Hoke Smith Inaugurated Governor of Georgia The Instigator of the Atlanta Riots In Accord With Booker T. Washington for Manual Training of the Negro. He says Blacks Should Be Taught Work, Less Books—He Favors the Disfranchisement of the Negro-Race Feeling or Bitterness Must Be Maintained In Georgia. Vol. XII Hoke Smith Ina Gover The Instigator of the cord With Book Manual Training He says Blacks Shou Less Books—He chisement of the or Bitterness Mu Georgia. The inauguration of Hoke Smith as Governor of Georgia was pulled off last Saturday, and Gov. Hokey who had a fine looking Negro woman at the head of his household affairs, in Washington, D. C., at the time he was a member of President Grover Cleveland's cabinet, and who if he would, could tell something about a white man by the name of Smith shooting through a plate glass window a few years ago, at a Colored man, who was passing a long the street in front of the office of the Atlanta Journal, in company with a beautiful looking Colored woman, whom the said Smith claimed as his own meat, and had forbidden her to appear in public with a he "Nigger," was unable to deliver his so-called inaugural address without taking a stab at the Negro. The instigator of the Atlanta riots who is in accord with Booker T. Washington, for manual training solely for the Negro, boldly declared that the "blacks should be taught how to work and less book learning. He went on record in favor of a new state constitution like the one in force in Alabama. He referred to the provision in the constitution of the United States which declares that "the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." In order to successfully disfranchise the Negro, and permit ignorant white men to vote like they do in Old rotten Alabama, he recommended the following amendments which should divide the voters into six classes as follows: 1. All persons who served in any war of the United States, the Confederate states, or the state of Georgia. 2. Their lawful descendants. 3. All persons of good character who understand the duties and obligations of citizenship. 4. All persons who can read and write correctly in English any paragraph of the federal or state constitution. 5. Owners of forty acres of land on which they live. 6. Owners of $500 worth of taxable property in the state. "The right to qualify under the third provision," he declared, "should expire Jan. 1, 1910, and under the first and second provisions Jan. 1, 1915. Any person qualifying under the first, second, or third provisions is qualified to vote for life, unless he fails to pay his taxes, commits a crime, or does some act subsequently to prevent his voting" There are many more important subjects than the disfranchisement of the Negro, confronting the people of Ga. but Gov. Smith passed, over them very lightly, in order to remind the Negro that he is an alien and a criminal in a strange land, and to let the world know that he is in favor of keeping up a bitter feeling between the races in this country, for these are his utterances a long the racial lines manned out by him: "Any plan for the Negroes which falls to recognize the difference between the white and black races will fail. The honest student of history knows that the Negro had full opportunity for generations to develop before the days of slavery; that the Negro race was improved by slavery, and that the majority of the Negroes in this state have ceased to improve since slavery. Few have been helped by learning from books. All have been helped who have been taught or made to work. "The Negro child should be taught manual labor and how to live. The Negro teacher should be selected less by book than by character examination. The Negro school should help the Negro, not injure him. Racial differences cannot be overcome by misguided" philanthropists." Hoke Smith, has proven himself to be another one of those ignorant traying jackasses who knows absolutely nothing of the past history of the Negro, nor of his many important achievements in all the walks of life, prior to his enslavement in America, and as long as the present Gov. of Ga. is so densely ignorant in this respect, and will persist in closing his large mule ears to all reason, and his eyes to the bright sunlight, and conduct himself like a drunken man riding backwards, there is no use in discussing these facts with him at this time. Gov. Smith, claims that the Negroes of Ga. have ceased to improve since slavery, notwithstanding the fact that at the present time the Colored people in that state are paying taxes on more than 20 million dollars worth of property; that thousands of them are educating themselves; at the same time helping to educate the children of their former masters, and assisting to maintain homes for the ex-confederate soldiers who endeavored to shoot these same Negroes back into slavery! Lastly Gov. Smith, judging from his wallings would like to return back to those good old days in the South, before the slave-holders rebellion, when every Southern gentleman expended all of his time in manufacturing slaves for the market, and in buying and selling his own flesh and blood! ASURDITY OF OUR FOREIGN TRADE. When this new world was discovered the governments of Europe and the people began to exploit all its resources to enrich themselves. No sooner, was, our, independence, of England secured than we began to do the same. We put labor to work at cutting down our forests and rifting our mines in order to export the products to Europe. Had her trade prevailed this could not have mattered in the long run. But protective tariffs built up the same factory system that exists in Europe and so instead of getting real wealth in exchange for our exports, we looked for money. And we have sent off billions after billions of lumber, coal, iron copper, gold and silver. What for? Solely to get as much money as possible. True we are obliged to take commodities despite our tariffs to discourage the exchange. The main object is to get all the money which our protectionists call wealth Now consider the hideous absurdity, even idiocy of this, we produce more gold and silver than all other nations and ship them off. Then estimated price swells enormously our exports. We do all this and waste our percious permanent resources that no time or labor can HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, JULY 6. 1907.

MONTCLAIR, N. J., July 4.—"The Negro must be dependent, in a measure at least, upon the white man, as he cannot hope to dominate him," declared former Governor W. J. Northen of Georgia, who was the orator at to-day's celebration here. Mr. Northen spoke to a large audience on the relations of the races in the South. "It is a great mistake," he said, "to believe that there is no kind of harmony between the better elements of the races in Georgia and at the South. Quite the contrary is true. The good class of Negroes is intelligent, progressive and resourceful. Its religion is not a sham. Its education has not spoiled it, and its devotion to duty is not inspired by the loaves and fishes." Its ideals are good, its social standards high and its life wholesome and elevating. If all American Negroes were of this clas there would be no "Negro problem." "All history shows that no two races, approaching in any degree equality in numbers, can live peaceably together unless intermarriage takes place or the one becomes dependent upon the other. "Miscegenation by law will never take place at the South. Unless the South breaks the record of all history, there is only one alternative left, and that is, that the Negro must be dependent, in a measure at least, upon the white man, as he cannot hope to dominate him."

A WHITE BRUTE. Ties a White Girl to a Tree and Repeatedly Outrages Her—Has Not Been Caught. Cumberland, Md., June 29.—Nellie Ctt, the 16-year-old daughter of John Ott, residing in West Virginia, about three miles south of Cumberland, was caught by an unidentified white man while on her way to Cumberland this morning about six o'clock, dragged by him to a place he had prepared in the woods, there tied to a tree, gagged and repeatedly assaulted by the man before she managed to escape. The man had constructed a blind of branches and leaves, and is thought to have been hiding there several days. After tying her to a tree he placed a towel over her eyes and stuffed rags over her mouth. He told her he had been watching for her the night before, and that he tried to get her yesterday afternoon. When he left the girl, he warned her against making an outcry and told her he intended to come back tonight and bring his chum, after which they intended to carry her off. When he had gone she managed to get the rags out of her mouth, and then began gnawing the cords that bound her arms to the tree. Once free, she made her way up the hillside to the road, where, in an exhausted condition, she informed some men who were passing in a wagon of what had occurred. While some of them started home with Miss Ott, others rushed to the scene of the outrage, arriving just in time to get a glimpse of a man as he rushed toward Cumberland. Constable James Stockley, of Ridgly, W. Va., organized a posse of men, who started to hunt for the assaulter. The man was seen in Ridgley about 11 o'clock and is thought to be in town in hiding in town or along the canal. Feeling over the matter is intense, President Roosevelt Fooled By A Bogus Indian Who Proves To Be the Son of Russell Sage's Negro Cook—Lionized By the "400" of New York City. Dusky Beau Brummel, as Antonio Apache, Poses as Grandson of the Famous Redskin Chief. New York.—Those without the pale of New York society will no doubt be interested to learn that one of the bons of the smart set, who has been extensively entertained by Mrs. John R. Drexel, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, and others, and whom President Roosevelt has consulted frequently in regard to Indian affairs, is no other than the son of Mrs. Russell Sage's Negro cook. Though known in the circles of the elite as Antonio Apache, grandson of the famous Chief Cochise, this dusky Beau Brummel began life as a Louisiana pickanin under the obscure name of "Tony Simpson." Denounce Negro as Scamp. That such is the true identity of a man whom they denounce as "the most fantastic faker that ever fooled New York," was declared today by William M. Cary and Edwin W. Deming, both of whom are well known New York painters of Indian life. "It is about time the true character of this imposter is made publicly known," said Mr. Cary. "He is not only a faker, but a scamp. He is the same Negro who stole a painting from me about nineteen years ago and in consequence served two years in Sing Sing prison." Antonio Apache, according to the testimony of Mr. Cary and Mr. Deming, has been able to exploit the credulity of the smart set for the last ten years because he made deception an art. Not only did he ape the Indian in physical appearance, but he also studied the habits and language of the red-skin. On top of his African curls he has been accustomed to wear a wig of coarse black Indian hair, which he brushed almost as smooth as patent leather. Those who have won his confidence say that he possesses an elaborate assortment of scalps, with hair of various lengths, and that he shifts and if captured by neighbors of Ott, the man will probably be lynched. The man was seen after the scene of the crime by a farmer shortly after the girl escaped. He is about 30 years old. Miss Ott was almost nude when she got out on the roadway and is now in a very serious condition.—Ex. This crime was committed by a white gentleman remember that.—Editor. SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. MAMIE TYLER Last Saturday, morning at 7:30 Mrs. Mamie Tyler, the constant and devoted wife of S. C. Tyler., 5023 Dearborn street, suddenly expired at Provident Hospital where she was making preparations to undergo an operation. Her sudden death was a great shock to her dutiful husband, mother and other relatives as well as her hosts of friends. Mrs. Tyler was well known in St. Paul, Minn., and St. Louis, Mo., where she had resided prior to moving to this city some four or five years ago. Funeral Services were held over her remains, at St. Mark church, 47th and State street, at 2:30 o'clock Monday conducted by Rev. J. C. Anderson who was a friend of the family in St. Paul. F. A.

Mrs. Drexel Entertains Him First. Society first began to entertain the alleged grandson of Cochise about two years ago, when Mrs. John R. Drexel invited a select number of guests to meet him. He was called Prince Anthony by the most charmed of his admirers, and at once invitations from the most exclusive homes of New York and Philadelphia began to be showered upon him. For a time he dropped out of the social horizon, only to appear a still greater favorite last winter at a ball at the home of Mrs. John Jacob Astor. His dancing attracted special notice, and he was pronounced one of the most graceful figures on the floor. Fools President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt has frequently dined with this "Indian" lion. Once when he was Governor of New York, Mr. Roosevelt invited him and General Leonard Wood to luncheon at the Union League club. Antonio told the President that he was a graduate of Harvard, and aroused such interest in his host that the latter piled him earnestly with questions. Antonio's answers were all so prompt that Mr. Roosevelt, turning to General Wood, said: "Here certainly is a fine type of American. Indeed, this fellow is the real American, the kind that, can be developed out of a race which is so generally considered to be decaying."—The Inter Ocean July 2. It must have caused Mrs. John R. Drexel, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, and President Roosevelt, and the other bloods of upper swelldom, to become deathly sick at their white stomachs, and heave up a whole lot of very black bile, when it fully dawned on their minds, that they had been hobnobbing with nothing more than a damn common "Nigger."—Editor. Mrs. Tyler possessed a sunshiny dis- position and she will be greatly miss- ed by her wide circle of friends. FIVE HUNDRED STATE TROOPS RUN AMUCK AT JAMESTOWN. Norfolk, Va., July 3.—Five hundred soldiers. members. of. the. Second South Carolina and First Kentucky regiments in camp at the Jamestown exposition grounds, ran amuck there tonight, taking possession of several shows on "The War Path." When the Powhattan guards intervened a riot followed several men being injured. The soldiers, who had been drinking, ignored doorkeepers, declined to pay admission fees, and refused to leave the buildings when ordered out. Guards were froced to use their sabers to beat the men back. Finally the guards arrested two ring-leaders, and with drawn sabers fought their way to the guard camp. One soldier named Brasher threw a stone which injured Capt. Carpenter of the guards. Brasher was felled with a black jack and his skull fractured. Later soldiers from the camp arrived and put an end to the riot. The rowdy conduct of these soldiers is further proof that all white men in the South are superior to the Negro. --- THE BROAD AX Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholic, Protestant, Roman Catholic, and English, and Knight of Labor, or any one else can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

THE PEKIN. All accounts agree that "Captain Rufus" at the Pekin, State and 27th sts., Chicago's own home of Colored comedy is a real success. This musical military play by J. Ed. Green and Alfred Anderson is much the best thing yet attempted by the Pekin Stock Company, and the most elaborate and pretentious production ever staged by Manager Motts. In all one hundred people are used in the interpretation of this unique play and it says a great deal for the stage management when it is remembered that the Pekin stage is small and yet with all these people the effect is not marred by unseeming crowding. The great battle scene which closes the second act is a veritable triumph in the best sense of that much a-bused term, and presents the thrilling and realistic picture of a real skirmish between American troops and Philippine insurgents. The scenic environment of "Captain Rufus" is true to nature, elaborate and handsome. The music of the play which was furnished by three of America's greatest Colored composers, Joe Jorian, J. T. Brynn and H. Lawrence Freeman is tuneful and is brought in a lucid and logical manner. The big song hits of the show are "The Mankey and the Snake", "Talent", "You Ain't Said Nothin' Yet", "The Great I Am With a Capital I", "The Lily", and "Chief of the Aggregation." Harrison Stewart is the chief fun-maker, ably assisted by Mat Marshall and these two comedians are so funny and as capable as ever were Williams and Walker in their palmiest days. Lawrence Chenault in the role of an insurgent chief has a striking make-up and portrays his part with fidelity. J. F. Mores, Charles Gilpin, Dan Wormley, Clifford Ross, George White, Lottie Grady, Jennie Ringgold, Pearl Brown and Anna Wilkens are all well cast and give a good account of themselves. The entire production is under the stage direction of the author Mr. J. Ed. Green and the musical numbers are staged by Billy Johnson, of Original Cole and Johnson. "Captain Rufus," is undoubtedly on for a long run and capacity houses have been the rule so far for the past week. CHIPS Mr. A. P.

He was without doubt one of the greatest surgeons of the present era. M. Safanoff, the Russian conductor, never uses a baton, though that weapon is usually regarded as indispensable by men in his position. Instead he waves his arms, clinches his fists and fights the air in a manner rather disquieting to the ordinary concert goer. John Redmond, M. P., is noted for the melodious character of his oratory. Not only is he one of the readiest of the house of commons debaters, but he is also one of the most eloquent. He possesses, in the opinion of many good judges, the finest and richest voice of any parliamentarian. Tahiti's widely known "pearl king," E.

CHOICE MISCELLANY Spain's New Coins. There is in contemplation a new issue of Spanish "baby dollars" in honor of the advent of a son and heir to King Alfonso and Queen Ena. The Spanish people are already used to seeing a baby's head upon their silver money, vast numbers of coins so impressed having been issued a few weeks after the birth of Alfonso himself, who was born into the world a king, his father, Alfonso XII., having died some months previously. This was a genuine coinage, done to circumvent the designs of the Carlist efflissaries, who circulated the story that no son had been born to the dowager queen and that consequently the line of succession in that direction was permanently cut off. Insurrection and anarchy followed hard upon these lies everywhere. Even in Madrid itself a revolution was started, but this melted away of its own accord when the infant king was shown to the people by his mother, standing in one of the windows of the palace. It was this incident that suggested the coinage of the coins in question. In the rural districts and especially in the mountains of Navarra and Catalonia the peasants had in many instances actually revolted, when the appearance among them of the new colns with the portrait of their infant king actually stamped on each caused them to throw down their arms.—Chicago News. Hotel Like Noah's Ark. The inquiry for a man named Wolf at the Palmer House, in Chicago, evoked such response that the manager asserted "a gamy collection of traveling men" was present. "Have you a gentleman here named Wolf-Leoapd Wolf?" the clerk was asked. Dave Lyon made the inquiry. He was answered in the affirmative and sent up his card. "Just tell him there is a Lyon after him," he said to the boy, with a laugh. "And if it will help any," said a traveling salesman standing near, "tell him a Bear is after him also." He then handed over his card, bearing the name Victor Bear, New York. While they laughed over the incident John A. Fox of Cincinnati, secretary of the rivers and harbors congress, stepped up and said, "And to make it a gamy bunch put a Fox into the kettle." Before the quartet stopped laughing John W. Fish, who had just registered from Atlanta, and Charles W. Hunter, from St. Louis, joined the group, the latter saying, "I guess this will about finish the game," and invited the gathering out to supper with him at the restaurant—What to Eat. Dog Likes to Swing. In the front yard of a house on East Ninth street a rope dangles from a branch of a tree. "Wonder what that rope's for?" asked one man of his companion as the two were passing the house. "Go in and ask if you're curious," the other advised. A young woman came to the door. "We—that is, I was sort of curious about what that rope on the tree is for," the inquisitive one stammered. "Why, that's Johnny's swing," the young woman answered. Out the door dashed Johnny, fox terrier. A leap and he fastened his teeth in the rope and, growling and jerking, signified that he was ready to swing. The young woman pushed him back and forth until he reached the topmost branches of the tree. "Johnny would stay there hanging on that rope all day if we would let him," she said. "That's why the rope is kept tied up out of his reach."—Kansas City Star. A Centerpiece of Dollar Bills With a centerpiece of crisp dollar bills as a feature a banquet was given at the Chittenden hotel recently by Daniel Kelly and F. O. Schoedinger to their fellow directors of the National Bank of Commerce. Covers were laid for nine persons, and on the plate of each one was a facsimile of the check book of the Bank of Commerce instead of the customary place cards. There were twelve checks in the books, each calling for a course of the banquet and made payable to the bearer at the "Chittenden bank," N. A. Court, manager. The dollar certificates were placed in circular form about a huge cut glass vase containing American Beauties and made a most artistic decoration—Columbus Dispatch. Japan Sends Us a Fish. A fish hitherto entirely unknown in America, the Japanese yellow fin albacore, recently appeared in great numbers on the southern California coast, says C. F. Holder in the Scientific American. It was first recognized by President David Starr Jordan, who said it-added another link between America and Japan. It is a good market fish, and the specimens captured average fifty pounds in weight. It resembles the tuna. The California fishermen hope that this particular oriental invasion will be continued in the future. The fish is known in the Hawaiian Islands, but has never before been seen in Californian waters. Wrecked by Knives. The loss of many English fishing boats is now believed to have been due to the fact that the man at the wheel carried in his pocket a specially forged fisherman's knife. These knives possess strong magnetic properties sufficient to deflect the compass needle two or three points. Many wrecks have occurred while steering an apparently true course, and the discovery of the knives is now believed to account for many wrecks. Copper is alloyed with tin to make bronze and with zinc to make brass. Concrete was recently successfully used in patching a great hole in a ship's bottom. The chances of sudden death are greater among men than women in the ratio of one to eight. Brazil, the finest fruit growing country on earth, spends over $1,000,000 a year on imported fruits. Of a million girl babies born S71,266 are alive at twelve months. Of the boys 30,000 fewer live through the first year. Among persons of social standing generally the world throughout the average age of marriage is at present men thirty-seven and women twenty-eight. Next to the United States the Argentine Republic has the largest percentage of foreign residents. Twelve out of every hundred people in Argentina are foreign born. FACTS FROM FRANCE Scientists believe that the Elfelf tower, Paris, acts as a lightning rod to protect the city. The first French newspaper, the Gazette de France, appeared in 1631 and was brought out by a doctor named Renaudot. Louis XIII is said to have written more than one article for it. The French war department is engaged in making out lists of motor vehicles which may be regarded as available in case of war. The automobiles are divided into three classes, according to the carrying capacity. The census includes the public service vehicles. The "Apaches," as the footpads of Paris are called, are now using sharp pointed files and scissors as weapons because these are not classed as weapons under the law. In the assaults that have occurred, however, both of these weapons have proved their effectiveness in inflicting serious injuries upon their victims. HOUSEHOLD HINTS When ivory handles have turned low rub them with turpentine, and it will very shortly restore their color. Feathers will fuff out and the ends will curl up if they are shaken over a warm stove upon which salt has been sprinkled. When putting down linoleum if you would have it smooth let it lie in place and be walked on for a few days before tacking it. A piece of pumice stone is the very best thing to scrape and scour iron kettles or any utensil that will not be injured by scratching. Oak furniture that has become dingy should be brushed over with warm beer and when thoroughly dry polished with beeswax and turpentine. Pictures should never be hung so high that it is necessary to mount a chair in order to see them. Hang so the center will be on a level with the line of vision of the person of average height. ENGLISH ETCHINGS. St. Marylebone is really "St. Mary at the Bourne," or brook. The value of house property in England is about £50 per inhabitant, while in Ireland it is only £15 per inhabitant. In London nearly half of the women earning wages are domestic servants, of whom there is one to every twelve persons in the population. The oldest hospital in London is St. Bartholomew's, which was established in the year 1123. In 1547 it contained a hundred beds. It was rebuilt in 1720. Asked the other day in a London police court what he did when he saw the prisoner brutally beating a woman, a witness replied, "I sent my wife for the police." The court of king's bench is so called because in olden times the sovereign used to preside in person. But the king did not interfere with the declisions of the judges. OLD FASHIONED. Bay Breasted Warbler. Have you taken him for a robin? If so, it is because of his chestnut breast. He's a bit smaller than the English sparrow. His forehead, sides of head and cheeks are black. There are white patches on the tips of his outer tail feathers. He's a great traveler, wintering in the tropics and nesting in Canadian treetops. He's capricious too. Sometimes with a large company he may stop here-abouts. Again he will take another route—St. Louis Republic. FACTS IN FEW LINES Gold may be beaten until one ounce is spread over 146 square feet. The population of Paraguay has increased in thirty-five years from 200,000 to 700,000. In the Oudtshoorn district, Cape Colony, there are 100,000 ostriches. The annual value of the feathers yielded by each blind is $35. Students of Pennington seminary, Pennington, N. J., found a skeleton in the ruins of an ancient building, with a pot of coins by its side. Professor Helberg, the Danish philologist, has unearthed a new manuscript of Archimedes at the Convent of the Holy Pulcher at Constantinople. The United States has more newspapers than any other country. Every week day there are 19,600,000 copies issued, and on Sundays the number is 11,500,000 copies. The proposed iron bridge to be erected at Yaulmanan, near Canton, China, is to be 1,220 feet in length and 40 feet in breadth. The capital of the company is to be $1,000,000 in 100,000 shares of $10 each. At present the population of Cyprus, after Sicily and Sardinia the largest island in the Mediterranean, is more than 250,000 as against 237,053 in 1900, three-fourths being Greeks and the rest Moslems. In Tasmania no person under thirteen years of age is allowed to smoke in a public place. Nearly everybody smokes in Japan. The girls begin when they are ten years of age and the boys a year earlier. To his collection of more than 800 relics Captain John Ryan of West Newton, Mass., a veteran of several wars, has recently added a cane the materials of which represent three wars in which he participated—the Mexican, civil and Spanish-American. Traders now pass freely between Calcutta and Tibet. The masses of Tibet are eager to trade with "the white people," says Consul General Michael of Calcutta. The important products of Tibet are borax, niter, rock salt, iron, silver, copper, gold, turquoise, lapis lazuli, musk, etc. The India rubber tree grows freely in gardens as an ornamental shrub in southern Italy, and steps are being taken to make an industrial business of growing it. Professor Bozzi of the Palermo botanical gardens exhibited a specimen at Milan recently containing as much as 85 per cent of rubber. Surgeon General Rixey has called attention to the curious fact that the navy, unlike the army, has no regular corps of trained nurses, and at the next session of congress he will urge the necessary appropriation for the organization of a nurse corps. With 45,000 he feels that he can make a respectable beginning in the organization of the proposed corps. Italy's tragedian, Tommaso Salvini, has got ready for himself a magnificent walnut wood coffin. Salvini has just been to Florence to assist in varnishing his coffin, which after his death will be sealed inside an enormous solid block of marble in the family mausoleum at the Porte Sante cemetery, in Florence, with the simple epitaph, "Tommaso Salvini, nineteenth century actor." To be worth $3,000,000 or $4,000,000, with a palace in fashionable Portland place and peers and ambassadors for neighbors, that is the lot of Henry Arthur Jones, the richest and most successful of living dramatists. He has literally "held the stage" these thirty years, ever since he produced the little one act piece, "It's Only Around the Corner," at the Theater Royal, Exeter, as far back as 1878. General Louis Botha, the Boer leader, while recently in London learned that a famous military chaplain, Mr. Collins, was ill in the Millbank Military hospital and every day sent the sick man an exquisite bouquet. Mr. Collins was the chaplain who from Sjonkop and Pieters hill reported manfully the great humanity and fairness of the Boers and their leaders in those sangulary engagements of the South African war. The French government is providing instruction in problems of aerial navigation in connection with the military establishment and the aeronautical clubs. The most important military post is at Chalais-Mendon, between Paris and Versailles, where La France, the first dirigible balloon ever built, was tried by Colonel Renard twenty-three years ago. Aeronautical work, it is said, has been carried on at this post for more than a century, it being a combined arsenal and experiment station. A fund is being raised at Mabstehorpe, Lincolnshire, England, to repair the belfry and bells of the old parish church. In all there are five bells, pitched in the key of F. No. 1 treble bell is undated. No. 2 bell bears the date of 1824, the third bell, dated 1724, is bacly cracked; the fourth bell is also dated 1724, while the tenor bell, which weighs 1,100 pounds, needs bands to prevent further cracking. The present belfry door was erected in 1714. For some time it has been considered dangerous to ring the bells. Captain Thomas Franklin, who is responsible for the food of the cadets at West Point, makes the following interesting statement: "For four years I have pasteurized every gallon of milk used in the cadet mess. We average 180 gallons a day, nearly all of which is drunk by students, very little being used in cooking. Previous to the time when we began to pasteurize the milk we had some cases of typhoid every year, and just before I put in the cadet mess the necessary plant to pasteurize the milk we had quite a number of cases. Since the milk has been sterilized these has not been a case of typhoid fever in the corps of cadets. It may be a coincidence, but I think not." WOMAN AND FASHION The New Tailored Waist Tallored shirt waists are never entirely abandoned by the fashionable woman, and they always hold their place in sporting attire. The newer models are much like those with which 1 SMART WAIST. we are familiar, plaited at the shoulders and with a shirt cuff buttoned with link buttons. There are some waists of the tailored style not so conventional. The waist illustrated has the familiar plaited body, but has a hand embroidered turndown collar and a small bow tie. There is a lace ruffled band running down the front of the blouse, which is also further ornamented by hand embroidery. Great Silk Sales On. This is one of the great times of the year to buy silk of any kind, for not only are all the new spring and summer silks on exhibition, but whatever has chanced to escape the winter sales can now be had at almost tempting prices. Frequently the reason that some handsome dress pattern has not been sold is owing to the price that was put upon it, and of course this figure has now to be reduced by half and more than half. Exquisite figured craps and most effective embroidered brocades are now to be found at what seem ridiculously low prices, and it is these silks that are worth looking into and purchasing, for they make most charming and serviceable gowns. Although the printed and painted chiffons have been fashionable throughout the winter, still their popularity is not one bit abated, and there is little or no hope of their being at all reduced in price for the present at any rate. Finishing a Tailored Skirt. One of the difficulties that the amateur dressmaker has to encounter is the finishing of the skirt made from cloth or similar material. To get the proper result the edge of the skirt should be bound with soft silk seam binding, then turned under to the depth of the hem. Making an inturn after the manner of the ordinary hem means an unsightly ridge when the skirt is pressed. The Glove Question It is an open question whether the glove bill is larger in winter or in summer—for the average woman. Warm weather sometimes means perspiring hands and ruined gloves possibly after a single day's wear. And again evening frocks for winter functions call for expensive hand coverings that must of all things be as fresh as possible, so that it would seem to be about an even thing. Coat Suit of Heavy Linen. A coat suit of wash material is a very useful summer costume. This one is quite novel in its design, but so simple that it is practical for the home dressmaker to copy. The skirt is a plain seven gore pattern, as that will always hang well in A DELFT BLUE LINEN. wash dresses. The cost has few seams and the fashionable 'kimono sleeve. Around the bottom of the sleeve and the low revers at the neck it is heavily embroidered with a white wash cord appliqued in a simple design. The fastening is one large pearl crocheted button. Relics For Trinkets Think of a girl so loyal to the naval officer she admires that she wears a steel bracelet wrought out of a section of the metal used in the ship on which he went on getting his commission! Such bracelets are worn by certain Washington girls. So are belt buckles of brass made in the shape of guns, anchors or shields of army or navy. Women show a fondness for adornment made of historic relics. The secretaries of war and of the navy are besought frequently for permission to appropriate bits of shells or of hulls of Spanish vessels destroyed at Santiago, sections of which are on view in the departments. Mr. Metcalf contemplates removing the cards from these relics in order to avoid the need of saying "No" to pretty, pleading mails who would so much appreciate a part of a scabband or a jewel from a historic sword. A Gaudy Banner. In celebrating what is regarded as a new era in the life of the international bureau of American republics incident to the opening of proposals for a pan-American temple there was displayed on the bureau building at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Jackson place a few days ago for the first time the newly adopted banner or burgee of the pan-American bureau. It is quite a striking object and attracted general attention. It is made of bunting eighteen feet long and eight feet across the base. It represents the twenty-one countries associated in the bureau and contains all the colors in the different flags of the twenty-one countries. Running through the center in large letters are the initials of "I. B. of A. R." At the top are small sections of blue and red, and at the bottom are yellow and green sections. It is almost a permanent rainbow. Furbishing the White House. The annual cleaning of the White House is under way. A large force of painters is now at work on the structure, and pretty much all of the four months the president is absent will be utilized in renovating and cleaning the exterior of the old building. As the first step toward a coat of new white paint a portion of the walls are being scraped and burned to remove the loose pigment and blisters, many of which have been found on various portions of the building. The walls of the White House were not painted last year. The experiment of washing with a highly recommended preparation was made. This was unsuccessful, as the wash seems to have cracked the paint and left the walls in bad shape generally wherever it was applied. Traffic In Rock Creek Park. According to the report submitted to the commissioners by the assistant engineer of Rock Creek park, the number of vehicles and pedestrians that passed Pierce mill into Rock Creek park on a recent Sunday between 1 o'clock a. m. and 6 p. m. is as follows: Automobiles, 494; two horse vehicles, 206; one horse vehicles, 1,231; horseback riders, 180; bicycles, 123; pedestrians, 1,467; number of vehicles, 1,991; total, 3,761. Profit In Fractions Gone Stamped envelopes will hereafter be sold by the postoffice department to the postmasters at an advance of 4 cents per thousand over the old price. The price will not be raised to retail purchasers, and the additional $50,000 a year that the department will receive will be derived from the fractional amounts received from the sale of envelopes and which the postmasters have heretofore been permitted to retain.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR There is a certain old gentleman who partakes of the qualities of the diamond as it is mined, but whose lack of "polish" is a sad trial to his oldest daughter. The old gentleman, as he expresses it, "got thar with both feet when some dude investors come plrutin' round the range." Not long ago the family was gathered in the library, one of the windows of which was open. "That air"—the father began, but was quickly interrupted. "Father, dear, don't say 'that air.' Say 'that there,' the daughter admonished. "Well, this ear"—he again attempted, but was as quickly brought to a halt. "Nor 'this 'ere,' 'This here' is correct,' he was told. The old gentleman rose, with an angry snort. "Look here, Mary," he said, with asperity. "Of course I know you have been to school and all that, but I reckon I know what I want to say, and I am going to say it. I believe I feel a cold in this ear from that air, and I'm going to shut the window."—Harper's Weekly. "Of course," said Lowe Comedy, "Ranter hoped to make a hit in the town with his show." "Ah, yes!" remarked Hl Tragedy. "But it was a fruitless hope, eh?" "Well, no, I wouldn't call it that. It wasn't altogether henfruitless, that's certain." -Philadelphia Press. A Frank Declaration.

Thompson. ‘When the offices of the New York corporation counsel were lately moved from the Staats Zeitung building and ‘were finally installed in their new quarters much of the ancient furniture which bad been in the buflding since the time of Delafield Smith was sent to the junksbop and replaced with new. ‘Among these pieces of furniture was ‘an old horsehair sofa which had a his- tory all its own, for on it in both the @ays of Delafeld Smith and William C. Whitney those people who wished to obtain an audience of the corpora- ~ nap eerste pointes Hider Among other strange tales which this ancient piece of furniture could tell is ‘of a meeting which took place upon its broad surface of three men, now long passed away, who were in their time inveterate gamblers, though only one of them was professionally engaged in ‘that business. One day John Morrissey, ‘Hubert O. Thompson and Oakey Hall all arrived in the outer office at the same time. ‘The three men exchanged greetings, and all three sat down on the old sofa. Morrissey was fingering the horsehalr cloth when he came across a hair. His Detting instinct at once manifested Itself. : “I will bet either of you gentlemen,” be said, “a thousand dollars that I can pull a longer hair out of this sofa than either of you.” ~ Oakey Hall took it up. “I will bet you a thousand,” he replied. Not to be outdone, Hubert 0. Thomp- son said be would take a hand in the game also. ‘The stakes, $1,000 each, were pro- @uced from bulky pocketbooks and then and there handed over to an em- ployee of Mr. Whitney's department.

This is hardly sur- prising, considering the extensive use ‘of wood for all kinds of construction im China. But more surprising is the fact that for-countless generations the Chinese have not changed the form of their tools. The Chinese carpenter's favorite tool is a little hatchet, with which he can cut surfaces as smooth as those produced with a plane. Only recertly has the hammer of the west ern world begun to find a place in the Chinese carpenter shop. Heretofore the Chinaman has universally used the back of his hatchet for hammering. ‘The gradual introduction of iron nails has brought the hammer with them.

King Alfonso XIII.’s Son and the Span- ish Succession. ‘The birth of a mule heir to the Span- Ish throne has for the present simplt- fied the question of the succession, a matter that has been responsible for much disturbance In the empire as well ‘as in the rest of Europe. ‘The trouble was acute so long ago ‘a8 1700, when Charles II. of the house of Hapsburg died childless after mak- ing Philip, grandson of Louis XIV. of France, bis successor. ‘This first Bour- bon king of Spain was not recognized by the other powers till after a long war, concluded In 1713. Philip, known es the fifth of Spain, proclaimed the Salic law the next year, limiting the succession to his male descendants. His great-grandson, Ferdinand VIL, one of the royal victims of Napoleon's ambition, was restored to the throne tm 1813. In 1830 he married bis fourth wife and abrogated the Salic law in spite of the protests of his brothers and of the French Bourbons. His daughter Isabella, born in 1830. was proclaimed queen on his death, three years later, with her mother as regent. Isabella's uncle, Don Carlos, asserted his clftim to the throne under the Selle law, but the regent succeed: ed in maintaining her daughter's posi- tion. Don Carlos’ descendants have ever since been pretenders to the Span- ish throne. The present Carlist cla‘m- ant is his gramison. Queen Isabella was driven from Spain by a revolt in 1868, and two years Inter the Spanish succession caused a fresh commotion in Europe. ‘The proposition to call to the throne a prince of a branch of the Prussian royal house of Hohenzollern was the apparent though not the real cause of the great war of 1870 between France and Germany. ‘The throne was offered to Prince Amadeo, a son of King Victor Emman- uel of Italy, but the task of governing Spain was too much for bim, and after a few years he abdicated. Then a re public was set up, but it lasted only two years, and Alfonso XII, the son of Isabella, was restored to the throne without the shedding of a drop of blood. On Alfonso’s death in 1885 his dangh- ter Maria succeeded him and was queen till Alfonso XIII, the present ‘king, was born, a few months later. ‘the ninth of the house of Bourbon te rule over Spain. | If the new prince should die and Al fonso have no other children his sis ter’s son would succeed him, and it the remote contingency of the direct Une of descent from Ferdinand VIL becoming extinct the Carlist claimant would become king.—Youth's Compan: fon.

It is really a concrete pavement re-enforced with a steel framework. The metal part of the pavement is a plate of perforated steel, with streng bolts of steel run- ning through it between the perfora- tions. Each section has some resem- blance to a steel harrow, only the prongs project equally on each side and they are square and blunt. It will be superior to asphalt in ultimate economy and to wood both in the bet- ter footing that it affords to horses and im the fact that it will not admit of dangerous ruts developing. The sam- ple laid cost $5.40 a square meter, a Ittle more than a square yard, but ‘when the work is done on a large scale it is believed the price can be cut to about $4.00.
