Meet Me To-Morrow at Two, Low
NeiU York World.

"Oh! meet me tomorrow at two, love,
BY the fountain in Central Park,
And well sail as the dainty crew, love,
On the lake in a fairy bark.
You may bring me OF pound-cake bite, love,
OF billetdoux paper ream,
So shall not forget me to write, love,
But don't forget change for ice-cream."
Alas when tomorrow at two came,
Agustus DE Smith was not there,
He found ca,h for the boat aud the carriage
For roses 10 braid in her hair,
Fol caramels, cake, etcetera,
For billet-doux paper ream,
But he knew me never could fetter her,
Aud he couldn't lind change for ice-cream.

II often happens that men of the whose
morals are notoriously loose are most severe
in taer dcnuncations OF intellectual unbe-
lief. says the New York Tribune. And the
strange part of IL is that they are really SIN
cere in their reputation of such unbelief.
Down in the bottom of their hearts there Is
profound belief in the code OF Christian NOR
ality which in their daily lives they fail TO
follow but which they vaguely expect some
day TO follow when they have exhaused all
the pleasures of life. And the fact is to be
regarded not as an argument against chri-
tiarty, but as an unlntendcd tribute paid

The presence in this city during the last
three days of the past week of Lydia
Thompson, recalls the circumstance which,
more than any ability she possessed, gave
her notoriety throughout the country. In
1869 she was at the head of a company of
''British blondes" which in those days were
considered novelty. She was play
ing "Sinbad the Sailor" "Ixion"
and several other burlesques OF
the same kind in Crosby's opera
Chicago The Times of taat place had for
long time cherished an intense feeling
against the management of the house, a
feeling which colored almost every notice
which was given Of the performances which
there took place. The blondes received

A KENTUCKY JUDGE IN JAIL.

sentenced TO death or acquitted. 1t was
a defense in which he insisted that be

the outraged sanctity of his home and his

in case he should die in prison, is re-
markable:

The Texas, Negroes.
Atlanta Constellation

The negroes of Texas held a convention
the other day, and formulated an ad-
dress setting forth the wrongs that are
put upon them.
The fact that they did not meet as citI-
zens, but as negroes, shows that they do
not yet fairly understand their relations
to the state.
Such wrongs as the negroes of Texas
complain of can never be righted by con-
ventions or by politics. They must be
righted by means Of the growth and.de-
velopment of intelligence and individu-
ality of the negroes themselves; by their
patience and forbearanCe, and, above
all, by the growth, however Slow it may
be, of that feeling of citizenship that
comes with the knowledge of a citizen IS
responsibility.
That the negroes OF Texas are not in a
very bad way is shown by some figures
given in their address. They own L.
900, 900 acres of land and pay taxes on
$50, 900 900 worth OF property; they have
1000 churches, 1000 Sunday schools, 1000
benevolent associations, ten high schools,
$500 common schools 5000 teachers 1875,
900 pupils attending school, twenty three
doctors, twenty-five lawyers, 100 meT-
chants, 5000 mechanics, fifteen newspa-
pers, "hundreds of farmers and stock
men and several inventors.
This seems to us to be a pretty good
showing in every way, and the Texas
negroes ought to be proud of it.

REMARKABLE MURDER CASE.
Detective Stains His Hands VITA BLOOD to

Detective Stains His Hands VITA hood to
Secure Reward.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Sept. Gone of
the most remarkable murder cases ever
recorded is on trial in the Fayette county
criminal Court. L. R. Smith was en-
ployed last spring as a detective. He
arrested Jackson, the negro he after
wards killed, thinking he was a muir
-derer. He afterwards learned he was
mistaken in his man. In order to secure
his reward Smith told the negro he
would release him if Jackson would
allow him to cut off one of his
ears. Jackson 5 ears were marked SINH
larry to those of the negro wanted. The
negro agreed and the ear was cut OFF.
Smith then feared that Jackson would
.betray him and determined to kill him.
He gave him the choice of hanging him
self or being hanged The negro chose
the former, and while pretending TO
search for a suitable place he made a
break for liberty. Smith fred and the
negro fell. Smith left, believing HIM
dead. The negro lived, however, TO tell
the tale. and his dying statement is the
principal evidence.

a Great Showing for the South.

The number of cotton mills in the
South has more than doubled in the last
nine years, and the number OF spindles
has more than trebled. Cotton making e,
like iron making, is drifting to those To-
calities where the raw material can be
most cheaply brought to the factory and
furnace. When the work of the census
takers next year shall be put
in shape for publication it will
show such a magnificent development
that the attention of the whole
civilized world will be drawn TO it. With
the possible exception Of the Argentine
states, no other country beyond the limit
of the Union has made such forward
strides as the states south of Mason and
DiXon's line during the time that has
elapsed since the close of the civil war.
And the work is only well begun. The
great mineral resources of the South are
merely uncovered here and there; their
magnitude is as yet an unguessed guam
tity.

Modern Geology.
Popular Science Monthly


Within recent years there seems to
have been infused into almost every
domain of physical science a fresh life.
Through gradually acquired generaliza-
tons higher points of view have been
reached; old notions have been discarded
for newer and broader ones. Professor
Langley tells us of the "new as
tTonomy; - the doctrine of the conversa-
ton of energy has given us d new physics;
evolution, new biology; and the study
of carbon compounds, a new chemistry
So, too, the application of the microscope
to the study of rocks has given us a new
geology.
The recent development in the science
of the earth consists of the return to the
work begun by its earliest pioneers. The
old photographers were right. If we
would know the life history Of our planet
we must learn the origin, structural re-
lations and composition of our rocks.
We must discover the ferces-chemioal
and physical-which work in and upon
them, and we must see how they work.
AS have already said, the early geOl-
ogists had full faith in the Importance of
their labors, but they were forced to
abandon them by lack of methods and
appliances suitable to cope with the
difficulties presented. To-day this i'm
portance is not diminished but rather in
creased by what has been accomplished
along other lines. II we can renew the
attack upon the old questions with i'm
proved weapons, the rewards of victory
are as promising as ever. 1t is believed
that such weapons are now in our hands,
and the hope of success is almost daily
attracting fresh and earnest workers to
the ranks from every land.

The Finest Dwelling.

1t is said that the largest and costliset
private mansion in the world is that
belonging to Lord Butte, called "Mon-
stuart, and situated near Rothesay
England. It covers nearly two acres,
and is built IN Gothic style; the walls
turTets and balconies are built of stone
The immense tower in the center of the
building is 120 feet high, with a balcony
around the top. The halls are con-
structed entirely of marble and alabas-
ter; all the rooms are finished in mahog-
any rosewood and walnut; the freplaces
are all carved marbles of antique de-
signs. The exact cost of this fairy
palace is not known, but it has never
been estimated at less than eight million
dollars. The Rockefeller place OF the
Hudson will doubtless be the finest
place in America when finished.

The Immense Spiders of India.
Transcript.


Far up in the mountains of Ceylon snd
India there is a spider that spins web
like bright Yellowish silk, the central net
of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet, and riding quickly IN the
early morning you may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining
around your face like a veil, while,
as the creature who has woven 1t
takes up his position in the middle, he
generally catches you right on the nose,
and, though he seldom bites or stings
the contact of his large body and long
legs is atfsthing but pleasant. If you
forget YOURSELF and try to catch him bite
he will, aHl though no<r veHoinous,.s his
jaws are as.powerful as aSsbird s beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en-
counter :. The bodies of these spiders
aEe very handsomely decorated; be-
ing bright gold or SCARLET underneath,
while the upper part is covered
with the most delicate slate coIored fur.
So strong are the webs that birds the
size of larks are frequently caught there
in, and even the small but powerful
scaly lizard falls a victim. A writer saws
that he has often sat and watched the
yellow monster-measuring when wait
ing for his prey with his legs stretched
out, fully six understanding across
the middle of the net, and noted the rapid
manner in which he winds his stout

Hoyg TO Split Paper.
New spaper Union

s. There aretwo ways of splitting piece
of paHef One is to lay the sheet ofpa-
per on piece of glass, soak it thorough
ly with water ind then press it smoothly
all over the glass. With little care the
upper half of the Sheet can be peeled off ,
leaving the under MALT on thesglass. Let
this dry and it WfA come off the glass
easily; of course the glass must be per-
fectly clean. The second way is a better
one, but it requires some gopd practice.
Paste piece of cloth or strong paper on
each side of the sheet to be split When
it has thoroughly dried pull the two pieces
of cloth apart suddenly and violently.
The paste can then be softened with water
and the two halves of. the sheet easily
taken off the cloths. -

JOHN GRASS, CELEBRATED CHIEF OF THE
BLACKFEET sIOUN.
A recent dispatch from Fort Yates, n .
D. says that John Grass, chief of the
Blackfeet Sioux, is seriously i'll and not
expected to live. He is one of the no.
blest of red men; man of ability and
great character. OF all the eminent In
dians who fought against the United
States troops in the war which ended with
the surrender of Sitting Bull at Fort
Buford, J ohm Grass is the most notable.
He has worn the white man 3 dress since
that event and accommodated himself as
far as the ability has been within his
reach to civilized usages~. The govern
ment appointed him Judge of a native
court at Standing Rock. He was Sc
Iected by the tribes having Their head
quarters at that place to speak for them
recently when the Sioux commission pro-
posed to buy their lands. When he saw
that the whites would take the lands he
used his influence in favor of the gov
eminent treaty. Grass IS about forty
seven years old, nearly six feet tall and
a handsome, courtly man. He is q
friend of education and Christian. AS
supreme Judge of his nation he has given
decisions which are described as uni
formIy just Whether in peace or war
he has proved himself a great man.

One Hungarian Shot Through the HEARTBURN
Der of Irishmen and Poles Seriously In
iured.
WILMINGTON, DEL, Sept. 8.-Last
night a race riot broke out in the lower
part of Newcastle, locally known as
Dobbinsville, between gangs of Irish
men, Poles and Slavacs employed in the
Tasker iron works, in the course of which
an Hungarian named Francis R jan
kOvsky was shot i'll the heart and in
stantly killed by some one of the
Irish rioters, and an Irishman named
o. w. F. KaYanagh was stabbed in ten
hungarian. Kayanagh will recover
The rioting was the outcome of bad feel
ing that had existed between the differ
ent nationalities ever since the entrance
Of the Poles and Slavacs in the mills
nearly two years ago. Thirty-three of
the Slavacs have been arrested and war
rants will be issued for the Irish
participants, who, in the pre-
liminary hearing before Mayor
Hanson this AFTERNOON il was shown were
the aggressOrs. The evidence thus far
indicates that JaukOvsky was trying to
escape from several intoxicated Irish
rioters when one of the latter fired
shotgun, the load passing through
Jankovsky 5 heart. Five Irishmen, two
Hungarian men and Hungarian woman
also received wounds from gunshOts and
missiles in the melee.

STRANGE COMMUNITY.
Looking for the Coming of Christ-MaritaI Ties
Sundered, and Unmarried Women Take
Vows of Celibaey.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. I5.-The mem
bers of the Economy or Harmony society
to-day commemorated the eighty fourth
anniversary Of the organization of the
society at its pretty little town down the
Fort Wayne railroad The exercises
were held in the chapel and
conducted by the venerable Jacob
Henrici. The programme was the same
which has been observed year after year,
but il was noticed that the number of OBJ
servers was smaller. When the Uar-
mony socieuy was formed eighty-four
years ago by George Rapp, there were
five hundred members. The founder
believed that Christ would come upon
earth a second time. He said that
in order to be prepared to partici-
pate in the joys of that coming and to be
members OF the kingdom which He was
to establish His followers should sunder
marital ties, and those who were not
vet married should take upon themselves
the vows of celibacy. They also put all
their money and property into one COM
mon fund, and located on tract of land
in Butler county. After encountering
many difficulties from descriptions, the
main body settled in their present loca-
ton n Economy, where they have lived
since 1905. Frugal and industrious, they
have accumulated large sums of money,
and by judicious investments and the en-
haucement in the value of their lands,
the community is now said TO be worth
$50 900 600.
The original members are gradually
passing away, although there have been
4 number OF accessiOns to the community
during the years since it was organized.
