theatre saying somewhat emphatic
things last night which had been thrust
upon him.
He had not married the actress, he said,
and never entertained an idea Of a Van
Tassel alliance. lie had met the lady
last week, had been more or less in her
society, and that was all.

rAANKsnlvlNG DAY.
Business GsAeraliy Suspended Through
out me Eastern Country.

out me Eas, ern Country.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 25 The great home
holiday Of the nation 49, Thanksgiving
Day-was more generally observed in
this city this year than in long time
before. Business was almost totally sus-
pended, and the Stars and Stripes floated
over ths tops Of all public aud numerous
privat. buildings. The day was clear,
with a crisp autumn air.
In the mording, services were held in
nearly all the churches in the city, and
many New Workers turned their thoughts
from transient joys long enough to
attend the services and return thanks to
God for the blessings Of tne past year.
A feEturS Of the days observance was
the number Of parades By associations
and societies
Fishhorns, trumpets and long-aban
doned silk hats had been reBurrected for
Che day and the small boy did his best to
make a pandemonium. he was only q
trifie, however, when compared with his
elder brother, who posed as a ragamuffin
and cut up silly antics in the streets.
or course, the great attraction Of the
day was the Yale-Princeton football
game. 1t seemed as if everybody in
town was moving toward Harlem, where
the game was played, as If a new Okla
homa were about to ba thrown open for
settlement.
The sharp, frosty air impaired a spirit
to the football crauks, and they were to
be met on all thoroughfares decorated
with their favorite teams colors.

an OLD SCHEME REVIVED.

| From the Topeka Democrat.
The famous South American negro
| colonization scheme. which was organ
lied here eight years ago by John NJ
| Brown, the colored county clerk Of
Shawnee county, has been revived and
the organizers promise that the scheme
shall be pushed with all the vigor from
this time on. The organization is char
tered as the Kansas Freedman's Relief
| association and is differed as follows:
President, John NJ. Brown; secretary, S.
II. Winn treasurer, William Harris.
These are all colored men who have been
prominent in local Republican politics of
Shawnee county. During the time of
L. 2. McCabe as state auditor Brown
headed another faction and fought Nc
Cabe at every turn of the road.
Brown is enthusiastic in the scheme to
transport the negroes of this country to
Brazil. He says he has been in cores
pOndence with officers of the Brazilian
government during the past two or three
years, and that he has been offered every
inducement to go ahead and get the
movement started. He says:
1.-The race problem of the south can
never be settled with force bills. The
only way it can be solved is for the ne
groes to leave this country and go to
Brazil, where cordial welcome will be
extended to them as citizens on a COM
mon footing with the natives Brazil
will make forty-six states as large as
Kansas, and will support a population of
1000, 900 people when her rich lands
are under cultivation. The colored pop
ulation there now is greater than the
white. In round numbers there are
5000, 900 blacks and 5000 whites |
am surprised that the negroes of tie
United States should want TO remain in
this country in their present condition
when there is welcome to them to be-
come citizens and secure homes and en-
Joy the same rights as others, anywhere
between the line of old Mexico and Cape
Horn. We have selected Brazil because
the climate is best suited TO our people,
and for the reason that it is under re-
publican form of government"
Speaking of the cost of transporta-
ton of these people to Brazil Mr.. Brown
said: 1--WE can take them from any point
south of ST. Louis TO New Orleans for 50
as deck passengers, and from there to
the Brazilian coast for about S., making
the entire cost per head not over $40. 1t
will cost no more per lead to put them
on board ships at any point along the
Atlantic coast or Gulf of Mexico. The
present reciprocal relation between this
country and South America will aid us
very much in making the scheme sue
cess. In fact, the government should
aid us by equipping ships and carrying
these people there free in return for
labor there in gathering coffee, sugar in
crude form, hides and other articles
which could be brought back on the re-
turn trip"

ELUSIVE GAME.


Hunters In South America on the Trai
of the Tapir.
In the wilder parts of South America
you can bag Il deer or wild hog almost
any day, if you set wisely about il, but
months may pass without even the sight
of a tapir. though you may be in their
haunts continually You see plenty Of
unmistakable three-toed tracks, and
now and again you may hear tapirs nov
ing in the forest-not leaping through
openings between the vines and
branches as a deer does, nor pushing
the brush aside like a jaguar. but
crushing their way by sheer strength
with great cracking of twigs.
1t is almost useless to follow tracks
or sounds; clumsy as the animals APP
pear. they can race through the under
brush faster than dog can follow, and
they are SO keen of scent and SO prone
to concealment that even the most ex-
perienced hunter rarely catches sight
of one in the daytime, unless by acci-
dent The best plan is TO lie in wait
for them, as the lythe and crafty jaguar
does, by their drinking and wallowing
places, and this must be done at night
/ may as well add here that tapirs
are common all over tropical South and
Central America, except the thickly-
settled regions and the Pacific coast
Naturalists distinguish several species,
differing mainly IN size and the struc-
ture of the bones, but they are much
alike. All go singly, or in bands gen
orally of two or three, and feed on
fruits and leaves Nicholas.

Purcell Topic: Conductor Glazier of the
Santa Fe, who runs passenger train from
Wichita to Purcell, had strange exneri-
ence with negro baby. After Glaciers
train pulled out of Wichita he found the
child, boy about years old, neatly
dressed, occupying seat alone III the
ladies' coach with a ticket in his
pocket and card pinned to his
coat with Guthrie, Oklahoma writ
ten thereon. When the train reached
Guthrie no one showed up to take the
child, and the kind-hearted conductor
brought his young passenger on to the end
Of his run. On his return trip the kid
went with him, aud still no one called for
him at Guthrie, and at Wichita no one
knew anything of the mysterious infant.
At last accounts Conductor Glazier was
still hauling the child up and down the
road trying, to find its owners or some one
who would take it,
