cotton, frnits and vegetables. Well
improved farms are scattered through

small clearings and some improvements
can be bought very cheap. Our de-

PROFE.sOR DUNBAR, Of Hamburg,
Germany. who for seven years has
studied the problem Of hay fever, throws
some light on that subject in a publish
ell article. lie say that the disease Is
caused by the pollen of grasses, but not
b.. mechanical irritation. He has taken
from pollen a poison or toxin which
being soluble in water, produces hay
fever when a drop Of it is put in the eye
or nose. A curative serum was then
produced by inoculating animals. EX-
periments since January of the present
wear. he claims, have shown that this
serum, when applied four or five times
t. hay fever patients, resulted in cures.
So far DIR. Dunbar has not been able to
get toxin from any plant of the grass
family. so many discoveries Of cures
for hay fever have proven worthless that
people have become skeptical concern
ing them. but should DR.. Dunbar sue
oeed in even partially relieving the suf-
ferers of this painful malady thousands
would rise up and call him blessed.

* HIS sermon on 'The Passion Tor
1-sefulpess' at All Souls Church, IN
New York, on Sunday last, Rev. Thomas
r. Slicer referred to the existing LABOR
troubles as follows:
What is it which is causing all OF the
trouble between labor unions and EN-
nloyers today? 1t is because the labor
unions are misled by demagogues who
d..ire to further their own ends, and be-
cause they are organized around basis
of hate rather than desire for the high
est usefulness. Their members, as has
recently been shown, would rather fore
oo the condemnation Of vicious leader
than believe in the brotherhood OF man.
and until they put away such leaders
there will be no solution of the problem.
Some labor organizations, the members
of which are as o6seryant as the reverend
gentlemen quoted above, have long since
realized the truth of his utterances
Demapogues are ever on the alert to ride
labor hobbies, and it is often noticed
that those who are loudest in cham
pioning the cause of workingmen are
people who seldom work themselves.
The American mechanic should repu-
date the services of all would-be lead
ers who are seeking to ride into power
and prominence at the expense of honesf
toilers.

A Card.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette
In defense of myself | will state a
few facts in regard to my unjust arrest
on September "a.
In the first place, the Mayor by his
own admission at my trial proved that |
had not violated the law when he said
that mo conductor had the right to de-
prive a passenger of his seat unless he
could provide him with a seat elsewhere
on the train.
Now as Conductor Bell could not, and
did not try TO procure me another seat,
and wanted to deprive me of the one |
occupied, he, aud not /, was violating
the law; so | was perfectly justified in
retaining my seat. Ny reason for not
accepting the seat proffered by Mr.. Yer
non was because | did not wish to de-
prive him of it, and it would have been
useless for me to have changed my seat
later on as / was virtually under arrest
when the train left Arlington Junction.
| have frequently seen white and colored
men occupying the same seat on the
electric cars since the passage of the
"Jim Crow" law and they we're not mo-
Tested, and why l should have been Sc
lected to be made an example Of is past
my comprehension. | leave it to all
tair-minded citizens to decide whether !
was fairly dealt with or not.

against the United States, asking that
damages of 81, 600 600 be awarded be-
cause of the expenses to which the In
dams have been subjected in defending
title to their lands. In this petition they
make some sensational statements and
prefer charges of fraud against the
