Unique Exhibit by State of Pennsyl-
vania at Jamestown Exposition.
Fleeting centuries are as but a day
in the all absorbing corner of the Bdu-
cation building at the Jamestown ex-
position. wherein is displayed the mag-
nificent exhibit of the Commercial mu-
seum of Philadelphia, under the aus-
pices of the. Pennsylvania state commis-
sion. There one may in imagination
barter with the Phoenicians of B00
years before Christ In the commercial
exchange of pearls, gold dust, tin, ala-
baster, malachite, figs, dates, almonds,
fine linen, myrrh, sandalwood, dragon
blood. olive and palm ofl and slaves,
samples of each of these and many
other articles of Phoenician commerce
being on exhibition In this section,
the slaves being represented by minia-
ture figures, and it is noticeable that
their color was not always black.
Thus the commerce of the passing
centuries passes in review, and to the
limited articles of trade of the Phoeni-
clans are added in the early centuries of
| the Christian era such things as silk,
hog bristles, cork, lemons and oranges,
tea, rice, beads, etc. There the Romans
appear as the bright and shining stars
! in the commercial world, the Phoenl-
clans and Egyptians having given way
to the sway of the Caesars. With the
Romans came such articles of com-
merce as salt. wrought iron, brass,
sheepskin, ivory, camels’ hair, raisins,
pongee silk, aloes, oak galls, honey,
figs, splkenard and dates.
The exhibit of articles representing
the trade of nations, interesting In the
extreme though it Is, would not be
complete without the accompanying
exhibit, showing by photographic rep-
resentation and model the various
methods or means of transportation of
commerce past and present. Upon the
walls of the section allotted to this
exhibit are hung representations of the
handcarts of Japan, the laden ponies
of Asin Minor, the yak wagons of
Tibet, the ox carts of India, the
| dromedaries of Siam, the camels of
| Egypt, the dogs and reindeer of Alas
ka and Siberia, the llamas of the An-
| des, elephants of Calcutta and scores
of other equally interesting and unique
| representations of commercial ways
| and means. Then there are reproduc
tions of fast flying freight trains of
different nations and models of watet
craft used In commerce from ancien
to modern times.
These models are in themselves
worthy of hours of study. There are
Venetian galleys, Arabian dhows, the
drakers of the Norsemen, Egyptiar
punts, Carthaginian galleys, Malay
proas, Bolivian balsas, Japanese junks
Phoenician galleys, Babylonian ses
horses, Egyptian triremes, Spanish gal
| leons and caravels, Italian nef, Dutclt
galleots, Polynesian sea camels, New
Caledonia prahu and American clip
pers. The exhibit is one of compari
son and contrast, a grand lesson in the
study of commerce and commercia
relations, the whole giving a vivid im
pression of the mutual interdependence
of nations of the present day.
THE U. OF P. EXHIBIT.
Pennsylvania's Great College Wel
Represented at Jamestown.
Guarded by two bronze "wrestlers
and artistically decorated with the col
lege colors, the exhibit of the Univer
sity of Peunsylvania in the Educatior
bullding at the Jamestown expositior
is one of the most complete in the di
vision.
The exhibit occupies one entire cor
ner of the building. Along one side
are heavy bookcases containing specl
men volumes from the university i
brary.
On top of the cases are Rumer
ous busts and bronze figures, many of
priceless value, while on the wal
above is a very fine collection of maps
charts and pictures illustrative of the
work of the institution.
High up on the wall on a little shel
is 8 massive bust of Benjamin Frank
lin, founder of the university. On on¢
of the bookcases there are two bronze
figures modeled after statues found ix
the ruins of Herculaneum, which was
destroyed by Vesuvius.
What has proved of great Interest
is a model of the first college buildings,
plain and crude, constructed in the
early days of the institution. In con.
trast with these buildings are shown
pictures of the magnificent equipment
of the present day, which is equal to
that of any like university In the
country.
UE KILLED A POLICEMAN
Cumberland, Md., Oct. 7~The first
lynching in the history of Cumber-
land, which occurred Sunday morning,
has been the topic of discussion, though
scarcely of condemnation.
The shooting of Policeman August
Baker, on Thursday night, by William
Burns, a negro desperado, while the
latter was arrest, created a
great deal of excitement, owing to the
excellent reputation of the officer and
his well known kindly disposition. His
death on Saturday morning was fol-
lowed’ by threats against the negro,
these coming as much from those of
his own race as from the whites.
Few, however, thought a lynching pos-
sible, and the police paid no attention
to the rumors that were afloat. Only
Deputy Sheriff Adam Hendley was at
the jail when a crowd of less than a
bundred men, a few of whom were
disguised in one way or another, ap-
peared and demanded the keys. These
being refused, a telegraph pole was
used as a battering ram and entrance
to the building was forced. Other ne-
groes, in neighboring cells, were care-
ful to guide the lynchers to that of
Burns’, and here again the battering
ram was used. The lynchers found
their victim crouching behind his cot,
‘ and, seizing him by the feet, dragged
him up and down stairs and into the
of Judge A. Hunter Boyd and the
lice. Judge Boyd called the crowd to
undertaking stablishment, and 10,000
persons are estimated to have viewed
it.

Georgia and her Hypoorisy.
Undoubtedly one of the most miserable
shams in the history of State legi<lation
has recently been accomplished by Geor-
gia.
Great stress hae heen laid upou the face
and is is clothed with importance, since it
tends to show the emotioual signs of the |
timex that Georgia bas jumped from local
option to Prohibition. Now by law lignor | *
cannot be made, or sold, or given away,
and even the drug stores are prohibited
from supplying to the sick or the dying
any stimulant with she exception of pure
aleobol. If a physician finds that cham-
pagne, now go frequently used in the sick
195 and in hospitals, or brandy is ueces-
y the law demands that the patient
shall die rather than liquor presoription
«hall be filled at the drug store.
The crafty politicians who are riding into
powerand graft on the top wave of this
prohibition sentiment in the South in their
zeal even struck at the religion of onr Lord
and Saviour, since the law forbids the ad-
ministration of wive in churches in con-
nection with the holy sacrament.
Bat bow came Georgia to enact such a
sweeping interdict? There is always one
side to a story and this one has two. To
pass prohibi it had to be based upon
race prejudice. Liquor was too good for
the ‘‘nigger’’ and bis foster r, the
‘poor white trash.’’ Stop it, and ‘nigger’
crime against womanhood will cease was
the Arjuitions, and it caught the minds of
emotional thoughtless men or women.
Bat Prohibition could not be passed in
Georgia either on moral or temperance
grounds which bas been claimed. It was
only passed upon the the promise to rob
the ‘‘nigger’’ of his right to vote. It pass-

ere ey — ay deal and
a bargain that was manipulated and ae-
complished by the politioiune both within
and without she church.
Now mark again the subsequent action of
this same Georgia Legislature. Within a
week following its hysterical adoption of
probibiven by a vote entirely unanimous
t passed a olub aot taxing every social
olab which d lignors to its mem-
hers three handred dollars.
And she politicians now smile while the
deceived clergyman and bis church mem-
ber who were used in the dram to rob the
negro of his vote are measuring the breadth
aud the depth of their bonco. But the
hotels do not smile, nor does the farmer
who all his life has been making his own
addition of a drop of honey.
Upon the ey of Sy. 1908, the bar
of every hotel moet be closed—even the
rooms as to liquors, the drug stores save as
so aleobol.
But around the corner, or at the next
croms-road will be the club. Home life
vexs year will not be known to Georgia,
in so far as the men are cancerned, and it
will soon reach she club lite of the wom-
an.
How easy to form a club. Rent a room,
charge each member filsy cents for his key.
He takes in his friends, pays for the
drinks, and afterwards divides the ex
This is not gentlemanly, but it ie the pace
set by hypoerisy.
Every PoE member of the Legislature
voted for the $300.00 club tax hill; every
‘dry’ member did likewise. Why? Be-
cause they thought the negroes could not
form olnbe and pay a tax of $300.00. But
we aball see!
In Georgia since 1865 they bave advane-
ed more than the white race, hence the
jealousy, the persecution, a State’s bypoe-
orisy.
“Pack” recently published a fine car-
toon on its front It was the fat man
of Georgia, raised on hie liquor, drinking
to the lean man from Maine. Georgia was
imbibing from a bottle marked ‘‘Lemon
Phosphate,’’—the man from Maine, tall,
lean and lank, was imbibing from a bottle
marked “Cold "Tea.” And thus hypocrisy,
throogh the laws assailing persoral liberty,
extends from Maine to Seorvia.
