ored man is to be considered. Is it likely that when a colored man is ar rested and imprisoned he feels just as much shame as a white man of any circumstances might? In one sense a colored man is just as good as a white man, for the law says he is, but he has not the same amount of injury un- der all circumstances that the white man would have. In this community I dare say the amount of evil that would flow to a colored man from charge like this would not be as great as it probably would be to a white man.
 So far as we recall, this decision es- tablishes a new legal principle, viz, that a colored mans humiliation and anxiety under untoward conditions which involve disgrace, are less acute than those of white man and, there fore. of less pecuniary value in a suit for damages. The court must have evolved this finding from it's inner consciousness. for how such a fact could be proved by evidence expert or otherwise. passes the average compre- hension- Weights and measures do not furnish any standard by which to feelings of white and colored.
 The award of s2,5O0 may have been excessive for other reasons, and $500 may be sufficient compensation doubtless it is- But we doubt much whether this discrimination between white and colored feelings could with stand any higher Judicial test, how ever it may accord with white sen- timent in the South and however pop ular it may with Northern whites.

fAxAT1oN OF BACHELORS.


 There have been at divers and sun dry times and places propositions to 1e$y taxes upon bachelors, but they have never banned out" They have { Gsuet4lly been in the form of resolu- tons introduced in State Legislatures. and after being referred to committees have been "shelved" and not again heard from
 NoN. however. it has come forward n c now and more authoritative form ana with important additions. The Austrian Minister Of Finance has, in Ais annual budget as submitted to the Reichsrath, proposed a tax on bach elofs, widowers and childless husbands Khy he did not also include "old 1naidss does not appear; possibly he may have thought that their unmar- fied condition was due to their never having been asked to change it, but it is . fact that many "old maids" have reeused proposals. should not the Re3chsxhth amend the recommenda- 9ion by including in the list of taxable Deraons such s'old maids'' as have re- Nn6od opportunities of marriage? One 6kHect might be a greater hesitancy to &eslase ofrers of marriage, for one of Inc natural instincts is to escape tax nticn by an possible means. Such a Ay might be considered premium on Xaaxriage for both bachelors and "old 7haads,~ ' with a lessened chance of that 1raca suicide" SO strongly deprecated bx Presfdent Roosevelt
 The Farmer apologizes for inhicting snn its readers these comments upon fhe Austrian Ministers proposition. and yet the subject Is timely. In this country, extravagance in expenditures &ax forced a search for new sources of Revenue. and it is actually proposed not only to impose a double death-tax. h the form of both National and State 61herftance taxes, but also even to karfass the nultimillionaires with an Income tax. If these do not suffice, <he Austrian proposition may next be taken up seriously, and thus the mat < ter may be considered of near-future Haportance.

The tariff bill reported by the Sem ate Finance committee imposed a duty of IS per cent on automobiles. motor cycles and bicycles, and this was sup ported by Senator Aldrich with the etatement that 45 per cent. was the rate at which the greatest revenue would be produced = that is. that a higher duty would be prohibitory. Thereupon. the Senate promptly voted to increase it to 50 per cent. thus il- lustrating a previously-noted disposi- tion toward prohibitory duties.
 Under the Dingley tariff, foreign manufacturers of automobiles have been contemplating the establishment Of branch factories in this country;
 with a duty of 50 per cent. they are almost sure to do so. This will defeat the purpose of the prohibitory duty which can only serve to bring here the coupefition Of machines constructed upon foreign ideas In addition, the government will lose revenue. Prohib- itory duties are protection running wfld."

Possibly, Admiral Beresford has in mind the pozsibnity of a serious disagreement in the futtire between the colonies and the Imperial government, in which event the possession of battleships by fhe former might be somewhat disad- ranfageous to the latter.

 A Pullman ear passenger had a col ored porter arrested in 1906 upon a charge of having stolen from him a card case containing $20 and the ac- cused who was discharged the next day, brought suit for $10,O0O damages and secured a jury verdict for s2,5O0 which was declared excessive by the presiding judge. The case went to the Appellate division of the N. Y. Su- preme court which last week affirmed the previous judgment that s3o0 was q sufficient amount. Following are in- teresting extracts from the decision which is affirmed:

 Regarding the matter of the town poor iu was shown that the appropr1- ation had not run out, as has been published, but there remains in the treasury unused the sum of $500 for the insane poor, and the sum of $500 for poor who are not insane. MT. Fox recommended that no appropriation for the poor be made. The proposi- tion to make an appropriation for the dirt roads was laid on the table and the meeting adjourned. Thus much has been cleared up, and many false rumors set at rest.

Local Institute.

The teachers of Lake and Salem town
ship held their local institute at Lake
Ariel, Jan. 30th.
The teachers assembled at 10 A. M,
and the morning session opened by
singing America. Devotional ex-
ercises were conducted by Supt. Koch
Ter. After singing Flow Gently, Sweet
Alton" Supt Koehler expressed the de-
sire that all the teachers should enter
freely in the discussions.
The first paper, "School olPunishment"
was read by Miss Arabella Jones. Few
rules should be made but all violations
of these rules should be visited by
punishment. Every child has the right
to demand of us as the chief element OF
his future welfare, that we train him to
a wholesome respect for law. The SUBJ
ject was thoroughly discussed by Supt.
Koehler and several of the teachers.
Miss Elsie Howe, in her paper, "How
1 Teach Beginners" explained fully the
way she teaches the pupils in her first
grade. A discussion of the several meth
ods in teaching primary reading follow
ed.
A very interesting paper on "Geogra
iphy' was read by Miss Florence. Jones.
A fter thorough discussion of this sub
ject, the session closed.
The afternoon session opened by sing
nR "Blue Bells of Scotland" An ex-
cellent paper on ways in which our
Common Schools may be Improved"
was read by Miss Hitler. The directors
should be men who are interested in all
educational matters, not favorites of
some political party. Comfortable school
houses, pleasantly located, should be
erected. Well trained teachers should
be chosen. The most important thought
brought out, was the centralizing of
schools. The time will come when the
rural school" will be thing OF the

past. The discussion which followed
was full OF interesting thoughts.
"'My First Experience" by Miss Alma
Schuller was an interesting account of
her joys and discouragements during her
first years work.
"School Management" was the SUBJ
iect of Fred. Biesher's paper. Good or
der is necessary if you wish to realize
good results of your work. Always have
your plan for each days work arranged
with careful consideration of the sub
iects.
Importance of Nature Study and
how to Teach IT, by Prof. J. D. Storm.
This subject has been sadly neglected in
our common schools. The pupils are
seldom called upon to study nature.
An intelligent interest should be arous-
ed. 1t trains the child's power of OBJ
servation and teaches him an apprecia-
ton of nature, also of natures great
poets, Bryant and Wordsworth. The
teacher must have definite plan of
work. Use objects in teaching it. To
be prepared to teach this important
study, the teacher should possess &
Botany, Zoology, Physiology and some
good work on Nature Study.
The last paper on the program "A
Successful Teacher" was read by Leor
Scudder. You must make yourself use
full to your pupils. Teach them to dc
their work with mechanical accuracy.
After an instructive talk on "How t.
make out our Monthly Report" b!

DURING the delivery of an address

DURING the delivery of an address
before the Chicago Congregational Min
isterial Union, on Tuesday evening OF
last week, DIR. William A. Waterman
said that while the sun was shining on
the day of the death of Abraham Lin
coin, bright star was distinctly visible
at midday to the people of Washington.
According to his statement the star be-
came visible at noon and hung there like
the star of Bethlehem. 1t was the sub
iect of much discussion. The news
papers took up the mystery, but as time
passed the comment ceased and the sub
ject was forgotten. 1t is seldom spoken
of now, but reference to the papers OF
the time would verify this statement.

Northampton, Mass, April 29.-En-
ragged because she had broken her en-
gagement with him and refused to re-
new it, Porter Smith of Chicago, who
was graduated from Dartmouth col
lege last year today shot and killed
Miss Helen Aver Marden, a senior at
Smith college, and then committed
suicide. Miss Marden was a daughter
of Frank Marden of Somerville.
Coming from the students building
this morning, Miss Marden was ac-
costed by Smith, who was on his way
to the building. 1t is not known
whether there was any conversation
between the two, but the students not
far distant heard a shot and heard
a girls scream. Turning around, they
saw Smith standing beside the girl
with a smoking revolver in his hand.
Before they could reach the couple
they saw Smith raise the revolver and
fire two more shots at the girl. Miss
Marden sank to the ground and Smith
Immediately placed the muzzle of the
weapon to his own head and fired,
falling dead beside the young woman.
Two bullets had entered Miss Marden's
back, near the neck and a third had

COAL RATE HEARING
IS UNDER WAY
AGAIN
NUMEROUS RAILROAD OFFICIALS S
AND OPERATORS OF MINES
ARE IN ATTENDANCE.

Helena, April 29.-The continuation
of the public coal rate hearing, insti-
gated by the state board of railroad
commissioners, whose action was
based upon numerous complaints in
the premises, was resumed at the cap
itol this afternoon, with a large at
tendance of coal operators, producers
and consumers. The meeting was pre-
sided over by +. A. Morley, chairman
of the commission, while all railroads
in the state We're represented.
Chairman Morley expressed the
opinion that it Woud perhaps be better
If all present were given sang froid ;
that in this way it was not unlikely
the carriers and operators could reach
an amicable understanding, which
would be perfectly satisfactory to the
commission. For the benefit of the
traffic officials not present at the for
mer hearing, thee hartman briefly ex-
planned that complaints had been made
as to certain rates, and that it was
the desire of the commission to put in
a joint rate between the Northern
Pacific and Billings & Northern, so
tnat carbon county coal might obtain
a market in northern and certral
Montana.
Mr. Woodwork of the Northern Pa
cific was the first to address the gath
ering. He said the policy of his road
was to encourage and build up the
various industries of the StH,e, and
he thought that the rates now in eff
feet was as wise and in the interest
of the producers as could be reason
ably asked for. He doubted the wis
dom of the Joint rate referred so far
as the Great Northern was concerned,
inasmuch as it had deposits along its
own line. He said the comparison be-
tween rates from Red Lodge to LiV-
ingston and Butte for instance was
unfair, because the latter was a COM
petitive point and there would be no
shipments unless low rates were made
He said the Trail Creek branch was
never profitable to his road.
Others talked along the Sa ne gen
eral lines and at late hour the hear
ing was still in session.
