BRAIN LIKE WHITE MANS.
African Gray Matter No Different
From Caucasian. Prof. Wilder Says.

NEW YORK, June 1.-At the so-caIled
national conference on the status Of the
negro in the assembly hall of the Chari-
ties building the speakers were DR.. Will
liam Hayes Ward, who presided: Prof
Burt G. Wilder of Cornell University and
Profs. Livingston Ferrand. f. r. Selig-
man and John Dewey of Columbia Uni
versity. The burden Of the themes of all
was greater opportunity for the negro
and recognition of his possibilities ot
equality with the white man.
Prof Wilder had surrounded himself
with picked brains and with charts to
demonstrate that the negros brain was
not inferior 10 the white mans struc-
turally. He said:
Il say 10 YOU that ii is not possible tC
distinguish between the brain of a black
man and that of white man. and | defy
any person TO make such distinction
with certainty.
Prof. Wilder then picked up the brain
or another Of his friends, the mathemati-
elan and philosopher. Chauncey Wright
and showed that II was more like the
brain Of mulatto. which he possessed
than like the customary brain OF tine
White man. And that mulatto had beer

VALUE OF THE FAIRGROUNDS

Declares That Every Mother and

Every real mother and father
knows the value of Fairgrounds.
They willingly intrust the child To
the teacher when they must be
away from home. What must II
mean to the man and woman who
must work? ASK the sick one long
ing for silence on the streets. Ask
the parent whose child was run
over by wagon and left MANNED
for life-it might not have hap
rened had there been playground
in that Deighborhood. We want
playground or park or open breath
ing space in every section nearer
together than the public schools.
I'VE have $500 in the treasury
now. We must have $1,000 to
maintain and equip the play
grounds we now have; TO make
even 4 little better and wider dis
tribution of the grounds, we must
have $1,000.
How easy it will be if every
philanthropic. human, far-seeing
person will just send one dollar

GOLD
BRICKS FROM
KEANE WONDER
REPRESENT A VALUE OF OVER
800 - LARGEST SHIP
MENT MADE.

RHYOLITE, April 2O.-Homer
Wilson, manager of the Keane Won
der mine, came into Rhyolite this
morning with five big gold bricks
which, we understand, represent the
result of a three-weeks' run at the
company's cyanide plant.
The bars are on exhibition at the
First National bank, and one look at
them is guaranteed to cure any case
of sore eyes. Three of them are
about ten inches long, four inches in
width and three and one-half inches
in height. The others are about
10x4x2 IA inches. The five repre-
sent value of over $4,000.

wide open for American enterprise

The east will lose in picturesque

homogeneous and impossible, but all
the signs point to an era in the

people will know one another, and
when war will be less frequent.
We hear much of the "accursed
thirst for gold,' of the folly of piling
up riches; but if the era of peace we
are told of ever comes, it will be
largely due to the increased produc.

No one whose range of vision ex-
tends beyond his own country can
have failed to observe that within
the past few decades the whole world
has reused itself to degree of alert
ness and activity never before known
in history Up to a period within
fifty years Africa as a whole was an
unknown continent, savage and i'm
penetrable; the principal countries of
Asia, their ancient civilization out
worn and decayed, had lapsed into
a condition of lethargy and decad-
ence. China and Japan had been for
centuries at a standstill, and India
under British rule was but beginning
to awake. Progress was confined to
Europe and North America.
In 1S4S came the gold discoveries
in California, followed in two or
three years by similar development
in Australia. At that time the accu-
mutation of gold in the entire world
since the beginning of the Christian
era was estimated at 81 800, 900, 900.
At the close of the present year it
will amount to over $1,000, 000,0 900,
and increase of 100000, 900, or
three times the amount available in
184S. Such a stream of money pour
ed into the channels of trade has
given an immense impetus to the
growth of industry and commerce
everywhere, and is sufficient to ac-
count for the awakening of the last
half century.
The discoveries in South Africa
Alaska, Mexico and elsewhere arr
carrying the production to still high
er figures, the gold production il
1908 having amounted to $409 900,
0OO The total production of golt
for the first eight years of this cen
fury will doubtless reach $1,000,
100000, an amount greater than tn
worlds entire stock in 1S4S, and tn
rate is certain to increase. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the economi
and industrial effect which sue
amounts of new money will have, bu
it's results are beginning to be see
in the worldwide awakening t
which reference had been made. Th
economic changes certain to folio
are almost beyond the realm of spec
