bloodhounds. A few days later a Wo- man was assaulted in that same coun- try and they called them out About week after that little girl was att tackled up the Alleghenny valley and they turned the dogs loose. Did they ever accomplish anything? Not a thing, except that the authorities fooled around with the dogs so long that they never did get any trace of the men they wanted.
 T imagine that one of the troubles around here is that they don't take the right care of the beasts. Then there's another thing-this country is so thick Iy settled that dog would be coming across a regular tangle of scents every where he turned. That wasn't true of The country where they chased slaves, and if the trail was once found it was a good deal easier to hold it-more like tracking an animal with It's own de structive scent, for instance.
 T remember one time, out at home, they got brace of bloodhounds out at the workhouse. It caused a whole lot l of excitement, and we all thought we were just about as near the head of the procession as there was any need of being. My. my, but there were doings when any. of the prisoners bfke loose
 For a long time after they got the dogs every man that slipped away was brought back, and every one seemed tc think that 1t was on account of thS hounds As a matter of fact, it wasn't at all unless peple paid more attention to the escapes, because the dogs weri always brought out and in that way the fugitiyes ran more chances of dis covery.
 "One of the things that hastened do ing away with the dogs was an incl dent that happened one afternoon oi the outskirts of the town. There was little saloon there kind of roadhous E-and only a short distance beyond i was the workhouse. The place did good business, but on account of it location there wouldn't be sou around except the proprietor for hour together sometimes,

The saloon keeper hurried over to the door an looked out and the young fellow aske him what the trouble was.
 Man escaped over at the workhoust They're getting the dogs out said th proprietor.
 eThat so?,' said the young fellow 'Bet they don't get him
 "1Why not? demanded the othel just as the dogs and men swept pas not fifteen feet away from them.

MARKsMANsHIp IN THE ARMY

MARKsMANsHIP IN THE ARMY.
 The war department and Lieutenant eneral Chaffee, chief of staff, have uni ted in urging congress to make an ap- propriation for the payment of extra Compensation to expert rifiemen, sharp shooters and marksmen in the army tn. der plan which seems likely to pro- duce better results than does the pres ent system. Expert riaemen now re ceive one dollar a month in addition to their regular pay, and during the last target year only sixty-one men quail, fled in this class.
 eneraGI Chaffee points out that the division competitions now held tend to develop a few very expert marksmen rather than to raise the general aver age or the arnly's shooting. He, would therefore encourage good narksman- ship by giving extra monthly allow ances of three dollars to expert rifie- men, two dollars to sharpshooters and one dollar to fnarksmen generally.
 This scheme of rewards was recom- mended by the paymaster- general in his annual report, and it Is estimated that the total expenditure under such a sys- tenn would be in the neighborhood of thirteen thousand dollars year.
 This amount of money would be trf, l fling in comparison with the value of an improvement in craftsmanship. If the plan did not work no great harm would be done, and if the experiment made at so small a cost resulted in i'm proving the craftsmanship of the en- listed men of the army to degree that General Chaffee and his- associates think probable a great benefit would be obtained.
 Moreover, the emulation would give l interest to army life. Desertions are So many that everything that might tend to relieve the monotony of the soldiers existence should be supplied. General Chaffee's report recently made public showed that in the year covered by it one out of every ten enlisted men in the 1 army deserted. If bonuses paid for ex- l cellence in shooting aroused interest among the men and cut down the per centage of deserters, even by a little, the investment would be extremely profitable to the nation.--New York Sun.

USE OF BLooDHoUNDs.

Good in Uncle Tom's Cabin" But of
 Little Account Elsewhere.
 T see they've called out the blood hounds again." said the man from Ohio, as he flung his paper aside. T reckon that means there's one more robber glad they have, because it isn't once in a hundred times that the dogs make good. For some reason or other, though, the old belief that they're all right won't be shaken out.
 I've never been able to figure out why they keep on trying them. Ac- cording to my mind, Uncle Tom's Cab in is responsible for the fooIishness. and if it is there's mother count to be added to the indictment against the poor old play and, dear knows, crimes enough have been committed in it's name as it is, let alone chalking up any more against it.
 It looks like a cinch when Eliza makes her break for the Ohio, and you hear a growl and couple of bellows from the wings, but even If the play wright and the stage manager didn't interfere there wouldn't be any more believe in the dogs than do now. You ask any Dogberry--no pun intended-at the crossroads, and he'll tell you, sure as shooting, that bloodhounds are the real thing. To prove 1t, he'll ask you If they didn't use them before the war to run down slaves, and that settles it with him. If you ask him how he knows they did he'll cite Uncle Toms Cabin nine times out of ten. And 1t was only last summer that he see the show, too.
 Now, there's no denying that they did use hounds to track runaways in ante-bellum times, although not to the extent that is generally believed, even by well informed people. When they had them for that purpose, though, they didn't use them for anything else. They were very careful what they fed them to keen their noses clean and sharp, so that when they got on the trail of man they could hold it. IA man isn't like an animal you know, and it's pretty definitely established that there's mighty little difference between the scent of two men. If dogs nose gets dull. you can see how easy it would be for him to go wrong.
 T don't claim to be an expert on this sort of thing, but I've watched the use of bloodhounds by the police for a good many years, and I've put in a good deal of spare time trying to figure out why it was that they So seldom make good. You pick up paper with yarn in it about the dogs being brought out, and in majority of cases you'll reai some thing like this: The hounds were taken to the scene of, the robbery. but they could not catch the scent, and they were taken back to the jail, where they were Sept until latar n 'ha day, when another ottembt was made

AN INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COURT.


 Senator Elkins' bill for the establish ment of an interstate commerce cir cult court seems to be iH-advised if not absurd. In one respect it will remind Chicago people of the stereotyped method in this city of conducting a great popular movement.
 In Chicago, when there is a demand for a great reform, the first step is for some body or any body to appoint a committee of fifteen prominent citizens. This committee meets and looks the ground over and decides to increase it's membership to fifty. The fifty meet, consider the matter, express approval of all that has been done and vote unanimously to increase the member ship to one hundred. The one hundred hold one or two meetings and then drop t'e 9ubject and it is never heard of again. 4
 The likeness between the two cases llls in Ine disposition of people who dc not know what they want or who find themselves considering an insolublt problem to shirk the responsibility and pretend that they are doing something when they are merely passing off dis agreeable job, like bad penny, or some one else.
 The establishment of an interstate commerce circuit court would not dis pose of any single difficulty that ha arisen in connection with the interstat, commerce commission and the fixing Q freight rates.
 Every constitutional and administra i tive difficulty that is experienced D. l the commission would be experiences ) by the court. The bill simply dodge | the issue and resembles a man wh l thinks he is thinking. but is not. N 5 wonder it is already opposed in ever l quarter.
 5 The trouble both with the interstat
 commerce commission, and with tn : proposed court is that the United State , government is attempting to spread il ]. self over too great an area of huma r interests.
 9 It has a disagreeable sumptuary an : socialistic tendency, We are all over : Iegislated and governed too mucf l There is. "a golden mean between anal chy and being governed to death. Chi

Adam, Eve. Cain and Abel Are Some of
 the Unusual Ones in That State.
 Kentucky is said to hold the record of all the states in the Union for towns with old and unusual names.
 Eden, which is in Butler county, should properly come first in the list of towns. and immediately after it would logically come Adam, which is in Law renee county. Even is in Green county, and is a promising place, although small. Gains Store is in Pulaski, and this is the first mention of the way in which the first child born to woman earned his livilihood after election from the Garden; Abel. the second born, is in. Laurel county.
 Happiness is peculiarly connected with some of the towns, at least 50 Tar as the names go. even if the connections do not go further. One ought certainly to be happy in Bliss, which is in Adair county, or in Joy, Livingston county, and one certainly would not be sad if he lived in Jolly, Davies county. On the other hand, one would not derive much pleasure from existing in a town which possesses the name of Blood. Blood is in Galloway county, and is
 said to be an exceedingly peaceable lit-
 tie city.
 Caution, Clay county, may possibly
 be well named if that county's reputa-
 tion that it was best to proceed circum-
 specify be correct The inhabitants of
 Angel, Whitley county, should certain
 ly have good dispositions, as well as
 those who live in Halo, Logan county, or Sugar. Galloway county. Sweet, Bath county, is another town which
 ought to be productive of good living.
 In contrast with these comes Ice, Let
 cher county. and Snow, Clinton county These two places are not in it with Summer Shade, which is in Metcalfe county, as that is tolerably warm place. Pump, in Morgan county has its opposite in Poverty. which Is in Nc
 Lean county. The man who named Alone, in Metcalfe county, must have been tired and lonesome when he fixed this sad name to it,
 Awe, in Lewis county. suggests sub dued feeling, while Faith, in Mclean
 county and Hope, in Montgomery coun- ty, give one sense of rest and conA- < dence. If one does not set all one wants !. there, one can still go to Balm. in Elem ing county, and there find relief. Cash in Hardin county, and Coin. in Pulaski
 county, suggest wealth, although they
 are now towns in which capitalists re-
 side. Coy, in Marshall county and Cyl
 clone, in Monroe county, reach the op-
 posite extremes, while Jamboree, ir ' Pike county. certainly suggests a hila : rlous time. The following are some O the other names which are out of the
 ordinary.

Counsel on both sides agreed to sub
nit the same. Judge oyd amended his

ing the features of law he had over
looked in his first charge.
The jury will not further consider

Rejoicing Over Vote for School Tax.

Salisbury, n. c., May 3.-There is
general rejoicing at Spencer today
over the fact that a special school tax
was unanimously voted by that town
yesterday in the municipal election.
The place has grown SO rapidly with
in the past two years that it has been
impossible for the needs of the school
to be met and the people had become
so aroused on the subject that relief
was bound to come. A significant fact
in connection with the election was
that not a single colored vote was cast
and there is not a colored voter reg
istered in the town, a condition which
perhaps exists nowhere else in North
Carolina where the population is as
large as $500. 1t is also learned that
three of the nominees of the citizens
movement, which opposed thesstraight
Democratic ticket did not vote in the
election, one of them failing on ac-
count of not having paid his poll tax
as prescribed by the law.

Chicago, May 3.-Thirty-five thous-
and loaves of bread were received in
Chicago today from Pittsburg to re-
leve the famine threatened by the

Louis bakeries were appealed to for

WANTS TO ABOLISH FEES.
Think All County Officers Should be
Paid Salaries.

Some weeks ago the county commits
sioners of Rowan county changed the
method of paying the county treas
urer, substituting a salary for commits
sions. AT the meeting or the board of
trustees of Charlotte township, Mr.. f.
d. Alexander offered the following
resolution which was adopted with few
dissenting votes:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the board of trustees of Charlotte
township that all fees and commits
sions of all county Offices shall be con-
verted into the county treasury, and
that in lieu of said fees and commits
sions heretofore received by said Off
cials, a fixed salary shall be paid to
each.
Further, that salary commenSur-
ate with the dignity and duties of the
office shall be paid to the chairman of
the board of county commissioners.
A committee of +. d. Alexander,
Walter Brem and j. S. Myers was ap
pointed to represent the matter before
the people of the county.
