THE PERGOLA AS A TABLE
 DECORATION

Everybody will miss the pretty dolls that smirked above floral dresses last season as plate favors. but some thing very new and beautiful has talk en their place-nothing less than a pergola This decoration consists of a narrow, trough shaped box with a trellis and sloping trells roof at the back and overhead. It is much like a Japanese bench, with latticed back and shelter. In the trough grow tiny ferns and palms with cut flowers, stuck gracefully among them and as cending to the roof, through which are poked clusters of small roses and chrysanthemums, with sprays of as paragus fern or something as deli cate. Wonderfully lovely effects can be produced by carrying the floral treatment in two bunches one at either end of the pergola, and also by arranging the flowers to form a ball cluster in the center of the lat tioe. Loops of ribbons. with rosettes, are draped across the edge of the pergola back of the flowers and beautiful centerpiece may be formed by placing the backs of two pergolas together These dainty novelties come in several sizes. The little ones are intended for dinner tables.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS
TO GET $4,000 ANNUALLY

Legislature Increases the Apropria-
tions to Those Institutions.
Fifteen thousand dollars will be
the annual appropriation made the
Third District Agricultural college at
Americas in future instead of only
$4,000, the sum heretofore appro-
priated by the legislature to the eleV-
en- district schools. The increase to
$4,000 was made in a special bill
passed by the legislature.
The appropriation of $4,000 each
to the agricultural schools is payable
out of revenues derived from the sale
of fertilizer tags and the inspection of
oils, and was increased to consume
the entire net revenue from these
sources, providing the aggregate did
not run above $4,000 annually to
each school.
Superintendent Collum, of the
Third district school, has for some
time been exerting his influence upon
friends in the legislature to the end
of securing for the district schools
an increased appropriation,

bullets pierced his heart. He was

Hillstrom wore his prison suit. A

price of cotton rising there will be a
tendency for farmers to return to the
, old system of gambling on cotton.
If the People of the South produced
their own living, the circular points
out, it would steady the whole sys-
tenn and keep the boat from rock
ing. The safety measures recon-
mended are the following:
Produce a home garden for every
family on the farm the year round,
paying special attention to plot OF
Irish or sweet potatoes sufficient to
supply the family with food of this
character. Where feasible have a
patch of sorghum or other cane to
produce syrup for the family
Produce the corn necessary to sup
port all of the people on the farm
and the live stock with absolute
safety.
Poduce the necessary oats and
other small grain to supplement the
corn as food. Pay attention to win
ter grazing.
Produce hay and forage from some
forage crop sufficient to supply all OF
the live stock on the farm. Use le-
gumes, such as clover, cowpeas, vel
vet beans, soy beans and alfalfa for
the production of hay and to enrich
the soil with nitrogen and humus.
Produce the meat necessary to sup
ply the people through increased at
tention to poultry and hogs especial
Iy. Plan to increase gradually the
number of cattle and other live stock
so as to have a sufficient number OF
cattle to fully consume the waste
products of the farm and make the
waste lands productive.
After all of these things have been
amply provided for produce cotton
for the market.

Booker T. Washington, educator,
writer and the universally recognized
leader of the negro race, who died a
few days ago at Tuskegee, Ala, at
his home THE Oaks" in midst Of the
great institution which he built out
of his race and to see which pilgrims
came from all parts of the earth, was
born in slavery near Hale's Ford, Va,
in 1857 or 1853. After the enamel
patton of his race he moved with his
family to West Virginia. He was an
ambitious boy, and saved his money
for an education. When he was able
to scrape together sufficient funds to
pay his stage coach fare to Hamp-
ton, Va, he entered General Arm
strong's school for negroes there and
worked his way through an academic
course, graduating in 1878.
Later he became a teacher in the
Hampton Institute, where he remain
ed until 1881, when he organized an
industrial school for negroes at Tus-
kegee. He remained principal of this
school up to the time of his death.
The institute started in rented
shanty church and today it owns D.
500 acres of land in Alabama and has
nearly 100 buildings valued at half
million dollars.
Washington won the sympathy and
support of leading Southerners by a
speech in behalf of his race at the
Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta
in 1895. OF undOubted ability and
breadth of vision his sane leadership
enabled him to accomplish more for
and among the negroes of the United
States than any other negro OF his
time.

In addition to his prominence as
an educator Washington gained con-
siderable fame as an author. He re-

That the coming business man will
be a total abstainer for the sake of
efficiency is the prediction made by
the president of Furman University,
South Carolina, and many people
agree with him. Some go even fur
Their, and believe that nationwide
prohibition IS inevitable within a few
years partly because of the position
taken by big business houses and
corporations which refuse to employ
men who drink. Certainly the atti-
tude of the individual towards this
question is the all-important one and
will be the determining influence.

INVENTS DEVICE TO
PREVENT COLLISIONS
Instrument Denotes Direction OF Fog
Horns at Sea. The Sounds
Are Standardized.

NEW YORK-Prof. A. G. Web
ster, of Clark University, Worcester,
Mass, in an address today at the ses-
sion Of the National Academy of Sci
ences told of an instrument he had
perfected for finding the direction Of
a fog signal, and which he expects
will rob sea travel of one of its great
est terrors. For years Prof Webster
has experimental with every kind Of
sound wave and today told OF his
work in regard to standarizing sounds
for fog horns and the development
of a receiving instrument capable Of
catching the signals.
The standard sound, which he
hopes will be adopted for navigation
so far as fog signals are concerned,
is formed by means Of tuning fork
arranged so as to hum in a resona-
tor by the passage of an electric cur
rent. The receiving instrument con-
sists of conical horns placed in pairs
with the small ends together, and
these catch the hum from the sig
mailing machine. A glass connected
with the receiving apparatus shows
by means of lights within the direc-
ton from whihc come the signal
sounds.
Heretofore, the speaker explained,
mariners have not been able to tell
within 40 degrees the direction from
which fog signals came.

strom was put to death by a firing
squad in the state prison here at
TAP a. m. today. His death was in
Simultaneous.
Hillstorm was convicted of the
murder of John G. Morrison a gro
cer and his son. Under Utah law
he was allowed to choose between
shooting and hanging.
Although self-possessed when he
faced his executioners he had a
sensational nervous collapse just pre-
viously. He tied the door of his cell
with strips torn from his blankets
and fought the guards fiercely with
the handle OF a broom he snatched
from an attendant in the corridor.
Hillstrom retired calmly last night.
He remained apparently in sleep I'M
til early this morning. About 4
o'clock he arose and began to shake
the cell door, shrieking as if in a
nightmare. The outside guards turn
ed in a general alarm and all the
prison officers rushed in.
The prison physician tried with
slight success to quiet the man.
Attacked the Guards.
When the guards arrived to take
him away Hillstrom attacked them
sayagely with the broom handle,
which he had broken in two, leav-
ing a sharp point on one piece. Dep
uty Warden IRE received a slight
wound in the arm from Hillstrom's
weapon. Hillstrom fought silently
until Sheriff Corless, for whom he
had previously manifested high re-
gard, arrived and appealed to him.
Joe, this all nonsense" said Cor
less What do you mean? You
promised to die like man"
HiIlstrom hesitated a moment and
then yielded ''Wel, I'm through, -
he said. 'FBut you can't blame a
man for fighting for his life. :"
The blanket strips he had tied to
the door were then cut, he was blind
folded and led to the place of execu-
ton, supported by two guards. He
talked necessarily in the few min
utes that elapsed between the time
Of his arrival and the firing of the
death volley. He asked whether any
of his friends were in the firing squad
and kept saying he was innocent and
would die like a man.
Fire" Let Her Col" He Cried.
His voice was clear but low. He
was quickly adjusted to the death
chair and the attendants drew aside
Hillstrom yelled Fire, let her go! -
a moment before the rifles cracked.
After he was seated the officers ask
ed him if he had anything to say.
He said:
