The Ogden "Conference."
Baltimore Sun

The Ogden Conference for Educa-
ton, which assemblies at Charleston,
5: T., III April, is a somewhat remark
able body, consisting primarily of
Northern men who are trvinE to
guide and control Southern educo-
ton along lines satisfactory to
Northern men. 1t takes special in
terest in schools for negroes, assum-
ing that the ideas of Southern educa-
tors in regard to such schools need
modification. Money Inducements
have been held out at times in the
hope, it seems, that little money
spent ludiciously would facilitate the
acquisition of control of the large
sums spent by Southern States on
negro schools. The support and CO.
operation of some Southern educa-
tors have thus been won. though the
ultimate aims of the conference"
nave not always been understood.
The services of the organizers of the
movement were volunteered, the ile;,
beng that the Southern people need
TO be enlightened. Some OF them
were original abolitiOnists and hold
advanced views OF the social rights
OF the eOlored man. Most of them
are Republicans who regret the dis
franchlsement of a large class of illit-
crate Republican voters. The negro
ought to be educated, it is felt. enough
at least to vote, and his education
thus tar ought to appeal to powerful
interests. Much, it is thought, me V
be done by good management and
f1ne phrases to induce the white peo.
pie OF the South to cooperate in the
scheme. 1t remains to be seen how
far they understand and appreciate
the efforts OF the propagandists.

UTILIZING WASTE MATERIALS.
Making Everything Count One Of the
Great Secrets Of Business Success.
Atlanta Journal

Atlanta Journal
One of the greatest secrets of bust
ness success lies in avoiding waste.
In this single fact lies the principle
reason for the great success of the
Armours, the Swifts, the Standard
Oil Co., the American Sugar Refining
Co., and practically every other large
and successful industry.
Take the meat packing industry as
an example. Nothing is allowed to
go to waste. The buttons that you
wear on your coat are made out of
the blood of the cattle, hogs and
sheep. The hoofs of cattle are mall
ufactured into combs and brushes.
Glue, ,vaseline and dozens of other by
products are manufactured out Of
the entrals and other portions of the
animals that at one time were al
lowed to go to waste. These by
products furnish one of the principal
sources of revenue to the beefpacking
companies.
Another illustration is furnished by
the Standard Oil Co. When the com
pany was first organized the volume
of waste in the refining of oil was
enormous. The refined oil was the
only product. Everything else went
to waste. The Standard began TAX
ing this waste and manufacturing it
into by-products, and today it has
no less than % by-products, nearly
all of which are important CONNER
cial factors, and the revenue from
which runs up into many millions n
year
The railroad industry furnishes an
other striking illustration. The eJ-
fort to economic in small items of
expenditures and save waste is the
main object in most of the enormous
investments that the railroads have
made during the last few years. The
number of train miles run in 1900
was S5G,u9O, 1t is clear that a
saving on each of these train miles,
although but fraction Of a cent, ,ag-
piled to the total number of train
miles. For instance, suppose that
the railroads of the country, through
some mans directing genius, ARE able
to save the small sum of only 2cents
a train mile This would be equiva-
lent on the 56,O9O,OS2 train miles
to total of over SIT, 100000. 1t is
easy to understand how the right
man, who can bring about such a
saving, can demand a salary of more
than 500, 900 a year

Suggestions

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on woman'S
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to serious de-
ranrement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinhham that Lydia E. Pinkham's g
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
viucingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's g
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.

DECEPTIVE APPEARANCE

Here is an incident that is related
in connection with the interest at
present being manifested in "sys.
tens" It shows that there are more
ways than one Of getting the best
Of the bank, and in this case at least
sbstruse and tedious calculations
were not necessary.
One evening at Dinant in Belgium,
a benevolent looking old gentleman
entered the casino and sitting down
next the croupier, he produced three
1.O00.franc notes. This money he i'm
nediately exchanged for its equiva-
lent in counters For nearly an hour
he, remained sitting listlessly before
the table, carelessly watching the play.
Suddenly there came from the other
end Of the table the sound of high
words, one Of the players having &C.
cpsed the man opposite ct having
annexed his winnings Finally the
two men came to blows. and the crou-
piers had to interfere to separate
them. When they regained their pla-
ces and the ball had been once more
sent On it's journey. the old gentleman
quietly pointed to the whole Of his
chips on the avant-dernier and asked
Why he had not been paid.
sBut your stake was not for the
last coup" exclaimed the heao crou-
pier.
"oh, yes. it was, said the Old gen.
t'eman irmly
The head croupier' then appealed
