THE CLASSES OF NEGROES
Noted Scientist Makes Investigation
OF the Race and Writes OF
1.-The NEGRO Brain"

An article on THE Negro Brain" by
Robert Bennett Bean, NJ. D., in the
September Century Magazine, demon
strates that in black races the brain
Judged by Caucasian standards, is de
| fcient in both white and gray matter
and less developed in the frontal re
gion than is requisite for ample native
powers of judgment and self-control
Dr. Beans study at close range OF
thousands of northern and southern
negro individuals, with selective brain
measurements, had led to verifica
tion of types showing most and least
promise of benefting by American civ.
ilization.
OF the southern group of three ra-
cial classes, constituting the majority
of American negroes, the lowest is the
HOttentot, or Bushman type, squat of
stature, with gray or old yellow skin
resembling rough vanished oak, prog
nathous jaws, and extremely long
heads, containing probably the small
est brains of all human beings. This
class is comparatively rare except in
the worst sections of southern towns.
The next higher type, and the most an
cient, most classical, and most numer-
Gus, is the low-clasS Guinea coast ne
gro, of short but well-knit build, beau
tiful white teeth, and cool, velvety
skin varying from a reddish, yellOwisN,
or blush black to jet black. This type
produces good laborers, under cOmpul-
sion. The best, though a less numer-
Gus, class is the redoubtable Fuzzy
wuzzy, the big black boundin' beg
gar, who Drunk a British square. ]"
The Sudanese negroes are compare
lively handsome, all, with well-pro-
toned limbs and a long face. They
are aiding the south in its material
development as handicraftsmen-car-
penters, blacksmiths, firemen, engine
drivers.
The second group is of mixed blood
distributed throughout the north. The
highest class is Kipling's Zulu impi"
who "dished us up in style" He is
still at it-with edibles-in Pullman
dining cars, hotels, cafes, and in Occu-
pations demanding generally a mini
mum of exposure. Before coming
north he served the Virginia grandees.
He may boast ancient Arabian blood,
as the Zulus and kindred Bantu tribes
represent a strain of the Hamitic and
Semitic peoples grated on the negro.
The high stature, oval face, and occa-
sionally aquiline or Arablike nose pro-
claim his ancestry.

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly atteSted
bv scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
ton. impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots
- - -
DIR. Pierce believes that our American for
ests abound in most valuable medicinal roots
for the cure of most obstinate and fatal dis
eases, if we would properly investigate them;
and, in confirmation of this conviction, he
points with pride to the almost marvellous
cures effected by his uGolden Medical Dis
covery," which has proven itself to be the
most efficient stomach tonic, liver nvigor-
ator heart tonic and regulator. and blood
cleanser known to medical science. Dyspep-
STA, or indigestion, torpid liver, funcuonal
and even valvular and other affections OF
the heart yield to its curative action. The
reason tUhV it cures these and many other
affections, is clearly shown in a little book
of extracts from the standard medical works
which is mailed free to any address by DR.. X.

DIDN'T HURT PACKERS.
Their Trade Has Increased EnOr-
mOusIy Since the Scandal.

Their Trade Has Increased EnOr-
mOusIy Since the Scandal.
The beef scandal didn't hurt the
packing business very much, after all,
since it appears tha6 the domestic
trade of the packers increased enor-
mously after the exposure. Edward
Tilden, president of the National
Packing Company, says that the in
creased domestic trade for July was
due largely to the big cotton crop of
the sonth. THE south has had an
enormous crop of cotton, and the coun-
try is full of money and prosperity, "
he said. "There has been considera-
BILE of demand for beef, and big
demand for ham, bacon and other hog
products. The south has never given
US SO much trade before. There has
been no yellow fever there, the facto-
ries are running, and the people are
living off the fat of the land. "

GLOBE DECIDES ID BECOME
 4 CITY
By Unanimous Vote at Citi- zens Mass Meeting It Is De- cided to Proceed With lncor- poration of Town.

At a mass meeting held in Globe a few days ago the citizens of that place decided almost unanimously to proceed with incorporation.
 Globe is probably the largest place in the southwest that is not incorpcr ated and a great deal larger than many towns that have reason to be proud and boastful. For some req. son there has been a prejudice in Globe against incorporation but il seems to have finally died away. The town had some sort of a village incor- poration years ago and that fact seems to have left a taste in the mouths of some of the old settlers.
 From the report of the mass meet ing, published in the Silver Belt, it appears that the old incorporation became a dead letter but there was never any disincorporation. Some one raised this fact at the meeting and it was feared it would stand in the way of legal incorporation now. Attor- neys present, however, decided upon plan to settle the legality of the situation.
 It was proposed to present petition for incorporation to the county super visors and then secure and injunction restraining them from granting it. The suit on the injunction case, which would be a friendly proceeding, if de cided against the applicants for an in junction, would leave the way open for granting of the petition and Globe can start with clean slate.

ATTY. GEN. CLARK DID NOT. KEEP
 HIS WORD
Public Examiner Foster, and He Stand in the Limelight of Political Jobbey, is the Prevalent Opinion.

A matter which occupied the atten- tion of the county officials of Cochise county and interested many in other parts of Arizona during the month of July was again given prominence dur ing the past couple of days by the visit of Public Examiner w. c. Eos ter. who has just returned from Tomb. stone. says the Phoenix Enterprise.
 Foster examined the different coun. ty offices at Tombstone last spring. and in the report which he submitted to Governor Kibbey, and which was afterwards made public, he saw fit to criticise various county offices, and the conduct of their offices.
 The different Cochise officers who we're held up for public condemna- tion by the examiner were thunder struck and indignant, claiming that the examiner had made an inaccurate report, and that the insinuations which it contained were unwarranted
 It was noticed at the time that the report only dealt with Democratic of flee holders. and that no mention was made concerning those of the politi- cal faith to which the public examiner and the governor adhere.
 E. s. Clark. the attorney general of the territory, appeared before the Co- chise board of supervisors to discuss different matters on July Il, and at that time the officers who had been criticized were present. After the attorney general had finished with the different matters concerning which, he had appeared, several of the county officials arose and stated that the examiner had made statements which were not founded on fact, and that a great injustice had been done.
 Specific instances were cited, and in the end the attorney general agreed with the officials and stated that he would have Foster make an amend ed report, and put it on record. This WIS satisfactory and the matter was let TPst. After months of waiting ars finding that no amended report ha ceen made, the matter was again tai-e1 up several days ago at Tomb stc . when Foster visited that place.
 a vas asked why he had not made ant filed an amended report in ac- cor aace with the promise of the at tOGA-s SeH6Idl, when He SCdLeu that Clark had never made any such re mark to the Cochise board of superyis- ors or to any of the gentlemen con cerned, and cited the attorney general as his authority for the assertion
 At the time the meeting took place report was published which con tained the names of number who were present at the time that the at torney general made the statement, he would have the public examiner make an amended report.
 It looks very much now as if the attorney general of the territory and the public examiner had joined in policitcai game, and were using their respective offices to land those of their own political faith in office by juggling with the good regulations of their opponents.
 The examinerss report which has referred to above was forwarded to the Republican district attorney, T. J. Flannigan, and it was noticed at the time that nothing was said concern ing the district attorneys office.

sSOOO FROM THE AR|z. FOREST
 RESERVES
The Money Is to Be Used to the Betterment of Schools and to Keep Up the Roads Near Reserves.

| While Delegate M A. Smith was
 ia Phoenix Saturday he made public a letter he has just received from Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot, in which he announces that nearly $S000 has been allotted to the schools and roads in Arizona from forest reserve receipts. The Letter is follows: Hon. M. A Smith. Tucson, Ariz. i Dear Sir: 4s you are aware, the agricultural appi opriation act for 1907, approved June 30, 1906, contains the following provision:
 That 10 per cent of all money received from each forest reserve dur ing the fiscal year. including the year ending June 30, 1906, shall be paid at the end thereof. by the secretary of the treasury, to the state or territory ir which said reserve is situated, to be expended as the state or territor. ial legislature may prescribe, for the benefit of the public schools and pub lie roads of the county or counties in which the reserve is situated; pro vide6. that when any forest reserve in more than one state or te ritory, the distributive share to each from the proceeds of sad reserve shall be pro portioned to it's era therein; and, pro vided, further, that there shall not be paid to any state or territory for any county an amount equal to more than 40 per cent Of the total income of such county from all other sources "The 10 per cent thus provided wiil be paid by the secretary of the treas ury, who will determine the exact dis tributive share of Arizona In the meantime I am exceedingly glad to tell you that the gross receipts from the forest reserves in your territory during the fiscal year just closed are 7e,766.S2, the revenue from each reserve being as follows:
 Black Mesa reserve, s16,52S.29; Prescott, $2.S59.13; Grand Canyon fN) s2.54444; Grand Canyon (S) sd d.00913: San Francisco Mountains s42. .57032; Santa Rita, s459.S0 Mt. Graham, s1,264.26: Chiricahua, s4,- 291 SS; Pinal Mountains, $291.S0; Tonto. sS,122.47
 Ten per cent of this amount, or s797G.47 is the approximate contri- button of the reserves to schools and roads in Arizona for the year just closed.
 "The proceeds from the reserves are likely to increase rapidly, so that this contribution, although it may not yet have reached an important figure. will ultimately pay a very considerable proportion of the exDenses of the coun- ties which are fortunate enough to have forest reserves within their boun. daries. Very truly yours.
 "GIFFORD PINCHOT,
