ONLY A SIDE ISSUE.
Debs' Colonization Scheme is Pro-
nounced Only a Small Part of
the General Plan.

Milwaukee,, Wis, June 30.-The Debs
colonization scheme has not been aban-
dO1ed, as has been reported. Victor L.
Berger, editor of the Vorwaerts of this
city, who attended the conference of the
leaders of the social democracy st Chi
ago recently, says the whole matter
mas been misunderstood. He says it is
the intention of the social democracy
all over the country to go to organizing
in the hope that eventually they will
get into power and reVOlutionize the So
cial system of the United States. Mean
while as fast as they get means they
intend to send unemployed people from
the cities to a point in the west still to
be selected, where they may have a
chance to make a livelihood.
The colonization scheme is only a side
issue with the social democracy, but
Mr.. Berger says the press of the coun-
try have made it the main plan.
Mr. Debs is in full accord with the
plan outlined by Mr.. Bergen. The lat
ter says there are 3 600 900 unemployed
in the country, and he will consider his
party lucky if it can raise money
enough to transport only 10000 to the
west.
There was never any intention of
forming vast army to invade the west
in search Of homes and a livelihood
Chicago, June 30.-"AIr. Berger was
evidently misunderstood, said Secre-
tary Kelliher of the social democracy
today, in referring to a Milwaukee dis
patch quoting Victor L. Berger, editor
of the VOrwaerts of that city, as say
ing that Eugene V. Debs had abandon
ed the colonization scheme A great
many. people seem to think that the idea
of the social democracy is to form a
mob and march across the country.
There never has been any intention of
sending a large number of people west
at first The idea is to send only a few
at first, especially selected with view
to their skill in their respective trades
to form a. colony. No more are to be
sent out at first than we can take care
OF and help to be disappearing.
Plenty of financial support has been
promised, and within the next two
weeks a commission will be appointed
to visit several states in the west with
a view to selecting a site for the pro-
posed colony. No place has yet been
decided upon, but Washington is fav-

STRANGE SOUTHERN FISH.
Beautiful Specimens Brought From
Bermudas by Dr. T. II. Bean.

New York, June SO.-Dr. T. H. Bean,
superintendent of the aquarium, returned
today on the steamer OrinocO, returned
three weeks trip through the Bermudas
and brought with him some interesting
specimens of fish peculiar to the waters
in and near the gulf stream. The most
beautiful specimens are angel fish. They
are six to eight inches long, with fiat,
opal-colored bodies, tinged with rainbow
colored hues, including purple, crimson,
bright green and deep blue tints. The
dorsal and lower fins extend back further
than the tail and in swimming through
the water the fish resemble flying birds
of gorgeous plumage.
Another interesting specimen is that
called by the natives of Bermuda, the sur
geon fish, from the fact that each
side of the body near the tail is fixed
sharp, needle-lilze bone, which, when not
in use for purposes of defense, can be
depressed like the blade of a pocket
knife. The fish is about 10 inches long,
with a fat body and of blue color on the
back.

MADDENED BY STORMS.
Wind, Rain and Clouds Drive Young
Woman to Suicide.

&. Louis, June 3O.-Made mad by the
tornado and worked up to a frenzy by
the recent threatening weather, Minnie
Rose of 2703 Chouteau avenue, ended
her young life with paris green last
Before the death dealing storm Of
May q, 1896, Minnie was a happy, care
free girl One night of horror unbalan-
ced her mind and opened the way for
the insidiOus malady that prompted her
to take her life
She took the fatal dose early yester-
day morning and died at 1870 last night.
Minnie was a tall, stately blonde, 20
years Old the only daughter of Louis
Rose, vice president of the c. & L. Rose
Curing and Cold Storage company.
The Rose home was in the verWheart
of the tornado.
The house was almost demolished and
Minnie and her young brother had a
narrow escape.
For nearly a week after the storm,
Minnie, though not physically injured,
lowered between life and death.
The fright and terrible ordeal through
which she passed developed hysterical
mania which ever after the first attack
never deserted her.
Two months ago hope was high in the
breasts of her parents. There was eV-
cry sign of recovery. The periods of
detection were less frequent and short
er.
But one night there came a storm.
The banks of clouds and the rolling
tnuntr9E awakened ali the nOrD1Q rear
that had been preying on the young
girls mind.
That night and the next day she was
hysterical. Then she took to her bed
physically and mentally exhausted.
DR.. James T. Pirtle was summoned.
He pronounced the girls malady an in
sidiOus brain disease. The patient i'm
proved slightly under his care until a
week ago, when her old enemies, the
clouds, reared themselves like a bull
wark between her and nealth.
Night after night thunder and light
ming played, while the sky was overcast
with Ieaden clouds.
The old frenzy seized the girl. In
her weakened state she ina gined she
was passing again through the terrors
of the tornado.
The shutters of the little bed room
were carefully drawn to veil from her
eyes the threatening aspect of the
weather, but the very sound of the
gathering storm f=enzied her. To her
the passing of a summer nights wind
was the pitiless screeching of gale.

RAILWAY TIES FOR CHINA.
Oregon Lumber Dealers Get a Big
Foreign Contract

San Francisco, June 3O.-The lumber
trade of the Pacific coast with Oriental
countries is increasing at a rapid rate.
D. H. Bib has returned from Portland.
Ore, after closing a contract with the
Chinese government representatives for
100000 feet of railway ties and zoos. 600
feet of bridge stringers to be used in the
construction of a railroad through the
province of Manchuria, the grading for
which has been completed.
There was contest in the bidding be-
tween mills of British Columbia and the
American mills but one of the latter car
ried OF the prize. The same company
has also secured a contract to deliver
100000 feet of pine lumber at Nagazal XII
and the steamer Fausang is now loading
100000 feet of it at Portland. That the
American lumber interests of this coast
are prosperous, is shown by the fact that
the shipments of Oregon lumber to the
Orient since January 1, 1887, approximate
100000 900 feet.

Chicago, June 3o-The banquet hal
of the Lexington hotel was thrown open
yesterday to the members of the Sum-
ner club, who had as their guest Prof.
Booker T. Washington, president of
Tuskegee university, and who since the
war has been the leader of coIored edu-
cation in the south.
Professor Washington came to Chi
cago to try to raise money for the uni
Versity which he established The
Summer club appointed committee
which met him on his arrival and es-
cOrted him to the Lexington hotel.
There he was met by number of dis
tinguished men of his race, among them
| being the Rev. B. w. Arnett, the Rev
! w. B. Derrick, DR.. H. T. johnson, edi-
tor Of the Christian Recorder, and the
Rev. Beverly c. Johnson.
Nearly one hundred men prominent
IN c0loEed circles, in educational, profess
stonaL and other work gathered around
the banquet tables in the dining hall
Lloyd G. Wheeler acted as POSTMASTER
a. H. Roberts delivered the address of
| welcome on behalf Of the Summer club
Prof. Washington was the next speak
er. In part he said:
Never since I first started out with
my work have I met with such encOur-
agement as I have tonight For the
first time have met a congrega ton of
men of my race who are with me heart
and soul. thank you for this recep-
uon- L thank you for the interest you
take in what I am trying to do for the
negro.
What the coIored man needs is
constituency behind him and the assur-
3nce that the constituency will stand
firm An absence of fear will do more
10 help courage than courage itself. We
wish to put into the hands of every col
ored boy the same tools that are put in
the hands of the white boy.
In our country there is a lack of me-
chanics Of all kinds. The white men
either will not, or cannot, fill the places.
The cOlOred men must. I ask you to
get out of the rut of the thought that
we must cling to a servile work and
help US to get to a higher plane"

compose the committee appointed by
the Topeka division to carry on the
work OF the celebration and str up in
terest among the other divisions of the
order, not only IN Kansas, but over the
entire Santa Fe road proper. The let
ter from Mr.. KOunS spoken of in
the circular was the one officially an
nOuncing the proposed Santa Fe cele-
bratiOn.
The circular letter was sent to divis-
ions of the 0. r. c. at the following
points: Chicago, Newton, Pueblo, Den
yer, Ell Paso, Las Vegas, st. Joseph,
Chillicothe, Arkansas City, Trinidad,
Caldwell. Chanute, Fort Madison, San

reply to the circular letter It is from
HeringtOn division 257, and reads as
follows:
&C. a. Horn, Topeka, Kan:
Your circular letter of recent date at
hand, and 1 am instructed by this df-
vision to answer your kind letter and
say that anything that we can do to
help the good work along We are will
ing to do. We have no special plans
to offer, but some of US will be up there

Secretary Harrington Division PSI, o.
r. c.
The part to be taken by the con-
ductors in the Santa Fe celebration has
not yet been determined on. A fund
will probably be raised by collecting
subscriptions from all of the divisions
over the road and a display prepared.
But few of the Kansas conductors can
take part in the big parade, as their
work will be extremely heavy that
week. but sufficient men from different
n
make creditabIe showing with the
display.

1t is said that the patterns on the
finger tips are not only Interchangeable
through life, but the chance of the fin
ger prints of two persons being alike
is less than one chance in sixty-four
billions.
Among the animals which surpass
man in the ratio of brain weight to body
