JUDSON LYONS
LOSES HIS I0B
Successor to Register of Treasury
Named by President Roosevelt.
KANSAS NEGRO WINNER
Candidate Indorsed by Booker Wash -
ingion Gets Pium-*Oth:r Heads
Slated for Decapitation.
A Washington special says: Pres¬
ident Roosevelt Saturday announced
the appointment of W. T. Vernon,
principal of the Quindaro Institute
at Quindaro, Kans., to be register ot
the treasury in succession to Judson
\V. Lyons. Charges were preferred
against Vernon, but they were not sus¬
tained by the investigation made by
the direction of the president.
Lyons was at the white house dur¬
ing t¥ie day and learned from the
president himself that there was no
-chance of his reappointment to the
office he holds. The fact that Lyons
is republican national committeeman
from Georgia did net save him. Ver¬
non oi Kansas had the indorsement
of Booker T. Washington.
This turn down of Lyons, coming
coincident with the announcement
that Rucker, colored collector at At¬
lanta, is to lose out, and that Beveaux
at Savannah is' to meet the same fate,
means that no negroes are to hold
important offices in the southern
states, where it is possible to find a
reason for putting white men in their
places.
This is from now on to be Presi¬
dent Roosevelt’s policy. Probably
Crum, at Charleston, will be the only
one left by the time the president
goes out of office, and his lease on life
comes through his having been the
president’s own appointee.
By applying a two-term yard stick
to all colored office holders through¬
out the south, the administration ex¬
pects to rid itself of all those who
were put into high office by President
McKinley through the influence of
Senator Hanna. In addition to Lyons,
Rucker and Beveaux, those to go at
the end of their present terms are:
Robert Smalls, collector of the port
at Beaufort, S. C.; .Joseph \Y. t Lse, col¬
lector of internal revenue for Flor¬
ida; J. E. Bush, receiver of public
moneys at Little Reck; Walter Co¬
hen, receiver of public moneys at
New Orleans, and James Lewis, sur
veyor general for Louisiana, under
the department of the interior.
All were active lieutenants of Mr.
Hanna in his campaign, which re¬
sulted in the nomination of Mr. Mc¬
Kinley in 1896. In that ante-conven¬
tion contest Mr. Hanna gave his prom¬
ise to care for these men, and his
strong hold upon the southern colored
■contingent was due to, his sincerity in
keeping his promises.
The influences which have brought
about this new policy on the part of
President Rooseveit are two: first, the
better understanding of the south and
its people, which President Roosevelt
acquired during his recent trips
through that section; second, the act¬
ive opposition of Booker T. Washing¬
ton to the appointment of southern
negroes to office.
Wasiiington advised President Mc¬
Kinley against such appointments in
le’97, but his advice had no weight
against the influence of Senator Han¬
na. He is, however, much closer to
President Roosevelt than he ever was
to his predecessor in office.
In his educational work Washing¬
ton does not have the sympathy of
the political contingent of his own
race, north or south. These do not
take kindly to his doctrine that the
colored man should give himself over
to material pursuits, eschewing poli¬
tics.
Tn his educational work Washington
does not have the sympathy of the
political contingent of liis own race,
north or south. These do not take
kindly to his doctrine that the col
-ored man should give himself over to
materia! pursuits, eschewing politics.
There is a strong anti-Washington
element among the colored men of
the country, and among these aligned
with that element is Lyons. Appar¬
ently for t.he sole purpose of striking
at these McKinley-Hanna colored of
ficeholders it was announced some
time ago that unless excellent rea¬
sons could be shown no federal of¬
ficeholder would be given a third
term.
This rule has not been applied to
any of the white officeholders, but it
is to be rigidly enforced against those
with dark skins.

In one of the Broadway hotels
much frequented by mercantile trav¬

'at gossip of the trade after dinner.
"What has become of Johnes?” asked
one. “Haven’t you heard about him?*’
replied the man addressed. “Have
you not heard of his rise and down¬
fall? Well, it was this way.
“You ail know Johnes was the best

Ratlifcone offered him a bigger salary
if he would come with them, and he
succumbed. Johnes was foxy and de¬
manded a written contract for five
years, which they gave him. It was
$4,000 a year—and expenses. Well,
the first trip Johnes made he ran up
against hard luck. Everything seem¬
ed to go against him. When he go’
back he was ashamed to show up at
the office. Ke had not made his sal¬
ary, let alone his expenses. But, to
his great surprise and gratification,
his employers greeted him rapturous¬
ly. ‘We know how things go some¬
times, Mr. Johnes,’ they said, ‘but nev¬

with your work.’ And they sent him
on a trip down South.
“That trip was worse than the first.

WEALTH RUE TO LA&IftESS
With the opening up of the section
of the Province of Ontario in the
neighborhood of North Bay, a couple
of hundred miles directly north of the
city of Toronto, all sorts of tales have
drifted down out of that country
about the mineral wealth it contains
and the lucky “strikes” that have been
made by prospectors. One of the
most romantic of these, and one that
has the merit of having real wealth
to show for it, concerns XV. G. Trethe
way, now a resident of Toronto, who
is the possessor of a mine that has
already paid him a small fortune,
which he found simply owing to his
lazy habits.
At the time he made his "strike”
Tretheway was a traveling salesman
for a wholesale shoe house and was
possessed of a certain amount of
knowledge of chemicals and ores of
various kinds. Two years ago his
business route carried him to one of
the new settlements on the Grand
Trunk railway, in the North Bay dis¬
trict, called Cobalt, from the deposits
of that mineral that had been found in
the neighborhood. Tretheway, who
FAMOUS VO]*y EXTRESS RIRERS
The world s record for organized and
“schedule” riding was made by the
Pony express, says C. F. Lumrnis in
McClure’s Magazine. Never before
nor since has mail been carried so
fast, so far and so long merely by
horse power, and if I am not in error,
never elsewhere have horses been so
steadfastly spurred in any regular
service. The Pony express carried
mail between the east and California
(at $5 per half ounce) for about two
years. It ran from Independence to
San Francisco, 1,950 miles. Its time
was ten days and it never needed
eleven. It employed 500 of the fast¬
est horses that could be found, of
couse, all western hbrses, 200 station
keepers and 80 riders. It had ISO sta¬
tions—crowded down the throat of the
wilderness, 65 to 100 miles (or even
more) apart, according as water
chanced. The rider was allowed two
minutes to change horses and mails at
a station.
