EXHIBITS NEGRO EXPOSITION SHOW
 RACES PROGRESS
Amazing Are Displays from Farm, Industries, Schools
 at Richmond.

Richmond, Va, July 10.-The Ma tional Negro exposition, the first af- fair of the kind ever undertaken, was formally opened last Monday and the first week has demonstrated an interest in it among the white people, as well as the negroes, far beyond what had been expected by it's de- signer and promoter, Giles B. Jack son of this city.
 The number and character of eX- hibits have amazed those who have inspected them, in that they attest a measure of progress on the part of colored people of the country greatly beyond what was generally believed to have taken place. These exhibits come from almost every state and the larger cities of the South, North and East along with some from the Far West. They came from institutions from schools, industrial plants, farms, and from individuals in vari- ous lines of work.
 "These things show what education does for the negro" said Director General Jackson. "Everything here is the result of hard work on the part of the negroes of the country.
 "The white people of the country, when they see this great exhibition, can but feel proud of the descendants of the nations wards of half a cen- tury ago. We want the white peo- pie to come to our exposition. we want to show them what we are doing in the industrial and education al lines.''
 Jackson, who is a successful and popular negro lawer, obtained liberal cooperation from the federal govern ment, from the legislature Of New York and from the city council of Richmond, all these making large ap- propriatiOnS for the undertaking.

T was in . little town out in Kansas. about two years ago, and wanted to get to another small town 15 miles distant.

Why Glass Cracks,

You have learned by experiences that cold water will crack a hot glass. or hot water a cold glass. But did you know that . thick glass will crack muca moro readily under such treat ment than thin glass? When hot water strikes cold glass. for example. the heat of the water is quickly com- municated to the glass next 1t, caus. Ing the glass to expand. If the glass Is thin, the heat is quickly communi. eated to both sides of the glass SO that they expand together without damage. But if the glass Is thick the heat Is slow in getting through and the side next the hot water expands SO much more rapidly than the other side that tho glass Is cracked.~-The Amart san Boy.

THE CHARM
 OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
 cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her. self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than 8 happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed childbirth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am ole time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

Yet 1t carries. the prayer for joy with

And it throbs with a big. friendly

When discouragement darkens the
way,
Will illumine our hearts with the glori-
Gus light
OF hopeful and sun frightened day.
When failure confronts us and darkens
our goals,
How we long for the clasp of hand!
1t is then that we cry from the depths
of our souls
For a friend who can just under

the strength
That we lack in the vortex of strife
For 1T lightens our load as we travel
the length
or the care-laden path we call Life

Loom colossal above all the host
That the best of Gods gifts are the

To our side when we need them the

HOW TO KEEP BABIES WE'LL
Care For Them Sensibly in Hot
Weather, a Bulletin Says

Care For Them Sensibiy in Hot
Weather, a Bulletin Says
Hot weather is hard for babies. A
branch of the Mothers Congress in
Atlanta has begun a campaign to save
the babies of that city and to keep
them well through. the heat of sum-
mer It has issued bulletin, which
deals first with the importance of pure
milk Next in Importance is fresh air
and GOODNESS. The bulletin says:
Keep the baby cool with frequent
baths, light clothing and the selection
of the coolest available place for him
to play and sleep. Give him a full tub
bath every morning, and, IL 1t is a hot
day, and he is restless, one or two
sponge baths a day. A cool bath at
bedtime often makes him sleep better.
For a young baby have the water tepid,
neither hot nor cold to the mothers
elbow. For an older baby 1t may be
cooler, but must never be cold enough
to chill or frighten him.
After the bath. pat him dry: see
| that the folds and creases are dry,
using q little pure talcum powder or
sifted corn starch to prevent chafing.
| If prickly heat redness shows, use
no soap in the bath. Often a starch
bath, or a bran bath or a soda bath
will relieve this.
For a bran bath put a cupful of or
binary bran in a cheesecloth bag and
soak and squeeze in the bath until
the water is milky. For a starch bath
use a cupful of ordinary cooked starch
to a gallon of water. For soda bath
dissolve a tablespoonful of ordinary
baking soda in a little water, and add
to it four quarts of water.
Dress the baby only in soft alI-cot-
ton garments. Never let wool cloth
! ing touch his skin in summer.
Starched clothing scratches him; don't
use 1t.
Do not be afraid of fresh air for the
baby. He cannot have too much OF
it. Night air is often even better than
day air. because it has been cooled
and cleansed of dust by the dew.
A screened porch on the shady side
of the house is a boon to every mother
affording a cool, secure place for the
baby to play and also to sleep. Let
him have his daytime maps ON the
lporch. and sleep there at night dur
ling the heat.

sity. In 1857 q scientific expedition
to the equatorial Andes and the River
Amazon was organized under the aus
pices of the Smithsonian Institution,
and Prof. Orton was selected as its
leader. AS result of this expedition
many hitherto unknown specimens of
natural history were collected and to-
day form portions of the collections in
the museums of such well-known de-
positories as the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition at Washington, the Philadel-
phia Academy of Natural Science, the
Boston Society of Natural History. the
Peabody Academy of Science, and
Vassar College, while the bulk of the
collection was purchased by Ingham
University.
Upon his return to the United
States Professor Orton was offered the
College in 1869. with which institu-
ton he remained until his tragic
death in 1877. In 1873 he made a
second journey across South America
from Para up the Amazon to Lima,
Peru, and to Lake Titicaca, making
valuable chronological collections of
Incarial relics. In 1876 he organized
exploring the Great Benz River, a
branch of the Madeira, one of his
companions being DR.. Edwin Ruthven
Heath, the well-known discoverer of
the River Heath in South America,
who is still living, hale and hearty, in
Kansas City, Missouri.
This expedition reached the mouth
of the river, where most of the equip
ment and supplies were lost Orton
and his few companions made the
terrible 60-mile journey back to La
Paz through forest and jungle amid
incredible hardships, but on crossing
Lake Titicaca on the way to Puno
the intrepid scientist died September
| rs. 1877, from the exposure incurred.
Subsequently his remains were taken
| to Esteves Island by sympathetic
friends, and some years ago a Scotch
engineer by the name of Creighton
built with his own hands the rough
monument which now marks the spot
where, ito the everlasting requiem OF
Titicaca's ceaseless waves, almost in
the very shadow of the snow-capped
peaks he loved so well, James Orton
sleeps"

An American Martyr to Science

T.<AR away in South America, on a
small and unfrequented island in
the Lake of Titicaca, stands
little crumbling tombstone roughly
built of stones by sympathetic hands,
which serves to mark the last rest
ing place of a once-noted American
explorer, Professor James Orton. Not
very many now living remember the
modest, kindly scholar whose work
advanced the cause of human knowl-
edge, and in whom the gentle nature
of the poet was linked with the daring
spirit of the explorer of unknown
wilds Only in the hearts of his sur
viving relatives and of Vassar gradu-
ates of some forty years ago is his
memory enshrined, and until recently
comparatively few even of these re-
membered how Orton lost his life and
where his body lay buried. They have
now, however, learned something of
the particulars of his death and the
location of his grave, and a move
ment has been started among the
Vassar alumnae of the days of the
early seventies, among their daugh-
ters and granddaughter, and soon a
marble shaft will rise to mark the
spot where, Far from tourist travel
and the worlds unheeding race
James Orton sleeps
An article by Edward Albes in the
Union served to awaken the memories
of those who had forgotten, and
struck a responsive cord in the hearts
| of the elder Vassar women. 1t was
their old professor who lay there,
"far from kindred, home and friends,
almost unknown and certainly un-
sung"-as the writer had it-and as
soon as the knowledge came to them
they determined to show the world
| that Vassar's alumnae were equal to
the occasion. A committee had been
appointed to collect a fund by private
subscription. fund that will be ade-
quate to provide a suitable monu-
ment, and the work is being system
atically and Zealously carried on.

Pe~SoYeso~ia
By the Ex- Committeeman

Democrats in eastern Pennsylvania
are smiling somewhat over the effort
to revive interest in the State Fed
Grafton of Democratic Clubs. which
was one of the schemes of the reor-
ganization element which fell fiat al
though planned to be a wonderful or
ganization. Last year when the clubs
met at York there were less than zoo
delegates and more notable from out
of the State than in. Now scheme
is under way to have the federation
again honor York. Scranton. Will
Transport, Allentown and Reading
have not made any bids and the York
Young Mems Democratic Society has
Matched a scheme to have Secretary
Wilson make a speech there in sep
tember and has suggested that the
federation meet there at the same
time.
State Chairman Morris is said to
have decided to wait while before
having a State committee meeting and
that may be suggested for York at the
same time. so that the triple occasion
would at least mean crowd.
Plans for a complete change in
the organization of the Lackawanna
county Democratic committee were
adopted by the committee of ten
named at the joint meeting of the
Democratic committees some time ago
to draft a new set of rules. The plan
will be submitted to the Democratic
county convention which will be held
on Friday night. The salient feature
of the changes will provide for the
election of a county chairman to con-
tinue in office for two years. other
changes, as a compromise, were de-
cided upon. One of these is the di-
vision of the county into six districts,
with chairman, elected for two years.
to have charge of each division and to
be responsible for the progress of
Democracy.
