The Mississippi constitutional convention
has finally discovered way in which to dis
franchise ignorant blacks without at the
same time depriving ignorant whites of the
suffrage. The solution is contained in this
paragraph, which it is proposed to put into
the new constitution: Every qualified
elector shall be able to read any section of
the constitution of the State, or he shall be
able to understand the same when read to
him or give reasonable Interpretation
thereof" 1t will be for the election judges
to decide whether these qualifications exist;
and of course there will be no difficulty in
deciding that they always exist in the case
OF a white man and never in the case of the
colored man. Ii the white man cannot read
the constitution the judges can easily hold
that he is not disqualified because he is able
to understand the constitution when read to
MIN. But they were under no obligation to
assume anything Of the kind in the case of
the negro who can't read.

The announcement of the death Of

81, has almost entirely escaped notice.
Yet seventy years ago. as Marie Lesueur,
she was one of the most famous dancers
of the generation. The great David took
her for his model in "Mars Disarmed by
Venus" and after a most successful ca
reer on the stage she captivated and mar
ried M. Van Gobbelschroy, the once we'll
known Dutch minister of the interior.
A volume might be made up of the odes
addressed to Marie Lesueur between her
debut as Rosine in 1919 and her marriage
some ten years later. She danced at the
inauguration of the Monnaie theatre the
year before George III died. Her hus-
band was ruined by financial specula-
ton and committed suicide in her pres
ence. To the last she enjoyed a small
pension from the royal bounty, but the
ancestral castle of the ex-minister passed
into the hands of M. Malon, the poll
tician.-London World.

Oswego and Owego.

No one but a person connected with
the Oswego postoffice can have the least
conception of the extent of the confusion
growing out of the similarity of the
names Oswego and Owego. The post
master i'll Oswego directed that count
of the letters designed for the village of
Owego sent to the postoffice in this city
be kept for one week. The number by
actual count was 4S1. Let our Owego
friends apply for city charter and call
the place the city of "Auwaga" eau

1t contains the "Auwaga house," the
"Auwaga bank" etc. 1t seems to be
name they are proud of, and it is
euphonious and pretty name, and is what
the village or city should be called. If
they object to the change, why let them
continue to receive their business letters
via Oswego, averaging 500 weekly, from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours behind
time.-Oswego Times.

A Monument of Papers.

At the tenth census there was obtained
by Special Agent North a very unique
collection of over II 900 newspapers and
periodicals published in the United
States during the census year, which
collection was arranged, bound and de-
posted for preservation at the congress
sional library. In view of the great his
torical value of such collection, Super
intendent Porter has decided to form a
collection of all the newspapers, maga-
zines and periodical publications of every
character and description printed in the
United States during the present census
year, to serve as permanent memorial
of the development of this important
branch of American enterprise. This
collection will be made in duplicate, one
set for preservation at the library of
congress and the other for deposit in the
National museum. Washington Post.

English Bakeries.

The result of the inquiries recently
made as to the sanitary arrangements
connected with the trade of baking is
anything but reassuring. Bakeries are
said to exist in Manchester where the
cleanliness which should obtain in the
preparation of food is impossible. Some
of the bakers complain that the ma
chinery now used takes "the flavor out
of the bread" They prefer the old
method of dancing ON the dough-"
The Lancet commissioner naturally
expressed a hope that "the men washed
their feet" and was cheerfully assured
that they did after the bread was made,
as otherwise they could not put their
boots on again. 1t is desirable that the
city authorities should deal with this
matter Immediately, and see that the
staff of life is supplied to the people un-
der somewhat better conditions than at
present.-London Queen.

name and address, and set off to call
upon Mrs. Bowers far up on Madison
avenue. He amused himself on the way
by trying to estimate how long his vital
forces would endure miles of walking
every day without any renewal of the
tissues, and by speculating as to what
stage of starvation would be the most
painful. Now and again he became dizzy
and almost lost consciousness, which led
him to think that perhaps he had COM
passed the worst part of starvation al
ready.
Mrs. Bowers was at home and she re-
ceived Drane in tiny room which she
evidently used as an office for her char
table work

circumstances so unusual for me, / am
so faint from lack of food that find it

"You are the man who went to her aid
in the park. HIM. That was very
worthy thing to do" and she eyed him
critically through her glasses. Law
renee felt so oppressed by this fresh hui
initiation that he hung his head. Mrs.
Bowers continued: 81 should not have
expected it of you. l have made long
study of human nature, my man, and 1
warn you that you can not impose on
me. So they discharged you. HIM.
If you're willing to work will send you

Madam" cried Lawrence, 81 never
have had to work in my life! I don't
ask for work; did not come here to
ask any assistance of you. I want to

"Quite impossible" interrupted Mrs.
Bowers, placidly. "She is young and
inexperienced, and 1 certainly shall
guard her against any vulgar imposi-
tion. You make mistake in refusing
work. can read you closely enough
to see that you will recognize your
error as soon as you are convinced that

vinced of a mans character as l am of

weary. Therefore, here is the card, and
here is dime to pay your way on the
horse cars

have done me injustice and given
me pain that is worse than all the ills
that have come on me since / arrived in
New York. decline your charity, and
you may rest assured that no extremity
of misery will ever make me regret my
course"
With that he bowed haughtily and
stalked from the house, while Mrs.
Bowers looked shocked and made an
entry in her book of charitable work as
to the evil pride that keeps some men
from acknowledging the superiority and
goodness of others.

then returned to the courtroom. He
inquired of an officer near the door about
the elderly lady who had carried off his
park acquaintance.
Il will at least let the young widow
know that am no convict" he thought,
and he did not disguise from himself a
hope that she would help him somehow
in his straits.
The officer told him that the lady
came to court every day, exercising her
charitable disposition in assisting inno-
cent prisoners who were unable to Sc
cure legal advice.

added the officer; ''she draws the line at

Recovery Comes Too Late.

Several years ago the residence of Cora
Pearl in Paris was entered by thieves and
robbed of $4,000. One of the robbers
was captured and condemned to five years
imprisonment, but the property was not
then recovered. On his liberation from
prison lately he endeavored to raise
sum from a banker, with which he might
go to Germany and redeem the stolen
property. That had been deposited in
German bank. The bankers suspicious
were excited and the man was arrested,
and has revealed the name of his accom-
plice. The great sum may be recovered,
but too late to be of any value to Cora
Pearl, who died in destitution, after hav-
ing vainly endeavored to make little
money by publishing her memoirs.-Pa-

An electric roundabout has been con-

up in public place of amusement in
Nice. Here the electricity which is used
for arc and incandescent lighting is also
employed in the transmission of force to

ponies are of life size, and each contains
a motor, current being supplied by the
rails. The weight to be drawn, includ-
ing the rider, is about 500 pounds, and
the speed attained is about 600 feet per
minute. The track comprises six circu-

AS they walked into the street, and so
out of the 'sparrow-chasers" territory,

somewhat stirred by his companion s
recital, sank again to a level with his

Mr.. Drane's heart went into his boots

but before he could utter word the
policeman had snapped an iron ring
over his wrist and had said, roughly:

policeman drew back his club to per-

to the young woman:

Why the Government Should Take The
Under Rigid Control.

Why the Government Should Take Them
Under Rigid Control.
By separating the States into groups,
the six New England States are cred
tied with a. forest area of 1888, ,O2S
acres; the four Middle States, with H.
$780, 900; the fourteen Southern States,
including Maryland and leaving out
Missouri, with 232, $780, 1000; the nine
Western States, with SO,35s, 76S; four
Pacific States, SO, $50, 900, and the seven
Territories, with 63,034, 200. 1t will
thus be seen that of the entire 465,-
645, ,S95 acres of forest included in this
estimate, the fourteen Southern States
possess fully one-half. These statistics
show that while process of denudation
has been carried to an unwise and in
furious extreme in the Eastern, Middle
and a few of the Western States, the
forest area still remaining in this coun-
try is very great. If the estimates of
the department. are approximately cor
rect, the timber lands of the country,
exclusive of Alaska, cover an area equal
to fifteen States the size of Pennsyl-
vania. If proper measures are taken
to prevent the rapid and unnecessary
destruction of what is left of our forest
domain, it should be equal to all rea-
sonable requirements for an indefinite
period. With the adoption of a policy
of judicious tree-planting in the prairie
States, and a system of State or Govern
ment reservations in the mountain dis
tricts, which are the sources of the chief
rivers of the country, the evil effects
which have followed denudation in
Europe and some portions of Asia would
never exist here. The States and the
National Government should be moving
in this matter in good earnest.-Phreno-
