BLUE EYES AND BROWN
Which are the Truthful and Honest
and Which the Cruel and Teach
erOuS.

No":hr"ncrS have an invincible ten
dency to assign virtue or goodness to
the fair complexion, wickeaness or
falSehood tn the dark. If one could
rely upon the test of novels it might
be argued that this prejudice Is weak
.nin4-tnv the villaiN. whether made
or female is sometimes blond nova
.jav> aHi IKE Acru;nr brunette. One
might almost venture 10 say that 1t
vas never so formerly. Perhaps there
is no sound reason for thinking that
the bluc-eycd are truthful. honest and
luvinr-in the sense uf affection and
rnn%tancy-rather than the brown.
But the striking reports on the as
S"ciati"n of c"mplcXion and disease
in hospitals. which DIR. BedloeS Sug-
~cSted long ago. and DR.. ShrubSall,
foremost among many. now Is carry
iNy oct have q certain bearing on
the point. says the Pail Mall Gazette.
They prove that dark hair and eyes
are supplantiny the light in this
rpun,ry---a fact which all Thoughtful
PERSON. have observed. But also they
demonstrate the reason-which is,
shortly. that the blond are constitu-
tionally untitled to endure the condi-
tions Of town life, and actually perish
in the foul atmosphere and the bar
barism Of the slums. Adults enter the
hospital in proportion far too great
aud children die. They must have
fresh air. wholesome exercise and
decent surroundings to keep in health.
But these are the conditions Of rus
tic life. which, as universal expert
cnce in all ages agrees, preserves If
it does not generate such virtues as
simplicity. truthfulncss and honesty,
which town life, favored by the dark,
corrupts.
Upon the other hand, the brown
eyed peoples assert that the fair are
treacherous and cruel. This is a COM
mon belief in Italy, where it might be
traced to popular reminisccne of
the blond Northerners, who ravaged
that haaplcss country from genera
ton to generation. But it is much
older. Plutarch cites a contemporary
epigram passed upon Cato, the Cen
sor, who was red haired and gray ey-
ed, which shows that it was current
even then. And it is an article of

Representations made to him, by DR..
r. +. Lee and other expert minerato-
bists and geologists, and what he
found by personal investigation sur
prised and gratified him, although he
already knew something in general
way of the immense and practically
untouched mineral resources of the
Cherokee hills.
Mr.. Dozier is very much pleased
over the prospects, not only for Kai-
nit, baukrite, thorium and other min
erals, and is satisfied that before
many years some great fortunes are
going to be dug from tile Cherokee
slopes. He is still pursuing his in
vestiwationS. but is naturally not very
communicative as to his plans or as to
the exact location of the prospects in
which he isintercsted.
Mr.. Dozier's explorations among
the Cherokee hills were undertaken
with the primary purpose of ascer-
tanning whether the coal edposits, Of
which indications had been found,
were sufficiently extensive and Of
such quality as would make it COM
mercially practicable to develop them.
He has had no reason to doubt the
existence of workable coal beds there,
he says. and will continue his pros
pccting in the nei ighborhood.
The immense value that mine of
good steam coal ut Rlacksburg would
have may readily be recognized when
il is remembered that Blacksburg is
in the very heart Of the Piedmont
textile distic,--only a few miles from
Charlotte, the Lowell of the South,
and is the junction point Of the main
line Of the Southern arilway ami OF
the Southern'< line from kingville,

transmontane line Of the New South

at any rate, but the Dragoman hon
estly replied that it was not so-a
blue eyed Governor they thought
must be harsh and cruel. And he ad-
ded that the feeling is general all
: through the Levant. BY the famous
code Of emu, an orthodox Hindu is
flatly forbidden to marry woman
with gray eyes or red hairA-perhaps
for this reason, though none is as
signed. In all cases it may be that a
tradition Of ruthless invaders from
the North has caused the prejudice,
since many Afghans, and many Per-
slams of the wilder tribes, are fair
hot to mention the British in mod
ern times. But that is an assump-
ton. @..-t
We are using the term blue-eyed in
conventional sense. AS a matter of
fact that color is the rarest by far
Of all. Some assert, indeed, that it
does not exist, and many doubtless
haven't seen it. Perhaps the rarity of
blue is not to be regretted, unless by
enthusiasts who set beauty above
charity and humanity. For all ami
mails which have blue eyes are more
or less "hard Of hearing" This is
generally known in the case of eats,
and it is equally true Of horses and
wild creatures. 1t is an instance Of
correlation, us Darwin terms the mvs-
terious law, and ore would expect TO
find it apply to human beings as is
alleged. Also we must admit that
blue or green or gray eyes have a
narrower range of expression than
dark. Perhaps, inded, the rair do not
respond 50 quickly to the impulse Of
the moment; of more sedate or cooler
temperament, they cannot meet a
word or though halfway and flash
back the answer instantly. At any
rate. brown eyes. which we call black,
have an advantage in power of ex-
preston.
1t used to be taken for granted that
savages possess wilder range Of
eyesieht and keenar observation than
civilized men. Common sense favor
ed the belief, and report published
by the surgeon Of the Western OPP
thalmic Hospital some years ago gave
an alarming picture Of the state Of
things among school children. But
persons who speak with authority

tion of late especially MeSsrs.

HIS BOY SAVES B. R. T.
PRISONER FROM JAIL.
Man Who Jumped from Coney Island
Train Clings to His Son and the
Company Balls Him Out.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Nathan Lieben-
thai, Of 81 Henry street. Manhattan. took
his young son to coney Island yesterday.
and when he got to the island, rather than
pay the extra fve-cent fare that the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company collects
from each passenger when he arrives at
the island end OF the route, Liebenthal
clasped his little boy in his arms and
leaped out of a window of the car.
He jumped right into the outstretched
arms of a special railroad policeman, Will
lam Wicks, who arrested Liebenthal and
took him to the Coney Island police sta
ton. where he asked that the prisoner
be locked up, charged with disorderly con-
duct.
mot unless you get that boy away
from him. answered Lieutenant Sheehan,
who was behind the desk.
IF you touch this boy III knock your
head off roared Liebenthal, shaking his
fist at Wicks.
Take the boy away from him. sug-
gested Wicks.
Hes your prisoner answered Lieuten-
ant SheehaD. land il you want the cid
man locked up you1l have to get the kid
away from him, for it's against the law TO
lock up boys as young at that.
Wicks pleaded for two hours, but there
was no way out OF the difficulty. Then
he reported back TO his superiols. and the
b. r. r. sent a bondsman around to bail
Liebenthal ont. 1t was decided that that
was the easiest way to settle the affair.

WOMAN WONDER
MARGARET M'MAH0N DEAD,
WEIGHED 500 POUNDS.
No Hearse Big Enough to Hold Body
and to Get 1t Out of House
window Was Removed.

Several difficulties and unusual features
were connected with the funeral or Mrs
Margaret Mcmahon, who weighed ABOUT
500 pounds. which was held this morning,
Shew as believed to have been the heaVl-
est wocan in this State. Mrs. Mcmahon
died Friday afternoon at the residence OF
her daughter, 751s Passaic street, and
death was caused by fatty degeneration of
the heart.
A special size casket had to be made
for thed eceased and a mason had to be
engaged to remove a window as well as
more than a hundred brick today TO make
an exit. Owing to the immense size OF
the casket and the weight Of the deceased
fourteen men were required to carry the
remains to the ordinary wagon used by
undertakers as there was no available
hearse big enough in this vicinity. The
remains were driven to st. Michaers
Catholic Church. A high mass of requiem
was celebrated by the Rev. Dennis A.. NC
CARTE, the pastor of that church.
Mrs. Mcmahon was S. years old and was
the daughter of Peetr and Rose Mcmahon,
and wife Of the late James Mcmahon. who
died three years ago. Two daughters, Mrs.
Julia Morehouse and Miss Anna McMahon,
and two sons, Bernard and James, survive.

BACK FROM WEST
DOREMUS, CASTLE AND L0-
GAN HAD FINE TRIP.
They Visited the Yosemite, Yellowstone
Park and Many Pacific Coast
Cities.

Many friends Of former Mayor Henry
M. Doremus. Police Commissioners Fred
erick Castle and James Logan, a local
newspaper man, are today congratu-
lating the trio on their safe return
after a sojourn in the West for hve
weeks. The party visited almost every
place of interest in the West, and one
place which they will long remember
is Yosemite Valley.
This place Is reached by wagon ana
saddle horse trail. and when the New
| arkers came within reach of 1t they
were informed that there had been a
genuine Wild West hold-up. The news
did not deter the travellers, however,
and they passed through the anou
valley, and the day following there
was a hold-up similar to the one the
party had previously heard Of.
All agreed they had a close shave,
but apparently no sleep was lost oy
them. Mr.. DGremus was told thar ne
would make a fine candidate for Cow
ernor. but he quickly changed the dis
cussion and drifted into the prosperous
conditions of the West.
The former Mayor said that he met a
number of former Newarkers during
his travels. He noted the growth OF
the various cities and remarked that
few had anything on Newark.
I'VE enjoyed the trip Immensely,
said the former Mayor. but in spite
of everything I'm glad to be back home
among my friends and relations. The
party intended TO visit Alaska. but
found everything booked so far ahead
on the steamers sailing from Seattle
that they gave up the northern trip.
From this city they went to Denver
without a stop-over. Next they went
to Southern California with a stop-off
at Colorado Springs. Stops were then
made at Santa Catalina Stands, San
Diego. st. Bernardino and Los Angeles,
and Oakland. Portland, Seattle and
Vancouver. b. C.
After visiting British Columbia the
party returned to Seattle and went
from there to Yellowstone National
Park in Wyoming. The trip East was
made by way Of Minneapolis, st. Paul
and CHICAGO.

CAPTURE
QUAKER CITY
IN FORCE
Crowd That Ever
Attended a Convention of
the Great Order.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-Opening
day of the Elks' convention week was
greeted with clear. warm weather. not
too warm, however, to make the day
unpleasant for sightseeing. While
thousands of Elks arrive Saturday
and Sunday, the real inflow of members
of the order did not begin until today.
From AIS a. M. when the first delega-
ton came in from Mobile, Ala, the
Elks came every hour and will be still
coming when the IL o'clock toast is
sung on City Hall plaza.
Grand Lodge members predict the
largest attendance ever at an Elk on-
vention. Grand Secretary Fred C. Rob-
inson, of Dubuque, Ia, said today that
the registration of delegates to the
grand lodge meeting is the largest in
the history of the rider. Philadelphia
expected a great army of visitors and
is fully prepared to entertain them.
The city Is decorated as 1t never has
been before and every day until Satur-
day will practically be a holiday. The
! streets in the central part of the city
are jammed with enthusiastic crowds
and the familiar Hello, Bill!' is heard
everywhere.
The convention of the grand lodge
will be formally opened at the Grand
Opera House tonight with prayer,
songs and speeches. The principal adj
dress of welcome on behalf of the local
lodge will be mad by Congressman
Moore, of this city. Mayor Reyburn
and Governor Stuart are also expected
to extend the hand of welcome. The
response will be made by Grand Ex-
allied Ruler Henry A. Melvin, of Cali
fornia. Judge Melvin may speak only
a few minutes, as he has a cold, which,
however, is rapidly yielding to treat
ment.
The first official entertainment of the
members of the grand lodge took place
at noon at a park on h New Jersey
side of the Delaware River. The mem
bers and their ladies were conveyed
there in specially chartered steamers,
which before landing made a tour of
the river, passing the League Island
Navy Yard and the big shipbuilding
plants. The festivities at the park
began with a clambake n sea food
dinner.
The Headquarters of the Grand Lodge
officers at the BelleVue-Stratford Hotel
were damned with new arrivals, all
anxious TO register and get into the
merrymaking and sightseeing which
made UP the greater part of the days
program. Those who did not go to the
clambake spent the day In greeting
new arrivals or in visiting the many
historic places in Philadelphia and
vicinity. Independence Hall in which
the old Liberty Bell hangs, was the
~favorite place for most Of the visitors.
The political side of the conventin Is
looming up strong today. Every candi-
date for grand lodge honors is either
here or is represented by energetic
agents, who %buttonhole every delegate
that presents himslf for registration
John x. Tener, of Charleroi, Pa, the
grand treasurer, q candidate for grand
exalted ruler, seems to lead for that
honor and his election Is freely pre-
dicted. Dallas. Tex, appears to have
the field to itself at present as the place
for the next convention.
