Speaking directly to students, he said: the first thing upon which I emphasis is that a school Night 12th 1906 am will be ren- ll. Be on hand. Given Later such as this, which strives to raise the colored man and colored woman, to make them better men and better women, better citizens, is pre-eminently in the interests of the white man. There is nothing that can be done better for the white man, who is to live side by side with the colored man, than to train that colored man up to be a good citizen. "From the standpoint of the white man, the safest and best thing that can happen is to have the colored people around him become thrifty, industrious, home-makers and home-keepers. "From the standpoint of the colored man, the only real way to help him is to help himself. What this institution does is to train young men and women to walk by themselves. The colored man who helps his race most is he who helps teach the members of his race how to conduct themselves with self-respect as hard-working, intelligent, law-abiding citizens. No race, no nationality ever raises itself by the exhibition of genius in a few men; what counts is character, the character of the average man and the average woman. "You have sent out from Hampton institute in all something like six thousand graduates, and if I have remembered rightly, there are but two of whom you have record as criminals, and that fact is an answer to the blind people who say that no good will come from educating the Negro. So far is that from the truth that it may be their development has been one of the significant features of education for the white man in most of the states of the union, because more and more have people grown to realize that the child of the farmer must be developed scientifically, that his abilities be given full play as they can only be given through the hand of education and science. "Our chief civilization is going to tend more and more toward recognizing the capital part played by the natural worker, whether in the workshop or on the farm. It is the work of the man who works with his hands that counts in the end for the most, provided the hand work is directed by an intelligent brain. "The next thing is to remember that the greatness of the nation, the greatness and success of the people must always depend in the last analysis on the kind of home life, on the family life that is to be found in the average family group. If we have got the right type of average family this nation will be great, every race successful and if we have not got the right type of family life nothing else can take its place. In the interest of the colored folks, see to it you colored men here, that you war against criminality in your own race with a particular zeal because that criminality is in the ultimate analysis a greater danger to your race than any other thing can be." At the conclusion of the president's address the president and his party were conducted to the institute church, where the students at the president's request sang several songs. The president then visited the various departments of the school, expressing deep interest in the practical nature of the work done. EVERYONE SHOULD HELP. We call the attention of our readers to the charitable social to be given by the ladies of the G. L. A. club on Tuesday night, June 5th, to raise some money to aid Mrs. Sallie Hollingsworth, who is very sick. The social will be held in the Young building, 601 N. Main street, which is donated for this purpose by Mr. and Mrs. Young. This social will be held Tuesday night, June 5th, and everyone should make it possible to be present and encourage the ladies in the very charitable act and at the same time aid this lady who is worthy of your aid. A SONG COMPOSER. Mrs. P. L. Stewart, an evangelist of Kansas City, Mo., is doing much work in the missionary field in our city. Mrs. Stewart is assisted by Mrs. Grace Puckett. Mrs. Stewart is having there songs printed, entitled "That Is No Christian," "Traveling to the Better Land," "The Straight Gate"—all three of which are her own composition and are entitled to a place among gospel hymns. They will be on sale at 5c each. Buy one of her. FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT. The Supreme Court of the United States Will Punish the Leaders of the Mob in Chattanooga, Tenn. Attorney General Moody appeared before the United States Supreme Court Monday and presented a complaint on the part of the government and asked the Court to issue a rule citing the leaders of the mob that lynched Ed Johnson, a Negro, in Chattanooga, to appear before the court and show cause why they should not be punished as for contempt. The court granted the rule and cited the defendants named in the bill of complaint to appear before the court at its session in October. Ed Johnson was charged with assault on a white woman in Chattanooga, was tried and convicted and sentenced to be hanged. He appealed to the United States Supreme Court under an amendment and asked that court to review the case and grant him a new trial. The court granted his petition and issued a special stay to the authorities—thus giving the Supreme Court jurisdiction and while Johnson was under the control of the United States Supreme Court a mob took him from the jail and lynched him. And thus the lynchers are in contempt of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Knights and Doughters of Wichita are working with might and main making preparations for the oncoming of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle which will meet in Wichita on July 10th to 13th. Nothing is being left undone to make the visiting Knights, Daughters and friends who come to Wichita enjoy themselves in the highest. The W. R. club met at the hospitable home of Mrs. A. Griggs, 901 N. Wichita, Tuesday, May 23d. After an hour spent in fancy needlework the club transacted their business, after which a most palatable lunch was served. All pronounced Mrs. Griggs a most pleasant entertainer. IN THIS PAPER. WHITE SCHOOL HONORS NEGRO STUDENT. To Be Commencement Orator at Wesleyan University. Middletown, Conn.—A full-blooded Negro, James Augustus Wilson of Calhoun, Ala., was chosen as one of the speakers at the Wesleyan University commencement exercises in June, because of the excellent showing made in the English and declamation departments during his college course. The Tossaunt la Overture Literary Society met Wednesday night, May 30th at the Tabernacle Baptist church. An excellent program was rendered without any preparation. A splendid program is announced for next Wednesday night. One agreeable feature of the society is the great interest being taken in the work by the young people. The next program will be rendered at the Tabernacle Baptist church. A very interesting debate will be part of the program of the next meeting. EDWARD DUKE, President. MISS H. HURST, Secretary. MEMPHIS G. A. R. DRAW COLOR LINE. In Memorial Day Celebration.—Whites Use Morning and Negroes Use Evening.—Negroes Submit to Jim Crowism. Memphis, Tenn.—The color line was drawn here Memorial day. The Negro posts were hoodwinked by a ruse on the plea that streetcar facilities were inadequate for both races; hence they agreed to let the whites have the morning, which virtually was all day, and the Negroes took the afternoon. Memphis has the second largest national cemetery in the county. The scheme was worked easily on the Negroes who seemed unable to grasp the "Jim Crow" idea. WIPE OUT COLOR LINE. St. Louis Negro to be Hod Carrier Organizer. Dayton, O.-W. C. Thompson, a Negro, a member of Hodcarriers' Union No. 228, of St. Louis, has been appointed general organizer for the International Laborers' Union, with headquarters in this city. He is the first salaried Negro organizer ever placed in commission by a labor organization. Thompson, who will begin work at once in Indiana, was one of the founders of the Building Laborers' International Protective Union in 1887. TRAIN THE COLORED YOUTH. It is plain, common sense and every day truth, that character, intelligence and integrity, mark the advancement of any race. In the same proportion as they do an individual. Let a man possess character, thrift, intelligence and perseverance and the devil had as well try to turn the "Father of Waters" up stream permanently as to try to stop the progress of such an individual. Therefore I plead daily for the proper training of the colored youth. Train them to be industrious, in the home, the school; to labor for wages through it may be small; keep every one of them in school until they have finished the grammar course at least. Teach and train them to be men and women of character that they may be trusted and trust others. Train them to persevere. When this is rightfully executed, there will be no serious question about the future of the race.—Cairo Truth. You are right, Bro. Wilson, the bill needs no amendment.—Forum. "Lovely millinery confections" are advertised for only $28. We don't choose any. Plain hats are good enough. To the modern day colored man, Ingalls' phrase, "politics is an irredecentdream," fits smoothly and completely. The big Negro politician (?) is numbered with past history and has no place today. ..Died. — Mrs. Ida Simmons died at her home on South 5th St. Sunday night. Funeral services were held at New Hope Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Joseph Wilson, pastor New Hope Baptist church, left Tuesday for Alabama, where he goes to wind up some business matters there. Quite a party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Lewis Tuesday evening in honor of their niece, Miss Gertrude Johnson, of Muskogee, I. T., who has been visiting with them for several weeks past. A pleasant time was had. DISCOVER NEW GEM. RARE BLUE TOPAZ FOUND IN AFRICA. Recent Announcement Causes Considerable Stir Among Experts—Numerous Varieties of London.—The public interest manifested in the discovery in Rhodesia of what is believed to be a blue topaz has revealed some confusion in regard to this class of gem. In addition to the true topaz, sometimes called "Brazilian" topaz, there are the yellow variety of sapphire, sometimes called "Oriental" topaz, a most lustrous gem of considerable value, and the yellow and brown quartz, known as "Scotch" or "cairn-gorm" topaz, which is obtained in large quantities, and is of little value. The true topaz, however, resembles these stones only in color, and can be easily distinguished by difference of hardness and specific gravity, says Leopold Claremont, the well-known lapidary. It is a transparent gem crystallizing in the rhombic system, generally occurring in right rhombic prisms, and is to be found in many different shades of yellow and brown, green, white, blue, and, rarely, pink and pale red. Some of the dark yellow and brown specimens can be altered to a delicate pink by careful application of heat. Nearly all the pink topazes upon the market have been altered, or, to use the technical term, "pinked" in this way. Next to the pink variety in value comes the blue and greenish topaz. Although somewhat resembling the aquamarine in color and general effect, these varieties are much more brilliant owing to their greater hardness. The localities in which the topaz occurs are, among others, Brazil, Siberia, Asia Minor, Pegu, Ceylon, Victoria, Bohemia, Saxony, Connecticut (U. S. A.) and Japan. The finest specimens, however, are derived from Brazil and Siberia. The chief sources of the topaz in Brazil are Minas Geras, Villa Rica and Nevas mines, the last named being generally used in connection with the white variety. In Siberia the topaz occurs in many districts, notably the Altai and Ural mountains, near Nertchinsk, and also in Kamchatka. If the recent announcement of the discovery of the blue topaz upon the property of the African Option syndicate in Rhodesia be duly confirmed, yet another source of supply of this variety of the gem is available. HENS IN LAYING CONTEST. Winning Team of Four Leghorns Produce 251 Eggs in Four London.—For sixteen weeks 144 hens have been laying eggs against each other at the Lady Warwick agricultural college at Studley castle. The champion—a buff Orpington—laid 75 eggs in that time. The birds were divided into pens, each pen containing four birds of the same breed, in order that some test as to the best laying strain might be applied. The winning "team" consisted of four white Leghorns, which laid between them 251 eggs. A buff Orpington "team" was second, with 236 eggs, and a "team" of the same breed, among the champion bird—was third, with 225 eggs. Some of the eggs weighed two and one-eighth ounces. Pigeon Plays with Kittens. A. Hanford, of Spottsylvania, county, near Fredricksburg, W. Va., has a pigeon which has taken a great fancy to a family of little kittens at his home. The pigeon will go in the box where the kittens are, fight the mother away and play with the kittens until he becomes tired, then fly off and return later. NO.11 THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N.

On Tuesday night, June 12th, at Redman hall, 211 West Douglas, the Searchlight will observe the beginning of the eighth year of its work in Kansas. This occasion will present an opportunity to the churches, lodges, clubs, societies and individuals in Wichita to show a proper appreciation of the interest which the Searchlight has taken in publishing the doings and workings of each. Our columns have been open for all—and against none—and on Tuesday night, June 12th, we will look to see each represented. We will set aside an appropriate space for any society or club that will notify us that they will be represented in a body. We will have a most excellent and appropriate program rendered, and will use every means in our power to make the occasion one of great enjoyment to all who may come out.

Thomas, president." This is an error, and should have read, "Mrs. Thomas Glover, president." In this connection it may be said that the B. T. W. club is doing a great work in Wichita, and for the purpose of furthering their good work they have set apart the afternoon of the first Thursday in each month as "Young People's Day," at which they invite the young people. This is a very commendable step and should be encouraged. VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Porter are having some very valuable pertinent and permanent improvements made at their home, 1459 Sherwood. They have had their house moved several feet east of the former location and have had it raised three feet and a neat three-foot foundation placed. Beside this they are having a cellar excavated, and will have it walled up with cement stone and cemented on the inside, which will make them a handy and convenient place for fruits, vegetables and other goods, which they may wish to store for winter use. The house in its raised condition presents a very commanding and stately appearance, and is a great credit to the push, energy and progressiveness of Mr. and Mrs. Porter. This is what we like to see our people do instead of throwing their money away foolishly and glibly. Buy homes, and if you have a home, improve it, and make it the most inviting home in your community. QUARTERLY METING. Sunday was Quarterly Meeting day at St. Paul A. M. E. church. Presiding Elder A. H. Brooks, of Lawrence, was present and conducted the services all day. This was one of the most successfully Quarterly Meetings ever held in this church. Monday night was "Love Feast," at which a grand spiritual time was had. On Tuesday night the Quarterly Conference was held. The reports of the different departments of the church show a most successful three months, financially, numerically and spiritually. Each report shows that the church was on the progressive march. While each department made a good report it is but right that special credit should be given the Stewardess Board, who through their president, Mrs. N. Howard, and their secretary, Miss Lula Covington, did a most remarkable work durign the last quarter. Each of the ladies of the Stewardess Board deserve special credit for their work. Again special note should be made of the splendid report of the Willing Workers, the ladies' auxiliary of the Trustees. These ladies, through their president, Mrs. A. T. Glover, and their secretary, Mrs. C. A. Glover, made a splendid showing and deserve praise. In short the church is making a rapid march forward in every branch. Olden's Drug Store, 615 N. Main, is still at the old stand where you can get fresh juicy soda. Try one of "Olden's Favorites." KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS SERMON The Knights of Pythias of Wichita held their annual sermon at New Hope Baptist church, last Sunday, under the auspices of Toas lodge No. 10, and Arria Court of Calanthe No. 7. The Knights were led by Imperial Company No. 1, Uniform Rank, who made a most spectacular appearance in their new uniforms and shining swords. The ladies of Aria Court of Calanthe No. 7 followed in hacks with the complement in full regalia. The sermon was preached by Rev. Joseph Wilson, pastor of New Hope.

He is a perfect gentleman and is worthy of citizenship in the Peerless Princess city. The W. T. Vernon club met with Mrs. L. E. Simpson, Monday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by the president and prayer was offered by the chaplain. The roll was called and each member responded with a quotation. After an hour in needlework the club adjourned to meet next Monday with Mrs. Lewis, on North Mosley. Every member is asked to be present as there is business of importance to be considered.

Heal, of the Sunflower Glass company, is the inventor of two glass machines, one for making plate glass and one for the manufacture of window glass. Big Price for Farm. — P. M. Haas has sold the old Herbert Haub farm near Whiting to F. J. Joss of Fairview for $5,000 cash. The farm contains 400 acres. It was the largest price ever paid for a farm in Jackson county. More Trouble for Convict. — When William Smith steps out of the federal prison a free man he was immediately rearrested on a United States warrant charging him with biting an ear off Frank Hood, a fellow convict, last December. Linn County Hay Crop—Good rains have fallen in this part of the state within forty-eight hours. There is general good feeling among the farmers over the precipitation, although the hay crop was somewhat cut short by the dry weather. Indians Won by Default. — In the ninth inning the St. Johns baseball team of Winfield, left the Chilooco Indian schools and the game was given to the Indians. A dispute arose over a decision of the umpire and St. John's refused to finish the game. Sheriff Dism'ssss Militia. — The sheriff at Winfield dismissed the company of state militia ordered here by Gov. Hoch to protect Amasa Thomas, who clubbed Charles McEwan to death, and who was threatened by a mob. All danger of violence is over. Want Gold Certificates. — If Kansas bankers have their way, the people of the United States will have an opportunity to handle five and ten dollar gold certificates. At present there are no gold certificates issued with a face value of less than $20. This new feature in the currency of the country has its life in a resolution passed by the Kansas Bankers' Association. Buy the Caney Plant. — The Caney plant, one of the largest window glass houses of Montgomery county, will start under new management. A deal by which the plant is transferred to a number of Coffeyville men has been practically completed and at the dose of the present fire a number of changes will be made in the equivalent looking forward to the opening the plant next season. Leavenwo th's Building Boom. — according to Leavenworth lumber dealers the biggest building boom which has struck Leavenworth for more than a decade is now in progress. Real estate agents and lumber dealers are united in the statement and they back the story with statements of the'r own business this spring which is declared to be eclipsing anything known in this city for the past ten or fifteen years. Woodmen Hold Session.—A county meeting of the twenty or more camps of the Modern Woodmen located in Summer county were held at Wellington. Public exercises were held at Burford's rink, where Hon. E. A. Enright of Kansas City, Kan., one of the directors of the heed camp, addressed an immense audience on the subject of fraternity. This was followed by secret work, a class of over 100 receiving the degrees of the order. Rural Telephone Device. — H. D. Williams of Vermillion has been granted a patent on a "shut-out" device for rural telephones. With this device in use it is impossible for parties on rural telephone lines to listen during a conversation unless their individual ring is given. One of the greatest inconveniences of the rural telephone system, or party lines, is that when one party on the line is called, every 'phone on the Line is put in connection with the party calling, but with Mr. Williams' device this nuisance is obviated. For New City Building—Great Bend is to have a new city building. The bid for same was let to a Kansas City contractor in the amount of $20,600 and the building is now under erection. No bonds were voted to raise this amount as the cost of the building will be paid out of the general funds of the city. The laying of the corner stone will take place in the near future. The exercises for this occasion will be conducted under the musices of the Masonic lodge of this city. City office holders of early days will be tendered an invitation to be present on this occasion. Among them are A. A. Hurd, of Topeka, first mayor of Great Bend, and Samuel Maher of Kansas City, holding the office later. Wholesale Chicken Thief.—William Reed, a colored man of Curranville, followed out the accredited mania of his race by stealing 51 chickens from his neighbors and fellow citizens.

For the Rural School.—I. L. Dayhoff, state superintendent of schools, is making a campaign for consolidated rural schools. He will devote a great deal of his time to this campaign until his term of office expires, and will then recommend that the legislature make such changes in the present laws as will make consolidation of schools easier of accomplishment. Death From Smallpox.—One of the first, if not the first death from smallpox in Allen county, occurred when H. H. Willis died of that disease.

This is about, the fourth tri-monthly decorating which the old building has been treated to. Money in Savings Bank.—The Baldwin school was one of the first in Kansas to take up the school savings bank.

It will be possible for wage earners with small savings to build homes if the next legislature passes what will be known as a deed of trust law, declared Kansas bankers in annual convention at Wichita. They recognize the need of such a law and will favor a bill before the 1907 legislature that will embody their views of what the law should be. It was declared that a deed of trust law would lower rates of interest encourage loans and make it safe to loan near the full value on real estate security.

Shinn, assessor of the city of Iola, has completed his work and gives out the news that he found 10,183 people in the city.

The valuation fixed by the board a year ago was $6,000 for each car and this was reduced this year to $5,500. The total value of the Pullman property returned for assessment is $301,000 as against $290,000 a year ago.

TWO ARE GUILTY G. L. Thomas and L. B. Taggart Convicted in Federal Court at Kansas City, for Rebating. BURLINGTON OFFICIAL FREE Not Enough Evidence Presented to Hold Crosby on a Charge of Conspiracy-Sentence was Deferred by the Court Until June 5. Kansas City, Mo., May 27.—George L. Thomas of New York and L. B. Taggart, his clerk, were found guilty in the United States court Friday afternoon of conspiracy to violate the interstate commerce laws. The jury was out only 28 minutes. Sentence will not be imposed until Tuesday, June 5. Taggart, who has been present in court only in the person of his counsel, is said to be very ill in New York. The section of the revised statutes, No. 5440, under which Thomas and Taggart were convicted provides that the punishment shall be a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 or imprisonment in the penitentiary for not more than two years, or both fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the court. Thomas and Taggart were convicted of having conspired with George A. Barton of the Barton Bros. Shoe company, of Kansas City, to obtain retain rebates from railroads. On the witness stand George Barton said he never had had any dealing of any kind with Thomas or Taggart and that all such matters were handled by K. L. Barton, who had left the city temporarily. George A. Barton, named in the indictment in common with other shippers, was immune from prosecution because he testified before the federal grand jury that indicted Thomas and Taggart. Counsel for Thomas and Taggart offered no testimony for the defense. Thomas appeared much disheartened when the verdict was read. He seemed much surprised, too, by the outcome of the case, but declined to say anything to reporters. One more conspiracy case remains to be tried. This is the indictment of D. H. Kresky, a freight broker in the Exchange building, charging that he conspired with others to obtain rebates from railroads for shipments of flour from Wichita and other points. Kresky's case is set for June 12, but will hardly be taken up then because of other trials that probably will occupy several days each. The cases against the Armour Packing company, Nelson Morris & Co. and other packers are set for June 9; these charge the accepting of rebates and concessions; the trial of the Burlington railroad for granting rebates and concessions to packers is set for June 6 and of the Chicago & Alton, J. N. Faithorn and F. A. Wann, former officials of the Chicago & Alton, for June 9. The court sustained the demurrow of Crosby's counsel holding that no evidence had been presented to connect Crosby with a conspiracy as charged in the indictment returned last December by the grand jury. This indictment charged that Crosby had conspired with George L. Thomas, a freight broker, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk to pay rebates to certain persons. EIGHT DEAD IN WRECK. Passenger Train Dedicated in Louisville, Ky., With Fatal Effect—Bodies Terribly Mangled. Louisville, Ky., May 29.—An inbound passenger train from Knoxville, Tenn., on the Louisville & Nashville railroad was derailed with fatal effect at Seventh and Hill streets Monday as it was backing through the yards into the Louisville Union station.

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA. Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body —Scratched Until Bled—Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. "Last year I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I continued until well, and now I am ready to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to any one. Mrs. Mary Metzger, Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1905." Charitable Player.

None Deserve so Well of This Country as Its Defenders The Citizen Responsible for the Politician. Portsmouth, Va.. May 31.—The Decoration day ceremonies here were conducted by the Army and Navy union and were the most elaborate and impressive held in recent years. President Roosevelt, who came down from Washington on the government yacht Mayflower, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and two of the younger children made the memorial address. He spoke in part as follows: This day is hallowed and sacred in our history, for on this day throughout the land we meet to pay homage to the memory of the valiant dead who fell in the great civil war. No other men deserve so well of this country as those to whom we owe it that we now have a country. Moreover, the men to whose valor we owe it that the Union was preserved have left us a country reunited in fact as well as in name. They have left us the memory of the great deeds and the self-devotion alike of the men who wore the blue and of the men who wore the gray in the contest where brother fought brother with equal courage, with equal sincerity of conviction, with equal fidelity to a high ideal, as it was given to each to see that ideal. This audience is composed largely of veterans of the civil war, largely of men who have served in or are serving in the Army and Navy of the United States. They are concerned not only with the duties of the soldier and the sailor, but with the duties of the civilian, with all matters affecting the plain, everybody citizen as he does his everyday duties. For we must always remember that in our country our Army and Navy are an army and navy made up of volunteers; all our forces are volunteers; our regulars, afloat and ashore, are merely our fellow-citizens who of their own free will have taken up this particular task. The task once through they return to the body of our citizenship; and exactly as the efficiency of our military service depends chiefly upon the efficiency of the average enlisted man, so the eflipends chiefly up the way in which the average man performs his plain everyday duties. We can not too highly honor the memory of the leaders in the civil war—of Grant and Lee, of Sherman and Johnston, of Stonewall Jackson and Sheridan, of Farragut and of the captains who fought under and against him. But after all the man upon whom the chief credit must rest was the plain man in the ranks, the man in blue or in gray who went in to see the war through, and who did see it through. He had the courage to stand without flinching the blckering of the skirmishes and the hammering of the great fights; he had the steadfast endurance to bear with uncomplaining resolution the hunger and the heat and the cold, the scorching days and freezing nights, the grinding, heartbreaking fatigue of the marches, the wearisome monotony of the comps, and the slow suffering of the field hospitals. Leadership is necessary in order that we may get really good results out of a high average of individual character; but without the high character in the average individual the leadership by itself can avail but little. Now it is easy to say this in words which shall imply merely flattery of the average voter or of the average enlisted man. I certainly do not intend my words to be so taken. It is a sure sign of weakness in any man if he is always wanting to be flattered and especially if he lets his head be turned by flattery. The average voter needs to learn and to keep steadily in mind the fact that if in the last resort the real power is his, so in the last resort the real responsibility is his. He cannot cast off on anyone else the responsibility for our governmental shortcomings. Nothing is cheaper than to say that the people are all right but that the politicians are all wrong. As a matter of fact politics and therefore politician, will in the long run represent faithfully either the wishes or the indifference of the people, and if the people are in different the results are just about as bad as if they deliberately choose to go wrong. In closing I ask your attention to the fact that our soldiers and sailors are able to do their duty in great emergencies even other than those of war. Recently the most appalling disaster that has ever befallen any city in our country, the most appalling disaster that has befallen any city of the same size for a century past, befall the great and beautiful city of San Francisco. In the midst of their horror and pity and sympathy the rest of our people were rendered proud and glad by the courage, the self-reliance, the self-command shown by the men and women of San Francisco themselves under the sudden and awful calamity which had befallen them. We had yet another source of pride in the fact that the first Americans outside the city who were able to extend relief and help were the officers and enlisted men of the garrison and the ships in the immediate neighborhood of San Francisco. PACKERS ARE FRIGHTENED. PACKERS ARE FRIGHTENED. The President Speaks Softly but exhibits Huge Club. American Public Must Be Protected from Impure Foods or Conditions Will Be Made Known. Washington, May 29.—Senator Culom, Speaker Cannon, Representative Lorimer and Representative Madden, all of Illinois, called at the White house Saturday in behalf of the Chicago packers. The packing interests insist that the Beveridge bill is too stringent and should be modified in some of its provisions. The president not only refused to make concessions, but insisted upon the passage of the Beveridge bill at this session of congress. The Illinois senators and representatives are unwilling to go on record as opposing the inspection of the packing house products, but felt that it was their duty to present the wishes of constituents who represent such tremendous business interests. Senator Beveridge gave an interview after the visit of the Illinois delegation to the White house, further urging the necessity for the passage of the bill. Senator Beveridge asserted with some show of heat that it was just as essential to protect Americans from impure foods as to protect the foreign trade of the packers. Washington, May 29.—Another important conference was held at the White house Monday regarding the meat inspection amendment of Senator Beveridge of Indiana to the agricultural bill. The president discussed the question with Senator Carter of Montana and Prof. Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, who investigated certain packing houses and later talked over the matter with Senator Beveridge. New York, May 29.—The New York Times printed Monday what it declares to be the substance of the Neill report upon the conditions in the Chicago packing houses. The New York Times says its statement may be taken authoritatively. It says in part: "The Neill commissioners say that lard is manufactured from hogs which die from Cholera; that the meat inspectors are incompetent and overworked; that sanitary conditions prevailing in the packing houses are revolting; that the packers use preservatives and that meat is sold to Americans which is deemed unit for exportation to Europe. The commission's remedy for all this is publicity. BURTON MAY BE EXPELLED The Kansas Senator Gliven Until June 1 to Resign His Sent in the Senate. Washington, May 27.—Unless Senator Joseph R. Burton of Kansas, who has been convicted of a crime and has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment and to pay a fine, resigns his seat in the senate within one week. action will be taken to have him expelled from that body. Notice to that effect will be served on Burton by members of the committee on privileges and elections, which considered his case Friday. He will have until next Friday to make up his mind. On that day the committee will meet with the intention of reporting a resolution of expulsion if Burton does not get out. Burton's proposal to Senator Burrows, chairman of the committee, that provided no action were taken on his case in the meantime, Burton would resign his seat if the supreme court denied the application for a rehearing of the case, was brought to the committee's attention, but was immediately rejected. Senator Foraker and Senator Knox were particularly insistent that some action should be taken at once against Burton unless he voluntarily retired from the senate. It was evident from the views exchanged that the committee was unanimously in favor of ridding the senate of Burton. The Fight for Burton's Place. Topeka, Kan., May 27.—Gov. E. W. Hoch has decided to appoint a successor to Senator J. R. Burton just as soon as the latter resigns, as the indications now are that he will do very soon. Will be No Insurance Legislation. Washington, May 29.—There will be no insurance legislation at this session of congress. The insurance companies which have been waging a determined fight against the enactment of the Ames model insurance measure have won at least a temporary victory. The house committee on the judiciary, which has been spending much time listening to the statements of insurance commissioners from various states, actuaries and representatives of big insurance companies, has finally agreed that the bill shall not be reported at this session. The reason assigned is that the subject is too much involved, too intricate to be examined carefully and passed upon in the brief time remaining between now and adjournment date. Missouri Must Pay Costs. Washington, May 28.—The supreme court Monday granted the motion of the state of Illinois for an order requiring the state of Missouri to pay the cost in the recent cases between the state involving the right of the Chicago sanitary canal to empty its waters in the Mississippi river. The decision was announced by Justice Holmes. You Look Prematurely Old DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and Receive Valuable Advice Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many Mrs T.C.Willadsen continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physicians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the reason why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician. Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped her children in Indiana. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines beating female trouble and would daily have fainting spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your advice and received a letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commended Compound, and I have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you I would have been in my grave to-day." Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for restoring women's health. MEANT FOR MERRIMENT. A cynic is a person who has been dieting and leading the simple life.

George Hoadley of Ohio: Once upon a time, in the midst of a campaign, Mr. Hoadley was to deliver a speech at a little town in the great and glorious Buckeye State. When he reached the one hotel the town boasted he walked up to the register and wrote his name. The proprietor-headporter-steward-headwaiter-depot - runner was behind the desk in his shirt sleees, his hat on the back of his head, and a cigar stump held between his teeth. When the visitor had put down his John Hancock, the factum turned the register around, read without the flicker of an eyelid the name there written, wrote "10" beside it with a lead pencil, and said: "You kin jest take yer grip right up that stairway there an' back down the hall clean to th' end. Yer room's right on th' left hand side of th' hall, in th' corner—number 10." With considerable astonishment and not a little injured dignity Ohio's chief executive pointed to his name, smiled faintly, and said: "I am George Hoadly." "Yep; I notice," said the rustic without turning a hair. "An' yer room's right there at th' end of th' hall—number 10. Can't miss it." With more hauteur, and almost quivering with outraged importance, the guest said impressively: "I am George Hoadly, governor of the state of Ohio!" Turning, then, with a look of exasperated impatience on his face, the hotel man exclaimed: "Well, what d'ye expect me t' do—kiss ye?"—Judge. PERSONAL PARTICULARS. George R. Patterson, the Pennsylvaniaian, who died recently, was the only "traveling man" in congress. Mr. Patterson was proud of the fact that he was a flour salesman, and had put it in his official biography. After a period of 53 years spent in the service of the Jews' free school, Bell lane, Spitalfields, England, L. B. Abrahams, the head master, will shortly retire. He is 67 years old. Israel Zangwill was one of his pupils. The Jews' free school is said to be the largest elementary school in the world, having 3,500 pupils. There is nothing doubtful about the record of the descent from revolutionary stock of Mrs. Annie Knight Gregory of Sellingsgrove, Pa. She is the daughter and thirteenth child of Richard Knight, who was a drummer boy in the continental army. Mrs. Gregory was the daughter of his third wife and was born when he was 83 years old. One can hardly imagine that dignified and zealous temperance advocate, Lady Henry Somerset, as a practical joker, and yet it is a fact that she and her cousin, Lady Dudley, once dressed up as a pair of French tourists and in this guise and heavily veiled visited her place at Eastnor castle and went all over it. But apparently she was not sufficiently impressed by the beauties of her own residence, for afterward her housekeeper confided to her that "that duchess de Montmorenci" the name which Lady Henry had given herself—"was a disagreeable creature."

Then, as she looked upon the kind old face, a feeling rushed upon her that she must share her wonderful news with somebody—she must let someone into the secret which till then had been the sole possession of herself and Harold. She sprang up and flung her arms about her aunt's neck. "Oh, auntie," she cried impulsively, "you do love me, don't you? Kiss me, auntie, and tell me you do—kiss me!" But only an alarming gurgle came from the old lady for a moment. Then she said, gasping indignantly: "Kiss you, if you ain't careful I'll shake the life out of you.

"Oh, yes; I think it will look perfectly sweet! It is a foulard in one I'm a wreck in the key of G flat. I side-stepped in among a bunch of language-heavers yesterday and ever since I've been sitting on the ragged edge with my feet hanging over. I was on my way down to Wall street to help J. Pierpont Morgan buy a couple of railroads and all the world seemed as blithe and gay as a love clinch from Laura Jean Libbey's latest. When I climbed into the cable-car I felt like a man who had mailed money to himself the night before. I was aces. And then somebody blew out my gas. At the next corner two society flashlights flopped in and sat next to me. They had a lot of words they wanted to use and they started in. The car stopped and two more of the 400's leading ladies jumped the hurdles and came down the aisle. They sat on the other side of me. In a minute they began to bite the dictionary. Their efforts aroused the energies of three women who sat opposite me, and they proceeded to beat the English language black and blue. In a minute the air was so full of talk that the grip germs had to pull out on the platform and chew the conductor. The next one to me on my left started in: "Oh, yes; we discharged our cook day before yesterday, but there's another coming this evening, and so——" Her friend broke away and was up and back to the center with this: "I was coming down Broadway this morning and I saw Julia Marlowe's leading man. I'm sure it was him, because I saw the show once in Chicago and he has the loveliest eyes I ever looked at!" I knew that that was my cue to walk out, kick the motorman in the knuckles, upset the car and send in a fire call, but I passed it up. I just sat there and bit my nails like the heavy villain in one of Corse Payton's ten, twen, thr dramas. That "loveliest eyes" speech had me groggy. Whenever I hear a woman turn on that "loveliest eyes" gag about an actor I always feel that a swift slap from a wet dish-rag would look well on her back hair. Then the bunch across the aisle got the flag. "Well, you know," says the broad lady who paid for one seat and was L.

Then I take a piece of butter about the size of a walnut, and thoroughly grease the bottom of a frying-pan; then beat five eggs to a froth, and—" I'm hoping the conductor will come in and give us all a tip to take to the limber because the cops are going to pinch the room, but there's nothing doing. One of the dames on my right finds her voice and passes it around:— "Oh, I think it's a perfect fright! I always did detest electric blue, any- way. It is so unbecoming, and I've just decided that this lady ought to make up as a Swede servant girl and play the part, when her friend books in; STREET CAR." "Oh, yes; I think it will look perfectly sweet!

WITH HIS MANDOLIN. the while wita talk about foulard and crepe de chine and guimpes! Wouldn't it lead you to a padded cell? Say! I was down and out—no kidding! I wanted to get up and fight the door-tender, but I couldn't. One of the conversationalists was sitting on my overcoat. I felt that if i got up and called my coat back to Papa she might lose the thread of her story, and the jar would be something frightful. So I sat still and saved her life. The one on my right must have been the Lady President of The Hammer Club. She was talking about some other girl and she didn't do a thing to the absent one. She said she was svelte. I suppose that's Dago for a shine. That's the way with some women. They can't come right out and call another woman a polish. They have to beat around the bush and chase their friends to the swamps by throwing things like "svelte" at them. Tush! I tried to duce... the foreign tattle on my right ane by so doing I'm next to this on my left: "Oh, yes; I think politics is just too lovely! I don't know whether I'd rather be a Democrat or a Republican, but I think—oh! just look at the hat that woman has on! Isn't that a fright? Wonder if she trimmed it herself. Of course she did; you can tell by—" I'm gasping for breath when the broad lady across the aisle gets the floor: "No, indeed! I didn't have Eliza vaccinated. Why, she's too small yet, and don't you know my sister's husband's brother's child was vaccinated, and she is younger than our Eliza, but I don't just care, I don't want——" Then the sweet girlish thing on my left gave me the corkscrew jab. It was the finish: "Isn't that lovely? Well, as I was telling you, Charlie came last night and brought Mr. Storeclose with him. Mr. Storeclose is awfully nice. He plays the mandolin just too sweet for anything, and——" Me!—to the oyster beds! No male impersonators garroting a mandolin—not any in mine! When I want to take a course in music I'll climb into a public library and read how Baldy Sloane wrote the Tiger Lily with one hand tied behind him and his feet on the piano.

EASY LESSONS IN DRAWING By FREDERICK RICHARDSON ( Instructor in Composition and in Charge of Illustration Classes in the Art Institute, Chicago. ) This series of articles is supposed to have covered the training of the pupil from the first school grade through his high school years. It has been devised to give the pupil with no particular talent for drawing an expression by drawing that makes the least demand upon such talent and to give the pupil with talent an outlet as free from restraint as guarded from the evils of imperfect training Jack the G ```markdown ``` FALLING ON THE WALL Jack the Giant Killer. which of necessity lie in the conditions of the average school. Scope Covered by Series. It is not expected to supply a proper art school training, but to prepare the pupil for such a course at the proper time if the talent developed should warrant. If it has left unanswered the questions which naturally arise in the case of the pupil who never could learn to draw well by any A ```markdown ``` A man in a long shirt sits on a bed, looking at a cat. Whittington and His Cat. method, it has given enough positive material to permit that pupil to do the most with his limited ability. It has substituted for an irksome and useless technical training for eye and hand a harmless diversion for the mind and imagination. No pretension has been made to accomplish the impossible with pupil or teacher. If the temperament was Pirates A THE BOAT not there it has been the endeavor to point out the restrictions that would exist, as they must, with music, poetry or any art which lies with the gifted few. By eliminating the absolutely impossible and leaving the possible and fairly probable the work has done what it could for the average condition. Particular cases might have been slightly helped by particular treatment, but those were not the important cases. It has been the --- sacrifice of the hopeless to the salvation of the possible. In this respect it is the hope that the teacher has read between the lines in the earlier articles, where real and supposed criticisms were given, and has followed the suggestion through the later articles, where the work has apparently neglected the weak and turned to the cultivation of the strong. iant Killer. It has sought to relieve the teacher of demands by leaving to the chance talent of a class of pupils the development of sufficient merit to serve as guide for the rest of the class. To this end it has been reiterated that in the strength of the strong work of the class lies the best instructive element of a drawing class. Story-Telling Work. To whatever degree the high school ```markdown ``` work, as begun with the story-telling pictures of the last few articles, may be pushed it is to be carried along the same lines. The simplified forms are to be given that any may draw them, the best combinations of them within the teacher's ability given where the pupil is not to invent all of his picture, the pupil to take his material forms and invent new com- Bold. binations, the result of the class work to be compared and criticised and the best of the pictures to serve as examples for the rest of the class. Many suggestions have been made for the cultivation of observation, imagination, and these should be interspersed from time to time to give variety and interest. The teacher will find that so many temperaments exist in a large class that the subjects must be varied to give each a chance. Pirates Bold. The realistic temperament may succeed where the poetic will fail. Imagination is not given to all. Prettiness and triviality may be the limit of some, while others have no feeling for anything but the grotesque or the humorous. Do not look for a highly decorative sense where a plain everyday statement is to be expected. In short, the teacher may wish to teach art, but all pupils are not intended for artists. It is much easier to talk art for artists than it is to talk art for the artistic. Art School Training. And here is a word for the teacher or parent who finds that the training that has so far been followed has resulted in what seems to be fair promise of talent. What seems to be a fair promise of talent is often a very deceptive exhibition of superficial ability, as our art school will testify. But if this trial of the talent is to be made take the pupil at an early enough age to insure his plasticity and place him under the severe academical training of a good art school. The question of a good general education, college or otherwise, answers itself. The future artists needs that as anyone needs, and it is not to be lost sight of before entering or after the art school is entered. Once in an art school, time should be allowed for the supposed talent to proclaim itself or the mistake will be discovered. The talent that is worth the while will recognize the necessity of its cultivation by academic training and will adjust the relation of its expression to the means by which it is to be gained. Object drawing and the training of the eye and hand will here stand in their proper places, as was stated when it was said that they had little place in the public school as usually taught. The time for any looked-for result is so variable with conditions and temperament that any limitation would be deceptive. In any art school such advice ought to be found which could reliably answer the question for the individual case. Illustrations Given. The illustrations given are from the story subjects suggested two weeks ago. Their symbol form may be reduced by the teacher before giving the instance of combination to the class. THE FLOWER INDUSTRY. Has Had Rapid Growth in the United States in the Last Thirty Our country is much behind England in orchard houses, vineries, pineries and so on. This is the case for two reasons—first, the extent of our territory, and, second, advance in this direction being unnecessary because of our rapid transit. But in the growing of roses, violets, carnations and certain vegetables we are ahead of any other country in the world. This industry has made rapid strides during the last 50 years, due to the increase in wealth and population and the demand for greater variety of fruits and vegetables. As the demand increased specialization became necessary, and horticulturists no longer exist who grow various kinds of plants in large quantities. They are divided into three classes, the growing of cut flowers, ornamental plants and vegetables. Roses, carnations and violets have seen the greatest advance in flower culture. The annual sale in this country is from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 worth of cut roses, which represents from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 flowers. The industry has been most developed in the neighborhood of our largest cities. The carnation comes next in importance, and the most successful greenhouses are in the vicinity of New York and Chicago. There are annually produced and sold in this country from $4,000,000 to $4,500,000 worth of carnations, or from 100,000,000 to 125,-000,000 blooms. Before this impetus to flower culture came violets were raised almost entirely under outdoor frames of cheap construction, but as the demand increased these became impracticable and were supplanted by cheap greenhouses. There are about 500,000 square feet of glass devoted to the culture of this flower in the vicinity of Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck alone. The value of the crop of vegetables is much less than that of flowers, but still there are 5,000,000 square feet of glass devoted to) this industry. Under favorable conditions this will bring to the owner an average of 50 cents per square foot. Sudden Change. Two commercial travelers, one from London and one from New York, were discussing the weather in their respective countries. The Englishman said that English weather had one great fault—its sudden changes. "A person may take a walk one day," he said, "attired in a light summer suit, and still feel quite warm. Next day he needs an overcoat." "That's nothing," said the American. "My two friends, Johnson and Jones, were once having an argument. There were eight or nine inches of snow on the ground. The argument got heated, and Johnson picked up a snowball and threw it at Jones from a distance of not more than five yards. During the transit of that snowball, believe me or not, as you like, the weather changed and became hot and summerlike, and Jones, instead of being hit with a snowball, was—er—scalded with hot water!"
