The Tuskeqee Institute.
Nr. Carnegie's Gift Should Be Followed
by Other Benefactions.

1t IS 10 be hoped that Andrew Car
negie's recent gift of 100000 in Steel
Trust bonds to the Tuskegee Institute
viii be supplemented by gifts from
other sources generous enough 10 fur
nish President Washington with the
full endowment fund the Institute so
sorely needs. The cost of the work at
Tuskegee-about Sl50.00O annually
has hitherto been met by current sub
scIIption- But the labor Of gathering
together this fund has been an ex-
hausting one for President Washing
ton, whose time and energy could be
far better applied IN the proper field
OF education To allow his eyceD-
tional abilities TO be turned again into
their natural channel, an ample en-
dowment for Tuskegee Is requisite.
Mr., Carnegie's gift i. a first step to-
ward creating that permanent fund
and as such is TO be welcomed as an
exhibition of the truest and most far
sighted philanthropy.
There can be no doubt that after
years Of hesitation and perplexitv en-
ightened opinion IN the United States
has come to accept the experiment be
gun by Booker Washington as the one
hopeful means eff solving the negro
problem Prof Washington reeog-
nIzes-as every other serious observer
must reeognize-that the negro's fu-
ture in this country hinges solely on
his capacity 10 become a factor in lis
industrial growth. Barred always
from the hope Of social equality with
the superior race; barred now, Ia spite
Of reconstruction legislation. from all
but the merest shadow of political
equality, his sole chance of maintain
ing himself IN the American scheme
Of civilization lies n the possibility
Of his playing some role Of conse-
quence IN productive industry.
II he can become a skilled artisan.
a thrifty farmer, a trustworthy me-
chanic, a faithful and efficient work
man IN any field of labor, his future
Is measurably assured. To survive
amid the heat and stress Of eompeti-
lion he must develop an industrial eff
ficiency equal to, If not greater than.
that Of the race which now denies and
viii continue 10 deny him either social
or political equality. Unless the ne
gre can show a capacity for progress
along the lines Prof. Washington has
laid down for him his fate will be that
Of every other inferior race brought
into contact and competition with our
European civilization. BY the opera
ton Of forces which legislation Is
poWerless TO alter he will inevitably
be driven to the wall.
As a rational and hopeful expert
ment, therefore, President Washing
tons institute deserves the full and
cordial support Of every true friend
OF order and progress. 1t promises a /
solution OF The negro problem at once

Duchesse de Berry st Dieppe.

Dieppe boasts of being the most an- cient of all the "balns de mer." Henri III. repaired thlther In 157S ito bathe In the sea in order to cure certain ail- ments from which he suffered"
 For long time the Dieppe baths were reported to be eflicacious in cases of hydrophobla. When Henry TVS little dog Fanor. had been bitten by big dog, supposed to be mad. 1t was dispatched to Dieppe in charge of a groom of the chamber. pour etre mouille dans Ia mer," and Mime. de Hevigne relates that some ladies of the Sourt who had been bitten by q mad dog went there in 1671.
 It was, however, the Duchesse de Berry who popularized Dieppe. She went there regularly from 1924 to 1880 and once took part in really remark able ceremony of Inauguration on the beach. While cannon thundered and bells pealed and bands played she pub licly entered the water, led by the hand by the royal medical inspector of the baths." who was attired in even Ing dress with kid gloves. One would give a great deal for snap shot of that performance.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The First American Bible.

Tn 1868 the first Bible printed in America was published In Cambridge. It was unlawful to print an English version of the Scriptures, that right be- Ing a monopoly enjoyed by privilege and patent in England. The one print ed in Massachusetts was Eliot's fa- nous "Indlan Bible." and. although 1.5OO copies were struck off. they are quite rare and sealed books" as the tongue in which they are written is lit erally dead language" the tribe and all who had knowledge of the dia- lect being long extinct.
 Eliot's work Is unique, being at once a monument to his piety, perseverance and learning. Its literary successor was Newman's Concordance of the Scriptures" This was compiled by the light of pine knots in log cabin in one of the frontier settlements of Mas sachusetts. It was the first of its kind and for more than century was ad- mitted to be the most perfect, holding It's place in public esteem until super seded by Crudens. which 1t suggested.

Expectations Hungarian Peasnnts.
 A queer case of superstition which resulted in the loss of two lives is re- ported from Hungary. A peasant liv- ing In Nosztany died of heart disease while attending market in Kurd. His relatives started to take the body home. but were forcibly prevented from car rying the body through the village of Iharos, whose inhabitants believed that the passage of a strange corpse through their town would bring endless mlsfor- tune to 1t. The procession returned to Kurd, and the next day 1t set out again. this time with an escort of gendar1nes. When it reached Iharos 1t was met by the whole population of the village. armed with scythes, pitchforks, axes and anything that could be used as weapon. The gendarmes were forced to fire three volleys before they could get through the place. Two of the vil- lagers were killed and many wounded.

People with good blood possess strong, steady nerves and are blest with good appetites and digestion, and enjoy sound, refreshing sleep. If we could always maintain the purity Of the blood then we might enjoy perpetual health, but it becomes infected and poisoned and most of the ills that afflict humanity and undermine the constitu- ton are caused by an impoverished or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
 When the blood is diseased the skin loses it's healthy appearance, and the complexion, its freshness and beauty and becomes red and rough and full of pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes break out upon the body when the blood is too poor or too thin and acid, and is not supplying proper nourish- ment to the system. Debility, poor appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep and nervousness more often come from sluggish, impure blood than any other cause.

LIONS TOOTH PULLED.
LiUely Time IN administering Chic
reform at Glen Island.

Jack" the big lion at Glen Island had a
tooth extracted yesterday and it required the
united efforts of four strong men to accomplish
the task. Ten days ago he became irritable
and close watch put on him to determine
the cause OF the trouble. At times especially
after eating he would fly into a paroxysm Of
rage and dash about his cage in an unaccount-
able manner. Finally the headkeeper. Frank
Healey. discovered that the lion had jumping
toothache. The poor brute suffered so that he
had to be removed to the animal hospital under
the aquarium. At times. frequently in the still
ness of the night he woul6 roar so loud in pain
that he could be heard in New-Rochele.
On two occasions Healey tried to administer
relief but was unsuccessful and then it was de-
cided to adopt heroic measures. Early yester-
day Jacks cage was wheeled into the centre
of the space under the aquarium. and after
great deal of maneuvring moose was slipped
over his head. Ropes had been attached to two
sides of the moose. and while these were tight
ened and held to the floor Mr.. Healey slipped
in the door. In an instant he had put the
lions head a large peach basket containing
sponges saturated with chloroform. Before Mr..
Healey safely out of the cage the lion had
demolished the basket with one of his forefeet,
and the attempt to give the anasthetic had to be
abandoned.
A second attempt was made half an hour
later. This time a rope run under the
lions belly and over mis- launches. and with
these and the rope about his neck he was hoist
ed to the top of the cage, when II took but a
moment to twist few coils OF rope about his
legs. When he was lowered to the floor he was
helpless as far as freedom of his limbs was con-
cerned. Then another peach basket was
brought into use. There was nearly a quart or
chloroform sprinkled on the large sponges in the
basket. The lion made a strong resistance
when the basket was placed over his nose, but
his struggles grew gradually less as the effects
of the anesthetic began TO be felt In less than
five minutes the big lion was unconscious.
Then A L. Princehorn and Healey pried open
the jaws and placed block of wood in 10 pre-
vent them from closing When the aching
mOlar found the. gums had to be lanced TO
allow the forceps a good hold As they We're
about 10 be adjusted the Hon moved his head,
and there was a sudden scattering of the at
tendants More chloroform administered
and then a good hold taken with the for
ceps. 1t took a hard pull to extract the molar,
but 1t finally accomplished.
Then an antiseptic placed on the wound.
and when all was completed the ropes were re-
leased and the cage wheeled out in the open
air. Within fifteen minutes the lion had revived
and was shifting about the cage. The tooth is
now In the Glen Island museum. Two hours
after Jack had been separated from his aching
moar he seemed to have fully recovered from
the effects of the operation

GIRL GAZE DEATH PARTY.
SAID To Be Dying, She Entertained
Friends.

Young woman who is thought to be dying
from consumption gave novel party in Mount
Vernon last week She called it death party
At the affair, which was attended by dozen
Young women, the hostess wore a white silk
dress in which she expects to be buried. She
made the dress herself only a few weeks ago.
The GIRL who is about nineteen years Old has
been in failing health for year. Her doctor
knew that she had consumption, but kept the
news from her. fearing that if she learned that
she could not live she would become melan-
choly. It finally became necessary to tell her
that she was going TO die but instead of becom-
ing melancholy, as her family had anticipated
she bore up cheerfully and began arranging her
farewell party She invited all Of the young
women of her acquaintance, and when they
came she informed them that she had sent for
them to bid them farewell. The guests felt a
little hesitation at first about being too jovial
but the hostess took the lead by playing some
popular airs for them on her piano and treating
them all to ice cream and cake.
The party turned out to be an enjoyable af-
fair. AS the guests were departing they
rounded the big armchair in which their hostess
sat propped up and each kissed her goodby
probably forever. The scene affecting
that nearly all the girls were in tears, and
the sick girl herself finally broke down and
wept with the others

EXPECT FURTHER RISE.
Great Damage from Flood Not
Feared at Kansas City, Ho1ceUer.

Kansas City. Mo, Aug. MISUNDERSTANDING
that the Kansas River at this point had risen
foot in twenty-four hours. up TO O'Clock this
afternoon. when it became stationary. and that
a further rise is expected tomorrow. no great
damage is likely to result. West of here, at
Lawrence and Topeka, the Kansas River has
risen slightly since last night and at Salina and
Junction City. its tributaries, the Smoky Hill
and the Publican rivers rising at a steady
gait and sending the water this way. Most of
this water will reach here within another TWEEN
ty-four hours. but while further two foot rise
here is predicted a fall from that time is
looked for.
Traffic between the two Kansas cities is stl
suspended, as the temporary pile bridges are
unsafe. A sand scow broke away to-day, strik-
ing the James-st. bridge. the principal bridge
between the two cities, knocking several piles
loose and rendering that structure unsafe for
streetcars or vehicles At the belt line bridge
the current was swift that it became neces-
sary TO remove section of the bridge 10 let
the great mass of driftwood through.
Fearing temporary abandonment of some
Of the railroad yards in the lower part of the
bottoms, the Swift Packing Company moved
several tons Of provisions 10 this side of The
river to-day. The water must rise fifteen feet
before it can reach the business houses how
ever and this is not al all likely.

MOB STREET PREACHER.
Cro10d Helps Escorts of Women
Who Resent His Remarks.

An unfortunate habit of pointing the moral
of his sermons from people in the audience and
of using personal repartee resulted in trouble
for Maxwell tombstone, a street preacher, and
very nearly brought about small riot at Twen-
ty-third-st. and Fifth-ave. last night.
tombstone was preaching in loud tone, and
waving his arms in an excited fashion.
when two women, who were passing with
their escorts saw him and smiled. tombstone
resented the smile. He stopped his sermon and
called out at the top of his voice: "Oh, you
women of the streets! You are going straight
to -"
Then the trouble began, The women's escorts
attacked the preacher. They seemed to have
the sympathy of the crowd, and several men
turned in to help them finish him. Things
were looking bad for the preacher when Police
man Gessner came along and pulled him out
from under the crowd of irate men,
Three lawyers who in the crowd-the

in his remarks. frequently picking out some man
in the crowd and prophesying all sorts OF dire
things about his future state. and that he does
far more harm than good. He has made many
complaints at the police stations lately, and the
policemen say that an investigation has almost
always proved that he was the aggressor in the
trouble
