quently that the negro a c vas on
a decline, while, as a matter of fact,
the figures of the decade prove that
it aas increased. The percentage of
increase for all persons of color is
l7-S and out of that percentage the
negroes may claim all but a very
small part. There are now more
than twice as many of them in the
country as there were in the days of
slavery, and they constitute almost
one-eighth of the total population.
On April 4, was launched at Bel
fast, Ireland, the largest vessel in
the world, the Celtic. She was built
for the White Star line in Harland &
VOLTS shipyard, her dimensions
being 700 feetlergth, rs feet breadth
40 feet depth. Her gross tonnage is
10000 and her carrying capacity
greater than that o fany other ship ever
built, her displacement exceeding the
Great Eastern's by 10000 tons.
Record breaking feats are not to be
expected of the leviathian, nor are her
cabins luxuriously fitted out. Com
forts, convenience and security are
offered at a reasonable charge to
travellers, of whom the Celtic can
accommodate nearly 5000.
Govener Herreid has issued the
following letter to heads of public
institutions relative to the observance
of Louisiana purchase Flag Day.
Dec. 90, 1901, being the date of
the actual transfer to the United
States of the territory comprising
the Louisiana purchase, has by the
worlds fair commissioners been
selected as the most appropriate day
for the first imp essive ceremonies in
connection with the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition. TIL worlds fair
commission has requested the COVER
nors of the states comprising the
Louisiana purchase to designate Dec.
20, 1901, as Louisiana Purchase Flag
Day. This has been done in some
of the the states. In South Dakota
the presidents and superintendent
of all state institutions-e educational,
penal and char;table-are hereby
requested to display the flag from
public buildings in commemoration
of said events.
AS the government is spending
millions of dollars at St. Louis to
assist in the centennial celebration,
it would seem opportune, with flags
floating over the Louisiana purchase
REGION, to thus call attention to said
memorable event in the history of
our country and to the approaching
exposition.

A COMMUNITY OF INTERESTS.

the Big Western Lines.
Chicago June NJrhe Tribune to-mor-
row will say:
E. H. Hartman was the directing hg-
ure in two movements begun yesterday.
and which are expected to Affect every
railroad running west OF Chicago and St.
Paul.
What was held to be the first step to-
ward a composite agreement between the
great roads running west of these cities,
was perfected at conference held here
between Mr.. Hartman and officials OF
the companies concerned. BY it's terms
an agreement to end rate wars and other
complications is expected to be spread
over all the roads in the northern group,
including the Northern Pacific, the Bur-
lington, the Milwaukee and st. Paul, the
Union Pacific, the Northwestern and the
Great Northern lines, to the southwest
the Santa Fe will operate hand in hand
with the Southern Pacific. 1t will be a
community of interests" plan and pro-
vides that the Pacific Mail and Occidental
Steamship lines, controlled by the South
ern Pacific, shall take care OF the Santa
FEES trans-Paciio business.
The other move directed by Mr. Harri-
man was the practical provision for the
transfer of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul to the Hartman syndicate and
the turning of this line into a link of the
Union Pacific system. Little doubt is en-
tcrtained but that the syndicate has ac-
CURED control of the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul on practically the same lines that
j. j. Hill secured control of the Burling-
ton. The stock of the st. Paul road will
be taken over by the Union Pacific at the
October meeting.

RELATING TO YOUNG MEN.

Which Confro Them,

Boston, June 15-WhiIe many branches
of Y. NJ. C. A. work were discussed at
yesterdays meeting of the international
jubilee convention, the programme to-day
included topics more particularly bearing
on the problems directly involving young
men. Several well-known speakers pre-
scented SUBJECTS at the forenoon session.
There was no meeting this afternoon, the
time being devoted to Sightseeing.
In presenting the subject The Head OF
More Aggressive Warfare Against the
Forces Which Are Destroying Young
Men," Rev. DR.. j. NJ. Buckley of New
York threw a strong light on many as
poets of modern life, suggested by the
topic, and emphasized the Importance Of
lndiVidual work to prevent threatened de-
struction- The speaker specified as de
stroying forces" a lack of the sense of
God, as indifference to the Bible as a
moral and religious authority, a doubt
OF Its divine origin, often expressed, but
more frequently implied in disparag1ng
atusions; impurity in its various forms;
the drink habit, gambling in social life
and the spirit Of it in business life

In the island Kingdom.

In the island Kingdom.
Yokohama. May 30. via Victoria, B. c.,
June 15,-The cabinet muddle is not only
still unsettled, but it becomes daily more
complicated and more hopeless Of solution
The source of trouble, while dignifed as
strife between the principle of a party
ministry and that of an Independent cab
met responsible only to the sovereign, is
almost lost sight of in the pet
tiness of the political squabbles
which have come to the
surface, making it impossible for any
statesman without complete loss of self
respect to undertake the task of form
Ing a ministry. In the meantime, the
impression has gone abroad that the diff
flculty has arisen from the desperate
state Of the finances. Nothing could be
further from the truth The financial
status' of the government Is absolutely
sound and fiourishing. The trouble should
be attributed solely to the country's mex
perience in the workings of parliamentary
institutions. 1t is the natural outcome of
the period of transition through
in passing. Meanwhile much sympathy
is felt and expressed for the Emperor,
who, in his absorbing interest for the
success of the experiment in constitu-
tional government, which he has freely
granted to his people, now finds himself
deprived of the means TO keep it in prac-
teal operation, no help coming from any
statesman in whom he places confidence.

story Told by a Former JeweIer's
Assistant in Norfolk, Va.
From the New Orleans Picayune.


From the New Orleans Picayune.
Mr.. Carey Harris OF 17i2 valmont street,
who has Interested himself in behalf OF
Mrs. f1orenos Maybrick. the American
woman now serving life sentence in
an English prison for the alleged poison
ing OF her husband, has received the fol-
lowing communication from Mr.. Charles
w. Balm of ia Brambleton avenue Nor
folk, Va, which may shed some new light
on the reported innocence OF Mrs. May
brick:
eat the time that Mr.. Maybrick was a
resident of Norfolk, Va, he was In bus
mess, as far as 1 know, to be what had
been classed a cotton buyers. He was
very frequently In the company of Mr..
N. NJ Batleson, who had been, as / UNI
derstood, in the same business. Whether
they were partners or not, never knew.
had been at that time in the employ OF
c. f. Greenwood a. Co., jewelers., 1853
Main street. Norfolk. Messrs. Greenwood
had In their employ an Englishman,
George Coxon by name, and who was an
expert matchmaker. Mr.. Maybrick was
the owner of a very fine timepiece. with
which he was very careful and particular
as to It's regulation and running.
Through the courtesy OF Mr.. Adam Tread
well, a cotton merchant Of Norfolk, Mr..
Maybrck was fntrOuuced by Mr. CoXOn
for the purpose OF having his watch
looked after and regulated.
Mr. Maybrick very frequently visited
Messrs. Greonwood's repair shop and in
this way became acquainted with him.
1 considered him a gentleman and one OF
a very determined and positive mind. IL
was on two occasions when he came to
the shop 10 have his watch compared by
the chronometer that Mr. Coxon was
on the roof, where we had the Observable.
~ for taking the sun 10 get the time by
transit instrument. Upon the occasion
OF Mr.. Maybrick's FIRST visit he asked me
for a little drinking water to take some
medicine. He then took from his pocket
a vial containing small white pellets
and swallowed two, which he showed
me- Surprising that he suffered of in
digestion, / inquired of him what they
were when he laughingly replied: why,
no; this Is strychnine, and l take II to
quiet my nerves After he had taken the
pellets he remarked. 1t is enough to kill
you
"He again visited the shop about two
weeks later when the same performance
was gone through. This time told him
that ne had bstter be careful, and that
II he kept that practice up Il would soon
kin him. To my warning he replied. Il
guess not-there is nothing like habit.
I am accustomed 10 taking strychnine
and am sure I cannot do without H. and
at the same time advised me not 20 ever
ooAmenco tho practice, for I would never
