KNOCKING JAMESTOWN.
Seri?os Friction Between Federal Au?
thorities and Exposition Officials
JejrJous of Exposition as a Southern
Enterprise.
Washington, May 25.-There is a
report in circulation of serious fric?
tion between the r. anas- ment of the
J-imestown Exposition ar.el the au?
thorities at Washington. This story
hrs not come out on the surface yet,
but it is ?aid that everyone on both
sides is tired end a^gry and that it
would need little to bring about an
.open rupture. It is claimed that the
whole trouble is jealousy cn the part
of federal officials-of Jamestown as a
southern enterprise. Admiral Robley
Evans, the "Fighting Lob" of the na?
vy, is credited with fomenting the
disturbance. He was in command of
the American fleet at Jamestown and
the complaint is that- he has handi?
capped the displays there by failing to
send detachments of sailors on shore
for various ceremonies when they
were wanted, and ceasing the foreign
fleets out of the harbor before they
were ready to go. It is said that on
the opening day of the exposition he
was not going to send any sailers
r rh ore to take part in the display and
'was only brought to time hy a
sharp telegram from the secretary of
. the navy. Afterward it MS said ? that
he urged ihe departure of the foreign
fieets which were expected to remain
and be a part of the display so long
a? the exposition lasted. Admiral
Evans laughs at tue report and says
he has done everything he could to
make the exposition a success, and if
there is any trouble it is because of
the incompetent local management of
the exposition. The navy department
of course enters an ofhciai denial to
? the whole story, but" the fact remains
that the British squadron pulled up
anchor and left just before James?
town day. which they were supposed
to htjlp celebrate and the action of
the war department in calling off a
luncheon that had been arranged in
honor of Gen. Kuroki all indicate that ;
the official attitude of sc^me of the
high officials in Washington has not
been as friendly as might have been
expected.
. ? .
A curious search has just been con?
cluded by an English lawyer in
AVashington th^.t ended in the ceme?
tery of the government insane asylum
ai Saint Elizabeth's across the East- j
ern Branch of the Potomac. The '
lawyer was here trying to locate the!
heir to a fortune of $6,000,000 left
by a vealthy manufacturer in Eng- :
land. The legal heir would have been j
one John Cook, a nephew of the dead
man. A long search in this country
indicated that he had come to Wash- ;
ingion. and the lawyer fully expected
to find -him here. After considerable
trouble he found that Cook had gone
. down in the world and finally after
being arrested as a vagrant on the
street, had been committed to the
government asylum as an insane pau?
per. No one knew anything about
h'm, and after-ling-ring at . the asy
lum for a while e he died and was
buried at public expvr.se in the little
cemetery attached to the institution.
At this veiy time the fortune of $6,
000.000 was awaiting him in England, j
There was no record of any other
heirs to the money except a sister of j
the dead man who is now a perma- j
bent inmate of an insane asylum in ?
Norfolk. Va. Some of the money was j
set-aside to pay her expenses in that,
institution and the remainder of the :
immense sum *will revert to the j
Bi tish crown for lack of an owner.

One of the ablest addresses deliver?
ed at the Lake Mohonk Peace Con- !
terence this week was by the million?
aire ambassador from Mexico. Senor
Creel, who has been one pf the noted
figures ia diplomatic life here since
his appointment to succeed the late
Senor Aspiroz. Senor Creel spoke in
favor of what* is known as the Drago
Doctrine which ls a sort of supple?
ment to the Monroe Doctrine, and de?
clares against the right of a foreign
power to collect debts by force of
arms from any of the American re?
publics. The doctrine has been nam?
ed after the secretary of State of
Brazil, by whom it was elucidated
and warmly supported, bul Senor
Creel gave the credit for its inception
to Elihu Root, the American secre?
tary of St'te. He declared that it
i-..et with the hearty approval not only
of Mexico, but of all the Central and
South Am-rican republics, and it
seems that it will be adopted by the
countries' of this hemisphere as a fit?
ting corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.
It is not likely that it will ever be for?
mally recognized by the powers of
Europe any more than the Monroe is
now. but if it is as thoroughly re?
spected as the Monroe Doctrine al?
ways has been, that will be sufficient
foi all practical purposes.
* * *
Of the subjects that has been
brought up every once in a while by
the postoffice department is the adop?
tion of stamp selling machines, flier.
was a trial of s .ich machines about a
year ago. and while there were some
that worked, they were ali crude
and none were adopted. Now there
is to be another test of machines that
. will sell one cent and five cent stamps
' and postal cards. It is understood
that some of the machines have been
improved to the point where they will
be acceptable to the department.
j Their adoption would be a conveni
? ence for many places in the city, and
i it is known that they would be
j largely installed by hotels and drug
! stores and many places where there
! are not now branch postornecs. Eut
j the most valuable locations for thru.
will be in country railway stations]
and other places where there :s fr- ,
quently great demand for stamps and j
I rio way of supplying it. A .-ramp is j
? one of the cheapest things, but if I: is !
j wanted and not to be had. it as-j
?sumes a value beyond its. intrinsic
] worth. It is very "much like wanting
a match when a man has a pipe full
; of tobacco and no way Of lighting it.
i If the department can get a satisfac
! tory penny In the slot machine for <
I
. selling stamps, it will be one of the ?
I greatest bc'?ns in the oostal line that .
: has been granted to tne country popu- j
j dation sine:- the establishment of the!

Newberry. Slay 30.-A most dis?
tressing artair occurred here today in

tered.
Armstrong, the same man, also
drew two teeth for Mis? Victoria Riv?
ers, a sister of Mrs. Berry, and she
came near dying also: in fact, it was i
thought she would 'die, but by hard ,
work the doctors have succeeded in !
saving her life.
When Armstrong saw what he had j
done he stated that the lady -.vas sick j
fr.-.in some other cause and advised :
that a practicing physician be called ?
and he left and could not be found.
Telegrams were -sent to the sur- !
rounding towns for Armstrong's ar- 1
rest and late this evening he was ar- j
rested in Clinton.

A Cure for Insomnia.
I Yesterday a friend who had beard
that I sometimes suffer from insom?
nia, told me of a sure cure. "Eat a
I int of peanuts and uah two or
three glasses of milk before going to
bcd." said he. "and I'll warrant you'll
? be asleep within half an heur." i did
as he suggested, and now for the ben?
efit of others who may be afflicted
with insomnia. I feel it to be my duty
to report what happened, so far as I
, am able this morning to recall the de>
.tails.
First, let rae say my friend wa-"
right. I did go to sleep very soon,
alter my retirement Then a friend
with his head under ; his a,-ni came
alor.g and asked me if I wanted to
buy his feet. I was negotiating with
him when the dragon on which X was
riding shoped out of his skin and left
me floating m mid-air. While I was
! considering hov. I should, get down, a
j bull with two heads peered over the
; edge of the well and said ho would
; haul me up if would first climb up
and rig a windlass for him. So as
i i was sliding down the mountain side,
the break man came in. and I asked
him when the train would reach my
station. "We passed your station four
hundred years ago," he said, calmly
folding the train up and slipping lt
I into his vest pocket,
i At this juncture the clown bounded
I into the ring- and pulled the center
po]e'out of the ground, lifting the
tent and all the people in it up. up.
while ? stood on the earth below
watching myself go out of sight
aniong the clouds above.
While I was wondering whether I
; should ever meet myself again, and
whether it would be Quite polite' for
mc to speak to myself without an in?
troduction, the stage-driver announc?
ed that his horses had turned to stone
and before I had time to ask him
what he was going to do about it, I
: discovered that my legs had grown so
j long that I couldn't see my feet with
j out a telescope.
I was seated on a horn of the moon,
shortening my legs by tying bow
knots in them when a young woman
came out from behind' the candy
counter and said she had been looking
all over creation for me, and now she
had found me she would never, no
never let me from her sight again. At
this instant I looked bot?: ways from
the middle of the bridge where I was
standing, and saw. a train coming to?
ward me from each, direction. Then
just before the trains met, ? looked
over the edge of the basket and saw
that the balloon was upside down and
rushing towards the earth with terri
' ble velocity. So I opened the cellar
j door and went downstairs until I
came to the attic, while I sat on the
bank of the river and knitted a pair
of woollen socks for a rattlesnake.
Then I awoke and found that ? had
been a:-?ee . almost ten minutes.-Se
