BRYAK IN INDIANA APOSTLE OP 10 TO 1 SPEAKS AT LA rOItTD AXD SOUTH BE.D, And Incidentally Gives Another Ex- ample of Insincerity and A mni- ins Inconsistency. SAYS SHVEE IS A DEAD ISSUE YET BARELY TWO MOSTIIS AGO HE DEMANDED A 10-TO-l TLAXK, And Was Willing to Cruelly Every Sound Bioney Man on m Silver Cross Trusts and Expansion. SOI7TII BEND, Ind., Sept. 1. Mr. Bryan to-day made his second brief visit of the campaign to Indiana. He arrived at this point a few minutes after 4 o'clock this afternoon, speaking briefly at Laporte en route, and here more at length to-night. He "was enthusiastically received at both places and hi audiences were large and at tentive. At South Bend Mr. Bryan was taken In charge by a committee of leading Demo crats, and was escorted td the residence of Hon. B. F. Shively, where he was in troduced to members of the reception com mittee and others. At Laporte Mr. Bryan's arrival was an nounced by firing- of anvils and the shouts of men, women and children at the rail- J road station. A platform had been erected Wur the depot, and from this Mr. Bryan talked for about ten minutes. He said: "If a Republican tell3 you that the gold standard is good, ask him why his Presi dent s-.:nt a commission to Europe since the last election to get rid of a gold stand ard; if any Republican tells you that the greenback is bad and ought to . be re tired, ask him why his party did not dare to' make that assertion in the last cam paign. If a Republican tells you that a lermanent debt is a good thing, you tell him that in all the campaigns of the past the Republican pSty has been bragging about how it ild off the national debt, and yet that to-day the Republican party stands for a currency system that can only be permanent on the theory that the national debt shall be permanent, for you cannot hate bank notes secured by gov ernment bo nils unless there are government bonds to teure them." This suggestion called out applause, and Mr. Bryan continued: "If any Republican tells you that the trust is a good thing, you ask, him why the Republican platform denounce? the trust and if the Republican hays that the trust is a bad thing you ask him why the Repubiican administration allowed more trusts to be organized during the la3t three years than had been organ ized in all the history of the country before that time. It does not matter which sidy the Republican takes you can confront hirn with the questions that he cannot answer; for if he desires to defend the trusts, you can point to the Republican platform adopted at Philadelphia which denounced trusts, and if he dares to denounce the trusts you can point to the record of his administration that has failed to destroy the trusts." Mr. Bryan also pointed out weapons to be used to meet other Republican argu ments. "If a Republican tells you," he said, "that it is a good thing to have a until this campaign the Republicans have always pointed to the advantage of not having a large standing army; remind him that when a Republican President went Into office, we had an army of 25,000 sol diers and that that. same President asked for a standing army of 100,000 soldiers in December, 189s, four times the size of the standing army when he was inaugurated, and then remind him of the fact that if we are to have imperialism we will never have a smaller army than we have now. The same spirit that leads us to take posses sion of the Philippines and govern them without their consent and tax them with out representation will lead us to sieze any othr lands weaker than we are. "If a Republican tells you that imperial Ism Is the same as the expansion that Jefferson sought for you tell him that Jeff erson wanted to expand the limits of the Republic and to build up the territory into States, and that he wanted the inhabitants to be citizens and to share in the guaran tees of the Constitution, while the Repub lican party has already enacted a law in regard to Porto Rico that rests upon the theory that outside of the forty-five States the President and Congress have power as unlimited as any despot ever exercised in the history of the world. Applause. "If any Republican attempts to justify the Porto Rican policy you tell him that when we found the people of Porto Rico they had representatives in the Spanish legislature, and that we now refuse to give them representatives in our legisla ture. When we found the Porto Ricans they had frc trade with their mother country, but now we refuse to give them free trade with the United States, although Ihey must swear allegiance to our tlag." Here Mr. Bryan was reminded that his time was brief. He close! as follows: "But I am told that there is only one minute left in th. time I have to speak to you, and in that minute I uant to suggest two questions for you to use with those who defend the imperialistic policy in the Phil ippine. Ask them whether the Filipino is to be a citizen or a subject. If he is to be a citizen he must share with us in the des tiny of this Nation. If he !s to be. a sub ject we must change our form of govern ment. I do not want him as a citizen; I don't want him as a subject; I want to give him ir.deindence and let him work out his own destiny." Cheering. ''SILVER IS A DEAD ISSUE. So Say the DrmnRORlc and Ar-?h Ex ponent of Sixteen it One. SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Sept. 1. The Dem ocratic meeting at this place to-night was held on the courthouse grounds. Mr. Bryan expressed preference for an outside meeting, notwithstanding rain was threat ened, and his wishes were granted. The people stood in the wet gTass and mud, and listened closely throughout the entire meeting. Mr. Shively presided, but he con tented himself with a mere'presentation of Mr. Bryan. Tho Bryan speech wa3 a general discus sion of the Issues of the campaign, hut spe cial attention was paid to the "paramount Issue," which, he Insisted, was the ques tion of imperialism. Ho insisted that the Republicans were doing all they could to evade It, doing all In their power to con vince the country that finance was the principal Issue, notwithstanding" their pre vious declaration that silver is a dead Is sue. As for himself, he had never doubted that the position of the Kansas City plat form was correct, but, while this was true, it was still a fact that the tendency to im perialism was of more Immediate concern thnn the question of finance. In that prob lem was comprised the perpetuity of the Republic whether we should have a re publican government or not. Mr. Bryan also discussed the question of trusts, the increase of the army and other points, contending that the Repub licans had been on both sides of these ques tions. He declared that if the Republicans should win at the next election there would never again be a standing army of less than PXVXO men. Already the increase had been fourfold, and the fact that the in crease had not been made permanent was due to the Democrats. "If," he said, "we are to maintain an imperial policy we must have a large army; If we are to get rid of the army we must get rid of the principle which makes It neces.ary. If we are to go on the theory that we t-hall either con quer trad or force our religion uion other nations we have got to have a big army to do this." Tho truth was, he said, that the Republicans, who had inveighed so murh-against a doublt standard in mony wrre trying to create a double standard in Government; they were contending for de mocracy here, and for t??lld despotism In the islands of the sia.-. Mr. Bryan argued that the United States was without any legitimate title in the Philippines. Certainly, he continued, we could not have acquired them either by force or by purchaseas neither course was legitimate under our form of government or in accordance with our laws. He elab orated his former discourse on the question whether a Filipino citizen was a citizen or a subject, and repeated the statement that the Republican party had never formulated any policy for the government of these people. The Spooner resolution was the most definite formulation on this subject. Interpreting this resolution, Mr. Bryan said that it meant that "when the war is over nobody knows when it will be the President will do something nobody knows what, and will keep at it nobody knows how long until Congress does something nobody can guess what, except Republic ans." lie added: "Aren't you ashamed of that policy?" Mr. Bryan defended his course In advo cating the ratification of the peace treaty, saying that he considered.it preferable to have the treaty ratified to having another one made by the same'parties. believing it better to eliminate Spain from the question entirely. He had at the same time advo-. cated the adoption of the Bacon resolution. "Republicans who had opposed that resolu tion," he said, "must take the responsi bility for all the bloodshed In the Philip pines for the loss of 2,000 Americans who had been killed or who had died there. The contractors, those who carried live soldiers to the Philippines and brought back dead soldiers may find It profitable, but the taxpayers will not so regard it. The policy Is neither just nor politic." "Deny, if you dare, the doctrine that all men are created equal in the Philippines and you are going to find yourselves un able to maintain it here," he salth "Once destroy the doctrine and you are all at sea. We are in advance of other nations; our governementls the best in the world.. To change to the European method is not progress, but is to go backward." As for himself he" was satisfied with the progress that had been made and he would not ex change the American government for all the empires that ever existed. "If the President of the United States can haul down the American flag in Cuba, two hundred miles away," Mr. Bryan said, "he certainly can haul it down in the Phil ippines, 7,000 miles away. Furthermore, if the flag can never be hauled down how is it-to be gotten out of Peking. If we became the owners of the eight million Filipinos when we entered Manila we must have become the owners, of 400,000,000 Chinese when General Chaffee entered the Chinese capital. Kings and Emperors may laugh If we should surrender the Philippines, but let them. It is not the first time they have laughed at us. Republicans, you want the flag to be-feared," he said, amid cheers, "but I want it loved." and wlt.h a few words of exhortation to do their duty as they saw it, he closed after a talk of an hour and a half. When Mr. Bryan concluded the crowd called for Mr. Shively. He responded briefly saying that the United States was tending toward the position occupied by France, which, while professing to be a republic, was still a miltary government. He charged an alliance between the United States and Great Britain and likened the course of this country in the Philippines to that of British in South Africa. Mr. Bryan remained here to-night and will return to Chicago early to-morrow morning. FOR WHICH tVE ARE T1IAXKFI7L. Arkansas Jone Saya Bryan Will Xot Spcnk More Than Twice a Day. CHICAGO. Sept. 1. W. J. Bryan arrived here at 10:30 a. m. He was accompanied only by his private secretary and some newspaper correspondents. He was met here by the officers of the Bryan Nebraska Club, and some of the officials from Demo cratic headquarters to which he was es corted.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 1. Vice Chairman Edmisten and Secretary Edgarton, of the Populist national committee, have Issued an address appealing for support of Will lam Jennings Bryan and Justifying the in dorsement of Adlal E. Stevenson as vice presidential candidate. The address says In part: "In nominating Mr. Stevenson for the vice presidency the People's party gave a sublime example of the renunciation of partisanship. We had already nominated Mr. Bryan, the standard bearer of another organization, as our candidate for Presi dent. We had nominated Mr. Towne, the brilliant young leader of the Silver Repub licans, for Vice President. Although deep ly disappointed at the failure of the Demo cratic convention to ratify this nomination, we followed the only course that seemed open to us, and for the sake of harmony and unity overlooked all mere party con siderations and made both Democratic standard bearers our own. - "In the name of humanity and for the cause of liberty, which is as sacred now as it was in any of the greater countries' struggles of the past, we call upon every people to rally to the support of the Re public in Its hour of struggle between the forces of monarchy and freedom. There are only two sides to the contest. There is no middle of the road. 'He who is not for me is against me.' He who does not give his full support to the cause of popular government is its enemy. There is no room for sides. On the one hand is the army of the people: on the other are the legions of privilege and plutocracy rule. Every man must take his position on the one side or the other. Populism was organized as a protest against the encroaching spirit of monarchy and raammonlsm. And now that success is in sight we cannot believe that any person will fail in ,hls duty, but every one of our 2,Ooo,0Y) voters will register oil election day In favor of a government of the people and for the preservation of the Republic."

PARIS IS UNHEALTHY FRENCH METROPOLIS IN A BAD SAN ITARY CONDITION, Impure Water Has Caused an Epi demic of Typhoid Fever, pnd Lars Increase In Death Rate WALDECK-E0ÜSSEATJ A JONAH TEE FRENCH FRESHER AGAIN NAR ROWLY ESCAPES SHIPWRECK. Jinny German Army Officers in Paris Treated Better Than French men in Alsace-Lorraine. Copyright, 1900. by the Associated Press. PARIS, Sept. 1. The official medical bul letin this week reveals a disquieting sani tary situation In Paris. Statistics show that. typhoid fever prevails in an almost epidemic form. There were recorded from the beginning of the year,, to the 13th of August 3,148 cases, of which 5CS resulted fatally. This is a. considerable Increase over the records of previous years. Paris is never free from this disease, but until 1S3S the number of cases for the corre sponding period did not exceed 700. More over, the figures for the last few weeks of the present year show a perceptible in crease over those of the earlier period. The prevalence and spread of typhoid are due entirely to bad water. One of the sources from which Patfs is furnished with water Is known to be infected with the typhoid bacillus, though the water from all the other sources is perfectly pure.. The au thorities, however, declared that they are compelled to utilize the contaminated source because the others are inadequate. The publication of these alarming statistics may, however, spur the responsible author ities into securing fresh sources. Mean while Parisians are recommended to boil the water they use or to drink only min eral waters. xxx M. Waldeck-Rousseau, France's prime minister, his wife and a party of friends, had an unpleasant yachting experience while staying at St. Malo this week. They sailed for a day's excursion up the Ranee to Dinan. While returning in the even ing, their boat struck a mud bank In mid stream and stuck fast. The yacht was small and had no sleeping accommodations. The party had to make the best of the situation and remained aboard throughout the night. The vessel was floated the next day. M. Waldeck-Rousseau. appears to be "a sort of Jonah, as last year, while yachting, he .narrowly escaped being wrecked on a reef outside St. Malo. The Nationalist press chaffs the premier on his yachting experience, whicn,the papers point out, is a bad augury for one guiding the ship of state. xxx Over six hundred German officers have visited the Paris exposition since April last without the slightest hindrance on the part of the French authorities. There has been some bitter comment re garding the difference between the treat ment of German officers visiting France and French officers desiring to revisit Alsace-Lorraine. The only formality re quired of the German officers is that they register themselves at the. bureau of tho military governor of Paris. One officer of very high rank and Ave superior officers were among the visitors. The remainder of the six hundred were majors, captains and lieutenants. They began to arrive soon after Emperor William's note in theReichs anzelger, recommending them to visit the exposition. Against the complaisance of the French authorities, the Parisian press calls attention to the exasperating treat ment of French officers in the annexed provinces. A case is cited where a French officer was refused permission to enter Alsace-Lorraine to bid farewell to his dying mother. A majority of the requests to enter meet with refusals, it is said, and even where they are eventually granted the formalities are interminable, often rendering the permission unacceptable. A major in the French army writes to the papers stating that he applied recently for authority to enter - Alsace-Lorraine, pointing out that he was sixty-three years of age and had retired from the army, and wished, before he died, to see his aged sis ter again and to make a pilgrimage to the graves of his father and mother In the cemetery of Colmar. The reply he received was an abrupt refusal. The Matin, com menting on this, says: "This means that the famous circular regarding the abolition of passports is nothing but a vulgar snare, issued with tho object of winning a wel come for German officers visiting the ex position, while secret orders are given the Alsatian officers to increase the severity of the regulations regarding the applica tions of French officers to visit the lost provinces." Il is admitted, however, that every fa cility Is afforded Frenchmen for visiting other parts of Germany. In fact, the amiable attentions of German functionaries are described as embarrassing. xxx Two great French centers of the manu facture of woolen goods Roubaix and Tourcoing are In the throes of financial disaster, due to reckless speculation. The wool gambling fever took hold of the busi ness houses, last summer, when wool rose steadily, without apparent reason, until in August the rrice reached the high-water mark of 6 francs, 70 centimes per kilogram. Speculators for a rise lost their heads and there w ere daily purchases of a million or a million and a half kilograms. The manu facturing business was dislocated, owing to the extraordinary fluctuations in the price of material. Abundant warnings were given that the fictitious values would lead to a slump, but they were unheeded until the collapse occurred, and wool now stands at 2 francs per kilo below the August price. The amount of wool bought blindly by Roubaix and Tourcoing firms readied the fabulous total of forty million kilos, whlih means a deficit of SO.OOO.OOO francs. Thirteen firms are already in the hands of receivers, one house losing 8,000,000 francs, and sev eral others are tottering, but efforts are being made in Paris to help them over the stile. XXX A banquet of immense proportions will be given in Paris on Sept. 22, when President Loubet will entertain all the mayors in France to celebrate the exposition. Fifteen thousand guests will sit down at tables In Immense tents, erected in the gardens of the Tuilleries. overlooking the Rue de Rivoli. The banquet will cost 500.000 francs. The president, his ministers and the exposi tion officials will be present and a gala exhibition will be held in the Sala des Fetes at the exposition in the afternoon, fol lowed at night by a fete with splendid illuminations.

After the parade Monday there will be a public reception given in Light Artillery Armory. A pro gramme of entertainment has been ar ranged covering every day of the week. Edward J. Cantwell, secretary of the as sociation, said: "Our association has im proved the service 100 per cent., doing more than the executive ability of the depart ment could accomplish. In protecting its members it has given them added interest in their work and so harmonious and bene ficial have been the results that there are very few cities in which postmasters arc not In hearty accord with the association. About the only places whfcre we find any opposition is where the postmaster is trying to convert his office into a political ma chine." SUCCEEDS GEN.

The Late Senator Goebcl's Physician 'Will Receive n Fee of $10,000. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. l.-One of the handsomest fees ever paid a general prac titioner for services in a single case will be received by Dr. J. X. McCdrmack. of Bowling Green, for his attendance on Wil liam Goebel, after he was shot at Frank fort. . Arthur Goebel, brother of the dead Governor, and his devisee under the will, has placed a claim against the estate of Governor Goebel for $10,000 for Dr. Mc Cormack's services. The wound was a mortal one and a salt solution was used to replenish the blood lost by. hemorrhage. It was injected promptly and Dr. McCormack and the other physicians worked like tro jans to insure a prolongation of the pa tient's life, although they realized that the wounded man must die. When Arthur Gcebel .arrived he requested Dr. McCor mack to remain In Frankfort with his brother and not return to his practice in Bowling Green. The doctor willingly con sented to do so and until Goebel died he worked with him night and day. Attacked While Leaving: Courtroom. LONDON, Ky., Sept. 1.

British Parliament Will Prehably Soon Dissolve and a General Election Be Ordered BOER WAR IS ABOUT OVER AND ROBERTS'S SUCCESS WILL BE USED AS A CAMPAIGN CARD. Consul Adelbert Uaj 8n?ffetted ns Ar biter In the Coming; Settlement of Transvaal Matters Copyright. 1900. by the Associated Press.l LONDON, Sept. 1. Pending the discovery of the diplomatists as to how to best wash their hands of the Chinese embarrassment, public Interest Is momentarily diverted to the Nation's private affairs, and the weari some war in South Africa, the outbreak of the bubonic plague In Glasgow, the widespread disturbances and disaffection in railway circles and the dissolution of parliament are all receiving much atten tion. It is considered evident from the speech of Rt. Hon. William St. John Brod erlck, under secretary of state for foreign affairs made on Wednesday, that the gov ernment considers the end of the war close enough to the horizon to justify looking be yond it and preparing for a general election. Therefore, an authoritative pronouncement on the subject of the dissolution of parlia ment is expected at an early date. Wheth er Mr. Broderick's anticipation that Lord Roberts's present movement will have a decisive bearing upon the length of war is justified or not, remains for the present a matter of conjecture; but there is no mis taking the intention of the government to utilize any appreciable military success and ride into office again on the back of "Bobs" who, it is expected, if all goes well, will be able to return In October and take up the duties of commander-in-chief, and incidentally, to aid in the election. Lord Roberts's emphatic commendation of Gen. Buller's" strategy at Machadodorp looks suspiciously like a desire to restore public confidence preparatory to the devolution of the future conduct of the campaign upon the shoulders upon which It originally rested. xxx In connection with the ultimate settle ment of Transvaal matters, recent arrivals from South Africa think it possible that the services of United S'.ates Consul Adelbert Hay might be advantageously utilized. "Young Hay has managed to please both the Boers and the English," said Louise de. Villlers, a kinsman of the Cape Colony chief justice, who has lately arrived, to a representative of the Associated Press. "When Hay "arrived at Pretoria public opinion had been made difficult for him by stories of his English sympathies. The Boer feeling was so intense that statements that Hay was no better than an English spy were readily believed; but he behaved with such quiet and good sense that he speedily got the respect of the Boer official class while he did not part with his origi nal opinion that the Britons, in the main, were right in the war. An American wom an of the keenest Boer sympathies, added to. Mr. Hay's first perplexities by making a regular campaign to win him to the Boer side. Failing in this, she gossiped freely of his alleged pro-British purposes; but he outlived all this, was helpful to the British prisoners and lately, under British suprem acy, has interposed moije than once in the interest of the Boers." xxx A tangible result of the recent visit to Mrs. Florence Maybrick at Aylesbury prison of Dr. Clark Bell, of New York, the prisoner's counsel, and a representative of the Associated Press, was the discovery of a hitherto unknown letter from the late Baron Russell of Killowen, lord chief jus tice of England, to Mrs. Maybrick reaf firming his belief in his client's innocence and vigorously declaring his conviction that she had been unfairly condemned. This letter has since been made the basis for a new memorial praying for Mrs. May brick's release, and so strong is Mr. Bell's belief in the force of this document that a copy of it has been sent personally to Sir Matthew White Ridley, the secretary of state for the home department, at his sum mer home in Northumberland, accom panied by the request that he give it his earliest consideration. Dr. Bell started for the continent to-day, more than satis fied with the effects of his visit to Eng land. He has not only succeeded In seeing his client for the first time since her in carceration, but has since secured for Mrs. Maybrick an Interview with her mother t Baroness De Roques.) The discovery of the Russell letter is regarded as impor tant, not because many people doubted his sincerity, but because it is couched in such terms as to preclude any question of his belief that she was unfairly tried. Mrs. Maybrick's friends say Dr. Clark Bell fels the mysterious influence of opposition somewhere hinders of successful result. The late Mr, Bayard evidently felt this when he declared the case had reached the end of diplomacy, and subsequent ambas sadors also met it. But many recent evi dences of leniency toward the prisoner in cline her friends to believe that her in carceration will not be prolonged. xxx The outflow of home-bound Americans this week is limited by the capacity of the St. Louis and Etruria. The former took an interesting list of passengers, including Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne MacVeagh, Justice Grev, Dr. Schrady. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Elkins, of Philadelphia, and Sousa's band, which has just completed a continental tour. Sousa was in London this week, but resisted the temptation to play in England, as he ex pects to return here next reason, when he will probably appear at the Glasgow inter national exposition. "The band," said Sousa. "seemed quite as popular at Frank fort, Cologne and Berlin as at Paris. American music is always most welcome. Though my interpretations of Wagner were enthusiastically received in Germany, a brass band that can accompany a violin rolo is an unknown thing in Europe, where attempts to use military bands to play concert music are not always pleasing Such an instrument as the saxaphone is vinki.ovn in Germany, and the vast number of reeds which secure the violin effects of the band are an innovation which sur prised many." Nearly every continental city has presented Sousa with a civic flag and Frankfort sent a delegation to London Thursday to personally present him with a magnificent banner from that municipality. XXX John Alexander Do wie, of Chicago, who came to England to promote the Zlon movement, have been kept busy this week. Although he has not begun real work in London. Mr. Dcwie is besieged with let ters, telegrams and callers urging him to initiate the Zion movement forthwith Mr. Dowie. however, is going to Scotland for a month's holiday before beginning his - campaign.

A Hi'.ALTII RESTORER. Dellfc :..! v . 4lon of the United States That I Surpassed iu Any Clime Hovr It Mar Be Ueuched. In the months of July. August and Sep tember people who reside in the "hot belt" of the United States turn their thoughts to places where coolness and comfort may be found. This "hot belt" does not follow well defined lines, nor does the one of a cer tain year coincide exactly with that cf ev ery other year. Usually, however, it begins at New York and starting westward In a somewhat zigzag direction "takes in" such cities as Baltimore, Philadelphia, Titts burg. Boston. Cleveland, Toledo, Colum bus, Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, and not infrequently penetrates to the North west and causes the people of Minneap olis, St. Paul and Milwaukee to sigh for lower temperature. Kansas City, too. it must not be forgotten, feels the full effict of the torrid waves which sweep this "belt" each summer, a fact perfectly known to all delegates to the recent Democratic na tional convention. Until within comparatively recent years "vacation tourists, in mapping out the route of their summer jaunts in search of spurs where coats may be worn In the daytime and sleeping is dene beneath blankets at nrght, have almost Invariably turned thor eyes to the North or else across the ocean, where they seo delightful visions of strol's through beautiful valleys or climbs up snowy mountain sides In the Alpine region of Switzerland. Some prefer the Ion; Journey over prairie and desert to ths mountainous regions of Colorado, . the scenic grandeur of Yellowstone Park or, still further, to California, the land of many climates, of perpetual fruits and flowers. A veritable fairly land of beautj, health and "comfort has, however, been op.: d up in a new direction through the aid of that powerful magic wand of progress the steam railroad. This wonderland has been appropriately termed "The Lnnd of the Sky" because of Its elevation and the charming Italian sky which overh.uij; it. "The Land cf the Sky" embraces ti,j greater portion of the State of North Car olina, parts of the south and west .f Tennessee and a bit of the "Old Dominion." An Interesting historical fact relating to North Carolina Is that British dominion was first asserted in this country upon its coast and on the memorable date of the 4th of July. On that day la the year 15M Sir Walter Baleigh set foot for the firs-t time upon the coast of North Carolina and, with a vast deal of pomp and cere mony, took possession of the territory in the name of her gracious Majestv, Queen Elizabeth. "The Good Queen Bes." a she was fondly termed by her loving fh jects. Every schoolboy can rattle ofT nr ly that on the 4th of July, 1776. that same British domination became so hateful th.rt it was thrown off in the never to be forgot ten words of the Declaration of Independ ence. Possibly some school children mipht not recall that the first Declaration of In dependence was signed In Mecklenberg. X. C, on the 20th day of May, 1775. more than a year prior to the great Declaration, which is read In almost every citv, town, village and hamlet in the United States whenever a 4th of July in any year rolls around. In "The Old North State." too. was established the first colony, and here the first white child was born In this coun try. North Carolina is 000 miles long and con tains 62,250 square miles of territory, of which more than one-half is primeval for est. In this vast expanse could be set down ten States of the size of little Connect icut, while six Massachusetts could lind plenty of breathing space without encroach ing upon any of tue surrounding States. North Carolina is situated directly on th central belt of the temperate zone and is, therefore, equipped with climatic condi tions of the most varied and delightful character. A writer with some poetic ge nius has said "The old North State is th marriage altar of summer and winter." On its western border lofty chains of moun tain peaks form an impregnable barrier ogalnst the bleak, chilling winds of the Northwest, while the eastern coast Is ca ressed by the gulf stream, whoso ameliorat ing influence is felt far Inland. The tern perature at no time In the year extends In either direction beyond a pleasunt mean. In the western or mountainous region of North Carolina may be found forty-thre distinct mountain peaks which pierce the sky to a greater distance than Mt. Wash ington, while more than eighty others ap proximate the lofty aUltude of that famous peak. There are three principal physio graphic divisions or terraces in this fasci nating old State, which are technical! known as the Coastal, the Piedmont and the Mountain. One who has traveled through this charm ing, picturesque region and has penetrated into all Its wild, almost marvelous beaut Irs. writes In this fashion of "Th Land of the Sky:" "Picture in your mind," h snvs. "a region where range after range of heavi ly forested mountains parallel each other like waves' of the sea, where Interlacing valleys arp rich with verdure and Mowers, and where silver streams murmur unceas ingly. Iaagine an air so light end pur that breathing itself seems a new found joy, then throw over all a canopy of bit jest Italian blue, and you have 'The Land of the Sky.' " The district most favored bv tourists and seekers after health is that of which world renowned Ashevllle is the center and me tropolis. None the less picture ?quc and al luring, however, is the region, in and about Blowing Rock and Grandfather's Mou-itahi. of which Lenoir. Term., is th principal point. Southeast of Asheville is ihn Tiat Kock Tryon and Sapphire region, which is frequented by hosts of visitors on arvount of its delightful surroundings. To lU southwest, between Asheviile and Murphv, Tenn., famed for Its wondrous marble iii.tr ries. lies the Balsam Mountain countrv wild, solitary and resembling the enchanted Swlssland. Here nre the Hayward sulphur springs, from which hundreds, and even thousands drink in bounding lire and Joy ous, rosy health. Going in a westrlv di rection trom Ashevllle. to a point nar ti.? Tennessee line, one will come upon the Jc-j broken but more beautiful countrv in th vicinity of Hot Springs, while- almost due north, beyond the Tennessee border, loor.H Up in romantic grandeur the Roan moun tain, upon the summit of which is a htH. the highest building east of Colorado. This is one of the innumerable summer rorti of this land of boundless resources. All vho have visited "The Land of the Fky" ,"?ree without dissenting voice that it conn! bwitzerland In area and rivals it In at tractiveness, case of reach and healthful ness. The first question that will occur to th uninitiated reader about this wonderful part of the country Is. "How can vou cet to It?" If the starting point b Indian apolis, the answer is. "Go to Cincinnati or Iulsville and take the Southern Rail way." This route, with its associated sv tem, the Queen fc Crescent, has main lines and branches which extend into an I through every place of Interest in the southeastern section of the United States, where may be found tho most delightful summer resorts In the greatest profui ''i and variety of any part of this vast coun try. A little booklet, exquisitely bound, written by Frank Presbrey. under th fa cinating title of "The Land of the Skv." devotes thirty-two pages to a description of only a small portion of the charm? cf this region. One who begir? the peruil of this pamphlet will he as likely to j-tnp before finishing It at'he would to abandon the most absorbingly Interesting novel.' Through the countesy of Mr. W. 11.
