( I)o not say 'No.' j A tornado passed across the < Northwestern part of Hall county ' Texas, Friday afternoon and I completely demolished the home i of \Y. It. Moore and a man named i Wick son. Wicksou's family es caped to a dug-out and was un hurt, but two children of Moore's i were killed outright. Moore himself was seriously injured and Tom Martin, a neighbor who i was at Moore's house, was ; probably fatally injured. Mrs. Moore escaped to the dug-out; with her infant which was unhurt. The opening performance of the "Passion Play" at Selzach Switzerland, Sunday, by 350 peasant performers attracted crowds of torists and others. The performance was very im pressive throughout. The final scene on Calvary was rendered intensely dramatic by the sudden darkening of the sky, the heavy rolling of thunder in the hills and the downpour of torrents of rain. The weira reailisin thus imparted to the tragedy created various emotions in the audience. Chil dren cried in terror, women sob bed and many of the men present wept. Acting Quartermaster General Gird has telegraphed General Long, in charge of transporta tion at San Francisco, directing him to tit up the transport Thomas, if the Sherman is not available, so that she may sail on J uly 23d as a special trans port for teachers. The Thomas is to be fitted to carry 170female teachers for the Philippines. The War Department has received from Judge Taft appro val of the selecttion of 250! teachers who will be ready to sail on the Thomas. One hun dred and fifty-six ft achers will sail 011 the Buford and Logan on | July 1st and ltith. The Steamer Miowera, from Australia, which has arrived*at Victoria, British Columbia, | brings news from New Guinea of the massacre of Kevs. James Chalmers and B. F. Tompkins and 14 native teachers by can nibals. The whites were eaten. The place of the cannibal orgy was seen try troopssenttoinvesti gate the massacre. Part of a jaw and thigh bones of the mission aries were found, together with their hats and portions of trousers which belonged to Mr. Chalmers. The expedition pun ished the natives, destroying their villages and canoes. Priso ners taken in an attack made by the natives on the troops told the tale of the massacre. Charges of a cruel mode of punishment in one of the public schools of Chicago have been placed before Supt. Bane by Hugh Brad.v. He savs that chil dren in the Summer school have 1 vein11 1 111111 w 11 1 ronootodh' fnt* chewing pun during school hours by having soap forced into their mouths, being compelled to let it remain until it dissolved and ran down their throats. Children who say t hat they were subjected to the soap treatment returned to their homes on Wednesday with burning throats and raw mouths. Lester Rrady was one of tlie^sufferers, but tried to con ceal the fact from his parents. He was unable to eat his supper, and after repeated questioning the story came out. The charter of the Central University of China has been filed with the County Register at Nashville, Tenn. It is filed in accordance with the action of the board of missions of the Metho dist Episcopal Church South. The incorporators are Revs. J. I). Hammond, James Atkins, J. H. Kirkland and W. R.

Ul a USELESS habit. { Chicago Firm Prohibits the Use of Protanity Among its Employees. *hicatfo Herald i(tcord The action of the biff packing inn of Swift & Co.. in posting lotices forbidding profanity on he company's premittee will re vive tiie unqualified commenda ion of every person who has any conception of the elemental de cencies of life. it is not necessary to inquire nto the immediate causes which ed Swift & Co. to post the order. Its significance lies in the fact that a great corporation employ ing 5,000 persons in its packing establishment should conceive it to be necessary or desirable to forbid indulgence in profanity among its employes. The pre lumption is that the corporation was impelled by considerations which affected its own interests as well as the morals of the em ployes. Profanity among employes in such an establishment as that of Swift & Co., is provocation of bad temper and oad feeling. It not only lowers the moral tone of the employes who are com pelled to listen to it, but it is a breeder of dissention. It is the firebrand that kindles a hot tem per and turns hatred into vio lence. It is easy to see, therefore, that it may lower the efficiency of a large body of employes. As a matter of fact there is not a shadow of excuse for profanity in any relation of exigency of life. It adds no force of power to speech. It is the confession of vocal impotency in the man who usesit. Tlieblustering, bloviating blasphemer who flies into a rage and nours forth a stream of pro fanity upon all occasions Is a man who is not to be feared. When it comes tc a question of vocal dynamics the man whose speech is as clean and sharp as a hound's tooth will inspire most fear and respect. The Americans have the repu tation of being the most profane people on earth. In no other land or clime does the common speech reek with the pollution of profanity as here. The Japanese, the most docile, sweet-tempered, artistic, and ingenious people on earth, never poison the attnos phereof the "Flowery Kingdom" with profanity. There are no oaths or cuss words in the Japa nese language. A traveler in Fngland, tier many, or France very rarely hears the name of the Deity taken in vain. The continental lan guages do not appear to lend themselves to such vile and varie gated profanity as the Anglo Saxon tongue is capable of. Profanity is vile, disgusting, and useless habit. It istheoneab horrent blight upon a language that is destined one day to be come the common vehicle of all human thought. Stop it! An Awful Ordeal. What do you think of the nerve of a young woman who for three days could drive a team through a solitude of the mountains, car rying the dead body of her hus band and camping out with it alone every night? That was the terrible ordeal which .Mrs. Clara Davis, a bride of a year, and late of Iola, had to undergo in Oregon recently. She and her husband were on a pleasure trip through the coast range. In taking a rifiefroi thewagon .Mr. Davis was accidentally shot and killed. It was three days'travel to the nearest habitation and Mrs. Davis put her husband's body in the wagon and took it there. Mrs. Davis is returning to her former home in Kansas.? Kansas City Journal. seven Years in Bed. "Will wonders ever cease?" in quire the friends of Mrs. L. Pease, of Lawrence, Kan.

C., has appointed an commissioners to the convention the most active and practical ( business men and manufacturers of the State. 1 "I should like to attend the | convention myself," said Gover- j nor Aycock in an interview with The North American's staff cor- ' respondent, "and I would go were 1 it not for the fact that important > public engagements will keep me i' in Kaleign during the time it is in 1 session. Undoubtedly a great dtul of good to the commercial and industrial interests of the 1 South will result from this meet ing. " While we have a great deal to sell, there are also many things we want to buy. It is an ex change of commodities that we need. I never could understand why we do not enjoy closer trade relations with Philadelphia. Per- , sonallv, I think a great deal of Philadelphia and her people. 1 have visited there, and know of no finer city in the country. "I know our people would be glad to do business with Phila delphia if the proper relations were only once established. This convention seems to be the enter ing wedge, and 1 hope the busi ness men of both sections will be benefited by coming together and getting acquainted." Governor Aycock talked of the resources of North Carolina and the possibilities of their develop ment. As a farming section, he said, one portion of the State offered exceptional advantages. There are also great possibilities in fruit growing and truck gard ening. The fisheries of the State .1 vor.tr imnAT'f utif intlnetrv IUI III tX T CI J linpvi tuiuu 1IH4UWV1 j f | and the lumber interests are large. Buildingstoneof all kinds is found in abundance, and there are rich deposits of various min erals. The staple industry, of course, is the raising and spinning j of cotton. "All of these resources are being J rapidly developed," said the Gov- j ernor. "Four-fifths of the capital invested in manufacturing and other industries in this State is North Carolina capital. She doesn't need anything now ex cept to be let alone. If our po litical conditions are undisturbed for ten years we will work out our own salvation. "Things have just taken such shape that we can now turn our attention to business. We have the skill, the pluck and energy, and we either have the capital or can get it, for our credit is good. We have the cheapest govern ment of any State in the Union; our peopleareall happy and con tented, and we are settling down I to an era of great prosperity in I North Carolina. "We haven't much money now, but we are going to get some very soon. We feel that we have an exceedingly bright future. Our population is small, but it is strictly Anglo-Saxon. We will welcome here American citizens who come to our State to make their homes, and who bring skill or knowledge of manufacturing or other useful arts. We don't want any other kind of immigra tion." ? Philadelphia North American. Charged to Christian Science. The .Jacksonville doctors and the Christian Scientists have clashed. ' George Holmes, a well known negro, died Saturday. Holmes was suffering with ty uhyd fever and was attended by i l>rs. Morris and Love. Whenth'e physicians found a Christian Scientist at the patient's bedside and observed that their medicine was not being taken they aban donee! the case. When thephysieians werecalled upon for a death certificate they assigned the following cause of death: "The deceased hail ty ? pliotd fever, and it is our belief [ that the patient died of neglect i and the interference of a Chris ; tian Scietist, a woman named ? Mrs. Campbell, and that the pa . tient would not have died had he I taken the medicine prescribed by i us."

Inushady Street there dwelt | two Maidens who had their Traps t +et and baited. "Cou.eon, Boys,"' [ is what it said over the Door. 1 They were at the Age when they 1 live<l on Caramels and Excite- 1 ment. All respectable Males who I ::oulu talk back and who kept ] their Hair combed were wel- ? ttome, and the more merrier. i One of the Girls was a grand < little I'iece of Work and she had 1 a slew of uppetty-up Accomplish- ] inents, but for some reason her i Turnstile did not check as many ' Visitors as that of her Chum j across the Way. The other Girl i might have copped off many ' Prizes at a Beauty Contest, and I it had been remarked that her Piano-Playing was Fierce, and i yet she caught a majority of th? Callers. One Day as the two Friends were chatting, the one who had the Looks put up a kind of a Whimper. "Why, Oh why is it," she asked, "that you continue to stand Ace High with a lot of the Boys who seein to have passed me up. I always used them right, so why do they take the other side of the Street ? I know that I am count ed more of a Beauty than you; my Musical Education cost twice as much, and 1 have got you sewed up in a Sack when it comes to Correct English, yet you draw the Crowds. Where do I make my Fall-Down?" "Itearie, I hate to let any one else in on a Snap, but I suppose I must," replied her Companion. "I will admit that as a Gramma rian you are a Peachamaroot, but do you ever stop to consider the Topics that you spring on your Young Men? Hun? Why, you sit in front of them and you tell them what a bother it is to shop all Afternoon, and what Girls you saw down town and what a Time your Mamma has been having about a Cook, and how Grace said something that just made the other Girls shriek. For a whole Evening you Plate about your own Affairs. Of course, Common Politeness re quires the Gentleman to throw on the Fixed Smile and pretend to Follow you, but he is Bored. No Man cares much for what she said and then what you said to her. You never can win a Home by sitting around and talking about yourself and your Girl Friends." "And how do you manage it?" asked the other. ANYTHING TO KEEP HIM WARMED UP. "Oh, 1 suppose I don't know a Thing about the Male Sex, do I?" asked the Popular One with a Squint. "From the Minute that any Charley-Boy shows up at my Work-Shop, I talk about Him and nothing else. I make him tell me about his Clothes and how he lias his Room fixed up. 1 repeat all that I ever heard any of the Girls say about him. If I can't recall a good Philopena, 1 fake one.

When he gets up to go at Eleven o'clock, he is thrown out in front like a Pouter Pigeon. Naturally, lie thinks 1 am just about the Main Lady of t lie whole Works, and he is back to see me again next Evening." "Hut we are not Orientals," said the Good-Looker, proudly. "If there is to be any Flattering or Incense-Hurning. let the Men do it. 1 do not believe that Mod ern Woman should put Man on a Pedestal." "Some Day I will singleoutone and marry him," said her Friend, in a confidential Whisper. "And when I do, he won't stay up on any Pedestal more than Twenty Minutes. You know me." "I begin to Tumble," said the other,thoughtfully. "I think lean find use for your little Pointer." MoitAL:?It is better to hold back a few kinds of Conversation for those long Evenings at Home.

'hrietian Endeavor World. The pilgrims happened into one :hurch where the service was go ng on. The church was full of loldiers and muzhiks, of rich and :>oor people, all of whom were de voutly worshiping. A gorgeous wriest, clad in green and gold, ed the service, and a gorgeous jlue and green boy on each side leld up the holy candles. In the jackground one could see a high priest who seemed to be made of solid gold and who seemed to be t part of the large icon hanging 511 the wall. It was impossible to tell whether he was really a part ot the picture or not, so ab solutely motionless stood he there, like a graven image, till just at the close of the service he stepped down and out of the pic ture, and cameforward and stood in front to read the last part of the service. His robe was all of shimmering gold, which glittered in golden waves as he moved, and he wore on his head a golden mitre such as Aaron might have worn in the wandering in the wil derness. His long curling hair fell over his shoulders, and he looked just as much like a pic ture out of the frame as one in it. As he stepped to the front, the other priests stood aside, while this gorgeous, golden high priest led the closing service. A boy choir with magnificent voices sang the responses. Once the other fathers stepped forward, and one of them removed the jeweled mitre from the golden high priest's head, while he bowed to the icon and crossed himself, and then replaced the mitre.

The people listened very rever ently, and often they bowed low and crossed themselves. Traaing at Nijnl Novgorod. Despite the size of the gather ing at the great Russian Fair there is hardly any noise, and to the American visitor very little business seems in course of trans action. Ignorance of the com mercial methods in vogue gives rise to the latter impression. Wheu the Russian merchant con templates buying a bill of goods he betakes himself to the second story of the little shop which the seller of that part icular commod ity has made his own for the time being, and there buyer and seller discuss the matter over in numerable cups of tea. Tea drinking is an important part of the transaction, a ceremony that is never omitted. The Russian does not sweeten his tea as we do ours, but puts a lump of sugar into his mouth instead of into his cup, a method in which it is hard to see the advantage.
