First ocenn Steamship Rnce.

There are undoubtedly many men and wo-
men in New York to-day who went down 10
the Battery and cheered and waved their
hands IN greeting 10 the first steamship that
entered this port from Europe. This impor-
tant event took place On April %, 1888. and it
was doubly interesting and significant be-
cause not only the first transatlantic steam
ship came TO anchor in the harbor on that day,
but the second also. steam travel ACROSS
the sea thus beginning will a race that
was earnestly contested and brilliantly won.
Furthermore. 1t was q race that extracted IN
finItely more attention than any Of the con-
tests that have succeeded It. Two steam
vessels had crossed the Atlantic in years pre-
vious. both having started from this side. the
Savannah from Savannah IN 1919 and the
Royal William from Quebec IN 1881: but
neither of these voyages had demonstrated
the feasibility of abandoning the fine sailing
packets and clippers for steamers when 1t
came 70 q long voyage. The Savannah used
both steam and sail during eighteen Of

for coal in order to carry sufficient fuel 80 IN

sides'of the ocean where, IN 1897. It was
learned that two steam vessels were on the
stocks. building for the American service.
These were the Sirius at London, and the
Great Western at Bristol. 1t was
these vessels that made the first race;
tine Sirious making the trip, meas
ured from Queenstown, in eighteen and a
half days, and the Great Western in fourteen
and a half days. The Sirius, having had
nearly four days start. came IN a few hours
ahead of the winner. She brought seven

law, sab, he Jess did miss cotchin' me las
night. and | thought you was another" The
speaker, says the Washington Post, was an
ancient nanny" who in the last sixty-four
years had nursed eleven of her own children
and no one really knows how many
white ones. And in the mind Of every one
she had instllled her belief in night
doctors" She had been startled by nearly
running against q reporter of the Post as she
hurried nome about 7 o'clock last evening.
He reassured her that ne was no night
doctor, " but a plain, inoffensive citizen, and
as she left him he pondered upon the strange
superstition which. in spite Of thirty years of
comparative enlightment. still hOvers in the
minds of colored folks of the old school.
Though no one of them has ever been kid
mapped IN this way, most Of them have had
very narrow escapes. almost as narrow as
that Of old "aunty's'' yesterday, and every
one has had a friend disappear in this way.
The method Of their capture Is about as fol
lows, according 10 their belief: The night
doctor meets them in a lonely spot, and,
without a word. claps a peculiar plaster over
their faces. This stiles their cries and ul-
timately suifocates them. Their bodies are
then carried TO the medical college, where
they are dissected, and a valuable extract Is
made from the cOloring matter which makes
the darby browner than the white person.
That il why night Doctors on kidnapping
bent prefer the colored people particularly.
Where did this belief originate? Perhaps
in darker Africa in days when ancestors of
the race in this country were changed from
Africans TO Americans through the medium
Of the slave ship, mancle, and lash. The
more reasonable explanation is to be had
in studying the effects upon the colored peo-
pie in this country of the crime which gave
a new word to the MISUNDERSTANDING"
