WHY NEGROES ARE BLACK
THIS MAN HAS SOLVED SECRET
OF THE COLORS OF THE RACES.
Black Skin Is IA Protection Against
Rays of the Sun. The Negro Is
Nocturnal Animal.

Mai. Woodruff of the British army
claims to have solved the secret of the
colors of the races. He says it is all
a matter of sunshine and climate and
nature Thus the black man is black
because nature deemed it necessary to
protect him against the fierce rays OF
the sun in Africa. He asserts that If
white family settles in Africa the
fourth or fifth or sixth generation de-
scending from that family will be
black of skin; not as black as the ma
tive whose ancestors burned there for
thousands Of years, but still dark
enough to be called black And the
same sort of argument applies TO the
colOrs of the other races, the major
saws. The Chinaman is yellow, the
Indian red and the Malay brown be-
cause those colors are best suited TO
protect the people against the light
rays that beat upon them. The major
further makes this interesting Obser-
walton with respect to the negro; The
negro is really a nocturnal animal
like the other black animals OF the
tropics. Left to himself he behaves
like a cats inclined to sleep all day,
hiding away somewhere, and become
lively, energetic and active at night. "
The Negroes natural armor, however,
he explains, is only efficacious against
natural heat. When exposed to arti-
fical heat in a dark atmosphere the
black skin ceases to throw off the heat
and the negro suffers far more than
the white man.

THE COSTLY PHILIPPINES.
Uncle Samuel Must Pay Back Seven
Million Good Dollars.

If the supreme court discovers many
more as serious legal blunders perpe-
trated by the Philippine government
as that brought to light by the suit OF
Henry w. Peabody of Boston and
Manila the treasury deficit will begin
to assume alarming proportions. The
court has just decided in this case
that all the duties collected on goods
brought from the United States to the
Philippines during the period of mill
taly occupation, from April II, 1899,
to March 8, 1901, were illegal and
must be refunded to the importers.
This means that the United States will
have to pay back to the importers a
sum estimated at $1,000 900. This
money formed the revenue Of the Phil
ippines during that period and was
expended tor administrative expenses
as fast as received, and the United
States will now have to make good
the loss. 1t may be that congress will
pass legislation which will compel the
little brown man to pay the bill, and
if it does he will be afforded a new
lesson in 1.-THE blessings of civiliza-

4 New York dispatch says that by
clever ruse Mrs. Jack Wilmerdlng'
great granddaughter of Commodore
Vanderbilt, escaped for the second
time Sunday night from George W.
Hills private sanitarium, Harlem
where she had been under restraint
for some months.
She saws she left dummy IN her
he'd in the sanitarium, and when all
was still fed through window. .
Mrs. Wilmerding also says her for
time consisted of 20 cents at the mo-
ment. After getting away she visited
two lawyers offices and then dlSap-
peared.
Mrs. Wilmerding first called on
Mark Alter at his Office. Mr.. Alter
was her counsel in August 1902, when
She aDpeared in the Jefferson Market
police court and complained that
John G. Wilmerding, her husband,
had failed to contribute to her sup
port, as had been agreed between
them. Formerly we'll known in So
ciety, she married Mr.. Wilmerding IN
1891, and they lived together for seven
years.
Mrs. Wilmerding is a handsome
woman about 36 years old. She was
born Marie Allen, daughter of the late
Vanderbilt Allen and granddaughter
Of the late Mrs. Daniel B. Allen, who
was Commodore Vanderbilt's daugh-
ter. The most fashionable people in
town attended her wedding in Grace
church, but her married life, passed
in Europe, New York and Staten Is
land, proved very unhappy.
In February 1897, a commission was
appointed to examine into Mrs. Will
merding's mental condition, and be-

fore it much testimony was given
touching her eccer.tricities and dissl-
pations when she and her father, Van
derbilt Allen, were at Capri, Italy.
The commission declared her insane
and her uncles, John Wallace and
Franklin Allen, were appointed a
committee to take charge of her per-
son and estate, then worth about
$40, 600.
Mrs. Wilmerding was sent to Bloom
ingdale asylum, where she remained
more than year After a long legal
fight she was set at liberty in Deem
Der, 1898.
Her constant friend, Mrs. Jack
Bloodgood had become an actress,
and late in 1901 Mrs. Wilmerding APP
peared in "Under Southern Skies, ;"
produced by Grace George at the
Republic theater. The former society
woman's eccentricities manifest ID
themselves again.
Some months ago she was commit
ed to the Hill sanitarium. After a
few weeks she escaped, went to Phlla-
delphia, but soon returned to New
York. She found employment in sew
eral large stores, remaining fort
night or so in each, found the work
too hard and voluntarily returned to
the sanitarium.

Won't Joke Her ANY More.

r. G. Sem is a Omaha joker who
will not probably joke any more with
his wife. Some months ago he wrote
her from an Indiana city saying he
was dead, and signed the name OF a
hotel keeper to the letter. Mrs. Sem
wrote and made inquiries as to the
last illness and demise of her dear
beloved husband, and asked that the
body be forwarded home for inter
ment. Meanwhile she took steps to
collect the life insurance. A day or
so later Sem telegraphed her that he
was not dead, but only joking. He
sent the message collect. Mrs. Sem
refused to pay COR it, on the ground
that if he wasn't dead it didn't make
any difference to her and that she
didn't propose to be bunkoed out OF
! the price of the message.

Cleveland Preacher Says He Is De

Is Not Allowed to Use.

''The most hopeless peoplein Cleve-

how to say empty things properly
and he is lost This is the most APP
palling spectacle in the world"
SO spoke the Rev. Chas. A. Eaton,
pastor of Rockefeller's Euclid Avenue
Baptist Church, in Cleveland, Ohio,
at the noon meeting for men on Sun
day.
1.-The theological seminaries are
complaining that they cannot get
students. Years ago mothers. know
ing that they were to have children,
prayed to God thatthey might be boys
and that they might be preachers of
Christ'c Gospel. Can you conceive of
a modern mother making that prayer?
IF the parents have ordinary
means the mother now goes to card
parties in the afternoons, the mother
and father to the theater at night, and
in the morning the father wakes up
with new scheme to skin his neigh
Dor. The nurse takes care of the
children all day.

is fool. You may give a man mil

lions he is a fool described by an ad-
