a general way the localities.
My readers know that I am not in
clined to sensational forecasts, that I
have avoided that style of doubtful
propriety, but cannot too strongly
urge the Importance of giving heed to
these warnings. Better wait until o.
tober 1st, before you hurl your ridi-
Guile at this very important forecast;
better count up the millions that will
be saved by giving heed to it.

WHERE COTTON is KING.

Mississippi will spend, OH the ex-
hibit she is preparing for the worlds
fair at ST. Louis, more than 90 times
the amount she did on the exhibit at
the Colombian Exposition at Chicago.
For that fair $25, 900 was appropriated
by the state. For the Louisiana Pur.
chase Exposition, $500 has already
been appropriated by the legislature,
and when that body again rconvenes
in January, 1904, it is expected that
this sum will be largely augmented
A splendid site was early allotted to
the state on which will be built a pa
vilion, to be used as headquarters for
visitors from Mississippi and for the ir
friends. The site is level tract on
the State plateau, east of the Iowa
building and south of New Jersey.
r. FL. Henry, the Executive Com
missioner, has visited every county
in the state delivering addresses,
working up interest, and securing
! features for the state exhibit.
Mississippians assert that their state
has never been properly represented
at previous great expositions, and they
have determined to demonstrate at
St. Louis, in 1904, that the rich soil
of Mississippi in the production of di-
versified crops cannot be excelled any
where, and that the state produces
anything and everything that can be
pr oduced in any state in the union
In the palace Of Agriculture, Mis-
sissippi will make great cotton ex-
hibit. In the production of this COM
modify, Mississippi claims to lead the
world, and every phase of the cotton
industry will come in for treatment
Cotton will be shown growing in the
fields. How it is picked, transported,
carried through the cotton gins, baled,
and made into cloth will all be shown
in interesting detail. How cotton
seed oil is extracted, and the various
articles made from this product will
also interest the visitor.
While cotton is king in Mississippi,
other crops are by no means neglected.
Total crop failures, which have occur
red in less favored states, are unknown
there. Hay and grass grow spontan-
eously. Besides these products, the
exhibit in the agricultural depart
ment will embrace wheat, oats, rice,
barley, peas, pumpkins, sugar cane,
tobacco, clover, millet, maize, with
other important products of the farm.
Fruit farms and market gardens thrive
in Mississippi, and yield bountlful
crops all the year round. There is
never month that some valued crop
| may not be harvested. This will be
demonstrated by the large exhibit in
the Palace of Horticulture, where will
be shown peaches, apples, plums,
pea1s, grapes, cherries, berries, quin-
ces, figs, tomatoes, beans, vegetables,
cabbages, turnips, radishes, and other
fruits and vegetables.
| Strawberries yield abundantly on
the hills and rolling lands of eastern
Mississippi, and from Meridian north
to Corinth, along the line of the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad, the luscious
fruit is grown with much profit. Ex-
cellent transportation facilities permit
the berries to quickly reach the north
ern market, and sell at the high
Iprices that prevail early in the sea-
I'son.
| Mississippi women, who are taking
an enthusiastic part in their state ex-
hibit, will make telling display in

We have eaten fruit and chickens,
Fried ham, eggs and rice,
And now fearful licking
Having missed the blessing twice.
Oh Jove have mercy upon US
In our awful lonely state,
And restore thy weeping children
Before too everlasting late.
We footed out native bugles
And spread abroad our fame,
We alarmed the toads and doodles
But got left all the same.
Just stop and think it over
How the weeks and month did pass,
We living in highest clover,
To be dashed out of joint at last.
To seek some human sympathy,
If any may be found;
To lull the dreadful failures
They passed the coca round.
Let us take the hand of parting
And bid each long adieu;
Go home with hearts smarting
And wait for something new.
AS old Josh one wisely said
(Hear it all, both the living and the
dead
Do as you will, but me and mine
Will stick to truth if left behind.
Oh pity Jove, our waiting souls,
Forgive all the lies we've heard and
told;
And never more in such strife
Will we involve our. precious life.
You may your bed softly make,
If found living four years hence;
AS for me and my son Jake,
We will pillow and fix the fence.
So boys pass the coca still.
We will drink and pay the bill
Take kiss of parting tn en-,
Go back home and be wiser men.
We started out with mighty vim;
Live or die, sink or swim,
To do the right condemn the wrong,
Was soon kicked out the mighty
throng.
We are left, yes oh my soul,
To reach the 'simmon, larger poll
Is needed now or can never be,
We must wait another Jubilee.
So good by friends, one and all,
Well go home to scour and scald,
Help our wives to cook and nurse,
Seek other means to fill our purse.
And if ever again during natural life
We are found involved in strife,
We do hope some trusty friend
Will land us safely in the pen.
(THE DEPARTURE.
All aboard both friend and foe,
For up Salt river we must 60,

High upon Pearidge, the home of the

Of Miss Mary Graham Celebrated at
 Shetering Arms.
 At sheltering Arms, on Saturday. the one hundredth birthday of Miss Mary Graham was joyousiy celebrated. Miss Graham is a great favorite with the other members of the home; and although many of them could scarcely believe that she had attained such an age, it was proved to their complete satisfaction, and all united in making the day a memorable one for her and for the household. There was birth day feast arranged by the managers of the Sheltering Arms, followed by a pleasing programme of music by a number of young ladies who are inter- ested in the home.
 Miss Graham received many birthday gifts and took a lively interest in all that had been arranged in her honor. After the entertainment snapshot picture was taken of her by one of the visitors. The affair was most enjoya- ble in every respect.--Norwich Bulletin.

Henry Lee and his Representations of great men, past and present, is one of the features of the bill He imper- sonates President Roosevelt to perfec- tion. Others impersonated in a clever manner included the venerable Pope Leo, who was given in his robes of state and with that kindly smile which has been so often commented upon by leading writers of the world. Gen eral U. S. Grant was also shown in his dust covered army uniform on the field of battle. Others were Richard Croker, the ex-Tammany chief, with some words of advice to young men.
 Ed. F. Reynard is down on the bill as the incomparable yentriloquist, and he does not belle his introduction. His act is entirely different from other ar lists of that line. He has mank chang es of voice, each under perfect con- trol, and his work is done without ap~ parent effort. B
 Some of the others were Mir. and Mrs. Larry Shaw and their songs and dances, Kline and Gotthold and their sketch, "A Medical nDiscovery," Swan and Bombard with their grotesque comedy work in the acrobatic line, the Exposition Four with a select musical act, Miss Flossie Allen and her song hits, Bedini and Arthur and their jug gling feats and the vitagraph with views Of the cup defender Reliance and some colored views in the moving picture series.

Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin com- pany comes to the Grand opera house the last three days this week, with the regular matinee Saturday. An ex- change says of this attraction: That the venerable drama of Uncle Toms Cabin" still holds secure it's pre-emi- nent place in the hearts of the Ameri- can public, so far as Concord is con- cerned at least. was made evident by the size of the audience which greeted the production of the play by the Stet- son company in this city Saturday af- ternoon and evening. At the matinee over 700 paid admissions were recorded and of these more than 800 were chil- dren. In the evening there was an- other crowd of almost equal size and this time the grown upsi were in the predominance. The play was well given and numerous specialties in the line of singing and dancing were intro duced. The two Topsies and the two Marks the Lawyers, caused an un- bounded delight and the death of little Eva and the whipping of Uncle Tom were, as they have been for more than thirty years. the inspiring cause of many tears.
