COlored People VIII Celebrate The
Emancipation Anniversary.

Posters announcing the observation Of
the aSth anniversary Of Lincoln's Proc.
lamation of Emancipation of the colored
people have been posted. The date set
Is April 70 and 20, and the place is the
State Fair Grounds at Dover It is pur-
posed to have an exposition and indus
trial display which will best exhibit the
advance made in the last IS years by the
the colored people The display will
not be limited to Delaware but the col
ored race from Pennsylvania and other
states will take part.
Hon. John M. Langston, a colored
aember Of Congress, will speak upon the
subject THE colored Man as a Factor
ID our Continental Industry" It is to be
hoped that this celebration will be a
decided success, as it will be an object
lesson to oar colored population of what
Is possible for their race to accomplish
by perseverance, and industry. If ever
the coiored race Of America is to rise
above the degradation Of their condition
IN which slavery left them they must
make an effort to better their own con-
dition. Legislation or philanthrophy
will not do it alone; but BY frugality, good
management, study and industry the
negro can win a position for himself In
he government Of the United States.

New Druggist License Law.

The druggists have been for long time
DESTROYS Of having the existing restriction.
under the present liquor law which prevents
their selling spirits for medicinal purposes
without prescription, removed. The en-
actment which is now law is as follows.
Section I. That It shall be unlawful for
any druggist to sell Intoxicating liquors in
any quantity or to any amount without hav-
ing first obtained a license to sell the same;
and it shall likewise be unlawful for any
druggist licensed to sell intoxicating liquors,
to sell otherwise than for medicinal pur.
poses and to persons Of known temperate
habits, A record Of all such sales shall be
carefully and correctly kept. giving date,
quantity sold, article, name of purchaser
and purpose for which obtained, which rec.
ord shall be kept open for free inspection Of
the public. Any person violating the pro-
visions of this section or any of them, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction by indictment, shall forfeit
and pay a fine of SIoo dollars for each
offence
The druggists claim that the law places
them in just and proper position towards
the public At present sick people suddenly
in need Of certain restoratives cannot obtain
hem without a prescription. This is not
always obtainabie as the physician may net
'e at his Office. Under the emergency
while waiting for the physicians return or
While looking up another one, valuable op-
'ortuuity for relieving the sufferer is lost.

Resenting the Outrage.

Mr.. Daniel, the man Of parrots, In

the other day. He has lately received
a very fine macaw, Of gorgeous plum
age, and the bird has been greatly
admired.
But when one Of the high muck-a-
mucks of the Comanches was saunter-
ing along the street and espied him lie
became wild.
"How much feather?" he asked.
"No wantee sellee fedder," replied
the dealer in his blandest Chinee, not
being able to talk Comanche.
'How much red feather" repeated
the Comanche.
mo wantee sellee led fedder," again
repeated Mr.. Daniel, feeling very much
embarrassed.
"Quarter for red featherp"
"No."
"Fifty cents?"
Mr.. Daniel shook his head.
"GIve you dollar"
That was irresistible, and the dealer
agreed.
"Quarter for blue feather" said the
Comanche.
Cant getee 'longee 'thoutee blue

Must have it Half dollar.n
mo"
'Dollar?"
"It's CO." said Mr.. Daniel. recov-
ering his English, and taking the
macaw inside he carefully clipped off
the two feathers and handed them to
The delighted Indian, who threw down
his 81 and uttered a suppressed war
whoop as he strobe off down the street.
The macaw was so mad when he
looked around at his tail that he NUT
tered several Brazilian cuss-words, re-
fused to speak to his master and went
10 bed without his supper.

door two brutal Cossacks, who asked
for money. The young mother trem-

upon they siezed her and her child,
bound them together, and flogged them
with their knouts until they were both
insensible.
On the return of the villagers they
were restored to consciousness by med
ical aid, but, as a result of the injuries
he had received, Hunichen remained
deaf and dumb until the end of his
days. His death was, indeed, direct
consequence of the maltreatment he
had received seventy-six years ago, in

to hear. Hunichen was very capa-
