a call for school suppIies

J. H Gilmer, president of the Teachers
summer school, Sunshine branch, of
Stuart, Va, has been most faithful in re-
porting regularly the work done in his
state. Besides this he has sent in 81 as
dues. Mrs. Gilmer, the secretary, gives
the following interesting report:
II will write something about Patrick
county, va. 1t is true that we have
many poor people, yet am thankful to
say that every one can find food to eat and
plain clothes to. wear, If they are willing
to work. Of course we have some few
cases where sickness or some misfortune
makes them stand in need of present help.
Land is cheap and can be bought on easy
terms. The public free schools continue
five months in the year.
If you wish to do our folks real and
lasting good, money to improve the
school rooms, good books, maps and charts
should be sent. It would help both races
# some money could be sent here to pay
spend two or three months each year in
the teachers institute. We have two such
schools for the improvement of teachers
in this country, one for each race, and
these schools have a hard struggle to live.
The pay of the. public school teacher is
small. only SIS to $22 per month, and
sometimes the teacher must buy wood,
maps globes, crayon and board herself
out of that small amount.
We need books that will teach our peo-
date papers on the above subjects would
be welcome. The water is good and air
pure. We are near the Blue Ridge noun
tains. We cry only for more books and
schools. Yours truly,
Mrs j. H. Gilmer,
Secretary Sunshine Teachers Summer
School Branch.
Loving My Neighbor
If I should see
A brother languishing in sore distress.
And should turn and leave him COM
fortress,
When might be
A messenger of hope and happiness
How could ask to have what desired,
In my own hour of bitterness supplied?
If I might sing
A little song to cheer fainting heart
And should seal my lips and sit apart,
When 1 might bring
bit of sunshine for ife's ache and
How could hope to have my grief re-
If kept silent when my brother grieved?
And so know
That day is lost wherein failed to lend
A helping hand to some wayfaring friend.
But if it show
A burden lightened by the cheer send,
Then do hold the golden hour well spent,
And lay me down to sleep in sweet con-
tent.

seIf-sacrifIce

Self sacrifice is never the real thing
until self is forgotten, clean and clear, in
loving thought for others. So long as
thought of self enters into it, it is mixed
motive. not singleminded one. When
we are noticing our own self-denial, it is
not self-deniaI, but seff-approva1. When
we do a service-no matter how hard
for another, with the thought Of our own
sacrifice uppermost, instead of the thought
unselhsh, though we may believe so. Self
forgetting sympathy for others, self-ef-
facing eagerness to help others-these are.
the signs of that true self-sacrifice that
follows in the footsteps of Christ.

BALFOUR MAY HAVE
JOINED IN COMPACT
Liberals Believe He Has
Made an Agreement With
Chamberlain.

LONDON, May 24.-Fhe Liberal vote
of censure on the Balfour Ministry for
it's statements on the subject of colonial
preference will be moved by Sir Ed
ward Grey. The resolution will be
drawn in moderate terms and will ex-
press the regret of the opposition at
the conflicting statements made by the
Ministers and will maintain that the
electors of the country should. be given
the opportunity of voting on the ques-
tion of preferential taxation of food be
fore the colonial conference is held.
Lord Hugh Cecil, leader of the con-
servative free traders. has given notice
that he will ask a series of questions
with the view of eliciting information
as to the attitude of Balfour regarding
the colonial conference.
It is alleged by the Liberals that the
Premiers change of attitude is the out
come of compact entered into between
him and Joseph Chamberlain. the latter
consenting to the postponement of a
general election on condition that the
Premier permit the colonial conference
to discuss the. question OF preferential
duties before the Government seeks the

Former Minister to China

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Diplomat Believes Merchants
Will Place No Ban on the

Special Dispatch to The Call.


LEAvENWORTH. Kans., May "a
Edwin Conger, former Minister to
China. is visiting his daughter and
granddaughter at the fort here. Con-
ger is on his way to his new post in
Mexico and will go direct from Leaven-
worth to the City of Mexico in short
time.
''The talk of the Chinese merchants
retaliating against the exclusion law
by boycotting Amcrican-made goods is
amusing to me-" said Conger this after
noon.
'Of course, you know how American
politics are run. Well, the Chinese were
politicians before America was dis
covered and they probably know more
tricks than their American brethren.
While much of this agitation and talk
has occurred since / left China. there
was some prior to that. At these mass
meetings of merchants, as they were
called, there was liberal sprinkling Of
politicians and possibly one or two
merchants had been rung in. The poll
ticians did most of the talking and then
the news was spread broadcast that the
merchants would boycott American
goods.
81 believe that the truth of the mat
ter is that the Chinese merchants have
no idea of boycotting American goods.
They snre In business to make money,
and, IL American goods are demanded,
American goods Will be handled. There
Is a great difference between the mer-
chants OF China and the coolies, and 1T
Is the coolies that are affected most by
this exclusion law. These merchants
are not bothering their head about 1t,
for the coolies are beneath their atten-
tIon."

BAkU, Caucasia, May 24.-The Gov
ernor of Baku, Prince Nakachidze, was
assnssinated Mt o'clock to-day by
means of bomb which was thrown at
his carriage. A lieutenant who was ac-

severely injured by the explosion of a
bomb at midnight. He was sitting on
the veranda of club when an. un-
known man approached and hurled a
bomb at him. The missile fell short,
but exploded near enough to the Chief
or Police for fragments to injure him
seriously Three other persons were
injured. The man who threw the bomb
escaped.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 25.-Though
no details of the assassination of
Prince Nakachidze, Governor of Baku,
have been received, the impression here
is that the outrage was the work of
the Armenian revolutionary committee
in revenge for the attitude taken by
the Prince during the racial war be-
tween Armenians and Tartars in Feb
ruary last, and is not attributable to
the Russian terrorists, even though the
latter are at present extremely active
In many parts of the empire.
The Armenians laid the responsibility
for the deaths of those slain in Febru-
AIRY at the door of Prince Nakachidze
and only yesterday suit was begun
against the Prince before the Senate
tribunal in st. Petersburg in behalf of
the children of Lalaieff. a Baku mil
lionaire, whose house was stornled and
burned and himself. his wife and par
ents killed during the riots. In the
suit damages to the amount of $12,500
were claimed. it being maintained that
the Governor. instead of performing
his duty by stopping the massacre, ac-
tually melted the Tartars to attack the
Armenians.
Prince Nakachidze was popular
among the Russian element in the
Caucasus. He was a man of high
spirit, and In spite of the hatred of the
powerful Armenian revolutionary COM
mittee. he disdained military protec-
ton and appeared on the streets, .unat-
tended. He refused to heed the warn
ings and entreaties of his friends.

FRENCH SILK INDUSTRY
FACES A GRAVE CRISIS
Bill Providing for Increase i'm Duty
Debated in the Chamber of
Deputies.

PARIS May pa serious crisis in the silk
industry was brought to the attention of the
Chamber of Deputies to-day by the debate on
the bill increasing the duty silks OF Eu-
ropean origin from 40 cents to 81 80 and plac-
ing duty of 81 so per kilo on Japanese and
Chinese raw Silks heretofore admitted free.
NJ Morel, Republican, in reporting the bill,
said a crisis had come. At Lyons and other
silk centers business had fallen off and sal
aries had been reduced until ruin was appar-
ent if the Government did not intervene. Some
regions showed 80 per cent dminution in pro-
duction. One proprietor, having 100 looms,
said Morel, now works thirty and within ten
days he will reduce this number to five. This
amounted to a general crisis in the industry,
particularly in fancy thread silks, the pro-
duction OF which was only half of that ten
years ago, representing an annual loss of $1S,-
0oOG00 The cause was the gradual decline
of foreign competition.

Rojestvcnsky Minimizes the Danger of
Torpedo Attack.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 24.-In naval cir
cles 1t is now generally assumed that Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadrons are on the
Pacific, steaming northward and giving the
Pescadores Formosa and the Loochoo Islands
wide berth, in order to minimize the danger
of these islands and to force Vice Admiral
Togo, should he elect to accept battle, to meet
him in the open.
All idea that the Russian admiral will at
tempt TO force passage or the Korean Straits
has been abandoned. Both the Perouse Strait
between the islands of Hokkaido and Sagha-
lien, and the Tsugaru Straits between the ISL
ands of Hokkaido and Hondo, were reconnoi-
tered by the cruisers and destroyers at Vladi-
vostoll and the results communicated TO Ro est
vensky before he left the coast of French Indo-
China.
