NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES "When that trio of strong-arm men stuck up one of their pals the other for a pear of a swag he possessed so strong, so sensitive, somewhat mournfully suggested, that the incident pressed the passing of the proverbial honor among theres," reiterated the author of the Byrne纪要. "Now, that's misleading stuff. There never was any honor among theres. I never knew a crook with a knife. I never knew a quick as he'd eat a plate of meat and a plate of meat." "A little more than twenty years ago three Class A cracksmans of this town framed up a promising bank job over in Paterson. The thing went through in Paterson. They put the watchman under the gun and the gunman's front door to get a breath of air and they had him cordaged up and gagged in the basement before he knew where he was at. The vault was an ordinary combination and any double or time-lock contrivances, and it was dead easy for men who knew how to handle the blow-pipe and the nitro. They got her open after an hour's work, and it just looked like the world was their'ren, so to be sure she was seen in new currency in plains. They gift stuff alone, and they gift stuff out, and a leisurely job of dividing the loot into three equal parts of $20,000 for each man. The lookout or outside man abandoned his post in front of the door to be in at night, and she was hanging in his hinges. The three were sitting inside the vault, stuffing the currency into their clothes and planning for their different hiding places when two cope suddenly appeared at the entrance of the building. The three of them. It all so sudden that the man of the three went right straight up. "While one of the cops kept the three covered by the simple gun-fanning process, the other went behind em and defily removed their shooting tools. Then they executed a walking backward move, of currency from the pockets of each. This done, March!" said the two cops to the three cracksmen. The cops marched the three down to the basement, where the watchman was still tied up. Then they executed a walking backward move, of currency from the door at the back leading into the alley, slammed the door, which closed with a spring lock and the three crackmen were neatly hobbled. "They hadn't any tools, and so they untitled the watchman and ordered him to turn them loose, but they had collared the watchman's keys upstairs before dragging him to the cellar, and the keys were still upstairs. So the three cracksmen and the watchman were found together in the basement on the following day. "The cracksmans' story that they themselves had been stuck up by a couple of cops was scouted, and when the watchman chimed in and stated that the story of the murder of a man with a mutilation of having been in cahoots with the nitro men. The watchman had a hard time in squirting himself, and came near doing his bit over the road. He stuck to the cop story so persistently, however, that he was able to get the man on the adjoining beet to make all kinds of explanations as to their whereabouts on the night of the robbery. To square themselves both had to own a cop, and they were deceived witnesses to that effect, and both lost their badges. The three cracksmans got ten-year stretches in Trenton. "Now, these two cadets in the rig-out of cops were Chicago bank burglaries, and so they went to pick up a bit in their home town, and in some mysterious way they'd learned about the details of this Paterson job. It looked like ready money and no work, and so they went to one of the cellar rooms to find the measures taken for policemen's suits. Then they went to Paterson on the appointed night and just stood by until their time came. Then they made their play, and it sure was a neat and profit-a "They got away with the goods and the story didn't get around for three or four years afterward. Then one of the Chilterns threw a ball and night and spun the yarn. Now, if there was ever anything in this 'honor among thieves' pipedream you'd naturally suppose that these two ud have been on occasion and that they profitable masquerade as cop in Paterson. Nothing of the sort happened. The gang patted 'em on the back and ha-'d over the picture of up the Eastern basement with the watchmen. "These two are still in business in Chicago, but they're strong arm men now. One of them was kicked almost over the Eastern crackern after the latter got out of Trenton, but he probably didn't mind a little thing like that, remembering all the foe he'd had with his end of the knife and had been picked up with so little trouble. "Spark-grafters--that is to say, diamond snatchers or biters—are very rarely on the level with each other when they're working as a team. I particularly recall notch spark-grafters got onto the fact that the proprietor of a certain restaurant started for his home on a Broadway car every night at 11 o'clock. They had rubbed on this man because he alighted flashy four-stone ammunition. The stones were the white boys and each of them looked to weigh about four carats. "The old restaurant man generally had a very good bun on when he took the car out to flashy four-stone ammunition. The pair of spark-grafters. So they fired a night to get that pin. They boarded the car in which the restaurant man sazed in the enjoyment of his regular magazine flag, and waited for the car to fill up with folks from the Broadway theaters. "The old chap, very gallant, got up to give a lady his seat. Then one of the small of the back, and the elbow of the small of the back, and he turned to put up a yelp the other one pincered the four-stone pin. It looked a good two thousand worth, anyhow, to the crook off the car, and made for the plant of the fence right off. The crook who had the pin handed the goods over to the man, and the confident grin. The fence took the pin. looked at it just once, spat on it and remarked: "You don't do 'din' in the rock candy line just now. Stop your kiddin'." The crook who hadn't collared the pin looked tremendously surprised and the crook who had collared the pin simulated surprise. "Do you fellers mean to tell me that you don't know this is a phone?" said a crook who hadn't collared the pin. "Well, sure enough, the piin was begun-fairly-sawed Brazil brillants. The crook who hadn't swiped the pin looked disappointed and gloomy and said that the crook who hadn't collared the piin have been twisted before in piping off the proper sort of rocks. The other crook chined in, and remarked that he'd never been swiped. Then the two spark-gratters separated. "The one who'd collared the pin and who had it in his kick all the time, took it to another fence and got $1,500 for it with the bogus of the genuine pin mads and the bogus was the one he run in on the first fence when he went there with his pal. The pal got next after a somewhat long walk and out that his suspicions were correct he chased after his ingenuous pardner and angrily demanded his bit. All he got for his was the muffful hoot, and that part was the bogus. And had thus been done by his pal passed the word around about it among his friends in the profession. They handed him the chorte, and the other crook was looked at by of them as the real thing for his foxness. "You take a bunch of leather worker... the kind that go through crowds at a circus, or in a fair grounds, or in a grand staircase, when a big parade is going on—and that's what a leather worker is like. Like hawks, that they're always suspicious of each other, and that they're always quarrelling themselves. The wise guy of a push of leather workers is the follow to whom the pocketbook is passed. The head of the head chief of the gang; but he's always under suspicion. The rest of the crowd always feel that he skins the leather before they join him, and as a simple matter of fact, he generally does. "We know bank snakes to dumpe each other, and we know that a twenty-years ago a wholesale candy manufacturer was standing at the head of the line before the receiving teller's window of an old East side bank. He was waiting back for a moment to resume his sleeper at the window. It was warm and the candy manufacturer wanted to mop his forehead. So he laid his bank book, which contained between its leaves a matter of $2,000 in bills, down on the floor and reached back for his handkerchief. "The sneak standing right back of him called his attention to the fact that he had dropped a bill, and sure enough, whea he looked down the merchant saw the bill on the counter. He was then that sneak No. 2 coloured the bankbook resting on the counter and slipped out with his pal—the one who had informed the merchant about that bill lying on the floor. When they got out they took cars going in different directions." The sneak with the dough didn't turn up that night at the place he had appointed to meet his pal, nor the night after that. Then the other crook got the hunch that he'd been ditched by his parting. He went right down to headquarters and made his holler. The other snake, who was on the walk all night, was collared on a Union Pacific train somewhere in Nebraska just two days later with all but about $50 of the goods on him. He did about three times the length his pal got. "Even the green goods workers of the old days used to give each other the boots whenever they got a chance. I'll just mention one case. A two-handed wristband was given to a come-on in Pennsylvania who wanted $50,000 of the stuff for $5,000. Now that was a pretty neat transaction, even in the days when the green goods were being sold here like so much yellow laundry. "Well, the game was beginning to get a bit in the shade then, and the head of this team was only waiting for a chance to make a proper yank-down before getting turned up on all right, the switch in the valleys was made as per schedule the good thing walked out with his bag of waste paper, and it was up to the team to make the equal divide. They had a bag of waste paper, and they had getting down to business, and the head guy of the partnership let his pal have the knock-out drops in his lilur. When the pal's light went out the other one waited away with the come-on's arm, and that firm was dissolved."—New York Sun. TRAITS OF MEXICAN INDIANS About the Only Ones in That Country of Pure Blood. It is a wonderful blend of races that is to make the Mexican population of the future; one sees Maya men of education with wives of the old blonde Gothic-hotels, Spanish schools, and all degrees of Aztec admixture, while in Oaxaca one notes the Zapatec strain. There is great hope for the Indian peoples of Mexico; they are, for the most part, clean of blood, and they are not on being educated, go far.

How a Subchief Obeyed His Superior's Orders. In one of the executive departments not a thousand miles from the Star building a young man fresh from the plains of the mountains pointed a subchief in one of the divisions. He had a misunderstanding with one of the clerks a few days after his advent, and he was told that he should discipline the clerk, as the latter happened to be in the wrong. "You must discipline him. Not harshly, but kindly," he him property," said the chief of division. "I don't like to do that," replied the Texan. "We can't take our likes and dislikes into consideration in government service in the administration of our duties," advised the chief. "Give him a gentle dressing down and sit down on him quick and hard. I hate to do it." "Can't help it. It's your duty. He is in a room by himself. No one will hear or see you. It will be good practice for you, as you will have to do it often. He's a little shy. That's the worst of it. If he were my idea, I'd like the sport better than branding and roping steers. However, having been a deputy sheriff I know what my duty means. When I was told to go out and get a cattle renter or a bad cowboy I had to come back to the court house first. Courte boss, so here goes. I hate to do it." Defective Page "Noneses," exclaimed the chief, "I're nothing. Report to me what he said." About a half an hour later the subchief asked, "What happened to your scratched and his clothing appeared some what rumped. Otherwise, his usually serious demeanor was unchanged. "I sat on that clerk for fifteen minutes," he said, quietly. "What?" shouted his sister. "For him he must move me by the clock. For him they fell he up a stiff fight. I bucked him, bound him and almost branded him from force of habit. But it was easy." "My God!" gasped the other man. "You said to be gentle with aim, you know. Holy smokes!" cried the chief, nearly painting. "You oh-yed my orders literally. I meant you to sit on him figuratively." "You didn't say a word about figures," responded the x-cowboy, sullenly. "You only for you to sit down on him literally." "You didn't say at all where I was to sit on him, but I sat there all right," said the former cowpuncher, desperately. "No, no, you don't understand," said the chief, when he recovered his breath. "You must be in a literal sense in Washington. You must be cows or fronter bandits, and you mustn't be so serious. When you are ordered to 'sit down on a clerk' it means in a figurative sense only, and you should him, to be thoroughly explicit this time, to be with your mouth. You mustn't actually sit on him gets out we will be the laughing stock of the office. I must fix it up at once."

Theodore Roosevelt's latest book is called "The Strenuous Life." He is the man to write such a book, for his own life is fily described by the adjective. It has been my good luck to have seen him during three of his most strenuous moments. When he was first under fire in warfare. When he was inaugurated governor of New York State. When he informed the news of his election to the vice presidency. I had gone to Cuba as the correspondent of a New York daily and learned that the rough riders were to go to the front the day after I lended. I also learned through the horribly profane remarks of an officer that I lost. Cold Roosevelt had no saddle, although he had a horse. I had no horse, but had several saddles. It was my advrients to send a saddle to the colored-which I have never seen since. Perhaps that may have had its effect on the fact that I was to go to the front with the regiment and be present at its first fight. At any rate, I went. It occurred the next morning. There were only a few men who knew just when we would be fired upon. I had to watch it of it, and, of course, the colonel did not fire. He dead Cuban and some abandoned camp fires—were salient. We found these signs, but for awhile there was no shooting. Roosevelt stood in a breach in a cave, and lying in the grove on the other side of the cave, as I watched him. The temperature was above 100 degrees. No one knew just what was coming, but we were all waiting for something to break loose. We never seen a man more apparently dead. Roosevelt was it showed on this face and the motion of his body. He twitched. His knak-tick figure had for its background the super green of an almost imperieenta Cuban jungle. The trail was narrow. Evidence for years more as a little path. Behind it a long distance it was filled with the soldiers from the West, most of them lying down as I was, because of the awful heat and the effects of the hard march, not known. I had been told, but scarcely believed it. Roosevelt knew and realized. As I have said, he was extremely nervous. He was not frightened, but every moment he came from excitement. He was walking away. Maurer raiser. If anything else had come it is hard to figure out what he would have done. He had one got behind him and said "Boo!" he would have jumped and might have run. That would have been unexpected. THE BIGGEST WORLD NEWS MAGAZINE him. But no one did. What he had expected happened. Some men had been in advance and they "got it." That first volley sounded like the crackle of a brush-wood fire greatly magnified. While the soldiers were jumping to their feet they were being rapidly given a strange metamorphosis, a expression of Roosevelt's face. He was no longer nervous. He became as calm as any man ever was, in combat, with the first song of the first bullets. He led his men into that jungle and he led them well. It was a strange example of the metamorphosis with expectation and the tremendous noise which may belong to the strong man with the coming of realization. Later, during that day, another phase of Roosevelt's character showed. A number of wounded men were lying under a tree. The group constituted the special victims. The men, victims. Roosevelt came around, and he was infinitely tender and kind. The men worshiped him. He went among us as we lay there on blankets in the rain. He was a little Scotch whisky that he had in a medicine bottle. For every man he had a pleasant word, and he knew each one's name. His sympathetic syllables were cut off as closely by those character traits. The railroad car spores during the recent campaign, but they meant a lot to us. To several men he paid more attention. The hospital corps overworked and Roosevelt as well as Gordon Wood went among the men. He and the rearranging the cartridge belt on which another rested his head. When he found an empty canteen he saw to it that it was filled, and as the little group men on the knoll grew, certainly no face showed more real distress than his. One illustration of that compose which came to him at the first firing attracted my attention during the fight. He was tired, and leaned against a small palm tree. Three times, while he stood there, this tree was hit, and once his eyes were filled with dart driven gots by the impact of the bullet. But he did not change his position. And that was the man under fire! When he was inaugurated governor of New York State the episode was less interesting because it lacked the element of chance. The ceremony was arranged he.

THE FULL VALUE OF NUTS HE forthcoming year-book of the department of agriculture, which is曼彻斯特市 government printing office, will contain the results of a number of experiments made during the past year and the direction of experimental stations. In part, as indicated by the materials, foods on the market and the discussions in papers and magazines of systems of diet in which nuts play a prominent part, the general interest in the subject. The elicitation of interest foods often seem extravagant and unreasonable. Apparently they lack any basis of experimental evidence, nor is it probable that the best known physiologist in a diet to the exclusion of more usual and generally accepted 'foods'. The composition and food value of a number of nuts have been studied by the California and Maine stations. Special nuts have also been reported by the Press and the chussetts stations. The following statements concerning the general characteristics of the nuts commonly eaten in this country are chiefly taken from the studies at the Maine station: The almond is a favorite desert nut in this country. By far the larger part of the almonds consumed is supplied by France, Italy and Spain. California, Germany and Spain are almonds successfully, and the output of this crop is annually increasing. The almond is used in confectionery, creams, cakes, etc. The Brazil nut, as its name indicates, is one of Brazil, whence it is exported in large quantities. It has been successfully grown in the United States. It is chiefly used as a desert nut. The filiberts found in our markets are chief varieties and crosses of two species, the European nut, and the European nuts, but have an agreeable flavor. The filibert is chiefly used as a desert nut, but the ground nut is sometimes used for confectionery and in other ways. In some European countries where almonds are commonly used of bread is made from the ground nut. The hickory nut, under which general name are, included the nuts of several species of native trees, of which the hickory is the most important, is one of our best-known nuts. The quality of the hickory nut is exceedingly variable, both in flavor and in the readiness with which the shell may be removed. The better varieties are lightly flavored, and the more refined to compare favorably in delicacy of flavor with the English walnut. Large quantities of the nuts are oatme, and they are sometimes used in making cakes and pastries. The pecan nut, in England, is designated the black walnut. The pecan (Hicoria pecan) is also a native of America, but is less widely distributed than the hickory, to which it is adapted. It makes it a desirable nut, but doubles owe much of its popularity to its thin shell and the ease with which the kernel may be removed. It is larger; used as a desert nut. Quantities are also used by the pecan, bonbons of various sorts, etc. The English or more properly Persian walnut (Juglans regia) has been successfully cultivated in several regions of the world, but owing to its general excellence, easily won its way to popular favor, reaching England, about the middle of the seventeenth century. It is a favorite denut fruit, and is also used by confectioners. What is most generally known as the walnut in the United States (the fruit of Juglans nigra and closely allied species) is a large nut, rich in oil, and has a strongly marked flavor. This nut is also used in the butternut, oil nut or white walnut (Juglans cinerea) is "extremely oily and has a tendency to become rinded. The fresh nut has an excellent flavor. It is commonly marketed with some other nuts. The beech nut is the fruit of a forest tree common in the eastern half of the United States. The nuts are sweet and of very agreeable flavor. Owing to their hardness, the consequent difficulty of gathering nuts is only a limited amount reaches the market. The plistachio, although a native of Syria, has long been cultivated in southern Europe, whence most of the nuts are grown. The nut has been grown to a limited extent in the United States. The kernel is greenish in color and has a mild, pleasant and characteristic flavor, suggestive of almonds. The nut is confectionery, ices, etc., being valued for its flavor and the delicate green color which it imparts. The coconut is a native of the tropics, it has been successfully grown in Florida. Only the mature nuts commonly find their way into the market, though the fruit of the green nut is available. Large quantities of the dried nut are consumed. Its uses for confectionery, cakes, etc., are numerous and well known. In many regions of the West and Southwestern varieties of pine nut are eaten. One of the fruits most commonly eaten in the United States under the name of nut is the peanut. Strictly speaking, this leguminous plant closely related to the bean. Probably three-fourths of the peanut, eaten are roasted. Part of the cheaper grades are used by confectioners for making salted peanuts and various forms of peanut candy; etc. A sweet and savory oil can be made from the peanut. It is pointed out by the Maine station that from 50 to 65 per cent of the nuts most commonly eaten (almonds, Brussels brazil nuts, walnuts) is shell. All these nuts contain little water. The protein is fairly high, but fat constitutes the largest part of the edible portion. The carbohydrates, the dietary fiber, and the vegetable foods, are present in only small amounts. The cheesemix is an exception, containing as it does, nearly 40 per cent. The nuts are also nutty, the nuts acorns and blunt nuts are also fairly high, says the synopsis of the yearbook. $2.40 PER YEAR. by the Washington Star. The meat of nuts, exceeding those last mentioned, contains eighty fifty times an much fat content, but only about half as hot as the carbohydrates as wheat flour, and has about double the fat value. A pound of unhelled nuts will tolerate about half as much energy as a pound of flour. Owing to their high fuel value and low protein content, nuts would not make a well-balanced food when eaten by themselves, but they can be used to supply themselves is also increased by the potential energy being stored in the concentrated form of fat. This is no reason, however, why nuts should not fill an increasingly larger proportion of the energy supply the needed nutrients in the proportion to form a well-balanced ration. Foods rich in fuel constituents need much less energy than the low-protein high protein content. The low percentages of carbohydrates in nuts would seem to fit them as one of the sources of food for diabetic and other persons who are unable to cook foods containing much starch or sugar. The chestnut differs materially from the six nuts mentioned above as most commonly eaten. It contains about the same amount of fat and six or seven times as much carbohydrates. Indeed, its high starch content explains why chestnuts are so little eaten. The total value of only ninety-six calories for each 0.01 pound of protein, and hence have a relative excess of protein. This is so unlike other vegetarian foods, where the relative of the peanut, as peas and beans, that it is of great importance. In this country nuts will probably never, to any great extent, replace the cereal bread. Chestnuts are the Old World. Not only would the original cost prevent, but the labor involved in shelling and preparing nuts for the extended use. Valle nut meats are generally eaten without any previous preparations, they may be used in a variety of ways. Chopped nut meats are much relished for their flavor and texture, and are common. The use of nut in cakes, confectionery, creme, cakes, has already been alluded to. Many attempts have been made to prepare nut foods and to extend their use in various ways. Peanuts butternut, almond, and walnut are of the more adaptable extent. This is said to consist of the kernels ground, with or without the addition of a small proportion of walnuts. The nuts, particularly the peanut and shearstun, afford interesting opportunities for the housewife skilled in adding to the list of "good things". Attention has been skilled to the fact that nuts form a very concentrated food. They should thereafter be used in baked bulky foods, and, except in the case with the peanut, with those richer in protein. There are no reliable data regarding the digestibility of nuts. The belief in their digestibility seems to be widespread, and perhaps seems to have fact. It is quite probable that if the nuts were properly prepared and eaten at proper times much of this preclude would disappear. Our present practice of preparing nuts in a dish or dessert, when sufficient food has been taken to meet the requirements of the body, overtakes the digestive organs and places the nut under a reproach that is, at least in part, undeserved. The fact that salt aids in the digestibility of nuts, and experience seems to bear out this opinion. Balloon's Good Source H. S. Pearse, war correspondent of the London Daily News, tells the following story of Gen. Buller: The general and Mr. Pearse came home in the same boat. Each evening the band cased "God Save the Queen" after dinner on deck of course, but Buller stood up and removed the bandier, a picture of Highlanders, however, remained seated and covered. The Britons were very angry, and it was feared that serious trouble might follow. The anxious captain privately consulted Gen. Buller, "Mr. he said, "I wish you would tell me what kind of trouble circumstances if you were commander of this ship." "Me," replied Buller, "should ask the band not to play 'God Save the Queen.'"

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1901. It seems that some folks, actually, can continue to make a statement which is, and they know it to be, absolutely false, until they believe it themselves. For instance, Gov. C. B. Aycock, of North Carolina, in a speech made at the annual dinner of the North Carolina Society in New York the other day, said: "That the suffrage law amendment to the constitution of the state was not really aimed at the Afro-American as an individual." But the governor is wrong. Suppose the legislature had made a law that only red-headed men could vote, would the suburn-haired, white-haired, black-haired and blonde-haired men believe that such a law was not aimed at them? The fact is the whites of the South, having the power to do so, have determined not to be air to their Afro-American brothers, under any circumstances. It is understood that the main object of the Alabama constitutional convention now in session is to frame a suffrage provision which will exclude from voting just as many Afro-Americans as possible while affecting as few whites as possible. He—I told Miss Anne Teek, in a joke, that when she smiled it was all I could do to keep from kissing her.

May 22—William Webb Ferguson has confessed that he fed poisoned candy to Dr. J. L. Barnes, an insane patient at Central hospital which caused his death. He gave as his reason for committing the murder an infatuation for Mrs. Barnes, who is a very attractive woman. Ferguson is an appearance but is educated and a very fellow.

Johnny-Don't ye wish ye was this gun? Tom Johnny-Cause it has been loaded for twenty years. The alleged fear of "Negro domination" is a mere bugbear used to scare the ignorant whites. There never has been any such thing and no such thing is likely to ever be. There has never been anything like a fair, equitable share of the political plums given to the Afro-Americans of the South, nor of the North. The white man wants it all and that's the cause of the trouble. In the South the voting strength made it possible for the Afro-Americans to help themselves to some of the things they wanted, so the whites want to stop them from voting and divide the plums among themselves alone. In the North, while in many cases the Afro-Americans actually hold the balance of power, which they fail to use, they are grudgingly given just enough sops to keep them from open revolt. Nothing is ever settled until it is settled right, so will it be with this "vexed problem" and the sooner the whites, who are the trouble breeders, come to this conclusion the better for all. They are not going to have altogether smooth sailing in the Alabama constitutional convention if there are only a few delegates like General William C. Oates, who says: "The suffrage clause should not, in terms, exclude any one from the elective franchise c on account of race, nor require an educational or property qualification, but intelligence and good character should be made the test. And, in order that no injustice be done, an appeal should be given from such decision to the courts. "The disfranchisement of the whole Negro race would be unwise and unjust. The Negroes constitute a large majority of our state population—over 800,000. Among them are many honest, industrious, and good citizens, capable of understanding the issues of a campaign. Such men are patriotic. When volunteers are wanted to fight our battles they furnish their quotas. "Who will say that Booker Washington, Council, Grant, Calhoun, and hundreds of other citizens of Alabama shall not vote if they choose? Shall they be excluded merely because they belong to the colored race? I say, no." To which the APPEAL says, amen! The twentieth anniversary exercises of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., which takes place May 26 to 30, ought to furnish an object lesson to the members of the constitutional convention which will be of value to all parties concerned. Few, if any other, institutions in the state can show like progress in the past two decades as this one managed by the people they say are too ignorant to exercise the right of suffrage. There is a feeling of gratitude throughout this land for the improved condition of the first lady of the land, Mrs. Wm. McKinley. Avance starved its possessor to fatten those who come after, and who are eagerly awaiting the demise of the accumulator.-Greville. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER SHE RECOGNIZED IT. She—Oh! Henry, you will break my heart! I caught the odor of your breath. New York, May 19—Fashionable circles in Jersey City were stirred yesterday by the announcement that the engagement between Miss Lizzie Rector and Dr. Thomas Tucker Wilkerson had been broken because the doctor had Negro blood in his veins, and any one, but not any, but one, but Dr. Wilkerson said the story was true. He said they became engaged last fall and that no time had been set for the wedding. Last February Mrs. Rector asked him for someone to come and tell her the truth about it," said he. "I have some Negro blood in my veins, not much, but just a trace. I have never posed as anything but a man and had no need to tell any one that I had even a trace of Negro blood in my veins. I could not believe me. I thought she had a right to know. Then she and her daughter decided to break the engagement, and I could make no objection. I was unable to graduate of the dental school of the University of Pennsylvania. He received his diplo- ma in 1896, and located in Jersey City. Mrs. Rector, mother of Dr. Wilkerson's former fancee, is the widow of Dr. Pierson Rector, a former United States army surgeon. She resides at No. 100 Grand street.

At Suffolk, Va., for stabbing with a knife Sampson Saunders, husband of a patient whom he was treating, John Turner, a medicine man, was in the county court fines $5 and given thirty days. Turner he was indicted for felony. Turner had undertaken to cure the woman, on whose case several doctors had failed. Some of the things he used in the preparation of his medicine were lizard liver, worms, and herbs. Saunders got leisure to the doctor's attention to his wife, and indicted him away. Saunders was stabbed during the fight that followed. Up to May 2 last the total contributions to the "conscience fund" of the Treasury Department amounted to $211,963.57. This is the fund to which the money sent to the treasury by persons in the anonymous restitution to U.S.兮桑 money, which they have received or taken from the government and to which they feel they are not entitled. The total contribution was received in 1811, and the largest year to $250. The smallest sum ever received in one year was $6 and the largest was $29,155.11.

Pearlina (Continued From First Page.) New York Sin man in him who the government the governors house was three mikes from the village of Oyster Bay, where the newspaper house had gathered. Our news came to us by telephone from our offices in New York. We had hoped great things of the telephone and materialize. An operator looked too long something or other when it was red-or-brown-and the result was telegraphic chaos, and, I think, the calaboose-for-could neither send nor receive news by telephone. When we were told, at ten minutes after 10 o'clock, that the result was assured, that there was no doubt of the election of the Republican ticket and that the memorable managers had given up the house. It was a long drive in the dark, and I remember that it was much colder than I had expected it to be. I had no overcaute with me. I borrowed a coachman's coat from the livery stable. Every window in the house was brilliantly lightened when we arrived. A party party had just risen from the table, and we sat in evening dress. The governor met us in the hall and we took him the gadgets in the hall and the newspaper correspondent must be non-partisan, but I think that he, as well as the other Republican managers, had been much heavier to worry over the result of the attack, and they had been willing to acknowledge. He was greatly delighted. Under the abbreviated tail of his dinner coat, his hands worked convulsively as he marched around the room, and said: "I am very glad that I was on my face." Each word was on all his words are, and the smile on his face was pleasant to our sight. He then took us all into the parlor, and asked us for fewer details than we had expected. We really made an effort to get all the news, but he did not seem to care about knowing other than the result in general. Then came the occurrence which made me think of that inauguration dayOccasion of the small score cheer had seemed to indicate that the fact that he was about to be inaugurated governor of New York. He suddenly turned to the Sun man, while we were trying to get our election figures ready and demanded: "What was the score of the football game?" The matter of his election to the vice presidency was over. He knew that he had been worried and that setcited it. He was no longer worried in that. He wanted to know how the football game had turned out. A curious thing happened earlier in the day when he went to vote. He was distressed and nervous, as he had been worried in Cuba began. He forgot that it was necessary, a blank ballot into the booth with him after he found the polling place, and so when he got inside he could not be excused for this did not come to his excuse simply because that there was something simply asked for help. A kind hearted citizen of Oyster Bay came along and showed him how to prepare and cast his ballast, which he certainly knew as well as any one could, but he was rattled. And that is the man. He is nervous and excitable. The little things of life he thinks not very much about. The big things on which he concentrates his mind, and does them.—Edward Marshall, in Atlanta Constitution. ```markdown ``` The aim of this school is to do practise that is important to the ministry.

He demonstrated the fact that 4 troubled heart was not a necessary factor to our existence, but the resuit of some Kind of sin. 'Unbeliet seems to be the door to the divers sins lodged in the heart of man, and when Jesus spoke the werds ‘He that believeth in God believeth also in me,” He had in mind the contradistinetive worst ‘unbe- bellet.” “Let us note the fruits of. un belief as applied to our daily lite.

Confidential Man for President of Billion Dollar Trust Mr. Joseph L. Ray, head of the information bureau of the Carnegie Steel Works in Pittsburgh, is in the city. He is here for the purpose of arranging for the construction of a private car for Charles M. Schwab, president of the United Steel Company generally referred to as the billionaire, to be built by the Pullman Company and to cost $35,000, this being the price Mr. Ray agreed to Wednesday. Mr. Ray, to whose care has been intrusted all of the details of the contract, is one of the most pictureque figures in the employ of the United Company. Of the many thousand employees of the huge corporation perhaps he stands the closest "to its president." is about all there is to some advertisements, especially in the clothing business. It is absolutely necessary to convince an intelligent buyer that he is buying a $15.00 or $20.00 suit for $5.00. For the past two days Mr. Ray has been busy inspecting the various models for private palace cars in the offices of the Pullman Company. He has several trips to Pullman. After a threemonth visit to the plans of cars now in the Pullmanaires, he decided that what Mr. Schwab wanted was something a trifle superior to and more complete than any yet made. The usual price of a palace car is, roughly speaking, $40,000. Ray was empowered to same double sum, or even more provided the car was built just exactly as the Mr. Schwab desired. That isn't our way of doing business. We claim to, and do make, the best Suits and Overcoats to order, that can possibly be produced for the money—$20.00 to $45.00.

How to obtain domestic servants—that is a problem which the Women's Industrial Council is just now taking a very active part in endeavoring to solve, says the London Telegraph. With this object a sub-committee of Business met at the council's office in Business Street, Strand, order to hear the view of the managers on the subject. The committee is doing its best to get light thrown on the matter from every available source, and gave close attention to Mr. Mighels' suggestion for the formation of a domestic servants' brigade, with military organization, training and rigid condition of service, so far as hours, wages, food and sleeping accommodations are concerned. A similarity it may be mentioned, has already been the case with a very far amount of success, Mr. Mighels, who is an American, suggests that a company might be floated for the purpose of erecting barracks where girls could be gathered together from various sources, and thoroughly trained in all branches of domestic work. Before such girls went out into service, he would stipulate with their employers that the hours of work should be limited to the day, and that the conditions regulating their employment should correspond with those under which girls work in factories. Such conditions, he feels sure could be secured, as it is well known that the amount of work is only equal to about one-tenth of the demand. It has been proved, he points out, that the Metropolitan Association for Befriending Servants has only been able to work with twenty two who applied with what they twenty who applied with what they institution which the institution which the suggests comes into being, Mr. Mighels, considers that it would be advisable for girls to register themselves for two years, during which time they should subscribe, say 25 per week to the funds; and, in the event of their being out of employment any time, they should be allowed to return to the barber and act in the capacity of instructors to the probationary. Whether this scheme will come to anything or not remains to be seen. It will be considered by the committee before whom it was laid. People often wonder how the natives in Africa contrive to transmit news with apparently miraculous rapidity across miles of bush and desert. The explanation is a simple one. They use the telephone. The Sudanese use telephone is nothing like the one in the international countries. It is of two kinds—a hard tape and a tam-tam. The tasm can be made to transmit seven distinct notes, by means of a slice of tree bark, which is placed on the outside of the tasm at varying distance from the mouthpiece. By means of this instrument sounds can be heard at a distance of 200 meters, and mesages are frequently transmitted as much as 200 miles in a single day by these primitive telephones. In its forcoming bulletin the State Board of Health will say the people of Indiana lose $15,000 a day on account of the adulteration of common food products. An investigation of the matter by the board will wide spread adulteration efforts, a ysis of a sample of coffee, taken to the office of the board at the state house shows the sample to contain 10.5 percent of moisture and borax. Unadulterated roasted coffee should not contain more than 4 per cent water, the board says, and the sample amounted to 11.2 percent Indianapolis News. MOST WORSHIPPEL GRAND LODGE OF MINNESOTA, A. P.
