Bible Glass.
From the New York Herald.
Copies of the first book of accounts
kept by Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, Sr.,
were yesterday distributed to the mem
bers of the Bible class of his son at
the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church.
The volumes looked like miniature
records from business Office, and on
their covers they bore in gilt letters
the legend, First Ledger of a Success
full Man of Affairs" They were six
inches long by five in width, and the
binding was yellow, with backs and
corners of red.
There were no crimson rulings and
mysterious criss crossings inside, but
a report of a speech of the senior Mr..
Rockefeller on March p, 1897, in which
he reviewed his early struggles toward
success, was printed.
His expenditures, his regrettable ex-
travagance in buying two ana halt
dollar pair of gloves when mittens would
have sufficed; the orderly distribution
of his surplus pennies TO charity and

New Serial,

A new magazine serial that will be
joyfully anticipated by all who love a
real story will be Stewart Edward
Whites "The Rawhide," which is an
nounced to begin in the November Nc.
Cures. In this new story Mr.. White
roves his scene from the great north.
ern forests of the "Blazed Trail" and
the snowy wastes of "The Silent
Places" to the painted deserts and
houndless plains of Arizona. Maxfield
Parish is to illustrate the story in
color, and with such subject as the
desert his pictures ought to be some
thing gorgeous.
George Madden Martin brings her
charming heroine, "The House of Full
flment of Cravino." in the October
McClure's. which concludes her serial.
Here is the climax of the story, the
final solution of its problems, and the
disposition of it's real people whom
many have grown to know and care for
as friends. This successful serial is
to be published in book form by Nc
Cure. Phillips and company this fall,
and is assured of wide popularity.

BACK TO THE DOCKS.

Dispatches from Galveston make
record of the fact that the Hon Mike
Crowley, who represented that dis
trict in congress for one term is now
a cotton screwman and is earning the
union scale of seven dollars a day
j., loading cotton at that port. Incl
dentally Mike is the Democratic can
didate for county attorney. He is
a lawyer, but as business in that line
has not been very brisk recently. he
has gone back to his old work, which
is about as hard manual labor as can
be discovered.

friends at the Hoffman House re-
Gently.

number of women who believe they

come back at their enemies in way
calculated to make the charge react
upon its makers.
They assert that if anybody should
be criticised for this Sunday meet
ing, it ,is the Republican manage
ment, which made it necessary; and
as their assertion has back OF 1t the
issue Of fair play, the Republicans
find themselves on the defensive.
1t happened this way: When tht
Democrats set about to secure an au
ditorium for a big rally at which
Bourke Cochran was to be the prnci
pal speaker. they found that the Re
publicans had worked a sharp poIiti
cal trick by securing every available
hall of any size in Providence fol
every week day night until the elec
ton. The Republicans, under Sena
tor Aldrich, have become SO alarmed
at the conditions prevailing in Little
Rhody that they determined to pre-
vent the preaching of the Democratic
doctrine if they could.
When the Democratic managers
found what had been done, they de
tcrmned upon a Sunday night rally
There was great crowd present
The managers asked the audience to
be moderate in its demonstrations OF
applause because of the sacred char
acter of the day and it complied, al.
though Mr.. Cochran made one of his
characteristic speeches which stirred
his hearers. He did not fail to take
advantage of the opportunity to score
heavily upon the Republican manage
nlent for the cheap political trick
il had played. and his appeal for fair
play fell upon willing ears
Even the Republican papers OF
New England agree that the trick
OF the Republican management is re-
acting in favor of the Democrats.

RoosEvELTlsM RESPONSIBLE.


When all the details connected with
the shocking murder of Conductor p.
II. Atwood by Houston Hooker, the
negro porter on Mr.. Atwood's train.
are heard it is difficult for the con-
servative person to get away from
the conclusion that the brutal act OF
Hooker is due to Rooseveltism.
For many years Hooker had been
porter on Atwood's train and he
filed the position most eXcellently
He understood his duties and perform
cd them faithfully He knew his
place and knew how to remain in it..
SO we'll did he perform his duties that
he won Mr. Atwood's friendship. In
fact. he was the best friend Hooker
had in this world. When the ne
gro's health became impaired the
past summer Mr. Atwood let him
OF climate for recuperation. Hooker
spent much of his time in Washing
ton and Philadelphia. When he re-
turned he was given back his posi-
tion on Mr. Atwood's train.
However, it did not take Mr.. At
wood long to discover that Hooker
had returned from the east very
much changed negro. He was not
attentive to his duties. and whenever
he was reprimanded for his neglect
he was inclined to be insolent. Mr..
Atwood had remarked to friends that
Hooker's brief stay in the east had
spoiled him.
No doubt that in Washington and
Philadelphia Hooker heard much
from the negroes Of those cities
about our negro equality president
and that they made him be-
gro he was being much
abused and that negro equality was
going to be result all over the coun,
try as we'll as at the White House.
and that negroes must begin to de.
mand equality from the white man.
Hooker's remarks to the negroes on
the train, after killing Atwood indi
cate clearly that he became absorbed
with the Roosevelt idea while a
Washington and Philadelphia. He
said that the negro had not been
treated fairly by the whi,e man, and
that it was time for the negro to
assert himself. Mr.. Atwood had al
ways been the negro's friend. and he
was murdered by Hooker for no other
reason than that he reprimanded the
negro for reading newspaper and
peglecting his duties. Before spend
ing a brief time in the east Hooker
rarely ever shirked his duties. and
was never insolent when repr-
manded for failure to perform his
work. He came back from Wash
ington with very different ideas OF
what should be the relations between
the two races. and that he became
imbued with these ideas by associa
tion with negroes who are instilled
with the Roosevelt idea there can
Re no doubt, hence it is not easy to
arrive at any other conclusion than
that the murder of Conductor Atwood
was due to the negro equality acts
ard utterances OF President Roose-
welt.
