quently made it unpleasant. Some OF
the ladies carried canes n whips and
they did not hesitate to apply them
vigorously upon the heads OF offending
masculinity.
The girls who are favored by Ma
ture certainly paid the penalty for
beauty. All the world admires a fair
woman, the degree of admiration cor
responding to the degree of fairness.
Some of the boy were disinclined to
waste the five-cents-a-paekage confetti
upon unprepossessing women. The
prettier the girl. the more often she
was a target for the confetti-thrower.

dollars to d%oughnuts that she put a
night of it in. If she was inclined to
be fussy about it. some mischevious
son of Adam would brighten her by
blowing out a 'serpentine." If she were
still untractable, another merciless tor
mentor would flash an electric lapel
light in her face, while his companion
would hold a ~megaphone to her ear and
whisper loud enough to be heard in the
next block:

BY the time this programme was car
ried out, the pert young lady, in nine
cases out of ten, would be tame enough
TO eat out of your hand.
There were more displays of temper
in the early evening than later. The
throwing OF confetti became so general
tnat it was almost unanimous, and
everybody regarded it as the proper
caper. The fair sex realized that it was
folly to try to keep the paper out of
the hair, and confined their defensive
tactics to keeping it out OF the backs

PHINNEY'S U. S. BAND
CONCERT LAST NIGHT
Was Given From, the stand in Front
of StifeI's, and Was Heard by
Vbousauds-To-Day's ~Onccrt

Was Given From the stand in rOht
of stifei's, and Was Heard by
Thousands-TO-Day's Concerts.
The idea OF giving the concerts by
Phinneys United States Band from
the stand at the foot of the wharf has
been abandoned as impracticable, and
hereafter the concerts will be given at
points where the people congregate.
Last nights concert was given from
the enlarged platform extending from
Stifel & Co.'S establishment, over the
sidewalk, on Main street, north of
Twelfth.
1t was a great success. The street in
front of the budding was literally con-
gested throughout the evening. and each
number was followed with enthusiastic
and appreciative applause. The pro-
gramme opened with an overture. Mr.,
Phinney did not render many classical
selections. 1t was not the sort OF
music the audience wanted. Several
popular numbers were rendered, and
they were all received with enthusiast
tic cheers. The band never played to a
more a~ppreciaCIve audience.
Arrangements have been partially
made for concerts to-day by the United
States Band but they are subject tc
/ change. At ten o'clock this mornins
the band viii give a concert from the
stand in front of Stifel's. and probably
another concert at the same place In
the afternoon. The place for the nigh
concert has not yet been announced.

these honorable men are held for i'm

violated provisions of the constitu-
ton by rendering the decision con-
trary to democratic practices.
Though sustained by settled prece-
dents and law, from 1888 down to the
present time, having the approval OF
the Supreme court of that state, yet
the case is now resolved into purely
partisan attack upon the Supreme

poses. Other cases are involved

Hiawatha,s Wedding Feast.

One of the selections to be rem
dered by the Cleveland Vocal society
at their final concert is ''Hiawatha's
Wedding Feast" by Samuel COleridge
Taylor. who is making a reputation
in England not only as a composer,
but also as a musician. Samuel Cole
ridge Taylor was born in London on
August Is, 1875, and is now in his
Goth year. His father was full
blooded African. a native of Sierra
Leone. on the west coast of Africa.
His mother was English, and the son
possesses many peculiar characteris-
tics of both races from which he is
descended. He early showed indica-
tions of musical ability, although
none of his ancestors we musicians.
At the age of years young Taylor
began the study of the violin under
Joseph, an excellent teacher, of
Croydon, Surrey. At the age of 10,
having a pleasing voice, Taylor be-
came one of the choristers of the st.
Georges church, London, and re-
NAMED there until his change of
voice. Since then he has developed
what is known as the male alto voice.
and now sings at the Church of st.
Mary Magdalene, Croydon. He is also
professor of harmony, ETC.. in the
Crystal Palace Conservatory, London.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM
THE MOB.

At Centcrville, Tenn. Il mob of sew
eral hundred men gathered around
the Jail intent on taking a prisoner
from the sheriff to lynch him. But
THE sheriff was fOrewarned and mott
fled q brave old stalwart and friend of
Itrial and danger, but the old hero
felt no fear of the men who were to
engage in the work of mob violence.
He knew the class of men who lived
Afro-Americans who never falter in
time of duty. \ general notice was
sent out among them that the Jail
was to be stormed and the prisoner
9ynched. His order was that Afro
americans of the town and surround
ing country should report at the Jail
as speedily as possible. Soon the Jail
was packed with over 400 we'll armed
members of the race. Shortly after
ward the mob appeared and demand
ed the keys. The mob was warned
of the consequences. They hesitated
for a few, very few moments. then
quailed and sl>ulked away to their
several homes, not one ever owning
himself member of the gang. The
prisoner was tried according to the
terms of the law and was acquitted
after Il most rigid investigation. But
this was not all. Those who encour-
aged the mob now rejoice that the
matter resulted as it did, for it is
now evident that they were about to
shed innocent blood. But had the
imam been lynched, every effort would
dhave been employed to establish guilt

PARTISAN PERSECUTION.

act of the democratic house of repre-
sentativcs in Mississippi il 1874 when
Gov. Amcs was impeachedtand remov-
ed from office on account of his re-
publicanism. The case OF the present
trial is now pending before the sem
ate of North Carolina and the pro-
iceedings are watched with intense
interest by American readers. That

this republic should lose the indie
pendence that it has won, and the
government ii has maintained for a
period of nearly 100 years, we in the
states add to ourselves another load
to the many we are now bearing of
the failure of the Negro to maintain
a system of government.
The question is, will this class of
emigration be welcomed? | car say
from conversations that | have had
with President Sam, with members of
his cabinet. with the leading men OF
this republic, that they will welcome
such and that every facility will be
given them to acquire homes.
During the period of Geffard's
presidency, from an offer made by
him to induce our people to leave the
states and come here and live, about
$500 emigrants, principally from New
Orleans and the Gulf cities, availed
themselves of this offer, but coming
without money or farming inn
pIements they were of little benefit
to the country in an agricultural
sense.
/ am informed there is room for all
that are willing to cast their destiny
with this people, in a land where
there will be no persecution on ac-
count of ones color. where each will
prosper as the republic increases in
its resources and in wealth, and this
wealth will be controlled by our race.
In like manner as the influence she
will exert in the world at large, so
will that influence rebound to the
credit of those of our race, who may
prefer to remain in the states. Let
it be understood, that those who emf
CRATE have TO be people who are will
ing to work, willing to suffer some
privatiOns. as all do who emigrate to
a new country. Let them bring with
them improved farming utensils and
such labor-saving machines as are or
may be needed in such work. Let
them also have some little money to
sustain them in their new land until
the ground yields to them its fruits,
which it will do in a short time.
What Hayti does not need is that
class which is naturally tired. Hayti
has enough of this class already and
needs no more. Hayti has no state
religion, though the Romish church
predominates, as is generally found
in all French-speaking countries. In
the cities are to be found good
schools supported by the state.
