THE SHAH OF PERSIA
Characteristics of the Late Occu pant
of Throne and His Successor.

1t is said in European capitals by those who
have watched Persia carefully for the last ten
years that the Shah will attempt 10 rule his
people with a firmer hand than did his father
who died ON January s. Mohammed Ali Mira
who now occupies the throne. is a man of
stronger physique. ofsmore wilful disposition of
a more aggressive character than was the late
Muzaffar Din. Although he is the first Per-
sian monarch To begin his reign by being fet-
tered by a constitution and a parliament yet il
is,said that he will by means give UP any
more of the privileges OF his ancient office than
he Is Obliged to do. The present Shah has said
that he favors a constitutional monarchy, yet
not such as England but rather a more
autocrauc type like that of Germany Indeed.
he has been reported regarding the Kaiser
as the ruler above all others who is worthy of
his imitation.
The Shah who has just died did not enjoy i'm
perial power so much his son expects 10 do.
He did not delight in that grandeur OF the regal
Office Of which his successor is said to be most
frowned ON the existing system os official ex-
tortion and abolished the oldtine practice of
selling public offices TO the highest bidder He
granted constitution and parliament, which
changed forever the character of Persia from
a despotism TO representative government,
and yet he frequently complained that his solicit
tude for his peoples welfare was not appre-
ciated.
His action at the time he was crowned was

those localities In Brownsville, where the re-
cent riot of Negro soldiers occurred, there nave
lived very few Negroes. II is out or the oiack
belt
There are a number OF wealthy Negroes in
Texas. One OF them is r. NJ. Johnson. VINO
lives at COlvin. Lee County. His wealth Is CON
scrvatively estima ted at S125,O0O. This is john
sons own estimate. He owns farm OF 4UO
acres for which he has refused en- offer OF SO
per acre. He owns about $1,000 worth or live
stock. has $4,000 invested IN a grocery store
and is a stockholder in a number Of industrial
enterprises. He has accumulated this fortune
through his own efforts He is a comparatively
young man He has the respect and confidence
OF his white neighbors Johnson employs large
number OF Negroes upon his plantation. he is
an extensive grower Of cotton, and IN his bust
ness transactions he has always showed an aoil-
ity TO hold his own.
James Donovan is another wealthy Negro
planter OF South Texas He owns plantation
of 20f acres. all OF which is paid for and is
highly improved. He clears several thousand
dollars each year raising cotton and other crops.
The prosperous Negroes of the state have at
tractive homes. In Austin, Houston and many
OF the smaller towns there are some beautiful
residences which owned and occupied by
Negro families.
In the matter OF educating the Negro, the
plan which has been in force IN this state for
many years. OF placing that the same
plane with the whites in the matter OF per cap
ita apportionment and pro rata OF the funds de-
rived from local and county taxation. meets with
general favor on the part of the white people OF
Texas. II is objected TO by some persons. how
ever on the ground that the Negroes are. as
rule. not property owners and that they do not
bear their just proportion OF the burden OF tax
alton. There has been talk from time TO time
ot an effort being made TO list the taxable prop
erty OF the Negroes and whites separately and
giving to the support OF the Negro schools an
amount OF money each year based upon the
amount OF taxes that they pay TO the state II
this plan should be adopted it would mean
q failing of OF several hundred thousand dollars
a year IN the amount OF money that now goes
TO the support OF the public schools for Ne
groes
There Is little likelihood. however. OF the plan
that is now in force being changed The leaders
OF the Democratic party in Texas have always
advocated liberal and undiscriminating treat
ment OF Negroes in the matter OF educational
advantages al the hands of the state. The late
Ex-Governor J. s. Hogg advocate of

not been set forth in the ':Almanach" it is be-
cause Japan alone of all governments declines

refusal of the publishers TO include the Emperor
and Empress of Japan among the sovereign

naco and Montenegro are comprised therein, but
not the reigning dynasty Of Japan. despite the
fact that the latter is recognized as q
great power. Al! sorts of influence have been
brought to bear upon the editors in behalf OF
the Mikado. But the "Almanach" is extremely
conservative. and it is proba bic that some years
more will elapse before the publishers at length
consent to find place for the Tenno and for
the members of his house In Part l. among the
other dynasties OF civilized nations.

this state is expending approximately Sl.oO0,OOo

sum the State of Texas approprlates annually
SO 900 for the maintenance OF q state normal
they get instruction in higher branches of edu-
cation that embraced in the curriculum
Of the public schools. and $4,000 a year for the
maintenance of a state institute for deaf. dumb
and blind Negro children
The same provision is made by this state for
the education Of her Negro children as IS made
for the education OF her white children The
same per capita appropriation Of So year ap-
plies to all alike In addition 10 this per pita
appropriation, IN which the Negro children share
to the amount OF S914S2O for the current scho-
lastic year, the amount derived from local taxa
tion for tho support OF Negro schools is about
S3I50O0 and the amO ant of the county appor-
tionments for the same purpose $4,000. The
Negro wards OF the state looked after with
the care as the whites At present tho
Negro insane persons are kept at the same asy-
lurps the white insane persons but tho Legis-
lature at its coming session will be asked 10
make appropriation for the establishment Of
separate Negro insane asylum.
In the matter OF public school buildings for
Negro children they rank well with the build
ings which occupied by the white children.
In Austin and the other larger cities of the state
New-York tribune., 1907-01-13

there are handsome brick high schools ror the
Negro children. The ward buildings are also
large and substantial structures. Texas is doing
moro to educate the Negroes than any other
Southern state, although her Negro population
is much less than some Of the other states.
The normal school at Prairie View is recog
nized one OF the model state educational in
stitutions OF the South The buildings are costly
and we'll arranged and equipped. This institu-
ton is conducted under the direction OF Pro-
fessor F. l.. Blackshear. noted Negro educator.
He takes great pride in the progress which mem
bcrs OF his race making in Texas. He at
tributes this advancement TO the liberal and kind
spirit which this state has shown in providing
educational advantages for the Negro children.
The Prairie View Normal School. i'm addition to
educating Negro young men and women to he
teachers. nstructs them in industrial occupa-
tions OF various kinds.
1t Is said by those who have made a study
of the question that the Negroes of Texas are
of a higher class than the members of this
race in other Southern states that they
contribute more to the labor and general wealth
OF the state than is done by Negroes elsewhere
Considered a general proposition, the Ne
groes of this state prosperous Those who
interested in their advancement say that
this is largely due TO the fact that the per-
centage of iiteracy in Texas is much smaller
than In most other states where the Negro
population is large. The illiteracy of the Negro
population. twenty-one years old ard over. was
IN 1900 45.1 per cent in Texas; so per cent
cent in Louisiana; 532 per cent in Mississippi;
531 per cent in North Carolina; SIT per cent
in South Carolina: 476 per cent In Tennessee; y;
495 per cent In Kentucky. and 52.5 per cent In
Virginia.
There are approximately 100000 acres of
land worked by Negro labor in Texas This is
good showing in view of the fact that the
Negro population comprises only one-ifth of
the entire population OF the state The total
improved acreage of all farms in Texas Is about
100000 acres. OF this amount of improved
land the Negroes work about 10000 acres
The Negro population of the state Is confined
largely to the southern and eastern portions
II Is larger In the cotton and sugar growing re-
gions than elsewhere. Race troubles are infre-
ouent In the localities where the Negro popu-
lation Is large. This Is due to the fact that they
are better understood BY the white people OF

PARIS DETECTIVES
GREATLY PUZZLED
French Police Refuse to Di-
yulge Mysterious Arrest of
Beautiful Young Girl.

PARIS, April PA mysterious girl has
fallen into the hands of the Paris police,
who are greatly puzzled about her. She
refuses to give her right name. and be-
cause she refuses the agents of the law
suspect there may be a criminal reason
for 1t, The girl Is pretty dark k-haired
round-faced creature, under twenty years
OF age apparently. and seems to have
come from the neighborhood OF Cambria.
Some men saw her on a barge arrive from
Cambria. She had basket Of old clothes
on her arm. and was about TO walk away
when the men stopped .her. They asked
her who she was. and when she refused
TO give any explanation, they escorted
her 10 the nearest police station. Here
the girl at last condescended TO give her
name, or at least what she says was her
name. According to her story she had
long wanted to como TO Paris, and having
no money. mad concealed herself In tho
bottom Of boat which brought cargo
of logs to Paris, and had not been seen
by any one on board. The police have
investigated and have discovered that she
gave a false name and address at Cam
brai, and they announce their intention
Of holding the young woman in custody
until the mystery has been cleared up.
The theory has been advanced that the
young woman is the secret emissary of
society organized against aristocracy and
reigninG nobility.
