More than two tons of Goff letter box
fasteners, the kind purchased by
Mar.hen, have been found in the cellar
of the Milwaukee postoffice, where they
were sent without requisition. None
of the fasteners had ever been used.
Indeed,. they were not intended to be
used. When they had been made and
sold to the government their useful
ness was ended.
Judge Thomae L. Pershing, who died
in Potteville, Pa., the other day, was a
jurist of the "old school” and a Demo
crat of the kind to which the same
term might be applied. It was he who
presided at the trials of the famous
Molly Maguires, the gang that terroriz
ed the coal regions some twenty or
more years ago, and sentenced a num
ber of them to death. In 1875 he was
a candidate for Governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket, but was defeated by-
Gen. Hartranft.
That a young wife's cake may serve
some good purpose, after all, was
shown at Newark, N. J., the other
day. A burglar broke into the house
of George Meyer and stole, among oth
er thing*, a cake that Mrs. Meyer had
compounded. The thief took one bite
of the cake, then threw it into the
yard. But that bite left an imprint
that proved the thief's undoing. A
man was found to whose teeth the
matrix in the cake corresponded per
fectly, and he was arrested.
Collector Crum of Charleston has
some ideas on the lynching problem.
“Lynching is not a race problem.” he
says. '‘Such punishments savor of
barbarism; but the crimes that pro
voke them are so atrocious that no
punishment is too severe. If the law
was quick and decisive there would be
fewer lynchings. When a man is
guilty he has no rights. The remedy
exterminate the horrible wretches
the crime, promptly, and
legally lit' possible. If this is not done
lynching* will continue.”

EFFECT OF THE COTTON CORNER.
It is problematical as to what ex
tent the present comer in cotton will
benefit cotton planters. It looks now
as if the price of cotton would re
main high until the bulk of the new
crop was marketed, though much will
depend upon the size of the crop.
Of course while the cotton planters
will be benefited if the price remains
high the mill owners and the mill op
eratives are suffering. As much as
90 per cent, of the mills of Lowell,
Mass., have already closed, and It is
the understanding that they will re
main closed until about Oct. I. In
fact, in all parts of New England the
mills are closing. The same thing is
taking place in England. The manu
facturers cannot afford to keep their
mills running with cotton at the pres
ent price, unless they are fortunate
enough to be in the possession of a
stock of cotton purchased at about 10
cents a pound. There are compara
tively few mills, however, that have
stocks of cotton on hand purchased
at that price.
Tens of thousands of mill operatives
are out of employment and will re
main out until there Is a drop in the
price of cotton. They understand that
the mills cannot be run when the
manufactured product cannot be sold
for as much as the raw material costs.
Of course this closing of the mills
will have a disturbing effect upon
business, particularly in the sections
of the country where the mills are
located. The disturbing effect may be
come more general than present signs
indicate. If the demand for cotton falls
off to the extent which now seems
probable there may be a very consld
, erable decrease in the price of it. In
deed, the decrease may be so great
that the cotton planters would have
been betetr off if there had been no
speculative corner in cotton.
There is one thing which the pres
ent high price will do. It will stimu
late the production of cotton in In
dia and those other parts of the world
where experiments In raising cotton
are being made. It will also cause a
great Increase in the area devoted to
cotton in this country. The result
may be that the fall in the price of
cotton will be as great as the rise has
been. It is a question therefore wheth
er or not tj)e forcing up the price of
cotton by speculative means is bene
ficial to the cotton planters, taking
one year with another. The fact that
the outlook for the present crop is not
altogether encouraging, together with
the reports of the ravages of the boll
weevil in Texas, is helping the specu
lative syndicate that is boosting the
price of cotton. Just what the out
come of the present situation In cotton
wilt be there does not seem to be any
well defined opinion. It seems to be
pretty generally agreed, however, that
the cotton planter is going to get a
good price for his cotton this year.
THE CHILD LABOR ni1,1,.
Maj. Hunson said about all there is
to be said against the proposed legis
lation prohibiting the employment
of children in the cotton mills
under a certain age In his
address before the members of the Leg
islature on Monday night, but the In
ference tn our Atlanta dispatches Is
that he made but few, if any, converts
to his views.
A strong point that he made was
that those who are so solicitous about
the welfare of children employed in
the mills seem to take no Interests In
them as long as they remain on the
farms. According to Maj. Hanson their
condition is much worse on the farms,
their life harder and their chances of
getting an education much less than It
is as employes of the mills.
It may be true that on the farms the
Children have a pretty hard life and
get but little schooling. Asa rule,
however, they have the best of health.
Living much of the time in the open
air and having the freedom of the
country they grow up strong and
healthy.
As employes of the mills they are
confined many hours out of each day,
and, that too, in an atmosphere that is
not conducive to health. Naturally
they grow up with weakened constitu
tions. and many of them become inva
lids by the time they reach middle life.
The reason the reformer* pay no at
tention to the children on the farms
who, according to Maj. Hanson, are
more to he pitied than the children of
the factories, is that they know noth
ing about them. These children of ten
ant farmers dp not come within the
sphere of their observation, and hence
they do not attempt to better their
condition.
No doubt, however, there is much to
be said on each side of this child la
bor question, but the weight of the
argument seems to be on the side of
giving the children a chance to get a
little schooling, and to get the physi
cal development which is necessary In
order to become healthy men and
women.
Superstitious persons in Barbour
county. West Virginia, were much ex
ercised the other day by the falling of
what is described as a “black rain.”
Small streams became almost inky, and
cattle that were in the rain were dyed
black. Imaginative persons among
the Ignorant declared the peculiar rain
was accompanied by a decided smell
of sulphur, and hence the precipitation
must have been caused by the evil
one. The cloud from which the rain
fell wan very dark and angry-looking.
Investigation showed that a whirlwind
had passed over a culm bank at a
/coal mine some miles distant: the
coal dust had been carried up Into the
cloud and dropped to the earth later
in the form of the blaok rain.
Clemson College, the agricultural
and mechanical college of South Caro
lina, recently concluded Its tenth year
■ under most gratifying auspices. The
practical and technical Instruction
given at this school is of the kind that
is needed in the South, to make build
ers and skilled workers of its young
men. The president of the faculty. Mr.
P. H. Meli, by the way, is a Georgian
by birth and education. The success
of the college over which he presides
Is due in considerable measure to his
ability as an instructor and executive
officer.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JULY 2. 1903.
HOMES IN SAVANNAH.
If the thoughts thrown out by Col.
Mercer in the brief address he made
to the graduating class, on the oc
casion of the closing exercises of the
High School on Tuesday night, rel
ative to the building of homes suitable
to the climate of this locality, could
be so forcibly Impressed upon the
minds of the people of this city as to
influence them in the construction of
dwellings, we are sure they would do
a world of good. Of course but little
can be done to improve dwelling houses.
In the old part of the city, but there
is no reason why such dwellings as
Col. Mercer described should not be
constructed in the new part. There is
no satisfactory reason for making the
squares and lots so small, thus im
posing an enormous burden on the tax
payers for paving, cleaning and re
pairing streets and lanes. There is
plenty of land close to the heart of
the city, and street car lines reach out
in every direction.
In this climate, as Col. Mercer said,
every dwelling should occupy a
good sized lot, and there should
be plenty of room around it for
grass, flowers and shrubbery. Gif
course there are some such homes in
the new part of the city, but even these
few have the appearance of being
cramped by their surroundings. The
houses are too big for the lots.
But we have reference particularly
to the homes of people of very mod
erate means. Instead of cottages in
the midst of flowers and vines and
well-kept grass plats most of the
houses are crowded together as if the
purpose was to get as many houses as
possible in a given space.
Of course the land companies are
largely responsible for this condition
of affairs. Their aim has been to get
as much as possible out of the land
they put upon the market, hut there is
an abundance of land to be had, and
it Is strange that the owners of some
of it do not cut it up in large lots and
offer it at reasonable prices for just
such homes as there ought to be In
this locality. In view of the fact that
the street car lines reach out for miles
and the lands are well drained there
is no reason why there should not be
a movement in the direction of the
building of such homes as Col. Mercer
described. There is plenty of land in
•close touch with the city which, if
cut up into lots one hundred feet by
two hundred feet and sold at prices
much less than those now asked for
lots thirty by one hundred feet, would
yield the owners a good profit.
THE cm DEFENDER.
In yachting circles and the offices of
the sporting editors of New York it is
accepted as a foregone conclusion ihat
the Reliance will defend the AmerissVs
cup against Sir Thomas Lipton’s third
Shamrock. Official announcement of
the selection of the defender will not
be made, of course, until the prelim
inary races shall have been concluded,
but it is not necessary to wait until
that time to see what the decision of
the committee will be. The Reliance
has on several occasions demonstrated
that she is the superior of her older
rivals on all points of the wind. She
has never been headed, and has never
failed to respond to any demand made
upon her. In both heavy and light
weather she has given an excellent ac
count of herself. And she Is getting
better every day. No doubt much of
her smartness is due to the wonderful
seamanship of her skipper, Barr, though
full credit is due to the craft herself.
By the time of the international races,
the boat will be fit to carry the hopes
of her countrymen. Confidence in her
is beginning to be manifested at the
New York hotels and clubs, where her
friends are making known their will
ingness to back their judgment with
cash.
Sir Thomas Lipton says he has
brought over the best and fastest
yacht ever turned out of a British
shipyard, and there can be no doubt
that he speaks truly. Designer Fife,
he says. Was discovered and made use
in the hull of an innovation for driv
ing the boat to windward, and that she
does sail to windward like a witch has
been remarked by a number of ex
perts who have seen her. But it is
possible that Herreshoff also has an
Innovation hidden below the water line
of the Relfance, since she, too, does
windward work that is the admiration
of all sailormen who have seen it.
Everything considered, it is certain
that the coming contest will be one
of the beet and most interesting ever
held. With boats that are evenly
matched, crews trained to act in con
cert with the precision of machinery,
and owners that are sportsmen of the
first class, the races ought to arouse
enthusiasm on both sides of the ocean.
Mr. Raymond Patterson, of the staff
of the Chicago Tribune, has given to
the country for the first time the real
cause of the trouble in the Indianola,
Miss., postoffice. Writing to his paper
from Indianola. he says that the ob
jection to the continuance of Minnie
Cox, the colored postmaster, in office
"arose entirely from the fact that the
negroes got into the habit of congre
gating about the postoffice, although
not one of them in a hundred had any
business there, and white women and
children were frequently made the
objects of unpleasant remarks by these
postoffice loungers.” It was the loafers
that precipitated the trouble. Com
plaint to the Postoffice Department
might have had the result of remov
ing them, but a few men took matters
into their own hands and the woman
left the office.
The Pollak-Vimg rapid telegraph
Instrument is reported to have shown
the speed of 40,000 words per hour in
Germany, on a line of 447 miles, be
tween Berlin and ICoenigsberg, and the
government has decided to install the
new instruments on the busy lines
between Berlin and Frankfort. Con
sul Mason, at Berlin, gives this brief
description of the apparatus; “A
special writing machine, which is
worked in the usual way, perforates
a strip of paper which is drawn over
a roller under metallic brushes with
great rapidity. The interruptions of
the current move the membra nces of
two telephones at the receiving sta
tion, which write tihe messages by
. means of a small mirror.' 1
We commented some weeks ago on
the scheme of Prof. Whitney, an elec
trician of Chicago, to draw an unlim
ited supply of electricity from space
outside the earth's asmosphere by Pro
jecting a wire into space. How Prof.
Whitney’B proposed to get his wire out
beyond the atmospheric envelope of
the earth was a puzzle; now we are
offered an explanation of it. A 13-inch
cannon is to be taken to the summit
of Pike's Peak and mounted so that
its muzzle will point directly to the
zenith. From this cannon will be fired
a spherical iron magnet. To this pro
jectile will be attached a coil of wire
thirty miles long. Prof. Whitney be
lieves that once beyond the pale of the
law of gravitation the magnet will be
drawn into the electrical sea, the wire
will hold it, and by attaching larger
wires, he can draw from above limit
less electrical power. He must calcu
late on a very accommodating projec
tile or a prodlgeously strong wire. It
is safe to say that at the time Whit
ney fires his cannon, with Us thirty
miles of wire attached to the shot,
tourists will give the neighborhood of
Pike's Peak a wide berth.
Are the times accursed? One can
scarcely pick up a newspaper without
seeing an account of some terrible
tragedy, and it has been so since the
beginning of the year. It was estimat
ed some two weeks ago that up to that
time more than 1,000 persons had met
violent deaths in the United States
since Jan. 1, and hundreds have been
added to the list since then. Railroad
wrecks, floods, cloud bursts, forest
fires, mine explosions, elevator acci
dents, murders and lynchings have
followed each other tn rapid and terri
ble procession, until it would seem
that some evil influence were at work
to make 1903 memorable for its bloody
record.
At the Wesley memorial services at
Wesleyan University, Middletown,
Conn., th? other day a poem on John
AVesley by Richard AYatson Gilder was
read. In the poem occurs this pas
sage:
In those clear, piercing, piteous eyes
behold
The very soul that over England
flamed!
Deep, pure, intense; consuming shame
and ill;
Convicting men of sin; making faith
live;
And this, the mightiest miracle of all,
Creating God again in human hearts.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
“It is hinted that when the Postoffice
Department scandal is thoroughly
stirred up it will bring to the surface
various and divers congressmen and
senators who, though they did not
participate in any of the financial
swag, got large quantities of “pork” In
the shape of unauthorized appoint
ments and violations of the civil serv
ice law. The vociferous depreciation
of the investigation in some quarters
indicates where certain of these states
men are to be found.”
The New Orleans Item (Dem.) says:
"There is a belief, widespread if not
universal, that Tillman who slew Gon
zales in cold blood, will escape punish
ment. There is similar belief that the
Breathitt assassins will escape Justice.
There are difficulties and obtructlons In
the progress of the court that always
count in favor of the criminal. There
are a thousand rules of evidence and
technical points of pleading, any one
of which, if mistaken by the Judge,
gives the criminal anew trial. A few
years ago a ravisher In Alabama, a
white man, was tried and convicted
three times and each time sentenced
to be executed, but the Supreme Court
on each occasion stepped in and re
versed the case because of some error
of the judge upon an immaterial point.
Popular patience became exhausted
and the mob finally broke into the jail
and lynched the man. There was no
occasion for another appeal.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.')
says: "It is alleged that the negro,
White, who was lynched by the Dela
ware mob had been twice before con
victed and punished for rape and at
tempted rape. Imprisonment had no
deterrent Influence upon his bestial
nature. His last atrocious, unspeakable,
unprintable, murderous assault fur
nished proof that to turn such crea
tures loose in the community is to be
come accessory before the fact to the
awful consequences. Either criminals
of this class should be permanently
restrained of their liberty, or hanged
or made physical! incapable of future
offending of like nature. The Record
fully indorses the suggestion of the
Press: 'No man ought to leave a state
prison after a conviction for this of
fense or its attempt until the prison
surgeon had made it impossible to re.
peat offense or attempt. The way to
prevent lawlessness In the mob Is to
prevent lawlessness In the criminal.'’'

York Post. The translation runs as

Mr*. Shnw’i Wit.
Mrs. Leslie M. Shaw, the wife of
the Secretary of the Treasury, has re
cently given out in Washington a num
ber of amusing interviews about the
inadequacy of the salaries of cabinet
officers, says the Boston Post. Mrs.
Shaw was Miss Alice Crawshaw in her
youth, and she has always been noted
for her ready wit.
It is said of her that a young man
of humorous bent one day exclaimed
in her presence:
“What could be more dreadful for
a woman, after mending her husband's
coat, to find in one of the pockets a
love letter from another woman?”
■'Fortunately,” said Mrs. Shaw, “that
could never happen. The woman would
find the letter first, and then she would
not mend the coat.”
The Pope’* Wit.
The following story of the Pope’s
ready wit is current in Italy, where
he personally is most popular, even
among the .Anti-Clericals. He has some
nephews who find it somewhat difficult
to extract money from him. The wife
of one of these nephews is said to have
undertaken to get some from him. She
solicited an interview, and, having ob
tained it, said: "Holy Father, I come
to seek your advice. lam poor. I
have a large family, and, alas! I am
in debt. I have been gifted by heaven
with a good voice, and the proprietor
of a music hall has offered me a large
salary to appear on his stage and sing
a few simple songs. Ought I to accept
the offer?” “Certainly," replied his
holiness: “and I only regret that my
official position will not allow me to
be present at your debut.”
In One Man'* Poeket.
A recent traveler was curious to col
lect traditions about curing or prevent
ing sickness, says the New York Post.
In his collection he found that if a
Massachusetts man carried the things
which are held to be effective he would
have In his pocket:
A horse chestnut, to keep away rheu
matism.
A potato, for the same thing.
An onion, to preserve him from hav
ing fits.
A piece of camphor gum, so us not
to catch smallpox.
A bit of brimstone, to ward off the
itch.
If the Massachusetts man followed
the rules of health he would wear:
A black silk cord around his neck
to ward off croup.
A red string, to prevent rheuma
tism.
An eel skin round his waist for the
same purpose.
A little bag of sulphur to guard
against scarlet fever.
An eel skin around an ankle to keep
from having cramps.
A piece of red woolen yarn about
the neck to prevent nose bleed.
To cure sore throat tie one stocking
about your neck when you go to bed.
Senator Clark Bnuneed.
How Senator W. A. Clark, Montana
multi-millionaire, came to be kept out
of his magnificent new Fifth avenue
residence by a watchman, and how he
had to leave without being able to show
his new home to a party of friends, is
a story over which workmen about the
great palace at Seventy-seventh street
have been chuckling for some time,
says a New York dispatch.
The Senator was lightly bounding
up the massive steps to the great front
door, when the watchman, who is usu
ally on duty only at night, but who
also keeps guard over the property on
Sunday, espied him. The watchman
had never seen the United States Sen
ator from Montana, and consequently
failed to recognize the bushy-whiskered
man as the owner of the house he was
guarding.
“Where you goin’?” demanded the
vdatchman, mounting the steps.
“I’m going to look over the house,”
replied Senator Clark, quietly.
“Well, I guess not,” retorted the
watchman, emphatically. “What do
you want here, anyway?”
“I own the building,” announced Sen
ator Clark In tones of some surprise.
“Say,” said th£ night watchman,
swinging his club, and winking confi
dentially at the Sen'ator, “I’m on this
job three years and if I behave me
self I can stay here three years more,
d'ye see? No 'con'.game like that for
me.”
Senator Clark looked very much con
fused,'' but finally bethought himself
and pulled out a small card.
“My name is Clgrk,” he said. “Here
Is my dard.”
On the card appeared (the name,
“Senator William A. Clark.” The
watchman took one look at it, and then
swung his club.
“Up the street for yours, or I'll call
a cop!” he jeered.
At last the owner of the $6,000,000
mansion confessed himself outdone end
retired in confusion, taking his guests
with him.
A World of Little Thin**.
From the New York Times.-
A little trill of laughter, a chord in
nature's song;
A little deed of righteousness to stand
against the wrong;
A little duty heeded; a little honor
won;
A little hill surmounted, and a little
kindness done;
A little labor daily; a little prayer and
praise;
A little act of kindness to gladden
weary days;
And so the whole creation to its cease
less heaven swings.
For little man is living in a world of
little things.
A little hope to cheer us, although it
waiteth still;
A little fire for comfort when win
ter nights are chill;
A little dream, God given, to bless
us on the way;
A little welcome waiting us at ending
of the day;
A little purpose shining through every
deed we do;
A little bunch of roses to overspread
the rue;
A little peace surpassing to which the
( spirit clings.
For little man is living in a world of
little things.
A little hope, a little love, a little toil
and rest; $
A little glimpse beyond the veil, a
little problem guessed;
A little faith, a little doubt, a little
blinded trust;
A little halting journey, and a little of
its dust;
A little knowledge merely of little
ways we wend;
A little dream of heaven awaiting at
the end;
A little struggling upward, although
on broken wings.
For little man is living in a world of
little things.
