sible to work up an enormous number OF
corkS in an hour, for the work is never
checked Backward and forward runs the
huge blade, the forward movement cutting
the cork, the reverse one grinding 1t III
preparation for the next stroke, and the
cutter feeds the machine with the left
hand. while never releasing his hold on the
handle with the right.
Some one suggested the possibility of in-
crfasing the speed By machinery, but Al
that the cutter shook his head. Consider
Ing the extraordinary sharpness of the blade
and the dangerous proximity to the fingers
when the cork was put into position, he
himself would take no risk of that nature,
SO he averred.
As it was, his instinct told him when
anything was amiSs. and without stopping
to think or reason over the matter he would
check the blade at once but to have a
twenty->ix inch blade of steel moving bv
machinery would rather be excused.
1t was heavy work certainly, alternately
pushing aud pulling that blade for hours at
stretch. but unless a strictly automatic
feed could he arranged to the machine ii
would turn the cork cutting business into
a fearlully dangerous employment.
The best priced corks are the tiny ones
sold to the chemists for the ends of hypo-
dernic tubes minute little atoms that can
be cut out of almost any scrap Of cork, al
ways provided it is Of the best quality.
There are not many cutters who can d,
uch fine work.

Vital to the White Laborer


The effort to limit the elective privileges of
the negro is being made ia the interest ofgood
government and the security and prosperity of
the people. Considering the latter every poor
man, every laboring man is, or should be,
particularly interested. They are the people
who come 10 contact with the negro. He is
forced upon them wherever their labor leads
them, aud they are obliged 20 associate with
him aud to be injured by the competition he
presents
The negro is gradually coming North, and
lust now Maryland is his resting place. He
enioys al sorts of privileges and considers
himself AS good as any white man and better
than-as he calls them-''poor white trash,
that is, the people who are compelled to work
by his side, or siarve.
And il is to these people-the men who are
working in the fields. on the railroads, in the
uuarries and elsewhere where the day iaborer
ioils--that wish to present the benefits that
the proposed Amendment will confer. They
are the people after all who are vitality inter-
ested in It's passage. The rich, who only come
into contact with the negro as their servants;
the middle class who only come into contact
with him in an incidental way, are only in.
directly concerned, but the aborer, who has
his hateful presence thrust upon bim upon
terms of equality. and who is obliged to work
with him. and perhaps 10 see him accost mem
bers of his family with the familiarity of equal
recognition--he is the man who has to bear
the heaviest part Of the black imposition.
Now we-the Democrats of Maryland-pro-
pose a measure of relief. We propose to go
as far as the Federal Constitution will permit
us in dsfranchising the negro; to take away
from him his dearly loved right to vote, and
further TO reduce him to his proper level. If
we can accomplish this Maryland ceases to be
desirable location for him and he viii nat
uraly gravitate toward those states where he
may expect to be welcomed and where be will
only get paltry sentence of four years in jail
for outragng a white lady.
Then the field of labor in Maryland will be
relieved of the black shadow that now sets up
on il, and honest and industrious white labor
ing men will not have to put up with the com
petition and association of the cursed race.
1t is to be hoped that the laboring men will
see how important it is TO them to have this
Amendment passed, aud realize that when they
vote for il they are voting to elevate them
selves, improve their industrial condition and
best of ali protect their homes and families
from the detested familiarity and the constant
menace that the negro presents.

Miles of Grain.

Measuring the prosperity of the American
farmer this year in units of freight cars,
Chicago railroad statisticians have figured out
that the grain traffic for this crop year will
aggregate l, 500, coo carloads. If all this grain
could be marketed simultaneously and hauled
in single solid train of freight cars the train
would be II, ,93l miles long, exclusive of the
locomotives that would be necessary to move it.
Dividing this huge train into smaller ones
of 40 cars each there would be required 81 500
locomotives or 355 miles of draft machinery.
Adding this S55 miles to the IL 1881 miles of
cars, there is a total of Il, 2S6 miles. To hold
the cars and engines it would require nearly
every foot of four tracks extending from New
York to San Francisco. The necessary single
track would measure half the circumference of
the globe.
Impressive as these figures are, they do not
begin TO tell the vastness of the wealth which
the American farmer has taken from his soil
in corn. oats. wheat, barley and rye in the
year 1905 The railroad mems estimates are
confined to the grain which will be moved to
market centers on the steam roads Prob
ably not over one. third of the grain produced
will ever see freight car. The other two.
thirds will be hauled to local mills in wagons
or will be consumed by live stock on the farms.
To hold the entire corn crop alone would call
for train and engines q, 900 miles in length

or farknowing. The first evidence of his extra
ordinary power was recorded when he was four

the persons about him, though the remarks were
given in German, French, Scottish dialect and
Indian. He understood the languages of all ami
mails well.
One day, when living in India he described to
his father plot to murder neighbor, which he
perceived distinctly, though the potters We're
miles away. The plot frustrated and the
ruffians captured solely on his information.
AT ten years of age he was taken to England

Grown to young manhood, Grer one night felt
desire to recall Maggie Hutchinson girl he
had known in India, and distinctly saw her eating
dinner with Constantine at a New-York seaside
resort, although he, Grier, was in England. He
called in Frank Hooper, an American, the next
evening to verify his impressions of New-York,
which he never had seen, and to the visitor s
establishment translated the shrieks of a cat in
the courtyard Upon Hooper's suggestion he
again sought to find Maggie Hutchinson, and
called up an Atlantic liner outward bound from
New York. The next evening he was mentally
transported to New-York again He awoke with
an exclamation about the villainy of dramatic

son an offer tic go on concert tour, Constantine
evidently having Interior motive. So intent
