IMMIGRATION AND ABSTRAC-
TIONS.


Abstractions, If properly qualified
and excepted, are very well in es-
SAYS, but for the purposes of news
paper editorials, practicability is an
essential. We read with some pleas
ure an academic discussion in a pa
per OF the immigration question, by
one, who apparently fears that the
American national type is not suffi-
GENTLY strong to Stand the injection
of alien blood from Europe, and for
that reason the paper was made to
say that the south should not en-
courage immigration, even though
we should thereby be passed by the
scar of progress"
Aud yet, We have seen in that
same paper articles, advising the Inn
portation OF southern Europeans to
supplant the negro as the laborer in
the south, dream so visionary that
AZ has so far discouraged efforts in
nearly every part OF the south to In
duee desirable immigration.
The array of argument in this ar
ticle indicates that it is by way OF
special pleading. and consists princi-
pally of the discussion of questions
begged for fhe occasion. .~a<.

CONVICT'S SMOOTH JOB
Saws Steel Bar on With Rawlings
From His stockings.

Leavenworth, Sept. 7.-When War
den McClaughry goes to the national
prison congress in Chicago this fall he
will take along something that will set
the prison men of the country to
thinking. 1t will be in the shape of a
piece of steel, about eight inches in
length, and of about the same thick
ness as a broomstick.
This piece of steel was cut out of
a cell in the new United States peni-
tertiary by Bob Clark, one of the
famous mutiners, now serving a life
sentence. Did Clark have saw? No,
indeed.
The feat of Clark was one of the
most remarkable ever performed by a
convict making an effort to escape.
Clark cut the steel bar out of his cell
with the strings unraveled from his
prison socks.
Warden McClaughry gave Clark a
string and piece of sand paper and
told him to go to work on another
bar. He wanted to see the work done
with his own eyes. He posted a guard
to see that Clark didn't shirk in his
work. Clark started in on the job at
1890 in the morning and at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon he had the bar in
two. He used only one string. When
four or five strings out of his old
socks. He consumed eighteen hours
when he sawed the bar in an attempt
to gain his freedom. Then he had
nothing but sand to put cutting dis
position to his strings. When he had
sand paper he naturally could work
faster,

With a mighty drive the noted Chi
cago golfer sent the small ball flying
a tremendous distance toward the lit
tie, far-away red flag. Then, as he
strobe on over the fresh turf, he said:
You find golf stupid because you
don't understand 1t. You haven't mas

Hottentot. Two white men in Africa
laid out for themselves a nine-hole
course, and here in the wilds, morning
after morning, they played, though the
sun was hot, and though the dry and
sandy soil left them almost continual
ly in the bunkers. Well, a Hottentot
watched the two white men golfing for
several days. Silent and absorbed, he
followed them indefatigably over the
yellow course. Then he disappeared,
Where had he gone? The white

search. They found him, at last, far

which gives US India ink.
1.-The tanks are divided by means of
sluices into a number of compart-
ments, or locks; and sedulous care is
taken never to disturb the fish, for
when they are disturbed they darken
all the water with their black fluid,
which is thus wasted.
ITO milk a cuttlef1sh, the queer crea-
ture is driven very slowly and gently
into a compartment or lock lined with
metal. Then the water is gradually
drawn off, and the fish in the end finds
himself left high and dry. He becomes
alarmed; he souirts forth all the sepia
in his sack. Then, MIXED dry, he is
returned to his tank again

SELLS FOUR PLAYERS.
Hutchinson Disposes of F7eharty, Pet
tigrew. Wood and Casey.

Hutchinson, Kan. Sept. File
harty, Wood, Pettigrew and Casey will
not be with the Salt Packers next year
Ihey We're all sold yesterday in Kansas
| are to report at Kansas City next
/ spring.
DR.. Jay Andrews returned this
morning from Kansas City where he
made the deal whereby the Hutchinson
players were sold.
Tebeau owns the Kansas City and
Louisville teams in the American as
ISOLATION and Denver in the Western
league. Besides this. he owns big
shares in other teams and it is often
said that he alone controls the West
ern league.
All four of the Hutchinson players
purchased by Tebeau are young fell
lows with the best of promises. As
soon as the sale was made, Tebeau
asked that Fleharty and Pettigrew be
sent at once to Kansas City. He was
very DESTROYS of having them on his
lineup during the rest of the season.
But Doc refused to let them go for he
needs them too badly here. Thelr
work will greatly help in getting hold
of third place before the season ends
1t had been expected that Fleharty
and Wood, both pitchers. would pc
purchased or drafted before the season
was over. Fleharty is % years old ana
has the build of a Hercules Besides
being big and strong he takes the best
care of himself and is nearly always
in condition.
Wood is but II years old and this
is his first attempt at professional
baseball. Although extremely young,
he is about five feet ten inches tall,
weighs 165 pounds and is growing.
Pettigrew is as fast an outf1elder as
ever saw the Western association. He
is great in the field and as a base run
ner is fast and as quick as lightning
He is one of the best hitters on the
team being around the 800 mark
most of the time.
Casey was at short last year and
kept to the front with Olson of Joplin.
This wear he was put at second and
soon proved that this was his right
place. He has been doing great work
there but was very unfortunate in get
ting crippled up. having been sent to
the hes pital twice this year.

GERMANY WON'T SAY NO
Will Give France and Spain a Free
Hand i'm Morocco.

Berlin, Sept. 7.-Germany's reply
TO Frances circular note to the sigma
tories OF the Algeciras convention will
not be drawn up before Monday next.
1t is understood in the most influential
quarters that Germany will not give a
negative reply to the suggestion that
the international Moroccan police be
temporarily constituted from purely
French and Spanish elements. Some
reserves, however. viii certainly be
made on the subject
1t is fully understood here that the
present situation at Casa Blanca and
Mazagan was not foreseen at the time
the Algeciras convention was
drawn up and requires to be specially
dealt with but Germany will consent
for the moment to rely on French
loyalty to the engagements entered
into. NO Limitation, therefore, is like
~ to be placed on the French military
movements so long as they are con-
sidered to be necessary for the secu-
rity of Europeans and of the Nor
ocean ports.
He Sleeps on the Floor
Tangier, Sept. Some of the de-
tails contained in the recent letters
received here from CaId Sir Harry
MacLean, who was captured early in
July by the bandit Raisu1i and has
since been held a prisoner, have been
divulged and 1t is seen that Raisuli
has not been treating his captive well.
The Caid complains that he is suffer-
ing from chills as a result of sleep
ing on the floor with only a CARPET for
covering Raisuli refused to supply
MN with a mattress, but the Caid
adds:
The chief is very kind in sending
me milk as I am afraid to eat any
thing. Sir Harry says he is in a
tumbled down room the roof of which
on one side is completely lacking He
is guarded by four of Raisuli's men
and the five have only one small ket-
tie for water. 1t is consequently i'm
possible for the Englishman to wash.
