Dinerence of oninion.

A very charming st. Paul woman, who
makes her summer home at White Bear,
routed the police force of that village af-
ter brief encounter Friday, says the st.
Paul Globe.
Mrs. 3. rides a bike, of course. and when
it became necessary for her to go to the
grocery or the postofice or wherever it
was that she had to 60 she, of course,
mounted her wheel.
Now. at times, the streets in the village
of White Bear are not the real thing for
wheeling, and the town authorities know
the same. With a view 70 having the
streets pressed out fiat by bieyclists they
have passed an ordinance forbidding any
one riding on the sidewalk.
Mrs. B. either did not know this or she
did not care; she took to the walk and
rode down town. She left her wheel out
side and went into store, and when she
came out she found herself confronted by
the dignitary who is the whole thing in
police circles-the man who is to the po-
lice department what the lone mariner
was to the Nancy brig.
He said to the lady:
You are under arrest" She looked at
him and made a dash for her wheel,
which he had captured. He retired before
the onslaught in disorder and she got
the wheel.
II am what?" she demanded
you are under arrest for riding on
the walk"
But I won't be under arrest" she said.
but you are" he said
81 am not anything of the kind. You
mind your own businessr'
But, mum, it is my business, and you
must go to the Justices office with me or
promise that you will be there at o'clock
in the morning"
4 won't do anything of the kind
but I tell you 1 arrest you.
"And I tell you I won't be arrested.
There you are. Now what are you going
to do about it?'
"oh, come on, now; come to the JUS
tees Office
81 won't do it. I'll pay fine if that's
what you want. How much is it?'
81 don't take the fine. You must go to
the justice" said the unfortunate copper
where is. the justice, them"
He's down on the brige ishin', I guess
Won't you promise to be on hand in the
morning?"
NO 1 won't"
Then I'll have to arrest you"
And 1 tell you I won't be arrested
and I'm going home"
The copper scratched his head and look
ed as though he was going to make an
other sally on the bike. Mrs. B. got
aboard of the wheel
You're nasty, mean thing and I'm
going to tell my husband that you said ]
was arrested" she said, and she rode off
and the copper went down on the bridge
and helped the justice fish, and the crowd
that had gathered gave him the laugh.

Information comes from London that
one Of the great schemes of the bank
rupted hnancier, Ernest Terah Hooley,
was the purchase of the Island of Cuba
He proposed to form an enormous syndi-
cate with a capital of 900 100000 for the
purpose of carrying out the venture, and
the matter is said to have reached a
point where negotiations were begun with
Spanish officials. but fell through on ac-
count of the fear of a popular uprising in
Spain. If there had been no fears from
that source, doubtless other causes would
have made the plan fall through Just as
easily.

The Price of DIsobedience.

In one of his campaigns, says Spare Mo
ments, Frederick the Great of Prussia, to
prevent his whereabouts from being be-
trayed to the enemy, ordered all lights to
be extinguished a a certain hour. The pen
atty of disobedience was TO be death. The
king occasionally passed through the camp
at night 10 ascertain whether his order was
strictly attended to.
One night he observed a light in one OF
the tents, and entering 1t, found an Of
ficer sitting at table closing a letter.
Asked how he dared thus disregard the
kings command, the officer replied that
he had been writing a letter to his wife.
The king ordered him to open his letter,
to take mis- pen and to add these words
Before this letter reaches your hands
shall have been shot for disobeying an or
der of the king"
The sentence was harsh, but the crime
was great, risking as it did the lives of
thousands. Fredericks orders were ever
afterWard strictly obeyed.

Denth Rnte of the Negro Rnce,

The Annual Negro Conference recently
held at Hampton Institute, at Hampton,
Va, gave the race the key note to which
it must attune its efforts if it would make
mental, moral and material progress. 1t
was the sense of the conference that facts
must be looked squarely in the face, how
ever disagreeable they might be, and that
there must be no more hiding of facts,
lodging them or apologising for them be-
cause they CHANGED 10 be collected or eX-
plotted by persons of another race. What
is needed is to seek the truth, and having
found it, to endeavor by faithful and con-
scientious efforts to change those condi-
lions which are inimical to the best inter
ests of the race.
One paper read at the conference which
took commercially broad and strong
grounds on the lines indicated
was that of DR.. F. J. Shadd.
of Washington. His subject was
the excessive mortality of the negro
race, and he handled it in an able man
ner There is no room for questioning the
fact that the black people are dying at
a greater rate than the white people. This
is true of the rural districts as well as of
the cities. and of the Northern section of
the country as web as the Southern.
White physicians and scientists have
Investigated the matter and reached
the conclusion that the cause of the large
and increasing mortality rate among the
negroes is their personal habits, their dis
regard OF hygienic laws and their laxity
In lie
scented by some of the leaders of the race
but DR. Shadd has the courage to tell his
people that there is great deal of truth
an it, that they must face it, however dis
agreeable it may be, and use their best
endeavors to remove the causes which are
sapping the races vitality.
Among the most fruitful causes of the
negro's high death rate, according to DR.
Shadd, are Infant mortality, tuberculosis
scrofuloss, specific infection, gastro-in-
testinai diseases, heredity and environ
menu" Most of these conditions. the Doc
tory says, can be changed by the individ-
ual himself without the aid of outside in
fluences He asserts that, strange as il
may seem, the negro is mot susceptible
and diphtheria." Consumption however. is
a great enemy of the race. and il is trans
mitted and fostered by the habits of the
people. The sanitary conditions in which
negroes live In the cHies of both the South
ana the North are often sufficient 10 be a
menace to the public health, as well as to
that of the individuals who create and live
among them. The conclusion which he
reached is that the race is in grave
danger of having it's health DESTROYED
b. conditions Of freedom which were
not present at all during slavery.
The remedy, says Or. Shadd. must
come from the negroes themselves. They
must live more carefully; ia both their
physical and moral lives they must
be cleaner. 1t is the duty of the
leaders among The blacks to impress this
upon the non-thinkers. DR.. Shadd has In
stituted a good work

From the Macon Telegraph Dem.).

The State Agricultural Society never did
a better thing than it has done in taking
up the question of industrial education.
The state can spend money to no better
purpose than by making provision to raise
up its young men and young women to be
able to take up the work of utilizing her
vast natural resources as they can and
should be utilized.
All that is needed to make this the rich
est and greatest of all the states is the
ability of our people to take advantage of
what we have.
