The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXII. DISHONEST DIVISOR Used in Weighing Up Mails Carried by Railroads. Congress Orders Postal Department to Correct Matter and Railroads Will Lose Enormous Sum of A Washington special says: It is estimated that $12,000,000 will be cut from the annual mail pay of the railroads by the action of the postoffice committee Saturday. Seven millions of this is saved by the reduced rates of mail on account of the new method of computation which reckons Sunday as a working day. Formerly the mail was weighed only six days in the week, and computation made on this basis. Representative Victor Murdock, of Kansas, started the agitation against this system last December, declaring it has cost the government $50,000,000 in ten years. Representative Murdock said that the department was using a false "divisor" in that it weighted mail for seven days and divided the amount by six to ascertain the amount on which to base the compensation of roads. The provision agreed upon requires that weighing shall be done for seven days and the amount divided by seven.* Railroads which have a contract with the government for carrying the mails will be, required to make the schedule time of their mail, trains regularly, or pay a heavy penalty provided the bill decided upon today in the bill decided upon is enacted into law. The postoffice department now imposes a small penalty for delays in the time of their mail by railroads, but the congressional committee proposes to give them wider authority in order to force compliance with contracts in keeping advertised schedules. It was also decided to reduce the present mail pay 5 per cent where the average each day per mile is from 5,000 to 48,000 pounds. Where the average is under 5,000 pounds no reduction is contemplated. The bill will carry a total of $209,180,561. This is the largest amount ever carried for the expenditures of the postal service. The total recommended in the bill is more than $3,000,000 in excess of the amount estimated for the department and is an increase of $17,500,562 over the current appropriation. The salaries of postal clerks and of both city and rural carriers are increased to a total of $7,000,000. A provision is inserted in the bill for the classification of postal clerks, and the positions of clerks and carriers are made interchangeable. There are various provisions in the bill intended to reduce the pay of railroads for carrying the mails. The bill cuts off all pay to roads for hauling empty mail sacks, which is estimated will save between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 a year. Postmaster General Cortelyou Saturday reported to congress the record from July 7 to December 31, 1906, of all second class mail matter received for free distribution at the one-cent-pound rate, in compliance with a provision in the current appropriation act. It was found that more than 90 per cent of all second class matter originated in 429 cities. The total weight of this class of mail for the period was 376,008,915 pounds. The weight of the daily newspapers was 141,123.856 pounds, all of which was carried an average of 255 miles; weekly and other than daily newspapers carried weighed 77,736,648, hauled 440 miles.

FEIST TRIAL IS RESUMED. Nashville Doctor's Attorneys Attempt to Prove Aliib.

JAPS HELD AS VAGRANTS Action of Municipal Authorities at San Antonio, Texas, May Precipitate International Controversy. An international controversy is now threatened as a result of the arresting of a number of Japanese by the police department of San Antonio, Texas, on charges of vagrancy in spite of the fact that nearly all of them are employed and all of them have money. L. S. Mogl, a wealthy Japanese local resident, said, regarding the action of the police: "They continue to make arrests almost every day. I don't know what they charge the Japanese with. I don't know why they arrest them unless it is to win the negro vote. I telephone to police headquarters every night and find if there are any of my countrymen in jail and then I go and get them. I do not have to pay any fine or bond for them. I have not yet heard of the Japanese being mistreated in the jail and they do not complain because they do not know what it is all about, or that their rights are violated when they are deprived of their liberty. If this continues indefinitely I will have to appeal to the Japanese consul and if I near of any Japanese being mistreated I will appeal to the consul immediately to have these apparently purposeless arrests stopped." The police are making charges of vagrancy against the Japanese. Thus far none have been fined on that charge, by the judge of the police court, but he has dismissed many of them. The Japanese are arrested by direct order of Mayor B. Gallughan of San Antonio. POLICEMAN WAS IGNORANT. Cop "Suspected" Man Had Pistol and Proceeded to Arrest Him. PROCEDURE TO ARrest Him. No officer of the law has the right to seize a man in Georgia on mere suspicion of his carrying a concealed weapon, and even though a weapon should be found on such person the arrest is hiegal. This is the law of the state, but not one always observed. In the case of Joe Hammock, from the city court of Macon, the appellate court, in a decision just handed down lays emphasis on the wrong of such custom. Hammock was arrested in a saloon in Macon. The officer told him to come along, as he believed he had a pistol on him. When searched Hammock did have a pistol, and he was found guilty in the city court on that count. In reversing Judge Hodges of the city court of Macon, Judge Arthur Powell of the appellate court says: "When by an unlawful search and seizure," under an illegal arrest a person is compelled by an officer of the law to furnish evidence against himself, such evidence is not admissible against him in a criminal prosecution." RACING DOOMED IN TENNESSEE. Legislature Passes Bill Which Completely Kocks Out the Sports pletely Rocks Out the Sports.

At Jackson, Mich., Tuesday Policeman Isaac Lewis walked into the office of Police Captain Holzafel in the local station and shot him through the heart, killing his superior almost instantly. He then fired a shot at Chief Boyle, but missed him. Lewis said later he was tired of seeing Holzafel strutting around. GREEN JEALOUSY AND SPITE Leads Massachusetts Congressman to Make a Flinis at South.

J. Watson. The resolution calls for the opinion by Sollicitor Karle upon the point as to whether these immigrants were admitted onlawfully. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 9. 1907. PROBE IS ORDERED For Cotton Exchanges in Bill Passed by House. CONGRESS TO USE GAFT. New York Representative Made Speech in Defense, While Livingstone Contended That Only Square Deal is Wanted. The Livingston-Burleson resolution calling for an investigation of the cotton exchanges of the country, passed the house Monday, with barely a dissenting vote. The work of the lobby for the cotton exchanges, which Harvie Jordan predicted would be in evidence, did not materialize. Representative Fitzgerald of New York made a speech; in which he declared that the New York cotton exchange was all right, and its contracts and operations perfectly legitimate, and that any investigation should be directed not against the exchange, but against the Southern Cotton Association. His attitude seemed to be that it was all right for the cotton exchange gambers to depress the price of cotton, but that for the southern farmer to attempt to combine, and refuse to make a big cotton crop, and take the same money from a small crop that would follow from a bumper crop, was all wrong. He said the complaint set forth in the resolution differed from the usual protests against corporations, and trusts in that the usual plan was to enter objection against putting up the price of a product. He said he always took the side of the consumer in such fights. He did not favor a tariff in the interest of the producer, and he did not believe in the combination of southern cotton associations in the interest of the producer. He said the south was so prosperous she was becoming rapacious. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi explained that it was not a question of a lower or higher price, but the object sought was a fixed staple price, so that the market would not be continually affected by violent fluctuations. He protested that this fixed selling price, such as the Southern Cotton Association seeks to maintain, was for the best interest of both the producer and the consumer, the farmers and the mill men. He said the south is not too prosperous, but is laying up in fat years for lean years, putting aside in her years of plenty for the years of need. He declared that H Fitzgerald had lived in the days of Joseph he would have declared the combination made by Joseph and Pharaoh, at the decision of God, was an iniquilous trust. Colonel Livingston made a strong, clear presentation of the facts that led up to the introduction of the resolution, saying no fight on the exchanges was intended, but the movement was simply against some of the rules and methods. He said: "When they come to honest contracts, and cease to use the exchanges to control prices, and construct interestate and foreign commerce, the object of the framers of the resolution would be attained. All they wanted was the square deal." In conclusion, Col. Livingston said: "The cotton producers for thirty years have struggled for a square deal in marketing cotton, handicapped by the obstinate interference and manipulation on the part of the cotton exchanges. We have begged for relief, and our appeals have been treated with silent contempt. Recently when we appealed to one of the great departments of the government for relief, we were threatened and laughed at by the New York cotton exchange. We were threatened with libel suits and subsequent imprisonment. We appealed for the adoption of this resolution believing it will be a starter at least, and result in the cotton farmer being given a square deal." MILLIONS UNLAWFULLY TAKEN From Southern States in Shape of Cotton Taxing During War. Representative Heflin, of Alabama, has introduced a bill in the house for the disposition of the proceeds of the cotton taxes of 1862, 1864 and 1866, collected, as alleged, in violation of the constitution of the United States, from thirty states, and amounting in round numbers to $68,060,000. The bill provides that any person who paid taxes on cotton under the acts referred to shall have the right to establish his claim, proof of which is to be made in the court of claims. INSANITY PLEA FOR THAW Made by His Array of Counsel Before New York Court—Case is Fully Outlined to the Jury. The state laid its cast against Harry K. Thaw in court at New York Monday in a plain, unemotional story of the shooting on the Madison Square roof garden, leaving the malice and the motive to be inferred from the act—and the defense replied with a plea of hereditary insanity. It was asserted that Thaw, in slaying Stanford White, believed he was acting as an agent of providence, that real or fancied wrongs committed against him by the architect and former friends of his wife, had boiled and bubbled in his brain until at last there came the explosive impulse to kill. When the deed was done, Thaw made no move to escape its consequences, but, holding the fatal revolver aloft, he stood as if mutely proclaiming to the world, "The deed is done; it was right, it was not wrong." Thus Thaw's counsel outlined his case to the jury Monday afternoon after the prosecution had occupied less than two hours of the morning, sitting of the court in relating through eye-witnesses the narrative of the tragedy. When the defense had interposed its plea and outlined its case, in adjournment was taken until Tuesday, when the first witness in Thaw's behalf will be heard. "You will hear the story of this man's insanity," Attorney John B. Gleason, for the defense, promised the jury, "from his mother, from his wife, from his relatives and from his physicians. You will judge him by his acts, ny the hereditary and stress which entered into his madness, and when you come to judge him you will say to yourself that his act may have been one of insanity, but it was not one of crime." That Thaw's wife was to be one of the most important witnesses has long been known; that his mother was to take the stand only became known positively when the court announced the rule excluding from the court room all witnesses save experts. THIRTY MEET DEATH IN MINE. Another Pit Horror Caused by Explosion in West Virginia. Twenty-five or thirty, miners, the majority of them foreigners, are supposed to be dead as the result of a mine explosion Monday at Mine No. 25, of the Davis Coal and Coke Company, at Thomas, near Elkins, W. Va. Late Monday evening the first searching party entered the mine.

REPORT JUST RECEIVED President Roosevelt Writes a Special Letter of Commendation, Which is Sent in With the Report. In unequivocal terms, President Roosevelt Friday approved Admiral Davis' entire action in connection with his visit to Kingston, Jamaica, to render aid to the stricken city and in addition requested the secretary of the navy to express to Admiral Davis his heartiest commendation of all that he did. The long expected report of Admiral Davis of the circumstances leading to the withdrawal of the fleet from Kingston reached the navy department on Friday and was at once laid before the president. Inasmuch as the president already has announced that the diplomatic phase of the case is a closed incident the report itself will not be made public. However, Secretary Metcalf gave out the letter to Admiral Evans, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, warmly commending Admiral Davis for his conduct of a situation, "which was, to say the least, somewhat embarrassing." The correspondence is supplemented by a strong letter of commendation of Admiral Davis by the president and by Secretary Metcalf, who adds his approval and commendation of Admiral Davis' "distinguished service to humanity." The letters are as follows: "United States Flagship Maine, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, January 23, 1907.—Respectfully forwarded approved to the secretary of the navy, through bureau of navigation. The report and its appendices made by officers who were on the spot, and therefore best able to judge, appear to set forth the whole situation very clearly." "The commander-in-chief feels that he cannot too highly commend Rear Admiral Davis for the very dignified and masterly manner in which he conducted a situation, which was, to say the least, somewhat embarrassing, and he deems it particularly fortunate that there was at hand an officer such as he to deal with the problems which arose. The commander-in-chief heartily approves the commendatory remarks relating to the officers and men of the ship who accompanied Admiral Davis, but they did no more than is expected of officers and men in the navy, and no more than would have been done by officers and men of the other ships of the fleet, and, indeed, the ships sent were not chosen above those of others of the fleet, for any other reason than they were more nearly ready for steaming when the needs of the disaster was received. "Rear Admiral United States Navy, Commander-in-Chief United States Atlantic Fleet." President to eMtcalf. "The White House, Washington, February 1, 1907.—To the Secretary of the Navy: I have read carefully the report of Admiral Davis, submitted by you, together with the report of Admiral Evans, commending the actions of Admiral Davis at Kingston. I return them herewith, and desire that you express to Admiral Davis my heartiest commendation of all that he did at Kingston. I approve of his entire action. He upheld the best traditions of our navy in thus rendering distinguished service to humanity. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Secretary Metcalf's letter to Admiral Davis says: "The department desires to add also its approval and commendation of your able service and those of the officers and men under your command." MRS.

OFFICIAL OF SOUTHERN Joined With Oliver to Help Handle Canal Contract—Will Manage All Transportation. William J. Oliver, of Knoxville, Tenn., the lowest bidder for the construction work on the Panama canal, held a conference in New York Sunday night with ten other contractors who will, it is understood, be associated with Mr. Oliver in the event that his bid is accepted. The purpose of the conference, it was said, was to discuss the formation of a corporation which would be prepared to undertake the work on the lathmus. Those present in addition to Mr. Oliver were: John H. McDonald and John Pierce, of Maine; K. T. Walsh, of the Walsh Contracting Company, Davenport, Iowa; P. M. Brennan, of the Brennan Contracting Company, of Washington, D. C., Robert Russell, of New York, who has been associated with Mr. Oliver in many enterprises; W. H.

Chester, first vice president of the Commercial National Bank, Washington, D. C., and R. A. C. Smith, of New York City. Mr. Oliver declined to make public the outcome of Sunday night's meeting, but said that something might be made public in a few days. A representative of Mr. Oliver subsequently announced some plans that have been agreed upon in addition to these already made known. Mr. McDonald will, if the corporation to be formed is awarded the canal contract, have general supervision of the machinery used. R. A. C. Smith and Mr. Chester will have charge of the financial end of the corporation. Mr. Smith is a director of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, and is also a director and officer in many other banks Mr. Ackert will have charge of all canal transportation. Troops of Uncle Sam Cannot Be Compelled to Attend Church. penalized to Attend church. The text of the opulon of Judge Advocate General Davis, or the army, in connection with a sergeant's refusal to obey orders at Columbus, O., barracks, to attend Roman Catholic service, for which refusal the war department ordered the sergeant's reduction and transfer to another post, shows the following question submitted to the secretary of war by the commanding officer of the recruiting depot at Columbus barracks: "Is an order directing a soldier of a command by the commanding officer thereof to attend divine worship in a church in which he was brought up, and who has no conscientious scruples against attending such services so manifestly illegal as to warrant such soldier in deliberately violating the same?" In his opinion, Judge Advocate General Davis called attention to the fact that congress is forbidden by the first amendment to the constitution to make any law "respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." p He says that officers and enlisted men of the, army have never been requiled to attend religious services. "I must, therefore, conclude that," General Davis says, "while a post commander may lawfully issue such orders as he may seem necessary to secure a proper observance of the Salbath, it is not competent for him to require officers and enlisted men to attend divine services, or to promote instructions in respect to the observance of the day, which are in excess of or contrary to the requirements of the 32nd article of war." RURAL GUARDS·FOR CUBA Order Issued Directing an Increase of the Native Force. As a result of a recent conference at the White House between the president, Secretary Taft and General Bell, chief of staff, an order has been issued directing an increase of theural guard of Cuba from 6,000 to 10,000 men. The purpose is to avoid increasing the number of American troops, the native guards being more acceptable to the people DEATH DECREED JEWS. Revolutionists in Odessa Preparing for Another Onslaught.

Stevedores who work in the holds, now paid 25 cents per hour, demand 30 cents; pullers, or men on the ship, now paid 20 cents, demand 25 cents; and porters, the men who are outside laborers handling the cargoes to the vessel, now paid 15 cents, demand 20 cents. Kick on Railroad Commissary. Has a state railroad the right to operate a commissary train and do a general grocery business along its line? This rather unique point has been brought before the railroad commission by N. H. Bass, a merchant of Lavendar, Floyd county. Mr. Bass complained that the Central railroad was operating a commissary train, selling supplies to its employees, deducting the amount from their salaries on pay days. The complaint says that this is injuring the merchants of Lavendar and other points along the road in two ways—one by taking from them legitimate business and the other by loading bay debts on them when they credit some employees of the Central ```markdown ``` An Extensive Land Deal. * * * P. EDWARD.PERRY, Vice President. The commission held that it was not a matter with which it could deal, and that Mr. Bass' proper recourse would be the courts. It is the first time this point has ever been raised. Drove Negroes from County. Governor Terrell has received two petitions from citizens of Banks and Habersham county asking for rewards for the apprehension of the parties guilty of forcing three negroes, Frank Grant, Henry Seism and Marshall Davenport, to leave their homes in fear of bodily harm. It is charged that the parties who terrorized the negroes went to their homes and fired into them. The negroes, who were said to be honest and law-abiding, fled from their homes. The petition is presented by Ordinary M., Franklin, and other officials of Habersham county, seconded by Mayor George W. Grant and the city council of Alto. The governor has written for full particulars. Fear is expressed for the future of the state reformatory at Millledgeville, on account of the large number of negro boys now being sent there by judges in various parts of the state? Out of thirteen boys now in the reformatory, eight are negroes, and the proportion bids fair to increase. Four of these negro boys were sent to the reformatory from the superior court of Muscogee county, and two more, it is said, are waiting at Columbus to be sent there. This has been done in some instances, despite the fact that the law under which the reformatory was established, gives the judges discretion to send the boys where they think best. Acting under this discretion, Judge George T. Cann, of Savannah, has sent four 12-year-old negro boys to the state prison farm, since the opening of the reformatory. It is generally believed that discretion was given under the law in order that the reformatory would not be filled up with negro boys to the exclusion of whites. WRECK TAKES SIX LIVES.

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR 1 New York City. — The accordion pleated waist is always a pretty, graceful and attractive one, and just now is peculiarly desirable for the eason that there is such a long list C of exceedingly thin, fashionable materials. The one illustrated is susceptible of treatment of several sports, and can be utilized for the theatre waist, for the evening waist or for the simple afternoon gown, inasmuch as the neck can be cut high or low and the sleeves allow three different lengths. In the illustration chiffon is combined with yoke and cuffs of lace and is trimmed with bands of taffeta that are embroidered with French knots and piped with velvet, but there are so many trimming materials that might be suggested that the list is so long as almost to be prohibitive. For the waist itself all the THE WORLD'S FASHION soft materials that can be pleated successfully are appropriate, net both black and white, plain and figured being much seen, while for the yoke there are a variety of all-over materials. Lace itself shows a genious number of sorts, while there are many embroidered nets and inserted tuckings and the like, all of which are appropriate, and the trimming can be cut from any pretty contrasting material. When low neck is used the straight band of embroidery or applique makes the preferred finish, while the short sleeves are exceedingly pretty edged with narrow frills of lace. The waist is made with a fitted lining on which the yoke and the pleated portions are arranged and is closed invisibly at the back and the sleeves are arranged over linings which can be cut off to any desired length. The quantity of material required for the medium size is six and three-quarter yards twenty-one, four and three-quarter yards twenty-seven, four yards thirty-six or three yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide, with one-half yard of all-over lace, if three-quarter sleeves are used, one yard for yoke and deep cuffs when long sleeves are used, one-half yard of silk for the trimming bands. Among the novelties in the shops are pretty linen cuffs and turnover collars made of linen and richly embroidered. These are always very effective as a dress accessory. Empire Skirt. The new Empire skirt illustrated is one of the prettiest and most graceful of the season. It hangs in long, sweeping lines, it retains the normal waist line at the front while it shortens it a bit in the back after the manner of the period, and is peculiarly well adapted to all the soft materials of fashion, even cloth being so pliable this year that it can be made full with perfect success. This one is shown in white marquisette with embroidery executed on the material as a trimming, but while such trimming is exceedingly beautiful there are innumerable appliqués which are most effective and an infinite variety of ways in which the skirt can be finished. Indeed, the simple grittened hem often is sufficient, while the list of bandings and trimmings to be purchased by the yard is very nearly limitless. There is a smoothly fitted girdle, over which the fulness is arranged, and which serves to make the wearer comfortable as well as to keep the skirt perfectly in place, and which is concealed by the outer one of soft silk. The skirt is cut in seven gores and the foundation girdle in eight sections, while the draped girdle is in one piece. When the Empire line is not found becoming, however, the skirt can be cut off at the waist line and finished with a straight belt, while also it is perforated for walking length, so that it becomes a very made available for a great many occasions as well as a great many materials. The quantity of material required 22 for the medium size is nine and a generally useful one that can be half yards twenty-one, nine and a quarter yards twenty-seven or seven and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide if material has figure or nap; eight if a half yards twenty-seven ```markdown ``` or five yards forty-four inches wide if it has not, with three-eighth yard of taffeta or other lining for the foundation girdle, seven-eighth yard of silk for the draped girdle. SOME WILD ANIMAL BOGIES. The passing of the big game from the more thickly settled districts has gradually turned the romance of sportmanship into an indiscriminate slaughter of everything that lives by the young hero worshiper, who seems to imagine that the destruction of an inoffensive chlpmunk in some way throws around his own shoulders the mantle of valor with which tradition clothes his ancestors. To round out these encounters into tales that bear the telling sometimes taxes the ingenuity of even those inventive young heroes; but their task is fortunately lightened by the activity with which the public swallows the most ludicrous rumors that promise something of a neighborhood sensation. The recent killing of a pet cinnamon bear near Concauc Lake, Pennsylvania, by a Grove City tyro is one more illustration of this senseless and unreasoning panic, something in which the true hunter, with the courage of the forest upon him, is not prone to indulge. Some one, frightened perhaps by his own shadow, if cast among the shadows of surrounding trees, gives the cry of danger; a number of excitable residents hear, see or imagine an unusual presence; the local papers print a few columns of gush about the "wild animal" roaming through the neighborhood; then some wilder animal, gun in hand, too ignorant or too frightened to consider that a cinnamon bear, never a native of Pennsylvania, could only by any possibility be found therein through man's agency or ownership; and two homeless wanderers are suddenly deprived of their pet companion and means of livelihood. Not all "scares" terminate in an animal tragedy that draws attention so entirely from the ludicrous side. Some years ago, almost in this same neighborhood, a young man had his nerves considerably shaken up one night by the sudden passage of a strange animal across the road before him—this where no larger wild animal was to be expected than a coon or fox. The story was hardly credited at first, but during the next few weeks at least a dozen different people had a similar experience either a night or, in a few instances, in broad daylight. Some recognized a mountain lion; others a South American jaguar, while even the king of beasts was himself described with startling minuteness by one or two of the frightened witnesses. Some one finally missed a sheep. A dead calf that had been left unburied was found to be mutilated; then the carrying off of full-grown cattle was one of the strange visitor's reported pastimes. With the possibility of such a visitant among them, even those who disbelieved the stories became interested, especially as the group of witnesses included some of the most solid and conservative people. It seemed only the part of duty to rid the neighborhood of such a dangerous marauder, and an entire village, under the leadership of a good citizen who was familiar with the wood-lot, said to be the most frequently infested, started out one Sunday morning on an organized "wild animal" hunt. Some went because they considered it a duty; others out of curiosity; some because the rest were going; but in the crowd there were doubtless some who had a secret hope of returning with a full-grown African lion in their game bag or else a secret fear that they would see one at close quarters. Only a part of the array had guns or other efficient weapons, and only a few of those who did were as dangerous to a wild animal as they were to their comrades. Needless to say, the greatest danger encountered was that from a boy or nervous man with a gun. A practical joker might in a moment's outburst of misplaced enthusiasm, have furnished wholesale Cheap Electricity For Toronto. Although there have been several great projects for utilizing power from Niagara to generate electricity on the Canadian side of the boundary, it has been proposed to sell most of the product in the United States. One of the great companies on the other side has a contract to transmit its whole output to the oldest of the American companies. A second Canadian, company has constructed an overhead line across the gorge, and its American representative plans to convey the current to Lockport, Rochester and Syracuse. Before either of these proceedings will be permitted the approval of the United States Government must be secured. Under a law which was passed by Congress a few months ago Canadian electricity can be imported only when the War Department grants a license. The necessary applications were made not long ago to Secretary Taft, but he has not yet announced his decision. At least one of the big Canadian companies which has water wheels and dynamos at the Falls, however, is planning to find its market almost exclusively in Canada. Its line is already completed to Toronto. It really has two lines, one to be kept in reserve for use in case of accident. In order to test the transmission cables the electricity was switched on for a few minutes one night last month. The station in Toronto at which the wires terminate had been lighted previously with current from another source, but on the evening of the recent test every lamp was extinguished as a preliminary to the tragedy and more than one member of the hunting party understood it. Nothing was killed, however; not even the story. For weeks that mysterious animal was forced to appear at all sorts of inconvenient places, not infrequently at the call of intelligent citizens, whose sincerity was not to be doubted. Many a child went to and from school, an active sufferer from the stories it had heard, while not a few mothers saw their children start out from their homes with pangs of uncertainty not unlike those experienced in pioneer days. The animal was never found; the story never killed. It finally lasted longer and traveled further than 15 usual, and grew a little with each mile of travel. Not always is the error found on this side of the ledger. Some years ago a party of young men brought a coon they had been following to bay somewhere within the ample shades of a big poplar out in the open field. Knowing that the owner of the tree would not permit them to cut it, they sat down under it and patiently waited until morning, when they could see to shoot. Great was their surprise when the break of day revealed to them the fact that they had over their heads not a coon, but a wildcat of undubuted geniusness and generous proportions. The owner of the tree afterward assured them that he would gladly have permitted them to cut it for the sake of seeing what would have happened when the wildcat dropped among them. Doubtless the residents of a certain hamlet in northern Mercer County, Pennsylvania, still remember the excitement produced by a bear seen a number of times in the vicinity of a notoriously timid man's house. Usually the apparition came to him at night, but the tracks never failed to remain in the road where it had crossed, vivid daylight reminders. Once or twice, when unarmed, he encountered and was chased by the animal in the day time. Only a small part of the people who heard the story knew at the time, perhaps it may be news to some of them even now, that the marrauder was a fake bear, arranged and manipulated by a young man and a few confederates. In the midst of a mild "wild animal" epidemic a prosperous farmer heard a noise at his barn one night, and hurrying on his boots, went out to investigate. Just outside the door a gust of wind extinguished his lantern, and setting it down, he stepped inside and swung the door shut after him, intending to feel his way to the stables, which would be moderately well lighted by the moon shining through the windows. Almost the first step sent him headlong into the middle of the barn floor; he had tripped over some animal crouching where no animal had any right to be. There was a rush and scurry of feet, in which the farmer took a vigorous part, never stopping until he tumbled out into the open air and banged the door after him. Then he shouted to his family to bring a light and a gun; he wanted to save his stock from the intruder. The gun reached him first, and impatient lest the beast should escape or do further damage before the light arrived, he cautiously opened the door and took careful aim midway between the two eyes he could see glaring at him in the half light across the floor. Just as he was about to pull the trigger the light of a lantern fell upon the crouching beast and revealed—one of his own coils that had slipped its halter, and tired of its investigations, finally laid down where its master soon afterward stumbled upon it. Needless to say, the colt was as badly frightened as the farmer by the encounter, but of course little knew the peril it was in while the old man was planning its destruction.—Forest and Stream. next step. When other switches were operated the lights all flashed up again, under the influence of current from Niagara. A sufficient length of time having clapped to show that the line and other equipments ware in perfect order, the current from the Falls was shut off. We have seen no announcement of the date for beginning business, but everything is now ready.—New York Tribune. Courts Can't Restrain Libel. That a newspaper publisher cannot be restrained by Courts of Equity from publishing matter alleged to be libelous was the gist of a decision landed down by Judge John I. Mullins, of the Denver (Col.) District Court, when he dissolved the temporary restraining order issued by him two weeks ago against the Dally Mining Record, of this city, at the instance of G. G. Rice, a Goldfield (Nev.) mining promoter. If libelous matter is published in a newspaper the only recourse of the person or institution claiming to be damaged lies in an action for damages at law, ruled Judge Mullins.

LATEST FORM OF THE FIRELESS COOKER. COOKING WITHOUT FIRE. BY GEORGE J. JONES. The fireless cookstove is not exactly a new thing, for its economies and conveniences have been known to the people of an out-of-the-way portion of the German Empire. Only a year or two ago some ladies of that country had their attention attracted to the fireless cookstove, and they became so interested in it that an organization was effected for the purpose of making the women of the country generally familiar with it. In this manner one of the United States representatives in Germany heard of the scheme, and reported on it. This attracted general attention in this country, and the supply of Government pamphlets was soon exhausted. The system is based on the fact that a perfectly insulated vessel conti the hay box be experimented with by the Commissary Department. This was done at Fort Riley, Kansas, under the direction of Captain M. S. Murray with the assistance of Latrobe Bromwell, instructor of the school of army cooks at that place. These experiments were very successful, and the scheme was heartily indorsed, A box suitable for army use has been designed, and it is likely some great changes in the conduct of the company kitchen are about to be made. This method of food preparation has been recently made available for domestic use by the introduction of the cooking cabinet. In the main this is nothing more or less than a well-constructed box of oak, thoroughly insulated to keep in the heat. It is thirty-six inches long, fifteen wide and seventeen deep. It is equipped with three enamel vessels of a construction especially designed for this character of work, having covers which are clamped on to further facilitate the retention of the heat. The lids of these vessels are held on by a revolving bar-lock taining meat or vegetables and a proper supply of water will continue LATEST FORM OF THE to cook for a long while after having once been brought to the boiling point. The operation of cooking proceeds just the same as if it were directly over the fire, except that it is much slower. This apparatus was known as the hay box in Germany, and consisted of a crudely constructed box, which was insulated in that it was lined with some cloth or other material which happened to be convenient and then filled with hay. The article to be cooked was placed over a fire for a short time, a minute or two, and then quickly transferred to the hay box, where it was placed in a sort of pocket made in the hay. Here the cooking continued slowly without any further application of heat or any attention. The subject was called to the attention of the President, and he directed device, which not only makes a hermetically tight joint, but also acts as a handle. One of these vessels is of eight quarts capacity, and the other two four quarts each. After the viands in the kettle have been exposed to the heat of the stove until boiling has taken place for a minute or so, the lid is clamped into place, and the whole pot transferred to one of the pockets of the cooker. The actual time consumed in the preparation of food by this process is about double that ordinarily required, but the food may be left in very long and will not be overdone. The saving of fuel resulting from the use of the cooker is considerable, and the burdens of the housewife are about halved.—Scientific American. Novel Laundry Record. Metal to Replace Nickel. A new metal called mousel, which is expected to cause something of a stir in the industrial world, is being produced at the works of the Canadian Copper Company at Sudbury. It consists of a compound of copper, nickel, iron and one or two other minerals which are found in the district, and its importance lies in the fact that it is much less costly than nickel, is less liable to rust and will THE FIRELESS COOKER. serve all the-purpose that is served by that metal in the industrial world. The new metal is said to be of equal ductile strength with nickel and to possess all its other essential qualities, but it is not claimed that it would serve the purpose of nickel steel used as armor plate.—American Metal Market. Individual Cup. The latest design of individual communion cup sets include a chalice provided at its bottom with a multiplicity of spouts by which it is possible to fill several dozen cups in one operation by simply placing them in a tray which contains a separate ring or holder for each cup. Some scientists believe, that North America was in contact, during prehistoric ages, with Africa and with Europe, the former connection coming first.

On the thirteenth ult., as will be noted in another column, a number of prominent men of the race gathered in Washington, D. C., to do honor to Hon. W T. Vernon Register of Treasury of the United States, who is one of the truest representatives of the race and is filling his honored position with satisfaction to the department and credit to himself thereby building for the race that which is most essential for progress. The personnel of the men who gathered on this occasion to do him honor, alone, attests to his popularity and the esteem in which he is held. From sheer ability and force of character, Mr. Vernon has won success, step by step to the present pinnicle, and he ascended only by the qualities that denote him a man pure and simple. THE TRIBUNE and the colored citizens of this section share in the esteem and confidence in which this man of destiny is held by the race, the country over. Experience Versus Theory Experience Versus Theory It is distinctly edifying to pit the beautiful house-of-cards "solutions" of the doctrine against the solid, unimpeachable testimony of the man of experience, says the Atlanta Constitution. Here is an illustration which presents many of the enjoyable aspects of that spectacle: In an interview in The Washington, (D C.) Herald, Mr. J. W. Hyde, a successful lumberman of Jacksonville, Fla., says: "When I was in Washington a few months ago I told a Washington Herald reporter, as one who had been a long time accustomed to handling Negro laborers that I regarded them as the best workers in the world. I said then, and now repeat, that I would not give one black man in the lumber camps of the south for three Italians or three of any other foreigners. Well, to my astonishment, this little talk of mine was copied in nearly every newspaper in the south, and a good many in the north. I got at least fifty letters about it from people I had never heard of, most of them agreeing with me and only one taking sharp dissent. This last said he favored deporting the Negroes and took up fourteen pages of letter paper giving reasons for his theory. "It is too idle to talk—this policy of deportation. The Negroes are here, and they are going to stay mostly in the south, where they are needed. We can't get along without them, and for one I don't want to try. If Senator Tillman will give the country a rest—let up on his negrophobia—the so-called race problem will settle itself." Where he has not yielded to the call of vagabondia or become a vagrant, there is no more thoroughly competent manual laborer in the world. It is only as he threatens to become thriftless, lazy and unreliable that his monopoly on certain of the south's occupations is in imminent jeopardy. With the concluding sentence of Mr. Hyde's interview coincide almost unreservedly. He aptly characterizes the amazing folly of the doctrine of deportation. His blunt excoriation of Senator Tillman's inflammatory utterances breathes refreshingly of common sense. He might have gone further and including other individuals north and south, whose chief stock in trade is reckless and incessant agitation of a complicated and always sinister subject. It must also be understood that there is a vast contrast between "agitation" as practiced in the manner we have described and calm clear discussion conducted with justice and moderation. The former is unqualifiedly mischievous. There is at least hope of progress and tranquilization in the latter. Mr. Hyde has handled Negro laborers. He knows their strong and weak points. His opinions are founded on positive knowl edge and not on academic theories. Compare his expressions with those of the "professional" lecturer, pamphleteer or negro baiter. You will be treated to the amusing and enlightening spectacles to which reference is made in our opening paragraph. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of Treasury, Banquetted. On January 30, there was a most representative gathering in Washington to do honor to Hon. W. T. Vernon, the able, efficient and popular Register of the Treasury of the United States. The Record gives the following write-up of the banquet : It is not often that a body of men representing widely divergent opinions and hailing from different sections of a large commonwealth assemble together in perfect harmony of thought and action. Such a circumstance is only possible when there exists some central figure: some common purpose which will serve as an axis around which all elements can revolve in perfect union. Nor is it possible for any ordinary personality or sectional interest to effect a harmonious blending of elements representing an entire race or nation. When the pessimist and the optimist; the radical and the conservative; are drawn together on common ground, we may safely assume that the magnet possesses no little power of attraction. The assemblage of Negroes which met at the Odd, Fellow's Hall Jan. 30, was representative of the best element of the race from all sections, gathered together for the purpose of showing their appreciation and esteem for Hon W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury. the banquet held in his honor will certainly pass into history as one of, if not the most memorable of its kind ever held in the city of Washington, not only to the colored people of the District but to those throughout the nation. There is but little doubt that the attitude of representative men of the race as expressed on this occasion reflects the growing sentiment among the colored people of the entire country that the Hon. W. T. Vernon is a true leader of his race. He came to the National Capital practically unknown to people, of this section of the country. When it is considered that he is now only thirty-five years of age, it is not surprising that older heads doubted his ability to "make good" in his new role. And why not? It was the first instance of the elevation of a youthful member of his race to the highest sand best Federal office given to a Negro. All doubts now, as to the wisdom of the President's selection have been dispelled, for Mr. Vernon has made good both officially and personally. A man of dignity and magnetic personality, his democratic attitude towards his fellows is refreshing to the Washington social and political atmosphere. He possesses great perseverance, independent spirit of thought and action. He is a man possessing a high degree of ability and an abundance of good common sense. Viewing the man from all angles he bears the marks of a man of destiny. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. The demonstrated capacity of Mr. Vernon to shoulder the political responsibilities, which confront him should be a source of great pleasure to those throughout the country, who supported him and all the race should respond to the sentiment expressed by these representatives of the race who delight in doing honor to the man who grows in favor daily as men know him better. The only ship in which we can safely sail has well been described in one of the speeches of the evening "the ship of Race Unity." The banquetters were called to order by Dr. E. W. Lampton, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, who as Chairman of the Executive Committee welcomed the guest and visitors. The gavel used by Dr. Lampton is historic, in that it was made from the timber from a part of the house, in Chatham, Canada where John Brown, another distinguished Kansan held his famous Congress to formulate his plans for the attack upon Harper's Ferry. Hon. W. L. Houston, Grand Master of Odd Fellows acted as toast-master and the following were the speakers : Dr. W. L. Board, of Ohio; Ex Consul John L. Walker of New York; Hon. Richard T. Greener of New York; Judge E. M. Hewlett, Washington, D. C.; Prof. L. B. Moore, Dean of Howard University; Judge Robert H. Terrell, Washington, D. C.; Dr. A. M. Curtis, Chicago; Rev. W. H. Brooks, Washington, D. C.; Maj Robt. Moton, Washington. D. C. and Recorder of Deeds, John C. Dancy. The crowning event was in the introduction and response of the guest of honor, Register Vernon The Record says: When Hon. Mr. Vernon rose to respond the audience stood on masse and cheered for several minutes. His opening remarks showed that he was deeply touched by this testimonial given in his behalf by the citizens of Washington and the citizens of the states represented here. Known as he is an the Demothenease of his race he proved beyond question worthy of the name. Mr. Vernon, speaking at some length, said in part: "I realize that here tonight, we have in you, that, of brain and character fitted to fill any place to which fortune may elevate you—to perform any duty which fate may assign" and again "It will be a splendid day for the race when the leaders shall lose sight of minor differences and agreed upon broader lines which make for the common good. To say that we should all think alike on public policies is to argue against nature or to imply a blind fatality which abject subservience to one man [would mean; but that, on the essential we should agree no one will 'deny.' He cautioned against intemperate criticism which we at times heap upon each other. He urged unity of purpose and unity of thought exhorting his people to emphasize the right and the better things which the Negro has done and closed saying, "when trials, the disheartenings and the misunderstandings which now obtain shall know the oblivion which is always the part of wrong, equal and exact justice will be accorded to all men." The Next Colored state Fair. The prospects for the next Colored State Fair are very encouraging. President R. R. Wright is receiving letters from prominent men answering him of their hearty co-operation in the effort to make the second State Fair a greater success than the first. Mr. Deal L. Jackson, one of the vice presidents of the Fair and also one of the most extensive colored planters in the State writes that he will carry a large exhibit to the next fair. Mr. Alex Toles, a prominent business man of Columbug, Ga. and chair man of the local fair committee write as follows: 'I will do all in my power in making the next fair a big success. I am one who think you did well and am confident you will do better next time. May God help you to stand as you have heretofore." Dr. I. N. Fitzpatrick of Union Point, writes as follows: "Dr.R. R. Wright, Dear Sir, Your letter informing me of my election to membership on the general executive committee of the Fair is before me. I gratefully accept the honor, and assure you that I will do my whole duty. Let us forge a head." At the meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary Committee which was held at the St. Philip's A. M. E. church on the 4th, all of those present expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the work of the Fair, unanimously endorsed the management and pledged themselves to put forth every effort to assist in the next Fair. All those present at the meeting vote to let their dividends remain to be credited to them upon the books of the Association. Alexander & Maglzine.

Progress and prosperity are attending the old historic Fort Church as not before in many years. Peace and harmony reign supreme: Friction, etc., are but relics of the past. The pastor is loved and reverenced by the entire membership, regardless to former friction. The best of feelings exist between the pastor and the officials in a general way; it is agreed to by all that Dr. May is the godly appointed leader for us. Sunday was a day to be long remembered here. The funeral of Mrs. Frances McHardy was attended at 12:15. Dr. May was assisted by Rev. R. H. Thomas of College, Ga., and Rev. F. A. Curtright. A. B. of Macon, Ga. This was one of the largest funerals from this church in many years. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Ann Moorehead, who died in Trenton, New Jersey, was attended from this church at 4:30; this funeral was largely attended also. These were two of the oldest members of this church, having been members for over half a century. The pastor preached at 8:30 o'clock to an unusually large crowd. The prayer meetings are rapidly building up, Members are joining regularly. Some who were excluded years ago are returning. The Sunday School is progressive and new steps are being taken for its benefit. The sick llist numbers over 40, this week, with two expected deaths at any moment. The pastor had preached 6f, funerals since April 15th; 25 not members of this church. Pastor May is invited to run revival meetings at Darlen, Ga., Dayton, Ohio., Philadelphia, Penn, and New Orleans, La. Remember the rally the third Sunday in this month. The subject, "Love and jealousy" was being discussed last Sunday morning by Pastor May, but he was suddenly stopped by the arrival of the corpse; but hundreds of people requested him to re-preach it; this he consented to do and will preach it the third Sunday inst., at 11 a. m. Everybody is invited to hear it. Communion to-morrow at 3:30. The pastor's morning subject, "Crossing the Red Sea." The following subjects will be discussed from one Sunday to another, "An Age of Swindlers." "Happiness of the Godly." Divine Authority. "The Light of the Cross." The Baptist Union Meeting of the city will meet here to-morrow at 3 p. m. All are invited. St. Philip's Dots. Our members took the advantage of the pleasant weather last Sunday and it was also communion Sunday, therefore there was a large crowd at each service. Rev. Lindsay preached at 11 a. m. His discourse was in keeping with the day. One adult was also baptized at this service At 3 p. m. the Holy communion was celebrated. At 8 p. m. Rev. Lindsay preached a soul stirring sermon to a large congregation. At the conclusion of the sermon a donation of Ten Dollars was presented to St. Philips New Brick Church fund from the Household of Ruth No. 118 by Mr. W. H. Burgess, this will go down on the roll of honor which will be placed in the new church. All lodges, societies, clubs and all organizations are invited to do the same. Rev. Lindsay asks officers and the members and friends to keep in mind that the first big rally for St. Philips New Brick church will come on the Fourth Sunday in this month. Every male member is to pay ten dollars and every female five dollars. There will also be a roll of honor and every member and friend that pay from five dollars to ten dollars his or her name will be placed on the roll of honor and every person that pays an additional five dollars a star will be placed at the end of their names. Our congregation have out grown their present edifice and the pastor and officers are compelled to erect a new church and it is the duty of every member to do their utmost in the coming rally.

Some of the roads in New York State are a disgrace to this Commonwealth. Many an automobile tour has been given up because of their impassable condition. Charles Gilden and party, of Chicago, who were making a tour of this country, became stranded between Albany and Syracuse, and had to give up the trip. Mr. Gilden pronounced the roads in Central New York the worst he had encountered in the civilized world. The poor highways in this State have not only been a deterrent to tourists on pleasure bent, but they have been the one great obstacle to farming. Many a farmer who could have made a financial success of his efforts has had to succumb to the poor highways, which prevented his getting his goods to market. There is a striking difference between the farmers up the State and the prosperous, agrarians on Long Island. For years the Long Island roads have been famous. This has enabled the farmers to get their produce promptly to New York in all kinds of weather. The railroads up the State have always been the antagonists of good roads. Railroads find sharp competitors in good roads, as they do in canals. Attempts have been made for years to get good roads, and some time ago $50,000,000 was appropriated for that purpose. It will fall to the lot of the newly-elected Democratic State Engineer and Surveyor, Frederick Skene, to inaugurate a system of good roads throughout the State. The appropriation of $50,000,000 will be supplemented by further appropriations as soon as the first is exhausted. Fortunately for the State and for Mr. Skene, he comes from Queens County, which, as has been said, has the finest roads in the world. The Merrick road is famous all over the United States and abroad. Mr. Skene has built many of those new roads which have been a joy to the pleasure-seeker and an incalculable help to the farmer. He has all his professional life been interested in this one phase of engineering, and he knows all there is to know about it. Being so thoroughly equipped for the position he will be able to expend the large appropriation of $50,000,000 in the most effective manner. He will give to the State value received for every dollar expended—a system of splendid roads that will build up every community through which they pass. It is not expected that Mr. Skene will be able to finish any great system in the two years' term he has just been elected to fill, but those who know him and his work say that so satisfactory will it be that he will have to be continued in office from sheer necessity, and that the Republicans may have to indulse him for that very reason.—New York News. Government Road Experiments. The work of the Office of Public Road Inquiries, in the Department of Agriculture, is primarily educational in character. Its province is to detail engineers and experts to give information and advice. Whenever there is any question as to what road material is best suited for the local conditions, samples of the available materials may be sent to the laboratory of the office, where tests will be made to determine the selection of the best material. In the majority of cases the detail of an engineer or expert to make a preliminary investigation and give advice is all that is required. There are, however, communities where it has been found advisable to supplement advice by a practical demonstration of effective road building. To meet this need the object lesson method was adopted on the following plan: A section of road is selected for improvement, and after the proper surveys and estimates have been made by an engineer of the office, expert foremen and machinery operators are sent out in charge of modern road-building machinery, and the local officials are taught by actual demonstration every step in the proper construction of a road. Absolutely no expense is incurred by the Federal Government in this work except for the salaries and expenses of the government employees, the local communities being required to furnish the right of way, all common labor, materials, teams, etc., used in the work. The total number of experimental and object lesson roads built under the direction of the office since its organization is ninety-six, the roads being built in twenty-eight States. The materials used in construction were shells, gravel, brick, oil, tar, sand clay, marl, stone, slag and steel track.—The Automobile.

Antiseptic Barber Shop. Antiseptic methods are becoming popular with the country barbers in England. A man dropped into a village shop the other day and was shaved. Then came a wash by a sponge whose odor suggested the morgue. The victim's face burned like fire. "What on earth have you got on that sponge?" he demanded. "Ah," answered the villager, proudly, waving the sponge in the air, "that's carbolic acid. It's so safe!" THE LAST RESORT.

The city man sojourning at Kineo, grown tired of the ridiculous fashion of donning evening clothes for dinner in a backwoods hotel, fancies he would like to strike into the woods and "rough it" for a white. Whereupon he hires a guide, with whom all the arrangements are naturally left—the buying of provisions and supplies, the selection of the route, etc.—and paddles away in a cance to camp out. By a happy chance they reach the comfortable farm house on Chesun-cook Lake, the first afternoon, where since there will be no mosquitos to bother, and every comfort of home to be had, the guide suggests they put up for the night. The next morning it is a little rough on the lake, perhaps; so they wait until after dinner for the water to become smooth enough to paddle across. Dinner at the farmhouse! In the afternoon they proceed leisurely and, by another happy coincidence, reach the comfortable cabin at Mud Pond at about sundown, where they put up for the night: After a week of this sort of "camping out," the sportsman, being guided from one comfortable camp to another, returns to Kineo, presents his unused supplies and $20 to $30 worth of fishing tackle to the guide. Then he goes home and tells wonderful stories of his adventures in the Maine woods. William Hickox In Outing. "Klcking the Bucket." When a person dies nowadays, we says in common parlance that he "kicked the bucket." The origin of this phrase is unusual. It alludes to the way a slaughtered pig is held up by a bent piece of wood, technically called a "bucket," being fastened behind the tendons of its hind legs, in order to suspend the carcass. Other authorities assert that "kicking the bucket" orignated from a method of committing suicide by standing on a bucket, while adjusting the noose, and then kicking the bucket away—New York Globe.

Portugal's Plant is the Best in Europe and Makes Money. Charles W. Paiflow, a proofreader in the Government Printing Office in Washington, has been traveling with his eyes open, and makes this report of what he saw in public print-shops abroad: "The English Government is slow in making changes, the public printer letting its work out to private contractors, Eyre & Spottswood being the principal ones. In 1905 the printing done for the English Government cost over four million dollars. The British colonies have their own printing plants and do tacir own work. Canada having given up the contract system in 1889. The Canadian office favors unionism outright, stipulating that no workman can enter unless he is a member of the union of his trade. Australia also has its own plant. "France has been doing its own printing since 1558, and is said to possess 2300 different faces of type. The French claim their establishment is the best equipped in the world. It is said that as Pope Plus VII, visited it a hundred years ago, each of the 150 presses in the French printing office printed the pater-noster in a different language. Altogether there were used on this occasion seventy-five European, forty-eight Aslatic and twelve African languages. The French establishment employs about 1300 compositors and its expenses for the year 1903 amounted to seven and a half million francs. "The printing office of Germany employs 1800 persons and has been running since 1871. The employees serve under civil service rules similar to those in the United States. After ten years of service the employees receive, if invalid, a regular pension. In 1904 6,450,000 marks was appropriated for running the German plant, of which 2,225,000 was for labor. It operates its own type foundation, turning out 50,000 pounds of type annually. "The Government printing office of Austria was established in 1804, burned in 1884, and a seven-story structure erected in 1891 in its place. It cost two million florins and employs 1600 persons. In general appearance it, greatly resembles the printing office in Washington. The employees of the Austrian office are also pensioned and receive sick benefits the same as the Germans." "Russia has a printing office in St. Petersburg doing both Government and private printing, employing about 500 people and running at an annual expense of 350,000 rubles. There are also printing offices in the provinces operated by the central Government. "To Portugal belongs the honor of having the best equipped printing office in Europe. It does all the Government printing and also private work, and not only pays its working expenses, but contributes a large sum to the National Treasury. After fifteen years of service its employees receive a pension, if incapacitated for labor, of one-half average pay, progressing annually with two per cent until after forty years of service, when they claim full pay. The total receipts for the year 1903 amounted to 230,000,000 reis, and the expenses to 225,000,000 reis. "Switzerland has no printing plant, but spends about $150,000 a year for its public printing. Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Sweden all let their printing out at private contract." As the Twig is Bent. That there is a startling difference between the temper of the rising generation and that of the youth whose young ideas shot up according to the teachings of Mrs. Hannah More and Sanford and Merton, has recently been proved by a little seven-year-old girl who was laboriously spelling her way through a reading lesson. "Always speak the truth," she said, "and obey your parents." "Be gentle and quiet. Never slam the door and shout and scream a-bout the house." "At the ta-ble eat slowly; not in a greed-y man-ner like a plg." Suddenly the little girl shut the book with a portentbang and announced with firmness and decision: "I'm not going to let any old third reader boss me like that!"—St. Paul Pioneer Press. Imperial Geography. I was very much amused at the little known of Australia by the average Englishman. The children out here have a far better grip of Great Britain than your youngsters have of Australia. I remember coming down the Strand on an omnibus, and on asking some passing information an old lady said: "Be you a Canadian, sir?" I said: "No, Australian, and from Sydney," and she was quite surprised I did not know her son, in the tramway service at Adelaide. (Adelaide is'er 1000 miles from here).—Letter to London Dally-Mall. Radium Not Defined. Prof. Henry E. Armstrong, the distinguished London scientist, has joined Lord Kelyin in a protest against the proposition submitted to the British Association that the production of helium from radium has established the fact of the evolution of one element into others.

Knock-out Blow. The blow which knocked out Carbottia was a revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. S stomach punches were thrown in to worry and worry the fighter, but if a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing hope to the public a parallel fact; that the stomach is the most vulnerable organ out of the prize ring as well as in it. We protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs, but the stomach we are utterly indifferent to, until disease finds the solar plexus and knocks us out. Make your stomach sound and strong by the use of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and you protect yourself in your most vulnerable spot. "Golden Medical Discovery" cures "weak stomach" indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, thin and impure blood and other diseases of the organs of direction and nutrition.

In Nasal Catarrh it is well to cleanse the passages with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy fluid while using the "Discovery" as a constitutional remedy.

A story is told of a New York city car conductor who had been in the ministry, and who retained some of his former ways of speech in his new calling. He had been at the front of the car collecting fares, and when he returned to his platform a well disposed person told him that a man had boarded the car at Houston street and had found a place inside. The conductor stepped inside the doorway and ran his mild gaze up and down the car, but could not be sure which of the tightly packed passengers was the late arrival. "Will the gentleman who got on at Houston street please rise!" he asked calmly. The gentleman rose involuntarily, and with a bow and a "Thank you!" the conductor collected his fare. Youth's Companion. A. Destructive Collision. The servant girl question is a result of the collision of two "won'ts"—the "won't give up the feudal traditions of the housewife," and the "won't give up her dignity" of the American working woman. One woman's "won't" is usually enough to break up any engagement, and here are two women's "won'ts." The explanation seems to be ample—even redundant.—New York Mall. Just now it is quite easy to join the chorus of moral reform. But it is quite as difficult now as it ever was to be honest, truthful and just, maintains the Christian Register. MAX BE COFFEE That Causes All the Trouble. When the house is afire, it's like a body when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk, but time to act—delay is dangerous — remove the cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," says a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fond of it I could not give it up. I paltered wifh my appetite, and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone—my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action that I feared it would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the old kind of coffee and began to use Postum Food Coffee, and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel, like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee."

HENDERSON, THE FAMOUS DIVINE Subject: A Separated People. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "A Separated People," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Titus 2:14, "A people for His own possession." He said: essence of the Gospel found. Those who are princes in the Kingdom of Jehovah are men of single purpose, of unsullied devotion to the truth, of unified motive. There is no double dealing in the heart of man who really lives within Jesus. He does busi- The mission of Jesus Christ to men was to reveal to them the fulness of divine truth unto the establishment of the Kingdom of God in their hearts. Those who are citizens of that kingdom are in a very lively sense an "elect race; a royal priesthood; a holy nation; a people for God's own possession." To serve God well and to the end is not child's play but a man's work. To swear allegiance to the King of Kings is to cut loose from sin and to enter into the warfare against Satan upon terms of decided and continuous opposition and resistance. The fight against evil-is not a sham battle, but a bitter struggle to the death, with "no quarter" for the slogan. Constructively, the Kingdom is for men who are working up toward godliness entire through the yielding of self to do the will of the Father. The members of the Kingdom are men who are not the servants of the world. Citizenship is conditioned upon loyalty to revealed truth and upon growth in the appropriation and realization of divine verities. If there is any one thing that needs emphasis in this day and time it is the fact that Christians are different from those who serve the Baals of the present. The difference is not torsional or sartorial or educational, but vital. It depends not upon the cut of the hair, or upon the fashion of clothes, or upon the lack or abundance of schooling a man may have experienced, but upon his manner of life. To walk our streets and distinguish Christians from the men who are not brethern of Christ (except they be marked with the plain, facial, disreputable evidences of sin) is not easy. The thief and the church trustee may each be shaven in the same shop and both be immaculately neat. The same style of ready-to-measure garments may array the deacon and the crook. Everywhere we may find men who under similar or identical exteriors yet harbor and foster totally opposite ideals, motives and thoughts. It is not my purpose to intimate that in many an instance it is not perfectly easy to mark good men from evil. The lineaments of sin sooner or later are impressed indelibly upon the faces of those who lead lives of shame, no matter what sort of clothes they wear or how neat they may be. Contrariwise, the purity of Christ is revealed in the countenance of him who lives near to God. Even a child may point a drunkard by his rags and a priest by his garb. These differences are patent. But it is not of the difference in the clothes, or cash balance at the bank, or the mental culture of Christians and non-Christians that I wish to speak. The difference between those who love Christ and those who care nothing about Him is not in externalities but in fundamentals. We are concerned not so much with what a man eats or wears, as with what he thinks, with the motives by which he is actuated, with the principles by which his actions are tested and justified, with the sirt of soul life he lives. The possession of a Christ inspired soul, energized by God blessed notives and aspirations and ideals is what differentiate Christians from the world. Titus tells us in our text that we have been redeemed by Christ that we may be set apart "a people for His own possession," and St. Peter informs us also that we are "a people for God's own possession." These two statements state much truth in a nutshell and lead us to inquire what manner of men "God's own" are. The Christian is a man of fine principle. Paul tells us that all things are lawful unto us, but that all things are not expedient. The man of principle acts, not that he may be insured in the exercise and prerogatives of his personal rights only, but in order that the welfare of society may be enhanced. He inquires not what are my rights, but what are my obligations? His chief concern is not to gain all that is coming to him in a material way, but to live that the sum of human happiness shall be increased. The Christian is the last man to insist upon his right to enjoy anything that in itself is harmless and that in his hands may result in no wrong, that in its influence upon other men may lead to their souls' destruction. The worldly man on the other hand, is chiefly anxious that he shall reap his share of all things. The influences, conscious or unconscious, of his actions weigh little upon his heart. He is not worried about the life of his brother, because to him his brother is a law unto himself. I am not only my own but my brother's keeper, is a part of the philosophy of men of principle alone. The Christian would rather be right than to win; the worldly man would be right if convenient and anything to get the victory. The Christian cuts the way for the onward movement of the world with the axe of truth; the worldly man marches with the ranks, content with conditions as they are. Those who love Christ give the world not what they wish always but what they ought to have; they point us to what we ought to be and what by the grace of God, if we cared, we might be. The worldservers keep their ears to the ground and give us only what we say we need. The difference is only one of principle. Christians are principled, finely and highly; the men who serve mammon are unprincipled and irresponsible. Christians are men of pure motives and of high ideals; worldly men are not. Where there are noble, uplifting, sanctifying motives there is the essence of the Gospel found. Those who are princes in the Kingdom of Jehovah are men of single purpose, of unsullied devotion to the truth, of unified motive. There is no double dealing in the heart of man who really lives within Jesus. He does business on the square and is not merely waiting his chance to knife you. If he does good, he does it not that he may secure praise or profit thereby, but in order that he may be and bring a blessing into a needy life. The protestations and pronunciamentos of the Christian, his affirmed convictions and declared ideas, are not different from the inner desires and beliefs that mold his life. The eye of the Christian is single and when he looks at you you may read thine the deepest motives of his soul. There is no mud there. But how different are the motives of the men of the world. Lacking principle, it is well to be wary of their motives. The man who is continually looking out for himself may, not unjustly, be suspected of having an axe to grind. His chief aim is to throw dust in your eyes that you may not see through him. His ways are devious and his motives double and dangerous. But the greatest thing that differentiates the Christian from the world is the soul life. The man who puts his trust in temporalities has little of that and generally wants more of it. Being chieftly zealous to get a full store of this world's goods he hasn't time to waste over the inner man and intangible realities of life. His time is preoccupied by the present. The Christian, however, is not so. Living a full, rich, free, helpful life in the world, he yet realizes that after all the soul life is the thing. His chief interest in the material things of life lies in the fact that through them his soul may find expression. To live near to God is his first desire and endeavor, for he knows that then the basis of life is sure. Ah, yes, there is a 'difference between God's men and Bellal's. There is a sharp line' of demarkation between the life of selfishness and the life of selflessness. On the one hand we have an army of pure minded; clean hearted, noble acting men and women; and opposed to them a host of unprincipled self-seckers. The man who is clothed upon by Christ cannot be happy and do wrong; the servant of Satan thinks it happiness if so he only gets on top. The Christian views his actions in the light of eternity and considers their everlasting consequences. I am not anxious that Christians should be labelled by the clothes they wear. I am solicitous that their deportment should mark them as Christ's; that when they open their mouths men shall know without any guesswork upon whose side they stand; that when the rub comes between wrong and righteousness they shall stand up and be counted with the hosts of heaven. - The Common Denominator. It seems to be taken for granted by a number of writers that the only way of rendering the Gospel of Christ acceptable to men is to show its likeness to other religions, and to try to find the common denominator between them all. This is a line of defense with which we are becoming familiar; but it does not require much foresight to see that it is doomed to fail. It is one thing to show (what is very necessary to be shown) that the Gospel is the perfection of all light and truth in the world; it is quite another to attempt to make all the light and truth equal. There is no need to disparage the broken rays of light and the partial morsels of truth which are found outside Christ, but the fact remains that they are broken and partial at the very best. The Gospel has hitherto achieved its victories, by insistence upon what is unique in it, and this special note must be insisted upon, if the victories are to continue. —London Christian. Prayer a Harmonizer. Peter had a praying band about him; for ten days the disciples continued in prayer. When the preacher stands as Peter did, surrounded by a praying church, the result is a multitude of converts, steadfastness in church life, self-denial and gladness. Peter's sermon was born of prayer. A praying people cannot quarrel; strife, malice, back-biting—open springs that feed church quarrels—are dried up by the south wind of prayer. A church on its knees looking to Christ, overlooks much. Ho that studies the stars has no time to criticise his fellows; the telescope that walls in the planet walls out men. A praying people do not oppose the pastor; molten metal easily takes the shape of the mold set for it; hearts united in prayer conform to the pastor's plans, fill up, and give value to his purposes.—Ram's Horn. No Strength Held in Reserve. Trivial incidents get so engrossing that life becomes unprepared for the great issues. A man gets all absorbed in his business and intends some day to enjoy his home; a woman gets ensnared in the burdensome details of life and loses her peace of mind; and one day some great overwhelming experience of trial or sorrow suddenly attacks such a life, and the life simply surrenders to the unforseen assault, stricken and unprepared, because the strength which ought to have been nurtured for the crisis has been exhausted in the insignificant skirmishes of daily affairs.—F. G. Peabody, D. D. * The Deceptive Fingerpost The most dangerous thing about the path of sin is that many believe it a short cut to happiness.

Eoy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema in Rough Scales, Itching and Infla- tained—Cured by Cuticura. "I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura nis put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies or about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment one disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I hau no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ontment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ontment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ontment and Cuticura Resolvent my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Stemanman, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. X., April 16, 1905."

MONROE DRUG CO., Unionville, Missouri READY FOR DIGGING Oliver Forms Strong Company to Cinch Canal Job. ALL REQUIREMENTS MET Preminent Contractors Compose the Company, Headed by John McDonald as President and Oliver as General Manager. A New York special says: John B. McDonald, the local contractor who constructed the subway, was elected president of the Panama Construction company. This company was formally organized under the laws of the state of New York for the purpose of building the Panama canal in the event that the contract is awarded by the government to William J. Oliver, one of the contractors, and his associates. The other officers elected are first vice president and general manager, W. J. Oliver; chairman of the board, R. A. C. Smith; secretary and assistant treasurer, D. J. Reynolds; treasurer, R. A. Chester. Executive committee, John B. McDonald, W. J. Oliver, John Pierce, R. A. Smith and R. A. Chester. Board of directors, John B. McDonald, John Pierce, Charles H. Ackert, Robert A. C. Smith, Robert A. Chester, George Pierce, Patrick T. Walsh, William H. Sayre, Patrick J. Brennan, George F. Harriman and Robert Russell. Upon adjournment of the meeting, Mr. McDonald announced the formation of the company, and added: "Everything is now ready for the actual work of digging." Mr. Oliver has associated himself with nine well-known contractors and according to Mr. McDonald all the financial requirements of the government have been met. Stevens Makes Statement. Superintendent Fredetick-C. Stevens of the state department of public works returned to Albany, N. Y., Tuesday, from Washington, whither he went to discuss the Panama canal bid of William J. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn., with whom Mr. Stevens has associated himself. Mr Stevens at once issued a formal statement in which he said: "Inasmuch as I am a public official of the state, possibly it may be desirable for me to say that, having been instrumental in bringing together the strongest combination of general and expert contractors to be found in the United States, who are willing to associate themselves with Mr. Oliver and build the Panama canal—as per terms and conditions contained in the bid made by Mr. Oliver, a corporation having been formed under the laws of this state and all the conditions imposed by the government having been compiled with my active connection with the enterprise is at an end." A Washington special says: While consideration is being given to the question of letting the contract for the digging of the Panama canal, the work is going on there at a rapt' pace. A cablegram-received at the war department Tuesday from Chief Engineer Stevens contained the announcement that all previous records had been eclipsed. The dispatch is as follows: "We took out 566,750 cubic yards from Culebra cut in January, about twice the best monthly record made by the French." RAISES WAGES OF EMPLOYEES. Georgia Railroad Company Voluntarily Announces Advance. The Georgia railroad, Tuesday, voluntarily announced an increase of 5 per cent in the wages of all machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths employed on its line. The car workers, who are now on strike demanding increase, claim this action was taken for the purpose or forestalling a sympathetic strike. ALL OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED. Brunswick Steamship Company Holds First Annual Meeting. The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Brunswick Steamship company was held in Brunswick, Ga., Wednesday at the office of the company. These directors were re-elected: H. M. Atkinson, P. S. Arkwright, C. L. Dimon, R. E. Cullinane and W. H. Wright. Later the directors re-elected the same officers with H. M. Atkinson as president. TWO-CENT FARE IN MISSOURI. Law Applies to All Trunk Lines in State and Branches. The Missouri senate Wednesday amended the 2-cent railroad passenger rate bill to apply to all trunk lines and lines leased or owned by trunk lines, and to independent lines over 45 miles long, permitting a rate of 4 cents per mile on independent lines under 45 miles in length. MUST SHARE WHARF. An Alleged Monopoly of the Southern Railway at Brunswick, Ga., Seems in a Fair Way to Be Broken Up. The Bartlett amendment to that portion of the rivers and harbors will appropriating $496,000 for Brunswick, Ga., passed the house Wednesday morning after Judge Bartlett had presented an able argument in favor of his proposition. The amendment is aimed at the Southern railway, and it is believed will eventually compel this corporation to allow the "Nan Elizabeth," the use of wharfage rights at Brunswick. It is provided that the chief engineer, in expending the money at Brunswick, shall inquire and report as to whether any railroad is denying any independent boat line wharfage rights. His report will show beyond question that the Southern is guilty of denying the independent boat line between Macon and Brunswick wharfage rights. Upon this report Congressman Hartlett will base legislation that will kill the monoply thus maintained by the company. When the Brunswick item was reached Wednesday morning Congressman Bafflett, with the consent of Chairman Burton, offered his amendment. He said he had no desire to jeopardize the appropriation for Brunswick, but insisted that thegovernment should not improve harbors, the wharves of which are denied independent boat lines. He then told of the Southern's effort to restrict water competition by denying wharftage rights to the "Nau Elizabeth." Representative Brantley interrupted to say that the independent line had asked the Southern for the use of its wharves free of charge. Mr. Bartlett refuted this statement by reading letters that had passed between himself and the late Samuel Spencer. He showed that Spencer had declined to rent the use of the wharves for any consideration. Chairman Burton took the same view of the question as Mr. Bartlett. He insisted that the government should not improve harbors and allow the railroad companies and wealthy boat lines to stifle competition by denying wharfage rights to independent lines. The Bartlett amendment is an entering wedge for legislation that in the near future will give Macon direct water competition to the sea, and porter freight rates are bound to result. ERRING SENATOR IS FIRED. Richard Morgan Driven from Colorado Senate for Receiving Bribe. Senator Itchard W. Morgan of Boulder county, a republican, was expelled from the Colorado state senate Wednesday afternoon by a vote of 29 to 1. His expulsion was recommended by a majority of a special committee of the senate, which found him guilty of having accepted a bribe. This finding was based on the statement made to the senate in March, 1905, by Morgan himself, who handed to the secretary of the senate $730, which, he declared, had been given him by James M. Herbert and Dantel Sullivan in consideration of his promising to vote for Alva Adams, democrat, for governor, in the Peabody-Adams contest. When the vote on the contest was taken, Morgan voted for Peabody. Morgan failed to appear before the investigation committee when summoned and was not in the senate when his expulsion was decided upon. TO PAY PENALTY OF ASSAULT. Two Men Who Outraged Girl Will Swing from Same Gallows W. R. Fletcher and Guy Lyon, two Logan county, kentucky, prisoners, who have been in jail at Bowling Green since May, 1905, charged with assault upon Mary Gladden, a German girl, were taken to Russellville Wednesday, where they will be hanged on the 15th. The scaffold is arranged for the hanging of both at the same time. A WASTE OF GOOD MONEY. Investigation of Brownville Affair Will Cost $50,000. The senate committee on military affairs is beginning to realize the difficulties in the way of securing witnesses for the Brownsville Inquiry. The discharged soldiers are scattered from Maine to California. Most of them are without funds and the government must advance the money for their fare to Washington to testify. One member of the committee predicted the investigation would cost more than $50,000. MAYOR HAD NO AUTHORITY. Nashville Negroes Protested Against Presentation of "Clansman." Alleging that it will embitter the immediate vicinity and possibly lead to bloodshed, a large delegation of negro preachers at Nashville, Teen., urged Mayor Morris to prohibit the proposed presentation of "The Clausman" at a local theater. They were informed by the mayor that he had no authority to prevent the play being given. Among the Masons. No temple placed on selfishness will stand. If a man is not better for being a Mason, then he is not a good Mason. We should carry out in life the instructions we receive in the lodge room. If you take no interest in your lodge, your lodge is liable to lose interest in you. The self-righteous man has no place in an organization; his place in the wall had better be left a hole. The ritual followed is the outward form that teaches an inward truth, the body that conceals the soul which lives and moves. Freemasonry should strengthen our faith, intensify our love and teach us to exercise charity in word and deed to all mankind. The ancient landmarks must be preserved even when the land has disappeared and only the great peaks of the range are in sight. Masonry requires no duty from a member beyond his ability to perform, or that is incompatible with a strict sense of honor and justice. The Order of the Eastern Star is what its members make it. Each individual number has a work to do. Love is our motto, and we are to pay our tribute of love and labor at the same shrine.—Milton W. Coffin, illincis. Clandestinism Among Cur White Several new Clandestine Lodges have been organized in the city of Chicago as the result of the incorporation papers$^2$ which were secured a few months ago by certain notorious individual s. We are able to give the names of the following: Kensington 798, Ft. Dearborn 890, Damascus 802, Montezuma, George Washington, Columbus, Verdi and LaSalle. Those without numbers are presumably still under dispensation. It will be noted that the numbers are all high ones, indicating an evident intention to deceive by intimation that they have many lodges. It is also well to note that they have taken the names of two of our regular lodges, Kensington and Damascus; it will, therefore, be necessary that our lodges be very careful to note the number of the lodge before examining or admitting unknown visitors.—Masonie Chronicle. The Australian Keystone hits upon the right key in these words: "To run Masonic charity upon the lines of a friendly society is to entirely miss the teachings of the institution. The paramount question, so clearly portrayed in our ceremonies and so thoroughly understood by the brethren of the past generation, now so speedily leaving us, was: 'Is he a Mason?' Noting beyond that. He may have been foolish, negligent, seven worse; but if he is a Mason needing help, he has a right to receive it. We want to get back to the old paths, to get back to the old spirit which animated our foeathers, and not view the question from a huckstering, trading point of view."—Mystic Light. A SOUTHERN WOMAN'S PROTEST. To the Editor of the World: Tired of the continual warture upon the colored race, I, a Southern woman, vigorously shout my protest. Accustomed to their kindly faces from childhood, I fling my praise. The Negro pleads or justice. He does not crave equality. They are graftetu, trusting and sympathetic. As to their patience, it reaches the sublime. They exist against fearful odds. "Put yourself in his place." Hemous crumbs are committed only by the ignorant, hunted, starved desperado. Such creatures frequently degrade every nationality. For every rascally Negro (I am unbiased) score tenfold white demons, the majority arrayed in fine cloth. Day and night they await every opportunity (base human vultures, tail-skinned) to drag innocent girl victims in the meshes of gilded vice. Lavish expenditure on wines, blandishments, deceit are unblushingly used as a means to success. No man can gainsay me. Remove the causes. Stop this un-Christian crusade against the poor, downtrodden black man and educate the "white boss" to show him a better example. faithfully I was rocked in the breast of a saintly old black mammy in, my babyhood. Today her memory I still revere. I cannot resist defending her helpless race. Far, better give him a chance to earn his living than to despise and execute without lawful execution. LOUISIANA.

The next secret of success in m tastes. Let the married pair have co pursuits. One of the happiest wedded in their first youth, who devote their find absolute sympathy. The husband not a college graduate. Out of business every luxury, and may still, after marrying the man she loves, take a positive delight in sacrificing, for his sake, all her previous ways of living; and she will do the honors of the log cabin as if it were an ancestral hall. I am conscious of no stolical aversion to wealth, but I think it is a bad thing for young people to begin with; that they are better off without it, and that it always gives them a sense of security to look back in later life on their day of small means. The next secret of success in marriage is to cultivate sympathy of tastes. Let the married pair have congenial occupations, if not the same pursuits. One of the happiest wedded pairs I know of is a couple, no longer in their first youth, who devote their leisure time to pursuits in which they find absolute sympathy. The husband is a hardworking business man, and not a college graduate. Out of business hours, he and his wife have two leading interests—music, and the study of nature. His special department in the latter field is ornithology, and her's botany. In winter they have the symphony concerts and her piano, on which she is proficient. In summer they are out of doors in all weathers. This unity of purpose is not accidental. Yet far more difficult than the mere harmonizing of opinions is, in married life, the harmonizing of tempers; since, while many people have no opinions worth mentioning on any subject, the humblest or most ignorant can set up a temper. Nothing can deal with tempers except conscience and time. A great aid to the harmonizing of tempers is to study mutually what may be called the equation of preferences—that is, to form a habit of considering, when husband and wife differ about any matter, which of the two has really the most reason to care about it. Many a household jar, which would have prolonged stings behind it, if made a mere test of will and persistence, is settled easily when the equation of preferences is applied to it, and each is ready to make a little sacrifice to save the other from a greater one. But, after all, the ideal success in marriage is to be found in a mutual dependence so deep that it was best described by that fine old Englishman, Mr. Cambridge, who used to say that, after 40 years of married life, the highest happiness of which he could conceive was that of seeing Mrs. Cambridge enter the room. SOUTHERN RAISES WAGET All Conductors, Trainmen and Yard men Get Advance—Payrolls Increased $400,000 Per Year. All conductors, trainmen and yardmen of the Southern railway are to receive an increase in wages aggregating between $350,000 and $400,000 a year. The advance affects hundreds of men. For several weeks General Manager Ackert and other officials of the Southern railway have been in conference with committees representing the men, who urged that because of the increase in living expenses during the past two years they were not able to live on the pay they were then receiving, and they asked for a horizontal increase in wages. A satisfactory adjustment finally was reached at a meeting in Washing ton Tuesday. No flat percentage of increase in wages is given to any class of employees, the increase in every case being dependent entirely upon conditions. The increase amounts, however, from 6 per cent as the minimum to 25 per cent as the maximum. Through freight conductors are to be paid on a basis of $3.18 per hundred miles; local freight conductors, $3.80 per hundred miles; local freight brakemen, $2.15 per hundred miles, and through freight brakemen, $1.75 per hundred miles. Other conductors and trainmen are granted proportionate increases, as are the yard men. THE COLOR QUESTION. To the Editor of the World: Is it not jarring to the nerves and common sense of any white man to be set up as the sole standard by a man whose best reason for claiming inequality between whites and blacks in the texture of the Negro's skin? This is what our noble representative, Senator Tulman, does, whose best argument against the colored man is that "God Almighty made him black." Does such a display of strong reasoning power and fur-sightedness tend to command the respect of any man, black or white? Are we likely to reform the colored race by arbitrarily saying this is that and that is the other? Did ever anybody grow into the maturity of manhood on such nourishment as that? As a white man I feel very sorry indeed for the people who have been kept in bondage for hundreds of years and are now condemned for not being as thoroughly civilized as we claim to be. There is nothing in the universe more real than cause and effect, and, black and white, we all faithfully reflect what we receive. We are nourished or starved according to the mental impressions received and as we are not as individuals self-sustaining we are therefore pitifully dependent upon one another for our existence and growth, physically, mentally and morally. The least we should try to do is not to poison each other. A SUBSCRIBER New York, January 14. CAN'T BEAT THE RAILROADS. Raises in Wages of Employees Will Be Paid by the Shipper. The Chicago Record-Herald prints the following: "By action taken Tuesday the railroads of the country have paved the way to drag back to their coffers the millions they recently handed out to their employees in the way of increased wages. The shipper is to pay. If a vote now being taken on the proposition to increase the rates on nearly all of the main commodities 10 per cent by increasing the minimum which it is permitted to load into a car goes into effect, millions of dollars yearly will be added to the revenues of the trade lines." BUT,LITTLE PROGRESS MADE In Proving That Harry Thaw Was Insane When He Killed White. A New York dispatch says: The task of proving to a jury that Harry Thaw was insane—through heredity and mental stress—when he shot and killed Stanford White was taken up by the defense, Tuesday, but when adjournment was announced later in the afternoon it was the general opinion in the court room that but little progress had been made. TRIBUTES PAID GORMAN. Senators Devote Day to Eulogiums of Late Maryland Statesman. Senators paid tribute Friday to the memory of the late Senator Arthur Pue Gorman of Maryland.
