The prospect of the Standard Oil Company's controlling the street rail roads of Greater New York under ground, surface and elevated is not such as will cause the common or strap-holding citizen to throw up his hat with delight. It is admitted that no company could do worse than the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is doing, and it is conceivable that the Manhattan Ele- .ated is run as vilely as a great city traffic enterprise could be, from the standpoint of the unfortunate man who is dependent upon it to get form his home to his place of business and back, but there was a hope that when the subways got to running, the com petion of the surface lines might com pel the various roads to treat people as passengers and not as freight. The Standard Oil owns the Gas Com pany, and a long time ago seized the electric light in order that there should be no competition that would compel it to give better or cheaper light. The service in the matter of illumination is a measuro cf what the people can expect when the Standard Oil takes over the lucrative task of carry us from place to place, unopposed and un checked. The Rockefeller enterprises are dis tinguished for their divident-earning qualities, and not for any accommoda tion or consideration for the people who have to avail themselves of what they purvey, and there is no reason to hope that the system that has held up the price and held down the illuminat ing power of the gas is going to adopt an opposite policy when it comes to street traffic. People have to travel, and it will cost each a nickel every time he rides, whether he has a seat or dangles from a strap. It is cheaper to run one car with a hundred people aboard than two cars with fifty people on each one The circumstance that fifty people can ride with some approach to comfort on a car while one hundred have to be jammed in like sardines is a matter too trifling and extraneous for the consi deration of the tnffic corporations, present or prospective.

The department of agriculture has undertaken a series of experiments in tended to answer, if possible, the old puestion: "How long can seeds re main buried in the soil and still retain their power of germination?" In 1901 Dr Beal reported that he had found seeds which responded to germi nation tests after having been buried twenty years. The seeds buried by the agricultural department at the Arl ington farm are packed with dry clay in porous clay pots, covered with sau cers and placed at various depths from six inches to three and a half feet. There are thirty-two complete sets in 3.584 pots, representing 100 species, eighty-four general and thirty four families. Tests are to be made at the end of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50 years.

Yours. U. D. C, PAULINE J. DAVIS, Sec. Being thus assured of the good wishes and kindly interests of the IT. D. C. every member of the company will no doubt put forth strenuous ef forts to win the prize. Assistant Postmaster, E. E. Poag, has received the appointments of the civil service examination. The suc cessful applicants are: J. L. Reid, Wm. S. Chaplin and Wm. F. Clark, the latter colored, and all of Rock Hill. W. O. Blair, of Sharon, was appointed substitute. M. L,. Fowler stood a suc cessful examination and was entitled to an apointment, but he already holds a position in the post office and pre ferred to remain there. Clark has de clined to accept his appointment and it is probably that Reid will not accept. An Australian Race Controversy. The fact is that mail-carrying steam ship companies which have hitherto performed the service of carrying mails back and- forth between Great Britain and the Australian ports have been largely manned by dark-skinned British subjects, who are natives of LSndia, and the British government is under a special obligation 'not to dis criminate against these Indians in view of certain clauses in what is known as the Mutiny Act in India. TLese same ships it is to be remem bered, will carry also the Indian mails, and it would be manifestly impossible for Lord Curzon's government of India to join in mail contracts containing clauses excluding dark-skinned men from employment. If the question were up again, in view of its present aspects it is possible that the Austra lain government would not have put this color clause into its postal act. But the thing having been done, the government seems disinclined to re open the question. They are even go ing so far as to propose the establish ment of a government steamship mail service to Colombo, on the coast of Ceylon, in order to make connection there with a "white" steamship line. Let it be said that there has within a few weeks been under consideration a measure, accepted and brought for ward by the responsible government of the Australian Commonwealth, hav ing as its object the exclusion of color ed labor from foreign steamships touching at Australian ports. This bill takes the form of requiring that all vessels while in Australian waters shall pay Australian rates of wages to their employers. This is to be inter preted in the light of the fact that Australian trade-unionism has exclud ed all colored labor from the vessels engaged in the coasting trade or own ed and registered in Australian ports, and has established regular wage scales at much higher rates than the English steamship companies pay to their East Indian Employes. Negroes i:i the United States who will give some study to the facts will soon be satisfied that it most respects the col ored race is far better treated in all parts of this country than in Austra lia or South Africa.

Fraud Uoon Insurance Companys. a. remarkable fraud perpetrated up on American insurance companies nas been discovered in Rome. A profound sensation has been caused by the ar rest of Countess Ubaldini, a well known member of the Roman aristo crocy. The countess insured the life of h'fr- cister Eliza three years ago for $15,000. A year later, on the reported death of this sister, she received pay ment on the New York Mutual Insur ance Company's policy, but another company refused to pay, and now, as the result of police investigation, Eliza has ben found, closely confined in the Countess's villa, her death hav ing been simulated by a patient taken from one of the Roman hospitals. When the Countess was arrested and ron fronted with Eliza she confessed herguilt. Eliza's husband had mean while remarried. Other sensational de velopments are expected. The State commissioner of insurance of Texas has instructed Attorney Gen eral Bell, of that State, to bring suit aeainst thirty-six mutual fire inst ance companies doing business in the State for forfeiture of their respective charters and to restrain them from continuing to do business in Texas. It is alleged that these companies have not made an annual statement to the State insurance deparment. CASTORS A For Infants and Children, ffes Kind Yea Have Always Bought Bears th (Correspondence The News.) Columbia, S. C, Sept. 5. Calvin Medlin, a white man living about eight miles out cn the Camden road, was arrested yesterday as a result of a shooting scrape in which Medlin be came involved the day before with Tom Garner, another white man. It seems that Medlin has a good case of self defense. Thursday afternoon, according to witnesses, as Medlin was driving home in his wagon, Garner, ac companied by Charlotte and Beck Med lin, nieces of Calvin Medlin, overtook him in a hack about eight miles out of town. Garner was armed with a re volver and opened fire on Medlin, shooting him through the left foot, which was resting on the dashboard. Anticipating trouble from the trio, Medlin was armed and returned the fire, a bullet striking Garner in the loft breast. The two women were armed with large sticks, and it is said tha-t they had been out on a similar hunt for Medlin the week before but that they had missed him. After the shoot ing Garner and the women retreated. It is likely that when Garner recov ers from his wound he will be prose cuted for attempted assassination, with Medlin's two nieces as assessories. The Seaboard Air Line has abandon ed its freight depot and passenger sta tion in the old Sydney Park. Although the new passenger station on Gervais street has not yet been completed the freight depot will be used as the local passenger station until the new one is completed. Hereafter all freight and passenger business will be handled from the Gervais street station. Roman relics have recently been found in Paris, writes a Paris corre spondent. The distinguished French archaeologist, Chas. Magne, has made excavations in the Rue Cassini, where he had long suspected there lay re mains of old Roman glories. He dis covered the cover of a tomb on which is sculptured in bass-relief a Roman blacksmith wearing his apron. In his left hand he brandishes a long pair of pinchers and forceps. The right arm is broken off, but probably held a ham mer. Mr. .Magne judges from the style of the work and from a piece of money of the time of Nero found near the tomb that the work is of the first cen tury. Postal clerks of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico recently held a convention at Kansas City, Mo., and passed a resolution calling upon the Federal Government to compel railways to employ only steel mail cars or cars with at least steel frames, so as to reduce the hazard of their occupa tion. At present the mail car is usual ly the chief sufferer in the case of a collision. Talking about Sarsapariila Ever hear of any other than Ayer's? JLcw( Aver Co.. Lowell, Mass.

THE EYES OF SCHOOL CHILDREN,, Many parents allow their chil dren to go through sellout half equipDd for the work. Defective eyes do not show in children as plainly as in grown people. Yet defects are present then if ever. They probably never know what it is to have perfect sight; thus they know no better, since there is no soreness and inflammation. Don't wait for such signs.
