Condition of the Negroes I'm
proving.
Daily Picayune.


The Chicago Record of Jan. 2,
prints a long communication from
Booker Washington, the negro
leader in civilizations, in which he
sets forth the condition of the
American negroes at the opening
of the twentieth century. he says:
Within the last few months it
has been my privilege to examine,
by personal visit into the condl-
ton of my race in nearly every
Southern State. l have seen the
people in their homes, on their
farms, in the shop, in the factory,
in the mine, in their stores, in the
schools, in the churches, in the
jails. in the penitentiaries. and L
have talked with the white people
who were once their masters and
are now their neighbors.
After this inspection, combined
with my experience and my obser-
walton in the heart of the 'black
belt of the South through a per-
iod of nineteen years, L have nc
hesitation in asserting that the
beginning of the twentieth centu
nv shows that there is constan
progress-progress that is tangl

Anyone who has daily 'opportu

Now d
Flourishing Town.

Bona is the capital OF the Congo
Free State. 1t is so miles from the
mouth of the river. Fifteen years ago
Bona was nothing but a rocky hill at
the base of which stretched a great
marsh, the prolific source of tropical
fevers A great change has been
wrought in the appearance and condi-
lions of Bona. A number of long
streets have been built over the hill.
The height has been dug down and
leveled so that it is no longer difficult
to reach it from the bank of the river
The marshes have been drained, beau
tiful little parks now flourish, and the
Bona of today is smiling, flourishing
town. Piers extend out into the river,
and vessels from Europe tie up at
these iron structures and discharge
their cargoes directly into the little
cars that are pulled by small steam
engines along the main street of Bona.
The popularity of this steam tram
way is that it makes no charge to any

At Neddy's searching "Why?''

A Woman In the Case.
BY D. A. CHAUNCEY.


Copyright 1901: by Daily Story Pub. Coz
AS usual there was woman in the
case-and she cast the decisive vote
which determined that Richard Mont
gomery should not go to the United
States Senate. Everybody will recall
that famous fight for the senatorship.
1t was the fiercest of all the contests
ever waged in the legislature of the
state
1t had promised to be very tame af-
fair at first. The party had a clear ma
jority and the caucus would decide it.
The machine" had a firm grip on the
situation, and it had been decided
weeks before the legislature convened
that Michael McInerny should have the
place. McInerny was a wealthy and
reputable business man, closely allied
to the machine" and liberal con-
tributor to the party campaign funds.
The caucus promised to be a cut
and-dried affair, until Richard Mont
gomery announced himself a candi-
date. Montgomery was man of great
inherited wealth, highly educated,
still in his thirties and full of new the
cries concerning the science of gov
eminent With all his means he had
thrown himself into the practice of
law dlt6T MS SouCdlAOh
with an energy that would have done
credit to a man driven by necessity,
and he had attained a commanding
position at the bar.
The party management had got into
the attitude of a sort of close corpo-
ration. 1t was this fact that led to the
candidacy of Montgomery for The SEN
ate. Those who were on the outside
of the organization had resolved to
make a fight on the ms" and had
prevailed on Montgomery to stand as
candidate because OF his reputation,
ability and wealth.
1t looked at first like a hopeless af-
fair. The machine apparently had the
situation copper-riveted. But Mont
gomery took hold of the matter with
a vim, and in few days the party
leaders beheld their fences going down
on all sides.
Two days before the caucus the fight
had become so nearly even that there
were predictions that there would be

Hush, dear child, lie still and s1umber.

All without thy care and payment;
All thy wants are well supplied.

And became a child Ike thee.
Soft and easy is thy cradle.
Coarse and hard thy Savior lay.
When his birthplace stable.
And his softest bed was hay
Was there nothing but a manager

To receive the heavenly Stranger?
Did they thus affront their Lord?
See the joyful shepherds round him,
Telling wonders from the sky;
Where they sought him, there they found
him.
With his virgin-mother by.
Twas to save thee child, from dying,
That thy blest Redeemer came;
He by groans and bitter crying
Saved thee from burning flame.
Mayst thou live to know and fear him,
Trust and love him all thy days;
Then go dwell forever near him
See his face and sing his praise.

Probably the customers know that the
government cannot refuse to accept
any coin of the realm, even though it
be of copper, while it would be diff
fcu1t matter to have the coppers ac-
ceptIl anywhere else. 1t is the custom
of the postoffice, too, when it has any
of these coppers on hand, to give them
out in change, instead of giving an odd
1-cent stamp, when necessary to make
the requisite change. The banks OF
the city frequently get the copper PEN
MES in one way and another, but it
has not been their policy to ever give
out pennies in change The banks
now, as always, throw on the odd cent
or the odd cents and charge up as
5 cents the odd or cents When
pennies get into the bank they are
placed in the vault and allowed to ac-
cumulate. If the banks of Butte put
into circulation all the copper pennies
they have accumulated there would be
quite a sprinkling of copper pennies
in Butte. without the necessity of the
importation of a car load or two OF
them Every visitor to Butte from the
east, and almost every Butte man re-
turning from a trip east, brings back
in his pocket one or more copper pen
coppers now on hand in the city ready
to be put into active circulation as
soon as some merchant advertises that
he will give pennies out in change at
his store. There will be general re-
greet when the copper cent gains its
foothOld in Butte, but it is bound to
come, and when here it can never be
eradicated. But it is bound to come.
1t is more persistent than the Russian
thistle The copper penny has nearly
completed the conquest of the great
west. From Chicago it travelled to
Omaha and ST. Paul. Firmly intrenched
in ST. Paul as basis of operations, it
has been slowly but surely conquering
it's way toward Montana. 1t flooded
Western Montana and then penetrated
the Dakotas. Information is that 1t
has gained a foothold in Eastern Mon
tana- and can be seen occasionally as
far into Montana as Billings and Liv-
1ngston. Furthermore, the copper
penny jumped from the east clear to
the western coast and can be found in
several of the coast towns. Thus the
small remaining territory in which the
copper penny is still unknown is
threatened by invasion from both the
east and the west. Butte will have
to make up its mind to accept it later
if not sooner.

A "sneezIne Plant

There is a vine plant. native OF
tropical regions, which bears trans
planting and will grow indoors, but
there is one thing which it cannot
stand, and that is dust. When the
breathing pores become choked by
dust, the gases accumulate within the
leaf for time, and then are forcibly
expelled in an audible paroxysm OF
coughing and sneezing which makes
the leaf tremble violently. At the
same time, the whole plant becomes
red in the face, so to speak. through
the sinking in of the green chlorophyn
grains and the appearance of parti-
cles of red coloring matter on the sur
face. The Eutada is sometimes culti-
waited as house plant Sweeping the
room is very apt to set the poor plant
a-coughing, to the intense astonisn-
ment of persons who are unfamiliar
with its peculiarities-
