This letter from Mrs. Newman who lie
in Honolulu and was there during the
terrifying and magnificent eruption OF
Mauua Loa presents the most graphic
account yet received Of the eruption.
Mrs. Newman In company with five
newspaper reporters made the ascent
she speaks Of:
This old volcano of Mauna Loa has
been spouting two weeks. Its q journey
of 200 miles by sea, thirtysix by carriage,
nineteen by horse, seven or eight by
foot, over lava crusts.like glass, to awfu
heights. Several men have been injured
none died, but many suffered greatly.
Camped two nights in STOW. Mary
people are going as far as Volcano House
at Hilo Hawaii, where the flow and the
gov can be seen. At Hilo, fifty miles
away from the volcano, we could read at
midnight by the fierce light and no
lights are used IN houses. Fountains of
fire spouting 10000 to 1000 feet in the
air carrying up huge rocks, the smallest
ones big as "horse," and al heated to
white light.
The eea for 1000 miles toward San
Francisco for days was buried in smoke
and for three days captains could not
take bearings by sun or star for there
we're none visible.
Here, 200 miles away, while the south.
erly wind prevailed, the mountain tops,
yea. the valleys and the sea, were only
defined by dimest outline. No sun, no
stars, dense black sulphurous haze. The
lungs were oppressed, and it gave an
effect Of awfulness to everything. We
could scarcely talk above whisper and
an indescribable gloom shut in the
cheariest heart. Fine sulphur dust set.
tied on tree and shrub and fell upon the
flesh az something uncanny. One could
almost believe in hell, whether or not
he was bothered by orthodox scruples.
It was easily credible that the doors of
some internal den had been suddenly
opened and lite seething cauldrop poured
out upon innocent and guilty alike.

SUGARTRUST TRIUMPHANT
CONTROLS so or 90 PER CENT on
THE TRADE


NEW YORK, September "a deal
whereby the wholesale grocers are to
purchase refined sugars exclusively of
the American Sugar Refining Company,
otherwise the sugar trust, has pltC-
tically been concluded. The following
will be printed i'm the Tribunte tomor-
row:
The sugar trust has made a grand
coup i'm the sugar trade. BY its deal
with the wholesale grocers it has abso-
luteiy cornered between so and 80 per
cent of the consumptive demand. 1t has
made 1t so great an object to the whole
sale groCers to secure their supplies of
it that they have no reason to buy from
or treat with the Independent refineries.
In fact, the trust has made it practlc-
ally impossible for the wholesalers to
handle the product of Independents.
The sugar trust has bargained with
the National Association of Wholesale
Grocers in order to have all the whole
sale grOcers in agreement with it. The
wholesale grocers control the retail
grocers.
The position of the independent refln-
ers is now a desperate one The sugar
trust has thrown overheard Molten
hauer and the national concerns with
which it worked in harmony before the
| building of the Arbuckle and Doscher

les. They are in the same boat with
Arbuckle and Doscher.
! There is a proposition to join the in
| dependent concerns in one company
but that would not appreciably improve
their situation. So long as they could
not collectively turn out sugar enough

which the trust is able to do, they would
not be able to offer to the wholesalers
the same advantages as the trust. II
the Arbuckles give up the sugar bust
ness it is fair to presume-and. indeed
| it is understood-that the sugar trust
will be willing to give up the coffee bus
| mess. The Arbuckles made millions in
coffee before they had the competition
of the suar trust. They cannot have
made any money in sugar.

The first slaves in Virginia were brought from the West Indies by a Dutchman in August, 1919, and he trad-
 ed twenty negroes to the colonists for
 servants and laborers in exchange for
 tobacco. About the same time Captain Argal, at the expense of the Earl of
 Warwick, sent a ship called the Treas urer to the West Indies and captured ten negroes who were placed as slaves upon the earl's plantation on Somers is- land. The Chicago Record remarks: The planters who bought the slaves from the Dutchman justified the act on the ground that the negroes were heath en who needed the light of the gospel, and being descended from Ham, were consigned by divine decree to perpetual bondage. In addition to this, they need ed laborers.

 when the winds come from where the snow still lies deep not far to the north
 of us. All through the long winter,
 most of them surviving the two fierce
 blizzards which it brought, the spar rows have hopped and frisked about
 hardy and brave, picking up scanty living and uttering their discordant and jangling chatter, happy if food could be found and defying the wintry blasts and the driving snow falls. The sparrows, homely and defiant, have their uses and will assist the trees to thrive by the war which they wage in- cessantly upon the leaf destroying worms.

Sparrows have an alarm ing fecundity, it is true; they multiply wonderfully, and cultured Boston, one of the cradles of liberty. the home of Faneuil hall and George T.

 and food which is wholesome, selecting that which will continue to give them
 lie and sustenance and ability to battle on in the struggle for existence. More over, appeals came thick and fast to let the sparroWs live and thrive, on the plea that they earn the right to exist by their good service in clearing the trees of worms and saving the noble big shade trees that Boston so delights in. So the Boston sparrows go on their way rejoicing and pick up crumbs of comfort and swallow worms and grubs in all sorts of places as ever, being no respecters of persons or localities, and finding a new joy in the cessation of the crusade against them.

Il ELEAM OF LIGHT,

The remedy for the suppression of
 lynching in the South lies greatly in
 the church and the common schools. 1 The church must teach men that mur- der in whatever form is a crime; must 1 1nculcate a higher respect for law;
 must take firm stand for law and or
 der. Education must be diffused more
 generally in the South. The ignorance
 of the poor whites and the poor negroes
 of that section of the land is intense
 and deplorable. The virulent prejudice
 against the black race in the South still
 exists. The black men of the South are | kept down and kept in ignorance and their power at the ballot box nuHitied. As has been we'll said: "The negro, who is the most frequent offender against jority of cases the victim of his own 1 ignorance He is dangerous only so long as he is kept in intellectual dark
 ness and he grows in usefulness to him. self and the commonwealth in exact proportion to his advance in knowl- edge.' Helpless and with no sympa-
 thetic hand extended by the whites
 around him, the negrb is yet struggling
 to higher educational plane. Here and
 there light appears in the darkness like
 a beacon light to a storm-tossed mar finer or an oasis in the desert. The edu- cational institution founded by Booker
 Washington is an example of this,-a case in point. There arises hope for the black race in the South from such in- stitutions as these. By and by better state of things will arise in the South born of good work done by the churches and increased attention paid to giving the blacks the benefits of the common schools.
 There is little chance that the terrible tragedy at Newman and the other lynch ings that have accompanied it, will bring about any effective action by the powers that be in Georgia. Southern papers, as rule, either excuse the lynchings or condone them on the ground that there was terrible provo cation or else content themselves with condemning the brutalties and fiendish | acts that accompanied them. Southern mobs will go right along with their lynchings when occasion offers, satisfied | that their work will be tolerated and l winked at by their neighbors if not by the authorities. The majesty of the law has no terror for them simply because public sentiment in the South renders the law powerless Shocking as was the crime for which the lynchings in ques- ton were committed, still more shock ing was the defiance of law and the awful crueIties and mutilations resorted to, and great will be the infamy of Georgia if she continues to tolerate such deeds.

DISCOURSE BY CITIZEN TRAIN.
Subject is "Anglomania," Embracing

| Subject is "Anglomania," Embracing Many Odd and Strange Topics. | George Francis Train delivered one of | his characteristic lectures at the Man haitian Liberal club last night to an audience that filled the hall to the
 doors. The subject as announced was
 "Anglomaniacs,, but the speaker did
 not confine himself strictly to it's dis
 cusson. During the course of his re- marks he took occasion to touch brief ly upon the origin of egotism, the
 slaughter of the English language, the
 comparative influence of George Wash
 ington and Thomas Paine, upon expan-
 sion, the secrettof longevity, capital
 punishment, the influence of Anthony
 Comstock upon the life and letters of America, the Paris commune, and the life and achievements of Professor
 Mike" Donovan, Citizen Train was introduced to the audience by Mrs
 Huldha F. Gum, the president of the club. The speaker gave the military salute and drew off his overcoat, dis playing an enormous bunch of lilies of various hues pinned on his coat lapel and brilliant red sash about his waist.
 'I haven't been here in long time, ,' he said, "but see you still have good deal of bad air about the room. Please open window. I'll furnish all the gas you want. That's right Thank you"
 He then drew forth strip of paper several yards in length, on which were ro tnJ o1iy ,of, himself. "Now, the beauty of all this said about me on my seventieth birth- day" continued the speaker, 'ls it's truth. Now, take truth; for instance. The children of this generation are reared on lies, but do you know that the children are generation older than me in the chronology of the world? have a grandchild whose father died. We told him his father had passed over the river of rest under the trees. He asked at once: Over what river? Under what trees? There at Madison Square?' I say we should not lie to children about Santa Claus and the like. When they find us out they will begin deceiving us, and keep it up all their lives. You see, I am attacking your religion, your vices, your gods, and your devil in an effort to keep out of the White House twenty-five years longer. I know I'm a crank and a freak but I've done my best to keep up with what's going on.
