The Negro South.

Register j. W. Lyons in a speech
to the graduates of a Southern
College gave some good advice
to the Southern cOlored people.
In the first place the negro
South must learn how TO do for
himself AMI be able to do as
much as the white man. He must
make himself an important factor
in every branch of industry. He
must be able to make the white
man seek him. When that is done
then the solution of the negro
problem south shall have been
solved and not until then. When
any race of people grow strong and
can equal all competitors. recog-
milton Of that race must necessarily
follow.

girl was growing up with the pigs and
ducks and chickens. Then an uncle
died in Colorado, leaving her $4,000.
She went TO town, lived in the Palace
hotel, and there one day she met VIII
liam Warburton, soldier of fortune.
He was proprietor of Cypress villa, a
resort near San Rafael, and when Mag
gle drove out there with a spirited
team he rode with her. They dined,
and sang, and drove until gossip had
them engaged even before the word
was spoken.
And while this love ripened, War
burton found acquaintance with the
ReiIlys. In this excellent family was
a ne'er-do-weel, and WarburtOn took"
TO him. 1t was WarburtOn's $50 gold
piece that paid the premium on a
$1,000 life insurance policy which had
been on the verge of lapsing. Inmany
ways he had befriended the boy, Matt,
when one day a pistol shot sounded
in Warburton's place, and when the
crowd closed in Matt Reilly lay on the
floor. dead.
That is all. Only that Warburton is
in jail and Maggie Moran is spending
money upon him for his comfort and
for his release.

of the man who had ordered il. He
committed it TO memory and in due
time delivered his little oratiOn at a
downtown club dinner, with credit
to himself and honor TO the organiza-
ton he represented. The enthusiasm
of his delivery was exceeded only by
original Outbursts of patriotism"
and when he announced that what
ever may be the result of the nego-
tiations, whether the dispute end in
war or peace, every loyal American
will rally round the flag and shout,
with me: Our country, God bless
it, " he assumed a pose which none Of
his fellow toasters will ever forget.
At the time of the Goethe revival,
which turned the heads of so many
otherwise sensible women a few
years ago, and which. by the way,
was far more dangerous than the
later Browning and Ibsen cults. a
prominent club woman surprised her
sisters with an essay whose pro-
fundity staggered even the profess
sIonal critics who heard her read il.
Before the close of the meeting the
president of the club invited mem
bers and visitors to discuss the paper.
A curly-headed professor from some
college or other asked the heroine of
the evening for an explanation of a
certain mysterious passage in her
paper. She was, of course, unable to
give it; but instead of breaking down.
as a man would have done under the
circumstances. she began TO gesticu-
late wildly and exclaimed. in a voice
trembling with excitement: The
passage is plain; so plain that no.
body but an ignoramus would ask
10 have it explained; that's all I
have 10 say" The curly-headed in
quirer was completely squelched and
the intellectual standard of Madame,
with the masses, established for all
time to come.
Her paper had been written by an
old German scholar and translated
by a teacher in one of the Chicago
schools. Seven people in the audi

SectiOnalism.

When cOlored men come to the
conclusion that they must estab-
ish sectionalism among themselves
The BEE is of the opinion that the
white mans attempt to elevate the
negro will be all in vain. The
BEE as well as the American people
must commend the President in
his efforts to blot out the cancer
which has been so dangerous in the
body of American politics. We may
not realize the force of the Presi-
dent'syisit South he may be criti-
cised, but as certain as there is
sun, the South will be benefited by
the President S visit and a sentiment
has been created among the people
that will separate the good from
the bad. Then the colored man
will be benefited. Tillmanism will
be blotted out. The prejudice
which now exists in the Sou.h will
forever be OBJ liberated.

SANITARY Wall Paper.

The unglazed surface of the wall
papers of our forefathers offered a
happy hunting ground for microbes.
The glazed washable papers now
more general. in use are a great i'm
proyement, as well as the various
plain and figured paintable surfaces.
Upon the whole, the smooth-painted
wall is most in touch with modern
sanitary principles. Certainly, in the
case of rooms inhabited by consump-
tive patients, the use of ordinary wall
papers should be prohibited by en-
Ightened local authorities if they

legion.
TO such an extent has this sham
been carried that in every large city
bureaus have been established for the
production TO order of speeches, SER
mons, lectures, papers and responses
to toasts. Several years ago a Chi
cago newspaper man. tired of the
grind of journalistic life, opened an
office in one of the downtown sky
scrapers and boldly advertised him
self as a manufacturer of all kinds
of intellectual merchandise. The
scheme was a success from the start,
and although several other establish
ments of a like nature have since
been opened he is still doing a -four
ishing and profitable business.

best classes of society" a few sea-

subject of the Nicaragua ship canal.
His remarks were praised for their
logic and elOquence and were quoted
by the press of America and Great
Britain as an epitome of national
sentiment. The speech was indeed
one Of the finest things ever pro-
duced on the subject, but it did not
emanate from the brain of the man
who recited il. II was written by
al old Chicago newspaper man, now
a resident of New York, who received
for it an hOnOrarium of SIS. The
writer can vouch for the truth of this
story, as he was given an opportuni-
ty 10 read the speech several days
before it was delivered into the hands
of the purchaser. He was also pres
ent at the banquet, at the close of
which it was recited, and he could
not help but admire the nerve and
self-possession of the declaimer, who
received the congratulations of his
friends with a dignity worthy of real
merit.
Shortly afterward the chronicler of
these historical episodes was invited
by the manager of one of the local
brain bureaus to prepare a 20-min-
ute paper on a subject involving the
relations of the United States with
one of the European governments.

A noiseless alarm clock would

awakened and arranging the switch
so that the current to light the lamp
would be turned on by the clock at
the desired time. II is claimed that
the fash of light would invariably
arouse the sleeper.
