PATIENT IN QUARANTINE President Irions of State Board of Health Says There is no Fears of an Epidemic—First Case One case of yellow fever was reported at the Mississippi river quarantine station, 97 miles below New Orleans, Sunday. This is the first case of yellow fever reported in Louisiana this year by the state board of health. The patient is a Cuban sailor, who arrived at quarantine on June 18 on the steamer Holstein from Hawaii. His temperature being above normal, he was taken off the steamer and detained for observations: Saturday night during an official visit of inspection of members of the state board of health and the Louisiana legislature to the quarantine station, a consultation of physicians decided the case as yellow fever. The Holstein is still detained at quarantine, having been disinfected after the sailor was taken off and ordered to lie at anchor for six days before proceeding to New Orleans. No other cases of elevated temperature have yet appeared on the Holstein. Dr. C. H. Iricn, president of the state board of health, said to the inspecting party that he does not believe that yellow fever is endemic at New Orleans or in Louisiana. He held that developments so far this year, in which no cases of yellow fever have been found by the board in the state except the one brought on the Holstein from Havana, indicates that the disease does not originate locally. He said that so long as present quarantine regulations are maintained in Louisiana he believes there will never be another epidemic of yellow fever in New Orleans. At present five quarantine stations are operated by the state along the Gulf of Mexico coast. The existence of yellow fever at Rio Janeiro and also of two cases of bubonic plague at that port, were reported to the state board by officers of the steamer Sallust, arriving Sunday. The Sallust was disinfected at quarantine both for fever and bubonic plague, although none of the steamer's crew had been allowed ashore at Rio Janeiro. PRESIDENT GOES TO ISTHMUS. Plans a Trip of Inspection Some Time in the Fall. President Roosevelt will visit the Isthmus of Panama to make a personal investigation of the work of construction of the Panama canal. This announcement was made at the white house late Saturday afternoon by Secretary Loch, after a conference with the president. The president will leave Washington for Panama the latter part of next October or in the early days of November. He will be absent about three weeks. Beyond the bare decision to make the trip, the president has reached practically no conclusion as to details. HURRAH TIME. IN PANAMA Will Be Gorgeous Celebration of the Fourth on the 1sthmus. A Washington dispatch says: Employees of the 1sthmian canal commission on the canal zone will have a regular old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration in Panama. Special excursions are to run to Panama for the accommodation of persons desiring to attend the exercises. Money has been raised by popular subscription among the canal employees and sent to Washington for fireworks. Governor Magoon and other prominent men in the 1sthmus will make addresses and lend their assistance in making the day a memorable one. CONGRESS NEARING CLOSE. Final Adjournment Stated to Be Had at Close of the Week. A Washington dispatch says: Senator Hale, who, in the absence of Senator Allison, is acting chairman of the senate committee on appropriations, expresses confidence in the final adjournment of the first session of the fifty-ninth congress before the close of the present week. His program will be to urge the consiliration of appropriation bills and conference reports to the exclusion of practically all other matter. There is no measure, unless it be the railroad bill, that can hold congress together. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH, GA. SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1906. PURE FOOD BILL PASSED. House Has Lively Time Over So-Called "Package" Amendment—Fake Booze Also in the Limelight. After an hour spent in the consideration of privileged reports, the house Saturday resumed the consideration of the pure food bill. Everything was smooth sailing until the so-called "package amendment" was reached. Mr. Mann of Illinois, in charge of the bill, offered the committee amendment, heretofore printed, that the time the package was put up must be on the container, together with the weight or measure, on the outside of the package. A dozen members were on their feet immediately after the reading of the amendment. Mr. Sherman of New York offered an amendment in substance striking out the time provision. Mr. Sherman said that under the penalty provided the weight and measure, if stated, must be correctly stated, which, he argued, was very difficult. He said that this was a most serious question, involving, as it did, vast interests, and it should not be hastily considered. Mr. Mann responded to this and other speeches opposing the committee amendment, giving the house another "demonstration" from behind his improvised grocery counter of some of the ways of packers and canners. The Sherman amendment was voted down. Then the friends of "straight" whiskey were routed by the friends of the rectifiers by a vote of 34 to 76, defeating an amendment by Mr. Richardson of Alabama in behalf of the makers of "straight" whiskey. Mr. Sherley of Kentucky in behalf of the rectifiers held the close attention of the house, as he explained the contention of the two whiskey camps, the distillers and the rectifiers. Among other things, he said: "Now what makes the purity of whiskey and how is it made? Whiskey may be made out of corn, rye, barles or various other grains. Its quality depends upon the quality of the grain, the quality of the yeast, the cleanliness of the mash tubs and the proper distillation. There is not one line of the internal revenue law that looks to an inspection of the grain to see whether it is a pure grain or a musty grain; there is not a line to say that when the whiskey is distilled it is properly distilled, so as to get rid of the first run or the last run, or which contains the worst elements in whiskey." The speech of Sherley brought Mr. Stanley of Kentucky into the arena in front of the speaker's wesk to demonstrate how the "blender" makes "blended" whiskey. He said he had no objection to anybody blending two kinds of whiskey, but he did object to making whiskey while you wait. Then, taking a bottle from the table, he poured it into a graduate and said: "Here is a quart of alcohol, 100 proof strong. It will eat the intestines out of a coyote. It will make a howling dervish out of an anchorite. It will make a rabbit spit in a bull-dog's face. It is pure alcohol and under the skill of the rectifier he will put in a little coloring matter and then a little bead oil (illustrating). I drop that in it. Then I get a little essence of bourbon whiskey and there is not a connoisseur in this house who can tell the hellish business from the genuine articles, and that is what I denounce. (Applause.) I say that the coloring matter is not harmful; I say that the caramels are not harmful, but I say that the body stock of the whiskey I made is rank alcohol and when it gets into a man it is pure hell." (Applause.) The vote was then taken on the amendment of Mr. Richardson, and it was defeated. A number of other amendments were offered, but in the main were defeated. The amendment adopted was merely a change in the verbiage. The committee then arose and the bill was passed by a vote of 242 to 17. MUST FINISH UP WORK. Speaker Cannon Dictates as to When Congress Can Adjourn. Congress will stay in session until its work is finished. This is the dictum of Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants, and is being emphasized to counteract any impression that the pure food bill at least might go over until the next session. There is also trouble on the meat inspection bill and the "tie up" on the rate bill indicates delay. The immigration bill is also in conference, as is also several of the appropriation bills. FARMERS WARNED Georgia State Entomologist Returns from Trip of Investigation to the West and Reports to Agricultural Commissioner. Georgia State Entomologist R. L. Smith, who has just returned to Atlanta from an extended trip through the states of Texas and Louisiana, where he investigated the ravages made upon cotton by the boll weevil and the methods employed for its extermination, sounds a note of warning to the cotton planters of Georgia. So certain does it seem that this pest will reach the fields of Georgia, unless some unforeseen barrier presenta itself, that Professor Smith urges that the legislature should make some provision, should the pest appear one hundred miles or more ahead of its natural spread, for destroying cotton over a limited area, reimbursing the planter, in part at least, for the loss. In Louisiana the experiment is being made of exterminating the pest with paris green, the drawback being that it occasions more injury to the cotton than does the boll weevil. Professor Smith has submitted a lengthy and concise report of his investigations to Commissioner of Agriculture Hudson, who is also chairman of the Georgia state board of entomology. BRYAN RECEPTION COMMITTEE. Prominent Men Named to Formulate Plans of Welcome. In pursuance of resolutions adopted at the meetings of the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust League, held on June 11, 1906, William Hoge, the head of the league, announced at New York, Tuesday, the appointment of the following committee on plans and scope of the Bryan-reception: Tom L. Johnson of Ohio, Francis Burton Harrison, Bird S. Coler, Augustus Thomas and Lewis Nixon of New York, Alexander Troup of Connecticut, A. E. Eastman and John H. O'Brien. This committee will invite all the democratic members of congress, the committees of various states, mayors of various democratic cities of the country and editors of democratic newspapers to serve upon a committee, of which Governor Eolk will be chairman. GREAT SCHEME OF LABOR AGENT Seeking Workmen, He Shows Up at Police Court and is Rewarded. A railroad agent who is in Atlanta seeking labor for a company that is grading has hit upon a new plan to get negroes to work. He appeared in the police court to hear the trials of a number of negroes who were charged with vagrancy. Whenever it was proven that a negro was not working anywhere, the agent arose and said: "If your honor, please, I can give that negro a good job. We are willing to pay $1.50 a day for good labor and $1.25 a day for labor not quite so good. It is work on railroad grading." The recorder would turn to the convicted prisoner and ask: "Do you want to accept that job?" If the negro accepted it, he was allowed to go, but if he refused, he would be bound over for vagrancy. SENATE REFUSES ACCEPTANCE. Rate Bill Report Turned Down for a Further Conference. A Washington dispatch says: The senate Tuesday voted not to accept the conference report on the railroad rate bill, and Senators Tillman, Ellins and Cullom were appointed to conduct a further conference. RAWLINGS CASE AGAIN. On Fast Bill of Exceptions It Reaches Georgia Supreme Court. On a fast bill of exceptions, the case of Millard, Leonard and Jesse Rawlings against the state reached the Georgia state supreme court Tuesday. The case comes up on a bill of exceptions to the order of Judge Mitchell, overruling the motion of the Rawlings boys for a new trial on extraordinary grounds. The case has been set for hearing before the supreme court on July 16. A PLEA OF INSANITY To Be Made for Millionaire Thaw Who Killed Architect White Slayer Incarcerated in Tombs. A New York special says: Frank- ly admitting that the killed Stauford White, the famous architect, and pleading in justification of the deed that White had ruined the life of his wife, the beautiful former chorus girl and artists' model, Florence Evelyn Nesbitt, Harry Kendall Thaw or Pittsburg, brother of the countess of Yarmouth, occupies a cell in the Tombs awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of murder. His counsel will offer the defense of insanity and the prisoner will be examined by 'eminent alienists, retained on his behalf and by the district attorney's office. The tragedy, while a shock to the friends of both men, was not altogether a surprise to them. They knew, and have known for several years, that against the architect Thaw had the most bitter feeling. It dated back to the time when he first fell in love with the young woman who is now his wife. He made no secret of this feeling. It had come to the ears of White and his friends had often discussed it with him, some had even warned him to be careful, but declaring that there was no reason for the feeling the architect went about his business as usual. Mr. and Mrs. Thaw lived in Pittsburg and the incident was fast being forgotten until the early part of this spring, when the young couple came to this city and took apartments. The warnings were renewed then on the part of some, but at these the architect laughed. Not since the killing of James Fisk, Jr., by Edward S. Stokes on the staircase of the Grand Central hotel, more than thirty years ago, has the metropolls been shocked by so startling and dramatic a tragedy as that which was enacted in the presence of an audience of one thousand persons in the roof theater of Madison Square Garden, Monday night. Not the least dramatic feature of the tragedy is the fact that Mr. White met his death in the structure which is perhaps the most conspicuous memorial of his architectural genius. Rarely has the case against any prisoner moved with more rapidity than did the proceedings Tuesday which ended in Thaw's formal commitment to the Tombs. Save in this unusual and almost frenzied haste the routine followed and the treatment accorded to Thaw differend in no respect from that meted out to any-prisoner charged with a capital offense. "Stanford White wronged my wife; he is a scoundrel; he ought to be put out of the way." So said Harry K. Thaw at luncheon with a friend down town several weeks ago. His friend, remembering the conversation, repeated it to a reporter early Tuesday morning. "Little Evelyn Nesbitt came to New York, about four years ago," Thaw told his friend. "Her father, a Pittsburg lawyer and vice president of the League of American Wheelmen, had just dled. "Mrs. Nesbitt came on to the city with Evelyn and her little brother, and they all lived at No. 247 West Twenty-second street. Evelyn was an artist's model and posed for photographers. She was a sweet, innocent girl, almost a child, and one of the most beautiful girls that ever lived. Lederer heard of her and gave her a place in the chorus of the 'Wild Rose' at the Casino. "Then Stanford White found her out. Do you know him?" and Thaw looked furious. "Ask any of your friends who know about fast life in this town and they will tell you he was notorious as a seeker out of young girls on the stage. "He became acquainted with Evelyn, took her to after-theater suppers and out in his automobile. You can guess the rest. "He sent her after a while to a school in Madison, N. J., to finish her education. It was on one of her visits home from that school that I first met her." PLACE LOST TO GEORGIA. North Carolinian to FIII Vacancy Caused by Death of Lester. Georgia will not be represented any longer on the committee on rivers and harbors. The Georgia delegation requested Representative Williams, the democratic leader, to ask the speaker to name a Georgian for the vacancy caused in this committee by the death of Representative Lester. Mr. Williams replied that he would be pleased to carry out their wishes, but that he was already pledged to a North Carolina member; Mr. Small. TILLMAN OPPOSES Rate Bill Agreement in Statement Before Senate. "FIXED BY OIL COMBINE" Such Is Charge Made by Wileder of Pitchfork, Who Declares He Won't Face People with "S. O." Brand on His Forehead. A Washington special says: Immediately after the senate met Monday the clerk of the house of representatives announced the action of that body on the railroad rate bill, but it was allowed to lie on the vice president's desk until 2:30 p. m., when it was called up by Senator Tillman. After the conference report was read, Mr. Tillman called attention to the fact that his name was not attached. He presented and defended it at the request of the republican senate conferences, but he said he was opposed to the agreement regarding one amendment, to which he would later move that the senate disagree. He had reference to the McLaurin amendment divorcing the carrying and producing business, which was amended so that it does not apply to pipe lines. The change in this amendment, "in plain English," he said, "meant that Standard Oil had got in its work." The agreement in reference to this amendment, he said, relieved the Standard Oil company from control and regulation by the interstate commission. When the bill was sent to conference the second time, Senator Tillman said he found an entirely different atmosphere from that of the first conference, as the house committee insisted on opening up the whole subject, including all matters on which an agreement had been reached. "Then I began to smell a mouse, or something," he said. "Or something, probably," Mr. Elkins remarked. Continuing, Mr. Tillman said he "became more or less skeptical as to motives, etc., as one is likely to do after service in the senate." He said the change would simply destroy the effect of making the pipe lines common carriers. "There you see the result of this additional deliberation," he added. "The house had us up a tree and insisted upon taking the senate pipeline amendment as it was originally inserted, thus changing the commodity amendment. "By this change the divorcement of transportation from production would be confined to railroads, thus leaving the Standard Oil company from the operation requiring that transportation companies shall not carry articles produced by themselves." So firmly was he convinced of the instrumentality of the Standard Oil company in securing this change, that in his estimation "every senator who voted for the conference would have 'S. O.' branded on his forehead." He did not mean to vote for it because he did not want anybody saying, "You've got 'S. O.' branded on your forehead, Ben Tillman." He considered the independent companies whose interests are supposed to be involved to be myths. Senator Bailey took the position that the change made by the conference committee in the commodity provision would nullify the pipe line position. It was equivalent to making the Standard Oil company the one exception to the requirement that producers shall not transport their own articles. He did not charge the Standard Oil company with a direct effort to influence legislation, but to frighten independent companies, who, it had transpired, sell their oil to the Standard. Uxorcide and Suicide. Sherman Collier, a member of a London, Ky., family, shot and killed his wife and then ended his own life. Domestic differences are said to have caused the tragedy. OIL COMBINE IS LISTED For Prosecution by Government Under Elkins Law. The formal announcement of the purpose of the government to prosecute the Standard Oil company was made public in Washington Friday by Attorney General Moody. It appears from his statement that the proceedings in the first instance will be had under the Elkins law, which prohibits rebates in interstate commerce. The attorney general, however, gives notice that should the investigation justify it, he will bring further action under the Sherman anti-trust law. NO.39. AN UPPER TEN TRAGEDY. Harry Thaw Kills Architect White in Crowded Concert Hall in New York—Woman in the Case. Stanford White, of McKim, Mead & White, a firm of architects, was show Monday night and almost instantly killed by Harry Thaw, a prominent member of the Pittsburg family, during the performance of the musical extravaganza, "Mamselle Champagne," on the roof of the Madison Square Garden, in New York. Mr. White died before an ambulance could be summoned and Thaw was arrested immediately after the shooting. White was accompanied by Mrs. Thaw at the time of the shooting. The Madison Square roof garden which has been closed for several years, was crowded with a fashionable audience. While a comedian was singing a comic song and the garden was echoing with the laughter and applause, a series of shots rang out in the rear of the auditorium and a man in evening dress was seen to fall across a table at which he was sitting with a party of friends. The man who had fired the shots fled, pistol in hand, towards the nearest exit, where he was seized and disarmed by police. Instantly the great audience was thrown into a panic and a wild stampede occurred during which chairs and tables were overturned and men and women fought with desperation to escape from the roof. The man who was shot was quickly identified as Mr. White, but his assailant was not positively known to be Thaw until after he had been taken to the station house. The first intimation of trouble came when, walking in front of his seated victim, the man exclaimed: "You've deserved this. You've ruined my home," and drawing an automatic pistol fired three shots. The first two took effect, but as the thirld was discharged the pistol was struck up by a fireman on duty in the theater, and the bullet went skyward. "I'll stand by you." She was identified as Mrs. Thaw, who before her marriage was Evelyn Nesbitt. The assailant was taken to the West Thirteenth street police station, where he described himself as John Smith, a student of No. 180 Lafayette place, Washington, D. C., but the police, on searching him, found cards and letters addressed to Harry Thaw of Pittsburg, and later his identity was fully established. Evelyn Nesbitt's marriage with Thaw for a time estranged the latter from his family. Thaw handed the policeman who arrested him $10, and asked him to notify Andrew Carnegie that he was in trouble. ICE MEN GET COLD DEAL. Five Members of Trust in Toledo, O., Heavily Fined. In the common pleas court at Toledo, O., Monday, Judge Kinkade imposed the maximum sentence of $5,000 fine and one year imprisonment in the work house on five ice manufacturers found guilty of conspiracy in restraint of trade. The men were indicted for combining to restrain trade, in violation of the Valentine law. Under the pretext that the ice supply was much smaller than in recent years, these dealers combined and advanced the price from 50 to 100 per cent. The sentence is the maximum under the law. If they would escape any part of it, they mut pay back to customers all over-charges and must agree to sell ice at the price prior to forming the combination. FLAMES DESTROY MINING TOWNS Forest Fires in Texas Counties Doing Great Damage.

Flagler has instructed his chief engineer to ascertain a point in Florida from which to construct his road from the east coast to Tampa. It is well known that there has been an activity in railroad circles for some time past regarding the possibility of a road across the state from the east coast to Tampa, and it is thought that Mr. Flagler is interesting himself in the movement.

R. & G. railroad, which has been operating between Ashburn and Sylvester since March 1, has extended its road to Bridgeboro, a point on the Albany Northern 14 miles southwest of Sylvester. The passenger and freight traffic has increased to such an extent that it became necessary to put on a regular freight train. The road is doing a good business and is pushing its line on to the gulf as rapidly as possible. ```markdown ``` Apprentice Slays Foreman. J. M. Stewart, section foreman of the Seaboard, at Bladen, Ga., was shot and instantly killed by Oscar Knight, his apprentice, Saturday night. Knight shot him twice in the back, and when he fell fired seven shots into his body. The body was found in front of Stewart's home Sunday morning. Jealousy of his wife and Stewart is the cause given by Knight, who was committed to Brunswick jail charged with murder by the coroner's jury. Tech Grads in Demand. During the course of twelve hours following the Tech graduating exercises in Atlanta, President Matheson of that institution recelled three letters from manufacturing concerns wishing to place some of the '06 class at munificent salaries. The reputation of the Georgia Tech has spread over the entire country, and none of its graduates experience trouble in securing lucrative positions upon graduation. Court Cuts Out Oral Argument. After having disposed of 666 cases of the 1,146 cases on the docket since the October term, 1905, leaving 480 cases undisposed of, and being now engaged in reviewing judgments of 145 superior courts and 57/city courts, which number will be increased by the addition of fast bills of exceptions in criminal and civil cases, the state supreme court has been compelled to order that oral argument in remaining cases be dispensed with when practicable.

Owing to the fact that the postoffice receipts of the Atlanta postoffice for the past salary year exceeded the sum of $600,000, Postmaster Blodgett has received a boost in pay of $1,000 a year. This increase in salary for the head of the department, making a total of $6,000 a year, means that the Atlanta postoffice now ranks with the best-in the country, the salary being exceeded by that of just one office—New York, Avalanche of Wreck Suis. A total of wreck suits against the Atlanta and West Point and the Central of Georgia, as a result of the recent wreck in Atlanta to a picnic train returning from Pearl Springs, were filed a few days ago amounting to $165,000. This amount is larger, probably, than any other one day's total against the two roads for the recent wreck. The total amount that the two roads combined will have to pay, if they pay all that has been asked of them up to date, on the recent Pearl Springs wreck, will be $711,000. Farmers to Gather on Fourth. The farmers' institute for the 12th senatorial district—Quitman, Stewart and Webster counties—will be held at Lumpkin on July 3 and 4, Hon Harvie Jordan in charge. A number of prominent speakers and experts will be present. On July 4, the Stewart county branch of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association and the Clement A.

George Foster Peabody, that true friend of the agricultural interests of the state, in an address made to the alumni, stated that from the farm the state must in the future get its strongest and best men and women, and that every movement for the development of agricultural education in this state means better citizens and more prosperity in the future. Backing up his words by his interest and money, he has given to the university an additional 350 acres of land, in order that the university may have the very best campus in the south, it now comprising 900 acres. Hayoc Wrought by Hall. The hail storm a few days ago in Clarke and Oconee counties was heavier than was at first reported. In Oconee county the hail fell to the depth of 14 inches on a level, and even the pine needles on the trees were stripped and piled on the ground several inches deep. In the upper edge of Clarke county the loss was heavy. In Clarke the storm was about a mile wide and seven miles long. In Oconee it was two miles wide and ten miles long. The corn and cotton crops in the path of the storm were totally destroyed. HOME OFFICE. WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Phone 1198. Ga. Phone 2029. Directors. L. E. Williams. P. Edward Perry.

Lawlessness Alarms Citizens. Mayor J. L. Allen and other prominent citizens of Chipley appeared before Judge William A. Little, in Columbus, a few days ago, and urged him to grant a petition signed by thirty or forty citizens of Chipley and Hamilton, asking that a special term of Harris superior court be called for the purpose of trying the persons arrested in connection with the recent double tragedy at Chipley, and also for the purpose of suppressing the lawlessness in the community. The petitioners say that people are carrying arms openly, and that the feeling of apprehension is demoralizing and is injuring the town's business. The petitioners at first applied to Governor Terrell for relief, and he suggested that they cotter with Judge Little in reference to a special term of court. Judge Little reserved his decision.

In the dis tance slept the fair island of Capri. Bat the boys were more Interested fn thelr immediate surroundings than in the dreamy Italian landécape far below and beyond them, Just in front of them yawned the awful crater, Sts sides streaked with sulphur and dimmed by ascending curls of steam. ‘The crust of slag and ash on which they stood was warm ‘to their feet, and here and there were ‘crevices coated with bright yellow sul- phur and giving forth hot fumes of | nauseating ras. “Whew! exclatmed Harry, with a disgusted face. “f can’t stand this Jong! Let's—" He was interrupted by a hollow roar from the volcante depths, like the dis- charge of a ship's broadside. A shower of red hot stones flew upward, to fall back again into the erater, while a cloud of black smoke drifted away against the blue sky. Tho boys had started back, and were a good deal shaken. : “Let's hurry round the thing, and then go down,” sald Dick. “I never thought of its belng so awful, did you?" They cautiously circled the great plt, carefully avolding the steaming cracks io thelr path, and .then paused for a last look. “Wouldn't it be horrible to tumble int” shuddered Dick, as they crept a little nearer the edge and peered down into the black, steamlag depths. , “They say an Engl'shman ‘went down a few years ago,” sald Bob. “He got too near and—Dick! Dick! Come back!” hé screamed, springing backward, with Harry beside him. Dick was a Iittle {a advance of the others. As Crothers spoke, a crack appeared in the slag, and a moment later, just as Dick started to his feet, a section of the edge crumbled down: ward, catrylug the boy with it. His two companions gazed at each other with blanched faces. It was too arfol to be believed, A moment ago there were three of them, talking mgily enough; now—now the:e were buf two! “What—what shall yo do?” gasped the trembling Harry. “0 Bob, e's gone, he’s gone!” At that instant a faint rolce was heard, as if from somewhere far away. “Harry!

The joose ash almost covered his halr, nis bands and’bis feet. “Hold on tight, Dick!” screamed Harry, hatdly knowing what tie sald, “We'll get you out. Hold on for your iter” Dick heard the volce of his friend salling to him, although he could see nothing but the opposite wall of the rater, the ascending steam, and @ piece of blue sky above. He closed nis eyes a8 he bung there within ix inches of a horrible death, and nerved pimself to walt. After a pause the rolce came again: “Bob has gone for help. I must keep yack from the-edge, for fear it will rumble again, Hold on with all your might, old fellow. It will only be a ‘ew minutes!” The air was filled wlth sickening fumes of sulphur, and the hot sun eat down pitllessiy on Dick's white, ipturned face.

The sun was shining: brightly, the air was clear and sweet, but the @istrict across which the path lay iwras so drearily desolate that by de- grees the gay talk and laughter of the boys languished. ‘They had climbed the fount Wash- Sngton bridle-path the year before, but how different were their surroundings now! In place of balsam firs, dancing brooks, mossy slopes bright with crim- son berries cad starry flowers, they looked out over an unbroken stretch vf volcanic rock, dead lava and black dust. “It's Ike a nightmare!” exclaimed Harry, breaking a long silence, during awbich they had been plodding onward and upward. “I'd give something for ‘a drink of New Hampshire spring wa- ter!” “ | “L suppose,” observed Bob, “the moon looks something like this when you get there.

Dick was for continulng on foot, following the trscks of the regular porters up through the knee-deep ashy dust which covers the steep sides of the cone. Crothers, however, advocated taking the car. “It's of no use to Hire ourselves all out,” he sald, “wading through that stuff up a slope like the roof of a house, It’s all right coming down, but if you fellows ever tried to climb a hill with two feet of snow on ft, you kiow how it feels. And {t's hot, too.” Harry elded with Bob, and the three were soon, ceated comfortably in the little car, gilding upwerd along the rails of the funicular. ‘Near the upper terminus of the rall- way there was a cablo, where a oum- ber of zuldes were walling to conduct! tourists to the edge of the crater.

OF all the forms‘of violence sulcide contributes the greatest number to the death roll in Chicago. Previous {o 1804 railway accidents caused more deaths than sulcldes. Throughout the country this still holds. In Chicago duriug the tast ten years there have been 4000 suicides and 2600 Ktlled by railroads. In 1896 the sul- eldes passed the 100 2 year mark and In 1893, only seven years later, bad Inerensed to more than three times that number. Since 1896 they, have averaged more than one a day. ‘As to murders, the éity's bad repu- tation in this respect Is fully sustained by the facts. In 1902 Buffalo and Glevelaid, citles one-fifth the size of Chicago, bad two and eight murders respectivcls. Baltlmore and Boston, cities one-third the size of Chicazo, had ten and twelve, respectively. Phil- adelphia had thirteen; New York, sev- enty-two; Chleago, 104. ‘The table of murders shows that since 1900 they have averaged more than 100 a year, and last year they were double those of 1901. ‘The nurf- ber of murders, therefore, bas doubled in four years and now averages one every second day.

From the potato “house the tubers ae pnt Ia n Lopper In which they pas: down to the large foom below, which 4s the vat room containing in this fac- fory three Sarge vats, each capable of holding several hogsheads. When the potatoes arrive in this room they fand in a long trougli called the masher. Now the process begins in earnest with the thorough cleaning of the potatoes, for the more complete the washing the better the starch. Plenty of good water isa prime requisite In a starch factory. Connected with the washer are several pipes which let in the water: ‘The po- tatoes are pushed along the trough and enter a barrel, where they are more thoroughly shaken up and washed, the barrel rerolving. Emerging from the barrel masher the Potatoes continue thelr journey along the masher trough, being pushed for- ward by a system of revolving wooden ‘paddles which are set on iron shafts. A little elevator now takes the tubere and carries them from the washer up four or five fect, dumplag them on top of a large revoiving fron grater set in a wooden drum. This grater has a briste Jy top similar tp the housewife’s nut- meg grater. Up to thie time the pota- toes have retained their own form and have been subjected merely to a clean- sing process, but after coming into con- tact It Is reduced to a miass of grated pulp. ‘The mass Isonow dropped on to 2 sleve which works backward and for- ward by machinery. ‘The sieve Is of wire woven as firmly as possibfe and it Is here that the starch is taken out from the remainder of the pulp, which will not pass through. Water is con- stantly ruoning on to the sieve and as- aists In the work of weeding out the starch, which fs very fine and will pass almost anywhere that water will. As it passes through the sleve the starch bears a very strong likeness to milk. It now passes on to a bed and‘is conducted through a series of troughs into one of the large vats, the retuse which was left behind at the gate be- ing dumped In the stream which fows beneath the factory. The starchy water can be turned into any of the ‘three large vats at the will of the oper- ators, *henk, to a complete system of gates Jn the trough, In the vats the washing process 1s contioued, the mass being vigorously stirred, by stirrers, which are long wooden planks atteched to the end of fron shafts. Nor is the cscansing com ‘plete even yet, the starch being allowed to settte to the bottom, which it will readily do cwlog to its welght; the water Js pumped ont, fresh water let in and the process repeated. ‘Then the whole 1s pumped Into a vat known as the settling yat, in the room above, ayhere it remains for some time. ‘The mass soon resolves Itself into three strata, a thidk white froth at the top, then several fect of water and lastly at the bottom the desired starch, although as yet in a very moist state. Thete is generally from a foot to fitteen inches of starch in the bottom of the yat, cnd this is arrived at ty pumping out the water above. In order to pre- vent waste the water pumped out is conducted to another srall vat, where the settling process is repeated. The starch is now shorelled by the work- men from the vat into Wheelbarrows and conveyed to the drying house. This isa urge rodm kept by neans of steam radiators at a great heat. ‘There is somewhat over a mile of steam pipes in use here, and the result isa stiding heat that would soon over- come any one not used to it.

Di ¢ rockett. ‘The méeting was indeed interestin, from start to finish. Dr. S. P. Lloyd Baye a very interesting account of hi visit to the Atlanta Conference held a Atlanta University during the commence ment week. Among the many thing which he spoke of, he said all were es pecially interested in the address of Prof jooz of Columbia University, who saic that there were ro fundamental racial dif ferences, Dr. Lloyd said further thati was also very questionable whether o not the mortality rates ainong the Negroe: from twberculosis or ,consumption wa: greater than that among the white; anc that it behooves every intelligent Negrc to assist the phys'cians by collecting wha ‘ever data is obtainable in order to combat these statements and charges if they are untrue. Dr Brockett was then introduced to the audience, and after some preliminary or prefacing remarks In which he stated very’ candidly that he had not daly re ceived an invitation to address the Club and that therefore he had not come with a prepared address, he launched out deeply into the subjects of “Anthropology and.archaeology” by disagreeing with the statement of Prof, Béoz, mentioned above. Dr Brockett, said he wasa firm believer in racial differeaces, and upon no other theory could he believe inythe justness of God ia fashioning one race black,another white that upon no other ground could he account for or justify the existence of the: different rdces of mankind. He spoke at length of the Egyptian history, and said that their ancient ruins and works of art, by their durability and mag nitudinous propositions command the admiration of all the civilized world and go to prove the superior skill, knowledge and power of the Egyptians. He sald that none of the archaelogical expeditions have been able to show that these works, wrought during Nigritic times, were done by the hands of white artisans from which he concludes that they were done by hands of those of darker hue—perhaps Negroes’ hands He denied the tendency of the Negro to ‘accept unguestioningly the history which the white man writes. He daplores the fact that the Negro is some what of nonentity aad passive recipient in the race of nations, He said that he only hope that the ~young Negro would strike out and construct 2 history on his own paral lel t6 that of the white man, and upon which the Négro may proudly stands He only hoped that the Negro race could produce geniuses that would far excell the achleyements of those of the white race. However, the doctor’s address was on the most optimistic order and as_he, him self says tather speculative. The reve rend is bouyant with hope and says he believes that it is preordained that the Negro shall become the foremost of all races of mankind, Perhaps though, it is only necessary to say, that it is indeed pleasant to meditate upon these things, and even pleasanter tobe hopeful. But Lope must be svell founded, It is better tollveig the present; and to alm tobe stealistlc Father than idealistic. On last Sunday the meeting was held at Asbury’Church owlog to the Masonic ex- ‘ercises at the Temple, It was Ladies’ day and the tisual good program was rendered.

The annaal report read by Dz. Brleter evidenced the excellent management of the institution and should enlist the hearty support of all good citizens.

"Do not try to force your children's beliefs. Teach them to think for themselves, and when they come to you, with their theories, agree with the good that is in them. If there is anything that to you seems wrong, explain it away if you can reasonably, if not, let it alone. "Children can no more think exactly as their parents do and still preserve their individuality, than they can resemble them physically in every detail, and forcing is as impossible in one case as in the other."—B. Mc J. Bell, *The Housekeeper*. Revival of Block Work. Old-fashioned block work has been revived for some of the prettiest of the little aprons so many women don at the slightest excuse. Perhaps the apron is made without a ruffle, blocks of a uniform size put on in a simple pattern and stitched neatly. Or the saucy little ruffle which makes so attractive a thing of an apron may be made quite elaborate with blocks; or even the apron proper trimmed with blocks, the ruffle left plain, but made very full. Whichever way it is made, an apron of that sort is as quiet as a bunch of old-fashioned roses, and as dainty. Millinery in the Schools. The Chicago Board of Education has decided to establish a course of millinery in the free evening schools. The course in hatmaking for the benefit of working girls who receive starvation wages will be put to use with the opening of the evening schools at the beginning of the fall term. Every working girl who spends her evenings in the public schoolroom is to be taught how to design, make and trim her own hats. Board officials believe that in this way the working girls who receive $5 and $6 a week will be able not only to gratify their artistic tastes, but also to save the money which they now pay to milliners. The course in millinery will be made a part of the domestic science work, and will be open to all girls enrolled in the public evening high schools. Where Women Lead. In proportion to total weight of body, woman has a heavier brain than man, and would, it is contended, if cultivated to the same extent as man's, produce far better results than his. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that woman's memory is much more retentive than man's, and the world's memory record was recently won by a woman, who remembered the sequence of 133,000 words. Girls are everywhere recognized to be more apt pupils in music, quicker to adapt themselves to new conditions, and better able to face trials of all kinds unfinchingly. Women more easily defect various shades of color than men and they are a trifle better at judging weights and measurements. They also live longer than men, which shows that they are better able to take care of themselves. Dressmakers Should Bisc Deploring the fact that dressmakers have no social position, Mme. B. F. Howard told the members of the Chicago Dressmakers' Club at a meeting that the way to attain the desired end is to study music, art, literature and the drama. Having gained knowledge along these lines, Mme. Howard said, any dressmaker would find that the door of "social equality" is open, and that she could make a better gown after having had a conversation with her "client" on the subject of "problem plays," Grelg and the books of Bernard Shaw. The speaker declared that it is the dressmakers' own fault if they are classed with their customers' cooks. She said a dressmaker is an artist in every sense of the word, and is entitled to the same social distinction accorded to the members of any other profession of like importance to society. How to Wash the Face. "Eureka!" said the girl with the tailow complexion, bursting into her friend's studio. "After devouring beauty talks for years, I have at last found out how to wash my face." "Disgorge that fact at once," laughingly demanded her companion. "I and hundreds of other women with muddy skins just like mine have been waiting long and breathlessly for this precious knowledge. But, joking aside, I've noticed lately that your skin is fresher and brighter." "Well," continued the first girl, "the other day I quizzed my masseuse, and the dear thing, who hasn't a bit of meanness in her make-up, told me all she knew about the skin. Face washing, she said, is quite a performance. First, I pin my hair back from my brow and up from my neck. Then I fill a generous sized basin with hot, not tepid, water, and with some vegetable oil soap and a camel's hair brush I go to work. I dip the brush in the hot water and rub it on the soap, which is not a hard cake, but a jelly in a porcelain jar, and then I actually scrub the skin. I begin gently, using a short rotary movement, and coordinate about one minute and a half. In this time I have covered my entire face, throat and neck, having dipped the brush well rescaped several times in the hot water. Next I draw another basin of water, not quite so hot, and use a Turkish face cloth, or bath glove, and wash my face free from every trace of soap. After this comes the refreshing part of the washing. I deluge and neck in cold water—ice water is none too cold. Hot water and soap free the skin from grease and impurities, and the cold water acts as an astringent, hardening the tissues and closing the pores."—New York Tribune. Why Marriage is Unfashionable. Harper's Bazar contains a notable article by Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman on "The Passing of Matrimony." Mrs. Gilman believes that the present prevalence of bachelor mails and the painful frequency of divorce are both due to the same cause: that the character of our women is changing faster than the character of matrimony. "The women of our time," she says, "are rapidly developing those human powers and faculties, interests and aspirations so long forbidden them. They need for their soul's health full exercise of these powers. Meanwhile, matrimony, as existent, continues to require of the woman not only the love of the wife, the function of the mother, but the trade of domestic service. The modern woman, educated, intelligent, perhaps already experienced in business, resents this demand, and refuses it. Or, being married, and perhaps unconscious of what really alls her, she frets about her work, or in her delinency, and imagines that her unhappiness is due to her husband. Having been taught so long that 'love is enough,' and finding themselves still unstatisfied, they clamor for more love or different love, and frequently jump out of the frying-pan into the fire in search of it. Whereas all the time it was not love at all which they needed—they had enough for all practical purposes; what they lacked was life—human life. A human creature must do human work; and all women are no more to be contented as house-servants and housekeepers than all men would be. We need rearrangement, not in the vital principle of monogamy, which is good, but in the mechanics of the business; in the trades of domestic industry." Kashlons For Bridésmalde Bildesmaids' gowns for the June weddings are almost without exception on the picturesque order, and this season the bildesmaids have a wonderful opportunity to be becoming gowned, as the picturesque models have much that is 'attractive about them. The taffeta skirts and picture hats worn with gowns of lace, volle or net are not a new fashion by any means, but then the number of different coats to choose from is unusual; the Directore coat, the Louis XIV, and the Louis XVI, are, as always, in demand, but there are also this year the fascinating bolero and sleeveless cape coats of plain or flowered taffeta worn with skirts to match, or, as has been said, with the net or lace skirts. Both the princess and the Empire styles are also in fashion, and the latter seems to be steadily gaining in favor.—Harper's Bazar. FASHIONS OF THE DAY If the girdle is right the gown is pretty sure to be. It will be all right to touch your black gown with bright-colored collar and cuffs. Long kid gloves with lace inserts are nice, if you care to pay $15 a pair for your hand coverings. The newest thing in leather purses is shaped like a fan and worn on a long chain around the neck. Melted colors is the most descriptive term to apply to the new plains, in which several soft shades run together imperceptibly. More curious than pretty are some of the new shirt waist sets, wherein each button represents a black cat's head with green eyes. Flat bands are going to be used a lot on skirts, and one of the newest notions is a band of taffeta with a border of little silk balls sewed flat to each edge. Cross stitch embroidery on linen canvas is effective for a summer pillow cover, and because it launders well can be used freely on plaza or in hammock without fear of injury. Coral jewelry is much to the fore. The dark silk shirt waist suit is enlivened by belt buckles and studs of coral, and often the hatpin tops are of coral and a necklace of the same red hue. Rows of pleated ribbon are much in vogue as a hat trimming, and when combined with plumes and chiffon, the effect is not harsh or stiff as might perhaps be the result if the ribbon were used alone. Three wide tucks across the front and around the full sleeve puffs provide the only adornment for a dainty radium waist opening at the back. The front funness is gathered at the shoulders, and the sleeves may be made short or with cuffs reaching to the elbow. THE AUTO SEE-SAW. And Feats of Greater Skill in Motor Compititions. For all who love to see feats of skill and nerve—and who does not*motor-car sports, which are so popular on the Continent, and which promise soon to take rank among the favorite sporting fixtures in Great Britain, offer exceptional opportunities of pleasure. A very difficult feat, which none but the most expert drivers may hope to accomplish, is that of balancing a car on a platform arranged to swing like a see-saw on a pivot at its centre. The car is driven at a fast speed up the side of the platform which slopes to the ground, and the object of the driver is to bring it to a full stop at the point which the car is exactly balanced on the now horizontal platform. An inch beyond this point and the balance is destroyed; the platform tilt in the opposite direction, and the car, impelled by gravity, slides down it. One need not be a motorist to see how wonderful must be the judgment and control to stop a car, travelling at, perhaps, a dozen miles an hour, on the exact centre of this delicately-balanced platform. Another competition which requires almost equal skill, and which causes endless amusement to the onlookers, is the following: "A couple of parallel planks are placed across a stream, and over these narrow planks the competitors essay to drive their cars. As each plank is only just wide enough to take the wheels, it is easy to see that, unless a driver has his car absolutely straight and strikes the exact centre of each track, he must inevitably come to grief; and in many cases this is his fate, much to his discomfiture and to the enjoyment of the spectators. In another competition wooden posts are placed in a straight line in the middle of the track, at intervals equal to the length of the average motor cor, and the competitor's task is to steer a zigzag course between these obstacles without touching or upsetting any of them. In order to accomplish this difficult feat he must continually turn his car within its own length, and at the same time be careful to clear each post in turn with his hind wheels. A more difficult test even than this is the following. At intervals along each side of the track dummy figures are placed, facing each other and at such a distance apart as to allow barely an inch for the car, if accurately steered, to pass. To steer between these parallel rows of dummies, traveling forward, without upsetting any of them, would be a severe test for motorists; but in the competition the driver must proceed backward, thus adding enormously to the difficulty of the feat. It is, perhaps, needless to say that the dummies as a rule have a bad time of it, and that the course is often strewn with fallen bodies. In India some wonderful exhibitions of dexterity are witnessed, in which a driver, while travelling at twenty or thirty miles an hour, will pick up tepgs at the point of his spear or, with slashes of his sword, will cut off Turks' heads. Equally surprising is a feat which is very popular on the Continent, in which the motorist, while travelling at a high rate of speed, hurls a dart into the bulls' eye of a target placed by the side of the track. Among other popular features of these novel sports is climbing and descending steep flights of stairs, a feat requiring considerable nerve and great command of the machine. It may be remembered that some time ago M. Duray, the famous French record breaker, drove his twenty-five horse power Gobron-Brillie car up the steps leading from 'the pole ground at the Crystal Palace, and descended again without mishap.-Tit-Bits. As to lienarrhage. "Do widows or widowers most remarry?" said the reporter. "Widows. Widows decidedly," the minister answered. "And how do you account for than fact?" "I_ account for it on monetary rather than on sentimental grounds. Widows remarry offender than_widowers because they need help more than widowers. They are alone; they may have a child or two; and all the money they can call their own is a life-insurance policy for twelve or fifteen hundred dollars. "So they remarry. They remarry speedily. With much wisdom acquired from their first marital experience, they have no difficulty in persuading some prosperous and steady young man to set them afloat upon a second matrimonial voyage. "Widowers are most apt to remain single if they have children. Eight out of ten of the widowers whom I remarry are childless men."—Philadelphia Bulletin. Worda Seldom Used. A philologist was talking about words. "There are over 225,000 words in the English language," he said, "but we only use a few thousand of them. The extra ones are no use to us. Any man could sit down with a dictionary and write in good English a story that no one in the world would understand. Here, for instance; can you make head or tail of this?" And the philologist patterned off glibly: "I will againbuy the atabal. You are asweeyed. Yet this is no bluset's bobance nor am I a cadden, either. Though the atabal is dern, still will I againbuy it." Then he translated: "I will recover the drum. You are amazed? Yet this is no young girl's boasting nor am I a fool, either. Though the drum is hidden, still will I recover it."-Louisville Courler-Journal. Alfred Lee, author of the old, and well known song, "Champagne Charley," has just died in London. KIND HEARTS UBIQUITOUS THE GENEROUS AND GOOD AT SAN FRANCISCO. Anecdotes in Abundance Showing the Spirit of Sharing One's Goods With One's Neighbor--Human Motives Sound at the Core--The Parrot Who Started the Song "A Hot Time" and Chirked Up a Multitude--The Philosophical Satisfaction That a New Start For an Even Bigger Thing is to Be Enjoyed S SAN FRANOISCO, Cal.-Never again while I live, though it be a million years, shall I doubt the rightness and goodness of human motives and impulses. Not the show motives, mind; not the gild and filigree of uneventful days made up of vacant hours when men and women, out of sheer weariness, trick themselves with the artifice of social facepaint and enamel and pomade, trying to make themselves believe that of such is the kingdom of life. Not these, but the profounder impulses, those the race had at the beginning, the ones with real blood and fibre and bone in them, which now and thee, make the whole wide world thrill with a common understanding and sympathy. People are kind: that's a clutch. Here's this San Francisco case to prove it all over again from the beginning. It has been worth a year of ordinary life to be upon the ground these last two weeks and witness this outpouring o' the world's unstinted generosity, to meet this great need. Oh, these Californiaans! What do you think they are saying now o' San Francisco? "Well, it came high." they say, with a wide, jaunty grin, "but we pulled off the biggest show the world ever saw, now didn't we?" They are taking to themselves all the credit for that awful happening; they are actually glorifying in its stupendousness as a spectacle. Chicago and Boston and Baltimore and Galveston, as disaster-breeders, must now drop back into the second class; Herculaneum and Pompell have been beaten to a standstill; Nineveh and Babylon aren't in it for a minute. Here and there, within the last week, tucked away in obscure corners of the newspapers, you may have read scraps of quotation from the quintet, old-fashioned utterances of a few thin-blooded folk who have been trying to make out that the wreck and ruin came as a special visitation, brought down by the city's wickedness. San Francisco refuse to think that way. The experience has left them "strapped"—sufferers from just about the most acute attack of "broke" that ever I have looked upon—a perfect epidemic of pennilessness. Yet they are referring to the incidents of these days as a blessing! "We are glad it happened!" they say. I have heard this again and again; not from the habitually destitute, but from men whose money loss in the fire was vast. This is the sum of their argument: "When San Francisco was started, nobody dreamed it would ever be a great city. We didn't build for that, at first. We have made a lot of mistakes. Fately we have been wondering how the dickens we were going to get those mistakes corrected. Our streets were too narrow, and they weren't laid out right for convenience or business. There were too many ugly spots; architecture wasn't right; the doubtful part of the population was congested too near the very heart of the city. We had been dubbing along for years with public services that were away shy of our needs. Besides, social life was little on the bum; the rich' were too rich and the poor were too poor. Anybody could see that we needed a shaking up. And now we've had it—heaven be praised! We can start it all over again and do it right this time. It's a pretty fair start, too—we're off in a bunch; now watch us go!" Of course we shall have to grant that the San Francisco disaster was the biggest thing that ever happened. There are the figures to prove it. And it seems as though we must grant the honesty of the people when they say they are rejoicing in their new opportunities. The test of a man's convictions lies in the manner of his actions; and these San Franciscans are making protestations and actions match one another. They are going to make another city; it is already begun; and it will be a wonder. Say for the mood of the people, this disaster would have been the greatest catastrophe in history, so far as catastrophe may be expressed in dollars and cents. Within two weeks' time the people of the nation have raised a relief fund of twenty millions of dollars—a performance also unique. Grant all that. But that is not the heart and soul of the matter, as I have watched it express itself here. The vital part of it lies in the relations of man to man, here on the ground. Society has been startled into letting fall its mask of manners, product of a half century of differentiation. For the time being, during these two weeks, there have been no rich and no poor; the whole artificial scheme has been resolved back to its elements. If a real Socialist knows real Socialism when he sees it, this situation would make him delightful with joy. There has been no fakery about it, either; it has been the real thing. It is too good to last, of course, but while it last it is heart-softening, soul-satisfying. Let me give you some true stories. samples out of the crop of thousands that might be harvested. A parrot started it. The old San Francisco was a city of parrot cages; a census enumeration would have shown their presence in every fourth house; they are a feature of all the refuge camps; next to saving their children, the households seemed to consider these fowl their chiefest responsibility. This particular bird was among the elect. On that dreadful Thursday night, when all San Francisco was feeling before a overflowing hell of fire, he swung upon his perch in a cage set atop a wheelbarrow load of junk, trumpeted by an anxious refugee. All around was fearful anxiety, despair and hysteria. But the parrot kept the nonchalance of his kind—the large, free-and-easy, devil-may-care manner which gets into the bearing of every living creature hereabout. Presently he let slip from the cells of memory a phrase taught him in lighter times. "A hot time!" he screamed. Somebody laughed; then some other body looked it up, setting the words to their jocund melody; and then from the common throat and the common soul it swelled and swelled till it rose as a splendid chorus a full mile across, an anthem of absolute undismay. Most likely the people felt better after that. This I saw with my own spectacles: Out on California street, in the heart of what used to be the abiding place of aristocracy, a spick-and-span old gentleman stood daintily in the midst of one of the worst of the refuse piles, poking with his silver-headed cane amongst the ashes. "This used to be my home," he explained to the crowd of lookers-on. "I had quite a bit of money in a cabinet beside the fireplace in my rooms. I thought I might find a little scrap of coin—a dollar or two, or a half-dollar; even a quarter would look mighty good to me just now. But I don't seem to see it." There was a grimy, ten-year-old boy amongst the spectators. From his jacket pocket he tipped up a tin toy bank, and the bank gave out a cheerful jingle as he shook it over the flagstone pavement. When he had done shaking he held ten pennies and a nickel in his speckled fist. "Here," he said, "you can have this. I don't want it." The old gentleman held out his gloved hand and accepted the coins with a manner of grave decorum. "Thank you," he said. "That will help a lot. Now if you will kindly give me your address—" "Aw!" the youngster retorted. "I ain't got no address. I got jarred loose from it last Wednesday. It's all right; I'll meet up with you some time when I'm broke myself." This, too, I saw: In one of the bystreets well out toward Golden Gate Park a slender, delicately nurtured woman sat upon the curbstone in tears, in her lap a babe of a few months. The babe, too, was crying; the cry of sharp hunger, half pain and half anger--you're heard it. Enter a motherly, middle-aged Irishwoman, wide of beam, wholesome of countenance, and with a robust youngling borne astride her ample hip. These have been no days for the ceremony of contrasted conditions in life, and the big woman paused beside the other. "What's the matter wild ye?" she asked. "This dreadful excitement has been too much for me, the little woman told her, "and I can't feed my baby." At a time, ten days ago, when the question of supplying the needs of the little children was at its gravest point, a lucky father was hurrying through one of the crowded camps to his own family tent, carrying in his hand a bottle of one of the prepared milk foods. Another father esploded and hailed him. "I'll give you a dollar for that," he called. But the first shook his head, and offered to pass on. "Wait a minute!" the bidder urged. "I'll give you five. Well, then, I'll give you ten. Look here, man; I've hunted everywhere for some of that stuff. I've got a baby here that needs it bad." The answer was prompt. "I'll give you half of it, but you couldn't buy it all for a million." Nobody seemed to want it all. I am waiting for my first sight of a disgruntled man, woman or child. For all that anyone is permitted to see in outward(signs the social order has simply been shaken down, reshuted back into its elements. As it was in the beginning, so it is now, ready for a fresh start, and apparently hilariously happy in facing again a wide field full of big, untamed, unbridled opportunities. The other day I happened upon one of the victims of the fire sitting near the site of his old home, his hat pulled over his eyes, loafing and looking down over the miles of ghastly ruin, where in spots the fires still smouldered. The horror was then hardly more than a week old; yet presently this man fetched a deep yawn, stretching his arms abroad. "Gee whiz!" he complained. "I wish something would happen. *This is getting tedious.* Do you get the point? In the transition days everyone was in that state of mind. And now things are going to happen. INSURES AGAINST HAILSTORMS How the Kansas Wheat Grower Protects Himself From Loss. "Hallstorms have destroyed more wheat in Kansas in the last ten years than all the grasshoppers and chinch bugs since the state was organized," said a farmer from southern Kansas whose crop was destroyed by a recent storm in that section. "Last year one hallstorm in the northern part of Sumner county and the southern part of Sedgwick swept an area thirty miles long by two miles wide. About 38,900 acres, most of it in growing wheat that promised to yield twenty-five bushels to the acre, were destroyed. A half million dollars worth of wheat was ruined in that one storm." The hallstorm was never feared by the Kansas farmer until wheat became a staple crop. Corn will recover from a hallstorm and make an average crop, but a light fall of ice at a certain time will ruin a crop of wheat. May and June are the months of hallstorms in Kansas. In France and Spain, where the hallstorms destroy the grape crop, large cannon have been placed on the hills above the vineyards. At the approach of a hallstorm explosives are shot into the cloud, and it's a belief among farmers—laughed at by scientific men—that the storm is sometimes dissipated. The Kansas farmer doesn't bombard the clouds. He has found that it pays better to insure his crops. Hall insurance companies have been organized. The farmer insures his wheat crop against hall just as the man in the city insures his house against fire. He places whatever value on his crop he can afford to pay the premium on. Some farmers occasionally insure so heavily that they would not object to a hallstorm to save the expense of harvesting the crop. The first hall insurance companies were mutual companies, organized among the farmers of a county or a district. It was soon found that those companies were not safe, because a hallstorm usually cleared a whole district. Then each farmer was compelled to bear his own loss, for the mutual company could not pay. Eastern capitalists have formed a number of hall insurance companies in the last five years. Farmers have a belief that hall will follow the same path for three consecutive years. So if a hallstorm destroys a crop they insure heavily for the next two years—Kansas City House In a Maple Tree. A singular maple tree on the left bank of the Oder, in Germany, is at least a century old, and has been twisted and cut into a kind of circular house of two stories. A firm, leafy floor has been formed by causing the brunches to become gradually woven together. Above this is a smaller second floor, similarly formed, and the ends of the branches have been woven into solid, walls, in which eight windows on each story have been cut. --- The horse refuses to go, and his value has advanced. On January 1, 1907, there were 14,864,000 horses in this country. On the first day of 1906 there were 18,718,000. In nine years there has been an increase of 30 per cent. The gain in the number of mules has been great, but not so large. In 1897 there were 2,215,000. This year, notwithstanding the heavy purchases made by the British government during the Boer war, there are 3,400,000. The Earl Of Wemyss, who is eighty-eight years old, solemnly informed the House of Lords that Great Britain had no army and only sixty up-to-date cannon. On the same day, laughingly adds Town Topics, the official news of the surrender of Turkey was announced, and seriously impaired the effect of the eloquent speech of the noble lord, who was requested to take a seat on bench No. 23. THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees With Him About Food. A trained nurse says: "In the practice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients. "It is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for bables or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice or flavoring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish of Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast"for anyone—well or sick." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. In any case of stomach trouble, nervous prostration or brain fag, a 10 days' trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding, and in this way ending the trouble.

Salt is as essential for poultry as for humans or animals, but it is not wise to feed it by itself. The better way is to use it to season the food whenever that can be done. The warm mash in the winter, wh-ther fed morning or night, gives one an opportunity to supply several condiments which could not be so readily given to the fowl in any other way - Indianapolis News. The Butter Fat We Lose. It has been estimated that the losses of butter fat—that are practically unavoidable—by the different methods of skimming the milk of twenty cows during the course of a year amount to $120 by the shallow pan system of setting. $60 by the deep setting system and $15 when the cream is separated by means of a centrifugal separator. These figures are based on a price of twenty cents a pound for butter. New York Witness. Frohen Up the Buildings. It is very important that farmers should keep their buildings well painted. There are several reasons for this, and probably the most important one is that paint enables a building to withstand the ravages of the -weather much better. Then, again, take two farms exactly alike in every way, except the paint on the buildings, and when it comes to a sale the farm with buildings not protected with paint will generally sell at from ten to fifteen per cent. less than the other. Have the Team Matched. A short time ago the writer spent a little time in watching a farmer who was doing some grading. First he plowed up the soil and then distributed it around as he saw fit by means of a scoop. His team was composed of two horses, one much larger than the other, and it was surprising what a lot of trouble and trying of the man's patience this team caused. In an hour's work he must have spent at least fifteen or twenty minutes in fixing the whiffletrees and taking the lines off the top of the hames and other such things. And both the horses were entitled to an unlimited amount of sympathy. Each time the scoop was pushed down in order to be filled and the strain on the traces would come, just so sure would you see the large horse dart ahead and the small one be pulled back, which always resulted in a full stop and a newtug at the traces in order to start the scoop again. How those horses ever managed to keep from having sore shoulders was a mystery, and so for the man keeping his temper—well, the horses, if it were possible to, could speak from experience.—New York Witness. A Large Poultry-House. As a rule, a poultry-house intended to hold fifty or more birds is quite an expensive proposition, for usually it is designed with all manner of fixings which are costly without being particularly useful. The large poultry-house is not generally desirable, and while it costs more to build two smaller ones, it will pay in the long run by reason of a lower mortality among the fowls. S 1 2 W N the ease by which they may be cleaned and the added comfort in the manner of temperature. In response to a request for a house of considerable size the following plan is suggested: Let its dimensions be 10x20 feet, with six and eight-feet posts, front and back, respectively. Cover the roof and sides with tarred paper or shingle the roof if preferred. Have four windows on the south side, one east and one west window. Divide this in two parts with wire netting fastened to boards, which come up eighteen inches from the floor. Arrange a double row of nests six feet from one end of the house and place drop boards on them, so that the eggs may be gathered from the alleyway, which is the six-foot space between the side wall and the nest boxes. At one end of the alleyway place a door so that the eggs may be gathered without entering the house where the fowls are congregated. On top of the nest boxes, or rather above them, the roosts are arranged with a wide board under them to catch the droppings. — Indianapolis News. Fencing With Locust Trees. Within the range of its occurrence the black locust makes our best post timber, for it is very durable, easy to grow, a rapid grower and is ornamental. For these reasons it is being planted on the farms for a future supply of posts, for ornament and for shade; being the only tree that fills the bill so well. Unfortunately, it is so susceptible to the attacks of the locust borer that the Forest Service has wholly excluded it from the desirable species for planting in Nebraska and Dakota, and partially in Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania and West Virginia it is attacked by the leaf miner to such an extent as to render planting ill-advised. For posts they are grown along the avenues and highways, where they answer the triple purpose of post-growing, shade and ornament; also in the pasturés, where it thrives while interfering but little with grass production. Then, too, there are many unillable spots, that are now producing nothing of value, that could make good returns if planted in black locust sprouts and made to grow the post timber for the farm or to sell to the neighbors. For the avenue or highway they should be be set about ten feet apart, and should be as even in size as possible to make a pretty row. One strong point the locust has over other deciduous trees is that its foliage makes but little litter on the lawn or avenue. Then, too, they are ornamental, especially so when in bloom. In the pastures they afford sufficient shade for the stock, and being of much more value than most of the trees used for this purpose they should replace them—Farming. A Practical Ice-House The summer time is the season to prepare for next season's ice crop. The plan here suggested for a small but compile icehouse will be found not only useful but decidedly a reliable guide to builders. The manner of con- 1. 2. 3. 4. struction is as follows: Figure 4 in the illustration shows that part of the wall extending two feet under the ground and is composed of loose stones rammed into a trench. The top of the wall, figure 3, is built one foot high with stone and cement in the usual way. Stones are filled in to the depth of a foot to form the floor of the house, figure 2, and above these is a twelve-inch layer of sawdust trumped down to give a level surface. Figure 5 shows the drain pipe. The smaller diagram shows how the lumber is put together. The boards of common lumber both inside and outside are indicated by A, while X shows the air chamber between. P indicates a layer of paper, and lastly, on the outside, the clapboards are shown at G. The illustration is plain, and will serve as a guide for building in any dimensions desired. On the farm where poultry, milk and fruit are raised an icehouse is a necessity, and if one is near a body of water that freezes, the ice obtained is worth all it costs to haul it and to build a house for it.—Indianapolis News. The Horse's Foot If the horse cannot readily use his foot in a natural way, it is a great hurt to his value. The Horseshoers' Journal says that a large per cent. of all the horses are continually more or less lame. Of this number it is estimated eighty per cent. are lame in the foot. Even if only half this estimate was correct, what a deplorable state of affairs, that could easily be prevented if only common sense was used. Largely, this is the result of habit, because the writer has seen instances where men who have been taught to know something of the physiology of the foot, and the mischief of mutilation from the force of habit, still go on with the old practices of paring, etc. How many horses retrain the shape of the foot in colthood? Very few and for a very short time; not losing this shape solely on account of . shoe, but because the shoe is an improper one, usually, in fact, nearly always, too heavy, the use of the frog entirely destroyed; this consequently wrestling, the sole pared and drying up in consequence; the wall losing its strength to carry the weight through excessive rasping of the whole fabric; of the horn becoming a dry, brittle atrophied mass, instead of being supple, firm at the heels, with perfect bars and an elastic frog, giving a springy motion to the leg in the riding horse of so much value. These evils could always be remedied if we could only get all farriers sufficiently intelligent and humane to leave off the old practice and come into line to carry out improved and natural methods, to use their knowledge to convince the often, "too often," ignorant horseman that "there is more in the horse's hoof than is dreamed of in his philosophy." We trust that, when the higher certificate comes about, it will be the means of progress being made at a rapid rate in farriery, even as it has been in surgery.

Birds Cross no Deep Seas. Frank Chapman, of the New York Museum of Natural History, has been writing about the birds of England, which he finds more numerous but of fewer species than those in this country. Curiously enough, only one of hundreds of varieties is common to both countries. A writer in the London Outlook points out that no birds cross deep, even if narrow, seas. The narrow Madagascar Birds are impassible to birds, though the North Seas are a highway for them. Godwits pass from the Nile to the shores of Norfolk, though neighboring islands in an archipelago may show no common shock. All birds, with the possible exception of the sparrow, are stirred to movement by different causes; wind, weather, food, the bullying of parent and other birds. Birds of prey drive off their young. Martins love familiar eaves; successive ravens have built on the same lodge for a century. The longer passages are only made ever shallow seas that once were land, and when once a journey is made the memory is strong enough to urge a repetition. The change of home then becomes not a fashion but an inherited habit. Disappearing Forests. The National Hardwood Lumber Association at its recent meeting in Memphis adopted a report that presented the dire possibilities of the destruction of the forests in the short period of thirty-five years. It was estimated that there now stood in the United States in the neighborhood of 1,475,000,000 feet of lumber, but that 45,000,000,000 feet of lumber was being cut every year. The report recommended the immediate prohibition of log exports and exemption from taxes of tree plantations. Attention was called to the desirability of State legal enactments along the last line, and some constitutional provision by the general Government of like effect. Mention was made of the custom prevailing in France of requiring a tree to be planted for every tree cut down. —From Daily Consular and Trade Reports. He Knew the Game. A Kenwood man consented the other day to go to the millinery department for the purpose of helping his wife decide on a hat.

Then she put one on after the other and permitted him to view her from in front, each side and from behind.

They object to being subject to the call of their patients at any hour of the twenty-four. The patient is not to be left in the lurch, however. His opportunity to spend his money on medical attendance is not to be curtailed. The German doctor proposes, as a matter of simple justice to themselves, a day of twelve hours. This means night and day shift, and as doctors need rest the same as other human beings, and can do their best work only when they have it, the change proposed seems to be as clearly in the lay interest as in that of the profession—Kansas City Journal. 'Says Samuel Merwin in "Success Magazine:" The President's "muck-rake" speech, in spite of its frank and outspoken plea for honest, merciless exposure of rascals high and rascals low, was at once seized on by the rascals and their newspapers as gleefully as if it were a defense of second-story work and porch climbing.

Wooden Flower of Guatemala. One of the most remarkable botanical curiosities in the world is the wooden flower which is found in the crater of the Volcan del Fuego, or fire volcano, of Guatemala. It resembles a half-blown rose, with four distinct petals, curving gracefully from the point of junction with the stem. The Guatemalan Indians regard the plant with superstitious reverence, and believe that it is indestructible. They have a tradition that when one side of the Volcan del Aqua, or water volcano, burst out in 1841 and let loose a raging flood of angry waters, a shrub of this plant was the only thing that escaped destruction. The Indians believe that the flower can cause or prevent an eruption of the volcano. Strangest Street in the World. The city of Canton possesses the strangest street in the world.

The "telephone voice" must now be added to the long list of penalties paid by the community for the luxuries of civilisation. There is some excuse for the shrill parrot-like tones of the young woman at the exchange, who pipes "Have you finished?" just when a business man is beginning to make himself interesting to a good client, for she is surely tried. There is none, however, for the man or woman who shrinks into the receiver and makes himself or herself perfectly unintelligible to the listener, says the Philadelphia Press. A business man who may be considered an expert on the subject, seeing that he transacts most of his business through the telephone, says that there was no necessity whatever for putting one's mouth near the receiver nor for shouting. "In order to be heard distinctly one should speak in a very low voice. The words should, of course, be distinctly enunciated and the lips used as if one were addressing a dear persons," he said. "The combined receiver and transmitter now in general use should be held at such an angle that the mouthpiece is below the chin. The message should be spoken above and several inches from the mouthpiece and not into it. "In public telephone boxes, where the old-fashioned mouthpiece is used, it is not only unnecessary but dangerous to put the mouth close to the transmitter, which is, as a rule, laden with germs." The "Wrong Box." A portentous discovery has been made in a building used by the British Women's Temperate Association. To everybody's horror, a chocolate box was found which smelt of whiskey. We were not present—which we deeply regret, as it would have provided a new and thrilling sensation—but we gather that the blame was thrown upon the maker, the purchaser remaining exempt. Ladies cannot, as we agreed here and should be agreed everywhere, always ask what chocolate contains. It is the hounden duty of a confectioner, whenever he sells to a lady who looks as though she might belong to the British Women's Temperance Association, to point out gently but firmly, that the chocolate she proposes to buy is not free from alcohol. Freely and fully we absolve the owner of the box in question, but would point out that her fellow members appear to have ignored a rather obvious duty in the circumstances. They should have banded together, with a flag if possible, and paid a visit of denunciation and protest to the wicked confectioner and the still more wicked manufacturer.—St James' Gazette. Cut Out the Ice Water. One way by which people may wisely cut a small slice from their overplump ice bills is to quit drinking ice water. It's as unscientific to cool off the human machinery by flooding one's internals with ice water as it would be to cool off a hot stove by dashing cold water on it. Water fresh from the faucet is a good deal better for a person than water from the ice pitcher. The ice-water habit has done the American people a lot of harm. The slavery of some folks to ice water would be amusing if it wasn't amazing! The consumption of ice water is extravagant, excessive, injurious.-Hartford Times. Gold Ore Ballast. The Eastern Railway of Mexico will be ballasted with gold ore between Texico and Rio Puerto, a distance of 270 miles. This ballast rock is obtained from the gravel bed adjacent to the new line of the road. Repeated assays have shown that the ballast runs upward of $2 in gold to the ton. About 4500 tons of rock are used to the mile, making the value of the gold $9,000 to each mile of road, or $2,430,000 for the 270 miles. The gold values in the rock are not sufficient to make it a mining proposition, but passengers will ride over the most valuable piece of ballasting in the world.—Mexico correspondence San Francisco Chronicle.

PAXYTON CO., Boston, Mass. WINTER Wheat, 60 Bushels per acre. Sentence Imposed on Seven Defendants in Kansas City. TWO SLATED FOR PRISON Swift, Cudahy, Armour and Morris Are Each Assessed $15,000, While Burlington Road Must Also Pay $15,000 In the United States district court at Kansas City Friday, Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oak, Iowa, passed sentence on the seven defendants re- cently convicted in this court of making concessions and accepting and conspiring to accept rebates on shipments. Judgments in the nature of fines were assessed as follows: Swift & Co., $15,000. Cudahy Packing Company, $15,000. The Armour Packing Company, $15,000. Nelson Morris & Co., $15,000. Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Fallway, $15,000. George L. Thomas of New York was fined $6,000 and sentenced to four months in the penitentiary. L. B. Taggart of New York was fined $4,000 and sentenced to three months in the penitentiary. The fine of $15,000 assessed against the Burlington covered all four counts, the aggregate amount of the fines in the seven cases totaling $85,000. Appeals were filed in each case and a stay of execution was granted until June 29, until they could be perfected. The bonds in the case of Thomas and Taggart were fixed at $6,000 each. These two men appeared in court personally, and, upon being sentenced, promptly furnished the required bond. The bonds in the case of the packing companies and the Burlington were fixed at $15,000 each. The sentence was passed in the various cases, after which motions for new trials were made by John C. Cowan of Omaha and Frank Hagerman of Kansas City, for the packers, and by Judge O. M. Spencer of St. Joseph upon behalf of the Burlington railroad and Thomas and Taggart. All these motions were overruled. The indictments on which the various defendants were tried were returned in Kansas City by the grand jury on December 13, 1905. George L. Thomas of New York city, a freight broker, and his chief clerk, L. B. Taggart, whose case was the first to be tried, were convicted of securing rebates from railways on shipments from St. Louis to Kansas City dry goods firms. In this trial several merchants testified to having received various sums of money from mysterious sources. Several thousand dollars were thus received, and several witnesses admitted the likelihood of its having come from Thomas. The penalty provided is a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $10,000, or imprisonment for not more than two years, or both.

PACKING CONCERN SHUTS DOWN One of Cudahy's Biggest Plants Quits Business Indefinitely. The Louisville Packing company, said to be the largest plant owned by the Cudahy Packing company of Chicago, was closed for an Indefinite period Saturday. The plant was established in 1892, employed about 350 men, and had an annual output of 10,000 sheep, 20,000 cattle, and 300,000 hogs. The reasons given for closing down were "newspaper mud-slinging and adverse legislation." BENATE DEPLORES BUTCHERIES Sends Resolution of Sympathy to the Parsecuted Jews in Russia.

Notorious Richard Ivens Hanged in Chicago for Flendish Murder of Richard O. Ivens was hanged in Chicago Friday for the murder of Mrs. Bessie Hollister. The condemned man until he stood under the drop faced death in the same stolid manner in which he has conducted himself since his arrest. When he stepped on the scaffold, however, much of his courage failed him. Just before the cap was drawn over his face he attempted to utter a prayer, but although his lips moved convulsively, his voice could not respond and he was not able to utter a sound. It was evident that he was on the verge of a complete collapse and the aberter hastened the last details as much as possible in order to avoid such a contingency. Just prior to the execution the aged father of Ivens called at the jail and asked to see his son for the last time. His request was refused by the guard, and the father made quite a scene as he tearfully begged to see the young man once more. It was necessary to lead him from the building. An aged woman who made her appearance at about the same time insisted that the condemned man was about to hang unjustly, as her own son had confessed to her that he and not Ivens was the actual criminal. She was detained pending an inquiry into her sanity. The murder occurred on the evening of January 12. Mrs. Bessie Hollister was the wife of Frank C. Hollister, head of the large printing establishment of Hollister Brothers. She was prominent in church and social circles. She left her home the morning of January 12 with the intention of carrying some flowers to the funeral of a friend. She purchased the flowers and performed some errands near her home, but did not appear at the funeral nor was she again seen alive by anyone. On the morning of January 13, Richard Irvens, who lived in the vicinity of the woman's home, told his father that the body of a woman was lying on a pile of refuse in the rear of their barn. The clothing of the victim was torn and disarranged and she had evidently made a desperate fight before being overcome. Around her neck was twisted a slender copper wire and marks of pressure were visible on other parts of the throat. She had evidently been strangled to death after being maltreated in the most vicious manner. The conduct of Ivens aroused the suspicion of the police and he was arrested. Three hours after he confessed the crime. This confession he later repeated at the inquest. He went into the shocking details in a cold-blooded fashion that aroused intense popular indignation. At the trial Ivens denied his guilt and said he had been forced to confess by the police. His defense was an alibit and the claim that he had made the confession under hypnotic suggestion.

KWAKIUTLS OF NORTH AMERICA The Smithsonlan has done much to preserve for the science of the future a great deal that relates to the appearance, language, habits and customs, and mythology of the North American aborigines, but there are private persons who are helping most efficaciously in this useful work. Among them there is scarcely one who deserves more consideration for what he has accomplished and is in process of effecting than Morris K. Jesup. The tribes on the northwest coast studied by Boas and Hunt are apt to be thickset, broad-faced people, rather long-bodied, and sometimes bearded. They are divided up into (1) Tlingits of Southern Alaska, (2) Haidas of Queen Charlotte Islands, (3) Tslmshian of the Nass and Skoena Rivers, (4) Wakashan of Vancouver's Island and the mainland near by, and (5) Salishan of Southern Vancouver's Island and the coast down to Washington and eastward into Idaho and Montana. The Kwattiits fall under group 4, or Wakashan, and belong chiefly between Rivers Inlet and Cape Mudge, B. C. KWAKIUTL WOMAN AND MAN. The Kwakhills are a tribe of light-colored Indians whose faces and expression readily recall those of the lower class Japanese and Koreans across the Pacific. They differ from other coast Indians by having very high-bridged, often hooked, noses, and very long faces. The shape of their heads is artificial. Like our own Flatheads and some tribes in Mexico and South America, they deform the head in infancy, so that the upper forhead, which we consider a sign of intellect, is depressed perhaps in order to obtain an approach to the skull of a beast or bird. The heads of a man and woman of this tribe exhibit the results of early training of the bones of the head. Whether it occasions pain to the child or not, there is a general agreement that it has no effect upon the intelligence of the people to whom it is applied. They are much more intelligent than the passing traveler would imagine. The investigator who comes among them with some knowledge of their beliefs and rites obtains their confidence and finds them, if not remarkable specimens of intelligence, still by no means lacking in wits. In his publications for the Smithsonian and the Museum of Natural History Dr. Boas opens up a very extraordin- ```markdown ``` KWAKIUTL WOMAN. (Full-face.) ary glimpse into their manners and customs. Among these are the pot-latch feasts given by chiefs to uphold their authority, in which they distribute largess in a very mediaeval fashion, consisting of blankets and big copper tokens which have a fictitious but relatively enormous value, the object of the largess being to prove by their princely generosity that they are both richer and more lavish than some rival chief. Another and often very disgusting ceremony is the initiation of a new member into a cannibal society. The novice returns emaculated and in a stats of frantic ecstasy from the woods, bringing pieces of old corpses, skulls, or bones, which he chews in order to strike awe into the hearts of the spectators. He enters the lodge by the hole in the top or some other unexpected way, after the whistles of his fellow-cannibals and his own shrill cries have been heard without for some time, and he indulges in the pleasant pastime of biting people. Such practices readily recall the loathsome messes which have always formed part of the witch and wizard outfit in Europe down to the present century, like the objects that go to make the hell-broth of the witches in "Macbeth." The purpose seems to be the same, namely, to frighten the unsophisticated by showing a daring in the handling of disgusting objects which proves the superiority of the professional and the power of his or her guardian spirits to protect the shaman or medleine man from what would be injurious to the ordinary person. In former times the Indians of the Northwest coast lived in underground houses called klickulle houses, which emerged only like a mound from the surface of the ground, following a fashion that existed in Great Britain and Ireland down to the tenth century, and is known to have obtained in Northern Europe and Siberia. Such dwellings are described by Herodotus and were found in the early part of the present century within what is now Russian territory. The illustration shows one of these old klickulles near Spence's Bridge, British Columbia. The bough, bark and turf covering of the roof has fallen away in places, showing the rafters with cross pieces tied to them. Another picture shows one of the main posts of a house belonging to Bella Coola Indians at Bella Bella, B. C., with demon or toot masks carved on it, and one end of a native boat. Sometimes all the posts within a house are decorated in this substantial fashion. It can hardly be TOTEM Main Post of House Belonging to Bella Coola Indians at Bella Bella, B'.

They have four or five different kinds of boats for different purposes, and their houses are quite as elaborate as those of the oldest inhabitants of Japan, the so-called "nairy" Alnos of the north. Fort Saratova. With the history of old Saratoga, the names of Schuyler and Livingston are closely associated. Fort Saratoga was built in 1600 by Major Peter Philip Schuyler, and around it grew up a small settlement which suffered many vicissitudes during the troublous times of the next hundred years. Lying on the thoroughfare from Canada to New York, this northern valley of the Hudson was always in dispute in the French and Indian War, and in the Revolution until the great battle of Saratoga—the first victory over which the American flag waved, and one of the fifteen decisive battles of the world. The actual battle ground is several miles away from the settlement, and is marked to-day by many stones recording the brave deeds of our American soldiers. The house still stands in which Arnold was confined as prisoner, and from he escaped in time to help turn the tide of battle toward victory.—Four-Track News. A Good Ad.

Because He Was Not Allowed to Sit at Table with Whole Jumps in court at Savannah, Qc., Friday, E. D. Desverney, a negro juror in the case of W. L. Bunting, who was suing the Savannah Electric company in the superior court for $30,000 for personal injuries, raised the color question. He got little satisfaction out of his effort, however, and found that the court would not force eleven white jurors to sit at the table with him. When the dinner hour arrived the jurors retired to their room. The eleven white jurors sat at one table. At another table the bailiff told Desverney to sit. Desverney sulked and wouldn't eat. The court was informed that one of the jurors wouldn't proceed with the consideration of the case. Judge Cann thereupon called the jury in an engaged in a colloquy with Desverney, bringing out that the negro thought that he had been insulted in not being permitted to sit at table with the other jurors. Judge Cann listened to Desverney and thus ruled that he should continue with consideration of the case. LOT OF MONEY WANTED. Cost Government $100,000 to Bring Greene and Gaynor to Trial.
