Sun Baths Better Than Shade Trees,

"There is such thing as having
too much of a good thing" remark
ed a Cass avenue man to a friend.
'Ilike trees, but l don't like to live
in the woods. Every glimpse l get
of the heavens or the earth from my
windows in summer is caught on the
fly, as it were, between the branches
of trees"
"Why don't you cut them DOWN."
inquired his friend.
II would cheerfully, if they were
my own, but unfortunately my land
lord owns them and compels me to
live in their shade. There are hun
dreds OF houses in Detroit that never
have CLINT of sunshine from May
to November, and the people in them
are as bilious as East Indians. The
average Detroiter is afraid to trim
his trees so that they shall present a
respectable appearance, and you can
walk up any ofthe avenues and count
hundreds OF lopsided, awkward look
ing trees that have run all to branch
es. The result is damp houses, ma
laria and typhoid fever"
~ haven't any trees" said the
friend. eff I had 1 would go home
and burn them, after such picture
as that"
st is the truth. We live too much
in the shade. Sun baths are better
than shade trees of forest growth. 1t
is well enough to shade the streets,
but not the houses. Facts are facts,

Race Riots in the SOuth.

Recently O train with colored cxcursionists
arrived at the Gouldsboro depot in Gretna
from Baton Rouge, La. A large number OF
people were on the streets, owing to an
alarm of fire. Many colored men and women
were near the depot awaiting the train. AS
the train neared the depot one of the excur-
sionists, in attempting to jump off, fell to
the ground. Some unknown person cried
"Look at the black devil!'' whereupon the
four or five shots, one of the
bullets piercing the nose ofa white man nam
ed Miller brother of one of the Gretna po-
lice, lodging in the back OF the neck. Shoot
ing now began general, some 400 or 500
shots being fired in less than fifteen minutes.
terrible panic prevailed. Men women and
children ran in all directions, screaming wi tn
their lunch baskets, hats, and losing their
shoes, etc. Ed. Levy (colored) of Algiers
was shot in the left arm, and a coIored wo-
man named Fleming was fatally shot in the
back.
The stories of the row and it's origin
differ very widely. The negroes
say that before the arrival of the
train there was large force of armed white
men awaiting it's arrival. and that some ten
minutes after the train had stopped and
after q portion of the excursionists had
reached the street cars. and while others
we're still on board the train, white men,
without any sort of provocation, opened fire
on the crowd. The white mems version of
the affair as given by eye witnesses differs
very materially from that of the negroes.
They state that there were only some half
dozen white men concerned in the affair, and
that the shooting was commenced by the
negroes before the train had stopped.
News is also received of small race war
near Shell Mound, Miss. A telegram from
Greenwood says: Our2 sheriff received infor-
nation from Sunnyside, fifteen miles above
Shell Mound, that there were five hundred
negroes masssd in the johnson field near
there, and help was needed. He wired
the governor the situation and asked for
troops, which was responded to promptly
by Gov. Lowry in person, bringing with him
five companies of militia. Gov. Lowry has
two companies to Sunnyside to report to the
sheriff, who went up there to see if he could
do anything with the negroes. The steam.
boat running between here and Sharkey has
just come in, bringing number of women
and children. Gov. Lowry cautions the peo
pie to be free from all violence and not VIC
late the law in any particular. but assist the
county authorities to enforce it. There have
been several reports from the scene of the
trouble one of which was that the negroes
had left the vicinity of Sunnyside, breaking
up in small bands of twenty or thirty and
seemed to be sulky and mad.
