NEGRO MILL LABOR FAILURE
Experience at Charleston Has
Been Duplicated.

Once more the failure of the negro
as cotton mill operative is to be re-
corded. The experience of the Charles
ton mill owners has been duplicated at
Concord, N. c., where the only big
mill in the country employing negro
hands exclusively the other day went
into the hands of a receiver. AS in
the Charleston experiment, the hands
In the Concord factory proved unrelia'
BILE and inefficient, and the mill lost
money by attempting to continue bust
ness with them.
1t seems unlikely that there will be
other attempts to utilize the negro IN
the cotton mill at any time in the near
future. The negro may possibly con-
sent to work for a smaller rate OF
pay than the white laborer will
work for, but the reliability and ETH
cheney of white labor make it far more
economical In the end.

MORMON WOMEN PANATICAL
STRONG BELIEVERS IN THEIR RELIC
ION, THEY ACCEPT POLYGAMY.
Are Now at Work to Prevent Anti-PoIyg.
amy Plank from Being Put in
Political Platforms.

From publications hostile to Nor
circulation the impression gained re-
speeding Mormon women is that they
find their condition intolera ble-espe-
cially those who arc plural wives. 1t
would seem as if all Mormon women
would object to polygamy. 1t appears,
however, that some of them are 50 fa-
natical that they accept it, believing
they will have their reward in the
next world.
A Salt Lake City dispatch to the
New York Herald says a committee of
Mormon women, headed by a plural
wife of Angus NJ. ICannon, one of the
lights of the Mormon church, is ex-
erting every effort to prevent an anti
polygamy plank from being put into
the democratic platform. They have
called upon those who will likely be
delegates to the st. Louis convention
from Utah, and have urged them to use
their influence to prevent such plank
from being offered, but to vote for it
If offered, or at least to say nothing
against 1t, for the reason that if the
Mormon delegates were to oppose it
their action would be the text for
sermons in all parts of the country
against Mormonism. The committee
of Mormon women hope to prevent the
introduction of an anti polygamy plank
and thus avoid any discussion of
Mormonism in the presidential cam
paign.
1t is reported that Senator Du bois of
Idaho has prepared an anti-polygamy
plank for the democratic platform
which he will offer at ST. Louis. Per-
haps the knowledge of his purpose is
the cause of the action that is being
taken by the committee of Mormon
women.

ELEPHANT SWAN ASHORE.
Surprised Men Fishing in Ocean
Near New DOrp.

A New York dispatch says an ele-
plant that swan ashore at New Dorp,
Staten Island, Saturday morning was
taken into custody there and held at
the headquarters of the mounted po-
lice as vagrant. The animal, it is
supposed, escaped from Coney Island.
Frank Kressler of Jersey City and a
friend went to New Dorp Friday
morning Oh fishing expedition. They
started out at a. m. IN row boat and
anchored about three-quarters of mile
from New Dorp. The fog was thick,
and nothing could be seen of their sur
roundings. They had been fishing
about an bour when they heard Pc
culiar noise, as if something was ap-
preaching their boat. They feared at
first that they would be run down by a
vessel. They shouted, but received
no response. Then they discovered
through the fog huge form coming
toward the boat. 1t looked like a
whale, and Kressler and his partner
thought it would be good plan to get
away from there as quickly as possible.
They were raising the anchor and had
nearly got it into the boat when the
mysterious object came near enough
for them to zee, to their amazement,
that it was an elephant.
The police say the elephant is prob
ably one of the three that were report
ed to have escaped from Lunar park,
.Coney Island. Thursday Two of them,
it was said, we're captured soon after
their escape, but the third vas still
missing Friday night.

'TAMMANY TRAINS FULL.
No Use Asking Plunkitt to Carry
You to ST. Louis.

A New York dispatch says Senator
Plunkltt, who has charge of the ar
engagements for transporting the Tam
many contingent to St. Louis, says
that he has already received nealy
1900 applications for tickets for the
special trains and that more apDlica-
tions are coming in daily.
"These late corners might as well
stop sending in applications, he said.
There will not be enough accommo-
dations for the men who have already
sent in their applications. Even if we
pack the special trains we won't be
able to take care of more than about a
thousand. 1t will certainly be the
largest delegation that Tammany has
ever sent to national convention"

The population of the Philippine Is
lands, according to the census just
completed under Brigadier General j.
p. Sanger, is 1855, 426, of which 647,-
74O are classed as wild and uncivillzed,
although not without some knowledge
of the domestic arts.
This is the first accurate and CON-
plete enumeration of the Filipinos
ever made, those undertaken by the
Spanish authorities being largely esti'
mates. Is was taken by the Philip
pine census bureau, which was organ
lied by General Sanger.
The enumerators employed were
mostly natives. The schedules were
translated, transcribed and tabulated
bv the United States census Office in
Washington.
General Sanger's report gives the
population of the Philippines by is
lands. provinces, municipalities and
barrlos. 1t is classified also by tribes
and religions.
The tables give separate enumera'
tions for 343 islands which bear names,
and many others are grouped together
unnamed. The most populouS island
is Luzon, which contains a total OF
8 79S. 5O7. of which 232, 500 are classed
as wild. Panay is next in population
with 745, GAG, of which IA, 933 are wild;
Cebu third, with 592, 247, all civilized,
and Mindanoa is fourth, with 499, 1854,
of which 252, $40 are wild. Jolo, with
IA I9 inhabitants, contains only l,2'O
who are clyi lied, and the province OF
Cotabato, with 123,S75 people, has but
2,4l3 civilized.
The city of Manila contains 2l9,O20
inhabitants. which includes 1890 woo

II. AGO live in the limits of the city
| walls.
General Sanger says the aborigines
of the Philippines are believed to be
the Negritos, of which $4,000 still re-
main. They are distributed over
MANY of the different provinces and
live in a primitive state, having no TX
ad habitations or occupations, but
wander about in the forests. living on

and their toes are remarkably prehen-
sile, they using them almost as well
as fingers.
These people, says the report, prob
ably approach as near to the concep-
ton of primitive man as any people
thus far discovered. Their origin is
shrouded in mystery, but from the
fact that similar types are found in
the Malay peninsular and in the is
lands of the Bay of Bengal it is con-
Guided they once occupied the entire
Malay archipelago.
Of the other wild tribes in the
islands the most important are the
Igorotes, in northern Luzon, who are
divided into several branches, with
different names. One of these
branches, inhabiting the sub province
of Bontoc, are said to be the most
famous of ad-hunters. Another curl
GUS tribe of head hunters is the lbilao,
sometimes called Ilongot, in the prov
ince of Isabella, while in Mindanao
are seventeen wild tribes, nearly all OF
which have the beliefs and ceremoni-
al customs of savages. They not only

TROUBLE AT SOLDIERS HOME
Liquor Drinking Seems to be a
Feature of the Institution.

An Atlanta dispatch says the board
of trustees of the soldiers home has
! been compelled to suspend from duty
L. G. Slade, who has been tilltng the
Office of superintendent of the home
for year or more, and George Miller,
one of the inmates of the home, Is tenn
porarily acting as superintendent. Mr..
Slade came to the institution from
Putnam county and Mr.. Miller is from
Cobb county.
Mr.. SHADES suspension is due to the
fact that recently he has been using
lntoxicants so freely as to unit him
for the duties of the Office, and as re-
suit demoralizing effects have fol-
lowed.
It is said that a special meeting OF
the board may be held at an early day
for the purpose of electing new eu'
perintendent of the home. If this does
not occur Judge w. L. Calhoun Will
likely appoint Mr.. Miller or some one
else to act as superintendent until the
meeting of the board the early part OF
next month. It is stated that for some
time several inmates of the home have
been drinking so freely that their
presence is no longer desired, and that
at the next meeting of the board steps
will be taken to rid the home OF them.

Statehood Prospects
Joint Statehood on the Program
Curtis Confident.

Washington, Dec. 4-Joint state
hood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory definitely may be said to
be on the programme for this session
Of Congress. That the present
provision of the bill passed the
House including New Mexico and
Arizona in a like arrangement will
receive favorable action is not con-
sidered probable.
When the bill passed the House
last spring the understanding was
that the Senate would take it up
during the short session. Senator
Beveridge, chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Territories, is not
arrived at the capital.
Opposition TO the statehood pro-
position sill may be expected nom
some quarters. Senator Beyeridge
is not yet regarded as entirely rec
onciled to it, but friends of the bill
are relying upon the promises made
to them last winter.
Representative Curtis of Kansas,
upon whom falls an important part
Of the work Of the House in Indian
affairs is now in Washington.
81 am confident that the state
hood bill will pass" he declared
today. Next to that, the most
important situation to be met lies
in the formation aud enactment Of
some plan to continue the work of
the Dawes Commission when the
life Of that body expires nextJuly.
| personally think that the most
likely plan is to place the duty of
direction of the task entirely in
the hands of one man. 1t is clear
that the business of the commission
will not have been entirely com
pleted when its lease Of life expires.
