at Dinner.

Mrs. Martha Hubbard entertain
ed on last Sunday at her beautiful
residence on Eleventh street,:
party of distinguished persons who
were in attendance to the Wood
River Baptists Association. In the
spacious dining room there was a
large table with seating capacity
of fifteen, which was heavily laden
with all the eatables and; dainties
ofthe season. We will not mention
the bill of fare, fearing we would
not be doing the menu justice but
it is safe to say that we have new
er witnessed in all our travels and
enjoyment such an enjoyable occa-
sion as this. After the fifteen per-
sons had done ample justice to the
inner man you could not miss or see
any decrease from the dishes OF
the bountiful feast, and the entire
guests will long remember, Mr..
and Mrs. Hubbard for their tastes
and manner in which they were en-
tertained. Those present were Rev
and Mrs. B. Hillman, Rev. J. W.
Crushshon, of Peoria; Rev. A. Ward,
Decatur; Martha Samuels, Alton;

disagree with his utterances, we can
not help but remember that the colonel

1.-THE SWEET SINGER.

The lyric stage to-day possesses no
soprano the equal of Madam Selika, our
own peerless singer. When | say this
/ do not mean when measured by the
standard of Negro excellence, but l
mean this as a broad sweeping asser-
ton. But for the fact of her color she
would to-day be freely acknowledged
by the general public queen of the lyric
stage. Her maiden name was Price,
and she was born in Natchez, Miss.
Her mother died when she was quite
small, and her father, FL. Price, with
several other daughters came to Cincin-

elder sister, Mrs. Holloway.

A recent Decision of the Interstate
Commission, has knocked the recent
enactmentS of several Legislatures OF
Southern states on the" Jim Grow" car,
end ways. The commission holds that
colOred persons purchasing through
tickets and passing through states
where these laws are in operation, are
protected by Federal law, while pass
ing through said states. 1t will be re-
membered that Senator S. NJ. CuliOm
is the author of this bill, which brings
this source of relief to the Afro Amerl-
can. We congratulate the Senator on
it's successful operation.
The second victory was through the
agency of the National League, of
which Hon. r. II. Fortune is the able
president. The circumstances of the
case are substantially as follows: In
July W. H. Heard, D. d, Purchased
tickets at Louisville, KY. and boarding
the Pullman sleeper, was assigned his
berth, Shortly after, the train and
sleeping car conductors ordered him to
vacate which he did under protest.
He entered the next coach in the train
and was ordered to take the "Jim
crown car, which he reluctantly did.
Mr. Fortune was notified of the conduct
of these under-officials, and at one or
dered suit commenced. The Pullman
Company requested conference, which
was agreed upon. At the conference
the Pullman Company was represent,
ed by Legal Adjuster Petteett and Gen,
eral Manager Martin; Hon. L L. For
tune and Rev w. N. Heard, represent
ing the League A spirit of friendli.
ness prevailed, the result of which, was
the discharge of conductor Kellogg, o.

damage of $3.50 to Heard, which was
accepted. President Fortune has or

James Storm, of Washington, d. c.,
has written letter protesting against
the board of managers of the Worlds
fair for not appointing an Afro-Amer-
lean as an official representative in con-
nection with the board of managers.
He then proceeds to argue in favor of a
separate exhibit for the Negro. It's
surprising that person living in Wash
ington, d. c., where prejudice is SO
rank, should ask and urge a continu-
ance of distinction on account of color.
Let our exhibits GO with the rest, and
have no fear that the fact may not be-
come known that they are productions
of Afro Americans Give us separate
apartments in which to exhibit the pro-
ductions of Afro-Americans and the
standard by which their excellence
will be measured will be the best in
that department only.
Let our productions be exhibited
with those of the whites without dis
tinction, and the standard by which
they will be measured will be the best
of all. In case we carry off honors
which will be the most creditable, an
honor won in competition with all or

Although our southern brethren are
raising holy howl OF indignation
against Jim crow" ears, they are GalpG
right along spending thousands of dol
lars on excursions over lines that con-
sign them to these ears. Sunday is the
especially favored day for their excur-
sions, and although they get the credit
for having more religion (physicaD than
any other race, under the guise of camp
meetings, they desecrate the Sabbath
by patronizing the railroads.
This is not all, they impoverish them
selves. 1t is estimated that Montgom-
cry, Ala, Afro Americans expend S24,
900 annually on excursions, and other
cities in proportion. We think this tig'
ure little exaggerated, but it is a de
plorable fact nevertheless, that the
amount spent by Afro-Americans on
excursions annually is an item of no
small consequence.

The attempt of Hon. b. X. Bruce to
secure a place for his wife on the
Worlds fair commission, is about the
smallest thing man of his standing
could stoop to, We never had very
exalted opinion of Mr.. Bruce's ability
or craftsmanship, as we always be-
lieved him a mediocre, and are more
convinced than ever, since he attempts
to secure place for his wife, that at
best, he is poor representative OF the
race. We recall his term as United
States senator. and the reason for the
fact that he made no record there, is
now very apparent.

Smuggling.

Put In charge of The Marshal ny
Order oi the Chicf Justice for
Smuggling.
Chief Justice Judd yesterday
afternoon issued writ of attach
ment, on complaint of Deputy At
torney-General Creighton libeling
the Hawaiian bark s. &. Allen for
smuggling opium. Deputy Marshal
Mehrtens served the writ, and the
vessel Is now in the custody of the
Marshal.
A preliminary hearing of the case
will probably be held tomorrow. The
proceedings thus taken by the Gov.
ernment were at the instance Of
Collector General Cleghorn, on ac-
count of sixty tins of opium having
been found concealed IN the perma-
nent structure of the vessel. Ac-
cording to the lava futile attempt
to change which in this respect was
made last session of the Legislature
opium found concealed in secret
place constructed in vessel renders
the vessel liable for smuggling.
Under this provision the bark G. ID.
Bryant was lbelled and condemned
two years ago, but the matter was
compromised by the Government and
the owners for large amount.

DEATH OF CAPT. BATES.

Captain Walter +. Bates died at

He was one of the most familiar fig
ures among the seafarers at this port
for many years. Coming here early

put in command of Mr.. Sorcnson's
schooner Wilamu running to Kona.

A NEW INVOICE OF CYCLONE
WlNDMILLS JUST RECEIVED.

A large number of Cyclone Wind
mills are in use in these islands, and
have given invariable satisfaction.
People who are using them will tell
what they do. They are rapidly dis
placing cheap steel mills on the coast
because the latter "will not do the
work required of an ordinary MILL"
The Cyclones are the strongest
are perfect self-regulators-the most
durable and have more wind surface
and will run in lighter breeze.
They will do more work in the same
wind and are the simplest, they have
less friction than any other mill and
require no care, except to keep them
oiled. They are made of the best
materials.
These mills are for sale by the Pa
cific Hardware Co., Id, Honolulu.

"AERMOTOROlOCY."

The man who wants a windmill
ufually looks around and investigates
the statements made 10y the dealers
in the respective mills. We are pleas
ed to recommend purchasers to par
ties who have AermOtors on their
plantations because we know what
the result will be. Thus far We have
not had n bad report from any of the
mills we have sold here; in every in
stance we have received the same
satisfactory expressions. When we
procured the Agency Of the Aermotors
we did not do so blindly; we felt that
il the machines were good enough for
the officials Of the Union Pacific
Railway they were good enough for
us. We saw hundreds OF places on
the line OF that road where wooden
mills were being replaced by the Aer-
motor. We thought it good indica-
ton Of which way the wind was
blowing and arranged accordingly.
There is not windmotor in existence
that will do the same amount of work,
last as long, or that can be bought so
cheap as the Aermotor. 1t is ridicu-
lous to say they will not last! Who
ever saw piece Of steel that would not
outlast wood in any climate?
The Aermotor has 50 many advan-
tages over other windmills that it
would require all the space in this
paper to set forth half of them and
as new features are cropping up al
most every day We can hardly keep
up with them even in the many
changes in our lads" We have con
cluded then to condense all the good
features of the Aermotors and express
them in four words, "They are the
best" and anyone who has seen an
Aermotor at work will agree with us.
There are SO many good uses to
which the Aermotors may be put that
they are becoming necessity on
every ranch and plantation. In
few months the question will not be
Chow many acres of cane have you,"
or chow many head of stock do you
own" but, Have you an Aermotor?
and the probability is that the answer
will be in the affirmative. It's a
pretty sure sign that the Aermotors
give satisfaction when persons return
to our store and buy second one.
