Baltimore, August 70. - Within
the past sixty days twenty-five Ne
groes have been lynched in different
parts of the United States. OF this
number only four were even charged
with criminal assault upon women.
Nine were lynched in one day on the
charge of being connected with MUIR
der. Four were lynched in one day
or the charge that they passed reso-
lutions in lodge approving the muir
der of an individual Three were
lynched in one day on the charge
that they had taken part in the burn
ing of a gin house. The others were
lynched for miscellaneous reasons.
One was publicly burned in open
daylight in the presence Of women
and children, after oil had been pour
ed upon his body, at Greenville, Tex
as, and reports state that a thousand
people witnessed the spectacle in the
open square of the town. One other
victim was eighty years of age. How
long can our Christian civilization
stand this? I am making no special
plea for the Negro, innocent or gull
ty. but I am calling attention to the
danger that threatens our civiliza-
ton.

As a Frenchman Sees Us

A few months ago M Stephane Lu- game, editor of Le Matn de Paris, paid visit to this country, and since his re- turn bas compiled his impressions in a book which he designates as .Instantanes d dAmericue."
 In some instances he is rather oompli- mentary; in others-well, judge for your self. Here are some of his platitudes:
 There is no place where it Is easier for woman to earn livelihood than the United States, none where 1t is more diff cult for her to smoke cigarette"
 Poets have written America, Kingdom of woman.' Yet l fear that the poets were mistaken"
 "Gallantry, in the American dictionary, might be exactly defined as follows: The attentions of women to mem"
 "Protectionism extends in America even to pocket money"
 ''The Hudson has been known to freeze solid; the subway has been known to get so hot that no trains ran in it: but never has New York husband been known to go homo to lunch with his wife,"
 "I have watched gigantic waves of peo- pie at elevated stations and in the sub way, yet I have never seen anybody el- bow anybody else To elbow another is to lose time''
 "Pierpont Morgan likes to buy very expensive paintings, not always genuine"

What s In a Name

Automobilists will be interested in @ decided innovation which the clever play wright, MT. Clyde Fitch, has suggested in regard to the naming of motors. Mir. Fitch undoubtedly believes there's some thing in name, and places his faith in the safety of being carried upon his way by the proper appellation being given to his car. Pauline and Lizzie are the names chosen for two of MT. Fitch s machines, and he affectionately speaks of them as though they were real human beings. "Lizzie' is name applied by MT. Fitch to animate objects of diminu- tive size and not quite up to the work otherwise. Just what significance this may have as to his machine Is left to the inference of those concerned.
 An auto enthusiast speaking of names observes that machines running upwards or over of 70 or 80 miles an hour might be christened ''The Conqueror' or "The Annihilator."

PHYSICIANS TALK
 ON TUBERCULOSIS
A LARGE AUDIENCE AT OAkMAN GREETS DIR. VIVIAN AND DIR. HARRISON OF BIRMINGHAM. PEOPLE SHOW INTEREST.

oakman, August 26.-(special.)- l.)-Drs. Wyman and Harrison of Birmingham spoke to overfiowing house of the citizens of Oakman and surrounding community upon the subject of tuber- culosis last night.
 Dr. Stoya1l of Jasper introduced pr. Wyman as the first speaker of the oc- casion. He urged the assistance and co-operation of the people with their physicians in the effort to prevent the spread of the disease, which, he said, is much better than to have to cure, say ing that it was the duty of every citi- zen to render such assistance in the great fight against this great destroyer of human life. He showed that the medical profession is trying to educate the people to guadr against 1t gaining hold upon their system and that if peo- pie would keep their system in perfect working order that the vitality of the body, with wholesome food, would help to ward off or cure the disease. pr. Wyman specially called attention to the fact that the immense crowd which had gathered to hear the subject discussed showed their interest In the common welfare of the community in general, and he received an applause when he said that he believed that the people of Oakman deserved the locating of the county high school at this place for tn e interest which charact erized this gath ering.
 After song and prayer, Dr. Harrison of Birmingham was presented to the audience by Dr. Stovall He spoke chiefly upon the prevention of the spread of this terrible disease, using as an illustration an incident which oo- cured on a train from New Orleans to San Antonio, Tex, which clearly showed to all present that an ounce of preven- ton is better than a pound of cure He showed that 1000 persons die an- nually in the state of Alabama and that $S, 7OOO0 is expended each year for the cure and prevention of the disease, not making any mention of the great suf- fering upon the part of the individual so affected and the great anxiety upon the part of those who care for the suf- ferers from tuberculosis.
 After Dr. Harrison's speech the en- tire audience arose as an expression of their appreciation of what they had heard. and some took occasion to ex- press themselves as having learned that tuberculosis could be had without inheritlng it from ones ancestors. A record breaking audience eagerly lis- tened to every word spoken by these two doctors and it is to be hoped that great and lasting good will result

JAP EXPOSITION
 MAY BE POSTPONED

Tokio, August 26.-The postponement of the Tokio international exposition, which Is now scheduled for 1912 is being agl- tated in government circles here and seri- ously discussed on the ground that the appropriation set aside for this purpose is inadequate. No decision has been reached, however, pending the opinion of Count Komura, the new minister Of foreign affairs. who returned from Lon don tonight. The members of the home department of the cabinet are urging the appropriation of 3O,O0O00 yen (about S15.- OOO,00W for the exposition, and also that the date of the opening be postponed until 1917.
 Members of the cabinet insist that in view of the present financial situation in Japan and of the avowed determination of the present ministry to economize, the appropriation of 3OOOO,OOo yen will be in consistent unless the exposition is post poned.

Mothers will be delighted to know of a charming book, which has been published by Mrs. Mary H. Morgan, entitled, How To Dress a Doll" it IS a delightful gift for any little girl, and Mrs. Morgan has remembered the first experience of young misses in sewing and making garments for their "dollies." The book, besides be- ing pastime, is of genuine practical value to little girls for Mrs. Morgan has with diagrams and cuts explained fully the proper way of doing things. The lit- tie dressmaker may use the book without the mothers aid, so plainly are the ideas set forth, and besides the general hints on sewing in the first chapter, the di- visions are arranged very simply under the following heads: Some Simple Stitches" "Buttonhoes and Scallops," About the Patterns" "The Infants Out fit," 'rhe Party Dress,' "Dolly's Street Apron" "Dolly's Nightgown," "Dolly's Kimono," "The Red Riding Hood Cos tume," "A Pierrot Costume and "A Jap anese Dress.'

When the beautiful Mrs. Philip Lydig appeared at Newport recently swathed in two veils the fashionable world imme- diately sat up and took notice. Now Dame Fashion decrees that the double vel'' Is the proper thing, and the fad of several years ago is undoubtedly re- vived.
 Two separate veils are worn-a darker one over a white one, fastening at the back, and falling well over the chin. The effect is of an "OrientaP idea, most be- wildering and elusive.

To Thread a Needle With Wool

Although it Is almost impossible to draw wool through the eye of an ordi- nary needle, however large the latter may be- says Woman's Life, "the needle can sometimes be threaded with fine wool If cotton is used as a 'decoy' Both ends of piece of cotton should be passed through the eye until only short loop remains, the end of the wool being then run through the loop, and the whose gently pulled through the eye of the needle"
