his ability to play off the interests and
ambitions of one power against those
of another, and to play on the fears of
those powers that have every reason
TO try and avert war. 1t will only be
when the powers come to act that the
true inwardness OF the present situation
can be understood.
When Mr.. Gladstone, after his re-
turn to power in 1880, succeeded in pro-
curing the reassembling of the East
Roumelia commission to act upon the
recommendations of the Berlin con-
gress with regard to Macedonia, every
proposal put forward by the British
commissioner was opposed by Austria
supported by Germany and Italy, so
that unanimity on the present occasion
is doubtful
The military preparations now go
ing forward in Russia and Austria
and in Bulgaria and Servia. together
with the naval preparations of France.
Italy and Great Britain are ominous
for the sultan, nevertheless. The next

ernments cannot fail to be of deep in

Negro Mechanics.
tiOn.

Some interesting information con-
corning the progress of negroes in the
mechanical arts is furnished in a bulle-
tin recently issued by the Atlanta uni
versity. 1t appears that only per cent
of the colored population is in the
handicrafts, but this is naturally the
next step upward from agricultural
| la Dor and domestic service. The mono
graph reviews the very many efforts to
promote industrial education among
the negroes, and concludes that these
have generally been very expensive and
| that the numerical results are not i'm
pressive; but suggestions are made for
| making technical education less expens-
i've and probably more efficient.
| No part of the book is more interest
| ing than that which summarizes the
| testimony of both whites and blacks
employers and employed, as to the eff
cheney of black mechanics. They are
| freely admitted into some labor unions
Disseminated against by others, and

widely employed in the south, often
working by the side of white mechan-
les, and usually getting the samt
wages. though sometimes there is 8
discrimination against them in theii
pay.
A young negro contractor of Atlanta
a partner of his father, refers to {:

bred contracts ranging from 500 t
$500 and aggregating about s35, OOO tn,

work. He says the demand for negr.
mechanics at the going rate of wage
is good, SO that he sometimes finds i
difficult to get men. Some white con

A Study of Eminent rleE.

Prof Catteu of Columbia university
has recently made a statistical study of
the eminent men of all time and from
his paper in the Popular Science
Monthly a few results are here set
down. His selection was made from
six large biographical dictionaries
printed in four countries. The longest
notices in these works referred to some
5000 men. Some 1000 of these names
appeared in at least three of the die
tionaries and the 1000 eminent men
considered were those to whose bio
graphies the greatest space was de-
voted. The list of these men (and Wo-
mem is printed in full in the paper
referred to. According to it the fifty
most eminent men are Gin this order):
l. Napoleon; :, Shakespeare; 3, NC
manned; 4, Noitaire; 5, Francis Ba-
con: 6, Aristotle; I, Goethe; s, Caesar;
9, Luther: 10, Plato; II, Napoleon III:
y, Burke; 13, Homer: IA, Newton; Is,
Cicero 16, Milton; II, Alexander the
Augustus; q, Wellington; %, Raphael;
%, Descartes; "a, Columbus; 25, Con-
| fucius; 26, Penn; 81, Scott; IS, Michael
| Angelo; 90, Socrates: 80 Byron; 81,
Cromwell; 81, Guatama Buddha; So
Kant; "a, Leibnitz; So, Locke; SO, De-
mosthenes; 81, Queen Mary Stuart; IS,
Calvin; 80, Moliere; 40, Lincoln; Il,
Louis Philippe; -, Dante; 43, Rous-
seau; A, Nero; 45, Franklin; IS, Cali
leo; Al, Johnson: As, Robespierre; As,
Frederick the Great; 30, Marcus Azure
Illus. 99i, Ohio; 992, Sertorius; 1893, Mac
pherson; 994. Claudian; 995, Domitian;
500, Bugeaud; 997 Charles 1 of Naples;
99S, Fauriel; 999, Eupantin and 1000
Babeuf.
At glance the list shows that the
makers of biographical dictionaries
give more space, relatively, to modern
men than to the ancients. more to occi-
dentals than to orientals, and, natur-
ally, more to men of picturesque and
accidented lives than to those whose
| existence passed peacefully. Napoleon
III, according to this list, is distinctly
more eminent than Alexander the Great
or Socrates; William Penn is more emf
nent than Buddha; Louis Philippe thar
Dante, Walter Scott than Michael An
gelo, One has only to point out in
stances of the sort to show that this
method of selection is very faulty
| Taking it as it is, it appears that
among the thousand eminences Their
are thirty-two women. Some of then
Arizona republican., 1903-03-07

are: Mary, Queen of Scots; Eiilzabeth
of England, Joan of Arc, Mime. de Stael,
Georges Sand, Catherine II. Mime. de
Sevigne. Nine de Maintenon4 Jose
phine. Marie Artoinette, Queen Chris
tina. Nine. de Genlis (who is of the
same rank as Euclid), Margaret of An
jou, Mrs. Gaskell Nine. Roland, Anne
Boleyn, Nine. de Pompadour, Sappho
Isabella of CASTLE, George Eliot, and
then Cleopatra. etc. This list again
proves the method of selection to be
faulty, and reminds US that there is Il
mountain on the moon namGd Mrs.
Jackson-Gwi1 among volcanoes called
Copernicus. Calico, Kiepler, Tyeho and
the rest. A statistical study of great
men follows the selection OF these
names. and the real interest of the
paper is in this study, to which readers
are referred.

and some both white and black; few
contractors employ none but white
men.
A bricklayer in Georgia mentions two
mills that he helped to build, and says
that on a mill in Spartanburg, S. c..
he was foreman over both white and
black masons. A report from Lynch
burg says that few years ago negroes
were entirely excluded from bricklaying
on the principal streets of the city. No
colored mechanic was employed TO lay
pressed brick Latterly colored brick
layers have been employed on the best
Presbyterian church, costing $35,OC0'
and built of pressed brick, was con-
structed almost entirely by negroes. n
large addition to a cotton mill was
built by negroes, and the installation
of the machinery was supervised by Il
negro mechanic with entire satisfac-
ton to all concerned" A negro me-
chanic is quoted as saying that the sit
uation is growing brighter every day.
1T is simply question of capacity and
reliability 1 am about to be offered
the largest job 1 ever had to build one
of the largest structures in the state"
OF course, there are other reports less
satisfactory, but on the whole this
monograph is highly encouraging as to
the future of the negro artisan.

The Note to Turkey.

The acceptance in principle by the
sultan of the identical note presented
by the Austro- Hungarian and Russian
ambassadors on Monday was to be eX-
pected. It's practical application is an
other thing, and we must prepare for d
period, shorter or longer, according 10
the determination of the powers con-
cerned, of Turkish evasion.
Notwithstanding the apparently mod
crate tone of the demands, the note
amounts to notice to the Turk to quit
the western part of his European do
main. The maintenance of order ana
the collection of taxes are taken from
him under authority in the three vii
layets of Salonica, MCnaStie and Kas-
sovo. into which the territory that
stretches from the Aegean to the from
tier of Bosnia Herzegovina is divided.
and the southern part of which is
known as Macedonia; while he is held
responsible for the good conduct of the
Albanians, who will thus be cut off
from him in fact except by sea through
the Adriatic.
Whatever the subsequent develop
ments may now be. this note points 20
the beginning of the end of Turkish
domino ton in the territory affected by
it: and it hardly needed the statement
of the Italian minister of marine in
parliament on Monday that the time
coming would be a decisive period for
eastern Europe.

Constantinople an ambsssad dor. as there

DecaYed German Mobility.

According to the annual edition of
Perthes' Almanac of the German rCbil-
ity, thousands Of walters, coachmen.
barmen, miners and other workmen in
the United States are recruited from
the ranks Of the German nobility.
Herr Won Nordegg, an eminent au-
! thority on the aristocratic world of the
Fatherland, says. in commenting on the
book, that a glance over it's contents
reveals the ominous fact that practi-
call5- every blue blooded family of the
empire is now represented in the Unit
ed States, where their scions for the
most part are engaged in the humblest
employment.
To this it may be added that not only
in America and other foreign coun-
tries are scions Of noble German fam
lilies found in the lowest strata of So
ciety, but even in the Fatherland the
names of the very oldest mobiles which
appear in the highest ranks of the

countered among coachmen, copyists
and common laborers.
In all Berlin one lawyer only is of
noble BIRTH while the city directory
gives lists of hundreds of agents, con-
stables and skilled and unskilled la
borers with fine old noble names. Mar
riage with commoners in these aristo-
cratic circles is always regarded as
and generally really is, marriage for
| money. The German nobility, unlike
!, the English. cannot separate from such
marriages the odium of rnesalliance.

The Legal Status of Women.

A valuable compilation showing the
states and territories has been made
by Katharine Crawford. and is pub
lished in the New Idea Womans Mag
aZine, and Notwithstanding the afro
magazine. the facts presented will not
escape the attention of thinking people.
The position of women in the matter
of suffrage is summed up by Miss Cor
Mrs. Crawford as follows:
In Colorado. Wyoming, Idaho, and
Utah, equal suffrage; in Kansas. mu-
nicipal suffrage. while in twenty tv o
other states and two territories, Ari-
iona and Oklahoma, women can vote
on school matters. 1t is a general rule
throughout the states that a married
dispose of, lease sell devise or bequea tn
her separate property both real and
personal, without joining with or re-
ceiving the consent of her husband. In
o.,
Kansas, Utah, and Wyoming the priv
ilege has been given the taxpaying wo-
man to vote on the proposition to raise
money for city or village Improvement
in third class. In several of the states
a woman may be elected to office
though she can neither vote nor have
the votes of other women. Women can
not be employed in mines in Utah, Ala
bama. Colorado. Illinois, Indiana, Penn
sylvania and Wyoming.
In twenty-eight states the common
law estate of dover is recognized in
modified form; in most of the western
states this estate has>either been abol-
ished, if it existed or there have been
substitute estates; while many of the
states have their own special enactment
on this point and can not be grouped.
The right of mothers equally with fatfi
ers in the guardianship of minor chill
oren is recent development in Ameri-
can legislation and obtains at the pres
ent time in only seven of the states
Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska

. Political Economists Die Poor.

While great fortunes and great Indus
tries have almost invariably been ere
ated by uneducated men, pa1venus
unembarrassed with learning. who
taught themselves what they found
necessary to know, we find On the other
hand that those men who have made
commercial science, political economy,
their study. have not shown any sue
cess in business and have remained
theorists. Most political economists
have had to live on their pen. Mr..
Golden went bankrupt in business. 1t
is true that Ricardo was we'll of, but he
was d stock broker by trade, and with
him political economy was only hobby
not a serious pursuit. 1t is strange how
few business men of the first rank have
good word to say of political economy.

The sarce is the national costume of
almost all Hindoo women and occa-
sionally of Mohammedan women in
India. 1t is an entire cloth, in many
cases eighteen yards long and about a
yard broad. In texture the cloth va
rles to suit the poorest as well as the
richest inhabitants of the country. In
the matter of tying and wearing the
garment there is little difference any
where. The cloth, which has one plain
end. is passed around the loins and the
upper border tied in a strong knot.
The cloth is then passed two, three or
even four times around the waist to
form a petticoat, which, if the saree be
a proper width, reaches to the ground.
\ portion is then plated neatly into
folds and tucked in before so as to
hang down i'll front to the instep. or
even lower. The remainder of the cloth
Is passed across the bosom over the
left shoulder and head, on which it
rests, the ornamental ends falling part
ly over the right arm below the waist.
In the south of India, however, the
end does not pass over the head. 1t Is
drawn tightly over the left shoulder
and bosom and tucked into the waist
behind or on the right hip.

Holly Beach Items

a petition has been presented to the
Holly Beach Council, signed by prop
erty owners on Holly Beach venue
asking for the graveling of that street.
Years ago the right of way through this
street was given to the Pennsylvania
II. r.. Co. by the council without eX-
acting any conditions whatsoever bene-
fetal to the borough. Since that time
the street has been of little use to any
one. 1t is high time it was made pass
able for traffic. Pacific venue is also
still anything butt comfortable driving

Why does not some enterprising
gardner start IA truck patch on the
Island? The demand for fresh yeget-
ables and fruits is unlimited. Every
housekeeper is complaining that she
can not get enough in quantity or var
iety. We pay good prices for "truck y
here, and surely there is more profit in
raising and selling direct to the Gus
toner without paying for hauling, eX-
pressage, and the middleman's profit.
Elk apartments have proved that we can
raise vegetables and fruits of superior
quality, and this year they have ma
tured earlier than OH the mainland.
The frost that killed the crop Of peaches

ated. The soil is rich and productive.
