to treat hlim Arrangements
were made to place bifn in a local

NO COWARDICE INVOLVED.
North Has Been Careless About Miscegenation.
Some days ago, when the scandalous
"marriage" of Pugilist Jack
Johnson to a young white girl in
Chicago was imminent, the following
editorial paragraph appeared in
the Union: "We have a hunch that
Plug-Ugly Jack Johnson would be a
bit less bumptious and considerably
less insolent about his attentions to
that silly young white girl if the
scene of the drama were laid somewhere
in Dixie. The helpless and
heart-broken mother of the girl
would have effectual champions
there, and the black bruiser would
have ceased long ere now to cause
her trouble." Promptly and vigorously
the Chattanooga Times replied:
"You are right, eminently
??* vnii m?v euro that
t'UI i cut, auu J VU UIUJ wv uut V VUMV
Johnson will give Dixie-land a wide
berth. And if you people to the
north of us had the courage of your
convinctions some foreign resort
would speedily become the only safe
spot where this brutal rake and moral
derelict could find safe asylum.
You think like Dixie about it, but
you are so all-fired cowardly that
you are afraid to act." r
The Times is a valued unit in the
Union's exchange list, as the public
in Tennessee and in New Hampshire
is more or less generally aware; but
there appears to have been in some
quarters in Tennessee a determination
that the Times's answer should
not be overlooked at this end of the
line, for several clippings of both
paragraphs have arrived from unknown
(but not anonymous) friends
in Tennessee, one of them coming
from a prominent attorney in Oakdale^
who writes that it "will, doubt'flff
ho intorocHnc r/soHino'" tn thp

editor of the Union. It certainly is,
but not more so than a letter, accompanied
by the clipping, received
from a resident of Chattanooga, who
signs himself J. W. Blair. Mr. Blair
handles the Johnson affair without
gloves, and perhaps dib not intend
the whole of his letter for publication.
There can, however, be no
harm in quoting him in part. He
says: "Why have you people in the
North not courage and manhood to
pass laws forbidding such things?
a thing which God Himself does not
give countenance to? Why do you
people approve of miscegenation
such as this case? What is the consequence
of it? A mongrel race of
white people."
The Union has no hesitancy in
suggesting to the Times and Mr.
Blair and all others whom it may
concern that, whatever the circumstantial
evidence, they wrong the

assuming that lack of moral courage
is responsible for the absence
of legal provision against the marriage
of white persons with blacks
in many of the Northern States. Time
?and no very long time, either?
will probably vindicate this suggestion.
As to the Times's charge of
cowardice, it is manifestly absurd
save in so far as negligence and culpable
carelessness involve cowardice.
This problem, which presented itself
in the South generations ago and afforded
Dixie due warning to fortify
herself with suitable laws, has only
within very recent years become a
real one in the North. A few object
lessons like this Johnson affair will
impress upon the Northern States
the danger which should be already
too apparent. The Union, which
yields to no one, North or South, in
its indignation and disgust at the
Johnson mess and all others of the
In'tiH nrntoctc ne^ninst unfair
charge of cowardice preferred
against the people of the North in
this instance. At the same time, it
is plainly up to the Northern States
to remove all possible occasion for
its repetition bv passing prohibitory
laws against the practice which provoked
such a charge.?Manchester

Modern Harmless Rullets.
From this country there have gone
to Bulgaria, to Montenegro and to
Servia 50 surgeons who are in
charge of about 2,000 beds.
One of them, Doctor Fedlicka,
states that he has had an opportunity
of observing 670 cases of severe
wounds in Servian soldiers and ex
pressed his surprise at the rapidity
of healing and aseptic conditions of
even the most dangerous injuries.
Men shot through the body by bullets
which penetrated the liver, the
lung, the spleen and the intestines,
recovered after a fortnight or so
without much evidence of ultimate
harm.
The modern bullet is rendered
aceptic by the enormous heat of the
burning powder and it hardly ever
shatters long bones, so that there
were very few amputations?only
two in 500 cases?and only 20 instances

Romance of a Circus at St. Louis,

A romance of the circus sideshow
reached its climax in St. Louis Saturday
when Jack C. W. Barnett, of
Roxboro, N. C., 21 years old, 38
inches high and weighing 34 pounds,
got a license to marry Miss Dorothy
David Warfield, 19 years old, about
five feet eight inches in height, and
weighing 136 pounds.
Mrs. H. L. Morris, seven feet four

to sign the application for a license

Since Barnett was 16 years old he

Fight Knife Duel as Crowd Looks On.
Berlin, Ga., Dec. 16.?With a small
room for an arena, and friends of
the two men as spectators, Otis Hart
and a man named McCullom, fought
a duel with knives Saturday night,
until both men, bleeding from scores
of gashes, fell exhausted on the crimson
floor.
Hart was rushed to his father's
home, where physicians reached him
after a record automobile run. He
is in a serious condition. His nose
was slashed from his face and there
were no less than three dozen cuts
about his face.
Hart declared that McCullom had
used a large knife on him. McCullom
was carried to his home, but his
condition is not considered as serious
as that of Hart.
The knife battle followed a drinking
carnival, which was participated
in by a half dozen citizens of the
town. Hart and McCullom were
among the crowd who received several
quarts of whiskey Saturday.
They went to the house of a neighbor
with several other men and started
to drink the liquor.
Late during the evening Hart and
McCullom got into an argument and
had a fist fight, which was stopped
by others in the crowd.
A short time before midnight the
men again had words and this time
in place of going at each other with
fists, they both drew knives and a
niarft was cleared in the room to al
low them to fight.
They slashed at each other for
some tithe and finally both were so
exhausted from the loss of blood that
they were unable to continue the battle.
A 5lere Slap.
A young lawyer in a Southern
town was sitting irt hia office one
day when an old negfO who had belonged
to the lawyer's father came in
and hailed him.
"Mistah Campbell,' he said, "Ise

The Srtange Experiences of Twins in E:

A case which has puzzled the doctors

of twins in that city. Emil and Ste- lo

teen years ago, were apparently
strong and healthy children. They di

seventh year, when they began to ti<
lose their strength. At eight they er
entered school; but after six months in
their legs had weakened to a degree ri(
that they were placed in a sanitari- sc
um for expert treatment. All efforts
to check the progress of their to
disease failed, and for nearly nine m
years they had the use only of their Ai
heads and forearms. Sc
Their minds did not appear to be
affected at all and their cheerfulness
and gayety was not impaired. They L(
quarreled frequently and bumped st
each other with their heads, quickly ai
making friends again, however. ai
The last few months, under a new w
treatment, they seemed to be making P]
some improvement, but ten days ago
Emil was seriously sick from the s*
day Stephen went to bed with it also, di
Emil was seroiusly sick from the e3
first, and last Thursday he died. Stephen's
case was a mild one and he
appeared to be recovering, but as the
carriages were stopping at the door s?
for his brother's funeral he suddenly ei
became violently ill and within a few ^
minutes was dead. 01
The brothers were so much alike
that one of them always wore a rib- is
bon so that the members of the fam- pi
ily could distinguish them apart.

A Trip in Turkey Before the War.
( b;
After plowing through the muddy ^
streets of Konia, where the black q1
slush aften reaches the fetlocks of
ci<
the horses, we came out into the gardens
and vineyards that surround the
city on every side, and which have ^
long made it famous as the garden
spot of Asia Minor. For some ten
miles our road was across a plain as
level as a house floor. We jogged
along at the rate of come three miles
an hour, the usual rate of travel by ^
araba, and after something more g
than three hours began to ascend a h
rough hillside until we had reached
a height of nearly a mile above the
sea, fully a thousand feet above the ^
city of Konia. Here a magnificent
view greets the eye. Kara Dagh,
the Black Mountain, is the most con- b
spicuous feature of the landscape. ti
On its sides are the ruins of "a thousand
and one Churches," according to
tradition, though an actual count
would make the number far less, and s
some would be found to be ilot
churches at all, but- ancient buildings
of a secular character. To the
north of this city of Konia, with its ^
stately minarets and its beautiful ^

tpected Discoveries Will Lengthen ]
Alloteian Says I>r. Loeb.
Dr. M. L. Loeb, a scientist who
making experiments in the Rocke- ]
ller institute said yesterday he ]
ilieves human life 6oon will be pro- ]
nged from 10 to 25 years beyond i
e present normal spah. <
In a few years said the doctor i
scoveries probably will be made
bich will bear an important rela- j
3n to the human life. The discov- j
ies he said will result in prolong- j
tr oviotonoo hovnnH thp normal ne
od given in the Bible as "three .
ore years and ten." ,
Dr. Loeb explained that to pro- ;
?ng life the tissues of the body ,
ust be prevented from decaying,
s long as the tissues are kept in (
>od order, life will not leave the
)dy except by violence.
Continuing his explanation Dr.
Deb said the heart, lungs, and
omach are the three most importit
organs of the body. When they
'e treated wisely the other organs
ill take care of themselves. To
revent tissues from decaying, the
aysician said, the heart, lungs, and
omach must be kept in good conition.
That can be done by good
cercise, clean living and proper
?od. I
Most of the food eaten by human
2ings, is not sufficiently nourishing

A. man who works as a Wall sttreet
roker, a clerk or stenographer,
mnot expect to live to a healthful
Id age.
"All of us know death is caused
y other than this, we can find the
eart ceases to beat because of some
ther cause. It may be the stom;h

and sections of the body deend
on the heart for life. A long
fe, depends wholly on the heart,
le lungs, and the stomach and not
a a fore-ordained length of life.
"It should be remembered that
le heart, lungs, and stomach are
le most important organs in theuman
body. But the stomach is
rst. If it is treated properly, the
eart and lungs will take care of
lemselves.
"To get the heart, stomach and
ings in proper shape it is necesiry
to take physical exercise, and
ood nourishment also is required, y
that I do not mean a great quanty
of meat and such things.
"That food of the future man or
oman who wants t<? live to an age

Dr. Loeb was asked what he
lought of Dr. AlOXis Carrel's view

leory correct and is sure human be:gs

Did Rnbinstein Keep His Word?

THE PARCELS POST.
How it Compares in Charges with the
Express Companies.
For 40 years the American peo- ^
pie have demanded a parcel post.
Forty-three foreign countries already
have a parcel post and there
is no record of any foreign country
?ver having discontinued such a service
after having started it.
The first zone is quadrangular
but not square in shape, since it is
bounded on east and west by meridian's
of longitude, which of course,
converse as they go north and diverge
as they go south. All other
zones are roughly circular in shape.
Zone two includes all units of area
outside zone one which lies either
wholly or in part within a circle'
drawn from the center of a given >
unit or area, the circle to have a
radius of 150 miles.
The third zone includes all the
territory outside of zone two, within
the radius of a circle of 300
miles, and with the same proviso
that all units or area through
which its boundary circle passes are
a part or mat zone. me iounn
zone has a radius of 600 miles, the
fifth zone a radius of 1,000 miles,
the sixth zone a radius of 1,400
miles, the seventh zone a radius of
1,800 miles, and the eighth zone includes
all units or area outside of
zone seven.
The matter of units of area and
of zones' is somewhat complicated.
But it seems much more complicated
than it really is. The reasons for
establishing such a system are clears
ly set forth by Senator Bourne, in
his report on the postoffice appro-,
priation bill. There are some 60,000
post offices in the'United States
with a map ten feet long, and ten
feet wide an effort to designate the
postoffices on such a map would be
like printing the Lord's prayer on
the head of a pin.
If the shipper has no rate book
and map of his own, he will ask
at the postoffice, what the rate is.

to be sent?in this case, Virginia?
find the postoffice, Alexandria, after
which name will be a number
indicating the quadrangle or utait
or area in which Alexandria is located,
The number on blf chart will
readily indicate in which zone Alexandria
is in relation to New York.
As Alexandria is within three
hundred miles of New York it would
come in the third zone. The rate
for the third zone is seven cents
for the first pound, and five cents
for each additional pound or frac-<
ti'on of a pound. So a four-pound
five ounce pajrcel will require 27
cents postage to be carried from
New York to Alexandria, which sum
the citizen will aflix in parcel post
stamps and his parcel will be delivered
within due course, . *
It costs now 64 cents to send foul4
pounds of books either across the
city or across the continent. Under
the parcel post law it will cost eight
cents to send the same package
across the city and 48 cents to send
it across the continent, / ..
As it is at present, if a housewifd
in Oranee N. .T._ wants to order five
pounds of coffee from a New York
house, the express company will
charge her 20 cents to deliver it,
while the parcel post service will
ask her but 17 cents. If her package
is li pounds lil wdight, the
press rate is the same as the parcel
pO*t rate, 35 cents, but in San FraiiciscO
she would find parcel post a
little cheaper then express on 11
pounds from New York?$1.32 as .
against $1.65.
On her five-pound tea package
would gain a slight advantage over
the previous price, paying 60 cents
to the government as against 80 to
the express company.
On long hauls and small weights
there is no possible semblance of
competition. On short hauls and
heavy weights?heavy meaning at
or near the parcel post limit of 11
pounds?there is little advantage of
the parcel post over express in point
of price paid. On long hauls, with
heavy weights there is a distinct
though not an enormous saving by
parcel post over express.
Fbr parcels up to and including
four ounces in weight, the old rate
is preserved. And when it comes to
local and rural free delivery hauls,
the one-pound rate of five cents
simply shuts out all possible competition.?Railroad
