A negro citizen writes letter to the
Atlanta Journal in which he says that
negroes do not expect or wish to ride
in the same car as the whites. but they
do ask that they shall have equally
good accommodations for the same
money. This is an absolutely just de-
mand," says the Journal. "rhe rail
roads which do not voluntarily provide
equal accommodations for equal pay
should be required by law to do so.
When negroes are charged the same fare

conmodations which are set apart for
them should be as good and convenient
i'll all respects as those which white per-
sons occupy"

Quick Wit.


A girl who lives in little town in
the west, not far from railway cross
ing, looked out of the window the other
day and saw a laborer jump from ono
track to the other to escape an approach
ing freight train. He was apparently
dazed by terror, and stood still, not
seeing that behind an express train was
rushing down upon him. The girl saw
that before she could make him under
stand his danger it would be too late.
She therefore threw up her arms,
shrieking wildly: Help! help! help!"
trusting to the impulse which sends a
man on the instant to the relief of q
woman in distress. I'm coming!"
shouted the Irishman, springing toward
her in time to escape the engine as it
rushed past. He stared back at it, and
then at the woman, crying and laugh
ing at the window, and, taking of his
hat with shaking hands, said: IT owe
you something, miss" and walked away
His intentions were as friendly as hers,
but the wit was slower.

A device for preventing unseemly will
contests has appeared in Connecticut
and is being very favorably commented
upon. It provides that the testator, on
making his will, may deposit it with a
legal officer and give public notice of
the fact, in order that any person who
may doubt his competence to make a
willmay come forward and testthe ques-
ton within a certain time. If no OBJ
lection is made within the time speci-
fled the will cannot be attacked on that
ground when offered for probate. No
body is to see the will or knowits con-
tents; the inquiry is to be confined to
the single question of the makers COM
petence, perhaps including the question
of undue influence, but if these two
points can be settled during his life
there is little danger of successful at
tempt to break the will after his death.
1t seems as if a great deal of scandal
and much unseemly litigation might be
prevented by this simple device.

Sol Smith Russell, the actor. tells this
yarn to the Chicago Record: One day
he and the members of his company
were standing on the railway platform
at one-night town. A man with a

finally he stepped up and said:. "Ain't
you the fellow that cut up capers at
Parker's hall last night?" Eyes, sir,

I had to laugh sometimes. I wanted to
tell you about my boy. He amt no
good to work; just hangs around all
the time; won't stick at anything. All
he's good for is to crack jokes and play
clown. I've got him job now at the
hub factory, but all he does is to keep
the men laughin' when they ought to
be at work. You ought to get him in

Poor Count Looks Like Anna

TeXarkana aud Shreveport played
their third and last game here on
Friday evening, Of the series of
three games TeXarkana taking
two out Of three,
The game was one of hard batting
and poor fielding, ran strongly on
the line of amateur ball playing,
1t will be seen that Texarkana
scored l3 runs before Shreveport
got in a count, but when the
"Pelcans' went in on their half Of
the 4th inning they scored up seven
runs, and It looked as though they
would retrieve their bad luck and
catch up up with the locals, before
the game was over but such was
not the case, and our "smggers"
kept up their good work, making
runs until they reached the
eighth inning, and at this stage Of
the game they found their first
