THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. BERAL COMMISSION PAID RELIABLE AGENTS FOR THIS PAPER CALL HERE Howell the editor of The. Atlanta institution calls the attention of the African people to the fact that the man has a better chance in the South he has in the North, and this state of harmony with the declarationOWER Durham. a Negro member of Philadelphia bar who is a graduate University of Pennsylvania and at some minister at San Domingo, the editor and Lawyer agree as to reason for their belief, It lies in the that the Negro Artisan in the North no reason to work at his chosen job for the reason that white men not work beside him as a bricklayer, all smith mason nor will the all full unions admit him to member of the south the conditions are different. all sorts of manual labor regarded as menial and the white who engage in them have no socializing. It naturally follows therefore the greater part of the work fallsup the Negroes. In slavery times they bought trades and many of them skilled in various crafts, which were encouraged to follow. The states of the industrial schools find difficulty, therefore in securing gaines employment in the south and industrial skillful labor in that section is urged and valued at its true worth thus equipped does not come for the reason they could not find here and also because they are well home The northern cities and managing communities get from the mainly inefficient and vicious states of the Negro race: those who not makes them suspected and at home or whose laziness and losses makes it undesirable for remain longer in the community they have been brought up of these facts any scheme of empathy government assistance, so proposed by some of the Negro's would be harmful both to the world and to the Negro. Experience in India shows that the Negro not successfully govern himself, and adults in Linberia are not on the encouraging, To deport to Africa industrious blacks of the south who is serious loss to that section, a away the efficient and the vice would be a great wrong to the country they might be sent.

The Prince of Monaco, who was prevented by a motor cycle accident from delivering his lecture at the Royal Institution of London, is perhaps the first of living oceanographers. When the British Association last met in Edinburgh the royal scientist drew large audiences to hear his accounts of his experiments upon the routes followed by the waters of oceans themselves, as distinguished from the voyagers upon them. The gambler at Monte Carlo would thus seem to serve science. Priest to Study at Yale. Rev. Francis D. McShane, one of the Dominican fathers connected with the St. Mary's church in New Haven, has just completed arrangements with the officials of Yale university by which he is to become a member of the senior academy class for 1904.

This is the first instance of a Catholic priest with a parish appointment entering Yale for a degree or for study of any kind. W. S. Gilbert's Correction. W. S. Gilbert, formerly of Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera fame, wrote as follows to a London newspaper recently: "There is a line in your issue of May 15 that must have sent a thrill of joy through many a worthy home. I refer to the line in an article headed 'A Naval Battle,' in which I am referred to as the 'late W. S. Gilbert.'

HLY. ALSO, ORDERED SQUAD TO TURKISH WATERS. TITLE OF A BIG JOINT DEMONSTRATION Soldiers Do Not Look for an Outbreak of War Japan Merely Waiting for Russia to Become Involved in Balkans — Insubordination of Turkish Troops. LONDON:—(Special.) The Italian ambassador here received a dispatch from Rome announcing that an Italian ambassador had been ordered to Macedonian waters to "watch events." No explanation is given of the reasons underlying the orders, and the emissary officials were unable to say whether it was a result of Russia entering a squadron to Turkish waters. It was recalled as probable that the foreign office at Rome had received letters showing that Italian interests, which are important at Salonica and in the neighborhood, are menaced, and that it was deemed wise to have a strong force handy to convince the terms of the inadvisability of affecting such interests by any hostile act. It was added that the presence of the Italian fleet would also deter the risks from committing outrages on offensive Christians. The general concensus of opinion among the diplomatists is that there nothing in the present situation to warrant the belief that it will develop to a general conflagration, as the powers are co-operating generally to reserve the peace of Europe. The nation in the Far East, especially the national agitation in Japan, is relied by some diplomats as being as gratening as the Balkan situation, as Japanese officials hardly attempt to conceal their belief that their government will act in the Far East could such an opportunity offer as the embroilment of Russia in the Balances. 1 In the meantime, the Russian squadron will not proceed to Constantinople, as has been reported, but will rendezvous about the small port of the vileray of Adrianople and the entrance of the Bosphorus. For the present, this squadron has no orders to assume an aggressive course. Its action will depend on Turkey's fulfilment of the terms of Russia's final demands in connection with the assassin of Consul Rostkovski. The punishment of a number of the parties implicated is not considered to be full compliance with the terms of the demands, which include an adequate indemnity. Besides the Rostkovski incident he proposed naval action before colonica is due to the earnest representation of the foreign consuls at colonica, who set forth that their ties are in danger. The first representation on the subject reached the French authorities several weeks ago and since then other consuls have made similar representations. The assassination of M. Rostkovski is given such emphasis to the statements of the consuls that consideration of a joint naval demonstration of sufficient strength to impress Turkey with the necessity for taking decisive action going to the maintenance of order in Macedonia is now in progress. The exchange of communications has shown that Russia and Austria continue to cooperate fully in the action taken award Turkey. CONSTANTINOPLE. — (Special.) the Russian demands on Turkey, saving out of the, recent murder of the Russian consul at Monastir, M. stetshovski, were formally presented at the yildiz palace. Notwithstanding the warning which russia addressed to the Bulgarian government, it is generally believed that the Russian naval demon- ration in Turkish waters will dan- dously encourage the Macedonians, so it is asserted, will interpret Rus- sia action as being the first step to- wards intervention in their behalf. The insubordination of the Turkish troops is regarded as being one of the greatest dangers of the present Italian crisis. The lack of discipline among the soldiers is marked. It is used necessary to humor them in order to prevent conflict between the soldiers and their officers. For instance, a regiment, while on the way from Uskub to Monastir, demanded that the train be stopped at Salonica for twelve hours, instead of for the scheduled half hour, so that the soldiers might amuse themselves in the town. He Bit a Piece of Dynamite by a Piece or Dynamite. EL. PASO, TEX.—(Special.) The body of an unknown man has been north of the city. The man had committed suicide by biting a dynamite of dynamite, which he had dropped in his handkerchief. His body was blown into fragments. Near the corpse was found a copy of a Los Angeles newspaper, but there was nothing that served to identify the remains. The clothing on the corpse had been purchased from a clothing shop in San Francisco. The man was full of evening dress and must have killed himself after leaving the ball. A Waiter Uses a Bazor.

James Lewis Meyers was arrested here Wednesday for a murder committed twenty-seven years ago. When taken to the jail he said he looked forward to the first peaceful night's sleep since 1876, when he became a fugitive from justice. The man arrested here is known in his Tennessee home as James Lewis, a successful and respected lumber dealer. He came here because he wanted to visit his old home and his relatives in Montgomery county. He relied upon his changed appearance to disguise him from the few who might remember the killing at Darlington, near here, so long ago. Meyers says the killing was in self-defense, and now that has money enough to engage competent lawyers, he is confident of clearing away the cloud that has so long darkened his life. In 1876 James Lewis Meyers, 18 years old, was a timber buyer at Darlington. He quarreled with one of his employees, Branson Sloan. Meyers killed Sloan with a pocket knife. There was no jail at Darlington at that time, the murderer, who surrendered, was locked up in a schoolhouse and a guard placed over him. That night he escaped and was never heard of until he surrendered. After his escape Meyers says he made his way afoot, traveling at night, to Southern Illinois. He adopted his name, James Lewis Meyers, by dropping his surname. For several years ill fortune pursued him. He was ready to return to Indiana and give himself up when he secured a contract which netted him several hundred dollars' profit and he decided to try his fortune in a new country. He is now a wealthy man. In the meantime his wife had joined him and they moved to Benton county, Tennessee. DANGEROUS NO LONGER. The Kaw River Has Again Lost Its Terror to Bridge Owners. KANSAS CITY.—(Special.) The Kaw river fell rapidly all day Wednesday and there are no indications of another rise in the tributary streams. Mr. Connor, of the weather bureau, says that a general decline is reported in the Kaw river all along the stream. The Kaw was falling at Kansas City at the rate of nearly two inches an hour. The anxiety of the great packing and manufacturing interests in the Kaw river valley at this place is now over. Swift & Co. discontinued the official readings of the Kaw and Blue rivers at Manhattan, and will not reestablish them unless another rise begins. The river is three feet lower at Kansas City than on Sunday. The rapid fall of the stream makes the current unusually swift and gives the impression to some that the water is rising. About the only reminders of the recent rise are the inconveniences the people of both Kansas Citys still suffer as the result of the carrying away af two pile bridges. These inconveniences, however, will be remedied as rapidly as possible and no further trouble from high water is anticipated here this season. Grand Army Reunion. SAN FRANCISCO.—(Special.) The parade of the veterans of the G. A. R. in this city Wednesday will be long remembered by the thousands of people who packed the streets along the line of march to witness it. Not a few of them recognized that for them this meant the passing of the heroes of many a bloody struggle in defense of the Union for all time in a collective body, so far as this city is concerned. Devoid of all the pomp and panoply of the warlike host which marched in all the pride of strength and youth in the parade, there was something pathetic in the thinned ranks of the veterans who marched which touched the hearts of all who saw them.

SHOW NO SIGNS OF RACE SUICIDE HERE Only Argentina Has a More Rapid Rate of Increase—The South Leads the North, Largely Because of the Low Rate of Increase in the Western States. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) The census bureau has published as a bulletin a discussion of the increase of population in the United States as shown by the census of 1900. The principal results of the study of these figures are summarized as follows: The increase in the population of continental United States, that is, the United States exclusive of Alaska and the recent insular accessions, was 13,046.86', or 20.7 per cent. Only one country, Argentina, has shown by the most recent figures a more rapid rate of growth. The present rate of growth in continental United States is estimated as double the average rate of Europe. It is nearly that of Canada, and exceeds by one-sixth that of Mexico and by one-tenth that of Australia. The rates of increase on the two sides of the northern Atlantic differ much less than they did a generation ago. Among the five main divisions of continental United States, the highest rate of increase is found in the Western division and the lowest in the North Central. Among the eleven minor divisions the highest rate of growth is found in the Rocky NEW COLLEGE Plan for Main Building of Willis The people of Geneva, N. Y., were never more surprised in their lives, perhaps, than they were the other day, when William Smith, the millionaire nurseryman, and for eighty-five years a bachelor, announced the foundation of a college for young women. That he would do something for "the city by the lake" with the fortune saved by years of careful business and intense personal economy they fully believed. But the imagination of none was wild enough to suspect that one whom they had always believed a woman hater would give life and endowment to an institution for the higher education of these very women. The newest college in this land of colleges and universities will be called the William Smith College for Women. It will have a frontage of 216 feet, with 165 foot wings on each end. The building will probably cost be- mountain group of states, closely followed by the Western South Central; the lowest in the Northern South Atlantic, closely followed by the Western North Central. In the decade 1890 to 1900, for the first time in our national history, the Southern states increased faster than the Northern. East of the Mississippi, however, the Northern states, as a group, have grown in the last ten years somewhat more rapidly than the Southern; but west of that river, the Southern states have increased almost two and one-half times as rapidly as the Northern, and it is this fact which makes the growth of the South, as a whole, exceed that of the North. In the whole North Atlantic division, the rate of increase has risen steadily since the Civil war, a notable contrast to the trend in the country as a whole. The region west of the Mississippi river is still increasing faster than that east of it, but the difference between the rates of growth in the two regions, 1890 to 1900, was little more than one-fifth of what it was 1880 to 1890. The region east of the Mississippi increased more rapidly from 1890 to 1900 than from 1880 to 1890, while that west of the Mississippi increased in the lster decade not much more than half as fast as in the earlier. The conclusion is drawn that the increased growth of the East and the decreased growth of the West may both Y. W. C. A. Conference. WILLIAMS BAY, WIS.—(Special.) The thirteenth annual conference of the Young Women's Christian Association has opened here. About 500 girls are enrolled at present and more are expected by the end of the week.

The rates of increase in the North and the South during the last twenty years were practically the same. But in the character of this growth the two regions differ widely, there being a relatively uniform growth over the whole South, equalized by a balance in the North between a lower rate of rural growth and a higher rate of urban growth. Extensive but sparsely settled areas in the western parts of Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota show a decline of population in the last ten years, a fact which it is said may be connected with the increase of population in many agricultural counties of Iowa, Illinois and adjoining states 1890 to 1900. The most noteworthy result of the entire discussion, it is stated, is the cumulative evidence of the rapid approach to equality in the rates of increase of various parts of the United States. This appears, whether North be compred with oSuth, East with West or city with country. Plague of Grasshoppers. RED LODGE, MONT. — (Special.) Grasshoppers are so thick in this section that they are plastered each day on the locomotives of the trains and the wheels are so slippery that when the engines stop it is difficult to start them again. The pests settle in clouds on the rails and cover the wheels with a thick coating of their carcasses. They have eaten the range as bare as a board and come in swarms which obscure the sun.

MUCH MORE EXCITING THAN SERIOUS President Reviews Fleet of Twenty- One Men-of-War—First Time in History That It Was Done in Time of Peace—A Magnificent and Impressive Naval Spectacle. OYSTER BAY, N. Y.—(Special.) For the first time in the history of the country, the President of the United States Monday reviewed and inspected in time of peace a great fleet of United States warships. The ceremony was a magnificent and impressive naval spectacle. It was unmarred by the slightest mishap until just at its conclusion, when the torpedo boat destroyer Berry rammed the destroyer Decatur, fortunately, however, doing little damage. The incident was exciting. It occurred just at the moment when the President was receiving congratulations on the success of the maneuvers The first squadron of destroyers, consisting of the Decatur, Bainbridge, Barry, Dale and Chauncey, all under command of Lieutenant L. H. Chandler was approaching the Mayflower at full speed. The vessels were in close formation. Orders were signaled from the Decatur to the other vessels to form a wedge. In executing the orders, the Decatur swung across the bow of the Barry. An instant later the Barry rammed her on the starboard side. As the ships were running at a speed of twenty knots, the blow was tremendous. The Decatur listed sharply to port and seemed to be in serious distress. From the Mayflower she appeared to be sinking. The Mayflower's boats were manned instantly, but were not lowered, as the Decatur was seen to right herself. In a few minutes she hoisted a signal of "No serious damage." Later she steamed alongside the Mayflower and Lieutenant Chandler reported that, while his ship had received a bad bump on the starboard quarter, she was not materially damaged. The injury was plainly evident from the deck of the Mayflower. She had been struck about half way between her stern and midship, and a large dent had been made in her plates. The starboard rail was damaged, but otherwise the vessel was intact. The Barry, which had struck the Decatur a glance in glow, had her bow crumpled by the collision, but she was not injured otherwise. The accident put a sudden stop to the maneuvers of the destroyer squadron. The vessels came to an immediate stop, the Bainbridge, Dale and Chauncey standing by the two in collision. Boats were lowered from two of them, but after a casual examination of the injuries to the Barry and Decatur the boats returned to their vessels. Admiral Dewey ordered Lieutenant Chandler to proceed with the five vessels to the Brooklyn navy yard, where such repairs as may be necessary can be made quickly. After the damage has been repaired, the squadron will rejoin the fleet and continue the summer maneuvers. SAILS FOR TURKISH COAST. Russian Fleet Departed From Sebastian ton, Sunday ST. PETERSBURG.—(Special.) The squadron of the Russian Black sea fleet, under orders to sail for Turkish waters, consists of the battleships Catherine II, Tria Sviatitelia, Rostislay and Dvenadzat Apostaloff, four torpedo boat destroyers and six mine and torpedo transports. The squadron arrived at Sebastopol Sunday preparatory to sailing for the Turkish coast. VIENNA.—(Special.) In connection with Russia's action in sending a squadron to Turkish waters the Associated Press is officially informed that Austria has every reason to continue to believe that Russia does not intend to violate the spirit of the Russo-Austrian Balkan agreement. Vesuvius Still Active. NAPLES.—(Special.) Vesuvius continues active and the eruption has now lasted two weeks. On nights when there is no moonlight the spectacle is magnificent, the crater belching flames and smoke to the height of nearly 4,000 feet. In spite of the legend that Naples will be destroyed by Vesuvius, the Neapolitans firmly believe that their patron saint, San Gennaro, will stop the flow of lava with a gesture should it advance too near Naples. The stream of lava, after flowing 2,650 feet in the direction of Ottiajaao, has stopped, while the other stream is still moving and has reached a point 2,550 feet toward Pompeii.

The court decided that the charge of lese majeste had been proven, and ordered the unsold copies of the pamphlet and the plates to be destroyed. KIOWA'S BIG CROP. Heavy Yields of Everything in the "New Country." HOBART, O. T.—(Special.) Kiowa county's second crop season promises to end in a way that will destroy all cavil as to the future of this as an agricultural country. Notwithstanding a six week's drouth the remarkable fertility and moisture-retaining power of the soil is evinced by the excellent condition of vegetation over this county. Corn that was planted early is well matured and heavily eared, the yield for it being figured from thirty to sixty bushels an acre on second breaking. Sod corn in some parts will go from twenty to thirty bushels an acre. Kaffir corn and cane will make an especially fine yield. They are both drouth-defying plants and hence are proving a staple crop in this country. No matter how dry the season, they are never failures. More than an average yield of cotton is assured, even though the early part of the season was anything but conducive to the germination and development of the plant. It will be harvested as early as usual, and the increased acreage will mean large profits for the cotton planters. As to wheat and oats, little that is definite regarding them can be said, although the farmers appear to feel that the crop will be big. Most of these grains have been stacked, the producers holding them for expected higher prices. So far the yields have been twenty to forty bushels an acre for wheat and from forty to sixty-five bushels for oats. THE FIRST STEAM ENGINE. Russia. Claims to Have One 100 Years Older Than Watts' ST.

Commissioner Alexandrovsky expressed himself as favorably impressed with the progress of the exposition work and declared that Russia will be fittingly represented in its exhibit. "We will bring over to your fair a steam engine," the commissioner said, "made 100 years before the time of Watts, which, we claim, is the original invention." Oklahoma Militia Too Poor.

Saturate the human body with strong coffee and it will in time show in the complexion of the coffee drinker. This is caused by the action of coffee on the liver, thus throwing part of the bile into the blood. Coffee complexions are sallow and muddy and will stay that way until coffee is given up entirely. The sure way to recover rosy cheeks and red lips is to quit coffee and drink Postum Food Coffee which makes red blood. "I had been for more than 20 years an inverteate coffee drinker and it is absolutely true that I had so completely saturated myself with this drug that my complexion toward the last became perfectly yellow and every nerve and fibre in me was affected by the drugs in coffee. "For days at a time I had been compelled to keep to my bed on account of nervous headache and stomach trouble and medicines did not give me any relief. I had never consulted a physician in regard to my headaches and terrible complexion and I only found out the cause of them after I commenced the use of Postum which became known to me through Grape-Nuts. We all liked the food Grape-Nuts and it helped us so we thought Postum must certainly have merit and we concluded to try it. We found it so delicious that we continued the use altogether although I never expected it to help my health. "After a few months my headaches were all gone and my complexion had cleared wonderfully then I knew that my troubles had been caused by coffee and had been cured when I left off coffee and drank Postum in its place." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Postum will change the blood of any coffee drinker and rosy cheeks and health take the place of a yellow skin and disease.

The sheriff of Riley county emptied 160 gallons of beer into the gutter last week, which also helps to account for the Kaw having more than it could carry. Seventeen "PlP Phis" are spending the summer in Hiawatha. They are young women who belong to this fraternity at the State university, and as they are all pretty, they bear no relation to the Pie Phiz. Many Kansas papers are drawing a moral from the Winfield tragedy. There is hardly a town that hasn't its "Crazy" Twigg. There is a demand that persons whose lunacy seem "harmless" be guarded more closely. Sheriff Lucas is on his way to San Francisco to bring back Sharon, of the militia, who is accused of embezzling $350 of the guard's funds. The sheriff is allowed by law ten cents a mile going and coming, and the distance is 2,052 miles. His mileage alone will be much more than the amount Sharon is alleged to have stolen. Both Hutchinson and Topeka are advertising a "state fair" for this month, and so far neither side has made any effort to enjoin the other from the use of the title. Jewell City takes pardonable pride in a boy who is able to eat green corn without putting both elbows on the table. The Salina Journal resisted as long as it could, but finally yielded. It is running a department of "Thirty-two Years Ago." A doctor in Scandia returned a death certificate with his signature on the wrong line. It was on the space left for "cause of death." A Coffeyville paper takes a cartoonist to task for drawing an able cartoon representing a man milking a cow, in which the man is seated on the left side instead of the right. Billy Morgan sends this Swede story to his paper, the Hutchinson News, from Canada. It is old, but it is good: "While in the boat on Lake Erie the lake was rough, and many people were sick. A pale looking Swede was standing by the rail, and as the vessel rolled in the waves he was depositing in the lake the last of his breakfast. The steward went to him and said, sympathetically: 'Your stomach is a little weak to-day.' 'I don't know,' scrid the Swede, 'I tank I trow about as far as anybody.' A young woman in Howard, whose engagement is soon to be announced, refers to her hammock proudly as her "landing net." W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson is spending his vacation in Canada, and finds, by actual count, that there are 1,692 of the Thousand islands. An "ostensible" German Burial association in Newton was raided by the police a few days ago and a wagon load of beer was confiscated. The excitement incident to the rise in the Kaw river has enabled Topeka to forget, almost, the contest for the place of federal judge to succeed Mr. Hook. A boy in Great Bend has been acquiring a reputation among the girls as a Johnny Stlayate. A few nights ago he noticed that the clock at Pauline's home was not going and made mention of the fact. And Pauline, who was getting pretty tired, mentioned that she kept it that way to remind her of him. THE SALESWOMAN Compelled to Be on Her Feet the Larger Part of the Day Finds a Tonic In Pe-ru-na MISS NELLIE CURTAIN, 644 Pearl street, St. Paul, Minn., head saleswoman in a department store writes: "I have charge of a department in a dry goods store, and after standing the larger part of the day, I would go home with a dull ache, generally through my entire body. I used Peruna and feel so much better that I walk to and from the store now. I know Peruna to be the best medicine on the market for the diseases peculiar to women."—Miss Nelle Curtain. Nothing is so weakening to the human system as the constant loss of mucus. Catarrhal inflammation of the mucus membrane produces an excessive formation of mucus.

This discharge of mucus constitutes a weakening drain; the system cannot long withstand the loss of mucus, hence it is that women afflicted with cataratal affections of the pelvic organs feel tired and languid, with weakened or troubled brain. A reason for Peruna is sure to restore health by cutting off the weakening drain of the daily loss of mucus. An Admirable Tone, Congressman Mark H. Dunnell, National Hotel, Washington, D.
