Cotton Association Plans to Raise Campaign Fund.
Important Work in Interest of Growers of the South Mapped Out at Convention Sessions In Asheville.
The first annual convention of the Southern Cotton convention closed at Asheville, N. C., Friday night, with a banquet tendered to the executive committee by Kenilworth Inn. It is proposed to raise $100,000 for the national association and $100,000 each for the state and county associations by the 3 cent tax on each bale of cotton, and such tax will be levied.
The afternoon and night sessions Friday were confined chiefly to the passing of various resolutions, chief of which was one looking to a raise in membership dues from 25 cents to $1 a year.
Colonel J. McMartin's resolution recommended that greater publicity be given to article 1, section 1, of the constitution, which calls attention to the fact that the Southern Cotton convention is an organization composed not only of growers, but of manufacturers and farmers, which was adopted. Mr. McMartin further states that the chief object of the organization is "the industrial development and supremacy of the cotton states," and to this end the government should be argued to build better southern harbors.
An important feature of the closing session was the adoption of a motion made by E. D. Smith of South Carolina to the effect that all members of the association be urged to market their cotton, even at the minimum price, as slowly as possible, so as to distribute the sale of the staple over the entire year instead of marketing the crop in ninety days as has been the custom. In this way the highest prices possible above the minimum could be secured.
After some discussion at the night session as to the next meeting place of the association's executive committee, Hot Springs, Ark, was chosen. This was effected by a compromise made between the advocates of Ashville and Hot Springs, by the terms of which the winter meeting convenes at the latter place, while Ashville gets the summer meeting.
The matter of Vice President Peters' resignation was again touched upon, and although the discussion was concluded in secret session, it is understood that Mr. Peters will "voluntarily resign" in a few days, and his successor will be named by President Jordan, in whose hands the question was left for adjustment. It was reported that the association will probably deliver an address to the American people. It will deal principally with existing conditions in the textile world. The passing of resolutions of thanks to the people of Asheville, the local and national press and the local authorities of Kenlworth closed the convention.
QUIET RESTORED IN TOKIO.
Regret Expressed by Better Class at
Burning of Christine, Church
Burning of Christian Churches.
A Tokio special says: At noon Friday the city was quiet. Complete reports from metropolitan and outlying districts indicate that there was no disorder throughout Thursday night or early Friday morning.
The government has suspended a total of five newspapers, and it is expected that the publications of others will be prevented.
Government officials and the better class of Japanese citizens are expressing keen regret over the attacks on Christian churches. They explain that the affair was the result of local conditions, and does not indicate a serious anti-foreign or anti-Christian feeling.
PUBLIC PRINTER FIRED.
Palmer Refused to Realign and President Ousted Him Instanter.
President Roosevelt Friday afternoon took summary action in the case of Frank W. Palmer, public printer and head of the government printing office at Washington, by removing him from office.
Last Monday the president directed Mr. Palmer to send to him his resignation to take effect on the 15th instant, but the order was ignored.
Russ and Jap Armies in Manchuria Notified That War is Ended and Give Vent to Great Joy.
A special from Godzaranl, Manchuria, says: At 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon a Japanese commissioner bearing a white flag and escorted by fifty soldiers arrived at a post near the railway and handed to the Russian officers, who went to meet him, a letter from Field Marshal Oyama, to General Linevitch, congratulating him on the conclusion of peace, and begging him to appoint Russian plenipotentiaries to arrange an armistice. Field Marshal Oyama appointed General Tukushima as plenipotentiary, for his side, the letter announced, and he suggested Chakhedra as the meeting place.
Since news was received that peace negotiations at Portsmouth were approaching a conclusion, the correspondent of the Associated Press has made a survey of all the Russian positions from Mongolia headquarters, the object in part being to ascertain the extent to which the efforts making for peace were viewed by the army. The negotiations received no official recognition in the field prior to their successful conclusion, the army keeping in a state of preparedness for a battle until the receipt by General Linevitch of a telegram from Emperor Nicholas, declaring that the treaty had been signed, and that his majesty accepted the condition arrived at.
This telegram was officially published in the army newspaper at Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, on September 6, and the outlines of the peace conditions were printed in the same publication Saturday.
The officers thereafter observed military decorum in the striotest sense, but the goldiers, with the consent of the officers, engaged in feasting and other forms of celebration. It will be a week more before the entire army is fully informed of the conclusion of peace, but the news was discounted long ago by the prevailing conviction that since the appointment of the prentpotentiaries peace was a foregone conclusion. It may be said that to the great majority of the officers and men so far informed the news that the war is at an end is most welcome.
Thousands are daily drinking to the health of President Roosevelt. The correspondent, who is the only remaining foreign newspaper man with the Russian army, was everywhere asked by the men if he was an American, and on being answered in the affirmative, they captured him and tossed him many times in the air after the manner of the Cossacks, while their officers gently protested against this seeming questionable manner of their admiration.
WIVES WERE STOCKHOLDERS.
Assistants of Public Printer Interested in Monotype Machine Co-
at in Monotype Machine Co.
At Oyster Bay Sunday, President Roosevelt made public the report of the Keep commission on its recent investigation of affairs in the government priting office at Washington.
The inquiry was made by special direction of the president, on account of a protest which he had received from officials of the Mergenthaler Typesetting Machine company against the award of a contract by Public Printer Frank W. Palmer to the Lanson Monotype company for seventy-two machines of its make.
The president decided, after an examination of the Keep report, that the contract for the Lanson machines should stand. The Keep commission reported that if the contract could be set aside, "such a course would be desirable," although the commission states expressly that "no corrupt consideration, payment or promise passed from the Lanson Monotype company to the public printer or to any person in the government service."
It was developed by the commission, however, that two important assistants of the public printer were indirectly interested in the Lanson company, "their wives being stockholders therein."
Minneapolis Chosen as Next Place of Encampment.
Corporal James Tanner of New York was elected commander in chief of the G. A. R. by the national encampment in session at Denver Friday.
The leading candidates were Corporal Tanner, General Robert B. Brown of Ohio, Judge C. G. Burton of Missouri, and General C. M. Burrowa of New Jersey.
Minneapolis was chosen as the G. A. R. national encampment 'city in 1906.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1905
BAD IN PENSACOLA
NINE CASES FOR MONDAY
Most Encouraging Report Comes from New Orleans-United States Government Takes Hands in the Quarantine Regulations.
Nine new cases and one death is the yellow fever record for Pennsylvania, Fla., Monday, concluding at six o'clock, when the various physicians working in conjunction with the state board of health made their reports. Suspicious or doubtful cases number about twelve.
The one death was that of A. Wolfburg, vice consul of Norway, who died after a brief illness. He was taken all five days since and did not call in a physician, the case being located by inspectors. A postmortem examination revealed the fact that he had died of yellow fever of the most malignant type. Citizens have been called upon to assist the physicians and appoint a relief committee.
Uncle Sam Takes a Hand.
The United States marine hospital service has taken a hand in the quarantine situation and according to a letter received in Atlanta Monday by the Georgia state board of health, his issued sweeping instructions preventing passengers from points infected with yellow fever, from stopping anywhere in the territory east and south of a line drawn from Washington, D. C., through Charlotteville, Danville, Charlotte, Spartanburg, Atlanta, Aniston, the Tennessee river, Vincennes, Ind., St. Louis and thence to the Arkansas state line.
The Georgia state board of health is requested to have its inspectors notify all passengers from yellow fever points of this quarantine regulation. Notice is also given that government inspectors have been appointed to enforce this rule, and that penalties may be incurred for its violation. The territory indicated as south of the line in question is all regarded as "infectible" territory, and for that reason the marine hospital service proposes to prohibit persons who have been exposed to yellow fever from entering this section until the point where such infection exists is free of the disease.
Good Report for New Orleans. The report of no deaths in New Orleans Monday, the first time since the announcement of the presence of the fover on July 21, when contrasted with the record of 1878, presents quite a coincidence, because September 11, 1878, was the record day for deaths during that epidemic, 90 being recorded. Algters reports seven of the new cases. Of the new foci, only two are above Canal-street. Four are in Algters.
Dr. White has given out the component parts of the new sulcicide, which will be used hereafter in fumigation, the discovery of which was announced Saturday. It is composed of equal parts of crystal carbolic acid, and gum camphor, and three ounces will be sufficient to thoroughly fumigate 1,000 cubic feet of space. He advises against its use by citizens generally on account of danger in handling it, and is having his forces thoroughly educated in its use before they will be entrusted with it.
The most interesting feature of the country news was the report from the health officer of St. John parish, of the existence of about twenty-five cases at Lions, a lumber town in that parish, and his statement that the patients were not being properly cared for, and that they had been concealing the fitness. He has taken charge of flings there, and reported three new cases.
Russian Soldiers Fire Into Crowd of
Workmen, Killing Seventeen.
The latest private telegram to be
received in St. Petersburg from Baku
reports that the situation there is
growing worse.
Other unconfirmed dispatches
assert that the rioters are subbornly
continuing their attacks, and that the
Tartars and Kurds are plundering in
the "Blacktown" district. The
dispatches say that on Sunday the
soldiers fired into a crowd of Russian
workmen, killing seventeen.

JUDGE SIMMONS DEAD.
Chief Justice of Supreme Court Passes Away After Lingering Illness—Notable Career Ended.
Chief Justice Simmons of the supreme court of Georgia passed away at his home in Atlanta Tuesday morning, after a long, lingering illness, which had played upon his vitality until it could no longer withstand the ravages.
While the death of Justice Simmons had been rather expected for some days, the announcement of it Tuesday morning did not come, without a distinct shock to the community, and the people all over the state.
In the death of Chief Justice Simmons Georgia loses one of her best, ablest and foremost citizens, one whose life work has been for his native state. The history of his life in the civil war, in constitutional conventions, in legislative halls, at the bar and on the bench embodies in a great measure the history of Georgia.
Following his able service to the confederacy as a soldier, he gave his untiring energies as a legislator toward rebuilding the state during the trying days of reconstruction and he served Georgia well both in the constitutional convention of 1868 and that of 1877. Then began his career of nearly thirty years on the bench, first in the superior court and afterward the supreme bench, from the latter place stepping upward to the chief justiceship upon the resignation of Chief Justice Bleckley.
The illness of Chief Juítico Simmons which finally culminated in his death dates back to January 1, 1805. He was then suffering severely with rheumatism of the back, despite all of which he remained at his post and continued to preside daily on the bench. He remained with the court steadily until the last day of May, attending daily to his duties, preparing and dictating important questions.
Judge Simmons was born in Crawford county, Georgia, in 1837. He was reared upon a farm. After a few years of schooling Judge Simmons decided to adopt the legal profession as his life work; he read law and opened an office at Knoxville, which was then the county seat of Crawford county. He was soon recognized as the leading attorney of his county and had built up a paying practice when the war came.
Judge Simmons immediately joined the Crawford Grays, the first company to leave his native county. 'The Grays formed part of the command of Colonel A. H. Colquitt. Judge Simmons had enlisted as a private, but it was not long until he was promoted' to rank of lieutenant, and later lieutenant colonel. Subsequently he became colonel, and fought in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac, being present in more than a hundred battles and skirmishes,wherein his gallantry was conspicuous.
He was wounded a number of times in action, and just before the close of the war he was recommended by Generals Lee, Wilcox and Hill for promotion to the rank of brigadier general. But the fall of Richmond and the end of the war prevented the receipt of the commission.
At the end of the war. Judge Simmons, with a bravery no less admirable than that displayed on the field of battle, took up his part in the herculean work of bringing order out of chaos.
. BIG CONTRACTS ARE LET.
Southern Railway Plans Some Important Improvements.
The Southern railway has awarded to the firm of Sands & Oliver, railroad contractors of Roanoke, Va., a million dollar contract, which, with others let during the past six month, make a total of $2,000,000, which it is proposed to spend on important and far-reaching improvements, on the Southern lines. The contract awarded to the Roanoke firm calls for the double tracking of the Southern road from Morristown to Knoxville, Tenn., as well as the building of a line from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Stevenson, Ala.
Charged with Gross Feuds.
The special term of federal court, held at Greensboro, N. C., to investigate charges of fraud on the part of revenue officers and distillers Saturday, returned twenty-eight indictments.
The charges include bribery, forgery, perjury, false reports of captured stills and false expense, vouchers.
Several of the collectors indicted are prominent in republican political circles.
JAP FLAGSHIP SUNK
FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE
Officers and Men to Number of 599 Meet Their Doom Thirty American Gunners Thought to Be Among Victims The Japanese navy department at Tokio announces that the battle ship Mikasa has been destroyed by fire and the explosion of its magazine, causing the loss of 599 lives, including men of other ships who went to the rescue.
The Mikasa was anchored in the harbor of Sasebo and the fire started from an unknown cause at midnight on Sunday night, September 10. Before the officers could be rescued the fire reached the aft magazine, which exploded, blowing a hole in the port side of the vessel below the water line, and causing the ship to sink.
The Mikasa was the flagship of the Japanese navy, flying the flag of Vice Admiral Togo, the commander-in-chief. She was present at all the principal engagements during the war, and was on several occasions severely damaged in action.
In the battle of the sea of Japan she led the fleet into action and her name was mentioned in connection with some of the most stirring events of the famous sea fight.
In this battle the Mikasa was the heaviest loser of all the Japanese ships, having sixty-three killed and wounded. She approached nearer to the Russians than any other battle ship.
The Mikasa also was the flagship of Admiral Togo after the naval battle off Port Arthur, August 10, 1904, on which occasion the Japanese flagship also suffered the most of any vessel on the fighting line.
On that occasion the Mikasa had four officers and twenty-inne men killed, six officers and twenty-nine severely wounded and four officers and twenty-nine men slightly wounded.
American Gunners Aboard?
From information received in New Orleans it is believed that a number of American gunners went down in the Mikasa, and at the same time threw light upon the cause for the remarkable marksmanship which devastated the Russian Baltic fleet in the battle of the Sea of Japan.
Joseph Morgan of New Orleans, brother of Charles Morgan, formerly gunner on Admiral Sampson's flagship, New York, states that the American gunner joined the Japanese navy and was a member of the crew of the Mikasa. Gunner Charles Morgan is said to be one of the thirty-five American man-o'-warsmen who decerted a: Manlia and joined the Japanese navy.
It was he who fired the first show at San Juan, Porto Rico, and subsequently obtained notoriety through Admiral Sampson's opposition to his receiving the rank of commissioned officer in the United States navy. Morgan's skill as a gunner was celebrated in the navy, and his brother states that Captain Merrill, formerly stationed at the United States navy yard at New Orleans, told him his brother deserted at Manila, and, with thirty-five comrades, joined the Japanese forces, receiving a salary of $500 a month, with a promise of a bonus at the end of the war.
Hercetofore it has been claimed that the Japanese have employed no foreign fighters, and the fact that Joseph Morgan has heard nothing from his brother for over a year, after a former regular correspondence, bears out the belief that American gunners were secured under bond of secrecy.
LITHIA SPRINGS SOLD.
Property of Marsh Estate Purchased by an Atlanta Company.
J. H. Nunnally of Atlanta, receiver of the Marsh estate, has sold the Bowden Lithia Springs, and the hotel at Lithia Springs, Ga., together with all the property in connection with the hotel and the springs, to the Robinson-Humphrey company of Atlanta. The price paid is understood to be $200,000, and the deal will be closed as soon as the purchasers have confirmed the title to the property.
Crowded Car on Elevated Road in New York Jumps Track and is Demolished on Pavement.
Twelve persons were killed and more than forty injured when the second car of a Ninth avenue elevated train jumped the track and fell from the structure to the street at the junction of Sixth and Ninth avenue in New York city early Monday morning.
The car, the seats, aisles and platforms of which were packed with people, was turned bottom side up, its roof torn off and it was stood on end in the street.
The heavy truck of another car fell upon it, crushing some of the passengers. The cause of the accident and the immediate responsibility remain to be settled. The motorman of the wrecked train is a fugitive, while a switchman, conductor and four guards are under arrest. The switchman is charged with manslaughter and the trainmen are held as witnesses. Corner Scholer, who has undertaken the work of fixing the blame for the wreck, announces that the switchman's bond has been placed at $5,000, and those of the witnesses at $100 each.
Whatever may have caused the mistake, the accident, the worst in the history of the overhead railroads in New York, came when a southbound train on the Ninth avenue line was switched off to the Sixth avenue line at the Fifty-third street junction, the motorman expecting a clear track on the direct line of Ninth avenue, or deregarding the warning signal that the switch was open, rushed his train along at a high rate of speed.
The first car swung around the right angle curve, holding to the rails because of the weight of the train behind. Then the strain became too great. The couplings broke, the second car was whirled about almost end for end, and to the horror of those who looked on from below pitched into the street.
The first indication people on the sidewalk had of the accident was a loud rumbling along the overhead structure. Looking up they saw a shower of sparks, then followed splinters and the sound of splitting timbers.
Suddenly the outer guard rail or the railroad structure gave way, a score of bodies were hurled through space, and with a deafening crash the car fell to the street. For an instant it stood on end; then the sides gave way as if they were made of pasteboard, belching out a mass of humanity.
Those passengers who had not jumped from platforms and windows before the plunge came, were thrown into a mass at the forward end of the car. As the injured men and women were struggling to free themselves, the heavy front trucks of the third car on the train fell almost in their midst as the car itself jumped partly off the elevated structure, and was wedged against a building at the southeast corner of Ninth avenue and Fifty-third street.
Huge crowds were soon on the scene, and the first work of the hastily summoned police reserves was directed to clearing a way for the effective rescue of the passengers pinned down by the wreckage. Almost every ambulance in Manhattan was summoned, and the injured and dead were hurried away with all speed.
Three alarms of fire brought many engines to the scene. A slight fire, caused by burning insulation, was quickly extinguished, and the firemen set to work chopping out the dead and injured.
The task was not an easy one, for the heavy car, in falling, had almost completely buried pedestrians in its wreckage. At least one was killed outright in this way, while Policeman Henry Altkens, who was standing directly under the elevated structure, is among those most seriously injured.
Alleged Embezzler Arraigned in Court at Sandersville.
The trial of Maro S. Potter, the alleged defaulting Davisboro bank cashier, was taken up in Washington superior court at Sandersville, Ga. Tuesday morning.
Potter claims that he has committed no criminal act. He is alleged to have taken about $22,000 of the bank's funds. He went to Mexico and California, and was captured in Los Angeles, where he had secured a position in a bank.

meeting Sunday afternoon, In spite of the
threatning weather over two hundred at-
tenied. The program consisted of hymns,
a duet by Prof: Gadsen and Dr. Williams,
a violin solo by Miss Harvey, and an ad-
dress by tion. W. B, Stubbs. “The speaker
said in part; Savannah is a beautiful city
which, we all ought to loss but_ we
should not be blind to the evils which here
abide, Leompliment the ciub on its pur-
poses and am always ready to render any
assistance which will help to uplift, The
Negro compose half or more of the, resi-
dents of Savannah and everyonemust
recognize the fact that the Negro will play
an important part in the future of the city,
weather for good or for evil And as
there is in unity there ts strength. by your
organizing you are able to be of help.
Reform implies that there is something
which isto be,made over and so in Savan-
-nah there are some things that are to be
made over and to be made right. As the
state is no better than its individual cities
and the club no better than its individual
members so the city of Sayannah is no het-
ter than its individual citizens. What is
the life of meni? The majority of the men
thinks of religion as a gond thing for wo-
men and children. But it is a fact that
the great men of of the world have been
christians. Men may disregard the laws
which are made for their welfare, laws of
nature, laws of stateand laws of God. Men
give themselves once to frolic and sport on
the Sabbath but I belleve they will answer
for their actions. What is the life of the
family? The numbers of divorces means
there is something wrong. As the stream
of water can be no purer than its source
neither can our citizen be better than the
families from which they come. I consider
the Negro race favored of races except pos-
sibly the Jews from which race Jesus came.
The opportunities of the Negro havé never
been equaled. No people under the sun
would hare done as much for a people
under similar circumstances as the South-
ern whites have done for the Negro The
Negro race was favored because it shared
the-civilization of a people who had hun-
dreds of years of civilization ahead of them
and was not like the Jew thrown out by
the Egyptions to build its own civilization.
I believe the mission of the Negro race is
to get all it can from the civitzation of
America and carry it back to Africa. Lam
ashamed to admit that the white people are
responsible for the bad example they set
for the Negro. But you must be individ-
uals and rise above the low scale of society.
‘My cheeks blush when recently a prom-
inent minister exposed the fraud in our
politics and what was worse the newspap-
ers made apologies for it. I stand ready at
any time to agree with ten men or more to
prosecute any ‘man white or black who
buys or sells a vote.
The low state of morals of the bar-rooms,
dance halls and gambling dens indicate that

What is the reason for the existance of

There is no need for bar rooms. One is
considered odd to live and act right Com-
plaining does not help — Put something
good inthe pluce of the bad. If a man
curse you, Bless him. Ifa man injure you
Pray for him. Render good for evils.
The Dance Hall is the result of social
instinct. People are.going to associate, if
not ona high plane they will on alow
plane. Supply something uplifting in-
stead of degrading. A colored man told
me that there is not a decent place where
a colored man may takehis family and
spend an afternoon or evening enjoyment.
Change these things. These are matters
for reforms.

Wueeat of meteorology we ate reducing
eSe matters to a sclence as quickly
'S can be done, and though we have ex-
pended mittions the husbandmen and
eamen get benefits which justify the
Ixpense. The parabolic paths of the
nurticane, the tracks of the north

fis to the great saving of crops; and
Ships now know what weather they
MM have for several days of thelr

ras not until within the Iast few years
Studfed In any of onr colleges. Now,
fi. believe, thirteen have taken it up.
pMoréign nations are sending here for
meteorologists. The English govern-
fment recently asked me for one to
jtake charge of its work in British
‘India. .
“We sell annually $250,000,000 worth
of animals abroad, besides supplying
our own markets. We must see to It
that all these antmals have a clean
DIM at heaith, and last year our dé
partment {nspected 38,408,000 car-
casses that were leaving the country.
Pheu there 1s the further problem of
Keplng our live animals, of which
'$35;000,000 worth are sold abroad each
Fear, clean and healthy. As a nation,
however, we bavé never made a study
of animals. We have developed a
,track horse dnd lard pig, but little
‘more. Our bureatt of animal industry
is naw studying feeding problems at
our experiment stations and. doing its
best to keep away every disease.
| CATTLE DISEASE AND FOOD.
“We have imported animals éxam-
ined by experts on the other side and
out-of abundant caution hold them in
Quarantine on this side, but even these
Precatitions have not been enough to
keep the boot and mouth disease from
lassachusetts. It took Cegland, be-
‘\ause they there temporized with it
hid Jt, more than fifty rears to
tamp this plague out, but when they
pally adopted the drastic measures
‘hich we are using here they rid
emselves of it If the people of
{sachusetts now, through — their
“fs, ‘will find where? the disease

= soon as possible. ‘The department
has paid $125,000 in an effort to ex:
terminate it alreads, but while dis-
eased herds keep cropping out here
and there we must keep up the quar-
antine.
“Another matter connected with ani-
mals to which ve are giving attention |
is that of dairy products. This country
fs engaged in c larse business of
shipping gzain abroad. Denmark, for
instance, takes most of her grain from
the United States, and sends $33.000.-
000" worth of dairy produets annually
to the British markets in competition
with us. Here fs a chance for the
United States, for it doesn't cost as
much to ship gthia to New England
as it does to Denmark, and our dalries
ought to.be able to enter the market
successfully. Still another thing in
tegard to our rain exports. Corn Is
the second crop of importance !u the
United States; and we send it exten-
sively abroad when there is 2 surplus.
It s used in making starch. ete:, but
not on the tables of the common pople,
It has not the elements'of 2 good cereal
for working men; it will fatten, but
not produce muscle. We are endeavor-
ing by cross-fertilizing to make a corn
that will furnish a more balanced ra-
tion and compete with other"cereals as
a foodstuff.

‘But they found that a too large propor
tion of the rice broke in the machine;
it was too soft. A round, filnty rice
Was desirable, so we sent expérts to
the Orlent, where they have been
growing all kinds of rice for centuries
and brought back just what was
needed. One American with his ma-
chinery can now grow In a year what
400 Chinamem could grow.
“There 1s about our department this:
We open our doors, booke and records
to everybody from all orer the world.
European countries come for our men,
but oftentimes they explicitly forbid
our getting anything in return,
PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
“In addition to everythiag else, we
have to train men in plant pathology—
a study which is not even attempted
at agricultural colleges. We do this
for the sake of abstract science, be-
cause the farmers need help. ‘Our
pathological department studled the
important subject of grass and forage
crops, and as a result we are now able
to send about the country in dry form
a spocial kind of alfalfa from ‘Turke-
stan which {s not killed in northen cll-
mates, and that is just what you want
to grow here.
“I have given you a few samples of
our works among plants and animals;
let me now tell you of some of the diffi-
culties we have to encounter. The col-
leges, with thelr growing tendency to-
ward extreme specialization, are pro-
ducing men well trained along ines,
but unable to co-ordinate their knowl-
edge along other Ines. In agricultural
work we can make little use of such
specialized men. An ordinary chemt-
cal analysis will not tell what is going
on in a plant, no matter how well
equipped the chemist. In order to find
out what we want to know the chem-
ist must add to his knowledge plant
physiology and physics and realize
that he is working with a living or-
ganism whtch is quite a different thing
when killed. He can’t get the know!-
edge we need by specializing in all|
these lines; he must specialize and,
then take another course in applying
his knowledge. Such a broad course,
I- admit, could not be crowded into
four years, and perhaps not into six;
it might take eight. But if the unf-
versities will not attempt the work,
we will,
“Our forests are disappearing al]
over the country and we are now
training several young men in forestry
and co-operating with private owners
in reforesting and preserving their
trees. One hundred thousand trees
will be sent out this year to different
States. Our universities have begun
to realize the importance of this and
Columbia and Yale have established
schools. But the study of soil is still
almost unknown and we are testing
and experimenting all the time as to
their possibilities and adaptabllities,
With 100 students at wors.
“This has had some practical results
already. We have been paying mil.
fons to Sumatra for wrapping tobacco,
but we found the right kind of soll
jn Connecticut and Massachusetts and
$1,000,000 worth was raised there last
year. We have now found soll in the’
United States which will grow flne
tromatic filler tobacco and that will
soon be opened up. One of our objects,
n fact, is to Sind everything which can

znnualls $400,000,000 worth of prod-
iets abroad, half of which might bo

ur tropical possessions. The true
policy «would be to zrow everything we
an here and let our possessloas grow
vhat we cannot, throwlng our markets
pen to their products, =
SUGAR, TEA, SILK.
“In this way we would help them
nore than in any other way. Our de-
sartment is now sending agents to
hem to teach them how. We could
srow all the gugat in the United States
which we needed and probably all the
ow-priced tea. We are looking into

eemvorehows venvied, but could not
copy, ahd distributing her favors with
a chgrming grace of imanner, the In-
heritance-of a long, line of refined an-
cestors.
Her face, though not her only, for-
tune, was a good half of it, with its
soft pink-and-white ,complexjou, its
slorious azure blue eyes. its frame of
sUky, golden hair, The only thing that
marred the otherwise perfect face was
the look of conscious superiority, al-
most of concelt, that Molly habitually
wore. She was the ouly ebild of her
parents, 2 pretty, spolled darling,
petted and qvofshiped from her/cradle,
She was Miss Devereux, of Laburnam
Terraee, and Molly's blue eyes shone,
and her eriméon lips pursed theniselves
into Hines of proud content as she
thought of her position, her beauty,
and all that went to make up the sunt
of her existence. The past had been
bountiful—the present was cloudless—
the future Jay before her, au unopened
book; what might it not hold for her—?
And yet: -
“Alas! that spring should vanish with the
rose!
That youth's, eugetecented maniscript
should etose!” >
It was upon her nineteenth birthday
that the shadow began to fall. Molly,
who, all the summer, bad been work-
ing bard with the pleasing result of
coming out abead of 200 girls at school,
many of hom were older than her-
self, suddenly showed signs of droop-
ing. The lovely blue eyes lost their
Justrous“look, the pristine glint of her
golden bair faded, lines appeared round
her pretty mouths
Molly’s mother looked frightened.
“Darling.” she said, caressingly,
“sou are tired—you are feeling the hot
‘wengher—”
“I think I am, mother, dear,” re
sponded Molly, in a voice she strove
hard to brigliten. “I shall be all righ
when the cooler days come—" 4
‘The next moment she was lying In a
huddled heap on, the floor!
‘That was the beginning of many slm-
ilar attacks. Molly's heart had given
out under the, heat and strain, and she
lay, week sfter week, helpless and
panting, In her Ittle white bed, her
head in a whirl, her lips babbling over
childish things long since consigned to
the past.
But there came a day when the wan-
derjngs ceased—a day when there sas
silence in the sick room, when, after
rambling for weeks the volce was nd
more heard, and Molly lay still and
quiet, a shadow of her former self,
‘with two big, lack lustre eyes staring
up at the white ceiling:
“Molly?” cried Mrs. Devereus. -It
was early ‘morning, and she had
Sippet into the pretty room, as was
her’ wont every day on rising.
‘The git] turned her bead in the di-
rection of the voice. |
“Mother!” she sald, wonderivgly,
“why have you come in the middle of
the night? Iam all rigit, darllng—"
“It is morning, Molly!” answered
‘Mrs, Devereux, stooping to kiss the
pale cheek on the pillow. “Darling,
the sun is shining—"
“Morning? The sun shining?” echoed
‘olly, springing up in bed, a dawning
horror on he. face. “Mother—mother,
where are you? It fs quite, quite dark!
I can’t see you——. Light the gas, Jet
me look—mother—strikea match quick-
Is; I can see nothing but dense biack-
ness—"
“Mrs. Devereux fell upon her knees
by the bedside. With trembling hands
she lighted a candle, held it to Molly’s
lovely blue eyes—they never flinched.
Ob, heavens! was it true? Was Molly
in utter darkness—blind? 2
Her cries brought the nurse and her
husband—and they sent for the doctor.
Alas! naught was of any avail. The
elty specialist, telegraphed for, came
and went, giving no ray of hope. It
was a phase of the illness—the sight
sometimes went in a single night—
sometimes—but not, often—no, thank
God—not often—, :
“I can do nothing.” he said, pocket-
ing his fee and wringing Mr. Dever-
eux’s hand as he stepped into the walt-
ing carriage. “It is no use sending for
me again, although, of course, I will
come at any time if you want me.
‘Miss Devereux’s sight is gone. There
is no hope—she will nevér see again.”
‘Then he was driven away to catch
the express back to town, and Molly
was left to battle with her trouble,
and to realize“all that his verdict
meant, both now and hereafter.
But never a word of protestation—of
rebellion against her cruel fate—crossed.
‘Molly's pale lps. Day after day, week
after week, she lay or her bed of dark-
‘ness, With a smile for everyone; with

heart grew stronger, the ‘color came
‘again into her pretty cheeks, and at
the end of two years she: «vas once
more able to take her old place in the
house; Deprived of one sense, the oth-
ers that were left her grew keener.
‘What she bad once seen with her
azure eyes, she saw with hér slim,
white fingers now; the lips that-had
"curved with: scornful pride, wore n pa-
tlent, tender look, as’ the blind- girl
grew in a beauty which was far love-
Her than that she had possessed in the
old days. ‘And the godd that-crept into
her character, and transformed it,
shone in her face; strong, self-reliant,
capable, utterly unselfish in her
thoughts gfor others, When she
reached het twentieth year, a more lov-
able, sweet-natured girl it would have
beefi hard to find.
“Of course, no one will ever want to
marry a blind girl!” she remarked, al-
most merrily, to her mother apropos
of something that Mrs, Devereux had
sald on the subject. “Don't beat about
‘the bush, mothery dear, in that half-
‘frightened way, as. though you were
afraid of hurting my feelings, I am
no coward—I am not afraid of facing
whatever is in store for me.”
“My brave Molly!” crled her mother,
pressing, the tall, slim figure to her
heart. “Sty heroine!”
But timie went to prove that Molly
Was wrong, Somebody did want a
Dilud git! for a wite—at least he
showed pretty plainly that he wanted
a certain blind girl—and that gitl was
pretty Molly Devereux!
Young Jim Tremayne came down
from the hospitals full of energy and
ambition, to take 2 partnership with
old Robeson, the practitioner who had
attended Molly from. babyhood. He
was ugly—passing ugly—but strong,
upright, tender-hearted and clever;
and, from the moment his eyes rested
on Molly, there was no otfier womax
in the world for him. Just at first he
pretended to be interested In her case,
asa ease, but afterward he let himselt
be interested in her as a woman—the
one woman—and hardly a day passed
but he found some excuse to visit her
home, and Molly's mother began zo
hope that, after all, Molly's blindness
inizht not have marred all her chances
in Iifet
“I am ugly, of course.” he sald, the
day he confessed all to Mrs. Devereus,.
and received her permission to woo
Molly, “but Molly's exes will never be
marred by a sight of me—and I am
glad she Is blind!” :
He said something of the same kind
to Molly, whom’ he managed to track
down in the old rose garden a few
minutes later, wearlng a soft white
gown, emblem of the simple purity of
her white soul.,
For the past few days she had tried
to avoid bim; her heart having whis-
pered to her, she knew. She had grown
to look for his coming, to wait upon his
opinions expressed in such well-chosen,
decided words; she felt that he was a
man whom she could honor and re-i
Spect,-and even—in her room at night
she had confessed it to herself—lovel
But that he should be attracted by
her—poor, blind Mfollys—had not oc
curred to her.
“You love me, blind as I suaF ake
stammered, the color flushing into her
face as she stood in front of him in
the pathway,. putting out her hands a
ittle uncertainty. 4
“I think I love you because you are
blind!” be said, happlly. She had not |
repulsed him, and that was a point in |
his favor. _ . |
“Shr’—she drew & Jong breath—
“you pity me—"
“Pity you! Nonsense!” he exclaimed,
laughing, possessing himself of her |
two hands. “Mélly, am not hand-|
some: put up your fingers and feet |
my face; but I love you very, very
dearly, and I want you to be my wife,
my dearest, most Lonored possession.
Wil you, darling? Just tell me you
don’t-quite hate me, and I will teach
you to love me, ugly as I am—”
But Molly was simple and straight-
forward; no idea of playing with him
and keeping him in unnecessary sus-
pense entered lrer pretty head.
“If you are sure—it isn't—pity!” she
began, her cheeks flushing again, “for
I could not bear to think that—*
He. bent down and prevented her
from saying more by Kissing her dgain
and again passionately upon the lips.
“Does this feel like pity?” he asked,
tenderly. Then, unrepulsed, he folded
her in his strong young’arms. “Darl.
Ing, my own darling Molly—please God,
I will deserve you and make you happy
always.”

Educational Purposes
By Mayor McClellan, of New York. 7
HE only purpose of public education is to make good citizens of
the republic. We have thrown our doors wide open to the peo
ple of the whole world. Every immigrant who accepts our invi-
= = tation and comes to us !mposes upon us am additional duty which
IAS we cannot shirk. Every little off-shoot of an immigrant, whether
< born here or brought here from abroad, has In him an unlimited
possibility for weal or woe, independent absolutely upon how we
Ssa=nswen" possibility for weal or woe, independent absolutely upon how we
ean care for him.
The craze to turn out complete money-making machines Js not confined
to our colleges; It has even entered the fleld of public education. The time
that the average child can afford to spend at school is necessarily all too
short; so short, in tact, that very little ground can be covered thoroughly.
Public education cannot hope to make specialists. It can only hope to prepare
enildren to in time become specialists. As the requirements of modern condi-
tions change, so the requirements needed to meet modern conditions change.
‘The three R’s of yesterday may not necessarily be the three R’s of today.
But theré are certain fundamental subjects that every one must know,.
and know well, if success In after life is to be hoped for. These fundamentals
are the same all over the world, However much opinions may differ as"to
what should constitute a Hberal or a fundamental education, there should be
no difference of opinion as to what should form the ground work. You have.
a great opportunity here in this convention, you who make education your life
work, to agree upon what these fundamentals should be, and then, by’educating
public sentiment, to cause thefr adoption as the three R’s throughout the
United States.
I do not belfeve that any one can be over-educated. But, pardon me, if I
confess to being old-fashioned. I do not believe that anyone can be.educatcd
who has not at Jeast a smattering of the three R’s. It may possibly serve
some mysteriously useful purpose to teach 12-year-old boys, who cannot read
even the stmplest English, to sew biittons on shirts, or to drill girls of the
same age, to whom the rule of three is unknown, in the thebry, but not im the:
practice of music, and cooking, for both are often brackettd, together in our
School curricula." But the tgnorant outsider who s excluded from the Par
ue ‘educational circles’ may be permitted to wonder at the wherefore
of it all.
The spirit of unrest permeates our whole national life, political, social,
educational. Contentment bids fair to be banished from our existence. He
who fs content is sneered at as belng-without ambition, and yet ambition and
hysterics are very different things. Coatentment and happiness are synony-
mous, but we prefer to sacrifice both in a struggle for the unobtainable. Were
our ambitions laudable, our state of mind would be most commendable, but
uafortunately we scarcely know what we aro striving for. We have forgotten
that deeds are merely a means to An end. Having no particular end In’ view,
we theat tho deeds themselves as the summum bonum, the ultimate object of
attainment,
& we have eaten something that disagrees with us, ff we are cold
|~or dred Gr uncomfortable from some other phystcal causé. When
we feel that kind of irritability, we should ignore {t as we would
ignore a ttle snapping dog across the street, while, at the same
time removing its cause as quickly as-we can. Nothing delights
fae devil more than to scratch a man with the irritability of hunger, and have
‘him respond to ft at once by belng ugly and rude to a. friend, for then the
irritation immediately becomes moral, and every bit of selfishness rushes up
to join It, and to arouse whatever there may be of evil in the man. It is
simple to recognize this merely physical form of irritability, and we should na
more allow ourselves to speak or act or even think from it than we should
allow ourselves to walk directly Into-foul alr when the good fresh alr is close
to us on the other side.
But moral irritability 1s more serious: thal comes from the soul, and is
the result of our wanting our own way. The immediate cause may be some
physical disturbance, such as noise, or it may be aroused by other petty an-
noyances, like that of being obliged to wait for some one who is unpunctual,
or by disagreement in an argument. There are very many causes for irrk
tability, and we each have our own individual sensitiveness or antipathy; bur,
‘whatever the secondary cause, the primary cause Is always the same,—resist-
anco or unwillingness to accept our circumstances. :
if we are fully willing to be disturbed, we cease to be troubled by the
disturbance: if we are willing to walt, we are not annoyed by being kept
waiting, and we are in a Setter, more quiet humor to help our friend t6 the
habit of promptness. If we are willing that another should differ trom.us in
opinion, we can see mora. clearly either to convince olir friend, if hé is willing,
or to admit that he is right, and that we are‘wrong. The essential condition”
of good argument is freedom from personal feeling, with the desire only for.the
truth, whether it comes from one party or the other. ‘
Hurry, worry, and trritability all come from ‘selfish resistance to the facta
of Ife, and the only permanent cure for the waste of force and the exhausting
distress which they Ratail jp.2 willingness to accept those facts, whatever they

In Memory
of my beloved wife MARGARET JOHNSON.
A voice is heard on earth of kinfolks weeping,
The loss of one they love;
But she has gone where the redeemed are keeping.
A festival above.
The mourners throng the ways and from the steeple
The funeral bells toll slowly;
But on the golden streets the holy people Are passing to and fro.
And saying as they meet rejoice, another Long waited for is come;
The Saviour's heart is glad a younger sister Has reached the Father's home.
Husband, BEN JOHNSON.

3 STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Natt. .
A. gentleman who has acquired a ju-
diclal turn of mind from experience on
the bench ont in the Sunflower State,
writes a carefully considered opinion
as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food.
He says:
“For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been o prominent feature in our
Dill of fare. *
“The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty davor has become an indispensa-
ble necessity in'my family’s everyday,
lite. 7
“It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficia), and has enabled us to
Pracfleally abolish pastry and ples
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave-rich and
unwholesome food.
“Grape-Nuts keepspus all in perfect
physical condition—as a preventive of
disease it s beyond value. I have been
particularly finpressed by.the beneficial
effects of Grape-Nats when used by
ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
“As to Its mutritive qualities, my.ex-
peletice 1s that.one small dishvof Grape-
Nuts 1s superior to a pound of meat
for breakfast, which is an tmportant
consideration Yor any one. It satisfies
the appetite and strengthens the pow,

THE VJOLET COLOR OF OLD
GLASS. v
See ee ee “ES SUCUES Tiree
** the Passage of Time,
In many old: bulldings one soos win-
dow panes which have turned pale
‘amethyst color. Manganese ts added
to the glass to neutralize the greea
color which is caused by the presence
of ferrous fron, and, in the course of
time, this manganese changes trom
{ts colorless state, and, turning violet,
gives its hue to the old glass, It has
been observed that radium will eause
this change In glass when ite rays are
allowed to act for only a short time,
The suggestion has been made that
the turning of glass under ordinary
circumstances {s due to the action of
the minute quantities of radioactive
minerals whlch are present in many
locallttes.
Sir Willlam Crookes has been mak-
ing a study of these phenomena and
concludes that the change in glass ts
not due to radium. The sun's reys
possess all the powers of radium rays
only in a vastly smaller degree. He
believes that the long-continued ac-
tion of the sunlight in the eause of
the change noticed in the color of
glass; It was shown some years ago
that some of the sun's rays are pre-
vented from reaching the* earth by
the blanket of the earth's atmosphere,
and these rays which gre taken away
are the ones most active in effecting
such changes as the one, fn glaes. A
striking confirmation of this is af-
forded by the fact that the most raptd
coloring bas been obserred at high
elevations in tropical resfons. Here
the layer of the atmosphere Is thinner
and the eun’s rays- more powerful.
Some especially deeply /colored speci-
megs of glass have been found in
South America in the regton of the
Andes.—Collier’s Weekly.
What Corn Accompliehes.
Cornfed pork furnishes our tables
with millions of hams and nausages,
besides bacon and Jard= Corn pro-
duces the best of poultry and eggs,
of which alone we, as a nation, con-
sume more (when measnred by dol-
Jars) than we do of wheat. Of corn-
starch we use about. $7,000,000 per
year, to say nothing of the enormous
consumption of glue, eombs and oth-
er products made from the horns,
hoofs and hair of those corned
antmals. To all these we must add a
product of corn-oil (maximum $16,000
daily) largely used in paints; and
the by-products of cornoll, starch,
glucose, whiskey and alcohol, dried
and .sold in cakes, for animal food,
amounting to millions of dollars por
year. Nor Is that all that corn accom-
Dlishes. Besides giving food and
ciothing in the form of animal and
vegetable products, as indicated, it
gives life and strength to millfons_of
