BOOKER TO HIS RACE.
He Regs Them TO Disappoint People
Who Have Prophesied That They
Would Lose Their Heads.
(By the Associated Press. }

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 14.-In an
address to the colored citizens deliv-
cred here tonight Booker Washington
said:
Not a few have predicted that on
account of the recent election many
members of our race would lose their
heads, would become unduly POM
pous, self-assertive, and generally Of
fensive With all the earnestness that
l can command, | want to urge our
people in every part of the country
to disappoint those who have made
such predictions by leading a life of
increased usefulness. soberness and
simplicity. remembering, as | have
often exhorted beofre, that in the long
run it to the certain and fundament-
al ideas of growth in property, intel
ligence and high Christian character,
friendly relations without neighbors
of all races, that we must look for
our ultimate success.
."The masses of our peaople are to
dwell for all time here in the South,
and here il is that our destiny must
be worked out and we can only sue
ceed when we have the confidence
and cooperation of those about us. :"

FRANCE BREAKS THE CONCORD
So Declares the Pope After a Brief
History OF the Argument.
(By the Associated Press. }

Rome, Nov lathe second consis-
tory of the pontificate of Pope Plus
X at which the postulation of the
pallium for three American archbish-
ops occurred and ten American bish-
ops were proclaimed took place this
morning. The ceremony was shadowed
by the death in the apostolic palace
of Cardinal Mocenni, while the func-
tion was in progress.
In the secret coisiStory the Pope
delivered an allocution recalling the
origin of the concordat and the rea-
sons which induced Pope Plus VII
to conclude it with Napoleon especial
ly referring to the provisions made
for the appointment of bishops, the
budget of the ministry of public Wor-
ship, which was regulated by what
was practically contract and finally
the free exercise of Catholic worship.
He added that the so-called "organic
articles" added in 1902 by Napoleon,
had never been recognized by the
Holy See, either as law or as being
part of the concordat Therefore the
Pontiff deplored that fact that the
present government of the French re-
charged the Holy See with not having
observed the concordat, adding that
the church had never in the case of
any country iSfringed an agreement
made. The Pope concluded with say
ing that the French government had
broken the fundamental conditions
of the concordat, a proceeding which
was not only in violation of the con-
cordat but which was also opposed to
divine and natural law. The Pope
complained of the impossibility due
to the existing state of affairs, of ap-
pointing bishops to the vacant sees in
France, but expressed the hope that
an understanding would be reached.
The majority of the cardinals present
considered the allusion rather mild
and remarked that the Pope omitted
the part regarding which he previous
ly had consulted several of the Car
dinals, in which he was TO have urged
the people of France to use their
rights as citizens to prevent the gov
ernment from prosecuting their reli-
gion.

Washington. Nov. IL" Russia VIII
pursue the war i'm the Far East to
the bitter end-that is until Russia
has conquered
These are the opening words OF an
emphatic statement made at the Rus
sian Embassy today by Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador.
The statement continues:
Il deem it my duty to reiterate
what / have so often said, that Rus
STA will not suspend in any case her
military operations i'm the Far East.
All rumors and reports regarding the
possible success of the direct over
lures for peace. which Japan is said
to have made to Russia. and regarding
the mediation of the powers, are, in
my opinion, started for the purpose
of convincing the public that thu end
of the war is close at hand. In this
way it is hoped that the public may
be led to believe that japanese loans
offer attractive investments.
Russia can no more admit of inter-
ference than Great Britain could in
the Transvaal or than could the Uni
ted States in her war with Spain.
Where the prestige of a country is
at stake all other considea rtionS are
anu IHuSl pe put dSluc. OoHle peo-
pie may think that financial difficult
ties will influence Russia to end hos
tilities Such an opinion is based on
the false assumption of RuSsia'S finan-
ciai resources. There is no doubt
whatever that Russia whose annual
income exceeds one million of dol
lars cannot be Influenced in her at
titude toward the outcome of the war
by the amount of war expenditures
Is it not altogether out of the question
that Russia, who did not expect war
should, in the moment when she has
modified her army and is sending
corps after corps in fighting readi-
ness to the Far East, suddenly cal
halt on hostilities, particularly af-
ter she has for nearly year. withou
any difficulty or recourse to extra.

Nine Years in the Ground.

Sam Booher has watch with his
tory. Ten years ago, while on the farm
of d. +. Mansfield near town, he was
carrying nickel, open face Elgin
watch and lost it. A year later Mr..
Mansfield plowed the watch up in his
garden, and Sam in the meantime hav-
ing purchased another, allowed Uncle
Frank to carry the one found. BY some
chance he also lost the watch in few
days. That was years ago last spring.
Now comes the funny part Of the story.
Arthur Scott has the Mansfield place
rented. and while plowing corn recently
he again unearthed the selfsame old
nickel watch, now blackened by long
contact with the ground. Mr.. Scott
wound the time piece which began mer-
rily ticking and is now keeping good
time, none the worse for its long sleep
In the bosom OF mother earth. Sam
again has possession of his watch and
wouldn't exchange it for one of much
greater intrinsic value. 1t is positively
identified by leathern strap studded
with nail heads, which Mr.. Booher him
self attached to it ten years ago.
