Test of Truth.

"Of the lectures delivered at the
Catholic summer school at Mount Saint
Mary's, Md. last week, the one that
struck me most forcibly was delivered by
the Rev. M O'Donoghue." said a Gull
tuI ed lcyman.
''The theme of Father O'Donoghue's
discourse was The Value of Human Tes-
timony as a Test of Truth He said If
all men under all accidents of time, place,
race and educat ton concur in a belief
Euch as the existence of a personal God
It cannot be chance. but truth. He also
said that berides these general beliefs
there are many truths which are taken
without proofs, but because the field Of
knowledge has become TOO broad for
each man to investigate each subject for
himself and because large part of man.

enter into these, but accepts them on au-
thority, Then The question as to who is
an authority was explained to mean that

oughly in a given subject and has held
rigidly to the we'll known and positive

have his conclusions taken as truth"

Eeelna Servants.

1.-THE tipping custom has become just

Speaking of servants and tipping, here
is an interesting extract from a letter

Kelley Of Savannah, who was at Lourdes
when he wrote:

tween the English and French servants

Cotton Growing in Cuba.

A lot Of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio capitalists have bought, 1t
is reported, $4,000 acres of land in
Santiago province, Cuba, and they
propose to drive American cotton out
of Cuba, and eventually out of the rest
of the world. These capitalists from
Ohio and other states have selected
the hottest part of Cuba as the field
for their cotton raising exploits, evi
IDENTIFY expecting that the more heat
the more cotton can be grown.
We assure the Ohio cotton growers
that there is such thing as overdo
ing the heat feature in the growing of
cotton. The cotton plant does love
the sun, but it does not love a surfeit
of sunshine. 1t always knows when it
has had enough, and even in Florida
1t gets too much of a good thing, and
in Santiago de Cuba 1t would probably
decline to fruit at all.
The growing of cotton on paper is
an old-time industry. England, France,
Russia and Brazil. each and all, have
tried to grow the worlds cotton, but
ten or eleven American states hold
the monopoly they have long held
and that the Ohio capitalists in San
tiago will not be able to seize, even i
they do grow, as they say in theil
prospectus they will, cotton of fine
grade at a cheaper price. Cottol

ONE KILLED; OTHERS INJURED
Special Excursion Train Crashes Into
Freight at Hammond, Ind.

Chicago. August IT, One man was
killed outright and another was probably
fatally injured In a railroad wreck at
Hammond. Ind, early today. A Chicago
and Erie freight train standing on the
tracks of the Chicago and Western In
diana railroad was crashed into by a spe-
cial train of the Chicago, Indianapolis
and Louisville railroad bearing 600 excur-
sionists from Cincinnati. The excursion
train was running at a speed of forty
miles an hour when 1t smashed into the
caboose of the freight train.
George W. Farris, 81 years of age. of
Cave City KY, and employed by the
La Trobe Steel company at Melrose ILL.,.
was instantly killed. His brother, D. e.
Farris, aged Is years, a telegraph ope-
rato1 employed by the Grand Trunk road
at Millett, Mich, was probably fatally
injured
The body of George Farris is still
buried under several cars of wreckage.
Several of the excursionists who were
painfully cut and bruised had their
wounds dressed at the Hammond hospi-
tar but the hospital attendants did not
take their names. The locomotive and
baggage car of the excursion train were
badly wrecked. but the passenger coaches
were not much damaged, and as soon as
the tracks could be cleared the excursion
train proceeded toward Cincinnati with
all Its PASSENGERS

MOVING THE OLD HYeElA HOTEL

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Hygeia hotel at Old Point Comfort,
enc of the largest In the United States,
is to bo moved eight miles across Hamp-
ton Roads. The moving of frames ana
brick buildings several squares is an
easy thing for tine modern engineer, but
rarely is building moved across such
an immense stretch Of water. The Hy-
geia is frame building 400 feet long and
the engineers have 4. difficult task before

It will be hard enough to move the big
hotel from it's present foundation to

Willoughby Spit, eight miles away is
the really hazardous part of the under

Tides and winds have to be taken into
consideration, and the planning Of the
great feat will take some time before
the actual moving begins. The Hygeia

Promnt Action in virninia.

The negro who was taken from
Leesburg Jail in London county, Vir-
ginia, and lynched by a mob almost in
sight of the national capital, had not
been guilty of an attack upon any wo-
man. He had killed a farmer Pub
lie sentiment against the act of the
mob was quickly aroused, and within
a weeks time a grand jury met and
indicted the leaders of the mob and
they are now lodged In the jail from
which they took their victim. Gov
ernor Montague and the London coun-
ty authorities are much praised for
their prompt and vigorous action In
this case. They offered no reward,
but they simply went to work to as
certain the names of the leaders of
the mob and they had them indicted.
The lynching occurred in one week,
and the indictments were found in the
following week.
1t is action of this sort that is des-
tined to put an end to lynchings in
the South-to restore the supremacy
of the courts, and to stop the demon
alizing and brutalizing tendencies Of
mob action. Few lynchings have &C.
Cured of late in Virginia, and the ac-
ton of the state and county authori-
ties in historic London will have a
wholesome and excellent effect.

LIVING IN THE TRANSVAAL.
From the Boston Herald


Some of the young Englishmen who
jumped at the chance of obtaining a po-
sltion in the civil service of the new
Transvaal colony are now finding 1t ex-
tremely difficult to make both ends
meet. According to all accounts, the
salaries paid are miserably inadequate in
comparison with the great cost of living
in these colonies. According to a dis
patch from Pretoria, a civil officer who
intends to keep house must expect to
pay as high as $500 year for the rent
of a house equal to that which a man of
moderate means would occupy in Eng
land. servants wages would run all
the way from $35 to $50 a month, accord
ing to ability, while even the Kaffir boys
to work around the house and the stable
have ridiculous idea of their wage value
since peace was declared. Railway travel
must be figured as costing close to six
cents mile, newspapers cost six cents,
while meat from the cold storage depots
Is so dear that 1t is practically a luxury
a salary of from $1,000 to $500 a year and
has a family to support will find the
greatest difficulty in making ends meet
In fact, one British officer already at
Pretoria said in an interview that most
Englishmen working for the government
would find the Transvaal impossible I'M
less they posse ssed private means"

Two Issues That Are Misfiis.

The Johnston Waller combine are
going up and down the state looking
for voters, in accordance with custom
and undoubted rights, and the Age
Herald wishes the combine no undue
harm, but it does object to it's attacks
upon the poll-tax provision of the new
constitution. and to this expressed de-
sire to smash machines and rings. For
consisteney's sake these two planks
of the combine should be dropped.
When the poll tax stood at dollar
and a half, as it does now, and as 1t
has stood during a generation, Gov
ernor Johnston advocated an increase
of the rate to something "substan-
tial" How high he would have raised
the rate he did not say, but he plainly
asked for an increase above one dollar
and a half, and he desired the In
creased tax to be levied on all regard
less Of age. Then he asked in his
message of 1S96-an official paper
that can be readily consulted by all
who desire to know the facts. The
present dollar and half tax payable
by voters under as years of age, is
mild proposition alongside the de-
mand made by Governor Johnston in
1896 in a message addressed to the
legislature
Then again, the most successful ma
chine builder that Alabama has ever
known should not mention machines
in his new Indictment 1t is presum-
ing too much. It assumes that the
people of Alabama are grossly ignor-
ant of what went on from 1896 to
1900. It takes for granted that the
people of the state have forgotten the
machine of those days, parts of which
are creaking and groaning in the pres
ent canvass. There are men who
could consistently inveigh against ma
chimes, but Governor Johnston is not
one of them. Hence we say that the
Johnston-Waller combine should let
these two issues alone-the machine
and the poll tax-because 1t is not In
position to attack either. The voters
of Alabama know a thing or two, and
they have not forgotten the Johnston
machine, or the poll tax recommends
ton of 1896.

Text Book Prices Again.

Kansas pays $3.50 for a pretty full
set of elementary school books, as
follows: first reader, second reader,
third reader, fourth reader. fifth read
or, complete arithmetic, elementary
geography, advanced geography, I'm
tied States history, spelling book, ply
siology, physical geography, algebra,
physics, elementary grammar and adj
vanced grammar. A similar lot of
books costs Tennessee parents $7.44.
In this state either lot would cost
fully $500. A conservative estimate
Of the tax imposed upon this state by
the book trust is one million dollars a
year, every cent of which is additional
profit, because books are not sold in
Tennessee or Kansas at a loss. The
book business is not conducted in
either of these states for the benefit
of the health of the trust managers
or owners. 1t is conducted for net
profits, and the extra million drawn
from the 100000 children of the state
is a bonus beyond ordinary and reas-
enable profits.
Why should the book trust be per
mitted to wrest so much money from
the parents Of the school children of
this state? The answer is plain-we
have no state text book law, and the
book trust is able to bride county
rommittees and to place it's books at

TAKE THE WORLD AS 1T IS.

Take the world as 1t is. There are good

And good and bad will be from now to

a minute,
Are in danger of marring more hearts
than they'll mend
If we wish to be happy ne'er seek Tor the
faults,
Or you're sure to find something or 9TH
er amiss;
Mid much that debases, and much that
exalts,
The worlds not bad one IL left as
Ii is.
Take the world as 1t is!-if the surface be
shining,
Meier rake up the sediment hidden be-
loH.
There's wisdom in this, but there's none
in repining
Ger things which can rarely be mended,
We know.
There's beauty around us, which let us
enjoy;
And c.hide not, unless it may be with
a kiss;
Though earth's not the heaven we
thought when boy
There's something to live for, II taen
as 1t is
Take the world as it isi-with its smiles
and it's sorrows,
Its love and its friendships-its false
hood and truth,
Its schemes that depend on the breath or
