THE CENTAUR COMPANY, TT MURRAY STREET^ NEW YORK CITY.
The hopes of every nation hang
upon the incoming generation of its
people. This is always true. Upon
those who are to assume the tasks
from which the outgoing are com
pelled to retire depends the question
whether these shall be retrogressive
or grogressive. Bift this proposition
was never more emphatically true in
any country or in any age than in
the United States at the close of
this Nineteenth Centnry. Those who
are just passing the line that sepa
rates boyhood from manhood have
open before them a broad field of
duty and usefulness—of them much
is expected and demanded. A large
percentage of them have had better
opportunities than were enjoyed by
their predecessors. To them much
has been given—of them much will
be required. They must, if they
arise to the full measure of their du
ty, impart an accelerated speed to
the world’s forward movement.
Within the next fifty years the ad
vance in all tlie elements of civilza-
tion must he greater than has been
made in the last one hundred and
fifty years. But in order that these
expectations shrll be realized, the
boys who are now coming on must
be men in the full sense of that
term. Physically, intellectually, mor
ally, they must aim at an exhibition
of manhood in its highest type.
Fraction parts of men cannot take
up the White Man’s burden and
bear it as it should be borne. As
suming a superiority to all the dark
races, the young man of the incom
ing generation must vindicate that
claim by excelling in wisdom, jus
tice and moderation.
In all this the young men who are
just entering or are just leaving our
higher schools should take a leading
part. But they cannot do all. There
are tasks hardly less important for
those who elect to labor in more se
questered fields. Between those
there should be no envyings and
jealousies. The man with the hoe
and the man with the hammer—the
man who presses the throttle valve
and the-man who casts up bills of
exchange—the man who alleviates
thejoains of the sick and the man
who pleads in behalf of the accused
the man -who expounds the laws
of the land from the bench and the
man who expounds the laws of God
from the pulpit, should each consid
er himself a joint worker with the
other in the common cause of hu
manity. All these offices have to be
filled, and if filled worthily the one
who- does' so deserves the respect of
his fellows, whether he Be high or
low. Those who address young men
who are about selecting vocations
almost invariably bid them aim
high. We would not advise other
wise. But we would have them keep
in mind that the higher the station
the higher the responsibility. He
who demands an elevated rank prom
ises the performance of great duties.
To no men who have played parts
in the world’s history have more
splendid prospects presented them
selves than those which are opening
before the young men of this coun
try and this day. But let them not
suppose that it will be smooth sail
ing with favoring winds. There will
be opposing forces now and then,
and the promise is not to those who
shrink, but to those who overcome.
Our young men, we apprehend, are
more likely to be wanting in pa
tience than in energy. Not a few of
those who are willing to labor are
loth to wait. They are too eager to
see results. It was remarked many
years ago that a fondness for green
fruit was a characteristic of Ameri
can people. This may have a hurt
ful effect on this generation of
whose, prospects and possibilities we
have been speaking. It may feause
many of them to attempt the per
formance of tasks for which they are
not entirely prepared and thus de
lay or wholly hinder the thorough
preparation which would enable
them to accomplish the very best
results. Push may be hurtful if it be
not accompanied by prudence.

Alaska has not her gold alone to
depend upon. A Chicago man of
experience in such matters saj s the
no\v known gold fields form but a
small part of Alaska’s available but
undeveloped wealth. The country,
he says, is rich in coal and oil, while
its rivers contain an inexhaustible
supply of codfish, halibut, herring
and salmon. And the probabilities
are that thelb are still other vast
sources of wealth\\|hich have so far
been overlooked in-the rush for the
gold fields. Alaska is a great terri
tory, abounding in possibilities.

A lively contest is likely to devel
op for the possession of lands below
Macon on the Oomulgee river, where
fifty-three varieties of hard wood
timber grow, and which, up. to a
short time ago, were considered
worthless swamp lands.
Timber experts who have gone
down to these tracts of land have
reported that they are most valua
ble, and the owners are now biding
their time and waiting for the high
est bidders for the privilege of cat
ting' the timber.
Between Macon and Hawkinsville,
along the banks of the Oomulgee
river, a distance that can be covered
by a light draught steamer, such as
the City of Mecon, or Ida, in a day,
there are fifty-three varieties of hard
wood, all of which can be utilized,
and some of them for the most
beautiful and expensive kinds of
furnishings, as they are susceptible
to the highest poHsh, The old sweet
gum, for instance, sawn into twelve-
inch boards and polished, has been
re-christened “satin walnut,” and
exported at $40 per 1;000 feet,
which I presume has been made in
to powder boxes and trays by the
deft hands of the Japanese and re
turned to this country at the rate of
$500 per 1,000 feet for the lumber.
But I just intended to mention
some of the many varieties of wood
in the Ocmulgee swamps and the
uses to which they are most com
monly put. There are several kinds
of oak; the lin, white, post, red, wa
ter and willow, used for shipbuild
ing, fine casks, wagons, agricultural
implements, bridge building, car
trucks, crossties, etc.; while hickory,
scaly barks and pignut, is used for
wheels, spokes, rims,
. shafts and bug
gy poles; beech, for chairs ancKvari-
ety works; sycamore, for furniture
of different kinds; birch, for trucks;
curly maple, for finishing cars, ships
and the finest kind of furniture; elm,
red, white and slippery, for hubs,
staves, hoops, etc.; yellow poplar,
white poplar and cotton wood, for
furniture, staves, barrel headings,
etc.; red and black cypress, for the
various uses made of white pine,
such as shingles, posts, etc.; willow
in abundance for baskets, baby car
riages and numerous other articles;
bay, for finishing; magnolia, for en
graving; iron wood, for mud sills;
mulberry, for posts; black locust, for
hubs; cataulpa, for posts and caskets
that will never decay; red cedar, for
pencils; swamp, spruce and yellow
pine, for boxes"and crates; cucumber,
for fancy articles; black walnut and
cherry, for furniture and office fix
tures; dogwood, for bobbins and
spools; persimmon, for shuttles and
cogs, in quantities sufficient to sup
ply all the cotton mills that will be
erected in the land where the staple
grows in the next decade.
Cutting and marketing this tim
ber has been attempted oh a small
scale, but capital enough to make
sufficient arrangemeuts for getting
it out of the swamp has never been
employed; and. the industry has been
pursued rather listlessly. The syn
dicates that are now attempting to
get possession of the timber oh these
lands are backed with sufficient cap
ital to provide the necessary means
of getting the timber to market.—

Some Very Strong Attrac*
tions Announced.
PROGRAM OF THE RACES
Ten Thousand Dollars In Purses to Bl
Hung Up For Runners—Horse Show
and “Battles of Our Nation” Other
Great Attractions.
The Southern Intor-State Fair, to be
held at Atlanta this fall, Oct. 10 to 27,
has arranged for the presentation ol
some very strong special attractions. A
brief account of some of the principal
features of the Fair in this line, will, na
doubt, he interesting to our readers.
First and foremost among the special
attractions should he placed the racing
program. Ten thousand dollars in purses
will be hung up for running, trotting
( and pacing races. Four days will bs
ted to harm
devoted to harness races and six to run
ning races. 'This will be one of the
most extensive, and, the Management
claims one of the besc, racing meets ever
held in the southeastern states. The
racing will begin Oct. 17, and will con
tinue until the close of the Fair.
Another strong attraction will be the
“Battles of Our Nation. ” This is a very
elaborate, historical and musical spec
tacle. It will be presented every night
during the Fair in front of the grand
stand, on a large - stage especially con
structed for this purpose. There will
be nearly 100 actors and actresses in the
spectacle.
The most interesting development of
modern science is the “War Balloon.”
This tremendous airship, rising high in
the air, mid enabling its operator to
make photographs and drawings-of the
enemy’s stronghold, has fairly revolu
tionized war methods. Nothing has
been so much discussed during the past
few years as the War Balloon. One of
these’marvellous airships will be on ex
hibition at the Southern Inter-State
Fair. It will carry passengers to a
height of 1,000 feet, and, beyond ques
tion, it will he one of the most interest
ing features of the Fair.
For the first time in the history of the
South there is to be a high-class Horse
Show—not the paradiug of a few horses
in front of a grand stand, but a real, up-
to-date Horse Show, such an event, in
deed, as the Horse Show given in Madi
son Square Garden, New York. A
mammoth tan bark arena has been con
structed in the Coliseum. It measures
90x240 feet. The audience will be seated
in private boxes on a tremendous grand
stand. Those who desire may Walk
around the entire arena on the “ parade, ’ ’
or walk-way, 20 feet in width. The
Horse Show is to ba a society event, and
Southern society will assemble to wit
ness the most elaborate exhibition of
splendid horse flesh ever brought to
gether in the South. The show will
continue four nights—October 2«rd,
24th, 25th and 20th. The tremendous
building will he brilliantly lighted and
splendidly decorated. The Horse Show
will be the social event of the year.

The commonly accepted belief that
the population of China is somewhere
in the neighborhood of 400,000,000
people is in danger of being shatter
ed. In a recent article in Harper’s
Weekly, Mr. W. B. Parsons, who
had occasion to explore for engin
eering purposes a considerable por
tion of the Chinese Empire, reaches
the conclusion that the Chinese pop
ulation has been very much exag
gerated, and his careful observation
led him to the belief that the popu
lation of the empire will not go o\er
200.000. 000, if as much. Mr. Par
sons says that every intelligent trav
eler. in whatever part of the empire,
concludes that the population of the
section he has visited is greatly over
estimated. An investigation by a
French commission in 1895 led to
the conclusion that instead of 20,-
000,000 as claimed, the province of
Yunam contained only 7,000,000 or
8.000. 000 inhabitants at the outside,
and that the largest province, that
of Szecbuen, instead of 73,000,000,
contained from 25,000,000 to 35,-
000,000 less. China, no doubt, would
like to have the world continue to
believe that .her population is 400,-
000,000, but in the face of the evi
dence it would appear that her mag
nificent population swearer is about
to be found out.

Falcon Island, in the Pacific, which
was thrown up some years ago and
gradually washed away till in 1898
it could not be seen, has been dis

star feature of this combination is a
Trained Wild Animal Show, where
lions, leopards, tigers and animals of all
kinds perform in a most marvelous man
ner. Mr. Bostock is known among
showmen as |‘The Animal King,” and
he is better equipped, in tne matter of
trained wild- animals, than any other
man on this side of the Atlantic. He is
the principal dealer in wild animals in
this country, and the best and most per
fect of his specimens are selected and
trained as performers. Besides the An
imal Show, there will be the wonderful
moving pictures of the Fitzsimmons-
Ruhlin fight: the wonderful “Mystery
of Oega,” the disappearing lady; the
Oriental Theater, where the famous
Mile. Fatema and MHe. Rosseta will
perform the weird dances of the cast.
Besides these attractions, the Midway
will contain numerous other highly in
teresting features.
Thera will be numerous other special
features and attractions. Among them
two magnificent acts that will take place
in the Horse Show. One of these by the
famous French horseman, Gautier, who,
with his three highly trained horses, ap
peared for 800 successive nights, on a
specially constructed stage, at Koster &
Dial's theatre, New York. There will
also be a broad sword oontest on horse
back between Xavier Orlefsky, cham
pion of the world, and Duncan O. Ross,
or some other competitor of equal re
nown.
The Management of the Fair seems
determined to make the special attrac
tions strong in every way, and all who
visit the Fair may depend upon finding
an abundance of wholesome entertain
ment.
’ Blackening One’s Slices.
There are men in New York today
whose fortunes are not small, yet they
never pay a bootblack a cent a year for
shining their shoes. They are their
own bootblacks, and not one Is asham
ed of it You may-depend on one thing
—these men were reared in the coun
try, where they were educated in the
nse of the brush. I said to an acquaint
ance some time ago, when he com
plained that his 12-year-old son had ho
exercise about the house, “Why don’t
you make him blacken the family
shoes every morning?’
He was stunned at the suggestion.
“My son blacken boots!” he wailed,
throwing up his hands. "Do you think
I would disgrace my own boy? I give
him 10 cents every morning to have
his shoes shined at the comer where I
have mine shined.”
I reminded him that he wa,s teaching
that boy to' be an upstart and that ha
was giving him $36.50 a year which he
stole from his friends. Blackening
shoes is splendid exercise. Many a
ragged street Arab is too proud to do
it because of some fool father like the
one mentioned, but such a father
ought to be in the business instead of
robbing his friends. Let every boy
learn to shine shoes. He may have to
make a living at it some day. There
is money in the business.—New York
