The Board OF Education cannot dis
regard the resolutions adopted by the
colored mass meeting, held In Ezlon
Church last night, without doing in
justice TO tho best and most intelligent
class OF our colored population. The
meeting was no rabble, the speeches
were not for buncombe. II was .
meeting OF honest, sincere colored
people, who feel that they have been
wropged by the action OF the Board OF
Education. They feel that their peti-
sions 10 the board have been treated
contemptuously, o. II colored people
had no rights they were bound 10 re
spect; as If they had made no advance
In education, and as il anything was
good enough for them.
The Board OF Education IL brought
face to lace with the difficulty and
will have to meet 1t heroically, If
this Is not done the education Of the
colored people will be retarded and an
Injury will b inflicted that will take !
long time to eradicate.
Miss Kruse Is still leil % principal OF
the Howard School. but II the large
meeting last night OF the most in,elli.
gent colored people in the city means
anything, 1t means that Ter useiu'-
ness IS an instructor Of the cOlored
children In the city has been 80 i'm. |
paired ~ TO become practically of no
account Neither would 1t be any |
better II Miss Lewis had been retained |
and Miss Kruse delegated to primary |
school with largely reduced salary.
The most direct way out of the diff.
Guilty that now presents itself, SCENE
10 he the dismissal OF both and the
OF others 70 take their
places.
When Miss Kruse was first appoint.
cd, teachers were scarce. She has
filled her station well and has done a
good work. But the day has come
when colored teachers are not 30 diff.
cult to find, and colored people are not
so dependent that they have but one
educator qualified TO fill the position of
principal OF the Howard school. Miss
kruse Is prepared 10 be more useful la
other educational fields OF labor, and
there 10 where she should now be sent
10 labor. The cause OF the education
81 the colored people OF Wilmington
does not rest with either Miss Kruse
Dr. Miss Lie wis, but with new educators
n no way mixed up in the present en-.

Held for Writing Policy.

"4-ll-I4' came out of the policy wheel
yesterday and today many colored players Of
that game are rejoicing. They had pu. their
nickcls and dimes on that row and this morn
ing they got their So and sl0 bills. For the
next few days they will be able to shoot
crap" and continue putting small amounts on
policy pieces. Joseph Young. one Of the
'curbstCne writers" was engaged in writing
numbers at the Baltimore and Ohio depot,
where. the hack Inspector SAYS. all the bag
gage wrestlers play policy. Fred Warren. u
hod carrier. was at the depot looking .or a
job because he could not work at his trade
and he had just put dino On '45-47-lI'
when Sergeant Faivcy appeared and arrested
Young for engaging In The policy business.
Young. II appeared, WAS not regularly om-
pIoyed by the firm, but he was in business
ON his own hook and turned in his slips to one
who was working for the firm. As he was not
employed by the firm no ono came forward 10
secure his release, and he had to remain be-
hind the bars over night. This morning he
marched into court and Judge Miller held
him IN 800 security TO await the action of the
grand jury.

A FAMOUS DESPERATE DEAD.
Old Tom Starr, Father-in-Law OF Belle,
and Slayer Of Seventy Men.

special from Muskogee, I. T., says: "Old
Tom" Starr, who was one of the most remark
able desperadoes in this country, is dead. He
was a Cherokee Indian, SIX feet four inches
tall and straight az an arrow. and at the time
of his death was nearly eighty years old.
lie came west with his father when the
Cherokees we're removed to this part of the
country. bitter feud arose between two fac
tions. known as the Ridge and Ross parties,
over the sale OF the home OF the red men east
to the Ridges He was shot down in his own
door by a party OF the enemy. Tom killed
three of the Roses on the spot and then he be-
gan a war agains; the others, IN which seventy
people. as estimated by the Cherokee council,
were slain b. him. About fifteen years ago the
Cherokee council entered into treaty with
Tom. and no had since lived quiet and ex-
emplary life.
During the days of his warfare against his
Indian foes many desperate deeds wore cred
tied TO Tom. A tax collector In Crawford
county, Ark, was overtaken by him in the
mountains, murdered and robbed OF $40. 900.
Watt Grayson, a Cherokee, was robbed of
S32.0CO. and a subsequent suit against the
government to recover the money showed
that Old Tom was the brains of the gang that
committed the robbery. In this job he was
aided by the cunning of Bill Reed. After
the robbery Reed went to Texas, where he met
a tragic death. Belle Starr and Tom quarreled
over the Grayson booty. Belle married Sam,
Toms fayorite son, to spite .'Old Tom" and his
wife. Three years ago Sam Starr and Bill
West. cousins, killed each other in duel over
family matters. and little later Belle Starr
vas shot on horseback near her home at the
headquarters of Youngers Bend, presumably
by friends Of her husband. who believed she
had conspired with Vest TO kill him.
Old Tom would talk freely of his deeds in re-
vengc of his fathers death, but he rarely spoke
of his other exploits.

QUEBEC Is FOR ANNEXATION.
A Leading Newspaper Declares That Its
Readers Want to Come Into the Union.

The Quebec Telegram comes out with q
square challenge to the two other English
newspapers published in that city, claiming
that its circulation is larger than the combined
circulation of its two contemporaries and de-
flying proof that the majority of its readers are
not in favor of a political alliance with the
United States. Says the Telegram:
1--WE know this because il is our business to
Keep posted on the opinions OF our readers.
We know 1t because we read - AZ we run along
the streets. We know it because the hand of
commercial decay rests heavily upon the city
and the people look for relief to the enterprise
American capital would bring if this province
was state in the Union. We speak the living
truth when we say that the only time that a
Quebecer speaks with emphatic hopes about
the future Of this city is when he says. Il am an
annexationistr Canadian political issues are
OF course discussed with the usual amount of
acrimony. but if you want to hear a Quebecer
ZION to him. II he speaks to you as he
does to us, the chances are that
he Will put vim into his utterance
and tell you that he wants the bars to be taken
down. and the sooner the better. He aces one
part OF the city .moldering in decay. He sees
the people leaving for the United States by
every outgoing train. He knows that the in
terstate law has forced hundreds Of Quebecers
who used to spend the winter in the south
TO strike their camps for good and pack off,
bag and baggage, to another cline. He sees
property depreciating in yalue-yes and that
too by nearly one-half-nnd now, to crown all.
he sees the Mckinley bill, and he hears wall
from the farmers, and yet we, we VINO hear
and see these things day by day. are told by
some distant contemporary, and told, too, with
off-hand Eauteur, that we do not know what

Seal More Profitable Than Cod.

An Ottawa special to the New York Herald
says: 1t is evident that the hardy fishermen of
Nova Scotia have scented rich prey out Oh tho
Pacific coast. The transfers of vessels are con-
stantly being made from the comparatively
profitless cod banks of the Atlantic to tho re-
munerative seal rookeries OF Behring sea. The
ninety-seven-ton schooner, Maud s.. has just
been purchased at Halifax by Brown Bros. Of
Victoria, &c, for the seal fishing. She is
rcckoncd one of the swiftest sailers on the At
lantic coast. A number of other vessels have
also been purchased for the same enterprise.
Some Of the American captains, it is stated
here. are seeking to change the flags of their
vessels to obtain the privileges accorded to
