Chicago, June PA number of bust

and formed the Illinois Society For the
Prevention of Consumption. Mayor
Harrison presided at the meeting.
The object of the association is the
eradication, so far as possible, of the
bacilli of consumption from animals
used for human food and from the sur
roundings of beef and dairy cattle. Fig
ures were submitted showing the
rapid increase of consumption, but 1t

that scientific and practical work Will
eventually check the spread of the dis

Also to urge that the commission be
empowered to apply the tuberculin test
to all cattle in the state and against
the wishes of the owners of cattle, If
necessary, and that all cattle not prov

state at the scale of prices fixed by
the livestock commissioners.
The legislature was also urged to de-
wise an efficacious plan for the preven-

Good Results Are Looked For From

The Hague, June 21.-The best in

gloomy views of the European press
regarding the peace conference After
a weeks adjournment, the arbitration
committee met for a short time TODAY.
DR.. Zorn OF the German delegation, and
Frederick Hollis Of the American dele

himself as satisfied with the results Of
the trip he took TO Berlin in company
with DR.. Zorn, and the German dele

brisk work. pending the final decision
of Germany.
The disarmament committee. to
whom was submitted the circular of
Count Muravieff, has considered the
second, third and fourth paragraphs in
subcommittee, the result being a neg
alive vote upon all three, on the ground
that it would be impossible to decide
upon satisfactory plan for checking
the continued Improvements in eVplo-
sive ordnance. This decision will be
submitted TO the committee tomorrow.
The first paragraph Of the circular,
which proposes to arrest the increase
IN land and sea forces and war budgets,
has not yet been touched.
The Russians, ii is said, intend to in

THE TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS.
Good Results Are Expected From the
Berlin Conference.

Washington, June 21.-Professor F. A.
Schweinitz, who attended the Interna-
tional tuberculosis congress at Berlin
as a delegate from the United States.
reports briefly to the state department
that the special object for which the
congress was called, namely, arousing
interest in the erection of a sanitarium
for the poor, especially for the working
classes, Will be greatly advanced. Ac-
cording to the present German laws,
each laborer and each employer of Ia
borers is required ito pay a very small
tax, which is utilized in taking care
of the tuberculosis poor. Professor
Schweinitz thinks that many pracu-
cal results will follow the work of this
congress.
DIR. Boyd of the United States navy
was the other delegate from the Unit
ed States, and a most interesting report
is expected from him. The official del
egates from the United States were
very cordially received and entertained.
The Duke of Batibor. president Of
the congress, expressed himself as well
pleased by reason of the interest taken
in the congress by the president of the
United States, as indicated by a kindly
message to the congress by the presi-'
dent, and by the sending of two distin-
guished delegates.

Captain McQuesten made a close
study of the conditions OF the Philip
pine situation. He is of the opinion
that il will take from 1G0,0 600 to 100000
soldiers to properly subdue and hold
the islands. He also says that the
peace commission was an absolute fail
ure and that its work from the start
was without effect. He strongly sup
ports the military government of the
ISLANDS. except that he thinks more
men win be necessary than has been
estimated. DR.. Schurman knows that

Qugsten.

our soldiers and officers have ac-

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE.
Its Happy Vagaries Enable 1t to Suit
Every Human Condition.

The climatic conditions of California,
when closely considered, upset com
pletely all ones preconceiVed notions
of the relation between latitude and
temperature The latitude of San
Diego, the southern city of the state, is
about that of Charleston, 5. c.. while
Los Angeles lies a little farther south
than Memphis Tenn. The northern
line of California is on the same par
allel with Boston, Mass
From these facts one is apt to con-
clude that although southern California
may have sub-tropical climate
adapted to the growth of citrus fruits,
vet the northern part of the state
must have the rigorous winters OF the
North Atlantic states, or or Iowa or
Nebraska on the upper Mississippi.
This is, however, very far from being
the case.
Four hundred miles north of Los
Angeles and five hundred north OF san
Diego the summers are warmer and
tho winters but little more severe than
i'm the cities named. All along the
coast the climate is cool during the
summer. with considerable low fog
near the ocean. which. during the day,
floats UP TO the SUBMITS of the coast
range This gives an abundance OF
moisture and an equable temperature.
During winter this belt is almost
the extreme south. from twenty-five TO
fifty inches annually.
The valley belt. extending 600 miles
naraIlel TO the coast, is quite warm
through the summer. with scarcely any
rain from May to October. In winter
it is colder than on the coast, with
much rain.
In many of the northern valleys the
naIm. fig and olive find congenial
home. while the orange and lemon
reach perfection ripening from four to
six weeks carrier than in the more
southern countries
The tourist who is in search OF
either health or pleasure can in Cali
fornia select his climate at any period
of the year. A winter at Monterey,
with a summer on the Sierras. will Sc
cure a most delightful and healthy Gil
mate during the entire year.
By carefully selecting the location,
one can find plenty of land adapted TO
any kind of agricultural or horticul-
tural pursuit, where, with industry
and economy, he can build up COM
Portable self-sustaining home.

tractively illustrated. describing its re-
sources, famous results and numerous
wonders: also maps and folders. show

LYNCHINGS AS VIEWED
BY A f1ISSlSSlPPIAN

saw mill. and the colored element Is
always in the majority at all the large
saw mills of the south.
1.-THE mill had closed down early, as
it was Saturday night. and large
crowd of both white and black were
gathered around the store. The sheriff
OF the county happened to be in the
crowd. He was little fellow by the
name of Floyd. but he had the repUta-
ton of being the strongest man in the
county.
About 8 o'clock we were startled by
scream emanating from the super
intendent's house. Nearly all the
white men ran to it and learned that
a negro had attempted to enter the
bed room of the superintendent
daughter just as she had started to
retire.
''On seeing him at the window, she
fled from the room screaming. She
charged certain negro with being the
guilty one, fellow who had always
borne a good reputation. but that made
no difference with the mob. The whites
were incenSed only as a southern mob
can be, and, led by the sheriff, they
turned in pursuit of the alleged cul-
prit and found him in the store, appar-
emily making no attempt to escape. He
was Immediately seized by the sheriff
and others. and when told why he was
cence in the most pitifu manner.
After they had reached the river the
sheriff halted the mob and began to
address il, calling attention to the fact
that the young lady might have been
mistaken in the negro. as it was nearly
dark.
1T was clear that the mob didn't
propose 10 be stopped in its purpose.
and prepared to string the negro. Well,
that sheriff took that negro down to
the river, and they both got in a boat,
amid a volley of bullets and imprecau-
tions. and crossed over. Then the
sheriff let the negro go and told him
to get out of il as quick as he could.
after which he deliberately rOwed back
TO the mob.
Now. gentlemen said he If you
have anything to do. do it The mob
was as mad as tormented hornets, but
it couldn't go SO far as to shoot him
down. SO they decided to whip him.
You fellows are a brave set sneered
the sheriff. Come one at time and
I'll take the crowd Well, sir il that
little man didn't fight that crowd of at
least twenty all that night and he
whipped every one of them, too"
