Many Of the coIored clergymen of the
country have recorded their protest
against the term "Afro-Am erican. - They
are right and entitled to sympathy. The
absurdity of referring to man as an
AAsia-American' would be very obvious,
not less SO however, is the appellation too
frequently given to Americans whose
skin is black. If a distinguishing term
is needed call them negroes. No ex-
ception should be taken to this.

New things in medical annals are fol-
lowing one another thick and fast. 1t
has recently been noted that human
stomach was removed without causing
death to the patient and at thu Post
Graduate hospital in New York an indi-
vidual suffering from apopIexy has just
undergone the operation of trephining
and is likely to recover. A revolution in
medical practice seems to have been
launched and to be well on its way.

SNOW in LUMBER REGIONS.
Good Hauling On Upper Penobscot and
Business is Brisk.

Bangor, December 29-There is no
snow in Bangor or vicinity as yet, but
in the great numbering regions of the up
per Penobseot there is good hauling and
business is brisk. Cornelius Murphy of
Oldtown is down from his camps on
Cham berlain lake ON the Eastern branch
and he reports about fifteen inches of
the western branch, says Mr.. Murphy,
there is also a good depth, and everything
is going along swimmingly. The snow
first came on November 8, and the depth
has gradually increased ever since. On
Mattawamkeag waters and in other
snow, but all through the big logging
region there is a plenty. There is a
popular notion that two feet or more of
snow is required for good hauling, but
lumbermen say that eighteen inches is
the limit-they would rather see less than
more. Mr. Murphy estimates the cut on
Penobseot waters this winter at close to
200, 900, 600 feet. He says that wages are
the average about So month lower than
last year. The new tariff has dis
couraged operators on the other side of
the line, and this has caused hundreds of
men who were formerly employed there
to come to Maine after job. Thus the
market was overstocked and the rate of
wages fell. Supplies cost more than last
year, however, and that about eyens
things up, so that the operator neither
gains or loses by the changes.

The late Populist Legislature which
was elected in North Carolina on the
"Retrenchment and Reform issue has
succeeded in practically emptying the
state treasury. 1t is the same old story,
and is due to the mismanagemen5 of the
Pepulist officials and Legislators who as a
rule seem to have no ideas of business. 1t
was SO in Kansas and Nebraska and now
is equally true of North Carolina. In the
last named state the penitsntiary, which
nndersDemocratio and Republican admin
istrations had been self supporting for
years, furnishes this yaar revenue which
will not pay fifty to sixty per cent of the
expenses.

1t is to be regretted that, when.a meas
ure of SO much public concern as a
National quarantine law is proposed, it's
passage should be endangered by rivalry
between two such influential bodies as the
Marine Hospital service and the Ameri-
can Medical Association. Senator Gallery
has presen ted a bill which is designed to
cover the matter, but the American As
sociation proposes to create q new public
department with representation in the
Cabinet. 1t is very desirable that the
9dvoeates of the different plans should get
together and in some way harlnonize their
views, otherwise % most commendable
movement is likely to go down in defeat.

NaturnI Hot water

DIR. E. II. Marshall, of Boise, Idaho,
says that in the vicinity of Boise there is
a store of subterranean hot water which
is being used to heat that city, and
with excellent results. The water was
discovered about six years ago, and
when first tapped gushed to a height of
40 feet and almost scalded to death the
workmen who were boring an artesian
well. The water was found at depth
of about 400 feet, and has natural pres
sure enough to raise it to the top floors
of ordinary buildings, whence it will
flow down through coils of radiators,
heating the whole building. The water
is said to have temperature of ITO de-
grees Fahrenheit, and company has
been formed for piping the streets and
supplying the hot water for heating
purposes. 1t is claimed that saving of
so per cent. can be effected over the
ordinary method of heating. There is a
large area of ground near the city where
the hot water spouts above the surface
when tapped, and number of well
drillers are at work endeavoring to en-
large the area-Butte Inter-MouDtain.

His Latin. -sz$
:
Some years ago one of the 1aymen
who find places on the bench of the
highest court of New Jersey, thanks to
political influence and accommodating
governors, was builder or contractor
living in the northern part of the state,
a man notoriously ignorant of law and
untitled for any judicial position, says
the New York Post. Not long after his
appointment judge of a federal court
who knew the man met him, and, with
rather an amused smile, asked:
''Well, judge, how do you get along
on the bench?"
''Oh,'' was the reply, 81 get along very
well. You see, L have been on the grand
jury a good deal and so had picked up
considerable about law. But, judge" "
he went on rather earnestly, 81 find I've
got to study Latin"
Indeed! That's rather serious bust

is it not?"
''Yes, but I've got to do it. You see,

mean when they say laches?"
He pronounced the word Catches -
and as he spoke he made a motion with
his index finger as of man lifting a
latch.

of Latin is not recorded. .,.ss4 :45se44e--z. :4544ess.z.

The Indians on the Shoshone reserva-

son sown 125,OOO pounds of grain, and
it is expected they will sow as much
more before the close of the planting
season. The department is not giving
the seed to the Indians this year as
heretofore, but is loaning it, and ex-
poets the Indians to repay it when they
harvest their crops. The pupils of the
Indian school are farming extensively

Capt. Wilson, and the teachers of the
school. They have put out 12,OOQ cab

EMO BACK TRACK.

The Democrats are taking no back
track. At a conference in Texas, called
by the chairman of the State committee
there was but one sentiment, and thai
was expressed in this paragraph Of thu
revolutions adopted:
"That we hail as an advance sign
of the return to the principles upon
which prosperity can alone be
achieved, the disposition Of the people
in other States, as expressed in the
recent elections, to the time-honored
doctrine of bi-metallism, and to the
use of both gold and silver as the
standard money metals Of the coun-
try; and to system Of just and fair

tanned in the last national Democratic
platform adopted in Chicago in 1896"
