Done Of the most talked-about figures
in the south just now is Hon. Allan
D. Gambler. governor Of Georgia. The
governor looks like a clergyman. He
has a mild, benevolent face with an
abundance of snow-white beard, cut
according to the orthodox clerical pat
tern. Recently party OF northern
philanthropists, including Rev. C. H.
Parkhurst and accompanied by Booker
T. Washington, has been touring the
south, to study the educational needs
Of the negro. Gov. Gambler met the par
ty and was prompted to make some
comments on negro education and
northern people which have visited
upon his head the wrath of many
southern and northern friends of the
black man.
UseIess Education.
From the dome of the Capitol at
Atlanta" he says, you can see five
colleges for the higher education Of
the negro, which represents more mon
ey than all the colleges for the educa-
tion of the white boys in the entire
state of Georgia. But the negroes that
are educated here in these colleges at
Atlanta founded and supported by
northern philanthropists will not
work. They first try the professions
and fail. Then they try politics or
preaching or both, hoping to get a gov
ernment appointment and not only be-
come loafers but exert a bad influence
upon their associates and the people
generally Booker Washington and R.
r. Wright teach their students to keep
out Of politics and earn an honest liv-
ing. They teach them the dignity Of
manual labor. All negro colleges sup-
ported by northern money were found
ed with good intentions but mistaken
ideas. Suppose this money were de-
voted to schools like tnat Booker

"The American frontier. in all that

eled all over the west and, incidental
ly, have witnessed a number OF execu-
tions on the border, and I never saw
any demonstrations that were so wild

more interested and amused by from

Out in Cheyenne we celebrate one day
of every year by revival of old sports
and customs. and call 1t Frontier day.
But the simple fact that we set aside
one day in the year and call it what
we do implies that all the rest of the
year we don't have frontier days. On
that one day cow-ponies are ridden by
cowboys. but the cow-ponies are moth
ing but unbroken young stock. and
the cowboys are not near SO realistic
as they are expected to be. There are
races, and pistol-aring with blank
cartridges, and stage-coach robberies.

Il Bound Ono of the Books Of Astro---
omsr FIammarion.
Queer legacies are not uncommon, as
q glance over the records of any pro-
bate court will show; but the bequest
OF Mile. B. to .Ae French astronomer
and novelist. Flammarion, is probably
without parallel.
Mile. b. was the possessor Of q won
derful complexion and a neck and
shoulders which made her conspicuous
at any function where decollste was re-
quired. Though not a member of the
smart set. she moved in good society,
and 1t was at dinner party tnat Flam-
marion met her. and with the pro-
verbal gallantry OF his race warmly
complimented her on her fair complex
ion. laying special stress on the, beauty
Of her neck and shoulders. The girl
was much gratified by his admiration,
and the incident closed for the time
being.
Some months later the author re-
ceived q black-bordered envelope. 1t
contained an announcement OF the
death of Mile. B., and added that 1t
was the young woman's wish that tho
skin OF her neck and shoulders be pre-
served and sent to the author to lie
used by him as binding for one OF
his works. Such Is the story as 1t has
been told on this side of the water.
Prof. Barnard. the head Of the astron-
omy department Of the University OF
Chicago. determined while on a recent
visit to Paris to sound Flammarion as
to the truth OF the story. Flammarion
listened in silence while the interpreter
went over the details. then with quick
