then being rudely ordered out again

for fully two blocks TO dark and dingy

Negroes took their medicine with a
single gulp and grin, and took their
seats wherever ordered. The thing
worked so smoothly and prOfitably to
the management that no surprise need
be felt If ali the other theaters spring
the same dose upon them. They have
fully earned ii and deserve it by their
conduct in permitting themselves to
be prescribed for the sake of few hours

Some of our statesmen urged as an
excuse for accepting indignities at the
hands of Manager Chase, that they
could not afford to resent the insult
for fear of the consequences at their
Southern homes. The thought never
occurred to them that they could at
least remain away, and not be party
to their own disgrace. But no, they
must see Williams and Walker. Their
joy, comfort and happiness depended
upon it, and they must go at any
cost of money or self respect, even If
they have to 60 on the roof and look
down the chimney. And now Mana.
er Chase is boasting that last week was
the greatest financial success OF the
season, and the insulted Negroes made
it so. He says that this is Southern
city and it Will remain so. and South
ern methods must prevail here. II the
ninety thousand Negroes here, allow
it, they deserve to be slaves. Patron
ize ~ ,--ts. ions. Build you
own thsaters az you do your churches,
and you will find talent enough to
put into them. The time is at hand
when we should think seriously of
this matter. Are we forever to be de-
pendent upon the whites for theaters,
hotels, cafes, aud stores of all descrip-
tiOns? Can we ever escape thsse in
dignities so long as we continue to
flood their pockets with our money
and look up to them beseechingly for
our every want? 1 think not.

A Model" Institution

The Model Steam laundry, in its new
quarters on Gremps street, is model in
stitution indeed, modelled on plans that
give satisfaction to the patrons-and are
not wholly unsatisfactory to the proprie-
tor, Mr.. l.. r. Prescott.
The building has been changed to suit
the needs of the business, and is as clean
and neat as wax, light and roomy. The
machinery and fixtures are up-tO-date in
every respect-even to the gentlemanly
foreman. Mr.. Frank Young. 1t is inter
esting enough to well repay anyone for a
visit.
Water? Why, the best in the world.
If you take a drink from the well, you
are apt to DECLARE as did a gentleman
recently, that the water comes from a
cistern but it doesn't. 1t is soft, clean
and pure, and no ingredients but soap
and water are used in washing and
your clothes will last longer if washed
here than if by the old fashioned method
in your own kitchen.
AS the reporter saw his face reflected
in a shiny collar, it was remarked that
while he saw his face. he never saw a
saw-edge on a collar done up at the
Model
But the scribe yelled at him to saw
off-and made his escape. But he sent
his laundry back just as you will if you
try it once.
Mr.. Prescott is building up nice bus
mess in neighboring towns as well as at
home, and the Northerner is glad to
commend him as pleasant and honor
able gentleman with whom to do bust
ness, and his work as the finest, to any
one who does not know by experience.

Died, March 18th, 1899, Elizabeth S.
Wilson, widow of Marmaduke b. Wilson,
and mother of Mrs. Emmie M. Darling OF
this place and John S. Wilson of Chicago.
Since Christmas, it has been evident that
her days were numbered, but for her
there was no terror i'm death. She looked
forward with joyful anticipation to the
crossing of the river and the meeting of
the loved ones on the other side.
Only one tie bound her to this world
and that was her daughter, who had done
we'll daughters part in securing every
comfort possible for the mother in her
declining years, and for whom the mother
ever showed the most tender solicitude.
Her last days were full of trust and faith,
and the peace that the world cannot give.
To her daughter she often said: There
is no need of grieving; all is well" And
the face even in death, was calm and
Serene and peaceful.
Life's evening found her with the
christians mantle
Wrapped round her, waiting for the
last good night
And in her aged hands the volume,
breathing
Gods benediction as she passed
from sight.
The funeral services, including the
decorations, were in keeping with her
life, simple, quiet and transformations.
Beautiful callas lay on the casket, while
the form within was shrouded in white,
with white flowers on her breast. The
scripture lesson was read by request
from the worn bible so often turned by
her hands, and her voice seemed to echo
the Savior's words-"Let not your heart
be troubled"
The services were conducted by Rev.
Mrs. Barton and Rev. III. w. Harvey.
