BARN DANCE IS DOOMED TO DEATH

The State Factory Inspector "Butts In" on Pleasing And Popular Dance. HIDDEN DANGER IN IT. yHEN IT IS DANCED ON FLOORS HIGHER THAN THE SECOND, BUILDINGS ARE THREATENED. POPULAR IN RICHMOND. Alas and alack, but isn't it. a shame? Ekidoo for the barn dance. The address of the hall hereafter will be Imon street. It really is a terrible thame. Society, both liiftli and low that is noddy that dances it. on the third floor and society thht dances it Jn the basement will put on mourning. It is all due to the fact that the building inspectors of the state deem the dance injurious to buildings. The particular objection to the dance is that its performance causes the building to rock and sway much after the manner in which a bridge vibrates when a regiment of tioldiers in crossing in step. Hidden Danger. Hidden in the rhythmic production of the dance, lies the danger, tho inspectors say. The hall is liable to collapse under the strain ;ind the higher the dancing floor from the ground the greater the danger. The chances f . oss of life and serious injury become more numerous. The "Howdy Si" bop lias become unusually popular in Richmond during tho present dancing seaBon. It really is all tho rage and unless you are an adept, in its performance you are a back number. How it happened to become in vogue is not known. It probably is I he direct result of the social rise of the country ad and lassie brought about by paps moving to the city and leasing his farm land to the Standard Oil company. It may be that, the hills back of the cow barn covered unknown deposits of coal and that it what enabled the folks to move to town. SI and Sue were not. much accustomed to the polka, waltz and cotillion. Si remembered best the way he used to indulge in terpsicorean practice about the stumps of corn stalks and Sue did not forget dodging the milk crocks on the cellar floor, when ehe went after a can of preserves. There must be some kind of dance to reawaken and stimulate the muscles made use of years ago, so note the product the barn dance. It is not a dance that depends upon grace and dignity, but of course the most graceful are those who retain their equilibrium. There is great joy and much hilarity occasioned by the "One, two three, one, two, three then waltz me Hround again Willie" movement. It is fashionable throughout the land. My poodness, but those inspectors are buttinskles to come out now and try to spoil all our fun. RECEPTION IN HONOR qf mm knox Many Presidential Candidates To Be There. Washington, March 23. Leaving their political knives at home, practically nil the republican candidates for the presidential nomination will join next Wednesday evening in a reception to be given by the Pennsylvania club here in honor of Senator Knox. It is said the affair will be non-political in character, being intended as a testimonial of the high t-steem in which the Pennsylvania statesman is held by his associates. Fresident Roosevelt, Vice-President Fairbanks, Secretary Taft, Secretary Cortelyou and Speaker Cannon have Bccepted invitations. Governor Hughes lias also been invited, but it is not certain whether he will be present. The invitations number 2,500. Ladies invited to attend new spring display of millinery, beginning Wednesday and continuing all week at JJvielhorn's mililuery store. 2;;-2t .Iffsngg fw InrLrra, "Nobody In New York walks straight." aid the fault finder. "Watch a score of pedestrians on the sidewalk, and not one of them sticks to a straight path. Those deviations are not always due to the crowded condition of the pavement either. Purintr the rush hours a man la supposed to dodge this way nnd that In his efforts to make progress, but when given a clear road there is no xcus for so rouch sidetracking. Yet. no matter bow favorable the conditions, the New Yorker zigzags just the same.

Sir William Symonds. surveyor and principal designer to tho British admiralty, could not be brought to believe In them. He declared that steamships of any "yort were "monstrous" and that the screw was impossible. The day came when choice between paddle wheels and screw propellers bad to be made. The naval authorities tied two ships stern to stern, and when the srew propelled vessel had tri umphed over tho padd'e steamer in this ludicrous tug of war the lords of the admiralty felt justified in modeling the British navy anew.

FARMERS

DRIVEN

OUT OF KENTUCKY Ominous Warnings From the "Night Riders" Frighten Tobacco Growers. OTHER STATES BENEFIT. HUNDREDS OF THE GROWERS ARE SELLING THEIR FARMS KNOWING THEY CANNOT MAKE LIVING IN KENTUCKY. Lexington. Kv.. March - Driven by panic fears bec-au.-e of warning letters and visits from Night Riders, farmers in nearly all of the forty two counties in the white buriey tobacco district are busily destroying their tobacco beds and at the present time less than one-third of the number usually planted have been started. In many counties huge signs have been erected on buildings and in high places near by declaring the intention of the fanner not to raise a crop this season. Realizing the difficulty of making a living for their families in case the decision not to raise tobacco is adhered to. many tenant farmers are preparing to move to other stales, while many farm owners have placed their property on the market with the avowed purpose of leaving Kentucky. The murder of Farmer Hedges in Nicholas county and the raids in Woodford and other counties last, week have increased the alarm. In announcing their determination to go elsewhere, the tenants declare that i will be impossible to subsist from the proceeds of crops of hemp, wheat and cgrn. In the neighborhood of Mt. Sterling many farmers have received threatening letters with which were matches, powder and poison, and in both farm districts anil tobacco towns, armed guards have been placed at the threatened points. Conditions throughout the state are declared to be now worse than at any time since the tobacco war began. T UNION OP LINES A. C. Lindemuth Says Bell and Independent Companies Should Not Merge. DETRIMENT TO THE PEOPLE WOULD INCREASE THE COST OF TELEPHONE SERVICE AND IN TIME SERVICE WOULD DETERIORATE, HE THINKS. (Jnlv the independent telephone lines can be intrusted to furnish the public with safe and adequate telephone service at reasonable rates, according to the statement of A. C. Lindemuth, formerly of this city, president of the International Independent telephone association. Mr. Lindemuth has prepared a statement containing a discussion of the question of telephone consolidation. It. will be published in all independent telephone journals of the country. The application of the same, business methods to telephone operation as is shown in other lines is urged by the writer. Mr. Lindemuth says In part: "Nothing could be more ill-advised at this time than for legislative or municipal bodies to undertake by law to force physical connection between, or consolidation of. the Bell and independent systems, and thereby stifle and destroy legitimate competition. Although such a connection or combination might prove beneficial to the competing companies, its result would inevitably be detrimental to the people by increasing cost of service to the telephone-using public, and in equally inevitable deterioration in the quality of the service and a certain loss of all the many benefits which follow legitimate competition. Even if these things are to he brought about it should not be by abrupt legislation but through the natural evoluion of fair and legitimate competition. "The only possible unification of intt rer-t that could be thoeght of under any conditions must he along the lines and under the protective policy of the independent system. So' whether there shall continue to be competition in the telephone business must be left v, holiy with our adversary, tor the duiy of the independents is plain. It is 'onward and forward' until our supseinacy and the ultimate safety of the p-ople is assure d. "The in'iCpeuicnt telephone companies having aiwa.-, le.outiized and approved regulation b. law ;;nd cheerfully accepted ail reasonable limitations to safeguard the public interests, they ai;d they alone can safely be intrurted to furnish to the public adequate and eif.eieru Si t", icr at reasonable rates in the absence of competition. Even without regulation of law. or the right, to do so. this would most naturally be true, owing to the fact that the independent sjsteni is composed of local companies. oSccred. linanced. managed and couticdled by local citizens whose iuierci-ts are identified with those whom they serve.

CRY FARMING. flipIaB.IInn of the Principle, ot tit ( anipbrll Sjilrm. What -western people have become accustomed to call the "Campbell system of dry farming" consists simply in the exercise of inteiligenee, care, patience and tireless industry. It differs in detail from the good farming methods practiced and taught at the various agricultural experiment stations, but lh underlying principles are the same. These principles are two in number: First, to keep the surface of the land under cultivation loose and finely pulverized. This forms a soil mulch that permits tho rains and melting snows to percolate readily iliriib to the compacted sf.il beneath find that at the same time prevents the moisture stored In the ground frra being brought tr l!ie surface by t apiiiary tittraciion. to be absorbed by tie hut. dry air.

SENATOR BRYAN DEAD It Was Only Seventy-three Days From Time He Took His Seat. A BRILLIANT YOUNG MAN. Washington, March US. United States Senator William James Bryan of Florida, died at the Providence hospital at S o'clock Sunday morning of typhoid fever. It was only seventy-three days since he took his seat, as the Miccessor of the late Senator Stephen K. Mallory. who died Dec. U.'!, and thirty-three days of that time was spent In his fight against disease. Several times during Mr. Bryan's illness his friends despaired of his recovery, but as late ::s Saturday night the report was given out that his condition had taken a turn for the better. His death Sunday, therefore, came as a surprise and a distinct Phock. Seven Senators Die Within Year. In Mr. Bryan the senate lo.ses the seventh member by death since the adjournment of the Fifty-ninth congress on March I. a ear ago. They were the two late senators from Alabama, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Peitus. Mr. Mallory of Florida. Mr. Iatimar of South Carolina, Mr. Proctor of Vermont. Mr. Whyte of Maryland and Mr. Bryan. Curiously the last two were the oldest and the youngest, members of the body. Mr. Whyte was st years old and Mr. Bryan less than .12. Although Mr. Bryan was in thf senate too short a time to impress his inviduality on legislation or to take a prominent part in consideration of matters in committee, it is conceded that had he lived he would have become a forceful part of the minority. He was a brilliant orator and had a most successful career in his native state, which gave promise of achievements in the senate circle. He was a lawyer by profession.
