MAKES A PLEA FOR NEGROES.
Booker II. Washington Sends a Letter

Booker II. Washington Sends a Letter
to the Louisiana Convention.
Booker T. Washington, the promi-
nent colored leader and educator Of
Tuskogee, Ala, in an open letter to the
Louisiana constitutional convention,
now in session in New Orleans, in which,
after explaining the motives which
prompt him to address the convention,
among other things, says:
'Since the war no state has had such
an opportunity to settle the race question,
so far as it concerns politics, as is now
given Louisiana.
1.-THE negro agrees with you that it is
necessary to the salvation of the south that
restriction be put upon the ballot. l know
that you have two serious problems before
you-ignorant and corrupt government on
the one hand, and on the other a way to
restrict the ballot so that control will be
in the hands of the intelligent without re-
gard to race. With the sincerest SYM
pathy with you in your efforts to find a
way out of the difficulty. want to sug-
gest that no state in the south can make
a law that will provide an opportunity OF
temptation for an ignorant white man to
vote and withhold the same opportunity
from an ignorant colored man without in
juring both men. Any law controlling the
ballot that is not absolutely just and fair
to both races will work more permanent
injury to the whites than to the blacks.
II beg of you further that in the degree
that you close the ballot box against the
ignorant that you open the schoolhouse.
More than one-half of the people of your
state are negroes. No state can long pros
per when large percentage of its citi-
zenship is in ignorance and poverty and
has no interest in government.
Let the best educational opportunities
be provided for both races; and, added to
this the enactment of an election law that
shall be incapable Of unjust discrimina-
ton; at the same time providing that in
proportion as the ignorant secure educa-
ton, property and character, they will be
given all the rights of citizenship. Any
other course will take from one-haf your
citizens interest in the state and the hope
and ambition to become intelligent pro-
ducers and taxpayers-to become useful
and virtuouS citizens"

WILD BULL ON A STEAMBOAT.

Scatters the Passengers While They
Are at Dinner-Is Finally Captured
The Seguranca, of the Ward line, was
sent to Martins dock, Brooklyn, the
other day to unload it's cargo. The
of it's own on board, of which the pas
sengers, in their eage1ness to tell of the
Maine explosion, forgot about telling
until later. This excitement was caused
by a Mexican bull, which terrorized
passengers and crew for half an hour,
came near goring the boatswain to
death, and was finally lassoed by the
captain.
The bull had been put on the main
deck with 800 other Mexican cattle
Thirty or 40 passengers were at dinner
when the bull suddenly appeared at a
door on the port side. There were no
diners fortunately on that side of the
ship. The bull just put his horns under
the end chair, which was secured to the
floor. He tore it loose and tossed it
over the table. There was a wild STAN
pede of passengers for the starboard
doors. The bull kept on tossing chairs
until he had disposed of eight. He also
smashed three or four big lamps.
The passengers reached the grand
staircase, from which they viewed
further proceedings. The boatswain
was less fortunate than the rest. The
bull cornered him and with a snort
rushed toward him with horns down.
Luckily chair stood between. Up went
the bulls horns and up to the ceiling
went the chair and the boatswain.
When he came down the bull charged
him again, but the boatswain escaped,
minus most of his clothing. An end to
the rampage was made by the bull be-
ing roped.

NEW TEST OF HYPNOTlSM
To Be Used in Efecting a Cure Of
Moral Diseases.
Unique Plan of NeurOlOgists to Rem-
edy Troubles at Denver's Indus
trial Home for Gir1s-GOOd
Results Expected.

A solution of the difficulties at the
Industrial Home for Girls at Denver,
COL, is in sight. That is, there is plan
to that end under discussion among a
number of the physicians of the city.
1t is proposed to hypnotic the girls,
and while in that state suggestions will
be made which may influence them
toward better lives. Some of the lead
ing neurologists of the city have used
the power very extensively in their
practice.
1.-THE girls can be handled very sue
cessfully by the power of suggestion"
said one of the doctors. The fact is,
they have been wrought up to such a
hysterical state that they are especially
good subjects for hypnotic suggestion.
The influence of hysterical women who
tried to rule them, but had not sufficient
strength of will to handle themselves,
first set the girls loose.
ut is peculiar fact that when several
persons become Historically inclined
they go from bad to worse without be-
ing conscious of the fact. All the minds
seem to pulsate in the one channel, and
the individuals actually influence each
other in keeping excited. If one per-
son of strong, determined purpose
comes in contact with these persons and
cares to exercise soothing effect upon
their minds he can do so very success
fully"
Preliminary work which may lead up
to the hypnotic experiments has been
made. DR.. Pershing went to the home
to examine into the mental condition
of some of the inmates. One girl has
been wrought up to such high nervous
tension that without any apparent
cause she suddenly begins shouting and
cursing at the top of her voice. It was
found after lengthy examination that
this inmate was morally dead.
The other girls were all found to be
amenable to lesser treatment, but were
intensely nervous. Much of this nerv-
BUSINESS was believed to be due to the
strain of the last month, and remedies
for the alienation of the conditions will
be applied as soon as the necessary aid
is secured.

Descriptions of the new uniforms for
the police force of New York city, sug-
gested by Chief McCullagh and ap-
proved by the police commissioners
have been made public. The regula-
tons concerning them will go into eff
feet on June l next. when the first pa
rade of the police force of the new city
of New York will be held. The uni
forms of the 1900 policemen of the city
will under these regulations be more
military in character than they have
been heretofore, and all the different
squads, including the mounted police,
the bicycle police, the harbor police and
the park police, will present the same
appearance. The gray of the park po-
lice will be discarded for blue, and it is
intended that some day the patrol
wagons and all the apparatus OF the
department shall be finished in royal
blue.

er style, and seven-button CATERS OF
similar goods, reaching within two
inches of the knee, will be worn in sum-
mer. Leather CATERS will be worn in

.UNBROKEN FOR I24 YEARS.
Letter Opened Last Week Before
Massachusetts Colonial Society.

Letter Opened Last Week Before
Massachusetts Colonial Society.
At the February meeting of the
Colonial Society of Massachusetts, held
in the hall of the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences, at Boston, the men,
bers of the association were entertained
by the reading of letter that was 124
years old. The seal being broken for
the first time. The letter was written
by Henry Pelham to Elihu Hall at
Salem, Mass, reminding him of his sud-
den departure from Boston, Oh his way
to England, without having paid for the
portrait of himself which Pelham had
painted. This letter had been sent un-
der cover to another correspondent,
and was never delivered, probably be-
cause Mr.. Hall had already left our
shores.
This letter was one of a number of
family papers once belonging to the
Pelhams and Bromfelds, and was con-
tributed by benson Rogers Slade, who
broke the seal. Among the new facts
brought out by these papers are the
date of the death of Mrs. Peter Pei
ham, the mother of John Singleton
Copley, and the fact that Henry Pei
ham, his half brother, was established
as portrait painter in Boston as early
as 1774.
Mr.. Slade expressed the opinion that
some of the canvases which have here
tofore been regarded as late Smiberts
or early Copleys were in reality the
work of Henry Pelham.

Hog Cholera.

A western exchange quotes H. H.
Kinds, president of the Michigan state
live stock sanitary commission, as say
ing: cit is the most highly contagious
disease, and we don't know how to sup
press it. The boots of farmers and the
feet of stock may carry the germs from
an infected herd to herd miles away
Where infected hogs run down to a
stream to drink the germs will be car
ried along that stream clear to the ocean,
might say.
"While we don't know how to sup
press the conditions demand the adop-
ton of such sanitary and quarantine
measures as will protect the herds. One
Of these measures is to practically stop
the trade in swine between farmers.
Another is to quarantine the herds on
the farms, especially if infected. A
third is to stop dogs running through
the environments of herds. for they car
ry the germs with them. In marketing
hogs they should be drawn to market,
not driven along the highway The
man who has cholera in his herd should
drive the we'll hogs into new environ
ment, leaving the sick ones behind.
There are scores of so called cholera
cures, but want to warn you that none

DANCES IN COURT IN TIGHTS
La Belle Frieda Thus Wins Her Case
and Her Freedom.

La Belle Frieda Thus Wins Her Case
and Her Freedom.
For the first time in history a girl
won her case in a Massachusetts court
the other day by dance in tights.
Certain Bostonians had felt that a
dancing exhibition in a western resort
was scandalous and invited the aid of
the Watch and Ward society to close it
up. A raid was made and La Belle
Frieda and Phil Pamb berg, the couchee-
couchee dancers, were arrested. When
arraigned in court before Judge Ely
their counsel proposed as a defense a
correct exhibition of the couchee-
couchee and the Judge adjourned court
to the lobby to witness it.
Frieda retired to a juryroom and put
on her tights and then appeared and
danced. His honor followed her every
movement closely from start to finish.
Then Pamberg danced, but he did not
cut much ice in the judicial mind after
the girl.
After the show Judge Ely dwelt on
dancing generally and said he did not
see anything criminal in the couchee-
couchee and he ordered the respondent
discharged. 1t was a gay day in Bos-
tons courthouse

FINDS FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.
San Francisco Man Says 1t IL Etsled
with Olive Oil,

with Ol1ve O1I.
Capt. G. E. Diamond, of San Francisco,
is hale and hearty at lO2 years OF age.
He splits wood. does ordinary chores.
and moves about like an active man Of
60. The secret of his longevity and alb
sence of physical ailments he ascribea
to the free use of olive oil.
Following the Biblical precept, Capt.
Diamond has for 80 years anointed him
self daily. He began the practice in
his seventy-second year, when his eye
sight began to fail. He found relief in
daily rubbings with the oil, and grad
ually extended it to other portions of
his body, until he is to-day, to use his
own words, free from all pains, aches
and infirmities which usually attend
old age"
His example has become contagious
in San Francisco. and there are some
so old people who meet at the rooms of
Mrs. Caroline Parrish. in the Sherman
house, and go through the amounting
process. All of them claim to have
found virtue init.
''Olive oils the best thing in the
world" Capt. Diamond said. 1T cured
me when l was half blind" He nodded
his head emphatically and called to
mind the fact that that same head with
it's oil-cured eyes had been on those
same shoulders in the days of George
Washington.
Capt. Diamond has lived his century
alone. He has watched men come and
60 into the beyond and the world pass
and he has lived through many an
experience, but he has never married.
Before he lives his next century out,
however, he intends to take a partner.
He is already corresponding with an old
lady who is six years his senior.
But she can still dance, and so can he
and she sings, too, as we'll as ever in
her life, and she is also filled with the
grace of the goodness of olive oil. And
she claims that they can live forever,
and be happy as long as time shall last,
and that they have discovered the foun-
tain of life, and it is filed with olive oil!

WHEAT BY IRRIGATION.
Preparation of the Soil-Kind of Seed {
Sow-When to Irrigate.

Preparation of the Soil-Kind of Seed to
Sow-When to Irrigate.
A writer who has had long experience
with wheat under irrigation in Colo
RADIO, writing in the Edgemont Express,
emphasizes the Importance of deep
blowing, pulverizing the soil and hav-
ing the surface in smooth condition
to receive the water from the lateral
easily, evenly and uniformly. Then
SOW the grain, after being immersed in
blue vitriol water to kill the smut, as
early after Feb. as frost will permit.
This applies to spring wheat The best
implement for the purpose up to the
present is the press drill.
AS to seed, the writer quoted gives
preference to two varieties namely,
White Australian and Defance-both
Of which he considers particularly
adapted to the soil and climate of Fall
River county. The Defiance is the mill
er's choice and brings higher price
in the market. Why? Because it makes
three pounds more -four to the bushel
than any other variety grown in the
WOSt. IL ILLS 1S tTu0 VI DouduC0s WHY
do you uphold the Australian variety:
Although it is softer wheat, yet under
the same conditions it yields from two
to eight bushels more than Defiance.
Therefore if the farmer has to take 5
cents per hundred less for Australian
with this yield he is still ahead. Either
Of these varieties will stand until fully
ripe, and stand to be handled without
Smelling to any great extent.
The subject when to irrigate is con-
sidered in this instance under favorable
conditions Different conditions would,
therefore, make exceptions to this rule.
eff the soil is in best of condition and
the season favorable, the first irrigation
should take place when the grain be-
comes solid mat upon the ground and
is stooliDg. i thoroughly and carefully
irrigated at lis time, it should carry ii
along until tie head shoots out and the
berry Is fling. Then it should be
thoroughly soaked again to give plump
ness to the berry and make the head fill

tions this will make a wheat crop that
will yield from 80 to 60 bushels per acre
if the soil is fertile enough to produce
it.
