This was a glorious Dr. Hendy, Mr. Hawkins and others, realize what a splendor the leadership his efforts to free need is nothing more service it was suggrand this will doubtless is its largest burden. Last Sunday was a great day for the pastor and members of the second Baptist church in Jefferson City, the last dollar on their church was paid and the edifice was dedicated to God. The church has had a rather remarkable history. It was once the old building of the white Baptists. One of the rooms is now the lecture room, with a beautiful addition added, which is the maia auditorium. Rev. J. S. Dorsey built the church and the parsonage and was pastor ten or eleven years. The main building cost between five and six thousand dollars. Less than three years ago Rev. J. Goins, present pastor, was called. He was then district missionary for Missouri, laboring under the auspices of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, Southern Board of Atlanta, Ga., white Mission Board of Missouri, and the colored Baptist convention of Missouri. He was elected as State missionary in the place of Rev. H. N. Bouey, who went to Africa, but resigned and accepted this charge at a less salary than he was getting. When he took charge the church owed some over three thousand dollars, and the members were greatly discouraged, owing to the condition of the debt. He has worked incessantly since he has been here to pay the debt. Securing one hundred dollars from the American Baptist Home Mission Society, two hundred from the white Baptists' Board of Missions of this State and the rest he has raised from his own people by rallies and entertainments, with the exception of what the white friends of this city have given him, and this has been no small amount, perhaps it would aggregate between two and three hundred dollars. He is not unmindful of this degree of kindness from the white friends and said at the dedication Sunday he could not find words to express his thanks for what they had done for him. Sunday was a glorious day with pastor and church. Dr. J. F. Caston of Fulton, Mo., preached the morning and evening sermons; Dr. E. L. Scruggs, president of Western College at Macon, Mo., preached in the afternoon. This was a glorious service, as all were. Remarks were made by Dr. Hendy, Mr. L. S. Parker, Jno. W. Edwards and Rev. J. R. Hawkins and others. Few people probably realize what a splendid work the people of this church have done under the leadership of Rev. Goins. He has labored early and late in his efforts to free the congregation of debt and the success just reached is nothing more than he deserved. At the Sunday evening service it was suggested that the salary of the pastor be increased, and this will doubtless be done, now that the church has been relieved is its largest burden. has been generously made to develop and broaden the work of the industrial department, is a sure guarantee of opportunity for effective work along lines so necessary for the masses of to-day.' In addition to this Bishop C. T. Shaffer is leading in a movement to make additional improvements on the University buildings, and give enlarged dormitories for young ladies. We believe that it is possible to make Western University a center from which shall go out those uplifting influences that lead to the betterment of the Negro. The Chautauqua, is in effect, a convention of Negroes striving to rise and help their fellows. Here will be discussed plans for the improvement of the Negro in the industries, in business, in the school, and in the home. "That no phase of the Negro's life may be neglected, all questions affecting him, will be discussed and an intelligent investi- --- gation into his real condition, will be originated, and prosecuted so that where advancing this may be shown, and encouraged—wherever retrograding the same may be checked. To cast about and see where we are, will be the cardinal principles upon which this work is founded, and the truth of the situation is the object first sought—after which remedial plans will be discussed. We are beginning as a Race, to see the way we shall do most to help ourselves to all we deserve by making ourselves the worthy contemporary of any or all men. Visitors of both races are invited to all our exercises. The institution at Quindaro stands for the forward trend of the whole race, and we trust to put in motion influences that shall be far reaching in their ultimate effect for good. With the untoward circumstances surrounding the Negro, we believe it our duty to ask co-opera- R. DALLMEYER DRY GOODS COMPANY THE BIG STORE. JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI. LARGEST STOCK===LOWEST PRICES.

The intellectual, moral and industrial uplift of our people, is our aim. Resolutions and oratory will never take the place of hard work, competency, character and better environments. These are the necessities for sure and lasting progress. To accelerate the racial awakening toward the acquisition of these is the purpose and duty of the University. A Request.

Porter of Denner and Prof. J. H. Jackson of this city were elected by the electoral college of the A. M. E. church at a meeting held in this city yesterday as lay delegates to represent Colorado at the general conference to be held in Chicago in May, 1904. It was the expressed opinion that the laity of the church will urge the claims of Professor Jackson for the editorship of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of that church, published in Philadelphia. By its thorough system of organization, the A. M. E. church is regarded as exerting the most potent moral and intellectual influence among all organizations of the colored people.—Colorado Springs Telegraph. Do You Want a Cut?

Appalling Destination in Kwang Su at Result of Famine. Victoria, B. C., May 19.—According to mail advices received from South China hundreds are dying in Kwang Su province as a result of the famine there. Correspondents writing from several sections say the destitution, suffering, and death are appalling. Whole families are subsisting on a few ounces of rice a day, or on roots and leaves. Missionaries are feeding thousands daily. The famine is causing the rebellion in that province to grow, as the poor are being driven to violence to obtain food. Women and children are being sold by the famine-stricken people. SPIRITS LOSE IN COURT. London Tribunal Cancels the Famous Cavendish Deed. London, May 19.—The chancery court ordered the cancellation of the deed by which H. S. H. Cavendish, the explorer, provided that his property should go to Mrs. Strutt, wife of Major C. H. Strutt, and her children, to the exclusion of the plaintiff's own wife, who was Isabel Jay, formerly leading lady of the Savoy theater. Mr. Cavendish in his appeal to the chancery court charged Major Strutt and Mrs. Strutt with influencing him, through table-turning, and claimed that Mrs. Strutt obtained the deed by pretending to be the ghost of his, the plaintiff's mother, and by representing the latter as speaking from heaven and advising him to so dispose of his property. COMING FROM IRELAND. Marked Increase in the Number Coming to This Country. New York, May 19. Great increase in immigration from Ireland is shown by the record of the first four months of this year, compared with the same period of other recent years. Statistics given out yesterday show the arrival of 8,206 Irish immigrants for the four months ending April 30, against 4,002 for the same period last year. For several years there was a falling off in Irish immigration. All other nationalities which come here show a larger percentage of males than females, but of the Irish coming this year about 70 per cent are females. Many are girls in their teens. HUSBANDRY STUDENTS. State College is Placing Pupils on Farms for Vacation Work. Ames, May 19.—The annual husbandry department is putting a large number of their students out in profitable and practically illustrative vacation work on some of the best known stock farms in the west. Among the places on which positions have been secured are: N. P. Clark's farm at St. Cloud, Minn., a breeder of horses and Shorthorn Galloway cattle; the Oaklawn farm at Wayne, Ill., owned by Dunham, Fletcher & Coleman, and with McLaughin Bros., of Columbus, O. The Oaklawn farm and McLaughins are the two largest importers of Percherons and French Coach horses in the United States. They are supposed to import about two-thirds of the horses of those breeds brought to this country. HOW THEY LIKE IT. Views of German Papers on President Roosevelt's Speech. Berlin, May 19.—President Roosevelt's prophecy in regard to the supremacy of the United States on the Pacific has excited surprise in Berlin, coming, as it does, the papers say, from so conservative a speaker. In some quarters the president's speech is regarded as a direct challenge to England, Japan, and Russia, whose claims to trade supremacy in the Pacific are held to be far older than America's, which only date from the acquisition of the Philippines. In other quarters the speech would be held to inicate an offense rather than a defensive policy, but it is believed here that Mr. Roosevelt is merely endeavoring to arouse sentiment in his country in favor of the upbuilding of a stronger fleet. New York, May 19.—Anthony Fialo, leader of the second polar expedition sent out by William Zeilzer in search of the north pole, sailed on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm yesterday for Trondheim, Norway, where his ship, the America, is awaiting the arrival of the scientific staff of the expedition which will go with Fiala. The remainder of the party has received orders to report here on May 27 to William T. Peters, the representative of the National Geographical society, who will go with Fiala as second in command. FOREIGNERS MAY ENTER MANCHURA THE KENTUCKY FUTURNITY Russia Issues Notice to That Effect STRIKES IN AUSTRALIA A Drastic Bill Introduced in Parliament to Suppress Strikes Against Government WHITES AGAINST BLACKS Cadets Were Sustained in Their Re- causal to March Behind a Pekin, special. — All doubt that Manchuria will be open to foreigners were dispelled yesterday when M. Blancon, the Russian charge d'affaires, issued an official notice that every part of the province is open to foreign travel and that passports are no longer necessary. This announcement created something of a sensation in official circles, as it had been believed that the Russians intended to exclude all but their countrymen from certain portions of the province. This attitude gives America, British, and other foreign merchants an opportunity to establish themselves in the different Manchurian cities. There were 500 Russian soldiers at New Chwang, who were removed about the date fixed for the excavation, and the same number returned to New Chwang. It appears that the Russian force which returned to the Liao forts merely used the forts as temporary resting places while journeying southward to their station on the peninsula. The withdrawal of the Russian troops to the railway in Manchuria, in accordance with the evacuation agreement made a year ago, has been more complete than was at first supposed. This movement has reduced the number of troops in the vicinity of New Chwang to the previous footing. There has been a complete resumption of civil administration in New Chwang and there is much municipal activity. There are indications at present that the negotiations with China will be prolonged. The existence of a large military force east of Liao Yang was persistently denied by the Russians, but was admitted when verified by the English consul. It is reported that the Russian flag is still floating over the Liao forts, which are being used by passing troops. State Department Reassured. Washington, D. C., May 19.—After careful inquiry the state department has become convinced that the report that New Chwang and the Chinese forts defending it had been reoccupied by the Russians was erroneous. According to the department's information, nothing to which this or any other government could properly take exception was done at New Chwang by the Russian authorities after the military evacuation of the place by the czar's soldiers. STRIKES IN AUSTRALIA. A Drastic Bill for the Suppression of Trouble Introduced in Parliament. Melbourne, Victoria, May 18.—A drastic bill to suppress the existing strike against the government was in London, May 19.—Mrs. Kuhne Bevridge, the sculptor, has taken a house in Park street and commenced work on a monumental bas relief depicting the charge of the Rough Riders at San Juan hill. President Roosevelt is leading the charge and at his feet lies Hamilton Fish. The sculptor takes liberty with historic facts, for Sergeant Hamilton Fish was killed at Las Guasimas several days before the fight at San Juan. Lexington, Ky., May 18.—The 11th renewal of the great Kentucky Futurity has brought to the office of Secretary E. W. Shanklin the largest number of nomination received for several years, there being 221 more mares' names this season than last, when the number received was 1,145. The nominations closed March 16 and Secretary Shanklin has just compiled the list, which shows that Kentucky again produced in the assembly yesterday by Premier Irvine, when parliament met to consider the situation. The premier moved the second reading of the bill. It is not retrospective and will not remain in force after the termination of the strike. It provides that an employee leaving his work without giving four nights notice is to be assumed to have joined the strike and will incur the penalty of $500 fine or a year's imprisonment, with loss of pension, and will be ineligible in the future for government employ. The bill also forbids interference with employees, the collection of strike funds, or encouraging the strike in any manner, and empowers the police to destroy documents encouraging the strike. Printers of such documents are declared offenders against the law, and all meetings are unlawful, at which four strikers are present. All persons refusing to disperse are liable to arrest without warrants, and the police are empowered to forcibly enter meetings. An amendment expressing regret at the strike and promising that parliament would consider the grievances of the railroad men if they return to work was defeated by 58 to 20 votes. Premier Irvine made a speech on the subject of the strike. He said the country faced a long meditated revolt against established authority. The issue concerned every country. The strike had thrown the state into confusion and it would be a fight to a finish. WHITES AGAINST BLACKS. Georgia Cadets Refuse to March Behind a Negro Drum Corps. Milledgeville, Ga., May 20.—Major A. M. Marchant of the Georgia Military academy has been forced to resign because he punished cadets who refused to march behind a negro drum corps in the memorial day parade. Three cadets were expelled and others were suspended. Patrons of the school wrote the faculty that they would withdraw their sons unless the expelled cadets were reinstated. Congressman-elect Hardwick signed a petition sustaining the cadets who drew the color line. As ruin threatened the school because of Major Marchant's action he resigned. Major Marchant is the second Georgia professor to lose his place because of the color question, Prof. Sledd being forced out of the Latin chair at Emory college on account of an article criticising the Southern whites for their treatment of negroes. UNDER THE SHERMAN LAW. First Conviction Secured In the Case of the Salt Trust. San Francisco, May 19. — Before Judge De Haven in the United States district court the Federal Salt company, commonly called the salt trust, of which D. E. Skinner is president, was convicted of maintaining a monopoly, contrary to the Sherman antitrust law. When the case was opened counsel for the corporation withdrew its original plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty to the first count of the indictment. Judge De Haven will pronounce sentence on Thursday. The maximum fine is $5,000. This case marks the first conviction under the Sherman law, which went into effect in 1892. Last November the attorney general's office won a civil suit before Judge Morrow against the same company on identical evidence. The successful termination of that suit abolished the contracts the Federal Salt company held. The Federal Salt company was organized in New Jersey in 1900. It established a business in California and quickly secured a monopoly of the product on the coast, raising the price from $2 to $6 a ton to $30 and $35. Marshalltown, Ia., May 19—Sheriff Shoemaker left for Clarinda with James Duffus, a member of the Iowa Soldiers' Home from Des Moines, who has been adjudged insane. Duffus was once a leading Iowa editor. He edited for years the Ft. Madison Plaindealer and later was at the head of a Des Moines paper. He has been falling rapidly, growing so weak mentally that it has been realized that something would have to be done. leads with 491, of which number three farms—Patchen, Wilkes, Walnut Hall and Groverland—nurnished 146. New York is second on the list with 144 and Massachusetts third with 129. Then comes Illinois with 85, Ohio 64 and Pennsylvania 55. The nominations come from 37 different states and territories and Canada, the breeders of which country sent 23 nominations, 11 of the number coming from Alexander Macaren. BOERS SETTLE IN MEXICO. A Thousand Families Will in Time Found a New Colony There. New York, May 20—General Benjamin Viljoen, former assistant commander general of the burgher forces in the Boer war and member for Johannesburg in the Transvaal volksraad, and General W. D. Snyman, a Boer commander, have arrived in this city from Mexico, after completing arrangements with the Mexican government by which 83,000 acres of the best land of that country has been secured for a home for immigrants from South Africa. General Snyman will await here the arrival of his family, and General Viljoen will sail for South Africa on May 17 to conduct the first expedition to the new country. "I expect," said General Viljoen, "to bring 50 families immediately and that others will follow soon. Fully 1,000 families will join the movement to seek freedom on the American continent. The land secured by us is a beautiful fertile strip known as Santa Rosalia, in the state of Chihuahua, and near Ortiz station, on the Mexican Central railway. Already men are at work there sowing corn. The new comers will be landed at Vera Cruz. We would have liked to bring them to the United States, but the immigration laws are too strict to allow of that. "We Boers are now practically a people without a home, but we hope to find one in the new country. Our success in getting this tract of land was in great part due to the assistance of President Diaz, Enrique Creel, and Mr. Limantour, the minister of finance." THE LORAIN MURDER CASE. It is to Be Reopened and the Body of Agatha Reichlin is to be Exhumed. Lorain, O., May 18.—With the arrest of a fresh suspect and the demand that the body of the murdered Agatha Reichlin be exhumed for another examination, the investigation into the circumstances of the girl's death is to be immediately reopened on lines which the police believe will lead to the speedy detection of her assassin. The arrest was that of Noah Spradling, the bartender who sold Casimir Reichlin, the murdered girl's brother, a gallon of whisky within a short time after the crime was committed. The decision to take Spradling in custody was reached on the advice of Detectice Mintz of Cleveland, who recently assumed charge of the investigation. Taken to police headquarters by Detectives Mintz and Goldsmith, Spradling was subjected to a sweatbox examination, as soon as Prosecutor Stroup arrived, and is said by the police to have divulged such important information that Mintz called for the reopening of the case. CATTLE PEST BREAKS OUT. Foot and Mouth Disease is Reported on Ranches in Argentina. Washington, May 19. — Secretary Wilson has received a cablegram from F. W. Bicknell, one of the traveling exploring agents of the department of agriculture, dated at Buenos Ayres, confirming the reported outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in Argentina. The dispatch says: "Foot and mouth on three ranches. One hundred animals in port affected by green alfalfa from infected ranch. Under control. Government expects it ended this month." Aptious fever and not the cattle plague has broken out in Argentina, according to a cable to the state department yesterday from the United States charge at Buenos Ayres. Information reached the state department yesterday from Vice Consul General Jones at Guayaquil, Ecuador, that quarantine has been reestablished against San Francisco. FLED IN NIGHT CLOTHES. Passengers Have Narrow Escape from Burning Sleeping Car. New Haven, Conn., special—The occupants of the sleeping car attached to the New York express, which reached here this morning from New York, had a narrow escape while the train was standing in front of the station. There was a gas explosion in the car and in a moment the car was wrapped in flames. The occupants, who barely escaped with their lives, were forced to fly into the station in their night clothes. Not a passenger saved a single article belonging to them. The cause of the explosion is unknown. The car was destroyed. A Mark for Lightning. Sloux City, May 19.—During a severe electrical storm at Vermillion, S. D., the 13-year-old son of A. J. Seller was struck by lightning and instantly killed. The boy was chopping wood ard and raised the ax in the air just as the bolt struck an adjaining barn. The electric fluid traveled along the wire clothes line and on to the ax which was a few inches away. Ten years ago Mr. Pratt, former owner of the farm, was killed by lightning within a rod of where young Seller fell. DETAILS OF THE JEWISH MASSACRE UNION LABOR AS A TRUST Russians Jealous of Jewish Prosperity TORN AND MANGLED Hideous Cruelty Even More Inhuman Than the Armenian Slaughter by Turks MISS GOULD STOPS STRIKE She Complied With Demand of Workmen on Terrytown Clubhouse for Higher Wages Kishlneff, Bessarabia, May 19.—Dr. Doroschewski, head physician of the national hospital, after examining the dead and wounded, has given the following specific instances of hideous cruelty: "A Jewess, name Zura Fonarschi, was brought here with two nails, seven inches long, driven into her brain through the nose. "One Jew was brought in with one hip, both ankles and wrists broken and several hands and feet dangling by the skin. "A Jew named Charifon had lost his upper and under lips which had been cut away with a kitchen knife, after which his tongue and wind pipe had been pulled out through the mouth with pinchers. "Ears of a Jew named Solzer, had been cut away and his head battered in twelve places. He is a raving maniac. "A carpenter was surprised at his work and both hands sawed off with his own saw. "A Jewish girl was assaulted by several brutes, who then cut her eyes out with a pocket knife. "A woman, after trying to defend her children, was thrown upon the pavement, disembowelled and feathers and horsehair from her bed was stuffed into her body. "Small children were flung out of windows and trampled upon by the mob. "Forty-seven were killed on the spot and eighty died of their injuries, Three hundred are under treatment. Many will be cripples for life." Four thousand Jews are without food or shelter and it is impossible for them to get away. Russians Jealous of Jews. London, May 19.-The desperate economic situation in southwest Russia, between Odessa and the Roumanian frontier, has been brought to a crisis by the recent massacres of Jews, which, it is feared, will be repeated, as the racial and labor conflict in that region remains at a complete deadlock. Boston, May 19—The general meeting for this year of the American Social Science association has begun here. The principal speakers at the first session were Lewis Brandeis, of the Massachusetts bar, and President Eliot of Harvard university. Brandeis talked on the question, "The Responsibilities of Labor Organization and Trade Union Incorporation." Speaking of the complaint of the employers that labor unions are practically immune from suit or legal liability, he said that this fact is largely responsible for the greatest grievances under which labor unions say they suffer, namely, government by injunction. He thought the unions "should take a position squarely that they are amenable to law, prepared to take the consequences if they transgress, and thus show that they are in full sympathy with the spirit of our people, whose political system rests upon the propositions that this is a TO REJECT CARNEGIE'S GIFT. Authorities of Sydney, N. S., Resent Remark About City. London, May, 20—A dispatch from Halifax, N. S., quotes Mayor Richardson of Sydney, N. S., as saying the city would return Andrew Carnegie's gift of $15,000 for a library because of an interview in London with Mr. Carnegie, in which he is alleged to have said the iron and steel industry of The Jews have in the course of years acquired not only control of trade but of employment in all the principal towns. After much street violence against the Jews and scenes of bloodshed, they retaliated by withholding both employment and trade, as well as credit. A letter received in a Jewish philanthropic center in London from the leading Jews of Kishineff states that shortly after the recent outrages the presidents of the workmen's guides, which were organized on the old paternal lines, complained to the governor of Kishineff that the Jews refused to reinstate the workmen. The governor thereupon called the Jews together and told them in a few words that in their own interest they had better reinstate the workmen, which they were averse to doing. The Jewish authorities in London construe the action of the governor as a direct threat, and they fear that further troubles are imminent. Police Do Not Interfere. "The police and soldiers stand with their hands behind their backs and do not attempt to interfere, beyond telling the mob which are Jewish and which Christian houses. The police also prevented the Jews from helping each other. "One Jewish carman brought a murdered Jew to the hospital. The carman was carried thither himself twenty minutes later with his skull split open. "This is only one instance tending to show the careful organization of the affair, which was due principally to the anti-Semitic newspaper, Bessarabitz. Another evidence of the organization was the fact that many of the participants in the atrocities wore the distinished red smocks of the soldiers and police and stole whatever they could lay their hands on. "There were many students among the offenders, including one notorious law student of the name of Somigradeff. Many gentiles protested, but were frightened from active interference. All the big towns of northwest Bessarabia are incensed against the Jews, who fear outbreaks at any time." The correspondent says fifty persons were killed, 350 were severely and over 1,000 slightly wounded in the massacres. MISS GOULD AVERTS STRIKE. Meets Demands of Men Working on Tarrytown Clubhouse. Tarrytown, N. Y., May 19.—Thegeneral strike in Westchester county has not tied up the new $20,000 clubhouse which Miss Helen M. Gould is building on Sheldon avenue for the benefit of the young men of Tarrytown, for Miss Gould has agreed to pay the wages demanded by the unions. Work was begun on the foundation this week and will go on rapidly now, as no trouble is expected. When Miss Gould learned of the strike and that the men demanded more money and less hours, she agreed to meet their demands. For the present Miss Gould has rented the old Robin's Nest building in Washington place for a clubhouse. She bears all the expenses. Miss Gould is to install a fine gymnasium, reading-room, and everything necessary for a first class club. government of law and not of men." President Eliot of Harvard said if trades unions wanted incorporation there seemed to be no objection, and if they did not want it, there was none. There was however, an objection to the imposition of the money penalty, and this whole talk of incorporating trades unions was fairly attributable to a desire to get at them and impose fines or collect damages. "It must be noted," said Elliot, "that the activities of trades unions involve only moral, not legal responsibilities. The positions of unions is virtually that of 2,000,000 men who systematically permit moral and physical violence in the attainment of their ends in the limitation of output, other than which there is no more corrupting or degrading influence. Laborers cannot gain their alms in a labor struggle without permitting violence, but this is a moral question and not one of damages. To attempt to get at them vindictively by inducing or compelling incorporation and making them financially liable is not at all the way to settle the problem." Cape Breton was a "mirage." Mr. Carnegie said he was sorry if anything he had hurt his Canadian friends.

He was Stricken With Paralysis and Lived But a Few Hours—Sketch of the Widely Known American With an Account of His Work. (St. Petersburg cable.)—The American author and explorer, Paul du Chaillu, is dead. He was stricken with paralysis Wednesday, April 29, and the end came at midnight. The funeral arrangements will be looked after by a brother of Verestchagin, the Russian painter, and if it is deemed that the burial take place here the interment will be in the Litteratuers cemetery. Paul Belloni du Chaillu, who was born in New Orleans in 1835, by his fascinating personality endeared himself to all who met him in every part of the world. His career was full of adventure and his books describing his travels and experiences have been read with delight by countless multitudes all over the world. Du Chaillu is said to have been the first white man to see a gorilla and he it was who first discovered a tribe of pygmies, fat, short, and ferocious, dwelling in the heart of Africa. While yet a child he was taken by his father to a small trading station on the coast of Africa. When he was 17 years old, with a single companion, he ventured into the interior of the dark continent. For three years he traveled on foot through the country that Stanley afterward traversed, learning 50 native languages, discovering 35 native tribes, studying the customs of the people, and collecting specimens of the flora and fauna of the country. When he returned to America in 1852 he published in the New York Tribune a series of articles upon his discoveries which brought down upon him the scorn of the geographers and scientists of the old school. He was laughed at. He was called a dupe of clever showmen. It was this experience which fixed the course of his life. He at once learned the use of scientific instruments and became an expert photographer. Then he went back to Africa, verified his former discoveries, and began the publication of his books of African travel. He had made a new map of Africa. Interesting as are the printed records of his experience in Africa, Du Challlu's conversation was even more entertaining. It was in conversation that one felt the strength of the personality that had made his adventures possible, for he had achieved his results by fraternizing with the people whom he studied. During the course of his travels he had 22,000 wives offered to him from among the dusky daughters of the native tribes. He died a bachelor. Du Challu's series of books concerning his African adventures includes "A Journey to Ashango Land," "Explorations and Adventures in Equatorial Africa," "Stories of the Gorilla Country," "Wild Life Under the Equator," "Lost in the Jungle," "My Apingi Kingdom," "The Country of the Dwarfs," and "The Land of the Midnight Sun." Finally he seemed to weary of the tropics and turned to the lands and peoples of the North. He was the inventor of the title "The Land of the Midnight Sun," and often laughingly spoke of the piracy of the later lecturers who had adopted his expression without so much as "by your leave." Du Chaillu had many friends in almost every city of the world. He carried through life the impulsive manner, the ready enthusiasm of his youth. He was very Gaelic in accent and manner. Slightly below medium size, with dark eyes and a mustache that early in life was touched with gray, he had a resistive power that enabled him to work 16 to 18 hours a day, to tire out one secretary after another, to endure hardship or to lead the life of the society lion, as occasion demanded. With the opening of the unexplored places of the continent, the type to which Du Chaillu belonged—if one can categorize him at all—has almost disappeared. He was wont to call himself the "last of the Du Challus, who are the last of the Huguenots." George M. Gould, an eminent oculist of Philadelphia, in Biographical Clinics, proves to his own satisfaction, apparently, that De Quincy's opium habit, Carlyle's poignant complaint and Browning's vertigo were due to eye strain from slight squint.

An Extraordinary Feat. Performed by the Faculty of Ruskin College HOW A MISSOUR COLLEGE MOVES END OF THE AMERICAN OXFORD 638 The New Town "Roosevelt." ```markdown ``` THE TRAIN Persons living in towns along the route of the Rock Island Railway, in Missouri and Illinois, witnessed on tire college being moved by rail. A train load of college departed from Trenton, Mo., at 8 o'clock that morning, arriving in Chicago in time for the collegians to eat supper. Ruskin College, the celebrated socialistic institution founded three years ago by Walter Vrooman, was aboard the special train. All the students and a part of the faculty were on board. The baterial equipments of the school and the personal effects of the students and professors were taken along. No interruption to the regular college work resulted from this extraordinary move. The various classes were separated in different cars and the professors taught as the train rolled on. In one car the students were reciting, in spite of the noise of the train; in another examinations were going on, and in a third a teacher at the blackboard was working out problems in mathematics. Instruction was only interrupted for meals. At the usual recreation hour the students lounged in the cars until the time was up to resume their studies. By this one move the school at Trenton ceased to exist and at Chicago ther was a material addition to what is to be called "Ruskin University." Ruskin College was a socialistic school founded by Walter Vroom, prime mover in the Western cooperative movement, of which so much was The New Town The President of the United States has been happily complimented by the gold miners of Idaho, who have named a new town for him in the Thunder Mountain region. The town of Roosevelt is a typical mining camp of the great West—such as Bret Harte wrote of and Mr. Roosevelt himself knew well in the old days when he was a cowboy and ranchman on the frontier. Roosevelt has but one street as yet; that is, of course, Main street, though it is probable that Theodore avenue Rough Rider boulevard and Teddy terrace will follow shortly. As the town grows and takes on dignity, perhaps presidential plaza will serve for the public square and the Executive Hotel will be the leading hostelry. In- BEAUTY DON'TS.

A Special Train Carried Ruskin College From Trenton, Misssouri, to Glen Ellyn, Illinois, All Recitations Being Heard En Route Without Interruption and Arriving At Their Destination the Evening of the Same Day of Their Departure. Material Equipment of the School and Personal Effects of Students and Professors Taken Along. sald and written a year ago, but which is now abandoned. The school was patterned after Ruskin Hall, Oxford, England, of which Mr. Vrooland was also the patron saint. It proposed to give educational facilities in exchange for student labor and to derive its revenue from the associated industries. It was first launched in 100, the building at Trenton used by Avalon College, then suspended, having been secured by lease. After a checkered fortune of three years, and having been closely associated with the co-operative bubble which burst in the fall of 1902, it has now been transported to Glen Ellyn, a suburb of Chicago, where it is to be merged with a number of small colleges under the name of Ruskin University. All the schools are in the vicinity of Glen Ellyn. During the entire three years Ruskin College's most distinguishing mark had been the socialistic ideas of its faculty and students. All the public festivals rang with the theories of a universal brotherhood and the bitter impeachment of private ownership of capital. Speakers were brought from abroad almost every week. All were of socialistic convictions. It was more and more boldly announced, as the disciples became sure of their ground, that Ruskin "stood for" public ownership of all the implements of industry, the abolishment of wages and the leveling of the nabob and hobo. When the co-operative movement first came upon the conservative lit- n "Roosevelt" stead of the Grand Central, which name always graces the first hotel in a wild western town. Though but a few weeks old, Roosevelt, Idaho, is a thriving place, with several stores and a Red Light saloon, where such Dan Quin characters as Doc Peets, Enright and Cherokee "hang out" nightly. The president's itinerary of the West missed Roosevelt, but that was not the fault of the president. In the course of a chatty magazine article on how and where to make a cheap six weeks' tour to Europe Lilian Bell says that if she were asked to mention the most beautiful object in nature she would be obliged to say "An Austrian cavalry officer." Don't eat potatoes, peas, macaroni, cream, olive oil, pastry and bon-bons, if you want to lose flesh. Don't go to bed hungry. A glass of milk or a cup of chocolate will refresh you. Don't eat hot or fresh bread, if you want to be healthy and beautiful. Don't eat cold starchy foods, like potato salad and cold porridge, unless you have strong digestive organs. Farm, Orchard and Garden Notes the Missouri city there was great waiting and grashing of teeth. For a while the "movement" threatened to sweep everything before it, and local capitalists were much disturbed. It then spread to Kansas City and other towns. In six months the money was mostly spent and Vrooman looked upon a wasted fortune, an unpopular industrial revolution and a sea of financial complications. All that is left in Trenton today to tell the story of the "American Oxford" movement is a large farm, estimated at $100,000, and a small drug store. The former belongs to Mrs. Vrooman and both are for sale. The chain of stores and factories has been disposed of at a sacrifice and these enterprises merged with local establishments or are being run as independent enterprises under other names. Mr. Vrooman is in an Eastern sanitarium for nervous troubles. Perhaps no other town in the state would have resisted more doggedly this socialistic conquest, than did Trenton. Grundy County is a Republican stronghold, and the prevailing public spirit is conservative to a fault. The political and religious ideas of the Vvoomanites were at once decidedly distasteful to the local people, and the business enterprises could not give ground against the strong feeling already aroused toward the college ideals. Ruskin College was almost boycotted by local people. On this account it emphasized more boldly its socialistic principles, in order to attract attention abroad. Almost the fifty or more students who were moved to Chicago were representatives of a large majority of the states of the Union and of several European and Asiatic countries. 9 The last days of the college at Trenton were stormy. Realizing that the prominence given to radical sociological teachings had been an obstacle to success, the new management decided to put a check on it. The noted "Apeal to Reason" case a year ago. Both he and Prof. Will had contracts with Ruskin until September next, but were informed that their services would not be neede. They attribute their removal to the facts stated. Rev.

He is given to unorthodoxix and socialistic utterances in the pulpit, and was dismissed for heresy by the Kansas conference of By J. S. Trigg, Rockford, Iowa. The roadside may be properly termed the farmer's show window, and the merchant who would pile all his old truck in his front window is not more to be criticised than the farmer who lets the highways bordering his farm become weed tangles and rubbish grounds. Substitutes for wood will become a necessity in the coming years, owing to the obliteration of the forests. Railway ties will be made of some other material than wood—steel or possibly cement. Steel wire has already displaced wood in fences, while paper in some form or other is likely to take the place of boards in building.

Never before has there been so large a quantity of choice apples on the market during March, April and May as this year. The glut and awful waste of fine fruit so common in the past are thus in the future to be largely avoided, and, as with butter, eggs, dressed poultry, game and other products of a perishable nature, the apple crop will be saved, with profit to the grower. A change in the administration of road work in a western state makes the township the unit and requires the payment of all road taxes in cash. As a result there are many advertisements in the papers for men who are competent to intelligently supervise the road work of a township. When eggs can be bought for 10 cents a dozen no man living in town is justified in keeping a lot of hens to worry and fret the life out of his neighbors. the Methodist Episcopal church one year ago. He has been writing and preaching socialism ever since. It is the intention of Prof. Will to start a new school at Wichita, Kan., to be known as the American Socialist College. Mr. Ross and Rev. Mr. Lowther will be connected therewith. N. G. ROGERS. most professors were "let out," after a long and fiery discussion between the opposing forces. President Geo. McA. Miller, his wife and son, some of the lesser lights were on the train that went to Chicago. Among those rejected, presumably because of their rash doctrines, were some well-known men. Prof. Thomas E. Will is a frequent contributor to magazines on sociological topics, and his views along these lines form the motive force of his life. This is his third experience of this sort. His chair in Lawrence University, Wisconsin, was declared vacant in 1883. Some years later Gov. Stanley of Kansas strained his authority to remove the professor from the presidency of the State Agricultural College, after a long conflict with a Populistic board. W. A. Ross, principal of the business college, is a prominent socialist. He is said to have been largely instrumental in checkmating Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden in Many Schools in Ruskin University The University at Glen Ellyn will include the following institutions beside Ruskin College, and Ruskin Business College: Steinmann College, 1886, Dixon, Ill.

Ten cows, costing $100 each, of any standard breed, will, if properly cared for, bring the owner in more money in ten years than if he started with thirty common cows at $33.33 apiece We have seen this thing tried. About 300 pounds can be added to the weight of a steer by giving him proper feed and care up to the time he is a year old, and then we think breed will add another 300 pounds. The central Wisconsin sawmills, which a few years ago cut nothing but white pine, last year cut 167,000,000 feet of hemlock and 68,000,000 feet of hard woods, against, 62,000,000 feet of pine. One could hardly believe that the practical and steady going Dutch would ever get so carried away by a speculative craze as to give for a single tulip bulb four tons of wheat, eight tons of rye, four fat oxen, eight pigs, twelve sheep, two hogsheads of wine, four barrels of beer, two barrels of butter, 1,000 pounds of cheese, a bundle of clothes and a silver pitcher. Yet this was actually done in the year 1637, when the tulip craze seized the people of that country. Government by irrigation is every way to be preferred to government by injunction. About the toughest thing in the way of a debt is where the father has to put a mortgage on his home to get a wayward son cut of some scrape. We have known cases of this kind, and the thing which is harder to bear than the debt so contracted is the feeling that had the boy been brought up as he should have been the trouble would have been erased THESE WANT TO FIND OUT. A party of forty-six representative Germans connected with the agriculture of their country have been making a tour of the United States for the purpose of finding out how it is that this country leads the world in agricultural lines. They will see our herds of registered stock, packing houses, study our dairy and creamery interests, be shown the big wheat fields of the north, the cornfields of the central states and the cotton fields of the south, as well as the great fruit growing sections of the Pacific coast. At some point in the west they will be ceremoniously introduced to his excellency the Poland-China hog, and it is to be hoped that they may be so favorably impressed with his many good qualities that upon their return home they will recommend that the barriers now in the way of the shipment of American hog products to Germany will be removed. It is almost certain, further, that the party will hit Milwaukee either going or coming. Oak and Hickory Trees. A friend writes and wishes to know if he can transplant some hickory and burr oak trees. We doubt if he can do so successfully. These two varieties of trees are the most difficult to transplant of any that we know of, owing to their having long taproots, which go down deep in the ground, and few if any surface fibrous roots. If we wished to transplant them we would prepare them one or two years previously by cutting the taproot off two or more fet from the surface and compel them to throw out some surface roots. To attempt to move them without doing this would be to lose nearly if not quite all of them. Bound to Increase. The insistence of some forms of wild life is remarkable. For instance, take the crow, a bird which does not multiply rapidly, yet so shrewd is this bird that he is able to evade all or nearly all of his enemies and multiply in numbers until he becomes a nuisance. Or take the English sparrows, beset by cats, air guns, poison, owls, nets and traps, and yet in spite of all he is everywhere in ever increasing numbers. Or take the rat, with cats, traps, poison, dogs, ferrets, each and all after him relentlessly, and he is the biggest nuisance of the three in spit of it all. These types of animal and bird life seem to thrive under persecution, always closely in contact with man, notwithstanding man is their worst enemy. A Model Irrigation Scheme. At Wichita Falls, Tex., in the dry region where the rain mostly falls in the winter and not during the crop season, there has been carried out to a most successful completion, a model irrigation scheme which will raise the value of 10,000 acres of land from $10 to $100 per acre. This plant is of special interest as being one which depends upon flood waters stored in a reservoir for its water supply. A valley three-fourths of a mile in width through which winds a little brook ten or twelve feet wide, usually dry during the summer, has had a dam throwa across it from bluff to bluff, and there has been created, with just the flood waters of last winter alone, a lake or reservoir covering 4,000 acres of land with a depth of water of ten to twenty feet, an ample supply to irrigate 10,000 acres of land. The enterprise was done by private citizens of Wichita Falls and cost complete about $25,000. In a modest way it is a most interesting exhibit of the possibilities connected with the irrigation law passed by the last congress providing for the impounding of the waste food waters of the dry sections of the country. This plant is well worth visiting by any who is interested in the reclamation of dry lands. Wouldn't Be Necessary.

Brookuaven, Miss., May 9 — In his charge to the grandjury to- day Judge Powell strongly de- nounced whiteeappers. He said in part: “Tf T understand the object and aims of the whitecappers, it is to rnn the negro laborers ont of the country and to prevent any mer- chant or non resident holding any land in the county. ‘To accomplish this result necessarily involves the destruction of all legal govern- ment and the enthrovement of na- ked brute force as the governing power in the community. “The history of the ages has taught us that it is an easy matter to tear down and destroy. It is quite another matter to build up. The wretch who laid in ashes the magnificent temple of Diana at Ephesus could not have carved a single column of that splendid edi- fice. The miserable creatures who are attempting to tear down aud destroy your splendid civilization have absolutely no conception of the ways and means of building up a great and prosperous state. “I confess I can’t understand the foolish hostility to the negro. He is here without his consent, and here undoubtedly he must remain in large numbers. He has been eliminated by our constitution and laws from all political control. He asks for no social recognition. He only asks for the poor privi- lege of working for his daily bread in peace, and to indulge in the hope that the coming years may bring something better to his pos- terity. We of the white race have all the offices of power, from gov- ernor to constable, and the negro is simply the sreature of our mer- cy. It strikes me that for us to op- press, when we should protect, to ebase where we might lift up, is unmanly and unworthy of the proud race to which we belong. “Stand by the nobler traditions of your race, and let it be under- stood that no man or set of men are so powerful that the strong arm of the law cannot reach them, or so lowly that the broad shield of the law cannot protect them.’”- Post Dispateh.
