passed away, it shocked large mum.
Der OF people in this community who
had known him so long, so well and so
favorably. He was indeed q leader in
the Sea Island State. He died in his
fift1eth year and left a widow and ten
children. He was the son in law OF
Gen. Robert Smalls, and for the past
ten or fifteen years he has been asso
ciatsd with the "bero of the Planter"
He began his public career in South
Carolina in the early 70's and was
clerk of the courts in that state for
years. In 1874 he was elected mem
Der or the legislature and Fl led that po.
sition with honor to himself and with
credit to the race. For more than
twenty years he held public office in
South Carolina and as an evidence of
the appreci alton and the high esteem

Advancemen Mt its People Have

One need not go back century, nor
yet half of that distance, to discover in
this "happy land of freedom" millions
of intelligent citizens, including schoi'
ars, divines, statesmen, philosophers
and other leaders of men, who sincere
Iy believed 10 and earnestly spoke and
lesrnedly wrote in support of Thar
"hideOus atrocity" - slavery. Fifty
years ago the fugitive slave law was IN
force, according to the terms Of which
it was crime to give shelter or food
or assistance of any kind to runaway
slave Fifty years ago in all the free
states the United S .ates marsh ais, aid
ed by the United States district attor
neys, were discharging their duty, ful'
filling the obligations OF their official
oath, by hunting, capturing, and re-
turning to their owners such men, Wo
men and children as had escaped from
slavery and taken refuge among the
enemies of that constitutional institu
ton which the World describes as ''the
"hideOus atrocity." Fifty years ago
there were pulpits in New EDgland
from whic no word of condemnation
of slavery or of sympathy with the
slaves was ever heard. Millions OF
Americans now living remember the
rendition of Anthony Burns, the mob ;

Editor Colored American:-I want
to express to you sentiments that
have long been ripe for expression,
regarding the very excellent news
paper you are giving US in The Colored
American, and to commend the high
idealed stanC ard which is disclosed in
its every feature. 1t, Of course, has
already no successful rival in the field
Of Negro journalism, and bids fair,
from present indications, to Increase
the distance of relative merit between
itself and its fellow journalistic crafts.

not to limit your possibilities, watch
with much satisfaction your achieve
ment thus far. LILLIAN THoMAs-Fox.

arranged study for the pastor Like
all churches and race enterprises it had
its beginning IN an humble way and
while the building and grounds are of
great value the membership has so rail-
lied to its pastor that 1t will not be
many years before the church will be
entirely out Of debt. DR.. Johnson, its
pastor, is making herculean efforts to
liquidate the indebtness oftbe church;
and as an example of his success it
need only be stated that from Novem-
Der '9S to November '99 more than
81 600 was paid on the standing debt
of the church. 1t must be borne in
mind that IN addition to this all the
expense of the church including pas
tors salary, etc., have been promptly
paid.
Through his untiriug efforts the
membership OF the church as we'll as

ganized on the military plan into com
panies and tribes, and so thoroughly
are are they organized and so we'll has
the selection of leaders been made in

Too much cannot be said in COM

De Johnson at the Metropolitan Bap

years of mis- life to this work and in the
days of the tribulation OF the church he
sacrificed his home aud property that
his flock might be kept together and
that The temple might be held i'll which

PARROT STOPS A TRIP TO PARIS

Had it not been for a mlschievous
poll parrot-so tbs said--Miss Mary
Strotter would now be on the French
liner La Bretagne, bound for Paris.
Primarily Miss Strotters forgetfulness
was the cause of her tarry in Manhat-
tan, but at the finish the parrot
clinchCd the matter-and Miss Stroller
grieves.
Miss Strotter was prompt in reach
ing the French Line pier. She was
there fully an hour before sailing time.
So also were two trunks, her valise
and her steamer chair. Miss Strotter
had come from the West on Wednes-
day She had stopped at the Green
witch Street Hotel.
1t was not until just thirty minutes
before sailing time that she discovered
the one article indispensable to the
trip was missing-her ticket.
A messenger was passing. Miss
Strotter hailed him and sent him post
haste for the ticket She told him
just where it could be found--on the
top of her dressing table. The hotel
was only three blocks away
When the man did not return at the
end of fifteen minutes Miss Stroller
grew anxious and almost ran back to
her hotel She met the returning mes
senger at the door The ticket could
not be found She dashed by him to her
room and searched every corner Of il
in vain.
Il was ten minutes to sailing time.
She was in despair, She had begun a
fresh search of the room, when she
heard a voice say: You're a fool,
you're a fool"
It was the voice Of a parrot that had
the range Of the house at certain
hours He was perched on a shelf
and under one claw was the missing
ticket. He flew away as she rushed
at him, but she got the ticket and ran
back to the pier.
La Bretagne was just backing into
the stream, and she viii have to take

SUMNER HEALTH PRECAUTIONS.

In a recent lecture before the New
York County Medical Society Dr.
Henry Dwight Chaplin discussed the
peris to which health is subjected in
the summer season, The maladies to
which there is an increased tendency
are chiefly those of the stomach and
bowels, But heat and loss of sleep
which are common in hot weather
leave the system in an exhausted con
dition and render their victims more
susceptible to other troubles also. sun
stroke, too. is one of the ills peculiar
to hot weather.
TO demonstrate the effect OF the
season on the digestive apparatus, DR.
Chaplin furnishes a few figures taken
from the death statistics of New York
city. During the months of June
July, August and September for five
successive years (1S95'99) there were
4.520 deaths from inflammation of the
stomach or bowels among adults,
whereas in November, December, jan
uary and February there were only 974,
or about one-iifth as many. The diff
ference is more striking, though. when
comparison is made in regard to the
deaths OF children under the age of )
from diarrhoea. These. in the four
winter months for five consecutive
years. were only 669. and in the sum
mer reached an aggregate of 9.769. or
nearly Is times as many.
This great increase in fatality and
in the number of cases which did not
terminate in death was partly due to
the Frustrating effects Of summer tom
psratuIes and partly TO the difficulty
In keepiug food untainted. In summer
meat Gsb and milk are liable to spoil

OF THE MOTOR
VEHICLE.

i. has been gradually recognised
that ain enormous de!i exists for a
form of transport intermediate bee
tween horse haulage and railway
which, while Independent Of fixed
routes. should possess greater laI-
tude, and show economy superior 70
that of the horse The traction ca
CINE partially fulllls these conditions.
bgu the one great objection to it's
employment is that it's full economy
can be secured only when, compare
lively speaking, very heavy loads are
dealt with. This objection, however,
does not hold good with the auto
wagon. which provides just that rapid
and cheap form OF Independent direct
transport for which so great a need
exists at the present day. Apart from
the pecuniary saving the benefits
following in the train Of the general
adoption Of motor traction cannot be
oyer-estimated The innolualable
boon Of cleaner streets, in point OF
view of .le public health, should rant
