Here is an excellent sermOnette from
the editor of the Old York Transcript:
Kind words are the best lubricant of
the business worlds wheels that has
ever been invented. Kind words can
never die. They are worth their weight
in gold and cost nothing to manufac-
ture except little self training and
effort. Every employer and emplOye
should realize this and make it his bust
ness to possess 4 little sunshine factory
all his own. Business is business of
course. but growth along the lines of
cheerfulness is better all around than
any amount Of consistency to indiffer-
ence which warps ones soul and en-
bitters those with whom enc is brought
into contact. Authority must be recos-
niZed. and there must DE a real au-
thority IN every business institution,
but if we are all working to common
end; if each understands that his ulti-
mate good is subserved by concentrated
effort we all may learn sooner or later
that the most wonderful efforts can be
accomplished.

RUSH FOR SOUTHERN HOMES.
Big Demand by Homeseekers Reported
by Railroads.

Chicago. There is to be rush Of
people into the. South and Southwest
if the inquiries now being received by
the Western railroads regarding
homeseekers excursions" signify
much. One mail in a single railway
Office has contained over hundred
letters, all asking about soil and eli
mate and other things that go to make
up life in the rural districts.
The movement is not confined to the
Southwest but Southern States, like
Alabama and Mississippi, are receiv-
ing a great deal of attention. On one
line alone 487 passengers with home
seekers tickets have left Chicago in
the last six weeks for a single coun-
ty in Alabama. Reports to the Off
cials indicate that many of these peo.
pie will remain in the South perma-
nently, as they have made locations.
Vast tracts of land in Southwestern
Kansas, which have been devoted
heretofore to stock, are now being di.
vided up for farms. Oklahoma is get
ting its full share of homeseekers
while Texas is receiving more newcom.
ers than for a number of years.

Dominicans Satisfied.

New York.-The action Of the Unit
ed States government in taking charge
Of the customs receipts of San Do
mingo is generally considered by the
natives OF San Domingo as for the
best interests of the country, accord
ing TO Judge John 7. Abbott, who ar
rived on the Cherokee. Judge Abbott
is the representative of the San Do
mingo Improvement Company, and
since last April has been in charge of
the customs house at Puerto Plata, un-
der agreement with the Dominican
government. Speaking Of conditions
in San Domingo, Judge Abbott said !:
The United States government
took charge of all the ports of San
Domingo on Feb. l, except Puerto
Plata and Monte Cristi The former
I still have in charge, while the latter
is administered by natives. All the
money is turned over to the United
States authorities. This arrangement
is viewed with satisfaction by the
large majority of the natives repre-
senting the influential business inter
esss and the landed proprietors. In
fact there. is very little talk anywhere
about the. matter. The revolutionary
element is net much in evidence. +"

Examination Necessary.

State Superintendent Of Education
Whitfield has passed an important
question to the Attorney General for
decision. Some time ago the Supreme
Court decided that those teachers who
had taught five years up to 1892 were
not exempt from examinations. Since
that time elementary agriculture has
been added to the curriculum, and
teachers all over the state are writing
Superintendent Whitfield to know
whether this addition willsvitiate their
exemptions. The former decision was
based on the fact that the history of
civil government has been added to
the curriculum. The question has been
referred to the Attorney General for
decision, as the Superintendent can
not decide it. If the adding Of ele-
mentary agriculture to the curriculum,
which was done by the last legislature,
operates against the teachers, those
who supposed to be exempt will
have to be re-examined

Oil Trust 5 Reply.

independence, Kan-The Standard
Oil Company has suspended opera
tions in the Kansas field Orders were
given yesterday to stop buying OIL
and henceforth enough will be taken
from the Kansas field to supply only
the Standard s refneries at Neodosha
and Kansas City. This will require
about $15,500 barrels daily. The av-
erage production for January was
$4,000 barrels day, and for more
than half the Kansas product there
will be no market. The order threw
nine hundred men out of employment
and will paralyze development in the
Kansas fields, thus throwing thous
ands of others out of work. The ac-
tion is generally accepted as the reply
of the company to the Kansas senate,
which has passed bills for the install
ment of a state refinery in competi-
ton with the Standard Company.

RECIPROCITY GETS
HARD BLOW
THE HAY-BOND TREATY rs AP-
PARENTLY DEAD.
WANTED TO AMEND TREATY
By Cutting Out Nearly Every Ameri-
can Concession Unless Senate can
be Induced to Reconsider the Mat
ter will be Dropped.

Washington. The Hay-Bond treaty
is dead, unless the Senate can be per-
suaded to undo its work. The senti-
ments which found expression in the
executive session were such as to give
little promise for any reciprocity
whatever. The chief opposition came
from the Northwest Senators were
afraid Of what might be discovered in
Newfoundland in the way of lead and
other ores. The whole disposition
seemed to be to amend the treaty just
as if ii were a bill, which required the
approval Of nobody outside the cham
Der.
Hale and Lodge were the only SEN
ators to speak for the treaty, although
the members Of the Foreign Relations
Committee supported them generally
IN it. But the treaty was so amended
by cutting out nearly every American
concession that no American would
ask Sir Robert Bond to accept it i'll
its present form.
Unless the Senate can be induced to
reconsider, the matter will be allow
ed to drop. Lodge and Hale, whose
opposition to the old Newfoundland
treaty on account of the New Eng
land fishing interests was then mani
fest, became persuaded that this
treaty as amended was desirable, and
so they made every effort to get it
through. The president was very
earnest in the matter. But to the sur
prise of his friends, who were backing
this revived Hay-Bond project, a vio-
lent. resistance to it broke out in the
Senate.
The first objection was to reciproci-
ty by the treaty as a system. The
Senate believes this method impracti-
cable.
A second objection seems to arise
from the fear that this project in some
way, and to that the Northwest SEN
ators expressed unqualified dissent.
Third, there were many specific COM
plants agains5 the concessions grant
ed by us in this instrument. Redfeld
Proctor Of Vermont was much afraid
of the states from Newfoundland
quarries, which it was proposed to ad-
NIT In an untrimmed condition.
In short, it appears that the repre-
sentatives of special interests, trained
in the high protectionist school and
sitting behind closed doors in the Sen
ate, will not make concessions in tariff
duties of any value TO any other ma
tion

is INDICTED
FOR BRIBERY.
JOHN h. KIRBY, THE TEXAS
LUMBER KING.
BE GAVE BRIBE OF $4,000
To District Attorney for Secur-
ing the Dismissal of Case of
the State of Texas Against the Kir-
by Lumber Company.

Austin, Tex.-John II. Kirby, the
lumber king of Texas, whose home Is
at Houston, was indicted on a charge
of bribery by the grand jury Of the
Fifty-third district court. and Warren
Moore, district attorney of this coun-
ty, was alsv indicted on a charge OF
accepting bribe. The action of the
grand jury created profound sensa-
ton here, due to the prominence OF
Mr.. Kirby.
Mr.. Kirby is charged with having
given bribe of $12, 500 to District At
torney Moore for securing the dismis-
sal Of a case of the State Of Texas
against the Kirby Lumber Company
for alleged violation of the Texas anti
trust laws. The case was dismissed by
Judge Morris in March, 1902, on the
ground that the court had no juris-
diction.
Mr.. Kirby had this to say regarding
the indictment: ~.
"Of course | cannot undertake to
go into all the circumstances leading
up to my indictment in the district
court of Travis county nor the mo.
tives which prompted the persons who
instigated this prosecution nor the low
methods resorted to in accomplishing
their end. 1t is not necessary for me
to say to my friends or to those who
know me that / have committed nc
offense against the laws of my state.
Of all others l ask that they suspend
judgment until all the facts are known
and the motives of the prosecuting
witnesses exposed.
~ can only say that am the vic
tim of conspirators who failed to
blackmail me and now seek to do me
irreparable wrong by testimony which
makes them self confessed criminals
after first having provided for their
own safety by promise of immunity. =

Fear of Insanity.

Berlin.-A painful impression has
been created by the suicide of Count
Arthur zu Eulenburg at his seat near
Bartenstein, in East Prussia. The
unfortunate man, who had returned
home from a ball, apparently in his
usual state of health, left his bed
room and walked to the adjacent
river. He crawled outson his knees
to the edge Of the ice, where he shot
himself through the head. He had
left letter in his room, stating that
he was driven to suicide by the fear
of insanity The Eulenburgs. are one
of the best known aristocratic families
in Prussia, and the members of it fill
high positions both at the Court and
in the diplomatic service.

Emigrant Line to Galveston.

Bremen. The North German Lloyd
Steamship Company announces a plan
to open an emigrant transportation
line between Bremen and Galveston,
reducing the price form $4,000 to
$3.50. This action is taken in accord
ance with Immigration Commissioner
Sargent's recent speech, in the course
of which he said he meant to do every
thing possible to prevent immigrants
settling en- masse in New York and
Chicago, and that he wanted to see
the stream of immigrants partly di-
verted to Southwestern ports.

Extended to Brookhaven.

The understanding is that the Mis-
sissippi Central which is now running
from Hattiesburg to Silver Creek In
Lawrence county, will be extended in
to Brookhaven at as early day as it
is possible to get the work done. 1t is
not known yet where the road will
cross Pearl river but it is supposed
that it will be at Monticello, which is
now the terminus of the road leading
out from Brookhaven. The intention
Of the Mississippi Central is to extend
ire line some time in the future to
et& Mississippi river, and either Nat
'5s.sp or Vicksburg will get it.
