The union seems to be strong in Raleigh, Burlington, Greensboro, Con vord, Gastonia and in Charlotte, but there Bfp not many members of the union among the operatives of mills in rural districts. At McAdensville, for instance, ,],o operatives are not members of the union, and declare that they will have nothing to do with the strike, and opera tes m other country places have a sim ilar feeling." "Have you received any notification, of ficial or otherwise, of President Gom pers' demands-" Compere Wants Recognition. •No The only thing Gompers wants in the" whole business is recognition of him, in his official capacity, and this recogni tion ho Will never receive front Southern mill owners.” And the operatives?” "Oh if they 'are forced into the strike the only reason they can or will assign p ,hat they wish a reduction of the laßor Pours. The strike will be the greatest mistake that could be mad© by operatives in this Country." In common with other manufacturers in this section, Dr. McAden is not at ail alarmed over the prospect of the strike. The market is against the manufacturers now: but they made money last year and their financial position is such that they <an < it her continue to run on short time. b- at present, or else, if they are forced to do so by the strike, they can shut down altogether without overmuch con cern about the ultimate outcome of labor conditions and a bad market. Taking a surface view of the situation, the mill owners and operatives here are o contented and prosperous aggregation ond there is nothing to Indicate an ap proaching economic storm. Disaffection will come from without, and not as the result of local conditions. SHIPS OF THP VIBOIMA CI. ISS, Urpnrtmcnt Stay Increase Armor Thickness and Site of Guns. Washington, April 25.—The Navy De partment has about concluded that the new battleships of the Virginia class shall have armor <Jt six inches thickness in casemate and from seven to eleven inches side armor. This is about the same as the armor on the ships nosv building. Chief attention is now being given to the batteries of the new ships. Although no conclusions have been reached, there is a tendency toward substituting Beven-ineh suns in the broadside batteries in place of six-inch weapons. It is said that this change would permit the broadside guns to penetrate one-inch more armor than at present, at a range of 3,000 yards and will materialily increase the effectiveness of the guns in other respects.

Terrible Experiences of a Party of Goldseeker*. Chicago, April 25.—A special to the Rec ord-Herald from Victoria, B. C., says; A terirble story of the fate of a party of six gold-seekers in the Copper river country comes from Dawson, where the only survivor of the little company has arrived. The party left Seattle three years ago for Copper river, and, accord ing to this man’s tale, the treacherous Valdes glacier claimed one of the party for its own. He disappeared in a Assure in the ice, descending a distance of seven ty-five feet, where he became wedged be tween walls of ice. He remained conscious and gave final instructions to his com panions, who were powerless to assist him. The next misadventure was on a raft which was tossed over Thundering rapids and broken to pieces against the jagged rocks. The five men made a desperate fight for life, but three of them were never seen again. Two reached shoTe, one of whom was severely injured in ternally and the other with a fractured arm. They were bereft of all provisions and hundreds of miles from civilization. After days of untold suffering the spark of life in the man injured internally was mercifully extinguished. His lone partner for thirteen days wandered on without food. After that his life became a blank for a period of twelve months and when his senses returned ha found himself among friendly Indians.

THE “DARK MAN.” JIM CALLAHAN IDENTIFIED BY YOUNG Cl lAHY. THE FAMOUS KIDNAPPING. THE TRIAL OF THE CASE BEGINS AT OMAHA. Witness Testifies That Callahan Is the Man Who Mndr Htin a Prison er, Who Guarded Him in the House and Who Was W ith Him W hen He Was Released—Admits That He Was Not Quite Positive at First and Identified Him Largely by Ills Voice. Omaha. Neb., April 25.—1n the trial of James Callahan, on the charge of con nection with the kidnapping of Edward Cudahy, Jr., Dec. Ik. 1900, the victim took the stand and absolutely identified Cal lahan as the "dark man” in the case. After teeing of his confinement in a de serted house, which he described minutely. Young Cudahy was addressed by Attorney Cowin as follows: "You may state whether the dark man who put a pistol to your head and made you a prisoner, and who guarded you most of the time in the bouse, and who walked down tile street with you, and bade you good-bye, when you were released, was one and the same person.” “It was the same man.” "Who was that man?” “Jim Calalian." “The defendant here in this ease?” "Yes, sir.” • From this point on Callahan was re ferred to by name and no longer by the name “dark man.” Callahan’* Cynieul Smile, Callahan betrayed no emotion when the boy said he was one of the abductors, but a cynical smile played faintly over his features. Witness testified that Callahan's mus tache was stubbier at the time of the kidnaping than it is now. Attorney Haller cross-examined young Cudahy for the defense. Witness admit ted that he had gone over the case with Gen. Cowin with reference to his tes timony. He again told of the route trav ersed, as nearly as she could tell. He ad mitted that the only direct view he had of the dark man's face was when he ap proached him. He admitted that at that time he was pretty badly frightened and said he could not have Identified Callahan from “simply seeing him.” He said the police told him they had a matt in jail and wanted to see if he could identify the prisoner as the dark man. He ad mitted that he identified Callahan prin cipally by his voice, and said he would not be able to identify him by his appear ance alone. In answer to a question the boy said he ivas as certain of the identity of Cal lahan as he was of the identity of his father or mother. He thought it hardly possibly for there to be another voice like Callahan's. He said Callahan had a sort of a brogue and gave a peculiar turn to some words and sort of talked through his teeth. The boy admitted he was not positive as to his identification of Calla han at the close of the first interview in the chief's office, but after a second sit ting, was positive in his hjenlitication. • WASHINGTON (GA.)

Wa> cross Grand Jury Jumps u This # Institution. Waycross, Ga.. April 25.—1n their pre sentments the grand jury report finding the books and vouchers of J. A. Jones, treasurer, neatly and correctly kept, show ing overpaid vouchers to the amount of $4,259.04. The County School Commission ers’ books are likewise found correct, showing a balance on hand o*f $102.85. The books and records of the county farm show expenditures of $3,079.49 from April, 1900 to April, 1901. The clause in the general presentments that has caused the greatest amount of discussion is the report relating to the poor farm. The committee appointed to investigate the farm was composed of E. M. Cribb, R. J. McQuaig, D. G. Miller, J. R. White, R. G. James, W. B. Craw ford, W. S. Booth. They append an exhibit showing thp value they place upon the property at the farm as follows: Land and improvements s2.u<> 00 Forty-three head cattle 300 00 Two mutes 250 00 Sixty hogs 00 00 One horse 75 00 Corn and other products 100 00 Farm implements 150 UO Total $2,935 00 The committee say In their report: "After a careful investigation we find that the farm has only seven inmates that are entitled under the law to share the pauper fund. That the farm is maintain ing at a heavy expense to the county twenty-five people in no way entitled to participate in the benefits of the pauper fund, and that the farm Is iielng used as an industrial home for the benefit pf a limited few instead of being used for the purpose for which it was originally in tended. The expense for maintaining the farm is large, largely out of proportion in com parison with the number benefited, amounted last year to something over S3,OU). We learn that the County Commission ers. without any legal authority so far as we are able to discover, have claused to be erected upon this farm an academy costing at a liberal estimate about $300; this academy is not only patronized by the indigent children of this farm, but largely from outside sources, nil of which we insist is wrong in practice and in principle. It Is wrong in practice, for it is an ex travagance to erect u building of this proportion and maintain it for the pur pose of educating the few children that are inmates of this institution, when some spare room -syf the farm building could have subserved the same purpose It is wrong ill principle, in that it brings in daily contact children of in dependent parents with those that aie dependent, and this association is not cal culated to lift up to the higher plane the young anal pliant minds of the children whose narents are self sustaining. If this practice is legal, the county will be called Ul>on to erect school houses ln all other districts, that the children of all these citizens might share the liberality of the county alike. We also find that the county farm is in no way self sustaining; its expendi tures largely exceed it sinc-ome and the benefits given. As it stands to-day it is an octopus that is drinking up the taxes of the people and giving assistance and succor to a very limited few. ln the light of facts recited, and of the further fact that it is costing this county more to sustain the pau|ers of the coun ty, end only a few participating, than it did formerly when a much larger num ber shared its liberality, wo respectfully recommend that the farm and all prop erty Incident thereto be disposed of to the best possible advantage, the proceeds of the sale turned back Into the county treasury, and some mors feasible plan formulated by which our |>aupcrs may be taken care of upon a more oconomical basis. There has been much talk pro and con Indulged ln slncie the reading of, the re port, and jt remains to be seen what steps the commissioners wili take in t|ie matter, whether they will dispose of the farm as directed by the grand Jury, or continue as heretofore, ignoring the rec ommmendation of the grand jury. They recommend Judge J. fl. Williams to succeed himself as Judge of the City Court, and Indorse J. Walter Bennett for solicitor of the City Court: that the sal ary of the City Court judge be changed from $1,20) to S9OO per annum, and re queat the representative to urge the pas sage of an act affecting this change. It is recommended* that the County Commissioners donate $25 to the Imfustrial Home at Macon, Ga., to be paid out ot the county funds. SMITH IS BADLY WANTED.

NEW POLICY IN SOUTH LON LIVINGSTON DISCUSSES THE SITUATION. TAKES A SENSIBLE VIEW. ARE THOSE IN SOUTH IN BYMPATHV WITH RBPI BLICANS. As (lie Negro Question Is Eliminated Those Who Hold Sueh Views M ill Express More Freely and Hepoli licnu Party May trqulre a He speetalile Character In the South. The Industrial Movement "CV'IH Have Some Effect—Real Sympa thies ol Southern People Ire With Democratic Parly and Will Re main So. Washington, April 25.—Representative IJvlngston, who, notwithstanding his re cent illness, has kept track of the politi cal situation in the South, expressed him self on that subject to-day: "I am not surprised to hear expres sions from some Southern men favorable to the jiolicies of the Republican party. Among the bankers, railroad men, cotton manufacturers and others interested *n big business enterprises in the South, there are some w ho believe in the policies of the Republican party. They believe in protection, expansion and liberal expendi tures for public improvements, and a pol icy for the development of industries and the extension of trade ami commerce. “The negro question has kept them in the Democratic party, but that question out of the way, they are Republicans in their theories. I am not surprised, there fore, to bear from men in those states where the negro question has tn a meas ure been eliminated, express themselves in favor of the Republican administration. As the negro question is made less serious to our people such expressions will be come more common and more open, and the Republican party may acquire a re spectable character in the South, though I do not think that party can dominate in Southern states-. I think a majority of our people in the South believe in ex pansion, though not in imperialism. “Business is developing and foreign markets are sought. "Some of our peg-pie believe that the iwssession of the Philippines means a gateway to tiie Oriental trade, and cot ton manufacturers and cotton planters want a market for their products and look in that direction for development. I think a majority of our |>eople have no objection to the retention of the Phil ippines under a territorial form of gov ernment. They do not want a territory held under a colonial form of govern ment outside the constitution, and they do not want any of these, islands, the Philippines. Porto Ktco or Cuba admitted to statehood under existing conditions, but they have no objection to the islands we have acquired being held as terri tories, just as other territory has been held for forty or fifty years. They would be satisfied to hHve independents republics created with .the Installment of trade re lations of mutual benefit, or to have ter ritories made of the islands under the constitution. “The South has been struggling along for years trying to build up its Indus tries, and there exists a strong senti ment in favor of the encouragement of the industries which have been and are being developed. Our people have seen other sections of the country enjoying prosperity un der the protection which has been given to their products. 1 think I see a tendency within the Republican party to modify the protection policy and this may counteract the development of Re publicanism in the South. Protection sentiment in the South must be a large factor in making Republicans of mill who, while believing In Republican |>olt cies have been associated with the Dem ocratic party and tf the Republican party abandons or modifies its protective policy that might counteract what would be gained by that party by the gradual eli mination of the negro question. 1 do not believe that the Democracy can be overthrown in the South, but the Republicans may gain strength and respectability througm the relief of the pressure on the negro question if the old Republican |x>licy of protection is ad hered to.” THE .MANHATTAN LIFE.

From the Boston Transcript. The Transcript's explosion of a moon theory in the Fosburgh case, on Its edi torial page of February 4, exposed au unusual specimen of the many senseless things continually published about that luminary, from persona who fairly may be. called well educated. An Associated dispatch of January 31 had reported Prosecuting Attorney Gardner as saying that on the night of the murder tho moon was in Its last quarter, far down the southwestern horizon when the shoot ing occurred.” That is to eay, the moon in its last quarter was nearly setting at ■.nout 1.30 in tho morning! The movement on the moon from "new” to "old" and its puatt lon in the sky at any hour of day or night might be ex plained and Illustrated in the schools in a single month, not over 15 minutes being devoted to it each day, ending with the request that the pupils look for tbe moon that night, and note ita form and ita place in the sky. On cloudy nights, of course, them can be no observation. Some would take but a languid interest in the lesson; others would be incapable of taking it tn; but in general they would glow up ejear of such foolishness as ia often pitifully exhibited in conversation nnd in public print. Nothing need bn taught ot the satellite’s varying distances from the earth, its aphelion, its peri helion or Its nodes. Not an- astronomical term need be used. All one need know for cvery-day use can be shown on a simply physical basis, and be under stood from what can be seen. All will understand that at the hour of (he new moon It cannot be seen, b>- c.tusc th ? sun Illuminates only its aide opposite from us. That it falls behind the sun in its setting, day by day— gets fuither to the left of it each evening, lit ns say-until about 48 hours after the Instant of the new moon It is far enough out of the sun’s glare to be seen as a thin cresent of light, on its right edge !.*' us call it. and not speak of east and west on the satellite’s surface, nor of Its north or south limb. Some new moons, when first visible, have the crescent rather on the lower edge than on the right; but this makes no difference in the plan of explanation. Each evening as the sun sets the moon is more to the left of tt—higher In the sky—and the light on Hs right side grows more and more O'er it* surface. About seven days rfter It wns "new” It 1h at the highest point of its nrched course through the heavers at nearly the time the sun sets. Slid the light han epresd over half the moogfe face. It rose at noon and was visible all the afternoon— If the sky was clear, of course—climbing the eastern heavens, but pale, until at sunset It becomes lustrous. It ts now at the completion of Its first quarter. Still day after day H is seen further eastward, the, light extending more and more over Its face, until tt is a full moon. This cout jdfltes Its second quarter. It now risen not far from Ihe time the sun sets. (This 1s nor for the reader’s enlightenment, perhaps, but to suggest simplicity of In st ruction.) From this lime the light on the moon begins to pass around to the side away from the earth. It passes over the loft edge and shadow begins creeping upon tiie right edge, where the sun's light formed a crescent the first few evenings of the new moon. It Is now In the third quarter. This darkness on the right In creases nightly; each rising of the moon Is later, as It is iu all tts phases, until It rises at about midnight. The left half of its face—a quarter of its entire sur face-1* still bright an ever. The last quarter begins and the time of rising is not far from midnight. There should he no need of reference to the almanac, to learn that when the moon Is In its last quarter at an hour or two after mid-. night, as it is sold to have been ln the Fosburgh case, It cannot arrive there until late ln the forenoon of the coming dny. In the middle of the last quarter It 1* seen mounting the eastern sky In the rooming about four hours ahead of the sun, very slender and wan, and K sets ln the middle of the afternoon. It now rises nearer to the time of sunrise each morning, the sun's light upon it shrinking closer upon Its left edge. The last that I* seen of the “old moon." tt I* rising an hour or so before the sun. scarcely perceptible, so thin Is It# creo cent. U Is this “old moon" of the e<arly morn ing seen In a picture labeled "Evening.” which was seen almost everywhere for many years, and Is otill hanging on many lionve walls. It Is a darkened litho graph. showing an angel floating high over a town and hearing a child aeloey> ln Its arms. But the of light on the moon's left edge show# It la not "Evening.” but an hour or two before sunrise. It Is not the evening new moon, but the morning old moon. Even tn “Jane Kyre"—a book with not another blemish irv details of natural phenomena, so far as I could ever see you find this same blunder about the moon, and never have I seen noticed tn the mile* of columns and page* written relative to that notable story during the 54 years of It* life.' In her desolation Gateshead, Jane nits alone peering loth the meaning of the pictures In a book of plates. Jane tells the render: “I cannot toll what sentiment haunted the quiet, solitary churchyard, with Its inscribed headstone. Ha gate. Its two trees, it low horizon, girdled by a broker* wall; and its newly risen crescent at testing the hour of eventide " It la clear that If the crescent was “newly risen." It had risen not at even tide. but before Hie sun. In the early morn. If tt was evening, the creecent was within an hour or two of setting. A newly rlaen crescent never "attested the hour of eventide” since the creation. Finally, the last of the sun’s light hoa passed around to the other ski# ot the moon, which then Is between ua and the sun; seldom ezactly between, or the sun would 1* eclipsed at every new now It te In tine with the sun In his cowroe •round the eerth.
