The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXII. JAP SPIES IN CUBA Inciting Rebellion Against United States is Report. LAWLESSNESS IN ISLAND Claim is Made That They Are Not Only Inciting Uprising in Cuba, But Also in Hawaii and the Philippines. Secretary Taft has received advises from Governor Magoon at Havana, indicating that a more or less unsettled state of affairs exists in certain parts of Cuba and in Santa Glara province some lawless bands are operating and pillaging. Therefore, at the governor's instance, General Bell has ordered a considerable reinforcement of the garrison of American troops in that province. For the first time since the second occupation of the island by the Americans it has become necessary for the troops to undertake themselves the suppression of these desperades instead of leaving the task to the native Cuban rural guard, which, in some quarters, is regarded as an indication of the inability of the Cuban civil authorities to permanently maintain peace on the island. General Bell, in company with General Went, who will succeed him, is now making a tour of the island with special reference to the military necessities in case of further disturbances occurring. The New York World of Wednesday published a dispatch from Havana which states that Governor Magoon is investigating a report that the Japanese are planning an insurrection on February 15th against American rule in Cuba, the Philippines and Hawaii. The investigation. It was stated, was prompted by information received from a Cuban by the name of Pardinas, who, it is alleged, overheard five Japanese, said to be in Cuba, talking of an insurrection, that was planned among the negroes of Cuba simultaneously with insurrections in the Philippines and Hawaii. The presence of the Japanese, the report says, has been noted by the secret police because they are alleged to have been taking photographs and measurements of the fortifications of Havana. A special from El Paso, Texas, says Japanese are flocking to the Rio Grande border attempting to get into the United States. Most of them are said to have been discharged from the Japanese army. Fifty-four were refused admission Tuesday. Later a number were smuggled over at Fort Hancock, Texas, but Wednesday they were captured by immigration officials who are patrolling the entire border. HARLAN FOR STATE LINES. Aged Jurist Against Increase of the Power. of Federal Government. At Washington Wednesday Justice Harlan signalized his golden wedding anniversary by an emphatic declaration against an increase in federal over state power. The venerable jurist said in part: "I served in the civil war as colonel and have been on the bench twenty-nine years the 10th day of this month. I can now say what I have said in many judicial decisions, and such has been the uniform doctrine of our court, that the federal government has no powers except those delegated to it by express grant or by necessary implication from express grants." Will Meet at the Capitol in Atlanta on Wednesday, January 2. The annual state convention of the Georgia division, Southern Cotton Association, will be held in Atlanta in the hall of the house of representatives on Wednesday, January 2, and a full attendance is urged and expected from all sections of the state. ANNA MUST PAY BILLS. Liable for Part of Claim for Jewels Bought by Boni. It was decided by the court in Paris Wednesday that Mme. Gould, formerly Countess de Castellane, is liable for the claim of Mlle. Nanidoff, in the sum of $24,000 for jewels, which were brought by Count Boni, and which, he said, were given to the countess. The delivery of certain jewels by M. Hartig was proved, and Mme. Gould is held liable for half the amount, Count Boni to pay the other half. SHERIFF SHIPP LOSES. Supreme Court of United States Will Investigate Lynching of Negro Johnson in Tennessee. The United States supreme court Monday decided adversely to the defendant in the preliminary question involved in the case of Sheriff Shipp and twenty-six others of Chattanooga, Tenn., charged with contempt of the supreme court in lynching a negro named Johnson after the court had taken compliance of the case. The opinion was handed down by Justice Holmes, who announced that with the prellminaries disposed of, the court would proceed with the prosecution. He did not say when the next step would be taken. Perhaps the most important point raised by the defense was the objection to the court's assumption of jurisdiction in Johnson's case. On this point Justice Holmes said: "Even if the court had no reason to entertain Johnson's appeal, this court, and this court alone, could decide that such was the law. It and it alone necessarily had jurisdiction to decide whether the case was properly beneath it. On that question, at least, it was its duty to permit argument and to take the time required for such consideration as it might need. Until judgment declining jurisdiction should be announced, it had authority from the necessity of the case to take orders to preserve the existing conditions and the subject of the petition, just as the said court was bound to refrain from further proceeding until the same-time. The fact that the petitioner was entitled to argue, his case shows what needs no proof, that the law contemplates the possibilities of a decision either way, and, therefore, might provide for it." He also dealt with the contention that the defendants had purged themselves of contempt by their sworn statement that they had not been participants in the lynching of Johnson, which the court did not accept. "It had been suggested," Justice Holmes proceeded, "that the court is a party and, therefore, leaves the fact to be decided by the defendant. But this is a mere afterthought to explain something not understood. The court is not a party. There is nothing that affects the judges in their own person. Their concern is only that the law should be obeyed and enforced and their interest is no other than that they report in every case. "In this case it is the question of the presence and overt acts. If the presence and the act should be proved there would be little room for a disavowal of Intent. And when the act alleged consists in taking part in murder, it cannot be admitted that a general denial and affidavit should dispose of the case. The outward facts are matters known to many, and they will be ascertained by testimony in the usual way." Justice Holmes also announced at the conclusion of the court that the lynching constitutes a contempt. On that point he said: "The question was touched in argument, whether the act charged constitutes a contempt. We are of the opinion that they do and their character does not depend on a nice inquiry whether, after the order made by this court, the sheriff was to be regarded as ballee of the United States, or still held a prisoner in the name of the state alone. Either way, the order suspended further proceedings by the state against the prisoner and required that it should be forthcoming, to abide the further order of this court. It may be found that what created the mob and led to the crime was the unwillingness of its members to submit to the delay required for the trial of the appeal. From that to the intent to prevent that delay and the hearing of an appeal is a short step. If that step is taken the contempt is proved. These preliminaries settled the case may proceed." No announcement was made as to how further proceedings of the court will be conducted, but it is probable a commissioner will be appointed. FOUR WHITE; TEN BLACK. The Revised List of Victims of Explosion on Steamer. According to the latest news obtainable from places near Gold Dust Landing, Miss., where the steamer W. T. Stovall blew up, the list of dead and missing totals fourteen and the injured include four white men and several negroes. The white dead are: Captain John A. Quackenboss, master; L. Wade Quackenboss, Clerk Joseph Smith, Leval Yerger. The other ten dead and missing include negro deck passengers and roustabouts. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 29. 1906. VIEWS OF COMPERS Do Not Coincide With Those of Solicitor Earle. ON IMMIGRATION 'MATTER Head of Labor Intimates That Decision In South Carolina Case Will Be Tested In the President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, disagrees entirely with the deductions, and is very frank in his opposition to the report of Sollicitor Erle of the department of commerce and labor, on the subject of the violation of the alien contract labor law by the importation of immigrants into South Carolina. The department held that the people of South Carolina in bringing over the Wittkelind immigrants had not violated the law. When seen by a representative of The Atlanta Constitution in Washington Friday and asked whether he or the American Federation of Labor would make a test of the decision in the courts, Mr. Gompers was silent. "The legal advisers, of the department of commerce and labor have construed the law, and their construction will have to stand until the courts reverse it," he said. Continuing, Mr. Gompers declared: "It has been held by the courts and by the department that any promise of employment or promise to an alien that he can secure employment in America is a contract. It seems to me a very convenient construction of the law to say that a state official can do what a private citizen is inhibited from doing." The charge contained in some southern newspapers that Mr. Gompers had raised the question of illegality in connection with these proceedings denied by him. He said some of the boys must have called the department's attention to the matter, and asked that it be investigated. Mr. Gompers was very emphatic in his statement that he had no wish to obstruct immigration to the south, for, he declared, that he would like to see many of the immigrants that crowd into the large cities of the north, diverted to the south, as he was convinced that immigration, properly conducted, would vastly benefit the south. "I would be happy to see the south continue to prosper," he affirmed. The only thing he could suggest to secure southern immigrants was the employment of men at Ellis Island to work on the newcomers upon their disembarking from the immigrant ships. He thought the chief difficulty about inducing immigration to the south was the low wages paid in the southern states. He was very emphatic on this ground, declaring: "I know labor is short in the south, and I personally would like to see it otherwise. The south is a beautiful country, a splendid section to live in, and the prospects there for a man on comfortable living wages are bright. How can you expect to get common laborers at 70 and 80 cents a day, however, when the same class of labor can earn $1.50 per day in the north? Skilled laborers in the south draw higher wages of course. The union is responsible, for that, because it adores to a strict wage scale. The unskilled laborer, though, fares rather badly, and this class of immigrants will be hard to secure for the south. In New York city street sweepers and hod carriers earn $2 a day. This being true, it is perfectly clear that the inducements now offered by the south are not alluring. If sufficient wages were offered, the story would be an entirely different one." In personal appearance Samuel Gempers is a short, thick-set man, with a smooth, round face, much of which is covered by big spectacles. STRIKEBREAKERS IMPORTED. By Southern Pacific to Take Places of Firemen. The New Orleans offices of the Southern Pacific railroad were closed Christmas day; and no official could be found to discuss the strike situation. It is understood, however, that 100 men were brought in from the north. Fifty of them are to be retained in New Orleans and the others to be sent on to Houston to take the places of striking firemen. The farther a man advances the more people there are who begin criticising him. MANY NEW COAL MINES Developed In Piedmont Region of the South During Past Year — Output Estimated at 84,000,000 Tons. Estimating the coal output of the United States in 1906 at about 430,000,000 tons, Mr. Frederick E. Saward of New York, an authority in that field, presents in the current issue of the Manufacturers' Record an estimate of the output in the southern states as follows: States. Tons. West Virginia . . . 41,000,000 Alabama . . . 12,750,000 Kentucky . . . 9,250,000 Tennessee . . . 6,250,000 Maryland . . . 5,350,000 Virginia . . . 4,700,000 Texas . . . 1,350,000 Georgia . . . 400,000 Total . . . 81,050,000 This estimate does not include about 2,000,000 tons of the Arkansas output which would bring the total of the south to nearly 84,000,000 tons. But the figures mark the steady advance in coal production in a section variance in coal production in a section of the country which in that particular has hardly been scratched. The past twelve months, though, have been notable for movements, especially in a wide territory embracing parts of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, designed to bring into the industrial markets vast stores of fuel. Typical of these are the operations centering about Jellico, on the border of Tennessee and Kentucky. Special correspondence from there in the Manufacturers' Record says: "On either side of the Kentucky-Tennessee line some vast coal developments are now under way and an immense coal tonnage is being gotten out. The building of new railroads has brought coal fields in touch with development forces and about 25 new mining operations have been started during the past year. On the Kentucky side in Whitley county the Dird's eye railroad has been constructed seven miles into the coal fields and the building of the Louisville and Nashville extension from Baltimore to Knoxville opened vast coal fields on the Tennessee side. The construction of a 12-miles railroad up the Clear Fork of Cumberland river brought an extensive field in touch with development, several important mines have been opened and shipments have already assumed large proportions. Other openings will be made during the coming year. Another railroad extension is now under construction from southeastern Kentucky to Jellico. This is the Cumberland railroad, which will extend 36 miles through rich coal fields. Ten miles are completed and in operation, and a large force of men is engaged in grading, track laying and boring tunnels for the remaining distance. Five operations have already been started along that line." HAMILTON PAYS PENALTY. Farmer Boy Hanged for Murder of Man, Wife and Three Children. Joda Hamilton was hanged at Houston, Mo., Friday, for the murder of the Parsons family. Hamilton, a 20-year-old farmer boy, on October 12, killed Barney Parsons, a neighboring farmer; Mrs. Parsons and their three small children. Parsons rented a farm near that owned by Hamilton. He sold his crops to Hamilton and started with his family overland for Iowa. Hamilton had become dissatisfied with his bargain and lay in wait in the roadway for Parsons. WORK OF MARYLAND MOB. Negro Who Assaulted White Woman is Swung Up and Riddled. Henry Davis, alias Chambers, a negro, who committed a felonious assault on Mrs. John Reid, of Brownsville, five miles from Annapolis, Md., several days ago, and who had confessed his crime, was taken from the Annapolis jail Friday morning and lynched by a mob of about sixty masked men. He was strung up and his body riddled with bullets. ENTOMBED FIFTEEN DAYS. Miner Hicks is Rescued Alive from Bowels of the Earth. After having been entimbed for fifteen days, Hicks, the miner, was rescued at Bakersfield, Cal., Saturday night by the men who have been digging towards him ever since the cave-in. Hicks was in surprisingly good condition, considering his long conilinement. "God bless you! God bless you!" Hicks cried as he was lifted from the hole. A CLASH OF RAGES Makes Strenuous Christmas Time in Mississippi. Thirteen Negroes and Two White Men the Reported Victims—Troops, Are Ordered to Scan—More Trains A special from Meridian, Miss, says: The two companies of state militia sent to Wabalak Monday night returned to Meridian Tuesday, their presence there apparently being unnecessary. After their arrival at Wabalak no disturbance occurred, although it is believed that three negroes, including George Simpson, one of the principals in the disturbance aboard the Mobile and Ohio train, Sunday, had been lynched just before the arrival of the troops. The citizens of Wabalak, while not admitting the fact, state that the men were captured by a posse, but were "lost in the swamp" while on their way to town. Two sons of Simpson were shot to death Monday afternoon. As near as can be ascertained the casualties resultant from the trouble are as follows: Unknown negro, shot by Conductor Cooper, on the Mobile and Ohio train. Constable O'Brien, killed by precipitator of the trouble, George Simpson, when an attempt at arrest was made. George Simpson, lynched. Tom Simpson, son of George Simpson, shot to death by white citizens near Wahalak. Jim Simpson, another son, shot to death. Two unknown negroes lynched. Conductor Cooper, seriously injured by being cut and stabbed seven times by George Simpson on the passenger train; not fatal. Officers of the companies state that on their arrival at Wahalak no county officials were on hand, to whom they could report, and that during their stay there none of the county officials appeared among the troops. Trouble Breaks Out Afresh. A long distance telephone message from Scoobia, Miss., says that seven persons have been killed in a race clash in that vicinity. Late Christmas night Governor Vardaman received a telegram from J. A. Quarrells, a prominent citizen of Scoobla. Miss., stating that a further uprising had, occurred in which five unknown negroes were killed and that their slayers had been captured, and asking that twenty-five troops be dispatched to that place to help hold the prisoners. Governor Vardaman promptly instructed the colonel commanding at Meridian to ask for a special train over the Mobile and Ohio railroad and to go to the scene as quickly as possible. Scoobla is five miles from Wahalak, the scene of Monday's crash. The best information obtainable confirms the report of rioting and places the killed at six negroes and one white man, with another white man believed to be fatally injured. Later it was stated that the white dead reached four, making a total of ten. COSTLY BLAZE IN ATLANTA. Big Livery Stables, 400 Mules and 100 Horses Are Burned. A disastrous fire occurred early Christmas morning In the stables of Harper Brothers and Ragsdale & Carlisle, at Atlanta, in which 400 mules and 100 horses were burned to death and other valuable property lost. It is believed that a gang of burglars, while blowing open a safe, overturned a lamp and caused the conflagration. The total loss is said to be about $100,000, with insurance of a little over half that amount. A BLOW TO BUCKET SHOPS. Supreme Court of United States Renders Adverse Decision. In deciding the case of Gatewood against the state of North Carolina, in which he was prosecuted for keeping a bucket shop in Durham, the supreme court of the United States, Monday, in effect, held the state law prohibiting the dealing in futures to be not repugnant to the federal constitution. Justice White delivered the opinion of the court, affirming the decision of the supreme court of North Carolina. As the result of the demand of Secretary Tatt for a report of acts connected with the publication that an attack had been made by armed soldiers from Fort Barrancas, Fla., on a trolley car on the line between Pensacola and the fort, in revenge for the enactment of one of their number from the car, Brigadier General Duval commanding the department of the guild at Atlanta, telegraphed a report to the military secretary Saturday. He says he was advised on December 19, by Colonel Stewart, commanding officer at Fort Barrancas, that the trouble between the conductor and corporeal occurred over the latter's fare, which had been paid by one of the soldier's comrades. A quarrel ensued during which a negro porter struck the corporal with brass knuckles. The conductor and the porter drew revolvers and a spimpede followed in the crowded cars. No complaint had been made by the railroad authorities that shots were fired. In a later dispatch Colonel Stewart presented some additional facts. He said that on account of the absence of an enlisted man of the band, an investigation by the adjutant quartermaster on the 19th revealed the fact that there had been trouble on the car between a soldier and a conductor on a car between Pensacola and Barrancas on the night of the 17th. It appears to have been, he says, an ordinary pay day disturbance, and so far as the department is concerned no enlisted man had a revolver on the car and no damage was done. The conductor told the adjutant on the night of the 19th that three shots were fired by parties from ambush on the night of the 17th. The conductor thought the shots were fired by soldiers. Colonel Stewart says he has not established the fact of any firing by enlisted man of his command. A board of officers is now investigating the matter. NEGRO PORTER GOOD SHOT. Killed Two Men of His Color on Central of Georgia Train. Will Senior, a porter on the Central railway passenger train No. 4, saved his crew and the persons aboard from what might have been a serious battle with two negro desperadoes at Juniper Sunday morning, shortly after the trip from Columbus to Macon was begun. John Henry Sparks, colored, was killed outright, and his brother, Curly Sparks, was fatally shot when they assaulted Senior on the ground after the train stopped. They had been giving trouble all the way from Columbus and had threatened to kill Senior and Conductor Joseph Steed. The trouble cam to its climax when the two negroes advanced on the porter with drawn knives. He drew a revolver and emptied every chamber, both assailants dropping to the ground. Senior renewed his journey with the crew and has not been arrested. FAKE "MIRACLE" EXPOSED. Chemical Combination Liquified the Blood of Allied Salent. An interesting experiment was conducted at the People's Palace in Rome, Italy, Saturday, when Signor Glacci gave a visible and comprehensive demonstration of the yearly "miracle" of the liquifying of the blood of St. Gennaro, which is kept in a bottle in the church of St. Gennaro at Naples. Signor Glacci explained and showed that this change was effected by the use of a chemical combination, known to the ancients for the preservation of blood, and that blood treated with it liquifies at a certain temperature. Ambassador Thompson at the City, of Mexico' advises the state department that the American fishing vessel seized off the Yucatan coast near Progresso for poaching, has been released under bond. Georgia Immigration Society Seeks Light on Important Question. The opinion of Sollicitor Earle of the department of commerce and labor, upon the questions submitted to the department by the Georgia immigration Society, has been completed and is now in the hands of Secretary Strauss. The principles involved are similar to the ones upon which an opinion was given by Sollicitor Earle and are proved by Secretary Strauss in the South Carolina Wittetkin Immigran SOL. C.

Six Italians Found Mysteriously Murdered in New Orleans—Crime Laid to Secret Society. Six Italians were found murdered in a tenement house in Dumaine street in New Orleans early Wednesday morning. Some of them had been burned to death, and there is no doubt that the men were victims of the Mafia, which has been working secretly in New Orleans for many years, and has broken out at intervals, when revolting crimes have been committed. Not since the lynching of Itallans by the wholesale, several years ago, has the New Orleans foreign populace been in such a high state of excitement. Following the discovery of the murders, the excitement grew to such bounds that the entire police department was hurried to the tenement house. The police could not cope with the situation and a call was sent for every able-bodied fugian in the department to hurry to the scene. The murders are believed to have been committed during the early part of Tuesday night and had undoubtedly been planned ahead. That no screamis were heard from the murdered men leads to the theory that many men were engaged in the slaughter and that the victims were set upon at a given signal and struck down before any of them could make an outcry. The bodies of the dead men were literally hacked to pieces and those that were burned had evidently been set on fire after being put to death. The murderers are said not to have left a clew to their identity. If they are known the Italians are the only ones who can enlighten the police, and up to this time they have refused to talk. The police are of the opinion that the murders were committed by one of the many secret societies and that the six men who were slain were marked for death by their own countrymen.

Wrinkled, ascetic and grim, With little of faith or whim, And little of sunny and human mold Where the seeds of liking might find a hold— Such was Father, Boniface. The abbot of rich old Allonby Chase, And nigh fourscore years old. From a life spent in the thick Of feud with the heretic, Or in ruling with strong hand small and great Inside or in sight of the abbey gate, He came at last to die. And, meek enough now, in chapel must lie In pomp he used to hate. In heaven they gave him a guide, Who, shining there at his side, Said, "Now to the great ones first shall we seek. And strange, unchurchly clique." The peace on the abbot's face At this was lessened a space, But he said no word, and the angel's tall Led on till they came to a garden wall— The towers of the place were seven, And it lay on the sunset side of heaven Where twilight glories fall. Twas a fair place and a wide, And garnished on every side With riot of bloom, and the birds and the bees Kept tune to the ripple of streams at ease, And many a gurgling shout From the dimpled crew on the grass rang High on the listening breeze. And hard by the open gate The abbot cried aloud, "Wait, I pray thee, O angel, and quickly tell What bright ones are these?" And he said, "Here dwell The souls of the children small Who died in the wreck of their fathers' fall, Too young to know they fell.

If the twins had been within sound of the telephone bell probably they would have guessed the truth. The telephone was a new and unalloyed wonder, and the twins signified their appreciation of it by responding to its every summons and following minutely the audible half of its mystic conversation. However, at the crucial moment Jack was engaged at a distance in impersonating an automobile at full speed, and Phyllis, whose imagination in these co-operative diversions were never required to take such stately flights, had accepted the role of banana vendor, shortly to be bumped, bowled over and completely extinguished by this counterfelt tension of the thoroughfares. A real banana vendor had met with a catastrophe of this sort in their sight the day before. Two moments after the conversation by telephone, which they did not hear, had ceased, they were summoned to the house. "Why must we dress up?" demanded Jack, when he began to realize what was to happen. He felt keenly the encroachment upon the informality of his Saturday afternoon attire. "Mother doesn't like to have her babies look so ragged," replied the parent, strategically. "Why don't you want us to be ragged?" insisted Jack. "You didn't care last Saturday. Father said he never saw my face so dirty," he continued, piling up evidence. "But it really isn't nice to look like frights. After this you will be dressed every Saturday afternoon, just as you are on school days and Sundays." Phyllis had been wrestling with conclusions. "Is some one coming?" she asked. "May I stay to dinner?" "No, darling." And no court of veracity could have decided which question it was the mother answered. Phyllis, however, watched the appearance of her second best dress and experience was more convincing than parental negatives. "I think some one is coming, Jack," she said, calmly. "I think that's why we are dressing up." "Is it Ucle Harry?" inquired Jack, eagerly. "He promised to bring me some marbles." The strategic parent retreated behind the usual defenses. She assumed her prerogative of authority, unquestionable source of decisions and commands. "Mother said," she repeated firmly, "that she does not like to see you looking so ragged. That is the only reason you are dressing up." It sounded masterful. It was really a humiliating capitulation. "Will you hate to see us look this way next Saturday, too?" asked Jack. "Every Saturday," repeated the parent firmly. Jack wore the expression of a philosopher who resigns himself to the inervitable. Phyllis, however, had no regrets. She possessed the feminine adaptability to fuss and feathers. "There," sighed the strategie parent, as the twins creaked out of sight around the bend in the tront stairway. "Now they won't tell Harriet Van Allen the minute she arrives that I was expecting her, and they won't carefully explain that that is the reason they have on their white frocks and best shoes. I am glad they weren't near the 'phone when she called me up." Mrs. Van Allen was one of those disturbing visitors who never found virtue in uncouth and uncombed juvenility. The small Van Allens were always spick and span and less vigorous mothers than thelrs succeeded in emulating this condition, so far as their offspring were concerned only when it was known beforehand that Mrs. Van Allen was coming. Mrs. Van Allen arrived. The twins were introduced. Conversation followed. Unluckily, at that moment the strategic parent was called to the telephone. Unluckily, also, the twins found that instrument less attractive than the visitor. "That is a very handsome gown you have on," began Mrs. Van Allen, by way of making herself agreeable. Phyllis demonstrated the golden quality of silence. "It is her best one," explained Jack. "These are my best shoes, too." "Indeed!" said Mrs. Van Allen. "It must be lovely to have on one's best shoes." "Only," qualified Jack, "a boy likes bare feet better." "We're never going to have bare feet any more," remarked Phyllis at this juncture, steadfastly addressing her brother in spite of the fact that he was already possessed of the information. "We're always going to be dressed up Saturday afternoons." "It's becausemother doesn't like to see us so ragged," explained Jack, politely. "She didn't mind until today, but after this she's going to." "We thought," said Phyllis, in a sudden burst of confidence that included the whole world, "we thought at first it was because some one was coming." Then she was immediately covered with confusion when she noted that the visitor was listening to her attentively. It was at this point that the strategic parent hurried back into the room. "Well, babies," said she, with the benign smile of ignorance, "how are you entertaining Mrs. Van Allen?" "Because," finished Jack, sticking to the former subject of conversation with painful tenacity, "mother used to dress us up on Saturday only when somebody was coming." Having thus creditably acquitted himself of all conversational responsibility he beamed cheerfully upon his mother.—Chicago News. Overcoat of Navy Blankets. Lieut. W. R. Henderson, who arrived last evening from the Orient on the tr: sport Thomas, brought an overcoat made out of two British navy blankets. Henderson is "more than common tall," and would be noticeable without the cream colored sack that he is taking to his home in the East to keep him warm when skating time comes. The coat is quite a startling affair, much affected by British navy officers, but seldom seen in this part of the world.

An absent-minded woman walked into the church, took a front seat and joined in the service vigorously. Then the collection basket was passed to her, and, putting a coin into it, she looked about. She cast glances in every direction, her mind cleared, and an expression of amazement overspread her face. She got up. She hurried down the aisle. She overtook the man with the collection basket. "I'm in the wrong church," she whispered, and, taking out the coin she had put in, she hurried forth.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Reason For It. "Here's a story," said Mrs. Nagget, looking up from her paper, "of a man who begged the judge to send him to jail in place of his wife——" "Ha!" exclaimed Mr. Nagget, "and yet you say we men never sacrifice ourselves for——" "Walt a minute.

A method of getting rid of stumps which has been highly recommended and which, to be effective, should be done as follows: this State. Barley, which is raised in abundance here, will be the chil-ration tried in the preliminary ex-periments; and we will endeavor to ascertain the best supplementa- Bore a hole one or two inches in diameter and about eighteen inches deep into the centre of the stump. Then put into this hole one or two ounces of saltpeter. Fill the hole with water and plug it up. In the spring take out the plug, pour in about one-half gallon of kerosene oil and light it. The stump will smolder away to the very extremities of the roots, leaving nothing but the ashes. Fighting Weeds A writer in the Agricultural Epitomist suggests the following on fighting weeds: 1. Practice rotation. Certain weeds follow certain crops; when the weeds get too strong change crops. 2. Change the method of cultivating. Plow deeper or shallower, or use a different harrow or cultivator. 3. Cultivate frequently with light surface tools. 4. Sow clean seed. 5. Don't let weeds run to seed on the manure pile or anywhere else on the farm. 6. Hogs' and sheep will clean up the weeds on foul fallow land. It is said that a weed will not germinate after a sheep has cropped it. Cattle and Pigs. Give the stables a good coat of whitewash. Put a cupful of strong coffee in the calf's skim milk; it will cure scours. Always put a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda in the milk for the calf or pigs. It is good for them, even though the milk be fresh from the separator. Watch the fences between the pasture and the orchard. The perfume of early apples is very tempting to the cattle. Sow rye for fall and winter pasture. Sow early so as to get as large a growth as possible before winter. In the spring you will have pasture a-month before grass is ready. Four bushels to the acre, drilled in, is about right. Flics are bad on milch cows. They will help reduce the flow of milk. Feed lefavier, or give fresh cornstalks at night. Keep the pig pen clean. Give the pigs pusley weed, as they are very fond of it, and it will do them good. Also sweet apples, but not sour ones. You will find plenty to keep the pigs without any feed. Above all, keep the outbuildings nice and clean, with plenty of air, and you will not be troubled with all kinds of diseases. — Indianapolis News. Try This Next Season. A New London County writer in the Cultivator has a word to say about fertilizing potatoes that may well be preserved for next spring's use. He writes: "The finest looking piece of potatoes I have seen this summer was treated as follows: A piece of sward ground was selected of a fair quality of loam, but from which the grass had completely run out, so that it did not cut a quarter of a ton of hay per acre. It was plewed deep and thoroughly pulverized, and the potatoes planted about six inches deep. No barnyard manure was used, only artificial fertilizer at the rate of about 1500 pounds per acre, half of it applied when the piece was planted, and the remainder at the first hoeing. The piece was comparatively free from weeds, the absence of barnyard manure contributing to that result. The vines were very strong and vigorous, of a dark green but did not cover the ground. The yield was good, though not exceptionally so; about 200 bushels per acre. But they were a fine lot, perfectly smooth and handsome, of good size, and almost no small potatoes. "Another piece, separated from the first by a few rods, and of precisely the same kind of soil, was treated like it in all respects, except that barnyard manure was used instead of artificial fertilizer. The vines were a light green, of rank growth, completely covering the ground more than two feet deep. The yield was not much more than half as great, the potatoes were not so large and smooth, and there were many more small ones." Making Hog Crop Without Corn. Prof. Cottrell, of the Colorado Agricultural College, has begun a series of hog feeding experiments to demonstrate that a country not growing corn can grow and finish hogs profitably. Results will be noted with much interest. Prof. Cottrell says: "I believe there is a great future for the hog feeding industry in this State and I hope to be able through experiments which we will conduct at the college to show the Colorado stock men that hogs can be raised and fattened very successfully on Colorado grown feeds. In the test, which we are about to begin we shall use nothing but feeds produced in this State. Barley, which is raised in abundance here, will be the chief ration tried in the preliminary experiments; and we will endeavor to ascertain the best supplementary feeds to go with it. The Danish bacon hog, which is considered the best in the world, is fed largely on barley, as the producers in that country have found after years of experimenting and considerable outlay of money in testing the different feeds that it is the best for finishing this type of hog. Conditions in Colorado, are ideal for producing the bacon hog and our energies will be devoted very largely along this line. In my experiments at the Kansas experiment station, where I was located for a number of years before coming to Colorado, we were very successful in producing the bacon hog from feeds grown in the dry farming sections and special attention will be given in our work here to feeding with the products of the non-irrigated lands." Thinning an Orchard. A Maine man wrote the Rural New Yorker for advice as to caring for an orchard whose trees had originally been planted too near each other and that had come to "lock horns" or branches, preventing the sun front-finding its way among them. It is interesting to note the various suggestions advanced by the Rural's correspondents who undertook to help the man out. One suggested cutting out every other tree; another every other row each way; still another suggests selecting the rows to be removed and cutting back the overreaching branches, so the trees are bearing fair crops, continuing the work gradually for several years, when the trees may be entirely removed. Edwin Hoyt's plan appeals to the writer as both convenient and full of good sense. His advice to the querist instead of removing the trees-to top them off the last of March. Cut every limb off and thin out many others. Let one or two sprouts grow on each limb cut off. In three years a new young top will be formed, and be in bearing condition, with a lower smaller top to be more easily sprayed and otherwise handled. Fruit will be finer and more easily gathered. After these trees get into good bearing, say four or five years, cut the remainder of these trees left in the same way. In this way renew the tops and keep them down where more easily sprayed and fruit gathered. This plan will be more like topping the trees for grafting, which, as experience has shown, will bring a new top on a regratted tree in four years into full bearing. Try it on one or two trees if you doubt the expediency of this plan." Management of the Dairy Herd. In the first place too much emphasis cannot be laid on the practice of a dairy farmer always, as far as possible, breeding and rearing his own helpers, paying the greatest attention to selecting the calves from the best butter-producing cows. The productiveness of a herd can be greatly improved in a few years by this practice, and there is less risk of introducing disease. To fill up the places of old cows, and those which prove unlucky or unprofitable, young heifers to the number of one-third or one-fourth of the total herd should be available each year. The time at which heifers should bear their first calf depends a good deal upon how they have to be reared, which, needless to say, should be as well done as possible. Everything possible should be done to develop the frame, as it has been proved that the largest animals in any particular breed are the most economical producers of butter. Then, provided heifers have been well reared, they can be put to the bull at a year and nine months. Some breeders like them to come in at a year and nine months, or two years, and then milk them on as long as they will, and let them have a season's spell. Anyway, the aim should be to develop the frame, to give large digestive capacity. Heifers, after their first calf, should always be milked for as long a period as possible, say ten months, even if only stripping, and never allowed to go dry about six months after calving, as they often will if precautions are not taken. This encourages a most valuable habit, that of persistent milking. A cow should never be dry more than six or eight weeks out of the year, but she requires this time to regain strength for the following season. A good cow will often milk up to the time of calving, but if allowed to do so will not produce as good results next year. She must be dried off systematically; first, by milking only once a day, and then once in two days, then say twice a week till perfectly dry. Great care must be taken not to finally turn her out until the udder is perfectly clear, or the loss of a quarter may result.—W. R. Gilbert, in Massachusetts Ploughman. ```markdown ``` THE HAND SEWERS WHO EXECUTE THE MORE DIFFICULT DE SIGNS. MAKING THE FLAGS OF WARSHIPS. BY WALTER L. BRABLEY Through the courtesy of the Commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard and Commander A. Ward, chief equipment officer, the writer was given special opportunities for obtaining pictures showing an interesting and comparatively little-known department in which the flags of our warships are made. The flag room is under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Malloy, officially rated, as master flagmaker, and Miss M. A. Woods, quarter-woman flagmaker. Mr. Malloy favored the writer with all the main details of the flag department, which are outlined in the present narrative. To furnish the many hundreds of naval vessels in commission, ranging from the large flagship and battle-ships and the numerous smaller class, with their regular quota of flags, the government is required to maintain an extensive plant. Few, however, realize the number of flags carried by a warship, nor the cost of all the gay bunting which flutters from mast to mast at holiday time. In addition to fleet communication, necessary during all forms of maneuvers in home waters, the ship must be equipped with an extensive array of flags stored on board for various forms of ceremonial and official occasions. This "dress suit" outfit of bunting, therefore, consists of 250 different flags, the material and making of which costs Uncle Sam just $2500. Each ship is entitled to a THE FLAG OUTFIT FOR THE U THE HAND SEWERS WHO EXECUTE new flag equipment every three years, though a flagship will often require a new set of signals, owing to their constant use and handling, in about a year. A striking idea of the number of flags carried by a single ship may be gleaned from one of the accompanying illustrations, showing a pile fifteen feet long and nearly waist high just finished for the new battleship Connecticut. About one-half of the lot is composed of foreign flags, incased in thick paper bags, with the name of the country stenciled on the bottom. The remainder, including those for ordinary use, signal sets, and the international code, etc., are not wrapped, but merely tied in round bundles. To cut out the varied patterns and complete all these miscellaneous flags, some thirty-flye skilled machine sewers and needle-women and three men are employed. With the bright-colored, fantastic flags of all nations dangling from their machines, the long row of flag makers present a picturesque scene. The long spacious room is literally a blaze of color. Owing to long service, the labor has become highly specialized, and the women are kept at work on the particular flags which they can make the best. Some excel in sewing in the stars, others in finishing certain parts of the flag. Nearly all have been in the establishment for years. Their pay averages from $1.20 to $2 per day. A great deal more time and labor is required to finish certain, of these flags than is generally supposed. For instance, the President's flag requires the longest time of any to make, as it takes one woman a whole month to complete it. The flag consists of a blue ground with the coat of arms of the United States in the centre. The life-sized eagle, with long outstretched wings and other emblems, are all hand-sewed and involve the most patient work. The flag is made in two sizes, ten feet by fourteen feet and three feet by five feet. The silk used on this and other design costs $9 aound. The largest flag made is the United States ensign No. 1, thirty-six feet long by nineteen feet wide, which costs $40. The most difficult, expensive, and likewise consuming the longest time to make, are the foreign flags. This is especially true of the South American and certain others. These, in most cases, average five feet in diam- Pressing the foot on a pedal operates the machine. In all, eight different sizes of stars are used, each having a special idle.—Scientific American.

A representative of the th Wo man’s Home Companion, who spent the greater part of ten days with John D.

When his will was probated, it showed about $13,000,000. Senator Hearst was popularly reported tobe worth, when he died from forty to eighty millions. The facts shwed about seventeen mil- lion and so on. Mr. Rockfeller’s wealth would be more correctly represented by about one quar- ter of the billion which he hae so often been charged with ‘possess- ing, and more than half of this has come of the adyance in many judicious investments long years ago.

Huntingdon and Hall Our latest styles in ball and entertainment cards creates the smil Peculiar Burial Customs. EACH RACE HAS ITS OWN RITES AND CEREMONIES There Are 4G3 Methods of Interment—People That Rejoice When the End Comes—Shohees Buffers Even in Death—King's Body in Silver Canoe. There are 4G3 different ways in which the people of the world bury their dead. Scarcely any two tribes of people in all the world dispose of those who pass away in the same manner. A man can take his choice of the great number of ceremonies. S. Lewis Tillotson, a Baltimore undertaker, has made a study of the burial customs of the world with a view of improving, if possible, the means of disposing of bodies used in most civilized countries and to discover behind the ceremonials and the rites of burial and the methods of disposing of the bodies the odd beliefs of the people. two rows, with their knees together. The night before the funeral the king's own regiment scours the country and brings in captives. These are the graves, and their arms and legs are broken with clubs. Then the king's body is placed upon the knees of the wives, the crippled captives are thrown into the plt, the earth heaved in on the wives, king and captives, and the crowd, singing and dancing, tramples the mound flat. "The Somali bury their dead sitting under stone cairns, the Esquimaux place their deceased in rocky crevasses on hilltops and cover them His discoveries and investigations have shown many strange things, but as yet he has made no recommendations looking toward improvement of present systems. One thing he has found, says the Chicago Tribune, is that every tribe of people in the world except two—the Veddas of India and the Bantus of Africa—shows some mark of reverence to the dead—even those who eat them—and that every one except those same two shows from its treatment of the dead some belief in a future existence. About three-fourths of the people of the world are sorry, or pretend they are sorry, when a death happens among their friends or relatives, and the other four are glad. About four-fifths object to death and the other fifth welcome it. "Among the Karens of Burma there is a close relation between the burial and the wedding ceremonies, and a death is made the occasion of a wholesale courting," said Mr. Tillotson. "The body is placed on a bamboo platform outside the hut and all the young men and girls gather there, singing and laughing. The men seat themselves on one side of the body and the girls on the other and there, as if made happy by the presence of death, they carry on their courtships—and the men select their wives. The Kirghiz-Kazaks are strong in their remembrance of the dead—and here may be food for religious thought for Bible students in their customs. After death the body is hastily buried, arrayed in white clothes, and every day for forty days after the death the mourners visit the tomb. The forty days period apparently is counted for no special reason as yet discovered. "The Shans give the dead a good sendoff, putting money into the mouth to pay passage to the other world. The souls are supposed to go into butterflies that flit away and the body must wait and pay its fare. The coffins are of highly colored tinsel and paper under a gaudy canopy. The wives parade with the body and the eldest son walks ahead with a sword, clearing the evil spirits from the way. The bodies of priests and chiefs are burned." "The Bantu and the Veddas, alone of all tribes, have no ceremonies and appear to care nothing whatever about death. In both tribes the bodies are thrown into the bushes, covered with leaves and brush, and left. "One of the prettiest ceremonies is that of, the Tongans, who mourn for twenty days. The body is washed, oiled and arayed in its best, then laid in a canoe, or cest, together with the favorite implements or ornaments. The relatives live for twenty days. In little huts near the house of moruning—and each day they go singing in a procession to the seashore to get white sand to fill the grave. On the twentieth day they have the final parade, gathering black and white pebbles to strew over the top of the grave in the floor of the hut. "The Turks, too, show a great care and reverence for the bodies of the dead. The body is laid upon the 'couch of comfort' and carried into the courtyard, where the washing and anointing are carried on as a religious ceremony. The body is handled with extreme care; for they believe that roughness will bring a curse. "Perhaps the most elaborate ceremony of all the world is that of the Slamese. The coffin is a gorgeous affair of gilded paper, tinsel, or sometimes of gold and jewels. For three days the body lies in state and then is taken from the house through a special hole cut in the wall. Then the bearers carry the body three times around the house at a rapid rate—so as to puzzle the ghost and make it impossible for him to find the house again. After the ghost is all mixed up as to where it formerly dived the body is carried in state to a barge and rowed slowly to the temple. There the priests wash the face in cocoanut milk and the body is burned. This is the signal for the beginning of festivities, and a regular fair is opened in the temple yards with gambling, dancing, drinking and fireworks. If the relatives are too poor to pay for the whole entertainment the body is cut up and thrown to the birds—and the feast held, just the same. "The funeral of a Wanyoro king is the most fearful orgy in the world. The body is mummified by being roasted over a slow fire. Then, wrapped in cloth, it is carried to a cool pit...in which sit the wives in two rows, with their knees together. The night before the funeral the king's own regiment scours the country and brings in captives. These are brought to the grave, and their arms and legs are broken with clubs. Then the king's body is placed upon the knees of the wives, the crippled captives are thrown into the plt, the earth heaved in on the wives, king and captives, and the crowd, singing and dancing, tramples the mound flat. "The Somali bury their dead sitting under stone cairns, the Esquimaux place their deceased in rocky crevasses on hilltops and cover them with stone, the Tanaala wrap the bodies in matting and throw them into a pit, and the Tibetans expose the bodies to the birds, then collect and save the bones. Yet they all show reverence for the dead. Among the Congo tribes cannibalism is indulged in, but it is a religious feast. The chiefs are buried with all their weapons, currency and utensils, which are dangled or 'killed' so they may go with them. In some of the tribes the slaves are killed and buried with the king, to take care of him. Others roast bodies over slow fires, mummifying them. The Wadaos do no believe in letting a prominent citizen go unattended, so a man slave and a woman are buried with him alive. The woman holds the head and the man goes along to chop wood. The neighbors, the Wanyamwezi, believe that burial pollutes the earth so they establish cemeteries wherein the bodies are thrown. They have fought wars with the Arabs, who wanted to bury the dead in the ground. "The desire of every civilized person—to be burled 'at home'—is shown by the Mumias, who are Nilotic negroes. They first bury the body in the floor of the hut with the head above ground and watch it for months. Then they disinter the bones, wash and polish them, and carry them scores of miles to the old home of the tribe, where they are buried in the sacred ground. This same 'homing' desire is shown by the Sakalava of Madagascar. There the bodies are buried in canoe shaped coffins—possibly so they can cross some Madagascar Styx, and the funerals are accompanied by human sacrifices. A small portion of the body is cut off, placed in the hollow tooth of a crocodile, and the tooth is deposited in the sacred house at Motanga. "The Lulaka bury their dead in the yards of houses with singing and dancing, and months afterdig up the bones, wash them and bury them in the sacred ground. Indians of North America place their dead on platforms above the earth, often killing a favorite horse to carry the dead to the happy hunting grounds. Beads, pipes, food and water are supplied. Some tribes place the skulls in circles on the prairies. Dead Obongos are placed in hollow trees, the hollows being sealed up with mud. Others are buried in the beds of streams, which are turned from their courses until the funeralis over. The Filipinos bury the dead ostentatiously with music and singing and bury the favorite possessions with the body. "Whether for sanitary reasons or not, the Sakai Malays have a habit of burning down the houses in which death occurs. Articles used in life are buried with the body. "A Nlam-Nlam corpse is handsomer than a live Nlam-Nlam. The body is dyed a bright red and decorated with feathers. The men are buried facing the east and the women thrown on the bodies. "Liu-Kiu mourners are extremely faithful. Each family owns a beautiful and imposing white tomb, which is often pawned but always redeemed. The body is placed in this tomb. Two years later there is another funeral, for the family reassembles, washes the bones, places them in a jar and enshrines them with the ancestors. The Nasal never speak ill—or well—of the dead, who are buried in seated position, with the knees under the chin and with a calabash of milk near by. The name of the dead never is uttered again, for it will bring a curse. "The New Guinea natives also are considerate of the dead. After the body is buried, instead of erecting a tomb the wood carver makes the image of a man, which is placed in the yard, so that the spirit may have a place to reside in until his body is ready for it again. If the image is not put up the spirit has to wander. "The Abyssinians make a feast of a funeral, and gifts of food are showered upon the relatives. The Ackawols of Guiana are buried standing, and the American post hole digger is eased the work of the grave diggers. Fijian wives walk cheerfully and happily to the graves of their lords, where they are killed and buried with them." "The ruling passion strong in death is exemplified by the Shoho—a tribe of inveterate beggars—for the dead are buried with their left hands extending above earth, still asking alms. Every good Arab is buried with his face toward Mecca, his sword and girdle and turban beside him. The women only mourn 'and hired females howl for days." The Irish and Ashirl are not related, but both hold wakes. The Ashirl, however bury the dead in sitting position—and keep up the wake for weeks, furnishing food and fire for the corpse. The Balwa have no ceremony whatever and erect no monuments. The Bongo sew the dead in sacks and bury them seated, the women facing south and the men north, and a drinking vessel is placed on the cairn of stone above them. Their neighbors, the Dyur, bury the dead in mounds. The native of Nyasaland is the most comfortable corpse of all. He is buried in a hammock, swung between poles in the grave. A thatch is placed over the body and earth filled in. The Greeks make a festival of a burial, the body being arrayed in costly clothes and propped up in an open coffin with a pillow of earth as it rides in state to the grave. In Cyprus the pillow is filled with lemon leaves. The Arawaks of Guiana wrap the body in a hammock and bury it seated in a palm leaf lined grave, while the mourners scream and cut off their hair. The Land Dyas of Borneo cremate their dead, while the Sca Dyas bury theirs in fine rament. Female mourners do all the mourning and line the graves with rare rugs. The burial places are avoided at all times. Probably the most economical funeral of all is among the Fans, who have no cemeteries. They eat their dead. Out of respect they do not eat their own relatives, but trade them off to some other bereaved family. The question of weight is not considered. The Chins erect headboards on which are carved the most elaborate epitaphs in the world—the entire history of the dead, whose belongings are buried with them. The Hova is given a house over his grave, which is of four square blocks of stone, forming a cellar for the house, and in the house food and furniture and money are kept for his use. The kings are buried in silver candes, and in all cases the horns of cattle are placed on poles over the hut. The Hottentots sprinkle blood over the body, seit it into mats and bury it seated in a hole, facing east. No earth is thrown over the body. The Dutch customs are as odd as any. "Aansprecken," garbed. In black, march through the neighborhood to spread the news. On the doorstep of the house of mourning is placed a pile of straw, and the size of the straw pile indicates the relative importance of the dead. Discretion in the Englue Room. The eminent shipbuilder was explaining the plans and specifications for the new vessel "In addition to being the largest and most formidable 'battleship afloat,' he said, "and the superior of all others, both from an offensive and defensive point of view, having the most powerful armament and being practically invulnerable, it will be the fastest, beyond all comparison. It will be able to steam twenty-eight miles an hour" "But if it is to be so much better than any other," asked one of the members of the committee, "what is the use of devoting so much attention to mere speed?" "Why—cr—it might be necessary some day. You can't tell when one of the other great Powers may build a bigger and heavier battleship."—Chicago Tribune. Fur Wearers Had to Pay. The customs officers were much astonished yesterday at the number of women arriving on the American Liner Merlon, from Liverpool, who were bedecked in costly furs purchased abroad. For these they claimed free entry on the ground that they were wearing apparel. Notwithstanding that it was rather a warm day on the pier, the women stood the discomfort without a murmur. Some were Russian sable boles, others molesklin suits, and still others mink fur hats. The owners could not see that they were liable to duty, though $100 is the limit to which such purchases are exempt.—Philadelphia Record. Widow's Faithful Sons. A rare example of filial faithfulness came to light at yesterday's meeting of the Dunmow Board of Guardians. A widow, aged ninety-two, named Maria Unwin, of Thaxted, was reported to have been maintained voluntarily by her three sons, all of them septuagenarians, one of whom, a working cooper, of Romford, wrote to say that he and his brother were still at work, and intended to contribute toward their mother's maintenance. The board commended the aged sons for the conduct and granted the old dame two shillings and a loaf per week.—London Telegraph. Actor Swallows Diamond Pin. Walter Smith, an actor at the Lyceum Theareaf, while washing his hands to-night put his diamond scarf-pin in his mouth. He sneezed and the pin went down his throat. Smith started to-night for a Philadelphia hospital to have the X-ray locate the pin.—Wilmington (Del.) Dispatch to Philadelphia Record. The Original "Village Blacksmith." The Original, near Rugby, claims that its smithy is the original forge which inspired the famous verses on "The Village Blacksmith." It is a picturesque old place, and the "spreading chestnut tree" still flourishes in front of it SUCCESS NOT ALWAYS THE RESULT OF VIRTUE By WILBUR L. BONNEY. From a perusal and comparison of many current writings on the subject of success, it appears that no definite meaning is conveyed by the term "success." In one article a man who after fifteen years of struggle has established himself in the grocery business is given as an example of success; in another paper a man who has worked up from a messenger boy at $3 per week to foreman at $25 per week is set forth as an example of what may be achieved; in still others it is implied, if not actually expressed, that nothing short of a bank president, railroad official or millionaire can be really considered successful. This is confusing to the young man who wishes to know what the world expects of him, and to what he must aspire in order to hope to enter the golden circle of the "successful." In the advice and interviews kindly lavished by the men who have been successful, with a capital S, it appears that they always claim, explicitly or by implication, that the success is due to their virtues. Now, it is morally certain that many of them owe their success to their immoral qualities, to the fact that they have overcached, browbeaten or ruined competitors, neighbors and even friends. They set themselves upon a pedestal, however, and invite the public to believe that it is their virtues that have been rewarded by an appreciative fate with the crown of wealth or position. These things confuse the uninitiated and discourage those who know that they themselves deserve some measure of success if virtue is to be the criterion. The fact is, the successful, in the ordinary acceptance of the term, usually conceal the essential point in relating their experience. Some fortunate accident, some happy connection, or, perhaps, some act of indirection or unconsidered speculation, was the key, and that point they do not reveal; they would rather have it believed that they did it all by deliberate purpose, and by the exercise of respectable, virtue and superior shrewdness. If you will dig into the biography of almost all wealthy men you will find some such crisis at which they passed from the ranks of wage earners to the class of those to whom success opens wide its portals. In other words, there was some definite transaction which lifted them out of the ranks and made them eligible to higher honors. One instance of this kind happened in this way: A poor and idle, but fairly intelligent, young man was making a precarious living on the outskirts of the real estate business in Minneapolis. His virtues were not conspicuous, and if success were casting about for some one upon whom to work her magic spell she would probably have had to seek this young man at the races or the ball game. He learned through his real estate connection that a large semi-public corporation desired to purchase a forty-acre tract near the city and was about to open negotiations with the owner. The young man went to the records, found "that the owner of the land was a widow living in a small Iowa town, who had not seen her land for over fifteen years. He boarded the train, went to the widow, informed her that he wished to enlarge his farm and would consider taking her forty-acre tract if she would sell cheap. She finally signed a contract agreeing to deed the land to him for $3000. The semi-public corporation two months afterward paid him $40,000 for the tract, and the man is now pointed out as one who has earned-success as the result of certain virtues which he indeed never possessed. This land transaction he always omits when he furnishes interviewers with a short sketch of his path to success. The matter of chance is also neglected in the average talk upon this subject. In the game of life, where there are so many players, it must happen by the law of chance that a few are favored out of all proportion to the rest. The law of chance must favor some without regard to personality. *If a piece of land passes through the hands of twenty owners, some one of them will own it when a city is located there; the other nineteen will be considered lacking in foresight, while to the lucky owner will be ascribed all the virtues which cluster about the wealthy, whereas he may have taken the land on a bad debt, or in a horse trade, without foresight and without deliberation. If by success one means a competence secured at the age of sixty, it is no doubt within the reach of all healthy, intelligent young men, and the old-fashioned virtues of frugality, honesty, patience and calculating judgment are the only sure means of reaching it. Even in this modest aspiration the man with all these virtues in his favor may fail by one false step, but his experience in the school of self-control will do much to prevent such a step, and after many days of such strenuous and unromantic plodding, life will not open to him and show him that virtue is not in vain, that the wise and conservative precepts of the ages are true, indeed, to him who masters himself and alms at only what is possible by honest means and patient, contented study of the laws by which permanent results are gained. Brilliant exceptions do not form a basis for reasoning. It is not safe to draw conclusions from exceptional cases. A few examples of quick and phenomenal success do not form any basis for reasoning about the chances of the average man. It is poor logic to argue from exceptions instead of from the rule, and it is not the rule for two-path boys to become presidents. Such examples as Mr. Schwab and Mr. Gates are very exceptional cases. It is far safer and saner to determine what is the usual result of a lifetime's energy and intelligence, and to lay plans accordingly, than to be led in optimistic conclusions by arguing from striking exceptions and disregarding the dull and inexorable rule.-Retail Clerks' International Advocate. HOW TO EXTRACT HONEY. Method of Removing the, Filled Combs and Returning Them. The invention of the movable frame hive and the honey extractor has afforded beekeepers the means of taking out of the hives the combs loaded with honey and returning them again to the bees when empty, without damaging them in the least, and without injuring or killing a single bee. Extracted honey comes nearer being a staple article than does comb honey. I believe if we beekeepers would exert ourselves more in the introduction of extracted honey the future would see the greater portion of our honey sold in the liquid form. It costs so much less to produce it and to prepare it for the market; besides, we can produce so much more a colony that we can afford to sell it for about one-half of what we get for comb honey, and yet realize the same profit. My honey is all left in the hives until the latter part of September. By this time the bees have thoroughly ripened it, and it becomes so rich and thick that it takes a strong arm to twist it out of the combs. When the combs are taken from the bees they are immediately carried to the honey house, and left there until evening. After the bees have stopped flying for the day we drive to the yard and haul home our honey. I always prefer to do the extracting at home, where we can arrange things to our convenience. Before beginning to extract I usually take the uncapping knife and hone it on an oil stone until the edges are keen. This prevents tearing the combs to a great extent, when shaving off the cappings. During the process of uncapping the knife is occasionally dipped into a pail of hot water, which greatly facilitates the work of uncapping. Two frames of nearly equal weight are selected each time so as to balance nicely in the extractor. When ready to extract the crank is turned rapidly for a few minutes and the honey is whipped out of the combs. It is then drawn off at the honey gate into an agate vessel, which has a sieve over it to catch the bits of cappings which frequently drop into the extractor. The honey is then poured into five gallon cans for the wholesale trade, and some in Mason jars and bottles for the retail trade. Before the extracting is begun the combs of honey are held up to the light and graded. The white honey is selected and extracted first, and is kept separately; next the amber, and last of all the dark honey. The uncapping can is arranged in two parts, the top section telescoping into the bottom section. The top section also has a sieve at its bottom which catches the cappings as they fall into the can. The honey then drains from it into the lower section and nothing is lost or wasted. The cappings, after draining for a few days, are rendered into the most beautiful light yellow wax. The empty combs are set out into the home aptery and cleaned up by the bees and stored away until the next spring, when they are again hauled to the outwards and used there. Good extracted honey, if brought to a temperature of not over 160 degrees Fahrenheit, then bottled and sealed white hot, will usually, if kept in a uniformly warm temperature, keep liquid for six months or more. But there is a great difference in honey. Some will candy much quicker than others. The ripen and thicker the honey the longer it will keep liquid. Cold atmosphere is quite favorable to the granulating of both comb and extracted honey. Celiars and cold rooms, especially when subject to freezing, are poor places to store honey. In re-liquifying candied extracted honey the temperature should not go above 160 degrees, otherwise the fine flavor will in a large measure be destroyed. The proper way to liquify honey is to place the vessel, containing the honey into another larger receptacle containing hot water. In putting extracted honey upon the retail market a glass package is preferable to all others, with a colored "label neatly printed with the owner's name." E. G. Herman, Leonia, N. J. [Until some effective means have been devised to prevent the adulteration of extracted honey by dealers, comb honey will be preferred by that increasingly large class of fussy customers who insist on receiving what they order and pay for, and refuse to be satisfied by the assurance that the goods delivered "contain nothing injurious to health."—Editor New York Tribune Farmer. The Vow of Poverty. In the Middle Ages the bishop was venerated and less respect was paid to the monk. To-day the mind of the faithful has become more noble, and the luxury which surrounded princes of the church in the past, and which was then necessary to their prestige, has become a source of discredit. In order that the church may regain its moral power the row of poverty must no longer remain a vain formula—Le Gaulois. Rough and muddy roads cost the average farmer more than his taxes. If each farmer will, at the proper times, do a little dragging on the road in front of his land, the State's bad roads will largely be made good roads. Try it for a year; get your neighbors to do the same; see how inexpensive and simple it all is, and if it isn't one of the wisest investments you ever made. This tells you how: The drag may be made of a log, say eight feet long and twelve inches through, split in the middle, or of two pieces of any substantial wood, two by eight inches, and the lighter the better. After the log is split, giving two flat-faced slabs, as shown in the drawing, connect the slabs, facing the same direction, with three stakes or rounded three by three long enough to leave three feet of space between the slabs after the connecting pieces have been driven into the holes. Two or three boards nailed together can be laid on these pieces, affording a loose platform for the driver to stand on. Use a chain or strong rope for attachment to the doubletree. Supposing the drag to face west, and assuming that a chain is used, fasten one end of the chain to or around the left-hand outside connecting brace, letting the chain pass over the top of the front slab. If attached to the face of the slab near the left-hand end, the chain would interfere with the movement of the dirt toward the end of the drag. The other end of the chain can be inserted and fastened in a hole in the face of the front slab near the right-hand connecting piece comes through, as shown in the illustration. Shoe about four feet of the bottom edge (right-hand side) of the front slab with a piece of iron or steel, about three inches wide and a half-inch thick, with one edge sharp or beveled. Bolt it on securely, letting the sharp edge project about half an inch below the edge of the slab. This shoe will enable the drag better to shave the surface and cut down the hard ridges which are usually met with on roads that have not been kept smooth. A good drag will cost from almost nothing to $2.50, depending on the material and construction, and last five or ten years. There is no patent on it and anybody can make one. Roads should be dragged ten or twelve times a year. The time is after each soaking rain, so that the drag will form a smooth surface. The dragging should be done when the soil is moist, but not sticky. When the frost is leaving the ground is an excellent time to begin; the drag should be in use from then until winter. The work does not interfere with ordinary farming operations, as when it is the right time to drag the soil is too wet or the conditions unsulted for most kinds of field work. It is difficult to invent a good excuse for not dragging. Used at the right time and with proper frequency, on practically all types of corn belt soils and those of the clayey or rolling sections, the drag will make roads smooth, hard and convex—the three fundamental characteristics of an ideal dirt road. The process will form a sort of shell or casing over the surface which will shed water like a roof, and by distributing travel over the entire area, instead of confining it to the centre, the shell will constantly increase in solidity. At the outset dragging cannot be done so rapidly as when the road has been shaped up by several sweeps of the drag; after this preliminary, work the job can be done in half the time originally required. Drive slowly. Any boy and farm team can operate the drag and will learn at every dragging, for years, how to get better results from it. If you don't want to attend to dragging your own part of the road, chip in a trifle with others and hire some neighbor who will do the work regularly at the proper time. Don't be disturbed if your road doesn't reach perfection in the first year. Keep everlastingly at it, and later on you will be glad.—F. C. Doburn, Secretary Kansas Board of Agriculture. The Retort Direct; The driver of the $6000 car picked his course slowly along the rough highway. "And the sad-eyed agriculturist sat on the fence and watched his progress. "You let your roads get into an atrocious condition," growled the man. "It's the only way we can protect ourselves from these pesky automobilists," retorted the agriculturist. Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Yes, “greatness is vision.” ‘The world needs discernment. That is to, say St needs seeing eyes. It needs to cultivate the habit and the faculty of perception, This is true in the fntellectual, in the civic and the spiritual world, not to mention others, We need vision in the intellectual lite. Too great insistency cannot be Jaid upon the need for clear-cut, def- inite, inelsive thinking. We cannot afford as men or as a society to do Jess than cultivate our powers of In- tellectual Giacernmant to the full.

Not otherwise is it in the civic life. Here, if anywhere, we must have vision, The memories of Washing- ton and Jefferson, of Webster, of Gladstone, of Lincoln, project before our minds the crying’ necessity for a civic vision. As we stand at the part- ing of the ways, when to go forward is to accept new opportunities and to be invested with larger responsibili- ties and obligations unto service, tt fs imperative that we shall see clear- ly and far-reachingly into the future of our civic life. Blind men cannot lead us. Only a teadership that sees is fit for the front in the march of progress. But great as {s the call for an ex- erolse of insight and for men of vis- ion in the intellectual and civic at- fairs of men, still greater Is the de- weand for profound vision in the spir- itual life. As Moses and Ientah saw the truth of God unto spiritual sat- Ssfaction, for the men and women of the Israelitish race; as Paul and Lu- ther and Wesley and Joan Knox and Jokn Calvin and Channing and a myriad of other saints of God laid bare the truth of God to the gaze of the Gentile svorld; as the Lord Jesus Christ with divine insigut revealed the eternal truth of the Father for the benefit of sinning souls; so must we, to-day, as we desire to he lead- ers in our timo, have the vision of the prophets and of a son of God, unto the portrayal of the truth of God to the race. No man Is fit to be a leader for the souls of men until first he has had a viston of the Lord, None of us is capable of lifting men to the level of the life of Jesus Christ until he bag had blmselt a clear dis- cernment abd preception of the truth of God. The blind cannot lead the blind. ‘The bijnd do not desire to be led by the blind. The blind should not have the temerity to attempt to lead the blind. Only a man whose spiritual visfon Is unclouded should have either the courage or the au- dacity to try to show the beautles of the God-blessed life to-other men. That man, alone, is competent to be 4 guide through the wilderness of life, and to lead .men along the road at Tighteousness to the goal of spir- itual victory, who has seen already for himself the truth of which he is the revelation. The spiritual vision is the best vis- jon. We may not, as did Moses, walk with God. We may not sense His presence with the faculties of the natural man. But we may, In the fineness of our spiritual perception, be and become as intimate with God in a spiritual manner as Moses or Abraham or Enoch or Isalah ev@r sere, Spiritual vision is the best rision. As the Psalmist pleaded, co should we cry out to God in earnest. sunPlication, “open Thou mine eyes.” Not only that we may learn won- irous things out of His law, ‘aough ve may co that; but that we mar Iso receive such a vision of the heav- nly realities; of the eternal verities; ft Him who dwelleth in the secret hambers of the Most,High; as shalt’ ustain, uplift and inspire our Immor- al souls.

Gabrielle spent ‘nearly tye years among the Indians of America studying thelr dances to see it he could discover trom their gyrations a clew to their origin, He found among tho Pueblos forms which convince bim that thelr re Ugtous dances were of Chinese, or at Jeast of Oriental origin, white he firm ly was convinced that tho Apaches de- Tived thelr war dances, thelr sun dances and other ceremonlal dances from Asiatle forms. Among the northern Indians he de clares he found semblance to Ice landic—and therefore Norge dances— and traces of old Jewish ceremonial dances, especially in thelr council lodge dances. ‘The ancient dance of the Eskimos was a chief feature of thelr festivals. ‘The nativos formed in a group, in ‘the center of which stood the chief performer. He sang a welrd song, beating time on a drum, gesticulating and canclug like a madman. Sometimes the song mwas meant merely for tha entertainment of the company, who held hands and circled around him Ifko chitdren do when they ‘play “Frog in the Meadow.” But generally the song and dance ‘had a ceremontal, it rot > rellglous, significance, The man in the center chanted a satirical “nith song” against another Eskimo, who made signif- cant responses. Porhaps the strangest of dances {s that of the. wild Halry Ainu, the mountain savages of Japan, In one of their few public seml-religious fes- Uvals the girls put on long yellow gowns painted with rude, splotches of white and red, and with a mottled blue cloth slang over their backs, The significance of this pecullar garment has not been revealed to travelers who have seen their dances, Two" little children are placed In the center of a cleared circle, and the oddly dressed Alou girls 50 ground and around, calling out cer- tain words repeatedly and hopping al- mrays on one foot. ‘The dance fn a slight way is sald to resemble the “Sir Roger de Cover- ey,” and, though it is, uncouth and barbarous to a degree, {t fs not with- out a certain wild beauty.—Cifcage ‘Tribune. ‘NATURAL INFERENCE, “what reason have you for think- fng there's something wroxg with Ad- demiip’s accounts?” “None, except that he's kicking like «@ steer against having &ls books ex am{ned.’—Chicago Tribune. | Whom, the gods would destroy ther sometimes, in periods of unexampled Prosperity, find # more convenient to make rich, observes Life, Itch cured in 30 minutes by Wootfont’s Sanitary J.otion; never fails, Sold by Drug- ests.

Heretofore the movement has been general, and the particular claims of Atlatna have not Leen stressed or brought prominently to the front, the committee from the Georgia Bankers’ Association concen- trating thelr efforts toward securing the subtreasury for the state of Geor- gia, and not specifsing any particular city, However, Savannah and Macon are actively pulling for the subtreas- ury, and Atlanta decided to put for- ward every effort on her avn be- half.

A Washington dispatch says: Colon nel Livingston has {Gtroduced a bill providing that the government should contribute tothe support of Georgia's district agricultural schools, The bill carries appropriation of $1,000 annu- ally for each school for this pur- pose, | ¥ . The bill providing for the mainte- nance of agricultural schools is made general in its application, and ag tech- nically worded provides “that there 1s hereby appropriated annually out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, to be paid, to each state and territory for each éol- lege that 1s or may hereafter be es+ tallishea in congressional districts, the sum of $10,000 annually. Such sum shall be applied to the, mainte- nance ef such agricultural schools, as ‘difected by the -tate, under the au- thority of law as preseribed by the states.” Colonel Livingston's bill proposes to further the \rork had in view by Governor Terrell on his visit, to the secretary of agrizulture a few days aga.

The annual reunion of Confederate veterans will be held in Richmond, Va. on May 31, June 1, 2 and 3, the last day witnessing the unveiting of the monument of President Jefferson Davis, From Richmond, hundredg af vet- erans, many of them from Georgia, will visit the Jamestown exposition, as practically all tickets will read to return from Richmond that way. It had been suggested that Georgia Day should be June 13, though 20 def- {nite action has yet been taken. General West has seen President W. N. Mitchell of the Jamestown commis- sion and presented the plan to him. President Mitchell agreed that the idea was a splendid one and stated that he would take the’matter up with the board of directors af the expos!- tion on the occasion of his next visit there, which will be within the next few days, ‘president Roosevelt has practically stated that he will so arrange his plans as to make his second visit to the exposition on Georgia Day and that he will deliver an ad:ress on that occasion at the Georgia building, which will be a reproduction of Bul- which will be a reprodtction of Bul- loch Hall, at Roswell, the girlhood home of his mother. Tt will be a splendid opportunity and unquestionably many more Geor- glans from among the Confederate veterans at least, would be present on that occasion if the date is fixed on June 4. am NEGRO TROOPERS ARRESTED For “Shooting Up’ a Street Car in Leavenworth, Kansas, . +- Fourteen soldiers, the majority of whom are froopers of the ninth cay- alry (negro) have been arrested at Leavenworth, Kansas, in connection with the rlot on a street car Christ- mas night when a numba of shots were fired into a loaded car and sev- eral passengers slightly injured by broken glass. .
