New York Brokerage Firm Goes Out
of Business.
New York, April 22.--John Kelly & Co,
stock brokers, made an assignment to-
day for the benefit of creditors "Honest
John" Kelly is the senior member of the
firm. The company has been doing bust
ness more than aIyear. 1t had no mem
bership in the Consolidated or Stock ex-
changes, but transacted all its business
through other brokerage firms on COM
mission. Messrs. Levy and Unger, attor-
neys for the assignors, issued this state
ment for. Mr.. Kelly to-day:
"Mr. Kelly has made heavy sacrifices
to tide over the affairs of the firm. Out
side of these transactions he does not
owe a dollar to anyone. The firm was
obliged to suspend payment, and although
there is no doubt will eventually pay 100
cents on the dollar and that within a
short time, when it will resume business,
1t was deemed advisable in the best in
terests of the creditors and all concerned
to make a voluntary general assignment.
This viii prevent a sacrifice of the as
sets and give them time to ascertain Just
what is the exact condition of affairs. The
liabilities are not known. We may add
that a number of Mr.. Kellys friends have
offered him financial assistance, but Mr.
Kelly is resolved to adjust the matter
through his own resources"

TO REFOREST THE COUNTRY.
Secretary wilson's Arbor Day Speech
at Washington.

Washington, April 22.-Arbor day was
celebrated here by the planting of two
memorial trees in the department of ag-
ricuture grounds. The trees are to COM
memorate the work of the late Secretary
of Agriculture j. M. Rusk and the late
Assistant Secretary f. NJ. Wlnetts. Sec
retary Wilson. Prof. Galloway, director Of
the bureau of plant industry, and Mr.
Subworth, one of the tree experts of the
department, made addresses.
Secretary Wilson said:
1T is our privilege and our duty 20
take steps for the reforesting of our coun-
try. Educators throughout the centuries
have paid no attention to this subject.
only within the last few years have any
of our educational institutions established
schools for instruction along these line.
1t is within our power to do something to
right the great wrong that have been
perpetuatrated against the trees in the
past. We have gathered into our depart
ment most of the scientists of the coun-
try who have knowledge of trees. We
have set about teaching the people how to
propagate trees from the seeds 1t is our
intention 20 propagate every fine tree in
America and furnish them, through con-
gressional distribution and otherwise, 10
the localities where they are most at
home; and II IS also our intention 90 bring
seeds and plants of valuable trees from
foreign countries and introduce them into
suitable localities in our own"

THE NEGRO DEATH RATE.
why Their Increase Is Less Than
That of the Whites.

New York, April 22.-The American
Missionary Association made public to-
day a report from one of it's representa-
tives in Nashville, Tenn, concerning the
death rate among the negroes of the
South. The report states that in ten rep
resentative Southern cities for the past
five years, the death rate of the whites
has been 20 in 1000, that of the negroes
80 in 1000. The South is said not to have
shown much concern about the rapid in
crease of the negro since the CENSUS Of
1900 made it appear that in the ten years
previous the black race increased 12.2
per cent. and whites 1891 per cent The
death rate of the negro is greatest under
the age of 10, least at the higher ages.
The race is subject to a higher death
rate than the whites from the following
diseases:
Consumption at all ages, but especially
between the ages of Is and As.
Second. All diseases of infants. The ne
gro mother too often does not know how
to take care Of her infant.
Third. Pneumonia at all ages.
Fourth. Scrofula and venereal diseases
seem also on the increase.

MUCH APATHY IN ALABAMA.
Light Vote Expected in Convention
Election To-day.

Montgomery, Ala, April 22.-The cleo
tion of delegates to the constitutional
convention and the vote on the question
of for convention or no convention, /"
takes place in Alabama tomorrow.
Indications are that a light vote will
be polled. 1t is expected that at least
ten, if not more, of the sixty-siX counties
will vote mo convention"
In the others the convention will prob
ably carry, but by small majority.
Much apathy is reported, due largely to
the fact that the negro for the past sew
eral years has ceased to be factor IN
Alabama politics, has voluntarily remain
ed away from the polls, and in a meas
ure, removed the feeling so long domi-
nant that he was a menace to good gov
ernment. Strangely enough this feeling
of apathy is greatest in the black belt,
where the negro had until a few years
ago been a great menace and a source
of anxiety 10 the whites

WILMINGTON RATES TOO HIGH.

Washington. April 22.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day decided
that the through rates on lumber from
Wilmington, N. c., to Philadelphia, Jersey
City and Boston, so far as they exceed
the sum of rates from Wilmington to
Norfolk or Portsmouth, and from the lat
ter points to the Northern cities mentioned
are unjust and wrong. prejudiciaP' to
Wilmington shippers The case decided
is the Hilton Lumber Company against
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company and others. 1t is held that such
rates are in violation of sections /, and
8 of the interstate commerce act. The
commission further decides that the rule
that while the aggregate rates should in
crease the rate per ton per mile should
decrease as distance increases is not re-
uuired by the statute and is subject to
qualification and exceptions.
The commission says:
"Divisions of joint rates are usually less
than the corresponding locals, and almost
without exception not greater, and while
a case may arise in which such a division
with propriety could be made greater
than the local or straight rate, no such
