Writing to a friend in the country.
a New York merchant says: "I live
in the electric light. ] leave my
home at O'Clock, after dressing and
taking my breakfast by the electric
light Then | go to the subway, one
block distant, and ride to within a
block OF my Office. There work all
day by electric light and go home
again by the subway and spend the
evening in the glare OF the mean
descent lamp. The weather condI-
tions make no difference, because my
fiat and my office belong TO the semi
dark kind. Sometimes / wonder what
I would do without electric light.
and sometimes ! ask myself when I
yearn for a little sunlight. Is the
new light really n blesslng?"

WHAT BRYAN SAYS

The senate has appointed n COM
mittee on ventilation" and Senator
Dupont is chairman. There are sew
eral things about the senate that
should be thoroughly aired.
The ship subsidy promoters are
now calling It rounding out the
policy OF protection" That sounds
good. but what the country needs is
TO have the protection policy trimmed
on on the square.
The government is printing Presl-
dent Roosevelt's researches I'm Pana-
ma in book form and selling It at
so cents per volume, Poultney Bige-
low is of the oRnion that the price
is 40 per cent too high.
Mr.. Hartman Indignantly donle1
that he controls more miles of rail-
road than any other man. He merely
controls the men who control more
miles. 1t Is only fair to Mr.. Harri-
man that the press make this cor
rection.
Really It would seem that If the
railroads impose fine on shippers
who delay I'm unloading cars, the
shippers should be allowed to i'm
pose a fine on road that delays
cars that the SHIPPERS are anxious
to unload.
A mining expert says there will be
moro digging for gold IN 1907 than
ever before. Sure. Everybody will
have to dig more for all that they
have TO buy. The price of everything
but work Is going up by leaps and
bounds
Doubtless President Roosevelt has
considered the important fact thai
every time he has done the right
thing he has been compelledeto rely
on Democratic representatives and
senators to rerrl the attacks Of an
tagonlsts within his own party ranks.

The Senator has never since spok-
en- to the President. That they re-
spect each other. however. is evil
denced by the utterances of both. But
there is scarcely any likelihood that
Mr.. Tillman will go TO the White
House as long as Mr.. Roosevelt Is
its occupant. He receives invita-
tions to all the Presidents public
recel'tions, as do all the other mem

THE VALUE OF

Sir William Gull, the great Eng

OF quiescense have been necessary to

Don't get so Immersed I'm one pur-
suit that you lose appetite for all

Stop long enough in your work to

concentration without relaxation IS
the road to the madhouse.

ASSASSINATION

Assassination has never yet won n
victory for an individual, a party or
cause-and It never Will. The
murder OF Lieut. Gen. Pavaloff adds
another To a shamefully long list OF
similar crimes in Russia. but, like
all those that have gone before, this
one will bring no fruits TO the assas-
sin and his friends. A class OF peo-
fle, whether under car or presi-
dent, who resort 20 the torch and
the bomb are not entitled to liberty.
The man who slays I'm the dark or
who shoots down in cold blood and
the party which supports such a man
are unfit for self-government. The
yoke OF national oppression can't be
broken by numbering individuals -

PRAISE FOR

what the conditions wore then and
what they had been before the war.

clared, that never In the history OF
the human race has there been such
educational l'rogress ms I'm tho 40
years In the South. lt is little APP
pretended here in New York There
was no public-school system what
ever before the Civil war.
To-day there is not single South
ern state that has not publIc-school

ern state where some provision Mt
least is not made for higher educa-
tion. The negroes are provided for
as well as the whites, and the white
people OF the South are enthusiastic
over the educational institutions for
the negro. This is notable, I'm view
OF the fact that prominent freed
mans association split at the close
OF the war over the question of edu-
eating the negro
Dr. Albert stated that the Tuske-
gee Institute was started and endow-

HOW PORT
ROYAL VANISHED
SLID INTO SEA WHEN EARTH
SHOOK TWO HUNDRED
YEARS AGO.

For more than 200 years ships
have steamed and sailed over the
first English town OF Importance in
Jamacia TO reach Kingstown. This
was Port Royal, which in 1892 disa-
peared with its inhabitants into a
fearful earthquake chasm and slipped
TO the unknown depths of the sea.
Port Royal, at the entrance to the
harbor OF Kingston. was the home
Of the pirates OF the Spanish main,
probably the wickedest cutthroats
that ever trod a deck. who swarm
ed into Jamaica when the little is
land of Tortuga became crowded
Henry Morgan, chief among the
degenerate buccaneers. was a Welsh
man. He reformed, after he had ac-
quired vast wealth by his pirates and
the sacking OF Spanish cities, OF Car
tagena. Porto Bello and Panama. and
In reward for his services was knight
ed by Charles III OF England Then
he turned upon his fellow pirates and
for space they knew no rest. for
he hanged them and he shot them
and the grewsome gallows-tree was n
familiar object on the sandy Palisa-
des.
But while the buccaneers lived
and before Sir Henry turned against
them, what time they had I'm fair
Port Royal. The streets OF the pirate
city resounded with their reveries,
its sands glittered with the gold they
had gathered I'm from the Span!ards:
open hogsheads of rum and wine
stood at the corners for all to par
take-and woe 10 him who refused.
Well was the port known, far and
near. as the wickedest city I'm the
universe as well as the richest i'm all
the West Indies Hand-in-IIand with
the pirates were the slaves from
Africa. and Bryan Edwards, jana
ica's historian. says that more than
coo, 900 unfortunate negroes were
landed at Port Royal within a CEN
tury.
Then the end came. suddenly and
awfully, i'm the year OF grace 1892.
On the seventh of June, wicked Port
Royal slirhed of into the sea. carry

chandise, wharves. warehouses, dwell
lings, church and portion OF the
fort, along with great many OF the
most ungodly people on the face OF

destroyed, and but a few structures
OF any sort. including one OF the
forts, remained on the sands.-Phila-

LAKES OF READY
MADE SODA

One of Mexico's treasures is its
ready-made soda. Under the blazing
sun OF the great desert south OF
Yuma, at Adair bay, surrounded by
bleak and barren sand dunes, lie
vast lakes OF crystals OF carbonate of
soda, to all appearances great masses
of snow and ice. but in reality a
substance which some day may be
making millions OF tons OF soap and
millions OF panes of glass. At only
one other place in the world is natur-
al soda found under conditions which
admit of industrial development, and
at that Iface must be shipped several
hundred miles by rail, and many tons
OF water must be evaporated by coal
to obtain a ton of the product. The
lakes are within 300 yards Of the
sea, and the fierce sun and heat OF
the desert attend to the evaporation.
The worlds consumption is large,
amounting to several hundred thous-
and tons annually; and at present
nearly all of 1t is manufactured from
common salt and with the use of
expesnive machinery. At Adair bay,
in Mexico, when the temperature Is
right, the water of the lake crys-
talizes into pure carbonate OF soda.
Nature doing what man must re-
quire expensive machinery and vast
amounts OF coal to do.

ANVIL SPARKS.

Believe in something with your
whole heart. The man without faith
is man without force
The course of least resistance may
be all right for a river, but it Is a
mighty poor road for a man.
Fear to do right makes towards;
fear to do wrong makes heroes.
Don't get the habit of making
black and white studies OF your fell
lows; half tones are truer to life, and
more generous.
To be content means serenity: to
be satisfied means stagnation.
