by a score OF 4 goals to /. The hall w $
crowded, and standing room was hard to

ing was OF the %stiffest.
Both teams played hard during the
second half aud there was plenty of ex-
element. Brocktou's defensive playinr
was the best ever seen in Providence. IL

should not cage the ball, and one of its
goals was lost on fouls. Finally New
comb received the ball from Turnbull.
and by Il side drive saved Providence
from a shu out.

In fact the condition OF the colored
people within our State is about a.
good as In most other States. Rea
sonable provision has been made fol
the schooling of the children. an agn
cultural college has been established
for the more advanced students. and
all are protected In their rights to Ia
bor and to acquire property.
II they have not made the pro gres
their friends desire, 1t Is partly thsIl
own fault. They must learn to be
more industrious, more painstaking
more studious and more abstemiou,
and more proyident, before they cal
be more prosperous. When they ca
show superior wisdom, superior vii

chosen to public Office, but until thus

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26.-The report of
James NJ Beck, examiner in the famous
Sugar trust cases, is ready to file in the
United States circuit court. The proceed
ings were brought by the United States in
April, 1892, and were to declare the trust
invalid. The contention is based on the
purchase of four Philadelphia refneries
and the increase of capital of the Ameri-
can Sugar refinery by s25,0000Oo, with
which to secure the rciineries. The de
PENDANTS in the case included all the prom
inent sugar men in the country. The ex-
aminer makes no recommendations, hut
merely recites the facts in the case. The
report will be taken up in the court in
