NIGHT BLINDNESS.
A Condition In Which the Vision

nary conditions of artificial illumina-
ton. The sufferer from night blind
ness can usually see the light of a can

light is thrown directly upon the page
Usually, however. he sees we'll in a
room lighted brilliantly with electric

The cause of night blindness is be-
lieved to be an eXhauSting of the power
of vision by too great light. for it oc-
ours mainly among soldiers and sailors
in the tropics. who are exposed for
many hours to the glare OF the sun. and
among arctic explorers, whose eyes are
dazzled by reflection from the snow
On shipboard it is often associated
with scurvy. and persons who are de
pressed physically or mentally or in
any other way run down" are more
likely to suffer than the strong.
Sailors have a superstition that the
trouble is due to imprulence III sleep
ing on deck in the moonlight. aud this
belief is embodied tn the term moon

tropical moon is probably as guiltles5
in this respect as it is in the produc

The only treatment for night blind,
ness is keeping away from bright light

bandage until the exhausted rctina

Yawning is commonly caused by a
temporary deficiency of the air sup
ply in the lungs. When the body is
weary with hard and continuous work
or mental study, lassitude from the eff
fects of close, heavy air or intense heat,
or perhaps from the peculiar state Of
the health, the respiratory process is
sometimes invOluntarily stayed for a
few moments. To compensate for thi
stoppage of breathing nature steps in
to the rescue and sets up spasmodic
action in the muscles of the mouth,
throat and chest. which produces Il
deep inspiration which takes the form
Of a yawn.

been suggested, the open eyes may

within the church, so as to guide the
hapless being seeking sanctuary by
night to the welcome haven of safety.

Philadelphia, Sept. is.-Lynching and the crimes usually resulting In mob law were denounced today In resolution adopted by the National Negro Baptis, Convention. The resolution presented by Rev. c. I. Dart of South Carolina was as follows:
 Whereas, the most of the blood curd. ling outrages committed against the pure womanhood of our country and which lead to mob uprising and lynching are charged to members of our race; Resolved, we make no special plea CT excuse for such esiHsinais uf fseur7 race. vse frown upon any one who issaiity of crinl, lnAl nasaaist apos ssyemes sss1z sx5A, the reftl resentatives of two million people of the black race, desirs to place ourselves on record as saying that any man who as. sauits helpless womarhopd is not worthy of the benefits of life. but he should be given fair trial
 Resolved, That President Roosevelt is to be commended by our people for his fearless stand in favor of even handed justice and fair trial for all criminals and his declaration at a time when passions ran high and public sentiment was unrea- soning.'
 The education of the negro was dis cussed by the delegates.
 Sentiment is growing, 1t was said in favor Of a national unlyersity under con- tro1 of the convention. the chief object of which would be to train preachers. The educational board headquarters will be removed from Washington to Nashville during the coming year.

THE BOIL WEEVIL EVIL
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS PES
 SIMISTIC REPORT.
Says in e6 Texas Counties the Cotton Crop Will Be Almost a Total Failure-No Cure for the
 Scoufge.

Knoxville. Tenn. Sept. 19.-Charles p McLane. q chemist in the employ of the Agricultural Department of the United States government. arrived here to-day from Texas and Arkansas where he had been sent by the government to investi. gate the damage in the cotton belt by boil weevil
 He has spent two months studying the insects and admits tlsGt the future of the cotton growing situation west of the Mississippi is exceedingly gloomy.
 MT. McLane says that the cotton crop in ninety-six Texas counties will be al- most a total failure. and that the west ern part of Arkansas, especially Hemp stead county. presents a desolate appear ance. He predicts that cotton growing in the southwest will decline in the fu- ture. All efforts to destroy the weevil have proved futile and the people are dis couraged.
 Arkansas has not been as hard hit this year as Texas, but he predicts that the devastating weevil will spread rapidly over the entire cotton lands of the south west within two years. Few if any evil dences of the appearance of the weevil have been seen east of the Mississippi.

BEAUPRE MAY COME HOME.
United States Minister May Ask fo,
 His Ssssports.

New York, Sept. 19.-Members of the Colombian Congress who have arrived here from Bogota, fiatly deny. says a Panama dispatch to The Herald, that United States Minister Beaupre's note
 caused the rejection of the Hay-Herran treaty The Ministers note, they say, did not influence the Senators, all of whom were opposed to the treaty, except Sen ator Obaldia.
 Rejection, therefore. was a foregone conclusion. There had. however. been an intention to permit the treaty measure to pass the first reading for the sake of conventional courtesy.
 Minister Beaupre. 1t is reported, will probably ask for his passports as he has been officially notified of the rejection of the treaty and finds that there are no hopes of its renewal.
 The latest advices from Bogota say that the central government has no intention of sending further military reinforce ments to the isthmus. as under the pres ent circumstances such action wodld be injudicious and would precipitate mat ters.
 It is considered in Bogota that the isth- mus is sufficiently guarded by the pres ent garrison of 800 men. There are also three gunboats on the Pacific side ready for any emergency. Besides. 1t Is held that the presence of large number of troops on the isthmus would raise the mortality rate and would cause much cash outlay, which would be burdensome in view of the strained financial situation.

MIR. WRIGHT'S APPETITE
A REASON WHY HE HAS NC
 JOB.
Causc of Contention Between Post msster Barker of Mobile and the United States Civ;l Ser
 vice Commission.

Washington. Sept. 19.-(Special )-That the Civil Service Commission certified to him for appointment "a human ostrich, ' and then declared that 1t had made a mistake in the man, is the allegation of P. D. Barker, postmaster at Mobile, Ala. There Is a somewhat spirited contention in progress between the commission and MT. Barker.
 Lee w. Wright headed the eligible list for a position there. Postmaster Barker reported to the Civil Service Commission that he could not recommend Wright be- cause he was human osSich and read fly and easily devoured glass, tacks, brass watch chains. broken china, old scraps of iron and In fact nearly everything that is not served in a first class restaurant. With his complaint Postmaster Barker inclosed letters from prominent men and officials of Alabama declaring that Wright was unfit for the place because of his eccentricites of appetite.
 The Civil Service Commission gave out a statement that Postmaster Barker had accused the wrong MT. Wright. and that the latter has no such appetite as alleged and that he wants nothing except a good place under the civil service.
 Postmaster Barker's friends declare that he was not mistaken, and that his allegations can be proven. They certify that Mir Wright. against whom Mir Bark CT protested. is A glass and tack eater, and that if there is another Lee W. Wright somewhere else with the same prociivities. they don't know it, More over, Postmaster Barker offers to show that the Lee Wright against whom he protested. confessed to him that he did eat various and sundry heavy articles that other people cannot eat He says he

CAN SEIZE NO TERRITORY
Powers of Europe Would Not
 Permit Such Action.
In Eastern Macedonia . General Up rising Has Been Ordered and the, Town of Menlix is
 Being Besieged.

London, Sept. 1s.-The Associated Press learns that the war between Turkey and Bulgaria is not now regarded as immi- nent by the foreign ofiice or other diplo- matic centers in London.
 It is stated that under no circumstances will the powers permit Turkey to occupy Bulgarian territory. hence Turkey has nothing to gain by hostilities. Regard ing the renewed rumors that British fleet is going to Turkish waters. the As- sociated Press Is officially informed that as Balkan matters have been left in the hands of Russia and Austria, such action is not contemplated by Great Bri- tain or so far as known by any one power.
 In the meantime the powers are daily exchanging communications with the view of determining on some possible means of restoring order in European Turkey but so far they have devised no plan that would not be likely to increase rather than to diminish the gravity of the situation.
