position is wrong.
Even admitting that promise WAS
made (which we do not) it is now too
early for the effects of the amendment 10
be felt. The amendment does not go mo
effect until 1902. The negroes still nave

the negro question would be to ignore the
principle for which the Democratic party
stands pledged in the amendment, ana 10

And then the negro question can never
be dropped until it is settled and thor

Until it is removed or disappears as .

eliminating the negro in political discus

The amendment will purify politics tc
great extent. But the evils at which the
amendment strikes must all be removed
they cannot be explained away by SEN

slBLE wIrnRoMANTIc HISTORY
It Was Found on tue Plains and Used
 on Many Cerem oniaI oeeaaions.

on Many Ceremonial Occasions.
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration in this city of the fftieth anniversary of the state of California has history that Is very interesting. In 1919 a young man in coming across the plains found a pile of books by the side of the road with I stick stuck among them bearing a note telling travellers to help themselves. The young mas in searching through the old volumes found a handsome Bible, which he con- sidered q shame to be left upon the dfeary desert He placed it ia his pack and carried it to Sacramento. He presented it t0 pr. k. F. Mcdonald who at that time conducted 8 drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento meeting was called in that city for the purpose Of founding lodge of Masons That was on Jan. 8, 1850, and the lodge was to be known as Connecticut Lodge, No. 75. It chaneee that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDons aid. When it was convened 1t was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masons was formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies. After the form ation of the grand lodge the name os Connecticut lodge was changed to Te- hama lodge, No. 3. but s~er since it's establishment on Jan 8, 1850, the Bi ble has remained in the possession Of the lodge. R. o. Craven, 8 prominent officer of the lodge. has been appointed 70 represent the lodge here during the jubilee exercises and serves as the GUS i todian of the prized old book during sts visit to this city.-San Jose fCal) Mercury.

 4 strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island, off New Zealand. It is 50 acres in extent. about 12 feet in depth and 15 feet above the level of the sea. The most remarkable char aeteristiS of this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro chloric and sulphuric acids, hissing and bubbling at a temperature of 11o degrees Fahrenheit The dark green. colored water looks particularly unin- viting. Dense clouds of sulphurie fumes constantly roll off this boiling ealdron, and care has to be exercised in ap, preaching this lake to avoid the risk Of suffocation. On the opposite siue of the lake may be seen the tremendous blow-hoies. which. when in full blast. present an awe-inspiring sight. The roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth Into the air is deafening, and often huge powders and stones are hurled out to height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of na. lure. A boat can be launched on the lake, and, if proper care be observed the very edges of the blow-holes may be safely explored. Some idea of the strength of the aeid-saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that boat almost dropped tc pieces after all the passengers had beer landed, as the rivets had eorroded uns der the influence of the acids.

Coming from the home of biting east winds and a winter climate, the at nosphere of San Antonio is a yeritable paradise. The city is located in south western Texas, is about 600 feet above the sea level; and is delightfully."- situ- ated, with a range of hills extending completely around the town. The weather is delieioass-never too cold in winter, and, during the summer while it is hot enough in the day time. the evenings are always cool. According to signal service reports taken during a series Of years, the average number of days in the year during any portion Of which the thermometer falls to the freezing point is IA It is rare thins to have frost before November or later than April.

HOUSE GOWN OF RESEDA GREEN
CASHMERE.

CODA style With the bell sleeves there
are all sorts and conditions of under
sleeves, either fun and puffy or close
fitting, and long or short, according
to the style of the gown, prevail to a
great extent. The latter are simply
small editions of the former. and in
either case the becoming effect should
be very seriously considered
Many Of the new cloth gowns have
sleeves that show but the suggestion
of an undersieeve-on only little puff
while in the gowns of lighter mate
rials the undersleeves compose half
the length of the sleeve. These are,
as a rule. finished with a frill of lace
over the hand
As to the size of the fall and winter
sleeves some say they are to be larger,
though such a change can hardly be
said to be shown in the models that
are displayed or the new gowns that
have been turned out for fashionable
customers
There is, however, a noticeable
change in the size of the sleeves of
coats and jackets, and these are some
little larger. But even here the tight
/ fitting sleeve has not vet gone out,
or even given first place to the new

shining moment these ideal days of
autumn.
There is as great difference in the
games played by the youthful sons
of the city as there is in the classes
of people. The small boy who lives
out on the West side in the neighbor-
hood of the National league park con-
siders baseball of prime Importance.
He is an enthusiastic fan" at the
league games when so fortunate as
to capture a ball that has gone astray
over the fence and is admitted through
the gate for it's return.
If he cannot get inside the fence
he starts an opposition game on the
vacant block of ground just outside,
where he claims to play better ball
than is to be seen from the bleach
ers," and certainly attracts quite as
much, if not more, of an audience.
To the boy living in the vicinity of
the National league park nothing
matters much but baseball. He gives
better attention to his mine" than he
does to his school, and so long as he
wins the neighborhood "pennant" he
cares but little how many lessons he
misses or what his percentage at
school may be.
It is from these enthusiastic youths
that the enthusiastic baseball fans
grow, and the vacant lot contests
send many a man to swell the gate
receipts at the ball park.
What would the enthusiasm OF these
youthful admirers of the national
game be if Chicago should happen to
win a pennant some year? But that
is talking of impossibilities.

DOME new ideas in sleeves are being

because of the choice in selection
they afford. 1t is not every woman
who appreciates the bell-shaped sleeve,

man living within the municipal linn
its, and every visitor was forced to
climb its numberless steps to view
the city and lake from its top.
But no one goes there now; no one
climbs its steps or views the city from
its top; no one even talks of it, and
fortunate, indeed, is the visitor who
hears that Chicago has a water tower.
Even the would-be suicides have aban-
doned it as means of Kidding them
selves of life. This class of the popT0
lation have long since found that the
high bridge across the lagoon in Lin
coin park was much better adapted
to their needs, and have given the
stately old tower the 'go-by."
Yet the old tower is just as high as
it ever was, and age has but improved
its picturesqueness Now the brick
scarcely show through the vines that
cling to its ancient walls, and the lit
tie windows that encircle it are al
most hidden by the vines.
The trouble is the tower has not
kept pace with the growth of the
city. 1t does not satisfy the Chica-
goans love for bigness and highness
as it once did. While once the pride
of the city because of its height, it
to-day looks like pigmy beside the
many tall buildings all over the city.
To-day the children who play in the
little park around it scarcely stop to
wonder at its height.
