Surely the Nobility Should Be
Noble.

''Noblesse oblige," the white race is
under an obligation to bear with those
who are still weighed down with the
disadvantages of heredity and en-
vironment incident to former state of
slavery. It is a crime, when Colored
community becomes violent, for the
whole citizens to become more violent,
and thus stir and spur the Colored peo-
pie to be still more violent. It is rather
the duty of the white people to study to
lead the Colored neighbors away from
violence by example and by kind treat
ment.. This is the only Christian course
to take, and to take it will be effectual
for good just as soon as the Southern
whites come to recognize the rights of
the Colored citizens to citizenship, and
their capacity for education In fitness
to exercise those rights, as shown by
the wonderful progress illustrated. by
their foremost men, Once convince the
Colored people that the whites donot
wish to disfranchise them and keep
them down and race prejudice will dis
appear from the black side, at least

disappointment to the club, however, it
resolved itself into extensive session and
transacted some necessary business.
The constitution was amended so as to
admit of four instead of two meetings a
month. Tie promoters Of the enterprise
have borne in mind the fact that the
musical talent of the city is connected
with the various organizations of both
religious and charitable characters, and
have endeavored to avoid clashing in
terests. The club stands, alone upon a
musical basis and it remains to be seen
whether it will succeed upon that basis.
This being clearly and irrequivocably

ST. JAMES A. NJ. E. CHURCH.

1t is remarkable what strange notions
members of the "superior' (?) race
have regarding Colored people. They
claim to be SO very intelligent; but, put
them up before Colored audience and
they stutter an stammer or sail away on
some antideluvian idea that disgusts
their hearers. They seem to think that
they have to express themselves in
some peculiar way to Colored auditors.
Doubtless they mean no harm, but they
certainly show an alarming lack of com
mon sense. An exemplifcation of this
fact occurred al st. James church last
Sunday evening. The Methodist Epis-
copal conference was in session here last
week and according to established GUS
tom the ministers present, or portion
OF them, were assigned to the different
pulpits of the city last Sunday. After
considerable discussion in the committee
as to the sort of man to send, one was
selected for St. James. He came &C.
companied by two brothers. The ser.
mon of the preacher was interesting and
instructive, the prayer of one of the
others gave evidence of his scholarly at
tainments. Then came some remarks
by the third brother, but in the first
sentence he uttered he put his foot in
it, by some illusions to "Old Black Joe"
and his "black nanny" etc. His re-
marks as a matter of course fell like a
wet blanket on the audience but he
seemed to be in blissful ignorance. At
the close of his remarks the pastor of
the church arose and in a most sarcastic
but genteel manner gave the speaker
something TO think of for many days to
come, if he had intelligence enough to
notice and understand it. The audience
was highly delighted at the spirited and
timely remarks of the young pastor. 1t
is hoped that the brother of the "super-
ior" race will profit by the lesson given.
Colored people have not been idle for
the past twenty-seven wears and in
ordinary intelligence will average pretty
we'll. Members of the superior" race
ought to be intelligent enough to re-
member that; and, when addressing
Colored audiences, talk on such subjects.
and In the same way, as if addressing
whites. They need not fear not being
fully understood. "
Work in the West St. Paul mission to
which Rev. Richmond Taylor was as
signed was started last Tuesday with a
prayer meeting. There was fair turn
out of the people and after a glorious
heavenly feast Rev. Taylor stated that
his object was to form praying band
and the first to join was sinner, this
aroused the christians and fifteen names
were added. The work is begun in
earnest and will be carried forward With
zeal. The mission is situated near the
corner of Eaton and Chicago avenues,
take Rice street car to Chicago avenue
which is within one block. Take Oak

Did it ever occur to you how few
marriages there are among the Colored
people of this city? Bachelors and Old
Maids are on the increase. Girls you
make the gents spend their money for
amusement, and there is nothing left to
get married with. Save their money
and they will make you good economical
husbands.
The greatest commercial immoral,
and smoky city in the West is Chicago.
This is the conclusion reached by citi-
zeus outside of this city, after reading
the constant protests published in the
daily papers. Chicago is great city and
not near so black as painted by it's own
daily papers. In their effort to better,
they retard Chicago's. commercial pro.

JEROME pARK,S OCTOBER MEETING.

The American Jockey Club will open the
gates of Jerome Park to-day for the October
meeting Its course is the most pleasant and
picturesque of all those in the East. 1t is more
readily accessible than any other from Madison
square, the centre Of gayety and diversion in
the metropolis. For people who find leisure
to go to the track by carriage, the drive up
Fifth-ave., through Central Park, with its
changing glory Of autumn tints. up to the IIar-
lem River, and then by the spacious Jerome
ave. to FOldham, is one OF the most agreeable
experiences to be enjoyed in an autumn after
noon For those who. because Of lack Of time
or for other reasons. prefer the quicker journey
bv rail the trip is a short and easy one, directly
from the Grand Central Station to the gates Of
the course without change or delay. by this
route the race-gocr has no tedious passage to

recommending that no portion of Central Park
be used for buildings for Exposition purposes"
as it finds that sufficient land can be obtained
for the proper accommodation of the buildings
in the region north and west of the Park. The
committee has become convinced from the in
quiries so far made that it will be impossible
to secure the use of all the land needed without
legislation, whereby the city may condemn the
property for public uses. There is no reason
to believe that the Legislature would refuse to
sanction such proceedings, but even if action
should be taken at the opening of the session
in January there would be three months OF an
moving delay. In the case of owners who are
absolutely beyond reach, it may perhaps be
taken for granted that the city will be en-
powered to act but public sentiment in favor
of the Fair ought to be strong enough 10 deter
any property holder from throwing an obstacle
in the way Of its success by refusing to let his
land be used on the easiest terms.

modern, Jones made his speech one continuous
peroration. How he sustained himself at such
an altitude in the rhetorical ether no man VIII
ever know, but the feat must have made
DougheIty and Grady and Bourke Cockian
dizzy. And when the moment came Tor re-
turn to earth there was no ripping OF the can
vas no throwing out of ballast and drag ropes.
no cIutching of a parachute. Jones dropped
down out of the clouds without so much as the
faintest suggestion of a thud, and hxlng his
bright blue eye on the convention simply sad
Gentlemen what is your pleasure :" Ihere
was only one thing for the convention TO do
after that. Like the High Court OF Justice
after Sheridan's immortal Grafton, 1t ADJOURNED
for the purpose of recovering it's cOmposure.
Thus was Jones tried, and there isn't the
remotest possibility that he would have been
found wanting even if he had used pair OF
his own incorruptible scales for foStrlm.
Another standard of eloquence has been set
NJ. and hereafter nobody will venture to pre-
tend that he has ever heard great speaking
without first producing competent evidence to
prove that he was present when Jones opened
a new era at Syracuse.
