edly as many intoxicated men two weeks
ago on Boston's streets as there were last
week, The difference In the court record
was due to strieter enforcement. In this
state, some people look at the court records
now and jump at the conclusion that the
license law is responsible for the increase.
OF such people, particularly in this city,
the Times asks that they sit down and
candidly discuss with themselves whether
they saw any more intoxicated people on
the streets Of the city last Saturday night
than they did two months OF a year ago
and let them in as candid d manner weigh
the causes Of the Increase In the court rec
ord, bearing in mind that new law car

that the police have been especially en-
joined TO clean up the DRINKS.

In Poland the patriots are now en-
deavoring to popularize the following
curious version of the Lords Prayer:
sour Father, who art in heaven, re-
store to us the kingdom of Poland.
Deliver us from slavery. Give US this
day our daily bread. but not STEPPED
in blood and poisoned through the
wickedness Of our enemies. Pardon
US for the sins which are engraved on
our swords. Suffer us not TO fail into
the temptation OF becoming traitors
to Poland and deliver us from the
domination Of a foreign power, since
that is our worst evil"
Thousands OF Poles have learned
this prayer by heart and invariably
use it instead Of the old and familiar
version

The Society Of American Authors
will urge upon the next session Of con

manuscripts to pass through the mails

says the New York Mail ana Express.
This rate already prevails in European
countries, and also between countries

It is now King Peter Karageorgeyitch
OF seryia II you cannot pronounce the
name call him King Peter. He was elect
ed to the place yesterday by the Servian
house and senate 1t is interesting to
note that King Peter did not turn down
the crown that was offered him, despite
the report that be declared he would not
accept the throne unless the assassinators
Of King Alexander were killed, EVIDENT
IN some press agent put words that were
too worthy Of the man in the mouth Of the
new king, There was salyo Of applause
waiting for the man II he had stood BY the
declaration with which he was credited
even il he were not rewarded with the
crown Of servia. Evidently the new king
holds character and honor in small proper
tion as compared with the crown.

1t has been argued By supporters Of the
license Law in this state, and consistently
denied BY opponents Of the law, that the
increase in the number Of arrests for ia.
toNioation is due in a great part to a more
strict enforcement Of the. law charging the
arrest Of intoxicated persons. Those who
laugh at such an argument maintain that
the conditions must have changed very
materially for the worse through the
change in the law governing liquor selling,
that the number Of intoxicated persons
should be SO much larger now than for
merly They base their belief on the court
records. For those persons who do not
credit the fact that Nermont's increase Of
DRINKS is due IN large part to a more strict

must kiss them all TO the burgomas-

worthy mothers Of soldiers" During a
ride which the kaiser made IN the
neighborhoods he asked his suit If i

The three Shamroeks are now on this
side 81 the water and the latest one Of the
bunch win soon be tuned up for some trial
races. Those who have had the privilege
Of seeing The latest creation Of Fife de-
clare that she Is far and away ahead Of
the other boats that bear the name, that
she is slicker and better proportioned.
Add to these things, the fact that her cap
tain has unbounded confidence IN the abil-
ity Of his boat, and we have some interest
centered in the coming contest. The new
Shamrock has beaten the first one Of that
name and the English experts figure that

own Columbia. Seeing that the sham
rock has been beaten easily by the new
boat It is figured that the Reliance, adj

An Everlasting Light.

\ Chicago inventor, George
Magrady, has discovered proc
ess of manufacturing a 36-candle-
power light that will never go out.
While experimenting with photo
graphic chemicals four years ago
Magrady's attention was attract
ed by glow in a small globe. The
glow was caused by a chemical
which the inventor keeps secret.
Magrady enlarged the glow and
perfected the light by placing it
in an air-tight glass. He says
there is no reason why the light
will not remain brilliant forever
if it is not broken. A company has
been formed to manufacture the
light in numerous sizes. \ patent
hood fits over the globe and covers
it completely when the light is not
needed.

Senator Money Tells of Some Of
Those Of the Negro.

Those of the Negro.
"The negro has no doubt been
mistreated in many ways; posi-
bly, he has been lynched OCCASION
ally for an offense he did not com
nit; he has been deprived of his
political rights now and then, per-
haps; his pretended friends have
forced the responsibilities of cit
izenship upon him before he was
able to wear them; spellbinders
have caused him to conjure with
the foolish dream of equality, and
all that kind of thing" said Sen
ator Money, of Mississippi, the
other day to a Washington Star
reporter, "but these grievances
are small, indeed; they are mere
trashy nothings when compared
to others to which l desire to adj
| dress myself for the moment.
"Ofcourse, Ieannot say how the
negroes feel about the things /
! have in mind, but ii seems to me
they should be inclined to offer
some kind of show Of resentment.
The negro has individuality. 1T
Is striking, even poetic, in some
respects. What is sweeter than
characteristic negro melodies?
Split up into ragtime, syncOpated,
drawn and haltered, it's natural
beauty is marred. The negro d.
alect is rich, musical, and limit
less in both comic and poetic pos
sibilities. But, my! my! if there
is a letter in the English alphabet
for which the negro shows a pro
nounced preference it is to the let

groe's use of is for are Again
we find him leaning toward the
thinner sound of "a as when he
will use ann instead of are, the
r "a in ann coming nearer to the
/ sound of II than the "a in are.
'Gwine,' the Negroes word for go
ing and, by the way, word of
, splendid euphOny, infinitely
, sweeter and more musical than
going is another illustration of
the black mans preference for the
sound of IL SO, too, amt and

: rare exception.
The negro generally sounds

of broadening it into the sound OF

very common way the negro has

, This popularity Of negro speech
is not only overlooked by the jim
ole builders who have flooded the
market with rag-time songs; the
= dialecticians who are seeking to
preserve what beauty there is in
the language Of this interesting
race by giving the negro lasting
place in the literature of the cOun-
try have fallen into the same en-
rOr.
Rob the negro of his peculiar
tiles of speech and change the

take from him all that is ludi
