The trustees had just begun the bust
ness Of their monthly meeting, and Deacon
Smith had the floor, says the New York
Evening Sun They were legislatlng for
one of South Norwalks most prosperous
churches. Two Of the members had late
business engagements in the city. and
Deacon Smith 5 shop on the main street
near the station, had been chosen for the
meeting this month for the sake Of con-
venience. The deacon was well under way
when the outer door was seen to open
slightly and he paused to know the cause
of the interruption.
Connecticut is famed for the extensive
variety of tramps. and one OF the most IN
teresting type now appeared. His entrance
into the room was made IN thoroughly
original manner. When the door was
sufficiently aiar to admit of his head 1t
popped in on the astonished deaeons, sur
mounted on a most delapitated hat, and
compIemented bya smiling face and full,
ragged beard When he became sure
that no tangible obstacle was OF its way
to meet him be opened the door WIDE and,
with another glance Of satisfaction on the
benevolent faces that surrounded him, he
softly closed the door behind him; and
stepped iauntily forward. with his hat in
his hand His hair hung down over his
face in a rakish way. but with grace
fu sweep Of his long arm he caught up a
wad of it in his hand and lad it back from
his forehead He had on a long frock coat
fastened closely around his waist by a
thorn. and from the flowing lap above
oozed out the ends Of a much solled hand
kerchief. His closely fitting trousers,
through numerous portals of which pro-
truded his interesting self seemed to run
without any dividing line into the shoe
and boot which respectively lneased his
feet
The deacohs had time to note these
peculiarities before the stranger broke the
silence His voice seemed to emanate from
that particular boot and emerged with a
most pronounced French accent, which will
here be omitted,
Gentlemen, he began beg your
pardon for disturbing you, but ! am very
sick
He paused after this announcement to
note the effect.
II went to the doctor, he soon con-
tinued, 'and he gave me the pills see,
the pills, and he held up to view a small
| bottle which he had in the palm OF his
/ hand.
He said take the pills, three after each
meal, and would like very much to have
some assistance
"Wel. why in thunder don't you take
your pills then, and not come bothering
here? interposed deacon who was be-
coming tired.
Gentlemen, replied the tramp, with
much JUNCTION, j cannot take the pills;

negro race to Africa was the only solution
Of the problem. Il was undeniable that
the aversion between the two races had
greatly increased since slavery was abol-
ished and it would insrease 50 long as
large portion Of the population was Of
African race Experience would not per-
nit the statement that such feeling Of
aversion existed only in the south. 1t was
not so intense IN the south as it was in
the north. 1t was not so strong between
the negro and his former master as it was
between the negro and those who never
owned slave. The separation Of the
races was the only thing that would ex-
tinguish race ayersiOns. In Africa the
negro could grow up to the full measures
Of his destiny Slavery Morgan said
would be abolished in Central Africa. If
the work was left to the whites it would
be a slow process; but the American negro
could accomplish it if he dwelt among
these people In summing up his speech,
Morgan pointed TO the fact that the ne
grOes had no chance to rise In this country
Political influence would never lift the
negro race in this country abO;e Its present
level On the contrary the friction and
collision caused by the negroes use OF the
ballot would create more envy against the
negro race. He tMorgan) looked forward
TO the establishment. Of a free republican
government in the Congo region by the in
