His Gall"

Booker Washington says that dur
ing the early days of freedom almost
every Negro who learned to read
would receive "a call to preach"
within few days after he began read
ing. He tells of a colored man in
Alabama who, one hot day in July,
while he was at work in cotton
field, suddenly stopped and, looking
toward the skies said:
20 Lawd, de cotton am so grassy,
de work am so hard, and de sun am
so hot, l believe this darkey am
called to preach.

good turn the other day to thinly clad,

ing in front Of Trinity Church. The SOL
diers were making a hilarious way 10

stopped and took observations through a
big black bottle. The sandwich mans
teeth chartered and he looked at the bot
tie greedily. One of the soldiers noticed
the mute appeal. Have drink. old par
typ" he said, passing the bottle over. The
sandwich man grabbed 1t in two purple
hands and before the cavalryman could
stop him he had drank at the least half
pint of cheap whisky. Then he wiped mis-
lips on his coat sleeve and returned the
bottle. The cavaisyman's eyes bulged

fnement there he was ifFied by general
court martial upon the ehafge of insnbor-
dination and disobedienae to orders at the
battle of Charlottesville in the nre-ed-
ing May.
The only witness. it is said. was the
lieutenant, who was his personal enemy.
Lebare asked The court to send for some
of the men of his company, who knew all
the facts in the case, TO testify in his be-
half, but the lieutenant who had the
grudge against him, declared that the men
were all on extra duty and could not be
spared as witnesses. Lebare was, there
fore convicted and sentenced to be i'm
prisoned during the remainder OF his ser
vice. nineteen months. and to forfeit six
months pay and all allowances.
He served the full term of his I'M
prisonment and was sent to Columbus.
Ohio, and his papers forwarded to the
provost marshal at that place The pro-
vost marshal sent for Lebare and ordered
him to appear before the United States
mastering officer and be mustered out.
This he did and on May 10. 1865. was duly
mustered out by Capt. l.. Harper, Fifth
United States Cavalry. who sent his pa
pers to Washington.
"On October IL or therea bouts Lebare re-
ceived by express a package from Wash
ington containing an honorable discharge
and check for S26023, payment in full
for the term for which he had not already
received compensation. This closed his
connection with the Union Army.
''Lebare went home to Kentucky, mar
ried. and reared a family of three girls.
In 1884 his wife died. leaving him with
the three small children, the eldest four
years of age. The youngest was but three
months old. He brought them up with
scarcely any assistance. Eventually. all
three married. The eldest daughter died
about four years ago. leaving a child one
year old Lebare took his granddaughter
and assumed the task of rearing her
In 1897 Lebare applied for a pension
and was at once confronted with the SEN
tence of the court-martial in 1863 at War
renton. Time passed and Lebare could
not seem to get the matter Strengthened

Capital, making the entire journey on
foot For Six days in the latter. part of
November 1t rained or showed almost
continuously, with sleet and generally
uncomfortable weather. but Lebare kept
on his journey. During these six days
and nights he was never under a roof, his
clothing was often frozen stiff and he was
oftel hungry.
Finally, after walking fully 600 miles,
and having slept only three nights under
shelter in the twenty-seven days of his
journey, he arrived in Washington. With
the assistance of Representative W. b.
Shattuck of Ohio, he is making a fight for
the removal of his disability, which. he
says, Is entirely due to the mistaken SEN
tence of the court-martial at Warrenton,

resemblance between the Indian and the
gypsy The gypsy is more intelligent be-
cause he wanders among more int II gent
people. There are cultivated or civil zed
gypsies. and cultivated or civilized In
dams. He is a civilized man who became
a gypsy. and there are many gypsies who
ehetely settle down to civilized life. par
ticularly the gypsy musicians who come
to America to make a fortune.
But they find themselves very much
mistaken when they get here. On this
head Mr. Matus had some very vehement
things to say. He spoke somewhat after
the following fashion:
You cannot imagine the sorrowfuI con-
diiton of the true Hungarian gypsy musI-
clan in this country. He heard of the
land of gold, but when he got here he
found the land Of business and of fake
In the old country the musician is well
paid. He moves the hearts OF the hearers
and they pay with pleasure Here, at all
entertainments, at restaurants, at private
parties, the musicians are the last people
considered They make only few dollars
when they made hundreds on the other
side.
This condition is brought about partly
by the enormous number of day thieves
there are in this country. What Is day
thief? 1t is a term of my own invention,
and means these cheap Polish and Russian
Jew musicians who masquerade in Hun
garian gypsy costumes and pretend to play
the real music. There war many immoral
managers of concert halls or restaurants
who engage these fakes who cannot play
and palm them off as Hungarians on the
unsuspecting public. They play for very
little, and the comparatively few true
Hungarian gypsies-not more than enough
in this country to make two full bands
are frozen out, because they will not play
for so little; they are too proud In that
way the public is deceived and the whole
profession lowered in dignity and material
prosperity. Why, sir, the so-called Hum
garian bands who play at certain restau-
rants in this city are entirely composed of
Polish and Russian Jews who do not know
the real spirit of Hungarian music.
81 and the few other genuine Hunga-
rians are consequently in almost a starv-
ing condition. l would rather die of hun
ger than play for the pittance a Russian
Jew will accept. If | could / would return
to Hungary, where | know there would be
many noblemen who would appreciate me.
