AFRICAN EDUCATOR GUEST
OF BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE
Booker T. Says Negro Better Off
Than European Laborer

DURHAM, N. C., Oct 31.-Bookor
T. Washington, who is touring North
Carolina, was the guest of honor at a
banquet tonight given by the Durham
Business Mems league.
The negro educator in a speech ex-
pressed the belief that the condition
of the southern negro was far better
than that of the European laborer
The press, he said, accentuates the
crimes of the colored race, but he be-
lieves the public is beginning to under
stand the true conditions.
1.-THE mob and the lynching bee" he
said, Ego around the world the deeds
of goodness are not heard"
He declared that Of all the places in
the world he mas visited he has found
none where the white and colored races
living side by side dwell in such sat
isfactory relationship as they do in the
south.

HALT PARADE OF
1000 CHICAGO STRIKERS

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Four thousand
striking garment workers attempted to
make a demonstration in the down
town district this afternoon but were
turned back by the police without dis
order.
The strikers tried to cross the river
from the west side first at the Ran
dolph street bridge and then at the
Madison and Harrison street bridges.
At each crossing they were met by
mounted policemen, and finally gave up
the attempt.

Morris. While Schmidt lived at Corte
MADEIRA, a town located a mile from
Larkspur, he was frequently seen to
visit the canyon where the suit case
and dynamite were found.
The local police now hold the theory
that the trio of suspects are still hiding
in the vicinity of San Francisco. This
theory is based on the fact that the
chase has grown so hot that it is be-
Iieved impossible that man with a
glass eye, like Schmidt could be NOV
ing across the country and avoid cap
ture.
Mrs. Belle LAWN, the woman held in
the county Jail in connection with the
dynamiting, had another quiet day
yesterday. She anticipates another
cross questioning by Attorney Rogers

A HISTORIC HEAD,

There is grewsome controversy
on in England. II Is revolving in O
way. Commissioner OF Works Har
court has held that the British gov
eminent has no legal right to clair
"a relic, even II that relic is hung&s
head, and no authority to purchase
such an uncanny souvenir.
The head in question is supposedly
that of. Oliver Cromwell, The great
protector was originally buried in
Westminster Abbey. The body was
exhumed in 1861. At that time the
head Of Cromwell was removed. 1t is
said to have been embalmed and to
be yet in state of preservation. This
may or may not be true. 1t makes
no material difference. The mere
idea that the head Of man should be
bartered in the public markets Of the
world as famous relic is brutal
enough, and certainly is a morbid
thing to quarrel about.
In 1878, when the coffin of King
CharlesI. was opened, tooth. small
piece of the collar bone and portion
of the beard were surreptitiously re.
1t was not until the late King
succeeded in recovering the
remnant remains that they were
placed in golden casket and were
reinterred In the royal vault. from
which they had been originally ex
tracted. Surrey the head of Crom

Measuring Eye Jumps.

We know that an eye, at ordinary
reading distance, takes in about one
inch of a line at time, and that ia
reading line of an ordinary book the
eye makes five or six (more or less.
according to the length of the line) dis
tinct jumps But how many know
what direction the eye takes in making
these jumps? And. as the movements
are SO very minute and rapid, how have
they been studied? A very ingenious
means has been employed, as follows:
A beam Of light is thrown upon the
cornea of the eye under examination,
and this beam is reflected by the cor
nea on to Photographic plate. AS the
eye moves in reading the reflected beam
aiS1 moves, and upon developing the
plate, which is also kept moving, zig
gag line Is found. A study of such
Photographic tracings shows that the
eyes In turning back to pick UP the
next line have some difficulty in so do
ing.
The longer the line of print the great
err the effort, and for this reason we
may conclude that narrow line is bet
ter for an eye than long one, and il
the line be much wider than the ordi-
nary newspaper column there is great
er effort involved. Circular

Child Marrianes in India.

More than 100000 girls in India, 5

WORLDS OLDEST INDUSTRY.
Manufacture of Gun Fllnts-Stil
Used In Africa and Asia.

Probably the Oldest established bust
ness In the world is at Brandon, in Snf-
folk, where the manufacture of gun
hints has been carried on as the sue
cessor to the prehistoric manufacture
of arrow heads from the same mate
rial. 1t is estimated that for more than
ten thousand years flint working has
been carried on at that spot; the only
change made since those early days be-
ing in the introduction OF retal tools
for working the ilints in place Of the
stone and horn OF the average.
Gun tiints are still in use in various
parts Of Asia and Africa, where the
possession Of percussion cartridges is
forbidden to the natives. The average
weekly production IL still 10000,
though in the days when the flint lock
was the universal arm millions were
turned out weekly, since Brandon is
noted as producing the best flints made.
Gun iiints are not the only product,
however, for in Latin Europe the
'strike-a-light" is still given the pref
erence over matches, and OF these about
twenty thousand week are manufac-
tured for the Italian and Spanish trade.
During the Boer war $4,000 fiints were
issued to the British troops and were
found valuable in emergencies where
the ordinary match would not have
served.
The strata Of flint are in five layers
on Lingheath Common, mile south
east OF the village. Each miner works
by himself, employing the same meth
DDS as were followed by the earlier
workmen, the ground being uncovered
in layers or steps" that the dirt may
be carried away without the use Of
windlass and buckets.
The product is sold to the clippers,
who work at their homes In the village.
In spite of the fact that each blow Of
the hammer is from a different angle
and IL struck with various force, the
workman instinctively guides the chisel
and the fakes fall into the baskets in
an almost continuous stream. They
are shaped with a chisel-like hammer
on block of iron and are then packed
into barrels containing from 5000 to
10000 each.

remains of $4,000 eating debt for
which the tax was voted. This balls

that the Is cent levy exceeds this
sum it Is claimed to be Illegal
With respect to the general tau
levy Attorney Leek says, while the
state constitution limits the rate for
county purposes to rs cents on the
800 axable valuation, exclusive OF
certain other purposes, such as road
tax, school tax, etc. the state law
fixes the limit for all purposes at not

ter and Representatives Crawford and
Espy Representative Kirkpatrick
voted for Hopkins. Mr., Espy is the
only Democrat from this district. 1t
need not be assumed that his wife
was improperly Influenced because
those Of other Democratic members
were bought. The Democrats had
party reasons for wanting to see the
Republican party demoralized and
they saw chance to gain this pur.
pose by voting for Lorimer. Perhaps
the worst that can be said of those
Democrats who had only party rea.
SONS for voting for Mr.. Lorimer is
that they got mixed up in d very dirty
game; and this holds good also in the
cases of Republicans who repudiated
their own party primary, among
whom was Judge McElvain Of Muir

The result Of party primary Is the
expression Of the will Of the voters
of the party, and 1t ought to be car
ried into effect by those who profess
to represent and serve the people.
The dirty business in connection with
