RESTORATION OF
THE cAMPANILE.


In the city of Venice, a while ago,
a tower which had no other material
use than as lookout for fire watch
man fell suddenly in ruins Battle
ments and thrones have fallen in Eur
ope, and the world, being better off,
did not car. But the echoes of these
stones of Venice struck upon the
hearts of all Christendom, and made
pulses skip a throb or course, it
was not because there are not more
efficient methods of fire alarm. What
ever the utility of this one, it belong
ed to Venice. It's delight to the eye,
it's power to win "the best of the
senses" made it one of the treasures
of the world. So. forthwith, gifts Of
money were fastened to Venice that
she might not delay to restore. this

Some Gossip Gathered From
The Gay American Metropolis

ton. According to this yarn a Mr..
Amos Kidder-that name was an in
spiration-who is dealer in chickens
at Speakertown, n. j., was dry-picking
some broilers for the New York mar
ket the other day, when q brilliant
idea came to him. Without delay he
proceeded to test this idea as to it's
practicability. He started the vacuum
cleaner which he had bought for his
wife few days before and, taking up
one of the broilers, began to rub the
nozzle of the cleaner over it. The eff
feet was marvellous. The suction re-
moved the feathers SO thoroughly that
the smuggling of the usually remaining
down could be dispensed with. Then
another brilliant idea struck Mr.. Kid
der. He tied pillow case to the re-
ceiving end of the vacuum cleaner
tube and continued his feather-suck-
ing operation. In a few minutes the
pillow case was filled with feathers
and all that was left to be done was to
sew up the opening. Who can beat
that?
Regular patrons of the Brooklyn
bridge trains have been wondering
lately at the large number of sickly
and invalid men gathered upon the
platforms, waiting to ride to Brook
| Ign. The peculiar phenomenon re-
manned a puzzle for several weeks, but
at last the solution was found. Some
time ago a new regulation was enforc-
ed at the bridge terminal, according to
which women, children and invallds
were given precedence in entering the
| trains. Some schemers of the mascu-
line description, knowing that they
| could not pose at women or children
pretended to be invalids, SO as to be
admitted to the cars ahead of the
equally healthy but less ingenius other
male passengers who had to wait until
all women, children and invalids. gen
| uine and bogus, has been seated. l,
is expected that the attempt to enforce
the new regulation will make prevari
Gators of many Brooklynites who have
heretofore had a reputation for homes

(Toledo Blade.)

When the Royal Mail liner Atrato
landed at Colon with IS stowaways ne
groes from Barbados, Jamaica and
Trinidad. the number was just one
third of the stowaway record for West
Indian waters as made in 1907. In that
year dirt was flying along the canal
route as never before. since diggers
and steam shOvels worked in manner
unprecedented on the isthmus. The
negroes OF the West Indies almost
went wild with the desire to get to
Panama, where the United States gov
eminent would pay them 10 cents an
hour. sum that they considered NUM-
ficent when they thought of the maxi
mum wage of two cents an hour to be
earned on their native islands.
At Bridgetown, on the Island of Bar
bados, the canal commission had an
agent to contract for negro labOrers.
He chartered the Solent to transport
1000 Barbadian negroes to Colon. To
get them on board required good
part of a day. AS evening approached
1t was found that negroes who had not
been engaged were sneaking on the
Solent. During the dusk mob of ne
groes, crazy to get to Panama to line
their pockets with gold by digging
plain dirt, swooped down on the YES
sell Those that didn't crawl up the an
Choir chains and the ropes thrown over
the sides by their more fortunate fell
lows on board literally scaled the sides
of the ship. They went through port
holes and over the rails to mix with
the ofiicially hired help" of Uncle
Sam. What the captain said about all
"niggers" being alike need not be re.
peated here. BY the time he got out OF
vessel looked to those on shore likqe
an imitation Black Hole OF Calcutta
but the crowd on board was happy
The members of the black cargo yelled
and waved their bandannas; those
that had none found that their shirt
tails made just as good flutter on the
breezes.
When they landed in Colon it was
discovered that instead Of 1900 ne
groes, 1895 passed down the gangway
Even though most of the 1875 who were
not accounted for on the Solent's sail
ing list were known to be negroes who
had failed to pass the physical exami
nation in Barbados, they were put tt
work, for the government needed
workmen badly in those days.

to say that members of the elder
Brewster family were my ancestors"
Brewster exported 30 many negroes
to Panama that the planters COM
planned of their inability to secure la
borers. The negro women were left
in Barbados, but even they did not
work in sufficient numbers to harvest
the sugar cane crop. Some performed
their periodical labor in coaling the
boats; a great many did not work at
all, since their husbands were sending
them money from the canal zone.
The Barbadian negroes working on

who was turned down by the Repub-

being talked of now as a candidate for
congressman-at-large next year.
1t is believed Mr.. Tawney rather
would make the race in his old district
for vindication but il he consents to
be a candidate at large his decision
will be accepted as an admission on

strong enough in the First district to
give him another drubbing if he gets
