Miss Conway Discusses
 "To Have and To Hold"

In New York on a recent occasion at the Waldorf-Astoria, Miss Clara Conway of Memphis gave an illustrated lecture up- on Mary Johnston and her story, "To Have and To Hold" Both the lecturer and the subject combined to make the event a notable one. Miss Johnston is still in New York and she and Miss Conway have seen each other quite frequently. Miss Con- way is making her home there, her school in Memphis being now conducted by Do- mincan nuns, into whose hands it passed last autumn. Miss Conway's decision to give up teaching in the south caused un- usual regret She was so widely known as the principal of her famous school for girls, and her name has long been iden- tifed with the movement of higher educa- tion for young women. Conspicuous as an educator, she has combined with this fac ulty certain charm and fascination pos sessed by few women. These qualities make her eminetly fitted for the life that she is taking up in New York-that of lec- turing. As an educational leader she has frequently been invited to address large public gatherings and those who have heard her in the south will fully appreciate her success in New York.
 Miss Conways subject for her recent lecture at the Waldorf and her method of discussing 1t will be deeply interesting to Birmingham, as every reference to Miss Johnston is eagerly read. The lecture was illustrated with readings by Miss Lucia Phillips and Miss Elizabeth Lea, Miss Conway opening her remarks by discuss ing the personality of Miss Johnston. The order observed was as follows.
 "A New Personality"-Miss Conway.
 .In Which I Throw Ambs-Ace"-Miss Phillips.
 .'The Literary Artist'-Miss Conway.
 Tn Which I Marry in Haste"-Miss Phillips.
 "A Cycle of Romance"-Miss Conway.
 Tn Which Two Drink of One Cup'-Miss Phillips.
 Tn Which the Springtime is at Hand'- Miss Elizabeth Lea.
 "The Spiritual Quality''-Miss Conway.
 Tn Which We Listen to a Song'-Miss Ruth Martin.
 Among the patrons were Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs Lew Wallace and number of other women prominent in New York.
 ITO Have and to Hold' is, by the way, approaching the 200,000th mark. Miss Johnston has already realized s4O,0OO from the American sales and 1t is safe to- as- sume that the English sales will be as great. This would swell the copyright to sSO,0o0, and the remaining $2O,OOO will com in a couple of years The profits from the dramatzation of the book are not in- cluded in this amount, but it is reasonable to suppose that they will be large. ITO Have and to Hold' is published in England under the title, By Order of the Com pany."

London, April 19.-Oficial reports re- ceived from Sir Frederick Mitchell Hogs don, governor and commander-in-c chief of the Gold Coast colony, show that the Ashanti uprising was due to efforts by the British to obtain possession of the "Golden Stoll of Ashanti" the royal throne which King Prempeh was alleged to have con cealed at the time of his submission to the British expedition led by Sir Francis Scott. Y3
 These efforts have been violently opposed by the Kumassie Tribe with the result that two British constables have been danger ously wounded and one has been killed A third is missing and twenty-one casual ties are reported.
 Most of the native chiefs, however, de. clare themselves loyal and refuse to join Kumassie tribemen.
 The governor hopes to secure a peace. full settlement. He has sent for two addi. tional companies of troops.

 It is thirty-eight years since the great conflict occurred at Shiloh. For about thir- ty-three years the spot was neglected and permitted to run wild. Trees a foot in diameter have grown since then, and none of the timber under that size shows scars Of battle or contain bullets In many places where there was little or no under- brush, 1t now stands thick, while in other places it has been thinned out, but many or the cleared fields stand there today, just as they were when the bloody battle was fought.
 The two days of the recent reunion were clear and delightful in every way, and the people from far and near make it a time for picnics and basket lunch parties These, with visitors by steamers and road conveyances, made up variety in the way of visitors.

be trusted in the legislatures TO
make laws for their own GOOD.
Send a laboring man to the legis-
lature and he passes laws diametri-
calIy opposed TO what the labor
unions declare to the best interest
OF the laboring men, showing very
cOnclusively that the Iaboring
legislator undergoes either a
change Of heart or he has no
sympathy with the cause of his
fellow workmen. The laboring
men in the United States can elect
every official in the country il they
would, and, If their cause is so just,
1t seems that they would do that
very thing and thus right all
wrong and have things so run that
they would not be imposed upon,
but they do not, and, it therefore
stands to reason, that the labor
union strikes and struggles are on
the wrong road to reach the

ten of their votes balanced by

Especial Correspondence y

Washington, June Ex-senator
Lodge is one Of the most careful
and thorough Investigators of the
expansion question in all of it's
bearings. He has just been ex-
amining the growth of our trade
with Hawaii, and finds that five
years ago, in 1895, the total Ha-
wallan trade with the United
States amounted to only $11, ,5OO,-
900. Last year it reached $33,
100000, having increased almost
threefold within five years, and
most OF this increase has occurred
within the past eighteen months.
The Senator says we may not
think that a business of $33, ,5O0,-
600 amounts to very much, when
our foreign trade is now running
up into the billions, but to com
pare our trade with the Hawaiian
Islands, with their handful of
people, with our trade with some
of the larger countries of the
world, gives a better idea Of the
value of colonies to the United
States.
AS a result of his Investigations
Senator Lodge finds that
| Our trade with the Hawaiian
Islands is over 100 per cent larger
than our total trade with Austria
Hungary.
1t is Is per cent larger than our
trade with Denmark.
1t is 60 per cent as large as our
total trade with Italy.
1t is nearly four times as large
as our trade with Portugal.
1t is over $50 per cent greater
than our total trade with Russia.
It is almost double our trade
with Spain.
1t is 125 per cent greater than
our trade with Sweden and Nor
way combined.
1t is more than double our trade
with Switzerland.
It is ten times as large as our
trade with Turkey.
It is nearly 80 times larger than
our trade with Greece.
Comparisons with countries on
the American Continent show that
Hawaiian trade with the United
States is equal to 30 per cent Of
our trade with the whole Dominion
of Canada.
It is nearly 150 per cent greater
than our trade with all the Central
American states.
It is go per cent as large as our
trade with Mexico.
1t is so per cent larger than our
trade with all the British West
Indies.
1t is nearly five times as large as
our trade with Porto Rico.
It is three times as large as our
trade with the Danish, Dutch and
French West Indies, with Haiti
and San Domingo included.
IT is almost twice as large as our
trade with Argentine.
1t is almost half as large as our
trade with Brazil, whence we i'm
port most of our coffee.
1t is nearly 400 per cent larger
than our trade with Chile.
1t is nearly 400 per cent larger
than our trade with the United
States Of Columbia.

A birds eye view Of the work
ings Of the Louisiana disfranchise-

following excerpt:
A very strange and a dangerous
feature Of the Southern Negro is
practically disfranchised. In
many counties (parishes) there are
very few white people, and few
dozen men are the rulers Of thou
sands. In Concordia Parish, four
of the eight wards cast only 40
votes and elected IL officers. In
the seventh ward of Caldwell
Parish, but two votes were cast,
and one vote was cast for the con-
stable, and it elected him. East
Carroll Parish cast but 167 votes;
Madison but ISL, and they elected
full boards Of officers and members
Of the Legislature. The small vote
is not due to lack of population.

Rev W. j. White, editor of the
Georgia Baptist, whose columns
are devoted to the Christianizing
Of the colored folk, had narrow
escapal from being treated to a
similar dose as that administered
to the Manly brothers of North
Carolina some years ago, for re-
producing an article from the
Washington Bee, which article
criticised the white people Of
Columbia, Georgia, for lynching a
young Negro because he shot and
killed a young white man that
grossly insulted a young colored
girl with whom the colored man
was IN company on street car.
Editor White was forced to sign a
retraction in the presence of a
bowling mob made up of drunken
scrapegraces with not sense enough
to carry CUTS to a bear, vulgarly
speaking, to the effect that he did
not even know that the article in
question was being put in his
paper, and he felt certain that
none of his help knew it. Of
course Rev. White prevaricated,
but under the circumstances he was
excusable.

the Cause they are Elected tc
Battle for Unionism Proves
to be a Failure.
We do not think any class O
men in the United States are
doing the country as much rea
harm as the union labor organiza-
tions. Here is partial list of the
damage they have caused in st
Louis during the present troubles
there:
Loss in trade ($750,0O0 per day
for thirty days), $22,5O0,OOO.
Loss in salaries to wage earners
thrown out Of employment, $780,
900.
Loss to transit company in fares
($ZO,OOO per day J, $6O0,OOO.
Cost of citizens posse so far
$4,000.
Cost Of extra police, $4,000.
Extra cost in guarding property
of company, $2O,OOO
Loss in wages to 1000 strikers,
$24O,OOO.
Loss to property caused by
rioting, $4,000.
Number of strikers, 1000.
Number Of women and children
depending on strikers, 10000.
Street railway systems affected,
thirteen.
Mi es of track owned by the
transit company, 200.
Thus it will be seen that the loss
to St. Louis thus far aggregates
the enormous total of nearly
$240O0,O0O. With the citizens
posse on the pay roll at daily
cost Of $4,000, this figure is likely
to be greatly increased before the
end OF the strike. On the citizens
posse are number of men promi-
nent in the business and social
community Several millionaires
are among them.
AS in this case SO in all others,
and yet labor unions can not point
to any great good they have ac-
complished for humanity since
they first became known to this
country. We believe that statis-
tics will bear us out in the allega-
ton, that among that class of
laboring men, who do not belong
to labor organizations and work
for moderate salaries, more wealth
and comfort are to be found than
among the labor union men who
work for big wages. The labor
unions have forced high wages in
many instances, but the laborers
do not seem to enjoy the wages
they earn, and, If the laborers
themselves enjoy it, then the
families Of the laborers do not do
so. While on the other hand, the
laboring men who hold themselves
aloof from labor organizations
have good homes and their families
enjoy their earnings. Perhaps
there is eminent need of labor
organizations in this country, but
they appear to be very poorly
managed and directed. hence the
charge, "they do more harm than
good" Laboring men should
understand each other and, per-
haps, unite for their own good, but
when men have to unite for the
express purpose of violence and
wholesale destruction to defy the
very laws that they themselves
make, then it looks as though
something is wrong with the men.
Ii the laboring men can sufficient
ly unite for violence they can
sufficiently unite for the enactment
of laws that will regulate such
things, but no. Notwithstanding
the fact that the laboring men are
fully five to one in this country

Since the British people have
always been unusually friendly to
the black race it would seem that
the late war there will prove a
Godsend to the Negro, and he will
be developed there as other places
where British civilization prevails.
Under the Beers the blacks Jared
very badly, and England has
always stood between the Beers
and the blacks.
