Bishop Potter on The Negro.

Bishop Potter on The Negro.
News and Observer.
At a meeting held recently
IN Carnegie Hall, New York,
in the interest of the Hamp.
ton and Tuskagee Institutes
Bishop Potter, Of N. Y, per-
haps the most prominent di.
vine in the United States, de-
clared that the main thing
which divides the negro from
the white man is the lack OF
culture. He also emphasized
the fact that after President
Roose velt entertained Book

merous letters from the peo.

This utterance by Bishop
Potter will be read with grea t
amazpment and sorrow by
all intelligent people in the
South. Such expressions show
that he is entirely ignorant

utterances are inspired by
sympathy and zeal for the
negro.

A SAD AFFAIR

Torrington, Jan. 22.--Henry Chiron, a Frenchman, residing at 14 Goodwin street was taken in charge by the town authorities this morning, having been adjudged insane by the physician who examined him yesterday.
 About year ago his wife was fatal ly burned by an oil stove which had caught fire, and which her husband in trying to get out of the house had ac- cidentally thrown against her person.
 Chiron brooded over his loss and inn agined that he was her murderer. so that at last it was considered unsafe for him to be left alone with the chill dren. The four children, Jennie, aged thirteen Emil, ten; Irene, 6. and liar " five, were taken this afternoon to the Gilbert home by Officer Hall An older sister is already in that institu- tion. The father was taken to the Middletown asylum.

A BEAUTIFUL DOLL SHOW
HUNDREDS VIEW THE ANIMATION
 IN EDW. M4LLEY coz STORE.
Fine Reproduction of tho BicentenniaI Pnrade-Classes Represented in Their Very Funny -One on Carry Nation.

One of the most interesting and
 largely attended doll shows ever held
 in New Haven is the one now in pro-
 gress in the Edward Malley store, in
 the millinery department. From early
 morning until the store closes at night
 the department is crowded with chil,-
 dren and all interested in a display of | this sort should not miss the opportu-
 nifty of seeing the rapid progress in | the art of making dolls that can be seen there. Years ago the old china
 doll was thought to be about the acme
 of perfection in that line, this improve
 ment having been made over the still
 older rag doll The rag doll and the
 china doll are on exhibition in the pret-
 ty show cases in the big store and right
 next to them are the upto-date bisque and wax dolls showing great contrast and improvement in the development of the little creature during the past
 ten years There are about 400 dolls of all sizes and descriptions in the many show cases and they are admired by
 tll NpIle case IS ueNOltu lO the CtldE- acter doll another to the swell doll, with their magnificent dresses. coats and hats and another is devoted to the old fashioned dolls Of course there are the promenade dolls and these were of special interest to all the visitors.
 A large portion of the millinery de- partment is taken up with reproduc- tion of the bicentennial parade. A stage has been built and at the rear there is a large painting representing the three churches on the green. The parade of the dolls In the many cos tunes that the undergraduates and | graduates of the university were attir- ed in on that great evening is repre- | sented to extend from the corner of . Temple and Chapel streets around the ! lower half of the green. About 100 dolls | make up the parade and some of the ! costumes they wear are the familiar | sailor, Indian. colonial and ordinary cap and gown. Many of the prome- made girls who were unable to take in the original parade were to be seen in the Malley store Monday and Tuesday getting a glimpse of the reproduction and wishing they had had the chance [. to take in the original About dog en banners that were carried by the different classes were there in nina ture in the arms of the dolls and the whole effect of the doll parade is strik- ingly like the march Of the Yale men last October
 The character dolls were excellent, one of the best take-offs being that of Carrie Nation.
 The entries of dolls have been made from all parts of the state and the award of prizes will probably take place Saturday. The show will con tinue all the week and it is advisable for those wishing to take a good look 1t the little people that they come to he store before the close of the public schools in the afternoon, When the schools let out the rush for the Big Store is a biz one.

MINISTER WrJ IN THE ART
 GALLERY

1AIlSFIJk |.
 Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister was exploring the Corcoran Art Gallery one day last spring, evidently with the idea of impressing on his mind the fundamental difference be- tween the oriental and occidental brands of art.
 Hubert Vos, the noted Dutch painter, happened to have on exhibition in the Hemicycle a number of portraits of representative types of various races. MT. Vos. had stayed far afield in collecting his gems, and the display included presentments of Tibetan Lamas' Indian rajas, Arabian chiefs, Javanese nobles and Chinese mandarins. Among the latter were the portraits of Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang.
 The artist with the diplomat in tow, paused before these canvases
 "Who is that?" asked MT Wu. point ing toward the picture of Ching.
 That is Prince Ching" replied Vos.
 Tt don't look like him." was the only comment, and the party passed on to Earl Ii.
 Who's that?''
 That is Ii Hung Chang"
 Tt don't look like him." said the minister again..
 But it's only quarters view, you know" said the artist, apoioge- tically
 Tt don't look three-quarters like him." said Wu, And the later, when the remark hit the chorus of sweet girl art students who had been forming an animated back ground they retired without and Washington Times.
