divided into small districts, and about
200 Sunday-school workers visited every
white family in Augusta. The number
of adults who are church members and
not church members, the number OF
children in Sunday-school and not in
Sunday-school, and the UNCONVENTIONAL

jects of the inquiry.
The information obtained will be col

A Negro with n History.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

FROM the New orleans P1cayune.
Charles Archie johnson, a negro with
very interesting history. is dead at
the city hospital in Mobile, Ala. He
lost one leg at the battle of Murfrees-
borough, while carrying his wounded
master, a Mississippi captain in the
Confederate army, from the firing line.
At one time after the close of the
war, while he was selling papers in
Mobile, he was arrested and exiled by
the Mayor. to New Orleans, but the
Democrats of the city chartered a
steamer and went after the boat which
was carrying Archie into exile, and re-
turned TO Mobile with band playing
Dixie" and banners flying. A parade
was formed, and, with Archie in a
carriage, the procession passed through
dense crowds which cheered Justly for
Archie. Later the Democrats and part
of the Republican party arraigned the
Mayor in the federal court on a charge
of interfering with the personal liber-
ties OF a citizen. There were eminent
lawyers representing the negro, and
the Mayor was fined $3.50.

SACKvILLE-WEST CASE.

London, May 7.-Another chapter in
the sensational claim of Henry Sack
ville-West to be the legitimate heir of
Lord Sackville, former British minis
ter at Washington. was heard to-day
in the Chancery Court. The claimant,
whose full name is Ernest Henri Jean
Baptiste SacHville West, applied for
the appointment of a commission to
examine witnesses in France and
Spain in support of his claim.
Counsel for the plaintiff explained
that the action was for the purpose of
perpetuating testimony in support of
his claims to the title and estate, as
while Lord Sackville was alive the
plaintiff could not bring action to es-
tablish his rights. Henry Sackville-
West, counsel continued, claimed to be
the eldest son of Lord Sackville by his
marriage with Josephine Duran de Or
taga.
The defendants denied the marriage,
alleging that Josephine de Ortaga had
previously been married to Antonio de
la Olivia

ITALY WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT LYNCHINGS.
An Inquiry Was Made In the Cham

An Inquiry Was Made In the Cham
her os Deputies.
Rome, May 7.-Replying in the
Chamber of Deputies to-day to a de-
mand made by Deputy Cirmeni for an
explanation of the present status of the
investigation of the lynching of Ital-
ians at Erwin, Miss, in July, 1901, I'M
der Foreign Secretary Baccelli said
that in spite of the activity of Italian
consular and diplomatic officials, no
convictions had been secured, owing to
the reticence Of witnesses, who per-
sisted in declining to make dispositions.
Signor Baccelli said the American
Congress had voted 5000 for the
families of the victims, but to this
measure the Italian government re-
manned a stranger, as it could not ad-
nit price for blood, although it
would not force the injured parties to
refuse the indemnity. This indemnity
did not, however. in any way, diminish
the value of the protest presented by
the Italian government when it learn
ed that the guilty parties had not been
punished
The under secretary said the Ameri-
can government recognized the justice

kinley and President Roosevelt both
had strongly condemned lynching. Bills
had been introduced in the American
Congress to give the federal authorities
jurisdiction in such cases, but they
were not passed, because the individual
states were jealous of their own Juris-
diction. Few Europeans were lynched
In the United States, while $50 Amer
cans were lynched annually; for this
reason foreign intervention asking for
change in legislation would not be
admitted.
For the present" continued Signor
Baccelli, Il can only hope that the
great American nation, which in many
respects stands at the head of civili-
cation, will understand that lynching
is a custom which certainly is no hon
or to so lofty a civilization, and that
it will suppress 1t. In the meanwhile,
our diplomatic and consular officials
will continue their efforts to prevent
these bloody acts, and to discover and
punish the guilty parties"

with much applause

BURROUGHS AT FAULT.
The Old BOOSTERS Do Teach the

The Old BOOSTERS Do Teach the

Observer.
From Forest and Stream.
According to Mr.. John Burroughs,
the old ROSTERS do not teach the
young to crow, and the cock grouse
does not teach the young male to drum
Writers on natural history for many
years have called attention to the
drumming of the grouse in the fall,
heard mostly in the night time. Some
have claimed that the old males were
teaching the young, and my experience
leads me to believe that this is the true
solution to fall drumming For eigh-
teen years it has been my practice to
sleep in the open air from --pril to
| December. l hear all the wild sounds
that abound in the woods, and some of
| these sounds are very interesting. Not
| far from my cabin there is boulder
where the grouse drum. In the early
fall, before the birds are scattered by
hunters, l hear the old grouse teach
! ing the young to drum. The old bird
sends up the roll with as much force
as in the mating season. The young
the roll, but keep trying every evening,
until they meet with fair success.
| Hearing / believe, and no assertions
| by Mr. Burroughs can make me dis
credit my sense of hearing. Mr.. Bur-
roughs asks: Does the rooster teach
| its young TO crow?"
Certainly it does. 1 am surprised
that Mr.. Burroughs should express a
doubt on the subject l have under
stood that ne was reared on a farm,
and l supposed that all farmers knew
the proverb, THE old cock crows and
the young one learns" The old roos-
ters confine their Growing mostly to
the morning hours, until the young
roosters are old enough to learn to
crow Then they crow throughout
the day. at short intervals, to show the
young the proper thing. The young
birds slowly acquire the true notes, but
the old ones patiently continue the
lessons.
Young birds removed out of hearing
will not learn to crow. A grasshopper
year. when l was farming, threatened
the destruction of a large field of cab
bage. l put up chicken house in the
center of the field and stocked it with
over a hundred chickens. There was

but not one attempted to crow, al
though they remained in the field I'M
til cold weather. Their mates left at
the poultry house had become fair
growers, under the teaching of several
old ROSTERS. AS soon as the young
ROSTERS returned to the poultry yards
they began to learn to crow. Every
now and then poultry papers bring out
the fact that young roosters will not
crow without a teacher.

Secretary Gage, the same number of
letters. Mr.. Payne came into the cabi-
net when Charles Emory Smith went

Long, a loss of one letter The five
men named have two letters less in
their names than the five men who pre-
coded them.
The value of a short name in de-
partmentall work is appreciated by
heads of departments and their as
sistants. The thousands of documents
TO be signed daily make it laborious
and tedious work to repeat a long sig
nature so often. In fact, hundreds of
men have wished that they could have
attained equal fame and Importance
under shorter names. 1t is nearly al
ways the case that when a new cabl-
net officer takes charge he will begin
by signing his name in full, like Ben
jamin B. Smith," but he will not keep
this up long, and in a month will have
reached the conclusion that "B. B.
Smith" is good enough for all official
papers. In some especial document he
may sign his name in full style, but
he reserves that as a sort of special
affair, like a Sunday suit of clothes.

From the Washington Star.


The present cabinet is made up Of
men with shorter names than any set
of cabinet officials in many years. Five
of the nine advisers of the President
bear names of only one syllable each.
These are Secretaries Hay, Root, Shaw,
Postmaster General Payne and Attor-
ney General Knox. Secretary Moody
has not long name; neither has Sec
rotary Wilson. Secretary Hitchcock
has nine letters and two syllables in
his name. Secretary CorteIyou has nine
letters and three syllables. His is the
hardest of all the cabinet names to
pronounce. All the others are plain.
The predecessors of these men, how
ever, did not have long names, and If
the letters of all the men who imme-
diately preceded them were put to-
gether the results would be almost the
same as at present-in fact, just one
letters difference. Secretary Hay sue
ceeded Secretary Day, the same num-
Der of letters. Secretary Root succeed
