A Black Lion at Newport.

While there are no ethical objections to the fattering attentions which smart society in Newport is lGviShing upon Joseph Loftin, the South Carolina negro who is the guest of Mir. and Mrs. PeEl- broke Jones, it is nevertheless true that the bestowal of this sort of favOritism upon a colored man is an indiStinct contravention of American usage. MT. Loftin who is described very handsome negro, is conveyed wherever he desires to go in the swiftest auto mobiles. He is an honOred guest at lunchedls, theater parties, yachting parties and other events which have been arranged for his entertainment.
 There appears to be no bar sinister in the case of MT. Loftin but his color He is perfectly well fitted to shine in polite society. His conversation i1 spoken of as faultless and he is complete master of French. German and Spanish. In England or France or any other Euro pea country MT. Loftin would find the doors open to him, but such q reception as he has met with in Newport is q startling innovation in this country. For the present. this dusky Apollo seems to have quite eclipsed Harry Lehr. who is usually looked to to fur nish the smart set with sensations.
 It would be pleasant to think that Mir. Ioftin's experience at NewporS might be construed as a hamburger of a more friendly recognition of merit among the blacks by their white brethren. But, alas, Newport is much too cratic to justify any such deduC- tion. To lionize negro is something new, and something new is the chief end of life at Newport. Still, the cpl sode of Joseph Loftin shows a decided advance over the monkey and parrot dinners of Harry Lehr's set and the preposterous antics of Harry himself Kansas City Star.

Imports of Pure Food.

Professor Wiley, of the agricultural department. is satisfied, as a result o1 the experiments made by the depart ment during the past twelve months that additional pure food legislation by congress is greatly needed. These eX- periments have been of a wide nature and included pretty thorough analysis of food imports from Germany. France and Italy It was discovered that 9o per cent of these imports are auulter- ated, many of the substances used for that purpose being highly injurious to the health of the consumer.
 Germany which excludes many Ame rican exports on the false assertion that they are injurious to health, is the wol st offender. Eighty per cent of the German products imported were fourd adulterated in such way that if seek ing admission to Germany they woulG be excluded under heavy penalties. Frnnce. also, though to q lesser degree, sends quantities of adulterated wines and other stuff, much of which is det- rimental to health. This is not guess work, but matter of absolute proof.

Fir. Bryan's Singular nirth.

Whatever has been said about our brother in black" it cannot be charged against any negro leader of intelligence that he is gloating over the renascencc of the race problem, fer the advantage it might give him in q political bar gain, or the following it might secure him among the most prejudiced of his race. That is what MT. Bryan is do- ing. He is 'grinning through a horse collar at the president because he thinks he has stirred up race preju- dice" by the Durbin letter. the Indian ola incident, and the Booker T. Wash ilston dinner. The sort of talk he is giving forth at Lincoln is not only un- worthy the man. but unworthy the race he belongs to. Whatever else the race problem is, it is not a thing to rejoice over or to tangle up with petty calcu- lations of partisan or personal advGn- tage. That ought to be the Congo rather than the Caucasian viewpoint New York Mail and Express (Rep).

CURRENT COMMENT
The Passing of the Pads.

Nearly all sports have their day The railroads and newspapers, the former by making travel easy and cheap, and the latter by showing everybody every day what nearly everybody else is do ing, have made the introduction of fads easy and rapid.
 There are some sports that seem to have fundamental value, and they last, though they wax and wane in popular ity. Such is swimming, and, to some extent, skating Bicycling as a sport is practically defunct. The wheel now persists because of it's value as Q ve- hicle. Golf is on the decline among those who took it up chiefly because i; was the rage, and in a few years may be played only for it's merits as a1 open-air exercise. The latest genera tion of children would be puzzled by the sight of roller skates, but a few years ago they were found everywhere, in building huge rinks where their de voices could roll about on their little wheels for hours at time.
 Our American game of baseball is, in one sense, an exception to most sports in that it is rather a spectacle for the masses than recreation in which all can engage. It is like a dramatic en- tertainment. with few actors and many observers. It is true there are amateur performances, but the participants all together including both professionals and amateurs, are comparatively few. Ladies are barred altogether, and q large majority of men prefer to witness the game and criticise the players to taking a hand in it. Tennis is a fad with some, but the essential condition of ample grounds shuts 1t off from the enjoyment of the multitude. The old game of craquet, but for the same req son, would be more populartha ii is.
 Some new fad in the form of amuse- ment seems to be about due. It has net yet appeared above the horizon, and those who give their thoughts and tine largely to pleasure are getting along somewhat wearily with the old ones. When it does come it will be heralded to the whole world, as ping-pong was. in a fortnight, and. perhaps, as in that case vast industries to supply materi- als or implements fer it will spring suddenly into being to collapse as sud denly with the passing of the fad Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

l he Expert Translation.

Here is q good story on q New Yorl. publisher of push and acumen: Oe course he has at his call some twenty translators, to whom he pays excellent wages when their services are required. Some are lawyers, some doctors, some teachers of foreign languages. some in terpreters for courts. some employees of the hotels that cater to foreign arri. vals. Not long ago he set three of four experts at work on grand discov- cry" d novel in French entitled 'I.e NeVeu de Ma Tante," which means in English The Nephew of My Aunt" The fly leaf and title page were miss ing. The translators took fifty pages each and toiled night and day for a. week, when one said to the rest: There is something strangely familiar about my take. It seems 1 have read the book before The others expressed similar seems but all labored on
 When the translation was about com pleted startling discovery was made. The book proved to be a French trans lation of Dickens David Copperfield, ' y M. Anedee Pichot, the well known editor of the Revue Britannique, and the translator of Lord Byron. Muci chagrined, the publisher paid his men off at the rate-of s6 a day and begged them to keep the matter to themselves They tried hard. but it was to good to keep: so here it is. As an experiment ] think he should publish the English translation of the French translation just to show the world what a trans lation is worth.-New York Press.

FREAK BUGS ARE MISSING.
No Sensational Newcomers, but the
 Old Line Keep Things Busy.

The bug industry, like the sea ser pent, has proved a great failure this year, and newspaper men have been disappointed over the failure Cf the government SdVantS tc discover some new and sensational insect pest. Ther.s W;.s, it is true, an insect found which proved to be an enemy of the cigarette beetle, and for a time the hopes of tcbacConists ran high over the pros poets Cf introducing the new-found bug into their stores and factories to eX- terminate the pestiferous cigarette beetle But the cigarette beetle bug proved q dismal failure. It pounc- ed upon and devoured the former, it is true, but it's appetite was soon setis- fled, and il only killed when hungry. Moreover. it is not at all numerous, and q slow breeder, whereas the cigarette beetle increases al q rate little short Ct astounding. In the absence of 2 bug sensation mcny of the bugologists arc filled with prophecy oyer what will hap pen next year.

death that pr. Doyle consented to dis close his identity. He proved to be D.. Joseph Bell, a noted practioner in Edinburgh. and a member Of the fac ulty of the college of medicine from which pr. Doyle graduated He was not only student of Dr. Bells school, but also a member of his household, and a part of his duties there was to receive patients and conduct them into the doctors presence. This gave him opportunity for the most intimate ao quaintance with pr. Bell, and he soon observed that the doctor possessed a remarka ble power of intuitiveness. A patient would be conducted into his presence. and at glance he would say. An. I see you have the drink habit. Why, you even carry bottle with you. Your ccat it all bulged out of shape from it's weight To another he would say quickly, You are a photographer I observe from the stains of nitrate ot silver on your hands
 Long observation by young Doyle in his student days in his association with Dr. Bell made lasting impression on his mind of the power of discernment possessed by his tutor, of his capacity to learn much from little things to which others would give TO notice. and it was the development of this impress sion which gave to the world Of fiction its greatest detective character.
 But as long as Dr. Bell lived, the source of pr. Doyle's inspiration re- mained secret and it has been only since his recent death that his identity was disclosed. Kansas City Journal

There are few chances for Caleb Powers. the former secretary of state which he vas condemned Saturday. One Of them is through the magnan- unity of the chief executive of the state. Though Powers may be guilty of complicity in the murder of Cover nor Goebel there will remain a belief that he is a political victim. It is Eow several years since that murder was committed but the Kentucky blood which had been heated by it had not been cooled Saturday when the jury brought in it's verdict of guilty.

NOT TO BE IGNORED.
The Reversal of the Usual Bride and
 Groom Affair.

The carriage was an open one on all American line. and every passenger i'm mediatcly put them down as q bridal couple By common consent no enc paid any attention to them after the first glance They were hardly seated before they clasped hands, but when they shyIy looked around no one was gazing at them. By-and-by he put his arm around her. but the action passed unnotfced. At the end of an hour the bride began to weep, and it could plainly be perceived that the bride groom was indignant. He choked back his feelings for time, but presently he rose up looked round the carriage, and said:
 Ladies @ad gentlemen, we are q bridal touQ,c.''
 The passengers looked up indifferent ly and then looked away
 We were married at 3 o'clock this morning." continued the bridegroom. No one took any interest.

PERIL IN MANS INSTINCT.
Chauffeur Tells How Auto Brake
 Cause Accidents.

Heres another autc.nobilers death recorded" said the chauffeur. and the accident was due to the usual error the errC- of taking off the brake in stead of putting it on.
 In several makes of automobiles tlia brake is worked by means of q lever that has d backward and forward movement. To put on the brake yori pull the lever toward you: to take it eff you push it away from you. Those movements are. somehow or other, con fusing to tho average man. They seem wrCng to him-as wrong as it would seem to pull on 2 horses right rein to m9ke him turn to the left
 Riding along swiftly in an automC- bile you have an instinctive feeling. as you hold the brake lever in your hanC, that you should push this lever for ward in order to put the brake on, and that you should bring it back toward yCu in Crder to take the brake off. This feeling. as I say. is instinctive, and IL is apt to come over the most skillful driver in moments Of excitement and peril, He yields to it; when he wants to put the brake cn he moves the lever the wrong Way the moment he is crush cd against q stone wall, or ne falls over a seventy-fCot cliff.
 "Therefore, those autos with brake levers that have g backward movement fer 'onbrakes' and q forward movement fc~ 'offbrakes should have their levers working reversed, out of consideration for mems instinct in this matter. AccI- dents. thereafter. would be more rare Philadelphia Record.

THE REAL SHERLOCK HOLMES.
Interesting Light Cn the Greatest De-
 tective Character of Fiction.

The character of Sherlock Holmes. tke great detective, is probably familiar to more people than any other creation of modern fiction. Sc realistic. indeed. has been the portrayal of this character by Dr. \. Conan Doyle that thousands of leaders believe the remarkably clever detective was a person of real flesh and blood. It is said that nearly every lead ing character in fiction has had q coun- terrart in real life, at least a resemb lance strong enough to suggest the character to the author and for q long time there has been strong curiosity to discover the original" Sherlock Holmes. but search by the most inQuis itive failed to discover him. All en- treaties to Dr. Doyle to reveal the man whose peculiar gifts had suggested the greatest detective known to fiction had failed tc get response from him until recently. The story of his discovery is interestingly tCld by Lee Kugcl busi- ness manager for Herbert Kelcey and Fife Shannon's production of Sherlock holmes" which opens at the Grand next Sunday. MT. Kugcl is stopping a' the Midland hotel. and when seen yes- terday talked freely of his company and the noted character which it DOT trays.
 Ut was not until recently that any | light was obtained on the original Sher ] lock Holmes, and it was not until his

REQUIRING PUNCTUATION.
What a. Comms Omitted or Shifted Will
 Sometimes Do.

Some amusing instances Of printers punctuation may be sometimes culled from newspapers. Here are q few:
 The driver having finished milking his COW offered to take me into an aG joining room, where the milk was cocl- ed
 Then there is the case of d clergyman who announced that he would wear TO clothes. to distinguish him from his fellow Christians.
 The following instance. of q patent feeding bottle. requires something more than rightfui punctuation to straighten things out:
 When the baby is done drinking it must be unscrewed, and laid in 2 cool place under 9 tap. If the baby does not thrive on fresh milk it should be bciled. ."-Cassells Journal.

FAUST" ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
Company on Heating Theatcr Giving
 the Play This Season.

It would surprise most persons to learn that Faust is probably acted more frequently in the United States than in any other country iii the world. Residents of the large cities do not hear much of these performances as Faust" is rarely given in them. Nev York sometimes has an English Faust in one of the outlying theaters but these companies neve- get near Broadway.
 Nevertheless four companies present ing only Faust have traveled through the country this season enjoying a com- iortable degree of prosperity. They car ry around sufficient electric apparatus to make some of the scenes spectacu- lar. Faust" $ always sure of it's pup lie in small tow IS even when presented in crude fashion.
 More curious than any of these pro- ductions of Goethe's classic, however, pany of actors playing on a boat that goes up and down the Mississippi rivet. The manager of this floating theatcr spends six months on the river. They tie up at all the little towns and give performances.
 Faust is the play the actors in this curious playhouse have been giving for the past season and it was more sue cessful in it's appeal to the public than any other play the river actors had performed-New York Sun.
