ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE.
Plan of the Great Institution Has
Been Given Out.


Been Given Out.
New York, Feb. 22.-Dr. l.. Emmett
Holt. secretary of the board of direc-
tors of the Rockefeller Institute. has
made public the detailed plans of
the project so far as they have been
determined. These plans embrace a
scheme for an institution of medical
and pathological research. which it is
said will be without equal in this coun-
try and unexcelled in any country in
the world. The gifts of John D. Rookie
Teller to the institute thus far, aggre-
eating $1,000 900 are considered
merely beginning. and the
understanding is that Mr.. Rockefeller
stands ready to finance the institution
for any amount necessary to carry out
the work. The institute will occupy four
city blocks between the East river and
Avenue "A" and Sixtieth and Sixty
fourth streets.
DR.. Holt says that John D. Rockefel-
Ter. Jr., is also interested with his
father in the plan, but denies that the
institution is intended as a memorial
TO the elder Rockefeller's grandson,
Jack Mccormick, who died a year
and half ago. The gifts of $1,000, 900
were made by Mr.. Rockefeller in 1901.

OBSERVED AT ROME.
Americans Did Honor to the Mem.
DRY of Washington.

Americans Did Honor to the Menu
DRY of Washington.
Rome, Feb. 22.-Beautiful spring-like
weather prevailed here to-day, and all
the homes of Americans were bedecked
with the Stars and Stripes.
Because of Washington's birthday
falling on a Sunday, some objections
were made to holding receptions to-
day. These objections We're smoothed
away, however, by making the recep-
ton at the United States embassy a
purely informal affair, at which tea
was served. 1t was most enjoyable
affair and the 900 Americans present
included DIR. Nevin, rector of the Epis-
copal Church; DR.. William Burt, head
of the American Methodist missions in
Europe; Bishop Burke of st. Joseph,
Mo-; Monsignor Farrelly, director of
the American College; Mgr. Seton, the
prothonotary apostolic; Mr.. and Miss
Choate. The Chinese minister with
the staff of the legation also attended
as a compliment to the United States.

COTTON FIRE IN AUGUSTA.
Alarm Sounded While COnRreEn-

Alarm Sounded While ConGreEn-
tiOns Were at worship.
Augusta, Feb. 22.-To-night there was
a general alarm turned in during the
church hour, and the fire, which was
on Cotton Row, caused no little concern
to members of the congregations In
neighborhood churches. 1t was in the
corner of Warren Block, diagonally
across Reynolds street from the Cotton
Exchange, over the office of Dawson
d Fargo, cotton factors.
There is a freight elevator in the
building and about 100 bales of cotton
were stored in vacant rooms on the sec
ond and third floors, and 1t was among
these the fire originated. Many of the
bales were badly damaged before the
fire was eNtinguished, but none were
destroyed.
Excellent work by the department
prevented the cutting of the entire
block and a serious cotton fire. The
loss is fully covered by insurance, but
cannot be estimated until the cotton Is
all got out of the building and examined
tomorrow.
In running to the fire the rear axle on
Engine No. 4 snapped and the engine
did not reach the fire, but nobody was
hurt.

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
prospect offered by the Last Full
Week of the Session.


Washington, Feb. 22.-The House en-
tiers the last full week of The session
with the desks practically cleared of
everything except appropriation bills.
only one of these-the general de-
hclency-which was reported yester-
day, remains to be passed.
Several interesting contests are ex-
pected during the consideration Of the
questions of adjusting the differences
between the two houses on a number
OF bills in conference. Especially spir-
TIED would be the fight over the prop
osltlon to accept a statehood amend
ment If one should come to the House
as rider on an appropriation bill. 1t
would command the solid support of
the Democratic side, and, it is believ-
ed, of enough Republicans to accept it,
although 1t would be strongly resisted
by the Republican leaders.
The Philippine currency bill has
been set for Tuesday. The six suspen-
sion days, which, under the rules, pre-
ceue the expiration of each Congress,
oegln on Wednesday ana by means of
the parliamentary expedient of making
motions under suspension of the rules
parliamentary knots can be cut and
legislation expedited. The Fowler cur
rency bill will continue to be the stop
gap Whenever other matters are not
pressing, but there seems no prospect
or It's passage. There is an intimation,
however, that it might serve as a use
ful purpose in case the AIdrich deposit
bill should come over from the SEN
ate 1t is said that the latter bill could
be substituted for the former without
going to committee, either by striking
out all after the enacting clause of the
Fowler bill or through the operations
OF special rule. If neither of these
courses was adopted. the bill would be
referred to the Ways and Means Com
mittee, which could report it forth
with, as it is well understood that a
reference to the Committee on Banking
and Currency would be equivalent to
its death. The reference to the WAYS
and Means Committee can be made on
the grounds that it provides for inter-
est on government deposits in national
banks, and to that extent is a reve-
nue. measure.

WASHINGTON SPEAKS
ON WASHINGTON.
~eGro Was the Orator at a Memori-
al Greeting.

al Erecting.
New York, Feb. 22.-Washington's
birthday was observed here by special
services of patriotic societies, and many
,lergymen made the anniversary the
subject of their sermons.
Booker 7. Washington was the orator
st A memorial meeting held tonight in
the Academy of Arts and Sciences. The
sneaker devoted his address to the con-
sideratio of the race problem, and said
in part:
Unlike the Indian, the original Mex
lean. or the Hawaiian, the negro, so far
from dying out, when in contact with
4 stronger and different race, has con-
tiuued to increase in numbers to such
an extent that whereas the race enter
ed bondage twenty in number, there are
now more than nine millions So [
want to emphasize the truth that
whether we are of Northern or of
Southern birth. whether we are black
0r white. we must face frankly the hard
stubborn fact that in bondage and In
freedom the negro, in spite of all pre-
dictions to the contrary, has continued
year by year to increase in numbers
until he now forms about one-seventh
Of the entire population, and that there
lrease will not hold good in the future.
Further than this, despite all the
hanging, uncertain conditions through
which the race has passed, and is pass
ing in this country, whether in bond
age or in freedom, he has made
steady gain in property skill, habits
of industry, education and Christian
character.
To deal practically and directly
with the affairs of my own race. 1 be-
leve that both the teachings of his
tory as we'll as the results of every
day observation. should convince us
that we shall make our most enduring
progress by laying the foundations
carefully, patiently. in the ownership
OF the soil, the exercises of habits of
economy, the saving of money the Sc
curing of the most complete education
of hand and head and the cultivation
of Christian virtues.
Il cannot believe. I will not believe.
that country that invites into it's
midst every type of European, from
the highest to the very dregs of the
earth, and gives these corners shelter,
protection and the highest encourage
lnent. will refuse to accord the same
protection and encouragement to her
black citizens. The negro seeks no spe-
Cial privileges. All that he asks is OPP
portunty-that the same law which is
made by the white man and applied to
the one race, be applied with equal
certainty and eXactness to the other.
The age for settling great questions,
either social or national, with the
shotgun, the torch and by lynchings
has passed. An appeal to such meth
DDS is unworthy Of either race. I be-
leye the time has cOme-and l believe
it a perfectly practical thing-when a
group of representative Southern men
and Northern white men and negroes
should meet and consider with the
greatest calmness and business sagac-
Try, the whole subject as viewed from
every standpoint"

Dry Kiln of the Fender Lumber
Company Was Burned.

Valdosta, Ga, Feb. 22.-The dry kiln
of the Fender Lumber Company, with
several carloads of lumber. was de-
stroyed by fire between u and o'clock
this morning. The alarm sounded
about 1890 o'clock and the firemen re-
sponded promptly, though the mill is
located so far from the center of the
city that it was some time before
streams of water could be played on
the flames.
The fire for awhile threatened the
large planning mill, as well as the main
mill, the dry kiln being located be-
tween the two. with large piles of
lumber connecting them. For an hour
or more the firemen had a desperate
fight but succeeded in conquering the
flames before anything but the dry
kiln and its contents were consumed.
The loss viii amount to probably
$1,000, partially covered by insurance,
the building having some insurance on
it, though there was none on the con-
tents of the kiln.
1t is not known how the fire origin
ated.

CALCIUM SALTS CURE
NERVOUS DISEASES.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Dr. jacques Loeb,
the former head of the department of
physiology of the University of Chica-
nervous diseases, such as st. Vitus
dance, paralysis agitans, locomotor
ataxia and sleeplessness, can be cured
by administering calcium salts, that 1s,
such salts as are found in well water
and many foods.
Simply stated, the conclusion is that
the presence of calcium salts in the
muscles is what prevents their twitch-
ing. that practically all nervous dis
eases are caused by the absence of the
calcium, and that, therefore, to restore
normal conditions and effect a cure, is
to dose with calcium salts.
