MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED. Interesting Story of the Career and Work of Mme. Adena C. E. Minett, Founder and Principal of an Institution Especially Designed For the Study of the Mental Sciences. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Among the great number of institutions of learning both public and private in New York, the Clio School of Mental Sciences at 487 Sixth avenue is worthy of the name it bears. It is the only school of its kind where a thorough and practical course of instruction is given in phrenology, physiognomy, psychology and kindred subjects. The institution is MIR. ADENA C. R. MINOT. equipped with ample facilities, such as busts, portraits and charts for illustrating every subject taken up by the work of the main school and because of the increasing number of persons from other cities who desire to avail themselves of the many helpful advantages which the Cloe school offers, a splendid building suitable for class work and dormitory purposes for students, visitors or permanent guests has been procured in the excellent neighborhood of West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, No. 121, known now as the Cloe school studio. Elegant rooms with or without board may be had at a nominal figure. The necessity for such a school to those who teach or are engaged in business or the professions is obvious. In the measure that the mariner's compass is necessary to the captain for the successful guidance of his ship over rough seas, in the same measure it is necessary for those engaged in other lines of work to have a knowledge of the sea and to be successful over the difficulties which they must necessarily meet in their life work. In the onward sweep of civilization man has done great inventions in the production of new inventions. He has conquered the air and made it subservant to his will. He keen mind and penetrating eye have enabled him CLIO SCHOOL STUDIO BUILDING. to peep into the heavenly bodies and tell of their mysterious makeup and, beheading the doctrine of the Greek philosophers, "Know thyself," he has discovered the art which brings him in closer touch with mankind, which also enables him to perform his mission with more ease and with greater results. Mma. Minette's Literary Achievements. The leading spirit in the work of this great institution is Mme Adena C. E. Minott, who has been practising the profession of mental science in new city and city as well as in other cities for many years. She received her grammar and high school education in this city. where she matriculated for college. While waiting the opening of the McDonnell College of Phenology and Psychology, in Washington, Miss Minott familiarized herself with the course of study which she was to pursue, so that on entering the school she had a full grasp of the subject to be taught. Being of a naturally bright mind and anxious to excel in her studies, Miss Minott, the only colored girl in the school, finished the course in less than the usual time and graduated with a degree in Psychology and M. S. in April, 1890. She afterward took a postgraduate course at the famous Fowler and Wells Institute of Phenology and Anthropology in New York and perfected herself in the five branches of mental sciences—viz. phenology, anthropology, psychology, physiognomy and physiology, which she now teaches. She is also proficient in anatomy and hygiene. Upon graduating from the Fowler and Wells institute Mme. Minott received the badge of membership and was made a fellow of the American Institute of Phenology, a distinction held by no other woman of our race in the United States. It is the verdict that she has thorough knowledge of the science and which it is essential to both men and women, as it enables each to better understand the peculiarities of the other and also to know how to help other people. It is of paramount importance to parents in the proper training of their children, and especially in assisting them in the right choice of a trade or profession. Students Have Double Advantages. Mme. Minott is principal of the Cloi School of Mental Sciences and takes an active part in every department of the work as well as directs the rules and regulations of the Cloi studio home in West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, which is closely affiliated with the American Institute of Phenology. Thus students of the Cloi school receive every reasonable consideration from the college while pursuing their studies. Private, class and correspondence courses are given in all the branches of the science by Mme. Minott personally. The courses are graded according to the three types of temperaments recognized in modern philosophy, which insures the uniform success of each scholar. The school does not draw the color line. Both white and colored persons are admitted on the same terms. Many of the graduates and students who become taking the course of study were scarcely making expenses are now holding good paying positions, and many are engaged in business for themselves. The cut shows some of the honor graduates of the class of 1910, with Mme. Minott in the center. In establishing the Cloi school studio home Mme. Minott says it is the alm HONOR GRADUATES OF CLASS FOR TERM FROM OCTOBER, 1910, TO FEBUARY, 1911.

Memorandum to the President, R. Moore, Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, Mr. H. M. Wolfe, Mrs. Addle W. H. Winton, Drs. W. H. Brooks and H. C. Bishop and Mme. Adeena C. E. Minott GREEN EYED PREJUDICE. Editor Served With Meal, but Denied Glass of Water. A prominent Afro-American editor in New York city, who resides in Brooklyn, was recently refused a glass of water in connection with his dinner in the restaurant at Fulton and Bridge streets, Brooklyn. After requesting a glass of water several times and not receiving it he called the waiter again and asked for a certain dessert and a glass of water. The waiter brought the dessert, but still refused to bring the much asked for beverage. The editor refused to pay for the dessert as charged in the bill, as he did not eat it because, as he claims, his order was not filled. The waiter endeavored to impress the dinner with his authority, but was beaten at his own game, as he was told that he could get his pay for the dessert personally by taking the matter to the courts. At this juncture the editor paid for what he had eaten and left the dessert untouched upon the table and walked out of the establishment. This is green eyed prejudice of the deepest dye. Awarded Prizes For French Essay. James Borterm Clarke, a junior in the College of Arts at Cornell university, has been awarded the prix d'honneur for a French essay on a literary topic and a translation from a French author.

Mrs. Broyles made his regular visit last week to our city on his regular solicitor tour for some school in the south land. This must be a fruitful field as he comes so often. It would seem to the writer that these solicitors would seek larger fields for their work and not bother in internal places when they are hard to arrange for existence, which needs all they carry away and more too. A hint to the wise is sufficient. The Bon Ami Whist club will give a banquet next Friday evening in the Workman hall and a grand good time is expected by him who will take part.

The Oklahoma woman who has 13 scures, all under 5 years of age, is not suffering from the lack of something to do.

When the spirit is so young there are no limits to activity which age can impose. A woman in Pennsylvania buried the wrong man in mistake for her husband, but, when the latter turned up alive and well, stuck to the dead man. She wisely declined to have a live issue made of her mistake. A New Jersey magistrate has a rabbit's foot on whose powers he sets great store.

Tableau "GREAT LAFAYETTE," VICTIM OF EDINBURGH MUSIC HALL DISASTER A HERO. A HERO. BODIES FOUND IN RUINS Corpases of Alice Dale and Joe Coster Among Those Recovered—Three Are Unidentified—Actor Perihes In Flames Trying to Save Pets. Edinburgh, Scotland—Search of the ruins of the burned Empire Music hall developed the bodies of eight persons who lost their lives in the confagration. Among the dead are "Lafayette the Great," who escaped the flames at the outset, but re-entered the burning building to rescue his horse and dog. Two members of his company, Miss Alice Dale, who impersonated the Todd Bean mugged and Joe Coster, were found. The other bodies are those of members of Lafayette's orchestra. Miss Dale and Coster were natives of England. The fire started in a mass of scenery used in the conclusion of Lafayette's performance, which was a spectacular military pageant in which he represented Lord Roberts and other celebrities on horseback. In a moment the stage was filled with flames. The iron fire curtain was hastily lowered and the lion belonging to Lafayette got loose during the panic and blocked the stage door.

COURT SAYS LORIMER INQUIRY BY LEGISLATURE VOID. Orders Release of Tilden—Habeas Corpus Writes issued in Contempt Proceedings Are Sustained. Chicago—Declaring the entire inquiry being conducted by the Helm committee into the election of Senator Lorimer to be without warrant of law, Judge A. J. Petit sustained the writs of habeas corpus issued to prevent Edward Tilden, William C. Cummings and George M. Benedict from being taken before the bar of the state senate at Springfield to answer contempt proceedings. He ordered the immediate release of the relators and assessed the costs of the hearing against the senate, the county contender of the attorneys for the senate being denied. One concession was made, however—the right of appeal made possible by the entry of judgment for costs against the respondents. If the case is reviewed by some appellate tribunal, it will be appealed in the name of E. H. Hatfield, assistant sergeant-at-arms of the senate, who served the warrants on the packer and his associates more than a week ago. Take immediate advantage of this event.

It is conceded by those most closely connected with the investigation of the Lorimer scandal that this decision, of Judge Petit practically means the end of the Helm committee's activities, although another meeting of the committee will be held in Springfield. Whether the investigation will proceed depends largely upon the nature of the testimony brought out by the witnesses who have been subpoenaed to answer before the committee.

Julius Hopkins Is Sent to Jail Charged With a Shortage of $115,000. Cleveland, O. M. May 9—Julius W. Hopkins, paying teller of the First National Bank, who was arrested, is said to have confessed to peculations amounting to $115,000 during the last eight years. A warrant issued by United States District Attorney Day specifically charged him with the theft of $0,000,000. According to the bank officials Hopkins confessed to them three days ago. Hopkins, according to this alleged confession, had been taking small amounts for eight years and by juggling his entry accounts he succeeded in evading disclosure. He was in charge of the officers and, by juggling the officers, his accounts would show a certain amount of money in transit, whereas the actual amount was below his figures. He handled a million dollars almost constantly. Most of the embezzled money, bank officials say, was invested in a manufacturing concern of which Hopkins was the head. When arraigned before United States Commissioner Walthar, Hopkins waved a preliminary hearing and was bound over to await action of the grand jury. Bond was fixed at $50,000. Hopkins was unable to give ball and was taken to jail. It is asserted that he claimed to have lost the money in unsuccessful business Charles E. Farnsworth, cashier of the First National bank, made the following statement: "One of our trusted employees, Julius W. Hopkins, is a defaulter in the sum of $114,850, which amount he has abstracted from express packages containing currency sent us by the national banking department at Washington. The bank is fully protected by a blanket warranty policy, issued by London Lloyds, so that the loss will not fall upon the bank."

NAVARRO A PRISONER MEXICAN GENERAL SURRENDER JUAREZ TO REBELS AFTER WAR'S BLOODIEST BATTLE. MAIN STREET IS IN RUINS Bombs and Shells Demolish House But Rebels Prevent Looting—Dead Number About 80, Wounded 150— Insurrectos Capture 480 Prisoners. El Paso, Tex.—Following a most desperate battle which began on the afternoon of May 8 in which the town was swept by shells, shot and dynamic bombs, General Navarro, com- mander of the federal troops, sur- rendered Juarez, Mexico, to Francisco I. Madero, a professional president. Navarro is a prisoner of war. Col. Manuel Tamboulet, jefe darna of Juarez, was killed while fighting at the jail. Navarro had taken his last stand in the barracks, whither he fled after the rebels entered the city. The rebels have taken 480 prisoners in Juarez. General Orozo is in command at Juarez. Forty dead federalers were found in the barracks when the rebels entered. The rebels shout "Viva Orozo" instead of "Viva Madero." The main street of Juarez is in ruins. Many of the houses were riddled with bullets. Plaster, brick and plies of debris are scattered everywhere. Windows in many of the stores were crashed in, but the rebels guard the entrance to them to prevent looting. Some of the houses have been demolished by the dynamite bombs and shells. The victory was not secured without a terrible loss of life on the American side of the line as well as the field of battle. The dead may number nearly eighty, while 150 have been wounded, many of them fatally. The casualties on the American side of the line number four killed and sixteen wounded. Scores of physicians, their Red Cross insignia glaring in the sunlight, are treating the federal and rebel wounded alike. Dynamite bombs, shells, bullets and a confession that ranged for hours transformed Juarez from its usually tranquil and sleepy appearance into a mass of ruins. Numerous adobe houses characteristic of Mexican towns have been razed. A scooter with the white flag was hoisted on the barracks and the surrender of the federals was complete Mexican flags were unfuried on the houses and church bells were rung in celebration. During the fighting before Navarro fied the federals made desperate stands behind their barricades. The rebels pushed the fighting. The federals found refuge in a church and at the custom house, but were driven from both buildings. Other federals took refuge in adobe houses out of town. The obeisys threw dynamite bombs both sides used machine guns. They was desperate street fighting, hand-to-hand. Wounded men were brought into El Paso. Refugees poured across the bridge that separates Juarez from the American city. The rebels swarmed into the streets. The residents of the town, apparently satisfied that the fighting was over, came out of their shelters and the shouts of exultation and victory could be heard on the American side. The sun burned fiercely and the revolutionists, who had been fighting for hours without food or water, were relieved by the residents of the town of the federal hospital, admitted that he had treated more than 100 federal wounded, 20 of whom may die. Around the custom house, the church and the jail, between thirty-five and forty federales, he said, were dead in the streets. Liberated prisoners arriving here declared all the guards about the jail had been killed. Doctor Wilson, insurgent field surgeon, declared the total wounded of both sides would number over 100. He added that among the dead are three Americans of the insurgent army, two Americans of the war river into El Paso, but no Americans were killed or wounded in the later fighting. It was 8:20 a. m. when Madero men began the combined attack for a deadly and decisive battle. Ruins of whole blocks of houses, burned in the fire of the night, were smoldering. The insurgents opened the battle by shooting off dynamite bombs in the town. General Garibaldi 'ud his command of 200 rebels were reported to be stationed at the Porfirio Díaz hotel, opposite the custom house, where federales were hiding. The rebels had surrounded the outskirts of the town with all the reserves they had and a gradual advance the main thoroughfare toward the federal stronghold was begun.

MISS SELINA LUE and the Soap-box Babies by MARIE THOMPSON DAVIESS Illustrations by Magnus G. Kettner COPYRIGHT 1905, THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY Miss Sellina Lau, spinter grocery-store-keeper of Rivers Lake and guardian angel of the neighborhood, prompts day nursery for the babies of the neighborhood. Babies are kept in soap boxes and are known as the "Soap-Box Babies." Her somewhat of an object of sympathy to the mothers, although possesses the maternal instinct than not of them. CHAPTER I-Continued. At her door she was welcomed with enthusiasm. Miss Cynthia Page stood on the top step, in her arms a baby who was uttering a protest against the world in general, and Miss Cynthia in particular, in such a staccato volume of voice that his size could but be a surprise to the beholder. On the floor his exact counterpart, except in the matter of hair—that of counterpart being of the tone known in some walks of life as red gold but called on the Bluff "carnyot"—sat with solemn eyes chewing a string and clutching determined at the hem of Miss Cynthia's white shirt behind him a pink-clad little bunch had succeeded in squirming between the pickle barrel and a large bushel basket of snap-beans, and only the hind quarters and ten pink toes of the explorer evidenced her whereabouts. From a certain cystatic wave of one leg it might be suspected that a find had been made and was in secretly and rapidly consumed. In the floor of the floor another infant lay prone, with legs and arms waving frantically, resembling nothing more than an overtured beetle helpless in its appeal to be righted before the world. And from behind the counter on the left there issued a voice, a voice that rooted and would accustom the Flairy in Cynthia's arms that could not but impress the hearer. It was no fretful cry for attention and amusement, but was the howl of a soul in torment, hungry, hot, frightened, with a pain all over and in spots. "Dearie me!" exclaimed Miss Selina Lue. "You all seem to be upset!" And as she spoke she took the waller from Miss Cynthia and reaching for Carrots on the floor, tucked him under the same arm with his brother, the dreaded boy by one foot the explorer and revealed the treasure, found to be a snap-ban, now partly consumed. The beestie shared the hollow of her arm with the explorer, but the voice from behind the counter walked on unpacified. "Miss Cynthia, honey, please pick up Clemble from behind there and bring her on back here to the boxes." The voice of stalks in a training stable. "What ever did you let them out for? I am afraid you was pestered to death with 'em." "Oh, Miss Selina Lue, they all: wegan to cry at and I didn't know what to do," apologized Miss Cynthia as she struggled to the back of the store with the voice in her arms still screaming. "And through the Miss Selina Lue had brought it down a note or two. "Oh that's all right; crying's good for 'em, the darlings," said Miss Selina Lue as she deposited the wrigling load on the floor. There was a large south window at the back of the grocery, and a morning-glory vine peeped in on one side and clutched with little tendril fingers at a group of bacon that hung on the wall. A large yellow cat stretched on the sill in the sun, which poured in over him to the floor. Ranged back from the sill in the cool breeze, and five empty box, coy depopulated and clean, with calico stuffed down each back. Miss Selina Lue shook out each cushion and deposited thrones a baby, picked from the group on the floor. Carrots came last and was enthroned with care on a "chinny-blue" cushion. "Ain't he too sweet on that blue kiver?" said Miss Selina Lue as she smoothed the fanning kinks. A tender hand ran over each bobbing head and peace reigned in the River Bluff grocery, whose back regions were given over to a hospitable day nursery conducted on entirely original and also utterly unremunerative lines by its owner. With Miss Selina Lue to love was to minister, and she never dreamed that she was testing a widely discussed and little practiced philanthropic measure. "Miss Selina Lue, you are a wonder! How do you ever manage with them all the time?" ventured Cynthia as she stood by, disheveled and panting. Her cheeks were shellpink and warm, little gold clung to her damp forehead. Her violet eyes were wide with admiration at Miss Selina Lue's generalship, but were given a desperate cast by a huge smudge on the side of her nose which had by accident tried conclusions with that of the vocally strong Clementine. Her hat had been pulled to a raikh angle and the starch was out of her linen blouse. She had the look of one who has fought losing fight. "Now, Miss Cynthia, honey, they was jest hungry. They's as good as gold most times, but babies is like human, they can't always be counted on to do the best they know. It's time they was fed, and I better be about it. Want to stay and see 'em feed!" Miss Cynthia has a number of times in her life heard invitations issued from various tuted saudust rings of which she was instantly reminded by Miss Selina Lue, and it was with something of the same feeling of trepation that she accepted. "Now," said Miss Selina Lue as she spoke to her, "I cleared the decks by drawing the boxes into a close semicircle around a three-legged mithing stool, 'you can see how good I’ve got trained, the darlings." M. At Her Door She Was Welcomed With Enthusiasm. I cook up this bowl of oatmeal outen that an spills outen the packages what bust, and I pour on a good dose of Charity's new milk, which is that of real human kindness, if she is just a spotted cow." As she talked she seated herself on the stool and dipped out a spoonful of the sticky porridge dripping with milk. Instantly five small, rink, toothless or partly toothless mouths popped open and five bobbing heads became rigid and five roly-poly necks craved. The moment of suspense was keen. Presto! the spoon descended into the mouth of Blossom, the explorer. Her ecstatic gurgle had four anticipatory echoes. Again the pink caverns were filled with again the poised spoon descended, this time the rest lip of Clementine, who swallowed her portion with the remnant of her last sob. The echoes gurgled again and presented open mouths at attention instantly. "Seems like," said Miss Sellina Lue, "they all swallows one another's dinner and gits jess that much more pleasure outen it all. If grown-ups would jeach one another's good luck, they could gits heap of food for them. I don't all they good, and jeach as patient -waiting their own turn?" "Indeed they are just a cunning nest of baby birds, Miss Sellina Lue, and you are the mother bird with the worms, the nicest sort of worms. You—you—Miss Cynthia hesitated to take a bite to the worms. If Miss Sellina Lue had heard voiced before,—if you were being mother bird to your own you couldn't—" "Miss Cynthie, honey." said Miss Se- At Her Door She Was We lina Lue as she scraped the last drop of milk into the spoon and skillfully administered it to the nodding head of Flarity, the brother of Carrots, "I think the good Lord intended that a mother should come into this house with every child he sees, then it does; and sometimes—sometimes the mother is borned and the child isn't there. The mother job is one that can't cut out to suit everybody and it fits have got a duty laid on 'em strong, even if it is jest being a kinder soul-mother. Let clemite fall and cut her head on the edge of her box. She is nodding so and I have to stand down in parties, who are plumb gone, chanky, child, they are all safe now, and I can gt to work. Seems like my heart is at rest when I've got 'em asleep in the soap boxes. I sometimes wonder if the Lord don't feel the same way about us grown-ups when he sends the night down to kiver us up in our beds. But then when he's got all safe asleep he begins the devil's China, and he reckon the Bible is true when it says he neither slumbers nor sleeps." "Vanity in a man is like a turkeygobbling a strutter in November." —Miss Selina Lue. "Miss Cynthie, honey, it's a good thing you come down to see me this morning first thing. When you are in town on one of them days andambebins with Mia Meloy, sweet as she is, I calm as I might. Seems like so to speak, I am afraid you will turn over your soap box or bump your head or swallow a fly or something, if you are outen my sight." "You mean you are sure I will have the strength of mind to refrain from taking in theamel, but are uneasy about my seeing the gnat in Miss Selina Lue?" —Miss Cynthie as she stood before the grocery store when Miss Selina Lue sat, bushy engaged in sorting over a basket of June apples. "Child, I can't always help but have more respect for a great big, sinful camel than a mean, a little, busybody gnat that speaks in your mouth and does you a injury before you know be's there. And of the two I choose the camel to swallow. If swallow I must be careful. If I swallow I think about to watch out for either one, and I reckon them as keeps good and busy is protected from wrong-doings, big or little. Set down, honey-bunch, and tell me what you've been a-doing. "How are the babies, and is Ethel Mack bunch well again?" and Miss Cynthia as she seated herself in the door for a chat. "The babies are blooming fine, except Clemille et something that was strange to her and was sick day before yesterday. I hope it wasn't a cookroach, but I have my suspicions from seeing two legs of one on the floor by her. Ethel Maud's thumb is well, but we like her had a time with her hands. She was a bit scruffy up and wouldn't come down no matter how she snorted. But I put a clothespin up above it to keep it from going further up and coaxed it down with a hairpin and a buttonhook. It swelled some but she's all right today." Miss Cynthia laughed merrily at the idea of Ethel Maud's nose, which was a tiny, turned-up dot, supporting a clothespin and a pea at the same time, and Miss Selina Lue's chuckle showed that she appreciated the humor of the picture. When Miss Cynthia laughed more, she was seeing or hearing distance, and Miss Selina Lue's mirth was ever responsive to the slightest call. "Miss Cynthie, honey," she said after a few minutes, "I've got a new soap box baby and I was mighty anxious for awhile as to how it would be, but now. Oh, Miss Solina Lue, with all you have to do—another? Where is it in a box with the others? I am going back to see it," and Miss Cynthia sprang up with alacrity. "Oh, no! He stays in the barn with Charity and he won't be home till noon, so set down and let me tell you about it, for I mistrust myself in doing it, though the pictures are beautiful. I want to be willing to do something for art's sake, which it looks like is jesst his love of this elcomed With Enthusiasm. beautiful world put right down for others to see. And then, it's true they ain't another barn about here that's as good as mine to paint in. Anyway, ain't he a stranger within my gates?" "Miss Lina Lue, what are you talking about? At first it sounded like a bad boy." "You't think it was both by the way it drinks milk, and the helplessness of it, but it's a man." "A man?" "Yes, a man! And I ain't sure I had ougher done it, fer a strange man might be a mistake fer a single woman like me to have about the house. But he was that persuading and nice, and I couldn't see no good reason not to take him; so what could I do?" "Miss Gelina Lue," said Miss Cayla, and I couldn't show in her big eyes, "you don't mean--you can't mean that you have got married while I——" "Child," said Miss Selina Lue, "don't never ask me that question again! When they buried all of Adonam Millsaps they could find to bring home from the explosion, the marrying part of me went into the grave and I never saw it, but I ever dig it up again. Though there is many a good woman as have done that very thing after having been married to they husband for years before they lost him. But I ain't one to criticize 'em for it, 'cause some seem to think it compliments one good husband to git another—and maybe it May Teach Monkeys to Talk. The monkey is not only more intelligent than the parrot, but is even more intuitive. It is (excepting man) the only creature on earth that is capable of articulate speech. Prof. Bell believes that apes can be taught at all events, to say a few words at first by the manipulation of their mind by threats, as is done with our deadborn. We may live, he thinks, to hear chimpanzees talk, and with some degree of understanding of their own remarks. Stage thunder brings no showers of spiritual blessing. THE NEW YORK TIMES AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF CHARLES BANKS, THE LEADING FIGURE IN THE LIFE OF MOUND BAYOU, MISS. In the American Magazine, Booker F. Washington, in the section devoted to "Interesting People," describes Mr. Charles Banks, the leading figure in the life of Mound Bayou, Mississippi Mr. Washington says: "Down in the rich land of the Mississippi, along and between Memphis and Vicksburg, is a little town owned and controlled solely by negroes. Even to the aspiring black man himself there is something shockingly reverse to receive mail from the hands of a black postmaster, to purchase tickets from a black ticke et agent, and to have laws made and enforced. There is a black council, and a black marshes Mound Bayou, Mississippi, the town to which I refer, was established some twenty-five years ago by an ex-slave, and since the landing of the negro, pioneers the pulse of the village has beaten steadily with progress and gain. As you alight from the train you see nothing about you but black faces, there being exceedingly few who are even fair enough to "pass for white." Should you have reason to make any inquiries, whatsoever, and especially touching any business or town politics, you will invariably be answered, "See Banks." And to see Banks you have merely to look around you. A tall, big-bodied man of pure African blood, with a small round head and quick, snapping eyes, in general build the very pattern of Jack Johnson, will be seen directing the loading of cotton, bushland disputes, a hurrying arm to the big cotton gin or the oil mill, a $100,000 plant, now nearing completion under his direction—always busy, always ubiquitous, always brief, settling disputes as it were by a single stroke. As you meet Banks and talk with him, I think you are struck chiefly with the air of readiness about the man. Sparing, even stingy, with words, he nevertheless seems to know every moment just what is to be done in any given crisis. His easy, informal manner of wearing his clothes seems to suggest at a glance a readiness to settle a fray or matters of more deliberative consequence; and as I review him now, after several years of work with him in all parts of the country and under many different circumstances, I cannot recall that he ever in any way seemed at a loss or in the slightest degree puzzled as to what to do in a crisis. As I have already indicated, Banks is the moving spirit of Mound Bayou. It was the task of Isahal T. Montgomery, the ex-slave of Jeff Davis's brother, to blaze the way in the forests and begin this prosperous settlement, but it has been left for Charles Banks to clear the village of debt, to extend the boundaries of the town to the city, and to help the whole community a genuine business character. He seems to be one of the few negro college graduates to apply himself to business in its larger sense. A banker, a cotton broker, a dealer in real estate, and a farmer, he seems to have mastered thoroughly the financier's secret that money increases itself and makes for service by frequent turning over. The printing press of the town, the schools, the bottling factory, the score of various business houses, the cotton Efficiency Recognized "Have you a good chauffeur?" "Excellent. He can always give me in interesting and satisfactory explanation as to why my car can't go where I want it to." Getting the Worst of it. "Bilgins isn't very lucky in driving surgicals." He says he can't even change its own mind without getting the worst of the deal." gin, the sawmill, the churches, the oil mill, all radiate from the little brick banking house of Charles Banks, and whenever there is trouble in any of the business enterprises hereabouts you will hear once more the laconic order, "See Banks." In point of wealth among negroes, Mississippi far outstrips any other state in the country. Every city worth the name boasts of its negro bankers and business companies among negroes. Clarkdale, Columbus, Meridian, Greenville, Yazoo City, Jackson, Vicksburg, and a half score of others will point to a flourishing bank and many substantial dry dry goods and grocery mechants. And yet, apply to an aggregation of these men at any time for a leader, and a burst like that of a political nomination will rend the air with "Banks! Banks!" To many it is difficult to form, for, among some leaders at least, a man of fewer words never lived. I never saw a member of my race who so consciously shunned the attempt at oratory and confined himself to a few short, simple words and sentences. Whether presiding over thousands of colored people at our National Negro Business league, or over hundreds at his own state league, he insists upon the barest informal statement of the purpose of the gathering, and nothing more. If he would be with me, he would be the glitter of the president's office, the opening address, the laured introductories and the like. Maybe it is this striking novelty that has gained him the unanimous confidence of the negroes of his state and of a large portion of the negroes throughout the country. He has for several years in succession been elected first vice-president of the National Negro Congress, and angante that comprises practically all the negro business men of the country. In like manner, he has for a number of years been president of his state league, and last year he was, almost as it were by state acclamation, elected secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Fraternity of Mississippi, an order that at its last year report had paid out $195,000, and contained a balance of cash. The negroes best negro orders of the kind in the state. In money, influence and reliability. The peculiar conditions in the south rent it urgent that whoever aspires to prominence in any direction must reckon with the good will of both he cannot be wholly black unto himself or wholly black unto himself. This is emphatically true where the question of money is involved. A negro who would be a banker cannot be a very large one who would name rubbing elbows with white men in the city. In this respect, it is highly to Charles Bank's credit that he very early established correspondence wherever he needed it, and the Bank of Mound Bayou now enjoys correspondence with banks in Memphis, in Louisville and in Vicksburg, with the National Reserve bank of the city of New York and with the National Bank of Commerce in St. Louis. Regarding the bank in St. Louis a singular enclosure from one of its officers, a few days before Snowden, lies before me. Mr. Snowden writes me: "It has been our pleasure to lend them" (referring races. Paradoxical as it may seem, to another negro bank in the same connection) "$30,000 each year, and their business has been handled to our entire satisfaction." When it is considered that Mr. Snowden is a southern living right here men it can be seen that Charles Bank contributes toward the softening down of prejudice and the establishing of genuine confidence between the races. "I once proposed to a girl in a conservatory." "With what result?" "A lot of expensive plants were nipped by frost." "So he's a soldier. Is he a regular?" "No; he belongs to the malicious group." WHERE JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER HIDES BULK OF HIS IMMENSE TREASURE WHERE JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER HIDES BULK OF HIS IMMENSE TREASURE New York.—The long and closely guarded secret as to where John D. Rockefeller preserves his stacks of stocks and bonds has been disclosed at last. The bulk of his immense treasure of collateral, estimated at $200,000,000, is in a specially constructed bomb, burglar and fire proof vault built under the northeast corner of the city. Produces a change. Entrance to it is gained from Beaver street, a stone's throw from the Standard Oil headquarters, at 26 Broadway. Between the street opposite and the respositories of the Rockefeller fortune are ten locks varied in character. Once in front of the iron vault, the largest of its kind in the world devoted to collecting the properties of a single person, there is on view a large door all unmade that in which Captain Dreytus was confined at Devil's island. Two of the locks are padlocks, one upon each of the two combination locks visible from the exterior from the closed door of the vault. These two padlocks are usually opened with a key in the hands of President William H. Person of the safe deposit company, which turning, releases the dial of each of the common locks, and permits the latter to be set by two men from Mr. Rockefeller's private office. One of the two is Mr. Rockefeller's financial secretary, while the other is a man he trusts equally as well. Each has a different combination to the lock. There are six tumblers on each lock. The numbers run from 1 to 10, which makes each lock susceptible to one or many changes. The only way to change the numbers of the tumblers is the old numbers. As for the men who open the upper and the lower combination lock, neither of the two can set his part of the bolts of the iron door until the padlocks have been released by the third. It is impossible for anybody to pick these combination locks. The door of the vault is moved by hand and it opens easily, owing to its swinging upon a compound double goose crane hinge, which is carefully balanced on ball bearings. It is hardened to tool steel. This permits the door to swing lightly, although it has the weight of nine tons. The interior of the vault is nine feet wide, nine feet high and fifteen feet deep. The wall of the vault has a thickness of forty inches. In the center of 36 inches of concrete are 80-pound steel rails, set six inches apart in double rows, interlocked so as to be practically three inches apart. The remaining four inches of the wall are four inches thickness of solid steel. Looking towards the interior of the vault there are arranged upon either side numerous compartments of small safes. There are from fifteen to twenty of these varying in sizes. Two combination locks guard each. Having swung back the steel door of one of the inner steel boxes, are revealed small steel boxes of a thickness one sixteenth of an inch. There are four of these, as a rule, in each chest. They are equipped with a hinge and lid and key box. The last turn of the key opens one of the sheet steel boxes. In one of these inner side compartments is a card index which registers the bonds with their dates of maturity and the months when the coupons come off. THE FIRST THIMBLE. The thimble is a Dutch invention and was first brought to England by one John Lofting, who began its manufacture at tellington. In 1695 its name was derived from the words "thumb" and "bell." Originally it was called "thumbell," then "thumble" and finally "thimble." It is recorded that thimbles were first worn on the thumb, but we can scarcely conceive how they could be of much service so used. Formerly thimbles were made of brass and iron only, but now they are shown in gold, silver, steel, horn, ivory and even glass. There is a thimble owned by the queen of Siam that shaped like a lotus flower in the shape of a flower, thickly studded with discoloration, is held to be the most costly article of the kind in the world. In Naples very pretty thimbles, composed of lava from Mount Vesuvius, are occasionally sold, but rather as curiosities than as articles of real utility, being, by reason of the extreme brittleness of the lava, very easily broken. LOBSTER NEWBURG Cut the meat of a two-pound lobster into one-inch cubes and put them on the stove in a small, shallow steakpan. Add to it a gill of dry sherry, a quarter of a level teaspoonful of salt, as much red pepper as may be taken up on the point of a penkake, and a few grains of grated nutmeg. Slimm the meat and add two eggs very well beaten with a cupful of cream. Stir continuously until the sauce coats the spoon. Remove from the stove immediately, pour it into a small tureen, made hot for the purpose, and send to the table.

THE ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on hair places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was point- ble but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the same PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mme A. M. POPE.

Charles G. Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lead a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to thank in speculation with you to little surplus, or something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life first, to give always in propofo as your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through them or fraud who you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your land where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of these 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS FOR USE ON COPYRIGHTS &c. Awesome sending a skate and description may quickly ascertain patentability.

No Mora Gold Lace for Afghans. The ameer has published an edict which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are only addicted to the gold lace which has decided to chew. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and wisely the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less coaty, his majesty's orders will doubt less be received by his subjects with either mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal of Charity. Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and hearing of the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the violinist or the play wright must have his. A Chance for a Bargain. An Irishman who had begun to prince photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeking one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be.
