CONSERVATION in the Ranks of the New

New York. Oct Reconsideration
reigned yesterday in the ranks OF tele-
graph messenger boys, whom tradition,
whether Justly or unjustly. credits with
the slow movements of the tortoise and
perpetual weakness for cigarets and
highly -colored romances. Every leaden-
footed Mercury. in blue uniform or
gray, uneasily discussed the report that
the fraternity was be supplanted by
the messenger girl. According to dis
patch from Cleveland the messenger
girl has made her appearance in that
city, and has met with instantaneous
approval. The manager of the Postal
Telegraph Company there is said to
be responsible for the / innovation. he
Phaving tired of the complaints made
against dilatory lads m his office.
When business. men of Cleveland rang
for messengers last Monday they We're
surprised by the appearance in their Of
fees OF neat little girls with bright and
smiling faces. They say that since
then the messenger girl has proved her
self to be obedient and obliging. She de-
livers messages with a speed and
promptnesys that is satisfactory to long
complaining patrons.
ofiicials of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, however, deny that there is any
Immediate prospect that messenger
girls will be substituted for the
messenger boys in New York city.
They Admit that little girls might prove
better messengers. but say that the
scheme might not prove practicable in
New York City, where telegraph mts-
sengers are summoned at all hours of
the day and night

CARTE BLANCHE FROM Upton
Designer Watson Tells of Instruc-
lions Regarding the Cup ChnI-
ien%er.

AT dinner party at Glasgow the
other evening, at wlIirh the success of
the Shamrock II. was toasted, Sir
Thomas Upton and George l.. Watson
replied. The latter mentioned that
when Sir Thomas commissioned him
to build the yacht, he said:
'Now, Watson. have not got money
TO burn, but if you are going to make
her go one second faster you can
shovel on tiye-pound notes."
Watson added that he had taken
Sir Thomas at his word. They had
willie" Jameson with them, and,
next to Providence, "Wille" Jameson
was the best aid they could have. If
the boat did not win he did not see
that there would he anybody much to
blame, but himself. If it was only a
question as between Herreshoff and
himself, he did not see that the Sham
rock III. would have much chance, but
he had associated with him such talent
that, with ''wee bit of luck" which
was nearly due them now, they hoped
TO pull through.

PETROLEUM STATISTICS.
Census Figures which Show Changes
in Refining Business in Last
Ten Years.

Statistics of petroleum refining at
the present census. as given in bull
letin just issued, show that. while the
value of the product has increased
45.S per cent. over that of 1889, there
has been Il decrease in the number of
establishments and the number of re-
tineries. The reduction in the number
of establishments has been due partly
to the consolidation of two or more
formerly Independent concerns under
one management, and partly to the
abandonment and dismantling of few
comparatively small establishments,
both being the natural result of the
present tendency in industrial combi-
nations.
1t is interesting to note that, while
the total capital in 1899 shows an in
crease of 23.l per cent. over 1889, and
the value of the products an increase
of 45.S per cent, the cost of materials
increased 5l.4 per cent. The price of
crude petroleum in 1899 was higher
than in 1882 while the values of re-
fined products, particularly illuminat-
ing oils, were generally lower.

TO BETTER NEGRO RACE.
Huge Movement Started in Washing
ton for Young Peoples Com
grcHs in 1862.

A movement has been inaugurated
among the colored people of the Unit
ed States at ASbury Methodist Episco-
pal church. Washington, by represent
atives of religious denominations and
agencies engaged in religious work
among the negroes for Il monster gath
ering of young negro men and women
in the summer of 1902.
This meeting will be known as the
Negro Young Peoples Christian con
gresS.
Bishop Wesley j. Gaines, Atlanta,
Ga, was elected president of the move
ment Rev. DR. W. d. Isaacs. Nashville,
Tenn, vice president; Prof j. Gar
land Penn, Atlanta. Ga. corresponding
secretary; Rev. B. W. Arnett, Spring
field, ILL.,, assistant secretary; Rev. W.

The purpose is told in Il greeting to
the negro, which says;
The unreachrd negro of little cul-
ture, of no practical piety and loaded
with evil appetites which have their
origin in former conditions, and which
heredity has given him. is the criminal
negro and must be reached.
The general theme of the pro

LAWSON BOAT IS FEARED.
The Boston Yacht IL Almost 81 Coun-
tcrpart of LiptOn's New
Challenger.

When Sir Thomas Upton recently
said that he was chiefly concerned
about the HerreShoff boat and saw
no reason to count seriously on the
chances of the Crowninshield defender.
he was merely echoing the opinion then
generally held of British yachtsmen.
1t seems now, however. that it is dawn
ing on the experts that the Lawson
boat is worthy of more attention than
was previously given to her.
The reason for this change of opin-
ion lies chiefly in the remarkable re-
semblance OF Mr.. Lawson's boat with
the Shamrock II. Details seem to show
that every important novelty in the
Watson boat has been duplicated in
Lawson's. The lead of the keel is run
inside on both yachts in order to Sc
cure strength and lightness with less
surface friction. Both masts consist
of single spar, with the view of es-
Gaping weight and the weakness of a
topmast. Imperishable aluminium is
also used for the decks of both boats.
AS it is impossible for either designer
to have plagiarized the other, the fact
that they have arrived at identical
conclusions in these important mat
ters has suggested to British yachts
men that the designers are more near
ly on the same plan than supposed.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Room Especially Arranged at

Practical nnd effective Plan of Prof.

There will in few days be opened to
the general public one of the most un-

prof. Langley has long worked upon
this pet hobby. and from some vague
IDEAS has evolved practical object les
son in natural history for children
ranging from to Is years that is as
charming in execution as conception.
The professors theory is that the
time for forming love of the sciences
is during the first years of child's
life, when birds, butterflies and house
hold pets first begin to amuse and in
terest them. With this in view he has
brought from high, dusty shelves and
Latin appeIlations some of the most
Interesting phases of bird and fish life
and inanimatc nature. placing them on
level with ten-year-old noses under
fetching labels, written in The simplest
and most beautiful English.
AS a result, the children's room, on
the sunny side of the gloomy-lookin
old building, is eXquisitcly decorated in
soft green and gold and has a daintiIy
tiled floor. 1t is "A teeming mass of
singing birds and birds that outShine

perched on the side of branch and
looks to be working for dear life. while
a curious little pewee has forgotten SUI

Besides the fetching birds that tell

offer such a glaring target when an
