ON. RACE HATRED.
Rev. Thomas Dixon Points Out the.
Difference Between the Status
of the lew and Neuro..

Of the Jew and Negro,
New York June 11.-At the third an
nual dinner Of the American Book Sellers
association in this city Rev. Thomas Dix
on, jr, speaking on the negro question:
said:
Race prejudice is Of two kinds. One
is a mean thing. There is the prejudice
which proceeds from fear of another
races superior powers or abilities Such
is the prejudice against the Jew. 1t ex-
lists simply because the Jewish race is the.
most persistent powerful, commercially
successful race that the world has ever
produced. Thousands Of them have been
assimtlated by America and thousands
more will be assimilated.
t'The prejudice against the negro is the
instinct Of self preservation. I record
here the prediction that I, as southern
man, expect to live to see the day when
the whole people of the south will build
a statue to Abraham Lincoln in the cap
ital of the confederacy.'
Mr.. Dixon then called attention to Lin
colns S words:
IT believe that there exists between the
races, white and black, physical differ
ences which will forever forbid their liv-
ing together on a plane of social equal
ity."
I'm eighty years." Mr.. Dixon declared
there will be 6O,000,000 negroes in this
country at the present rate of increase,
and there are but three solutions Of the
problem that present themselves to US
to raise the negro to our level to sink to
his, or to remove him.
The negro is the menace, therefore, to
one element of the Americans strength
his race integrity. The menace to his
other element of strength, his individuali-
ty, Is socialism, which attacks first the
family, the stronghold of indtvidL Laltty,
and the buIwaTk on which our. civiliza-
5tion rests. and then the Hber Of the In

London, June 1.-THE controversy which
the recent publication Of the letters Of
Mrs. Carlyle, the wife of Thomas Car
lyle. aroused concerning their marital re-
lations, has induced the literary executors
Of the Historical Froude to publish a
pamphlet found among F'roude's papers
as a justification OF Froude's treatment Of
Carlyle.
In this pamphlet Froude, after stating
that Carlyle left an injunction that the
record Of the whole truth Of the matter
should never be destroyed, gives a conf

from which the following extracts are
taken:
Carlyle was one Of those persons who
ought never to have been married.
Mrs. Carlyle longed for children and
children were denied to her. This had
been at the bottom Of all their quarrels
and unhappiness.
Mrs. Carlyle never forgave the injury,

Made to Look Like Butter.
Boston, June 1.-THE Massachusetts,
state law against the sale of oleomar-
garine received a severe blow yester-
day in the superior criminal court,
where Judge Bishop decided the case
of the commonwealth against Carl
Himberg in favor Of the defendant.
This was one the famous oleomar-a
garine cases, selected for trial as test
case. The decision vindicates the
claims Of the oleomargarine dealers on
all points and will probably overthrow
the state law against the sale Of the
product.
Judge Bishop rules in effect that it
Is not unlawful to make and sell oleo-s
margarine which resembles butter in
color. There was no evidence Of the
Introduction of any substance for the,
purpose Of coloring the article which
.nould otherwise be oleomargarine.

farmers in order to keep a grip on it's

men in the State have opposed the
scheme vigorously. For a time the
company got quite grip on the farm

it sold the Iowa separator, and made
contracts for cream. Considerable
business was done in Princeton and

were interested by the promise and the
payment for a short time of stiff

DECISION AGAINST PATRICK,
Condemned Murderer Will Not Obtain
Millionaire Rice's Estate.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 28.-The court
OF appeals Tuesday placed final
negative upon the attempt Of Albert
T. Patrick to obtain the vast fortune
OF the deceased millionaire, William
M. Rice, for whose murder he was
under sentence Of death in Sing Sing
prison. The court handed down a de-
cision affirming that of the lower
courts which threw out as forgery
the alleged will of Mr.. Rice which
Patrick urged as superceding that ad-
mltted to probate by Surrogate Fitz-
gerald. The decision by the highest
court is made without comment or
opinion, an unusual thing in case
of so great Importance. The will of
Mr. Rice, thus sustained, makes no
mention Of Patrick, the bulk Of the
estate, estimated at 100000 or more,
being bequeathed to the proposed
William M. Rice Institute for the
Advancement of Literature, Science
and Art,' of Houston, Tex.
The will presented and urged in this
appeal by Patrick left comparatively
small requests to the Rice Institute
and the bulk of the estate to Patrick,
The next stage in the extraordinary
case will be the argument of Patrick's
appeal from the conviction Of murder
in the first degree and the consequent
sentence Of death.

WOodnen'S Wages.

Woodmen's wages are on the decline

tractors are offering $26 to $50 for
men, and a number of the firms doing
business in the Duluth district are do

$50, which has been paid all the fall,
is not yet general for the reason that
the supply of men will not yet warrant
it, but within the next few weeks a
number of railroad contract jobs will
be completed, and there will be plenty

ARMENIAN MURDERED.
President of Revolutionary Society
Assassinated in London.

President of a Revolutionary Society
Assassinated in London.
London, Oct. 29.-Sagatel Sagouni,
president Of the Armenian revolution
airy society, was murdered at the door,
step of his lodgings in Hunhead, an
unpretentious little suburb of London,
late Monday evening.
The murder presumably was COM
mltted by g. fellow Armenian recently
from the United States. The assassi-
nation had political motive and was
characterized by holiness to which
London has seldom been treated. 1t
created an unusual sensation here
since it appears to have been only an
incident in long and bitter vendetta
between two factions of Armenian
revolutionists. The attempted mur-
der of Kuregian, in Boston, the recent
killing in Switzerland and the assassi-
nation of the most prominent Arme.
MAN in London are so far. achieve
ments credited to the Armenian radi-
calls here. 1t is said that two mem
bers Of the opposition party have al
ready been killed in Russia, though
the London Armenian revolutionary
committee denies both knowledge of
and responsibility for the crime.
1t is generally expected that Sa-
counts death is only the prelude to
other chapters in the story of a bit
ter feud. The murderer, who has not
yet been unprecedented, left in the
hands of the police two clues-a soft
felt hat bearing the name of an Amer
lean clothing firm and an automatic
pistol of recent American make
