HEROIC GREELE.
BY H. EUGENE WILSON.
For Tue BEF

BY H. EUGENE WILSON.
For THE BEE
Heroic Greece defies the world,
And Crete is in distress;
The weakling lifts its bleeding hand
To brother man at rest.
Her cry is waited long the coast,
Across the watery sea,
To all christian nations;
And Crete thou shalt be free.
Bravest Greece, protect thy nursing
Cut off Turkeys brutal hand,
Hurl the carnal tyrant to death;
And peace shall reign throughout the
land.
Marshalled near the dimly island,
Fleet and ship at anchor lay,
Watching e'er chance to hasten;
And check bold Greece in her array.
God, protect the little nation,
Whose dying word we hear to-day,
Let freedoms flag once more wave
o'er;
The Cretan's shore that far away.

1T is RUMORED.

The negro editor in Florida who
caused the separation of Prof. Jacques
seems to be chagrinned because Mrs.
Jacques has married another man.
The Colored Editor is more anxious
about the divorced wife of Prof. j.,
then he is.
This same colored editor has been
kicking himself to death about her
name. 1t is the best evidence in the
world that he has none.
=, John P. Green's name will go to the
Senate next week.
Ex-State Senator Allan will be
taken care of by this administration.
The republicans of Mississippi will
Come to grief.

CINCINNATPS COLOREDCADET.

Especial to The Post.
Cincinnati, Ohio, April 12-This city
will probably be represented in the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md, by
a colored cadet. Richard c. Bundy,
the elderest son of Rev. Charles Bun.
dy, presiding elder of the A. M. E.
Church of this city, has been selected
by Representative William B. Shattuc,
of the First District, to fill a vacancy
recently created. Gen. Shattuc wrote
to this city some time ago, requesting
the Superintendent of public schools to
arrange for competitive examination
open to all lads, who might choose to
enter. This examination was held in
the latter part of March, and when the
examiners completed their task. it was
assertained that young Bundy and
George Austin, another colored boy,
led the list.
In reporting to Gen. Shattuc, one of
the examiners wrote rather ambig-
uous letter, stating his opinion that
none of the boys were qualified for eX-
animation at Annapolis, and Gen.
Shattuc announced through a local
newspaper that none of the candidates
COulu pass. L lIlS DlOuS Ill Oul d pI OlSSl
from young Bundy, whose protest
caused the examiners report to be re-
read, from which it was seen that he
meant none of the white candinates
could pass the examination. Accord
ingly, Gen. Shattuc has named Bundy
for the cadetship. The other boy is
now barred by the age limit from be-
coming an alternate by his own state
ment.
The appointment OF a negro at An
napolis has always caused quite astir,
and no colored cadet has ever sue
ceeded in staying there four years and
graduating. They usually obliged" or
dropped for failing to reach the re-
quired rank on the entrance examina-
ton. Several years ago a colored
cadet passed the first year examina-
ton before he was obliged" Young
Bundy is a bright scholar, and has
high standing in the Woodward High
School, where he expects to graduate
in June. He intends to enter the acad-
emy in September.

JENNY LIND'S TERRIBLE NERV-
BUSINESS.

A reminiscent article on Jenny Lind
and her home life has been prepared
by her daughter, Mrs. Raymond
Maude, for publication in the May
LadieS' Home Journal. 1t is said to
be filled with interesting memories of
the famous singer, and is noteworthy
also as being the first view we have OF
her through the eyes of her adorins
daughter. Mrs. Maude, brings to
light the fact that Jenny Lind was al
ways nervous and overstrung before
events-just before singing in a new
opera or oratorio, but was quite calm
when the very moment of action
arrived

Editor Aull's Good Resolution.

We have about come to agree with the Abb.
beville Press and Banner ON the subject OF
foreign advertistn ents. The patent medicine
advertiser wants the choice position In the
paper and at less cost than Is charged the
local merchant. and we have made up our
minds to cut them out OF the paper just as
fast as we can. We believe 1t will pay to give
more reading matter and the choice position
to our home people. And Just as soon as our
present contracts expire the patent medicine
ad. will 90 from our columns unless extra
pay ia given for its insertion.-NeWoerry
Herald and news.
Judging from our own experience along tne
same line. our contemporary will have no
reason to regret adopting the higher stand
ard of morals and the better business princl'
plies. Some of the medical ads which appear
In some OF our exchanges as editorial or pure
reading" would shock the sensibility OF the
reader If the habit were not 30 common.
The moral sense OF the public seems to be so
blunted that anything may now be publish
ed.
The reading public needs returning 10
the former and better standards, and we be
lieve the people will appreciate Editor Auld's
determination to give them cleaner paper,
and we are quite sure that the improve
ment OF his advertising patronage will come
sooner or later. When the local advertiser sees
that he has fair chance at position be
will take more space. At least that has been
our experience for fifteen years.
