A Pennsylvania Crank Insists That Negroes
Have No Soul.
Pittsburg Dispatch to Associated Press.
Negro ministers here have an
nounced that on next Sunday they
will preach on book, copy of which
has just reached here, by the Rev.
Gottlieb C. H. Hasskari, D. d., pastor
of the Second Lutheran church, OF
Cbambersburg, Pa. DR.. Hasskari's
hook processes to prove by scriptural
history that the Negro is not descend
ed from Adam and Eve and is not OF
the progeny of Ham /; but is Darwin's
missing link. He affirms that the Ne
gro's main superiority over the gorilla,
ourang-outang, and baboon is that he
utters sounds that could be initiated
and understood by Adam. Hence con-
versation ensued between them. He
says the Negro in the capacity of a
beast entered Noah's Ark and conse-
quently the Negro being beast and
not being counted with the eight souls
that entered the ark, who were Noah
and his wife, his three sons and their
wives, is without soul. Therefore, it
is idle and wrong to sacrifice either
life or money to convert the Negro
either in Africa or America to Chris
tianity, as only the descendants Of
Adam and Eve, in Gods image. and
likeness, are meant to be beneficiaries
of the gospel.

The Home For Hampton.
The proposed home for Wade Hamp'
TOD will be built. People all over the
state are moving in that direction but
even if the rest of the state did not
feel inclined to take part, Charleston

News and Courier of last Saturday re-
lates the following: "The gentlemen
who have been out on the canvass tell
some very interesting incidents of their
trips. Possibly the most touching ex-
hibition of devotion to General Hamp-
ton was that of a small boy, only
about 10 or 12 years of age, who con-
tributed 7 cents to the fund. The
little fellow evidenced spirit oi
patriotism that should put many OF
his elders to shame. All the little
man had was cents, and he walked
into the Office of The News and Courier
and asked that the amount, all of his
monetary possession, be placed to the
credit of the Hampton fund. When
asked his name the little fellow de-
clined to give it, and so possibly the
largest contribution to the fund, all
things considered, will 60 down to his
tory as "Cash, 7 cents" Nothing
could prove more satisfactory the gen.
eral reputation of Wade Hampton for
greatness than the donation of this
lad. He was himself too young to ap-
preciate fully the service that General
Hampton has rendered the state OF
South Carolina; but from the talk OF
the 6reside the little fellow had learn
ed that the general was someone to be
loved and honored; and when the

EXPANSION, OR
SPREADING OUT. f.: :

|THE kind of expansion most people
l. have been thinking of lately has had
reference to national affairs. In fact,
Uncle Sam, for humanity's sake, put bis
foot upon the Spaniard's neck In Cuba
and demanded satisfaction. Of course all
the Spaniard wanted was just to be let
alone; but he had the Cuban down, at
Uncle Sam demanded that he let the Gu
ban up and get off the island without de-
lay. Well, of course that that was right;
but the fact is that Uncle Sans foot being
rather large, when 1t was put on Cuban
soil tramped upon that same Spaniard In
Porto Rico, and. very naturally, when the
Spaniard left Cuba he must leave Porto
Rico too. Now when Uncle Sam stepped
out with his left foot into the Atlantic, he
could not keep bis balance without step
ping out correspondingly into the Pacific,
and being afraid that Hawaii would not
hold him up, he reached out little furth-
er toward the Eastern World and hap
pened to step upon the Philippines. There
he found that same Spaniard trying to do
these people the same way he had done
in Cuba. So Uncle Sam said to himself,
here's another place for humanitarian.

Well, 1 did not intend to 60 so much
into detail, as this is not the kind OF ex-'
pansion meant to talk about.
The Kind of Expansion

which comes after a particularly

Budyard KiplIng,s Grandsirs..

Mr.. Kipling, says the New York
.sTimes," come of Methodist ancestry, "on
both sides of the house." as they say
Down East, and perhaps elsewhere. His
paternal grandfather was the Rev. Joseph
kipling, a member of a well-to-do farm
ing family in Cumberland. The. other
grandfather was the Rev. George B. Mac
donald, also a Wesleyan clergyman, but
of an altogether different type. 1t is re-
lated of this Macdonald that in the days
when he was eourting the lady whom he
afterward married, the father-in-law-to-
ne-an aged Methodist, with extremely
strict notions in regard to the proprieties
was injudicious enough on one occasion
to enter the parlor without giving any
warning of his approach. The consequence
was that ne found the sweethearts occu-
pying single chair. Deeply shocked by
this spectacle, the old man solemnly said:
-sMr Macdonald, when / was counting
Mrs. Brown she sat on one side of the
room and / on the other side" Macdon-
ala,s reply was:-.That's what l should
have done if / had been counting Mrs
Brown.

A FlIipion Charm.

While examining the body of a dead
Filipino svoldier the other day, Private
Fairchild, of Company /, of the police,
made a curious find. He noted that the
front of the dead soldiers shirt was COW
cred with strange engavings. With his
curiosity aroused, Fairchild cut the 'front.'
out and brought it to headquarters. The
engrayings are of the rudest type and re-
semble the ancient Assyrian figures and
letters The moon in its different quar-
ters figures prominently. Apparently the
long word written at the top is Latin,
the rest of the lettering is strange and
no one can explain it. A Filipino woman
who saw it crossed herself and then look
ed surprised when she saw the bullet
hole and spots of the wearer's blood.
When questioned by the interpreter she
was very reticent, but admitted that
such engravings constituted a sacred
charm. not of Catholic origin, that the
Filipinos believed would protect them
from death in battle, as no bullet could
pass through it. A. shaward. who was
questioned on this subject, answered that
it was the sacred coat of Filipino
secret society, similar to the Masons,
whose antiquity is very great. Manila

Standard Oil Employees Men
Given Ice Water and They
Returned to Work.

A strike was narrowly averted at the
Standard Oil Company's works at Con-
stable Hook, Bayonne, yesterday, by the
prompt action of General Superintend-
ent Alexander. The stillmen and firemen,
who work on twelve-hour shifts, between
narrow rows of tar stills, where the neat
is intense, have been supplied with drinks
ing water from a we'll at some distance
from the stills. The water was carried
by about twenty youths, who were paid
by the company.
Several days ago the Superintendent OF
the refinery Utley Wedge, discharged
the water carriers and told the men they
must drink water from the hydrants. AS
this water stands at a temperature OF
from 50 to 70 degrees in the summer
months, the men made an indignant pro-
test, and, as no attention was PAID 10
it. they threatened to quit work. They
say that superintendent Wedge promised
on several occasions to meet their rep
resentatives but failed to keep the en-
gagement.
About 200 of the men quit work yes
terday afternoon at four o'clock ana
marched to the office where they found
General Superintendent Alexander, to
whom they related their grievances.
They were orderly, although some OF the
comments made on the quality OF the
hydrant water were of terse ana un-
printable nature. Mr.. Alexander agreed
to see what could be done towards sup
plying them with a cooler and more
palatable beverage today.
Superintendent Wedge has been with
the STANDARD Company but few months
His administration has been vigorous, and
he has reduced the force of men at work
besides hustling the men remaining to ex-
ira work He is very unpopular with most
of the employees and there have been NUT
terings of discomfort for some time This
morning the men were supplied with ice
feet deep at the Bergen avenue bridge.
