Fon dness for Money.

Americans are accused of an un- due fondness for money" said one of them who had just returned from Europe, 'and if that charge is true they certainly deserve great deal of credit for talking about the subject less than the people of any other na- tion. In my travels abroad l came into contact with many nationalities and of all these none discussed the question of money so little as the Americans. I found that French and Germans would ask me the price ofvari- ous articles with the greatest frank ness and evidently it did not strike them as at all peculiar that men were not in the habit of being asked how much they had paid for their hats and coats.-N.

SOLDIER'S QUEEN.

Miss Josephine Sabel, the vivacious young woman who first made famous "A Hot Time in the Old Town.' will appear at Polls on Tuesday evening as the star of ''The Soldiers Queen," a musical comedy written specially for her by N.- B. Cantor. It is a DOT trayal of life in a military post in New York state. and while comedy is natur- ally the dominant element. there are several charming love scenes. Musi- cal numbers are baundant and Miss Sabel will be heard in her great sue cess of years ago, "A Hot Time in the Old Town" A novelty in connection with the performance will be the ap- pearance of Schilzonyi's Hungarian boys military band. many of the mid gets in the famous organization being no larger than the instruments they play. They are, dressed in the Hun garian Hussar uniform and present rather the aspect of Christmas toys than real. live musicians. From Miss Sabefs reputation as a comedienne and the novelties offered we should say that ''The Soldiers Queen should prove a capital performance. Sale of seats Monday.

To Contributors and Correspondents.

The demand for space In The Col
ored American at this time is very
great, and 1t is not always convenient
to print everything that Is sent. The
Colored American is a national and
not local newspaper and it endeavors
to cover the whole country and not
any one particular part Of It. Contri'
butors aud cores pondents whose mat-
fer Is sometimes omitted in one issue
NAV look for it II the next, pro-
ylded said matter is acceptable. 1t is
not necessary to write long and abusive
letters to the editor and demand to
know why such and such an article
was not published. In matters OF this
kind, however, the largest complaints
come from those who want the biggest
share OF space but whe, as agents, cell
the fewest number of copies. A little
patience and consideration on the part
of our contributors will save lots OF
worry, and little effort on their part
to get new cash subscribers and SEND
in the cash, will make lots of sunshine

withstsnding the fact that they all
knew they were coming to feast, each
man seemed bowed down beneath some
mighty burden. Amusements were
eschewed, conversation Jagged, and
there was a general feeling that the
entertainment would be insipid and

happily, proved not to be the case.

Prof. Henry Louis Smith of Davidson
College. lectured before the University
las, evening on THE intellectual Value
of Il Scientific Education" Prof. Smith $
lecture was thoroughly scientific, driving
home great truths in the strongest and
most accurate manner.
He began by announcing that his one
aim in this lecture was to refute the
idea that scientific training did not give
one culture. He brought ont four great
principles which science gave to man:
1). Accuracy. Not only accuracy in
sreech ana thought, but habits Of accl-
racy. (2l. Logical habits of thought,
both theoretical and practical: sequence
is not sufficient for science. but 1t en-
deayors to trace the relations of cause
and effect 60 Scientific training gives
one freedom-freedoim from provincial
ism, from bigotry and mental stubborn
ness. from the imposition Of modern
quacks and imposters. from fads ana
Christian science, from the slavery or
superstition l4.) From science one re-
ceived the hishesl. inspiration. With the
scientific mind one is able to conceive
some of the vastness OF time and space

speaker. | have only gathered a thought
here and there. The lecture was thor
oughly enjoyed by a large body OF stu
dents who faced the bad weather to come
ont. 1t was just such a lecture us
thinking men wish to hear.
