They are Industrious, Forehanded and Pious.
 Down in Delaware that particular class of people known as the "Moors'' have gol together and have made q viz orous protest against being classified on the registration lists as "N'' in contra distinction to "W," the "N" meaning that the name so denoted is that of a negro, the 'W'' that of white man.
 Now, although the "Moors" make no pretense of being of the same blood as their white brothers, yet they insist that they are not negroes, and object seri- ously to being proclaimed as such, even on the registration list.
 The protest took on business-like air last week when delegation of rep resentative "Moors," headed by Al. Morgan, of New Castle county, went to Dover and succeeded ic. getting Mr

All the negroes are not shiftless. Ru- fus Heron, an Alabama negro. whc was born a slave, and who can neither read nor write, recently contributed SIC toward the support of newly estab- lished school for white students in his State, and few days later contributed the same amount toward the support of Tuskegee Institute for colored students. This man owns several hundred acres of land and good live stock, all acqur- ed by his own industry and that of his wife. They give the credit for their thrift and prosperity to the inspiration which they have received at the Tuske- gee Negro Conference at which they have been regular attendants ever since Booker T. Washington established it ten years ago.

snow lsll,tIa.

On twinkling wings they eddy past
 At home amid the drifting, Or seek the hills and weedy fields
 Where fast the snow Is sitting. Their coats are dappled white and brown, Like fields in winter weather, But on the azure sky they float
 Like snowtakes knit together. I've heard them on tho spotless hills
 Where fox and hound were playing, And while stood with eager ear
 Bent on the distant baying. The unm0wn fields are their preserves, Where weeds and grass are seeding: They know the lure of distant stacks Where houseless herds are feeding. 0 cheery bird of winter cold,
 l bless thy every feather; Thy, voice brings back dear boyhood days When we were gay together.

A Silk Sale And How 1t Grew.

There's a lot to this weeks Silk Sale that we haven't told you of in our news at all. The sale has grown to a pro- digous size on its own strength.
 We simply began the sale with
 special purchase of 10, 900 yards
 of pretty Silks which we marked
 under price for a weekif itlasted. in order to create a little early Spring excitement in the Silk dept. We offered;
 ooct and 75ct Cola and Black Tafetas. at 43cts Yard;
 8oct Foulards. Cheney Bros. at 67cts a Yard;
 ooct Printed Foulards at 49cts a Yard;
 49ct Printed Indlas at 20cts a Yard; But the sale has broadcncd out un- til it has spread all over the dept. taxing the selling force to its utmost. We are selling hun dreds of yards too of our higher priced silks. It has been for all the world like throwing pebble in to quiet lake. If we had the space and you the time to read. we would write you a treatise on "The Evolution of Great Silk Sale," for that is what this modest little sale has developed into.
 New Silks in everyday. We can't go into detail, so quickly are the nov cities carried off.

After an experience of five years Minnesota has repealed the law giving a rebate on road taxes for each vehicle with wide tires The law failed entirely of its object--the maintenance of good roads. When tax settlements were due, farmers would demand rebates for wagons that were never used OH the roads and the road fund was mulcted of money that might otherwise have been used for construction.

Reckoning that the new star in Per seus is 6,000000 times as far from the earth as the sun--roughly speaking, 560 trillions of miles-an astronomer says that the sudden illumination that now has attracted attention must have oc- cured about 1903. It has taken the light ninety eight years to dart across the abyss of space to the earth. He adds that If the explosion caused by the rush of this gigantic world into the gases of some nebular body (which, the scientists believe, caused the sudden flare up) was loud enough to reach the earth, people will hear the sound of the crash something like 7S,O0000O years from now. That will be soon enough, thank you.

There are seven osteopaths in Rhode Island, and they think they might as we'll ask while they are asking. So they ask for more liberal law than similar headers have received in any State. They seek to have three of their number made State board, with power to give instruction, degrees and licenses to future applicants, and they wish to be beyond the control of the State Board of Health.

The Review of Reviews has this to say about good old Massachusetts: Massachusetts, in the eyes of her own reformers, has by no means attained perfection; yet for the rest of the coun- try Massachusetts sets most excellent example of a we'll ordered State, where the laws are respected and enforced, and where private citizens are not in hang or to burn objectionable people, while the women do not use the churches as arsenals or strongholds from which to go forth on raiding ex- petitions against saloons or disorderly houses.

POSTMASTER GENERAL SMITHS long de-
ferred executive order, intended to abol-
ish the abuses of the second-class mail
matter system, has been issued, and it
makes sweeping changes in the entire
system. Summed up, the order of the
postmaster general bars from the mails
at the pound rate paper backed novels
and similar publications; secondly, it de-
prives of the pound rates newspapers
and periodicals which have no bona fide
subscription lists, but which are merely
thrown in to the purchaser as some more
or less attractive premium. Finally, the
order prescribes that unsold copies of
newspapers cannot be returned at the
pound rate, either to the publishers or
to central news agencies, The order is
believed to be sufficiently sweeping to
effect saving of many millions of dol
lars in the expenditures of the postoffice
department, while at the same time it is
claimed that it will not do any injustice
to legitimate newspapers and periodicals,
for whose benefit alone the law was
passed originally.

CURIOUS how often it happens that
men who dabble in politics go bankrupt
sooner or later. Theodore Kersten, the
Chiffon banker, is the latest example.
He ran for state treasurer few years
ago and has always cut considerable
figure in the politics of his county. Few
Democratic state conventions have failed
to find him in the list IF delegates; and
it was only the perversity (or good for
tune of fate that he did not serve as
treasurer during the four years John
Hummer had the place and the $4,000
salary connected with it. Kersten had
run once and been beaten, but the con.
vention of 1890 was bent upon naming
him again. He excitedly declined to
"make the sacrifice" as he put it from
the convention floor, and, German be-
ing needed, the unknown Hummer was
chosen. The Democratic landslide fol-
lowed, Hummer was elected, and Kersten
went back to his bank. Yet there was
some compensation. When the roster
scandal besmirched nearly the entire
state government, Kersten, happily for
himself was wholly beyond the bounds
of contamination.-M Madison Democrat.

AS A direct result of the recent hot
wave which swept the country. new
aiIment has been added to the category
of ills which affiict humanity, and many
are already suffering from it. Physicians
term the new disease "chronic heat
stroke" Those who worried through the
warm weather without succumbing are
now the greatest sufferers. Instead of
prostrating them, as it did hundreds OF
people, the heat caused a depression
from which sprung pains in the head
and chest, feeling of lassitude in the
limbs, sleepiness and general debility.
The strain of these ailments has inca
paciated many. Some of the physicians
are overrun with patients suffering from
this peculiar affection. It is believed
that the disease attacks both stalwarts
and half breeds.

FRIDAY, JULY &c. 1901

MINISTERS and others competent to
perform the marriage ceremony should
not overlook the fact that law was
passed by the legislature last winter pro
viding that persons who are divorced
cannot be remarked within one year
from the decree of separation, unless
special permission is given by the Judge
granting the divorce. 1t is said that the
law has been violated in some instances
probably through ignorance of its exis-
tence, and the parties performing such
marriages are laying themselves liable
The question whether this law applies
to persons divorced in other states COM
ing to Wisconsin to be married was
raised in Milwaukee case recently, and
Judge Halsey held that it applies only
to persons divorced in this state. Ii this
is proper construction of the law, here
is an added reason why marriage and di-
vorce laws in the several states should
be made uniform.
