National Holiday Not So Like a Battlefield. Notable Improvement Shown In the Day's Casualties Since the Movement for a "Sane" Observation, Though the Record Is Still a Frightful One. Chicago (Special). Although the list of deaths and accidents due to the celebration of the Fourth of July is appalling, the "sane" observance of the day this year shows a notable improvement in this respect, according to statistics compiled by the Journal of the American Medical Association which were made public here. The decrease in accidents is most marked in those sections where restrictive legislation has been put in effect, the journal says. The summary shows: "Two thousand nine hundred and twenty-three injured July 4th this year, of which 131 died. Sixty-seven deaths were due to tetanus; nineteen killed outright by fire arms; eleven by explosions of powder, bombs or torpedos, six by cannon or similar contrivances, while twenty-six, mostly little girls, were burned to death by fire from fire works. "Startling as is this showing, it is the best since 1903, when the Journal began keeping its record. In 1903, 4,449 persons were injured, of whom 466 lost their lives; 408 of them dying from tetanus. "The grand total for eight years shows that 37,528 persons have been injured in Independence Day celebration. Of these 1,602 died, 604 as the direct result of their injuries, and 968 from tetanus following injuries. One hundred and twenty-two persons have lost their eyesight; 551 have lost the use of one eye; 432 have lost the use of arms, legs or hands, and 1,541 have been crippled by the loss of fingers." "The decrease from 1903 to 1910 is due to more intelligent methods of celebration, the most marked decreases occurring in states where the agitation for restrictive measures was most urgent. Massachusetts had this year only one-seventh of the injured it had the previous year; Missouri, New Jersey and New York reduced their injuries to one-third; Illinois and Ohio to one-half; Pennsylvania reduced its injuries to two-thirds of last year; Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin show larger totals than a year go." MAN TURNING TO BONE. Supposed to Be After Effects of Hookworm. Richmond, Va. (Special).—S. M. L. Peaden, a farmer, aged 10, of Pitts-county, N. C., is threatened with ossification of the limbs and body at the Retreat for the Sick here. Peaden's condition is thought to be due to the hookworm disease, from which he suffered two years ago. He was pronounced cured after a year's treatment. Six months ago he noticed the hardening of the muscles of his feet, limbs and hands. Physicians diagnosed the case as rheumatism. The hardening continued so that he could not move about much. Dr. J. C. Walton, who is treating the patient with electricity, says that the disease was yielding somewhat to the treatment. REED STATUE UNVEILED. Heroic Shaft of Maine Granite Raised In Portland, Me. Portland, Me. (Special).—A bronze statue of the late Thomas Brackett Reed, for many years Speaker of the House of Representatives at Washington, was unveiled in his home city, on the western promenade overlooking Casco Bay. The statue is eight feet high and represents the former Speaker in an attitude of repose with a scroll in his left hand. The pedestal is of Maine granite, nine feet high. The statue is the work of Burr C. Miller, of New York and Paris, a son of Warner Miller, who was an intimate friend of Mr. Reed. The cost was about $35,000. HITS SECRET SOCIETIES Prof. Wells Condemns School and College Fraternities. Sagamore Beach, Miss (Special)—A defense of the American colleges and schools against the charge that the student bodies were irreligious and immoral and a vigorous condemnation of secret societies in high schools were the features of the session of the Sagamore Beach conference on moral and religious training of the young. Prof. Amos R. Wells, of Boston, editorial secretary of the United Society for Christian Endeavor, was the speaker who denounced secret societies in high schools. 7. ENGINEERS GET INCREASE. Ann Arbor Men Also Get Shorter Working Hours. Toledo, O. (Special).—Beginning today all engineers employed by the Ann Arbor Railroad, numbering about 115, will receive an increase in wages and a reduction of working hours. The new scale of wages, which is not given out, was decided upon at a conference at which the railroad was represented by Mr. Holliday and K. A. Goher, superintendent of the road at Macsoo, Mich., and J. B. Hurat, A. McMering and Frank Amos, who were presi- dents for the engineers. Given That Distinction By the Census Returns.

The aggregate population of the cities named is given as 4,931,532. The city of New York, as constituted prior to the act of consolidation effective January 1, 1898, had a population in 1890 of 1,515,301, as compared with 3,437,202 in 1900, showing an apparent increase of 1,921,901, or 126.8 per cent for the greater city. The population of Chicago in 1900 was 1,698,575; Philadelphia, 1,293,697; St. Louis, 575,238; Boston, 560,892; Baltimore, 508,937. These were the only six cities in the United States that had a population over 500,000. Paris Is Third. According to figures at the Census Bureau, the population of Greater London in 1901, at the official count, was 6,581,372. The estimated population for 1909 is 7,429,740. Paris in 1906, by an official count, had a population of 2,763,303. St. Petersburg in 1909, official count, 2,740,300. Berlin in 1905, official count, 2,040,148. Rome, 1901, official count, 1,196,909, and "an estimated population in 1909 of 1,323,699. Pekin, China, at one time supposed to be one of the largest capitals in the world, with a population of more than a million, according to records in the Census Bureau, now has a population estimated to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 700,000. BANDIT IS DESPERATE. Kills Man and Wounds Five Members of Posse. Cartersville, Ga. (Special)—After killing a man named Phillips at Beasley Gap, near this city, and wounding five pursuers, William Fowler, an aged white man of this county, escaped to the hills and is now at liberty heavily armed. Fowler is being pursued by a sheriff's pose and threats of lynching are being made. At the time Fowler killed Phillips he also shot and wounded James Byers and Sam Boston. A posse surrounded Fowler in a house near Beasley Gap and demanded his surrender. Fowler came out, firing as he advanced, and Capt. J. W. Plierce, Hardy Goode and Sam Kilby fell wounded, the latter being dangerously shot. Fowler then escaped to the hills. LAST CENT FOR POISON. Suicide Pawned Trousers to Buy Carbolic Acid. Philadelphia (Special)—After obtaining money with which to purchase poison by pawning his trousers, a man, supposed to be Thomas H. Goodrich, 46 years old, was found dead in a lodging house, clasping a bottle which had contained carbolic acid, in his hand. According to the police, the suicide was employed as a sweeper at the League Island Navy Yard. Among the papers found in his pockets was a membership card in a trolleymen's union of a Western city. Two pawn tickets, one for a coat and vest and the other for a pair of trousers, were also found. The pawn ticket for the trousers was issued by a pawnbroker, with an office a square from the drug store in which Goodrich bought the poison which ended his life. New Director of Mint Chicago (Special)—George E. Roberts, of Chicago, announced that he has sent to President Taft his acceptance of the post of direct of the Mint. He will go to Washington this week and his family will soon follow. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. OVER WATER FLIGHTS RECORD Curtiss Averages Speed of Forty Five Miles An Hour. Announced Time Consumed In the Passage One Hour and Eighteen Minutes—Forty Thousand People Cheer as He Soars and Sweeps Out Over Lake—Breeze and Rain Cause Him to Postpone His Return Flight. Cleveland (Special)—Glann H. Curtiss, of Hammondsport, N.Y., established a new record for over-water flights by traveling over Lake Erie from Euclid Beach, nina miles east of this city, to Cedar Point, Ohio, approximately 80 miles distant. The time of passage was 1 hour and 18 minutes. His average time was 45 miles an hour, although one stretch of 20 miles was covered at a rate of a mile a minute. Curtiss used the eight-cylinder 50-horsepower biplane of his own construction, in which he made his recent flights down the Hudson river from Albany to New York. It was shortly after 12 o'clock when the biplane was taken from the aerodrome. At 1.03 P. M., after it had been ascertained that the 12-mile breeze from the northeast prevailed in Cleveland and Cedar Point alike, the motor was started. At 1.08 P. M., with the cheers of 40,000 people who had gathered at the starting point ringing in his ears, the aviator swept out over the lake. After reaching a height of 200 feet the machine turned to the west. At 1.13 P. M. it had passed Cleveland harbor, where 100,000 persons had grouped themselves along the lake front and on top of buildings, and three minutes later had faded into the mist beyond Rocky river, the western extremity of the city's 18-mile water front. At 1.26 P. M., just 20 minutes after leaving Euclid Beach, the biplane was sighted off Dover Bay, 20 miles distant. At 1.46. it passed Lorneine, at 1.58 crossed directly over Vermilion and at 2.18 was sighted at Cedar Point. Five minutes later it glided onto the beach in front of the Breakers Hotel. A crowd of 10,000 persons gathered on the beach went wild when Curtiss landed. The throng rushed down on the aviator, lifted him from the machine and carried him on its shoulders to his hotel. Had the aviator been able to maintain the speed at which he started out he probably would have broken all speed records. West of Dover Bay, however, he encountered air currents that materially impeded his progress. HOPE FOR MILLION. Tuberculosis Societies to Unite In Selling Seals for Letters. 'New York (Special)—Arrangements for the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals for 1910 were announced in a bulletin just issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the American Red Cross. "A million for tuberculosis" will be the slogan of the 1910 campaign. Two features of the sale this year are unique and will bring considerable capital to the tuberculosis fighters. The American National Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in former years, but this organization will work in close co-operation with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which body will share in the proceeds of the sales. The charge to local associations for the use, of the national stamps has been reduced also from 20 per cent. to $12\frac{1}{2} per cent., which will mean at least $50,000 more for tuberculosis work in all parts of the United States. The stamps are to be designated as "Red Cross Seals" this year and are to be placed on the backs of letters. The National Conference of Tuberculosis Secretaries through its president, John A. Kingsbury, of New York, has issued a letter calling upon all State and local anti-tuberculosis associations to unite with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the Red Cross Society, in the sale of Christmas seals. It is expected that over 430 anti-tuberculosis associations and hundreds of Red Cross societies in every State of the Union will unite in the sale of Christmas seals. CUBAN EDITOR KILLED Shot By a Liberal, Who Resented Article About Society Woman. Hawana (Special).—Juan Amer, editor of the satirical weekly Character, of which the first issue appeared, was shot which the first issue just appeared, was and killed by Jose Pennino, a Liberal candidate for city councilman in Hawana.

The Men to Submit Their Troubles to Him. LITIGATION VIEWED WITH ANXIETY. When the Colonel Visits Pittsburgh on September 10 the Legal and Industrial Entanglement of the Miners and Operators In the Irwin-Westmoreland Fields Will Be Placed Before Him. Pittsburg (Special)—The legal and industrial entanglement of the miners and operators in the Irwin and Westmoreland fields will be submitted to Theodore Roosevelt when he visits this city on September 10. This was announced by District President Francis Feehan, of the United Mineworkers of America, after he had been arrested with five other local officers, in connection with the actions brought in the county courts against 87 miners and officials by seven operating companies in the affected districts. Feehan further said that when Rosevelt visited the anthracite field a month or more ago he was requested to investigate the trouble in the Westmoreland-Irwin field, and that now it was hoped he would be instrumental in restoring peace. Those arrested are under $3,100 bonds. Three hundred and thirty-five out of 400 workmen in the mines of the Westmoreland Coal Company, one of the plaintiffs, are reported to have left their work when they learned of the suits being brought. For several weeks this mine has been running at full capacity. The extent of the litigation is viewed with much anxiety in industrial circles here because of the persistence of both sides. In a statement Feehan asserted that the miners had been misrepresented in their attitude, while Attorney Richard B. Scandrett, counsel for the plaintiff companies, announced that, the actions were not to be construed as attacks upon the right of workingmen to organize, but "we charge that operators in the Pittsburg district have contributed support to the maintenance of the strike and paid to have organizers in the field that the strike might be prolonged." Other suits will be brought against certain operators, according to Scandrett, that will reveal a sensational plot. OPIUM INVADES ARMY. Enlisted Men at the Presidio Take to Using Drug. San Francisco (Special) - Opium, the insidious enemy of 'the armies of the world, has invaded the ranks of the United States troops stationed at the Presidio to such an extent that a strong campaign, in which are involved more than 2,550 men, has been launched in an effort to crush out what is declared to be the greatest danger confronting the enlisted men at the reservation. An appeal has been made to the civil authorities to aid in taking drastic steps. Last January company commanders began to make reports to post headquarters, and the general hospital daily received a stricken soldier. It is estimated that 40 per cent of the men at the Presidio are using the drug. DR. CRIPPEN COLLAPSES. Prisoner Removed to the Hospital Ward of the Jail. London (Special)—Dr. Hawley, H. Clipper, jointly accused with Ethel Clars, Le Neve the murder of his wife, has suffered a nervous collapse, and was removed to the hospital ward of Brixton jail. Solicitor Newton says that his client has given him an explanation of the farewell message found among the prisoner's effects by Inspector Dew, which will throw a different light on the matter when it is made public. The message was read in court at the arraignment of Clipper and Miss Le Neve and indicated that the writer contemplated suicide during his flight to Canada on the steamer Montrose. TORNADO KILLS TWO. Houses and Barns Lifted from Foundations and Wrecked. Heaton, N.-D. (Special)—H. O. Thorbinson and the infant child of Albert Alsson are dead as the result of the tornado which nearly wrecked this town. A. R. Hubert was seriously hurt and scores of éthers painfully injured. The property loss will exceed $100,000. Smith Center, Kan. (Special)—A tornado, accompanied by a terrific hailstorm, laid waste an area a mile wide and about 10 miles long north of here.

Robber's Attention Diverted, Stewart Hits Him In the Face With Rock. HIS COMRADES FIRE. Weak From Loss of Blood, He Runs Train Four Miles to Aid. Colorado Springs, Col. (Special)—The body of a train robber, slain by Engineer Frank Stewart, of Colorado, Midland passenger train No. 3, in an attempt to hold up the train, was taken to Leadville. Simultaneously posses were sent out from Florisrant and Divide to search the hills for two companions of the bandit, who fled when their mate was killed. Engineer Stewart, was shot in the leg and is in a serious condition from loss of blood. The bandits failed to get any booty. The attempted robber occurred four miles east of Divide at midnight. Evidently it was the intention to rob the express car, which carried a special consignment of several thousand dollars: The train was flagged by one of the bandits, who pointed to a huge boulder upon the track. Simultaneously a second robber climbed over the tender and leveled two guns at the engine crew. He ordered Stewart and the fireman, Paul Bachman, to stop the train and get down. They did so and the three bandits marched them back to the express car. Grapples With Robber. While two of the bandits started firing along the sides of the train to prevent interference, the third ordered Stewart to call upon the express messenger to open his car. As Stewart complied, Bakhman stooped as if to escape, drawing the bandit's attention. Stewart seized a rock and struck the bandit a stunning blow in the face. He then seized the robber's revolver and began beating him until he was certain of his death. Stewart is sure the man was killed by his first blow with the rock. At the same time the other two bandits fired at Stewart, wounding him in the leg. The passengers and the rest of the train crew were aroused and started a fusillade, accidentally wounding an unknown trump who was stealing a ride. Despite his wounds, Stewart was carried back to his cab and ran his train four miles, until he met train No. 4, on which he was brought to Colorado Springs. Although suffering intensely, Stewart was able to describe the holdup vividly. He said he believed the man he shot was a Swede and the other two probably also foreigners. All Wore Disguises. All three highwaymen, Stewart said, wore disguises, consisting of gunny sacks wound around the head and over the shoulders, so as to obscure the lower part of the face. He continued: My first intimation that something was wrong was when, from the back of my cab, I saw my fireman holding his hands up and the stranger bending over him from the tender, and two guns leveled at us. "Stop this train quick," he called to me, "or I'll blow your head off." "I drove forward a little, until the express car stood over a bridge, and the difficulty we had walking up the bank, with the time it took, I think had something to do with my saving my life. "The fact that my fireman crouched in a, stooping posture, as he had to, in getting to the car, gave the holdup his cue to shoot at him, and I had time to grab the rock which did the work. I believe the holdup was dead even before I struck him with one of his own guns, as the blow from the rock caught him on the head and he fell backward. STEAL 6.800 PENNIES. Boys Carry Them Away In Father's Bushcart. Hoboken, N. J. (Special)—The histrionic ambitions of George Abrams, 14 years old, led him to tempt 10-year-old Henry Bier, son of Morris Bier, a baker, to do a job of safe-breaking. These boys stole 6,800 Lincoln pennies and $17 in bills from the baker's safe, hauling their plunder away in Abrams' handcart manufactured, out of a soap box and two wheels. Their object was to pay the tuition of Abrams in a New York dramatic school. Henry obtained the key to the safe's inner compartment from his father's trousers. Then he and Abrams unlocked the safe and wealth lay before them. When Henry finally confessed 350 pennies were-found in his pocket. Both were held for court. $340 FOR ONE CENT. Highest Price Ever Paid for a Coin of That Denomination New York (Special)—Henry Chappan, a numismatist, paid $340 for a one-cent piece at an auction sale here. This price, according to dealers, is the largest ever paid for a penny. Two hundred and seventy-five dollars is the biggest previous price which could be remembered. The coin was struck in the year 1793. It is of the "Liberty cap" variety, and was formerly owned by Peter Monguey, the grocer-numismatist of Cincinnati. Death In 'MoTen MetaL Chicago. (Special)—Thomas Powers was burned to death and several others were seriously injured in the Illinois Elsan Company's mills, in South Chicago, when a plant lade of molten metal was overturned. The man was directly beneath the lade and the hot liquid mass showered down upon him. JACK JOHNSON Who can whip Jack Johnson, is still the uppermost topic in the pugilistic world, and also with large numbers of persons, who, in the sense of the term, are not fight fans. Now that most fight fans, and the others who follow the game slightly, have partially recovered from the result of the Fourth of July fight at Reno, New, where Johnson won his mill with Jeffries in such an easy manner, they are giving their attention to a likely opponent to the big colored fellow. Perhaps the most enthusiastic seeker of a new man who can try his chances with the colored heavyweight is James J. Corbett, ex-champion, and the man who did most to try to make Jeffries fit enough to whip Johnson. When Jeffries failed it is said that Corbett felt the defeat more keenly than any other American fight follower. Corbett, however, did not give up in disgust, but immediately announced his intention not to rest easily until he had discovered the pugilist that could turn the trick. In this connection the name of Frank Gotch, champlon heavyweight wrestler of the world, has been mentioned, but it is hardly probable that Gotch could be turned into a fighter of sufficient calibre to wrest the title from the Negro. One fighter who many believe canable to cope with Johnson, and possibly whip him, is Sam Langford, also colored. True, Johnson has already shown that he was Langford's master, but Langford has also improved, and many believe that he is Johnson's superior. Langford seems more anxious to meet Johnson than the champion is to meet Langford, and some say that this indicates that Johnson is afraid of his colored brother. Another strong candidate is Al Kaufman, who was Johnson's chief trainer for his recent fight with Jeffries. JOCKEY TO RETIRE WITH Danny Maher, American jockey who for the past ten years has been riding in England and standing at the head of winning riders at the close of each season, has written friends in this country of his, intention to retire at the close of his present season. Maher says he will never again ride on the flat, although he intimates that he may go in for cross-country riding following the example of Winnie O'Connor, who became a star at the jumping game after he became too heavy to ride on the flat. From a boothback stand in Hartford, Conn., to the possessor of a million dollars and the ownership of a fine estate in County Kildare, Ireland, near the birthplace of his parents, tells the story of Danny Maher's remarkable career. Maher is now about thirty-four years old, has saved his money, avoided trouble with the English racing stewards, the gentlemen who put Tod Sloan out of business, and is worth well over a million dollars. "Pa" Dally, who, has started more good jockeys on the high road to success and fame, started Maher. Danny left this country when he began having trouble making the weight required, and went to England, where the weights are higher. He was a star from the start, and despite his being an American, is popular and well liked. He says he will establish a breeding farm on his estate in Ireland. During the time he has been riding in England he has put over one thousand winners. BASEBALL NEWS AND NOTES. The Washington-Detroit series of July 13, 14, 15 and 16 was played in Detroit instead of Washington in order to secure the benefits of the national Elks' convention last week in Detroit. The St. Louis club is reported as having signed Catcher W. E. Encenroth, formerly of the Ann Arbor college team. The Wilmington pitcher, Bill Crouch, has been released owing to lack of experience. Pie is blamed for the final downfall of Elmer Filok, one of the greatest fielders the national game ever witnessed. Pie ruled his stomach and he is now among the "down-and-outs," seemingly for good. While Chesnati may not win a pennant this season, Clark Griffith, ought to have a "one-two" team next year. Some Pittsburgh critics declare that Hans Wagner is playing indifferently because he is tired of baseball and longs for retirement and the time for constant automobiling. Ford, one of the Highlanders' new pitchers, is one of those dingers who battars say has "nothing on the ball," but he gets away with his games just the same. "Bill" Powell, one of the touted phenoms among new pitchers in the National League, has gone the way of many other phenoms and is back among the minors.

Ex-President Addresses National Negro League—Tells Negroes Man of the North Does His Worst by Meddling in Affairs of the South. Colonel Roosevelts, former president of the United States, speaking in New York City before 1,100 delegates to the National Negro Business Men's League, who cheered him and pledged him the support of the Negro electorate for a possible third term, counseled his hearers to make the most of their opportunities. "The white man of the south," said Mr. Roosevelt, "is the vital man to have sympathy with the Negro. When your neighbor likes and respects you, you have won your battle. Interference Works Harm. "The white man of the north does his worst work in interfering between the two people of the south, and his best work when he improves their relation. "I would not glur over the injustice with which good colored men are treated, but I feel that the really substantial way of conquering injustice is to train your people so that the white man will recognize in his colored neighbor a desirable neighbor. Every down-at-the-heel, ram-shackle Negro cabin is not only bad for the people who live in it, but is a reflection on the race. Negro League Indored. "The man who lives a noe-do-well life of idleness is doing not only ill to himself, but to his people. I believe, in this league. As I wrote five years ago, when I was president, I Although the vast majority of brides and bridegrooms are quite content to have the nuptial knot tied in church, there are a few who prefer it fastened in an odd environment. To be "spiced" on a swinging trapeze would not be every one's choice, yet that was the scene selected on one occasion by two couples of circus performers. The contracting parties, gorgeously arrayed, climbed onto two aerial perches, one on each side of the ring, while the officiating magistrate stood on a pyramid in the center and conducted the service. In 1897 a wedding occurred in a still more curious and dangerous place—in a lion's cage at the Boston zoo. Something like 4,000 people witnessed the event, a Methodist clergyman conducting it. The reverend gentleman, however, stood outside the cage, and at the proper moment the bride and bridegroom followed the keeper into the cage, which contained two large lions, and the steel-barred door was closed behind them. The whole thing was over in 5 minutes, but it must have seemed years to the couple, considering that the lions walked around the cage starring at the unusual sight, and then laid down, roaring and yawning alternately. On another occasion a couple had the romantic idea of being married inside the head of the colossal figure of the Goddess of Liberty which stands in New York harbor. The head being a hollow chamber, the feat was made feasible and was duly carried out, after the bridal party had mounted the 3,000 feet of narrow stairs to reach their destination. Marriages have now and again taken places on horseback, one such being between an eloping couple some years back. While a service was in progress in a village church the noise of clattering hoofs was heard. An of- New York City.—An old-fashioned darkey, one of those proud to call himself "nigger," stood up in the second day's session of the Negro Business Men's League here and vowed that he "wouldn't change places with Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, big a man as he is." "Come out with us, you niggers," he told the New York Negroes, "where the air is free and God is good, and where, if there is any gumption in you, you can have more in a year than you ever carned in your life before. If you haven't a dollar I'll give you a farm and a chance. Come out to Arkansas." The speaker was introduced by Booker T. Washington as Scott Bond, of Madison, Ark. "How much are you worth?" asked an inquisitive delegate. Scott Bond grinned. "Well," he 1.

You also stimulate among your people principles of business enterprise. That is well. You recognize that you should build a firm foundation before you can erect your superstructure. "In Mombassa, we were shown much courtesy by an American colored man who was serving there as a doctor, I found a Jamaican Negro in charge. An abyss of nearly ten thousand years seemed to separate tese two men from the savages I had seen—yet the abyss was not more than two hundred years. In your advance there have been haltings and shortcomings—shortcomings on the part of the whites as well as on your part. Nevertheless there has been progress. Takes Times to Bring Reforms. "It takes some time to make a reformer think that an outlook is not of unaltered gloom. You sometimes see a reformer who thinks if he says a good word about anything he will be set down as a hopeless reactionary. "You colored men and women must set your faces like flint against those who would preach to you only the gospel of hate, envy and bitterness. Realize that the only way to help your race is not by preaching vindictiveness and hatred, but by leading your people up to prosperity through good citizenship." SH WEDDINGS. ficial going to the entrance found a man and woman mounted on palpitating anamals. After some persuasion, as the pair were armed with the necessary authority, the clergy-man promptly married them, the lovers not dismounting during the process. As soon at it was ended they put spurs to their horses and galloped away into the darkness. So far, it would seem, marriages have not been performed in motor cars or flying machines, although one may rest assured that they will soon be utilized for such purposes. Before now the clouds have witnessed wedding ceremonies. Some years ago a balloon was turned into a church and a happy though nervous couple made husband and wife therein. During the Chicago World's Fair, some years ago, the ferris wheel, of which the big wheel at Earl's Court was a near relative, was one of the chief attractions, and an enterprising couple elected to be married in it. Accordingly they were united 250 feet above the heads of the gaping and interested crowd. And, as there is no accounting for tastes, it is not surprising to learn that even the 'bowels of the earth have been chosen for a wedding. Such an event in a coal mine would be a matter-of-fact affair in comparison with a marriage in the Mammoth cave of Kentucky, whose wonders and creepiness have been pictured by many pens, until the reader has been made almost nervous by the descriptions. Nevertheless, this eerie cave was the scene of a knot tying. It was performed by the light of torches, which made the darkness of the cave, if anything, more intense, the spot selected being something like nine miles from the entrance to the cave, and only reached by crossing the Styx-like waters and crawling on the hands and knees. IMSELF 'NIGGER' INVY ROOSEVELT said, "down in Arkansas they tax us 50 cents on every $1,000. I pay a few dollars less than $2,000 a year." A little arithmetic shows that this tax represents a capital appraised at: nearly $4,000,000, consisting, Scott Bond said, of his own farm, nineteen farms rented to other Negroes, cotton gins, twenty general stores and live stock. "What do you raise?" asked a woman delegate. "On my place," was the reply, "I raise mules, corn, cotton, tobacco, boys, girls." Other speakers were Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Henry Villard, the daughter of William L. Garrison, and Garrison's grandson, Oswald Garrison Villard, a New York editor. Solidarity, thought Mr. Villard, was what the Negro most needed. er it is on your table or stored in other places in the house. 7. Burn pyrethrum powder in the house.

A little understanding clears friendship's eclipse, a little patience being taken for granted. "Are you going to set this murderer at liberty?" asked the local culef of police. "The great detective nodded. He had been placed in charge of the case, partly on account of his deserved reputation, partly because he had held office for years in India. "It's the only thing to do," he replied. "Of course, the man is guilty, but—there have been three deaths and we cannot fasten the 'gulit upon him.'" "Permit me to observe," said the servant, Surendra Lal, in excellent English, "that your words render you liable to pay me heavy damages in a libel suit." The detective heeded the man no more than if he had been a log of wood. Surendra Lal smiled and twirled his thumbs waiting for the word which should set him at liberty. "What can we do?" continued the Scotland Yard detective. "Consider the facts." "Old Colonel Llisle was prominent in suppressing the movement for independence in India. Five times he was, shot at—once wounded. He was retired in the fullness of years and returned to England, to the country estate, where he lived placidly with his two sons and his native servant—that fellow there—whom he had no occasion to suspect of murderous intent. Ultimately it was found that the man was a member of the Swadeshi party and an associate, of notorious Indian anarchists." Surendra Lal smiled softly and shifted his feet. "Colonel Lisle had brought back a number of native objects, and lived-in Indian style, with his sons, country gentlemen. One morning he was heard to scream. His sons rushed into his room. The colonel lay dead upon the floor, his hat still upon his head, his fingers grasping his cane, of teakwood, which had been presented to him on his departure by native sympathizers. Apoptosis was given as the cause of death. Within two months each of his sons died in the same manner, in each case dressed to go out, in each case grasping the cane. The post-mortem examinations disclosed the presence in their bodies of some powerful alkaloid. "Surendra Lal was arrested. Incriminating letters were found in his possession from the Swaddeshi leaders, ordering him to accomplish his job. What job? Murder, of course. But what jury would convict upon such evidence as that? So we judge it is best to ship him out of England under the allens act." He ceased speaking and turned to the Hindoo. "Go, dog," he cried savagely. "That word is also actionable," said the native softly, clapping his hat upon his head and going toward the door. "Halt!" cried the inspector in thunderous tones. "Take your cane with you." The man hesitated and turned deathly pale. His hand hovered over the cane, which lay upon a table. And suddenly the inspector pubbed something from his pockets and snapped it over the native wrist. He was too late. Surendra Lal's hand closed upon the handle of the cane; he raised himself up, smiled weakly, and fell in a heap upon the floor. The local police chief rushed forward to seize the implement from the dying man's hand. The great detective caught his hand in a grip of iron. He freed the dead man's wrist and pressed the steel of the handcuff upon the handle, at the same time drawing his revolver. The cane flew into two sections and from its hollowed interior something "Costs more than anything Iye ever seen."

"As you may, know," he explained afterward, "the hooded cobra is the most venomous of reptiles. Its piter is almost instantly fatal, while it is able to exist for months without food, or air. It was a scheme of devilish ingenuity. The snake was undoubtedly introduced by Burendra Lal, and struck its victim through a minute hole in the handle. In this way he succeeded in assassinating three men. I did not mean that he should perish in that manner, but wished to catch him off his guard. Unfortunately he was too quick for us, and he preferred death by his own instrument to perishing upon the gallows." FACTS UPON FACTS. FACTS UPON FACTS. All business enterprises that hope to do business successfully must have financial tributaries; and no matter where these tributaries may rise or what course they make take or how they may twist around, and spread over the land, and through the ground, they must all, by some well defined system, focus at one great center, and form one common basis of operation; and, therefore, establish a well fortified concern that will stand against the severest panic. The railroad companies operate many lines, and they pick up money going and they pick up money returning, but all money finds its way to one common treasure, and all hands are paid from that. The banking system of the country has a common center and does a business well nigh without fault. The states have a common treasure and all money belonging to it is dumped into it and sent out to all persons having claims against it. The Federal government has one great coffee and all money that belongs there must go there and it can, at any time, ascertain its financial standing from that source. That is its common base of operation and the salvation of the whole political structure rest on that financial center and everything keeps its even tenor; because the nation has centralized its funds and a rupture is the remotest thought in the mind of its constituents. Great manufacturing plants and business corporations centralize their funds as an indispensable adjunct to successful operation and to do otherwise a failure would be inevitable. Nature teaches lessons of the absolute necessity and of the incalculable advantage of centralization. The springs make branches, the creeks make the rivers and the rivers sweep on to the oceans and there they centralize, and in turn the ocean sends back, a mist to again supply the little streams, and water the land and make it give bread to the eater and seed to the sower. Who does not know that the sun is the center of the solar system, and that all light emanates from that one grand center? Centralization is one of the irrevocable laws that govern this vast universe. Why should not the church take notice and govern itself accordingly? If the church would centralize its funds and cut out all superfluous office holders and put the money paid them to better use, it would do the economical thing, and thereby throw a cloak of brighter aspect around the shoulders of the future, and drive back the frightful ghost of defeat that now approximates the institutions of the church.—B. A. Chambers' Cannon Ball, in the Star of Zion. Samuel B. 'Goff of Camden, N. J. has given $5,000. to Dickenson college, Carlisle, Pa. This money is given for the purpose of establishing what is to be known as "Goff Foundation for the Cause of Temperance." Annual prizes are to be awarded for the best essays on temperance, written by the students of the college. Chief Sullivan of Atchison, Kans. says there is undoubtedly less drunkenness—now than before the saloons were closed. He also says that a drunken man is so unusual that he is regarded as a crazy man was formerly regarded. Ex-Governor Folk says: "When an officer takes an oath to enforce the law he has no right to violate the oath and excuse the non-enforcement of certain laws simply because they are, or seem to be, unpopular.

FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG Swimming in Myrlads Near Surface They Are Snared and Speared by Filipinos. Friday morning Filipinos snaring eels and other fish in the Pasig near the old captain of the port building by the aid of fish snares caught the largest eel. ever seen on the water front. It was fully ten feet in length. Both banks of the Pasig and all the ships and lighters moored in the stream were thronged with hundreds of Filipinos with snares and spears trying to catch the fish that in myrlads were swimming near the surface of the stream. Natives when asked in regard to the phenomenon were almost unanimously in their statement to the effect that at this time of the year the bottom of the river gets hot and that the fish have to leave the depths of the stream and flash back and forth on or near the surface. Another theory that seemed to have a great many adherents was to the effect that at this time every year there was a change in the character of the water, this change acting on the fish as a stimulant. This theory was advanced by an old pilot who has witnessed the phenomenon for many years—Manila Times. "NO ERILLS" Just Sensible Food Cured Him. Sometimes a good, healthy commercial traveler suffers from poorly selected food and is lucky if he learns that Grape-Nuts food will put him right. A Cincinnati traveler says: "About a year ago my stomach got in a bad way. I had a headache most of the time and suffered misery. For several months I ran down until I lost about 70 pounds. In weight and finally had to give up a good position and go home. Any food that I might use seemed to nauseate me. "My wife, hardly knowing what to do, one day brought home a package of Grape-Nuts food and coaxed me to try it. I told her it was no use but finally to, humor her I tried a little, and they just struck my taste. It was the first food I had eaten in nearly a year that did not cause any suffering. "Well, to make a long story short, I began to improve and stuck to Grape-Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds in December to 194 pounds the following October. "My brain is clear, blood all right and appetite too much for any man's pocketbook. In fact, I am thoroughly made over, and owe it all to Grape-Nuts. I talk so much about what Grape-Nuts will do that some of the men on the road have nicknamed me 'Grape-Nuts,' but I stand today as healthy, rosy-cheeked man—pretty good example of what the right kind of food will do."

C. of Odd Fellows meet next weekin Baltimore. This meeting is expected to be a mem- orable one. The present adminis- tration will meet stubborn opposi- tion and will be questioned as to its financial transactions. It is alleged ini some quarters that about $3,000 must be accounted for, and not that, but the high handed manner by which loyal members of the Order have been treated by its di- rection. A determined effort will be made to down the entire admin- istrative force, and every good Odd Fellow should join in the movememt. If Temple, Asbury and other aspirants for positions would only come together, they will be able to oust theadministra- tive force. All hearty Odd Fel- lows should join and assist in placing the order 6n a high basis, so that loyal support and unstinted respect can be given. Tue Yonkers Standard very wisely says, that “We have a wholesome respect for men _of character and ability such as_Dr. Du Bois and others, who believe that radicalism is the best medi- cine for race grievances, All men are entitled to their opinions, cand fnone but fools fall out when they differ in points of view. .. ‘But where in history has any down-trodden race ever leaped ‘through its ages of suffering in ‘fifty years? Gentlemen are iin- Patient and forget that races do not move forward like individuals, Lamenting a few curses, they lose sight of many blessings. We are progressing, and the wrongs which we now suffer will not be everlasting. All the blood shed by the Union army could not wipe out race prejudice, “which is pri- marily a matter - of condition. What we gained just after the Civil War was lost because we had no foundation to hold the heauti- ful superstructure created by the war amendments. It was_neces- sary to begin all over again, and this time we have started right. We are building a foundation of intellect and wealth that will be able to support the improvements of the future. Dr. Du Bois is a splendid example of the intellec- tual Negro of today. If the race had possessed a few men of: his caliber forty years ago we might have held on to our representation in Congress and the various State Legislatures. We think his broad “education should be used to pic- ture the bright side of things in- stead of the gloomy side. He knows that history is full of ex- -amples that could well be used to give encouragement to his strug- linge people” Shall The Conviets Work Within The City Limits? During a recent joint meeting of city and county authorities, the ‘ question was raised as to whether the convicts can be worked within the city limits. The city side claims that it furnishes the bulk of the criminals and further that it is apart of the county despite the fact that itis a city. ‘Hence, it believes it ought to have the ser- vice of the convicts just the same ‘3s-any other component part of the county. The county authorities did not refuse to permit the use of the convicts on city work, but they denied the right of the city to the use of them. Itis probable tt a bill will be dnteodueed in oe legislature giving the city rightto the: labor” of the ' cdnyicts hope the city can get around hay- ing the convicts within jits limits for we are of the opinion tbat con- viets ought to be exposed to pub- lic view as little as possible. + While punishment is given tc make an example of the culprit, and to deter others from a repeti. tion of the offense; still punish- ment should be reformatory. We have grave doubts aboxt there be- ing any reformatory atmosphere on or about the Chatham county chaingang. In fact, in a large ma. jority of cases, the convict is _re- turned to the community void of self-respect, barren of morality, and hardened of heart. It is only a short time before he is again in the clutches of the law and must serve another sentence. Thereare many Negroes who are arrested and sent up many times during the year. The gangis bad enough for men of mature ages, men whose habits are formed; but when ‘it comes to boys of tender years who are susceptible to good influences, the gung ought not to be tolerat- ed. We believe thata reforma- tory school for boys, and 2 school for incorrigible girls would bea paying investment for the State. Those schools would in many cases turn boys and girls who are way- wardly inclined into useful men and good women, We should make’every effort possible to sur- round our boys and girls with wholesome influences, and thus cheat the gang of many. Too many are without educational in- fluences because there is a lack of room in the schools; others are witheut educational influences be- cause their parents labor under the impression that they, themselves managed to ‘get by” with little or no education, and their children ought to be able to do likewise. This opinién shared in common by so many of the parents is respon- sible fer so many children grow- ing up in ignorance and finally landing on the chaingang. We hope that the gang will not be svorked within the city limits because of the demoralizing effect it will have on the youngof the community as well as making the conyicts hardened by being under the public view.
