INDlGNITY OF Jim CROW CARS
Colored People Consider the Case of
Mrs. Sullivan Fox.

A large number of colored citizens gath
cred at Bethel A. NJ. r. Church last night
10 take some action in the case of Mrs.
Lillian Thomas Fox, the colored elocution-
list OF this city, who was not long ago the
victim OF a Southern custom which forbids
with white people. Mrs. Thomas lives at
No. 464 Indiana avenue. Shortly before the
holidays she started to the Atlanta expo
sition, where she was to take part In a
the Big Four. taking the Queen q Cres-
cent route at Chattanooga. Six miles south
OF that city Mrs. Fox was informed by the
conductor that she would not be permitted
To ride in the ladies' coach, and must 20
TO the lin crow car. She declined to
change as was requested and was elected
from the train with her baggage. North
ern people on board the ears demonstrated
with the train crew, and Mrs. Fox was al
lowed to get on the train again. She
sDunkily refused to conform 10 the silly
custom. and for fifty miles rode on the
platform. Finally she grew cold and was
compelled TO seek shelter and warmth i'm
the lin crow" car.
The indignity suffered by Mrs. Fox was
discussed last night, and the railway COM
pany was roundly denounced. y commit
tee consisting OF Allison Sweeney, Charles
Stapp and Rev. IA. Ii. Harris was appointed
to draft resolutions which will voice the
sentiment OF the cclored people. Mrs. Fox
has consulted an attorney. who advised her
to bring a suit for damages against the
railway company. The committee will re-
port next Thursday night. when another
meeting will be held at Bethel Church.

READY FOR THE CARNIVAL.


There was an interested lot of people at
Tomlinson Hall last evening. making the
iEal arrangements for the grand Maenner-
c.lor carnival. which is 10 be given there
tonight. The decoration of the hall is one
Of the simplest and yet the most effective
ever shcwn there. the entire gallery has
been covered with the Southern smilax vine,
thickly studded with red and white carna-
items and roses. The stage has a broad
fight of steps leading TO il and the scenery
is strikingly beautiful. There are two broad
staircases leading half way up the height
OF the stage, and there are trees and many
artistic decorations for this entrance TO the
palace of the Prince and Princess Carnival.
The corridor has been effectively decorated.
Over tie windows are full curtains of white,
above which are pointed canopies of the
same, with a little coloring of red and yell
low In relief. On the panels between the
windows are palm leaves. roses and carna-
TORS, and IN the center a mask. This Is re-
peated the entire length of the corridor,
and gives a light and pleasing aspect and
borders the hall nicely. in the corners of the
aall are great pyramids of palms and other
tropical plants. There have been 2o extra
electric lights placed in the hall, and all
the chandeliers in the corridor are new and
of graceful design. with four burners, partic-
ularly for tnis occasion.
Above the second gallery are swung a
double festoon row of Japanese ball Lanterns,
and in the doors between the hall and the
corridor is a triple light of duaint-shaped
lanterns. No one will be admitted to the
hall this evening till $50, when the doors
will be opened. The hour for the grand
tableau. which will open the ball, is 8
O'Clock. The curtain will be raised and there
will be discovered scores of fairy characters,
in Fairyland. with hundreds of electric
lights of all colors. Rejecting gold, silver and
iridescent leaf. Ii will be like a scene of
enchantment. The court jester, Anthony
Balls. will lead the grand procession. after
the tabIeau, followed by the Prince and
Princess Carnival. The names OF those
who are 10 take the characters has been kept
a profound secret. The floor committee will
dress entirely in picturesque suits Of black
velvet and satin and the dances will be di-
rectly under their control.
A party of fifteen from the White Ele-
plant Band of the Louisville Liederkranz
will come up to-day to attend the ball this
evening, and several parties from points IN
this state are expected. The carnival will
surpass in many respects the one given

be admitted TO the floor for the dance be-
fore IL o'clock. All others will have seats

other one made a contract with the gov

As soon as the first contract expired a
contract was made with the new company

OF a receiver. the only user OF such a ma
chine being the government. The new
company has been unable TO supply the
machines as rapidly as the department
wanted them. thus the delay in getting
one here. The new machine will probably
be here In two weeks. This will dispense

They are on the regular sub list and have

THEODORE sHoCKNEY's ADDRESS
Civ s laboring Nc Some Pertinent
Eunfa IN CnnSfHer.

Theodore S~hockney, candidate for the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomination. was the
guest of the Shockney Club. In the Rail-
road Mems Hall, corner OF New York and
Delaware streets, last night. The club Is
principally composed of railroad men. al
though other labor organizations are repre-
scented in it's ranks. John @. Hicks, yard
master of the Big Four railway, presided as
chairman. and introduced Mr.. Shockney,
who spoke for an hour on political issues.
He was often applauded.
The speaker could not understand how or
ganized labor can be deluded by the theory
campaign tried to catch the labor vote by
representing that under a free-trade system
everything that labor had 10 buy would De
cheaper. anu that all labor had TO sell would
be higher. The speaker showed that this
was an utter impossibility; that it was
contrary TO the economy of nature. He
have a new issue the next campaign.
Did you ever know the Democrats TO
have the same issue in two campaigns
the present time they nave been wrong in
their issues, and they will be wrong this
time. In the last national campaign they
said the policy of the Republican party was
making the rich man richer and the poor
man poorer. They said this because there
were more poor men to vote than rich men.
Why should one class be arrayed against
another? If there is anything that / hate
and loathe 1t is a disposition TO create d.
visions In society-to create clans. III
there is anything I love it is TO see a man
who holds himself TO be the peer OF any
other man. and who grants those who he
have themselves the same right"
Mr.. Shockney quoted figures showing That
the laboring men get y per cent. less for
their services now than in 1892 In that
year this country sold to England $500 00.-
900 worth of goods. Last year we sold
but S327, 900. 900. Under the free-trade sys-
tenn England shipped here last year sec, o00,-
900 more wooden goods than in 1892. when the
Republican party, with its protective tariff,
was at the head of the government. .
incidentally, Mr.. Shockney mentioned his
candidacy, and was loudly cheered. Robert
Croft. ID. Il. Kennedy and others made
short Speeches.
