Portland NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Extensive reforms are proposed in the British army. Some of Bryan's admirers say he will organize a new party. The Russian cabinet has offered its resignation to the czar. Anarchy reigns in Russia and open rebellion is expected at any time. Thousands of Jews are fleeing from Russia. It is claimed 40,000 left Warsaw in a single day. The most destructive fire in 80 years has just swept Stockholm, Sweden. The loss is placed at $710,000. Captain Dreyfus has been declared innocent and will be restored to his old rank and shortly promoted. Ex-President Regalado, of Salvador, has been killed in battle while leading a force against the Guatemalan troops. The grand jury of the District of Columbia has indicted the ice company officials of Washington for conspiring to control and raise the price of ice. Admiral Chouknin, commander of the Russian Black sea fleet, died from the wound inflicted by a sailor in revenge for the admiral having refused to pardon some men who had mutinied. The Longworths are visiting in Paris. Lord Roberts wants a larger British army. Rebels are in full control of Motto Grosso, Brazil. The czar has offered to appoint a Democratic cabinet. The open door in Manchuria is blocked by Japan, who is absorbing the trade. The upper house of the 'Russian parliament favors the abolishment of the death penalty. Admiral Rojestvensky has been acquitted. It was held that on account of his wounds he was not responsible. Turkey opposes having an American ambassador, fearing thereby that the American claims will be forced upon the sultan. Leroy Beaulieu, the great French historian, predicts the overthrow of the czar unless he yields to the demands of the people. More than 1,000,000 immigrants entered the United States through the New York station during the fiscal year ending June 30 last. The immigrants brought with them $19,000,000. Cossack troops have refused to serve on police duty. A grand jury is after the ice trust of Washington, D. C. Colombia is said to be plotting with the Indians of Panama. After a boycott of three years Great Britain has received a minister from Servia. A regiment of Russian cavalry has mutinied and barricaded themselves in the barracks at Tambor. The Civil Service commission has recommended the inclusion of the Internal Revenue service in the classified service. The Chicago council proposes the death penalty for assailants of women and children. Attacks have become so frequent a woman is not now safe in her own home. The vice president and general manager of the New York Central offered to go before a grand jury and tell what he knew about rebates and thus secure immunity, but his offer has been refused. So far American engineers have not succeeded in gaining any idea of the plans of the big British battleship Dreadnaught which will help them in the construction of the largest battleship afloat for the navy of the United States. There is a rumor of another massacre of Jews in Warsaw, Russia. A grand jury has been called at Denver to investigate city and county affairs. Washington policy holders will test the legality of the increase in insurance rates. Bryan has expressed his willingness to be nominated for the presidency by Reform Democrats. The War department has purchased four automobiles which will receive a thorough test at the coming army maneuvers in the East. SHOT BY SISTER. Slayer of Holy Roller Creffield Murdered in Seattle. Seattle, July 13. — Esther Mitchell shot and killed her brother George, the slayer of Franz Edmund Creeffield, in the Union depot at 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as George and his brother Perry were on their wav to take a Northern Pacific train for Portland. Miss Mitchell was walking behind the two brothers, in company with a third brother, Fred. She had gone to the depot for the purpose of killing her brother, and though she greeted him with a smile and a hearty handshake, she loitered behind to get her opportunity. A revolver purchased the day before by Mrs. Creeffield for the assassination was carried concealed under a cape thrown carelessly over Esther Mitchell's left arm. Fred Mitchell offered to carry the cape, and as she handed it to him, the sister raised her revolver and fired. The bullet struck young Mitchell behind the left ear and he died instantly. As the gun was brought up Fred Mitchell leaped to seize the weapon but he was too late. He grabbed Esther's arm just after she fired and the girl collapsed in his arms. She stayed there until depot policemen hurried up and placed her under arrest. Both Esther Mitchell and Mrs. Creeffield, who was arrested at 7 o'clock last night while on her way back from the cemetery where "Joshua" Creeffield is buried, acknowledged in statements taken before Chief Wappenstein that they had conspired to kill George. Had it been necessary Esther Mitchell was prepared to follow her brother to Portland. It was this insane demand for vengeance that prompted her to refuse to accompany her father on his return to Illinois. "I killed George because he had killed an innocent man, and because he had rined my reputation by saying that Creeffield seduced me," Esther Mitchell declared, but both her statement and that of Mrs. Creeffield indicate that the two had conspired to assassinate. Mrs. Creeffield prompted the shooting and she bought the gun with which it was done. It had been agreed between them that the first one seeing George should slay him. REBELS WIN GREAT VICTORY. General Toledo Routes Government Forces With Great Loss, Mexico City, July 13.—According to advices received here, General Toledo, the Guatemalan revolutionist, who has been recruiting his forces and has now some good artillery, offered battle yesterday to Guatemalan regular troops in the department of Jutinpa, at a point about four miles from the Salvadorean border, inflicting decisive defeat on Guatemalan forces. There was heavy loss on both sides. The revolutionists are jubilant over their success. Regalado, former president of Salvador, and the leader of the Salvadorean troops in the present conflict with Guatemala, was killed in the battle. Guatemala Claims Victory: Panama, July 13. — Senior Parriros, foreign minister of Guatemala, cabled to the Panama government this afternoon as follows: "Guatemala, July 12. — The Salvadorean government has invaded Guatemalan territory, compelling us to make an energetic defense. We obtained a complete victory yesterday at Jicardo, where General Tomas Regalado, the chief commander of the Salvadorean army, was killed." Plans to Suppress Revolt. St. Petersburg, July 12. The preparations which the War office has been making at all principal cities to meet an armed revolutionary movement prove to have been very elaborate. The plans for the defense of Riga have fallen into the hands of the revolutionary paper Misla, which this morning publishes the entire plans of defense. The garrison is divided into three divisions of two battalions of infantry, half a company of Cossacks and three machine guns each, to prevent the invasion of the city from three open sides, namely, the canal, the dam and the river Duna. Asks Root to Give Help. San Juan Porto Rico, July 13.—The lower house of the insular legislature adopted a resolution asking Secretary Root to use his good offices in behalf of Porto Rican citizenship and an elective insular senate. The Republicans, who constitute the minority in the legislature, opposed the resolution, holding that Mr. Root was the island's guest and that the time and place were inopportune. It is reported that the document was not presented before the sailing of Mr. Root, the authorities not desiring to interfere with his visit. Trade With Britain Killed London, July 13. In June of last year there arrived at the Albert docks from Boston and New Orleans 27,000 cases of tinned meats; in June of this year the receipts were only 4,000 cases. In July, 1905, 24,000 cases were received, but thus far this month none have arrived from the United States. TAKES ON NEW LIFE San Francisco's Business Resuming Normal Condition. BIG BUILDING BOOM HAS BEGUN When Insurance Companies Pay Up Reconstruction of Metropolis Will Proceed in Rush. San Francisco, July 12.—Although the city's building laws were in a chaotic state during the month of June, building permits were issued to the value of $1,600,000, and in this sum are not included those one story temporary structures which may be erected for a time without special permit. Now that the building law has been promulgated, reconstruction will take its real start. It is hampered solely by the slowness of the insurance companies. Up to the present time but $15,000,-000 has been paid out in insurance. Were the various companies to loosen their purse strings as the situation demands, San Francisco would at once enter upon a building boom such as has never been known before. As it is, plans at this transitory stage are being drawn for a dozen tall buildings to be erected in the heart of the burned district. An Oakland department store, observing that it was unable to meet its augmented trade by the small order system, determined to place an order for a train load of goods in the East. A few days before the goods arrived, the proprietor of the Oakland store became alarmed, fearing he had placed an order beyond his capacity to handle. He telephoned to a large department store in San Francisco, asking to be relieved of half of the consignment. The San Francisco firm consented. When the goods arrived, the San Francisco disposed of them before he had fairly placed the goods on the shelves, telephoned to his Oakland friend, purchased the rest of the consignment and disposed of it with the same alacrity as he had done the first part. This simply illustrates that San Francisco is not to be displaced as the main trade center. The bridging of the bay, which was a pet scheme of some of the earlier railroad magnates, is now to be put through. President Harriman has ordered that work begin immediately. By this improvement freight will not be brought across by boat from Oakland, but all freight trains can be deflected south around the loup and brought direct into San Francisco. In connection with this work the railroad is also building a cut-off into San Francisco for its coast trains. ADMIRAL FATALLY SHOT Chouknin, Suppressor of Black Sea Mutiny, is Wounded. St. Petersburg, July 12.—An attempt was made at 1 o'clock this afternoon at Sevasstopol to assassinate Admiral Chouknin, commander of the Black sea fleet. The admiral was wounded and taken to a hospital. The would-be-assassin is a sailor, who hid in the bushes and shot at the admiral as he was walking in the garden of his villa. The culprit has not been apprehended. Admiral Chouknin's condition is extremely serious. The buillet lodged in his lungs, making breathing difficult. The doctors hold out no hope of his recovery. The admiral's assailant is thought to be one of the sailors of the battleship Otchakoff and his act is supposed to be in revenge for the execution of Lieutenant Schmidt, the revolutionary leader. Admiral Chouknin was universally hated by his sailors and at the time of the execution of Schmidt the revolutionists condemned him to death. 100 of their number pledging themselves to carry out the sentence. Rebate Inquiry at Jamestown. Jamestown, N. Y., July 12 — Investigations into the charges of violations of the interstate commerce laws by the Standard Oil company and the Pennsylvania railroad reative to rebates at Olean began yesterday afternoon before Judge Hazel and a jury in the First district court. According to the findings of the commissioner of labor and commerce, the Standard company saved $115,000 in 1904 by its rebates from the Pennsylvania railroad for oil shipped from the refineries at Olean to Rochester. Alaska Gold is Stolen Seattle, July 21. — Over $100,000 consigned to the Alaksa Pacific Express company here has been stolen from aboard the steamer Ida May and nclew has been obtained to the robber. The shipment was sent from Fairbank-and was transferred at Nenana T e Ida May was to transfer it to the Sarat at Fort Gibson and it was there that the loss was discovered. NO. 12. Disgusting Conditions in Sausage and Jam Factories. London, July 11.—The Britishers, who have been so virtuous recently over the Chicago meat packing revelations, were today confronted with the annual report of the inspector of factories and workshops, which shows that the conditions here are quite as revolting as anything alleged of the Western packing centers. Dirty factories and disgusting methods seem to be the rule, instead of the exception. Jam factories, bakeries and sausage makers are all ensured as being equally filthy, and the description of one fits most of the others. Here is the report of a typical jam factory: "The boiling factory lay between the yard and the stable, and the horses reached the latter through the boiling room. The sanitary accommodation was hardly separated from the rooms where the fresh fruit and uncovered jam were kept, and the floors were dirty and undrained." Another factory inspector found jam pots being washed in "liquid like dark soup, which smelled abominably." The manager informed the inspector that the water was changed "about once a week." When fished out of these evil-smelling tanks the pots were allowed to stand until dry, when they were considered ready to refill. Inspectors of bakeries found that it was a frequent custom to bathe the children in them after the close of work on Saturdays, and the family's weekly collection of dirty clothing was sorted in the bakeries for dispatch to the laundry. The sausage factories, says the report, are mostly owned by Germans, are small, dilapidated and poorly lit, and are infected with rats." UNCLE SAM'S GUARANTEE. Roosevelt Offers It for Government Inspected Canned Meat. Sheffield, England, July 11.—The Grocers' federation, whose annual conference is proceeding here, has received a communication from Ambassador Whitelaw Reid, enclosing a message from President Roosevelt, as follows: "You are at liberty to inform the Grocers' federation that under the new law we can and will guarantee the fitness in all respects of tinned meats bearing the government stamp. If any trouble arises therewith, protest can at once be made not merely to the sellers of the goods, but to the United States government itself." The secretary of the federation stated that Mr. Roosevelt's message was in reply to one sent by him on behalf of the federation, saying trade was almost paralyzed and that dealers must be assured of the wholesome character of tinned goods, or otherwise they would have to stop stocking up with American brands. The speaker hoped the publication of the president's message would lead to a revival of the trade. He said the loss to the members of the federation in the canned meat trade had been very heavy. Drastic resolutions were referred to committees, one of which pledged the grocers not to stock with American canned meats until the packers have initiated an inspection system guaranteeing the wholesomeness of their output. MITCHELL IS FREE. Slayer of Holy Roller Leader is Acquitted by Jury. Seattle, Wash., July 11.—George H. Mitchell, who shot Franz Edmund Creeffield, leader of the Holy Rollers, on First avenue, May 7, was acquitted late yesterday afternoon. After nearly an hour and a half in the jury room the 12 men who have listened to the testimony in Mitchell's trial filed back and announced their verdict: "Not guilty." Despite the advance warning of the court that no demonstration would be permitted, irrespective of the verdict, a roar of applause greeted the announcement and the court officers were powerless to still it. The courtroom was crowded, but aside from those who sat in the front row, directly under the eye of the presiding judge, the spectators applauded almost unanimously when the clerk had read the words that freed Creeffield's slayer. Turmoil Grows in Strength. Odeessa, Russia, July 11.—Agrarian outrages and politico-industrial strikes occur daily, and are alarmingly spreading in the Southern provinces. The revolting peasantry are now evidently organized and led by professional propagandists. In an interview today a marshal of the nobility of Kherson expressed the firm conviction that the situation is inevitably and rapidly drifting to a colossal and calamitous uprising of the peasants against the landowners and that the movement will be supported by the soldiers. Black Sea Fleet Mutinies. Sevatopol, July 11. — It is reported that the ironclads Pantelemon and Three Saints have joined the garrison of the Batoum forces, which has been in mutiny. The Three Saints hoisted the red flag and the mutineers are forcibly detaining two other ironclads which had refused to join them. A king has a bomb job. The reason talk is cheap is because the supply is always greater than the demand. Expert chemists who may happen to be out of a job might find employment in doctoring the tainted money. Emperor William is reported to be a close friend of Miss Krupp. In time of peace William prepares for war. Another beautiful thing about the egg industry is that it has demonstrated its independence of a trust. John D. Rockefeller is charged with being a poor speller. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that it isn't written "Rockefellow." Primitive man is supposed to have lived on roots. But let us not be too quick to envy him. Perhaps somebody had a monopoly on roots. In Birmingham, England, they are manufacturing power from garbage. Some of it is probably strong enough when they gather it on a hot day. "China is suspected of being two-faced," says a contemporary. We can't believe it. If it had another face it wouldn't wear the one it uses now. Anybody who can invent a safe and sane method of fastening the feminine hat in place may consider that his fortune is made. The present pin is a deadly weapon. Count Witte is reported to be very pessimistic at this time. We don't blame him. In fact, we can't understand what right any Russian has to be very cheerful. Secretary Shaw says he would go 1,000 miles to see the grave of a government employee who had died of overwork. But suppose he were the occupant of it himself? The New York Sun believes in calling a "leg" a leg, as well as in calling a "spade" a spade. The use of "limb" for "leg" the Sun condemns as both vulgar and ambiguous. Hottentot wildows cut off a finger joint every time they remarry. If that custom were adopted in this country, Newport would soon be known as the home of the club-handed women. It appears that the original "Deadwood Dick," the dime novel hero, became a peddler of gum in his old age. The inducements for becoming a hero get smaller and smaller every year. The United States is going to build the biggest battle ship in the world as a move toward universal peace, on the theory that any nation which gets a glimpse of the big ship will be scared too bad to start anything. "If there was money to be given out," said one of the railroad officials who had been caught in the graft net, "I was there to take it." This seems to be the great trouble at the present time. Apparently there is always somebody on hand to take it. English-speaking people are reluctant to interfere with political liberty, but it becomes a serious question how far they are bound to exercise such restraint in dealing with those whose avowed object is to destroy all civilized society by force, and who regard good governments as worse than bad governments by the very fact of their being good. If the revolutionary anarchists of Europe and America choose to make themselves an international menace they may be sure that society will find means of protecting itself. Many practices which ten years ago, five years ago, one year ago, and even six months ago were in favor, public opinion having no condemnation for them, are now held to be odious and even criminal. This is perhaps the most notable development of the day, namely, the creation of a higher standard for the conduct of American business. The revelations of graft in the insurance and railroad companies are a shock to national pride and yet there is hardly an American who does not know that in one form or another graft has entered largely into the corporate life as into the political life of the country. The saving clause of the situation is that it seems a passing phase in our national progress. The optimist has reason to rejoice that the national conscience has been touched and that public opinion is establishing higher ideals. It is a grand thing for the country and its future that the American lad and young girl, with whom the nation's future will rest, have taken thoroughly to the outdoor life and its health-giving sports. We used to be considered an energetic but exceedingly nervous people, living in superheated rooms in winter, careless of our diet, with pastry as the national dish, dyspepsia as the national disease and invigorating athletic sports almost unknown among our recreations. How different everything is now! Look about you at the young men and women of the hour, devoted to golf, tennis, baseball, boating, field, track and water sports of all kinds, riding, hunting and what not, and see the glow of health that is in their cheeks. Does it not foretell the story of the country's greater future? Can anything go wrong with a people so physically well built that moral clearness of vision, high ambitions and ability to strive and win must necessarily go with it? A minister in an Ohio town recently made a canvass by mail to ascertain why so large a proportion of the men of his community absented themselves from church. He received the usual explanations. The absentees stayed away, they said, because they were tired on Sunday and wanted recreation, because the sermons were dull, because church members treated them coldly when they went, and because many church members were hypocrites. If mere frequency of repetition were decisive these explanations of church absenteeism would have to be accepted as the true ones, for they have been offered innumerable times. The question naturally arises, however, why, if desire for recreation, dull sermons, and hypocrites are what keep men away, they do not also keep women away? The studies by Havelock, Ellis, Starbuck, Prof. Coe, and others of the psychology of religion suggest that the chief cause of the "eternal feminine" in the churches may be found in the fundamental differences of nature of the sexes. The feminine nature tends to be passive and susceptible, the masculine to be active and insusceptible. The different qualities are met with in varying degrees in different men and women, but this description of the two sexual temperaments is generally recognized as roughly correct. This may explain why the churches have attracted women more strongly than men. The Sunday services obviously make their appeal chiefly to the passive, susceptible side of the nature. This is always true of the music. It generally has been no less true of the sermon. The virtues which have been most constantly inculcated from the pulpit as essential to the spiritual life have been those of meekness, forgiveness, faith, prayerfulness, etc. The more aggressive moral and civic virtues seldom have been treated as constituents of "spirituality." It is a remarkable fact that until recently, even when church societies were formed for charitable and other purposes requiring active effort; they usually were composed exclusively of women. There is marked tendency among American churches at the present time to lay more stress on the active virtues and afford more opportunity for their exercise. Ministers are preaching more than they ever did before on people's duty not only to live peaceably, honestly, and decently themselves but to do something to improve political and social conditions. "Men's unions" have been formed in many churches, and the number which not only maintains missions but supports social settlements is growing. Many are extending and making more practical their charitable work, and some are even talking of building model tements. It will be interesting to observe what effect, if any, these changes in sermons and extensions of religious activity have upon the male attendance and membership. On the theory of the psychologists they, in the long run, should strongly stimulate men's interest in the churches' work, and judging by what has taken place in some "institutional" churches they are adapted to produce this result. After the Frisco Quake. "Good-morning, Fancy meeting you."—London Sketch. Fearful of Coming Trouble. The wives of two musicians met on the street one day. One was pushing a baby carriage containing three babies, triplets. The other, just over her honeymoon, congratulated her upon such bliss. Upon which the proud mother attributed it to the fact that after returning from their honeymoon the band serenaded them, playing "Three Little Maids from School." The young bride held up her hands in holy horror and exclaimed: "My goodness! That same band serenaded us and played the sextette from 'Florodora'!"—Ponca (Okla.) Courier. The Important Thing.

"When the water struck our house my father got on a bed and floated with the stream until he was rescued." "And you?" said the musician. "Well," said London, "I accompanied him on the piano." -Wasp.

Lyons, after taking official charge of the office a few days ago and acquainting himself with his duties and making the acquaintances in the official circle around him, left Washington last week in response to an invitation to attend the fiftieth anniversary and golden jubilee of Willberforce university at Xenia, Ohio, where he delivered an address to the faculty, students and a large gathering of scholars and educators from all over the country. Wilberforce is a connectioned school under the supervision of the A. M. E church. All of the bishops and general officers of the connection and bishops and elders of various religious denominations were in attendance, as well as the most of the state leaders of Ohio and other states. Dr. Booker T. Washington and Bishop Geo. W. Clinton were among the orators from the South. Rev. Dr. Oscar J. W. Scott, of Wichita, Kas., was also present. Wilberforce university paid a high honor to William T. Vernon by conferring on him the degree of L. L. D., which had been secretly reserved as a surprise to him.—Ex. Professor N. Clark Smith, of Chicago, a composer of note and the director of the Eighth Illinois Regiment band, is soon to start upon a lecture tour, lecturing on the origin of Negro melody. Penitentiary Guard C. C. Guant, of St. Joseph, Mo., shot and killed Richard Smith, a Negro porter in the Pacific house saloon at Jefferson City, Mo., because the Negro asked him to move so that he could sweep. Hon. James W. Johnson (colored), United States consul to Puerto Cabelio, Venezuela, has been nominated by the governments of France and Panama to serve them as consul at the same port. Mr. Johnson has accepted the nomination. Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte, secretary of the United States navy, has given an order that Negroes are to be employed as servants hereafter instead of Japanese. The cause of the order is that Japanese have been discovered making drawings of the vessels on which they were employed and sending them to Japan. THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO FOR JULY. In the July number of the Voice of the Neero the editors have discussed very ably all of the significant tendencies of the world, whether literary, political, social or religious. In a charming editorial entitled "The Voices of the Woods," Max Barber invites us to take to the woods for rest and refreshing shades during these summer days. In this summer dream of the beauties of the woodland Mr. Barber says: At this season of the year, in particular, the woods are full of great, mystic soul-songs. A few months ago we had nature breaking in song and we called the new burst of music Spring. We have come now to the vital beauty of the summer, with all its dazzling pageant of life. The shimmering glare of the sun makes life uncomfortable in the houses and cities. Listen to the voices of the woods. The dainty flowers, the dells, the spicely whispers of the winds, the musical tipple of the brooks, and the quivering notes of the birds, all invite you to the woods. In all the glens and woodways there is a reposeful splendor utterly unknown to the city. The contributed articles this month are particularly timely. Daniel Murray writes on "The Overthrow of the Jim Crow Car Laws"; Mrs. Adrienne Herndon gives an account of the production of Shakespeare at Atlanta university; George W. Harris contributes a lengthy and instructive article on "The Negro's Part in the Discovery and Exploration of America"; on "Boston C. Ransom writes on P. James Bryer inherits"; and on P. James Bryer answers a white preacher who has advocated Negro disfranchisement There are many other interesting features to this number of the Magazine. DID YOU EVER TRY THEM? Who ever heard of anybody who didn't like good oysters? And who ever heard of anybody who had once feasted on Toke Point oysters who would have any other bivalve of that luscious kind? The Toke Point Oyster Company, at 29 Second street, is the sole growers of the celebrated Toke Point oyster, an Eastern oyster transplanted and grown in local beds at Tokeland, Wash. They are unequaled in freshness and superb flavor and are sold to all first-class hotels and on the dining cars of all the railroads. Manager Tyler has spared no pains in his effort to introduce this most excellent product of the oysterbed and has finally succeeded in making it the most popular oyster sold on the Coast. His company does a good sale business with a variety of oysters, but the Toke Point is the popular bivalve with those who like oysters. The company will supply the purchaser with recipes for preparing the oyster in every way—roasted in the shell, steamed in the shell, roasted half shell, a la Newburg, a la la-pette, patapsco oysters, and scalloped oysters. Manager Tyler, who is a business man of well-known integrity and excellent character, has spared no effort to acquaint the public with the special virtues of the Toke Point oyster. NEGRO EDUCATORS. Negro educators are attaining a degree of proficiency that is winning for them places of distinction and honor. The Baptist Home Mission society that spends nearly three hundred thousand dollars annually on its eight great universities for Negro education, not more than five years ago said it would be twenty-five to fifty years yet before a Negro president could be put in charge of its schools, giving as a reason that the professors, and that colored and white teachers alike, would not respect a president of color and that discipline and order among the student body would not be satisfactory with a colored president. This is the same argument that is made for not appointing colored officers in the army. This great educational society, however, has altered its argument and as an experiment has made a beginning by appointing Professor John Hope, one of the teachers, as president of Atlanta university. This is the first time in the history of Freedmen education by Baptist that a Negro has occupied the president's chair in the exclusive Home Missionary schools. If Professor Hope proves a success at Atlanta we expect very soon to see Negro presidents at Richmond, Shaw, Bishop and Roger-Williams universities, the largest and best schools for Negro education conducted by the Baptist denomination. Here again is evidence that the Negro who is prepared to do the best work will sooner or later find the doors of opportunity opening to him. HARD RAP New York, July 2.—Bishop Alexander Walters, of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, was the principal speaker in this morning's session of the African Methodist conference. In introducing him Bishop Turner said Bishop Walters was the only man in America before whom he always took off his hat. "I talk even to President Roosevelt with my hat on," he continued, "but since Bishop Walters went before the great ecclesiastical world in London and made a great plea of defense of his race, I have always honored and respected him." Bishop Turner, who has been presiding over the conference, made another speech. Referring to the supreme court of the United States, and the adverse decisions upon questions affecting the Negro as a citizen, he said that whenever he went on his knees to pray he had a hard struggle with his conscience to refrain from asking God to condemn the supreme court. Bishop Walters offered a resolution that the conference indorse the efforts of the National Afro-American council to raise $50,000 to test in all the courts the illegality of the disfranchisement of the Negro. He said that the council purposed to put a man in Washington to look out for the interests of the Negro. Always ask for the famous General Arthur cigar.

HASELER, Prop. E 1s not eloquent whose words do not change acts. A little tal with Jesus Is worth a lot of talk about Him. ‘The Lord looks at the hearts, not the hats, In the chureh, ‘The honorabla man will always honor the things that are honorable. ‘You can always tell a hog, even in a silk hat, by the way he roots for dirt Every man {s mote closely related to his Father above than to his parents here. é ‘They often find the wellspring In the wilderness who seek the wanderer there. ‘Dhe soclal for revenue only does not Promote the righteousness of the chureb, Every weed that comes to frultage ts to remind us that good seed Is not barren, Nothing will give you a better out- look on this world than some skylights to Heaven. It Is strange that those who talk most of faith in Providence often have least in people. ‘A man gets little nourishment out of the Word when he reads It only to tind shot for saints. If you ave God’s child you will not double up your fists at any of the rest of His family. You cannot ellminate selfishness by legislation, but you can sometimes cheek Its speed. By the time you have boiled your faith down to a form you have taken the life out of it. It's no use praying God to come Into your heart when you are spreading the table for the devil. People who say they go out to look for God In nature are apt to leave their guide books at home. __ There's no promise of a robe of right: eousness to the man who gives away his old overcoat In July. Some men would have nothing to do with the chureh if they could not get a dollar chicken dinner for two bits there. ‘The Judgment will be a great surprise ‘to those who blind themselves to their era faults by keeping busy with those of others, There are men of money who think they are lending their gold to the Lord while the colleges are paying them back by degrees. ‘The Bible contains the mathematics of morality, the trigonometry of truth, the biology of the blessed life, the sel- ence of the soul ‘The man whom God can only use to Kindle fires cannot understand why those who are strong enough for joists are not whittled up as he is. GIRL LIKES TO TAME HORSES. ML-Health Sent Her to a Ranch, but ‘She's a Bronco Buster Now. Miss Winnonah Von Oh! has attract: 2d the attention of horsemen, east and west, through her wonderful success In horse training, says the New York World correspondent at Willow Lake Ranch, N. J. She ts only 20 years of age, yet she has broken the meanest orses on the ranch. Five years ago Miss Von Ohl's moth- er was in poor health and the family physielan ordered her to go to South Dakota for a change of climate. She and the fra!l Winnonan went to the P. J. Bar ranch. Within a few months the young girl learned to ride the well-broken horses, and she became anxious to vie with the cowboy on the ranch in “bronco bust- Ing.” ‘At first the hardy Westerners feared lest the girl be injured; but she per- sisted. She finally was allowed to try ‘her hand on one of the worst-tempered horses on the place. After an exciting expertence, during which the animal ‘kicked, plunged, reared and resorted to all the tricks of his kind, Miss Von Obt conquered him and in a short time had thoroughly broken him. She has followed that line of work ever since with wonderful success and has never encountered a horse that could withstand her methods. She skill; fully uses whip, spur and rope on all refractory animals, but prefers to rely upon her kindness and fo Instill contl- dence into the mind of the animal. When the Von Ohl family moved back to New Jersey, Miss Von Ohl de- elded to keep up the work. When the ‘consignment of green horses reach here every spring she takes a man’s share and quickly begins her task of taming the animals. Speaking of her work, the young wonan says: “I have never read 2 book on horse training in my life. 1 have never talked with other trainers and I have never seen any one except the cowboys on the ranch do any train- Ing. All that I know about It T have [learned from my observation of horses, |and my love and sympathy for them. I have had a great many narrow escapes ‘and wonderful adventures, but I have never been injured by a horse, and ‘more than onee a good horse has been ‘the means of saving my life.” ‘When you encounter a man who tells you that the world is growing wore give bim the sorrowful look and pass on. Let dogs delight to bark and vite, but let not men—it isn’t right. See eter ere ae LIVINGSTON 3 Seovevocsesoooosoooooooes (SEQ, THE BEST SALOONS 15 taviNG- "WM. GRABOW.

The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed and became so tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least exertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disappeared."

When they are not worrying as to whether they sleep too much or too little, they are fidgeting over the amount of food they take or the quantity of exercise necessary for health. In short, they never give themselves a moment's peace." Antidotes for Poison.—Oxalic acid, frequently mistaken for salts—give chalk or magnesia water and soothing drinks. Prussie acid—when there is time—hot water and brandy, hartshorn and turpentine. Corrosive sublimate—give white of eggs, wheat flour and water, or soap and water. Nitrate of silver—strong solution of common salt and an emetic. Arsenic—first, if possible, evacuate the stomach, then give lime water, chalk water and charcoal. Laudanum—strong emetic of mustard and water, strong coffee and acid drinks. Rheumatism.—For rheumatism of the joints or even muscular rheumatism, get a druggist to fix up the following ointment, which will give relief: Bella donna, fifteen grains; salicylic acid, one dram; sodium salicylate, one dram; vaseline, one ounce. These should be carefully rubbed in a mortar until thoroughly mixed. Anoint the affected part sparingly with the ointment and then lay over it a piece of oiled silk or soft paper. In acute cases of rheumatism this application should be made several times a day and parts covered with cotton flannel. In joints occasionally afflicted with rheumatism or in lumbago, the parts should be anointed, thoroughly rubbed in and no covering but the ordinary clothing need be used. DREAM MYSTERY. The Events that May Be Crowded Into a Few Seconds. The duration of a dream is so seldom accurately measured that a story published in the St. Louis Medical Record is worth repeating. The writer, a doctor, was seized with an uncontrollable drowsiness during a call and was struggling to keep awake when he was asked by his companion, "How long may you stay in B.?" His answer, which came promptly enough, was, "That depends on the Western Union," and, catching himself, he explained that he was expecting a telegram. In fact, however, his answer related to the facts of a dream which had been sandwiched between the two parts of the sentence. After hearing the words "How long" the doctor had dozed off, dreamed that after long and tedious experiments he had invented a wonderful apparatus for holding telegraph poles in a vertical position, had negotiated with the postal company for its sale, but unsuccessfully, and had finally gone to the authorities of the other company. They, in the dream, told him they were considering a German invention for the same purpose, and the dreamer crossed the ocean to examine the rival device, returned, explained the differences to the intending purchaser and was writing a reply when he woke in time to hear the end of his companion's question. The events of the dream had apparently consumed months, yet the actual time that elapsed was merely that required for uttering about four short words. Copied His Name. A gentleman traveling in Europe engaged the services of a courier. Arriving at an him in Austria the traveler asked his servant to enter his name in accordance with the police regulations of that country. The man replied that he had already anticipated the order, and registered him as an American gentleman of means. "But how did you write my name?" asked the master, "I can't exactly pronounce it; but I copied it carefully from your portmanteau, sir." "But it is not there," was the reply. "Bring me the book." The register was brought, and revealed, instead of a very plain English name of two syllables, the following portentous entry: "Monsteur Warranted Solid Leather." Bake Your Sausage. Henry Ward Beecher once spoke of the frying pan as "the modern image that fell from heaven that all men are in duty bound to worship." At the risk of dethroning this idol we strongly recommend that sausage be baked in the oven and not fried in the pan. Our selected casings are exceedingly delicate and burst in frying, and the sausages do not present a nice appearance; besides, they are not as well cooked and the flavor is not as good when the sausages are fried. If you want perfect sausages, bake them in the oven. One of the things the average girl cannot explain is why when she announces her engagement the world does not stop going around. Some people have a good time demanding their rights. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON A CHIMNEY-LIKE SKY-SCRAPER. An Eighteen-Story New York Strue- ture on a Lot 39x29 Feet. On the most expensive piece of land in the world a unique skyscraper is being built at No. 1 Wall street, New York City. The architects to whom the building was intrusted had a puzzle presented to them. The plot of ground on which they were to plan was only 39 feet 10 inches deep and 29 feet 10 inches wide, but it had cost $4,400,000, or about $600 a square foot, and it was necessary to place upon this tiny plot a building which would return in rent a fair interest on this vast sum. All these problems made the work of the architects peculiarly difficult. They planned an eighteen-story building, its foundation resting on bed-rock, rising 220 feet above the sidewalk. The architects planned one office for each floor, and in order that these offices might not be spilled by pillars and dividing walls omitted all internal columns, relying upon a steel frame, scientifically braced, to withstand the wind or the earthquake, for all support. This frame will be covered with a skin of stone. It required some ingenuity to utilize every inch of space, but this was essential, for land at $600 a square foot may not be wasted. On each floor are to be toilet rooms for men and women, telegraph, telephone and electric light wires, power, ticker service, messenger and police calls. Each floor is to be rentlated with a specially designed apparatus, which keeps the air pure and cool without opening windows, for in such a building draughts would be inevitable were the widows alone to be relied upon for rentlation. The plot on which this building is to stand is about the most valuable bit of land in the world. The original owner held it for a long time, and many years ago a would-be buyer offered to pave the plot with silver dollars and give them as its price. The owner was at first inclined to accept this offer, but on figuring on it a while said he would not sell for less money than would pave it with gold dollars. This proposition was rejected. Many offers have been made since, but none of them came up to the owner's idea of its value until some St. Louis capitalists, who now own it, made the offer of $4,400,000, which was accepted. So far as can be learned, no other piece of land ever brought so high a price. The total investment will be $5,100,000. Owners of office buildings expect to get 10 per cent a year in rents, which, after paying interest and expenses of management, leaves them only about four per cent. Therefore, these owners must get $510,000 a year for the eleighteen floors, or more than $28,000 a floor. This means that for less than 1,200 square feet of office room a tenant must pay more than $23 a square foot. A Simple Library Paste. Having noticed many recipes for making "library starch" for scrapbooks, etc, I want to give your readers a very simple one, and the very best I have ever heard of. I have several very valuable scrapbooks, smooth, durable and artistic in appearance, and have had much experience with different kinds of paste. Use common laundry starch, prepared by the same process as for laundry use, only very thick. It will keep indefinitely and grows better with age.—Exchange. An End to Romance The groom had asked his rich bride for a million. "Not on your blessed life," she responded blithely, as though this did not mean the sunderling of sacred ties, "but if carfare will do you any good I'll stake you to a nice, long ride." Thus they parted and the public press, issued for the uplifting of the masses, made appropriate chronicle.—Philadelphia Ledger. Poetry vs. Prose. "If you love me, darling, tell me with your eyes."

CHERRY PECTORAL. AN IMPERFECT WORK. After All, There Is No Occasion for Man's Conceit. It is the general idea that man is a wonderful work—a perfect work—but, as Haeckel and comparative anatomy point out, the human body is, as a matter of fact, a structure at once incomplete and redundant; a structure lacking many necessities and crowded with superfultures, with obsolete muscles and nerves, which have become shriveled and paralyzed because there is no longer any use for them. It is amusing to think of improvements that might be made in the human body, writes a pessimist. Take the eyes. The two eyes are very good in their way, but if there were three of them how much better it would be. If man had an eye in the back of his head, as certain insects have, he would never be run down, never be stabbed from behind, never be kicked. Man, with three eyes, could see and do twice as much as now. The hair might well be improved. It is poor stuff alongside of feathers. Look at the beautiful feather headaddresses of the birds. These are far richer and brighter in hue than human hair, and they last. They don't disappear. No one ever saw a bald bird. The ears are not at all perfect. As the eyes are provided with lids, so that we can shut them tight when we want to sleep, so the ears should be provided with movable flaps or stoppers wherewith to shut out sound. If the teeth endured there would be little fault to find with them. But, like the hair, they fall man long before the end of life. Hence it would be better if, like some birds, men had indestructible teeth in their gizzards, and swallowed their food whole, letting the gizzard grind it up gradually. This would not destroy the pleasure of eating. On the contrary, it would increase it. There would be nerves of taste in the gizzard, and thus the eating pleasure would be greatly prolonged. The food would be swallowed in a jiffy, and afterward, as man attended to his work, he would get for many hours pleasant tastes from the dainties the gizzard would be slowly and carefully grinding up. Not Reduced to That. The traveller through a part of New Hampshire where the stones seemed to be especially thick stopped to comment to her driver on a man who was at work in a field the surface of which was little more than a mass of stones of all sizes and shapes. "Yes, Jake's having a hard time of it," said the driver, who apparently knew every one in that region. "He's been at that field now for two years, off'n on. The wall all came out of the ground, as you might say, and you see there's still consid'rable material left to work on." "I should think he'd be perfectly discouraged, poor man, to own such a piece of property," said the traveller. "Oh, he doesn't own it, ma'am, Jake doesn't," said the driver, hastily. "Jake isn't so poor as all that. It belongs to Squire Farnum, and his hired Jake to clear it, that's all." Housekeeping Necessary The roomer in a London lodging house does not need to number the hairs of his head as a precaution against theft, but he needs to keep careful account of everything else, says a writer in Public Opinion. An actor who had discovered his landlady's propensity for taking a portion of everything he bought numbered and listed his things. One night he roused the household by shouting down from his attic a demand for "number eight." "Number eight?" shouted the landlady back. "What number eight?" "I want cube number eight of my lump sugar," he replied. Thenceforth the provisions in his cupboard were unmolested. Accounted For. Mrs. M.'s patience was much tried by a servant who had a habit of standing around with her mouth open. One day, as the maid waited upon table, her mouth was open as usual, and her mistress, giving her a severe look, said: "Mary, your mouth is open." "Yessum," replied Mary, "I opened it." Almost Human. "Why, Antonio," said the horrified matron, who had tossed a 5-cent piece at the monkey, "does he always put a coin in his mouth when he picks it up?" "Not his mout," signora, "corrected the organ grinder. "Her mout." Manchuria is just twice the size of Japan.

An Urgent Call. In the course of a checked career, Wesley Hanson, known as a "promoter," had sojourned temporarily in many places, so it is not strange that he sometimes forgot a face. "Have you any call for a stirring man in the advertising department of your business?" he asked one morning, when he had gained access to the office of the inventor of some tin specialties. The man at the desk looked at him and then dropped his eyes. "No," he said, shortly, "but I can tell you exactly where there's a call for just such a man as you are." "Yes?" said the promoter. "I should be glad to hear of it." "It's up in Banktown, Vermont," said the inventor. "The call comes from the grocer and the provision dealer and the plumber and the livery-stable keeper and several others. They've been calling for you for ten years, ever since." "Ah," said the promoter, "I fear that call is a trifle too loud," and he softly and rapidly withdrew. CAST The Kind You Have Always the nature of Chas. H.

At a colored camp meeting in Carolina a testifying penitent referred to himself and his unconverted brothers as "niggers" in a spirit of abject humility which he deemed well pleasing to his Maker. The presiding elder who "anened" his speech at proper intervals finally threw out a gentle rebuke. "Call yo'sef' a culled pusson, brother," he admonished impressively. "Niggers is a term ob reproach invented by proud white folks. Dey ain't no mention in de Good Book of niggers." "Oh, yes, dey is, parson," the penitent contradicted solemnly.

Cascarets do this naturally, without purging or discomfort. They don't help the Bowels and Liver in such a way as to make them lean upon similar assistance for the future. This is why, with Cascarets, the dose may be lessened each succeeding time instead of increased, as it must be with all succeeding doses of other Cathartics and Laxatives. Cascarets act like exercise.
