As 1t Appears to President Hyde Of
Bowdoin College.

BrunSwick, Ne, May S-A number Of
suggestions for the solving of the race
problem in the South made by Presi-
dent Hyde of Eowdoin College in an
address delivered in the Congregations
al church. tonight.
President Hyde has recently return
cd from Il Il days trip through the
South. during which he made Il study
of the situation. He had embodied mis-
ideas in what he calls his "platform.' -
His suggestions upon which he elabor-
atod ut length are:
First. segregation in school, church
ana society.
Second, restriction in the sale of al
c0holi" liquors in communities where
there is likelihood of difference be-
tween the blacks and whites
Third. the opening Of industrial on
portunitics to negroes of trained and
approved efficiency.
Fourth. elementary education of the
people of both races with normal and
industrial education for those who can
profit by 1t. ana academic and col
legiatc education for those who are
likely to become leaders
Fifth, federal aid should not be ex-
tended to schools until local taxation
has prepared the way.
Sixth, punishment of brutal crimes
Of ore race against another should be
swift. sure ana severe. but the punish
ment should always be through n due
process Of the law.
Seventh. suffrage should not be
granted to shiftless and illiterate neg
roes that being the greatest blunder
that the North made during the recon-
struction period. But the South can
make an even greater blundcr by with
holding it from intelligent negroes.
Eighth. the suppression or Illicit re-

IN ALASKA,
War Department Completes Plans for
Preservation.

Washington. D. c., May S.-The war
department has just completed plans
for sending the Sd Regular Infantry II
Alaska to relieve the troops now sta.
toned at Alaskan posts. Two COM
panies of the Sd are to be sent to Fort
Egbert. over the railroad or Canadian
route, provided there is no opposition
on the part of the Canadian govern
ment. The question of securing the
permission of Canada will be referred
to the state department in few DAYS
and steps will then be taken to bring
the matter to the attention of the Brit
ish ambassador for the purpose of hay-
ing it formally presented to the Do
miniOn government.
Ever since the determination of the
war department officials to use the Ca
madam route for sending troops IN For.
Egbcrt, transportation companies rs
ing the Yukon route have urged tina,
Canada would interDose an objection
to American troops passing over Cana
dian territory. Last year, several small
dctachmcnts of American soldiers went
through by this route without any OBJ
lection, but this year, it is proposed to
forward force consisting of 143 men
and relieve a small garrison now at
Fort Egbert. In fact, the sending of
two companies doubles the garrison
now there.
In connection with this program,
there is another transportation fight
due to the decision of the war depart
mcnt to send the Sd Infantry north
from san Francisco on board the trans
port Crook, instead of by Commercial
steamer and the Commercial Company
has protested against such action on
tho ground that it should have the bus
mess. 1t is not likely that the protest
will be folloWo cd by an alteration of the
plan, which is for the Crook to sail
from san Francisco with the regiment,
July !, and proceed to Skagway.

BATTLESHlP GEORGIA.
Work Being Rushed at Bath, to Ensure
Launching Next Month.

Owing to the recent good weather
work on the new 14,94S-ton battIeshiu
Georgia, under construction at Bath
Nc, is progres sing SO favorably that
her builders are making preparations
for her launch, which event, it is said
will take place about the middle OF
at work on her.
When the navy department some
months ago notified the builders of the
ships Of the Georgia class to install sub
merged tropcdo tubes in these vessels
the armor plates had to be torn away
at the bow Of each ship. The builders
have installed the Georgia'si torpedo
tubes, and are row engaged in plating
her over.
Georgia will be we'll represented when
the battleship bearing the name of that
state leaves the ways. 1t will be gala
day at Bath, and Gov. J. NJ. Terrell of
Georgia and Gov. Hill Of Maine will be
present at the ceremonies. The sponsor
has not yet been named, but will most
likely be Gov. Terrells daughter.
The Georgia. when completed, will he
n splendid ship. She will be as power
full and handsome as any vessel of any
foreign navy in her class, and will not
prove IS conspicuous 4 target as YES
sells of the French, English or German
navy. She will resemble in her make
up the hattleship London in the Eng
fish navy and the battleShip Repub-
lique in the French navy.
She will be $50 feet in length and &c
feet wide. She will have engines of
1900 indicated horsepower. Her bunk
crS will hold 1860 tons of coal, enabling
her to steam about 500 miles. The con-
tract calls for speed of 10 knots, but
like most of our up-to-date battleships
she will probably exceed the govern
ment requirements
For armament the Georgia will carry
in her main battery four Pinch, eight
8inch and IL 6-inch guns. Her secOn-
dairy battery will consist of IL 3-inch
rapid fire guns, Il 3-pounder rapid fire
guns, eight 1-pounder rapid fire guns,
two 3-inch field guns. two machine
guns and six automatic guns Her en-
gines will be twin screw vertical ex-
pansion and she will have Babcock &
Wilcox boilers.
When in commission, the Georgia will
carry for Il complement 66S men and Al
officers. She will cost s3,59O,O0O. Her
keel was laid Aug. so, 1901.

ON RIGHT TRAIL.
Police Trying to Connect Tucker With
PAGE Murder.

! Boston. May Sit was learned from
\ an official interested in the invest;ga-
/ ton of the murder of Miss Mabel Page
| of Weston that the evidence upon
which the prosecution will rely to place
|! Charles l.. Tucker in the Page house
/ with an opportunity to commit the
murder has not been supplied by any
witness in the case. This official said,
: yesterday:
I'VE think we can place the accused
| in the Page houses.
"How will you do ito" he was asked
THAT l cannot say. We cannot go
into the evidence in the case at this
time
"Will you say whether it is by some
thing discovered in the Page house be-
longing to Tucker. or by something dis
covered in his possession which pc
longed in the Page house that you ex-
pect to prove fuckers presence in the
Page house at the time of the MURDER"
II cannot answer that question eX-
plicitly. will say that evidence dis
covered in the Page house indicates
that the defendant was there
WAS it the discovery of the hairs on
the arm of fuckers coat which in
fluenccd the government to believe that
Tucker is the guilty MANI"
1T was not" was the reply.
The state police will not go into fur
Their details in connection with the evil
dence which they have been gathering
in the case against Tucker.
There IS no doubt that all the detec-
tives who have been employed on the
Page mystery are confident that they
have struck the right trail. They will
not say what the particular piece of
evidence they have is put they all adj
nit that it is something which was
found upon their visit to the Page
home.
IN view Of the refusal of the police
to admit that they have witness who
saw Tucker between Cutters Corner
ana the Page house, the inference is
drawn that il is the discovery near 1, e
body Of the victim of some piece of ev-
idonce, such as button or Il handker-
chief, which has caused the authorities
to feel so confident.

after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally I took him
into the country and tried new mix
and that was no better for him. His
grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts

He commenced to get fieshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he II en-
tirely well.
