Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 3.—A sensational divorce action, in which there are many parallels to the Hartje case in Pittsburg, has been instituted in the Supreme court of Fairfield county by Henry J. Lord, a wealthy resident of Trumbull, six miles from this city, in which he accuses his wife of intimacy with their Negro coachman Henry Cameron. Mrs. Lord was Augustina Emanuel, a South Carolina beauty, who on their marriage brought a considerable fortune to the one already owned by her husband.
The Lords are members of the Greenfield Hill Country club, have been known throughout the State among the exclusive country homes of wealthy New Yorkers, and have exhibited a string of thoroughbreds for several years. Their country home is one of the show places of Trumbull, which is its if a colony of rich people. Mrs. Lord is an exceedingly handsome woman, and excels in horsemanship.
Mrs. Lord occupies the handsome country residence at Trumbull alone, with the household servants, and Cameron, the co-respondent, presides over the stable, in which there are many grooms.
The filing of the divorce action brings to a head the gossip of the clubhouses of the neighborhood and of the drawing rooms, in which since last March, the names of the beautiful society woman and the coachman have been linked. The case resembled the Hartje case in more respects than in having a Negro named as correspondent.
So high did the feeling run in the immediate neighborhood of the Lord home this afternoon when it was understood that the action had been filed that there were threats of lynching the Negro co-respondent. These threats did not materialize in even mild form however and the coachman was allowed to go and come from the Lord home without molestation.
He is described as being tall and broad shouldered, exceedingly neat in personal appearance, and about thirty years old. He is well known in the district because he has at various times been in the employ of neighbors and was esteemed because of his knowledge of horses. He is a light mulatto, and holds aloof from the Negroes of the neighborhood.
Henry J. Lord charges that his wife has been intimate with the coachman since March 10 last. The scandal of the intimate relations between wife and coachman were talked of in the neighborhood even before that date. At one of the recent affairs of the Greenfield Hill Country club there was considerable opposition to Cameron's entry as a driver in one of the exhibition events, but eventually he was allowed to drive. It was thought by those who opposed him that too determined a stand might cause a storm to break, which all have been fearing for some time.
Lord is said to have been so wrought up over his suspicions that he determined to shoot both Mrs. Lord and Cameron. His intimate friends, among whom the trouble was well understood, persuaded him that such a step would do no good, and accomplish only the bringing of disgrace on the head of his little daughter, of whom he is very fond. They advised that instead he satisfy himself with civil action. It is a fact that during the annual horse show at the Greenfield Hill Country club, Mrs. Lord and the Negro coachmen drove back and forth to the ground daily in each other's company, and that on occasions of the purchase of new horses to add to the string she always asked the advice of the Negro and had him look on as a prospective purchaser.
ARCHBISHOP NUTTALL
While in Richmond during the early days of the General Convention, Archbishop Nuttall, of the West Indies, gave to the Bishops, in their House in the Capitol, an address concerning the Negro problem. It was listened to by the Bishops with intense interest, in view of the fact that the matter was to come before them later. So marked was the general interest, however, and so excellent the address, the Bishops have made the address public. The address which the Archbishop states represents in form the preparation of an hour represents in substance the experience of a life time. It is in part as follows:
"Among the things which are clear to me is this: The suitability of our methods of worship and
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1907.
forms of teaching in the Angelican Church (British and America) to meet the needs and tastes of the of the black people, and to help them spiritually; and also their ability when properly instructed and informed, to take a full part, both as clergymen and laymen in the work and worship of the Church and their readiness to sustain the Church by their money contribution. These facts have been abundantly tested in the West Indies; and in the most complete way in Jamaica, because the Church there is an institution, supported and governed (since 1870) not as an Established church but on a voluntary basis.
I found abundant proof of the capacity of the colored and black people of Jamacia to develop, under favoring and helpful condition, as quickly as such development takes place in any other race.
"The question here arises: Can the black people be relied upon generally, in Church and State, at the present stage of their development, for taking an equal part in the public life and government of the community, the appointment of officials from among them being at the same time based on the exercise of equal electoral rights? My answer to that must be that I do not know. That question has not been fully tested in the West Indies, and there has been no means of testing it that I know of in America. There will always be individuals, however, who will stand out as capable and trustworthy men in state and ecclesiastical affairs long before the great body of the people has the adequate capacity for the full exercise of constitutional rights.
"You have about 10,000,000 Negroes, dwelling chiefly in the South; and most of the Anglo-Saxon people among whom they dwell and whose numbers are preponderant on the whole, are determined that it is right and best for both races that there should be no social fusion. There has been nothing approximating in the past to the practical question which you have to consider. You must make your own precedent in this as in many other matters affecting life in your country in this twentieth century.
"You have before you important proposal, namely the appointment of Negro Bishops as a means of solving your difficulties. It seems to me that in this great community of black people in this country and the hopes and strength to their leaders in Church relations, and also facilitate future progress, if Bishops, of their race should be appointed. It would certainly show the race, in a manner that could not be questioned, that it is not ecclesiastically tabooed.
"Let the colored people know that you mean business; that you mean to reach and help them and lift them up to the position of
brethren, welcomed and cherished in the church, for Christ's sake; that you have no cut-and-dried schemes for future development; that whoever, as clergymen or laymen, becomes fitted for higher position and service in the church will not find himself debarred therefrom; but that no office or position or privilege will be yielded to prejudice, or clamor, or pretension, or incapacity."
GANS TO CARE FOR DIXON
New York, Nov. 10.—Members of the sporting fraternity, who are as quick to forget as they are to grasp a winner by the hand, could profit by the lesson taught in a little incident which shows a fighter has virtue other than his ability to take or give a hard blow. Men who went out of their way a few years ago to speak to George Dixon, the great colored champion, now pass him on Sixth avenue without nodding. He doesn't recognize them as friends of his affluent days, and as not a dollar of the thousands he earned in the ring cling to him now, he is shunned by men who shared his prosperity in the old days. But he has one staunch friend—Joe Gans, the present lightweight champion and as wonderful a fighter as Dixon was in his time.
Dixon has been regarded as an object of puglistic charity for some time. As long as he could fight at all he made money but though he is a comparatively young man now, his strength has been sapped add he cannot make a respectable showing against a third-rater. His affluence departed with hii fighting ability, and for several years he has been living on an income that would not equal his tips in other days. At the McGovern benefit last winter Dixon got a thunderous welcome and a small share of the proceeds. Since them he has not been given many thoughts or presents by his old admirers.
But Gans, himself a colored warrior, says that Dixon will not round out his life in want as long as he (Gans) has a dollar. The present champion has purchased a hotel in Baltimore with some of the money he has earned in the ring and he is now looking for Dixon. Gans intends to retire and he says the two champions will soon be together for all time. Gans intends to make Dixon head bar keeper. His duties will be light. All that will be expected of him is his presence as a drawing card for the men of his race who once swore by him as they do by Gans now. He will allow them to buy drinks for him, and those who know Dixon are not afraid of him balking at a good turn and at the same time earn a pretty penny for himself. He thinks the spectacle of the two great colored champions doing
such a team sketch will be a lode- stone that will put many dollars in the till.
The hotel will be opened next week. Gans looked for Dixon in Boston last week and has written to friends here for information. He wants Dixon to wire him at once. Noboby seems to know just where Dixon is.
RACE NEWS
Gathered from Various Sources.
Washington, Nov. 12.—James A. Cobb, a Negro, has been appointed special assistant United States attorney for the District of Columbia.
The Montgomery, Ala., City Council, refused to grant licenses for a Negro to sell whisky in Montgomery, but 164 white saloon-keepers were granted licenses.
John C. Jordan who was chief gunner on Admiral Dewey's Flagship, the Olympia, and who fired the first shot in the Battle of Manila, was married in Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 7, to Miss Beatrice Helen Hicklin. They are now at home in Celebra, Porto Rico.
Brookhaven, Miss.—Hiram Case, Wiley Jarrell and John Greer, three white men, were tried here before Justices Douglass and Hoffman, charged with committing a criminal assault on Ann Powell, colored, and her daughter, a girl of 13. The defendants were bound over to the next grand jury in the sum of $500 each, in default of which they were sent to jail. The alleged crime was committed in the country a few miles east of Wesson.
Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 4.—In view of 300 persons "Jim" Davis, who had shot two colored women on Sunday leaped from the railing of the Tennessee River bridge to the water, 100 feet below and was drowned. Pursued by two deputy sheriffs, Davis climed on the railing and fired five times in the air, scattering the crowd which was trying to prevent the suicide. Then shouting "one, two, three" he jumped head foremost. Before leaping Davis asserted that he had killed twenty-eight persons.
York, Pa., Nov. 2.-The strange case of a colored girl 5 years of age, who is apparently becoming white, is interesting local physicians. The child seems to be in excellent health and no traces of a disease can be found. The parents of the child are colored, and when the child was brought to the Christian Home, where it is being cared for, it was black. The first intimation of the change in color came to the matron through a
NO. 8.
nurse girl who jokingly said she thought her scrubbing of the child was removing the dark color from her skin.
Pittsburg, Nov. 11.—David Malloy, a Negro, is under arrest here in connection with the killing of a white man at Madison, N. C. over a year ago. The arrest was brought about by Frieda Laferda, a white woman, who informed the local authorities that Malloy and the murdered man were suitors for her hand. The men quarreled one night at her father's house and Malloy, she alleges killed his rival and escaped. She came to this city with Malloy, but recently he abused her and she told the police of the crime. The police have communicated with the Southern authorities.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 7. The Board of Education, it is stated, has decided to dismiss George Yugama, a Japanese boy who was admitted to the night school two weeks ago. Yugama was admitted during the absence from the city of Superintendent Ashmore. When the latter returned and learned of it, he pointed out that it was a breaking of the racial line, which could not be done in the South. The boy will be dismissed on the ground that he is over the school age, which will prevent the matter becoming an international issue.
Dover, Del., Nov. 5.—John Wesley Thompson, aged 60 years, one of the wealthiest and most respected men of Kent county, met with almost instant death at his farm in West Dover, this afternoon by being thrown from his heavy farm wagon and run over, his neck being broken by the heavy wheels. Thompson was driving with two mules, out into the field, where his sons were husking corn. The mules became frightened and the tragedy resulted. Mr. Thompson was a leader among his race, and considered one of the shrewdest farmers in the country.
Pittsburg, Nov. 6.—Jim Brown is as black as a lump of coal, and he lives in the Bluefields district in West Virginia, but he is a hero. His name has been put before the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission as a man worthy of reward for his heroism. One day last week several little children wandered on the tracts of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. It was at a sharp curve. The fast flying Virginia Limited came along. The tots could not get out of harm's way, and the engineer could not see them in time to check speed of his train. White men turned their backs and shuddered, but Jim Brown leaped in front of the train and saved two of the babies. It was impossible to save the third, and it was ground beneath the wheels of the big engine. Jim Brown himself, narrowly escaped a horrible death. He undoubtedly, will have his name enrolled among Carnegie heroes.

BRYAN READY TO RUN AGAIN
TWICE A CANDIDATE WILL NOT REFUSE ANOTHER NOMINATION.
HE STATES POSITION
WILL NOT ASK FOR OR SEEK NOMINATION BUT ABIDE BY HIS PARTY'S DECISION.
Lincoln, Neb.—William J. Bryan will accept the Democratic nomination for President in 1908, if it is tendered to him.
This is the gist of a statement that appears under the heading, "Mr. Bryan's Position," in a prominent place on the editorial page of this week's Commoner. He makes it very plain that he will not seek or ask for the nomination, but if the ranks and file desire him to take it, he will accept, no matter who the Republican nominee may be or no matter what the prospects for success are. He says he has deemed it proper to make this statement at this time, so that his position may not be misrepresented or misunderstood. He says he has been amply recompensed by the party for all he has done, and is willing to fight in the ranks without being disappointed or disgruntled. He will not, however, permit his availability to be passed upon by a few leaders or newspapers that call themselves Democratic, but intrusts the decision to the voters of the party only. His statement follows:
Editorial statement by Mr. Bryan in Thursday's issue of the Commoner:
Thursday's issue of the Commander:
"A year ago last summer, while in Europe, Mr. Bryan, in an interview, stated that it was too early to discuss the campaign of 1908 from a personal standpoint, although during that summer the Democratic conventions in something like half of the states of the union had passed resolutions complimentary to him and mentioned his name in connection with the Democratic nomination for President. He has from time to time refused to discuss the availability either of himself or other candidates believing that the party should have all the light possible before attempting a selection. A presidential candidate should fit the platform adopted by his party, and platforms are made to fit the conditions existing when the platform is made. No one can see very far ahead or speak with certainty as to the issues or as to the relative importance of issues in the campaign. Sometimes a day will change the situation, and a few months may bring forward a new issue which will have an important bearing upon the availability of a candidate.
"For this reason Mr. Bryan has refused to make any announcement as to his own position although he has from time to time discussed issues old and new. Now that the election of 1907 is past and plans are being made for next year's campaign, he feels that a statement is due the public. Those who prefer another candidate are entitled to know his position, and those who favor his nomination have a right to demand an answer to the question so often put—"Will you accept the nomination?" His refusal to answer the question has led to the circulation of many false reports and unfriendly newspapers have taken advantage of his silence to misrepresent his attitude.
"Mr. Bryan will not ask for or seek a nomination; and he will not assume to decide the question of his availability. He has been so amply recompensed by his party for what he has done and for what he has endeavored to do that he cannot claim a nomination as a reward, neither should his ambition be considered, for he has had honors enough from his party to satisfy any reasonable ambition. The only question that ought to weigh with the party is whether the party can be strengthened and aided more by his nomination than by the nomination of someone else. If he can serve the party by being its candidate he will accept the commission and make the best fight he can.
"If the Republicans nominate one who straddles the issues and attempts to take both sides, it is none the less necessary for the Democratic party to make an aggressive fight. The action of the Republican convention may have its influence in determining the relative availability of the Democratic candidates, but it ought not to have any influence in determining the question whether the one chosen by the Democrats should accept the nomination. If the rank and file of the Democratic party desire Mr. Bryan to make the race, he will make it, no matter who may be the Republican nominee.
New Pike's Peak Railroad
Colorado Springs.—Within the next twelve months a second railroad will be completed to the summit of Pike's peak, according to plans meditated by the Manitou Incline Railway Company, which has just been incorporated with a capital of $220,000. The incorporators are N. N. Brumback of Denver, Charles L. McKesson, C. W. Stiff, E. L. Whitney and Claud L. McKesson of Colorado Springs. According to a preliminary survey the route to the top of Pike's Peak will be over the top of Mt Manitou and will be much shorter than the route of the present cog road.
Assaulted Boy Dies
Greeley.—An autopsy on the body of J. Mulligan, the sixteen-year-old boy found dead on the river bank near Evans Wednesday, shows that the ladied from violent injuries of a revolting nature inflicted upon him, his weakness and exposure. His three companions of the night before his death are held in jail as witnesses for the inquest. The boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Mulligan of Bloomfield, were here today and interviewed each of the three prisoners, who, it is claimed, told conflicting stories concerning their whereabouts Thursday night.
STATE ATTACKS THE FOOD TRUST
ATTORNEY GENERAL DICKSON FILES COMPLAINT IN DISTRICT COURT,
SEEKS AN INJUNCTION
CHARGES ILLEGAL CONSPIRACY TO FIX PRICE OF FOOD- STUFFS IN COLORADO.
Denver. — Injunctive proceedings were begun by the attorney general Thursday against the several associations and companies that are popularly believed to be parties to a combine in foodstuffs throughout the state, known as the grocery trust, and a complaint was filed in the District Court asking for an injunction restraining the combine from continuing as such. The complaint is stronger in its relations than the one filed last week against the coal trust of Colorado from the same office. The evidence contained in the complaint is direct. It brings to light documentary evidence that points to secret relations among grocers and companies regarding price lists and charges and blacklists.
The coal combine is going to show fight in the suit instituted to put it out of business as was made evident Thursday when Secretary Craig of the Rocky Mountain Coal Men's Association and Secretary Reichard of the Denver Coal Association, who had been summoned to appear before a commissioner and make deposition regarding the work of their respective associations, refused to appear. Their attorneys held that the attorney general had no authority to require them to testify. But the attorney general will appear in the District Court, where the original suit was filed, and ask an order requiring the two officials to appear and testify before the commissioner.
The defendants in the injunctive suit against the grocery pact are:
The J. S. Brown & Brothers' Mercantile Company, the Nave-McCord Mercantile Company, the Struby-Estabrook Mercantile Company, the C. R. Hurd Brokerage Company, the Merchants' Biscuit Company, the Northern Colorado Wholesale Grocery Company, O. B. Kindle of Pueblo, W. G. Cain of Aspen, T. H. Douglas of Colorado Springs, W. H. Howell of Trinidad, A. T. Sweet of Denver, H. A. Galbraith of Fort Collins, J. N. McLellan of Longmont, J. A. Beckman of Victor, G. E. Simonton, J. K. Gardner, F. D. Thompson and S. W. Babcock, all of Denver, and the Jacob-Savagean Company, the Denver Jobbers' Association, the Retail Merchants' Association, Denver Retail Grocers' Association and Denver Local No. 1, a branch of the Retail Merchants' Association.
The complaint is one of great length and it charges that by reason of contracts, conspiracies and agreements the defendants fix arbitrarily the price of all foodstuffs sold in Colorado and control the food supply of the state.
All the schemes known to combine of this nature are charged against the grocery trust, including the blacklisting of those merchants who do not live up to the agreements fixed by the heads of the combines. This combine is a close corporation. There are some sixty-six "locals" connected with the parent retail organization scattered all over Colorado.
Bombmaker Is Lucky.
Denver. After deliberating three hours, the jury in the case of Kemp V, Biglow, the boy bombmaker, charged with attempting the life of David H. Moffat, millionaire banker, returned a verdict that the lad was guilty of simple assault, which means that if a maximum sentence be imposed the young man will have to serve only six months in the county jail.
Biglow, according to his own confession, which is not denied by the defense, sent bombs to Gov. Henry A. Buchtel, David H. Moffat, Lawrence C. Phipps and Charles B. Kountze, the three latter men of millions.
It is true that Biglow, who is but twenty-one years old and who looks only sixteen, can still be prosecuted on the Buchtel, Phipps and Kountze charges, but after the outcome of the Moffat trial it is hardly probable, it is said that the other cases will be pushed.
After he serves his sentence the federal authorities will try him on the charge of sending a letter to the Adams Express Company with the idea of defrauding that and other concerns. The maximum penalty for this offense is eighteen months in the penitentiary and therefore it is not possible that Kemp V. Biglow will ever serve more than two years for his bomb making and sending threats, the confession of which started the world.
It is claimed by some that Biglow had knowledge of the Colorado and federal laws when he attempted his extortions. He is the son of a school superintendent and was in school from early boyhood.
Wyoming Man Appointed.
Washington.—The position of associate justice of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, made vacant by the death of Judge McComas, was tendered to United States District Judge William H. Hunt of Montana, who declined it. Thursday President Roosevelt announced that Josiah A. Van Orsdel of Wyoming would be appointed.
Mr. Van Orsdel, who is forty-seven years old, has been county attorney of Laramie county for two years, Wyoming attorney general, judge of the Wyoming Supreme Court one year, and assistant attorney general of the United States in charge of work before the Court of Claims since February, 1906. His new appointment is for life, and pays a salary of $7,000 a year.
Habitual Constipation
Habitual Constipation
May be permanently overcome by proper personal efforts with the assistance of the one Truly beneficial laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, which enables one to form regular habits daily so that assistance to nature may be gradually dispensed with when no longer needed as the best of remedies, when required, are to assist nature and not to supplant the natural functions, which must depend ultimately upon proper nourishment, proper efforts, and right living generally. To get its beneficial effects, always buy the genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna
HERE'S A NEW DEFINITION.
And Many There Are Will Say Senator Platt Was Right.
A rather cynical joke has been recently credited to Senator Platt.
The senator, on his last visit to the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed a pretty little girl, a western millionaire's daughter, to be presented to him.
The little girl, in the course of one of her many chats with the aged statesman, said:
"Tell me, won't you, senator, what political economy is?"
"Political economy, my dear child," Senator Platt is said to have replied, "is the art of never buying more votes than you actually need."
BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE.
Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Reslieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure.
"Eczema appeared when our baby was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards improvement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906."
Restricted Choice.
"The people and the corporations," said Senator La Follette the other day, "remind me of a woman and her little boy. There was a very large chicken and a very small duck on the table and the woman, pausing with the carving knife raised, said: 'Johnny, which will you take, chicken or duck?' Duck,' piped Johnny. But the mother shook her head. 'No, Johnny,' she said in a firm, yet kindly voice, 'you can't have duck, my dear. Take your choice, darling, take your choice, but you can't have duck.'"
The Peaceful Cow.
She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a placid animal recumbent under a tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she at first refused to go through the pasture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by, when the cow slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they always do. At this the little lady shrieked with terror, and said: "Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting ready to spring at us!"—Harper's Magazine.
Mary Knew.
Little Mary's father had been teaching her to walk properly. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes," he admonished her.
While she was undergoing this teaching she attended Sunday school one day. The golden text was, "Teach me to walk honestly." After reciting it several times, the teacher asked:
"Who knows what that means?"
"I do," replied little Mary. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes."
Want to Know.
Not long ago a Boston municipal official, who is a stickler for the use of good English, had occasion to consult a physician new to the community.
After the examination, the doctor said: "All you need, sir, is a tonic in the shape of fresh air."
"Would you mind telling me," said the purist sarcastically, "what is the shape of fresh air?"
PLEASANT SUMMER
Right Food the Cause.
A Wis. woman says:
"I was run down and weak, troubled with nervousness and headache for the last six years. The least excitement would make me nervous and cause severe headache.
"This summer I have been eating Grape-Nuts regularly and feel better than for the six past years.
"I am not troubled with headache and nervousness, and weigh more than I ever have before in my life. I gained 5 lbs. in one week."

Wireless Telephones for British Warships
The British admiralty have made all arrangements for installing wireless telephones in some of the vessels of the fleet and the work is being carried out by the Radio Telegraph Company. It is claimed that by these wireless telephones conversation can be carried on between two vessels that are thirty miles apart. The voices heard on these wireless telephones are clear and distinct, and telephoning is in many respects easier at sea than on land. The wireless telephone may be of great use to vessels in foggy weather. They can speak each other at considerable distance, and the admiral of the squadron might from his cabin talk to every vessel of his fleet.

Little attention has been paid to the physiological effects of odors, and a German physician enters a new field in his work of confirming a popular belief that strong perfumes have an intoxicating and benumbing action. His experiments were made by placing frogs under glass bells with sponges saturated with the essences. As in chloroform poisoning, a brief excitement is followed by partial or complete paralysis, and the many odors tried seemed to differ only in rapidity of action. Musk was one of the slowest. Camphor, peppermint, lavender and cloves were slow, while aldehyde, turpentine, elder flower, ylang-ylang, asafoetida, carbon disulphide, mustard and nicotine were rapid and energetic. Instantaneous action was noted in some cases. Jumping about a moment or two in a lively way, the frog would very soon stop, close his eyes and rub his nose, while breathing and heart action became slow and he freely perspired. Continued a little longer, the odor caused convulsive breathing, rolling of the eyes, and gradual stoppage of the heart.
Most people are more than satisfied with their misfortunes.
Most women have a head for figures when it comes to looking out for No. 1.

PRESIDENT TELLS WHY IT WAS
OMITTED FROM THE NEW
GOLD coINs.
CAUSED IRREVERENCE
WAS FOR MANY YEARS THE OCCA-
SION OF JEST AND RID-
ICULE.
| Washington.—In answer to one of
| the numerous protests whieh have been
received at the White house against
the new gold coins which have been
coined without the words, “In God we
trust,” President Roosevelt has written
a letter which he has made public. The
letter follows:
| “When the question of the new coin-
age came up we looked into the law
and found there was no warrant therein
for putting “In God we trust” on the
coins. As was the custom, although
without legal warrant, had grown up,
however, I might have felt at liberty
to-keep the inscription had I approved
of its being on the coins. But as I did
not approve of it, I did not direct that
it should again be put on. Of course
the matter of the law is absolutely in
the hands of Congress, and any direc-
tion in that direction will be immedi-
ately obeyed. At present there is no
warrant in law for the inscription.
“My own feeling in the matter is due
to my very firm conviction that to put
a motto on coins or to use it in any
kindred manner, not only does no good,
but does positive harm, and Is in effect
irreverence, which comes dangerously
close to sacrilege. A beautiful and sol-
emn sentence such as the one in ques-
tion should be treated and uttered only
with that fine reverence which neces-
sarily implies a certain exaltation of
spirit. Any use which tends to cheapen
it, and above all, any use which tends
to secure its being treated in a spirit
of levity, is from every standpoint pro-
foundly to be regretted.
“It 1s a motto which is indeed well
to have inscribed on our great national
monuments, in our temples of justice,
in our executive halls and in buildings
as those at West Point and Annapolis,
in short, wherever it will tend to
arouse and inspire a lofty emotion in
those who look thereupon. But it
seems to me eminently unwise to
cheapen a motto by use on coins, just
as it would be to cheapen it by use on
postage stamps, or in advertisements.
As regards its use on the coinage, we
have actual experience by which to go.
In all my life I have never heard any
human being speak reverently of this
motto.on the coins, but I have literally
hundreds of times heard {t used as an
occasion of, and incitement to the
sneering ridicule which, it is above all
things, undesirable that so beautiful
and exalted a phrase should excite. For
example, throughout the long contest
extending over several decades on the
free coinage question, the existence of
this motto on the coins was a con-
stant source of jest and ridicule; and
this was unavoidable. Everyone must
remember the innumerable cartoons
and articles based on phrases like ‘In
God we trust for the cight cents;’ ‘In
God we trust for the short weight;’ ‘In
God we trust for the 37 cents we do
not pay,’ ete., ete, Surely I am well
within the bounds when I say that a
use of the phrase which invites con-
stant levity of this character is undesir-
able. If Congress alters the laws and
directs me to replace on the coins the
sentence in question, it will be immedl-
ately put into effect; but I very ear-
nesily trust that the religious senti-
ment of the country, the spirit of rev-
erence in the country, will prevent auy
such action being taken.

Boulder Murder Trial.
Boulder.—Giving in minute detail
the story of events culminating in the
fire and explosion that wrecked the
Colorado & Southern freight depot at
Boulder and cost the lives of four per
sons last August, the confession of J.
W. Reeve was read to the jury Wed
nesday.
Drink—drink—drink—this is — the
burden of the greater portion of the
statement. Toindulgence in intoxicants
the accused man lays the responsibil
ity for that night of mad intoxication
and mad destruction,
With brains numbed and passions
inflamed by the fumes of liquor, ac:
cording to the confession, two men de-
termined to start a fire that would de
stroy the railroad’s property, regard-
less of danger to human life.
“I did not know the dynamite was
there,” says Reeve. “When I heard
the sound of the explosion I wanted
to die.”
Letters written by the prisoner
while in jail, stating that he expected
a term in prison and preaching the
pathetically tragic lesson drawn from
his own example, were also read to
the jury, while some of those who
crowded ‘the court room at Boulder
joined the defendant in tears, theirs
of sad sympathy, his of bitter re-

TUERE is a settled impression in the minds of white Americans
xenerally, from President Roosevelt down to the common lounger, that
Negmes are inclined to protect and hide those of their race who have’
committed orime and are fugitives from justiog, under some curious ra
vial instinot which impels them to distrust and unite against the al
man's law process. This impression played its part in the dismissal
of the soktions changed with shooting up the town of Brownville, and
Vresidtont: Roosevelt 'S adoption of the “conspiracy of silence” idea, by
whieh it was taken for granted that more than one hundred and Sty
mon were stecessfully following this singular racial trait and hiding
fifteen or sixteon of their mumber from just punishment, implied his
strong belief in this indictment against a race af people.
In those southern sections where lynch law is better established
than is criminal jurispradence, and where a Negro changed with any
serions erime sekhom if over aequtitted, reganiless of his actual guilt
or Innocenee, it is a fxet that a guilty Negro often finds: jon of |
one kind or another among those with wham ke Cosedty associates,
vor those who are more or less of his particular class This fact, how.
ever, is not based upon any racial instinet, Tt is a trait common to
oriwinats and the lower classes of all races. It is Just as mach in ev.
stonce as it is in New York City as it is in New Orleans and just as
ommon dn Colorado as itis in Geongia, In certain Caneasion soci.
oties and organizations in existence in various sections of the coun
{ry, some notoriously criminal and others presumably founded on lecal
objects, Uhis trait has been reduced to a setence which Neen seeretive-
Ness anywhere cannot approteh, But all this is plain to these who exe
eute The law because the criminals in these casos are of thelr own Tace
amd their habits and instinets are thoroughly understood. Bat « simi-
lar and perfectly natural tondeney upon the part of criminal and de

yather than highly developed, leads white men to believe that all
Negroes are given to this Seale trait in common defiance: of law and

wants an opportunity for expressing its individuality and of receiving
some recognition of individual achievement; and the young man takes @
line that seems to be open to him, and does the best he can with his
talents—more desirous, really, of showing what he can do and getting
credit for it than of amassing a fortune. z
While 40 much of our activity is along: lines of business, where,
with our great opportunities, special talent is liberally rewarded, undoubt-
edly rich returns come to many, and undoubtedly with these rich re-
turns many of the more honorable ambitions of early youth are forgotten
and ideals become corrupt.
But there is one thing more important than anything else, and that
is that within there should be a citadel which none can assail, a fortress
that cannot be carried by assault, that is proof against any kind of at-
tack; and that is the citadel of self-respect.
‘The seoret is within, not in external conditions. A man has to live
with himself, and he should sec to it that he is always in good company.
Whether his lot is prosperous, whether his talents are such as to win
certain kinds of success, or whether he has opportunities which come to
some and are denied to others, if that citadel remains impregnable, he is
& man and a successful man, and he is a happy man. Without this

temporarily gone out of exisicnce. Fatigue is a destructive agent like
sickness and death. It is avcondition which in the nature of things we
cannot ayoid, but it is impagiant for us to know what it is and how to
deal with it,
Now when fatigue begins to attack the personality, it naturally un-
Germines these latest strata first. When a man is exhausted he finds it
difficult to be patient. This is not his fault. It is because fatigue has
forced him back a few hundred generations. His self-control is at low
ebb. The smallest annoyances are sufficient to make him lose his temper.
‘The same holds true of all the recent character acquisitions. Many
temptations are more violent and barder to resist when a man is fa-
tigued. His moral sens is dulled. He loses the vividness of his dis-
tinctions between right and wrong, honesty and dishonesty.
We degenerate from the top down. The last thing acquired is the
first thing. lost. ’
Therefore bodily vigor is a moral agent. It enables us to live on
higher levels, to keep up to the top of our achievements, We cannot afford
to lose grip on ourselves.
The only thing to do with fatigue, then, is to get rid of it as soon
as possible. As long as it is with us we ought to realize that we ar
not our normal selves and act in accordance. Important questions must
not be decided then. It is a bad time to make plans A man has lost
his faculty to see straight
The time when faticue becomes a really dangerous agent of des-
traction is when a norms] amount of rest does not do away with it—
when it piles up day after day, so that « man comes from his work
tired and goes to it tired. Sach fatigue as this keeps him living on a
low level of efficiency. He mever gets up to his possible best. Over-fa-
tigue is fatigae that docs not disappear before the next exertion. Over-
fatigue piles up against the day of wrath.
The sooner the young
man dealing with men
learns to study himeelf
to discover the reasons
for his small failures, the
sooner he is likely to be
on the road to the round-
ef ends of his ambition.

Keen Scent of Dogs.
Sometimes what seems marvels of instinct may be only proof of remarkably keen senses. A dog carried far from home in a closed wagon or in a box may go back, quickly and unerringly, by following the odor of the wheels of the vehicle in which he was taken through unfamiliar roads. Not all dogs can do such things, but some have powers of scent which are almost beyond belief.

DR. BELL'S NEW AIRSHIP
THE SIGNET LAUNCHED ON LAKE AT BADDECK, IN NOVA SCOTIA.
IN FORM OF GREAT KITE
DISTINGUISHED INVENTOR HOPES TO SOLVE PROBLEM OF AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Baddeck, N. S.—After many years of experimental work, the contrivance with which Dr. Alexander Graham Bell hopes to solve the problem of aerial navigation was successfully launched Wednesday in the presence of intimate friends of the inventor and a few of the more prominent citizens of the place. The launching took place at the Bell laboratory, the ceremony of christening being attended to by Mrs. Bell, who in breaking the bottle of champagne over the bow of the ship, declared its name to be "The Signet." At 3 o'clock the doors of the workshop were thrown open and the kite was conveyed to a float upon which it was towed out on the waters of Brasador lake. Owing to the adverse weather conditions, however, a flight was not attempted. The kite, or ship, is in itself a section of a tetrahedron, 13 metres long on top, 10 metres along the bottom by 3 metres deep.
It is composed of 3,386 units, or small tetrahedrons, two faces of which are covered with silk, thus forming a two-winged cell. These cells, so arranged, are said to give, as the results of many tests, the maximum stability with the lightest weight.
A hole is cut through the center of the contrivance to furnish accommodation for the motor and a visitor. The ship is also provided with a bow for sailing purposes.
Three floats are used as a part of its construction to support it while floating on the lake.
A Curtis motor is used. It is of four cylinders, twenty-horse power, and weighs 129 pounds; it drives two solid screw propellers on the same shaft but in opposite directions. These are employed to reduce the turning movement which results in a tendency to overturn the ship when only one propeller is used, or two are driven in the same direction.
Buried Miner Rescued.
Mahanoy City, Pa.—The Draper mine at Gilberton has given up its prisoner, Michael McCabe, not dead, but alive and well, except for the shock sustained by his harrowing experience.
After being imprisoned for eighty-seven hours, several hundred feet underground, almost directly under his own house, where his family mourned for him as dead, McCabe was taken from his living tomb at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, barely alive.
He threw his arms about his rescuers with a burst of tears, then sank to his knees and offered a prayer of thanks for his deliverance.
That day all Gilberton enjoyed a holiday.
Pushing, shoveling and digging in a fever of energy, the early shift of rescuers, who were part of the band of thirty fighting their way through the headings, at five o'clock Tuesday broke through into breast No. 4, down which the culm from the washery swept when McCabe's last shot weakened the surface and brought it tumbling into the mine.
The breast was choked with culm, but there was a single chance that McCabe was alive in the heading beyond, and the three men worked with energy and at exactly 5:20 o'clock an opening was driven into the heading, from which in a moment there issued a single cry.
McCabe was alive and knew his rescuers were at hand.
A few moments more and he was in their arms.
Although his system is severely shocked by his awful experience, no serious results are expected by the attending physicians.
McCabe says that he subsisted on tobacco, coal oil and by chewing wood from the mine timbers.
Burdette's Big Potatoes
Greeley.—In answer to a promise made to Robert J. Burdette, the preacher-humorist of Pasadena, California, Frank Frost, a former parishioner, sent him three potatoes weighing together fourteen pounds, and a photograph of them. Burdette's friends thought it was one of his jokes when he told of the size of Greeley potatoes, and he wanted to verify his statements. Mr. Frost has just received the following letter from Burdette:
"Dear Brother Frank—The spuds have arrived, following right on the heels of the photographs. As is the case with all distinguished creatures, the photographs do not do the spuds half justice. We do not know whether to eat them or have them varnished and preserve them. I am going to take your letter to the prayer meeting Wednesday night and I don't think it would be wicked to take in the big potato."
Long Tunnel at Tacoma.
Tacoma, Wash.—John D. Farrel, who has charge of the Harriman interests in Washington, announced Tuesday that work on the Union Pacific in Tacoma will begin about December 1st. Work all along the line from Portland to Tacoma is progressing satisfactorily. Mr. Farrel said: The Tacoma tunnel will be $7,700 feet long and will be one of the biggest pieces of construction work on the Union Pacific extension. It will be of concrete construction and double-tracked. The cost will be about $3,000,000.

Unable to Move About On Account of Kidney Troubles.
Mrs. Anna Beebe, River and Monroe St., Anoka, Minn., says: "I had to sit in a chair day after day unable to move about on account of rheumatic pains in my back, hips and legs. I was short of breath and my heart would flutter after the least exertion. I had dizzy spells and bearing
sit in a chair day after day unable to move about on account of rheumatic pains in my back, hips and legs. I was short of breath and my heart would flutter after the least exertion. I had dizzy spells and bearing down pains and the kidney secretions were much disordered. I thought I would not live long, but since using Doan's Kidney Pills' I am a different woman, can do my own work and have no fear of those troubles returning." Sold by all druggists. 50 cents a box.

Shy One Fare.
Inspector Johnson, of the Columbus Railway company, tells the following story of one of his new conductors:
The inspector had boarded a car on one of the East Side lines and glancing at the register, noticed that there were nine passengers on and only eight fares. He touched the conductor on the shoulder, a green man from the country, and said:
"You are shy one fare. There are nine people on the car and only eight fares collected."
"By gosh," said the conductor, "that's right," and hastily grabbing the bell cord, he stopped the car and yelling at the passengers ordered one of them to "git off."—Columbus Despatch.

DO YOU GET UP
WITH A LAME BACK?
A almost everybody who reads the news-
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
A man is bending over to pick up a bottle.
It is the great medical triumph of the nineteenth century; discovered after years of scientific research by Dr. Kilmer, the eminent kidney and ladder specialist, and is wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, uric acid, catarrh of the bladder and Bright's Disease, which is the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work and in private practice, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root, and how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper and send your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The regular fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles are sold by all good druggists. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.

Blind, Perhaps, But No Reasonable Proof of Deafness Also.
Judge Harlan, who lives up on the hill, was a passenger on a Fourteenth street car the other day and was seated next to a couple of clerks who were deeply interested in some discussion, which caused one of them to raise his voice to quite a high pitch, says the Washington Star. This appeared to make the other man rather cautious, as he glanced warily around to see if any one was listening to the talk of his friend. At this moment he discovered the presence of the dignified justice and turning hastily to his loud-talking comrade, he said: "For heaven's sake, lower your voice; you may have heard that justice is blind but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's deaf also." Whether Judge Harlan heard the remark it is impossible to state, yet, all the same, a calm smile flitted over his face at the conclusion of the young fellow's admonition to his friend.
A. Slight Difference.
"My dear," said a gentleman to his wife, "where did all those books on astronomy on the library table come from? They are not ours."
"A pleasant little surprise for you," responded the lady. "You know, you said this morning that we ought to study astronomy, so I went to a book store and bought everything I could find on the subject."
It was some minutes before he spoke.
"My dear," he then said, slowly, his voice husky with emotion. "I never said we must study astronomy. I said we must study economy."
TO PRETENDERS.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.
Just a word to you, "Collier's" and other glaring examples of Modern Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes. Environment gives you a view-point from which it is difficult to understand that some people even nowadays act from motives of old fashioned honesty. There are honest makers of foods and healthful beverages and there are honest people who use them. Perhaps you are trained to believe there is no honesty in this world. There is, although you may not be of a kind to understand it. Some of you have been trained in a sorry class of pretenders, but your training does not taint the old fashioned person trained without knowledge of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to us absolutely without solicitation. We have a great many thousand from people who have been helped or entirely healed by following the suggestions to quit the food or drink which may be causing the physical complaints and change to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food. You are not intelligent enough to know the technical reasons why the change makes a change in the cells of the body. Your knowledge, or lack of knowledge, makes not the slightest difference in the facts. You can print from old and worn plates all the cheap books your presses will produce and sell them as best you can, but such acts and your "learned" editorials are but commercial, and seek only "dollars" and much by pretence.
When you branch out into food values you become only ridiculous. Stick to what you know. The field may be small but it is safe.

Dear Sirs:
I am, this morning, in receipt of the enclosed mighty good letter from one of my subscribers, which I forward to you, and which I am sure you will be glad to use. I am personally acquainted with this lady, and know that she has no object in writing, other than to do good.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 1, 1907.
Dear Mr. Pritchard:
Noticing Postum Food Coffee advertised each week in your reliable paper, I concluded to try it, and feeling it a duty towards those who may have suffered as I have from indigestion, desire to state what wonderful benefit I have received from Postum although using only a short time, and not do. I alone realize and appreciate its good effects, but friends remark, "How much I have improved and how well I look", and I tell the facts about Postum every time, for since using it I have not had one attack of indigestion. It is invigorating, healthful; does not affect the nerves as ordinary coffee, and if properly made, a most delicious drink. Although I have not had much faith in general advertising, yet, finding Postum has done so much better for me than I expected I am more inclined to "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good." I am so thankful for good health that I want it known what a blessing Postum has been to me. You may use these few lines as an ad. If you so desire and my name also.

"It is a curious thing," said a prominent lecturer recently, "how some books have a strong radiating personality, so that you feel like saying 'Howdy' every time you come across them. Last Christmas I visited friends back at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes had been put away, the chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for a good old fashioned 'sing.' On the center table were strewn the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them I suddenly exclaimed 'Hello!' my good friend, Hello!' and as the others looked up with surprise, I picked up a copy of 'Heart Throbs' and read to them from its pages the 'piece' I spoke in school 40 years ago.
"That was enough to set in motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was forgotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and verse that have been preserved in this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible I love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times."
Carefully Compromised:
"Father is in a perfectly lovely mood," remarked Clarice. "Don't you think you had better ask him this evening?"
"Suppose you ask him?" suggested Clarence.
"Oh, I can't," protested the girl. "I'm too shy."
"You ask him just this one time," pleaded Clarence. "I promise you that in the future I'll ask him, no matter how shy I am."—Judge.

Bad
Backache
Such agonies as some women
suffer, every month, from backache!
Is it necessary? No. It can be prevented and relieved, when caused by female trouble, by taking a medicine with specific, curative action, on the female organs and functions, which acts by relieving the congestion, stopping the pain and building the organs and functions up to a proper state of health. Try.

With *he coming of fall the bride
has again made her appearance in all
her loveliness, and there is a fresh
array of new and beautiful frocks in
the contemplation of which women
never tire, Satin sometimes veiled
|with lace is at the moment the favor-
Ite wedding robe, although the robe of
jone fashionable bride of the east was
made of a superb panne velvet
|timmed with old family point lace
land a large lace shawl veil added to
| the richness of the costume. Of course
it takes either a tall or a full figure
|to properly carry such rich materials,
and the petite or thin bride would do
|well to wear a chiffon or other filmy
gown and a tulle veil. Such frocks ean
be exquisitely embroidered and be
quite as beautiful and far more suita-
ble for the thin or short girl than vel-
vet.
No matter how simple the bridal
gown itself may be, there is a large
|field of choice in the matter of the at-
|tendants’ frocks, and a party of brides-
pastas may be gowned in different col-
ors or shades of the same color, or if
|a matron of honor or a maid of honor,
Jor both, are added to bridesmaids,
there is a still greater chance to dis-
play artistic taste and originality.
If there is (o be extreme simplicity
in the wedding gowns, then a house
| wedding or a small church would seem
the proper thing; but if a large church
wedding, with a long invitation list in-
cluded in the program, then let there
be as ngvel and beautiful garments
Jand other accessories to the pageant
as is consistent with good taste—and
a lot more is consistent than the hide-
bound lover of the commonplace is
usually willing to admit,
The French adhere strictly to the
Jeune fille idea in dressing their
brides, the simplest frocks and usually
tulle veils, but their girl brides are
quite different from ours, and so is
the whole social scheme. It behooves
the American woman to exercise her
originality in the matter of dress, if
she have it, and not only to select the
best of the English and continental
fashions, but to add touches of her
own and add originality to the scheme
or to evolve new designs,
But other apparel must be consid-
ered besides the bridal outfttings and
we must needs turn to the tailor-made
costumes. As a general statement we
would say that the skirts are shorter
and the coats are longer, although
with the long coat a short skirt does
not look well. The skirt that just
touches the ground is permissible, and
long princess coats in cloth are made
fust above the ankles. Then on the
other hand the halflength coat ts
equally popular.
Checks are popular, and are used
extensively by leading tailors in rather
somber mixtures that lend themselves.
admirably to the braiding which ts
such a marked feature of the Viennese
tailor-made.
Another delightful trimming, and
one that is gladly welcomed with the
first touch of autumn, is velvet. Vel-
yet collars are used even on riding
habits, and some of the smartest cloth
dresses are strapped with it,
‘The coming of autumn has brought
with it a revival of satin trimmed with
cloth, and very noticeable in a crowd
fs an evening gown of copper-colored
satin trimmed with gold and shaded
embroideries, with an introduction of
real lace at the deco age and long
lace sleeves.
Tam quite certain that sleeves will
change very much in evening dress,
and thelr importance cannot be over-
estimated, for upon them very often
depends the success of a frock. The
picture-sleeve is always pretty In the
picture frock for country house wear,
but the best dinner gowns show but
little sleeve. [ think one of the most
becoming sleeves is the trelliswork of
chenille, studded, perhaps, with jet,
and edged with a fringe. The shape of
the arm is very often ruined by an ill-
fitting sleeve. The manipulation of the
sleeve, therefore, should receive most
careful attention, No woman looks
well dressed unless she knows how to
put on her clothes; the best dress-
maker in the world cannot invest the
wearer with the meaning of the gown.
As to hats, I should like to point out
one or two important changes which
have taken place in the millinery
world since last season. We have
completely done away with hat brims
which are longer at the back thay the
front, and we no longer hide the back
of our necks! Cloche hats—even those
in mushroom form—are still very
fashionable, but they are no longer
exaggerated in outline and they are
worn on the head. And then we are
becoming very enthusiastic over the

cavalier hat, turned up at one side
and trimmed with handsome feathers
or with immense clusters of flowers.
Black taffeta hats bound with black
sik braid are possessed of much
charm. In this connection the braid is
always wide and rather coarse in tex-
ture; it forms an important binding
for the cloche brim and is the best
of taste with tailor-made costumes.
For afternoon wear we shall have
many of the best hats edged, or bound.
with fur, and already I have seen seat
skin used in this way—with excellent
results,
As a final word on heads and hata
let me just say that the great object
of the fashionable woman of the hour
is to have her hair and hat in com-
plete accord. It must either be that
the hair is dressed out to meet the hat
or that the hat is crushed in to meet
the hair; whichever be the method
chosen the result must be perfect har-
mony of outline. Hats are smaller than
they were last season, and—heads de-
cidedly larger!
Persian Easy to Learn.
Persian is sald to be not a very dif-
ficult language. The modern Persian
is very much like the English in its
sensible rejection of the inflections
that burden so many of the world’s
tongues. There is no difference of
termination to mark the gender, either
in nouns or adjectives, and all inant-
mate things are neuter. In other
ways the Persian conforms to the
English.

A $2,500 DRESS SUIT.
Worn by One of Our Battleships and
Consists of Flags. ‘
Few realize the number of flags car-
rled by a warship nor the cost of all
the gay bunting which flutters from
mast to mast at holiday time. In ad-
dition to fleet communication, neces-
sary during maneuvers in home water,
says Army and Navy Life, the ship
must be equipped with an extensive
array of flags on board for various
forms of ceremonial and official occa-
sions.
This dress suit outfit of bunting con-
sists of 250 different flags the matert-
al and making of which cost just
$2,500. Each ship is entitled to a new
flag equipment every three years,
though owing to their constant use
a flagship will often require a new set
of signals in about a year.
ye NpEteat, deal more, time and Isbor
1s requiired to finish certain of these
flags than is generally supposed. The
president's flag equires the longest
time of any to make, as it takes one
woman nearly a whole month to com-
plete it. The life-sized eagle with out-
‘stretched wings and other emblems
are all hand-sewed and involve the
most patient work.
The most difficult to make are the
foreign flags. This is especially true
of the South and Central American
ones.
A half dozen specially skilled hand
device sewers are continually kept on
these flags. Every battleship carries
43 foreign flags, 25 feet by 13 wide.
‘The most expensive ensign to make 1s
the German, which, owing to the deli-
cate scrollwork of the large imperial
eagle and royal crown necessitating
delicate, slow and careful sewing,
costs $56.50.
‘The dragon flag of China consists of
200 separate pieces. Twelve to 14
days are ordinarily consumed in fin-
ishing this flag, which costs $51.75.
The flag of Slam with the huge
white elephant costs $38. ihe Mexi-
can with its center design of a large
eagle holding a serpent on its bill,
costs $39.50, The cheapest foreign flag
made is the Moorish, which costs $21.
Praised Edgar Allan Poe.
When H. G. Wells, the English nov-
elist, was in Boston he praised Poe
at a dinner. “I think hardly of your
New England writers,” he said, “for
their contempt of Poe. I shall never
be able to forget that Emerson called
him ‘that Jingle man.’ To-day a thou-
sand reid Poe where one reads Em-
erson, and not to know Poe's work is
rather a disgrace. There is a little
inn at home. It is rather a poorly
conducted little inn, ‘The landlady
gets every visitor to write something
about it in a kind of autograph album
that she keeps on her drawing room
table. One visitor wrote in the al-
bum many years ago: ‘Quoth the
raven——' The landlady did not un
derstand that quotation. She was not
well up in Poe. And ever since that
time she has shown the cryptic line
to every guest, entreating him to tell
her, if he can, it's meaning. But the
guests are always too polite to tell
her. They pretend they do not know.
And hence, year after year, to every
visitor that comes, the poor landlady
with her album gives herself away.”

“Probate court is a great place for
untangling relationships and such
things,” said Judge Merle N. A. Walk-
er, “but an entirely new relationship—
new at least, as far as I am concern-
ed—was brought out here recently.
“A case on trial rested largely on
the establishment of the fact that one
of the parties in the suit—a woman—
was compelled to ‘work out’ for her
living. One of the witnesses testified
he knew she did so.
“ ‘How do you know?’ he was asked.
“ve seen her.’
“‘Are you around there often?”
“‘Well—yes—you might say so.’
“‘Kind of relation of the family,
huh?’
“‘Well—no—and yes. I'm the mail
| man.’”—Indianapolis News.
Had No Use for “Jockey Pants.”
John Sharp Williams is extremely
careless about his dress and does not
care about fine clothes on anyone else.
In a recent campaign he offered his
services to the Democratic speakers’
bureau and was sent north to help
out a congressional nominee. When
he returned to headquarters and was
plied with questions he said: “Don’t
you know that fellow came down to
meet me in a pair of fashionable rid-
ing breeches and started to go around
with me with them on. I just up and
told him that if he wanted to go to
congress he had better take off those
Jockey pants. After he left the blamed
things off we got along all right.”—
Chicago Tribune,
Sclentist's Color Sense.
Rosaline Masson tells interesting
stories in Cornhill of Herbert Spen-
cer’s color sense. Once he paid a boy
to get down on the floor and ink the
Ught spots in the carpet, as they an-
noyed him. He used to cover up the
titles of books with drab curtains, as
they annoyed him. She also adds one
never hears of women doing any of
these queer things for which men of
talent are remarkable. It is just pos-
sible that it is because they have
never done such things that few of
them have as yet arrived at greatness.

Lacking a Better Tool.
“Tommy Jones!” exclaimed the
teacher, angrily, “why did you chalk
your name on this new desk?”
“Had ter,” replied the boy. “I ain't
got no knife ter carve it on wid.”
