nayor Low rendered Freedom Of
City to Royal Guest.

New York, Feb. 26.-After the
launching Of the emperor's yacht the
president, with Mrs. and Miss Roose-
Welt, were the guests of the prince on
board the royal yacht. Hohenzollern,
the president and his wife leaving for
Washington in the afternoon. Miss
Alice Roosevelt remained in New York
with friends.
The feature of the afternoon was
the presentation of tho freedom Of
the city of Greater New York to
Prince Henry. The ceremony which
took place in the City Hall, was short,
and the prince, in response to the
mayors brief address, nave pleasant
expression to the desire for continued
and increasing friendship between the
two countries, while he made graceful
acknowledgment of the unusual well
come accorded him. 1t was interesting
to note that the function at the City
Hall marks the first time that the free
dom OF the city of New York has been
extended to titled foreigner since
that honor was bestowed upon the
Marquis de Lafayette in 1924 Since
then various princes have been given
marked recognition, bat the word
freedom" has never been incorpo-
rated In resolutions adopted by COM
mon council or board of aldermen.
An immense crowd had assembled
In Battery Park to do honor to the
prince and his suite. AS the prince
stepped ashore he was greeted by the
mayors secretary, and as the party,
consisting of the prince, Ambassador
Won Holleben, Consul General Buenz,
Admiral Evans and the legation at
taches, walked into Battery Place,
there was a tremendous outburst of
cheering. AS the carriages containing
the party were driven rapidly I'D
Broadway the throng which lined the
pavements and stood at the windows
OF the tall buildings gave the occu-
pants a rousing welcome At Wall
street an avalanche of ticker tape all
most covered the prince, who took 1t
in good part and saluted the throw
ers.
Prince Henry was present last even
! ing at gala performance given in his
honor at the Metropolitan Opera
House. The prince did not arrive at
the opera until $50, and the first act
OF "Lohengrin," with which the pro-
gramme was opened, was nearly fin

He had no right to charge his fellow
senator with bribe-taking during the
latter's absence, and Senator McLAURrN
could hardly have done less than brand
such charge as it deserved to be brand
ed. although he might have been more
choice in the language used.
The United States Senate should pro-
tect its dignity.
While it is about it, no doubt it would
be well to inquire whether South Caro-;
lima has a Republican form of govern
ment, and if not, expel both senators
from the body and declare their seats
vacant until the state complies with the
plain provisions of the constitution OF
the United States.

sATURI Ay, MARCH L, 100:
THE GOVERNOR AGAINST Us.
"Woodman, spare that tree,
Touch not a single bough."

The message of Gov. A. J. MONTAGUE
was noted for its brevity. His recon-
mendations were based upon common
sense and practical experience.
The only unfortunate part of the doc.
ument was his reference to the Virginia
Normal and Collegiate Institute. 1t
would have been a God-sent blessing
had he kept quiet upon the subject of
Negro education at this time when IA
eial agitation is at fever heat, and
the opposition to the advancement of
the eolored brother most pronounced.
We see no need Of the change in the
name. 1t would upset the fondest recol-
Iections of those who have graduated
from the institution II is a blow at
the higher education Of the citizen of
color. The curriculum at Petersburg is
low enough, but it seems that Gov.
MONTAGUE would make it lower.
Despite assertions TO the contrary,
we hold that it is the sworn duty of eve
~ officialin Virginia to ignore the color
line and to be willing TO accord to all cit
liens that equality before the law.
When Gov. MONTAGUE is ready to
recommend a change in the name of the
University of Virginia, and reduction
of its curriculum, then and not until
then will we acquiesce in the change of
the name anda reduction of the course Of
study at the Virginia Normal and Col
Tegiate Institute.
Gov. MONTAGUE seems to favor. too
white teachers for colored schools.
What else does this language mean?
= the mandatory exclusion of white
teachers should be repealed"
What would che Governor think if
some future Chief Executive would say
in his message: 1.-THE mandatory ex-
elusion of colored teachers from the
University of Virginia should be re-
pealed.'
This CRATES harshly upon the white
mans ear. No less so does the asser-
ZION of the brilliant Governor of Virgin
Ia sound upon the ears of the coloIed
people of the commonwealth.
The most radical Democrats gave no
&ice of their opposition to mixed schools
and emphasized it by this official recog-
milton of Negro teachers for Negro
schools.
Does the Governor propose to reverse
shis order of affairs? With every school.
house in the state at the disposal of the
white teacher, does he now propose to
take from our nominal control the only
institution wholly given over to us by
the liberality of the people of Virginia.
IF he does, so be it. Further thar
protest, we can do nothing. We bow
10 the inevitable, and submit our case
30 that God, who neither slumbers mol
sleeps; but who in few brief years
will gather unto himself at the judg
ment all of the white men whC
have hindered our progress or don,
Ausht to wound us in our struggle up tx
khe table land Of material prosperity.

AN UNUSUAL SUICIDE.

London, July l2-The great wealth
seems to have been the immediate
cause of the suicide Of Sebastian Gas

navy. A brother Of Captain Gsssiot,
who died recently, bequeathed $500.
900. $4,000, 900, to st. Thomas hos
pital, and at the inquest just held it
transpired that the captain inherited
eaOo, 900. 81, 900, 900, of his brothers
money. He therefore became depressed
by the weight of his responsibility and
imbued with the delusion that he was
exceedingly poor. Finally the captai n
shot himself at his residence July s.
In his hand was discovered q para

his brothers bequest to the hospital

VERY SENSATIONAL
Trouble at Benton Over Alleged For
ged Papers.
Finance Committee Say They Do Not
Remember Signing 1t.

At the meeting Of the town suthor-
titles last Wednesday night some sensa-
tional things were brought before the
board and some body is placed in a pc
culiarly undesirable posit ion. Some
time ago during the smallpox scare
the health officers ordered all persons
within the town to be vacoinated and
all persons who were unable to pay the
fee were to be vaccinated at the ex-
pense of the town. DR.. Hall present
cd bill to Marshal d. f. Fiser and
asked payment. Mr.. Fiser referred
him to Leroy Griffith and Clint Hol.
land the committee on finance and told
the doctor to have them sign the order
and that he would then pay il.
The doctor did so and Mr.. Piser
paid it,in full or in part and on last
Wednesday night while the council
was in session the bill was filed as .
voucher for settlement when Mr..
Griffith denied all knowledge Of its
existence saying that he had neither
seen or heard of the bill nor had he
signed it. Mr.. Holland admitted that
his name was in his handwriting but
had forgotten everything concerning
it.
This places some one in bad light
as the affair is to be investigated and
the serious charge of forgery will very
likely be preferred against some one.
