NEGROES UNDER NORTHERN
CONDITIONS"

In the January number Of Gunton' S
Magazine. which is published In New
York. fad an article under the above
caption. which is a study of the negro
in a typical northen town-Carlisle,
Pa.-which was selected as a point OF
research because it offers both urban
and rural conditions, where the preju-
dice against the negro was slight, ii
existent. at the time of his settlement,
and where the present negro popula-
tion is composed almost entirely Of eX-
slaves or their children"
The facts and figures presented in
this article are simply astounding,
even to a Southern reader. | will not
try TO summarize them many of them
YOU would not print-but will simply
quote the concluding three paragraphs
of the article:
Fin nine cases out Of ten advanced
education is a positive detriment to the
negro and it will be, not only as long
as the educated colored man feels too
proud to work at manual labor, but as
long as the present race discrimination
exists and the negro fails to accept his
isolation; as long as, practically, all
professional employment, say the min
istry. and some few positions as teach
ers. are closed to him. He cannot find
employment as clerk, or shop-hand--
to him only manual occupations are
open. The discrimination in this town
becomes more and more rigid Not
only are the avenues to the higher
forms Of labor closed, but he is not
wanted BY white churches as a mem
Der: if he goes to those as a worshipper
he finds himself assigned to the back
seats Of the meeting house. Tn the
court house lie is restricted to certain
seats. and this by the ruling Of a Re-
publican Judge; he cannot obtain en-
tertainment at leading hotels, not be
shaved in barber-shops patronized by
whites: and these instances are but
few of the many
'.The white population Of Carlisle
respects the older negroes, for they, as
rule. are polite, hardworking citi-
zens, but it is weary of the younger
generation. Eighty per cent Of ne
groes born since 1866 are worthless,
nsolent loafers, immoral, criminal a
sorrow to their parents and a curse to
the community.
These are the main facts which

HON. GEORGE DAVIS
HON. A. n. GARLAND'S TRIBUTE
TO HIS MEMORY.
A Strong and Lucid Debater--A Calm,
Conscientious and Wise Adviser
--Duty His Pole Star.

Washington, d. c., Feb. a.
Editor Morning Star, Wilmington,
N. c.:
Dear Sir.-It is with undisguised
pain / hear of the death of my dear
old friend, the Hon. George Davis, so
long a universally respected and high
ly valued citizen of your city, While
he lived quietly and happily to the
ripe age of seyenty-six, a period be-
yond that allotted to man on earth, yet
those who knew him well can but
grieve that he has passed from among
us.
As one who was with him in dark
days gone by, and as one who admired
him the more he was with him, l hasten
to pay to his cherished memory vol
untary and sincere tribute, though
hurried upon the first moment of
hearing of his death
He and [ served together in the Con-
federate States Congress, and we were

of measures before Congress-; and

TWO MONEY MAKERS.
Bill Nye and Henry Ward Beecher Max
ing Big Money and Saving It.


Joe Howard, Jr., says in the New
York Recorders when Henry Ward
Beeeher was in the vicinity of sixty
years Of age he resolved 10 save money
enough to build beautiful home in
Peekskill up the river Beecher was al
WAYS a money maker, but not a money
saver. 1t will be remembered that
Robert Bonner paid him $4,000 for
his story Of Norwood in the New
York Ledger, but that was many years
before ne determined upon the enter
prise referred to. Steered by Major
Pond, the great preacher delivered
1.214 lectures, for which Pond paid
him S242. 000, and | remember to have
seen it estimated that his income dur
ing his forty years of service in Brook
Nn. from 1s47 to 1887, was in the
vicinity of 81, 500, 900. This is probably
under rather than over. As we all
know, the good old man had his wish,
for ne built and lived in as charming
a home as can be found in any of the
picturesque places on the banks of the
lordly Hudson. That it passed into the
hands Of strangers when he died has
nothing to do with the case. Bill Nye
was not as old as Brother Beecher
when the idea of saving money for q
purpose entered his quicl-brained
head. When | met him he was aver
agin $50 a week. Lated on he was
good for 5000 to $4,000 a year"
Mr.. Howard neglected to say that
Bill Nye saved his money and built q
charming residence among the noun
tains of North Carolina. Let rs hope
that. like Beecher's, it will not go out
of the hands of his family.

Ganinger Looking for Reelection.

CONCORD, N H, Dec 31.--United States
Senator j. II. Gallinger has returned to
his home, in this city, to look after his re-
election, which will come, he says he feels
sure, by the unanimous voice of the Re-
publican senatorial caucus. He does not
expect to return to Washington for two
weeks at least. Senator Gallinger said he
had no doubt that the Cameron Cuban
resolutions would pass the senate before
March 4, "If the Cameron resolutions
should pass congress over a presidential
Veto" said the senator. "and the president
should then refuse to act upon them, he
would subject himself to Impeachment"
Senator Gallinger was equally confident
that tariff bill would be passed at the
extra session.

WHOLE FAMILY ASPHYXlATED.
Two Children Dead and the Mother viii
Probably Die.

New YORK, Dec. 31.-A family of four
persons were asphyxiated Mt their home in
the northern portion OF this city yester-
day. Two are dead and another is likely
to die John Lichtenberg, cloakmaker,
his wife Lizzie, and their two children,
Willis, % months old, and Jacob, IL weeks
old, comprised the family, who occupied
four rooms at the rear Of Acker's Port
Morris hotel.
When Lichtenberg was missed from his
bench yesterday messenger was sent to
his rooms to learn the cause There the
two children were found dead and the pa
rents unconscious. The physicians who
were called decided thatasphyxiation was
the cause and that Mrs, Lichtenberg
would probably die. The origin of the
noXious gas, however, has not been dis
covered.
In the room where the family slept an
oil lamp was burning, smoking, and there
was fire in the coal stove, but those who
first entered the place could detect no odor
OF coal or illuminating gas, Just outside
of the building, however, there were two
large gus &olders, belonging to the Cen
tral Gas Light company, and it is possible
that sufficient gas escaped from these
tanks to find its way into the poorly con-
structed building and accomplish the mis-

Fucker Brought Back from Sing Sing.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Justice Pryor
granted writ of habeas corpus Tuesday
night in the case of Isaac Fucker, the con.
victed firebug, sentenced to Sing Sing for
thirty-six years for arson. The document
was served upon Warden Sage in the Sing
Sing prison yesterday and Zuckor was
brought back from there in the afternoon,
his hair cropped and his mustache shaved
off, and placed in the Tombs. The case
promises to involve aquestiJn of contempt
of court. Before Fucker was started on
the road to Sing Sing the papers issued
by Judge Pryor, granting a stay on the
ground of reasonable doubt, were served

No district in America presents during the
Winter season, so many Varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
and unhealthful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is pre- eminently Il land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pompano and others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety Deer, turkeys bears, panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds Of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unriyaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer
To this attractive state the Pennsy ylyauia
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sOually y-conducted tours during the season of
1897, leaving by special train January 26,
February and 23 aud March 9. The first
three tours will admit of soiourn of two
weeks in this delightful land; tickets for the
fourth tour will be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, $50 90 from New
York, $500 from Philadelphia, and proper
tionate rates from other points.

ton, apply to ticket agents, special booking
