VOTES ARE BOUGHT Primary Election in Savannah Boodle-Soaked. MONEY IS SPENT FREELY Estimated That Close to $100,000 Was Scattered' Around—Price of Votes Ranged from Ten to Forty A Savannah special says: The People's Democratic League made a clean sweep of the democratic primary for Chatham county, Tuesday. 'Not a single man on the ticket of the Citizens' Club, of which W. W. Osborne is the leader, has been nominated. The cost of the campaign and the election is estimated by those familiar with the expense that was incurred at between $75,000 and $100,000. A wealthy business man on Monday contributed $10,000 to the People's Democratic League fund. Professional and business men entered with zest into the vote-buying. They stood in the streets about the court house where the voting for the entire county was conducted, waving handfuls of money and practically bidding for votes. A justice of the peace was among those openly purchasing voles. Leaders of both factions, those high in their conclaves and of excellent standing in both church and community, stood by while this buying of votes was in progress, but they interposed no objection. The practice was engaged in more openly than in any previous election that even the most active heelers could recall. The prices paid ranged from ten to forty dollars, although twenty-five dollars was the amount which was paid in nearl yeer case. Both factions indulged in vote buying and had distinctive tickets by which they might recognize the ballot as it was cast. Due bills were given in most instances, though often money was exchanged. One of the methods employed consisted of a pictoral postal. Upon this was a Spanish or Cuban scene, the postal containing a Cuban stamp, in order that it might not be duplicated. On the back of the postal were the letters A, B, O, D, E, F, G and H, in the event the voter was paid $10 the "B" was punched; if he was paid forty dollars the "H" was punched. The buying was done openly. It was estimated that about $00 votes were bought. Order at the court house in Savannah was remarkably good for an election over which the feeling had been aroused as in the present one. GALVESTON ALMOST ISOLATED. Only Bridge Connecting City With Mainland is Burned. About 1,000 feet of the railroad bridge, over a mile long, which connects Galveston island with the mainland, burned Tuesday morning, completely isolating Galveston from all connection with the outside world except by boat. VOL. XXI. Galveston is built on an island in the Gulf of Mexico and a long stretch of shoal water separates the city from the mainland. This water was spanned by the single, long bridge, which burned. This was the only one of three bridges rebuilt after the great storm of four-years ago. PLAGUE IS MENACING INDIA. Over Fifteen Thousand People Succumb. In One Week. The constant ravages of epidemies in India is shown in reports received by the public health and marine hospital service at Washington, the latest one being for the week ended April 28, last, showing 17,355 cases and 15,633 deaths from plague that week. VERDICT 'AGAINST FACKERS. Jury at Kansas City Finds Them Guilty of Accepting Rehates. Guilty of Accepting Rescue Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Cudahy & Co. and the Nelson, Morris Packing company were found guilty in the United States district court at Kansas City Tuesday of accepting concessions from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railway on export shipments on packing house products. Judge McPherson stated that sentence would not be assessed until the case against the Burlington railway, which is charged with granting the concessions to the packers, is concluded. The LABORERS HAVE RIGHTS. Gompers Says That "Request" of the Workingmen for Enactment of The tenth annual convention of the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders convened in Washington Tuesday for a five days' session. The opening exercises were devoted to addresses and orchestra music. Chairman Conner called, the convention to order and delivered a spirited address, in which he expressed the belief that the success of the industrial classes lay in organization on conservative lines. Charles P. Nelll, commissioner of labor, congratulated the delegates on their splendid organization, which he said represented one of the finest examples of success in the trades-union movement. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was the next speaker. He reminded the delegates of the right of organized labor to request congress to pass laws which will benefit them and said that the request had gone forth, but that if it was not answered in better tones the request would be changed into a demand. He said in part: "In the recent past, the representatives of labor have been told they have no right to request from congress of the enactment of laws for the benefit of the tolling millions. Unless such petitions from organized labor are answered. In better tones in the future, we shall change the request into a demand. And, unless the demand is granted, we shall appeal to the sympathy and conscience of our fellow citizens. "We have been told that we have no right to threaten a public servant to defeat him at the polls. My answer to this is that men of great wealth, power and position, representing great financial and capitalistic institutions, are not averse to threatening congressmen, and have even threatened the president. It is claimed that they have the right to do so, and what is right for them cannot be perverted into being wrong when done by us. "Our threatening is to do a lawful thing, and I contend that a thing we have a right to do we have a right to threaten to do." SUBTREASURY IS WANTED. Georgia Bankers Inaugurate Move In That Direction. Principal interest was centered in a movement to establish a sub-treasury in Georgia, and the election of officers for the coming year at Tuesday's session of both the Georgia Bankers' Association and that of the Florida Bankers' Association in Atlanta. As the program for each association called for individual action, separate sessions were held at the New Kimball. Much enthusiasm marked the unanimous passage of a motion providing for the appointment of a committee by the Georgia bankers of fifteen prominent citizens for the purpose of doing all in their power to bring about the establishment of a sub-treasury at some convenient point in the state. NO CO-EDUCATION OF RACES. Kentucky Court Upholds Law for Separate Schools. The Kentucky court of appeals on Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of the legislative act of 1904 prohibiting co-education of the races in the schools of the commonwealth. The case came up from Madison county, where Berea college is located. The court says the new law does not violate the bill of rights or the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution, and that it is constitutional in all but the requirement that white and negro schools shall be twenty-five miles apart when conducted together. The case will go to the United States supreme court. STRIKE OF VAST EXPENSE. Miners in Alabama Loat $499,029 the Past Year. The ninth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America, District No. 20, Alabama began at Birmingham, Monday. President Flynn, in his report, said, that the strike inaugurated July 15, 1904, at the mines of several large mining corporations in the state, continues without material change and with no prospect of a termination. The report of the secretary-treasurer showed that the strike in Alabama has cost the miners $499,029 SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 16, 1906. BLOWN TO ATOMS Eleven Men Lose Life in Dynamite Explosion. BIG PLANT DEMOLISHED Nothing Left of Victims for Iden- tification—Five Others Were Seri- ously Injured—Cause of Ex- plosion Unknown. Eleven men were blown to pieces and five others were seriously injured by the explosion of a dynamite plant Saturday near Pequca, Pa., along the Susquehanna river. Those killed were: Benjamin Gebhardt, Benjamin Riner, George Riner, Fred Rice, Collins Parker, Charles Shiff, William Funk, John Boatman, all young men between the ages of 17 and 23; an unknown man; two unknown men, residents of York county. All except the last two lived in the immediate vicinity of the dynamite plant. The victims, were literally torn to pieces, not enough remaining of a single body to make identification possible. The cause of the explosion is not known. The two unknown residents of York county who were killed had just started to drive from the place with a load of dynamite. They had scarcely gained a distance of 50 feet, when the plant blew up with a detonation that was plainly heard 15 miles away. A great cloud of smoke covered the site of the factory, and, when it had cleared away, there was not a vestige of the wagon, horses or men who had left the factory only a moment before. The air was filled with debris and fragments of human bodies and pieces of flesh and limbs were found hanging to trees nearly 100 yards from the scene of the disaster. People living near the factory rushed out of their homes, and began the work of rescue, but there were few persons who had not been blown to atoms. The remains of these were gathered up and placed in soap boxes. The injured, some of whom it is thought will die, were taken to their homes in the vicinity. The plant consisted of a dozen building. All were blown to pieces, except a remote structure in which several girls were at work. The dynamite plant was owned by G. R. McAbee & Co., of Pittsburg, and manufactured the explosive for use in the Pennsylvania construction work in that section. CHECK ON CORPORATIONS Senate Bill Forbids Contributions to Campaign Funds. The bill prohibiting corporations from making money contributions in connection with political campaigns was passed by the senate Saturday. The bill reads as follows: "That it shall be unlawful for any national bank or any corporation, organized by authority of any laws of congress, to make a money contribution in connection with any election to any political office. It shall also be unlawful for any corporation whatever to make a money contribution in connection with an election at which presidential and vice presidential electors or a representative in congress is to be voted for or any election by any state legislature of a United States senator. Every corporation which shall make any contribution in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $5,000 and every officer or director of any corporation who shall consent to any contribution by the corporation in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be subject to a fine of not exceeding $1,000. Order Adds More Men to Army. An order just issued by the secretary of war will add 965 men to the army. It provides for the organization of a machine gun detachment for each regiment of infantry and cavalry. POOR OLD DOWIE IN COURT. Wain and Wasted, Fake Elijah Goes on the Witness Stand. John Alexander Dowle was the star witness Tuesday in the trial of the issue of who is the owner of Zion City in the United States circuit court at Chicago. As he was wheeled in a chair to the witness stand the ravages of the disease from which he is suffering were plainly evident in his wasted body. Dowle's testimony was in the main a recital of the history of his life up to the time he was deposed by General Overseer Volla. AN ENTIRELY NEW MOVE. President Roosevelt Will Try for Government Ownership of Vast Areas of Bituminous Coal Lands. 'A Washington special says: Government ownership of a vast body of bituminous coal lands is the next move on President Roosevelt's program. In the very near future, President Roosevelt will issue an order withdrawing from entry under the mineral land laws something like forty million acres of coal land now embraced in the nation's public domains. This will be done for the purpose of preparing the way for legislation at the next session of congress providing for a system of leasing these lands for future development, the title to remain in the government, something after the manner in which the German government owns the coal lands of that country. In taking this step President Roosevelt is looking forward to the time in the future-the far future, to be sure-when the bituminous mines of the east and of the south are exhausted, or practically so, it being his idea that the existing supply should be in the hands of the government. Attorney General Moody is now making an investigation into the laws to see just how far the president is empowered to go in his withdrawal program without action by congress. It is understood that his investigation has particularly to do with lands supposed to contain coal, but where the fact has not yet been determined by surveys and investigations. There can be no doubt of the president's authority to withdraw lands known to contain mineral and coal deposits, but there is some doubt of his power to apply the same process to other lands. Most of the lands to be converted by this new movement are in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Ariona and New Mexico. ADAMSON'S VIEW POINT Of Diffranchisement in Georgia Shown in Accepting Renunciation At Warm Springs, Saturday, Judge W. C. Adamson was nominated for congress for the sixth time by the democrats of the fourth Georgia district. Resolutions heartily indorsing his record were adopted. Judge Adamson's nomination was unanimous and enthusiastic. His speech of acceptance was received with close attention and applause. After warmly thanking his constituents for their continued confidence in him, Judge Adamson discussed national affairs, and then matters closer to home. On the question of disfranchisement in Georgia, he said in part: "I trust that sudden conversion bear no relation to political exigency. People who lightly demand 'disfranchisement' may injure the state and both races by disturbing existing and satisfactory conditions which result from the wisest solution of the question possible; but they forget that real disfranchisement is already re-complished in Georgia, the only state in which it has been done effectually and constitutionally. The best opening possible for alleged reformers to serve their country with effect would be to undertake the task of persuading other southern states to adopt Georgia's policy at once. "The framers of our constitution knew that an educational test—with all the money of all our enemies at the disposal of the negroes who can go naked and live on nothing and go to school all the time—would intensely multiply votes among such people, while white men—no matter how illiterate, having both pride and energy, having to keep up appearances, clothe their families, pay their debts and keep up their self respect—are compelled to allow some of their children to work. "Those who are willing to abandon our advantage in the Georgia situation may be comforted to know that Mr. Carnegie is being urged to devote $100,000,000 to demoralize the negro by supporting and educating the young negro in the wrong way in those southern states which have the educational and grandfather clauses." WOULD-BE RAPIST SHOT. Young Lady Telephone Operator Fills Negro With Lead. With rare presence of mind, Miss Pearl Jones, night telephone operator at Selma, N. C., Saturday night, shot and fatally wounded Bud Anderson, who, by his own confession, preemitted rape upon her. Miss Jones heard noises in the rear of her office, and went to investigate. The negro attacked her, and she shot five times, several bullets taking effect. The negro, who will die, made a confession, implicating a companion. The latter has been failed. BRYAN HEARS NEWS "This is So Sudden;" Said He, When Told of Boom. Telegrams and Letters Caught Him In German Capital After Merry, Chase—Will Return 'Home "This is too sudden," said William J. Bryan with a laugh when he was told at Berlin, Germany, Monday of the adoption by recent state conventions of resolutions favoring his nomination for the presidency of the United States in 1903. "This is the first announcement of this news to me," Mr. Bryan concluded. "I have been off the main caravan route for some time and have been absorbed in what I have been seeing and doing." Mr. Bryan had been moving so rapidly since he left Vienna on Saturday that letters and telegrams for him did not reach him until Monday. As to the possibility of his nomination, he had little to say, declaring it is too early to speak of that question, but taking up the subject of the political requirements, he said: "Before leaving home I tried to distinguish between democracy and what can properly be called socialism. Democracy recognizes competition as legitimate and tries to preserve the competitive principle from attack. Socialism sees competition as an evil to be eliminated by public ownership and operation of all means of production and distribution. While this distinction between democracy and socialism should not be overlooked, the democratic platform must be one of progress and reform, and not merely of opposition to republican policies or socialistic ideas. I nour fight for the absolute elimination of private monopolies and for the regulation of corporations in general, it is necessary that the party shall be free from any suspicion of alliance with the corporate interests that have been dominating American politics. To this end campaign contributions must be limited to those who have the public interest to advance. I trust that public sentiment will require all parties to keep their books open so that hereafter no party shall be under private obligations to shield corporate offenders." Alluding to conditions in the meat industry, Mr. Bryan sald: "The beef trust is not different in character and methods from other trusts. The tendency of a private monopoly is to increase the price of a product and to lower its quality. Why should any one expect anything else from a trust than the lowering of quality when a monopoly is established. Observe I have used the words private monopoly not public. In a private monopoly a private interest is set up against those of the whole people. Quite a different principle comes into operation when the interest of all is alone in view." Mr. Bryan left Berlin for St. Petersburg Tuesday morning, and from there will visit Sweden and Norway. He will arrive in England early in July, and then will visit France, Italy and Switzerland. He expects to sail on the steamer Princess Irene from Gibraltar on August 20 and to arrive in New York-on August 29. NATIONAL T. P. A. MEETS. Convention of Travelers' Protective Association in Buffalo. The annual convention of the Travelers' Protective Association assembled in Buffalo, N.

COBURN DECLINED HONOR Arkansas Governor Must Try Again for a Successor to Burton. Foster Coburn, who was appointed a few days ago by Governor E. W. Hoch to be United States senator, succeeding Joseph R. Burton, has decided not to accept the appointment. Governor Hoch immediately offered the vacancy to Judge A. W. Benson of Ottawa, Franklin county. Judge Benson is a close friend of Governor Hoch, both politically and personally. YELLOW FEVER GASES Taken Off Steamer from-Colon Bound. for Gulfport, Miss.-Now Quarantined on Ship Island. The fact that three cases of yellow fever have been under quarantine for the past ten days at Ship Island, a government quarantine station in the gulf of Mexico, about midway between the mouth of the Mississippi river and Mobile, Ala., was made public in New Orleans Monday by Dr. C. H. Irion, president of the Louisiana state board of health. The announcement of the yellow fever cases was the result of a discussion between Dr. Irion and Health Officer Hunter of Mississippi over the fact that they had not been notified immediately of the fever's presence. The cases came from Colon, and were taken off the steamer Whitehall, which was bound for Gulfport, Miss. Ship Island is a short distance south of the Mississippi coast, and in charge of United States marine hospital officers, who immediately notified Surgeon General Wyman of the Uptailed States public service and marine hospital service. Dr. Irion commented upon the circumstances under which this report was made. He announced also that quarantine orders have been issued against Celba, Honduras, at which port it is reported that refugees are gathering to escape yellow fever, which is said to be breaking out at several points in Honduras. He also said that he had received reports that there is yellow fever in Havana. BANKERS OF TWO STATES Meet in Georgia Capital for a Joint Convention. The ball room of the New Kimball in Atlanta was on Monday the home of one of the most notable conventions ever held in the Georgia capital, and among the men-who attended the joint session of the Georgia Bankers' Association and the Florida Bankers' Association, were many of the most prominent and influential citizens of the entire south. The address of United States Treasurer Charles H. Treat, was the feature of the joint convention. Tumultuous applause greeted the following statement by President Joseph T. Orme of the Georgia Bankers' Association, in his address: "Among the many things we have to be thankful for in this great commonwealth, is the wise and economical manner in which our state government has been administered. For over a quarter of a century, while stories of graft and corruption have been coming to us from almost every part of the country, our ship of state has sailed or seronely in placid waters, and not the faintest breath of scandal has tainted the fair name of a single one of our statehouse officials, or of a member of our judiciary. The people of our state are enjoying unbounded prosperity, and our financial skies were never brighter." GIRL'S SLAYER ELECTROCUTED. President Was Asked to Save Tucker, But Declined. Charles L. Tucker was electrocuted, in Boston, Mass., at 12:12 Tuesday morning for the murder of Mabel Page, March 3, 1904. One of the incidents of the day was a telegram received at the state house by Governor Guild from President Roosevelt in relation to the case. It was as follows: "Governor Curtis Guild, Boston, Mass: Have been requested on behalf of certain parties in Boston to interfere with the execution of Tucker, it being alleged that it is my duty so to do inasmuch as I have the power under the federal laws. "No showing has been made to me that I have the power, but without regard to this I desire to state to you that in my judgment your decision not to interfere with the carrying out of the sentence of Tucker seems to me entirely sound, and commands my hearty sympathy. It seems particularly a case in which there should be no interference with the carrying out of the sentence. THEODORE ROOSEVELT." "GAS" ADDICKS RELEGATED.

Wo, Bo: Neat Printing at Reasonable. Prices Let the 15th Amendment Alone. Savannah Colored Citizens Against Its Repeal. DR. J. A. BROCKETT OF ST. JAMES' CHURCH IN ABLE SERMON ANNIHILATES JUDGE HAMMOND'S PLEA FOR ITS Despite the steady downpour of rain last Sunday night, a large audience of Savannah's representative citizens filled the elegant auditorium of St. James Tabernacle to hear Dr. J. A. Brockett, the statesmanic pastor, in his critical analysis of Judge William R. Hammond's speech, which was read before the great audience present at the annual commencement exercises of the Georgia State Industrial College June the sixth. Dr. Brockett's text was from Isaiah 40: 21, 22, 23. The speaker said: The purpose of God, as voiced in my text, as surely and positively confounds arrogance and haughty presumption of unjust men and nations today as in the day of the impious Pharaoh. On last Wednesday, I was a witness of a remarkable exhibition of intellectual legerdemain at the State College. I refer to the address of Judge W. R. Hammond of Atlanta. That it was a masterly production no person would deny—whose privilege it was to listen to it. Hammond the Mesmerist. That the author succeeded in deluding his hearers by his mesmeric and beautiful sophistries was clearly evidenced by the fact that, at an opportune moment, the audience was startled by the words, "Mr. President," coming from a man who stood at the rear of the platform—"In indorsement of this most excellent address by Judge Hammond, I move you, sir, that the same shall be printed." My sorrow for the perpetrator of that mad act is only equalled by my sympathy for President Wright in the wholly false and delicate position in which the motion placed him. Putting the motion, President Wright stated: "I know that Judge Hammond cannot expect us to indorse all that is contained in his address." When the motion was put, the entire audience, with few exceptions, stood, voting in the affirmative. The author of the motion whose zeal to be a leader of the people is lacking in the saving qualities of discretion and fine discernment. Or, on the other hand, so diligent was the author of the motion in procuring to himself the credit for such an infamous motion; the liberties of his kith and kin which were purchased at a cost little less than vicarious were sacrificed, on the altar of personal ambition. Or, if he is the possessor of discretion, was his act the product of cupidity and avarice, seeking to satiate itself with blood money in the barter of the liberties of his people? The Author of the Address—The Address Analyzed. The Author of the Motion. That no injustice or hardship may be done to the address or the central figures now inseparably wedded to it; let us soberly consider what the author means and would have us do—and what the fulfilment of the indorsement, if favorably acted upon by either the state or national legislature, would mean to us as a race. Judge Hammond, the Author, as an individual, represents, in his person proper, the customs, traditions and institutions of the south in their bloom of intensest form. These, in their ancient expression, executed their will upon cur race-Shylock-like—without the saving grace of benign Portla to the utmost ounce of flesh and last drop of blood. He represents that south the foundation of whose ancient glory and wealth was laid in the sweat of our kindred—tolling unrequited to the accompaniment of the widow's moan, the fetter's clank and the orphan's cry. In his official person, Judge Hammond is the embodiment of legal perversion. He is a southern judge; and he he soever urbane in his person proper—yet he is in his person official an essential part of that legal machine of the south whose dictum long since went forth that the Negro has no rights the white man is bound to respect; and his address of Wednesday is but a polite and rhetorically polished iteration of that blunt and unjust expression. In no place is he more faithful to the old south, as well as the new, than in one of his opening sentences. His words are: "I want to discuss it today from the standpoint of a southern white man." In these words lies the pith of the whole matter. in these. How can the Negro confide in the words or dealings of this "southern man" with the memories of the last ever before him? white man, with the memory of Two hundred and forty-seven years of bootless toll and the harsh severance of the most sacred ties haunt us still to still further gratify this man's lust for gold greedily gathered from the washing pan filled with flesh and human blood. How can confidence be placed in his beautiful words, advising patience and consideration, when, since the horrible nightmare of civil strife has passed, instead of exercising the same patience and consideration toward a then plastic race by instructing that race how to properly use its newly conferred boon of freedom and citizenship—he has resorted to every form of craft which a subtle mind could deyise to thwart our hollest desires to obstruct our progress for more than two decades? and now unblushingly admit to us—yes, we have, wronged you—we are now wronging you—and as a southern white man, we desire to stop wronging you—not indeed because of your sakes, but because the wrong we are doing you, injures us, it impedes our progress, it prevents us as white men from being honest to and with each other. These are the words of the judge: "As I said just now, the wisest men in all sections of our country have come to recognize the mistake that was made by the republican party in the passage of this amendment. But the amendment is there, and is no less a cause of irritation and separation than it was in the beginning. For the south to be rid of its effects, she must resort to unmanly expedients; and she ought no longer to be required to do that. Her white people are forced into a solidity which is unnatural and which does them harm. There can be no free interchange of opinion on economic questions, for every white man must remain in line to protect her against the ever-threatening menace of the black vote. She is counted on as a matter of course, for the support of the democratic candidate for president, and the campaign speeches of her leaders are perfunctory because there is no opposition. There is no real contest in her election campaigns, and no education of the masses from her hustings. The consequence is that her best men, as a rule, do not seek office, for it only takes-shrewdness to pull political wires and manipulate party conventions, and a nomination is the equivalent of an election. It is not only unfortunate, but calamitous, for a party nomination to take the place of an election, because it insures the reign of the politician and political trickster instead of the wise statesman and strong party leader. leader. "Leaving to one side the question of the duty of the white man, I ask, What can the Negro do to get rid of his grievances? Is there any duty resting upon him to rise up and cast him out, or must he sit and wait for the white man to find the remedy? I want to speak of the Negro's duty and responsibility in regard to this race problem, and I insist out wherein the solution of it depends upon him. The Negro's Responsibility. The man with a grievance does not commend himself to us. He is to be avolded, and not courted. We do not like his looks, and we do not care to listen to what he has to say. If he harbors his grievances, until he is completely under its domination, he becomes a dangerous character. And it makes no difference whether his grievance is well founded or not. The effect of it upon his own life and character is just the same in either case. acter is just the same in either case. Most grievances are well founded, at least, to some extent. It is seldom that they are purely fanciful, though they sometimes are. But whether fanciful or not, they produce an unhealthy effect unless they are promptly expelled from the mind." This plaint of the judge is pathetic, and his own language contains its strongest refutation; for if the grievance of the Negro is because of the wrongs inflicted by this southern white man, why may not the judge and those for whom he pathetically pleads on account of the wrong the fifteenth amendment does to his people take and profit by the same advice he offers us, namely, be patient and considerate. The fifteenth amendment was adopted by twenty-nine out of thirty-seven states. Why not bear it patiently? This will result in that perfect understanding by all who recognize the human bond referred to by the judge in the paragraph below: Patlenca and Consideration Required. "I am sure the race problem will never be solved by the men of either race who are impatient and intolerant and whose utterances have a tendency to irritate rather than conciliate the feelings of those who are members of a different branch from themselves of the great human family; for this problem requires the utmost patience and consideration on both sides, and, above all, the spirit that recognizes the brotherhood of all races of man that dwell together upon the face of the earth. No white man who falls to recognize the human bond that binds him to his 'brother in black' is in a fit condition to accord to him that sympathetic consideration which must be brought into play by those who would be of any assistance whatever in bringing about that understanding between the two races which will meet with universal recognition as the solution of the race problem of the south." This just judge desires us to bear the wrongs his people inflict upon us, and at the same time sustain the labor and responsibility of ridding him and his people of their grievance. As a more equal division of the labor in the solution of this problem, I would advise that the judge and his people come out in the open—abolish the white primaries—abolish the chain gang—blot out the stockades, their gross iniquities—restore to us that which the chattel mortgage has robbed us of and patiently and loyally obey the law as declared in the fifteenth amendment. If this standard of just dealing is too high with all of his conveniences of wealth, buttressed by his thousand years of civilization and culture; if his people cannot, or will not, attain to this just standard—then in either case the judge must admit that the Negro, as a race, is vastly superior to his own race, if he expects the Negro, with but forty-five years of freedom, to do that which his own people either cannot, or will not, do after having a thousand years of freedom. In either case, the admission of Negro superiority is evident. If not, the address of the judge is a hopeless tangle of inconsistencies from which no amount of official dignity or scholarly attainments can extricate him or his; and simple meanness in a continuation of wrong-doing will but deepen the ultimate damnation of the perpetrators of the wrongs to this race whose patience the judge admits to be admirable. Such a course pursued by a common lawbreaker would find speedy conviction at the bar of Judge Hammond's own court. As the confessed criminal in this case is the southern white man, he makes this plea, that the law of heedredity so powerfully operates upon the southern white man through inherited traditions—they just can't help doing wrong—therefore, the Negro must very patiently and cheerfully bear those wrongs until we southern white men learn to do better. In other words, we are asked to cheerfully surrender every right as citizens and to unite with the southern white man in the effort to repeal the fifteenth amendment on the dubious pretext that in the far, very far, future it will possibly be better for our grandchildren. Immediate benefits for himself and possible benefits for our grandchildren, is the alluring prize the judge misled our brother with who made that mad motion. The American Inquisition. If in the face and defiance of law, the Negro has been, and is now being, subjected to all of the horrors of the Spanish inquisition by burnings, lynchings, mobbings and proscription in various forms, where, in these outrages, can we find any assurance that it will be better if the law is repealed? The judge advises us to leave the life raft and jump in the sea to be saved from being drowned, and our little colored brother at the rear shouts amen, judge. The judge advises that it is unwise for us to talk of our wrongs: "Let us examine the grievances of the Negro in detail, and see, first, what they are, and next, what the remedy is. Folly of Useless Assertion. "The Negro claims that he does not have a fair chance in the business world. He says that he 13 shut out from the best places by the white man. I do not think he is much inclined to complain of this, but nevertheless, it is one of his grievances. Of course, he has no just cause of complaint unless it is true that he is shut out on account of his race or color. Theoretically, all avenues of business are open to him, but practically he cannot enter them. His remedy is, to enter where he can, and wait. This will adjust itself in the natural order of things in the future. There are instances, but they are fewer in the south than elsewhere, where he is shut out from lucrative employment by the tyranny of labor organizations. Of this he has a just right to complain; but his best course, here as always, is to appeal to the sense of honor of the man or class who does him injustice. Every honest man will do the right and fair thing if you will give him time." In the above paragraph, the judge closes his ears to the voice of history and rejects the evidence of the most illustrious witnesses in the world's courts. These are the Puritans. Call the name of Kossuth to a Hungarian—of Garlbaldi to an Italian—of Parnell or Davitt to an Irishman—of Maceo or Gomez to a Cuban—of Washington, Henry or Franklin to an American—of Napoleon to Frenchman. These men stirred the world on account of the wrongs done their people—why should the Negro do less? Free speech and a free-press are privileges for which civilized men gave their all. Why should the Negro do less? Why should he expect those immunities, privileges and personal accessories of advancing civilization if he is unwilling to speak pray, labor and suffer for them? Too long has he sat in dumb quletude under the anaesthetic of such doctrine as the judge administers until his civil rights have been filched and now his paternal privileges are invaded by the court's order for the suppression of the fraternal order of Elks and the assault upon Pythianism. With your state militia disbanded and your fraternal orders outlawed, there is but one link more to forge in the chain of civil oppression—that is, the violation of your religious liberties. All of this Judge Hammond's speech means to the present generation, and this can but breed worse for the generations to follow. That is what the fatal motion and vote means to our people, if carried to the desired end and unrighteous wish of the author of the address, his beautiful sophistries and illusions to the contrary notwithstanding. The Author of the Motion. Who is the author of this motion—this impulsive leader of his people to the brink of civil death? He is, in his person proper, the objectionable reminder of a wronged people, the representation of slavery, degradation, a member of a race whose sufferings in contravention of enacted laws, have no parallel in the world's history. In his official person, he is a minister of the gospel, wearing the spotless ermine of the Son of God, who, by his motion, says to the southern white man, spread abroad your false teaching, forge your shackles of civil oppression—here are my people—I loose them to your will of hatred, prejudice and greed unrestrained by all law. Blot out the fifteenth amendment; plow up the gravés of both patriot, martyr and soldier dead, that the southern white man may be permitted to exercise his will upon the Negro at pleasure. In the past we have suffered from the rash acts of our own people whose zeal was un tempered by knowledge, but the commencement at the State College furnished no real ground for the exhibition of such ill-timed zeal or lack of knowledge of the dire consequences of such an act.

THE FUTURE OF COAL And the Impending Exhaustion of World's Iron Supply. S EVERAL months ago the chief varying, in ordinary seasons, from of the Swedish geological survey, in pursuance of a resolu- $4.63 to $5.21 per ton. This is the competition which American coal varying in ordinary seasons, from $4.63 to $5.21 per ton. This is the competition which American coal would have to meet, since from that port of debarkation, common to all imported coals, the costs of duty and freightage to the interior would be the same. tion adopted by the Swedish Parlament, prepared a report showing the extent of the known deposits of iron in the world and the rate at which such deposits are being consumed. While there has been some dissension as to the exactness of certain details contained in the report, it may be accepted as a substantially accurate investigation of a subject of vital importance to the world. Most duelqueting in this report is the conclusion that we are likely to run short of iron within a single century if the present rate of consumption is malnutrition. The railway freight rate on coal from Havre to Paris is seventy francs per carload of ten tons, or $1.33 per ton for a haul of 143 miles. The rate by the River Seine, which is open to navigation practically the entire year, is from $1.03 to $1.10 per ton. Add to this the import duty of twenty-six cents, and it will be seen that the Belgian and Welsh coals can be landed in ordinary times at the docks outside the walls of Paris for about $6.30 to $6.50 per ton. The wholesale price charged by importers to local dealers for bituminous coal is at present slightly more than $10 per ton. Is there not, in the margin of $3.50 and $3.64 between these figures an opportunity for American coal, provided the whole transaction, including mining, railway and ocean transportation, and transshipment at seaports, is so organized and managed as to develop a large trade and reduce expenses per ton to a minimum? In other words, can American bituminous coals of the grades adapted to gas manufacture, domestic use and general industrial purposes, be delivered in large quantities at Havre for a cost not exceeding $5 per ton? The world has only 10,000,000,000 tons of iron ore available. Of these Germany has twice as many tons as the United States. Russia and France each have 400,000,000 tons more than this country. Our annual consumption of iron is placed at 35,000,000 tons, which is more than a third of the world's total consumption. Commenting on the known and generally accepted facts of the situation, the Iron and Coal Trades Review in one of its recent issues stated: "We would seem to be within a little more than half a century of an absolute iron famine. This fact raises problems of serious consequence to the world's iron industry and to the outlook of civilization itself." The efficient Consul-General of the United States at Paris, Mr. F. Mason, has analyzed with considerable astuteness the problems involved in this threatened industrial catastrophe. From an elaborate report of his we abstract the following facts: It remains to consider the correlation between these conditions and the future ore supply of the United States and certain European countries, as described in the first section of the present report. Coal imported into France pays a duty of twenty-six cents per metric ton. In respect to duty, freight up the Seine to Paris, and other charges American coal would be on the same basis as Belgian and British coals, which come into France principally by that route. It is well known that the high-class ores of the lake district in America will, at the present rate of consumption, be exhausted within less than fifty years. The Mesaba deposits, with the present annual output of 12,000,000 tons or thereabouts, will not outlast twenty-five years, and it requires only a simple calculation to demonstrate that a continued yearly consumption of 35,000,000 tons of ore by the iron and steel industries of the United States will within the lifetime of many persons now living eat away entirely the 1,100,000,000 tons which, according to the Swedish report cited, constitute our country's entire workable supply as at present known. Inasmuch, therefore, as the United States possess but about one-ninth of the world's ore deposit and yet consumes more than one-third of the total annual output from all countries, the conclusion is direct and unavoidable that the future economic policy of American iron masters should be secure by all practical means the largest possible ore supply from the mines of other countries. How can this be more economically and effectively accomplished? The demand for foreign coal will increase with the gradual exhaustion of the French mines and the consumption will be augmented in proportion to whatever reduction can in future be made in the present high cost of fuel. There are millions of tons of good coking and gas coals in the Alleghany and Cumberland districts of the United States which can be produced with great profit at the mouth of the mine for an average price of $1 to $1.25 per ton. When the railroads now projected or under construction are finished and in operation it should be possible to carry such coals to side-water for a freight rate not much, if anything, in excess of $1 per ton. When, in 1002, the project of exporting American coal to Europe was actively discussed, it was the consensus of expert opinion that the successful development of such a trade would require the construction of a special class of vessels which would do for the ocean going coal traffic what they had done for the ore and coal trade of the Great Lakes, namely, steel barges of 10,000 tons burden, stamthy built, with quarters for a crew of ten to fifteen men, and engine power sufficient for a speed of eight or ten knots per hour, which would give steerageway sufficient for safe handling in all weathers. Given a fleet of vessels, with loading docks for coal along the Chesapeake Bay or Atlantic Coast, and a reliable return freight, and the problem of a large and expanding coal export to Europe, which depends primarily on an ocean freight rate not exceeding $1.25 to $1.50 per ton, would be practically solved. The problem is largely one of transportation, in which the item of marine freight rates plays a dominant part. An economic long-distance ocean rate for heavy, low-class merchandise involves necessarily two conditions, viz: vessels especially adapted to the trade, and return freights that will bear an equal or higher charge for transportation. The ship that brings ore from Spain, Sweden and other European countries to the United States must have each trip an eastward-bound cargo that will be more than ballast and yield a regular and definite profit. There is but one material which will meet the requirements of the case, and that is cool. It is in respect of quantity and quality of coal supply that the advantage of North America over European countries is decisive and overwhelming. Whatever may be the facts concerning ores, the known coal measures of the United States render their fuel supply secure, abundant and of excellent quality for centuries to come. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of gas and coking coals of high quality in the Appalachian region—to say nothing of other regions—which have as yet been hardly scratched by the pick and drill of the miner. New coal deposits of great or less extent and value are being discovered from year to year. With what is now known the present enormous annual output of 280,000,000 tons of biltuminous coal can be maintained for hundreds of years without exhausting the available supply. As return freights, the potash minerals of Germany have been suggested, but they are limited in quantity and restricted by various conditions, so that there remains but one available resource, and that is iron ores of Spain, Finland and the Scandinavian Peninsula, three countries which, together, now mine about 14,000,000 tons per annum, but which, for want of cheap and abundant fuel, smelt not more than one-third or one-fourth of that amount. The time will doubtless come when most, if not all, European countries will prohibit the export of native coal, except to their own colonies. The imported fuel supplies of France, Italy, Spain and Scandinavia will then have to come mainly from beyond the Atlantic. It will be strange indeed if American foresight shall fall to recognize the opportunity which time will ripen and the laws of demand and supply will offer to American enterprise.—Scientific American. In Europe, on the contrary, the years of adequate coal provision are definitely numbered. In England experts estimate the duration of the workable coal measures to be from sixty to one hundred years. Germany has a somewhat longer lease of industrial life dependent on coal supply, but already the subject is so acute that a heavy contract for the delivery of German coal to France for iron and steel works is understood to have been cancelled recently at heavy loss to the sellers, because, it is definitely understood, the imperial Government objected to the depletion of the National coal supply for the benefit of neighboring countries. France has native coal for a generation or more, but the mines are deepening, the cost of production is gradually increasing, and economists are looking with growing apprehension to the future. Twenty-five, or at most thirty years hence, the question of an adequate fuel supply will be a serious problem for France. A Check on Conductors "The car conductors in Quebec," said the traveling man, "don't have much of a show to beat the company. Every passenger deposits his fare in a box fitted with a slot arrangement. The conductor carries it by a strap in his hand, and the only money he touches is that necessary to make change. Of course, there is a sort of cash register attachment to the box, so that the conductor has no chance to 'knock down' in making change. He holds the box in front of the passenger until the latter drops his fare in the slot. I wondered, when I first went to Quebec, why the hands of the conductors were so much cleaner and their clothes so much neater than those of conductors in United States cities. It finally dawned on me that those boxes explained it. The Quebec conductors don't have to handle thousands of coins every day, and don't have to carry hundreds of dimes and nickels in their coat pocket." In 1903 France consumed 42,604,100 tons of coal, of which 34,217,601 tons were the product of French mines, while the remaining 8,476,430 tons were imported.

X.-Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. Donald D. Macarthin, pastor of the Greene Avenue-Baptist Church, preached on "To Know the Unknowable: a Prayer." The text was from Ephesians iii: 17-19: "To the 'end that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge." He said in the course of his sermon: Who can know the unknowable? Is not this in the nature of a paradox? Wherein can one be so strengthened as to become able to apprehend that which is really beyond the reach of his apprehension? Has not Paul here erred in a prayer otherwise luminous, spiritual, profound and possible? Has he not introduced here something that ordinary mortals cannot grasp? Well, I think that it will be as well for us to go slowly in our disposition to criticise him. It is a safe rule to assume that these apostolic men know what they were about. I am convinced that Paul not only knew by experience the things he said; but that he was inspired by the Holy Spirit in all his writing. What about life? What about the duration of sentient existence? What about the continuity of that which we call ourselves? Tell us, thou biologist? Perhaps thy science is more exact than that of the mathematician or the man who philosophizes about 'time. Tell us, if you can, what is life? Hast thou ever seen it? No—never! Hast thou ever touched it? Only indirectly, Canst thou tell us what it is? No! Then space runs into infinity, time runs into forever and forever, and life runs into God! And we know something about all of these; and yet there is no limit to their vast extent. It has done us good to investigate them—it is a noble exercise—it is unlaring to the mind and the heart to come into contact with concepts so sublime and mighty as these. So it is with this matter which Paul prays that we shall comprehend. We shall not be able to master it, and yet we can by studying it apprehend something to its immeasurable depths, something of its infinite length, something of its all inclusive breadth, something of its mighty altitude. And so Paul prays that we shall be so rooted and grounded in love that we shall be able to apprehend with all saints, high and lowly, rich and poor, ancient and modern, the dimensions of Christ's love. Now, let us for the sake of clearness of thought define a few of the terms of our wealthy text. To the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love. Love here means love toward our fellow creatures. Indeed, it always means that in the Bible unless it is otherwise defined. It means the affection we should have for the men and women of earth, the people of whom we are and to whom we belong by race connections. It is to be a reflection of God's lore for the race. Its energy is to be measured only by the energy of the Divine love. Its inclusiveness is to be limited and measured only by the inclusiveness of the Divine love. Out of the heart are the issuages of life. When love is in the heart everything is love begotten. Foundationed, like a building which has been settled, as a whole, and will never show cracks or faws in the future through failures in the foundation. Here, then, is the idea of the soul being so placed as to make it strong for the noblest life. The two metaphors supplement one another—they belong to each other. The former, rooted, gives us the idea of organic life and growth; the latter, foundationed, gives us the idea of strength derived from the union of parts. A Christianity which is not rooted is always unstable. A Christian love that has not penetrated into the depths is not a love of a permanent or enduring character. O that the love of every one of us may penetrate into the very being of God! That the tendrils of our affections may twine themselves about the heart of the incarnate God! Then shall we be stable, then shall we grow. To the end that ye, being rooted and foundationed in love, may be strong to apprehend with all the saints. Strong for what? That you may know the love of Christ in all its mighty dimensions! And this is a most natural evolution. To acquire love is to obtain finer powers of percepting. There is nothing like love for sharpening the wits. The eyes and ears of a loving mother are immeasurably quicker than the senses of the loveless. It is not true that love is blinky. love is endowed with sight of enormous range. But while he was yet off of His, 'he saw Him.' Do not be surprised, therefore, to find that when we are rooted and grounded in love we obtain finer powers of apprehension. But what are divine love and grace! The holy panorama is stupendous, and even with our sharpened spiritual senses we cannot take in the infinite glory. And so the apostle tells us that we are to apprehend it with all the saints, with the help of all the saints! It takes all of us to survey the vast estate: One Christian sees one aspect of the glory and another beholds another. The Matterborn, seen from Zernatt, is one thing; from the Eggishorn it is quite another. And so with these stupendous wonders of divine glory. Each Christian is to behold his own share of the marvelous revelation. Matthew will discern one aspect, and Mark another, and Luke another, and John another. Each individual will behold some individual glory. The furrow of one field abounds in wonders; what then of the infinite estate? 1. Let us notice how wide is the compass of love. To the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strong to apprehend with all the saints, what is the breadth? How breadd is its compass? Why, my friends, the love of Christ is so broad as to take in this whole world! The love of Christ comprehends all men, all people, reaching to the utmost stretch of human sin, or sorrow, or need it is the great gospel whosever. How broad is this love of Christ? There is nothing to unbinding to it. Do you mean that Jesus Christ can love the men who has lived a wicked, yes, a vile life—who now heart upon his face the marks of the beast; who is so repentive that we should to look upon him—that man, that poor wretch of a thing—that man in the gutter, that man disowned by his own father, and, listen to it, his own mother, and all his friends? Will not that man's excesses shut him out from the love of Christ? No. No. Even for that man, defiled, wretched, Jesus Christ has love. He hates the sin; but loves the sinner. He came to seek and to save, just such broken lives as that! 2. How far it will carry us. There are a great many really good people who fear to become open displeasing of the Christ and unite with His church because they fear that they will not be able to hold out, as they say. Their ideal of the Christian life is so lofty that they fear they shall not be able to continue in well-doing to the end—so they stand aloft. Then, there are a great many Christians in the churches who are fearful all the time—fearful as to the issue of their life, and many are especially afraid of death. They have a horror of it; they are afraid that it will come to them in an hour when they may not be ready for it; they are afraid that it may bring a pain that they may not be able to endure—and so they are full of terror. And then there are Christian men and women, and young men and women everywhere, who are asking, "Is this Christianity able to carry us through this life?" Is it strong enough to carry us up the steep sides of the mountains of difficulty we meet in life? Is it strong enough to carry us safely through the valleys, where there are blissing serpents, and where the volled vampires have their homes, and where crouching beasts of temptation are ever ready to spring upon us in an unguarded moment. Is this love of Christ able to carry us all the way through? On the high seas of life, in the stresses of all weather, when the billows roll and dash against our frail bark—is there a pilot able to guide the ship through the mighty seas? Oh, look at what God has done first! He has promised to provision us. "Look at the eleventh verse of the eighty-four Psalm: 'For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield; Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.' That is actually in the Bible. I sometimes think that we treat the Bible as if it were a huge joke—that these words do not mean what they actually say. Listen to them again: "No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly." And these words are confirmed by our Master's own teaching, Second: He has promised to protect us. "I will lift up mine eyes into the mountains." Well, that may not be a wise thing to do. Is it wise to look at our difficulties? Is that what it means? But the Psalmist is not done: "From whence shall my help come? No wonder, when you are looking at the mountains of difficulty, that you should say that. Now listen. "My help cometh from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth." Is that not good enough? No wonder Paul said: "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?" III. From what depth will it rescue us? The depth indicates the distance that love reaches. It goes down to the deepest forms of sin. It reaches to the greatest sinner. Wherefore, also, He is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through Him, seeing that He ever liveth to make intercession for them. I shall never forget hearing one of the foremost Africans in a powerful speech in the City of Washington, D. G. He was pleading for patience. He pleaded with the people to give his race a chance and time, and he said: "Oh, think of the depths—of the depths of impotence and superstition and poverty out of which and up from which my race must come!" Ah, yes! But we were in lower depths still. Down beneath the black man, wearing shackles ourselves had forged about our feet and hands—the shackles of sin. It is up out of these depths our God must lift us. IV. The height unto which He lifts us. For this Love is not only broad as our needs, continuous as our pilgrimage, reaches down to the depths where we are, but it also lifts up to the highest altitudes of the Divine Life. The way to measure is to begin at the cross and the foul ahress of evil and go up to the throne. This wondrous Love lifts up from the lowest degradation and sin to the glory of Sonship in the Courts of heaven. How high will it lift us? O, God, Thou knowest. Well, after we add all our powers together and seek to apprehend the love-of Christ in its length and breadth and depth and height, the superlative glory is all beyond us! It passeth knowledge. Even when we are filled unto all the fullness of God, the overflowing is infinite! Let us soon see to it that we use our individual power to its utmost. Let us see to it that every capacity is halowed. Let us open the innermost chamber and let in the King, and by the ministry of His love toward us these bigger perceptions may become ours. His Duty Became Clear. A group of twenty-five Christian men, had considered for an hour the question of personal evangelism. More than half of them had prayerfully agreed to try to form the habit of conversation about Christ. As the meeting broke up, a well-known business man, seventy years of age, came to the leader, and with deep emotion, said: "There is a retired army officer living near me, for whom I have had deep concern for a long time. His daughter, a Christian woman, has often talked with me about him. My duty has now become clear. I am going to seek him out and try and win him for Christ." There are thousands of men, old and young men, who are waiting for the kindly conversation of a neighbor or friend to attract them to personal attachment to Christ—Ram's Horn. There never was so many total abstainers, in our country, and in the world, as there are to-day. You Look Prematurely Old Suffered Two Years—Relieved in Three Months C.B. FIZER. M. R. G. B.

Simser; Grant, Ontario, Can. writes: "I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact, felt badly nearly all this time. "This summer I got so very busy that I could tip Perums. I wrote to you and began at once to take Perums and Manilin. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made different women of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna. "It is the business of kitchens to remove from kitchen all unnecessary items. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kitchens service at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. Embroidered Pique Coats Embroidered plique coats are much worn by little children, and if you buy a good plique with a rather fine cord it will launder and wear very well. One charming little coat that I saw recently had a wide shoulder cape with an embroidered scallop on the edge, and with several rows of large round dots worked above it. The turnover dollar and cuffs were embroidered in the same manner. The best way to make the dots is to work them in the over and overslitch from side to side, and then, using the same stitch, work them from top to bottom. This pads them thoroughly, and makes them stand out most effectively. At the Fortune Teller's. Sorceress—He will wed you, miss, but beware of a woman with yellow hair. Heien—Gracious!

The residents of Baimbridge, Ohio, are much excited over a remarkable landslide which has taken place on the south side of that village during the last few days, for sections of the hill continue to slide away at interyals. The slide is on what is known as Higgsin hill, where a stone quarry has been operated for many years. The hill was over-forty feet high, and a great deal of valuable rock had been removed from it during the last few years, but the greater part of the broken stone and earth has been dumped on the hillside. The recent wet weather caused this to loosen and a portion of the hill commenced to slide on Thursday night and has been going down ever since. A mud roadway, which was used by teams to bring down the stone, was entirely obliterated, but the remarkable part of the slide is that an old stone well which was on the top of the hill slide down the embankment for a distance of twenty-two feet and was not destroyed. The well, which is sixteen feet deep, has always had from twelve to fifteen feet of water in it, and there is an old windlass on the top. As has been stated, that well slid down the side of the hill, windlass, stone and water, and it did not even cause turbidness of the water. The windlass, which is nearly worn out, appears as good today as it was before the well moved.—Chillicothe News-Advertiser. 'Trick of Vinyardists. Vine growers in France market fresh outdoor grapes all winter by a new and curious method. Bunches of grapes when ripe are cut so that a piece of the vine fry or six inches long remains attached. A large number of white-necked bottles filled with water are placed in horizontal rows in racks in a cellar, and the stem of the grapes is placed in the mouth of the bottle, while the grapes hang outside. The grapes do not touch the water, but are supplied with water through the stem. The low uniform temperature of the cellar is favorable to the preservation of the fruit and water is supplied daily to the bottles to make up for the evaporation.—Country Life in America. OOD FORM OF TREE GRAFTING How Mexicans Have Secured Curious Effects in Wood Coloring. Some owners of forests of valuable woods are trying experiments in the southern part of Mexico with the walnut trees. It is not generally known outside the trade that there are many kinds of walnut woods and that only part of them have so far been considered valuable from a commercial point of view. Now the scheme is to make these less valuable or worthless walnuts commercially valuable. And the process is a curious one. It consists of opening the roots of the trees and inserting one or more nuts, which are quite small, from the best varieties of walnut trees. It is said that these nuts, which are carefully sealed in with wax or a stiff, waterproof stopper, impart a new or closer grain and coloring to the tree. The southern Indians of Mexico have for centuries been in the habit of securing curious effects in coloring on fine woods by inserting in the above manner nuts of other trees into the roots of the living tree. An enterprising panter in Tabasco has been following out this Indian idea with curious results. He mentioned this to other haciendados, and now several of them are experimenting with the coarser kinds of walnut trees with encouraging results.—Pacific Fruit World. Nesselrode Pudding. This is an extra troublesome putting to make, but is very delicious. Line the bottom of an ice-cream mold with this slices of sponge cake that have been soaked in sherry wine; put a layer of all sorts of candied and preserved fruits on this, cut up very fine; then more cake, and so on until the mold is nearly full. Make a custard of a quart of milk, sugar to taste and six egg yolks, with a cake of grated chocolate; add two tablespoons, dissolved gelatin boiling hot, strain and let cool; pour this over the cake and fruit in the mold, seal carefully and pack in ice. When turned out it makes a beautiful dish. Serves with whipped cream sweetened and flavored to taste. What the Woman Thought They were talking about the new star in society.

In his hand he bore a heavy traveling bag and, without noticing the porter’s presence, he made his way across the dusty street to the “Parlor Saloon.” A heavy Mexican stlrred in ‘his sleep on a bench by the doorway ashe entered, and the barkeep mopped the files and stale beer from tho counter. Young Ellis walked to the sini, and, setting his valise in the cor- mer, turned the faucet. No water came and he walked indifferently to the front of the saloon. A time card post- ed over 2 slot-mahine offered she tn- formation that the trata south left in three hours. The young man, nervous from dissipation, stood absently fum- ding his last silver dlar in his pocket. A sharp eyed man, matless, entered trom the rear, and, crlting a glance at the well dressed strB8er, stepped be- hind one of the gax!ng tables, and, re- moving the fade¢oover, began toying with the stack?! chips ‘with felgned almlessness.

Ellis placed half his chips on the black. “Black wins.” He left his stake on the black and scattered his winnings over the lower end of the board. ‘ “Thirty-two.” ‘The croupler gathered in the chips here and there and stacked the win- nings on the lucky number. The bal} was flying over the wheel like some On, es \ a Ve a) ty i/ i caged thing when the youth moved the stack to thirty-five. He won. He played the black; he played the ends, two for one. His winnings grew at every play.

You are lucky.” Ellis raised bis eyes at the gam- Dler’s voice and was about to make re- ply when, glancing through the open window again, he saw the young girl. She was just outside, walking slowly, her great blue eyes alight with maid- enly Innocence, her Nps parted lightly na song of happiness. Again that feeling of degradation, of longing for something high and ennobling, of re- gret, of anguish, of determination, “Pippa Passes,” he sald reverently. “How's that,” sald the + gambler, cocking one ear over the table and shifting his clgar into the corner of his mouth. “Cash them,” sald Ellis, shoving the chips across the table with open hands, Regretful that the young man did not again play the red or the black or some number that stood clearly outlined in their fevered im- aginations, the crowd, ehuffied slow- ly aside, still hopeful that a word from him would procure the drink they craved, or that he would drop a coin that might be placed on the num- ber they had chosen. “Nanita,” called the angry voice of dandy, “Coie on, give me the two dollars.” But she was pushing through the crowd toward Ellis and the stack of bright silver he was slowly pocket- Ing. She was at his elbow when he turned, “I brought you luck,’ she sald. “Come, let's have a drink.” With a feeling of deep disgust, he was about to press a coin Into her palm, when something in her appear- ance arrested him. With a heavy hand he turned her face jnto his, and she looked wildly into his eyes. “You!" she gasped. S Trembling with agitation, he drew-| her out through the door. The voice of her Mexican lover, high in impreca- tion floated after them, as, not know- ing how, her new friend supported the shrinking girl to a bench. - “Prudence! Prudence! Can it be you?” They sat in silence, the girl dry- eyed urd rebellious. . “Prudence,” he sald, when he was able to speak, “did you sea that little old-fashioned girl pass the window?” “T hate her, I hate her!” cried the fallen girl. ‘ “She reminded mq strangely of you Prudence, when we ‘were children to- gether, back there on the old Che pang.

LUXURIES FOR THE VERY YOUNG In the Modern Milllonalre Household the Schoolgirl 1s Pampered. An interesting picture of a young ‘git’ Ife in the palaces of the very | rich Is offered by Emily Harrington in her article, “Housekeeping on Halt.a- ‘Million a Year,” in Everybody's. She says: : “The luxuries to which these chil- dren, particularly the young girl's, are early accustomed. are, it scems to an outsider, of dudlous advantage. The 1fyearold daughter of such a home remarked one day, ‘I was look- ing for a brooch thet I missed dnd found nine that I had forgotten all about.’ Every one of these brooches was studded with gems. This girl's private suite of rooms were luxurious, although the appointments were ap- propriate to her age, Her sitting room was furnished In white enamel, covered with roses and morning glo- nies. Her fireplace ender and fire- dogs were of silver as well as the fro frons and the stand. When she chose to take a meal In her own apartments she indulged her tanguor oa a bro- caded couch, propped up with em- broldered pillows, and as her youth- ful appetite was unimpaired, a servant was detailed to take each course to her as it was served In the dining room. And yet she is still only a schoolgirl, with no part in her moth- er’s ceaseless round of entertainment; her days still innocent of the delight~ ful complexities, personal and social, that are ready to enmesh her as soon as, four years later, ‘she becomes a debutante.” 7 | SPONGE CAKE WAS ALL RIGHT. So Constructed as to Live Up to Its Name, The secretary of, agriculture, James Wilson, had been talking about his tea tablets, a boon to travelers, for ‘one of these tablets, no bigger than a cough lozenge, suffices, in combination with boiling water, to make a pint of excellent tea. “I hope,” sald Secretary Wilson, “that I shall never have to apologize for these tea tablets as I once heard @ cook apologize for her sponge cake. “I was taking tea with some friends one afternoon in Washington when a large and beautiful sponge cake was brought in. “Ab, a sponge cake!” our hostess cried, and she broke it In generous portion and we all helped ourselves, “But, alas, it was not good sponge cake, The hostess, angered, sent for the cook. “‘T thought, Jane,’ she sald bitter- ly, ‘that you prided yourself on your sponge cake’ ““T do, ma’am, Jane replied. “‘And you call this sponge cake?’ the mistress went on. ‘Why, it is as hard and tough as can be.’ “Yes, ma'am,’ sald Jane, tranquilly. “That 1s how sponge is before it it's wet.
