HusnANn-REATER.

There are many new women" i'll Kansas and some new men. One of the new men has just applied to the courts for release from his wife, who has been treating him with intolerable cruelty. In his petition he tells how his wife was wont to become enraged and swear at him and then strike him with her brutal fists Patiently he bore with these bursts of temper, hoping against hope that she would do better in the future, but the outbreaks became more frequent, the blows fell oftener with greater flerceness, his tears and pa- tience grew less effective, and at last he fled in terror and took refuge in the home of his parents.
 An example should be made of this Kansas husband-beater. When a gen. tie, trusting man marries a woman he gives up much for her sake, and he is entitled to be loved and cherished. When instead of love and kindness cuffs and kicks are his portion the law should step in and show the brutal wife that there is a limit to the sufferings a husband is obliged to endure.

(senussD one of his khalifas. or lieu tenants.
 About the time Of the Fashoda crisis the Senussi Sheikh made an important movement southwest into the Tripoli hinterland. When. in March, 1899, the Anglo-French agreement defining our respective spheres of action in North Central Africa was made. it was found that the Senussi country lay entirely within the French sphere. For time the campaign against Rabeh kept tn" French fully engaged but last year the forces of the French and the SenuSsi came into conflict in Kanem, the king dom in which the Seuussi is reported to have died. For many years the follow CTS of the Senussi had spoken of their Sheikh as Fl Mahdi-"the guided one," who is expected to complete the work left unfinished by the Prophet-and from the reports which have reached France of the fighting in Kanem it would appear that the Senussists have proclaimed a holy war" It is, how ever, impossible as yet to estimate the strength of the Senussi army, or wheth CT the brotherhood intends at this time seriously to challenge the advance of the French. At present. the Colonial ministry in Paris has given orders for all aggressive military movements to ceaaa. Judging from past experience it might be expected that the Senussi would remain quiescent if left alone. They have, however, largely extended their influence westward during the past two years, Kanem, which lies northeast of Lake Chad, being the last country to fall under their sway. In 1899, when Kanem was traversed by the Foureau-Lamy and Joilland missions, it was free from Senuissism. Since then Mohammed es-Senussi and the Sultan of Wadai have placed themselves in closer relations with the Sultan of Tur- key, and through the vilayet of Tripoli there exists safe and easy means of communication--and of importing war like stores. If the new head of the brotherhood-who will be either a son or brother of the Sheikh just deceased were to choose to begin an active cam paign he would not lack for men, mon ey or munitions-and the Arabs of the Sahara are among the finest fighters in
 the world. Not only would the French position on Lake Chad be threatened, hammed Sidi, a descendant of the Pro- but aalso it might be found that the newly established British posts in Bor- nu would be in danger. Indeed, the whole of North Africa might be in volved in the conflict. Nothing is known of the personality of the Senussi leaders, and this ignorance greatly adds to the perplexity of the situation.-Lon- don Evening Standard.

CAN DO BUSIR ESS.

The evidence is increasing that there is business in the negro. and that the negro is in business. The meeting of the National Negro Business League at Richmond, Virginia, last week was very encouraging to those who believe that the negro has soul enough in him to do business successfully. Some very interesting stories of business effort and success were told by members of the League. For instance, that of A. c. Howard, a young coiored man who not many years ago was running as a DOT ter in Pullman car out of Chicago. Of an inventive turn of mind, he began to experiment in the making of shoe backing, succeeding in year or so in producing a satisfactory article. The porter went on running, and in his lay offs in Chicago made backing and sold it until he had saved $1S0. With this as capital he embarked in business life as a manufacturer of shoe-polish. That was less than six years ago Now it takes three teams to supply the trade in Chicago alone with his shoe-polish

THE TRUSTS.

The contribution of U. M. Rose, pres ident of the American Bar Association, to the trust discussion is as interesting and perhaps as important as any that has been made. He isn't as hopeful about the situation as some are, but perhaps that is because he knows more about it than some do. Mir Rose re- views the history of monopoliesr since before the days of Pharaoh. He shows that for the fifty monopolies which op- pressed the people under Queen Eliza beth we have more than 4,000, to say nothing of price and rate fixing and profit sharing pools, all organized for the purpose of fixing prices arbitrarily" He recalls that the Greek, the Roman and the English common law all prohib- ited monopolies, in spite of which mo- nopolies existed. He points out that the most drastic state legislation in this country-instancing that of South Car olina, which is fiercer if anything, than the laws of Missouri and Texas-has been powerless to curb the trusts. He discusses President Roosevelt's propos- ed remedy of publicity and doubts its effectiveness, because the science of flexible bookkeeping" has gone so far that reports of the corporations would not reveal things which the managers wished to keep secret. The proposition to amend the Constitution Mir. Rose re- gards as "a very drastic remedy indeed one that would greatly strengthen the lobby, one that might introduce an era of political corruption hitherto un- known" Tariff reduction, MT. Rose thinks, would have an excellent effect in limiting the control of prices by those trusts whose wares it affected, although the relief would necessarily be partial.
 If the trusts need restraint, and if there isn't strong probability that they can be adequately dealt with by law, where are we?

REMARKs BY THE EASY BOSS.

When Senator Platt of New York talks he is apt to say something. This is what he says about the action of the New York Republicans at their State convention next month: The platform which will be adopted by the State con- vention next month will contain a very warm Endorsement of the administra- ton of President Roosevelt, but 1t will not declare for his renomination in 1904 The platform will contain plank on the subject of trusts, but at this time it is impossible to say how this will be worded. No one knows how far the platform will go on this subject. but the matter is receiving the considera- ton that it's importance deserves. l cannot say that the platform will go as far on this subject as the President has gone in the speeches he has been mak- ing in New England
 When it is remembered that the Re- publicans of Pennsylvania, Iowa. Kan sas, and other States where conventions have been held have declared for the reriomination of President Roosevelt the significance of Boss platts remark that New York will not do it is very significant.

THE SENUsSI MAHDI.
Death of the Leader of Powerful Reli-
 gious and Military Fraternity

Death of the Leader of Powerful RelI-
 gious and Military Fraternity.
 The death of the sheikh Mohammed es-Senussi is an event of some impor- tance. Senussi was the acknowledged
 head of a powerful semi-religious, semi
 military confreternity, whose head quarters were in the Borku oasis of the Sahara. but whose influence extended from Morocco to Mecca and from Lake Chad to Darfur. The founder of the sect, who preached return to the primitive doctrines of the Koran, was
 Mohammed Sidi, father of the Sheikh whose death is now announced. Mo-
 phet, through Fauna, gained a great reputation in Fez. some seventy years ago for canctity. He performed the pill grimage to Mecca and afterwards founded convent at Alexandria. His doctrines not finding favor with the
 Sheikh ul-Islam, Mohammed Sidi re-
 tired to the Libyan Desert. At first he settled near Bengazi, in the peninsula
 of Barea, afterwards removing to Jera-
 bub, near the oasis of Siwa. At Jera-
 bub he gathered together a large fol- lowing, and when he died, in or about 1860, the Senussi organization was firm ly established. His son, who cherished bitterly antf-Christian feelings, had largely extended the power of the brotherhood, which now has converts scattered all over North Africa. Dur ing the seventies he removed into the Sahara to the oasis of Kufra and en- tirely closed the desert to European travellers. He acquired predominant influence over the ancient Sultanate of Wadai, which he prevented from falling under the sway of Mohamet Ahmed. the
 Suran Mahdi. With the Mahdis move ment Senussi would have nothing to do, and he contemptuously rejected Mo hamet Ahmed's offer to make him

When the excursion train from Paris filled with negroes, bound for the camp meeting, reached this city, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, it passed the station and went through Cynthiana at 3 rate Of about twenty-five miles an hour, the idea being to keep the crowd on board until the arrival at the grounds at the Falmouth Pike crossing. Just before reaching Pike street a negro man jumped from the train. Of course, the momentum of the cars carried him along at 8 terrific pace. His body was going so fast that his legs could not possibly keep up, but they made val iant effort to do so, and such a lickety- split negro never cut before. He gall
 loped across the gutter at Pike street at tremendous speed, barely missed a telephone pole, flew up into the air, turned couple of somefsaults, and landed all in heap in the middle. of the street. His eyes were as big as saucers and seemed to pop out. As he slowly gathered himself together his trousers were split, his knees were bruised and bleeding, his arms were wrenched, his coattails were in tatters, and his batter ed stiff hat was mashed down right over his ears. At that moment negro girl who knew him came along. Why, how do you do, MT. Hopkins? ?" she exclaim- ed. "Why, how do you do?" he an-

It will surprise most people to read that the jinrikisha is not Japanese in vention. It was the notion of an American named Goble, who was cob bier, peddler and missionary in Yokoha- ma, long ago. He was an honest and good man, it is said, and designed the vehicle, for his frequent travels in the country, and the first one was made by a Japanese blacksmith "either in Kawasaki or Fujisawa," writes an old resident in the Kobe Chronicle. The Japanese immediately accepted the jinrikisha, but it was long before the foreigners took it up.

According to the Philadelphia Ledger, George W. Guthrie, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, was asked the other day if he could suggest single logical issue upon which William Jennings Bryan might again come before the people as a candidate for President. He replied that Bryan never had but one issue, and that his position was exactly that of a negro fish peddler MT. Guthrie once encountered in Pittsburg. The peddler was urging his horse along with cruel blows from heavy stick. and all the time crying at the top of his voice,
 Herrin'! Her-rin'! Get yo' fresh her. rin'!" MT. Guthrie, wishing to save the horse, stopped the peddler and asked,
 Have you no mercy, fellow?" 'Nope!" was the reply, "nothin' 'cept herrin'!"

WOOD PULP AND THE FORESTS ! The prohibitive duty on wood pulp
 not only makes 1t an impossibility for
 the national treasury to be enriched,
 but it is burdensome to that magnifi-
 cent industry--the American newspa
 per. Apart from that, the duty on l wood pulp has taken from the Ameri-
 can forests the protection to which they
 are entitled, to the absence of which
 protection disastrous floods, involving
 not only loss of millions of dollars of
 property, but immeasuraby more valu- 1 a ble lives, are due.
 Testimony taken before the industrial commission, at Washington, and now among the records of the committee of
 ways and means of the house and the finance committee of the senate. shows that within two months after the for mation of the Wood Pulp Trust and af- ter the imposition of the prohibitive duty, the trust purchased thousand
 square miles of spruce woodlands, in addition to the six hundred square
 miles the constituent companies pos sessed prior to the organization of the International Paper company. In addi-
 ton to that sixteen hundred square miles, the trust also purchased one sim gle tract of spruce woodland in the Ad- irondacks four hundred square miles in extent, with options on all other Adj rondack spruce woodland not controlled by the state of New York, the acreage owned in fee by the trust being two thousand square miles. No estimate of the options is available, but that the op- tions are held has been officially an- nounced in a prospectus of the Wood Pulp Trust circulated among it's vic tims as an evidence of it's strength and possessions.
 It is not to be supposed that the agents of the trust are inactive in securing the country for other eligible spruce forests, especially when the out put of the trust is thirteen thousand tons, or twenty-six million pounds per day. The daily output of the three competitors of the trust-al charging trust prices-is seven hundred and fif- ty-five tone, or 15,l00,000 pounds per day, total output of 2,055 tons, or 4l,- 1OO,0 GOO pounds per day.
 With that enormous output, and with the demand of the American public for daily and weekly papers-to say noth- ing of the pamphlets, briefs, monthly papers, etc.--it will need no demonstra- tion to show the effective work of the Wood Pulp Trust in destruction of the forests. Its destruction of the forests allows free scope for the floods of rain and melting snow from the hillside to find their way unobstructed to the streams on their errands of sweeping away farm products, merchandise articles, bridges, dwell ings and human beings.
 The duty on wood pulp comes within the category of the taxes spoken of by President Mckinley as most burden some on the industries of the people the Wood Pulp Trust in the meantime it's brawny fist in the face of the president, of congress and of state authorities in their efforts toward say ing the forests of the land from anni- hila ation.-Cincinnati Commercial Tri- l hune.
