NEGRO BURGLAR SCORCHED.
Tried to Enter Store Through Chimney
and Was Caught.
Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 6.?Dave
Crawford, a young negro, twenty
years of age, has possibly seen his
T oc+ niorVit rlnrincr +V>p
lfldt SUHllllCi jjooi iiigiib v.*
"weesma' hours," Dave had a desire
to vest himself with property that
belonged to another without the
knowledge or Consent of the owner,
M. S. Russell, a country merchant,
living five miles south of this place.
Some time during the night Dave
went to the house, a small country
store, with a stack chimney (store
room in front and bedroom in the
rear), pulled off his shoes and went !
on top of the house to make an en- j
trance by going down the chimney, j
Everything in readiness, he got on;
top of the chimney and began his
descent. But his anatomy was too
large lor tne opening, uunacyucnuj
he got wedged about half way down
and there he had to remain until this
morning, when Mr. Russell went to
make a fire. When the fire began to
burn, Dave began to "tell the news"
and let 'em know of his uncomfortable
condition.
It took some time to locate him,
and by the time that Mr. Russell
could get assistance, tear down the
chimney and liberate Dave, he was a
well roasted negro, from head to
foot, although his clothing was not
burned or even scorched. A fire had
been in the chimney all day, but at
the time he attempted to enter, it
had all died down, but the bricks
were uncomfortably warm.
Dave evidently intended to' have
goods or blood, for when found this
morning wedged in the chimney he
had in his hand a 44-caliber pistol.
He is now behind the bars with the
county physician attending his burns,
while he is silently lamenting what
might have been.
An Appalling Record.
Rev. Louis J. Bristow writes as fol
lows in the Baptist Courier:
The frequency ofx homicides in
South Carolina is simply appalling".
During the seven days ending with
last Saturday there were reported in
the daily papers fourteen homicides
that were committed in the state
during the week, and nine other
cases of assault with deadly weapons,
shooting, etc. During the nine weeks
preceding last Saturday there were
: v. fifty-four homicides committed in
this state and reported in the daily
papers. Since July 1 last, when we
began to keep a careful record of re:
ported killings in South Carolina,
there have been ninety-five homicides
reported.
It has been a common remark concerning
homicides in South Carolina
ohat the larger number of them were
ordinary "nigger killings." In the
ninety-nine cases which have occurred
since the first of July this has
not been true. Of the dead men,
fifty-one were white and forty-four
were negroes; of the slayers, by a
singular coincidence, the figures are
just reversed, fifty-one negroes and
forty-four whites having killed men.
Men and brethren of South Carolina,
something should be done to
check this fearful record of man-slaying.
In South Carolina alone the
number of homicides annually is
greater than the number which occur
in the British Isles! The appalling
frequency of man-killing in this state
is a disgrace to our civilization and a
tn nnr relicion. The judges
of our courts are ready to pronounce
sentence upon convicted murderers,
s but it rests upon the juries to convict
accused men. We address ourselves
to the masses of our people, from
among whom come the men who constitute
our juries; see to it that the
law against murder is enforced. Be
not moved to a hair's breadth from
your duty by the maudlin appeal for
sympathy which is so frequently
made in behalf of men whose hands
are crimson with the blood of their
fellows.

A NOVEL RACE.
Michigan Women Enter a Baby Raising
Contest.
Detroit, Mich., October 31.?
What woman's club in Michigan will
win the proud distinction of mothering
fho mnst. babies in the next year?
Ui^ Vi?y - ^
This is the great question that was
discussed last night at the meeting of
the State federation of women's
clubs, at Flint. And this is how it all
came about:
At the meeting last evening the
secretary, in her official report,
awarded to the Portland literary club
at Flint the towering honor of the
champion birth record of the state.
Sixty-four women compose the club,
and in the last year eight became
' mothers.
The presidents of half a dozen clubs
challenged the Portland club to enter
a baby raising contest for the
next year. It was accepted instantly.
The members of the Portland club
say that within a year's time they
will come to the fore not with eight
babies, but a dozen or more. The
others of tftis great pennant race
say they will surpass even a record of
twelve.
In Belgium girls are expected to
give five weeks out of each school
year to learning housework. The girl
is required to know not only how to
cook a dinner, but to clean up and
care for a kitchen, do marketing,
wash and iron.

PARADISEJR ALIENS
San Francisco to Have Finest of
Immigrant Stations.
WILL BE A COMPLETE VILLAGE
Surrounded by Walks and Roacs,
Angel island Station Will Have Its
Own Lighting and Power Plants,
Hospitals, Stores and Hotels.
San Francisco bay is to have the
finest immigration station in the world,
writes Louis J. Stellmann in the San
p-nn/ifonft r'ViTvmi^io Tn another vear
r laiiLiow vuu ? ^
Angel island, now almost uninhabited,
will be a very lively place. Upon it
will be erected a model village, which,
if present plans are carried out will
be the cleanest best arranged and
in all respects the finest and healthiest
immigration station ever established
even by Uncle Sam, whose hospitality
to aliens is famous. Indeed, the newcomers
from foreign shores will probably
think they have struck paradise
when they emerge from the steerage
quarters of an oo an liner and land at
the summer resort which the immigration
bureau has provided for them.
Here is how it all came about:
Some vears ago congress passed a reso
lution asking Secretary Victor Metcalf
to investigate the growing immigration
demands of the Pacific coast and
report thereon. Metcalf did a thorough
job of it?so thorough that he
made congress see the needs of San
Francisco through the eyes of her own
people. Congress was so impressed
that it immediately appropriated $200,000
as a starter for the work and accepted
the bid and plans of Walter J.
Mathews, a California architect.
Mathews took a trip east and visited
the big Ellis island station, secured
data and Information from headquarters
and returned to draft a set of
plans and specifications which Commissioner
General of Immigration Sargent
indorsed as the best and most
complete he had ever seen. Accordingly
work was begun without delay and
Is now well under way. The big dock,
where vessels of the greatest draft
may tie up without difficulty, has been
completed, and the task of grading is
now being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The Angel island station will be a
complete village, surrounded by walks
and roads for every purpose, having
its own lighting and power stations,
waterworks, hospitals, stores and hotels,
so to speak, and will be constructed
with the strictest regard for j
sanitation that is possible. It will
have fk capacity for handling from
2,000 to 2,500 immigrants and sleeping
and feeding accommodations for 1,000.
The principal building will be the administration
building, close to the wa-1
ter front This is designed for the receiving
and discharging of immigrants.
It contains separate dining
rooms for Europeans, Chinese and
Japanese, for employees, visitors and
officers, a baggage room, offices of the
custom inspector, board of Inquiry,
Chinese inspector, commissioner of
immigration, etc., as well as Chinese
and Japanese detention departments.
Immigrants are first received and
taken to an examination room, divided
into compartments separated by iron
railings. The Chinese and Japanese
are separated from the Europeans, and
the women of the latter class are also
received In a separate compartment
Here, under a skylight, the first test
for trachoma, the dreaaea Asiatic vy*
disease, Is made, and If suspicions are
aroused which render further examination
necessary the applicants for
admission thus classified are passed on
to the physicians' quarters, where,
from a waiting room, they pass to a
private examination room equipped
with every late appliance for the examination
of patients.
If found to be diseased?unless the
disease be contagious?the applicant Is i
placed in the hospital and detained to
,a wait developments. If at the end of j
a certain time It is found that he cannot
pass the physical requirements for
admission to the country, he is deported.
If suffering from a contagious
disease, he is of course deported at
once unless his life would be endangered
by such action.
If the applicant passes the first test,
he goes into another room, divided Into
compartments according to his manifest,
which gives his mental, moral
and financial qualifications. Here he
is subjected to a further examination
and If passed goes to the baggage
iw/-km whom hp rpppivps his property
and proceeds on his way rejoicing to
the realms of Uncle Sam.
If not passed, he Is transferred, If an
Asiatic, to the oriental quarters, some
distance away, until his case has been
decided. If a European, he goes to the
Caucasian quarters on the second floor
of the administration building. Here
the sexes are again separated and the
detained immigrants confined until permitted
to leave by the authorities. The
same method is followed in the case
of Asiatica after they have been transferred
to the quarters allotted to them.
The Europeans sleep in a dormitory
on the second floor of the main building
and will have excellent accommodations,
including baths, lavatories and
showers, a roof garden for daily exercises
and most of the conveniences of
a first class hotel. On the same floor
of the administration building are also
sleeping quarters for visitors to the
station, quarters for resident physicians
and the commissioner of immigration.
These are in a wing entirely
separated from the immigrant quarters.
On this floor are also a dormitory
for the employees with all modern
conveniences, the board of inquiry
rooms for the examination of European
.Immigrants, baths, lockers for both
...
3* * *>>_
sexes among the employees, etc. A
feature of this building Is that the
Asiatic and European business Is segregated
in different wings. All immigrants
are received and discharged
without interfering with each other in
any possible way, and the handling of
two classes Is thus very greatly expedited.
The administration building, which
has a frontage of 200 feet and a total
depth of 300 feet, is practically a hotel
in all its appointments, with kitchens,
servants' quarters, storerooms and
other departments of the great inodtrn
hostelry.
The oriental quarters are situated on
a hill not far away and connected with
the main building by a covered bridge
which crosses the principal roadway,
giving immigrants confined therein access
to the oriental dining room in the
administration building without entering
the grounds. The oriental building
is a two story structure.' One story
b devoted to the Japanese, which are
divided as to sex, and the other floor
fc given up to Chinese immigrants in
the same way. Both floors have large
dormitories for men and women, each
with separate baths, sitting rooms, etc.
The perfect scheme of sanitation in
vogue at the administration building
also prevails in the oriental quarters,
which get lots of sunshine and a splendid
marine view on account of its
higher position on the island. Open
air exercise is also permitted the orientals
upon a sheltered promenade,
where the refreshing breezes of the
Pacific will make walking delightful.
The hospital is a two story building,
detached, some 250 feet from the other
buildings and located on the high
ground. It is particularly arranged
for the admission of sunlight and will
be as complete in every way as the
most modern hospital In the world.
The first floor will contain the offices
of the hospital managers, the private
dining room, officers' dining room, k
storeroom, disinfecting room, contagions
ward and sleeping room for employees.
On the second floor will be
a ward for Chinese men,'for Japanese
mon nnd for Chinese and Japanese
women, the latter divided by a partition,
separating the nationalities,
who will be attended according to
their particular needs, an Interpreter
j being In each ward.
There will also be a ward for Europeans
In a wing of the building separate
and distinct from that containing
the oriental wards. Here separate
wards for the two sexes are provided
also, each having its own bathrooms,
toilets and other conveniences of the
latest kind. On the second floor of
the hospital, besides the wards for
Europeans and Asiatics, are located
the operating room and physicians' and
nurseu' room. The operating room will
be one of the most up to date and best
equipped in America, with especial appointments
and apparatus for the
treatment of diseases usually found
among Immigrants.
The power house will contain two
powerful boilers and an engine room
fitted with two condensing engines of
the most recent type, having a total
horsepower of about 150. A high power
dynamo will also be Installed here
to light the hundreds of lncandescents
that are to illuminate the station.
There wltf be many street lights, and
each room in all the various buildings
of the model village will have Its full
complement of electroliers.
There will be a laundry completely
fitted up with modern appliances,
where all the washing of the station
will be expeditiously handled. The
power house and laundry will be of
concrete, while the other buildings are
to be of frame construction with concrete
foundations. The big wharf will
be brilliantly lighted at night and will
contain a lighthouse and fog bell to
warn mariners of treacherous rocks
and shoals. The administration building'is
to be heated by steam, while a
hot water heating system will be Installed
In the hospital.
The water problem, which threatened
to present a serious difficulty
when first considered, has been solved
by Mathews. There will be two reservoirs.
one containing fresh water
brought in by barges and also secured
from a spring which Is now being
developed, the other containing salt
water pumped from the bay. The
salt water will be used for bathing
purposes in tne Asiatic quarters auu
the fresh water for cooking and drinking
purposes.
The task of building the model immigrant
station has presented many difficulties,
chiefly on account of the irregular
formation of the Island and
the necessity of bringing everything
In by boat However, these are being
overcome, and It Is probable that another
year will see the station completed.
Landscape gardeners are already
engaged * in laying out the
grounds, which will be as artistically
beautiful as they can be made and
will present a very pleasing sight to
passing vessels. Probably half a hundred
or so will constitute the resident
force of employees, and a regular ferry
service will probably be established
when congress passes the necessary
appropriation, as It has promised to
do at the next session.
Big Potato Yield.
This is potato year ror toe rarmers
of Lancaster county, Pa. In the number
of tubers raised and In the yield
per acre the present season will establish
a new record. Yields of from 250
to 300 bushels to the acre have been
recorded in previous seasons, but this
year the farmers have reached the 500
figure, and in one Instance a yield of
I 600 bushels to the acre is reported, says
i the Philadelphia Record. This crop
| was raised by Ludwig T. Custer of
j Adamstown. The potatoes were of the I
Early Rose variety. As evidence of
the yield of potatoes this summer two
potatoes planted by Samuel Fastnacht j
of Mount Joy grew a crop of half a j
bushel.
