Negroes as Congressman.

Atlanta OOrsututiou'
IL may be said OF all the negroes who
have vet been sent 10 Congress that they
have deported themselves while in public
life remarkably well. Not one OF them
was ever mixed up In Congressional
scandal, though they were thickest when
the lobby was bold,st and Congress most
corrupt. They have uniformly been
decent in their conduct, and regular in
their attention to public duty. Only one
or two OF them have been of that class OF
professional negroes of which Fred Doug
iass Is the type, and several of them have
been among the most advanced leaders
Of their race in the direction Of intelligent
industry and good citizenship. G C1nsider,
ing their circumstances, the natural
prejudice against them, and their .oppor'
tunitjes to iit themselves for public life
they have done remarkably well, and
have merited the respect and kind regard
which they have genel ally received a
the hands OF their white colleagues II
Congress.

Chased by "A N addeped rYnmp

WILLIAhsPoRT, Dec. 29-It has lust
been learned that tramp attempted to
XII william Smith, watchman at the
rolling mill at South Bethlehem. During
the cold weather large numbers OF
tramps have been sleeping In the mills,
and they have csused much trouble by
their taucy assumption OF the right.
On Monday night tramp was sleeping
on top OF furnance In which Smith
wished to build fire. Smith repeatedly
called to the tramp to get up.. but, re
ceivlng no answer, touched him with a
shovel, This maddened the tramp, and
springipg to his feet, he rushed at Smith
and struck him with the butt OF o revol-
yer. Smith beat hasty retreat into the
fre.room.
The iRfuriated tramp, revolver In hand i,
followed him. He ran around the build
Ing, and coming TO the fire-room, peersd
through at Smith rs II determined to
finish the job. At the time of the at
tempted assault there were thirty or forty
workmen in the mill, none of whom were
anxious TO go TO Smiths assistance, ow-
Ing to fear of the tramp's revolver.
The other tramps joined their comrade
and the gang started of. As the last
man was disappearing Smith and his fel-
iow-workmen were startled by two re-
volver shots In quick s1ccession, both
bullets passing near Smiths head.

when the Earth VIII Stop Revolving
OOoper's Journal

When the Earth VII Stop Revolving.
Ooopers Journal
A problem which is attracting to its
study astronomers relates to the earth as
time-keeper. We measure time by
dividing either the period during which
the earth revolves around the sun or that
in which 1t turns on its axis. By the
lrst method we measure Q year, by the
second . day. The earth, according to
some astronomers, Is losing time.
Through two causes, the suns attraction
and the friction, 80 to speak, Of the tides,
the earth each year revolyes more slowly
on its axis. The speculative ques ton
which these astronomers are discussing
is whether in the end the earth will stop
its revolution upon its axis and will pre-
eent always the same face to the sun.
When that event occurs there will be
perpetual day in one part OF the earrn
and perpetual night In another. But
there il no occasion for immediate alarm
The rate at which the earth Is supposed
to lose time only shortens the year by
half a second in century. There are
more than 81 200, 900 seconds in year
Therefore, If the earth ever does cease &c
revolve on It's axis 1t will be more thar
6 900, ,0Oo, 600 years before 1t will stop.
