Youthful Embezzler.

San Francisco, Oct. 14.-Bert Waite,
IS years old, who was arrested at Up
per Lake on Wednesday, charged with
forgery by the president of the First
National Bank of Berkeley, has con-
fessed to having robbed the United
States Express Co., at Revenna, Ohio.
Early in August last, Waite, who
was acting as agent of the express
company at ReVenna, absconded with
over $4,000 in money and bank notes.
Three days before his departure he
withheld from delivery every package
of value that came through his office.
When he thought he had enough he
took the train for the west and has
since been the prey of sharpers.

The annual reunion of the Grand
Army of the Republic is always an i'm
pressive occasion, and the warmth of
the welcome which greets the line of
bent figures and whitening heads is
proof of the place these men hold in the
heart of the nation. 1t is all the more
pity, then, that their wishes in regard
to Memorial day are not more general
ly needed. At the recent reunion in
Chicago, the veterans felt obliged to
call attention again to the neglect and
abuse Of the day on the part of the pub
lie, and even to suggest the changing
of the date from May 80 to the last
Sunday in May. 1t was the Grand
Army which created Memorial day,
and its members have always observed
the occasion with dignity and respect.
They cannot be blamed, therefore, if
they object to seing it made season

Proposed Highway for Bicy cles.

A perfect highway from New York
to San Francisco, in as near straight
line as it is possible to make it, with a
width OF 120 feet, for the use of auto
mobiles and bicycles, as well as for the
use Of the farmer, is thing that the
Automobile club of America will try
to bring about. The subject was seri-
ously discussed at a banquet, in honor
OF members OF the National Highway
Commission, at the Waldorf-Astoria,
in New York, when plans were made
and the route announced. Besides a
direct path from New York TO San
Francisco, passing through Chicago,
st. Louis. Kansas City Omaha and

along each coast. Congress will be
asked to appropriate one-third of the
expense, and the states. counties,
townships and cities en- route will be
asked to pay the rest; the owners Of
property benefited to donate the right
Of-way. The club and highway COM
mission have on their list of mem
6ership the names OF some Of the

TRANSMITTING A RACE.

I'd ~ IL %n Here. IS"

Negroes who came to North America
had to undergo as complete transi-
ton as ever fell to the lot of man,
without the least chance to undergo
an acclimatizing process. They were
brought from the hottest part of the
earth to the .Sgion where the win
ter's cold is of almost Arctic severity
from an exceedingly humid to dry
air. They came to service under alien
taskmasters, strange to them in speech
and in purpose. They had to betake
themselves to unaccustomed food and
to clothing such as they had never
worn before, writes Prof. Shaier in
Appleton's Popular Science Monthly
Rarely could one OF them find about
him familiar face of a friend, parent
or child, or an object that recalled his
past life to him. 1t was an appalling
change. Only those who know how
the negro cleaves to the familiar
things OF life, how fond he is OF
warmth and friendliness, can conceive
the physical and mental shock that
this introduction to new conditions
meant to them. To people Of our own
race it could have meant death. But
these wonderful folk appear to have
4withstood the trials OF their deporta-
uon in marvellous way. II we COM
pare the Algonquin Indian, in appear
ance sturdy fellow, with these ne
groes, we see Of what stuff the blacks
are made. A touch OF homework and
of honest toll took the breath OF the
aborigines away, but these tropical ex
otics fell to their tasks and trials far
better than the men OF our oyn kind
have done.
