Not Walter B. Hayson.

Mr.. Walter T. Hyson, for many years
q highly respected resident of this city,
was married on Thanksgiving night at
the parsonage of the Metropolitan
church by Rev. j. A. Johnson. On ac-
count of the similarity in names rumor
had it that our esteemed friend and
highly efficient educator, Mr.. Walter
b. Hayson, of the HIGH School, was
going TO take unto himself q wife. Be
cause of Mr.. Hayson's popularity as q
man and teacher, the matter was gen.
orally talked Of Throughout the city.
Sir. HaysOn accepted it as huge joke.
1t is to be regretted that the report as
to Mr. Hayson wss not true. 1t is cer-
tain that a man of Ills splendid intel
lectusl attalnments and great usefulness
in the community would make an ideal
benedict. The Colored American in
duIges the hope that it Will not be long
before il will have the privilege of an
nouncing to the country that MIR. Hay

The Ninth U, s. Cavalry.

Whilst the interesting war nara
tive "UDder Fire" necessarily hovers
around the Tenth q. 5 Cavalry, that
publication Is nevertL eless equally de-
voted to the exploitation of the val
orCus deeds Of the other three cOlored
regiments that added luster to the
record Of American arms in he world
renowned Cuban campaign.
We quote the following account re-
lated by Capt. Geo. W. Prioleau of the
Ninth U. 5. Cavalry:
About q. M, hstless and breath
| less courier rode into SiboDey with the
| Intelligence that Gen. Young had
struck the enemy, wss having hard
/ time Of il anO needed help. Without
waiting for orders, and within ten
minutes Of the time the courier sTriv-
ed, Captain Z ID. Dimmick, Ninth
/ Cavalry with Troops G, Capt. Tay lOr
commanding; ID, Capt. AeBlsin and
| h, First Lieut.. McNsmee, as on his
way to the support Of the troops en-
gagged al Las Guasimas. Their hard
march failed 10 get them there IN time
| in this the first fight OF the war; but
| they tried and their coming was hailed
with Joy by the tired troopers who bad
| driven the SpaniaTds from their chosen
| and strong position"
First Lieut.. W. s. Wood, Sergeant
| Wall and Private Turner were wound
ed almost at the first fire. Captains
Taylor ami McBlalI, in order to get
their men out of this fire, pushed their
troops forward to q road that was In
front of them and got some shelter
from the timber skirung it. After re
maining in this position for some time
until The men got restless under the
heavy fire that they were subjected TO,
Troop T. got out into the open; seeing
which, Captain McBlaIn called to
Captain DimmIck, Troop T. is in the
open and should be supported and
got orders, go IN, which be did with
his troop D. This was the initiation
of the assault on San Juan Hill"
This claim by the authors of "Under
Fire" that the Ninth Cavalry really
initiated the assault on San Juan Hill
is not only supported by the officers of
that regiment who graphically tell the
story of that battle, but Col. Roosevelt
in his Scribner article (AprIll says:
"Out of my sight over the right, Cap
tains McBlain and Taylor, of the
Ninth. made up their minds lndepen-
IDENTIFY to charge just at this time, and
almost at the same moment COloneIs
Carroll and Hamilton Cot the Ninth)
gave the order TO odvanee."

Mr.. Booker I. Washington was given
a reception by the cOlored citizens Of

celved quite an ovation. The church
was not crowded and the program as
originally announced was not carried

guests (white) msterialized or sent let
ters of regret or explanation. Nor did
the chairman, who had 3 weak voice

that the need of the hour is industrial

splendid literary talents and abilities,
ana permitted, with the consent Of the
writer, a wealthy and phllanthrOpic
white lady OF birmingham, Mass, to
quote extracts from several letters ad-
dressed by her 10 Mrs. Jewell, Under
date of August "a, after commenting
upon the brutal and cOwardly murder
of Postmaster Baker and the pitisble
condition ia which the tragedy left his
family, she writes: Gas much as I pity
her, it is the whole system of lawless
cruelty and murder we should attack.
Something IN the very soil and air Of
our land makes the people partake Of
the wild Indian type TO which there Is
constant tendency TO revert. Every
people Is in entire harmony with the
other animal life around it, and while
the alligator type prevails in the South,
the rough barked pine tree, the Pail
metto, the people are ali stamped with
the same rough nature. AS long as
South Carolina adopts the Rattlesnake
partake of its nature; we all go up or
down together; even the grass becomes
finer and more delicate, when the men
and women that raise 1T become finer
and softer in heart; for all the earth is
bound up together and we can no more
injure our feIlowmen, than we can hurt
the members of our body without the
same result of i'll 10 every part of us.
Even our amusements are ferOciOus.
Football and prize fights, so fully re
ported in our pa pers are the delight OF
the ignorant people as we'll as Of the
Universities! Misery is the flower Of
civilization, and the American people
are still savsges in nature, with their
love of finery and display and their
propensity TO torture and murder any
aud all they consider enemies. We
have well chosen our emblem, also
fhe Eagle, red in besk and claw,
powerful Vulture, gIaTing into the dis

ture of the Eagle, strong and powerful

expect anything better of our people for
years to come, but in Gods good time,
little by little, the spirit OF Christianity
will spread, and instead of church re

feat Of the infamous Hardwick bill
shows that the intelligent white men
Of that state are not in favor Of taxa
tiOn without representation, aGd also
that the colored brethren know how to
get together down South, when their
rights ale invaded.
Now if the Negroes Of the entire
country would chip in 30 cents apiece
and raise a big fund to employ the
ablest legal talent IN the United states,
to bring action in the u. S. Supreme
Court against the states of Louisiana,
South Carolina and Mississippi, which
have passed laws similar TO that killed
in the Georgia Legislature the other
day, l have no DOUBT but that the
Supreme Court Will decide against
them.
A similar fund raised by popular sub
scTiption among the colored people of
Washington city 10 secure an array OF
legal talent to fight such fellows as
Chase OF the Grand Ocera to finish,
would make that sort of prescription in
the Capital City mighty unfsshion sDle.
One good case fought from Dan to Beer
sheba would tame the Negro hating
Chase and all others of his kidney who
make their living off the public. This
seems to me to be a matter which con-
Germs every intelligent Negro in Wash
ington. OF course the gentlemen who
have brought suit against Chase are
abundantly able to defray their own ex-
penses, but they ought not be required
TO do so, for this Is case winch ap-
peaIs, or ought to, TO the pride OF every
Negro who is a man. Five hundred or

gro patrons OF his theater decently, or
driven out of tine business. 1fhe is gone
at right, he'll change his tune and his
opinion of the fighting capacity of the

A PLEASANT PROSPECT.
Astronomers Say the Moon IL cetti.s
Ready to Fall Onto tho
Earth.

It is not likely to happen just yet
awhile, but many astronomers are pre-
purel for the fall of the moon at q dis
tant date, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is probable that eventually the
moon will be drawn well within tho
sphere of attraction of the earth. AT
present she is just far enough off to
be kept in tow, SO to speak, and to
whirl round and round us as we'll a.
spin herself.
But when the inevitable time comes.
and she is drawn far into the attraction
radius, she is likely to be pulled right
down and fall onto the earth, for her at
traction is, of course, much weaker than
ours. She is in more danger of this. at
one time than another, and the danger
is increasing. gradually but surely. IT
may be.lo,o ,ooe, or.15,oeo years yet; but
when she does fall there will certain
" be terrific bump, and the whole
system of the earth will be badly jolted.
1t is calculated that, taking the most
dangerous epoch of the year into con-
sfderation and her consequent position,
she is likely to fall on the northeastern
part OF Europe, and will entirely wipe
Russia md Germany from the map.
Tidal waves and all sorts of horrors
will occur, and the fallen moon will
probably break up. The entire climate
OF the world will be altered, and Eng
land Will probably be more or less inn
proved, according to the scientists.

A RUSSIANS VISION.
It Forms a Curious Contrast to tho
CEar's Professtons of
Peare

In curious contrast with the pro-
fessed love of peace of the present car
of Russia comes the publication of
pamphlet, "The War of the Future in
the Year 1s-," the vision of Russian
patriot, which was received with the
greatest interest in Russia proper and
was translated into French and German
Immediately after its appearance in
Russia, says the Boston Herald. The
story describes war of Russia against
Great Britain, Italy, etc, starting from
the supposition that Russia possesses
naval port in the Arctic ocean not far
from the North cape and much
stronger fleet than now
The author is hiding under the pseu-
donym IA Bjelomo' (meaning White
sea), but his disguise is rather thin, for
everybody knows that Admiral Maka-
rolf is behind it. Only last year the czar
authorized the use of 90,000,Oo0 rubles
toward the opening of Jekaterinport,
on the so-called Murmannic coast of
the Arctic, a splendid harbor, which, on
account of the influence of the gulf
stream, Is open the year round, and to-
ward the building of additional men-ofS
war. The minister of the navy recently
went with Admiral Makarotf to visit
TINS new port, and railroads will be built
to connect 1t with Archangel and ST.
Petersburg, the building Of these rail-
roads being now assured beyond a
doubt.
Would this not prove that the car
has but small hopes of the ultimate VIC
tory of his peace projects?
