] The young colored man who emptied
| the bucket of water went down stairs
| at about two jumps and disappeared
in blacksmith shop on the opposite
| side of the street About ten o'clock
last night he stuck his head up to the
little window in front of the headquar.

| The officer promised that he would
not tell.
One would suppose that when a man
| is to be locked up and deprived of his
| liberty that the prison keepers would
not have much choice as TO the charac-
ter or nationality of their prisoners,
| but his is mistake.
The men who guard the city prison in
Wichita and have charge of the men
| who are committed 10 their keeping
have choice as TO prisoners and they
draw a long sigh when the bell rings
below and a colored man is showed
through the narrow door by police
man.
This choice is not due to a prejudice
against the colored>race nor is il due to
any particular good traits of the white
prison. The difference is just here.
When white man is consigned to the
city prison he simply stays there and
eats the grub furnished by Shorty
and asks no questions for conscience
sake. The food is better in many cases
than he has been accustomed TO.
Unless he is accused of some henious
crime and the newspaper reporters call
on him 10 get his version ofthe affair.
the white man confined in the city pris-
on very seldom has visitor. 1t is diff
ferent with the colored man who gets
into prison. He Is no sooner locked up
than the whole. colored population
seem al once to become intensely inter-
ested in him and his case.
This anxiety to help brother in
trouble may be no discredit to the
goodness CT the heart of the colored
race but it is very annoying 20 the Of
ficers and for that reason they are try
ing to stop it

Morris Park Races.

Motifs Park Races.
New York, May 1l.-About 5000 people
3ourneyed 10 Morris Park today at the
opening races of the season in this state
under the new racing law and they were
well paid for their journey, for excellent
racing was seen.
The new betting rules were somewhat
of a puzzle during the first race, but
after that there was little trouble for
the men who were known placed their
money on the credit system and the
betting ring was a thing of the past.
Five went in the first race and
though Prumis fell at the last hurdle.
the jockey was quickly on his back
again. Lafayette led in the last half
mile and then had to be contented with
third place as Sayonara came up at the
end and won easily.
In the second race Hiawasse led for
two miles, Pat Oakley and lakewood
going we'll behind him until the water
jump, when lakewood got over nicely
but stumbled and threw his jockey,
Rowan. In the last half mile Oakley
came away and won easily.
The st. Nicholas hurdle handicap had
a good field with St John as the favor
lite at to ;, and Judge Morrow second
choice. The flag fell to a good start and
Judge Morrow at once took the lead.
None of the others seemed able to head
Redcloud. The two cleared the last
hurdle abreast. Morrow, however,
stumbled bit and finished second by a
length, both horses being all out.
In the New York steeplschaSe hand
