THE COLOREO BROTHER.
Not n Good Tenant for the southern
Landlord.


Landlord.
The typical negro tenant arrives at a
new home in mule wagon or OK carr
with bundle of rags, a frying pan and
q covey of children, and he stays with a
landlord who may have saved him from
restitution by advancing provisions and
dry goods only so long as the caprice OF
the hour dictates. says Lippincotts.
Land owners who have sunk into finan-
cial ruin by mortgagng their property
have nearly always been dragged into
the slough by the effort to help their
negroes out of il. The crop made by the
average negro farmer is subject TO many
contingencies besides those of the
weather. He does not hesitate to leave
his field at the most critical season il
pleasure calls him; big meetings" he
never can resist and these take place
during the important agricultural
months of July and August, first at one
church and then at another. After the
mules have been working hard all the
week in this busy season they are often
driven ten TO fifteen miles on Sundays.
carrying wagonloads of men, women
and children, long bright ribbons fly
ing out from the heads of the female
members of the family, whose hair has
been tightly plated and bound with
cords during the week in order to pro-
duce a holiday sensation in an ample
psyche-knot at the back and bushel-
like roundness in front; they appear in
fancy waists and big sleeves and regale
themselves and their friends with
dinner of fried chicken, cake and water
melons after the meeting, rags being
good enough 10 wear, hoe cake and
bacon good enough to eat during the
week. Like his African ancestors, the
American negro is miserable without
Publications and feastings; if he can
have them he will do a hard job of work
between times.

1t is understood that the Eastern
Democrats, headed by HILL Murphy,
Croaker, Smith of New Jersey and
others, are planning to make Chief
Justice Parker, of New York, the candi-
date of the Democratic party in 1900 to
the exclusion of such extreme free silver
men as Bryan Bailey. and other western
and southern aspirants for the nomin-
alton. Justice Parker has record as a
moderate silver man, not an extremist,
and the plan of the people who are
working to this end is to shape the
nomination and the platform in way to
relegate the silver question to back
seat upon the platform, though not en-
tirely out of view, making government
by injunction and other fads Of this sort
the cry with which to catch the popular
ear, and emitting the tariff entirely

WOMAN'S SOPRANO VOICE.
Why She Can Reach Much Higher
Tones Than Is PossibIe for Man.


The scientist who discovered in the
human larynX the anatomical reason
why woman has a soprano voice and a
man a bass one was a woman, Mrs.
Emma Seller, says the Philadelphia
Times. She was a German, born in
Nurtzburg. Left a widow with two
children to support, she resolved to be
come teacher of singing, but sudden
ly lost her voice. Then she determined
TO find out why; also to discover the cor
rect method of singing, so that others
might not lose their voices. For this
purpose she studied anatomy. She dis
sected larynX after larynx and spent
years in her search, trying to find for
one thing why womens head tones
could reach high c while men had no
soprano tones. At length her search
was rewarded. She discovered under
the microscope one day two small,
wedge-shaped cartilages whose action
produces the highest tones Of the hui
man voice. She made her discovery
public. 1t excited great attention
among scientists. Her own brother,
physician, praised the treatise in the
highest terms till he found his own
sister had written it. Then he dashed
it down, saying in rage that she would
be better attending to her homework.

is in possession of the American Phil
osophical society of Philadelphia, of
which she was a member. She wrote
among other books, THE Voice in Sing
ing" and The Voice in Speaking"

The example Of which the farmers Of
this country have set in utilizing their
surplus money in paying off debts is
being followed, perhaps involuntarily,
by the great enterprises whose securities
were largely held abroad. The enorm.
Gus trade balances in our favor Of the
past year are being largely settled by
the return of American securities for
payment instead of sending gold to set
tie the balance as has been formerly the
custom. This change on the part of
European money lenders is believed TO
be due to the constant agitation of the
silver leaders and the fear which this
agitation creates lest they obtain control
and through injudicious legislation re-
duce the value of American securities
generally.

Every day seems to make matters
worse for the calamityites who are pro-
posing to pool their issues i'll the com
ing Congressional campaign. First
wheat went up, then the mills opened,
and their opening was followed by an
advance in farm products generally
then wages increased, and now the
Dingley law is bringing in money
enough to meet the running expenses of
the Government and getting ready TO
create a surplus This is all very hard
on the people who have insisted that
prices could not advance without the
free coinage Of silver, that protective
s&iff would not start up the mills or
Increase wages or employment, and that
the Dingley law would not produce suffi-
cient revenue to meet the expenses Of
the Government 1t is unfortunate for
them that all this should have happened
before election, but extremely lucky for
the people, who will thus escape being
misled by renewal of the false assert
ions which these croakers made in 1896,
and have reiterated at every opportu
nifty since that time.

THE TAME FAWN.
An Old Dame Who Narrowly Escaped
with Her Life.

An Old Dame VINO Narrowly Escaped
with Her Life.
Although it does not appreciate con-
dnement in paddock, it is easy to
tame a fawn and it makes a delightful
pet until it attains to years of indiscre-
ton, says the Badminton Magazine. A
tame roe used to follow the children
everywhere round the old castle of
Duntroon and even up the stairs and
into the rooms. One of his little play
fellows had been obliged to give up his
room TO a gentleman who had come to
stay there and the surprise of the guest
was unbounded when the head and
neck of roe protruded through his
half-open door. Dear mel" he said,
game must be extremely plentiful in
these parts
Yet, just as kitten would be the most
delightful of pets except for it's IN
fortunate habit of growing into a cat,
so roe and especially buck, becomes
too much of handful as pet when It
grows up. Their beautiful little horns
are both sharp and dangerous and
tame roebuck very nearly put an old
woman off the road and in TO the Crinan
canal by its obtrusive attentions. II
meant no harm; it really expected to
get lump of rock salt, with which it
had usually been rewarded for its
caresses, but the old dame did not ap-
preciate its uncanny approaches and
narrowly escaped with her life.

WEATHER in AUGUST.
Observer H. E. Paine Has Compiled
Figures That Are of Great In
terest-Was a Warm Month.

II. Z. Paine, local voluntary weather
observer, has a very interesting re-
port for the weather of the last month.
Few months have been as peculiar from
a weather observers point of view as
August.
In dealing with weather reports now
a-days most of us first speak of how
hot or cool it was or it is Well during
August the highest of maximum tenn
perature was "a degrees, being that on
August "a. The lowest or minimum
temperature was 43 degrees for August
2S The maximum mean temperature
for the month was S2.77 and the mini
mum temperature was 60.40 degrees.
Adding these two and dividing by two
one easily finds the mean temperature
for the month as 71.32 degrees. The
mean range over which the tempera-
ture travelled is recorded as 2230.
Often hand in hand with tempera-
ture Quotations we have humidity.
Naturally we revert to the DAYS as
being fair, clear or cloudy. Surprising
as 1t may seem the clear days number
IA, partly cloudy 10. and cloudy Z. Out
of the seven cloudy days we got four
big thunder storms and on August 4,
one of the severe thunder storms which
will be recalled happened on Saturday
evening, is recorded as having the
heaviest precipitation or rain fall.
80 inches is the recorded depth.
For the whole month the precipita-
tion is recorded as 3.S2 inches. Au-
gust 3 and 16 each had .02 inches,
which was the lowest for the month.
Though there were seventeen days
partly cloudy or cloudy there We're only
twelve days upon which rain fell. APP
parently the rain fall occurred more
frequently during the p. m. than a. M,
as a glance over the recorded hours of
beginning and ending would indicate.
During the month the winds We're
south or west, or southwest, so the
prevailing winds are recorded as south
west. September, now opening, ap-
pears to have accepted the legacy of
the last two. weeks of August so far
as high temperature is concerned, and
is sustaining the record left by Au-
gust

Fire on the Hill.

Lively work by the occupants and
neighbors prevented a disastrous fire
early yesterday morning in the house
occupied by John Frutchie and owned
by +. +. Wood. Clothes hanging near
the kitchen stove caught fire and com
municated the flames to the woodwork.
An alarm was sounded at 6.35 o'clock
from box 10. Several men were for
tunately in the vicinity and had the
flames partly subdued when the fire
companies arrived. Chemical extinr
guishers from the Relief and Century
wagons completed the work. The dam
age to the building and contents was
not over $3.50.
