According 10 tho New York critics, Mr. Stod-

that of Llchan Campbell, whose loyalty to his
church takes precedence over paternal affection.
The play contains genuine and deep pathos, but
the consensus of New York criticism seems to be
that "The Bonnie BTier Bush is comedy. Few
plays are more full of fun, and even Mr.. Stod

brighter side Of that character.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM .
HOW 1T APPEARS TO A SOUTH
ERN COLOREO WOMAN.
From The Independent.

From The Independent.
A noble man, who has established
rescue homes for fal en- women all over
the country, visited southern city. The
women of the city was invited to meet
him in one of the churches. The fallen
women were especially invited and both
good and bad went. They sat where
ever they could find a seat, so long as
their faces were white; but |, respeC-
table married woman, was asked to sit
apart, A colored woman, however re-
spectacle is lower than the white pros
titute. The southern white woman
will declare that no negro woman are
yirtuous vet sle places her Innocent
children in their care. Many times
she goes on long visits OF days and
weeks and leaves her children with
these women. No amount of discussion
will alter a fact, and il is Il fact that a
very great number of negro women e
depfaVed. II is also a fact that those
who now condemn the negrO's deprav-
ity most, help (they or their parents)
to bring about this same depravlty.
Christian men and women of the South
sold wives away from their husbands
and then compelled them to live with
other men. Fathers sold their own
children. Beautiful girls brought large
sums 10 their owners when sold, eSpeC-
iaIlv for misstresses to the fathers and
brothers of these same women who
now marvel that the negro is not
chaste. The negro woman's immoral
ity shows more plainly than her white
sisters because she is poor and isno
rant.
A few years ago, within the memory
of us ali, a prominent white Senator
was being tried for seducing a young
white girl, and it was brought out at
the trial that FIVE hundred illegitlmate
white chllren were born in a particular
infrmary in one city in one year; ms

his. The southern white man is an
enigma; he is full of contradictions.
Social equality is riding on railroad
trains with US. sitting in church with
US, going TO school in the same build
ing with US. On the the other hand
there is no class of people who draw
the line of social demarCaIion among
people of his own color so sharply as
the sOutherner. He by no means con-
slderS all white men his social equals
because he rides, sits or studies with
them. One of the aristOcratiC mothers
OF the South would throw up her hands
in horror if she should see her daugh-
ter walking arm in arm with a poor
white carpenters daughter. Another
contradiction is: A self respecting col
ored man who does not cringe, but
walks erect, supports his family, edu-
Gates his children, and by exampe and
preCaptteaChes them thai God made all
men equal, is called dangerous mig
gel" ''he is too smart" ''he wants to
be white and act like white people.
Now, we are told that the negro has
the worst traits of the whole human
family and the southern white man the
best; but we must not profit by his ex-
ample or we are regarded as danger
ons niggeTs."
White agents and other chance visi-
itors who come into our homes ask
questions that We must not dare ask
their wives. They express surprise
that our children have clean faces and
that their hair is Combed. You cannot
insult a Colored woman you know.
Southern railway stations have three
waiting rooms, an6 the very cOnsPicu-
Gus signs tell the ignorant that this
room is for ladies" and this is for
"gents" and that for the "colored
people. We are neither ladies" nor
gents" but "COlOred.
There are aTiStOCIaUS in crime, in
poverty, and in misfO tune in the South.
The white criminal cannot think of eat
ing or sleeping in the same part of the
penitentiary with the negro criminal.
The white pauper Is just as exClu-
sive; and altho the blind cannot see
color, nor the insane care about il,
they must be kept seperate, at great
extra expense. Lastly, the dead wlite
mans bones must not be contaminated

girl is too poor to hide her shame.
Since God created men and women
there has been sin and it is confined to
no particular race.
A colored minister visited one of the
white temples of God" He was told
that he had to sit in chair back by
the door. He appealed to the pastor
Of this "holy place, man with whom
he was personally acquainted, and was
told by this brave pastor, "YOu know
it Is the custom for colored people to
st apart In our churches" The COL
ored minister walked out. God gave
him the power to walk "as well aspray." "
Bob lngeTSoll could raise his voice in
condemnation of our frequent horrors,
but the Christian ministers of the
South are dumb. They have many
crimes to account for-these crimes of
omission. They preach against the
dance, the theaters and the social card
party, but not one word do they utter

There are intelligent colored men
who hold the opinion that the educa-

1.-THE END.l

What is regarded as one of the tall
est bluffs" on record furnished Capt.
Edgar Russell, chief signal officer in
the Philippines during the insurrec-
ton, with a story which he tells as an
example of western nerve.
"We were outside of Manila in some
little scrap" said the captain, "and
about IS natives were lying in a trench
ahead of US, shooting away merrily,
but not hitring anybody. BY and by I
noticed a little disturbance in our
front. Presently four Montana troop
ers trotted out of our lines and started
straight for the FilipinOs. Everybody
looked at them with wonder, and wait
ed to see them all killed. Bullets whis-
tied all around them, but they never
halted. Slowly. just at trot, they
logged on toward the enemy. The ma
tives fired and fired, but for some un-
known reason did not hit. On and on
went the quartet, disdaining cover.
AT last there was a shout. and, to
our utter establishment, we beheld the
rs FiIipinos suddenly jump out of their
trenches and take 10 their heels in mad

troopers was too much for them. When
they all had fed. throwing their rifles

Nay Be Chosen to Design PrOpoaeS
Monument to Cecil RhOdes-Ths
FIRtteFinE Career of Kuehne
Beveridge.

Miss Kuehne Beyeridge, the sculptor,
sails from London for South Africa in
a few days on business connected with
the proposed monument 10 Cecil
Rhodes. Miss Beveridge has been
strongly urged to compete for the inn
portant commission.
Such men as Alfred Belt, the fabu-
lousy rich friend of Rhodes, consider
the young Americans chances excel
lent. Her acquaintance with the late
statesman and her singular success
in modelling his bust, for which sit
tiDgs were given when Mr.. Rhodes was
in London for the last time, are two
of Miss Beveridge's recommendations.
Her rank as an artist, moreover, makeS
her dignified competitor.
Miss Beyeridge, says the Chicago
Chronicle, has crammed an unusual
amount Of achievement into her 2T
years of life. Few women, even Amer
leans, have sold any sculpture before
they were IS; few have passed as
O'Donovan's prize pupil in New York;
and as Robins in Paris and have ex-
hibited with the Royal academy in
London at the age of %. Miss Bev-
eridge'S work has sold, and sold we'll.

lane, London, contains the most am
bilious of her productions. 1t is a

the owner of the Rhodes bust Miss
Beveridge completed it under Mr.. Belts
criticism and he thinks the likeness
remarkable.
