GOOD ROADS IN PORTO rico.

Porto Rico may not have exactly the
kind of trade arrangements she wants,
but she is going to have a system of
good roads that will please and benefit
her. About 81, 100000 is being expended
for this work during the present year.
OF this amount $4,000 comes from the
100000 emergency fund placed at the
disposal of the president in March, 1899,
and the balance from insular sources.
Porto Rico has one hundred and fifty
six miles Of excellent road constructed
under Spanish dominion out of four
hundred miles proposed at that time
Now one hundred and sixteen miles of
the unbuilt sections is in process of con-
struction, and when this is completed
at the close of the year there will be
total of two hundred and eighty-one
miles Of first-class road In the island.

NEGROES IN LITERATURE.

|
Within the last two years Daniel Muir
ray of the Congressional library has
/ been endeavoring to secure complete
list of pamphlets and books by negro
authors. This work has been carried on
with great thoroughness under the d.
rection of Herbert Putnam, librarian of
congress. The effort thus made has re-
vealed so much Of excellence that has
been written and forgotten that COM
plete photography is being prepared Tor
the Paris exposition as part OF the
American exhibit.
In Mr.. Murray's preliminary list of
books and pamphlets by negro authors
there are LOO titles and about l200
writer's These beginnings have been
found mostly in Philadelphia, Boston,
New York, Baltimore and Washington.
The pamphlet literature is particularly
interesting, as showing to what extent
colored men became thinkers and schol-
ars in days when II was crime to teach
negroes to read and write. These people
without country and without favor
not only became educated, but what
they wrote contributed greatly to the
political, religious and social questions
of the day. Many of these earlier writ
ers were educated in the West Indies,
Much of their writing exhibited excel
lence Of the highest order.
The chief characteristic of nearly all
Of this early writing by negro authors
was seriousness There was but little fie-
ton, poetry or humor How to destroy
slavery and bring freedom and equality
to the enslaved was the burden of most
of the first negro authors. With the
conquest of slavery negro authors lost
their most inspiring theme Since that
time very few men and women have
gained name and fame as contributors
to American literature.
George w. Williams History of the
American Negro in two large volumes,
is an interesting and valuable compila-
ton Bishop Payne's History of the
A. M. e, Church." Anna j. Cooper's es-
says, "A Voice from the South, Fred
erick Douglas wonderful autobiogra-
ply; the more recent publications by
Booker 7. Washington, Professor Du
Boise and the lives of Phillips and Sum-
ner, by Archibald Grimke, and the liter
airy productions of Paul Laurence Dun
bar and Charles Chestnut are represen-
tative of the best things contributed to
American literature by negro authors.
These later books are what might be
called the first productions of the negro
In freedom. 1t is the first literary ut
terance of the negro who has been to |
school. II is also prophetic OF what may |
be expected, 1t is promise that au-
thorship of a most interesting and valu- |
able kind will develop in the course of |
the progressive life Of the race,-Chica-

when hear people boast what they
would or wouldn't do under the persua-
sion of a six-shooter" said an old pas
senger conductor, II am always re-
minded Of an experience of mine, years
ago, on the Iron Mountain railroad.
Il was station agent at the time at a
little town near Texarkana, and had
been summoned up to Little Rock on
some business that has nothing to do
with this story, I was in the first day
coach well up to the front and In the
next seat was an express messenger
who had attracted good deal of atten-
ton from the fact that he wore his hair
long and had pair of enormous revol-
vers stuck in his belt. The rest of the
car was well filed with a mixed crowd,
including perhaps a dozen women. At
about nine o'clock at night, while we
were going over very desoate part of
the road, the train slowed down sudden
ly, and before we could inquire what
was wrong the front door flew open and
a masked man stepped inside with
sawed-off shotgun at his shoulder.
Sit still" he yelled. TIL turn loose if
airy soul moves a finger!' AS he spoke
another masked man stepped around
him with cooked revolver in his hand
and started down the aisle, looking the
passengers as he went When he came
to the express messenger he burst out
laughing. You - scarecroWl he said,

and he snatched one of the pistols out
of his belt and hit him over the head
with the butt, Then he took the other
made him hand over his watch and
money, and passed on. The messenger
wiped the blood off his face and said
nothing.
After it was all over and the rob-
bers had disappeared the messenger
was target for numerous sneering re-
marks. If l had made break he said
to me, quietly that Teller at the door
would have blazed away with bis

ucts, Mr.. Brown suggests that almost
every railroads right of way Is capable
of growing GAO trees to each mile of
track In sixteen years this would pro-
vide three thousand ties, or enough to
relay the mile of track. AS the catal-
pa sprouts readily from the stump and
the young shoots grow rapidly the trees
would be permanent and fully supply
all requirements for ties, fence posts,
telegraph poles and lumber
II doesn't seem to be absolutely neces-
sary that the useful white pine should
have a successor, but If 1t must have

SIG Mt.

A significant feature of the work of
the Democratic congressional campaign
committee is the almost complete alb
sence of any demand for the distribution
of free silver literature in the various
districts. Chairman Kerr informed the
Brooklyn Eagles Washington CORE
spondent that the committee has sent
out practically no 16 to / speeches this
year, and that he is combining his cam
paign literature to anti-imperialistic,
Porto Rican tariff and general colonial
subjects. AS the committee merely
sends out matter in response to requests
from party leaders in the different dis
tricts this condition is regarded as in
dicating that the Democratic aspirants
for seats in congress have no desire to
put their hopes for success in free sill
yer, but are looking for issues that have
more vitality than the one that sent
Bryan down to defeat in 1896. Mr.. Kerr
does not. of course, regard this lack of
interest in the currency question as
indicating that the people have lost
faith in the Is to 1 policy He thinks
that that issue was fought out in 1895
and that the people were then thorough
ly educated in all phases of the subject.
Further agitation of it at this time, he
thinks, would be lost labor and that the
voters have fully determined their
course on this point. There is a big de-
mand from all parts of the country
however, for campaign literature relat-
ing to the policy of the administration
in the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Cuba
Wait till Bryan resumes operations. |
Whatever others may say or do his |
heart and tongue will still remain true |
to sixteen to one. If they don't it will |
be because he changes his mind.

THE WHITE PINE'S SUCCESSOR.

There has been some anxiety about
what will happen when the white pine
is used up and no more is grown. The
hardy western catalpa is to be the white
pines successor, according to John P.
Brown, Secretary of the Indiana Fores-
try Association, who has set forth in a
pamphlet the possibilities of this tree
under cultivation. The catalpa is a
large tree at maturity, reaching sixty
to eighty feet in height, and with a
trunk from two to five feet in diameter.
1t is indigenous to the lower valley of
the Wabash river in Indiana and Illi-
nois, and seems to prefer the overflow
ed alluvial lands. 1t has proved to be

though high boots may be picturesque

that the proper length of outing skirt is

Not much is heard about Morocco, but
the situation there now is said to be
disquieting. Two of the strongest men
in the country died recently almost to-
gether. The first to go was 81 Drees,
the COMMUNICATIVE who, although
only twenty-seven years old, exercised
great influence and authority The sec
ond was Bah Hamed, the Grand Vizier,
whose death was announced the other
his survival, and when he was taken
sick he was attended by the French and
English physicians attached to the
court and the private physician of the
Spanish ambassador. His death leaves
the chief executive power in the hands
of two Viziers, brothers, one of whom
is blind and the other crazy. The chief
peril comes from the incapacity of the
young Sultan, who knows little Of the
affairs of his kingdom, and has hitherto
surrendered himself to a life of volup-
tuous dissipation, a course in which he
was encouraged by Bah Hamed, who
had made himself, according to all ac-
counts, q practical dictator. Public
discomfort is rife, and unless the Sultan
should unexpectedly assert himself, the
chances for revolution, and for subse-
quent foreign intervention, are many.

DIR. Frank Baker, of the Smithsonian
guide and hunter of the Yellowstone
Park, to catch some of the monster
bears on Kadiak Island in the Gulf of
Alaska, for the National Geological
Park. These bears are of the polar
breed, perfectly white, with long, heavy
fur, and at full growth are twice as
large as the ordinary black bear of the
Rocky Mountains, weighing from 2,400
to 5000 pounds and standing as high as
an ordinary cow-the biggest carniver-
GUS animal living. The tracks they
leave in the snow have often measured
fifteen inches long and ten inches wide.
They are very savage and fight des-
perately when attacked. Several have
been killed and the skins brought to this
country, but no Kadiak bear was ever
captured alive. DR.. Tarleton H. Bean,
the first expert, who is in charge of the
department of fisheries at the Paris ex-
position, while making an exploration of
the fishing resources OF kadiak Island
last year saw a great many of these
bears and describes them in graphic
terms. He says that while climbing a
rocky hill one day he saw a large drove
of them near the coast running about
and playing like so many lambs. There
must have been a hundred and fifty
or two hundred in the bunch, he SAYS.
and some of them were enormous.
