FULTON NOTES
Religious NOtes-P Personals and Briefs

Last Sundsy morning, the SUNDAY
Schools of this section were well at
TEND. d and very interesting. Every
thing seemed 20 have done with the
spirit. Even the singing of the hymns
seemed so blending and harmonious
that we think that the spirit Of the
Lord mnst have been in the hearts of
the workers.
The church services were good, but
were not so we'll attended. On Sum
day evening at s o'clock, Rev. Freder-
lex Williams OF the Theological Semi
nary preached a practical and instruc-
tive sermon TO the Sabbath SchOo.
children and their parents. Miss In
diana cambridge rendered a fine ad-
dress on the Dignity of Human Ma
ture." The young lady deserves great
credit. Miss Tossie p f Whiting rem
dered the selection the Missionary
Gail" with so much sympathy and
feeling that one might have thought
her to have been on the field and t.
have witnessed the perils of mission
airy. The report of last years work o.
the Sunday School submitted by Mr.
Banks was good.
Among the many sick are Misses
Bessie Harris and Rosa b Henderson
We hope that they shall soon recover

our young men have set out with 1
determination TO do better this year

THE NEGRO INIr
You may talk about the Negro,
You may name his faults infinite,
But you cannot turn a wheel,
That Negro isn't in it.
You may black his civil rights.
You may say you are ag'in II,
But before you turn around,
Some sharp Negro will be in it
You may build yo1r Chinese walls,
You may plan for every minute.
But with all your wiley schemes,
Some few Negroes will be in it.
You may form your Lily whites"
You may kill your bear and skin it,
When the pie is passed around.
Some shrewd Negro will be in 1t
Be IL high or be it low.
From the cook TO the Senate,
There Is not place or earth.
That a Negro isn't in it.
SO my friend just stop your folly.
Draw this thought out and spin it,
God intends from first to last.
That Negro must be in it.
You may try the plan of Pharaoh,
Kill the race out, try to thin it,
When the census roll is called,
Negroes always Will be in it.
/ Ifyou keep on with your Iynching,
Take this thought down and pin lt,
When you reach the shores of SheC
You Will hno some Negroes in it.
y You may reach the land Of Beulah,
IL perchance you e'er shoald win it
d Don't you emmigrate my brother,
When you see some Negroes in it.

AROUND THE WHIST TABLE.
SOME HANDS PLAYED 1T THE WON
EMS WHIST CONGRESS.

An Analysis or tho Games Mt That Very suc-
ccssrul Meeting In rhilndeiphin-Mr. Ra-
chau's Interesting Experiinents-Club Views.
AT tho Mems Whist Congress at Manhattan
Beach last July no official records were kept OF
the hands played, not oven In the finals. The
reason assigned was that in previous years the
players had boon so tired out toward tho end
that the hands were really unfit for publication
rs examples OF championship whist. AT the
last congress this was not true, and there is
abundant evidence that tho play in the conclud-
ing rounds of the principal contests was Of a very
high order, Philadolphia's struggle with Balti-
moro for the possession of the Hamilton trophy
being u case in point. In spite of the fact that
no official records werc kept, n great many
hands were preserved by THE Sun, whose repre-
sentative was indebted to various players for
the details of many interesting situations and
brilliant plays In about a hundred hands that
were saved from oblivion in this manner there
were no less than ~flfty-four which showed a
Swing of five tricks and one that produced a
swing of eight. which was published in THE SUN
July 10 last.
Encouraged with his success in securing good
hands at the mems congress, THE Sun repre-
sentative went to the woncn's congress In Phil
adclphia with the expectation OF getting some
fine examples Of the manner in which women
could give tricks away five at a time while
thinking about something else, and of situations
that they would overlook that any sort of a man
would have seen at a glance. 1t is very sad,
but nevertheless true, that he came away almost
empty handed, for the whole four days play pro.
duced only one hand in which there was a swing Of
five tricks, although there were twice as many
players as at Manhattan Beach. Tho women
played such a close game, and held to it so stead
lily. that swings of moro than two tricks were ex-
trcmcly rare. This is certainly a remarkable
record for the first women's congress. and 1t is
tittingly supplemented by the very close finishes
in tho principal contests, the result of any of
which, as Milton Work says, would probably
have been changed by n single trick.
The one hand in which the big swings occurred
was No. 3 in section A Of the women's pair
championship. At trick 3 b had a perception
problem which would puzzle many an expert,
but most of the women studied II out. Those
who did not lost four or five tricks. A-B are
partners against ". dealt and turned the
heart five. The underlined card wins the trick.
and the card under 1t is the next one led. The
first play given is that Of the invitation game.
Mrs. +. 7. Baker OF Brooklyn held BIS cards.

tethered on the porch and the pig styes are in
the parlor. In n number of cases families who
dislike such close intercourse with the lower
animals havc adopted the rather remarkable
idea OF placing their cattle on RATS, which are
securely anchored or tied to the house. The ami
mails have moekly accepted the situation and
have shown no, disposition to leave tho RATS if
they arc provided with u set Of willow branches
and twigs. which constitutes their prin-
cipal forage during the high water.
and II boniiros are constructed on the
rafts-no easy .matter-to keep off with
their smoke the buffalo gnats which have fol
lowed In the wake of the flood, and have proved
SO annoying to stock and even fatal il they arc
not driven off. This is all well enough IL tho
house itself does not float off. which has several
times occurred, to tho great terror OF the in
mates. Most of the occupants of houses. how
ever, arc providing against this accident by at
taching their dwellings by ropes to trees.
Life in the overlooked district is very print
tive. but by no means so uncomfortable as VIC
would Imagine, and the people are fast adapting
themselves to it and looking nj II as n sort OF
cimping-out lark. There is fishing and hunting
and nothing to do. And an overflow OF the
Mississippi brings no sickness nor i'll health in
its train-indeed. the health of the uvcrtlowcd
country Is better Just now than usual.
As for the negroes, it Is II lark. especially il
they get Government rations. for there Is free
dom from all work, and. crowded as they are in
some places. they seem perfectly happy, and re-
vivals were never as numerous or as successful.
A visitor would hardly be inclined to regard II as
a great disaster, but rather II return to Arcadian
SIMPLICITY.
