They Found the Negro Register of tbe Treatury in a Restaurant—They Boiled Over With Rage—Remarkable Exhibition of Southern Statesmen. Because of the presence of W. T. Vernon,colored registrar of the treas- ury, in the dining room of the House office building in Washington, five Southern congressmen left the room, threatening to appeal to Speaker Can- non to keep members of the negro race out of the dining room in the future. Representative Stanley,of Kentucky, who made one of the most vigorous pro- tests against the presence of negroes in the dining room, declared that he would move out of the office building if the practice was not stopped, and in- timated that many of his Democratic colleagues from the South would follow him. It appears that Mr. Vernon, accom- panied by a negro friend, dropped into the office building dining room for lun ^heon to-day, while several members of the 4ouse were present. As soon as they saw Mr. Vernon, Representa- tives Gerner and Dies of Texas, Sims of Tennessee and Chandler of Missis- sippi aFe reported to have stopped eat- Governor Sign* Bill Permitting Boards of Supervisors to Establish Them. Albany. May 17.—Gov. Hughes has signed the bill ofAssemblyman G. H.

The boards may appoint a board of managers to have charge of the selec- tion of the site, management and ap- point the necessary employes, the ex- pense to be borne by the county. The governor signed also the bill of Assemblyman Callan, giving the board of managers for the New York State Training School for Girls at Hudson control over discharged inmates until they reach the age of 21, such wardship to terminate, however, in case the girl marries during her minority.

Ithaca, May 17.—\If Greek letter fraternities are to prosper at Cornell University their members must devote more time to their study and do away with their snobbishness and luxurious living,\ said President Schurman in an address before a large number of fra- ternity men. There are at least 900 fraternity men in the university. \If fraternities are to prosper in the university you must find some way of getting more work done; the intellec- tual life must be quickened,\ said President Schurman. \One evil of the men in Murphy's confidence.

Registrar \TKat is Registrar Vernon treasury,\ responded Mr. Coffin. \I don't care who he is ; that does not change his color,\ snapped Stanley. \You can cancel my order,\ Stanley thereupon delivered himself of a tirade in a loud voice about the practice of ad- mitting negroes to the dining room. \I don't care how hard you quote me,\ said Mr. Stanley later. \He has no business in that place. He could not eat in any dining room of any first- class hotel in Washington, and he could not enter the dining room of the House vide into groups. To me nothing seems worse than to'see—on the one hand a- centre of men in comfort and some times palatial houses, while on the other are the greater number of poorer students. \Beware of the development of a class system or caste spirit that gives \of\the\!~rise-^to-rivalry between—fraternities themselves. \Guard against competing to have a larger and more luxurious house than any other on the campus. It is not easy for men to work when their main purpose is to live in fine houses, to have a good time and to give what is left to the professors. , The university does not exist for thdt. The percentage of students forced to leave college each year is larger in fraternities than out- j side. Now and then you hear of a house being not merely desolated but even to wage a bloody battle for New York City. On the eve of the exodus of the social set from its Fifth avenue haunta during the winter whirl, no small sensation has to-day been spread by the attempt to reopen the court proceedings that terminated the romance of Mrs. Burke- Roche and Aurel Batonyi, who has taught'all swelldom to tool a coach and four. The brief^ marital career of this Hungarian whip and the daughter of Frank Work has been eagerly watched by every one of the gilded society crowdto whom they both were well known for years in widely separated spheres. While the vivacious Mrs. Burke-Rqche took a prominent part in the exclusive coaching runs of the so- cially elect, Batonyi was hired to hold the reins and tutor the swells in the arts of the box. In this role the Hun- garian horseman is still more familiar to-day than in the recent part which he has played in high society and in the courts. While every park road and boulevard is filled with society coach- ing parties this week, this case is fur- nishing an endless theme for talk. Now that, a conviction for man- slaughter has at last been obtained in a case as sensational and notorious as that of Captain Hains, the public prose- cutors of New York and its neighboring metropolitan counties are to-day ex- pressing the hope that their work may not always be balked by the hysterics of the yellow press. During the last decade hardly one verdict of guilty has r tyen were injured by a tornado #hicfi\:fr recked Hollis, Kan. Every building in the town was wrecked or damaged. At least two persons were killed and 15 injured by a tornado in the vicinity of Great Bend. Scores of houses were wrecked. BIG APPROPRIATIONS. mine he believes vein has been opened for about 800 feet and appears to be of a rich and even quantity. Samples of the ore taken from the ledge Mr. Allen has discovered were sent by him to New, York, where they were tested by representatives of the Guggenheims, and are said to have assayed as high as $40,000 to $70,000 a ton, a value which experts declare has never before been reached by vein ore. Mr. Allen's reported discovery is the climax of a considerable period, ot speculation and rumors regarding the finding of gold in the mountains. A short time ago John Clark, who hss lived some distance from Lake Placid for many years, was reported to nave found gold bearing ore. Eugene Allen, brother of the deputy sheriff, was then credited with the discovery. Sheriff Allen's own discovery is, however, quite apart from the undertakings of p y the address of welcome was given by Rev. F. B.

After singing, devotional ex- ercises were conducted by Rev. L. G. Simon. F. P. Lansing, of Copenhagen, gave an excellent talk on the men's bible class. Mr. Lansing knows what he is About $500,000 for the State Fair, Ex- periment Station, Alfred School, Etc Nearly $500,000 was appropriated by the Legislature for the promotion of agriculture and the protection of the rural interests, according to a state- ment by State Commissioner of Agri- culture Pearson.

Men are attending Sunday schools as never before: There are now 500,000 men in organized Baraca classes started by M. A. Hudson, of Syracuse. Mr. Day said the men's Bible class could be utilized as business workers in the church. He told an incident which oc- curred in a Syracuse church, where a stranger from England was met after the morning service by a member of the Bible class, who learned of his need of work. The class took an interest in him, and in a day or two found a place for him. This was given simply as an villages in i hunters from these places are preparing i to search the woods for traces of ! precious metal. i That there is gold in the mountains has long been the firm belief of many persons. Five years ago a party of men from the United States Goedetic Survey found unmistakable traces of it in small quantities near the head of Tupper Lake, and about the same time workmen in the employ of George A. Stevens and his brother; John Stevens, of Lake Placid, uncovered a small vein of ore in the southern part of Lake Placid, which assayed he.avily when submitted to test by J.N.

Evening Sestion. The devotional servicesi were led by Rev. F. B. Severance, of Lowville. Rev. W. H. Pullen. of Beaver Falls* gave an address on \Teacher Train- ing,\ prefacing his ren.*rks by the statement that none but Christians should be teachers in the Sundfty school, which he said was a glorious- calling. The teacher needs a knowledge of the nature and needs of his scholars, and must know something of the art of teaching. The teacher-training course of the New York State association was highly comrrended. C. Rea Bro v••, treasurer, presented his report for tie year, and made pome pra~cticcal suggestions along the line of better financial conditions. It was voted that for the fiscal year beginning June, 1909, schools of the county be asked to contribute to the state and county work the sum of three cents per member.

Lauts writes as follows Jin j per end of this the May Century: If half a million American settlers should suddenly pull up roots and mi- grate in a body to some foreign land the event would be heralded as- one of the most epic movements of the cen- tury. -TfeTthat is virtually what has happened, with little notice and less comment, in the last six years. In less than six years 388,000 American farm- ers have palled up stakes in their native states and moved from Wiscon- sin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Arkansas and Oregon,across the invis- ible line of the international boundary to free homesteads! in the Canadian Northwest. Moreover, 100,000 Ameri- promised that men who stooped to plot with the weighers for the easy entry of their goods is an object which every honest merchant in town hopes Mr. Loeb will attain. Beating back a hord of bold rats, the people of one whole section of the up- island are this week threatened with being overrun by this novel city plague. From cellar to cel- lar and wall to wall this rodent army has crept upon the householder^ of Har- lem in the face of brooms, traps, poison, streams of water and brick bats. No one is sure of the origin of this riotous crew of outlaw rats, though it is believed that many of them were evicted from their ancestral seats by the tearing down of a whole block of old structures in the neighborhood. Harlem is crying desparately for its pied piper. Mead. formerly of Birockville, has a verdict of $58,000 from the Long Island Railroad Company for the loss : of her legs in a railway accident at i Flushing, LL I., in 1906.

This is one of the heaviest personal injury judgments Albany, May 17.—An action to test the validity of the barge canal act has been started in the courts for the first time, in summons and complaint filed to- day with Attorney General O'Malley by Morgan & Pallace of Brockport, as attorneys for William Pelo and another, who are trying to secure an injunction 4o prevent the State from taking pro- perty in the town of Ogden, Monroe county, for barge canal purposes. Attorney General O'Malley probably will demur to the complaint and expects to have the matter disposed of quickly. In 1905 former Attorney General Mayer gave an elaborate opinion hold- j ing that there could be no question as I to the constitutionality of the barge 1 canal act. At that time he was asked \ I as attorney general to bring an action \ j to test the validity of the law.

Lexington, Ky., May 17. -Two men who went to-day to Shelby'county from Louisville to inspect the site of the proposed $400,000 Lincoln institute for negroes received a bundle of switches and a hemp rope, together with a warn- ing. There has been much objection from people in that sectioato having the negro school there, although it has been stipulated that students will be kept on their own reservation and that they will have their own railroad sta- tion and post office. Night riders have warned negroes employed at Benson, near Frankfort, to leave in forty-eight hours. Detec- tives are at work on the case. The negroes at Benson have appealed to Adjt.-Gen.

The capital brought in by the investing classes varies-from the $10,000,000 placed hv tho Mngan tanking house in the Canadian Northern Kan way 16 the $200,000 and $300,000 capital placed in actual cash by the land and lumber and fish companies. Average the Ameri- can new-comer's capital at $2,000, and the American invasion of Canada in the lant six years represents in hard cash an investment of a billion dollars. From what J saw in a leisurely four months' tour of Canada—first by canoe, 1,500 miles among the settlers of the frontier beyond the railroad, then by rail twice across the continent—I have no hesita- tion in saying that a billion dollar average is too small by half. —Carrie Nation has burried the hatchet.

Mr. C. S. Stetson, of one of the big grange counties of Maine, gives his views of grange meetings, as follows : In many granges the line between the yo^ng and old is distinctly drawn; it is a good plan to have one meeting a month in which the young members shall fill the chairs and carry on the work of the order. It is just the prac- tice they need to fit them to hold the responsible positions coming to them in the grange later in life, but aside from this, they should not ostensibly have particular attention paid them.\ The lecturer should watch that each programme has something that appeals to the young, but not put forth all her efforts in that direction. The grange is instituted, not for amusement only, but to accomplish great results. Ques- tions of importance are to be discussed, and the point should be to consider them in a way that will lead all to want to know something further about them; to whet the appetite for knowl- edge rather than talk the matter to death in a dull, uninteresting way, as often happens when farm questions are discussed. I like to have plenty of music, readings that tell interesting stories rather than too many\coamics\ and a question for discussion.

Last week we printed 1,000 statements for a man, and, by their aid, collected a small fortune. Two months ago a man bought of us some note paper and envelopes, and now he is married. Another young man stole some of our paper to make cigarettes with—he is dead. A young lady got some of our paper to curl her hair, and now she has a beau. (We have only a few packages of-this kind in stock.) By using our stationery a person can collect old ac- counts, tell fortunes,make rain, change the color of the hair, extract teeth without pain; if you are married keep tabs on your husband and find out if he is really detained from home on busi- ness ; if you are unmarried.find out the name of your future husband or wife, be successful in business, be elected to office.

Scores of farms in various sections of the state have been offered for sale and several of these will'be inspected before the com- mission makes its final decision. The farm is to be used exclusively for women prisoners who have been com- mitted at least three times to the peni- tentiary.

The Bible is not merely historical and cannot be studied as such,but there is a soul in it that cannot be seen, but can be felt, if one is in harmony with it,as music is felt by the musician, and' the beauties of nature by those who are in sympathy with them. Sensuous schools appeal more prorrpt- ly than spiritual, therefore we have a harder problem, and mere mechanical or mental power will not meet the re- quirements. £oul power is needed. It gives a power that moves the teacher. The\trouble with most of us teachers.is that we are out of touch with tl at power, and therefore are not able to move those whom we are seeking. Again we hear the expression,\I did the best I could under the circum- stances,\ where if we really loved the work and those we are teaching we would _ overcome the circumstances. Another source of necessity for success in our work is faith, and this we will have if we have soul power. Moral teaching is like trying to regulate a watch that does not run regularly, by turning the hands. One must get at the inner mechanism of the watch and one must get at the soul of the scholars to regulate them. The teacher must be in sympathy with the boy to reach him. He must so feel the boy, as it were.that he will know when to pull to gather him in. The teacher must also know the different scholars of his class and know how to discriminate between them and treat them according to their individuality. riam were elected as delegates to the state convention at Rochester, June 8-10, F.

Nothing so helps a woman through the long weary days of work as the knowledge that what she does is appre- ciated by those she loves and for whom she toils. Think of this, husbands and fathers, and remember that a kitri word is always in season. If, on some rr.orn- ing, the coffee is a shade too brown to suit your taste, don't scold about it; and, on every other morning when it is delicious, say so. Try this way, and^ you will find your coffee, and every- thing tlBe, to your taste much oftener: and besides, you will give the ones you ought to love best the sweetest COB- i sciousness that they are doing the work well, and giving satisfaction to the one, of all others.they most desire to please —thus inspiring them with renewed energy to strive for the merited reward of kind appreciative words. And so shall an atmosphere of pe*ace and sweet home happiness come to pervade the whole house, bom and nurtured into beautiful, fragrant blossoming by your own kind words and deeds.
