NEGROES SENSIBLE SPEECH.

At the colored fair solicitor George
Ell. White. of the second district, made
an address. He drew a picture OF
the negro at the close of the war, re-
viewed the progress OF the race since
and summed up their achievements,
with the aid the whites had given
them up to the present time, He
asked his hearers to turn with him
and face the future and see what
their duty and possibilities were.
He said that the politicians and news
papers had spent much time discussing
the "negro problem" and that it dis
heartened some of their dreams vet.
But what ever the negro problem was
it must be solved by the negro
himself. At any rate the best thing
for him. his future condition and for
his white nei ghbor also, was to edu
cate himself, save his money, buy a
horae and become an intelligent, fru-
gal. and if possible prosperous citi-
zefs Let the negro problem be what
it may, this gould solve it. 1t was

AN ENGINEER SAYS SHE WILL SINE
IN THE GRUND IN 1898.


The German press in Chicago is
full Of the analysis of a German
engineer whe holds that Chicago is
doomed to destruction and will go
to universal smash in 1898. Accord
ing to his convictions the soil and
substrata of Chicago are incapable OF
carrying the colossal structures of the
Worlds Exposition He has figured
it cut that the weight of the Icontem-
plated monuments and buildings
must cause depression Of the ground
which will engulf the city and Elk.
position.
The engineer asserts that the &C
tiOn of the waves of Lake Michigan
has undermined and washed out the
soil efthe city SO that the stratum
of earth upon which Chicago stands
has thickness OF only sixteen feet,
and is consequently too weak to
carry the colossal exposition. When
the depression of the ground occurs
the city will sink to a stratum forty
feet deeper than the present surface.
and in this respect Chicago will
offer a spectacle never produced by
any other Words Exposition.
