Ex-MayOr Strong Dead.

WI. Strong, the last mayor of the old
city OF New York, before the creation of
Greater New York, died suddenly Thurs
day night at his residence there. He had
been i'll for several days but the fact was
kept from his political associates. He
took an active part in the present cam
paign and the strain undermined his
health.

The great European emigration and
western expansion pushed up the per-
centage in the middle OF the century; the
war losses and decline OF birth rate from
separation of families sent it down
sharply in 1860. Since then there has
been steady decline due to the lower rela-
tive PERCENTAGE OF both births and immi-
grants that comes with increasing dens-
ity of population and occupation OF ter
tile lands before invitingly vacant.
People have been very slow to accept
this decline. Every census since the war
has been attacked as inaccurate and in
complete. Now, after a generation of
uniform experience, it ought to be ac-
cepted as a final fixed fact.

American Partner of a King.

The New York Sun says story is
printed which is said to be current in the
best-informed financial circles in London
and Paris to the effect that a business
partnership has been formed between
King Leopold and T. F. Walsh, an
American. King Leopold becomes inter
ested in MIR. Walsh's Colorado mines,
while Mr.. Walsh will take personal direc-
ton OF King Leopold's Congo posses
slons, endeavoring to make the latter
profitable. The story goes that Mr..
Walsh was introduced to the King at
Ostend by Mr.. Naglemacker, President
of the International Sleeping Car Com
pany. The King confessed that he was
making only 8 per cent. on his invest
ments, and that that revenue was un-
certain. Mr.. Walsh replied: Il make
III per cent, and its a certainty" A long
conference in a private car followed, and
later Mr.. Walsh entertained the King in
Paris, where a compact was made be-
tween them.
Mr.. Walsh has sailed for the United
States to begin carrying out his plans.

A DEFENSE FOR OUR WOMEN.
Captain Gilmer Writes From the Philip
pines-False Statements.
From the Philippine Islands. ]

From the Philippine Islands.]
Col. e. E. Cooper, Dear Sir Your
letter and The Americans were received
aud I beg to state that I enjoyed the
contents of each with satisfaction. l
will subscribe for your paper Gust ss
soon as 1 get in town where there is a
money order post office) to be sent to
123 w. McCulloch, st., Greensboro, N.
c., and after Mrs. Gilmer reads it, it
will be sent to me. I have not the
time to write you as want to about
things in general relative to this coun-
try, but shall take time enough to
tell you that certain articles which
have appeared in some of our American
papers written by white 1st lieuten.
ant of our army here contains among
other things some false statements. In
his article he states that the Filipino
women are superior to our American
cologed women, which is false. The
gentleman who wrote it, is either lg-
norant or had desire to dispense with
facts. think the cause for man to
write such false ia due to the follow
ing: In the United States white people
do not socialize with the refined ele
ment of our race generally, therefore
they never see the flower. In this
country (outsids OF Msnlla) there are
no other women here in equal Numbers
for the whites to associate with, i'll the
far places Of pleasure except Filipino
women, who are for behind our Ameri'
can colored girls in civilization as the
United States is behind Great Britain
In age. When say our girls, I mean
the representative ladies of the race
and not the class that is most common
ly known and seen by the passing pub
lie. I have visited some Fiastas here
in company with white officers, and
aside from the waitzing by the native
woman, I have been disgusted with
some of their "customs'' when com
pared with our American colored girls
while On the other hand L could over
hear some white officer say to another
''that's find tor them they beat the
American Negroes" which would
probably prompt them to write the
same rot to American papers. Ii peo'
pie who desire to write would regard
the truth and the existing facts snd not
write what they think on account OF
ignorance, the greatest benefit of such
honesty would 60 to the Negro race,
which suffers at all times in fool arti
cles written by some Americans who
don't know what they are talking
about. So far as the virtue of these
women are concerned, L have no right
to speak for no man can speak truth
fully Of the virtue Of any race. The
virtue OF any race should not be judged
by the putas of that race. In the near
future hope to have time enough to
find you some Oriental keepsakes and
write you detailed account of some
of TIM many things of interest to you
in this country.
