Judge Gumby, of the Louisiana Supreme
Court, delivered an interesting address to-
night on the race problem, which, he said,
concerns not only the South, but the whole
country. 1t will not settle itself, he said.
1t must not be let alone. 1t demands
brave thought, and determined action
would solve it by bloodless revolution. All
the trouble in the South arises from polit-
ical jealousy of negroes and from the fear
of the whites that the negro rule will be
restored and utterly destroy the newborn
progress of the South. The true solution
| of the race problem on a just basis lies in
the restriction of suffrage and the only Just
restriction is an educational qualification.
If the negro was enabled to exercise the
| right of suffrage intelligentiy, all danger
| and apprehension of race trouble would
cease. This qualification should be adopted
| by the General Government, and the same
| Government should give the negroes means
| of education to qualify them for the bur-
dens and responsibilities of citizenship,
which the Government placed on them to
subserve its own enCs. Public education
| is peculiar and the grandest distinction OF
the American nation. and it ought to be
put into the National Constitution. The
press should cease to be partisan in the
presence of this grave issue. Statesmen
should adjust the question on basis just
and fair and safe to both races.

Horses Have Curious Fancies.

Horses have curious fancies, likes and
dislikes, and are at times as unreasonable
as women. Squire Osbaldeston, the WELL
known English turfman, had horse called
Grimaldi, who, for some reason, would not
face running water. In consequence of
which caprice, he lost the Squire two
races but he had third on hand, against
Colonel Charritus Napoleon, for 500
guineas The course was over the Dun
church country, SO Osbaldeston went to the
famous rough rider, old Dick Christian,
and consulted with this equine oracle as to
what was to be done to get Grimaldi over
a stifiish brook that lay in the line of
country. Dick had a wonderful power
over horses, his great secret being coaxing
and kindness. He agreed to meet the
Squire and his horse on the following
morning at Brixworth, and there, having
allowed Grimaldi TO smell at stream, and
patted and coaxed him, at last induced
him to cross quite easily He was then led
TO the brook. "He'll never cross this,
Dick" SAID the Squire. "Pll bet you a
guinea he will. Squire" answered Christ
ian. Dick then waded into the stream,
and finding a place where he could stand,
he arranged with Osbaldeston that he
would be in that place when the match
took place. CPL be here" he said, with
my hat on the top of stick gallop right
for me and keep him going" The Squire
carried out these instructions to the letter,
and Grimaldi leapt clean over Christian,
hat and all, cleared the brook and won the
match for his owner, because he had conf
dence in the man who coaxed him-Nelp

EDUCATIONAL ConvENTIoN.
A Ruling at st. Paul on the Matter o
Election of Officers

ST. PAUL, July 11th.-When the fourth
p days session Of the Educational Associa.
ton opened, Alexander Forbes of Illinois
got the toor on a question of privilege and
read from the constitution to prove tina;
the method of election of officers Yesterday
had been Illegal, and moved that an cleo
ton now be held. His motion was imme.
dlately seconded, and his speech heartily
applauded
President Canfeld said that the present
constitution had been adopted for small
BODY and was in many ways unsuitable for
the greatly augmented number of the pres
ent organization. The very rapid growth
OF the association had compelled the waiv-
ing OF many constitutional provisions, and
1t would now be physically impossible to
carry out all the exact provisions of the
constitution. He declared the motion and
the resolution were out of order.
Harley of Wisconsin, who had seconded
tue FORBES motion, appealed from the de-
cision OF the Chair, bat the President re-
FUSED 10 hear the appeal. and his decision
was greeted with combined applause and
Misses
The Chair called Immediately for the re.
port OF the President of the Educational
E Council and the matter was dropped.
The concluding paper of the morning
was devoted to the explanation of the
work and the scope of the university and
the school extension system of reading and
lectures, by United States Commissioner of
Education, w l. T. Harris.

parin,ents met for the last time this wear.

Squaring Accounts,

A drummer who travels for a Boston
grocery concern says that he sees in Maine
some of the sharpest tricks that are prac-
ticed anywhere on his route. He gives
the following specimen to the Lewiston
Journal:
A farmers wife hustle into a store in
Washington county the other day, and
went for the proprietor with:
'Mr. B, l bought six pounds of sugar
here last week, and when | got home l
found stone weighing two pounds in the
package"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Can you explain the swindle, sir?'
~ think l can," was the proprietor
placid reply. when l weighed your
eight pounds of butter, week before last, l
found two-pound pebble in the jar, and
when weighed your sugar the stone must
have slipped into the scales, somehow. We
are both growing old, ma'am, and l am
sorry to say that our eyesight isn't to be
trusted. What can do for you to-day,
ma'am?"
For a moment the woman gazed at the
tradesman over her brass bound spectacles.
Then she recollected herself and remarked
that she had dozen eggs which she wished
to exchange for hooks and eyes.

An Eccentric Marnnis.

The Marquis de Leuville, among his
other eccentricities, goes to church now and
again. The other day he was en- route to
one of his favorite musical masses and was
accosted by an old woman who was sweep
ing crossing near Victoria street. She
asked the gallant Marquis for a penny
He promptly responded with silver coin,
and suggested she should 60 to church.
The lady crossing sweeper replied that ii
was the dearest wish of her heart, but she
had seven young children at home to feed
and could not afford it.
"Give me the BROOM" said De Leuville,
who never cares two pence for appearances
and get you to church." and for brief
spell the passsrs by were edited with the
spectacle of "a tall, eccentric-looking man,
irreproachably dressed in patent leather
shoes, black-stitched lavender gloves and
Prince Albert coat, keeping clean cross
ing for the ancient dame. When the old
woman returned she received over two and
a half dollars, the result of De Leuvilles
taking her post.

To be Popular in Society

To converse well 1t Is necessary that you
should have the art of discovering what
will interest the person with whom you
are talking, and that you will know how
to drop the subject when it becomes tire
some, and never to let a special fad of
your own be the one subject that you
bring up. Learn to be all things to all
people, to avoid personalities or very de-
cided opinions on any subject. You don't
want to give TRADE against dishonesty
to man whose father died in States
prison for forging notes. You don't want
to object to the divorce laws when the man
you are talking to uiay have married a
divorced woman. You don't want to talk
about bleached hair to a woman whose
hair is pronounced yellow, nor to discuss
how injurious is rouge and powder to the
woman who is made up in a most decided
manner. In your heart you may object to
all these things, but you are not giving ex-
preston just now to what you think; you
are simply making yourself pleasant to
some one whom you have met to-day and
may never meet again. Talk about Egyp-
tian mummies or French politics; how
orchids grow, the last new play or the last
new song; but use good English, speak as
if you were interested, and then you will
gain what you want-a reputation of being
a charming woman socially-Ladies' Home

An Old Colored Man Tells an Affecting
Tale of His Dog.
From the Washington Star
"Wkar is de superintendent OBJ de dogsg,
asked seedy individual of the colored
persuasion as he entered the swinging
doors of the District building this morn
ing, accompanied by large, shaggy
brute whose pedigree was evidently in
doubt.
"Who is it you want to see?" asked Ser
geant Pierce, who stands guard at the
door.
'Why, de supentedent OBJ dogs-de man
what 'zamines dem and gives dem a medal
fer to keep 'um from getting ketched by
the dog scoopers."
IL guess you want to see the man that
issues dog tags-that is the room to the
right"
"Come long here Cicero Potomac"
said the old man, and the dog leisurely
shook himself and followed his master into
the Collectors Office.
"Dis hyar am de finest dog in the coun-
try" said the old man, addressing the dog

| tinued the old man. affectionately patting

The Heated Wave.

The Signal Service temperature at A. NJ.
and P. NJ. yesterday was $50 and 900,
while the highest and lowest was 90 and
6o0, with gentle southerly breezes and a
clear sky.
The highest aud lowest temperature one
year ago yesterday was $50 and so, and
one year ago 10 day $50 and $50, showing
what remarkable uniformity there was
in the caloric condition of the atmosphere
this time last year.
The highest at Red Bluff yesterday 1lthJ
was 1902, as against 90 in this city. This
appears to be good evidence of an ap-
preaching warm wave swooping down
upon US from the north. No matter how
hot it gets north much abused Sacra-
mentans always manage to keep their

the,season, consisting of twelve innings.
The score was to in favor of San Fran

From the seventh to the eleventh inning
the score was a tie, no runs were made.
In the twelfth Stevens hit two Dagger to
left field, went to third on Ebrights sacri-

Both teams put up splendid ball. The
pitchers were equally effective, but Carsey
was steadier. Young was sick and Looka-
bough was again in the box.
The infield work was particularly fine,
and Stickney and Ebright carried off the
honors Score:
