WANT DUTY ON CAMPROR
Another Infant Industry Is Develop
ing i'll Florida

Washington, Nov. 11.-That the
cultivation of the camphor tree is
being seriously considered as a sub
stitute for orange cultivation in those
sections of Florida, where the frosts
have made the latter industry an I'M
profitable one, is one of the facts
that has been brought out in connec-
ton with the hearings being held by
the ways and means committee of
the house of representatives pre-
lfminary to the introduction of a new
tariff bill at a special session of con-
greSS next March. AS a result of the
hearings on the schedule providing for
chemicals, oils and paints, an amend
ment in paragraph IL of the Dingley
tariff, covering refined camphor, has
been made. The courts have held
that synthetic camphor, a product of
synthetic chemistry, made from oil of
turpentine, should be admitted free of
duty as crude camphor. 1t is pro-
posed to restrict the free admission of
camphOr to the crude natural article,
as a result of experiments conducted
by the department of agriculture with
camphor growing in Florida and the
announcement by two concerns of
their intention Of cultivating camphor
to a considerable degree that article
may be taken off the free list al
together within a few years. 1t is ex-
pected that in the near future, 5000
acres of camphor trees will be planted
in Florida where there is sufficient
suitable land fitted for camphor rails
ing to supply the entire home de-
mand. The value of camphor i'm
ports averages 100000 annually

KNIFE FOR CRIMINALS.
Is Recommended by the Physician at
the BrideweII.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE reformation
of criminals by the surgeons knife is
advocated by DR.. c. E. Sceleth, physi-
clan at the house of correction, COM
monty called the Bridewen.
The recommendation is made in
the annual repot of the institution,
issued by the board of inspectors.
There is not a day passes" says
DR.. Sceleth, that 1 do not have four
or five unfortunate inmates come to
me who are unable to do manual
labor on account of some inf1rmity
that could be cured by an operation.
A man that is unable TO work and
has no means of support will have to
make his living on some one else's
earnings. To my mind surgical assist
ance that transforms an invalid I'M
able to work into a well man capable
of doing hard days work is the very
highest type of humanitarianism.'

REVIVAL AT STOCK YARDS.
Worl1men Hear the Gospel While
Killing Hogs.

Chicago. Nov. 11.-Pens and cat
tie Enclosures in the stock yards were
transformed into pulpits today by a
force of thirty ministers of religion.
Sermons were delivered to the killing
gangs and a cornetist furnished re-
ligiouS music.
In most of the killing rooms the
sermons were preached during the
lunch time recess.
In one hog house, the sermon was
delivered to the killers while in the
act of doing the killing. Long knives,
from which blood was dripping, were
in the hands of the workmen at the
very moment the message of the Cos
pei was mingled with and slightly in
terrupted by the squeals of the dying
pigs.
The "Packingtown squad" of re-
Vivalists is composed of local preach
ers from the prin cipal Protestant de-
nominations. They are under the
direction of the Rev. Chas. Stelzle
and the Rev. Warren H. Wilson, east
ern evangelists. The unique revival
will last two weeks.

CONSPIRACY TO KILL.
Is Charged by the Friends of the Late
Senator Carmack.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE ex-
citement in this city over the terrible
tragedy Monday afternoon in which E.
W. Carmack, ex-United States senator
from Tennessee, and editor of the
Tennesseean of this city, was shot and
killed by Robin Cooper, a young attor-
ney, and son of Colonel Duncan b.
Cooper, a close personal and political
friend of Governor NJ. NJ. Patterson
has to a certain extent abated yet the
tragedy is still the sole topic of con-
versation in political circles, both in
this city and throughout the state.
Colonel Cooper, who was with his son
when the latter shot Carmack, has
been remanded to Jail without bond,
charged with murder. while young
Cooper remains at hospital under
guard while his wounded arm is being
treated. His preliminary examination
will be held as soon as he is able to
leave the hospital. Cooper's friends
throughout the state claim that the af-
fair was merely street duel in which
both sides met and began firing; that
the Coopers had tried to avoid a meet
ing with Mr.. Carmack and that they
were on their way to the state capitol
in response to a telephone message
from Governor Patterson When the
tragedy occurred; that Senator Car
mack had been warned and was eX-
pecting trouble.
The friends of Senator Carmack
strenuously claim that the killing was
the result of a conspiracy with which
men high in authority were connected;
that Mr.. Carmack was waylaid and as
sassinated while he was on his way to
his boarding house and while he was
talking to a lady; that when he left
the Tennesseean office for his boarding
house the fact was telephoned from a
house near the Tennesseean office and
that thus the Coopers were notified
that the senator was on his way and to
be on the alert.
1t now develops according to friends
of Mr.. Carmack, that there was
bird party with the COopers just be-
fore the shooting an ex-county official
who is a close personal friend of both
the Coopers and Governor Patterson
Friends of the dead senator intimate
that there will be some sensational de-
veIopments within a day or so regard
ing the affair. Neither Col. Cooper nor
his son will give out any statement for
publication.

many of the sheets were given to copies
of ancient and more recent freak adver-
tisements.
Il believe that advertising is an
ancient and honorable custom" said
Mrs. Monroe land find that BALKAN
was one of the earliest advertisers with
whom history is familiar. From his
day until this advertising methods
have been improved upon until we have
the high standard enjoyed today and
so necessary to the success of business
in our great cities.
I'VE are advertised best by our low
ing friends and a pleased customer is
the best advertisement that a mer-
chant can have though there are many
other excellent mediums of publicity,
including the Club Woman. There are
many forms of poor advertising, name
ly, the bill board which holds up to our
view the unsightly things of life and
many which are repulsive to the eye OF
a refined public"
Opposes Bargain Days.
Miss Effie Graham of the high
school faculty spoke on whats the
Matter With Your Advertising" and
pointed out enough defects to con-
vince the average listener that the en-
what it should be. Before COM
mence this discussion I am willing to
admit that 1 know absolutely nothing
about the scientific points of ad writ
ing said Miss Graham, "but you
have asked me a question and 1 shall
attempt to answer it.
1.-The members of the legislature in
this state have placed a law on the
statute books prohibiting the sale of
liquor and it seems to me that the
next session could do we'll in passing
a law prohibiting special sales and
bargain days. The inappropriateness
of much of the later day advertising
is appalling and I think that this
should be eliminated. There should
be a corner in every paper given over
to the display of the disgusting fea-
lures which are carried as advertise
ments in nearly every paper. One
corner should be set aside for this
feature and a flap of blank paper
pasted over it so that it would be con-
cealed from all save those who cared
to lift the lid and view the display"
Frank B. White, president of the
Frank B. White Advertising company
of Chicago was introduced and after
paying a glowing tribute to the talks
made by the women on the pro-
gramme spoke briefly on Advertising
Which Pays"

BIG DEAL IN PHOSPHATE
General j. w. F. Hughes VIII Profit
Materially by 1t.

Columbia, Tenn. Nov. 1.-Probably
the largest deal in the phosphate in
dustry of America was closed here to-
day with the organization of the
Franco-America Consolidated Phos-
plate company with capital of $780,
600 and the purchase by the company
OF 1887 acres of phosphate lands in
Tennessee. The company has been
chartered under the laws of Arizona.
The above dispatch relates to prop
erty in Tennessee. in which General J.
w. F. Hughes, adjutant general of
Kansas, is interested.
A. Is. Jetmore, of New York former
ly or Topeka, is one of the attorneys
who has been employed in putting
through the deal
1t is said that the contamination Of
this deal will make General Hughes
one of the richest men in Kansas.
With his three brothers General
Hughes owns $50 acres of Tennessee
phosphate lands. A railroad is now be-
ing built to these lands, and many very
fine offers have been made to the
Hughes brothers for the sale of their
property. The phosphate deposits in
Tennessee are of great value to the big
packing houses in making fertilizer.
General Hug es said this morning:
Our phosphate interests in Tennessee
were placed in the hands of J. w Con
nor, a big Tennessee contractor who Sc
cured the work Of building the Panama
canal, and was then forced to give IL
up. Connor went to France for the
purpose of financing big corporation.

do not know exactly what conditions
were made in placing our property in
his hands, whether 1T is a straight sale
or lease with certain guaranty OF
royalties. 1t promises to be a big
thing"
