SILVER STILL CLIMBS.
Dumping of Large Amounts
Doesn't Stop the Movement.

New York. April 27.-Silver certif-
icates representing 10000 ounces sold on
the stock exchange today from 63A to
64A cents. The price of commercial bar
silver was 63Ac. The last time "a cts.
was reached for silver was in August,
1897. Bullion dealers call the advance
in the certificates speculative, pointing
out that no increase in commercial de-
mand has appeared from any quarter
and that China sold on yesterdays ad-
vance.
While a difference of opinion exists as
to whether the movement is being en-
gineered here or from the other side of
the water it is conceded that it must be
by powerful interests as they are obliged
to take large amounts. Before the re-
cent movement silver certificates were
for months without a transaction, the
quotation being nominal.

RACE QUESTION
A Disturbing Element at the Inter
national s. S. Convention.

Atlanta, Ga. April 27.-The race ques-
ton was a disturbing feature of to-
day school convention. 1t made it's ap-
pearance in two ways-in the endeaVoF
of Georgia and South Carolina negroes
to place colored men on the committee
on nominations with the whites and by
reason of the fact that the convention
in permitting negro delegates to be
seated with the whites is violating not
only city. ordinance but state law
which requires that the whites and
blacks be separated in all public gather
ings.
The police called the attention of Col
Asa G. Gambler, chairman of the enter
tainment committee, to the matter, but
after a discussion, it was decided to
let the delegates sit as they wished.

State Supt. Lewis.

The The Ariel, the official paper of the

John Hamilton Lewis was born at
Holly Springs, MISS, in 1852. In 1864
his family moved from Clarendon, Ark,
to Minnesota and settled on farm in
Wright county. Mr. Lewis father was
superintendent Of Schools IN this county

The Boy and His Trade.
He Should Begin His Apprenticeship so IS to
be Through When Twenty.One.

"Seventeen is the preferable age fo1
going to trade, but IN many cases six
teen is not too young, nor eighteen toe
old" writes Barton Cheney in the Feb.
ruary Ladies Home Journal. "But, all
conditions being favorable, it is we'll TO,
boy to arrange his apprenticeship SC
that he can finish his trade by the time
he is twenty -one. One of the advantag.
es of going toa trade early is that it al.
lows the lad time to make change
should he discover that he has made 8
mistake in choosing his vocation, and
there is no infallible method or rule that
can be followed in order that such mis-.
takes can be avoided. But the best course
to pursue is for the lad to fully acquaint
himself with the details of the trades to
which he may incline before he makes o
selection. This can be easily done at
the expense only of a little observation
and inquiry. Then the matter of natur-
al aptitude can be considered and 1t is
a most important factor-so that the
lad can avoid going into anything fol
which he has no special fitness. It is as.
serted that every one is adapted for some
thing better than anything else, and the
boy should strive to discover what that
one thing is. It would be a great mis-.
take for lad without natural bent fol
mechanics to attempt to learn the ma
chinist's trade, and the chances would bt

Fast Mail to Seattle.

The widespread public interest in tn,
contest for the fast mail contract betwee,
Chicago and Omaha has caused one tc
temporarily overlook the similar achieve.
mont of the Great Northern railway il
establishing quick mail communication
from New York, via Chicago and st
Paul to the Puget Sound country is now
quite as remarkable as that via Omaha
and San Francisco. On January 8 the
Great Northern placed in service a fast
through mail and passenger train from
Chicago to Seattle, on which the mail
pouches never once leave the car after
the transfer at st. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time
by this Northern route is just four days.
East of st. Paul the mails are carried on
several roads, but west of that city-on
run exceeding the eastern portion by
500 miles-.the mail goes through with
out change across five great states on the
tracks of the Great Northern. Folty.
five minutes are consumed in transfer
ring the mails in Chicago and thirty
minutes in st. Paul. After that the
Northern Oriental flyers does the rest
without pause until the Aslatic mails
60 on board the Japan Mail Steanshi D
Company. Both the Importance of
Seattle as an Oriental shipping point
and the speed of the Great Northern
transcontineptal mail service make the
achievements a noteworthy feature of
American railway progress. -.
The Puget Sound cities have already
become formidable rivals of San Fran
cisco as regards the freight and passen-
ger traffic for Japan, China and Asiatic
ports. The steamer route from Seattle
to the Orient seems to be more free from
storms than that from San. Francisco,
and as large proportion of the Orien-
tai exports are products Of the North
west the freight traffic has naturally tax
en- this course. The fact that the full
capacity of the Japan Mail Steamship
Company's boats is engaged es far ahead
as next August, is in itself striking
proof Of the growing Importance of the
Oriental trade that has it's outlet at
Seattle.
For these and other reasons the fast
mail to the Pacific coast, for which the
Great Northern holds the government
contract, is fully as important as that
which daily rushes across the plains and
mountains to San Francisco. The Great
Northern has been as much alive to the
keen rivalry for speed and honors as
have the Northwestern, Rock Island and
Burlington, and it is but fair that
achievements of its fast daily transcon-
tinental mail should he included in the
new chapter of railway advancement now
being written by the western railroads.
