North Carolina's Henry Blount has re cently collected and pickled a very amus ing and mirth provoking monologue "A Bottle of Chow Chow" or "An hour with the actors and humorists." It is a liter ary and dramatic combination, full of fun and good humor, ana in it Mr, Blount finds a fine field for the display of his wondrous gifts and brilliant attainment. Judge Palmer of .Florida, a gentleman of learning and culture, pays the following fine tribute to Mr; Blount and his unique and wonderful production: "It was my rare privilege while outing at Blowing Rock, N. C, last summer to hear that unique production, "only a uottie of Chow Chow," by Henry Blount the Mark Twain or the south. There is noth ing approaching it in our literature or heretofore furnished from the rostrum.

Norfolk Pilot, The Wilson bill is workinsr even more than its wonted distress in 'Boston; the mercnants ana warehousemen of that devoted city do not know where they are to. store the vast quantities of wool and sugar that are seeking their nort. Thirty ships, fairly bursting with wool and other nefarious foreign products. are reported to be steaming full speed for Boston. The problem is a grave one, but the experience of three years ago should help the puzzled Bosto nians. Just before the Wilson bill went into effect the curious behavior of ships off the 'Massachusetts coast was much remarked upon. Instead of coming in as now under forced draught, they cruised off and on, waiting for the Mc kinley bill to die; now they are hur rying in before its resuscitaed corpse takes possession of the custom house. It is all a deep mystery from the pro tectionist and patriotic point of view. Of course, all this wool is "dumped" upon us. No one orders it certainly no protected woolen manufacturer would 'be mean enough to get all his wool free and then - take three tfmes as much protection on his goods as is to be given to wool.

Instructions have been issued at the postoff ice department . by which the postmaster - at Des Moines in connection with the owners of the street rallwav franchises in that city, will put letter boxes on all the street car lines in Des Moines. These boxes will be the same as those now used on lamp posts and poles in the various cities of the United States, and will be put on any part of the car that the owners suggest. Whenever a car with one of these boxes reaches the local postoffice the box is to be opened and the contents taken out and assorted for delivery. It is claimed by the department that under the new system passengers on street cars will-be srreatly accommodated by having a little box at hand instead of being compelled to go a block or two to deposit mail matter. This scheme Is to be tried for six months, and at the end of that time a report will be made to the postmaster general as to its feasibility Chicago Tribune. . CA.8TOHIA, OA.HTOH T A.

R.' G. Dun & Co's. weekly review of trade tomorrow will say; An undeclared war between Greece and Turkey has been responsi ble more than any other single .cause for the ehanges'in business this week. Actual fighting; with faets which seem to make a formal declaration of war iby Turkey Inevitable, have affected grain markets much and stocks slightly. The progress of the Mississippi floods does not change the price of cotton, and set tlement of the more important labor difficulties has revived works suspend ed last week. The temporary decrease in exports and large increase in im ports, at New York, 20.8 per cent, for the month, caused questions about the financial future which have not much influence as yet. The increase in im ports, $9,900,000, or over 15 per cent. from last year, and $17,100,000, or 28.9 percent, from February, if long con tinued, may embarrass some branches of business, but can hardly exhaust balances remaining from the unprece dented excess of merchandise exports, $323,381,519 in nine months endnig with (March. . - The wheat market, after its decline of 6 cents last week, was prepared to rise, with prospects of -European war and increased purchases for export, and has risen 4.37 cents since last Fri day. Exports for the week are very small, and for two weeks, but little greater than last year, while corn ex ports continue over three times last year's, and for two weeks 6,032,015 bushels, against 1,963,193 last year, the price advancing less than 1 cent. West ern receipts of wheat-are larger -for the week, and for two weeks as large as last year, and the government re ports indicate a considerably larger yield than that of 1896, which has suf ficed to meet an extraordinary de mand. , Cotton has scarcely changed during the week of unprecedented floods,' though this year's crop will be mate rially diminish unless the water soon subsides. iBut there are numerous in dications tbt in other parts of the south a large acreage is being planted. The output of pig iron increases, though a few furnaces stopped in March, but others with larger capacity started, and the weekly production April 1st was 173,279 tons, against 169, 986 last year. While 20 per cent, "be low the greatest ever known, the out put is- 52 per cent, larger than Octo ber 1st., and stocks unsold increased scarcely any, though the largest on record. The demand 'for nails and wire continues heavy, and in spite of large transactions in the past in structural work and rails, is still fair, while there is much doing in machinery for export to Russia, Japan and -South Africa; but bars and most other finished- pro ducts are in narrow demand and Bes semer pig is lower at $9.90 or less at Pittsburg, with Grey Forge $8.65. there and only $5.75 at Birmingham. Delay in making contracts for lake ore re tards demand for products, but hard ore has begun to sell at $2.40 for Chapin. Tin plate makers have agreed upon $3.50 for full weight Bessemer against $3.90 for foreign. Lead is unchanged at 3.35 cents and copper at -11. The great sale of 19,000 pieces of cot ton goods was considered satisfactory, as prices averaged but 5 to 8 .per cent, below the current market and a better general demand is expected. Print cloths sell slowly without change. Woolen mills are doing a little more though much machinery is idle and there is scarcely any buying of quali ties recently advanced. Speculation in wool turns largely to foreign, and Imports of 45,114 bales the past week and 15,246 the previous week at Boston alone, have prevented higher quotations for the better grades of do mestice. Sales at the three chief mar kets were 9.606,600 pounds. Failures for the week have -been 207 in the United States, against 282 last year and 30 in Canada, against 36 last year. ' .

Washington, April 16. The - republican sub committee on committees of the sen ate today unanimously agreed to accept. so far as it is empowered to do so, the proposition made by the , democrats for the organization,- for the senate commit tees. It was also decided to report this conclusion to the republican senatorial caucus. Accordingly, a caucus will be held at 10 o'clock Monday morning. .. The proposition provides that the republicans shall fill all the' committee places which were filled by republic n senators during the last congressi including the chalrman ahina vacated bv republicans, and that they shall be given one additional place on the appropriations committee vacated by a democrat, and that the membership of the committee on postoffices and post roads shall be Increased from nine to ten in order to give the democrats an; addi tional place en that committee. This ar rangement wii result in leaving tne re publican senators at the head of all the important senate committees, but a ma jority of the membership oi many or tnem mil be anti-republican. There are indications that the commit tee's recommendation will not be received with favor by all the republican senators. Some of them think it would have been possible for the republicans to secure the co-operation of enough populists to or ganize all the committees, securing a ma jority of the membership, as well as the chairmanships, and tnis possibility will undoubtedly be pressed upon the atten tion of the caucus and the adoption of the plan urged in preference to that recom mended by the committee. The committee, however, will take the position that the plan outlined is prefera ble on the eve of the presentation- of the tariff bill to the senate, when a fight on the organization of the committees would-be unfortunate.

' 0rk Ingnlrs Commanded by Officers of the Army Fighting Still Going on In Macedonia Turks In Possession of Foal, tlons to Prevent Advance of the Greeks (Copyrighted by The Associated Press) Elassona, Headquarters of the Turkish army., in Macedonia, Thursday evening, April 15. (Delayed In transmission) The representative of the Associated Press at the Turkish headquarters has Just seen a prisoner who was captured by the Turks during the fighting which as' taken place at Krania with the Greek ir- regulars. The man was dirty, wore tat tered clothes and had on his head a helmet upon which was the badge of the Ethnlke Hetairla, the National League of Greece. He declared that he belonged to a band of Irregulars which left Trikhala, after receiving an ovation from the In habitants of that place, under the com mand of a captain and two lieutenants of the Greek' regular army, and accompanied X.a mel!,Sa,1 oftI(ler- who waa wounded. This expedition the prisoner added, was organized by officers of the Greek regu lar army, and was openly 'ordered to in vade Turkey, not to harm the villagers and to fight the Turkish troops only. After these statements It is difficult to deny that the Greek irregulars were or ganiz.wlth?? knowledge of the Greek authorities. This confirms the inquiries made on this subject by Seyfoulah Bey; ?,? r?lcr the staff of Edham Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief, formerly an. attache of the Turkish legation at Athens, and consequently, familiar with the- personal appearance of many Greek officers, some of whom are recognized among the Insurgents. The whole matter appears to form the basis for a grave ac cusation against Greece's good faith The reporter of the Associated Press has visted the greater part of the fron tier line in this district and after inspect ing all the passes. Is convinced that the Turks hold such strong positions that the Greeks will never be able to enter Turk ish territory in force. In fact, the corre spondent cannot even imagine the Greeks will make an attempt to do so. while on the other hand, the Turkish to-chief could send a mass of troops Into Greece by several routes and easily cap ture Larlssa. (Copyright by The Associated Press.) Larissa, ' Headauarters Army in Thessaly, April 16. Severe ; fight ing una utturreu in Macedonia between the Greek Irregulars and the Tnrwh forces. The column of irregulars sent to the right from PigaVitZa. after hnvino- In. vested and captured Sitovon, continued its aavance towara itritudes. Pllsia and Kourduzl, with orders to hold Kourduzi at all costs, as it commands the right ap proach to Grevena, the objective point. This column, commanded by Chiefs Zer mos and Luzzo. attacked Krltndea Tues day. The place was defended by two companies of Turks. After a severe fight, during which eighty Turks were killed and twentyrfive "wete taken prisoners, the position was capturea Dy the Greeks, who also obtained possession of 150 rifles and a quantity of cartridges. 'ine insurgents, however, have suffered severe check in another direction. A strong force 'of Turkish troons from Te- covon, with a number of mountain guns, advanced on Krania, which had previous ly Deen capturea py tne tireeks, and at tacked the 400 irregulars of Greece, who occupied an " entrenched position. It is reported that the fighting was -arocinus on both sides. The insurgents eventually were compelled jto retreat north to the mountains. Some of them, however, suc ceeded in breaking through the Turkish lines and escaped to Baltino, the town just across the frontier in .Macedonia, first captured by the Greek irregulars and used by them as a depot for provi sions and ammunition. The accounts given by the refugees of the Turkish losses are believed to be ex aggerated. They say that 265 Turks were killed, while the irregulars only had eight men Killed and seventeen wounded. .The leader of the Greeks operating in that direction. Chief Milonas, was among the wounded, and returned later into Greek territory with a number of the refugees. one or tne latter says that a portion of tjie Turkish force was composed of ir regulars whose dress resembles .that of the Greek Insurgents. This, it appears. enaDiea tne xurKisn force to execute a flank movement unheeded by the leaders of the Greeks. The refugee referred to blames the Greek leaders for badly hand ling their men. All the refugees bore traces of having experienced great fatigue, and it is re ported that the Ethnika Hetairia, or Na tion League, has ordered the Greek ir regulars to retreat Into Greek territory, regaramg iurtner piooasnea as useless unless the regular army of Greece sup ports the irregulars. The crown princess has arrived to take part in the work of the ambulance corps.

The use of slang has become so com mon as to cease to cause comment, among a large class of people, both, old ' and young. ,Jt is a habit to be con demned, ana one whicn girls ana-, boys Should be induced to break. It i senseless degrading and one .- which leads to a much worse habit, the use pt-profanity and obsenity. We think 'it would be well to organize an anti slang society. Boys readily learn a class of low, vulgar words an expres sions which are never heard in respecta ble circles or around the fireside. Some seem, to think these smart or remark-j ably funny, and sometimes a girl so far forgets her self-respect and maid enly purity as to be guilty, of the same.' thing. We cannot imagine a decent girl using words or expressions that, she would not use before her mother -and father. Many of the slamj phrases in common use are next to swearing, yet not quife so wicked, but they lead to worse language and fill the mind with evil thoughts. A distinguished author says:' "I resolved when I was a child - never to use a word which I could not pronounce before my -mother." 1 He grew up to-be a pure-minded father, noble and honored gentleman. A clean mouth and a pure heart will make men and women whose pu're lives shine amid the surrounding sin and darkness of life like stars 'in the twi light sky. Take any slang expression ' in common use, analyze it, arid see how utterly senseless: "Button up your mug," says one little 'boy to another. "You cheese it yourself," he responds. Who of the uninitiated could under stand that sort of language? Slang words are of tow origin, coming from the lowest depths of the race coursefthe prize fight ring, the saloon, and from sources even lower. " f - The trustees of the ' university, of .
