Warm Words for Williams History
of the Negro Race"

This isto y of the Negro race in
Ameri is IN epoch making book. Its
very nc Dtion indicates a change in
publi sen ,lment which is one of the
gran est and most rapidly achieved
triul ph of the spirit OF humanity. In
deed !. indicates a change not only in
public SCI timent, for there has always
been public sentiment in the United
States, weak or strong, that encouraged
the study of the history as we'll as Ia
bored for the elevation Of the Negro
race, but it indicates also great
i'm the study of American history. 1t
is singular fact that of the hundreds,
and perhaps thousands, of books which
have heretofore been written about slav
ry.and the Negroes, not one has told
so satisfactorily and cOmpreheDsively
story of their fortunes and mlsfortunes
in America. Heretofore it was contro-
versy; history pure and simple is now
for the first. time possible. But If the
conception of this work1is sigaihcant,
much more significant is its execution
An educated colored man has given up
his chances OF personal advancement
and fortune in more lucr ative profess
ion than the writing OF historical liter
ature, and devoted the best years OF his
life to the sad history Of his race In
bondage, not for controversy or re-
venge, but to "givs the world more
correct ideas of the colored people,
and to ''incite the latter ts greater ef-
fort in the struggle Of citizensh ip and
manhood" If this does not mark
new epoch in the history OF the Negro
race and in the historical literature OF
America, what event since the abolition
Of slavery does mark new epoch
Mr.. Williams was graduated at New
ton Seminary, Newton Centre, Mas s.
in 1874 and was the first colored mem :
Der of the Ohio Legislature. Very soon-
after his graduation he became inter
ested first in the general history OF
he N eyre race, and then especially in
h history of slavery in the New world 4.
HIS studies opened such new and fas-
cinating and encouraging field for in
uuiry. that he conceived cue plan
this work, and finally gave up his prac
tice of the law aud devoted himself ex
clusively to his new task. The resul

The LiIy's Lament.

New York, Special Telegram, April
22.-Mrs. Langtry begins two weeks Of
farewell performances at the Fifth Az.
enue theater tomorrow evening, an.
pearing as Galatea in Gilbert's Pygma-
lion and Galatea. In an interview to-
day Mrs. Langtry said: 81 think the
manner in which my sister-in-law, Miss
Langtry, has been spoken of by the
press, is shameful and unmanly to the
last degree. 1t is said that we ouarreled
and parted because of the attention she
received from q gentleman. 1t is false.
1t was at my suggestion that she remain-
ed at Toronto, were we Goth have friends.
For myself | will say this in conclusion.
L am twenty-eight years of age. Eight
OF those years were spent in London,
where there are more temptations a
hundred fold than there are here. Do
you suppose that after passing through
the temptations of London life / would
come to America and abandon myself to
wickedness that is charged to me. The
American press has treated my histri-
ono efforts very generously. Aside
from that, some of the papers have
spoken very unkindly of me. ] am a
woman, and deienseless. If they think
it manly or chivalrous to continue their
attacks I presume it is their privilege to
do so.

Theatrical Beauty and Sin.

From a Letter by Gath.
Osmond Tearle, another foreign actor
here, is followed by his wife, whom he
had deserted. In that profession there
is hardly such a thing as bigamy. They
neither marry mol are givenin marriage.
They merely swoon away and enter in.
Here is II theatre where the manager
is living with his partners late wife, and
of course the example is infectious.
Every member of the company feels i'm
PEELED to 90 out and get some other pro-
tessional friends wife or husband. Fine
clothes must be put up for. Arch actor
recently said to me-: sit takes a woman
OF great, strong sense to keep her chas-
tity on the stage. The poor girl depend
ing on her talent comes out with q plain
dress; the kept, the false girl,
comes, and gets a round of applause be-
fore she OPENS her mouth for the dress
'"Persevere in prostitution and you shall
Ee Il favorlte." I never think of re-
cording the lives of theatre people. I
hear of this or that well-connected girl
whose inhospitable relatives encourage
her to go on the stage. The struggle is
brief. She is tempted by acold-blooded
patron with ostentatious money to some
gilded supper room, and between aattery
and wine the fatal plunge is taken. Then
her name goes silently around, and the
wolf who SEN her soul to torment and
her bones to shame imagines he is O
known. 8lack-mail IS a later step in
after-play life. II have black-mailed

male, kicked out by her man some time
ago. Green-room men are well known.

he stopped, a though struck by an
idea which aided him in the solution of
the difficulty.
Wei, I'm blessed, this is 60" he
exclaimed. And, having thus relieved
nus feelings, he followed the couple into
the house.
Jack" said Amy, rs she entered on
Tescam's arm, "Ihave something to tell
you which concerns us both. Sit still
Ada am by no means sure it doesn't

With this preface she repeated what
she had already communicated to the
lawyer, upon whom Jack turned for as
surance. Mr.. Quoding, with his hands
thrust to the bottom of his pockets, and
his eyes examining the ceiling, backed
Amy's statement, with the internal adj

Jack sat giaring about him, stunned
by his unexpected accession to fortune.
Am | mad?" he asked, unwittingly
quoting Mr.. Quodling.
"Oh, no" replied that worthy, "you
are not mad" He bestowed a glance
on Amy as though to say, THAT way
madness lies" and turned his eyes again
to the ceiling.
Jack crossed the room to where ANY
sat, the color ola peony, and took her
hand.

hdence-you have introduced me to
your future husband. Let me make
known to you-my future wife,"
