HE’LL MAKE A NEGRO’S BED. The Rev. Dr. Hillis Comes to Booker Washington's Rescue. New York, May 22.—In an address before the State Congregational as- sociation’s convention, which came to a close to-day, Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis said: “For some strange rea- son just now the tide is running like Smilletream, dark and deep, against all foreign race’, and especially against the black race. No one can explain the psychology of the mob, save that ite leader is always the lowest man in the mob, or else a strong man who once was good, but is now living in his lowest mood. In Russia the people with wealth, prop- erty and liberty have risen up and murdered the Jews. If it besaid that the Jewish fathers have acquired, by trading. more than their share of money, I answer, ‘But why dash out the brains of their little children? Why knock the women down and trample them to death in theatreeta?’ GIVERS, OF “WORST ELEMENT.” “Tt ia the aame apirit of contempt for those of different color and blood from ourselves that led to this ecene in New York last night. Tt hae been said here that at a public dinner in New York, when reference was made last evening to a chambermaid in a hotel who refused to make up a bed { for Booker Washington that first a thousand dollars and then twenty- five hundred dollars had been sent to this maid as a reward for insulting a great educator and a noble citizen, whom God had given a black skin. “Ido not know what manner of men and women composed that com- pany, but I affirm that they repre- sented the worst element in Ameri- can life, and that in applauding an ineult to Mr. Washington they be- trayed their fathers, played false to their own inetitntions and put them- selves in that class of whom it was HOGS GET FINE FEED. Chicago Man Buys Food at Auditor ium and Ships te His Swine Herd in Central Illinois, From the Chicago Auditorium hotel luncheons and banquets there is a great waste of bread, amounting to 20 barrele every two or three days. The waste bread supply has been bought and is being fed to 700 pigs on Warren Springer'’s farm down in central Illinois, Some time ago Mr. Springer’s farm- er told him that the pigs were grunt- ing a great deal over the inferior qual- ity of their food. Mr. Springer de- cided a change of menu was needed— something more palatable for the dis- gruntied 700. While he was reading the breakfast food advertisements he saw the statement that the Auditorium had waste bread for sale by the barrel. “Just the thing,” declared Mr. Springer, and he hurried to the hotel. To the clerk he said confidentially: “I want those 20 barrels of bread.” The clerk knew nothing of the adver- tisement and regarded Mr> Springer with wonder, Fortunately, the man- ager appeared and took Mr, Springer to the kitchen, where the deal was soon completed, “There is a luncheon party on now,” said the manager, “and I can make up another barrel out of what is left.” Mr. Springer told hjm to send it along. That evening Mrs, Springer told her husband of a luncheon she had given, “Where?” he demanded. “Why, at the Auditorium,” said his wife. “Well,” said Mr. Springer, with a laugh. “I hope there was some left over I bought it for my pigs.” The pigs are thriving on the rich diet which Mr, Springer declares a great success, UNIQUE PAPER SUSPENDS. Gypsum (Kan,) Chronicle, Printed with a Lead Pencil by a Boy, Is Abandoned, The Gypsum (Kan.) Chronicle, one of the most unique papers ever pub- lished, has suspended publication at (Gypsum City, Saline county. ‘The Chronicle was first issued August 16, 1900, ‘The pauper was four pag 7xll, entirely printed by hand wit a lead pencil by Allen L. Swisher, a 12-year-old boy. Several copies were issued weekly, and as the lad had no means of making duplicate copies of one of My little ones; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were cast into the depths of the sea.’ MAKE THE BED HIMSELF, “All those who are talking with such contempt about the ‘nizger’ and counting him the begar that lies at the gate, may waken out of their ignorance some time to find that what Jesus Christ said about the chasm immeasurable that was dig- ged between the character of Dives and poor Lazarus, may have some personal application. And more meaning than they had supposed, when on Monday last I read that article by a New York minister on the ‘nigger’ in which he said the ‘nig- ger’ was growing blacker and blacker and lower and lower and more and more hopeless. I mourned for the church and was ashamed of a man who had forgotten his obligation to Christ’s pror and weak. “T have asked Mr. Washington to speak in my church soon and if he does not wish to goto a hotel orcan- not find one and will accept enter- tainment from me, and any one in my house shirks from making up a bed for the colored educator, I will gladly make it up myself and count “it an honor to do so.” For Those Who Live on Farms.

CSCABTORIA. Ccthfllttes Be ‘ the first paper, each one.had to be as near alike the first as possible, For over two years the lad edited and published his little newspaper every week, All the reading matter was printed, and on several oceasions there was colored cartoons on the first page. At the time of the elec tion of J. R. Burton to the Unified States senate the paper appeared with a full page picture of the senator, drawn with, colored pencils The total number of copies of the Chronicle printed js about 1,100, or an average of nine a week, for 123 weeks, The paper was on W. J. Bryan's Commoner exchange from the time the latter paper was founded. Recently the subscription price of the paper was increased from $1 to $10 a year, which brought down the subscription to a point which made it “unprofitable” to the publisher, consequently it has been discon. tinued. BAGS THREE BEARS. President Roosevelt Is More Saccess- ful on Christmas Day Than When Looking for Bruin in Mississippi. President Roosevelt had great sue- cess.in hunting bear at the white house Christmas morning. He start- ed on the trail for the library, where the Christmas presents were assem- bled, and there he found three min- jature bears waiting for him. They were of different varieties of the bruin tribe in the jungle of Christ- mas remembrances. One came from the sunny south, one from the north- west and one from New York--a black, a brown and a grizzly. All were addressed to the president, and he enjoyed the humor of the presen- tations. These toys in size and ap- pearance were excellent imitations of the living animals. The one from the northwest was a mechanical or dancing bear, and his performances created much merriment among the members of the household. The pres- ident displayed his dancing bear to friends who called at the white house. FIELD DAY FOR SOLDIERS. Ia to Become a Monthly Affair i the Army Discipline of the United States. “Field day” is to be an established institution at all army pests in the department of the lakes. Some time ago a monthly “field day” was inau- gurated at Fort Sheridan, and the re- sults have been so satisfactory that the war department is satisfied that its policy of encouraging athletic sports in the army is a wise one. The other day Maj. Gen. Bates, command- ing the department of the lakes, is- sued an order directing that one day in each. month, to be known as “field day,” be devoted to athletic games and exercises by the enlisted men at each post in his department. The programme will include all kinds of athletic sports; also the construction of hasty ititrenchments, patrolling, construction of emergency bridges, and, at the discretion of the officers in charge, boxing and wrest- ling. Whenever practical the sports will be accompanied with music, and every effort will be made to “give the day the air of a holiday devoted wholesome recreation.” list | Auditorium hotel, which was owned to jin place To guard against imitation the word Budweiser is branded on the corks of all bottles of original Budweiser.

By the terms of the instrument, which was written in 1896, over half of the estate will ultimately go to the Baptist Orphan home. It is pre ceded by quotations from Shakes- peare and Byron, expressing the teatator’s cynical philosophy.

Accompanying the will was a letter of instructions for the cremation of Norton. A special Pullman is to take the remains to Cincinnati with & few invited friends. The train isto be stocked with food and drink, and a ragtime band concert is to be giv- en. The provisions of the will are to be carried out, . The estate is valued } at about $2,000,000.

Morgan is For Gorman, Washington, May 21.—In an in- terview with Senator Morgan of Ala- bama, the question of a possiblecan- didate for president from the ranks of the Democratic party was discuss- ed. Senator Morgan expressed the opinion that Senator Arthur Pue Gorman is the Democrat who in the broadest sense represents the origi- nal doctrines of his party, The speaker stated that both the Bryan and Cleveland factions will have to make concessions if they wish to have a reunited Democracy and he ex- pressed the belief that the issues of both will in time work themselves out satisfactorily. Man’s Death a Mystery. Guthrie, 0. T., May 21.—Elements of mystery are linked with the dead body of a man found near Owl, I. T., by R. T. Breedlove, a cattleman.

Jeans, one of the great-/ Salytation Wifh Which Russian est mathematicians that Cambridge university has produced in recent years, contributed a paper at the last meeting of the Royal soci- ety, in which he made novel sug- gestions in regard to the figure of the earth. He said there was probably a time when the rigidity of the planet was so small that the configuration was pear-shaped. The transition from ea pear-shaped jelly to a steel-like spher- oid had taken place through a series of ruptures. Nevertheless traces of the pear-shaped configuration were Still discernible. England, he said, is the center of a hemisphere which is practically all land. This hemisphere represents the blunt end ofa pear. It is along the boundary of this hemi- sphere that earthquake attempts at the readjustment of form are and were most frequent. “Tracing a circle about the globe,” he said, “at a greater distance from England as the center, we piss over a region of the very deep seas of the Pa- cific, southern Atlantic and Indian oceans, Along this virele there is a waist of pear. Finajly, at the antip- odes of England, Australia is the re- mains of the pear stalk.” If one accepts these views the exist- ence of a large tract of land about the south pole becomes more doubtful than ever, SEES DANGER IN FAST AUTO.

ANOTHER MASSACRE EXPECTEB. Berlin, May 21.—The singular state of mind of the people of the Kishineff Bessarabia, while they were killing the Jews there is described in a letter from a non-Jewish German of Odes- sa, received by the relief committee here. He writes: “The leaders of the bands on enter- ing Jewish dwellings often addressed the occupants good naturedly, say- ing: ‘Poor brethren, we must kill you. It is so ordered.’ Monstrous things were not done until robbers began to participate, and when they, with the Christ zeal- ots, became intoxicated.” The state of terror of the Jews at Kishineff, the letter adds, continues. A fresh massacre is expected there and the Jews of Odessa and of all the large towns of Bessarabia are living in hourly dread ofdeath. The whole Province seems to be in a state of fanatical fury against the Jews, The writer of the letter says: ‘The excitement is intensitled through proclamations distributed in the streets and the tone of the bitterly anti-Semitic newspapers, The Rue sians say to their educated and tol- erant countrymen who urge keeping the peace: ‘It's the czar’s will that the Jews everywhere be robbed, Or. ders have been given that we start again at Pentecost. * The situation has become all the worse since the important Russian papers have been prevented by the censorship from freely expressing their opinions,. Their behavior, al ~ most wit rout exception, Nas been — excellent. Unless the government adopts a more energetic policy, the events at Kishineff will undoubtedly be repeated in other towns, As indi- cating the complete disapproval of the best classes, respectable Rus- sian lawyers are assisting the suffer ers to obtain redress.
