president Washington, in his ad
w said in part:
"As a race we must learn more and
gore that the opinion of the world re-
i,at we may say of ourselves,
ot by what others may say
f us, but it- is permanently
influenced by actual, tangible, visible
results. The object lesson of one
honest negro succeeding magnificently
in each community in some business
or industry is worth a hundred ab
stract speeches on seouring opportu
.it for the race.
"In the South, as in most parts of
the world, the negro who does some
thine and possesses something is re
spected y both races. Usefulness in
tht community where we live will
constitute our most lasting and potent
protection. , ' . ,
"We want to learn the lesson of
small things and small beginnings.
Wi must not feel ourselves above the
most bumble occupation of the simple,
humble oeginning. ii our vision is
clear, our will strong, we will use the
very obstacles' that ofienseem to beset
us as a stepping stone to a higher and
more useful life.

aituation underwent no change to-day.
xnere was no extension of the strike
and the steel managers did not attempt
to start any more mills. Late in the
day the fires were lighted in the
uemmier tin plate works, at McKees
port, but the machinery was nnt
started and no attempt was made to
operate it... It is believed, however,
mat tne move is preliminary to start
ing with non-union man Th man
agers of the company have been pre
paring icr several aays to re-open a
number of their properties and it is
thought that they have deeided to act
at once. Their Monessen plant is mov
ing uninterruptedly with full crews
and their Crescent works, at Cleve-
auu, uas idoui nan me macmner; in
operation. There has been no
break iu the Carnegie croup and the
mills that have been started with non

going ahead with about the usual force

were busy all day, but at nightfall
both said there were no announce"
ments to make.
Exciting Rumors.
On the streets it was a dav of ex
citing rumors, beginning with a cir
cumstantial story of a plot to destroy
vae jaononganeia tin plant, and end
ing with a tale of the removal of the
largest plants of the United States
Steel Corporation to England. Be
tween, the two rumor again settled the!
atrike in several ways. At headquart
ers solid denial was given to all the in
teresting stones.
John Sternsdroff. .a rougher from
Richmond, Va., who claimed that he
was a member of tne party of strike
breakers brought to Monessen on
Sunday by "Alabama Joe" Carter,
was at strike headquarters to-day. He
said that Carter had entirely misrep
resented the facta to him and that he
had slipped out of the works the first
time a chance presented itself. He
says four men left Richmond ; that five
deserted en route and that three left
when he did. He placed the number
of men now in the mill at eighteen,
and said very little work was being
accomplished. The strikers welcomed
Sternsdroff, and were elated over his
statement When he told them that
another party was being formed to
come north they took Bteps to head it
off.
To Force a Settlement.
President Theodore J. Shaffer, of
the Amalgamated Association, said
to-night that he haa well defined plaps
to bring the great strike to a close.
This is to be done by bringing about
such a crisis in the differences be
tween the Steel Corporation and the
Amalgamated Association as will force
a settlement. Just how all this is to
be accomplished is a mystery

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
(ate Convention In. Session af Roanoke.
Col. J. Hampton Hoge Nominated
for Governor.
B Telegraph to the Horning Btar.
Roanokk.Va., Aug. 21. The Repub
lican State convention assembled here
in the Academy of Music at nnrm
day with 1,200 delegates present. This
is tbe first Republican convention that
has named a straight ticket in this
Btate since the days of Gen. William
Mahone. The crowd was good na
tured and every one seemed to feel
kindly disposed to his neighbor,
whether Hoge or anti-Hoge. If there
waa bitterness it was latent and was
to become evident, if at all, later on
when the proceedings were under
way. Pictures of McKinley and Roose
velt were in evidence.
While the roll was being called a
great storm was aroused by the deci
sion of the secretary to omit from tbe
call Richmond and Roanoke, because
of contesting delegates from those
8 laces. Hugh M. Cordon Miller, of
lewport News, tried to speak on the
ruling of the secretary, but was drown
ed out. He finally succeeded in hav
ing the contesting delegations sent to
the credentials committee.
O. A. Heermans. of Montgomery,
was made temporary chairman. The
names of J. Hampton Hoge and Gen
erals Walker and Rosser were cheer
ed. OI the five living Confederate
Generals in Virginia, four are in at
tendance. Committees on organization, resolu
tions and credentials were appointed
amid much confusion and at 3 o'clock
the convention took a recess until 8
P. M.
The roll call was begun a few min
utes after midnight and as it progress
ed it became evident that Hcge was
the choice of the convention.
General Rosser asked to have tbe
nomination of Hoge made unanimous
but it was not allowed and the roll
call went on. '
Mr. Lurty asked to withdraw his
name, but the convention objected.
Later the vote was declared unani
mous for Hoge. A committee consist
ing of Messrs. Moore of Montgomery,
and Rosser of Rockingham escorted
Col. Hoge to the platform. The scene
that followed his appearance defies
description. There was the wildest
excitement. -
CENSUS BUREAU'S
MORTALITY STATISTICS.
Most Important Feature is Decrease In
the General Death Rate Total
Deaths Io Southern States.
.
Bv Telegraph to the Horning star.
Washington, Aug. 2i. The census
bureau to-day made public the mor
tality statistics for the year 1900. W.
A. King, chief of the vital statistics
division, says:
. "The most important feature of the
results presented is found in the de
crease in the general death rate in the
registration area of 1.8 per 1,000 of
population, a decrease of nearly 10 per
cent.and the decrease in the rates from
the particular diseases to which the
general decrease is due.
"The effect of the advances made in
medical science and sanitation and in
preventative and restrictive measures
enforced by the health authorities is
still more strikingly shown in the
comparative rate for the registration
cities of the country taken together.
"In 1890 tbe death rate in 271 regis
tration cities of 5,000 or more popula
tion was 21 per 1,000; in 1900 the rate
was 18 6 per 1,000 ;in 341 cities of 8,000
population and upward, a reduction of
2 4 per 1,000.
"The decrease in the general death
rate and in the rates due to diseases
most frequent in the early years of
life on the one hand, and the increase
in -the rates due to those diseases oc
curring generally at advanced ages on
the other, mean also increased longev
ity.
"The average age at death in 1890
was 31.1 years; in 1900 it was 35 years.
The total number of deaths reported
in 1900 was 1,039,094; in 1890 it was
841,419."
The total deaths in the (Southern
States for 1900 are as follows:
Alabama. 25.699; Florida, 6,482;
Georgia, 26,941; Maryland, 20,422;
Mississippi, 20,251; Missouri, 38,084;
South Carolina, 17,166; Virginia, 25,

WASHINGTON LETTER
Ifj culal Correspondence. - ' -The
visit of Secretary Root and Ad
jutant General Corbin to the Philip
pines will be planned so as to enable
them to reach Manila about the 1st of
July, when the military government is
turned over to the civil officers.
Both Mr. Root and General Corbin
are very anxious to acquaint themv
selves with the actual conditions exist
ing in the Philippines and feel that
they can learn more in a month of per
sonal inspection than can be obtained
by reading masses of correspondence.
General Corbin has long been anxious
to get out to the islands, but has been
detained here by the pressure of official
business. It is believed when the new
army appointments shall have been
made there will be a lull In the routine
work and that his desk, which is al
ways laden with business, can be man
aged by the officers of his bureau.
General Corbin said recently that
he should be very glad of an opportuni
ty to go to the Philippines, and while
he could not say definitely whether the
trip would be possible he hoped to so
arrange his affairs as to be able to un
dertake it.
Senator Hanna and the Arab.
A Washington street arab has suc
cessfully tried a new form of soothsay
ing oa-Seaator Hanna. It strengthens
the adageTfcat all men are snscentihln
to flattery.
Mr. Hanna and Colonel nick
standing in front of the Hanna man-sIoq,-
which adjoins a theater. The
two statesmen were talking and look
ing at some of the faraway stars when
the boy came up and Baid to Senator
Hanna:
"Say, mister, can't you give me a
pass to your show to see you act?"
When it became apparent to Senator
Hanna that the boy was paying -the
limit of a compliment in mistaking him
for an actor, he began laughing. As he
dived Into his trousers pocket he said:
"I am not an actor, bub, but hero ia
'something equally as good as a pass."
The senator gave the boy a shining
half dollar and, turning to Representa
tive Dick, said:
"That is a new Joke on me. I have
been mistaken for a, theatrical man
ager, but never before taken for an
actor."
Away All Summer.
After the 29th of April, on which
day the president leaves for the Pa
cific slope, he will spend very little
time in Washington until next f alL
The trip to the west will occupy six
weeks. Upon returning to Washing
ton the president will almost immedi
ately leave for New England to attend
the commencements of Wellesley and
Harvard universities and to be the
guest of Senator Hoar. He will stay
two or three days with Mr. Hoar, dur
ing which time some interesting ex
cursions to historic places near Worces
ter will be undertaken. The president
will then become the guest of Sen
ator McMillan at Manchester-by-the-Sea
and later will go to Hingham, the
home of Secretary Long, where he will
spend the Fourth of July.
If the president returns to Washing
ton from his New England trip, it will
be only for a brief stop. He proposes
to reach Canton as soon as possible
and will remain there until fall.
Internal Revenue Halleri.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has held that a legacy for literary,
charitable or educational uses on
which tax was not paid prior to March
1, 1901, is exempt from tax. This de
cision was made in the case of a lega
cy to the Philadelphia School of De
sign For Women.
The commissioner has also accepted
the ruling of the United States cir
cuit court of appeals for the ninth cir
cuit, to the effect that "goods are of
fered for sale" at the place where they
are kept for sale and where a sale
may be effected. They are not offered
for sale elsewhere by sending abroad
an agent with samples or by establish
ing an office for the purpose of tak
ing orders. j -
Tax on Tobacco and Clean.
The commissioner has Issued rules
and regulations concerning taxes on to
bacco, cigars and cigarettes and relat
ing to rebate of taxes on tobacco, snuff
and cigars held by manufacturers and
dealers on the 1st day of July under
the act of March 2. A new series of In
ternal revenue stamps will be prepared
and issued for tbe payment of taxes on
cigars and small cigarettes at the new
rates. These stamps will not be sold
or delivered to manufacturers or im
porters of cigars prior to July 1.
Tbe New Senate.
When tbe senate meets in December
or earlier If occasion should bring it to
gether, it will consist of 88 members,
two short of the whole number to
which the body is entitled, the short
age caused by Delaware's inaction. Of
the 88 the Republicans will have 53,
including Kyle of South Dakota, and
with Jones of Nevada classed as a Re
publican there will be 54 members to
be depended upon on political ques
tions. The opposition will consist of
83 Democrats, Teller (Silver) and Wel
lington. FoitHge Stamp Dealsma.
The question of changing the design
of the regular Issue of postage stamps
Is under consideration at the postoffiee
department. Mr. Madden, third as
sistant postmaster general, says it Is
probable that the name of the person
will be printed under the bead borne
on the stamps. Other changes sug
gested which may receive serious con
sideration are that the dates of birth
and death of the person may be printed
under the same and that the design
also bear an inscription giving the year
of issue of the particular series of
stamps. " Cam. Schofield

CATARRHAL TROUBLE.
The Tar Ion a Phaaea ot This Unpleas
ant Affliction.
Catarrh is an inflammation of any ot
the mucous membranes of the body. It
is marked by tbe usual signs of inflamma
tion and, as the word implies, being de
rived from a' Greek word meaning to flow
down, by a more or less profuse dis
charge. Catarrh may be acute or chronic, and
the latter, as will be explained later, may
be either atrophic or hypertrophic.
Acute catarrh unfortunately .needs no
description, for it is only too familiar to
us all as a cold in the head. In this case
it is the mucous membrane of the nostrils
which is inflamed. The most obvious
symptoms are swelling of the membrane,
which may be so great as to close the
nostrils completely, and a profuse dis
charge.
When acute catarrh attacks the
pharynx or larynx, we. have a sore throat,
and if the inflammation extends still far
ther we have bronchitis. In the latter
case tbe most evident sign is acough, due
either to the presence of a mucous dis
charge or to irritation caused by the air
passing through the inflamed bronchial
tubes.
In young children the inflammation in
the larynx causes much swelling, and
this gives rise to the difficult breathing
and hoarse voice which characterize one
form of croup. -
If catarrh attacks the stomach, it
causes severe indigestion, and when the
intestinal mucous membrane is affected
the most prominent symptom is diarrhea.
Conjunctivitis and acute inflammation of
the ear are the expressions of catarrh, of
the eje and of the drum of the car.
In chronic catarrh the process is less
active; there is usually little or no pain,
but the discharge is profuse and thick.
In hypertrophic catarrh the mucous
membrane becomes permanently thick
ened, but in atrophic catarrh it is thinned.
Atrophic catarrh is not really an inflam
mation, bnt rather the result of a pre
vious inflammation which has destroyed
the mucous membrane, leaving in its
place merely a thin skin, covering the
surface, but answering none of the pur
poses of a mucous membrane.
A catarrh may be caused by anything
that acts as an irritant to the mucous
membrane dust, sulphurous, ammoniac
al or other strong fumes, undue dryness
of the atmosphere, and so forth, in the
case of the air passages or eyes; indigesti
ble food, alcohol, and so forth, in the case
of stomach or intestines.
Often the inflammation is due to the
action of the microbes', which are proba
bly always present, but can work harm
only when Jhe soil has been prepared for
them by mechanical injury, or by conges
tion caused by a chilling of some portion
of the surface of the body. Youth's Com

Feralamera Ia Mexico Who Keep
Fnll ot tbe Orng All the Time.
"The quantity of quinine taken by for
eigners on the southeast coast of Mexico
is something simply incredible," said a
resident of this city who is interested in
coffee culture in the sister republic.
"There is a general belief among the
Americans and English all through that
region that the drug is necessary for the
preservation of life, and they keep full of
it. from one year's end to another. The
first time I visited the coast I stopped at
Frontera, the first port east of Vera
Cruz, and as soon as our ship tied, up it
was boarded by a tall, sallow man, who
turned out to be an American engineer,
in charge of a big sugar plant up the
country. He made a bee line for the purs
er. 'Hello, Billy,' he said; 'did you
bring that quinine?' 'Sure,' replied the
purser, and diving into his cabin he came
out with an armful of tin boxes about the
size of tea canisters and japanned green.
Each of them held a pound of quinine. I
never saw it put up that way before, and
naturally I was surprised.
"I soon scraped an acquaintance with
the engineer and made bold to inquire
what in the world he wanted with such a
supply. 'Are you getting it on a specula
tion?' I asked, with a vague idea that it
might be intended for some Mexican
army contractor. He laughed heartily.
'Speculation nothing,' said fie. 'This all
goes to our little colony of Americans
back in the interior, and it won't last
very long, either.' With that he drew a
penknife from his pocket, opened a blade
that had been ground off round, like a
spatula, and thrust it into one of the
cans. He brought out a flaky, white
mass enough to heap a teaspoon put it
on his tongue and swallowed it like so
much sugar. 'Have you any idea how
many grains you are taking?' I asked in
amazement. 'Only approximately,' he re
plied carelessly. 'A man quits weighing
quinine after he has been down here a
few months.'
"That was my first encounter with a
bona fide quinine eater," the coffee plant
er went on, "but I met plenty of them
afterward. They generally keep the stuff
in rubber tobacco pouches to protect it
from" perspiration, and when they feel
like taking a dose they dig in with one
of those spatulated knives that they all
carry and swallow as much as they see
fit. As they go entirely by guess, it is
hard to say how much will be taken in
the course of a day, but I have weighed
the amount that can be lifted on the
ordinary knife blade and found it to
range between 25 and 50 grains. You
see, quinine is as compressible as cotton.
and two wads of it that look about the
same size will vary a hundred per cent in
weight.
"One would suppose, as a matter of
course, that such enormous Quantities of 4
the drug would produce an intolerable
ringing in the head; but, strange to say,
they do nothing of the kind. The aver
age white man down there who keeps un
der the influence all the time experiences
nothing except a slight feeling of ex
hilaration at least'so I was assured by
dozens of habitues. Whether the use of
the stuff is of any real benefit is some
thing I am skeptical about. I never took
a grain of it myself, and I was the only
man on our plantation who didn't hare a
touch of fever." New Orleans Times-

Austin, Tex., Nov. 21, 1900. f
I have found Dr. Hoffeet's TEETH INA a
splendid remedy and aid for my teething chil
dren. When my oldest boy a teething child,
every succeeding day warned us that we would
InnvftaolT lose him. I haorjened noon TEETH-
INA, and began at once administering it to
him, and his improvement waa marked In 24
nours, anu rrom tnai aay on ne recuperaiea. i
have constantly kent it and used It since with
my children, and have taken great pleasure in
sounding its praises to all mothers of young
children. I found it Invaluable even after the
teething period was passed.
