Law OR no law, white Southern peo'
ole will not, and should not, permit ne
gro leaders to print that negro men are
sufficiently attractive for white girls,
even of culture and refinement, to fall
in love with and court their embraces, "
as was done in Wilmington, and
though Secretary Alger says their nat
ural resentment evoked by such puo-
lished statemants was "a disgrace to
North Carolina and to the country" it ii
hardly possible that a similar assertion
about the white girls ofany town in the
North, would not have produced 3
like effect any where in that section.
Right thinking white men, North as
we'll as South, will always protect their
women from insult, irrespective OF law.

ONE OF THE republican newspapers
of Washington says the President Will
intervene in the matter between the
people of South Carolina and the few
white men among them, who, to gain
their own selfish ends, incite the negroes
there to attempt social equality ana
civil and political dominauoy' But 1t
doesn't say he will intervene IN the
matter of the white men OF Illinois
who shoot down negroes for attempt
ing to work there. A wrong neither IN
the North nor the South makes rlgnt'
and because Mr.. Cleveland, without a
call from Governor Altgeldt, sent U. ;.
troops to Illinois, is certainly not ia
sufficient reason for Mr.. Mckinley to
send them to South Carolina, without 8
call from the Governor of that State

THE MARIA TERESA.

AS stated yesterday wreckers who
have arrived at Nassau, n. P, have
brought with them stores from the
stranded vessel off Cat Island, which
establishes beyond doubt that she is
the Maria Teresa.
They report that the water is up to
her between~decks, that she has a list
to starbosrd, which side is damaged,
and that she is dismasted. The vessel
lies between two reefs, on a smooth
bottom aud has her anchor out.
Cat Island is one of the most eastern
most islands of the Bahamas group be-
longing to Great Britain.
The wreckers who brought this news
of the Teresa claim that the vessel
was an abandoned derelict and that
they had right to seize anything on
her they chose. But the British ads
miralty representatives sent custom
officers and police on the steamer An
tilleia, to take possession in the name
of the crown. Against this course the
American counsel at Nassau protested,
claiming a United States ownership,
but admitting that salvage could be
charged.
Opinions differ as to the chance OF
saving the cruiser. Although she has
been aground since Thursday of last
week she rests in an easy position and
the weather is moderate.
In the opinion Of tue Navy Depart
ment the title of the Uoited States to
the Teresa is unmpaired, notwith-
standing the fact that it was necessary
to abandon her for a time. There may
be some question Involved as to the
payment of salvage to the Bahama fish
ermen, but that depends in large
measure on what they have done.

A D1s1NTEREsTED view OF the recent
democratic campaign in New York, In
duces the belief that Judge Van Wyck
was as strong candidate as the demo
orots there could have nominated for
Governor, and that it could not possibly
hsve been conducted on terms better
calculated to win than those adopted
ov Mr.. Croker. Money, however, Is
the most potential of all human agen'
cies, and as Mr.. Croker is human ITS
influence could not be Offset, even by
his conceded political astuteness and
wisdom II blame must fall upon New

always played peculiar politics in New
York city in respect to the quarrels of dis
trict leaders. Let Croker be friendly with
district Hill. Let him quarrel with that
district HILL Let the district Stanchfield
quarrel with the district Hill. and Croker
will invariably pick UP the district Stanch-
field and put him in the place Of the dis
trict Hill. BY doing this he wins the dis
trict Stanchfield to his personal machine,
Hill and the district Stanchfleld more bit
ter than ever, eventually bringing about the
dc wnfall of the district Hill. Hence astute
political leaders expect to see Croker Apply
ward political methods to state politics
Where the Situation Hangs.
A popularity of the situation in this con-
nection is that it Is not certain that
Stanchfield and Hill have auarreled, though
it is certain that Stanchfield has succeeded
in convincing Croker that they are bitter
enemies. One-half Of the people OF Elmira
believe Stanchfield's story of the quarrel
the other half believe that Stanchheld and
Hill are as warm friends as they were
when they were partners in the practice OF
law at Elmlra ten years ago. In the event
of the nomination of StancFheld this point
is of Importance. For should the unexpect-
ed happen and should Stanchfield by some
unfortunate combination Of circumstances
be elected to the governorship, Hill might
use him in crushing Croker in case there
has been no quarrel. In case there has
been quarrel Croker might use Stanch-
field in crushing 11il1.
All of which points political are interest
ing as showing the lack of harmony in the
democratic party in the state of New YORK.
And in the event of the nomination Of
Stanchfield they become not only interest
ing, but important.

Any Previeus Meeting.
PROGRAM OF THE WEEK

BOSTON, September 1e-An official well
ccme to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the

chaplain of the SOVEREIGN Grand Lodge be-
gan the exercises with prayer. Charles N.
Alexander of Boston. chairman of the
executive committee of the Grand Lodge
OF Massachusetts,, then assumed the chair
and after few remarks announced Gen
eral F. b. Appleton of the governors staff
VINO welcomed the Grand Lodge and mem
oers OF the Rebekah branch in behalf of the
state.
Governor Wolcott had intended to be
present and welcome the visitors, but he
attended the dedication of the Massachu-
setts soldiers monument at Antietam, Nd
on Saturday, and was unable to reach this
city In time. Mayor Josiah Quincy spoke
for the city of Boston The other speakers
included Charles Q. Terrell, grand master
for the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts,;
Charles c. Fuller, grand patriarch for the
grand encampment; General Edgar r.
Emerson of the patriarchs militant, and
Mrs. Mary o. Nevips, representing the Re
bekah branch Of the order in this state.
Grand Sire Fred Carleton Responds.
Grand Sire Fred Carleton of Austin, Tex,
responded and the exercises were at an
end. The members of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge then marched to Copiey Hall, where
their secret deliberations began.
When the Sovereign Grand Lodge as
sembled all the delegates except j. h.
Philips of New Westminster, B. c., were
present The absentee had started east
to the meeting, but on the way was re-
called by news of the fire which destroyed
the business part of his home city,

large numbers.
The secret deliberations of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge continued from II am. to

quet in Music Hall at o'clock Senator
Henry Cabot LodgeI Mayor Josiah Quincy
and Attorney General knoWlton are to
speak The sessions of the Grand Lodge
will conclude on Saturday next with the in
stallation of officers. The election occurs
Tuesday morning. The Odd Fellows of
Worcester are probably more interested in
the sessions than any other city on the
continent outside of Boston, owing to the
fact that Deputy Grand Sire Alfred s.
Pinkerton is booked to succeed Grand Sire
Carlton.
Wednesday will be practically a holiday
here in honor of the great parade being ar
ranged for that day.

fever at the residence of his mother near
Fort Myer, Va. The funeral will take
place at IL am. Wednesday from his moth

gallant son. which were brought back from

With the death of this brave soldier
passed away another member of a family
that has grown famous for Its fighters in
the defense of the American flag. Since
the Mexican war, when Capt. Erastus
Allyn Capron. father of the officer who
died yesterday, fell with a mortal wound
at Cherubusco, the family has never been
without a representative in the army.
Capt. Allyn K. Capron of the Rough Riders,
son Of the officer who died yesterday, was
shot down while bravely leading his COM

was pierced by seven Spanish bullets. He

Tu1are Lake Dries I'm

rrom tne Boston Transcript.
Tuiare lake has passed out of existence
Where once there was body of water I'm

square miles in area there is now only n.
barren desert of mud, drying and cracking
In the heat of the desert sunshine Ter
years tLis lake has been known as the
largest body of fresh water west Of the
Rocky mountains. 1T was over eighty
miles long and about thirty-fve miles
across at the widest point Its cepth was
never very great. From 1854 to 1872 the
waters OF the lake changed very little in
area 1t was about these years that irrf-
cation was started In the valley between
Nisalia and Bakersfield, and the shrinkaCe
became very rapid. The Kings river and
TuIare river were tapped in several places,
and the water that would have gone into
Tulare lake was spread out over the dry
pastures and cornfelds. From 1s72 to
1915 the shrinkage was not marked The
southern end OF the lake contracted and
took the form of creek. 1t narrowed
until II was not more than d mile wide
and had drawn up from the southern end
at least fifteen miles. Between 1873 and
1880 when vineyards began to be planted,
the waters shrunk UP almos. TO the bor-
ders OF Tulare county. In 1852 they cross

HIGH EXPLOSIVE SHELLS.
Their Effect Is Not as Dreadful as fs
Imagined.


The effect Of high explosives is enormous
ly exaggerated not only in the popular
mind, but almost universally The idea that
such public buildings as the Capitol at
Washington, or the houses of parliament at
London, can be destroyed by the explosive
carried on the person of an anarchist can
hardly gain the credence of an intelligent
man, though such is the belief of many
newspaper writers. But the equally un-
founded idea that battle ship can be de-
stroyed by high explosive shell meets
with common acceptance. The fact is, that
while high explosives produce very great
effects upon material in close contact with
Them these effects are comparatively local
Experiments made at the United States
naval proving ground at Indian Head Md,
have shown that. while a high explosive
charge Will burst common shell into more
pieces, the general effect on the surround
ings is, on the whole rather less than
when they are burst by ordinary powder
charges. The greater force of the high ex-
plosive seems to waste itself in tearing and
shatterfng the shell itself Moreover, the
powder charge sets fire to anything infiam-
mableIn the neighborhood Of the explosion,
while the high explosive does not.
Clearly, then, there Is no present reason
for using anything but powder as the burst
ing charge of the common shell, and the
field for the high explosive if there be a
leiu IOr 1T III naval warfare, IS In what
have been called torpedo shell-shelI with
thin walls and of great length, so as to
carry very large charges. But all the ex-
periments thus far made have indicated
that here, too, the results to be obtained
have been grossly exaggerated. Even the
largest of such shell, containing three or
four hundred pounds of guncotton, exploded
against the armored side of a modern bat
tie ship, would be practically harmless, and
exploded in the air near such a ship would
cause no serious structural damage IL
such shell could be fred through the side
| of vessel and burst inside her they
would of course, produce widespread de-
! struction and be much more efficient than
common shell of equal weight; but from
| their very nature this is impossible They
must be very weak in order to have great
| capacity, and they are quite certain TO ex-
p.ode outside of any ship that they may
! strike.

THE PASSING OF THE OK.
His Elimination is Attended With
CORsiderable PathOs.


Notwithstanding the ubiqulty of the BIZ
cycle, and the more tardy development Of
the automobile, there is no evidence that
the horse is losing ground in our social and
domestic economy. On the contrary, ehere
has been an increase of about 40 per cent
in horsefiesh since 1882 and of about 70 per
cent in the number Of mules, While that
dear quaint and faithful servant man,
the patient OK, has barely held his own in
the last sixteen years. This is perhaps one
of the inevitable results of the quickened
life Of the country. His star is in the de-
scendant. While the country may be cor
graduated upon the increased push which
demands greater speed and power IN our
modern activities a sigh of regret will
nevertheless follow the vanishing OK just as
it did the old stage coach when the loco
motive forced it off the road.
The OK is such good fellow that his
companionship will be missed. He is the
philosopher among beasts of burden. He
belongs by bfrthright to the Don't Worry
Club He chews the cud of contentment
even while he tolls, and turns upon his
human companion eyes so full and soft and
liquid that the great Homer used them as
the most expressive simle occurring even
to his almost infinite invention to apply to
the divine Hera. So there is poetry in the
fine old beast as well as philosophy. Huge
and solemn, but sweet-breathed and amia-
ble he performs his task with a steady
dignity that puts definite value, even If a
small one, on each passing minute, and
then ceases to burden his soul with the
flight of time.
The gradual passing away of the OK as
a beast of burden has the pathos that at
taches to the extinction of one of the early
families. They came into the country to-
gether, and together they took pioneer
part in it's development. They felle. and
drew off the trees, they tore up the stumps
they scanned and mellowed the rooty soil
making it richly responsive to the needs
of man. They pulled out the great stones
that fretted the face of nature and made
garden spots of the rugged hillside and
plain. The OK was a factor of every enter
prise. He was on the farm at the wharf
and the MILL and when in those early days
of expansive and adventurous ideas te old
places seemed too contracted for .-.e set
tier he bundled his family into prairie
schooner, while his faithful oxen dragged
the ponderous vain six months Journey
toward the setting sun, accomplishing a
tween the twilight and the dawn, browsing
along, and boarding themselves when the
time for the nightly camping arrived.
D.t the old fellow has had his day ex-
cept where the conditions are still primi-
tive. Once he was the steady reliance of
every farmer, but now one hardly sees
yoke In the harvest field or the plough lot
His pace cannot be readjusted to the quick
step of modern ideas and inventions, and
utilitarianism has no use for the poetic or
the picturesque. More and more his desti-
nation is coming to be the shambles This
merrier, but merriment in an OK is incon-

CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
The Sensitive Plate Reveals More
Than the Eye Can See
from St. Nicholas.

Almost the first use in science TO which
The new discovery was put was the photo
graphing Jf the noon, the first recorded
picture being made by Prof. Draper, and
presented TO the New York Lyceum of Nat
ural History. His son. Henry grew so
fond Of astronomical photography that on
leaving college ne went TO Ireland 10 see
The great rejecting telescope of Lord Rosse.
After seeing it he determined to make one
like it. The reputation of the Yankee boy
that he can make not only the thing he
undertakes. but also the machine that
makes twas proved to be deserved by
Henry Draper, FOR he made and he mount
&c the first American rejecting telescope
With II he took over l 500 photographs of
the heavens. and the instrument IS still in
use in Harvard observatory
The telescope not only reveals more than
can be seen by the eye alone, but the SEN
sitive film surpasses the power of the eve
when aided by the telescope for the cam
era records on the film objects which the
eye cannot see through the greatest mag
nifying lenses. No matter how far AWAY
or how dimly IL Shines the light of the
falntest star In time impresses the film and
thus that which is invisible TO the eve
becomes visible on the plate.
In celestial photography the camera IS
kept moving during the taking of the pic-
ture- The exposure sometimes lasts sew
eral hours, and If the camera were sta
uonary the motion Of the earth would soon
carry the subject out of line with the tele-
scope Tie camera, therefore. is attached
TO the tube OF the telescope. and the object
to be photographed is brought into the lens
at the Intersection of two cross wires
