NEGRO TURNING WHITE.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Monmouth, ILL.,, Dec. PAT remains
for Henry Wallace. a full-blooded ne
gro of this city, to furnish an affirma-
tive answer to the scriptural quota
ton questioning the ability of the
Ethiopian to change his skin. For six
years he has been bleaching slowly,
until now one-ffth of his body is as
white as a Caucasian's. Thirty years
hence, if the rate of metamorphosis
keeps up, he expects to be able to
qualify as a white man.
Six years ago Wallace was as black
as prince of Numidia. His complex
ion was of such a midnight hue that
he was known as Coal Hole Henry"
One day he noticed a spot of white
on his forehead and tried to wash it
away, thinking it was mortar. The spot
however, was impervouS to water and
within six months it has spread over
Wallace's entire face. 1t went to his
scalp and turned his hair red and then
gray From his collar up the Sene-
gamhian looks like a distinguished
white man, but his hands are black
He wears gloves always to keep up the
illusion.
White spots have appeared on other
portions of Wallaces body and have
spread until one-fifth his skin is
bleacked to a chalky whiteness. His
arms are still ebony, while his broad
chest is half and half His case is a
puzzle to medical men, and several
skin specialists from Chicago who have
examined him are at a loss to account
for the transformation.
Wallace is 50 years old, and has not
been ill a day in his life, except a
week few years ago, when he was
overcome by the heat. He does not
use alcoholics or tobacco The trans
formation has made a difference in his
disposition and bearing. Since his face
turned white he has refused to work
at odd jobs and insists on being called
a'Mr Wallaca'' hv nther naprnes

NO BOIL wEEvIL REMEDY YET

The report which has been made by
the board of practical farmers, that
was created by the Texas Legislature
to award the $4,000" nrize to the dis
coverer of a remedy 4cr the III weevil
evil, shows that the /. rnat mind
hasn't thus far proved equal to the
task. There were a good many people
who wanted the prize, and some of
them made strenuous efforts to get it,
but the remedy of no one satisfied the
board of hard-headed farmers. The
board didn't regard with favor the
Guatemalan ant, nor any OF the nu-
merous poisons that were recommend
ed.
One conclusion to which the board
came is this: The insect cannot be
reached in a growing crop without de-
stroying the crop. In the course OF

TIE PAPER MONOPOLY.

1t must be a source of grief to that
New York newspaper that has become
widely known for it's bitter war on
trusts, that the government has laid
it's heavy hand first on the General
Paper Company, since that is about
the only great trust the newspaper
in question hasn't attacked. The suit
that has been begun against the Gen.
eral Paper Company is a civil one, and
if it should be successful most of the
companies that are included in it
would be operated as Independent
plants. In that case would paper be
cheaper than it is at present? That
mined offhand.
There is no doubt that the price of
paper, such as newspapers use, has
advanced considerably since the trust
was created. Whether the advance
was due to causes over which the trust
had no control or was arbitrary is
question that will be made clear no
doubt during the trial of the case.
To what extent does the trust con-
troll the timber of this country that
is suitable for paper making purposes?
That is a matter in which there is a
great deal of interest because if the
supply of timber is limited and that
supply is in the hands of those who
control the trust the outlook for cheap
er paper, even if the trust should be
smashed, isn't very promising.
Perhaps Congress can be induced to
take the tariff off of wood pulp. The
supply OF timber fit for paper maxi
ing purposes is practically unlimited
in Canada. 1t is in the power of Con-
gress to say whether or not white pa
per shall be cheaper.
Is it the purpose of the government
to bring suit against the beef trust,
the sugar trust, the steel trust and
other trusts. just as 1t has against
the paper trust? If so, then there is
likely to be lively hustling on the part
Of the trusts in their efforts to cover
their tracks.

AGAIN THE CANTEEN.

There doesn't seem to be much doubt
that the canteen will be put back in
the army, though before it is there
is bound to be a big fight between the
prohibitionists and these who favor it.
1t was abolished after long and
rather bitter fight, and it will not be
restored without a struggle.
The bill which has been introduced
into the House provides for amending
the anti-canteen law. 1t gives the
Secretary of War authority to issue
permit to any post for the establish
ment of a canteen when it is shown
by the officers that temperance, health
and discipline would be promoted by
it. 1t seems the Secretary of War has
sent to Congress a statement that the
abolition of the canteen has increased
drunkenness, disease, insubornation and
desertion and moral and physical de-
generation If it has done all this,
there ought to be no hesitation in re-
storing the canteen. And that it has,
is testified to by all the general Of
ficers in the service except two, and
by practically all the other officers.
In fact, at the posts there has been
an increase of all sorts of offenses
since the canteen was abolished of
about 95 per cent. Even the Inspector
General says that it was a mistake to
abolish it.
AS matter of fact, here in this
section of the country there is ample
evidence that the soldiers would be
better off with the canteen than they
are without it. At Fort Screven sa-
looms have been established within a
stones throw, as it were, of the post,
and it is to be presumed that every
possible effort is made to induce the
soldiers to spend their money in them
for drink. 1t has been found neces-
sary at about all the army posts to
find fault with the manner in which
the nearby saloons are conducted, and
indictments have been found against
them for violating the liquor laws. If
the officers at Fort Screven were ques-
toned 1t is probable they would say they
would much rather have the canteen
so they could control the drinking of
the men and also so they could be sure
that the liquors the men drank were
fairly good.
AS the facts are all against the anti
canteen law, it would seem that the
Prohibitionists, II they oppose the
pending bill, were more anxious to have
their way in the matter than that the
thing best for the soldiers should he
done.

year or two.
OF course the search for a remedy
continues. and there is hope that one
will be found. Those who have had
experience with the weevil do not
share in the belief that the insect
will disappear as other insects that
have attacked the cotton plant have,
but will spread over the entire cotton
belt, If its progress is not arrested.
Assuming their belief is well founded

he got out of it was doubtless worth

Judge Beacon of the Criminal Court
at Cleveland, o., has ordered that
hereafter the doors of his court shall
be closed to all persons who have no
business before the court or a very
good reason for being present. He
said; This court has become a school
for crime. Young men, women and
boys stand here for hours listening to
skillful lawyers defending prisoners
and learning how to evade crime.
Having acquired such information
they become dangerous criminals.
Vice and crime are daily exposed here,
and pleas in extenuation of criminal
acts resulting from vice are made"
Unquestionably Judge Beacon is
right. Criminal courts are too often
the schools for crime and vice. 1t is
impossible to estimate the amount of
harm the Nan Patterson case has
caused.

There is pending in the Senate a

treaty will be strongly combatted.

quired valuable holdings in the Isle of
Pines and they are opposed TO the
domination OF that speck OF territory by
the Cuban government. Cattle. hides
and valuable hardwoods are the prlnci-
pal products OF the little island. The
United States furnish good market
for these things, provided they can be
brought here free Of duty. Should the
ownership OF the island by Cuba be
acknowledged by treaty. the tarlff
would Immediately become operative

pose OF inducing senators 10 vote

necessary that he. become a husband

chap is really to be pitied. He will
never know the keen delight of wooing
and winning that is enjoyed by the
ordinary man. His bride has been
selected for him, and he must take her,
and she him, whether they like each
other or not. There is no sentiment at
tached to the union, except such ficti-
tious sentiment as will be worked
up by the court reporters for forms
sake. The King is cut off from having
sweetheart. whose touch will thrill
his every fiber. He can only have a
finance, selected for him by his mother
and his ministers of state. Is there a
healthy young American who would
change places with him?
