AGAINST THE BLACKS.
Maryland Democrats Declare the Right of
the Ignorant to Vote Is Public
Menace.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 2.-Tre demo-
Gratis of Maryland met in convention
here at noon for the purpose of NAM
ing candidates for controller and
clerk of the court of appeals and
adopting a platform upon which can
didates for the legislature, which
meets in January next, will stand.
Much thought and careful considera-
ton had been given to the platform
and to the district nominations for
both houses of the general assembly
as upon democratic success or failure
in this particular depends the re-elec-
ton or defeat of Former Senator Ar
thur Pue German to succeed Senator
Wellington. Mr.. German himself has
taken part in all the conferences upon
this subject and the platform is gen.
orally regarded as the product of his
sagacity and experience.
The platform, which was adopted
without dissension, declares that the
unqualified right to vote by ignorant
citizens is menace to the welfare of
the state and that the state admin
istration is to be commended for
having caused laws to be adopted re-
stricting the power of illiterates to
cast their ballots.

ONE CHANCE LEFT.
The Disappointed Ones at FL Reno Hope
That Many Who Drew Homesteads VIII
Not Fne-1s,OOO Names Drawn.

FL Reno, Ok, Aug. 2.-The fourth
day of the drawing for homesteads
opened clear and hot. It lacked few
boxes began to revolve and the live
~ click of typewriters recorded the
names of the beIated lucky numbers.
Thursday finished 1900 names and
the worst is over. The remaining
numbers will be drawn in a hurry.
The crowd facing the platform Thurs
day was large, but every day it is
growing less and the night trains car
ried the bulk of the crowd away. Anx-
ious faces show great disappointment,
but many, however, are holding to
the hope that many of the names
drawn will never file. Satisfaction is
general over the selection by Gov.
Richards of the three commissioners
who will have charge of the sale of
tOwnsites in the new county seats of
Lawton, Anadarko and Hobart.
The homestead Spectator already is
seeking to get an offer of cash for
relinquishing his claim. The specu-
lator is the man who registered for the
sole purpose of selling what he might
draw out of the wheels that began
turning July 30. The fact that regis
tratiOn cost nothing and carried with
it a chance of getting 100 acres of land
worth from 81, 500 to $4,000, drew thou
sands of persons to FL Reno and Law
ton who never intended to stay in the
country and who would be as helpless
as children should they try to prove
up a homestead.

Big Demand for Lumber.
HARD RAP AT TEACHERS.
Professor In Columbia University Says They
Are ''tha Most Narrow and Big
Oted Set on Earth.'

Berkeley, Cal, Aug. AT the clos
ing session of the summer school at
the University of California, James
Earl Russell, dean of the teachers col
1ege and professor of history and
education at Columbia university.
struck some hard blows at the teach
ing profession. He called teachers
the most narrow and bigoted set OF
people on earth. He said they were
pusillanimous and cringing and ac-
cused them of being as a class totally
unfit and unprepared, for the work
they were pretending to do. Although
the hall was filled in great part with
teachers attending the summer
schools, the professors package of un-
pleasant truths was well received. He
spoke of himself as of the teaching
profession.

HOT WEATHER PHYSICS.
The Inquisitive Son Engages His Fa-

The thermometer was doing busi-

up at No. one hundred and some
electric fan in the corner, was about
the only object in the room which
showed special evidence of life, re-

"Pop," presently came in a small
voice from the sofa, 'Pop, doesn't

There was silence for moment;
then
"Pop. doesn't all motion produce

motion of moving my lips to answer

is necessary this weather"
There was silence again. Pop"
continued trying to finish up a BUSH
ness letter, and the owner of the
small voice continued lying on the
sofa, looking list1essly ahead into the
electric fan, his fluffy hair waving
softly in the cooling current which
flowed from it's fast-revo1ving blades.
Once more the silence was broken:
Motion causes friction, does it
not?"

A pause of several minutes.
THAT fan over there is in notion
isn't it, popper?''
''Yes, yes; don't bother me SO
much
Another pause.
"say, pop, If that fan is in motion,
and motion produces friction, and
friction causes heat, why don't you
stop it? It's hot enough, isn't it,
without any more motion than is nee
essary2'
But there was no reply, and the
fan went on.

Blow at England.

New York, Aug. 5.-Plans to strike
a formidable blow at the British gov

Irish secret societies in this city and
elsewhere. In what direction the
blow is to be struck and at what
time is only known to a few OF the
leaders in this country and in En-

a forcible manner and at such vul-

probable. 1t is now reported that
fund is being raised in this country
to carry out the plans of the party.
the foremost of which are members
of the Clan-na-Gae1, and that while
many thousand dollars have been
raised, much more is needed before

MEANS BITTER FIGHT
The Steel Trust and Its Organized
LabOrers Cannot Agree.
President ShafFer, of the Union. Says He
VIII Call Out Every Union Man and
the Contest for Supremacy
VIII Begin.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 5.-"Within a
week every union man and every
union man at heart in the employ of
the United States Steel corporation
will be asked to join in the strike now
being waged by the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION. We must settle whether
unionism is to stand or fall. There
will be no more conferences with
the United States Steel corporation
unless the meeting is asked for by the
officials of that corporation. The
Amalgamated association will not re-
quest a peace meeting" This and
several other significant statements
were made last night by President
Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
upon his return from the fruitless
conference with J. Pierpont Morgan
and others in New York.
1t is now a fight to a finish between
the great billion dollar steel trust and
organized labor. Mr.. Shaffer says
that he is ready to employ every
peaceable means within the power
of man to win a victory. No quarter
is to be given and none will be re-
>quested. The entire management of
the battle has been placed in the
hands of President Shaffer. He has
absolute power to call out every man
who is connected with the organiza-
ton and he intends to do it. He is
satisfied with the progress of the
fight to date He finds that none of
his battle lines have been broken.
Promise is made by Mr.. Shaffer that
the trust will find the Amalgamated
association is strong in many of its
mills.
Mr.. Shaffer said that the stories
that Mr.. Morgan had been ugly dur
ing the conference on Saturday were
untrue. He said the gentleman had
been courteous and businesslike
throughout the entire meeting and if
he had lost his temper it was after
the adjournment of the gathering.

CHILDREN IN SUMNER.
Rules which should Govern Young
Mothers In the Care of Their
Infants.

The heat of summer is especially
trying to the health of little children.
II the child has been fed at regular
hours and has learned to take maps at
stated periods the value OF such habits
will now be seen. More than one-half
of the children born die before they
are two years old, and of these more
than one-half die in the summer time,
overcome by heat and the various dis
eases of the digestive organs, which.
arise from improper food, says the
New York Tribune.
A healthy baby wakes early in the
morning, and in summer he should be
dressed at once and taken out in the
cool morning to take his first meal I'M
der the trees and to enjoy himself
with singing birds and the young life
of nature. If the child is taken out
and fed as early as six o'clock in the
morning, and if he is we'll, he will soon
fall asleep under the trees and sleep
until his bath is ready. Ten O'Clock in
the morning is an hour when it is usu-
ally convenient to battle him, and if
the baby is given his bath systematic
ally at this hour in winter, as well as
in summer, he will be eager for it, and
his morning outing will give him a
vigorous appetite. After the meal fol-
lowing the bath the child will usually
take his longest nap. A strong, healthy
baby may sleep three or four hours
after his bath, or if quite young may
wake up long enough to take food
once.
The child will take hearty meal at
two o'clock and again at four o'clock,
but after the midday rest is over the
baby cannot be expected to sleep much
during the afternoon. If he is to
sleep at night it is not desirable that
he should sleep after four o'clock in
the afternoon. This time should be
spent in some gentle amusement which
will keep the child awake so that he
will be ready to go to sleep at six
O'Clock. 1t is easy to teach him to
form the habit of being awake be-
tween these hours.
Nothing is more injurious to the
health of little child or more detri-
mental to his nervous system than the
habit which some form of turning
night into day. A healthy child which
has regularly and ematical1y been
fed during the day will sleep all night,
waking only once or twice for food.
Children, like all little animals,
should be handled as little as posi-
BILE in warm weather or at any time
during their infancy. The heat of the
mothers or the nurses body is always
irritating to child of sensitive nerves.
Let the baby form the habit of toss
ing about on a shawl spread on the
ground, where he can take care of him
self, or, if he is older, of playing on
a pile of clean sand brought in and
emptied in a huge box for the pur-
pose. The contact with the earth will
bring vigor and strength. The old
story of the giant Antaeus, who
drew his strength from the earth, was
no idle fable. So did Antaeus, and so
does every son and daughter of man
gain vigor and health from the touch
of Mother Earth, and in proportion
as they are taken away by pride and
lifted on soft cushions away from that
health-giving touch do they lose
health and life.

Senator TiIlman Makes a Sensational Adj
dress at Marinette, yYis.-Disfranchfse-
ment of Negroes EuIogized.

Milwaukee, Aug. 5.-A Sentinel spe-
cial from Marinette, Wis, says:
United States Senator Ben amin F.
Tillman, of South Carolina, addressed
a large audience here on the race
question from southern standpoint
One of the features of his remarks
was a plea in justification of lynch
ing. I'm Wisconsin you have $4,000
black men," said he. 'Why don't you
try the bleaching process and exter-
inmate them by intermarrying? The
idea is repugnant to you. In South
Carolina we have 100000 blacks and
$4,000 whites. The carpetbaggers,
the niger and the southern scala
ways and scoundrels ruled us after
the war until they had stolen every
thing that there was in the state,
then we went with our shotguns to
the polls and took it away from them.
All men are not created equal and the
'niggers' are not fit to vote. Come
what may, the white people of the
south will govern their own country"
Mr.. Tillman made an eloquent plea
in justification of lynching, saying
that southern women could not be
brought into court to testify to their
shame and degradation before jury
for the purpose of convicting beast.
His reference to the sanctity of the
southern household and the southern
women and his remarks on lynching
were heartily applauded. He closed
with an impassioned statement to the
effect that the white people of the
south would remain on top Gin spite
of the DEVIL and if necessary he and
his brethren were ready to take down
their shotguns again.
