Vanyson THEODORE ROOSEVELT President of the OECD and Republican Candidate for Re-Election LEXINGTON NEWS. The lawn social which was given by the ladies of the A. M. E. church at Colley's lawn Monday night was a financial success. Every body reports of having a grand time. Mr. Anthony Scott and Miss Carry Walker were united into matrimony on August 4. We hope them a long and prosperous life. Mr. C. M. English of Sedalia, manager of the Sedalia Weekly Conservator is quite slick. They are still trying to raise the amount to build the bridge. Mr. G. Hearle has always fulfilled all the promises he has made to the people of Lexington. We think that every one who can ought to subscribe for the building of the bridge. Let the colored men who owns take an interest in the enterprise, which will make their property more valuable. There is a young lady in our city, a graduate of L. L. who desires to teach. Any one wanting a teacher, address Mr. A. B. Johnson, Lexington, Mo. She will give satisfaction. Mr. Hancock and Rev. Powell went down to Shomfea Saturday evening to visit their friends. Mrs. C. Lyghtle, Mrs. A. Douglasss, and Miss Laura Anderson, left Saturday for Jefferson City to attend the burial of their father Sunday. Mr. John Bouldridge, who has been sick is able to be out again. Miss Tilda Parker will take up her school at Dover next Monday, Sept. 12. Miss Annie Johnson left Monday evening to take up her school at Glenwood district.

Lexington, Mo., Sept. 5, 1904. To the Chairman and Members of the Republican State Committee: I hope you gentlemen will put Mr. Lewis Woods on the committee. I think he will add strength to the ticket more especially among our people. He is well known by the paper that he has published and the people in our section of the country have confidence in him. Yours truly, A. W. WALKER, Member of the Republican County Committee. TREATMENT OF THE NEGROES BY THE PRESS OF KANSAS CITY In spite of the fact that a large percentage of the readers of the daily press of this city, the Journal and Star in particular, are Negro subscribers, it is seldom indeed, if ever, that the doings or actions of the Negroes are ever mentioned except upon an occasion of wrong, crime or offense committed by Negroes. And when these papers do accord the colored people an incidental mention, such mention is usually arranged in a parody. A Negro, however faultless his English may be, is usually quoted by the press in the so-called Southern plantation darky dialect. Of course these things are humiliating to the colored people. It may be that our local white press takes profound pleasure in humiliating our people indiscriminately, but such should not be so. Or, it might be the fault of the smart reporter, I am sure I do not know. However the matter ought to be remedied. Queen's Visit to Solomon. A discovery which is expected to prove of great interest has just been made by Hugues Le Roux, who is on a mission to Abyssinia. He has found what is said to be the original manuscript, containing in the ancient language of the country a contemporary account of the visit of the queen of Sheba to King Solomon, from the union of whom the Abyssinian monarchs claim to be descended. Know Nature of Explosives. One of the causes of Japan's success in war is her thorough knowledge of explosives and their behavior under a variety of conditions. The Lancet declares that the Japanese chemist unites the power of originality of the English chemist with the practical intuition of the German. At the University of Tokio practical study is much favored, and splendid*facilities for work are provided in the laboratories and workshops. To Our Correspondents.

This home has been open for the reception of girls since January 1, 1904, during which time eight or nine girls have been cared for, reformed and given employment, and are still under the guardianship of the home. This home is run by donations of old clothing, provisions, money or anything will be gladly received. Girls for reformation are taken into the home from the ages of 10 to 18 respectively. Let us come together as a race and, as citizens and help this worthy cause, which is so much needed in Kansas City, and save some mother's precious girl, for remember the future destiny of the race depends upon its women. Yea, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. It is true that some of our girls go willfully astray, but on the other hand, some are led and forced by circumstances, and would do better had they the opportunity. This home will allow them a chance to improve themselves. Beware of imitators; there is no other of its kind existing. Call and investigate. Any girl wishing admittance can have it by applying at home of president, Mrs. O. P. L. Stewart, 2211 Flora avenue. Those who wish further information can call at said address.

George Frederick Watts, the great English artist, who died recently in London, rarely worked from a living subject, but modeled fragmentary studies in wax and clay for particular parts of the figures of his pictures. This patriarch of painters said in reference to his principal works that one of his great aims was to take the terror away from death. Three Nations Make One Glove. It takes three nations to make the best gloves—Spain to produce the kid, France to cut it out, and England to sew it together. NO COLOR LINE FOR DOWIE. An Address in Zion City Advising Intermarriage of the Races. ZION CITY, ILL., Sept. 4.—In his address this afternoon Dowie again aired his views on race prejudice and announced himself as opposing the color line, even in marrying. He considers all races as being of one great family. He denounced St. Louis for treating negroes shamefully at the fair. Because one of his followers, Brem. Wilson, was refused lodging at the Christian Endeavor hotel, Dowie blames President Clarke of the Christian Endeavor Society and said he would give him one week to right the wrong. Said Dowie: If one God hath created us, are we not all of the race of Adam, instead of being whites and blacks? There should be no racial distinction because God has created us. What we want is to get back to primitive man. Zien wants is intermarriage of all people. There is no greater curse than that of color and language. Did I not tell you that the Mongolian race was to be the stronger in this Eastern war? If the white people in the South do not stop this abuse of colored folks they will be punished by being made inferior to the yellow and black races." As to the above, the Son claims that the Negroes are not seeking intermarriage, but they are seeking the hand of protection and an equal showing before the law, which has not been given them since they were first landed in this country. The right must prevail some day, however. French Tobacco Factories. French Tobacco Factories. The French government employs 17,148 hands in its state tobacco factories. Fifteen thousand seven hundred of these are women. There are also 714 directors, foremen and overseers. Extravariance in Use of Power. Careful tests at Cornell university demonstrated that a one-horse power engine working continuously for one hour could produce only enough liquid air, when converted into power, to run a one-horse power engine one minute.

Fairbanks and Walbridge Draw 20,000 People to Convention Hall. Senator Fairbanks, Republican nominee for Vice President, and Cyrus P. Walbrige, Republican nominee for governor of Missouri, faced the largest audience ever assembled in the Convention hall last Friday night at the opening of the Republican State campaign. No one went to the hall out of mere curiosity to see the distinguished statesmen. The immense assemblage evidenced a profound and sincere interest in the political topics discussed by the speakers and they were highly pleased at the manner in which the issues of the campaign were handled by the able and eloquent orators. Senator Fairbanks devoted a large part of his speech to the tariff and labor conditions and upon influences of sound laws and successful administration. "Two years ago," said the Senator, "I had the honor and pleasure of delivering an address on Labor day in this city. The occasion was one I shall not soon forget. There marched through the streets thousands of well-dressed, clean, intelligent, sober, orderly, patriotic American citizens, gathered from all branches of trade and industry. The demonstration was an honor to any community and to any country. No where else outside of the United States can be witnessed a like demonstration. What I saw was made possible in a very large degree by the policy adopted by the Republican party, which yields to our wage-carners better employment and better pay than is found in any other country with which we are familiar. "When labor is upon the payroll, times are better than when it is not. An idle workman does not make a very good market for the merchant or manufacturer or the farmer. We believe in a policy which not only enlarges the payroll, but which maintains the best possible rate of wages. There must be some margin beyond the mere necessities of the day. There should be something for the comfort of home, and something laid aside for the day of accident or the infirmity of age." The Senator closed his speech by saying: "We did well our duty in the last NUMBER 23. AIRBANKS President of the United States. two national campaigns. Let us not now jeopardize the fruit of those splendid victories. Let us not give over the administration of national affairs to the opposition which has, for so many years, antagonized every great measure which has made for our present prosperity and strength and power." The ex-mayor of St. Louis, Cyrus P. Walbridge, confined his address mainly to the state issues, state resources, and inducements to manufactures. Corruption in public office being one of the main issues of the state campaign, Mr. Walbridge dwelt at length upon the subject. In part he said: "Honesty in public office calls for personal honesty. It also calls for public honesty, which means that the man holding a public trust must not only himself be free from guilt, but he must use all the powers of his office to punish and prevent the guilt of others. The public official must not only punish dishonesty, he must do everything in his power to prevent it by surrounding himself with honest men, then setting to them a standard of truth and chivalric fidelity to the public service which will fortify his associates against the numerous temptations which come to them. We are told that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." If this be so the public official may have many pounds of cure by carrying with him wherever he goes, high and pure devotion to the public service and realizing that wherever he may be, he is the exponent of his state." Mr. J. E. Swanger, nominee for secretary of state, made a polished and interesting address, as did several of the other state nominees. Frank Wightman, candidate for railroad and warehouse commissioner, was also present. The program for the entertainment of the distinguished nominees was in the hands of Mayor Neff, President C. D. Parker of the Commercial Club; President H. M. Beardsley of the upper house; Speaker Homer B. Mann, of the lower house; U. S. Epperson, B. Welch, L. M. Jones, C. E. Small, Walter S. Dickey, S. B. Ladd, Senator C. W. Clarke, P. S. Brown, Jr. C. E. Moss and Dr. F. B. Nofsinger. Mr. Walter S. Dickey extended his hospitality to the senator and the state candidates by inviting them to luncheon at the Midland. Reli i us lhought The Vision of Christ.

It fs no easy task to be true in spirit and act to Christian vows and duties, Not infrequently those from whom most is expected are the first to show the difeulty of the task and how much there is need of the divine help. The Bible abounds in striking illus- trations, and many are afforded by the history of the church. Sin loves a shining mark, and at its cunningly devised strokes many have fallen in the pulpit and from places of power, ‘The power and the prevalence of sin 4s not confined to peasants’ cottages and among the lowly. The world of man fs its empire, and in the eye of God the great are as liable to error as those who are poverty-stricken and without influence.

Those who indulge fretful feelings, either of anxiety or irritation, know not what an opening they thereby give to the devil in thelr hearts, “Fret not thyself,” says the psalmist; “else shalt thou be moved to do evil.” And in entire harmony with this warning of the elder scriptures is the precept of St. Paul against undue indulgence of anger: “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place te ‘the devil.” Peace is the sentinel of the soul, which keeps the heart and the mind of the Christian through Christ Jesus.

What need have they of government reports to advise them how their bank accounts compare with those which they had when the “cost of living was cheaper” in the Wilson Iaw days? What heed will they give to the Dem- oeratic calamity cries when they look over their bank books and find their deposits have been climbing steadily? From 1897, when the Republican party was restored to npwer, the total sav- ings banks deposits went from $1- 939,876,085 to $2,065,631,298 in 1898; to $2,220,266,954 in 1899; to $2,419. 547,885 in 1900; to $2,597,094,580 In 1901; to $2,750,177,290 In 1902; to $2, 935,204,845 In 1903.

The Canadians would be perfectly willing to have free exchange of all raw materials, but they have given England a preferential tariff and will not consent to admit American manu- factures to Canada on fair terms. ‘The Canadians are doing well as they are, and are not as eager as formerly for American business. The Americans, on their part, are pretty sure to get a large dose of Canadian trade, and are shy of any such reciprocity as the Canadians will assent to, since such reciprocity would be death to the ag: rieultural and other important New England industries.—Lewiston (Me.)

Finally they discovered :that copper ore is on the free list and most of them ceased (c use this particular illustration, though they still proclaim that the tariff is the mother of trusts, thus conveniently forgetting, of course, that if this is true, then in this case ot the copper trust we have a crea ture that comes into the world with- out a mother, At the same time they might explain the window glass bust- ness.

Notwithstanding this it has been impossible to form a trust or a combination of any sort that would prevent the liveliest of competition. Here are two cold facts of more than ordinary importance in the business world that ought to be known to everybody—two facts that, standing alone, are sufficient to take the pith out of the theory that the tariff is the mother of trusts. And these are but two of numerous facts, all giving the direct le to this tarid theory. But what has the tariff re former to do with facts?—Greenfield (ind.) Tribune. To Kill a Snake.

DANGER IN A WATERSPOUT. Passed Close to Ocean Liner, Almost ‘ @ausine a Panic. Such passengers of the Koenigin Luise as had never seen a waterspout had an opportunity of looking one over, as that vessel was nearing port, end looking it over at such close range as to cause many to shrink back in affright. It was on Monday noon and on the outer edge of the Gulf Stream when the spout was first discovered. It was about five miles distant and broad off the starboard bow. ‘The word went round that a waterspout was in sight, and the 500 passengers who were pre- paring for luncheon burried on deck to see. The captain, with his chief officer, joined the fourth officer, who was keeping watch on the bridge, ané narrowly watching the swirling mass. calculsted that It would clear the ves vel and that it would not be necessary to alter her course in order to avoid it. ‘The spout rapidly drew near, and with base bubbling and frothing went swirling by a short 50 feet under the stern, making as it passed a loud hiss: ing, which was described like that of escaping steam. Just then @ rain squall came by, and after it passed the spout was seen ‘estern, dim and shadowy, like a long waving ribbon suspended from the clouds, Captain Volger estimated the pyra iu-shaped base to be 20 feet in diam: eter and the body about 5 feet in thickness.—New York Herald. ‘The Child’a Mistake.

Take mellow, full flavored peaches, wash but do not peel, slice, and put in a stone jar, which must be set for six hours in a kettle of boiling water. Cover the peach kernels with brandy and let stand till next day. Strain off the juice from the peaches, taking care not to squeeze the fruit hard enough to make the liquid muddy. Measure the juice and for each pint take a generous pound of the best refined sugar. Put sugar and juice together and let stand until next day, then bring the mixture to a boll, skim thoroughly, and strain it again through a bag of double cheese cloth. When it is cool add to it the brandy in which the kernels have been soaked, putting one pint of spirit to two of tyrup. Let it settle, and if not perfectly clear strain again. It ought to be either a clear pink, a bright yellow or a white, according to the fruit used. Use clear glass bottles. Put in the kernels, also a blade of mace, tied to a bit of yellow lemon peel, and a fragment of stick cinnamon. Cork, seal and keep in a dark place. The liquor improves with age. For Toilet Details. A capital notion is a large case of flax linen, daintily embroidered, with different sized receptacles for holding gloves, veils, cravats, waist ribbons and the hundred and one details that nowadays go to make up a well-turned-out woman's toilet. Vells carefully handled will last a long time, whereas, tossed into drawer without being folded, and stretched out to their original width, they scarcely last a week in a condition one would term respectable. The tendency of all these open-mesh woven things is to shrink. The fancy for the long gauze veil, with deep hem border, grows apace. That these spend quite half their life thrown back over the hat in nowise affects their popularity. Indeed, for such were they apparently ordained, the smart French and American elegantes flagrantly adding an ordinary fine, russian net for actual use. Batiste With Embroidery. The value of a tasteful wrapper that can be slipped on with case and which invites relaxation is well understood. This one is exceptionally attractive at the same time that it is wholly simple and is adapted to a wide range of materials. As illustrated, however, it is made of white batiste figured with pale green and is combined with a collar and frills of embroidery. The fronts are plain and loose, but the back is laid in inverted plaits, which provide additional fulness, and to the lower edge is joined the gathered flounce. The quantity of material re- ```markdown ``` Design by May Manton. quired for the medium size is 11% yards 27, 10% yards 32 or 6% yards 44 inches wide, with 4% yards of all over embroidery and 7 yards of edging 8 inches wide. Symphonies In Colors. Color symphonies are engaging the attention of both milliners and dressmakers at the present moment, when novelties in the way of new modes are no longer forthcoming. All sorts of fantastic ideas are being employed, and so that the colors harmonize there is no limit to the quiet and lovely conceits that a true artistic modiste can achieve. One of the most original of these creations for evening wear—but it is, alas! only for the fortunate few—is a a "sunrise frock," in which all the tints of the sky at sunrise are skillfully blended. The soft, cool gray of dawn, rose pink, an indescribable blue and a sort of mauve haze that trembles into white are all intermingled so softly that one is conscious of no details of the gown—only of the wonderful general effect. Girl's Apron. Pretty aprons are ever in demand. This one is novel and becomes ornamental at the same time that it serves the practical end of protecting the frock. As illustrated it is made of white lawn with trimming of embroidery and fancy stitching, but all the materials used for aprons are equally correct, white for the better sort, colored chambray, gingham and the like for those of harder usage. The apron is made with a yoke, that is extended at the front to give a stole effect, fronts and backs. The main portion is gathered at its upper edge and attached to the yoke and front and the closing is made at the center back. The quantity of material required of material require for the medium size (8 years) is 21/2 yards 32 inches wide, with 2/4 yards of embroidery to trim as illustrated. Pretty Necklaces Gold beads look very pretty worn above the low collar of a summer blouse. They are confined to day wear at present, while longer chains of rare stones are liked for evening. Coral necklaces, as well as those of turquoise beads, have come in with the reappearance of gold ones, and when becoming either of these is a very effective ornament. In one of the prettiest long chains the fine gold links are interspersed with oblong bits of cut aqua marines and swung on the end of the chain is a large locket, trimmed with the same stones, only smaller, and in the center rests a single diamond. For Tailor-Made Gowns. Chiffon cloth is being largely used for tailor-made gowns this summer. It is perhaps the most fashionable of all the thin fabrics, and, while it has all the ruppleness and evanescent beauty of chiffon, it also possesses the durability of cloth, and works up into the most fascinating of dresses. In the soft pastel tones it is exquisite, and it lends itself so very easily to the picturesque draperies and gagings that are now the mode. Lace is a charming adornment, especially that of a fairly coarse weave, and it looks well in conjunction with galloon, or silk braid, or even embroideries. Shepherd's Plaid in Early. Shepherd's plaid has made its appearance earlier than usual this year. As a rule, one encounters it only when summer is drawing to a close, and the "ping-pong" of the sportsman's gun is heard echoing across the moors. But for once in her career, fashion has anticipated matters, and shepherd's plaid is included among the check patterns considered modish in the way of tafetas and volles. Some very becoming shepherd's plaid gowns have been seen in ginghams and fine lawns, but the insistent little black and white check looks at its smartest in chiffon cloth. The Collar for Silk Frocks. For wear with silk frocks and ribbon stocks there is a decided demand for the modified medic collar, which takes the place of the plain ruching, now rather out of date. The new medic ruffle is of net or lawn, edged with valenciennes or mechlin lace, knife pleated, and is from one and a half inches to three inches deep. stands out very stiff and somewhat saucify from the stock. A New Ead in Ties Grass-green tape ties in white canvas golf and tennis oxfordes are a late summer fad at the country clubs, links and tennis courts. Both men and women have taken to wearing them. No. Time Lost. A mother, after days of preparation for a week's absence from home, suddenly remembered, after the train was well under way, that she had left a bottle of a certain well-known remedy within reach of the meddlesome little fingers of her three-year-old son. She remembered, too, that there was nothing that the child loved better than the aromatic contents of that particular bottle. Hurriedly calling the porter, the anxious mother prepared a message to be telegraphed from the first station. It read: "Hide bottle of Robbie's medicine. Left it on table in my room." An hour later she received this not altogether soothing message from the boy's father: "Too late. Bobbie got there first." —Chicago Record-Herald. Few Americans in Europe Travelers returning from Europe declare that the scarcity of Americans at continental resorts is very noticeable this season, and hotelkeepers are complaining that not in years have they come upon such hard times. HUMOR IN TEXT OF CLERGY. Amusing Remarks Which Were Most Seriously Intended. Part of the humor which one occasionally meets with, even in the sedate inclosure of the pulpit, is due to the queer texts which are sometimes—often unconsciously—chosen by preachers. No doubt there are many stories told under this head which owe their origin not to actual fact so much as to the invention of the wag. For example, a minister on the Sunday before his marriage is said to have chosen as his text, "And he went on his way rejoicing," and on the Sunday after his honeymoon to have eloquently discoursed on the words, "Remember my bonds." These instances are, probably, apocryphal, but the following are true and have all come within the experience of the writer. It was in the north of England that the first incident happened. It was a country church where oil lamps were used instead of gas. One night in the late summer when the lamps had not yet been resumed after the long days it got suddenly overcast and before the sermon it was deemed necessary to light the pulpit lamp. During the hymn the old seston repaired to the pulpit, and, having cleaned the glass chimney with a duster, lit it up, but only a feeble light struggled through. And then the clergyman took his text, which was this: "And now we see through a glass darkly." A Man's Woman. Ah, no, not sweet, the woman that I love. Nor fair, nor sweet, nor wise is she I love.

The total receipts from tobacco from all sources were $44,655,808.75 for the fiscal year, against $43,514,810.24 for the fiscal year 1902,1903, or an increase of $1,140,998.51. This increase is participated in by all branches of trade, except cigar manufacture—here we see a decrease of $236,756.01. As cigar manufacturing shows the worst condition, so tobacco manufacture shows the best condition. Receipts for this branch of the trade exceeded the receipts for the previous fiscal year by $1,077,790.02. The result of the year as a whole is satisfactory. In the fluctuation of business from year to year a uniformly good condition in all lines can not be expected. The output of manufactured tobacco for the fiscal year is larger than during any previous year, and aggregates the enormous amount of 328,650,710 pounds.—Western Tobacco Journal. Trying to Disgrace Them: Amusing stories of Major Sam Early, a brother of General Jubal A. Early, are still told in Charleston, W. Va., where he lived for many years before the civil war. The Major was a bigoted old line Whig, who hated a Democrat worse than a hobo does work. He had in his employ an frishman who aped his master in everything—dress, manners and politics. Prior to a certain state election, in which party spirit ran high, the Democrats had a torchlight procession. Imagine Major Early's chagrin and fury to behold marching in the van of his political enemies Pat, gloriously drunk. He lost no time in dragging the faithless one from the ranks and heatedly demanding the reason of his defection. "Sh!" answered Pat, with a maudlin wink. "Don't ez see Ol'm thyring to disgrace 'em!"—New York Herald. Still Failed to See. "I'd like to see a man kiss me!" she said with considerable spirit. "Well," he replied thoughtfully, "as a spectacle I think you would find it disappointing. The value of a kiss does not lie in the looks of it, you know. However, if you feel that way about it, I would suggest that you stand over here and look in the mirror. There, that's just it." "You horrid thing!" she exclaimed just about half a minute later. Afterward she confessed to her dearest friend that she was so preoccupied that even then she did not see anyone kiss her; but she was pretty well convinced in her own mind that some one did.—New York Tribune. Complimenting the Bishon It was noon hour and quite a number of workmen had dropped into the Subway tavern. He was a Hibernian, antique, grizzled, seamed, and warped with age, but he shifted his dinner ball with a certain sprightliness as he stopped on the way out to light his day. He eyed the clerk. "I hod a shrink," he prefaced with dignity. "Me name is Dinnis Mulcahy. I have h' distinction av bein' th' oldestaborin' man in New York. I am 91 years av age. Ye may tell th' bishop was in, an' that his liquor is virry excellent. Good-day"—New York Sun. WITH THE WORLD'S BEST WRITERS JAPAN'S EMPEROR. Very few people have ever known the emperor of Japan closely. He must be undergoing something of an evolution, for theoretically he is designed as a national figurehead rather than as a natural ruler. The present crisis must have brought him out as never before. The English sometimes date their pedigrees back to the conqueror with a certain pride. But Mutsuhito-tenwo, emperor of Japan, is the present representative of the oldest royal dynasty extant. He is the 121st emperor of his dynasty, which dates back in an unbroken line 2,555 years. He is the direct descendant of Ginmu, the "divine conqueror," who, according to Japanese mythology, "descended from heaven on the white bird of the clouds." Up to the opening of the present war the Japanese always carried the Oriental notion that their emperor should maintain a certain seclusion appropriate to his position. The fact that he was hardly known personally to his own people made him, however, more free to go among them incognito, which he is said to have done extensively. In the emperor's reign the bands of feudalism that bound Japan to the middle ages have been broken. He granted a constitution voluntarily, Literature, science and industry were encouraged. It was only the remarkable advancement in the reign of Mutsuhito that made it possible for Oriental Japan to be equal to the task of a possible successful war with Russia. War is costly, but it often lends the most powerful stimulus to advancement. Japan has made more progress within a few years than other Oriental nations have accomplished in centuries.—Boston Globe. FARMERS EAST AND WEST. An Iowa farmer who was bred in New England, after making a visit to the old farm, remarks that he observes an absence of the old-time thrift and application that once existed among the farmers of New England. He says they work 300 days a year in Iowa and that the New England farmer would have more "cash money" if he would labor on his farm at least one-third of each twenty-four hours for at least nine months in the months attend to the work of turning year, and during the other three the forests into fields. He admits that the New England farmer can make more dollars from an acre of corn than they can in the west, but that the western farmer makes it up by having more acres under cultivation. —Boston Globe. RUSSIA SHOULD RECALL HISTORY. Few, if any, incidents in her history have reflected more credit upon Russia than her declaration of neutral rights, in 1780, which led to the formation of the first armed neutrality. It is true that that declaration was formerly, perhaps first, made by Frederick the Great of Prussia, and that from him it was carried to Russia and suggested to the Russian empress by France. But Russia has always had the popular credit of it, and it would seem ungracious to try to rob her of it. Rather is it profitable to recall that in that famous declaration Russia limited the list of contraband articles to the items of arms and ammunition and sulphur. Nay, more. The immediate provocation of that act of Russia's was Spain's seizure of two Russian vessels laden with foodstuffs! It would be a strange turn about for Russia now to repudiate the principles of her famous declaration of neutral rights and herself to approve and commit the very acts against which it was a protest and a prohibition. In 1870 she organized an armed neutrality to uphold the principle that food was not contraband of war. Can it be that in 1904 she will set herself against all the world by declaring it is contraband of war? In a century and a quarter has the world, in her opinion, relapsed so far toward barbarism? New York Tribune. THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER'S TEST. That the Russians have fought so well after three months of steady defeats and retrograde movements speaks highly for the character of the rank and file. Over-burdened and ill-shod as they have been, fighting far from home in tropical heat, for reasons unknown to most of them, the position of the enlisted man has been bad enough to try the Spartan three hundred. Should there now be a severe defeat, followed by a rapid retirement of the army upon Mukden or Harbin, the troops will be subjected to the severest test to which armed men can be exposed. Only an army顽强ly disciplined, well commanded, devoted to its officers, and enthusiastic in its cause can come through such an experience without disastrous results. Of the Russian army of today it is only known that the men are generally devoted to their officers. It must not be forgotten, moreover, that the early disasters of 1877 in Bulgaria did not prevent the Russians from going to the very walls of Constantinople later—New York Post. IS CRIME INCREASING? Whenever a crime of unusual turpitude is committed, and particularly whenever a number of such forbidding events occur in quick succession, we hear much about the "epidemic of crime," accompanied by lugubrious comment to the effect that wickedness is increasing, that it is outrunning the growth of population, that the country is rapidly degenerating. It has become the settled conviction of minds chronically indisposed to look upon the sunny side of things that the criminal population is increasing at a more alarming rate than at any time in the country's history, yet no prof is at hand to support this pessimistic view. Penologists are awaiting trustworthy and sufficiently comprehensive statistics on this interesting subject, Samuel J. Barrows, Commissioner for the United States on the International Prison Commission, declared in a paper published in 1903 that for want of any comparative statistics in the United States it is extremely difficult to say whether criminals are increasing with reference to the population, inasmuch as so much depends upon the activity of the police. Mr. Barrows observes that as social relations multiply the standard of propriety and good conduct and of social protection is constantly raised, and when new laws are rigidly enforced "we may expect an increase for the time being in the number of offenders until society has adjusted itself to the new requirements." It may be noted that the system of news gathering has been brought to a high pitch of efficiency in our day. Every crime, of importance occurring almost anywhere in the country is immediately reported. *We hear very much more about crime than our for bears did. The diligence of the reporters and the news agencies create the impression that the world is growing worse. The law-abiding millions attract little attention.—Philadelphia Ledger. CULTIVATE A HOBBY. "Since the home woman is the indispensable woman, it is a pity she so often allows herself to fail in her full development and reward," says an editorial in Harper's Bazar. "She is apt to be so unselfish and so conscientious that she lets the four walls of home narrow about her, and the simplest remedy is to have at least one outside interest. The woman who takes up one hobby, one charity, one line of work beyond her household cares, and follows it steadily, will find that it brings freshness and power with it. It becomes both outlook and inflow to her. And the woman with a hobby grows old so slowly that she often never grows old at all, but keeps to the last that freshness of interest which is the mark of youth." SPORT AS A PEACEMAKER International sporting events are of immense value in promoting good feeling between neighboring peoples. Men are like boys in that respect; good playmates seldom become very bitter enemies. Orientals break brand together and are thereby debarred from lifting their hands against each other. Occidentals break "records" in friendly competition, with a like effect. The Lipton races for the America's Cup have been great promoters of the Anglo-American "entente." They do not, of course, decide the question for statesmen; but they incline the common people—who are the rules of both nations—toward a friendly policy. The automobile races between the French and the German chauffeurs have also been having an undoubted effect in bringing those two peoples together. King Sport is a peaceful Prince. Friendly sporting clubs can do quite as much for the world's peace as so many peace societies with their solemn resolutions and their lurid definitions of war. Peoples who visit each other as competing athletes and who entertain each other so generously that the visiting club never has quite a fair chance for the trophy, can with the utmost difficulty be induced to go gunning for each other in deadly earnest. The Sportsman's Cup is the modern substitute for the pipe of peace.—Montreal Herald. A CHANCE FOR PUBLICITY If it were possible to compel the national committees to keep an accurate record of and publish a true account of their expenditures for campaign purposes a work of the utmost importance would be accomplished. England has virtually eliminated the bribery of voters in her parliamentary elections by requiring that each candidate's campaign expenses shall be recorded and made public. If the campaign fund accounts were made public, instead of being kept secret, there would be no need to "fry the fat" from corporations or men. All the money actually necessary for an honestly conducted campaign would be willingly contributed by public spirited citizens of either party. Only through publicity, full and complete, will campaign funds cease to be corruption funds.-Philadelphia Ledger.

FREE TO 25 LADIES The Defiance Starch Co. will give 25 ladies a round trip ticket to the St. Louis Exposition, to five ladies in each of the following states: Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri who will send in the largest number of trade marks cut from a ten cent, 16ounce package of Defiance cold water laundry starch. This means from your own home, anywhere in the above named states. These trade marks must be mailed to and received by the Defiance Starch Co., Omaha, Nebr., before September 1st, 1904. October and November will be the best months to visit the Exposition. Remember that Defiance is the only starch put up 16 oz. (a full pound) to the package. You get one third more starch for the same money than of any other kind, and Defiance never sticks to the iron. The tickets to the Exposition will be sent by registered mail September 5th. Starch for sale by all dealers. When you meet a chronic borrower it is wise to ask him for a loan in self-defense. Why It Is the Best is because made by an entirely different process. Defiance Starch is unlike any other, better and one-third more for 10 cents. Meat Bad Food. The idea that meat is necessary to sustain strength is a superstition of the past. There are 25,000 vegetarians and physical cultureists in Greater New York. In the Brooklyn Physical Culture society there are 300 young men and women who are strong, healthy, rugged individuals. They are perhaps the finest representatives of physical manhood and womanhood, and prove that meat is not necessary to perfect physical health. Judicial Wig Discarded. Mr. Justice Bray, of London, has set an example to some of his learned brethren. His lordship, recently on taking his seat in the king's bench division, removed his wig, and sat without it, a hint which was at once acted upon by the members of the junior bar. Lord Justice Mathew also on entering the court of appeal, carried his wig in his hand, and handed it to his clerk, remarking: "Take it away." Pension Report The annual report of Pension Commissioner Ware, covering the fiscal year ended June 30, 1904, shows that during the year the cost of maintaining the system of the government has been $144,712,787. The appropriation for this purpose was $146,149,296, leaving an unexpended balance of $1,706,508. During the year 43,374 persons were added to the pension rolls and 49,157 were dropped. BUILDING FOOD When a little human machine (or large one) goes wrong, nothing is so important as the selection of food which will always bring it around again. "My little baby boy fifteen months old had pneumonia, then came brain fever, and no sooner had he got over these than he began to cut teeth and, being so weak, he was frequently thrown into convulsions," says a Colorado mother. "I decided a change might help, so took him to Kansas City for a visit. When we got there he was so very weak when he would cry he would sink away and seemed like he would die. "When I reached my sister's home she said immediately that we must feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I had never used the food, we got some aid for a few days gave him just the juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He get stronger so quickly we were soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and in a wonderfully short time he fattened right up and became strong and well. "That showed me something worth knowing and, when later on my girl came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and she is a strong healthy baby and has been. You will see from the little photograph I send you what a strong, chubby youngster the boy is now, but he didn't book anything like that before we found this nourishing food. Grape-Nuts nourished him back to strength when he was so weak he couldn't keep any other food on his stomach." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

IN KANSAS CITY. TWICE ALL THE REST. The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. This is a busy week for school teachers. The Afro-Americans are with Roosevelt because he is with them. "Thrice armed is he whose cause is just." Our cause is just and we are bound to win. If Parker is elected wages will go down. Remember that, Afro-American working people. We should rely upon the strong common sense of the people to rebuke Democracy at the polls. The Republican party seeks to convince the people. The Democratic party seeks to scare them. Stay at home and don't go a flirting with eagles that have no wings; they may not land you softly; they haven't done so yet. So let every Republican vote his own ticket. The Department of Justice, under the Roosevelt administration, has unearthed many cases of peonage in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and successfully prosecuted many Southern Caucasians who were holding their Afro-American brethren in bondage. In every instance the offender was a Democrat. The United States, by constitutional amendment, has given the right to vote to every man without regard to race or color; but this enactment of the whole people is nullified by the Democrats of certain Southern states, who declare that only Caucasians shall exercise the rights of suffrage. The Republican party has taken up the matter and made a declaration for reduction of representation in cases where the franchise has been unconstitutionally limited. This will be carried into effect by the next Congress. "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago. I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry came rushing up the hill, carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union.—President Roosevelt. Every now and then the bad element of Negroes of this city becomes fierce and vicious as was shown to be the case on Labor Day, when the Rev. Dr. Hurse was threatened by a mob of North end Negroes, (among whom were women), because he remonstrated with them for drinking beer and carousing on the public highway. There were also several other morpilizing scenes in which the low class of Negroes figured. The law should be applied most vigorously in these cases. The fact that the bad negroes of this city are becoming worse and more brazen is to be regretted. Nothing but the strong arm of the law can hold them down, and it is hoped that the authorities will enforce it to the letter. Wait for the Moberly excursion Sunday, Sept. 11th, via WABASH. CRUEL AMERICAN LYNCH LAW Says the Colliers' in its September number: "The darkest fears are almost justified by so gross, cruel, and unexcused a case of lynching as the last, where two negroes were burned at the stake, although they were under sentence of death. It almost makes us believe that Professor James may have been right when he foresaw burning at the stake on Boston Common. We know nothing in the contemporary history of the world more discouraging. Cruelty in Russia leaves us at least the refuge of belief that if may end with the ignorance of the people and the false system of government. The Georgia disgrace is without one redeeming ray of light. It reminds us of that terrible story of Booker Washington's, which we have told before, of the fair-haired little girl who said, "Mother, I have seen a negro hanged. Now I want to see one burned." The protographer was present here to give the last touch of grotesque horror to the tragic satire. It was undiluted hatred and love of criminal excitement. To compare it with the Spanish inquisition would be unjust, for the inquisition at least sought an object. The trial of the negroes had been prompt and their day of execution was near. The brother of the murdered man begged the tigerish human beings to disperse. The crowd merely refused to miss the fun. The time may come when some hopeful side may be seen again. For the present it makes us book upon the future with discouragement and doubt." REPP & DUFF'S MAMMOTH FUR- NITUE STORE. Located West Side of Main, Between Twelfth and Thirteenth Sts. (Joe's Letter to Jane), Kansas City, Mo. My Dear Jane:—You requested me, (in your last epistle to the heathen), to call at Repp & Duff's and select a complete outfit for our new house, just finished.

Again, their prices and courteous treatment made me an easy and willing customer.

"Arizona," which will be presented at the Grand, is so well known that it seems superfluous to recite the story again. Suffice to say that this charming comedy-drama which has received such an enormous amount of praise in America comes to this city this season with a fresh scalp at its belt, having but recently returned from a triumphant tour of all the principal cities of England and having received the personal endorsement of King Edward VII. "Arizona" is without doubt the best play which Mr. Augustus Thomas has ever written and the production of the same and the company engaged by Messrs. La Shelle and Raymond are second to none in the present theatrical era. The story of "Arizona" is interesting throughout the entire four acts, and there is not a moment from the rise to the fall of the curtain when the interest of the spectator lags. "Arizona" is an American play, and will live long in the hearts of the American theater-goers. DR. CROSSLAND OF ST. JOSEPH SHOT. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, was fatally shot last Tuesday in a duel with Dr. W. S. Carrion. The shooting took place in St. Joseph. The duel grew out of an alleged flirtation of Crossland with Carrion's wife. The men met in a barber shop and, on the suggestion of Crossland, withdrew to the street, where the firing began. "Gorgeous." "Gorgeous" came to have its present meaning in the sixteenth century. "Gorget" was the name applied to the high Elizabethan ruff, so an elaborate dress was called gorgeous, and elaboration of any sort came to be called gorgeousness. Insanity in English Cities. London has the largest proportion of insane of any English city, the number being 361 per 100,000. Nottingham is a close second, with 342 per 100,000. Bullfrogs as Sentries A Pennsylvania fisherman has discovered that bullfrogs act as sentries to fish, and that it is useless to try to catch bass when a deep-voiced, bellowing frog is watching. Little Extra Charge for Pomp. Little Extra Charge for Pump. A Southwest London undertaker gives notice that he conducts funerals with economy and dispatch for thirty shillings; with pomp for forty shillings. Storing Coal in a Tree In the churchyard at a Welsh village there are four huge yew trees, and a large cavity in one of them, which is protected by a door, is used for storing the coal needed to heat the church during the winter months. The cleanest town in the United States is said to be Shakertown, Ky., inhabited by Shakers. It has a large prick hotel, but no business houses. World's Most Famous Church. St. Peter's at Rome is in the form of a cross 636 feet long and 450 feet wide. Its height is only two feet less than its width. Tree Provides illumination. The "tallow tree" of Malabar yields from the seeds of its fruit by boiling an excellent tallow, which serves as a valuable illumnant, both as oil and by candles which are made from it. Russian and British Colonies Although Russia's Asiatic possessions are six times the size of the British, they have but twenty-five million people, compared with 297 million under British rule. Glass a Good Writing Surface. Glass is used as a writing surface of the desks in an English postoffice. It answers its purpose well, and is easily kept clean. Man's Highest Virtue. Man's highest virtue is always as much as possible to rule external circumstances, and as little as possible to let himself be ruled by them—Goethe. Nice of Her. When you are taking a girl home at night it is intelligent of her to cross over to the dark side of the street without your saying anything about it.—New York Press. The Rev. W Cunliffe, an English Episcopal clergyman, illustrates the wonders of nature and power of God by chemical experiments in his pulpit. Smallest Inhabited Island. Smallest inhabited island. The smallest inhabited island in the world is that on which the Eddystone lighthouse stands. At low water it is thirty feet in diameter. € The folly of that handful of negroes calling themselves Lincoln Republicans, in making a spectacle on themselves before the civilized world by even suggesting the nomination of a negro for president, will do much toward making for us a host of enemies among those who are already jealous of the privileges we have. The negro has not learned to govern his home or his church. These things come first. When we have discipline at home and sufficient bank account to permit us to live well upon our income, then may we cast about for a position of honor, that takes thousands of dollars a year to keep it up. Let us busy ourselves in securing good homes, in getting on foot business enterprises where the boys and girls may find employment, in seeking to overcome the malice and spite and envy that so long have divided our efforts and made the best among us little more than the worst. No, the need of the hour—the crying need—is not a negro president, but more negroes that are breadwinners for their families, noble examples of manhood to their sons and protectors of the virtue of wife and daughters. ROOSEVELT. Somehow, when we heard of his nomination at the late Republican convention we felt a premonition that at the proper time his election to the chief office of the United States would follow. Be that as it may, our desire is that such will be the case, and that another four years of prosperity will be ours to enjoy. This may sound or read a little premature, but all the same we feel that Theodore Roosevelt, the present incumbent, will most assuredly occupy the exalted seat another term. So far as the colored race is concerned, we feel sure that as a race and American citizens, they will receive justice at his hands. In the past, Roosevelt has been friendly, considerate, and as to the future, we have no fears, but rather an abiding faith. Roosevelt is a literary statesman, a man who thinks and then acts, with the precision of a skilled marksman. In the affairs of state he is "at home," and we believe well qualified to sustain and guide the things on hand to a successful issue. At least it is the aim and ambition of the Rising Son to work faithfully and steadily for the cause and elect good men to positions of honor and trust. NEGROES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR If things are as they say, good will be done. There must be an element of good in anything that will make negroes sticw together and resent insults that are needlessly thrustt upon them. In time they will learn to forsee these unpleasant features and take steps to forestall them, but never can this be done until they love self less and each other more. PECULIAR FACTS. It does not matter what a white publisher says in als paper concerning a Negro, the Negro subscribes for the paper and pays for it every week. If the white publisher should tell the Negro to stick his head in the fire and burn it off, he would promptly obey, and his friends buy the paper and pay for it. The time has come for the Negroes to consider these things. Subscribe and pay for journals run by colored publishers, and thus enable the journals to say more about the race.

Baron Se- bastian Petrovies, tthe owner of Zsaby, had not yet retired, but was deep in a book He hurried to the telephone, Haulo! Petrovies, What can I do for you, countess?” An excited femate voice, the sobbing of which betrayed only too plainly that something had happened, —replled: “Are you there, baron. shank God, you are at home. Please come over at once: burglars are breaking into the house!” 1 will come immediately,” the baron sionted into the telephone. “Bolt the doors, and let no threats prevail upon you to open until 1am there. [shail take men with me, Jo ten minutes! Be brave, countess!” He did not wait for the answer; snatching his hat, revolver and sword, Le rushed out of the room, swung him Seif on his horse and called to his mon: “Follow me as fast as you ean!” He spurred his horse and galloped toward Gyongy. Gyongy was the property of Coun- tetss Gulacsy, separated from Zsaby only by @ narrow strip of woodland. The owners of the two castles led a retired life, the baron from necessity, for his finances did not allow him to continue the extravasant life he had lod in first youth; the countess from ‘a hatred of people whieh had Induced her to take refuge in this secluded Spot. Her marriage had not been a happy one, and her husband's conduct hal made the thought of men hateful toner. it was only a certain commun: ity of interests which had brought het ant the baron together. They werd neighbors, and could not avoid a meet ing from time to time. Gradually sh became accnstomed to Petrovies, whe was An excellent companion and knew how to make Ume pass in pleasant conversation, Once he had said to the countess: “You see, countess, you make me hap py when you allow me to amuse and entertain you.

When the burglars appeared, the male serv: ants happened to be away on various errands. ‘The enormous Newfound: land dog barked furiously. He at- tacked one of the villains, but a pistol shot soon made an end to the faith. ful animal, ‘The report roused the in- mates of the house.

The burglars seemed to be numer- ous. They hammered at the lattices of the windows, and swore to set fire to the house if the doors were not opened. Mme. von Csongay was be side herself with fear; she was say- ing the Lord’s prayer over and over, and muttered between times: “It is over with us. They will murder us.” ‘The bandits now tried to burst open the outer door, and the noise was ter- rible; but the countess was no longer frightened, for her fine ear had detect: ed the sound of hoofbeats, and soon she saw three horsemen coming at a xallop Shots were heard outside. The noise was deafening, and above the tumult rose the death-ery of the burg: tar who had stood guard. After a while quiet ensued, and was broken only by the commanding voice of the baron, The countess turned white as death; ft was not her own fate, but that of the baron, which frightened her. Feverlsh and trembling, she opened the door; the baron stood be- fore her. When she saw him safe and sound she swayed, and would have fallen if the baron had not caught her in bis arms. About a year and a half later afte that exciting night a happy familj event was celebrated at Gyongy— the baptism of the first-born son o the Baron Petrovics and his wife, for merly Countess Gulacsy, Mme. von Csongay played a more important part than ever. The cham paene and the joy had loosened he: tongue, and while she caressed th baby she remarked, jestingly: "Yor owe it all to me; both you, my pre cious, and your father.” She turned to the baron with 1 meaning glance, The baroness looke up and saw It, and also that her hus band flushed crimson.

HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS, Show Curiosity. It you world have friends, be inter. ested in them, There fs a difference between inter: est and curiosity. Never be curious, Interest asks nothing, but Is glad of others’ joys and sorry for others’ misfortunes. Curiosity seeks to find more than is written upon the surface, seeks it for the purpose of distribu tion, for innocent slander. One's friends like one to be inter- ested. They detest one who ts curi- ous. ‘To be interested in those one meets needs but to wish them well. To see the best of those about us will cause us to wish them well, ‘To our well-wishers we pour out our Joys and sorrows. They are Interest: ed. They understand. ‘The interested friend always under- stands. The curlous acquaintance never sees through motives. ‘The curt. ous one is blinded by his own Inter- pretation of causes and his prejudiced view of results, Don't, therefore, seek to know what is hidden.. If your friends conceals something from you he has a reason for doing it. Prove your interest and your lack of vulgar curiosity by trust: ing him in spite of the concealment, Those who are truly interested and never curious are surrounded by friends.—Detroit Tribune. William Penn's Grave. I notice that one or two of your correspondents seem concerned about the condition of William Penn's grave. Having, while in England dur- ing the summer of 1902, visited Jor- dan’s Meeting House and burying ground, where the remains of Wil- liam Penn lie, I can testify that the graveyard was then in a respectable condition, and the graves of William Penn, his two wives, Isaac Penning: ton, ‘Thomas Ellwood and others prominent in their day, were well kept, and marked by neat, modest head stones, after the simple manner of the Society of Friends. The little graveyard and the meeting house close by are under the care of trus- tees, who appear to guard and pro- tect the property carefully.

Rocke- feller already has contributed §1,250,- 000—have been filed with the New York Department of Public Butldings. Since then work upon the excavations has begun. < ‘The central laboratory will have a 361foot frontage on Sixty-seventh street and a depth of 230 feet, extend- ing south. It will be five stories in height, with a facade of Vermont or Massachusetts limestone and terra cotta brick, decorated with pilasters of stone, and having a porch entrance supported by ornamental columns. As the main purpose of the institu- tion will be to experiment on animals, and as {t is intended to have large numbers of animals, ranging from the domestic cat and dog to the monkey, reptile, and their kindred of the wild, special provision has been made to maintain a temperature in each case to accord with the climate to which the various species are accustomed. As the reptile tribe requires warmer weather than domesticated animals, a temperature of 65 degrees will be maintained for them the year round. The same rule will be observed with rabbits, tigers, and other herbivorous and carnivorous beasts. What is called the combustion room, together with the machine room, a large operating hall, and quarters for the assistant directors will occupy most of the second floor, while the third floor will be devoted to a spe- cial study and laboratory for the dl- rectors, with minor laboratories and sterilizing rooms for special opera- tions and experiments. Research rooms, special laborato- rics, an incubator, which will be the largest and most improved in exist- ence, and two general laboratories, ‘will be on the fourth floor. Admirably located on the fifth and top floor of the main building will be the photo- graphic galleries and storages for negatives, it being intended to ple- ture each and every important ex- periment or operation made on the ‘premises. The remainder of the up- ‘per floor will be devoted to the at- tendants and their families. But to the lay, as well as profession- al, mind special interest centers in the ‘animal house, or hospital. As pre- viously stated, tho animal house will be heated to varying temperatures, in accordance with its specific animal patients as they come and go—are cured or killed, In the center of the building will be a large pool, or tank of graded depth, where the large ani- mals will be bathed. Provision is made for douche, Turkish and other baths, one of the early experiments being the water cure for all sorts of skin or eruptive affections. Mr. Rockefeller is a great believer in frequent and thorough bathing as @ preventive as well as a cure for many primary diseases, explained an institute official, and it is in accord- ance with his request that a goodly quantity of mineral waters, both hot and cold, will be installed in the ant- mal house, to be used in exhaustive experiments on the lower animals. In one corner of the two-story build- Ing will be an inoculation room, with drying cago and laboratory adjoin- ing. Preparatory apartments and a sterilizing hall will lead into the main operating room, leaving the entire rear portion of the building to be oc cupled by the cages, From the grano- Uthic floors to tno stone and steel walls of these cages nothing will be overlooked in making them cleanly and supremely comfortable for thelr intended habitants, Indeed, as much care will be taken with these patients as with thove in the various public and private hospitals over the city. The animal hospital will be 80 feet in depth and 40 feet wide.

Supt. Flexner has for years been {dentified with the Johns Hopkins unt- versity, and it was as a tribute to his brilliant record there that the Stan- dard Oil magnate chose him to have the active management of the Rocke- feller institute. Its president is Prof. William H. Welch, also of Johns Hop- kins university, and the other officers are vice president, T. Mitchell Prud- den of Columbia university, and secre- tary, L. Emmett Holt. Early and exhaustive experiments will be made in seeking a remedy for Ngentery. “In order,” sald an emt- ne®t New York physician who will be identified with the new institution, “that experiments may be made wita the greater accuracy, it is planned to have several monkeys as patients as soon as the butldings are ready for occupancy. Special attention will be paid to milk and water supplies, as it is believed that the prime source of this disease is in milk and water. “It has been demonstrated that a simian, when fed on bread and milk rarely lives over three or four years, and frequently only a year. On a nor- mally healthful dict such animals should live from twenty-five to thirty years at least. Yet we find that the monkey in captivity is prone to tuber- culosis, his diet consisting generally of bread and milk, as with children. In this wild state the monkey has of all animals the hardiest constitution But as his captors lose no time in sub- stituting artificial for natural food, in- stead of grains, vegetables, and fruits, bread is given him to eat and milk to drink, one drop of which contains more tubercule than many miles of cli- ‘mate. Henco an exhaustive research will be made to determine the exact danger of ratsing children on a bread and milk diet. “Our researches will embrace phar. macology and therapevtics as well as nominal and pathological physiology, and many of tho foremost scientists of the day will be attached to the in- stitute when it is completed.” Several leading physicians and sur- geons have indorsed the Rockefeller institute as providing a long-felt want in the battle of man against disease, and they expect some of the most im portant questions of materia medica to be answered by it. Veiling this new and novel as wel as costly institution is one of the few tragedies in this life of the Standard Oil king which have ever come tc light.

W. Chace, “constitute one of the most readily salable classes of merchandise which is Imported to this country, and it ts @ source of wonder that American Kentus hax not devised some way in which to meet this demand with a do- mestic article which will serve the same purpose and can be sold at something like the same price. “But It has not,” he continued. “We have had many machines invented, but the nearest we can come Is to manufacture a type of lace which fs naturally cheap and does not in any sense approach its hand-made forcign rival. Of course, American women could be taught in time to knit such fine fabrics as their sisters do in Ire- land, England, France, Germany and Spain; but we in this country are too busy making money to waste time in that way. “I have traveled all over Europe, and the most interesting method of making lace over there that I came across was at Plauen, Germany. It is woven on a kind of bolting cloth made of fine silk, and after the patterit is completed a certain acid, parts of which are kept secret, is applied and the bolting cloth eaten away, leaving only the lace. They also have a way of altering the strength of the acid in order to give the lace a rich, old color."—Loulsville Herald. EGYPT'S PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS. Agricultural Interests Alarmed at Phele Ravana. There is every probability of the Plague of locusts which has now de- scended on Egypt proving a very seri- ous one, Great anxiety is felt for the young cotton and other crops. The locusts first arrive in compara- tively small numbers, but they mult ply very rapidly as soon as they reach the edge of cultivation, Within ten days the young insects, still wingless, advance in a solid phalanx, sometimes two or three feet deep and several talles In length. It is essential that at this stage they should be destroyed as it would be impossible to check the ravages of flying locusts. The method adopted during the last visitation, that of 1890, was to dig deep trenches, sometimes miles in length, between which and the ad- vancing swarm huge heaps of straw were laid and fired. Any locusts which succeeded in escaping the flames and smoke fell into the trenches, where they were destroyed by natives under the supervision of English instructors. It is a providen- tial habit of young locusts never to turn back or aside when once start- ed, no matter what obstacles are put in their way.—Cairo correspondence London Daily Mail. } ‘BlaraallOn: Min. Marelane: Disraeli autographs, formerly among the ecarcest, threaten to glut the mar: ket. At least a dozen have been put into the hands of the auctioneers and dealers during the last few days. One of the number has that touch of nature which makes men kin, It is a letter written to announce his marriage, and is addresecd to his un- cle, Mr. Basevi, the parliamentary lawyer. “I rather think,” he says, “that you will not be so much sur- prised as I am, that I am going to be married, and you can even hazard a conjecture as to the lady who is about to make me a happy man.” : Alas, there is no footnote to say whether and to what extent the neph: ew “drew” his uncle. A wedding pres: ent was likely to be acceptable enough to Disraeli at that date, when he was still in the hands of his compatriots— the Jews; and though his uncle was a man of means, he was also a man of prejudices, and of these his nephew had the full disadvantage—London Daily Chronicle, Willd dae at Ranta dinlax ‘OF the wild dog of central Agrica an explorer writes: “The wild dog is common enough, He is an ugly look- ing beast, with a pied body, coarse hair, short head and large upright ears.
