Thousands Of Negroes
Assembling in Atlanta.
Bishop Gaines Delivers Address
to the Negro Young Peoples
Christian and Educationa!
Congre: s.

49, W Wy
sovsn thousand negroes gathered
this afternoon in the agricultural
building at Piedmont park for the
erening session of the Negro
Young Peoples Christian snd Ed
ucational Congress, which is the
most extensive convention of
colored people ever hold in the
United States. Bishop Wesley j
Gaines of A. M. E. church is the
president of the conference and
his address was the feature of the
opening day.
Addresses of welcome were
made by Gov. Chandler of Geor
gia, and Mayor MINIS of Atlanta,
and were responded to by Prof. L
Garland Penn, of Atlanta; Rev.
w. j. Jones of Charlotte, N, G. ;
Rev. DR.. w. H. Weaver of Pitts
burg, Pa, and Rev. b. w. Ar
nett, Jr., of Springfield, Ohio.
The greetings of the Methodist
Episcopal church wero extended
by Bishop Joseph M. Walden of
Cincinnati.
The address of Bishop Gaines
was in part Us follows:
"The race question will adjust
itself nataraIl y under such condi.
tioDs, for God has ordained that
a good and wise people will pros
per anywhere and everywhere.
Lei, respecabslsty of intelligence
and Christian character clothe q
man, despite his race and despite
his color, n, oppositions aad pre-
judices will prevent Ills progress
to wealth, happiness and pros
peritY.
81 believe that the better class
of white people in this county are
anxious to see the negro become
a wise, intelligent and thrifty cit
zen. Many of them are helping
forward his education by their
money and influence. We would
be lacking in gratitude to the
white men, both Of the north and
the south, did we not greatly ac-
knowledge their philantropic gifts
to the cause of negro education.
Our white friends are not our
enemies, and though often the
worst elements of our race bring
shame upon Us, they are wise
enough those of AS who are hon.
estly trying to make good citi..
zens. In this movement we will
have the hearty endorsement of
the better class Of white people of
this country and the negro, who
has intelligence and character, has
nothing to fear from this class
who wish him to better his con-
dition. They furnish no barriers
to their industrial betterment, but
will gladly open to him avenues of
development and useful labor.
"When the negro shall have
justified his position by thus fit
ting himself both in character and
intelligence for the best citizen
ship his rights before the law will
be more sacredly regarded and all
complaints of injustice, now some
. times unfortunately too welt
founded, will be at au end.'
Tonight's session was devoted
to Sunday schools aud young peo-
ple's society.

Delayed trains have somewhat en-
barrassed the Democratic politicians
and delayed by several hours the usual
pre-convention wire-pulling.
No through trains arrived here to-
day, and in consequence only few of
the delegates to the Democratic Terri
torial convention have arrived. The
Gila county men are on the ground.
They are for Wilson, but his declara-
tlon at the MaricOpa county convention
in favor of Tonto Basin inpreference to
the San Carlos dam has caused some
disturbance, and they are not as en-
thusiastic as they were when they
were elected.
The Pima county delegates are en-
tertaining the visitors, and the Pima
county men being for Shannon, they
are trying to do some missionary work.
Mr.. Shannon is on the ground, mixing
with the delegates, and being an old
timer and extensively acquainted. hi
acts as introducer more frequently
than as the intrnduced..

delegates from the northern counties
have been stalled at Maricopa all day.

SWIMMERS CRAMP.
Et Is Not So Very Dangerous IL the

Et Is Not So Very Dangerous IL the
Victim VIII Keep Cool.
If swimmers could be trained to keep
cool under all circumstances, there
would be comparatively little drown
ing among bathers and summer pleas
ure seekers. Cramp is usually assigned
as the cause when some good swimmer
browns. But cramp ought in reality to
be nothing serious. Usually is affects
only an arm or leg or maybe only a
hand or foot. Any moderately good
swimmer can keep af1oat with one arm
or even without the use of that, yet
good swimmers drown often as a result
of cramp. If such fatalities were ana
Iyzed, they would be more properly
rlassed as drowning from fright and
loss of nerve, This comes from the fact
that every one is taught in childhood
to fear the water and comes as q
grown man and a swimmer to fear
cramp. The average opinion is that
the man who is attacked when swim
ming in deep water is as good as
drowned. Therefore, when a swimmer
feels leg or arm begin to cramp he is
frightened in most cases entirely out
Of his wits. He loses his head, begins
to splash and paw and struggle and
then goes down.
What the swimmer should remember
is that he can keep afloat with very,
very little effort if he will turn on bis
back and keep his chest inflated. 1t is
Z
every swimmer knows and finds very
easy. If the swimmer Will keep cool
and float, the cramping limb VIII fire,

find himself as we'll as ever-OU;;ng.

CHINESE WASTE PAPER.
Every Scrap with Printed Charac.

ter Upon 1t Is Sacred.
You will never find upon the street
or in the rubbish heap a scrap of pa
per with Chinese characters written
or printed upon it. An intelligent
Chinaman, questioned as to the rea-
son, explained the matter in this way:
"Melican man never tears Up and
flows in stleet his Bible or hymnbook.
Chinee lifting all same to Chinaman as
Mclean mans Bible"
Then he still further elucidated the
mystery by leading the way to the cell
lar of a Race street house, in which,
piled up before gigantic furnace,
were bundles of paper and sacks of let
ters and newspapers printed in Chi
nese hieroglyphics.
Interpreted into plain English the old
Chinaman'S story was that the orien.
tails regarded the written characters
as so sacred that this furnace was es.
pecially set apart, after being blessed
by the priests, for the incineration Of
all Chinese letters and documents.
So sacred indeed was the Chinese
writing regarded by the orientals that
the most compromising letters of the
highbinders and the private CORE.
spondence of families were left with
confidence in the care Of the furnace
attendant, it being perfectly well
known that he would not risk his i'm
mortal soul by committing the deadly
sin of prying into correspondence COM
mitted to his care to be given to the
flames.
Nor does the oriental regard the Chi
nese writing as safe from the hands of
the infidel even when every scrap of it
has been reduced to ashes. After the
paper has been burned the ashes are
! carefully collected, and when enough
has accumulated to make q load they
are shipped on board boat belonging
to the Chinese Merchants company,
by which society all such matters are
managed, and taken to sea, where they
are scattered over the surface of the
ocean.
To the Chinaman it is horrifying to
see the white mans newspapers used
for wrapping purposes. his letters
scattered around the streets to be
walked on and his old books flung
around when read as though of no
| more sacredness than old boots. A
| letter, an envelope, the printed slips
extolling the virtues of preserved gin.
ger or the characters that advertise
laundry for sale become. after their
usefulness has passed. as sacred as
the gilded ornaments that add to the
glory of the joss.
One man is employed in Chinatown
to collect the waste paper. He calls at
the stores and the rooms and gathers
1t up with the utmost care, tying it in
sacks so that not shred shah escape.
With his sacred burden he goes to the
furnace room and hands the sacks to
the important parsonage in charge
there. who slows it away ready for the
neXt burning day. Twice a week the
furnace is lighted and the sacks Of pa
per soIemnly committed to the flames,
with many incantations.-Ph Philadelphia
