A Too successful Advertisement.

"Wanted-A young French woman to
give lessons to an American gentleman.
Appiy Hotel =, 10 o'clock Friday.
The foregoing advertisement, printed IN
a Paris paper, almost caused a riot at the
hotel at the hour named. The American
gentleman was G. Webster Jones. of san
Francisco. Mr.. Jones left orders that ne
would receive applicants In a room at the
hotel. and they might be admitted to the
corridor pending his arrival When he
got there he found a line that reached out
into the street and extended all the way
to the Place Vendome. Five hundred
dashing Partisan women were clamoring
for a sight Of the American gentleman
They were unanimously resolved TO Civ
him lessons.
Jones was paralyzed at the sight ana
fled. leaving the hotel people to get out OF
the scrape as best they might. The man
ager and the clerks argued in ain The
women would not be paciied. They clam
ored for a sight of the evasive American
The police were called, the women were
put out, but more women kept coming
all day. The hotel was under police pro-
lection for "a hours. Jones fled to an
other hotel a wiser and perhaps a batter
man. He is now convinced that people
read advertisements. but he has retlred
from the business.-Paris Messenger.

THE NEGRO NORTH AND SOUTH.

the New York sun and the Atlanta
Constitution are engaged in a heated
controversy over the status Of the man
and brother and his political condition
north and south. Our able Southern
contemporary sarcastically alluded the
other day to the solicitude of the New
Yerk bloody-shirt organ in behalf of
the eolored man "at a distance" This
made tie sun mad, and the latter came
back:
Does a Republican form of government
exist where the negro Is disfranchised or
inundated? AS a matter of fact the
negro has no rights in the south which
white mon are bound to respect unless
they elect TO do so, especially white
men IN Democratic conventions assem-
b,ed. So il is the height Of imnudence
for the Constitution to say that the poor
coiored mai o. the north can only look TO
the Democratic party of the union for the
assertion of his natural rights
To this the Constitution makes re-
joinder by citing a few facts showing
that the shoe the Republican organ
would place upon the Southern foot
fits the Republican North much more
neatly:
The wounded negroes. carrying bullets
received from republican craftsmanship
in Virden and Pana. did not find a repub-
lican form Of government in Illinois.
When they returned to Alabama and
, found bread and work, they did find such
a government.
The negroes who were recently held
! back from Melrose by shot guns did not
find "a Republican form of government"
Even the efforts of the governor of the
State TO enlist the preachers of Melrose on
the side Of humanity failed. The order
was: THE negro must CO.
h negroes who have been driven out
Of Indiana towns by vigilance committees
did not n "a republican form Of govern
ment" anti they had crossed the river
into Kentucky.
The negroes who were hanged by the
mob at Washington Courthouse and who
were chased out OF Akron did not find "a
republican form of government" In Ohio.
Now for the other side. Every negro

To learn to swim has been the ambi-

a young summer visitor at Epworth
Park, and many such an aspirant TO
this watery glory goes home with the
desire of his heart gratifed.
Epworth lake may seem small to eyes
accustomed to a larger body OF water,
but it is a fine place in which to learn
to swim. The water in some places Is
said to be twenty feet deep, and at
most places it is a good swimming
depth. Besides, such care is exercised
over the bathers and those learning to
swim, by the men in charge of the
boats and bath houses, that accidents
of a serious nature are almost impossi-
bic.

charged conditions. lie believes the
principal planks of the Democratic plat

First-A declaration for a graduated in

Gecond-An unrelenting opposition to

Third-A declaration against imperialism

EPWORTH PARK.

Last sunday Sessions of the Sea-
sons Meeting Largely Attended
md Much Enjoyed.
BETHESDA, August 12.-The second
and last Sunday Of the Epworth Park
Assembly of 1901 has gone into Park
history, leaving behind it happy m
les for those who visited the grounds
and listened to the S%criptural teachings
of yesterday. The usual good order
prevailed within the enclosure and to
many the Sabbath proved the most en-
joyable day of the seven.
The morning sermon was well at
tended but it was the afternoon and
evening services that the large crowds
of the day were attracted. While no
gate toll is taken on Sunday and it is
the intention that the congregation be
made up of people who belong to this
charge, quite a number Of strangers
were noticed on the grounds, but ali
were orderly and interested in the
days doings and they were welcome.
No had been arranged for the
afternoon. but in order not to disap-
point people who evidently had ex-
pected to hear one, Herr G. Cohen
kindly consented to. talk to them. He
always has something of interest to tell
and does it in an entertaining manner.
At the evening lecture he addressed an
immense audience and to the satlsfac-
ton of those hearing him. Herr Cob
en- is by no means a believer in Dowie-
ism and he fearlessly says so. Spirit
ualism and Christian Science he calls
i%rreligious, and he pleads for a true
Bible following.
The Scotch singers, Gavin Spence and
Fora Macdonald, are to appear this af-
ternoon. They are highly recommend
as entertainers worth seeing and hear
ing. Tonight the Boston Carnival
and Concert Company is scheduled and
no doubt will be enjoyed.
tuesday is Temperance and W. G. T.
U. day, and 1t is then Rev. Anna H.
Shaw is expected.
Wednesday is G. A. R. day and all
the old veterans as well as others who
attend will be greeted by Gen. Foraker,
as well as supplied from morning until
night with a programme which can not
fail to please every body.
DR.. Lon Beauchamp, who comes on
Tuesday, is called THE Laughing
Philosopher" and has travelled all over
the world, and few, if any, have filled
more lecture engagements than he.
Perhaps the largest crowd collecting
at any one time this season was that
which assembled to find entertainment
in Karl Germaine's second appearance
in tricks of magic. During the entire
evening persons who could not find
seats in the auditorium, stood patient
ly in the rear and along the sides and
were repaid by some very clever trick
cry, mind reading and slate writing. A
number of the tricks OF Saturday even
ing were new and all were successfully
done and with an ease that proves the
Germaines masters of their art

LOOPING THE L0OP IN THE NAVY.
Schley is branded as a "caitif" by the
administration "Laborer' Historian
and is to be court-martialed for making
one "loop'' at Santiago, while Admiral
Dewey, another Spanish war hero, who
is to sit on the case, made no less than
Ave loops in the battle of Manila.
Like Dewey's five loops Schley's n
loop was to clear the range for united
action against the Spanish fleet. as
anyone but acknowledgements
torian engaged in manufacturing his
tory for the immediate use of the naval
clique rather than for posterity, might
have seen at a glance.
In pointing out Dewey's quintuple
danger of being branded as a coward
and a "caitiif," a contemporary recalls
thai on that May morning when Dewey
entered Manila bay, "he fought awhile
and stopped. The whole fleet with
drew out of Spanish range and sailor
and officer alike started in upon hard
tack and hot coffee. Then after twenty
minutes there was a return 10 the work
of demolishing Spanish bottoms.
when Dewey 'retreated' for the pur-
pose of regaling himself with a cup of
coffee, he did a dangerous thing, and it
is not yet too late for Mr.. Maelay to de-
vote a page to this shameful runaway

One of the weak points with the
Amaigamated Association is that it con-
fines its organization almost exclusively
to the skilled and high salaried men,
leaving the poorly paid, more numerous
and often very competent classes of
workmen out. Many Of the latter class
are able to take more important posi-
tons in a pinch, and thus the union is
handicapped in time of trouble. If all
mill workers were brought into the fo-d
on an impartial footing, a strike would
be a strike, in fact as well as in name.
