Trouble With Tramps.
Mrs. A. Albrecht, who keeps a notion
store, was approached by two tramps yes
terday who demanded money. She re-
sponded that she had none for them. Max
ing some wild threats about burning down
the house they left and soon tried their
work on j. Gasengo, barber, who had
them arrested. They were taken to the
justice Court, and while the Judge and the
constable who made the arrest were out OF
the courtroom the tramps escaped through
the Iuryroom, running toward the hills
east CT Berkeley.

Silver and Wheat

! noted New York fnancier
writes the Herald as follows:
The Herald is fair and publishes
both sides Of the silver problem.
The journal that sets itselfup as q
superior in Intelligence to its read
ers insults the intelligence of its
readers.
The total domestic consumption
Of wheat is estimated annually at
334.O00.0OO bushels. Financial
experts, however, claim that this
consumption is reduced 60,0N,0OC
ycar owing to the scarcity OF
money.
The fact is that this country can.
not compete with the silver and
cheap money countries. The farm
er n Argentine gets about 9C
cents 4 bUshel for his wheat il

/ .ood wages and earn living
! When this wheat reashes the cOas

The Treasury Tronbles,


Cold continues to so out in lit

FOR the COY ernmbnt continue to re-
plact the Sums tnat are taken out,
says the Atlanta Constitution. -
'ffihrs ffihrs faE far; the receisership- plan
has acted admirably, and the re-
ceivers are to be congratulated on
their vigilance and activity, But
how long is it tolast? How many
more bond issues will there be be-
fore the government will be able
to meet its gold obligations and
rac receivers be discharged
We presume it viii not be many
weeks before another bond issue
viii be necessary, and the receiver,
ship will be renewed on the same
terms as before. The administra-
tons view OF the matteris that the
people have more confidence in the
Syndicate Of receivers than in the

Cleveland was compelled to sell the

Of Ebon Hue
SPREAD OF THE "CIRCLES"
AMONG ANOTHER RACE.
The Silver Cross Among Colored
Women in the South Is Accom-
plishing a Beautiful Work.

New Orleans, June 29.-At the national
headquarters of the Kings Daughters, No.
15S West Twenty third street, New York
city, there is kept on file a record of the
many circles of this great and useful or
ganiZation, which is wise enough to appre-
ciate the benefits of keeping in touch with
the workers all over this broad country
who wear the "Silver Cross" and who I'm
His Name" are striving to make kindlier
and better world.
In glancing over this list, in which no
State is missing, the attention is caught
by two entries at the end OF louisiana s
enrolment of seventeen circles.
They read thus:
Olive Branch, colored, twenty-one mem
bers; Mrs. Louise Lester, president.
Golden Rule, colored, twenty members;
| Emma Warde, president.
The fifteen circles representing the Anglo
| Daughters in the Pelican State" there be-
ing upward OF fifty circles in Louisiana,
forty seven of the number belonging to the
city of New Orleans. SO also the two col
ored circles registered form but n part OF
the Afro Americans, who, by virtue Of their
work, are entitled to wear the little'silver
insignia that tells of their love of and sym
patty for their fellowkind.
There are, all told, in New Orleans, about
six colored circles, three of Which have
been enrolled at the New Orleans headquar-
tiers, the two above named and another from
way down in Creole town, The Sewers"

before. Until the truff1es are mature
the dogs cannot find them
Just as in the case with mushrooms this
stage may be reached at any size TrUffes
have been obtainedtwO pounds in weightand
half that size is common; but the dogs some
times make as much fuss over one that has
ripened az tue size of pea as is created by
the greatest monster. 1t often happens also
that time is wasted owing to the fascination
exercised over dogs by truffle spawn. Is
appears TO smell like 1pe trUffles for they
scratch and whine over it, and VIII not be
satisfied even when their master opens the
soil, and lays bare the grayish wh hite,
mildewed-lOoHng earth.
Every time a truffle is found the dogs
stop and look at the pocket where the bread
is, in begging attitude, and do not begin
TO hunt again till after the repay" Food
is dOled out in the tiniest morseIs. and yet
before the day is over, though they s0u
mechanically ask for the reward, they cease
TO eat 1t. They are the most treless erea-
lures imaginable The assiduity Of one
in particular is extraordinary I have
seen her work from dawn until dark col
| lecting in that time nearly eight pounds OF
| truffles, and yet With as much brisknesS
| and apparent enjoyment for the last as for
/ the first. ''She has the brains OF a whole
| litter in ber," says the owner, graveIy.

connected with colored church. on Bienville
and Villere streets. This circle has q
roll of over thirty members, with L. j.
Isabelle serving as president
Among the still unenrolled in the city the
best known is the Cleaners" which
works under the auspices of Mount Zion"
church. This circle is reported TO be strong
both in numbers and i'll work accorp plished.
The movement has also reached other
parts OF the State. Monroe has a flour
ishing colored circle. Mrs. Louise Leister
and Miss Emma Warde, both energetic and
enthusiastic workers in the cause, have re-
Gently been invited 10 visit Baton ouge
for the purpose of organizing circles in
the capital city.
1t is now in the neighborhood of nine
years since the thought of the Kings
Daughters was first presented to the Afro
American woman, when the Rev. F. Chinn
organized the ''OIive Branch Circle" in
connection with the colored church over
which he presided. Afterward, under the
administration of the present pastor, Rev.
T. j. Johnson, it was enlarged until it has
reached its present usefulness. This use
fulness is not confined to merely actual
charity work, but the example set has been
an incentive to the formation of other cir
cles This circle, which has for its motto,
Have faith in Cod and for it's object,
Charity" has worked untiringly in the
good cause. Particular care is given to the
sick, poor, and decrepit, and those not able
to help themselves. In it's report of Work
occurs these words I'VE supply them
with the necessarieS of life, rs far as we
are able We make from 800 to 400 visits
month to the poor, and offer an average
of forty prayers month, and give over
thirty pounds of groceries a month to
needy cases, also giving from three 10 four
dollars a month"
When it is remembered that the majority
of these women, if not all of them, are
out at domestic service, at the same time
are housekeeping for themselves, thus be-

'Wait until you see. AL the other ap-
pointments."
The slippers and gloves were in one
box with the hosiery. sThe slippers were
OF yellow satin, with tiny rhinestone
buckles, and the yellow silk stockings
were embroidered in yellow roses, while
the gloves were of white glace kid-the
newest fashion, but ! do not think it will
be success.
The hats were largei 1eghorns, pic
turesquely trimmed with white plumes
and long, narrow buckles at one side.
These six frocks were made exactly alike,
and this shows artistic sense, for to have
two bridesmaids in one color and two more
in another, and so on, is a horror too often
perpetrated. The great trailing train was
swept across the cloth, and we saw the
bridal robe-a perfectly plain white dress,
of the heavy bride satin, as IT is called. 1t
was fastened in the back, and bertha of
rare old lace was sdrawnacroSsthes shoulders
and tied in q knot al the bust with short
ends, reaching the waist 1t was most
quaint, and / asked madame if it was not
an unusual wedding gown. Her reply
was:
Yes, but we thought it would be little
bit original to have MISS gowned in
this artistic way on the day of the wedding.
She is an exquisitely beautiful girl of the
English type, and the wedding will take
place at her mothers country place up the
Hudson The frock was absolutely I'M
trimmed, but one did not wish it other
wise. The veil was TO be of the same lace
as the bertha, both being heirlooms, and a
diamond sunburst was to tasten it directly
in front, but no other jewels were to be
worn.

tion,'' which, few years later, formed an
auxiliary composed OF the daughters Of the
members of the older association, and called
the Young Women's Benevolent AsSocia-
tion,' both of which organizations are still
in existence, and said TO be in a flour
isbing condition.
The colored benevolent associations (so-
cietiesl which are innumerable, are, a
rule, composed of both sexes, and have al
ways and ever for their object 10 extend TO
members the services of a physician in ILL.,
ness and a decent burial.
These cooperative associations are now
finding formidable rival in the ten-cent-
a-weck Insurance company that for the few
sous mentioned guarantee a certain amount
for funeral expenses. Being cheaper
mode than the society arrangement, it is
possible that in time the once-a-week in
surance agent may gather the store of
dimes that was formerly set aside for So
ciety dues. If SO, then the want of the
social element which the society furnished
through its monthly meetings, committee
visits to the sick and bereaved and funeral
professions viii tend to further enlarge the
number of the wearers of the silver
cross among the daughters of Africa.
