Charley" Donovan, of Sioux City.
and Clinton, Iowa.-and pretty nearly
everywhere else in the state-was in
town the other day, and had some IN
teresting things to say about trusts IN
general, and the tobacco trust In par
ticular. AS everyone knows Charley is
the man who made the Bill Dugan cl-
gar famous
When asked whether he attributed
the big sales of the cigar in his terri
tory to the publicity given it by the
manufacturers, or to the quality Of the
cigar itself, he replied that 1t was
merely an even thing.
In his opinion, no cigar. no matter
how widely advertised. could last as
a heavy seller unless the quality was
there to batk it up.
But I'll tell you one thing he re-
marked, what counts most in the adj
vertising, is our emphatic and often re :
peated statement that the Bill Dugan
is not in any way connected with the
trust It's surprising how man will
go out of his way to avoid buying a
trust made cigar"
There is food for thought in this. for
Charley has been in the cigar business
long enough to know what he is talk
Ing about.

WITHOUT A PASTOR.

People. and Declares the Pulpit Of
First Presbyterian Church Vacant.


"And now. by the authority of the
Presbytery of Waterloo. l declare the
pulpit of the First Presbyterian church
of Marshalltown vacant"
With these words. the Rev. f. w.
Russell closed his six years pastorate
in Marshalltown. Sunday morning. The
pastor had taken for his text part of
the first verse of the twelfth chapter Of
Romans, Acceptable Unto God" and
was listened to by a large audience.
While not in the ordinary sense of the
term farewell address. there was a
strong undercurrent of feeling running
the last Sabbath morning, in all prob
ability. he pressed upon his people the
necessity of living such lives here as
would be not only acceptable to them
selves and to others, but also unto God.
The sermon was replete with word pic
lures illustrative of mans universal de-
sire to please earthly ideals, followed by
the query of how much more important
should be the desire to prove accept
able unto God" saying with Paul, II
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies living sacrifice, holy. accepta-
BILE unto God, which is your reasonable
service"
The evening sermon might be termed
a continuation of the mornings theme,
Mr.. Russell taking for his subject, Eel
lowship With the Saints" At the close
of an eloquent exhortation, during
which there were many moist eyes, the
speaker said: LAS the years have come,
and the years have gone, 1t has been my
pleasure to go in and out among you,
fellow citizens of the saints; it has been
my privilege and joy to witness decs-
ions for Christ; it is my parting prayer
that not only shall you walk in closer
fellowship with Him, but that some of
Lords side shall learn to walk with
Him, and that when the years of life are
finished, may they be few or many, that
all may meet in that celestial city,
Mrs. Russell left for Davenport this
morning, where she will visit friends
for few days, and after concluding her
visit will go to Fairbury, Neb., for a
brief stay with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Cross. Rev. Russell left
this morning for Charlottesville. Ind.
where he will remain until the latter
part of the week, when he will return TO
this city and ship his household goods
to Boulder Colo. Mr.. Russell will join
his wife in Fairbury and they will leave
for Boulder the first of next week.

A sNAIL's QUEER HOME.
Well Developed MoIlusk Selects
Banana 70. a Homo.

An interesting study in nature was
afforded an East State street family
this morning when, upon opening a
sack of bananas, there was found, on
one, a well developed snail, glued by
natural process to the fruit. The in
habitant of the shell was alive and evil
IDENTIFY thriving. and seemed to take ex-
ceptions in humble way to the In
truders who investigated and entered
its home. How the rollusk could have
remained undisturbed for SO long a
time Is a problem, for it must have been
attached to the fruit. many months, and
probably during tha picking, shipping
and ripening stages. The curiosity was
turned over to the science department.
of the high school.

INSANITY Among Negroes.

I Dr.. II. A. White, superintendent Of the
Government Hospital for the Insane at
washington, has contributed to the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine an interest
Ing paper upon the geographical distrlp''-
ton Of insanity In the United States.
Tn speaking OF the colored Insane, Or.
White says:
"In Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Gcor-
sla, Kentucky. Louisiana, MISSISSIPPI,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennes-
Sec Texas and Virginia we find the ra-
ito of colored insane 1 10 1277. while for
the whites in the same territory 1t Is
TO 1856 For the remainder OF the United
states the ratio Of coored insane, as Is
shown by the tenth census, was 70 on.
while for the whites 1t was L to by. inc
ratio OF coorcd insane In the United
States, minus the Southern States, IS,
then, almost exactly the Same as ths
ratio for the white insane"
The cause for this difference IN tho
number OF insane among negroes North
and South is not far 10 seek, says tho
Chicago Tribune. The negro South either
leads an idle, happy-go-lucky kind OF
life or he works In the field or at house
service In either case he ts troubled with
competition. Flo knows nothing ABOUT
labor troubles. His work Is not nenaccd
BY walking delegates. He Is WORKING
for a people who take life easily and
i"do not mostly hurry" The negro
North is in a radically different environ-
ment. He is In the midst Of rush and
hustle, competition, worry, fret and head
long CHASE after the almighty dollar"
and IT is but natural that he should be
affected by 1t. Where life is the sim
pcst and worry is least common there
Is tho least insanity.
This theory seems TO be all right but
Dr.. Whites figures are wrong. SO far as
Virginia is concerned The number Of
negro pa tents received at the State Cen
trail Hospital last year was 1,20S. and the
daily average was 1,Ol6, 1t Is fair to pre-
sumo, therefore, that the number or
insane negroes In Virginia averages
something like 1900. Now the negro pop
,ulation of Virginia Is about $4,000, and
this makes the proportion OF lunatlcs
about1 in 400

Mock Maria es.

For nine years, says the New York
Tribune, the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Hungarian Literary Society has filled It's
Golfers by means Of a peasant ball, at
which mock marriages and divorces have
been the chief attraction, and UP to the
present timo no objection has ever been
made to the performance. The seeds Of
discussion were soon, however. when the
success of the peasant ball attracted
the attention of a society IN Paterson N.
j., and led to an imitation OF tho Hun
garian methods. a local clergyman pro-
tested against what he termed desc
Grafton or tho marriage rite. Tho affair
got into the newspapers, and some Of the
members OF the Ladies' Auxiliary to the
Hungarian Literary Society began TO
think that their matrimonial m!micry was
not just tho thing When 1t was proposed,
therefore. to carry out the usual arrange-
ments for tho peasant ball, which Is 10

of tho age Is the hasty and ill-consldcrod
marriage, followed 100 often by an
application tor divorce. Instead Of mock

tend TO belittle mutrlmony and bring

itself to impress men and women
