RECEIVED NO PAY.
Congressmen Who Could Not Draw
Their Salaries.
Washington, March 9. Notwithstand
ing the action of the House in refusing
to consider the report of the Committee
on Judiciary m the case of Represen
tatives Wheeler, .obbins, Colinists they
were not members of the Fifty-fifth
Congress and wil not sign the warrants
for their pay. The Speaker has steadily
nuMiitamfd they were not entitled to
their seats, and on this account declined
to recognize General Wheeler when the
latter attempted to speak last Saturday.
General Wheekar drew no pay from the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House from
the time he entered the army. He
preferred his army pay as a Major Gen
eral.
On tlwi other hand, Colonel Oolsou,
Colonel Campbell, and Captain Robbins
preferred their pay as members of Con
gress. Unfortunately for them, how
ever, they could not get it, for the
Speaker declined to sign their war
rants. During a recess the warrants are
signed by the Clerk of the House, and
the three named during the time re
ceived their pay without trouble. The
Speaker, who signs the warrants when
Congress is in session, declined to sign
those for their December pay. and they
have not been paid anything for the
late session. The terms of all three
have expired, aa they were not re-lect-ed,
so they stand a poor chance of ever
getting their pay for December, Jan
uary and February.
General Wheeler is not worried, as
his pay as Major General is more than
that as members of the House. He does
nottfSCsh to draw his pay as a member
while in the army, and as he will pro
bably remain In service until 1901, at
least, he will fare very well without It.

tressing death of Conductor Dickenson

DR. TRACY'S LECTURE.
Dr. Tracy at Metropolitan Hall again
to-night The powerful lecture, "The
River of Death, or the Mississippi of
Intemperance," delivered by him last
night, and most interestingly portray
ed by the flash-light pictures accom
paniament, afforded the audience one
of the most instructive and pleasing
entertainments they have witness this
season. Dr. Tracy, who is wrapped up
in this, his life work, with the one great
central purpose of doing good, makes no
charge for his services individually, but
he does ask those who are able to assist
in the small way. A collection of not
less than a dime is taken at the door.
As usual, the evening'B entertainment
will include humorous and sublime
flash-light pictures from the cineograph,
either preceding or succeeding the illus
trations accompanying the lecture proper.

NO CHANGE NOW

Uutil June
The State Board of Agrii ulture wll
Intel this afternoou ul i M m the Ag .
ricultural building, 'file ujcni0.'rs aru
here and also uiauy applicauts for
places. The question before the board
is nrst, whether changes will be made
now or whether uction will be postponed
until the June meeting of the board.
A conference of the new -jicuibers of the
board was held in the Yarboro House
this morning and it was practically
agreed, it is stated, uot to interfere
with the present force just now.
The reusons given for this art- that
that such action would probably entail
unnecessary expeuse. That is if John
it. Smith and Ramsey were removed
they would refuse to surrender, claiming
thut their terms did not expire until
June. Then suit would have to be
brought and the matter could not be
settled in the courts before June, when
their places would become vacant any
way.
'these are the reasons given. The
statement is also made on good author
ity thut the other employes are not
likely to be turned out now if the heads
of the department cannot be touched.
This board will have many places to
fill when it does go into an election.
Beside a secretary of agriculture, three
fertilizer inspectors, the State chemists,
curator of museum, the usher, the watch
man and other places are under this
board.
Mr. T. K. Brnner will doubtless be
secretary of the department and Mr.
Brimley will continue as curator of the
museum, which place he so ably fills.
The fusion hoard two years ago tnrn
e ilout some of the employes before their
terms expired.

PASTOR ATTACKS THE BIB B.
Applauded for Dwlarimg the Infallib ' y
of the Work.
New York, Morch 7. At the Moi ay
meeting of the Methodist ireacl rs.
Rev. S. P. Cadman, pastor of the i,t
nipolitan Temple, read a critii-isti of
the Bible before 400 clurgynieu. In
taking up his subject the preacher sta
ted the propositiou which he w ul I
prove: "That the inherency and tin ic
fallibility of the Bible are no longer pos
sible! of belief among reasoning men."
The Bible, he said, was compiled much
us is any other book. It was written
from the records and witnes.se of the
time. It has Ibeen impossible tn drier
mine the authorship of much of the O d
Testament. Half of its pages, said M
Cadman, were of unknown authorshu
The same was, in a measure, true oi
the New Testament. Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John differed in quoting words
said to have been pronounced by Christ
uiion a given occasion. Parall l pas-a
ges were not alike.
There were means of salvation mu-
side of and beyond and before the B bie.
God had saved souls before the PiM
was written. That must be -on--.J-.sl
by every one. The Bible was ai.
agency, the Church was an agency, itie
ministry was an agency.
The church had dabbled too unirli in
thel distant streams of theology. It had
examined the streams, but not the
source. The ministry had takeniin too
much time in unraveling knots f-f
theology to the neglect of God himself.
He attacked the miracles, and when at
concluded a mapority of the ministers
those of the younger class warmly p-
plauded.
BUYING LANDS IN CUBA.
General Rosser to Offer Small Farms to
Virginia Growers.
By Telegraph to The Times-Visitor.
. Charlottesville, Va., March 9. Ge .or
al Thomas L. Rosser, who left this ity
early last month for Cuba, writer to
friends in Virginia that he is bum?
a large boundary of the best toba.co
lands in the province of Pinai del K o,
which he proposes to offer to the n
bacco growers of Virginia in small
farms. He says that Cuba is the easiest
place he ever saw in which to n:aki
a living, and that if the island were :iov,
as it was when Columbus found it, L
would advise everybody to go there.
While the miserable Spaniards I
poisoned its harbors, the interior is olio
fresh and uncontaminat-?d. "Everything
one wants of tne soil is given; no fer
tilizer is needed, and two crops of to
bacco are raised on tin; same iand an
nually, and 300 bushels of corn. 1 have
driven through thousands of acres of
pineapples, bananas and cane, which
appear to grow without work, for I
have never seen auybody working
them."

Wisconsin as, being the West. The in
habitants of Wisconsin, ttcorfi to con

that the only real Westerners in the

ing the printer into commercial use Pro
fessor Rowland said:
"The instrument has now been suffi
ciently perfected, and has been subjected
to the necessary test to insure the grant
ing of a full patent for the complete pro
tection of the inventor's rights. It has
been deemed best by those who will suh
scribc to the stock of the corporation
which is to be formed to place the printer
ou the market and introduce into general
use by telegraph companies and others
to first complete the details of issuing flic
patents before organizing the company."
The following gentleiiH-n, who by ex
animation have completely satisfied them
selves of the practicability and great
commercial value of Dr. Rowland's in
vention, will be subscribers to the stock
of the company: Messrs. Bernard N.
