1t Il - strongly Drawn There as In Any

It rarely if ever happens that native,
whatever his rank, is received on any
social occasion inside white house; in
deed, he would seldom be permitted, eX-
cept as domestic servant, to enter Q
private house at all. When Khama, The
famous chief of the Ba-Mangwato, q
Christian, and a man of admittedly
high character, who ruled his. people
with singular wisdom and ability, was
in England last autumn, end was there
entertained at lunch by the duke of
Westminster and other persons of social
eminence. the news excited general an
noyance and disgust among the whites
in South Africa. A story was told me
of a garden party given by the wife OF a
leading white ecclesiastic, the appear
ance at which of a native clergyman Led
many of the white guests to withdraw
in duegeon.
Once, when / was guest at a mission
station in Basutoland, was asked by
my host whether I objected to mis- bring
ing in to the family meal a native pastor.
who had been preaching to the native
congregation. When expressed some
surprise that he should think it neces-
sary to ask, he explained that race feel
ing was so strong among the colonists
that it would have been deemed i'm
proper, and, indeed, insulting TO make
o white guest sit down at the same table
with black man, unless special permis-
sion had first been given. Thus one may
say that there is no social intercourse
whatever between the races; their re-
1ations are purely those Of business,
Now and then a black man gets ahead
Of the white. but the latter's pride of

Of intermarriage there is, of course,
no question. It is not forbidden by law
in the two British colonies, as it is in
most, If not all. of the southern states OF
America, but 1t is excessively rare; nor
does it appear that there are now other
irregular unions outside marriages, as
there constantly were in the old days
while slavery existed. In this respect
the case of South Africa remarkably
resembles the southern states, where
also there is now very little mixture OF
blood, though there was a great deal
so years ago. Probably in both cases il
is better that the races should not min
frIe thar blood. for the Srhife rare would
be likely to lose more than the black
race would gain.-James Bryce, II. p,

LEPBE STILL AT LARGE
Fleming was to Have Been Returned to the
Municipal Hospital.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 3.-The escape
Of a leper, Frederick Fleming, from the
German hospital on Wednesday morn
ing has given the police a hunt, which
so far has been without result, and
there is apprehension that the man
may be in hiding somewhere about the
city, giving opportunity for the spread
of the dreaded disease. Owing to the
almost superstitious fear in which lep-
rosy is regarded by the general public,
the authorities are making every eff
fort to capture the runaway.
Fleming applied at the hospital for
treatment on May %, making the COM
plant that he felt sick, but after he
had been there a short time the doctors
began to suspect the true nature of the
disease. His complexion was very
dark, mahogany brown; there were
nodules under the skin, and his legs
and arms were thickened. He was iso-
lated in the basement of the hospital,
and clippings of the affected skin were
subjected to examination for leprous
bacilI. The test revealed the presence
of the germs, and on Tuesday DR.. Boil
ton, the city bacteriologist, confirmed
the hospital physicians diagnosis.
An order was issued for Fleming's re-
moval to the little leper colony at the
Municipal hospital, but when the o.
ficers called for him the next morning
twas found that he had taken the alarm
and fed from what would practically
be life imprisonment. While no one
cared to be very intimate with him.
Fleming was allowed a certain amount
Of liberty about the hospital yard, and
1t is believed that he slipped out of the
gate with some workmen, who were en-
ployed about the buildings.
Fleming is a German by birth, and.
although he has Travelled about the
United States for some time. he is still
unable TO speak English. For twenty
years he lived in Brazil, doubtless con-
tracing the disease in that country. He
is about feet, 5 inches in height, AMI
has rough yellow hair. His eyebrows
have dropped out, giving him a peculiar
appeal ance. and his skin has the
strange, dark hue peculiar TO lepers.
The clothing he had on when he es-
capped bore the name of the hospital.
which may lead to his discovery.
Should ~ .ming be recaptured he will
increase Il number of lepers confined
in the Municipal hospital TO three. The
others, woman and a ChinGman, have
been in the institution for several years.
and their cases are slowly but surely
progressing towards a fatal termina-
ton. Hop" the Chinaman, is now in
such condition that he cannot move
around on account of his badly con-
tracted ulceIated limbs. The leper.
James Benjamin. who created a sensa-
ton by escaping from the Municipal
hospital some SIX months ago, has writ
ten to r. Welsh. the physician in charge.
that he is now established at his old
home in the West Indies. so that moth
ing more is to be feared from him.

Organization has become popular
among the farmers of Sedgwick county,
and steps were taken yesterday looking
TO a county organization of farmers
and gardeners following after the plan
adopted by the Wichita Grape Growers
association.
At the meeting Of the grape growers
Saturday the subject was approached OF
extending the association so as to cover
all kinds Of fruit and vegetables, but the
step was believed by many TO be a. dan
yerous one. as the grape growers had
worked I'D a certain market and had
provd that the uniting of the men to
gether was advantageous on account
of finding regular market, and that
trey were also enabled to secure much
better freight rates as well as secure
their baskets at greatly reduced rate,
and as they all understand each other,
and the men selected to transact the
business Of the association thoroughly
understand handling this class of fruit,
khat If the organization was extended
1t would in a manner interfere with the
business of the association now in hand
and that the better plan would be to
Organize a separate organization but
pne that would be perfectly friendly and
would cooperate as far as practicable
with the grape growers.
By the organization it Is claimed that
a permanent market can be found by
the fruit and vegetable association and
that rates can be secured that VIII
prove OF great advantage to all.
I. n. Dean at the request of number
of fruit and vegetable men has called
b meeting to meet at the old Polk pro
nuce house on Market street at 10 o'clock
Saturday which viii have in view the
organization Of this kind.
4 number of railroad officials have
been invited to meet with them, and also
commission houses in Colorado and
ctlher points are asked TO correspond.
1t is believed that there will be no trou-
BILE in perfecting the organization and
an Invitation is extended to all inter
ested to be on hand.
The south is now demanding vegeta-
bles and fruit as well as the west. on
account of the severe drouth and Il is
believed that the organization will prove
highly satisfactory and advantageous
