COLORED> NEWSPAPERS,
DO the Leading and Representative People
Read Them?

The Dallas Express, one Of our lead
Ing exchanges, handles this timely
topic in it's current issue in regards to
prominent Negroes in Dallas, Texas,
who boast OF not subscribing for col
ored newspapers but who are paying
subs cribers to the white journals which
show to them and to their families all
OF the shortcomings of the race The
article which we reproduce below states
the case truthfully and it applies TO
Washington, D. c., and to other large
centers Of colored population just as
well as it does to Dallas, Texas. 1t may
be added here that in the large number
of cases where first class portraits and
sketches are printed of leading eolored
men IN The Colored American, that
they not only themselves do not sub.
scribe for the paper but advise their
friends not to do so. The Colored
American prints items OF news, etc,
about them more as q matter of news
and because 1t is its DUTY rather than
from any encouragement on their part.
Like the so called leading Negroes OF
Dallas they subscribe for the white
papers which show them up to be mis-
guided leaders, their SONS to be crap
shooters, and their daughters to be only
fit for the menials of white people.
"We have anumber of prominent Ne
gIoes in this city, ana perhaps else
where, who refuse to subscribe for the
Dallas Express or any other Negro
paper. This class Of Negroes are al
ways very loud III their advice for the
re ce to be like ''de white folks" Won.
der if these fellows ever found any
leading white man in Dallas, who re.
fused and refuses to ever subscribe for
any white paper printed IN the city.
What would such white men as Mayor
Cabeil, DR.. Rosser, Prof. Long, Capt.
CASTOR and Hon. Eugene Marshall,
look like, going around Dallas brag'
ging about refusing TO take the Dallas
News or Times Herald? Our sleaQipg"
people should stop and consider. Let
the leaders lead, so that the people can
follow. The Negro newspaper should
receive hesuppolt of leading Negroes
first, and no intelligent Negro home
should be without one. The Celored

A LESSON IN HISTORY.

The execution of the constitution of
the United States was due to James
Madison, to whom was given the title
Of Father of the Constitution"
Connecticut had IN circulation a pri-
vate or unauthorized coinage, issued by
John Higley. of CRANKY, in 1877. This
coinage was made of copper. mined in
the town. and known as the Cranky or
Higley Tokens.
The name Point Comfort, Va was
given to the locality in 1907 by the first
~colonists on their voyage of exploration
up the James river, ~Poynt Comfort on
accounte of the goode channel and safe
anchorage is offered
Massachusetts,. on May 26, 1852. es-
tablished the first mint at Boston, of
which John Full was mint master, at
which were issued coins of the value of
twelve pence. six pence and three
weighing the th~ree-penny troj weight
and lesser peeces pToportionably."
In 1864. in time Of peace, four Eng
lish ships appeared in the harbor of
New Amsterdam and demanded its sur
render. Stout old Peter S~tuyvesant, the
lame governor who had ruled in the
Dutch colonies for many years, resolved
to fight. But the city was weak and
without Notifications, and the people,
seeing the uselessness of c%ontending
against the ships, persuaded Stuyvesant
to surrender. The name New Amster-
dam was Immediately changed to New
York, the whole province having been
granted TO the duke of York. At the
time of the surrender New York city
had but 1.500 people. most of them
speaking the Dutch language.

THE LATE FASHIONS.

There is no perceptible difference in
the shapes of sleeves. They fit the arm
closely from wrists TO shoulders. and
have puffs, %ruffles, caps, epaulettes and
what not, according to fancy.
There are many waists with little
basque skirts These r scalIoped. cut
in battlement points or left open at the
seams and bound. 1t would appear that
every style of finish had been employed
upon these little friIls.
A stylish hat is of dark blue velvet.
The brim is edged with a narrow band
of very, fine Persian lamb. The crown
has a trimming of velvet coiled round
and round until it resembles a huge
nest, from the middle of which rise fan
cy feathers and aigrettes.
The noticeable thing in the largest
stock of newly-imported dress mate
rails is the somberness and subdued eff
fects Of the colors. They are exquisite
ly blended and are in striking contrast
to the somewhat glaring shades with
which we have of late been familiar.
1t is a novel experience of the woman
who does her shopping abroad to find
that she makes nothing whatever by
purchasing her furs on the other side.
All the choicest furs come in deity free,
and so skillful are American workmen
in preparing and dressing them that
many European houses send their furs
to this country to be finished for max
ing up.

A Sacramento man happened to ex-
anime the gizzards of a brace of mallard
ducks which he bought a few days
and found in them gold nuggets to the
value of $50 each. AS the ducks cost
him only 40 rents he cleared $3.50 by the
operation. The general impression is
that the ducks must have picked up the
gold in the far north.

The foundation of the families of
about 400 barons in the British house of
