WHAT is THE NOBLE PRIzE2

We have been asked number of
times about the Nobel prize-who
gave it and for what purpose?
A writer in late issue of the Dear
born Independent gives the informa-
ton.
He says:
More than 20 years ago Alfred
Bernhardt Noble, Swedish inventor,
most widely known for his invention
of dynamite, bequeathed $9,000,O0O, the
income from which was to be annually
distributed in five equal prizes, the
first three of which were to be award
ed for the most important invention
and Improvement in physics, chemistry
and medicine: the fourth, to person
in society, who during the year pre-
ceding the award had rendered the
greatest service to the furtherence of
international brotherhood, and the
fifth, to the person who produced the
most remarkable of ideaIistic charac-
ter in the world of letters. Each
prize amounts to about $4,000. The
first prize were awarded in December.
1901 Four Americans have received
prizes: Theodore Roosevelt, in 1906,
for his work for universal peace; A.
A. Nicholson, of the University of
Chicago, in 1907, in physics: in 1912
Dr. Alexis Carrel, OF the Rockefeller
Institute. in medicine, and in 1912 to
Elihu Root for his efforts for peace
No American has yet won the litera-
ry prize Among those who have won
the literary laurel have been the poets,
Sully- Mistral, Echegaray,
Carducci, Maeterlinck, Hauptman and
Tagore; the novelist, Bjornson. Sien-
kiewicz. Kipling, Heyse, Selma Lager
lof and Anatole France; the historian,
Mommsen. the philosopher. Encken
and Knut Hamsun.

Bank statements, brought out by

ing amount Of millions of dollars on
deposit to private accounts subject
to check in the national banks. 1t looks
like every person who has a dollar
has it locked up in bank and is afraid
TO spend it. Why, one Tampa bank

THE FIRST LYNcHlNG IN GEoR-
GIA

A young congressman from New
York, bearing the honorable name of
Hamilton Fish, made a speech in ia
vor of the anti-lynching bill
For a Republican to vote against
the bill he said would make Abraham
Lincoln turn over in his grave" for
the spirit of the "martyred president
still lives"
He was asked if he knew when the
first lynching occurred, say in Geor-
gia, and by whom it was committed? :?
Answering in the negative Com
gressman Brand of Georgia gave him
the following information
The Georgia congressman said:
The first lynching which ever oc-
Cured in Georgia, so far as I can
gather. was in 1865. A negro man
raped a white woman in Gwinnett
county. He fed for protection to
Lawrenceville, where a company OF
Federal soldiers was stationed. When
learning the facts, they took him into
custody and hanged him in the court
house square. The lynchers were
partly from your own state and other
states north OF the Mason and Dixon
line.

hypocrisy of pretending that he is

and every man who has investigated
it knows, that he is using the political
spoils system"
The Texas congressman says that
he has bushel of letters to prove
his statements.
In replying to a speech made by
Congressman Green of Iowa, Congress
man Wingo says:
sThe gentleman has not investigat-
ed in all the states, or he would know
that ex-Service men have been kicked

IN PRAISE or MISS HEMPgL

We can not refrain from word
in praise of the exquisite criticism
of Miss HempePs visit to Ocala by
sM. NJ. NJ Mrs. Philip Murphy, in
the Ocala Evening S1ar of Monday.
The criticism was in line with the al
most universal sentiment of ali
who had the pleasure of hearing
this gifted woman who possesses such
a wealth of charm both as singer
and eonyersationalist. The praise
given her was in no manner over
drawn
We doubt if Miss Hempel, whose
fame covers two continents. ever re-
ceived more unique and generous
praise.
Mrs. Murphy's criticism can be
c,assed little less than classic.

NEW YORK BLAMED
FOR TUNNEL DELAY
Jersey Report Says Commits.
sion There Has Made
Concessions.

Special Dispatch to TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
TRENTON, Feb. 23.--The annual re-
port of the New Jersey Interstate Bridge
and Tunnel Commission. which has been
sent to the State House here, criticises
the New York Tunnel Commission for
its "unwillngness to or inability to CO.
operate with the New Jersey Commits
SION in pushing work on the vehicular
tunnel under the Hudson River. The
report says:
The progress of the Hudson River
tunnel has not been so rapid due to the
unwillinsness or. inability OF the New
York commission to cooperate with New
Jersey on a basis that recognized the
equal rights ard responsibilities of New
Jersey in the project. and these have
been ended, in a majority OF instances,
by New Jersey concessions in the sole
interest Of progress
The report OF the commission is divid-
ing interest with the tunnel ripper bill,
which made its appearance In the House
here two weeks ago after the time for
Introducing bills had expired. Repub-
lean leaders are uncertain what to do
with the bill. although it was approved
by party conference The plan OF the
bill Is to oust the present eight members
of the New Jersey Commission and APP
point a board Of five. shifting the con-
troll from the Democrats to the Rcpubli-
cans
But complications have arisen which
trouble the leaders. and as compro-
mise it has been suggested that If Il.
Albeus Adams of Montelair Eill retire
as chairman the bill will be with
drawn Mr Adams. it is und erstood,
will not assent TO this unless he is in
formed of the reasons prompting the
suggestion. Other members. including
John G. Boyle of Jersey City, have
said that if Mr.. Adams Is forced out
they also viii! retire.
The City Commission OF New Jersey
has refused to pass certain ordinances
deemed necessary by the New Jersey
commission until something has been
done about the bill, it is pointed out.
Unless the Jersey City Commission
passes the ordinances the Tunnel Com
mission will have to start condemna-
ton proceed ings against the Erie Rail-
road for certain property at the tunnel
approaches. In the meanwhile the out
standing bonds and the ordinary ex-
penses of the commission would pile
up enormous costs for the people of
New Jersey to pay.
