Memories.

| love to think of the days gon by
when l barefooted. free,
Would wander wherever wanted to
go, lazy and aimlessly.
| love to think of the path that led
thro' woodlands cool and sweet,
To the dear old stream where | used
to go to free myself from heat.
And love to dream of that river
bank and placid swimming place,
Where the willows swayed by the
breezes kissed the waters breast
with grace.
But | hate to think of the day when
all my dreams were put to cout,
When mother discovered my hair
was wet and my shirt was inside
It's a long way back to the dear old
days Of long ago,
When | was a kid with freckels and
a head of tousled tow.
don't suppose | would recognize
the scenes that then were mine,
The swimming hole, the meadows.
and the pathway for the kline.
love to dream of my dreams Of
then, as onward creep the years,
But there's one thing steals in them
that stops my flow of tears.
And that's the thought Of the day
when l was fogged with pad
die stout,
When mother discovered my hair
was wet and my shirt was inside

A Startling Comparisons.

Recent. railway disasters in the
United States have attracted much
attention all over the world. One Of
the results has peen the publication
Of comparative statistics which are
startling to say the least.
For instance, these statistics show
that out of every ], 900 railway en-
employees the ratio Of the number in
jured each year in the United States
is 1875; inSwitzerland, 25.3; England,
l1.8; Belgium, II, and Germany, "a.
Further, they show that out tof every
10000 employees the relative figures
of killed in the United States are
26.1; in England, 1873; Switzerland,
8.2; Russia. SO; Belgium, Al.
In the matter of travellers injured
France holds the lowest record in the
world, while the United States shows
proportionately 40 times as many as
Italy, 20 times as many as England,
eight times as many as Belgium, and
twice as many as Germany. Of
course, the United States has more
mileage than all Europe combined,
and runs more trains than Europe's
roads do.
In some cases the speed of its trains
is greater, while all Of it's rolling
stock is heavier. These matters have
to be taken into consideration, yet
there Is no way IN which coilsidera-
t:5l caa DC expressed in figures in
statistical; statements of this kind.

Those E'iuin Lt,,s> :.

A report from the Consul General
at Vienna. states that after expert
ments extending over q number OF
years a Hungarian chemist has sue
ceeded in producing optical lenses by
simple and cheap process that are
not only quite as good as the best
massive glass lenses at present used,
but that can be manufactured OF q
size three times as great as the larg-
est lens heretofore made.
The Importance of this invention
IN the field Of astronomy is obviously
very considerable. The largest glass
tense heretofore manufactured out OF
massive glass for astronomical pur-
poses has a diameter Of about 1.5O
meters (4.92 feet}, and it required
several years to make it, while the
price was several hundred thousands
Of marks (1 mark-23.3 cents.)
Such a lens can be manufactured by
the new process in few weeks at
cost of 1000 or 5000 marks. The
price of a glass lens Of the best Ger
man manufacture, with diameter CT
Is centimeters 1884 inches), is now
about 900 marks, whereas the price
of similar lens made by the new
process is about $50 marks.
Lenses OF smaller diameter for
Photographic purposes, for opera
glasses, reading glasses, etc, can BE
produced at correspondingly smaller
cost. The lens consists of fluid sub
stance inclosed between two unusu-
ally hard glass surfaces similar to
watch crystals, in which the refrac-
tive power and other characteristic
properties are so chosen that the
glass surfaces not only serve to hold
the fluid, but also combine with the
fluid to overcome such defects as are
scarcely to be avoided in ordinary
lenses. It is for this reason also that
the lens Is achromatic.
The fluid contained in the lens IS
hermetically sealed, so that no air
can enter and exercise a damaging
effect. The fluid does not evaporate,
and it's composition is such that its
properties are not affected by time or
by temperature. The co-efacient of
expansion, both of the glass and Of
the fluid, is approximately the same
between the temperatures Of Is deg.
Of cold and so deg. of heat. An
other advantage Of the lens is that.
on account Of the fact that the fluid
is not dense and the glass crystals are
thin. the whole lens combination
through which the light must pena-
trate Is very slight.

Mont Let Them Vote.

By vote Of thirty-seven to six the
Georgia Senate has adopted a dras-
tic election law. The measure now
goes to the house. where it will also
;eceive an overwhelming majority.
In order to vote under the propos-
81 law a man must own or pay tax
N $500 worth of property or be able
to read and write a paragraph of the
constitution Of the state or of the
United States.
If he cannot comply with these
provisions, and few negroes can, he
is entitled to register and vote if he
is descended from any man who
fought in any Of the wars in which
the United States or Confederate
State participated.
Last, he is entitled to register and
vote if he has a proper conception of
his duty to his state and to the ma
lion. Under the last named provis-
ion every white man in Georgia will
cegister. and once registered he will
have a life certificate and will then
nave only to pay his taxes to enjoy
the right of suffrage.

fined HEAVILY.
Judge Lands Imposes Maximum
Penalty on Standard Oil,
Chicago Federal Judge Finds Rookie
feller's Company $29,240,O00 for
Accepting Rebates.

At Chicago Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lam
dis, Saturday in the United States
District Court fined the Standard Oil
Company. of Indiana 9,240,000
for violations of the law against ac-
cepting rebates from railroads. The
fine is the largest ever assessed any
individuals or any corporation in
the history of American criminal jur-
isdiction. and Is slightly more than
131 times as great as the amount
received by the company through its
rebating operations. The case will be
Carried to the higher courts by the
defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the COM
pany is the maximum permitted un-
der the law, and it was announced at
the end Of a long opinion in which
the methods and practices of the
Standard Oil Company were merci-
less scored. The Judge, in fact, de-
clared in his opinion that the officers
of the Standard Oil Company, who
were responsible for the practices OF
which the corporation was found
| guilty, were no better than counter
feiters and thieves, LIS exact Ian
guage being:
1--WE may as we look at sit
uation snuarely. The men wro thus
deliberately violate this law wound
society more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coin or steals letters
from the mail.

BOUGHT LIBERTY.
Girl Won Heart of Guard With Old
Folk Tune.
Exile Who Devoted Talent to Russian
Revolutionary Cause Is Now Be-
come Roof Garden Artist.

From a cell in a St. Petersburg
prison to the roof Of the New York !
theatre is the modest jump just !;
achieved by Mile. Maria Ossipouna
Mieler, a Bussian prima dona, who,
from being a political prisoner in :
her native land. will shortly disclose
herself as an aspiring singer in the
land of her adoption.
Being twenty-three years old
though to do her no injustic, she
looks quite twenty FOUR, prison
walls were powerless to hold her.
After enduring the horrors Of Rus
sian prison for four months, she got
out and Is now breathing the air of
the home Of the brave and the land
Of the free.
Mile. Mieler is a native Of Find
land, and became interested in the
revolutionists. To them she dedica-
ted her gift of song, and became
noted for the concerts she organized
and took part in for the benefit Of the
revolutionary party in Russia.
Only the initiated knew that the
proceeds were to go to the revolu-
tionists, and apparently the aflir
passed off smoothly. But one morn
ing, when Nile. Mieler was asleep at
her hotel, she was rudely awaken by
nine members Of the St. Petersburg
police force who forthwith arrested
her and carried her off to prison.
Here she lay for days with no news
from the outside world, compelled to
listen to the cries Of other prisoners,
who were being tortured, in agoniz-
ed uncertainty as to her own fate.
A little Finnish folk song was one
Of the melodies Of happier days which
was continually on her lips. AS it
happened, one Of the guards who
passed her cell knew the song. 1t
touched his heart.
This guard befriended Mile,
Mieler, and used to bring her hot
water, the nearest approach to lux
ury that the prison afforded, and a
real luxury in that damp and bitter
cold. He also took letters from her
to her friends beyond the prison
walls, who thus learned where she
was concealed, and began Matching
out plots to set her free.
Finally, on January 18th, when
Nile. Mieder had been imprisoned
four months, a member Of the Or
ganization called up the prison by
telephone, and, using the password,
and representing himself as the sec
retary of the St. Petersburg chief of
police, informed the warden that
Mile. Mieller had been imprisoned by
mistake, and ordered her immediate
release. This was done.

Blacks and Whites Fight.

A dispatch from New York City
says the fighting element among the
whites and blacks in the vicinity of
l36tn and Fifth Avenue lined up ac-
cording to their racial prejudices
again today. This time to settle a
baseball dispute and when the ar
gument was ended fifty persons re-
ouired medical treatment and of that
number two will die. Probably five
thousand persons took part in the
fight, but the 300 policemen who dis
persed the mob after every one was
fought out, got only nine prisoners
and of these two were women.
The trouble started at ball game
where a white man and colored,
man had made a wager, and subse-
quently quarreled over the settle
ment. Presently the sight Of a white
man and a colored man fighting
started a general row, the crowd be-
ing about evenly divided in color.
Every sort Of weapon was used and
for blocks the constantly augmented
mob surged while the police reserves
from eightprecincts hammered away
with their clubs to break the tangle.
Occupants Of homes along the lines
of battle were not content to be spec
tators only of thc strife and from
windows and points of vantage on
the roofs every piece Of crockery or
furniture that could be spared was
hurled down upon the heads Of the
rioters with reckless irnpartiallty.
Even women and children joined the
fray.
John McCue. a truck driver, 80
years old, and Matthews Murtha,
aged IS years, an l,e j: us''er, r"cejv-
ed fractured skulls d It. :..'.,v-
ed to a hospital in dying coudition.
The injuries Of others ranged from
broken noses to serious razor cuts.
This occurred in the city Of New
York, where the negro is supposed
.o be nnch in favor. It only shows
lat the irre!:ressible conflict is on,
and that sections have nothing what
ever to do with it.

SUCCESSFUL DETECTIVE
q. T. Wheeler, a Cripple, Arrests Man
In Augusta.

The following story We clip from
the Augusta Chronicle of last Sun
day:
Paralyzed from his waist down.
and seated in an invalid's r,l-
Ter chair which he operates with his
hands and arms, G. +. Wheeler, spec-
tally commissioned as deputy sheriff
by the officials Of Orangeburg, S. c.,
came to Augusta yesterday morning
and arrested T. F. Bell, a middle
aged white man, big and strong, who
is wanted for larceny after trust.
BELTS alleged to have missed S110
which had been entrusted to him by
Wheeler. When the money was de-
manded of him, Bell was unable to
produce it, and shortly afterwards
left Orangeburg. Determined to pros
ecute him and recover his money, if
possible, Wheeler applied himself to
the task of tracking Bell. The sue
cess of his "sleuthing" is shown by
the fact that he learned, after much
effort and dilligent inquiry, that Bell
was in Augusta.
Wheeler presented his case to the
authorities OF Orangeburg, who were,
however, unwilling to send an officer
to Augusta, because they were not
certain that Bell could be so easily
apprehended, or was in this city.
Wheeler then requested that he be
vested with police authority, promls-
ing that he would capture the man.
Yesterday morning Wheeler came
to Augusta and wheeled himself to
the barracks. Detectives Howard and
Williams came to his assistance and
in short while arrested Sell, VINO
was found at work in one of the mllls
Of the city.
Wheeler remained at the barracks
until late Yesterday afternoon, when
he and sell left for Orangeburg. The
latter promised not to make an effort
at escape, and the crippled deputy
sheriff obligingly kept his handcuns
in his pocket.
When prisoner and captor lett the
barracks. Bell was acting in the ca
pacity of an attendant, assisting
Wheeler to operate his roller CHAIR
and lifting it over the curb stones and
rough places. No one would nave
thought that one was sher!1 ana
the other was a prisoner.

ghanies there will be 10 tunnels.
These five miles are estimated to cost
$4,000 per mile and yet the men
at the head OF the scheme are issu-
ing no bonds, are selling no stock
and are asking help from no lndlvl-
duals or towns. Several towns Of
some Importance are within few
miles of the route projected and
though offers have been made they
have refused to defect from what
they consider the best route. A d.
rect line and an easy grade are the
first considerations AID these are
steadily adhered to.

Over-CapitaliZation

Henry Clews, a New York banker,
in an address before the Chautauqua
assembly, declared that over-capltal-
ization is a crime on par with rebates,
railroad discrimination and otner
corporate abuses. Indeed, he went
so far as to intimate that it is a worse
crime because it takes from the bus
mess and industrial forces Of the
country, moneys for dividends which
were not really earned, especially
when over capitalization includes
watered stock. Mr.. Clews' address
produced profound sensation and
is now occupying attention through
out the country.
MIR. Clews believes that there is nc
excuse whatever for over-capltallza-
ton. So complete is information re-
carding the cost of almost any pro-
duct, SO systematized are all the de-
tails of their business conduct, so ex-
act are calculations of maintenance
and income, that no fnancier or body
of financiers is warranted in over
capitalizing any enterprise whatever.
Especially is this true, if the great,
est profit in the long run is sought,
because burden-some tariffs, eSorbl-
tant charges, extravagant expendl.
lures being made at the expense OF
the public, most exhaust the resourc'
es Of the public; while economic man.
agement contemplating the public
as we'll as the stockholders, tends tc
subserye the interests of all enabling
the public to produce more largely
and therefore expend more consider.
ably in what corporations have to
DISPOSE of. Mr.. Clews said that true
economy has yet to be applied to the
conduct of all our great enterprises
dependent upon public support:
In a large measure, Mr.. CleWs
deas are directly opposed to those
obtaining in Wall street and other
financial centers of this country
They look not merely to the profit OF
capital, but to the profit of labor;
for if honest capitalization require
only honest return on investment,
there is a larger surplus from pro
duction to be divided with labor. Mr..
Clews did net hesitate to point out
this fact, and so emphatically that
his address is regarded by economists
as much a plea for labor as denun-
citation of over ver-capitalization.
