Lindsay's shakesperian Lecture,

The distinguished interpreter of

ing and instructive lecture on

recltals selected from the master
pieces of the immortal Bard of
Avon, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear,
Shylock, Romeo and Juliet, AS You
Like 1t, ETC., making the lecture of
more than ordinary interest IN a
dramatic way. To convince the
people of Montpelier of Mr.. Lind
says superiority in the rendering of
the great poets characters we need
only refer them to the press notices
on his lecture bills which are united
in the opinion that Mr.. Lindsay has
no superior and few equals as an in
terpreter of Shakespeare on the
stage to-day.
Preceding the lecture Mr.. Joseph
Adams will sing The Holy City and
Calvary. This alone will be worth
the small admission which will be
charged to cover expenses, 25c for

Children will include all pupils ire
spective of age. This lecture should
be heard by every school boy and
girl over II years Of age, those

WAR OF THE LEAGUES.

The American leagues policy OF
wrecking a team where there is to be
direct rivalry is being worked TO the
limit in st. Louis, where all conditions
favor the invaders. The cardinals
were dissatisfied with the management
last season. and the owners of the club
are not in a position to follow salaries
skyward to any great extent If their
patronage is to be divided. BY pick
ing off the stars in st. Louis, Phila-
delphia, Boston and Chicago. or com
pelling the National Leaguers to dig
deep into their trousers in order to re-
tain their players, the young league is
following a determined policy which
spells ruin to one league or the other
before long.
st. Louis sources persist in sending
out the information that Outfiedei
Heidrick Is one of the cardinal stars
who will be wearing an American
league uniform next year Heidricb
is on. the American leagues blacklist
along with seven other contract jump
ers, and as he was one of the worst
offenders on the list there is small
chance OF his being signed to an Amer
lean league contract again. Owner
Comiskey of the White Stockings
whom Heidrick double crossed last
winter, has repeatedly said he would
close the gates of his park before he
would permit Heidrick to play there
on any team. and Comiskey has way
of keeping his promises.

DISTRIBUTION OF NEGROES.
In Some Southern states They Are Be
coming Very Numerous.

In Some southern states They Are Be
coming Very Numerous.
The result of the last census shows
that. taking the whole country togeth-
er. the colored population is not in
creasing at a rate greater than the
white, and that the fears formerly ex-
pressed in this regard were quite
groundless. In some states, however,
the colored people are becoming dis
proportionately numerous-in South
Carolina. Louisiana, Mississippi, Geor-
gia and Arkansas, for example.
The census brings out two main
tendencies The first Is the gradual
concentration of the blacks in certain
regions and the second is their con-
centration in cities. City life is very
hazardous for the negro race, as the
colored people live in unsanitary dwell
lings and under poor conditions.
In Chicago. for example more than
$4,000 negroes are huddled together,
and here. as in many other cities of
the North the negroes constitute an
undue proportion OF the criminal
class. The fertility of the blacks is
greater than that of the whites, but
their mortality is much greater also,
so that their increase is considerably
less Taking ten of the largest cities
of the South 1t appears that the NOR
tality of the blacks is 32 per 1000,
and of the whites only 20, and there
are indications that the former NOR
tality is increasing, not diminishing.
Five counties in Virginia now in
habited by $4,000 blacks and $1,000
whites produce today 12,0OOOOO pounds
of tobacco, instead of 32,000.OOO. their
former yield. Four counties of Ken
lucky. inhabited by 81 900 whites and
$500 blacks. have. on the other hand,
increased the yield from 10000 TO TO-
900 900 pounds in the same period. In
the whole of Virginia. where the
blacks constitute 3S per cent of the
population, the tobacco crop has fallen
from 121 100000 to 4S,000,000 pounds
in the last thirty years; in Kentucky,
where the blacks constitute IA per
cent II has risen from lOS.OoOOOO to
22l 100000. Rice culture in South
! Carolina and Georgia is subject
to similar losses owing to the uncer-
tainty of negro labor. The cotton
culture is passing into the hands Of
the whites, before the civil war this
! crop was entirely raised by black la
Dor. while at present 40 per cent is
