ATTEMPT TO SPLIT VOTERS
•Sew Political Party is Organized in North Caro
lina.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 20.
—Josephus Daniels, the
(veil-known editor of the Raleigh
Sews and Observer and Democratic
Committeeman from North Carolina
discussed public affairs here on his
way to New York recently.
“The latest thing in North Caro
lina,” Mr. Daniels remarked, ‘‘is the
broadly heralded movement to start
3 new party for the overthrow of or
ganized Democracy. ‘Conservatives’ is
■the name given the members of the
aew party, who is is claimed, have
raised a $200,000 campaign fun. It
is openly stated that this new organi
sation boasts of a membership of
thirteen, and there are prospects that
ft will have as many as twenty-three
•nrmbers before the end of the cam
paign. The names of the members
who have subscribed to the large
campaign fund is a secret in North
Carolina.
No man has yet come forward to
dentify himself with the ‘Conserva
tives,’ though the promises has been
made that the public will soon be
36ken into the confidence of the thir
teen projectors.
“The last effort made to break
town the Democracy in North Caro
lina occurred during the days of
?almer and Buckner movement.
There were a number of sincere,
CHRISTINE WILSON
IS VERY ILL
Swedish Nightingale Near
ing Death’s Door.
i NOW AT HER CHILUOOD HOME
Sketch of One of the Greatest singers
the World Has Ever Knov\n~Her
Peculiar Second Marriage With
Count de Mirands.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 20. (Special)
The Countess de Mirando, better
known as Christine Nilsson, who was
world famous years ago as an oper
atic. singer, is dangerously ill at her
childhood home near the hamlet of
Hussaby, on the Southern confines of
the Swedish peninsular. The Count
ess' has been out of the public eye for
twenty years now, but there are many
who still preserve a vivid recollection
at how her exquisite voice thrilled
large audiences in all the capitals of
Europe and in America in the seven
ties.
The once famous singer is now in
her sixty-fifth year. Her father was a
peasant and she was the eighth child.
Her father was an impassioned ad
mirer of music and it was from him
That Christine learned the first scale
of the musical notes. She began her
"V,’die career as a child by singing at
mil's and weddings under the direc
tion of an elder brother. One clay at
a. fair at Ljumby the singing of Chris
due attracted the attention of a local
magistrate by the name of Thornerh
jelm, who saw her parents and ar
ranged for the education of the young
girl. She was first sent to an excel
lent school in Gothenburg, where she
remained two years. Afterward she
was sent to Stockholm, where she
was instructed by M. Franz Berwald.
She made her first appearance at
Stockholm in 18G0, went to Paris,
continued her musical education un
der Masset and Wurtel, and made her
iebut at the Theatre Lyrique, in Oc
tober, 1804, as Violetta in the "Travi
ita.” with such success that she was
engaged for three years. She made
aer first appearance in London at
Her Majesty’s Theatre in l'-CT. and
proved tin- great operatic attraction
at that establishment during the
season. In ISTO she made her first
visit to the United States, where, with
in less than a year, she is said to
aave cleared nearly s2oo,Obu.
Her first husband was M. Augusto
Rouzand, the son of an eminent
French merchant, to whom she was
married in London in 1872. He died
in Paris ten years later, and in IS>7
ifte married Count Angel de Miranda. ■
Miranda was a very unattractive lit- 1
ide man, the son of a lady who was
governess to the first wife of the late .
Cng of Spain and whom the latter
-atsed to the rank of countess.
The story of Miranda’s marriage
with Christine Nilsson is a peculiar :
m*. He was her husband only in
same, and never lived with her. The
famous singer merely married him
je account of his daughter. The lat
ter was a lovely girl whose acquaint-1
aaee Christine made at Nice. The j
anger became devotedly attached to
he girl and finally declared that she

1 good men identified with the gold par
j ty in the State, but this latest politi
cal creation that is to sweep things
in North Carolina is not to be men
tioned in the same breath. There
has been much in the Eastern papers
j about this new party, which is re
j garded in the State as material wor
-1 thy of the humorous column.” *
Mr. Daniels thinks the Democrats
in this Congress have it in their pow
er to make the issues in the campaign
next year. “The nominee for the
Presidency will not be able to do so,"
said the Carolina editor. “The res
ponsibility is with the members in
Congress. If they will declare for
' rigid economy all along the line this
winter, and make good their words by
deeds, the Democracy will have a
powerful issue next year. But if the
Democrats support all the appropria
tion measures proposed by the domi
nant party in order to get a pittance
of the pork that is passing around,
they do nothing more than justify
Republican extravagance. The Demo
cracy in Congress needs to return to
old-time priciples. A Samuel J. Ran
dall is needed.
It was a fight against a billion-dol
lar Congress that gave us our vic
tory in IS9O. it is time to appeal to

vice.”
could not bear the idea of seperation
and proposed to adopt her. The Count
de Miranda gave his consent, stipu
lating, however, that the singer
should likewise adopt hint as hus
band and provide for his financial
welfare, undertaking to remain her
husband only in name. The arrange
ment was carried out according to
agreement. With her marriage Chris
tine retired from the operatic stage
and continued to divide her time be
tween France and Spain. Os late
years, however, she made her home
altogether in Sweden.

CHANNEL MAY
STOP LUSITANIA
Lear New Cunarder Will Stick
Last on Way Out.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. (Special)
If the New Cunarder Lusitnaia gets to
sea to-morrow without stirring up
the bottom of Ambrose Channel,
which she formally opened when she
came to port last Friday, it will sur
irise many steamship agents and not
a few pilots. It is feared the ship will
stick fast on the way out. She was
light when she came through the
channel last Friday, but on Saturday
she will go out loaded.
The Lusitania had 7,500 tons of coal
on board when she left Liverpool
September 7 on her maiden trip. She j
burned all of this fuel with the ex
ception of 500 tons and as all of the j
water ballast was pumped out of her
tanks she drew only thirty-two feet,
two inches of water aft when she ;
entered this port.
Sh> lias taken on board 7,000 tons of j
coal and this with the immense quan
tity of provisions necessary for tak
ing her back to Liverpool, will bring
down her draft several feet, or prettj
close to the limit of depth in Ambrose ;
Channel. It is thought she will draw
thirty-five feet of water.
When the new channel is finished
there will be a clear depth of forty j
feet. Now it has only thirty-five feet,
of water at high tide. Officers of the j
ship admitted it was a job that would
require great caution.
The tugboat Nicholas is to be used j
as a guide and will steam half a mile j
ahead of the Lusitania to show her 1
the way. Army officers who are fin
ishing the work of making the new
channel will go down in a special tug i
to help get the Lusitania out in good
shape.
A man's as good as landed when
he tells his friends how solicitious
she is about his future success, and j
believes it impersonal.

LOS ANGELES, CAL., Sept. 20.
(Special)—What was without a doubt
the greatest aggregation of funny
men ever gathered on a single plat

in the big Temple auditorium this
afternoon and cracked fresh jokes
that stirred the risibilities of the au

A Bold Step.
To overcome the well-grounded and

by the makers of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, arioso has published broad
