YESTERDAYS ELECTIONS.

1t will be impossible to give any very
complete and satisfactory election returns
from the four new states this morning.
They are not settled up like Eastern
states and their telegraph facilities are
comparatively meager. For this reason
it may require several days to get abso-
lutely reliable information.
There seems to be no doubt hat Mon
tana has gone Democratic. The feeling
has been hat way for several days and at
the close of the polls at @ o'clock last eve
ming this feeling had grown into a gen
eral conviction.
1t is a noticeable fact that the strong
est objection that has been urged against
the Australian system of voting was not
experienced at all in Montana. Instead
of delaying the voting it actually seemed
to accelerate it even in the most thickly
populated ceuters.
So far as heard from the Democrats
certainly have no cause for regrets.

chair and hiring a small boy to roll them
about in a leisurely fashion among the

To inhale the germs OF disease with

The endemic atmospheric poison may,
however, be reft of its venom and rem

the system to safely brave its assaults.
Every physical function is confirmed in

Tho old saying that capital is timid has
met with a noted disprover in the recent
developments Of the great Electric Sugar
Refining swindle at New York. So
adroit were the swindlers. or so gullible
the capitalists, that the stock Of the

One Of the most Interesting features Of
the case Is the report Of Mrs. II. NJ

years ago lived In the same house with the

One day II was reported 70 her that there

room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Howard,
Mrs. Friends father and mother. The
register was open, and Mrs. Baltic heard
voices In the apartment below. The pro-

Mrs. Baillie's account of the conversa-
ton.

rnme more civilized, and the Africans now
are ambitious to enter the service of the
Europeans on the coast. Those who are
not fitted for assistants IN trade or for
servants live in the forests, gathering
ivory and rubber for the white trader
N Cocolo, being too young to be of use
IN a mercantile way, lived In one Of his
uncles' huts In the village of Melissa.
Dir. Steckeiman came TO America, and
went TO Columbus, Ind, when he was
quite young. He afterwards went to
Mayumha, and engaged In trading trips
into the interior. Some young Africans
who had gone to Europe or to America
had learned great deal, and had gone
back to become accountants in the coast
Trading stations. N Cocolo's parents
begged Steckelman 10 take the boy to the
white mans land, and to teach him TO
read and write, In order that when he
returned he might be bookkeeper. This
may not seem a very digniied position
for prince of the blood, but 1t Is better
than living in hut In the forest and
gathering ivory and rubber. Steckel-
man brought the boy with him to Column
bus, Ind. There the trader has a store
of African goods which he has sent on
from time to time.
N Cocolo was taken TO this store,
which, when he arrived, was partly used
for Christmas goods. 1t must have been
q singular sensation to the boy to be set
down among so many toys. The people
IN Africa go wild about few trfnkets.
So great is this passion that explorers
take with them immense coils Of brass
wire, which they give to the natives to
make ornaments of. One may imagine
that an African boy, years old, placed
IN a Christmas store, would almost burst
with pleasurable though avaricious emo
tons.
The youngster took position in the
back of the store, where he at once be-
came an object of great interest, espe-
cially to children. Some of them Thought
he wouldn't understand their remarks.
but party of boys and girls who were
criticising him one day were surprised
to bear him say;
Get away; I ain't no monkey"
The child Is TO be put to school, but he
win doubtless only learn to read and
write, for Mr.. Steckelman expects to re-
turn to Africa next summer, aud win
take NJ Cocolo with him. After the boy
Is sufficiently instructed he is to be Mr..
Steckelmans bookkeeper. lie is dressed
In white mans clothes, which he takes
to quite naturally, except the shoes.
Although he wears sizes altogether too
large for him, he prefers the barefoot
system of his native land He thinks
America is a fine country, but he re-
CARDS the climate cold. There is certainly
enough influenza. catarrh, bronchitis and
other kindred diseases in America-es-
pecially IN winter-to impress a boy who
has lived in tropical Africa with no
raiment save breech cloth. AS soon as
the youngster got TO living in houses
heated by modern improved processes
and to wearing good clothes, he caught
a tremendous cold. This Is the first thing
civilization did for N Cocolo; but il It
succeeds in making boolEkeeper Of him,
he will be looked up to with respect by
his people in Africa.

jured him, as he President Of Convention
loved his own soul, TO emancipate his
brethren for whom Christ had died"
In the United States and adjacent
islands there were peculiarities OF race
which long hindered the natural ten
dency of the church. In Louisiana and
the Indies the white colonists were
Catholic, and so the slaves were bred In
that faith, and after the revolution Ia
San Domingo about 1000 educated and
well to do colored men removed 10 New
Orleans. They spoke the French Ian
guage, we're Catholics, and educated
their children In France, the northern
states or In private schools at home,
Thus there has existed for many years In
New Orleans a colored society unlike
any In any other part Of the country.
Victor Sejour, once the private secretary
OF Louis Napoleon, and famous dra-
matic gyjter Of Peris, was native quad
room Of New Orleans.
At the close Of the 'civil war the best
and probably the largest colored school
In the United States was that directed
by the Catholic Society for the Instruc-
ton of INDECENT Orphans" at New Or
leans, and Its history Is an encourage
ment for all the race. In 1887 there died
In New Orleans O black woman, native
Of Guinea, known as Widow Bernard
Convent, who had acquired her freedom
and small competency. BY her win
she gave lot and the buildings on 1t for
q school for colored orphans. Ten influ-
entail freemen of color associated them
selves to give effect to the bequest, were
incorporated under the laws Of the state,
and on the goth Of April, 1S47, the insti-
tuition was founded. Il received some
slight help from the state and city, but
was chiefly maintained by contributions.
and In 1866 contained 28O pupils. The
recent growth of free schools and col
leges for the colored has made it rela-
lively less important.
In New Orleans, and probably there
only, are the colored Catholics able TO do
what they wish in church extension.
Everywhere else they are confronted,
not by the ''color line," as In other
churches, but by the far more prosaic
problem Of poverty. The great mass Of
the white Catholics In America have not
yet been In the country long enough to
have created many large fortunes, and
the colored Catholics are much poorer
still Nevertheless, they have achieved
some striking successes. The Church of
St. Augustine. In Washington, is mag
nificent edifice, built entirely by the col
ored Catholics, and the music, especially
the vocal choir, is noted even In that
city Of excellent choirs. The plenary
council of Catholic prelates of the United
States, held In Baltimore In 1884, made
considerable provision for churches,
school houses and priests for the colorcd
people. The recent convention was In
furtherance Of that object. After a busy
session OF several days and call upon
President Cleveland the convention ad-
journed Jan. 4 to meet a year later at
Richmond, Va.

Curious Relations Of the Catholic Church
and Coiored Americans.

Curious Relations Of the Catholic Church
and colored Americans.
The recent convention of colored Cath
olics at Washington may be noted as
quite an epoch In the progress both of
that race and that church in America.
The convention did its work SO well
and gave publicity to facts of SO much
interest and Importance that reading
Americans confess surprise at the
peculiar relations, both present and his
toric, Of tho negroes and the Catholic
church. There are in the United
States twenty distinct colored Catholic
churches, each with O school attached,
though the church does not encourage
separate organization, and most of It's
colored communicates attend white
churches. The colored Catholics also
have sixty-five schools, eight orphan
asylums and three reformatories; seven
educated colored men are now prepar-
ing for the priesthood, and there are
100 colored women In the various sister
hoods. The schools now include 5000
colored children. -
II lie not generally known that the
first movement towards general ernanci-
patton began In the Catholic church,
that more than one pope has made 1t on
object Of special address, and that the
confessor Of Charles V OF Spain was the
first TO inaugurate crusade against
African slavery and the slave trade.
As to the abolition of white slavery in
England, Macaulay, despite his strong
anti-CathoIc feeling, gives this testi-
mony;
