GERMAN CoLoRED FOLK.
A Commercial Travellers Experience
in Pennsy
(Frem the New York sun. ,


Reading, Pa. Oct. S-"One of the most
unusual experiences l have ever had"
said commercial traveller occurred
two days ago in Lebanon County. I met
number of colored men. women and
children who spoke nothing but German.
Before the day was around | met at least
fifty colored people who spoke German
And when it came to speaking E,nglist.
they were not al all at their ease I
asked how this came about and was told
that the colored people came twenty
thirty and forty years ago, up from the
South and settled among the quiet Penn
sylrania German farmers of the Blue
Mountain districts. The coiored children
grew up on the farms. where they worked
and heard nothing but German spoken
They soon forgot nearly all the English
they knew and now rarely speak any
thing but German. Their children go IN
English country schools in Winter but as
quickly as they are out of sight of their
teacher they begin to talk the German
dialect. and nothing else. have been
told that in recent years in Germany
colored people speaking the language can
be found in numbers. but they also speak
English. These Pennsylvania German,
negroes of whom | speak use absolutely
nothing but the German in their erdi-
nary affairs of life They are good farm
ers. live on PENNSYLVANIA German cook
ing and have all the habits and customs
of the Germans.

Chestertown,s MnU FaciIi,,.s

Chestertown, Md, Nov 1s-Mr. Cum
mings, of the Postoffice Department at
Washington, was in Chestertown Thurs
day TO devise some means by which
Chestertown may be given better mail IA
cilities. This town has three banks a
population of over 5000 and thriving
business. The only mail going out leaves
the postOffice at o'clock a m conse-
quently any letters or other mail matter
must be mailed the night before or long
before the business hours OF the day of
mailing. The only incoming mail is dis
tr1buted from the office at about o'clock
p. m, and often later. This schedule does
not include mails by boat, which leave a
half hour later than the train. affording
really no additional mail facilities. and
bring no daily papers. Mr.. Cummings
rode over the route from Chestertown 10
Prices Station, on the Queen Anne and
Kent Road, via Church HILL and is hope
ful that an additional mail may be ar
ranged But this would afford but little
relief.
