Greenwood, Miss. is to have free
mail delivery, and among the car
riers there will be but one white
man and three negroes; that's the
town where Vardaman lives, and we
have not heard a word of protest
against the colored carriers. - Nat

The explanation is easy. But
one white man was examined and he
easily passed, making by far the
highest grade Of any of the appli-
cants, Unlike they do in nearby
cities, our young men do not find it
necessary to enter the scramble for
minor government positions, Our
local industries give them all en-
ployment at much better salaries
than are paid mail carriers.

BAER H0TLY DENIES.
DIVINE RIGHT STORY
Says He Never Claimed That
God Gave Him the
Coal Mines.

PORTLAND, Aug. 3.-"The statement
that at any time / ever claimed divine
rgiht' to anything except life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness is a ma
hcious falsehood," said George F. Baer,
president of the philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad, to-day. Baer in COM
pany with his family is in Portland on
a pleasure trip.
Those conscienceless papers which
made me appear as saying that my as
sociates and / controlled the anthra-
cite coal of this country by divine right
deliberately falsined. l have said and
done some foolish things in my time,
but never anything quite so unworthy
or idiotic as TO make such an utter
ance. That falsehood was circulated at
the time of the coal strike hearing
for the express purpose of innaming
the public mind
AT that time Senator Marcus A.
Hanna said to me: 'Baer don't deny
it. 1t won't do any good The lie will
travel so fast that you can't overtake
it Mr.. Hanna was right and ! knew
IL, so said nothing by way of denial
"As he said to me, so l say to you, if
some one starts a lie about you don't
deny It. Live it down. That's the
only way. Prove that ii is not true
One Of the greatest human feelings is
proneness to believe evil report The
world wants to hear evil so badly that
it will believe IL in preference to good
report any time. AS to that story about
divine right, think that 1 have lived
it down pretty successfully by this time
and only trouble makers or their dupes

SUPPLY BILLS

Mrs. Clasbey Asks That Su-

Lays Bare Crooked Work
CLAIMS CUT HEAVILY
Investigation VIII Be Made
and Various County Of
ficers May Have Trouble

OAKLAND. Aug S.-Mrs. Lottie VI.
clasbey appeared before The Board Of
Supervisors to-day and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION why the bills she held against
the county for $4,000, due on stationery
and supplies, were not paid. Some Of the
accounts with the various Offices are far
too large. and as the result Of an ex-
pert's report there has been much prun-
ing. Some peculiar juggling with the sta
tioneTy account was unearthed and an
investigation is 10 be made.
The woman conducts the Central News
Company, at 1903 Broadway, and had one
OIto /. Hasse in her employ. During her
absence several months ago il is claimed
that Hasse assigned $500 10 the Central
Bank. and now since her return the
amount OF her bills calling for $500 has
been cut TO Sl503. 1t is said that a corre-
spending reduction viii be made on all
the bills, but If the reductions are made
Mrs Clssbey threatens to employ attor-
news TO defend her rights.
1t is alleged that several items on the
various bills are misrepresented and
should read stationery instead Of office
furniture. Mrs. Clasby believes that the
forging Of wrong items IN place Of the
originals is the work of some one trying
70 60 her harm
The Supervisors were busy to-day
checking up the account with the Central
News Company and they have found
number of discrepancies warranting big
cuts in the items. 1t is said TO be the
opinion Of some Of the Supervisors that
the bills have been stuffed and they de-
clare no such amounts viii be paid the
woman FOR stationery. Various county
officers have either been. careless and i'm
posed upon, or they have been parucipat-
ing in petty grating.

ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT.
ENLARGED AT STANFORD
New Course In Designing Added 10 the
Curriculum Under Processes.
Harris j. Ryan.
1-N-TvvrDSTrv


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 81
Professor Harris J. Ryan OF Cornell
University, lately appointed head of the
college of electrical engineering at
Stanford University, has made known
the plans he will follow in his depart
ment. The principal branches Of the
subject, continuous current theory, al
ternating current theory and the de-
signing of electrical machinery. will be
handled according TO methods in vogue
at Cornell. The subject of designing,
hitherto untouched, will be especially
emphasized. This subject is OF the
greatest practical Importance and in
order to receive a degree from the col
lege of electrical engineering it must
be covered along with the two other
co-ordinating branches.
The electrical department as IL will
be run will encourage greatly the en-
rollment of non-electrical engineers,
that is. students who have for their
major subject either mechanical or civil
engineering. 1t has been found that
in these courses, and especially in the
latter, the transmission of power
enters into. large percentage OF the
work undertaken. AT Cornell Uni
versity the course OF nome electrical en-
gfneers is extremely popular, and Pro-
fessor Ryan would welcome a like state
of affairs here. The combination of
courses usually. however. requires one
year of graduate work to enable it's
completion.
