Major Sylvester's photograph gallery at

ness, and people who want to patronize it
may do so by showing themselves to be

the first subject. He is the man who was
arrested Saturday by Detective Browne

the pocket of Mrs. Elizabeth Hughes, near
the corner Of 9Th and d streets. John was
not well dressed nor was he particular
about his appearance, when he reached the
gallery. He took his seat in front of the
camera; was photographed and expressed
surprise that he was only required to oc
cupy the chair a few seconds.
Annie Thomas. colored, who had been ar
rested by Detectives Tyser and Trumbo for
alleged shoplifting at Kanns and the Bon
Marche, came next.

Petition Of SieepIess Clerks.

An unusual piece of street car rail Is
causing much annoyance to number of
postal clerks, and letter has been written
to the District Commissioners by one of
their number telling their troubles. Ac-
cording to this letter, many postal clerks
use building on the corner of Missouri
avenue and Az street as a dormitory. Some
OF the occupants sleep days and some sleep
nights. 1t is stated that when the street
cars round the curve at this corner an I'M
usual amount of noise is made. The noise
sounds like hNmmering. and the postal
clerks have MAKE a special examination of
the tracks at this curve and have discov-
cred that there is a piece of rail connected
with the curve which is not used They
believe that if this rail is taken up their
siumbers will be unbroken and the Com
mlsSioners are petitioned to act in the mat
ter.

Improvement in Methods and Ve-
hicIes of DEMONSTRATIONS

The Agricultural Department is preparing
to publish an exhaustive report by Edward
q. Warde, jr., and Edward S. Holmes, jr.,
on truck farming and the transportation OF
fruits and vegetables in the United States.
The report covers the following points:
% A description of the transportation OF
fruits and vegetables from southern truck
farms to northern markets.
(2J A description of the California fruit
industry and the movement of California
fruits to interior points and Atlantic sea-
board cities.
CD Freight rates and refrigerator
charges on perishable products in all I'M
portant sections of the country.
reviewing the general growth of these
interests the report says:
Truck farming in the United States has
been recognized as a distinct agricultural
industry for a period of about forty years.
The increasing population of the cities and
consequent demand for greater guam
tity and larger variety of vegetables at all
seasons Of the year, the changed conditions
and the surplus of labor in the south after
the close of the civil war and the building
of many thousands of miles of new rail-
ways have given this industry an impetus
which has caused it to develop with re-
markable activity, and large areas through
out the entire country are now devoted
almost exclusively to the growing of what
is known as garden truck. This is espe-
cially true of all southern states, where
from late winter until early autumn thou
sands and thousands of acres are under
cultivation to supply northern markets
with fruits and vegetables, there being
hardly northern city of any size which is
not receiving it's out of-SeaSon garden
truck The southern planter has made
new use of his farms.
Many of the improved facilities which
have been adopted by the freight depart
ments of railroads are directly attrib-
utable to the handling of pershable agri-
cultural products. Routes have been short
ened, through schedules adopted motive
power increased, and by the use of ventia-
tion, refrigeration, speed and quick deliv-
cry the railroads are enabled to place the
truck in the northern markets in as good
condition when it left the southern farm,
many hundreds of miles.
Such thing as particular season for
any kind of vegetables in our principal
markets is at this time practically UNI
known, and it is now possible to draw upon
the different sections of the country and
receive at any season of the year nearly ali
the standard varieties of vegetables. In
the late autumn and early spring Florida
and the southern states furnish the supply
for the northern markets. until the ad-
vancing season (Which moves northward
at the rate of about fifteen miles a day)
natures the crops through the eastern and
central states; these states supply the mid
summer and autumn markets until the
froStS of winter once more compel return
to the south, where fresh crop is at the
command of the market"

A dispatch from Pekin, dated August 4.
says: American and European residents
assert that the demeanor of the Pekin
populace is constantly becoming more I'M
friendly and that as the allied troops de-
part the Chinese resume their old habits
of jostling and cursing foreigners In the
streets
The legation defenses are now approach
ing completion. Generally speaking, they
consist of brick walls from fifteen to
twenty feet high and from three to four
feet thick, loopholed for rifles.
The ministers of the powers ignored the
plan for a uniform system of defense sub
mitted by the generals, and consequently
the governments are working independ-
emily.
1t is the policy Of the ministers to avoid
conspicuous work of defense, lest these
should prove an irritant. provoking instead
of preventing hOstilites. Most Of the en-
gineers have recommended stronger de-
lenses than the ministers will sanction.
Major Edgar B. Robertson of the 9Th
Infantry, who commands the United States
legation guard, has written to Mr. Rock
hill to protest against what he calls 1.-The
defense1ess position Of our legation" rep
resenting that 1t Is exposed to attack on
four sides. Mr.. Rockhin has replied that
1t is not intended to. maintain a fortress,
but merely a wall for protection against
unexpected mob violence. The wall is
made of brick, out OF difference to Chinese
pride.
The French and Italians still remain
here. The non-fulfllment OF the agree
ment to evacuate public places in fort
night causes some Inconvenience to the
military authorities Only the German
barracks have been completed. The French
barracks have hardly been begun. The

to give up comfortable quarters and to

TILLMAN UPH0LDS LYNCHING.
Says Women should Not BE Degraded
In Court.

\ special from Narinette, Wis. says
United States Senator Benjamin f
Tillman of South Carolina addressed
large audience on the race question from
a southern standpoint. One of the fea-
lures of his remarks was a plea In justifi-
cation of lynching.
I'm Wisconsin you have 5000 black men,"
he said. why don't you try the bleach
ing process and exterminate them by inter-
marrying? The idea is repugnant to you.
In South Carolina we have 100. 900 blacks
and $4,000 whites. The carpet baggers,
the Niger and the southern scalawags
and scoundreis ruled US after the war until
they had stolen everything that there was
In the state. Then we went with our shot
guns 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"
lie condemned Booker Washington's
scheme of educating the negro along in
dustrial lines as an attempt TO place him
on an equality with the white artisan
something that would intensity race hatred
in the south. He said that among the
100000 slaves during the civil war there
We're more Christians than there are today
among the 100000 blacks in the south
Il do not want to uphold slavery" he
continued L tEanh COO there are no
slaves today under the stars and stripes -
Mr.. Tillman made eloquent plea in
justification of lynching. saying that south
ern women could not be brought into court
10 testify to their shame and degradation
before jury for the purpose of convicting
a bea0
His reference to the sanctity of the south
ern household and the southern women and
his remarks on lynching were heartily ap-
plauded. He closed with an impassioned
statement to the effect that the white peo-
pie of the South would remain on top 'in
spite of the DEVIL and declared that IL
necessary he and his brethren were ready
to take down their shotguns again.
