had been fixed for three previoos
dates and postponed. Miss Barton
and Mr.. Britten, after having been
engaged for some time, arranged to
be married in the spring of 1897. A
few days before the date fixed, the
young woman's father died and the
wedding was postponed. When the
customary period of mourning had
expired, the wedding was fixed for
June, 1898. A few days before this
date, Mr.. Britten was Frustrated With
illness and fingered between life and
death for several months. Miss
Barton was devoted in her attention
to him, and Britten believes that it
was her careful nursing that pulled
him through.
The young couple then decided to
get married in the spring of this
year, but when the time arrived Miss
Barton became i'll. On each occasion
the cards that had been sent out
were recalled. When Miss Bar ton
was convalescent the young couple
decided to 60 off and get married

they went to Newark and were mar

NEGROES AND UNIONS,

N LIZ nv LIZ AIN ~ ~ ~ ~ ANoJ
The true reasons why Negroes are
not in labor unions are, first, because
in The North, those in the trades are
too few to amount TO Rn7ghing, and,
besides, they are Disseminated against
By the unions of every kind; and,
second, in the South the whites in
certain branches are too few to sue.
cessfully ostrscise the Negro and the
Negro is too intelligent TO crave ad
mission in an organization that will
at once rob him of his identity.
AS soon rs an organization is effected
none but members can be employed,
and as wages are controlled in the
South, as in the North, or rather
New York, the overflow of white
men will crowd the Negro to the
wall, as they are doing in New York.
In the South an employer can hire
any man competent to do his work.
In case BIS finds he has an incompe.

out asking dozen committees. When
men are wanted in the South all the
person desiring them needs to d. is
to go to the street and hire them as
suits him, and when he no longer
needs them, or for any reason desires
q chapge,he simply makes the change
or notifies the persons that their
services are no longer wanted, and
that ends it. In the North, even if
mans family is in starving con-
dition,: even if he is as good at his
trade as the best, ever if the boss is
in great need of help, yet if that man
is not member of the union he can.
not be employed. Is there another
SO heartless trust on Gods green
earth? The labor nnion as it exists
in its greatest tyranny is the most
cruel organization imaginable.
The Negro of the South has well
weighed the situation and long ago
decided that his best interests are
to keep away from these labor organ.
izationa; to have nothing to do with
strikes or any such methods. Conse.
queutly there is never a disturbance
in the South; there is no conflict
between capital and labor.
The whites and the blacks of the
South are slow to rush into any for
eign movement. The whites know
their interests are in the black help,
which is certainly the equal of the
white help Of the North; therefore,
both are determined to keep the
unions governed by foreign influences
away from their section.
So let no one shed any more croc
odile tears about the Negro of the
South. He is doing quite we'll, thank
you, without the unions, and men of
that section will always reserve the
right to say whom they will hire,and
whom they will work for, and what
they shall do with their money. A
country is dreary place when it is
dictated to by men who are ready
with firebrand.-Joseph Fl. Berry,

DECLARATION OF THE FREE

We've set ourselves the noble task
To find the real.
If all there is naught but dross.
We want TO- know and hear our loss.
We will not willingly be fooled
By fables nursed
Our; hearts by earnest thoughts are
schooled
To bear the worst;
And we can stand erect and dare
AL things, all facts that really are.
We have no God to serve or fear,
No hell to shun.
No devil with malicious leer.
When life is done
An endless sleep may close our eyes,
"A sleep with neither dreams nor signs.
We have no master on the land
No king in air
Without manacle we stand
Without prayer,
Without fear Of coming night,
We seek the truth we love the light.
We do not bow before guess,
vague unkr own;
"A senseless force we do not bless
In solemn tone;
When evil comes we do not curse,
eOr thank because it is no worse,
When cyclones rend-when lighting blights,
It's naught but fate;s
There is no God of wrath who smites
In heartless hate.
Behind the things that iniure man
There is no purpose, thought or plan.
The jeweled cup of love we d1ain,
And friendships wine
Now swiftly flows in every vein
With warmth divine.
AND SO we love and hope and dream
That in deaths sky there is CLEAN.
We walk according to our light,
Pursue the path
That leads to honor's stainless height.
Careless of wrath
Or curse of God or priestly spite,
Longing to know and Go the right,
We love our fellow man. our kind,
Wife, child and friend;
To phantoms we are deaf and blind,
But we extend
The helping hand to the distressed;
BY lifting others we are blessed.
Loves sacred flame within the heart
And friendships glow;
While the miracles of art
Their wealth bestow.
upon the thrilled and JOYOUS brain.
And present raptures Danish pain.
We love no phantoms of the skies,
But living flesh.
With PASSIONS soft and soulful eyes,
Lips warm and fresh,
And cheeks with health's red flag unfurled
The breathing angels of this world.
The hands that help are better far
Than lips that pray;
Love is the ever-gleaming star
That leads the way
That shines not on vague worlds of bliss,
But on paradise in this.
We do not pray, or weep, or wall;
We have no dread,
No fear to pass beyond the veil
That hides the dead
And yet we question, dream ard guess,
But knowledge we do not possess.
We ask, yet nothing seems to know;
We cry in vain.
There is no master of the show"
Who will explain.
Or from the future tear the mask;
And yet we dream, and still we ask.
Is there beyond the silent night
An endless day?
Is death door that leads to light?
We cannot say.
The tongueless secret locked in fate
We do not know. We hope and wait.

MISS LOIS WORKMAN.

Last Saturday evening about p. m,
the soul of Lois Workman passed into
the presence of God. Her face is seen
no more among us; her voice is heard
no more in the class room; we hear her
step no longer in the halls. With
life record Of only sixteen short years,
she is taken from earth, q bud to bios
som in the realm beyond the grave,
which realm is no longer a mystery to
her.
AS friend she was loyal, as stu
dent, not brilliant perhaps, but studi-
Gus and attentive to every duty; as
unseltish; as a consor, faithful, adhering
to the right and often rcproving in
gentle tones those who swcrved from
the path Of duty. We may all emulate
her Christian example. The principles
OF right were carly instillcd into her
life and character, and were manifested
each day as she moved among us.
We deeply regret the death of one
who was SO pure and noble. What q
blessing such a life was to us! And we
arc thankful for the short time that we
have been allowed to live under the
spell of its influence. Why God in His
wisdom has seen fit to cut short q life

His will. Let us pray that He may
