ENCOUR4 AGING.

It is very encouraging that in the
 State of Alabama a lyncher has been convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. This good work was done in the
 town of Wetumpeka, and the defendant
 was George Howard, one of the best known farmers in that section of the
 State, who admitted that he was member of the mob which lynched Rob- ert White, negro, several months ago. And it is further encouraging that the State prosecutor will not stop with the conviction of Howard. The cases against half a dozen others ac- cused of being members of the mob are ready for trial, while others who are alleged to have taken part in the lynching have left the country.
 It is beginning to be seen that un- less lynching can be suppressed it's prevalence may bring about worse state of things than existed before it became so popular The facts show that it has not operated as a deterrent against the commission of the particu- lar crimes in the punishment of which mob law has taken the place of the courts of justice. Nothing could be more conducive to disorder or to dis respect for law and authority than this brutal method of averaging the crimes of the negroes. It not only inspires the negro with furious resentment against the whites but brutalizes and degrades the whites in the communities where these mobs take the law into their own hands.

l The Chinaman, MT. Ho Vow explains, | does not take to machinery. In cotton
 mills operated by coolies goods are not | produced as cheaply as the same com-
 modities in Massachusetts. It requires | 2,200 Chinese to do the same work in a Shanghai cotton factory which, in the United States, would be done by 300 or 400 persons.
 MT. Ho Vows theory is that the use
 of Chinese labor in the United States would so enormously increase the vol
 ume of wealth that industry would
 spring up on every hand. The presence
 of the Chinese laborer would not, he ar
 gues, affect the wages of the white
 workman. The Chinaman would be
 paid only what he is worth--What he
 earns. The wages of the white work
 man are now determined by the same
 standard. It is admitted that the Chi nese hoard their money and that conse-
 quently it does not circulate in the country and stimulate business. MT. Ho Vow even comedies that the major ity of Chinese send their gold to China. That, he contends, does not produce a scarcity of money in the United States. The gold comes back in time from China on new missions of commerce. The money sent by Chinese to their native land, in his opinion, does more to spread western civilization among the Chinese than all the missionaries consuls and soldiers who may cross the Orient. This money brings comfort to those who receive it. Tt leavens the common people, and in leavening them lifts up the whole Empire. It draws their minds to your country, it makes them ready for the acceptance of your methods" As far as sending money out of the United States is concerned, MT. Ho Vow points out that the prac- tice is common among Europeans who have settled in the United States. It is also alleged by way of further ob- jection that Chinese in this country live in colonies and are not assimilated The same objection could be made, ac- cording to the Chinese Consul-General to other nationalities. "All your cit ies,' he says, "are but punches of col onies."
 This is ingenious, if not entirely con It Is evident that Wu Ting Fang and Ho Vow are we'll represent ing China in this country.

AN INTER EsrING poss7B1I1rY.

| It is not at all surprising to read that meeting of Maryland Democratic leaders was held recently at Baltimore to discuss the availability of Rear Ad-
 miral Schley as a candidate for the Presidency in 1904 and that the opinion was almost. or quite, universal that if the result of the court of inquiry was as favorable as expected, he would be the man to run. Ex-Senator German was not present, but it was understood that he was represented by what was practically proxy The fact that Schley has no political record, and is not identified within the party with either of the factions which have rent it asunder, is considered by some of the old timers as very strong point. No active canvass will be made until the judgment of the court of inquiry is in, and Schley has gone upon the retired list. Then, the talk is, that Maryland will set the ball rolling and see how the rest of the country responds.
 If Schley has the enemies he is cred- tied with having they have certainly done we'll for him. They have helped to make him as popular man as there Is in the country. If his friends don't injudicously undo the good work that has been done for him he may be an important factor in the next presiden- tial campaign.

4 GEM or THE OCUAN,

It isn't yet entirely certain that Columbia is the gem of the ocean, but she is certainly a gem of the ocean. There was mo race" yesterday because there wasn't wind enough to enable the yachts to finish within the time limit of five and one half hours, but when the contest ended the Columbia was a good quarter of a mile ahead.
 There will be another attempt to- day, and it is to be hoped that there will be at least wind enough to blow the yachts over on time. Money can make the mare go but it takes wind to make the yachts go, and all the mill lions of the yachtsmen can't raise the wind

MORE ING ENIOUS ARG UUTEN7

When the able and smooth Wu Ting
 Fang, Chinese minister to the United States, talks about the Chinese ques-
 ton, he says things that indicate to
 the thoughtful that there are at least
 two sides to that question. Now comes
 MT. Ho Vow, Wu Ting F'ang's brother
 and imperial consul-general for China
 in the United States, and says things
 which are calculated to make the
 thoughtful think still more He as-
 serts in the North American Review
 that the United States cannot control
 the markets of the Orient without Chi
 nese labor. He does not regard Chi
 nese labor as cheap labor. On the con- trary he pronounces 1t very dear.
 Measured by the results which are ob-
 tained from fixed outlay, America, in his opinion, is the cheapest laboring country in the world" The fabrics, the oils and other products which China could and should produce in abundance are, he says, shipped to China by American producers and
 'sold at prices at which it would be useless for Chinese to attempt to com pete" Your sawed timber" observes MT. Ho Vow, lis laid down in the Straits Settlements for two cents per running foot. China, with labor at from 8 to 20 cents q day, could not cut 1t for that price. If it were a fact that the cheap labor of China was the for midabe competition it is said to be, you would have no foreign commerce. All the factories in the world would center in China, which is as rich in natural resources, in deposits of min- erals and materials and in agricultural potentalities, as any country on the globe" After all, according to the ar gument of this wel-informed Chinese writer, the test of labor is efficiency | The American, by superior methods | and better tools, will do more work | than twenty had laboring Chinese. |

St. Paul has contracted for the burial of it's pauper dead for the ensuing year < at $1.05 for adults and 75 cents for in- fants, the rate in the preceding year having been s3 for adults and $2 for infants. The estimated cost of the burial, including a stained pine coffin, is $S. Yet at these prices there is profit in the gruesome business for the con- tractor He Is required to honor requi- sitions from the State University for bodies, receiving for these such amounts as may be agreed upon. Another source of revenue is from the poor rel atives' of the pauper dead, who often come forward at the last moment to save the dead from the disgrace" of a pauper's grave. With the same num- Der of deaths this year as last the con- tractor would receive about $554 for each burial. These facts are in them selves a commentary on the needless funeral expenses incurred by poor peo- pie for the qualification of sentiment and pride.

Edwin Hinkley Barbour professor of geology in the University of Nebraska, thinks the geysers in Yellowstone Park are disappearing. "The rapid decline < of the geyser phenomena in the Yellow stone National Park" he says, "seems to be but little understood, but to those who will visit the spot frequently the Manages seem startling and to the geol- ogist alarmingly rapid. If one may judge from impressions, it seems safe to assume that if the decline in geyser activity noted during the last four years should continue for the coming eight or ten years the features which most impress the geologist will have disappeared. As warning, every ge- ologlst who intends visiting the park should not postpone the trip year, but should visit it at once"

The London Daily Mail finds that 53.S miles an hour Is the highest speed made on any railroad whose trips ex- Eceed 300 miles in length, and the record for this class of railroad trips belongs to the train running between New York and Buffalo. In runs of from two hun- dred to three hundred miles Great Brit ain leads. For runs between one hun Hdred and two hundred miles the South ern Railroad of France excels. Tn the class of runs less than one hundred miles long the two roads between Phil adelphia and Atlantic City easily lead. The Reading on the run down from Camden to Atlantic City makes some times 666 miles an hour and the Penn -qsylvania 64.3 miles. These runs, how ever, are mostly down grade.

@ It is interesting to notice that Sum-
 day closing is making progress in
 wicked France. On a recent Sunday
 some one thousand shopkeepers, assist
 ants and other employees marched through the ancient city of Mines,
 bearing banners with the inscription ArBuy nothing on Sunday" Many of
 the shops were closed, and proprietors iof those that were not were asked to follow the good example. Most of them gave favorable response at once by putting up their shutters. Throughout the demonstration not single disor- derly incident occurred. The Sunday closing movement has made big strides Throughout France recently, and the effects may be seen even in Paris.

THE BABY,s FIRST SUMMER.

fortunate is the city baby who is
porn IN September or October for then
ne Will have but one summer to pass
through While his powers of resistance
are very low. By the end of the sec
ond year the child should have devel-
oped considerable strength of constitu-
tlon, and ought, if properly cared for,
to triumph over many evil influences
to which the younger infant is very apt
to succumb.
Inc primary cause of infant mortal
1ty IN cities during midsummer is the
intense heat, and next comes. in the
case of bottle-fed children, the giving
OF indigestible food or of milk which
mas begun to change. The baby's life,
IN other words, depends upon his be-
Ing kept cool and being properly fed.
These matters are of such import
ance that in most of our cities the
health boards issue each summer leaf
lets containing directions for the care
o: The baby, and distribute them
among all the tenement-house dwellers.
In these leaflets, mothers are
warned particularly to keep the baby
and all it's surroundings absolutely
clean. The child should be sponged or
batned once or twice every day in
luAewarm water, dried by wrapping in
soft towel, and then put into clean,
dry clothes. The clothing should be
hSht and loose and changed often.
lhe baby should never sleep in the
clothes which it has worn during the
day, nor wear in the day those which

sible, and a daily ride into the coun-
try on trolley car, or an excursion on
the water, if there is any large body
OF it accessible, will do more, per-
haps, thaL anything else to keep the
little one in health.
1t should never be forgotten that
baby needs water to drink, and plenty
of it, in hot weather. The water
should be boiled, then poured into

nursing baby has an immense ad-
vantage over one that is bottle-fed,
and on no account should weaning be
attempted just before or during the hot
weather. If artificial feeding is neces-
sary, the physician should be con-
suited as to the choice of food, for
among the many kinds on the market
some are good and some are not.
A baby's diet will be considered
more fully in another article on the

DUST FROM THE CLOUDS.

Baron Nordens1jold, upon finding
on the SHOWS of Greenland dust COM
posed of the elements Invariably asso-
ciated with meteorites, and of uncom
mon occurrence in terrestrial matter,
concluded that cosmic dust is falling
imperceptibly but continually upon the
earth. Recentspectrosco examination
of many varieties of dust collected in
England and elsewhere has an inter-
esting bearing on Nordenskjold's con-
clusions. Among the constituents Of
dust floating in the air are lead, silver.
copper, rubidium, gallium, indium.
thallium, nickel, manganese and so
forth. Many Of these can be traced
to their sources in factory chimneys
and fues. Volcanic dust has char
acteristic features, and dust from
clouds, collected either by itself or in
hail, snow, sleet or rain, exhibits a
regularity of composition not seen in
other varieties of dust Iron, nickel,
calcium, copper, potassium, and sodium
always appear in it in about the same
proportions. Some dust that fell near
Dublin in 1897 resembles meteorites in
its composition, is attracted by a mag
net and seems to be of cosmic origin.

Collectors OF Rare Volumes Have q Hor-
ror of the Borrow ers.
A noted book collector of New York,
one whose library is filed with some
of the rarest treasures of the biblio-
phile's heart, recently complained of
the total lack of the collectors spirit
among literary men. 81 was recently
asked by a literary man to send him
copy of an extremely rare book that I
have on my shelves to aid him in some
work that he is doing. Now, 1 want to
help him all can, and if he will come
to my house he can have the use of the
book as long as he wants it, under the
most favorable circumstances. But
send him the book-no, under no cir
cumstances! 1t is not the fact that it
is worth hundreds of dollars anywhere
in the market. but the fact that if
damaged or lost it would be utterly ir-
replacable that makes the collector
shudder. If it were lost or spoiled Mr..
Literary Man would send an abject let
ter expressing his deep contrition at
an untoward accident, perhaps with
check inclosed, but of the real horror
of the situation l think he and his
tribe could have no inkling."
