Gift of Southern White Man.

A prominent and wealthy southern
white man, native of South Caro-
lima engaged in business at Birming-
ham Ala, has made a contribution of
$500 to the Tnskegee normal and in

received by this institution from a
southern white man. In his letter to
Principal Booker T. Washington the

the son of one of the largest slave
owners of the South, l am anxious for
the people to do all that can be reason
ably expected of them for the educa-
ton of the negroes, thereby making

LAST LEADER SURRENDERS
War in North Philippines Ended and Ma.
tives Return to Their Homes,

MANILA. April IL General
Malver, the last of the important
Filipino leaders and head of the
insurrection in the department
of the North Philippines, has
surrendered Internationally to
General J. Franklin Bell. This
news was contained IN the fol-
lowing telegram received yester-
day from Gen. Lloyd Wheaton:
"Malvar has surrendered un-
conditionally to Bell at Lipa.
Organized armed resistance to
the authority of the United States
has thus been terminated in that
department."
General Wheaton in his report
to the division headquarters lays
emphasis on the Importance of
Malvar's surrender. as 1t pacifes
that section Of Luzon, Batangas
province, and renders possible
the opening of ports which have
hitherto been closed to trade in
pursuance of the repressive pol
ICY followed by General Bell, by
which arms and food supplies
were prevented from reaching
the insurgents and thus render
ing possible a prolongation of the
war in northern Luzon. Malvar,
in addition to surrendering his
immediate command, has ordered
the instant surrender of every
insurgent to the nearest Ameri-
can force,
The submission of Malvar also
means the release of Filipinos
who have been held IN detention
camps, and they will be allowed
to return to their homes in time
to plant crops for the coming
harvest.

Indiana Oak the Best.

Most people of Indiana will be sur
priSed to learn that Indiana oak is
considered the best in the market,
says the Elkhart Review. Wood
buyers from London and Liverpool,
and from other markets on the cOntin-

more for Indiana oak than for other
kinds produced in the United States.

BEATEN IN SENATE
No Drastic Chinese Exclusion Legislation
by Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
drastic Chinese exclusion bill
originally framed by the senators
and representatives from the
Pacific States met defeat in the
senate yesterday and in it's place
W; S substituted a measure offered
by Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, ex-
tending the provisions of the
present exclusion law and also
applying that exclusion to all in
sular territory under the jurisdic.
ton of the United States. The
vote by which the substitute took
the place of the original bill was:
Yeas, AS; nays, 33. Once the
substitution had been made all
senators Joined in It's support,
with the single exception of Mr..
Hoar, the substitute being passed
76 to 1. The friends of the sub
stitute showed their strength
throughout the voting on amend
ments that preceded final action
and succeeded in preventing any
material change in its features.
Some minor conditions were made
admitting Chinese persons con-
nected with national expositions
and providing for certificates of
Identification of Chinese in our
insular possessions. Otherwise,
however, the substitute was
adopted substantially IN the form
that Mr.. Platt presented it.

800 CHRISTIANS KILLED
Fierce Fight Ttakes Place with Armenians
and Wanton Massacre Follows.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April H.
Wanton massacre of Christians,
accompanied by horrible atroci-
ties, have been renewed by the
Kurds. At Diabeker 800 Chris
tlans were shot and cut to pieces,
no mercy being shown to man,
woman or child. The Sultan has
taken no steps to punish the Of
tenders. as the victims were all
Armenians.
1t seems a band of Armenians
appeared recently near Dlabekir
in Kurdistan, and the authorities
sent Ibrahim Pasha at the head
of a Kurdish irregular force in
pursuit. On the way all Armen-
Ian villages were attacked, many
of the inhabitants killed, and
houses fired.
The Kurds finally overlook the
band of Armenians and desper-
ate battle followed, The desper-
ate charges of the Kurds failed
to dismay the Armenians and
they were forced to retreat. The
Kurds were driven toward Dia-
bekir, where reinforcements were
sought. The Armenians again
opened fire and the fight lasted
several hours.
Then the Kurds, in a frenzy,
turned into Diabekir and slaugh-
tered every christian that could
be found. During the fighting
many Kurds and Turks were
killed.
1t is believed that this massa-
will be followed by others with
the tacit approval of the Sultan.

Take Care of Your Eyes.

A few weeks ago there died in New
York city very rich man who for
some years had been totally blind. He
knew what the blessing of sight was.
but it was not his to enjoy. He offer
ed million dollars to anyone who
could restore his sight, but none could
do SO. We little appreciate the nat
trail blessings we enjoy, many of which
like that of sight, are more to be
desired than the Injuries which can
be bought with money. Yet we are
very careless IN preserving these nat
ural blessings. Many peopleilose their
sight from careless use of the eyes,
despite the warnings which nature
constantly gives.
1t would seem that no subject should
be of more interest to human being
than that relating to the preservation
of sight. DR.. Frank Airport, pro-
fessor of diseases of the eve and ear in
Northwestern University Woman S
Medical college, has given some valua-
BILE suggestions on this subject, which
we commend to the attention of our
readers. In the use of artificial light
that which most nearly stimulates
daylight, should be secured. He adj
viSes light, whether oil or gas, with
a green and white shade. No over
head light or chandelier affords issuffi-
cient illumination. The light should
be brought down to the individual. 1t
should be brilliant, steady and proper
ly regulated and should stand to the
left and a little forward. Reading in
carriages, cars, etc., is obviously in
furious, as the jolting of the vehicle
neceSSitateS a constant changing of
focus and unsteadinesSilofl the page
which necessarily taxes the eye to an
extreme degree. Reading in a re-
cumbent position is a prolific source of
eye-strain and is therefore injurious.

An lnexpIicabIe Hesitation.

There are thousands of republicans
who cannot understand why the re-
publicans of the house, after deciding
in caucus to inquire into the alleged
violation of the constitution involved
in the Acknowledgement of hundreds
of thousands of voters on account of
race, hesitate to proceed. No question
of race, no law relative to the control
of elections or compelling the accept
ance of the votes is involved. ANY
state, which has disfranchised blacks
because of race is not to be interfered
with in the disfranchiSement. The
white leaders of the states in which
disfranchisement has occurred can
proceed just the same to govern their
states. Republicans leave it for dem
ocratS in The south to say whether or
not the black vote is peril. If, as
they have said, the black is disfran-

cannot complain if the being who is
unfit to vote or to exercise any func-
tion of citizenship is no longer counted
as being when the census is taken
for the purpose of apportioning rep
resentatives in congress and presiden-
tial electors among the several states.
Unfit to have a voice in electing con-
gresSmen, he should not be counted to
make the number of congressman.
Such is the constitution, ratified by
these same states: If voters have been
disfranchised because of color, the con-
stitution declares that they shell not
be counted fore representation. Shall
this provision of the constitution be
nullified by the neglect of a congress
sworn to obey it?
1t is said that republicans are re-
luctant because it will arouse sectional
sentiment. Is that valid excuse for
anr1ulling portion of the constltu-
tion?-Indianapolls Journal.

Proposed Postal Currency.

For long time past the need has
been felt of safer and more cnnveni-
ent plan of making small money re-
mittances through the mails than now
exists. 1t is not altogether safe to
send small bills, and the registry let
ter system involves some expense as
well as inconvenience. To obviate
the difficulty it is proposed that the
government issue new form of
currency to be known as post check
money. According to the plan pro-
posed it would be issued in denomina-
tions of So and less, taking the place
of the one, two and fve-dollar notes,
and in fractional denominations OF
ten, twenty-five and fifty cents. The
notes would differ from any heretofore
issued in that each one would have a
blank space for special Endorsement,
making it payable to particular per-
SOI. dllu COulu lQuS De IIdllSu1ltleu Nv
mail as safely as a draft or check. 1t
would in effect be personal check on
the United States government, as safe
for transmission as any bank check.
1t is claimed by the originators of the
plan that it would greatly facilitate
the transmission of small sums and
save the time and expense involved in
procuring money orders, postal notes
or registered letters. The merits of
the plan will be examined by COM
mission of postoffice and treasury Of
ficials.-Indianapolis Journal

Mink Catches Trout.

Sam Wood, hunter of the North
Carolina mountains, has tame mink
which he caught when it was a baby
He uses it as ferret, and finds it az
excellent rabbit catcher.
One day he tried it on trout. He lie,
it 60 hungry all morning, and then took
it to a trout stream, tying string tc
its leg, and allowing it to wander about
a well-known trout pool. The mink
walked out on log, stood still for a
while, and suddenly made a grab into
the water with its paw. 1t brought Ut
a small trout. Wood took the fish
away, and the performance was repeat
ed.
Now the mink is famous throughout
the mountains as trout catcher. II
has never caught any big fish, but Wood
who knows the fishing propensities OF
all mink, declares that when he has had
the animal in training for few months
it will take the choicest trout the noun
tain streams afford.-New York Times.

his argument that man is deteriorat-

members of the smart set they had to
practice economy where it did not show.
But tonight there was certainly no hint
of economy anywhere. There were
Strawberries, dollhouse grown, and ter
rapin and canvas-back duck, though all
were exorbitant in the market. The
handsome tablecloth had been ruthlessly
cut. and through the opening a cluster
of Beauty roses, their stems on the floor,

bowling along smoothly, and she leaned
forward to listen. The guest of honor
was speaking.
"And still l insist that no woman can
do society all the time without neglect

contrary if you" She paused, OBJ
