The large colored vote of Silver Bow county and the state at large recognizing the fact as almost an axiom that they locally are indebted to no special party for any past services or obligated to no one for any past intense fidelity to their interests, will support in this campaign regardless of party affiliation those who will best protect their interests. Every cotterier of politicians, every segregated race whose influence is thrown to the victorious party are looked after when the smoke of battle has cleared away, when the cavalry has finished its charge at the polls, except the negro voter. Even the menial positions are denied him and in the distribution of patronage not one thought has been given him, and why? In the political arena he has been the exemplification of the axiom, "divided we fall," his vote has been nugatory as far as their political effect has been evinced. Today it is a source of much gratification to the New Age to be the means and the organ of perfecting a political organization and in cemeting the colored vote. It is only as a solid organization in each county where our members will justify, and by throwing our support in solid philanx that we can be a tower of strength in the strenuous political battel which is coming. The recent meeting of the democratic state central committee at Helena is a vivid illustration of the logic of our position in organizing the colored vote of the state. A great technical point in the great fight was only decided by the close margin of a middle vote. In the ensuing con- London, England THE NEW AGE.

Get aroused to the opportunity. Send in your name to the New Age and join the great organization. The negro must stand by his friends and be watchful of his interests. Their friends in this campaign should receive his united support—there are interests which are identical with his interests as a citizen of the state, which should receive his support. OUR DOPE BOOK. It is rumored that the game warden was hurriedly seen leaving Helena the first of the week. On inquiry into the excited state of his feeling elected the reply that he had an injunction against Bob Lawrence's hunting party—as it it was exterminating totally all the game of the mountains. That idiotic police editor of the Inter Mountain had more matter for the exploding of his remarkable jorgon this week—the cause was the new amateur record made of throwing the discus and the new strangle hold discorted in Greco Roman wrestling matches. Meanwhile Butte society has a great scandal—it's the topic of the hour. It is greatly to be deplored. Meanwhile we await the time when the next winning or throwing record will be broken. ```markdown ``` SOCIETY EVENTS. Among the elaborate social dinners of the season was one given by Mr. and Mrs. Walton last Sunday, in honor of Bishop Shaffer, which takes leading rank. The table was profusely decorated with sweet peas and smilax intermingled, with the fine silverware which adorned the table and the cut glass which held the delicacies of a banquet table. The menu was elaborate and served in that faultless style which characterizes all of the private and public functions undertaken by Butte's leading cateress. The guests were a unit in praise of the hospitality of their popular hosts. The guests were Bishop C. T. Shaffer, Mrs. Ferguson, of Helena; Mrs. Davis, Mrs. C. P. Smith, Rev. and Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Susie Austin, Miss Katie Shackelford. Mr. and Mrs. James Wilds gave a small dinner in honor of Mr. Bruce Johnson of Salt Lake, candidate for the Utah legislature. Mr. Chris Dorsey; of the New Age, was present. Mr. Bruce Johnson is one of Utah's leading citizens and he has the best wishes of the New Age for success both in his candidacy for the nomination and election to the legislature. Mrs. Frisbee gave a delightful luncheon in honor of Bishop Shaffer. Those present were Bishop Shaffer Mr. and Mrs. Willis, Mrs. Faulkerson, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. C. P. Smith, Rev. and Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Suale Austin, Miss Katie Shackelford, Mr. and Mrs. Walton. NATIONAL NEGRO FEDERATION Indianapolis, Ind., August. 23. Articles of incorporation are to be filed Monday foro the National federation of negroes. The organization has its inception in Indiana under the auspices of the directorate of prominent Indiana legislators. The organization declares that it is for the purpose of protecting the negro race from mob violence throughout the country, for prosecuting negro lynchers, for securing equal rights with white suffragists, and for advancing the cause of the negro race generally. The directors are John H. Stolsenburg, T. H. Tipton, S. C. Manuel, B. F. Porter, W. A. Burney and W. H. Steward. NINTH CAVALRY WILL RETURN TO THE U. S. Washington. Aug. 29.—General Chaffee has cabled to the war department that he and his successor, General Davis, are of the opinion that another regiment of cavalry can now be spared from duty in the Philippine islands. The necessary orders have been forwarded to him to send home on regiment, and the headquarters and six troops of the Ninth cavalry will be removed from duty and will sail on the Logan for San Francisco, September 16, the remained of the regiment to sail on October1. The station for these troops in the United States has not been designated. A NEW CLUB. Helena's Leading Young Men Organize the Manhattan Club—A Social, Non-Partisan Club. The leading young men and citizens of Helena with the officers of the 24th regiment have organized a social club for social enjoyment, incorporated the same under the laws of Montana governing such organizations. The incorpored name is The Manhattan Club, conveniently situated on the Main street, with commodous quarters, beautifully decorated, with its pool tables, ping pong room, reception room and its handsome bar. The organization is a credit to the enterprise and energy of the young men of Helena. Without a doubt it stands as the peer of any social club in the west, because it is a club conducted along absolutely club lines, with all the facilities for social enjoyment. Wednesday night is ladies night. The officers are: Harry Simmons, president; J. E. Moseley, secretary; David Gordon, treasurer.

Austin, Texas. Sept. 3.—The committee appointed by the last legislature to investigate the state penitentiary and other institutions, filed a report today that has caused a sensation in political circles. According to the report the state's prison should bear the legend. "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." Few men incarcerated therein get out alive and if the official report may be relied on, and this affects the short term as well as the long term men, for those who are not shot down on little or no provocation are worked to death. Those that do not succumb to bullets within the walls or overwork leave the penitentiary in so weakened a condition that they become the early prey to death. "The convicts are shot down like dogs," according to the official language of the report, "and are worked until they drop dead in their tracks," under a system for which the people of Texas must some day be held responsible. Flesh and blood are held so cheaply in the institution, according to the committee, that the average length of life among the prisoners is only seven years. The system in vogue by which the convicts are leased out is denominated a disgrace to the state. Invalid convicts are forced to work with the healthy and strong, and the state law on whipping is disregarded by the wardens and guards, the committee alleges. The committee recommends that the contract system and share farms be abolished. Short-term men should be kept in the counties in which they are convicted, and provision should be made for the parole of men with good records. Old Negroes Honored. The colored citizens of the western sections of St. Clair and Madison counties held a grand celebration yesterday at Brooklyn in honor of their old people. The religious part of the demonstration was held at the Baptist church, of which Rev. Tiffts is pastor. Early in the morning the older people, accompanied by a number of the younger element( arrived from all parts of the counties and congregated on the street in front of the church. A parade was formed by Anthony Speed, the marshal of the city, assisted by B. F. Washington, C. B. Jones and John Evans. The visitors marched over the town and then to the church, where Rev. Tiffts delivered a sermon. After the sermon the people repaired to the park, where all indulged in a barbecue. The children rendered a fine program of music and drill and many of the leading societies of the place sang selections. Negro University Election. Guthrie, Okla., August 30.—The board of regents of the colored agricultural and normal university at Lanson, Okla., met today and re-elected Inman E. Page as the president and to the chair of psychology and moral philosophy, and chose the following faculty: English language and literature, Moses Johnson; mathematics, Wayne Manzilla; mechanical arts, William Jackson; natural science, A. B. Whitby; agriculture, Boyd Staley; instrumental music, Zella Page; domestic economy, Mary McCrary; vocal music, Russell Taylor; matron, Mary William. President Page is a graduate of the Tuskegee, (Ala.) Institute. Separate School Issue in Oklahoma Guthrie, Alka., August 23.-Attorney General Roberts today rendered an opinion holding that every taxpayer in a county wherein are located districts containing separate schools must pay the county tax for the maintenance of the separate schools against paying for the support of such schools in other districts in the same county. The separate school question is one of the important political issues in Oklahoma, the supreme court having decided they must be established wherever demanded. TO THE BUSINESS MEN.

If you are candidates for political nominations and desire to reach the colored vote of the countw or state, the New Age, the official organ of the colored people, extends its columns for your use. We make a specialty of cuts and political cards. When we consider the amount of work the Negro has done in this country, and the net returns to himself, it would seem that he has a genius for making other people rich. The colored inhabitants of Cuba protested against color distinctions in the matter of office holding, and as a result they have been offered eighty places on police force and twelve positions as letter carriers. The Colored Agricultural and Mechanical Association of Lexington Ky., organized in 1869, is a member of the National Trotting association. This distinction is enjoyed by no other Negro association in America. The colored people of Montgomery, Ala., refused to ride in the Jim Crow street car. When they had walked around the city a few days the street car company decided that it was their loss and decided to let the colored people ride where they pleased. Professor Sledd, of Emory college, in Georgia, has resigned his place because of the storm of condemnation he has aroused in that state and other parts of the south by an article he wrote on the Negro question for a northern magazine. Some of his state'ments in criticism of the whites were exceedingly strong. G. Alexander McGuire, rector of St. Thomas' church, Philadelphia, which is the oldest colored Episcopal church in the United States. He is a native of the West Indies and was educated in the colonial colleges. His church has 450 communicants, twelve guilds, a choir of forty voices and property worth $100,000. The colored people of New Orleans are preparing what we predict will be an effective protest against the enforcement of the recently enacted separate street car law. They are organizing a company to operate vehicles in opposition to the street cars. That's good! We have a right to "discriminate against people who put a race of people to so much in convenience." Since Charles H. Moore, the first colored graduate of Amherst college, left that institution in 1878, he has been engaged in educational work in North Carolina, his native state. For the last five years he has been at the head of the academic department of the agricultural and mechanical college for the colored race at Greensboro. Mrs. Edmund Rice, wife of the colonel of the 26th regiment of volunteers, who is well known in Chicago, by reason of her residence there during the world's fair, has put in a claim at the war department for $1,000,000, alleged to be due as royalty on a device for rolling up and carrying shelter tents by the army since the civil war. According to the Honolulu correspondent of the Boston Transcript, the color line is something that in Hawai'i is absolutely unknown. "Black and white and yellow and brown are on a social equality. American, Hawaiian and Negro sit down at the same table with Japanese and Chinese, and with never a thought of proprieties. The social conditions are probably the most peculiar of any place in the United States. William Still, a noted Afro-American, died a few days ago at his home in Philadelphia. Before the war he assisted thousands of slaves to secure their freedom by escaping to the free states. He published a book called "The Underground Railroad," and it had a tremendous sale. The book told of the means used to help his race to escape from the south. Deceased was eighty years of age and was worth nearly a million of dollars at the time of his death. 1 NOTICE. The Negroes of Philadelphia have tied up in banks, trust companies and other white concerns, over $2,000,000 all told. Colored men in the United States 230 rated drugstores with an investment of something over a half million dollars. All who attended the Negro Christian and Educational congress are loud in their praise of the music rendered by the great choir of 1,00 voices, which was under the direction of Prof. Resborough, musical editor of the musical department of the National Baptist Publishing board, of Nashville, Tenn. The Atlantic press was extremely liberal in its praise of the professor. The chorus was handled as only a great director could handle it. The rendering of "Princes Awake," one of the professor's own productions, brought forth thunderous applause. It is a fine anthem and the great chorus rendered it in grand style. A New York philanthropist has recently given Principal Washington $25,000 towards the endowment fund of the school. This gift brings the total endowment up to $345,000, not including the Federal grant of 25,000 acres of land from the sale of which the school confidently expects to realize an additional $25,000. Governor Yates, of Illinois, will show to the white citizens of Eldorado that they cannot order Negroes to leave, and he further states that if the sheriff cannot protect the colored citizens he will take the matter up himself. We are much of the opinion of the governor. Since we are citizens the law should protect us all. We should have more just such Christian gentlemen, who are not afraid to let their fellow brother know they want to protect the Negroes. Prof. E. A. Johnson, dean of the Law Department of Shaw University, and author of the famous "School History Negro Race," and "History of Negro Soldiers in the Spanish American war," being asked about the condition of the colored people in North Carolina, states that they are rapidly adapting themselves to the new conditions of citizenship under the recent amendment to the state constitution, and are turning their attention to the acquisition of property and education, and that there is a friendly sentiment expressed toward the colored people by the best class of white people. The colored people do not like the amendment, but since it is a fixture at presenst, they hope to make the best they can out of a bad situation. Republican sentiment, he said, favors Roosevelt for 1904. Dr. A. M. Brown, a colored physician of Birmingham, Ala., has made a fortune by inventing a new car for use in coal mines. The Age Herald of Birmingham says that the new car is far superior to all others in use. According to that paper Dr. Brown has sold the right to make and sell them in five states to the Chattanooga Car and Foundry company, receiving a royalty on all that are sold. The purchasing company says that the royalties alone will amount to about $50,000 a year. Several large coal mines in Tennessee have ordered the cars and will substitute them in place of the old ones now in use. Dr. Brown is a graduate of Lincoln University, Pa., class of '88, University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, class of '91. Medical Department and was a first lieutenant and assistant surgeon in the Spanish war, serving with the famous 10th calvary in Cuba MISSION WORK IN SOUTH AF- RICA. Dear Friends of "Old Forest": Dear Friends of Old Forest: About a month ago while sitting on the beach of the Indian ocean, where we had taken the school for a day's outing. I started a letter to you but failed to finish it, so I will try again. I can hardly realize when I think how fast time has gone that I have been in Africa nearly two months. After so long a delay a description of my welcome to Fair View would seem stale, so I will tell a little about the country and people. Durban is our nearest port for large vessels and is an English town with street cars and other improvements that remind one of America. Fair View mission station is about fifty miles south of Durban on a high hill and overlooks the Indian ocean. By air line we are less than a mile from the ocean and have a fine view of the sea and ships that pass, and much of the time we can hear the waves as they break on the shore. The railroad running from Cape Town to Durban along the coast, is, to drive not more than a mile and half from us. The country here is very rough and the hills are generally very steep and the slopes so irregular that I do not know how to describe THE NEW AGE. them. They are not parallel, but in every direction. Often, when in a hollow, you will see high land on tour sides and looking out over the country. I doubt if the eye can find in one place one acre of perfectly level ground. The three houses on the station form a triangle. If I want to go direct to Broadheads, I must go down and up again a very steep hill, yet to look across we are only a short distance apart. If I go around the triangle by way of Gray's I can avoid the big hollow by going up a lesser hill and down a similar slope. What are rivers here would be runs at home, but in the wet season they become quite swollen. I meant to say that further in land and also along the coast further north the land is not so rough excepting where mountains are found. One of the stations has in sight mountains covered with snow the entire year. I can hardly realize that you are now eating new potatoes, green peas, string beans, etc., while we are having out winter. But notwithstanding the fact that this is mid-winter, roses, geraniums, oleanders and other flowers are blooming, and bananas, pine apples, lemons and ban fruits (the winter crop) are ripening and have been ever since I came. Our weather now is much like October at home, except that the sun's hotter in the middle of the day. The nights are quite cold. We have very little rain here in the winter, and the roads are hard and smooth, and the ground in general is quite hard. We had quite a rain the day we landed and only one real rain since and that did not make muddy roads. We are hoping we will soon have a good rain, as rain water is here our best drinking water and our tanks are so near empty that we will soon be com'pelled to use river water for cooking as well as for other work. Rain water does not get stale here as it does at home, but on hot days I sometimes think of the nice cold water of Tionesta. However, we thank God for the privilege of being here and take these things as some of the "all things" that are for our good. We have from our own farm bananas, pine apples, lemons, oragnes, and in their season other fruit common to America, and some I never saw there; and peanuts, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, inferior, however, to American beans; and have our own chickens and eggs. We can get canned meats and vegetables and butter, brought in tin cans from Australia, from Durban, but such goods are very expensive. Butter costs about fifty cents a pound, dried beef nearly twice what it costs at home, and most all other canned goods five or ten cents more a pound besides freight. Eggs are worth, the year round, about fifty cents or sixty cents a dozen. We can buy furniture of Montgomery Ward & Co. and pay freight and duty on it to Durban and it is still cheaper than to buy it at Durban. in this part of Africa we have very little woods, excepting what is called bush, consisting of trees and brush in the hollows, so do not have many large animals. Monkeys are quite plenty. This morning four of them came up within a few rods of the house. The monkeys and some large birds are all the animals of special interest I have seen. I have heard in number of "snake stories" which are true but they are not so plenty in the winter, so I have not seen a living snake since I came. But I will be able to tell you more about snakes ticks, mosquitos, gnats, etc., when summer comes. The natives are not as dark as the American negro, who were taken from the west coast of Africa and the features of these here are more like the European. They do not worship idols as in India, and have in their language words to express the idea of God. The best word to express the ida of Holy Spirit is "OcwebileUmoya," meaning holy wind in their language, and the word Umoya may also mean ghost, breath, etc. Their language is much moore euphonic than the English and in many cases makes closer distinctions as to shades of meaning. I am enjoying very much the study of the language and talk a little in it. I will not take time now to tell you of their native huts, ther superstitions, games and beer drinks, and customs as found where they are raw heaten' as all that would alone make a letter, or several of them, and you will want to know a little of the work here at the station. We have here a class of about one hundred members, besides probationers and others being taught the things of God, and a school for children of the station, and the girls' home and school in which I teach. Some of the children are quite bright to learn, and on the whole make a very interesting school. Martha, who assists in the girls' school, has two brothers in school in America and one enters Yale this fall. We have some very interesting characters among our native Christians, of whom I may tell you later. If I had ever questioned whether missions pay it would be settled forever after coming to Fairir View. Eleven years ago there was not a christian here nor even a native who wore clothes, now we have all of the above and have dedicated a church built entirely by the natives. They made and carried many if not all of the brick in the building and have paid in money, about $500, in the last four or five years. The first year they gave about fifty dollars, and that amount from people whose wages are about 25 cents a day is as much as several hundred dollars be at home. The second year they gave about sixty dollars, the third one hundred and this year in collections and subscriptions two hundred and fifty dollars. It seems hardly possible. At our quarterly meeting a few weeks ago they gave for the above chapel twenty-five dollars in cash. Last Sabbath morning the superintendent of the mission, Rev. J. P. Brodhead, stated that twenty-five dollars were still needed and in a few moments without any waiting or coaxing whatever we had just twice as much as was needed in cash and good reliablesubscriptions. I never saw such a service in America, or a better one at least. They gave too as if they enjoyed it. After the dedicatory sermon the chapel was formally given to God and His presence filled the house in a wonderful manner. While we have many christianse here the number around us who are still in darkness makes the heart sad and we feel like redoubling our energies and crying to those at home: "The harvest truly is great and the laborers few; send forth laborers" who will help to spread the light of this glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. It is now nearly time for foreign post so must hasten. I would enjoy hearing personally from many of my Tionesta (and also county) friends. I have been remarkably well continually since I came here. Some one remarked that I was the very picture of health. FIVE 9AGE ROSA D. HUNTER, Fair View M. S., Umzumbia, Natal, JUMPED FROM GRAVEYARD. Negro Tried to Scare His Brother and Received Mortal Wound. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Demo crat. Leavenworth, Kan., August 23.— Henry Bussic, a negro, aged 28 years, was shot and fatally wounded by his brother, John Bussic, aged 14. near the Christian church, in High Prairie township, tonight. Henry, who lived about two miles from his father's home, started on a visit to his father, John, the boy at the same time started on a visit to Henry, and carried a rifle with him. Henry noticed his brother John coming and started to scare him. He jumped from the graveyard into the road in front of his brother, who did not know who it was, and he shot quickly, the bullet entering Henry's left breast below the heart. No ill-feeling existed between the brothers, and after John had discovered he had shot his brother he ran to the neighbors and told them of it. Henry is still alive, and made a statement exonerating his brother from all blame. Both are industrious negroes, well thought of in the neighborhood. THE INTER MOUNTAIN In the attempt of the Inter Mountain, the official organ of the republican party in this state, to constantly bellittle the colored people and every function given by them in their ridiculous and absurd accounts of them. Also in every incident relating to anything a colored man or woman does or says, expressing their sentiments in a dialect which the city editor imagines is the negro dialect of the plantation, is not only evening a bigoted, ignorant disposition (which should me unworthy the dignity of a great newspaper) but is also having a telling effect upon the colored voters in this county. The city editor knows neither negro dialect or English rhetoric, and when he mixes the two, the compound is a species of language which has not yet been classified and is harder to decipher than Egyptian hieroglyphics, altho he may not be aware of the fact—yet there are colored men in Butte who can teach the city editor of the Inter Mountain both diction or negro dialect, as it is properly spoken. For the sake of its readers the Inter Mountain should send him to school until he learns one or the other. His mangled verbiage at present in reporting facts and incidents in the life of the colored people of the city is worse than the joyou of one of Professor Hoff man's monkeys.

Lee, escorted to the depot by a host of friends, left Thursday night for Tuskegee, Alabama, to begin his course of study in Booker T. Washington's famous manual training school. The tennis tournament in singles resulted in Mr. James Harvard winning the colored championship of the state, defeating such crack players as Gordon, Clark, Palmer, Mosely and others. Chaplain Allensworth, the gifted and noted chaplain of the 24th regiment of infantry, and one of the highest ranking colored officers in the U. S. army, is at the post with his family. On Thursday, August 28th, the U. O. O. F. lodge gave their annual picnic and ball at Central park. Through out the day the ladies served tempting viands from their generous baskets and the children romped and played about the grounds. At 8:30 o'clock dancing commenced. The bright dresses of the ladies, intermingled with the darker clothing, worn by the gentlemen, and here and there the uniform of Uncle Sam's boys, made a very pretty sight. Every one reported having had a very nice time. At a late hour the merry gathering boarded the last car for the city, tired, but happy. Jimmy Yancey returned home with plenty of game, no money and the same amount of shells he took out.

It is said two ladies, whose faces were always seen at the track went out as usual yesterday—forgetting that the races were over. There was a great outpouring of children both young and old to the circus. Some of the children came near being run over by Bob, Jimmy Duncan, Fletcher and several other society ladies in their anxiety to see the animals. The South Side Gun club, whose membership numbers a few less than a dozen, with the full organization, left last Sunday morning for their happy hunting grounds, in the vicinity of Whitehall, all attired in battle array. Captain Lawrence, who is unquestionably the most accurate marksman of the party, and who never loses a chance to take a shot at game sitting or flying, had the phenomenal good fortune of landing ducks with three shots. Sargent Yancy had some luck and returned to the city with a good supply. Rankin Officer C. A. Davis was all out when he arrived at his residence, packing a hunting coat loaded to the guards with dead game. General Jones was satisfied to sit in the shade and give orders to be delivered by Corporal Pearl, who in transmitting the general's commands was lost in the mountains; thus General Jones' biggest luck of the day was to find his lost messenger. After putting their enemy to flight the general gave orders to stack arms, and prepare to march to the fort. All returned on the afternoon train care worn and seemed to be glad to thus be relieved from field day. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Davies left Wednesday night for Leavenworth Kansas, to visit friends and relatives for several weeks. They will also visit several towns and cities in Missouri. Mrs. Lewis, who is going to Chicago accompanied them as far as Lincoln, Nebraska. Depot: 401 S. Wyoming Telephone 548. Jobbing, Cabinet and Office Fixtures a Specialty.

Gold and bonds in three separate and vast consignments had come in late-too late for deposit. For the night nearly a million dollars must remain in the office safe. The unexpected infux had kept the junior partner later than usual, for he was a master of the detail of his office. For a time he debated establishing an extra guard at the office, but gave over that idea. Special precautions would arouse talk, and there were business reasons for keeping the matter quiet. Anyway, the burglar alarm system and the special watchman were sufficient guarantee of safety. So the junior partner leaned back in his easy office chair and closed his eyes for a moment. "Anything more, Mr. Franklin?" asked the senior bookkeeper from the inner office, where the big safe was kept. "No. Has every one gone?" "Every one but you and me, sir," replied the other with the exact particularity of language which is the result of long years spent over ledgers. "Good night, then. I shall be coming along in a few moments." It seemed a very few moments after the door had closed on the head bookkeeper when Franklin opened his eyes again. He swung forward in his chair, dazed, for darkness was about him. Consciousness, dragging itself slowly from the cloying sands of sleep, struggled with vague uncertainties. The flicker of an electric light from Wall street, seen through a distant window, helped the junior partner to recall himself to realities. He half turned, and in that instant was wide awake, for a harsh, startled voice outside said: "What's that?" "Shut your head," piped another voice in a high, piercing tone instinct with savageness. "You didn't hear anything." "Maybe 'twas somethin' outside. Where's the glim?" "Don't open up too wide, you fool," warned the high voice as a band of light appeared and broadened through the darkness. Sitting motionless as stone, Franklin heard the men moving along the outside partition until they reached a point opposite him. There was a bumbling at the door, which was fastened by a spring lock. "Hold on," said the gruff voice. "Le's climb over the partition." "Climb over nothing!" retorted the other voice angrily. "Going out to look for a ladder, I suppose. D'you think we got all night to waste?" "You said the watchman was doped for two hours." "What's two hours to a bungling fool like you up against a good safety?" "You gimme an hour at this safe, and I'll make a wide open Noo York of it," said the gruff voice confidently. "Open up that door first, then," said the other. "That's all right, but every time I tackle a door I think of that burglar alarm we run against in Steyn's joolry store." "We ain't goin' to run against any alarm here. Didn't I tell you I squared the janitor's assistant and fixed the wires in the cellar?" "Well, there might be in the other furiously. "Cut it out! D'you think you can teach me anything about any kind of wires, alarm or telegraph, or anything else? Haven't I been everything from lineman to operator, and didn't I run the wire tapping outfit that bliked the poolrooms last year?" "Hold the light here, then," growled the confederate. "The lock's dead easy." During this conversation Franklin sat paralyzed at his desk. Any resistance that he could put up against the robbers would be almost useless. He had never kept a revolver in his desk and was accustomed to deride mildly the more cautious men of his acquaintance who always kept a loaded weapon at hand. Now he cursed himself for neglecting this precaution, recalling a saying of a western friend: "You don't want a gun very often, but when you do want it you want it bad." The entrance of the robbers meant ruin to him and to his firm. How easy the safe would be for them he knew better than they, for the heavy door had been left open at his orders that he might put some papers in it before closing. On any other night the safe would have been closed. But this night, of all others, the junior partner had fallen asleep at his post, and not only he himself, but a thousand innocent people, whose interests were bound up in the house, were to suffer the penalty. Well, he would at least do what he could to save them, though it were at the forfeit of his own life. A wild idea of smashing his window and shouting for help he put aside. To send one's voice ringing up and down an empty airshaft, bordered by vacant windows, would be a cheerless performance and prodigal of breath that he might need later on. that he might. Then it came to his mind that his paper cutter was a Malay creese, small, but keen and strong. Armed with this he could creep over to the door and when it opened stab at least one of the invaders. Undoubtedly the other would shoot him, but that didn't much matter, and possibly the second man might not care to wait for loot under the circumstances. Sliding his hand along in search of the weapon, he touched with an exploring finger the spring lock of "No. Has every one gone?" "Well, there might be"— his desk. It gave a little and flew up with a metallic click. Like a flash the thought of how he had in idle moments sat there and with his pencil shaft on the lock ticked off Morse code messages to nowhere, joined with the memory of what the high voice had said as to its owner's telegraphic acquirements, and the two ideas, coalesced in a well defiled hope. As an operator the junior partner was some what rusty, and as an instrument the spring lock was only a fair tonal imitation. But it was a chance—the best one in sight and as such to be seized. Franklin seized it. At the first accidental click the fumbling at the door had caused. "There's somebody in there," growled the harsh voice, quavering threatly. Evidently its owner was in a tremulous state of mind. There was nothing tremulous about his partner. "In your mind," he snarled. "If there is, I've got a bullet for him—and my knife for you, you sniveling whelp, if you don't brace up," he added in a frenzied squeal. "Don't," gasped the other. "Tl-go on. I'll—" "Tick-tick, tl-ck; tick-tick, tl-ck; tick-tick, tl-ck," sounded clear through the darkness. "There!" chattered the man who was working on the door. "Did you-did you— Wha-at was it?" There was a period of silence, broken only by the sharp clicking. "It's a telegraph call; that's what it is. I don't have to be a operator to know that." The quavering voice was answering its own question. "It couldn't be." There was not the fierce assurance in the piping voice now that there had been. "It don't sound like any instrument I ever heard. Oh. I know." Relief was evident in the tone, and a correspondingly sickening feeling rose in the junior partner's chest. "It's one of those stock tickers working overtime. You aren't going to let a thing like that"— "You said you'd cut the wires, growled the other voice. "You lied to me. I ain't goin' to stay. Agrrr! Leggo my throat!" The growl had suddenly been compressed to a wheezing squeak. "Open up that door or I'll strangle you!" The piping voice had a wild beast note in it now. The fumbling at the door was resumed. Franklin could hear the lock sliding. Doggedly he kept on with his pencil, spelling out his faked message. "Tick-tick-tick, tick, ti-lick-tick, ti-lick-tick, Tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tick"— "It's a message." The high voice was shriller than ever. "S-e-n-d h-e—send help!" A high pitched, savage oath rang in the air. "Cut it, Dutch. He's got a private wire there." The junior partner got to his feet, pressed a button and leaped upon his desk. In the flood of light that he had turned on he could see over the partition a tall, thickset fellow leading a little, wiry, redheaded man in a race to the outer door. There the little man, half turning, saw him. "Ah, you would!" he screamed furiously. "Take that!" His revolver spurted flame. There was a crash of glass, and Franklin jumped to the floor unhurt. Across the office he raced, thrown up a window and sent his voice ringing out between the high buildings of the street. "Around in Broad street!" he called as trampling feet answered his shouts and the dark figures of two policemen appeared. Then he went back, closed the safe, seated himself at his desk and wrote busily. When the detectives from the police station came in, breathless, he handed a slip of paper to each. "There's the best description I can give of the men" he said. "You can read it as you run." Sandstorms. Sand and dust whirls occur in arid regions in hot weather. They may be anywhere from a rod to several rods in diameter and from twenty to a thousand feet high. They are sometimes compound, a score or more small whirls forming a whirling circle around a common center. They are very common in India. They sometimes carry up so much sand in the Sahara and Arabia that those on whom the sand falls are overwhelmed. They occur also in the arid regions of the United States. In the Magdalena valley, across the mountains westward from Socorro, in New Mexico, during a hot day in summer they form at the head of a valley in a long, slender, vertical column perhaps 600 feet high and then travel down the valley toward the village of Magdalena, over which they burst sometimes, bringing little puffs of contrary winds and a shower of fine dust. In some places a group of stationary whirls of the same general character as the preceding is tied down to one point. Such are the whirls which form sometimes over volcanoes. Bigger Than the Sun. A minute parallax of about one-sixteeth of a second of arc found for Arcturus by Dr. Elkin gives a most astounding result. This small parallax implies a distance from the earth equal to about 12,000,000 times the sun's distance. This vast distance would produce a diminution of light of about $35\%$ magnitudes, so that the sun placed at the distance of Arcturus would be reduced to a star of only $9\%$ magnitude! It would not be visible with an opera glass! Arcturus is therefore in round numbers $9\%$ magnitudes, or over 6,000 times brighter than the sun would be at the same distance. Assuming the same density and brightness of surface as the sun, the diameter of Arcturus would therefore be about seventy-nine times the sun's diameter, or over 68,000,000 miles, and its mass about 500,000 times the mass of the sun—figures well calculated to "stagger the imagination." — Gentleman's Magazine.

Dr. Furnivall, founder of the English Browning society, frequently consulted the poet as to the meaning of some passage in his works. "Bless me," Browning would say, "I really have forgotten what I did mean, and as I haven't got a copy of my works by me I really can't enlighten you. Just lend me the book, there's a good fellow. I'll look it over at my leisure and try to find out what was in my mind at the time." Suited the Action to the Word. "I was to come on the stage stealthily and say 'Hist!'" explained the fledgelling actor. "And—" "And I said it, and I was," he mournfully concluded. -Baltimore American.
