mental development is one for the dis
section of which proximity to the negro
will in no wise be an aid. 1t is merely
q question OF the acceptation or the re-
lection of principle which can have no
special application to the negro as
against other races Of human beings. IL 1t
is believed that human beings in general
are capable Of indefinite mental develop
ment, no exception can be made In the
case of the negro, for the negro can not
be shown to be radically different from
other human beings oflike opportunities
1t strikes US that the attitude that
takes for granted the incapability OF the
negro for indefinite development cannot
but be an assumed ne-instinctively as
sumed we are inclined to believe, very
much as a sort Of defense to the aggres-
sive self -assertiveness which character
ICES many negroes OF q certain class 1t
is but natural that in the south, where
the negro population not onlypredomin-
ates, but where It's predominance is on
the increase, there should be much more
of this assumed attitude on the part Of
the whites than in the north But after
all, those who wish really to study the
problem get at the solution can i'll
afford to be hampered by any such il
logical assumption.
The truth has probably already been
by such men as Booker T.
Washington and Carl Schurz. They
claim that while the negro is capable rs
every other human being, OF indefinite
development, that development must
necessarily be slow and must proceed at
first along lines Of physical rs well ~
mental effort

TIDE PERFORMS HUGE TASK.
Railroad Bridge at Newark, N. j., Ia
Floatcd Into Position by Ris-
Ing Water.

thousands of people of Newark, N. j.,
recently saw the tide harnessed and
made to perform a big piece OF work
under the direction of the human
mind
The task successfully accomplished
was the shifting of the draw Of a rail-
road bridge over the Passaic river from
one pier to another. The draw weighs
1000 tons. is 220 feet long, and dou-
ble-decker. and 1t was moved 35 feet
and lowered ll1l feet.
Two big scows dashed together were
used on either end OF tho draw. On
each had been built a heavy box, filled
with fine sand. The boxes had beer
built to such n height that at low tide
the scows could just pass under the
floor girders Of the draw.
The scows were foated under the
draw at low tide at four o'clock In
the morning. At eight o'clock the
tide had raised scows and the draw
TIL the latter was free OF the pier.
Eighteen minutes later the tide had
borne Its burden to the new home OF
boxes and the weight OF the draw
forced the scows down into the wa.
ter until the draw rested on the new
foundations.
Tho whole operation was accom-
plished without the leasA mishap.

A RADICAL CHANGE.
Famous Training Quarters for Ath-
letes to Become a Convent
"Bi7ly" MuldOon, the Well-KnOwn
Former Wrestler, Presents His
Estate for Educational and
Charitable Purposes.

BILLY" Muldoon, the famous wrestler,
has presented his extensive and beauti-
full estate, known as "Muldoon's Farm"
previously used as a training school of
his art, to St. Patrick's Roman Catholic
church, of Belfast, New York, to be con-
verted into a convent. The entire prop
erty has been given to Bishop Cotton. OF
Stephens Roman Catholic church. In
New York.
The "Muldoon Farm" Is well known
throughout the United States as the
place where many famous athletes have
been trained into condition for cham
prominent members Of New York q
400" have studied physical culture.
The only condition which the former
owner has attached to the transfer OF
the buildings and grounds to Bishop
Cotton Is that 1t should always remain
the property OF the church, and that the
mansion should be used exclusively as
convent, while the other buildings
should be utilized for educational and
charitable purposes. Bishop Cotton will
set about at once to convert the build
ings into the uses for which they were
given by the generous donor.
Il desired to give my property" said
Muldoon. Ito some church or organiza-
ton where 1t could be converted into
worthy, charitable purposes. and In
looking over the field in New York,
have finally decided to present 1t as a
free gift to the Roman Catholic church.

my wishes and DESIRES"
1t was at Muldoon Farm that John l..
Sullivan, the famous pugilist of his day
was rehabilitated. Hundreds Of influen-
tial and prominent men OF New York,
including leading representatives Of the
financial and social world of the Empire
state, have been visitors and temporary
residents OF Muldoon Farm in years
gone by and gratefully admit that the
unique treatment they then received
coupled with the compulsory participa-
ton In novel exercises in physical cul-
ture that were enforced under the root
or the farm, was the chief factor in re-
gaining for them health and happiness.

NOTES OF BOOKS
AND MAGAZINES

| State Superintendent Of Schools, C.P.
Carey has issued the Wisconsin Ar
Dor and Bird Day Annual for 1904
1t is compiled by Maud Barnet and Ii
attractively gotten mp. The fact how
ever of it's having being printed by the
State Printer is plainly evidenced by it,
remarkably poor press work. There
are some splendid photographers OF trees
furnished by A. W. Mumford. of Chica
go, but the pen and ink sketches and
the cover design are Enthusiastically the
work of amateurs.
The best feature of the entire book is
its excellent collection OF poems on
Arbor Day subjects. The selection has
been made with care and taste and
there are among the number some
veritable, but little known, gems. Such
rhymes as Eugene Fields The Sugar
Plumb Tree or James Whitcomb
Riley's odd Man Whiskery Vince KUN
-Wheeze, 1.-THE Earths Lyric by Bliss
Carmen or Wordsworth's ITO Sky
lark, should become household favor
ties throughout the land. Two de-
licious little child poems by Robert
Louis Stevenson, than whom no author
that ever lived knew more intimately
and tenderly the workings of child 8
mind, we take the liberty' of reproduc
ing here. The one is entitled THE
Cow and is as follows
The friendly COW all red and white
love with all my heart;
She gives me cream with all her might,
To eat with apple tart
She wanders lowing here and there.
And yet she cannot stray,
Al! in the pleasant open air,
The pleasant light of day;
And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers.
The other, entitled Singing, is as
little nursery rhyme as we
have ever read and reads
OF speckled eggs the birdie sings
And nests among the treas;
The sailor sings of ropes and things
In ships upon the seas.
The children sing in far Japan
The children sing in Spain:
The organ with the organ man
Is singing in the rain.

Mr.. WAITS STRENGTn

One of the most satisfactory thing
about the recent meeting at milwaukee,
Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee was the strength shown by the
Wall contingent against tn Hearst del
rgation While it WIS conceded that
the Hearst men were factor, and one
to be dealt with, and if necessary pro.
pitiated, it was plain from the start that
the prevailing sentiment was decidedly
Wallward As for Mr. Wall himself,
he made most favorable impression.
He is evidently a broadminded man and
his long experience ~ a party leader
has given him keen political weather
eye. A notable fact in his movement is
that men who beat him come while ago
in the State Committee hght are now
coming into line M his supporters.
1t Is, of course still aauestion N to
whether Mr. Wall will prove the dark
horse that can capture the Democracy
Of the entire country But there are one or
two points in hi- favor which lend de-
cided aspect Of rea-onahenrss TO his
candidacy In the frat place he has al
ways been a loyal party man. and at
the same time be- has never been cham
pion Of the free silver plank He has,
with many other sane Democrats re
garded that plank ~ q fallacy, but he
has preferred TO do whatever regenera
ton was to b. done from within the par
ty and not from without In the second
place it il pretty frequently whispered
in high places that Mr. Walls candida
cy has met with the tacit approval of
William Jennings Bryan. Indeed it IL
considered NJ pretty certain that the
Wisconsin man would have Mr. Bryan 4
active support in campaign II Is
therefore fairly evident that Mr.. Wall
would be- candidate upon whom the
entire party could unite once more har-
moni1u-ly His candidacy would be
able to call into play tn" entire party
machinery in the country and that, OF
itself would bc % tremendous factor in
the situation II il what can hardly be
sad Of any other prospective candidate.
In tho thlrd place Mr. Wall will in all
probability have the Wisconsin delega-
ton solid. This while it may not be
the pivotal factor will nevertheless
have powerful influence in his favor
Whether or no Mr. Wall shall prove
the choic" Of the national convention,
we believe from recent developments,
that he viii mako much stronger
showing than people gave him credit for
nj the time Of the announcement Of his
candidacy II strikes rs that, if only
TO ward of the further adlum which the
accepting II William Randolph Hearst
would place upon the party, Wisconsin
Democrats .houdu,w INIT" upon this
'ayoritc son with hong pull and II
strong pull mud puIlall together Let
it never he -aid thal the party in his
