new Line MEANS
CHEAPER RATES

From what can be learned among the
business men Of this city, especially the
people who ship large quantities. Of freight
70 and from New York. tho Inauguration
OF the new steamship line between This
port and New York is hailed with great
Joy. for Il means 20 them, according to
statements some OF these mon have made,
the saving OF thousands OF dollars every
year Tho grip OF tho railroads has been
growing tshtor every year and without
opposition the merchants were helpless in
their hands.
Exorbitant rates were charged by tho
railroads because they knew the mer-
chants had 70 use their lines 20 get their
goods or do without them, as there was
no other means whereby they could have
the freight delivered 20 this city.
General satisfaction Is expressed by all
the big shippers and from what can be
learned from them they intend 70 g'vc
all their patronage TO the new line The
rates OF the company viii be so low that
the shippers cannot fail 20 take advan-
tage Of the great opportunity offered
them
This. OF course. is very encouraging TO
the transportation company, and 20 sure
are they OF making the enterprise sue
cess that they are now arranging TO Sc
cure another steamer to nut on the Inc
with the steamer Dorothy, which Is NJ W
I'm service. Should another steamer be
placed In service there will be sailing
each dav from this port and New York M
stead of bi-woekly sailings, as under the

The need for more houses to be used rs

ing people. which tho large additions TO
an the manufacturing plants in The city
viii render necessity. has been greatly
felt BY all our people, and just how these
are to be obtained is considerable Of a

the erection OF houses 20 rent for what
appears TO the wage Garner as a-rtaron-
able rental unless tho land used is quite
a distance from the business center.
This is objected to by the workers as It
makes It impossible to have dinner at

tenants In these suburban houses.
Just how the demand will be met does
not as yet appear but certain II is that
more houses Of moderate rental are i'm

ERECTED LAST YEAR

over ssOo,Oooooo Shown in the Grand
Total
The records aud tabulations for 1906
have Just been completed and show that
the grand total expended in building dur
ing the year throughout the country
reaches s6ol 900. stupendous as IS that
sum. 1t has fallen considerably below ox-
pectations. II was confidently estimated
early In the year that s725,OOo,oOo would be
the total reached. The total shows a sein
o. a little over 2 per cent. on the amount
OF building done in 1905.
However proud we may be Of our
growth the figures represent but little
more than the value Of property we have
permltted 10 be destroyed by FIRE during
the same period. for our FIRE losses for
1906 have been IN excess Of s50o,0o0 00--a
loss that. says +. W. Fitzpatrick, the ex-
ecutive officer Of the International So
ciety Of Building Inspectors has never
been equalled in any country at any time
and that should mark the apex OF the ma
tion's folly. Further Mr.. Fitzpatrick ac-
knowledgedly the highest authority on
matters OF construction in the country.
contends that nine-tenths of these losses
are preventable.
In New York FOR instance, s'26,oo0.O'0
went into new construction, and Of that
not over s2OO0O.OO0 went into but par
TALLY hreproof buildings. and that in the
commercial metropolis Of the country-a
matter that certainly deserves the peoples
most earnest attention, and the Immediate
application OF the one necessary remedy
the better building OF new structures and
the prompt overhauling Of the old ones.

The Turk. as a rule, Is not energetic, but be Is capable Of sudden bursts of activity. A writer in CasseTs Family Magazine gives an Illustration:
 He was going home late one night in ConstanuuopIe when a man ran by him, pursued by four Zaptiehs. Direct, ly they caught the man they belabored him vigorously with the butt ends of their guns. The EnglIshman Inter fered
 If he is a thief, why not take him to prison and let htm be tried properly Don't half kill the man without a trial

PLANT PECUrIARITlES.

No plant will produce flowers unless there Is Iron In the soil in which t grows.
 All plants are provided with flowers though sometimes these are so smay and so hidden as to escape notice.
 The bleeding heart, according to au eastern legend, originated in tine drops Of blood which fell from Christs side at the crucifXiou.
 Every flower that has a perfume Qt all secretes a volatile oil, the evaDOra. ton of which constitutes the peculiar odOr characteristic of the blossom.
 The smallest flower known to the botauist is said to be that of the yeast plant. It is microscopic In size and Is said to be only One-huudredth of a mIl- llmeter In diameter.
 According to the poetical idea of Ca- tuIIus. the rose was once white, but blushed red and remained so out of shame for allowing Its thorns to lndIct a wound on the feet of Venus.

CAUCASIAN AND NEGRO.
They Are Fundamentally Oppoalto
 Extremes I'm Evolution.

They Are Fundamentally Oppoaito
 Extremes I'm Evolution.
 The Caucasian has the subjective fa0 ultles well developed; the negro the olh IectIve. The Caucasian, and more par ucularly the AnglO-SaNOu is dominant and domlneerlng and possessed prlma- ely with determination, will power self control. self government and all the attributes of the subjective self with a high development of the ethical and aesthetic faculties and great req saumg powers. The negro is ln direct contrast by reason of a certain lack of these powers, and a great development pr the objective qualities. The negro IS primarily uf'eCuOuate, Immensely emotional then sensual, and, under 5royocatton, passionate. There is lOy8 9f outward show, of ostentatiOn, Of ap- probation. He loves melody and a rude Slud of poetry and sonorOus language. There is undeyeloped artistic power and tQste--ussrOes make good artisans and haudicraftsmeu. They are ded- cleut in juGgmeut, in the formation of new Ideas y--sa existing facts, in de- vlslng hypou9-ses and ln making d6 ductlons in general. They are initiative rather than original, inventive or con. structlve. There is instability Of char acter incident to lack of self control especially In connection with the sex nal relation. and there is a lack of orientatlon or recognition of position and condition of self and environment evidenced in various ways, but by peculiar "bumptiousness," so called by Professor Blackshear of Texas, this Is particularly noticeable.
 The white and the black races are antipodal. then, in cardinal points, The one has a large frontal region of the brain. the other a larger region behlndi the one Is subjective, the other Objec. tive; the one a great reasOuer, the other pre-emineutly emotional; the one domL neeriug. but having great self control the other meek and submissive, but violent and lacking self control when the passions are aroused; the one a very advanced race, the other a very backward one. The Caucasian and the negro are fundamentally opposite ez. tremes in vOIution.-Robert Bennett Bean in Century.
