BAPTIST HOME MISSION WORK
Delegates from the south Picture the
Condition of the Negro.

SARATOGA, May 2S.-At the close of
this mornings session of the Baptist Mis-
sion society DIR. +. Nj. Ellis, of Baltimore,
lately of Boston, and DR.. Mcdonald, of
Atlanta, were received as delegates from
the Southern Baptist Convention. They
made stirring speeches favoring the clos
est fraternizatiOn of North and South in
blessing the continent. This afternoon
addresses on work among the colored peo-
pie of the South were made by DIR.
Mitchell, President of Roger Williams
University, at Nashville; DIR. w. j. SIM
mons, Of Kentucky, and Rev. Mr.. Gilbert,
of South Carolina. In these addresses it
was asserted that social ostracism OF
white teachers sent South 10 colored
schools was more talked OF here than
practiced there; that no color line ap-
peared at the New Orleans Exposition;
that the exhibits of negro inventors and
artisans were cordially received and fair
ly shown, and that they constituted a
creditable display.
THE MEXICAN MISSION.
A report on the Mexican Mission was
prepared by Samuel Colgate, of New Jer-
sey, and read by Secretary Cooper. In
the report 1t was stated that the force Of
workers has been increased in Mexico
with encouraging results. Last month
the first Baptist meeting house in Mexico,
erected at Monterey, was dedicated.
The report on the Western Mission by
DR.. Ellis, of Maryland, said that in pio-
neer work meeting houses are prime
necessity. it would have cost the gov
ernment $5,000,000 and many lives to kill
the 5000 Indians who have been converted
and made good citizens at an expense of
$4,000. Mormonism is an obstacle and a
menace.
MORMONISM'S STRENGTH.
Rev. Richard Hartley gave personal
"reminiscences of his residence among the
Mormons. Mormonism was strong in a
kind of devotion of the mass of adherents
who have the spirit of martyrs. The
MormOns feared the missionaries more
than they did the government.
Resolutions were adopted discouraging
retrenohment.
In the evening a large audience
thrOnged the church to hear addresses by
Dr.. II. G. Dewitt, of Salt Lake City, on
"Mormonism," DR.. o. G. Pope, Of Texas,
on 'MexicO," and DR.. r. 5. Macarthus, OF
New York, on "Christian Benefcence."
There are more than 1000 names on the
register

His Endorsement of IA COpiah County

Killing to Cost Him His Place.
w WASHINGTON, May 2S.--POstmaster
General Villas to-day requested the re-
signation of j. l.. Meade, who was re-
Gently appointed Postmaster at Hazel
hurst, Copiah county, Mississippi. The
resignation of Mr.. Meade was called for
on the ground that ''the interests of the
public service required it, but the eX-
planation Of the action of the Postmaster
General is that since the appointment of
Mr.. Meade it has come to the knowledge
OF Mr.. Villas that Mr.. Meade presided
over a meeting which was held at Hazel
hurst just after the November elections
in 1883, and subsequently to the killing of
Mr.. Matthews, the Republican Postmaster,
by a man named Wheeler on election day,
at which persons participating took sides
by resolution with Wheeler and served a
notice on the friends of Matthews that
they intended to stand by Wheeler in case
they sought revenge for the killing of
Matthews. The appointment of Mr..
Meade was recommended by Congress-
man Barksdale, who represents the dis
trict in which COpiah county is situated,
and this recommendation was backed up
with numerous letters and strong petl-
ton signed by the residents of the county
Upon these the appointment was made,
and the Postmaster General says
that it was made without
knowledge of Mr.. Meade's
having participated in the proceedings of
the meeting referred to above. When the
facts of his participation in that meeting
became known 10 the department his
resignation was requested. 1t is under
stood that this is in conformity with the
determination of the administration not
to allow itself to become involved in any
OF the political quarrels which have oc-
CURED in the South.

Intelligence of the Blind.

The German Bible for the blind costs
twenty-five dollars, and consists of no
fewer than sixty-four volumes. This is
owing to the fact that the letters have
to be very large, that they are in haut-
relief, and can therefore be printed on
one side only, and that the paper must
be very thick. Some of the blind can
read five or six hours without being ia
tigued. They use both hands in read
ing, the right forefinger being used
chiefly to separate the words and sylla-
bles. while the left forefinger recognizes
the word by itself. The use of both
hands thus enables the blind, after some
practice, to read quite as fast as per-
son who can see. They can also write,
cipher. play chess and checkers, mu-
steal instruments, etc. In Hamburg
there lives a blind man who can find
alone any street in the oity or suburbs.
Heavoids collisions by means of the i'm
pressions which an approaching person
makes on his nerves of touch in the

day he made an expedition on an I'M

ton of having asked his way of horse.
On the ice, blind skaters seldom collide,
being guided by their acute sense of
hearing.-N Y. Post.

so inconceivably minute are these
particles that if the musk is weighed at
