several engagements to speak in
Rowan tlnveeW, at Faith yesterj
day afternoon. He had only a
small audience but made an excel;
lent ''speech.-.. He took up State
matters education, the penitent
tiary andelection law and dwelt
upon thein in an interesting man-
ner. . f.
His talk was a splendid disser-
tation upon the present conditions
in the State, it was devoid of any
"inflammatory remarks, it was con
ciliatory, it was passive, mild and
k;n,i mi tho. snrnn time it was as-
sertive 'positive and convincing

HORRIBLE DEATH.
Caused by the Bursting of an Oil Can -
The Old Story, i
A
little girl, a kerosene can, a
stov
b with tire in it, a death this
is the story that comes from Lex
ington this week
rom the Dispatch we get the
following:
AVhile building a tire iri a stove
with kerosene oil on yesterday
morning, Undine, the little eight-
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
A. L. Smith, was so badly burned
as to cause her death at 10:40
olbclc last night.
She was pouring' oil on a blaze,
when the oil in the can became ig
nited and the can burst, catching
heii clothing on tire ami almost ins
moment she was in a mass o
flames. The little girl ran out of
thd house and her screams attract
ed ihe mother, who rushed to ber
rescue.
Her clothes were entirely
bu
ned off, her body badly
scq
rched, and her hair was on tire
when Mrs. Smith reached her.
lne mother s hands were se
verely burned .in endeavoring to
extinguish the flames, and the lit
tie daughter was found to bein a
horrible condition.
A physician was immediately
summoned and dressed the burns,
anil did everything possible to re
lieyc the sufferings of the little
gil. It was all in vain, however.
She had inhaled the flames and,
alter sunering agonies tor many
hours, death mercifully came to
her relief. . U
rhe funeral of Miss Undine wil
take place from the residence this
afternoon -at- 4 o'clock and the
body will be laid to rest in Lox
ington cemetery.

The comedy deals with a man
masquerading in feminine attire,

playwright and comedian, it must
be said that oth keep within due
bounds, and derive all the amuse
ment possible from the situation.
There is nothing risque about jit,
but there are ..numerous ludicrous
scenes which throughout amuse.
The company which is presenting
the farce is large and thoroughly
competent, so that taken as a
whole the "Strange Adventures of

SrECIAL DISPATCH TO THE SUN.
Washington, Sept. !. The
impression is growing that when
the terms of peace with Spain are
hnally concluded they will be
found: to include provisions for
the practical ownership or certain
control of the Philippines by the
Americans, although nothing offi
cial can be learned fnithor than
the statement of Judge Day last
night.
A member of the administration
said, regarding the control, of the
Philippines:
"There is no escape from it.
I'he American 'people '"demand it
and the conditions are such as
there can be no alternative."
Senator Freye said the idea of
holding all land secured by con
quest is growing. ;
It is believed the instruction to
the commissioners will be hard
and fast except as to the general
policy. They have the discretion
to deal with unexpected develop
ments as they occurr.
General Merritt will meet them
in- Paris. It is ex pected he w i 1 1
give the commission much infor
mation which will largely deter
mine their action. Chairman-. Day
and Senators Davis and Freye will
go to New York this afternoon
and there join Gniy and Reid.
