lNPESTIGATING THE CONDITION
OF TIEE NEGRO.

The University Of Pennsylvania has
undertaken the Investigation of the
negroes In Philadelphia and amonc
other facts the following is gathered:
The diseases which cause the
largest number Of deaths among col #
ored people are consumption ana
pneumonia. The mortality from
consumption Of white and colored
people In Philadelphia, compared as
follows. in 1890: White, 269. per 100
600 Of populations; colored. 1928 The
mortality Of the two races from
pneumonia compares as follows:
White. 1892; colorcd. 356G7 per 100
000. In other diseases the disparity
is almost as great"
The Richmond Dispatch. in referring
to this matter, makes the following com.
ment:
The mortality among the negroes
at the South has increased greatly
since the war. owing largely to the
fact that when they were slaves
their health and surroundings were
looked after, and they were required
to take care Of themselves With
rare eNceptionse, the sick slave had
the best Of medical attention.
What is true Of the condition of these
people in Philadelphia is also true
wherever they dwell in large numbers
and there are very many reasons for It
though it is not necessary here to enun
crate them.

TAX ON BACHELORS.

Rev. John B. Culpeper. pastor Of the
Washington Street NJ. L. church, Kan
sas City, Mo-. evidently does not like q
bachelor, and If he had his way that
individual would be wiped Off the face
OF the earth. In sermon delivered q
few days ago, Mr.. Culpeper had this to
say Of the man who prefers single bless
edness to travelling through life in
double harness.:
When q man is % and unmar-
led, he ought to be taxed 500; when
%. lie should be taxed 5000. The tax
should increase 500 year until he
is 30. Then, If he is not married, he
ought to be put in the penitentiary.
The average man who lives to 30 un-
married IS not TT to marry q pure
woman
Now, did anybody ever hear anything
more nonsenslcal than this? The
reverend gentleman might employ his
time and talents to better advantage
than is shown In the above, but some
how some people are never so happy as
when meddling with things which should
not concern them, and it appears that
Mr. Culpeper is not an exception.

From THURSDAYS Herald

Her majesty the queen, with her court
and escort of her faithful lancers. made
her first appearance to the masses of
her subjects yesterday. She first re-
viewed the pageant of all nations, how
ever, at the trlbunes and received the
homage of the diverse nationalities that
go to make up her subject kingdom.
And what a spectacle 1t was! To the
reflective man there was afforded much
food for thought; to those seeking mere
ly after amusement there was the at
tractive glitter of the varied costumes
and, in the case of the Indians, Of no
costume at all, and for the fun-loving
multitude, the Chinese dragon and the
most capably unique lion that has ever
posed before an American audience
played such funny antics as to cause all
the amusement that might be desired.
1t seemed curious to see United States
blusjackets and companies of the ma
tional guard walking side by side with
the Indians. whose ideas and ideals are
SO opposed to theirs; to witness the mag
nificently gorgeous display made by the
CHlHeSt COIOiy, anu tHe cOuItesy Will
which, as each carriage containing men,
bers of the Chinese board of trade
passed the reviewing stand, each of these
Celestials stood up and doffed his hat
while bowling low to the Fiesta queen.
Could an anachronism be carried fur
ther? And, then, there were Mexican
caballeros, the Legion Francaise and the
italian company of Garibaldi Guards, all
fraterniZng together And oVershad-
owing all, were the folds of the Stars and
Stripes, assuring to each and all the lib
srty to follow out their own ideals of life

At the south END OF the trlDunes was
placed the throne of Her Majesty. La
Reina de la Fiesta. A poppy-yellow can
opy threw a golden light upon the flight
of white canvased steps leading up to
the throne. The canopy was fringed
with green, and a row of brilliant red
pennants fiuttered from the standards
in line down the broad stairway.
Upon the lower step stood the prime
minister, the Hon. Francis j. Thomas,
awaiting the coming of the royal par
ty, and attended by the two gentlemen
in waiting, Frank Rule and Robert Par

whole effect was very beautiful.
Her majesty wore the coronation robe

that the corsage had been adorned with
a high front of gold and jeweled tissue.

with the gems that adorned her beauti-
