came to tell how her little girl had

to be getting well. We did everything

passed Is Is bound TO revert to his

must try to reform him.
mot every country home is suitable

hours before a domestic tragedy (to

HAS REASON FOR HOPE.

Providence, r. l., June 3.-Rev.
Newell d. Hills, president of the Con-
gregational Home Mission Society, to-
night delivered the annual sermon be-
fore that body.
On the negro question he said: "A
law with it's grandfather clause makes
it possible for illiterate whites to vote,
but not all illiterate blacks. The men
who ought to be public leaders are say
ing, Let the South settle the problem
in its own way. We are sick and tired
of the whole agitation. If the white
people, on the ground. have taken away
the elective rights, responsibility is
with them
But how can you educate a child
race save by throwing them on their
own resources? If we want to fit the
Italian and the German and the Pole
for suffrage, we must permit them to
vote and suffer in consequence of their
error, If error they commit.
1.-THE colored race has reason for
hope. When God is carried to the
cemetery, it will be time for the colored
people to become respondent. Men
have skunk back into the old copperhead
mood, and leaders who once had great
convictions and loved the people, have
forgot the debt of the strong to the
weak"

Methods to Make Man of Him De-
scribed mt Conference.
From the New York Tribune.
IF you want to reform bad boy un-
der fifteen. send him into the country;
but if he's sixteen, or seventeen, or
eighteen, keep him in the city-that's
my experience" said David Willard at
the last monthly conference of the
Charity Organization Society.
Mr.. Willard is probation officer at
the general and special sessions and
the city magistrates courts, and every
one of the many persons present saw
at a glance that he had lot to say
worth saying about city Boys; Their
Temptations, Means of Rescue in Town
and Country"
Before attempting any reformation
of a boy" said Mr.. Willard. "you must
first find out what the reason is for
his being bad. A boy may steal some
thing from a pushcart because he IS
hungry, but because he did thing
like that one wouldn't necessarily place
him I'm the category of bad boys. In
general there are fourv reasons for n
boys badness--a foul Home, unsuitable
surroundings, wretched parental disci-
pline and general cussedness on the
part OF the boy, known as temperament.
Now. up to the age of l5, boy is
adaptable. Send him 10 a farm and
he will grow into the country life ana
come 10 love II for good. After that
he longs for the city life. He wants
10 get back 10 Il. Country life amuses
him for only a few weeks. Sooner or
later. he'll run of back 10 the city.

Seven street car lines are in opera

pumping late tonight. Railroads are
still giving incomplete service, but are
repairing washouts.
The reports of heavy loss of life in
Kansas City, Kan, are not true, and
the stories of bodies lying in the drift
there are unfounded. The loss of
property has not been overestimated.

Kansas avenue, the principal thor

HISTORY OF STARCH.
Introduced Into England in the
Time of Queen Elizabeth.

Introduced Into England in the
Time of Queen Elizabeth.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Starch originated in Flanders. 1t
was introduced into England, with the
big ruff, in the time of Queen Eliza
beth. 1t was like our starch of to-day,
except that it was made in colors-red,
yellow, green, blue. The effect OF this
was to tint delicately the white linen
to which the starch might be applied.
Before Queen Elizabeth's time ruffies
and rufus were made of fine holland,
which required no stiffening. Then
the rufus of cambria came, and. these
must of necessity be starched.
When the Queen had ruffs made of
lawn and cambria for her own prince
ly wearing, there was no one in Eng
land that could tell how to starch
them; but the Queen made special eff
forts to secure some women who could
starch, and Mrs. Gullham, wife of the
royal coachman, was the first starcher.
In 1864 a Flanders woman, Frau Van
der Plasse, came TO London and estab-
lished there a school for the teaching
Of starching. The school succeeded.
The Flanders frau got rich. She
charged $e5 lesson, and an extra IS
for a recipe for the making of starch
out of wheat flour. bran and roots.
Yellow was the most fashionable color
in starch among the nobility. The
fast racing set went in for green. The
Puritans used the blue starch. though
at first they had been against the stuff
altogether. clubbing 1t "A certain kinde
OF liquide matter which they call
starch, wherein the devil hath willed
them to wash and dive their ruffes,
which, when they be dry, will then
stand stiffe and infexible about their
necks." Starch Is made from wheat,
corn and potatoes and starving men
have often subsisted on IT, finding Il
nourishing, though not tasty.
