 Charles Wilson Peale, of the remark able fsmily of artists by that name, was born .n Chesterton, Md, in 1741. He had a curiosuly interesting career as a Jack of-all-trades. He began life as a saddler in Annapolis. Upon a visit to Norfolk he happened to see a portrait He went home and painted one of himself, thus beginning his work as an artist He went to Boston and afterward to London, studying under John Eingleton Copeley and Benjamin West Not content with painting portraits, he tried modelling in wax casting and holding in plaster en- graving and miniature painting. Return ing to America he established a studio at Annapolis, but soon entered the Amer lean army as captain of volunteers, and saw fighting at Germantown and Trenton. Afterward he came into pos session of the skeleton of a mammoth exhumed in Ulster county. New York, and became a naturalists.
 He formed Peale's museum and ex- hibited natural euriosities and Peales paintings under one roof He also be- came dentist harnessmalSer, a coach- builder, matchmaker, a taxidermist, politician and an author. His lectures on how 10 build wooden bridges, on natural history and domestic happiness, as well as An Eptstle s1pon Preserving the Heal are still to be found in libraries. So versatile was Peale that he sawed the ivory for his miniatures nodded the glass and made the shagroon cases. He was accorded fourteen sittings by George Washington. His portraits painted when Washington was a Virginia colonel, while ne was in the Revolution, and after he became President. are still in existence. Many of them have been engraved.

BANKERS MAKE REPORT

Chicago, May 26.-(special)-Th Jour nal of Finance yesterday canvassed the leading bankers of the cotton growing states by telegraph in regard to the con htion of the cotton crop. The replies that It received indicate that the cold, back ward spring has caused the outlook for cotton to be worse now than for the cor responding time any year within the re membrance of the present generation of planters. In the western part of the cotton belt the crop now promises little more than half of the yield of last year, while in the eastern part the outlook is Rt least 15 per cent less favorable than last year. The south last year raised lO,765,000 bales of cotton. The crop this year, unless there is a very decided im- provement from now on, will probably not be more than 6N00O0 bales. Condi-

Carey Makes Address.

Huntsville. May 26-(special.)-D c. A. Carey, state veterinarian, addressed the farmers of Madison county yesterday aft ernoon on the cattle quarantine. He said the work of exterminatlng the cattle tick must be done this year, or not at all, as the federal appropriation for the work must be expended this year. Many people have been under the impression that the requirements of the law would work n hardship on the farmers just at this time, and petition bearing hundreds of names has been sent to headquarters, asking the postponement of the work. Dr. Carey promised that there will be no oppression in the enforcement of the quarantine reg ulations, and that the inspectors will do all in their power to assist the farmers in complying with the law. It is not likely that any further action looking to a post ponement will be taken.

The former painted miniatures of James Monroe. Andrew Jackson Col.

lions are probably worse than in 1895, when 7,157,OOO bales were raised, than in 1892, when the production was 6.7i7,000 bales, or than in 1886, when only 6513,000 bales were raised. It is to be remem- bered, however. that few plants show bet ter recuperative powers than the cotton plant under improving conditions. If the clouds which now overhang the southern skies will give way to good warm sun shine from now on, great Improvement would be possible in the condition of cot tion. The big damage so far has been due almost entirely to the cold, damp weather which has made the plant look grassy and choked 1t with weeds In Texas and Louisiana boil weeyils are present in enormous numbers and will do much damage to the crop of those two states as soon as the plant has developed sufficiently to afford good diet for the insect

We, the undersigned, respectfully
ask that pardon be granted to Man
uel Mitchell, who was convicted OF
manslaughter at the January term,
1907, of the circuit court of Washing
ton county Mississippi, and SEN
tenced to serve two years in the pen
itentiary
We ask that pardon be granted
to Manuel Mitchell, because there is
grave doubt as to his guilt, he hav-
ing accidentally killed a little boy.
while resisting an assault which was
being made upon him by dangerous
and desperate negro.
In addition to this, Manuel Nit
chell remained in the county jail six
months before his tri2l, being too
poor to make bond, and has now
served about six months in the pen.
Tertiary. and we feel that even if
technically guilty, he has been suf-
6ciently punished.
