CoLoRED
MEN ARE
GRATEFUL

One of the most successful and enthu-
siastic receptions held since the COM
mencement of the present political cam
paign was extended last evening to Henry
T. Gage at the California Hall by the
members of the Afro-AInerican League.
From the first sound of the gavel the
meeting was characterized by demon
stration of true loyalty that has not been
equaled in the scores OF similar meetings
held by the white citizens OF the city since
the Inauguration of the campaign. To
the principles of Republicanism the col
ored man justly considers that he is in
debted to a great extent for the further
ance of his liberties and the elevation OF
the race of which he is member to that
condition of citizenship which belongs and
is afforded his white brethren.
With these sentiments clearly outlined
Albert Dennis, chairman, called the meet
ing to order and addressed the members
of the league on the issues of the present
political crisis, emphasizing the duty of
the members of the league present of sup
porting and upholding the entire plat
form of the Republican party, not ex-
cepting single plank as it were that has
been nailed there by the convention that
has placed the present candidates before
the people as worthy for their SURFACES
and of their universal support.
I'm the coming election, he said in
conclusion, "the negro owes to himself
anu 10 MS party the duty. OF VOIlEg IGr
the Republican ticket from top to bot
tom.
I'VE hope to find in the Republican
party in the future man who will go
down in the annals of history, as Abraham
Lincoln has done in the past as.one of the
defenders of the rights of the black man
and one Of the friends and promoters of
his liberties. We hope to see the day
when, as a consequence Of our allegiance
to the Republican party. the life of a
black man and the virtue of g black
woman will be considered as sacred as
the life of a white man and the virtue OF
a white woman"
AT the conclusion of the chairman's re-
marks several candidates were intro
duced. They briefly outlined the general
and appropriate sentiment of the rights
of the negro and his natural place of
equality with the white citizen. Among
others who spoke were Julius Kahn and
TREY L. Ford.
The main theme Of Mr.. Kahn's address
was drawn from the subject of racial
equality. In expoundlng this thought, the
speaker entertained a DEPRESSION on the
remarkable increase of prestige the nation
has gained with the countries of the
world as a consequence of the past fifteen
months of the exercise of Republican
principles and liberal thought.
almost at the conclusion of the meeting,
the entire audience rose and, led by James
Morton, one of the members Of the league,
gave vent to their enthusiasm in series
of wild hurrahs coined for the purpose by
the members of the league.

FAMILY CONVERSATION.

As much nnscltishncss, moderation
and sell-rrst raint must he shown in he
matter Of family talk rs in any other
detail of life.
The man who compels his family ut
dinner to listen to Il long TRADE on the
technicalities of his business is Il nuis-
ance. and the woman who dcsccrates Il
beautiful opportunity Of happy inter
course 10y talking perpetually of the
small worries Of her household is no
better | know OF one houshold where
the three boys, one girl, father and
mother all read different newspapers,
so that when an important event takes
place, instead of having absorbed the
one point of view, the various bearings
of the subject may be discussed and 4
much wider horizon opened.
Family talk is Il priceless method of
helping to grow up looking at things
from more than one point of view. If
properly directed it will prevent them
from looking at the world purely from
the standpoint of golf, trade, cycling,
domestic interest. or what not. lfeach
member is taught courtesy and for
bearancc in the matter of talking at
the family table, each hoy and girl will
expect the same and enforce it from
the others

HER OPINION OF HIM.

If there is anything exasperating in
this life is the lawyer who delights to
bullyrag and otherwise despitefulIv
use a witness, more particularly when
that witness is woman. observes the
Washington Star. 1t is on this ac-
count that there is general rejoicing
when that kind of an attorney is smote
hip and thigh by one OF his supposed
~ helpless victims. OF such is the
following tale:
The woman was on the stand and
she was 4 very nice-mannercd, rcspec-
table woman who kept plain board
ing-horse. and it was the desire of one
of her guests to he dishonest that had
brought her to the court to make him
pay his board.
How old did you say you were,
madam p inquired the lawyer, with no
reason on earth, for an elderly land
lady is no more anxious to lose board
bill than a young one.
Il did not say. sir" she responded,
flushing to the roots of her hair.
"Will you be kind enough to say,
madam -
"It's none of your business"
COLLECTION sustained,' said the court
with smile
''Um," said the lawyer, rubbing his
chin, show much did You say the de-
fendeut owed you p
"Twenty-five dollars"
"And for how long was that ?"
Give weeks
''That's s. week, isn't is?''
''Yes, sir
give weeks at So a week is $25, l
believe you said?''
"Yes, sir"
The witness was patient so far, but
it was plain that her temper was not
improving under the strain.
''Isnt that an extravigant price to
pay for board in that locality, madam"
inquired the lawyer severely.
He didn't pay it, answered the
woman, beginning to turn.
The lawyer gave little start of
surprise, and then became indignant
at the very thought of Il witness talk
ing like that.
Don't be facetious on the witness
stand, madam he said, assuming a
tone of warning. This is i serious
matter, madam have asked if your
prices were not eXorbitant and YOU
have seen fit to answer lightly. Now,
madam, ask you in all earnestness if
you mean to tell this court that your
prices are moderate, and that if l
should come to your house to board
you would charge me s. week An
swer directly, madam And the law
yer sat back in his chair and resumed
an imperial manner.
The witness was not at all abashed
No, SIR" she said simply 81 would
not. /"
81 thought not, | thought not, in
terrupted the attorney, bending over
and rubbing his hands.
'No, sir,' continued the witness. 81
would not charge you at all. If took
you | would make you pay in adj
vance"
Then the court forgot its dignity
and everybody laughed except the
lawyer.

NOT \ LAWYER.

If all newspaper stories are true, law
yers meet with many rcverses in their
attempts to browbcat feminine wit
nesses. One OF the latest examples
came from the Cleveland Lra1er.
'Now,' said the lawyer who was con-
lucting the cross-examination, you
will please state how and where you
first met this man."
81 think" said the lady with the
sharp nose. ''that it was
"Never mind what you think" in
terrupted the lawyer. I'VE want facts
here. We don't care what you think,
and we haven't any time to listen to
what you think. Now please tell us
where and when it was that ycu first
met this man.
The witness made no reply.
"Come, come" urged the lawyer, IL

"The witness will please answer the
question: said the court. in impressive
tones.

SO they called the next witness.

MARY LETTER AS a QUEEN.

The first American woman to be-
come a real Queen is the daughter of a
former dry goods clerk. She will rule
more than 4OO,OOO,0O0 people. She
will occupy an official position higher
than any woman of this nation has
ever attained. having mounted to it on
a foundation of dry goods and Chicago
real estate, but she is worthy of it.
George Nathaniel Curzon, who mar
red Miss Mary Letter, of Chicago, has
been made Viceroy of India, the high
est administrative office in the gift of
the British crown There he will be
the Vice-King, and his wife will be the
Vice Queen.
This American woman will act for
Queen Victoria, and will sit on a
throne, and none will be two great to
bow before her. She is 81, has s., ,000,-
GOO as dowry, and her position is fixed
for all time. In England she is upon
the highest pinnacle.
Thirty years ago the father of this
American Queen was selling calico.
and stockings over counter i'll Chica-
go. When he gained wealth his wife
fought hard for social recognition and
succeeded. Her daughter can make
Mrs. Potter Palmer, her mothers an
cient social enemy, knock in vain at
the portal Of European courts, even
after having conquered the Four Hun
drcd Newport. Mrs. Curzon will sit
ON a throne in Calcutta. There and
at Simla the politico-social life in In
dia will rcvolvc about her.

GROSSLY INSULTED A LADY
HER IRATE HUSBAND GIVES DE-
 SERVED PUNISHMENT.

HONOLULU, Aug. 1.-The actions of Captain James G. Blaine, who accom- panied one of the recent expeditions to Manila, while stopping at Honolulu have occasioned a great deal or com ment and much regret IS expressed both by army officers and citizens that the son of the famous statesman should so far lose control of himself as to create a disturbance in house where he was a guest.
 There are many stories concerning the riot. the difference in them being largely due to the fact that every et- fort was made to suppress the matter, but it finally leaked out. and the result is that most of the stories are so Wlld as to cause more comment than II the truth had been openly stated. some et- fort was made in fact to induce the general public to believe that no row had occurred but Blaine's spoiled face gave the lie to any such statement.
 The story as received from good source is as follows: Some of the na- lives in their desire to do everything for the amusement of their guests ar ranged for a hula a form of diver SlOn prOn1DlIeu py llle l1H' hS AAA'A tation was readily accepted and Blaine was one of the party. In the course or the evening a few bottles of a native beverage were produced and as the bottles became empty the little party of officers became full. Blaine became particularly hilarious and apparently got the ida into his head that he owned the whole of the Hawaiian Islands and all that breathed therein. He began casting surreptitious glances at a buxom Hawaiian woman, and finding himself unobserved began to display his feelings more openly and essayed a few soft embraces for the winning smiles which were being showered upon him by the daughter of the sunny isl ands.
 At this point in the proceedings the husband of the woman became aware of what was going on and he turned upon the officer with the fury of a tiger. He struck the young officer a blow which stretched him out on the floor and a fight followed
 The young officers friends went to his assistance, but the insult of young Blaine to the Hawaiian woman was too gross for even the peace loving, good natured natives to overlook, and the young American guests in whose honor the entertainment was being given were thrown out of the residence and had they not taken to flight and hid themselves on their transport one or more of the party might now be Oc- cupying graves under the lordly palms of Americas new possessions.

DROWNED AT MARE ISLAND. Joseph C. Harding, Plumber, Falls
 From the Adams.

VALLEJO, Aug. 20-Joseph C. Hard ing, a resident of this city, was drowned at Mare Island this afternoon. He was a plumber and was working on the scuppers of the Adams, when he climbed over the side to reach a small staging. A life line was maintained at this point, but he failed to reach it and fell between the staging and ship.
 It is believed that he struck his head in falling Boats from naval vessels and Vallejo dragged for the body, which was found about two hours later and brought to Vallejo. Deceased was a popular young man and a member of one of Vallejo's best families.

future consideration; In many in- stances there would be knotty ques- tons to be solved There were certain fixed principles and laws governing Such transfers of sovereignty, and they were simple, but as regards such per sons as were neither American nor Ha- Wallan citizens the question of citizen snip would be one for further instruc- tons. The question of a man who had been an American citizen, but who was now Hawaiian, was placed before him, and the Ministers personal, not oIlclai' impression was that no oath was, Tor the present at least. required,
 Knowing that Minister Cooper had transferred the question of compensa- ton to British and other foreign resi- dents for imprisonment during the 1895 affair to MT Sewall. 1 ventured to ask him to confirm the fact, which he read fly did. The papers in the matter have been forwarded to Washington, where the representatives of the foreign pow CTS concerned will take up the matter. The probability is that at convenient season the precedent of the Japanese claims will be followed, and in view of the amicable relations existing between the United States and the several coun- tries interested. including Great Brit ain, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Den mark and Norway and Sweden, they will be dealt with according to their merits. The claims made by American citizens on the same grounds have been similarly dealt with.
 I am informed by reliable authority that the discussion of these matters will lead to unpleasant comments of diplomatic breach of faith on the part of the Foreign Office of Hawaii, not a novel charge by any means.
