allegiance to some country before lie
can become a citizen of the United

therefore he cannot be made a citizen

Industrial and miscellaneous corpora
tions chartered under the laws of New
Jersey, that is to say the Jersey-made
trusts, paid into the treasury of that
state during the year Just ended 82,-
885,187. The increase in the number of
corporations assessed for the year waa
1.5 over the previous year, and the
increase in the amount of taxes as

The Patent Office hus made a ruling
to the effect that it is against the pub
lic policy of that office to lend its sanc
tion to the use of the President’s name
by granting registration therefor as a
trade mark without his express con
sent. The effect of this will be to put
a stop to the using of Col. Roosevelt's
name In advertising certain proprietary
articles. In the case on which the Pat
ent Office made the ruling, application
had been made for the registration of
the name, ’’Roosevelt Rose,” as a trade
mark. The decision holds that "it is
well settled that a living celebrity is
entitled to protection from the use of
his name for the purposes of trade by
others, and this is especially true in
the case of the President of the United
States.”
During the holidays the weather bu
reau officials in Washington have been
considerably annoyed by requests for
forecasts of the weather for several
days in advance. In some instances,
indeed, the bureau has been asked to
say what the weather will be for as
much as a month ahead. Prof. Moore,
the head of the service, in an effort to
check the annoyance, has issued a
statement in which he declares it is
absolutely impossible to make scien
tific forecasts for a longer time than
two days ahead. There are certain
’’weather prophets” who affect to fore
tell weather conditions for a month at
a time, or even a season; buy the gov
ernment service cannot, and will not
attempt to, do any such thing. With
It forty-eight hours Is the limit of pre
diction and thirty-six hours Is the limit
of guarantee.
CLAY AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
In an Interview with a representative
of the Morning New* in Atlanta on
Monday Senator Clay was quoted as
saying that “thoughtful men realize
that the country is threatened with
danger in maintaining the Monroe doc
trine." Further along in the Interview
he said that he feared that trouble,
and serious trouble, would arise be
tween the United States and European
Powers with regard to the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine. And there
seems to be a great many thoughtful
men who hold that serious danger
would menace the country if the Mon
loe doctrine were abandoned. So it
seems the doctrine is a source of dan
ger whether maintained or abandoned.
Some days ago Henry Watterson, edi
tor of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
in an article undertook to show that
the conditions which begat the Monroe
doctrine no longer exist, and that a
new set of conditions confront the
country. An Inference from what he
said was this; Wouldn't it be advisa
ble to abandon flic doctrine altogether,
and if not. ought not there to be anew
declaration to meet the new condi
tions ?
We do not. of course, undertake to
say whether or not Senator Clay is, in
u measure, in sympathy with the
views expressed by Mr. Watterson, but;
Judging from the tone of the criticisms
on Mr. Watterson’s utterance, there is
not much sentiment anywhere in this
country in favor of abandoning the
doctrine. Asa matter of fact, however,
the idea of abandoning it is such anew
one that the people have not had time
to give it much thought. It would take
a long while, however, to change public
sentiment in regard to it. The Ameri
can people have heard It discussed and
approved so often they have come to
have a regard for it something like
that which they have for the Declara
tion of Independence.
From something that appeared in the
dispatches from Berlin recently it is
apparent that Germany has no great
regard for it, and would be glad to see
it abandoned. Great Britain, however,
is inclined to favor it, and that Inclina
tion will likely remain as long as (Can
ada is one of her possessions. Ger
many and perhaps some of the other
nations of Europe would like nothing
better than to be free to grab territory
in Central and South America. They
would plant colonies there apd turn
their surplus populations into them.
•i • oy would thus get the benefit of the
overflow of their respective peoples.
The United States get this benefit now.
If the United States have all the Im
migrants from Europe they want they
could easily reduce the number by
abandoning the Monroe doctrine.
A VALI'ABIiK DISCOVERY,
#
A day or two ago we called attention
to the discovery that lemon juice would
kill germs of typhoid fever. The dis
covery was made by Dr. Asa Furgeson
of London, and was announced by him
on Christmas Day. It will be a great
boon to the world, and especially to
those cities in which typhoid fever” Is
present pretty nearly all the time, and
in which there are frequent epidemics
of the disease. There is an epidemic
of typhoid fever now in Chicago and
a great deal of it in Philadelphia and
New York. As soon as the Board of
Health of Chicago heard of the dis
covery it began making experiments.
It had been known for a long time that
certain acids would kill the bacilli of
the fever, but they are dangerous to
human life. In the search for acids the
add of lemon was entirely overlooked.
The discovery by Dr. Furgeson was
purely accidental. He happened to drop
a ilttle lemon juice into a culture tube
containing the germs of typhoid. He
was amazed at the result. The germs
died almost immediately. Not wholly
satisfied, Dr. Furgeson at once made
extended experiments, and when he
became satisfied that he was not mis
taken he made the announcement of
his diseoverv.
Last Thursday the laboratory ex
perts of the Chicago Board of Health
began their experiments with lemon
juice, and by Saturday they were con
vinced that the acid of lemon would do
all that Dr. Furgeson claimed for it.
The instruction to the people of that
city by its Board of Health is to put
a drop or two of lemon juice in a glass
of water before drinking the water,
but the Chicago doc tors generally tell
their patients to put in more than
that, as no harm can come from the
use of lemon juice. In the course of a
week or two the Board of Health
will be in a position to say to the pub
lic just how much lemon Juice is nec
essary to u glass of water to kill all
the typhoid germs in it.
As there seems to be no doubt that
the drinking water is the cause pf ty
phoid fever In Chicago It is believed
there that there will be an almost im
mediate falling off In the number of
typhoid fever cases in that city. Not
withstanding the efforts Chicago has
made to secure pure drinking water
it is well known that the water Is
contaminated with the sewage of the
city. The drainage is Into the lake
and the water supply is drawn from
that source.
There Is no state more radically op
posed to trusts than Texas; that is, to
judge from the anti-trust laws that
have been enacted by the Legislature
of the Lone Star State. Nevertheless
it is stated as a fact that the Standard
Oil Company has acquired practically
all of the Beaumont oil territory and
the law seems powerless to prevent the
absorption. Whether there is truth in
the statement cannot be said, but there
is a strong belief in the oil fields that
ex-Gov. Hogg, a formerly famous trust
hunter, has been prominent in negotia
tions giving the Standard Oil a monop
oly of the Beaumont field, for w hich
service he has been handsomely com
pensated.
The proverbial right of a woman to
change her mind is denied by Justice
Mac Lean of the Supreme Court of New
York, if the woman toe a lawyer. “It
may be a lay woman’s prerogative to
change her mind."- said the Judge,
“but as a lawyer she may not change
a line or a letter of moment In pa
per purporting to be a copy of a veri
fied complaint.” ,
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JANUARY 2. 1003.
THE DOMINANT ANGLO-SAXON.
At the sixth annual meeting of the
American Negro Academy in Wash
ington a day or two ago Rev. Thomas
G. Harper of London said in the course
of an address that the Anglo-Saxon
race has conquered every other race
it has come In contact with, and that
the secret of the negroes’ survival was
to be found in the fact that they con
tented themselves with getting along
peaceably with the dominant race. This
view will be appreciated in the South.
While individuals of the negro race
have committed and are still commit
ting terrible crimes, the great mass of
these people are peaceable, law-abiding
and contented citizens. There are some
negroes more Impudent and presump
tuous than any white man would be
under similar conditions, but they are
the exceptions to the general rule of
docility which is characteristic of the
race as a whole.
The negro has never shown himself
to be a self-governing race. He h*s
had opportunities beyond that of about
any other race, and in every instance
the effort has resulted in lamentable
and ludicrous failure. As the helper of
the white man the black man Is at his
best: and it is because he is the helper
of the white man in the Southern
states that he has advanced to the con
dition of civilization which he now en
joys. Working with the white man, the
negro steadily advances; left to him
self he retrogrades. That this latter as
sertion is true can be seen in a small
number of isolated communities in the
South and on the sea islands where,
since the abolition of slavery, the
blacks have been left alone, to their
own devices. In some of these few
communities the roads have become
by-paths, the houses are nothing irfore
than shacks, the language is a patois
of English and “gulluh,” and the re
ligion is strongly impregnated with the
superstitions that originated in the
Africaji forests. It is only occasional
communication with white men that
keeps the people of these communities
from dropping back into savagery.
The Anglo-Saxon, the speaker at the
Washington meeting might have add
ed, is not only the dominant race, but
Is a forbeuring race. The Anglo-Saxon
is considerate as long as kindness is a
virttle; he prefers the church and the
school house to other methods of up
lifting. But when he finds that the
peace must be broken to protect his
civilization, he does not fear or hesi
tate to take up arms, and then he is an
enemy to be feared and respected.
“I,A VEADETTACCIA!”
Anew theme for a comic opera! And
Mascagni himself ought to write it, if
he has any sense of the ridiculous. If
he hasn’t, then Herry B. Smith or
some other of our native talent ought
to take it up and work it out. It Is
really too good to be lost. The plot
would turn on the Italian version of
Mascagni's visit to the United States
as it is appearing from day to day in
the newspapers of that country. It is
a ‘narrative of dark scheming and ter
rible revenge.’ The Rome correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger had the
information from a prominent gentle
man of the Italian capital, who, like
a great many of his fellow countrymen,
feels Mascagni's tribulations to be al
most his own.
This Roman gentleman explained
that the treatment Mascagni has met
In the United States “is simply a mat
ter of remorseless revenge.” “It is la
vendettaccia!” he exclaimed with
warmth and many shakings of the
right forefinger. Revenge for what?
The gentleman had no objection to ex
plaining, and the substance of the ex
planation was this:
When Admiral Dewey won the great
victory in Manila Bay, a New York
paper cabled Mascagni an invitation to
write a hymn in Dewey’s honor. He
set to work on the task; but before he
had finished it he received a "com
mand” from the King of Spain to be
present at his coronation. He couldn’t,
of course, refuse to respond to the
‘‘command” of the King of Spain, so
he laid down the Dewey hymn and re
paired to Madrid, where he conducted a
musical fete. In Madrid some of the
grandees heard that he was writing a
hymn to Dewey and threatened him
personal violence. However, as he was
under the protection of the King he
was handsomely treated, and no vio
lence was offered him. Then he re
turned home to Italy and once more
took up the Dewey hymn. And then
■ his conscience smote him. How could
he turn at once to the musical glori
fication of the conquerer of his late
hosts? He hadn’t the heart to do it
right- away, so he put the manuscript
down again.
Meanwhile the New York newspaper,
reflecting the public sentiment of the
United States, was getting impatient
and cross. The New York newspaper
and the American people felt that they
had been outraged in that Mascagni
should have visited the court of Spain
after having accepted a commission to
write a hymn to Admiral Dewey. Fol
lowing came the plan for Mascagni’s
American tour. It looked very attrac
tive. The Roman gentleman who is re
sponsible for the publicity of the story
says it was a part of the plot, tl.e con
spiracy, to get Mascagni into the
United States "so that the Yankees
might put him in prison." He fell a
victim to It. He came, and immediate
ly his troubles began. “Now.” says
the Roman gentleman, "he has been
arrested twice; once because he did not
finish the hymn to Dewey, and once
because he accepted the invitation of
King Alfonsol"
And there you are! The whole thing
is as clear as mud, and as funny as a
monkey on a stick. It probably
wouldn’t be worth while to tell the Ital
ians that the American people are
deeply sympathetic with Mascagni; they
would be apt to regard it as a part of
the deception. Meanwhile it is to be
hoped they will not declare war against
us.
The raising of 820,000,000 for a Twen
tieth Century Thanks Offering by the
Methodist church in the short space of
four years is a striking illustration of
the power of this great church organ
ization. Methodism is comparatively
young, as ages of religious denomina
tions go, but it has become one of the
religious powers of the world.
The queer ease of a prominent law
yer being unable to determine whether
or not he Is marristf is reported from
Oswego, N. Y. The- lawyer is named
Uobinson, he is worth $1,000,000. and
is seventy-four years old. He has in
stituted suit in the Superior Court ia
order to determine whether Louise
Simmons is his wife. He wishes the
judgment of the court so that upon
his death there may be no clouding of
titles to his property. It appears that
thirty-six years ago Louise Simmons
entered into the relations of common
law wife with Robinson, and seventeen
years ago a daughter was born to
thtm. For a number of years the wom
an has been known as “Mrs. Robin
son,” and she claims to have a number
of letters in which Robinson recognized
her as his wife.
It is recalled in political circles in
Washington that prior to the election
last November Representative Rich
ardson of Tennessee said he would not
again be a candidate for the speaKer
ship unless the Democrats carried the
House. It is believed he is of the opin
ion still and will not be a candidate at
the reorganization of the next Con
gress. Th>- Democratic nomination for
speaker will be an empty honor, of
course, but it will carry with it the
floor leadership of the party. In the
event of Mr. Richardson declining the
leadership it is the choice
would be between Williams of Missis
sippi. Clark of Missouri, Underwood of
Alabama and De Armond of Missouri.
The chances at present are said to be
ir. favor of Williams.
British trade during the year just
ended is said to have been quite sat
isfactory. The boom that was expect
ed to follow the conclusion of a peace
in South Africa did not materialize,
nevertheless all lines of commerce and,
manufacturing are said to have enjoy
ed a fair degree of prosperity.
PERSONAL.
—Years ago Mr. Chamberlain, the
British colonial secretary, while a guest
at the legation in Washington, attended
a ball. An American girl with whom
he danced summed him up in this way:
"He’s nice enough, but he doesn't know
how to waltz. He takes such funny
little, short steps that one would think
he must have practiced on a postage
stamp.” It was during this visit that
he met Miss Endieott, w-ho afterward
became his wife. Mr. Chamberlain said
on his return to England that he had
made a treaty "with w-hich the august
Senate of the United States had noth
ing to do.”
—When the new furniture was
bought for the cabinet room the Pres
ident told the cabinet members they
could have their old chairs for $5 apiece
if they wanted them. Government
property cannot be given away, and
the President fixed the nominal price
on the handsome mahogany chairs,
thinking that for sentimental reasons
the cabinet memtaers would like to get
the chairs as, SQUvenirs of their ser
vice. All the members of the cabinet
responded with alacrity and sent their
$5 checks, except Secretary Root. Not
being sentimental,* Secretary Root said
he really was much obliged, but didn’L
think he would invest in any second
hand furniture.
—While down ip Oklahoma not long
ago Senator Beveridge of Indiana met
Delegate McGuire, of that territory,
whorp he complimented on his fine
physique. “Oh, yes, hard work made
me a strong man,” said McGuire. The
Indiana man replied with a touch of
scorn; ”If you had toiled in a saw
mill, as I had to do, you would have a
right to talk of hard work.” “You nev
er earned your bread as a section hand
and pumped a handcar, did you? No,
nor you never did any steamhoating.
More than that, you have not punched
cattle for four or five years, and, sen
ator, when you have had a whack at
these occupations you will regard work
in a saw mill as a box at the opera.”

CI RHEYT COMMENT.
The Albany (N. Yj Argus (Dem.)
thus quotes and comments: “The St.
Paul Pioneer Press compares the pres
ent flood of anti-trtlst bills to the anti
anarchy bills which were introduced
after President McKinley’s assassina
tion. but came to nothing. ‘With all
these physicians ready to prescribe,’ it
says, ‘it is doubtful whether Congress
Will accomplish much more than it did
in the case of the anti-anarchy furor.’
There was at least sincerity in the cru
sade against the anarchists, but as for
the trusts —well, everybody knows how
hostile a Republican Congress is likely
to be, against the trusts!”
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: “Germans, of course, do not see
anything incongruous in Gen. Von Bo
guslawski's' posing as an authority on
international law, and they will ad
mire him greatly for his attack upon
the .Monroe Doctrine. Americans, how
ever. know very well that th% Mon
roe Doctrine is not in the bogus-law
line. They do not claim that it is a
principle of international law. They
simply assert that it is a fundamental
principle of the foreign policy of the
United- States which the United States
will exert every resource to maintain.
The nations of Europe understand the
situation thoroughly."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: "The more or less warlike Sena
tor-elect Alger is also alarmed over the
evidences of German aggressiveness,
and he, too, is in favor of covering
all the seas with American ironclads
in anticipation of danger in the more
or less remote future. It is quite true
that this country in its growth from
feeble colonies to one of the greatest
nations has had its unpleasantness
with England. France and Spain, but
never with Germany. But the consid
eration neither of the greatness of this
country nor of the pacific character of
the Germans appears to diminish the
apprehensions of the Jingoes, who long
for nothing but big naval appropria
tions. Is it for this that Michtgin
sends her dubious hero and statesman
to the United States Senate?”
Ills Hair Is a Barometer.
“Feels a good deal like snow,” re
marked a traveling gentleman at the
Albany Hotel to Gabriel Rule of Ban
gor, Mb., a tall, slender man, w-ho
comes West once a year to look after
some mining properties in Utah, says
the Denver Times.
"It is going to snow,” returned Mr.
Rule with confidence.
“Yes, that’s what the weather man
says,” said the t. g.
"I haven’t seen any of the weather
man’s predictions,” remarked Mr. Rule,
"nor have I once looked at the sky or
consulted a barometer, yet I’m certain
we will have snow to-night. In fact,
I know it.”
"Know it?”
‘Yes, know it—look at my hair.”
The traveling gentleman did as he
was bidden. He saw a rather heavy
brown growth that came down over
Mr. Rule's ears in a queer little wave.
Yet there didn't seem to Be anything
remarkable in this sight.
"I don’t see anything about your
hair that's different from any other
hair, except, may be, it’s a little lon
ger than some.”
Mr. Rule laughed gently. "That's
because you haven't had a chance to
observe it,” said he. "You notice, how
ever, that the ends are beginning to
turn up just over my ears, don’t you?”
Yes, the oth> t .nan had noticed that.
"Well, an hour ago they were as
straight as strings. In a little while
they will be still more curly. They
are curling now, very gently, even im
perceptibly to you, though I could tell
it in the dark. I can feel them curl
ing.”
"Feel them?”
"Yes,- my hair is very sensitive;
there never was a barometer that
could equal my hair for noting coming
changes in the weather.”
"But how do you know it isn’t going
to rain?”
"I can tell from the way my hair
moves. When there’s rain coming my
hair curls more rapidly and with
greater tension. When there is a
heavy rain coming it kinks up tightly.
This snow that’s coming to-night is
going to be a light, dry one; I know
that from the way it pops.”
"What, the. snow ?”
‘‘No, my hair; lean this way and lis
ten closely.”
The gentleman of travel did so, and
heard a faint sound like the snapping
of tiny twigs.
“You can hardly hear it," continued
Mr. Rule, “but to me it is quite loud —
whack! whack! whack! like that. It’s
the electricity in it, I suppose. Any
way, I have found that indicates dry
cold weather. But the curling tendency
of my hair also means some moisture;
so I have for my equation cold air and
dry air, gradually becoming damper,
which equals light snow.”
“And in rainy weather does it stay
all crimped up?”
“You bet it does; that is, until it
begins to break away. I can always
tell, five or six hours beforehand, when
the clear weather is coming.”
“I should think you'd find this pe
culiar feature very serviceable to you.”
"Oh, I don’t know,” said Mr. Rule,
smiling, as he ran his fingers through
his intelligent locks, thereby increas
ing the snappings of the hairs till
they sounded like diminutive fire crack
ers. "Other people pay more attention
to it than I do. Back home my friends
toep tab on the weather by it, and the
way I’m generally saluted is; ‘Gabe,
how's your hair?’
"Or it is: ‘Gabe, take-off your hat
and give us a weather bulletin.' And
they joke about it a good deal, but,
all the same, they depend on it, and
I’ll say this much, that it never gave
a false alarm yet.”
And Mr. Rule adjusted his hat care
fully on his prophetic thatch.
Freed for Mess of Oysters.
M. Schalouchine, father of the well
known Russian bankers, was formerly
a serf of Count Schmeremetieff, says
the Toronto Globe. He had become im
mensely wealthy through trafficking in
grain and sheep, yet he could not ob
tain his freedom, though he offered to
pay the Count 8250,000 for it.
One day he went to St. Petersburg on
business, and took with him a small
barrel of oysters as a present for his
master. When he arrived at the hotel
he found the Count in very bad humor,
because he had ordered oysters for his
breakfast and a servant had just in
formed him that there were none in
the market.
"Oh, It's you,” cried the Count, when
he saw his serf, who was also a mil
lionaire; “and I suppose you've, come
for your freedom. Well, it’s no use;
for I’ve got all the money I want, and
so you cannot buy it at any price. I'll
make this bargain, however, with you;
get me some oysters for my break
fast and I’ll set you free.”
“Gentlemen, you have heard the
Count’s words,” said M. Schalouchine,
turning to a few guests who had been
invited to breakfast, “and, conse
quently, you can act as witnesses. If
necessary.”
Then, thanking his master, he step
ped into the ante-room and returned
a minute later with a barrel of oysters.
The Count kept his word, and in the
presence of his guests, signed the pa
per setting his serf free; after which
he turned to him and said, courteous
ly; “My dear sir, I have just con
ferred a favor on you, and I now re
quest you to return the compliment by
breakfasting with my friends and me.”
He Made Carnegie Talk.
Andrew Carnegie’s return makes
timely this story of a reporter who
was assigned to see Mr. Carnegie on
an important public question, says the
New York Times. Repeatedly refused
admittance to the house, he finally
sought out a senator, who was a per
sonal friend of Mr. Carnegie to help
him out. In the course of conversa
tion the senator handed him his card.
Immediately the reporter was struck
with a bright idea, and wishing his
genial acquaintance goodby repaired
once more to the Carnegie mansion
and presented both his own card and
that of the senator's. The great doors
swung open, and a gracious reception
was accorded the newspaper man by
the master of the home.
“Young man.” said Mr. Carnegie,
“do you know that sixteen reporters
have called to see me to-day about this
very question, and that I have refused
to see any one of them?”
“1 surely ought to know that, Mr.
Carnegie, for I was the whole sixteen,”
responded the scribe.
Mr. Carnegie was so pleased with
the young man's persistance that he
violated his rule and gave his views
at lenght on the subject regarding
which he bad previously refused to
talk with anybody.

Chief Justice Bingham, of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, who
was on the bench, softly inquired.
“Yes, sir.” promptly replied the citi
zen.
“How does the deafness affect you
then?” the chief justice desired to
know.
“Why, your honor,” the citizen ex
plained, "I can't hear at all with my
left ear."
The chief justice smiled. “I suppose.”
he said, after a pause, "that under the
circumstances you would be able to
hear only one side of a case.”
The talesman was excused ,
