An Irish Superstition.

From the London Spectator.
Supersttions as to it's being most I'M
lucky to meet woman when setting out
to fish, or upon any journey by sea, are
not uncommon. From a headland on the
Donegal coast the writer was one day
anxiously watching small smack beat

and stiff breeze. which had suddenly
sprung up. After long and hard fight
for it the little craft made the pier in
safety. and upon condolences being Of
fered the skipper on his recent hard
ships he said: Sure what better luck
could have? Didn't I meet red headed
woman in Sligo this morning the mo-

the boat" In this case the color Of the
womans hair and the fact of her being
the first person met with after the man
left his house seemed to be the determin-
ing factors in the days luck But in
other places the objection to such an en-
any hour of the day, it being amply suffi
cient to bring the ill-luck that any wom-

walking down to the boat. Only few
weeks ago the writer visited small fish

before getting his car to return home
was chatting to the landlady of the little
inn strapping young fisherman. who
walking down the road toward the
harbor, suddenly stopped. climbed over the
fence. and made his way to his boat across

charged with abducting the wife of Carmi-
MO Enccizza less than an hour after her
wedding.
EnccizZa said that he had left his fiancee
in Italy and when he had saved money
enough to pay her passage to this country
he sent for her. When she arrived at Ellis
Island, he says, the authorities refused to
allow her to land until the marriage cere-
mony was performed
The accused men accompanied Enccizza to
act as witnesses. When the party landed at
the Battery one of the men told him the
captain of the tug wished to know his wifes
maiden name as he wished to send her
present
He went back. but failed to find the cap
tain When he returned to where he left
his wife and friends they were gone.
Thinking he was the victim of joke, he
went to the home he had fitted up at 800 I'd
street Jersey street. but they were not
there. After hunting for them several days
he appealed to the police, who soon FOUND
the men, but not the woman.
The accused men denied knowing any
thing about the woman. They SAID that
after Enccizza went back to the boat a
man whom they did not know came up and
spoke to Mrs. EncciZza and she went away
with him.
Fearing Enccizza would blame them for
her disappearance they went back to Jer-
sey City They were committed for exam

<TILLMAN ON RACE EVILS.
Urges Repeal Of the Fifteenth Amend
meut

WILMINGTON, Del, August 29-At the
farmers fair. held at Brandywine Springs
Park yesterday, Benjamin F. Tillman ad-
dressed more than 1000 persons on 1.-The
Race Problem From a Southern Stand
point" He said the most serious question
that faces the public today is the race
question.
THE war between the north and SOUTH"
he said, was not n war of rebellion as far
as the south was concerned but that the
south withdrew from the Union because OF
the rights she thought belonged to her.
THE condition." he continued, is more
serious now than IL was in 1861, as there
are about 100000 negroes in the United
States today"
Senator Tillman attributed the present
race condition to politicians. and said that
the negro realizes that he has the balance
of power in many states. especially in Del
aware.
There will be time. not far distant"
declared Mr.. Tillman, when the negroes
and the whites will have each other by the
throat and one day We will wake up to
hear of terrible butcheries In the south be-
cause of the hatred existing between the
races. The fundamental error is the belief
that the negro Is the equal OF the Caucasian
race.
You can't make a white man out of a
negro by sending him to school. All the
brains and character Booker T. Washing
ton has he inherited from white blood. and
the only way to improve conditions Is to
repeal the fifteenth amendment"

RECORDS FOR DIGGING BROKEN.
Excavation in July for the Panama
Canal.

Again Col Goethals, the engineer-in chief
Of the Panama canal, has broken all records
for excavation on the line Of the proposed
canal, according to the monthly report Of
work accomplished. Just received at the
Washington Office of the canal commission.
Moreover. it is shown that the force Of EN-
ployes, SO far from being reduced. as has
buen reported is really far larger than at
any previous period since the work began
Details of the progress made during the
month Of May are thus set out in the tele-
graphed report:
Culebra division: Excavation for July was
T7O,57O cubic yards against 624,5 cubic
yards in previous month of June: 153.O93
cubic yards in July, 1906, and 1870 cubic
yards in July. 1860, and all the material
removed was taken from the canal prism
proper. - p s,...s- .-.s q. -.
1t will be seen that these totals show the
work for July. 1907. to be nearly five times
as much as for the same month of 1905. and
it may be stated that the average output
per steam shovel per month was IS per cent
greater. The rainfall, however, was only
GAS inches. against 17.43 inches in 1906.
There were 9.S miles of new track laid,
and So miles of old track removed. One
hundred and sixty-two locomotives were in
the service of this division. and an average
daily number OF G, 1G4 laborers were en-
ployed.
These excavation figures include work on
the Pedro Miguel lock and dam.
Colon division: During July three dredges
were in operation. and the total amount Of
material removed was 1922 cubic yards. p
Gatun locks and dams: Total excavation
on the lock site and spillway was "a, 76j
cubic yards, and the rainfall was 9.12
inches.
La Boca division: Total excavation was
1888 cubic yards. including work on sites
for locks and dams: rainfall 4.O7 inches.
Relocation of Panama railroad: Fifty
eight thousand one hundred and fifty-thr
cubic yards of material were excavated, and
liz, OO9 cubic yards were placed In en-
bankment.
Total force in all departments. exclusive
of the Panama railroad, July 81, was 24.16l
men.
Money order sales in the post offices In the
zone for July amounted to $347 ,S63S4. being
the heaviest for any one month since the
inauguration Of the money order system.
Police department records show 43l ar
rests for the month. against $40 in June IN
the whole zone On the 4th Of July there
were but nine arrests.

FORMOSA AUTOLESS.
But Chinese and Japanese Have the
Bicycle Craze.


Consul Julean H. Arnold of Tamsui re-
ports to the bureau of manufactures
that. although there are no dealers in
automobiles in Formosa and the island
has yet to see her FIRST automobile there
is In use there a large number of bicycles
He pictures the trade possibilities as fol-
lows:
bicycling is very popular with both the
Japanese and Chinese residents here B.
cycle meets In which Japanese and Chinese
participate are held twice each year in the
capital city. An advertising agent would
have undoubtedly found good material in
the picture which the last meet here pre-
Sented. Besides Chinese, Japanese and
foreign spectators lining the circular track
upon which the japanese and Chinese con-
testants We're racing their wheels, there
were about fifty tattooed-faced savages of
the head-hunter tribe. Some of the chief
after the fashion of the American Indian.
There were many American-made whees to
be seen in this meet. During the year 1906
there were imported 800 bicycles; of this
number only are put down as imported
from foreign countries: the other 312 were
imported from Japan. the ma jority being
American made wheels. There are no deal
ers here importing from America direct
Exporters must convince the local dealers
that they can save by importing directly
from the United otaies, In which event l
am quite sure that the number OF American
made wheels coming into this market will
increase. The cities here are provided with
good. wide. well-pavcd streets. The roads
into the country are being continually i'm
proved. There are no carriages nor tram
cars in use in the island, hence cycling
holds a strong position"

PRIVATE a1LLETTE's CASE.
Federal District Attorney Will Look
After His Rights.

At the request Of the War Department
the Department Of Justice has designated
the United States district attorney at
Grand Rapids. Mich, to represent Private
Cyrus Gillette and the War Department In
the civil proceedings about to begin in con-
nection with the killing by the soldier Of a
young woman who was hit by rifle ball
fired after a fleeing deserter at Fort Brady,
near Detroit.
The young woman was a Canadian visit
ing on the American side of the river. and
Immediately upon her death the civil au-
thirities of Detroit made a demand upon
the commander at the post for the sur
render of the soldier who discharged the
rife. That officer. however. had only
few days previously received official
order from headquarters, which was also
sent to all army posts. requiring him to i'm
medfately place under arrest, in order to
secure first jurisdiction. any soldier who
was charged with serious crime like man

obliged to shoot a person in the discharge
of their duty secured fair. unbiased trial

LITTLE CANADIAN SMUGGLING.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds obser-
vations on the Border.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the
Treasury has returned from an inspection
tour along the Canadian border. He spent
considerable time near Newport. VT. the
point of entry over the Boston and Maine
railroad, of most Of the American tourists
who have been in Canada. At this sea-
son Of the year the tourists are coming
back in large numbers. Mr.. Reynolds
visit was especially for the purpose of
inspecting the examination of baggage by
customs officers. So far as he could see
the United States officials handle the bag
gage of tourists with promptness and efh-
cheney. Ordinarily there is not much dis
position on the part Of Americans who
go to Canada to try to smugge valua-
BILE purchases in Canada over the line of
their own country. On all trains COM
ing across the border there are two Gus

there Is heavy duty in this country anu
among women there Is a great temptation
to bring over furs, which arc bought

California Fruit Crop.
rom the Los Angeles Times.


The fruit harvest year, soon to come to
an end in California. Is one of great re-
suits AS a rule our crops were abundant
The citrus fruit output was about large
as any in the history of that industry. The
decfduous fruit crops were moderately good.
OF prunes and raisins there will be fair
crop. The peach crop is excellent. April
cots and cherries were a little scarce. but
they are not among the largest or most
important of our fruit products.
Next year promises to be, so far as the
market goes, a better year than this. We
are told from all quarters that the apple
crop of the United States and Canada is
poor. There is no one other crop which
influences the fruit market so much as the
apple Our producers fairly protected
against foreign raisins prunes and nuts by
the Dingley tariff act. The carry-over
stock Of fruits Is not excessive. With
short apple crop generally throughout the
country the prices which oranges and de-
ciduous fruit brought during the past sea-
son will be surpassed In the next twelve
months.

mamma will attend to that And Mary
will play, with faithful accuracy, some
thing from Chopin or Beethoven or Men

watch her chubby fingers thoughtfuIly
and wonder when the selection will come
to an end. They will applaud too
when the >snd Is reached-for that is
good manners, and everybody likes Mary
anyhow. And then-well. Lucy Smith,
who has never taken lessons, Will roll
lick up to the piano and begin a coon
song" hands and feet will beat time all

hum the refrain: everybody will see the

mamma will make unpleasant side re-

A NEW SNAKE STORY.
Noxious Things Flee When the Beau

From the Nautilus.

From the Nautilus
Adjacent 10 the convent school in which
I spent my girlhood there lay an aban-
doned cemetery. 1t was overgrown with
weeds and grasses and infested by snakes.
When the glow Of ripening apples cleaned
through the thick foliage of the trees that
skirted il. or the blossoms of a bed of tiger
lilies in the midst shot up like tongues of
fame. we were sometimes moved to venture
within its confines. Some holder spirits
even went so far as to brave the reptiles
in their stronghold, and had been known
to wage victorious war with them. but
large and timd majority lived in mortal
fear and could not be induced To go near
the place.
Last summer | visited the convent and

Oh we took no notice at all of them,
