1t is twenty five years since the
telephone was made known to the

the number Of instruments in op-
Grafton in this country was only
512, 407. January l, 1901, the total

included 1,952,412 telephones. The
latest figures, showing the magni-
tude of the business, at the close
of 1901, are given by the Elec-
trical Review. OF telephones con-

An engineer in charge of the
construction of the Tehuantepec
Railroad across Mexico asserts
that it will take majority of busi-
ness from the canal. This pro-
posed railroad from Coatzacoal on
the Gulf to Saline Cruzon the
Pacific is 100 miles long. They
claim it to be a 1000 mi. shorter
route for the Gulf states in reach
ing the west than by the proposed
canal route. They say, too, that
canal toll will double the rate of
transportation by rail. A ship
carrying railway is proposed one
over which cargo-laden ships may
be transferred from one ocean to
the other.
The engineer says: "The con-
tractlng urn or Whlch L am q
member, has been building rail.
roads and government works in
Mexico for the last fourteen years.
The road will be in operation in q
year, and we shall have all the
freight that we can carry. The
time of transit, including unload
ing at one end, reloading at the
other, will occupy twenty-four
hours and not more. We shall be
able to carry about 1000 tons a
week and will probably charge &
cent a mile. The time is not fal
off when they will tow boats dowr
the Mississippi from Chicago tc
New Orleans, and then across the
800 miles which separate Coatz
acoal from the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi."

NIGHT TURNS TO DAY.


Arc lights are to be established
on the Worlds Fair site, and work
will be pushed day and night by
shifts except in the coldest wealth.
er. This announcement was made
yesterday from the Office of Di-
rector of Works Isaac S. Taylor,
and is regarded as a solution to the
problem of beating time in the race
toward the completion of the expo
sition. President d. r. Francis, of
the exposition company, has had
conference with President Robert
Brookings, of Washington uni
versity, relative to the time requir-
ed to complete the work on the
administration building and those
equipments of the university plant
which are to be employed to fur
ther the work of building the
Fair, and it is understood that in
creased effort has been promised.
1t was announced yesterday that
the electric power plant which is a
part of the equipment of the uni
versity has practically been fin
ished, greater effort having been
directed to this part of the work,
as it was the first to be needed by
the exposition company. The
lights to be supplied here were
intended originally for only the
lighting of the administration
building, as the main structure of
the university is known, but the
immediate need of light on the
ground will, it is said, result in
the power being thus utilized for
the time being.
Chief Engineer Richard Phil
lips, who is in charge of matters
on the site, is working out the
lighting problem with his assist
ants and making final preparations
for the introduction of the arcs.
1t is stated that this arrangement
has been understood by the con-
tractors who have undertaken to
perform seemingly impossible
feats, and that they have reckoned
on almost twice the amount of
working time for their work that
would at first appear in the con-
tracts. Night will be turned, into
day and two, or perhaps, three.
shifts of men will be used in all
departments of'Nbe work.
The milder wsather yesterday
was cause for genaSal revival of
plans for the activity Npn the site.
The channel and RlveA des Peres
contractors resumed they work
with a will yesterday, and the
forces employed will be raA Aidly
increased. In addition to this,
new work will be commenced al
most Immediately. The Round-'
tree Construction company will
have the first of it's force at work
by the end of this week. consist
ing of twenty-five men, to drive
piling as a foundation for the
varied industries building. Next
week 800 men will be added to the
force, the latter to begin on the
work of making staff. The first
supplies of plaster Of paris needed
for this work will probably come
, from local firms, but arrangements
are being made to secure larger
supplies as needed. In addition
to this, the company has placed
Y orders for 300 car loads of lumber,
20 car loads of iron and steel, co.
600 sacks of plaster of paris and
o ], 900, 900 feet Of staff.

SOCIAL EQUALITY.
Rev. q. H. Mcdaniel Shows That
the Intelligent Negro Does
Not Want it.


This was once a potent weapon |
with which to whip into line those |
who advocated the emancipation
and civil rights of the "nigger."
They also said that the slave, if
freed, would suffer determination
by absorption, or if not so would
degenerate into African heathen-
ism. AS to the first prophecy, we
see today, that six-sevenths of the
race still has blood unmixed with
Caucasian, while $3.50 are half
white, and 105, ,135 are one-fourth
white, and 69,936 are one.eighth
white. l assert that this degener.
alton is almost wholly the result
of an imperious miscegeantion, and
argues more the superiority of the
auction block and the slave drivers
whip than superior endowments
and greater virtues on the part of
the white man, and especially the
chivalry of "Dixie," who burn men
at the stake, protecting the honor

All the red. headed, blue-veined,

Not content with degrading our
women, the white man (many of
them) has exercised his utmost in

publishing heinous charges against
the Negro man. Although all the
years of bondage never produced a

century, is made to appear SO
