about I4o feet high, which was con- siderably higher than that pumped by the steam engine. Even pumping a double-spray the motor was able to exceed the heights of that pumped by Its rival. And then the new method distinguished itself.
 The steam engine had to cease pump Ing owing to shortage of coal, while the petrcS engine continued its labors. and even pumped three sprays of wa ter through 500 feet of hose to 120 feet into the air. It was explained that the new appliance would continue to pump so long as there was petrol. which was easier to carry than coal. The new machine is capable of covering forty miles an hour.

 Jury Wouldn't Convict. It is seldom that a jury shows dls- inclination to convict as plainly as Glasgow jury did few days ago.
 They had before them a girl barely 1e years of age, charged with robbing her employers of over ss,00o. She was employed as cashier and book-keeper at salary of s212 per week and had full charge of the business accounts and cash transactions of the company. The business was conducted with al- most incredible laxity.
 4HG dCCuotu luNdkldDly OEGW money from the bank for the use of the works, or for employees wages, and paid into the bank money which had come into the firm. These checks were usually drawn in her favor, and she endorsed them on receiving payment. There seems to have been no check on these transactions whatever.
 Apparently the girl began to take advantage of all this 1axity. Petty pilfering started ,and being undetect- ed, went on for a considerable time. Ultimately, defalcations were dlscov- cred to the extent of ss.0o0.
 At the trial an extraordinary scene took place. On the first occasion the jury came back with the qualification that she was guilty of dedication of some sort. Such finding could not be accepted: the verdict must be uncondi- tional. After half an hours eonsidera- ton, the jury intlmated' that the girl had committed dedication, but that the bad business methods were largely re- sponsible. This verdict was again re- iected. A third time the jury consid- cred the question, and the foreman then said they could not fix the amount of the girls appropriations.
 Ultimately she was dismissed. There was no doubt in the minds Of the jury as to the girls culpability.

suItnn Has Reforrned.

The Sultan Abdul Hafnid seems in his old age to be a reformed charac- ter: he has not only given a Consti- tuition to his people. but he has now transferred to the State various im- perial farms. the revenues of which are estimated. at .e2, 1900, 900 per annum. E It sounds almost too good to be true, but a rumor is going around that this generous gift of Abdurs is likely to fa- cilitate the conclusion of new Turk ish loan. and so the noble deed is tainted by suspicion.

During the last meeting of the Bank of England unclaimed bank balances were discussed. As to a desire for a higher dividend than 1-2 per cent. the Governor, W. M. Campbe ell, said that the past halfyear had been one considerable time.
 A period of prosperous money rates had been followed by general depres- sion. The inevitable reaction had come about somewhat swifter than was ex- pected. The Bank of England, he added, naturally had unclaimed bal ances like the other banks.
 The total of all the unclaimed bank balances, however. was a mere baga- telle as compared with the enormous figure which was referred to in Par Iiament.

That dearth has now been overtaken and the cry of the unemployed teacher lsf beginning to be heard. Perhaps this is the real reason behind a remarkable resolution which has just been passed by the Executive of the National Union of Teachers. They demand that the granting of special scholarships to those who desire to be teachers as well as grants to training colleges shall be stopped and that a teacher shall pay for his or her own training.
 Bill for Entertaining.
 The city of London's bill for enter taining is very amusing. When the King opened the New Old Bailey, 1t cost the corporation s6,0S5 for cham pagne and turtle soup. One thousand dollars would have been extravagant: but ss,0s5 simply shows what the cor poration of the city can do in over eating and overwhelming.
 The reception of the Kaiser cost s9,460. ninetenths of which went also for eating and drinking, and the re- ception of the Colonial Premiers cost s12.300, and, worse of all, the reception of the Paris Councillors cost $14,120 |;
 The guzzling seems to increase as the guests become unimportant, for the reception of the Japanese Prince Fus- himi only cost s2.345.

Il 1Ndge In Israel.

In the New York Sun, of August 2Ist,
we found the following item of news:
Warren Nelson, a negro, was SEN
fenced yesterday by Judge Mulqueen of
General Sessions to not more than ten
years, and not less than seven years, in
Sing Sing. He was convicted of abduct-
ing a young German girl, taking her to
disorderly house and assauting her. She
was kept in the house for several days.
"'There is no need of lynch law here
said Judge Mulqueen in sentencing the
negro. Our courts can handle this class
of cases"
Please to note the facts given in this
news-item. A German white girl, pre-

sumably virgin, was kidnapped by
negro man. carried to house of ill-fame,
raV1Shed, and kept prisoner for several
days, in order that the negro might re-
turn to his victim, from time to time, and
glut his bestial lust upon the helpless
prisoner
This did not happen in heathendom, in
darkest Africa, in the Malay Archipelago
No; it happened in New York City, in
the midst of a civilized Christian people,
The fate of the wretched girl is not
unusua-negro brutes are growing bold
er every year, and the awful thing which
happened to this girl THREATENS
EVERY WHITE WOMAN IN
AMERICA.
That which is unusual is the mental
attitude of the Judge. For crimes ten
fold more heinous than murder, he gave
this black brute prison sentence of
mot more than ten, nor less than seven
years."
Having done this he compacenty said,
I'VE don't need lynch law; our courts
can handle this class of cases"
Whether Judge Mu1queen would have
been equally we'll satisfied with the SEN
tence had the victim of the rapist been
his own mother, wife, sister, or daughter,
we can not say, but if The Teffersonian

Brother Pop, don't you remember how
they used to jeer at us and call us the
niger party?
Don't you remember how the Demo
cratic editors and speakers proudly
claimed that theirs was the white mans
party?
Of course you do. Therefore, you will
have to rub your eyes to make sure your
vision is clear when you see Hoke Smith
signing bill which was meant to kill the
disfranchisement law; and see Bryan
holding conferences with negro leaders
who have been Republicans ever since
Freedom" but who-AFTER TALK
ING WITH THE PEERLESS ONE
suddenly become Bryanites.
What does it mean, Brother?
The negro leaders went to see Taft
about the Brownsville matter, about the
Foraker bill to re-instate the negro troops,
about the Southern disfranchisemen
laws and about the I4th and 18th amend
ments. From Taft they got no satisfac-
ton.
They then went to see Mr.. Bryan about
those same matters. He talked with them,
and they came away rejoicing-PER-
FECTLY SATISFIED.
WHAT DID BRYAN SAY TO
THOSE NEGROES?

the line somewhere, and he draws it here.
Why, bless your eyes, Bryan and Taft
monographs, this year, and it has been a
matter of the utmost difficulty for the
managers of the instruments to tell which
speech is Bryan's and which is Taft's.
They are so similar in doctrine that the
name of the speaker has to be carefully
stated each time. It has happened-so
we are told-that when Taft's name is
not mentioned before the machine begins
to grind, Democrats wildly applaud what
they take to be Organism. On the other
hand unless Bryan's name is mentioned
in advance, Republicans 60 up into the

The begging-letter referred to contains
a special appeal, requesting the Editor to
publish certain statements. One OF these
statements is to the effect that the Bryan
ties do not want any gifts from the
Trusts. The plain, common peOple-they,
and they only, are to be the sources OF

AS a respectable Editor, we shouldn't
like to publish such a statement. we
don't tell lies on Our own account, and
we don't care to tell any on Bryan's &C
