CAPT. RAMSAY'S DISCIPLINE.

How He Prevented the Planned Humilia-
ton of John Brinckerho jackson.
From the New York Times.
There had been only one cadet of the class of
's3 who had not joined In the rebellous spirit
of his classmates-John Brinckerhoff Jackson
Of New Jersey. He stood by military author
ity and lawful discipline, and for it YVES
crowned with the enmity OF his class and placed
in Coventry 1t is hard trial anywhere to be
in Coventry, bat especially in the arrogant
atmosphere of undergraduate life at the Nava
Academy. To all their acts of premeditated
disfavor the cadets had one browning indignity
for Cadet Jackson on graduation day. Then,
in the presence Of the superintendent, the Sec
rotary Of the Navy. the board of visitors. the
academic board and all the guests Of the grand
occasion, all other graduates should be ap-
plauded TO the echo, and when Cadet Jackson
stepped to the front TO receive his diploma the
chapel should be as silent as the grave, and
with this brand of disfavor upon him he would
return disgraced to his place.
Capt. Ramsay heard of the plot After the
battalion had marched in and the whole COM
pany Of naval and official dgnitaries had as
sembled on the dais and the guests were seated
in the chapel he arose and made some remarks
i'll a low voice that were inaudible In the bad
auditorium of the chapel. When the ceremo-
MES had reached that point in the program
where the first cadet stepped forward on the
call Of his name to receive his diploma a round
of applause burst from the cadets. Capt. Ram
say arose, black with rage, and said:
you young gentlemen cannot repress your
insubordinate spirit even in the presence of
your superiors. Every one Of you who APP
plnuded step in the aisle
Twenty-six cadets walked out into the main
aisle. formed in double rank. and, placed in
charge Of an officer. marched to the Santee
The ceremonies then proceeded to the end
without other incident 1t was discovered that
in that inaudible speech Capt. Ramsay had said
there should be no applauding. Some Of the
arrested cadets actually arrived on the Sautee
before they knew why they were sent there.
One gentleman. pastor of a church in Annap-
Oils, thought the arrest was part OF the pro-
gram, and only found out after he came out of
the chapel that he had been a witness Of one of
the most stirring scenes ever enacted in the
academy. Capt. Ramsay was appealed to, and,
order, he released the squad after an hour 9
confinement.

Hung Up rs u Witch.

There is considerable excitement among the
Zuni over the thumb-hsnging of an old squaw
The squaw. 1t is claimed, had injured the whole
tribe with her witchery. and one week ago the
governor ordered that she be taken and hung
up BY the thumbs FOR the evils that had come
from her black art prophecies. She was no.
without following and was cut down in opposi-
ton TO the commands of the governor. He Or
dered the men who cut her down arrested. but
the offenders had armed themselves and threat
ened resistance. Both sides are heavily armed
and a conflict was only averted Saturday by the
governor promising not to hang the old woman

Jane Savage, working woman in Lincoln,
England, while cleaning house last week, placed
her brothers small razor between her teeth
that she might have both bands free to take
down a shelf. As she reached for the shelf the
razor slipped half way down her throat. She
tried to catch her breath, but this drew the
razor SO far down that when a surgeon was
called he was unable to relieve her. She was
taken to the Lincoln Hospital and examined
Her throat was badly swollen, but the razor
was gone. Sunday she complained of severe
pains in her stomach and symptoms of acute
inflammation we're discovered Yesterday morn
ing, therefore. her stomach was opened The
razor was found, tightly closed, as when she
swallowed II. The removal Of the razor was
followed by the relief Of all pain. The woman

fully in three weeks.

REV. DIR. TAYLOR's PROTEST.
His Race Should Be Called "Negro," Not
afro American or "Colored.''

His Race Should be Called "Negro," Not
"Afro-American'' "Colored."
Rev. c. A. Taylor, DID,. formerly a member
OF the negro republican executive committee
of New York city and county. is now general
financial representative for Edward Waters
College at Jacksonville, Fla, and is on his way
south after tour Of New England and the
north in an endeavor to raise $500 endow-
ment for his college. His work is strongly
commended by Gov. P Fleming of Florida, and
other officials and citizens Of that state and
many of the leading white clergy aud organiza-
tons of the north indorse his work By resolu-
ton and otherwise.
To reporter he said: II am opposed to the
terms 'Afro-American' and 'coiored as en-
ployed by Mr.. Chas, A. Dana of the Sun and
the editor Of the Age. Mr.. r. 7. Fortune. The
term 'Afro-American' is misapplied. and hence
misleading from the fact that white people
born in Africa can come to America and marry
and have offspring which would undoubtedly
be Afro-Americans,' because of African
parentage born in America. Hence, you see
there can be white 'Afro-Americans' well as
black. Second, persons born in France. Eng
land, India. Germany, DC, Of African
parentage would be Franco or French Amer
lean. Anglo or English-American. &c. Thus this
nonsensical afixing and prehxing would have
to be carried on ad infnitum.
Tho term 'colored,' which means nothing or
anything. is equally absurd and misleading
from the fact that the Chinese. Siamese. Japanese
Indian. Indlamen. de-, are all peoples Of color.
In the light of this how will future generations
understand which race is meant when they read
the terms 'colored or 'Afro-American as desig-
mating a people connected with transactions a
hundred or more years previous.
Sir, l am negro, with big N. plain and
simple, and my race should recognize the term
negro as proper term designating people of
Hamitic origin wherever born, and SO live as
to make the term significant of proud and
happy and progressive of people.
Down with the nonsensical hybridisms
'Afro-American' and 'colored.' Negro that
is the proper term

Brooklyn Aldermen Regarded With Sus-
picon.
There was a rumor current around the Brook
lyn city hall ana court house yesterday that
several of the aldermen who had figured promI-
nenty in the arrangements made for the cele-
bration on Columbus dag and who had author
lied the alleged extravagant expenditure of the
city's funds had been indicted by the grand
jury. 1t is well-known fact that the mem
bers of the present grand jury have been
making an investigation in regard to the ex-
penditure of $4,000 appropriated by the
board and now, it is said, have succeeded in
eliciting sufficient evidence from the witnesses
summoned before them to convince the u that
there was some crookedness. for which some
body should be held responsible.
The big bill of Sll 900 or more for the grand
stand at the park plaza has been thoroughly
looked into and experts have testified that the
stand in question should not have cost more
than 81 500.
The lumber used on the stand went back. of
course, 10 the contractors. Ross & Co. Then
there were large bills for carriage hire refresh
ments. &c. for the aldermen and their friends,
and the inquiry into all the items has occupied
the attention Of the grand jury for several
days.
