THE ENTERPRISE. MOOKESVILLE. N.C. Chicago bird-lovers threaten the ar rest of women who wear birds In their bonnet3 as well as milliners who sell them. If the threat Is carried out Chicago will Indeed be a breezy place for a time. Traditions are common in western Kansas of trees suddenly dying without apparent cause after having been used as gallows for lynchiugs. Many are said never to have leaved again after this experience. . A lobster trust is to be orranized in Maine. One by one the stand bys of the kitchen are relegated to the ranks of prohibitive luxuries. The great Amer ican pic trust will no doubt arrive be fore I0113 to strike the final blow, ft " ' There is not a refuse Reap in the country which is nol a mine of wealth, to be extracted for the benefit of the I'cople when wo have time to think of the matter and use the resources put lit our disposal by expert In physical science, reflects the Christian Register.

Taris has lately been testing a novel apparatus for rendering first aid. In design the contrivance is suggestive of a pillar letter box, containing a small medicine chest and a folding stretcher. Possession of these latter is obtained by breaking a glass panel In the same way as the glass of a Are Clarm post is broken when a fire en gine is called. In addition to the key cf the case, access Is gained to a tele phone inside communicating with the nmbular.ee station. President Bufflngtcn of the Illinois Sterl company la quoted as saying that In the futurs "captains of Industry" will not be 10 often as In the past pro moted from the ranks. "We want," he says, "educated young men, grad' uates from technical schools." And to Illustrate his point he says: "We have the case of President Schwab, who came Into his position without techni cal education. But he had worked al most Into It under the old school. We may believe that he would have got there under any circumstances, and It must be recognized that there are not many Schwabs in the great masses of young men. There will be Carnegies and Schwabs In the future who will rise in spite of circumstances, but In speaking to young men of modest capa city It I a mistake to impress upon them the belief that the methods of forty years ago are applicable now." Fifteen hunJred of the members of the Welsh colony established In the ep.rly sixties in the valley of the Chu pat, Patagonia, are arranging to emi grate in a body to Canada. The col ony has been a failure, to all Intents And purposes, from the start. For years the colonists suffered great dis tress, because of their Inexperience In "roughing it" snd cn Inability to adapt themselves to the climate conditions of the country. Aiihough the Chtipat car ried an enormous volume of water in Us bed the year round In front of their lands, the crops on the latter were de stroyed by drought for several seasons In succession before they discovered the value of irrigation. When the col ony finally begin to flourish the Ar gentine Republic extended its jurisdic tion over It, enforcing cons-riptlon and Imposed onerous taxes upon ths col"n Ifts, and the latter appealed O thfl Urilish government to aid them to migrate to Canada, where the Domin ion government has offered then larni. As the British government has never advanced money for f migration, her Chamberlain siijicested that'thf. nec essary funis be raised by subscription. This is now being done. Commodore Perry Retired.

NORTH CAROLINA CROPS. Review of Conditions During Past Week. The past week lias been faMy fa vorable for agricultural operatioas. Interest centers in the extent to which the drought has been broken, and It appears that fears of severe drought have been relieved over a large portion 0f the State by gen erous shower which occurred at some point w ether on almost every day during the week. The rainfall of the 13th and 14th was largest In amount and general over the western half of the State, but elsewhere the rainfall was irregularly distributed and in sufficient in amount. Crops are still suffering for lack of moisture lu at least a dozen eastnrn counties. A severe hail storm occurred on the 13th. with some damage to crops and truit In the following counties: Vance, Person, Alamance, Granville, Nash and Robeson. While low tem peratures previa for three davs which ';'ueflte.Y mp!dtty of growth, ind ahww'i the sDroutiiiK of cotton seeda, the average for the week was slightly above normal. In very few counties was the rainfall heavy enough to Interrupt farm work; crops continued clean, weil cultivated c.a.1 flourishing. Chopping cot'oa is well advanced in the central-south portion, and has begun in the north. Late planted has not come up to good stands, on ac count of drought and recent cool nights, especially in the eastern por tion, where some replanting is neces sary. Corn is in excellent condition and is being cultivated everywhere; there are very few reports of bad stands .but much compVaVnt of dam age by hull worms on low lands. In many counties favorable rains en abled excellent progress to be made In transplanting tobacco, but in oth ers the work is still delayed, and can not be finished much before June 1st. Drought killed many plants in th eastern dlBtrlet where a full stand has not been sectlred, Peanuts ar being planted as rapidly as possible and are coming up nicely; rice doing well. Wheat and oats are run nlng up, but heads are small, an plants are so thin that even If heai are well nlled. only a poor crop can ho expected .Spring oats are flourish lng. Truck crops and gardens are making fair growth. Irish potatoes are beginning to blnorai damage by potato bugs continues, and every ef fort should bo made by the use Insecticides to combat this pest which otherwise will continue to increase i destructiveness. Setting sweet potato sprouts Is underway. Fruit is dropping eonaiueraoiy .apparently from blignt, but in spite of this prospects remal good. Pastures have improved.

COAL MINE HORROR. Nearly 200 Men and Boys Entombed at Fralerville, Tennessee. PROBABLY EVtRV LIFE WAS LOST Gas Exploded and Portion of Slate Roof Caved Ventillation In Mine Was Defective. Coal Cnekv Turtri, Special. The Worst disaster iu the history of Ten nessee iniuiun occurred at t:30 b'elock Monday morning, when be tween 175 and 225 men arid boys met Instant death at th? mine two miles Vest of town as a result of a gas ex plosion. Out of the large number of men and boys who went to work In the morning, developments at 10 o'clock at nltfht show that only one Is alive, end he is So badly injured that he cannot live. This man was Vm. ibigav an rjjed Englishman, who Wii!, a road man iu the mine and was blown out of the entrance by the force of the explosion. One hundred and seventy-five miners were checked in for w:.r!t. In addition to these were boys who acted as helpers and drivers, roadmen and others, to the number of perhaps GO . Kratervllle. Mine Is the oldest mine In the Coal Creek district, having been opened in 1S70. It is fully three miles from the mine's opening to the point, where tlie men Were at YtrorR. They had not been at work long before the terrible explosion occurred. There was a fear ful roar and then flames shot from the entrance and the air shaft. News of the disaster spread like wild fire, but as soon as possible ,two rescuing parties were started in, one at the main entrance, the other through Thistle Mine, which adjoins, and In which no men were at work. The Thistle party were unable to make any headway, as the gas stifled the workers. The FraterViilo party Went fully two miles under the earth, until a heavy fall of slate Was crtcountered. At this barrier the men worked like Emions, hoping against hope that those beyond might bo safe. The scenes at tho mouth of the mine while the workers were within, were beyond description. Business had been suspended In Coal Creek and all its mines ,as soon as the news of the disaster became known, and men, women, children, gathered around the Fraterville entrance. Wo men were wild with grief. All day the rescuers toiled at the slate obstruc tion and not until 5 o'clock this even ing did the force gain an entrance through it. I'p to that hour only five dead bodies had been recovered and hope was still high that many with in were safe. The hopes of the living were doomed, for when once the rescuers could enter and proceeded, they walked through a continuous tomb of death. There was no sign of life .Every man had perished, they believed, although it will be some time before all the rooms can be en tered. Eight dead bodies were first recovered nnd these were sent to Coal Creek. Twenty-six more were soon found. They were not disfigured beyond Identification and each corpse as it was borne from the mouth of tho gigantic tomb was surrounded--byJ.to- cager crowds of relatives and men who were entombed. The mine was not on fire, except In remote portions, and all bodies were easily reached. i,6oo Dead In St. Vincent. Washington, Special. Secretary Hay has received the following cable gram from Consul McAllister, at Barbadoes, dated today: "Sixteen hundred deaths at St. Vin cent; 4,000 destitute. Immediate wants are supplied.

WAS APPROPRIATELY OBSERVED Much Enthusiasm Shown on the Oc caslon - The New Constitution Went Into Operation. Havana, By Cable. The natal day of tho republic of Cuba found Havana ar rayed like a Queen, to att'dit the com ing of her lord. She seemed re-Ifivestcd for the occasion with the dignity of the prosperous days of her power and wealth: The decorations were universal. In sums rases men had worked all night bv the ligHt. of torches to com plete eiabgrate designs. There was not a-residence, pretentious Of humble, that did not btrnr v.n its quaint fa cade some emblem in hoiiCr of the event. The many arches erecUa at the entrances of plazas by political so cieties), fraternal clubs, and various civil organizations nf the city, but had an air of real grandeur. The scaffold ing was covered with canvas paintd in imitaUim f marble and from a dis tance the illustofl w completed. Na ture seemed in harmony with the spirit of the festivities. The parks Were lit- nrsllv aflame with tropical flower, and ,-U.V4ttllfil.sky above might have been chisselled Out of turqaisTAwve every red-tiiefl roof rose a Cuban flag. The wboie citV Setinisd suddenly buried be neath a forest of waving banners. The decorsti'ms along the water front were exceedingly lavish and all the shipping In the harbor was dresSed In gala at tire. Tl! majority of the ships flew the American ensigli at the main, with the Cuban colors at the fore Oi' ffiitxen. Tho United States armored cruiser Brook lyn which was to take Ur.ral Wood away, and the steamer. Mprro Casi." of the Ward Line, on whicli th1? fwinps were to embark ,as well as the foreigii warships which had been sent by their governments to be present at the birth of the new republic, were dressed with streams of plgnal flags, fore and aft, man-of-war fashion: The American colors which were to be" hauled down in a few hours, still floated above the grim walls of the fortress which guard the entrance of the harbor. Not anoth er bit of color showed upon them. Thd early morning was cool and delight ful and the entire population, re-enforced by thousands of visitors, wa3 abroad soon after daylight. AU was animation and expectancy. The streets were swarming with people and were filled with a ceaseless din. Much curi osity was arotised by a statute of 'free donV1 which had been raised during the night in CeHtral Park, upon the pedestal where for centuries a statue of Quoen Isabella had stood; During the morning a bountiful breakfast was given to several thousand poor chil dren by Mr. Tayne, of Boston, who has sassed the winter in Havana for many years. The actual transfer of the con trol of the Island occurred exactly at noon, Havana time, which Is 12:30 p. m., Washington time. Those invited to tho ceremony Included, besides the American officers and the visiting war ships, the foreign consuls: Wm. Jen niugs Bryan, and a few other specially invited guests. AMERICAN FLAGS LOWERED. - Senor Palma attached his signature to the document of transfer as Presi dent of the Republic, after an exchange of congratulations and the veteran, General Gomez, ascended to the roof of the palace. He was Instantly recog nized and met with a great demonstra tion of welcome. General Wood himself undid the halyards from tho flag staff and lowered the American colors. As they fluttered down, the cavalry below saluted their flag and like an echo of the cheers that arose, came thtj dis tant boom of one of the great guns cf Cabanas fortress, across the bay. It was followed by another and an other, until forty-five shots bad been fired, one for each State In ths Union. As ths first gun spoke the flags on Moro Castle and those on the Santa Clara and Punta fortresses were low ered. The Jurisdiction of the United States had ended. THE FIVE-BARRED SIGNAL STAR RED FLAG RAISED. In the mean time a Cuban flag had been bent on the halyards oT Die palace flarstflff. nnd by his own hand. Gen eral Wood raised it, as an act of the 1'nited States, General Gomez assist ing him. As tho flag flow free, the etreets below fairly wave with the cheer that arose. It was caught up by the people on the roofs and rolled over the city. Again the cavalry below sa luted, and again tho guns of Cabanas spoke, this tlmo with a naUonal salute of 21 guns. The bands stationed on the plaza, at Cabanas and at ?"al?on crashed out with pride of country .and tho revenue cutters and battleships in the harbor thundered Ihe strength of the war aR the signal ship hoisted the flag of Cuba to Its masthead and be Stowd upon It the hor.irs due to the nations. The ensigns of Great Britain and Italy had recognized the flag. AMERICANS DEPART. The cavalry wheeled and marched to the wharf where they Immediately em barked on the Mcro Castle. Goneral Wood and his r.djutarjt jymcraU-Colo-- re! srott wilh two aides, after a last exchange of good wishC3, were driven to the pier where they entered a launch and were flicked away to the Brook lyn. Both ships ?ot tinder way as soon is possible and steamed out of Ihe harbor. The man at the taffrail of the Brooklyn was kept busy dipping tVs Cag In answer to tho salutes of tbe thousands upon the water front who watched her depart. A large flotilla of Various water craft escorted the Brooklyn to sea. While this was occur ring at Havana, a similar scene was being enacted at Santiago where Gen eral Whiteside st noon turned over the luthorlty to his successor snd snllcl sway with two troops of the Eighth Cavalry. Only eight batteries of Amer ican artillery remained on Cuban "yoil. A chapter of American history was ended and the first chapter of the his tory of the Cuban republic begun. STREETS TACKED AND RO0F3 CROWDED. Owing to the limited space the people were to have no sight of the ceremony which was to contribute them a na tion before tbe world, but outside tbe palace they were to witness a specta cle which would stir their pulses, for they were to see the beloved five-barred and single barred flag which Cespedes first threw to the breezes in IsOS, at the opening of the ten years' war rais ed by Uie act of the United Slates abovo the palace. Many arrived before the palace with the rising sun, mid some even earlier. A .ortion of the p'.a;a was kept clear by the poli- e vj-y early. The remainder was packed wit's Mexican Hustang Liniment don't stay on or near the mrfass, bat, goes In through ths nwules and tissues to the bone and drives out all soreness aud uiilammatios. For a Lame Back, Sore Muscles, ' or, in fact, all LamejiessaiadQrewpv ness of your tody there is nothing i ; that will drive out the pain and in- i i flammation so quickly as " Mexican ; Mustang I If you cannot reach the spot your-1) self get some one to assist you, for , it is essential that the liniment be ?

In fact, it is a flesh healer and pain killer no matter whoor what the patlentis. was to take tlm baclt to the United States. Shortly before 11?80 a. m., thosa who were to witness the ceremony be gan to arrive, In carriages, through a street kept clear by the pollen. All ihe naval offlcrrs were srrnyed In full uniform.- The Cubans suf rally wore blaex frock suits, whits waist coiih and silk hats. They formed a distinguish? 1 looking assemblage they ngathered in the audience chamber. Tho ceremony Itself was brief and simple. After for mal greetings, General Wood read the documentary transfer prepared by the War Department, pledging the new (OWDmcnt to immediately croclaitn ths wnstltutlon and tho Piatt amend ment contained In the appendix and to undertake all obligations assumed by tho United States with respect to t'.uhH, by the treaty of Paris, General Wood ai:d delivered the followlag let ter: PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S LET TER. "White House, Washington, D. C, May 10, 1S02. "To the President and Congress cf the Republic of Cuba: "Sir: On the 20th of this month the military governor of Cuba, will, by my direction, transfer to you the central and government of the Island of Cuba, to be thenceforth cxercifed under the provisions of the constitution adopted by your constitutional convention, as cn that day promulgated, and ho wll! people so thick that the ground seemed alive. Soon all the side streets running. Into the plaza were choked Into a solid mass of humanity, and every door and window fronting the sqaure was walled In with faces, white and black, old and young, male and female. Then crowds sought tbe roofs, overflowing evety building that commanded t view ot the flag staff on the palace. It vaa a sight to live forever In memory, FLAG RAISING PRELIMINARIES. Drawing up below In the open space of the plaza were eight dismounted troops of the Seventh Cavalry, wltlj sabres at their heels.
