News comes from vossburg OF sn
almost unprecedented desecration By
negroes Of the grave OF woman near
that place. who was buried two years
ago Several weeks since 1t was noticed
that the grave bad been disturbed. and
the body, In remarkable state Of
preservation, exposed II was supposed
at the time that the work was that Of
parties seeking hidden treasure. but
later Developments led TO the arrest Of
Monroe Smith, George Grayson and
Cicero Ullmer. 1t seems that these
negroes disintsrred the body for the
purpose OF procuring what Is known
among the ignorant and superstitious
OF their race as ''conjure" bones. and
also the fourth rib from the left side OF
the body from which to manufacture
dice, to be used in their crap games, the
negroes believing that dice thus made
would bring them unfailing luck. The
negroes named have all been arrested.

Crops In the Delta.


The weather for three weeks in the
Delta has been such IS to enable the
planters to keep the plows going stead
lily. The result Is that all Of the early
corn is planted, most Of 1t growing and
much Of 1t now being worked for the
first time. The cotton Is also planted
and now coming up. and while lats In
starting the crop, the exceptionally
good weather Of the past three weeks
has placed the farmers in condition
that will compare favorably with an
average year. The acreage in corn Is
much larger than last year, and the cot
ton acreage is perhaps Is to 20 per cent.
less, while more attention than ever be-
fore 10 being paid to stock, hogs, clover.

Tho low price Of cotton has forced this
change Upon the part Of the planters,
and the result will be good.

POLITICS FOR YOUNG MEN.
Senator II ,ar Thinks Principle Is the
Main Thing.

THE young man who Went into poll
tics" said Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
forcibly, piled in and did something He
worked for cause and put himself on a
level with his farmer constituents and so
got their sympathy.
"All of us young Free Sellers were drawn
into politics by great issue. 1t was TO
prevent slavery being extended into the
new territory between the Mississippi and
the Pacific We were all ardent advocates
for freedom. The party and the movement
were new, and we were all stirred by high
ideals
Among the young men who went into
the new movement at that time We're
Charles Francis Adams, my brother, Eben.
ezer Hoar; Erastus Hopkins, Arson Bur
lingame, Whittier Lowell, Longfellow and
many others that became we'll known.
"There were 10 offices to gain. There
was simply cause to work for. In the
campaign of 1880 the Free Sellers did not
carry single state, only few congress
sional districts.
IA new party can do things that an old
party cannot. 1t simply has to set up n
standard and fight for 1t. That appeals to
the heroic instinct in men. But an estab-
lished party has more responsibility. 1t
can do only what the people will bear.
"Of course times are different now, but
see great opportunities in politics for the
young man. 1t requires principle in a man
now as much as it did then In fact, prin.
ciple is the essential thing in public life
today
This might sound like political cant in
some men, but not when uttered by Mas.
sachusetts' senior senator, for his life bears
it out. Senator Hoar is not a rich man.
He lives on his government salary of S. 900.
He was making far more than that when
he practically gave up his law practice %
years ago to go to congress, New York

INVENTIONS BY WOMEN.
They Now Average About Three Hundred
Year.

The patent office has issued a second ap,
pendix to its list Of pa,antS Issued 10 WON.
en-, bringing the list down TO March last
The office was established in 1890, and
the first patent issued TO woman was in
1909, TO Mary Kies, for a method Of weav
Ing straw with silk or thread. Six years
later one was issued to Mary Brush for
corset. 1t was not until 1928 that more
than one patent per year was issued 70
women In 1862 only a patents were Is,
sued TO women, that being the largest In
any year up 20 that time. The war, how
ever, developed the inventive genius OF
women, and the annual number of pat
ents issued to them Increased rapidly.
Many of them We're for inventions for
either fighting or nursing devices, The
annual issue increased steadily year by
year. In 1870 II was 60, in 1850 over 92,
In 1890 over 200 and in 1898 over 500.
From 1909 TO 1883 wOmen'S inventions
averaged 80 year, from 1855 TO 1899 ESQ
year, and since 1872 ESQ u year. Tho
pamphlet gives classification of women'S
inventions. This shows that wearing APP
parcl leads the list, with leo different
patents in 80 months. Then comes cook
ing utensils, with 100 inventions; furni.
ture, with 90; heating and washing or
cleaning apparatus, with 30 odd each;
sewing and spinning devices and building
apparatus with about so each; education.
al, medical apparatus, toys and trunks,
about 20 each Other lines in which wom-
en- have tried their inventive faculties are
baby carriages barrel and bicycle attach
ments, printing and bottling apparatus,
boxes and baskets, clocks, flowers, horse
shoes, motors musical instruments, plumb
Ing and preserving devices, screens, sta.
tiouery theatrical apparatus, toilet arti-
cles and typewriter attachments. Very few
of the patents issued to women We're for
entirely new creations. Excluding those
especially concerning women's work, near
ly all the other patents were for attach
ments to some previously existing device.

High Time Something Were Done.

AS result of the recent international
conference in Paris steps have been taken
in most of the continental countries to pro.
tect the birds useful in agriculture by
helping to destroy injurious insects. A
list of birds considered helpful in this re.
gard has been published by an authorized
committee. 1t includes a number of the
singers usually allotted to cages as well as
Others sacrificed for ornamental purposes.
A period of three years is to be allowed
to the various countries to arrange their
laws in accordance with the decisions OF
the conference, and after that time there
will be great change in the trade with
birds. This is certainly praiseworthy. 1t
is high time that more stringent laws
along the same lines should be introduced
in the various states NJ this country, or
many useful varieties OF birds will soon
be extinct. New York Tribune

HORSES FOR FOOD,
The Industry Seems to Have II Footing and
to Have Come to Stay.

The Strengthening of horses for human
food is now recognized western industry,
and the authorities have shown no DISPOSE
ton to interfere with 1t. In fact, the city
health department of Chicago says horse
meat, from n sanitary point of view, is SUI
pcrior to that of beef for the reason that
horses do not have tuberculosis.
There is horse slaughter house ut Ham
mond, Ind, and several in that vicinity,
and there is also one in Chicago, the most
extensive of the lot, on the Archer road
and Fifty-second street, The main cause
of complaint against the Archer road abat-
toir is that the horses slaughtered there
are broken down and emaciated animals,
and many of thom are said to be afflicted
with disease. Comparatively little of this
meat is sold in America, the bulk of it GO
ing to Europe, and, as n consequence, tho
consuls representing Germany, Belgium
and France have made complaint to tho
state department.-Ne York Herald.
