THE WHITE NILE.
Mr. Roosevelt,s Description Of Night on
the Great African River.

Mr.. RooseveIt's Description Of Night on
the Great African River.
We had come down through the Sec
ond Of the great Nyanza lakes. As we
sailed northward its waters stretched
behind us beyond the ken of vision. to
where they were fed by streams from
the Mountains Of the Moon. On our
left hand rose the frowning ranges on
the other side Of which the Kongo
forest lies like a shroud over the land.
On our right we passed the mouth of
the Victorian Nile, alive with mcn-
strous crocodiles and its banks barren
Of human life because Of the swarms
Of the fly whose bite brings the tor
ment which ends in death. AS night
fell we entered the White Nile and
steamed and drifted down the mighty
stream. Its current swirled in long
curves between endless ranks Of plum
ed papyrus. White and blue and red
the floating water lilies covered the
lagoons and the still inlets among the
reeds, and here and there the lotus
lifted its leaves and flowers stihy
above the surface. The brilliant trop-
ic stars made lanes of light on the lap
ping water as we ran on through the
night. The river horses roared from
the reed beds and snorted and plunged
beside the boat, and crOcodiles slipped
sullenly into the river as we glided by.
Toward morning a mist arose and
through it the crescent of the dying
moon shone red and lurid. Then the
sun famed aloft, and soon the African
landscape vast, lonely, mysterious,
stretched on every side in simmer
ing glare Of heat and light, and ahead
of us the great, strange river went
twisting away into the distance. -
Theodore Roosevelt in Scribner's.

all kinds of jardinage. If it arises a
degree higher he turns up his nose at
fricassees and ragouts. Another de-
gree and he will rather go to bed sup
PEERLESS than taste plain roasted veal
or poulets of any sort. This Is the ut
most length his passion has ever come
hitherto, for when he was at the court
with Mile. Marchenville, though she
put him entirely from green's, ragouts
and veal. yet she made no impression
on his roast beef or mutton appetite.
He fed plentifully upon those in spite
of her charms. I intend to make a
thermometer for the dukes passion
with four degrees-Q) green's, ~ fr1c-

Pawninq Bank Bills.

"Pawnbrokers don't think much Of
ten dollar bills as pledges" said the
city salesman. II saw a man pawn
one the other day for $3.50. When
asked why he didn't spend his SO in
stead Of soaking it for little more
than half the amount he explained that
he wanted to keep that particular bill.
Twice before he had tried to keep
certain bill by giving it as security to
a friend who had so many bills that he
wouldn't need to spend that particular
one, but both times the friend got his
money mixed and the keepsake was
lost after all. This time he depended
upon the pawnbroker to tide him over.
To pawn money struck me as very
curious proceeding, but the broker as
sured me that it is frequently done by
people who attach sentimental value
to particular bill or coin."-New York

The labor unions Of the city have
accomplished great good in securing
better conditions for their members.
1t has been proved throughout the CIV
ilized world that the individual work
man cannot secure these conditions by
himself and that unions or the princi-
pie Of collective bargaining is neces-
sary to protect the workman from ex-
ploitation. Most of the strikes in
New York city have had the object Of
securing recognition Of the union or

in workshops and immunity from un-
just discrimination and harassing
treatment of workers.

adequate publicity to the actual condi-

was susceptible to feminine charms.
He had Just fallen victim to the

mission Of New York city in it's con-
sideration Of the varied topics over
which it is dividing its attention has
evolved a plan for the establishment
Of municipal commission for the ar
bitration of local labor troubles. The
author of the plan is John J. Flynn,
chairman Of the commissions subcom-
mittee on labor and wages. Mr.. Flynn
outlines his plan as follows:
IF high enough wages are not paid
to enable workers to maintain a good
standard of living in New York city
the worker and his family are apt to
become charges upon public or pri-
vate charity. The total estimated cost
Of public and private charity In New
York city is now about $35, OOO, 900 an
nually, Of which the city spends about
SIS, 100000. To provide enough hos
pitfalls and institutions and to furnish
proper relief to the poor the city
should spend $2o,oOO,O0O to $25, 100000
year.
"Most Of the poverty In the city is
caused by low wages, lack Of employ
ment. lack of training on the part Of
the workers and insanitary tenements
and work places. The city has to pay
the cost resulting from these condi-

Deputy Sheriffs Flanagan and Gardipee.
Summonses for several persons who are
supposed to know something about the al

issued and served last night. Arrange

More than two weeks ago Kemmering
learned that a charge OF accepting brihe
was about to be filed against him and he
disappeared. Judge William A. Redick, be-
fore whom the West case was tried issued
a caplas for Kemmerlings arrest. Sheriff
Brailey's deputies secured the city for him
in vain.

himself up. He employed A. s. Ritchie, at

County Attorney English were closeted
with Judge Redlck. After a conference
Judge Redck ordered the sheriff to return
the capias without service and permitted

Telegraph Company
Must Pay Damages
Supreme Court Renders Verdict in
Favor of Grain Company Because
of Failure to Deliver Message.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-Because the
Western Union Telegraph company failed
to transmit message from Detroit Mich.
to Kansas City Mo. after accepting IT,
the supreme court Of the United States
today held the telegraph company liable
for more than $500 damages. The company
received 40 cents to send the message.
The Commercial Mining company OF De-
troit gave the Western Union Telegraph
company a message there to be delivered
TO a grain elevator company in Kansas
City, Mo. The message got as far as Chi
cago, where 1t was lost. AS a result the
Detroit company claimed IL had been dam
aged 50 OOO by the failure, thus to make a
purchase Of wheat.
The message was written on a telegraph
blank which contained an agreement that
in case OF nondelivery the telegraph COM
pany would be liable only for the amount
received for sending the message.
The trial court held that the contract
was invalid, because It was in conflict with
a state law that regulated the liability.

sTAT1s By CENSUS OF 1910.

WASHINGTON Nov 2S.-With a popula-
tion Of 5,69S5s1 and a gain in the last ten
years OF almost II per cent, as shown by
the announcement today Of the result Of
the recent census, Illinois Is assured con-
tinusnce as the third state Of the union.
only New York and Pennsylvania outrank
II, while Ohio, which occupies fourth place
falls almost a million below.
The increase in Illinois is somewhat
greater than that of any OF the middle
western states whose population SO far
have been announced, Michigan showing
only a little over 16 per cent, Missouri G
per cent, Indiana somewhat more than 7
per cent, Kansas 10 per cent, Ohio not
quite Is per cent, and Iowa indicating a
loss.
Even Illinois Is, however, outdi stanced by
the larger eastern states for which figures
have been given New York, Massachus-
etts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, all
show larger percentages Of gain.
The announcement for Illinois merely
emphasizes the fact that the greatest gains
are in the cities. OF the G7O1 additions
to the population Of that state 4s6,7OS were
In Chicago alone, and study of the map
OF the state shows that the principal coun-
ties in which increase was indicated were
those containing cities Of 1000 and up
wards Chicago Is shown to possess about
two-fifths of the state population.
Forty-nine OF the 102 counties OF the state
showed decreases in population during the
last ten years, while twenty other counties
showed gains of less than 1900 during the
decade The loss in no instance exceeded
5000
The state should gain at least four con-
gressmen II the proposed number appor-
tionment law should be based as at present.
