Highwaymen Frustrated.

HAvERHILL, Mass, Sept 1.-Two
men attempted to ''hold up" II. Z. At
wood, of Aver village, who was driv-
ing with his wife through woods on
their way home, about 1890 O'Clock
Sunday night. One of the men seized
the horse, whereupon his companion
leveled revolver at Mr.. Atwood, at
the same time demanding his money.
Mr.. Atwood, however, instead of hand
ing over his money. whipped up his
horse, which made jump, throwing the
highwayman to the ground, and dashed
away, leaving the would-be robbers
far in the rear The men fred at their
intended victims but did not hit either
Of them. Mr.. Atwood had on his per.
eoa about $500 and was pnaraed

stacles at every turn, and like many
who have gained the heights, he push
ed on, overcoming obstacles here, mas
tering difficulties there, until now he is
one of the bright stars in Southern
Afro o-American journalism. Mr.. Par
ker was born in Henry County, Ga, in
October, 1868, and has always resided
in his native state. The life of Mack
Parker is proof of what can be gain
ed by persistence, and he has clearly
shown, that man is, in nearly every in
stance, the architect of his own for
tune. Born In adversely, cradled in al
most poverty, reared amidst disappoint-
ments. he has weathered the storm, and
proved that al is possible to the man
that would be a man. We commend
the life Of Mack Parker to others for
emulation.

THE recent frosts have injured the
late wheat slightly in one or two local
tiles in the Northwest and have done a
little damage to corn, but not enough
TO noticeably change the figures of the
aggregate crop. A few days hence,
however, corn will be pretty well out
of danger all over the country.

There is an effort being made by
some to discredit the aspirations of I.
Thomas Fortune, of New York, to
succeed Hon. Frederick Douglass, as
minister resident and consul general to
Hayt, by attempting to make it appear
that Fortune is democrat
The facts are that Fortune belongs to
the Kings County Colored Republican
club, and to the Hannibal Legion, of
which DIR. William b. Derrick, mem
Der of the New York state republican
committee, is president, and that he
(Fortune) made several speeches in
favor of the republican city and county
tickets in the November campaign of
last year. No matter what might have
been Fortunes political affiliations in
time back, he is now indisputably
identified with the republican party.
On the arrival Of a Central passenger
train at Dennison, Tex, recently, three
men, all apparently Negroes, entered
the ladies' car for white people and
took seats. The men were ordered to
go forward to their Jim crow" coach,
but one of them with skin very dark
and kinky hair and would be classed
as a Negro by any person, refused to
go. He claimed that he was of African
descent but not Negro. The law in
Texas relative to railway transporta-
ton distinctions says, ANY person of
African descent" This man claimed
that he was of African descent but that
he was born in Mexico, and therefore
not Negro. He was permitted to ride
in the white coach, and the question
has created much discussion in legal
and railroad circles. If a Negro ceases
to be a Negro by being born on Mexican
soil, then the definition given to the
word by the Texas Legislature is a
misnomer, and the act to prohibit Ne
groes from riding in coaches intended
for whites, will in large degree, fail
to accomplish the purpose for which it
was passed. LARPH.

fishly interested in his races advance
ment. We contend that separate de-
partment is in the line of retrogression
and not progression. We have, for the
past two months, watched closely the
Afro-American papers, and find that our
position is backed by the utterances Of
our press We have not perused one or
two, but all the Afro-American papers,
and find that ninety per cent. Of them
are opposed to a separate department
for colored exhibits at the Worlds fair.
The procession has passed those sleepy
Rip Van Wrinkles who favor separa-
ton, and they do not realize that pro-
gress dictates that there be no separate
exhibit.
Hon. Frederick Douglass was inter-
viewed at Washington the other day
regarding his resignation, and
said: in no manner whatever
has either the president or the
state department ever intimated
to me that my resignation would be ac-
ceptable On the contrary, received
only the kindest treatment from both
the nedQ OF the ADMINISTRATION anu inc
department with which ! was imme-
diately connected. My resignation was
rendered on purely personal grounds.

fault of mine in obtaining the Mole,

Of my color either added to or detracted
from my usefulness as minister to
Hayti' This all sounds very nice, but
the fact is apparent, nevertheless, that
Hon. Frederick Douglass had become
cognizant of the fact that his resigna-
tion would please not only the admins
tration, but also large majority of the
younger element of the race. His
resignation may not have been asked
for or limited at by the administration,
but it was an easy way out of dilemma,
and an acceptance of the meaning Of
the handwriting on the wall-young
men to the front.

AFTERNOON FIRE.
Beth Fire Teams Out of the City
Not Afraid of Fires.

At 2:15 this aft ernoon fire alarm
was turged in from East Salem and
in q few minutes the streets were
filed with people. Every body
we're looking for the engines to
come up the streets at full speed,
but no engines were to be seen.
After a long delay"Tigers" were seen
wming out of the barn and the
"Csps" did not put in their appear
auce at all. A query was made as
to these causes and it was learned
that both teams were out h luling
gravel. One team had been into
Polk county and the other was
near the power house and with stiff
southwest wind blowing didnothear
the alarm. The Tiger team was re-
turning with load of gravel and
was near the east end of the big
bridge when the alarm was given.
Twas necessary to drive from there
to the engine house, unhitch from
lumber wagon and hitch to the
engine before start was made to-
ward the fire.
The fire was in the house of Jas.
W. Watt on the corner of
18th and Chemeketa stree cts. The
flames were put out by the prompt
work of few of the neighbors be-
fore the engine got there. The fire
caught in the roof from a hue. The
house is damaged to the extent of
about 500, besides some of the fur
niture broken in being removed
from the house.
The house is insured for $500 and
the furniture for 500 in the Ameri-
can Fire Insurance company.
