Southern Negro ssspers,isiOns.

Women in the north have trouble
enough over the servant girl ques-
ton, but their ways are paths of
pleasantness compared with those of
southern women-eXcept that the
southern women is less disturbed
over the more serious situation.
When Virginia women wants to
change girls she is compelled to go
at least three days without any girl
at all The help is black, of course,
and superstitious. No colored girl
Will go into house until three days
after the retiring help has vanished,
for fear of being "tricked"-in other
words, hoodooed, placed under a
spell-by the dismissed help.
Whatever the colored person
dosen't understand he fears. He is
full Of superstitions, believes in good
luck from the rabbit foot when in his
own possession and in bad luck
when it is "put on him." Not long
ago large number Of negroes were
on Virginia railroad platform
waiting for train to take them to
picnic ground. A Boston drum
mcr, with face as serious as a
parsons took a piece of chalk and a
rabbit foot and in the most business
like way began to make crosses on
the backs of the negroes and touched
them with the rabbit foot. The
crowd broke for the woods in panic
and there was no picnic that day.

Strange Ev1demcc im Court.

In San Francisco court recently
couple who had lived as man and
wife were making bitter charges
against each other, on account Of #
recent quarrel. The man demanded
that the children be taken away from
their mother, as she was not rearing
them properly. What followed is
thus patheticaily told by the
Chronicle:
Finally the mother said, in answer
to some charge made by Chrisman
"Don't believe him judge. | have
raised my children as they should
be-"
This was all Recorder Prince
wanted, and he said: "I'll test it,
madam, and turning to the younger
girl, little tot not more than 3
years old, he said: "Can you say
your prayer ?"
Then ensued q most touching
scene. The little girl without a
word, climbed from her chair, knelt
on the floor of the court 1ocm, with
the policemen, spectators, judge and
her father and mother around her,
and folding her tiny hand and lift
ing her eyes to heaven, she made
the grandest defence of mothers
work possible. Slowly, but distinct
ly, and without o tremor in her
voice, the innocent little darling,
born with the stain of shame upon
her and discarded by her father,
lisped in childish accents the Lords
Prayer.
As she proceeded, utterly obliv-
ious to her surroundings, she utter
ed that prayer which many in the
room had not heard for years, strong
men bowed their heads and sobbed
aloud Finishing her prayer she
added "God bless papa and mann
ma and Uncle Duliss, Amen," and
arose from her knees.
The case was settled and had,
William Chrisman sworn thousand
oaths that his wife was bad he
would have been disbelieved.

ANOTHER FRAUD.
Selling wings to Negroes For Use Oh
Judgment bay.

Liberty county, Ga, is greatly
excited over the proceedings of a
man calling himself Dupont Bell,
who claims TO be the New Messiah.
He has succeeded in working the
negroes of that section up to such a
point that the white people are afraid
of serious trouble. The negroes
kneel before him and struggle with
each other for the privilege of kiss
ing his feet. He has told them that
the Judgment Day will be here
August 16. On the eagerly-looked
for 18th every white man will be
turned black and every black man
will become white. His schemes for
raising money are varied and recu-
liar. The last effort of his genius
was to declare that he had sent to
august Father for q consignment Of
wings which the negroes will need
on and after the 10th of August.
There was corner on wings when
requisition reached heaven, and the
Almighty was only able to send him
$50 pairs. These he claimed would
be delivered on the Judgment Day,
and in the meantime he would sell
them at S5 pair. Every pair has
been bought and paid for, and now
the lucky ones are practicing the fy-
ING motion.

This Years Election.

The elections that are to be held
this year in q few Of the States will
not prove very exciting in the coun-
try. We quote from the Philadel-
North -Americun: In Pennsylva-
MIA q State Treasurer will be chosen,
and Speaker Boyer is the favorite
for the position. Ohio elects q
Legislature, that will choose n United
States Senator, and Governor will
also be selected by the people.
Foraker Will probably prove suc-
cessful in the contest for Governor,
and q successor to United States
Senator Payne will develop the
strength of the Republicans who de-
sire to act rs allies with Sherman.
New Jersey has contest for Gov
nor in the fall, and the issUe will be
made on the partisan laws enacted
by the last Legislature, including
the repeal of the local option law.
A strong fight will be made in Nir-
oinia to obtain control Of the State.
The small plurality of votes for
Cleveland last fall encourages the
Republicans to combine their varl-
Gus elements. New York elects q
Legislature, and the fight will be
very bitter to obtain control of the
State Senate. Iowa, Kentucky,
Massachusetts and Maryland will
also hold elections.

Speaking of politics in the State
Collector Cooper said: 81 do not
think that the Republican party OF
the State ever was in better condi-
ton than it is now. The talk about
discord is largely imaginary. Both
Senators Cameron and Quay are
,exerting themselves in behalf OF
harmony, and | do not anticipate
any party disturbance this year or
next. The prohibition question has
been disposed of as a measure be-
fore the people, and think without
effect upon either party. The ques-
ton was left to the people and was
disposed of without the use of party
machinery.

From the Shsmokin Herald:

turn journey until late and night
overlook them ON the road. While
crossing Shamokin mountain, the
horse SHED, went Off the road, and
with vehicle and contents plunged
down the mountain side, which is
very steep. The carriage struck a
tree and stopped throwing the oc-
cupants out and tumbling the horse
over. 1t was so dark that not even
the outlines Of the wreck could be
made out. Mr.. Funston found him
self lying across the horses head
uninjured. Neither Mrs. Funston
nor the daughter were seriously in

the horse was taken from the har-
ness and led back to the road
Here match was struck and huge
black snake was found dead, while
another snake was seen gliding away.
1t is supposed that the reptiles
frightened the horse and caused him
to go over the bank. At the time
Of the accident Mr.. Funston was
holding his child on his lap, and
could not, as a consequence, manage
the horse.
The little daughter was placed on
the horses back and the parents
walked to Reeds Station, nearly
two miles distant, through thick
darkness. At Reed a carriage was
procured and the journey from
thence to Shamokin was made with
out accident or incident.

Robert d. Layton, of Pittsburg.
has been appointed an immigrant in
spector under the provisions of the
alien contract labor law. He is APP
pointed rs the representative of the
labor interests Of this country. 1t
is to be hoped that Mr.. Layton has
acuteness and shrewdness, and that
he will be able to break up the
pauper labor traffic in this country.
1t is the greatest curse to the Amer
lean labor to-day. II cuts his wages
compels him to enter into competi-
tion with the cheapest and meanest
paupers of the slums of Europe. 1t
degrades the American laborer by
him work by the side of the poor
house shipments from over the seas.
There is nothing better that tue
Harrison administration can do TO
make it popular-and deservedly so
than to stop the Importation Of
paupers. And if Mr.. Layton wall
succeed even measurably in stopping
it he will not only benefit his fell
low workmen, but he will be a valu-
able acquisition to the administra-
tion. Every true American ought
to wish him success.-UdrriS6urg

The Johnstown Tribune says =
During the past week only ten
bodies were taken to the morgue, as
against thirty'nine the week pre-
vious. tits likely that but few will
be found from this time on, though
it is more than probable that the
cellars and portions Of the town
where much of the debris remains
will yet give up a few Of the victims.
The morgue reports contain list
of 2,302 bodies found ofwhich ,35I
are unidentified ard 9j1 identified.
But 1902 does not include near all
the lost. There are several hundred
persons, including some of our most
prominent residents, who are known
to be lost but whose bodies have not
been recovered; the number of those
found at points along the rivers as
far west as Steubenville (besides
others found still farther down who
could not positively be identified as
victims of the flood) Will exceed
two hundred while the number re-
duced to ashes at the stone bridge
and those otherwise unaccounted
for gill in all likelihood raise the
total to at least 1000"

Beyond all the horror and age
long suffering of the Johnstown
food, is the terrible suggestion that
q deferred penalty accumlates venge-
ance. The longer the stroke is de-
layed the heavier it is when it falls.
1t were better to make terms with
violated law or outraged justice or
insulted Providence at once. AS it
would have been an immense saving
of life and property to heed the
early admonitions OF the prudent
people who foresaw disaster from
the treacherous iood, so it would be
incalculably wiser for all who are
taxing the forbearance of God by
abusing His goodness to make haste
and repent. Interest on debts Of
that kind compounds, and it will be
found that there is no insolvency
court. The uttermost farthing
must be paid.
