There are many ways OF getting out
Of tight corners when one has the In
ventive faculty. 1t appears that this Ia
a gift possessed by Admiral Evans,
whose feet OF warships has just been
the recipient OF so much hospitality
OF the elusive kind at Rio Janefro.
Before Evans left there was an ef-
fort made to have him appointed a
vice admiral, the idea being that IL
was beneath the digaity of the United
States TO have the commander of the
greatest feet OF American warships
ever gathered together occupying q
subordinate position when the ships
stopped at foreign ports and there were
The usual exchange Of courtesies But
The congressional prejudice against I'll
ties forced the fleet TO sail with only
rear admiral in command, so that
whenever Evans is the guest of some
cne-horse-power country he is forced
to allow precedence TO be given to the
various Lord High Admirals and other
well-titled officials Il was not a mat
ter for pride at all
But Evans has found a way out OF
the difficulty. One OF the places where
the fleet was scheduled to stop was Rio
JaneriO, and it is wall-known that Bra
iii has splendid galaxy of admirals,
vice admirals and the like. Indeed
there are about six admira1s to every
ship in the navy. So it looked as il
Evans would have to go far down tha
line in ten matter of precedence. But
as 1t happened Evans did nothing of
the kind. Trust Fighting Bob for
that-he simply did not go at all.
1t will be pleasing to our pride to
know that the commander of our finest
fleet did not have to go behind the
little yellowish-reddish-b -brownish Bra
zillians for he simply kept out and
sent word that he was suffering from
an attack OF rheumatism that pre-
vented his attendance at the various
functions planned In honor of the
fleets coming. Once agin American
diplomacy triumphs and we have prov
ed If we cannot lead we shall not fol-
low. Saved by teh rheumatism.-Au-

Charlotte News Exlutant.

The News is exultant over the pros
poets of state prohibition, and while it
has urged the immediate passage Of a
statutory law believing the vast ma
jority of voters favor such action) it
is by no means discouraged at the
slight upsetting of it's hopes, since, in
the long run, its ambitions on this
matter are to be rewarded with sue
cess. The legislators must realize that

popular cry is, for state prohibit On,

Rebuke to the Clarnorous.

The people of the state, conservative
as they are, will be sure to resent such
sumptuary legislation, and a great
number also now resent the implied
impugnment Of their prohibition senti-
ments by The News and Observer when
it suggests hat those who have not
chimed in as "Me Toos.' would not
be for prohibition rext year. This
paper is as much of prohibition jour-
nal as some Extra-Session-State
hibition-Journals, but it has some op-
inions of it's own, and did not wait to
see how the "cat would jumy' before
announcing it's position. On the other
hand it has the good of the state ana
the democratic party at heart and it is
standing flatfooted upon the local op~
ton principles of the party as enunc-
lated in the Watts law without regard
to the clamor Of the ultra prohibition
lists who are not content with the law
but prefer sumptuary legislation to the
old-time principles. If this is treason
make the most Of it.-Cleveland Star

BARONESS KILLS HUSBAND.

Coionge, May 23.-German society i has been startled by a painful trag- edy at the Rhineland castle of Bud denburg, where the young Baroness Wenda von Ruexlehen shot and killed her husband, and then fatally wound ed herself. for reasons which are still unexplained.
 The couple had been married as re- gently as November. 1907.
 The Baron, who had been visiting a friend in the neighborhood returned home about midnight and entered his
 wife's boudoir, where there was a violent scene between the couple. It ended in the Baroness firing four shots from a Browning pistol at her hus- band. who died in a few minutes. The Baroness then fired two bullets into her own breast. and died two days afterwards. s6sss x
 The Baron and Baroness were very prominent in society the husband be. longing to a well known military fam fly, and the wffeewhose maiden name was Van strombek was of remark able beauty. very tall and fair. Their wedding at. the Emperor William Me morial Church, Berlin. was a brilliant affair. It was attended by several
 members of the court circle, while of hcers of the Prussian Guard formed the brides escort
 Before her marriage, Wanda Won Strombeck had shown signs of an ill., balanced mind. She had declared her intention of marrying only q prince and she had published a book of poems, which were of so ardently erotic character that her parents bought up the whole edition.
 The Baron had expressed the fear that his wife would kin him in one of her frenzies. and shortly before the tragedy had made his will.

HUNGARIAN AGRICULTURE.
The Government Is Revivifxing .Coun
 try Life. .s..s .Y-st

Budapest. May 23,--A great, work is being done by the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture in revivifyins country life. New villages are being formed and others which were threatened with the fate of Goldsmith's sweet Auburn" are being re-peopled.
 Nearly 33, 900 acres of State land has been allocated for sixteen settlements in which 1890 families have been given new homes.
 Under this scheme the peasantry are getting better homes and cheaper land and their existence is made much more healthy and hopeful. The settlers buy the land on the extended payment sys- tenn and pay interest at from two to four. per cent. Careful selection is made among the farmers applying for allotments, and in many eases those who are selected are supplied with free seeds. fruit trees and cattle for breeding purposes. -.. . F The scheme is one. of the many in- stances in which the Hungarian gov -srnment has rendered valuable help to the people for their betterment.
