The IRREPREssIBLE color question
has again arisen; this time at Cape
May, New Jersey, where negro girl
has been refused admission into the
high school. Her reputed parents
have taken the case to court. Such
cases are constantly occurring in all
parts of the North, and nothing could
better illustrate the natural difference
between the white and black races. NO
white man has so little regard fer the
feelings of his children as even to dream
of sending them to schools in which
they are not wanted by either teachers
OF pupils, but in the case referred TO-
the girl is obi sctionahle to both.

FATHER McPAKE's MURDER.

The tragic death OF Rev. Henry j.
McPake, assistant priest of the Roman
Catholic Church of the AununciatioD.
who was found dead in the rear of the
Convent of the Sisters of the Immacu-
late Heart of Mary, in Philadelphia,
bids fair to rival the Wilson case in diff
fculty of explauation, and has already
vqualed it with regard to popular ex-
cltement.
Although the authorities have an
nounced that Father McPake's death
was due directly to uraemic poisoning,
quite natural cause, they are, never
tneless, working upon the case with an
eoergy that thew exhibited in the Will
sou and Holmes affairs alone. The in
vpsligaiion is being pursued diligently,
and it will be, perhaps, several days
before the police will be prepared to
submit complete report.
1t is the opinion of those working
upon the case that Father McPake
found the rear gate of the academy
open while passing through Montross
street. He entered the yard with the
intention of calling attention to the
fact that the gate was open when he
was stricken with an illness that proved
fatal.
The mother superior, Sister Mary
James, consented to speak on the sub.
ject of the finding of the young priests
body. She told how the janitress mott
fled her man was lying in the area
way under the rear steps. She and
some other sisters went to see the body,
Rev. Father Donovan. of st. Paul's,
having been sent far. At first they
thought the unfortunate intruder was
tramp. But the mother superior no.
ticed tie quality of his shoes and drew
the proper inference-that he belonged
to more respectable class. They asked
Father Donovan, who said. from his
attire, he must be priest. "He was
not frequent visitor" said the mother
superior. "Ee did call sometimes,
being received, as are all outsiders,
in the Academy parlor. He was
acquainted with but one of the sisters of the
order, lady who is friend OF his family.
Some few days ago his last visit to this build
Ing occurred. he calico tnen III company
with tho lady's brother, who was paying her
a visit"
1t has been stated by the policemen that
the dead priests clothing was disarranged.
When the body was searched at first both his
watch and money were found to be missing
but later and more careful search brought
to light a wad of bills. carefully wrapped up,
amounting to So 70. but there is no trace as
yet of the watch aud chain, which his friends
assert he always carried Close by the body
when found was Father McPake's overcoat
neatly folded, and on top of this was his hat
The former was not soiled, nor was the hat
dented.
All this would seom to point to mental de-
iangement AID accident as much as murder.
The former is supported by the coroner's Off
Gals and pumbor of brother priests who
were intimate with Father McPake. These
say that he had for somo time past showed
evidences of observation-disclosures and somno'
lent tendency.
The coronor's jury to-day rendered YER.
dict that death was due to natural causee.
The verdict was in accord with the finding of
Coroner's Physician Cattell, who said death
was duo to uramia.

Railroad Back Taxes.

Chancellor Martin has rendered an important decision in the famous back tax case of the state of Arkansas vs. Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway company. The court overruled the motion of the state to strixe from the files the answer of the Iron Mountain and sustained the demurrer of the state to the answer of the Iron Noun tain and the fourth and fifth para graphs of the answer of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway. The cause will now be referred to the state board of railway commissioners to assess the property along the road for the years 1879 to 1882. They will then report to the court, who will ap- point master to determine the rates for those years. and upon that basis the court will declare the taxes to be paid by the road. The amount claimed by the state is about $500

Iron Pyrltes.

The prospects are flattering for the early day at the mine of iron pyrites, situated some three miles west of Hot Springs and to which the owners have, without success, attempted to attract the attention of foreign capitalists for some two years past. The owners of the mine now propose to organize a stock company; put in all the necessary machinery and begin the manufacture of sulphuric acid. aqua ammonia and the red oxide of iron paint instead of attempting to mine and ship the ores. By this method of working the prop erty the corporation will realize the full value of their products, when if they mined and shipped to Atlanta, and other points, at the prices offered (from s7 to $s per toni they could not realize more than 10 per cent of the value. The company will purchase and com plete the erection of plant so as to begin active operation by April 1, of this year, at an expense of s10,000 The company has already selected Mir J. R. Clifford as superintendent. The capacity of the plant will be from five to 40 tons per day and will be enabled to readily convert from 40 to 240 tons of air and water into products valued at one cent per pound.

We spent considerable time at the penitentiary," said Mir. Childers, land we visited every camp. We have been at work every day since the second day of January. We found everything in excellent condition. Inever saw con- victs look so fat and sleek and so well. The negroes were all enjoying the best of health and seemed to be as satisfied with life as their circumstances would admit"
 Now, if the state can make money with its penitentiary by renting and leasing lands" Mir. Childers says, what could it do if it owned an immense farm? l believe it is to the interest of the state to purchase large farm on which to work the convicts There is money in it. On this farm reform school could be established where they could be put to work. The farm proposition seems to me to be the best in every respect-best for the convict and best for the state"
