NEGROES AND THE NAVY
ON THE SAME FOOTING WITH
 THE WHITES.
Reported Interview of Lieutenant Boyd in New Orleans will be Looked Int by Score
 tary Moody. T.ra
!. Advertiser Bureau.
 Colorado Building,


 Colorado Building,
 Washington, April 20. Secretary Moody's attention was called today to a special press dispatch from New Orleans saying that Lieutenant D. F. Boyd of the navy, who is there on re- cruiting duty, had informed twenty ne- gro applicants that no negroes were be- ing received for the navy. ~ MT. Moody said that he believed there must be some mistake about the dispatch. as negroes were enllsting all the time, and the rule of the navy was that negroes and whites were on the same footing as regards enlistment the difference in race having nothing to do with 1t.
 Rear Admiral Taylor. chief of the Bu- reau of Navigation. which has Jurisdic- tion of this whole subject, said that not only was there no law to sanction such d distinction as the dispatch referred to, but every officer assigned to recruiting duty in the Southern States was specifi- caliy instructed that no race discrimina- ton could be permitted, and that, if lo- cal conditions anywhere were such as 10 confine recruiting to an undesirable class of men. the station would simply be clos ed. and the officer sent to some other point.
 All new recruits are required to be able to read, and when a negro applies and dn OpSu poOk idtu DSAOTe mn TcNCdis HIS ignorance. he is rejected, just as a white man of the same sort would be. This rule often operates in the South against negroes, where their mere color would not affect their right to get into the ser- vice.
 Lieutenant Boyd is a native of Louis!- ana and was appointed from Alabama. Inquiry will be made through official channels as to what he has said. If any thing, to give rise to the report tele- graphed from New Orleans If 1t should be found that he has been trascending in- structlon from the Government he would, of course, be a subject for discipline.

Cat ADOPTED Orphan Cons.

Colonel l.. L. Hawkins recently s Q
cured q. new prize for his collection
of weird and wonderful exhibits ct the
doughty Colonel has excelled himself
in his latest acquisition, and if one
desires to lei such a bizarre thing as
q pussy cat mothering a litter OF
young raccoons he may be gratifed at
the city hall. All previous happy fam
lily records have been broken by an
old mother cat rejoicing in a family
Of two baby coons and her own proper
kitten, which Colonel Hawkins Sc
cured at Beaverton and has now COM
fortably installed at the puseum.
A few days ago some boys killed
a female cco neal Beaverton, and
upon beating the bush discovered her
nest with four little ones in it clamor-
ing for their mother. The baby coons
were taken to the home Of Mrs. B. L.
Grif1tts, near by, where a cat was
rearing a family of four kittens. The
kittens were given to another feline
in which the maternal instinct was
strong, and the little coons substitu-
| ted without protest from the mother.
In a short time two of the little wild
kittens died, but the other pair thrived
in their new environment, and the
| story of the cat with the coon family
| became something Of a sensation in
| the neighborhood.
Colonel Hawkins heard of it and
made the twenty mile drive out and
back for the purpose of bringing the
wonder to Portland. Mrs. Grif1tts
fnally consented to lend the family
to the museum, and as an evidence OF
| good faith one of the kittens was
| brought along with the little coons
to complete the picture Of mixed do
mesticity.-Portland Oregonian.

Stability of Mountain RANGES.

At the recent gathering of the AS
ISOLATION of Academies, Sir A. Geikie
moved a resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted in favor Of interna-
tional cooperation in the effort to
obtain Precise determination OF
levels in mountain chains subject to
earthquakes, with the view of ascer-
tanning whether snch chains are sta
Bile, or are undergoing movements
of deviation or depression" Another
proposal aimed to sc u measure
ments of the value of gravity, with
the object, so far as geological quss-
lions are concerned, of throwing light
on the internal distribution of masses
in the earth and IN the rightly or
isotasy Of the terrestrial rus These
problems call for minute and rigorous
observation. In this way it is believed
about the City of New Y1rk has been
subsiding since 1875 at the rate Of
about Las #. .(nearly 17h in.) per
century. Posterity a thousand years
hence will have a right to know not
merely how high Etna or Vesuvius
was in 1904, but what were the eleva-
ton and appearance of Beachy Head;
how much the old rock has lost by
waste of the sea at it's foot, or by
denuding rains on it's summit and
TANKS; or how much it may have
gained by uplifting forces. They will
know these things in 1904, just as they
will know how the stars and nebulae
are distributed on our skies, and the
knowledge will be very helpful to the
future astronomers and biologists. In
these matter photography, as the
handmade of research, can render
easily and cheaply incompatible ser
vices.-London Telegraph.

What True Love Is.

Sincere, serious love is never love at
first sight.
When one look-and the first one,
too-binds a man and woman, you may
be sure that n single word will
soon be sufficient co unbind them.
Lasting love COMES slowly, progress.
sively.
Beauty is not the mother of love.
On the contrary, it is often love which
e%ngenders beauty-gives brilliancy to
the eyes, gracefulness to the body, vi
bration to the voice.
The face, which reflects all the in
ner sentiments of the heart, betrays
the love Of its owner, and is beautiful.
Absence is a tonic for love only
when men and women love with all
their heart and soul. When they do
not, the ancient proverb is still true:
Far from the eyes, far from the
keart."-Max ORell.

New Varieties of Fruit.

In a great majority of cases, new
varieties of tomatoes, as of other
fruits, are not "produced;" they are
rather discovered, says a writer in
Country Life in America. One finds
a new form in his garden and propa-
gates it. Some of the new forms will
not propagate themselves readily from
seed, whereas others will 'come true"
to a greater or less extent. Now and
then a man sets out to produce a def
mite variety. Just what mea he
shall employ will depend entirely upon
the character of the particular prob
lem. The peach-tomato. for instance,
like many others. was probably a
