Equally as glaring and more deter
mined inconsistencies exist in the walks
of life among the Colored people. They
live disreputable lives and yet expect
the respect of respectable people and
thrust themselves forward as fair repre-
sentatives Of the race whenever an OBJ
portunity is afforded. They conduct
various kinds of business in which no
Colored person will be accorded the
same accommodations they cordially
extend to whites. They act very bois-
terously and unbecomingly in public

the same courtesy gentlemanly and

are very many evils existing among US

one prayer that is offered more in

Washington's birthday, was truly grand:
our vestry was filled with an appreciate

entertainment a success in every way.

in interest from week to week. Those

NORTH SIDE POLITICS,
Meeting of Cnlored Voters Tues
day Night, Good
Speeches.
No One Man Runs the Voters.

About sixty Colored voters met Tues
day evening Feb, Goth, at Miller's barn
Division street, between State street and
Dearborn ave-, to discuss the question of
of one mans pledging the votes of all the
Colored voters of North Chicago, to any
set Of political bosses or monopo]ists,
and fortiori to bunch and to deliver
them even before the primaries are held.
S. W, Harris was elected chairman, G.
W.. Brasheres was elected secretary.
The chairman then called upon Fred M.
Burrows to state the object of the meet
ing.
He in brief speech said, in addition
to what is substantially stated above:
that he desired to see every aspirant for
public Office have fair show with the
people, that the people were the sover-
eign, and when they said to Ben Harri-
son, 'sGo to the White house," he'd go
and when they said Some out of there"
he'd come out. He said that he was a
Republican deep down in his soul, and
would support the Republican nominee,
but at the primaries, he would vote for
the men who were in favor of Colored
recognition in political and commercial
positions-he made no assertion
respecting social recognition, as
was. misstated by the Tribune
He said that he thought it no more than
fair to give our boys and girls chance
to learn trades, and to favor them with
positions they were capable of filling,
after being educated in the high schools
and other departments Of learning.
A living discussion then ensued, Messrs
J. Fl. Porter, G. W. Johnson, G. w.
Brashers, Henry Clark, z. T. Saunders,
S. w. Harris and others, speaking.
Mr.. Burrows, would here correct a
statement made by The Herald, that
Mr.. Cabell had been ousted from the
office Of misunderstanding of The Dou-
glass League, and at the last meet
ing, was in danger OF being thrown down
stairs. Mr.. Cabell is still ass't-secretary
of The League, and as the meeting was
held in a basement, he was not subject to
being thrown down stairs. The Herald
was also misinformed.
The meeting adjourned in order, and
very soon a club to carry out the object
of the meeting will be formed.

STURDY ECONOMY.
The Example Set to His Countrymen b
Benjamin Franklin.

The Example Set to His Countrymen by
Benjamin Franklin.
Time was when the life of DR.. Frank
lin was considered stock book to pre-
sent to young men starting out in life,
whatever their business. But of late
years I suppose it has been considered
as rather behind the age. Indeed,
many not very familiar with the subject
are apt to think of him something in
the light of that public speaker, not
over friendly to Puritan traits, who
spoke of him as ''the incarnation of the
New England character-hard. calcu-
lating. angular, incapable of conceiv-
ing of any higher object than the &C
emulation of money"
So often, impulsive, generous-hearted
youth is apt to look upon thrifty max
inns of close economy and steady in
dustry as rather 'old fogy" in their
days, as something narrowing and
hardening to nature.
It is true that Franklin's teachings
in this line impressed themselves
deeply on the age in which he lived,
and they have come down to us in
straight line these hundred years, and
become no unimportant part of the
warp and wool of the nations history.
No doubt the "pattern' would be
greatly married, if not the very fabric
itself, if his influence, direct or iu-
direct, could be wholly eliminated.
Yet his careful "taking care of pence"
did not make him hard or unsympa-
tEizing, or deaf to appeals on his gen.
crosby. Indeed, his very care of the
pence enabled him to dispense with a
generous hand to those who had a
claim upon him. 1t was not very mer-
cenary in him to buy house in Boston
for his poor old sister Jane, and send
in every fall enough money to lay in a
plentiful store Of fuel and food. And
yet from the midst of the gay French
court he took time to write her such
funny, CHEEKY letters that she said the
pleasure they gave her ''made even
his great presents but a secondary
JOY" His thrift and economy had not
soured his disposition; but, despite his
homemade blue stockings, his genial
spirit made for him welcome in the
highest court circles. Indeed, his faith
fulness to friend often exceeded what
we should esteem wise prudence,
giving even half of the years income
to help poor fellow who was his COM
! panion in London, whom he loved with
| all his faults. 1t did not show very
mercenary spirit to give his three
years salary of six thousand pounds to
works for the public good; nor would
a very stingy man have taken the in.
terest he did in his journeymen, many
of whom he set up in business.
His old principles of sturdy economy
and diligence in business are the bull
warks of the nations prosperity still
and it will help any young man te
make them a subject of faithful study
and careful thought. American Gro

How 60 Stay Young.

"How to Get Strong and How to Stay
So" was the title of a little book that a
few years ago was very popular with
people interested in physical culture.
But book which should tell us how to
stay young would be still more popular.
Saying nothing about the tabled "Foun-
tain of YOUTH" which Ponce de Leon
searched for. there is no question that
much may be done to stay young.
The observance of sound and sensible
hygenic rules, the use of suitable and
wholesome food, and keeping regular
hours, will do much to preserve youth.
One of the greatest helps is to avoid
worry. When you travel, the best way
to avoid all worry is to take ''The Bur
lington." It's smooth tracks, it's lux
urious sleeping cars, and the delicious
meals furnished on it's peerless dining
cars, make ivory absolutely impos-
