The Colored Supplement Horror.

A writer, quoted in American
Motherhood, says of the colored sup
plement which accompanies so many
Sunday papers: "It would not be SO
bad if these wretched perversions Of
so innocent and helpful relish to
life as the comic only reached per-
sons Of mature life. Even readers
whose time is so valueless that they
can afford to waste more than a
glance at O. Sunday supplement must
realize how worthless pictures of this
sort really are. 1t is the children
who suffer. for they absorb uncol-
sciously the unsavory quality of such
efforts to amuse, and are thus the
involuntary victims of voluntary and
responsible corruptionists. At time
when this country is seriously trying
to implant knowledge of and stimu-
late ta.~tc for hettcc things, artis-.
t.c and aesthetic, through exhibitions
in museums, libraries, and even Sum
day-schools, it is not little 0isheart-
e1ing to realize that every step in
this direction gets weekly setback
through these colored atrocities.
= There are certain negative re-
suits at least that parents have
right to expect from every educative
force that is brought to bear on their
children; that these children shall
not be deliberately taught disrespect
for old age, or for physical infirmi-
ties and deformities; that they shall
not learn to cherish contempt for
other races or religions than their
own; that they shall not take salts
faction in the tormenting Of animals
or weaklings. A morbid
gloating over the Deficiencies and hu-
miliations Of our neighbors is pretty
sure to develop vulgarity and a lax
moral fibre in ourselves"
Another writer, speaking through
the same magazine, says of the charm
these colored pages have for children:
'The thought came to me that the
charm lay in the contin-
ued action of the pictures.
The child is interested in what things
do, rather than in what things are.
Children's books and periodicals
show that action in pictures is be-
coming more and more popular. In
the latest pictures the characters are
all doing something; =
| movement appeals to the child; his
first stories are pictures, and for a
long time after they cease to be the
only ones he reads, they remain his
| favorites. The best story in words
will usually make the best story in
| pictures if it covers only short
period in time, and is not wanting In
movement. The standard Of purity,
in morality and in style of these pic
ture stories should be as high as that
of the word story" y."-Stella G.. Dysart

Does credit to your judgment. Must
see her when it's over
Percy could hardly credit his ears.
This, indeed, was the very acme of
happiness.
The old man ard his son waited on
Miss Fanny Fairlie after the ballet
was over.
Fanny, darling" cried the lover,
this is my father, who is almost in
love with you himself, don't you
know. It's funny, isn't it?'
Il think l have met Miss Fairlie
BEFORE" said Mr.. Quibble, coolly, ar
ranging his eyeglass and looking the
lady full In the face. She was Lucy
Lightfoot then
Il am quite sure you did, she re-
piled, returning the stare as coolly.
Poor Percy was puzzled.
Let me sect was at the Daisy
Music Hall twenty-five years ago,
wasn't it,"
You've an excellent memory,
Archie" replied Miss Fairlie. Per
haps you remember other things,
too?'
Rather, Fanny" replied Mr.. Quib-
bic, chuckling. You're almost as
fresh as ever, and as cunning, too, l
see."
How much will you pay to get
out of this mess?" asked Fanny,
Five hundred-cash down. Take
it, Lucy, and don't bother any more" :"
Fork over, old man."
Poor Percy's little brain was in a
whirl. He had no power to inter-
fere. The crisp greerbacks were
passed over, and Fanny said:
''Ta-ta; but do you know that my
real lover is little Jerry Traddles-
old Toms son? He was only child
when you and l were chums, Archie.
He's in Cleveland now. We shall
have a roaring old time when he gets
back"
Then she skipped off,
You're a nice fellow, you are:"
exclaimed Mr.. Quibble, as he but
toned his overcoat. Come along.
I'll leave you to your mother now,
and what laugh she will have at
you for your insane infatuation for
that seasoned beauty. Why, she was
a heart crusher twenty-five years
ago."
But don't you think it would be
well if you made little of the affair,
sir, in her presence, and helped me
to get off lightly?" said Percy.
He had realized the situation by
this time.
"Why should I, you scoundrel?"
Don't you remember that you
were one of her admirers, my dear
fatttcr?"
80 old gentleman was silent for
3 time.
"By George!" he exclaimed, after
a minutes thought, you're not such
a fool, after all!"-New York Weekly.

Looms in France Between
Catholics and Government.
SITUATION IS RIDICULOUS
ALLEGED That Pope Has Decided to
Attempt Overthrow of the Re-
pubIic-Governmen Maintains
Firm Attitude.

A Paris special says: The press
unanimously recognizes the extreme
gravity of the religious issue In
France, precipitatei by the popes in
tansigcnt attitude, and many papers
predict veritab,e religious warfare.
The governments calculations have
clearly been upset and new legisla-
tive authority may be necessary to
enable it to core with the situation.
1t having been decided that aftea.
Tuesday religious service may not
be held without G preliminary decla-
ration under the law OF 1881, the
nopes order entails the immediate
initiation of prosecutions in $4,000
communes and logically the invasion
Of churches by the pc-icc for the
purpose of pronouncing their dissolu.
ton and exrelling the parish priests.
Tie militant Catholics seemingly hall
with enthusiasm the prospect CT war
fare and the attendant excitement
ol religious passions.
NJ. Jaures. the socialist leader, pro-
fesses to believe that the vatican has
deliberately decided to test the
strength Of the party Of reaction in
an attempt to overthrow the republic.
The socialist organs generally, how
ever, regard the pope's instructions
as being the result Cf the govern.
mc1t's weakness il offering any con-
cession beyond the formation Of the
cultural associations contemplated un-
der the law of 1865, and declare that
the government now has no alIerna-
tive except to insist on: declarations
being made to show the ecclesiastics
the door,.
The conservative papers advise the
governmen. to: remain true to, Its lib
eral principles, ccntending that the
more the church is intolerant and
panic-stricken, the more authority it
will need, provided the government
does not lose its head.
The government has made prepara-
tions to cope with the situation, but
is keeping them secret. The cabinet
maintains resolute front. Instruc,
tions to the prosecutors were tele'
graphed broadcast Monday.
Premier Clemerceau is quoted as
saying:
IF the church elects tc have war
II will have it, but the world will
bear witness that the vatican is like
foreign power trying to dispute
the authority of the French govern
ynent.'
N. BRAND, minister cf public wor-
ship, says he thinks the pope yielded
to the import,aaities Of the ultramon'
taines, who are over-possessed with
the mad idea that out Of disorder
and civil war they will emerge trium
rhant. The government ncw does not
face a revolt Of the consciences OF
French Catholics, but purely politi
cal enterprise"
The situation is likely to be fur
ti1er complicated when explanations
of the governments intention will De
demanded.

Firebuq Saved by Sheriff.

Charged with the burning Of the
stable and barn of Mr. P. N. Boo
zer, in which seventeen mules, fl.
teen bales of cotton and a large
amount of hay ard cotton seed were
ccnsun.ed at an early hour Saturday
morning fifteen miles west of New
berry, three negroes, Lewis Burton,
Ernest Burton and Levi Ebo, have
been arrested and lodged in the coun-
ty Jail by Sheriff Al. NJ. Buford.
Lewis Burton, it is said, has cor
fessed to the. crime and implicated
the two other negroes. No reason is
assigned for the crime.
Feeling runs high against Lewis
Burton, who was captured by tire ci,-
liens OF the community, and had it not
been for the presence of some cooi-
headed men, among them Sheriff Bit
ford, who pleaded with the crowd tc
let the law take its course, it is
probable that the negro would have
been lynched. Much credit is due
the citizens of the community in al
lowing the law to take its course IN
this case.
There are many WHO think that this
burning is the work CT an organized
band CT negroes. This opinion is Tot
shared by all, however, and it is
hoped that such is lot the case.

Constable Kills Negro Woman.

Constable Kills Negro Woman.
CorsLble ]. Y. Floyd shot and Kill
ed Malinda Williams, a negro woman,
at her home, ten miles west OF New
berry. The coroner's jury returned
a verdict of accidental homicide.
FLOYD went to the woman's house
to collect an installment due on a
Bible which she had purchased. Ihe
woman refused to pay the amount
it was claimed, and put the book In
the corstable's buggy. Words passed
between them, resulting in Floyd
striking her with his whip. The Wo-
man resisted the attack and broke
the whip. The constable then drew
his pistol, it is stated, and was beat
inc her over the head when it wa:
discharged, the ball entering the head
al the base of the brain. .....
The woman's husband was pres
ent at the time, and the above ac'
count is said to be practically his
testimony.
Bail was at once granted the con
stable in the sum of $500.

DEADLY FIRE AT CORNELL
Four Students and Three Fircmen
Lose Life in Burning Of Chi Psi
Frat Hall Of Great College.

-. Seven persons met a tragic death
Friday morning in the worst disaster
that ever befell Cornell University
at ithaca, N. Y. Three of the victims
were volunteer lremen OF the city of
Ithaca, and four were students Of
Cornell University. The firenen all
were prominent in ithaca. They are:
A. S. Robinson, attorney; John Rum
sey, hardware merchant; Esty Ian.
Gon, salesman.
The students were: o. L. Schmuck,
Kanova. Pa; F. W. Grelle, South Or
ange, N. j.; ". H. Nichols, Chicago,
ILL.,; J. nj. McCutcneon, Pistsburg, Pa.
Schmuck got cut Of the building,
but went back for his roommate,
Nichols, and il the attempt to res
cue his comrade, he was SO seriously
injured that he died in the hospital.
One student, G. j. Pope, a fresh
man, of East Orange, N. j., was seri-
ously injured, and three others we're
slightly injured They are R. II. Pow
ers, senior, of Atlanta, Ga; w. W.
Gcetz, a sophomore, Of Milwaukee,
Wis, and H. M. Curry, Jr., sopho-
more, of Plttsburg.
Rumsey, Landon and Robinson, the
Ithaca volunteer firemen, had manag-
ed to train hose on the north side
of the house when the wall tottered.
There was a Cry of alarm, and sew.
eral men standing near managed to
get out of the way, but the three
named were caught under the mass OF
debris, and killed.
A few minutes after the flames
were discovered, the Chi Psi chapter
house was all ablaZe, the flames, fan
ned by a strong northwest wind, and
the students were trapped in the dor
mitory on the third floor. Many OF
The boys jumped to safety, while those
who hesitated We're carried to the
ground by the falling walls.
No alarm, was turned in until half
an hour after the fire had been dis
covered, and it was half an hour later
before the volunteer fire department
could get to work. There was long
climb from the lower part of the city
Ia the college grounds, and by the
time the firemen arrived the interior
of the guiding was almost burned out.
They could do nothing but prevent
the adjoining buildings from taking
fire.
The money loss is nearly 100000,
since the original cost of the building
erected BY Mrs. Jennie McGraw F1ske,
was about s15O,Ooo, and extensive H.
terror decoration had been made.
The cause of th2 fire is unknown
though it in SUSPECTED that 1t started
in the kitchen. Cornell University
is inmeasurably appalled, by the ter
rible catastrophe, and academic Work
is almost suspended.
The burned building was built pY
Jennie McGraw F'iske, the benelactor
OF Cornell, whose will was contested
nv her husband, Professor Willard
Fiske.
Mrs. FisRe died abroad, seeking help
for an incurable disease, and never
entered her beautiful mansion alive.
Her body was taken there for the op'
sequies.
