the Kensington ghost, having before it more

exiled old of gradually waning powers
with no posterity or knsmen near to stay up his

the last enriching the future dividends OF law
yers with a liberality which in life he never
exhibited toward lawyers or anybody else. Such
charitable intentions as he may have had took
root late. and it will not be surprising IL they
come to no satisfactory issue. The courts will
determine in due time what Is to be done with

SEVERAL KINDS OF NEGROES.

The Victoria Guide, published way
down in Texas, by the peppery
"rhede" Baughman, sharpened up his
snicker snee last week and went after
several varieties of Negroes who, ac-
cordiDg to his theory, are drawbacks
to the race.
He paid his respects in vigorous
fashion to ''rich' Negroes who won't
put their money into enterprises for the
benefit of the race; northern Negroes
whose "highest ambition is to wear fine
clothes and to eat with white people at
a first class hotel" Satisfied Ne

A government that fosters caste,
and entorces tyrannical regulations is
not entitled to any sympathy at the
hands of a republic. We are talking
about the Beers. They are in for a

The Colored American is not adver.
tising any particular corporation when
it suggests that every Negro, who has
no fortune save strong arms and a
moderate position. should take out a
policy in some reliable life insurance
company. Life insurance is the poor
mans legacy to his family, It has
kept shelter over the heads of thou =
sands of widows and orphans when the
father has been called hence, leaving
scarcely enough to pay the expenses of
decent funeral. A hint to the wise,

Our contention that the High

There are numerous evidences that
the Hon. Grover Cleveland would not

Probably there isn't another run in

NO PENSIONS FOR Ex SLAVES.

Despite the widespread warnings of
the press, both white and colored,
there are still some people foolish
enough TO pay over their hard cash to
sundry confidence sharks who run up
and down the country pretending that
Congress is about to grant pensions TO
ex-slaves. No such thing will be done
IN this or any other generation and
who ever asserts the contrary is a

OUR INDUSTRIAL CONDITION

Ably Set Forth at Second Baptist Lyceum
by A. F. Hilyer Leading Statistician-
Observations al Conclusions Derlv d
From a Trip Through the Productive
Southland.
Mr.. A. T. Hilyer, who stands In the
foremost rank of Afro American stats
tieis ns was the attraction at the Second
Baptist Lyceum last Sunday afternoon.
The house was filled to OveIfiowiug,
and the brilliant Easter costumes added
radiance to the occasion His subject
was taken from observations in the
South which he visited recently to IN
Quire into the industrial condition of
our people under the direction of the
United States Census Bureau. This in
formation is to be used as part Of the
Negro exhibit at the Paris Exposition
and will be of the greatest benefit to
the race. From Mr.. Hilyer's obser
vations he tinds that the colored people
in the South are engaging In every
form Of industry including mining,
manufacturing, merchandising and In
the more ordinary industries. Interest
ing statistics were presented showing
the material progress made by our peo.
pie, especially in the iron industry. The
number of homes and farms owned by
our people in the South was another
interesting feature of Dir. Hilyer's OBJ
servation. His statistics show that
nearly one half Of the c0lored families
live in their own homes or on farms,
the proportion being ia our favor as
conn pared with whites who own or
mortgage. From number of letters
received from manufacturers. mill
oWners and employers Of coIored help, 1T
was seen that colOred men are just as pro-
1cient as white men when given equal
opportunity He warmly praised the
great work OF development being car.
ried on at Tuskegee, Hampton and
Normal. The average wages paid was
also an interesting feature OF Mr.. Hill
yer's observation, showing that colored
people ia the South, engaged lin skilled
occupations, receive good pay for their
services. The advance of women in
Industrial callings was encouragingly
put, showing their gradual emancipa.
ton from domestic service Mr.. Hilyer
found that doctors, undertakes and
druggists were the most prosperous of
our men in business.
The speaker was warmly applauded
for the splendid service rendered the
race in securing such important data
which can be used to great advantage
10 the race.
The singing by Miss Eva E. Bell was
highly appreciated.

founded rumor has been going the
rounds of the large lumber firms OPP
Grating on the sound, lately, that a
representative of the Russian govern
ment was investigating the cost and
the probabilities of quick delivery of
80, 900, 900 feet of lumber at Vladi-
vostock. The first inquiry was re-
ceived by a large mill in Tacoma g.
few weeks ago, and early in the
month came a telegraphic notification
from San Francisco to another large
mill that the Russians had come to
this section to investigate the facili-
ties of the mills for turning out the
product. 1t is said that all inquiries
have been based on the requirement
of speedy delivery, which will proba-
bly, be taken as having a most import
ant bearing upon the war operations
in the orient.

ant that the grade of lumber asked
for implies that it is to be used for
