from irregularities in the optical con

tne x. M. C. A. and Messrs. Clarke &
Gardner should long hold the grati
tude of this people for the incompar
able pleasure they afforded in bring
ingthe Scalchi Concert Company here
we cannot recall that an audiene
here were ever entertained with such
entrancing vocal music. The vocali
zation was superb; the instrumentation
the reverse solely the fault of the
piano, not the performer. If the con
cert people would carry with them a
small orchestra they would not have
the excellence of their own talents
marred by inferior accompaniments.
In one of the duets in the last act of
the programme the piano entirely
parted company with the voices of
Mme. Scalchi and Signor Canzio.
Mme. Scalchi, in our judgment, is a
marvel. She is classed as a contralto
but the extraordinary compass of her
voice gives it range comprehending all
classifications. We were much taken
with Signor Ca lio's renditions. The
light defects that could be notice J
were due to the effects of a Texas trip
during the past cold weather. Sig
nor Albert!, the baritone, has a
voice of peerless depth and richness;
and of Mile. Noldi, the only American
in the troupe, we haven't space for the
encomiums she deserves. It would be
a pleasure to extend the critique if
time and room were at command. We
can say, in truth, that having seen
Verdi's immortal "Trovatore" sang
more than once on the famous btage of
the New Orleans French opera house
in bygone days we have never heard
the lines as well interpreted as by the
Scalchi company last eveuing. Even

The Hu-man-lc Shoe for Men
A new era has dawned. Present day
humanity demands comfort and qual

thi9 demand we have at last procured
a humane shoe'for men a shoe con

Why We Manufacture.
The cotton crop of the South when
sold in a raw state is about ten million
bales. This at 6 cents a pound, which
makes $30 per bale, makes, in tarn, a
total of three hundred million dollars.
This same'eotton sold as cloth would
bring an average of 24 cents a pound.
Thus, by manufacturing, the South can
get for its crop of cotton SI. 200, 000, 000
JnaLAnd of 300.(XX).000. This would be
a profit of 1900,000,000 on a $300 000.

Manila, March 29 The town of Bo
cave has been taken by McArthur, who
found that the insurgents did not in
jure the railroad bridge, so rapid was
their flight. He is now within eight
miles of Malolos. For the first time
since the war began the insurgents gave
open battle today, about a thousand
of them advancing openly to meet the
Americans in the plains beyond Marl
alao, commanded by Aguinaldo in
person, assisted by Generals Maria,
Sorres and Pachecho. As the line ad
vanced across the plain, the Ameri
cans reserved their fire till the insur
gents were within four hundred yards.
Then as the sudden roar of the
American artillery and musketry rang
out. they broke arml ran. Officers were
seen trying vainly to stop them, but
the rout could not be stopped as long
as they were in range of our bullets.
Prisoners who have been captured de
clare that officers stand behind the
lines with heavy whips lashing the un
willing natives into fighting. These
lashes are found upon the prisoners
and dead Filipinos. The prisoners
add that there are executions in the
ns urgent army every day of men for
refusing or showing unwillingness to
fight.
The Americans advanced three miles
today. before ten, driving the rebels
beyond Bocave, to the westward of
Bulacanon, on the railroad to Malo

Dakotan were wounded.

CRUELTY AND IDEOLECT
To Dumb Animals A Hungry Horse
In The Rain Last Night.
The Telegram has often tried to en
courage the organization of a society
for the prevention of cruelty to ani
mals in Greensboro, but so far it
seems. that no steps have been taken In
that direction. Horses and other
beasts of burden Buffer daily on our
streets from the neglect or cruelty of
their Inhuman drivers and the need of
of such a society becomes more and
more evident as the days- go by. A
case in point is that of Dave Browa
He came to town yesterday morning,
hitched his horse on lower South Elm
and went to a barroom. He remained
in a drunken, condition all day and
his horse stood tied until this morning
having gone without food and stood
in the cold rain all last night. An of
ficer this morning took the hungry
animal to a livery stable to be cared
for until the owner pays for its care.
Brown himself was drunk again this
morning and was taken to the lock-up.
It is understood that Officer Jordan
now has a pair of mules which he
found last week after they had gone
without food for more than a day.
Something should be done.
Cornell 9, Oak Ridge o.
The Oak Ridge vs. Cornell baseball
game yesterday afternoon was cut off
at the end of the third Inning by a
bad rain and wind storm which came
up suddenly. When the game stopped
the score stood: Cornell 9; Oak Ridge
The game game opened with Cor
nell at the bat. Jennings, Oak Ridge's
best man, fumbled often and gave
Cornell 9 runs in the first inning.
Oa'c Ridge was shut out but gradually
began playing better ball, shutting
Cornell out in the third Inning and
promising to make the rest of the game
exceedingly interesting had the rain
not interfered.

ELECTION OF U. S. SENATORS
By a Direct Vote of the People A
Campaign For This Purpose To
Be Begun at Richmond.
Special to Thi Telegram.
Washington, March 29 At the de
partment of agriculture it was stated
the other day that nothing of a very
definite nature has yet been decided
upon as to the investigations to be
made upon the subject of the blight
in the Sea Island Cotton. The depart
ment intends to send an expert to va
rious parts of the southern states, in
the cotton growing section, to study
the causes, but as the appropriation
for this purpose made during the last
session of congress is not available
until some time in July, nothing will
be done for some time yet, probably
not before June. It was stated by Dr.
True, of the agricultural department,
who is familiar with the subject that
when the investigations-areentered in
to the department will in addition to
trying to ascertain the causes of the
blight to Sea Island Cotton, also
strive and discover so e remedy to
prevent a recurrence in the future.
In conducting this investigation the
department will also engage in consid
erable field work
It was ascertained at the agricultu
ral department that a valuable bulle
tin is now in the course of preparation
on the subject of the cotton generally,
n which improved methods in cotton
growing will be treated. This work,
which is nearly completed will be in
corporated in the annual yearbook of
the department of agriculture. In
speaking of the yearbook, it was stat
ed by one of the officials that he be
lieved that it will prove to be this
year more interesting to agriculturists
of the country than heretofore, and
the department is sparing no efforts
to attain this. The work will be ready
for distribution about the first of July.
The demand for the yearbook is be
coming very large, and applications
are already beginning to come in at
the department.
There seems to be considerable doubt
as to the movements of the "Raleigh."
At the navy department the statements
of the officials seem to indicate that
there is a difference of opinion. From
the best information obtainable, how
ever, it is thought the vessel will be
ordered to New York, and from there
to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She
may then be sent to Norfolk, and from
Norfolk to Wilmington, North Caro
lina. Virginia democrats in the city say
that the meeting to be held at Rich
mond next May for the purpose of be
ginning a campaign for the election of
United States senators by a direct
vote of the people, will be largely at
tended, and responses are already
being received from all over tbe state.
The movement, according to the in
formation received here, is not intend
ed, as hinted at, to defeat the re-elec
tion of Senator Martin, but it is be
lieved by the leaders that a vast
majority of the democrats of Virginia
are in favor of the nomination of his
successor by a popular democratic
primary, instead of through the an
tiquated methods of a democratic cau
cus. Col. R. Walton Moore, of Fair
fax Court House, who has been promi
nently mentioned in connection with
the Virginia senatorship, and who is
one of the leaders in the conference to
be held next May, was in the city yes
terday registering at the Metropolitan
Hotel. Col. Moore believed that the
meeog in May will.be successful, and
that tJhcampaign to be opened will be
a vigorous one. Representative Jones,
of Virginia, was also in the city Mon
day, but he says that he knows noth
ing of the movement more than has
appeared in the daily press of the
country. Mr. Jones has been men
tioned as a senatorial candidate, but
he is not an aspirant to the seat Ik Id
by Senator Martin in any sense of the
word.
Special service has been discontin
ued at Wendell, Wake eounty, from
Eagle Rock, from March 31st, 1899.
Postmasters have been commissioned
