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 * An Idle Moment for Busy Folk. * Laugh and Grow Fat. * Motor Car Definition.

"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.

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."

It seems to be the policy of the administration to displace colored men who have held important positions. Those in Georgia have been displaced, and even the ones in minor positions are not resting easily. This is the season of the, year when the farmers and farm laborers handle much money. It behoves them to save a greater portion of their earnings and only purchase articles that are mostly needed. Investment in farm lands would be commendable. THE B. M. C. of Odd Fellows meet next week in Baltimore. This meeting is expected to be a memorable one. The present administration will meet stubborn opposition and will be questioned as to its financial transactions. It is alleged in 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 direction. A determined effort will be made to down the entire administrative force, and every good Odd Fellow should join in the movement. If Temple, Asbury and other aspirants for positions would only come together, they will be able to oust the administrative force. All hearty Odd Fellows should join and assist in placing the order on a high basis, so that loyal support and unstinted respect can be given. THE 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 medicine for race grievances. All men are entitled to their opinions, and none 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 impatient 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 primarily a matter of condition. What we gained just after the Civil War was lost because we had no foundation to hold the beautiful superstructure created by the war amendments. It was necessary 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 intellectual 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 picture the bright side of things instead of the gloomy side. He knows that history is full of examples that could well be used to give encouragement to his struggling people." 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 a part of the county despite the fact that it is a city. Hence, it believes it ought to have the service of the convicts just the same as 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. It is probable that a bill will be introduced in the legislature giving the city the right to the labor of the convicts under certain circumstances. We hope the city can get around having the convicts within its limits for we are of the opinion that convicts ought to be exposed to public view as little as possible. While punishment is given to make an example of the culprit, and to deter others from a repetition of the offense; still punishment should be reformatory. We have grave doubts about there being any reformatory atmosphere on or about the Chatham county chaingang. In fact, in a large majority of cases, the convict is returned 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. There are many Negroes who are arrested and sent up many times during the year. The gang is bad enough for men of mature age, men whose habits are formed; but when it comes to boys of tender years who are susceptible to good influences, the gang ought not to be tolerated. We believe that a reformatory school for boys, and a school for incorrigible girls would be a paying investment for the State. Those schools would in many cases turn boys and girls who are waywardly inclined into useful men and good women. We should make every effort possible to surround our boys and girls with wholesome influences, and thus cheat the gang of many. Too many are without educational influences because there is a lack of room in the schools; others are without educational influences because 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 opinion shared in common by so many of the parents is responsible for so many children growing up in ignorance and finally landing on the chaingang. We hope that the gang will not be worked within the city limits because of the demoralizing effect it will have on the young of the community as well as making the convicts hardened by being under the public view. Entertained at Brunswick Entertained at Brunswick A jolly party consisting of Mrs. J. R. Davis, Mrs. Gertie Barnard, Mrs. Katie Habersham, Mrs. Mamie Edwards, Miss Emmio Moore, Mr. E. M.

They were entertained in a royal manner by Mr. and Mrs. Will Floyd, and other friends who vied with each other in making their stay a pleasant one. The party returned the same day with an appreciative memory of their friends and the manner in which they were entertained. Minister's Meeting The Interdenominational Ministers Union held their regular monthly meeting at the First Congregational Church, Whitfield Square Tuesday Sept. 6 with Rev. R. H. Singleton D.

Singleton the vice president was raised to the office of president, Dr. D. W. Cannon was elected vice president. The day of the monthly meeting was changed from Tuesday after the first Sunday to Thursday after the first Sunday. A regular program was arranged for the installation of the officers which will take place at Beth Eden Baptist Church Wednesday evening Sept. 21 st. The Union gave its hearty endorsement to the rally set apart for the Charity Hospital on the fifth Sunday in October. Dr. L. A. Townsley offered a suggestion that all of the Churches and citizens make Thanksgiving day of each year, commencing 1911 the regular rally day for the Charity Hospital. The suggestion was indorsed and will be pushed. Sermonic discussion will engage the next meeting. St. Benedict's Church. East Broad and Gaston streets.

Meetings every Sunday evening com- mencing at .y o'clock. You are cordially invited to come and take a 'part' with us. St. Philip's Dots The large crowd that attended church at eleven o'clock on Sunday was well paid for coming out. Rev. Singleton preached an excellent sermon and he had a very attentive audience. The text was from Luke 17-17, subject, "The most popular sin in the world is the sin of gratitude." The speaker promised to show how ungrateful we are to God and man for many blessings and favors along various lines and a want of sense and favor.

"Negro Education and the Relation to the Problems of the South" was the subject of an address delivered by the Rev. R. D. Stinson, vice president of Morris Brown college, a Negro institution at Atlanta. The address in Warren chapel, A. M. Echurch, Chattanooga, Tenn., was heard by a large gathering of Negroes. The Negro educator salaries part. One of the questions before the American people is its colored constituency and how, if at all, the Negro should be trained, and is it worth while? Will he, in spirit, character and economic efficiency, measure up and stick for a citizen in the broadest sense of the term? This very question deserves serious consideration and the Negro can do more to properly impress the people of the country, as an individual, or as a race, than anybody else. As little as may be thought, it is a serious problem. On this wise, if he is taken into the sympathy, business and economic life of the communities in which the lives, when he is put on his feet, will he become salish, sour and ungrateful. Will he attempt to retaliate and become a croaker? It is not sufficient that he will judge the future by the past, for he has been the product of slavery, and that institution is intent forth pupils of that time and character. Besides, the Negro has been ignorant and even when he had books knowledge as how, he has been a theorist rather than a aober, tactful, common sense dispenser of the things which he had acquired through books. That there is a large class of Negroes in this country that are honest and that would do the right and that have added much to themselves and the communities where they lived goes without question. As to what would be the attitude of the Negro of this country and his white neighbor largely depends upon the teaching he will receive in the school house, church and in the home and from the Negro press. "Ninety per cent of the Negro people of the south should, be trained with an eye single to developing a common-sense character, the value of honest, hard work, the benefit of paying taxes on something in his own right. No one should know this fact more definitely and more determinedly than the Negro preacher, teacher, and all of that class that pose as the leaders and hope to see him do well. No member of the race is fit-to-lead so infant and youthful a race who himself has not the best basis for a character, and is an upright, and good common-sense citizen. The southern people pw it to the millions of colored people who are now living in the south to aid them in making choice of the purest, the most intelligent, as well as the most upright and sober of their people for leaders. The schools of our people have everything to do with whether they will be good or bad. Whether they will cherish a sweetness of disposition to their neighbors where they live. "We have had but few years of preparation, and many of those years were but imitation, and had we abundant opportunity we could have done but comparatively little, owing to poverty and 250 years of inability, in which we were not able to read or write or think for ourselves. We are just now to the place where we can begin to seriously take under advisement what it costs and the time that has been required to lay the foundation for a child race. The controlling, self-respecting, educated southerns white man owes it to himself, and to An appeal to erect a monument to the former slaves of the south was issued in New Orleans a few days ago from the headquarters of the United Confederate veterans by Gen. George W. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the veterans. The appeal is in the form of a general order, which quotes the resolutions favoring such a monument adopted at the Birmingham reunion in 1908, and adds: "Only those familiar with the beautiful patriarchal life of the southern plantations provinces to 1865 know of the devotions of the slaves to their owners and the children of the family. They were raised more like members of a large household." "This children of the owners and the slaves, associated most infinitely together, and enjoyed alike the pleasure of the home, all receiving the care and attention of the heads of the family, who had a feeling of tender affections for these departments." The devotion of these slaves idust.

I am glad to say to you here, now, that there are those in every community in this southland who want to see the Negro make the most of himself and of his opportunities, and whenever we show the right spirit, having comprehended the conditions, roundabout us, no good thing that is essential to our highest and best welfare will be withheld from us. "The Negro must watch his leaders who are not upright, who are not only ignorant, but who are political in their methods. They are only required to lead when the best interests of the two races are held up, to ridicule, discourage and scorn. There are those among us who are constantly urging couragements and picking out the irregularities and pointing with suspicion when white people and Negroes of the south seek to create friendly relations. The Negro in the southern states, if facts and figures are to be recognized, has made far greater progress, than his brother across the Ohio line, and the Negro's future in the south is most promising, if his leaders and the school house can come into possession of the real facts. Think of it! Yesterday we did not own a foot of land in Georgia, today, we pay taxes on millions, and we have learned how not to give in the full value of our property, like other people. It was but yesterday that we could not read and write; today 55 per cent of our illiteracy has been removed. If the Negro, is, to be developed and become a substantial people, he must look less, with suspicion upon his white neighbor, who has been struggling with life and death for forty years to make this southland what it is. "If our people are to be safely directed in the next few years to come, it must be done by white and colored men who understand him fully as to character, capacity and ability to do what he is the most capable of doing. Theorists, politicians and mercenary persons can do little or no good in directing our people in the south. "We have already had too much trouble caused by a foolish and theoretical leadership. It is to the Negro's own interest now to know who these are who attempt to lead into ways that they do not understand—Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times. Frankness. The small boy who falls to betray the family falls short of accomplishing his mission in the world. He usually does if innocently enough, but he does if none the less certainly. An incident in point comes from Philadelphia. It is related that a minister who had been engaged to temporarily fill a pulpit in one of the suburbs of that city came upon a small boy who was digging energetically in a bank at the roadside. The minister thought that the boy was digging worms for a fishing expedition and asked him whether or not that was the cause of his Sunday industry. "No, the boy replied, "that ain't it. I'm digging for a woodchuck." This appeared to the minister to be just as wicked as digging for worms and he proceeded to give the boy a lecture. "Don't you know," he concluded, "that it is wrong to do that on Sunday? You'll never get your woodchuck." The boy looked up as if badly frightened. "Won't get him!" he exclaimed. "Why, sir, I've got to get him! The new minister's comin' to our house for dinner today and we ain't got no meat." ing war time in caring for the plantations, in sharing dangers at the front, and nursing the wounded is noted, and the order concludes with an appeal to the U.

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. What has become of the old-fashioned boy who played a Jew's harp? Men may begin the marrying talk, but it is the women who keep it up. A man never shows much fondness for his kin, until he gets an office, and needs deputies. The only thing most people acquire is old age. We have observed that 'a husband is less careful than a lover in concealing the fact that he chews tobacco. Nothing makes an old widower quite so mad as an intimation that some designing woman will troop him in. Agrirl who is truthful about everything else will fib about the number of her admirers. Sympathize with any woman because of her hard work, in raising a family, and her husband will look injured. Doesn't he Pay the Bills?

Large Delegation of Missouri Knights Excites Admiration of Onlookers When Grand Parade Is Given. Detroit, the beautiful metropolis of the state of Michigan, extended a decidedly cordial greeting to the International Conference of Knights, Temular, which convened in her midst August 22 and remained in session until the evening of the 28th. Eureka Commandery, the local body of the order, was a host par excellence, and its members seemed severally and collectively to have cleared their minds for the time being of every thought save those pertaining to making enjoyable to their visitors the period of their stay in the city. Their success in the effort was undoubted. Monday was devoted to preliminary committee meetings, and in the evening there were several social gatherings. At 9 a. m. Tuesday the Grand Council met at the residence of Sir William ROBERTO MAYORAL Johnson and was escorted to Bethel A. M. E. Church, where a public meeting was held. Addresses of welcome to which appropriate responses were made, were uttered by Hon. Philip Breitmeyer, mayor of the city, Sir John J. Evans, grand commander of the jurisdiction of Michigan, and Sir William C. Swan, commander of Eureka Commandery. The address of the president, Sir J. Frank Richards, P. G. C., was a principal feature of the session. An exemplification of the work of the Red Cross was given during the afternoon, and the evening of the Order of the Temple and Order of Malta. Wednesday and Thursday were given over to the presentation of papers on many important subjects connected with the work of the great order. Thursday afternoon there was a grand parade of Templars to Bennett park, where a $300 prize. drill was held. In the evening there was a grand promenade ball and banquet at Light Infantry armory.

And set it here in the city's talk and trade To the good memory of Robert Shaw, This bright March morn I stand And hear the distant spring come up the land; Knowing that what I hear is not unheard Of this boy soldier and his Negro band. For all their gaze is fixed so stern ahead, For all the fatal rhythm of their tread. The lane they died to save from death and shame Trembles and waits, hearing the spring's great name, And by her pangs these resolute ghosts are stirred. Alas! what sounds are these that come Sullenly over the Pacific seas,— Sounds of ignoble battle, striking dumb The season's half-awakened ocestacles?

NEVERS FOR BOYS. Never be unkind to your father and mother. Never treat other boys' sisters better than you do your own. Never lie. What is your opinion of a liar? Do you wish other people to have a like opinion of yourself? Never tell nor listen to the telling of filthy stories. Cleanliness in word and act is the sign manual of a true gentleman. Never make comrades of boys who are continually doing and saying evil things. A boy, as well as a man, is known by the company he keeps. Never call anybody bad names, no matter what anybody calls you. You cannot throw mud and keep your own hands clean. Never fancy you know more when fifteen years old than your father and mother have learned in all the years of their lives. Wisdom is not given to babies. Never lay aside your manners when you take off your fine clothes. Never make fun of a companion because of a misfortune he could not help. Never hesitate to say no when asked to do a wrong thing. It will often require courage—the best kind of courage, moral courage; but say, no so distinctly that no one can possibly understand you to mean yes. Never quarrel. When your tongue gets unruly, lock it. In—it need be bite it. Never suffer it to advertise your bad temper. Never cheat nor be unfair in your play. Cheating is contemptible anywhere at any age. Your play should strengthen and not weaken your character. AVERY & CO. 81-83 South, Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga. MACHINERY Reliable Frick Engines, Boilers, all Sizes, Wheat, Separators.

Baroness Aletta Korrff tells in one of the magazines how the women of Finland came to vote. The fact is that women had to show that they could meet an emergency before the vote came to them. They have not had many opportunities to take the initiative in the world's history and they have not always responded when the opportunity came, but when a crisis, such as that in 1904, when the strike and the revolutionary outbreak in Russia took place at the same time, occurred, they proved they could make peace by doing it. Not until England and the United States find the women helping them to bear some great trouble will they give them the right to vote. Mrs. Simmonds glanced at the scare headline: "Bank Robbed!

MONEY FOR LIBERIA. South Carolina Has Formed a Colored Fair Association The Negro farm school, which has been conducted at Clark university, in Atlanta, closed after a most satisfactory session. There were 120 farmers who registered, and they represent forty counties in the state. One hundred of these farmers own the land they cultivate and are highly respected by both white and colored in their community. This has been the most successful institute that school has yet held, and the faculty feels that much good has been done by this one week's work. One improvement over last year was the half day given the Negro women the community. They showed by demonstration, or cooking, making jellies and canning fruit and making use of waste things about the farms, now the farmer may help himself and rid himself of all of the credit. A Tuskegee woman showed how she had taken a few chickens and three cows, in seven months of this year, and realized $123 for milk, $78 for eggs, $82 for chickens, aid has on hand now over 100 fryers worth 75 cents each and 120 young bears worth over $1 each. One of the most heated discussions of the session was upon the subject of How Best to Control Farm Labor Working Shares, Stand Rent and Working for Wages." The discussion was opened by S. S. Dawson, a Negro farmer of Washington county, owning about 400 acres of farm land and working quite a number of Negro tenants and laborers. Dawson said that the one-year system of renting land was bad for both the land owner and the tenants, and that we could never raise the standard of farming as high it should be so long as this system was followed. In the first place, it fosters a worthless class of farm laborers who are uncertain and unreliable, and, secondly, they care absolutely nothing for the land or the $1,500,000 WILL BE RAISED AS A LOAN TO THE NEGRO REPUBLIC. Word comes from abroad that negotiations are under way toward the rotation of a loan of $1,500,000 in the interest of Liberia, which, him will put the little African republic on a sound financial footing/ Dr. Roland P. Falkner, recently appointed financial agent for Liberia at the suggestion of the State, Department at Washington, is in London, and reports that prospects are bright relative to the formation of an international banking syndicate to raise the necessary money. The international syndicate will be headed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the New York bankers, and various European banking institutions will join the syndicate, which take up the loan at 5 per cent. According to present plans the loan will be secured by the appointment by the United States government officials, who will be responsible for the collection of customs, duties and taxes generally in Liberia. Dr. Falkner has given out the following statement: In 1908 Liberia sent three Liberians to America, who practically asked the United States to assume a protectorate over the country. Mr. Root, then Secretary of State, declined to grant The Colored Fair association of Alken, S. C., and the adjoining counties has been commissioned to organize with a capital stock of $2,000. F. A. Peters of Graniteville, Alex Williams of Alken, and R. B. Mabrey of Langley, representative Negro citizens, are the petitioners. EFFORT TO GET NEGRO CHILDREN INTO SCHOOL The Negro business league of Bristol, Tenn., is inaugurating a campaign whereby it is hoped it will be able to get all the Negro boys and girls of Bristol into the public schools. A vigorous campaign of education is to be carried out. Robert E. Clay, a widely known Negro orator and race leader, is at the head of the movement, and prominent white men are assisting him. Atlanta Negroes to Hear Roosevelt. Rev. Henry H. Procter of the First Congregational church called on Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in New York city, and obtained from him a promise to speak at a meeting of Negroes on October 8, when the colonial visits Atlanta.

"We should adopt a five-year of ten-year system of leasing, and then seek to teach and encourage tenants not to be an eye-servant, but work whether his employer is 'around or not.' It was the first time in the history of Georgia that a bunch of Negro farmers have been instructed as to the kind and care of farm teams and tools. Professor Hile of the Agricultural College of Athens said the scooter and the 600-pound mule or horse must go and the farmers had just as well make up your minds to it. Conditions demand deeper plowing, which would mean larger teams and different plows. Two addresses were made by Professor Carven, director of the agricultural instruction and experimental station, Tuskegee, Ala. The first subject dealt with the improvement of cotton by the proper selection of seed; by cross-breeding, and by the proper preparation and fertilization of the land. The importance of good cooking was given much prominence. It was very clearly shown that with every crop removed from the farm a certain amount of fertility was removed that would forever remain out, unless returned in the form of animal, mineral or vegetable matter. The three principal fertilizers were discussed, viz.: nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid. It was shown that their chief offices were as follows: Nitrogen makes the leaves, stems and roots of the plant. Potash assists in making of sugars, starches, fats, gums, resins, oils and other carbonaceous substances, while phosphate deals mainly with the development of the seed. The farmers closed the session of 1910 by passing resolutions endorsing the work which Professor Parks is doing at Clark university. the appeal, as being entirely contrary to the constitution. The envoys pleaded to be helped in some way, and one of the last acts of Mr. Roosevelt as President was a recommendation to send out a commission to study the conditions. I went as chairman, the government's view being to see what could be done to help the Liberians to get on their feet. We found that the amount of Liberia's indebtedness 'was about $1,400,000, of which a little less than $1,000,000 was held abroad in regular bonds, while the rest was in miscellaneous obligations due locally. The latter is the heavier millstone. The government cannot collect customs duties or taxes in cash, as the citizens of the Republic set off against their own obligations the loans they have made to the government and the interest due on them. As a result of our report the State Department at Washington interested itself in Liberia and has been in negotiation with banking firms for the purpose of obtaining a loan sufficient to pay off all existing debts, foreign and domestic, and to place them on a secure basis. The result was that, at the suggestion of Washington, I was appointed the financial representative of Liberia. The negotiations are now proceeding.

The Negro in North Carolina has gained upward of 90 per cent in property holdings in the last ten years, and that the race has more schools and colleges in this state than any state in the union were among the many encouraging facts brought out in the address of John C.

"The physical period produced Hercules, Sampson and other mighty giants of the kind that made the world tremble. Jack-Johnson belongs to this age, and is 40 centuries behind his age. "The saddest commentary on Negro intelligence is the effort to lift Jack Johnson to a position on the aldermanic of the city of Chicago, where brain will be required in the discharge of this high office, and his stock in trade is brute force." Mr. C. C. Spalding of Durham made an able address that was a topic for discussion by the many delegates present from various sections of the state. LOW PRICES. LIBERAL TERMS The address of Dr. Chas.

If not, you owe it to yourself and to your family to go out and inspect the beautiful residential Park. Already such people as the Rev. Daniel Wright, the Rev. W. M. Gray, Dr. J. Walter Williams and many of the leaders among Savannah's colored citizenship have purchased lots at Woodlawn. Never before in the history of Savannah has such a proposition been offered to the colored people. Woodlawn is a home park. It is a place to live and raise your family. Why pay rent in a miserable house on a two by four lot in the hot and dusty city, when for less money you can live in your own home on a beautiful lot, ten times the size of a Savannah lot and raise your vegetables and chickens? It is not a question of whether you can afford to buy a Woodlawn lot—it is simply a question of whether you can afford to let such an opportunity get away from you. You can secure free car tickets from Geo. W. Jacobs and Chas. McDowell. Take Isle of Hope car and get off at Woodlawn, just beyond Sandfly. CHILDREN'S SAYINGS. Little Johnny witnessed a military drill. One of the officers rode a horse which was very unruly, and in some of his antics nearly threw his rider, whereupon Little Johnny exclaimed excitedly: "Mamma, mamma, Mr. Fissel's horse don't fit him!" Marion visited her auntie, who made some molasses candy for her in a spider, a name given by New England people to an iron frying pan. She went home and told her mother: "Auntie made me some candy in a bug." Seeing her mothers perplexity, she soon corrected herself: "In a spider, then." A little boy came to this sentence in his reading lesson: "There is a worm; do not tread on him." He read it thus, to his teacher's great surprise: "There is a warm doughnut; tread on him." Mamle was commanded—"Sit down, and he still, for the present." She obeyed with expectant air. After awhile she said: "I've been still a good while, where is the present?" "Can you give me an example of a toothless animal of the mammalian group?" asked the teacher of a small boy in the class of zoology. "Yes, sir," said the boy, very promptly. "Indeed! What is it?" "My grandma!" "You have broken the Sabbath, Johnny," said a good man, and his little girl interrupted reproachfully, "Yes, and mother's long comb, too." A little boy, four and a half years old, was taken to the shoemaker's shop to get his boots, half-soled. He watched the shoemaker very closely while he was fitting the last, and, finally said: "I am afraid it will be hard, to find one the right age for my boots." "Oh, what a charming plant!" explained a visitor, and his hostess replied, "Yes, it belongs to the begonia family." "Why am I," said the young set daughter, "it belongs to the Brown family, and they lent it to us for the avenue." Ti SReE een Se sale == pe eS a ee = oF =e
