who will subscribe to a policy thai
means eventually a possible negro

There Is only one solution to the
negro question. The nation must re-
cede from the position taken by IL on
the matter of negro suffrage The
nation must remit to the state control
OF the suffrage issue. This may be a
great concession. but is a concession
OF sound common sense. You soon
must tell the negro that he cannot
have all that he expects: you will have
to tell him this at the cost of a race

.FRATERNAL CONGRESS
FOR SPECIFIED RATES
Adopts Law Compelling New organiza-
tions to Become Registered
Rate Associations.

milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 31.-The ma
tional fraternal congress came to
close Friday night after action on the
proposed uniform bill containing thir-
ty-three sections. Until section 80
was reached most of the discussion
was confined to legal phraseology, but
at this section the storm broke.
Section 80 provides that all organi-
cations hereafter organized shall be-
come registered rate associations"
This means the adoption of specified
.ates. Old organizations may become
so at their option. Section 81 pro-
vides that all of these registered rate
associations shall file annual reports,
from which the commissioner shall
compute the net value of every GER
tificate in force among the members
Of the society.
If on such computation the commits
sioner finds that the reserve of the so
,iety Is not sufficient to cover the value
OF the certificate he shall order the de-
ficiency made up, or the difference de-
Quoted from each certificate. Section
32 defines the word association as used
In the measure, and section 33 repeats
all laws in conflict with the measure.
Section 81 was adopted by a vote Of
104 to 81.

SLEEPING GIRL VICTIM

Throat of 12-Year-OId Lass Is Cut
While She Is in Bed With
Her Father.

Richmond. Mich. Aug. 31-Twelve-
year-old Agnes Douglas throat was
cut while she was sleeping with her
father The child's mother was at a
neighbours and the father says he
awoke and found Agnes bleeding on
the floor. 1t was nearly half an hour
after the child was found before DR..
Mccarthy arrived at the house and
Agnes lost so much blood that her
condition for a time was considered
serious, but it is believed she will re.
cover. Another child, aged z years,
was also in bed with the father, but
did not waken until Agnes had been
found on the floor and is unable to
tell anything about the matter.
The father is a laboring man and
has always been a quiet, inoffensive
person. Several older children were
asleep in other rooms, but heard moth.
ing until awakened after the finding
of Agnes.
DR.. Mccarthy is convinced that a
knife was used to cut the little girls
throat When the child became able
to talk she said that all she knew was
that she found herself on the floor
bleeding.

Enloxlnu Your EmpIoxmsnt.

the sources-daily sources-of profita-
BILE originality. Though very few get
living doing just what they want to
do, yet many succeed and improve
their world of work. leaving their sub

1t. Desire to do something well helps
people succeed though working at
their second or third choice of en-
ployment. A Chicago man with ma
tional reputation told me he had never
done the work he always wanted to
do. The work he wanted to do may
have been some youthful fancy. He is
q great success in the work he has
done. Interest in your work brightens
your eye, sharpens your thought and
quickens your ear. We are continually
walking over good things-better
things-proftable opportunities. While
waiting with friends for a belated
train placed coin on the walk to see
how many would walk over 1t. We
got the value of the coin in entertain

the old lady with a basket who found

helps us keep awake and thinking
straight. "A short-sighted person could
see a dime on high hitching post,
yet be blind to a gold eagle on the

its quality. Some of the things / tell

New York, Aug. 31.-"There Is still
no indication of the depression in
trade and industry that pessimists
predicted would follow the decline in
securities. Conservatism was devel-
oped by the uncertainty regarding the
effect upon financial conditions, but
legitimate business is able to secure

more cautious progress of business
gives promise of greater permanent
gain. Weak spots have been disclosed,

The decline has now reached its limit,

steel industry. 1t is estimated that a
large tonnage of structural steel will
soon be ordered for delivery in 1904,
although this is in a large measure
dependent on labor controversies. The
railways are still vigorous purchasers

Ien Years Prom Now.

While studying a boy, who was
standing In the car aisle with his
mother waiting for the gateman to
put another coach on the train, I
wondered what our boys and girls
must know in order to make them
selves useful ten to twenty years from
now Some educators think higher
education units women for their best
sphere, and we all know that some
kinds of schooling-excessiye educa-
tion-unfits men for any kind of use.
AfuI work. But true education never
injuries any one-it helps every one.
Over education is like running too far
before you jump-it binders you from
doing that for which you are running.
Some wise men are advising students
TO cut off one of their four years en-
their books and invest 1t in some prac-
tical line of work. A banker told me
1t was easier to find new ideas than 1t
was to get executive ability TO promote
the ideas. One of the Best terms Of
schooling have had was in wrench

Private Time Possibilities.

Thirty minutes week for thirty
years is sufficient time for any person
to develop a useful side-line subject
to an altitude requiring international
attention.
Private time study requires a great
self-control. Generally there is no
time for 1t or too much time spent on
it. Zeal for short time is easier than
persistency and good judgment for
decades.
One Of the most successful lawyers
in the United States told me that a
night school was OF great use to him.
He attended class after he had been
admitted to the bar. to overcome one
Of his deficiencies.
Here are few items from my let.
ter to young people, on ten minutes q

A minute is something like dime.
1t can be used usefully or abused
shamefully.
1t can be invested in way to bring

1t is fortunate for young people to
voluntarily see this manner
1t is expensive experience to have
to learn it Involuntary.
Take a note book costing dime,
more or less. and spend ten minutes

year.
In ten years that means fifty days

say the FIVE hundred hours have In

your efforts.
You can do this, and IL you do It
you are sure to gain by it.
Every day add sentence or para

Watch for something to write or
paste In your book; have your eyes,
ears and mind ever ready to catch
go~l hints in your work and recrea-
ton, your reading and conversation.
Every day re-read some one para
graph or sentence and try to twist 1t
into fresh shape to help you do the
best you can to-day, and, II possible,
better tomorrow.

how to live and live as well as we

is rendered uninhabitable by the odor
of corpses which are being gnawed by
dogs and pigs, the Turkish authorities

Krushevo is situated on the sum-

After making fortunes abroad by
their diligence and economy. they re-
turn to spend their wealth in Krushe-

ants of the surrounding villages have
long enyied the prosperity of Kru-
shevo.
The Macedonian committee in con-

completing arrangements during sew

the town. In July last the authorities
of Krushevo, observing the threaten

Monastir to send achievements. as

attack. These warnings were ignored.
On the night of August band Of
three hundred insurgents. headed By

The terrified inhabitants remained
indoors. The band first burned the
residence of the mudir and massacred
the officials Of the town.
On the following morning the Kom-

to contribute $4,000 to the revolution
