An Eccentric Russian Doctor.

The famous Russian, DR.. Zaharin,
who has died in Moscow and left over
100000, was noted for his eccentric
methods. When summoned to attend
Gar Alexander III. in his last illness,
Dr. Zaharin required the same prepar
alton for his visit to the palace as to
any of his patients houses. That is
to say, all dogs had to be kept out of
the way, all clocks stopped and every
door thrown wide open. He left his
furs in the hall, his overcoat in the
next room, his goloshes in the third,
and continuing. arrived at the bedside
in ordinary indoor costume. He sat
down after walking every few yards,
and every eight steps in going up
stairs From the patients relatives
and every one else in the house he re-
quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when his questions had to be
answered by Yes" or NO" and moth
ing more.

Dance Derived from the saxons.

The egg dance is a very old Eng
lish dance, which was probably de-
rived from the Saxons. Eggs were
placed at certain intervals on the
floor, and the dancer took his position
and was bindfolded. The music used
was the hornpipe, and to it the per-
former danced back and forth between
the eggs without touching them. The
position OF the eggs and the figures
danced seem always TO have been the
same. A similar feat was popular in
Holland in the seventeenth century,
and the Valencians in Spain have
much the same sort of dance at the
present time.

TAFT AND THE NEGRO.

From the Baltimore Sun.
A colored organization calling it.
self the National Negro American lea
que, which opposed Mr.. Taft's election
to the Presidency, has now adopted
resolutions condemning his policy
"the executive color-line policy
it is pleased to term it. The members
of tbs league are especially displeased
with the appointment Of a democrat
to the bench in North Carolina and
the failure of the President to ap-
point negroes to office.
In taking this stand the President
has proved himself the best possible
friend to the negro race. The hope of
the race for progress and recogni-
ton lies in industry and in the attain
ment of good citizenship in becoming
useful, law-abiding citizens.
Nothing has retarded this kind of
progress more than officeholding and
politics. When Mr.. Roosevelt appoint
ed a negro to the place of collector of
customs at Charleston he did more to
injure the colored race than can be
estimated. The celored people of
South Carolina were so inflated by thfs
appointment that their conduct did
much to interrupt the good and kind
ly feeling of the white people toward
them. Upon the attitude of the white
race in the south toward the negro
the future prosperity of the negro
principally depends. The policy which
Mr.. Taft has apparently adopted, and
which these negroes condemn, Is the
policy which will most surely estab
lish good feeling between the races
He can we'll afford to ignore criticism
from such a source.

it could be gotten there after the ar.

raised near Falfurrias, and reached
Houston five minutes after the Mer
cedes bale; quick rush was made
for the cotton exchange, but the bale
reached there a minute after the
other bale. A question which added
to the zest of the discussion today
was the fact that there was no bag.

came into Houston wrapped in duck
ing and tied with No. 10 wire. Bag
ging and ties had been shipped frop.
Houston, but did not reach Mer
cedes in time.
Early this morning the Mercedes
bale was stripped of. its ducking ant
jute was wrapped about the bale ant
tied with regulation ties. There wal
no dispute about the first bale, tn
Mercedes bale being bought by w. D
Cleveland & Sons at s425, this beins
the third year the firm has purchased

'If," he said, I'VE were to place
the same duty on long staple cotton
that isplaced upon WOOL it would bring
into the treasury $9000,000 of revenue
annually"
AS a meansof revenue, he said, the
210 bales of Egyptian cotton imported
into the United States annually should
not be overlooked. Mr.. Bacon esti-
mated that the low duty proposed by
him in ten years would bring into the
treasury $4O,O00,OOO. The fact that this
class of cotton is used in the making
of laces and high grade gods on
which the duties have been increased
in the pending bill, Mr.. Bacon said,
was an assurance that the duty of the
articles made from the long staple
product.
Senators Talliaferro and Fletcher
of Florida, declared that the people
of their state wanted the duty on long
staple cotton, and Mr.. Talliaferro ad
mitted tina they wanted it for the

ment the influence of woman is neces-
sary to the accomplishment of the
greatest good. The task of cleaning
up a town-of making people better
and more decent in every way-seems
to belong naturally to the feminine
accoutrement, and it is the one occu-
patton in which we of the sterner
sex give woman the right Of way and
the last word without dispute. 1t may
be that this disposition of men to
honor woman with the responsibility
of keeping folks clean is due some
what to the fact that it is rather
nasty job-but let that pass. The wo-
men do the work, and the records
show that they do it well. There IS
