' United States, owning real and per
sonal property to the aggregate value
of not less than 810,000,000,000.

May Be Hitch In Negotiations.
London, April 10.—The Daily Mail
in its issne of,this morning, says it un
derstands a serious hitch has occurred
in the peace negotiations in South
Africa. The cabinet council has de
cided’ to refuse a strongly worked re
quest from the Boer leaders at Pretoria
for an armistice pending the negotia
tions. This alone is not likely to cau*«
the Boers to withdraw from the con’
ference, says the Daily Maii, but what
threatens to stop negotiations is the
fact that the government declines to
place the latter Cape rebels upon the
same footing aa the burgher* with re
spect to amnesty and is not inclined to
withdraw the banishment proclama
tion, These features are regarded by
the Boera aa two cardinal points in the
irreducible minimum of terms.
Their chief demands, continues the
Billy Mail, are that Great Britian
•hall rebuild and restock the farms,
take over the legal claims and liabili
ties of the two republics and grunt a
representative government within a
shorter period than is now contem
plated. 1
After the Outlaws.

force of heavily armed men ia on the
trail of the Wright and Templeton
gangs of outlaws for the purpose of
driving them to their mountain strong-
• >ld, and a bloody battle is expected

The officers now claim to have posi
tive proof that the gang was the one
which robbed the Reynolds store and
postoffice at Purchase, Scott county,
Va., last Wednesday night,, and the
store and postoffice at Skelton Tenn.,
Sunday morning.
Invites Friends te See Hint Die.
Raleigh, N. C, April 16.—FTom Ruth
erford connty, in this state, comes a
report of one of the most unusual af
fairs. A man has made all prepara
tions to commit suicide, and intends to
make of it a gala occasion.
Allen Cagsdell is an aged, wealthy
and very eccentric farmer of that sec
tion It is said he has sent out invita
tions to all of his numerous relatives to
attend a big dinner which he intends
to {rive at his home on June 10.
The unique feature of the invitation,
it is suid, is that it contains the an
nouncement that at the noon hour,
sharp, those present are to have the
pleasure and experience the novel sen
sation of seeing him take his own life.
Mr. Cagsdell is a Confederate veteran.
In his invitation he does not announce
ths method he will employ in dispatch
ing himself; but he is still the proud
possessor of his old army revolver, and
tho«c who know him well are impress
ed with the belief that he will attompt
to use the weapon upon himself.

higher than it ought to be. The ten
dency in state legislation his been to
ward public extravagance. Appropria
tions have exceeded the public|incomes,
and the reserve fund has been wiped nut
of existence. The tax rate is increasing,
but the ability to pay is not Such a
system i« false nud unjus;. It w uld
ruin any private business, and will nun
any state. The time ha* cime for a halt.
Corporations should be made to pay
their just part of taxes. A wise economy
or an old-fhshinned frugality should pre
vail, and then the taxes should be limit
ed by constitutional amendment The
people are entitled to it.

State Will llnye to Borrow.

The advance in the price of meat has
been so rapid that It has now become
a luxury In Utley, N. Y., and many of
tbe poorer families have been forced
to discontinue its use entirely. Tbe
doors of several markets are closed,
there not being enough business to
warrant thfir opening. 28 cents per
pound for porterbouso steak in
stead of 20, and 19 cents for round
steak instead of 12 have caused the peo
ple to go on a diet of eggs and eereala.
A leading retailer saya that tba
