different. As soon as she reached San
Francisco, her entire crew, firemen,
coal passers and sailors were called
out by their unions. Green hands had
to be employed to do the work OF dis
charging and loading. and when time

the greater part of last night with the
result that he confessed his crime and
at an early hour this morning took the
detectives to the spot where he hid tho

Pee7esses Came Near Getting Royal
Command TO Wear Trousers

Considerable quiet amusement has
been caused by paragraph which is go
ing the round OF the society papers in
London with joke at the expense OF
the Lord .Great Chamberlain, who had
charge of printing the invitations for
the opening of Parliament.
1t appears that these invitations to
peers gave directions to appear in court
dress. which. Oi course, everybody knows
means knee breeches, but as the King
wore the Uniform OF field marshal the
peers were enjOined TO wear trousers.
When the printed invitations came from
the court printer it was discovered at the
last moment. just before mailing, that
the Injunction about trousers had been
added bv mistake to the invitation to
peeresses.
4 messenger was dispatched post haste
to the printers to get new cards imIhe-
diately. Fortunately these arrived suf-
ficiently early to reach their destinations
in time before the ceremony, but the Sc
cret leaked out. The Lord Great Cham
berlain was the but of many quiet jokes
in the shape Of queries as to what the
ladies should have done if they had re-
ceived the invitation, which amounted
to a royal command to appear in court
dress trousers. Would they have com
piled or risked the charge of disloyalty
by disregarding the first command OF
the new sovereign?

The Nsgro'a Farewell
(Lynchburg News.)


There is only one representative OF the
negro race in the present Congress. He
il Congressman White from North Caro-
lima At - o'clock on the Ith Of March,
he will go out Of Office, and no man OF
his race will have n seat in the Fifty
seventh Congress. For about thirty
years negroes have held seats in one
or the other. branch of Congress and
sometimes in both, but it will probably
be a long time before another negro will
have name Oh the roll of members Of
the federal Congress. No Northern State
has ever sent a negro representative to
Washington 4 few days ago Repre-
sentative White delivered his valedictory.
We quote the closing words OF his ad-
dress as follows:
This il. perhaps, the negro : temporary
farewell To the American Congress but
let me say, Phoenix like, he will rise up
and come again some day. These part
ing words are in behalf OF an outraged,

loyal people-rising people full OF poten-
tial force.

Representative White may be right in
predicting that the negro will come
again that is he may again appear on
the floor Of Congress as n law-maker.
but the time may be very remote. Ii will
not be till the negroes raise themselves to
a higher position by industry intelligence
and the acquisition OF wealth and in
huence. The best policy for the negroes
generally to pursue at the present time is
to heed the advice OF their wisest leaders,
eschew politics and bend their energies
to improvement in other lines, that IL,
the acquisition of intelligence and prop
erty. and the development OF high moral
character The white people OF the
United Statesa are going to rule this coun-
try and the negro can gain nothing by
assuming position Of antagonism to
the dominant race. His welfare lies in the
cultivation of friendly relations, and in
doing this ne will receive the cordial CO.
operation of his white fellow citizens.
