The prisoner's mother took her sev

argued that since her son was the

must feed the family if the grown

ever, refused to look at the matter
in this light and carried her chil
dren on Into the Jail. She swore
mighty oaths when forcibly ejected
from the premises by tHe jailer and
was highly Indignant when it was
suggested that she make application
for admission into the poor house.
She did not mind staying in Jail,
but the poor house perish the
thought. The fact that able bodied
inmates of the county home are re
quired to work probably had some
thing to do with the woman's view
of the matter.

British Spent 85,000.000 In Missouri
and Kansas for Moles and Horses.
Kansas City. Aue. 11. Colonel
Skinner, of the British army, one
of the English omcers who has been
stationed in the United States since
the outbreak of the Boer war buy
ing horses and mules, returned to
Kansas City from New Orleans, to
day. With the shipments just made
from Kansas City to Cape Town,
the British government has spent
$1,000,000 in Kansas City for horses
and mules for service in South
Africa.
Colonel Skinner says that approxi
mately 100,000 animals have been
shipped from this vicinity through
the port of New Orleans during the
past three years. The average paid
for these animals is $50 a head,
making the total expenditure $5,-
000,000 in Missouri and Kansas
alone.
Washington, Aug. 9. Prepara
tions are under way by the War
Department to make a further re
duction in the military forces in the
Philippines. Just how much reduc
tion will be made cannot be deter
mined until the department hears
from General Chaffee. It has al
ready been decided, however, to
bring back to this country just as
soon as practicable the remaining
artillery organizations in the Philippines.

Boers Have Signal Success.
London. Aug. 10. The Boere
seem to be having signal success in
their operations against small' Brit
ish forces, as numerous victories of
this nature have been reported dur
ing the Dost few weeks. General
Lord Kitchener telegraphs the war
office today that a British block
house near Brandford, Orange River
Colony, was rushed and captured by
the Burghers on the night of Aug. 7.
The fight was a determined one
and lasted for some time, the Brit
ish offering dogged resistance to the
assailants. General Kitchener's dis
patch gives no account of the Boer
casualties.

Editor Caucasian: As a result of

paid into Uncle Sam's treasury some
thing like twelve thousand dollars
($12,000) in fines, penalties and for
forfeitures, say nothing of the courts
at Elizabeth City, Newbern and
Wilmington. This speaks well for
the administration of District At

Wine at Less Than a Cent a Gallon.
San Francisco Dispatch.
French exporters propose to enter
into active competition with the
wine makers of this State. It is as
serted that in the Perigord district
of France the crop of grapes has been
so enormous that wine has fallen to
less than one cent a gallon.
The French growers do not intend
shipping wine to this country owing
to the tariff, but they propose to
send over condensed must. This is
unfermented juice of the grape
which can be quickly converted into
fair wine by the addition of water.
The duty on must is only 20 per
cent, ad valorem.

Papers say Kitcheners Proclamation Is
Against International Law.
London, Aug. 9. A parliament
ary paper has been issued containing
the proclamation Issued by Lord
Kitchener August 7th, In accordance
with instructions from the Imperial
Government, the Governments of
Cape Colony and Natal concurring.
The proclamation says:
"All commandants, field cornets
and leaders of armed bands, beine
burghers of the late Republics and
still engaged in resisting His Ma
jesty's forces, whether In the Orange
Colony, the Transvaal or other por
tion of His Majesty's South African
dominions, and all members of the
Governments of the late Orange
Free State and Transvaal shall, un
less they surrender before Septem
ber 15th, be permanently banished
from South Afriga. The cost of the
maintenance of the families of all
burghers in the field Who have not
surrendered by September 15th
shall be recoverable from such burgh
ere and shall be a charge upon their
property, removable and immovable,
in the two colonies."
The preliminary correspondence
shows that the proclamation is based
upon suggestions which the Govern
ment of Natal forwarded to Colonial
Secretary l hamberlain, Jyr 24th,
and that the date, 8eptenfer 15th
was recommended by Lord Milner.

New Labor Organization,
Washington, Aug. 9. A new na
tional labor order, intended to bring
together all classes of machinists',
helpers and laborers in the navy
yards and arsenals through the
country, was organized here last
night. "The Navy Yard Employes
Protective Association" is the name
chosen, but the word "arsenal" will
be added when the arsenal employes
are taken in.
The Constitution Declared that all Prl-
rat s Must Have Been Killed in the
Civil War-The Decision of this Court
la Final.
Suffork, Va., Aug. 8. One of the
most unique clubs in the country
was organized nere tonignt. it is
called the Society lor the Suppres
sion of Spurious Titles, and its mem
bers hope its influence will be far-
reaching. Its members and omcers
are among the most influential peo
ple in the city, including the mayor,
former veterans, and prominent
professional and business men.
Here are some extracts from the
constitution adopted:
"Believing that the indiscriminate
bestowal of titles, regardless of the
recipient's real claim to the distinc
tion suggested by the appellation, is
being carried much too far in this
and other communities, this Society
for the Suppression of Spurious
Titles is organised and established
with a view to the elimination of
such titles except in cases where the
person so addressed can prove a
bona tide rtgnt to nave Lis name
prefixed by a word suggesting distinction.
"We believe, further, that the
miscellaneous application of spurious
title s is degrading to those worthy
such honors and cheapens the value
ofsuch distinctions, which should
be bestowed only upon those whose
service, accomplishments, or attain
ments have justified fame's notice.
"Seemingly all the privates were
killed in the civil war, and there
are left few officers with a lower
rank than colonel. This society
presumes that all persons should be
addressed as plain 'mister' unless
the contrary be shown."
The constitution is much longer,
and further provides how the court
of inquiry may summon - witnesses
to appear for or against the person
whose title is questioned. The de
cision of the court is final, and must
be so recognized by posterity. The
club is causing much comment.
Following are the officers: Mayor
MAY CLOSE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Many of Those in Virginia Have Not
Legal Average Attendance.
Washington Post.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 8. Secre
tary Brent, of the Department of
Education, is preparing a tabulated
statement of the number of free
schools in the state that , are illegal
for the reason that the attendance
upon their sessions does not come up
to the average required by law.
These facts, it is thought, will be
laid before the committee on educa
tion of the constitutional conven
tion, with some recommendation in
favor of remedying the evil.
It is understood that in one of the
valley counties out of forty-four
schools, white and colored, twenty-
four of the white and five of the
colored schools were kept open with
out making a legal average. It is
said one-third of the schools in the
state are below the average. Tnis
question was brought to the atten
tion of an educational conference
recently held in this city, and it is
understood that many of the lead
ing members favor some sweeping
reforms in the public schools.
YIELDS TO SKILL
French Physician Discovers a Cure
for St. Titus' Dance'.
-The Journal's
New York, N. Y.
Paris cable says:
" St. Vitus' dance, the most dread
ed of nervous disorders, and general
ly looked upon as practically in
curable, has at last yielded to the
skill of a distinguuished physician,
Dr. Huyghe, who has just discover
ed a cure as admirable for simplicity
as remarkable for effectiveness.
Dr. Huyghe's method consists
simply in partially chloroforming
the patient and administering vig
oroiis massage over the entire body,
after which the members most af
fected are placed in splints, so that
no movement is possible.
At the end of six days the splints
are removed, ana h tne slightest
nervous twitching is observable the
treatment is renewed. The method
has never failed. It has restored to
absolute control patients who had
for twenty years despaired of re
lief.
It is, moreover, painless, involv
ing no risks, as the chloroform is so
slight as rarely to produce anajsth
esia.
Washington, August 8. The an
nual report of Major General Mac
Arthur, dated July 4th, 1901, the
day that he relinquished command
of thy division of the Philippines,
has been received at the War De
partment. The period covered by
the report is from October 1, 1900,
when the last report from General
MacArthur was dated. He reviews
the policy of the insurgents who
were hostile to the Americans, say
ing that their action since the prac
tical collapse of the insurrection has
been a perplexing problem. With
the disbandment of the insurgent
field armies, the Filipinos organized
desperate resistance by banding the
people together in support of the
guerrillas. This was carried out by
means of secret committees who col
lected contributions, inflicted punish
ments, and carried on a considerable
opposition to the Americans. Gen
eral MacArrhur reviewed the man
ner in which operations were car
ried on against these guerrillas, and
savs he hopes the policy will, in
time, conciliate the natives and
make them friendly to the United
States
The education of the people in
times past made them suspicious of
any governmental beneficence, and
they evidently looked upon the
lenient attitude of the United States
as indicating weakness. General
MacArthur says that the proclama
tion issued on December 20th firmly
declaring the intention of the United
States to hold the islands and to
have the laws obeyed, had a good
effect and the secret resistance was
much abated.
A considerable portion of the re
port is devoted to the field operations
of the army, showing that on Octob
er 1, 1900, it occupied 413 stations
which was, of necessity, increased
to 502 stations, every command
being in contest with some hostile
force. He speaks of the good ser
vice of the army and says as a re
sult of the co-operation between the
people who have accepted the in
vitation to combine for mutual pro
tection, the armed insurrection is al
most suppressed.
General MacArthur gives the fol
lowing statistics from May 6th,
1900, to June 30th, 1901, (during
which time there were 1,026 con
tacts between American troops and
insurgents), which show the casual
ties on both sides: Americans kill
ed 245, wounded 490, captured 118,
missing 20. Insurgents killed 2,
854, wounded 1,193, captured 7,672,
surrendered 23,095. During the
same period, the following material
was captured from or surrendered
by the insurgents: Rifles 15,693,
rifle ammunition 296,365 rounds
revolvers 868; bolos 3,516, cannon
ammunition 10,270 rounds.
General MacArthur gives a brief
recapitulation of the conditions in
different provinces and says that at
present the molding force in the
Philippine islands must be a well
organized army and navy. Any
thing, he says, in the immediate
future calculated to impede the
activity or reduce the efficiency of
these instruments, will not only be
a menace to the present but put in
jeopardy the entire future Ameri
can possibilities in the archipelago.
General MacArthur says the capture
of Aguinaldo may be regarded as
the most momentous single event of
the year.
"Though not bnlrgalovrr of war,
I think that many ef us have learn
ed to thank God that the conflict
with Spain was forced upun u. It
was to show the world what we are.
We can also thank Him for the love
of England In that matter, fur al
though we knew of England's
friendship, perhaps you have no Men
of the extent of her friendship
her love. This laat winter, when
at Barbadoes, we fouud the Wet
Indies-British fleet there, and Invit
ed one of the British naval officers
of high rank on board our ship to
dine with us. The con vt nation
turned on the powers opposed to u
during the war with Spain, and the
British officer exclaimed: 'Gen
tlemen, perhaps you knew that
England was with you, but you
have no idea of what England really
did for you. I was on leave when
the Spanish-American war broke
out, and together with several other
officers was immediately ordered
back to duty. We had at two point
sixty-three of our ships, waiting to
be ordered out in case of any naval
demonstration being made against
the United States by the other low
ers. If any such demonstration had
been made we would have headed
them off.' "

San Francisco, Aug. 10. John
Winters, the man under arrest on
suspicion of having been connected
with the gold robbery here, after
undergoing an additional severe in
quisition from the police and having
hopes for mercy, confessed to the
police yesterday afternoon that he
had committed the robber', and
promised to point out the spot where
the bullion had been concealed.
Accordingly Winters was taken
last evening to Crockett, in the
vicinity of the Selby Smelting and
Lead Works, and showed where the
bullion had been sunk. An hour
later five bars of refined gold had
been recovered valued at 170,000.
They were found half a mile from
the tunnel which Winters had bur

New Orleans, La., Aug. 10.
What is regarded as an attempt of a
Boer Sympathizer to blow up
British transport occurred shortly
after midnight; when there was a
terrific explosion at the binding,
where the Harrison steamer Mechan
ician is moored. The Mechanician
is to carry mules to South Africa.
The explosion shook houses, rattled
dishes and awakened people for
some distance around. Most of the
crew were asleep, but the ex
plosion brought them quickly from
their berths to the deck. An exami
nation showed a Urge dent on the
starboard side of the ship. Two
places at the water's edge had been
sprung and considerable water was
