The Foundered Tug Sold ~ She Lies for Old
Metal.

Metal.
Bids were opened Mt the Navy Department
today at noon for TIC hulk of the tug Trians,
wrecked at Guilty Hunk, Mass, March Is.
She is firmly imbedded in the sand out of
reach from the beach except by boats, and she
is only valuable for the metal she contains.
Advertisements for these proposals were issued
April 16. The first bid was by Thos Butler &
Co. of Boston, who agreed to pay 500 for the tug
as she now lies. A check for the amount
accompanied the bid. Next came proposal
from Dunbar 4 Davis, Boston, to take the
wreck for S27 That sum was inclosed in
greenbacks.
The third and last bid was from B. c.
Cromwell, IT,, of Vineyard Haven Mass, who
sent $40, which was all that he wanted to risk
on the hulk. There was no award made, but
Butler will probably get the tug at 300.

THE PILGRIM FATHERS
with apologies to the late John Pierpont,
esq.,, poet.
The Pilgrim Fathers, where are they?
The waves that brought them DER,
Still roll in the bay, and throw their spray,
As they break along the shore;
Still roll in the bay as they did that day,
When the May Flower moored below,
When the sea around was black with storms
And white the land with snow.
The Pilgrim Fathers are at rest
When the summer is throned on high,
And the worlds warm breast ID in verdure
dressed,
Go stand on the hill where they lie.
But their children live in Boston town.
On the hallowed spot. they stay;
And they will not wean from the srand old
bean,
Nor the broadened sound of a.

Human Instinct.

So powerful is human instinct that
some of its suggestions become ems
bodied in social and household GUS
toms. The people know and feel that
at the beginning of the spring season
the system needs an Alternative and a
purifying tonic and stimulant. In all
parts of the country it is the custom
for the housewife to dose her brood
with sassafras tea. Among the sim
pie remedies that our ancestors en-
ployed, this decoctiOn has continued
to hold its own. The demand for a
spring Alternative and tonic, however,
is filled more efficaciously by S. S.
S., which is itself as simple as na-
lures remedial medicine should be.
1t purifies the blood, cleanses and
strengthens the system, and prepares
the human machine to stand the
wear and tear of the summer months.

made for Fourth of July celebra-

ebration of the opening of the Chat

programme for the Fourth is large

something in it to makethe happy.
Early in the morning, the Modocs
and the Horribles, headed by the Gel
ebrated Belshazzer Band, composed
of female figures, will begin the per-
formance, preparatory to the grand
parade. This procession will include
the military, secret societies, FEEDER

Payments, bicycles in line, war vet
Grams, brass bands, ETC., etc. Then
will follow races. at the driving park,
tournament, military parade on the
University grounds, labor union
demonstration on Cameron Hill and
other attractions, too numerous to
detail here. At night military re-
ception and ball will be given at the
Stanton House, while Cameron Hill
will be aglow with fire works.. A
large amount of money will be ex-
pended in providing free ice water
and comforts for the thousands of Wis
itors who will be present. Special
trains will run on all railroads and a
half fare rate has been secured to all
points. Our readers should make
their arrangements to attend, as we
have no doubt this will DE the grand.

Educating the Negro.

"rhe great difficulty with the edu-
cation of the negro race in the
South" says a Southern man, sis
that the young negroes who receive
a first-class education 90 North and
engage in business. Theoretically,
they should assist in the education OF
the negroes of the South, but they
do not do so. There are very few
negro missionaries in the South, and
comparatively few cOlored teachers.
In fact, cOlored teachers, as rule,
are not successful in the South. A
negro who is prepared to teach OF
preach is regarded by the ignorant
blacks as a 'stuck-up' individual, and
they do not take kindly to him
They acknowledge the superiority of
the whites, however, without ques-
ton, and the chief educational work
among the negroes Of the South to
day is accomplished by white mis-
siOnaries from the North. And the
work must be left in their hands fol
several generations, at least. 1t il
impossible at present for the negro t
educate the negro"
We clip the above from the "Scien
tific Department" of the Toledo
Blade. 1t might be taken as bril-
liant specimen of the science Of lying
if it did not display such dense igno
rance. The persistence with which

merchants pass right on through

cause Nashville merchants do not of
