Recent CARPET Bagtsn,

The scene Is laid upon place six
miles south OF Lexington owned by
Stephen Craig, cOlored. About two
weeks ago Stephen and two grown
sons were at work in a blacksmith
shop when white stranger, riding a
bicycle, came to the door. He intro
duced himself as w. Anderson. and
made himself agreeable, calling each
of the negroes Mister" and stated
his occupation to be that of travel
| ing salesman, selling a bag containing
such ingredients that when placed
over any part of the human frame
that might be suffering from mise
ry, marvellous and instantaneous
cure would be ut once effected, all
for 10 cents. When he had con.
cluded sale, he began to tell Of
wonderful powers he possessed as
medium; exhibited two badges show
ing his connection with the United
States government; and then began
to unfold tale of hidden treasure,
the riches taking the form of a pot
buried beneath the ground. He pro-
posed to go into trance, locate and
secure the money which would amount
to $4,000, and two gold watches:
he proposed to Stephen to share with
with him. Stephen demurred for a
long time, but when the smooth
speaking gentleman 90 insisted that
he had been sent thither by Uncle
Sam and offered to put up Govern
ment bond as security, Stephen weak
ened and put up $50 to cover ex-
penses," and this contract was form
ally entered into:

HEART GATHERING.

F. A. HOWELL, Adit.
Middletown transcript., 1905-04-08

The Presidents decision in the Santo
DOMINICAN situation by which this gov
ernment will administer the finances of
that country pending the ratification Of
the treaty by the Senate next Fall is re-
garded with great satisfaction by practi-
cally every one except those Senators
who either represent some opposed priv
ate interest or whose policy is simply one
of opposition. Circumstances have made
it clear that we are the one power to
which Santo Domingo was entitled TO
look for assistance and that in the world
wide interests of peace and good order it
was our duty to assume the responsibility
OF administering her debts and providing
for the payment of her creditors in
reasonable time Moreover in our own
interest it was advisable hat we should
do anything possible to prevent the
seizure of the Island by foreign power
with the accompanying likelihood that
we should in time be compelled to dis
establish the European Naval base in
West Indian waters that would be the
gradual development. In the interest of
the Republic itself and the small govern
ments of the South American states tile
example is good and is likely to lead to a
better and wiser administration by those
governments OF their finances.

you told me about Cranleigh."
"Cranleigh Moss" he began, in the
voice of guide, "is picturesque village
on the edge of Scawe Forest. There are
vicar and squire, and it grows acorns
for pigs and straw wherries for Covent Gar

the squire is Sir Nathaniel Copeland and
we GO to church once week and sleep
once day, and those OF us who can, get
out of it as much as possible p
'You, should think. sir, are one of
those ?"
He inclined his head.
"And Sir Nathaniel Copeland danother?"
she asked, with her gaze on the fire.
He laughed
'Sir Nathaniel Copeand's travelling
days are over. He is almost ninety, and
lives in bath chair"
ut sounds very interesting" she said,
still with averted eyes. "Who pushes
the bath chair?''
Then she suddenly got up, putting her
hands through her hair. 1t was evident
that she could be very restless as well
as very dignifed person.
Don't you think, sir, that they are
very long in coming ?"
He looked at his watch and smiled.

RIDER HAGGARD COMING TO AMERICA

Rider Haggard, author of '"The Breth-
rem" Net Clre- Phillips has been very ac-
tive in the interests of the poor in Eng
land, especially on the question OF the
overcrowding of the cities, and the relief
that can be afforded to the tenement
dwellers through emigration to the coun-
try. He has been laboring for the deyel-
opment of the agricultural side of Eng
lish life, and this method of relieving
congested city districts is one part of his
scheme. He has interested the English
government in his plans and has obtained
notable recognition. An appointment
as commissioner Of the British govern
ment has been given him, and he is being
sent to the United States to investigate
the condition of the poor here, and to
look into the methods of relief work as
carried OH by the Salvation Army and
similar charitable organizations. Though
MIR. Haggard is known to most readers as
the author of stirring romances there IS
serious side to his literary labors, repre-
sented by two fat volumes, known to all
farming England, "Rural England and
"The Farmers Year"

Myra Kelly---Reader

Miss Myra Kelly, author Of Little
Citizens" McClure-P Philips, the volume
of amusing stories about little school
children of the New York East Side
which have proved so successful, is quite
a. mncl a reader as a writer-something
unusual in these davs, when the art of
reading. even in the simplest fashion,
seems practically in eclipse. In fact,
Miss Kelly was a reader before becoming
writer and it was only because urged
by her friends who had heard her Tread"
her amusing experiences as school
teacher, hat she committed them to
print. Miss Kelly is now in great de-
nand a. an entertainer, and has been
giving readings all over the East, and as
far west as Cleveland, Chiefly for chari-
table purposes.

Middletown transcript., 1905-04-08

The suggestion that President Roose-
welt will be compelled by the people to
with draw his statement that he would
not be candidate for the next election
and that he will be elected for third
term grows as the days pass. Some Of
the most influential newspapers have
already taken up the argument and many
public men are firmly convinced that the
voters of the country are not going to
allow Theodore Roosevelt to retire from
the White House at the end of this term.
His friends are saying that of the two
obligations to stand by the statement he
made just after his election or to accede
to the wishes of the people and accept
nomination that came unsought and was
the expression of the strongest desire of
the voters, his duty would certainly lie on
the side of tile latter. Should this be the
situation which confronts the President
at the next convention and unless there
shall be great changes in the sentiment
of the people it will be, there is general
conviction that he could not con-
scientiously regard his statement as
binding and that he might be persuaded
to regard it as his duty to accept the i'm
perious call.

lnueman q cos Market letter

There was lack of support of values
today. Liverpool was closed and local bull
leaders had eyes on but hanGs off all the
missionary work falling to the lot OF
the ex-bear leader at New York, and
while there was no little amount of bull
ish literature distributed by means of the
press and by private and Public wires
there was a notable absence OF buying or
ders a majority of the days business rep
resenting sales to realize. Preliminary
trading was done at shade higher than
Yesterdays closing level, rather good
opening considering Secretary Wilson's de-
NAL to the effect that no change would be
made in the bureaus figures of June on
condition of the crop and acreage, which
rumor was partly responsible for the
sharp advance yesterday AFTERNOON. The
disposition of traders, however was to
realize rather than to enter into addi-
tional commitments, and the pressure that
was brought to bear on the market from
this cause was reflected In a decline of
about is points from the highest Of the
day. July selling off to 1882 after having
sold high as s.99 finally closing at 800
The high temperature In Texas, maximum
for the Galveston district averaging &c.
two stations recording 100 degrees, while
Ballinger registered 101, and the local
firm spot market were the only features
that stayed the hand of shorts In forcing
the market to lower level.

Ware q Leland's Market Letter.

For the first time in over a year gem
eral attention of The public mas been
attracted to the possibilitier of cotton.
Prices have advanced In rather precipi-
tous manner, so rapidly in fact that even
the best friends Of cotton have
been inclined to urge the utmost
caution in making purchases at so
high an altitude. All this happened In less
than ten days, and from 7.9i only short
time since, october sold this morning at
Sol.
The most urgent buying on the way up
was for the account OF the large oper-
ators who sold In the effect to break the
market to 8. Taking advantage of the
strength OF the cotton positions, these
same operators after covering cotton at
an advance of NC, have turn d on the
bull side and are now talking of whirl-
wind advance.
As far as the position of the market is
concerned II Is now as technically weak as
II was strong at ten days ago.
This does not mean that speculative OPP
erations In the effort to force prices above
9 may not be successful, but the sltua-
ton at the present time Is one which op-
orators in cotton need TO exert extraordi-
nary caution, and not be Influenced by
news circulated for manipuiative pur-
poses.

At first continued bull support was a
factor, and the market advanced slightly,
showing at one time a net gain OF to 9
noints on the active months, following
which there was more general selling
