INVENTOR OF THE BATON.
How 1T Caused the Death OF the Man
Who First Introduced the Band
Leaders Wand

The inventor Of the baton has been
discovered. According to the investi-
cations of a Frenchman the credit be-
longs to Lully, the composer, who
eventually had cause to regret his in
vention.
Before he adopted the baton, con
ductors were in the habit Of pounding
on the floor with their feet or clappins
their hands to mark the time. Lully
found it wearisome to keep his foot
constantly in motion, and so used a
stick to strike the floor and beat time.
He used pole SIX feet long.
One day he brought down the pole
with such force that it struck his foot
and made a deep wound He paid no
attention to the matter. The wound
gre" worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried
more and more to improve the baton
and it was ultimately brought to its
present form.

NEGROES DON'T MIGRATE.
Some Interesting Facts About the
COlOred Race Revealed ky the
! Recent Census.

There were 6.5OO, 600 colOred persons
in the United States in $50, 800 eco in
1890, and s,SG0,O00 in 1900. A general
movement" of colored inha bitants from
one stat to another or from one sec
tion of the country to another due TO
economic, political or hygienic reasons
has been declared to be in progress at
intervals Of two or three years since
the close of the civil war
But the figures Of each succeeding
census prove that the colored pcpula-
tiOn Of the United Statee is by no means
migra tory; it changes little year by
year except as the result of the ordi-
nary increase in population. Various
mbitious projects Of leaders to "col-
onize' certain states have failed entire
ly. In Kansas, for instance. there are
only 5000 more cplored inhabitants
than there were 20 years ago, though
Kansas has long been the mecca of
many cOlored coLon:zers.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

The city council met in semi.
monthly session Monday even
ing, Mayor Wilson presiding and
Aldermen Knapp, Mcdonald,
Hooker, Seanor, Radcliffe, War
ner, Paulk and Leverett present.
The minutes of last meeting
were read and approved without
amendment.
The Aldine Hotel, through it's
proprietor, Mr.. w. II. Paulk.
made application for half rates
Tor water and lights. This re.
quest was based on the action of
the council several weeks ago in
granting half rates to the Lee
Grant. The council seemed to
realize that it had set bad pre-
cedent and made a play for time.
1t was suggested that probably
the Lee-Grant would be closed
by the next meeting of the coun-
Gil and the request was tabled
until then.
Council Immediately reversed
itself on another proposition,
that of permitting the redemp-
ton of lots bought by the city at
tax sales. For a long time it has
been the practice of the council
to allow the redemption of lots
bought in by the city at tax sales
although the time limit may have
elapsed and the lots legally the
property of the city. A test vote
was had on proposition for the.
redemption of lot sold for 1898
taxes. The motion was lost on
a tie vote. -

Pull for cambridge or pull out"
and that they appreciate the COM
mon sense and practically and
that one man built a new house,
another man followed suit and
the example was catching and
new houses sprang up every
where. This comes as an echo
from our slogan, Pull for Fitz-
gerald or pull out"
