Probably the best fire extinguishing
liquid is aqua ammonia, without any
addition whatever. We have personally
had experience with the almost mar
velous power of this substance in this
direction. In one instance where fire
had originated probably from spon-
taneous combustion. in a pile contain
ing several tons of cotton seed and the
interior of which was almost SOLID
body of live coal. half gallon of am
monia completely smothered the fire.
In another which occurred at Sa-
venay, France, the vapors of tank
containing 30 gallons of gasoline caught
fire in the linen room of laundry. The
room was instantly mass of living
flames, but a gallon and a half of am
monia water thrown into it completely

the fire. The ammonia was in glass

door to the laundry and was thrown

IN TIE LIBRARY.


The fire is dim, the light is low,
And silent IN my easy chair
SIT and dream, and fancies flow
About me in the darkling air.
The walls with books are covered well;
Quite to the ceiling high they rise,
And in the darkness | can tell
Where each beloved volume lies.
But now they seem to live and move
And faces from their bindings stare
And all the authors that 1 love
And their creations fill the air.
They never speak; their eager eyes
Look for companions never found,
As each into the darkness dies
In turn and makes no sound.
And groups float by, but never gaze
Upon each other; all intent
On unknown errand go their ways
Or stand in mute bewilderment
What are ye-real or feigned things?
And will ye live some grander life,
When we who breathe have lost our wings
And fallen. silent, in the strife2
And who are greatest-those who found
A city grand, palace high
Or those who till the spirit ground
OF fancy that can never die
For men may live and do aud dare,
Yet fade away, by all forgot,
But these creations foul and fair.
Live on and perish not.

hundred negro longshoremen, employed
at the Chesapeake and Ohio piers, went
on a strike today. There are about 600
colored men and only ffty-three white
men engaged in the work of loading
and unloading the Chesapeake and
Ohio steamers. Recently the negroes
organized a local union branch Of The
National League of Longshoremen-
The whites refused 10 unite with them,
but applied for a charter for a separate
organization. The colored union pre-
vented them from getting the charter
and gave notice thirty days ago that
they would walk out unless the non
union whites were discharged No
heed was given TO their demand by the
company. The thirty days expired this
morning and the negroes carried their
threat into execution.

the situation in the Samoan islands.
In speaking Of the conditionse Of affairs
In Samoa he said:
As 10 whether peace in the islands
VIII be permanent depends largely up
on the action of the three governments
upon the reports of the commissioners.
such a thing as a permanent and
peaceful government in Samoa is, Of
course, possible, but the natives will
at all times seize upon any indications
OF disagreement between the three gov
ernments, and therefore, no n can
predict with absolute certainty, what
the conditions may be in the future.
My own opinion is that annexation
OF the islands by n of the other treaty
powers is the only solution
L do not say the government will
be only temporary. 1t may be perma-
nent The situation is unique. 1t is
the only case in history of its kind.
It Is the only instance in which our gov
eminent has allied itself with foreign
powers to control a formerly inde-
pendent government.
And as neither appears to be willing
TO give way TO the others, every dip
lonatic e~xpedient will be resorted TO

TIE RACE PROBLEM
A Solution Suggested by a Colored
Preacher Of Winston, ". G..

Baltimore, August S0.-The status
of the colored a C was discussed to-
day at the second annual convention OF
the district foreign missionary society
Of the coEored Baptist churches. The
president, Rev. DR.. w. G. Brown, Of
Winston, n. c., sounded the keynote
in his annual address. From the ex-
pressions Of approval given by the
delegates it becomes evident that he
voiced their sentiments in condemning
u~nlawfulness by negroes as well as un-
lawful punishment of their crimes.
The president said IN part:
The greatest sociological question
before the people Of this country is
what shall be done with the negro.
Three alternatives have been suggest
ed-subjugation. emigration or exter-
mination-but the true solution has
not been Observation-Disclosures.
Put backbone and grace in the pulpits;
put moral power and courage into the
ministry, both white and black; let
them preach fearlessly the gospel Of
peace and universal brotherhood. Let
the people be taught to fear God and
keep His commandments; let all, both
white and black, be trained to respect
the majesty Of the law and this much
vexed race problem will solve itself.
Let us condem all rapists, lynching
and lynchers. Race preachers are a
menace to the religion of Jesus Christ,
and by cunning, ill-advised indoctri-
nation and subtle theories they are
sowing from the pulpits tares in sufti-
cient abundance to choke the matur-
ing grain. Race maniacs may do for
politicians, but they Will not do for
preachers"
