The education Of the negro race is
imperative. All the races of mankind
should be educated. but the education
of the negro race has been on the leap
frog style. as in most everything else.
The teachers have been in hurry TO
'.gradoatc' the scholars. The scholars

They began their education ct the top,

grade certificate to teach in the public
schools
The question is often asked What
kind of education does the negro race
seed T. For the present, the masses
should have Industrial, mechanical aod
literary training. Those who Wish to
become teachers, preachers, physicians
aod lawyers should bavs the higher or
classical education, bus as We are

Horse Feed company has been incor-
porated with a capital stock of $25,-

CASE THAT DIDN'T WORK.
How Mrs. Grady Defeated a Chicago JUS
tfce shop Proceeding.

How Mrs. Grady Defeated n Chicago JUS
tfce shop Proceeding.
A forcible Illustration of the
methods employed in the Chicago
Justice shops is furnished in a
snap-judgment proceeding recently
instituted against Mrs. P. Grady, of
Rock Island, but which, however,
was subsequently defeated through
the persistencv OF the defendant.
r. NJ. Mcmahon. a Chicago attor-
ney, did some legal work for Mrs.
Grady, for which she says she paid
him. having his receipt for the same.
In July, 1896, Mcmahon obtained a
judgment in Justice Fitzgerald's
court for $40 against Mrs. Grady, a
constable, zone NJ. j. Duffy, having
returned the summons as served,
when in fact he had not seen Mrs.
Grady at all. as she was at her home
in this city at the time. A transcript
of the Judgment was taken to the
Cook county circuit court, and after
ward filed in the Rock Island county
circuit court, where it served as a
lien against Mrs. Grady's property.
Mrs. Grady declared the whole
proceeding a scheme to extort money
from her. She referred the case to
her son, j. E. Grady, whose home is
in Chicago. He employed counsel.
The matter was taken before Judge
f. w. Burke. of the circuit court,
who after learning the facts, scored
those connected with the affair, and
entered an order of dismissal.

BOY Out of Jail.

Ray Hammerly, aged II. who has
been confined in the county Jail since
May 20, held to the grand jury for the
theft of a bicycle lamp, was permitted
to enter plea of guilty in the county
court yesterday afternoon. Judge
Adams accepted his personal recog-
nizance to appear for sentence. The
boy was told that if he behaved he
would escape further punishment,
but that the next time he was heard
from in the role of an evil-doer he
would be taken in and given the full
benefit of the law. States Attorney
Searle gave the little fellow "a fatherly
lecture, and Ray solemnly promised

NEW YORK, Dec, PA special
from washington says: David ]. Hill,
assistant secretary Of state, said that
the disposition Of the property of the
Catholic church in the Philippines rests
with Congress and not with the state
department. He continued:
II should think that court similar
to that which was organized after tn :
annexation OF our Mexican possessions
will be the proper way to determine the
ownership of landed estates. This
court OF private land claims has xam-
ined the title OF innumerable pieces Of
church property In New Mexico, Ari-
zona and California and 1t has given
universal satisfaction.
There is no reason whatever for
Catholics TO think that their churches
will not be honornbly treated by the
United States government, Nor is there
any reason for any one to believe that
the administration VIII not proceed on
broad lines, aiming to form for the
Philippine islands government which
will develop them socially, religiously
and materially"

a Case IN chicago slmilar to that Of
Iiuetgert.


Inetgerg.
CHICAGO, Dec. s2-The coroner's I'm
quest was begun to-day in the case Of
Mrs. Michael Rollinger. who the police
assert. was murdered and partially Gre
mated by her husband. The accused
man somewhat startled the police and
spectators when confronted by Lena
Hecker. the woman for whose sake the
crime is alleged to have been commits
ted. by Btolldly staring 1t her and then
declaring that he did not know her and
had never even met her before. This
action on the part Of the accused man,
coupled with his apparent indifference
to his surroundings lead the police 20
believe that Rolllnger is feiSning In
sanity.
The Journal to-day points out twenty
points OF remarkable similarity be-
tween the Rolllnger case and that Of
AdOlph Luetgert. now serving q lie
sentence for wife murder. Love Of q
woman other than his wife Is asserted
to have been the leading cause OF both
alleged murders. Each Of the murders,
It Is claimed. was by strangulati0n.
Both men, one Of whom was q sausage
maker and a German. the other
butcher and an Austrian, quarrelled
continually with their wives. and both
suffered business reverses prior to the
alleged crimes. Luetgert and Rollinger
were well acquainted with each other
and lived in the same quarter OF the
city. In the Rolllnger case. as In tho
Luetgert. a wedding ring will play an
important part in the establishment Of
the corpus deficit. Mrs. Rollinger's
body has been exhumed and her we'd
ding ring cut from her finger.
