~======zsa===" Opinions DI the Press,

WILL CERTAINLY ATTRACT ATTENTION
WHEREVER IT GOES:
The trade edition of the FlSu~
ERMAN & FARMER, published ct
EdentOn, North Carolina, has
found its way thus far North,
and will certainly attract atten-
ton wherever it goes. 1t is hand
solnely illustrated and full Of his
torical and other facts regarding
that interesting and at present
flour1shing old town. The first
settlement of that vicinity was
about 1858, and the courthouse
still standing was built i'll 1871.
TO Olioans all interesting point

THE NEGRO COLONISTS.

More news of the distressed
negro colonists from Georgia and
Alabama, who deserted their
Mexican Eldorado, has been re
ceived at The State Department
in telegram from Jesse w.
Sparks, United States Consul at
Piedras Negras.
Mr.. Sparks says that 4o ne
groes are quarantined at Eagle
Pass by the Texas authorities.
They were brought across the
Rio Grande by Mr.. Sparks On
Friday night. Twenty-Five are
i'll with SMALLPOX at Torreen,
eight seriously. The local au-
thorities at Torreen announced
that they could no longer 1nain>
tain the negroes, and Mr.. Sparks
says all the we'll ones, numbering
80, would arrive at Piedras Ne
gras. He intended to send "a
tons to the sick ones who re-
manned.
Mr.. Sparks called attention tc
the praiseworthy conduct of l.
M. Johnson, general manager Of
the Mexican Central Railroad
who is feeding the negroes il
Mexico at his own expense.

HELP YOURSELF.

Fight your own battles. Hoe
your own row. Ask no favors
of any one, and you will succeed
a thousand times better than one
who is always beseeching some
ones influence and patronage.
No one will help you as you help
yourself, because no one is 50
heartily interested in your af>
fairs. The first step will be such
a long one, perhaps; but, carving
your way up the mountain, you
make each one lead to another,
and stand firm while you chop
still another out. Men who have
fortunes are not those who have
had five or six thousand dollars
given them to start with, but
boys who have started with a
we'll earned dollar or two.
Men who acquire fame have
never been thrust into popular
ity by puffs begged or paid for
or given in public spirit. They
have outstretched their owl
hands and touched the public
heart. Men who win love d.
their own wooing: and | neve
knew a man to fail so slgnally a
one who induced his afectlonat
grandmother to speak a goo'
word for him. Whether yo1
work for fame, for love, TO
money, or for anything else
work with your hands and hear
and brain. Say 81 Will an
some day you will conque'
Never let any man have to say
81 have dragged you up 10
many friends sometimes hurt
man more than none.-EX.

Health department officials have started
two prosecutions under the dairy law, which
was passed in March of this year, and the
trials of the cases will be the means of get
ting a judicial opinion on the rules and regu-
lations made by the health department I'M
der the law. The warrants swore out. in the
Police Court today were issued on the oath
of Inspector Beaumont, and charge Ford &
Graham, lunch room keepers at 600 10Th
street, and Frank P. Davis, whose lunch
room is al 905 F street, with keeping diaries
without the required permits
1t is thought likely that the law will be
tested in these cases, as the defendants con-
duct what are known as dairy lunch rooms
and not what are ordinarily known as dali
ries.
The warrants issued against the parties
mentioned will be given to the police tomor-
row, and the cases will probably be heard
next week.

Postpone Eviction of the Farmers.

Postpone Eviction of the Farmers.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t was with great pleasure that I read
your editorial in last evenings Star about
the market question. The Commissioners.
If they persist in their order to evict the
small market gardeners from their present
position, are not only hurting a poor but
deserving class of people, but are doing
an injury to every patron of the Center
market. This order also comes at a time
when the market gardeners are least able
to stand any setback in their business.
The season through which they have Just
passed has been an exceedingly hard one on
all growers of vegetables. The dry wealth
of the latter part of July, all of August,
and September. has made the crops of these
people very short; this, connected with the
prevailing hard times, has been very dis
tressing to this class of farmers. / am in
formed that the custom of selling on the
outside of the market has been in existence
for more than fifty years. For this reason
l cannot see why this undue haste at the
present time, especially at the beginning
of the bad weather. This market is attend
ed principally by women, and / know that
a matter of choice but by force of neces-
sity. In other cities / know that every ia
cility and encouragement is offered to this
class of people. They not only keep up
healthy competition of trade in their line.
but they spend at once much of their
money among the trades people in other
lines, SO that the city is benefited by their
coming. 1t is my opinion that this order
should be held in allegiance until some place
can be constructed that will give them pro-
lection from the weather. l should like to
see that the board of trade had taken this
matter under their consideration; believing
if proper influence is brought to bear on
those in authority, they may see that it
would 10 no hurt for d short time longer
to let this matter rest.

CARSON DENIES 1T.

An UnfOunded RumOr to a Com
binatiOn With Gleason.
A rumor has gained currency among a
number of republicans in this city that
there has been an agreement between Mr..
Andrew Gleason and Mr.. Perry Carson to
the effect that they would jointly represent
the republicans of the District of Columbia
at the national republican convention. It
has been asserted that Messrs. Gleeson and
Carson will work together to this end. To
a Star reporter today Mr.. Carson denied
this rumor, saying: There is not word
of truth in that rumor. 1 have not talked
with Mr.. Gleason or any of his friends on
politics for nine months, and the first sug-
gestion / have had of a combination of this
kind came to me through this rumor."
