Necro Excursionists Fight.

A negro excursion from Savannah
to eBaufort Monday proved a bloody
affair. When the boat returned to Sa-
vannah twelve wounded negroes had
their wounds sewn up by a surgeon.
Others had slighter injuries that did
NOT require his attention. One OF the
negroes had twelve staos in the back
made by a short-bIaded knife. Razors
we're the wea9ons most generally used,
though one man had a hat pin run en-
tirely through his arm.
The continuation CT che Of the
steamboat rows afser the landing had
beer effected resulted in Sam Powers
shooting and probably fatally wound
ing Alice Brown, who was an lnno'
cent bystander, while Powers was mr.
ing at another negro.

Cleveland, Ohio.-That John D.
Rockefeller will live to more than
ninety-four is the prediction OF DR..
H. F. Biggar, his family physician:
DR.. Biggar watched Mr.. RocKe1el-
ler play golf over the Forest Hill
links, and at the finish declared that
the Standard Oil magnate was likely
to live more than a quarter OF CEN
tury longer.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who looked partic-
ularly we'll, said he had never felt
better in his life and that he could
eat anything.
William Rockefeller, John D. Rock
efeller's father, is still living and is
ninety-four. Dr.. Biggar said he sees
no reason why the master or Forest
Hill should not live longer than his
father.
He is the best-trained athlete in
the siXty-year-old class in the world
to-day, and he's sixty-eight, at that,
he said. He'll live longer than MS
father, I'm sure. Did you see his
strokes on the links this morning!
Did they look feeble? I tell you, Mr..
Rockefeller has been born twice ply
sically, and he is only fourteen years
old now. He is growing up again,
and growing up scientifically, adding
to his muscle, to his lungs, to his
heart power with every breath OF
fresh air he takes on Forest Hill,
and with every drive he makes at the
Golf Club.
And it cost Mr.. Rockefeller So
100000 for this second life. Those
are his own words. 1t happened
in this wise, according to Doctor
Biggar:
"Mr. Rockefeller came to Cleve,
land in 1893, in the middle OF the
panic period, completely broken in
health and spirit. He could eat moth
ing which would nourish him. His

strict application Of the entrance re-
quirements, the fines imposed by the
treasury departms and the cost Oh
repatriating rejected applicants have
served to good purpose. Wherever inl-
migrants are embarked for the United
States | find liberal sanitary prscau-
tons are taken. In Italy, France, Bel
gium. Holland and Germany, the prin-
cipal ports of all of which countries
I visited, 1 found the arrangements al
most rs elaborate as at Ellis island
for sorting over prospective immi
grants. The countries l visited are ap
parently discouraging emigration. Italy
is the only exception to this rule. The
result of this is that we are getting
more than our share of material from
southern Europe, and not enough from
the north.
Il found, as a rule, that the classes
from which immigrants are drawn are
remarkable well informed on what life
in America is like. There was scarcely
cne of all the persons I interviewed
who did not have friend or relative
already in the United States, and thus
knew all about wages, living, etc. WHAT
l saw though tended to disprove the
old tradition that only the best and
bravest cross the seas. l found that
the best men and women were gener-
ally satisfied and prosperous under To-
cal conditions. These do not emigrate.

ed with considerable suspicion in Ger
many, but as soon as our object was
known every courtesy was shown to
us. Accompanied by an official inter

them, they were so clean and we'll

Of the voyage.
Il do not think sufficient attention
has been paid in the United States TO
regulating the destination Of those new
citizens We can hardly expect Hcllan-
ders to succeed as cotton growers, or
southern Italians to prosper in the
rigorous north. IN Lombardy l found
people ideally suited to the climate
and other conditions of my native
South Carolina. This suggests that
many present problems could be solved
if each state had special commits

I'm going to die. But it is not on
account of the financial situation

1T is through disappointment of my

He asked the doctor to help him.

Mr.. Rockefeller with this prescrip-
ton: Drop all business cares, take
regular exercise, keep in the open
air, forget everything but play, and
play as though your life depended

DR.. Biggar. MI. Rockefeller made
me a remarkable patient, an ideal
one. Although he had a terrible
weight of responsibility then, he
dropped everything to get healthy.
"A few years afterward we were
! talking of his recovery and Mr.. Rock
/ efeller said to me: Doctor, do YOU
know how much it cost me to get
well?' I told him, of course, didn't.
We'll, DOCTOR he said, it cost me just

stronger than any business man in

anywhere near his age. He is a
wonderful man, full Of vitality. He
never touched a drop of liquor in
his life. He does not smoke. He is
leading the most simple life imagin-
able, and yet it is the strongest life.
He can swing an axe as easily as he

Tests For Boiler Water.

Will you please print some simple
tests for boiler water?-E. G. A.
Answer.-Test for hard or soft
water: Dissolve a small piece of
good soap in alcohol. Let few
drops of the solution fall into glass
of the water. If it turns milky, It
is hard water; if it turns clear, it is
soft water.
Test for earthly matters or alkaH:
Take litmus-paper dipped in vinegar,
and, if on immersion the paper re-
turns to it's true shade, the water
does not contain earthly matter or al
kali. If a few drops of syrup be
added to water containing any
earthly matter, it will turn green.
Test for carbonic acid: Take equal
parts of water and clear lime water
If combined or free carbonic acid is
present, a precipitate is seen, and
if a few drops of mur;atic acid be
added, effervesence commences.
Test of magnesia: Boil the water
to twentieth part Of its weight, and
then drop few grains of neutra
carbonate of ammonia into glass
of it and few drops of phosphate o1
soda. If magnesia is present, it vii

Test for tSon: Boil little nut-gal
