New York Representative Made a Speech’ in Defense, While Living. “stone Contended That Only Square Deal is Wanted, The Livingston-Burleson resolutlor calling for an Investixation of the;cot ton exchanges of the country, pass ed the honse Monday, with barely a dissenting vote. The work of the lob by for-the cotton exchanges, which Harvie Jordan predicted would be in evidence, did not materialize. Reprgsentalive Fitzgerald of New York made a speech; In Which he de- clared that the New York cotton ex. change was all right, and its cou- tracts and operations perfectly tesit- imate, and that any investigation should be directed not against me ex- change, but against the Southern Cot ton Assockition. His attitude scemed to be that it Was all right for the cotton eactiany: ‘gamblers to depress the price of cot- tén, Luz that for the southern farmer to aitempt to ‘combine, ard refuse to /make a big cotton crop, and tahe the’ ‘same money from & sjaall crop that would foliow from a bumper-crop, was all wrong. He said the complaint set jorith in the fesolution differed from. the usual ‘proteste against corpora- tions, 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 tari in the interest of the producer, and ho did not belicve in tne combination of southern cotton associations in the interest of the pro- ducer. He sald (ie south was so pros perous she was becoming rapacious. John Sharp Willams of Mississtppt 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 uot be continually affected by violent finctuations, He protested that this fixed selling price, such as the South- ern Cotton Association secks to main- tain, was for the best interest of both the producer and the cousumer, the, farmers and the miil men. He sald the sonth is not too prosperous, but is laying “up in fat sears for lean years, putting aside in her years of plenty for the years of need. Hede- clared that Hf Fitzgerald had lived in the davs of Joseph he would have have declared the combination made by Joseph and Pharaoh, at the decis- fon uf God, was an iniquitous trust. Colonel Livingston made a strong, clear prezentation of the facts tut ied up to the introduction of tie res oluiion, saying no fizht on the ex- changes was Intended, but the move- ment was simply against some of the rules and methods. He said; “When they come to honest cou- tracts, and cease te “use the ex changes to control prices, and ob- struct interestate and foreign com- merce, the object of the framers of the resolution Would be attained. Ail they wanted was the square deal.” In conclusion, Col. Livingston saic: “The cotton producers for .hirly years have struggied for a square Jeal In marketing cotton, handicap ped by the obstinate interference and manipulation on the part of the cot ton ¢xchanges, We hare begged ior relief, and our appeals have been reated with silent contempt. Recent- y_ when” we appealed to jone of the sreat departments of the government for relief, we were threatened and jaughed at by the Nev York cotton xchange. We were threatened with Wbel suils and subsequent {mprison- ment. We appealed for the adoption yf this resolution believing it will be » starter at least, and result in tho | otton farmer belng given a square leal.”” MILLIONS” UNLAWFULLY TAKEN From Southern States in Shape of Cotton Taxing During War.

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.

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.

Six persons, all miners, were killed and twelve or more injured in a wreck of a coal train on the Northwestern railway, near Des Moines, Iowa, Monday. The accident was due to the car in the middle of the rtrain leaving the track and ditching the cars behind it. The train had on board about 50 miners.

SOME WILD ANIMAL BOGIES. the more thickly settled districts ha! gradually turned the romance o sportmanship Into an indiscriminate slaughter of everything that lives by the young hero worshiper, whc seems to imagine that the destruc tion of an inoffensive chipmunk ir some way throws around his ows shoulders the mantle of valor Witt which tradition clothes his ancestors To round out these encounters inta tales that bear the telling sometime: taxes the ingenuity of even those inventive young heroes; but their task is fortunately Hghtened by the activity with which the public swal- lows the most Indicrous rumors that promise something of a nelghbor- hood sensation. , The recent killing of @ pet cinnamon bear near Con. noaut Lake, Pennsylvania, by a Grove City tyro is one more 1lus- tration of this senseless and un- reasoning panic, something in which the true hunter, with the courage of the forest upon him, {s 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 ex- citable residents hear, see or tmas- ine an unusual presenge; 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 considex 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 wanderer’ are sud- denly deprived of their pet compan- ion and means of livelihood: Not all “scares” terminate in an animal tragedy that draws attention so entirely from the Judfcrous 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 ant- mal was to be expected than a coon or fox. The story was hardly credit- ed at first, but during the next few weeks at least a dozen diferent pedple had a similar experience elther a night or, in a few instances, in broad daylight. Some recognized a mountain Mon; 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 finlly missed a sheep. A dead calf that had been left un- buried was found to be mutilated; then the carrying off of full-grown cattle was one of the strange visi- tor’s reported pastimes, With the possibility of such a vist tant among them, even those who disbelleved the stories became inter- ested, especially as the group of wit- m&sses included some of the most solid ad conservative people. It seemed only the part of duty to rid the nelghborhood of such a danger- ous marauder, and an entire village, under the leadership of a good cftt- zen who was familiar with the wood- Jot, sald fo be the most frequently in- fested, started out one Sunday morn- ing on an organized “wild animal” hunt. Some went because they con- sidered 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 lon in thelr game bag or else'a secret fédr that they would see one at close quarters. Only a part of the array Lad 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 practleal joker might in a moment's outburst of misplaced en- thusiasm, have furnished wholesale Cheap Electricity For Toronto. Although there have been several great projects for . utilizing power from Niagara to gencrate electricity on the Canadian side of the boun- dary, it has been proposed to sell most of the -product in the Unite States. One of the great compentes on the other side has a contract te transmit its whole output to the old- est of the Amcrican companies. A second Canadian, company has con- structed an overliead line across the gorge, and its American representa. tive 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 Jaw which was passed by Congress a few months ago Canadian electricity can be imported only when the War Department grants a Meense, The necessary ap- plications were made not ,long ago to Secretary Taft, but he has not yet announced his cectsion. ‘At Teast one of the big Canadian companies which has water wheels nd: dynamos at the Falls, however, is planning to find its market almost exclusively in Canada. Its line {3 al ready completed, to ‘voronto. It really has two line, one to be kept in reserve for usé in case of accident. In‘order to test the transmission cables the électricity was switched on for a few minutes one. night lavt 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 lanip’ was extinguistied as a premilfnary to the of the hunting party understood it. Nothing was killed,.however; not even the story. For weeks that mys- terious animal was forced to appear at all sorts of inconvenient places, not infrequently at the call of intelli- gent 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 1s usual, and grew a little with each mile of travel. ‘ Not always Is the esror 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 untii morning, when they could see“to shoot. Great was their surprise when the break of day re- vealed to them the fact that they had over their heads not a coon, but a wildcat of undobuted genuineness 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 cer- tain hamlet in northern Mercer County, Pennsylvania, still_remem- ber 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 re- minders. Once or twice, when un- armed, - he cncountered and was cbased 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 marauder was a fake bear, arranged and ma- aigulated by a young men and a few confederates, In-the midst ofa mild “wild ani- mal" epidemic a prosperous farmer beard 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 lis lantern, aud setting it down, he stepped inside and swung the door shut after hinf, 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 head- Jong into the middle of the barn floor; he had tripped over some ani- mal 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 tumbied out into the open alr and banged the door after him. Then he shouted to his family to bring a light and a. gun; he wanted to save his steck from the intruder. . ‘The gun reached him first, and im- patient lest the beast should escape or do further damage before the ght arrived, he cautiously opened the door and took careful alm midway between the_two eyes he could see glaring at him in the halt light across the floor. Just as he was about to pull the trigger the light of a lan- tern fell upon the crouching beast and revealed—one of his own colts that had slipped its halter, and tired of its Investigations, finally laid down where its master soon after- ward stumbled upon it.

Only a year or two ago some ladies of that ccun- ‘yy had thelr attention attracted to the fireless cookstove, and they be- came so interested Jn it that an or- ganization was effected for the’ pur- pose of making the women of the country generally familiar with it. In this mauner one of the United States representatives In Gerinahy heard of the scheme, and reported on it. This attracted gencral attention fs this country, and the supply of Government pamphlets was svon ex- hausted. The system is based on the fact that a perfectly Insulated vessel con- ‘that the hay box be experimented with hy the Commisary Department. ‘This was done at Fort Riley, Kansas, under the direction ot Captain M. 8. “Murray with theassistance of Latrobe Bromwell, instructor of the school of army cooks at that place. These ex- periments were very successful, and the scheme was heartily indorsed, A box suitable for army use has been designed, and ft Is Ilkely some great changes in the conduct of the com- pany 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.

The article to be cooked was placed over g fire for a short time, a minute or two, and then quickly transferred to the hay bor, where It was placed in a sort of pocket made in thé hay.

On the thirteenth ult., as will be noted in another column, a number of prominent men of the race gathered in Washington, D. G., todo honor to Hon. W T. Vernon ogni of Treasury of the United States, who is one of the truest representatives of the race and is Hiting 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 wha gathered on this occa- sion to do him honor, alone, at- tests 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 pres- ent pinnicle, and he ascended only by the qualities that denote him a man pure and simple. Tne Tripune and the colored citizens of this section sbare in the esteem and confidence in which this man of destiny is held by the race, the country over. Experience versus ineory It is distinctly edifying to pit the beautiful house-of-cards “solutions” of the doctrinaire against the solid, unimpeach- able testimony of the man of ex- perience, says the Atlanta Con- stitution. - Here is an illustra- tion which presents many of the enjoyable aspects of that specta- cle: In-an interview .in ~The Washington, (D C.) Herald, Mr. J. W. Hyde, a successful lom- berman of Jacksonville, Fia., says: “When I was ia Washington a few months ago Itolda Washington Herald reporter, as one who had beenalong me accustomed to handling Negro laborers that Iregarded them as the best workers in the warld, I sald thes, and now re- peat, that I would not give oce black man in the lumber camps of the south forthree Italians or three of any other foreigners: Weli, to my astonishment, this Ittle talk of mine was copied in neatly avery news- paper inthe south, and a good many in the north, I got at least fifty letters about it from people I bad never beard of, most of them agrecing with me and only une taking sharp disseot. This last said he favored deporting the Negroes aad took up fourteen pages of letter paper giving reasons for his theory. “It is toa idle to talk about—this policy ofdeportation. The Negroes are here, and they are golng 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 bis negrophobla—the socalled 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 isonly ashe threatens to become tbriftless, lazy and unreliable that his monopoly on certain of the south’s occupations is in imminent jeopardy. B With the concluding sentence of Mr. Hyde's interview coincide almost un- rerervedly.. He aptly charaterizes the amazing folly of the doctrine of depor- tation. His blunt excoriation of Senator Tillman’s inflammatory _ utterances breathes refreshingly of common sense. He might have gone further and includ- ing uther individuals north and south, whosechief stock in trade is reckiess and incessant agitation of a complicated and always sinister subject. _ It must also be understood that there is avast contrast between “agitation”? as practiced in the manner we fave de- scribed and catm clear discussion con- ducted with justice and moderation, The former is uuqualifiedly nfAschier- ous. There is atleast hope of progress and tranquilization in the latter. ‘Mr, Hyde kas handled Negro laborers. He knows their strong and weak points. His opinions are founded on positve know! edge and not on academic theories. Compare his expresslons with those of the “professional” lecturer, pampbleteer or negro baitor. You will be treated to the amusing and enlightening spectacle to which reference is made in our opening paragraph, Hon. W. T. Vernon, Regis- * ter of Treasury, Ban- quetted. -On January 30, there was a most representative gathering in Washington to do honor to Hon. W. T. Vernon, the able, efficient and popular Regia 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 re- presenting widely divergent opinions and jhailing from different sections of a large ‘commonwealth assemble together in per “fect harmony of thought and action. Suck a circumstance is only possible when there exists some central figure: some com mon purpose which will serve as an azi: around which all elements can revolve™{e perfect union. - ~ ‘Nor fait possible for-any ordinary per sonality or sectlonal interest to effect 1 harmonious blending of elements repre senting an entire race or nation.

Vernon, Register of the Treasury, ‘The banquet held in bis honor will cer- tainly pass into history as one of, if not the most memorable of its kind ever held ia the clty of Washington, not only to tle colored psople of the Datrict bat to those throughout the nation. “There is but lit- tle doubt that the attitude of representa- tive 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 rece. He came to the National Capital practically unknown to People .of this section of the country. When itis considered that-he is now only thliey ve years‘of age, itis not surpris- ing that older heads doubted his ability to “make good” in his new role, And why not? {t was the first instaace of the elevation of a youthful member of his race to the highest fand best Federal office given toaNegro. All doubts now, a8 to the wisdom ofthe President's selec- tion have been dispelled, for Mr. Vernon hus made good both officially and person- ally. A man of dignity and magnetic person- ality, his democratic attitude towards his fellows {a refreshing to the Washington social and political atmosphere. He possesses great perseyerance, independent spirit of thought and action, He is a man possessing a high degree of ,ability and an abundance of good common seasc. Viewing the man from all angles he bears the marks of a man of destiny. ss 7 . ere ee a ¥ ? . ~ y a Lach olMiear tephade“d-fakc se cs, dene lh ie Vernon to shoulder the political respon- sibilities, which confront him should be a source of great pleasure to those through- out the country, who supported him and all the rece should respond to the senti- ment expressed by these representatives of the race who delight in doing honor to the man who grows in favor dally, as men kaow him better. The only ship is 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 his- torle, in that it was made from the timber from’ a part of the house, in Chatham, Canada where John Brown, another dis- tinguished Kansan held his famous Con- gress to.formulate his plans for the at- tack 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 Nei York; Judge E. M. Hewlett, Washington, D. U.; Prof. L. B. Moore, Dean of Howard Univer- sity ; Judge Robert H. Terrell, Washington, D. C.; Dr. A. M. Curtis, Chicago ; Rev. W. B. Brooks, Washiogtdn, D. C.; Maj Robt. Moton, pehingten. 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 en masse and cheered for several minutes. His;fopening re- marks showed that he;war deeply touched by this testimonial given in hiszbehalf! by the citizens of Washington and the citizens of the states represented here. Known as he Is as the Demothenese 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 spleodid day for the race when the leaders shall lose sight of minor differences and agreed tipoo broader lines which make for the common good. To say that we should all think alike on public policies is to argue fagalast nature ortoimply a blind fatuity which abject subserviency to one man [would mean; but that, on the csscatlal we should agree noone will deny.” He cautioned against intemperate criticism which we at times heap upon each other. He urged uni ty of purpose and unity of thought exhort ing his people to emphasize the right and the better thiogs which the Negro has done and closed saying, ‘‘when trials, tho disheartenings and’ the misunder- standings which now obtain shall know the oblivion which is always the part of wrong, equal and exact justice will be accorded to all mea.” The Next Colored £ tate Fair. ‘The prospects for the next Colored State Fair are very en- couraging. President R. R. Wright is re- ceiving letters from prominent men answering him of their Rearty co-operation in the effort to make the second State Fair & greater success than the first. “Mr. Deal L. Jackson, one of the vice, presidents of the Fair and also one of the most gxten- sive colored planters in the State writes that he will’carry a large exhibit to the next fair. Me. Aléx Toles,.a prominent business man of Columbug, Ga. and chair man of thelocal fair committee write as follows: ‘I willdo all in my power in making the next fair a big success. [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. 1. N. Fitzpatrick of Union Point, writes as follows: “‘Dr.R. R,. Wright, Dear Sir, Your let- ter informing me of my election to membership on the general executive committee of the Fair is before me. I gratefully ac- cept the honor, and assure you that I will do my whole duty. Let us forge a head.” Atthe 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.

Some pf the roads.in New York State ard a disgtace to this Common; wealth, Many ‘an automobile tour has been given up because of thelr impassablé condition. Charles Glid- den and party, of Chicago, who were making @ tour of this country, be- came stranded between Albany’ and Syracuse, and -had to give up the trip. Mr. Glidden‘ 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 tourisis on pleasure bent, but they have been the one great obstacle to farming. Many a farmef wao could have made a financial success of his eforts has had to succumb to the pooe hixaways, whic prevented his setting his goods to market. There is a striking difference between the farmers ap the State and the pros- perous ,agravians on Long Island. For years the Log Island roads have been famous. ‘This hes enabled the farmers to get thelr produce prompt- ly to New York fm all) kiads of weather. _ . The railroads up the State have alwayg been tie antagonists of good reeds. Railroads find sharp com- petitors in good roads, as they do in canals. Attempts have been made for years to get good roads, and some time ago $50,000,009 was ap- propriated for thet purpose. Je will fall tg the lot of the newly- elected Democratic State Enginegr and Surveyor, Frederick Skene, to” inaugurate a system of’ good roads throushont ihe State. The appro priation of $50,000,000 will be sup- plemented by further appropriations as soon as thy, first is eshaucted. Fortunately for the State and for Mr. Skene, he comes fiom Queens County, which. as has been said, has the finest roads In the World. ‘The Merrick road {s famous all over the United States and abroad. Mr. Skcsg has bullt meny of those new roads whlch have been a joy to the pleas- ure-seeker and an incalewlable help to the farmer. Ie has all his pro- fessional life been interested in this one phase of engiuecring, and he knows all there fs to know about it. Being so thoroughly equipped for the position he will be able to ex- pend the large appropriation of $50,- 000,000 in the most effective man- ner. Hg will give to the State value received for every dollar expended— a s¥stem of splendid roads that will build up every community through which they pass. it {s not expected that Mr. Skene will be able to finish any “great sys- tem 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 ft be that he will have to be continued in office from sheer necessity, and that the Republicans may have to inllorse bim. for that very reason.—New York Wate SN GUIS DSi FACREALICAL IKE hoc ; SWEET BLOODHOUND } CORK : ‘ [ae j SUIGY egg ‘BREAD | GY a isl A eRe A IS | i Si} lak A= \—_ Fes 1 82) fete Ree ee et SS) ep eee oe] Se | At gh, “af ] omit { 32 14.4 fe) zm > 183 See er S | ‘ The Original “Break Plug” Tobacco.

Porfugal's Plant fs the Best in Europe and Makes Money. Charles W. Pafflow, 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-sadps abroad: “The English Government is slow in making chdnges, the public printer letting its work out to private con- tractors, Eyre & Spottiswood being the principal ones. In 1905 the print- ing done for the English Government ‘cost over four million dollars. The | British colonies have thelr own priat- }ing plants and do tacir own work, Canada having given up the contract system In 1889. The Canadian office favors unfonism outright, stipulating ‘that no workman can enter unle:3 he is a member of the union of his trade. Australia also has its own plant. | “France has been doing its own printing since 1538, and fs said to possess 2200 different faces of type. ‘The French claim their establishment is the best equipped in the world. It is said that as Pope Pius 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 Asiatic and twelve African languages: The French establishment employs about 1300 compositors and its expenses. for the year 1903 :mounted to seven and a half million francs. “The printing office of Germany, employs 1800 persons and has been running since 1871. ‘The employes serve under civil service rules similar to those in the United States. After ten years of service the employes re- ceive, if invalided, a regular pension. Tn 1904 6,450,000 marks was appro- priated for running the German plant, of whiclt 2,225,000 was for labor. It operates its own type foun- dry,.turning out 50,000 pounds of type annually. “The Goverment 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 und em- ploys 1600 persons. In general ap- pearance it, greatly resembles the printing office in Washington. The employes of the Austrian office are algo pensfoned’and receive sick bene- fits the same as the Germans. “Russia has 2 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 prov- inces operated by the central Govern- ment, “To Portugal belongs the honor of having the best equipped printing office In Europe. It does all tho Gov- ernment printing and also private work, and not only pays its working expenses, but contributes a large sum to the National Treasury, Aftkr fif- teen years of service its employes re- celve a pension, if incapacitated for labor, of* one-half average pay, pro- gressing annually with two per ceat 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 $o 225,000,000 refs. “Switzerland has no printing plaat, but spends about $150,000 a year for its public printing.

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. It never has led there, and never will, but its lying fingerpost deceives thousands every year, just the same.—Ram's Horn.

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.

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.

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.

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. All business for the day was suspended at 2:30 o'clock, according to a special order, and eulogies were delivered addressed to resolutions expressing the profound sorrow and regret of the senate at the death of the Maryland senator. NO WORD FROM ROOSEVELT As to "Jim Crow" Question Submitted by People of Oklahoma. President Roosevelt has received the resolutions passed by the constitutional convention of Oklahoma asking him if he would approve the constitution if it should contain a provision on the Jim Crow car question. No answer has yet been made by the president to the resolution. Skin and Scalp Diseases—Face Specialists. O far from accepting the theory that marriage is justly to be regarded as a business transaction; I should claim it to be one of the best means of securing happiness in married life that young people should not only love each other warmly, but should begin poor, if possible, and thus have the discipline of mutual sacrifices, and have the pleasure of making their way upward in prosperity by gradual steps. It is one of the merits of human nature, or at least of American nature, that a young girl may be brought up to Creates a good impression among your correspondents and helps to give your business prestige.
