Tor most of our race.


In Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburp,
Chicago, and other lart cities, like wise
throughout this state, where the head.
walters are selected with better care,
the Afro-American etill predominses,
and his servc' both European and
American. is unquestionably frst-class.
The younger element of head walters
are more up to- late and better qualified
for the existing state of affairs. Should
New York proprieto,s put this to the
test am positive they will obtain far
better resuIts than formerly. I have
oft times heard side walters criticize the
capabilities of their leaders, expressing
surprise that such and such a man
should he eeIe cted to lead them. Nine
times out OF ten their assertions were
justitiable. Is it too late to right this
wrong?
In the meantime permit mo word
to my colleagues: To instruct their men
to be gentlemanly in their actions and
appearances, to say little at all times,
especially should misunderstandip
occur with thu guest, to impress upon
their minds the importance of their
positions as being as essential to civiliza-
ton as any other profession or calling,
to avoid waste of anything entrusted to
their core. these admonitiors are all
essential, and you will instill in your
walters nride that will pro mote neat
ness and cleanliness, and all the REQ uire.

Is The Afro-Am erican Walter Decliuiog?
For several years past we have roted
a steady decline in the Afro American
waiter in many of the principal dining
rooms in New York city. 1t has been
assumed by the community in general
that they we're always considered the
best and most submissive servants.
Then why this discrimination?
1t no doubt would interest your many
readers to know the cause. From years
OF experience and direct personal &C.
quaintance with the ex-head walters, I
have been able to derive the following
conclusions: The old staff of head
walters selec;ed by the proprietors and
managers were chosen principally for
their diguified and good appearance, ir-
respe ctive Of their executive or business
Utilities, hence the esult. AS the gas

cy, while the majority Of side men
under them, possessing better educa-
tional and mental abilities, were iguored
and laid aside with them. - ....
Proprietors and managers would de-
rive far better results il they would only
consult some other good reliable head
waiter before hiring one.A q rule an
aspirant with marked executive ability
makes far better success than one Sc
lected only for his app sarance.
It would be we'll to notice that the

THE COMING IN. E. A.

THE COMING N. e. A.
There will assemble early next month
at Milwaukee, Wis, some very nice
people.
There ia no class of brain workers
who have so much to contend with and
receive 80 little remuneration, both az
regards finances and appre. iaticn of
worth, as the school teacher.
The National Educational Association
will convene in the "Cream City, on
July 6, and large concouree Of this hard
working and thankless class, will have
very busy week. They will come from
all parts Of the United States, fresh from
their laoors and after an exchange of
ideas will ctvote much of their time to
spleasure seeking aud much needed rest.
The Afro-American co-woikers have
always been made to feel at home al
these gathering, and 1t is to be hoped
ythey will be in attendance from all parts
of the South, their principal field of
labor. and will participate in the general
proceedings of the convention. Tn csc
asseml'iages are productive of much
good for the cause of education and to
those whose lie work is engaged in it's
sdispensation. It is very essential that
the Afro-American engaged in this work
should come in contact with, and ex-
change and obtain new ideas in the art
of scientific pedagogy.

AS the majority OF our children re-
ceive almost entirely their instruction
from teachers of the race and imbibe
moral and religious tendencies there
from, it is fitting that the one Occupying
such high position as the moulder of
character, ehould be up to the highest
standard and in touch with the best
thought engaged in this line of work ii
We are to advance with the rest of tie
civilized world in moral, industrial and
classical competition. There will be
many prominent educators in attend
apce; the sessions will be very interest
ing, much to learn, and their efforts
should be encouraged. Prof. Booker
T. Washington. and Ex-senator B. K.
Bruce are expected to take part in its
delibt rAtions. The color.line which
the Afro-American teacher has en-
countered heretofore on account of
lodging and entertainment has been en-
tirely obviated by the local committee
and all who will attend are assured the
bost the Cream City" affords In the
way of hospitality. It is hoped that q
goodly proportion of our representative
teachers will avail themselves of the
oppo, tunity to strengthen and broaden
their knowledge in their chosen pru.
fessi0n.

entered seriously upon his life work.
Leaving Florence he went to Bologna,
and then to Rome, where he found no
lack of patrons. Here he executed the
famous "Pieta,' which stands in St.
Peters church. Returning to Flor
ence he carved his magnificent statue
of David out of block of marble an
other sculptor had attacked and was
thought to have spoiled. He also
painted an immense historical picture
for the Ducal palace in Florence Later
he returned to. Rome by invitation of
Pope Julius II, who gave him several
missions, and here he spent the re-
mainder of his life, dying in 1863 at
the age of 80, leaving behind him a
vast record of his genius, not only as
a sculptor, a painter, and poet, but
as an architect and military engin-
eer. History gives no account of any
other man who combined in his make
up so many great and dominating
qualities His life and character and
his remarkable work in fulness and
variety reflect the spirit of the most
brilliant period in Italian history, the
age of the Renaissance, in it's glory
and decline.

How a Fortune was Spent.

In the appearance of Parker Corn
ing before the board of city assessors
of Albany, New York, a few days ago,
to make affidavit that his fathers es-
tate should not be assessed for valu
alton of $1,000, the history Of the
expenditure of$l2,OOO,O00 in twenty
five years was brought to light.
Erastus Corning, Jr., succeeded ear
ly in the seventies to his fathers mag
nifcent fortune, accumulated in the
iron business. Within five years he
lost $3,OOO,OOO through shrinkage in
the business at his Troy works. His
orchids alone cost 100000. He
began a series of magnificent enter
tainments that were almost without
parallel. He had a string of race
horses that cost a small fortune. He
dabbled in politics heavily, spending
money iavishly. 1t is said that he
could have been the Democratic nom
inee for Governor in 1881 instead OF
Cleveland had he desired.
At his second marriage he settled a
million dollars on his wife, and lost
larger and larger sums, with no re-
turn. Little by little his property had
to go to supply his demands until
when he died on August 29th he was
in comparative poverty.
Letters of administration were is
sued to his son, Parker, whose appear
ancebefore the assessors revealed what
a wreck the holdings Of his grandfa-
ther were.

A Bicycle Saved Them.

Isaac Leppley, a farm worker Of
Shamokin township, Pa, was arrested
Tuesday afternoon on the charge Of
having entered the barn Of Dairyman
NJ. L. Sober, at Elysburg, Monday
night and poisoned two cows, placed
a quantity ot Paris green in the milk
cans, cut all Of the harness to pieces
and removed the hub bolts from the
wheels of the wagons.
Mr.. Sober Tuesday morning sent a
man to the city with the milk, not
knowing that it had been poisoned.
Two hours later girls found traces Of
poison in the milk cans. George So
Der then jumped on his bicycle and
started for Shamokin, six miles dis
tant, at great speed, to warn the zoo
families on his fathers milk route not
to use the milk. Upon reaching Sha-
mokin he notified the authorities and
a number of men were hurried over
the route with the warning.
So far as known they were success
full in preventing the use Of the milk.
Leppley was given hearing before
Justice Rowe and committed to Jail.
He was discharged by Dairyman Sober
some time ago. The two poisoned
cows died.

A Great X Ray Machine.

The largest and most powerful ap-
paratus in the world for the genera
ting the y rays has just been COM
pleted, and is on view in the labora-
tory of the college Of the city of New
York.
DR.. R. Ogden Doremus, assisted by
several other well-known surgeons,
gave the machine its first test Monday
evening and was enthusiastic over the
results. By its aid man has literally
been rendered transparent.
The instrument is Holtz statcsl
electrical machine, enclosed in glass
case eleven feet long, FIVE feet wide
and nine feet high. Itis supplied with
eight revolving plates, which are five
feet in diameter. These revolve on II
four-inch steel axis.
The machine is owned by DR.. Gard
ner, of Washington, D. c., and will be
sent to him this week. 1t is designed
for treating patients afflicted with lung
disease. The patients will first be ren-
dered transparent through the power
ful Horoscope, and then will be SUBJ
jected to an atmosphere heavily
charged with electricity.
The effect of this was demonstrated
upon Il young man at the college. Ho
was put in chair, the current was
turned on, and although there was then
no cage to retain the ozone, the atmos-
phere, he said, underwent a decided
change. Bolts of blue flame sprang
from pole TO pole of the apparatus,
exploding with loud reports. A half
current subdued the explosions and
sent the flames zigzaging like streake
OF torked lightning, the particles OF
dust in the air DETECTING the current
from its course.
The air became heavy and charged
with a peculiar, dusty odor, such as is
observed during thunderstorm, only
much more pronounced The expert
ment showed that the human body, or
any Opaque substance not more than
a foot in diameter, can be rendered
transparent
