Pope Plus is giving constant remind
ers of the fact that he intends to be
master in his own house, even though
by doing so he upsets precedent. The
other day he announced that he intend
ed to have his sisters to lunch with him
in the Vatican. An attending dignitary
pointed out in guarded language that
such q thing had not occurred in the
annals Of. the papacy since the change
in regime of the italian government.
His holiness replied that in the past he
had always entertained whom he pleas
ed in his own apartments, and he saw
no reason to change his habits. Ac-
cordingly his sisters lunched with him
at the time set.

A plant for making silk from wood,
erected near Sydowsaue, Germany, is at
present turning out fifty pounds of
skein silk a day, which product can be
Increased in quantity to two thousand
pounds. The silk is soft in texture, and
creamy in color. Each thread is made
up Of eighteen single strands. A single
strand is hardly perceptible to the max
ed eye. In strength it is but one-third
that Of the real silk. When woven into
pieces. the new substitute is said to
have the appearance of real silk. The
pulp undergoes a chemical process, and
is pressed through very fine tubes by
hydraulic pressure. forming the single
strands which go to make up the thread.

The editor of the Ransom (Kansas)
Journal is tired. This is the way he
shows his WEAKNESS: ''This paper is a
poor one. 1t is absolutely worthless,
unreliable, cold and heartless. Being
only a low down, worthless wretch, we
can't but envy the towns of Ness City,
Utica and Wa Keeney the papers that
give their towns life and glittering i'm
mortality among the poor worms of the
gust, living on dirt, in the absence Of
something worth while to do. And the
usefulness of the citizens of these thriv-
ing towns gives a man the blues up
here. Yes, fellow townsmen. The Ran

BOOKER PASSES By.
Noted Negro Educator and Friends Fad Meal
at Norlina

Booker T. Washington, he of Tuskegee
fame and Roosevelt reminder, passed
through Raleigh last night.
There was a large party of prominent
colored men with Washington, and The
party We're in two Pullmans on the Sea-
board Air Line, which passes here at 1880
%. m. The entire party was on It's way
from Boston and New Yok to Nashville,
Tenn, to the meeting of the National
Negro Business League meeting.
A gentleman who was on the train, SAID
that at Norlina the entire party took a
meal. A separate room from that ordin-
arily used was put at the disposal of the
Washington party. The room was ready
for the party when it came and it was
expected.
Il met Booker Washington during the
trip" said the gentleman, ''and he was
extremely polite. He treated me with
every courtesy and talked of the early
start of Tuskegee in little shanty with
thirty pupils, and its growth till now 1t
had sixty or more buildings worth many
thousands of dollars and an endowment of
$780, 900. 1t was a story full of the deep
est interest and it impressed me. In talking
with me no negro could have been more
courteous than Washington, who in ap-
pearance is about quadroon.'

RAILROADS IN LUZON.
Root Would Build Two Lines He Thinks Will
Prevent Instructions.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 17.-Secretary Root
has been in correspondence with Governor
Taft regarding the construction of a sys-
TEN of railroads in the Philippine Islands
amounting to some 600 miles. 1t is pro-
posed to build line from Manila north
through LuzOn to the harbor at the north
ernmost end of the island. Another pro-
posed line is from Manila south to Batan-
gas.
The propositions which have been con-
sidered by the Secretary of War and the
governor of the Philippines contemplate
aid by the Philippine government in the
construction of the proposed roads. 1t is
believed that a guarantee of the interest
on the amount of the cost of the roads. in
case the roads prove unable to pay such
interest out of the earnings, will be suf-
ficent to induce capital to invest in the
different enterprises.
The Secretary of War believes that the
construction of these roads would be of
immense benefits and would settle for all
time the question of possible instructions
in the island of Luzon.
