TO SPARE HIS DOG.
Being Brief Account of why Mr.
Goslington Took Up German.

Being a Brief Account of why Mr.
GosIington Took Up German.
'It will by no means do to assume,
said Mr.. Goslington, 'stAat because
dumb creatures do not respond prompt
ly to our kindness they are insensible
to it. This truth was brought home
strikingly to me once in the case Of a
dog once owned. That this dog was
not impervious to gentle treatment
was clearly shown by the fact that when
you patted it on the head it would wag
It's tail; thereby showing that it not
only understood the kind treatment but
that it was pleased with it all through.
But observed that when / spoke to
the dog when it was not looking at me,
it paid no attention. This was surpriS-
Ing, and at first rather disturbing, but
the dog seemed in other respects SO
kindly that did nothing about it.
"One day when a German friend Of
nine was visiting me, and when had
called the dog with the usual result,
1 asked my friend to call him to see il
he would mind him any better. He did
call, and naturally enough, being a
German, he called in German. To our
great surprise the dog turned and came
Ioyously bounding toward us. The
simple fact was that the dog under
stood the universal kindness Of touch
and eye. but the only spoken language
he knew was German, from which
country, as subsequently learned, he
had been imported only about ten days
before bought him.
THE only question now was whether
I should teach the dog English or
whether I should learn German. I
thought it would be easier for me to
learn new language than for the
dog, and that is how / came to take
up the study Of German. New York

WILLIAM PENN's STATUE.
Plan to Have It Revolve. and Thus
Face All Directions.

A Plan to Have It Revolve. and Thus
Face All Directions.
The dissatisfaction of the public In
general over the position of the big
statue Of William Penn. which sur
mounts the tower of the City Hall in
Philadelphia, may be overcome by the
Councils adopting unique plan pro-
posed by ]. Chester Wilson, the we'll
known engineer, to make the tremen-
dous bronze figure revolve, says a
Philadelphia paper. AS the statue
now stands it faces the old Penn
Treaty Park, the point at which Penn
landed, and the right arm is also ex-
tended in that direction. From the
entire southern section Of the city only
the back of the statue is visible,
while from the extreme east and west
only profile view Of PENIS features
can be obtained. When the statue was
placed in position. there was a great
deal of dissatisfaction expressed that
it should face the northeastern part Of
the city, but after it was once placed
on the tower the Councils and the
Building Commission ignored all prop
ositions to change it. Finally Mr..
Wilson conceived the novel idea that
the way to please everybody would be
to make the statue revolve, and at a
recent meeting of the Engineers Club
he explained his plan in detail. So inn
pressed were the members Of the club
that they indorsed the plan, and res
olution will be introduced In the Com
mon Council at the next meeting by
Henry w. Lambirth asking the city to
put the idea into execution. Mr..
Wilson's plan is to remove the statue
from it's fastenings on permanent
plane and bolt it to revolving plane
so that it will turn completely around
once in every twenty-four hours This
could be done, he claims, by system
of cog-wheels and clockwork, the pow
er being supplied by a central shaft
driven by electrical machinery. The
movement of the statue would not be
perceptible, as it would revolve with
extreme slowness AS an additional
convenience it is proposed to place
permanent marks ON the base of the
north, east, south, and west points, and
also on the revolving base, to indicate
the time of day. The suggestion is
made that these marks represent IL
o'clock midnight, 8 a. M, 8 and 6 p. m.
For the further convenience of the pub
lie, it is contemplated to illuminate the
statue at night by system Of cleo
tricity, SO that the time of day may be
discerned at all times.

DEATH TO HYPoCRITEs.

Civilization and society are SO inter
woven that the acts of men and women
have bearing upon the acts OF others.
The merits of society are judged by
its membership and character. The
purer it is kept the better for all.
Negro society is in its formative period
and people too often come to the hasty
conclusion that there is no distinction
in it's make up as to character and gen
eral intelligence. The conclusion is
not altogether merited. The fear Of
speaking of those who profess to lead
and be pure as the driven snow has
been the cause of many embarrassing
scenes This paper has no war 70
make on men. but it hasa war to wage
upon the hypocrite and those who use
sanctified offices for unholy purposes.
1t believes that the day has come for
plain speaking. 1t believes the day
has come for the separation of the
sheep from the goats 1t believes the
day has come for the separation of the
good and the bad. 1t believes the day
has come for making a standard for
the morals of men and women.
The illustration of what has taken

Nat Goodwin's Bicycle Bloomers.

In wide flowing bloomers, such us
many feminine bicyclists affect, belted
blouse and nobby cap, Nat G. Goodwin
sailed down Michigan avenue on
wheel yesterday as if in training for
the coming road race, says the Chi
cago Tribune BY reason of his pecul-
lar "get-up" he attracted more atten
ton than any of the scores of riders
who went flying along the broad.
smooth boulevard before, behind, and
all around him. At first glance specta-
tors generally exclaimed:
Look at that funny woman!'
Then, as they caught sight at closer
range of the comedians face and
recognized him, they were both
surprised and amused. Goodwin on a
wheel and in bloomers ought to be
fairly familiar to the people of Chi
cago by this time During his recent
engagement at Hooley's he was out rid
ing every morning and afternoon.
There is not a more enthusiast bicyclist
In the country. 1t has become his sole
hobby Whether in the lobby, cafe,
parlor, barroom, bedroom or dining
room, his friends say he talks of moth
ing else. He owns bicycle, and car
ries it around the country with him.

Showing How Critical Children soms-
times Become as They Grow Older.
'I used to have some credit in my
own household" said Mr.. Jorgleton, "as
a judge of character by minor indica-
tions; by handwriting and that sort OF
thing. The children would bring to me
letters from friends and acquaintance
and show me the superscription on the

and look at it carefully and presently,
begin: Well, the writer of this Is a.

and describe his or her characteristics,
and am bound to say that generally
got it pretty near right, as the children
acknowledged willingly and with Won
dering admiration.

that for some time-for two or three
years Then one day my eldest daugh-
ter, now grown to be quite tall young
lady, brought me an envelope to de-
cipher Honored by this visit after
that lapse Of time, gave an elaborate
and careful diagnosis.
What do you think of this one?'
she salu, handing me another, and
described that, too, and also third
which she handed me, and when / had
finished and returned that last one to
her, instead of thanking me with the
wondering admiration of former years,
she began to shout for her brother, a
youth grown lofty with the lapse OF
time, and when he had come they
laughed and laughed and laughed.
Whence these laughter?' I said, en-
deavoring to be funny, though really
didn't see any fun in it, and she finally
managed to tell me that the three sup
descriptions whose features had SO
carefully described as indicating three
persons of widely varying character
istics were really written all by one
person. Ha! ha! ha! and then they
laughed again with great delight.

sons handwriting, the not wholly
formed and settled handwriting, might
easily on one day and another, really
reveal all the characteristics / had de-
scribed, but they only laughed at this;
it was enough for them that had

the handwriting Of one; but why they
should rejoice over the slight incident

to think, as children sometimes do, that
they are smarter than their parents. -

to-day than they did three years ago.
There is more cohesion. Thost who
expect to have an organization work
in perfect harmony and accomplishing
the highest results in such a short time
will be justly disappointed. The work
of organization is always slow. The
formation of the great political parties
is an exemplifcation Of this fact.
Religious organizations have gone
through the same process. The same
rule of action will apply to the Afro
American Protective Association. The
Negroes of America have not had q
clear pathway in acquiring knowledge
and property and homes. These facts
necessarily retard the work OF organ
ization, when compared with people
better adapted and situated for the
arduous task of forming an organiza-
ton. The laboring men of the Unis4d
States constitute majority OF its
people. They are needed and used ir
times of war. They have attempted
time and again to form themselves into
a harmonious working force, but with
out success. III
In 1890 we had a Negro voting
population of nearly 1000, or total
population of nearly 10000. Suppose
an organization is effected that will
include the majority of this number of
people, will it not be a powerful engine
for the good of all. In the United
States we had voting population in
1890 of nearly 100000. Tie oppor-
tunities can not be measured If they
are organized into an intelligent body.
Kansas had in 1890, 10000 Negro
voters; California, $4,000; Colorado,
1000; Connecticut, 1000; Delaware,
5000; District of Columbia, $4,000;
Illinois, $4,000; Iowa, 1000; Maine.

New Jersey, 1850; New York, $4,000;
Ohio, 10000; Oregon, 5000; Pennsylva-
MIA; $4,000; Rhode Island, 1000;
Washington, 5000 The above figures
are given in round numbers and only
few of the principal northern states
are given. These figures will show
that the Negro does not realize his
collective strength. If such strength
was to be used to further an unholy
purpose on for the personal aggrand-
isement Of any one person we would
say disband. But as long as it does as
well in the future as it has in the past
it should live on. Success must be
gained by working. There is tide
in the affairs of men which if taken at
the floods leads on to fortune"
If the members and delegates of the
Afro-American Protective Association
see many things to regret in the history
of the past we hope they draw the
lessons of experience from them and
look to the future with radiant hope
and wisdom.

Rev. Caston's address at Cordoya last
week was replete with eloquence and
humor. He gave high endorsement
of Odd Fellowship and the necessity OF
reaching out for education. He said
that there were laws enough for the
protection of our people. What he
wapted was the strict observance OF
the statute laws. 4 tribute was paid
to our women and the fact plainly
brought out that no race of men can
rise above it's women. The flag and
the union soldier were kindly spoken
of and that the American people should
always remember their debt OF graft
tude to the defenders of the greatest
country on the globe. Rev. CASTOR is
good speaker and logical reasoner
and those who heard his address were
much impressed by his eloquence
