NEGRO CHANGES IN AFRICA.
Bishop Turner Tells Of HIS 1r NE
Dark Continent. 20


ATLANTA, GA.-Bishop H. M. Turner,
of the African Methodist Church, who
has been in Africa in the interest of the
mission work of his church since Jan.
uary, has returned to his home in Atlanta.
Bishop Turner while he did not go to the
Dark Continent in the interest of the col.
onization of the negro directly, yet he
made that question an important part of
his observation. He comes back to this
country advocating colonization earnestly
as the great hope of the negro. He came
in contact with some who had gone to the
land of milk and honey, as 1t has been
held up to the colored brother by emigra-
ton agents from Georgia, and says they are
doing fairly we'll. Many of them are
prosperous. The Bishop, however, does
not believe in sending the scum of his
race to Africa, but he thinks the chances
for prosperity are best with the intelli
gent negro. Common laborers, he says,
can be had in abundance there for %
cents day and the negro in this country
could not compete with them. His idea
is to encourage the colonization or emf
grafton of negroes capable of employing
the natives and helping to civlize them.
The great drawback to emigration, he
says, has heretofore been the lack Of
transportation facilities, there being no
steamship line to Africa. This, however,
Bishop Turner is at work to overcome.
He says he is now negotiating with
European and New York capitalists to
establish line Of steamers from New
York to Liberia and says the outlook for
early success in the movement is good.
When this line is established, Bishop
Turner will lend his influence toward in.
ducing the emigration of the better class
of negroes from this country.

OUR WORLDS FAIR LETTER,
MIDWAY PLAIsANCE,

WORLDS FAIR, CHICAGO.
In my last letter I teld OF my visit to
the Irish Village, and of the textile ex-
hibits there. Pursuant to my promise
now give some statistics concerning the
Irish textile industry. This under the
oppressive laws of England was almost
extinguished: Recent efforts to revive
the fabric industry on the Emerald Isle
have been attended with much success.
The most prominent of these is the
Donegal Industrial Fund, which was
fcuuded in December, 1883. The initial
capital was ESQ; the bank, hope aud
determination; the motive, pity the aim,
redress; the object, industrial regenera-
tion; the founder and honorary manager,
Mrs. Hart. Using her own house in
Wimpole st., as her warehouse aud Of

up. Various knitting agencies were
formed in County Donegal, yarn and
patterns supplied and the goods sold in
London.

This ancient industry had, as an indus
Try, almost died out during the period
OF acute distress in 1s70.s 80; but the
people still made rough cloth on clum-

scarce aud there was no market for the
small quantity of cloth made. The m, t.
ter was t.ken up by the Donegal Indus

and revived. The women were trained
by means of itinerant technical teachers
in the arts of vegetable dycing and how

ent on Charity in Denver.
DENVER, CoL.-Two thousand hungry
mon were satisfied at the Haymarkct at
noon and as many more went away
hungry.
Now hundreds of men with families
dependent upon their excrtions have boon
compelled to seek Psrson Uzzel's and
Dean Peck's mission and sit with the
buns until food is passed to them.
These men are not tramps. They arc
men suddenly thrown out of work, and
their money is spent. They do not talk
unreasonably as rule.
They are too helpless for that. They
arc simply waiting and wondering if
there is to be an immediate relief. The
young men say:
1--WE shall go back East. There Is no
work here for us to do, and if we cannot
get work we will have to get our living
without work. We certainly won't
starve."
A Cornish miner stood at the Hay
market Mission, waiting for his turn to
receive bowl Of beans and half loaf of
bread.

and there is no work for u.s."
"Well, there is plenty for starving

A girl of Scotch birth walked all the
way from Colorado Springs to Denver

She was to get return transportation II
she was discharged at any time. This
she did not get, and she had managed to
reach Denver without asking assistance.

PARIs.-1ho reply of the Siamese
Minister ofForeign Affairs, in the name
of his king, to tho French demands is
couched in most courteous terms, but
Siam only agrees to give half the terri

the line drawn from tho most norlherly

gendered bitter controversy. From that time until lN74 little WAS added to hu- man knowledge of the southern frigid zone. when the British ship Challenger, under command uf Captain Mares of the royal army, duriu.; her voyage around tho world in th" interest og science. en- tered the antarctic circle and secured in tcrr~tin-E and valunhl, data.
 So far n+ k known human beings have never wiuirrcd inside the antarctic cir cle, and but two or three landings of a few moments duration have been made. But enough has been learned 10 show that the cold is much more intense and the ice formation vastly greater than iD the northern polar regions. Towering mountains covered with unmelting ice and snow. rear their majestic heights against the wintry sky, shutting out from human vision the wastes of land or sea and ice that lie beyond.
 To penetrate this forbidding region is the task that Dr. Fred X. Cook ot Brooklyn has set for himself. Dr. Cook was the cthnologist of the Peary cxpedi- tion in 1S9l-92, and his experience will qualify him for this hazardous under taking. He proposes to buy a steam whaler and fit her out for three years cruise in the southern seas. On the decks of the steamer will be carried two lifcboats One of these will be large enough to cross the stormy waters be tween the south Shetland islands and South America. The other, a smaller will be bull, for navigating through the | ice.
 As the seasons arc reversed in tine southern hemisphere, the months of De ccmbcr, January. February and March | will be tho season of exploration. It is Dr. Cooks purpose to sail from New York about Sept. 1, thence tN tho Falk land islands to replenish coal and pro visions From Falkland islands the course will be direct to Terra Louis Philippe, where he will leave tho larger lifeboat win provisions sufficient tC reach FalIAnd islands. to be used if hi: | steamer is lost His movements after | leaving Terra Louis Philippe will de 1 pend upon the condition of the vast ict packs drifting around the polar ocean al the mercy of the winds. His intention is to take the first opening and sail to tn, most south arly point attainable, where headquarters will be established and preparations made for the long antarctic night.
 It is Dr. Cooks intention. after the ob servatories are placed and winter guar ters completed, to make a detailed geo logical and typographical survey of th' surroundings, and meteorological ob servations will be continued for ont year.
 When the s6n finally disappears, al outside labor must cease, and systematic mental and physical exercise will take its place. With modern food the doctor feels no fear of scurvy.
 With the reappearance of the sun thu party will start south on the ice witt sledges and dogs, of which Dr. Cook ex poets to have 90. Scientific observation. will be continued along the coast, and al much of it explored as time will permit
 The opportunity is now open to Dr Cook to find q continent and solve tht last problem of exploration, and if Il, succeeds he will have added immeasur ably to our knowledge of the world.

Three Curinus Mor,Is.

Filibuster, freebooter and buccaneer are words curiously interrelatetl. The French and the English sea adventurers once made common cause against Span ish settlements ill the new world. and all three of these words came ill time to de scribe the rude sea soldiers who de spoiled the Spanish main and the towns upon the coasts of the Spanish posses sions. Filibuster is said to be the result of an attempt to make French word of freebooter. and the English borrowed it back from the French because it sounded less frankly brutal than the English word.
 Buccaneer was originally French in form, and it meant at first one who hunted the boucan or wild cattle and hogs of the West Indies; then one who made jerked meat of their flesh. and finally, because this meat was used tO provision the ships of the sea roverS. q filibuster or freebooter.-NewY York Sun
