There was "a great gathering Of
the disappointed original McKin-
ley colored Republicans at the
Metropolitan African Methodist
Episcopal Church, South Washing
ton, a few days ago, which applaud
ed rattling speech by Thomas II.
Fortune. of New York, in which he
said:
White men want your vote; but
they also want the Offices and they
get them. Dear Brother Buck has
gone to Japan at $4,000 q year,
and left the colorei man behind to
look ont for himself. Colored men
from other States have been treated
the same. There is no future in
politics for as, unless we deal
with the whites in Louisiana just as
they deal with us in New York.
Why, the colored men can't get
anything in New York, not even o
chew of tobacco. This may be said
j to be drawing the color line? Let
us treat the whites just as they treat
us. Am not right?'
There were many who answered
yes, and then the speaker contin-
ned
'An eye for an eye. Deal with
them just as they deal with us.

Well, l guess not! What do / want
to raise children for-to loaf around
New York when the weather is hot
enough to bite, while politicians are
of enjoying the sea breezes? They
want it all, and they usually get it.

on the inner globe of the sun. This
substitle was, "The Globe Within the
Sun Our Heaven" According to Nor
timers theory, our sun is surrounded by
an envelope of phosphere of fame Ioo.-
900 miles itself Taken all together,
this idea of the phosphere is vast non
luminous void. Further on is the great
globe of the sun itself. Taken all to
gether this idea of the sun may be aptly
compared to peach or plum.
The envelope Of fame occupies the
place of the skin, the "vast nonlumin-
GUS void" the place OF the meat of the
fruit and the central globe (true SUM
the place of the seed. On this sun globe,
inside the great fiery envelope, DR.. Nor
timer believed heaven to be situated.
The photosphere or envelope of fire he
took to be hell or the place of future
punishment for the wicked. The "non-
luminous void" according to Mortimer,
is the "great gulf between" which is
mentioned quite frequently in the Scrip
lures.

Mirrors in Gloves.

A mirror in the palm of the glove is
the latest novelty With its assistance
its owner IS enabled to be sure that her
bonnet is on straight and also that, her
curls are In perfect order. She can like
wise ascertain if her bow is at the most
becoming angle at the proper time.
All these things and hundred others
important from a feminine point of
view, she can find out on the street
without attracting the attention of pas
sersby with the aid of this simple con-
trivance.
The inventor of this device has so at
ranged the little lookingglass in the
palm of the glove as not to interfere
with the shutting of the hand. He has
likewise taken the percution of putting
1t in the left hand glove, so that when
its owner shakes hands with friend it
will not he observed.
1t is not the fair sex alone that will
find this ingenious contrivance useful
Men are quite as vain as women, so the
latter claim, and will be seen by any OBJ
server to look at themselves in every
mirror they pass on the street.

New Theory of sunstroke

An English physician has discovered
that sunburn is produced by penetrating
light rays and not By heat at all. The
face of a victim of sunburn Is not only
SWOLLEN, but 2itted, and at the bottom
of each pit the microscope discloses a
freckle. The physician who has made
this interesting discovery claims that
sunstroke can be averted by wearing
hat and clothes Of an orange hue. No
remedy is found to be so satisfactory as
the use of pigments. A lady who wore
a blouse with red and white stripes had
red stripes imprinted on her shoulders
by the sun underneath the white, while
the skin under the red stripes remained
normal in color.

Trees Five Centuries ola

Gerioke, the great German forester,
writes that the greatest ages to which
trees in Germany are positively known
to have lived are from 500 to SO years.
For instance, the pine in Bohemia and
the pine in Norway and Sweden have
lived to the latter age. Next comes the
silver fur, which Ia the Bohemian for
ests has stood and thrived for upward of
400 years. In Bavaria the larch has
reached the age of 275 years. Of foil
age trees the oak appears to have sur
vived the longest The best example is
the evergreen oak al Aschafenburg,
which reached the age of 40 years.
Other oaks in Germany have lived to be
from 3I5 to $40 years Old At Aschaff-
enburg the red beech has lived to the
age of 24s years, and at other points to
the age of 225 years. Of other trees,
the highest known are ash, 40 years !;
birch, 100 to 200 years; aspen, 22o years;
mountain maple, 22s years; elm, I3o
years, and red alder AS years.-London

Increase of Deafness.

Once the subject of city noises was
brought under discussion, there were
plenty of people to take it up and dwell
upon the various ills and evils that
spring from the incessant din to which
city jewellers are subjected. 1t is stated
on competent authority that the deaf
ness and neurasthenia are very largely
increased by the noises of traffic and
the roar and rumble and hiss of machin-
cry and steam. AS an instance of the
effect of noise, It is related that a lady
who had been for some time out of
health became so much disturbed by the
passing of trains on the elevated roads
that she was obliged to change her resi-
dence. Several times she was found
standing in a dazed condition in the
middle of her room after train passed,
and fears were entertained that her
mind would become unsettled. Smooth
er pavement, the removal of boiler
works and noisy processes from cities,
and the fitting of iron work before it is
put up into the building, are recon-
mended, together with larfe number
of minor suggestions.

Fanny DaYennort

This will be Fanny Davenpot's last
season with the Sadou plays For
twelve years she has been wholly asso-
ciated with the Frenchman's plays, and
has produced all the dramas done by
him for Bernhard except "Theodora,7
which, however, she now owns. Indeed,
Sardou has had but two successes since
1883. "Thermidor" and "Sans-Gene,"
which she does not control in this coun-
try. "Thermidor" would have been
useless to her. "Sans-Gene" slipped out
of her reach, although it would have
suited her admirably. owing to the mis-
taken judgment of the person she sent
to report on it. But at the end of this
season, after giving elaborate revivals o
all these pieces, she will dispose of her
rights and play them no more. Some
other women will be seen touring in
them in town where Fanny Davenport
has never been, and beyond doubt
there is still great deal of money in
them. They have certainly drawn
great deal of money for Miss Daven-
poat. But at the same time they have
each cost a fortune to produce. Miss
Davenport might easily have been a
much richer woman than she is today

Washington, Jan I2.-"The chances
for the resurrection of the Cuban reso-
luton are about as good as for the pas
sage of the Pacific funding BILL" said
Senator White today; "that is to say,
the chances are very poor"
The California senator is at present
deeply interested in both of these prop
ositions.
It is understood that Senators White
and Teller had a conference yesterday
to try and devise ways and means to
bring Up the Cuban resolution. They
are about convinced of the hopelessness
of it, however, for obstructionists in the
senate will not permit It to be brought
forward.
It is the opinion Of Senators White
and Teller that at least part of the OPP
position comes from friends of the in
coming administration.
One of the senators said that in his
opinion President Mckinley would
adopt the policy regarding Cuba now
pursued by the Cleveland administra-
ton. Senator White believes this to be
true, and he has talked to members of
congress and others who have recently
come from Canton.
1t is said, upon excellent authority,
that Major Mckinley does not desire
the passage of the Cuban resolution.

Turkey, the bad boy of Europe,
has at last been coerced into the
withdrawal OF territorial claims, and
there seems now possibility of a
peaceful solution for the present.
But, whatever peace is patched up,
can never be lasting. The Turk
hates the Christian, and will love
him none the more because he has
been prevented by the Great Powers
from profting by his victory over
Greece. Naturally, not being able
to take it out of Greece, he will
amuse himself with prosecuting,
slaughtering and torturing Arme-
mans and other harmless people to
his hearts content. When will the
Powers unite in driving this race
out of Europe, where it has re-
NAMED blot upon civilization for
four long centuries? If the Powers
considered the general good they
would get rid of the Turk but he
is actually kept in his seat by his
own crimes.

There may be some misappre-
tension about drought on these
islands which should be corrected.
Though some portions of the islands
have suffered, many have had all
the water they need. Take Kauai,
for instance; there has been ample
water supply upon all the planta-
tons. In parts of Maui, though
there has been severe drought, the
irrigation bitches have been we'll
filled, and the cane has not suffered
Kohala and Hamakua have really
been the great sufferers. AS for the
sale of water, this has occurred, as
it does almost every year in some
isolated spots. No one must think
that we have anything like the
drought upon us that Australia has.
We have lost little, but the loss
in one part is counterbalanced by
gain in another.
