New York City.—Henry H. Rogers- vice president of the Standard Oll Company, moving spirit in the organiza- tion of the Amalgamated Copper Company, builder of railroads, and philanthropist, died at his home here from a stroke of apoplex. Death abandoned in hour after Mr. Rogers had vison for the day, mentioning to his wife that he was feeling ill. Mr. Rogers was 69 years old. Mrs. Rogers, three married daughters, a son—H. H. Rogers, Jr.—and Dr. W. J. Pulley, a physician, who was hastily summoned, wore at the bedside when the end came. News of the financier's death did not become generally known until about two hours after it occurred. There was hardly an appreciable effect on the market when Wall street opened. After a decline at first in the stocks in which he was popularly supposed to be interested, conditions rapidly adjusted themselves, confirming in a way that Mr. Rogers had in the last few months anticipated death and withdrawn from the market. Conspicuous among the early callers at the Rogers home was Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), for many years one of the most intimate friends of the late financier, Mr. Clemens was too moved to full express his feelings, "It is terrible–terrible!" he said briefly, "I am inexpressibly shocked," and, with tears in his eyes, he quickly moved away and hurried to the Broughton residence, where he joined a number of Mr. Rogers' associates who had gathered there. Henry H. Rogers was one of the most successful men of the so-called Standard Oil group. He began life as a poor boy at Fairhaven, Mass., where he was born and retained his legal residence there until the day of his death. He is variously reported as having commenced life as a newsboy and as a driver of a grocery cart. Mr. Rogers was a man of many friends and an enthusiastic yachtman. Until recently he held the reins of the Standard Oil Company following the retirement of John D. Rockefeller. His fortune is variously estimated at from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, which will make his son H. H. Rogers, Jr., one of the richest men in the country. Mr. Rogers' first wife died fourteen years ago, and he is survived in addition to his second wife, by four children, the son mention and the following daughters: Mrs. W. E. Benjamin, Mrs. Urben H. Broughton and Mrs. William R. Coe. TRIBUTE TO DEAD HEROES. President Taft Delivers Address at Petersburg, Virginia. Petersburg, Va.—Paying a tribute alike to the soldiers of the north and the south, President Taft witnessed the unveiling of an heroic statue in bronze erected at Fort Mahone, on the Petersburg battlefields, in memory of General Hartranft and the Pennsylvania volunteers who fell in the stubborn fight about this outpost of the confederate capital. The president, coupled with every tribute to the union soldiers, a eulogy of the valor of the confederates. "We could not dedicate this beautiful and enduring memorial," he declared, "to the volunteer soldiers of Pennsylvania, who were a sense of injustice and appropriateness had they not been confronted by an enemy capable of resisting their assaults with equal vigor and fortitude. Pennsylvania's pride must be in the victory achieved by her men against so brave, resolute and resourceful an enemy." The president declared that the battle between the states had to be fought and that enduring good had come of it. 10,000 DEAD AT ADANA. First Estimates of People Killed Exaggerated. Adana, Turkey.—The estimates of from 20,000 to 25,000 Christians killed by Mohammedans in the province of Adana, made a fortnight ago, must be revised. It is now ascertained that the number can hardly reach more than 10,000, possibly less. Thousands who were supposed to have been killed in the country districts have since come into some of the large towns for relief. Fugitives from the villages or settlements who first reached the large towns after the masacres began, exaggerated, through their fears, the extent of the slaughter. MISSING MAN FOUND. "Wild Man" of Mississippi Swamp Captured by Sheriff. Prentiss, Miss.—Sheriff Leird captured in the swamps near here a man who has shunned all civilization for the past five years, and whose presence in isolated communities with his unkempt and weird appearance earned for him the title of the "wild man." He was covered with only a scanty portion of ragged garments, his nails were five inches long and his hair and beard reached almost to his waist. He refused to eat cooked food when it was offered to him. He was identified as Marvin Whitehead, whose relatives have long searched for him. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. ENGLAND LEADS THE WORLD. Washington, D. C.—The international commerce of the world established a new record in 1907, with an aggregated value of $3,000,000,000, according to figures compiled by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The trade of every country, colony, protectorate and island in the world which makes any report of its commerce is included in the statement. Practically two-thirds of the vast total is credited to Europe, whbose exports are estimated at $8,000,000,000 and imports at $11,000,000,000. North America, including Central America and the West Indies, exported nearly $2,500,000,000 and imported a little less than $2,000,000,000. Asia supplied about $1,500,000 of the exports and received about the same value in imports. South America sent forth about $750,000 worth of goods and imported slightly less. The United States exported $2,133,000,000 of goods, or a little more than 14 per cent of the world's grand total, while the imports aggregated $1,156,000,000, or about 9.2 per cent of the total. The ten countries which contributed more than two-thirds to the world's total commerce, for the year, in their order, were the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Austria-Hungary, India and Russia. GREAT FIRE LOSSES. Six Million Dolals' Worth of Property Destroyed in April. Washington, D. C.—Federal experts who are making a study of building materials that will best withstand fire and who are, therefore taking a keen interest in the fire losses as they are reported for the entire country, declare that in spite of all efforts toward better building conditions, the death and destruction due to fires and conflagrations in 1909, will eclipse all previous records, with the exception of the years in which the Baltimore and San Francisco fires occurred. They point to the fact that in sixteen days of April, five big fires in different parts of the United States resulted in a loss of six million dollars, the death of twenty persons, the death of a man, and the remaining homeless of more than 3,000. The greatest of these fires was at Fort Worth Texas, resulting in a property loss of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, and the second in importance was at Rochester, N. Y., with 'a loss of half a million dollars. TELEGRAPHERS' ELECT OFFICERS. 1909 Convention in Atlanta Comes to a Conclusion.

Eling, ill—James Dougherty, for the last twenty years an attendant and employee at the Northern Illinois Insane Asylum, has been taken to the institution as an inmate. Perfectly sane, according to physicians at the hospital, Dougherty left the institution two months ago on leave of absence. A fortnight ago he returned and in a few days he had become violently insane. Dr. Podstata, superintendent of the hospital, declares that constant association with insane patients was not the cause of the man's afflictions, but local physicians are inclined to believe that it was. A MODERN ELIJAH. Man Waited for Ravens to Feed Him, But No, Raven, Came. Chicago Ill—E. M. Brock, the aged Zion City man who lay four days under a tree during the severe storms, waiting for the ravens to feed him, is slowly recovering from the exposure. He had read about Elijah being fed by ravens and he decided to try it. He had enough faith to last four days, during which he prayed incessantly, but the fierce April tempest came up and the ravens were not on the job. Horrible Method of Sulctde. Cedar Rapids, Iowa.—A victim of ill health for many years, Miss Mary Sadler, near Toledo, chose a sensational method of suicide. Making an excuse that she was going to the home of her brother, Miss Sadler left home and went to a small lavine, where she raked together a pile of leaves, saturated them and herself with kerosene and applied a match. When found the woman's body was burned to a crisp. $500,000 Fire Loss in Akron, Ohio. $500,000 FIRE LOSS in AKRON, OHIO.

HOLD-UP ON SOUTHERN ROBBERS GOT ABOUT $200 Robbery Occurred Near Augusta Where Bandits Left the Train—Large Amount of Money Usually Carried on Train. Augusta, Ga.—Two robbers boarded Southern passenger train No. 17 at Warrenville, S. C., ten miles out, got the drop on Express Messenger Thos. L. Hutto, knocked him- senseless with a piece of rubber hose, pinned his arms behind him, took his keys, threw him into an empty express chest, locked him therein andransacked the car at will. The train makes up at Branchville and carries through express and mail from Charleston and Columbia to Augusta. E. C. Burrell, agent of the Southern Express Company at Augusta, states that the records show that the robbers secured about $200. This is the first time on record that the express has been of such small amount. The average currency express thereon is $2,500 to $10,000. The robbers rode into Augusta and left the train on Broad street, in the center of the city. No one on the train knew of the incident and the robbery was not discovered until the messenger was liberated at the union station, the negro porters who were engaged in unloading the express having located the imprisoned man by his vigorous kicking within the box. SENATOR: GORE URGES PROBE Wants Wholesale and Retail Prices of Commodities, Invested. Washington, D. C.—Senator Gore's resolution directing the committee on finance to conduct an investigation into wholesale and retail prices of commodities was discussed before the senate at some length. Seeking to have the resolution adopted, Mr. Gore said he wished to have statements concerning the extortionate prices of retail dealers fully probed so that the country might know just where the responsibility for high prices rests. That the cotton manufacturers sell their products with an agreement as the price at which they are to be sold at retail was the 'substance of a charge made by Mr. Owen. Demanding proof of this assertion, Senator Gallinger said that what the country is demanding is prompt action on the tariff bill. He added that it had been asserted that the business interests of the country were losing $10,000,000 a day, by the holding up of the tariff bill. Before that was done, in response to an appeal from Mr. Bailey the senate agreed to vote on Mr. Gore's resolution amendment as suggested by Mr. Bailey, so as to require the appointment of a select committee of four republicans and three democratic senators to conduct the investigation asked for, and to a vote of 55 to 29 was requested to the mittee on finance, Senators Bristow, Crawford and La Follette voting no with the democrats. RUSSIAN GENERAL RELEASED. Stoessel, Commander of Port Arthur, Pardoned by Czar. St. Petersburg, Russia—Lieutenant General Anatole M. Stoessel and Rear Admiral Nebogatov have been released from confinement in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul by order of Emperor Nicholas. The health of both men has been affected by their confinement. General Stoessel was found guilty by court martial of surrendering the fortress of Port Arthur to the Japanese and was serving a sentence of ten years. Nebogatov was sentenced for the same length of time for surrendering to the enemy at the battle of the Sea of Japan. Stoessel began his sentence March 20, 1908, while Nebogatov took up his quarters in the fortress April 15, 1907. The officers had been sentenced to death for having surrendered their commands, but, in view of the extinguishing circumstances their sentences were commuted to ten years imprisonment, which they began serving in 1907. ROOSEVELT HAS FINE TROPHIES Rhinoceros, Six Lions, Two Giraffes and Score of Smaller Animals. Nalrobi, British East Africa—Edmund Heller, one of the zoologists of the Roosevelt expedition, came into Nalrobi with fifty specimens of animal and bird life that are to be collected. The zoo includes one rhinoceros, six lions, two giraffes, twenty smaller kinds of game and a variety of birds. HOT MESSAGE FROM CLARK. Denies He Broke Laws as to Use of Free Transportation Tallahassee, Fla.-Speaker Farris had read to the house of representatives a telegram from Hon. Frank Clark, congressman from Florida, in which he said: "I denounce as unqualifiedly and basely, false any intimidation by legislative committee or other persons that I have violated any law in use of railroad transportation in Florida or elsewhere. I defy these people to institute proceedings here, there or anywhere. If they are honest and have proof, let them proceed. If they have not the proof they are not honest and dare not proceed." BANDITS WRECK TRAIN. Great Northern Passenger Is Held Up Near Spokane, Wash. Spokane, Wash—in a hold-up of the Great Northern passenger train, No. 3, between Colbert and Mead, 12 persons were injured, when the engi- ne and mall car started running down the track by the bandits, after they had riffed the malls, collided with the remaining cars of the train. The bandits detached the engine and mall car from the train, ran down the track a considerable distance and then, after the register- ed mall had been opened, they sent the engine back to collide with the cars standing on the track. The conductor saw the wild cars coming down the track at the rate of 25 miles an hour, when they were a short distance away, and he and one of the trainmen placed a tie on the track in an effort to stop their wild flight. The engine and car were partly stopped by this means, but plunged into the coaches. There was a loud crash, and passengers were thrown from their seats, most of the injured being hurt by glass from the broken windows. When the train reached Colbert, some switching had to be done. While the engine crew was busy at this work, two men suddenly appeared on the engine cab, and thrusting a revolver against the body of Engineer William Miller, ordered him to do as commanded. Two of the robbers then went to the door of the mail car and ordered it opened. Their command was obeyed by Benjamin F. Stumpf, the mail clerk. It is reported that the bandits obtained a large sum of money from the registered mall, the amount being placed at $20,000. Great Northern has offered a reward of $10,000 for each robber captured. PREDICTS HIGH WHEAT PRICES. Wheat King Patton Says Wheat Lands Ace, Raiza Groomed to Death Are Being Cropped to Death. Chicago, Ill.-James A. Patten, the board of trade and member of the Bartlett, Patton & Co., whose operations have received national notice during the last few weeks, reviewed the wheat situation and gave his opinion on the market in an address before the Flour Men's Club of Chicago. "I predict," said he, "that high prices will prevail all over the world for a year to come in wheat and that red winter wheat (soft wheat) will sell as high in America a year from now as it is selling now. "I cannot dwell too strongly on the law of supply and demand and the theory that the production of wheat in the United States has not kept pace with the increase in population, and I want to suggest that the trade each year will have to realize this condition in its future dealings and study from this standpoint. "The wheat lands are being cropped to death. Changes must come or we will suffer the result." STUDYING BATTLEFIELDS. Students of War View Historic Place Around Richmond. Richmond, Va.-The fields of Seven Pines, Fair Oak and Malvern Hill, which were fought over in the seven days' battle in which General McClellan's army was driven back from this city, then the capital of the confederate states, were traversed by the thirti-two student officers from the war college at Washington, who are encamped in Sherwood Park, just outside of Richmond, they will visit Cold Harbor, Mechanicsville, Frayser's Farm, Garnet Mill and other sites whose language is English, whose detachment of thirty-two officers and forty-two cavalry in their light marching order will travel to Lulsa Court House, Trevillans Station and Orange Court House to the theater of Stonewall, Jackson's famous Shenandoah valley campain. Newsy Paragraphs. The state bank of Calro, Nebraska, was dynamited, the vault and building being completely wrecked by three explosions. Every cent of cash was secured and the robbers made their escape on a hand car stolen from a section house. Seven Mexicans in a tent several miles south of Uvalde, Texas, were killed by a terrific hall storm. The storm, which swept a large part of southern Texas, was of unusual fury. The hall stones were the largest ever seen in that section. One man was fatally injured and four others were more or less seriously hurt in New Orleans when the new Bascule trunion bridge at the intersection of Esplanade avenue and Bayou street, snapped while being given a trial preparatory to being turned over to the city. The structure, which cost $50,000, is a practical wreck. Recent dispatches from the Duke of Abruzzi are entirely at variance with published reports of his depressed mental state, and of fears entertained by the rest of the expedition that his despondency will lead to a general disaster. The duke, according to the latest advises, is in the best of health and spirits, and his expedition has moved toward the interior of India without accident of consequence. Charles William Elliot; at the age of 75 has laid aside the robo of office which he has worn with so much honor for forty years as president of the Harvard university, and with characteristic simplicity, stepped back into private life, Abbott Lawrence Lowell assumes the office. PRESIDENT'S WIFE ILL Mrs. Taft Suffers From Nervous Breakdown. COMPLETE REST NEEDED President's Wife Was Taken Ill on Yacht Sylph and Was Hurried Back to the White House. Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Taft, suffering from a slight breakdown, was taken ill while on hqr way from this city to Mount Vernon on the yacht Sylph with a party of friends, and was hurried back to the white house. It was said at the white house that there no cause for harm, and that Mrs. Taft probably will be all right again in a few days. She was unable to be present at an official dinner at the white house. President Taft himself prepared the following statement in regard to Mrs. Taft's condition: "Mrs. Taft is suffering from a slight nervous attack. She attended the Eye and Ear and Throat University, where Charlie Taft underwent a slight operation on his throat. She was with him for several hours. She then started with the president and a small party of friends on the Sylph for Mount Vergon. The excitement, heat and exertion were too much for Mrs. Taft's nerves, and the party was obliged to turn back before reaching Alexandra. Mrs. Taft was quickly to the white house. The doctors say that after a few days of complete rest, Mrs. Taft may be able to resume her social duties. Dr. Delaney is in attendance. Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Taft's sister, acted as-hostess at the official dinner at the white house. HOLLINSWORTH NUZZLED. Foe of Jefferson Davis Riddled by Southern Newspapers. Washington, D. C.-Speaker Cannon muzzled Representative Hollinsworth, the Ohio congressman who has been trying to make a kick because the silver service to be presented to the battleship Mississippi is to bear the likeness of Jefferson Davis. Everybody is now laughing at the Ohioan because he only succeeded in getting into the official record of the proceedings all of the editorial attacks to which he has been subjected as a result of his agitation. Hollinsworth arose to a question of private agent a batch of paper-clipings to the clerk's desk. Most of them were from Mississippi and Louisiana papers, and all of them bitterly assailed Hollinsworth. Each was read, and the house laughed very heartily at all the ugly names applied to the Ohioan. Some of the things Hollinsworth was called in these editorials were "contemptible little whelp;" "political nonenity," "a gas bag," "windy misfit," "an ass of the first magnitude," "a pusillanimous pygmy," "cowardly little cuss, not worth a burrah in hell." After all this had been placed in the record, Speaker Cannon muzzled Hollinsworth. He ruled that he could not speak to a question of privilege, as his official character was not attacked in any of the editorials. Hollinsworth then asked unanimous consent to proceed. Francis Burton Harrison of New York, whose father was Jefferson Davis' secretary, objected, and Hollinsworth was seated. PROSPERITY RETURNING 35,000 Iron Employees to Get 10 Pcr Cent Raise. Pittsburg, Pa.—The announcement is made here that 35,000 employees of iron and steel companies, having headquarters here and in this vicinity, will receive an advance in wages averaging 10 per cent the first of June or the 1st of July.

Senator Depew Indorizes Statement That Tariff is a Local Issue Washington, D. C. — Republican though he is, Senator Depew of New York, in a speech in the senate, indorsed General Hancock's declaration that the tariff was a local issue. Mr. Depew advocated a duty on petroleum, saying that the majority of the product in this country is produced by independent operators. He declared that if the protection on cotton were removed the manufacturers of the Carolinas and Georgia would be wiped out, and that as regards iron, the same would be true of Alabama, Tennessee and West Virginia. LATE NEWS NOTES. The Standard Oil company announces another five cent reduction in the prices of crude oil, bringing it down to $1.68 per barrel.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery of Philadelphia has given out a statement to the effect that there will be presented to the next congress at its opening in December a petition bearing one million names, writing a sixteenth amendment to the constitution, giving women the right to vote. Without any flourish of trumpets Japan has made considerable strides in the matter of alrship building, and while the ufmost secrecy is maintained, there is reason to believe that an inventor of some repute has recently patented improvements that are calculated to startle aerosists all over the world. Arkansas claims to have the largest peach orchard in the world and 1,000 men and three hundred teams are harvesting the crop. The orchard is in Sevier county and has two hundred thousand trees. It covers two thousand eight hundred acres and trees on two thousand acres are bearing. Five hundred freight cars will be used to haul the crop to market. Guglelmox Fererro, the Italian historian, writing in Fligaro, a French newspaper, on the analysis of the American millionaire, calls Carnegie the ideal American Croesus, on account of his generosity. He says that the hostility to Rockefeller grew out of the mystery in which the oll king hid himself. Colonel Roosevelt's relatives have received news that the colonel, besides shooting lions—antelopes, a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus, has captured alive a remarkable animal hitherto unknown. It is described as being something between a zebra and a giraffe. A beef famine is threatened in England on account of the alarming shortage of imports of American and Canadian cattle. The meat dealers are appealing to the government to take the embargo on Argentine cattle Washington. Japan is acting in good faith with the United States in restricting immigration, according to John H. Snodgrass, consul at Kobe, who conferred with the president on conditions in the Orient. He declared that immigration from Japan to the United States has ceased, and that Japan is refusing passports to subjects who wished to come to this country, except those who have business here that requires their presence.

A committee amendment restoring the Dingley duty on umbrellas and increasing the duty on umbrella material has been adopted in the senate. The senate amendment increasing the duty on watches and watch movements, and requiring the name of the foreign manufacturers to appear on watch movements, has also been adopted. The supreme court has reversed the decision against Cello Bellasio & Co., made by the court of claims, who sued for the cost of transportation of wives and children of the Spanish officers who surrendered at Santiago and Manila. They carried the wives and children of the officers as first-class passengers, but the United States claimed that under the contract strictly construed they should have been carried in the steerage.

It is the theory of the professional policeman of America that the Italian criminal comes to us through France and Canada.

He becomes, "more likely, a willing and useful tool of the Black Hand, a dependent on the generosity of more thoroughly acclimated criminals. The stealthy delivery of blackmailing letters, the stabbings, the bomb plantings, and even the mur- ders of the Black Hand type are done by men who are 50 ignorant and so helpless that they face starvation if they do not carry out the orders of the Black Hand thugs who house and feed them after their surreptitious entry into the United States.—Everybody’s, Masseurs of modest means need no Jonger wince at the cost of expensive electric machines;‘for a man in Ohio chas devised a vibrator that answers } sar ery , c RA o | i Wa O) 11 yl v/ . ht \ , i. ry rom) TF ty PSS a Rule | i 4 New Massace Tool, all ordinary purposes, and has the advantage of being always “charged” and easily portable, The device con- sists of a casing containing a train of intermeshed gearing, which latter is operated by a crank shaft project~- ing outside the casing.

Each week the departments of Farm and Farmers, Woman’s Kingdom, Great Agricultural South, Farm- ers’ Union, Rural Free Delivery. Poultry and others of wide interest, edited by experts, appeal directly to those addressed. . ~ The Weekly Constitution contains all these special features and the difference between it and The Tri-Weekly is that the one is issued once a week (on Monday only) and the Other three times a: week—Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

It is the great news purveyor, of the whole Southland, as good in the gulf states as on the Atlantic seaboard. | Clubbed with The Atlanta Constitution, we have the superb FREE OFFERS shown from which you may make your choice of one: (1) Talks From Farmers to Narmers, a symposium of Southern farm knowledge that should be in the hands of every practical farmer, young or old. The articles have all ap- peared in Tri-Weekly Constitation under same title and made one of the greatest features of this splendid farmers’ paper. It will be mailed to you immediately upon receipt of order. (2) The Southern Ruralist, one of the best agriculfural papers in the south. It is a semi-monthly edited by a farmer on his own farm, and is intensely practical and helpful. (3) Paris Modes, a woman’s magazine, monthly. There are fashions in it, as the title indicates, and they are right up to date. Do not think they are alljof the sylph-like, hipless, clothes-pin styles of the extreme devotees of the changeable flirt called “Fashion.” They are all pretty and becoming and up to date, so that the ladies may feel-wel]-dressed and in the style who follow them. But you get more than mere fashions. There are stories, poems, storyettes, incidents of travel, seasonable articles for entertainments, home keeping, cookery, care of the person, sanitation and hygiene, plant culture and all the rest that go to make up a monthly feast for the busy woman who reads as she works, who relaxes from one task and finds charm in the ever-varying features of woman’s work that is said to be never done. ouR GREAT PROPOSITION Remember, our paper one year, and THE TRI-WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday, three times a week, for one year, and your selection of one * from the three alternate free offers, all for $1.75; or the whole combirfation (except that The Weekly Constitution is substituted for the Tri-Weekly) for only eens: wee s+ SLAO Send at once.

I replied: ‘Youngman, have you ever been in the drug business?” He sald that he had not. ‘Then,’ sald I, ‘take my ad- vice and try that business first.” “I recommended drugs because the law requires him to serve apprentice- ‘ship before he-can start in business, ‘while in the chicken business there {s no such requirement: The result is it 1s seldom we hear of a druggist failing, and seldom we see such a maniwhert.he starts;im the poultry business: make it a success, because. fully ninety per cent. of such poultry- ‘men have servedno’ apprenticeship.

Our white friends in Florida have no fear of ‘‘Negro domination.” Donrne the past two’ weeks we have had appeals froma number of worthy young: girls to agsist them in securing employment of some kind. This speaks volumes. We have always contended that if we had more business enterprises, orif dur people would give un- stinted support to the ones we now have, there would naturally be openings for many of these young ladies. : Ir required two white men to assault a frail colored woman in the south side the other night, one of the men even used ,a stick on the unfortunate woman.

In the light of the actual situation to our manhood right, it is very significant that souls of influence and power are touched and their tongues’speak out for justice. There are men who would face belching cannons. There arethose who would ‘‘beard the lion in his den.” In faét the majority of men would face emi- nent danger, were they armed with the authority of law. But few men there are, by way of com- parison, who would face public opinion, when public opinion is wrought up by acts revolting, if right. Hence, he who does it, fearless of the force of foe, and uninfluenced by’ the fervor if friend, he, itis, “in whom the elements of nature are so com- bined” that all men will hasten to call him great. We, as a race, should not forget those who serve_us well,.by their contentions for justice and equity before the law. Though their efforts may nut bring to us indi- vidual aid, and though such con- tention: have no bearing whatever, towards. usas a race, if said con- tentions be for “justice towards all men and snagial privileges to none,” we should applaud them, because each of such efforts is a stepping stone, leading to an un- biased fulfillment of the law. It is said that everything that is right isnot expedient. This may betrue and in many cases its truth is unimpeachable. But in cases where the Iaw of the land esta- blishes the fact. expedience_would be cowardice, into the mire of which stalwart manhood would dread:to fall. - It is never expedi- ent to yield to unfounded whims when yielding: would be an admis- sion of the strength of mere senti-| ment as against law. ‘Although’ men who do their duties well, do not crave praise for their performance, neyerthe- less, we should hasten to contri- bute our mite of praise and con gratulation even against their will. Commendation for valiant service done assures the doer that men are not like “‘dum) driven cattle;” but are awake and uliye to the achieve- ments of the great ones among them. The laws of our land are just and those whose duty it is to execute them, we assume, are just in the performance of their duties as they see them. But we do not always see rightly for the “beam” of prejudice innate or cultivated, obséures the vision and our acts are based upon the facts as we see them by means of-.this imperfect vision. Before it; right oftimes looms up, but is mistakeu for wrong. ‘Ihe reverse is also true. = But withal, the effort put forth by Lawyer Oliver in the’ McRae trial, and the fearless and impar- tial decorations he uttered, stand out alone in this period of pres- sure. If the “woodman is famous as he lifts his ax amoug the trees” then this one act attaches fame to this lawyer. Not because the words spoken had begring upon a Negro pre-doomed to the gallows, but rather because his efforts, words and worth were for the equitable administration of the law to white man and black man alike. His contentions were based upon law and the righteousness thereof brought forward the ac- quiesonce of the court. Let us pay homage to those to whom it is due. Let us not wich- hold our breath and fail to show thankfulness in cases where éffort is spent to have the law enforced, according to its righteous signifi- cation, Roy Reornat. A Timely Advice to : Now as the end of the school year is -oming’ nearer, some careless parents are inclined to-keep: their ychildren from school and to ‘let them “‘run and play” thisis certainly a great mistake; it not poly disturbs the good order of the school but it also Is the cause of serious. annoy- aace for our teachers and of « great dis- advantage forour children. During the Jast weeks of school term, real practical work is being done-Ina good school as the different subjects “seen. during the restof'the year are gene through again; and the child will grasp much better maay questions whea were halt myster- jous for it when it saw them for the first time, In many schools, the final exami- nations take place at the end of the school year, if the cbildrea miss these examina- tivns, how can the teachers judge whether thelr pupils are able to go. to higher grades next year? The vacation time is amply sufficient for the complete recup- eration of the children’s health and strength, Jt is wrong to deprive a child even of a part of pe great blessing of a good education.

The best time to market any kind of stock, for the most profit — Fruit producer is at the age when it cost the least per pound to produce Plants Potatoes in Fall. A rather interesting plan of potato culture is practiced by an English specialist named Vincent. His most surprising departure is planting the seed in the fall. This simulator this method that the crop is earlier and brings a much higher return per acre. Approfit of $300 per acre has been claimed for early potatoes planted in autumn and otherwise cultivated in the regular way—American Cultivator. When eggs are sufficiently preserved for two or three months they keep very well packed in dry salt or bran. The meat of the egg may shink and rattle within the shell when shaken, but its edibility is not impaired. Coating the egg with vaseline or butter will also keep it for a short time, or any application which effectively seals the pores of the shell and excludes air will prolong the freshness of eggs. If the egg is even momentarily submerged in boiling water, the albumen thereby becomes sufficiently coagulated to prevent the entrance of air. In some of the rural districts in England and Scotland eggs for home consumption are smutted over with a mixture of sulphur and lampblack, a cheap and effective preservative. But the lime water mixture is best for general purposes. American Cultivator. The modern silo. The silo is doubtless the greatest of modern institutions in connection with dugging. It is simply a modification and elaboration of the old potato or cabbage pit, and in fact the first silos were pits. What has probably deterred the modern silo from coming into universal use is, the rather prevalent idea among farmers, that it requires a great amount of skill and experience to ensure success, and that the silo of to-day is much further removed from the old pit than the reality. Experience, however, points to the fact that so long as the crop is cut at the right stage and put together with ordinary care, be it in stack, pit, or over ground silo—chaffed or unchaffed—success must result: the amount of waste being universally proportionate to the amount of care exercised. It is quite natural that being a new thing to many, and having heard reports of failures farmers have in the past not be in doubt that some by attempting to enslave them, but now with silos scattered all over the country, in every district, it is easy for them to see for themselves. As to the merits of any particular method or any particular structure of silo, opinions are varied. Each, doubtless, has something to recommend it, and only a man's particular conditions and requirements can determine for him the most suitable plan. The literature on silo construction of the Department of Agriculture which will be sent an application will furnish some useful suggestions.—American Cultivator. Why Trees Fail to Grow Most noticeably fact that a very large percentage of the trees planted each year in different parts of the country fail to grow. That this loss is larger than necessary is certain and the causes fruit are well worth looking into. Generally, the blame is placed on the nurseryman and the quality of the trees. In some cases the blanks just rightly placed, but in most instances it lies elsewhere. We may look for the cause in a number of different directions. Trees are subjected to more or less hardship between the time they are standing in the nursery rows and the time they are again set in the ground. Tracting the history of the free through the several steps in its digging and trampling, we find that it may have been injured or broken in digging. After removal from the ground it may have received more dirt and hot sun than was good for it. That trees may have been packed too wet or too dry, or the materials, used may have decomposed and given off heat to the injury of the trees. The transportation company headless of the nature of their cargo, may have blided it against hot pipes, near a smokey stack, or too near a stove. It may have been delayed in transport, when there is danger of this, the nurseryman should see to it that the trees are packed to stand delayed if they are lined with connedered. On arrival the purchaser may neglect them, the too may leave the trees exposed to the elements, in planting may have unduly exposed the roots to drying sun and wind. But by far the greatest cause of loss lies in the work of planting. When the nurseryman dig the tree he lifts about three quarters of its roots in the soil. The tops must, therefore, be not bark hard. The tree should be set in the same depth as in the nursery row. The tree should not set in soil that is too wet or too dry. If dry water should be set in planting, a brunched or more per tree when the hole is three quarters of the way filled up. Last and most important of all, the earth should be packed tight around the roots by hand. Tight packing is the key to successful planting.—Fruit and Nut Journal Marketing Cattle. The best time to market any kind of stock for the most profit to the producer is at the age when it will cost the least per pound to produce it. The steer to be sold at the greatest profit would probably be at about fourteen months old. But in order to make this profitable there should be no time lost in set-backs by letting up in the feed. The calf should come about with the grass, grazing and always have access to the grass and about all the milk from its dam it will take until at least four months old. In addition it should have a grain ration of some kind, not too much but enough so that it will always be ready for its feed. You can teach a calf to eat shelled corn about the easiest of anything else, but ground oats or wheat can be better bone-maker. Be careful to never overfeed. Good grass is nature's great producer of cattle. When time for winter feed use clover hay and ground oats through the winter until grass begins to be fit for use; then finish with pure corn meal, ground very fine. About the first of June they should weigh about eight or nine hundred pounds and bring about five cents per pound—that is from forty to fifty dollars per head, without any extra expense of keeping up large growth carcass for one whole year for a little more gain in weight. The keeping alone this second year will require more feed than you have used in making the finished product of the first fourteen months. Besides the price up to the first of June when grass cattle begin to go to market is always good. Now suppose you have been able to make this steer bring you forty-five dollars (which is reasonable), that would be, about ninety bushels of corn that he would buy, which of course looks like a good trade, while to finish one of the two or three year old steers will take about sixty bushels of corn alone, not counting his keep up to the litle of beginning, which is about nine months full feed with grass, or hay. J. G. H., in the American Cultivator. A Mixed Flock. In the mixed flock of the mongrel type, especially, and in a greater or less degree in all flocks, is there a difference in size or sustaining qualities among the fowls. Frequently where all are fed together some few will, be crowded back and, get little of the feed. Chickens are even more hoggish than hogs in feeding, and the individual of under-size stands little chance. As it gets less food, it is every time losing instead of gaining ground over its rivals, and shortly falls prey to seeming disease when it is simply crowded out. Where more than one rooster is wintered, we may think that all is going right, because we see no signs of fighting, when the fact is that one is kept away in some inaccessible spot and only steals a little food on penalty of its life. Watch if two or more are kept together, as is usually the case on the farm, that each gets its share. If they cannot live in peace, separate them in some way, even if one must go to the block. It often happens that the runt pig thrivers when removed, tq quarters where its previous disability is removed, and there are in flocks of varying ages similar cases. This is a most emphatic reason why the flock should be carefully culled and only a uniform retention of the fittest be allowed. Fowls speedily discover any weakness or defect in a companion, and are equally quick in taking advantage of it. The injuries resulting from this may not be especially noticeable, when the fowls, are running at large, but with the confinement necessary at this season it cannot but be damaging to the weaker individuals. If it is not practicable to make the further separation one would wish, at least stay by during the eating process; take pains to scatter a part of the food in some corner where the weaker birds will be protected; they will soon learn the favored point and ayall themselves of the advantage. If there is not room for all at the drinking fountain, enlarge it or provide a second. The feed box should be likewise enlarged. Here the dry mash has the advantage. If the wet mash is fed, in the usual way the fastest caters get more than their share; but with the dry feed, and the hopper system there is still room for the latter comers. Feather pulling is another abomination which is often forced upon the innocent fowls, more frequently starting through the idleness or rather enforced, inactivity of companions than as a positive vice. If there is an abundance of scratching material provided, there will be less inducement for any to sit around, like pupils unemployed, studying mischief. Then there are those which were late mounting their discarded plumage but a nuisance to both owner and the fowls that have properly mounted, their rough feathers a temptation to feather pulling. These should have blood chilled, and it is better late than never. Keep the best for your own use, and for the good, of the flock, aim for uniformity not only in breed, but in constitution, and vigor. - Besse L. Putnam, the American Cultivator. Horso Meat.

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to chloroform an injured cat or dog, whose place is it to pay for the anaesthetic? That is a question that arises very often in this town. Every day cats and dogs whose natural agility was not sufficient to keep them out of the way of automobiles and delivery wagons are mercifully dispatched by humane citizens. Sometimes the policeman who is called in carries the injured animal to a vacant lot and shoots it, but usually out of consideration for public safety, the chloroform route is chosen. In that case the question is, "Who shall buy the chloroform?" Simple-minded bystanders expect the policeman to buy it, but he rarely lives up to their expectations. "That animal isn't hurt, shy, is what he usually says. 'It don't need no chloroform. It'll be triskin' around like anything in a few minutes. Anyhow, it's best to notify the S. P. C. A." The sympathetic crowd, however, thinks the poor creature ought to be put out of its suffering at once, and sometimes a particularly affluent person contributes the required amount to buy the drug. In case the affluent humanitarian is conspicuous by his absence, the money is obtained by taking up a collection. Then there always is criticolum, the smallest subscriber usually wanting to know what the S. P. C. A. is for anyway, and what it does, with all the money it gets.—New York Times. LIGHT BOOZE Do You Drink It? A minister's wife had quite a tussle with coffee, and her experience is interesting. She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while on right duty, I became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should, want a good, hot cup of coffee about that time. It stimulated me, and I could keep awake, better." "After three or four years of coffee drinking I became a nervous wreck, and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent biting attacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days." "After Being married, Humband begged me to leave off coffee, for he feared, that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit. "I began taking Postum, and for a few days, felt the languid, tinged feeling from the lack of the stimulant, but I liked the title of Postum, and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. "Finally I began to feel, clearer headed and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum, I now feel like a new woman—have not had any billions attacks since I left off coffee." There's a Reason. Read "The, Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? I new one, appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. God alone has absolute, power to create. He might have retained this power forever. He chose rather to confer infinite honor and infinite responsibility to man by defending, to him the power to recreate. This power to perpetuate the race, as a subcreator, and to be a direct factor in determining his character and destiny, is divine. Its exercise in fatherhood is among the most sacred functions of existence. In this life alone its results for good or evil are beyond computation. Considered by the standard of an endless life, they are overwhelming. Were there not unknown possibilities for good results, in each experience, of parenthood, no man, an understanding what it might could venture to assume fatherhood. Much the larger share of human suffering comes through impaired physical health. Weakness and disease make men a burden on society, lead to poverty, drunkenness, social impurity, farcey and kindred evil. No man is free from guilt who transmits a single element of physical weakness or disease which he can avoid. The habitual use of stimulants and narcotics destroys nerve force and mental balance. Their effects are often more prominent in the second and the third generations than in those who first indulge. Purity in thought and act is an imperative demand which the sacredness of actual or possible fatherhood places on all men. In assuming fatherhood you are acting for God; exercising the holiest function ever given you. If a man goes out as the agent of a business firm, or the representative of a great nation, he must be loyal to the power which commissions him, and in whose name he acts. How much more when a man assumes fatherhood, in behalf of the infinite and eternal Father; when God gives him the power to transmit the tendency to love Him. Such a man must rather transmit the tendency to hate and disobey God; for which he, not his child, is responsible. This stupendous fact lies at the core of all true religion. The husband has to bear little of the passive service and continuous burdens which: attend, parenthood. The wife has an absolute right-to-all the help which pure love, egalitarian patience and tenderest sympathy can afford. This is due to the child also, who must suffer loss in proportion as these are withheld from the mother. If any husband denies these, or worse still, gives, in place of them, indifference, neglect, harshness or abuse, he becomes a shame to the name of fatherhood, a disgrace to his sex, an enemy to his own child, and a sinner before God. Healing of the Mind. I know a man who, though busily and extensively engaged in Christian service, was for long defeated in his thought life. The evil word and act were checked, but he could not prevent his thoughts from ranging over the land. He was brought into inyard bondage and despair. One night, at the close of a service, as the congregation sang the well known words: O 'Lamb of God, I come—" the thought broke upon him, and he saw that what he needed most of all was such "healing of the mind" as that unto which Christ pledges Himself. Falling upon his knees he cried as he had never done before: "O 'Lamb of God, I come!" And his testimony is 'that Christ brought him that night into an attitude of new surrender and enabled him to exercise new faith, calming this promise which has constantly been fulfilled to him: "The peace of God shall guard your heart and your thoughts!"—J. Stuart Holden. Herald Blasts. Never-borrow money—the chances are you can't. Never-run your neighbor down—he may hent you at the games. If you are living in the Lord your neighbors will rejoice in your life. Some men never pay any complements. They are too stingy even for that. A gentleman is never more polite to another woman than to his own wife. The way of nature is the survival of the strong; the way of grace is the salvation of the weak. There is little to choose between those who, blow themselves in and those who blow themselves out. The man who practices, what he preaches, before he preaches it, shall experience no difficulty in getting others to practice what he preaches. Birds, fling, flowers bloom, zephyrs blow—all mature smiles—for the sole purpose of keeping, in good humor, and still some old rascals refuse to be happy—Home Herald. Glorious Gift of Life Life, despite of all that oxynes or sentimentalists, ssa, is a great and glorious gift. There is good for the good; there is virtue for the faithful; there is victory, for the yallant. There is spirituality for the spiritual, and there is, even in this humble life, an infinity for the boundless, in desire. There are blessings upon its birth; there is hope in its death, and there is—to consummate all—there is eternity, in its prospect.—Orville Dewey. Bind Yourself to God. I thank Thee, O God, that I may strive to do Thy work in the world even when my heart is dry. I thank Thee that I may bind myself to Thee, even while I am crushed by my sins and shortcomings; that even when I doubt whether the love of God is in me, I may yet press nearer to Thee where only the heart can find rest. Rest in the Lord. Thou, O God, hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is恳挚, until it rests in Thee.—St. Augustina.

Typical New Yorkish An old woman, rusty of corn, and white of hair, got on a crowded Fifth Avenue elevated rihroad train in Brooklyn.

She belonged to that class of women, which, as styled, the unfortunate class by the charitably disposed and got a sharer dame, from those who still stand for the use of the Scarlet Letter, she ledged her man through the empire, with a backward look, which prevented an easy person from claiming her empty seat.

The newspaper-hidden male person covered closer, than, even, behind them hiding places. A young man, on the other side of the car got up, with an alight flush and somewhat of a shame, faced look.

Thejr sister, Kath- erjne, bubbling” aver with ‘enthu- slasm, came back with equal honors with her brothers, for'she made ser- eral flights as a pioneer of her sex in aviation. ‘The brothers and sister, while the most notable group in the ship's com- pany of the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, apo at the same time the most un- asdiming—the brothers almost timid in the nolsy demonstration in thelr honor, and looking as thoush ther craved the ald of the “‘magic carpet” which they have called into belng out of the realms of fancy to fly away. Flying, and not talking: is tHe forte of the Wright brothers, and what they had to say wag persuaded out of them by the insistence of their questioners. But that was more than they have ever sald before, and gives a clear Idea of their hopes, thelr plans and the field of the aeroplane as they know it at present. ¢ It 3 adapted to special uses, und not to regular passenger or freight service. It Is a vehicle for short trips in quick timo. It fs a pleasure car for those who like the thrill. About sixty of the machines have ‘been ordered by wealthy private clti- zens. mostly {n Europe. -The cost is $7500. The largest flying machine yet built by the Wrights carries two persons and has stayed in the alr two hotirs and twenty-seven minutes, fly- ing 127 kilometers (seventy-five miles). Powerfal Engine of Modern War. Mr. Wright says that machines will be built soon that will carry fourteen or fifteen persons. He does not antic!- pate any machine will cross the océan in the lifetime of any one now living. The governments of Europe are deeply interested in the Wright aero- plane, and several of them will adopt it. The European powers are not bothering with pleasure vehicles, and therefore they must see in the aero- plane some other use to which it can be adapted. - ‘Military experts of Europe claim that if the aeroplane can attain a height’ of 1000 feet it will be safe from rifle fire, the one mode of attack or defense to be feared. Wilbur ‘Wright said that he expected to dem- onstrate that his aeroplane could setely be driven at a much greater height than 1000 feet. ‘Therein the secret of the tremen- dous interest shown by forelgn gov- ernments through thelr military ex- perts is found. The net result of the trip abroad of the Wright brothers and the successful filghts of Wilbur is that the ‘most powerful engine of war the world has ever known 1s now out ‘of the experimental stage and ready to obliterate frontier lines the world over. ‘Wilbur Wright, who has solved the problem of aerialnavigation by means of a heavier-than-alr machine, is the type of man whe accomplishes things. ‘Tail as the average man, rather loose- ly put together, but in the easy, fric- tionless manner that denotes the tire- Jess human machine, »he carries no superfluous weight in his body, His face, slightly tanned to the tint of perfect health, fs firm, oval, but rath- er sharply drawn. The eyes are deep set and clear seeing. No lines have yet appekred In the face, except two ever-changing half circles on either side of his firm mouth, which give ex- pressfon when he fs talking, for his lips bardly appear to move. His ‘yolce {s low pitohed and modulated to a tone that makes it barely audible ‘two feet away. “Aeroplane Will Mako a Field For Itself.” Orville {s younger In appearance and has the complexion of youth. His build is much like that of the brother, but his eyes are more prom- fnent and his face without the sharp- ef lines. He speaks so much like his brother that only friends could tell which one was talking. Miss Wright 4s pretty, yivactous and charming, her smile always ready and bright. 2 whole-souled, outdoor American girl. ‘oats, Wickedliae Wan ae ‘Washington, D. C.—Owing to the failure of Congress to provide funds for the construction of a’ gas plant and balloon house at Fort Myer, James Allen, chief officer of the sig- pal corps, has been forced to change his plans for the aeronautical trials and jests at Fort Myer this summer. ‘The motor balloon will be shipped immediately to Fort Omaha, where a modern hydrogen gas plant and a hanger or balloon housd has been crerte® -_ 22 =e on = iihetes Jue Orst expression from Wilbur Wright on the future of the acro- plane as he sees it came after he had deen questioned about his own ma- chine. ‘ “New inventions find or make new fields for themselves,” he said. “I Delleve that this Is true of the aero- plane. It will not take the place of the automobile, the steamboat or the railroad train.| In a word, it will make a fleld for itself without usurp- ing a fleld-atready occupied. “The aeroplane will not compete with the railroad or steamship av a conveyor of passengers over great distances and in large numbers, and as a carrier of freight {t would prove a troublesome and unprofitable un- dertaking. Machines to Carry Sixteen May Be Built in Future. “At present I intend to build aero- planes for two and three passengers. ‘The number of passengers an aero- plane may carry is not limited to two or three, and ia the future they may be bullt'to carry @ dozen to sixteen passengers. “The aeroplane will find Its pres- ent usefulness after the manner of the automobile in its adaptability for quick trips over known routes, but will not take the place of the automo- ee “Will the aeroplane ever be able to make long trips—to cross the ocean?” ‘Wilbur Wright was asked. The lines about his mouth played curiously. “I am not bulfaing a machine to cross the ocean,” he andwered. “Do you think the dirigible balloon will be able to cross the ocean, or make regular trips between inland cities?”” “Tam not a balloonist and should not go into that field. It hardly seems practicable.” Mr. Wright then told of his con- tract to return to Germany and dem- onstrate his aeroplane, prior to its adoption by that government, and added, significantly, that in the last two months Germany had turned from dirigible balloons to heavier than-air machines. Found Nothing*Abroad To Adopt or Adapt. “Will your aeroplane be {mproved by the adoption of any ideas or fnven- tions you faund in Europe?” “We found nothing, and will adapt or adopt nothing. In fact, all the leading experimenters fn the same field have ordered ourmachines. Sixty are now under construction in France and Scotland. They are of the same model as the one I took over. All of these have been ordered in advance. ‘Their price will beabout $7500each.”” ‘Women in Flights ‘ Showed Splendid Nerve. : “They showed splendid nerve. None of them seemed in the least afraid or excited, and made splendid passengers. Taking thelr behavior, they certainly showed equal nerve with the men, and all of the men had good nerve,” sald Mr. Wright. “Miss Wright sald that she would not be able to return to Europe with her brothers in the early fall, as her father has not beenwell and het place Is with him. She said that ghey had hoped tliat the entire family might so to Europe, but that this plan had been abandoned, Orville Wright told of the plans of the brothers in this country. They remained in New York only over @ day, and ther wont to Dayton, Ohio, for a few days’ rest. Then they will go to Washington, D. C., where the experiments, which ended disastrous: Jy in the death of Liéutenant Sel- fridge and serlous injury to Orville ‘Wright, who has been prevented from making any filghts since, will be re~ sumed, Orville hopes that his in- jured thigh will mend enough to per- mit him to take part in the flights, + ‘The test 1s to be concluded before Jung 28, in accordance with thelr contract ‘with the United States Gov- ernment, Then they will remain for a while to give army officers lessons in the management of the machine.

Chide them it they are laggards and tell them that you do not want to be a mem- ber of a lodge-that is not prompt in rendering reports or obeying the edicts of the Grand Lodge. Masonry does not allow any politl- cal intrigues within its ranks. Those who are thus proned are made to un- derstdnd that their place is not in this grand old order. Our coming sessign will be replete with harmony. All of the delegates know what they want and will legis- late and act in a manner that be- hooves all good Masons. { Grand Master Butler holds the es- teem and confidence of the brethren who will show this-in a no uncertain way at the coming seséion. IMPRESSIONS BY THE WAY. Notwithstanding the fact that the rules and precedents of Masonry pro- hibit publicity, the daily press is full of accounts of Masonic meetings in which qames of candidates, workers and other data are published ih full There is a good deal of vanity in bu- man nature and most’ men like to see their names in print and perhaps much Masonie publicity arises from this source. The fathers in Masonry guarded the Institution with Jealous watchfulness, Not only was the pub- Me unaware of the times of meeting ‘but also ft was a difficult matter to find out who the members were. If ‘Masonic emblems were worn it was in a secretive manner about the clothing. But much of the present day Masonry is of the housetop varl- ety. It is elevated to the, public gaze. It is to be hoped that this tendency may be checked as the greatest a most powerful forces at work In th world are those which work in secre- cy. One of the most perplexing prob- lems which confronts every master fs how to interest the’ laggards. It {s a matter of figures that but ten per cent of the lodge membership is actively engaged in the work of Masonry. The balance are ued paying, function attending members. Just how to awaken ‘the interest of this ninet¥ per cent fs a problém which will require the services of some bright mind to solve. A few Masters have been found who by tire- Jess personal solicitatin have inter. ested a large per cent of the member. ship but when this activity: ceased the interest-lagged. The fault ig not with Masonry, but with the individ. vals who make up Its personnel. The only thing any master can do is to make his lodge meetings interesting, then if his. brethren fail"to show 2 proper interest they are the losers. It fs an old saying that you can lead ‘a horse to the trough but can't make him drink, | NARROWNESS. Strange, that some persons seem to want everybody to be alike! — The world would be rather monotonous if it were so, It must mean a broader grasp of life to enter Into the feelings of as many others, and look at life from as many viewpoints, as we can. We have seen again and again the person who raises’ the eyebrows with an exptession of hopelessness at the discovery that some other Is from a different section, has a different work in life from his, or gives the more im- portant place in Ife to things * he deems Important. It would seem a happier way to look closely at and enjoy the unusual beauty of any life, however different from ours, so that it has a pure purpose—to rejoice to see every man fit unto his pecullar niche in life arid fll it well, The machin- ery of life needs big, heavy, substan- tial wheels and more delicately wrought, more drnamental ones. Why should we be narrow and un- generous enough to want everybody to measure to one ‘set" Idea? Certain. ly the world Is still large enough, stil! has room enough, for each of us to possess and carry about with us an individuallty.—Orphan’s Friend. “We are overfond of change and amendment,” sald Grover Cleveland. ‘That Is a characteristic of the Amer fcan people, ang {s only too prdnounc- ed in American Masonry. We have too much legislation, and too many “modern improvements,” calculated to make two Masons grow where one grew before.~—New York Masonle Standard. = -AGNEW-ROGERS. Thé most talked about wedding among the colored residents, that has taken plice In White Plains in many years, was that of Miss’ Louise Anita Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. b William Rogers, of Fisher avenue, who was married last night by Rev. R. B, Page, in the Bethel Baptist Church to William Arthur Agnew, of Boston, Muss. The’ wedding guests. filled tha church and about a third of the guests were white people who were friends of the bride and groom. ‘The bride came in on the arm of her father and she was met at the door by her bridesmaids who escort- ed her to the altar where the groom and his best man met the party. ‘The nuptial knot was soon tied and the party and many friendsqtent to the home of the bride where a wed- ding supper was served, Mr. and Mrs, Agnew left town on the 10:06 train for their new home, in Bgston. , The bride's gown was white “satin made in Empire Princess style. She wore a tulle veil caught up with orange blossoms and carried a bou- quet of white roses and carnations. ‘The matron of honor was Mrs. Adelaide F. Howard, of this village, and she was attiréd in a gown of cream colored satin. The brides- maids were Miss Loutse Magill, of New York, Emma Kinsley, Mae Low- ery and Ethel Lowery, of this village. The flower girls were Ruth Krygar, of East Orange, X: J., and Abbie Book- er, of this place. The best man was W. Stanley Oliver, of Boston. The ushers were JR.

Johnstown has sold third baseman Sundheim to Jersey City. = ‘The Newark Club has purchased catcher Joe Crisp from the Kansas City Club. George Merritt, the Jersey City twitler, has played every position on the diamond. ‘The Baltimore Club has turned pitcher Maroney over to “Big Bill" Clarke's Albany Club. Providence bas purchased “Long John” Anderson trom the -Chicago American League Club. Abstein, who seems to be filling the bill at first for the Pirates, is the sixth first sacker that team has had {nas many years. Catcher Marshall fs making the cir cuit, He started with the Phillies, went to New York, then to Chicago, and is now with Brooklyn. ‘The New York Club has turned in- fielder George Simmons, the hard hit- ting Brooklyn boy, over to the Roch- ester Club, of the Eastern Leagae. Pitcher Mattern, of Boston, is a southpaw with a spit ball. Rarely do left-handers adopt the wet delivery, for they are generally wild enough without It. Pitcher McGinnity says the great strain of Christy Mathewson’s arm last year will tell this seagon, and the great pitcher will have to be worked very carefully. Oné put-out fs unusual for a first baseman‘in a nine-Inning game. This ig the record of first baseman Roba, of Atlanta, in a game against Bir- mingham the other day. Manager Al Orth has demonstrated his ability to play the outfield by put- ting up a strong game in the right garden. He also bids fair to lead the Virgina League in batting.
