Negroes and CRIME.

We presume from observation, although
we have not actual figures to prove the
assumption, that more than half of all the
persons who go before courts in Salem
county, charged with crime, are negroes
and this in the face of the fact that the
percentage of colored population is very
small.
In Philadelphia, with colored popula-
tion numbering 20, 900, or twenty per cent
of the whole population, four-fifths of the
criminals awaiting trial are colored. OF
the eight murders under sentence in Moy-
amensing prison five are negroes Recent
records in Philadelphia show nine-tenths of
the highway robberies TO have been COM
mitted by blacks and more than seven
tenths of the assault and homicide cases
were committed by men of color.
There seems to be no getting away from
the revelation that crime is more COM
mon among negroes than among either
the native or foreign born whites who
make up our population.

The Trusts Stand Pat.

Mr.. w. S. P. Shields, who was yesterday
interviewed by an esteemed evening CON
temporary, declares that 'the talk of the
moneyed powers and Trusts being against
President Roosevelt is but idle gossip or
threats on the part Of some of that class. /
say this plainly for the reason that no great
fortune or combination of fortunes, which
form Trusts, would attempt great enterprise
except under the unassailable safeguard oil
the Republican party.
Mr.. Shields deserves credit for his frank
ness. He gives the lie direct to the scribblers
in Republican sheets who desire to create
the impression that the Trusts have un-
gratefully turned against the party that
has nursed them from infancy to monstrous
maturity.

WELL TO REMEMBER.
How Old Mattresses May be Made
Over at Home.

Perhaps all housekeepers do not know
that old mattresses can be made over
to be almost as good as new, says a
writer in the Christian Work and Evan
gelist. If they are filed with moss,
! hair or cotton they can be renovated
nicely. but the excelsior and other
cheap filings must be thrown away.
After emptying the contents of the
tick through ripped seam in the mid
die of the top the dust should be thor
oughiy shaken from the filing. Cot
ton may be laid on a flat surface-the
porch floor is a good place-and whip
ped with timber stick to raise the
dust, then well shaken. This treat
ment also lightens the fiber of the cot
ton and is good for hair and moss.
Moss is much better for a good wash
ing if very dusty. Use a tub of tepid
suds. Plunge some of the moss in and
swash it around awhile, then wiring
through a wringer into a tub of clear
water. After rinsing it is wrung again
and spread on the grass to dry in the
hot sun. 1t should be turned and shak-
en- a few times while drying Either
moss, hair or cotton should be pulled
apart until perfectly light before re-
turning it to the tick.
The tick should be well washed and
boiled if necessary, then starched on
the inside and well straightened out
before drying. as it is difficult to iron
it very well. In stuffing the mattress
spread it on a clean floor and fill the
corners first, then the ends, and so un-
til the middle is reached. Be sure to
have it very full in the middle, where
the most wear will come, else there
will soon be very uncomfortable val
leys in the bed Sew up the seam in
the top and proceed to tack the mat
tress, using a long needle and stout
twine. Put small pieces of cloth on
the twine at each side of the mattress
to prevent the twine breaking through
the tick.
After the first row of tacking around
the edge of the mattress it can be
raised upon chairs or a slat bed to make
the work easier. 1t is hard work, but
If one has more time than money it will
pay to renoyate the old mattresses,
as they are so much more comfortable
when finished

How to Freshen Kid slippers.

White or coIored kid slippers often
become shabby in appearance because
the kid has been peeled off the heels.
If the slippers are otherwise in good
condition the heels can be made to
look like new by cutting from the top
of an old glove of the same color a
piece of kid large enough to stretch
and paste about the heel. The upper
edge can be securely pushed under the
sole of the shoe and neatly trimmed at
the bottom. If not worn until perfect
ly dry the result is most satisfactory

Robert Emory Pattison, twice Governor
of Pennsylvania, died at his home in Over
brook at 6.25 o'clock last Monday after an
illness Of single week of pneumonia. The
funeral was held this morning at eleven
o'clock. Mr.. Pattison was only 81 years
old, man Of great physical strength, and
his death came as a great shock to the
country. He was one of the leaders in the
late st. Louis Convention, and it is thought
to his labors there can be traced the cause
of his death. Philadelphia and Pennsyl-
vania has lost one of her foremost citizens,
and the Democracy of that State and the
nation one Of its purest and ablest expon-
ents.

How to Clean Wells.

Referring again to the fashionable
white lace wells, perhaps some of you
may like to have a few hints as to
how they may be cleaned at home,
for the process is by no means difficult
says writer in Paris Fashions. Put
good sized piece of soap in a basin
of boiling water and make thick
lather. Have the lace rolled round a
bottle or glass plaque, and put this
into the suds. Let it soak for half an
hour at least. If very much soiled, the
lace may be left in great deal longer
Then put it into a fresh hot lather and
afterward rinse it thoroughly in cold
water. When the veil is spotless spread
it out to dry on clean cloth, pulling
it gently into shape. When dry, stiffen
it by dipping it into little gum water
Nalf an ounce of gum arabic to a
quart of water), then press it while
still damp, having pulled it out nicely
each way to keep it in the right shape

each other when once mated? 1t can
hardly be by sight alone, for there is
no apparent difference in appearance
in members of the same species. Do
birds have an individuality like human
beings by which they can be identified,
or is recognition secured by means Of
some difference in voice, or is there
something connected with the fine in
