He was sentenced in 1900 to term OF
fifteen years for killing James Stew

guilty of voluntary manslaughter.
Efforts have been on foot to secure
the pardon of Reed. 1t is urged that
he killed the negro while in the heat
of passion; that he bore fine reputa-
ton: that he is a good man; that his
conduct since incarceration has been
exemplary.
But Governor Terrell reasoned that
the prisoner had been given a fair
aud impartial trial by twelve OF his
countrymen; that he was convicted for
taking the life of a fellow man; that
Recommendation had already been
made to punish him for manslaughter
And the pardon was not issued.

War Of Lovers on Mosquitoes.

Driven to desperation by the pros
pect of an unusual crop Of mosquitoes,
the Leap Year Girls club of Beverly,
Mass, has taken the initiative in open
warfare on that pest, says a Boston
special to the New York Times. The
most prolific breeding spots, two
ponds, are to be treated to a coat OF
coal oil. These places are ideal spots
for moonlight strolls. Last summer
Lovers lane was developing breed
of mosquitoes which made Beverly a
close rival for all the honors bestowed
on New Jersey. All this will be stopped
this year. At least that is what the
Leap Year Girls club says.

UNJUST TO NEGROES.
Chicago Complains There Are Too
MANY of Them in That City.

A dispatch from Chicago conveys the
intelligence that there are too many
negroes in that city, although their
number is given as only 1000. Some
years ago plenty of money could be
raised there for negro education, &C
cording to a speaker quoted who Is In
this business, but now the purse strings
are tightly drawn, a revulsion OF feel
ing having been caused since the
green, unsubstantial, ignorant herd OF
brutes from the south came yelping up
to Chicago, where they have free bars,
free street cars, free hotels, where
they can go where they please and
talk as thew please"
It has been shown by statistics, and
the fact frequently commented on, that
there is more than twice as much
crime among northern-bo born as among
southern born negroes in proportion to
population. 1t has also been frequently
asserted that the southern negroes
now in service in the north are better
hammered than their native cousins
Yet the negro immigrants from the
south are constantly blamed for the
race troubles in the north and for the
attitude of growing hostility among
the northern whites.

HARvARD's ROWING MARVEL
Eliot Farley Is Lame, but Strokes the
CrimsOn'S Freshman Crew.

Harvard has an aquatic marvel, says
Cambridge (Mass) special to the
New York World. His name is Eliot
Farley. and despite the fact that one
leg is shorter than the other and that
he also has a twisted foot he is strok-
ing the freshman crew. Farley Is
brother of Mike Farley, the 1902 Grim
son football coach and captain of the
crew at Annapolis this year.
Last year he rowed stroke not only
ON his preparatory school crew at
Volkmanns but also on the all schol-
astic crew sent from Boston to Ph1la-
delphia. He weighs 100 pounds and
but for his legs has a splendid devel-
opment. This came in part as the re-
suit of his wheeling himself about in
chair during his younger days.
Farley is rowing in fine form just
now and stands a good chance of strok-
ing the 1907 youngsters when they
meet Yale later on the Thames.

JAPANESE LOVE OF BATHS
Everybody In Land of Chrysan-
them4m Likes to Be Clean.

From time immemorial the bathtuo
has been an honorable institution IN
Japan, says Modern Society. instead
of cold dip in the morning the Japs
take their baths hot in the afternoon
at about 3 o'clock, and, beginning at
100 degrees, the tendency is to raise
the temperature as one becomes accli-
mated, so to speak. One traveller tells
of the Kawarayu bathers, who stay in
the tub for several weeks at time
with stones in their laps to keep their
bodies from floating while they are
asleep.
The usual thing is to have the tub on
the lawn with a charcoal fire beneath
it, so that one can get into the water
at 80 degrees and sit in it until it
reaches 100 degrees. At this point
griffin" which is to say a neWchum
a greenhorn or a tenderfoOt, usually
has to get out, for it becomes literally
two of practice he can manage 115 or
100 degrees. The Japs themselves can
enjoy a bath even at 128 degrees.
A traveller tells an amusing tale Of
how he visited a japanese friend on an
at home day and accepted the offer of
a bath on the lawn. He got in when
the water was tepid and enjoyed it i'm
mensely up to ninety something. Just
as he was thinking of getting out his
friends wife and daughter put in an
appearance and began to wash rice at
Il we'll near by. Now, the regulation
bathing dress Of Japan is like foot
less stocking without leg or a bung-
aole without barrel round it, and our
traveller hadn't it with him at the time.
He endured another five degrees, and
then, with death by boiling staring
him in the face, he was forced out
with an involuntary yell that attracted
much attention.
The fact is that in Japan everybody
bathes in puris naturalibus. 1t is their
way, and it is not till a European has
lived among them for years that he or
she realizes that after all there is moth
ing very terrible about it.
