the country is being almost denuded
of young men, that young women
for domestic service are becoming

population. Chairman Grosvenor,
of the commission recently appointed

THE AGE OF CONSENT.

The Arena for June says "Anoth-
er victory for womanbood and Pu-
rity. All honor to Wyoming! The
Youngest State in the Union de-
serves another chaplet. Besides
leading the van IN the sistarh0od Of
States in granting woman full and
free suffrage, the past legislature
has raised the "age Of consent to
eighteen years. 1t IS & significant
fact that the two States in the In
ion in which woman figures as a
prominent factor, Wyoming and
Kansas, are the only States which
are not disgraeed by laws placing
the ''age of consent" below eighteen
years. In nine States the age Of
consent to their own ruin for girls
is only ten years. 1t is needless to
say that men govern with supreme
power in these States. Yet we are
fold that it would be dangerous to
grant woman full suffrage. Yes, it
would be dangerous for the moral
lepers, human iackals, and social
vultures. But for womanhood, for
manhood, for progress and true civ
ilization it would be the grandest
victory of the century"

THE PENNINGrON AIR SHIP.

The model of the Pennington air
ship, which is 21t feet long, five and
q half feet in diameter and weighs
thirty-fve pounds was recently
tested in St. Louis and of it the Re
public says:
''The model has lifting capacity
of forty-one pounds, and Pennington
says has attained a speed of thirty
miles an hour. The model itself is
constructed of oil silk on a frame of
hollow tubes of aluminium, which
are filed with hydrogen gas and
plugged at the ends SO that their
weight is practically nothing. The
trial of the model last evening was
pronounced by the gentlemen pres
ent a success. 1t was clearly dem
monstrated that the model steered
and propelled itself. It is claimed
to be the only aerial craft ever made
that accomplished these feats. The
model was propelled by screw at
tached to the front of the machine,
and worked by a small dynamo at
tached to the lower side, which
weighed three and one half pounds
and was fed by wire from batteries
on the stage The model circled
gracefully around the large hall, its
direction being changed from time
to time by the rudder arrangement
being turned by Mr.. Pennington
or one of his assistants"

DEATH oF P. j. CAKES.

Died, at his residence in Colum-
bus, Texas, May 29th, 1891, Capt.
P. J. Cakes.
Deceased was captain of Go. A,
5th 7. N. v, Green's Brigade and
was a gallant and fearless officer,
kind and indulgent to his men, at
the same time firm and exact in dis
cipline. AS an officer and as man
he won the esteem and good will of
all with whom he came in contact
and was a universal favorite with
the regiment.
At the reunion of Green's Bri-
gade, held in Brennan, February
21st, 1891, he was elected President
of the Association by the unani-
nous vote of the members, for the
ensuing year. He was an enthusi-
astic worker and always put his
whole heart into whatever enter
prise he undertook. Verify a good
man has gone to his reward. To
his good wife and loving children
the BANNER tenders its coincidence
in this hour of their sad bereave
ment.

WHAT THE NEGRO SHOULD DO.

Bailey's Free South, a paper pub
lished at Fort Worth in the interest
of the colored people, which is demo-
cratic in politics because it believes
that the interest of the colored voter
will be best subserved by adhering
to the principles of Democracy,
closes an editorial on what the negro
should do as follows: 'Let the
Negro educate his children and ac-
cumulate property. These are the
great needs of the race. The race
needs thoroughly prepared business
men. Let US look upon and regard
politics only as a means to an end.
Let US eschew all political blood
suckers, whether they are of the
race or not. Let US, if possible,
live in peace with our Brother in
White, considering what is his inter
est is ours also. Let the dead past
bury its dead. Elevate our sons
and daughters for whom we have
toiled for years to educate, when
possible, to positions of honor, trust
and emolument. Keep pure the
sanctity of the home, Keep men of
easy virtue, drunkards, and charac-
tiers guilty of almost all other vicious
deeds away from our daughters and
out of home. Purify the home, the
pulpit, church, politics, the school
room, and practice economy and ac-
cumulate wealth. Then the Negro
will be on the upward road to pros
perity and success, and will be in a
position to be regarded in the galaxy
of true citizenship.

This storm wave belongs to 8 pe1iod
Of very dangerous storms that IL
cIudes all the month OF June, More
especially from S tn to 23d. Of the
three principal storm waves ! am
not able to determine at this time
which will prove the most disastrous,
but l may be able to give more de-
finite information in my next letter.
I feel very sure however that this
storm wave of the 7th to 18th viii
be of unusual force and with the
two that will follow it will constitute
a notable period Of destructive
storms. Not only in the United
States but all around the earth.
There will be number OF these
storm periods during the year, some
of which will spend their principal
force in the United States, while
other will have greatest energy in
other countries.

SUB-TREAsURY SCHEME.

At Bonham Saturday sub treasury
Tracy and Congressman Culberson
discussed the sub-treasury scheme:
Mr.. Tracy opening the discussion,
said: Il am pleased to stand before
you to-day to represent a cause
which 1 count as Democratic. I am
a Democrat, have always been a
Democrat and never voted anything
but Democratic ticket"
Mr.. Culberson, replying, said that
the sub-treasury was unconstituion-
al; that it was purely class legislation
of the worst sort, that it was gotten
up by five republicans and passed at
the st. Louis convention and was
nothing but republican. measure,
more vicious than high tariff; that it
would be a pretty spectacle to see
this grand country turned into a
pawnshop and barn for the neces-
saries of life. He said that the
Gibbs bill was worse than the sub
treasury.
