is our trade which cannot be confined be- hind the oceans that wash our shoresi and that pushes outward with irresistible force. With 1t go American ideas. By Its impact upon other nations they are led to study our social and political or ganlzation, our education. our technical equipment. These are the things, and not cannon. that are making the Amer lcan foreign conquests In which judi cious patriotism has most reason to de- light And our chief duty is to see to It that we have something at home worth sending abroad; that our government be- come as superior as our goods; our prin- cipies as admirable as our inventions. The extension of sovereign rights over territory Is a wholly secondary matter. As we see so clearly on the isthmus to- day, the American name may be hon ored and honorable, the American flag full high advanced,' without having q single possession except self-possession, moderation and a strict regard for our international obligations and the rights nf others.

Russia's Economies

The Scotsman.
 Notwithstanding the severely repress- i've measures adopted by the St. Peters, burg authorities to prevent the Russian press from making any allusions to the progress of the famine or, for that mat ter, to anything calculated to inform the outside world as to the, deplorable eco- homie state of the country and the fn- creasing intensity of the industrial crisis items of news occasionally find their way to the West, which, when pieced together, make it onl'' too plain that the great Muscovite Empire is on the high road to insolvency, and that If it is to be saved from the final plunge a radical transformation will have to be wrought in the principles which are guiding it's policy, both foreign and do- nestle.
 The nation is honeycombed with bank ruptcy from end to end. The great in- dustrial magnates, the powerful land owning nobility, the peasantry, all the classes, in fact, which represent the wealth and energy of the country. are steeped to a greater or less extent in poverty To those who are dependent for their knowledge of the situation on the voluminous reports and statistics issued by the Ministries this account of the situation will doubtless appear ex- aggerated. Yet the picture, gloomy as 1t looks, is not drawn in too broad lines.

A ROOSEVELT SLAVE.
Has a Descendant Who Was Married
 Here in Moutgomery


 Rosa Leigh (Roxie) Lucas, daughter of Duke Culpepper. married to James November 24th, 19ol.
 This simple announcement carries the fact that a descendant of Roosevelt slave was married here in Montgomery The bride Is the servant of Misses Co., r.nne and Mattie Woods. daughter Of Col. Michael L. Woods. For six gener- ations Ter family have been servants of their family.
 A marriage settlement, now in their rcsst ssion, dated June 12. 1799, between William Carroll of Fayetteville, N. C., Mary Aston of Chatham County, N. c. and James Alston, her brother. of the same county. shows that certain slaves witch had been given in trust to James Alston by Colonel Philip Aston, then dceased tho father of Mary and Philip, were secured to Mary Aston free from ct ntrol by her intended husband. Among these servants was a woman named "Sall."
 Mir. Carroll and Miss Aston were mar ried, but early thereafter Mir. Carroll died and Mrs. Carroll married William liar ris.
 About 1920 Mir. and Mrs. Harris moved to Alabama, and settled upon the plan tation known now as the Pickett S1ring place. The late Mrs. Sarah Pick ett and Mrs. Mary Gindrat were daugll- ters of MT. and Mrs. Harris. The Wo- man ''sall." or sallie, mentioned in the
  named Rhody. who had daughter named Mimy, who had a daughter named Sallie This Sallle is now living, and is the grandmother of Rosa, the bride.
 The latter Sallie was born the slave of. Mrs. Gindrat, who gave her in her childhood to her niece, Miss Martha Pickett, now deceased, who married Col onel Woods. and who are the parents or Misses Cornne and Matte Woods:
 It is a coincidence that Col. Woods and Miss Pickett were married June 12, 1855. fffty-six years after the marriage settlement was made between her grand mother and MT. Carroll.
 If will be observed that the original "Salr' was the great-great-great-gr grand mother of Rosa and that Col. Philip All ston was the great-great grandfather of the Misses Woods. How long before the date of the marriage settlement this fam ily of servants belonged to the Aston family is not known.
 It was the boast of these servants that none of them were bought or sold with in their recollection, but that they re mained for generations a part Of the family of their original master and mis- tress
 On the other side James McLemore Is the son of Sallie McLemore, who Is the daughter of Robert Stewart. who be- longed to General Daniel Stewart oi Georgia, Martha Stewart, the daughter of Gen. Daniel Stewart, was the sec ond wife of Major James S.. Bullock whose daughter, Martha, married Theo. dore Roosevelt, whose son, Theodore Roosevelt is now President Of th' Irnited States.
