NEGROES MAKE A PLEA.
The Proposed Division Of the Edu-

RICHMOND, Va, July 24-The Com
mlttee on Education Of the Constitutional
Convention, DR.. McIlwaine presiding.
gave hearing today to leading repre-
sentatives Of the negro race on the ques-
tion of dividing the school fund of the
State between white and colored schools
in proportion to the school taxes collected
from the two races. The speeches were
all well prepared and ably delivered
Members of the committee gave the
speakers the closest hearing and were
much impressed with what they said.
The Rev. ID. II. Bouldin, Of Norfolk
representing the Virginia Baptist State
Convention, presented resolution of the
colored Baptists of the State against the
division of the school fund. The Rev w
F. Graham. who said he represented 250 900
colored Baptists of Virginia and six mil
lion in the South, pleaded for an equal
chance for the negro in education and
claimed that the most vicious negroes
were the most ignorant. He admitted
that the white men In the South were the
negros best friends and did most for
him when in need or trouble.
Giles Jackson, a leading negro lawyer
here. pleaded against the division of the
fund.
The committee will further consider to-
morrow.

1t was May who took the lemonade up to

After going TO sleep the second time she
was awakened by very loud screams,
which came from the back part of the
house. Just then May jumped out of the
bed and cried, oh. gracious. Beatrice
followed after May. The room was quite
dark at the time, but as she got out of

in for eyes in the doorway. just then she
heard a shot and saw flash. She then
saw man standing in the doorway with
a pillowcaSe over his head.

The Steel Strike. Leaders,, Strange
Visit to Wellsyille.

WELLSVILLE, Ohio. July 2.-Theo-
dore Shaffer, President of the Amalga-
mated Association. has taken to DISCUSSES.
To the surprise of the strikers he came
to town disguised as half blind, ragged
tramp. Not more than a half dozen knew
he was here and when the others learned
of it. they wondered what he meant. Shaf-
fer had half hours talk with Vice Pres
ident John Chappelle. and then boarded
the train at East Liverpool for Pittsburg.
IL is surmised from the appended inter-
view with Shaffer that he came to tell
Chappelle not to be too demonstrative

train going home, Shaffer said:

junction will be granted unless our men
resort to violence, unless we coerce and
intimidate men into remaining away from
the mills. If the court grants the order
it will result in the assembling in confer
ence of every prominent labor leader in
the country to consider action on the
matter"
On the train on which Shaffer arrived
at Wellsville this afternoon were nine
non-union men. Five of these men got off
at the mill as the train slowed up. AT the
station the others stepped to the plat
form, Hundredi of strikers were there.
The newcomers declared their intention
of going to work. Half way to the mill
the strikers persuaded" them to go back
to the hotel and talk it over. They re-
mained half hour and then started for
the mill without announcing their de-
cision A crowd followed them with
threats and catcalis. Al the mill they
decided not to go to work, They We're es-

PIRTSBURG, July 24.-Police Inspector

policemen should be needed, even if it Is

non-nnion men. They will positively com
init no violence. they say.
1t would not be surprising if the trusts
should decide to try to operate one or
all of the three idle steel hoop mills in
Pttsburg with non-union men, instead of
making the attempt at the sheet mills in
Mckeesport or Wellsville.
Mahion NJ. Garland, surveyor of the port
of Pittsburg and former President of the
Amalgamated Association, has gone to
New York. presumably to confer with the
heads of the United States Steel Corpora
tion regarding the strike. One story is
that Garland will tell the trust heads on
what terms Shaffer will settle the strike
while another report is that conservative
members of the Amalgamated have asked
Garland to try to settle the strike without

NEW YORK, July 2i.-According to the

of vice among the young is a subject in
vitiug serious consideration. No branch
of the local government comes in closer
touch with the lower classes of city life

An Oily Habit.

There are people who become uncon-
sciously addicted to the butter habit; that
is TO say. they like butter and gradually
eat a little more as the months go by,
until they find thcE have consumed, each
meal. quite a quantity of fat that they
have not vitality enough to properly di-
gest.
This indigested substance causes more
or less catarrh of the stomach and trou-
BILE with the bowels.
The remedy, of course is to largely cut
down the allowance of butter. and for
two or three nights sup nearly quart
of very hot water. just before going to
bed This washes out the stomach and
bowels and gives them renewed vitality.
Then the person should, for few morn
ings at least, rely on good. rich cream,
with Grape Nuts, for breakfast, letting
out the butter altogether. The cream
gives all the fat needed.
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an ideal
