Southern Educational Conference.
The fifth annual conference for
southern education was held at Bir-
mingham, Ala, last week, with every
indication of strength and enthusiasm
regardless of sectional lines. Robert
C. Ogden. who was retained at the
head of the movement, led off with a
plea for the democracy Of education as
the only salvation of the republic
Bishop Galloway of Mississippi testi-
fed that fear and discomfort We're
increasing among the negroes Of the
south. DR.. S. c. Mitchell Of Richmond
said that we were at the forks of the
road and that we must choose between
evolution and revolution. He appealed
to the south to repudiate the policy of
Governor Vardaman. The members of
the conference personally inspected
many Of the southern schools and col
leges which have been established to
give practical training to the negroes.

CIOTHES AND THE MOTH.
Runs FOR Keeping Winter Garments
Saie Through the Summer.

rams TOT Keeping Winter Garments
Safe Through the Summer.
The most effectual way to render q
house moth proof is to give it each re-
curing spring and fall a general and
thorough cleaning. One of the arch
enemies of the moth is cleanliness. An
other is light. This pest like all evil
doers, loves dark haunts and dirt and
hates the sunlight, says writer in
Good Housekeeping.
10 the possessor of a cedar chest or
wardrobe the task of storing clothing
Is comparatively easy one.
Moth balls are considered by many
to be adequate protection if dropped
among stored articles. But on account
OF the disagreeable odor which clings
to garments long after unpacking their
use becomes Objectionable.
All fur garments, rugs and the like
should be safely stored before there
has been heat enough to transform the
chrysalid into the winged insect. The
preliminary step in putting away furs
for the summer is to give them a thor
u,
thereby dislodging any possible torpid
worm or eggs. Then after beating well
and airing sprinkle freely with pulver-
lied gum camphor, cedar dust, toba eco
leaves or anything else highly aromat-
ic, and dispose of the furs in paper
flour sacks of ample size.
Do not tie the openings of the sacks.
but instead turn the edges over and
paste them down with strip of mus
lin When flour sacks are not obtain
able make sacks of newspapers, past
Ing, not sewing, the edges together.
Printers ink is said to be peculiarly
obnoxious to moths and other insects.
Blankets may be safely stored in
such receptacles provided always the
blankets are clean. Indeed too much
stress cannot be laid upon the necessi-
ty for having all stored articles scrupu
lously clean.
The oil of cedar is said to be a sure
preventive against the ravages Of
moths. AS to oil stains, care must be
taken that it does not come in contact
with clothing. To use it, saturate balls
of cotton wadding and drop them in
tightly closed boxes and trunks.

By Bartlett. Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, March 12.-Wheat. The mar ket was very strong, excepting for a slump during the morning on the fore cast for rain or snow over the southwest ern wheat area. Legitimate conditions were the governing factors in the ad- vance. Flour sales at Minneapolis late yesterday and today aggregate 200. GOO bar rels, and millers were buyers of the May option at Duluth, which was taken as confirmatory evidence.
 Yesterdays sales of No. 1 northern here were larger than first reported. The Liverpool market was dull but a strong Odessa cable helped the futures.
 Corn-The corn market was strong, es- pecially the May, which advanced 1Hc from the low point of the morning with scarcely reaction. The strength was the result of the influential buying to which the pit trade rallied on There was a scarcity of news, but such as there was gave no basis for operations As long as this buying of May options con tinues the prices of deferred futures will be dragged up, but there certainly will come time when both the July and Sep tember will prove very profitable sales Liverpool closed h to 4 lower Estimated Monday, 255 cars.
