In the lngalis-Douglass controversy
over the negro question the Kansas City
Star leans to the side of the latter, as
witness this bit of comment:
Mr. Douglass has the advantage in that
he knows as much about white people as
does Mr.. ingalls,. and he knows a great
deal more about black people As rule,
with the exception OF few men like the
late General Armstrong, very little is
known by white people about the intel
lectual progress OF the colored people.

NJ W. Levy's address before the
worlds bankers congress at Chicago is
credited with being one of the best ad-
dresses made. That part relating to
banking in Kansas is very interesting for
a dry subject. But, when Mr. Levy
turns his attention to the resources of
Kansas he is at his best and talks in
a way that meets the appreciation of
every loyal Kansan.

That picture of Frances f. Willard
hanging in the Kansas building at the
worlds fair, which has an Indian, a

'Woman's Peers, is a senseless piece of
work and s less cause to hang in the
Kansas building than that of any other
state. Take il down.

While expressing a degree Of satisfac-
ton at her acquIttal the lawrence
Record makes the remarkable statement
that Miss Borden owes her escape from
the death penalty more to the fact of
her sex tran TO any proof OF her limo
cenoe. II has been the general belief
that the prosecution Of Miss Borden was
instituted and organized TO convict her.
and 1t may be this to which the Record
refers, otherwise Its statement is an
enigma. The presumption of the law Is
that person Is innocent until proven
guilty. The Record would reverse the
rule, and require the accused TO first es-
;ablish her innocence.

The Stoddard Lectures.

The Stoddard Lecture season opened
Monday evening at Central Music Hall,
Chicago. Unusual interest had been
manifested in this occasion, which was
Mr.. Stoddard's temperance after two
years absence, in the course of which he
had made his famous journey around
the world. When his well remem bered
form appeared before the footlights he
was greeted with applause SO deafening
and so long continued that be had to
wait some minutes before he could be-
gin. The first tones Of his voice were a
signal for renewed demonstrations. His
audience packed the great Music Hall
from pit to dome, and listened spellbound
to his animated, interesting and atstimes
humorous, description of his experiences
in Japan. All his previous achievements
in the way of illustration pale before
the really artistic and beautiful crea-
tions of Japanese art which were sue
cessively and rapidly revealed during the
hour and half that the lecture was in
progress. Mr.. Stoddard's reception was
the most fattering in his entire career
and augurs brightly for the long season
of five weeks now begun, and for which
crowded houses are already assured for
full time.

DEATH OF FRANK Il. DOYLE.
A Maine stenoerapher Well Know in
Washington Circles.

Frank F. Doyle, an expert stenographer,
who was well known about the Capitol,
died suddenly at the Kelley Institute in
Laurel Saturday morning. He had been
drinking heavily, and last Friday he con-
sented to go to the institute for treat
ment. He was found dead in bed Satur-
day morning. Mr.. Hardin, manager OF
the institute, says that Doyle was on the
verge of delirium tremens when ne
arrived there. Remedies were admin
istered, and the patient was very noisy
during the night About 2 O'Clock he
went to sleep. The watch was changed
at o'clo elk in the morning, and about
half an hour later Doyle died.
The deceased was a native of Lewiston,
Me. He came here about three years ago
as private secretary to Senator Chandler.
He has since served as clerk to several
house committees He was locked up for
drunkenness not many days ago, and and
came near being tried for insanity. For
several months he has lived at the house
of Mrs. O'Connor No. II Massachusetts
avenue. His body will probably be sent
to Lewiston for interment. Washington

Deserving of Praise.

The family of the late M. G. Percival
are $4,000 better off by reason of the
generosity of the New England Mutual
Life Insurance Company, in which Mr..
Percival was insured for $4,000. The
premium on one of the policies fell due
Sept. 25th and was unpaid. Mr.. Percival
died Sept. 2Sth. The deceased had writ
ten Mr.. V. Richard Foss, General Agent
of the Company at Portland, that he in
tended to adjust the premium not later
than the 2Sth, but this letter was mad
vertently filed by an Office clerk and did
not come to the attention of Mr.. Foss
until after Mr.. Percival's death. While
the Company is not under any legal OBJ
ligatiou to pay the claim, the circum-
stances were such that they recognize a
moral obligation and the policy will be
paid in full This is such an unheard of
transaction, corporations generally being
considered heartless, that the facts of the
case deserve publicity.

About Blankets.

Whoever reads J. R. Libby's blanket
ad. in another column cannot fail to no
tice that in advertising the size of blan-
kets he ignores the old method of call
ing them quarters-10-4, LID, 12-4, etc.
He says these figures are always mis-
leading; that blankets marked 1914,
meaning ten-quarters Of yard. or two
yards and half long, never measure
nearly that Id means 2 ga yards,
when actually about all blankets sold fol
liza measure from 10 to IL inches short
of that. Mr.. Libby advertises the size
by inches, actual measurement, SO that
the customer knows just the size of the
blanket. This method may not be quite
as worldly wise, but it certainly is hon
est.

Lively Fights.

Yesterday afternoon some Armenians
got into dispute at the corner of Fore
and Franklin streets over the sale of a
horse. They spoke their own language
and it was unintelligible to outsiders.
Words led to blows and one Of the men
was badly thumped. The man who, it
was said did the pounding was arrested
and two others were held as witnesses.
Yesterday morning there was a fight on
the lower end of India street. Six young
men became engaged in a hand to hand
encounter. The father of one of the COM
batants went to the assistance of his SON
and made swinging blow that missed
the man aimed at and leveled the son to
the earth. The old man was overcome
with grief and vowed vengence.

MAINE MISSIONARIES
Said To Have Been. Massacrcd in Alaska
by Natives.

AS is well known, Alaska has been
but there are disquieting reports on that
point. It is said that private kilograms
have been received by Maine, parties to
the effect that there has been a serious
revolt of some of the natives at the mis-
sions, and that some of the missionaries,
including one from this state, have been
killed. The extent of the reported up
rising, or the number OF names of the
missionaries murdered, or in fact any
particulars have yet to be learned.

Boston g. Maine.

The pamphlet report of the Boston
and Maine shows that in 8 months S.S4
miles of double track have been built
and 26. Is miles of side track in addition
to $3.50 miles of side track on the Con-
necticut River Railroad at the inception
of the lease, Jan. 1, 1898. Four thousand
nine hundred and sixty-three tons of new
steel rails have been laid on main lines
and 1894 tons of partly worn rails have
been relaid on branches.
There is food for reflection for Boston
and Maine stockholders in the report of
the Worcester, Nashua and Rochester
road for the year ending June 80, as filed
with the Railroad Commissioners here.
The income of the road, the rental of the
Boston and Maine, was $4,000 Mis-
cellaneous expenses to the amount of
1914, 366. 90 have to be deducted from this,
leaving the net income $155, 633.3S. The
dividend Of per cent, however, called
for $1S3, 1854, and as this was paid, the
result was further increase of $2e, 23062
in the debt Of this company. Previously
this accumulated debt amounted to
$342, 247.4O, SO that the total for the new
fiscal year is $3.50, AIS.
This is the road which it has been be-
lieved would be eventually absorbed by
the Boston & Maine. In 1884 this road
paid Psi per cent, and had surplus of
$4,000. Leased the next year to the
Boston and Maine, the dividends were
shortly increased to per cent and the
enormous deficit referred to rolled up.
