TO STOP LYNCHING.
Colored Men Want the Governm ent
to Protect Their Race.

New York June 15.-The Herald says:
The AfrO-American community in New
York is stirred up over the recent out
break of lynching in both south and
north and in all the coIored churches
the subject is being discussed.
The negroes look to their ministers
to take the lead in all public move
ments, and the ministers are contem-
plating calling a mass meeting to pro-
test against the outbreak Of laWlessness
and to advocate stringent federal leg
islation to protect the negroes.
Rev. NJ. Franklin of the Zion African
Methodist Episcopal church says that
the sentiment of the cOlOred communi-
ty here is that the federal government
should step in to protect the southern
negro.
The state laws are too lax" he says,
land there seems to be no desire to en-
force them.
mo punishment is ever inflicted on
the lynchers, and we are helpless. Even
in the north the state of affairs seems
to be almost as bad as in the south.
The governor of Ohio could have stop
ped the Urbana lynching had he wish
ed to do so. President Mckinley pre-
vented a similar affair when he was
governor, and it is the duty of the fed
eral government to intervene when the
state authorities show themselves IN
willing or pOwerless to protect citi-
zenS."
Rev. J. Scott of the Zion Baptist
church thinks that the only way to
stop lynching is the passage of a law
compelling every county in which q
lynching occurs to pay heavy indeIn-
nifty to the relatives of the victim.
IT am convinced that the lynchers
are not the best citizens, as we are usu-
ally told they are, but the real best
citizens are apatheric. They will cease
to be 50 when they find themselves tax
ed to pay indemnities for the acts of
the lawless element
Everything is against the negro
criminal He is tried by a. white jury,
sentenced by white judge and hanged
by a white sheriff. All the negro asks
course. The race prejudice in the south
is not based on what the negro is to-
day, but the fear of what he will be in
so years. We were turned loose 80
years ago with $4,000. Today We own
many millions. Where will we be in so
years more? That is what is worrying
the southern white man"

STUDENTS STEAL THECAKE
Northwestern Youths Invade Col
ored Function at Evanston.

Chicago, June 15.-Northwestern uni
versity students stole half a cake at
Evanston Saturday evening. They
broke the hearts and spoiled the pleas
ure of 300 of the best cOlOred people
of the suburb, who had gathered in
Bailey's Opera House Ito win dat cake
or die
The cake was a stunning piece of
pastry architecture 1t was eleven
stories high and was given a place of
honor on decorated table in the center
of the stage. When the contest between
the cOlOred SWANS and bellies began, it
was deemed best to place it where the
dust raised by the walkers wouldn't
settle on it. The table was carried into
the wings and the walk went on.
Fifty students were in the hall. When
the students saw the cake go into the
wings they decided to have some of it.
The leaders stole onto the stage and
cut the cake in half from the eleventh
story to the first. tt was placed under
the macintosh of Shorty Levings
and carried from the hall through the
stage door.
Sporting Ike" McBeard, the cham
pion cake walker of the country, who
won the 81, 900 prize in San Francisco
at a similar contest, and Lizzie Hardin,
were declared the first prize winners
When the committee went for the cake
they found little but crumbs left of the
eleven story beauty. Some one cried
out that the students were responsible
for the destruction of the prize and
rush was made for those who remained
in the hall. For awhile it looked as If
the students would be roughly handled
but they managed to get out of the op-
era house without being mOlested.
The girls of the Comstock School of
Oratory helped to eat the stolen por-
ton of the cake.
The university misses and men sat on
the steps of the university buildings
and nibbled in couples at pieces of the
frosted prize that was won by Sport

HITS CHICAGO ANOTHER.
Gov. Tanner Deals Another Blow, by
Vetoing the Lake Front Bill

Chicago, June 15.-Gov. Tanner has
filed with the secretary of state his We
to of senate bill No. 1854, popularity
known as the lake front bill.
The governor goes into the subject
quite extensively on his own account,
and files with his veto a long argument
Senator John NJ. Palmer.
His main contentious are that the
bill is too broad in scope and that the
state must retain control Of the water
front in the interests of lake shipping.
Gov. Tanners action seems to have ia
ken the public by surprise, and just
what will be the effect is hard to say.
The general impression is that the
effect of the veto is practically as fol-
lows:
To temporarily cloud the title of the
South Park commission to the Lake
Front Park.
To put a stop to the filing of the
Lake Front Park east of the Illinois
away the opportunity to secure filling
at nominal cost from the drainage ca
nal.
To put a temporary quietus to all
plans looking toward the location of
the Field Columbian Museum on the
Lake Front Park.
To knock in the head, for the present
at least, any consideration of a pro-
posed boulevard and park between
Lake Front Park aad Jackson Park.
To give a severe set back to any plan
to connect by boulevard and bridge the
Lake Front Park and Lincoln Park.
To put an end to Lake Shore i'm
provements projected by the Lincoln
Park board.

noise of the train had awakened and

cutting wheat in field alongside the
track, came running to the spot, white

from him, laid down on the track and
gone to sleep. Some of the passengers
lectured him plainly. I could not The
