Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVII Would Give Negro Education Chance MAKE BETTER CITIZENS Judge Adams Deplores Lack of School Facilities Anept the question of faciliaties for educating the colored youths, touched upon in Superintendent Ashmore's report, which was submitted to the Board of Education Monday, Judge Samuel B. Adams, president of the board, was yesterday asked to give his views on the subject. I am and always have been in fact of giving the Negro children better advantages of education that we have given them," said Judge Adams. "Because of our lack of means the board of Education has not been able to do as much for them as the members of the board would desire to do. "I appreciate the fact that relatively speaking much less has been done for the Negroes than for the white children. We are all very much pleased by the purchase of the property on Anderson street which has heretofore been used for educational purposes. This purchase will enable the Board of Education to enlarge its usefulness to the colored children. "I should be very glad, and am sure the members of the board would be glad to see all of the Negro children who desire a chance for obtaining an education in the public schools given that chance. I recognize that the best education for them is that which will fit them for life's duties and work, and therefore that the vocational features should be stressed as far as practicable. "I believe, however, in the wisdom of giving all of the Negro children a thorough elementary education. I am sure this would improve them, as it improves the children of the other race. The statistics show that the percentage of Negroes who have had educational advantages who commit crime is very much smaller than the percentage of ignorant and uneducated Negroes who violate the law. I do not recall exactly the difference, but it is great and serves to demonstrate the good of educating the Negroes on proper lines, not to speak of the higher obligation upon the controlling and dominant race. I do not, of course, regard the education of any race as a panacea. In order to do real good it must be upon the right lines which look to preparation for work and duties of life and the development of the moral nature. Unless a child is improved on moral and ethical lines it is better that, he remain ignorant no matter what his race may be. - Morning News.

Church, of Memphis, Died After Lingering Illness—Deceased was 74 Years Old—Owned Large Amount of Valuable Real Estate. Memphis, Teen., Sept. 2—Robert R. Church, Sr., one of the wealthiest citizens in Memphis and considered the wealthiest Negro in the South, died Thursday, August 29, at his late residence, 384 Launderdale street. Funeral services were held Sunday from the late residence, Father R. T. Demby officiating. The pallbearers were Dr. E. W. Irving, Dr. A. L. Thompson, Dr. W. J. Yerby, the Revs. T. O. Fuller and J. C. Martin, Hon J. T. Settle, Cash Mosby, J. W. Sanford and C. R. Bowles. The remains were interred in Elmwood Cemetery. The deceased, who was 74 years old, had been ill eighteen months. He retired from business last October and was succeeded by Robert R. Church, Jr. 3 The Memphis Commercial Appeal gives the following account of Mr. Church's career: "The singular circumstance of a Negro, born a slave, rising from cabin boy on a Mississippi River steamboat to the mastery of a fortune estimated at a million dollars made him a conspicuous character, and the news of his death was received all over the city with expressions of interest and surprise. BEGAN LIEE A SLAVE. "Church's life reads like a page torn from fiction. He came to Memphis years ago. Thrift and industry uncommonly marked, coupled with a keen insight and keen business ability, made him quickly recognized as a man of uncommon business ability. His word was as good as his bond. "He came to Memphis from Holly Springs, Miss. For a while he worked around the livery stables here and later he went into the saloon business. Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real estate. One purchase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city, and he knew that some day his property would be valuable. He rarely if ever sold. Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 300 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards." "According to one in authority, his monthly income from his rentals amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property. Though no unusual deeds of charity or munificence are credited to him, yet it is known that he was a charitable man. He lived simply, though he could have easily outshone many a man in the ostentatious display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a pose that marked him as a man of extraordinary common sense. The late John Overton, John Gaston and the late Colonel Josiah Patterson were his friends. Sid M. Neely was his closest adviser. The deceased is survived by a widow, Mrs. Annie Church, two sons—Thomas A. Church, who holds a clerkship with the-New York City government, and Robert R. Church, Jr., who is now president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company of this city; Miss Arnette and Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell of Washington, D. C. F. B. B. Church Dots F. B. B. Church Dots Sunday was apparently a day of funerals' at our church, Rev. Wright conducted three at the church and one at a home. He read for the lesson at night 105 Pts. His text was from Zach. 13:4. Though having had a very tedious day, his sermon was as forcible and spirited as words and useful lessons could make it. The honored guest of the church, the Young Men and Ladies' Social Circle, had a very interesting history read by the secretary. Rev. Wright gave them a hearty welcome. At the close of the sermon the 'choir rendered a beautiful selection. The society contributed very liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. On Monday night Rev. Pela Penick entertained very interestingly a large crowd. Rev. Wright left on Tuesday for a month's vacation and to attend the National convention in Texas. Attend our services at any time, they are always beneficial. Large Delegation to B. M. C. From All Parts of Country Atlanta Affording Delegates a Royal Time-Savannah's Representation Among Largest.

J. Davis. The Savannah delegation which left last Sunday morning on a special train is reported to be among the largest from any city outside of Atlanta. Jack Johnson's Wife Commits Suicide. On Tuesday night, the wife of Jack Johnson World's, heavy weight puglistic champion, committed suicide at her home in Chicago, Ill. It has been said that Mrs. Johnson, who was a white woman, had several times previous to last Tuesday night attempted to take her life but was thwarted in each attempt by her husband. On last Tuesday night, however she called her two maids to her room and after kneeling in prayer with them for a short while dismissed them. Hardly had they left the room when they heard a shot and rushing in, found the woman on the floor. The wound proved to be fatal and she died the next morning. It has been intimated that the woman took her life because she had married a Negro and was thereby snubbed by all of her friends. The champion was very deeply affected by his wife's death and stated that he had done all in his power to make her happy. Charleston Glee Club at Beth- Eden Tomorrow.

Zion Baptist Church BUYS VALUABLE PROPERTY To Build Beautiful Structure on Newly Acquired Site on West Broad and Anderson Streets, Old Site Too Crowded One of the most interesting of real estate deals of recent months which concerned the Negroes of the city was that of last week when Mount Zion Baptist church, West Broad and Minis streets, purchased the northeast corner of West Broad and Anderson streets. The newly acquired property of Mount Zion church consists of two one story stores and two small houses. It has a frontage on West Broad street of about ninety feet and extends' on Anderson about seventy feet. It is the plan of Mount Zion to erect a beautiful brick church edifice on the corner, work to begin in about ninety days, while the two one story houses on the northern extremity of the newly acquired property will either be converted into stores or a parsonage. This move by Mount Zion church was quite a surprise to the friends of the church who, by seeing plans of a brick structure which was to be built on the spot of the old church had expected that work would begin soon. However, the church authorities feeling that the old site was too crowded and that a new structure there would not show up well, together with the fact that the block is rapidly being given over to business, decided that a more appropriate site should be secured before building a brick edifice and thus the West Broad and Anderson street property was purchased. The exact purchase price of the new site has not been given out but it is understood that Mr. G. H. Bowen, who put through the deal, succeeded in getting the property for a very reasonable sum. Large Crowd Hears Lecture on Africa. The lecture on Africa by Rev. Pela Pennick which was given at the First Bryan Baptist Church on last Monday night was a success in every respect and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience which was out. The lecture was full of life and animation, and the speaker interspered some very beautiful illustrations throughout his lecture. Of particular interest were the curios shown and also the native garments. The lecture proved equally interesting to the large number of Negroes presents, and also the whites who availed themselves of the opportunity to learn something more of the Dark Continent. The contribution given to the speaker for the work he is trying to establish was very liberal. Rev. Penick lectures Monday night, the 16th, at St. John Baptist Church, Hartridge Street. Young Adelphia Installation The Young Adelphia Aid and Social Club hold their annual installation of officers at the Duffy street hall on Thursday evening, August 26th.

BEGAN LIKE A SLAVE. |. “Church's life reads like a page torn from fiction. He came to Memphis years ago. Thrift and industry uncommonly marked, coupled witha keen’ insight and keen business ability, made him quickly recognized as'a man of un- common business ability. His word was as good as his bond. “*Hecame to Memphis from Hol- ly Springs, Miss. Fora while he worked around the livery stables here and later he went into the sa- loon business. Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real eatate. One pur- chase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city, and he knew that some day his property would be valuable. He rarely if ever sold, Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 300 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. MONTHLY INCOME oF $6,000. “According to one in authority, his monthly income from his rent- als amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres ‘on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church’s Park on Beale avenve is also his property, “Though no unusual deeds of charity or munificence are credited tohim, yet it is known that he wasa charitable man. He lived simply, thonsth he could have éasi- ly outshone many a man in the os- tentations display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a poise that marked hini as a. man of extraoidinary common sense. The jate Jobn Overton, John Gaston und the late Colonel dJosinh Patterson were his friends. Sid M. Neely was his closest ad-, viser. - The deceased is survived by a widow, Mrs. Annie Church, tivo sons—Lhoinas A. Church, who holds a clerkship+with the New York City government, and robert R.

Zion Baptist Church BUYS VALUABLE PROPERTY To Build Beautiful Structure on Newly Acquired Site on West Broad and Anderson Streets, Old Site Too Crowded One of-the most interesting of real estate deals of recent months which concerned the Negroes. of the city was that of last week when Mount Zion Baptist church, West Broad and Minis streets, purchased the northeast corner of West Broad and Anderson streets. ‘The newly acquired property of Mount Zion church cousists of two one story stores and two small houses. It hasa frontage on West Broad street of about nintey feet and extends on Anderson about seventy feet. It is the pian of Mount Zion to erect a beautiful brick church edi- fice on the corner, work to begin in about ninety days, while the two one story houses on the north- ern extremity of the néwly acquir- ed property will either be convert- ed into stores or a parsonage. » This move by Mount Zion church was quite a surprise to the friends of the church who, by seeing plans of a brick stracture which was to be built on the spot of’ the old church had expected that work would begin soon. However, the church authorities feeling that the uld site was too crowded and that a new structure there would not show up well, to- gather with the fact that the block is rapidly being given over to busi- ness, decided that a more appro- priate site should be secured be- fore building a brick edifice and thus the West Broad and Anderson street property-was purchased. The exact purchase price of the new site has not been given out but it is understood that Mr. G. H. Bowen, who put through the deal, succeeded in getting the property for 2 very reasonable sum.

BRAXMAR’S CLUE PROVED RIGHT SNE How Cupid Figured in Clearing Up furder Mystery. ee ee eee ae eee ‘SNe See mreReee ee, ener Te and more sensible of some one weep- ing in an agony of distress. ‘The sound came from the berth above him, and he pushed his bell for the por- ter, : “George,” he called, as an “ebon face was thrust through the curtains, “is there a woman’ in the upper berth?” “Yes, sir," shouted the porter. “She done got on at Albany.” “She's in trouble.” he announced. “Can't you hear her crying?” ‘The porter listened inteutly, then shook his head, “I don’t bear nuthiu'," he reported. “I do," persisted Braxman, “See it she weeds anything.” - He sank back against the pillow, and presently heard the porter climbing the stepladder. Thea the black head was thrust between his ourtains again and the man shouted: “She says she’s sorry, but she didn't think anyohe could hear her in this noise, dnd she just had to ery." “Is there anything she needs?" he called back. “She says there ain't nuthin’ we kin do.” The black hoad disappeared and Braxmar settled himself again.

It was a random guess, but a probable one. 1 am retained by the Arntons.” She Sank back in her place. “In that case,” she said, “I don't suppose I ougtit to talk to you. You are en- gaged to fasten the crime on John.” “Quite the contrary.” he — said, moving into the seat beside her. “I sm engaged to find the murderer of Caspian Arnton, not to say that this man is guilty.” “But circumstantial evidence is so strong,” she said hopeless. “I don't see what hope there is.” “Suppose you tell me what you know,” be pleaded. “It may help bring the guilty man to justice.” There was something in Braxmar's mannér that inspired confidence, and simply, directly, she told him what she knew. [rom tbe press report he hid only learned that John Findlay had shot and killed Caspian Arnton as the result of a feud. It was the girl who supplied the motive. _ They had all lived in the little town of Remsen, in the northern part of Ohio. Helen Findlay had been en- gaged to Arnton, but had broken the engagement on account of certain stories that had come to her knowl edge. Arntdn had let it be inferred that he had broken the engagement for reasons he did not care to dl- vulge. The Arntons were wealthy, ang leaders of the town's society and th people had elected to believe Arn- ton, Helen had gone to visit relatives in Albany until the talk died down, but her brother had stayed on because he could not afford to give up bis position with the railroad, ‘There had been several encounters between the two men, and when Arn- ton had been found dead almost In the shadow of his home, Findlay had been accused. A search of his lodg- ings discovered a pair of shoes stain- ed with the red earth found ih that part of the street and in his cash draw- er at the station was found a revol ver with one chamber discharged. The bullet found in Arnton’s spine was of that I worked tong my own, lines 0: not at all.” 2 “And you have given up the case?" sbe cried despairingly. “Not at all. I have retained myself to prove the Arntons the fools that they are. I um working for Ham Graxmar now—and for justice.” Braxmar's words brought comfort, and comfort was sadly needed, for as the days progressed the web seemed to draw more tightly around her brother. ‘The Arntons arranged with a Chicago detective agency to send half a dozen men to work on the case. Braxmar had dropped out of sight after that first day. He ‘kad warned Helen that he would noe sian in town, but that she need not feel any uneasiness on that account. Once or twice a letter, mailed in the railway post, assured her of prog- ress, and she took heart of grace, though the detectives were building up a mass of evidence that seemed destined to crush Findlay beneath its weight, : Finally the case was practically concluded, and the Arntons were in- sisting upon an immediate trial, but to this Mindlay’s lawyer would not consent. When Tomlin suddenly disap- peared without a word to anyone the last vestige of hope seemed to go. Then, one evening, the operator at the postofice telegraph station let out a whoop that startled the little com- pany waiting for the distribution of the night mail. “They've caught the man who killed Cas Arnton,” he shouted. “This is a telegram to his sister. Listen: ‘Am ‘coming east with “Tomlin and the slayer of Caspian Arnton.’ It's sign- ed, by that fellow from New York who Was here the day after the murder.” “It's a bluff," declared one of the local solons. “They've got Cas Arn- tpn's killer locked up in the jail now."t “It was the second day following that Iraximar and Tomlin stepped from the train and were driven to’ the hotel. There were just the two of them, and Remsen thrilled with the report that it was Tomlin who had done the murder. later on, after the prosecuting of- ficers had left the conference, it be- came known that the person who had hred the shot had been killed in the wreck which had delayed the others, but had made a deposition that en- tirely exonerated Findlay, ‘ ‘It is a very simple matter,” ex plained Braxmar, when he and Helen were alone. “There was just one clue that was not being worked on.

Mrs. West displayed such splendid genius that many of her friends and acquaintances believe that even with the knowledge of English history she has shé could not have revived those days of tilts and jousts with such ac- curacy as she has shown. The story 1s most mysterious be- cause Mrs. West will neither deny nor confirm it This much, however. is known. She spent months wandering over every inch of-the ground with its ivy-grown cottages and gay gardens that was beloved by the great Eng- lish poet; she spent hours visiting the homes in- which he once lived and then took her books and read, and meditated and talked Shakspearc with everybody who loves the great English dramatist and his works It is said that when her work was completed and she went back to London prior to the pageant, Marie Cerelli said to her: “It will be a wonderful success, Tt must be, for Shakspeare will be with you at the pageant and will di- rect the show. If you follow his in- struction you will be well rewarded, for he will not leave fou after the pageant Is over, He is with many great writers, inspiring them to do thelr best, and he will remain with you If it were not for his great Re- nius and that of others who have gone to the great unknown there would be few writers in the world today , It is Shakspeare and the lesser ligits who have inspired me and others to do their best.” Since everybody is congratulating Mrs. West on her splendid success, she cannot forget the words that Ma- rie Corelli spoke to her. She is be- ginning to wonder if there is some half truth in these words, and that she may yet be aided to do great works with her pen.

The black hoad disappeared and Braxmar settled himselt again. Over- head the noise was stilled, save now and then when a little balf-cboked moan seemed to fight.through the girl's repression. ¢ Dut Uraxman could sleep teanicg against a post, and soon he dropped off again. He was one of the first up in the morning, and as the sleeper was the last car on the train he went out on the rear platform for a smoke in the bracing air. The car had been made up and had resumed its daytime aspect when he returned. The other half of his sec- tion was occupied by a slendee, girl- ish figure. She Started as be dropped into the seat opposite. « “are you the gentleman whom I dis- turbed last night?” she asked, lean- tog forward, ri “You didn’t disturb me“ he correct- ed. “Icheard you crying, and thought perhaps you need help.

You might have been jin need of help.” “I am,” she said, with a wan little smile, “but not such as one's fellow passengers can give. I am going to my brother, who is accused of murder. I heard of it just in time to catch this train.” “John Findlay?" he asked. The girl started. “How did you know?" she gasped. “I am a detective,” he explained. “They wired me to come on. It was a random guess, but a probable one. 1 am retained by the Arntons.” She sank back in her place. “In that case,” she said, “I don't suppose I ougtit to talk to you. You are en- gaged to fasten the crime on Jobn.” “Quite the contrary,” be said, moving into the seat beside her. “I am engaged to find the murderer of Caspian Arnton, not to say that this man {is guilty." “ “But circumstantial evidence 1s 80 strong,” she said hopelessly. “I Yon't sge what hope there is.” “Suppose you tell me what you know,” he pleaded. “It may help bring the guilty man to justice.” There was something? in Braxmar's manner that inspired confidence, and simply, directly, she told him what she knew. From the press report he had only learned that Jobn Findlay had shot and killed Caspian Arnton as the result of a feud. It was the girl who supplied the motive. ‘They had all lived in the little ‘town of Remsen, in the northern part of Obio. Helen Findlay had been en- gaged to Arnton, but had broken the engagement on accgunt of certain stories that had come to her knowl edge. Arnton had let it be inferred that he bad broken the engagement for reasons he did not care to di- vulge. The Arntons were wealthy, and leaders of the town's society and the people had elected to believe Arn- ton. Helen had gone to visit relatives in Albany until the talk died down, but her brother had stayed on because he could not afford’to give up his position with the rallroad, ‘There had been several encounters between the two men, and when Arn- tom had been found dead almost In the shadow &t his home, Findlay had been accused.

I am working for Ham Braxmar now—and for justice.” Braxmar’s words brought comfort, and comfort was sadly needed, for as the days progressed the web seemed to draw more tightly around her brother. The Arntons arranged with a Chicago detective agency to send half a dozen men to work on the case, Braxmar had dropped out of sight after that first day. He had warned Helen that he would not remain in town, but that she néed not feel any Uneasiness on that account _ Once or twice a letter, mailed in the railway post, assured her of prog- ress, and she took heart of grace, though the detectives were building up a mazs of evidence that seemed destined to crush Findlay beneath Its weight, Finally the case was practically concluded, and the Arntons were {n- sfsting upon an immediate trial, but to this Pindlay’s lawyer would not consent. When Tomlin suddenly disap- peared without a word to anyone the last vestige of hope seemed to g0. Then, one evening, the operator at the postofiice telegraph station let out a whoop that startled the little com- pany waiting for the distribution of the night mail, “They've caught the man who killed Cas Arnton,” he shouted. “This is a telegram to his sister. Listen: ‘Am coming* east with Tomlin and the slayer of Caspian Arnton.’ It’s sign- ed by that fellow from New York who was bere the day after the murder.” vIvs a bluff,” declared one of the Jocal solons. “They've got Cas Arn- ton's killer locked up in the jail now.” “It was the second day following that Bratmar and Tomlin stepped from the train and were driven to the hotel. ‘There were just the two of them, and Remsen thrilled with the report that it was Tomlin who had Yone the murder. Later on, after the prosecuting of- ficers had left the conference, It be- came known that the person who had fired the shot had been killed in the wreck which had delayed the others, but had made a deposition that en- tirely exonerated Findlay, : “It is a very simple matter,” ex- plained Hraxmar, when he and Helen were alone. “There was just one clue that was not being worked on. That was the man who was trying to enter the box car. It was a train of empties being rushed west. He could have no incentive to force the door except that he wanted to get away quickly and unobtrusively.” “But they all thought Tomlin's story was an untruth,” she Said. “That was why they did not follow it up.” “And why I did. It’s always the ob- scure clue that pays best. I found that many of the railroad men had guns like your brother. The hard- ware store sold about three dozen. Now Arnton had a bullet in his spine. No one seemed to see another bullet ju a nearby tree. If it was your brother's shot, how was it that there was but one chamber discharged when two shots had been fired?” | “Now, your brother was not the only one Who had a reason to take Arn- ton’s life, as you told me on the train, there was that affair of the Gillis girl.

If-Shakspeare’s spirit did not influ- ence Mrs. West, what accounts for her sudden Inspiration to stage the pic- turesque scenes of Elizabethan Eng- land at the cost of hundreds of thon- sands of dollars. Giving up her social duties and working nine Hours each day and many extra nights organizing the big show on speculation. Superintending the construction of the buildings of that period.

Leaving Mayfair and the brilliant ‘court of St. James after a life of idle luxury and plunging into hard labor. And, above all, showing a genius in the work which is sald by experts to be worthy of the great poet himself. Mrs. West displayed such splendid renius that many of her friends and acquaintances believe that even with the knowledge of English history she has she could not have revived those days of tilts and jousts with such ac- euraey as she has shown. The story is most mysterious be cause Mrs, \Vest will neither deny hor confirm it" ‘This much, however. is known: She spent months wandering over every inch of the ground with\its ivy-grown cottages and gay gardens that was beloved by the great Eng- Mish poet; she spent hours Visiting the homes in- which he once lived and then took her books and read, and meditated and talked Shakspeare with everybody who loves the great English dramatist and his works. It is sald that when her work was completed and she went back to London prior to the’ pageant, Marie Cerelli said to her: “It will he a wonderful success. Tt must be; for Shakspeare will be with you at the pageant and will di- rect the show. If you follow his in- struction you will be welr rewarded, for he will not leave you after the pageant ts over. He is with many great writers, Inspiring them to do their best, and he will remain with you. If it were not for his great ge- nius and that of others who have gone to the great unknown there would be few writers in the world today., It is Shakspeare and the lesser lights who have inspired me and others to do their best.” * Since everybody is congratulating Mrs. West on her splendid success, she cannot forget the words that Ma- tle Corelli spoke to her. She is be- ginning to wonder if there is some half truth in these words, and that she may yet be aided to do great works with her pen.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One of the most interesting of the delegations that attended the International Conference on the Negro at Tuskegee Institute, April last, was that from the Barbados, West Indies, consisting of Washington Harper, A. Rawle Parkinson, and E. Elliott Durant. On their return to the Barbados, at a large and enthusiastic public meeting, they submitted a comprehensive report of their trip to Tuskegee Institute. The report was taken up mainly with a description of the work of the departments of the institution. All the Barbados papers gave extended notice concerning the meeting and the report of the delegation. The following account is taken from the Barbados Standard, Bridgetown. A large and enthusiastic public meeting was held at the Carnegie Hall to receive the report of the delegates who represented this island at the recent conference at Tuskegee. The chair was filled by Mr. D. A. Wiles, and among other prominent persons present were Sir Frederick Clarke, K. C. M. G, and Lady Clarke, who both took much interest in the proceedings. After the report containing valuable information collected by the delegates in connection with industrial education during their visit to America had been read and received with manifest appreciation, several resolutions were moved, and some very interesting addresses given. The objects of the resolutions were (1) to accord a hearty welcome to the delegates on their return to the island—moved by Mr. H. F. Taitt, seconded by Mr. Ormond Murray; (2) to express the hope that the general community would benefit by the information brought back by the delegates—moved by Mr. W. Brandford, seconded by Mr. W. S. Marston; (3) to express confidence in the government and legislature of this island that they would afford means of industrial education to the people—moved by Mr. A. W. Ford, (4) to express the gratitude of the general community to Dr Booker T. Washington and his staff for their kindness in generously supplying information and otherwise assisting the Barbados delegates to achieve success in their mission to Tuskegee, also suggesting that a visit of Dr. Washington and his wife to these shores would be viewed with appreciation, and pledging the necessary funds by popular subscription for their entertainment—moved by Mr. C. P. Clarke, solicitor general, and seconded by Mr. C. L. Elder; (5) to thank the various principals and their assistants at Tuskegee, and also Dr. S. Jones and other citizens of New York and Brooklyn, for the valuable help given by them which enabled the delegates to carry out their task—moved by Mr V. B C Hart, seconded by Mr Estwick; (6) to express the thanks of the meeting to all those persons who generously subscribed the requisite funds to send the delegates to Tuskegee—moved by Mr. H. W. Lofty, M. C. P., seconded by Rev. J. H. Nichols, inspector of schools; and (7) to propose that a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the government, assuring them at the same time of the willingness of the delegates to disseminate among the children attending the public schools the information and knowledge gained during their visit to America—moved by Mr J. S. Maughan, seconded by Mr. Brandford. These resolutions were all unanimously adopted. At the conclusion an exceedingly interesting address was given by Mr. Washington Harper, one of the delegates on their visit to Tuskegee. The sixteenth annual Hampton negro conference dealt with the following vital subjects. Work of Industrial Supervisors in Virginia; Progress in Rural Schools; Negroes and the Census of 1910. White and Colored Death Rates. Negro Population and Illiteracy; Negroes in Virginia; Organization Work among Virginia Negroes; Management of Boarding Departments; Raising Money for Schools; Cultivation of Corn; Public Health; Minister and Community; Recreation and Amusement; Movement of Negroes to the Cities. There are now seventeen colored teachers at work in eighteen counties of Virginia under the direction of Hampton institute, trying to secure the more complete cooperation of parents, ministers, and teachers in improving school life. These workers are carrying on school demonstration work, which is giving new life and fresh hope to many neglected country districts.

Nice sort of game that, taking the wee ones with you when shop and scolding them when they grow either tired or interested. The colored citizens of Nashville, Tenn., have a park for their exclusive use which is said to be the first of its kind in the United States. It is called Hadley park and was formally dedicated by the board of park commissioners several days ago. Among those present were Mayor Hillary E. Howse and Major McWhirter, chairman of the board of park commissioners. Dr. R. F. Beeyd made the speech of acceptance on behalf of the negro citizens. Benjamin F. Carr presided. Major Howse paid a high tribute to the park commissioners, and during his address was interrupted on several occasions by the applause of the negro citizens. "I'll declare," he exclaimed, "no city in the country has the colored population that Nashville has. There is a great future for us here, and it makes no difference. In the great struggle now impending, who is elected president of the country, we people here in this section, black and white allie, will go on building up this section, our state and the nation. White people and black people here in the south will work side by side. We cannot get along without you, and you cannot get along without us. "As chief executive of the city of Nashville, I take great pleasure in extending to you, my colored fellow citizens, this park, the only one of its kind in the United States dedicated to the colored people." In his address Major M'Whirter said: "I know of no city that has shown greater consideration for your race in the matter of parks than ours in securing this valuable property, situated as it is, immediately between and approximate to two of the most prominent negro schools in our Southland. Much will depend on your behavior while visiting the park and with that as the standard you will be judged. It is not difficult to conduct yourselves in such a way as to command respect—and I wish a larger number of young negroes were here to hear this—but it is quite easy for some to bring derision on thousands, and while doing this, they have very little consideration for those who have a larger degree of self-respect." In his speech of acceptance Dr. Boyd said in part: "Our grateful thanks go out to Minor Howse for the broad and liberal spirit which he has manifested in co-operating with you in securing this site for our park. We know something of the opposition you have met and overcome. We are thankful to the press of the city and the hundreds of friends who have indorsed the movement. " "We who are born and reared in the Southland know that the best class of white citizens are our friends, and we are going to live here in this civilization with prayer and hope. We were born here, and we will live and die here. "We want to assure you and reassure you of the gratitude of my race. We are interested in every movement for the betterment of Nashville, for the whole people of Nashville. You can rely upon us to make Hadley park all that it should be as a moral force in the life of our people. You may rest assured that our people will support you in carrying out any regulations you may adopt for the management of this park to the end that it will be a safe place for our boys and girls." When fate powls at our ideals she usually makes a ten-strike. Joe Jeanette's pronunciamento that he would make Jack Johnson fight him or seek his seclusion afforded by retirement may bring the heavy-weight champion of the world to New York to defend his title in a bout there. Jeanette's sincerity in his defi has impressed Billy Gibson, manager of the Garden A. C., and the popular fifth impresario has opened negotiations with the dusky title holder to appear at the Garden. Gibson intends to adhere to the decision of the state athletic commission to bar Johnson from fighting a white man in New York, and for that reason Billy has secured Jeanette's name to articles calling for a match with Johnson. The entire affair is now up to the champion. Shoppers are in a class to themselves, entirely distinct from buyers. Strange that we are willing to forgive people for changing their opinions only when they do so to espouse our views. There is some endurance like a dam—the more it holds back the greater will be the destruction when it gives way. It usually happens that the faults you see in another are on a par with the faults that others see in you. A woman can rarely "makeup" without "changing her countenance." Unselfishness is but a name unless he who claims it as a virtue possesses self-control. FACTS FEATURES and FANCIES for WOMEN PARIS.—That the new materials be soft and pliable is the first consideration of the French de- signers, in these days of the pannier and other voluminous draperies, for the new gown, no matter how pleated and draped, must hang closely to the figure in graceful classical lines, and only a material that is easily draped will do this to the designers' satisfaction. Thus velvet of soft texture will be one of the most used materials, though to carry out the vogue for ribbed fabrics it will be for the most part of the uncut variety. Plushes, too, are another novelty for fall, and the long, thick pile is mounted on a foundation which is almost as light as chiffon. In street suits many Rayadere weaves will be used as well as diagonals and Bedford cords, these last in plain shades and artistic melanges. In fact, rough effects are the order of the day, and sponge weaves are confidently introduced at Paris in solid colors, in mixtures and in surface printings as the most advanced fashionable materials. Covert cloth, another favorite, which is pronounced "cover" by those who know, is the correct thing for the long wrap, as well as the heavy mannish walking suit. Wool velours are shown in infinite variety, including tapestry weaves in organ pipe effects, while chinchillas are seen in weaves that closely imitate dyed sheep skin. The influence of the velvet vogue is further shown in the velvet finish given to many wool fabrics. The evening gown will show distinctly that this is a revival of the directoire period, for Paris is displaying rich brocades and woven metals. These latter have looped and THE LADY IN A WIDE HAT twisted threads on the surface in conformity with the tendency toward raised weaves. Satin charmeuse is expected to be the most popular of all silk materials during the winter. Next will come crepes and crepe charmeuse, while crepe de chene, always a safe fabric, is receiving renewed interest, due to the present vogue of draperies for which purpose it is especially adapted. With satins and satin finished, crepes dominating it follows that messalines are everywhere in evidence, while the vogue for clinging draperies assures a place for cliffons, silk volles, marquisettes and mousseline de sole, which will be combined with satins. Gold and silver tinseled novelties will be used in connection with satins and silk tissues, while pompadour printings will be popular for combination purposes. Elaborate Trimming. Aside from the use of different materials much trimming is being used by Paris. Laces are noticeably lighter in character, the maline and shadow types are the leading favorites. These laces are of the softest possible kind and to many of them a new finish like that of the Shetland vells is given. Black lace is quite as much used as white though a shade of cream known as ficelle is perhaps the favorite. Beaded laces are quite new and have been received with gusto. Callot using these trimmings on her latest lingerie and lace frocks. Another novelty is Chantilly lace with the pattern stamped in color, but it must be remembered that all these new effects are of the lightest possible character, the patterns being so scattered that they do not mar the effect of the lace. Braids are gaining in favor for the decoration of the suit and one-piece frock. The new braids are in waived effects or quilled, giving a distinctly unusual touch to the costume. But the trimming par excellence of the season is the button. The directoire styles call for ornamental buttons for sleeves, pockets, flaps, and vest adornment. The real novelty so far is the use of carved crystal medal- ions, showing figures exquisitely traced. The buttons are most artistic and quite expensive, being more like pieces of jewelry than buttons. Another novelty is the amber button, then there is a button of silver with a rhinestone embedded in the center. Dark Colors Popular. The colors adopted are generally speaking very dark. The long popular black and white combination still reigns though brown in many shades and tones is doing its best to oust the favorite. The dark shades of brown are proving a strong rival to the navy blue as well, in fact this may be said to be a brown season. Tobacco and seal are the shadings used for practical purposes but the lighter tones, verging on the tan, are shown in models of more dressy style, while yellow is a color popular for evening. The fashions of the moment favor combinations of material and colors both in contrasts and monotones, thus the suit skirt may be of a dark shade with the jacket in a lighter tone of the same color with trimmings of the skirt material. The coat linings are given great range in color, and it is here that the fashionable broaches are used to advantage as well as the two-toned effects. In the showy materials King's blue is much in evidence, and rose, purple, fan, mustard and touches of green, while darker combinations show blue and black. Burgundy and black, dark green or grey with the ever popular black. Coat Tea Gown. Every woman who makes her own negligees will welcome the coat teagown which is so modest that the wearer could venture almost anywhere in it. The lower portion consists of an Empire robe without sleeves, finished about the raised waistline under a self-cording and about the neck in tucker fashion, above a guimpe of some sheer material. The upper portion, which reaches to the knees, greatly resembles a man's topcoat in shape and has the same wide, long sleeves set plainly into large armeyes. But the fronts roll back for their entire length and there is no collar, merely a cord finish of the gown material for the edges. Made in white, rose, blue, mauve or yellow Chinese silk, the teagown is charmingly soft in effect and its style, which becomes both the thin and the stout woman. Dolores Biscuit and Block Pale Biscuit and Black. A pale biscuit in combination with black taffetas makes a smart and handsome dress, which is altogether in the note of the new fashion. The black taffetas forms the panniers and part of the corsage, including the top of the sleeves. A very thick make of tussure is in the biscuit shade, and this is fashioned into a plain skirt with a seam up the middle of the front, which is laced for the last eight inches from the top. Here there are eyelet holes like those in a corset, and a silk lace is used to draw it together. The sleeve is of the biscuit tussure, and is made long to the wrist with big black balls in place of buttons and a tiny cream lace vest filling up the V, which is formed by the part of the corsage which is of black taffetas, and which comes between the plain net gulme and collar band and the corsage. Flowers on the Coat. Now that it is so smart to have feathers or aigrettes instead of flowers in one's summer hats, it is all the more important that the buttonhole in one's tailormade should be something more than it ever has been before, and there are some very charming little nosegays of mixed flowers which look even better than the fine roses or carnations which for so long were the smartest wear. Forget-me-nots, tiny moss rosebuds, sweet peas, and all small country flowers are mixed together very happily, but the tints of all should be kept low, which means that the flowers must be of the very first make, and therefore they are expensive. Still, it is better to have two bunches of very good flowers to wear turn about than to have four or five indifferent ones. The illustration shows a clever frock of white mousseline and white Chantilly lace, the puffed mousseline encircled with rose satin ribbon. Fine Malines lace forms the large cape collar and the sleeve ruffles. Hot Irons Are Best. The girl who would have wavy hair finds hot irons the quickest tools at her command. If these are once used they are not so harmful as imagined. But woe betide her hair after a few months of overhot irons! Safer and more natural is the water wave. This lasts well on some hair, even on straight hair, while with other girls it is not successful. Failure is usually due to oil in the hair. The hair is wet and brushed back flat to the head. It is then pushed out from the forehead with a comb for about an inch and held in place with small hairpins. This is repeated until the outfit face is circled. Then another section of the hair is combed up and again pinned in place, the process being repeated until the entire head is covered with a series of little ridges. Xanthippe's Jest. Xanthippe had just durned her husband's sixteenth sock "Helgho!" she said, wearily, "I see now why they call you Sockrates!" It was that afternoon that the great philosopher uncomplainingly drained the hemlock cup to the dregs.—Judge. Any man who isn't thankful for what he gets has occasion to be thankful for what he doesn't get. GOOD ROADS Too Little Is Being Taught of Fundamental Principles—Should Begin at Very Bottom. There has been a good deal said in the various farm papers and in the institute bulletins about high road-making, and at the institute meetings also. The institute meetings and farm papers of various kinds are telling us how to bring up run-down farms, and maintain them, our herds, our flocks, etc., writes C. E. Haskins in Hoard's Dairyman. But there is nothing said in regard to the fundamental principles, i. e., commencing at the bottom of a road and bringing it to proper grade to use a drag on. Now, I would take a road that is not sandy, and is dishing in the middle; I would get the center and grade and then I would commence in the middle and plow lightly the first two or three rounds, and go a little deeper until I got the usual depth of plowing, and plow the width of 30 feet cross slope. I would do this plowing as early in the spring as possible and let it until the last of May or first of June, if it was sod. But in the meantime, I would run a fair heft road drag over it occasionally until the last of May or first of June, to mellow it up into dirt. Then I would commence outside of the wheel track (providing the travel was in the center of the road) and Plow again as far as before, and then keep the road drag in use after every rain, and use the ditch cleaner occasionally. You will have as nice a cross slope as you could ask for, and cheaper than any other method. Our farmers' institutes are doing a great work in our great state of Wisconsin, which I have no fault to find with in any respect. But our roads ought to be first on the list, for we are at a place where we have got to have practical men along this line. We are not going to have rock roads at all once, because our state is not in shape to appropriate money enough to us to build rock roads in one year, nor in ten. So I saw we ought to have the A, B, C's taught at our farmers' institutes, and through our farm papers along with our high road making. IMPROVEMENT OF THE HORSE One of Best Methods to Encourage Interest Is Organization of "Colt Shows" in Fall. (By W. H. TOMSHAVE.) Nearly every person, whether living in the city, village or country, takes more or less interest in the horse. It is easy to get an audience when it comes to studying horses, be it at a county fair, farmers' institute, or livestock meeting of any kind. We all have our favorites among the horses in a community, and are always ready to express our opinion as to the merits and demerits of the individuals. Such interest should be encouraged in every community, and one of the best ways of doing it is to hold "colt shows" during the fall and winter months. In the state of Iowa, a number of these shows have been held during the past few years; and they have done much to improve the horses in the state. In planning these shows, the first step is to solicit, among the farmers, stallion owners and business men, for prizes that are to be awarded. These need not be in the form of money, but may be merchandise, machinery, or live stock of some kind. After the prizes have been assured it will be necessary to advertise the show and appoint a committee, who should make a personal canvass of the community, to encourage the owners of colts to bring them out for the contest. Proper classification should be made; so that all colts, such as draft and light colts, will not be shown in the same class. Also, have pure-bred and grades shown in separate classes. If possible, it is a good plan to have the colts from each township show in separate classes, and the first prize winners come together as champions of the show. The colt shows may be held in connection with local market days, or live stock meetings of some kind. Outside uninterested parties should be secured to do the judging; and they should in each case give reasons for placing the colts. After the judging is done, practical talks on horse breeding, by local men and those secured to do the judging, should be given. Colt shows of this kind will also do much to advertise the stallions in a community. One of the best ways of judging the value of a stallion is by the crop of colts which he has sired. Killing Trees. Peeling trees in the late summer will kill them. The stumps can easily be removed with a stump puller or if the ground is cultivated around them they will rot in time. They may be destroyed by fire-or blasted with a small can of dynamite. Sprouts can be killed after the trunk is dead by continually cutting them under the surface with a mattock and by steady cultivation. Proven Success . Everywhere, When Used After Rains. Implement Is of Particular Value In Rounding Up Crown and Filling in Ruts—Harrow Makes Excellent Substitute. The road drag has proved a success everywhere when used after rains to round up the crown and fill the ruts. This does not mean that the crown should be so sharp as to slant the wagon unduly, for as the road is not to be neglected, but cheaply worked as needed, there is no need for too sharp an elevation. We shall soon be hauling an immense tonnage to market, and I believe the drag should be used whether it rains or not, to keep the roads in shape, or we shall again, unless there are frequent rains, which seldom occurs in the fall, have deep cuts all across the traveled surface which are so close they cannot be avoided, says a writer in the Denver Weekly Post. When we start hauling we follow the center of the road, which soon becomes deeply rutted and then we straddle those ruts, continuing whilst any surface is left which is at all solid. The great loads cut deeper and deeper, forcing the dirt higher and higher at the side of the rut where it dries out, becoming pliable and loose. In fact, the road begins to present the pearance of a badly pliable field which has not known the harrow. The escape of moisture leaves the soil particles without a film of water around them to blind them together, and there is a more of less complete break up of the road surface. It is not so much the use of the drag as a rut filler, which is obvious, to which I wish to draw attention as to its use as an agent to retain some moisture which will bind the road and give it resistance to the wheels, just as harrowing a field or race track works for in either case. It is the dust mulch on top that preserves the lower levels from air spaces and breaks up. Teams and teamsters will follow the lines of least resistance, and how often the road runs round where once was wet, spot on a sharp curve for months because the erstwhile mud spot is a little rough and the 'roundabout' way smooth. Where these rough spots are short? teams returning with empty wagons can easily straighten out the road, but they seldom do so. If the road be dragged occasionally, perhaps we cannot entirely prevent the formation of rut, but when the first ones are straddled the old ones will be filled, and soon we can travel both tracks, alternating at the same time, forming a most solid comb to the road by the rolling of the wheels. A wagon wheel, on account of its small size, dropping off a hard onto a soft spot, naturally makes cracks, whilst a road drag, whilst it may, not fill all the holes if there is not enough loose dirt, produces long undulations which do not tend to cut out day by day and get worse and worse. Sometimes we shall have bad roads in the fall, even if we drag, because our road material is not equal to resisting the loads placed upon it, but the road cannot become so bad as it does when no attention whatever is given to leveling it and keeping it compact. Where no drag is available, a harrow, with the teeth stunted, will work a very great improvement, and it can be cheaply applied. GOOD BUILDING. FOR POULTRY House Should be About Seven Feet High In Front and Face the South —Cement Floor Is Best. In reply to a query the Wisconsin agriculturist gives the following plans for a poultry house: "A poultry house in order to be convenient should be built fourteen or sixteen feet wide and as long as is necessary to accommodate the number of fowls you wish to keep. It should be about seven feet high in front and high enough in the rear to give it enough slope to the roof. Build it close to the ground and have it face the south or southeast. Have it located on a rise of ground so that the drainage will be away from the house. Fill up the floor with cinders or gravel and put in a cement floor. In the whole house upon which you can keep two or three inches of fresh sandy loam. Have the windows to the south and east and the roosting closets in the farthest portion of the pens away from the windows. Divide the house into pens about eight or ten feet wide. A good method of building a poultry house is to make one pen with a cement floor eight feet wide in the rear of which is a tight roosting closet and next to this have a scratching shed ten or twelve feet wide without any floor except a dirt floor and have the house entirely open in front. Provide a heavy curtain which can be let down in stormy weather to keep out the rain and snow. By building two laying and roosting rooms together and a scratching shed on each end and then adding similar sections you can keep as many fowls as you choose and they can be conveniently cared for especially if you make an illey in the rear, or you can enter each pen and scratching shed by providing a door which swings both ways. Feed for Pigs. Green feed for plgs acts like pasture for dairy cows and fattening steers. And is nearly as satisfactory. It is an economy. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One of the most interesting of the delegations that attended the International Conference on the Negro at Tuskegee Institute, April last, was that from the Barbados, West Indies, consisting of Washington Harper, A. Rawle Parkinson, and E. Elliott Durant. On their return to the Barbados, at a large and enthusiastic public meeting, they submitted a comprehensive report of their trip to Tuskegee Institute. The report was taken up mainly with a description of the work of the departments of the institution. All the Barbados papers gave extended notice concerning the meeting and the report of the delegation. The following account is taken from the Barbados Standard, Bridgetown. A large and enthusiastic public meeting was held at the Carnegie Hall to receive the report of the delegates who represented this island at the recent conference at Tuskegee. The chair was filled by Mr D. A. Wiles, and among other prominent persons present were Sir Frederick Clarke, K.C. M. G., and Lady Clarke, who both took much interest in the proceedings. After the report containing valuable information collected by the delegates in connection with industrial education during their visit to America had been read and received with manifest appreciation, several resolutions were moved, and some very interesting addresses given. The objects of the resolutions were (1) to accord a hearty welcome to the delegates on their return to the island—moved by Mr. H F Taltit, seconded by Mr Ormond Murray; (2) to express the hope that the general community would benefit by the information brought back by the delegates,—moved by Mr W. Brandford, seconded by Mr W. S Marston; (3) to express confidence in the government and legislature of this island that they would afford means of industrial education to the people—moved by Mr A. W. Ford; (4) to express the gratitude of the general community to Dr Booker T. Washington and his staff for their kindness in generously supplying information and thereby assisting the Barbados delegates to achieve success in their mission to Tuskegee; also suggesting that a visit of Dr. Washington and his wife to these shoes would be viewed with appreciation, and pledging the necessary funds by popular subscription for their entertainment,—moved by Mr C P Clarke, solicitor general, and seconded by Mr C. L. Elder; (5) to thank the various principals and their assistants at Tuskegee, and also Dr. S. Jones and other citizens of New York and Brooklyn, for the valuable help given by them which enabled the delegates to carry out their task,—moved by Mr V. B C Hart, seconded by Mr Estwick; (6) to express the thanks of the meeting to all those persons who so generously subscribed the requisite funds to send the delegates to Tuskegee—moved by Mr H. W. Lofty, M C. P., seconded by Rev J. R. Nichols, acting inspector of schools; and (7) to propose that a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the government, assuring them at the same time of the willingness of the delegates to disseminate among the children attending the public schools the information and knowledge gained during their visit to America,—moved by Mr J. S. Maughan, seconded by Mr Brandford. These resolutions were all unanimously adopted. At the conclusion an exceedingly interesting address was given by Mr. Washington Harper, one of the delegates on their visit to Tuskegee. The sixteenth annual Hampton rego conference dealt with the following vital subjects: Work of Industrial Supervisors in Virginia; Progress in Rural Schools; Negroes and the Census of 1910; White and Colored Death Rates; Negro Population and Illiteracy; Negroes in Virginia; Organization Work among Virginia Negroes; Management of Boarding Departments; Raising Money for Schools; Cultivation of Corn; Public Health; Minister and Community; Recreation and Amusement; Movement of Negroes to the Cities. There are now seventeen colored teachers at work in eighteen counties of Virginia, under the direction of Hampton Institute, trying to secure the more complete cooperation of parents, ministers, and teachers in improving school life. These workers are carrying on school demonstration work, which is giving new life and fresh hope to many neglected country districts. It is not merely enough to paddle your own canoe, but you must do it on steam-yacht time these days. Age has no compensation for the few mad, glad years of youth. There is a "hue and cry" when a woman first notices her hair is turning gray. It doesn't necessarily follow that a widow is unselfish because she is looking out for No. 2. Nice sort of game that, taking the wee ones with you when shop and scolding them when they grow either tired or interested. The colored citizens of Nashville, Tenn., have a park for their exclusive use which is said to be the first of its kind in the United States. It is called Hadley park and was formally dedicated by the board of park commissioners several days ago. Among those present were Mayor Hillary E. Howe and Major McWhirter, chairman of the board of park climmissioners. Dr. R. F. Beyd made the speech of acceptance on behalf of the negro citizens. Benjamin F. Carr presided. Mayor Howe paid a high tribute to the park commissioners, and during his address was interrupted on several occasions by the applause of the negro citizens. "I'll declare," he exclaimed, "no city in the country has the colored population that Nashville has. There is a great future for us here, and it makes no difference, in the great struggle now impending, in the elected president of the country, we people here in this section, black and white alike, will go on building up this section, our state and the nation. White people and black people here in the south will work side by side. We cannot get along without you, and you cannot get along without us. "As chief executive of the city of Nashville, I take great pleasure in extending to you, my colored fellow citizens, this park, the only one of its kind in the United States dedicated to the colored people." In his address Major M'Whirter said: "I know of no city that has shown greater consideration for your race in the matter of parks than ours in securing this valuable property, situated as it is, immediately between and approximate to two of the most prominent necro schools in our Southland. Much will depend on your behavior while visiting the park and with that as the standard you will be judged. It is not difficult to conduct yourselves in such a way as to command respect—and I wish a larger number of young negroes were here to hear this—but it is quite easy for some to bring derision on thousands, and while doing this, they have very little consideration for those who have a larger degree of self-respect." In his speech of acceptance Dr. Bovd said in part: "Our grateful thanks go out to Mayor Howse for the broad and liberal spirit which he has manifested in co-operating with you in securing this site for our park. We know something of the opposition you have met and overcome. We are thankful to the press of the city and the hundreds of friends who have indorsed the movement. "We who are born and reared in the Southland know that the best class of white citizens are our friends, and we are going to live here in this civilization with prayer and hope. We were born here, and we will live and die here. "We want to assure you and reassure you of the gratitude of my race. We are interested in every movement for the betterment of Nashville, for the whole people of Nashville. You can rely upon us to make Hadley park all that it should be as a moral force in the life of our people. You may rest assured that our people will support you in carrying out any regulations you may adopt for the management of this park to the end that it will be a safe place for our boys and girls." When fate bowls at our ideals she usually makes a ten-strike. Joe Jeanette's pronunciamento that he would make Jack Johnson fight him or seek his seclusion afforded by retirement may bring the heavyweight champion of the world to New York to defend his title in a bout there. Jeanette's sincerity in his defi has impressed Billy Gibson, manager of the Garden A. C., and the popular fifth impresario has opened negotiations with the dusky title holder to appear at the Garden. Gibson intends to adhere to the decision of the state athletic commission to bar Johnson from fighting a white man in New York, and for that reason Billy has, secured Jeanette's name to articles calling for a match with Johnson. The entire affair is now up to the champion. Shoppers are in a class to themselves, entirely distinct from buyers. Strange that we 'are willing to forgive people for changing their opinions only when they do so to espouse our views. There is some endurance like a dam—the more it holds back the greater will be the destruction when it gives way. It usually happens that the faults you see in another are on a par with the faults that others see in you. A woman can rarely "makeup" without "changing her countenance." Unselfishness is but a name unless he who claims it as a virtue possesses self-control. FACTS FEATURES and FANCIES for WOMEN PARIS.—That the new materials he soft and pliable is the first consideration of the French de- signers, in these days of the pannier and other voluminous draperies, for the new gown, no matter how pleated and draped, must hang closely to the figure in graceful classical lines, and only a material that is easily draped will do this to the designers' satisfaction. Thus velvet of soft texture will be one of the most used materials, though to carry out the vogue for ribbed fabrics it will be for the most part of the uncut variety. Plushes, too, are another novelty for fall, and the long, thick pile is mounted on a foundation which is almost as light as chiffon. In street suits, many Bayadere weaves will be used as well as diagonalals and Bedford cords, these last in plain shades and artistic melanges. In fact, rough effects are the order of the day, and sponge weaves are confidently introduced at Paris in solid colors, in mixtures and in surface printings as the most advanced fashionable materials. Covert cloth, another favorite, which is pronounced "gover" by those who know, is the correct thing for the long wrap, as well as the heavy manish walking suit. Wool velours are shown in infinite variety, including tapestry weaves in organ pipe effects, while chinchillas are seen in weaves that closely imitate dyed sheep skin. The influence of the velvet vogue is further shown in the velvet finish given to many wool fabrics. The evening gown will show distinctly that this is a revival of the directoire period, for Paris is displaying rich brocades and woven metals. These latter have looped and A twisted threads on the surface in conformity with the tendency toward raised weaves. Satin charmeuse is expected to be the most popular of all silk materials during the winter. Next will come crepes and crepe charmeuse, while crepe de chene, always a safe fabric, is receiving renewed interest, due to the present vogue of draperies for which purpose it is especially adapted. With satins and satin finished, crepes dominating it follows that messalines are everywhere in evidence, while the vogue for clinging draperies assures a place for chiffons, silk volles, marquisettes and mousseline de soie, which will be combined with satins. Gold and silver tinseled novelties will be used in connection with satins and silk tissues, while pompadour 'printings will be popular for combination purposes. Elaborate Trimming. Aside from the use of different materials much trimming is being used by Paris. Laces are noticeably lighter in character, the malline and shadow types are the leading favorites. These laces are of the softest possible kind, and to many of them a new finish like that of the Shetland vells is given. Black lace is quite as much used as white though a shade of cream known as ficelle is perhaps the favorite. Beaded laces are quite new and have been received with gusto, Callot using these trimmings on her latest lingerie and lace frocks. Another novelty is Chantilly lace with the pattern stamped in color, but it must be remembered that all these new effects are of the lightest possible character, the patterns being so scattered that they do not mar the effect of the lace. Braids are gaining in favor for the decoration of the suit and one-piece frock. The new braids are in waived effects or quilled, giving a distinctly unusual touch to the costume. But the trimming par excellence of the season is the button. The directorel styles call for ornamental buttons for sleeves, pockets, flaps, and vest adornment. The real novelty so far is the use of carved crystal medal- hons, showing figures exquisitely traced. The buttons are most artistic and quite expensive, being more like pieces of jewelry than buttons. Another novelty is the amber button, then there is a button of silver with a rhinestone embedded in the center. Dark Colors Popular. Dark Colors Popular. The colors adopted are generally speaking very dark. The long popular black and white combination still reigns though brown in many shades and tones is doing its best to oust the favorite. The dark shades of brown are proving a strong rival to the navy blue as well, in fact this may be said to be a brown season. Tobacco and seal are the shadings used for practical purposes but the lighter tones, verging on the tan, are shown in models of more dressy style, while yellow is a color popular for evening. The fashions of the moment favor combinations of material and colors both in contrasts and monotones, thus the suit skirt may be of a dark shade with the jacket in a lighter tone of the same color with trimmings of the skirt material. The coat linings are given great range in color, and it is here that the fashionable brocades are used to advantage as well as the two-toned effects. In the showy materials King's blue is much in evidence, and rose, purple, tan, mustard and touches of green, while darker combinations show blue and black. Burgundy and black, dark green or grey with the ever popular black. Coat Tea Gown. Every woman who makes her own negligees will welcome the coat teagown which is so modest that the wearer could venture almost anywhere in it. The lower portion consists of an Empire robe without sleeves, finished about the raised waistline under a self-cording and about the neck in tucker fashion, above a gulimp of some sheer material. The upper portion, which reaches to the knees, greatly resembles a man's topcoat in shape and has the same wide, long sleeves set plainly into large armeyes. But the fronts roll back for their entire length and there is no collar, merely a cord finish of the gown material for the edges. Made in white, rose, blue, mauve or yellow Chinese silk, the teagown is charmingly soft, $p$ effect and its style, which becomes both the thin and the stout woman. A pale biscuit in combination with black taffetas makes a smart and handsome dress, which is altogether in the note of the new fashion. The black taffetas forms the panniers and part of the corsage, including the top of the sleeves. A very thick make of tussure is in the biscuit shade, and this is fashioned into a plain skirt with a seam up the middle of the front, which is laced for the last eight inches from the top. Here there are eyelet holes like those in a corset, and a silk lace is used to draw it together. The sleeve is of the biscuit tussure, and is made long to the wrist with big black balls in place of buttons and a tiny cream lace vest filling up the V, which is formed by the part of the corsage which is of black taffetas, and which comes between the plain net guimpe and collar band and the corsage. Flowers on the Coat. Now that it is so smart to have feathers or aigrettes instead of flowers in one's summer hats, it is all the more important that the buttonhole in one's tailormade should be something more than it ever has been before, and there are some very charming little nosegays of mixed, flowers which look even better than the fine roses or carnations which for so long were the smartest wear. Forget-me-nots, tiny moss rosebuds, sweet peas, and all small country flowers are mixed together very happily, but the tints of all should be kept low, which means that the flowers must be of the very first make, and therefore they are expensive. Still, it is better to have two bunches of very good flowers to wear turn about than to have four or five indifferent ones. The illustration shows a clever frock of white mousseline and white Chantilly lace, the puffed mousseline encircled with rose satin ribbon. Fine Malines lace forms the large cape collar and the sleeve ruffles. Hot Irons Are Best. The girl who would have wavy hair finds hot irons the quickest tools at her command. If these are once used they are not so harmful as imagined. But woe betide her hair after a few months of overhot irons! Safer and more natural is the water wave. This lasts well on some hair, even on straight hair, while with other girls it is not successful. Failure is usually due to oil in the hair. The hair is wet and brushed back flat to the head. It is then pushed out from the forehead with a comb for about an inch and held in place with small hairplins. This is repeated until the entire face is circled. Then another section of the hair is combed up and again plinned in place, the process being repeated until the entire head is covered with a series of little ridges. Xanthippe's Jest. Xanthippe had just durned her husband's sxtlth sock "Heigho!" she said, wearly, "I see now why they call you Sockrates!"

Any man who isn't thankful for what he gets has occasion to be thankful for what he doesn't get. GOOD ROADS Too Little Is Being Taught of Fundamental Principles—Should Begin at Very Bottom. There has been a good deal said in the various farm papers and in the institute bulletins about high road-making, and at the institute meetings also. The institute meetings and farm papers of various kinds are telling us how to bring up run-down farms, and maintain them, our herds, our flocks, etc., writes C. E. Haskins in Hoard's Dalryman. But there is nothing said in regard to the fundamental principles, i. e., commencing at the bottom of a road and bringing' it to proper grade to use a drag on. Now, I would take a road that is not sandy, and is dishing in the middle; I would get the center and grade and then I, would commence in the middle and plow lightly the first two or three rounds, and go a little deeper until I got the usual depth of plowing, and plow the width of 30 feet cross slope. I would do this plowing as early in the spring as possible and let it lie until the last of May or first of June, if it was sod. But in the meantime, I would run a fair heft road drag over it occasionally until the last of May or first of June, to mellow it up into dirt. Then I would commence outside of the wheel track (providing the travel was in the center of the road) and Plow again as far as before, and then keep the road drag in use after every rain, and use the ditch cleaner occasionally. You will have as nice a cross slope as you could ask for, and cheaper than any other method. Our farmers' institutes are doing a great work in our great state of Wisconsin, which I have no fault to find with in any respect. But our roads ought to be first on the list, for we are at a place where we have got to have practical men along this line. We are not going to have rock roads all at once, because our state is not in shape to appropriate money enough to us to build rock roads in one year, nor in ten. So I saw we ought to have the A, B, C's taught at our farmers' institutes, and through our farm papers along with our high-road making. IMPROVEMENT OF THE HORSE One of Best Methods to Encourage Interest is Organization of "Colt Shows" In Fall. (By W. H. TOMSHAVE.) Nearly every person, whether living in the city, village or country, takes more or less interest in the horse. It is easy to get an audience when it comes to studying horses, be it at a county fair, farmers' institute, or livestock meeting of any kind. We all have our favorites among the horses in a community, and are always ready to express our opinion as to the merits and demerits of the individuals. Such interest should be encouraged in every community, and one of the best ways of doing it is to hold "colt shows" during the fall and winter months. In the state of Iowa, a number of these shows, have been held during the past few years; and they have done much to improve the horses in the state. In planning these shows, the first step is to solicit, among the farmers, stallion owners and business men, for prizes that are to be awarded. These need not be in the form of money, but may be merchandise, machinery, or live stock of some kind. After the prizes have been assured it will be necessary to advertise the show and appoint a committee, who should make a personal canvass of the community, to encourage the owners of colts to bring them out for the contest. Proper classification should be made; so that all colts, such as draft and light colts, will not be shown in the same class. Also, have pure-bred and grades shown in separate classes. If possible, it is a good plan to have the colts from each township show in separate classes, and the first prize winners come together as champions of the show. The colt shows may be held in connection with local market days, or live stock meetings of some kind. Outside uninterested parties should be secured to do the judging; and they should in each case give reasons for placing the colts. After the judging is done, practical talks on horse breeding, by local men and those secured to do the judging, should be given. Colt shows of this kind will also do much to advertise the stallions in a community. One of the best ways of judging the value of a stallion is by the crop of colts which he has sired. Killing Trees. Peeling trees in the late summer will kill them. The stumps can easily be removed with a stump puller or if the ground is cultivated around them they will rot in time. They may be destroyed by fire or blasted with a small can of dynamite. Sprouts can be killed after the trunk is dead by continually cutting them under the surface with a mattock and by steady cultivation. Proven Success Everywhere, When Used After Rains. Implement is of Particular Value in Rounding Up Crown and Filling in Ruts—Harrow Makes Excellent Substitute. The road drag has proved a success everywhere when used after rains to round up the crown and fill the ruts. This does not mean that the crown should be so sharp as to slant the wagon unduly, for as the road is not to be neglected, but cheaply worked as needed, there is no need for too sharp an elevation. We shall soon be hauling an immense tonnage to market, and I believe the drag should be used whether it rails or not, to keep the roads in shape, or we shall again, unless there are frequent rails, which seldom occurs in the fall, have deep cuts all across the traveled surface which are so close they cannot be avoided, says a writer in the Denver Weekly Post. When we start hauling we follow the center-of the road, which soon becomes deeply rutted and then we straddle those ruts, continuing whilst any surface is left which is at all solid. The great loads cut deeper and deeper, forcing the dirt higher and higher at the side of the rut where it dries out, becoming plurable and loose. In fact, the road begins to present the pearance of a badly plowed field which has not known the harrow. The escape of moisture leaves the soil particles without a film of water around them to blind them together, and there is a more of less complete break up of the road surface. It is not so much the use of the drag as a rut filler, which is obvious, to which I wish to draw attention as to its use as an agent to retain some moisture which will bind the road and give it resistance to the wheels, just as harrowing a field or race track works for in either case. It is the dust mulch on top that preserves the lower levels from air spaces and breaks up. Teams and teamsters will follow the lines of least resistance, and how often the road runs round where once was wet spot on a sharp curve for months because the erstwhile mud spot is a little rough and the roundabout way smooth. Where these rough spots are short, teams returning with empty wagons can easily straighten out the road, but they seldom do so. If the road be dragged occasionally, perhaps we cannot entirely prevent the formation of rut, but when the first ones are straddled the old ones will be filled, and soon we can travel both tracks, alternating at the same time, forming a most solid comb to the road by the rolling of the wheels. A wagon wheel, on account of its small size, dropping on a hard onto a soft spot, naturally makes cracks, whilst a road drag, whilst it may not fill all the holes if there is not enough loose dirt, produces long undulations which do not tend to cut out day by day and get worse and worse. Sometimes we shall have bad roads in the fall, even if we drag, because our road material is not equal to resisting the loads placed upon it, but the road cannot become so bad as it does when no attention whatever is given to leveling it and keeping it compact. Where no drag is available, a harrow, with the teeth stunted, will work a very great improvement, and it can be cheaply applied. GOOD BUILDING FOR POULTRY House Should be About Seven Feet High In Front and Face the South —Cement Floor is Best. In reply to a query the Wisconsin agriculturist gives the following plans for a poultry house: "A poultry house in order to be convenient should be built fourteen or sixteen feet wide and as long as is necessary to accommodate the number of fowls you wish to keep. It should be about seven feet high in front and high enough in the rear to give it enough slope to the roof. Build it close to the ground and have it face the south or southeast. Have it located on a rise of ground so that the drainage will be away from the house. Fill up the floor with clinders or gravel and put in a cement floor in the whole house upon which you can keep two or three inches of fresh sandy loam. Have the windows to the south and east and the roosting closets in the farthest portion of the pens away from the windows. Divide the house into pens about eight or ten feet wide. A good method of building a poultry house is to make one pen with a cement floor eight feet wide in the rear of which is a tight roosting closet and next to this have a scratching shed ten or twelve feet wide without any floor except a dirt floor and have the house entirely open in front. Provide a heavy curtain which can be let down in stormy weather to keep out the rain and snow.

One of the most welcome visitors to our city during the last few idays was the touch of fall weather that we have been experiencing. After sweltering in the heat for several days we can hardly ex- press our stisfaction at the relief that is now ours. . And still the Curators of the Colored Public Library are werk- ing among us. Their success is ours; their failure is also ours. We cannot afford to be branded as an indifferent people when it comes to mutters -for the common good and especially for our people. We ugain remind those of us who have not given to the cause, that they have failed to do their duty. See to it that you have done yourshare toward a worthy enterprise before another week rolls by. Witha yraet deal of interest did we read the annual report of Supt. Ashmore in which many interest- ing statements were made concern- ing the public school system of our county. However, that which mostly concerned us was that part of the report that deals with Negro teachers. ‘Tle Superintendent was quoted as saying that the efficiency of the Colored teachers was grad- ually deteriorating’ from year to year. Assuming that the Super- intendent, by right of being in po- sition to pass judgement on the proper qualification of teachers and prospective teachers, the fore- voing statement, coming as it does from him has a deeper sisnificance than it would have if it had come from some other source. Taking everything into consideration, however, and granting that the statement is without flaw, we find it not difficult in the Jeast to find a cause or reason. In the irst place in all well organized school sys- tems, a high school or some pro- vision is made for the taining of puclie school teachers. ‘Lhis pro- vision is made in our own system, but we recret to say. for the whites only, In order for one of our race to prepare himself fora posi- tionas teacher oftone of our public schools. it is necessary for him af- ter graduation from our grammar school, to seek at his own expense, education in some private high school or college. This requires a considerable outlay of money. Whenever this is done, the large majority of our young folks, whe spend three, four or five years in these private institutions, do not feel in justice to themselves and it consigyration of the outlay 1 eces- sary ‘for their preparation, that they can afford vo accept work: it our system when the pay is > miserably poor, Hence. if thes follow the teaching profession they seek positions in those place where the renmueretive reward: i ereatere As a result of this, onl; asmall percent of the best pro duct of our private institutions fo higher education apply themselve to public school work.

Again the New York World comes Oui in its stand for justice in’ the following editorial on the attitude taken by the American Bar Association relative to the Negro: “Exclusive Law’Mongers.’’ “William H. Lewis, the colored .As: sistant Attorney-General, is to be con- gratulated on refuang to resign from the American Bar Association. “While Mr. Wicketsham’s admirable efforts succeeded in Keeping that asso- ciation from ousting Mr. Lewis and two other colored members, the association passed resolutions in practice prohibit- ing inthe future any negro from be- coming a member. _ ‘These exquisites of the Bar Associa- tion seem to imaging. that they are members of an exclusive social body. They should be brought to realize that the Bar Association is nothing but a ce RP we, ee workingmen’s organization for men working at the profession of the law. These lawyers should understand that much of he distrust with which they are generally regarded arises from the social element which has crept into the practice of the law. which leads to pick- Ing out this lawyer not for his ability but because he is a club-fellow of that Judge. The Bar Association has un. doubtedly intensified this distrust by its attempt to throy men of high char- acter and professional ability on purely social grounds. “If the Bar Association étches to in- dulge in a weeding-out process it can find plenty of cheap shyster lawyers at the bottom of its membership and not afew Inw-evaders at the top. Let it eliminate these men, who ane a disgrace to the trade, instead of venting a sick- ening race snobbishness on men who are an honor to the profession. “The fact that Mr. Lewis is enabled to remain a mémber does not mitigate the shameful fact that under the ae rule the most eminent. lawyer in the United States could not becu:ne a mem- bercf this legal association if he had Negro hlood in his veins. In this case truly ‘the law is an ass,’ ard a dis- yraceful ass at that.’” ii hlood in his veins. | In this case truly ‘the law is an ass,’ and a dis- graceful ass at that.”” In the death of Gen. W. AW. Gordon, the city and State at large hase lost one of 1.3 foremost and most widely known citizens. He was aman loved by all classes with whom he came in contact and he was especially kind to those occupy- ing positions underhim. Elis chari- ty was unbounded, never turning away anappeal toa worthy cause. He wis a vers conservative man. land while he made no show of his magnanimity, he was especnlly | kand to the Negro, and hisatutude toward him was always that -of | justice and sympathy. Especially }do we recall at this time his work among all chisses during the yel- low fever epidemic of 1876. Dur- ing that terrible period he went among the lowly and gave comfort and encouragement, many times administering personal help. Not only did he show this charity to the whites, but made daily visits to the hospitals and retention camps occupied by Negroes and did everything in his power to see that their sufferings were alleviated. Throughout his life he was ever a helpfal friend to the Negro and it is with deep regret that we have learned of his death. Some time ago through the col umns of our paper, we called at- tention to the fast growing custom among us that ought to be con- |demned, viz: The Sunday funeral. Since our article on this subject. we have noted with a great deal of satisfaction a gradual abatement of the custom.

Open Sundays Picnic Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays * FREE DANCING Every Wednesday and Friday ATR DOME One of the most welcome visitors to our city during the last few days was the touch of fall weather that we have been experiencing. After sweltering in the heat for several days we can hardly express our satisfaction at the relief that is now ours. And still the Curators of the Colored Public Library are working among us. Their success is ours; their failure is also ours. We cannot afford to be branded as an indifferent people when it comes to matters for the common good and especially for our people. We again remind those of us who have not given to the cause, that they have failed to do their duty. See to it that you have done your share toward a worthy enterprise before another week rolls by. With a graet deal of interest did we read the annual report of Supt. Ashmore in which many interesting statements were made concerning the public school system of our county. However, that which mostly concerned us was that part of the report that deals with Negro teachers. The Superintendent was quoted as saying that the efficiency of the Colored teachers was gradually deteriorating from year to year. Assuming that the Superintendent, by right of being in position to pass judgement on the proper qualification of teachers and prospective teachers, the foregoing statement, coming as it does from him has a deeper significance than it would have if it had come from some other source. Taking everything into consideration, however, and granting that the statement is without flaw, we find it not difficult in the least to find a cause or reason. In the first place in all well organized school systems, a high school or some provision is made for the training of public school teachers. This provision is made in our own system, but we regret to say, for the whites only. In order for one of our race to prepare himself for a position as teacher of one of our public schools, it is necessary for him after graduation from our grammar school, to seek at his own expense, education in some private high school or college. This requires a considerable outlay of money. Whenever this is done, the large majority of our young folks, who spend three, four or five years in these private institutions, do not feel in justice to themselves and in consideration of the outlay necessary for their preparation, that they can afford to accept work in our system when the pay is so miserably poor. Hence, if they follow the teaching profession, they seek positions in those places where the remunerative reward is greater. As a result of this, only a small per cent of the best product of our private institutions for higher education apply themselves to public school work. The efficiency of the colored teachers will increase in direct ratio with the efforts on the part of the school authorities to provide for their higher education. We sincerely trust that our Educational fathers will take this into consideration and that it is not far distant when the county will provide for the higher education of her colored as well as her white children. Again the New York World comes out in its stand for justice in the following editorial on the attitude taken by the American Bar Association relative to the Negro: "Exclusive Law"Mongers." "William H. Lewis, the colored Assistant Attorney-General, is to be congratulated on refusing to resign from the American Bar Association. "While Mr. Wickersham's admirable efforts succeeded in keeping that association from ousting Mr. Lewis and two other colored members, the association passed resolutions in practice prohibiting in the future any negro from becoming a member. "These exquisites of the Bar Association seem to imagine that they are members of an exclusive social body. They should be brought to realize that the Bar Association is nothing but a workingmen's organization for men working at the profession of the law. These lawyers should understand that much of he distrust with which they are generally regarded arises from the social element which has crept into the practice of the law, which leads to picking out this lawyer not for his ability but because he is a club-fellow of that Judge. The Bar Association has undoubtedly intensified this distrust by its attempt to throw men of high character and professional ability on purely social grounds. "If the Bar Association itches to indulge in a weeding-out process it can find plenty of cheap shyster lawyers at the bottom of its membership and not a few law-evaders at the top. Let it eliminate these men, who are a disgrace to the trade, instead of venting a sickening race snobbishness on men who are an honor to the profession. "The fact that Mr. Lewis is enabled to remain a member does not mitigate the shameful fact that under the new rule the most eminent lawyer in the United States could not become a membercf this legal association if he had Negro blood in his veins. In this case truly 'the law is an ass,' and a disgraceful ass at that." In the death of Gen. W. W. Gordon, the city and State at large have lost one of its foremost and most widely known citizens. He was a man loved by all classes with whom he came in contact and he was especially kind to those occupying positions under him. His charity was unbounded, never turning away an appeal to a worthy cause. He was a very conservative man, and while he made no show of his magnanimity, he was especially kind to the Negro, and his attitude toward him was always that of justice and sympathy. Especially do we recall at this time his work among all classes during the yellow fever epidemic of 1876. During that terrible period he went among the lowly and gave comfort and encouragement, many times administering personal help. Not only did he show this charity to the whites, but made daily visits to the hospitals and retention camps occupied by Negroes and did everything in his power to see that their sufferings were alleviated. Throughout his life he was ever a helpful friend to the Negro and it is with deep regret that we have learned of his death. Some time ago through the columns of our paper, we called attention to the fast growing custom among us that ought to be condemned, viz: The Sunday funeral. Since our article on this subject, we have noted with a great deal of satisfaction a gradual abatement of the custom. We were just on the verge of congratulating ourselves on witnessing the fading away of the custom, when to our surprise, it has suddenly loomed up again with more aspects than ever before. On last Sunday those of us who happened to be on West Broad street during the afternoon and early evening were made to bow our heads in shame at the unusual and unnecessary display of funeral finery and show that was exhibited to our gaze—with bands playing and the funeral cortege flanked on both sides by the habitues of the streets, who formed themselves into marching clubs, West Broad street took on a holiday attire as bright and as gaudy as has ever been witnessed. For the life of us, we cannot see the need of this. On the other hand we are at a loss for words sufficiently strong with which to place our stamp of disapproval upon this growing and cancerous evil among us. We do not know of any people, save ours, who are so much given to unnecessarily elaborate funeral displays. And why this? Failing to find a reason we pause for reply. In our humble opinion the best and surest way to show love and gratitude to our dear ones is to caress and provide for them while they are with us and not after they are dead. Flowers placed on the heads of our loving friends is far better and serves the purpose more advantageously than those placed on their graves. In saying this we do not mean to disparage in the least the having of decent and respectable funerals for our people, but we do maintain that the funerals should be in keeping with the financial status of the survivors. A dollar placed in the hands of the bereaved family will be of much greater service than the one placed unnecessarily in the hands of the liveryman for expensive and uncalled for display. The information has reached us that it is a custom among certain of our people to keep the body of their dead ones, two, three and even four and five days in order that the funeral may take place on Sunday when an elaborate display may be had. Societies of which the deceased may be a member, will then contract for the hiring of ten, fifteen, twenty or even twenty-five carriages, entailing an expense of one hundred or more dollars, in order to swell the funeral procession. Now cannot this be done in a more economical way? Would it not be the part of wisdom on the part of the societies to increase their sick and death benefits. at the cost of these unnecessary funeral expenses. We believe that it will. We unhesitatingly condemn in its entirety the custom of Sunday funerals. Except in a very few instances, they are unnecessary. And it is decidedly up to our leaders of thought, especially our ministers whose time is often too much taken away from the regular duties of Sunday worship, to rid us of this growing evil among us. May our leaders take a gentle hint and strive at once to cause a permanent abatement of the elaborate Sunday funeral that is now so popular among us. Social Happening Mr. and Mrs. W. M.

Perry Superintendent A. B. SINGFIELD General Superintendent G, H, BOWEN BRAZIL AMERICA Lone Bandit Had Robbed L. & N. Limited. RODE TWENTY-FIVE MILES. Howard E. Edwards, Who Robbed the New York Limited, Was Caught Off His Guard Ey the New Orleans.—Suffering from a fractured skull, the bandit who, single-handed, robbed the New York limited train of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, 12 miles east of New Orleans, later to be felled by the locomotive driver, was brought to New Orleans and placed in the Charity Hospital. The bandit said that his name was Howard E. Edwards, and that his family lived in Jupiter, Fla. He gave the police information that is expected to lead to the early capture of three other members of a gang which is believed to have been responsible for a series of sensational train robberies in this section. Edwards is in a precarious condition and attendants at the hospital declared it doubtful whether he would recover from his injuries. After Edwards had completed a round of the coaches he went forward to the engine. Caught off his guard for an instant, he was hit by Engineer Baer, who wielded a heavy brass torch. The bandit dropped, unconscious. Following so closely upon the attempted robbery of the Cincinnati southbound passenger train on the same road at almost the same spot the night previous, the work of Edwards is considered most darling. Edwards first crawled aboard the engine not far from New Orleans and covered Engineer Baer and the fireman with two revolvers. He carried a small vallse, in which he had dynamite and nitro-glycerin. The train was stopped, and with the engineer and fireman preceding him at the point of a revolver Edwards rised the mail car of all registered mall and then relieved the male passengers in five Pullmans and a club car of their valuables. He did not offer to molest women. He secured several hundred dollars, according to the police; then marched the engineer and fireman back to the engine and ordered them to proceed. After riding on the engine for about 25 miles Engineer Baer caught Edwards off his guard and struck him a terrific blow on the head with a brass torch, fracturing the base of the skull. Edwards fired one shot as he fell. It want wild. Engineer Baer proceeded to rain blows with the torch until he had the bandit unconscious. When the train reached Bay St. Louis, Miss., the robber was taken off and placed in the charge of the railroad surgeon until police officers and detectives from New Orleans arrived there in a special train. Although Edwards was unconscious at intervals throughout the night, he gave the police valuable information concerning his alleged partners. Ada, O.—Aaron S. Watkins was notified of his nomination for the vicepresidency by the-Prohibition National Convention. The notification speech was made by Mr. Clinton N. Howard, of Rochester, N. Y. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Watkins said: "I am happy to accept at the hands of the greatest party on earth the honor it has recently bestowed upon me in choosing me to represent the party in the campaign of 1912 as its candidate for vice-president. For the first time in our history candidates have been renominated on the national ticket. I trust that ample reasons existed in the minds of the delegates urging them to this action and hope that Mr. Chafin and I as candidates shall so conduct ourselves in the campaign that none of those who composed that great body at Atlantic City will ever regret their choice." BANDIT WAS A RANK AMATEUR. Holds Up a Passenger Train and Leaves With Only $20. Osage City, Kan.—A masked man boarded a Missouri Pacific train here and robbed the conductor, the ticket auditor and six men who were in the smoker. After obtaining $20 the robber jumped from the train when it stopped at a water tank and escaped into a cornfield. The conductor said the bandit was a "rank amateur." · TRAIN DITCHED; ONE DEAD.

NO SUMMER ALLOWED PRIVATE PROPERTY ANTICIPATION NO SUMMER ALLOWED PRIVATE PROPERTY REALIZATION SAVED 83 FROM DEATH IN BAY Capt. Wm. H. Chelton, Hero, Dead at Lawsonia. CONGRESS GAVE HIM MEDAL Pulled 14 Union Soldiers From Storm Swept Chesapeake In 1863—John Crisfield, Md.—Capt. William H. Chelton, aged 69 years, one of the best known commanders on the Chesapeake, who has saved more lives than any other man in America, is dead in his home at Lawsonia. Captain Chelton was a born sailor, and at the age of 15 commanded a vessel. During the last 50 years he has rescued 83 persons from drowning in the Bay and its tributaries. In January of 1902 a Congressional medal was awarded him. Some of his most notable rescues were made when the Bay was storm-swept. In 1863 he found 14 Union soldiers, who had been doing patrol duty on the Chesapeake, clinging to the bottom of their upturned craft. It was in the middle of the night, and undaunted by the heavy gale which was blowing, he plunged overboard and helped them aboard his vessel. In the same year two men from Pungoteague, Va., were drowning, and Captain Chelton swam 100 yards to reach them, and single-handed brought them ashore, where they were revived. Rescued John W. Crisfield. John W. Crisfield, after whom this city was named, was rescued from drowning in Pocomoke Sound in 1871 by Captain Chelton. Seven years later, in the dead of winter, he hauled nine men from a sunken vessel in the Bay. Captain Chelton was returning to Crisfield, and his craft nearly ran the men down. When taken from the icy waters they were almost exhausted. The captain and crew of five men of the sloop Samuel Brewster, which capsized off Hog Island, were saved by the captain in 1887. So great was the storm at the time of the rescue that Captain Chelton had to swim several times to the distressed men with lifelines. Saved Three Children. It was in 1890 that he made his greatest rescue. William S. Cooper, his two young sons and a baby daughter were boating off Queenstown. Suddenly their vessel capsized, 200 feet from the shore, and Cooper, grasping his baby girl, held her head out of the water with one hand and with the other clung to the overturned craft. The boys managed to secure a hold on the keel. Captain Chelton saved all three of the children by towing them ashore with one hand and swimming with the other. In 1895 the schooner E. C. Thomas was caught and crushed in an ice floe near Point Lookout. The captain and crew of five men were saved by Captain Chelton. During the Civil War Captain Chelton served with distinction in the navy. He was twice married and is survived by three daughters, all grown. Rich Hueband Killed By His Wife's Admirer.

She admits, that she went away from him on a visit so as to give her lover an opportunity to put Bailey out of the way.

London.—A complete disavowal is given by the British foreign office of the so-called official announcement that the British government will formally demand arbitration on the Panama Canal tolls question. "The lines of action which lie before the British government are now being considered, and any announcement of the kind is premature." This is the full text of the formal statement given out by the foreign office in reply to requests for details as to the reported demand for arbitration. Washington.—No less than three separate and distinct "lines of action" are open to the British government in dealing with the problem raised by the passing of the Panama Canal tolls act. It is assumed here that because there is more than one available avenue for British shipping to seek relief the British foreign office has said the notice of an appeal for arbitration was premature. President Taft has indicated one method by which the problem may be attacked. Congress, however, did not think well of the suggestion. That was to include in the act a paragraph giving jurisdiction to American courts to pass upon whether the act constituted a discrimination against British shipping in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. This suggestion may yet be adopted at another session of Congress. Another means of dealing with the British grievance would be to allow any British shipowner to test under existing law before any United States court his right to use the canal under the treaty on terms of equality with American ship owners. Chairman Adamson, of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, and many senators and other representatives have declared that if British rights have been infringed there was already a remedy in the statutes. The last avenue of relief is arbitration though many publicists have held that owing to change of sovereignty over the Canal Zone and other events developed since the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, Great Britain has no actual right to demand arbitration. HELD UP WRONG TRAIN. Bandita Mistake Freight Fbr Passenger Train. New Orleans. — Three bandits, plentifully supplied with high explosives and an automobile, lay in wait 12 miles east of here for a New Orleans and Cincinnati express on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. When they heard the puffing of a locomotive they set their hold-up plans in motion, but after they had halted the locomotive they found it was hauling a long line of freight cars instead of express and passenger coaches. Covering their retreat with leveled guns, the men made off in their automobile. In a Rage He Wounded Wife and Shot At Lawyers. Shelbyville, Ind.—Angry because his wife was seeking counsel for a divorce suit, Louis Rhinchart wounded her, shot at two attorneys and killed himself in a law office. Without warning Rhinehart burst into the office and opened fire. One bullet struck Mrs. Rhinehart in the arm. Rhinehart then shot at Atorneys Campbell and E. M. Cole and sent a bullet into his brain. He and his wife had been separated a year. Lieut. Gen. MacArthur Was Making a Speech. Brilliant Career Of One Of the Best Known Army Officers and a Former Chief Of Staff Brought To An End. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 5.—Gen. Arthur MacArthur, retired, former chief of staff of the Army, was suddenly stricken with acute indigestion while speaking at the reunion of his old regiment, the Twenty-ninth Wisconsin, at 10 o'clock tonight and died in a few minutes. He had been in ill health, the heat was intense and he sank back in his chair, saying he could not continue. He lapsed into unconsciousness and died in a few minutes. Lieutenant General Arthur MacArthur, the twelfth and last American officer to reach that rank in the army, was born in Massachusetts, January 2, 1845. He was a boy when his family moved to Wisconsin and settled in Milwaukee. He received his early education in the public schools of that city. UPHOLDS NEW STATE LAW. Washington Supreme Court Gives Decision In Fielen Case. Olympia, Wash.—The constitutionality of the law providing for the sterilization of habitual criminals and those guilty of unnatural crimes was upheld by the Supreme Court in sustaining the sentence imposed on Peter Fielen, of Seattle, who also is under sentence of life imprisonment. The court found that medical authorities agreed that the operation was neither dangerous nor painful, and held that such punishment was not cruel or inhuman. ISMAY AGAIN QUIZZED. His Testimony This Time Is On the Shipping Trust. Liverpool.—J. Bruce Ismay, head of the International Mercantile Marine Company, concluded his testimony before Charles E. Pickett, master in the inquiry instituted by the United States to take evidence in connection with the American government's suit to dissolve-the alleged Shipping Trust. The examination of Mr. Ismay was private, and his testimony will not be disclosed until, it is reported to the United States Court in New York. TAFT'S COUSIN LOSES JOB. Federal Civil Service Rules Responsible For His Dismissal. Chicago. — Federal civil service rules, it was announced here, were responsible for the dismissal of Harry D. Taft, 24 years old, a cousin of President Taft, from a minor clerkship in the United States customs office here. After the expiration of his temporary appointment it was found he could not retain his position, even though he passed the examination. WOOD PLEADS NOT GUILTY. President Of Woolen Mill Denlea Dynamiting Charge. Boston.—William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen Company, pleaded not guilty in the Superior Court to an indictment charging him with conspiring to distribute dynamite in Lawrence during the big textile strike in that city last winter. Assistant District Attorney Lavelle told the court that the ball of $5,000 had been fixed by a commissioner last week and was satisfactory. FROST HURTS COFFEE CROP Unfavorable Outlook Causes Excitement In New York Market. New York.-Reports of heavy damaging frosts in Brazil and a consequent unfavorable outlook for the coming coffee crop caused extreme activity and excitement in the local coffee market Tuesday. The opening was from 30 to 40 points above the closing prices of last Friday, and the market sold fully 39 to 46 points net higher during the morning. Á $1,000,000 FIRE. Many Buildings In Los Angeles Resort Burned. Los Angeles, Cal.—Fire which started in the Casino cafe at Ocean Park, a beach resort 20 miles from Los Angeles, destroyed the center of the Ocean Park concession and the business district. The Decatur Hotel, Frazier Pier, Casino Auditorium are among the buildings burned and the loss will approach $1,000,000. THREE KILLED BY EXPLOSION. Five Injured By Premature Blast At Stone Quarry. Norristown, Pa.—Two men and a boy were killed and five men were badly injured by the premature explosion of powder in the stone quarry of F. R. Kibblehouse, near here. The charge of powder had just been placed in a rock when a stone rolled into the hole, causing the explosion. THE SCRAP BOOK In remote Swiss alpine hamlets and villages, especially in the Bernese Oberland, there still exist ancient and pretty customs of proposing marriage by the language of flowers. If a maid accepts a bouquet of edelweiss from a man she at the same time accepts him as her fiance, the idea being that the man has risked his life to obtain the flowers for the woman he loves, though of course a bunch of edelweiss is not very expensive. Another method which also exists in the canton of Glarus, is for the young man to place a flower pot containing a single rose and a note on the windowsill of the girl's room, when she is absent from home, and wait—perhaps days—for a reply. If the maid takes the rose, the young man boldly enters the house to arrange matters with her parents, but if the rose is allowed to fade away the proposal is rejected without a single word having been exchanged between the couple. Sometimes a fickle girl will keep a young man waiting a day or two for an answer, but whatever it may be, it is considered final. LIFE LE'GTH OF LOWLY THINGS. It has been computed that the day fly lives 24 hours; the May fly six weeks; the butterfly two months, as, alas, also does the flea; the fly three to four months; the ant, the cricket and the bee one year each; the hare, sheep, six to ten years each; the nightingale 12 years; the wolf 12 to 15 years; the canary bird 15 to 20 years; the dog 15 to 25 years; cattle 25 years; the horse 25 to 30 years; the eagle 30 years; the stag 35 to 40 years; heron, lion and bear 50 years each; the raven, 80 years; elephant, turtle, parrot, pike and carp 100 years each. The ivy outlives 200 years, the elm 300 to 350 years, the linden 500 to 1,000 years; the locust tree and the oak 400 years; the fir 700 to 1,200 years, and the palm trees 3,000 to 5,000 years. DISCOVERY OF 376 COMETS. Statistics collected by Boreilly, the French astronomer, shows that since the sixteenth century 276 comets have been visible to the naked eye, with periodic and 18 have been seen at more than one return, and 56 have been visible to the naked eye, with 7 that could be seen in full daylight. Nearly two-thirds of the discoveries appear to have been made in morning before sunrise, more than half in the second half of the year. The French observatories have led in discoveries, 67 of the comets having been first detected at Marseilles and 46 at Paris, but only 16 at Geneva, which has the next highest record, 15, at Florence, and 14 at the Lick observatory. COMFORTABLE NEST A Montana farmer's wife who had left her "peach-basket" hat in the attic from last season, was surprised when she went to get it for the purpose of making it over into the new style, to find that a quail had found access to it through the open window and appropriated it for a nest. Thirteen young quail greeted the astonished woman and clamored loudly for food. She graciously waived her rights, and the baby birds were left to occupy it until they grew to maturity and sailed away one fine morning. RABBITS SAVED LIVES. Rabbits saved the lives of a family of six in a little village near Bordeaux, France, called Lezignan a few days since. A fire broke out in the cottage of a man named Castello during the night. He, his wife and their four children were sleeping soundly on the first floor when Castello woke, hearing the rabbits squeaking loudly. Thinking that there were burglars in the house, Castello took his revolver and ran downstairs to find that a candle which he had forgotten when he went to bed had set fire to a curtain and that the ground floor was blazing. Owing to the warning of the rabbits, Castello was able to save his wife and family, and the rabbits themselves. A moment after he had done so the roof fell in and the house is now in ruins. NEW CHINESE STAMPS. The new Chinese stamps have begun to arrive in America. The name of the new republic, as indicated by these stamps, is Chung Hua Min Kua, or "Middle Flowery People's State." This name is apparently adapted from the familiar designation of China as the "Flowery Kingdom." IN THE MOON. The visible part of the moon is about equal to the superficies of North America. It is very mountainous, and around the vast dry plains which form the dark spots seen with the naked eye are volcanoes whose funnel-shaped craters resemble old wells filled in by the deposits of the ages. Maps of the moon show more than 33,000 such craters, some of them 200 kilometers in diameter. Measured by the length of their shadows some of the lunar mountains are 8,200 meters high. The earth's radius is supposed to be nearly four times that of the moon. Proportionally the moon is much more mountainous than the earth. All the lunar volcanoes are extinct. The moon was formed after the earth was formed; it has gone to its doom faster than the earth because, as its mass is much feebler than the earth's mass, it cooled faster. The moon's light and shade are seen clearly because it has no appreciable atmosphere. It is not inhabited—Harper's Weekly. BOSTON'S LARGE INDEX. On Beacon hill, in Boston, under the golden dome of the state house, is one of the largest indexes in the world. In fact, the Russian public index is the only one known to be larger. More than 9,000,000 names, births, marriages and deaths in Massachusetts from 1843, make a complete record, showing not only where people were born and where they died, but also statistics which are vital in making up calculations. Before this time the records were kept in the different towns, but now they are all concentrated in the state house in Boston. In a relatively small space all these records are preserved, and as birth, marriages and deaths come in, different forms of cards are used, as a great variety of names, Grecian, Assyrian, Italian and others now mingle with good old New England names that have been on the records since the landing of the Mayflower.—National Magazine. LOCATED THE CULPRIT. Another mysterious shortage of the milk supply from a hitherto abundant milker—a Holstein, owned by Mr. Hendershot, an Ohio farmer—has been solved. The son of Mr. Hender shot, armed with a camera, located and photographed the pilferer in the act of pilfering—the favorite piglet of the farm. The guilty little runner is now up against a life sentence of penal servitude. PRUSSIC ACID IN PLANTS. The remarkable fact that considerable quantities of free prussic acid are accumulated in the living tissues of certain plants was observed by the late Dr. M. Treub, and there appears to be little doubt that this poisonous acid is actually utilized as food material by these plants. Some interesting details concerning the occurrence and function of prussic acid in the cherry laurel are given by Peche, who concludes from his observations that the prussic acid found in the leaves and other organs is produced as a direct result of carbon assimilation in the green leaf cells when exposed to light, and that it is not merely a product of the hydrolysis of glucosides. Peche found evidence that, while part of the prussic acid enters into the building up of glucosides, some of it is transported in a labile form, probably in loose combination with a tannin, and is stored up in various tissues as a reserve food.-Nature. BEES PRE-EMPT ROOM. At Blackburn, Lancashire, England, a swarm of several thousand bees recently took possession of a bedroom at Walnut street, in the absence of the tenant, a cotton operative, and his family. Sweeping like a cloud through the open window, the bees resisted all attempts to dislodge them, and some young people were so severely stung as to necessitate medical treatment. Ladders were brought, and, with hands and faces protected, men climbed to the roof with brooms. Others tried to smoke out the unwelcome visitors with some degree of success, large numbers being killed. An attempt to hive the bees, made in the evening, was successful. LENGHTY REIGNS The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has now reigned sixty-three years, seven months and twelve days. The reign of Queen Victoria was one of sixty-three years, seven months, and two days. The Elector Charles Theodore of the Palatinate and Louis XIV. of France have alone surpassed Francis Joseph's record, the former having reigned sixty-six and the latter seventy-two years, but both of them came to the throne as minors, the former at the age of nine, and the latter as a child of five. PREHISTORIC GOUT An anthropologist has discovered that from the earliest times men have been subject to gout and rheumatism. The examination of 100 skeletons of both sexes, from the stone age, has revealed that our remote ancestors suffered acutely from these two diseases, which suggests that bone and muscle maladies are not to be attributed to high living, but rather to damp, unhygienic dwellings and exposure to cold and to climatic influences An Advertisement in.

Ambassador Curtis Guild at St. Peters- burg Sends to State Department Exhaustive Report on Plan Adopted in That Country. i ee ae ae ee a ae a ee aor er of the Russian ezar's domain. The state department has just received from Ambassador Curtis Guild at St. Petersburg an exhaustive report on the farmers’ co-operative credit sys- tem in Russia. \ This is the first of a series of re- ports requested by President Taft from nearly every one of the diplo- matic officers in Europe on this move- ment which he is striving to trané- plant to this country for the benetit of the American farmer. At the present time the Russian gov- ernment has nearly forty millions of dollars of government money invested in the farmers’ co-operative credit sys- tum. How established a part of the Russian peasant’s life this financial machine {s becoming is clearly shown In the practice of the peasants to de- posit their savings with the credit so- | cleties on the understanding that the deposits will be paid out after their | seach for their funeral expenses or | that they will be returned to’them at | the time’ of the coming of age of a son jor the marriage of a daughter. The co-operative movement among Russian peasants has uow developed | two distinct aims. . First, to educate | the peasants. a large proportjon of whom are quite illiterate, along the | lines of modern farming: and. second- ly, to encourage them to save their ‘earnings and acquire the habit ef pro- ‘viding against the rainy days The direct aim of the Russian government | in organizing this system was to re | lieve the peasant from the necessity | of paying exorbitant and ruinous rates of interest, imposed upon them by | their money lenders. The movement affords further edu- | cation tor the peasant since the Rus- | sian government has very wisely left 'the management of the societies large- 'y in the hands of the farmers them- | selves. conducted through the general meetings of the societies, in which ev- |ery member of the society is given jone vote. The peasant is thus given considerable experience in financial ‘aftairs and management The mem-. bers elect a board of directors and a | council. These bodies take care of ithe executive.work They report to pthe general meetings of the societies, | at which all the members are present. |The government exercises, supervision | over the societies through the iminis- try of finance, * | Although instituted as late as 1894, jane movement has spread in Russia to include ten thousand farmers’ socie- | ties, with an average membership in Feach society of nearly five hundred The network of societies covers prac- tically the entire immense area of the Russian empire Widespread interest is taken in the movement both by the. Russian government and by the peas- ants, and the government 4s at the, | presnt time considering a further elab- | oration of the scheme. In studying the Russian co-operative credit system from the viewpoint of the American farmer, Ambassador Guild finds that naturally the great jditference obtaining between «condi- | tions in the United States and in Rus- sia, in regard to the amount of land /farmed by individuals, the system of fand tenure, the wealth of the farm- Re class, and in the general facility for borrowing money, makes it impos- sible for this country to secure much ‘benefit from a study of the Russian system beyond its general principles. For example, the average loan re- quired by the farmer in Russia does not exceed $50 and is generally em- ployed to purchase some article neces- sary at the moment, such as an agri- cultural implement or a horse, the loan being repaid by the Russian far- mer immediately after the harvest. Of course, the American farmer, who works a much larger acreage. would usually need more money and longer time. He would require his loan, not so much for the moment's exigency, as for the gradual development of his property. 7 . In brief, Ambassador Guild reports the Russian system to be an institu- tion of cooperative loan societies among the farmers, conducted under governmental patronage and supervi- sion, by which the farmer, at no cost to himself, is given the benetit of loans from his society on long time and easy terms, and, at the same time. is permitted to share in his society's profits. * KEEPS VOW TO BAR WHE. Forty years ago little Willfe Wilson was late for’ school at Blantyde, in Scotland, and the schoolmaster sound- ly thrashed him for it. That day Willie took an oath that whea he got to parliament he would pass a law making such behavior on thé part of teachers a penal offense. He never went to parliament, but in the house of representatives he took steps to make good his cath. Ag a representative from the Fif- teenth Pennsylvania district, he dropped in the speaker's basket a bill making corporal punishment fm the District of Columbia a serious offense. SENATORS.GET CANNON. The senate demanded cannon—and got them. There were cannon to the Tight of them, cannon to the left of them, cannon ahead of them, but the only "volleying and thundering” that was done was the thundering of in- dividual senators for more cannon. All of the troubles of the waning session were forgotten in the getting of the guns. Senator O'Gorman caused the trou- ble when he called up a, bill granting condemned cannon to half a hundred towns throughout the country, to be placed in public squares, the grounds of public buildings and about state armories. No sooner had the bill been read than there arose a chorus of “Mr, President!” from the floor. Sen- ator Jones of Washington got cannon for half a dozen towns in his state. Senator Pomerene of Ohio was grant- ed one gun. Senator Catron of New Mexico got two. Finally John Sharp Williams arose and drawled: “I'd ke a cannon for some place in Mississippi to be designated later.” “There won't be enough cannon to go round.” remarked Senator Martine. “We want to shoot some down in Kentlicky,” declared Senator radley. “Two cannen, suitably trimmed, for Lancaster, Ky..” read the clerk, “Didn't say I wanted them trim- med?” said Bradley, but he accepted the “outfit of cannon balls” when’ the term was explained. The bill finally disposed of some 105 cannon 4 BIG BARGAIN SALE. ‘The biggest bargain sale of machin- ery in history is promised upon the completion of the Panama canal. To dispose of machinery costing more than $15,000,000 is the problem con: fronting government authorities when the canal 1s opened Although understood in a general way, Colonel Goethals, superintendent of the canal work, reports actual fig: ures of macbinery bought since the United States began digging the “big ditch.” Here are a few of the prin- cipal items: Steam shovels, 102; cars, 4,181, locomotives. 189; rock drills. 725: cranes, 79; dredges, 14, barges. 44 Many of the locomotives and cars will be useful in operating the caral and the Panama railroad, hut most of the dredges, steam shovels and moun- tains of otber steel unplements will be put on the block for sale | Secretary of the Interior Fisher has ‘suggested the plan of transferring ‘much of the -discarded machinery to ‘Alaska for use in constructing a gov- ernment railroad to the interior of that territory. If congress does not authorize the federal railway in Alas- ka, however, most of the Panama ma- chinery will be sold for the best price it will bring WANTED ARTIFICIAL LEGS. Charles Mitchell, a Polish miner who lost his legs in a West Virginia mine several months ago, came here the other day to get « pair of artiticial legs. He was told by a friend in West Virginia that Congressmen had wood- en legs. garden seeds, bulletins and other things to give away. Upon be- ing advised that artificial limbs are not to be had at the Capitol for the asking. Mitchell became downcast. He was sent to a public lodging house by police officers. When told of the West Virginia crip- ple Sam Pollard, the legless pencil vendor on Pensylvania avenue, said: “There is but one way to get IT in Washington, and that is work for it. Mfteen years ago 1 was run over by a steam boat and had both tegs cut off, but 1am still living. No congress- man eyer offered me a pair of wooden legs" TURKEYS FOR ARMY WORMS. | From a farmer at Groveland, Ga. came a tip to congress of a way to rid the south of the army worm. M. M. Kicklighter wrote a letter, in red ink throughout, to the “House or Senate,” telling of his discovery “I saw your advertisement in the At- lanta paper for ald to check the army worms,” it began. “I had ten acres of corn and the army worms had just started in. I drove my turkeys in my field and they ate the army worms up in two days, and-if it had not been for my turkeys 1 would have lost 500 bushels of corn by those worms., “So please send meacheck for said amount, for that is the, only way to destroy the army worms.” Congress recently appropriated $25,, 009 to eliminate the worm. MUST LAY LARGER EGGS. Poultry experts in the department of agriculture have undertaken to teach the farmers of the country how to save about $50,100,000 on eggs 2 year. “It is a conservative estimate,” said M. E. Pennington of the poultry di vision of the department; “that more than $45,000,000 are lost annually by the handling of eggs for the market.” Among other things the department experts will urge the farmers to en- courage thelr hens to lay larger eggs, and less sterile eggs for market pur- poses. By the cooperation of the farmer and the hen, Mr. Pennington argues, the cost of living can be lowered to the average man. If the $45,000,000 or $50,000,000 now lost annually can be saved every man, woman and child in the United States will be at least 50 cents better off. CAMP BEAR ON SPREE FOUR-LEGGED DOMESTIC TRANS- " FORMED INTO MISCREANT. Taught to Drink by Men of the Camp, THe Took to Going Out for a “Good Time"—Run Over by Train. Bangor, Maine.—Reddy, the lumber camp Lear of Reddington, is dead, gone to a drunkard's grave. Four years ago Reddy was found. whining and shivering, a friendless or- phan bear, in the woods near Brad- shaw‘s camp, and brought-in by some of the choppers. His mother had been “killed and his brothers had been taken away by the hunters, who had over- looked him. It was pretty near the end of the season at Bradshaw's. Tho cook, Peter St. Pierre, adopted him and later took him to his home, a few miles away. Peter had a wife, but no children, and Reddy got all the atten- tion and petting that Peter would have bestowed upon a son. Next sea- son, when Peter took him ‘back to camp, he was the best educated bear In all Maine. What Reddy couldn't do in the Hne of clever tricks wasn’t worth men- tioning. and Peter declared that he was a great help to him. Reddy would scour pots and pans, go out and fetch chips for kindling, make up the men’s bunks, tidy up,the camp, help clear off the table, and early on frosty morn- ings would go out and uncover the bean hole quicker than a man could do it and fetch In the steaming pot. He saved Peter a good many steps and much labor. . At first Reddy used to sit up at the table with the men and eat, and visit- ors said his table manners were per- fect, except that he always lapped his tin plate clean after eating flapjacks and molasses. He drank coffee from a tin dipper like the rest and used to bang his dipper on the table when he wanted more. But when the crew was increased in numbers Peter needed Reddy’s help as walter, and after that he was made to carry food to the men and dined at the second table with Peter. He could play seven-up and other simple card games, and, under the tutelage of Jack Rafferty. he be- came a fine dancer, He was espe: claily expert as a jig dancer, and the first squeak of Peter St. Pierre's fiddlo would wake him out of a sound sleep and set him going. 2 Educated in many useful arts, falth- ful) and industrious, companionable and sweet-tompered, Reddy became loved and famous all through northern Maine. Many tempting offers were made for him by rich sportsmen after witnessing his accomplishments, but gold could not buy him away. But Reddy's life was rulmed by the demon rum. One Christmas eve some Bangor sportsmen came to Bradshaw's camp for a night's lodging, bringing Mquor with them. As a joke Reddy was invited to take a little whisky No one thought he would drink the stuff. but he did. and whimpered for more. After all hands had gone to sleep Reddy got up and emptied the bottle, and when it came time for him to go out and uncover the bean hole he was stretched out on the camp floor. snoring Hke a volcano. Reddy Was drunk. From that day Reddy was a changed bear. Me was cross and lazy. He he- came a vagabond, stealing away from camp At every’ opportunity and being absent for days at a time: Finally it was discovered that Reddy was being entertained by men ‘at a hotel six miles away. They gave him all the whisky he wanted. To get a drink all he had to do was dance or perform some of-his many clever tricks. The hotel-keeper offered St. Plerre $200 for him, DB: The end came after one of Reddy's debauches al the Umbajejus House. In a foozled condition he started for bone. Had he been soker Ee woud havé gone straight across the éouit try, making the distance about six miles, but with his head all awhirl he was afraid he might not find his way, so he followed the railroad track, where the going would be easier and the journey safer, [f longer.

Ambassador Curtis Guild.at St. Peters- burg Sends to State Department Exhaustive Report on Plan Adopted in That Country. cial fabric to assist the peasant farm- er of the Russian czar’s domain. The state department has just received from Ambassador Curtis Guild at St Petersburg an exhaustive report on the farmers’ co-operative credit sys- tem in Russta. \ Thia is the first of a series of re- ports requested by President Taft from nearly every one of the diplo- matic officers in Europe on this move- ment which he is striving to trans- plant to this country for the benetit of the American farmer. At the present time the Russlan gov- ernment has nearly forty millions of dollars of government money invested in the farmers’ co-operative credit sys- tem. How established a part of the Russian peasant’s life this financial machine fs becoming is clearly shown in the practice of the peasants to de- posit their savings with the credit so- cieties on the understanding that the deposits will be paid out after their death for their funeral expenses or that they will be returned to them at the time of the coming of age’of a son or the marriage of a daughter. The cooperative movement among Russian peasants has now developed two distinct aims: First, to educate the peasants. a large proportion of whom are quite illiterate, along the lines of modern farming; and, second- ly, to encourage them to save their earnings and acquire the habit ef/pro- viding against the rainy days. The direct aim of the Russian government in organizing this system was to re lieve the peasant from the necessity’ of paying exorbitant and ruinous rates of interest, imposed upon them by their money lenders. The movement affords further edu- cation for the peasant since the Rys- sian government has very wisely left the management of the societies large- ly in the bands of the farmers them- sélves, conducted through the general meetings of the societies, in which ev- ery member of the society is given one vote. The peasant is thus given considerable experience ,in finaneial affairs and management The mem-. bers elect a board of directors and a council. These bodies take care of the executive work. They report to the general meetings of the societies, at which all the members are present. The government exercises supervision over the societies through the minis- try of finance. & Although instituted as late as 1895, the movement has spread in Russia to include ten thousand farmers" socie- ties, with an average membership in each society of nearly five hundred. The network of societies Covers prac- tically the entire immense area of the Russian empire Widespread Interest is taken in the movement both by the Russian government and by the peas- ants, and the government is at the presnt time considering a further elab- oration of the scheme. In studying the Russian co-operative credit system from the viewpoint of the .American farmer, Ambassador Guild finds that naturally the great difference obtaining between condi- tions in the United States and In Rus- sia, in regard to the amount of land farmed by individuals, the system of land tenure, the wealth of the farm- ing class, and in the general facility for borrowing money, makes it impos- sible for this country to secure much benefit from a study of the Russian system beyond its general principles., For example, the average loan re- quired by the farmer in Russia does not exceed $50 and is generally em- ployed to purchase some article neces- sary at; the moment, suck as an agri- cultural implement or a horse, the loan being repaid by the Russian far- mer immediately after the harvest. Of course, the American farmer, who works a much larger acreage, would usually need more money and longer time. He would require his loan, not so much for the moment's exigency, as for the gradual development of his property. . In brief, Ambassador Guild reports the Russian system to be an institu- tion of cooperative loan societies among the farmers, conducted under governmental patronage and supervi- sion, by which the farmer, at no cost to himself, is given the benetit of loans from his society on long time and easy terms, and, at the same time. is permitted to share in his society's profits. KEEPS VOW TO BAR WHIP. Forty years ago little Willie Wilson was late for’ school at Blantyde, in Scotland, and the schoolmaster sound- ly @hrashed him for it. That day Willie took an oath that whea he got to parliament he would pass a law making such behavior on the part of teachers a penal offense. He never went to parliament, but in the house of- representatives he took steps to make good his oath. As a representative from the Fif- teenth Pennsylvania district, he dropped in the speaker's basket a bill making corporal punishment im the District of Columbia a serious offense. SENATORS GET CANNON, The senate demanded cannon—and got them. There were cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them, cannon ahead of them, but the only “volleying and thundering” that was done was the thundering of in- dividual senators for more cannon. All of the troubles of the waning session were forgotten in the getting of the ‘guns. Senator O'Gorman caused the trou- ble when he called up a bill granting condemned cannon to half a hundred towns throughout the country, to be placed in public squares, the grounds of public ‘buildings and about state armories. No sooner had the bill been read than there arose a chorus of “Mr. President!” from the floor. Sen- ator Jones of Washington got cannon for half a dozen towns in his state- Senator Pomerene of Ohio was grant- ed one gun. Senator Catron of New Mexico got two. Finally John Sharp Williams arose and drawled: “I'd Nke a cannon for some place in Mississippi to be designated later.” “There won't be enough cannon to go round,” remarked Senator Martine. “We want to shoot some down in Kentucky,” declared Senator Bradley. “Two cannon, suitably trimmed, for Lancaster, Ky..” read the clerk. “Didn't say I wanted them trim- med?” said Bradley, but he accepted {he “outfit of cannon balls” when the term was explained. The bill finally disposed of some 105 cannon. * BIG BARGAIN SALE. The biggest bargain sale of machin- ery in history is promised upon the completion of the Panama canal... To dispose of machinery costing more than $15,000,000 is the problem con- fronting government authorities when the canal is opened. Although understood in a general way, Colonel Goethals, superintendent of the canal work, reports actual fig- ures of machinery bought since the United States began digging the “big ditch.” Here are a few of the prin- cipal items: Steam shovels, 102; cars, 4,181; locomotives, 189; rock drills, 725; crangs, 79; dredges, 14, barges, 44. Many of the locomotives and cars will be useful in operatink the canal and the Panama raliroad. but most of the dredges, steam shovels and moun- tains of other steel implements will be put on the block for sale. . Secretary of the Interior Fisher has suggested the plan of transferring much of the discarded machinery to Alaska for use in constructing a gov- ernment railroad to the interior of that territory. If congress does not authorize the federal railway in Alas- ka, bowever, most of the Panama ma- chinery, will be sold for the best price Ht will bring WANTED ARTIFICIAL LEGS. Charles Mitchell, a Polish miner who lost his legs in a West Virginia mine several months ago, came here the other day to get # pair of artificial Jegs. He was told by a friend in West Virginia that Congressmen had wood- en legs. garden seeds, bulletins and other things to give away. Upon be- ing advised that artifictal limbs are nol to be had at the Capitol for the asking, MitcheN became downcast. He was sent to a public lodging house by police officers. When told of the West Virginia crip- ple Sam Pollard, the legless pencil vendor on Pensylvania avenue. said: “There is but one way to get IT in Washington, and that is work for It. Fifteen years ago 1 was run over by a steam boat and had both legs cut off, but 1 am still living. No congress- man ever offered me a pair of wooden legs.” TURKEYS FOR ARMY WORMS. — | From “a farmer at Groveland, Ga.; came a tip to congress of a way to rid the south of the army worm. M. M. Kicklighter wrote a letter, in red ink throughout, to the “House or Senate,” telling of his discovery. “I saw your advertisement in the At- lanta paper for aid to check the army worms,” {t began. “I had ten acres of corn and the army worms had just started In. I drove my turkeys in my field and they ate the army worms up in two days, and if it had not been for my turkeys I would have lost 500 bushels of corn by those worms. “So please send meacheck for said amount, for that is the, only way to destroy the army worms.” Congress recently appropriated $25, 000 to eliininate the worm. MUST LAY LARGER EGGS. Poultry experts in the department of agriculture have undertaken to teach the farmers of the country how to save about $50,000,000 on eggs a year. “It is a conservative estimate,” said M. E. Pennington of the poultry di- vision of the department, “that more than $45,000,000 are lost annually by the handling of eggs for the market.” Among other things ‘the department expérts will urge the farmers to en- courage their hens to lay larger eggs, and less sterile eggs for market pur poses. By the co-operation of the farmer and the hen, Mr. Pennington argues, the cost of living can be lowered to the average man, If the $45,000,000 or $50,000,000 now lost annually can be saved every man, woman and child in the United States will be at least 50 cents better off CAMP BEAR ON SPREE FOUR-LEGGED DOMESTIC TRANS- -FORMED INTO MISCREANT. “Good Time"—Run Over by Train, Bangor, Malne.—Reddy, the lumber camp Lear of Reddington, is dead, gone to a drunkard’s grave. Four years ago Reddy was found, whining and shivering, a friendless or- phan bear, in the woods near Brad- shaw's camp, and brought in by some of the choppers. His mother had been kitled and his brothers had been taken away by the hunters, who had over- looked him. It was pretty near the end of the season at Bradshaw’s. The cook, Peter St. Pierre, adopted him and later took him to his home, a few miles away. Peter had a wife, but no children, and Reddy got all the atten- tion and petting that Peter would have bestowed upon a son. Next sea- son, when Peter took him back to camp, he was the best educated bear In all Maine. What Reddy couldn't do tn the line of clever tricks wasn’t worth men- tioning, and Peter declared that he was a great help to him. Reddy would scour pots and pans, go out and fetch chips for kindling, make up the men's bunks, tidy up, the camp, help clear off the table, and early on frosty morn- Ings would go out and uncover the bean hole quicker than a man could do it and fetch In the steaming pot. He saved Peter a good many steps and much labor. _ At first Reddy used to sit up at the table with the men and eat, and visit- ors sald his table manners were per- fect. except that he always lapped his tin plate clean after eating fapjacks and molasses. He drank coffee from a tin dipper like the rest and used to bang his dipper on the table when he wanted more. But when the crew was increased in numbers Peter needed Reddy's help as waiter, and after that he was made to carry food to the men and dined at the second table with Peter. He could play seven-up and other simple card games, and, under the tutelage of Jack Rafferty. he be- came a fine dancer. He was espe- cially expert as a jig dancer, and the first squeak of Peter St. Pierre's fiddle would wake him out of a sound sleep and set him going. “ ‘ Educated in many useful arts. faith- ful and industrious, companionable and sweet-tempered, Reddy became loved and famous all through northern Maine. Many tempting offers~were made for him by rich sportsmen Sfter witnessing his accomplishments, but gold could not buy him away. But Reddy's Ife was ruined by the demon rum. One Christmas eve some Bangor sportsmen, came to Bradshaw's camp for a night's lodging, bringing Uquor with them. As a joke Reddy was invited to take a little whisky. No one thought he would drink the stuff, but he did. and whimpered for more. After all hands had gone to sleep Reddy got up and emptied the bottle, 2nd when It came time for him to go out and upcover the bean hole he was stretched out on the camp floor. snoring Nke a volcano. Reddy was drunk. From that day Reddy was a changed bear. He was cross and lazy. We be- came a vagabond, stealing away from camp at every opportunity and being absent for days at a time. Finally it was discovered that Reddy was being entertained by men at a hotel elx miles away. They gave him all the whisky he wanted. To get a drink all he had to do was dance or perform some of his many clever tricks. The hotel-keeper offered St. Pierre $200 for him, a The end came after one of Reddy's ébauches At the Umbajejus House. In a foozled@ condition he started for bome. Had be been soker Se would havé gone stralght.actoas-the coat try,‘ making the distance about siz miler, but with hie head all awhirl he was afrald he might not find his way, so he followed the railroad track, where the going would be easter and the journey safer, ff longer. It would have been all right at that had Reddy not fallen asleep on the track.» The night train came along and killed him, He was buried with honors in the presence of many mourners.
