FREDDIE FUNSTON GETS HIS REWARD President Includes Him In Promotion List. KANSAN BRIGADIER GENERAL Among Officers Advanced Are Many Southerners—All Are In Regular Army. i The following important army ap pointments were announced at the white house Saturday night: To be major general United Statea army: Brigadier General Lloyd TVheaton, rice Miles promoted lieutenant gen eral. To be brigadier generals in the regu lar army: Colonel Jacob H. Smith, Seven teenth United States infantry, briga lier general volunteers, vice Dagett, retired. Brigadier general, Frederick Fun ston, United States volunteers, vice Wheaton, promoted. The announcement of these appoint ments was made after a conference between the president, Secretary Boot and Adjutant General Corbin, and at the same time the long expected list of appointments of majors and cap tains in the quartermaster’s and com missary departments and chaplains was made known. All of these appointments are in the regular army, tinder the recent act of congress enlarging and reorganizing the army and without exception the staff appointees are from volunteer officers. The chief interest, however, center ed in the three high appointments of a major general and two brigadiers, and more particularly in the selection of General Funston after his gallani exploit in capturing Aguinaldo. Following the announcement Gen eral Corbin sent the following to Gen eral Mac Arthur: “Washington, March 30. —Mac- Arthur, Manila.—The following ap pointments made: Wheaton, major general. Smith and Funston, briga diers general. Secretary of war joins me in congratulations to all. * Cobbin. ” AmoDg the other appointments were the following: To be captains and assistant quar termasters: W. M. Coulling, Virginia; W. B. Barker, Mississippi; A. W. Butt, Geor gia; H. L. PettUß, Alabama; L. F. Garrard, Jr., Georgia; K. J. Hampton, Kentucky; B. Frank Cheatham, Ten nessee; Frederick W. Cole, Florida; Charles T. Baker, South Carolina. To be captain and assistant commis sary of subsistence: H. G. Cole, Georgia; T. B. Hacker, Tennessee. To be chaplains: John M. Moose, Mississippi; Charles T. Wright, Georgia; A. A. Pruden, North Carolina. The promotion of General Funston show.: that President McKinley has not been influenced by the disposition on the part of what is known as the regular army combine to discount the importance of Funston’s sensational achievement. The fact that a volunteer officer, without the assistance of the regular army, has been able to locate and make a captive of this notorious Fili pino is not relished by the regulars. Funston is Dot popular with the regu lar army combine, which was demon strated by the stubborn opposition to every effort that had beeu made to promote him. Ho was urged for pro motion to the rank of brigadier gen eral, but he was without sufficient mil itary or political influence to obtain the recognition which many persons claim he was entitled to. Orders Four New Ships. The North German Lloyd Steam ship Company has ordered the con struction of four lavge steamers at Bremen, Germany. Glass Works Close Hay ist. The Indiana glass manutactnrers notified all their plants in the United Spates to close May Ist until late in the fall. This is two weeks earlier &an Esaal. ENLISTMENTS MAY 3TOP. Owing to Aguinaldo’s Capture Big Army Is Not Now Needed. Asa result of the capture of Agui- Tialdo and the belief among Washing ton officials that a speedy and com plete collapse of the insurrection in ihe Philippines will follow, the full strength of the army authorized by the recent army reorganization act -mzj not be enlisted. The question is being canvassed by the president and the authorities. If conditions turn out as the officials here now believe they will there will be no necessity for recruiting an army of 100,000 men. PROnOTION FOR FUNSTON. No Doubt Exists That President W Reward Brave Kansan. A Washington dispatch says: T view of General MacArthnr’s specili recommendation, indorsed by Genera Wheaton, that General Funston wi be appointed a brigadier general in tb> regular army, there seems to be n* doubt in well informed quarters th the president will comply promptly with these recommendatioas. ASSASSIN’S BAD AIM. Bullet Intended For Czar Went Amiss—Count Tolstoi Ban nished From Russia. A dispatch to The London Morning Leader from Ivieff, Russia, says that au officer of the household ineu iu assassinate the czar. He tired at his majesty, but missed, and then shot and killed himself. TOLSTOI BANISHED. It was rumored in St. Petersburg several days ago, but generallv dis believed, that Count Leo Tolstoi had been banished from Russia because of the attempted assas sination oi Privy Councillor Po biedonostzeff, chief procurator of the Holy Synod, who was shot at early iu the morning of March 22d, while sit ting iu his study, the attempt being at tributed to a desire for revenge, grow ing out of the excommunication of Count Tolstoi. Owing to the indefiuiteness of the rumor, it was disregarded by the cor respondent of the Associated Press at St. Pelersburg. Now, however, the correspondent has received a private letter from a usually trustworthy sonrce in \ ilua, capital of the govern ment of that name, saying that Count Tolstoi was reported to have passed through Vi In a March 26th, being es corted to the frontier by two gen darmes. The trial of Peter Karpovitch, the assassin of M. Bologiepoff, thß Rus sian minister of public instruction, who has been sentenced to twenty years’ penal servitude with a loss of civil rights, was strictly secret. Ad mittance was only by card. STUDENTS LOYAL TO TOLSTOI. “A thousand students of the Uni versity of Kieff have forwarded a pe tition to the holy synod,” says the Odessa correspondent of The London Daiiy Express, “in which they ask to be excommunicated with Count Tolstoi.” SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

The London Saturday Review says: “The news of the capture of Agui naldo may be welcome, as meaning the end of a war which is still wasting life and ruining prosperity in the Philip pines; but for Aguinaldo himself, whoe capture was effected by a gross act of trea hery there must be general sympathy. “He gave the Americans invaluable assistance in the eapture of Manila, aud iu the previous maneuvers.” SURRENDERING IN DROVES Rebellious Filipinos Continue te u.v Up to the Americans. A Manila special says: Thirty men of General Cable's command hare sur rendered. Of this number five were officers, including Colonels Herrera and Reloya.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVTLLE, GA. !U§ TALKS + *?• Advli*o Upon Monry Matter#. Always keep a supply of change on hand —half-dollars, quarters, dimes and nickels. This will obviate keep ing people waiting for change and wasting your time or the time of others waltin" till change be made. It will also help you to save many cents in the course of a week, especial ly if everything that comes to your home is paid for in cash. Many house wives object to this method of keep ing change handy, because as soon as a bill is “broken” it goes without their knowing hovr or where. This is racier the fault of mismanagement than the consequence of keeping change. If money passes through other hands than your own before It is finally paid it is time and trouble saved to have the exact change to hand out. —American Queen. Summer Sus'-estions. Tucks will be übiquitous. Undersloeves will hold their own. Plaids, as a rule, are things to shun. Heavy stitekings in many instances look like tucks at a short distance. Jabots will help out shirtwaists with more or less open jabots. Shaped taffeta strappings will finish scalloped edges. Battlements will be a feature of sartorial architecture. Bodices buttoned or hooked up the back are gaining favor. Breadth of the shoulders is being more accented. Nun’s veiling, cashmere, foulard aud crepe are talked of for occasions upon which wash dresses would be too light. Elbow puffs may make a sylph out of one girl, and a balloon of another. Pompadour silk is nearly always a lovely evening dress. A cording of black will set off many a dashing dress of light foulard. — Philadelphia Record. Well-bromjlit-up I’rincflWfK. The Queen of England, so long and lovingly known as the Princess of Wales, or the “princess,” has been very particular in bringing up her daughters, so as to secure for them good physical health. She made the most of the time spent by the royal household in the highlands of Scot land. Here the young princesses were kept out of doors as much as possible, enjoying the fresh air in fair weather or in cloudy. A great part of the day was spent by them in loose-fitting dresses, with unstiffened bodices, adapted for hill climbing. The princesses dressed for dinner in conventional evening dress, worn over the whaleboned corselet which some women wear day in and day out, but these evening hours of tight-fitting clothing came at the end of a day spent in loose garments, which did not impede the breathing or the cir culation. This sensible regime of educating daughters with as much chance of fresh air exercise as would be given boys was insisted upon by Alexandria, now Queen of England. A Novel Tea Gown. A becoming tea gown, in which one can lounge in luxurious armchairs after a day’s snort or touring, is a most desirable addition to the ward robe, and an extremely pretty gown suitable for this "purpose is made of soft broche silk in pale turquoise blue and biscuit color, and it is mounted on a lining of soft china silk or nun’s veiling, which fits into the figure at the back, but has no darts in front, so the fullness is caught together by a lace belt. The yoke, which is trans parent and extends over the shoulders. Is of biscuit colored tucked chiffon, with bands of ecru guipure lace insertion in between, and the collar and bands on the sleeves are of lace insertion, with frills of soft lace edging of the same becoming tint gathered into them. From the bottom of the yoke all around the shoulders hangs a frill of lace, and this is not carried quite to the centre of the front, but the ends are gathered and arranged in waterfall frills, which taper off and end about 10 inches below the waist. If desired, the yoke could be lined with pale blue china silk to make it a little firmer, or a lining of cream or flesh colored silk might be used, if the contrast with the rest of the gown were desired without the transparency. The sleeves have close fitting iinings of thin silk or nun’s veiling to hold the full puff in position. Hint* on Mourning down*. Mourning costuunes of today are less exacting than formerly. The time was when a widow who wore a touch of white within a year of her adoption of black would have been regarded as unfit for social recognition. Now- it is not unusual to see a touch of white chiffon at the throat, even in the earliest days of widowhood, and some times a whole vest of white chiffon is worn before the close of the first year. The materials chosen for mourning are more varied than has been cus tomery heretofore. Rough and smooth serges, vicunas, cashmeres, henriettas, crepons and nun’s veilings all are correct and durable, and can be made available for general use after the period of conventional mourning is ended. The princess is a favorite mode of making gowns of this character for women of svelte and youthful figure, while the recently revived postilion basque is occasionally seen on women of more portly type. Dull finished ribbons are worn as sashes, and give a touch of the mourn ing aspect to any black gown. A ros ette with long ends attached to the corsage on the left, near the shoulder, is a pretty addition to an otherwise simple costume. A handsome gown made recently for a mourning wardrobe was cut with the new princess skirt reaching to the bust line, and had a blouse of dull black taffeta. The coat was a bolero with stitched edges, and the fronts were elongated to permit of their being drawn through a jet buckle and hang ing like sash ends nearly to the hem of the skirt. Another costume was of zibeline, with the princess skirt, black crepe de chine pleated blouse and a bolero of Persian lamb. The toque was of black chiffon, with large rosettes. A black fex boa and muff were the furs ordered, and neck ruchings of black silk edged with chenille were included. While black fox is regarded as espe cially appropriate to deep mourning, broadtail and caracul also are used. When the mourning period has reached a term that admits of the ac ceptance of informal invitations for evening, black net is peculiarly fitting, and may be accompanied by either chiffon or ribbon for sash and cor sage bows. Made high over a low lin ing, with unlined sleeves, the effect is quietly elegant. Mr*. McKinley’s Carden. It must be pleasant to be a lady of the White House as spring approaches, for she can look forward to the en joyment of one of the earliest and most beautiful gardens in the country. Mrs. McKinley’s posy beds will then take on delicate hues of green and rose mauve and misty yellow; then the colors will deepen and the beds be jewelled with wide-opened blos soms, and by the middle of April the White House gardens will be brilliant and full of color as a Diaz picture. This effect is brought about by sys tem and order and foresight. In Oc tober the hyacinths, tulips, crocuses and narcissus bulbs are placed in the ground. Forget-me-nots, pansies, field daises and many other plants are “set out.” These remain in the beds all winter, and flower from the middle of March to the middle of May. Late in April the summer planting com mences, and continues until the close of May, by which time the cannas and geraniums and endless other va rieties of newcomers are installed in their summer home. During the fall planting at the White House there are placed in the ground more than 56,000 bulbs and fully 5000 plants, whereas In the spring 35,000 plants, embracing, 150 varieties, are set out. Surrounding the executive mansion are 55 flower beds of various sizes, and aggregat ing in area several acres. All of the beds must be shielded in winter by elaborate blanketings of protective ma terial, and in the case of many of the beds precaution must always be taken lest they be washed out by the heavy; rainfall. It takes care and caution to make a president’s garden. The work of peopling the half a hundred flower beds with their richly arrayed inhabitants is of itself a gi gantic task. All of the plants come from the great White House conserva tories, and at planting-time a dozen men are busy for a month or more setting them out. There are placed in the ground each year more than 6000 tulips, embracing not less than half a hundred species, 2500 pansy plants, 2000 field daises, from 6000 to 8000 geraniums and other flowers in proportion. As an example of the in tricate planting introduced it may be stated that there are on the grounds two fancy flower beds, neither of them very large, in each of which there are more than 5000 small plants. No wonder Mrs. McKinley has a lovely view from her window.—New York Commercial Advertiser. ffo R Vof'/Tf Hats still perch at a dizzy angle. Blouses are to be prime favorites. Short boleros top off the princess dress. In striped materials the sleeves are often made crosswise. Skirt flounces are often tucked down a part of their depth. Elbow sleeves are bits of beauty which will be retained. Velvet ribbon put on in strap effect ♦ ornaments some gala gowns. Chambray will figure for shirtwaist suits. So will zephyr ginghams. Agutlettes now tag strappings as well as the ends of ribbon bows. Some fabrics seem built for the sole purpose of running ribbons through. Fancy lace yokes often have an ef fective elongation in vest effect at the front. Clusters of tucks, three say, add much to the effectiveness of many a blouse, especially if they go ’round and ’round. Whether the undersleeve is a mera puff at the wrist or shows all the way to the elbow is a mere matter of preference. One of the simplest yet most effec tive trimmings is a row of narrow striped silk set in with tucks or braid. The stripes go crosswise. TIHg A Delieinu* Salad. A delicious salad may be made of the turkey meat. Cut the meat into dice and mix with It an equal quantity of celery. Season with salt, paprika, on ion juice and capers, and serve on let tuce loaves with a mayonnaise dress ing, to which some whipped cream has been added. Both white and dark meat may be used, and if the supply is small very tender veal will not detract from the flavor. A Compote of (]ulih ph. For a compote of quinces peel, quar ter and core six that are ripe and sound and boil them in water enough to keep them from burning until they arc tender. Remove the pieces of fruit and make a syrup of one-half cupful of water and one-half cupful of sugar. Then add the fruit and boil for five minutes. Remove the quinces to a glass dish, and boil the syrup until it is thick. When it is cool pour it over the quinces. Fricamioe of Lamb. A delicious fricassee of lamb may be made by cutting the neck and shoul der into small pieces, dredging it with flour which has been seasoned with salt and pepper, and sauteing it in but ter until it is brown. The next step is to add to it hot water to more than cover it, and cook slowly until the meat falls from the bones. Remove the bones, return the moat to the stew pan, add a slice of onion, a small to mato and cook for half an hour. Re move the onion, put the meat in the centre of the platter and arrange dumplings around it. Serve the sauce, of which there should bo plenty, in a gravy boat, separately. Spring Chicken with Oyitern. Singe and draw a small, tender chicken of about two pounds; wipe it, inside and out, with a wet towel; cut the neck close to the breast, leave the skin over the breast long to envelop the breast; cut the legs close to the body, and cut them in two; cut the body in six pieces. Leave the breast and wings in one piece. Put one and a half tablespoons of butter in an earth en cocotte, put it on the chafing dish; stand directly over the flame. When the butter has melted put in first all the dark meat and the carcass; six minutes after put In the breast. Sea son with one level teaspoon of salt, one level saltspoon of pepper; cook 20 min utes uncovered, not too fast, and tak ing care to turn and baste each piece, so that every one shall become of a golden brown. Meanwhile prepare one quart of oysters, drain off the liquor, put them in boiling water one minute; dry them well with a towel, remove the tendons, trim, and after the chick en has cooked 20 minutes add them to it. Make room in the cocotte, so that the oysters will go to the bottom; cook three minutes after putting in the oys ters. With the fork arrange nicely all the pieces, putting the breast on the top with some of the nicest oysters over it. Serve from the cocotte. If not at hand, the chafiing msh could be used instead, allowing four minutes less for the cooking.—Harper’s Bazar. Ifoiittehohi Flint#. Tomato soup is improved by a few slices of oranges just before serving. A thick felt under the table cloth avoids noise and saves wear on the cloth. Onions are particularly healthful, and should be indulged in more fre quently than they are. To make tough meats tender put a spoonful of vinegar into the water in which they are boiling. To remove grease spots from silk moisten the spots with chloroform and rub with a cloth till dry. Excellent dishcloths may be made from old white Holland curtains after the stiffening has been boiled out. Newspapers moistened and torn into bits and strewn over a matting cov ered floor will aid greatly in the sweep ing. Soiled w’hite fur can be cleaned by rubbing it in successive changes of flour and then haDging it for a time in the open air. Black silk and black satin are great ly improved by wiping them with spir its of wine diluted with a little water, and wipe it on the right side. In a room flooded with sunshine it is wisest to use wall paper in which green predominates. With so much light repose and toning are needed. A small novelty in table furnishing is the cold meat platter, which is per fectly flat like a bureau tray, but with a similar but slighter upright rim. Currant jelly and turnips are the natural accompaniments of mutton. A pretty way to serve the turcips is to cut them in two after they are cooked, scoop them into cup shape.? and fill with green peas. If the point or end of the breast bone next the vent of any fowl, game bird, etc., bends easily to pressure, you can safely say the bird is young. If the bird be broken or doctored, then nip the flesh across butt of wings or neck, between finger and ‘humb, when the fingers will sink into the flesh of the bird if it is young. Familiar Examples. “Mention some familiar examples of successive layers.” “Yes, sir. Hens and jelly cakes, sir.’* —Cleveland Plain Dealer. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. A German scientist recently declare# that the age of fishes can be told by their scales. When placed under the microscope these show stripes similar to the. bands in the cross section of a tree, which indicate the age of the fish. The communal council of Amster dam, Holland, has voted $2,000,000 for the construction of an electrical power plant, to include a central power sta tion, 30 miles of tramway, the electric lighting of the city and a supply of motive power. The power will be con veyed in an underground conduit. From the following analysis it would appear that there is even less waste in a cord of pitch pine wood than in the carcass of a steer under the modern way of handling it. Under proper manipulation a cord of this wood will produce of charcoal, 50 bushels; illu minating gas, about 1000 cubic feet; illuminating oil and tar, 50 gallons; pitch or rosin, 11-2 barrels; pyroligne ous acid, 100 gallons; spirits of tur pentine, 20 gallons; tar, one barrel; wood spirits, five gallons; and, so far as the charcoal is concerned, when con sumed it scarcely leaves an ash. The advantage of the use of nickel steel In the construction of instru ments of precision was the subject of a paper read before the recent Paris congress of the International Geodetic association. It was stated that a cer tain alloy, with 35 to 36 percent nickel, possessed an expansion 10 times less than platinum and 20 times less tha* that of brass. This property renders it especially serviceable for measuring rods. A description was given of a “base bar” of this metal, four metres In length, which is being constructed for the geographic service of the French army. Including its alumi num case, it will weigh 110 pounds. A great family of flowering animals is that including the “sea cucumbers.” These animals have long, flattened bodies of a dark color that ranges from brown to reddish purple, and their most active movement is a slow, creep ing along the bottom. At one end is the mouth surrounded by the petal like tentacles that push into it t.h® mud and sand on which the organism lives. The mud of the bottom is filled with tiny beings that really furnish the food, but it appears to subsist on the inorganic mud itself. The most curi ous thing about the “cucumber” is that it takes ledgers in a way. It has a large cavity within its body that is filled with water, and into this cavity a little fish called the flerasfer works its way, and then lives within the help less host. It is not a parasite, for it leaves its lodging to seek food, but it merely lodges in the holothurian for shelter, as the power of stinging that sea cucumbers possess to a high degree renders them fairly safe from moles tation. The little lodgers do not seem to do any harm to their landlords ex cept when several take quarters in the same one, and they may inflict fatal damage by overcrowding. lightning-Arrentcr for Troll#j-Car*. Anew kind of lightning-arrester has been attracting atention in Europe. It is designed for the purpose of pre venting accidents occuring on trolley cars from sudden discharges of atmos pheric electricity in districts crossed by extensive networks of electric wire, a common form of accident resulting in injury to the instruments and some times loss of life. The intent of the new system is to prevent the flash from reaching any part of an electric system, or, if this should take place, to insure that the current is invariably deflected so that no harm can result. The system has been introduced in a number of cars of the Berlin-Charlot tenburg Electric railway in Germany, and so-called “horn arresters” are at tached to the upper part of the car in the same way as the trolley. A num ber of these instruments have also been placed at oertain intervals along the line, fixed on the top of the orna mental iron posts that carry the con ducting wire of the railway. The first cars on which the system was tried worked so well that the lightning-ar resters have been generally adopted. In some instances the “horn arresters” have been applied in the form of a sec ond trolley, and in others they have been installed on the roof of the car in connection with the trolley itself. The Acid In Lunoni. According to the New York Journal of Commerce a New York firm has made tests to ascertain the compara tive citric values of Caiifcrnia and Sicily lemons. The following is the re sult: Ninety-one and one-half California lemons would yield one United States gallon of juice. One hundred and twenty-eight and one-half Mediterranean lemons would yield one United States gallon of Juice. The specific gravity of the juice in each was 1.041. Three hundred California lemons would yield 450 ounces, avoirdupois, juice, containing 26.64 ounces, avoirdu pois, crystal citric acid. Three hundred Mediterranean lem ons would yield 325 ounces, avoirdu pois, juice, containing 19.70 ounces, avoirdupois, crystal citric acid. The value of this test has been ques tioned by the importers, who cVued that it was unfair, in that it compared Mediterranean fruit, which was among the first of the season, and which had not matured, with California fruit at its best stage. Florida people aie going more and more into the small fruit and orang® business.
