 A GIANT AMONG PYGMIEs.
 Doubtless We should condole with Professor Booker T. Washington. of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. The 1 Philadelphia conference of the African , Methodiot Episcopal church, sitting at Harrisburg, Pa, has just declared, by , a vote of 10l to :, that Washington is not ''one of the greatest negroes in the world" And yet, somehow. we don't feel sorry for Washington. even little bit. After all, it is a question of stan dards--of the point of view. The most important white men in the country. north and south, east and west, think 1 that Booker Washington is great negro--great, because he has brains, | common sense, and is doing useful and splendid work; great, because he sets up wholesome and exalting ideals: great, because he is guided by wisdom, not vanity. How many of the 10l, we wonder, would be noticed in any serious way by the class of white men who es- teem and honor and respect the man they have childishly repudiated" :" Washington is invited to address the best people of both sections; he sits at banquets with the most important men in the cour philosophers, scholars, statesmen, capitalists. financiers, phil anthropists--who find in him a valua ble contributor to our common civilization and our social progress. He gets with out asking for it the recognition which his enemies and traducers long for. but cannot have. And this because he does good. respects himself. and keeps his dignity erect. Who cares what these foolish humbues at Harrisburg think about Booker Washington, or about anybody else? What achievement have they to show in comparison with his? What are they teaching that is worth moments thought In connec- ton with the moral. social and material eXaltation of their race? Why, if they could hang on to the skirts of his coat and so be dragged along with him. they would riHa in the scale to which all their now fruitless aspirations look. If they could imbibe even the smallest fra Htion of his lofty and benificent pur- pose. they would become d thousand times more important than they are ever likely to be upon their intrinsic merits. No, no; We do not pity Booker Washington. We feicitate him.-Wash- ington Post.

A PESTIFEROUS GERM.
Burrows up the Scalp Into DandruffT
 and Saps the Hairs Vitality.

People who complain of falling hair as a rule do not know that 1t is the re- suit of dandruff. which is caused by a pestiferous parasite borrowing up the scalp as it digs down to the sheath in which the hair is fed in the scalp. Be- fore long the hair root is shriveled up and the hair drops out. If the work Of the germ is not destroyed hair keeps thinning until badness comes. The only way to cure dandruff is to kill the germ, and until now there has been no hair preparation that would dn it; but today dandruff is easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide, which makes hair glossy and soft as silk.

4 DARING ESCAPE.

Holloway prison, in England, is cou- sidered one of the strongest in the United Kingdom, and. In fact, only one successful escape has ever been made from it. This was recently accomp- lished by q German who was commit ted for trial for burglary. He was first confined in the cells of the Highgate police court; hut. after making three attempts to escape. which were frus- trated, hc was, on May l, brought to Holloway with orders that careful watch be kept on him. He made his escape through an eighteen inch venti- lator in the top of his cell. He wrenched off the iron cover with his hand, and was obliged to take off his clothes In order to squeeze himself through the aperture. From the ven- tllator he lowered himself to the ground with q rope made Of his bed clothes. Even then he was not free. The prison yard is surrounded by a wall some twenty-five or thirty feet high. He sealed this. however. with the aid of some planks.. and made good his escape, nor had he. according to the last report. been found. Possibly the most wonderful part of all this is that he had but one hour in which to carry out all his plans. The warler of the prison made hourly visits to his cell, and one found the prisoner lying evidently asleep. while an hour later the cell was empty, and the prisoner was already outside of the limits of the prison yard. One never reads of these daring escapes without feeling of pity that these prisoners could not expend the same amount of pluck and energy In some honest pursuit.-Boston Her.. ald.

LANDING BIG NAVAL GUNS.
An Experiment Successfully Tried
by Rear Admiral Higginson

The North Atlantic Squadron has been
engaged in an interesting experiment to
determine how quickly big naval guns
can be sent on shore from warships to
assist land forces in war. In the South
African war some 4.7-inch rifles were
landed from a British warship and rem
dered effective service against the Beers
and the Navy Department. has been anx-
fous to find out whether this work could
be done with ease and Without danger
to the weapons.
A report from Rear Admiral Higsinson,
commander in chief of the North Atlantic
naval force. dated Great Point. Nam
tucket. July 9. says that the experiment
was successfully carried out at that place
On the arrival of the squadron at Great
Point at o'clock p. m, July S, Admiral
Higginson Immediately proceeded to land
a force of marines ana to send ashore
two 5-inch guns, two 6-pounders, and two
3-pounders. Each of the 5-inch guns,
with its mount. weighs about five tons
"All the guns were ready for firing at
daylight on the morning of the 9Th, says
the admiral. except one 5-inch gun from
the Kearsarge which was delayed on
account of the imperfectly fitted plat
form which was sent here from the New

the yard, as the bolts would not fit the
holes in the timbers and the latter had TO
be bored and burned out"
Concerning the wcrk of landing the
guns, the admiral says:
The officers and men from the ships
and the marine detachment worked all
night with great ardor and enthusiasm,
and | cannot speak too highly Of their
conduct. The camp was Lighted all night
by electric lights from the ships and no
difficulty was found in pursuing the work.
A torpedo battery was established with
four tubes on platforms ready foI use at
daylight. The beach at this place offers
excellent facilities for landing and ! rec
ommend that it be used as freque atty as
possible"
Naval officials say that the work of
landing the guns was accomplished in
remarkably short time and the ability
of warships to send heavy ordnance
ashore to help an army was demonstrat-
ed in practical way.

Important savings for men to make.

in favor of abolishing the position of sup
erfntendent of county schools While in
your desire to decrease the expenses of
the State government this may seem TO
you advisable, ] wish to say that if you
advocate such a measure it will mean
your political ruin in this county,
1t is said today that many letters of a
similar nature have also been received.
In fact. it is an open secret among the
members of the convention that the Of
flee holders are making a desperate fight
to retain their present positions. The
convention, however. is sincere in its de-
sire to reform the State and county gov
ernments of Virginia. and il is confident
ly said that the sentiment is to ''hew to
the line, let the chips fall where they
may" While no definite decision has as
yet been reached as to what offices will
be abolished. 1t is now certain that many
will experience the sensation of feeling
the keen edge of the political axe
The fate OF the county superintendent
of public schools is hanging in the bal
ance. There is now a strong sentiment
in the convention that this Office should
be abolished as useless and eXtravagant-
The Committee on Public Instruction is
decided on the question and the real bat
tie will in all probability be fought on
the floor of the convention.

those having authority TO deprive grown
up lads Of the only Lfeathing place-cor-
responding to the commons of other great
cities-w here they may play the national

CUBAN TELEGRAPH LINES.
Representatives of Three Companies
See Secretary Root.

Secretary Root yesterday granted
hearing to the representatives of the Pos
tai Telegraph Company, the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and the
French Cable Company on the applica-
ton of the French company to continue
the use Of the military lines in Cuba in
the transmission of its messages from
Santiago TO Havana.
The Western Union Company some time
ago objected to the use of these lines by
a rival corporation, claiming that the
United States had no authority to SO as
sist a commercial company. The ques-
ton was referred to Judge Magoon for
an opinion, and incidentally it brought up
for consideration again the question of
granting a franchise TO the Commercial
Gable Company to operate line to Cuba,
the Western Union claiming exclusive
rights under a grant from Spain.
Secretary Root listened to the argu-
ments of the different representatives,,
but announced that he would not at once
decide the matter.

MANY PASSPORTS ISSUED.
A Great Increase Reported by the
State Department..

Judged by the records of the Passport
Division of the State Department, more
people are going abroad this year than
ever before except last summer. when the
Paris Exposition attracted an unusual
number of Americans. There has been
great increase recently in the number of
passports issued, but the passport clerk
attributes this quite as much to stringent
new regulations by European countries as
to the ability of more people to pay the
expenses of European trip.
Heretofore many Americans went
abroad without obtaining passports. Most
of the European countries have adopted
more severe regulations for the identity
of foreigners and the State Department
advises all naturalized American citizens
contemplating visits to their native lands
TO provide themselves with official ere
dentials in the form of passports; This
advice extends even to former British
subjects Experience has taught Ameri-
cans who go abroad frequently that a
passport is a very good thing to have,
and the work of the passport clerk has
increased greatly in consequence
