The Story Of Linen.

Centuries before the Christian era the manu-
facture of linens was an extensive domestic
industry. Long before the first book was
written the linen industry had reached its
zenith. Egyptians at that time produced a
linen fabric far exceeding in fineness anything
our present machinery make One piece
of linen cloth that found wrapped about
mummy had $40 side by side threads to an
$50 threads.) From Egypt the industry branch
ed to Greece and Italy, westward to France
and Germany. and finally to England and Ire
land. Whole villages supported by the
industry. Then the spinning frame and the
jenney and the spinning mule were invented
cotton stepped forth, took the place of linen
and crippled industry that had been the
support of nations.
Great factories took the place of the farm
house, and the romance of the weaving and the
costly fabrics and elegant hand made designs
were lost to the rush of advancing civilization.
and to-day have but a spinning wheel here
and there, and the legend of the wonderful
gowns it evolved for great grandparents.

Never Defeat the Mission OF LIB
erty and Humanity.

Plattsburg, n. Y, Aug. I6.-Presi-
dent Mckinley left his hotel yesterday
morning and was driven down to the
auditorium on the grounds Of the Cath
Ole summer school Of America, at Cliff
haven, on Lake Champlain. The read
from the hotel to the summer school
grounds was lined with people anxious
to get glimpse of the president. a.
the president entered the auditorium,
the spectators arose and sang a song
composed for the occasion. Rev. M.
J. Lavelle- president Of the Catholic
summer school, introduced Presi-
dent Mckinley. As President McKin-
ley arose the audience applauded,
cheered, waved flags, handkerchiefs
and ParasOls until he made motion
for them 70 desist- He had not in
tended to speak. But the warmth of
the greeting which was accorded him
evidently caused him to change his
mind. He said:
Whatever the governments OF the United
states has been able TO accomplish since last
met you here has been because the hearts Of the
people have been with the government Of the
United States Our patriotism IS neither sec
uonal nor Sectarian- We may differ in our
political and religious beliefs but we are united

and, wherever it is aSSailed, with any sacrifice
II VIII be carried to triumphant peace
We have more flags here than We ever had
before They are in evidence everywhere I
saw them carried by little ones on your lawns
and as long as they carry their flags in their
little hands there viii be patriotism in their
hearts That flag now floats from the homes Of
the Millions even from our places Of worship;

shops the factories, the mining towns and It

tant outpost and on the lumberman's hut in

can never defeat the blessed mission OF liberty

WILL BE A NEGRO TOWN.
Hudson City, Ala, With 400 People, an
Africans, VIII Have Only Black
Omcers to Run 1t.

Admission, Ala, Aug 16.-By a vote
Of 90 per cent. Of the registered voters,
Hudson City decided yesterday to be
the most unique city IN the United
States, in that it viii be the only ex-
clusively negro town in the country.
Yesterdays election was by order of
the probate court to decide whether or
not the town should be incorporated
Incorporation was carried unanimous
ly, not single vote being cast against
it. The town is located three miles
from Admission and has 400 population,
all negroes, and contains 100 houses,
three churches, a schOOlhOuse, several
stores and no saloon. At yesterdays
election the entire town turned out,
males to vote, females to see that they
voted right and not drop of whisky
or the least disorder was IN evidence
Following the Incorporation viii be
the most unique experiment in town
government ever made In Alabama.

MULES FOR THE ARMY.
Already 500 Have Been shipped to Ma
Mia and More WIN FoIIoW-WIn
Make = Pack TraIn.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The problem
Of transportation In the Philippines
has been under consideration by the
war department for some time It is
expected that at the end Of the rainy
season it VIII be necessary to move the
troops some distance from the railroad
and at the present time the means Of
transportation are not sufficient for a
large army and extensive operations
The difficulty has been met by send
ing mules to Manila In large num-
bers- The quartermaster's depart
ment has already shipped about 600
Of these animals and viii send 600
more very soon. There are nearly 2, 900
more owned by the department, which
viii be sent If needed These animals
viii not only be used for Transporting
supplies IN wagons, but It is intended
to organize pack train for carrying
guns and equipments where teams can
not be utilized. The indications are
that the campaign after the rainy sea
son Is to be conducted not only along
the railroad, where Gen Otis has con-
fined most Of his operations, but that
the interior Of LuzOn viii be pene-
trated.

LABORI IS BETTER.
His Physicians Now Hope for His Speedy

Martial Until Monday.

Rennes, Aug. 16.-At eight O'Clock
last evening NJ. Labor was removed in
an ambulance to the residence Of Prof
Bash, In a suburb of Rennes- He stood
the journey well, although naturally
fatigued. The doctors are extremely
hopeful Of a speedy recovery, but con-
slider it would be unwise for him to re-

no danger Of relapse.
The proceedings Of the Dreyfus court

morning. Owing to the opposition Of

OVER SEVEN MILLIONS.
The Financial Loss Caused by the Recent
Floods In Texas Is Awful to
ContemnIate.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Mr. z. S.
Holmes, Jr., an expert Of the statistical
bureau Of the department. of agricul-
ture, has Just completed a report to
Chief Statistician Hyde, Of that depart
ment, embodying the results Of a tour
OF the food devastated region Of Texas
and making a careful estimate Of the
damage done, the aggregate Of which
he places at 81, IA, 900. Although near
" 90 per cent Of the total loss occurred
IN the destruction of or injury to grow
ing crops, the damage to farm property
and the losses Of live stock, etc,
amount to the large sum Of Ss44, 900.
The land itself is damaged by washing
and gulleying to the extent Of over
$500, 600, but Of this loss about One-half
is estimated as Offset BY the increased
future prOductiveness resulting from
the alluvisl deposit left by the food.

Bryan spoke for two hours at the Au-
ditOrium last night 10 an audience of
$500 people. The house was crowded
and the audience, which included prac-
tically all the delegates to the demo
cratic convention, took every OppOrtu-
nifty to applaud. Mr.. Bryan closed his
speech by a lengthy discussion on i'm
perialism, saying, among other things:
This government ought to make declaration
OF good Intentions toward the Philippines as il
did toward Cuba The president ought to have
done 50. or, II he did not have the power, should
have asked congress to do it. Now he might
call a special session TO ask for the power

Sherman act and Mckinley called one A
special session now would cost much money. but
not nearly so much as the continuance Of the
war.
