negro features are often nearly eliminated.
Then we see the truly handsome Cuban
darkey with the straight black hair, the
clearly cut features of Spain, and when
carrying upon his turbaned head tray
filled with tropical fruits, he seems q study
in antique bronze.
The negro, like the sugar cane he loves,
is tropical. Without any apparent excuse
he is happy. Beneath a sun that would be
sufficiently hot for a clam bake he sleeps on
serenely. Until 10 years Of age he ruhs
about absolutely naked. After that time
he wears as little as possible.
THE WORKERS OF CUBA.
The Cuban negro is not idle. In this
country of inaction he works. One-half the
population of the island is black. The
whites, by some conventional law, do moth
ing. The blacks then are forced to do 1T all.
I mentioned that there was not much
thrift and good deal of rocking chair in a
Cuban's life. "Who then directs the house
hold?" The negro servants. They nurse
the babies, do the marketing, make the beds,
in fact, "run''-no, the Cuban never runs
manage the house. They all eat, too. Every
one who feeds them is convinced that
Cuban negro can eat. Some of them will
tell you that they never had enough to eat
in their life.
I enjoy fun myself, so soon questioned
about the amusements of the negro.
learned that he just had one-dancing. The
typical negro dance is an expression of joy.
Sorrow is soon conquered through its
agency. Any Sunday evening you may see
him dance. His only orchestra is drum,
fashioned by himself He holds the drum
between his knees, and beats it with his
open hands. He wriggles, he writhes at
tile pleasure it gives him. At the same
time buxom yellow girl and q barefooted
lad are dancing an African can-can. She
is coy-he is gallant. They simply shuttle
and twist themselves There isneither skill
nor beauty in it. The pleasure is derived
from moving the body in time with the
monotonous notes of the drum. Originally
clumsy and awkward in movement, inade-
quate in the matter of calves and often mall
formed in the shape of his feet, negro can
dance all night to the tune of five notes
played over and over again on battered
guitar.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
The Constitutionality of State Laws At
firmed at Washington.

Hrmeu at w aSnInSCOns
Washington ID. c. dispatch.]
The Supreme Court of the United States
has rendered an opinion in the case of Will
liam Baldwin, plaintiff in error, VS.. The
State of Kansas: appealed from the Supreme
Court of the State of Kansas. Baldwin was
convicted in Kansas OF murder, and APP
pealed the case on the ground that the
jurors who tried him were not sworn ac-
cording to the mode prescribed by the State
statutes. and that he was therefore being
deprived of his life without due process of
law. The court. in an opinion by Justice
Blatchford affirming the judgment of the
State Court, says that the plaintiff did not
raise the constitutional question brought
here at the time of the trial, but first made
the point in the Supreme Court Of Kansas.
and this court therefore has no jurisdiction
in the case.
The court also rendered an opinion dis
missing for want of jurisdiction the appG-
cation for a writ of error in the case of
George w. Farnsworth. plaintiff in error.
VS.. The Territory Of Montana Farnsworth
was convicted of violation of statute of
Montana Territory making it a misdemean-
or for any person to sell goods as a COM
mercial traveller without having first Sc
cured a license.
The court also rendered an opinion in
the case of Frank M. Dent, plaintiff in
error, VS.. The State of West Virginia,
III error TO the supreme Court or APP
peals of the State of West Virginia. Dent
was convicted of unlawfully engaging in
the practice of medicine without diplo-
ma, in violation of statute Of the State
which requires every practitioner of medi-
cine to obtain a certificate from the State
Board of Health that he is Il graduate of a
reputable medical college, or that he has
practiced medicine in the State continuous
ly for ten years. Or that he has been found
upon examination by the board to be quail
fed to practice medicine. Dent appealed
the case to the State Court of Appeals as
serting that the act was unconstitutional
inasmuch as it deprived him of liberty and
property without due process of law, con-
trary to the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution. The Court OF Appeale gave
Judgment against Dent and this court af-
firms that decision.
