A FIJI ISLANDER


Causes n Panic in South Carolina
School House.
CIIARLEsToN, s. G., March 23.-The entire
colored population was thrown into ex-
element yesterday by panic among the
1850 colored children of the Morris-street
school. About 1890 in the morning q
wiry-built, copper-tolored man, dressed
in the fantastic costume of an East
Indian, walked into one of the class rooms
and began to make speech TO the chill
dren. He told them that he was re.
formed cannibal and used to eat human
beings. The colored people have lately
been on their perennial scare about the
medical students and were easily fright
ened The children laughed at the speaker
at first, but he ran at one Of the girls with
that the man was going to eat her.
Soon the entire school was in a panic.
Within three minutes after the first
shrek of the frightened girl rang
through the building there was not
child in it. The colored population for
squares around was attracted by the
screams of the children. The police were
utterly powerless to keep the crowds
away. Mothers scaled the fences, shrek
ing for their children, and the confusion
became worse and worse, the crowd being
constantly augmented by persons at
tracted BY the news which had rapidly
spread throughout the city that hundreds
Of children had been killed in the panic.
After long battle the police managed
to get the crowd under control and mat
tiers finally quieted down. Only three of
the children were injured in the panic
and none fatally. The man who caused
the trouble was arrested and had to be cs-
corted to station under strong guard.
He says he is Fiji Islander, 10 years old,
and was once cannibal. He denies that
he wanted to frighten the children.

The Coroner's Jury Declare He Caused
Active's Death.
The inquest over the body of '"Kid"
Active, the negro boy who died from the
effect Of injuries received in a stone
battle ON Saturday morning, was held in
the Lieutenant's Office at the Sixth pre-
cinct statiOn-h0use this morning.
William Hall, who was arrested and
charged with the murder, was. brought
down from the Third precinct station and
was present at the inquest. He sat with
his handkerchief to his eyes during the
entire time, while the testimony of the
witnesses was being heard.
Clarence Butler testified that Halls
younger brother and Active had fight
on Friday morning, and the younger
Hall whipped Active. This enraged him,
and he said that he could whip the pris-
oner. The latter started out OF the alley
where the ARRAY occurred and Active
pursued him with q volley of stones. Hall
picked up two stones and turned upon
his pursuer. Active turned to retreat,
and it was then that, he was struck the
blow that caused his death. As he was
struck, he felfon his hands and knees,
and never spoke again.
Henry Chaplin, another boy who was
present at the fight, gave testimony SINH
lar to that Of Butler, as did other residents
of Queens Alley, where the battle was
fought.
The testimony was all to the effect that
Hall was first assaulted and that IL was in
self defence that he threw the stone which
proved fatal.
The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased came to his death from the
effects Of q wound made by stone thrown
by William Hall. The cause of death was
fracture OF the skull.

Our CoLoBED FELLOW CITIZENS are quite
right in concluding to organize Christian
Association of their own. II is much
more sensible, dignifed and effective
course to pursue. Let them go into this
enterprise with intelligence and courage
and determination. They must show
the world that they are capable
of conducting great moral reforms,
Of managing large organizations and
of achieving useful results. Why should
they want TO he taken into the White
Christian Associations There they would
he merely accessories. They could never
obtain controlling influence. They
would get no credit for their work and de-
rive no benefit, direct or indirect, from the
unequal partnership. The coored people
Of Washington have among them all the
brains and energy and moral force
needed in such an undertaking. II is
proper that they should utilize this
material for their own account. As to the
field of usefulness in the District II may
he said to be unlimited. The race here is
seen at its best, and at its worst. It pre-
sents here nearer approach to the ex-
tremes developed in the white race than
anywhere else upon the continent. There
is wealth, and there is great poverty.
There is culture, and there is revolving vice.
There is enlightenment, and there is degra-
dation. 70 what nober end could the edu-
Gated, the moral and the well-todo devote
their means and their energies than to

The Last New England idea.

A Massachusetts, church fair adyertises
evangelical homemade candy" This Is
well. The effects Of agnostic machine
made candy are often deleterious and no
self.respecting church fair ought to sell it.
In these days of new theology we venture
TO suggest that church fairs exercise some
care IN the matter af oysters as we'll as
in candy. A revised or new theology"
oyster may come little cheaper, but
from an ethical point of view il is fraught
with danger. The untninking may pro-
nounce il luscious biyalye, but at the
last it biteth like a serpent and stiugeth
like an adder. No church fair should
ever provide anything but the old-fash-
ioned rock-ribbed hard-shell oyster Of our
fathers.

In the Choice Of Indian Teachers.
PHrLADEIrHIA, Pa, March 23.-Indian
Commissioner Morgan was in this city
yesterday and was asked If it was true
that the President had demanded his
resignation on account of his alleged dis.
elimination against Roman Catholic IN
dian teachers. Mr.. Morgan said that he
had not heard from the President on the
subject. The matter arose, he said, from
the failure of Catholic Indian agent
named Jennings to secure reappointment
at Green Bay, Wis. A Mr. McKelsey was
appointed in his place.
A Catholic sister was insubordinate and
remained away from her school for sew
eral days without giving an explanation.
She was dismissed. This is the only case
the Commissioner knows of in that To-
cality. He said he never made any dis
tinction in the matter Of selecting teachers.
He did not believe the president would de-
mand resignation until thorough in
vestigaton has been made.

SoMT or THE PAPERS, commenting on
The death of JosEPH f.. JOHNSTON, have
said that in him "the last of the great
Confederate captains, excepting, perhaps,
BrArREGARD, bas passed away" We are
rot quite sure as to what is meant by the
perhaps" in General BEAUREsARD's
rast-whether it is intended to imply that
perhaps BEAuREGARD is alive or whether
il is meant to suggest that pehaps
be was a great military leader.
II is very clear to us, however,
thar at least two x.Confederates are still
living who stand much higher in the es-
teen of their former followers than BEAU
REGARD does. The latter may have ranked
LoSGsTRrET, but nobody familiar with the
history of the war wonld think of class
ing him above LoNGsrREEr as strategist
and fighter. The same, though possibly
in o less degree, may be said of Il. KIRBY
SMITH, who is now presiding over
the University at Sewanee, Tenn.
In fact, IL is q little short of sacrilege to
speak of BEAUREGARD in the same breath
with JOSEPH Il. JOHNSTON. BEAuREGARp
was an engineer officer and q martinez.
JOHNSTON was great leader captain, a
director of vast operations, strategist and
warrior. In the opinion Of many COM
petent judges he was greater general
than LEE and would have been so recos-
nized but for the hostility of JEFFERSON
DAVIS which robbed hlm of opportunity.
