Selfshness has set husband

world to the. servitude of crime.
The record Of mans selfishness is

the world are scattered monuments

An American firm has just CON-
pleted a bridge in India, which is
the largest structure of it's kind in
the world. Every portion of this
great viaduct was manufactured in
this country, and American me-
chanics went out to India and SUI
perintended the construction of it.
It stands complete today in the
jungles of far off India, a monu-
ment to American labor as endur-
ing as the hills it rests upon. An
English company was forced to
give the contract to Americans, for
English ironmasters admitted that
the task was too great for them.
The best ships of war that Rus
STA has were built in this coun-
try, and that country recently &C
copied from an American firm
battleship that was conceded by
experts to be the finest ship of it's
class in the world. Much of the
material used in the construction
of the track of the TRANSIT
berian railroad was made in Ameri-
can workshops and nearly all the
locomotives employed in the move
ment Of trains on the same rail-
road are the product of American
mechanics. The mechanism of
the great ice crushing steamer on
Lake Baikal is all American made.
Santos Dumont, the successful
navigator of the air, is not native
of the United States, but he is an
American, and no European has
the nerve or brains to successfully
compete with him in his peculiar
vocation. Americans will have to
develop, his ideas. We have not
perfected flying machine in this
country, but Holland has con-
uuered the realms of the deep with
his wonderful genius and added
new prestige to our naval strength.

France also pays tribute to
American manufacturers. Indeed,
there is no place in the civilized
world that does not recognize the

and was always dressed up, to
Anna who had married merchant
in the nearby towl, and to Willie,
the only one who had not left the

and last chick, was nearly twenty

but Uncle Jack had just taken on
himself the role of Judge and jury
and stood ready to act as execu-

Anna and her husband, and another
John and Adelaide, who had
counted the days until they could

and his friend from the city, who
must be ''some punkins" Uncle
Jack said, to board and live at the

Willie; we'll, Willie, after much
debate with himself, had come to
look at this dinner as a momentous
occasion. This was to be semi

Aunt Adelaide gave a sigh of
resignation. Their flock Of tur-
keys was small, and she did want
to save that gobbler, but he was
the latest and biggest, and in fact,
for an occasion like this nothing
else would do. She felt it was
like losing one Of the family. He
was big bronze fellow, and was
so tame that he had been known to
walk in the kitchen door, much
to the surprise of 'Shep," who on
attempting to show him his place
met with serious opposition. CPL

She hastily secured the much
astonished gobbler and transferred
him to a begrimed, unused lum-
Der room in the attic. Then she
scurried to their nearest neighbor,
a quarter of mile away, and
bought turkey gobbler, and had
the neighbours hired man dress it

WASHINGTON, June S.-The greater
part of the time of the Senate, the present
week, will be given to the interoceanic
canal bill. An effort probably will be made
by the supporters Of the Nicaraguan route
TO secure an agreement to vote on the bill
next Saturday, but the proba bfities are all
against success. Senator Harris of Kan
sas, will open the debate tomorrow in sup
port of the Nicaraguan route, and he will
be followed by various other senators for
and against the measure. Senator Fair
banks has given formal notice of a speech
on Wednesday. He will support the Spoon
er bill.
Tomorrow, in the morning hour, Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, will speak on
the bill creating national park in the
Southern Appalachian mountains and, in
accordance with the agreement reached
yesterday, the morning hour of other days
Will be devoted to the consideration of Sen
ator Nelson's bill for the abolition of the
London dock charges until a vote shall be
taken on ii. Saturday, after o'clock, the
Senate will listen to eulogies on the charac-
ter of the late Representative Stokes, of
South Carolina. On Friday the nominal
the Ordnance Bureau will be considered in
executive session
1t is probable that Senator Hale will call
up the naval appropriation bill during the
week. but he has given no notice of such
intention.

LONDON, June S.-Whitelaw Reid, the
special envoy OF the United States to the
coronation of King Edward who arrived
at Queenstown yesterday on the Cunard
line steamer Umbria, is now comfortably
settled in the capacious Brook House here.
Mr.. Reid's first day in England was
busy one. 1t nearly o'clock this

Reid will formally begin his work.
Mr. Reid made an early call upon Joseph
II. Choate, the United States ambassador

the members of the United States embassy
also went to Brook House during the day.
as did the secretaries of the special en-
bassy number of personal friends also

ing at Freeland, this afternoon, the en-
ployes of the Delaware. Susquehanna &

will refuse to handle any trains carrying
deputies, coal and iron police or nonunion-

trains, and crews were recruited with some
difficulty.
The Lehigh valley trainmen held a secret
meeting here this afternoon and declded
that they will not handle any coal mined

Cable and Irrigation Measures.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The House pro-
gramme for this week contemplates consid-
Grafton of the Pacific cable and the Senate
irrigation bills, which the rules committee
is anxious TO have disposed of before the
time set for taking up the Philippine gov
ernment bill. Special rules have been pre-
pared for consideration of both measures
The cable bill will be given two and the
irrigation bill three days. The cable bill
provides for an American-built and an
American-laid cable TO connect our insular
possessions in the Pacific with the Pacific
coast. 1t carries a direct appropriation out
of the treasury for this purpose. The pros
poets for its passage are not considered
bright. Mr.. Corliss. the author of the BILL
processes confidence that ii will pass. The
opposition to the measure believe the
cable TO the Philippines should be laid by
private enterprise.
Some of the House leaders, including Mr.
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee, 1t is understood, will oppose the
irrigation bill, but the friends of the meas
ure very hopeful of it's passage. To-
morrow is District of Columbia day. All
the appropriation bills except the general
deficiency, which will not be ready until next
week, have passed the House.

DECATUR, Ind, June S.-A mob OF fifty
men was organized in order 10 drive al
negroes out of the city early this morning
The negroes had been warned. and some
left for the outskirts of the city TO escape
mob violence. While the anti-negro moi
was being organized another detachment
of citizens was brought together to pro.
tect the negroes. A street fight ensued
in which many blows were exchanged. but
no serious injuries were inflicted.
Soon after midnight a mob went to the
Burt House and pulled one OF the EN-.
ployes, a negro. from bed, and handing
him his clothes in bundle, told him Ia
go out of town. He ran down the street
and disappeared in the darkness. Another
negro was chased up the back stairway
of a saloon, where he secured a hiding
place until he was found by the second
citizens posse and given aid and shelter.
For years the city has been without ne
gro inhabitants, until a few months ago
when several were imported for hotel anc
domestic work. The hotel proprietors have
received many letters threatening them
with violence if the negroes were not dis
charged. but have paid no attention ts
them. Out of six negroes who were work

Big Meeting at Pretoria.

PRETORIA, June S.-The services of
Thanksgiving for the return of peace to-day
was held in the principal square of Pre-
toria. The sun shone brilliantly and the
sight was most impressive. Outside of the
roped inclosure of troops were gathered
many thousands of the townspeople and a
goodly sprinkling of Beers whose demeanor
was most respectable. The Archbishop of
Cape Town officiated at the services, and
Lord Kitchener. General Baden-Powell and
Lady Methuen, wife of General Methuen,
and other prominent persons were present
The massed bands of various regiments
supplied the music and the troops and peo-
pie Joined in singing the hymns with won
derful effect. The singing of God Save the
King" and Rudyard Kipling's "Reces-
sional' closed the service.
Lord Kitchener then mounted a dais and
called for three cheers for King Edward
The response of everybody assembled in
the square was immediate and unre-
strained. The open letter of the Boer lead
to the burghers in which peace is an
nounced and in which the burghers are
counseled TO loyal acquiescenoe, is an elo-
quent and pathetic document. In il the
leaders thank the burghers for their noble
sacrifice, express their sympathy for the
bereaved, and ask for united effort for the
peaceful upbuilding of South Africa and its
people.
