Even the shoes of light hues have been taken under consideration. It looks like a piece of bees' wax or brown soap, and contains a little of everything, even rubber. Best of all, it isn't "messy." One simply rubs it over the soiled places until they are clean. This will also clean suede kid, though there is a new cream that is somewhat better for suede. Though both these cleaners act well on white buckskin, nothing is better than the whitewash-like preparation with which all are familiar. This, however, is a whitewash rather than a cleaner, and so, at intervals, the shoes should be washed in soapsuds. After being quickly dried the "whitewash" is applied. It is equally good for white linen shoes. The gayer the shoe the worse it looks unless it be "spick and span." He Was Very Much Alive. When visiting one of the primary schools some years ago, the day before Memorial Day, or Decoration Dav. as it wae then more generally called, I, as usual, as a member of the School Board, addressed the pupils. When closing I said: "Well, children, you have a holiday to-morrow. What day is it?" "Decoration Day!" from all In unison. "What do you do on Decoration Day?" "Decorate the sordiers' graves," said all together again. "Why do you decorate their graves any more than others?" This was a sticker, but finally one little fellow held up his hand. "Well, sir, why is it?" "Because they aTe dead and we ain't."?Boston Herald. Time Fllea. A small boy who was waiting with his mother in a twelve-story office building on Chestnut street the other day, watched with fascination an indicator which showed, by a pointing hand on a dial, where the mounting car was.

Brooklyn, recently said In a public address that the best sermon he had ever heard was preached to him by an old colored man, the former body-servant of Governor Bull, of South Carolina. Doctor Backus was a visitor to Charleston, and during a drive ab'out the city with the Confederate soldier who fired the first shot at Fort Sumter he met this aged negro. The Confederate asked him how he was getting on. "Massa," said the old man, cheerfully. "I'm Just making the best out of the worst."?Ram's Horn. TWO VIEWS.. "Yes, he used to be in the newspaper busirfess, but he's studying for the ministry now.. He says he decided that he couldn't be a reporter and save his soul." "Indeed? I believe his old city editor put it differently. He says he couldnt be a reporter to save his soul."?Philadelphia Press. Fixing Railroad Rates. Making railroad rates is like playing a game of checkers or chess. Communities to be benefited, producers, manufacturers or shippers to be aided represent the pieces used. Every possible move is studied for its effect on the general result by skilled traffic managers. A false move in the making of freight rates may mean the ruin of a city, of a great manufacturing interest, j of an agricultural community. Railroads strive to build up all these so | that each may have an equal chance in the sharp competition of business. So sensitive to this rivalry are the railroads that in order to build up businesa along their lines they frequently allow the shipper to practically dictate s'ates. Rate making has been a matter of development; of mutual concessions for mutual benefit. That Is why the railroads of the United States have voluntarily made freight rates so much lower iu this country than they are on the government-owned and operated railways of Europe and Australia that they are now the lowest transportation rates in the world. Barber Shop and Rules. rt was at .. barber shop yesterday | afternoon, on First avenue, that it happened. "Next!" shouted the barber, who had just dealt with a customer. Two persons at once sprang from the chairs where they had been waiting patiently and approached the knight of the razor each looking ferociously and inquiringly at the other. One of them was an elderly personage, evidently from the country, the other a young sprig of city breed, whose down had just begun to indicate the slow and uncertain approach of beard. "Which of you is next?" asked the barber. "I am," said the young man. "No, you are not," protested the I other, "and, as I am the oldest, I i claim first chance. Besides, I am in a great hurry." "Ah! I see you are from the country and, of course, do not understand the rules of society governing such cases as this," eaid the youth. "What is the rule?" "QimrOTT tv;<a Reantv fines before u age. So I will take the chair. See?" "Oh, well; tint's right. Mr. Bar* ber shave him first He has got the best of me by that rule of 1iis, and come to think of it he's right according to the rule where I come from." "Indeed? What is the rule where you come from, old chap?" asked the | young fellow, as he fixed himself j comfortably in the barber's chair. "Well, young man, the rule down ! my way is tnat we always keep the j pigs ahead of us."?Seattle Post Intelligencer. Matching Shades to Dodge Them. Before trying to match the sample of silk the clerk asked: "Is this a^piece of something yon ; want, or something you dont want?" "Something I want, of course," replied the customer, with asperity. 'You don't suppose' do you, that I would go to all this trouble for a thing I can't use?'' "Some folk do," said the clerk. "I've met a number of them. The first woman I ever saw with that kind of bee in her bonnet had a square inch of blue silk that she wanted me to match. The scrap of silk was so small that It was hard to make comparisons, but after hauling down half the blue bolts on the shelves and running to the door several times to test the color in broad daylight, I found the exact shade. "'How many yards do you want, madame?' I a3ked. "'Oh,' said the woman, 'I don't A An** rtiano want any. aiuiusi au> uiu^i will do. That particular shade is very unbecoming. I just wanted to make sure that I don't get it, that's all.'" The customer laughed. "What did you say?" she asked. "I'd rather not tell," said the clerk. "Anyhow, since then I have been cautious. Before matching a sample now I inquire as politely as possible into a cutomer's intentions. If it's a case of 'Don't want' I don't hurt myself matching the shade."?New York Press. POSSIBLY.

NAN LIED BRAZENLY Says Judge Who Presided at Two of Her Trials. I SCATHING ARRAIGNMENT i i Astonishing and Sensational Assertion ! Made by Judge Davis During a Dinner of Lawyers' Club In New York Citv. , - - - - 0 I ? I ! Somewhat to the astonishment of those present at the monthly dinner in New York city Monday night of the Phi Delta Phi Club, an organi- | ration of lawyers, Justice Vernon M. Davis of the supreme court of the state of New York, who was the j guest of honor, gave his opinion a3 j to the guilt of Nan Patterson, while making an argument in defense of Assistant District Attorney Rand, who had prosecuted the young woman at her three trials for the murder ol Caesar Young, j Justice Davis, who presided at the first two trials of the former chorus girl, said that she had lied from beginning to end, and it was his opinion that the majority of the community now believed that Miss Patterson held the pistol by which Young was shot/ that J. Morgan Smith : bought the weapon and gave it to her, charging her at the time with the duty of "scaring" Young. ! In the middle of the justice's remarks the reporters were asked to leave the room, but before they had reached the door they were called back by the speaker, who said that he left it to their discretion as to just what parts of his speech were to be used, i "We have heard a great deal in the public press of late of severe critij cism of Mr. Rand and his conduct of the trial," said the justice. "You ' can't prosecute a criminal without telling what you believe to be the truth. J j "In the second trial before me, the defendant went on the stand, and it . was quite obvious that she was tell ing falsehoods from beginning to end. The very air seemed charged1 with the ffact that she was lying. Yet she wao : a woman; she was young; it was natural that the public should sympathize with her. People seemed to know ? that she was not telling the truth, and ' the great public of New York said, 'Why shouldn't she lie? Let her He. | Let her get the benefit of her lies.' ! "Eut today in the light of the last j disagreement, I feel sure that most | people are convinced?that a majop! ity of the people believe?that the 1 pistol that killed Caesar Young was held by Nan Patterson; was discharged by her; was bought by J. Morgan Smith, in an attempt to get ! money from . Caesar Young for the support of the combined family. "I don't mean to say that she took the pistol from the reticule and shot I him in the side, but I do believe that I _ ... v i she had the pistol ana snowea it to j Young. An argument followed, and | he took hold of the weapon. In the | conversation and subsequent strug| gles, the pistol went off, and the man was killed. I believe, moreover, that had ahe told the story on the witness stand as it really happened? i in other words, had she told the truth , ?that the second jury would have . acquitted her." Should Be Given "Frost." Leon Berg, representative of Hurtig & Seamon, New York theatrical ; managers, said Monday that his flrra j had secured a two-year contract with . Nan Patterson for her appearance in j a few weeks in their theater and later with one of their road companies. , Mr. Berg said the contract provid, ed for a sliding scale of remuneraj tion, beginning very high and tai pering down as public curiosity lessened. Her salary, at first, according to Berg, will be about $1,800 per week, which will be for several weeks. BAPTISTS HOLD TO NAME. Proposition for Modification Falls Flat in Convention. The Southern Baptist convention, in ; session at Kansas City, Monday, de- 1 1 cided, after a lively time, not to change the name of the convention. , Judge Hillyer of Georgia, chairman of the committee appointed at the Nash- ; ville convention last year to bring the matter up, presented a report j ( against a modification of the name. [ The report was finally adopted and < the committee discharged. ! REQUISITION IS HONORED. California Governer Turns Potter Over to Georgia Authorities.

I I Colored Desperado Forces White Man 1 to Hand Over $600?Caught by Posse and Quickly Lynched. A dispatch from Cairo, 111., says: j Tom Witherspooa, a negro, was taken from officers at Belmont, Mo., 15 miles below Cairo, at 6 o'clock Friday af-1 ternoon by a mob of several hundred ' I persons and hanged in the public square to a large swing. Early Friday morning a negro, said j to be Witherspoon, who only recent-! I ly was released from the Missouri j penitentiary, went to the home of j Fred Hess, three miles below Bel- j mont, and at the point of a rifle de-! manded $600. Hess, who is a mem- , ber of the Missouri legislature, told ! the negro that he did not have that j much money in the house. The ne- j gro ordered him to go to Belmont j and get the money. He compelled | Hess to bitch up a horse and buggy j and ordered him to get in with his wife and child. The negro then saddled another horse, and, mounting it, told Hess to drive toward Belmont, and when near! the place the negro forced Mrs. Hess : and child to get out of the buggj and enter a deserted shanty. The negro then told Hess to drive to Belmont and to send the money back by a negro preacher inside an hour, or he would kill his wife and child. Hess hurried to Belmont and got the money, and sent it back by the negro preacher. The desperado immediately mounted the horse and rode up the Iron Mountain railroad tracks. A posse was organized at once by Belmont and Columbus citizens and a small party followed the negro on ] a switch engine, and discovered that he took refuge in the swamps around First Lake. He was captured ano taken to Belmont by the officers. A mob of several hundred persons had formed in Belmont, and they immediately took charge of the negro, ano, I despite his begging and pleadings,! they rushed him into the public square j ana swung mm up. BLACK MEN ARE DROPPED. Colored Strike Breakers at Chicago Give Way to White Men. A Chicago special says: Some employers laid off union teamsters Friday en account of a lack of business. More than the usual number of teams, about 1,800, it was said, made deliver ies during the day, guarded by 2,100 policemen and about the same number of deputy sheriffs. A large number of the negro strike breakers have been dropped and their places taken by white men. The health authorities have decided to vaccinate all the negro teamsters brought from the south as a precaution, as there are 100 patients in the city smallpox hospital. Thev employers are said to be making up a "black list." The strikers are to be given until next week to return to work. After that they will be unable to get employment as teamsters from a boycotted firm. It is said that 2,400 of the 4,300 vacancies I caused by the strike have already been filled. The scholars at another school have struck on account of the delivery of coal by non-union men. MAYOR IN ROLE OF ADVISOR. Woodward Requests Manufacturers tc Cut Out References to Unions. Mayor James G. Woodward, "the labor union mayor of Atlanta," has written an address of welcome pub lished on the front page of the American Industries, the official organ of the National Association of Manufacturers. Though heartily welcoming the manufacturers to Atlanta, he urges that the association cut out all proceedings which are likely -to cause a bone of contention between the union men and their employers. D. M. Parry of Indianapolis, a big carriage maker, who is president of the association, is outspoken in his defense of "open shops,v and the article of Mayor Woodward will create something of a surprise.

NOTORIOUS CASE CLOSED District Attorney Jerome at New York Decides to Drop Prosecution of Alleged Slayer of Bookmaker Caesar Young. After more than eleven months in prison and three mistrials on the charge of murdering "Caesar" Young, Nan Patterson walked from the Tombs prison at New York Friday a free woman. As she left the great building which has been her home since ' a few days after Young was found dying in a cab in lower New- York, 2,000 people greeted her with cheers, I for the news that District Attorney | Jerome would move for her dismissal i from custody had spread throughout the vicinity of the court house. The move to discharge Nan Patterson came rather unexpectedly to /> M the public. It was an hour or two -;5 before noon when District Attorney ~ Jerome appeared before Recorder J Golf in special sessions and announced that he desired to move the discharge ^ of the former chorus girl without bail and on her own recognizance. Not the least interesting of the v.; day's events and perhaps the greatest dramatic climax to the troubles - }? of the former Florodora girl was the reunion in freedom with her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, and her bro- V ther-in-law, J. Morgan Smith, both of whom were discharged by Justice ' y* Cowing in the court of general sessions, after being held on charges of conspiracy in connection with the Pat- " terson case. Smith was also held for j | contempt of court in failing to obey k [ a subpoena as a witness at the first X - ^ trial. He was fined $250 and released :M on this charge. Then came the surprise, for Nan Patterson herself paid ^ | the fine out of a check which had. been given her by a friendly news- ,05 paper. District Attorney Jerome announced his decision to free Nan Patterson in a speech in the course of which Se ^ declared that during the last trial he had information that members of the Jury had agreed that J. Morgan r ^jfi Smith had bought the revolver and > that Nan Patterson carried it in the ' )k cab and that Young did not commit . ;< suicide. . He took occasion to refute pub lished reports as to'the cost of the ; trial, stating tnat tne wnoie expense a was not more than $8,000. Following ^ this line he declared that the new?papers had made "gross misrepresen- - 4^ tations," and then said: i "This case has caused one more step in this country toward trial by newspaper rather than trial by Jury. ':M I do not refer to those papers which have merely reported the proceedings, [ but to those that in their editorial rooms have labored to arouse sympathy for the prisoner with the result : v'j8 of a serious miscarriage of justice. Everything that the prosecution ha? [ done had my cordial and hearty approbation. I fear nothing for myself or my assistants. My assistant did " J rightly, bravely, honestly and went ^ forward with my entire and perfect approbation." ' j He concluded with the motion that Nan Patterson be discharged on her own recognisance, j When she came into court Nan wa? ; ^ smiling gayly, but as Recorder Gaff began to address her the tears came la into her eyes and before he concluded || she was weeping. The recorder spoke *.;< | with a kindly note in his voice that seemed to affect her very much. He , - ill closed by saying: "Let me-c ; treat you in all your fu- i ture life to remember the terrible experience through which you have just passed'and to permit every action of your life hereafter to be guided by that experience. I feel sure that you will do so; that you will remember your ordeal." DECISION IN FAVOR OF MORRIS* | Georgia Supreme Court Settles Cobb County Treasureship Case. The supreme court of Georgia Wed- ' $ nesday morning handed down a decision in the Cobb county treasures hip case, in which the decision of Judge ' ? J. H. Lumpkin is affirmed, and Judge J. T.
