FRED DOUGLASS RILED.

He Replies to = Profsssor's Aspersions
on His Race.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.--In the suffrage
congress today Fred Douglass was greatly
wrought up by Stephen B. Weeks. a
professor OF Trinity college. North Caro-
lima, who read paper on negro suffrage.
The professor said: Negro suffrage Is q
failure. 1t must remain failure so
long as it is not an ally of the white
vote. The southern people will not
submit TO domination. The white man
must rule. No man who has not lived
in negro land knows what negro domi-
nation is. Il means the destruction Of
property, ruin and bankruptcy"
When the professor had finished.
Douglass made an impassioned reply.
"You are not afraid of domination, he
said. 1.-THE negro never can rule this
country. He would be outvoted by sixty
millions OF whites. There is no opposi.
ton to the negro in the sou h until he
aspires to riss If he aspires to become
lawyer or doctor, be at once becomes
an upstart."
The sections discussed papers on the
government Of cities, female suffrage
and law reform.

New Method of Starting Street Cars

The latest method of starting street
cars in Denver is said to result in a saw
ing of at least so per cent over the cost
of the ordinary system. The difficulty
of maintaining schedule time with a
large number of cars is well recognized,
and on many lines if the car be DELAYED
by an accident for quarter of an hour
or 90 minutes tie whole line will be so
demoralized that schedule time will not
be overtaken during the whole day. In
the city of Denver there are "A miles of
electrical and 10 miles of cable tracks,
requiring 1913 trains in daily operation.
To obviate the inconvenience which a
breakdown Of any kind inevitably causes
a system Of telephone circuits has been
arranged with various call points, al
communicating with the head office. Ev-
cry conductor on arriving at the termi-
nus of the route Immediately reports the
number of his car to headquarters ard
receives in reply his proper leaving time
and any instructions that may be neces-
sary. The dispatch clerk is in this way
advised of the whereabouts of each car
and is very often enabled to fill up a
space of from 80 10 60 minutes caused by
parade" The saving of starters at
the various termini is taken as setof

Early Races In Russia.

Russia is so vast and includes so many
races that it might seem we'll nigh hope
less TO determine its most ancient inhab-
itants. Nevertheless this is problem at
which Professor Anatola Bogdanov has
been laboring for the past % years, and
which he attempts to solve in a paper
read before the congress of anthropolo-
gists at Moscow. The kurgans or tu-
null of central Russia contain the relics
of tall, strong, dolichocephahc race,
with light brown hair, as well as a short,
smaller Unacceptable race, with dark
brown hair. The blond type preponder-
ates in the southwestern districts, and
the brunette in thenorthwestern. Bogda-
nov considers the long heads to have been
Slavs, and that the modern Russians of
those parts are an amalgam of the Slavs
with the broader headed race, which is
probably ongoloid.-American Regis

The Use of the Adjective old

old" 1t is odd Harvard" odd Yale"
''old Dartmouth" and one enthusiastic

of Chicago has been heard to refer to
certain rules of that institution as "a
way we have at old Chicago" There Is
certainly an affection conveyed by the
word "old" that 10 other adjective car
ries, and like the terms of address old
man" or ''old boy" 1t signifies that low
ing familiarity with which every one re-

One of the most curious species of
known fruit is the holy or sacred cit
ron Of the Jews. Its virtues are lauded
to the skies, and il is celebrated in leg
end, romance, poetry and song, and
yet 1t appears that 1t Is never eaten. 1t
is known in most all oriental countries,
but appears to be most highly esteemed
by the Moorish Jews of Tunis and Mo-
rocco. On the streets of the last named
city it is sold at about cents per fruit.
These fruits are generally, purchased by
bands nt rowing pilgrims, the members
Of religious professions and Jewish
priests.
When one of these sacred citrons falls
into the hands of priest, he takes it to
the synagogue. where it is kept to be
used in some emblematic rite during the
time of the great feast of the tabernacles.
Not only in oriental countries are these
holy fruits known and esteemed. but in
Germany, Russia France, Spain and in
England. They are probably used in
American Jewish synagogues to some ex-
tent, but such use would be necessarily
limited. In England, so l am informed,
good specimens of holy citrons bring as
much as 80 shillings each, there being
whole companies which make their i'm

Since no song birds lyric gush
Breaks the gray and icy hush,
Since the meadows are in bond,
And white letters chain the pond,
Since the barren boughs bewail,
And the bright hours swiftly fail,
Since the nights are one black blur,
Ihave turned sun worshiper.
Though my vision may not scan
Precepts Zoroastrain,
Yet have some rapture caught
That the ancient Parsees taught.
Winter prisoned, am won
By the promise of the sun,
And / lift my prayer that he
Set the weary captive free.
He can shatter frosty bars,
Edge hillpaths with blossom stars;
He can heal the bare bough's grief
By the boon of bursting leaf,
Woo the solitude TO song.

He can golden life confer
