of Houston, was in Galveston this morn-
ing.
The Southern Negrowcongress will close
its convention here today. This evening
the local colored people will give a ban-
quet to the visitors at the convention hall.
An invitation has been received to hold
the next annual session of the congress at
Memphis, Tenn., and it is probable that
this will be accepted.
Several interesting papers were read dur-
ing the congress.

aggregation of ship owners became dis-
satisfied with its management and estab-
lished a rival publication which they called
the Red Book. For more than a quarter
of a century these publications flourished
until in 11834 they were united in “Lloyd's
Register of Shipping.”-

establishment, through the consolidation
of the Green and Red Books, strikingly

a good class there will obtain the cheap-

mercial world as one of the most capable
of those men who deal with shipping. He

Occasionally these cast-off clothing dealers
do the business quite genteelly, not only

in a cab when the business call is made.
But what do these cast-off clothing mer-

question the sartorial organ replies: “Well,
some few are sold by the dealers, others
they export, and others they sell to other
dealers, who dispose of them in such
haunts as Petticoat lane, and so on. In
most of the jumble or rummage sales now

DON’T WORRY.
This is easier said than done, yet it may
be of some help to consider the matter.
If the cause is something over which you
have no control it is obvious that worry-
ing will not help the matter in the least.
On the other hand, if within your control
you have only to act. When you have a
cold and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
and use it judiciously and all cause for
worry as to the outcome will quickly dis-
appear. There is no danger of pneumonia

Lloyd’s register, which has nothing to
do with the famous association of under-
writers at the Royal Exchange, also com-
monly known as Lloyd’s, has a new es-
tablishment on Fenchurch street, in the
English metropolis, which is in every way
worthy of a great concern. Two interior
views of this palatial building are here-
with presented.
It was at the old Lloyd’s coffee house
that shipping lists were first prepared,
■originally by hand, but afterward in print-
ed form. In 1770 the brokers and under-
writers interested in the preparation of
these lists removed from the coffee house,
first to Pope’s alley and afterward to the
Royal Exchange, but always retaining the
name of “Lloyd’s.” They purchased a reg-
ister of shipping which

short, jerky, consumptive coughs as the

Above these two distinct sounds was
the general buzz and roar of ponderous
machinery, and afar off the lapping and
slashing of waves beside the hull.
A long leather-covered bench stretched
across the room in front of the glistening
and throbbing engines, and upon this,
lying at full length, was Macdonald, the
chief engineer, reading a newspaper and
smoking a pipe that was blackened with
almost continual use. I stepped in over
the iron threshold and sat down, pushing
aside Macdonald’s feet as I did so.

They Have Never Been Accorded Their
Proper Distinction.
London Chronicle.
A fruit that has never yet come proper-
ly into its own is the banana.. Such, at
least, is the opinion of vegetarians, not a
few of whom justify the faith that is in
them by living altogether on banana pro-
ducts, and even less heroic martyrs are
beginning to think that the banana will
prove the most persuasive weapon of con-
versation in the vegetarian armory. Al-
ready there has appeared in the Midlands
an enthusiast just fresh from South
America, with an unheard-of collection of
banana recipes; and if all goes well with
the jiropaganda, we may expect to be tak-
ing, wilhin a few years, for breakfast,
plain bananas, banana pancakes, banana
muffins and banana coffee; for luncheon,
banana fritters, banana bread, banana
biscuits and banana cake; and for dinner,
banana wafers, banana figs and a small
cup of banana coffee.
Not only is the banana the best food
product of the earth, but its fiber is said
to have a great future before it in the
manufacture of cordage, boot laces and

ing can be obtained from it.”
article of diet it is a whole larder in it-
self. Marmalade can be made of it, also
“a pleasant drink, something after the
style of cider,” while in Chicago, there is
already a bakery which turns out noth-
ing but banana bread. It is as a substi-
tute for wheaten bread that it is to win
fame. Already the admirers are agreed
that the banana is twenty-five times as
nutritive as the ordinary loaf and forty-
four times as nutritive as the potato;
while a plot of ground that ‘would give
33 pounds of wheat or 99 pounds of pota-
toes would, so far as space is concerned,
give 4900 pounds of bananas, and with a
fractional amount of the same trouble.”
Unhappily, we can not grow bananas in
these northern isles. <
Apropos of bananas, there is a costers’
club in a quiet street off Edgy are road
which was formerly devoted to innocent
recreation. But the spirit of utilitarian-
ism has prevailed over the desire for
social enjoyment, and the premises have
now become a forcing horse for West
Indian bananas. The bananas are con-
signed direct to the club, thus saving the
middle man’s profits, and every room is
filled with great bunches of the fruit,
ripening under gentle heat for the public
palate. The members of the club can se-
lect their own bunches and pay for them
as they sell them, so that an Initial capi-
tal is not required. On a good day, with
a cartload of these bananas, a coster can
clear a net profit of—but perhaps it will
be more discreet to keep the tfgures dark.
The coster’s, like all other callings, al-
ready suffers from overcrowding.
At a meeting of the board of school

rolls nothing was done at the meeting

He come into thia iron-pit as if
he v.as the captain himself, ard I sized
him up and made up my mind that if I
did na’ take him down a peg he’d bother
me too much. So when the bell up there
began to ring, I told him to start her.
O’ course, he being <a cub, he didna’ start
her slow, but he opened the main-feed
full -and then ye should ha’ seen the cir-
cus. There were sZOO rounds on them
boilers if there was' one, and the steam
come zipping and booming through the
pipes all in a bunch. She struck the cut-
off an’ buckled a minute and then, the
engine being in full gear and on center,
the crank come down like a streak of
lightning and flew back as quick,
about two seconds^ ttose engines were
racing so that the whole boat shook.
Cap'n he rang to stopband then he cussed
sc hard that the solder on the speaking
tubes melted. Bu^that cub learned to
start engines easy after that.”
“And why, Macdtifiald, do I remind you
of the cub?” |
“I dinna ken,” he^replied, "unless it bo
that you re both damned fresh.”
I immediately arose and replaced his
feet on the settee. ^But even this did not
satisfy him.
“You’re like a Du tollman who tried to
run this boat once,” he said. “The
Dutchman, his name was Hans, got a
hurry-up reverse call once, and without
shutting off he threw’ his gear over
Naturally one set of retaining hooks
dropped down, and Hans noticed this and
put ’em back again. It cost him just 45
days' pay to straighten cat that engine
again.”
“And why, in the name of Neptune and
his dolphins, do I remind you of Hans?”
I asked.
Macdonald removed his pipe from his
mouth and carefully knocked the glowing
embers of the wreed upon the floor. “Who
the de’il,” he said, sitting up, “asked you
to put my feet back on the settee?”
I sat down. Macdonald pointed to the
shears, great pieces of steel which con-
tinually closed on each other, and said:
“You see those shears? Well, one day
last trip the old man brought a lady
down here to ‘see the ship.' Well, she
saw ’em, and she wanted tc know what
they were. I, wishing to instruct the child
to think for herself? asked her what she
thought they looked like. She watched
’era; saw ’em open and shut, saw’ the oiler
grease ’em and nearly get his hand cut
off ,and yet she could na’ think what_they
looked like. At last she got it, and she
turned ’round all smiles and says: ‘Oh.
I know, Mr. Macdonald, they look like
slippers! I was just going to laugh, when
Cap'n speaks up and says: ‘Yes, miss,
and those upright bars look like legs,
don’t they?’ I did na’ say a word; but
tell me, do those things look like slippers
and legs to you?”
After a few’ moments silence, Mac-
donald lesumed: “That’s just like a
woman; they're all stone blind. One of
’em came in here once in a white dress
and sat down on that compartment wheel
over there. Now this is a clean engine
room, but it’s not a parlor. "When she
got up she had a pretty wheel of. grease
cn her skirt. But women are not the
only blind people--tlook at yourself. You
came in here and,,put my feet on tho
floor so you could sJE on this hard lounge,
when there was Mi armchair just the
ether side of me!”3'1 /

Macdonald regarded) me in silence for a
short while; then ^|pjegan to grin,
quired as to the cau^e, of his mirth.
“You sitting in that chair and taking
life easy,” said he, Reminds me of a little
incident that happ^fie^ when I was in the
service. There were a crowd of us en-
gineers shipped dotvn jo Malta to relieve
the Mediterranean men, and I had orders
to go to the Radslggno I reported' to her
captain, and he sent me to Quinn, the
man I was relieving. I found him sitting
in a comfortable chair, watching the en-
gine. I showed my papers and asked
about the engines. ’Were they tender,' I
asked T don’t know,’ says he, “ask my
second.’ ‘Did she steam free, or did she
prime?’ I asked. Quinn looked surprised,
and I repeated it. '

I got for reply was:

de’il are you?’
ployed in operating a ship, moreover, is
already being reduced by the introduction
of machinery and mechanical appliances,
and it may be expected that the inventive
faculty which has wrought such wonder-
ful economies in our mills and workshops
w’ill bring about a similar saving in the
cost of ocean transportation.
These considerations provide
and. a very striking illustration of the
value of a highly developed industrialism
as the basis of military strength. In the
extension of commerce, efficient navies are
the surest guarantees of protection and
unobstructed growth. If it ever came to
a trial between the United States and any
other power as to which should have the
greater navy, It would seem to be clear,
from the foregoing presentation of our un-
equaled resources for building vessels of
the best type, that in the long run we
must win.
Dalas, Tex., July 4.—The Prohibition
state convention met at IC o’clock with
less than 100 present.
Corsicana is chairman
of Dallas secretary,
were made and committees appointed.
It is expected the convention will nomi-
nate a state ticket, this afternoon.
political sovereignty is about the only
point which could raise obstacles to the
negotiations, but it is expected this point
will be avoided, as the act of congress
appears to contemplate the transfer of
jurisdiction and not the transfer of polit-
ical sovereignty. Colombian officials in
Washington look forward to a successful
consummation of the negotiations. They
say, however, that there is far less popu-
lar demand in Colombia for the Panama
canal than there is in Nicaragua for that
route, and this apathy may delay the
conclusion of the negotiations, as the
treaty will have to be ratified by the Unit-
ed States senate and the Colombian con-
gress before it,becomes effective.
‘I’m an engineer in her majesty’s serv-
ice, but my second does all the dirty
work.’ Our fleet was full of such men,”
concluded Macdonald, with a grunt.
I mentioned the fact that my brain did
not comprehend the resemblance between
myself and Quinn.
Macdonald got up. “Ye both want to
use the engine room as a parror,” he said,
“if you want to spin a yarn wme on
deck.”
It is to be presumed that they are only
awaiting the time when a sufficient de-
mand shall have been created by the re-
moval of the conditions unfavorable to the
investment of American capital in the car-
rying trade. The element of higher wages
for labor in the building and operating of
ships .will probably have less and less
weight as a deterrent to such investment
as the fact becomes more widely recog-
nized that highly paid skilled labor, with
■the aid of machinery, produces
cheaply than the so-called pauper labor of
other lands. The number of men em-

own government, but for foreign pow-
ers, would seem to indicate that our su-
periority as an economical producer of
steel, combined with the mechanical in-
genuity and efficiency they have shown,
should enable our shipwrights to build
better and cheaper vessels for the mer-
chant service than can be produced else-
where.

A German economist, Prof. Von Halle;
who recently visited our larger shipbulding
plants, gives them high praise as being in
advance of those of Europe in modern
technique and “the most perfect apparatus
and tools,” enabling them to turn out
“the very best quality of work,” and
threatening a serious- competition
the German yards. The splendid war ves-
sels they have constructed not only for
Washington, July 4.—Negotiations for a
treaty between the United States and Co-
lombia, which will acquire the right to
build the Panama canal, will begin in
about one week, Minister Concha of Co-
lombia having conferred with Secretary
Hay on the preliminaries of the negotia-
tions. (Secretary Hay will be out of the
city for the next few days, and on his
return negotiations will begin. Minister
Concha has been fully clothed with au-
thority to proceed with the treaty,
main features of the treaty were pretty
well settled in a protocol signed some time
ago, which was quite full in setting forth
’the prospective arrangement in
gress acted favorably on the
route. The amount to be paid Colombia
for relinquishment qf exclusive rights to
the United States will be $7,000,000 in gold,
payable in exchange on ratifications of
of the treaty, and in addition Colombia is
to receive an annuity at the end of 14
years, to be determined by mutual agree-
ment at that time. This annuity is ex-
pected to be $600,000 a year, as the imme-
diate payment of $7,000,000, covering a
period of fourteen years, is considered a
basis for fixing the annual rental at $600,-
000. In transferring the rights of Colom-
bia to the United States the language used
by the act of congress will be followed
to a considerable extent, and there will
foe a transfer of such jurisdiction over a
six-mile zone as will permit the exercise
American authority and American
