THEY LOVE CUFFIE.
Negro Dear to the Northern Heart
Under Conditions.
WHEN he STAYS At THE SOUTH.
People Of the Northwest Kick at the
Prospect OF Negro Regiment
Being CHARTERED in
Their Midst.

Fort Smelling is an army post in
Minnesota. about eduidistant between
the cities Of st. Paul and Minneapolis
and only few miles from either. In
deed, the government reservation is
regarded as suburb Of each city, and
it has lately grown to be something Of
a resort for the people Of BOTH Some
few years ago the Twenty-ffth United
States infantry was stationed at Fort
Smelling. Subsequently it was trans
fered to another station. Now the
war department has determined to as
sign it to its former abiding place, in
view Of which fact St. Paul and Min
neapolis are vigorously protesting to
the department.
The reason for the protest is to be
found in the color of the soldiers OF
the Twenty-ffth fnfsgtry. They are
negroes. is admitted by a news
paper representing the protestators
that the regiment is lone of the bra
vest as well as one Of the best disci-
plined in the service But that does
not suffice. The soldiers are negroes;
therefore the people Of St. Paul and
Minneapolis do no not desire them in
their neighdorhood. The st. Paul
Globe says:
Its (the regiments continued stay
here in the past did not meet with ap-
proval. Its advent in these cities win
not be welcome. Fort Smelling is in
a great measure a popular resort. tt
is unfortunately true that it's desira-
bility in this regard will be materially
lessened by the presence there Of a
colored regiment"
The paper goes on to say that mo-
bodyasked that the regiment be sent
there. and that there is neither social
nor business advantage to be derived
from the presence of the black troops.
This is a candid statement. It
gives the real reason why the Twenty
fifth infantry is not wanted at Fort
Smelling. But it appears that this is
not the chief reason that is being
urged upon the war department to in
duce it to change its mind respecting
the assignment of the regiment. The
argument that is brought to bear is
that the winter climate in Minnesota
is cold-too cold for colored men.
That is thin subtifuge, and one that
will not mislead anybody.
In this matter, by the way, we have
another illustration of how our north.
ern and western friends, who view
with complacency and approval the.
filing of southern Offices with col
ored men, kick and fret when it is
proposed to quarter few colored SOL
diers among them.

A Bloody Duel.

Two colored men fought duel to
the death with knives Saturday night
at Twenty-second and Dearborn Sts.,
Chicago. AS they slashed and plunged
the weapons into each others bodies a
crowd of more than fifty people formed
a circle around them and cheered the
combatants when one or the other
drove the knife to the hilt. After ten
minutes fierce fighting Alexander
Shirley staggered and fell with his ad-
versary's weapon sticking in his body.
The long blade had pierced his heart.
He was dead when the police arrived.
His slayer, Chas. Thomas, was bleed
ing from several wounds. Shirley
came to Chicago recently from Mis-
sissippi. He met Thomas last Mon
day and having known him in the
south, tried to borrow money from
him. Thomas refused to give assist
ance and they Quarrelled.

Defied the Order.

When William E. Chandler was
Secretary of the Navy, he issued an
order forbidding the wives OF officers
to reside at the foreign stations to
which their husbands were attached.
The order was promptly rescinded on
the receipt of the following report
from Commander F'yffe, in command
Of the Asiatic Squadron: 1T becomes
nv painful duty to report that my
wife. Eliza Fyffe, has, in disobedience
to nv orders. and in the face Of regula-
tions of the department, taken up hel
residence on the station, and persis-
tently refuses to leave"

Weddings in Brittany.

Woman is held in great honor in
that part Of the French Republic and
marriages have Solemnity that they
possess in few other places. Ii is diff
ticult to trace the history Of the Gus
tom that gives the tailor such high
rank at the wedding as the BrItons
accord him. He is the marshal for
the groom, and if he be gifted in the
art of making rhyme he may be asked
to participate in the comedy Of for
mally woing the bride by reciting
stilted verses in her presence. He
wears red hose on his right leg and
a purple one on the left when he makes
his Journey, while from the end OF his
wand are suspended two little en-
broidered hearts. When the nuptialS
are celebrated bread and wine are
blessed and exchanged with the groom
by the brides parents. The wedding
follows Immediately and the bride
barricadeS her house preparatory to
receiving the groom. The lover ar
rives. accompanied by bagpipers. who
play in front of the house while the
mock parley continues. He makes
formal demand for his wife and her
relatives bring forward her grand
mother or some other aged person.
Meantime the smell of the viandS
which are being prepared for'the feast
floats on the air. OF course, the aged
woman is politely set aside. Perhaps
a baby may be the next response to
his importantly. He must not lose
his temper or insult the one who pre-
sents the infant, but with rather eN-
aggerS. ted praise he returns the child.
\ widow and married woman are
perhaps the next TO be offered, and 1t
is not until he has refused them all
that the bride is brought ont, dressed
and ready for the ceremony.

Who Yanks His Queue.
Minister Wu Ting Fang delivered
the commencement oration Thursday
to the graduating class Of the Georgia
Military college.
During the course of his speech at
Milledgeville Thursday Minister WI
said that all efforts made by Ameri-
cans and other foreigners to guess the
cause of the absolute loyalty and devo-
tion of the Chinese subjects in time Of
trouble had been futile. He explained
that it was due to college training,
and was one of the five relations in
bred in Chinese children, VIZ; to honor
father and mother in life and after
death; to preserve under all conditions
devotion to the sovereign power; to
respect age: to hallow the relation be-
tween husband and wife and also that
between friend and friend. He said
no Chinese merchant had ever de-
rauded a man out Of penny in busi-
ness transactions, and no parents will
had ever been attacked in China. He
says China does not have to be gov
erned by thesword, because the princi-
pies of loyalty and devotion are too
thoroughly instilled in the youth OF
the land, and that this is due to col
lege training as well as to other causes.
He said the chief difference between
college education in America and in
China is that her primary Importance
is given to the mental training, and IN
China moral improvement is made OF
first Importance.
Thursday afternoon at the State In
sane asylum an inmate suddenly be-
came seized with a mania and caught
Minister WI by the queue which was
hanging down his back. 1t was jerked
and pulled with great force, causing
excruciating agony. The minister
struggled wildly, and when he was
freed from the crazy mans grasp he
fed from the buildings and got in "a
carriage, demanding that he be driven
back to the city at once. He was
oyertaken by friends and his nerves
were quieted.

important that it be filed with the

A Wonderful Old Clock.

, An interesting exhibit at the Smith
sonfan institution IS an cid German
clock that was ticking about fifteen
years before the birth of the great
American republic. 1t keeps good time
and is 40 years old. 1t is made of
hard wood, and the work was all done
by hand. Every piece OF the mechan.
ism is highly polished. and it is put
together with hand wrought rivets of
brass. The parts show very little
wear. and the timepiece is so care
fully constructed that it does not vary
a second in time during twenty-four
hours.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Paper That Stops Bullets

A series of interesting aud in their
way almost unique firing trials has
been undertaken by the Swedish gov
eminent. The purpose Of these expert
ments was to examine the effect of
shooting against p~asteboard. The tri-
ais were conducted on the wharfs Of
the Swedish navy in Carlserona, and
the target used was a prepared one of
millboard, against which fire from re-
v%olvers, rifles, carbines and machine
guns was directed.
Ihe pasteboard, which was three
inches thick, resisted completely the
bullets fired from the small arms, but
was perforated by the projectiles from
the machine guns. The experiments
may be said to have given very inter
estlng results. Bullets from the cao
b1nes used are able to penetrate wood.
en- planks five inches in thickness, but
they could not penetrate the paste
board, which vas only three inches
thick. /

OF these juices. With the body fatieued
and c~ontinuallyin action, the blood is drawn
away from the digestive organs, hence the
digestive fluids cannon be supplied. Natur-
ally this leaves a lot Of undfgested food in
Inc stomach that is not only useless but
harmful. Now what is to be done?
1t must be digested. A little stimulant
might help it temporarily, but that makes
the next meal still more difficult to digest.
as 1t draws on the digestive juices unnatur,
ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor
rect, common sense way Of treating these
cases is to furnish q substitute, which must.
In order to be effectual, contain exactly the
same lements in exactly the same propor-
lions as the natural digestive fluids.
The one preparation which can be abso-
1utely proven to meet these requirements is
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It is not an experi-
menu at your expense but the result Of ex-
per1ments at our expense. It is not a mere
stimulant to aid digestion, but is itself a
c1m6lnaelon OF all the digestants and actu-
ally digests the food by its own individual
powers of action without any aid whatever
from the digestive organs. It will digest
food even in a bottle under proper condi-
tions, temperature, ETC., so it certainly
can't help having the same action in the
stomach.

Statues In Politics.

The commander of a British vessel
was a few months ago a guest Of Pres
1dent Cipriano Castro of Venezuela.
who did everything in his power to
entertain his visitor. One afternoon,
says The Youths Companion, the pres
1dent drove b officer about the CITY,
pointing out the monuments which
adorn the venue and plaZas of the
capital Of Little Venice.
Portcnts of the revolution which has
now involved both Venezuela and the
United States Of Colombia were not
wanting, and the Englishman, thinking
of the precarious political condition
and noting the number of monuments
In bronze erected to men who were still
living, inquired of the president il it
were not somewhat risky to build me-
MORALS to living heroes.
Eyes, senor," replied the president
"but in case there is a revolution and
another party comes into power these
monuments are hurled down and others
erected in their places"
"That would seem to be a heavy ex-
pense to the state" commented the
Englishman.
"True, but honoring our supporters
In this manner helps to keep them
faithful and is worth all the COSTS"
Il should suggest, then, if you will
pardon the advice of a stranger. that
as a measure of economy you have
these statues cast with detachable
heads, so that when one of your nu-
merous revolutions occurs you can
simply unscrew the head of the hu-
INFLATED hero and replace it with that
o. the conqueror."
"Ah, that would never work." re-
Joined the president. ''They already
feel that their heads are none too firm
u fixed on their shoulders, and such an
arrangement would be entirely too sug-
gestive."

Male Beavers Dam a River

The biggest beaver dam ever seen in
Maine is now attracting hundreds of
people to Caribou. on the Aroostook riv-
er. Two miles from the village the bea-
vers have built a dam of logs and mud
2oO feet long, turning the river back
upon the lowlands for a distance Of
three miles and thus creating a great
lake. Trees a foot in diameter have
been cut down by the beavers, the
branches trimmed off and the trunks in
some mysterious manner brought to
the dam and submerged. The dam is
better than many on the river that
have been built by man, and the Carl
bon people are rather proud of it. Over
a thousand beavers have worked hard
on this job for several months, and
they will be allowed to remain in pos
session all winter.-Lewiston Me.)

Bogus Art Works In Paris.

In a recent issue reference was made
TO the trade in Paris in bogus pictures
and works of art generally. An extern
s1ve fraud has now come to light in
connection with tapestry for SO called
antique furniture. The carving for
"~or1ginaP' seventeenth and eighteenth
century articles is responsible for this.
The demand has far exceeded the SUD-
ply, and ingenious inventors of an un-
~scrupulous class have set about meet
ing it. The antique, with all it's faded
and worn effects, has been SC success
fully produced that even experts have
been deceived. At last the matter has
become so fragrant that the police have
taken it in hand, and some arrests have
been made. In the meantime, how
ever, a rich harvest has been reaped.
for many an amateur Of the antique
has his rooms furnished with these
bogus productions.-Paris Messenger.
