VOLUME XXVII. DARING AVIATOR HURLED TO DEATH Ely Unable to Regain Control of Machine. BIPLANE CRASHES TO EARTH Machine Falls To Rise Again After Making a Sensational Dip—Ely Tries To Jump Out As He Descends With Aeroplane. Macon, Ga.—Eugene Ely, aviator, was fatally injured at the State Fair Grounds here when his machine failed to rise from a sensational dip and plunged with him 50 feet to the ground. He fell in the presence of nearly 8,000 persons to the middle of the enclosure of the racetrack, after almost clearing the machine by a desperate leap when he realized his peril. He died a few minutes later, regaining consciousness just before the end long enough to mutter: "I lost control; I know I am going to die." Ely made a flight in the morning, ascending to an altitude of 3,100 feet. At 2.45 o'clock he began his second flight from the track enclosure, which he circled in a few minutes traveling about 20 miles an hour. As he was completing the circuit he made a dip. The machine shot down with tremendous velocity and the crowd applauded, thinking the aviator would rise, as he had done many times before. But Ely seemed to lose his grip, for the machine continued its downward plunge and he attempted to rise from his seat. In fact, he released the lever altogether and half jumped, barely clearing the aeroplane as it crashed to the ground. The machine was demolished and Ely struck with terrific force. Ely left his wife in New York two weeks ago to come to Macon to make flights for the Georgia State Fair. He had been giving spectacular exhibitions here for eight days, going up on one occasion in a rainstorm. He even offered to make a flight by night, painting his craft with phosphorus. The offer was declined. A grewsome feature of the tragedy was the fight by the spectators to secure souvenirs. The policemen were swept away by the crowd and a few minutes the littered field was cleared of every bit of the wreckage. Ely's collar, tie, gloves and cap disappeared. Ely had a premonition of disaster before he ascended. He told his assistants he felt that something would happen and asked them to notify Mrs. Ely in New York. 12 DAYS MORE FOR TAFT. President Extends His Itinerary To November 12. Billings, Mont.-The itinerary of President Taft's "supplemental tour" was completed here and the date of his return to Washington was fixed for November 12. The original-trip will end at Pittsburgh October 31. The itinerary of the continued trip is as follows: November 1—University of West Virginia, at Morgantown. November 2-6—Hot Springs, Va. November 7—Cincinnati, to vote. November 8—Louisville, Ky. November 9—Frankfort, Ky. November 10—Abraham Lincoln Memorial at Hodgville, Ky. November 11—Nashville and Chattanooga, Tenn. November 12—Washington. It is probable that smaller cities and villages will be added to this itinerary if the railroad facilities will permit. Lived in a Hovel, but Bequeathe Riches To Sister. San. Francisco—Michael Sullivan, who had begged on the streets of San Francisco for 35 years, was found dead in his hovel here. Bank books found in a mattress showed deposits of more than $50,000. Sullivan's death was apparently due to natural causes. He left a will in which he bequeathed $50,000 to his sister, Mary A. Sullivan, of Utica, N. Y. First To Fly From a Warship—Scouted For the Army. New York—Eugene Ely was one of the best known of the American aviators. His reputation was international as an expert, conservative and experienced pilot. He has probably done as much as any other American aviator in furthering military experiments with the aircraft, particularly in connection with the United States Navy.

CASH FOR HEROES' WIDOWS Bronze and Silver Medals For Those Who Risked Their Lives To Save Others—Wildows and Orphans Pittsburgh, Pa.—Forty-soven bronze and twelve silver medals were awarded by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission at its fall meeting here, as a recognition of herolism in saving human life or in attempts in which the life of the hero was jeopardized. In addition to the medals, cash awards were made for reimbursing loss, for relieving debt on homes and the purchase of homes, for educational and other worthy purposes, amounting to $53,036. Pensions to survivors amounting to $315 monthly were also issued, with awards of $5 a month to children, amounting to $50 monthly. Of the rescues one of the most novel was the saving of a man from a wild animal. Thirty were saved from drowning, 5 from fire, 2 from runaway teams, 3 from trains, 16 from suffocation in mine, sewer or well and 1 each from an impending fall and machinery. Thirteen of the heroes lost their lives. Pension for Heroes' Widows. Among the awards are: M. Woodhall Blanchard, deceased, silver medal to widow and pension of $50 a month.

CHINESE AND GERMANS FIGHT Marines Are Landed to Put Down Mob. IMPERIAL FORCES ASSEMBLE Proposed Joint Naval and Military Chinese Bombardment Of Wu Chwang — The Japanese Issue a Denial. Berlin—German marines were landed Tuesday at Hankow from a cruiser and two gunboats. After sharp fighting they suppressed a mob of natives that threatened the German concession. Members of the German colony supported the marines. Five additional foreign warships have arrived at Hankow, Vice-Admiral Sir Alfred L. Winslow, commander of the British Eastern fleet, arrived there. The Germans co-operated at Hankow in the international corps movement, commanded by the Japanese naval captain. Die Post, commenting on developments at Hankow, attacks the United States on the ground that that country is trying to play too big a role in the situation. Other powers, the paper says, have more important military forces and commercial interests in China and should take the lead in protective measures. The Foreign Office received this dispatch from the German commander at Hankow: "Hankow quiet. Admiral San and 40,000 regular troops arrived. Fighting expected near German Colony. German steamer with non-combatants has left." COURT FORBIDS COERCION. Southern Grocers' Association Must Not Enter Price Conspiracy. Montgomery, Ala.—In a "consent decree," handed down by the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Alabama, the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association, prosecuted under the Sherman law, is forbidden from coercing manufacturers to sell only to association members or those whom it recognizes as wholesalers. It is also prescribed against conspiracy to maintain or to coerce manufacturers to fix limited selling prices. Farmer Kulp Is Dead. Shamokin, Pa.-Monroe -H. Kulp, familiarly known as "Farmér" Kulp, who served in the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Congresses, died here. He was one of the Republican leaders of the state at one time and a stanch follower of the late Senator Quay. Kulp was 53 years old. Vice-President Of Mexico Washington.-Pino Suarez, candidate for vice-president of Mexico on the ticket with Francisco Madero, Jr., has been elected by a substantial majority, according to formal announcement telegraphed to the State Department by Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City. Salem Relects Commislion Salem, N. J.—Salem decided against the commission form of government in Tuesday's election by a majority of 51. The vote was light, only 26 more than the number who had signed the petition voting in its favor.. Edison To Get Nobel Prize. Stockholm, Sweden.—N is said that the Nobel prize for physics probably will be awarded this year to Thomas A. Edison. INCITE ARABS TO START HOLY WAR INCITE ARABS TO START HOLY WAR Turks Seeking,Their Aid Against Italians. FORTIFYING CITY OF TRIPOLI Making City Of Tripoll An impregnable Base From Which To Conduct the Campaign In the Interior Region. Rome.—Reports received by the government from General Caneva, commander of the Italian army expedition in Tripoll, show that his attention has been directed chiefly to making the city of Tripoll an impregnable base from which will be provided the reinforcements and supplies necessary for the campaign in the interior. Fortifications are being extended all about the city, and posts will be established along that line of advance into the country to make it impossible for the enemy to cut off the invading columns. News from the interior reaching the Italian commander through friendly natives describes the Turks as making an active campaign among the Arabs to incite them against the Italians. The Arabs are told that when Tripoll was taken there was a general massacre and those who were spared suffered something worse than death. It is the intention of the Italians, the Turks said, to apply the sword and torch to the whole country. Thus, it is said, it is sought to start a holy war against the invaders. Although the evidence that the Turks intend to surrender is not sufficient to convince the Italian government, the Italians in Tripoll seem to become daily more settled in their conviction that the condition of the enemy is desperate. ROOSEVELT IN A NEW ROLE. The Colonel Wants To Maintain An Eloquent Silence. Richmond, Va.—The part which former President Roosevelt will take in the coming national campaign probably will be one of silence. This became publicly known here through a letter which he wrote to Congressman J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania, president of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association, declining an invitation to address the convention. Colonel Roosevelt emphatically declared: "From now on I wish to avoid making any speech that I possibly can avoid." Concluding his letter Mr. Roosevelt said: "I cannot undertake anything further of any kind or sort now." Those portions of the Colonel's letter were interpreted to mean that he wished to refrain from giving utterance to any opinions which possibly might be misconstrued in connection with the presidential campaign. WOMEN TEACHERS WIN. New York To Put Them On Same Salary Basis As Men. New York.—After several years of effort the women teachers in the public schools of New York have induced the city to put them on the same salary basis with men. In signing a bill to this effect, recently passed by the legislature, Mayor Gaynor said that instead of lessening the number of men teachers the law would cause an increase, because it would remove the economic reason of appointing women teachers because they were paid less. The change will increase the city's annual expense budget $3,500,000. ONEIDA'S PRESIDENT SLAIN. Manchester, Ky.—Rev. A. J. Burns, president of the Onelida Baptist College at Onelida, was shot from ambush. He died a few minutes later. Perry Burns, said to be a kinsman of the minister, is under arrest. Bloodhounds put on the scent at the scene of the crime led to Perry Burns' home Lynched Without Blow. Manchester, Ga. Without firing a short or exchanging a blow a mob of 30 men quietly lynched Jerry Lovelace, a negro brakeman, charged with having assaulted Yardmaster Kernan. Half a dozen masked men overpowered Marshal Collier and took the jail keys from him. They led their victim to Ferndale Park and hanged him to a tree within 10 feet of the sidewalk. Postmaster Ends His Life. Zaneville, O.—Henriella, Dugan, postmaster at South Zaneville for 20 years, and short in his sentence of 60 committed guilty by a shooter safe. PLATFORM HUMOR Unexpected Diversions That Were Not on the Bills. BILL NYE'S TACTFUL QUERY IT SAVED AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION AND TURNED A PAINFUL SILENCE INTO A BURST OF LAUGHTER—A SIMPLE NOTICE THAT MADE AN AUDIENCE ROAR. The funniest humor is the unintentional kind. The best comedy is that which has never been rehearsed or premeditated, but springs to life in close straits when everything of success for the platform performer depends on his holding the spot light of his audience's attention through a crucial strain caused by unexpected diversion. Some of the involuntary humor of the platform is worth remembering and repeating. For instance: Once upon a time a lecturer reached his date at 7:30. He had to get his supper, shave and dress between then and the usual scheduled starting time, 8:15. Accordingly he dressed with more haste than he had intended, and two top buttons of his trousers failed to receive proper attention. This showed plainly in the glare of the footlights, and a bit of his dress shirt protruded noticeably. The audience had a hard time being courteous and recoiling the ridiculousness of the speaker's appearance with the serious dignity and beauty of his lecture. Still, all would have been well but for the fact that at the close of the address and while the speaker still sat on the platform in his unconsciona dishabillie the platform manager rose and announced impressively: "The next number on this splendid course will be given two weeks from tonight by Dr. Robert McIntyre, who will deliver his celebrated lecture 'Buttoned Up People.'" The audience shrieked, and to this day, through the tender-hearted forbearance of those people, that lecturer does not know why the announcement of his conferee's beautiful word picture lecture created just that kind of enthusiasm. At one time Dr. Thomas E. Green was submitted to the long introduction agony. He stood it as patiently as possible, and so did the audience, but when the introducer ceased and bowed out the paid speaker of the evening Dr. Green walked forward and said in his most ministerial tone: "I am going to add a phrase to the litany, making it read as follows: 'From our traducers and our introducers good Lord deliver us!'" Sometimes a town committee is cantankerous and takes on a degree of choicness never dreamed of or aspired to by a city committee. At one time Elias Day, a make-up artist, was behind the scenes laying out his wigs, beards, etc., when a committeeman came back to see him. After the usual greetings the committeeman said: "I hope to goodness you're better'n the last number on our course was!" "Who was it?" asked Mr. Day. "Dr. Russell Conwell of Philadolf." "Didn't you like him?" asked Day in a daze. "Rotten!" said the committeeman. "Who came before that!" "And what did you', have before that?" asked Day, now prepared for anything. "Schumann-Heink and her company." "Did you hear her?" PASSING IT ON. Husband of Tomorrow (reviewing wedding presents)—That awful cruel seems familiar. Wife of Tomorrow—Yes, dear, you saw it at the Browns. They got it as a wedding present, and gave it to the Smiths at theirs. It's the Smith's present. But never mind, dear—Henry's wedding comes off soon!—London Opinion. Some men run when no girls pursue. OLD WINE; SMALL FOR ITS AGE. Samuel Foote, the English comedian, was dising one day in Paris with Lord Stormont, and some very old Cape wine was passed around in very small glasses. Foote was asked why he kept his glass so long before him without drinking, to which he replied, I am only considering how small it is for its age—Samuel Arthur, Beant, Samuel Bartings. Preposity glides the world and trims it up with raindrop colour bedding. NUMBER 6. "Everbody a kickin', said she was poorer'n home talent." "Well', said Day, the settledness of despair in his tone, 'you'll like me!' But perhaps the best instance of perfect adaptation on the spur of the moment is found in an anecdote Bob Burdette vouched for as having been the experience of his illustrious contemporary, Bill Nye. Nye and Burbank were being starred that year by Major Pond. They were doing the Canadian provinces and en- the night of the special episode were at Victoria, British Columbia. Burbank was doing heavy dramatic work as the best possible foll for Nye's subtle and side-racking-humor. But in the audience were several men who had that evening tasted too frequently of the flowing bowl. These were oocasionally break forth with remarks that were models of untilmelliness. Finally, when Burbank was in the midst of his most fascinating and tragic reading and the audience was holding its breath, one whose breath was too strong to be held burst out into a maudlin snatch of song which utterly sidetracked and discouraged the lecturer. The speaker stopped, lost and confused beyond recall. But just as the silence was beginning to be felt Nye stepped blandly and quickly from behind the scenes, laid his hand on his companion's arm and gazed thoughtfully over the house. Then, in a mild but distinct volge, he asked: "Is Dr. Leslie H. Keeley in the room?" Even the fact that it was a near British audience could not hide the consummate wit of the remark, and the evening was saved and made a triumph instead of ignominious defeat for the speakers.—Strickland W. Gillilian in St. Louis Republic. "How sweet! How divine!" she gushed. The violinist blushed a beautiful pink. "Ah," he began, "I was merely—" "No, no; you needn't make any excuses, Mr. Fiddlinski." she cried. "Really and truly not. I heard your magnificent playing as I came through the hallway just now, and, oh, it was beautiful—beautiful!" "Thank you, but—" "Now, no 'buts,' please. I positively refuse to listen to them. That is the only thing I have against you great artists," she went on, tapping him playfully. "You are always apologizing for your wonderful work. Tell me what you were playing, Mr. Fiddlinski. It was the sweetest thing I have ever heard. Was it one of your own compositions?" "Er—well, perhaps," replied the musician, with a faint smile. "I was putting in a new Ei string."—Answer. THE TWO OBADIAHS. The New York Sun, which loves a good, mouth-filling name better than it does a "scoop," takes gleeful editorial note of the fact that when the United States senate next meets there will be two Obadiahs in that great body—Obadiah Gardner of the state of Malne and Frank Obadiah Briggs of New Jersey. Both Obadiahs are fondly expected by a confident constituency to perform good service and reflect credit upon the folks at home. There, used to be a college ditty which ran thus: Said the old Obadiah to the young Obadiah: "I am dry, Obadiah, I am dry." Said the young Obadiah to the old Obadiah: "So am I, Obadiah, so am I" But this conversation can never happen in the senate or its purlieus, for one of the Obadiahs comes from the state of Maine.—Boston Post. Some men's idea of social distinction is to have their names appear in the newspaper frequently in auto accidents. Bertle—"I don't want to go to bed yet, sia. I want to see you and Mr. Shepherd play cards." Lucie—"You wicked thing! We never do it!" Bertle—"But I heard mamma tell you to mind how you played your cards when Mr. Shepherd came." A woman's patience, like her drudgery, goes unappreciated; the exacting woman succeeds mostly in getting what the patient woman deserves. DISCOMFORT. "Is a fat man necessarily uncomfortable in warm weather?" Reading: ought to be called one of the fine arts, as Indeed it Is. It fur- Mishes the opportunity of taking in tho thoughts of great authors and the sbillty to impart these thoughts to others. A prominent educator has xiven this brief definition: “Reading 1g getting through.” But it is more than this, ft {s the bringing out the. thought and feeling of the author-tn, guch a manner.ag to make the hearers: @ee and feel with the reader. The: reader who félls short of this end. tas cat ceed. ~ When Ezra read the law to the peo- Ple they wept because the reading was effective. We too frequently Usten to poor pulpit reading. For such reading there {8 no excuse. Every minister ought to study his Bible so thoroughly, especially the chapters he is going to read on any given occasion, that his hearers are made ‘to feel that he 1s fully possessed of the thoughts con- tained in the passeges he is reading. While the Scruptures are being read God is talking to the people, A min- ister should therefore be prepared to read well, and not get up to blunder ever the Scriptures. Word-calling 1s notreading. To read well one must be effective. He must make his hear- ers feel what he [s reading. Our church services often fall at the begin- ning on account of ineffective read- ing by the pastor. The Bible is poorly read; the hymns are poorly read. If the hymns be well selected they are read in such & way that the people cannot see the connection between the hymns and the subject of the ser mon, How readest thou, Brother Minis- ter? Be careful as to your manner of reading, for much of your success as a preacher will depend on your good reading—Southern Ploughman. One of the greatst tragedies of hu- man slavery was the breaking up of family ties, espectally the selling of ebildren away from their mothers. ‘Was this tragedy ended in the United States when Abraham Lincoln signed the proclamation of emancipation? Frederick E. Bauer, superintendent of the children’s bureau of the depart- ment of public charities, Is authority for the statement that between 2,000 and 4,000 children are taken from their parents every year in New York city because the rising cost of living sub- merges the family, making it impos- eible for their parents to support them. They are cared for by charl- table institutions, and a beautifw charity it is. But so far as the senti- ment of parental and fillal love is con- cerned, does it make so very much difference whether the family Is: broken at the auction block or at the empty breakfast table? Broken fam- ilies mean broken hearts as much now as In the days “befoah de war.”—To- ledo News-Bee. The Religious Forward movement, a brand new thing, with plenty of big Toney and sentiment behind {t, has -begun to move.’ The purpose is to carry the Gospel to those In the high- ways and by-ways of the large citles who are not now reached by religious Influences. We were once, in 1903, surprised to see @ Salvation Army band marching down a side street in Yokahoma, Japan, playing “Shall We Gather at the River?” While all sorts of movements are organized or being organized, to reach and help better the moral condition of every natlon- ality in the republic, very little 1s done to reach and help better the morals of the negro. He is left alone, to work out his salvation In his own way. His churches must broaden out their work. The negro needs his own Christian Temperance unions, rescue missions and homes, settlement works, Young Men's and Young Women’s Christan associations, Salvation Armies and the like—New York Age. If It can be successfully snown that Meroe is the real birthplace of Egyp- tlan civilization the negro’s part in it is settled. All of the traditions relat- Ing to this ancient city connect the same with the Indublitably negro Nu- midians. All the centurfes of conquest and pillage have not succeeded in changing to‘any perceptible ‘degree the race affiliation of its inhabitants. They have always been a hearty, war- lke race of men and are so today, It is known and admitted that Egyptian celvilization was Introduced to Greece and became the nucleus around whtch modern civilization has grown. When the world grows older ft ts possible that negro scholars will establish this fact beyond doubt and thus place the negro race at the source of the stream of civilization from the ever flowing banks of which he {s supposed to be slaking his thirst for the first time. Some Afro-American pastors would Jose.their jobs as hod-carriers if they neglected it as they do paying their subscriptions to thelr race papers. If you discontinue it then they howl, and if you continue to mail {t then they say I thought you would have discon- tinued It when the timechdd expired, If you write them you get en answer as quick ag if your had written to the moon or the sun. .

A Dago had ordered a windmill and had received {t, but he had spent sev- eral days trying to find a certain valve.

For the same reason, the white man owes his assistance. “The making of opportunities on the farm, In manufacturing the raw material from the clay, forest and the soil, demands the co-operative ef- fort of the whole race. “Bullding and maintaining banks -is a part of that work. The Indian could not hold a place here, because he could not make the soll bring forth results by the touch of his hand, The negro In the south has a great op- portunity but he has to profit by the experience of the American Indfan.” Other addresses were made by Dr. G.

Samuel, 1, 9-10. King Saul had lost the battle of Gilboa to the Philistines, "and he was sore wounded of the archers." He asked his armor-bearer to thrust him through, and when the armor-bearer refused fell upon his own sword. He did the work badly and half reclined on the ground, unable either to rise or to fall, until there came by a young man, an Amalekite, who, at his own request, "put him out of his misery." What Saul's armor-bearer refused to do and what the young Amelekite did do—namely, end a dying man's suffering—is being seriously advocated today as the proper course to pursue in similar cases. The deed of those Shakers in Florida is known to all. it has found many defenders. A dying woman was helped to die. Little more than 100 years ago Napoleon Bonaparte was charged with administering mortal doses of opium to sixty French soldiers, said to be dying of the plague, whom he could not carry with him in the retreat from Jaffa and who, if found alive by the Turks, would be shamefully tortured. To assist people out of the world is not new. The Jews and the Teutons were the only races of antiquity that did not practice infanticide. Superfluous children, especially sickly ones and females, were put out of harm's way before they were old enough to know anything about it, just as some people drown kittens before their eyes are open. Among savages those persons attacked by "that most incurable of all diseases, old age," were knocked on the head by children or grandchildren, and among some races "the relatives and friends of the family." were respectfully invited to feast on the late lamented. The motive of cannibalism was fully as high and pure as the modern motive for putting a sufferer out of the way "for his own good to save him pain." Savages believed that burial in their own stomachs gave more honorable sepulture to their loved ones than a grave in the cold ground, and that they should eat them was more seemly than that worms should do it. By their belief that in partaking of the defunct's body they partook also of his mental and moral qualities they paid him an additional compliment. It is strange that the old savage custom of killing off the undesirable which we were supposed to have outgrown should be revived at this late date. The doctor's dictum, "The case is hopeless," or "If he lives he will be a nuisance," will be the signal for sending simultaneously for the minister and the undertaker. We can picture in imagination the deathbed scene of a parent when the once discarded method of savages has been revived. The weeping family kneel round the bed of the corpse-elect while the clergyman reads the prayers for the dying. Then after the last kiss the doctor administers the water of oblivion so as to have the body ready, according to agreement, for the undertaker, who respectfully waits without the door. When what was the "sick room" has become the "death chamber" the clergyman says again in solemn tones: "Let us pray," and offers up supplications for the beaved. This will be merely a new way of showing the same love that formerly "honored and succored" one's parents, for, of course, the "happy dispatch" will be given to a useless parent only "for his good." Before euthanasia, which is the Greek name for this form of murder and means "easy death," can become a universal custom certain important points must be settled. Who shall decide that a patient shall be released from the burden of the flesh—the doctor, the family, or the patient himself? Suppose the family wish to have a funeral and the patient objects; suppose the family and the doctor agree that a man will be better off dead and the man himself has his doubt, who shall cast the deeling vote? Again, if it is allowable to release a man from physical pain, why not also from mental pain? If you can COLD STORAGE IN EUROPE. Many of the European cities are following the example of America as regards cold storage plants, says the Scientific American. Paris is one of the centers where such questions are now being promoted, and the Refrigeration society is endeavoring to bring such questions before engineers and manufacturers. Not long since there has been built a cold-storage plant in the suburbs of Paris, and lying on the North railroad. It is designed to store home products which are to be exported, as well as foreign products brought in by rail to be consumed in the city. There are now 11 cold-storage chambers in operation. A convenient system is the use of an automatic wagon with freezing compartments, which piles between the city and the storage house. It carries the products to the sellers in town, and also takes back the unsold products for storage. kill a man "for his own good" when he is suffering from cancer, why not when he is suffering from the blues? Will it be permissible for the doctor, seeing his friend unhappy, or for a long-suffering family that is tired of the whining of one of its members, to kill him "for his own good" with or without his consent? Will the doctor ever be justified in refusing to kill a man who says he wants to die? And will it be allowable under special circumstances for a man to kill himself, or to kill a member of his family, without bothering the doctor? Reduced to its simplest terms, it amounts to just this: You must either ask a man's consent, or dispatch him without his consent. The first case is assisted suicide; the second, ordinary murder. And if euthanasia prevails the door will be opened for all forms of murder, and plain suicide will be as common as it was before Christianity put a new estimate on human life. There is no use talking about the sacredness of life to people who do not regard it as sacred. If life is only a chemical phenomenon evolved from the world's primeval sillage, there is nothing sacred about it, and to put a useless man out of the way by euthanasia is logical and the wisest thing to do. From this materialistic stapdpoint Christianity has been wrong in building hospitals and asylums that the hopelessly "unfit" may still live, because it is a "scientific sin" in violation of nature's great law—"the survival of the fittest." From the same standpoint suicide is justifiable, for there is nothing over which a man has such absolute right as over his own body, his own life and person. There is no natural law against suicide, or drunkenness, or any other harm a man may do to his own body. Only the Jewish and Christian religions have regarded suicide as a sin, although neither the Old Testament nor the New Testament contains any positive prohibition. Yet but three sulcides are recorded in the Old Testament, and only one in the New Testament. If we lose our Christianity, sulcide will become as common as in Greece and Rome of old, and China and Japan of today. Even then it may be necessary for the government to interfere for the good of society. When a popular teacher in Alexandria advocated, sulcide because, he said, life had in it more of pain than of pleasure Ptolemy closed his lecture room. Anciently, in many places, there was government regulation of sulcide. The city of Marselles kept a public supply of hemlock on hand, but before a man could get a good swallow the town council had to approve of his reasons for wishing to die. That even sulcides feel their deed to be wrong is evinced by their expressed trust in God's mercy and by their letters to friends asking forgiveness. It is unsafe to intrude where not invited and where instead of receiving a welcome one may be met by the question: "What doest thou here?" Moreover, how can one know that he is sufficiently prepared for another life? God is the best judge of a man's preparedness to go. As we have no right to go unbidden to that other world, we have no right to send others there unbidden. God, who placed them here, has his own set time for their departure. That they are burdensome is no excuse for getting rid of them. They may be kept here to try our patience. How much love would be lost through finding no outlet, if there were no Tiny Tims in the world? With so many anodynes to relieve pain, their sufferings can no longer be pleaded as an excuse for sending them on. There is one sense in which our most atheistical scientists must regard life as sacred: It is the one mystery that has baffled them utterly. Microscopes and test tubes are no help here. What is it? Whence did it come? Whither is it tending? What caused It in the first place? Let them answer these questions in scientific terms and prove that this thing Life is a mere nothing, instead of laying sacrilegious hands on what is a mystery even to them. As for ourselves, we regard life as a tide that "drew from out the boundless deep" of God, and in God's good time "turns again home." WHEN THE WORLD WAS MADE. When Lottie returned from her first visit to Sunday school she was asked what she had learned. "God made the world in six days and was arrested on the seventh day," was her version of the lesson imparted.—Lippincott's. THE TWO OBADIAHS. The New York Sun, which loves a good, mouth-filling name better than it does a "scopo," takes gleeful editorial note of the fact that when the United States senate next meets there will be two Obadiahs in that great body—Obadiah Gardner of the state of Maine and Frank Obadiah Briggs of New Jersey. Both Obadiahs are fondly expected by a confident constituency to perform good service and reflect credit upon the folks at home. There used to be a college ditty which ran thus: Said the old Obadiah to the young "So am I. Obadlah, so am I." But this conversation can never happen in the senate or its purleus, for one of the Obadiahas comes from the state of Maine.—Boston Post. TRUE RELIGION IT IS NOT TRUE RELIGION TO SHOUT ALL DAY SUNDAY AND WIND UP IN THE POLICE COURT MONDAY. Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker is not only a very great preacher, but he is a very sensible as well as a very eloquent man. Doctor Washington regards him as one of the soundest leaders in the country. He is further recommended by his own large achievements in Augusta, including this new institutional church he is about to build at a cost of $100,000. Doctor Walker knows the Bible from cover to cover, and he knows his own people from A to Z. He understands their virtues, appreciates their progress, sympathizes with them. in the temporary distress that has overtaken them, and thoroughly knows their shortcomings, which are many. Lord, many. One of the faults, a chief fault at that, with colored people, according to Doctor Walker who said so in a notable address at Pittsburg recently, is their failure to understand what is really true religion. True religion does not mean shouting all day Sunday, winding up at the police court the first thing Monday morning. It means to shout on a Sunday because you have lived well the week before-Sunday. It means what the Bible says it means—an appreciation of the Ten Commandments in operation, not as they read in some glided frame on the wall. It means patience and honor, honor as well as prayer without ceasing. It means progress here, because religion holds out no hope of glory for a lazy man. It means life in the fullest sense. The pew while wrong is not wrong alone. It is Doctor Walker's opinion that the preacher must preach a practical every-day religion if he has any hope whatever of holding both his congregation and his own place as the leader of the people. A lifeless pulpit means, for colored people particularly, a lifeless race. While it is the mission of the preacher to carry the people up to heaven, he must come down on earth to start up with them. A bad man in the pulpit is more to be despised than ten sinners in the seats of the saints. Doctor Walker has the correct notion about true religion which is not only to live "unspotted before the world," but to live as clean every day as we try to appear on Sunday.—New York Age. SPECTER SHIPS LEGENDS OF SHADOWY CRAFT OF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. The coast of New England has numerous legends concerning specter ships firmly believed by the rugged fishermen, who assert stoutly that on various occasions gilmpees of the shadowy craft have been seen, followed invariably by fatal disaster. The specter of the Palentine is occasionally seen on Long Island sound and is the forerunner of a gale of wind. She was a Dutch trading vessel and was wrecked off Block Island in 1752. The wreckers, it is said, made short work of her, stripping her fore and aft and setting fire to the hull. As she drifted blazing off the coast a human form was visible amid the flames, the form of a female passenger, left to perish on the doomed craft. Since and generally upon the anniversary of the wreck a phantom ship with blazing hull, charred spars and scorched sails and riggings has been seen cruising off Block island. Whittier recorded the legend in graceful verse, as well as that of a ghostly cruiser that sailed from a New England port of her last voyage, which he termed "The Dead Ship of Salem." In the seventeenth century a ship was about to sail from Salem to England. Her cargo was on board, sails bent and passengers on deck, when two passengers came hurriedly off and engaged passage. The couple were a young man and a young woman, who, so tradition records, were remarkable for their bearing and beauty. Who they were or whence they came no one in Salem town could tell. The ship being detained by adverse winds, the mysterious couple excited the suspicions of the townspeople, who viewed them as uncanny and prophesied disaster to the vessel if allowed to sail in her. But the master, a bluff and stern sailor, refused to listen and finally departed on a Friday. The vessel never reached her destination and was never spoken, but later in the year incoming vessels reported sighting a craft with luminous rigging and salts and shining hull and spars. She was sailing with all canvas set against the wind, with a crew of dead men standing in the shrouds and leaning over the rail, while upon the quarterdeck stood a young and beautiful couple.—New York Herald. A BAD BOY. Bertle—"I don't want to go to bed yet, sis. I want to see you and Mr. Shepherd play cards." Lucie—"You wicked 'thing! We never do it!" Bertle—"But I heard mamma tell you to mind how you played your cards when Mr. Shepherd came." WILLING, BUT CAUTIOUS. "Try to drink of this, old man," says the friend. "It'll make you feel as if you had as much money as Carnegle." "But," timorously . asks the stingy one, "will it make me feel like giving it away?"—Judge. Method of Killing the Peats Adopted by Dutch Agricultural Bureau In Java. A consular report gives the following method of destroying rats adopted by M. de Kruyff of the agricultural bureau of the Dutch Indies at Buitenzark, Java. All visible rat holes were first stopped with earth to ascertain which holes were inhabited, for the inhabited holes were found reopened on the following day. Half a teaspoonful of carbon bisulphide was poured in each of these holes, and after a delay of a few second to allow the liquid to evaporate the mixture of vapor and air was ignited. The result was a small explosion, which filled the hole with poisonous gases and killed all the rats almost instantly. A pound of bisulphide is sufficient for more than 200 rat holes; 131 dead rats were found in 43 holes which were opened after the operation. It is further stated that satisfactory results in exterminating porcupines have been obtained by this method. ACME OF EGOTISM J. L. Arthur—What a narrow-minded person Bruce is! Howard—Yes; he's one of those fellows who think the whole world is warm when they get their winter flannels on. EXERCISES FOR CHILDREN. Exercise is absolutely necessary for children. Without it, it is impossible to keep the little ones' muscles and organs in a sound and healthy condition. Outdoor games are really the best form of exercise, as the children's interest is held while their muscles are being used, but brisk walks are good, too. But let them also do a few simple calisthenics to strengthen the chest, as games do not provide for this. Simply stretching the arms out in front, and then slowly moving them from front to back and back again, and then above the head and down to the side a few times is quite enough. Teach them to breath deeply at the same time. WALL COLORS.AND LIGHT. In painting or papering the walls of a room the question often arises what color reflects the most and what the least light? Recent experiments in Germany gave the following results: Dark blue reflects $ 6 \frac{1}{2} $ per cent. of the light falling upon it; dark green about 10 per cent.; pale red a little more than 16 per cent.; dark yellow, 20 per cent.; pale blue, 30 per cent.; pale yellow, 40 per cent.; pale green, $ 46 \frac{1}{2} $ per cent.; pale orange, nearly 55 per cent.; pale white, 70 per cent. Glossiness and varnish increase the amount of light reflected. A CONSIDERATION. "Thirty-eight cents a dozen for eggs!" exposulated the lady. "Why, that's more than three cents for one egg." "Well, mum," replied the grocer, "you must remember that one egg is a whole day's work for one hen." —Housekeeper. BAD ENOUGH AS IT IS. Jack—Would you like to live your life over again? Tom—And owe twice as much as I do now? No, sir!—Boston Transcript. "Don't you think it disgraceful for any man to take money for doing his plain duty?" "Well, it's certainly unwise for him to take it in anything but cash." NOT THE MATERIAL. "I wish this aviation magazine would stick to facts." "Then get them to print it on fly paper." Schwartz Advertised Deaf Man's Photograph and His Callers Astonished the Hall Boy. The hall boy had fairly split his throat shouting directions to deaf persons who had called to see Mr. Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz lived on the fourth floor rear, right-hand apartment, through the long hall and up the back stairs. It took a good deal of shouting to make people understand that. "I never saw so many deaf people in my life," said the boy. "What on earth are they all running up to Schwartz's for?" "Mr. Schwartz has advertised a deaf man's phonograph for sale," said a neighbor. "He is very hard of hearing. The phonograph was made especially for him. It has an unusually loud tone. Nobody but the hard of hearing can live with such entertainment. Mr. Schwartz, to save trouble, has advertised for a deaf purchaser." BLACKEST DAY OF LOUVRE That Was When It Had to Give Up Pictures Napoleon Had Stolen The Louvre has known a still blacker day than that on which "La Gioconda" was abstracted. This was September 23, 1815, when formal restitution had to be made of the pictures looted during the conquests of Napoleon. Commissioners attended from 14 different states. The lion's share was obtained, curiously enough, by the representatives of Cassel, who recovered no fewer than 421 pictures. Austria recovered 323, Spain 284, Holland 210, and Prussia 119. Altogether 2,065 pictures were removed, together with a number of statues, bas-reliefs, bronzes, wood carvings, camos and enamels.—Pall Mall Gazette. ROMANCE FLIES AWAY. Mr. Charles Alden Seltzer, questioned recently about the scene of his newest book, "The Two-Gun Man," replied: "All the romance has gone from the west now. I believe I would find very little in New Mexico now to remind me of the old west. Of course, a transition was inevitable; civilization must advance, and with its advance the old conditions and old customs must go. Fences and laws—and sheep—have stopped cattle stealing and the cowpuncher is dethroned. But he was once king, with the unfenced range for his kingdom. He lived a free, hard life, obedient only to his own desires. I wish to remember him as. I knew him and do not wish to return to destroy my sense of the romantic in the west."—Outing. THE INVALID'S TRAY. Small quantities only should be placed before the invalid. The serving should be as dainty as possible. A sprig of parsley adds much to the appetizing appearance of any savory dish, and the variety should be as large as the prescribed diet will permit. Never let the patient feel faint for the want of food. Do not consult the invalid about meals if it can be avoided; an unexpected dish will sometimes create a relish for food. Beef tea and soups should always be free from gregase. Warm food is more easily digested than cold. Everything should be the freshest procurable, particularly fish, milk and eggs. Barley water is a nourishing diluent for milk when the latter is not easily digested. TERRIBLE DREAM. Her face is drawn, her eyes are haggard and shrunken, and her expression is that of a woman on the verge of nervous prostration. "What in the world is wrong?" asks the astonished friend. "I never saw anyone look so teribly." "It is all because of an awful nightmare I had last night," explains the sufferer. "It simply shattered my nerves, and although I know it was merely a dream, still I cannot rid myself of its effects. I dreamed I was called upon unexpectedly to plan a dinner for Dr. Wiley, Dr. Woods Hutchinson and Upton Sinclair. MORE DECISIONS WANTED. "There's only one way to make aviation safe," said the man who loves legal formalities. "What's that?" "Get some good attorney to prove that the law of gravitation is unconstitutional." Some of the Luxurles That Are Suppliled Free to Members of Congress. "To begin with, each member of congress receives $125 a session as a stationery allowance," writes Irvin S. Cobb in Munseys. "He may be a free and lavish correspondent or a small and scanty one; just the same he gets that $125. And take it. There is no record of a refusal. "Every member has the free use of the congressional baths and barber shops under the capitol. He can take a nifty Turkish bath, a Russian bath, a Roman bath, a needle shower, or the plain, old-fashioned Pike county style of both faucets going; and it doesn't cost him a cent. As often as he pleases he may have a shave, a haircut, a facial massage, and be manicured all around, as they say in parts of Iowa when shoeing a horse. Every other day he can have the back of his neck shaved, just as if he were going to some large special function back. home. Uncle Sam pays for the attendants and provides the whole outfit." TOO LONG STUDIO OF DE DAVIDE ARTIST Mr. Parvenue—How long did it take you to do that picture? The Artist—About four months. Mr. Parvenue—Gee!

There is an old colored woman in Chattanooga whose nineteen-year-old son recently procured such a lucrative employment that he was for putting on a little more "style" than his mother had hitherto been accustomed to display. The two had gene to a general store to purchase some household supplies. As they were about to leave, the youth said: "Mammy, ain't yo' gwine to buy a couple o' plates?" "No, chile, I ain't!" was the decisive reply of the old woman. "An' I don't wanter see yo' showin' sech pride. We kin eat outen de skillet a while wit!" BLESSING IN DISGUISE. "The party will recover from this check," said Mayor Craig of Covington, apropos of a temporary set back. "They say the party will be broken. I'd reply that it will be about as much broken as young Lansing's heart. "A chorus girl who had refused young Lansing said to a friend: "I have broken his heart, I fear." "You have. You certainly have, the friend replied. "You've broken it right in half." "In half? What do you mean? "I mean that he takes two girls out to supper every night now." CAUSE AND EFFECT. "Really, it was the most mortifying experience I ever had," said the debutante, just returned from a season in London. "To think that at the very moment of my presentation to the king and queen I, should anceze!" "Perfectly awful," said her friend. "How on earth did it happen? Did you catch cold?" "No," said the debutante, ruefully. "I don't think it was anything but that old golden-rod-in-waiting that stood alongside the throne."—Harper's Weekly. SOME DIFFERENCE.

WRIGHT, We implore our men to go to the Court House at once, pay their tax and register. The books are newopen. Prove your loyalty as a citizen by attending to these du- ties. Voters are registering at the city hall for the bond election which takes place in December. Every progressive citizen fayors the is- suing of bonds. It means much for the progress and health of the city. Register and vote for bonds. It is commendable to note the position taken especially by the Irish and Jews against the cari- caturing of members of their race in plays, ete. Recently in Boston two Irish actors took off the uspal part of an Irishman in a play in ‘one of the theatres, the result be- ing the Irishmen of that city pro- tested vigorously against the pre- sentation, This proves that they have great pride in their race and will not stand for them to be bur- lesqued in plays, etc. The atti- tnde of these races should inspire the Negro along the%same line. ‘Too often haye we heard men of intelligence themselves using the detestible term “nigger.” Each time we attend a colored show we are nauseated by the open manner in which the Negro is portrayed. “To make a “hit” with the gallery his lowest life is acted. He is shown as a drunkard, as a loafer, as a criminal, as a bully, asa liber- tine and in fact every phase of de- gradation is depicted. Especially is this true in the cheap vaudeville theatres, and too in many of those operated by members of the race. These plays are attended at times by our ladies who are caused to blush not only about the burles- quing of the Negro, but on ac- count of thesuggestive songs, vul- gar dancing and shameless jokes. Girls and boys attend these shows and thus their minds are dwarfed ‘so far as race inspiration for good is concerned. They ‘are shown that there is glory in conducting themselves as depicted in the shows. ‘This fact is proven by the vulgar songs that the small boys sing and whistle on the streets, the contortions of tie girls on the highway and the easy going manner of some of the older ones. As thoughtful men and women of the race we should make a united effort in placing a banon all vaude- ville and other shows that degrade our people. If the actors persist in doing so, then the effective thing todo is to stay away from the show houses that will allow such actions. Now is the time to, be- gin action. Let our thougiftful men‘and women discuss this ques- tion and unite their influence in 4 manner that will be effective. Thesmall space of time of two months is now standing between us and that one particular day in the year when Negroes should celebrate to the height of théir power. This celebration which we have in mind, and which we trust will be fittingly ébserved, is the day on which we take occasion to celebrate our freedom from slavery, the first day of January. Itis altogether necessary that we bestir ourselves and get ready for the celebration, for itis the one day in all the year when we asa people should’ make merry and hold appropriate exercises in memory ofan act which gave to us our rights as men. Every people hold dear to their hearts some special day or season. The. Jews have lost no time in cele- brating with appropriate exer- cises those particular days in the year that are dear to them, and while they have been doing honor to these days the rest of the world around them has looked on with great respect at the splendor of their celebrations. The Greeks too, in this city, have recently held ‘some demonstrations which have caused much admiration and favorable comment and the time is nearing when the Negroes of ‘this city’should tern cut in one solid mass and do honor toa day’ which Should be.as dear to them Re a oO to het ae wT Open ee te Sao ae oe eS ple., Tho: time,was in this city when nothing but praise could be heard of the’ manner:in which we celebrated pur emancipation from slayery ,but.of recent years this has not been the case and we have not made such a gocd showing, We have celebrated this day for the past few years in a sort of half hearted manner and have not given it due observance. Just what has caused us to grow in- different in this ‘matter is rather hard to say. There is a lack of unity of spirit somewhere and if this is not overcome soon we shall continue tomakea virtual farce of the day. Co-operation of all the leading men in the city is ab- solutely necessary before we can again do ourselves justice and celebrate with a fitting demonstra- tion this the dearest day of the year. It is not a time when every man of influence among us should go his own way and into his own little circle and make merry to himself, but a day when every Negro should set aside his jealous, petty feelings and’ act in unison with every: other Negro for the good of a celebration which will cause others around us to respect us more highly and also make us look with more graciousness upon that act which set us all free. Savannah is a city of organizations and societies, so far as the Negro is concerned, and if all of these can be made to feel the necessity of lending their strength to the celebration of January first no fear need be felt of the demon- stration being praiseworthy. ‘fhe ministers can do immeasurable good in uniting the Negroes into one merry phalanx on this day if they will begin in time to urge their people to put forth their best efforts to turn out. Let them talk this matter over seri- ously in their meetings and let them decide upon some one par- ticular committee that will take charge of the arrangements for the day and follow the sugges- tions and plauS of this committee. Let us not bé confronted with the predicament we were in last year when there were two separate celebrations, the one conflicting with the other. There is plenty of honor and distinction to be gained by every one concerned if the feelebration is a success and the only way this cam be accom plished is by one grand effort on the part of every Negro in the city. , Let the high and the low, the well-to-do ‘and the poor, the educated and the uneducated all be united in one common effort to make this coming first day of January the most memorable in the history of our emancipation celebrations.

Among them was ‘oung boy of fifteen years of age whe becoming anxious to get a Teal taste of the approaching war took sileht leave of his home and went over to Columbia, S. C,, where he entered in the Tenth Immunes early .in the Spring of 1898. ‘This young man was Mr. William H. Logan whose cut is here shown and who hds remained in the service of the Uni- ted States atmy every since and who is spending his furlough in the city with relatives and friends. Mr. Logan has rendered some very meritorious service to the army and has made an enviable record -since his enlistment thirteen years ago. Shortly after joining the Tenth iogmunes he was transferred to Ninth Massgchisetts and went through campaign in Guba with thaf regiment. Alter returning froma the Spanish Amer- ican war Mr. Logau was sent out to the’ frontier in the west where he was ser- geant of the hospital corps. Later he; saw service in the Philipines 35 private aud sergeant major in the ninth avalry: and as second Jieutenant in 49th infant. try, volunteers.

Discussion was ‘opened by the President of the League, Other: th.t pole on the topic were Bros. A. tuivens, B.S. Reed, A. bie Solomon Grant and Jesse Brinson. Theprogram that followed was very short, but ex. ceedingly good; it began with a recita- tion by Miss Lilla Smith followed by a mu. ical selection by Miss Pear] Marshall and Prof, Hankerson which was indeed amasterly picges which is also true of the duet which was rendered by Mrs. L.

L, Jones preached at the 11 o'clock a. m., service from St. Luke 12:17; select: ing for the theme of his discourse ‘tA hard question.” ‘The sermon evidene- ed the fact that a bountiful blessing is ultimately a curse to a covetous heart ed man, and that the perplexity tha overcomes his better judgment is “due to the fact that he forgets the source whence his blessings come and as a re sult selfishly reaches his own conclu: sions. The Sunday Schoot held a live ly meeting in the afternoon. Prof, I M. Jackson reviewed the classes. At night Rev. W, L. Plekard, pastor of the First Baptist Church (white,) celiver. ed an interesting sermon‘on Mission,” which aroused the spirit ‘of those present to do effectual mission work, A splendid collection for mission pur. poses was raised, headed with a dona. tion from the pastor, Rev. Pickard and the visitors that accompanied him. The choir rendered very appropriate selec- tions.

Jockey club course recently emphasizes the practical ex- tinction of the negro as a race rider. ‘Three decades ago the engro was in his zenith as a jockey. At that time the mafority of owners of thorough- bred horses were in the south and the negro Was the natural attendant of the horses. Gradually with the com- ing of the sport to the north, the ne- sro jockey lost his ascendancy. The white boy became the preferred one, and today a negro rider fs as rare on sthe tracks as is a gray horse. Of the great negro Jockeys Isaac Murphy was the peer in conduct and fn judgment of any white rider. “Lon- ny” Clayton and his brother both were well behaved, well dressed and compe- tent Jockeys. Pike Barnes rode him aelf into the tist of Immortals by win: ning the first Futurity with Proctor Knott, beating the great Salvator; Willie Simms achteved success both tn this country and In England; then there were “Coley” Stone and Tony Hamilton, “Soup’: Perkins, who later made hia debut in the east with Henry of Navarre, and Joo Harris, who was the star rider in California in 1907. Isaac Murphy Was Dean. ‘The majority of theso riders are dead. ‘The others are poor. Those who are not dead have passed away from the torf, Isaac Dean, the dean and idol of the black race, as he was the pride of all horsemen, dled in Louisville practically penniless, He was crushed by the accusatio® that ho was drunk when Tea Tray in the midsuamer o! 1890 defeated the great Firenze. He was suspended for 30 days by the stewards of the meoting—a most tnadequate sentence if he was {nitox! cated and an unjust verdict 1f he bad deen drugged, as was generally under stood. Perhaps the association did no! care to hare Its great new park sad dled with what promised to be the gravest scandal on the American turt ‘That practically ended the tur! career of Murphy. He was tubercular, and in addition developed stomach trouble from his efforts to keep down to weight. This latter ailment was added to by his fondness for cham pagne. It was, he contended, the only Uquor ke could take that would jatrengthen without fattening btm. He often said his champagne bills were ‘equal to all bis other living expenses, and he lived well. He spent about $12,000 a year for ten years, for he bad a number of camp followers. Barnes’ Life Ended In Tragedy. “Pike” Barnes for a time promised to maintain a high place in the jockey ranks, but a fondness for night life dulled bis judgment. An accident, too Drought on a timfdlty that be coutd not geem to be able to shake off. He was riding in Chicago in a raco in febich a boy named Abbas fell “Pike's” horse strade on the boy and Mterally crushed the life out of bim Barnes’ nerve was gone forever after. He rode one or two good raced subse quently—notably his victory on Ten: ny’ in the Brooklyn handicap—but practically hls career ended with the accident. It was sald he could not’be induced to sleep in the night time, sit ting up until daylight, then to fall asleep until It would be time for bim to go to the races. : Of course, such a Ife meant ruin Barnes had the good sense not to dail} about the tracks and become a wreck He took with him what was left of hi savings and started a saloon in Chica go. He lasted only half a dozen sea sons. None of his race has since at tafned the eminence he achleved. ‘Some may question this latter state ment and point to Willle Simms, bu Simms was @ consistent jockey rathe! than a sensational one. He earne large fees when he rode for Michael F Dwyer and Richard Croker. But mon ey seemed to flow from him, He hac at one time, or it 1s s0 reported, 7 bank account of generous proportion: and some land on Ocean Parkway Brooklyn, but it has gone.

Friends rescue hie body from a pauper’s grave an their mounts when on their way to the post, but Hamilton kept up a con- stant kind of gibber that was always a soures of amusement. Most of the money he earned heygare away. He had a sort of mushroom growth, springing In a’ short time from an un- dersized exercise boy with s cot in a stall to where he could earn bun; dreds of dollars in a day, Perhaps It ts Nttle wonder, under the circum: stances, thet he didn't appreciate money's value, Champagne and dla- monds were his weaknesses, The $1,000 diamond that he would wear to- day would be the property of his valet or his favorite tomorrow. A “bank roll” to him was merely a bank roll. It might be of $1 notes or of $50 or $100 notes. It wes good just for s0 long as {t lasted, If It were of $1 notes it probably lasted! him as long as would one com- posed entirely of $100 notes, It was pathetic at times to see the way in which the black boy was part- ing with bis money, but he apparently did not realize {t and {t was not until his money was all gone and necessity for bread and shelter and medicine pressed bim that it came to him how valuable a little saving might have been—New York Express, a OF GREAT HAYTIAN A great Haytlan is dead. There are not a great many great Haytians liv- ing. Gen. Antenor Firman died In ex- ile, at St. Thomas, D, W. I. Most great Haytians, Including Toussaint L’Over- ture, have died in exile; always as generals, never as privates. General Firman was great In peaco, and not in war; all of bis war ventures having been fallures, undertaking always to secure the office of president, a tricky bauble which those Haytlans who have won ft have been unable to keep for long; while as a diplomat and as a minister of state he won much success and demonstrated high qualities of statesmanship. In 1889 Mr, Firman was minieter of forelgn affairs in the cabinet of Prest- dent ‘Hippolyte, and was responsible for the fallure of the United States to secure a concession for a coaling sta- tion at Mole St. Nicholas. Bir. Fred. erick Douglass was United States min- {ster to Hayti at the tlme, but the ne- gotiations were taken out of his hands and placed tn those of Admiral Ghir- ardi, Mr. Douglass, as he {old the writer after returning to this country, was greatly humiliated for his country by the high-handed, rough and insolent manner in which the admiral sought to compel the Haytian government to make the concession, But Minlater Firman remained firm and self-con- tained. As a trump card Admiral Ghirard! produced a memorandum of conces- sion, in Mr. Firman’s own handwrit- tng, which he had previously submit- ted for the consideration of our state department, and demanded that Mints- ter Firman should comply with the terms of It, Minister Firman smiled benevolently, and pointing out that while he had signed the memorandum, Secretary Blaine had forgotten to at- tach his signature to it, announced that the negotiations were at an end. The admiral was taken clean off bis high horse, but could not do other thon accept the humillating situation in which Mr, Blaine’ oversight bad placed him, Mr, Firman greatly desired to be president of Haytl and deserved to be; but he had the misfortune to be born a scholar and statesman and not a warrior, and so be died in exile, with the cherished desire of his soul dented to him.—New York Age, COULDN'T SURPRISE HIM. “Vermont 1s the place for charac- ters,” sald Jerome S.

"The conjurer at this performance asked for some one to atep up on the platform, and HI volunteered.

It ts remarkable how many interest- Ing things, not originally looked for, put picked up by the way, were dis- covered in Sbackleton’s south polar expedition. One of the most sugges- tlye has recently been pointed out. It Is a plece of rock found on the Beard- more glacier, which turns out to be. long to the Cambrian Imestone series, and closely to resemble a similar for- ‘mation lately discovered in South Aus- tralla. The fossils In the rock from the Antarctic are identical with those of the Australian strata, representing forms of Ife which immediately pre ceded the corals and sponges In geo logical history. ‘The Inference drawn that at a not very distant perl or in the past Australia and the Ant fretle continent were united. THE NEGRO 1S FOUND - 1H ALL BIG. MOVEMENTS COLORED MAN WHO FOUGHT AT THE BATTLE OF SAN JACINTO LIVING NEAR AUSTIN, TEX. Some years ago one of our near- poets wrote a piece to the effect that i all the blg movementy and Issues in this country there has always been ‘a negro “In It!” The truth of those verses is being continuallyg verified by tha development of events. To illustrate: Who would Have thought that negroes fought in the battle of San Jacinto not as body servants, but as regular soldiers? Who would have dreamed that one of theso s0l- dlers would live to attain the distinc- tion of being the sole survivor of that battle? Truth 1g Indeed stronger thatt fictfon, Elisha Pruett, now ninety-two years of age, and living near Austin, shows conclusively in a recent Interviow that he was regularly enllsted ix Hous- ton’s army, and fought side by side with white soldiers in the last battle of the Texas revolution. He got an honorable discharge and was given papers entitling him to seven leagues of land as a reward for his services. Owing to a serles of deaths among those to whom he en- trusted his papers, the latter were finally lost, and some one else suc- ceeded in getting his land. He is now applying to the state tor a pension and for his services fn her defense, and to the United States for.a almllar reward for his services in the war with Mexico. ‘The foregoing story recalls to mind an Inctdént In the life of General Sam Houston, which also shows the negro “in {ty" though in‘a more humble ca- pacity than that in which Mr. ;Pruett acted. General Houston was @ man who loved bis whisky and he apolo- sized to no one for drinking as much as he pleased—if {t could be bad! Shortly after his election as pres{- dent of the Texas republic, he and some friends decided to have a “night of iL” In the convivial company was Esau, the general's falthful negro serv- ant, It 1s more than probable that when the wine began to flow, Esau got his! Late at night on this particular oc- casion the general awoke from his troubled slumbers feéling that he would, If possible, give his kingdom, not for a horse, but for a drink of water, “Esau!

The Sunday School Lesson SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR OCTOBER 29, 1911. A PSALM OF DELIVERANCE. Golden Text.—"The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad." Ps. 126.3. Psalm 85. Commit vs. 10, 11. Time.—536 B. C. Place.—Jerusalem. Exposition.—1. "Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob, 1-3. The primary teaching and application of this Psalm and other Psalms of this period is evidently to Israel and their restoration from captivity; the restoration in the days of Ezra and the more complete restoration that is yet to be. Nevertheless these Psalms contain great prayers and principles. The approximate date of the Psalm is indicated by the opening words, "Lord, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land," etc. This was a literal fulfillment of his promises. When God gave Israel the law, he warned them that if they did not hearken into him and keep his commandments, that he would punish them with dreadful plagues and finally make their cities waste and bring their sanctuaries into desolation and scatter them among the heathen. They broke his commandments and turned a deaf ear unto himself and he kept to the letter the awful words of doom he had spoken. But MAKING UMBRELLAS THE WORK OF ASSEMBLING THE FRAMES AND PUTTING ON COVERS. In most umbrella factories the task of turning out ribs and stems is left to other factories making, a specialty of those parts. These are sent to the manufacturer, and the man whose work it is to assemble the parts inserts a bit of wire into the small holes at the end of the ribs, draws them together about the main rod and adjusts the ferrule. In cutting the cloth or silk 75 thicknesses or thereabouts are arranged upon a table at which skilled operators work. In one department there are girls who operate hemming machines. A thousand yards of hemmed goods is a day's work for one of these girls. The machines doing this job attain a speed of some 3,000 revolution a minute. After the hemming has been done the cloth or silk is cut into triangular pieces with a knife, as before, but with a pattern laid upon the cloth. The next operation is the sewing of the triangular pieces together by machinery. The covers and frames are now ready to be brought together. In all there are twenty-one places where the cover is to be attached to the frame. The handle is next glued on, and the umbrella is ready for pressing and inspection. By far the greater number of umbrellas today are equipped with wooden handles. A large variety of materials may, however, be used. Gold and silver quite naturally enter into the construction of the more expensive grades of umbrellas. A wooden handle may be quite expensive, though, by reason of the wood used—Harper's Weekly. AND THE RIDER? New Stable Lad—That 'un aren't 'ardly safe. I wonder you keeps 'im. Master—Best 'oss 'we've got; find its way 'ome alone from anywhere, 'e will, like a dog—Punch. that Thy people may rejoice in Thee." 4-7. In y. 4 there seems to be a going back in the thought, for the preceding verses tell us of anger already ceased and here is the prayer that it may cease. The explanation is that vs. 1-3 tell of a restoration and forgiveness that has already taken place, and when sin again entered, there were consequently new manifestations of God's displeasure and the Psalmist encourages his heart by recalling what God has done in the past in order to ask him to do so again. He recognizes that God's people must turn from their sin before God turns from his anger, and he recognizes too that God must "turn us" if we are to really turn, i. e., that true repentance is God's work. This is a frequent prayer in the Bible (Ps. 80:3, 7, 19; Jer. 31:18; Lam. 5:21). The God who thus brings men to repentance is the "God of salvation." Verse 6 is a prayer for a national revival or quickening of Israel. There were many such revivals in Israel in response to the prayer of believing individuals or a believing few. (e. g., Exra 9:8, 9). The church and believing individuals in the church have at times taken up this prayer of ancient Israel and God has most wonderfully answered it. "Revive us again" has risen as sweet incense before God when the church has been in desolation, and mighty outpourings of grace have resulted. Every true revival, local or general, is begun in this prayer or substantially this prayer. The time has come for the church to take it up again and she is beginning to do it. The verse brings out beautifully the results of a true reviving from God, "That Thy people may rejoice in Thee." Nothing brings such joy to God's people as a reviving from himself. III. "I will hear what God the Lord will speak." 8-13. The Psalmist decided wisely when he said, "I will hear what God the Lord will speak." Some of us are very anxious that God the Lord would hear what we would say to him, but it never occurs to us that it is vastly more important that we should hear what he has to say to us. The man who really knows how to pray does not keep talking right along to God, but stops to listen to what God has to say to him. It would be well if we would often stop in our communion with God and say, "I will hear what God the Lord will speak." "In our prayers we talk to God. In our study of the Word, God talks to us. It is best to let God do most of the talking." (cf. John 15:7). Note carefully what God speaks when we hear, "For He will speak peace unto His people and unto His saints." Yes, that is what he speaks—peace (John 14:27; 20:19; 26; Acts 10:36). Sometimes he speaks it through his written heart peace, "The peace of God that passeth all understanding" should feed much on the word (Ps. 119:165). Some times he speaks it directly by his spirit. When one has heard the word of peace, he should walk very softly before God "Let them not turn again to folly." When one hears the great heart filling word of peace, it does not seem possible that they can turn again to folly, but alas! they often do (Gal. 4:9; 2 Tim. 2:19; 4:10). Salvation is right at hand for the one that has a reverend regard for God (v. 9), and not only salvation for the individual, but glory for the land. "When God's people are obedient mercy and truth meet together, righteousness and peace kiss each other" (v. 10). "Truth," "righteousness," prosperity, growth abound on every hand (11-13). His righteousness guides us (v. 13). BELL WITH THE WAIL OF A CHILD. A queerly shaped gong which occupie a position of honor in the center of the city of Seoul, Korea, is said to be one of the largest in the world and is called "the bell with the wall of a child in its voice." When first cast the bell sounded with a harsh and cracked note, and the superstitious emperor, fearing an ill omen, consulted with his magicians. These gentlemen held a long comfab and finally stated that the bell would never sound right until a live child was given to it. The mass was then melted again, and a live baby was thrown into the molten metal. The wall of agony uttered by the little tot as the bronze engulfed it seemed to be repeated every time the bell was tolled, and today the Koreans still claim that the wall of a child can be heard in the voice of the metal. RADIOACTIVITY OF SNOW. It has been known for some time that newly-fallen snow is radioactive, but until recently, when some French scientists looked into the matter, the subject had not been examined very closely. The investigators announce that snow quickly gathered after its descent to the earth is highly radioactive, but that this quality disappears almost entirely after the lapse of two hours. Snow which has fallen on the soil appears to retain its radioactivity a little longer than that which has come to rest upon the roofs of buildings. REMARKABLE. "One of the astronomers claims that he has charted 60,000 new worlds." "By George, it's remarkable!" "Not so very when you consider the fact that he has the use of the largest telescope in the world." "I wasn't thinking of that. What I consider strange is that with so many other worlds in existence the lady who is acting as stepmother for my children had to light on this one."—Chicago Record-Herald. TWO TYPES OF NEGRO IN AFRICA, THE AGRICULTURAL AND THE PASTORAL — BY PROFESSOR BOAS. There are two types of negro in Africa, the agricultural and the pastoral. When we make comparisons we must compare them with the ancient Europeans. It is fair to make the comparison, for the negroes, like the Europeans, have, to a large extent, developed themselves. Some things, of course, both borrowed from other countries, but in the main they are responsible for their own development. In certain directions Europe has gone further than Africa, but this means nothing at all in respect to natural aptitude. Man has been on earth probably 150,000 or 200,000 years. To take only later times, of which we know more, he has been working upward for 25,000 years since the glacial period. When you deal with periods of time like this 2,000 years or 3,000 years means nothing in the development of a race. It is like comparing a boy of eighteen with a young man of twenty-five. One may be further along than the other because he is a trifle older, but that does not mean they have not equal capacity. The Negro In Africa Has Progressed Far. Along their own lines the negroes in Africa have progressed far. Their industrial development is very high. Their pottery and wood carving are admirable, while their weaving compares favorably with the highest type anywhere. Their plush weaving is a most remarkable invention. In agriculture they cultivate gardens rather than fields, but the tillage of the soil and the distribution of work between men and women is most elaborately worked out and is analogous to that of ancient Europe. In metal work they are distinguished. It is probable, although of course it cannot be proved, that the production of iron from the ore originated near the sources of the Nile among negroes. Certainly the art of smelting iron was known to the negro before it was understood by the most highly-developed Europeans. They have beautiful filigree work of iron. They inlay iron with copper, and do the most difficult casting imaginable. In Berlin the capital was surrounded by an enormous wall covered with brass work, which would with difficulty be copied in our best foundries. In the social life of the negro we have to recognize that he, with the European and the West Aslatic, forms a unit of the human family. There is, to begin with, a particularly strong tendency among the negroes to moralize, just such a faculty as we have ourselves. Among the more primitive tribes this takes the form of proverbs. The African proverbs are very apt and astonishingly like our own. "I nearly killed a bird—no one can eat nearly in a stew," which is, of course, "First catch your hare." "He runs away from the sword and hides in the scabbard," or "Out of the frying pan into the fire." "An old dog cannot be taught." "Faming compels one to eat the fruit of all kinds of trees." There are pages and pages of these proverbs, showing the strong moralizing tendency of the Africans. African's Judicial System Prised. But more important than this is the fact that throughout Africa there is a judicial system. Now I want that emphasized, because the negroes are the only primitive people who have a regular judicial proceeding. Among other primitive peoples to say a man is guilty is to make him so—they have no idea of the right of a man to defend himself. But among the Africans there is the same idea that our forefathers worked out. A man is innocent until he is proved guilty. Politically the African has been very much underestimated. The negroes have a good political system. There is practically one fundamental type of political organization all over the continent; it varies in different places, is_better in some than in others, but it is fundamentally the same everywhere. Ordinarily there is a king and a number of ministers who have special political functions. There will be one in charge of the administration of justice, another of the agricultural interests, and so forth. In short, it is like a cabinet. Very often the king's acts are checked by a second court presided over by a woman. That is, the decisions of the males are checked by the females and vice versa. No, not woman suffrage exactly, but something like it. Indeed, as far back as we can go in the history of the negro there have been remarkable statesmen among them. We find that persons of great personality and power established empires and ruled them well. Even tribes which have no writing have traditions which are quite reliable back as far as the fifteenth century. In the northern provinces, where they have a knowledge of writing, their history goes back to the ninth century—I am leaving out the count now the empire of the Nile, which flourished in the time of the Pharaohs. And in all this history the striking fact is the enormous number of strong individuals that appear and the extraordinary power of initiative they had- They were not merely, men just like the rest of the tribe, but stronger and fiercer—they were persons of original genius. One Congo king, who ruled where we are accustomed to think of the people as cannibals, reasoned out a theory against war and applied it. There were no wars during his reign. When his people were attacked he refused to allow them to fight and submitted everything to arbitration. Another king forbade the use of bows and arrows. This left the people to fight with knives and axes and made their quarrels a fight to the death. They acquired a more daring bravery at the same time that they were taught to be chary of beginning a struggle. It is often said of the negro in Africa that he is evidently inferior because he does not advance in contact with European civilization. The fact is that European civilization has never been offered him in such a form that it could be accepted. The missionaries and the traders cannot do it. The Soudan is sufficient proof of the negro's power of assimilation. There, coming in touch with the Mohammedan culture, he has made it his own. Assimilation without the opportunity for social equality, it must be remembered, is not to be expected. It is a phenomenon which does not occur. SOME MISTAKES IN REARING CHILDREN MANY OF THE CHILDREN OF THE RACE ARE TAUGHT NOTHING BUT TO EAT AND RUN. It'a a dead out shame the way some of our people are rearing their children. They are not rearing them, but letting them come up in the world similar to the wild plants of the field and forest. Many are taught nothing but to eat and run. They have no respect for themselves, their parents, or anybody else; a gang of juvenile bums, thieves and illiterates to fill the prisons of this country. Its a common occurrence to see the small boy roving the streets at late hours in the night, when grown-up men can be scarcely seen. The knell of destruction and degradation is sounding throughout every city in the country, and every parent must take heed. Then, tender in age as he may be, small in size as they are, he stands facing the cruelties of a treacherous race. They will take him, drag him from his bed and hang him, and steal him away into the darkness and shoot him like a beast. After all of this we find those who these savageous outrages have been dealt to, in most cases to be the fruits of the half-reared child and those that are being half reared. The pleasant, polite, kind, self-respecting, respectable and law-abiding child who has been taught these necessary principles by parents who practice the same, have been ever free from the, outrageous violence practiced by some of the countrymen. If there is a case, it has originated from the influence of one of the lower class, not really from his or her own cause and him. The bulk of our people must awaken. Let the pinnacle of your success be the training of good and respectable children, then you build better generations. FLASH LIGHTS. It is said: That it is not what you used to be, it's what you are today that makes you what you're going to be tomorrow. That you should by all means prepare to live, but for heaven's sake don't forget to live. That the trouble with many of the children of today is that they have discovered that they are superior; their advantages are much greater than ours were, and they know it—and they rub it in. That we should study to be what we wish to seem. That you can hit more cats with a handful of sand than you can with a brick, but you can collect more cats with the brick. That heaven made virtue, man, the appearance. That the old-time class meeting defined in popularity because people could not continue to muster up sufficient nerve to look one another in the eyes and tell so many things which all know to be untrue.—Old Hickory. UNCALLED FOR COURTESY. The Vicomte Toussaint was formerly a colonel in the French army and mayor of Toulouse. He was a brave man and a dashing officer. During one of the hottest engagements of a terrible year of war, noticing that his troops were bending forward under a galling fire to escape the bullets of the enemy while he alone maintained an erect position, he explained, "Since when, I should like to know, has so much politeness been shown to the Prussians?" The sarcasm took instantaneous effect, for the soldiers rushed forward and carried everything before them. A VALUABLE MAN. "Yes, he had some rare trouble with his eyes," said the celebrated oculist. "Every time he went to read he would read double." "Poor fellow," remarked the sympathetic person. "I suppose that interfered with his holding a good position? "Not at all. The gas company gobble him up and gave him a lucrative job reading gas meters."—Lippincott's. The Farm There are three kinds of peanut hay: The hay made when the tops are cut off and cured the same as alfalfa or clover; the hay when the entire plant is harvested and the nuts have been removed by hand or with a thresher, and the hay where the entire plant, vines and nuts, is cured for forage. Where peanuts are to be gathered by hogs, the top may be cut, with a mower, cured in cocks and then put in the stack or barn, the same as clover or alfalfa. Peanut hay made in this way is very palatable, has about the same feeding value as hay from red clover, and has the same laxative and other feeding characteristics as alfalfa hay. The yield is one to two tons to the acre in the south, one-half to one ton in the dry farming sections in ordinary seasons. When peanuts are threshed, to secure the nuts for market, the vines are left with many small peanuts. This hay is richer than that made from the vines alone. The straw itself is not quite as palatable as that from the vines cured alone for hay, but the many small nuts add greatly to the feeding value and appetizing qualities. This kind of peanut hay sells at a good price in most of the southern markets. The entire peanut plant, vine and pods, harvested and cured for hay, makes an unusually rich and palatable hay, containing, according to analysis of the United States department of agriculture, 18.4 per cent of protein, 40 per cent of carbohydrates, and 21.5 per cent of fat. The composition will, of course, vary, with variations in the proportion between vine and pods. Many southern planters use this peanut hay from the whole plant as the only feed for their mules when doing hard work. The Arkansas experiment station found that hay from the entire peanut plant was somewhat better for horses and mules than a ration of ordinary hay and corn. This hay makes a great milk producing feed for dairy cows. Several Louisiana planters have told me that in many seasons the hay from the peanuts will pay for raising the crop, leaving the nuts clear profit —Southwest Trail. AZOTURIA. At the end of the hard work In the fall a number of cases of Azoturia develop. This disease is also called "Monday morning disease," "Fourth of July disease" and haeavnagloburia. The cause of aszoturia may be ascribed to the fact that horses in good, hard flesh, and being fed oats and good hay while working, are rested for a day or two on the same amount of feed as when at work. While the horse is idle the nourishment from the feed is not used by muscular exertion, but is stored in the liver. Nothing will be noticed in regard to the patient being sick until after it is moved say half a mile or so. The horse usually comes out of the barn feeling unusually well; will jump and play for a quarter of mile. Then he becomes dull and stupid, lags back and get lame in one or both hind legs. If allowed to stop he may recover in one or two hours so he can be taken back to the barn. If compelled to keep moving, will sooner or later drop in the harness. The explanation of the symptoms seems to be that the nourishment which is stored in the liver is thrown onto the muscles all at once and causes a congestion, so that the muscles can not take care of it; hence the stiffness. The muscles over the rump and hind legs are usually hard or boardlike. The urile is coffee colored, and, in a great many cases, is as black as blood. The coloring matter of the blood comes through the urine. For treatment the first thing to do is to stop the animal as soon as the symptoms appear. Then draw the urine. Rub the muscles over the affected parts. Give the hourse some form of laxative. Keep the horse on his feet of possible. Give him assistance when he makes an effort to rise, or otherwise the horse loses courage and will remain down until he dies. If treated early most cases of azoturia recover—C. L. Barnes, Colorado. FRESH MEAT CLUBS. During the season of heavy work both the farmer, and his help need good, substantial food, food that will "stick to the ribs." They get tired of cured pork in hot weather and have a craving for fresh beef. To satisfy this craving, which is a real need, the farmer must either plan to go to town at a time when every minute is needed on the farm, or he must butcher his own meat. Few farmers can afford to kill a beef as often as would be necessary to supply fresh meat, and, without ag icehouse, the only alternative is to go to town or form a fresh meat club. The fresh meat club idea has been carried out in this and other countries for a long time and those who are members would not abandon it. The method of operating is as follows. The club is composed of about twenty or more farmers, who organize so as to dispose of at least one beef each week. This is operated in connection with a creamy, or at some convenient place in the community. A beef is slaughtered once a week, usually on Friday evening, and put in a cellar to cool over night. The next morning the carcass is cut and divided into as many portions as there are members of the club. A sliding scale is followed and each person gets a different portion of meat each week until each has received a whole carcass. A price per pound for the different cuts is agreed upon and cash paid for the meat. The proceeds are used for buying the animal and paying for labor spent in dressing and cutting the carcass—Kansas Farmer. POINTS IN BUTTER MAKING. One of the most common complaints is that the butter will not come. This generally happens in the fall in herds where the cows freshen in the spring or early winter. When fall comes, these cows have been milking a long time and are not giving much milk. The character of the milk changes as the lactation period advances. The per cent. of fat and of solids—not fat—increases. This makes the cream more viscous and more inclined to "whip" or to froth up and fill the churn. When this happens and the churn is full of froth cream, about the only thing to do is to add hot water to warm up the fat and to destroy the viscosity of the cream. Such treatment will not make the best of butter, but it is better than churning all day, and finally becoming so discharged that the whole churning is thrown out. Sometimes the butter will not come because the cream is too thin. The fat globules are not crowded closely enough together in the milk serum to cause them to stick together when the cream is agitated. Cream should contain over 20 per cent. of fat in order to make it churn easily, and 30 per cent is better. Sweet cream does not churn as easily as sour cream. Souring tends to reduce viscosity and prevent whipping. Frequently the butter will not come because the cream is too cold. The thermometer should be used and if below 60 degrees Fahrenheit warm up by adding hot water or by taking out some of the cream and warming it up and then returning it to the main lot in the churn. Unless the cream is already too thin, hot water added carefully, will generally be found satisfactory. Cream may become too cold from churning in a cold room, especially if a metal or crockery churn is used. Too thick cream will sometimes stick to the sides of the churn and the latter will not come from lack of concussion. Water or skim milk of the proper temperature may be added to reduce the thickness of the cream. GOOD BREEDING AT LOW COST. The cheapest way for a poor man to obtain the use of a pure bred sire is to induce a dozen of his neighbors to co-operate with him in the purchase of a sire of merit as may be desirable. The Minnesota station believes this a feasible plan for poor or well-to-do farmers. The poor man can hardly afford to own such a sire for his exclusive use. The more fortunate neighbor doesn't want to waste money in exclusive ownership, so the practical way is to own a bull in the neighborhood partnership and all use him until his usefulness is exhausted by reason of relationship to the sows of the community. Then he may be sold to some other equally wise neighborhood. SORE MOUTH IN PIGS. The care and management of the little pigs is detail work, and no man can succeed in getting these little fellows started in the right direction unless he keep close watch of the sows and their pigs during the early spring months. The first trouble is apt to be sore mouths, and to avoid this the pigs should have their large front teeth removed soon after they are farrowed. It is a form of blood poisoning that is usually caused by lacerating each other's mouths in the struggle for their place at the teat. When their mouths are in a foul condition, a drop of diluted carbolic acid will clean out the bad flesh and remove the trouble. Peroxide of hydrogen is also a good remedy. KEEP RATS OUT. I had a bin in my granary that I had been using for corn, and oats. The rats cut the floor so full of holes that it would hardly hold corn cobs. I nailed small pieces of boards over the holes and then mixed up some cement one to three and plastered that floor all over one and one-half inches thick, first wetting, the floor thoroughly. I have had this bin full of grain several times since and it is in perfect condition. The rats have not touched it since. This bin was only four feet wide, and of course for large granary one would have to cut the cement in blocks to keep it from checking.—H. M. Rice, Muscotah, Klan, in Journal of Agriculture. LIBERIA'S CRYING NEED IS EDUCATION SMALL VERY LITTLE MONEY EXPENDED BY GOVERNMENT FOR THE EDUCATION OF LIBERIAN CHILDREN. Monrovin, Liberia.-The state department has been apprised of the early coming of Reid Palge Clark, recently designated by President Taft to serve under the general direction of the government of Liberia as collector general of customs. Both the government officials and the citizens generally are deeply grateful to the American government for keeping before them the program recommended by the late commissioners of the United States, looking to the rehabilitation of Liberia as an independent government. Liberla needs all the help she can secure along the lines recommended by the American commission, but what it needs quite as much is aid from philanthropic sources to help to establish a school system which shall serve to put within the reach of every child in Liberia at least primary and secondary education. A resume of educational conditions in Liberia may be of interest. Largely as a result of the pitiable condition of the Liberian finances, education within the republic is in a deplorable state. Owing to the fact that there has been for years a large floating debt, it is extremely difficult to ascertain with any degree of accuracy what have been the real cash receipts of the government in recent years. A certain part of this debt has been cancelled each year, but a new debt often greater in amount has been created to take the place of that which has been cancelled. Liberian public finances is under the bondage of this debt. A business man with good credit may and does find a profit in keeping in debt when he is constantly increasing his means of payment. But let his ventures become unprofitable, so that the debt grows faster than means of payment, and he soon finds himself engulfed. Finances in Pitable Condition. The case is rarer where a government can maintain a floating debt indefinitely, because its use of its resources is not as a rule profitable in the sense of profit making. In rare cases does government expenditure result in an enhancement of government receipts. In Liberia this floating debt is not contracted, as in the case of governments with well-ordered finances, by means of the issue of short-term obligations, but through advances in goods by the local merchants. It is needless to say that these goods are charged to the government at exorbitant prices, and that as the floating debt increases and the prospect of payment becomes more remote, the prices increase. This may seem to be wandering a long way from education, but the point which seems essential at the outset is a clear comprehension of the fact that debt charges, direct or indirect, absorb a large proportion of the Liberian revenues. Estimating these nominal receipts of the last few years at $350,000, it is quite safe to assume that not more than $250,000 is in reality available either in the form of cash or credit for the general purposes of the government. With a population variously estimated at 1,500,000 to 2,000,000, the problem of administering a government with no more than $250,000 a year is no easy task, however primitive the government may be. The maintenance of a framework of government and the preservation of peace and order make formidable demands upon so meager a pittance. However high among the functions of government we may rate the care of public education, it is clear that it is not so imperious a demand upon the public purse as these fundamental conditions of any body politic. If, then, as in the case of Liberia, the public purse is so shallow that these imperious demands almost drain its contents, it is not to be wondered at that little is done for public education. Only $25,000 Appreciated Annually Only $25,000 Appropriated Annually for Elementary Schools. for Elementary Schools. Theoretically, the Liberians recognize the value of education and the duty of the state to provide it. Practically, the state can offer so little and that little of so poor a quality that the people take only a half-hearted interest in it. The annual appropriation bills carry $25,000 for public elementary schools, and a subsidy of $12,500 for Liberla college. Of this $25,000 for public schools very little is actually available, and very little is spent. As a consequence, the few schools maintained are woefully deficient. Teachers are wholly untrained. Of knowledge they have very little; of anything but the most haphazard and casual methods of imparting it, nothing at all. Liberia college, like the denominational colleges of Liberia, is primarily an elementary school, with a so-called college attachment. In its upper reaches it covers the ground of a high school in a very imperfect and superficial manner. It is somewhat of a relief to turn from the public schools to those conducted by the churches. The Episco- pal institutions at Cape Palmas are commended by those who have seen them. In the College of West Africa, maintained by the Methodists in Morrovia, under Bishop L. H. Scott, the main work is that of the elementary school. Last year there were only three college students. The equipment is primitive, but the teachers are capable. They are all of them from the United States and appear to have had the experience and training which fit them for their work. It seems that similar conditions prevail in the Episcopal institutions. Groundwork of Education is the Common School. I have dwelt upon the pitiful aspect of primary, education in Liberia because I believe that whatever forms education may assume, its groundwork is the common school, and that no professional, technical or industrial education can prosper except upon such a foundation. Moreover, I have avoided the common criticism of Liberian education, that time and money is wasted in Liberia college upon Latin and Greek to the neglect of other things far more important to citizens of Africa. This I do because Liberia college is not a college at all, but merely a large graded school. The time of its professors and the money expended upon it is concerned almost exclusively in the teaching of the common English branches. The foregoing has, I presume, made it clear that any institution which may be created in Liberia for any grade of higher education must, in the present deplorable condition of the elementary schools, maintain its own feeders. It must take the children at the earliest stages and give them such preliminary training as would fit them for any special instruction that may be contemplated. In time, the burden upon the institution of supplying elementary education might be removed if one feature of the institution itself were a normal department. A normal department furnishing trained teachers to the common schools might so enhance the value of the education given in those schools that any institution of higher rank would thereafter not be obliged to rely altogether upon its own preparatory school, and might eventually abandon such a school and devote itself to the special ends for which it was created. Country Overrun by Clergymen. So far as there has been any outlook towards the higher education, there has been a distinct leaning towards the learned professions of the bar and the ministry and thus indirectly for the public service. In Liberla the profession of the ministry, so far from being a bar to public service, seems to be a direct preparation for it. At a recent church service, a portion of the Scriptures was read by the sheriff of the county, prayer was offered by the postmaster general, the sermon was preached by an associate justice of the supreme court, and the benediction was pronounced by a member of the senate. The country is in fact overrun by clergymen, of whom but a small portion devote themselves to their profession. The great and crying need of the country is in technical education and in preparation for a more progressive agricultural and industrial occupation. There is, moreover, among the older generation a growing feeling that they have too long neglected the industrial opportunities of the country, and their speakers dwell with insistence upon the need of better farming and the need of productive occupation. It is encouraging that one of the fostest exponents of this doctrine, D. E. Howard, now secretary of the treasury, is the president-elect, so that we can count upon the influence of the future administration being directed as far as it can towards promoting the economic and industrial development of the country. The establishment at this time of an institution in Liberia, based on the lines of the Tuskegee Institute, located in Alahama, U. S. A., would be one of the greatest blessings that could be conferred upon this country. Such an institution should have two quite distinct aims or departments. The first should be a normal department, for the need of which the foregoing statements offer conclusive demonstration. This normal department is a necessary adjunct to the main purpose of such an establishment, in order that in time the general system of public education may be improved and the institution relieved of the necessity of giving elementary instruction and therefore putting it in a position to do a larger work along industrial lines. About Industrial Education. With regard to industrial education, in a country like Liberia, which is almost wholly agricultural, it is a matter of course that any industrial education should be based largely upon agriculture. It should, however, be pointed out that there are certain distinctions between agriculture in the tropics and agriculture in temperate climates, which must be brought into the reckoning of any plan for the establishment of any agricultural school in the tropics. In temperate climates, the object of agricultural education is, in large measure, to educate workers. In the tropics the aim must be to educate overseers. Neither the white man nor the negro who has been transplanted from the United States in Africa can endure the hard physical labor which is necessary in agricultural pursuits in this climate. He must be able, however, to direct the labor force, which consists of the aborigines. It seems not improbable that this difference in the character of the work to be performed may indicate some differences in the training which is given. It is also clear that with agriculture should be associated instruction in those handicrafts for which there is the greatest need in that country. These are, primarily everything connected with the construction of dwellings, both as to carpentry and as to masonry. In the towns a large part of the buildings are constructed of brick, stone or cement, and this form of construction is that which is best adapted to the tropics. The brick used is mostly imported, though at the present time a great deal is derived from older buildings which have fallen into decay and which have broken up. Brick-making would also be a profitable industry. Special attention should be given to all kinds of cement work for the purposes of construction of houses, clisters and all kinds of drainage. Sanitary arrangements do not exist in the country and in the city are woefully primitive. A proper application of cement construction to these necessities would not only contribute to the health of the community, but would be valuable in establishing higher standards of decency and living. The center of the Americo-Liberian number of trained mechanics. The application of the gasoline motor to navigation of the St. Paul's river and in machine shops is increasing, and for the present it would seem that elementary knowledge of the principles and applications of mechanics, and the care of machinery might well be made a subject of instruction. There has so far been little conscious effort to utilize native products to the best advantages. The teachers of an agricultural school could tender an enormous service to the country by the study of its natural resources, by the cultivation by way of experiment and demonstration of the crops of the country, such as the coffee plant and possibly the sugar cane, and by introducing improved methods for the collection, preservation and shipment of such natural products as palm oil and kernels, plassava fiber and rubber. If such an institution were designed for both sexes, the industrial training of the girls would naturally follow the suture lines as have been developed by the educational experts of the United States. The center of the America-Liberian population is Monrovia, and such a school as is needed should be located in or near this place. There is plenty of good agricultural land easily accessible to Monrovia, while the proximity to the town would in the first instance be an important factor in reducing the cost of the necessary supplies which, until the school is well established, must be largely purchased. New Era Dawning for Republic. No gift of the American people to the republic of Liberia could be more valuable for development of the country than such an institution. As an example of a wholly disinterested concern in the welfare of the republic, the gift would be most highly-appreciated. The people of Liberia believe that a new era is dawning. They have placed themselves under the guidance of the United States of America, and they are looking forward to the advent of their advisers as the beginning of changed conditions. While these changes encounter the natural inertia which opposes any new movement, the present and future administrations of the country are in hearty accord with these changes. No more fitting time than the present could be imagined in which to establish such a school, which would be regarded by the Liberian people as conclusive evidence that the interest the American government has taken in their welfare is as unselfish as those who have been concerned in this policy believe. Of course, the Europeans in Liberia cannot understand that the United States has no ulterior motive, and that it is actuated solely by considerations of sympathy and friendly feeling. Such an educational institution as has been discussed would in a large measure counteract this influence of the foreigners now located in the country. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TAKES PRIVATE CAR EVADES TEXAS JIM CROW LAW BY CHARTERING A PULLMAN SLEEPER. Denlson, Tex.—When Dr. Booker T. Washington was informed by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway that he must either ride in the compartment reserved for negroes or hire a special car to transport him from Austin to Temple, Doctor Washington demurred. But the Texas Jim Crow law is firmly enforced and the railroad officials could not afford to be accommodating. Doctor Washington later notified the railroad passenger agent that he wanted a sleeper anyhow and chartered a special Pullman for the trip, which took place September 30. The distance from Austin to Temple is about 200 miles. LEAVES SMALL FORTUNE. New York City.—Hannah Mills, eighty, years old, a colored widow woman without family, who lived in New York for more than fifty years, died a few days ago, leaving the savings of a lifetime which will go to her next of kin, if any can be found. Where Hannah Mills was born or her maiden name, unfortunately, is not known, but some years ago she spoke to a friend about a sister who lived up state having died. It is thought that this sister may have left children who would be Hannah Mills' heirs. It will be agreeable news to the craft to know that since the last Grand Lodge Communication many new lodges have been set up and thus the brotherhood has been increased. These lodges are located in the prosperous sections of the state. There should be lodges in other growing localities and those who are interested in the growth of the order should assist in this work of increase. With all hotel conveniences, Hot or cold baths.

Our Grand Master is so kind hearted until he will hardly refuse any reasonable requests from the lodges, especially the faithful ones, but really he should hereafter refuse the granting of dispensations to Lodges with large membership and are in otherwise good condition. It has been the rule that during the life of a dispensation, a number of men are received in the lodge that are undesirable and give trouble in one way or the other. This is a fact that can not be disputed. Masonry should first appeal to a man's desire for the order, if this be so, then he will have no objection-in paying the full amount to join. We are not against granting dispensations to assist the poor Lodges, but let the large Lodges stand in their dignity. 321 BROUGHTON STREET, EAST. Next Door to Red Cross Pharmacy.

That does nothing more than confer in the profane new rights and obligations, whilst at the same time it points out to him the cquare he must follow to acquire a special intellectuality, which Masons, worthy of the name, know as and denominate the Masonic Spirit. This is acquired slowly by frequenting Lodges, and passing successively (Masonic infancy), Fellow craft (adolescence), and Master Mason (full Masonic age), which are capable of constituting the true Mason. Some men grasp with grater rapidity than others who are never able to entirely understand it, and these, however great their intelligence, their knowledge, and their personal importance, never become good Masons. The Masonic Spirit is formed of the profound sentiment of affection and fraternal solidarity which should blind all Masons; despisal of the prejudices which dominates the majority of men; of love for our Order; respect for our traditions, which constitutes its strength; comprehension of the symbols adopted, which represent the highest teachings of philosophy and sound morality.
