MiIady's Bath.

IL is said there is but one carbonic
acid bath in New York, and ii is lin
the home of very rich widow. The
apparatus as described is complicated
and expensive The acid is allowed
to escape from stout metal cylinders,
where it is stored under pressure, and
mixed with the bath water The eff

great freshness. The widow was ad-

ago for a heart disorder, the waters
at that celebrated German village be

ly carbonated. She dared not under
take the ocean voyage, and the arti-
fetal Nauheim was installed in her

SCULPTURE OF THE INDIAN.
Only Three Specimens OF Los Rock
Carving Have Been Found.

One OF the three known examples In
the United States OF the famous In
dian sculpture" on two of the i'm
mense rocks which form the great
falls" of the Connecticut river at Bel
lows falls has been entirely obliterat'
ed, not trace of the marking which
recorded some important event In the
history of the aborigines being left,
says the Boston Herald. The sculp-
ture was favorite subject OF discus
sion for antiquarians and developed
much controversy as to the manner
and time in which IL was made. When
first discovered il consisted Of group
of 16 or Is variously ornamented
heads plainly cut into the rocks. The
fiat space about Is feet wide and six
feet high and consisted OF four heads,
each surmounted with pair Of rays
and numerous heads without any dec
Grafton. On the other rock was one
large head with at least eight rays.
this head being IA inches across at
the forehead There may have been
originally also an inscription, but II
SO il had become obliterated by the
action Of the water years ago The
markings were supposed to have rep.
resented victory at or near Bellows
falls by four bands and their chiefs
under one principal chief The fact
that the action of the water has re-
moved what was discovered on the
rocks 100 years or so ago indicates
to not few that much more of the
record must have disappeared pre-
viously.

The Danube.

The Danube is not the largest OF

the way, who died only eight years
ago, was the composer Of 400 waltzes.

Hindoo Likes Many Clocks.

The Hindoo places a clock in his
room, not because he ever desires to
know what the hour is but because
clock is a foreign curiosity. Instead,
therefore of contenting himself with
one good clock. he will have, perhaps,
a dozen in one room. These clocks
are signs OF his wealth, but they do
not add to his comfort, for he is so
Indifferent to time that he measures it
by the number of bamboo lengths the
sun has Travelled about the horizon.

Gets Venom From Bees.

The bees were in a glass bottle,
buzzing fiercely. They rested on a
very fine wire netting and below the
netting was a transparent fluid. Ev-
cry little while the chemist stirred
them up with a toothpick and their
wrath redoubled. II am extracting
their venom, said the man. II am
making them sting everything in
sight. The venom drops down
through the netting into that r7uid,
which is alcohol, and make medicine
of it. These angry bees, in a word,
are assisting me to make medicine.

Color Blindness Amonu Girls.

An intelligent physician has dis
covered that color blindness is very
rare among girls, though it is common
among boys. From this fact he draws
the conclusion that in most cases
color blindness is due TO a want of
early education IN discriminating col
ors Girls are taught to become fla
miliar with every shade of colors,
while boys receive no instruction
whatever on the subject. Hence, boys
frequently exhibit an ignorance with
true color blindness, but which girls
rarely show.

1t was bad worse than other races, but

other races. 1t was counseled every
where to be industrious and decent,
while it was denied equal opportunities
to obtain employment and the sort of

White People PreVeHt Progress.
MANY of the white people say to the
colored people: You are weaker than
we are; you are inferior to us. But
when the cOlored people seek, as they
are doing. along industrial, educational
and political lines, to strengthen them
selves where they are weak, the white
people of the nation, in spite of their
boasted freedom, Christianity and civ
ilization, put themselves in the path of
the colored races progress.

the "mourners' bench" at last nights re-

scum.
For ten days the Rev. George C. Gates,
an evangelist of Georgia, and who is
known in most of the Southern States
as " the minister who can draw the
largest congregations and bring more

The structure is the largest building in

flowing at every meeting.
Conversions have been numerous. On
Sunday 200 went to the "mourners'

In voice which carried to the far

Men and woman wept in religious
fervor, and the Governor was seen to
furtively wipe tears from his eyes.
The revival services will be continued

ROUNDER
FORM NATIONAL NEGRO
LEAGUE
Sessions Held in MdHhattaH Last Week
for Organization, and President
Roosevelt Is Criticised.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
A national Negro conference. at which
there was organized the National Negro
League, a political organization formed
to put in the White House a man who
Will treat the Negro race with the great
est consideration" was held June 6 ard
y, in the assembly hall of 334 West Fif-
y-nlnth street, Manhattan. There were
three sessions of the conference. and
President Roosevelt was arraigned and
severely criticised for his action in dis
missing Companies B, c and D, Twenty
fifth Regular Infantry, as the result of
what has come to be known as the
Brownsville (Texas) incident.
Out Of the conference grew the league
and out of the league, in turn, it is pro-
posed to up-build an effective Demo-
cratic organization, which shall attract
and hold the Negro vote in many States
and intimately influence the Presidential
contest. The objects of the new organ
ization are given, first and foremost as
political, so that the Negro may gradu-
ally assume a stronger place in the ma
tons affairs. Here are the leagues of
ficers, elected at the conference:
Former Judge James c. Matthews of
Albany, N. Y, president; Edward Ev-
erett Brown, who is assistant health
commissioner of Boston, vice-president;
James H. w. Howard, secretary; Isaac
Walker of Jersey City, n. J., treasurer;
chairman of executive committee, Ed
ward E. Lee, and national organizer. P.
Hampton White of this city.
The states represented at the confer
ence were Ohio, Illinois, Indiana. West
Virginia, Maryland, the District of Co
lumbia, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
There were in all about forty-hve dele
gates. A resolution was adopted COM
mending Governor Glenn of North Car
olina for his " fair treatment of the
Negroes in North Carolina" and he was
praised especially for doing away with
lynchings during his administration.
P. Hampton White of Io3 West Tween
ty-ninth street. Manhattan, said of the
work of the conference: "The new
league just organized is going to work
in every State in the Union where Ne
groes are large part of the population,
and steps will be taken to change the
old order of things; there will be no
more faulty affiliations, no more gross
servitude"
Branch leagues will be organized as a
means of enlarging the sphere of infu-
ence of the organization.

Gratitude seems to be dying in the
heart of the nation, and bitter and
relentless race hatred and contempt are
growing to monsuOus strength in the
souls of the American people. Our
faithfulness to the women and children
during the war of the rebellion, our
heroism and self-sacrifce in defense of
the Union during the same war, are
forgotten, forgotten by the South, for
gotten by the North, in this period OF
reaction and commercial glorihcatiOn.
I'VE approve the stand Of President
Roosevelt in behalf of fair play and
square deal for all American citizens
as exemplified in the appointment of DR..
Crum and the Indianola post office at
fair. We deplore his discharge of I67
soldiers of the 25th United States In
fantry without any competent legal evil
dence of guilt as subverslve of funda-
mental right We trust that he will yet
see the injustice done these patriotic
soldiers who have devoted their best
years to make the nation glorious, and
will exercise his characteristic courage
in correcting this great wrong. We
also regret that President Roosevelt, in
an annual message, by implication az
least, holds the whole Negro race re-
sponsible for crime committed by few
"a pernicious principle which is applied
to no other class.

base enough to join; but, as colored
