THE NEGROES OF AFRICA.

The aborigines of Africa are divided
into tribes. They are distinguished by
their physical features as well as BY
certain tribal marks and differences of
dialect. Unity is most impossible on
account of tribal animosities, which
cause constant feuds that make seri-
ousIy against the prosperity and
growth of the country. Continual tribal
wars in the interior have resulted in
the depopulation Of whole sections and
in the determination of thousands of
families. Africa is the most thinly
populated of the continents, there he

THE WAR ON CONSUMPTION.

Il The Cincinnati Enquirer notes that
the death rate per 1000 OF the
population of the United States was
1876 in 1890, and ten years later it was
II7.S. This decrease was due in a con-
sldera BILE measure TO the fact that the
mortality from consumption is steadily
Iessening year by year. The average
| death rate of consumption for each
| 100000 of population of the Middle
states was in 1880, 259; in 1900 234; in
the Lake states in 1890 it was 156; in
1900. 142: in the Southern states in 1890
it was 277: in 1900 252; and in the West
ern Central states in 1890, 1S3; in 1900.

There is no question that tuberculosis
has been the greatest scourge of man
kind in ali ages of the world. No coun-

other lethaI agent. Among the gent |
uses and great men who have died from |
this disease were: Maria CONSTANT

Cuyler Bunner, Frederick Chopin.

EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES WAS COMPLETED
TRIAL.

The Harris family felt consider
ably encouraged today and by their
actions they showed that they were
in better spirits than at any time
during the trial. Old friends had not
forsaken them. They responded in
large numbers to aid the family
which is in such sore distress. Moth
ing but words of praise have been
heard on every hand. No one who
has known the Harris family has
known aught but good. They went
in the best circles In Yakima. Their
home was ideal and happy except
for the frequent occurrences Of Mrs.
Harris attacks Of illness. The
daughter was popular member of
the younger set. She was idolized
by her mother. Her father and
brothers were proud Of her.
The father and eldest son swore
vengeance upon the fiend who had
crept into the home and stealthily
and consciously stolen from the
daughter and sister her most precious
birthright. The father shows the
metal he is made of. For years he
has fought against the Idea of in
sanity In his wife. He loved her
and as the mother of his children
he must try to overcome 1t. He never
complained of her demeanor toward
him, which at times worried and
pierced his heart as two-edged
sword. He must protect her and
her conduct could not be made pub
lic For IL years his happiness has
been married by the periodical at
tacks of his companion which re-
suited in an utter breaking down of
her health leading up to the time
of the crime.
Examination OF Witnesses.
This mornings session Of the Har-
ris trial consisted in the examine
ton of Dan r. Harris. Pearl Harris,
Mrs. r. ]. Bowman, Conductor Doak
of the Traction Car company. Aaron
Cheetham. DIR. s. b, Hopkins, ear,
eye. nose and throat specialist, and
\ DIR. d. L. Smith, coroner.
In most part witnesses were called
to testify as to the condition of Mrs.
Harris health, which corroborated
the statements made by neighbors
and friends.
A novel feature Of the trial Is the
call of the defense for severol of
the states witnesses. Coroner Smith
was the first of the states witnesses
to be recalled. He said he thought
the woman was insane from the ac-
lions he noticed while talking to her
10 minutes.
Pearl Harris ON Stand.
There was expectancy written on
every face in the courtroom when
Pearl Harris was conducted to the
