We accept his statement that it was impossible to get a vote on his wider bill adn that if it had been possible, the bill was sure to meet defeat. We acquiesce in his judgment that he compromise so as to have a chance to get something for these outraged soldiers rather than lose all by persisting. We believe he has at heart the welfare of these men for whom he has fought the cost of his po litical future. We would not be sos niggardly nor so unnateful as to condemn him because he could not do the impossible, nor because he thought it best to use discretion. He has suffered too much for us, and he has done too much for us, and he has not given up yet. All honor, all praise, all thanks to Borker, who has saved the reputation of the Colored soldiers and of the Colored race, and all honor to Bulkeley who persists in the fight.—Guardian, Boston. Nowadays we hear so much talk about race enterprises that some company or body of men are going to launch, and following close upon the heads of these announcements we hear so many wise individuals advising as to how they should be conducted. Now if there is anything that the colored race is famous for it is for talking and advising others as to what we ought to do and how we ought to do. We start laundries, grocery stores, restaurants and investment companies and this same class talks the loudest and longest are the very last individuals to patronize either. e start industrial schools and teach girls to sew, make dresses, bonnets, hats, etc., and the boys how to become brick layers, carpenters and machinists of all kinds, and when these boys and girls are grown out into the world to make a living instead of helping and encouraging them we take our dresses to a white dressmaker, our hats to a white tailor, our coats to a white tailor, our carpentering to white carpenters, our printing to a white printer, and so down the line we go. It is true that all do not do this thing, but what we need the better class or the "upper tens" they are largely the offenders in this matter. Many of our ministers, doctors, lawyers and men of affairs never think of helping some struggling boy or girl to obtain a foothold, or of enraging enterprises started by the race. But just here them orate and promote upon race enterprises.—Admire, Portland, Ore. --- RACE ENTERPRISES ate the dike plk art apt Between the Abstract Negro and the Individual Columbia, N. C., —N. O. Nelson, writing in the Independent, notes a the white man towards the "abstract egro" and the "individual Negro" that will doubtless prove interesting to Northern readers. The distinction exists, as know, and it goes to demonstrate once more than in actual life the "Negro problem" is not nearly so acute as it seems to be when it is figured out on paper, says Mr. Nelson. My neighbors are about half of them white and half of them black. A few of the blacks own farms, mots of them rent on shares, some of them for cash. They are little poorer than the whites, work about the same, are intelligent, peaceable and take life easy. The whites are very vigorous in their denunciation of the Negro in the abstract, but the Negro neighbor they treat as well and think as well of as ent that the abstract Negro shall keep in his place; the actual Negro never gets out of his place or disturbs their equanimity in the least. This is what I have found everywhere—the abstract Negro, the imaginary social connoiterate, fiercelyy assailed, the individual Negro treated just like any other man. This distinction between theory and practice is what makes the problem so much more bewildering to the alien student who solicits "opinions" about the "abstract Negro" than to the habitant who has his attention directed only to the "individual Negro." We believe it is reported that even Senator Tillman who on the stump advocates the promiscuous shooting up" of the Negro race lives on his farm in a condition of peace and good will toward his Negro farm hands.—Columbia State. Harrisburg, Pa.—The jury in the second Capitol conspiracy case was selected and James Scarlet will open the long awaited trial for the Commonwealth, showing what it expects to prove against the six defendants at the bar. The defendants are Joseph M. Huston, of Philadelphia, the architect of the Capitol and several other prominent individuals. They are charged with defrauding the State out of about $5,000 in a bill of $17,000 for metallic furniture. For the first time i n the history of Dauphin county a colored man was selected as the first juror in an important case, becoming foreman, according to the custom followed here. He is Samuel Cole. COLORED JURYMAN FROM THE GENERAL CONFER ENCE. Special to The Searchlight. Norfolk, Va.—The week in the A. M. E. General Conference has been somewhat breezy. The reports thus far are very favorable. Dr. Parks reported that the receipt for the missionary department during the past four years had been $133.258.96. He was highly complimented for the work accomplished, as he had on hand a cash balance of $4,034.29. Prof. John R. Hawkins desired to have the General Conference rescind action by which the general officers were debarred from serving on committees. "I am a general officer, and a member of this general conference, and while we do not ask to serve on any committees, we do not want you to take away our rights. I am sure you will not do this." "We have a right to say whether or not general officers shall serve on committees," shouted the Rev. Dr. R. D. Stinson, of Georgia, "and we will say." There were many men on the floor. The motion was reconsidered and general officers are eligible to serve on committees. Dr. Lampton made his report, which showed that he had a balance of $24.000 on hand. The Louisiana trio rendered a selection and following this the gavel was turned over to ishap Evans Tyree, of Tennessee, who presided during the day. When he arose he was presented with a star made of white tea roses and smilax with "10" in the center, representing the State of Texas, over which he presided, and the Tenth district. In taking the gavel he said: "I am going to ask you to do what you are not going to do, and that is to be in order during the day. You are disgracing yourselves, you are disgracing the church by the manner you are acting, and I want to ask this intelligent body of men in the name of the race you represent, in the name of the church you love, and I in the name of the God you serve, to be in order and act as become intelligent men." Higher Education. Dr. Jones said that he believed in all forms of education, and for that reason did not think any particular form should be designated for his people. "The Negro was brought from the shores of Africa to this country for the sole purpose of being the hewer of wood and the drawer of water. He was to fell the virgin forest, build homes, till the soil, but not for his own enjoyment and gratification, but that of the white man. Hence he was trained in handicraft. I am not opposed to industrial education, but I am opposed to any man's substituting work education for real education. You cannot raise man up to the higher realm by training his hands alone, you msut wake up his soul. Man or Beast. "If the Negro is a man he should be educated for the destiny and duty of a man, and if he is a beast then he must be educated as a beast. I have examined him and found him to be a man, and as such should have a man's education. The system of industrial education for a mule would be the proper use of the collar, the ox is the proper adjustment of the yoke, but to the Negro is to give him the kind of education that belongs to a man. Give your children industrial education and at the same time give them intellectual and spiritual culture of the highest possible type." "The farce is ended," announced Cicely, with a high nose, as she seated herself in the auto beside me. "I don't propose to be made a laughing-stock by a mere man." "On me," considered I, because of my recent attentions to the Other Girl; but I sheathed my reply in a glittering generality. "No self-respecting girl would," I observed, with outward ostentation and an inward cringe. "And the sooner he realizes it," she pursued, as she shot into the high road, "well!" She shrugged meaningly, regarding me with wrath-black eyes from between two pink chiffon curtains. "That vell," I hastened to observe, "is about the most becoming thing I ever saw you we—" She cut me off with an icy stare. I took refuge in a smile, and lost myself in contemplation of Cicely's dimple. An ominous pause ensued, broken only by the swift hum of wheels over the hard clay road. To the right an endless chain of buttercups gleamed gold in the dapple sunlight; on the left was a sharp, sterile decellity. We skimmed dizzily past, around a narrow curve, down, down, and up again to level ground before Cicely broke the silence. me, for all her concealed triumph eyes. "Can you doubt reading those differently." "Scarcely. But yet who she—whose queried with cern. I winced under of satire, but re-The girl I love. "Oh! She" she snapped into delicate Another horrible grip. Then, the utterance, I plea marry him!" My eyes ridicule Cicely treated me stare. "You are best livered, frigidly, to the whirling. On we sped I three miles. I Cicely sat very pressed and coo hair blowing in a across her whirl want to kill you do you?" I hear the noise of the whirling of the whirl "I might as well tell you," she announced, the light of battle in her eye, "that I have accepted Jack Ransdale." "The devil you have!" I exclaimed with unconscious profanity, putting on brakes so precipitately as to jeopardize both our lives. "It—it's sudden, isn't it?" I queried, apologetically. "Oh, not so awfully," she responded, airily, with a rush of crimson to her temples. I tried to get at her eyes; but only two glistening rows of jetty fringe across the pink line of her cheeks greeted my agonized glance. Suddenly she laughed and tossed her head, shaking down a whole cataract of sun-gold curls. I turned toward her with a forlorn hope. "It's all a jest, a huge joke," I suggested, feebly, but hopefully—despite my rising ire. "Well, hardly," retorted Cicely, drawing herself up. "Then," remarked I, glacially, pride rallying to my assistance, "we're in for mutual congratulations." Cicely gave a start, holding tremulously to the cloudy pink streamers flying beneath her dimple chin. Then: "Really!" she exclaimed, gushing, "how lovely!" "If you don't believe it, I babbled on, in a quite overdone effort to convince, "read that." I produced a closely-written sheet of note paper from my inside pocket and thrust it into her little gloved paw. I watched her excitedly as she scanned the endearing contents. In a moment she returned it to me with a disdainful little gesture. "Maudlin, she sniffed, contemptuously, "mere drivel, 'Angel' and 'your devoted slave,' Ugh!" A ripple of silent scorn flitted over her face. Her poise was enviable, to say the least; though her lips were not so red as before. Spleen getting the rein of me at this juncture, I skimmed a couple of miles in twice as many minutes. Suddenly I felt the clutch of terrified fingers on my biceps. "You are mad!" she cried, white as death. At the next turn I slowed down a trifle, allowing momentary breathing space. "By the way," began Cicely, calm restored, "you seem quite confident that she will accept you." She regarded JUST THE WOMAN HE WANTED JUST THE WOMAN HE WANTED Farmer Saw Congenial Helpmate in Heroine of Senator's Story. When Senator James A. Hemenway of Indiana was campaigning he delivered an address before an audience of farmers in a country schoolhouse. In the course of his remarks he reviewed the great agricultural prosperity of the country, and as an illustr me, for all her demureness, with unconcealed triumph in her flashing eyes. "Can you doubt my assurance after reading those lines?" I asked her, indifferently. "Scarcely. But you haven't told me yet who she—who the lucky girl is?" she queried with elaborate unconcern. I winced under the dainty inflection of satire, but retorted, sententiously: "The girl I love." "Oh!" She smiled; her brows went up into delicate black arcs. Another horrible silence held us in grip. Then, the idiot in me rushing to utterance, I pleaded: "Dearest, don't marry him!" My voice was flimsy, my eyes ridiculous (I presume), for Cicely treated me to a most incisive stare. "You are beside yourself," she delivered, frigidly, giving her attention to the whirling landscape. On we sped like fury, one, two—three miles. I was beside myself. Cicely sat very still, her lips compressed and colorless, her loosened hair blowing in a cloud of tangled gold across her white face. "You don't want to kill yourself and—and me, do you?" I heard indistinct, above the noise of the machine and the shriek of the wind in our ears. "Life isn't worth living," I hurled back, brutally, and shot crossways of a curve. After a breathless minute I turned and looked into Cicely's eyes. They were wide, brave, but miserable. Compunction seized me. "I'm a contemptible brute," I apologized, bursting with contition. "I've frightened you half to death." I slowed down as rapidly as discretion would permit. My bravado was obviously on the decline; Cicely's went up like a see-saw. "Oh, I don't know," said she, with a shrug. "I did not care about having my hair fanned to tatters. Otherwise, I rather enjoyed it." "Yes," I assented, lamely; "yes, of course." "I think we'd better be turning round," she suggested presently, in a matter-of-fact tone; "it's late." The gray dusk already obscured her features. "I suppose we had," I agreed, savagely, "for I've work to do before another moon." "Work?" she questioned, politely, but uninterestedly. "With Ransdale, yes," I muttered, grimly. "Jack!" She called the world in a little inarticulate whisper of alarm. And well she might have. "Exactly," I went on in a relentless voice. "I mean to grind him to pulp this very night." She stared at me a moment with wonderful eyes; then she laughed outright. "While I am—while the Other Girl and I are choosing our weapons," she said, quickly; but her voice broke curiously under its veneer of badinage. "Cicely!" I cried, with sudden intulition, "I'm sorry—upon my word, I never meant a word of it. The whole thing was a humbug; see—I am tearing the letter in two! The fact is—" She broke in upon my incoherence with a little tremor of laughter. "Don't," she said; "send—it—to me, instead." I eyed her with a dawning suspicion. "Are you sure you did not know all along?" I demanded. "Know what?" She drew back with flushing cheeks. "Why, that it was meant for you all the time!" I exclaimed, ingenuously. tion told a story of a poor farmer who had died, leaving his wife the farm heavily mortgaged. He said that the widow set to work with z will and succeeded upon one year's wheat crop in paying off the entire mortgage. When he had completed his speech, the senator, as is customary on such occasions, shook hands and greeted the members of his audience. One mid- Clicely studied me solutinally for a second, then buried her nose in my lapel. The road was deserted at this spot. "Dear Dick!" she whispered. "But—but Ransdale?" I questioned, anxiously. "You're going to make sausage out of him, aren't you?" she asked, naively. "I'm afraid my gory intentions will not avail me my heart's desire—now," I remarked with great bitterness of soul. I began to shift in my seat, and putting on a pretty stiff speed, just managed to elude a four-in-hand. "I was piqued with someone when I wrote that letter—accepting Jack," she breathed in my ear. "But," I objected, strenuously, "it doesn't help me out, does it." Clicely crimped up her lips into a Jacqueminot rosebud. "I don't believe you're a bit glad," she pouted. "That I am not," I cried, indignantly, "if you mean that you have promised yourself to Ransdale!" She lifted the corners of her eyes to me for a second, with the gold of her hair and the pink of her veil blowing ravishingly against her poppy-red cheeks. "I haven't malled it—yes," said she, Squaws Wear Silk. Silks and satins are none too good for the Indian women on some of the western reservations. A writer who visited the trading post at Naudau says that the women were hitting up the demand for silk and satin, canned goods and other luxuries at a furious rate. The storekeeper at the post announced that certain silken scarfs, perhaps 18 inches square, of bright red, blue and purple colors, were selling like hot cakes at from $1.50 to $2 apiece. The scarfs are worn by the squaws in the manner of a fascinator, and no care as to their cleanliness, etc., seemed to be taken by the owners. Visitors saw many squaws at the post dressed in the finest of silk, but it is put on in such a manner that the beauty of the goods is lost.—Fur News. What Becomes of Them? An old friend informs me that worn-out billiard balls are cut up into dice. Worn-out footballs are hung on walls as relics. Worn-out baseballs fall into the hands of the street urchins, who ultimately tear them apart and play with the rubber insides. Worn-out moth balls are used to keep the tarnish off silver. Worn-out golf balls are lost—New York Press. A Necessary Quality. We require a certain firmness in all circumstances of life, even the happiest, and perhaps contradictions come in order to prove and exercise this; and, if we can only determine so to use them, the very effort brings back tranquility to the soul, which always enjoys having exercised its strength in conformity to duty.—William von Humboldt. Indian Cure for Smallpox We publish a simple cure for small-pox kindly sent by a correspondent: "One ounce cream of tartar, dissolved in water, drunk at intervals when cold," is the recipe, and in recommending it the correspondent says it "has cured thousands, never leaves a mark, never causes blindness, and brings speedy relief."—Advocate of India. She Knew. "Miss Sharpe—er—Vera," he stammered, "you must know why I've been calling here so much; why I sit here in the parlor with you night after night—" "I suppose, Mr. Kloseman," the girl interrupted, "it's cheaper to do that than take me out anywhere." Catholic Standard and Times. A Testimonial. We candidly acknowledge that the pictures with which Punch is illustrating some of our oldest jokes are excellent. dle-aged farmer finally approached him thoughtfully and began: "Senator, you tol' a story 'bout the widow raising a mortgage on one year's crop?" "Yes, my friend, that was a true story." "Senator, could you tell me who that widow is?" queried the farmer. "She's just the kind of woman I've been lookin' for all the time." A certain degree of solitude seems necessary for the full growth and spread of the highest mind.—Novalis. THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N.

MUST HAVE HOME-TOWN PRIDE. The time is now at hand when the colored people of Wichita must have home-town pride, and help build up, maintain, support and encourage enterprises for and in this city. The white people have commercial organizations, etc., that each day are boosting for Wichita and Wichita enterprises, and the colored people must do the same if they would see the race make that progress in this city which they should. Every legitimate, bona fide Negro enterprise in Wichita raises the racial standard that much enhances the value of your town and makes each Negro more valuable as a citizen. Stop being so eager to boost wildcat adventurers who only seek to prey on the race. Give your aid to those enterprises that have proven substantial and praiseworthy.

New York has been having an exhibition of nearly 200 dolls, collected from all nations, and representing centuries of doll development. Dolls are in existence which date back to 4000 B.C. They were found in Egyptian graves, and are simply miniature mummies. But the oldest dolls of Mrs. Starr's unique collection are from Peking, and came from the palace of the dowager empress. Mrs. Starr has dolls representing Dutch fishwives, women from Lapland equipped with snowshoes, Indian soothsayers, Mexican runners, French lacemakers and New England country girls of a century ago. One Egyptian doll was made entirely of mud, except its hair. An other was constructed of a bamboo stick, dressed in a single garment, and with a mass of long black hair. The gith of a tree was carved into a charming doll, and California seaweed was the material of another. A perplexed lady came to the teacher of her grandchildren, says Youth's Companion, with a weary plaint as to the indifference of the two little girls to the sound knowledge which interested their three brothers. "The boys love butterflies and stones and shells and plants, and will read every book I give them on natural science. They are eager to know about everything, from the stars in the sky to the weeds by the roadside. But Mary and Nelly—what do you suppose is their one enthusiasm?" she asked, dejectedly, "Dolls, I guess," said the wise teacher; "and a healthy passion it is, too. We won't interfere with the course of nature, dear grandmother of boys-and-girls; for until the world turns the other way on its axis, and plants grow with their roots in the air and their blossoms in the ground, we may expect our girl babies to love dolls!" "Summer baseball" is a matter which is already rousing the interest of a great many high-school and college boys, to some of whom will come excellent opportunities to earn money during vacation by playing on professional or semi-professional teams. By the athletic rules now almost universally in use, those who accept such positions will be debarred from playing on any college team. The rule was established to keep college sport free from professionalism, and has been regarded as wise. Later, however, a disposition to question its wisdom has been shown by prominent college presidents and professors. They point out that what is wanted is to prevent college boys from giving undue prominence to sport. To this end it is desirable to keep professional ballplayers from entering college merely to play ball; but that is no reason why a genuine student, under the necessity of earning his way through college, should not be left as free to do it by playing ball as by teaching school or selling books. The change of feeling on this matter, says the Youth's Companion, is interesting as showing a tendency to look at college sport more sanely than has lately been the practice. Signs are appearing that certain good old American traits and habits still persist. Every middle-aged man remembers how the struggles and virtues of previous presidents were embedded in books bearing such titles of "The Tailor Boy Who became President," "The Tanner Boy," "Tow-Path to White House," and others which laid stress on the humble origin of the men in question. It is delightful to find the same genius at work in the interest of present-day candidates. Mr. Cannon's campaign managers are putting out "literature" which tells how, in the early days, "his feet were deep in the soil." Mr. Tatt's friends are telling how he used to chase news as a reporter for a Cincinnati paper. Senator Knox is pictured as holding the plow on his Valley Forge farm, and Judge Gray as holding the throttle of a locomotive. The country is still safe. Statistics of the cost of living in France show a general increase during the five years ending with, 1907.

VICE-PRESIDENCY DONED CHICAGO JOURNAL TAKE FIRM STAND THE "KATYFLYER"WRECKED MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION OPPOSE CLASS ISSUES IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. FAVOR TABIFF COMMISSION The Association Also Favors An Ocean Mail Subsidy Law—To Re- New York, May 20—Following up the important action of its earlier sessions, protesting against political agitation of a demagogic nature, calculated to set capital and labor at odds, the National Association of Manufacturers, in annual convention here late Tuesday, took a decided stand against the raising of class issues by the great political parties of the nation. This action was in the form of a resolution introduced by John Kirby of Dayton, O., and worded as follows: "Resolved, That the president of this association be authorized and instructed to select such members as he may deem proper to serve with him as a committee to represent this association before the national executive committees of the two political parties, and that he invite the co-operation of committees from other associations to the end that class declaration planks may be omitted from the platforms of both parties." Close upon the heels of this move by the manufacturers came the taking on their part of a decided stand against the advance in freight rates which the trunk lines of the country have announced to be impending. The manufacturers seeks an amicable adjustment of the matter with the railroads, but failing, they announce their intention of resisting the proposed advance in the courts by process of injunctions or otherwise. The aid of other associations is to be invoked, if thought advisable, by a committee authorized to carry the terms of the resolution into effect. The association before adjournment for the day and after a spirited debate went on record as indorsing the formation of a permanent tariff commission to revise tariff schedules upon the principle of international costs. The association ordered a telegram sent to the conferences of the national house of representatives on the post-office appropriation bill, requesting them to favor the enactment of the ocean mail subsidy provision in that measure, now in dispute between the two houses. Marriage for Spite. Springfield, Mo., May 18—Leora Plumber of this city, who became the bride of David A. Hooey of Toronto, Canada, Saturday morning, Sunday night attempted to take her life by drinking carbolic acid during the absence of her husband from their room. She may recover. The reason for her attempted suicide assigned by the bride is that she loved another and married Hooey for spite. The Consular Examinations Washington, May 19.—Nineteen men passed and 11 failed of the 30 who presented themselves for the April examinations for the grade of consul and appointments to the student interpreter corps.

Muskogee. -Ok., May 16.-Southbound passenger train No. 5 on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad due to arrive in Muskogee at 11:20 Friday morning and running 50 minutes late, collided head-on three miles north of Muskogee at noon with a northbound through freight. Two trainmen were killed, and 15 passengers injured. Budie West of Parsons, Kan., express messenger on the flyer, and James Lanahan, engineer on the freight train were killed. Two hundred passengers were aboard when the crash came. The train which was the one running between St. Louis and Texas points and Old Mexico left St. Louis Thursday night at 8:32. At Parsons, Kan., it makes connections with a section of the train from Kansas City. The wreck was due to Engineer Lanahan of the freight train mistaking orders. The two heavy trains came together with terrific impact and plowed through each other for six car lengths. Both engines, two express cars and two freight cars were telescoped. Budle West, the express messenger on the fly, was caught in the crash and was instantly killed, his heart being torn out. James Lanahan, engineer of the freight train noticed the on-coming flyer when it was one-half mile away. He applied the air and whistled for brakes. He jumped just as the two engines crashed together and fell down an embankment. Before he could arise, a car loaded with lumber toppled over on him and he was buried. His body is still in the debris. The injured were brought to Muskogee on a special train. G. D. Harper, the freight brakeman, proved himself a hero. He was in the engine and noticed the on-coming flyer one-half mile away. He grabbed an armful of signal flags and climbed out over the boiler onto the pilot waving the flags, shouting a warning but it was of no avail. He remained at his post until the two engines were upon each other and then jumped into the ravine by the track. He escaped uninjured. Double Tragedy at Springfield, Mo. Springfield, Mo., May 20—Robert E. Garnett, employed by Emery; Bird, Thayer & Co. of Kansas City, in a fit of jealous rage, shot and mortally wounded his wife then blew out his own brains here Tuesday afternoon. The couple had separated, Mrs. Garnett coming to the home of her father, Ben Martin, a wealthy overall manufacturer, here. Garnett followed and when his wife refused to return to him he shot her and himself. He had been drinking. Garnett was 30 years of age and a prominent club man. The couple had no children. Missouri Bankers at Joplin Joplin, Mo., May 20.—The advance guard of the Missouri State Bankers association, some 1,100 strong and representing more than $657,000,000 of the best assets on earth, began arriving here Tuesday.

Hinton of Hannibal, vice president; A. H. Waite of Joplin, or A. O. Wilson of St. Louis, for treasurer; W. F. Keyser of Sedalia, for secretary. Hawaii for Bryan. Honolulu, May 19.—The Democratic territorial convention met here Monday, with Senator C. J. McCarthy a chairman, selected delegates to the National convention at Denver and in instructed them for W.

Round the Capital Information and Gossip Picked Up Here and There in Washington. Attorney General Is a Stay-at-Home GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME U. S. WASHINGTON. — Attorney-General Charles J. Bonaparte is an American who never has passed out of the dominion of Uncle Sam and who has registered a vow never to do so. When Mr. Bonaparte accepted a position in President Roosevelt's cabinet he made known this limitation on his usefulness and took the place only on condition that his official duties should never oblige him to leave the United States. Just why the attorney general has determined never to visit an alien land no one can say positively, though it is easily surmised that he makes this protest against the way in which his maternal grandmother was created by the great Corsican. During the lifetime of the elder brother, Col. Jerome Bonaparte, Charles Bonaparte frequently was invited to Paris by the head of the family, then in his prime, Napoleon III., but he always disdained to notice the invitation to join a family circle which frowned on American affiliations. Senator's Neck Broken 35 Years Ago SENATOR MONEY of Mississippi has lived 35 years with a broken neck and did not know it until the other day. Not until he went to a physician for treatment for neuralgia, from which he suffered for years, did he learn of his real condition At the first battle of Franklin, in April, 1863, Mr. Money was a cavalryman in the confederate service. While riding through the streets he was struck by a bullet that circled around his ribs, doing no other injury. The shock was such that Mr. Money was thrown from his horse and struck on his head. Being helpless he was captured and taken within the federal lines. He did not ask for hospital treatment, was exchanged later, rejoined his troop and fought until the war closed. Years passed and Mr. Money en- LaFollette's Wife a Real Help to Him IT is quite the ordinary thing to say that the wife of a politician is his adviser. The politician likes to have it said, for there is a sort of sentiment which attaches to it which appeals to the people. The statement is not always true, but in the case of Senator and Mrs. LaFollette of Wisconsin it is, for Mrs. LaFollette is a keen judge of conditions. Clear in mind and sound in judgment, it was Mrs. LaFollette who pursuaded her husband to choose law and politics and to give over all idea of a stage career. The wife the senior senator from the Badger state met the man who became her husband at the University of Wisconsin. She was Miss Belle Case, and her intellectual attainments first attracted Mr. LaFollette. A story told of their student days is as follows: Famous Battle of Manila Bay Recalled Famous Battle of Manila Bay Recalled A MERRY echo of the shot which opened the battle of Manila Bay was heard at the Raleigh hotel the other evening when Admiral Dewey and many of his officers gathered to celebrate with a banquet the tenth anniversary of the famous fight. The admiral cut a large "victory" cake as calmly as he cut the cable a decade ago and the corks popped not so loudly, but as continuously as the guns popped at the Spanish fleet—and with happier results. Not all the officers who won distinction at Manila was at the gathering. Gridley, who fired when he was ready, and several others have answered the salute of death, and a number are scattered around the world on active duty, but enough were in Washington to make the reunion a striking one. Chief among these present was Admiral Dewey. Another noted figure Mrs. Bonaparte has been a sufferer from a peculiar digestive trouble for many years, and she frequently has been ordered to the German spas for treatment. Mr. Bonaparte has urged her to go, but has refused to be persuaded into accompanying her. As she is a devoted wife of the old-fashioned type who would not appreciate a sojourn in Europe without her husband. Mrs. Bonaparte has been compelled to get what aid she could at American springs. All the world knows how keenly disappointed the indomitable Elizabeth Patterson was, when her only son decided to marry an American, Miss Williams of Baltimore, when she had chosen his princely cousin Charlotte Bonaparte for his consort. Rumor has it that Miss Williams, afterward mother of the present attorney-general of the United States, had reason to know of her august mother-in-law's sentiments regarding her. Charles Bonaparte emphasizes the fact that he at least of the American branch of the great Corsican's family is proud of being the only American, and he is so deep-dyed in his love of his native country that he will not leave her soil even for a brief visit. tered the senate. Neuralgia had taken a firm hold of him and his eyesight had grown so bad as to approximate blindness. He was advised to try osteopathy. He went to New York, accompanied by his son. Almost the doctor's first remark was: "Why, senator, you have had your neck broken. I would say you were thrown from a horse and sustained the broken neck." "That is just exactly what did happen," replied Senator Money, recalling the injury at Franklin. "I can cure your neck," said the physician; "it will require but a moment's time." The osteopath laid the senator on a table, took hold of the misplaced vertebra with both hands and put it into proper position. The physician told Senator Money that he must take precautions until the weakened muscles regained their normal strength. He was cautioned not to turn his head in looking at anything, but to move his entire body. These instructions were observed and the neck apparently became as strong as it was 35 years before the operation. "Mr. LaFollette's great gift was that of oratory. He tried for all the prizes in sight, and had the air of a man who thought he could win. Miss Case had some oratorical talents of her own, and began to cultivate them early and late. She won in the end, for the special prize for oratory at graduation came to her and not to the man who later became her husband." It was not long, however, before the would-be winner of the prize won the winner, and they were married shortly after their graduation from the university in 1879. Mrs. LaFollette is very domestic, and the social life at Washington has little or no attraction for her. She spends much of her time in works of charity and education. When her husband was elected to congress Mrs. LaFollette spent her first winter in Washington taking a course in the law school of the George Washington university. Should it ever happen to be the part of this Wisconsin woman's duty to aid her husband in his campaign for the presidency, it is said he will have at his command assistance he will in no wise neglect. was Rear Admiral Coghlan, who won much fame at Manila and more in the "Hoch der Kaiser" incident.

Humorist Points Out What He Considerers Some Wrong Conceptions. Mark Twain said that the financial panic has caused a wrong idea of the use and value of money. "The spendthrift says that money, being round, was made to roll. The miser says that, being flat, it was made to stack up. Both are wrong. "Strangely wrong, too, in their ideas about money are the veteran Australian gold diggers. These simple old fellows, though worth perhaps a half million or more, live in the simple dug-outs and shanties of their lean early days. "Once, lecturing, I landed at an Australian port. There was no porter in sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a rough-looking old fellow leaning against a post with his hands in his pockets, I beckoned to him and said: "See here, if you carry these bags up to the hotel I'll give you half a crown." "The man sowled at me. He took three or four gold sovereigns from his pocket, threw them into the sea, scowled at me again, and walked away without a word." STOPPED TO SALUTE HOGS. One Man at Least Grateful to the Source of His Wealth. "The Interpreter" in the American Magazine says of a respectful father he once knew: "Isn't it time we took off our hats and thanked this pleasant land for the good things it has done for us by going on patiently covering up our blunders, rectifying our mistakes, and responding cheerfully to our every intelligent effort? "I knew a man out west who had the right idea about it. His father had made a great fortune in the pork packing business. The heir was not puffed up by his millions. Long after he had grown accustomed to the money and might reasonably be expected to look down on butchers, if in walking in the country with his children they saw a drove of hogs on the road, he would make his little boys stand at attention and take off their hats. 'I want them to respect the sources of wealth,' he said." De Organ's Busted. In a little church in Maryland, not far from Washington, the motive power for the organ comes from the strong arm of an industrious Irishman. During a recent service there the choir got into trouble and, to cap the climax, during the confusion that ensued, the organ suddenly stopped. The situation was not greatly relieved when there came floating out into the auditorium a hoarse whisper: "Sing, all youse! Sing like the divil! De organ is busted.—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. FIT THE GROCER Wife Made the Suggestion. A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own experience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee, and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast, and did not feel like attending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared, and today I am all right. I would advise everyone afflicted in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great or strength than other makes. Mistress—Here is a nice dress for you, Martha.

PENSIONS Washington, D. C. FORCED TO TRIAL JUDGE DENIES CONTINUANCE IN SAPP MURDER CASE AT IOLA, KANSA3. SUICIDE THEORY OFFERED Whititow's Attorneys Will Try to Show That Girl Killed Herself Because of Unrequited Love. Iola, Kan., May 19.—The case of the state against Samuel F. Whitlow, charged with the murder of Caroline May Sapp at her home in Moran the night of September 27, 1907, by cutting her throat with a razor, was called for trial in district court Monday morning. The defense at once filed a motion for a continuance of the trial on the ground of the absence of important witnesses without whom Whitlow did not desire to go to trial. Whitlow lawyers said that Mrs. Mattie Jacobs, an important witness for the defense, is ill at her home in Moran and that her attending physician had refused to permit them to take her deposition, which had been agreed upon. They said she would testify that she knew both May Sapp and her mother, Rebecca Sapp. She had often met Mrs. Sapp in the store and had several conversations with her. She would swear, they said, that when Mr. Sapp concluded to retire and leave the farm that Mrs. Sapp wished to move to Bronson and that Mr. Sapp preferred to move to Fort Scott, but that May overruled them both and finally persuaded them to move to Moran. The defense will present the theory that Miss Sapp committed suicide because of unrequited love for Whitlow and that he was a witness to the deed. The defendant says that for over two years Miss Sapp pleaded with him to leave his family and run away with her. Whitlow was for a number of years a teacher in the school in which Miss Sapp was a scholar. The defense asserts that May Sapp wanted to move to Moran because Whitlow lived there and that this is proof of his own statement that she was in live with him. The state resisted the application for a continuance and declared that the defense had not used sufficient diligence in getting its witnesses. Judge Foust, in passing on the motion, called attention to the fact that all these facts were known when the case was first called, May 12, and that the defense had announced itself ready for trial, and 100 jurors and 100 witnesses were now in court ready for the case. He therefore overruled the motion for a continuance and asked the lawyers to proceed with the case. The defense filed another motion asking for a commission to take the testimony of Mrs. Jacobs, and this the court also refused. There are 100 extra jurors. Among them happened to be J. A. Whitlow, a brother of the defendant, but he was excused when his name was called. The lawyers expect that it will require at least two days to select a jury, owing to the wide publicity given the case and the comment which has been indulged in over the county. A Great Western Conference Kansas City, May 19.—No definite action has been taken in the matter of a reorganization of the Great Western Life Insurance company. Judge William Thomson and A. L.

Salina, Kan., May 20.—The Democrats are beginning to arrive for the state meeting which is to be held here. It is said that Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma will not be here, and this is causing considerable disappointment, as a number of the visitors came especially to hear him. Grant Harrington expressed himself as enthusiastic over the prospects of victory for this fall. And each of the others present expressed like confidence. J D. Botkin, who is a candidate for governor, says he is satisfied he will get the nomination at the primary election in August, as he says his nomination insures election. It is said that ex-Senator Harris has declared that he will not be a candidate for the senate this year, but his friends are determined that he shall be forced into the race. The principal part of the program has not been arranged yet, the local managers feeling that the bigger heads should have something to say as to what shall be done. Probably one of the greatest fights of this meeting will be on Bryan. It is declared that many of the delegates are for Johnson, and an effort will be made to land the state for the Minnesota man. Johnson has many friends in Central Kansas, especially among the Swedes. It is said a slate will be fixed and every effort will be made to give it a hearty indorsement at the meeting.

Mrs. L., a young and inexperienced Sunday school teacher, was at times morely perplexed how to answer the questions put to her by some of her unusually bright pupils. One day just after she had finished telling the children the story that Adam was the first man God created quiet reigned in the classroom for several minutes. Suddenly up jumped little Rose, and in a piping voice said: "Oh, teacher, you forgot to tell us whether God created Adam right away a man or a baby!" Embarrassed, Mrs. L. looked up to the seiling and then to the children for an inspiration. Happily she quickly skipped Betty's little hand raised above the others eager to answer the question. "Teacher, I am surprised my sister Rosie should ask such a foolish question. Why, God must have created Adam right away a big man, because if God had created him a baby he would have had to have a mother to take care of him." SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS Sores, and Itching Eczema—Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary —Cuticura's Efficacy Proven. "I am now 80 years old, and three years ago I was taken with an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week. The treatments I tried took a lot of money, and it is fortunate that I used Cuticura. J. H. Henderson, Hopkinton, N. Y., Apr 26, 1907." In the Free Vaccination Ward. A Lithuanian woman was getting her fifth baby vaccinated the other day. "I am glad." said the young surgeon, "that you recognize the importance of vaccination." "Oh, yes," she said, "I often wonder." she added pensively, "what it's done for, though. It's to show you're a free citizen, the same as naturalization papers, ain't it?" If an Advertisement Convince You, Stay Convicted When you read in this newspaper the advertisement of a manufacturer who has paid for the space used to convince you that it is to your interest to buy his goods, and you go to a dealer where such articles are usually handled for sale, do not let the dealer or any one of his clerks sell you something else which he claims is "just as good." If an advertisement convinced you, it was because of the element of truth which it contained. INSIST ON GETTING WHAT YOU ASK FOR. And the Moon Man Laughed. They were jogging along the old road and cupid was so busy that the young man dropped the lines either side of the runabout. It was then that the wise old nag turned lazily around.

John Mitchen. 1617 Sherwood avenue. Rev. Mitchem has a splendid home, surrounded by all the comforts of home life, has one of the best teams of horses in our city with which he works for the Wichita Street aCr Co. Besides these he has a large acreage of corn, cane, of garden truck which he raises. He is a Tennessean with that push, vim and go-forwardness which means success. He is most pronouncedly a lively race-man and believes in the uplift of his race and the example of push-ahead which characterizes his everyday life is a most valuable incentive to other members of his race to follow his lead with profit. With his most amiable and energetic wife, Prof. Mitchem is laying hold of this world's goods in such manner and with such a firm hold that if followed by all will do much in solving this much-vexed "race problem." We bid him continued success. WHAT IS THE TROUBLE We have kept a close watch of the columns of the daily press conducted by whitie men to see some items concerning the great meeting of the A. M. E. general conference now in session in Norfolk, Va., and except for a short notice at the ope ning two weeks or more ago we have been unable to see a line; although we see long articles daily about the M. E. general conference being held in Baltimore, Md. What is the mater with the white press, is the Norfolk meeting too large a gathering of intelligent Negroes or is it too small to attract attention. For our items we must depend on Negro papers and correspondents and still there are Ne groes who condemn the Negro press and will not support them. This is a little item of reminder. Mrs. W. M.

Journalns That Help to Concentrate Business in Large Cities. There are thousands of so-called agricultural papers published in the United States, all of more or less merit. Yet few are all that they should be. There is an inconsistency about them that invites careful study. While they are supposed to represent the best interests of the great class of workers whom they gain support from in the way of subscriptions, the majority of them apparently work against the progress of farming communities by becoming the mediums, a part of the machinery, which draws from country towns the support which they should have.

Andrews of the British museum, had proved that Africa, far from being a continent parasitic upon Burope, was a partly dependent, but chiefly ins- pendent, center of a highly varied lite, “a great breeding place, not only of animals which subsequently wandered into Europe, but of animals belonging 1o types hitherto unknown.” Before tthe work of Dz. Andrews had been even begun, Prof, Heary Fairfield Os- born of the American Museum of ae - on eae att NMS pee ys Gon ey & 3 <8 (=e, Where the Excavations Are Being Made. Natural History had prophesied that the original home of the elephants and of several other great groups would be found to be in Africa, These animals, he believed, in spite of the contrary opinion of science, had in- yaded Hurope, Asia and North Amer- fea from Africa. ‘The American museum authoritfes, go rich in the remains of the great monsters of their own country, could not fail to be interested in the Fayum discoveries, and Prof. Osborn longed to fit out an expedition to discover, if possible, and bring back to the New York treasure-house the African ances- tors of the vast creatures which once inhabited the American continent. In due time the pian became an ac- complished fact; the Egyptian gov- ernment, in the person of Lord Cro- mer, gave the American explorers every help in its power, and Prof. Os- born and his assistants went to work. As their caravan crossed the desert, it amused Mr. Osborn to think that he was going with camels, the gift of the western American plains, to bring back the remains of elephants, which were the gift of Africa to all the other continents. At first, the results of the American Museum's search were disappointing, but after ten days the explorers were rewarded with the jaws and teeth of the ancestral elephant which thé expedition chiefly desired, and a fort- night later they found a complete skull of the Palaeomastodon, belong- ing to the second stage of the evolu- tion of the elephant. A week later, the skull of a Moeritherium (the beast of Lake Moeris) came to light, and Mr. Osborn knew that he had found the representative of the first distinctive stage in the evolution of the elephant. Twenty-seven species of land ani- mals were discovered by the Egyptian survey, and now several new animals were: discovered by the American ex- pedition. These include the giant Ar- sinoitheres, the smaller and larger an- cestral elephants, the large and small rock-conies, and certain pig-like ani- mals. With two exceptions, all these Gnimals were short-footed and slow moving, and they had a pair of front teeth as large as tusks, probably for defense against the actively running carnivora of the period. The Arsin- oitheres were one exception, and de- fended themselves by sharply pointed horns. Two million years ago the Mediterranean bordered on Eocene Libya, and was inhabited by whaled known as the Zeuglodons, remains of which have been found in every part of the Fayum region. These creatures were extraordinarily long and snake- like, and were far more slender in body than any existing whale. Among other discoveries made in‘ Eocene Libya are remains which go to prove that the Sirenia, or sea-cows, represent an aquatic off-shoot from the very stock which gave rise to the elephant. This kinship was surmised by de Blainville long before Darwin, and it has now been confirmed by the ex: traordinary resemblance between the most ancient sea-cow, the Eotherium, and the most ancient of the elephants the Moeritherium, ‘The scene of the researches, El Fay- um, a name derived from the ancient gyptian word “Phiom,” meaning “the lake,” lies 50 miles southwest of Cairo, and is the fertile alluvial bottom of a great natural depression, or basin, en- riched by the Nile sediments, which have poured for ages into a large nat- ural lake of late geological times, and subsequently into the more contract: ed Lake Moeris of the Ptolemies. ‘The brackish lake named Birketel- Qurun which bounds the Fayum to the north-west is the vestigial remnant of these two great sheets of fresh wa- ter. It lies 130 feet below sea-level, and receives such a meager overflow from the vast irrigation system of the Fayum plains that it is constantly dl- minishing in extent and increasing ip salinity. ‘The rich historical associations ot the northerly shores of these ancient and modern reservoirs begin with the Palaeolithic flint-makers. They include the irrigation works of Amenemhat I., 2200 B. G.; they cover the rise and fall of populous Greek and Roman cities, now represented by the ruins known as Dime and Mushim. But far, far back of this period of man, the discoveries of the survey on the north- erly shores of these same lakes reveal the presence of a world of life so an- cient that the pyramids seem as of yesterday, of a period when the Medi: terranean shores were 140 miles soutt of their » present boundaries, wher Mother Nile herself, which impresses! us as among the oldest of rivers, had not come into existence. Here another and -much older rivay sysiem poured its sandy deposits into the ancestral Mediterranean, the ancient original life of Africa found its burial-place tn the shifting sands, and has lain jor perhaps two million of years awaiting the evolution of man, and finally the development in man of the spirit of inquiry and exploration.

This com pany is now building seven stean ships of 62,000 aggregate gross regi: ter tonnage.

The soil chemist has given us a defi- nite conception of what constitutes plant food, and the soil physicist has contributed many valuable and practi- cal discoveries to the rapidly increas ing fund of knowledge concerning soils. It is known that suitable moist- ure and temperature conditions are essential, not only for absorbing and assimilating plant food, but also for rendering the plant food of the soil available. More recent research by the soil bacteriologist has revealed the fact that bacteria play an exceed- ingly important role in the problem of soil fertility, and it is undoubtedly true that the importance of these mi- a} NN Gee. ty Gee ee PA Se og hai: sleek ei) aa eee eA tee Ce Oe oe eS % Ai he We!

They are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, magnesium, iron, sulphur, calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus anud potassium. Combinations of the three elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, consti- tute approximately 95 per cent. of all plants. They form the portions spoken of in feeds as fats and carbohydrates, including the oils and starch. Plants obtain their supply of these elements from air and water. The carbon is derived from the carbon dioxide of the air, and the hydrogen and oxygen from water, which is a combination of these two elements. Thus, it is seen that only about five per cent., or one- twentieth of the material of plants, actually comes from tke soll, Only Mitrogen.

The same is usu- ally true as regards calcium although certain crops, particularly clover, re- quire this clement in considerable amounts. It is evident that seven of the ten elements essential to plant growth need cause the farmer but lit- tle concern. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are three elements which in their vari- ous combinations constitute the vast majority of che material obtained from the soil by plants. These elements are required by all plants in consider- able amounts and their presence in many soils is limited. It is a“tom- mon but erroneous idea that the soil is a great mass of material, the great- er portion of which may sooner or later be used by plants as food. Nu- merous chemical analyses of soils, representing many different sections, show that a ton of fertile soil to a Se ea teres Lelobelebalal ae oo] mos bel aa eae Pa el || SE aS been EEOC beet aa |) aspicart | hese | [oe pele pone oases, a Somparative Average Yields of Corn depth of one foot does not contain on an average more than ten or twelve pounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The following diagram shows the relative amounts of these elements in the surface foot of a nor- mal fertile soil. The quantities rep- resented, with the excepticn of potas- sium, are somewhat greater than those found in the average Iowa soil, and are far in excess of those found in the more or less impoverished soils of the state. It will be seen from the diagram that nearly all of the soil is com- posed of mineral matter, which acts merely as a home for the plant where moisture and food are stored for its use and into which it can develop its roots and anchor itself against winds. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are always found in small amounts even in the most exhausted soils, but if any one of these three elements is present { too small an amount to meet the full demands of a crop, the growth and yield of the crop will be correspondingly decreased. These elements do not exist in the soil as single elements, but are found combined with other elements, and it has been, demonstrated by ex- periment that plants are capable of ap- propriating their food only when it exists in certain combinations. In ‘other words, sufficient amounts of plant food may be present in the soil, but it may be in such form that plants cannot use it. Herein lies the solu- tion of the sofl fertility problem, sc far as plant food is concerned, viz., to have present at all stages of the plant's growth an ample supply of each element in a readily available form. ‘The beneficial effect-of manure as shown in some test plots stands out preeminently, not only in the general average, but in the average for each year and in the individual crops grown each year, as indicated in the ace companying diagram.
