Mr.. J. L. Thompson was among

wraduated this week and received
the degree of L. L. B. Mr.. Thomp-

er Editor much success in the pro-
fession of his choice. There is not
more hard work in the practice of
law, but we assure you there is bet
ter pay than in the newspaper busi-
ness.-Columbus Chronicle.
We think brother Coleman that your
statement is true in fact we hope that
law will prove more profitable, at least
here, than the journalistic field, yet we
realize that all colored professionals
have rough rocky road to travel in the
great world of practical business.
Thinking possible that can tell you
more about the legal profession in a
few years then I can now, at which
time might think different.

Below we give you clipping from
the New York City Photographic
World, May 1898:
"Why is it that the colored people Of
education have not taken up the pro-
fession of short hand? The Capital
City Commercial Colleg of Des Moines,
Iowa have had two who have attempt
ed the course, one giving it up for the
ministry. the other, Miss Zella Davis,
graduating from that school with a
splendid record She also graduated
from the East Des Moines High School,
worked for a year OIL two in the Census
Department at the Capital and is now
employed by the Des moihes Life Insur-
ancc Company, of that city. She is
making for herself a very good reputa-
ton as stenographer."
i We ourselves wonder why our
people do not study short hand and
stenography or even telegraphy?
The courses are not very long or ex-
pensive and the field less crowded.
We should prepare ourselves for diff
ferent professions and enter all ave-
nues of business.

THE VAR.

1t seems that the war might be
prolonged longer than was at first
anticipated. Owing to the fact that
Spanish fleets do not wish to meet
us. The Cape Verde feet has dodge
US thus far, evidently trying to evade
meeting our American vessels. If
we could meet them and have one or
two more naval engagements, it
might practically end the war. Samp-
son and schley are both hunting the
Cape Verde Fleet, and the latest
reports is that it is bottled up in the
Santiago De Cuba channel. If true,
they are locked up and the long,
anxious watch for a fghn may not
come off.

Decoration Day.

On next Monday the loyal liberty
loving and patriotic people of America
will meet at the various cemeteries,
parks and burial places to strew flow
ers, mingled with tears of sorrow over
the graves where lies the dust of the
departed patriots, comrades and broth
ers. 1t is their annual pilgrimage made
so by custom and usage. All nations
honor their patriotic dead; so it is but
fitting that we should. 1t teaches an
object lesson to the youth; it teaches
patriotism, love of country, love of
freedom and loyalty. Decoration day
should be day of joy for the living
soldiers and tears foa their dead com.
rades, pity for their sufferings and
praises for their valor. Our heart fills
with emotion when we think of the
suffering, hardships, trials, and torture
they endured for the blessings we now
enjoy. May we ever remember and
cherish their memory through all ages.
