ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF COL
ORED PEOPLE,.

Last year a number of the leading
men and women in the United States
met at Tuskegee, Ala, to discuss the
future OF their race and the best meth
DDS for their advancement. This con-
ference resulted in much good. Its
deliberations were published in the
principal papers of the world and the
work among the colored people was
given an impetus yet felt. The confer
ence will be held again this year and it
is already attracting attention, as we
see from the following editorial notice
in the Springfield Republican:
That admirable institution, as it has
grown to be, the annual conference of
negroes at Tuskegee, Ala, under the
management Of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute, will meet on
Wednesday, February 20. All Of the
states OF the "Black Belt' will be rep
resented. No more important influence
upon the future of the negro as an
American citizen, making good his place
in the service of the commonwealth
and for that reason of the greatest i'm
portance in the elevation and true
brotherhood of races-now exists than
that which Booker T. Washington
great school stands for. 1t carries out
Armstrong; principles and embodies
Armstrong; ardent humanity, and if
anything that is done on earth can de-
light the freed spirit the work of Tus-
kegee must make the spirit of Samuel
G. Armstrong rejoice.

SOME DEMOCRATIC newspapers are in
curing why the Republicans did not
increase che tax on beer. if they favor
that way OF increasing the revenue.
The answer ought to come without sug-
gestion. Under the Repub lican tariff
and administration the treasury always
had money enough to pay its bills. 1t
had no need to bother with income and
other forms of special taxes.

Fair Souvenir Hunters.

Fair Souvenir Hunters.
Stretched fat on his stomach on the
gravelly walk in the front of the east
entrance to the Mining building, with
bis nose within Z inch Of the ground,
lay a small boy the other day. Around
aim, says the Chicago Tribune, were
as subsequent investigation showed.
one brother, his mother, two sisters,
one cousin, one aunt, and one grand
mother. The brother and sisters were
scattered around in positions some
what similar to the youthful hero of
this story. Their noses were equally
close to the ground. The olfactory ap-
pendages belonging to the elder mem
bers of the party were as near to
mother earth as their half-squatting,
half-sitting posture permitted. Each
and every member of this aggregation
was busy-busy scratching gravel.
With infinite care every inch Of ground
was inspected, and every once in
awhile an exultant cry of ''got some''
from one individual would spur the
others on to renewed exertions.
One bystander finally went to the
small boy and queried:
"What are you looking for, son?"
"Gold," was the sententious answer.
Found any?"
"Yep.'
Slowly he opened his tightly closed
left hand and exhibited half a dozen
grains Of iron pyrites, worth about
seven cents a pound.
All Of which is but history under a
modern guise. When the earth gave
up it's yellow treasure half a century
ago many a man dug for gold and
thought he found it; many an ~aircastle
was wrecked when the bags of SHIN
mering dust turned out to be fools
gold"-iron pyrites. And there are
stories current in the far west that
when some of the castles fell they
buried their builders beneath the ruins.

In China those who wish for an

whereon the waiter dexterously pours
boiling water from a large kettle.

GENERAL NEWS.
Gould.s High Line u,,eh.

0O0lQ X4lkA LIN 0lIca.
WI Gould, Of the Lone Tree Ditch
Co. OF Radid valley. has had much exler-
fence in making and operating irrigation
bitches, and he makes the following esti-
mates OF the cost OF q ditch, appropli-
ating the waters ofRapid creek at Rapid
City and keeping on north side uf creek
until it has reached q point on the divide
25 miles east of Rapid City. The avail
able water is estimated at 1000 miners
inches, and he thinks that a ditch l6
feet wide on the surface, IL feet wide on
the bottom, and 3 feet deep, with a fall
OF 8 feet to the mile, will have capacity
sufficient to absorb the average flow Of
water OF Rapid river.
He estimates that about 1902 cubic
yards OF earth per mile would have to be
moved, at an expense Of 1Octs. per yarl,
would be $75O.2O per mile, or $18,755
Tor 25 miles. The area OF land that
could be irrigated by the proposed ditch
is placed at 27O farms OF l6O acres each
which would be enhanced IN value $40
per acre; and the total Improvement in
value to Pennington county farm lands
OF $4l2.O0O. The extra expense OF
building reservoirs in draws that are
crossed by the ditch is estimated at $40
600. making the total cost OF ditch $28-
755. Mr.. Gould expresses the belief that
the owners OF mill-sites in Rapid City
would ..%rellnguish their claim to water
rights and substitute steam as the mo.
tive power in their mills. as the increase
amount OF productiyeland in close prox.
unity OF Rapid City would greatly In
crease the milling interests.
The UNION invites estimates and the
discussion Of irrigation projects in ,te
columns.

The lCuticle 81 Thirty. Year-Old Nov !
Part 81 Corset Neckyvear.

~ Cuticlc 81 Thirty- Year-OM Nov
Part Of Corset Neckwear.
Just several siadesremoved from the
chameleon fad is the ilea Of wearing
snake skins for neckticr. the fashion
is growing in BaltimorS. It promises
to become quite the proper caper TO be
seen in immaculate morning suit Of the
latest London cut, with the tanned
cuticle of q three-foot reptile neatly
tied around the snowy .schoker'' collar,
or whatever other style Of linen neck
wear happens to be the rage. The fad
will never become generally violent,
says the New York Recorder, for fine
snake skins come high, and the crop
may thin out so as to let the West Vir-
ginians, who make a business Of catch
ing the possessors Of variegated outer
coverings, create q corner in the market
and coin a fortune. To be in the swim
nowadays, and have the swagger thing
in neckties, a Baltimore man must not
only wear a ~snakeskin, but the cuticle
Of a RATHER" Of about thirty ears Of
age. The peculiar color of the rattler,
when he has passed in his checks and
gone to snake celestial spheres, is what
makes the skin nor valuable than
when his fangs are still doing the
poison business at the old stand.
The necktie must be that of a snake
OF age, standing and family, for a
young scion of the house Of rattler
doesn't seem to possess all the quail
fcations as to color and durability of
hide the head Of the house can lay
claim to. Presumably it's because a
snake of three decades Or so has been
through about all the different kinds
of dissipation known to the reptile
world, and his physical hide is cogni-
zant of nc more conjunction than his
moral nature. Then an old rattler is
generally larger than a young chap,
and a tie about a yard in length is
bound to bring more in the market
than a whipper-snapper snake could
show before he reaches his majority.
No other kind of d snake indigenous to
this section of the country would an
swer the purpose half as well as a rat
tier, because but few varieties attain
his length and Falstaffian girth, ex-
cept n copperhead and black snake,
and their colors, while brilliant enough
during life, are not of the right shade
after the tanner has had his innings.
A copperhead skin assumes too much
of a dull brown to harmonic with odd
ideas in neckwear, and the black fell
low-well, his hide might answer for a
seedy individuals mourning tie, but
nothing else. The rattler's color, when
all the fight has been taken out of him
and his remains have been subjected tc
the process that prepares them for
mems furnishing use, is something on
the very dull gold or ecru order. The
black rings show distinctly and they
lend the odd effects that have so capt.
waited the swells. Then when a back
and lining have been put on the skin
the tie is ready for use, but they are
worth an even three dollars any day,
counting two dollars and a half for the
skin, which is the average price of a
rattler Of thirty years standing, in
Guiding all the trouble the catcher and
| tanner combined have had to take.

A Queer Fiah.


There is a species of fish in the In
dian ocean which have a very remark
able popularity, said a Philadelphia
naturalist. 'sThis fish is provided with
a short snout, which it uses very much
as a sportsman uses a gun. Swimming
close beneath the surface Of the water,
it watches the flies fitting about di-
rectly overhead, and having selected
n to it's fancy, suddenly thrusts its
head out of the water, and with un-
erring craftsmanship discharges sew
eral drops of water at its victim. Con-
fused, and with its wings drenched and
rendered temporarily useless by the
watery ~projectiles, the insect drops to
the surface of the water, where it is
gobbled up by its v%oracious enemy.
These fish are said to be able to bring
down a fly in this manner from the
height of two or three feet"

IMPROVING THE HERD.
All Evolution IN Dairy Cows Must Begt
with the Calf.


with the Calf.
Prof Thomas Hunt correctly says
that where calves are raised for dairy
purposes it is possible, by iudicious
training and feeding, to greatly in
crease their value. for all improvements
in dairy cows must begin with the calf,
and the first point in this is to procure
the best possible sire. No one has vet
fixed on the best COW for all purposes
combined, nor can it be said that there
is any best dair COW. One dairyman
chooses Jersey another Guernseys,
and others Ayrsi,ires and Holsteins,
and all for the same purpose; and each
owner will say that his choice is best
and will discuss without end the fine
points Of his favorite breed. No per
son can say which is the best COW for
any other than himself. and in improv-
ing his stock the owner of native COWS
can do no better than to choose the
best of these and then procure the best
thoroughbred bull he can, of such
breed as he may fancy. The improve
ment of his herd will begin right with
this step, and may be continuous as
lonS ~ ne stay : III tue puSthtNS- AhtiN
is not much danger of the average
daIrymaa getting tn a point where
no further improvement is possible.
When we find a man who thinks he
cannot make his herd any better than
II already is. we are pretty sure to
have man who is already on the back
track, for If improve ment does not con-
time, retrogression will be very apt to
set iu.-FarmerS' Voice.

Mr.. Allen has large stock of fresh
stories on hand and he always takes
great pleasure in entertaining his listen
ers by telling them. While they are
convulsed with laughter. his face is as
calm and serene as the countenance of
philosopher or professor of theology.
While the house, during its last ses-
sion, had under consideration what
was known as the seigniorage bill, Mr..
Allen spoke in favor of that measure.
but depressed to make few remarks
concerning a speech which Abraham $.
Hewitt, of New York, had delivered at
banquet, in the course of which Mr..
Hewitt had severely criticised the peO-
pie of the south. Mr.. Allen said: Il do
not think that any man ought to be
held down to very rigid account for
m after-dinncr speech at a banquet.
Why, sir. ] recollect not long ago |
went 10 a banquet in Baltimore where
everything was so good, where | was
surrounded by So many big rich men
that by the time my turn came to
speak / felt so well that ! addressed
them as fellow capitalists.
This bright saying elected applause
and laughter, which continued for some
little time. Mr.. Allen then referred TO
q speech which had been made in Bal
..gnore by Congressman Patterson. of
Tennessee, in reply TO ex-Mayor Hew-
tit, in which Col. Patterson had made
number of very Incorporate and
heated assertions. Mr.. Allen, refer
ring Ia the Patterson Hewitt speech,
said: Being aware of the influence
surrounding a banquet, if | did not
know of the abstemious habits of my
friend from Tennessee. / would have
thought on reading his speech that he
had gotten somewhat under the influ.
