which are peculiar. the qualities and
conditions which should be fostered
and those which should be eliminated.
But any study of the racial groups
should be subordinate to a study of
the community as a whole, socially,
politically and economically and phys
ically In an inquiry into social cor
ditions, the first question should be
that of how to mould the different ra-
cial groups into a single community.
A second closely related question
should be how to bring about a bet
ter understanding and more sympa-
thetic relation between the so-called
lower classes and the so-called upper
classes. Finally, the conditions
which produce poverty, congestion,
disease, immortality and crime should
be investigated and after that the
measures which need to be taken
along the lines of sanitation, educa-
ton and religious endeavor to bring
about improvement. With respect to
those city conditions which might be
termed political, the social survey
should ascertain the facts relating to
naturalization, the means of promot-
ing alert and honest citizenship and
would attack the problem of the most
appropriate and most effective plan
of the city organization. The spe-
officially economical part of the sur
vey should be divided between the
inquiry into the condition of the Ia
boring class, with attention to the
questions Of wages and hours labor
unions, welfare, work and industrial
education and to an analysis of the
business situation from the point of
view especially of measures designa-
ted to promote business progress
and to add to the efficiency of the or
of business interests. FL
nally, the portion of the survey de-
voted to studying the city physically,
should deal with the many problems
Of civic improvement and city plan

the Importance Of measuring and de-

Microscopic Measurement.

The measurement Of microscopic OBJ
jects is done by rulings on glass,
which are produced by wonderfully
delicate machines. These rulings are
constructed so as to accurately divide
an inch or any other unit Of measure
ment into any desired number Of
parts-as. for instance, one one-hun.
dredth of an inch or one one-thou-
sandth of an inch or even one ten
thousandth Of an inch. The finest rul
ings thus far produced by any Of the
machines are at the rate Of something
like 100000 to the inch. Some idea Of
the closeness of the ruled lines can be
obtained from considering that thou
sand such lines would occupy only the
space included In the thickness Of

Prof. Browns Address.

st. Louis, Mo-, May 24.-The right
and duty Of the states to supervise
the county and local charitable insti-
buttons and jails, which have long
been questioned by local politicians
and managers of such institutions,
were very clearly established by
Prof. Demarchus c. Brown, of Indian
apolis, in an address before the ma
tional Conference of Charities and
Correction here this morning Prof
Brown has for many years been a
member of the board of state chart
ties of Indiana, and as such has been
exercising the function of supervision
of local institutions in his state. He
pointed out that the Supervision" ex-
ercised by his board has not amount
ed to management, but through 1t the
condition of the county jails and coun-
ty infirmaries has been greatly i'm
proved because of the expert knowi-
edge which members of such board
can give to superintendent, sheriffs,
jailers and similar officials, as we'll
as through local publicity which can
be given to bad conditions by such
bad supervisory board. Estate boards
of charities" said Prof Brown, "are
in most cases free from partisan poll
tics, and very properly therefore are
competent to supervise and suggest
in matters of manage
ment to local authorities, when there
is a disposition to make capital out
of the unfortunates in local institu-
tons. II there is a local board of
supervision, as is the case in Indi-
ana, a central board can back it up
by advice and by calling upon public
opinion, which, when aroused, is very
powerful factor, and one to be APP.
pealed to in an emergency I have
always felt that advisory and super
visory powers exercised by a state
board with sympathy, tact, and cour-
age, would accomplish the results de-
sired, and that it is unnecessary to
clothe such a board with administra-
tive power"

FAMOUS GOODWOOD.
Something About a Historic English
Race Course,


The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. It is a long way from a sta
ton and is not near any town, says the
London Taller. 1t is on hill the top
Of which is shaped like a horseshoe.
the space between the two horns being
course runs round the horseshoe, the
start being at the end of one horn and
the finish at the end Of the other. The
result Of this is that the equestrians
who on other courses contrive to see
both start and finish by the simple
is in progress cannot do so at Good
wood. They must elect which they
will see and remain there. On the
other hand. the course is very easy to
follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern. but there must
have been hunt races and matches ON
this course since the days of William
Ill, when we hear of the Goodwood
hunt as in existence. In 1900, how
ever, the then Duke of Richmond
made a new course, which is practical
ly the present one. In 1901 the course
was completed, and in order to cele-
brate this a regular meeting was got
up by the duke with the assistance Of
the hunt and some officers Of the Sus.
sex militia and yeomanry, and prizes
to the value of about $1,000 were put
up. This meant a good sum in those
days. This was the first Goodwood
meeting of Importance, and from that
year it became an annual event.

Special to The Neps.
Gulfport, Miss, May 24.-As the
result Of an alteration that occurred
at the corner of Thirtieth avenue and
Twenty-first street Sunday afternoon,
between JEFF MCGEE and Alex Rich
ards, both negroes, MCGEE was fatally
shot through the left breast and Rich
ards was stabbed in the back.
The motive for the shooting was
jealous on the part of Richards over
McGee's attention to Richards dusky
paramour. The rival blacks met at
the corner mentioned and MCGEE, it
is alleged, began to abuse Richards.
The latter retorted by hard blow on
the jaw, which felled MCGEE, and Sc
rious trouble seemed imminent when
friends interviewed.
MCGEE left the scene of the trou-
BILE swearing vengeance on his an
tagonist. He went to his room, and
arming himself with a knife, returned
to the corner, whereupon the trouble
was renewed MCGEE advanced on
Richards with his open knife, where
upon Richards drew SO Smith &
Wesson gun and fired three shots, one
of which took effect in the left breast
of MCGEE, but not before the latter
had stabbed Richards in the back.
The tragedy caused considerable
excitement in the neighborhood,
which is thickly populated by negroes,
and which is called the negroes
quarters"
News of the shooting reached Capt
John Spiers, at the central sattion,
who with Officer Wright, soon reached
the scene. Richards was arrested in
a nearby drug store, where he was
carried to have his wounds dressed,
and was locked up in the central sta
ton, charged with murder.
