condition ne was destined to NEE; other
conditions which would prove TO be a se-
rious curse to his physical existence be-
cause Of the fact that he was ignorant
and unprepared for his new and almost
abnormal environment.
BY force Of circumstances the average
Negro lived a more simple life. At night
there were few places for him to frequent
There were not many late suppers. all
night balls and gambling parties. houses
of vice and gilded debauchery to rob him
of vitality and sleep There were no sa-
looms In which he could spend his spare
hours drinking poisonous liquors; no de-
structive cigarettes for ignorant and un-
thinking boys and many other vices that
are weakening the race today.
Somebody says that the white man does
the same things and is living longer. Why
cant We? | say that the woodchopper
wields the ak all day and comes home
singing. Why can't the bank clerk leave
his desk and do the same thing7 Don't
understand me to say that the white
mans longevity under like conditions Ia
due to the fact that he has practiced the
vices SO long as to become immune from
the results. but rather 1t is due to his in
creasing knowledge OF the laws OF his be-
ing. and the majority OF such are striving
to keep those laws
The second and most important reason
may be found in the fact that the human
body Is absolutely under the control of
mental states. Every student Of mental
laws has read that most destructive pol
sons are generated by adverse mental con-
ditions. such as fear. hate. worry, anger.
grief. sad and gloomy thoughts.
Under mental states We nay consider
the power OF suggestion. In the past Il
has been used by all classes and condi-
tion of man. Like a two edged sword
suggestion has killed unnumbered MIL
lions. II has been the phyaicisn's great
est balm and most destructive poison.
The doctor with his ''Ill cure you. but It
will take long time" has made q linger-
Ing patient. while the opposite suggestion
would have caused a quick recovery.
Then comes the ignorant doctor with his
death dealing Il have done all that can
be done; there is no hope for you" who
has administered a poison far more harm
ful than the disease itself
The sincere minister in the revival
meant no wrong when he said to the sim
ner: Come to Chris, now. Some of you
Will never see another revival season
again But he sent Innocent victims to
death just as truly as did tho assassin's
bullet The kind mother did not know
wha, she was doing when shc said to her
son or daughter. You are the most stupid
child in the world. and you will never
AMOUNT to anything" How different mat
'srs might have been had she known that
IN her words was the power TO make

EFFECTS OF MENTAL STATES
Learned Scholar In Philosophical
Statement Says the Time Has Como
For the Negro 70 Do Constructive
Work-We Are More Susceptible to
Disease Now Than Ever.

In written interview on some rea-
sons why the American Negro is dying
30 rapidly. the Rev. j. Andrew Patter-
son, noted author and psychologist Of
Orange, N. j., says:
1t has been said by scientists and stats
ticians that the Negro is dying faster
than he Is being born. II has also been
stated that because OF disobedience on tho
part of parents to prenatal and postnatal
laws the majority Of the younger genera
tions OF the present and those Of the near
future are and will be inherently weaker
than their parents.
The foregoing statements being true. 1t
Is evident that a race that is dying faster

CHARLTON HEARING UP TO-DAY
If Declared Insane, Father Would See
That Youth Be Confined.

If the alienists declare that Porter Charl-
ton is insane he will be placed in an asylum
by his father-that is, if the Italian gov
eminent does not take him to that country
for trial for the murder of his wife. This
was the opinion expressed yesterday by
Edwin Smith, of Jersey City. who is the
legal representative for Charlton in New
Jersey, as his law partner. ex-senator Will
lam D. Edwards, who previously appeared
for Charlton, sailed yesterday for vaca-
ton trip abroad.
His father said Mr.. Smith, looks at
this case in as nearly a disinterested way
as is possible under the circumstances, and
I believe he intends to do only the right
thing by his son and the public
The hearing of Charlton is set down for
to-day before Judge Blair. in the County
Court. at Jersey City, but it is probable
that it will be continued. Mr.. Smith said
there was nothing to do. they were
awaiting action of the Italian government,
and that if nothing was done within sixty
days, the time fixed under the federal
statutes. then Charlton would be released.
His father would then take action.
Charlton is leading the simple life in the

breakfast and after walk along the cor

Fidelity Funding Company went into the

large number of Catholic institutions which

Indebtedness according to its computation,

The Carnegie Trust Company was the best
supplied with collateral of all the dozen or
more Eastern financial institutions hit by
the failure of the Fidelity Funding Com
PAM. Shortly before the failure several OF
the banks. feeling that they needed more
security behind the Keiran notes. appointed
a committee. consisting of George W.
Young. of the windsor Trust Company;
James s. Alexander. of the National Bank
Of Commerce and ex-Justice Morgan J.

Recommendation Camps Estab-

Washington, July THE reconcentradc
system in Cuba, which caused widespread
criticism just before the war with Spain
has been in1ita ted in Nicaragua by the gov
eminent authorities, according TO adVlces
received by the State Department to-day
Probably FIVE thousand persons IN the VI
1inity of the city o: Granada are ordered
to concentrate at Granada, under an ofaer
issued by Sebastian Salines, political cnlef
and connn1andaht of the forces in the De-
partment Of Granada
This order was published IN "El COM
riaereio" a Managua newspaper. and is as
follows:
Within twentv-four hours from the pres
ent moment all the Inhabitants OF the MoHl-
bacho ridge shall assemble at Granaud'
without distinction Of sex or age
Persons not complying with TINS resui
ton shall be treated as revolutionary ana
dealt with as such
According TO the view here. this order
would give the Granada military regime
sufficient pretext to go to the Monbacho
ridge where a spontaneous Tevo!utlon re-
GENTLY was put down, and shoot or Kill any
one who refused to obey the concentration
