The cross-examination of J. B. Wal- ton, representing the Corn Products Refining Company, the so-called trust, formed the most interesting incident at the hearing on the tariff schedule covering agricultural preducts and provision, Citrus fruits also occupied considerable attention, ‘Mr. Walton admitted at his com- pany sells corn starch at a loss in the ‘United Kingdom, at a price forty cents less than it is sold in this country. Florida fruit growers gave the com- mittee information on citrus fruit, Pineapples and vegetables, especially as affected by competition with Cuba, and requested either the retention of the present tariff on these articles or an Increase in the duty. ‘The argument that “the states of Florida, Arizona, Louisiana and Call- fornia can in time produce all of’ the citrus fruits used in the United States” was put forth by EB. 'P. Porcher of Jaéksonville, Fla., for a protective duty on oranges and jemops. < J.G. Chase, representing the Jack- sonville board of trade, was urging protection duty on citrus fruits, when Representative Underwood “of Ala- bama asked: “Do you belleve in the general idea of protection?” “Yes,” was the reply, “so far as it does not harm the people of the coun. try.” “Is that the attitude of the Jack- sonville board of trade?” questioned Mr, Underwood, bs Mr. Chase answered affirmatively. “And it’s the attitude of all the people ‘of Florida, isn't it?” urged Mr. poate, Tepublican ‘member from Illt- nols, oni Again the frult grower agreed, add- ing: “Of' all the thinking people.” ¢ “1 jst wanted to know about it,” sald Mr, Underwood, “because Florl- da gave its electoral vote for a party whose, platform favors a tariff for rev- enue.” Representatives Clark and Sparkman of Florida asked leave of the com- mittee to file briefs on the subject of tariff on citrus fralt, and F. G. Me- ‘Mullen for the Florida pineapple grow- ers, asked for a 70 per cent duty on pineapples. B00 PERSONS FACE DEATH When Two Steamships Collide in New York Bay. New York CityThe lives of more than five hundred persons were im- periled, when the fruit steamer Adm!- ral Dewey, inward bound from Jamai- ca, crashed into the steamer Mount Desert, outward . bound from Bay Ridge for the fishing banks, The Admiral Dewey, coming suddenly out of a fog bank, struck the Mount Des- ‘ert almost amidships, opening x gash in the fishing vessel that extended from the upper deck to the water's edge, ¢ a Panic immediately followed-the coi- lision, and it was due to the prompt action of Captain Davidson of the.Ad- miral Dewey, that a catastrophe was averted for the passengers on the fish- ing steamer began piling over the guard rail of that vessel, and leaped for the deck of the Admiral Dewey, Had he backed his steamer away, many would have fallen into the ‘wa- ter.

She was such a foolish little person, so reckless and irresponsible. Even the professors, who flunked her with a harmony of judgment pleasant to contemplate in a faculty, never took her at all seriously. Yet it was she who, in the impersonal, indifferent way supposed to characterize the walk and conversation of fate, turned from its course the most beautifully ordered career in college. She, with four other unfortunates whom the weekly raid of the sweeper had driven from their rooms into the corridor, was seated on a forgotten trunk-truck, one April afternoon. The others, mindful of the nearness of their next recitation, were vigorously acquiring a few "glittering generalities" on the early English drama. lutely shut out of her days. She would have none of the widening, polishing process, due to the daily intercourse of girls from all countries and of all kinds with one another. She would have none of the deepening and strengthening of sympathy which comes from knowing the longing and struggles of many different lives. Saddest of all, she refused every chance to aid those struggles. College offers uncounted ways to be helpful and unselfish and loving. Every day all a girl's gifts, from the humblest to the most ideal, may be used—to help out a sudden hurry, to quicken to hope a sullen discouragement. Few girls have ever again so many people to whom they may be "neighbors." But Orpha, blind to all the beautiful opportunities, resented the "His window-blinds are shut tight!" announced Tilly, suddenly, leaning out of the window with such a swoop that her neighbor made a startled clutch at her apparently disappearing form.; "That means he is either gone to town or dead. In either case, we have a cut in English. Do you hear?" "Tilly, if you want to quit this naughty world, please choose some other means of exit than hurling yourself on the stones down there. It’s such a messy style of dying!" complained Marcia Grennell, the girl who held her by the skirt. "Away or dead!" chanted Tilly. "We have a cut. Hi! you—" to a girl who came swiftly round the corner. "Oh!—er I beg pardon, Miss Ainsley. I thought you were some one else." The girl hardly turned her head as she hurried by. "It's a regular shame about her!" said Tilly, in a half-whisper, waving toward the disappearing figure. "Somebody ought to stop that. We ought; she belongs to our class!" No one made any reply. Tilly went on excitedly: "We ought to get her to know some girls, to have some fun!" The others were only half-listening; the subject was so old it had lost all interest. Keith McKnight raised her soft, earnest eyes to Tilly. "Should we do something?" she asked, anxiously. "Of course we should! You should! Put her on your play committee!" "But, Tilly, dear child—" "What's that??" Tilly's head was out of the window again. "A cut in English! I told you so! Come on, fellows! Hot chocolate and frabious little nut-cakes in my room to celebrate. I've got the cakes all right, and we can borrow the rest." Off darted Tilly with all other thoughts swept from her mind. The others followed joyfully. Keith sat still on the trunk-truck. She was the president of '9—, and held that "a public office is a public trust." She felt herself responsible for the success and happiness of every 'girl' in the class. "Ought I to look after Miss Ainsley?" she pondered. "Her life certainly is queer; it can't be good for her. How am I going at it?" Keith frowned at a mild little freshman who happened to be passing, to the terror of that innocent child. Whenever you met Orpha Ainsley, you desired to put your fingers in her dimples, ruffle up her dandelion hair, and handle her generally as you would a baby. She was so round and pretty and attractive, so altogether lovable. Strangers who saw her running down the walk, golf-clubs in her hand, her cheeks rubbed red by the wind and her eyes aglow, smiled as they said to one another, "The typical college girl, vigorous, wide awake and full of fun." And that proves that "the world is still deceived by ornament." The girls would rather have kissed the statue of Minerva that adorned the main entrance, than crinkle one of Orpha's immaculate frills, and as for being the typical college girl— Why, Orpha was a "grind!" A girl who studied from the time she got out of bed in the morning until she got into it at night; studied straight through class-meetings, basketball games, ice-carnivals, plays receptions; sometimes without even knowing that all these important things were happening. She was not even the typical grind, for she was rosy and of calm nerves, and went outdoors every day, making this one exception to her all-work program. Orpha had come to college determined to be "an educated woman." To her that meant to have her intellect cultivated to the highest degree possible. Of that broadening and sweetening of the character, that learning to "view life with appropriate emotions," which is so far above any training of the mind, she never dreamed. She was unnatually clever already; her essays always were marked with a neat little red-ink "excellent;" her Greek prose—still more potent cause of swelling pride—bore no red ink at all; she received commendatory notes after each examination; and she asked such "intellient questions" in class that the professors-themselves could not answer them. But of the world of college outside of books, that happy, jolly, wholesome world, the girls, she knew nothing. She had no friends. All the gay, warm life about her she res lutely shut out of her days. She would have none of the widening, polishing process, due to the daily intercourse of girls from all countries and of all kinds with one another. She would have none of the deepening and strengthening of sympathy which comes from knowing the longing and struggles of many different lives. Saddest of all, she refused every chance to aid those struggles. College offers uncounted ways to be helpful and unselfish and loving. Every day all a girl's gifts, from the humblest to the most ideal, may be used—to help out a sudden hurry, to quicken to hope a sullen discouragement. Few girls have ever again so many people to whom they may be "neighbors." But Orpha, blind to all the beautiful opportunities, resented the smallest hindrance to her chosen purpose. She shut herself away in her room behind the sign, "Engaged," and even regarded the necessary conversation at meals as an intrusion on her time and thoughts. Every day she grew less of a loving, lovable girl, and more of a selfish pedant. She had gathered up her notes for the English lecture this particular afternoon, when some one knocked. She stared as Keith McKnight entered. "There's a cut in English," began the visitor, for Orpha looked ready to flee. Orpha stared more than ever. "Miss Ainsley, I—ah—will you do me a great favor? I’m the head of our Sophomore Dramatic Committee, you know, and I want you to be one of the members. Please be! We must have this play fine, our freshman one was such a disgrace. You are so clever and so well-read, you’ll know about all the old dramas and be able to tell what sort of costumes people wore, and—oh, help every way!" Keith ended with a smile that never failed to win whoever saw it. This invitation was one of the honors and glories of college, had Orpha known it. Her only feeling, however, was one of rage that any one could for a moment suppose she would be drawn into such a silly waste of time. Yet when Keith left, after a weary half-hour in which she was unvaryingly sweet, but persistent, and Orpha by turns scornful or appealing, the letter had yielded a reluctant promise to come to the first meeting. The committee were all present when Orphia entered Keith's room that night. Her first look told her that the girls were the brightest in the class, those whose scholarship had gained even her critical admiration. "How can they waste time so?" she thought, scornfully. A thorough look about the room showed Tilly Ingersoll curled up on the_couch. Orpha despised Tily as a miffless person who could not lead even the simplest problem in "trig" to a triumphant issue. "Great use she'll be!" she thought, with scorn. The rest of the committee$_{k}$ were busily setting forth a feast, of much size, evidently. Keith was nowhere to be seen. "I beg pardon—" began Orpha. "Come in," hailed Tilly, "we're just waiting for you. Keith smashed the olive-bottle a minute ago. She's in the bath-room, picking out the glass from the olives." "I think these are undamaged," said the hostess, entering. "Good evening, Miss Ainsley. It's ever so nice to have you here." "What promiscuous kind of food are we to have to-night, Keith?" asked Marcia. "You remind me of the Kipping man who 'clawed together a meal he called dinner.'" "Don't quarrel with your food!" admonished Tilly. "The rest of us haven't had supper in town. We're thankful for anything!" "Anything! My beautiful oysters, my 'tasty' chicken sandwiches!" cried the giver of the feast. "The last time I came to one of your balls I had two crackers and an orange!" Orpha sat very stiff and prim. For the first time in her self-satisfied life she felt inadequate to the situation. She could not sing, or tell funny stories, or make witty replies. She could not even laugh in that easy, infectious way the others did. When the girls began the discussion of the play, she was no happler. Her knowledge of the classic drama did not seem especially helpful in staging a college play. She went home determined to come to the next meeting and show the girls how really superior to them she was. She came to the next meeting, and to rehearsals in the hall. She did not grow any more comfortable, however. The girls were so capable, so tactful in managing one another! To Orpha, coming dazed from a world of books, they seemed marvelous. Even the desplied Tilly showed an extraordinary resourcefulness in all difficulties. There was another side to the girls that made her oddly unhappy. This was the sympathy and love which existed among them, sometimes, as between friend and friend, sometimes—and this seemed strangest of all—as a bond to be expected among members of the class. This friendship showed itself in rejoicing over any good luck that came to any of them, and in constant readiness to help one another. "How ridiculous!" Orpha would say to herself, as she watched the girls prince about some friend who had said a clever thing in class or recyed a bit of praise from a professor. "What, she did I done twenty times before?" Once when she saw the girls fairly overwhelming a member of the class with their congratulations, she asked: "What's she done?" "Oh, haven't you heard? Her father's going to take her to Europe for the whole summer. Isn't that gay?" "Wish I were going!" muttered Orphar, then still lower, "It wouldn't be any use!" which disconnected remarks, nevertheless, told that some very unusual feeling had seized her. She wondered still more at the way in which the girls gave up the most cherished plan for work or fun, to help some friend in her work or fun. Bertha Johnson, to whom a high rank meant everything, cut two lectures and a laboratory period to sit with a foolish freshman cousin, who was in the infirmary and therefore homesick. And Marcia Grennoll resigned from the economics debate—that great honor—because she was helping her roommate make up back work. Orpha stood up straighter than ever when she heard of any new act of this sort. "If you wish to be a scholar, you must subordinate everything to that end," she told herself. Then she went back to her lonely little room and was very unhappy. The afternoon of the dress rehearsal, actors and committees were in the hall waiting for Keith and the heroine. Every one was excited, for the play was always the event of the year to the class. Each class gave one a year, and rivalry ran high. Keith entered and cast herself on a pile of "prosperies." "The play is ruined!" "What?" in a frightened chorus. What! in a frightened chorus. "Margaret has broken her ankle!" A dead silence, then all talking at once. "No, we can't postpone it! Every Saturday is taken, up to commencement. We can't even give it up, for we can get another heroine. Emma Twemlow acted the part at home last summer. She was as stiff as a poker, and oh, you know her voice!" "And she's as awkward as a duck!" cried Tilly. "Keith, she'll make the whole play absurd!" "I know it, but I can't help it! She knows about Margaret and she offered. If we don't give the play, of course we lose all chance of the prize cup!" Orpha stole out. She walked a long way before she knew what she was doing. "I don't look like Rosalind"—the play, was "As You Like It"—"but I know I can be like her." She spoke out loud. Orpha had an English voice, sweet, with organ tones in it. "The Morgan prize!" She had forgotten that. The Morgan prize was one offered to the sophomore class for the best essay on a given subject. If you won, you had two hundred dollars, and unlimited glory. Orpha long unspeakably for the glory. She wanted her people at home to know what great things she was doing. Most of all, she wanted the girls to realize how very clever she really was. She had been ruffled seriously, during the progress of the play, by her unskillfulness in practical affairs. She would prove that her mind was too great for such trifles. She knew she could win. The competition closed the next night, the night of the play. Her essay was finished in conception, but it had yet to be written out. Orpha was a slow worker. She had planned to spend all that day and the next, up to the play, on it. She sat down in a deserted corner of the campus. There she fought a fierce battle. On one side warred ambition, her wounded pride, her real scholarship; on the other—she knew not what. Confused idas of Kelth's disappointment, Kelth, whom she had begun to love—of the shame of the class at falling in its play—of the girls loving her, too, and crying, "Good girl, Orpha!"—all these thoughts chased one another through her brain. Orpha stood shyly before the dreary party just starting for Emma Twemlow. "Keith"—she had never called her that before—"won't you let me be Rosalind? I know I can be, even if I don't look her. I have heard the rehearsals so often I know the part, and I'm willing to rehearse all day to-morrow." The hall was full. Girls sat on the window-ledges and crowded the doorways. There were the seniors, friendly to the sophomores, of course, but rather superior; the juniors and freshmen fiercely hostile; the class itself hopeful, but nervous. Besides the undergraduates, there were a number of visitorz, alumnge and outsiders. Orpha stood in the wings. She had seen the amused smiles of the audience as it read her name on the committee. Up to this time the names of all concerned had been kept secret, and to enhance the excitement Margaret's name had not been taken from the program. The girls knew only that Rosalind was to be a surprise. Orpha had never acted before. In all that audience there was not one to "give her a hand" for friendship's sake. She stepped out on the stage. In the dead silence she heard a whisper from the front jeats. "What, that gloomy grind!" and a giggle. She felt sick. That was what she was—a grind, a Miss Dryasdust. She had no place among these alive girls. She was a fool ever to have tried to be like them. She ever stood perfectly still in a silence that might have been of hours. Her eyes traveled slowly to the wings. In the wings stood the committee. Their faces were rather white and their eyes looked unusually large, but they smiled and clapped noiselessly, and Keith blew her a little round kiss. They did not think of her as a grind! She had become one of "us." She was frightened, they must help her out. Orpha turned to the audience with a smile that made her dimpes peep out. Frightened? No, but stirred as she had never been before. She had sacrificed a dear desire to help the girls. Her act should not be useless. But most of all she thought not of her own success or failure, but of Keith and the others who had trusted her so. Perhaps that is why she did not fail. For she inspired the rest of the cast with powers they had not shown at any rehearsal, and she captivated every girl in the hall. She seemed really one of "that. brave mimic world that Shakespeare drew." The play was a mighty success. - As the curtain fell, the audience, unable to contain itself longer, gave a rousing cheer. They shouted for Keith, for the committee, and for the cast. Then some one by the door cried, "What's the matter with Orpha, the best actor ever in this hall?" With the answering, "She's all right!" the girls swept upon the stage. They almost tore little. Rosalina to bits shaking and hugging her. "Good for you, Orpha!" "You're a regular star!" they cried. She had made their play a joy to their friends and an envy to their foes; what else about her matter now? An impulsive freshman flung her arms about the amazed actress, fairly shouting: "Miss Alnsley, you're a peach; a fuzzy, downy peach!" The older girls disapproved of such slang, but it was permitted to impulsive freshmen. Orpha stood quite still through all the excitement. She felt dazed. All at once she began to laugh and talk and hug everybody, just as the other girls were doing. What she was saying, if any one had heard her, was: "Oh, oh, you're so nice! Why didn't I know it! Oh, I'm so glad I do now!" This sounded wild, but it really meant that Orpha had come to her senses. It was not that the praise satisfied her ambition. She-never once remembered that she had proved her superiority. It was the realization at last of the loyal and warm comradeship, based on mutual need and mutual help—the very heart and secret of college life — which made her happy. She needed just such a vehement demonstration of college spirit to rouse her out of her selfish self. The love of the girls had reached her heart at last. The tired, but triumphant, committee was going home to Main Hall. "Say, Tilly, were you ever so surprised in all your days as: Orpha?" said Marcia Grennell, in a low voice. "I knew she had stores and hoards of knowledge, but I never supposed such a grind could act." "It was because she is a grind." Tilly's voice was that of one working out a problem. "Did you see how nervous she was at the start? She just pulled herself in, though, and acted her little as she works over Allen and Greenough—with all her vengeance. It's that grinding that's given her such a grip on herself. Do you suppose I could have come out of a regular panic like that? No, sir, I'd have scattered into ignoble bits right before the assembled populace!" "Well, sirs!" ejaculated the astonished Marcia. "Oh, I know it's queer for me, but it's true, all the same. This all play and no work may be great joy, but it won't give you what Orpha Ainsley has—and that's character! "I've fooled away two years here now, and nobody's had more, fun than I, but to-night—" Tilly stopped, then spoke very quietly, with uncommon seriousness: "Marcia, I'm going to work after this more than I ever did. It will please my father, and maybe give me some character—like Orpha." Marcia was too wise to answer. Both pretended to be interested in the others girls' talk. Those ahead were still discussing the great success of the play. "It's just gay to-night," sighed Keith, "but, oh, me! Monday when we have to 'rid up' the place and return the 'borrowed!'" "Don't you care!" called some one whose joy no gloomy visions, even of Monday, could daunt. "It won't take long!" "It takes hours, always!" retorted Keith. "I have four recitations, extra 'lab,' a special topic and an essay interview!" Orpha, marching in a sort of Roman conqueror procession, heard Keith. Gratitude and the sense of obligation to the class surged within her. "I'll do your share of straightening up, Keith," she called. "I haven't much of anything Monday." She tried to have just the matter-of-course tone the girls used when they made such offers, but she could not help her voice shaking a little. There was an instant's silence, then Keith answered easily: "Oh, will you? Thanks, ever go much." And Orpha knew she had received the seal to her title as a college girl, with all the priflegles and responsibilities. —Youth's Companion. The customs service of China estimates the total population of that country at 438,214,000. A recent exhibition in Vienna, instituted by a Berlin chemist, Dr. Paul Jeserich, who devotes most of his time to legal and criminal matters, has fairly astounded the press of that city by its demonstration of the value of photography in the detection, of crime. Every large city now has its rogue's gallery, and spreads broadcast photographs, of suspects. The photographing of the scenes of crime for the enlightenment of juries is still another development with which the general public is familiar. But few people realize that in many other ways photography has become of enormous value in the actual detection of criminals. To illustrate this remarkable development was the prime object of Dr. Jeserich's display of the eighty enlarged prints which constitute his exhibition. The sun sees everything, however fallible the human eye. Even when reinforced by the microscope or the magnifying glass, the ordinary observer is apt to overlook little things in themselves of great importance. Moreover, a detective, or an expert employed by the police, might behold through a magnifier something which he would regard as evidence, but about which a jury might fail to take his word. By means of the enlargement of a negative, proof of a crime may often be shown to a jury which would otherwise be practically unavailable. This is Dr. Jeserich's contention, and his demonstration of it impressed observers as convincing. For instance, he exhibited two letters which had originally contained money, and had been received without their enclosures. To the eye, they had not been tampered with in any way, and there was nothing to show whether they had been sent without the money or whether they had been opened en route. An enlarged photograph solved the mystery. It showed plainly that one of the envelopes had two lines of mucilage, while an unevenness in the post-office stamp on the flap showed that there had been a slight variation in the resealing. It was obvious that this letter had been tampered with; the other proved not to have been, for the paper sheets enclosed in place of the money showed, when photographed, the imprint of the post-office stamp which it had received through the envelope. The tell-tale blotting paper has figured in many a novel and play. Hitherto it has been read by means of a looking-glass. Dr. Jeserlich won a divorce case by first photographing the blotter and then enlarging the print; the resulting evidence that the defendant was guilty by itself sufficed to convince the court. A murderer was convicted by means of the cord with which he strangled his victim; a piece of it was found in his pockets, but not until photog- THE TRAMP PRINTER. Passing of a Once Familiar Figure in Newspaper Offices. What has become of the old time printer, once so familiar before the invasion of the linotype machine? He used to show up with the first frost. You found him in the office early some October morning, toasting his back before the stove. His first request was, "Boss, may I look over the exchanges?" and he was soon pawing around among the papers on the editorial table. By 9 o'clock he had leaved sufficient tribute upon the boys to get a shave and a drink, and after dinner he was picking up brevier in a way to make an expert envious. All winter he worked as steadily as a clock. Many were the stories he told around the back room fire on a Sunday afternoon. Though without much education, his very wanderings had made him an entertaining personage. In the spring, however, when the tiny bees buzzed lazily against the sunny window pane and the illac bushes in the courthouse yard were putting forth their fragrant lavender plumes and the night air was pungent with the odor of burning brush piles and sweet with earthy exhalations of upturned sod and everywhere could be heard, the laughter of children playing in the twilight, a change came over the spirit of the tramp printer. He felt the call of the road, with its luxurious days of animal delight under the clear skies of spring, with its privilege of work when you wish and idle when you will. He wished-to see the boys again, to visit the fifty offices where he had friends: So one Monday morning in mid-April when you entered the office you missed his form at the case, the months' familiar figure with one gallus down and a short oil stained cob pipe protruding from under a slightly luminous nose. Yet with all of his vagrant impulses you felt kindly toward your nomadic brother in the art preservative and were ever ready for him to come again. Before it is too late some gifted pen should tell the story of the tramp printer. It is one teeming with romance and the very best possibilities of good literary effort. True, to-day almost every office has the remorseless, speedy and ever silling machine, but no one can wax either enthusiastic or reminiscent, over a mere machine—Shawnee (Okla.) Herald. The envelope was invented in 1883 and was in disfavor for a long time. raphy was called in-was the fact be yond, dispute that both pieces of cord had originally been one. Another victim of a murderer clutched in his hand a mere scrap of a linen mask; a search of the rooms of the suspected criminal revealed another piece of linen. When both were photographed, it was found that the weaving was identical; in each piece four dark threads were always followed by fourteen light ones. A stolen wedding ring, when found on the thief, bore the number 12, 12, 93 C. S. A magnifying glass revealed nothing, but the camera brought out the original mark, S. 5. 2. 88. Faint traces of blood stains not otherwise discernible are also revealed by the photographic plate. Not even the most careful expert has as yet been able to re-photograph that picture of the murderer on the retina of the victim's eyes, which has betrayed the criminal in more than one novel. But Dr. Jeserich was able to capture one criminal who used part of an envelope bearing his address as an extra charge in loading his old-fashioned revolver. The paper was apparently charred beyond hope, but the camera ended speculation as to the identity of the criminal by furnishing his name and street number. In the same way, a photograph of a bullet that had ended a life showed very faint markings, which could only come from a slight unevenness in the barrel of the revolver from which it was fired. The weapon of one suspect was used again and again, and each bullet fired showed the same faint lines. In the discovery of forgeries, hand-writing experts have long resorted to the camera, and Dr. Jeserich exhibited some startling examples of the ease with which the work of the cleverest forgers was revealed. All of this shows clearly that if new inventions and the advances of science furnish new weapons to the criminal, they in turn make it harder for him to escape punishment. Some day we may yet see men like Dr. Jeresich included in the detective staffs of our great cities; and not only photography, but all the other sciences, will contribute to the detection of wrongdoers. Not even in Scotland Yard have the police gone into partnership with scientists to the extent possible. In this city our detectives, when not corrupt, are often incompetent or wholly behind the times. When they have scored successes, it has generally been by good luck, by breaking down the prisoner's nerve through methods often indistinguishable from torture, or because of the stupidity of the criminal. Gen. Bingham has dreamed of the time when he could appoint civilians to his detective corps; but he has not yet asked for that alliance between science and detection which modern developments make feasible.—New York Post. NOISE NUISANCES. Some Early Efforts Toward Their Suppression. "It is so quiet uptown now that the patient listener may now and then catch some of the softer noises of the world," said a semi-invalid lawyer who spends most of the day sitting by the open window of his Harlem flat. "I have naturally taken a great deal of interest in the present crusade against unnecessary noises, and have been reading up on sporadic attempts to suppress them," he continued. "The earliest case that I have found was in the reign of George III, when a circus band was silenced by injunction on the ground that its noise was a nulsance. In another old English law report it tells of a plaintiff recovering damages because a flock of wild ducks was frightened by the persistent firing of a gun. The learned judge held that this constituted a public nulsance and was a prejudice* to private rights. In Georgia 'gathering in a noisy way at a pigeon shooting' has been judicially decided to be a nulsance. A North Carolina court held that the stamping horses in a livery stable near the plaintiffs' dwelling was sufficient annoyance to entitle him to damages. "Even the noise incident to an ordinary business may be a nuisance. A gold-beater pelting a thin sheet of gold into shape, the hammering of the anvil in the blacksmith shop, the noise of a skating rink, and so on, have all been held to be abatable nuisances. "The test laid down in the books is that any 'noise which constitutes an annoyance to a person of ordinary sensibility to sound so as materially to interfere with the ordinary comfort of life and impair the reasonable enjoyment of his habitation, is a nuisance to him." "It is within the bounds of possibility that in great centres of population a new class of experts will arise to draw salaries from the municipality as noise specialists. Unusual noises long continued undoubtedly induce deafness, aside from irritating nerves and murdering sleep. At any rate, they destroy a discriminating nicety in hearing, especially in those who have what is called a musical ear."—From the New York Times.

The Popular Magazine for December has easily the most seasonable and attractive cover to be seen on the news-stands. It is a unique effect in green and gamboge, presenting a duck decoy scene in the sedges by a river with the stern hills beyond. Typical of the close of the game season, this cover has been especially designed by the artist as harmonious with Herbert Quick's great hunting story, "The Stalking of Pauguk." This is a stirring and realistic tale, showing how Death stalked through the Minnesota woods because a man stood to win or lose all on a single cast of the diee. The Popular Magazine for December contains one complete novel, four serials, a complete novelette, and six short stories—twelve "bang-up" yarns in all—two hundred and twenty-four pages of breathless interest.

In Georgia a Negro boy has been convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Governor who pardons this child out of the penitentiary will remove a blot upon the humanity and civilization of the state and will do what can be done towards wiping out a disgrace to the Georgia courts—Nashville Tennessee. Negro With Capital "N." We are sometime asked why we spell Negro with a capital "N" when so few other publications do so. We do it for the same reason that we spell Smith with a capital "S." Just as "smith" was once a common descriptive term indicative of occupation and came thence to be a family name, so "negro," once a common descriptive term indicating the black color of a certain race, has come to be a race name. This is a kind of transformation through which many words have gone, from common names to proper and from proper to common one—as from smith to Smith or reversely from Boycott to boycott. When these transpositions of meaning take place they ought to be indicated by the ordinary rules of capitalization, simply as a matter of good literary form. We should as well think of writing "mr smith" as "negro." Capitalization is of course a more conventionality, but that is not sufficient reason for disregarding it. In some connections it has a significance of respect which make its misuse offensive. The spelling of Negro with a little "n" may well be offensive to sensitive persons of that race, and see no other reason for refusing to capitalize the word than a positive intention to offend or indifference to giving offense, unless it be ignorance of English usage. We are therefore glad to note that at least one periodical of the first class, the American Magazine, habitually follows our rule as to the word Negro. Has not this word become as truly a proper name as German, Jew or Quaker?—Public Opinion. Commission's Session With Negro President Roosevelt's Commission on Country Life, held an interesting meeting for Negroes at Knox Institute and Industrial School, Athens, Ga., November 13th. Through the efforts of Prof. L. S. Clark, principal of Knox Institute and Industrial School, Athens, Ga.', a meeting for Negroes was arranged with the national commission on country life in America. The meeting was held at Knox Institute and Industrial School, Thursday, November 13th. At 9:30 o'clock, the commission consisting of Dr. L. H. Bailey, of Cornell, chairman, Dr. E. W. Allen, and Dr. Butterfield, arrived, accompanied by Chancellor D. C. Barrow, Dr. Soule, and Dr. H. C. White, of the University of Georgia. Quite a large number of presentative Negro farmers who came to Athens to attend the meeting and many of the leading colored citizens of Athens, consisting of men and women whose work either as teachers or pastors bring them in close contact with every phase of country life, were present to meet the commission. After a short welcome address by Principal Clark, Dr. Bailey stated briefly the object of the meeting by saying that they had come not to instruct, not to inspect any institution of learning, but simply to gather information of the condition of country life in Georgia and to receive suggestions as to how these conditions may be remedied, that he wanted facts to report to the president. The meeting which began at 9:30 a.m. lasted until 11:30 a. in. "Compulsory Education for Georgia." "Better teachers and better schools for the rural districts" and "The Establishing of Normal and Agricultural schools for Negroes in Georgia" were some of the subjects discussed. Among those who took part in the discussions of these subjects were Prof L'S.Clark, Principal Knox Institute, Prof. J. H. Brown Prof. S.F. Harris, Prof. Parks, Rev. H. M. Smith, Rev. A. B. Murden, Dr. W. H. Harris, and J. U. Jackson. All these are well informed Negro leaders on the present condition of Negro farmers of Georgia. Their work keeps them in almost continuous contact with the Negro farmers of the state. Hence the value of their information and suggestion to the commission.—Athtens Banner. St. Mary's Dots. Sunday was Pastoral Day at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church. A good crowd was out. All who attended Sunday night had the pleasure of hearing an instructive sermon by the pastor, Rey F. F. Foreman. His subject "Draw nigh the Altar" It was expounded with power. Prof. J. M. Washington became watch-care member at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, the members received him with open arms. Jas. M. Holzdolf, Sr. is a licentiate at Mt. Pisgah church. There was a song service on Thursday thanksgiving night at Dungeness. The social given by Mrs. Sarah Sanders was nicely arranged. All present enjoyed a fine evening. Guess who beat? Several friends were present, in the number was Prof. Washington. Mrs Way, Jr., and her sister Leither Parris of Fernandina, Fla., are home on a visit to Mrs. Way's mother-in-law at North River. We wish them a pleasant stay.

Congregationalists in Session Congregationalists in Session The eighteenth annual meeting of the General Convention of the Congregational Churches of Georgia was had last week with the First Church at Macon, Rev. T. J. Austin, pastor. The session which was a very interesting and profitable one, was will attended and the music furnished by the choir of the entertaining church was good. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. P. R. DeBarry of Thebes. Among the noted speakers present were Rev. J. W. Cooper, D. D., of New York City, Secretary of the American Missionary Association who delivered an able address, and Rev. Dr. Gee W. Moore, of Nashville Tenn., Field Missionary. He brought greetings and reports from the annual meeting of the A. M. A. recently held at Galesburg Illinois. Many helpful addresses were made, and the reports from the churches were excellent, showing substantial progress along both spiritual and financial lines. At this session provision was made for the organization of a Sunday School and Christian Endeavor Convention to meet with the body each year having representatives from each local Sunday School and a ciaety. Prof. L. S. Clark, Principal of Knox Institute at Athens was made superintendent of this movement for young people. The Woman's Missionary Society of which Mrs. M. I. Heard was re-elected President; held a very interesting session. The reports from local societies were good and plauses were outlined for more efficient and larger work for next year. An offering was made for the benefit of the Rev. L. B. Max well memorial fund for a Memorial Window soon to be placed in the new Institutional Church at Atlanta, of which the Rev. Dr. H. H. Proctor is Pastor Rev. W. L. Cush of Savannah was unanimously elected Moderated of the Convetion for the ensuing year. The next session will be held with the church at Marietta. Preachment No. 1, Don't talk about the lantern that holds the lamp, but make haste, uncover the light, and let it shine.—Gco. Macdonald. And now it appears that a generous spirit is hovering over us, and forcing upon us the necessity of bringing Charity Hospital to the attendance of an unthinking and indifferent public. The institution has done very much to alleviate suffering humanity, and comparatively few people know it. On the Northeast corner of 36th and Florende streets stands an ungainly two-storied building, with verandas on both stories: the building is in great need of painting and other things which go to make up an imposing structure. The space in front of the building could be planted with grass and flowers by willing hands. These things I mention not in the spirit of criticism, I merely mention them because they make the exterior of the Charity Hospital, and do not require post-graduate courses for their remedying. The house I have been describing is the nearest outside of hospital. Persons who know about hospital- tals and what they do, do not know of the character of work that is done inside of this sadly neglected building. If they knew of the work this institution has done and is doing, and is capable of doing, the mortal dread of hospitals, and lack of confidence in Negro physicians, would become a matter of history right early. More of our young women would study trained nursing and none would leave the city to study in hospitals. This hospital is now the equal in point of necessary equipment of any hospital in the city. The service under the present management is such as it has never been and furnishes to Negro physicians of Savannah an opportunity which many an ambitious physician elsewhere would eagerly embrace. The training given its nurses can easily take rank with the training given in many of the hospitals in the country The Negro physicians who have control of it make up potentially the most telling influence in this community for the betterment of the race. Is all of this true? Have you been to the Charity Hospital? Have you seen the operating room? Do you know anything about the records of it? Ask them when you go to let you see the records if you have any professional interest, and you feel competent to read the records kept there. You will discover that operations classic in character have been performed with an astounding degree of success both by white and colored physicians. It is no exaggeration to say that if there is any descrepancy as to to number of important and successful cases, it is in favor of the Negro physicians. Probably somebody is at fault for not seeing that the hospital and its work get due and proper publicity. It appears to me that the people of Savannah ought to know that Charity Hospital is now doing great work and is preeminently a living evidence of the ability of the Negro in the domain of medicine and surgery. Further, this institution bears witness to the fact that skill, merit or art has no color; it says in stentorian tones that a case of appendicitis yields only to skillful hands, not white hands nor black hands. This though leads me to this other thought that the time has come when we must cease to expect to be measured by any other standard than that of absolute merit. To aim to be the best Negro carpenter or best Negro plasterer is a low aim compared with the aim to be the best carpenter or the best plasterer. This proposes a high standard but no other well suffice. Any other standard admits inferiority. The Rev. J. W. Lee puts it this way in substance: Stop quarreling about who is superior, or who is inferior. Get to work and do what the other fellow does and do it as well. This will settle the question. Now it is not the intention of this article to give any false boosting of Charity Hospital. The inclination to describe the achievements of our race in bubbles and volubility has done untold damage. Let the entire business of race success and enterprise, and what not be measured on the basis of merit. FRA SHAWINGTON. The "Jim Crow" Doctors The Atlanta Independent is giving out som very interesting reading matter to the public relative to the medicos of Atlanta. His expressions seem to have struck a responsive chord that runs all through the state, judging from the amount of correspondence that they have elicited. I am sure the sayings must not be very pleasant to the Atlantans who are struck by these lashes, and unless their is a dirth of professional sympathy among "mixers of pills" they cannot fall like soothing showers upon any of the craft in the state. If the allegations set forth in the series of articles are true, then I should find myself endorsing the efforts of Editor Davis in trying to bring around a different state of affairs. And if they are false, I would brand the editor as a meddler. But up to now, I have seen no denials and I am forced to wonder if the Independent is the biggest man in Georgia, the bravest man in Georgia and the only man in Georgia that can say what he pleases, do what he pleases to anybody he pleases. Now medical doctors get their very bread as the result of the patronage of the people. They could not force a treatment or demand a pay. Hence the first lesson they should endeavor to teach the people after coming into their midst, it seems should be confidence in Negro ingenuity and capability, and no better method by which to do this could be adopted than to show the people that they have confidence in them. If a Negro doctor has no confidence in a Negro pharmacist, then the patron will be slow to confide in the real qualification of the physician. If the practicing physician can get his perscription filled properly at a Negro drug store, then it is his duty to have the work done there. This would be a means of teaching race pride and race patronage that would be fundamental in effect, and would bring many in contact with the drug man who would, otherwise, never even see his place of business. We weep over the condition of affairs and the order of things in Atlanta and would extend a helping hand to our friend Davis in his fight. We have both time and munition of wary endurance and grit. I point with pride to our physicians. They patronize our drug stores, the ask no rebate and they receive volumes of patronage as a consequence. They are patriotic, racial and stick each to the other and all, to the drug stores operated by colored men. They are studiously observant and know the qualification of the man behind the counter and they teach the people that they are careful, clean and competent. Mr. Davis should send his "Jim Crow" doctors down here and have them see how nobly our physicians exhibit race pride and race patronage. I would venture the assertion that if a canvas was made, that it would be easily discovered that nine tenths of the prescriptions written by our able and busy corps of physicians, go to stores operated by Negroes. Dr. Smith, for instance, owns a drug store he patronizes it. Others follow.—The doctors of our city are of, for and with the people in every endeavor in which the people are interested—Church, Sunday Club, Charity Hospital, Georgia State College, Beach Institute,—all these feel the effect of their presence and always have present upon occasions, a representative of the craft in person or by proxy. I resent, with a mild infusion of indignation, the purile insinuation of one "Sam Cam" of Abbeville, Ga. that all the doctors need "race pride," evinced by this lack of race patronage. Atlanta is in Georgia, but Atlanta is not in Georgia. Let "Sam Cam," the novitiate, come to Sarannah and bring his microscope along to aid him in his search for a "Jim Crow" doctor. If he finds one, then let him write. Let him stand not on the order to refrain; but until then, let him not dare to presume so much. ROY REGINALD. St. Philip Dots. Every Sunday tells the increasing popularity of Rev. Lindsay and his congregation among the people or Savannah large crowds are always out at each service on Sunday. It is a pleasure to sit and hear the gospel expounded by this popular minister, it is a benefit spiritually and morally. The public is cordially invited to attend all services on each Sunday. Come out to the Sunday School see, hear and learn. On last Sunday at 11 a.m. on account of the inability of Rev. J. A. Lindsay Rev. J. H. Standard preached a very interesting sermon. Rev. Standard is one of St. Philips' local preachers and one of St. Philips' sons. It is a pleasure to hear him whenever he preaches. Quite a large crowd were out to the thanksgiving services Thursday. On Wednesday afternoon of last week Mrs. Louisa protor one of St. Philips' oldest and highly respected mnhunters was buried from St. Philip. A good and faithful member has gone to her reward. The grandest and most highly interesting concert will be given at St. Philip on Monday night. Come out if you want to be musically entertained. Services as usual tomorrow. F. B. B. Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. The covenant meeting on last Friday night was a soul-stirring one. to all who had the pleasure of being present. The meeting was led by Deacon John Marsh who knows just how to begin such meetings. The church was pleased to have its distinguished visitors at communion Rev. May, some of his deacons and members, Rev. Blair and Rev. Hill. They seemed pleased at the way Rev. Wright conducted affairs and spoke complimentary. On Sunday night, Rev. Wright read for the lesson, Luke 19:13. "Occupy all I come." He prefaced his sermon by saying, that when he first joined the church, he used to hear Deacon Marsh say so many things I come. He really does not hink why he communes the words so often, and one night after leaving the prayer meeting he was determined to find the words if they were in the bible. His search was successful as he found them in Luke 19:12. We should always be very careful as somebody is shaping their life by ours. If we a.e. very good someone wants to be just like us and if we are very bad there are some persons who have no more, sense than to want to be as bad as we are. Many a man and woman, many a boy and girl are away from home today because they are trying to be as bad as some one they know. The choir very sweetly sang, "Face, fade each earthly joy." Rev. Wright asked those who needed prayer to come forward while the church sang "Father I stretch my hands to Thee." Deacon Merchison with much fervor took their cases to the mercy seat. The collections for the day were very good. You are welcome to come any time. Union Baptist Church. Last Sunday was a great day at old Union. Those who attended, church on SCOTT BROS.

Sunday school at 4 p.m. Rosary, sermon and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at 8 p.m. With the first Sunday of Advent begins the new Ecclesiastical Year in the Catholic Church. Advent or the preparation for Christmas, is with Lent the holiest time for the faithful Catholic. During that sared season, Holy Mother the church exhorts her children to prepare themselves by prayer and serious meditation for the great solemnity of Christmas, Advent lasts for four weeks, reminding us of the 4000 years which preceded the coming of Christ into this world. It is expected that the members of St. Benedict's will during that Holy, be faithful not only to the attendance, but the Holy Sacrifice of the heart which is their most sacred obligation, but that they will also attend regularly the evening services. Father Dahlent, who is at present in New York and attending the great Jubilee Celebration at St. Benedict's Church, will be back in this city by the end of the week, and preach the two sermons next Sunday. The evening sermon will be most interesting to Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Odd Fellows on the Move. The dispensation is now open for the new lodge which name represents the old Indian chief.

Nov. 24, 1908 To the EDITOR SAVANNAH TRIBUNE—Allow me space to say something for the Grand United Order of Odd-Fellows. To the delight of Odd-Fellows, Grand Master B. S. Ingram has at last opened the door of hope for those that have been claiming for admission in the order. Prof. Ingram has proven to be a ready thinker in things that tend to build up the order and to make it noble and grand, and surrounded as he is by such officers and counsellors as Hon. B J Davis, A Graves, Col. H L Johnson, Dr. Cain, Singleton and his corps of deputies together with many reforms recommended by the District Grand Master, we will be able to report four thousand new members and one thousand backsliders and reinstate many old lodges. Know to the brotherhood: let us do, moe work and less abusing our Grand Lodge officers, then Odd-Fellowship will flourish like the green bay tree throughout our land and country, so I call on the members of the order in this great empire State, to wake up from that state of lethargy and let the light of true Odd Fellowship shine in your breast. In this new birth of the order now in the state. We should form a double cross to assist the link, and put forces together; all fighting for one common cause, laying down all contentious and abuse of men for another advancement of the order. After all the secret of Odd-Fellowship is work and obeying the mandates of the superior officers then when the great day of reckoning comes, we all will be rewarded according to our works.

WOMANS REALM Fish For Invalids.—A nice way of cooking cod for invalids: Wash and dry the fish, shrinkle well with flour, a little pepper and salt and put in a dish-which is well greased with butter. Pour over sufficient milk to cover bottom of dish about an inch in depth (more if liked). Cover down and cook in a hot oven until quite loose from the bone, hasting frequently all the time. This makes a tasty dish, generally being eaten with relish, as it is quite free from fatness and no flavor being lost. The milk serves as a sauce, being thickened with the flour while cooking. Band Stitching. Very smart are the skirts with from thirteen to nineteen gores, each seam stitched on the outer side, so that it seems to indicate a narrow blas band. To be very correct these skirts should be four inches from the ground. These skirts have been extremely fashionable this summer, and in heavier weights will be worn during the next month or two.—Indianapolis News. To Dispel Flesh. If you are overstout, don't use drugs. They may bring on another evil worse than flesh. Use the flesh brush. Get a square cornered clothes brush of manila fibre. At first the skin will be sensitive, but use the brush gently and steadily and it will not irritate. Pay attention to the muscles of the shoulders and arms, and especially the back of the neck where that unsightly mound of flesh rises. Whenever you can walk, do so. Imagine that the trolley car engenders disease. When you feel sleepy go out in the sunshine on an interesting mission. Do your sleeping at night and omit the afternoon nap. — New York Times. She Can Gossip in 13 Tongues. Martéina Kramers, of Rotterdam, ranks among the first of women linguists. She can read and speak thirteen languages, and there are few men in the world who can equal that record. Besides, she has sufficient knowledge of seven other languages to converse in them, and she has planned to add a new language to her list every six months for several years.

Laura White, of San Francisco, expects to become the richest woman in the world. After several years of prospecting she has discovered a gold vein in Nevada, and now is directing mining operations personally. The pluck and thoroughness that have made woman so successful against men in the world of work tell the story of Miss White's winning of wealth. She saw nothing in a future as a clerk in a San Francisco office, so she studied mineralogy and struck out into the Nevada mountains. She met the disappointments that seem to come to every prospector, but her confidence never waned, and finally she marked down a gold vein on a mountainside that had been searched by scores of men. She filed her claim and was ready for work before news of her rich find reached the public, and when men rushed in to stake out claims it was found the young woman had obtained control of every square foot of promising ground. Miss White directs the work of a large force of miners, and it is said that when below ground she wears men's clothes.—New York Press. Temper Told by the Hair. Girls with blue eyes and straw-colored hair generally have a far calmer and happier life, as a rule, than those with big dark eyes and olive complexions. The fair girl is almost sure to be level headed in her love affairs, and to make a sensible marriage, but she will be much more fickle than the dark girl, because her feelings will not be so deep and passionate. Dark girls are more emotional; love means so much to them that their feeling is deeper and more lasting than the love of fair girls, or so the learned such matters say. Brunette women make very loving and demonstrative mothers, but they do not understand discipline. Fair women train their children best for a prosaic and every day life. It is said that fair children are easier to bring up than dark ones, as their ailments are less likely to be serious, and they have more vitality to resist disease. Dark persons of either sex fret and wear themselves to fiddlestrings with nerves and emotional worries in a manner most uncommon among the more phlegmatic, fair-skinned people. Auburn-haired people must be judged alone. The mother of a daughter with ruddy gold locks and dark eyes must be on the lookout for trouble. The course of true love rarely runs smoothly for the dark- eyed, auburn-haired girl.—New York Telegram. We Angered English Suffragist. Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson still is trying to convince the English that American women are interested only in themselves. It is the dull season for the suffragette in England, and probably that is why Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson is raking over the old caals. She was not especially gratified by the results of her mission here, and she has deemed it wise to grow more emphatic in her criticism of the American women than she was a few months ago, when fresh from her fruitless visit to this country. Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson and Mrs. Humphry Ward agree that there is little prospect of a campaign here for the ballot box for women, but the novelist has been more reserved in her accounts of her meetings with American woman in their clubs and homes. Of course, woman is entitled to her own opinion; still it seems the part of a blind courage, if not audacity, for an Englishwoman to stay here a few weeks and then return to her home to deliver a verdict upon American womanhood. The trouble with Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson and Mrs. Ward is that they have not welghed the radical differences in the positions of women in this country and in England. The incentive to agitation, to the baiting of legislators and Cabinet members, does not exist here as in England, where women still remain more or less vassals in the eyes of the law—New York Press. Overcoming Carlessness. · A group of mothers were lamenting about the carelessness of children and men in eating, and the drain these hard times of big laundry bills. "My family scarcely spot the cloth any more," laughed one of the mothers. "They find it too expensive! I used to have a tablecloth a day in the wash, and then could scarcely keep them respectable looking." "The laundry bills were huge, as my one girl could not possibly do them at home, and the wear and tear on the linen was as bad. "Finally I hit on the plan of making each member who made a spot cover it with money, penniles for the children from their own allowance and silver from the grown-ups. "We voted what to do with the money. I was for the hospital, but the rest preferred to devote it to something for the table, so we started a fund to buy new table linen and china. For the first month or so we had a flourishing bank, but now all have grown so careful that our fund grows slowly."—New York Press. NEWEST FASHIONS Newer than the ribbon band about the collar is the pleating of gold braid. Gray paste pearls as heads to long hat pins are worn with light colored satin hats. Pocket handkerchiefs have wide colored centres and hems, the initials done in white. Russian fish-net veils in dull bronze are cut entirely square and go over the entire hat. Borderanto is the name of the new chifon auto velling. It comes in handsome colors with dainty hairline stripe borders. Ball gowns, especially some of Grecian design, are worn without gloves even though their sleeves are merely apologies for sleeves. A large brown felt hat has no other trimming than six great brown roses, some pale tan with golden hearts, others deeper in tint. Narrow belts of soft suede in pa, tel colors, to wear at the top of high directoire skirts, are finished with onlong silver and gun-metal buttons. Pretty, but injurious to the eyesight, are the Breton face vells, loosely draped round the hat and capable of being thrown back over the face. Three-inch belts of, braided soultache, with wide buttonholes, through which a. satin sash is run, tying at the side, are finished with tassels of soultache. Black suede button shoes will be a good choice for feet that can not be described as of Cinderella proportions; the dull surface tends to reduce the size in the kindest manner. Blouses are cut like a long yoke, as fulness underneath the skirt will interfere with its proper fit.

The rooster is its fitting herald. It is a farm of 33,000,000 acres that up to 1860 had less than 100,000 people, men, women and children, within its confines, and even as late as 1890 had barely turned the million mark. It has come through more tribulations than almost any State in the Union. It has had floods and winds and crop failures and insect plagues and the racking fortunes and misfortunes of war, general and particular, to combat. There were years when the weakest of its population turned from it, hungry and heartbroken, haggard and hollow eyed, cursing its streeless prairies and cruel seasons; there were other years in which its boldest and most earnest, picked up their belongings and trekked to populate other and newer States—Oklahoma, for example. Even today its population, down to the last negro rostabout or Chinese laundryman, numbers barely a million and a half. But last year its farm products alone, upon conservative calculation, were worth $463,648,607.58. Its barns are full, its banks are fuller, and its great crops are even now rumbling to market to bring 'n more money. Its total of recorded mortgage indebtedness is only $47,609,807, and most of that, outside of the big lump on Kansas City, is for the buoying of "more land."

On one of these occasions recently the story was Mrs. Peary's Snow Baby. The narrator must have been more than ordinarilyylvld in her descriptive passages, for at the end of the ceremonies a little Italian boy came forward and made his modest plea.

My husband's cousin bought the pictures from us, 'The Unexpected Return' and five others, for next to nothing. When she got the pictures home the rest of the family did not like them, so without a word of warning she packed them up and expressed them back accompanied by a little note requesting me to refund the foney.

The delinquents continue to come in dur- ing April, May, June and even as late as July. Thus, for example, although the state probibition law went Into effect January 1, 1908, the proceeds from tho old tax- on Uguor received during the present year has amounted to $14,600, according ta the figures in the oflice of the comptroller general. -“Yet to every suggestion of a change in the present fiseal system there is strenuous opposition. If it 1s pro- posed. to change the fiscal year so that it will_stand from July 1 to July 1, there Is objection, If the proposed change affects the time at which tax es are to be returned, there fs stilt more’ vigorous complaint, = Stil some system of tax reform is universally “agreed to be necessary.

He thought affairs in Ghina would from now on advance rapidly toward Euro- ean ideals, and though progress will bo less rapid than fn Japan, China would in thirty or even twen(y years be transformed into a nation on an equal footing with the other great nations of the world. Professor ‘Hirth had no bellef in tho report that foul play had-entered into the death of the Dowager or the Emperor. In regard to the general attitude of the influential parties and individuals toward the new rule, ne sald: “T think the events of the nest few weeks or ‘days will determine the question of bloodshed or peace. I think that both Liberals and Conser- vatives aro ready to walt quietly fn order to see what course the Govern- ment will take. Prince Chun fs a Liberal, and he had enough followers, T think, among the really dangerous party, the overardent Liberals, who might be called the Anarchistie party, to avert any trouble from them. “Prince Chun, I believe, Is an able man. He bas visited Germany on a diptomatic mission. He alone of thoze who have come into great power in China has seen Europe; that single fact should be enough’ to show in ‘what direction his rule will tend.” Speaking In a general way of the death of Emperér and Dowager he sald: “It appears to me a very beneficial thing for China. The antagonistic relations between the two and the control by the Dowager of the Em- peror roused great dissatisfaction among the Liberals, who had rested their hopés on the Emperor.

He was called to his frdht door at night and killed with a charge of buckshot. His wife bad but a fleet- ing glance at the assassin and could give no clew to bis identity, Hursh was questioned about the erime at the inquest, but protested that he had no knowledge of it. Bem- bers of the family swore that he was at home when the shot was fired, and Hursh apparently .had been elimin- ated from the list of suspects when one of the jurymen, an aged negro, spoke up. ¢ “Try the voodoo test on him,” urged the negro. “What's that?” inquired the Coro- ner. “Get Hursh's gun and fire it off again While he is standing by. If he did the murder the gun will sweat blood.” The Coroner was disinclined to take this step, but others urged it on him and he finally consented. Hursh declared that {t was a matter of in- difference to him whether the teat ‘President's Promise to an Ohio «© Veteran of the Civil War. ‘Washington, D. C.—General.H. C.

Cer- tainly they are as well fitted for Ib- eral institutions as any Osfental na- tlon—better fitted than the Turks or Persians, as well fitted, I think, as the Japanese.

A murmur aroso among them, and the suspense was more than the prisoner could bear. Ho turned to the gun to examine it, and the man who had suggested the voodoo test pointed to a red stain near the muzzle of the weapon. Hursh became agitated and seemed on the point of making a dash for liberty ‘when he was selzed by a deputy. - Without further investigation the party filed back into the court room, where in a few moments the jury held Hursh responsible for the kill- ing, and Coroner Lewis signed the gozmitment. ‘When the prisoner saw that he was to be cent to jail on the strongth of the voodoo test he took a sbarp knite from his pocket and with one stroke ended his life, Subsequertly more careful examin- ation of tho red stain on the muzzle of the gun was made and beyond any doubt it was established to be noth- ing buttust.

Washington, D. C., November 16.— One of the most important decisions ever rendered touching the interests of the Negro Masonic Order in this coun- try was handed down by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last week. In this particular deeision all of the rights and dignities of the Grand Ledge of Masons, which was estab-, Ushed In 1848, were maintained, and the so-called Grand Lodge that sprang up here about twelve years ago, known, as the Jones faction, was enjoined In every respect from acting as a Grand Lodge of Masons or using the name of Masonic Grand Lodge on any oc-! casion whatever. ‘About two years ago the Grand Com- maidery of Knights Templar of the ‘District of Columbia held a grand con- slave In Washington, D. C. On the day of the celebration a bill was filed in the, Equity Court to restrain the regular Grand Lodge of Masons, the Grand Commandery and the Grand Chapter from acting In their respective capacities as Masonic bodies, This dill was filed not because it was being dis- turbed in Its work, but to humilfate’ the dlder body in the very presence . of its brethren and guests from other jurisdictions. Grand Master Willlam H. Grimshaw, Grand Commander W. Judd Malvin ‘and the Grand High Priest were made parties to the bill. Grand Master Grimshaw called to- | gether the craft in mass meetifig and ali of the subordinate lodges unhesl- tatingly contributed Nberally to pay the expenses of the defense in the action. which had been brought against them. The best legal talent in the District of Columbla was em- ployed. Grand Master Grimshaw worked diligently and assiduousl$ in preparation of the, testimony and had his attorneys not only answer the bill of injunction filed against the Grang Lodge and represented by him, but in- structed them to file a cross bill In the action so as to stop for all time any annoyance from the so-called Grand Lodge which made the attack, aud who was represented by one who called himself Graud Master Scott. The decree in this case Is most sweeping In {ts terms.
