Her skull was death being instantaneous, ary insanity is given as the hospital authorities, son, who came from England was sent to the hospital ago and four days ago upon. Sunday she was nicely and apparently was San Francisco, May 10—With the increasing severity of regulations for the "bread line" Gen. Greely has hopes of soon eliminating from the relief lists a large percentage of the persons now receiving free food. It is becoming more difficult every day for baked men to secure their army rations. When a healthy looking man presents himself he is frequently confronted by an offer of employment, and if he refuses to take work he is denied relief. Decreasing Relief Output. The women also must prove beyond doubt that they are "in need of assistance" Already there is a big decrease in the daily output of supplies and the officials expect that by June 1 their labor will be practically ended. The sale of liquor in neighboring cities will be the San Francisco police much trouble. Will Take Canada's Money. Mayor Schmitz elected applause by reading the following telegram at a meeting of the reconstruction committee yesterday: "Toronto, May 8. — The Canadian parliament voted $100,000 for the re-election of San Francisco which was defeated. The governor still awaiting acceptance. Will you take it if offered direct. Please rush answer. — Toronto Daily Star." Mr. Phelan was asked to answer the message at once in the affirmative. Paric Sends Money. Paris is sending its contributions direct. Raphael Well walled the following message to his house in Paris: "Lazardfrees & Co.: Washington government refused foreign contributions. Distress very great. Can you start subscriptions to relief here direct. Would be most welcome." The following reply was received: "American chamber of commerce in Paris has opened subscription amounts allowing so many frames, of which 75,000 frames already forwarded by mail to Mayor Schmitz." Counterfeiters are at work and the city is flooded with bogus 25-cent pieces. The coins have a scorned and dull appearance as though they had been through the confaguration. GRAND JURY MADE ERRORS. Many Victims Strew Path of Vigorous ly Wielded Muck Rake. Milwaukee, May 10. — That the grand jury which last year found 234 indictments made several serious errors is becoming daily more evident. Victims strew the path of the vigorously wielded muck rake. Case after case of alleged grafting, when tried, has resulted in verdicts of not guilty. In every one of these cases, the charges charged during the trin, and with sufficient diligence, satisfy the jurymen, that the charges were preferred by men who hated the accused and who had hoped to ruin their enemies by securing their indictment for alleged boodling. Three have died under the charges, one by suicide, and Monday the sister-in-law of the suicide went to a sanitary, insense as a result of the charges brought against the member of her family. TO WAIT FOR SHIPS OF WAR: Sultan Will Do Nothing Till British Guns Menace Constantinople. Constantinople, May 10—it is generally believed here that the sultan will not yield, during the ten days of grace, but will await Britain's plan of action, as he does not expect serious aggression on the part of a traditionally peace-loving government. There is no doubt that Turkey will yield, once she is convinced of Britain's determination to fight, if immediate satisfaction is not accorded it, but bloodless demonstrations have lost their terrors for Turkey. If the demonstration is confined to an island of the Aegean sea, the sultan will reopen the discussion, perhaps securing a moral victory, as in the demonstration of the powers last December. The demonstration most calculated to obtain settlement is by forcing the Dardinelles, followed by evolutions before Constantinople. WOULD-BE ASSASSINS NABBED They Had Planned to Kill Caceres, President of Santo Domingo. San Domingo, May 10—It has be come known that the authorities, on Sunday, discovered a plot to assassi- ate President Caceres as he was leaving the theater. Several arrests have been made. Shots were ex- changed last night, near the city, be- ween rural guards and supposed re- volutionists. The city and its sur- roundings are calm now. Woman at a St. Paul Hospital Kills Herself. St. Paul, May 9—Mrs. A. Clemenson, forty-eight years old and a patient at St. Joseph's hospital, arose from her bed shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning, went to the window of her room on the third floor, shattered the glass with a heavy water pitcher and plunged through the jagged hole to her death on the flagged court forty-four years ago, was fractured, death being instantiated, from an insanity is given as the cause by the hospital authorities. Mrs. Clemenson, who came from Emmons, Minn., was sent to the hospital about a week ago and four days ago was operated upon. Sunday she was progressing nicely and apparently was on the road to recovery. GIRL STUDENT IS SHOT. Lillian Bell of Fort Pierre Wounded When on Pleasure Train When on Pleasure Trip. Vermilion, B. D., May 9. — Lillian Bell, a student at the state university and a daughter of Senator Warren Young from pluto, is believed to be dying from pluto, accidentally inflicted. The young lady is now on Nebraska Bluus yesterday on pleasure faunt, and with a number of other young women was shooting at a mark with a revolver. Just how the tragic accident happened is not known. The victim was taken to a Stoux City hospital. It is feared the bullet penetrated the intestines. FIRES BALL THROUGH HEAD H. M. Wilson of Eagle Grove, Iowa Killis Hinself Webster City, Iowa, May 9—H. M. Wilson of Eagle Grove committed suicide yesterday morning by shooting himself through the head with a 38-caliber revolver. His wife was getting breakfast when she heard the report of a gun from his bedroom, and, upon entering, found him lying upon the floor, the ball having entered the forehead. Dependency was probably the cause. A wife and two sons survive him. Wilson was forty years of age. FIRE IN RESTURANT. Blaze Starts in Kitchen of Wolverton on Robert Street. St. Paul, May 9. — Shortly before 3 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the kitchen of the Wolverton restaurant, 341 Robert street. The blaze spread rapidly and the inside of the rear part of the building was ablaze when the firemen arrived. The fire spread to the front part of the restaurant, which is in a three-story brick structure and threatened the building. The blaze was headed off promptly, causing a loss of $200. HOLY ROLLER SHOT DEAD. Seattle Laborer Avenues an Alleged Wrong to His Sister. Seattle, May 9—Frank E. Creeff, leader of the so-called religious organization known as the Holy Rollers, was shot in the head and instantly killed yesterday by George Mitchell, a laborer aged twenty-three years. Mitchell was arrested, asserted that Creeff had his wife and two sisters. Creeff and his wife were walking down First Avenue when Mitchell had followed them, addressed a remark in a low tone to Creeff and then shot him. SEE WHOLE WORLD GAMBLING Iowa Couple, Imagining Slaughter Will Come. Go to Asylum Newton, Iowa, May 9.—Florence and Byron Finley of Monroe, aged forty-five and sixty years, respectively, were committed to the state hospital for the insane yesterday. They had a halucination that everybody was gambling and that hundreds would be killed in a melee to follow. They have been supported by a millionaire capitalist of the same name. Iowa Student Wins Honors. Cedar Falls, Iowa, May 9.—John L. Ghereny of a popular student of the Iowa state normal school, won first place on three counts at the interstate normal oratorical contests, which were held in Warrensburg, Mo.

St. Paul, May 11. — Joseph Albert Wheelock, the veteran editor of the Pioneer Press, died at his home, 241 Summit avenue, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Wheelock's reputation as a journalist was national and he will have a place in the memory with such editors as Greeley, Dana, Bennett and Bowles, with whom he was contemporaneous.

During the winter Mr. Wheelock enjoyed better health than was usual him for the three years he wintered in California. But the high altitudes reached on the trip across the mountains seriously affected his heart action, due to the bronchial trouble, from which Mr. Wheelock had suffered for years, and was arrived in St. Paul his condition was alarming to members of his family. Death a Shock to City. Mr. Wheelock's death was not entirely unexpected to members of his family and to personal friends who knew of his long illness weakening constitution, but the news was a shock to those who supposed that the winter seasons in California were giving him permanent relief. When the word was passed around town and in the homes of the city that Mr. Wheelock was dead, many were the expressions of sorrow. The people of St. Paul, and particularly the older generation, felt each an individual loss in the passing away of the man who for half a century had been among the foremost in promoting St. Paul, Minnesota and the Northwest. One Key Note in Sorrow. There was one key note in the expression of news of the death of Joseph A. Wheelock spread yesterday, and that was the least the city, the state and the Northwest was a personal grief in the comments of the men who have grown old with Mr. Wheelock in the region they have helped develop; they miss an old friend. The younger generation, who are enjoying the structure reared on the foundation the pioneers laid, an Washington, Pa. May 11—Twenty county jail prisoners, composing the squad used in cleaning public streets, went on a strike which lasted until they were supplied with their daily allowance of tobacco. Heretofore the county commissioners had supplied the prisoners with tobacco, but an order was issued that no more be furnished. The sheriff appealed to the commissioners, who rescinded the order. Defective Page prelated more the rite judgment of Mr. Wheelock's later years. Men in public life recognized in Mr. Wheelock a force always for the public good. Many knew only of his public work and they were impressed by the power of his intellect, his clear reasoning, his sound judgment, and his force of expression, or his devoted work for the State. But many, who knew him personally, pressed as much by the man as by his work; they saw in him the traits that endured him to all that came in personal contact with him. City's Token of Respect. Mayor Smith early in the day issued a proclamation calling public attention to Mr. Wheelock's death and directing that all city offices be closed at the time of the funeral. The flag on the city hall was lowered to half-mast. A special meeting of the common council was called for this afternoon for purpose of obtaining appropriate relief for opening Wheelock's life work and services for the city. Wielded Great Influence. Joseph A. Wheelock was a striking personality, a character of great force, and, what is more rare, of great life and integrity. In proportion to the influence he wielded, the meager obituary of names and dates will come to the reader with suggestive force. He was identified with many movements; he was an advocate of every cause in which honor and high purpose played a part, but his relation was always such that, while he stamped the mark of his character upon it, the praise and ERT WHEELOCK. Press—Born Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, St. Paul, Minn., May 9, 1906. plaudits fell upon men whose leader ship he supported. Man of High Ideals He was one of the few old-time editors whose personality is recent years has been identified with his work in the public mind. By all who knew him it has been said that his influence was always used to attain the highest ends and aims. He was a man who did not care for the accumulation of wealth. He had neither the faculty nor taste for it. His aims and his interests took him out of the sphere of money-getting. He was a publicist. The person, the selfish element of his nature, was subordinated to his larger desire for a fubilic good. As a result his obituary, as for a tangible facts go, is meager. In the consideration of influences it is unbounded. Half a Century of Work. Mr. Wheelock was born at Bridge-town, Nova Scotia, Feb. 8, 1831. He was educated at the Sackville academy, coming to St. Paul in 1850. He was state commissioner of statistics under Gov. Ramsey, 1860-61, and postmaster under President Grant, 1871-75. Mr. Wheelock's first newspaper work was in 1855 or the year following, when he was employed to conduct a real estate paper in St. Paul. He included the St. Paul Press in 1861, since the time he was connected with the Press as successor, the Pioneer Press, until his death. Mr. Wheelock was married in May, 1861, to Miss Kate French at Concord, N. H. He is survived by Mrs. Wheelock and three children, Webster Wheelock, associate editor of the Pioneer Press, and Katrina and Elen Wheelock Detroit, Mich., May 11. — A News special from Colchester, Out, says the M. C. Wilcox of Vermillion, Ohio, lies sunk there, a quarter of a mile from above. The decks are under water, but there are evidences that the crew escaped.

EXPOSES CRIMES OF THE OIL TRUST PRESIDENT GRILLS THE OCTOPUS IN SPECIAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS, Washington, May 6. — President Roosevelt yesterday transmitted to congress the report of James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, giving the results of his investigation of transportation and freight rates in connection with the oil industry. The president expresses the view that the report is of capital importance because of the effort now being made to secure such enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce companies will confer upon it power to meet the determined needs of the situation. The facts in the report, he declares, are for the most part not disputed. Trust Profits Enormously That the Standard Oil company has benefited enormously, up almost to the present moment, by secret rates, many of which were clearly unlawful, the president says the report clearly shows, the benefit thereby secured amounting to at least three-quarters of a million a year. On this subject he says: "This three-quarters of a million annually represents the profit that the Standard Oil company obtains at the expense of the railroads; but, of course, the ultimate result is that it obtains a much larger profit at the expense of the public. Corrected When Caught. "A very striking result of the investigation has been that shortly after the discovery of these secret rates by the commissioner of corporations, the major portion of them were promptly corrected by the railroads, so that most of them have now been done away with. This immediate correction, partial or complete, of the evil of the secret rates, is of course, on the one hand an acknowledgment that they were wrong and yet were persevered in until exposed; and on the other hand a proof of the efficiency of the work that has been done by the bureau of corporate Prosecute. Prepares to Prosecute. The statement is added that the department of justice will take up the question of instituting prosecutions in at least certain of the cases, and the hope is expressed that congress will enact into law the bill of Senator Knox to correct the interpretation of the immunity provision rendered in Judge Humphrey's decision. Continuing, the president says: "But in addition to these secret rates the Standard Oil profits immensely by open rates, which are so arranged as to give it an overwhelming advantage over its independent competitors." Gross Favoritism Enriches. It says: "To give it, to put into figures the exact amount by which the Standard profits through the gross favoritism shown it by the railroads in connection with the open rates." "The profit, of course, comes not merely by the saving in the rate itself as compared with its competitors, but by the higher prices it is able to charge by the complete control of the market it secures, thereby getting the profit on the whole consumption." The president calls attention to that feature of the report regarding the market price it is evaded by treating as state commerce, what in reality is merely a part of interstate commerce. Thwarts the Law. He says it is clearly shown "that this device is employed on the New York Central railroad, as well as on many other railroads, in such fashion as to amount to thwarting the purpose of the law, although the forms of the law may be complied with." It is unfortunately not true, he says, that the Standard Oil company is the only corporation which has benefited from the growing in wholly improper fashion by an elaborate series of rate discriminations. The sugar trust, he adds, according to the investigation now in progress, rarely if ever pays the lawful rate for transportation. He favors as an element of competition the passage of some such law as that which has already passed the house, putting alcohol used in the arts on the free list and of keeping the fee tribes or on the public domains in the government, the lands to be leased only on such terms and for such periods as will enable the government to entirely control them. Eight Men Are Found Unconscious as Result of Explosion. New York, May 4. — Eight unconscious men were taken out of the McAdoo tunnel under the Hudson river, connecting Jersey City and Manhattan island, yesterday, after an explosion in the depth of the tunnel. Five of them were removed to hospitals in Jersey City, and four were not expected to recover. The explosion was supposed to have been caused by gas. GARFIELD UNEARTHS CRIMES. Trust Profita Enormously Through Illegal Rebating. Taking up the output of refined oil, Mr. Garfield finds that it amounts to about 80,000,000 barrels annually, of which the Standard Oil company directly and indirectly controls about 23,000,000 barrels and approximately the same proportion of the other finished products of petroleum. Continuing, the report says: Obtained by Unfair Methods. The Standard clips that the location of its refineries and the use of pipe lines are natural advantages to which it is justly entitled by reason of the energy and foreseen of its managers. While in a measure this is true, it must not be forgotten that these advantages were in part obtained by means of unfair competitive methods after years of fierce industrial state. "The development of the pipe line system by the Standard Oil company was the result of special agreements with railroad companies. Monopolistic Control. "Furthermore, those so-called natural advantages have been and are being greatly increased by discrimination in freight rates, both published and secret, interstate and state, which give the standard monopolistic control in SAMES RUDOLPH GARFIELD. Commissioner of Corporations. the greater portion of the country, and which so limit competition as to practically prevent the extension of the business of any independent to a point which even remotely endangers the supremacy of the Standard. Exorbitant Profits "An immediate result of this delimitation of the competitive area is shown by the prices of ordinary illuminating oil throughout the country. After deducting the freight rate the price of such oil is usually from 2 to 5 cents a gallon higher in the non-competitive than in the competitive fields. A reasonable profit upon refined oil is about one-half a cent per gallon. It is that exorbitant profits are obtained from this monopolistic control extends from the well of the producer to the doorstep of the consumer." Nails a Lie. Mr. Garfield cites the fact that only the New York Central Railroad company refused for itself and affiliated lines to give access to records of state rates. At the beginning of the investigation, he says, "the Standard Oil company denied that it had obtained in recent years, or is now obtaining, any rebate or other transportation discrimination, and yet a careful review of the facts and the explanations leads to the conclusion that the Standard Oil company has habitually received from the railroads, and is now receiving, secret rates and other unjust and illegal discriminations." Save $750,000 a Year. In 1904 these secret rates saved to the Standard Oil company three-quarter of a million dollars, representing the difference between the open rates and the rates actually paid. "These discriminations," he says, "have been so long continued, so secret, so ingeniously applied to new conditions of trade and so large in amount as to make it certain that they were due to concreted action by the Standard and the railroads." Just Discriminations. He says further, that the Standard Oil company is receiving unjust discriminations in the matter of open rates, the published rates from the leading Standard shipping points being relatively much lower than rates from the shipping points of its competitors. Mr. Garfield then refers to seven instances of important discriminations in favor of the Standard Oil company in various parts of the country, and says that most of the secret rates and some of the open discriminations discovered by the company railroads shortly after such discovery. After calling attention to the good which already has resulted from the investigation., Mr. Garfield says that the changes effected have put the independents upon a fairer footing and make competition possible in territories heretofore inaccessible. Oakes Girl is Bitten and Strict Order Follows. Oakes, N. D., May 4—The five-year-old daughter of O. H. Growe was bitten by a dog yesterday and is now in a serious condition from the effects of fright and of the wound she received. When the mayor heard of the affair he called a special meeting of the city council and an order was issued directing that all unmuzzled dogs found on the streets should be shot. $2.40 PER YEAR. TO PAY LOSSES IMMEDIATELY INSURANCE COMPANIES' WEL- COME NEWS FOR SAN FRANCISCO. ALSO MAKE CONCESSIONS THAT WILL HASTEN THE WORK OF REBUILDING. San Francisco, May 11.—Financial interest yesterday centered in an announcement from the insurance companies that in the immediate future they will begin to pay losses. It is believed that most of the money will peel into general circulation and thus relieve the city as no other means could. This news was welcome, not only to the policyholders but also to the banks. The announcement was official to the extent that it was given to the subcommittee of the citizens general committee and reported at the general committee's daily meeting. Save All They Can. The insurance interests also made the concession that salvage operations may be proceeded with. Policyholders may save anything they can find without fear of risking the loss of their claims for insurance. To great extent the work of demolishing walls and clearing away debris has been postponed because of the regarding attitude the insurance companies take and the work of contracting and wrecking companies has been deferred awaiting such a definite statement as that made by the companies yesterday. Fix Scale of Wages At the meeting of the reconstruction committee a resolution was adopted declaring, that the wages for public and private employment at ordinary and unskilled labor shall be $2.50 for nine hours. This rate has been fixed by the building trades council. "They pay, you men some thing at a rate daily, that they may be able to pay for their meals," was the request made by Gen. Greeley. "We are establishing 15-cent kitchens and if the men can have their wages promptly it will greatly assist the work of relief. Yesterday's applications for relief show a decrease of 10,000." TRAIN HOLDUP IS VERY BOLD. Imperial Limited Robbed by Three Bandits, Near Kapokov, B. C. Kanloops, B. C. May 11—Suddenly confronted by the gleaming barrels of three revolvers held in the hands of a trio of deserberries, the engineer of Canadian Pacific Passenger Train No. 9—the Imperial Limited—was ordered to stop his engine when eleven miles east of Kanloops at midnight last night. Seeing that resistance was useless, the engineer compiled. While one man kept the engineer and fireman covered, the other two uncoupled the mail car from the rest of the train. The engineer was ordered to start the engine and the mail car was run ahead for a distance of two miles, when, considering the distance safe, the robbers broke open the mail car, and some of the sacks were riffed. How much booty was obtained is not known. The robbers were under the impresion that the express packages were in the mail car, but when they found that the express was in another car they had not nerve enough to go back for it. After the sacking of the mail bags the robbers returned to the engine and again ordered the engineer to drive full speed ahead. After a distance of over a mile had been covered the engine was slowed down. With a last warning to the engineer the trio alighted and escaped into the darkness. Large Armed Force Placed Around Coal Mine at Harwick. Pittsburgh, May 11. — The armed guard has been increased at the Harwick mine of the Allegheny Coal company, in anticipation of trouble Saturday, when the striking miners are evicted from the company houses. No violence has been shown as yet, but the company officials fear an outbreak at any time. Groups of strikers are congregating on the streets, non-union mines are insulted and the feeling is ugly. The order to move followed the refusal of the miners to accept the terms offered by the company. So far but one family of the seventy-five still remaining at Harwick has obeyed the eviction decree. NICARAGUA OFFICIAL SLAIN. Minister at Washington Receives New by Cable. Washington, May 11. — Mr. Corea, the Nicaraguan minister here, yesterday received a cabelgram stating that Aldofo Altamirano, the Nicaraguan minister, foreign affairs, has been assassinated. The state department to-day received a diplomatic from Mr. Bailey, the American charge at San Jose, Costa Rica, confirming the report of the assassination, but giving no details.

SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1906. THE RACE AND THE MUCK RAKE THE RACE AND THE MUCK HAKE. Every Afro-American should feel deafened to the President for the prominence being given to man with the rake. It is true that the President did not allude to the fact that races as well as individuals are the victims of the muck-raker, but nevertheless, such is the case, and the African-American, for a long period, has been the bers of the guild. In his case there has been for a long time "an epidemic of indiscriminate assault upon character." The mass of the African-American population is composed of honest, industrious, faithful workers, but the muck-raking Associated Presa takes very creditable characterisate of the best and to give great prominence to every action of the loafers, bummers and vagabonds. The race has given birth to poets, poets, orators and scholars, but their achievements receive very little attention while the evil deeds of the criminal are exploited with hysterical exaggeration. The President's scourging of the muckraker is timely and needs to be applied in many directions not contemplated by him. For instance, how strikingly it applies to such a break as tendonion, when the President remarks: "The fool who has not sense enough to discriminate between what LION, JOHN D. CAMMION HON. JOSEPH G. CANNON. Celebrates His Seventieth Birthday at Washington. HON. JOHN S. DURHAM. Ex-Minister to Haiti—Owner of Immente Plantations, in Cuba.

The guests talked a good deal about The guests talked a good deal about noticed that everything was for him is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad. THE RULE OF THE MOB. Upon the subject of lynching, prominent Democrat entertain as widely divergent opinions as they do upon other questions of morals and politics. Senator Tillman arises in the Senate and unreservedly justifies this form of atrocious lawlessness. On the contrary Governor Folk of Missouri, denounces the Springfield lynchers as "cowardly assassins upon whom the state has been inflicted." The murder should be inflicted by the law." Commenting upon this utterance of Gov. Folk, the Chicago Inter-Ocean remarks: "Not one circumstance of the case justifies, excuses, or even pallates the murder that was done. Those who did the deed are simply the brutal and cowardly murderers." And it will be seen that the Democratic governor is as emphatic in denunciation of the crime as a strong Republican newspaper. This may be taken as an evidence that sensible men are rapidly coming to the conclusion that the country can no longer afford to be so violent in their thugs. Public sentiment is fast reaching the point when it will demand and enforce the hanging of a few lynchers. ROSSWELL PAGE'S ROT At the Hampton commencement, Rosswell Page, a brother of Thomas Nelson Page said: "I stand here to congratulate you on being Negroes. You don't want to be white men. You want to be Negroes. I don't want the Negro to go. I want him to stay in Virginia and be good citizen." Why Afro-Americans who live in Virginia and are subject to the infamous class of that infamous commonwealth, should be congratulated on being "Negroes" is beyond the comprehension of THE APPEAL. As well, congratulate a soul on residence in the Virginia. In Virginia the Afro-American who is a good citizen is not nearly so well treated as a Caucasian. Criminal character in an Afro-American counts of nothing in Virginia. If Rosswell Page were a true friend of the oppressed he would use his voice against the wrongs heaped upon him. The Negro in Virginia is not a subject for; congratulation. A MODERN ANANIAS. At the Virginia Day exercises at Hampton Institute, Governor Swanson of Virginia made a speech and had the supreme nerve to say: "I feel kindly toward the colored race and I am anxious to see the race go on." He said he would say too that the people of Virginia have always felt kindly toward the colored race." The people of Virginia who happen to be in control have shown their kindly feeling by endeavoring in every way possible to reduce to parliaments the Afro-Americans who constitute about one-third of the population and contribute to the success of the standing of the state. Swanson, has within three months as governor signed the infamous law which compels all of the common car- e in Washington, from the President's city at the Arlington Monday evening, versary of the birth of Speaker Candice A. Capitol at his line of this colf the Capitol at his back, and with the f flowers that covered the entire end of y 1,200 friends who came with their s of congratulations. t the Speaker for President, and it was — Democrats and all. views in the state to provide Jim Crow cars for the leaders towards whom he "feels so kindly." Governor Swanson is evidently a direct descendants of Ananias. THE SUWANEE RIVER In a recent address Prof. Kelly Miller says: "What song yet ascribed to the glory of Hall Columbia, equals in power of pathetic appeal and strength of local pride. What song, in quest of the slave for his home land, Way Down Upon the Swauce River." If the professor had been properly informed, he would have known that "Way Down Upon the Swauce River" is not a slave song, but was composed by an accomplished Caucasian musician who was closely related by marriage to President Buchanan. The song was played at Mr. Foster's funeral. To suppose an ignorant Afro-American or ignorant man of any race to have been the subject of such a masterpiece is as reasonable as such that he be the author of Newton's Principia, or a treatise upon Integral Calculus. PRESIDENT THIRKIELD The Rev. Wilbur P. Thirkield, D. D., has been elected president of Howard University to succeed Rev. John Gordon who was allowed to resign several times. Dr. Thirkield is well known in educational circles. He is the founder and former president of Gammon Theological Seminary for which institution he obtained an endowment fund of a half million dollars. He served four years Dr. Thirkield has been corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid and Southern Education Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The trustees of Howard University are to be congratulated on the selection of Dr. Thirkield as he is a man of learning and wisdom; he is absolutely without race prejudice. UNCLE JOSEPH CANNON Illinois is proud of her adopted son, Joseph G. Cannon. The reception tendered the Speaker in honor of his seventieth anniversary, Monday night at Washington, shows no country without regard to creed or country, love and revere Our Uncle Joseph. A man is as old as he feels; and, judging by that standard, Uncle Joe is about forty. Joseph G. Cannon is a type of the rumpus American citizen. If Uncle Joseph wants to be president, Illinois is with him. A month ago, a lot of Italians and Greek laborers was imported from Chicago to Kentucky to construct the Hopkinson branch of the Illinois Central Railway. At the end of the month a majority of the force struck for light wagons. He walked head of in a body, leaving the company without sufficient number of men to prosecute the work. Such is the usual result of the attempts to displace Afro-American labor in the South. The business men of that section show no country without regard to creed or country, love and revere Our Uncle Joseph. JUST HER STYLE. "The new straight dress." "Will you show me one of those straight-fronted corsets, please?" CULIVATE REPOSE FRIENDLY ADVICE TO THE FID- GETY SCHOOLGIRL. Serenity One of the Most Charming of Gritish Traits—Anger a Foe to Health and Happiness—The Art of Sitting Still — Gentle Courtesey Robs Life of Its Friction—As a N ation, We Are All Marching on the Double Quick. BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER I doubt very much whether girls between 13 and 16 ever appreciate the importance of knowing how to sit still. This is one of the lessons we learn at school, and it is fully as valuable as any lesson in science or literature, or any other department in which we are instructed. Girls are often fidgety, jumping up and rushing about when there is no need for restless activity, and changing their posture until look-see. Unless they are fatigued to other people, when we are young we soldier on the art successfully when we are older. I can think of a famous man whose name is honored wherever it is heard. He has one fault of manner that he has never overcome; he cannot sit still. In a drawing room he wrigles and fidgets and actually when excited bounces up and down like a ball, and hostesses invariably take the precaution to seat him in their strongest chairs. In church he slips down in front of the pew, leans his head on the railing, contorts himself in queen fashion, and furnishes entertainment for肄俘ors and annoyance to the minister. All could have been aethetically had anybody taken pains to teach the man how to sit still in his boyhood girlhood is serenity. It would pay a father should he spend much money in having his pretty daughter taught outward repose. "How can I be calm and placid?" asks Josephine, "when I am bubbling up and efferent inside? How can I look tranquil when I am angry and disturbed?" The questions are well put, although they touch opposite aspects of the case. It is natural that girls should be bubbling up, and high spirits. A dull, stupid girl, who is angry and who does not care about good times is so exceptional that we are sure she is ill and, if we are sensible, send for the doctor to look her over and tell us what to do. But one may be bright and cheerful, may laugh and be merry, and yet be so self-restrained that she will not let her fun break in upon the quiet of her friends, or so faze herself as to force it upon them. If they are not so restrained, who has learned to sit still, controls her fun just as she does every other act and state of body and mind. As to being angry and disturbed, I must say plainly that such tempers in girlhood are very unwholesome. Anger in most circumstances is a foe to health and happiness, and is like a snake in the grass or an enemy within; the gates in its effect upon character. Very few people can afford to indulge anger. It is the most polished and upseason of passions, and leads to no trouble. If you want to give a girl let herself be disturbed you go a little wrong. They are bound to go to wrong now and then, and when they do we must be philosophical and make the best of it. You remember Charles Dickens and his "Five-and-Twenty Tattycorum". The absurd name belonged to a charity child, who lived in the house of a philosopher, and when she threw herself into a fit of frenzy, as she sometimes did, the good man told her to count five and twenty before she said a single word. Some of us would have to county five and twenty times before we had quite conquered the world. We had never learned how to wait and be patient. The wise man said in the Proverbs, "Better is he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city" and no truer word was ever spoken. One advantage given to girls who learn to dance and to boys who are taught military tactics is found in the control they gain over their muscles, and the flexibility and poise that come through movement in harmony with rhythm and law. An equal advantage would be gained should girls and boys practice sitting still. As, however, we hardly expect so much repose in the brothers as in the sisters, the latter must try to set the finer examples. In the art of sitting still may be comprehended the low tone that is so delightful a thing in speech, and the gentle courtesy that robs life of friction. I am constantly hearing people say that they are too busy to do this or the other thing, that they are so burdened with the tasks through the day's tasks, and that they are before the day begins with the more thinking of what they have to do. Hurry has intruded into the air we breathe, and we go whirling through the world as if we were horses on a race track. When a ferry boat is about to arrive at the dock, or a train up proaches the station, the passengers spring to their hasten and hasten out pell mell, as if life depended on their crowding out together and not losing maturation time. As a nation we are all fortunate to have a school that is fortunate for school girls that they are obliged to enter and leave class rooms with order and moderation. The good habit thus formed may stand them in stead by-and-bye. A good deal of illness, headache, and nervousness could be saved if only we could learn to be patient and to emulate and write a clever author has called "power through repose." When I was a schoolgirl I had two intimate friends, one of whom was very beautiful and very mercurial, with as many changes in her face as an April sky. Every passing emotion brought its corresponding facial gesture. She was never the same for two minutes. When she was talking her whole face seemed alive with movement. The other girl was quiet and dignified, not so responsive to every breeze as her companion. Yet, nevertheless, she was sympathetic and charming. She was a rather plain one, not one thought of her as having any claim to her position. Two years after we, had all left school the first girl had grown thin, angular and homely; her brow had lines that ought not to have been there, and her eager eyes flamed in a hollow face. The other was by this time beautiful. She had gained something lovely from every year that had gone over her head. She had known how to sit still and let the repose of her spirit illuminate her countenance. (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) A SENSIBLE COSTUME.

The strap the buns on which curve up under the feet. The bolero is tight-fitting and double-breasted: it is trimmed with 1 FOR THE YOUNG GIRL. stitched straps, and is fastened and ornamented with tiny gun-metal butto- tions. The collar is faced with dark red velvet. The deep waistband is also of red velvet worn with a red silk blouse. The hat is of red straw, trimmed with ribbon velvet. Material required: Five yards tweed, three and one-half yards skirt, lining, three yards silk for lining bolero, and three-fourths yard velvet. ETIQUETTE FOR THE BRIDE. Unless something prevents, a bride should return her first calls in two weeks after receiving them. If no "day" is given, suit your own convenience. It is better form for a husband's and wife's cards to read the same way, but if expense is an item to be considered the cards may be used as they are, for everyone understands what makes the difference. When the husband's cards are always left when it is a first call, after that, unless it is a party call, they need not be left. The cards from out-of-town people need not be returned. The Big Leghorn One of the most welcome of the returned fashions is the big Leghorn cup hat, than which nothing better was ever invented. Such a beauty was seen this week. The wide brim was draped with a white gauze scarf, broached with a large gold figure, while the low crown was covered with shaded pink roses without foliage. The under brim was lined with pink satin ribbon. In the back was a huge bow of the ribbon. COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Some Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home.

There is something like a sense of the tragic in the fall of majestic trees. One had just been cut down hear Burgdorf, in Switzerland, which really deserves to be described as a monarch of the forest. It was an oak. At a height of sixteen feet from the ground the trunk measured not less than four and one-half feet in diameter, which gives a circumference of sixteen feet three inches. The concentric rings showed the tree to have been cut down by the power of these 311 could be counted.—London Globe. DOING IN AND ABUCAT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Does the flying fish really fly, or is the so-called flight a mere extended leap, in which the fins are used on the principle of the aeroplane to float or rest on the air, and so afford support to the body? The question has been much discussed, and many naturalists have denied it the power of true flight. Mr. Frank Bullen, who in his many voyages has had unique opportunities for observing the flying fish, is emphatic in the assertion that it does really fly in the proper sense of the word. He has seen it, for example, change its course at a sharp angle when an obstacle intervened, and when about to re-enter the water he has seen it rise and continue its course on seeing an enemy below. Some recent observations contributed by Lieut. Col. Durnford to the London Annals and Magazine of Natural History, confirm this view. The writer contends that the ordinary aeroplane theory involves a mechanical impossibility. The true explanation is an intensely rapid vibration of the winglike fins—a vibration which becomes apparent to the eye as it slows down when the fish reaches the water—London Globe. PASSIONS OF LOWER ANIMALS Are Influenced by Jealousy and Crime as Is. Humanity. More curious it is to note that among animals as among men, some of the worst offenses that can be committed have their origin in the passion of love. Jealousy burns fiercely in many a brute's bosom, and when affected with the "universal distemper of love," the whole animal creation, from the tiger to the dove, is capable of any excesses against its disturbers, whether of its own or the human kind. Association for deliberate purposes of wrongdoing is not rare among animals, both of the higher and the lesser order of intelligence. Other animals steal in bands. Baboons go out in troops to rob orchards difficult of access. Conditions of climate and change of atmosphere have their influence upon the temperaments of animals. Speaking generally, wild creatures inhabiting very hot countries are more savage than those inhabiting cold or temperate climes. Effect of Condiments on Food The Russian physiologist Pavlov, has clearly demonstrated in his researches on digestion, that the indigestion of substances with a purely nutrient value does not sufficiently satisfy the demands of the body—taste and appetite must also be taken into consideration. These are satisfied only by the addition to the food of spices and salt, and it is largely due to the influence of these condiments that the proper amount of gastric juice is liberated by the mucous membrane of the stomach. The action upon the stomach of reflex stimuli is shown by the favorable effect on the flow of the gastric secretions made by mental impressions induced by the mere sight and odor of a well-prepared dish. Medical Record. More Information Required. An addition has been made to the list of freak vegetation, a scientist declaring that he recently discovered in the wilds of Australia a genuine singing tree. We have heard of the upas tree, with its deadly odor; the man-eating tree, whose limbs stretched forth to grasp and draw into a fatal embrace the unwary victim, and the balloon tree, which when loosened from the restraint of all attenuated roots arose in air and soared away above the trackless wilds. But the singing tree is something new. Unfortunately, the scientist fails to give us the range of its voice or the style of music it prefers.—Clevcland Plain Dealer. Splendid Magnanimity. A poor but worthy old couple had a rare stroke of luck. Some relative died and left them a fortune of £20. The night of the arrival of the lawyer's letter telling them of their good fortune, they sat up late, discussing the future and what they would do with the great sum they had inherited. When they had done and were rising to go to bed, the old man said, with a grand air of magnanimity, "Weel, I suppose, Janet, this'll mak' nae difference. We'll just speak to the neebours as before."—Weekly Speaksman. Well-Known Tune Very Ancient. Well-Known Tune Very Ancient. Few who have heard the ditty are probably aware of the history and antiquity of "For he's a jolly good fellow," sung at countless banquets and social functions. Mr. Benjamin Sulte, a Canadian poet and historian, has been lecturing in Toronto on the old folk-songs of the Dominion, and he incidentally mentioned that the air of "For he's a jolly good fellow" came into France from Spain, but Spain got it from the Moors, who had stolen it from the Persians thousands of years ago. Sleep With Your Windows Open. Every window in the bedroom, says Mr. Somerset Hastings, should be opened top and bottom to its fullest extent just before retiring, no matter what was the state of the weather, so that a refreshing current might play over the sleeper's couch. If this plan were generally adopted, coughs, colds, sore throats, and consumption would be more rare than at present, and a harder condition would be the direct consequence. Customers Do Not Kick. A mule by any other name would kick just as hard as "Maud" does. The same fabric with any other name would wear just as long as Saxony-Cheviot. But you know and we know that when you buy Saxony-Cheviot that it will wear until the proverbial cows come home—that it will never wear longer than ordinary fabric—it is just about the most dressy fabric that could be put into a $30 suit. That's the price we ask for a made-for-you suit of it. Lideen & Co., Tallors, 104 E. 7th St. Horse Shod With Gold. In J. F. Hogan's "History of the Irish in Australia," a number of strange treaks of suddenly enriched lucky gold diggers are recorded, but one of the queercest is told of a Scotchman named Andrew Cameron, who died in Melbourne the other day at the age of 87. He was returned in 1856 by a goldfields constituency to the first parliament of Victoria, and the story goes that he rode 100 miles down to Melbourne on a horse shod with gold. The golden shoes remained on the horse for three days. Then the native frugality of the Caledonian asserted itself, and they were, replaced by baser metal. Snider Lives Long on Light. Spider Lives Long on Light. Little Miss Muffet's spider was perhaps not so hungry as he looked. M. J. H. Fabre has studied the spider's powers of fasting. He noticed that the mother spider carries its little ones on its back for seven months, and that during that time the young spiders consume absolutely no food. He concluded from this observation that it is the solar heat and light that for them directly takes the place of nourishment. In other words, the motor heat in these young animals, instead of being released from the food, might be utilized directly as the sun, source of all life, radiates it. Stupid Child and Brilliant Man. Stupid Child and Brilliant Man. Isaac Barrows was the one stupid child in a family of brilliant children. His talented father, somewhat humiliated at the denseness of his son's mind, is said to have remarked that if it was the will of God to remove any of his children, he hoped Isaac would be the one. Yet his fame as theologian and mathematician are world wide. And when he resigned the chair of mathematics in Trinity college, no man in all England was considered qualified to fill his place, save the great Newton whom he had taught. Modern Saints. And remember there are, thank God, myriads of saints whom the world never heard of. Their names are in no calenders; their graves are never visited; no lamps are kindled at their shrines; yet in the mildst of sin and sorrow God has seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal, and whose mouth has not kissed him. Strive to be of these faithful ones, though they were not famous, and our lives, however insignificant, will not be in valin.—Cannon Farrar. Foe of the Octupus. Conger eels hunt for the octopus and, when found, proceed to browse on its limbs. The octopus tries to hag the slippery cipher tight, but in vain, and, finding its limbs growing less, discharges its ink in the face of the foe and, under cover of the turbid water beats a hasty retreat. It is to escape the too pressing attention of its foes that the octopus possesses the power of changing its color to correspond with that of its surroundings. Londoners Take Snuff Snuff-taking is a common habit among certain classes of the London poor. It shows its effects in rambling speech, pallid aspect and dejected demeanor, resembling the symptoms of the morphia taker. The practice is especially common among women and an observer says that women in the prisoner's dock in the police court will have their hair decorated with curl papers which contain each the pinch of snuff needed for consolation. Not Consoling A young man had enlisted in an English regiment for India for fourteen years. Seven years after he had been in India his old mother in England wrote to him saying that if he did not send home some money at once she and the old man would have to go to the workhouse. The son wrote back saying that if she could hang on for seven years he would come home and they would all go together.—judge's magazine of Fun. An Alarming Blunder A young lady living in Paris recently visited her sister's family and left them in perfect health. The next day a letter arrived from the Bichat hospital announcing her death at that institution, and caused deep grief among her relatives, who thought she had met with a fatal accident. That evening, however, the supposed deceased appeared at the house safe and sound. It appears that she had been under treatment at the hospital some time ago, and her name, through an error, was given to another patient, who subsequently died. Most Arcient Cains The Parian Chronicle ascribes the first coinage of copper and silver money to Pheidon, king of Argos in Aegina, 885 B. C., which Aelian corroborates; and the best numismatic antiquaries agree in considering the coins of Aegina, from their archaic form and appearance, as the most ancient known. The coins of Lydia probably come next in antiquity, and then the early Dories of the Persian kings, which occur both in gold and silver, and bear a strong resemblance to the coins of Aegina. Mr. Walter Porter, the enterprising proprietor of the People's Shining Parlor, No. 114 P. 4th street, got a chance to sell his 1/4 for a good round sum and has now opened two shining parors, one at No. $95½ E. 4th street, and the other at 127 E. 5th street.

METHOD OF TREATMENT. The action of these Blankets is to superinduce a process of sweating by means of a newly patented arrangement of electric wires which carry the current in a tortuous course throughout the entire surface of the blankets. The patient is first enveloped in a heavy woolen blanket and then encased from the outside by a mesh of elastic material. The current suitably controlled by the proper actuation of the switches of the switchboard is applied at the feet. Thus an even current is distributed over the entire surface of the body and increased or decreased at the will of the patient, with a reverse to the electrical blanket and circulation. The effect of the inner or first blanket is to absorb this sweat, and render the patient perfectly comfortable while undergoing treatment. When the current is turned off, the patient is removed from the blankets, given a bath and briskly rubbed with a severe towel, producing a blanket and circulation and the treatment is concluded by the external application of certain medicines over the affected portions of the body.
