4 Tough Negro.

Stories of brute toughneSS and Uo-
merle endurance are tenderly preserv-
ed in the folklore of the water front
how, for instance, ScipiO Flanagan,
"the biggest niger in the business
supported the entire weight of an i'm
mense packing case, weighing upward
of 1,S0O, on his PROSTATE body. The
negro held the hand truck to receive
the case, which in the hands of half q
dozen men was being balanced at just
the right angle to slip into place. But
it hit the edge of the truck and knock
ed it away, and the negro unluckily
lost his footing and fell fat with the
great box on top of him. He shrieked
in terror and groaned, it was said, like
siren whistle, but when a gang of
fifteen men lifted the thing bodily and
pulled him out all he did was to screw
his fists into his eyes like Il big child,
stretch his long limbs grotcsqucly and
return to work. OF course he talked
about this feat for many a day.-Frank

DOIOgnn's LcnninE Tower.

Bologna has two great square tow
ers, the Asinelli, which is 315 feet high
and was erected in 100, and its rival,
the Garisenda, which was built one year
later and was originally much higher
and is rendered peculiar by its de-
cided inclination to one side. 1t is
now only 153 feet high, the width of
one side is % feet, the walls at the
base are feet 6 inches thick, while
higher up they are feet . inches. Its
origin is somewhat obscure, but it was
certainly intended to Guido the Ash

blous times. Some say the original in
tention was to make 1t lean, but 9TH

her:

Old DeIuSiOns.

1t is ineXplicable how the old delu-
sion that Il man cannot eat one quail

Amy man can cat one quail day for
thirty days. At Lawrence some years
ago VIII Upton ate two quails Il day
for more than thirty days. For the
first week or two he starved himself
with the idea that he must keep up an
appetite. After that lie sometimes ate
three or four of the birds in day.

SOME ENVlABLE DEATHS.


Many comments on the death of John
p. Altgeld express the idea that it was
an enviable end 70 his remarkable ca
reer. lie had Just concluded an eloquent
address to a great meeting in behalf of
the Beers. His last words spoken for
human liberty, and with the cheers that
greeted them ringing in his ears, he
passed on.
Death has come to only few public
men under such dramatically appropri-
ate circumstances. The great Chatham
was carried from the House of Lords to
die in an ante-chamber-the fatal stroke
cutting short passionate speech in pro-
test against the colonial policy that cul-
minated in American independence. John
Quincy Adams, 1.-THE Old Man Eloquent
was stricken with paralysis on the floor
of congress. where he had spoken so eff
fectively for the sacred right of petition
but he fingered for two days before death
came. William Window, secretary of
the treasury, had Just finished a mastery
speech In defense of sound money before
the New York Board of Trade in Janu-
airy, 1891, when he fell and expired al
most Immediately of heart disease. And
in 1897 Henry George passed from a
great platform triumph directly to his
death-bed.
In century and quarter of American
and English history these are all the
memorable instances of public orator:

THE NEGRO IN THE FAR SOUTH.

THE NEGRO IN THE FAR SOUTH.
The race problem is not destined to be
a very formidable one,-whether from
the political, the social, or the industrial
point of view,-in the former slave
states of Virginia, North Carolina, Ken
lucky. Tennessee. and Missouri. The
negro element in those states remains
relatively stationary. while the white
population is growing rapidly. If the
negro communities in the Northern
states like New York, New Jersey
Pennsylvania, and Ohio are tending to
increase by a considerable percentage,
they are still very inconslderable in com
parisOn with the immense general
growth of these prosperous states. 1t
is in the states farther south that the
negroes are making their principal gains.
The state of largest negro preponder-
ance ten years ago was South Carolina,
where there were 40, III negroes to every
100000 white people. This relative pro-
portion has fallen in ten years to nc, 249.
1t is altogether likely that within twenty
five years the whites will outnumber the
blacks in South Carolina. But in Miss
issippi, where ten years ago there were
136,2Sl blacks for every 100 200 whites,
the proportion has increased to al ,552
These are the only two states now In
which the negroes outnumber the whites
although in Alabama and Florida the
relative proportion of negroes has il.
creased. In Louisiana, on the other
hand, the relative decrease of negroes
has been very marked. Thus, ten years
ago there were 100, l43 negroes to each
100000 whites, Whereas the new censu:
shows only s9,l99 negroes to 100000
whites. In Georgia, the proportions OF
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1902-03-21

the races have remained almost station
ary, there being now 81, 600 for every
100, 900 whites, whereas ten years ago
there were S7,7Sl. In Alabama, there
are now 81, G3G, and In Florida 1900,
blacks for every 100000 whites. All
this points toward the concentration of
the colored population in the relatively
low and warm regions of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
and Louisiana. There has also been a
greater proportionate increase of blacks
than of whites in Arkansas; but the
whites are almost three-quarters of the
population, and the negro gain is unim-

PROSPEROUS VERMONT BANKS.
Some time ago the Essex Publishing
Co. sent to the listers of the cities and
towns of Vermont a request asking the
valuation at which the stock of the banks
in their respective towns were set in the
grand list. In the majority of cases re-
sponses were prompt and the full reports
show that Vermont banking institutions
are, as whole, in a prosperous condl-
ton, as the stock of 90 per cent of these
institutions is held at par or better.
There are 30 banking houses whose stock
is quoted at par and 10 whose stock is
above par. These 10 range from the
Middlebury National of Middlebury, the
Killington National and the Clement
National of Rutland, each at l05, to the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and Trust
Company of Hyde Park, whose stock
finds a ready market at 100. This is the
top notcher of the state, its nearest com
petitor being the Vermont National of
Brattleboro, whose stock is held at no.
There are none others above $50.
The Lamollle County Savings Bank
and Trust Company, of which eX-Gov.
ernor Carroll 5. Page is president, have
rule that they will invest the funds OF
the institution within our own state, and
they religiously live up to this rule. The
wisdom of this policy has been often
questioned by the financiers of the state,
but Mr.. Page always defended the policy
as wise one, and we believe that the
strongest reinforcement he could have to
this defence is to see the stock of his
bank quoted many points higher than
that of any other banking institution in
the Brandon Union.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
THE ANoLo-JAPANEsE TREATY.

THE ANGLO JAPANESE TREATY.
The prevailing opinion seems to be
that the intention of this treaty is to
prevent the conclusion of the agree
ment between Russia and China re-
garding the occupation of Manchuria
that the Russian ambassador, NJ.
Paul Lessar, has been so strenuously
urging at Pekin. In England it has
been declared that the Anglo-Japanese
alliance has the moral sanction of
the United States government, and
that it is in the line OF the socalled
"open-door policy" with which our
government has been especially identi-
fed. While this treaty may have the
effect of retarding somewhat the plan
of formal annexation of Manchuria by
Russia, and may also hamper the
development great region that Russia
alone would seem to be in a position to
open up to peaceful settlement and
profitable commerce, the result in the
end will be Just the same. Nothing
can keep the Russians out of Manchuria.
1t is said, indeed, that England and
Japan believe that within five years they
can so rehabilitate China and promote
reorganization of her army and navy
as to enable the Chinese themselves to
drive the Russian pioneers back from
Manchuria; but this would not seem to
be likely, if one is to Judge from those
accounts of actual conditions in Man
churia that observers have brought us,
such accounts, for instance, as those
so wildly given by Senator Beveridge in
his Saturday Evening Post articles. Man
churia, 1t is to be remembered, is no part
of China in the strict and proper sense,
but only an outlying territory, hereto
fore scantily inhabited, dominated by
robber bands and very loosely and
imperfectly controlled by the Pekin
government. The announcement of
the new treaty had somewhat theatri-
cal effect, and it evidently strengthened
the British government at home. Out
side of England. however, the opinion
seem to prevail that the treaty marked a
very great advance for Japan, now for
the first time received in alliance by a
European power, while not bringing any
corresponding advantage to England
itself. So far as we can Judge, its inn
mediate practical results will be to
strengthen the japanese in Korea, and to
postpone any idea the Russians may
have of putting other powers at com
mercial disadvantage in Manchuria.-
