peculiar play. THE Gadny," which is
being presented at the Providence
opera house this week, ana IL is stated
that the author of the book and drama
threatens TO have an injunction served
which viii stop the production of the
play in the form in which il is now he
ing presented.
The trouble appears to have arisen
over the elimination OF certain Zines by
the author. and IL is claimed by Mr.
Robson that these lines were stricxen
out because they would have proved So
offensive TO the threatre- going publlc
that the play would not have been suc-
cessful. However, even N any legal
steps are taken by Mrs. Voynich the
matter VIII probably not be definitely
sebt!ed until the production OF ."rhs

Something of a sensation has been

women TO be careful To secure the cIyli

Mr.. Robson said. i'm relation 10 the

Mr. Dunn, business manager for Mr..

THE LYNCHINGS,

In the Richmond Planet, July 23rd
1898, a bishop is quoted as saying:
Enough colored men have been
lynched to death to reach a mile high,
if laid one upon another-and nearly as
m any women and children 20 make a
similar pile.
These lynchings ale defended by
many persons on the ground of their
necessity of protecting white women
from negro assaults. No doubt, ocCa-
sionaily such crimes of this kind have
been committed by them, but they
have been immensely out numbered
by similar outrages by whites upon
the females of the weaker race.
The coIored people have need to
clear themselves from completely with
such crimes, and also to cultivate
more honesty and truthfuln Ss. Nor
can they expect to be much respected
until they manifest more Self-reSpect
and become less characterized, as a
people, by their everlasting grin and
giggle. Lord Chesterfield said:-"I
never knew a 'Merry-Andrew re-
Spected man" But the colored peo-
pie are too often such fools, and until
as a race, they manage to make them
selves both respected and feared,
they are not likely to get the justice
which is due TO them. ButfoonS will
be deSpiSed.
The Washington bee., 1899-05-13
CONVICT MORTALITY.

Even the aggregate of lynchings IS
very small in comparison with the
enormous mortality of the the convicts
in the camps and chain gangs. Where
as in English convict prisons the death
rate is under I per 1000 per annum, 1t
ranges in these camps from IS to over
200 per 1000 yearly.
