Booker [. Washington is refused

town on account of his color:
Sergeant Mcpherson, a Spanish
American war veteran, was dis
missed from a jury on which he
had been sworn in Salt Lake CITY
because the other eleven jurymen
refused to sit with him on account
of his color and an Alabama
family has been murdered by the
whites because the man, who hap.
pened to be colored was charged
with committing some minor Of
tense against the law. This seems
to be the age of anti-Negrodom
instead of anti-imperialism.

black men were elected as dele

which is to be held in Philadel-
phia.

One Of the principal things that
will be much discussed, and, per-
haps, acted on in this city within
the present summer will be the
improvements of the various
streets of the city. There is talk
of paving Madison street, Seventh
avenue, Third Avenue and replank-
ing many of the outlying streets,
all OF which will bear heavily on
the tax payers. Just how to do
this at the least expense to the tax
payers and abutting property
owners is the question that will
give the members of the board of
public works no little amount of
worry, but it will have to be done
and done soon at that and the
sooner it is arranged for the better.
