We will remain here. Whatever prob

We will remain here. Whatever prob
lens grow out of our presence will
have to be worked out between the
white race and ours. 1 believe that
there is common sense enough among
the American people and fairness
enough to enable the two races to live
side by side and work out our destiny.
What the colored people want to do
is to get little piece of land, build a
cottage and educate the children. Keen
away from the cities unless drawn
there for some special advantage. Ru-
raj life is best for negroes. There is
no race line in the labor market in the
south. White men and colored men
work together at the same branches.
What the negro should do is to catch
up with the white man. When we
catch up with the American white man,
there will be no one ahead of u.s.

Would Bar Liquor.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 13.-The
Blanton pure-food bill, which has
passed the house and is onw on its
way to consideration in the senate, is
probably one of the most far-reaching
measures ever considered by a legisla-
ture, should it's provisions BIT carried
out
The bin, in short, would stop the
shipping of all case goods, either
whisky or beer, into Texas from ST.
Louis, or any other big brewery or
distillery point. 1t would require the
examination of each package shipped
into the state, which would necessitate
the opening of each bottle of whiskey
or beer, and would practically put such
industries out of business here.
There are several other similar pro-
visions in the bill regarding other COM
modities, and, as one member put it
today: there are eighty-three Sec
lions to the bill, and just about that
number of peculiar provisions
1t is believed that the bill will meet
with a spirited fight in the Seattle as
it is said to have passed the house
without many members being ac-
quainted with it's provisions.

trust fund, with Charlotte Carpen-
ter as the beneficiary.
Those in the best position to know
the facts, state that the amount of
this trust is 100000 and that its GUS
todian is New York trust company.
1t is equally sure that the Oliver ex-
with which Mrs. Kingsley's lawyer
is now settling all the legitimate debts
of the woman, whose claim has so
greatly impressed them.
These debts, in the aggregate, will
foot up close to 100000, for Mrs.
Kingsley Carpenter has lived with
prodigal extravaganza. Not only did
she squander every dollar of the
princely allowance given her for years
by oliver, but she borrowed right and
left. among the women of her ac-
ouaintance and ran up colossal bills
with scores of tradesmen.
Mrs. Kingsley is now living in
handsome cottage in New Rochelle, N.
Y, which she rents. She makes no
friends, sees no visitors and lives be-
mind closed and carefully guarded
doors with the child Charlotte, ne
gro nurse and small staff Of house
hold servants.
There is another inmate of the house
Police Sergeant John F. Tappin.
For wears ne has been her intimate
friend, and neighbOrs say he is now
Mrs. Kingsley's husband.

WOMAN SHARES IN MILLIONS.
Funeral of Steel Magnate Guarded, but
Estate Yields Wealth to Child.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Henry w.
oliver died at Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. Z,
1904, leaving a fortune variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to $4,000, 900.
The funeral was attended by the finan-
cial generals and political leaders of
the country.
Only a few keen observers in this
vast company of mourners noticed that
every door of the church was guarded
by silent, vigilant men, who closely
inspected every applicant for admis-
sion. Equally vigilant watchers guard
ed every approach to the dead million
aires palatial home in Allegheny City.
1t is only now that the facts have be-
came known. The vigilant men were
detectives and their sole business was
to prevent an invasion Of the church
or of the dead millionaire's home by
Mrs. Margaret L. Kingsley, or Mrs. A.
C. Carpenter, as she sometimes pre-
fers to be known, who, twelve years
ago, was a stenographer, employed at
the Fifth avenue Motel in this city,
where Oliver met her for the first
time.
Woman's Colossal Claim.
Almost before divers body was laid
in the grave Mrs. Kingsley, or Car
penter, opened her campaign, making
a colossal claim upon the Oliver estate.
There is good reason to believe that
this claim was for 100000, and that
a substantial compromise, made by the
executors of the Oliver estate, has
alone averted a lawsuit.
Mrs. Kingsley Carpenter has one
child, a daughter years, born in this
city and bearing the names of Char
lotte Carpenter. Mrs. Kingsley-Car
renter claims the dead millionaire is
the father of this child and the de-
stroyer Of her happiness.
There is no doubt that Henry W.
oliver contemplated making certain
modest provision for the woman's
support, and that just before his death
he confidentially instructed mis- lawyers
to buy a home for her.
It was this certain knowledge of
close relationship between Mr.. Oliver
and Mrs. Kingsley Carpenter that
threw the executors into CONSERVATION.
Within two weeks of the woman's first
move q small army OF detectives had
gathered evidence tending to show
that the charge of betrayal against the
dead millionaire was absolutely false
and that the paternity Of the child.

 R. E. Nixon, manager of the Hotel Northern, Seattle, received communi cation from John J, Jolly, formerly chief of police at Nome, but who is now at Fairbanks, giving an account of his arrival at that place and of the con- ditions that now prevail He says that there is but little money in the town now, but that cleanup of several millions is expected when the water commences to run. His letter follows in part: q arrived here from Valdez on February B. Came in over the trail with two dogs. Had pretty fair trip, making it in twenty days. Would have made it much quicker, but overfows on the river kept me back. The camp is quiet now, and has been so all winter. It is picking up little every day, and will probably be all right in few weeks more. Money is scarce and nearly everyone is flat broke. No work is to be had around town, and prices of everything are as high as in the early Dawson days. I have not done anything since arriving, but will prob get at something before long. There has been a good deal of mining done on Fairbanks and Cleary creeks, and big dumps are waiting to be washed up when the water commences to run. It may be that there will be a shortage of water, as there is very little snow on the ground, and if so, many of the miners and laymen will be disappoint- ed. Most of the work has been done on bedrock, and nothing but a good cleanup will make things good. Most of the claims have been worked on 50 per cent. lays, and on account of the expense for materials and supplies, may leave very little for the laymen. The claims are thought, however, to be very rich, and large cleanup is ex- pected, probably from s30Oo000 to S4, 100000. The town is rapidly being built up into city, and next summer will be larger than Nome. People have been coming in over the trails all win ter from Valdez, Dawson and Nome, and there are now about 4,000 here in town, and about as many more in the district adjacent. We hear that a large crowd is coming up from the states upon the opening of navigation, and if so, it is hard to see just now what they are all going to do. Lots of building is going on now, mostly on jaw bone, and the business section con- tains many nice saloons and business blocks. A big crowd of sporting people are here already. Most of them are flat broke, and are to be seen at every turn, wild eyed and hungry, looking for the live ones as they arrive"

It isreported that there has been ten feet of snow at Nome and vicinity this winter. In that case the water supply will be far above expectations and will result in work opening up at an early date. Last season there were only forty.fiv working days, when there should have been 130. The men were on the ground, but the operators could not offer them employment on account of the water shortage.
 Dan McGinnis is the name of the man found dead near the TwentysiX- mile roadhouse below Fortymile about a month ago. McGinnis went to Eagle from Dawson last fall.

Evidently he was lost in a storm and was frozen when found.

 A new channel has been cut in the Tanana river eight miles above Chenoa, probably by the ice piling up debris across the mouth of the old channel. AS a result both Chenoa and Fairbanks are cut off from river communication and, as the dispatch conveying the in- formation states, they have become practically inland towns. River steam CTS moored at Chenoa are now high and dry, while the river has entirely deserted the town and it is left far away from it's banks.
 Senator Money tells a story of the tribute Mississippi minister recently paid to the press. The town in which his parish was located had been visited within a short space of time by several catastrophes, all of which with harrow ing details, had been duly exploited in the local papers. The clergyman was moved to make the misfortunes of his townsmen a subject of prayer. He knelt in the presence of his congrega- tion and began fervently: "Oh, Lord, doubtless thou hast learned through the papers of our recent and grave aftlictions."
 A teacher in the public school relat- ing her experiences with precocious pupils said: q was attempting to intro duce to one of my classes the mysteries of substraction the other day, and was explaining that the thing substracted must be of the same denomination as the thing subtracted from.
