Novelist Bravely Fought Mysterious Sickness Which Could Not Be Diagnosed by Australian Specialists Finally Decided He Had Been Torn to Pieces by Ultra Violet Rays. Sydney, Australia.—The recent death of Jack London, the California novelist, recalls the extraordinary physical reasons for his stay of about five years was a blond, and his sojourn, from what he himself subsequently wrote in "The Cruise of the Snack" and the alcoholic memoir "John Barleycorn" and those in the commonwealth who became insulted to him, now remember, was one of torture left the cockleoble Snark, in which he and his wife had been cruising about the Pacific, at one of the islands and came.

He said of his Australian sojourn: "I went to Australia to go into a hospital, where I spent five weeks. I spent five months miserably sick in hotels. The mysterious malady that afflicted my hands was too much for the Australian specialists. It was unknown in the literature of medicine. No, case like it had ever been reported." It extended from my hands to my feet so that at times I was as helpless as a child. On occasion my hands were twice their natural size, with seven dead and dying skins peeling off at the end of the day. There were times when my toenails in our hours grew as thick as they were inside another twenty-four hours they were as thick as before. The Australian specialists agreed that the malady was nonparasitic and therefore it must be nervous." The aliment did not mend, and the novelist and his wife had to abandon the cruise in the Snark. Yet when London had returned to California, where his health had invariably been excellent, his recovery was complete, and strangely enough the California climate is very like that of Australia. Later on London ran across the book Woodruff, United States armies, entitled "Effects of Tropical Light on White Men," and what had baffled the Australian specialists, was no longer inexplicable. London wrote to Colonel Woodruff describing his illness in Australia, and the latter, whose researches in tropical medicine, especially in the Philippines, have given him a high repute in his profession, replied that he had been similarly afflicted in the Philippines. Besides himself, Colonel Woodruff, the novelist, no fewer than sixteen of his army surgeons were utterly at a loss to count for the colonel's malady. But in time the colonel solved the riddle. London says: "I had a strong predisposition toward tissue destructiveness by tropical light. I had been torn in pieces by ultra violet rays."

REFUSES FORTUNE LEFT BY HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW Former Diplomat Prefers That Money Should Go to His Wife. New York.—Charles H. Sherrill, minister to Argentina when Mr. Taft was president and organizer of the great preparedness parade here, has refused to accept $100,000 bequeathed to him by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Barker Gibbs, who died last May, leaving $642,700 to Mrs. Sherrill. "His declaration became known when announcement was made from the state controller's office that an official appraisal had placed the net estate at $855,490. Mr. Sherrill told a reporter his telephone from his home in Sixty-fifth street that while he was deeply moved by the bequest he preferred that it should go to the residuary estate and become part of his wife's share. The former diplomat seemed to feel that it was a thing of no consequence to look $100,000 in the face or faces and then turn a cold shoulder. "It really wouldn't interest anybody he said of his refusal. "I don't like it. It's rather too personal for discussion. I'd rather have the sum go into the residuary estate and revert to Mrs. Sherrill."

Under the caption of "Struggling to Keep Up With New York" the Interborough officials say: "Each year the problem of handling the millions of New York traffic grows increasingly difficult. The struggle is hard, not to anticipate the city's future needs, but merely to keep up with the present. Extensions of transit facilities, no matter how rapid, do not seem able to keep pace with crowds and congestion. "In September the subway carried a daily average of 1,099,000 passengers. By November this average was increased to 1,199,000 daily. "All this traffic, too, it should be remembered, was on lines designed originally to care for 400,000 passengers daily." "Always it is the same story. No matter how fast rapid transit lines are built in New York city, the transportation population seem to keep ahead of them." LEFT FORTUNE TO SERVANT.

They'll Sling It For All They're Worth, but Only Highbrow Variety. Chicago—Slam. If it is of the highbrow variety, will still be in vogue among the co-eds at Northwestern university and the University of Chicago. And this despite the announcement that the women of Vassar have put the "kibosh" on it in all its variations. Eastern girls are putting on airs, the Chicago co-eds, who declare they intend to sling slang for all they are worth, but only, of course, the refined and cultured kind. "Highbrow slang is not like the low, vulgar kind," declared Miss Norma Culver at Northwestern university. "It's just expressive slang, one more perfectly first. Yes, 'perfectly first' is cultured slang, and it's a ripping phrase." "We've got to use slang," pleaded Miss McConnell, also of the Northwestern. "If we didn't we would not be able to understand the men." Almost the same arguments were offered by the girls at the University of Chicago, where "shoot," meaning "begin speaking," "hit the tub" and "beat it" are not only permissible, but necessary. "But vulgar slang will be tolerated," said Miss Helen Lindsay of Greenwood hall. "When I hear girls using it I always bawl them out." NEW TYPE OF MINE TO PROTECT COASTS Artillery Perfects an Improved Device Which Rises and Falls With the Tide. New York.—A new type of submarine mine which has recently been perfected by the coast artillery branch of the United States army and which will be issued to forts guarding American harbors as soon as possible was described by officers who have been follo- warded to forts guarding American war thunderstrike over the possibilities of the new weapon affords of simplifying and making more effective the nation's coast defenses. While the mechanism of the mide is a secret, it is known that its effectiveness lies in the fact that the depth of the tide and the strength of the current in a harbor may be entirely disregarded when the mine is planted. An automatic device inside the mine itself can be set for any desired sub- mmergeate, which will be the mine at that place (usually eight feet by the surface) no matter how the tide may rise and fall and in spite of any drag by the current. This type of mine can be planted in a harbor and then left alone on the bottom, controlled by the operator at the mine field switchboard in the fort. To this switchboard every individual mine in the field is connected by a cable. From his post the operator can send the mine on a moment's notice to war position just below the surface. The mine is then gone by a small signal device in the casemate, a gong, which sounds a ringing note for every foot upward the hidden destroyer travels.

SEARCH BEGUN BY BROTHER. Bushwhackers Raided Home, Killed Parents and Drove Children Into Woods—Adopted If Different Homes, Survivors Drifted Apart —Meeting Between Sisters and Brother Pathetic. Clarinda, la.—A tragedy of the civil war which respited in the separation of three children over Missouri family was recalled recently by the reunion of the three children who had been separated during the long period, too young at the time to maintain a correspondence, and it was only after much effort and correspondence that the members of the family were enabled to meet and hold a reunion after so long a separation. Living near Lacoche, Mo., was a family named Deer. Bushwhackers raided their home, killed the parents and drove the children into the woods, where they passed a night in the woods. The children were Mary Deer, eight years old; Addie Deer, six years old, and a brother two years old. Upon the girl of eight years involved the task of keeping the others with her and to vainly try to console them. Speaking of the terrifying incidents of the night, Mary, now Mrs. Mary Rahn of this city, told how the baby boy cried to be taken to his mother. In the morning the children made their way to Lacoche, where they were found early in the exposure and fright and crying bitterly. A man who chanced to run across the woods so filled with pity that he took them in charge, fed them and cared for them for several days until he had succeeded in locating all three in homes, into which they were finally adopted. Thus torn apart, the children did not again hear from each other. Mary spent her entire girlhood as a nurse girl in a family where there were several children, and from them she managed to learn to read and write. She was taken to Illinois, where she married and took with the brother to Crete, Neb. taken with the married and where the boy grew to manhood and where he still resides. Adie married and lost her husband. She was married a second time to a Mr. Downing, owner of a large ranch near Glenwood Springs, Colo. Some time ago the brother began a search for his sisters. It was an apparently hopeless task, but by perseverance, much correspondence and long range inquiry he managed to find them, and all held a reunion at the home of Mrs. Downing in Colorado. Her marriage moved from Illinois to this county. She is now a widow, sixty years of age. The meeting between the sisters and brother was pathetic despite the fact that a separation of over fifty years had obviously tended to break down the feeling of family relationship. WAR AFFECTS WATER TOO. No Soda Ash to Soften City's Drinking Supply. Columbus, O.-Hard water will be the best the filtration plant can furnish consumers the rest of the winter unless something is done to increase the available supply of soda ash, one of the chief chemicals used in the softening process. Superintendent O'Shaughnessy of the Columbia water can no longer be had at any price owing to inability of railroads to furnish adequate transportation facilities; also the Barberton plants, where the city's supply of soda ash is obtained, have been handicapped during the last few weeks because of a shortage of fuel. No soda ash has been used at the filtration plant for several days.

Good Hunting In New Jersey Since Feline Slaughter Started. Trenton, N. J.-A report of the New Jersey fish and game commission recently issued states that the wholesale extermination of cats in Burlington county during the 1915 epidemic of foot and mouth disease has resulted in sportsmen finding Burlington among the best hunting grounds in the state. Game animals and birds are more plump in the county than for years, and scores of hunters have been safely bagged their legal limit of ten rabbits; also quail, phaeasnus and squirrels. It is held that the chief factor in the increase in game animals and birds as well as song birds in that county was the warfare on cats by both hunters and farmers. Sportsmen found hundreds of prowling homeless cats in the woods and fields preying upon native birds and animals and killed them. Newspaper on Fig Leaves.

Body of William King Described as Left Handed Both Inside and Out. St. Louis—The body of William King, which has been preserved for twenty months, is described by an anatomist as "left handed, both inside and out," according to a statement made public at the City hospital. In May, 1915, King, who was thirty-five years old, applied at the hospital for treatment. He said he was a laborer and had lived most of his life in Wisconsin. He was suffering from typhoid fever. When asked who should be notified in case of his death King said, "Don't worry about that. Just cut me up and examine my body. There's something wrong with me besides the fever." He died a few days later. When surgeons made an examination of the body they found one of the most abnormal cases in the history of surgery. The heart was on the right side, the liver on the left; the appendix was on the left side and the spleen on the stomach was turned around completely; the lung was three lobes; the right lung had but two. The left kidney was larger and lower than the right one. DANCE TO WIRELESS MUSIC MILES AWAY Phonograph at High Bridge, N. Y. Heard All Over House at Morristown, N. J. New York.—What was declared to be the world's first wireless dance was held at 29 Morris avenue, Morristown, N. J., the house of Theodore E. Gaty, vice president of the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance company of this city. His two sons—John P. and Theodore E. Gaty, Jr., the latter home from Cornell for the Christmas holidays—got up a dance and throughout the evening the seven or eight couples who had been invited dance to music that was played on a phonograph in High Bridge, at the northern end of Manhattan, about forty miles away from Morristown. Mr. Gaty and his sons are enthusiastic amateurs in the science of radio telephony and telegraphy. A friend, P. F. Godley of Montclair, who is a radio engineer, made use of the Lee de Forest audition detector and the sound amplifier invented by Dr. Edwin H. Armstrong of Columbia, the inventions which made transcontinental telephony possible, as well as a wireless telephone message to Honolulu. Mr. Godley, who is only twenty-seven years old, adapted the two devices to amateur use and attached them to a phonograph horn in the Gay home. The phonograph that furnished the dance music was played in the High Bridge plant of the De Forest Radio Telephone and Telegraph company, and the musical sound waves were received by an amateur receiver over Mr. Gay's home. When the faint sounds, which, coming from the receiver, could scarcely be detected by the ear, passed through the combined sound amplifiers and then through the megaphone they could be heard all over the house.

By November this average was increased to 1,199,000 daily. "All this traffic, too, it should be remembered, was on lines designed originally to care for 400,000 passengers daily. "Ways it is the same story. No matter how fast rapid transit lines are built in New York city, the transportation needs of the population seem to keep ahead of them." LEFT FORTUNE TO SERVANT. Relatives of Dead Woman Fight the Bequest. Carlyle, Ill. — Kate Mulcahy, gray haired and rheumatic, is heir to an estate between $100,000 and $200,000, left by her mistress, Mrs. John McCabe, but relatives of the dead woman are present. Kate served Mrs. McCabe forty-one years. Mrs. McCabe's husband was a prosperous physician when Kate came to work for them. He died, leaving little property. Kate left for a time, but Mrs. McCabe's urgent pleas caused her to return at a financial sacrifice. Mrs. McCabe said Kate should be the sole heir to the mistress' property if Kate was born. Then oil was struck on the McCabe property, making Mrs. McCabe the richest woman in Clinton county. She kept her promise to Kate just the same. Dog Stars in Motion Pictures. Carsley, a bank bank messenger bulldog and pet of Carly, will go down in pictorial history to future generations. He is starred in a motion picture drama performing his daily task of carrying the hotel deposit to the bank and returning with the pass- book.

Naylor Jr., a New York national guardman, put on his full uniform, pligged all crevices in his house, on the gas and threw himself on his bed, with his former Ouasca's picture, and died. On a table was the letter giving him his release and telling him another he supplanted him. THE APPEAL MINNES HISTORY SOCIETY Intentional Duplicate Exposure SLANG IS NECESSARY, SAY CHICAGO'S CO-EDS. They'll Sling It For All They're Worth, but Only Highbrow Variety. Chicago.-Slam, if it is of the highbrow variety, will still be in vogue among the co-eds at Northwestern university and the University of Chicago. And this despite the announcement that the women of Vassar have put the "kibosh" on it in all its variations. Eastern girls are putting on airs, say the Chicago co-eds, who declare they intend to sling slang for all they are worth, but only, of course, the refined and cultured kind. "Highbrow slang is not like the low, vulgar kind," declared Miss Norma Cullen at Northwestern university. "It's just expressive, and, well-it just makes one perfectly first. Yes, 'perfect first' is cultured slang, and it's a ripping tongue." "We've got to use slang," pleaded Miss Mabel McConnell, also of Northwestern. "If we didn't be able to understand the men." Almost the same arguments were offered by the girls at the University of Chicago, where "shoot," meaning "begin speaking," "hit the tub," and "beat it" are not only permissible, but necessary expressions. "But vulgar slang won't be tolerated," said Miss Helen Linden of Greenwood hall. "When I hear girls using it I always bawl them out." NEW TYPE OF MINE TO PROTECT COASTS Artillery Perfects an Improved Device Which Rises and Falls With the Tide. New York.—A new type of submarine mine which has recently been perfected by the coast artillery branch of the United States army and which will be issued to forts guarding American harbors as soon as possible was described by officers who have been following tests of the mine. All are enthusiastic over the possibilities which the new weapon affords of simplifying and making more effective the nation's coast defenses. While the mechanism of the mine is a secret, it is known that its effectiveness lies in the fact that the depth of the tide and the strength of the current in a harbor may be entirely disrupted and that it is planted. An automatic device inside the mine itself can be set for any desired submergence, which will keep the mine at that place (usually eight feet below the surface) no matter how the tide may rise and fall and in spite of any drag by the current. This type of mine can be planted in a harbor and then left alone on the bottom, controlled by the operator at the mine field switchboard in the fort. To this switchboard every individual mine in the field is connected by a cable. From his post the operator can send the mine on a moment's notice to its war position just below the surface. He can tell how far up it has gone by a small signal device in the casemate, a gong, which sounds a ringing note for every foot upward the hidden destroyer travels. MOTHER SHOT KISSING SON. Revolver is Discharged as She Steals Up Behind Him—Youth Surrendered. Milford, Conn.—Clarence Khelenkeb, twenty-one years old, was cleaning a revolver in his room when his mother, Mrs. M. Khelenkeb, stole up behind him to give him a good night kiss. As her arms encircled his neck the revolver was discharged, the bullet entering her helmet. Her took her by automobile to St. Vincent's hospital, Bridgeport, and after learning that she had a chance for recovery, hastened back to Milford, where he gave himself up to the police. NO NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. Committee Refuses to Make Awards For 1915 and 1916. London—Reuter's Christiania correspondent says the Nobel committee has decided by 28 votes to 11 not to distribute the Nobel peace prize for 1915 and 1916. The Nobel peace prize has not been awarded since 1913, when it was given to formulate a Belgian senator, who is president of the International Peace Bureau at Bern Switzerland. The prize for the previous year was awarded to Eilhu Root of New York. * STANDARD TIME FOR * SALONIKI PROVIDED * * Saloniki—If the allies have done nothing else at Saloniki they have at least enabled every one to know the right time Hitherto one railway worked to Vienna time, another to Constantinople time. Saloniki had its own local time and there was also Tukhak time other than the Constantinople variety, which differed from all the others in being based on the course of the moon. There are still three different Sabbathe a week—Friday for Motelniki, Saturday for Jews and Sunday for the Christians. FAMILY REUNITED. Children Long Separated by the Civil War Meet. Bushwhackers Raided Home, Killed Parents and Drove Children Into Woods—Adopted In Different Homes, Survivors Drifted Apart — Meeting Between Sisters and Brother Pathetic. Clarinda, Ia.—A tragedy of the civil war which resisted in the separation of three children of Missouri family was recalled recently by the reunion of the three children who had been separated during the long period, too young at the time to maintain a correspondence, and it was only after much effort and correspondence that the members of the family were enabled to meet and hold a reunion after so long a separation. Living near Laclede, Mo., was a family named Deer. Bushwhackers raided their home, killed the parents and drove the children into the woods, where they passed a night in terror. The children were Mary Deer, eight years old; Addie Deer, six years old, and a brother two years old. Upon the girl of eight years devolved the task of keeping the others with her and to keep them safe from them. Speaking of the terrifying incident, the night, Mary, now Mary Rahn of this city, told how the baby boy cried to be taken to his mother. In the morning the children made their way to Laclede, where they were found nearly dead from exposure and fright and crying bitterly. A man who chanced to run across the children was so filled with pity that he took them in and took them cared for them for several days until he had succeeded in locating all three in homes, into which they were finally adopted. Thus torn apart, the children did not again hear from each other. Mary spent her entire girlhood as a nurse girl in a family where there were several children, and from them she managed to learn to read and write. She was taken to Illinois, where she married. Addie Deer was taken with the girl to Crete, Neb., where the girl married and she grew to manhood and where she grew. Addie married and lost her husband. She was married a second time to a Mr. Downing, owner of a large ranch near Glenwood Springs, Colo. Some time ago the brother began a search for his sisters. It was an apparently hopeless task, but by perseverance, much correspondence and long range inquiry he managed to find them, and all held a reunion at the home of Mrs. Downing in Colorado. Her marriage moved from Illinois to this county. She is now a widow, sixty years of age. The meeting between the sisters and brother was pathetic despite the fact that a separation of over fifty years had obviously tended to break down the feeling of family relationship. WAR AFFECTS WATER TOO. No Soda Ash to Soften City's Drinking Supply. Columbus, O.-Hard water will be the best the filtration plant can furnish consumers the rest of the winter unless something is done to increase the available supply of soda ash, one of the chief chemicals used in the softening process. The sulphurous water that said soda ash could not be had at any price owing to inability of railroads to furnish adequate transportation facilities; also the Barberton plants, where the city's supply of soda ash is obtained, have been handicapped during the last few weeks because of a shortage of fuel. No soda ash has been used at the filtration plant for several days. Since the war began soda ash has advanced $4 a ton. Water can be softened to a certain degree by lime, but soda ash must be added to get the desired softness. WAR ON CATS - SAVES GAME. Good Hunting In New Jersey Since Feline Slaughter Started. Trenton, N.J. - A report of the New Jersey fish and game commission recently issued states that the wholesale extermination of cats in Burlington county during the 1915 epidemic of foot and mouth disease has resulted in sportsmen finding Burlington among the best hunting grounds in the state. Game animals and birds are more plentiful in the county than for years, and scores of hunters have repeatedly bagged their legal limit of ten rabbits; also qualis, pheasantas and squirrels. is held that the chief factor in the increase in game animals and birds as the warfare on cats by bounty hunters and farmers. Sportsmen found hundreds of prowling homeless cats in the woods and fields preying upon native birds and animals and killed them. Newspaper on Fig Leaves. Santa Cruz. Cal.-Because of the high cost of the subscriptions, subaccribers to pay up. Luther McQueston, publisher of the Mountain Echo at Boulder creek, printed an edition of his weekly on fig leaves. The edition consists of five dried leaves pinned together with a twig and printed on both sides and contains news items, classifications and an editorial in which McQueston reasons for "returning to first principles for print paper." FIND HEART ON RIGHT SIDE, LIVER ON LEFT Body of William King Described as Left Handed Both Inside and Out. St. Louis.—The body of William King, which has been preserved for twenty months, is described by an anatomist as "left handed, both inside and out," according to a statement made public at the City hospital. In May, 1915, King, who was thirty-five years old, applied at the hospital for treatment. He said he was a laborer and had lived most of his life in Wisconsin. He was suffering from typhoid fever. When asked who should be notified in case of his death King said: "Don't worry about that. Just cut me up and examine my body. There's something wrong me beside the fever." He died a day later. When surgeons made an examination of the body they found one of the most normal cases in the history of surgery. The heart was on the right side, the liver on the left; the appendix was on the left side and the spleen on the right. The stomach was turned around completely. On the left lung were three lobes; the right lung had but two. The left kidney was larger and lower than the right one. DANCE TO WIRELESS MUSIC MILES AWAY Phonograph at High Bridge, N. Y. Heard All Over House at Morristown, N. J. New York.—What was declared to be the world's first wireless dance was held at 29 Morris avenue, Morristown, N. J., the home of Theodore E. Gaty, vice president of the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance company of this city, His two sons—John P. and Theodore E. Gaty, Jr., the home latter from Cornell for the Christmas holidays—got up a dance, and throughout the evening the seven or eight couples who had been invited danced to music that was played on a phonograph in High Bridge, at the northern end of Manhattan, about forty miles away from Morristown by air line. Mr. Gaty and his sons are enthusiastic amateurs in the science of radio telephony and telegraphy. A friend, P. F. Godley of Montclair, who is a radio engineer, made use of the Lee de Forest audition detector and the sound amplifier invented by Dr. Edwin H. Armand, the inventions which made transcontinental telephone possible, as well as a wireless telephone message to Honolulu. Mr. Godley, who is only twenty-seven years old, adapted the two devices to amateur use and attached them to a phonograph horn in the Gathe home. The phonograph that furnished the dance music was played in the High Bridge plant of the De Forest Radio Telephone and Telegraph company, and the musical sound waves were received by the amateur receiver over Mr. Gaty's. When the faint sounds, which coming from the receiver, could scarcely be detected by the ear, passed through the combined sound amplifiers and then through the megaphone they could be heard all over the house.

MILITARY TRAINING FOR HALF A MILLION BOYS Defense Society Plans Drilla In High Schools Throughout Country. New York.—With the object of greatly reducing the time required to make competent soldiers out of raw recruits, the American Defense society set in motion a comprehensive plan for organizing the junior and senior classes of every boy's high school in the country into military training units. New York state already has military training of high school students. Every other state in the Union has received the "call to arms." The action was taken the military defense committee's society after consulting Major Leonard Wood. Volunteers required to read the constitution, the United States and pledge themselves before the mayors of their cities to uphold it. Then they receive certificates of enrolment, charters and diplol instructions for military training week by week. A ten mile hike each week and setting up exercises will be required of recruits, who will be compelled to put themselves first class physical trim. The society and its advisers are particularly anxious that the boys of the country should not be taught anything that they would have to unlearn If at the age of eighteen they were called to the colors after leaving school. For that reason close order military drill, the manual of arms and such only will be taught where competent instructors are available. SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OLD, HIKES SIXTY-FIVE MILES Samuel S. Cavin, Atlantic City Lawyer, Celebrates Natal Day With Long Walk. Philadelphia—Samuel S. Cavin is an attorney who was sixty-five years old recently, and he personally conducted the following celebration: He walked sixty-five miles. Elapsed time, midnight to 8:15 p. m.

He has been celebrating his birthday in this manner for a number of years, so at midnight he left Atlantic City and began his hike. He came to Kalighn's ferry, which is sixty-one miles from the shore, and thence to his home, a distance of sixty-five miles. Mr. Cavin attributes his ability to make these trips to a regular system of living. "I get up in the morning, take a cold bath and eat a hot breakfast," be said. "Then I keep myself on a regular schedule and walk whenever I get the chance to cut out walking birthdays after this and take me to five year periods. About the time I one hundred the Cobbs Creek boulevard may be done and I may take a century run over that. "Oh, I forget something. I get busy with the dumbbells every morning." LONG WALK FOR JUROR. Trains Did Not Serve, so McCrill Footed it For Many Miles. Leavenworth, Kan.-How would you like to take a little jaunt, say twenty-five or thirty miles, at the present time? Sure, a nice little walk. Well, Kirby McCrill so sizes up a trip of that length. Kirby was among those summoned to sit on a jury. There happened to be no trains coming to Leavenworth when Kirby desired to start. That didn't blim, neither did the high price of orphanage. So Kirby walked to Kansas City, a distance of about twenty-seven miles. "It was just a nice little stoll," said Kirby. "I take long walks often and there is nothing like it to preserve one's good health. At Kansas City I caught an interurban car and came to Leavenworth. I intend to walk back when I get through with the jury work." Flushing. O.-The ear of a valuable mule of the Belmont Coal company has been saved.

Defective Page $2.40 PER YEAR MAXIMS FOR DIET Dr. Robertson of Chicago Issues "Ten Commandments." WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING Ice Water, if taken at All, Should Be Drunk Before Meal—Relish Important In Promoting Gastric Juice, Hence Have Food Served in Appetizing Manner.

FILM OF SUBMARINE SINKING Operator on Bridge of Boat Get Picture of Entire Procedures.

The crew, armed by one of the crew, probably the French supercargo, in the Temps. The German officer when he boarded the vessel noticed a man wearing an overcoat. "Who is this gentleman?" the German asked. "The supercargo, a French citizen, representing the owners," replied the crew of the San Bernardo. "Let him describe the submarine with the five engineers," said the German. "I shall keep them as hostages." The six men were kept in conversation on board the submarine by the underwater boat's commander while bombs were being placed on board the San Bernardo. When the stainer blew up there was a moving camera operator on the bridge of the submarine, who took a picture of the entire proceedings. Dog Saves His Mistress. Norwalk, Ore.-A pet colle dog probably saved Mrs. Philip Loretz from serious injury during day when an enraged deborn cow entered Charles Antrim, a neighbor, charged straight at Mrs. Loretz, knocked her down and bitten her fiercely as she lay on the ground.

Jim-Crow Camp Opposed. (Chicago Defender.) In the east Major General Wood of the United States army has started a movement for a separate military training school at New York City. Every man in the east should look upon this with disfavor and oppose it. ‘There should ‘be no segregation in an army of the United States, If there should be a military training it should be one and all. ‘The men of the east who think, especially edt tors and writers, shuld sound a death knell to this “Jim Crow” proposition, Tt will not be tolerated in the west and should not be in the east. In other counjries all men’ of all colors and nationalities gerve on the same army and fight for the same flag be cause it does not segregate or dis. eriminate. On the firing line we should be as one. No longer members of the race should be looked upon as cooks, but as citizen soldiers, wear ing the rank of equality, with no in justice or discrimination heralded against them. In ease of war a num ber of southern whites are getting it in thelr breasts to lead our men to the battlefield. “In the past they have shown that they have proven them selves to be a lot of chain driver and we advise them not to let 2 southern man command them.

The Following Article Is Taken From ‘The Cleveland Gazette, ana is Only One of Many Such That Have Ap- eared From the Trenchent Pen of Rev. William A. Byrd—Read and Ponder. ‘That Hampton and Tuskegee have done much good for the colored race and the country at large, no sane man will deny, but there is a serious ques- tion as to the harm they have also done. Hampton in Virginia empha: sizes humility for colored men. Tus- kegee in Alabama emphasizes non. resistance and deep respect for “southern traditions.” Such men as Seth Low and many others have built and do maintain ‘Tuskegee because they hope through it to uplift the colored race and in a measure solve the race problem. The trouble with this policy is its one-sidedness, ‘These men constantly advise the colored race to be patient while the White men continually heap upon them more and grievous burdens. Colored men are continually reminded. that the southern white man is his “best friend” and thisy white “friend” is continually showing his friendship by oppression, violence and death." Be- sides these evils both Hampton and Tuskegee stand for the kind of edu- cation the south is half way inclined to tolerate—industrial training, “teaching the nigger how to be a good sorvant.” From Tuskegee a sen- timent of this kind goes out over the country. ‘The head of Tuskegee must stand for this sentiment or fight like @ man and quit; or acquiesce like “a good nigger” and be allowed to re- main. No one can ait and hear a lecture from Hampton's teachers with- out being impressed with the fact that ail of the effort of that institution Is to make the colored people patiently Fecelve whatever the whites or the south may give them. “They are fos. tering a sentiment of inferiority of the black man to the white man, urg- ing the colored youth to accept this 85 a fact and prepare to make useful his life under such conditions, ‘THIS 18 WRONG! Within Hampton itself, this inferiority of the colored to the ‘white is emphasized. We are reliably informed that even a little advance fagent, white of course, secured. for Major Moton, atter he was. chosen head of Tuskegee, a very humble stop. ping place in Syracuse, N. Y., but he fbimself stopped at the “onandaga,” the most expensive and exclusive hotel in that city. When a_ protest /was made against such, he said that fhe regretted it, but did not want it Published. He should have been more Jor a man than to have done such a thing where discrimination. is unlaw ful. “For Major Moton to stop in the same hotel with him would’ be toc much like equality of the president of Tuskegee N. & J. Institute with an “agent of Hampton, who chanced to have a white skin,” Mind you, a1 fagent begging the public for a chance to present his black school progeny Major Moton was very wise when. he told his New York audience a. fen days ago that he did not aspire to be the leader of the colored people in ‘this country. No southern man whe must live and make his living there can be this‘leader! Major Moton mus suppress his own resentment at~ in ustice in order to do what good he ‘ean for his race. Heads of southers ‘schools cannot be the leaders in civi and national matters pertaining te colored people. In church and. stat lschools these ‘teachers must. accep the southern policy. ‘The colored rag is unalterably opposed to accepting anything as its portion whieh’ an} other self-respecting race would ‘no accept. The danger of Hampton ani Tuskegee is their building up a. man hood of weaklings and non-resistants ‘They are making colored youths. be Meve that they are right when. the: humbly take southern sand and sai they have sugar. ‘These institution should remain and be. encouraged BUT THEIR POLICY SHOULD BI CHANGED. ‘The colored youth shoul be taught to shun bullylam, but lov to embrace those principles of cout jageous manhood which resent wronj ‘When wilfully and maliciously given ‘The weight of these institutions wil be sought to stem the tide of emigra tlon from the south.

Scene ee syne es, Baitor Amsterdam News: Sir: ‘I cannot too heartily congratu- late you on a recent editorial discour- aging. the uso of the word “Negro.” ‘There is no greater delight enjoyed by the. white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term.

H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. oo7 Sint Ce eee, ae eee (From the Christian Register, Boston, Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and’ sym: pathetle relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. ‘They know aspi. rations among them that the others do. not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obit. vious of; ‘they know qualities which only respect and, sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to. which others by thelr very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the col- ofed race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demon- strated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously can- aid with themselves, they would re. vise their judgments and possibly sof- ten thelr, prejudices. At any rate, they ought to. credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from know: ing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the GOD GIVE US MEN.
