Rights to Route are Vested in the United States. Contract Signed, Scaled and Delivered at Paris and Financial Negotiations with Company A cable dispatch of Friday from Paris says: The Associated Press is authorized to announce that the contract by which the ownership of the Panama canal passes to the United States is signed, sealed, delivered and complete. The title to the canal route is now vested in the government of the United States. The document by which this transaction is consummated bears the signatures of President Bo and Director Richman, of the Panama Canal Company, who signed for the company as its responsible officials. The transfer is complete and without reservation and the United States secures a perfect title. This result has been accomplished quietly and most unexpectedly, as the public has been given to understand that the contract would not be executed until after the meeting of the stockholders of the Panama Canal Company, at which the question of ratification would be presented As a matter of fact, however, when the meeting takes place, President Bo will announce that the sale has been completed and instead of asking for authority to execute a future contract it will only remain to ratify the contract of sale, which the officers of the company have already formally completed. It is confidently believed that the completion of the sale before the meeting will increase the vote for ratification, as it will be recognized that nothing more remains but to acoulesse in the action taken by the highest officers of the company. When W. A. Day and Charles W. Russell, the United States assistant attorney general, who are in Paris to assist in the transfer of property, were seen Friday night by the Associated Press they reluctantly admitted that the transfer had been consummated, and in order to avoid understandings regarding a transaction of this magnitude they furnished the following official statement in writing: "The papers transferring the rights and property by the new Panama Canal Company to the United States have already been executed and delivered. They will be ratified tomorrow afternoon by the stockholders' meeting. "The arrangement includes a general conveyance and provisions for deeds in the republic of Panama and in the canal zone now under the jurisdiction of the United States, in which zone the civil law continues in force by reason of the cession of the zone from a civil law sovereignty. All formalities of the local law on the isthmus have been arranged for and secured to the United States. "The property will shortly be delivered on the isthmus, and upon that being done the purchase price will be immediately paid. "The full total of the principal documents will be made public tomorrow night. The United States gets an unincumbered title." ISELIN IN FRENCH JAIL. Prominent American Financier Is Held Under Charges at Paris. The American embassy at Paris is making urgent representations' to secure the release of Henry Iseltn, a prominent American living there and highly connected in New York. Mr. Iselin is director of a financial institution and is detained pending an investigation into the alleged relations of his bank with the defunct Barque Centrale, the recent failure of which and the flight of its director agitated local and financial circles.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 30. 1904. JAPS ARE HARD HIT Report. That Four Thousand Were Sent to Bottom. FOUR TRANSPORTS SUNK Vladivostock, Fleet Said to Have Got in Some Good Work in Intercepting Troop Ships of the Enemy. The St. Petersburg correspondent of The Matin (Paris newspaper) says: "I learn from a sure source that the Vladivostock squadron yesterday (Tuesday) sank four Japanese transports which were conveying 4000 men." According to advices from Liao Yang, between Monday night and Tuesday morning the Japanese forced a passage of the Yalu, two companies crossing between the Chang Djou and Siaopoussikhe. Heavy firing was heard near Latung-Kau, in which it is believed the Japanese made a feint in order to distract attention from the real point of passage. A St. Petersburg special says: The censors committee did not give out the dispatches received Tuesday regarding the movements of the Japanese across the Yalu river. It was intimated that information had been received that the Japanese had crossed the river, but this was accompanied by a statement that the success of the enemy should in no sense be regarded as an important victory, the Russians having no intention of vigorously contesting the passage, their plan being to annoy the enemy as much as possible. Niuchwang Bombarded. It is reported upon good authority at Tientsin, China, that the Japanese fleet bombarded the town of Niu-chwang Monday night. The Russians deny that there is any truth in the report. King Edward Not Meddling. Inquiries made by the Associated Press in London reveal no traces of any effort or intention to intervene in the Russo-Japanese war. No step looking to a pacific settlement of the conflict has been taken by the foreign office, nor, so far as known in Downing street by King Edward himself. Those who have discussed the war with the king within the last few days say that such a step is the last thing he contemplates. Naval Methods Criticised. The Novoe Vremya, St. Petersburg newspaper, in its issue of Tuesday, contains a remarkably free-criticism of the Russian navy, which reads in part as follows: "It would be well to put an obellsk in front of the admiralty inscribed 'Remember Makaroff.'" His death should be the signal to destroy the old order of things, of which he fell a victim after heroically doing his best with the defective weapons at his disposal. Makaroff's death marks a new era for the Russian navy. The old days marked by a muddle of carelessness and inefficiency are over, and we have learned our lessons. "The present war is unlike any previous war, in that the whole nation is following its phases with breathless anxiety. Our nerves are strained much, as are those of the defenders of Port Arthur. We weep over our reverses, and rejoice at the slightest success. Like the English in the Boer war, we are one of the greatest-of the world powers fighting a smaller one, and the sentiment of patriotism overwhelms all other considerations." For Jamestown Exposition. Representative Lamb, of Virginia, has introduced a bill in the house appropriating $300,000 for the purchase and preservation by the government of Jamestown sland, Virginia. PRIEST MURDERS BOY. Used Club Because Youth Was Dereelict in Attending Church. The Rev. Bishop Garak, rector of the Polish Catholic church at Snow Shoe, Pa., Monday was arrested and taken to jail, charged with having caused the death of Andrew Sosko, a 16-year-old boy, by beating him with a club. It is alleged the boy refused to attend church. A few hours before his death the boy made an antemortem statement declaring that the priest had beaten and kicked him. TORNADO DEALS DEATH. Dead and Dying Strew Path of Frightful Storm Which Swept Indian Territory and Texas. Six persons were killed by a tornado which swept through the county about four miles south of Prior Creek, Indian Territory, Monday night. Reports have been received that a number of others were injured. The dead are: John Abbott, wife and two children; Albert Dealy, aged 6 years; Lucy Bitting, aged 8 years. At Grand River, eight miles farther on, the Bitting house was demolished, killing Lucy Bitting and breaking both legs of her father, L. Bitting. The tornado then passed into the Flint hills, cast or the river, and tore a strip through the woods as clean out as if it was done by wood choppers. Many injured in Texas. A special from Houston says: A tornado passed three miles east of Mexia, Tex., early Monday, demolishing the houses of A. C. Shanks, R. M. Bonner, George Wolf and L. Bachelor. Miss Jennie Shanks was probably fatally injured, and all of the members of the Shanks family were hurt W. E. Bonner and his daughter were blown from a carriage and seriously hurt. There was a large amount of minor damage. News comes from Pine Bluff, Ark. that a tornado passed over Jefferson county, killing two children and doing heavy property damage. At the town of Sherrill many buildings were blown down, including the residences of. W. A. Barrett, W. A. Payne and others. The house of Peas Thomas, a negro who lived a few miles from Sherrill, was blown down, and his two children killed. Seven Killed Outright Half a dozen business blocks were destroyed by a tornado that swept through Fairland, I. T., Monday, killing seven persons outright and injuring a number of others. Three of the injured will die. The dead are: Mrs. Mary Lamar, Mrs. John Lemaster, Arthur Brought, a child of N. J. Houck, Elijah Russell, his wife and child. It is estimated that the tornado caused property damage to the extent of $10,000. NEW ALABAMA GOVERNOR. Lieutenant Governor R. M. Cunningham was sworn in Montgomery Monday as governor of the state. R. F. Ligon, clerk of the supreme court, administered the oath of office. Governor Cunningham immediately took charge of the affairs of the office. Governor Jelks is ill in New Mexico and Governor Cunningham, who was touring in England, was telegraphed for to come and take charge of the office, as it was not known what time the governor would be able to return. Governor Cunningham is going to carry out the wishes of Governor Jelks in reference to the appointment of a successor of Secretary of State J. Thomas Heflin, who has resigned. Governor Cunningham late Monday afternoon telegraphed to Governor Jelks telling him that he would appoint the man he named for the place. It was not thought that Governor Cunningham would take charge this early, but it is said to have been the wish of Governor Jelks, so that the business of the office would not get behind. News from Governor Jelks is that he is doing well. RECEIVERS FOR B. & B. ROAD. Judge Speer's Court Takes Charge on Complaint of E. C. Machen. Railroad circles in Brunswick, Ga., are in a stir over the appointment of a reciver by Judge Speer, of the United States court for the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad, E. C. Machen being the only complainant, who claims that the road is indebted to him $3,000 for services when president John R. L. Smith, of Macon, is the receiver. The order issued by Judge Speer prohibits the officers of the Brunswick and Birmingham sanctioning the sale to the Atlantic and Birmingham, and further restrains the Brunswick and Birmingham from carrying out the conditions of the sale. Just why Machen has taken this step is unknown. He claims that the road is indebted to him only $3,200. When the stockholders' meeting was held there March 29 to confirm the sale of the Brunswick and Birmingham Machen did not participate at all. It has been learned that a petition was filed in the superior court several weeks ago by the Knickerbocker Trust Company, of New York, asking for a receiver for the road, but this was only done to protect the bondholders. RUSSIANS GET BUSY Vladivostok Fleet Bombards Korean Coast Town. A JAPANESE SHIP SUNK Czar Spurns Offer of Mediation by England and Denmark—Floating Mines a Menace on Yellow Sea and Gulf of Chi Li. An Associated Press dispatch from Tokio says: The Vladivostock squadron, after a long period of inactivity, suddenly appeared off Gensan, on the east coast of Korea, Monday morning and sank the Goyo Maru, a Japanese merchant steamer of 600 tons. A brief telegram received from Gensan stated that three Russian cruisers had entered the harbor, and that they were still there when the telegram was sent. Their arrival created consternation in the unprotected Japanese colony at Gensan. It is thought in Tokio that this Russian naval movement was made in the hope of intercepting some unprotected Japanese troop ships. It is not believed that the squadron will remain at Gensan long. The Vladivostock squadron consists of the cruisers Rbessia, Gromobil, Rurik and Bogstyre. The last is a protected cruiser and the others are armored cruisers, the four being among the most prominent in the Russian navy. Gensan is about 350 miles southwest of Vladivostock. Floating Mines Menacing. The Japanese lines operating steamers on the Yellow sea and Gulf of Chl lI are canceling their sailings beyond Chemulpo, Korea, on account of the mechanical mines adrift from Port Arthur and Port Dalny. A cruiser discovered one 40 miles off the Shan Tung premontory and exploded it with a shot. It is known that the storms and currents have detached many mines. Several of them have been discovered and destroyed, but it is foared many are being carried southward by the currents. Even in daylight navigation is dangerous, because some of the mines float slightly submerged. Various expedients for freeing the sea of these derelicts, mostly, impracticable, have been suggested, including a search by neutral warships outside the zone of operations. Mediation Rejected by Czar. The Associated Press at St. Petersburg is enabled to announce authoritatively that the talk of mediation in the Russo-Japanese war was founded upon the personal desires of King Edward and King Christian of Denmark to avoid further bloodshed and end the conflict, but that the steps initiated have utterly failed. The emperor, with the full concurrence of the imperial family and his advisors, has finally decided not only to reject all proposals looking to intervention, but to prosecute the war with all the resources of the empire until victory crowns Russian arms, and when the time comes for peace do make terms directly with the enemy. The interference of outside powers will not be tolerated. There is to be no repetition of the Berlin congress. Furthermore, the Associated Press is authorized to state that Russia would in nowise consider herself bound by the propositions made to Japan prior to the war. The hostilities have wiped out the arrangement's Russia offered to make with Japan regarding Korea and Manchuria, and Russia will consider herself free to impose such terms as she desires. HARVARD GETS A MILLION. Contest Over Will of Gordon McKay Withdrawn at Boston. The will of the late Gordon McKay, of Newport, which provides for a bequest of over $1,000,000 for Harvard University, was allowed Monday by the probate court at Boston, Mass. Miss Harriet Abbott, a distant relative, who had contested the will, withdrew all objection. REWARDS FOR LYNCHERS. Governor of Alabama Determined to Uphold Law of the Land. Governor Jelks, of Alabama, has offered a reward of $400 for the first arrest and conviction of a person implicated in the lynching of Reuben Sims, a negro, of Baldwin county. Rewards of $100 each were also offered for the second and third persons arrested and convicted of being implicated. Sims was lynched because of the assassination of Dr. C. D. Cole, a prominent citizen of Baldwin county. NO. 30. MAY CHANGE DATE. Suggestion that Memorial Day in the South be Observed June 3d, Jefferson Davie' Birthday. A movement to have the date of Memorial day in the south changed from April 26 to June 3' was launched by Judge John W. Akin, of Cartersville, Ga., during his speech Tuesday afternoon at Oakland cemetery, Atlanta, as the orator of the day for the Ladies' Memorial Association, and his suggestion provoked prolonged and hearty applause. If the members of the Ladies' Memorial Association agree with Judge Akin regarding the matter, it is probable that the matter will be brought to the attention of the general assembly of Georgia during the meeting that is to be held this June, with the request that June 3 be made a legal holiday instead of April 26. Two arguments were presented by Judge Akin as to why the date of Memorial day should be changed. The first reason was that there is a dearth of flowers on April 26, and the second was that June 3 is the anniversary of the birthday of President Jefferson Davis. Regarding this suggestion Judge Akin said: "Here I leave my prepared speech to make a suggestion to you. The weather today is sufficient argument in favor of what I say. I suggest that Memorial day be moved from April 26 to June 3, which is the birthday of the president of our southern confederacy, Jefferson Davis. (Cheers.) "As I say the weather we have today is sufficient argument why this should be done. Let the ladies, through their organizations, take the lead, and the state legislatures will follow. We will make a national holiday of the birthday of Jefferson Davis, "Here in the cities where flowers can be bought from the stores it is bad enough, but you will find in the country a dearth of flowers for use on Memorial day. "But there is another argument why we should change the day from April 26 to June 3. Whatever may have been his faults, whatever may have been his weaknesses—although to me he had neither faults nor weaknesses—he, was the official head of our southern government, our hones were centered in him and we ought to honor him. "When defeat had come to his government, when the north was beginning to forget, he was placed in a dungeon, his tender limbs were shackled and he was chained to the floor by order of a dirty villain in the shape of a man who afterwards became head of our army, Nelson A. Miles." (Loud and prolonged cheering.) SCHEDULE-CF A. B. BAXTER. Liabilities Placed at $857,616 and Aspects at $220,295. A New York dispatch says: Schedules in the assignment of A. B.

SATURDAY APBIL 30, 1904. CHRONIC fault finders and kickers accomplish but little good for the mass. CRUM failed of confirmation at this session, but the President will not forsake him. THE Atlanta Age is now managed and edited by Mr. A. W. Burnett, one of the oldest newspaper workers in the state. CONFIDENCE in each other is a quality that many of our people are void of. It is derived from a diseased mind, tainted with begrudgefulness. The young man who have organized to encourage other young men to pay their tax should be commended. Every young man's name should be on the tax book. Put certain of our people to fighting the leading ones among us and they will be in their glory. They take more delight in doing this than contending for the rights of the people. In every phase of business the white man finds it necessary to work in union. This is an important lesson that each one of our business men can learn and practice profitably. THE condition of the Republican party in certain states in the South is not such as is approved by the colored contingent in those states and likewise by those of us in other states. Such condition should not prevail in this state, but their is a certain element working hard to press it. It is hoped that this will be checked in time. We have nearly the rhy-two thousand persons in this city and there are but few business enterprises conducted by our people; and they are poorly patronized. The pridie of race and the desire to go onward among the galaxy of other races should be instilled in the minds of every one. THE resignations of Editor T. Thomas Fortune as president of the Afro-American Council and chairman of the Executive Board of the Press Association, are not looked upon with favor. Editor Fortune's host of friends like to see him in harness, but believe that he will continue to fight the battles of the race, out as well as in office. THE closing exercises of Spellman Seminary commence to morrow by the seismon to the society by Rev. P. J. Bryant. D. D. The commencement sermon will be preached by Rev. E. R. Carter. D. D., on May 15; class day exercises May 16; alumnae meeting May 17 and 18. An invitation has been extended us which we her-by acknowledge. The Negro has some friends left and if he will play the manly part, and stand up for his constitutional rights, they will not desert him, but help him. But in God's name, let the Negro cause fighting, and criticising each other, even if he can't agree. Let us have an era of peace. Can't we have a Negro millennium even if it lasts only a few months? —Herald. From the St. Luke Herald published at Richmond, Va, it is found that at the mass meeting of the representative citizens to protest against the jim crow street cars, there was only one minister present. This does not speak well for the gentlemen of the cloth in Richmond. They should be among the foremost ones to advise the people to stand for their manhood rights. THERE are a large number of young men who are in fairly good positions whereby they can better their condition in a few years if they would only act more prudently and do not spend so much of their earnings for pleasure. Thousands of dollars are spent each week by these young men for those things that they can easily do without. These young men should stop and think. It causes us to become very indignant whenever the injustices inflicted upon our people are noted, especially so whenever such injustices are uncalled for. It takes nothing off of the opposite race to treat us justly. They have everything in their power, and should not be afraid of us to such an extent as to endeavor to use means that are unjustifiable to cower us. If this is their intention they will surely fail. The separate, street car, law went into operation last week in Richmond, Va. The colored citizens in mass meeting voted unanimously to walk ratner than accepting the discriminative law. Their decision is applauded by every race person with a spark of pride or manhood. Whenever measures are adopted reflecting upon us, we should in a legal and respectful manner resent them. It is the earnest hope of every one that not a colored face will be seen on the cars in Richmond which would go a far way towards causing the abolishing of the discriminative law. THE Chamber. of Commerce of this city has under consideration the investigation of the exorbitant rate of interest that the several loan offices charge. The colored ministers of the city had this same matter under advisement, but for some reason deferred it indefinitely. This is an important question, as it greatly affects our people who are caused to give up much of their hard earnings to pay a large amount of interest on a small sum that is borrowed. The books for the making of returns are open and tax payers should not fail to make their returns. Our people must learn to patronize each other. AMONG THE CHURCHES. Notes From Our City Churches.

They will stop in Atlanta, Mammoth Cave, Ky., Chicago, St. Louis and other points. They will be gone about five weeks. Their friends hope for them a pleasant trip.

On account of the limited space and increased business of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company it was necessary to change location. The company removed on Wednesday to No.468 West Broad street, near Gaston where it has a finely fitted office, and prepared to attend with rapidity and more efficiency its growing business. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society is located in the same office. Both of these are among the staunchest institutions in our city. They are managed by some of the most prominent men in the city of business experience and ability. The organization of these companies have done more to stimulate confidence in, and a desire to establish enterprises among our people than any other agency. The companies are deserving of a larger patronage from all classes of our people, which if it is given unstinted, instead of giving employment to about a dozen of our young men and women, a larger number would receive a like benefit. Young Man's Death. Just at the eve of another day on Monday last, Mr. James W. Edwards' life ebbed away. He had been very sick for the past several months. All that medical skill and attention could do was given him. Mr. Edwards was among our exceptional young men; quiet in his demeanor and p'easant in his way. He was well thought of by all who knew him. He was a member of Beth-Eden Baptist Church, Armour Lodge of Odd-Fellows and the Letter Carrier's Association. He was also an efficient carrier in the Savannah post office. His funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon from Beth-Eden Baptist Church and was attended by a large concourse of friends. Rev. R. Kemp conducted the service. At the cemetery the impressive ceremony of the Odd-Fellows was performed. Mr. Edwards left a mother, a sister and brother, besides other relative and friends to mourn his death. Social Events. The Women's Club entertained their many friends at Morse hall on Wednesday night of last week with a delightful leap year soiree. The affair was a grand one and all present voted it was the grandest of the season. Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Maxwell of 804 West Broad street, entertained on Friday evening of last week in honor of Miss M. Richardson who left for Philadelphia. Various games were played and a very enjoyable evening was spent by all present, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Singleton. Mr. N. White, Mr. O. Haynes, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Mason, Miss M. Richardson, Miss M. Linsay. Mrs. Charlotte Anderson entertained the Delta Reading Circle at her residence in Dittmersville on Monday afternoon of last week Those present were: Mrs. L. G. Evans, Mrs. Willie Lee, Mrs. Lula Andrews, Mrs. Molsie Andrews, Mrs. Lula Middleton, Mrs. Hagar Rodney, Mrs. Caroline Philput, Mrs. Ada Baker and Mrs. Julia Woodruff. Quite an enjoyable time was had, after which the ladies were invited in the dining room where an abundance of nice things were served. The Circle voted to visit Mrs. Anderson again as soon as possible. The picnic of the Chatham Conservative Club on Tuesday night last was well attended. The crowd was a select one, and everybody had a pleasant time. This club was organized for the purpose of encouraging and assisting young men in paying their tax, and the purpose of the entertainment was to help in this direction. The purpose is a commendable one, and the club should have the hearty cooperation of all citizens in this direction. The rector, officers and members of St. Stephen's church extend thanks to their many friends for their cordial patronage during the recent "Bazaar of Days." Masonic Notes. The call has been issued for the thirty-fourth annual communication of the Grand Lodge to be held in Americus June 14. A copy of the call along with the return blanks will be sent to the Lodges by next week. The members of the craft can but commend Grand Master Butler for his untiring efforts in behalf of the Order. Through his indefatigable efforts the craft is increasing in every phase of its work and is succeeding in bringing to "light" a number of misguided men who have been induced to join the Compacters. A number of this contingent have been captured in Augusta recently and still the good work goes grandly on. Rates to Nashville.

Some Interesting Facts Immense Value of the Promised Panama Canal to Commerce THE value of the Panama Canal to the commerce of the world can be frequently understood by any boy or girl who will refer to a common map of the world. Both the United States and Europe will reap great benefits from it. By the present route, steamers sailing from New York to San Francisco by way of the Strait of Magellan must cover some 13,000 miles, including the usual stops required for coaling. When the canal across the Isthmus of Panama is opened the distance will be shortened to 5294 miles—a saving of nearly $000 miles. Steamers bound from European ports would find almost equal advantages. Those sailing from Hamburg to San Francisco would have their present route shortened by 5648 miles. Steamers sailing from New York to Australia and New Zealand now go by the way of Cape of Good Hope. By going through the new canal this route would be shortened between 3500 and 5175 miles, according to the port they were bound for. Our ships from the Atlantic seaboard must now pass through the Suez Canal to reach China and Japan in the most direct way. The total distance from New York, to Yokohama, Japan, is 13,040 miles, and through the Panama Canal it would be reduced to 10,088 miles. From New York to Shanghai, China, the saving in distance through the canal would amount to 1330 miles. To the Oriental countries the saving is thus not so great as along our own coast and to our Pacific Ocean possessions, owing to the fact that China and Japan are nearly opposite us on the globe. But to Hawaii there would be a distinct saving of 6581 miles. Saving in time and distance does not menu so much to sailing vessels, but it is very important to ocean steamers. With coal at $3 or $4 per ton wholesale, the saving in money from a trip through the Panama Canal would quickly mount up into thousands of dollars. It is estimated that from New York to San Francisco the actual saving in coal for the average freight steamer would be $2000. The saving in time would be even more important. A steamer on this line makes only about two round trips a year through the Strait of Magellan, but through the Panama Canal at least five round trips a year probably could be made—St. Nicholas. The Worst to Come By the Editor of Collier's Weekly ECULIARLY characteristic of American expression as "Cheer up, the worst be doubted whether in other countries stood as philosophy or appreciated the philosophy and the humor of it, apart from the other. We have seen the ground of common-sense, as it might have to endure at present is not as it might be; but such an argument could hardly take this form. In our early boy's painful operation, and being grimly informed, pain was nothing compared to what might spite of indignation at the heartlessness of theiliar species of native humor. American humor is fantastic, lawless, exaggerated, and often man. The clever new English critic, Chesterstett, for its lack of sympathy, preferring, on the deems the more characteristically American the thinks that Bret Hartle is more just and applaud the laughs, and more likely to laugh with that quality which Chesterton misses in America, and Rusklin missed it bitterly in all America, a jocose fatalism often, the recognition of a fliquity, or fear, but with an amused sense of the man. Man's powerlessness and futility have been taken as a tragedy. The inexorableness of the ground of tragic feeling, until we came all and pity" of the Greeks at seeing the inerval the conception of man as the football of city, older our humor will approach in quality moons, but at present it has fatalistic irony for a merry sarcasm, rather than with any scorn a fellow being to cheer up because the word Desire For an Ornamental ously, would hardly take this form. In our early boyhood, undergoing a somewhat painful operation, and being grimly informed by the surgeon that the present pain was nothing compared to what might shortly be expected, we were, in spite of indignation at the heartlessness of it, forced into laughter at the familiar species of native humor. American humor is not often very delicate. It is fantastic, laawless, exaggerated, and often seems to foreigners cruel and grim. The clever new English critic, Chesterton, has several times attacked it for its lack of sympathy, preferring, on this ground, Bret Harte to what he deems the more characteristically American humor of Mark Twain, because he thinks that Bret Harte is more just and appreciative of the persons at whom he laughs, and more likely to laugh with than at them. Reverence is another quality which Chesterton misses in American humor, as Matthew Arnold and Ruskin missed it bitterly in all American thought. It is related to fatalism, a jocose fatalism often, the recognition of relentless facts, not with awe, humility, or fear, but with an amused sense of the helplessness and littleness of man. Man's powerlessness and futility in the hands of fate has usually been taken as a tragedy. The inexorableness of fate has even been the essential ground of tragic feeling, until we came along, and, instead of the "terror and pity" of the Greeks at seeing the inevitable, met with reckless laughter the conception of man as the football of circumstance. Perhaps as we grow older our humor will approach in quality more to the temper of older civilizations, but at present it has fatalistic irony for a special attribute, and it is with a merry sarcasm, rather than with any serious encouragement, that we invite a fellow being to cheer up because the worst is yet to be. The Desire For an Ornamental Education By Herbert N. Casson ERBERT SPENCER, in his book on "Education," which you can buy cloth-bound for twenty-five cents, says that it should not be the purpose of education to make us ornamental, but useful. The education of some people, he says, is as comical as the clothing of those savages who go about in cold, weather with Others who have still more "accomplishments," as these little tricks are called, have stumbled through three or four Greek and Latin books. They have learned logic, without becoming good reasoners; psychology, without learning how to do their own thinking; and literature, without being cured of the habit of using slang. In all countries most people have sought for an education, not because they wanted to be more useful and have more knowledge, but because they wanted to make a good impression upon other people. They wanted to look as if they were diamonds, when they were nothing but common glass. Until our grand public school system began education was not supposed to be necessary to the laboring classes—the useful people of the world. It was only the idle few—the ornamental people—who were educated. For this reason it is hard to get rid of the old idea, that an education is only meant to give polish. We still have in the United States a large number of people who believe that a nation should be barred off into two classes—a majority of people who are useful and a minority of people who are ornamental. A real education, says Herbert Spencer, should teach us how to live in the widest sense. The best educated person is the one who lives the most complete life. The main thing is not to learn a few tricks, as if we were poodles, but to make the most of our powers—to grow, to develop, to ripen. Here are the six most important questions, says Spencer, which education should answer: How to treat the body; how to treat the mind; how to earn an honest living; how to bring up a family, how to behave as a citizen; how to be happy and to make others happy. The professor who gets off a street car backwards needs a better education just as much as the motorman who has never read the plays of Shakespeare. The society lady who does not know how to breathe-needs to be taught as much as the athlete who eats pie with his knife. A learned man such as the late Professor Mommsen, who was so absent-minded that he put his baby into the waste basket, had a flaw in his education just as much as the great ruler Charlemagne had, who never could learn to spell the simplest words. It is more important to know how to swim than to know who Xerxes was, or how the Wars of the Roses began. Self-control and presence of mind are not taught in any of our colleges; yet the man who lacks these two qualities is handicapped all through life. A complete education should be like a dinner. It should not be all ple and cake and ice cream and wine. First of all must come the soup and the meat and the vegetables and the bread. To say that a certain class of people shall learn the necessary things, white another class of people learns the refined and ornamental things, is a social superstition that has been imported from European courts. Every boy should learn how to be useful to the community, no matter who his father is. By the time the present generation of school children grows up the man who has not learned to earn his own living will probably be ranked with the defective classes and treated accordingly—New York American.

It may be doubted whether in other countries it would be either understood as philosophy or appreciated as humor. Indeed, of the philosophy and the humor of it, neither would easily exist apart from the other. We have seen the phrase defended on the ground of common-sense, as indicating that what we might have to endure at present is not by any means so bad as it might be; but such an argument, if meant entirely seri- ERBERT SPENCER, in his book on "Education," which you can buy cloth-bound for twenty-five cents, says that it should not be the purpose of education to make us ornamental, but useful. The education of some people, he says, is as comical as the clothing of those savages who go about in cold, weather with nothing on but a string of beads and a bracelet. They know how to say a few sentences in a language which they think is French. They paint a few pictures which no picture dealer would buy at any price. They dance a little, by a little and learn a little poetry. UFORNIA LIONS, KILL DEER. Method of Hunting Much Like That of Big Cats in Africa or India. More deer are killed every year in California by mountain lions than by the bullets of the hunters. Next to the jaguar, our mountain lion is the largest cat in the two Americas, and he is the chimpion deer slayer of the world. Within thirty or forty miles of Los Angeles he catches the fleet-footed, graceful creatures, and waxes fat on the sweet flesh. He knows no deer season other than all the time. Whenever there is good_deer country in this or any other southwestern state there also is the best place to look for lions, and that is one of the reasons why the large herds of deer are restless, seldom staying long in one locality. There is nothing they fear more than the sight or smell of a mountain lion. Not even the sudden appearance of a hunter will so quickly drive them from a range of hills. The lion's method of hunting the deer is not unlike that of the big cats of Africa and India in the pursuit of the antelope and deer of those countries. Having found a spring or pool where the desired game comes to water at nightfall, the lion selects an everhanging limb or ledge of rock, whence one leap will carry him to the back or throat of his prey, and thereon lays himself out in perfect accord with the limb itself. In the gathering dusk the imperfect eye of the deer has little chance against this hidden terror, and the wind, usually his faithful ally, can help him none now, for the lion is far and away too old a campaigner not to lie up from the spring. The deer comes; one leap from the limb or ledge, and the sharp teeth and powerful paws soon break the tender neck; and don't you believe it when any one tells you that a California lion can't carry away a deer. The writer has followed the plain, broad trail of the heavy pads for over half a mile, and then come suddenly on the place where the killer had stopped to rest. There in plain outline was the imprint of the deer's body; but for that whole distance the lion had carried it well up and clear of the ground. Such "portages" are not infrequent in the career of a hunting lion as these animals never eat their game where they kill it. Sometimes they hunt in pairs, but in six or eight years spent in the hills the writer has seen but one such hunting pair. Like the rest of the cats the world over, the mountain lion's mainstay in hunting is patience. He will wait for hours on a narrow limb rather than get out like coyote and scour the slopes for his supper; with feet as noiseless as an owl's wing, he will follow an unspecting rabbit or belated spike buck until a favorable opportunity for help presents, and then it is generally "all day" for the hunted. But of all things the lion loves deer meat, and while he will dare a great many dangers for young pig, his liking for deer is even greater than that—Los Angeles Times. Increase Traveling Men's Expenses. The change in the method of operating hotels from the American to the European plan has increased the expenses of traveling men $22\%$ per cent. "I have made the test and I know that such is the case," remarked a man who is at the head of a large number of traveling men. "The increase is startling. Any one will notice it, if he stops to think. Traveling men pay as much for their rooms alone as they formerly paid for their rooms and meals, in many instances, and the charge is invariably higher—just $22\%$ per cent. according to actual test.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
