on It's list for the coming championship

team unaffected by the change; for 1t

A glance at rbe teams rOw in training

ing. Columbia has this year determined
70 make a bold bid for the honors and
has accordingly. put a crack eleven in
the field. which . expected TO give a
good account Of itself when the day of

the team Is somewhat light in TIE rush
line. and that IL will find il difficult to
Withstand the force Of the class Of
players Harvard Yale and Princeton
will put in the feld. But Columbia IS
in constant practice and improving
daily.
The real match viii be between Yale,
Princeton and Harvard. and more
probably still. 10 viii lie between the
two former colleges. The PrincetOns
have the greatest number OF crack
p.aYers and an sll-round team of re-
markahle strength. Good iud0es claim
that they will easily Outplav Harvard.
But, as in former contests. the idea -
luck seems 20 hover over the heads of
the Yale men. and there are football
experts who believe that she is bound
10 win. because she has not lost a
champ pionship in several years.

success with ice cream in the winter eE-

their tongues hung out. We could
work on the feelings OF the father OF a
family that way, or OF a young man
with a best girl. But IN Africa those
artiacial means are unnecessary. II
you could have seen Mr. Umslopagaas

The Memphis Avalanche is out OF pa

Grafton OF freedom and dozen years of
education for him have not made him
the equal of the white man in intelli-
gence and efficienc Our esteemed con-
temporary should exercise more of the
virtues OF forbearance and patience. The
negro was brought here by force, in re.
sponse to the cupidily of the white man.
He was freed and made q cit zen and
voter by civil cataciysm that cost L.
100000 lives and ten billions of money.
He was responsible neither for his com. i.
ing nor is he responsible for his present
status; but he is here, and humanity de-
mands that those who brought him and
those who freed him shall make the best
of him. To crush him, deny him the
common advantages of education and a
chance to rise in the human scale, or to
expatriate, drive him forth. since we
have lost the power to own him, would
be cowardly and cruel. Wemust 90
forward with the experiment Of negro
civilization, education, elevation. We
can't back out of it; and all talk of re-.
dictionary nature is mere incendiarism.
as it provokes retorts in kind and tends
to dliye the negro into enmity and final
ly to desperation. The $1,000 600 whites
OF the United States could not, if they
would, gain credit before the world by
exterminating or driving off the six or
seven million blacks or mixed bloods.
We brought tuem here, and common
fairness, to say nothing of superiority
and the demands of morality and relig
ion, requires that we shall care for their
education and elevation to a plane of in
telligence and conscience that will make
them safe and useful citizens; and all
that cannot be done in the span OF one
generation, nor in two or three. Patience

A DElUGE FEARED

A Lake Threatens Them

By the People of Shelburne Falls, Mass.
Lake Threatens Them.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 14.-There
is great excitement in Shelburne Falls,
one Of the most thriving towns in the
Deerfield valley, over the possibility
that the Sadawga lake. In Whiting on
Vt, some distance above, may give way
and flood the valley. resulting in fear
ful destruction of life and property.
The lake covers 450 acres. and is said
to contain nearly 5000, 600, 900 gallons
Of water. The dam is very narrow, and
about twenty-five feet high. The water
is nearly a square mile in area and forty
feet deep. It has within a week past
sprung leak, but has been temporarily
patched up.
Sadawga lake is on the side of a
mountain, over 900 feet above Shelburne
Falls, sea level. and in the event of its
demolition that town would experience
second Johnstown horror. The Deer
field river on which Shelburne Falls is
located, is notorious for its turbulence
during high water. So great has the ex-
citement become all along the river that
a thorough investigation will be made.
and the dam will either be repaired or
demolished
