"Ackroyd of the Faculty" by Anna Chapin Ray, author Of Hearts and Creeds," By the Good Ste Anne" etc, published by Little, Brown & G., Bos- ton, $1.5O.
 Anna Chapin Ray, the author of "Ackroyd of the Faculty" has for sev- eral years written novel for spring publication, and a story for girls in the fall Several of her recent books have had Quebec for a background, but in "Ackroyd of the Faculty" she has por- trayed one phase of life at one of the larger American universities. Inasmuch as Miss Ray lives not far from Yale (West Haven), she will doubtless be charged with locating her scenes in New haven. Her characters are, of course, wholly fictitious. Miss Ray is a Smith college graduate.
 It is novel of life in one of the larg- CT American universities, embodying a study of social mal-adjustment. In- tellectual vigor brings the hero, born of nhs masses and wholly loyal to his kin,

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.
Plates Holding Rail Ends Together
Removed.

Pittsburg, Pa. Especially A das-
tardly attempt to wreck the Chicago
Limited, on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, the second time within a
month, was made near Penn Station.
Fish-plates were removed from two
rail joints and a number of spikes
drawn, but the train passed over the
joints without leaving the tracks.
Penn Station is in what is known
as the railroad danger zone. The
first attempt to wreck the Chicago
Limited was made near Turtle Creek,
not far from Penn, and during the
past three weeks the Chicago Ex-
press and the keystone Express were
ditched by wreckers in the same dis
trict. In every case the wreckers re-
moved fishplates which connect the
rails, and when the trains reached
the rail-joints which had been tam
pered with they left the track.

WHAT RED CORAL IS.

The red coral that is used for neck
laces is a horny axis which supports
a number of soft bodied, coral like
animals, or polyps, the entire struc-
ture bearing a strong resemblance
to a small shrub. The fishermen, az
ter they have brought this shrublike
colony to the surface, clean the soft
animal matter away, preserving the
red core, or axis, which is sold as
jewelry. Although red coral con-
tains some lime, it is largely COM
posed of a substance akin to horn.
and, like horn, it takes fine polish,
says the st. Nicholas Magazine. Horn.
wool and other animal substances of
this nature almost invariably change
their color when brought into in
tense heat.

SEC. TAFT REFUSES
The CUBANS' DEMAND
VIII Set No Date For Withdrawal
of Troops.
Gov MAGOON'S COURSE ALL RIGHT.
Secretary of Wars Plain Talk to Com
mittee Of insurgents Impossible to
Hold Elections Until Complete Cen
sus OfIsland Has Been Taken--P PrOyin-
cial Elections in the Fall.

Havana Especially Secretary OF
War Taft held a conference with the
Liberals and conservative politicians
and with men representing the bust
ness interests of the island, including
a large delegation of bankers. The
Secretary OF War refused to fix a
date for the withdrawal of American
forces. After the conference Mr..
Taft issued this statement:
Municipal, and possibly provincial,
elections will occur after the taking
OF census. These elections deter
mining the effectiveness of the new
electoral laws, general elections for
a president, vice president and con-
gressmen, will follow. 1t all means
considerable delay. Taking Of the
census will occupy at least four
months. Then one month will inter
vene before the municipal elections,
which will bring the first elections
not earlier than the middle of Sep
tember The presidential election
will follow at some indefinite future
time, probably five or six months, de-
pending on conditions.
While there has been little doubt
in the United States that the admin
istration intended to re-establish the
Cuban Republic. there has been so
much agitation there that Mr.. Taft's
open declaration of the governments
intentions is most important Mr.
Taft has met the demand for some
definite program, but he declined to
fix the dates for the elections. He
said he would possibly do so after
returning to Washington.
Tho %
party who met Mr.. Taft demanded
the fulhllment of the promises he
made last fall TO remove the moder-
ate governors and mayor, who had
been fraudulently elected, and re-
place them with Liberals. This mat
tre Mr.. Taft turned over to Governor
Magoon. Mr.. Taft also informed the
committee that the administration
was highly satisfied with the Govern
or's conduct of Cuban affairs, and he
would be given more authority than
ever.
The Moderate leaders were receiv-
ed, and they were followed by the
bankers The latter argued against
changing the currency from Spanish
to American. as has been proposed.
On this point Mr.. Taft made no def
mite answer.
The taking of a census was pro-
posed by the advisory commission,
which consists of representatives of
all the parties and a number of
American provisional officials. They
unanimously agreed to the plan,
thinking than an honest basis for
registration could not be procured
otherwise. 1t was intended to hold
the municipal elections in June, but
Mr.. Taft after consultation today,
decided otherwise. There is no
chance that the Americans will
evacuate the island before June,
1908.
The members of Congress accom-
panying Mr.. Taft visited tobacco
plantation. Alfredo Zayas will re-
sign the presidency of the Liberal
party, but this does not mean that
he will give up the fight to obtain
the Liberal nomination for the presi-
dency of the republic.

The Mi8ky W
BY A. Russell RoNN

On any mOonless evening AZ
the autumn and winter month";
peculiar band of cloudy light is w
fble, stretching from horizon to horn
izon. This band, which is called the
galaxy, or the milky way, forms a
complete ring girdling the heavens,
and is found to consist of myriads of
stars of all magnitudes.
The farther from the milky way we
direct our view, the fewer the stars
become. so that at the "galactfc
poles, as they are called, there ara.
comparatively few stars. The larges
telescope can discover no more starsS
than are visible in a teIescemnweN
moderate size, and the sky
these stars is jet black, shoyS
here at least we have a
penetrated the utmost confnesI
our universe and can gaze into the
limitless black void beyond.
The milky way itself is quite baf-
fling to astronomers. There are some
cloudy spots in the belt that cannot
be resolved into the individual stars
OF which they are undoubtedly com
posed, but even with the largest tex
escopeS still present the same hazy.
cloud-like appearance. On the other
hand, there are riffs and inky blaer&
spots, or coal Sacks" as they an
called, in the milky way in which nd
other stars have ever been found. /
This would seem to indicate that
there is a limit to the stars even in
that direction.
1t used to be thought that the
universe has the form OF a grind
stone, with its edge in the milky
way, and extending for an infinitely
great distance. and that the reason.
the stars appear closer to each othe,
in the milky way is because we ard
looking through a greater thicknessV
of stars in this direction. II suchk
is the case. the coal sacks" can only
be accounted for as long tunnels df-H

KINSTOS TOBACCO MARKET.
sales at the Five Warehouses Opeed
With 1925 600 Pounds Bringing
Good Prices.

Kinston, n. C..Aug. 2.-The open
ing breaks of the Obacc market yes
terday excelIed the expectations of yer
the most optimistic tobacco men. Be-
cause of the fact that farmers have
been kept unusually busy. the ware
housemen did not look for much to-
bacco, their average estimate being
about 5000 pounds. But after the
sales were closed it was estimated that
$4,000 pounds have been sold on
the floors.
The warehousemen met at the At
antic $50 and drew for sales. Wren
the lots were drawn it was found that
the sales would run as follows: The
Eagle. Central, Farmers, Knott Bros.
and then the Atlantic.
Double sales have not started yet.
as it is desired to first get the market
opened and settled down to steady
business, before SO doing. 1t viii
probably be several days before they
begin.
The tobacco was very we'll distrib-
uted among the warehouses and ev-
ervWherc satisfaction was manifested
at the prices brought.
For the grade Of tobacco. mostly
Tugs, the market brought exceptionally
good priceS-far excelling the prices
Of last year-for the same grade.
There IS every promise of highest
prices on the Kinston market this
year, and every inducement offered for
bringing tobacco to this market.
One lot of tobacco sold as high as
30 1-2 cents ard in no instance was
there a suggestion of tobacco being
undersold, but everywhere satisfaction
was expressed at the results Of the
sales. The buyers seem willing 10
pay more for tobacco this year There
is no reason to think that the high
standard set at the opening sales will
not continue.
