A CARD FROM REV. DIR.
WHARTON.
WEBB CITY, Mo. Nov. %. |

WEBB CRY, Mo-, Nov. 23, 1900.
To the Editor Of the Richmond Dispatch:
The courts have dismissed the
charges against me. l desire to thank
my friends and the public for their
confidence in me, and the suspension
of judgment until the cases were
decided. The prosecution was with
out cause, and the disagreeable things
said by few private individuals for
publication were unfair, and did me
great injustice. 1t is needless now
to mention these by name. l pro-
pose to publish a full rehearsal of
the facts, and will show that parties
behind the scenes have sought to
blackmail and ruin me. The benev-
olent work in my case has been in
jured, and but for the fact that |
have kept constantly at work, the
children at the orphanage would have
suffered untold injury, but God has
overruled all for good. He has de-
livered me, and i have nothing but
praise for Him and friendship for
those who sought my ruin. Though
the very existence of the orphanage
and school was imperiled, God has
enabled me to continue them. / am
happy to say the good work will go
right on. II. M. WHARTON.

MARRIED SAM JONES' WIFE.

The notable Sam Jones, of Geor-
gia, was caught in The BARRIERS chair a
while ago while attending one of the
Chautauqua Assemblies in the North
west. The loquacious barber, never
haying seen the veritable Sam, started
in very cautiously: "Goiug to hear
Sam Jones?"

through the lather.
"Ever hear him before?"
"Oh yes," replied Sam.
81 suppose" resumed the barber,
after a pause, che will get off his old
jokes on the preachers and people in
general"
81 guess so, responded Jones.
"Wonder how much he gets for
one of his lectures?"
"Oh, / suppose as much as you
take in in month";" was the reply.
swell, cir, ] wish / was bright
enough or foolish enough to max e
people laugh by telling stories. Some
people say Sam Jones is fine, and
others say he is a humbug; what do
you think sir?."
"Well, answered Brother Jones,
slowly, "when people go to see a
ghost, they generally see If; when
they go and let that old fool Sam
Jones walk onto their toes and corns,
1t don't hurt Jones at all. Now, /
know him pretty we'll; am South
ener myself; and with all his faults

wife,"
And the tall, lean Southener threw
down his dime, and, with a smile,
withdrew.

the South and Of the country in
general should know that if there
ever was time when such meetings
and resolutions effected anything in
adjusting matters relative to the
colored people it has long since
passed.
For thirty years or more the
negroes of this country have been
lulled and decoyed into a vain delu-
sion; they have been taught to believe
that by legislative enactments and
Congressional interference they could
be lifted into the coveted position of
manhood and intelligent citizenship.
This is a vain delusion, and the
sooner the colored people find it out
the better it will be for them.
That true life and existence which
we coyet, and which all good people
desire that the negro should have
will not and cannot come to him by
any legislative enactment or by any
constitutional amendments.
We would, therefore, say to the
colored people of the country, that
their best interests are not to be
found in the sentiments set forth in
the New York meeting reported
above. We will never live to see the
day when Congress will pass laws for
the enforcement of the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments, neither will there be a force
bill to prevent lynching passed by
Congress.
Our advice to the colored people
of the country is to take no stock in
such delusive sentiments; to do so
would be fatal TO our own best in
terests; our destiny as citizeus of this
great Commonwealth is in our hands:
we may shape it as we will without
any special intervention of Congress.
We have had Congressional enact
ments In our behalf aud they are now
and will ever be dead letters, so far
as any Intervention of Congress is
concerned. This is sufficient to
teach us that our success cannot
come to us through such abnormal
measures. The greatest blow the
negro has ever received, and the one
from whose damaging effects he will
never recover, was given him by Con-
gressional enactmcnts.
1t was the unconditional imposi-
tion of the right of franchise, for
which he was in no way qualified.
No government has ever done a de-
fenseless people a greater injury.
We do not consider that those
States, that have passed amendments
to their Constitutions abridging the
privilege of some of the citizens in
the exercise of the right of franchise,
have done the negro half so great an
evil as was done him by the National
Government when it imposed this
right upon him.
The National Government has no
right to promise the negro goods
which it cannot deliver.

THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT.

A man walked into a country
printing office the other day, and
said to the EDITOR
"Say, if you want something to ill
up your paper with, you might say
In your next issue that have Just
started shop to make and repair
wagons and carriages, and would like
to have everybody to call to see me. y
"All right" replied the editor.
"Do you want an advertisement in
the paper, too?"
"No," said the man; "just an item
in the local column"
ado you want to subscribe for the
paper" asked the editor.
"Well, no." said the man. 81 am
taking two or three city papers, and
some story papers from Chicago; l
haven't got time to read any more.
Maybe I'll take your paper when
some of the others run out"
Gail right" said the editor; and he
smiled to himself.
Next day the editor sent his car
riage around to the new wagon shop.
He wanted two new spokes put in
the wheel, and the dashboard re-
paired. He saw the man and told
him he had little job for him, just
to help fill up his time and keep him
busy.
The man looked it over, and said,
"Well, the spokes will be so cents
each, and the dashboard 81; that
will be Just $2."
"Oh," said the editor, 81 didn't
mean. to pay for it. ! just brought
it around, same as you brought that
item to me yesterday, just to ill up
your time. It's only an item, you
know"
Then the wagon repairer saw the
point, and the editor went back to
his office and deftly pitched the
item into the wastebasket.

"LoNG LIVE DoGGIE..

A writer in the Boston Herald
says: 81 hear of young Boston
couple whose matrimonial infelicities
lately brought them to the verge of
divorce, but when it fairly came to
the question of separation, the
right to a beloved bull terrier inter-
vened, and they concluded that, as
neither would give up the dog, they
would jog along and make the best
of life together. Children rarely
exert as much influence as this pet
terrier, whose attachment to both
husband and wife has proved a
stronger tie than the laws of State
and Charch. Long live doggie!"
We have recently read of another
case in which a pet pug broke up
honeymoon and caused separation.
Strange to say it was because of the
groom's attachment and the brides
dislike to the pug.

WHO, WHEN TO KISS.
No Longer Good Form TO Kiss a Per.
son on the Lips.
(Pli7qdelphia Times

And now even kissing is being
reduced to science! Once upon {
time when people wanted to kiss they
just kissed, and that was all the fuss
there was about it. Now all this is
Fchanged. The woman who wants to
be absolutely correct" in kissing,
as she is in the selection of her. hats
or gowns, stockings or petticoats,
must kiss according to rule.
at is no longer good FORM" we
are assured by one of these new-hedg-
ed authorities on polite OSCILLATION,
"to kiss even your dearest friend on
the lips. That kiss is sacred to low
ers and to husbands and wives. In
polite society the kiss upon each
cheek is now the accepted form of
greeting between friends and rela-
tiyes. When women are about the
same age either one may offer the
caress, but between young and an
older woman the younger must al
ways proffer her lips and the older
will gracefully turn her cheek to re-
ceive the kiss. Then, if the older
woman desires to be exceedingly gra-
cious, she may in turn kiss the young
er, but there is no discourtesy if she
turns the other cheek and becomes
the recipient of the second kiss.
"Under no circumstances must the
younger woman turn her cheek for
the first kiss. This is a pretty little
act of Difference on her part, but to
force her senior to give her the kiss
is distinct rudeness. The well-bred
woman is always cordial but never
ELUSIVE in her caresses. She is also
chary of them. Promiscuous kissing
is in bad TASTE Of course, to kiss
even ones nearest relative in the
street is not permissible. A woman,
who is the possessor of self-respect
and dignity, will take care that her
kisses are not meaningless.
"There are several reasons why
the kiss upon the lips mas be-
come obsolete, the principal one be-
ing that it is unhygenic. Especially
is it bad for children to be kissed
upon the lips by their elders. Moth
ers who study health never kiss their
own children in this way, and are
careful that the nurse does not thus
show her love for her little charge.
Kisses may be pressed upon
child's cheeks, brow, eyes, chin or
neck, but never on the mouth. a
hurried kiss is almost an insult. Some
women put off the goodbye kiss until
the last moment, and then give it in a
peck on the cheek. The proper way
to give kiss is to press your lips
lightly, but firmly, against the cheek,
and let them rest there for an instant.
There must not be anything sugges-
tive of smack"

about Majors Cemert.
The mnltitudes who use this standard article
know thai it is many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims are
made, but great many do not know why. The
simple reason IS that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manufac-
| turers do not use them, because they are too ex-
pensVe and do not allow large profits Mr..
| Major tells us that one of the elements of his
cement COS 1915 pound, and another costs
$2.65 gallon, while large share of the sO-called
| cements and liquid glue upon the market are
| nothing more than siXtef n. cent glue, dissolved
in water or ctric acid, and in some cases, alter
ed slightly in color and order by the addition of
cheap and useless materials. ~
| Majors CT ent retails for fifteen cents and
| twenty five cents a bottle, and when dealer
| tries to sell substitute you can depend upon it
that his only object is TO make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
| any dealer ought 10 make on any cement. And
this Is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of MIR.
