Our republican friends are very
much worked up, and we must con-
fess justly too, over the new election
law just passed in North Carolina,
whereby negroes are DISTINGUISHED
Some of the states the republicans
are claiming as ''sure thing" have
election laws fully as unjust. Con-
neticut: Citizens of the United States
who can read the English language.
Indiana excludes United States SOL
diers, sailors and marines. Mass
achusetts: Citizens who can read OF
write, New York: Citizens who have
been citizens for ninety days, Oregon:
white male citizens; Vermont prohib-
its those who have not obtained the
appreciation Of the board of :civil au-
thority of the town in which they
reside. Pennsylvania: Citizen of the
United States at least one month, and
if twenty-five years old or more must
have paid tax within two years. Kan
sas has as liberal election laws as any
of the states possibly too liberal.

The Philippines produce sugar,
rice and tobacco. The United States
produce sugar, rice and tobacco. The
labor in sugar fields are protected,
according to republicans, By a tariff
of one cent per pound, the tobacco
raiser by tariff ranging from thlrty-
five cents to $3.50 per pound. and
rice two cents per pound. Now that
we have expanded, how does our re-
publican brother propose to protect
the high priced labor of the United
States from the low priced labor of
our new possessions? In other words,
how can we expand" and at the
same time ''protect?"

It turns out that the company was

left him and he opened his head
to speak. His first words evoked
another cheer. The mayor had
not proceeded far in his speech
making, before he dropped his
rabbits foot, however. He con-
fessed that he was not the mayor
of Baltimore, but just old Pop
Kimberly representing one Of
the finest brands of whiskey in
the world. At this declaration
the cheers increased and he was
greeted with shower of fruit so
torrential that he had to raise his
umbrella and make a hasty re-
treat.
This was my bad night. After
I had made the speech of my life,
ST who was on my immediate
right was called upon for speech
as the representative of Chicago.
Now, called upon to handle so
large a subject, ST concluded,
doubtless, that be had to do it in
large sort of fashion and in
rising he swung his chair around
from him so as to have it entirely
out of his way. The arm of it
cought me in the right eye as l
was picking up my napkin and
that is all I know bout this par
ticular Mardi Gras celebration.
When l woke up next morning /

fellow, How did you get it?"

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
iliZed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF un-
digested food regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and oragnlc
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's August

satisfied there is nothing serious the

Chamberlain Pain Balm would

Came From Kentucky
To See Eclipse.
(By The BY in ID

"The oldest incident in con-
nection with the eclipse that l
have yet heard of occurred right
here in the house." said New
Orleans hotel clerk who had an
eve for the whimsical side of
things. Zone of our guests was
a travelling man from Kentucky,
who had come several hundred
miles out of his route for the par
ticular purpose of seeing the
big show. Sunday evening he
fell in with some friends and,
instead of going to bed early as
he intended, he got to discussing
eclipses and highballs and other
astronomical problems and stayed
up until nearly 4. He was pref
ty tired when he came in and
concluded, very sensibly, that he
had best take a short nap or he
wouldn't be able to tell moon
from a monkey wrench. So he
walked over to the counter, pick
ed up the call sheet, marked the
number of his room in the $50
O'Clock column and went up stairs
without saying word to any body
in the office. This call sheet, as
you know, is for the guidance of
the bellboys and is ruled off into
spaces, with the hours and half
hours printed at the top. Being
a little bewildered, the Kentucky
gentleman didn't notice that he
had put himself down for $50 P.
m. instead of $50 a. m, and con-
sequently he was peacefully snor-
ing in his apartment while every
body else was up on the root
watching the greatest single per-
formance exhibition of the CEN
tury. AS l said before, he came
in pretty tired, and having lost a
good deal of sleep on his trip, he
slumbered right on through the
day without so much as turning
over. AT $50 that evening the
bellboy went up and hammered
at his door. According to his
own story, he awoke with a start,
suddenly realized where he was,
and seeing how dark it had be-
come outside, naturally con-
cluded that the moment of total
ity had arrived. However, it
kept getting darker and, in great
excitement, he jumped up and
began pulling on his clothes. He
had disrobed all over the room
and had to hunt for everything,
and before he was anywhere near

CHAPTER V.

NOW the Dali we WCut W oh
the night of Comus, did not take
up pages in the papers like the
great Comus bail. l couldn't be-
gin to tell you where it took place.
To tell the truth the things that
the great Tujaque had fixed up
for his party of Frenchmen (and
we were Frenchmen all now had
sorter fized us. We got in car
ages and drove and drove. In
our carriage we had two of the
ladies' of the French Opera ballet
to whom we had just been intro
duced and the rest of the party
had also mem bers of the same
brilliant body, so that when our
little procession started from the
Cafe des Artistes, we looked like
a little carnival of ourselves. We
wound up finally at a very old
hall in the French quarter. A
big fat Frenchman in our party
told me in very fat French that
his great-grandfather, who had
been butcher just like him, had
danced there in the time of La
fitte, and Lafitte himself had
danced there. More broils and
duels had started there on Just
such occasions than any one
knew. These were degenerate
days, he mused. No one fought
dueis now. Except when there
is dashing Mississippian and a
mate-fower involved, eh" whis-
pered ST to me.
The ball room was a splendid
sight. Such dancing! AS the
hours deepened some of the
French ballet undertook steps
seldom seen in a ball room, and
the men cheered rousing cheers
and the women folks didn't seem
a bit alarmed.
In the rear of the ball was an
immense court. Mum bers of
tables were spread in it, decorated
with fruit and wine bottles. Par
ties of six, eight, ten, a dozen went
out and were served midnight
suppers.
About midnight, Mr.. John
Brown appeared on the scene
with others of our former party
and a fat, dapper little gentleman
with a very bald head, whom he
introduced as the next mayor Of
Baltimore. Our party finally
went down into the court and
took the biggest table which was
in the center and we placed the
mayor at one end of the table.
do not know how long we we're
in eating this midnight supper.
1t was one of the most magnlfi-
cent examples of cooking l had
ever seen.
BY and by the ladies had all
left and the speech-making time
had arrived. ST called on the
mayor of Baltimore for speech.
He got up amidst great acclaim.
Every one had left with the
exception of the eighteen or
twenty men in our party. There
was a balcony running around
the side of the houses on three
sides of the court and a stair
leading to the gallery of the rear
one. "Here, shouted some one.
''It will not do for the mayor of
Baltimore to address us from
there. He must speak from the
balcony above there. l move
that a committee of two be ap-
pointed to escort him" two
gentlemen Immediately seized
the mayor of Baltimore by the
arm and led him up the rear
stairs, around all the three or
four hundred feet of balcony
until he stood upon the balcony
of the main building, under the
glare of an immense reflector oil
torch. When he faced his au-
