She Was White.

Recently young white lady in Ken
lucky boarded train, and being of a
dark complexion the conductor and
train crew mistOok her for a uuadroon
Negress and ordered her to take a seat
IN the niger car" The young ladv
protested, but say what she could or
would to the contrary she was unable
to convince them that they were griey-
ously mistaken, and was finally driven
TO the Jim crow car and there sweat
ed and fumed during a half a davis
ride OF having actually been trans
formed into a Negro in broad day
light 1t would not have been so bad
II she had only have gone to sleep a
Caucasian and woke up a Negro, but
the TRANSPORTATION was going on and
she was forced to sit quietly by and
watch it do so, which was doubIy hui
initiating to her. She finally reached
her destination, and quickly inform
ing her attorney Of the insult she had
been subjected to, he took immediate
action, and now that company is S1O,-
900 poorer on account of the conduct
or's stpuid blunder It's an ill wind
that blows no one any good, for now
nearly third of the colored folk ride
IN the first class car lest another mis-
take be made, and the other two-thirds
feel hopeful that the leading whites of
the state will get the Jim crow car
law repealed, preferring to have col
ored folks ride in the first class car
rather than to have their women folk
mistaken for niggers and thus doublv
inundated in the presence of white
folk.

wash those down they do not believe.
While at the bar drinking one day an
expre5sman came in with a bill and
walked up to Mr. Hawkins with the
remark: Mr.. Sartori, here's your
bill, Mr.. Hawkins at once dropped
on to the fellows mistake and thought
he would have little fun out of it at
Sartori's expense, so he informed the
teamster that he would not pay any
bill, that he would have to wait, that
he would have to come another day
In short, he was broke. This infUri-
ated the teamster and he began to
abuse SartOri, as he thought, in Ian
guage that wouldn't look we'll in a Sun
day schCCl lesson leaf. Mr. Hawkins
heartily enjoyed the joke and did not
lose his temper tor a minute, but final
iy SartCn came in, and then the fiji
teen or twenty persons present were
anxious to see what would happen.
Mi. I.aWkins then explained to Mr..
0aItcli what had transpired With
a vicious snap OF his eyes Sartori turn
ed to the man and in broken English
snarled: Did you think | vas damn
nigger! With the accustomed re-
partee Of his race Mr.. Hawkins then
SHE'D in: NO, | think he thought
was a damn dago!" This brought
down the house and cost Sartori not
less than FLYER" Prior to that Haw-
kins had been Sartori's attorney, but
the next day he got his check for his
monthly salary and was told that his
legal services were not further needed
at SartOri's place

and the exercises will be concluded
by the public burning the mortgage
which has been hanging over the
church for a number Of years and
which was successfully lifted by the
present pastor. Rev. Scott will soon
close his labors here and then be off
to conference, but it is hoped by
large majority, if not all of the mem
bers and patrons of the church, that
the bishop will return him for another
year, because it is plain to be seen
that he has done more toward uplift-
ing the church than any pastor
that has ever been here before.

they do this more to play good fell
lows with the whites in their opposi-
ton to the colored race than for any
thing real vicious, for it can be safely
said that the Jews are far from be-
ing race prejudiced enough to inter
fere in any way whatever with the
peaceable proceedings Of any other
race, unless for policy sake, and
hence when the Jews in the
South unite with the mObbCrs of the
colored folk they are simply trying
to be good fellows and falling in with
lie prevailing sentiment of the coun-
try.

Notwithstanding the fact, however
that there is much race prejudice
against the Jews in this country
nevertheless the Jews themselves
readily identify themselves with the
Anglo-SaxOns, and it must be admitted
IN many instances they make ideal
citizens. In other words, they on the
whole make just as good citizens as
do the AngloSaxons on the whole. or.

'Fut up street signs" is the cry of
the town just now. Putting up street
signs in Seattle might confuse the
stranger even more than he would be
If they were kept down. For instance,
how would stranger distinguish be-
tween First avenue, First avenue
north, First avenue south and First
avenue west if directed thereto? It
would require a Philadelphia lawyer
to figure out number on a street

nues, and what is true of First ave
nue. is likewise true Of many other
thOroughfares in this city.

Good as a White Man.

The idea Of a Jew being a white
man" brings to mind another mistake
which the writer heard at a Popu-
listic gathering in this city during the
halcyOn days of POpulism. One of the
speakers, who was somewhat orator.
cal as well as eloquent, spoke loud and
long of ShylOcks pound of fish, from
which Shakespeare wove such beau
tiful story. This was taken serious
exceptions to by a Jew in the audi
ence, who was a very ardent PopuIist.
He then and there arose and said that
he was opposed to this thing Of the
Jew being singled out on every occa-
sion as a ShylOck The Populists at
that time were struggling hard for q
foothOld in this county and state, and
the leaders thereof did not care to
drive single follower from the party.
and SO the speaker jumped up at once
and began to make apologies. why"
said he, Il have the highest respect for
every nationality, and | think just as
much of Jew as do of a white man. ="
This didn't better matters very much,
and resulted in the POpulistic Jew leav-
ing the room and swearing vengeance
on all forms of POpuIism. But the
thought to be brought out is the Anglo
SaxOns OF this country do not believe
the Jew While man any more so than
they believe the Negro a white man.

Thought Her Touched.

IlCT bOuCNCOs
Complexion has lot to do with ones
nationality in this country For an in
stance, not long since the writer was
coming down an elevator in which
there was young Jewess, who was
very, very dark in complexion, but
there was no denying the fact that she
was the offspring of one of the leading
Jewish families in this city For some
reason she took occasion at that CD
perfume time to state her utter dis
gust for Negroes, and she did it so
that all present could hear her very
unklnd ii not unladylike remarks. No
one protested as to the language she
used because they considered the
source from whence it came, but one
OF the AnglO-Saxons, who seemed
rather disguised with the young girls
remarks, said in pretty loud tone of
voice, We'll, was of the opinion that
the lady was something of a Negro her
self. The lady was dark enough to
be considered a Mulatto, and not a
very bright one at that, but she
thought she was getting the approval
OF her Anglo-SaxOn hearers by max
ing unkind remarks about the coIored
race. She simply wanted it known
that she was Jew and not a Negro.
Just where the honor is in being either
of the two in this country is more than
the writer, who is also a Negro. can
say, but every crow thinks his birdie
the blacklist and is the happier there
by.

Labor Congress to Meet.

The twenty-fourth annual congress of the
New Jersey State Federation of Labor will
be held August 10 and 10, in the assembly
chamber at the state house, Trenton
The labor conditions in the glass works
at Minatola will play prominent part in
the discussions which will be led by some
of the most prominent labor leaders in the
state
1t was stated by prominent labor adyo-
cate that an effort will be made TO secure
legislation with view of having a more
strict enforcement of the law prohibiting
the employment of child labor.
Reports from almost every corner of the
state say that this law is meeting with
wholesale violation, because of the laxity
on the part of State Factory Inspector
Ward and his deputies in doing their duty.
There are many plants which claim to be
immune from the visitations of a factory
inspector. with the result that distressed
conditions exist.
1t is known that frequent attempts have
been made to have Governor Murphy see to
a more rigid enforcement Of the labor laws,
but aside from rebuke to Factory Inspec-
tor Ward nothing further has been done.
The New Jersey State Federation of
Labor is part of the American Federation
of Labor and is organized principally to
review annually state labor conditions. The
congress is made up of representatives of
each central labor union in the state, which
in turn are the representative bodies of each
local labor union. After the session the
state federation makes it report to the
heads of the American Federation Of Labor.
