| certain amount of land and can read portion of the constitution he is nov supposed to be allowed to vote. Thi
 sounds well, and would be well if i were not for trickery and corruption 1 The portion of the constitution whicf the ignorant and poor white man car
 read with ease seems to prove an insur | mountable obstacle to the negro ant technicalities arise which serve to dis bar him from voting. It is here that the trickery comes in and that the negro feels he is being imposed upon. If tht
 men of the south would act honestly and openly with the negro we, of the north would say, God speed to them But as it stands now the negro stands
 in danger of becoming serf again"
 In closing the speaker discussed the
 lynchings and the outrages of the negro
 in the south. He said that everybody
 is agreed as to the penalty to be i'm
 posed upon the negro when he com-
 mits this crime. Death by hanging is
 the only just penalty to be imposed
 But Is the lynching, the burning. the
 mutilating of the body right? The
 courts down there are all right, and if
 the brutes were to be brought before
 them the sentence would be short and proper. But when the law is set aside it arOuses a sentiment of pity for the negro. It demoralizes the white man and it arouses the black mans brethren to fury. The mob disgraces the south in the eyes of the civilized world.
 Now what is the most expedient way to treat the problem presented by this bewildering variety of negro character. Shall we ship him to Africa as Bishop Turner says or place him in a territory by himself? If he refuses to go he cant be compelled to. He is an Ameri- can citizen and you cant force him to leave his country. The negro says that his ancestors fought for this country And so they did. Their blood Is left on Bunker Hill, and it is but lately that they fought at El Clancy. With such claims as these he certainly cant be shipped from the country; it is alto- gether impossible. The only thing left then is to educate him. We must teach him all the trades, find him employment and bring him into business. His re- ligious training must go hand in hand with his business training. He must be educated in the knowledge necessary for the business man and fitted for his encounter with business life. We cant leave them to themselves. They have centuries of savagery behind them, yet they have made progress. Let the edu- cational work proceed and it will not be many years before the negro problem will be solved.

KHAKTS THEOLOGY

Most people know by this time that khaki is the name of the material our soldiers are now wearing in the field, and that its color is such as affords the least possible show to sharpshooters The color, which some call drab, some buff, others light brown, is fairly well indicated in the Hindu root from which the word is derived, khak, dust. Khaki is dust colored or clay colored. It was originally used for the uniforms of East Indian regiments. MT. Rudyard Kip ling's spelling, 'kharki," has no ety. mological justification; the intrusion of the ''r' is phonetic device, in the in- terest of the cockney, to insure the bro terest of the cockney, to insure the broad sound given to the vowel. Scots- men and North Countrymen should ig- nore MT. Kiplings spelling of the word. The London Chronicle.

HANNA A FUNGUS.

It seems that in the present day Arabs who are obliged to traverse the sandy wastes of Arabia depend to a large extent upon "angels food" both for themselves and for their cames The mama is in reality fungus which is found in great quantities on the sand after rain. Of a gray color and of the size of a pea, it has a pleasant, sweet taste, and although it's analysis shows that it is by no means a perfect food, it is sufficiently rich in nitrogenous mat ter and carbohydrates to sustain life for a long period. d.-Chambers' Journal.

JUDGE HARLAN A GOLF PLAYER.
Arises Early in the Morning That He
 May Enjoy His Favorite Sport.

| AIlSeS EdTly III lHe NOTHlnR IndL l1e
 May Enjoy His Favorite Sport.
 Justice Harlan of the supreme court of the United States is an ardent golf player, says Washington correspond ent in the Baltimore American. The duties of MT. Harlan at the supreme court take up all his time after about 10 o'clock in the morning, and, accord- ingly, he must take such time as he spends at the links from the early hours of the day He is a member of the Chevy Chase Club, whose grounds are about seven miles outside of the city. Md. Harlan gets up about o'clock in the morning and starts for the links. None of his family rises at such an hour so the justice prepares a bite of breakfast for himself before he starts
 When he comes down stairs in the morning he finds his breakfast in it's raw material stage, so to say, but he is an adept with the oil stove, and in a few moments he is enjoying his cup of coffee and his broiled chop. Then he hurries out to the links and disports there until about 10 o'clock. MT. Harlan plays with great vigor. His golf make up is something wonderful to contem- plate in it's chaste severity and adapta- bility.
 Sometimes MT. Harlan overstays his time at the links. Then his man drives out to the club for him and takes him straight to the supreme court chambers, the justice meanwhile reading his morn ing mail as he drives into town. On one or two occasions MT. Harlan has arrived at the Capitol so late that he has barely had time to rush into the robing room, throw his black silk gown over his golf suit in time to join the stately procession of the justices as they cross the main corridor of the Capitol and file with solemn dignity into the courtroom.

THE LATE HON. F. K. FOSTER OF
 EIORIDA.

In our Saturdays issue we published the notice of the death of Hon. Eleazar K. Eos ter of Gainesville, Fla, who died in this city on Friday, December s; MT Foster was a brother of pr. John r. C.. Foster of this city and a son of the late Hon. E. K. Foster, who was for many years one or our most prominent and distinguished citizens: He was born in New Haven in 1S41 and graduated ut Yale college in the class of 1863. In 1865 he went to Florida to accom- pany his mother, who was in delicate health and decided to make the state his perma- nent residence. He commenced the practice of law in Sanford in 1868, and was soon rec ognzed as one of the lending. lawyers of the state, eminent for his learning and abil- tiles and highly esteemed TOT the proDlty, gentleness and generosity of his character For many years he was one of the judges of the circuit court of Florida, but resigned that office to accept the position of counsel for the Plant Railroad system in the Flori- time of his death.
 Among the numerous places of trust and responsibility worthily filled by Judge Eos, public instruction and in that capacity he developed the normal school system of Flor ida, and also the system of colored educa' tion, which prevails in that state. He was largely instrumental in establishing the Florida Agricultural College at Lake City, which is one of the largest and most important educational institutions in the southern states, and was president of it's bouiu VI lluSteeS dL tlc liIlt VI niS utulii. He was also a trustee of the ''Univcrsity of the South," which Is located at Suwanee, Tenn.
 An accident which befel Judge Foster when youth developed q painful disease which made him n lifelong invalid and caused him great and almost continuous suf- fering. His struggle against this affiiction was heroic and pathetic, and notwithstand- ing the best medical care 1t was necessary for him to come north several times for special treatment. Ill the end an operation became unavoidable as the only chance of prolonging his life and it was performed at the New Haven hospital on Sunday last. The patients strength, however, proved in- sufficient to enable him to rally from it's effects, and he passed away on the follow Ing Friday. His funeral will be held this Monday afternoon at o'clock from the house of Dr. John P. c. Foster, 1O7 College street.
 Judge Foster married Miss Mary G. Bene- dict of Philadelphia who survives him with their three children, Il son and two daugh ters The family residence is in Gaines removed from Sanford in 1895.
