DIR. BUFFALOE TURNED OUT
The Tabernacle Passes on His Case In
a Secret Meeting.

DIR. A. J. Buffaloe, the defendant in
the recent Buffaloe divorce suit, was
last night turned OUT of the Taber-
nacle Baptist church.
A special church meeting had been
called for this purpose and DIR. Buffaloe
had been requested to be present and
answer the charges against him. He
was not present, but a letter from him
was read, stating that he had appealed
his case to the Supreme court, and pend
ing the final hearing of the case he
thought his church ought to take. no
action.
Some of the members of the church
were of like opinion, but the preponder-
ance of sentiment was on the other side
and after short discussion of the case,
the church withdrew fellowship from
him.
The church meeting was secret, all
outsiders being excluded. But if re-
ports are true one Of the deacons who
opposed the action taken made quite a
spicy speech, saying he did not like the
policy of kicking a man further when
he started down. He thought it the
object of the church to help him back
up. And as far as DIR. Buffaloe was
concerned, there were some other mem
beers in the church whose records were
not all they ought to be; for instance
there were some who owed debts in
stores and elsewhere that they would
not pay.
The church meeting was very slimly
attended.

WOULD ExpiEL FlRIARs.

A petition to President Mckinley That
the firial-s and the archbishop be ex-
pelled frcm the collntry is now in cir
culation among the proninent Filipino
residents of the city.
The instrument is short and directly
to the point. 1t is said that with this
petition will be sent a statement of the
objections which the petitioners have
against the friars remaining ON the
island.
They claim that heretofore they have
been a menace to the prosperity of the
people: that their example has had a
very bad moral effect; that they are at
the present time aiding and abbetting
the instruction against the Americans.
THE petitioners claim that there are Il
DOT of Filipinos who are now in rebel
lion because they believe that if the
Americans succeeded the Spanish, that
the friars would still have their former
power of ascendancy. Ii those people
knew that the government of the Uni
ted States would expel the friars they
would no longer prove insurrectos. They
claim again that there is another faction
in this rebellion that are in favor of the
friars, and who are egged on by them to
continue the rebellion SO that the frlslI's
would gain their ends.
Those are few of the charges whicl
the Filipinos have against the frlars
They appear to know what they arc
talking about, and they seem to feel very
brtter against the order.

GINGHrEs CHINO LIARS.

Judge LaNTton is striking terror INTO
the hearts of liars. A chino does not
know how to.tell the truth, and a native
is not much better. Whenever the judge
catches one of them misrepresentmg
facts. he endeavors to show HIM the En-
ror of his way by giving hTm the llmt OF
the law.
Now Geko, An Sweko and Shaw Wake
were convicted of the grave offense Oh
trying to lribe two custom house guards.
In telling their story to the judge. they
lied. For this reason Geko got the LIMIT
of the law, $50 and 60 days in BilIbid.
The other two received a fine of SO
each and We're sentenced to 10 days AT

''Ilt is the rainy season here. In fact
it has been raining every day since we
have been here Sometimes it rains
so hard that the water comes up IN the
streets two or three feet high. The
weather is getting warmer now Q09 in
the SUM, but we have got used to it
and don't mind the heat. We are
oamped near the river where we can
go in bathing every day.
I'VE are hoping to be back home with

THE people here dress with black
cloth around the body. 1t is thin,
cheap cheese cloth. These are what are
called negroes. The better class of peo-
pie in Manila wear a thin, white duck
The negroes do not bother us any now.
They are 'cowed' and have lost hope.
I'VE are expecting big fight the last
of the month, or as soon as the rainy
season is over.
The boys get good food. We get
beef, mutton, potatoes, butter, milk, gu
gar, coffee, tea, flour, onions, ham, ba-

Separate Schools in New York.

In a case sent up from Jamaica
New York, Justice Smith, of the
state supreme court. rendered re-
Gently an important opinion. The
gist Of the decision is that colored
pupils may be excluded from
schools where white children at
tend Mrs Cisco, a veal h. eoiored
woman, who has been attempting
for several months to compel the
board of education of Queens
borough to admit her children into
a school at Jamaica, brought a suit
for peremptory writ of mandamus
to compel the school authorities OF
Queens to admit her son, Jacob,
into the school attended by white
children. Mrs. Cisco admitted that
Jamaica had a school exclusively
for colored children, but maintain
ed that She had a right to send her
son to any school in the borough
she chose. The case was stub
bornly contested and her motion
was denied without custa. Justice
Smith rendered an exhaustive
opinion, saying in part:
"The court Of appeals decided
that under the provisions OF the
common school act of 1864,
authorizing the establishment of
separate schools for the education
of the colored race, the authorities
have power, when in their opinion
the interests of edu~ alton will be
promoted the-~' !, to establish
schoCls AZ the exclusive use of
colored children, and when such
are established and provided with
equal facilities, to exclude colored
children from schools provided
for white children. There is no
Lain that the statute was ever re-
pealed. The claim that that the
statute was repealed by implica-
ton cannot be seriously entertain
ed"
Whenever they push their way
into northern communities in
sufficient numbers to become q
factor in the population, negroes
always find themselves confronted
on social lines by the same race
feeling that exists in the south.
In states where they are so few as
to attract little attention they
may be granted unusual privileges,
but as soon as they grow in num-
bers sufficiently to be factor in
the community they fndlaws
making provision for the separa-
ton of the races in schools and
other public places. Under like
conditions race sentiment is alike
in any latitude.-Augusta Cronicle.
