the dime museum ever had.
Myrtle Corbin, one of our four-leg-
ged girls, was a good drawing card
until she was married. In her travels
she found man from Kentucky and
married him Now she has three or
four children. They live in the Ken
lucky mountain region, and so far as
l know are perfectly happy.
Annie Jones was the best bearded
lady we ever had. She married lee

Of them are married. They marry each
other, they marry some one
who wants to get in on the salary
they make.
We got a lot of free advertising
out of Lizzie Mills, the big-footed girl.
We had an offer published of $4,000
to any man who would marry her. We
never had to make good with the mon.
ey, for no one would take her. If her
feet were concealed she was really
a nice-looking girl She had an at

CONSTANTINOPLE, May IL
Tewflk Pashe, the Foreign Minister
called at the British Embassy yester,
day. and made proposals in regard to
the Tabah question, which Ambassa-
dor O'Conner unhesitatingly rejected.
The Pasha was informed that any
compromise suggestions were quite
inadmissible and that nothing less
than absolute compliance with the
British demands would prevent dras-
tic action. The Ambassador also
warned the Minister that time was
running short and counseled him to
be under no misapprehension in re-
gard to the determination OF Great
Britain to enforce the Turkish evacu-
alton of Egyptian territory on the
Sinah Peninsula and joint delimita-
ton of the frontier. Tewfik Pasha re-
turned to the palace and an immediate
meeting of the Council of Ministers
was summoned.

IMMIGRATION AS 1T AFFECTS THE
SOUTH.

Immigration as it affects the South"
must of the necessity growing out of
present facts be largely a prophetic
study, yet not without a reasonable
basis in those facts.
This makes it more difficult, but not
less important. First among those
facts is that in the past the trend of
immigration to the United States has
not been southwark owing to certain
conditions maintaining in the former
slave States. In this connection the
! question arises: If those conditions
are disregarded and the trend turned
south, is there any reason that is
reasonable why the effect upon the
South should be other than that upon
the North?
The next fact that presents itself is
that large efforts are now being made
to induce immigrants to come South.
The efforts are, however, too recent
for their results to be shown by the
United States census, or even by the
last annual reports of the Bureaus of
immigration, except as to indications.
The result hoped for from these efforts
will be the surer because the General
Commissioner of immigration and the
President of the United States hail
the desire of the South to secure inn
migrants as a relief measure to the
North, where the flood tide has
reached the danger point. With this
view of the subject they both recon-
mend to almost an extreme degree
that the South's desires be seconded
by both encouragement and legal
enactments.
An additional fact of rather a per-
turbing nature is to be found in that
the very class the North has proved
the least desirable and wishes to be
rid of the class the South is tring
to secure-viz., Southern Europeans.
Our study must therefore include
the general statistics of immigration;
the effect upon the North and West as
shown by present conditions; the ef-
forts to induce immigration to the
South; the benefits and dangers at
tendant upon a rapid influx of for
eigners; the sectional features that
may differentiate and modify its eff
feet here from that found in the
North; and the duty of the Woman's
Home Missions Society toward this
rapidly increasing foreign population.

confirm the observation that one of
the principal constituents accounting
for the germicidal properties of to-
bocco smoke is the powerful anti
septic formaldehyde. The amount
present is more than just appreciate,
for If water through which a few
puffs of tobacco smoke have been
passed is tested for formaldehyde the
, result is strikingly positive. The
quantity of formaldehyde in tobacco
smoke would appear to depend on the
quality and kind of tobacco smoked.
Thus the cigar appears to yield more
formaldehyde than the pipe and the
pipe more than the cigarette. Posi-

Of the smoke issuing from the glowing

SAVED THE MINNOWS
But Florence Merchants Lost Several
Thousand Dollars Through Them.

FLORENCE, Ala, May 1.-THE
stock of the Surprise Store, one of
the largest mercantile houses in the
city, was damaged last night between
$4,000 and $4,000 by water from a
hydrant on an upper floor occupied
by roomers. Two young men had been
fishing yesterday and returned home
with a stock Of minnows. The min
nows were put in a bucket in the sink
and the water turned on to keep them
alive. In some way the escape was
stopped up and the water flooded the
building. The minnows were saved,
but somebody will face a deficit of
several thousand dollars after the
debris is removed.

But suddenly old Medicine stopped
his blows, reached down, picked up
the edges of the blanket and lifted it
up. We looked, expecting to see a
corpse. There was nothing wa@ever
under the blanket. Old Medicine
grinned at me as | stood with my
mouth open in amazement. We all
rushed up and examined the blanket.
1t was wet as if with blood, all right.
but the body was not there.
Then old Medicine pointed away
across the prairie. We looked and saw
a figure running toward US at top
speed. 1t was a quarter of a mile
away. When it reached us it proved
to be the little girl whom we had seen
placed under the blanket. We couldn't
explain it, and we didn't attempt to.
Old Medicine wouldn't say how it was
lone. and neither would any of the
other Indians, if they knew He would
only say, Wakan'-the great mystery

"A Circassian girl could be made in
few minutes. All that was needed
was a luuxriant head of hair or a
good white wig. Nothing else was
needed except a little bleaching ma
terial for the long-haired girl.
"Jo-Jo and Creo were the once ia
nous hair man and hair woman. Both
were completely covered with hair
real hair, too. There was nothing
fake about them.
The camel girl was a funny-look-
ing object. Whenever she walked she
walked away from herself. From the
thighs down her legs were turned the
wrong way If she stopped over her
knees would stick out behind like a
camels.
'Ivanovitch, the Siberian exile,
was one of the most versatile exhib-
it's. He was a hideous little fellow,
nearly covered with hair.
Zone day he would be the exile.
Next day he might go into a little
cage and be a wild man. He got
better salary for being a wild man,
but it didn't make much difference to
him which he was.
IF anything he would rather play
the exile because the wild man had to
try to eat raw meat. Ivanovitch did
MT like that very much.
Trip was the armless wonder. He
used to travel with Barnum's. Trip
was really good. He could write, sew,
feed himself and do anything else
merely by the use of his toes.
1--WE had a girl, too, that was born
without arms. She went Trip little
further and played the plano with her
toes. That is no joke.
Next to the Circassian girls snake
charmers were easiest found Any
body could go into a cage with the
snakes.
Bill Doris had the largest one that
ever played Cleveland. One of them
died at the museum. 1t swallowed a

ticularly those of the agricultural de-
partment and passing resolution that
the statistical year begin August 1
instead of September the Interna-
tional Cotton Conference adjourned to-
day, to re-assemIble next year if it is
deemed advisable.
President Maccoll spoke in common
dalton of the census bureau work, but
felt that radical changes In the meth
DDS of the agricultural department
should be made. To this President
Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation, agreed. ID. A. Tompkins, Of
North Carolina characterized the
methods as "a complicated system of
guessing" Various remedies were
suggested but as no agree ment could
be reached the matter vas tabled.
At the afternoon sessis the report
of the committee on b ing, ginning
and handling American lotion was re-
ceived and unanimously adopted. 1t
recommended that all bales be made
of standard dimensions; that hight
weight new burlap be used for bag
ging, or preferably cotton canvass;
that ten ties be used on all bales with
Egyptian style of buckle preferred;
that all cotton be sold and bought at
net weight; that a committee be ap-
pointed to have cotton baled as above
and submit same for a practical test
to consumers.
