Resolutions of the Negro Young Peo-
pies Congress.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 1.-THE adoption of
an elaborate set of resolutions and the
farewell address of Bishop j. W. Gaines
brought to close the Negro Young Peo-
ples Christian and Educational con-
gress. The resolutions say:
While we have had wrongs and grievances
many, we also have opportunities and privi-
leges innumerable.
Whatever burdens we may still have to en-
dure, of adjustments, which are yet to be
made, we throw ourselves upon the justice
and fairaplay of the American people, north
and south. '''.
A genration ago we came out of bondage,
without foot t2of land, without home, with
out name. Even the clothes which covered
our poorly clad bodies were not ours. To-
day we have some land, some homes, some
money Yesterday we had nothing; to-day we
own millions of acres of land, pay taxes on
property worth millions of dollars, and raise
more cotton under freedom than under slav-
cry. r&
We earnestly recommend to our people
throughout the country that they teach their
children the dignity and value of manuai
labor, and that they give them the beneht
of an industrial education.
We are cognizant of the civic and political
Inequalities unoer WHICH Jul p0op'o az 80

continue to strive to shape their conduct SO
that they may prove themselves deserving OF
any right and privilege now enjoyed by every
other American.

LOVES VICTORY

j. p. Jensen Of Freeborn, Mimi,
Weds His Wealthy Nurse.
Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 11.-Yesterday at
Clinton, Anderson county, eliminated a
affair, when Miss Ruby Simonds,
late asnurse in one of the leading hospi-
tails of Chicago, daughter of Colonel. H.
A. Simonds, a well-known lumber dealer
of the northwest, was united in wedlock
to J. P. Jensen of Freeborn, Mimi, as she
lay dying. e..
Jensen had been in love with her ever
since she nursed him back to life four
years ago in Chicago, but on account Of
their seeming difference in station and
her seeming GOODNESS he had been afraid
to speak. AS she lay dying from typhoid
fever she called for him in her delirium,
and after her father had been told that
she could not live, he telegraphed to
Jensen, who started for Tennessee at
once, travelling night and day, arriving
there yesterday. The sound of his voice
aroused her from unconsciousness, and,
kneeling at her side, the two were mar
ried by the preacher who had been called
to administer to her the last sacrament.
There seems to be a chance, now, that
she will recover.

10 ABANDON THE MISSOURI
Career as a Means of Transportation
About at an End.


SIOUX CITY, IoWA.-Beaten in its effort to
control the treacherous stream, the United
States is about to abandon the Missouri river
to its fate and give. It up asa means Of
transportation. Railroads have grabbed the
freight, and the steamboat business has dwn :
died until it is evident congress thinks the
expense Of dredging shifting sandbars, pulling
snags and trying to hold the restless rival
In a fixed channel is not justified by the VOL
unne Of business and will surrender. :
Captain H. NJ NChittenden, chief of United
States engineers Of the Missouri river, who
replaced the Missouri river commission. be-
lieyes the career of the Missouri as a means
of transportation is at an end. Its abandon
ment is foreshadowed In his annual report
In i: he says: 81 -.s.....' -
The discontinuance Of the Missouri river
commission and the. greatly reduced appro-
priations, as compared with former years, for
both upper and lower, rivers, indicates an in
tention: :Cn the part of congress to abandon
the river altogether in the near future. Be
fore the rendition of the annual report for
1903, the officer in charge will be prepared to
submit comprehensive statement of the con-
ditions Of the entire river and the advisability
or non advisability Of further work upon It, =
The millions spent in an effort. to make the
Missouri a permanent, canal for commerce
have been washed away, like the fertile acres
along the treacherous stream. 1t is Of no use,
and the government evidently wants to give

Copenhagen, Aug. 1.-THE official organ
of the press exhibition which was opened
here on June IA. prints letter from
Thomas A: Edison, in reply to queries as
to his opinions concerning motor trac-
tion and aerial navigation. Mr.. Edison
letter reads as follows:
81 belive that within thirty years nearly
all railways will discard steam locomo-
tives and adopt electric motors, and that
the electric automobile will displace the
horse almost entirely. In the present
state of science there are no known facts
by which one could predict any COM
mercial fut ure for aerial navigation"
