IMTEACHA EST OF MOTT.
A Me- ting of Ninth District Members Called
For To morrow.

A meeting of members of the Legisla-
ture from the Ninth Judicial district was
called for yesterday afternoon at three
O'Clock TO consider the question of i'm
peaching Solicitor Marshall L. Mott. The
mofieting, however, was not held some of
the members not having been able to get
certain evidence for which they say they
have written.
Another meeting is called for Thursday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
The friends of Mr.. Mott declare that
there is nothing in the charges against
him and express the opinion that he viii
not be impeached. Others say that the
charges against him can be easily proven
to the satisfaction OF anyone and that
the only thing that can prevent impeach-
ment will be lack OF time on the part Of
the Legislature.

TEA DRINKING In THE SOUTH
The Quantity Consumed Has Greatly
Increased During the Last
Few Years.

"The increased consumption of tea
is one of the interesting phases of
modern commercial life in the SOUTH
said drummer for a New Orleans
house, according to the Times-Dem-
ocrat, land you would be surprised
at the vast change which has taken
place in this respect. The fact is that
during the past few years the changes
in the tea business have amounted to
a revolution. have just returned
from a trip on the road, and touched
some of the more remote places in
Texas and Mississippi, and while 1
have been out before in the same ter
ritory, was surprised at the in
creased number of tea drinkers.
up to few years ago in the more
remote sections of the country tea
was used almost exclusively in the
sick room. Tea had to be bought in
the country from the druggist. The
man who dealt in general merchan-
disc rarely thought of selling tea, I'M
less he had medicine counter in his
store. Tea was something finicky,
something to be given to the con-
valescing patient, along with crackers,
tasteless broth, and things of that
sort.
"This is not the case now. Tea is
bought in rather large quantities by
country merchants, and the country
folk use it for other than sick room
purposes. 1t is extensively used
throughout the country.
"There is still more interesting
fact in connection with the growth
of the tea trade. Negroes are now
great tea consumers. You would be
surprised at the amount of tea con-
sumed by this element of the popu-
lation. Using tea is new thing with
the negro element, but since they have
gotten into the tea drinking habit
they have vastly increased the con-
sumption of the product. Yes, they
have about quit using sassafras roots
for tea making purposes, and this
rather primitive drink is now used for
its medicinal properties. 1t has ex-
changed places with the other tea.
"These are some of the reasons for
the increased consumption of tea.
There are, of course, many other spe-
cial and general causes for the new
demand, and altogether the changes
form rather interesting subject SO

RUNNING EXPRESS TRAINS.

| Cleveland Moffett tells in st. Mich
driver. There followed some talk
about fast runs, and all agreed that
| for out-and-out excitement there is
nothing in railroading to equal a
mans sensations in one of those mad
bursts of speed that are ventured
upon now and then by locomotives in
record breaking trials. The heart
never pounds with apprehension in a
real accident as it does through inn
minent fear of an accident. And so
great is the nerve-strain and brain
strain upon the men who drive our
ordinary fiiers that three hours at a
stretch is as much as the stanchest
engineer can endure running at so or
so miles an hour. And the same is
true of firemen, and, indeed, of loco

pears, when an engineer has faced
the rush of one of these terrible fliers
to the end of his relay, say $50 miles,
you will sometimes see him climb down
from the cab weak and unstrung.
He has been under tension there at
the throttle like that of an athlete
springing from the high trapeze, or
that of pilot as he turns his craft
into some furious rapids, only his
tension has lasted for hours. What
wonder, then, that three days are
counted full weeks work for the
men who drive such trains as the EN-
pire State express! Every alternate
day they must spend in resting, and
even so it is only the flower of a com.
pany's engineers who can stand the
strain at all.

Gals, "the problem of higher speeds
than we have at present involves
more than boiler power and strength
of machinery and the swiftness of
turning wheels. 1t involves the ques-

build engines that will run $50 miles
an hour, but where shall we find the
men to drive them? Already we have
nearly reached the limit of what the
eyes and nerves will endure. l think

THE AMERICAN AN OCTOROON.
According to Statistics the Average
Adult Is About One-Eighth
Negro.

The average adult American is a
statistical octoroon, says Everybody's
Magazine. If the blood in the veins of
all our people, white and black, were
pooled and redistributed, each person
would have about seven parts white
and one part negro blood. The white
strain in him, moreover, is by no means
purely American. White strains of
foreign origin, derived from Germany,
Ireland, Scandinavia, Canada, Great
Britain and the countries of southern
Europe, are collectively more power
full in his composition than is the ne
gro strain. Thus going back only one
generation, we find him to be a com
posite, the creation of widely differ
ing bloods and nationalities. The peo-
Piles of the earth, from the Congo un-
der the equator to the North Cape of
Europe, have contributed, either i'm
mediately or remotely, to his compo-
sition. But with it all we find the An
glo-Saxon strain the dominant one,
His political institutions, his laws, his
social conditions, and his mental char
acteristics, his power of initiative, and
his independence of thought'and action
are Anglo-Saxon, sharpened and in
tensified by fresh contact with nature
under new and untried conditions. 1t
is strange and a gratifying thing to
witness, in connection with this mix
ture of blood, the complete dominance
of the Anglo-Saxon strain, and it ar

as well as for the welfare of the coun-
