Is there any honesty in Negro
leadership ! Can the negro hope
to succeed while there are so
many representative colOr,d men

to be so much dishonesty among
those who claim to be superior to
the lower element in the Neero

Of suspicion among those of the
opposite racR ! Negro leadership
st this time, is bet-aying those
who lay no claim to the superior
lntellecI ofthe so called representa-

readily seen. The Negro leader is
losing his hold; his influence has
gone and his position in the bod
les polite is nothing more than q
passing show. In every admi istra-
tlon his infner CO is on the down
ward road. He has to depend up
on the more influential white man
to push his claim and that of his

WOMAN'S HOSPITAL.
Manila Institution for Which Great
est Need Existed.
Offers as Good Treatment as Can BE
Obtained Anywhere in the World
and Is Run Entirely by
Women.

The Woman's hospital at Manila,
Philippine islands, is now open and
ready for the reception of patients.
1t is in charge of the superintend-
ent, Miss Mary Macdonald, a grad
uate of Bellevue hospital, New York,
who had a wide experience in mil
itary hospitals during the Spanish
American war, and since has seen
conspicuous service in Manila.
The opening of this new hospital
marks an epoch in the Americanizing
of the city. The necessity of such an
institution in Manila, where those
not entitled to treatment in military
hospitals, especially women, had no
refuge, has been great. In the past
a sick teamster or fever stricken
clerk in the civil government had no
place to 60 for medical treatment
and care. The military hospitals can
accept none but military cases and
those of grave emergency, and when
the small army of government civil

The founding of the hospital was
made possible through the generOs-
ity of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who eX-
pressed her willingness to donate
$1,000 TO the founding of such an in
stitutiOn. \ board of trustees was
Immediately named, consisting of
prominent Manila officials and busi-
ness men, and the work put into i'm

Should the military government de-
eide to vacate the building now in

abode by the new Woman's hospital,
as it would meet every requirement.

Just why there should be so
much jealousy among the north
ern republicans toward their oreth-
rem in the South is not known.
The colsred men South deserve
to be congratulated and com
menSed for their thrift and IN
dustry. There is a great deal OF
trsachery and bad blood On tho part
of some Northern e2lorsd men
against the colored man south, ,
The southern negro is not to blame
for his condition. The man who is
doing the negroes the most harm
i. the man who apologies for the
wrongs committed upon the negro.
1t IS the man who has the
ear of Presidents, that does the
moss harm to his race. When
the negro can ct rid Of the tat
tiers in his race and the infOrmer,
then his condition will be improved.
What is to be expected from the
white man, if these are the men
who give you the stab behind
your back You know nothing
about the stab, or rather the pub
lie knows nothing until the assall-
antis exposed. You were not Civ

self, because you were unaware OF
the man behind your chair or con-
cealsdin the room. There are
hundreds Of just such asBailants
among the negroes. Some white
men, like the master in slave times,
like such men. The noble and
true man: the big man will not
tolerate an informer. In ancient
times such individuals were put to
death. Such people belong to the
class of assassins. Why then
shonld the southern negro be con
demned and opposed ? There is

ern negro than the brave Col. ".

The Southern Politician.

If the many published reports
are true, the Southern politician
is a passing show. Indeed, it looks
as if sll politicians are out Of it so

The operating room is modern in

to superintend those of the Seventh

a year ago she received a call to go
to Manila and has since been pursu-

ThereupOn the strange girl handed
her wheel to an attendant and en-
tered a luxurious closed carriage,
which had coachman and footman
in full livery, and drove off.
The manager of the Velodrome
was questioned, but could give no in
formation as to the identity of the
young woman, as a servant had ar
ranged for the lady's riding daily,
paying handsomely for the priyi-
lege.

or tries in any way to discover who
she is she grows sullen and leaves
abruptly.
Naturally this has caused consider
able gossip among the habitues of
the track, and some have offered to
follow the carriage and find where
the girl lives, but Jimmy" has
threatened to break the head of any,
body who tries to spy on her.
She seems to be about "a years old,
is of medium stature, refined, ath-
letic and of surprising beauty. Ac-
cording to experts she rides the
wheel as no other woman ever did.
From the fact that her maid mad
vertently twice called her ''princess"
and occasionally addresses her in
Russian, the Parisians incline to
think that she may be the natural
daughter of Grand Duke Alexis. one

princess about whom so much was

Jimmy" was compelled to make
an exception IN his disregard OF
femininity two weeks ago, says the
New York Word. While he was
training on the Pare des Princes
tracka beautiful girl suddenly dashed
from the riders quarters, to every
body's surprise, for in the mornings
only racers are admitted.
The girl took a few leisurely turns,
then "tacked on to" Michael's wheel
keeping up a tremendous gait at his
pace easily for two miles.
The boy was unconscious that he
was followed until his trainer, grow
ING impatient, cried:
.'Spurt twice around and drop the
lady, Jimmy
Jimmy turned, saw the girl and
increased his pace, smilingly conf.
dent that she would be unable to fol
low. But he was mistaken. Try as
he might he could not leave the girl
behind.
Finally the trainer, fearing that
Michael would be unfit for his after
noon ride, ordered him TO desist.
