undercurrents OF the pickering and
dissension which exist to soma degree
within the military forces of the State
cropped to the surface last night dur
ing the hearing of the Cox bills before
the House Committee on Militia and
Police. A large turnout of military
men listened to the argument. which
was carried on in the courtroom of the
State Corporation Commission.
But little was said as to the merits
and demerits of the bills themselves.

is now practically assured that Robert
Turnbull. of Brunswick county. has
been elected at the priiparf held in the
Fourth Congressional Districs Tues

1t is possible but very far from

Mr.. Watkins put up a brave fight, and
1t was not until late yesterday that

election. Mr.. Cooke ran far behind

the early returns showed that he was
hopelessly defeated.

ORDERS ACADEMY
ORCHESTRA T0.QU|T
Theatre Strike Will Extend Ovel
Wells Circuit Unless Bijou
Capitulatcs.
"cHARLoTTE TEMPLE ECHO
American Federation OF Music
Takes Up Battle for Local
Union.

Orders were issued yesterday morn
ing to the Academy OF Music orchestra
by j. N. Weber, president of the Amer
ican Federation OF Music not 20 play
again In that theatre until the Bijou
management has satisfactorily adjust
ed the strike situation which has eX-
listed In the Broad Street playhouse
for more than month.
1t was stated last night that Pres
ident Weber's orders Will be obeyed.
In an official communication he noti-
fed the local union that the former
Bijou orchestra had just grievance
against Manager Mckee, and unless
the latter came to terms every theatre
orchestra In every city included in the
Wells circuit will be ordered out.
Wouldn't Strike ON Savage.
Incidentally 1t was brought out that
the Academy musicians would have
| been instructed to vacate last week
before the engagement of "The Merry
| Widow except for the fact -that the
| relations between Henry w. Savage
and the unions have been most cordial.
| for which reason there was no desire
to cripple or harass one of Mr.. Saw
ages road productions. There is an at
| traction at the Academy tonight, but
the strike will not interfere with 1t. as
| It is to be given without orchestra
| assistance.
Members of the union explained that
the trouble can be easily adjusted If
4 Manager Mckee, of the Bijou, will pay
his old orchestra for one week and
| reinstate the entire outfit. The strike
of the musicians grew out of the fact
that they were given pay for one night
only during the week that Charlotte
Temple,"Ea Bijou production. was can
celled by direction of Mayor Richard
son. The orchestra contended that In
asmuch as 1t was employed for the sea-
son at a weekly scale. 1t should have
been paid for the week OF enforced
ldleness when 1t was prepared to play
had the production, in amended form
been permitted to continue.
Women Now Employed.
Since the strike was called wo
mans orchestra has been engaged a
the Bijou. 1t is not known what Man
ager Mckee will do, but the fact wa
4 not denied that the strike had EXTENDED

\ Wells management. II was also ad
mitted that it would extend from lIor

The local union notified the Colonia

J but the music there did not stop.

Paris. January 27.--At o'clock this
morning the water was rising rapidly,
and had reached to within few inches
.of the parapet OF the quay at the
Louvre. The flood threatened mo-
mentarily TO inundate the sculpture
gallery. where are kept the Venus OF
Milo and other priceless art treasures.
The danger to the Louvre is in
creased by the presence at this point
OF a big sewer. which. it Is feared.
will burst. A gang OF masons was
hurrtedly assembled, and are working
under high pressure in the glare OF
flarfng gas lamps building up con-
crete wall to keep out the water.
Tho subway station at Bercy col-
lapsed with terrific roar early this
morning. nearly carrying to ruin a
nearby police station. In which num-
ber of flood sufferers had sought
refuge.
The yellow waters broke through
the chasm and swept all before it.
Forty houses In the vicinity had to
be evacuated. store-keepers therein
abandoning everything. AS the gas
mains burst when the station collapsed
darkness added to the terror OF the
people.
Late dispatches from the provinces
bring ray of hope. These indicate
that the situation there has improved,
and that the floods have at length
reached their crest. The affluents OF
the Seine are even beginning to show
a tendency to drop. The Rhone and
saone Rivers. however. are still rising.
Reports of villages submerged and
people absolutely without food ara
reaching Paris constantly. st. Lau-
rent is flooded and the people are
without drinking water.
At Conhans-Su Marne score OF
houses have fallen in and many people
are homeless At Sevres, the famous
government porcelain factory Is CONS
pletely surrounded by the flood.
The water has reached the top OF
the Presidential Tribune at the Long
| Champs race-course. Six square miles
of Bois de Boulogne are submerged.
Because of the danger to those within.
Foreign Minister Pinchon ordered tho
evacuation of the wing of the office
building which borders on the flooded
Rue dc Constantlon. The water in-s
vaded the post-of1ice building and
forced the employees to flee. Special
meetings of the Cabinet were held to-
day to consider means OF coping with
i the havoc already wrought and the
great danger still impending. Military
forces have been summoned from all
parts of the country. aud the city has
been divided into five divisions for
the purpose Of administering the work
of rescue and relief.

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth Of Central Canada. tThe
statement was made not long since by
a railroad man who claimed to haye
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There Is not AZ
district Of q fair amount OF settle
ment in any OF the three Provinces OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
but has its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small.
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub.
lie funds and the expense of tuition is
but a nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now IN, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers Of
that country is about 1876 million dol.
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State In
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that ONE to the farmers on
Central Canada is seen In the sum
that has. been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people OF
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends In the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it?"
With crops yielding them a profit Of
$40 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres. the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff.
ferent points In the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
Of those who are now visiting friends
In the different states, and they all ex.
press themselves as well satisfied,
and promise to take some Of their
friends back with them. There Is still
a lot Of free homestead land in splen-
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies.

I frequently have patients who are

and in some cases the cures have
seemed miraculous, and had l not seen
them both before and after. would
scarcely have believed them true. One
lady told me that she had spent over
800 in various remedies. and was
cured with n soc jar Of Resinol. It
ls truly a wonderful cure for eczema
