THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

The 18th annual session of the
Afro-American Press Associa.
tion convened i'm the city OF
Baltimore, Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday.
There was more good and sub
stantial work done than there
has been for some time. The
papers were timely and sugges
tive and the members as we'll as
the people seem to enjoy the
many questions that were dis
cussed.
The local committee may
have misl1nder stood the respon.
sibility of making the entertain
ment of the members agreeable
as possible.
Nevertheless, when the citi-
zens got down to work, they roy
ally entertained the boys.
Of course it did not come up

HINTS To GIRLS.

Men regard "sweet simplicity,
as the greatest charm in wome1
and especially in young ladies.
Men do not admire the affected
air of boldDeSs ard manishness
which is being assumed by sc
many loveab.e girls.
Sincerely in expression is one OF
the characteristics that charm
men.
The greatest kindness which a
girl can do herself in the way OF
laying up future benefits is il
showing kindness and attention tt
the aged as we'll as the young peo-
pie with whom she associates.
The girl who is popular With
older people, and especially with
Older women, is on the surest t road
to success.
A girl tact and gentleness OF
heart ought to guide her in her
treatment Of persons who are un.
congenlal.

How Country Postmaster Saved a
Woman's Life.
Tacoma, Wash, July s.-Mrs Matte
Chambers, of Central1a, has received
In Internal machine. Her father says
he box contained the machine ad-
dressed to her by Christian church
minister, who was Tilted by Mrs. Cham
'ers about year ago and was last
heard from at Raleigh, N. @. A year
tgo the minister promised to go away
Ind not press his suit longer, but later
le heard the rumor coupling Mrs.
Chambers name with that of William
Hale, Of Centralia. He wrote her sew
ral letters objecting to Hale's atten-
ion. There was no notice paid to his
nisstves and the Internal machine ar
lived. It consisted Of a box made to
aold physicians thermometer with
piece of sand paper under the lid. A
Eliminating cap, parlor match and a
Dit Of rubber band were so arranged
is to ignite the match and cap and
cause a large dynamite bomb Just be-
heath the cover to explode when the lid
was withdrawn. The country post
masters curiosity probably saved the
voman's life, as he pried open the box,
when he saw the end of the sand paper

EUSTfS TALKS.


What He Has to Say on Various Foreign
Matters.
Paris, July S.-The Figaro this morn
ng publishes an interview with the
United States Ambassador to France,
James B. Eustis, in which he is re-
ported as saying that nothing has yet
been decided as to his candidacy for
he nomination for the presidency of
he United States
1.vsprClIng the Japo-Cn1nese war. Mr..
Sustis is quoted as saying that he re-
5retted the japanese had not taken
7ekln. The story of a secret treaty.
le AIDED, between Japan and the
Jnlted States was absolutely untrue.
. we have no treaty with Japan" he
continued, other than the arrange
nent modifying former treaties and
ven this does not come into force for
i've years. Besides, the United States
tdheres before everything to the prin-
iple of non-intervention In European
II Asiatic affairs
With reference to the movement in
canada to separate the Dominion from
treat Britain, Mr.. Eustis said it rest
"a entirely with the United States as
o whether Canada should or should
lot be taken into the confederation of
states. But the people of the United
states preferred to let the question rest
While at the same time saying to Great
Britain: No nonsense or we will an
lex Canada"
REGARDING the insurrection in Cuba,
nr. Eustis Is reported as saying that
American sympathies favored the in
iurgents, who found in the United
states, unknown to the government of
hat country, assistance of all kinds.
n conclusion, Mr.. Eustis is quoted as
aging: IF the insurgents can MAIN
ain the struggle for a year I am not
'ure that Spain will not have futilely
pent her money on costly expeditions"

EDITOR FORTUNE ELECTED.

Editor T. Thomas Fortune, Of
the New York Age has been
elected president of the Afro
American Press Association.
1t is hoped that editor Fortune
will eliminate every objectiona
ble feature in the press meetings
There has always been a dispo'
sition on the part of all presidents
to monopolize the time of the
Association by introducing Tom,
Dick and Harry to make speech,
eS.
The constitution prohibits all
such and if editor Fortune will
only confine the association to
editors as the constitution di-
rects there is no doubt but that
ic curse of time the Afro Amer
ican press association will be
one of the strongest in this coun
try.
Editor Fortune was unani-
mously elected at this meeting
and certainly he has the con-
gratulations and support of the
