BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
Received as a Dinner Guest and His
Recommendations Have Weight
with President Roosevelt.
Washington. October 17. Last
evening Bookei T. Washington was
the gnest of President Roosevelt at
dinner and spent considerable time
with him afterward. It is the first
time iu the history of the nation
that a negro has be'eu entertained
as a guest at the White House.
Colored men have been received
at reception and state affairs for
many years, but President Roose
velt is the first to give a private
dinner invitation to a nagro, Dip
lomaticaUy and at nil stute func?
lions uo distinction is drawn ao to
racfcs. Booker Ti Washitigjon was
the president's privatogueat, aa
much so as though he wereldiuing
with him at his home in N ejv York
before his election to thtr vibe .pres
idency. '
it is said to have been largely at
Prof. Washington's suggestion that
ex Governor Jones of Alabama was
appointed a ju lge on the Federal
bt'iich in tlat State. It is under
stood that Prof. Washington will
make a number of recommenda
tions for appointments in the South,
but just what the' are can not be
learned yet. He seems to be very
iiiflufc.itial with the administration.

Sub treasury Package Robbed.
New York, Oct. 15. W. H.
Berendall, collector of customs at
Buffalo, N. Y.. has been in this
city recently in consulation with
the snbtreasury of this city aud
Secrt Service officers over the theft
of $5200 from au express package
containing $7000 consigned from
Buffalo to the snbtreasury here.
The original package was filled
with $7000 in bills of the same
denomination as were in it when it
left Buffalo. Certain pinholes had
been made iu the covering at Buf
falo, aud when the package was
again filled the pinholes, which
had peuetrated two portions of the
covering, were found to fit exactly.
The package was carefully traced,
and it was shown that it has not
been tampered with from the time
it was receipted for by the express
company vtfitn it was aeiiveren at
the sub-treasury. It was also prov
ed that it had been receipted for in
good order at the sub-treasury and,
that the seals were unbroken. Af
ter expert examination the secret
service men are inclined to think
the package was tampered with af
ter it reached the snb-treasury and
bad been receipted for.

One of Wellington's Officers
On good authority soldiers like
best to be officered by gentlemen,
but they have their choice of the
type. Of the right kind was Gen
eral Crawford, the leader of the
Light Division.
An incident in his career during
one of the Wellington wars shows
him to have been rich iu that jus
tice which commands respect from
equals and loyalty from 'iuteriorsj
in a wori. be kept discipline itbj
ont reganl to rank.
His division was crossing a ford
, .
on oue or the Spanish marches, and
, . . .
an officer, to -keep his breeches,
V i, t i-
dry, rode, through on a soldier s
back. Crawford observed the thing
with disgust, and iu a minute was
splashing through the wather after
thenn both.
"Put him down, sir!" he shout-
ed. "Put him down! I desire '
you to put that officer down instant-
ly!" .
The soldies dropped his burden
and went on.
"Retnrn back, sir," Crawford I
said to the omcfai'j "and go through
the water like the others. I will
not allow ray officers to ride upon
the men's backs through the rivers ;
all must take their share alike
here." Youth's Companion.
Bread.
"I asked you for bread," ex
claimed the mendicant bitterly,
and yon give me hygienic bread !"
My conscience smote me at this.
"Poor fellow," said I, "I'll see'
if I can't find you a stone !"
Never, to my dying day, shall I'1
forget the look of gratitude he
gave me.

Kaffir Corn.
Corpus Christi Eagle.
B. E. Shipp brought The Eagle
offit?e this week a quantity of fine
sorghum aud Kaffir corn, of which
he has abpnt seven acres. He
says that Kaffir corn will stand the
drouth betterjthan any other cereaj,
aud makes most excellent .food for
horses, cows and fowls of all kinds.
He states that it is poor economy
for our farmers aud other citizens
to pay exhorbitant prices for corn,
wheu Kaffir can be so easily raised,
and-is really better suited as feed,
thau is regular corn. Interested
parties can call at this office and

We have very grave donbts
whether any laws we have will
prove of auy value in breaking up
these great semi-monopolies or in
checking their formation. If they
were compelled to pay a franchise

j value, if that were greater) of their
