THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. $1.00 Per Year in Advance. Thinks Education is the Solution of Race Problem. Thinks Education is the Solution of Race Problem. Rev. W. T. Vernon, Noted Negro Educator, Talks of Colored Man's Future. (From the Denver Republican). In his theories for the solution of the race question the Rev. William Tecumseh Vernon gave the three audiences who listened to his preaching yesterday some food for thought. This negro who stands second only to Booker T. Washington in the public eye, is visiting Colorado in the interest of the Western College at Quindaro, Kan., of which he is president. Yesterday morning he preached at the Shorter M. E. church and in the evening at the Campbell A. M. E. church at the corner of Twenty-third and Lawrence streets. In fact his visit at this date was at the personal request of the pastor of this church, the Rev. J. T. Smith, who yesterday, with his congregation, celebrated the 12th anniversary of his church building. (I am a free believer that ad "I am a firm believer that education is the true way to solve the P. race question," said Dr. Vernon last night. "I feel that no race of educated men ever was or ever will be made slaves to their compeers or associates. The only way that we can look the Anglo Saxon race in the face and live as manly is far the negro to be a man who possesses such an education, such a character and has such a standing as will enable the Anglo-Saxon to see in him true worth. "So far as I have discovered, the better element of the whites are friends to that class of negroes who are trying to succeed. There are no race riots and race wars unless the disturbances are created by those who are not the best citizens of either race." Dr. Vernon is an interesting talker because of his sincerity. It is this trait which has made him so powerful among his race and made so many friends for him in his work. The college over which he presides was originally founded after the freedom of slaves was established and successful in its immediate good at that time. About seven years ago Dr. Vernon, as an agent for the A. M. E. church went to the legislature of Kansas and obtained permission for the establishment of an industrial department in connection with the school. The legislature at different times contributed freely until the institution is now in a flourishing condition. Aside from CASH OR CREDIT. Catalogue FREE. CENTURY MF'G CO. having a theological and classical course the industrial department teaches both boys and girls all the indoor and outdoor trades. There are now more than a hundred students there with a corps of twelve teachers and assistants. "The disagreements between the races," said Dr. Vernon continuing, "are brought about by differences among the lower element that spread to both elements. However, I am fully convinced that the earnest thought of the age is against these racial troubles. There is a disposition to effect a better understanding. "I do not think that the best methods are adopted for the settlement of the trouble when Chautauqua assemblies are called in the North for this purpose with such orators as John Temple Graves, known as a radical, to exploit their views on this question. Nor do we gain the best results when men of the stamp of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman are allowed to debate this question to the North and West, where there is a friendly feeling toward the American negro." Along this line Dr. Vernon criticised strongly yellow journalism and the writings of the most radical writers for the public press. These utterances, he said, are only tended to inflame the public mind and create a prejudice. On the theory that the interests of both races are identical he insists that conservatism is the only powerful and safe method of procedure. "Of a population of 70,000,000 people," he added, "where 10,000,000, or one seventh of the population, is of the negro race, we can at once see that their success contributed in a great measure to the sum total of the success of the American people." "Let the white minister," impressively continued Dr. Vernon, "preach from his pulpit the doctrine of Jesus Christ—charity for an unfortunate people—and at the same time condemn sin and wrong. Let him insist that punishment by law should be had tor all crimes, without needless delays, and a better feeling will come. "It will bring a disposition to reproach the crimes and lawlessness will perceptibly decrease. I would Harness, etc. We sell direct from our Factory to Consumers at Factory Prices.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition on the mucous services.

Lincoln Institute begins its first term for the scholastic year 1903, 1904, September 7th. Let all students, as far as possible, be present on the day of opening as work begins at once without any unnecessary delay. All of the departments will be open from the start and in charge of specialists. Recent additions to the faculty since the June election are Prof. Starnes, a graduate of Hampton, to superintend the Industrial Department; and Miss Sprague, of Washington who will have charge of domestic science. The buildings, grounds etc., are all in excellent repair; the location is high, sightly and healthy, illness among students being almost unkown. All indications point to a prosperous year and an unusually large number of students. President Allen has the true missionary spirit, is thoroughly conscientious, and spares no pains to make the work a success; and we feel sure that the patrons in Missouri and adjoining states and territories, will do their part in maintaining a great school in the middle west that will reflect creditably the progressive and enterprising spirit in this section. The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials. LINCOLN : INSTITUTE MISSOURI STATE SCHOOL FOR COLORED YOUTH.

Department of Agriculture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Missouri Section, for the week ending August 31, 1903. The temperature during the past week was considerably above the seasonal average up to the 28th, but the last two days of the week were much cooler. The percentage of sunshine was generally above the normal. Over the southeastern portion of the state the rainfall was light, some districts receiving none; in the southwestern counties it was somewhat heavier, though very few localities received over 1 inch, but over many of the central and northern counties the total fall exceeded 2 inches, and in localities in the extreme northern counties ranged from 5 to over 8 inches. At Unionville 7.50 inches of rain fell during the night of the 26th, and at Maryville 4.10 inches fell on the 26-27th. A number of streams in the northern portion of the state have overflowed their banks destroying corn and other erops on the bottoms and washing away large quantities of hay. At Burlington Junction the Nodaway river is reported to have been higher than at any time during the past forty three years. The drouth in the east-central and northeastern counties has been relieved and corn has improved rapidly in those districts, but in many of the southern counties it is still suffering for rain and in some districts is being seriously injured. Elsewhere the crop has made good progress, although the present low temperature will check the growth of the late corn. Considerable early corn is now out of all danger and cutting is in progress in some of the southern counties. Cotton is suffering from drouth in portions of Pemiscot county and there is some complaint of shedding. Sorghum is also being cut short by drouth in some of the southeastern counties, but elsewhere it is generally doing well and some is being worked up. Sweet potatoes are generally promising and late irish potatoes promise a good yield in some districts, but in many counties the crop will be light. The harvesting of millet, cow peas and seed clover continues with fair to good yields, as a rule. Tobacco is being cut in Bates county and is reported very fine. Pastures are improving in the northern and eastern, and are generally in good condition in the central and western counties, but in some of the southern counties they are dry and short. Plowing for wheat is progressing well in the central and northern counties, except where heavy rains have made the ground too wet, but in --- Clasical Cinematic Drawing, Fine Arts and Mechanical Showmaking Typewriting GOOD RAINS. for Wheat ```markdown ``` WANTAGES. 1.

The sermon was full of wholesome advice for all who heard it and will doubtless prove a guiding star especially for the young people. More such sermons should be preached by Columbia ministers. The fire which destroyed the home of Blind Boone in Warrensburg, last week, was a most destructive one and Mr. Boone sustained a very heavy loss. The residence which burned contained nine rooms. All of the contents were consumed in the flames, some of which cannot be replaced. Among them was Boone's first piano, a $500 Chickering make, and a life size oil painting of his deceased mother. Only $500 insurance was carried on the house and contents. The total will probably be $2000. THE FOUR LETTERED NAME OF GOD.

VENABLE. MARRIED Noticel Noticel An Excellent Sermon. A Destructive Fire. Rufus L. LOGAN, Editor Columbia - - - - Missouri WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN Heavy Rains In the Central Eastern Cotton Belt Hurts That Staple— Boll Weevil Is Doing Much Damage in Texas—Progress of Spring Wheat Harvest is Good. Washington, D. C., special. — The weather bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions is as follows: While complaints of cool nights during the early part of the week are reported from the states of the central Mississippi and Ohio valleys, the temperature conditions throughout the country as a whole have been favorable, the upper Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, lake region, and Rocky mountains districts, the greater part of which has suffered from abnormally low temperatures for several weeks, receiving more than normal heat. Portions of the south Atlantic states experienced heavy rains, while the Ohio valley, the greater part of Texas, and the Rocky mountains, and Pacific coast districts are suffering from drought. There was some damage in the northern portion of the middle Atlantic states by local storms on the 19th. On the whole the corn crop has made favorable progress, especially over the central and western portions of the corn belt, the most decided advance being reported from Nebraska and Kansas. In the upper Ohio valley corn is suffering seriously for rain, which is also needed in portions of Illinois and Missouri, and much of the crop in Iowa will suffer unless rain falls soon. The reports indicate that early corn will be safe from frost by Sept. 15 to Oct. 1, and late corn from Oct. 1 to 15. Considerable spring wheat remains to be cut in North Dakota, but harvesting is practically finished elsewhere in the spring wheat region, and thrashing is in progress. In southern Minnesota much grain in shock is damp. In South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas the weather has been highly favorable for stacking and thrashing. Harvesting is nearly finished in Oregon, and advancing rapidly in Washington, the grain being of superior quality. Cotton has suffered materially from heavy rains and lack of sunshine over a large part of the central and eastern districts of the cotton region, where, as in the previous week, rapid growth and, in some localities, too much stalk, excessive shedding, and rust are reported. The plant, however, is generally well fruited throughout the belt. In Texas the boll weevil is doing much damage, expect in the northern counties, and boll worms are more numerous and destructive. A little picking has been done throughout the southern portions of the belt, but this work is not yet general. The condition of tobacco in Tennessee is exceptionally favorable, and a fair crop is promised in Kentucky, where an improvement is indicated. A fair to good crop is being cut in Maryland and Virginia. In Pennsylvania, though backward, tobacco has made fair progress, but drought has materially lessened its condition in Ohio. The reports indicate a general decline in the condition of apples except in the southern portion of the middle Atlantic states, where the outlook continues favorable. Fall plowing has progressed under favorable conditions, except in the Ohio valley and central portions of the Mississippi valley, where the soil is too dry. "DOCKING OF HORSES" General Miles Issues an Order Forbid ding the Brutality. Washington special.—General Nelson A. Miles has issued an order, with the approval of the secretary of war, to prevent the "docking" of horses in the military service. General Miles regards this practice as brutal, and on this point he and the president agree, as President Roosevelt has always refused to allow the tails of his horses to be docked, despite the fact that the dictates of fashion favor "docking." In the orders it is provided: "Any alterations in the length or shape of the tails, manes or forelocks of public horses by docking banging or clipping is hereby prohibited, and only such reasonable trimming and plucking as may be necessary to prevent shaggliness of appearance will be permitted."

NEWS OF THE WEEK A Brief Resume of Recent Occurrences in the World of Affairs GENERAL POLITICAL LEGAL EXECUTIVE U. S. Army Reorganized. U. S. Army Reorganized. The historic office of general commanding the army became a thing of the past Aug. 15, when Gen. S. B. M. Young relinquished this office, which he had held for one week after the retirement of Gen. Miles. At the same time he assumed the duties of chief of staff, the head of a large body of high rank officers called the general staff corps. Under act of congress Feb. 14, 1903, the command of the army rests with the president, whose command is executed through the secretary of war and the chief of staff. The latter reports to the secretary of war, acts as his military adviser, receives from him the directions and orders given in half of the president and gives effect thereto. Naval Review at Oyster Bay. For the first time a presidential review of the navy in time of peace was made by President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay Monday. Admiral Dewey and General Young, representing the two branches of our war equipment, stood beside the president when the fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Barker, composed of four battleships, eight cruisers and ten torpedo boat destroyers filed past the reviewing ship double file. Then the commanding officers were asked to luncheon with the president on board the Mayflower, after which the president inspected each ship, making a brief address to each crew. To Brename Indians. In the various Indian schools and reservations the greatest interest has been aroused by the order of the interior department appointing Hamlin Garland, the well known writer of Indian stories, to revise the names of our Indians. It has been found that much confusion results from the present Indian method of nick-names, and their objectionable translation into English B. F. D. Extensions. During the first month of the fiscal year 3,000 new rural free delivery routes were laid out. The appropriation made for the year, $12,000,000, allows $3,000,000 for the establishment of 6,000 more routes of the 11,000 asked for. FOREIGN POLITICAL It was announced at Sofia that the Bulgarian government had sent a memorandum to the powers telling of Turkish atrocities in Macedonia during the past three months or since the porte undertook to inaugurate the promised reforms. Definite details of confiscation, torture and murder, wholesale, with dates, places and names of persons are contained in this terrible summary. China's Promise in Writing. The state department at Washington was informed Monday that Minister Conger at Pekin has secured a written promise from Prince Ching to sign, on October 8, a treaty with the United States which will include a guarantee that Mukden and Tatung-Tao shall be open ports. This ends the stubborn resistance of the Chinese to the American proposal. The concession is important in principle and as presuming Russia's intention to evacuate Manchuria. Tibet to be Sized Up. At last the Chinese government has given its consent to a special mission from the British government to visit Lhasa, the remote capital of the secluded land of Tibet in central Asia. Tibet is still a semi-independent state and is the stronghold of a debased form of Buddhism. The interest of this mission is considerable because of the rivalry of Great Britain and Russia for the favor of Tibet. India's Irrigation Program The irrigation commission of India has issued its report, proposing to lay out $150,000,000 in twenty years on protective works and to loan $2,000,000 annually for private irrigation works. In this way it is hoped that the country will avoid the recurrence of famine. German Military Increase. It was unofficially announced at Ber LIGHTNING DISROBES A MAN. Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 2. Art Bruer, a cog road conductor, was struck by lightning on the summit of Pike's Peak during an electrical storm yesterday. He had caught hold of the iron railing to mount the car for descent when a bolt struck him. His clothing was stripped off and he was slightly burned. With the aid of a blanket he was presentable for duty in the descent. Miscellaneous Happenings lin that the emperor had determined to ask the reichstag for an increase of 39,000 men in the permanent military establishment, thus raising the standing army to 647,000 officers and men at an increased annual charge of $9,000,000. Even then Germany's army will be 500,000 behind that of Russia on a peace footing. Russian Captain's Treason. Information has reached the St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Daily Mail concerning a significant incident of the recent strike riots at Kleff. When the soldiers were ordered to fire on the strikers one captain forebade his company to fire on "their poor starving brothers." The captain was at once taken to St. Petersburg tried and sentenced to death. Castro Imprisons Merchants. For refusing President Castro's demand for a repayment of taxes already paid to the de facto government, French, German and Italian merchants at Bolivar have been imprisoned. The amount involved exceeds $65,000. RELIGIOUS Jewish Marriage Regulation. The United Orthodox Rabbis of America have held their second annual convention at Philadelphia. It was decided that hereafter only members of the association or persons authorized by them, would be permitted to perform the ceremonies of divorce and marriage. A committee was appointed to draft a systematic method of teaching the Jewish children in conformity with the sentiment of establishing separate Jewish schools. President's Sunday Address. Before the Brooklyn, N. Y., Society of the Holy Name, in session at Oyster Bay Sunday, President Roosevelt preached on decency of speech and conduct. He said he did not want to see Christianity professed only by weaklings and that strength or courage was not lost by being decent. He said: "I desire to see in this country the decent men strong and the strong men decent." Increase of the Y. M. C. A. The Year Book of the Y. M. C. A. covering the period to May 1, 1903 shows that these associations now possess property valued at $29,000,000 with an indebtedness of less than $4,500,000. There are 6,400 boys in 214 summer camps. Army and Navy work is conducted at 269 points. Positions were secured for nearly 17,000 mer and boys. Color Line In Music. At the recent convention of the Federation of Musicians, held at Indianapolis, it was decided that unions of colored musicians should not be designated as "colored" hereafter. SCIENTIFIC New Wonders of Radium. Prof. Curie has found still another wonderful property of the newly discovered element radium, namely that heat emissions which remain unchanged through a wide range of temperature, from that of an ordinary room to that of liquid air, gives out a greater heat when subjected to the greatest cold known to scientists, liquid hydrogen. These experiments with liquid hydrogen have led to the discovery that a freshly prepared solution of radium has a feeble power of giving off heat at all temperatures but the power steadily increases for about a month, when it reaches its maximum activity, which it then maintains apparently indefinitely. Suicide Automatic. The London Lancet discusses the recent suicide of an English clergyman of 34 years. It says that the act was automatically done and perfectly accountable. It seems the man shot himself after a fall from a bicycle which the Lancet writer concludes caused a kind of cerebral concussion which permitted the sufferer to perform complex and apparently reasonable acts, but quite different from his usual behavior and which he would not remember if he had recovered from the concussion. The sight of the revolver, it is claimed, started the "idea motor," the sequence of which ended in his automatically shooting himself. Kaise's Daughter to Cook. The German emperor has ordered a kitchen to be fitted up in the palace at Potsdam, in which his daughter, Princess Louis, will be taught to cook by the chef of the imperial kitchens. "My daughter must be a model German housewife, a womanly woman of the good, old-fashioned sort," the emperor is reported to have said. EDUCATIONAL Journalistic School Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, has given $2,000,000 to Columbia university for the establishment and endowment of a school of journalism which is to take rank with the department of law, medicine and other professions. A course will be planned to teach theoretical and practical journalism in the hope of providing newspaper proprietors with skilled specialists for their editorial and reportorial staffs. Special courses in economics, political, science, history, law and ethics are prescribed for the new school. The announcement has created wide-spread interest and caused generally favorable comment by the press of the country, notwithstanding that a few years ago any suggestion of such a school was received with derision. Woman's College Motive. In the announcement recently made by William Smith, the rich Geneva, N. Y., nurseryman, that he would devote his whole fortune to founding a new college for women. Mr. Smith's views on the marriage question were not given due prominence. In an interview he says he is founding the college because women know too little about themselves and believes that only nature can really marry a man and a woman, the church never. He continues: "I want the American woman to stop marrying for a living, for position, for title. I want her to be just as independent in choosing a life partner as a man. There is only one way to bring this about. Educate the woman, give her a chance to support herself, and teach her how to pick a man who will make her happy. This will be the portion of the woman who comes to William Smith college." Education In Philippines. David P. Barrows has been chosen to succeed Superintendent of Education Bryan, who resigned on account of illness. Mr. Barrows has been three years engaged in educational work in the Philippines. Those teachers who went to the Philippines under promise to serve two years and who resigned before the end of their term have been blacklisted by the Philippine civil service board, and will not be appointed to other positions. They claim that the government did not give them supplies at as low cost as promised. COMMERCIAL A. New Diamond Field. The recent report of a new diamond area in South Africa, not owned and controlled by the De Beers monopoly, has been positively confirmed by qualified experts, who have made a careful examination. The field is twenty-five milae east of Pretoria and comprises sixty acres similar to that of the Kimberly property. A 1000-foot bore hole has already been sunk into the diamond bearing earth, and the first consignment of precious stones has been received at Johannesberg. It is known as the Premier mine. Garment Makers to Leave. Following the strike of the garment workers employed by Kedansky and Sloan of Chicago, it was announced Tuesday that four of the largest garment manufacturers of that city had decided to remove their establishments in order to escape union domination. If this is true they will take away business worth $2,000,000 a year and throw hundreds of union men out of work. It is said that their example will be followed by all the garment workers of Chicago. Duluth's Great Power Plant. The Great Northern Power company of Duluth, Minn., is about to install an electric power plant which will eventually reach 150,000 horse power, operated by water wheels. A fall of more than 350 feet vertical is secured by bringing the water down a steep hill in a pipe. Energy is to be furnished for the industries of the city, and probably for the mines of the Mesaba range. The first installation will cost $3,500,000. Stuyvesant Fish on Mergers. That a well managed trust will al- Cannon Won't interfere. Speaker-to-be Cannon has publicly contradicted the statement published in Eastern papers that he would kill any currency bill which might be introduced. While admitting that he still believes there is plenty of money in the country, he declares that he has no intention of trying to influence the majority in congress by his appointees on committees. RELIGIOUS SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL ways decrease prices is the gist of an interview given out by Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central railroad. He said that mergers would continue in the interest of economy and could not be prevented any more than you can make water run up hill. He thought the 800 railroads of the country were bound to be centered in twenty or thirty corporations, but declared that the railroads would never be controlled by one man. Neither would the government control them. He cited the case of the Standard Oil trust to show that trusts reduce prices adding, "that no man or company had a monopoly on brains." Cleveland's Power Project. Pursuant to the platform on which Mayor Johnson of Cleveland was elected, an issue of $200,000 in bonds was proposed for the erection of a city electric plant to supply light and power to private consumers. A majority of the council favored it but not the necessary two-thirds, consequently Mayor Johnson proposed to have the matter submitted to the voters at a special election. This was agreed to and the election will be held September 8. INDUSTRIAL Wright for Umpire. Judge Gray, head of the anthracite coal strike commission, appointed former Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright umpire for the conciliation board to pass upon the many questions raised by the coal miners and the operators. It is said the miners approve the appointment. If questions are not disposed of soon, it is feared that there will be serious trouble at some of the collieries. Black List Upheld. In the labor injunction case of the Telegraphers' Union at St. Louis against the Western Union Telegraph company, Judge Rogers of the United States circuit court upheld the company's right to discharge members of unions from their employ, and to notify others employers of such discharge, thus legalizing the "black list" so objectionable to organized labor. Did Arthur Help Monopoly. Henry George, Jr., in his last Sunday's article declared that the late P. M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, assisted railroad trusts and was out of sympathy with the solidarity of labor South Opposes Negro Unions. The Louisiana press has come out unanimously in condemnation of the efforts of the American Federation of Labor to organize the unskilled negro laborers of the South into labor unions. SOCIOLOGICAL Defence of Law's Delay. Defence of Law's Delay. Chief Justice Lore of Deleware, speaking on the subject of mob violence and lynching at Chautauqua, N. Y., said that the claim that delay on the part of the courts is an excuse for brutal lynching was not worthy of consideration. He said that the very fact that the people are mad and frenzied and the mob is at the hoor, calls for a cooling time that reason may resume her throne. When mob spirit rules, he continued, courts of justice should be unyielding in their stand for fain dealing, else they become the mob and executors of vengeance and not of justice. He said the judges had no apology to make for not listening to the suggestions of mob vengeance in the case of George White. He advocated as a cure the appointment of men as sheriffs who would properly defend their jails and shoot to kill if necessary. Nobility of the Red Man. Hamlin Garland, lecturing at the University of Chicago on "The Red Man's Changing Heart," said that Anglo-Saxon civilization was not the only civilization and Christianity not the only religion. He said it was about time for the American people to understand the Indian, who was not a hopeless savage but "the noble red man." The Great Spirit did not intend for all people to live in the same way. The essentials of right living were to be found in many peoples. KILLS 19 BABIES IN DENVER Denver, Col.—(Special)—In the last four days nineteen infants have died in this city from diseases which can be traced to milk preserved with formaldehyde. The records show that only thirty-eight deaths of children under two years of age were reported last year. So far this year seventy-five deaths of children under that age have been reported. MISSAPPROPRIATES LARGE SUM Rare Books and Love of Art Treasures Caused the downfall of Howard T. Goodwin—Sult Begun Against the Suicide's Widow for Accounting of Estate. Philadelphia, Pa., special. — That Howard T. Goodwin, who in December of last year committed suicide in the Arcade building, had during a period of years misappropriated cash, stock, and bonds to the extent of $1,000,000 or more was declared yesterday in a bill in equity filed by Cassett & Co., bankers and brokers. Goodwin was the manager of the firm at the time he committed suicide. Suit was begun in Common Pleas court on behalf of the brokers. It was directed against Lizzie K. Goodwin, executrix of the estate of Goodwin, and asked that she be directed to render an accounting of all property left by her husband. It was alleged in the bill that Goodwin had during his career as the trusted manager of the concern made away with large sums. Only in the extent of the amount was the news of the alleged shortage a surprise. It was known at the time of Goodwin's death that he had been plunging in the stock market. Goodwin's death was a tragic one, and happened under circumstances that gave at first promise of a suspicion of foul play, a shadow that soon disappeared. A few days ago the affairs of Goodwin again came before the public, when his collection of rare books was advertised for sale at auction. The catalogue revealed the fact that tens of thousands of dollars had been expended in gathering together a rare collection. It included among other things three volumes of a special edition of Dickens contracted for at a cost of $130,000. There were to have been 25 volumes in the collection, and $10,000 had been paid down at the time of delivery. Each book is laid in a satin lined box. Thousands of other volumes of special editions of rare first editions, some of them costing thousands of dollars, were in the library. THE CLEVELAND BABY Buzzards Bay, Mass., special. Contrary to the report that the baby boy recently born to Mr. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland had been named Grover Jefferson, it is learned that the baby was not given a name until Monday and that the bouncing boy has been christened Francis Grover Cleveland. It is understood that Mr. Cleveland did not wish that the baby boy be named Grover, but the children, Ruth, Marion, Esther and Richard, wanted to name the baby after their father and mother and when they told Mr. Cleveland their wish he readily granted it, the name Francis being given to the baby in honor of Mrs. Cleveland and Grover in honor of Mr. Cleveland. The children of the Cleveland household are delighted that their little brother has been christened the names that they had chosen for him, for, as a matter of fact, they have been calling the baby Francis Grover since the day he was born. YATES WILL RUN Springfield, Ill., Sept. 2.—Gov. Yates will be a candidate for renomination at the next republican state convention. After yesterday's proceedings in the executive mansion, where the governor entered 190 of his officeholders and friends who would like to be officeholders, none need have any doubt that all that remains is the formal announcement by the governor. It has been practically promised in a few days. It will come in reply to this resolution adopted by the said officeholders and friends: "It is the sense of this meeting that Gov. Richard Yates again become a candidate for renomination and re-election." Perhaps more significant than the meeting is the fact that over at the statehouse seventeen typewriters, paid by the state, are busy getting out and mailing literature intended to strengthen the candidate with "the people." on whom the governor declares he relies, rather than on "the machine." PRINCE TUAN PLOTS WAR Banished Rebel Visits Empress in Conspiracy Against Foreigners. spiracy Against Polegiers.

It is to be much regretted that owing to an error in getting up notices regarding the bond proposition recently submitted to the voters of Columbia, the bonds cannot be sold—hence no building can be done by the board of education, nor can any of the buildings be repaired. It is reported that one of the rooms in the Fred Douglass school building is in a dangerous condition. THE St. Louis Palladium says, "A sheet published at Columbia tried to sling mud at the old board of the U. B. F., which met in Macon last week." The sheet referred to is of course the PROFESSIONAL WORLD, and the Palladium man displayed his ignorance first of all by saying "the old board which met," for the old board did not meet and will never meet again, and if there was any "mud slung" it was slung by the present board, as the PROFESSIONAL WORLD only referred to the committee which showed the mismanagement of affairs by the old board. Of course the Palladium is disgruntled because it can't "work" the present Grand Officers, as it did the old ones, who of course ran things to suit themselves and the Palladium "stood in." The PROFESSIONAL WORLD knows something more about this and will tell it if the Palladium is not satisfied with what has been said already. A FABLE. From Puck. See the Man! How worn he looks! His broad, bulging Brow is wrinkled like the front side of a Washboard and his nose is actually pale with Misery. Who is he, and has he a terrible Pain concealed somewhere about his Person? Oh! He is just an average Statesman, of the kind we usually send to the Legislature because we are tired of having them loafing around. Day before yesterday he discovered a Sensible Paragraph in the Fool Bill he is introducing; and he has been thinking, thinking, thinking, Night and Day, ever since, trying to find a Sub- --- stitute for that one Gleam of Wisdom that will sound Sonorous and mean absolutely Nothing. From this we should Learn several Great Truths, but will not learn any at all. We, you know, are The People and our Voice is the Vox Dei. We already know it all and cannot be taught anything, either by Painful Experience or otherwise; thus it is our invariable Habit to use much less Caution in selecting our Lawmakers than we do in picking out a Watermelon or buying a Calf. ST. LOUIS FALL FESTIVITIES. On Monday evening, September 7th, Pain's latest and greatest spectacle, the "Burning of Rome," will be produced in St. Louis for the first time. This most elaborate out-door spectacle vividly depicts the burning of the Eternal City under the imperial tyrant, Nero. This is the same attraction that ran for six months at Manhattan Beach, New York, last season, and comes to St. Louis in its entirety. Extensive preparations are being made for this great outdoor exhibition at Handlan's Park, Laclede and Grand Avenues, St. Louis. The action will take place on a grand stage 600 feet long, and will be participated in by some 400 people. In the massive scenic picture of Rome over 15000 square yards of canvas are used, and the exhibition covers five acres of ground. Twelve large railway cars are required to transport the scenery and effects of Pain's "Burning of Rome," and each evening $2,000 worth of fireworks will be displayed. APOSTROPHE TO THE COW. From an Exchange O, thou gentle heifer, daughter of thy mother and despoiler of garden truck, thou bringest grief to our hearts and Blue John to our coffee. We hail thee with a fence board and things like that. Thou goest forth in the night and seeketh the open gate. Thou wanderest in by forbidden paths beside the unripe cucumber. Thou smelleth of the blushing beets and trampeth on the lettuce. Moreover, thou peerest into the rain barrel and drinketh thereof. The man, neither the woman, wottest not of thy goings or thy comings. Thou spiest out the onion bed and lieth down thereon while thou chewest the cud like a summer girl. Bimeby thou liftest up thy voice and bawthou. Then trouble suddenly overtaketh thee. The man riseth up in anger and a balbriggan suit. He hiketh out and seteth up an old hoe handle and smiteth thee sore on thy porterhouse. 'Tis then thou histeth thy tail and getteth thee out. Thou scootest up a darksome alley and maketh thy gateway. The man seeketh after and desireth thy postoffice address, but findeth it not. 'Tis well. Hads't he discovered thy abiding place he woulds't have chewed the rag with the inhabitants thereof and gone home with his nose on bias and a purple dural under his eye. ROYALTY RIDES ON COAL CARS. During the pre-exposition period at St. Louis, distinguished guests escorted through the Exposition grounds by World's Fair officials are carried on coal cars. Every considerable party of visitors have enjoyed the pleasant innovation and likewise representatives of kings and presidents and potentates of various other appellations. The cars are decorated with the red, white and blue bunting and plank seats along the sides furnish excellent observation opportunity. The roadway leads from the administration entrance, on the extreme west of the grounds, around the circular boundary of the main exhibit portion, past the Mines and Metallurgy building, the art building and finally to the Missouri building. It was over this route that the Missouri Press Association was carried last Thursday afternoon, when it officially visited the state building. Missouri is one place, at least, where royalty rides on coal cars and enjoys the experience. Mrs. MRS. HATTIE WILLIAMS. Vice-Grand Princess of S. M. T. of Missouri. STRANGE STORY OF A SONG. "The Holy City" Was First Sung by Florence Maybrick. From the New York Press. Few who have felt their religious enthusiasm stirred by the glorious strains of "The Holy City," a song which has been more successful than any of its class since "The Lost Chord," are aware of the strange romance attached to its early history. The first voice to raise the inspiring cry of "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! sing for the night is o'er!" was that of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the murderess. At this time, when it is rumored that the American woman who has spent thirteen years in an English prison may soon be liberated, these words seem to have a special significance. Stephen Adams, the composer not only of "The Holy City," but a hundred other popular successes, such as "Nancy Lee," "A Warrior Bold," "The Blue Alsatian Mountains" and the Midshipmite," is in real life Michael Maybrick, a baritone vocalist, and a brother of the man whom Mrs. Maybrick was convicted of murdering. The Maybricks were sons of a wealthy Liverpool manufacturer. The younger; Michael, chose a musical career, while the elder remained in commerce and married a young American girl. He was an enthusiastic yachtman, and aboard his elegant little vessel, usually moored in the Mersey, many enjoyable musical evenings were spent, Michael, the composer and singer, often being of the merry party. It was on one of these occasions that Mrs. Maybrick's brother-in-law produced the manuscript of this new song he had just composed. It was "The Holy City." Sitting at the piano in the little cabin, he prevailed upon his sister-in-law, Florence, to try it over. She was a good musician and read at sight. Thus her voice was the first to sing the song which afterwards achieved phenomenal success. But this did not come at once. The occasion referred to was about the year 1888. Michael Maybrick tells the story of how the publishers rejected "The Holy City again and again because it was too somber in tone. From him they wanted another "Nancy Lee" or "Blue Alsatian Mountains." Meantime, the woman who had first sung it was convicted of murder, sentenced to death and finally sent to prison for life. GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF. A report of the Geological Survey shows the production of petroleum for 1902 to be greater by 11,100,000 barrels than for the previous year. Challenger and defender again meet in yacht race for American cup; prospects favor fresh winds. Lipton declares he will never challenge again. The Little Bonne Femme Baptist Association, in session at Sturgeou, Mo., adopted resolutions commending the work of Circuit From the New York Press. Attorney Joseph W. Folk and endorsing him for governor. Missouri editors adopt resolutions calling for a committee to examine membership roll of Missouri press association, with a view to eliminating from it all who have been mentioned in booding connection. The trial of Senator B. H. Matthews will be continued when called for trial at Jefferson City Monday. This course is necessitated by reason of it being impossible to have Senator Farris present as a witness. The case of Caleb Powers, indicted for complicity in the Goebel killing, was given to the jury Friday evening. The defendant spoke over six hours in his own behalf. The verdict was guilty, and Powers must hang for the murder of Gov. Goebel. WHEN A LIE IS NOT A LIE. An exchange asks the question, When is a lie not a lie? Another exchange answers the question thus: When you kiss the bruised flesh of a baby's finger and tell him it will hurt no more. When you tell the dear sick, looking with eager eyes toward the shore of health, how bright they look and how they improve every day. When the doctor with happy smiles assures the patient that he is on the "mend" and will soon be out. When the captain on the wide waste of sea with a sinking ship calms the frantic fear until he can launch the boats. When the boy of the cross roads in New Jersey, who was asked by the red coas which way Washington went, pointed in the opposite direction. When the genius of the world weaves fiction that enriches all mankind and leads them to the highway of eternal light. Indeed, the line between truth has puzzled mighty men for ages. The recent state democratic convention in Ohio, which resulted in the unanimous nomination of Tom L. Johnson for governor, clearly demonstrated that the political growth of that noble and patriotic statesman, William Jennings Bryan, has by no means degenerated, for his worthy doctrines were enthusiastically endorsed at the assemblage. Notwithstanding two consecutive defeats for the presidency, Mr. Bryan will be handed down to posterity as one of America's greatest men, and thus it should be. The Princeton (Ind.) Clarion prints this among its stock items: W. W. Wilkinson, of Cynthiana, has bought a valuable hog of the Poland China breed, and has had the same placed on his stock farm. The animal is but one year old and weighs 650 pounds. The animal was shipped by express. Mr. Wilkinson paid $8,800. Lord Salisbury, the eminent English statesman, and last of the great diplomats of the past generation, died Saturday after a lingering illness. He was born in 1830 and his life was marked by great achievements in the line of diplomacy. He was Premier of the English government following Gladstone.
