ATTACKS THE COURT
Bishop Turner Also Strikes at the
 U. s. Government.

Chicago, Nov 25.--A dispatch to the Tribune from Macon, Ga, says: Bishop Henry M. Turner, the leading bishop in the African Methodist church, made an impassioned attack upon the gov- ernment and the United States SUI preme court in his annual address yes terday to the Macon conference.
 T am not pleased with this nation" declared Bishop Turner. No man hates this nation more than I do. When go to say my prayers I have struggle to get to the place where am willing for God to allow the United States supreme court to have part in my prayer That damnable institu ton has robbed the negro of every vestige of human or manhood's rights. The men that compose that body may get to heaven the best way they can, but 1t is little help God will grant for any request that make.
 "The negro will never be anything in this country but a scullion until he shows his manhood. Go to Africa and build up a great nation that will com mand the respect of the civilized world.''
 Bishop Turner. after bitter arraign- ment of the Rev Thomas Dixon for his writings and speeches against the negro. offered MT Dixon $500 to meet him on ''any platform in the United States" in joint debate of the negro question.

NERVE OF THE "sooNERs"
Methods Taken by the Adventurers Who Try to Beat to the
 Front.

For many persons, 8 newly discov- cred fact is simply spring board from which they dive into bottomless sea of speculation, says Samuel Mc- Chord Brothers, in Atlantic. They pride themselves on their ability to jump at conclusions, forgetting that jumping is an exercise in which the lower orders excel their betters. If fan elephant could jump as far, in pro portion to his weight, as flea. there would be no holding him on this plan ct. Every new discovery is followed by a dozen extrayagances, engineered by the Get-wise-quick people. There ie always some Young Napoleon of Philosophy who undertakes to corner truth-market. It's like what happened at the opening of Oklahoma territory. Before the day set by the government when they all were to start fair in their race for farms, band of adven- turers called "Sooners'' smuggled themselves across the line When the bona fde settler arrived on his quar- ter-section, he found an impudent Sooner" in possession. You can't find any fresh field of investigation that isn't claimed by these sooners. It all comes because people are no longer educated logically.

NEW YORK SERVANTS
A SINGLE FAMILY MAY EN-
 PLoY A SCORE OR MORE.
The Housekeeper's Important Post Wages of Various Classes-The Woman Chef-Different
 Nationalities.

In this little sketch we are to con- sider the great houses, the big establish ments where retinue of servers is re- quired--or rather supposed to be re- quired. Of course in this day of special ization some hired house workers are es- sential. madam has so many outside interests; but when we get down to hard fact, few of us really are the better for a lot of personal service. Isn't it Jane Addans who looks forward more or less confidently to 8 day when the belittling personal service will not be asked, will not be rendered? But this is not so- biological discussion, just Q glance at the conduct of big New York resi- dence.
 Center and soul of the place is-not the chef-the housekesper. She is by no manner of means servant, but a woman of superior intelligence. superior executive ability. and often from the same social level as the mistress Per haps financial reyerses came, she turned her attention to something she felt fit ted for, the direction and control of a small household army.
 A general she must be to get on with them all--20, 25 or more-she must have a system that will keep the ma chinery running smoothly. Or else she need not expect her s100 a month, need not expect to hold her position. She has the disbursement in wages of per haps $10,000 year, she is business woman to her finger tips. She has tact and, too, is good disciplinarian. There must be no friction, madam must not know of the existence of a servant prob. lem.
 What is her realm, who are her min- ions? She rules over every nook and corner of the place, has authority over all save three or four of the employees. She has tremendous responsibilities; that august parsonage the butler must do his duty nobly, be every inch an Englishman; the chef must not lapse from the artists plane-and, by the way, the high priced chef very often Is woman. A high-grade intelligence of. flee in New York gives the informa- ton that the number of good women chefs really exceeds the number of male cooks. The two footmen must be mod els of propriety. efficiently represent the dignity oi the establishment House maids, parlor maids. scullery maid, kitchen maid, useful man" and use ful women iaundresses. all have dis tinctly defined tasks. they must perform these tasks with skill and diligence.
 In addition to the workers immedi- ately under the eye of the housekeeper there are other servants of importance The ladys maid is not the least of these the valet is of consequence, the coach man, the groom If madam entertains a great deal there will be secretary though tbe housekeeper is often, asked to look after the correspondence her self. A caterer and his stan come in on occasions. As is readily seen, the rooi

PRESIDENT WHEELER
Says Present Game of Football Has
 Oatgr. wn its Intentions.

Chicago. Nov. 25- A dispatch to the Record Herald from San Francis co. says: President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of Califot- mai. in an address to the students yes terday, discussed football and used very plain words. He said
 The game has outgrown it's inten- tions. The trouble with it is it is too highly developed and specialized for the average student. Men have to be in an artificial state of preservation to play the game as it is played today.
 T never objected to it on the ground that it was rough. but that 1t is not within the sphere of usefulness for the ordinary student. The great trouble -is,, that q. the game is in the hands of a self-appointed, self-organ- ized committee of rules. l refer to Mr Camp and his associates. They have promised reforms but have done nothing Now the college presidents have lost patience. We will revise the rules ourselves and the changes will be radleal.'

SLOW CURE FOR INSOMNIA
The Victim Took Beer for It, But in Extremely Moderate
 Quantity.

! Speaking of homeopathy, said, the doctor, according 10 the Philadelphia Record. reminds me of the case of Miss N, who traces her ancestry back through a long line of Puritans. and has imbibed from them strong and un- yielding principles as regards saloons and liquor. Miss N has been troubled with insomnia and has tried all sorts of remedies. Finally, she told me of her trouble. suggested that beer might help her to woo sleep. She was mortified. but at last beer peddlel stopped at her door and left a dozen bottles.
 "The beer man returned in about three days for the empty bottles.
 S. My dear man, said Miss N-,s the bottles are not yet empty
 "The beer man waited several days more and again appeared.
 Your bottles are perfectly safe, Miss NJ told him. and then thought struck her. but if you need them have one nearly empty which you may have

 Why replied Miss N, I take two teaspoons twice day

 w. F. M.-Please print sketches of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Christopher Columbus.
 "A. Hawthorne was Morn at Salem. Mass. July 4, 1894. and died at Ply mouth, N. H.. May 12, 1864. He grad uated from Bowdoin college in 1895. His public services included three years in the Boston custom 1hpuse, 1S3S41; surveyor of the port of Salem 1S46-9, and consul at Liverpool 1S53-T. His first novel, "Fanshaw," was pub lished in 1926. This was followed by many others too well known to need recalling and on which his fame secure ly rests. Columbus was born about 1446 at or near Genoa, Italy. and died sixty years later at yalledolid, Spain. His parents were lowly, but he re celved a good education and early adopted a seafaring life. About 14T3 lIe went to Portugal, where he married and had a son, Diego. It is probable that he participated in some voyages along the African coast, and there is some doubtful evidence of a voyage to Iceland. Impressed with the idea that Asia might be reached by sailing west. ward. he proposed such an expedition to the Portuguese king. but was not heard with favor. About 14S4 he made like proposals to the king and queen of Spain. which were first declined and afterwards accepted. He made for himself and heirs admiral in an the regions be might discover. and v1eeroy in countries acquired by him for Spain. with full powers and gen erous share of the revenues. His first voyage brought him to San Salvador in 1492. and after short time he pro- eeeded to Cuba. He supposed these to he outlying parts of Asia. After touch' ing at the Azores and Portugal he re- turned to Spain in 1403 and was re- ceived with great honors. In Septcnl- Der of that year he started a second and much larger expedition. which his covered Dominica. and landed on sev. eral of the Caribbean Islands and at Porto Rico. His colonies endured much suffering. and his plan to enslave hos | tile Indians resulted in complaints being forwarded to Spain which took him home. but he was graciously re- ceived and the complaints were dis missed. In 149S he started on third voyage and landed at Trinidad. This was probably the first discovery of South America: the Cabots had already found North America. Disorders end loss or dignity resulted this time. His final expedition started in 15O2 seeking a passage westward through Panama. After encounters with In. dIans and a vain attempt 10 plant s colony he returned to Jamaica. where his ships routed He reached Spain In i5O4. Queen Isabella died soon after and Columbus's remaining days were passed in poverty and neglect

Ravages of the Big Gray Wolf Far Worse Than Those of the
 Coyote.

Big wolves are found in both Texas and Oklahoma. but they are rare com. pared to the coyotes; and they are great wanderers. says Theodore Roose- welt, in Scribner's. Alone or in par ties of three or four or half a dozen they travel to and fro across the coun- try. often leaving a district at once if they are molested. Coyotes are more or less plentiful everywhere through out the west in thinly settled districts and they often hang about in the i'm mediate neighborhood of towns. They do enough damage to make farmers and ranchers kill them whenever the chance offers.
 But this damage Is not appreciable when compared with the rayages of their grim. big brother. the gray wolf. which, wherever it exists in numbers, is a veritabIe scourge to the stock

 How much do they get. how do they live? The following wages are given as those not infrequently obtaining: The chef gets about the same salary as the housekeeper. the butler may have to put up with s25 a month less: the next highest priced individual is the coachman. his wage something like ss5: the footmen between them may get ss0. the two buffers assistants s20: the valet receives se0. the ladies maid s25-why this divergence. we cannot say-a house maid probably gets y25. q psrlor maid the same. kitchen maid about sz0. the laundresses s30 each. the useful maid s20. the useful man s25.

good. The servants food Is necessarily s big item of the household expense.
 The butler, as we hinted above. is sup posedly an Englishman, the chef gen. erally French, the footmen English, the lady's maid may be either French or English, the other servants German, Scandinavian or Irish. Many men and maids of many lands 1t takes to operate the machinery for the housekeeping of the small family characteristic of Amer ican society.
 When the move is made to the coun- try place, the establishment is enlarged very considerably. Country life does not spell simple life; 1t means more employees, more entertaining. more money spent, larger burden of care for the real head of things. Does 1t pay? It gives lot of people lot of work, 1t is one way to get rid of money.
