WHERE IT Is The HOTTEST.
By w. q.

Except tho region Of his Satanic
maj est, we learn from Physical &C.
ography that the hottest place is that
along the Persian Gulf. Little or
no rain falls there, and the scorching
sun which beats down from early
morning to late III tho evening,
makes living there almost a torture;
next to Dives who 10 vain begged
Abraham to send Lazarus "to dip
the tip Of his finger in water TO cool
his parcbed toogue.'
Al Bahrem the arid shore has no
water. and the people living there
have a novel way Of obtaining drink
ing water. A. the bottom Of the
sea near the shore are many fresh
springs. The water is got by diving.
The diver winds large goat skin
bag around bis LETT arm, the hand
keeping tho mouth Of the bag closed.
Then he takes in his right hand
heavy stone. TO which is fastened .
long rope. Thus equipped, hs
plunges in, and sinking to the bot
tom, fills the bag with fresh water.
He then releases his hold on tho
stone, and returns to the surface.
Tho stone is hauled up again by the
rope, and after the water has settled
again, be dives and fills another bag.
The source OF the springs is sup
posed TO be the hills Of Osman,
which are severnl hundred miles
away.

the location Of these summer schools

the schools or by the appoint

plan so infinitely worked out that
within four months the thirty-six
thousand Negroes of Greater Nash
Vile will be reading the greatest Sc
cular journal published in any part
of the United States. The Nashville
Globe for six years has given a clean,
well-edited, newsy, neatly-printed,
high-class paper to is p~atrrns each
week, and for that reason it is the
home companion Of the citizens of
the greatest educational center in the
South.
In announcing the speci1l campaign,
the manager of the Glohe proposes
the following. The city Is to he laid
off in districts and some competent
young lady is to be put IN each dis
trict. Sample copies Of the paper
will be left at ever hong; subscrip
tions are to be solicited from these
homes at the regular rate of S150
per year, so cents for six months
and 40 cents for three months, in i'd
vance. These young ladies will work
from house o house, from door TO
door, from settlement TO settlement,
until the entire city will know for a
fact that they can get this paper.
To encourage the young ladies,
who have so readily consented to
serve, the following rewards are to
be given: 1 visible, latest improved
typewriter, price 800; : cabinet man.
tie, $40; 1 dressing table, SIS; 1 up
right piano, $500. These are not to
be contested for in prizes, as each
young lady will be paid a regular
commission for the subscribers taken
and for all monies collected and re-
ported, but these rewards are simply
being offered as tokens of the appre-
citation of the Nashville Globe Pub
fishing Company for the services that
will be rendered. While only three
of the solicitors have been selected,
the applications are coming in right
along and by the 18th of June it is
expected that the solicitors for the
Nashville Globe will be gently t"
ming at the door of every home in
Nashville, asking that they allow the
Nashville Globe to enter therein and
tecome a part of their daily life and
conversation. In addition to this,
the boys on the streets will be effer-
ing the Nashville Globe to each pass
er-by on Saturday morning.
The same amount of activity will
be used in nearby towns, especial
by the special carrier service, such as
is being used in Pulaski, Murfrees-
boro and other towns. The telephone
service at the Nashville Globe Office
will be improved. Those who do not
see the agents may give their sub
scriptions over the telephone. The
Office of the Nashville Globe will re
main open an hour and a half Later
each evening, to receive reports ant
to accommodate the public. A rd
deption hall is to be arranged al
the Nashville Globe office for the
/ convenience of the public.
The articles that are to be givei
away will be ON exhibition at the of

SUPREME oFFIcEHs OF U. 3. F.'s
HERE,

An effort is being made by the SUI
of Friendship to have Tennessee come
under their jurisdiction, 1t is claimed
that this state has been somewhat re-
bellious, or irregular. The matter
is to be thrashed out before the
courts, or at least according to state
ments made by friends of the or
der, that was the business of the
Hon. w. A. Gaines, of Lexington, KY,
who is National Grand Master of the
L. B. F.'s and the Hon. NJ. R. Perry,
of Pine Bluff, Ark, National Grand
Secretary, who were here this week
with their attorneys, taking deposit
tons and getting their legal points
in shape for the coming conflict that
will be vigorously waged in the
courts and which will settle the ques-
ton as to whether the U. B. F.'s OF
Tennessee are regular or irregular.
Some have gone so far as to state
that the attitude of the Tennessee U.
B. F.'s makes them a national or
supreme lodge within themselves.
The two supreme or national repre-
sentatives, who were in the city this
week. received the most welcome and
hospitable treatment during their
| stay. 1t was shown that while the
issues were closely drawn, no person
alities have been injected into the
contentious of the two factions. The
bulk of the present membership OF
Tennessee u. B. F.'s has elected
without much opposition, Mr.. P. F,
Hill. who has served in the capacity
as the head of the U. B. F.'s for sew
eral decades, and who at the meeting
last year was reelected.

Millionaire Suicides.

Chicago, March 2.-Fred X. Mauss,
millionaire director of the Scully Steel
and iron company, shot and killed
himself at his home today. The body
was not found until late tonight when
the police broke open the door of his
bedroom and found the body in a
chair, with a revolver in his right
hand. He had fired bullet into his
brain, the ball entering over his left
eye. Mauss is believed to have been
temporarily insane with grief over
the death of his wife.

The fact that Jake l.. Hamon has
invested in Ardmore realty, the fact
that he offered Walter Colbert $21 ,00C
for his home, is sufficient evidence
that Mr. Hamon believes the road

that Mr.. Hamon believes In Ardmore
In speaking of Mr. Hamon today a
close friend of his said Mr.. Hamon

more realty. He stated that Mr.. Ha'
mon could sell at Lawton at current
prices and invest the same money in
twice the amount of property in Ard
more and that Ardmore property will
double in value in ninety days.
Mr.. Hamon being interested in the
railroad evidently knows where the
line of new road will enter the city,
he evidently knows where the freight
and passenger depot will be located,
he knows the relative value of Ard
more property and he estimates that
the west end of town will make the

Scott Says Initiative and Referendum
Makes It Possible for Few People to
Suspend a Law Which the legisla-
ture May Have Passed.

Washington, D. c., March 3.-Rep
resentative Scott of Kansas in the
house today attacked the initiative
referendum and recall, characterizing
them as Revolutionary and subsersive
to our present system Of government. b"
"a new school of statesmen has
arisen," he said, wiser than Washing
ton or Hamilton, wiser than Franklin,
Madison, Clary, Calhoun, Lincoln, Nc
Kinley or Taft. Knowing more In
their day than all the people have
learned in the years since the found
ing of the republic"
He said he would hesitate to intro
duce into our government devices
which would have made it possible
for the Tories to have recalled Wash
ington, or the Copperheads to have
recalled Lincoln. He said the initia-
tive and referendum made it possible
for few people to suspend any law
which the legislature may have pass
ed in plain obedience to the mandate
of a majority of the people.
