COLORED PEOPLE INTERESTED.
Benefits Expected to Follow the Re-
cent Mortality Conference.

cent Mortality Conference.
A good deal of interest is being taken
among the colored people in the effort to
improve their health conditions. The con-
ference held this week, which resulted in
the formation of the Savannah Confer
ence on City Mortality" was an outcome
of the interest created through the At
lanta conference of 1896 on the same sub
ioot
Rev. Thomas Gilbert Hazel, author of
the conference in Savannah, was a par
ticipant in the Atlanta conference. On
finding it impossible to accept the invita-
ton to be present in Atlanta this year,
and having seen some of the causes of
mortality among the colored people in the
large cities he deemed it advisable to call
a conference in this city where he has
been preaching. In May he began plans.
He corresDonded with a number of lead
ing physicians and others in some of the
large cities on the subject
The time for the conference was fixed
for July Z, but as it was thought this
would give too short a time in which TO
prepare papers 1t was deferred until the
18th. Rev. Hazel feels that the success
of the conference was largely due to the
participants, and especially to Rev. J. ].
Durham, VINO, on being approached, was
at once interested. He did not offer his
church, but on being asked If the confer
ence might be held there, replied: Il don't
care where it's held, l will work for it's
success, and will be there" His church
was selected on account of its size and
ventilation. The author of the conference
and those who took part are gratified with
the interest shown on the part of the pub
lie by the very large attendance at the
sessions.

The American Hen.

Mrs. American Business Hen IS one OF
orr most useful citizens. She is shrink
ing, unassuming creature, too modest at
times even to cackie over the birth OF
her own egg, leaving that celebration to
her husband; and yet Mrs. American
Hen has been quietly paying of mort
cages, driving wolves from the door and
Matching out nest eggs for thousands Of
featherless bipeds.
In 1850 there were in this country
S,S7l ,125 chickens and 26,738, 3l5 other
fowls. In that year the American hens
laid 1886, 1874, 1892 eggs. There are now
800, 0O0, 900 chickens, which will lay this
year l3, $50 100000 eggs. These eggs are
worth $3.50, 10000 and the poultry meat
sold during the year will bring 1925 ,000,-
900, which gives 100000 as very
low estimate OF the earnings OF Mrs.
American Hen for one year OF the great
depression.
The $4,000, 900 hens are worth $780,
900, 900 of any mans money, but we will
not consider that, but take simply the
earnings OF the hen. The average length
OF an egg is two and one-half inches.
The 13, 100, 900, 600 eggs will, therefore,
make a chain 542, 2l8 miles long, while
the total weight Of this production of hen
fruit is at least 853, 125 tons.
The value of gold produced in Amer
lean mines in 1897 was $40, go 900, and
of silver $72,O5l 900. The value of all
minerals, including iron, gold and silver,
taken out OF American mines in 1894 was
$208, 168, 76S. Americans are given to

Passing Of the Packer.

1t was remarked the other day on the
street that since the foundation Of the
town, the present summer is the first
that pack trains have not been employed
in carrying freight from this point to the
interior mining country. The remarks
recall the palmy days of 1862-3-4, when
Lewiston supported population OF TO-
900 people and hundreds of pack trains
were engaged in the traffic to the mines.
In those days the ownership of well
equipped train was equal to a fortune,
and thousands was made in the business
of packing. Even as late as the year of
the Nez Perez Indian war, a Lewiston
firm received sac, 900 from the govern
ment for the Sc rHice of a train during the
campaign. But gradually with the adj
vent of wagon roads, the old-time pack
train has been withdrawn from service
and the present season the departure of
not single train from Lewiston is re-
corded. This fact recalls to mind the
destiny of the old-time packer. 1t seems
but yesterday when he was prominent
figure in western civilization. The guar
dian of sacred treasures, the proud,
gallant chaperon of timid women and
tender babes over our dangerous trails,
and the trusted courier of messages OF
love, OF JOY and 81 sorrow, he was known
in every camp and welcomed in every
household. He is fast passing into I'M
inspiring history, and there is just bit
of keenness in the sadness of his going

A C1oudburst Above Dayton.

Much damage was done to gardens and
property in Dayton and country south OF
the city Monday afternoon OF this week,
at which time an electric storm accom-
panied by very heavy rain in the city
and cloudburst above town was eXper-
fenced. The electric current was seen
playing around the wires on main street,
and the residence belonging to Night
watch Geo, Wick was struck, the cur
rent going down the chimney and chang
ing the stovepipe from black to red in
an instant. A daughter OF MIR Wick
was quite badly stunned by tire mock
and her flesh somewhat scorehad lat
she was not seriously affected. tnl-e
other childieu were in the house al .le
time but we're not disturbed. In the up
per part of Dayton much damage was
done to gardens through the water from
supposed cloudburst coming down
Van Patten's gulch and carrying every
thing in it's course. The water was sew
eral feet deep along the gulch. Near the
race was piled large quantity OF refuse
matter. The water carried this into the
race and choked the headgate on Fourth
street SO that an overflow was caused.
All the property surrounding the race
and the streets for many blocks We're
flooded for while, and the boys had
sport catching fish in the streets four or
five blocksIaway. Water visited cellars,
houses and barns and carried rocks and
debris with it. \ force OF men went to
work cleaning out the race and III a
short time the overflow WAS stopped.
On what is known as the rocky grade
about three miles above this city on the
main Touchet large rocks were rolled
down the hill side to the road below for
distance Of go yards or more along
the grade, completely stopping traffic
Tor u while, and much OF the grade
which had just been widened was
washed away. a dozen men or more
were Immediately put to work clearing
away the obstruction, and by a couple
Of DAYS hard work have succeeded IN
making the way clear. There were also
places farther up the river where much
of the same havoc was wrought by the
storm. Some grain is reported to be
battered down and destroyed but it Is
thought not to any great extent. pio
neers of this section say Mondays rain
was by far the heaviest ever experienced
in this locality.-Dayton Courier.

Dragging about our immense mineral re-
sources, and yet you will notice that the
hens paid for it all in one year and had
enough left to just about pay the inter
est on all mortgages.
Mrs Hen will earn enough this year
to pay che entire state and county tax
(Which in 1890 was $143, lS6,007), and
have enough left for every cent of pen
sions that are paid to old soldiers,
The average COW weighs $50 times as
much as the average hen, and yet all the
milch COWS in the country have total
value of but $263, 955, 545. Mrs Hen in
one year will earn enough to buy every
COW, and put the entire tobacco crop in
her pocket as we'll. She could pay out
of her years earnings for all the tea and
coffee imported in one year and all the
petroleum products, and have enough
left to buy all the tobacco grown in 1886
The total assessed valuation OF the fol-
lowing states fall below the hens yearly
earnings:
New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware,
Arizona, West Nerginia, North Carolina,
Utah, Nevada, Florida, North and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Alabama Mississippi
Idaho, Louisiana, Arkansas, Montana,
Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mex
leo.
In other words, Mrs. American Hen
could buy any Of these states from one
years egg and chicken money She
could buy in this way New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, Wyoming, North Dakota, Idaho
and Montana all put together
The total cost OF conducting the post
otite department last year was $90, 526,-
296.84. We can pick out 50,t00,00 OF
our best hens that will cover every dol
lar Of this outlay in one year.
The net earnings OF the railroads in
1895 were 1923, 1856, 454. The railroad
dividends paid amounted to $8l $40, ia.
The American hen paid nearly twice the
profits earned by American railroads.
The total earnings from passenger
traffic amounted to $26l $40, 59S, or less
than that of the hens. 1t cost in 1895
slightly over two cents to carry one
passenger one mile, .0l8+ OF cent to
carry one ton of freight one mile, and
ninctv-one cents to run the average train
one mile. One single hen, laying $50
eggs per year, could have ID days OF va
cation, and would still be able to pay for
carrying one passenger 100 miles, or for
hauling ten tons OF freight 10 900 miles,
or for running an ordinary train two
miles One hundred and forty such hens
would pay the salary Of the average
teacher employed in the public school
while seventy-fve hens would pay the
average pension to old soldiers.-NeN

thy horses must not be allowed to come
in contact with infested ones Harness
and saddles must not be used indiscrim-
lnately on the diseased and healthy ami
mails. Remedial measures are many
and depend entirely on how an animal
is affected. If the patient is not badly
affected wash of strong soapsuds will
loosen the scabs and few applications
to the affected spots of kerosene, one
part OF lard to three parts, will do.
When the animal is badly affected it is
sometimes very hard to cure him as the
disease will break out again, He must
first be thoroughly washed with the
soapsuds and when he is nearly dry wash
him with a solution OF corrosive subli-
mate, one drachm to water one quart,
wash him thoroughly and carefully, do
INST get any OF the solution into the eyes
rs it may cause trouble. This dressing
should be repeated four or five times at
intervals OF, at first two or three days,
later of four or five days. After this the
animal should be closely watched for
some time. All the appurtenances about
the stable should be cleaned with hot
water and the leather should be well
oiled. The litter should he burned. This
disease is transmissable to man but may
be quite easily cured.-Dayton Courier.
