Says Negro Will Die Out.

A sensation has been created in
Muscatine, Iowa, by Rev. j. l.. Murphy.
who said in lecture on the race
problem that the study OF the socio-
logical condition Of the negro today
proves that he i, deterioratlng in tins
country, will later lapse int o barbarism
and finally become extinct He points
out that before the war the negro was
Trustworthy and the honor of any
woman Of the South was safe without
the protection of white men. Today,
however, a white woman scarcely
dares venture forth alone. Mr.. Muir
ply says that not only is the black
man becoming degraded morally IN the
South, but also physically. Physicians
testify that he is more susceptible to
disease than few years ago, and
especially in pulmonary troubles.
Pneumonia il almost always fatal.
The position taken by Mr.. Murphy ls
that in time the progressive class Of
blacks will tire Of the conditions in
this country and return to their former
African home to teach their fellow
blacks, while those left in this country
will then rapidly become extinct.

In the Treasure Room.

Years ago the directors of the Bank
of England were startled by an iDvi-
tation sent by mail to meet an unknown
man in the strong room Of the bank
at midnight among the money chests.
81 have been inside the bank the last
two nights" wrote the man, "but /
am not thief so meet me in the
great square room with all the money
at II tonight. D" Though the letter
was regarded as a hoax, the police
were notified, and they guarded the
strong room that night. Nothing
happened. A few days later heavy
chest Of papers and securities taken
from the strong room arrived at the
bank, with letter complaining that
the directors had set the police on the
writer, and that therefore be had not
appeared as he promised, but to prove
that he was neither a thief nor fool
he sent chest Of papers be had taken
from the bank. Let a few gentlemen
be alone in the room and he would
join them at midnight, said the writer.
This time his instructions were obeyed.
Then a man with dark lantern burst
into the strong room Of the bank at
midnight, after calling from behind
the stone walls for the directors to
put out the lights. He was one Of a
strange class of men who gained a
living by searching sewers at night,
and through an opening from a sewer
be had found bis way into the richest
room in the world.

The Boy and the Mil.

Nearly hundred years ago far
mer went from Lehigh Valley, Penn
sylvania, into the Valley of Wyoming,
and bought a piece of land through
which a stream flowed. On the stream
was an old-fashioned mill for grinding
wheat and corn. The farmer knew
very little about machinery, but the
man who sold the place to him spent
a day in showing him how to run the
mill. He had three boys-twelve,
fourteen and sixteen years old. OF
course, boy-like, they were interested,
and watched and listened all day.
Next morning, grist having come
in, the farmer and hi. two elder boys
tried to run the mill, while Johnny,
the youngest, was helping his mother
in the house. But they could not
make it go. After wasting an hour
or two, the father said Boys, 1t is
of no use. We will take our axes
and go over to the creek and work in
the clearing"
Towards noon one of the boys, look
ing about as boys will, suddenly cried,
"Why, the mill is going" And the
father said, Its Johnny's foolishness,
but it will soon stop" 1t did not
stop, however, and when they went
home to dinner they found that the
grist was ground and in the bin ready
for sacking Johnny had given close
attention to the explanations of tn"
man of whom his father bought the
place, and thinking be understood the
machinery, he persuaded his mother
to help him to start the big wheel,
and then he tended the gearing and
the hoppers, and the result was satis-
factory.
From that time on the father put
the mill in charge Of Johnny, and he
ran it successfully for years. During
these years he read all the books that
be could get. and studied how to do
things The result was that in early
manhood he built himself a much lar
ger mill, and sthen became an archl-
tect and contractor. And, although
he died at forty-fve, some Of the best
buildings, dams and bridges in the
country survive as monuments Of his
ability and energy.
believe that in this country every
boy has an opportunity. But he
needs to appreciate it when it comes
and to do his best to improve it. Any
man who met Johnny when he was
thirty OF forty years old would have
thought that be hadrecelved a thorough
education. He was familiar with all
the best works Oh architecture and en-
gineering, and was good craftsman.
But, in fact, he never went to school
but few months in al, and that was
only to learn to read and write He
was self.educated.

To The Lord Of The Years.

This rolling sea of stars
Is dust before thy breath,
Whose pleasure m axes or mars
The hills of life and death.
Thy least desire is heard
Beyond the vasts of space,
And beings core is stirred
At turning of thy face.
The cycles of earth's years
Are phases in thy dream,
Unblurred by drift of tears,
Untouched Of shade and CLEAN.
Yet of thy will we are
And children of thy word,
With every sun and star,
With every flower and bird.
Then grant we may not fail,
From out thy vision vast,
When life's strong warder quail
Before death icy blast.
But may we still aspire
To things unknown, unguessed,
More near the hearts desire
Than this poor body's quest.

THE ORDER REVERSED.
American School of Magnetic Healing
Fraud Order Set Aside.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-Justice Peckham
of the nited States Supreme court. Mon
day, delivered the opinion of the court
in the case of American School of Mag
netic Healing VS.. I'M. McAnnulty. post
master at the town of Nevada, Mo-,
where the school is located. The proceed
ing grew out of fraud order issued by
the post office department prohibiting the
postmaster from delivering letters adj
dressed to the school. The original bill
asked for an injunction to prohibit the
postmaster from obeying this order.
On trial in the United States circuit
court for the western district of Mis-
souri, the departments order was sls-
tanned on demurrer. Today's opinion
reverses the Judgment. but in delivering
it Justice Peckham said that there was
no intention of passing upon the various
constitutional objections set out in the
bill the intention of the court being TO
''simply hold that the admitted facts
show TO violation of the statutes cited
but an erroneous order given by the proc
Iamation by the defendant which the
courts have the power to grant relief
against"
Justices White and McKenna did not
concur in the opinion.

EUROPEAN CROPS.
Record Wheat Crop in Russia-Othcr
Reports Favorable.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The depart
ment of agriculture has received the
following from it's statistical agent at
London under date of Nov. 4:
owing to the unusual lateness of the
harvest throughout Il large part of
Europe and partly also to unfavOrable
weather for field work, the autumn
sowings have been much delayed in a
number of countries.
RUSSIA has record cereal crop.
The estimate of the Russian ministry
of agriculture shows a total wheat crop
Of 401, 631, $50 bushels in European
Russia. In Finland there is Il deficiency.
While the condition of each of
the winter grains in Germany is above
the average, that of the most impor-
tant of them, winter rye is but just
above it, while all three show conGi-
tons inferior to those of three preced-
ing years.
THE cereal harvest of 1902 in Austria
is satisfactory, but maize is far below
the average.
I'm France rye is the only cereal crop
that falls below the crop of 1901. The
official estimate Of the Italian wheat
crop is 1871 101, 740 bushels. a reduction Of
Is per cent. from 1901. Unofficial fig
urcs for Great Britain indicate on the
whole fairly satisfactory crops, though
the quality of the cereals undoubtedly
has suffered considerably from the wet
weather.
