President. The convention at New
Orleans adjourned to meet at Memphis,
Tenn, 1891, and the delegates recogniz-
ing the faithful work of Evangelist
Mack, reelected him as their President,
in which position he continues to the
present day as the unanimous choice
of the convention.
Evangelist Mack is good singer, and
expounder of the gospel Wherever he
speaks, if the people know he is COM
ing, it is impossible to find house to
hold them. The Evangelist is a moral
man, and believes that all ministers
should be models of moral purity. He
glories in evangelical work, and he also
loves the organization in which he is so
highly esteemed. This organization
has cost him over two thousand ($2, ,0OO)
dollars since 1889 to place it on firm
basis. His lavish expenditure of money
to insure its success, is unquestionable
evidence of his love for the organiza-
tion. He is now earnestly engaged in
soliciting funds for the erection of the
building at Louisville, for the accom-
mediation of the national headquarters,
which, when it shall have been finished
he feels will be the crowning moment
of his life.
Evangelist Mack has, from his youth
up, been very industrious, He always
believed in saving his earnings and ac-
cumulating property, until he now
finds himself comfortable, and even in
independent circumstances. He also
believes that, in order to beoome iden-
titled with all the business interests of
the country, the young men ought to
go into business themselves, that the
ministers should be more earnest in
urging this matter upon the people
from their pulpits, and that they
should advocate and sustain the news
papers and other enterprises entered
into by members of our race.
Evangelist Mack believes in one Lord
one Faith and one Baptism.

poison BOTTLES.

A Canadian has invented a simple
and ingenious device to be attached
to all bottles containing poisops. 1t
consists of mechanism fastened to
the bottom of the bottle and so ar
ranged that every time the bottle is
lifted or moved it rings little bell.
With a deaths head for the eye, and
a kind of death rattle for the ear, it
seems as if accidents ought to be en-
tirelv avoided.

The Democratic party stands to-day,
with few exceptions, as it stood during
the days of the civil war. These ex-
ceptions have been brought about sim
ply from the fact that public opinion
in this day, illogical as it is at
times, would not entertain such in
human monstrosities as those that pre-
vailed prior to and during that memoir
able strife. These changes it can very
easily be seen were an absolute neces-
would unquestionably be the ultima
tum. Policy not party principles
brought them about.

Hon. John G. Spooner has a wide

so carefully cared for by his colored

The COlOred Citizens of Chicago are
Still dissatisfied.

The colored people of the city have
grievance against the management of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition.
Last night they gave utterance to it at
the Second Regiment Armory where
mass-meeting was held, at which George
Ecton presided, and speeches upon the
general subject of the negro's relation
to the Worlds Fair were made by S. l..
Williams, Captain H. G. Carter, A.
Ernst Knight and G. H. Shotwell, the
colored orator of New Orleans. The
speeches were indorsed by the audience
and their tenor was to protest against
the affront given to the negro race by
the management of the fair in not in
viting them as a people to make an ex-
hibit at the exposition and in not giving
them representation on the programme
on dedication day.
They have invited every nationality
under the sun but the negro people to
make an exhibit, and we propose at
least to put vigorous protest on re-
cord against such treatment" said a
prominent colored man last night.

Notice to Our Southern Readers.

When in the southern part of the
United States, we noticed that hundreds
of young colored women, who desired
employment as domestics, could not
secure the same. We also notice that
up in this portion of the country and,
especially, here in Milwaukee, there is
great demand for colored servant
girls. Any one desiring to obtain work
as a domestic, no matter where your
home is, write to us, at this office, and
we will make for you all arrangements.

GRAND JURY DISMISSED.
No Indictments or Presentments
Found Against the Street and
Water Board.

The Grand Jury was discharged today
for the term. During the present term
of court the Grand Jury found 202 in.
dictments, forty-seyen of which were
handed into Court today. The Grand
Jury made no presentments against any
public abuses. and failed to find sufficient
evidence to warrant the finding of in
dictments against public officials. The
vetoes of Mayor Wanser in connection
with the pay rolls of the Street
and Water Board. and the Lamp
Inspectors department had been laid be-
fore the Grand Jury for consideration,
and other evidence of alleged malfea-
sance in Office was submitted, but the
Grand Jury deemed the charges to be in-
sufficient to warrant any action by it.
The accusations against these depart
ments were dismissed.
When Sheriff John Whiskers Nc
Phillips sneaked into the court room in
his usual fashion today, followed by the
Grand Jury, Judges Lppincott and
Kenny were upon the bench. The forty
seven Indictments were handed to Clerk
Gritren by Foreman James c. CLARK, and
in reply to question by Judge Lippin-
cott, he said that the Grand Jury had no
other business before it. The Judge then
said:-

DIPHTHERIA ABROAD.
Four Cases on Railroad avenue
Quarantine Against Epidemic.

Residents Of Railroad avenue, between
Grove street and Jersey avenue, have
been thrown into state Of great excite
ment by the rumor that there is an cpl
demic of diphtheria in the locality in
which they live.
The rnmor is not without foundation
as an investigation reveals the fact that
there are at least four cases of this dread
ed disease, it not more, in the locality
mentioned. Appearances would 1ndi-
cate that an attempt has been made by
the health authorities to keep the exist
ence of the disease from the public.
YOUNG LADY FIRST.
The first case was discovered few
days ago. when young lady residing on
Railro ad avenue was suddenly taken Ill.
Medical assistance was at once summoned
and the disease was pronounced diph-
liberia. The lady's condition today has
not improved. High fever has caused
her to be delirious, and grave fears as
to her recovery are entertained.
The young sisters and brothers of the
young lady have been removed to the
home of a brother who resides on the
block above. On Railroad avenue, be-
twesn Barrow street and Jersey avenue,
three more cases are reported The suffer-
ers in all cases have but little chance of
given strict orders to the parents of the
sick persons to keep visitors out of the
aick rooms, and to prevent anyone from
kissing the patients.

CONSERVATION amongst the Railroad ave-
nue. residents, and several families with
children have secured apartments in
other parts of the city. The attending
physicians are ding that the utmost
care be exercised in dealing with the sick
people. Every precaution has been taken
to check the spread of the disease, 1t be-
ing feared that an epidemic at this season
of the year would result most disas-
trouslv.
The outbreak of the disease is by many
attributed to the filthy condition of the
Passaic water, while others maintain that
it is the result of the bad sewerage sys-
tenn. The health officials decline to dis
cuss the probable cause of the outbreak.
