Il am very fond of peanuts" said
the henpecked man, according to the
Philadelphia Record, but I've had to
give them up. No, not on account of
my health. You see, my wife acted so
foolishly about it that l cut out the
peanut habit simply to keep peace in
the family. l frequently used to buy
a bag to take home in the evening,
and generally ate a few on the way.
Well, the other evening my wife, who
has a most suspicious nature. sneered
at me when 1 reached home. Been
eating peanuts again, have you" she
remarked. Why, yes, my dear 1
said, pulling the bag from my pocket.
Fine thing to sober up on, eh?' she
continued. l gazed at her in blank
amazement. oh, you needn't play in
nocent,' she went on. I know all
about it. How many drinks have you
had to-day?' My dear 1 expostu-
lated, 1 don't know what you mean. 1
have had nothing to drink Don't
tell me- she exclaimed. I've found
you out at last. And with that she
flashed on me some fool newspaper
clipping to the effect that after imbib-
ing too freely, few neanuts have a
wonderful effect in SOLDERING a person

Senator Depew is an enthusiastic
congressional seeds distributor Some
days ago a friend sent him a list of
names with the request that garden
seeds be sent to them. The ever
obliging Senator at once took steps to
see that his constituents got their
seeds, at government expense Then
there followed a congestion of the post
Office at Mount Vernon, N. Y, and of
the mails going to that place. The
postmaster and the postal clerks swore.
but kept on handling the seeds from
Washington. A day or two ago il
leaked out that the list sent the Sena-
tor contained the roster of member
ship of the Larchmont Yacht Club and
the names of their sisters and their
cousins and their aunts. The Larch-
monters know vegetables, of course,
when they see them on the dining
table, and they occasionally raise vege-
tables. with their forks to their
mouths but that is the extent of their
knowledge of and interest in garden
truck. Senator Depew now fears that
ssomebody tried TO play a joke on him.

The House Committee on Banking
and Currency has at length taken a
step in favor of clean currency. 1t
has favorably recommended a bill pro-
viding for an extended issue of small
bills and the destruction of bills that
have become worn, ragged and filthy.
1t is TO be hoped the House will take
the matter up and pass the bill prompt
ly. There is no politics in the measure.
so it can be safely handled. Every
body, be he Democrat or Republican,
likes to have his bills clean, crisp and

And now comes another chemical ex-
pert, also of the Department of Agri-
culture, who says the newly discovered
germ destroyer, referred to in these
columns yesterday, is not the Bordeaux
mixture; that it is not a universal
panacea; that ats formula is still
secret, and that it should never be
used except by the direction of ex-
perts. The solution, however, he de-
clares to be fatal to typhoid, and that
it will be a boon to mankind. BY
whatever name the solution may be
known, if it will do what is claimed
for it, it is worth ten times the cost
of running the Agricultural Depart
ment for dozen years.

Some experts over in China are still
unconvinced that the free and unlim-

thing. They are said to be making
coins in imitation of quarters and half
dollars of the United States and ship
ping them in quantities to this coun
try, The amount of silver in a half
dollar is worth about 80 cents, so that
the coiners are making a profit, exclu-

Rev. DR.. hoffman, a Presbyterian
clergyman of Chicago, fears the church
is becoming effeminate. Ths influ-
ence of women, he says. is becoming
paramount in the church. The minis
tiers preach to suit women rather than
men; the women take the leading part
in the running of the church. The
result of all this, he says, is that the
preaching of the gospel is losing its
manly tone. and its power to attract
and hold men is becoming weaker.

Charles Norris of San Francisco was
told by his physician eleven years ago
that he had consumption and that he
must take open air exercise; that he
possibly had six months to live, but
might lengthen the time to a year.
Norris determined to try walking. At
first he was so weak he could go only
short distance in day. Gradually
he grew stronger and his health be-
gan to improve. Since that time he
has walked more than 10000 miles and
believes himself cured. He walks
South in the winter and North in the
summer. The nomadic life has be-
come fascinating to him. and he says
he will continue it. He is neither tramp
nor beggar, but walks for health and
pleasure.

While we are talking about bulldogs
in particular. would it not be a good
idea to take UP the subject of dogs
in general and not only say. but do,
something about them? There are en-
tirely too many dogs on the streets.
There are too many dogs in the city.
Probably seven-tenths of them are
worthless and eight-tenths of them are
a nuisance to everybody save their in
dividual owners. They are continually
swapping and snarling about the legs
Of bicycle riders and occasionally bit
ing people. The majority Of them,
doubtless, are dogs on which no tax
has been paid. If the tax has been paid
there is nothing about the dogs to in
dictate it. and they do not look as if
they were worth the dollar that the
city requires. A liberal thinning out
of dogs would conduce to the comfort
and health of the people.

PORT ARTHUR SHORT OF COAL

London, June 1.-THE correspondent
Of the Times aboard the steamer Hal
nun says: 1T is pretty certain from
intelligence received by the Japanese
secret service that even if the chan
mel OF Port Arthur is practicable for
large draught ships there is not suffi-
cient coal in Port Arthur for such
vessels to take to sea. The explosions
heard at Port Arthur are believed to
have been caused by the demolition
of certain government buildings. A
portion of the Japanese second army
corps will hold the land approaches
to Port Arthur until Talienwan bay
shall have been made practicable for
further debarkation Meantime "a
screen of mounted troops is being
pushed up beyond kaiping for the
purpose of allowing the reconstruction
of the railway to proceed as rapidly

Che Foo June 1.-THE correspond
ent of the Associated Press at Teng
Chow cables that there was firing at
Port Arthur last night, beginning at
1880 and continuing for several
hours. A junk arriving during the
night from Dalny reports that there
was heavy firing all day yesterday in
the vicinity OF Port Arthur. When
the junk left Dalny Monday morning
all was quiet there. The arrivals on
the junk deny the story of the sinking
of the Japanese ship off Talienwan.
Lao Yang, June 1.-THE CORE
lity prevailing at Viceroy Alexieff's
headquarters in Mukden find them
selves here in totally different at
mosphere. The throbbing of the
whole great Manchurian war engine
can be felt here. The town is full of
officers from all branches of the SER
vice. Many of them on their way to
rejoin their regiments at the front
gather in groups at the buffet or on
the station platform to discuss the
campaign or speculate on develop
ments. The real work is carried on
directly overhead, the second story of
the station itself being the army head
quarters. Telegraph wires radiating
in every direction control the move
ments of the Russian forces through
out Manchuria. A hundred yards up
the track upon an isolated siding
stands Il military train shaded by
white tent. where General Kouropat-
kin makes his home and uses as his
movable headquarters for flying visits
to outlying points.
Military interest is now centered
upon the region of imminent opera
tions-the Lao Tung peninsula. An
other Japanese army is landing on
the eastern coast as a counter weight
to the Russian arrivals from Dashit-
siao, southwark from General Oku's
The Japanese have seemingly given
up the idea of attacking Lao Yang,
if they entertained such a plan. The
rainy season. which is expected to be-
gin in two or three weeks, would it is
considered here, render an advance
to Iao Yang impossible. The Cos
sacks are keeping in touch with the
Japanese outposts. Another force IS
watching General Kuroki's right wing
north of the Yalu river.

secure a foundation as that which our
Eastern and Central brethren now en-
joy.
1.-THE Democracy of Western North
Carolina has many times made stub
born and successful fights in behalf OF
other sections of the State, but none
so daring and brilliant as the cam
paign of 1898, when this fair State was
rescued from the hands of her de-
spoilers, and the canvass of 1900, in
favor of the Constitutional Amend
ment; counting it "a privilege to make
a sacrifice of their interests at home
when a cry of distress came from
other sections.
"Since the War Between the States
the Eastern and Central sections have
held without a single exception, the
most exalted positions within the gift

preme Court in the history Of the
State, although today some of the
ablest lawyers that ever lived in the

Considering these facts, and be-
lieVing this unusual condition has been
unintentional, and perhaps unavoid-
able, we desire to urge upon our
Democratic friends all over the State
the wisdom of nominating a mountain
man once more in the history of the
State as the Democratic standard
bearer for Governor; and we call upon
them by all the happy memories Of
our past efforts in their favor to aid
us this year in behalf of q beloved son
of Buncombe county.
Confidently relying upon the pro-
priety and justice of their position
the Democracy of Buncombe county

Of the most distinguished citizens OF
the State, a man who's entire life has
been spent in the mountains of West
ern North Carolina, the Honorable
Theodore +. Davidson, as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, and appeals to the generosi-
~ and fair mindedness of the Demo
Gratis of the East and Centre, who
have never called upon this section in
vain, to aid their mountain brethren
in securing this nomination for one of
its most illuStrious citizens.
Therefore, be it resolved, That Cur
delegation to the State convention be
instructed to act as a unit when vot-
ing for Governor, and that they cast
their vote first, last and all the time,

that heightened and splendid citizen.
