The colored American., 1900-09-29

IN Columbus, O., gave out a state
ment some years ago to the effect that
Hon. H. C. Smith Of the Cleveland Ga
zette had in a public speech referred
TO the flag Of his country as "dirty
rag" that gentleman stood on his head
and tried to spit backward, and in his
lucid intervals hurled several kinds Of
adiectives at his enemies and made
noise enough with his pen and mouth
for 16 men of his size.
Ordinarily a little thing like that
would have been passed by in silence,
but 1t so happened that Mr.. Smith was
a candidate for Office, and If he did
not succeed in giving the lie to his &C
rusers and in proving that he is an ar
dent lover of Old Glory it was not his
fault. Nobody with an ounce Of brains
paid any attention to the charge; no
body cared a rap whether he had abus-
ed the flag or praised it, for they well
knew that nothing that Mr.. Smith or
anybody else could say could detract
one iota from it. But Mr.. Smith SEEM
ed to be of opinion that the statement
evidently made in a spirit Of raillery
was an attack on his patriotism, and
he seems to have thrown a fit three
times a day until the day Of his cleo
ton to the legislature Of Ohio. Since
then he has been vindicating himself
in his paper, and roasting every other
fellow who has said anything against
the administration.
What boots it If Mr.. Fortune did
criticise President Mckinley? Is he
not now good administration Repub-
lican? Isn't he doing as much or more
than Mr.. Smith is doing to secure the
reelection of the president? Is Mr..
Fortune a paramount issue In this
campaign? He is not a candidate for
any Office, big or little, but just q
plain, aggressive Republican, with
views which he is not afraid to ex-
press, and he'd be a big fool If he

things occasionally. If Mr.. Smith is
going to set himself up as censor OF
the political morals Of his fellows and
draw the deadly parallel on all Repub-
licans, he'll find lots Of them who
have said things equally as bad as he
has said about the president and the
of ccinn Qnd thafr
excess of zeal, which they are now
willing to forget in the interest OF par
ty harmony. Personal attacks on 1ndi'
vidual Republicans do not show good
Judgment, wisdom or common sense
Who cares what any man said or dlo
ten months or ten years ago? "Wise
men change often, fools never" The
paramount question is, What does he
say or believe NOW? The eternal nov
is worth a thousand yesterdays. Let
Mr.. Smith pull himself together anc
take aim at the common enemy-the
Democratic party. There is nothing t.
be gained in fighting Republicans.
The Hon. John B. Stanchfeld, the
Democratic nominee for governor Of
New York, is SYSTEMATICALLY licked

FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER.

Last Friday evening Elmer Banner
was found guilty Of murder in the .first
degree by Dauphin county court. He
shot Isaac Miller his brother-in-law
dead at Halifax, Dauphin county last
January. Jealousy was the cause of
the murder. Barner is q Juniata coun-
ty man, having been born and raised
In Susquehanna township. Miller was
Lancaster county man by birth.
Barner became jealous of his wife be-
fore they moved to South Dakota.
When he came east last spring he ex-
pressed the purpose of shooting Miller,
who lived at Halifax, Dauphin county,
and the day before he visited the home
OF his br0ther-in-law ne bought a revol-
yer from D. NJ. Richenbach at Millers-
town, Perry county. He went to Mil
ler's house and accused Miller with be-
ing too intimate with Mrs. Barner. He
said that when Miller visited their
place enough chlorofOrm was put into
his coffee to stupefy him and then the
two wOnld play him falsely. He also
accused his wife with being too intim-
ate with preacher and others and af-
ter making such accusations he drew
his revolver and sent a bullet into Mil
ler's head. The murderer was arrested
and imprisoned in Jail at Harrisburg.
HIS lawyers put in the plea of heredi-
tary emotional insanity. They tried to
prove that his mother and grand-fath-
er and grandmother on his mothers
side were mentally deranged. The jury
however considered hlm responsible for
his acts and found him guilty Of muir
der in the first degree, and in time he
will be hung for the murder of his
brOther-in-law. Before taking q vote
the jury sang hymn and one of their
number offered prayer. Then they
took a vote for conviction Of murder in
the first degree and after that second
hymn was sung and prayer in Ger
man was offered So they had a good
time in voting the fiend out of the
world for his crimes.

How Hard Bee. Work.

Darwin after close observation found
that bee would often visit as many
as q flowers in the course of minute,
though with other plants in which the
honey was difficult to extract the aver
age would be as low as seven. Strik-
ing mean between these two figures,
one may say that an ordinary working
bee visits Is flowers a minute, or 900
an hour. Considering the late hours to
which a bee works, 1t is probably no
exaggeration to say that it is busy for
eight hours a day. allowing for inter-
vals of rest. This would make 1t visit
1900 flowers a day. or 64S.O00 in pc
riod of six months.
Mr.. A. s. Wilson in a recent paper
showed the enormous amount of labor
gone through by bees in making even
small quantity Of honey. He found
that approximately 125 heads of red
clover yield 10 grains of sugar, or 1885,
600 heads about two pounds. AS each
head contains some 60 forets. 1t fol-
lows that 100000 distinct flower
tubes must be sucked in order to OBJ
tain two pounds of sugar Now honey
contains. roughly speaking. 70 per cent
of sugar; therefore the bees must make.
in round numbers, 2.5O0,0O0 visits for
one pound Of honey.

MOUNTED MAIL COLLECTOR Ar WORK

provements in the mail boxes and mail
pouches, proposed methods of picking
up and delivering mail from flying
railroad trains, etc. Andrew L. Henry
of Ladoga, Ind, has hit upon a star
tlingly novel arrangement in this al
ready overworked field, but, like many
of such inventions, it is probably i'm
practical. 1t is system of receiving
and delivering mail for use in towns in
conjunction with horse and wagon col
lections and is designed to enable the
postman to make his rounds accom-
plished by attaching the mail boxes to
their supports with a yielding fasten-
ing of some kind, such as a chain and
weight. The box is shown in the illus
tration attached to post by means of
chains and is provided with a counter
weight and a handle for greater con-
venience. The postman, it is supposed,
drives up, reaches out his hand, grasps
the handle and lifts the mail box into
the wagon, where its contents are re-
moved. 1t is then locked and gently
lowered into its original position on the
post.

The Life of Timber

Oak piling in salt water sometimes
lasts no longer than nine years, but it
has been known to survive 40 years.
In fresh water its life ranges from 8 to
80 years, with al average of 20; in
dry land oak lasts from to 20 years.
with an average of IL years. Cedar
is good for 20 and chestnut from IL to
40 years. One may ask why it is there
is such a difference. One answer is
the mineral ingredients of the soil af-
feet the timber. In bridge timbers
which are kept free from dirt accu-
mutations oak has been known to last
as long as so years. Yellow pine. if
unprotected, runs all the way from
to 20 years, white pine from s to IS
years, Norway from to 10 years,
spruce from to 10 years, fir from 10
to 20 years. Vertical timbers are found
to last nearly twice as long as horizon
tai timbers.

sothern's Recitation.

Sir Edward Russell knew E. A. Soth-
ern, the actor. intimately and In his
book, ''That Reminds Me-" tells many
stories of him
He was dining at Portsmouth or
somewhere at regimental mess to
which the officers had asked him with
every show of the highest admiration
and with no appearance of social su-
periority. After dinner, as the party
sat at wine, one of the officers asked
Sothern to give them a recitation. Now.
Sothern abominated that kind of thing.
He wouldn't tolerate being treated
MS an entertainer when he was by way
Of being treated as gentleman. He
coldly declined. They pressed him.
He hotly declined. Still they pressed
him. He expressed his feelings. Per
haps the officers were little affected
by wine. At all events they persist
ed. They would take no denial.
At last he said in a manner which
showed that he was nettled, but yet
yielding: "Well, If you won't let me
off l must. I'll give you the dinner
scene from David Garrick'"
He did. He had never acted it bet
ter. They were delighted until, spring
ing to his feet he made his wild, tipsy
exit, just as he did on the stage, and
dragged the cloth off the table and
with 1t all the regiments priced des-
sert china and decanters and glasses,
etc. Great was the smash. The actor
did not wait to be applauded or to i'm
prove the occasion. The lesson was, in
deed, a rough one, and probably only
man with some roughness in his dar-
ing humor would have given it. but it
was quite deserved.

Question Is Unanswered.

certain grocer on the hill has for
some days been looking for the owner
of voice that claimed his attention at
the telephone one busy morning. When
he finds the man. the meeting will fur
nish material for an interesting item,
and the following dialogue explains it.

The voice-Hello, therel Is that you.
Charles?
Groceries.
The Voice-Have you any salt fish?
Groceries.
The Voice-Is 1t fresh?
Groceries; came in this morning.

Grocer-Got both. Which do you
want?
The Voice-Well. don't know. Is
the pollock good and dry?
Groceries.
The voice-Well. why don't you give
it drink. then?
At this point the grocer brought the
colloquy to a sudden termination with
a remark that would be out of place in
polite society and therefore unfit for

Mice n. Food In China.

The first thing which strikes the
traveller In China upon his entrance in
to any of the many cities of the CeIes-
tial empire is the strings of dried mice
which hang from the roofs of the
houses suspended by their tails. just as
sausages are hung in front of butcher
shops in France.
The Chinese hunt these mice with a
long, sharp pointed knife, which they
plunge into the animals throats. Then
the mice are suspended by the tails un-
til the blood has dripped out, when
they are skinned, drawn and smoked.
Another favorite dish with the Chi
nese is dogs feet. The feet of black
dogs are considered more of a delicacy
than those of any other color. and
white dogs are rejected as being taste
less. Dogs fat. prepared in a special
manner, Is looked upon as a repast fit
for a king
