ii nrnnnnn nnnirii tn iituunua onunoi Bitter Personalities Charac terize Prolonged Debate in Congress. ELOQUENT ENGLISH. Masterful Review of Religion That Is Possibly Unsurpassed. "In a club to which I once belonged John Henry Newman's sermons were studied as belle lettres," remarked a layman, "and I was struck with the CABINET NOW COMPLETE. Mr. Taft Permits Announcements to Be Made. New York, Feb. 24. President-elect William H. Taft today completed his Cabinet by the offer of the treasury portfolio and its acceptance. That fact that Newman's famous discourse , 0ffer was made to and accepted by entitled 'The Second Spring,' was the , Franklin MacVeagh, of Chicago, is as The Record Shows That the Aggregate oi Billingsgate Exceeds Similar Exchange oi "Compliments" of Any Day In Quarter of a Century. Washington, D. C, Feb. 26. All rec ords for the Sixtieth Congress were broken by the House session which ended at 3:21 o'clock this morning, having extended over a period of six teen and a half hours. Efforts of the House leaders to rush through all the important appropriation bills in the closing hours of the session, which terminates next Thursday at noon, to gether with the obstructions placed in tiieir way by the Democrats, pro'o-a'-lv will necessitate long night ses sions on every one of the five remain ing days. The Democratic filibuster inaugu rated last night greatly irritated Chairman Tawney, of the Appropria tions Committee, and the result was frequent clashes between him and members on the opposite side of the chamber. Bitter personalities were indulged in. When . Mr. Tawney's temper was referred to by Mr. Beall, of Texas, Mr. Mann, of Illinois, suggested that Mr. Tawney's tenaper might be improved if the "gentleman from Texas wouici improve his manners." "To copy those of the gentleman from Illinois." was the hot retort, "would be to make of myself a clown." Mr. Gaines, of Tennessee, also took offense at Mr. Tawney and announced that he would stand the "snarls and howls of the gentleman," but little longer. A sharp passage occurred late in the night between Mr. Tawney and John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, former minority leader, when the for mer declared that he was not trying to prevent the gentleman from mak ing a speech, but an exhibition of himself. Mr. Williams responded In kind, stating that if he were making as great an exhibition himself as the gentleman from Minnesota normally and naturally does of himself, he would faelafer for himself than he then did. The records show that thS aggfe favorite from a literary point of view "But in my humble Judgment New man's sermon on the conversion of the Engles of Britain was his master work. Newman took, the text from XIV chapter of St. Matthew: 'The boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves, for the wind was con trary; and in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking upon the sea.' "That sermon was preached, In St. Chad'c. Birmingham. England, and that masterful review of religion was at onee philosophic and eloquent. Every sentence might well come un der the head of choice literature. This paragraph, for example, is perhaps unsurpassed: "'And so He who, did it so please Him, tould raise up children to Abra ham out of the very stones of the earth, nevertheless determined in this instance In His free mercy to unit- what was beautiful in nature with what was radiant in grace; and a? if those poor Anglo-Saxons had beeii too fair to be heathen, therefore did He rescue them from the devil's serv ice and the devil's doom and bring them unto the house of His holiness and the mountain of His rest. It is an old story and a familiar, and I need not go through it. I need not tell you my brethren, how suddenly the word of truth came to our ances tors in this island and subdued them to its gentle rule; how the grace of God fell on them; and without com pulsion, as the historian tells us, the multitude became Christian; how when all was tempestuous and hope less and dark, Christ like a vision of glory came walking to them on the waves of the sea.' "Newman's English was always clear and charming. As a recent crit ic said, 'Newman was the most fasci nating writer of the nineteenth cen tury, and no one could read a page that came from Ms pen without feel ing conscious of being under his spell.' " Poor Lo In Books and Dramas. New York World. Now that the grave has closed ovpr the last of notable American savaees, may we not reasonably expect fiom novelist or dramatist or musician a work which shall worthily interpret the character of the aborigine? The Indian has suffered almost ?s much from flattery as from detrac tion. - We are to beware of final jwlg near a positive statement of what is believed to be fact as may be made in the fact of an absolute refusal by Mr. Taft to throw any light on the situation. It is vaguely hinted that there are things1 to be accomplished in Washington before an announce ment may be properly made. Mr. Taft gave a bold hint tonight that it might be possible for him to' divulge the identity of his latest Cabinet ac quisition in the immediate future, but he at once qualified the hint with an expression of doubt. In spite of the strong belief that Mr. MacVeagh had been offered the treas ury portfolio and had already, or would, accept, there were reports that the name cf A. E. Hepburn, of New Ycrk, form r comptroller of the cur rency, had figured largely in the con ferences on the subject. It was de clared thr.t bad anything arisen to eliminate iWr. MacVeagh from the list as it in now understood to stand, Mr. Hepburn would be selcted to take his place. Mr. Taft's request brought Frank H. Hitchcock Lr.m Washington early r.oday and the two were in long con ference twice, C. P. Taft, who got iere from Cincinnati this morning. participating in the first conference. Mr. Taft began the day by attend ing the funeral of President Roose velt's nephew, young Douglas Robin son. Mr. Roosevelt was also present at the service. James R. Sheffield, president of the Yale Alumni of this city, obtained Mr. Taft's promise to come here and address the association on March 18 next. Other callers were William Nelson Cromwell, R. C. Ogden and Booker T. Washington. Mrs. Taft joined her husband from Philadelphia. The two were guests at the dinner tonight of Mr. and Mrs. George Wickersham, Mr. Taft's Attorney-General, and later attended the theater.

B. Smithers. Greensboro, N. C, Feb. 24. In Su perior Court this afternoon Judge Long imposed a sentence of five months in jail on Mr. Baxter Shem well, of Lexington, who had been found guilty ot an assault with a deadly weapon on Capt. W. B. Smith ers, a Southern Railway conductor, last July. It will be remembered that Shemwell forced Conductor Smithers to stop southbound train No. 37 for him at Lexington one morning about six " month i ago, that station not be ing a regular stopping place for the train. "When the ease was called for sen tence this afternoon, Judge W. P. By num. Jr., made a motion for a new "trial, basing the motion on the dem onstration made against the defend ant at the conclusion of Solicitor Ful ler's speech to the jury. At the end of an able and eloquent speech, made before a packed court room, Solicitor Fuller was greeted with a spontaneous outburst of applause, and Judge By num argued that this might have in fluenced the jury in reaching a ver dict. Inasmuch as Judge Long had rebuked the crowd for the applause and given a severe reprimand in the presence of the jury, the court de clin.ci tc entertain the motion for a new trial. Counsel gave notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court, Mr. Shemwell's How to Increase the Yield of Fruit Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal supply of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers The trees absorb plant foods that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so well recognized that " return to the land what the tree removes if you would expect the best results " has become an axiom with the best growers. Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers. " I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. O. Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., " and yours proved to be the best. The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as much as where the other two companies' fertilizer was used." Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest because of their good qualities give better satisfaction and quicker results. Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub lished in the new 1909 Farmers' -Year Book, a copy of which will be sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
