to be a vile of the devils. He said that
he would not, but for all that there was
never an OK lost, or a sudden death, but
he was consulted by those interested.
When he had been with US a year a

Things had not gone we'll with them
since he went away, they said, and now
the chief, his enemy, was dead. Old
Indaba-zimbi listened to them till they

sand into little heap with his toes.
Then he spoke, pointing to the little
heap. There is your tribe to-day" he
said. Then ne lifted his heel and

tribe before three moons are gone.

When I was at length ready to start

Petitions Being Extensively Circu-

Some New Men Put Forward with
Good Backing to FIJI the Forth

The selection OF three men from anon
them 70 serve on the board Of trustees of
the public schools is q matter in which
the coiored people OF the city are taking
lively interest. There are many candi-
dates for the places, and the friends of the
different aspIrants are circulating petit
tions in the various sections Of the city
and urging the coiored people 10 sign
them for presentation to the Commission
eB.
The latest aspirant for one OF the va
cancies Is DR.. John c. Norwood. His
friends presented the following petition
around the city hall to-day for signatures:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens and resi-
dents OF the county comprising the second
district for public schools, d.-most earnest
ly ask for the appointment OF DR.. john C.
Norwood as school trustee for said dis
trict, to succeed DR.. sbadd, who, we un-
derstand, will retire at the close OF his
present term of appointment"
Besides this there are petitions In circu-
lation requesting the appointment of DIR.
George w. Lee, of the Vermont Avenue
Baptist Church. The commission Will be
deluged with these petitions at an early
date, and many deleg gations will call to
urge the availability Of the several candi-
dates.
The present incumbents are ex-senator
B. K. Bruce, DR.. F. d. shadd and L. A,
Cornish. There are those who believe
that in order to avoid any feelings in the
matter, the Commissioners will reap
point all Of the present incumbenta.
Daniel 8. Murray, the colored member Of
the board Of trade, is being urged to be-
come q candidate for the place, and some
OF his friends believe that the Commits
sioners are friendly disposed toward him.
The petitions for the appointment of
the various aspirants are in circulation
at all OF the colored churches, and at every
meeting, political OF otherwise, the praises
OF the different aspirants are sounded.
There are those among the colored people
who think that the custom of petitionmg
the Commissioners Is wrong. as they think
that the Commissioners know the ability
OF the men.
When two trustees were appointed be-
fore the Commissioners were overwhelmed
by petitions and visiting delegations. but
