Holy War Declared.

Tsngier, Morocco, Aug. 9.--The holy
war in Morocco has broken out with full
force. Today Tangier was attacked.
From this city to Cape Nun along the
entire western coast the Moors are in
arms determined to drive out every
foreigner. In the interior the agitation
is speaking rapidly. Tribes from the
furthermost corners of Morocco are
sending their fighting men to join the
Moors.
Fresh fighting has occurred at Casa
blanca, Rabat aud Mehediah. Mogador
and Cape Nun are threatened with lm
mediate attack. Foreigners everywh here
are fleeing to vessels in the harbors for
safety. At Cape Jubi, just across the
Moroccan border, Moors attacked and
raided the town after surprising the
garrison. Every man was killed or
captured.
The attack on Tsngier began at day.
light with heavy firing. So far no at
tempt has been made to invade the city.
Thousands of armed MoOIs are gathered
outside the city, and it is feared a
charge may be made at any moment.
Every foreigner in the city who is free
to leave has boarded some ship. Those
who cannot leave have armed themselves
for desperate resistance. The horrible
fate Of foreigners who fell into the hands
of Moors at Cassblsnca has nerved every
one to avoid capture even at the price of
suicide.
Arms and ammunition are being dis
tributed by the consuls to all Europeans.
Men are being hurriedly assigned to the
points of defense.
Against the general uprising there is
a pilisbly small force of soldiers or sail
ors with which to contend. Some of the
towns further south are absolutely with
out defenders, and there are no ships to
take them off, 1t is feared all such hap
less persons will fall victims to the
natives.
A force of 5000 Moorish mounted
men today attempted to rush the town
and were only repulsed after hard fight.
The attack on Cape Jubi was sur
prise. The garrison was easily over
powered and the natives gave themselves
up to the sack OF the town. The COVER
nor made his escape to Lurteventura
Island, directly opposite in small boat.
A new danger has been injected into
the situation by this action; as it is in
ferred the uprising may spread to other
countries.
Only meagre reports have came from
cities to the south. They tell of cities
surrounded by the Moors who are APP
parently waiting some signal for the
attack.
Frightful atrocities were practiced by
the natives who raided the Jewish in
terror of Casablancs. The traces of the
slaughter we're still to be seen when the
French soldiers recovered possession OF
that part Of the city. Stories of the
happenings there have spread broad
cast aud have melted the natives
throughout the country to join the up
rising and plan attacks on other cities
in the hope of loOting them.

PEACE IN ALABAMA.
All is peace with the State of Alabama

All is peace with the State of Alabama
and the Southern Railway.
An agreement was reached at Mcnt-
gomery LIST night by which the revoked
license Of the company will be restored,
in return for which the railroad will re-
spect the recent acts of the legislature
providing for 2 IA cent passenger rates
and published rates on ITO commodities
of general use in the State. The State
having been enioined from enforcing the
laws by order OF the federal court, an Or
der will be made suspendiDg the restraint
to allow the agreement to hold. The
agreement is pending the final adjust
ment Of the cases now pending in the
federal court. The history of the case
is that Senate bill SO provides that any
corporation moving suit from State to
federal court thereby forfeits license
to do business 10 the State. The South
ern removed case July 80, and the
license was at once revoked. The agree
ment restores the status of the corpora
ton in the State. The State secures
much more than any one ever expected.
The result will be marked reduction
in the freight rate of the State. The
railroad took the position that it was best
to compromise and save trouble.
The new passenger rate of of 2t cents
mile went into effect yesterday In North
Carolina. Tickets from points outside
the State are sold at the old rate of st
cents a mile, IS it is claimed that II is
necessary to do this in order not to dis
criminate in favor Of North Carolina and
against other States having higher rate
and upset tariffs. In order to get around
this old rate in buying ticket from
point - the State to points outside, it
is nects to buy tickets to the State
boundard line, and pay fare on the train
for the remaining distance. Passengers
are notified, however, that fares collect
ed on trains are at higher rate. The
new rate does away with second-class
passage. The new rate will force the
railways to discontinue some of their
trains, but strong effort will be made
to induce the railways not to cut of any
trains for the present, until thenew rate
is given thorough test. Gov. Glenn's
counsel for the State maintain that with
the Inauguration of the new rate law the
railways iu the State will not have
enough passenger cars to carry passen-
gers, owing to the heavy increase in
passenger traffic. Gov. Glenn says that
he will call special session of the legis-
lature for the purpose Of giving the rail-
ways relief if they find the new rates to
be burdensome for them.

IN CONNECTION with the announce
ment of his theory that the cultivation
Of taste for candy is the best means OF
guarding against an appetite for alcohol,
DR.. 4. c. Abbott, chief of the Bureau OF
Health, of Philadelphia, does not dis
guise his opinion that American men are
becoming more temperate and that
American women show an increasing
fondness for liquor. The men, he
thinks, are influenced by business con-
dilions, and remarks that with the fall
ing of in their consumption of strong
drink there has been a surprising in
crease in the demand for candy by the
stronger sex. Just why women should
be buying less candy he does not know.
II has for long time been the opinion
of some that a msa or woman having q
"sweet tooth" seldom has an appetite
for strong drink.

ACCORDING to q dispatch from Mill
rift, Pa, rattlesnske bites will cure can
GER. 1t is said that Mrs. Wilhelmins
Ludwig has been a sufferer from cancer,
on her left leg, just above the knee, fol
q long time. The sufferer had given up
all hope, and was resigned to her fate,
which she was confident would end her
Life soon. Two weeks ago while out
picking huckleberries on the hills near
her farm, she was bitten by two rattle
snakes. Her nephew, who accompanied
her, killed the reptiles, male and fe-
male. 1t took three hours to get a
physician. In the meantime the wom-
ans leg had swollen 10 an enormous
size. A remarkable thing about the case
wss that the swelling did not go above
ths spot where the cancer was located.
On the fifth day the snake poison had
worked all through the cancer, the
swelling disappeared and the heretofore
NJ Unlocking cancer began to heal, and
now Mrs. Ludwig regards herself as al
N )st cured.

REV. DIR. MAURICE 2. Fixes, pastor
of the First Baptist Church, in Frank
lin, Pa, wants what he terms "a TWEEN
tieth century church." lie recently said
he would just as soon hear the click of
billiard balls in a church building as the
reading of the Bible, provided it won q
man to the cause of Christianity. DIR.
Fixes further stated
The church that would win men
theee days must be up and doing;
must keep pace with the world. do
not say that the church should give men
and women all of the pastimes and
pleasures that the world does, but it
should offer them as many as possible OF
those things that do not run counter to
Christianity. | know the idea of a
billiard parlOr on church property is
shocking to graybearded deacOns and
trustees, but they must come to it if
they expect the church to continue in
ubefulness among those that needs it in
duence most.
The percentage of male attendants at
churches has been gradually decreasing
for years, the bulk of the congregations
being composed of females. Pastors
have resorted to many means to interest
the masculine gender in spiritual themes.
Features sayoring Of the world are often
introduced, but the decline ia attend
ance continues all the same and Mr.
Fixes billiard psrlor would eventually
fail to attract when other churches in
the competition now in vogue shall
have adopted more drawing cards.

FRIDAY EVENING. AUG. 9, 1907.

Dr.. G, II. IRON, Heslth Officer OF
Louisiana, 10 lecture in New Orleans
recently, said that 80 per cent. of crime
In the world was due to bad cooking;
thai not one in a hundred mothers knew
how to care for a child properly, and
that IS per cent. of infants who died
under five years of age expire from pre-
Ventable diseases. He said that wom-
en- should pass an examination before
marrying. That bad cooking superin-
duces prospensity to commit crime may
be controverted, but that it is the cause
of more or less bad humor is indisput-
able. The art of skillful cooking is
doubtless born in some, and such re-
suire but little apprenticeship, while
Others experience difficulty in acquiring
1t. The preparation Of inviting dishes
requires considerable thought, time and
often labor, and the reason such are
otter presented in an unsavory condition
is probably due to the fact that the cook
10 not disposed to give proper care to his
or her culinary duties. The table should
also be set in a tasteful manner, viands
placed in proper dishes and, if possible,
a bunch of flowers should appear in the
csnire OF the board, as this will add con-
side-ably TO the surroundings. 1t is be-
BeVed by some that bad cooking is pro-
ductive of the whisky. drinking on the
part of the lsboring classes, who become
disguised with their humble bill of fare
when presented in hslfcooked manner.

endow him largely along the line OF
either physical or mental powers, yet
he is industrious and faithful to the
obligations of life as he comprehends
them. He has given mis- children the
best educational advantages within his
power and provides for the home as
his earnings permit. He is never idle
when there is work that he can do.
He is economical and does not squan-

honest, industrious, a kind husband,
a cOnsiderate father and a law abiding
While he does not occupy a

is no type OF citizenship which should
be given a higher rating and none
more largely constitutes the
backbone and worth ofthe nation.-Ex

Sheeldh

The story OF Sheelah," by Maude
itaGford, tells the ramance Of a bonnie
Irish lass who struggled valiantly in
a life Of toll and poverty to carry herself
fair and worthy Of the man she loved.
Her father had been an informer and
she, the aunt ofseveral small children,
acted as their little mother, kept them
scrupulously clean, and zealously
guarded them against |talebearing
tendencies. BY day she worked in a
canning factory in the Chicago stock
yards. But in spite Of this there are
unpleasant stockfyard features to
from its genuine ramanticnote.
The tragic side OF love in poverty and
toll Is pictured, but d~elineated as it
might exist in any factory town.
A loyable lass, indeed, is Sheelach
with her heroism and darling foster
mother love, and her young man is no
less likable. II YOU read the story in
some gloomy day when you consider
that everything is upside down, you
will probably conclude that you have
another guess coming to you.
