SHARP CRITICISM OF PRES.
IDENT.
Bishop Kelly nennuncss Mr.
lSOOSevelt for Comparing .Def-
fsrsOn Davis to Benedict
Arnold.

Savannah, Ca, April 27.-
Singing in it's illusions to Pres
ident Roosevelt, Gen. Miles and
the people of New England. was
the address delivered last night
at the Confederate memorial ex-
ercises, by Bishop Kelly of the
Catholic diocese of Savannah.
He spoke on the causes of the
civil war, the men who fought
for the COnfederacy. After
paying a high tribute to Jeffer-
son Davis, he said:
1T is true that the gentleman
who now happens to sit in the
presidential chair at Washington
has written of President Davis:
Before Jefferson Davis took his
place among arch h-traitOrS. etc,
it was not unnatural that to dis
honesty he should add treachery
to the public. The moral differ
ence between Benedict Arnold,
on the one hand, and Aaron Burr
and Jefferson Davis on the other.
is the difference between Il pOliti-
clan who sells his vote for money
and one who supports Il bad
measure to get Il high political
position
when Mr.. Davis was living
and a prisoner fellow named
Miles placed shackleS on him in
prison, although there was no
necessity for it, and no one but
a brute would have done it.
But I have never heard that
Miles, after Mr.. Davis death,
brutally maligned his character.
That species of envenomed malice
was reserved for the recreant
son of Il Southern woman, the
Rough Rider of Republican
politics, the accident of 1902, the
lightning-change artist of the
White House, who can hObnOb
with the Kaiser's brother and
sit cheek by jowl with an Ala
bama negro: who can indulge in
meaningless platitudes, while
| South, on the bravery and com
mon heritage of Southern heroes,
and denOunce them before the
Grand Army of the Republic as
anarchists: who can profess a
broad American spirit. which
brands SectiOnaliSm as a crime,
and laud the loyalty of our veter-
ans of 1861 -65 to the COnStitu-
ton and reunited country while
the damning evidence of his own
written word shows that he
compared the nOblest Roman of
them all, Jefferson Davis, to a
Benedict Arnold.
Jefferson Davis was a states
man, a soldier and a man of high
character, d senator, a cabinet
! officer, a president-no put into
! office by bullet but by ballot.
Theodore Roosevelt'S title to
immortal fame will rest on shoot
| ing beasts and profiting by the
murderous act of a reprObate
, who shot a man.
Bishop Kelly served as a
private in the Confederate army,
and became a priest in 1874, and
bishop in 1900. Major John

South suffered for many years
from negro domination and theE,

North or South, will never be

The Washington Times says
that a certain Representative
from rural Wisconsin, desiring a
drink of water before going to
bed the other night, found that
the bell boy neglected to leave
the customary pitcher in his room.
A little search, however, re-
vealed two small button on the
wall, under one of which was in
scribed: Push twice for water" :"
He pushed as directed, and when
the bell boy arrived with the
water the congressman was
found holding a pitcher under
the button.

The Baptists of Arkansas are
after the spiritual and political
scalps of Jeff Davis, the chief eX-
ecutive of that State. 1t is
charged that the governor has
sinned most grievOusly and that
the discipline committee of the
First Baptist church of Little
Rock will give him a chance to
explain. Among the tranSgreS-
sions which the governor will be
called upon to disprove are
drunkenness, profanity and
gambling The governor says
that in due time he will show
that his accuserS are lot OF
lying hypocrites and traitors
and the real cause of the prose
cution is the part taken by him
in the recent campaign which re-
suited in the defeat of Senator
James K. Jones, the idol OF the
Arkansas Baptists. 1t is said that
Governor Davis is postmaster
in the subtle art of politics, but
whether or not he will be able tC
buck against his Baptist
brethren remains to be seen
Here in sinful Louisiana gov
ernor might indulge in little
drinking, swearing and ever
gambling without injury to his
political prestige, and no one
would question his right to
membership in the church, but
things are different in the hOlie1
commonwealth of ArkanSa
where he must religiOuSly alb
stain from too much gayety.

CRACK OF THE WHIP
1t is Rapidly Becoming a Sound Of
the Past

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
That grabbed old German. Schopenhauer,
whc said the crack of whip was like q
drink from the bad place, would have found
but little to complain of if he had post
poned his passing for a while" said a
thoughtful man, for the whip is getting to
be an awfully scarce article in this age. 7
suppose the whip will finally pass out of ex-
istence altogether unless it is put to a new
use. OF course. the small riding whip, the
kind which jockeys use In urging the horses
they ride. will be used as long as horse
flesh is used either in the realm of sport
or in the more serious affairs of life. But
the kind of whip the old German had in
mind was of a larger, longer and older
type. the kind the oX-driver uses even now
In some Of the more remote sections of the
world. Whips OF this kind generally swing
easily on the end of a long handle.
Frequently the handle is eight or ten
feet long and is made of hickory or some
wood that is supple enough to bend in the
green state. The whip itself, which is gen.
orally four and six-plat rawhide, is from
ten to fifteen feet in length. with a seagrass
cracker on the end tightly twisted and
knotted at spaces an inch apart 1t is, this
article that makes the noise of which the
old German pessmist, complained. and g.
whip of this kind in the hand of an expert
can be popped until it sounds like the crack
of doom. In quiet forest where timber
men carry their work this noise is even
fiercer than 1t is in the cities. Transfers in
cities still use the old whip to some extent,
but it is gradually going out and the sharp
crack of the seagrass is rarely heard.
Speaking of whips, | am reminded of the
marvellous accuracy some men acquire in
the of whips. l suppose the Esquimau
has reached a higher standard of prof.
cheney in this respect than any other class
of men. l have seen boys of this race pop
a silver half-dime at a distance of twenty
feet every time they swung whip. They
can simply hit anything they want to hit
long as it Is within reach of the whip.
But here in the south l have witnessed
some rather notable performances in this
respect. Up in Arkansas | have seen OK
cart drivers crack off a snakes head at q
distance of twenty feet, and they could do
it whenever it pleased them to do ii. But
these old whips are going out. and | sup
pose when electricity comes into more gen-
eral use the crack of the whip will be an I'M
known sound

Where Go the Bibles?
w Bedford STANDARD.

From the New Bedford Standard
Along with all this talk about the modern
lack of familiarity with the Bible and ali
the deploring of the alleged fact by schol-
ars and preachers and editors, and with
the constant evidences which are met that
the allegation has substantial basis. there
comes the assertion that more copies of the
Bible are sold annually than of any other
book that is printed. What becomes of all
of them? Frequenters of second hand
book stores know that few Bibles to be
found on their shelves, and what do appear
are chiefly of curious old copies most OF
which are held at a good price 1t is hard
ly profitable to buy Bibles for use for wrap
ping paper, and it is not probable that the
enemies of the book purchasing copies
for the sake Of suppressing them. Yet In
spite of all the Bibles that sold and
paid for, it is scarcely possible to find a
person, except the few professional students
of the book who know much about what
there is in it. The suspicion must be that
most of these buyers procure 1t because
they think it is sort of amulet for the
protection of the house.

Want Splitting Prohibited.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Copies of a resolution passed by the
Pennsylvania state board of health are be-
ing sent to the mayor, or chief burgess,
and to the secretary Of the bureau or board
of health of every municipality in the state
by DR.. Benjamin Lee. secretary of the
board. The resolution is to the effect that
regulations forbidding expectoration on
sidewalks, or floors of stations, cars, PAGES
of amusement or other public places should
be made. This is done In view of the fact
that the dust from the dried sputum of
those suffering from consumption or other
affections of the air passages is the eff
cient cause of producing such disease In
others. and that the opportunities for such
dissemination are greater in cities and
towns. 1t is suggested that violation of the
ordinance be punishable by fine of from
IS to $50.

ANTI-TYPHOID INCUBATION
A Marked Advantage Noted From the
Course of Treatment.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
In the Lancet Is published an article by
Professor A. E. Wright of the Army Medi-
cal school, Netley. setting forth in a synop-
teal table all the data collected up to the
present which bear on the results obtained
by anti-typhoid incubation, which was in
augurated, and has been carried out by
him during the last five years.
With regard to the results, it is demon
strated that all the statistics, If we except
two small series which are shown to the
vitiated by important fallacies, show that
a marked advantage was achieved by inoc-
ulation, both from the point of view of
the lessened incidence of typhoid fever
of view of the lessened case mortality
among the inoculated who subsequently
contracted the disease. This diminution of
mortality among those attacked is shown
by observations in many different hospitals
Covering along with many thousands of
cases of uninoculated, several hundreds of
cases of inoculated) to amount to a diminu-
ton by half in the mortality of typhoid
fever The lessened incidence of the dis
ease is shown to amount to a twofold re-
duction of the number of cases inoculated.
AS the result of the diminished mortality.
superadded to the diminution of incidence,
it is shown that the reduction of mortality
of typhoid has on the whole body of sta
tistcs amounted to a fourfold reduction.
These are important results, evidenced as
they are by twenty-four separate statistics
collected by observers all over the world
and critically sifted as they have been In
the manner just indicated But more i'm
portant than the actual results is the pros
pect that in future 1t will be possible to
improve upon these results as soon as the
problems connected with the dosage of the
vaccine shall have been worked out and as
soon as the only blot upon the NEGOTIATIONS
Il. e.. the apparently more susceptible con-
dition in which the patients are left i'm
mediately after inoculation-shall have
been removed by the elaboration of fully
adequate method of Standardization.

interest and most imperative work lie in
the. home The exhibits were neither ex-
haustive nor comprehensive; nor were they
| intended to be such, but rather to be sug-
gestive in their character
The department was divided into four
rooms, devoted to daily living home eco
nomics, home Industries, social service and
education. Under the head of home eco
nomlcs were shown two methods of arrang-
Ing room at the same price and the eff
fect OF each. with the varying amount Of
work necessary to the care of each The
subject of wall papers for light and dark
rooms was discussed in a series of similar
object lessons.
In the Paul Revere or main exhibition
hall the first thing to arrest the attention
was the exhibit Of Swedish loom work by a
young Swedish woman of Springfield Mass
who has turned out some exquisite things
AT the opposite end of the hall was an ex-
hibit by Mrs. Abbie s. Nckerson Of New
ouryport. who makes her own designs for
colonial rugs, then weaves the rugs on an
old-fashioned rule In view of the move
ment Tor the revival of village industries
TINS exhibit was Of special interest. A
russian peasantry exhibit from New York
russian workshop was also noteworthy
Then there were model servants quarters
showing how small amount of room can
be utilized economically and attractively
In addition to a model kitchen was the
laboratory kitchen exhibited by a college

business in Cambridge, with a large corps
of employees.
A similar enterprise was that of a number
of college girls who have established a
sunlight laundry with all handwork
The sun-bath bleaching to which they sub
ject their linen has aided them in establish
ing business that now employs sixty
persons and has all the work 1t can COM
fortably handle.
A large portion of the space was given
over to play ground and clldrens exhibits
including such as illustrate the work of
school gardens and vacation schools. The
way In which the relations of various arti
cles of common use and of the different
rooms Of the house can be taught to chill
dren was illustrated by four huge but very
light screens which divided a square into
kitchen, bed room. library and room for
general uses. This simple arrangement is
easily adaptable to a school room with lit
tie ones In it, as all the articles employ ed
can readily be made by children who have
been taught sloyd and manual training.
By far the most attractive feature, how
ever, was working day nursery, and
about this there a continuous crowd.
Here parties of children from the different
day nurseries of the city were to be seen
carrying on their little tasks under the care
of their teachers and nurses. Their bright
faces and absorption ELECTED EXPLANATIONS
of delight from the women who stand and
watch them by the hour. This was the
only living exhibit in, the woman's de-
partment 1t was intended that mothers
who attended the fair should leave their
tiny progeny here while they looked about
at their leisure.
Not the least important part Of the wo-
mans exhibit lay in the series of lectures
les, social science, cookery, school gardens
and day nurseries.

CLEVER ROYAL AUTHOR.
Ruler Of Sweden is Poet, Historian
an Essayist and Critic.

From the New York Herald
The announcement that King Oscar Of
Sweden is shortly to publish his memoirs,
following upon the recent French transla-
ton of the royal poets verse has drawn
attention to the fact that. with the possible
exception of Carmen Sylvia. the descendant
OF Bernadotte is the most versatile of con-
temporaneous royal authors. For King Os-
car is man of letters in every sense of the
woru-poet. historian, essayist and critic A
scientist OF eminence. his attachments in
this direction received public recognition
some time ago, when he was elected an
honorary member of the Imperial Society

Of the leading scientific societies of the
world and a Del. of oxford University.
