Beacon Lights FOR NEGROES A Negro exhibit will most likely be feature of the St. Louis World's Fair. J. Milton Turner is reported to be a-candidate for the office of commissioner general of the exhibit. Colored citizens of Pine Bluff, Ark., have organized a new bank, J. N. Donoho is the leader in the move. Colored banks are becoming quite numerous throughout the country and all are reported to be successful and well conducted. * * * The colored voters of the ten city wards of Hartford, Conn., are going to hold a meeting in the near future to elect delegates to the city caucus of colored voters, to take action on the selection of a man for the position of deputy sheriff. This will be the first time in the history of Hartford that the colored citizens have received any political recognition. — Indianapolis Freeman. --- A colored man over 160 years old residing in Gmaha, by a recent decision of the courts of that state, became a millionaire. He was willed a tract of land a long time ago by his white master, but a white man claimed the land and sold it out in lots. Now numerous fine cottages are on the colored man's land. He says that every man who had to work for his land shall be allowed to keep it, but rich folks will have to pay for same.—Indianapolis Freeman. --- To Investigate Applications: A Washington dispatch says: President Roosevelt received a call from William Pledger, a well known Negro politician of Georgia, and Bishop A. Walters, a prominent colored church man, who desired to discuss with him the general subject of the appointment of Negroes to Federal offices. The former is acting president of the Afro-American Council, the leading Negro political organization of the country, and Bishop Walters is chairman of the executive committee of the council. They told the president that they feared he was being embarrassed by many pending claims of Negroes for political preference, and indicated their intention, after consultation with colored men throughout the country, to call a meeting of the executive committee of the Afro-American Council to be held in Washington for the purpose of devising some means of regulating the claims of the cases of those who are not entitled fairly to such consideration. The executive committee consists of three members from each state. It is proposed to suggest to the executive committee the creation of a central committee of prominent colored men, the duty of the committee being to pass finally upon the claims of Negro applicants for federal appointment before they are presented to the president. It is pointed out that this or some similar plan would relieve the president from such annoyance, and the promoters of the idea hope to see it carried into effect. The president did not indicate to his callers what his views respecting their plan were. --- Negro Who Defended Jeff Davis. A Jackson, Miss., dispatch states that the postoffice incident at Indiana serves to recall the fact that the first Negro appointed to a public office in Mississippi was Charles T. Montgomery, a former slave of Jefferson Davis, and brother of I. T. Montgomery, now the government receiver of public moneys at Jackson. Charles Montgomery was selected by General E. O. C. Ford, the military governor of Mississippi, as a justice of the peace, and served quite acceptably in the office. I. T. Mohtgomery, the receiver of public moneys, is one of the best known Negroes in the south, and he enjoys the distinction of being the only colored member of the constitutional convention of 1890. Up to a short time since he was mayor of the town of Mound Bayou, in Bolivar county-which is populated exclusively by colored people. He has always been classed as a "white man's Negro," and attained considerable prominence some time since by an article in, which he made a vigorous defense of Jefferson Davis. Concerning Dr. Crum's Appointment. In a special article the New York Herald prints the views of Governor Heyward, of South Carolina, touching the appointment of Dr. Crum. The article in part is as follows: Governor D. C. Heyward has given his views on the president's southern policy, as indicated in the appointment SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 31, 1903. The of Dr. Wm. D. Crum collector of the port of Charleston, against the protests of the people of Charleston. Governor Heyward is a conservative southern business man. He employs many Negroes, many on his plantation being the descendants of his father's and grandfather's slaves. He said: "I think President Roosevelt has made a mistake that will shake the faith of many people, north and south, in his wisdom and judgment. Misguided, and viewing the situation from but one side, he has done much to disturb that good feeling and faith in justice that President McKinley caused to spring in southern hearts. Was not the southern policy of the martyred president good enough to continue? "President Roosevelt thinks we are prejudiced against the Negro, and to cure us he adopts the expedient of making him more obnexious. To heal antagonism between men, parties or races he would increase the irritation. To encourage the Negro to attain scholarship and wealth he would raise him to responsible places above the whites—the whites of the south who have in their poverty taxed themselves to give the Negro some education; who, other things being equal, give employment to the Negro in preference to whites. "The white people of South Carolina are today educating more Negroes than white children in the common schools. The Negroes are cared for in almshouses, hospitals and asylums, and in all this state not one who is willing to work is out of employment. None die from want. Every opportunity for material, moral and intellectual advancement that the Negro had has been given him by the whites of the south. "We of the south do not hate Negroes. We have, as a people, infinitely kindlier feeling for Negroes among us than is entertained by the whites in the northern and western states for the Negroes who live among them, Address to the Public by Afro-Ameri can Council, The executive committee of the National Afro-American Council, in session at Washington, passed a resolution Monday urging confirmation by the senate of the nomination of Dr. W. D. Crum, to be collector of customs of Charleston, S. C., and adopted an address to the country on the race question in general. The address is signed by Alex Walters, chairman of the executive committee. Cyrus Field Adams, secretary, and William A Pledger, acting president, National Afro-American Council. The address in part is as follows: "It is evident to the thoughtful among us that we are passing through one of the most critical periods of our existence in this country. A systematic effort has been inaugurated on the part of the south which has for its object the withdrawal of the franchise from the Afro-Americans of that section and their reduction to a position of absolute subserviency in all the relations of life. It has been openly declared by some of the most prominent leaders of the south that it was the intention of the framers of the new constitution to disfranchise as many Afro-Americans as possible and leave every Caucasian in full possession of the suffrage. The effect has been that not only has the Afro-Ameri can been disfranchised, but also that a very large number of Caucasians, who previous to the adoption of these constitutions, participated in elections have ceased to register and vote. "We contend for our constitutional rights on the ground that the right of suffrage has been conferred upon its citizens by the federal government. "We heartily commend the Afro Americans of Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana and other states who are seeking redress through the courts of the land and we pledge them our moral and financial support. "We denounce the mob murders now so prevalent in this country. "We call the attention of the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of southern states much resembling the old peonage system and ask for legislation looking to the remedying of the evil. "We submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of passengers in southern sates, discriminating unjustly against Afro-Americans; requiring of them the regular rates of travel and privilege in return the poorest accommodations in carriage, and we invoke the exercise of the powers of the interstate commerce commission to prevent discriminations in rates and accommodations against interstate passengers. "We appeal to congress for favorable action upon one of the several measures now pending-therein for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the condition of Afro-Americans of the country. "We heartily indorse the deliverances of President Roosevelt with reference to the fitness for appointment to office and the attitude of the federal government toward all of its citizens, regardless of race or color. He has imparted new life and vigor to the time-honored principles and tradi- tions of human rights and has given hope and inspiration to a people struggling heroically beneath the burden of hate and proscription. We commend Theodore Roosevelt to the affection and confidence of our people, regardless of party affiliation." Cream of News.

SCORES ARE MANGLED Frightfully Horrible Wreck on Railroad in New Jersey. FLAMES ADD .THEIR TERRORS The most appalling railroad wreck that has occurred in the vicinity of New York in many years, the loss of life being estimated at not less than thirty persons, took place Tuesday night at Graceland, near Westfield, N. J., on the Central railroad of New Jersey, when the Royal Blue line express, westbound, plunged, at top speed, into the rear of a local train. Seven bodies have been identified, while sixteen more, almost unrecognizable corpses, have been recovered. After the crash three cars of the local train took fire, rendering impossible the rescue of many of the wounded who were plunged fast in the wreck. Many bodies are believed to have been consumed. On board the flyer all the passengers, although badly shaken up, escaped uninjured, except for trifling bruises. The train which was run into left New York at 5:45, runs as an express to Boundbrook, making stops at Elizabeth, Westfield and Plainfield. Beyond Boundbrook it runs as a local. The Royal Blue train left fifteen minutes later. It travels at a high speed, and makes no-stop except at Elizabeth and is scheduled to overtake the slower train just beyond Graceland, where the latter switches from track three on to track four to permit the Royal Blue to pass. At the time of the accident a freight train was blocked on track four and the local received orders to proceed on the express track to Dunellon, and there take the outside, or No. 4, track. Shortly after-receiving orders the train had to stop for a hot box, which delayed her so that when she got under way again she was due at Dunellon. She had just started and was moving slowly when the Royal Blue, traveling apparently at full speed, which at that point usually approached 65 miles an hour, crashed into the rear end. The heavy engine of the Royal Blue toro its way in the rear end of the car ahead, which in turn was driven into the third car, and this in turn was driven into the fourth car from the rear. The fourth car was only partly wrecked, but the last three were torn to pieces. The Royal Blue engine left the ralls and turned over on its side, the engineer and fireman sticking to their posts and going down in the wreck. Hundred Dead and Hurt. The engine and the three worst wrecked cars were piled into a heap, containing at least one hundred dead and injured. From the mass $ ^{o} $ came fearful cries for aid. A minute later the wreck caught fire from the firebox. The screams of the injured in the heap were intensified as they found themselves hemmed in by the flames. The passengers in the two forward cars of the first train and all the men from the express and every one in the neighborhood started at work to get out the injured before the flames could reach them. At times, while toiling in the wreckage, the flames reached the rescuers and their clothing took fire, but they worked on, though in danger of death themselves. Some of the injured were burned to death in sight of the men who were working with desperation to save them. The flames soon gained complete mastery of the last two cars. The sight while the wreck was burning was horrifying. Men could be seen in the wreckage plined fast amid the timbers of the cars and struggling to be free, while the flames roared around them. President of German Restchalt Angered- ed. Over Krump, Enkothe Count Ballestrem has resigned the presidency of the German rechstag in consequence of disapproval of his attitude during the attempt, January 20, of Herr Vollmer, socialist, to raise a debate in the house on the charges brought against the late Herr Krupp and on Emperor William's telegrams and speeches on the subject. The president at the time declined to permit the discussion on the ground that it was out of order to discuss a private person while debating the budget. "JIM HOWARD SHOT GOEBEL." In Confession of Youtsey to Frankfort, Ky., Grand Jury—Ex-Governor Taylor and Others Implicated. A special from Frankfort, Ky., says: Henry E. Youtsey, in his confession as to his part in, and knowledge of, the conspiracy which terminated in the assassination of the democratic claimant to the governorship, declares that James B. Howard, of Clay county, fired the shot that killed William Goebel. The convicted man now says that he has made a clean breast of the details of the plot and has told everything he knows, "fully and frankly." He said that the shot was fired from the front window in the private office of Secretary of State Caleb Powers, and that he and Jim Howard were the only persons inside the room. He named William S. Taylor, Chas. Finley, Caleb Powers, John L. Powers, William H. Culton, Wharton Golden and William J. Davidson as consplorators with him. CRAZY LOVER'S DEED. Killed Girl Who Spurned His Note and Negro Boy Who Delivered It. Ell S. Rogers, a well known young man of Union county, shot and killed Will Richardson, colored, and, after walking 200 yards from the dead body of Richardson he deliberately leveled his gun at Miss May Pressley and killed her instantly. Rogers wrote Miss Pressley a note several days ago and the negro, Will Richardson, was the messenger who delivered it to the young lady. When Richardson returned Rogers asked for the reply. Richardson told him there was none, and furthermore added that Miss Pressley laughed when the note was handed her. Nothing more was thought of the incident until Monday, when Rogers went to Richardson's house and called him out. Just as Richardson stepped from his door Rogers fired at him. The ball entered the negro's heart and death resulted almost instantly. Rogers left the dead negro and proceeded to the house of Jackson Helms, the stepfather of Miss Pressley. Arriving at the house he rang the bell and Miss Pressley came to the door. Without saying a word he pulled his gun and shot the young woman dead. Rogers has twice been an inmate of the state asylum at Morganton. He is 25 years old and his people are quite prominent in that section of the state. LUNATICS DIE IN FLAMES. Big Asylum in London Destroyed and Fifty of the Patients Perish. A London dispatch says: About fifty insane patients were burned to death by a fire at the Colney Hatch asylum Tuesday morning. The outbreak occurred in the Jewish wing of the institution. The flames spread with great rapidity and before it could be under control, five wooden buildings, including dormitories and the doctors' apartments, were gutted. All the efforts of the officials were directed in removing the insano inmates, but the latter became wild, excited and so panic stricken that not only were they unable to help themselves, but greatly impeded the operations of those trying to save them. There were nearly 600 women in the burned annex at the time the fire was discovered, and most of them were safely transferred to the main building, which was uninjured. Some, however, escaped and are still at large, rendering it difficult to ascertain the exact number of those burned to death. MORE TIME IS GIVEN. President Roosevelt Notifies Senate of Extension of Cuban Treaty. The president Monday sent to the senate an agreement with Cuba extending the time for ratification of the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Under the terms of the Cuban treaty, ratification was required by the 31st of January and it had become apparent that the time limit was too short. EVERY VOTE FOR PETTUS. Beloved Alabama Senator Urdanimous Choice in Democratic Caucus. At Montgomery, Monday, General Edmund Winston Pettus was declared the people's choice by the joint democratic caucus of the two houses of the Alabama legislature as his own successor in the United States. senate. The caucus had a full attendance and much enthusiasm was manifested when General Pettus' name was presented to the caucus. The nomination was made by a rising vote and overly member present rose when the vote was put. NO.17 Alabama Senator Doubtful as to Herran's Credentials. HIS ACTION CREATES SURPRISE Charge is Made that Colombian Government is Not in Stable Condition and Authority in Signing Treaty is Questionable. A Washington dispatch says: Senator Morgan, chairman of the interoceanele canal committee, offered in the senate Monday, a resolution questioning the credentials of Thomas Heran, charge d'affaires of Colombia, who recently signed with Secretary Hay the isthmian canal treaty. Mr. Aldrich immediately made the pont that the subject must be considered in executive session, and the senate went into executive session on motion of Mr. Hale. The point which Senator Morgan made was that the solidity of the government, which accredited Herran to the United States, was doubtful and it should be inquired into by the United States. As soon as the doors were closed Mr. Morgan took the floor and discussed the subject at some length. He said there had not been an election in Colombia since 1888, and that it was questionable whether the present acting government had authority to send a representative to the United States. Senator Morgan's resolution relating to Senator Herran was, after considerable discussion in executive session, referred to the committee on foreign relations. Senators Lodge, Foraker, Cullom and Hanna spoke briefly, most of them simply urging the reference of the question to the committee on foreign relations. They did not enter into the discussion of the general question at issue, beyond saying that to adopt the resolution would be to impeach the character of our own treaty-making officials and to offend the government of Colombia. No one except Senator Morgan opposed the reference of the resolution to the foreign committee. It is the opinion of other senators that his act will not delay ratification of the treaty beyond the time Senator Morgan himself consumes in discussing it. A good deal of surprise was expressed by state department officials when they learned of Senator Morgan's action. They had expected that Senator Morgan's anxiety for a canal would cause him to throw no obstacle in the way of the Panama treaty, though it was, of course, recognized that he has lost none of his love for the Nicaragua route. LECTURED IN THE DARK. Beer-Swiggers at Dallas, Texas, Play Mean Trick on Rev. Sam Jones. While delivering his lecture on "How to Get There and Stay There" Saturday night in Dallas, Texas, the lights were turned out on Rev. Sam P. Jones, and he was forced to speak for nearly an hour in the dark. It seems that the managers of Turners' hall, controlled by Germans, the place in which Mr. Jones was lecturing, had entered into an agreement with Mr. Jones' local manager that nothing was to be said regarding prohibition, and when Mr. Jones in the course of his lecture, took up the subject of prohibition in his usual vigorous way, the management thought to stop the lecturer by turning out the lights. Opponent of Teller for Senate Gives Advice to His Supporters. The climax in the senatorial fight in Colorado came Sunday night when ex-Senator E. Q. Wolcott, the candidate of the so-called "stalwart" ring of the republican party, announced his practical withdrawal from any further contest and urged the people of Colorado to accept the situation as it stands, by the election of Senator Henry M. Tellér to succeed himself. REUNION TO BE HELD IN MAY. Committee of Confederate Veterans Select New Orleans for Next Meet. The Confederate reunion committee, in session at New Orleans, announces that the contract for the auditorium in that city has been let for $11,200 and work will begin on it as soon as the races are over. It was also officially announced through Adjutant General Michel that May 19, was the day for the reunion to begin. Plans for raising the $100,000 for the reunion are being pushed by Charles Frank T.

Taylor, reported o sermon from Psalms 26:1, “Judge me O Lord,” in which David’s impli- cit faith aud confidence in God was ‘most beautifully portrayed under several brilliant metaphors, showing first, that David had perfect confi: dence in himself and desired that God should prove him; second, he had implicit-faith aod confidence in God and invited atrial of himself on the part of Jehovah ; third, ‘he: wag not afraid of the many firery trials and temptations to which he had been exposed or shirked the 1e- sponsibility of his own conduct and position. He was not afraid of the result of this judgment for which he so earnestly supplicates, for he adds “I have trusted in th Lord; therefofe’1 shall not slide.” Tev. ‘Taylor Was followed by Revs. J. W. Roberts, D. 8. Wells and G. L. Word in a bappy refrain of complimentary remarke on the sermon. Rev. Singleton reported a sermon from Rev. 1:7, “Behold he cometh with clouds”, which was treated under the caption of Chriat’s second coming, showing that there is aday fixed for the general judg- ment, and that his coming will be in that body with which he rose and left the dead: for John added that “Brery eye shall see him”. The sermon as briefly outlined demon- strated a masterly spirit and force- ful deliverance in its deep ’scriptural deductions and theological exerge- sis as it was freely commented on by Reve: Welle, Hadley and Taylor Also Rev. Wells reported s sermon from Luke 9:9, subject “Herod’s in- quiring at the fame of Jesue.” Dr, Wells reported a very interesting outline of a most practical and heart-searching doctrinal discourse, for which space will not permit # practical or more comprehensive and verbatum aualysia Rev.

Dreher of Columbia, S. C., arrived in our city on Wednesday last. They are gentlemen of great business experience and men of ability and means. Mr. Miller conducts one of the largest clothing business in Columbia, situated on the main retail street, similar to our Broughton street. He has been in business there for about eighteen years, and has made a flattering success. He stands well with the business element of his city and easily ranks with any of them from a financial view. He and Mr. Dreher came to our city on a prospecting tour. They have heard much of us and the possibility of conducting a successful business here. They were received with open arms and shown around the city and made acquainted with our business outlooks. On Thursday afternoon they were given the opportunity of meeting some of our citizens who are deeply interested in things of a commercial nature, and from what was said to them they feel that if they locate here they would make no mistake. It was the purpose of these gentlemen to open a very large store with several departments such as gentlemen's clothing and furnishings, shoes, bats, ladies' furnishings mulinery, etc., but endeavoring to find a suitable location and a sufficiently large store, they were unsuccessful, and for this reason if they decide to come, they will only open the clothing and possibly shoe department until they can secure a larger store. They are favorably impressed with our city and its people and we feel that the impression is so great that they will establish a business here. It would be a great thing if they would. It would be the means of adding an impetus to our people that they have not had for a long time and THE TRIBUNE will be able to proclaim that its efforts in advocating the establishment of more race enterprises have not been in vain. Died Suddenly. Mr. Samuel A. Brown died suddenly on Tuesday morning last at his late residence on east Anderson street. When Mrs. Brown saw him swooning she assisted him as best she could and immediately called in medical help, but to no purpose, life had become extinct. Mr. Brown had been for the past several years employed at the post-office, and was well-liked by all with whom he came in contact. He was a member of Armour Lodge No. 1884, of Odd-Fellows, and was to have been advanced to the position of presiding officer on the night of the day that he died. He was buried on Wednesday afternoon. The funeral was largely attended and the last sad rites of the Odd-Fellows were performed over his remains. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. J. Durham, D. D. Instructive Lecture. On Sunday afternoon last at the Young People's Forum at the First Congregational Church, Dr. W. C. Blackman gave an interesting lecture on the "blood." He was greeted by a large audience and he was listened to eagerly. The doctor had prepared his subject well and gave information that will be of untold benefit to all of his hearers, if heeded. The other parts of the program were well received. These Sunday afternoon gathering of young people is meeting with increased interest and attendance. Our City Physicians. Among the city officers elected on Monday, were Dr.J. Henry Bugg and Dr.P.E. Love. Dr.Bugg has served several terms as city physician, and has discharged his duty to the satisfaction of all persons concerned. He had the honor of receiving a unanimous vote, which shows his popularity with the city fathers, and which also attests the esteem in which he is held by his fellow-citizens. Dr.' Love is also faithful in the discharge of his duties, and is well liked Dry Bones in the Valley.

LOGAN, Sole Agent, Perry and Randolph Streets THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without gripping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please to remember, the full name of the Company—CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.—is printed on the front of every package. In order to get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine only.

My first experience of color in the Arctics, says Frank Wilbert Stokes, whose story and pictures of "The Aurora Borealis" are a feature of the February Century, led me to believe that, from the most regal purples, golds, and crimsons of sunlight to the blackpurples, grays, and gray-greens of storms, there existed no intermediate effects. But a sojourn of a year in the northland proved that great Nature's palette was here set with more varied riches than elsewhere. Especially was this true of the color-effects of the long twilight of approaching winter, the returning light of day, and even in the heart of the polar night.

A pearl fisher of western Australia named Broome has found a pearl whose value is estimated at $75,000. Unexplained Antipathy of the Latter For the Former. The disappearance of caribou before the invading herds of red or Virginia deer is one of the puzzling facts of natural history. The red deer are not half the size of the caribou, yet it is beyond dispute that even where the latter exist, in largest numbers they will rapidly disappear before the advance of the former. Years ago caribou abounded in the woods of northern Malne and in the province of Quebec. Then the graceful little red deer driven north and west by the wolves, gradually spread into the home of the caribou, and within a season or two the latter had become as scarce in their old home as the red deer previously had been. On the other hand, the north country of Canada, in the neighborhood of Lake St. John and St. Maurice, which formerly supported vast herds of deer, has been completely deserted by them for many years past, though moose and caribou are plentiful. Equally far north, in the Ottawa and Gatineau country, red deer and moose are found in very large numbers, but no caribou. Owing largely, it is supposed, to the increase in the number of wolves, the range of the red deer is rapidly extending to the south and east, and specimens have been seen and killed in parts of the country north of Quebec, where they had not been seen before for more than a generation. The Indian and other hunters are already foretelling the disappearance of the caribou from this part of the country, where they are at present very abundant. There is a theory that the instinct of the caribou tells them that an invasion of their feeding grounds by the deer is due to the pursuit of the latter by the wolves, and that it is the horror of these pests which leads them to forsake any territory to which they seem to know that their distasteful neighbors are fleeing for refuge. There are not wanting careful observers among Canadian woodsmen who attribute to foulousy of the little Virginia deer, at the approach of the mating season, the action of the caribou in fleeing with its mate from the company and the country of his gay little rival. The problem is a most interesting one, and is engaging the attention of many investigators—New York Sun. German Children Walk. (From Charles Gerould's "Child Life in Germany," in February St. Nicholas.) If I were asked what is the favorite amusement of German children, I should answer, taking long walks into the country. The love of nature seems to be born with most of them. Besides, they are sturdy young folks, and are perfectly willing to put up with inconveniences. For these reasons they are just the people to enjoy walking in the country, and the practice begun in childhood is kept up during life. When the children go on these long walks, they often carry what we should call a botanical box (that is, a tin box about a foot and a half long, with rounded edges, and a lid on hinges), slung over the shoulder by a strap.

"If you were to set me down in New York blindfolded I could give a pretty close guess as to my whereabouts by the smell of that particular locality," said a salesman in The Swamp, "if my nose seemed stuffed with hides and tallow I should know that I was in the immediate vicinity of Gold, Cliff or Frankfort street. A pronounced odor of spices would indicate Fulton street, in the neighborhood of the East River; but if tea and coffee predominated the chances would be strongly in favor of Front, Pearl, or Water street. A saccharine quality in the air would suggest the sugar and molasses neighborhood of William, Wall, or Front streets. Perfumes would place me at once on Leonard or Chambers, or possibly Grand street, while a strong odor of soap would let me know that Pearl or Murray street, or perhaps Greenwich or Hudson was not far off. If the atmosphere was fairly reckling with the scent of drugs I could figure out that I had wound up somewhere near Fulton, William, or Cliff street. Tobacco would give me a wide range, but I should probably be near Pearl, Pine, or Broad street. The smell of hops would be a sure indication of Whitehall street. West and South streets have their distinctive odors of shipping and seamen's supplies." Pocket Typewriter. The pocket typewriter is the very latest device to lessen the task of newspaper men, detectives, and any and all persons who need to take notes on any subject when the use of pencil and paper would be an inconvenience. The invention makes it possible for one to take down a conversation, a speech, or any remarks that he may choose to record, without even removing his hands from his pockets. The feature of this unique little word-recorder is its simplicity. Its casing is of hard rubber, its interior of aluminum. The dimensions of the casing are four by three. In the casing are two little spools, that hold rolls of tape quite similar to the white paper in the ordinary ticker. By merely pressing four keys on one side of the casing, and by the manipulation of a space key and a number-indicator, anything that the human tongue can utter can be put down in symbols. The inventor asserts that anyone can master the manipulation of the machine within two hours' time, and can within a week become an expert in taking down anything, from speeches to market reports.—Tit-Bits.
