NEGROES FOR CALIFORNIA.
Effect Stanford's Colonization Plan Would
Have on Politics.

Eject Stanford's Colonization Plan Would
Have on Politics.
New York Telegram.l
'Senator Leland Stanford's scheme for
securing 80, 900 negroes from the Southern
States and transferring them to California
is creating considerable excitement at
home,' said Frank D. Palmer, prominent
fruit raiser of Los Angeles at the Plaza
Hotel 'It would be the best thing that
ever happened the negroes and also mighty
good thing for Southern California The
negroes are, and must necessarily be for
years to come, agriculturists. They are fond
of the open air and such childish amuse-'
ments as prevail on the farm. Then, again,
the negroes can stand the sun better than
people of any other race, and although they
have been noted for their shiftlessness, I
think if they were given fair chance to
own land, they would work steadily and try
to improve their condition.
'Senator Stanford is working heart and
soul, with enormous capital to back him, to
carry out this scheme, and if he lives few
years longer 1 think you will see an
enormous tide of emigration from the
Southern States would do away with the
great bugbear of negro supremacy in the
South. The two great political parties
would then have to fight for the Southern
states as they now do for those in the North
and West. This fact would at once give
the Southern states great political power,
and that given, would compel Congress to
give them more favorable legislation. May
Senator Stanford soon carry his scheme"

Secretary Macpherson Talks About Foot

ball and VIII Call Meeting.
George Macpherson, the Secretary Of the
local football League, has returned from his
visit to England and Scotland. He intends
to call meeting of the League next week to
submit q full statement of the Leagues
affairs for last season. At the meeting
officers for next year will be chosen and
other important business will be transacted.
During a conversation yesterday, Mr.. Mac
phersnn said: 81 had interviews with the
secretaries of the Scottish Football Associa-
tion and Scottish Football League while in
Europe and got copies of their Constitu-
tions and lots of other valuable information.
/ showed them our constitution, etc., and
was complimented on the headway we had
made for the first year of our existence.
Il certainly think this will be great year
for football in Pittsburg and district. Clubs
are springing up everywhere, and it is yet
difficult to say whether we will limit the
league to a certain number of clubs or
whether we will have it on the English and
Scottish cup tie system. That is admit all
the clubs into the league who make applica-
tion if they are within reasonable distance
of Pittsburg. Put them all in hat and
draw them out. is fairest. The winners to
be drawn against each other again and so on
till only two remain to play the final game.
Personally, think the latter plan is the bet
ter one if we could get, say Is clubs to enter,
and don't see why we can't get that num-
Der, or even more. My reasons for being in
favor of this plan are:
s.First-That it will be more satisfactory to
all the clubs concerned and cause no bad
feeling, as was the case last year, by clubs
being left out.
second - Because the weather in this
country is not so favorable for long season
as 1t is in the British Islands. BY this plan
we could give them certain time to play off
each round. and they could arrange to play
off friendly matches among themselves if
they wanted to. Most of the clubs last year
obj ected to playing league matches every
Sa turday, as it gave them no chance to ar
range game on their own account. Alto
gether, think this would be much the bet
ter plan"
All teams wishing to join the league next
season are requested to forward their names

Douglass had commenced on his fourth

requires an examination of the treasury

the treasurer enters upon his duties, but
the law was not observed.
The law requires that the Township Treas

SHE FED THOUSANDS.
Apple Mary as Much a Feature as the At
torney General

Apple Mary as Much a Feature as the At
torney General.
New York Times.1
"Apple Mary" has become as much of
feature of the General Sessions as the
Judges and the District Attorney. Her
name is derived from her vocation-that of
peddling apples in the courtrooms. She
peddles bananas, too. She has fed thou
sands of prisoners from her basket, and
Judges and jurors often patronize her. For
many years she has done business in the
courtrooms and corridors Rumor has 1t
that Mary owns two houses in the Fourth
ward, bought with her savings, but she
strenuously denies this. Every Christmas
the Judges buy apples of her with bills in
stead of with nickels.
Once when Judge Gildersleeve was on
the bench, he nearly frightened the poor
woman to death by having a court officer
bring her to the bar and tell her that she
had been arrested as common scold. Being
of a CHEEKY Irish nature, always smiling,
Mary was dumfounded and nearly fell in q
faint The Judge proceeded at once to
sentence the scared woman, fning her $40.
This amount he then presented to her as
the gift of the Judges and Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys and court clerks. Mary
never forgot her experience at the bar,
however. and no one can bribe her now to
approach the rail when court is in session.
