AN ARMY IN THE FIELDS.
BOOth-Tucker's Colonization Scheme
In Practical Operation.

HOLLY, Col, May 3.-The success Of the
Salvation Army colony founded by Booth
Tucker near this place suggests a method
by which rich phianthropists may confer
great blessings upon their unfortunate fell
low-men, giving them an opportunity to
take a fresh start in life and at the same
time contribute to the general wealth of the
country and secure for themselves a profit
able investment.
If one-half or even a small percentage of
the money that is expended for charity by
our state, county and municipal govern
ments could be devoted to the permanent
removal of the persons relieved to the
prairies of the west and to placing them in
| a condition where they can take care of
themselves pauperism might gradually be
diminished instead of increasing at an
alarming rate, at present.
The state of New York spends between
S40O0,0OO and $3.UUO.UOO year in charity.
1t cost the Salvation Army S15,2l2.O2 TO
make the twenty-six families and 1o1 per-
sons in this colony self-supporting and pro-
vide them with permanent employment,
comfortable and happy homes and chance
to make something of themselves. If only
10 per cent, or o per cent, or even l per
cent of the New York charity fund had
been applied to the removal and location
of few families of the tenement-house
population TO the fresh air and rich soil of
the pralrleS great permanent GOOD could
have been accomplished instead of encour-
aging pauperism, for Booth-Tucker's theory
is true, that charity propagates paupers
He says, and he knows by experience, that
when man who is able to work accepts
charity he loses degree of self-respect
and self-reliance that can never be recov-
cred, and that the oftener he accepts relief
the more rapidly he descends in the scale
Of manhood until he becomes a confirmed
and worthless dependent.
Perhaps one-halr of the 100000 people
who Booth-Tucker says are more less
dependent upon charity in this country are
incapable of taking care of themselves.
Whisky and Incidence are the most prolific
producers of poverty, but perhaps the other
half of the 100000 might be able to sup
port themselves If they We're given another
chance among fresh surroundings. 1t is at
least worth the while to try the expert
ment. Certainly no can be seriously
injured by being placed in pleasant cot
tage on the fertile soil and In the pure air
Of Colorado, and 1t would be a great thing
If some Rockefeller or Carnegie, or some
woman like Miss Gould, with millions at
command, would make an experiment in
that direction.
That plenty of poor people in the cities
are willing to go is shown by the thousands
of applications that have already been re-
ceived by the Salvation Army, and that
certain ratio Of transplanted unfortunates
may fail to become good farmers ought not

Took Pity on Her.

A young miss who visited the Raleigh
became very much interested in the galley
where the officers dinner was being pre-
pared There were men of four NATIONAL
ities-a Swede, a Frenchman, a jap and a
Chinaman-engaged in the work Calling
the Swede to her side, she asked him for a
small piece of bread or something of the
sort Tor souvenir. The man looked at
her with surprise for a moment and then
went over and consulted with the Others
Ihen all took turn at glancing at the girl.
and finally the Swede, with an induIgent
smile. secured a large plate and heaped il
full with big piece of steak, generous lot
or mashed potatoes and some bread which
he brought to her with the remark in brok-
en- English to the effect that the
Raleigh sailor boys would not see
beautiful American girl go hungry
The young woman was very much en-
barrassed at this Interpretation of her
request, but she ate a portion of the
dinner, and after securing the bread as a
souvenir, rewarded the sailor in turn with
a college pin, which delighted the generous
Swede beyond measure

Mules Fed on MoIasses,

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The largest sugar planter in Texas is J.
W. Cunningham, whose plantation and re-
hnery are located al Sugarland. The crop
is cultivated and harvested by conviets who
are leased from the state. Several hundred
mules are employed on the plantation and
Mr.. Cunningham introduced a new food for
them few years ago. This food is pure
black molasses, and the animals are fed
nothing else throughout the year. Large
troughs have been built In the stables, into
which the molasses is conducted direct
from the refinery through pipes The mules
nave great fondness for the molasses and
they are kept in prime condition all the
time. The molasses fed to these work ami
mails Is of coarse quality and would COM
mand only a low price in the market. II is
much cheaper than corn or oats.

Snake chnrmers.
From the Westminster Review.

riViu the W westminster review.
1t is generally supposed that the serpents
exhibited by snake charmars have been de-
prived of their fangs, and this is doubtless
often the case, while one instance at least
is recorded In which.the mouth of the snake
mas been sewn together to prevent 1t from
biting. The writer noticed at the CeyIon
exhibition, given some years ago in Lon
don, that one of the snake charrners, find
ing the cobra he was exhibiting becoming
too lively and aggressive, seized the reptile
oy the neck and thrust 1t hastily into the
small round basket in which 1t was carried
at the same time pushing II with a volumtn-
Gus white cloth. at which 1t bit savagely.
Having almost closed the lid of the basket.
the man drew away the cloth violently
thus doubtless dragging out the fangs which
We're fastened in 1T. He then secured the
basket and carried 1t away This, of course,
required large amount of cool courage as
we'll as great quickness of hand and eye,
all of which qualities mus be doubly neces-
sary in capturing and tanning these deadly
reptiles. But If we are astonished at the
skill and dexterity displayed by. Indian
snake charmers, still more must We marvel
at the hardihood Of the American Indians
who. in their snake dances, not only handle
the deadly rattlesnake with impunity, but
absolutely carry 1t about in their mouths.

EARL OF STAMFORD KILLED.
Fell in a Fit in Front of London Ex-
press Train.

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
The Earl of STAFFORD. who married Mrs
Samuel J. Colgate in Grace Church, New
York city, last December. was instantly
killed this evening at Potters Bar by the
Cambridge express.
The earl was seen standing upon the
platform, awaiting a train from London.
When the express approached at high
rate of speed he suddenly fell forward
upon the rails. The body. decapitated and
mangled. was taken to the nearest hotel,
where it awaits the coroners inquest.
LORD StraffOrd left London this morning
for his country seat, Wretham Park, Bar
net, Herts. He was then apparently in
good health.
The Countess of STAFFORD left this even
ing for Potters Bar, having given instruc-
lions that her daughter should not be in
formed of the cause of her absence
While on duty at Windsor Castle last
February as an equerry to the queen the
earl was seized with a fit, and his condi
ton has ever since been a source of anX-
lety. He was in his sixty-eighth year.
Henry William John Byng, fourth Earl
of STAFFORD was born August 81, 1891. He
was educated at Elton, and was at time
captain and lieutenant colonel in the Cold
stream Guards from which regiment he re-
tined in 1863. From 1910 to 1S47 he was
page of honor to the queen; from 1872 to
1914 he was groom in waiting, and since
the latter year he had been an equerry.
He succeeded to the title and family
estates on the death Of his brother last
year. In 1863 he married Countess Hen
rietta Daneskield .Samsoe who died in 1880.
leaving two daughters, COmtesse de Mauny
Taivando and the Countess of Normanton.
On Dece 8 last he was quietly mar
rled to Mrs Samuel j. Colgate, widow of
the noted manufactuTer and philanthropist,
