THE RICHMOND PLANET VOL. XXI NO. 40. METHODIST CHURCH ACTS PROMPTLY. LYNCHERS CALLED TO CONFESS. They Must Leave the Church or Express Penitence. Statesboro, Ga., Sept. 7.—The Methodist Episcopal Church has passed resolutions unanimously calling on every participant in the lynching of Reed and Cato last month to resign membership in the church unless "a public confession of wrong be made with expression of penitence and contrition." The resolutions denounce the burning of the negroes in very strong language, and state that the church wishes to be put on record as unalterably opposed to mob violence, calling it "a shameless violation of law." The Rev. Whitley Langston, who at the court of inquiry gave names of several participants in the mobbing and has been strongly censured by citizens, is upheld and commended in the resolutions for his "Christian conduct."

Plea for Negro Reformatory Richmond, Va., Aug. 27th, 1904. Editor of the PLANET: The writer was highly honored this week in being one of a quartette, composed of our excellent Gov. Montague. Pengressman John Lamb and Dr. Frazer. Zion University, where interesting visit to the Negro Reformatory near Hanover Court House, where RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1904. we were met by its President, John Snythe and driven two miles to this noble institution. A visit will dispel all doubts of the "Thomases" as to the proper care of these boy criminals under age, seven to sixteen years. To many "seeing is believing." Thereore allow me to again urge your good people to pay this place a visit, feel sure of its effect. A noble good man gave 1800 acres of fine land. What they need and in fact want is the milk of human kindness along with further means (dollars and cents). We believe the Negro Reformatory is doing a great and noble work. I have appealed to all alike, white and black to come up to the help of the Lord in this matter, and believe me. Yours respectfully. LUTHER B. VAUGHAN. Personals and Briefs Mrs. John A.

Connected with the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., offers exceptional opportunities to young men wishing to prepare for the Christian ministry. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to give young colored men and women a comprehensive knowledge of the entire English Bible and to implant in their hearts a noble ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their people. The students are required to do missionary work in the various churches and Sunday Schools near the Institution. In this way they have been very helpful to the neighboring communities. The teaching of the Bible School is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work now being done, but rather to assist all denominations. Phelps Hall, the building in which the school is taught, was given by a generous New York friend. It is a frame structure three stories high, containing a chapel, library, reading room, and the office of the Dean, with three recitation rooms; besides forty rooms for corrugative purposes. Rev. Edgar J. Penney is the Dean. He is assisted by Rev. E. P. Johnson and Rev. J. H. Cadson. Rt. Rev. Geo. and Dinton, of Charlotte, N. C., and Dr. H. T. Johnson, of Philadelphia, Pa. deliver regular courses of lectures during the term. Rev. Moses Jackson, of the Presbyterian Church, Chicago, delivered a special course of lectures during the past term. The teaching is free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel, washing, etc., is $8.50 per month. Students will be given an opportunity to work out from $1.50 to $3.00 of this amount, thus leaving only from $5.50 to $7.00 to be paid in cash. In some cases arrangements may be made so that students may work out the whole amount. Lack of means need debar none. For further information address BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Prin. Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee Institute, THE JAPANESE ARE PURSUING KUROPATKIN Russian Retreat Impeded by Heavy Roads and Floods. BURNED BRIDGES BEHIND THEM Oyama's Forces Are Following Step By Step, and Rear Fighting Is Continuous—General Attack On Port Arthur Expected. Tokio, Sept. 7.—It is officially announced that a portion of the Russian force remains at Ying-Shui-Su, south of Yental, where the bulk of the Russian army is assembled. It was reported earlier in the day that Kuroki had occupied ental. There is no doubt, however, that he is in the neighborhood of the place. Retreating Under Heavy Pressure. Mukien, Sept. 7.—A Russian correspondent of the Associated Press supplies the following: "Our retreat is being carried out under heavy pressure and with the Japanese on our heels. The task is additionally difficult owing to the terrible condition of the roads and the rivers, which are flooded. "The fighting has now been almost continuous since August 24, and how much longer it will last it is impossible to say, as the initiative is in the hands of the Japanese. "The number of lives sacrificed and the loss of supplies by burning, bridges being blown up, etc., can only be explained when we once more have concentrated, and this will occupy us for Bulk of Russian Army at Yentai. NO NEWS FROM KUROPATKIN Intense Anxiety Prevails Throughout Russian Empire. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—There has been no news from General Kuropatkin since Monday afternoon. This is attributed to the interruption of direct communication with the commander-in-chief, owing to the transfer of the telegraph office to Mukden, whither messages have to be sent by courier. The utmost confidence prevails at the war office that the Russian army is slowly but surely effecting the retreat without serious risk of being cut off. None the less intense anxiety is felt throughout the whole nation, and this feeling is shared by the emperor. His majesty is unwilling at such a juncture to absent himself from Peterhof and has countermanded all proposed journeys. He will not go to Warsaw or Libau, and remains closed for hours with his military advisers. It is believed that the outcome of these deliberations will be an order to mobilize several more army corps. A Russian correspondent of the Associated Press sent a message from Mukden Tuesday evening, more than 24 hours after the dispatch of General Kuropatkin's last published message. This correspondent gives no details of the retreat, and the ceasor is probably not allowed to authorize the transmission of this news until the commander-in-chief sends his report. The correspondent points out in his dispatch that the Russian forces are followed step by step by the Japanese and are greatly impeded by heavy roads and floods. He adds: "It is impossible to say how long the fighting will continue, as the initiative is in the hands of the Japanese." The correspondent does not conceal the fact that the Russians are undergoing a severe ordeal, but he says that the courage of the troops remains undiminished. St. Petersburg is full of the wildest rumors, some claiming that Kuropatkin's rear guard has been annihilated; that Kuropatkin has been taken prisoner, and that Port Arthur has fallen. These alarmist reports were circulated on the bourse and at one time threatened to cause a panic. Kuropatkin has three roads over which he is marching towards Mukden, besides the double-tracked railway. The latter is chiefly occupied in the transportation of guns and of equipment, of which there is a great quantity. The soldiers are marching in light order, and most of the wounded have already been dispatched north by rail. General Kuropatkin, in a telegram to the general staff, filed at 1 p. m., September 5, north of Yental, says the Japanese on Sunday engaged his rear guard south of Yental, the fight continuing until Monday. The telegram details the precautions taken to checkmate the Japanese flankers. Kuropatkin estimates his losses up to and including September 4, at 16,000. This is considered to be a very conservative figure. The loss to the Japanese probably will be double this number, owing to their position as attackers. Kuropatkin says nothing regarding the loss of guns, but it is probable that some of the heavier emplaced guns at Liao Yang had to be abandoned. BATTLE LIKELY AT YENTAI Desperate Resistance of Russians Prey anted, Overwhelming, Disconcert vented Overwhelming Disaster. Tokio, Sept. 7.—An extended report from Field Marshal Oyama, the Japanese commander-in-chief in the field, was received in Tokio and made public. It is largely devoted to a review of the fighting which took place between August 24 and September 4. The announcement that the Russians still retain possession of the Yenta collieries indicates a strong possibility of a battle there. Yental is the only colliery in northern Manchuria, and its possession is of vital importance to the Russians in connection with the operation of the railroad. Field Marshal Oyama reports that a portion of the Russian troops held Yingshiissu, south of Yentai, and that General Kuroki's right is in close touch with the Russians. He announces also that the left and centre Japanese armies, under the command of a general Oku and Nodzu, have halted on the left bank of the Tailie river, and that it is his intention to dispatch them to occupy the heights north of Muchang and along the railroad. General Kuropatkin burned all the railroad bridges over the Tailie river. The report says that the exact number of Japanese losses since August 25 is not known at present but that the casualty lists are being compiled. The field marshal projects that the losses will prove heavy. The report does not mention the number of guns taken, but it is known that 16 guns were captured at Auping and Anshanshan, and earlier reports mentioned the capture and use against the railroad station at Liao Yang of certain 10 centimetre canet guns. General Kuroki encountered desperate opposition in the battle on the heights to the west of Helyingtal, where he fought continuously and fiercely for four days before he succeeded in dislodging the Russians. It is manifest that the stubbornness of the Russian defense at Helyingtal saved the Russian line of retreat and averted overwhelming disaster. REPORT OF LIAO YANG EIGHT Delayed Dispatch Tells of Furious Japanese Attacks. Yental, Sept. 3 (delayed by the sensor).—A Russian correspondent of the Associated Press, who has just arrived here from Liao Yang, gives some details of the final assault on that place. He says: "At the time of the Japanese bombardment of the railroad station, the ambulances were in the rear of the station, from where it was impossible to move them. A sarirapnel shell, which burst over the station, wounded two nurses, one of whom has since died. "The hottest fighting was on August 30 and 31, when the repeated assaults of the enemy were all repulsed. "The 34th and 35th regiments of the ninth division, and the 23d regiment of the eastern division, were particularly hard pressed and were several times reinforced. Ammunition could not be brought quickly enough, and the men at times actually stoned their assailants. "Many companies had all of their officers killed or wounded, and the men fought under non commissioned officers. "Many of the Japanese wounded fell into the Russian trenches and could not possibly be removed when the retreat commenced and had to be abandoned. Others more unfortunate fell between the lines and we could not bring them in. The Japanese could not remove them, and they lay most of the day and night exposed in the line of fire. Their cries and groans, which were heartrending, could be distinctly heard. Our skirmishers fell on many of them while pursuing the retreating Japanese, and when they could gave water to them, but had to leave them to be run over by the succeeding waves of the Japanese attacks. "There was a bull in the fighting on August 31. General Morozovsky, who was on the firing line the whole time, sat down with a Cossack picket in the shelter of the trees for a cup of tea and a biscuit. The Japanese artillery suddenly swept the woods with their fire and a shell burst, wounding the general in the leg and tearing off his orderly's arm." FIRING HEART AT PORT ARTHUR Chefoo, Sept. 7.—Firing at Port Arthur was heard here last night. Two Chinese interpreters, belonging to the official household of Lleutenant Gen- RICHMOND eral Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur, have been caught spying at Shushiyen and Balungshan. They were executed by the Japanese. Chinese who arrived here from Port Arthur declare that the Russian garrison expects a general land and sea attack today. On September 2 and 3 the Japanese bombarded the fortifications severely, and two Russian guns on a fort near Rihlungshan were dismounted. The recent entrance into Port Arthur of a large steamship carrying provisions, chiefly flour, has resulted in the reduction of the price of flour from $5 to $2 a bag. Japs Losses at Port Arthur 25,000. London, Sept. 5.—The Cheeto correspondent of the Daily Chronicle in a dispatched September 3 saps that 14 regiments will leave Tokyo during the week to replace the men lost outside Port Arthur alone. The losses at this point are estimated at 25,000. VON PLEHVE'S SUCCESSOR Senator Platonoff Appointed Russian Minister of Interior Minister of Interior. St. Petersburg, Sept. 6. — Senator Platonoff, a member of the council of the empire, has been appointed minister of the interior and chief of the Russian police, in succession to the late M. Plehve. Asassain Did Not Escape St. Petersburg, Sept. 6.—There is no truth in the statement, printed in London, that Sassonoff, the manager of Interior Minister Von Plehue, has succeeded in escaping from plea on. Potato Sugs Hold Up Trolley Car. Uxbridge, Mass., Sept. 1. An army of potato bugs stopped an Uxbridge and Blackstone trolley car. It tolk the car crew 15 minutes to spread enuga sand on the rails so that the car could get up headway. The bugs were emigrating from a large potato field toward Milville. Life Savers Rescue Six Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 6.—The Barnegat lite saving crew rescued Captain John Adams, Mate John Erickson and four other seamen, who were thrown into the sea by the overturning of a launch. The party was fishing near the bar off Barnegat. The names of the other four men are not known. TWO KILLED IN STREET BATTLE Four Others Injured. One Fatality, In Shooting Attack Over Store Bill. Huntington, W. Va., Sept. 6.—As a result of an attempt to collect a long standing bill by a clerk in a country store at Green Shoals, 20 miles south of here on the Guan river, Allen Brumfield, justice of the peace, and William Adams were killed, George Mead fatally injured and John Lambert seriously injured, and two brothers of Lambert, who escaped and have disappeared, are supposed to be injured. The fight may result in another bloody feud being added to those already existing in this part of the country. The fight started over an attempt of Lambert, who was clerk in a country store at Green Sheals, to collect a long standing account against Adams. The men engaged in an argument over the account in the street several days ago. Adams was with friends at the time, and after heated words he struck Lambert, who was alone. Lambert did not fight, but yesterday, while with his two brothers, he came upon Adams in company with George Mead. The fight was renewed upon sight, all three men being heavily armed. The firing opened in the street, and the men were almost enveloped in a cloud of smoke. Brumfield rushed between the faction with hands uplifted, unarmed and crying "Stop, boys, stop." Caught between the cross fire of the two opposing factions, he dropped to the ground dead. Adams just before Brumfield came upon the scene had been shot to death, four bullets having pierced his body. Mead was lying on the ground with two bullets in his body and firing as he lay on his side. John Lambert was found lying on the mountain side almost senseless by a deputy sheriff. The two brothers of John Lambert, who are wounded, escaped to the mountains and are being hunted by several posses. SHOT DEAD IN MOTHER'S ARMS La Grange, N. C., Sept. 5.—William Exum shot and killed his stepson, Guy Walstin, at their home, about two miles from Institute, on John H. Dawson's farm. A difficulty arose, and Exum went to the bureau drawer, took out his pistol and shot Walstin through the chest. The young man rushed into his mother's arms for protection, when Exum placed the muzzle of the weapon against Walstin's head and fired, blowing his brains out. Exum is at liberty. He and Walstin's mother were married 'ast Christmas. HOW LABOR DAY WAS OBSERVED 23,000 Workmen March in Two Parades in Philadelphia. CELEBRATIONS IN OTHER CITIES Philadelphia, Sept. 6.—With a wave of his baton, Chief Marshal Frank Feeney gave the signal for 20,000 men to march in honor of the day set aside by act of assembly as Labor Day. Besides this one great parade a number of smaller ones were held, and the beat of drums and the music of many bands resounded in all parts of the city. There were plenty of floats and wagons in the procession and they typified labor's likes and dislikes most picturesque. After dismissal the workers by thousands made their way to Fifth and Wyoming streets to indulge in games and other pastimes and to listen to speeches appropriate to the day. The giant procession was made up of members of the Allied Building Trades Council and the Allied German Trades. Half an hour before the big parade took up its line of march from Broad street and Girard avenue, a parade of 3000 men started from Broad and Brown streets. It was composed of the Journeymen House Painters, the Structural Iron Workers, Steam Fitters and their helpers, Light Star Lodge of Hod Carriers, while the officers of the Stone Cutters' Union were in barouches. The route of this parade was down Broad street to Locust, countermarch to Chestnut, to Delaware avenue, to Arch street, where a steamer walled which conveyed them to Washington Park. There the day was given over to speechmaking and sports of various kinds. The same orators addressed the Washington Park gathering as appeared at Central Park. Split Over Non-Union Band Wilkesbarre, Pa. Sept. 6.—There was much confusion and some excitement over the celebration of Labor Day in this city. A band of musicians, said to be made up of non-union men, was employed by one of the labor unions. Some of the other unions refused to march behind it. The result was two parades. Some of the unions paraded in one section of the city and others took a different route. The affair caused much hard feeling in the ranks of labor. 35,000 In Line In Buffalo Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 6.—A parade in which 35,000 men took part was the feature of the Labor Day celebration here. The parade was followed by races and other sports. Big Day at Boston.

Ehrenfort, proprietor of the Mineral Springs hotel, just outside of Willow Grove Park, was robbed of over $2000 in cash, which included the receipts of Saturday and Sunday. While the guests of the hotel were at dinner the thief crept stealthily upstairs, broke the lock on the door leading to the private apartments of the proprietor and obtained the money from several boxes in the closet. THE PLANET SATURDAY...SEPTEMBER 10.1904 THE DAIRY BUILDING A SMALL SILO. Not Such a Wonderful Undertaking If You Know Just When and Where to Begin. In my experience I have seen all kinds shapes, sizes and material to date I do not know of anything better than the common 2x4 of commerce. A sld 4 feet in diameter will feed 20 cows, 16-foot 30 cows, and a 25-foot 60 cows with no loss. We will now suppose that you are ready to build the silo. The site is selected as near as possible to the managers. The site is laid off with a board, a half as big as the intended silo. A pin in end of board driven in center of foundation and a peg in the other end to mark circle, will lay foundation mark for foundation ditch. By moving pin in from outside circle 18 inches, the inside line of the foundation is made. Excavate to a depth of 18 or 20 inches. Fill in with broken rock to level of ground. Make cement thin enough to run freely between these rocks and fill to level of ground, then brick or rock can be used PLAN OF ROUND SILO. to carry the foundation six or eight inches above level for sill Have ten-inch boards cut in segments of the circle of inside diameter of foundation. Enough of this lumber should be cut for a sill of four thicknesses. Bed the first course in mortar. Break joints with the second layer, painting first course well with coal tar. Paint second course and nail in a few places with six or eight penny nails. Then lay third course and nail to other sections with ten penny nails; fourth course same way. You are now ready to build the silo. Set up four 4x6 hardwood timbers, at equal distances around the sill, and spike securely to sill. Then plumb and brace well. Begin by setting up 2x4's b, just as you come from the lumber yard. No beveling necessary. Have one man at top of scaffold, one in middle and a man at the bottom. Have 60-penny spikes ready, and as a 2x4 is set up, spike through its side into its adjoining mate in four or five places. If the lumber is quite dry, it is well to toenail to sill as well. Spiking the 2x4's together as above, allows one to go right on and build silo without bothering with hoops, until the silo is complete. Before putting up the silo, lay the 2x4's on a level place, close together flat down. Then take an old broom or whitewash brush and paint with coal tar. Let them lie for a day or two, then turn over and paint same as before. Paint the edges in same way. In doing this you have a silo that will last about as long as you will want one. The hoops, d, can be one-half or five-eighths inch iron. Each hoop is in four sections. To reach through the 4x6 timbers, have threads cut six or eight inches on each end. Use cast iron washers. To make doors: Go inside of silo. Take pieces cut out and nail together with barrel staves. These doors will be held in place by pressure of the silage. Don't spend a cent on cement or other bottoms. Cement will not preserve the silage as well as the ground—E. N. Cobb, in Farm and Home. EFFECT OF SOIL ON MILK. English Scientist Advances a New Theory Which May Be Worth Thinking About. The surprising assertion is made by an English scientist that the class of soil on which the hay or pasture grass is grown controls to a large extent the quality of the milk. Americans will be slow in accepting the statements in behalf of such a doctrine. It will do no harm, however, to note the points that the said scientist thinks he brings out. He claims, in the first place, that milk from grass grown on a limestone soil will be richer than on a clay soil, even though all treatment of the cows is the same. But we have frequently noted that the English still have the idea that the richness of the milk continually varies according to the richness of the feed. This idea is being constantly brought out in one way and another there, the local judges even letting off the milkmen that sell milk below the required percentage of solids, the milk producers having made the plea that the feed was poor in quality. Again, the man referred to declares that milk made on limestone soil will keep 50 per cent, longer than that made on clay soils, other things being equal. He asserts that in the making of cheese the milk has to be scalded at not less than 108 degrees if it is made on clay, while if it is made on limestone soil the scalding can be done at 110 degrees. He does not try to envisin the causes of those remarkable differences, but guesses that perhaps the micro-organisms in the clay soil are different from the micro-organisms in the other soil. Unfortunately, the gentleman does not furnish the verified data to prove his assertions. —Farmers' Review. RATTLERS MILKED THE COW. Vermont Farmer Makes a Discovery Which Surprised Him and His Neighbors as Well. Simeon Johnson, a farmer of Tyson, Vt., made a discovery recently which so surprised him that he has spread the marvelous tale from one end of the county to the other. For several months Sim has known that some one or something has been stealing milk from his pet Jersey cow. His good wife told him that the Jersey had simply dried up and that he was "afflicted with a spell of imagination." Sim, however, declared that he knew that he knew, and sat up nights to discover the thief. But he saw no invaders, and the more sleep he lost the madder he got. The Jersey was one of a herd of 20, and as her milk was richer than that of the others the supply was saved for family use. She was quartered in a stall at the end of the cow stable and until three months ago gave four quarts morning and night. Then she suddenly cut down her morning quota to little or nothing. Sim would have agreed with his wife if Bess hadn't furnished the usual amount at night and seemed ravenously hungry. It made no difference whether Sim watched or not; the milk was always gone in the morning, although it was several times established that at midnight the supply was normal. It was this fact more than anything else that bothered Sim and gave him creepy and uncanny sensations when he kept his vigils by the dim, uncertain light of an old kerosene lantern. He couldn't figure out why Bess should not give milk in the morning when there was plenv at midnight, or why she should be well supplied at night and not at the early milking. "I don't believe there is anything milkin' that cow," said Mrs. Johnson one day recently, "but if there is it crawls, and you won't catch it unless you clean out the bedding so you can see the stall floor." Sim allowed there might be something in this, and so he swept out the stall and made Bess He on the planks instead of on a fine bed of clean straw. About nine o'clock he got his lantern and once more took up his post of vigil. He had begun to doze when he heard Bess shift her position, and he held up the light. He was just in time to see a long, glistening, sinuous form slip from under the side of the reclining cow and glide down a rat-hole in the corner of the stall. At the same time he heard a familiar sound that caused his hair to stand on end. "Rattlesnakes." he gurgled, and grabbed a pitchfork. Bess jumped to her feet and moored contentedly as the farmer advanced cautiously and began a careful investigation. There was but one rat-hole. This led to a pile of rocks under the barn, and Sim retired to the house. In the morning, with the help of the hired man, the rocks were removed, and five rattlers, each three times its natural size, were killed. According to the number of rattles, all but one was young, but exceedingly large and fat.—N. Y. World. CALF FEEDING MADE EASY You have probably fallen often from grace in feeding that irrepressible calf, either with the spume or froth with which he lathered your face or ruined a good suit of clothes. I have devised a little plan which enables me to feed a calf and still re- either with the spume or froth with which he lathered your face or ruined a good suit of clothes. I have devised a little plan which enables me to feed a calf and still remain out of his reach. Cut a hole in the wall between the calf pen and feeding alley. Build a braced shelf, as shown in the cut. Hinge one edge of it to one side of the opening, as shown at a. This shelf may be swung in to the feeding alley and the bucket placed on the shelf, secured by rope and swung into the calf pen, where it may be readily fastened with a hook. When pail is removed a button prevents the calf from getting his head out through the opening.—R. M. Winthrop, in Farm and Home STOCK AND DAIRY NOTES For hog pastures woven wire is the best fencing material. No man should attempt to raise hogs without adequate fencing of yards and pastures. The portable hog house is coming into very general favor, especially in disease infested districts. Sweet cream butter is coming much into use in this country. This kind of butter is not made, as might be supposed from the name, from cream from sweet milk, but is generally made of ripened cream. It is called sweet because it is not salted. A cow must be a very poor milker not to respond to good feed and good care. Good feeding can greatly increase the milk-producing powers of the cows we have, but only to the limit of their natural capacity. Many of our cows are being fed so unscientifically that they have never been brought up to their full capacity.—Farmers' Review. When Milk Cans Get Rusty. Don't keep throwing away money patching rusty milk-cans, when at best they will last but a little longer; such a practice is decidedly disastrous to the quality of the milk. Throw them away and get some good, new cans, well tinned. Always empty them as soon as they return from the creamy; wipe dry after washing and give them a daily sun bath. Given this treatment, a good can ought to last seven or eight years.—Midland Farmer. Usual Trouble.

When he paused ab- ruptly before the clock and suffered his jaws to relax, the spectacular re- @ults were even worse. He glared vin- dictively at the placid timepiece and gnawed fiercely his heavy mustache. “Four o'clock! four o'clock!" he ex- claimed, “and this is her last day!” ‘The sentence ended in something like a groan. “Well,” replied a voice near at hand, “there must be last days for everybody ‘and every-hing.” The voice was full and musical, with a shading of melan- choly. The speaker stood in the deor- way, hat and cane in hand. “If this were my last day of bachelorhood, 1 @ou't think I could have stated it so ‘woefully,norhave I put as much despair into the sentence. How are you, Frank? Why, what is the matter?” he continued, entering the room slowly as the other remained motionless, gaz ing silently towards him, “Don't know me? Sorry to ace me? You are glar- ing!” “Dick Somers!” The name burst from the doctor's lips, and he rushed ‘on his visitor, seizing and wringing the proffered hand. Again he stopped, his whole soul in his face and eyes. “Well,” said Somers, cheerfully, “what is on your mind, old man? Five years is a long time and Paris was a ‘Bay place; but five years and Richmond are not enough, surely, to effect such e@ change as this! And I shall have use again for that hand, perhaps, bones and all, so—" “The last days of your bachelorhoba You said the last days of your bach- elorhood, did you not? Then you are still a bachelor, Dick?” “Well, yes,” and Somers smiled wist- folly into his friend's face. “The same old Brodnar,” he continued, “headlong, enthusiastic, impetuous!

You are treating me lightly, and Iam desperate- dy in earnest.” “Well, then, old fellow, I will answer you seriously. There is no reason on God's earth why I may not marry to- night. No heart will break, no trust be shattered, no one will care. Yes, one—my mother,” He lifted his fine face towards his friend. It wore again the characteristic half-wistful, half- mocking smile. “You would not care, either, Dick? Not if by marrying you obliged a friend whe loves you? Not if by marrying you enabled him to defeat a piece of Villainy planned against the Mie and welfare of one of his dear friends? Not if it defeated a cowardly enemy? Ok, don't you sce my whole soul Is ia this matter?” ‘The doctor resumed his agitated pacing. “Wouldn't it be best for me to kill him—in some genteel way—say—" “No; Killing is still a erime, but mat- Fimony isn't—(hough often more im- moral, And killing would settle with ut one, while matrimony wipes out the whole crowd." “Which, anfortunately, incfudes wie, WET erisatens eather eas “Of course, it is absurd, Dick,” be said, coming back, “and is obliged to strike you so; but, do you know, I be- lieve that friendship is the one undy- ing bond of our race.

In such a friendship, Dick, self perishes. We look into the eyes of our friend and say ‘Command!’ We do not question; we trust implicitly, blindly; and if we err—" “Life is black forever!” Somers had arisen, and, taking his friend’s hand, was regarding with affection his flushed face. “That is Frank Brodnar indeed,” he continued. “You mean it, my dear fellow; and Iam satisfied that if after five years of separation Ishould enter this room and say: ‘My boy, if you have no previous engagement and the way is clear, you will do me a great kindness by stepping down the street and letting me marry you out of hand to a friend who is being or has been vie- timized’—wait, I am in earnest—you would take up your hat, smooth your hair, and join me before I reached the street or you had remembered The madam and babies at home.

More than this I may not tell you." Somers had leaned forwaru upon the table and was looking with deep interest Into the speaxer's face. “It sounds like an Elizabethan ro- manee, er a chapter from ‘Don Caesar de Bayan.’ I am approaching par.” And then he added gravely: “You have not forgotten that my mother and yours were somehow cousins, and—" “I have not.

It seemed to me an ordinary Ohio back- ‘woods brush heap, but men of more ex- perience said it was a battery hidden by innocent looking brushwood, and dis Positions were made to attack it. We opened fire at long range, but there was no reply, Then we closed in, firing as we ran forward. “Our blood was up and we were ready for a charge when there came from the brushwood three large biacksnakes, or mountain racers. ‘There was confusion in the ranks, and then a wild chase after the snakes.

CLAIMS MEDAL OF HONOR. After a Lapse of Forty Years John Hayes Sends to Washington for Rare Decoration, For nearly 40 years a United States congressional medal of honor awarded to one John Hayes for distinguished services on the old frigate Kearsarge tu her historic battle with the confederate Milp “Alabama his been Tying safe Te the bureau of navigation. at Washing- ton, waiting to be claimed by the man to whom it was awarded by con- gress, Rusty, with its ribbon frayed and moth-eaten, this medal has at last been sent to its owner, who, after ail these Years of silence, recently wrote to the navy depariment ciniming the medal. Its existence had been forgotten until the arrival a few days ago of a letter from Muscoda: Grant county, Wis., from & man 70 years old, who wrote that he had just learned through the accidental Feading of an old navy ceneral order, dated 1864. that John Hayes. coxwain of the frigate Kearsarze. lat been awarded a medal of honor for distin= guished conduct in battle. He said in his letter to the depart- ment that be was the only John Hayes who served on the Kearsarge in the fa- mous battle with the Alabama, and that it must be he who is entitied to the medal. He forwarded his enlistment, and discharge papers, which showed conclusively that bis claim was just. An investigation was made by the bu- Teau of navigation and the oid medal was found in the archives of the de- partment. It was forwarded to Mr. Hayes, with a letter from the secre- tary of the navy, saying that he Is en- titled to $100 bounty. which he can have as soon as he forwards the prop- er affidavits. It is believed that this money will be quite acceptable, as the old salior wrote in his letter that he was physically nnable to work, and de- pended for his living solely on his pen- sion of $12. month. One of the most remartable features Of this ease is the fact that Mr. Hayes? enlistment papers were sizned by the late Rear Admiral Belknap. whose son is now on duty in the burean of navl- gation, and his discharge papers and Tecommendation for the medal were signed by the late Capt. John A. Wins- low, whose nephew is also on duty in the burean of navization ard who signed the letter forwarding the medal to the nayal veteran. THIS CORPSE WAS LIVELY. Tt Cost a iolly Soldier a Week's Pay to Scaare Himself for an Absurd Joke. An old v.teran of Chicago tells this story: I came very near getting killed in camp once by two colored boys, Four or five fellows on our skirmish line had been shot during a sudden raid by confederate cavalry, and thelr bodies were brought in and iaid right fn front of the regimental hospital tent. My orderly sergeant discovered two of our men among the killed, so T directed him to have the bodies taken to our company headquarters for burial. He deputed two colored carriers at- tached to the relief corps to bring them up, and while they went off for a stretcher L asked my lieutenant and several other officers who stood by me if they wanted to see some fun. Of course they did. So T told them to watch me, and, running over to where the dead privates lay, I raised the blanket and slipped in between them, Nearly all the colored men attached to the relief corns had a great aversion to handling corpses; in fact, it is a characteristic of the race, and, although many of overcome the fecling owing toa forced familiarity, still the superstition was always near the surface, When the carriers returned with the stretcher I lay stiff as a ramrod with my eyes closed. T heard one say, “Look yah, Jim, dey's th’ee hyer, ‘stid o' two.” “Reckon we can’t tek ‘em all now; less tote this un fust,” sald the other. ‘So they picked up the body on my left and took it up to Bm aay Ss’) pags igh FES BA LO FF Ueto gn‘ Le He oe Wy Ge hens BZ Mn SF i AE GE: si a y i a DO is Wand Divas CORTES: our quarters. Then they returned for theothertwo. I held my breath and kept my muscles rigid when they lifted me up, then waited until the dead private was laid alongside. Just as the boys straizht- ened up with the load I gavean unearth- ly shriek and, dashing over the side, madea bee line for our tents. The fellow behind yelled like a whitehead and dropped his end; his partner grasped the situation, and fn an instant both put after me. Well, gentlemen, they each carried a revolver, and began popping away at the corpse that “dun got away!” If I hadn't dodged into the quarter- master’s tent I should have been a sure ‘enough corpse in a few minutes, for both the niggers were scared to death and thought the “so'dger” was bewitched. I lay hid for half an hour before I dared venture out, and meantime those rascal- ly officers had told the joke all over camp. It cost me a week's pay to square my- self. Not Much Difference.

Interested in the FOOT OFFICE SATURDAY...SEPTEMBER 10, 1904 TERRIBLE TIMES IN GEORGIA. --- The official investigation of the stake-burning lynching at State-boro, Georgia, recently has tended to inform the country thoroughly with reference to the deplorable conditions now existing in the Southland. It deals a staggering blow to the advanced ideas of civilization and emphasizes the question as to how far is a civilized man removed from the innermost recesses of barbarism. The cruelty displayed and the fiendishness exercised would seem to indicate that the present affirmations of our advanced stages of enlightenment are as "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals." Our "holier than you" attitude in dealing with the "unspeakable Turk" in our appeals for the Armenians and our "prayer-book position" in making our demands upon the "barbarous Russians" in their treatment of the Jews have received a set-back, and invited embarrassment as the odor from the burning flesh of the hapless Americans of color and their shrieks of agony invite a contemptuous smile from the two other parties to the controversy. It is now definitely ascertained that the presiding judge, the sheriff, the deputy sheriffs, the captain of the company of the state troops and many of the troops themselves connived at and added the lynchers who burned to death the two colored men, who were charged with murder. It was a carnival of crime and it tends to make the heart sick. It is but fair to state that white men are pushing this investigation and white men are endeavoring to fix the responsibility for this murder of colored men, who were already in the hands of the law. These white men represent the conservative elements of the New South. To them, we can safely entrust our interests and to them we can with assurance make our appeals. As we note these acts of savagery, we sometimes tremble, and we sometimes waver in our confidence, but in the "wake of the storm comes the host of peace-makers," who give to us consolation and attempt to bind up all of our wounds. THE POST'S ABSURDITIES: THE Washington, D.C., Post is humorous to the extreme at times. It has been discussing the question, "Will rabbits fight," and cited instances from the statements of "snake story" correspondents to show that they will fight and that dogs have been literally torn to pieces by them. Not satisfied with these miraculous statements, it proceeded to argue the question, "Will mules kick?" and again the correspondent of ghost stories came to its relief and gravely assured the public that the statement that mules kick was entirely erroneous, that the long-eared fraternity has been grossly misrepresented and that they do not kick. Of course the Negro-mule drivers, who have come in contact with the mule both before and behind were not consulted and the mule itself no doubt "smiled" grimly as it contemplated the number of colored persons it had landed above the level of its back. But the Posr gave a grunt of satisfaction as it argued the question and from a theoretical stand-point proved its case, to its entire self-satisfaction. Its latest venture is a refutation of the working capacity of the Negro. We showed in a recent article that the number of bales of cotton produced in 41 years was (321,880,337) two hundred and thirty-one million, eight hundred and eighty thousand, three hundred and fifty-seven bales, which would make the average yearly production of cotton valued at $40.00 per bale amount to one hundred million, four hundred and forty-nine thousand four hundred dollars. The amount of cotton produced per year has increased and the value of the crop since 1865 on an average basis amounts to two hundred and twenty-six million, two hundred and twenty-four thousand, seven hundred and twenty dollars. This was too much for the Post as the Negroes of the South were known to be the great cotton-producers of the South-hand. It then propounds the question, "Do Negroes produce cotton?" and although, we, who are down here are looking at the Negroes producing the cotton, the gentleman in the Post's editorial sanctum, with much gravity, argues that the Negroes do not produce cotton. It says: "Here again is the long-ago exploded fallacy that the cotton crop is produced by Negro labor, and that every reduction of the volume of that labor means a corresponding curtailment of the crop. Nothing could be more nonsensical. As far back as 1885 the Times Democrat, of New Orleans, showed by unassailable statistics that more than half of the cotton crop was produced by white labor, and since then the proportion has steadily increased. To-day it may be asserted with entire safety that at least three-fifths of the crop is the result of the white man's industry. The "hot Southern suns" are a mere figure of speech, a superstition. Every intelligent person in the cotton belt knows that this is true. And the fact is that if every Negro now residing in the Southern States were to move North to morrow, there would be very little disturbance of the industry even at first and none at all after a year or two. Southerners like the Negro as a laborer. They are conservative they are used to him, and they have no taste for radical experiments. But whose imagines that the South's welfare depends upon the black man is utterly mistaken, and he who speculates in cotton with Negro labor as his basis will go broke as surely as the sun shines above this tree and happy land." These statements are on a par with the other questions asked. It shows to what extent Negro-haters will go in order to minimize the true value of the black man to the community and with all of its slate erasing, it leaves one hundred million dollars worth of cotton to the producing power of the Negro, without counting the production of the corn, oats, tobacco, sugar and molasses. If a rabbit fights and a mule doesn't kick then the Negroes of the South-land do not produce cotton and that's all there is about it. Go on with your nursery hymes and your ghost stories, Mr. Posr, but be kind enough to leave us out of the equation. There are enough Negro haters abusing and slandering us already, without having you lending the influence of your powerful journal to those who so wantonly assail us. AWFUL BEUTALITY The Richmond, Va., TIMES-DISPATCH, in a recent editorial article called upon the colored people to assist in running down colored men charged with crime. Right on the heels of this comes a report from BRUSSON, FLORIDA, reciting the fact that WASH, BRADLEY, the colored man charged with having shot and killed Mrs. N. B. BARROW, (white Friday, Sept. 2nd, 1904 was captured by SHED and WALTER HOWARD, both of whom are colored, Monday, Sept. 5th at about sunset two miles from LEVYVILLE, just as he was trying to trade a shot-gun for a revolver. They over-powered him, tied him hand and foot and delivered him to the white citizens. Did they deliver him to the officers of the law and accord to him a fair and impartial trial as is guaranteed by our laws? Let us see. The reports states that his ears were cut off, his back slashed with knives, while the blood spurted and the victim groaned. His arms were nearly severed with buck-shot, and the other indignities are no doubt unfit for publication. After torturing him as described, his body was riddled with bullets and hanged to the limb of a tree by the murderers. Do you think that this will tend to induce other colored men to capture Negro criminals? Do you think that we would raise our hands to prevent the escape of a fugitive, be his crime what it may if we knew or believed that he would be tortured in the manner described? Not much! We wouldn't aid in the capture of a white fugitive who had killed a colored woman, if he were to be similarly treated and we do not care who knows it either. Not an Agricultural Prospect.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. FIERCE "BATTLE" AT BULL RUN "Blue" Army Unable to Break Defense of the "Browns." HALT CALLED IN FIGHTING Gafnesville, Va., Sept. 7.—The Blue and the Brown armies were in fierce contest when halted by the chief umpire. Previous to this the commanders of the two forces had spent the time manoeuvring for position. The net result of the day is that General Grant, who is charged with forcing back General Bell's brown army through Thoroughfare Gap, has not been able to break the line of defense established by General Bell. This line extends north and south, bisecting the manoeuvre zone about midway of its length. The northern half of General Bell's defense line is composed of infantry and artillery. General Grant opposed this force in the extreme north early in the day, but with no success. After five companies of the Blue army had been ruled off the field for attackink in the open a strong concealed defense, hostilities ceased for nearly three hours. During this time General Grant swung the bulk of his infantry and artillery to the south in an effort to flank General Bell's line of infantry on the right. General Bell, however, learned of the movements of his adversary, and rushed up his reserves to the threatened point. The two forces came in contact, artillery was brought into play by the Brown army, and rapid-fire guns spoke on both sides, while volley after volley of musket fire added to the sound of battle, which could be heard through the Virginia hills for miles. The battle had proceeded only a short time when an order from the umpires was given to cease firing. At this time the forces were practically equal, and the situation was such that a decision from the umpires seemed to be demanded. Instead, 15 minutes was granted each side to rectify its lines. Then, at a signal from the chief umpire, the action was resumed. The First Vermont, a portion of the 12th New York, the Eighth Massachusetts and the Second Maine made a charge on the Blue position, moving over very open ground and under a very heavy fire from the Seventh Virginia, the First Maine and the First Texas. The Brown charging force was ordered back after sustaining heavy loss. The success of the Blue army at this time was but temporary, as an enfilading fire of infantry and artillery from the Brown troops on the right and left made it impossible for the Blue to hold its position, and an order to fall back was given. General Bell had ordered up reinforcements, consisting of the greater part of Barry's brigade, which had been holding the line still farther to the south. The situation was critical for either side. The fighting forces were approaching closer and closer and the firing was growing hotter. A decision from the umpire would have been imperative had a halt not been called. DELAWARE DEMOCRATS C. S. Pennewill, of Dover, Named For Governor, On Fifth Ballot. Dover, Del., Sept. 7.—After being in continuous session for eight hours the Democratic state convention adjourned after having nominated the following state ticket: Presidential electors—J. Harvey Whiteman, of New Castle; Nicholas R. Johnson, of Kent; Landreth L. Layton, of Sussex. Governor—Caleb S. Pennewill, of Dover. Lieutenant governor — James R. Clements, of Clayton. Representative in congress—Edward D. Hearne, of Georgeown. Attorney general—L. Irving Handy, of Newark. Insurance commissioner—Francis D. Baldwin, of Hockessin. Auditor of accounts — William T. Carter, Jr., of Greenwood. State treasurer — James T. Shallcross, of Middletown. Every office was so bitterly contested for that ballot after ballot had to be taken, Mr. Pennewill being nominated on the fifth ballot. The convention adjourned in an uproar. The platform endorses the principles of the Democratic party and the St. Louis platform. It ratifies the nomination of Parker and Davis. It sets forth that the political control of this state was obtained and is now held by conscielessness persons, whose prominence and success are due to their unchallenged ability to corruptly win elections and escape criminal punishment therefor. REPUBLICANS SWEEP VERMONT Claim to Have Elected Ticket By 32,000 Plurality. White River Junction, Vt., Sept. 7.—Returns indicate that the Republicans in the state election have elected the head of their ticket by a plurality equal, if not greater, than that returned for William W. Stickney when he was elected governor in 1900. Stickney, however, received the support of many gold Democrats, and the Republicans generally did not look for more than 28,000 plurality. Stickney was elected four years ago by $1,282 plurality over Senter. Secretary A. E. Watson, of the Republican state committee, claims the state by $22,000 plurality. Betrothal to Duchess Cecilia of Meck Jahnburg Schwerin, Announced Tenbury-Schwerin Announced. Altona, Prussia, Sept. 5.—During a dinner which Emperor William and the Empress Augusta Victoria gave at the Kaiserhof to the leading officials of Schleswig-Holstein, the emperor announced the betrothal of Crown Prince Frederick William to the Duchess Cecilia, sister of the reigning grand duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The announcement was received with great enthusiasm. "Candle" Was Dynamite Stick. Burlington, N. J., Sept. 5.—Harry, the young son of Robert Haines, found what resembled a dirty candle in a pile of scrap iron, and boylike touched a match to the "wick." A terrible explosion followed,uckily exerting its force in the opposite direction from Haines. However, he was much cut about the head and may lose his sight. The "candle" was a stick of dynamite.

Many Farmers Pay Too Much Attention to the Beauty of Branches and of Foliage. Ordinarily it is better to purchase trees near home than at a distance, as they will have just that much less to endure in the way of transportation. If they come from a long distance they can, it is true, be delivered in good shape, if their roots are properly packed in damp moss and like material. But this is not always certainty. It does not pay the buyer to always select the cheapest trees, nor will it pay him always to select the expensive trees. The younger the tree within a certain limit the better. In this matter of selling young trees the nurseryman cannot always do as they would. One nurseryman says that young and small fruit trees are better than the longer and older ones, but the customer can't be made to believe that. He wants bigness. The nurseryman says that if he tries to sell one-year-old trees the other fellow—the competitor—gets in with his big trees, and the buyer is caught by him. A young tree has more power of getting hold of the soil, and for some unaccountable reason makes a better growth in five or six years than does the older and larger tree. The buyer will do well to say to the nurseryman that he is willing to take young trees, if, in the opinion of the nurseryman, they are the best. In that case the nurseryman will be frank and state his real views of the matter. There is another thing that the buyer of fruit trees should remember, and that is that many varieties of fruit, many varieties of apples as well as of other fruits, are grown on trees that are ill-shaped. This is due to their variety characteristics, and the buyer should not try to get a fine-shaped tree in such a case. The desire of the buyer to get a nicely shaped tree has more than once resulted in the nurseryman selling him some other variety. The buyer demanded a smooth, nice-looking tree. The seller could not find it in his variety, because it did not exist, and so polished off on the trees of another variety to keep from losing the sale. When the trees got old enough for the buyer to find fault, the nurseryman may go out of business. When we select a fruit tree it is selected for the fruit it will bear, and not for the beauty of its branches or its foliage.—Farmers' Review. COVER FOR BEAN STACKS Easy Way to Improve the Quality of Beans Without Any Extra Expense Worth Mentioning. Ordinarily beans are pulled and stacked in the field about a single pole. about a single pole, without cover for the top. This is often the cause of severe loss, resulting from rain per- colating through middle of stack where it cannot readily dry out. As offen, too, this without cover for the top. This is often the cause of severe loss, resulting from rain percolating through middle of stack where it cannot readily dry out. As often, too, this trouble is found at the bottom of the stack, as a result of moisture in the ground. The illustration shows the method I adopted years ago, and with which I have had the best of results. Any kind of rough sticks may be used, and a haycap stretched across the top and tied to the stakes. Protected in this way the quality of beans will be much improved without any extra expense worth speaking of.—Farm and Home. Knew the Important Thing. Betty—So Maud is engaged?

I have always wanted some sort of a tool that could be used to joint and smooth up a plowed field, scrape a rough road in the spring and meet other like demands; but the plank "granger," the flat log with a cutting edge and like devices never quite filled the bill, and they in some way all went into innocuous desuetude. It occurred to me that a big iron ring with some sort of an inside cutting attachment would be the thing. A bar of steel four inches wide and one-half inch thick and long enough to make a five and one-half foot hoop was procured. Another bar of the AN IMPROVISED LEVELER. same size was made into a triangle, just a fit, and put inside the hoop and riveted at the angles. Ring hooks were put into the outer rim, to which a bale was fastened, and then I had a most complete tool. The cost was $5, and we have found it of the greatest use. As a road smoother it is all that can be desired. Every inch of its 33 feet of under edge is either cutting, pushing or scraping back to the center, filling as well as leveling, and a good team will pull it all day. For road smoothing—not scraping—it equals a big machine. It is well to have a plank fitted on top, so that in extreme cases the driver may add his weight and do a little more complete work.—John Gould, in N. Y. Tribune-Farmer. TWO EFFECTS OF CLOVER. The Crop Acts Either as a Collector of Nitrogen or as a Sub-Earth Cultivator. The work of clover is not always to get nitrogen from the air. There are some solls that are rich enough in nitrogen and yet need the presence of the legumes. In a visit to Antloch, Ill., the writer observed that the soil is only a little addy, and that it is also rich in nitrogen. Clover is being grown, but its work of soil renovation is different from that it has to perform on some other solls, especially those that are deficient in nitrogen. Here the roots go deep into the soil and help to improve the physical condition of the soil. It taps the stores of potassium and phosphorus that are hidden away in the depths of the earth and brings them to the upper layers of soil, where they will be within the reach of the plants that do not have the deep root systems that clover and alfalfa have. The clovers will be found to be useful on almost all soils where they will grow, either as collectors of nitrogen or as subaureth cultivators. They send their roots deep into the soil and tunnel in every direction. The roots in time die, leaving a multitude of passages in the soil. These act as drains and as air channels, by which the soil is more fully aerated. As a nitrogen gatherer the clover is of great use on millions of acres of our lands from which the nitrogen has been exhausted, and on millions of other acres it acts as a carrier of fertility from the cellars to the upper storage rooms of the soil—Farmers' Review. New Potato from Uraguay. Prof. Heckel, of Marseilles, France, discovered a few years ago, along the banks of the River Mercedes, Uruguay, a new tubercle, which seems to put the common white potato in the background, if reports are true. This wonderful potato need be planted but once, as new tubercles and stems to branch off in every direction all the year, and after one planting the vegetable perpetuates itself from the broken roots left in the soil. The flowers are abundant, and very odorous, and a perfume resembling jasmine has already been manufactured from them. Enormous production, absolute immunity from common potato diseases, delicious flavor and easy culture are some of the features already claimed for this new discovery. A Crop of Antique Corn Several years ago, in exploring an Indian mound in the southwest part of Missouri, a quantity of corn was found. Some of this corn was planted, and, to the surprise of all, it germinated and matured. How long it had lain in the mound, on which large trees were growing, no one can conjecture—probably several hundred years. Last fall a citizen of Jamesport, Mo., secured a handful of this corn and now has a dozen hills of it growing in his garden. The grains are about the usual size of field corn, but are of a deep brown, mottled with yellow. CANADA IS AHEAD OF US. Roads and Road Laws of Our Northern Neighbor Are Far Superior to Our Own. It is subject for frequent comment on the part of travelers that the roads of Europe are far superior to those of the United States; and this result is generally attributed to the system of government aid and supervision which prevails in nearly all European nations. But it is not so generally known that our nearest neighbor, Canada, is also ahead of us, not only in the character of the roads, but in the matter of road legislation. Hon. A. W. Campbell, highway commissioner of Ontario, is an enthusiast on the subject of good roads, and at the same time a very able and practical public official. He is quite well known to the good roads people of the United States, as he has attended and addressed a number of important conventions in this country. In a recent report he says: "Good roads are essential to the full development of agriculture. In a country such as Ontario, dependent upon agriculture, this means that good roads are of very great importance to the towns and cities as well. Good roads are not a benefit to any one class of the community. They are of universal value. This is a matter of which too narrow a view has been taken in Ontario. If we must have carals and railways, then we must have good country roads. It has been taken for granted that if the country as a whole constructed canals and subsidized railways, the common roads could take care of themselves. But this has not been the case. "The broader aspect of the question has recently been given prominence by the decision of the provincial government to appropriate $1,000,000 for road improvement. This, for lack of a better name, has been termed government 'aid' or 'assistance.' It is a recognition of the value of good roads to every citizen of the country, and a just effort on the part of the government to cooperate in procuring them. "The object of the present measure is not so much to aid by the gratuitous distribution of money, but has for its aim a nobler purpose. While it aims to encourage the doing of a work which is acknowledged by all as being an important and necessary service, its prime object is to equalize and lighten the cost. The unfairness and injustice of the present system of taxation for highway construction is so noticeable as to be a matter of wonderment that some step of this kind has not been these devised by government, or compelled by the people. "The government is only exercising its rightful function as a part of the administrative system in providing a portion of the cost of making roads and distributing the money among the different municipalities entitled to it. This function can be performed by the provincial government only." In Nova Scotia nearly 15 years ago the provincial government began the appropriation of funds to improve the roads, and the plan has proven entirely successful where the old system of depending on the local communities was a complete failure. Even away out in British Columbia there are many fine roads which are said to be "the delight of tourists." All these are built and kept up by the government. BARROW FOR BARBED WIRE. A handy device for carrying or stringing barbed wire is shown in the cut. Take two pieces of 1x7 stuff six feet long. Cut the ends down for handles, same as for a wheelbarrow, and round BARROW FOR HANDLING WIRE. one corner on the other end. The barrow is drawn instead of being pushed. Bore an inch hole 20 inches from lower end. Nail a piece of 1x7 across the handles 12 inches from the hole, making space between the handles two inches wider than the reel. Brace as shown. Take an old wagon hole, bore three-sixteenth inch hole through each end and use tire bolts for pins. One man can string more wire with this device than two men carrying the reel on a bar.—Farm and Home. Preserving of Hollow Trees Often a valuable lawn or roadside tree is found to be hollow and decaying rapidly, and unless something is done to preserve it, it will not last long. We have seen trees preserved as follows; Remove all unsound and decaying wood with a chisel until the sound wood is exposed. Mix one part Portland cement and three parts clean, sharp sand into a thin mortar and fill the cavity with it. When it is about "set" coat the exposed surface with a mortar of about one part cement and one part sand. It is recommended to treat the exposed wood, inside the cavity, with a solution of one pound copper sulphate in five gallons water before putting in the cement.—Ohio Farmer. Success with Angora Goats Success with Angora Goats. The breeder of pure Angora goats must give close attention to his flocks the year around, says Country Life in America. A doe will often leave a new-born kid to join her flock as often as it gets out of her sight, nor will she return to her kid, unless the flock happens to feed that way. Naturally, many kids are lost, and others would die if they were not take care of. A few head of well-bred goats may be found profitable on an farm, especially on a farm where brunning is an improvement, as no other will destroy shrubs so quickly. Usual Way.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WAS A DAISY INDEED METEORIC CAREER OF KENTUCKY GIRL IN OKLAHOMA. Gained Fame by Leaping from Cow-catcher and Hanging Her Skirt on a Bush, Thus Staking Her Claim. An advertisement for the sale of a valuable lot by the administrator of the estate of Nannette Sweeburg means to those who are in possession of the facts that it is the closing chapter in the story of the most spectacular woman who has ever called Oklahoma home. She is dead now, and, strange to say, there are no distant relatives fighting over the wealth she left behind. A few there have been who have laid claim to the lands she owned, but when traced to the end their claims have proved false, or, at least, shadowy. Miss Nannette Daisy, her name before her marriage, was a Kentuckian and a beautiful woman. It is related that prior to going to Oklahoma she was assistant state librarian of Kentucky, but further than this her antecedents are little known. But she was a good "mixer" and a "wire puller" and showed other evidences of having had her share in the politics of the state which claimed her birth. The Chicago Inter Ocean says that it was on April 22, 1889, that she first came into prominence. Upon that date old Oklahoma, as it is now designated, was first opened for settlement. Miss Daisy contrived to make friends with the engineer of the first train which went into Oklahoma from the south. From a point near the southern border she boarded the train, taking a seat on the cowcatcher of the engine. When the train reached a point a few miles north of where Britton, Okla, and south of Guthre, Okla, are now located, she gave the preconcerted signal to the engineer, who slowed the train while she leaped to the ground and hung on a convenient bus her petticoat, which she had inscribed with the legend: "This is my claim." Being a woman of considerable breeding and education, she naturally fell in with the better element and numbered among her friends the FRUITS IS MY CLAIM USED PETTICOAT FOR SIGN. newspaper men and the politicians of the day. None of them, however, were better "wire pullers" or lobbyists than she and the first few legislatures bear ample testimony to this fact. She was soon dubbed "Kentucky Daisy," and to the majority of the people of Oklahoma she so remained until, like her name sake, she faded from the life of the territory. This fading process was a long way off, however. She had a facile pen and while in Guthrie was correspondent for big dailies in St. Louis, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Cincinnati and was occupied part of the time in doing local work for Guthrie papers. A few years later this spunky and beautiful Kentucky girl was again a conspicuous figure in the public eye when she made the run with the thousands of others at the opening of the Sac and Fox reservation. Astride a strong white horse she was well in the lead and stood a good chance to once more win a claim, but the horse suddenly stumbled and she was thrown violently to the ground. It was thought she had been killed and was so telegraphed all over the country, but instead she was merely stunned, and upon regaining her senses laid claim to the ground upon which she had fallen. This became a part of the town site of Chandler and is the lot which is now being advertised for sale. Although she had had during her career many tempting offers of marriage, it was her fate to fall in love with a young and handsome Swedish soldier, member of a troop of cavalry maintained in Oklahoma by the government. This young fellow was some ten years her junior, but despite this they were married, and, while he remained in the army, she continued her work in public life. By this time, however, Mrs. Svegeburg, her husband's Christian name, was not so young and fresh as in the first days of Oklahoma, and for this and other reasons the Swedish soldier commanded to view his marriage as anything but tasteful. He was suddenly transferred to Chicago, and, although his wife remained in Oklahoma for a time, her love for her husband was strong, and at length yielding, she followed him there. Upon her arrival she discovered he had secured a divorce from her and remarried. She never returned to Oklahoma, and was heard of no more until her death, which occurred last autumn. At that time a Chicago attorney went to Oklahoma and told of the pitiful death of the one time well-known woman. Proper Reward.

Italian Bark Has a Serious Time in Reaching Its Destination — Neither Work Nor Prayer Brought Relief. Capt. L. Rubell, Philadelphia agent of the Italian bark Annita-e-Menottie was in receipt of a letter from Skipper Ferrara of the bark, telling how, on the ship's voyage to St. John, N. B., the crew were horribly bitten by hordes of bugs and centipedes. As a result of the sailors' battle with the pests part of the crew are in the hospital at St. John and it is feared that blood-poisoning may result. On her last trip the bark brought a cargo of bones from Buenos Ayres. As always happens in this sort of a cargo there lurk thousands of nasty bugs and deadly crawling things. In discharging the bones the bug and centipede contingent took refuge in various parts of the ship, escaping the vigilance of the seamen. The bark sailed from Philadelphia on June 16 and arrived at St. John on June 23. The Delaware breakwater had been left behind a few hundred miles when the bugs and centipedes swarmed out of hiding places and actually took possession of the vessel. The decks and masts became covered with them. They attacked the sailors; they made an onslaught upon the man at the wheel. He would have been driven from his post had not a seaman been ordered by the skiiper to heat off the bugs. The plight of the crew became serious. Nothing could conquer the terrible enemy. The bugs, Capt. Ferrara says in his letter to Capt. Rubelli, of the pinching species. They flew about the vessel and lit upon the sailors, particularly their faces. The centipede added to the horror of the situation by crawling up the inside of the seamen's trousers. "What a position to be placed in," said Capt. Ferrara in his letter. "It was awful. The crew were almost at the mercy of the bug and centipede scourge. In their desperation they tore sails to TORMENTED BY BUGS pieces and with the bits about the length of towels tried to beat off their blood-thirsty assailants. It was useless. We killed hundreds of the tenacious pests, but as fast as we did so hundreds more swarmed up through the openings in the hatches. The decks became so thick with the smashed bodies of the enemy that it was with difficulty we kept our footing. "The fight was a sorely unequal one. We soon saw that we could not conquer the bug and centipede horde, so I ordered all sail to be clapped on and this, despite the fact that a three-fourths gale was blowing and the topmasts on fore and mainmasts were bending like reeds. With the masts and no easy work to handle the sails. I felt that our only salvation was to reach our destination." To receive prompt attention kindly mention the name of this paper. quickly as we could. There was a time when I feared that the sailors would take to the boats and desert the bug-cursed ship. But I succeeded in persuading them to stick to the bark. "Under the great spread of canvas that we carried we made the trip in seven days, beating all previous runs by three days. No matter how hard the wind blew we kept all sail on the ship. Meanwhile the bugs and centipedes fought us. The faces and arms and hands of the crew were in a frightful condition. Even the eyes of the sailors were affected. "You have seen me jolly, Capt. Rubell," concluded Skipper Ferrara. "You ought to have seen me and the crew when St. John came in sight. I became devout. I prayed. The anchor was no sooner let go in the harbor than, with a shout, the crew lowered the boats and were soon pulling frantically shoreward. Poor fellows, it will be a long time before some of them recover from their blites. The most serious I ordered to the hospital. I very much fear blood poisoning for not a few and I am a little nervous on the same score myself."

THE PLANET THE SAVING GLANCE By F. H. MARTENS IT WAS a lovely morning in May. From the sunny gardens of the Alcazar a light breeze carried into the great hall of justice the fragrance of the blossoming lime and orange trees, momentarily clearing its perfumed atmosphere with a breath of refreshing coolness. On his raised dias at the farther end of the chamber the most noble and powerful Dom Pedro, by the grace of God, king of Castile and Leon, allowed his pale blue eyes to wander reslessly over its crowded confines. Beside the royal chair of state, with its overhanging dorset, was another, somewhat lower, occupied by the king's beautiful mistress, the good Maria de Padilla, one enabling influence of his brutal andanguine life. The tapestried wall where the three castles stood out in gold broidery against a crimson background, were lined with a strong of the proudest knights and barons of Castile, nearer the dals were clustered the great officials of state and the most intimate of the monarch's courtly encourage, as well as the ladies in attendance on the uncrowned queen. At the entrance of the chamber stood a detachment of the bowman of the guard. But it was no routine matter that held the attention of the courtly multitude this day. A brave and loyal gentleman, beloved and esteemed by all who knew him, was within the hour to answer with his life for an alleged neglect of duty, and those who knew JIMS ONCE MORE, I'LL BOWED TO THE FLOOR. the tender mercies of their sovereign had but little time in his chances of escape. It was, but three days past that Don Diego de Guamau, alcede of Seville, had been made answerable with his head for the first unpunished murder within the city walls, for many brawls took place between the hot-headed capitans who thronged the town in artesia on the court, and the king was on putting an end to their continuation. Searcey 24 hours ago, however, Don Sancho de Espinosa, a cavalier of Aragon, had been found dead in a pool of his own blood in one of the narrow streets of the Moorish quarter without a trace of any kind to give a cue of the assassin's identity. The alcede had left no stone unturned in his endeavor to discover the culprit, but could rest his case on no firm foundation than the testimony of the old crone before whose dwelling place the corpse had been found. Drawn to the windowsill by the class of steel, she had noticed, by the grimmer of her on lamp, that one of the combatants was a tall man, with a profusion of fair hair, the other, being in the shadow, she could not see at all. The alcede had his enemies, and the matter had been brought to the king, who, delighted with so favorable an opportunity of gratifying his cruelty with so fair a semblance of justice, had commanded Don Diego's presence in the hall of justice to answer for his remissness. There was a slight stir at the lower end of the great room, and the alcyde, escorted by four archers, proceeded up the hell in the direction of the throne. Arrived at some ten paces of the dais, he sank on one knee, then rising said, simply, yet not without pride, "I place I, self in your majesty's hands." The royal judge smiled vaguely, and refreshed, with a delicately affected sadness in his even voice: "No one grieves more deeply than I, Senor de Guzman, over the vow I made concerning you, but I swore by St. Juan of Compo, ode that should murder be done here in my loyal city of Seville, and the murderer escape his fate on the gallows, your head should take his place at your neck feel his noose. A king's row, alcea, is a holy thing, and glad as I would be to pardon your neglect. I could not, therefore, imperil my own soul's salvation. If there is ought you can offer in extenuation or desire I will now give it my best consideration." The alcayde poised to collect his thoughts. There is a ring of finality about the kind's mache that clearly boded him no good. Rich powerful and popular as he knew himself to be, there were none a long his kinstolk or friends who would have to brook their monarch's wrath by pleading in his behalf. As he gave about him in his perplexity, his eye chanced to meet that of Maria de Padilla, and he noticed that she looked at him with deep meaning. With an almost imperceptible movement of her head she let her glance fall on a spot about five feet from the dals, where the polished oak floor shone like a mirror. His eyes followed hers, and there cast on the waxed surface, he saw a face. It was the face of the man whosat upon the throne, that of his august majesty, Dom Pedro himself. Bewildered, he sought her eyes again. Again the meaning look crossed her features, and now her glance wasturned to a little tapestry-hung door that led from the hall at the righthand side of the throne. He watchedher narrowly, and saw that the inscription, broidered in large, black letters on the hangings' lower end,seemed to hold her attention. The tapestry itself was a crude bit of work. On a white charger, King Alfonso the Wise, surrounded by hisknights, watched the hang-man flinging into the flames of the Toledan bonfire the sacred books of the Mozarabrital. Beneath, ran the staring gothicletters of the inscription, "Lo quehace el ry, es res hecho" (Thatwhich the king does, is well done). Again her eyes returned to the reflection on the floor, and Don Diegounderstood. The little pantomime hadtaken but a few minutes, yet it wasanother man who stood before themonarch now. Everything was clear tohim. The old woman had said thatthe unknown assassin was fair-haired. The king's mistress had unmistakablypointed out his reflection on the polishedsurface of the oak, and the inscription completed the chain ofcircumstantial evidence. The bland,smiling monster on the throne wasthe slayer, and secure in the knowledgeof the other's ignorance, wasgloating over the prospect of hisapproaching end. There was only onepossible way in which he might savehimself. Once more he bowed to the throne. "I have but one request to make of your majesty," he cried. "Give me 24 hours, and Don Sancho's murderer swings from the gallows in the Plaza de San Francisco. Your majesty shall see him face to face." The king's smile grew and broadened. Was ever comedy more amusing. "Can you offer us this proof of your vigilance and skill? How happily shall I be relieved of my vow," he answered, "and what is more, you shall have from the royal treasure a grant of 10,000 duros of gold the better to maintain your high office as governor of Seville." "I thank you with all my heart for this boon. Your majesty shall not be disappointed," was Don Diego's rejoinder, as he backed from the royal presence. The sitting was over, and king and courtiers repaired to the cool gardens of the alcazar for rest and refreshment. The morning dawned, but the al-cayde had not been idle. A skilled artificer in the Moorish quarter had fashioned a cunning image of the king—his very double in every respect, even to the color of his hair, and this dummy now swayed and dangled from the loft gibbet in the Plaza de San Francisco, filling the gaping crowd with wonder and delight, not unmixed, however, with some secret fear. The al-cayde, together with his officials, reined their steeds toward the right of the high wooden platform, along the way the royal cortege would have to take. They had not long to wait, for the king's curiosity had been aroused in the highest degree. Near the tenth hour, announced by the blare of trumpet and atabal, preceded by steel-clad men-at-arms, and surrounded by a glittering torr of lords and nobles, himself on a huge black charger, Dom Pedro appeared. A cloak of dark crimson velours set off his costume of black silk, the osirish plume that curled gracefully, round his baret was fastened by the great balas ruby, for which he had shamelessly slain his guest, the Moorish king of Grenada, and the gold-inaid trappings of his desirier shone like fire in the bright sunlight. Followed by his train, he swept along until the foot of the gallows was reached, then reined in his mount and looked aloft. There was an instant and universal hush. A hot flush rose to his pallid cheeks, one hand tightened on the reins, while the other half-drew the jewelled dagger that hung at his belt. But he controlled his emotion, and motioned Don Diego to approach. The alcade, bowing to his horse's flowing mane, drew near. "Senor Alcacev," the king said slowly, "you are beyond doubt the most daring man in my dominions; but since justice has been done I am satisfied. Your grant shall be made out in form to-morrow." Again Don Diego bent to his horse's mane, then, lifting his hand he cried in thundering tones: "Long live Dom Pedro, the just king." Taken up by the multitude, his outcrey reechoed through the square. Again the trumpets blared and the royal precession moved on toward the palace. In Don Diego de Guzman's oratory there was one little shrine which he never neglected. It held no picture of either saint or Madonna, only the portrait of a pure, beautiful face, whose eyes look with a gaze of deepest meaning into the room. Here he often kneels to say a prayer, and to thank in spirit the noble Maria de Padilla for her saving glance. Consistency. "What have you been doing all day, dearest?" said his wife on his return home. "Working like a dog." At that moment the family pet got up from a sofa pillow where he had been sleeping behind the stove, stretched from his long afternoon nap, whined at the door to be let out, and after his request was granted stood in the yard for an hour or two and barked at the moon. -Cleveland Leader.

Talking to a group of boys one day, he said: "When I was a youngster I wanted to be a ventriloquist. I wanted to play ventriloquial jokes on everyone in the world. "So I bought a book on throwing the voice, and, with a friend named Jake, I began to study the difficult art. I had poor success, and Jake also had poor success. He, though, imagined he was doing well, and one day he do- THE SHOPPER'S HANDS clared that he was a quite good enough ventriloquist now to begin to do a little fooling. "Jake knew an old engineer in a factory, and the next afternoon he visited him. He seated himself in a corner, and, after a little conversation, he imitated the squeak of badly oiled machinery. "The old engineer trotted to a certain valve and oiled it. "Jake let a few minutes pass and emitted another series of squeaks. "Drat that valve," said the engineer, and he oiled it again. "A third time there came the squeak, and now the engineer saw through the joke. He walked up quietly behind Jake and squirted a half-pint of oil down the back of his neck. "There," he said. "There will be no more squeaking to-day, I'm sure." Clergyman—I am afraid that you are a child of sin. Parishioner—Well, I have the comfort of knowing that I am not an only child.—Brooklyn Life.

Sn ee ee ee ae: eon. Mrs. Hilder—Newly married. Miss Wilder and Miss Freeling—Youns Indies who have only recently graduatec from seminary. Mrs. Hilder—You would hardly be fteve, Mrs. Prowning, the trouble I have ad With my cok. She Is never up te ime, and nine times out of ten the din: mer is late in being served. She always seems to be ina muddled condition. Miss Freeling — This everlasting servant question again! It seems to be Me only topic of conversation nowadays Mrs. Browning—It isa most important opie, let me assure you, Miss Freeling and I have every sympathy with Mrs Hilder in her troubles in the kitchen What do you think is the cause of the ook being muddled? Mrs. HI hardly like to say It, but] Believe she drinks. She is a most excel- Ment servant, but there is this one fant Miss Wilder—ifow horrid! ‘To thin? of anyone in a comfortable place givins Way to drink. Oue can hardly wonder at the poor and miserable flying to drink 4m order to drown their cares, but for 1 Respectable woman it is simply awful! Mrs. B.—I have found a remedy for ail that in my house, Mine was just the Same experience. Mr. Browning and 1 talked it over, and we came to the con- — BS 7 ehh K 3 id / PN 7 clusion that there was but one way of dealing with the matter, Mrs, H.—Pray, what was that? Mrs. B—The conclusion we came to was to keep alcohol outside the house al- together. ‘ Miss F.—Then you are a total ab- stainor? ‘Mrs. B—Certainly. My husband and T have been abstainers for many years Mrs, H.—But, my dear Mrs, Browning, don’t you find it very awkward some- Umes—with visitors and all that? Mrs. B.—Not at all. Some of our frlends are not abstainers, but they re- cognize that we have the same right to abstain as they claim In using wine. We never admit strong drink of any kind into the house. Miss W.—But how awkward for the eook! How does she manage for brandy sauce and wine jellies and confections? Mrs, H.—You surely don't mean, that Ro wine fs used in the kitchen? Mrs. B.—I certainly do; and what { more, I think that of all places It is the least needed in the kitchen. May not {ts use there in some way be responsible fo: the muddled state of your cook? Miss F—I am glad to hear you take such a stand, Mrs. Browning; it is just the position that father and mother take and we find it no inconvenience. Miss W.—But really! I can't see what harm a little wine can do; and see how it improves the dishes with its flavor. Mrs. B—That is, of course, a matter ef taste, and personally I dislike brandy Sauce and wine jellies and th §pirit @avored confections. ‘Miss F.—I agree with you; and i Seems to me that there are so many fn. Rocent and wholesome preparations that it ts a pity that we should have re- course to alcoholic liquors. Mrs. H—Rut is not this carrying things a little too far? [think itis. You ‘Object to wine jellies and all that sor Of thing, but ali tle time there is aleohol in the bread. Miss W.—Or course there is. How funny {t 1s that people don’t see that. They go to an extreme on one hand, an¢ yet use the same thing on the other hand. ‘Mrs. B.—Are you sure of that? It ts certainly new to me. I was talking not Jong since to Dr. Walker, and he abso: fately stated that aicohol is never found fm natural foods. and very seldom, in. deed, In prepared ones, so long as thos: foods are fresh and wholesome. Mrs. H.—Boi that can't be so. Why, tn making bread yeast is used, and the only object in using tt fs that’ pas may be Generated, and it 1s these bubbles of gas that make the oread rise, Miss W—Thers is no doubt but that aleohol is formed in the dough—for } know a little chemistry, and the very fact that the rae i= nrodneod shows tha Alcohol has been formed Miss F.—Thot ‘oubsedly. Bu have you not ¢ the bread Das to be bales? Pic fact thai alcohol ts In the doush Coes not prove that it fk ‘also in the bread. Mrs. H.—1 con't see that. If it fetm the ‘one, surely it must be fn the other. Miss F.—That may be a relief—but It 48 not the fact. What really happens i this—that the yeost acts upon the sugai in the doush, and splits it up into alco hol and carbonic acid gas. This ga escapes and makes the dough rise, bul when the bread ts put Into the oven al the alcoho! is driven off in the steam from the dove, Mrs. B—That seems to clear up that point. and we may. therefore, once agalt feel free. Miss W.—I am not sure abont tt. 1 don’t quite see what proof there is. Mrs. H.—Of course it is all very well to say the alcohol escapes, but what proof Is there of this? __ Miss F.—The proof is easy. ‘The heat ‘of the oven is abov= that of the boiling Polnt of water, and as alcohol bolls al 40 degrees below that of water. it follow: ‘that it must vaporize very much more ‘guickiy, and thus be driven off in the first quantities of steam. Mrs. B.—That Is quite a satisfactor explanation. I did not know the reason and I am obliged to Miss Freeling for explaining it. Miss F.—The bread could, of course, be tested after it has been baked, and I be- Meve that where this has beea done nc alcohol has been found to be present. Mrs. H.—Well, that seems to settle It “Live and learn,” they say, and I have Jearned something this afternoon. Miss W.—But would not the same ar. gument apply to other cases where wine Is used In the kitchen? Mrs. B—1 think not; for in mans cases the material Is neither bolled not baked, and consequently, the full flavor of strong drink is present. Miss F —T know that mother objects to that kind on the ground thatit 4s not hecessary—we do not even think it mic to the palate and there ts always the danger that some one who bas con: quered the drink habit may have the érink habit revived. Mrs. B—That is a very real danger And I am» all the more certain, after our talk to-day, that we are adopting the Tight course in exeluding strong drink entirely from the house. Mrs. H.—Well, ladies, T must go, as1 still have some calls to make. DEFECTIVE CHILDREN. Sad Legacy Which Alcohol Has Be. stowed Upon the Country of Belgium. Le Bien Social has an article on de- fective children. in which we read that the schools for such children con- tain 954 scholars, but the Society for the Protection of Defective Children has made inquiry, and found that in Belgium there are at least 8.000 such children and the greater number are recelving no education at all. The ar- ticle goes on to say that In this sad matter “alcoho! plays a preponderating role.” The teacher of a school at Ant- werp “was so struck with the evil alco- hol had caused to the children that he renounced for life the use of all alco- holic drinks, liqueurs, wine and beer.” He one day said to a friend: “How can one continue to drink when one sees In these children the terrible evils caused by alcohol?” Our. contempo- rary then asks: “Do the rich distiMers ‘and the public empotsoners pay for the ‘special teaching of these children? Do ae charge themselves with the duty ‘of remedying the sad consequences of their pitiable condition? These ‘hon- Orables’ content themselves with shut- ting up In their drawers and safes the cursed money which they gain through the misfortune and stupefying of the people.” _ In another article on criminality In Belgium, after giving details of the crimes committed through drink, show- Ing that 75 per cent. of the criminals Bre alcoholics, it says; “It {s the in- fernal commerce of the distillers and the retail dealer in alcohol which pro- duces all these criminals. Why not make those who deliver themselves up to this destructive commerce pay the considerable cort. amounting to mil- lions, which criminality entails on the country?” TEMPERANCE PARAGRAPHS, There are 111 saloonkeepers on the ‘school board in Pittsburs. ‘The closing of Glaszow's saloons ai ten instead of 11 p. m, has led to an im- mediate reduction of 50 per cent. In the police cases of drunkenness. The prohibitory law of Potter coun. ty, which had been tn effect for 4 Years, was repealed (wo years ago, bis Judge Olmstead ruled that the repeal- ing law was unconstitutional, On ap- peal the superior court affirmed the Jocal court’s ruling. The matter was then argued in the supreme court, but that tribunal may not hand down a de- cision for some mouths. Accordingly about 40 saloons will go out of business for awhile at least. Prof. J. G. Jordan, of Bates college was receutly asked to analyze some so: called “beer” confiscated by a sherif fn Maine. His report was as follows: “I should say that it was composed o} the rinsings from sour molasses bar. els, the suds obiained in washing a Darroom floor and all of the molds grain the liquid would absorb, It 4 ‘only 2.75 per cent. alcohol, but a man fought to be prosecuted for selling such stuf.” No liquor is permitied the Indians who form a large part of Cummins’ Wild West Indian Congress at the world’s fair. So insistent is Col. Cum- mins upon a strict observance of this rule that he employs a skilled detec- tive to search out violators, and In- @ians who offend are promptly returned to the reservation. Prohibition 1s, maturally, conducive to better discipline among the 750 Indias who take part Im the congress, but it may be dificult to persuade the aborigine that what Ys s0 harmful to himself is not equally go to bis clvitized brother.
