YERKES ON THE STAND.
American Millionaire Bothers the
British LAWYERS.

6r4GlS4 Lawyers
London, May 3-There have been
some interesting developments in the
battle between the American million
aires for the control Of London's rapid
transit systems. One feature that stands
out more than any other is Charles T.
Yerkes ability to beat English lawyers
at their own game Counsel for the
Morgan's projected tube line, had Mr.
Yerkes on the stand before the house of
lords committee for an hour or so one
day this week Mr.. Yerkes sat passive,
ingeniously answering or lodging QueS-
tons relating to the financial plans Of
his own syndicate. Finally he calmly
remarked to counsel. I have been lis
tening to your explanations of this
matter" at which counsel hurried TO
correct the witness by declaring he had
only been asking questions. But, Mr..
Yerkes. imperturable and hugely anus
ing the committee, continued: And it
seems TO me that you have certain in
formation which myself do not at this
moment possess.
With a smile Mr.. Yerkes admitted
that he was largely interested in the
financial and operating departments Of
the new road and without a trace of ap-
parent malice, he added: IT do not care
to teach kindergarten schools here
The Morgans had questioned the cor
rectneSs of the figures upon which Mr..
Yerkes based the returns Of his system,
but Mr.. Yerkes blandly waved aside
such details, saying that he had not his
notes. He would, however, be delighted
to solve the sums in arithmetic submit
ted to him by opposing counsel if they
ring to such abtruse matters from his
Office. Finally the Chicagoan was dis
missed somewhat disgustedly with the
remark: AS you don't want to be sent
back to school I will not ask you any
more questions" and Mr.. Yerkes went
out smiling grimlV.

ORGANIZE TO FIGHT.
State Society of Negroes to Test
Separate School Question.

The Douglass school controversy at
Lowman Hin has started a movement
among the colored people Of Topeka and
neighboring towns to form state or
ganization of colored people for the pur-
pose Of testing the right of boards of ed
ucation to separate white and colored
scholars in the public schools.
The colored people of Lowman HILL
who We're responsible for the mandamus
suit in the supreme court to compel the
board Of education in Topeka to allow
colored children TO attend the Lowman
Hin school instead of attending a
school exclusively for colored children.
started the movement The plans are to
perfect an organization over the entire
state for the purpose Of aiding the Low
man Hill colored people by raising
funds.
The Lowman Hin suit viii test the
state law giving boards of education in
cities Of the first class the right to sep
arate white and cOlOred children in the
graded school but not giving the boards
the right to make such division in the
high school. When David J. Brewer was
chief justice of the Kansas supreme
court in 1873 case was decided in which
the color line question was involved. The
case was appealed to the supreme court
from Ottawa. In making the decision
the court decided that there was moth
ing in the constitution of the state to
prevent DIdtQUl Oh EuucdLiCtl separating
colored and white children provided
there was a law on the statute books
giving them that power
At that time there was no law giving
boards the power but the legislature of
1879 passed a law giving boards of edu-
cation in cities Of the first class the right
to separate the white and colored
scholars in all grades and schools up to
the high school. There is no law Civ
ing the same right to any cities except
of the first class. In Topeka the law has
been partially followed. In some schools
white and colored children attend to-
gether but where the board has chosen
they have been separated.
Five thousand copies ofthe writ issued
by the supreme court in the Lowman
Hill case are being printed with half
tone pictures Of the two schools. The
copies Of the writ viii be distributed
over the state in working up the agita-
ton for the state organization of colored
peODIe.

Women of Damascus.

The women of Damascus-that is,
the Moslem wOmen-are more closely
veiled than those of Constantinople
and other eastern cities because the
people here are more tenacious in the
observance of the ancient customs of
their race and the requirements Of
their religion. The wells are thicker,
also, and cover the entire face. Some
Of them are figured so that the con-
cealment is even more complete.
Greeks, Jews and Armenians do not
wear wells, and some Of them are very
handsome, particularly the Jewish
women. Their eyes, complexion, and
hair are superb. The types Of Orien-
tai loveliness remind you Of Solomon's
Song.
No women are employed about the
hotels or restaurants. All the "tdo-
nestle" work is done by men. In the
shops and manufactures Of Damascus
thousands Of women and girls are en-
ployed, but they are exclusively Greeks
and Jews. No Moslem would permit
his wife, daughter or sister 10 appear
in shop or any other place where
men are employed.

matchless wit and humor, the bright
optimism, which, however dark the
clouds may be, can always see the sill
yer lining, all these are beautifully
blended in the azure orbs of Erin's
children-ideal eyes Of blue!
The most dauntless eye that ever
met the foes on the battlefield, the ter.
rible eyes of hate, the sweetest eyes Of
love, the softest eyes that ever glad
dened the heart of lover brave, the
gentlest that ever bent over the cradle
of little child-bright, speaking eyes
of Erin. the fairest in all the world!
The laughing eyes of Frances
daughters are charming, indeed. Lu-
minous are the midnight orbs of the
sunny Italy maidens. Mild and blue
are those of the light browed children
Of the Rhine; soft and sweet the eye
of the golden-haired English lassie,
and the hazel brown Of fair Columbia's
child; but for beauty and depth Of
meaning give to me the true, honest
blue eye of the Shamrock land, "Sweet
