sum. 1t costs $4,000 in the de-
partment of agriculture alone for the
packeting, the clerical force and the
selection. examination, testing and
purchasing of the seeds.
Pays the Railroads.
The railroads receive about $40, =
900 a year for carrying them, while
the value of the time of the postoffice
clerks, railway mail clerks and car
riers, both city and rural, consumed
in delivering them is estimated at
certainly not less than 100000. The
loss of revenue to the postoffice de-
partment is estimated at from $685.
900 to $3.50, 900, so that there is total
loss to the postoffice department of at
least half million dollars.
In order to approximate the amount
of mail matter sent out by the vari-
Gus departments under frank inquiry
was recently made of each depart
ment IN the city. The treasury de-
partment reported an average OF 10
sacks per diem, which, at 300 letters
or parcels to the sack, would amount
to 22,500 day. The pension office
sent out last year l, 1875, 900 pieces and
the department of justice averages six
sacks per diem, or about 1,8OO pieces,
800 to the sack. The other
departments reported that no figures
we're available. AS In distribution
of "free seeds" amounts to I,ooo, Ooo
packages the average is 25, 900 pack
ages a day for 300 working days
which is many times that of the de-
partment of justice, about three and a
half the entire mail from the pension
Office, with a million pensioners, and
greater even than the treasury de-
partment, which collects the revenues
of the government and which is sup.
posed to have the heaviest mail OF
all the departments.

RIGHT NAME FOR NEGROES ?
Wouldn't Have Suggestion from Con-
gresham Sims That "COIored
Race" Be Changed.

Congress has had under considera-
ton a bill to increase the salaries of
school teachers in the District of Co
lumbia and reorganiZing the board of
education The bill provided for a
board of education of nine members,
three of whom "shall be of the color
ed race"
Mr.. Sims of Tennessee said it was
time to get away from miscalling the
negro race. He said the word ''cOlor-
eds included the yellow, brown and
red people, as well as negroes. He
said the word "nigger' was corrup-
ton of negro" and wholly incorrect
in the description of the race of peo-
pie provided for in the bill.
He said that Secretary Taft, lone
Of the ablest and greatest men of his
time" in his recent address at Tuske-
gee Institute had used the words me
gro and negro race" twenty-five times
and "colorad race" but four times.
This fact, Mr.. Sims thought, was lum-
nous of correct understanding of
the nomenclature of the race.
Mr.. Sims amendment to the bill
striking out the word ''colored" and
inserting negro" wherever it occurs
was defeated.
The bill was amended so that the
board of education shall consist of
nine persons without regard to color.

TO KEEP FREE SEEDS OUT
Is GOING TO BRING ON A WARM
FIGHT IN CONGRESS.

The House Committee on Agriculture
Wants to Do This, But There Are
Other Members Who Do Not.
A Washington dispatch says that
within q few days the house will be
confronted with the proposition wheth-
er or not it will stand by the recon-
mendations of it's committee on agrl-
culture and abolish the 'congresslon-
al free seed distribution" 1t is some
what surprising that there should be
any doubt as to the action OF the
house, and vet the committee fears
that it's recommendation will be dis
regarded and that the appropriation
will be voted back into the bill. II
this is done in the house it will be IN
direct opposition to Overwhelming
public sentiment. Secretary of Agrl-
culture Wilson is on record as firm IN
his opposition to the indiscrimlnate
distribution of common garden SEEDS,
such as onion, turnip, radish and
beans.
The National Grange, aroused by
the insulting charge that the distribu-
ton is only continued because the
farmers want the Seeds" by resOlu-
tons adopted at its conVenlon'
through it's legislative committee ana
in the colmns of it's official organ the
National Grange Bulletin, has un-
Sparingly denounced the practice and
has resented the imputation that the
farmers want these cheap seeds.
CorteIyOu Wants Relief.
Postmaster Cortelyou would be GLAD
to see the distribution abolished, be-
cause the seeds clog the mails and his
department is compelled to bear the
cost of distributing them as we'll as

which would be paid if the seeds
We're sent out by the seed merchants
The press is a unit against the dis
trioution, and thousands of letters
against its continuance have been re-
ceived by members of the house from
their constituents.
The common vegetable seeds of the
last distribution cost 100000, so that
each of the 4O,OOO,OOO packets dis
tributed was intrinsicallY worth less
than a quarter of cent-225-1OOOths

COTTON MILLS IN SOUTH.
Southern States Lead New England
in Cotton Manufactures.


in Cotton Manufa ctories.
Within the next year, it has been
predicted, the official figures will show
that the southern states are manufac-
turing more cotton than New England.
Senator Frazier of Tennessee made
the statement the other day that dur
ing 1905 the southern mills consumed
2,O25, 900 bales. Mr.. Clay of Georgia
produced figures to show that in 1904
the northern New England) cotton
mills consumed 2,046, 900 bales. In
that year the southern mills were re-
corded as consuming l, 1889, 900 bales.
Recent additions to the spindles of the
south, it is said, makes it quite GER
tain that the south is no longer sec
ond to New England in the volume of
cotton made into cloth.
Practically all this phenomenal
growth of the southern cotton indus
try has been within the last twenty
years.

THREW DICE FOR GIRLS HEART
Fair Prize Stood by While the Rival
Youths Juggled the worries.

A game of dice settled a rivalry OF
long standing for the heart and afec-
tions of Miss Lula Baker, a pretty ste
nographer in the Merchants hotel of
Omaha. The gamesters were Jules
AIthaus of Omaha and Jack Mitchell
of Council Bluffs, both well known
young business men, and while the
game was in progress Miss Baker
stood by and encouraged the young
men.
For several years the two men had
been rivals for Miss Bakers heart.
Finally they decided to throw dice, the
loser to drop out of the race. Miss
Baker agreed to abide by the result.
After each had won a game and Mitch
ell had thrown four SKIES Miss Baker
begged Althaus to let her shake for
him. Althaus refused and threw non
descript hand. He shook hands with
Mitchell and the girl and walked away
saving he would never call on her
again.

age. He had been at the home but a
few days. The deceased was a mem
ber of Go. H, 46th Mass. Vols. going
out in September. 1862. He saw
active service at Kinston, Raleigh,
White Hall and Plymouth, N. O.,
and was honorably mustered out of

sou, Daniel, and a daughter, Pearl

Manager O'Connell has signed Ed
die Collins for this season to pitch
for Stafford, and Maurice J. Lynch of
Indian Orchard will play short.
Smith will in all probability be at
first and there is hope that Graham
will come back and play second. With
this neuclus to build on the indica-
tions are that the local team will
show up strong at the beginning of
the season. The league season will
open MAY 10th. when Stafford Springs
will play with Ware. The Spring
field Republican says of the new short
stop: "Lynch is very popular at the
Orchard and has played shortstop on
the Orchard team for a number of
years, having been captain of the
Orchard team for the past four years.
He is an exceptionally clever fielder,
an expert base runner and good bat
ter, although last year his stickwork
fell off some. 1t is possible that he
may make Stafford Springs his home
later in the season, as he has been
offered good chance to locate there. "

The governors of all the states have been requested to send ten delegates each. The point is made by the committee that the obstacles which have hamp- cred efforts to develop our com merce are plainly evident, and that they should be removed instead of remaining in the rear in the strug- gle with Europe for commercial su- premacy. The committee feels that whatever means are adopted must be based on the recognition of eco- homie conditions now existing In or der to be effective. Secretary Root will address the meeting.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3O.-Mayor Eugene E. Schniitz, who cut short his European trip to hasten home to face the charges of extortion and graft in office on which he was indicted by the grand jury during his absence, was warmly welcomed on his arrival here. Four thousand people, among them many women. crowded the Dreamland pavilion to its fullest capacity and hour after hour waited with remark able patience for the mayors arrival Outside more than thousand people who could not gain entrance to tho pavilion stood for several hours in the street to get glimpse of the indicted mayor, who was returning to his city under arrest and, formally at least, in the custody of deputy sheriff who served a warrant on him when he reached Truckee, Cal.
 At the ferry about 800 persons, head ed by reception committee, gathered to welcome the returning mayor and cheered him again and again. In a voice choked with emotion Mayor Schmitz spoke in part as follows:
 T can hardly express how grateful feel in receiving such reception after being so maligned by the worst set of newspapers that ever cursed a city. It has been said that I fled from my city, but here am to face my traducers. This attack is against union labor, that they may disrupt and crush the labor organization and administration of this city. I want to say that the harm these papers are doing and have done will take years to set right. Talking of vigilance committees, we will perhaps have yet to organize one"

Senor Louis Carbo. minister to the United States from Ecuador, says there are great opportunities for young men of America in the vast mineral and engineering industries of Ecuador. South America offers more alluring opportunities to young men than any other region in the world" he said recently. He thus paints the southern continent: Vast mineral deposits and great areas of valuable timber land await the com ing of capital and energy that must convert them into private fortunes. Already many thousand Americans and Europeans are exgaged in the exploitation of Ecuador's natural riches. and there is a steady influx of capital and immigrants. Ecuador is quite free from those political dis turbances which have served to make investments of capital SO unsafe in many southern countries. It is true that armed conflicts occur there. and the widely circulated in this country as revolutions. but their seriousness may be compared with what would here be termed a riot.
