The Professional World

THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. $1.50 Per Year in Advance. The summer school of Lincoln Institute closed its first session Saturday, and in company with Prof. Garnett, conductor of the summer school, the teachers and those in attendance visited the Capitol, the different departments of state, the grounds, the armory and penitentiary, and wound up with an outing to Berry Springs Saturday afternoon. The verdict of all was, that the summer school was a decided success, and all express themselves as highly pleased with the results. The total enrollment was 30. The following resolutions were adopted. We, the teachers in attendance upon Lincoln Institute Summer School assembled August 2, 1902, at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., deem it fitting that we express our appreciation for the benefits which we have derived from our attendance of the Summer School. Resolved, First, that we extend our hearty thanks to Hon. W. T. Carrington, State Superintendent of public schools for his efforts to establish the Summer School at Lincoln Institute and for his interest in and encouragement of the same. Second, That we extend our sincere thanks to Prof. E. A. Clark for his zeal and work in assisting to establish and to organize the summer school at Lincoln Institute. Third, That we heartily thank Prof. J. H. Garnett for opening so nobly and efficiently conducting the same, and for his masterly instruction; and to Professors G. S. Murry and A. L. Reynolds for their splendid instruction. Fourth, That we extend our thanks to President B. F. Allen, and Professors Mebane, McCall, and Rutledge for their valuable talks on Pedagogy and other topics of educational interest. Fifth, That we thank the Board of Regents for the use of the buildings, library, laboratory, etc., which have added much to our success and comfort. Sixth, That we thank the local papers and press for the generous manner in which they have published the work of this Summer School. Recommendations: Whereas, the colored schools of the state should keep in touch with the tide of school-work throughout the country, and believing that the Summer School will aid materially to that end and further our advancement; We recommend, that the next General Assembly be asked for an appropriation sufficient to put the Summer School at Lineoln Institute on a permanent basis. We further recommend, that the colored teachers of the state as far as possible make strenuous efforts and sacrifice to attend the annual sessions of the L. I. Summer School. That, we also most heartily thank the good people of Jefferson City for their courtesy and hospitality shown us during our stay here. Committee: Prof. I. J. Hicks, chairman, Mexico, Mo.; Miss Mary F.

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 Co., 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 one 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 cavalry in Cuba.—Florida Sentinel. GOOD MORALS AND GENTLE MANNERS. J. W. Gibbens, Galena, Mo. How secured. I regard that instruction which does not include moral training and the teaching gentle manners as lacking in one of the most essential elements, and I therefore take considerable pains with this branch of education. I do not favor the plan of lecturing the scholars in this connection, but I try to get the pupils to see the right path and to take it voluntarily. If, in any lesson, we come across a meritorious character, I call the attention of the scholars to that person and try to awaken a desire in their heart to be like him. In the same way I call their attention to the ignoble persons we come across, and try to create such an aversion to these characters that they will not be desirous of emulating their example. I also ask my pupils questions about certain acts as they occur, as to whether they are right or wrong. I do not force my opinion on them but try to have them come to a correct decision of their own accord. Gentle manners are better taught by example than by precept. I try to treat my scholars with as much politeness and consideration as I do any one. I use the expressions "please," "thank you," etc., in my intercourse with the children and I find that the most of them will follow the example without any direct teaching on my part. Whenever I detect a pupil who is guilty of rudeness, I question it as to the propriety of such action. I try to make it ashmed of what it had done and then require it to ask the pardon of the aggrieved person, and I can see some improvement among my scholars in their daily intercourse with each other.—Missouri School Journal. Corn That is Corn. Dick Rogers, who had 60 corn on Hail Wright's farm lost 20 acres by overflow, the was benefitted by the loss, would not have finished gra his crop this winter. John I 2 miles north of Columbia is p up his corn to keep it from on the ground—so he says. The Gasoline Explode. While Whittle Martin, old, was drawing gasoline barrel in the rear of his father on Ninth St. Saturday night lighted lantern near, an e took place which came near DEATH FROM TRIMMING A CORN. Fort Worth, Tex., August 1. Benjamin Wilbush, a prominent druggist of Houston, died this evening with many peculiar circumstances marking his last hours. Last evening he was married to Mrs. L. E. Bryan as he lay on his deathbed. Some days ago he suffered amputation of the left leg and then made a will, leaving most of his estate to Mrs. Bryan. Objections were made by relatives to the provisions of the instrument and it was finally settled that the marriage should follow, that the lady might inherit his property, valued at $60,000. The trimming of a corn was originally responsible for his death. Blood-poisoning set in and amputation resulted, but failed to give relief. A GOOD BLACK LIST Henry Clews, the great financier and capitalist, has prepared the following black list, and says: I have had throughout my business career points on the kind of man to be avoided. Who lies. Who betrays confidence. He who vilifies his benefactor. Who is honest for policy's sake. Who looks down upon those who do work. Who never has a good word for anybody. Who unjustly accuses others of bad deeds. Who, when he drinks, always drinks alone. Who boasts of the superiority of his family. Who is always prating about his own virtues. Who deceives his wife and then boasts of it to others. Who imputes bad motive to those who try to do good. Who gets intoxicated in public places—or anywhere else. Who runs in debt with no apparent intention of repaying. Who borrows small sums on his note or check dated ahead. Money for Street Improvement. From the Ashland Bugle.—It has been suggested that the town of Ashland take out saloon license, place it in the hands of a careful, level headed manager, the entire profits from the concern to be expended on streets and sidewalks. It is estimated that a saloon would supply a revenue exceeding $1000 per year. Columbians Return from Abroad. Walter Williams and J. H. Moss arrived in St. Louis Tuesday from their Oriental trip of 5 months, during which time they visited Palseetine and Continental Europe. They reached Columbia Tuesday. A committee of newspaper men met Mr. Williams in St. Louis and prepared a banquet in his honor. W. R. Painter of Carrollton acted as actmaster. Other talks were made. Gov. Francis declared he wanted Mr. Williams to return to the foreign field in the interest of the World's Fair. This, he said, in view of the excellent work done by him for the fair while abroad. Talks were made by John W. Jacks of the Montgomery Standard, W. D. Thomas of the Fulton Sun, H. F. Childers of the Troy Free Press, John A. Knott of the Hannibal Journal. Mr. Williams responded with a humorous narrative of his trip, closing with a sentimental expression of his appreciation for the honor shown him and his delight at being home again among those whom he loves. Corn That is Corn. Dick Rogers, who had 60 acres of corn on Hail Wright's farm, and lost 20 acres by overflow, thinks he was benefitted by the loss, since he would not have finished gathering his crop this winter. John Prowell, 2 miles north of Columbia is propping up his corn to keep it from rotting on the ground—so he says. The Gasoline Exploded. While Whittle Martin, 15 years old, was drawing gasoline from a barrel in the rear of his father's store on Ninth St. Saturday night with a lighted lantern near, an explosion took place which came near causing a serious fire and the death of the young man. The fire department was called out, but the flames were extinguished before the firemen arrived. Besides some damage to the contents of the room, the young man, son of C. W. Martin, had his clothes, hands and face badly burned. People who handle gasoline should remember it is dangerous even when handled carefully. There should be an ordinance making it a misdemeanor to handle gasoline by artificial light, because of its inflammable nature. Building in Columbia. With I. T. Shockley, architect and B. F.

Sterling Parmer, who has threshed 1000 bushels this season, besides more than 20,000 bushels of wheat, and 30 acres of rye. The rye belonged to Cyrus Henderson. Some fine crops of wheat he has threshed were those of Scott Bros.; 2000 bushels, averaging 35 bushels; Henry Schotte, 864 sacks from 60 acres, and Henry Thee 293 sacks from 27 acres; M. P. Boldin, 346 sacks from 36 acres. A bushel by measure weighs up considerably more than that.

Take the case of Mr. McGee, near Orrick. He raised 200 acres of potatoes. He began digging last week, and from seven acres got five car loads, or 2,500 bushels, an average of 357 bushels an acre. He thinks his entire crop will turn out at least as well. He expects to be able to sell it for 30 cents a bushel. If he does, each acre will yield $106.10. His expenses per acre he estimates at $43.39. Subtract this from $106.10, and you have $63.71—the amount he expects to clear acre. On this basis he will net on his entire crop $12,742. Against the Cigarette. From the Saline County Index. The Index recently allowed a young man to seek another job. One of the reasons was the fact that he smoked cigarettes. The Index is not more strict in its demands in this line than a great many business men of today. Young man, if you are addicted to this habit you had better quit before you lose your position. You may not know it but it is a fact that many firms had just as soon employ a "whiskey soak" as a "cigarette fiend," and the sooner all young men who are given to "playing" with either of these dangerous things recognize this fact, the better for them.

Waite, Thoburn & Co. of Chicago Secure Three More Injunctions to Prevent Settlements. Chicago, Aug. 6.—Injunctions were secured today from Judge Chytraus by Waite, Thoburn & Co., grain commission men, against three other board of trade firms to prevent settlements on the July oats deal. President Warren was restrained from endorsing down margins to the firms who bought July oats of complainants to the extent of $20,000. The Bank of Montreal was also enjoined from paying over margins. To date, 34 injunctions have been issued by Judges Chytraus and Chetlain as an outcome of the charge by this firm that leading bulls were engineering a corner in July oats. This action was precipitated by earlier action on the part of the board of trade committee, which ordered settlements made by a number of unfortunate shorts in July operations. The firm of Waite & Thoburn were suspended from the board of trade by the directors this afternoon. Complaint was made by Harris Gates & Co., that an indebtedness of $36,000 incurred during the recent corner in corn, had been unsatisfied. Thoburn asked the directors for more time in which to make settlement but the request was denied. Concerning the action on the board Thoburn said: "The suspension will make no difference in our figures to the courts to prove the illegality of corners. We believe that as a result of our action there will never be another corner attempted on the Chicago board of trade." SITUATION AT SHENANDOAH Still an Unsettled Feeling Existing There — Military Officers Feel Tension is Increasing. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 6.—The peace of this troop-protected town remains unbroken. An unsettled feeling apparent the last few days, however, continues. It was a lively day at brigade headquarters where staff officers were kept busy in connection with the movements of troops and in keeping in touch with the situation. There were many rumors of trouble, but excepting at Girardville, where a workman was shot and slightly injured, nothing of a serious nature occurred anywhere. Officers around headquarters feel the tension is increasing and would not be surprised if some troops were sent into the surrounding region. Probably the most important development was the arrest and commitment to jail of two wounded Lithuanians who participated in the riot of last week. The arrest was attended with a considerable show of military force, they being taken into custody by constables who were surrounded by a platoon of infantrymen and were taken through the streets under a strong guard. Hartman Breuil, a coal and iron policeman at one of the Lehigh Valley company's collieries, was arrested charged with threatening to kill Peter Remis. Remis charges he was unwillingly taken to the colliery and that when he wanted to leave he was threatened by Breuil. At Girardville, six miles east of here, an Italian on his way from work at the Girard washery this morning, was attacked by a dozen unknown men who began beating him. The Italian ran and some one fired, wounding him in the leg. Burgess is investigating the assault. Judge Patton of Armstrong county has continued as permanent the preliminary injunction granted by Judge Wallace of Lawrence county against William Little and others, representing the United Mine Workers of America and the Monongahela and Carnegie brass bands, restraining them from parading the streets of Leechburg for the purpose of intimidating miners. Three Collieries in Operation Scranton, Pa., Aug. 6.—The Dickson colliery of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad company in Green Ridge resumed operations today with returned strikers.

This makes three collieries now in operation in this city. Wilkesbarre, Aug. 6.—No attempt was made to start collieries today. Strikers had pickets in the vicinity of nearly every colliery to watch proceedings. Non-Union Men Stoned. Colorado Springs, Col., Aug. 6.—The first acts of violence in connection with the strike of the velvet weavers employed at the Cheney Bros.' mill took place today. Henry Leister, a nonunion man, accompanied by a guard consisting of four members of the firm, while on his way to work was attacked by 150 strikers. He was knocked down by a large stone and is reported to have been severely injured. No one else was injured. Not a Wheel Being Turned. Ironton, O. Aug. 6—Not a wheel is turning on the Ironton division of the Cambria Interstate railway line this morning. A telegram from William Jacobs of the national association, now at Huntington, ordered all cars kept in the barns. The order was obeyed unanimously and the strikers are operating cabs to accommodate the public. The local officers of the company state that it will not attempt to operate cars in Ironton until the difficulty across the river is settled. All is quiet here. One car with Sheriff Haney shoed passed through Ashland, Kv. at 8:15 a.m. before a sufficient number of sympathizers assembled to stop it, but if traffic is resumed there serious trouble is expected. A Dispute Decided. Scranton, Aug. 6.—The board of arbitration, which included among its members President Mitchell, today decided a dispute between the Scranton Railway company and its union employees. The decision favors the men, but makes the ruling that none of the union employees who came to work during the strike and who were retained by the company shall be disturbed. Both sides agreed to abide by the decision of the board. EVIDENCE ON BABY FARM. EVIDENCE ON BABY FARM. POLICE FIND SOME FACTS IN CASE OF MRS. CAMPBELL. Baby Whose Death She is Accused of Causing Found to Have Fractured Skull — Prisoner Tells Story of Life and Claims Girl, Viola, Who Makes the Charges, as Her Daughter — Father Said to be a Printer. Chicago, Aug. 6.—Investigation of the death of the infant which was found in the Grand avenue home of Mrs. Nell Campbell on Friday developed evidence, which Coroner Traeger thinks may strengthen the murder charge and also throws light on the parentage of the girl, Viola, who charges her supposed mother with having kidnapped her from a wealthy father in Cincinnati. One discovery made yesterday was that the infant, besides starving, had suffered from a fracture of the skull, which Dr. E. P. Noel of the coroner's office says might have produced death. This fact was not brought up when Mrs. Campbell was arranged at the West Chicago avenue police court on a charge of murder, but the hearing was continued for further investigation of the charges of baby farming. The fracture in the skull was discovered by Dr. Noel. "How it was caused I cannot tell," said Dr. Noel. "It may have been done at birth, or at any time since then. It may have resulted from a fall or a blow." Mrs. Campbell claims that the child met with no injury or violence after it came into her possession, when it was two weeks old. In the morning when Mrs. Campbell was taken to the West Chicago avenue police station, she told Inspector Wheeler the story of her life. She said Viola was her own child, but that a Cincinnati printer named John Reed was the girl's father. "My mother died when we were in Italy," said Mrs. Campbell, "and father brought me to this country. I went to live with an uncle, Hiram Jattona, at Lily Chapel. O. Later my uncle adopted me, but my father sent money for my education, and I learned to paint and to sew. When I was 14 years old I went to Cincinnati, and lived with my uncle, Rocco Jattona, at Sixth and Race streets. I taught painting. There I met Reed. Later I was sent back to Lily Chapel, and thence to Big Plains, where Viola was born June 25, 1889. "Viola was a year old when I married Pedro Blanco, a Snailand. He was a salesman for a Key West cigar factory and was well to do. Three children were born. Pedro was the oldest, then Theresa and then Madeline. Madeline died when she was a few days old, and Theresa died Aug. 28, 1895, when she was six months old. In 1896 Mr. Blanco died in St. Louis June 27, and on Aug. 5 of the same year my son, Pedro, died at 193 Adams street, Chicago. "I married Mr. Campbell in 1898, and we have had three children. The oldest died before it was baptized, and is the one Viola refers to as Nellie. Ruth died when she was three weeks old on May 14, 1900, and Frank died July 12, 1901. After that I adopted twin girls, I called them Indella and Esther. I secured them from a woman doctor; Mrs. Hedrichs in Carroll avenue. Esther died Aug. 28, 1901, when she was two weeks old, and Indella was with me when the police took her to St. Vincent Orphan asylum. "Louise, the child that died last week, I got from Mrs. Deitrich, a physician in Wells street, to take the place of the deceased child of Mrs. John Brazellie, my adopted sister, but my sister died, and I kept it. It was weak and ill when I got it, and the doctor said it had not developed right and could not live. Then when it died he refused me a certificate, and got me into all this trouble." The police claim to have found evidence to dispute the woman's story of her children. A Mrs. Becker, who lives in West Van Buren street, is said to have told the police that she gave Mrs. Campbell the children, Theresa and Madeline. Other women are said to have admitted giving her children. A telegram to the Tribune last evening from Cincinnati stated that no John Reed, a printer, was known to printers there. DES MOINES MAN MURDERED. Isaac Finkelstein the Victim of an Assault While on His Way Des Moines, Ia., Aug. 6. —Isaac Finkelstein, whose crusade against public gambling closed eight houses in Des Moines two weeks ago, was murdered tonight. He was on his way home when a man stepped out of the shadow of an alley and struck him over the head with a singletree. Finkelstein fell to the ground. Four men less than a block away saw him fall and ran to assist him. He was dead when they arrived, his skull having been crushed. Beyond a bloody singletree, which was left beside the victim, the only clue to the murderer is the report that shortly after the time of the murder one unrecognized man was overheard to say to another, "I killed the ____." and at another time one man was heard to tell another, "Keep your mouth shut." The murder is supposed to have resulted from Finkelstein's action in prosecuting gamblers. He did not object to public gambling but wanted the city to receive a revenue from it, he said, and when the police did not raid the houses he filed complaints with the sheriff. Resultant raids proved so expensive the gamblers closed their places. PROPOSED MINING COMBINE. An Eastern Syndicate Trying to Purchase Coal Mines in Illinois and Unite Management. Springfield, Ill., Aug. 6.—Fred Jackson of Philadelphia, representing himself and an Eastern syndicate, is trying to purchase coal mines in Sangamon Christian and Menard counties and unite them under one management. A prominent operator said tonight that Jackson would succeed in securing the mines. SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES. Discussed by Bishop McFaul of Trenton, N. J., at Chicago—Friars and School Question. Chicago, Aug. 6.—The American Federation of Catholic societies met today. In the afternoon, after addresses of welcome by Dr. H. S. Taylor in behalf of Mayor Harrison and M. F. Girten in behalf of the Catholic societies of the city, the convention went into executive session and organized. Short addresses were made by Bishops Messmer of Green Bay, Wis., McFaul of Trenton, N. J., and by the president of the federation. It was evident from the tenor of the remarks that the convention would regard the manifesto of Archbishop as warning them against discussion of the administration's methods in the Philippines. The evening meeting Bishop McFaul was the principal speaker and directed his attention to the treatment of the friars and the school question in the Philippines. The bishop said that "the calm, intelligent observer must admit some statements in the press regarding the situation in the Philippines were either incorrect or exaggerated." At the same time he thought there was substantial foundation for most of the reports which justified strictures on those "accountable for abuse of power." More denials, he said, are not conclusive. Reports of desecration and looting of Catholic churches were at first denied by high army officers, yet proof was so certain that "claims for damages to ecclesiastical property will be accepted by the government." "The perpetration of other outrages," the bishop continued, "were denied, but no one now questions the truth of the reports. The introduction of a public school system was just cause for alarm," said the speaker. He said, too, the federation is deeply interested in obtaining "just treatment for the friars." Bishop McFaul charged that, in selecting teachers, discrimination was practiced against Catholics, because of a total of 967 teachers who, he said, had been sent to the islands but 18 or 19 were Catholics. He denied the Filipinos were ignorant people and said they were "unaware of many vices of civilization until American soldiers occupied their soil." Preceding the address of Bishop McFaul, a short sneech was made by Bishop Muldoon, Chicago, who was chosen chairman of the meeting, M. P. Mooney of Cleveland, O., chairman of the executive board and Nicholas Gonner, Dubuque, Iowa, president of the German Catholic societies, spoke briefly. All speakers outlined the purposes of the federation. SITUATION IN MINING REGION. Funeral of Victim of Wednesday's Riot—No Indications of Work Being Resumed. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 5.—The funeral of Joseph Beddall, fatally wounded in Wednesday's riot, occurred today. Owing to rumors of trouble likely during the funeral, the troops made necessary preparations. Crowds lined the streets, but there were no disturbances of any kind. A company of soldiers is on duty at Indian Ridge colliery, Philadelphia & Reading Coal & iron company, near the foreign quarters, so that a constable could be assisted in case he was attacked while making arrests of persons who were in last week's riot. The services of the soldiers were not needed. Rumors of resumption of work in this territory are still in circulation, but there is nothing to indicate these reports have any foundation whatever. No notice of resumption has been given by the mine inspector, as the law provides Applying for Relief Shamokin. Aug. 5.—Hundreds of miners applied for relief today. It was given only to those in good standing in the union. Other were refused and now threaten to go to work. No Resumption of Work Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 5.—There was no resumption of mining in the strike region today, and there is rejoicing at headquarters. The only information given out by the operators is that when they get ready to resume, they will do so. Strikers are apprehensive some coal companies will spring a surprise some morning, and they will have a colliery in operation before the strikers know it. To prevent such a surprise the strikers are watching the collieries closely and also the movements of the men who go in and out of the works. Strike at Pullman Chicago, Aug. 5.—Nearly 700 blacksmiths and helpers at Pullman struck today for an increase of wages. Others threaten to go out, and may be followed by a general strike involving 4,000 men. REPORTS OF FIGHTING DIFFER. Dispatch Received at Washington Contradicts News From Panama —Revolutionists Flee. Washington, Aug. 5.—A dispatch dated today received at the Colombian legation tonight from Governor Salazar, Panama, reports fighting between government troops and revolutionists at Aqua Dulce still continues. The battle has now raged since last Tuesday. Revolutionists on the Run. Panama, Aug. 5.—Telegraphic communication with San Carlos was re-established this afternoon and at 5 p. m. General Salazar received a telegram from San Carlos saying some revolutionary officers belonging to General Herrera's forces had passed that town in flight. They reported the defeat of the revolutionists at Agua Dulce. This news has not been confirmed and further information is awaited. The United States cruiser Ranger is reported to have gone to Agua Dulce to bring the wounded back to Panama. The government gunboat Boyaca, for which the Ranger is looking, left here last Tuesday with 300 men for General Berti, near Agua Dulce. She was attacked by the revolutionary fleet and obliged to retreat. Since that time nothing has been heard from her, but she is believed to have escaped. ASK CATHOLICS TO HALT IRELAND SAYS FRIARS' QUESTION IS DANGEROUS. Congress of Federated Societies is Warned That Attacks on President Roosevelt and the American Government's Program in the Philippines are Not Sanctioned by the Pope or by Church Authorities. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 4.—Archbishop Ireland yesterday denounced the efforts of an element in the Catholic church to impugn the good faith of President Roosevelt and Govenor Taft in dealing with the church question in the Philippines. the archbishop's sermon was a pointed warning to the congress of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, which meets in Chicago on Tuesday, to keep hans off the friars question. Without openly referring to the Chicago convention, he denounced what he called "the fiery zeal in defense of Catholic interests which seems to be coveting an explosion at the present time among certain classes of American Catholics." He continued: "The interests of the church, it is said, are made to suffer at the hands of the government in its newly acquired dependencies, and the call to arms is sounded from the rostrums of Catholic societies and through the columns of Catholic papers, to the perturbation of the whole Catholic body and, indeed, of the whole country." Archbishop Ireland in plain, vigorous language denounced these charges as false. He asserted that the American government is not the enemy of the Catholic church in the new colonies. "It has been dinned into our ears that the church is being robbed in both of those islands," said the archbishop, referring to Porto Rico and Cuba. In reply he continued: "Bishop Blencok of Porto Rico openly rejoices that the American flag rather than the Spanish guards his diocese; and the hierarchy in Cuba are thankking God that church interests there were settled by the government of Washington before a Cuban parliament was allowed to sit down in Havana." Continuing in even more vigorous language the archbishop said: "Let justice be done to America; in no other country is there a government so fair minded, so impartial, so willing to treat all classes of citizens with absolute justice, as that with which we are blessed in America. “And let Catholics be careful lest by imprudent agitation and repeated mistrust of the government, of America they instil into the minds of many of their fellow-citizens the notion that as Catholics they are disposed to form themselves into a people apart, ever dissatisfied with America and its institutions, ever ready to complain, ever anxious to find a plea upon which to rest their murmurings. “The Catholic body will never prosper in America unless it be thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the country and with the deep love for its welfare. To be one with the country is the lesson which Pope Leo is ceaselessly teaching Catholics in every country; it is the lesson which I am confident he would wish Catholics in America to take to heart, and to practice, even were there in so doing some sacrifice to be made. “As to matters in the Philippine islands, we cannot discuss them. They are for the time being put beyond our reach, since they are the subject of negotiations between the government of America and the sovereign pontiff. "To take at the present such matters into our own hands would be to mistrust the wisdom and the good will of the sovereign pontiff, and of this loyal Catholics should not be capable; it would be to treat with discourteous ingratitude the administration in Washington, and this, as true Americans, Catholics will not permit themselves to do. "The logic of the situation, in presence of strange complications for church and state arising from a change of sovereignty in the Philippine islands, pointed to a mutual conference between the head of the church and a representative of the state as the proper and dignified way to a final and peaceful solution. "Leo XIII. saw this; Theodore Roosevelt saw this. Leo took the initiative, proposed the conference, and asked the government to expose frankly and thoroughly its views; the president and his advisers accepted the proposal. "What more could have been done by the administration to prove its good will and sense of justice? "If the administration had refused to send a representative to Rome, verily what clamorings there would have been, and now when it has sent a representative to Rome and agrees to the further proposal of the vatican to transfer negotiations to Manila clamorings are still raised. "Well, some people are born to clamor; and privilege to clamor must be allowed to them. Be it so; but we shall insist that they clamor in their own name and not in the name of the church in America, and for our own part we shall hold our souls in peace, leaving church interests in the Philippines, to one who understands them at least as well as we do, and who will be as wise in disposing of them as we could well hope to be—Leo XIII." Archbishop Ireland's sermon was called out by the disposition to raise the issues he denounces at the national congress of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, which meets at Chicago this week. The archbishop made his meaning perfectly clear and he warned the societies that they were going too far. He said: "Societies of Catholics are organized for purposes of their own, usually with an intent to secure special aid or comfort to such as are members thereof. Restricted to those purposes they are within their sphere and are entitled to respect. To venture beyond those purposes and assume general direction of the church is quite another thing. "It must be remembered there are hundreds of thousands of good and influential Catholic laymen, members of no mutual benevolent society, who have commissioned no society to speak for them. It must, too, be remembered that soldiers of the church, as soldiers of an army of whatsoever kind, whether singly or whether in companies or regiments, must await the action of the commanders before they undertake to act for the whole organization." PROPOSITION NOT ACCEPTED. Tin Workers Refuse a Cut—Result of Vote Which Has Been in Progress for Weeks. Pittsburg. Aug. 5.—The proposition of the American Tin Plate company to employees, that they accept a reduction of wages of 25 per cent has been rejected. A vote in progress for several weeks was tabulated today with the above result. Another conference between the company and Amalgamated Association officials has been arranged for and will probably be held in New York within two weeks. The proposition is thoroughly understood by the workers, it having been explained that in order to secure foreign trade of about 1,500,000 boxes the general wage reduction would not be more than 3 1-2 per cent and production would be increased fully 16 1-2 per cent, which would increase the earnings of the workers about 12 1-2 per cent. It is explained that while the majority of the men would work at a slight reduction in order to secure more employment, most of them are Welchmen and are friendly to fellow workmen across the ocean. If the proposition had been accepted the tin plate workers in Wales would be deprived of employment. This fact influenced many to vote against accepting the offer. The American Tin Plate company will be unable to secure this increased business and, as stocks are large, it is forced to close a number of its plants. The Shenango works at Newcastle, the largest in the world, has been shut down indefinitely and several in Indiana have closed. Two at New Kensington are also idle. All the non-union plants of the company are in full operation. ILLINOIS IS FOR ROOSEVELT. George W. Hinman of Chicago Discussed Politics at Oyster Bay and Made the Above Assertion Oyster Bay, Aug. 2. 2—George W. Hinman, Chicago, was one of the president's luncheon guests today. He had a long talk with the president about the political situation in Illinois. He assured Roosevelt that, barring unforeseen contingency, Illinois in 1904 would send to the national convention a solid delegation to support his candidacy. MARKET REPORTS. Chicago Grain.

As Told at Martin's. BY BEATRIZ BELLIDO DE LUNA. Copyright, 1901, by Authors' Syndicate. HE night was warm, and the drinks refreshing to our dusty mouths. Watters passed noiselessly to and fro, bearing trays laden with tall glasses, the electric fans overhead buzzed with a giddy wlrr, and there was a dancer on the HE night was warm, and the drinks refreshing to our dusty mouths. Watters passed noiselessly to and fro, bearing trays laden with tall glasses, the electric fans overhead buzzed with a giddy wlrr, and there was a dancer on the stage who was good to look upon. Al-together, Martin's was a much more pleasant place to be than in the sultry atmosphere outside. "That girl," said Brown, slowly, eyeing the dancer through curling clouds of smoke, as she snapped her castenets, and twisted her lithe figure in the rhythmic measures of a Spanish air, "reminds me of a woman I knew in Cuba." "Is it a story, Brown?" questioned Lester. "Well, rather," our friend replied, emphatically, "Like to hear it?" We assented eagerly, for Brown's stories were usually worth listening to. "As I said before," he began, "it was in Cuba. I was there for the paper, just before the Spanish-American war broke out, and I saw the conflict through. Most of the time, after hostilities were declared, I was all over the island, wherever the fighting was, but at first I was quartered at Havana, and it was there that I knew Antonia. "She had come from Paris and was dancing at the Tacon theater. The city was mad over her, after the fashion of the Latin race, and, in fact, she made even my phlegmatic Anglo-Saxon blood run quicker than its wont. She was hardly beautiful, though I have never seen such eyes before, or since. She had a small wicked face, was slender almost to thinness, and not very tall. But to see her dance! I am sure no one has equalled her. Every motion was daring, poetical, and possessed the very essence of grace. She was absolutely mistress of her art, and of her audiences. "I don't know what she was, but mostly Spanish blood, although some said she had a strain of French—some said Arabian, and some even hinted at the African, but whatever her nationality, her magnetism was marvelous. "The gallants flew wildly at her feet. She was looked upon with horror by the church, although it was said—but never mind that. She tantalized her lovers, laughed at them, jilted them, yet chained them to her. Among her most constant admirers was General Ruiz, of the Spanish army. He seemed to be more favored than the others, but was insanely jealous, in fact bereft of all reason. "Political matters were very much strained—feeling between Spaniards and the Cubans had reached its highest pitch. Not a day passed without a duel, or a quarrel, or an arrest. Yet in spite of this, Antonina danced every night to a crowded house, and the pleasure loving city, although honey-combed by plots and intrigues, forgot, for the moment, all save the moment's enjoyment." "The man most dreaded by the Spanish officials was one Juan Sanchez, an insurgent leader. He was the son of a wealthy planter who had figured prominently in a former outbreak, and had been exiled to Centa, Spain's penal colony in Africa. The son, growing to manhood and finding himself an outcast, embraced the rebel cause and had made himself troublesome. He had gathered his recruits from neighboring provinces, and lived in the mountains, evading every effort of the government to capture him. "I do not know how it came about, but Ruiz evolved the idea of effecting his capture through Antonina. The general possessed a diamond of enormous value, a family jewel, and this he promised to the woman if she would lure the outlaw to her house. Antonina had long coveted the stone, and had tried every one of her wiles to obtain it, so it can be understood that she readily promised to attend the task "It might be thought that this was a most difficult undertaking, but Ruiz had his spies everywhere, and Antonina her willing slaves. One night, when Sanchez was in the city on a secret mission, he was taken to the theater, by one of his own friends, to see Antonina dance; was introduced to her after the performance, and, like all the others, fell under her spell. To a man of his character no half-way method was possible. She dismissed the other of her admirers, and rumor soon spread that Sanchez rode in every night and openly visited her at her house. "This was what Ruiz was waiting for, and one evening the place was surrounded and Sanchez taken prisoner. He was, of course, sentenced to be shot. "Antonina, apparently, thought no more of the matter. She appeared at the theater on the following evening, and had never been more charming. The story of her share in the rebel's capture got about, and she was cheered whenever she was seen by the loyallists. Ruiz was more infatuated than ever, and was more than helpless in her hands. "The day that Sanchez was to be executed Antonina demanded of Ruix that he should gain permission for her to see her former lover alone. It was known that she gave for this seemingly strange request, but, at any rate, it was granted her. What took place at the interview was never disclosed. Immediately after it was over Sanchez was marched into the courtyard, placed with his face to the wall and shot to death. He met his fate with gallant indifference. "Antonina watched him die, from one of the windows, without a sign of emotion, save a narrowing of the eyelids and a slight compression of the lips. She danced that night, but cancelled her engagement for the following week, saying she was going to leave the city for a rest. "A few days later I happened to be in one of the shabbiest parts of town, and there met a woman whose resemblance to the danver was so striking that I turned and looked after her as she passed me. She went into a miserable looking hovel and, as I loitered near, hoping to solve the mystery, she came out again, and walked swiftly by me. This time I was convinced that it was Antonina. Much puzzled at her "The salas were crowded with a brilliant assembly. Scores of beautiful women, and the handsome Spanish officers in their showy uniforms, mingled with the more sober dress of our country, gave a most picturesque effect to the scene. It was nearly midnight when the dancer arrived. She had driven directly from the theater, and was attired in a most magnificent costume, while on her breast glittered the Ruiz diamond. As she came into the ballroom, she was greeted with braves and was showered with flowers. She paused a moment on the threshold, and responded with a faint, half mocking smile. Then slowly raising her arms, she stepped forward. Instantly the orchestra struck up with the passionate music of El Sol, and the guests drew away from the center of the room, leaving her standing in a blaze of color and jewels—alone on the polished floor. "I will not attempt to describe the dance. We watched her with deep drawn breaths, and dizzy brains, as she whirled herself from the lazy languor of the beginning to the mad abandon at the end. Ruiz, unable to contain his emotions, caught up a flower that had dropped from her hair, and, unmindful of observers, kissed it. She saw the action, and with a sidelong glance tore the scarlet scarf from her waist, and, still dancing, threw it over his neck. Something gleamed in her hand, and some instinct warned me of mischief. I stepped to Ruiz's side. Antonia stretched out her hand, and held me back, and if ever I saw the devil look out from a woman's eyes, I saw it shining then between her self closed lips. "'Adios, companeros,' she said. In clear, ringing tones, 'I go to wait for you in hell.' "With a swift motion she buried the dagger, which had been concealed in her hand, in her heart, and as the last strains of the music died away she fell appearance in such a place, I followed her, but soon she disappeared down a narrow side street, and being unfamiliar with that part of the town, I lost track of her. "Next day I was called away from the city, and when I returned I found the social world in a state of expectation ever a grand reception to be given by General Ruiz in honor of some of the American officers. The chief attraction was the announcement that Antonia had been engaged to dance for the entertainment of the guests. I determined to accept my invitation, as the woman possessed a great attraction for me. I was present at the reception, to the floor, the wicked smile frozen on her mouth. "Three weeks later, General Ruiz and every one of his subordinate officers died of the most malignant kind of smallpox. Antoniaна had searched until she had found a case, as we afterward discovered—had exposed Sanchez's sword belt to the infection, and thus carried the infection to Ruiz, gaining a vengeance which few brains could understand. Which few brains could whose life she had sold for a jewel." "Why did she take her life?" questioned Lester. "That," answered Brown, "was a phase of her character which I found had to understand, though I believe that she preferred death to the loss of her charms, and knew that she surely must have had the dread disease herself. To me the most wonderful thing about her was that she could love so intensely, and never by word or sign betray herself, even when she say him die, and knew that she was responsible for his death. That is something I have never seen in any other woman, and gave evidence of a will that could have moved empires, had it not spent all its energy on one man." GREAT SCHEME DIED WITH HIM The Ship Railway Project at Tehuantepea. Denver Times: "But for the death of Eads, the great engineer, who planned and was in processing of executing at the time of his sudden demise his wonderful ship railway project at the isthmus of Tehuantepec, in Mexico, there would have been no Panama canal" said C. H. Merrill, a mining engineer, at the American, who has just returned from that part of Mexico. "It was Eads' scheme to have vessels navigate the river Cordova as far as possible and then by means of a dry dock of his own invention have them picked up and taken on railway carriages across the isthmus to Salina Cruz and thence by water again into the Pacific. It was a very feasible scheme, but the sudden death of the engineer precluded the possibility of carrying it on for he had inventions that would have been applied to the enterprise that he did not explain to any one and thus the loss was lost forever. He is regarded by the people famous Mississippi jetties at New Orleans, which stand today as a monument to his great brain and pluck. There are thousands of Americans now profitably engaged on the sugar, coffee, rubber and cocoa plantations in the Mexican isthmus, which, you know, is a tropical country, and one of the most fertile on earth. All of them are doing well. I never saw such prosperity anywhere. The nearest large city is Mintailan, where the marketing is done. The greatest railway enterprise now under way down there is what is called Mason's line. It runs from Cordova to Tehuantepec, a distance of 1,000 miles, and almost spans the isthmus. I am doing some mining farther north and am here to look after my mines at Twin Lakes in Lake county. I will be here about two months, but will return to Mexico, as I am convinced that there is the place to get what we are all after. We are doing very well at Twin Lakes, how ever, and are spending some money over there. It looks good; so does Colorado generally." As many as 7,287 men have been elected to the national house since the American congress began. The number does not include those who have occupied seats and been thrown out on contest. LIGHTING DARK CONTINENT. An Electric Power Plant to be Shipped Into the Heart of Africa. An electric power plant larger than that at Niagara and equipped to transmit electricity over a radius of 150 miles in the heart of Africa is the latest project. This scheme has already taken practical shape and is actually under way, although it is likely to be about two years before the plant is actually installed. The power to be put to use is the Victoria falls on the Zambesi river. These falls are much larger than Niagara, the Zambesi being a mile wide at falls, and the plunge of its waters 420 feet, while Niagara is only a half mile wide, and its plunge only 158 feet. The man who suggested the utilization of this vast power is George Forbes, who was connected with the Niagara project and is a prominent American engineer. It is said also that the Westinghouse company will install the plant. It is proposed to wait until the Cape to Cairo railway, which already extends forty miles beyond Bulawayo, has been brought to the Zambesi, a distance of only 275 miles, but through a rough and difficult country, owing to the character of the rock which has to be cut through to make the roadbed. It is not expected that this distance, an be covered short of a year and a half, but when it is covered a country of untold resources will be opened up, and use can probably be found for most of the power that it is proposed to develop at the falls. For just north of them lie immense copper fields, among the richest in the world; not far distant are the Wanke coal fields, covering about 400 square miles; and within 150 miles are great sandstone quarries and great teak forests. Moreover, the intention is to operate a large section of the Cape to Cairo railway by means of this power, if it is possible. The projectors are confident that the time is not distant when they can transmit power a distance of 400 miles down into the heart of the northern gold fields. When it is borne in mind that Victoria falls were discovered by Livingstone only fifty years ago, and that that region still abounds in lions, antelope, hyenas, rhinoceroses, hippopotamil and crocodiles, the rapidity with which British Africa is being developed is brought very vividly before one. No country in the world is as richly endowed as Rhodesia, with its vast fields of gold, diamonds, copper and coal, its forest and quarries, and a climate that, owing to the elevation above the sea, is said to be much like that of California. In no country is labor so cheap and nowhere have fortunes been so rapidly made. The hopes of enthusiasts and the predictions of the sanguine that within the next forty or fifty years British South Africa will rank with the United States as a great industrial nation teeming with a vigorous and enterrising white population does not seem under the circumstances to be based entirely on the imagination. The only drawback is the area of the country, which, with Cape Colony and the two Boer colonies thrown in, is less than half the size of the United States, and much of it not habitable by whites. -St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Here are some of the reasons: She knew how to forget disagreeable things. She kept her nerves well in hand, and inflicted them on no one. She mastered the art of saying pleasant things. She did not expect too much from her friends. She made whatever work came to her congenial. She retained her illusions, and did not believe all the world wicked and unkind. She relieved the miserable, and sympathized with the sorrowful. She never forgot that kind words and a smile cost nothing, but are priceless treasures to the discouraged. She did unto others as she would be done by, and now that old age has come to her, and there is a halo of white hair about her head, she is loved and considered. This is the secret of a long life, and a happy one.—Selected. The H. F.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of OLIO OF EVENTS. Bristol, England, has municipalized its docks and harbors at a cost of between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000. The biggest average farm in the world is in South Australia, where the average squatter holds 78,000 acres. Ohio courts have sustained the right of the city of Columbus to charge its citizens for water by the meter system. According to the Boston directory, there are 1,653 grocers and 650 provision dealers in that city, making a total of 2,303, while the lawyers number 2,188. Warrensburg, Mo., has three licensed saloons, each of which pays $2,200 annually into the treasury. They comply with all of the law's requirements, and aid in its enforcement, keeping out jointists and bootleggers of all kinds. The $30,000 in bills which figured in the bribery cases attending the election of Senator Clark by the Montana legislature still remain a part of the archives of that state. The man to whom it was given as a bribe never claimed it; naturally the bribers have not asked that it be returned, and there is no manner by which the state can appropriate it as part of the public funds. It is asserted that the Jews' Free School, Spitalfields, is the largest school not only in London, but anywhere. There are 44 classrooms for boys and 27 for girls. Each room is fitted as completely as modern invention can make it. The fact that the school has never been closed owing to the spreading of any epidemic indicates the sanitary perfection of the enormous structure. General Andre, the French minister of war, is the thirty-first man to hold this office since Sept. 4, 1870. Should he remain in the cabinet for two months more he will have surpassed any of its predecessors in the length of incumency, as he has now held the portfolio for two years and one month. It is generally admitted by foreign observers that the army, and particularly the form of the military-judicial procedure, has progressed much under his leadership. King Edward holds an easy record against all sovereigns or officials, living or dead, for military honors, reviews and practical commands. He is colonel of eleven regiments—apart from his office as field marshal—commanding two German regiments, one Russian, one Italian and the corps of Greek Guards. All these regiments he has reviewed in person, and since his 21st year he has held 450 reviews, as against the kaiser's 200 odd, and his various regiments give him command over 12,000 men. Some three years ago the Shah of Persia gave the minister of state the exclusive right for 50 years to spin and weave cotton and woolen fabrics in that monarchy. The concession permits the beneficiary to associate with himself either foreign or domestic capital and other aids. A member of an Australian weaving establishment has been requested to form an association for the exploitation of the Persian monopoly. Austrian textile manufacturers have a special interest in this matter, as they export $2,000,000 worth to Persia annually. The first office to be reorganized under the new system put into operation in its southern division by the Postal Telegraph company is at Louisville, Ky., and the man appointed its manager is W. J. Slater, for some years chief operator of the office at Washington, D. C. Mr. Slater has been 18 years in the telegraph business, beginning as a messenger boy and working his own way by merit till he has filled every part along the line of promotion, including acting manager. He has been connected successively with the old Baltimore and Ohio, the Western Union and the Postal companies, and has had a very large share in building up the Washington business of the last-named corporation. His selection as the first of the new corps of Southern managers is the highest compliment his employers know how to pay him. One of the earliest members of the Royal Academy, it was Gainsborough's custom to have his pictures conveyed to the metropolis by a prosperous London carrier, a Mr. Wiltshire, of Shoerwick, near Bath, says the London Academy. The man refused to accept payment on the ground that he loved pictures too well. He was not, however, allowed to go unrewarded, for Gainsborough presented him with six of his best works, and some idea of their ultimate value may be gained from the fact that when at length they were sold the National Gallery secured two. "The Parish Clerk of Bradford-on-Avon," for 500 guineas, and "The Harvest Wagon," for £2,500, these prices being considered low. Later, "The Sisters," from another gallery, realized close upon £10,000. A Swedish consul at Bombay says that "because of their fear of sanitary inspection and modern methods of preventing and curing disease the natives of India in vast numbers are victims of plague. In consequence of the hatred and fear of hospitals and medical men the population of Bombay has decreased in the whole of India in the same time about 15 per cent. Bombay now has 760,000 people. The hospital and general medical service in India are of the best, and do much good in the affected districts in spite of the prejudice which prevails against such things. The plague is generally fatal without the most skillful medical attention. The natives in their ignorance seek only to be left to die in peace. The ancient traditions of the country are extremely difficult, almost impossible, to eradicate. The late King Albert of Saxony was always averse to the circulation of trivial anecdotes about himself and his court in the newspapers. He was interested in many other things than statesmanship, and it was owing partly to his encouragement that modern music and the theatre him. He preserved in Dresden. He preserved his interest in university and school life. To the end of his life he kept up the habit of attending an occasional lecture at the university, and sometimes he would call unexpectedly at some public school and take a seat next the teacher, to whom he remarked: "Don't let me disturb you," and then listen to the recitations.

Gale Review: In the United States 4,000,000 feet of pine lumber are used every year for matches, or the equivalent of the product of 400 acres of good virgin forest. About 620,000,000 crosses are now laid on American railroads, and 90,000,000 new ties are required annually for renewals. The amount of timber used every year for ties alone is equivalent to 3,000,000,000 feet of lumber. There are now standing nearly 7,500,000 telegraph poles. The average life of a telegraph pole is about ten years, so that nearly 750,000 new poles are required every year for renewals. These figures do not include telephone poles and the poles required on new railway lines. The total annual consumption of timber for ties and poles is equivalent to the amount of timber grown on 100,000 acres of good virgin forest. For making shoe negs the amount of wood used in a single year is equal to the product of fully 3,000 acres of good second-growth hardwood land. Lasts and boot trees require at least 500,000 cords more. Most newspaper and packing paper is made from wood. Although this industry has been developed only within the last 40 years, yet the amount of wood consumed for paper during that time has been enormous. The total annual consumption of wood for paper pulp is equivalent to over 800,000,000 board feet of timber, for which it would be necessary, were the trees all growing together to cut some 80,000 acres of prime woods. Interperance and the Drug Habit. Interperance and the Drug Habit. "If you should ask any one of your neighbors," says Dr. A. P. Grinnell in the Medico-Legal Journal. "What stimulant do you take? and that person was the advocate of what is called prohibition in Vermont, which means the prohibition of alcohol (the least of all in importance), he would probably say, 'Nothing.' But analyze his or her daily life; consider tea, coffee, tobacco, quinine, opium, cocaine or any of the various table condiments like tobacco sauce, or some of the special brands of cat-sup, the patent medicines called tonics and blood purifiers, and you will find that there is not one who can say that he does not take one of the list, and would miss it if he did not. To some men alcoholic stimulant is everything they seem to need to satisfy their craving. What is stimulant to one, however, may not be to another, consequently there is a great variation in the character and amount of the stimulants used. Sooner or later the reformers of the world have got to divert some of their feverish antipathy to alcoholic stimulants and consider calmly and intelligently the drug evil. The deleterious influence on the individual of all forms of drug addiction, and the consequent effect on society and all relations of mankind, make its consideration in its sociologic and criminal aspects of paramount importance. The courts have never given much judicial importance to drug habits, but widespread development of drug addition must surely sooner or later, bring the matter info greater legal prominence."

Four Continents Shaken by Seismic Disturbances. The wave of seismic disturbances which has traveled around the world this year was felt in Bandar Abbas, at the eastern end of the Persian gulf, on July 9, when there was a severe earthquake, which lasted from three to four minutes. All the chief buildings suffered. The shock continued until July 10, and apparently proceeded from Kishn, whence loud noises are still audible in Bandar Abbas. Each of the five continents, except Australia, have this year suffered from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions accompanying them in five places. The following is the list: January, New Zealand, Croatia, Austria, Mexico, Liberia, February, Russia, Schemacha; March, Turkey, Italy, Tchangerian and Lucca, respectively; April, Guatemala, Iceland; Martinique (volcanic), St. Vincent, Spain, France (South Bordeaux), Washington (Mount Redoubt), (volcanic), Crotia, Mexico, San Francisco, Florida, France (the Cruesot district), the Cape peninsula and Greece; June, Italy, Russia, and Chill, in Vellitri, Baku and Chaco, respectively (the two last volcanics), Cheshire, St. Vincent, Sicily, India, Himalayas; July, Turkey and Salonica. According to Formula Judge Pennypacker was once asked by his brother Harry, during a session of court, for the loan of $5. Harry walked to the desk and whispered the request in the Judge's ear. The latter, looking down over the top of his glasses, without the suggestion of a smile, said loud enough to be heard throughout the room: "Put your application in writing, and present it to the court in a proper manner." Mr. Pennypacker, thinking the Judge's insistence upon regularity to be merely regard for the dignity of the court, wrote out the request and handed it to the clerk of the court, who, in turn, passed it to the bench. The judge read it quietly and seriously, and then interrupted the pending trial long enough to say: "Application for a loan of $5 made to this court is received—and refused."—Philadelphia Times.

One of the most discouraging features about Negro education is that the so-called big educated Negro seems less inclined to sup- port Negro business enterprises. ‘The Negro business man can’t get anything that is good enough for him; Negro newspapers are not fit for him to read; Negro grovery- men haven't anything good enough for him to eat; Negro doctors don’t know enough to attend him when sick; Negro undertakers can not please them, In fact, not a few of them go about, swelling up like bladders full of gas, cultivat- ing big bellies and debts.—The American Eagle.

He has been offered $15000 cash for his patent by one firm while scores have made him propositions to manufacture his churn on royalty. —Nashville Clarion. He Was Too Much of a Man for Them. By reason of the recent deposi- tion of Prof. Clark by the board of regents or the Lincoln Insti- tute, a'Negro State school located in the capitol of the State ot Mis- souri, the manhood of the Negro was thrown into play and raised to its full height: The facts in the vase have already been given to the associated press. However, we have this to say in relation to the matter, whatever the board of regents may think about it, We are free to say that its action meets the unqualified disapproval not only of the faculty and stu- dents of the school, but that of the people throughout the State. Et vox populi est vox Dei. Hence the board might as well prepare for a reaction. For outrages committed upon such manly men as Prof. Clark often serve as a boomerang. We are with the brave Prof. Since the school is fostered by the State for the ex- clusive education of the Negro, and since public sentiment will not permit Negro teachers to teach in the schools of the other race: of the State, then I say give u Negro teachers in the school, from primary to president of the schoo defacto dejure Clark was teo muck ofaman to be anything less.— Western Recorder. MOSSBACK SCHOOL TEACHER. The true genuine mossback school master is almost a thing of the past. In the light of the pres- ent he was a remarkable curiosity and yet his virtues were many and his influence lingers to this day. He was a power in his day and in this respect surpassed many of our latter day teachers. He was fully competent to adapt himself to the age in which he lived. This is the failing of a great many modern teachers; they are unable te properly grasp the spirit of age ‘and live in the real present. The age of ‘Readin’, 'Ritin’ and ’Rithmetic’’ is forever gone, and yet some have utterly failed to improve upon it in any substan- tial particulars. The times re- quire a corollation of subjects and some teachers have about as much tact for accomplishing this end as farmer Jones, The great aim of education, as now contended for, is to adapt man to his environments, To do this he must know nature, man and God and know well how to develop each phase of the question before the youths of the country. Not a few, by their weakness, would plead guilty to an utter ig- norance of nature, Under the leadership of such a guide the child must also remain ignorant of the great world of nature about him and thus lose the most inspir- ing elements of primary educa- tion; he grows to manhood almost wholly unconscious of that which ought to be one of his noblest en- vironments. ‘The mora! phase of a child’s ed- ucation is also sometimes neglect- ed because of the teacher’s moral incapacity. Since church and state are said to be seperated, some fool teachers get the idea that they are thereby relieved of any moral duty towards tke schools, When you enter the schools of this county to teach you are either & moral man or woman or our Commissioner and Board of Edu- catiou are notorious liars. They endorse your certificate which re- quires a moral qualification. You have played the Judas Iscariot to them or you are competent moral instructors and examples. If you don’t possess moral character suf- ficient to develop the spiritual ele- ments of child education you are not a safe person to place in charge of the youthful lives of this coun- try. You might make a good bar. tender or referee at a bull fight but you should quit the teacher’s profession. The child who is taught to know nature, men andj God in theit |proper relations is very apt tc | have the foundation well laid for intellectual proficiency and moral rectitude. Teachers who will ad. here strictly to this idea of educa- '|tion will do much toward develop: ing a generation of better and | more logical thinkers and do much also toward stamping out crim and anarchy in this country. Don’t be mossbacks in your pro: fession and don’t be moral cow: ards. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED, by local applications, as they can- not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustach- ian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumblin, sound or imperfect hearing, aa when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflam- mation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed for- ever; nine cases outof ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. ‘We will give One hundred Dol- lars for any case of Deatnoss (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
