Terence V. P0wderIy.

T.. Powderly, commissioner-genera
Of immigration is said to be a great
friend to colored people. When presi-
dent of the K. of L.. organization, he
did all In his power to break the color
preiudics which exists in that body. He
nearly succeeded; for while he was pres
ident, colored mt hanics in many quar-
ters had equal show with the whites.
His decided stand for colored mems
rights In that organiz alton made for
him many enemies and is said to have
cansed him to loose the presidency of
that organIz alton. Mr. Sovereign, who
succeeded MIR. PowderIy, does not seem
to have any uncomfortable desire TO ad-
vance ths black man'ssinterests indus
trialIy. TAs colorsd man should strive
10 keep his friends In power.

The peacock's feather has become a

Its introduction has brought about
a revival of trade in the commodity
which has Allied Mincing Lane with

For purposes Of jubilation the eye
feather of the peacock has been re-

was in a comatose condition. Huge
stocks were on hand, and the promise
Of a clearance seemed distantly re-

Then some brilliant opportunist saw
In the feather the very article for

youth, instantly jumped into popular

TOMATOES GROW ON GRAVE.
TA.s nsAA cAns wss FsHa OF TAsu.
eAd They Mystsrisusiy
Appear.

Tomato plants that grew mysteri-
ously on . grave in Holy Cross Gem
etery at Boston. Mass, have been
stolen and a reward has been offered
for the apprehension OF the thief by
Rev. d. NJ Savage. father of the child
buried there. Mr.. Savage's little
daughter. Grace, had been, ever since
she was able to eat, wonderfully fond
of tomatoes. This was looked upon
as a result of prenatal influences,
which were also responsible for a
birthmark. the exact shape Of to-
mato, on the back of her head.
Her fondness for tomatoes seemed
TO grow with her years. and il seemed
as il she could eat them all day.
About year and a half ago the lit
tie girl died. Early this summer her
father was astounded to see several
tomato plants growing up among the
flowers and plants on her grave. No
one had planted them, SO far as could
be ascertained. and no one could ex.
plain how they came to grow there.
But day or two ago Mr.. Savage
discovered that some one lad evident
ly carried away the tol alto plants
and large share Of the flowers on
the grave.
