but full supply in all lines, as it is
found next door in the grocery or
he cigar or the glove or the ribbon
store. is practically unknown outside
OF the largest cities. The books are
ink and leather goods, if not candy,
or in the huge department store be-
tween bathing suits and trunks. In
the one case, there is no bacEiingot
est means In the other case, there
is no profit, as the books are on the
whole added to attract the people
who might happen to buy an UNI

cases there is nothing at hand which
has not the probability of im,r ediate

The announcement of a conference
of the dark races of the earth is caus-
ing no little CONSERVATION in many
quarters. Attention to this particu-
lar news item is convincing of the
vastness and Importance attached to
the proposed conference. This week
in speaking to gentleman in Nash
vile who has travelled extensively,
going many times abroad, it is learned
for the first time that a movement of
this sort has been under way for
about six or seven years-in fact, the
truth of the matter is that represen-
tatives from all of the great peoples
of the earth, who are put in the dark
class, even the Mongolians and Ma
lays, as in many countries their clas-
sification has been questioned, the
decision being generally reached that
they belong to the darker race, will
take part in this movement This
conference will not be held in the
United States or Mexico, as was first
thought, but in some foreign country
where it is said that a hearing re-
gardless of race and full representa-
tion can be had, for many of the races
do not care to come to America
While the informer was not very
talkative on the subject he hands out
sufficient information, that has not
been given to the press heretofore to
substantiate beyond doubt that there
is more to this conference than ap-
pears on the surface. Their object
is not regarded as hostile to the
peace of the earth, but to the con-
trary is said to be looking to the es-
tabhshment of permanent peace,
and to encourage their efforts
along other lines. This was
picked out from the few scat
tering remarks and answers to
questions that Italy, Spain, or France,
or possibly Egypt would be among
the countries that would probably en-
tertain the conference. 1t will, no
doubt, be styled the Conference of
