Business" Temperance.

l haHeao LhJ JOufuats
One of the most remarkable phasei
Of the wave OF so-called "business,
temperance which is sweeping oyel
the country has just been manifested
in the action Of the TO- 900 employees Of
the Northwestern railroad who have
signed the pledge TO abstain from the
use of Intoxicating liquors. This action
was not taken as the result OF a tenn
perance revival; there was nothing
emotional or fanaticsl about 1t. The
men who signed the pledge we're not

at the last it biteth like q serpent and
stinReth like an adder, though they
evidently agreed that he who Is de-
ceiyed thereby is not wise. 1t was a
plain matter Of business with them.
When the orders for the reduction
OF the forces Of the road to the winter
basis were issued, the moderate drink
ers were brst let out. This brought
the rest OF the men face to face with
the proposition that liquor ieopardiz-
ed their jobs, and IL required little
extension Of the theory to show that
the drinking Of liquor on the part OF
their fellow employees endangered
their lives, as well as those Of the
public. The highball was banished
and the growlcr was given up for the

Noted Negro Orator.


One OF the speakers In the loca.

W. b. Curry, a noted negro orator
who will make addesses during the
campaign in Audrain county. OF thi,
speaker the Columbia Herald says:
e. w. B. Ourrey the negro orator,
spoke to men only In the opera house
Sunday afternoon and to a general
audience at night. The house was
packed. The pit was filed with white
people, while the negroes occupied
The balcony and gallery.
he divided bis speech into two
parts,t the white man S side, which con-
sisted Of the taxation problem, and
the negroes side, which took up the
welfare OF bis race, and be spoke
mostly from the negroes side of the
question.
The speaker began by stating that
the white mar belonged to a superior
race and that be was responsible for
the conditions that be would throw
around the negro that would further
or hinder his development. He sta
ted further that the negro was brought
here unwillingly, but that now he "a
here to stay. The Southern mar has
always been a friend of tue black
man.
Currey said that the saloon was the
greatest enemy Of bis race and point.
ed to 1t as the cause OF so mapyo ont
RACES by the negroes. He expressed
the greatest disgust for the superior
white nan who tried to buy the vote
OF a second-class negro man. One OF
his remarks which brought down the
house was that the white man made
oil the whiskey, the black man was
not that far along yet that he could
make 1t, SO when the white man oults
making the whiskey the negro will
not nave 1t TO drink and will then ba
better citizen and a better man.
he expressed the greatest conf
ience In his people to vote right ans
o do right If they could be shown
the thing was right. At the

DYNAMITE In COAL OF
BATTLEsHIP OHIO
Navy Department Thinks il Was
Stick Used BY Miners And Merely
Overlooked.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a stick o
dynamite about s inches in length
was found In the coal OF the battl,
ship Ohio at Port Of Spain, Trinidad
while that vessel was taking Goa
from the chartered collier FORTUNE.
This information was received Al
the Navy Department in dispatche.
to-day from Capt. Chas. w. Bartlett
commanding the Ohio, which wers
forwarded by mail by Admiral Evans,
The Fortuna had a cargo OF New
River coal, supplied BY the BerwInd.
White Coal Mining Company at New.
port News, Va.
This Is the second time that dyna.
mite has been found In coal furnished
United States men-of.war. The pre-
Vious case occurred over q year ago.
and 1t resulted Ia an order being
issued by Admiral Evans enjoining all
officers and men engaged in coalinR
ships to examine coal carefully before
and while 1t is being put aboard ship.
This order described the general
appearance Of dynamite and rave
certain necessary precautions to be
observed.
How this dynamite was handled 80
frequently and reached Its destina-
ton without exploding is somewhat
OF q mystery. II was OF the common
variety Of dynamite, as was proven BY
careful examination.
Navy Department officials say that
1T was evidently a stick used in min
Ing coal and escaped the observation
OF the miners and the persons who
subsequently, handled the fuel while
loading it into the cars.
