THE ONLY YKN1GHT OF COLOR

The late Sir Conrad Reeves, chief jus tice of Barba does, was so distinguished and striking a personality and his ca reer was in many respects so remark able, and, indeed. it may be said unique, that I cannot help thinking the read CTS of "The Times" would like to know something more of him than appears in the brief obituary notice which is printed in your columns this morning. Perhaps, therefore. you will allow one who for some years enjoyed his friend sship-a friendship not unmixed with ri valry at the bar and in the local legis- ture-to bear somewhat fuller testimony to his signal worth and achievement,
 It is not correct to describe him as a negro in the sense in which that word is used in the West Indies. He was a dark man of color-that is to say, of mixed European and African blood. He was born in Barbados some eighty years ago in very humble circum- stances, He began life, with little or no advantages of education, as a printers devil. By and by he rose to be re- porter His ability and industry in that capacity were so marked that his
 
 land to read for the bar. After he had been called" by the Middle Temple he returned to his native island, and soon acquired a considerable practice as an able and eloquent advocate For some years he abstained from politics, but In 1873 he was elected to the House of As- sembly, where he rapidly came to the front. In 1876, at the instance of MT. Pope Hennessy, then governor of the island he was appointed solicitor gen. eral. This office. however, he held but for few months, resigning it in order to take the leading part in the bitter contest between MT. Hennessy and the local legislature. His conduct in that the respect and regard of his country men. Nor in the result, did it perma- nently alienate him from her majesty's government. for in 1881 he was appoint ed to the higher office of attorney gen. eral of the island. After good service in this post, he was advanced In 1886 to the dignity of the chief justiceship, and not long afterWard received the honor of In that office he adminis- tered the law so fairly, so firmly. so courteously and so efficiently as to win In an extraordinary nea ure the esteem. the confidence and the affection of all classes of the community. When he died, on the Sth inst. the governor, with the consent of the members of the local legislature, accorded him the honor of a. public funeral, and the sorrow of the people of the island was test flied by the immense number of persons who at tended 1t and witnessed the ceremony. In the history of Barbados his will al- ways be clarum at venerable nomen.
 But there is even wider point of view from which his chara cter and career are So far as my knowledge goes he is the most distinguished man of color ever born in the British domin- ions, and it is not too much to describe him as the fine flower of that liberal and policy which the mother country practises toward the weaker races under her sWay-Sir J. w Gar

tivity everywhere. Coal trains pulling into town and departing, laden with fuel for distant parts of the state. Red-cheeked, are-armed, lusty women hanging the clothes out to wash or gos- siping at the doors of their houses. Miners smoking company tobacco in nicotine-reeking cob pipes. Childrers everywhere. ,,their light-hearted laIgh- ter sweet music for weary miners trudging homeward with grimy faces and empty lunch boxes. The shug- -chug of the engines scarcely ever teasing. with shrill whistles at intervals, indica~ ting that the ponderous thing of iron and steel was doing it's best.
 The miners are an Interesting class. as former sheriffs of Kankakee county can tell. It is said they made whiskey in their cellars and more than once blind pigs were raided, but always too late, for the village, standing just half mile from the Grundy county line, en- abled illicit distillers to find an easy f1a- ven of refuge from Kankakee officers. Tracy being unincorporat ed could not secure license. but the miner must have his dram when he emerged from the pit with dust-caked throat.
 One day there was conference be- tween the brown -corduroyed mine su- ,perintendent and the alert president of the Illinois Coal company.
 Veins giving out" said the superin- tendent; then added in response to a question, Nope, nothing to be gained by operating any longer"
 So one day, the cage made it's last as- sent to the top of the long shaft of mine No. 3. Engine and machinery were loaded on cars and shipped to Clarke City. The company's store was denu- ded of it's stock. Most of the buildings were moved away. The miners came no more to Tracy. They were glad to move to the larger and more lively town of Clarke City-such of them as re- mained in the employ of the company. Tracy's streets became grass grown. The village was left to the crows and Inter-Ocean.

A CHINA HEAD.
Comes From Tea Drinking,

A lady writes from Shanghai China Tn the summer of '9S, Husband and I were travelling through Southern Eu- rope and l was finally laid up in Rome with slow fever. An American lady gave me some Postum Food Coffee which I began using at once It was my sole breakfast and supper In a short time the change in my physicaI condition was wonderful to see. I will never travel again without Postunl.
 When we arrived in Shanghai we were in an English community and found ourselves in the midst of the four o'clock tea custom Before long we be- gan to have sleepless nights and ner- vous days as a result of our endeavors to be amiable and conform to custom.
 As soon as it could arrive from San Francisco we had a large supply of Postum Food Coffee and began it's use at the four o'clock tea table. I cannot tell how popular the coffee table be- came for afternoon callers. In fact a number of the business men, as well as missionaries, use Postum now wholly In place of tea and the value of the change from coffee and tea cannot be estimated" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

COLLEGE PRESIDENTS.
THE PROBLEMS WHICH ARE TO
 BE SOLVED
Fly Those Who Have Recently Been
 Chosen

It is an interesting fact that within the past three years nearly 30 American colleges and universities have been called upon to elect a president. Of these institutions, moreover, some were of the very first rank. Among the uni- versailles, Yale, California. Brown Roche ter, Jo ns Hopkins and ( o umbia were the most conspicuous, and among the colleges, Amherst, Oberlin, Marietta and Iowa. The president of western university, commenting upon this fact, makes the remark that there are always more colleges, presidencies vacant than there are competent men to fill then-that is to say, the supply. Hence he is led to offer the interesting though quite impracticable suggestion that our universities might to Sdvan- tage enlarge their curricula by the es- tablishment of chairs in university ad- ministration, for the benefit of aspir- ing young scholars, who could by this means become fitted to undertake the
 
 upon the American college president of to-day
 Putting aside for the moment this suggestion, let us consider just what are the qualifications of one who is to administer, successfully the affairs of an American university of the first rank. And before all else. it should be noted that the American college presi- dent is in fact as well as in name the actual working head of the institution over which he presdes, and that in consequence his functions are sharply distinguished from the chancellor or the Rector Magnificus of European uni versity. The American is not a figure head not d purely ornamental person- age who appears upon occasions of cere- mony gowned and hooded in a gorgeous blur of irreconcilable colors. He is not the mouth piece of faculty or of group of faculties, nor a dummy through which some ponderous and to the world at large impalpable board of governors or regents, or other slow ticles gradually act; but he is q man, hestating, administrative par personality-strong and in all that relates to his charge supreme. In fact. the American university president is a con- crete illustra ton of the one-man power an educational czar, And just as the i

LINGO OF THE CIRCUS.

| Expressive Terms That Are Meaning less to Those Who Speak Only Eng fish.
 Circus people talk jargon that would be unintelligible to the uniniated. To
 those in circus life the manager or the head of any enterprise is always the
 main guy" while those in subordinate
 positions are simply guys" The tents
 are called tops by circus men, and
 they are sub-divded into the ''big top, !" the animal top,' the kid top" the candy top" and so on. The side-show,
 where the Circus girls fat women and
 other curiosities known as freaks" are shown, is termed the kid show" and
 the man with the persuasive voice who
 seeks to entice people to enter is known as a Darker" or a "spieler."
 The men who sell peanuts, red lemon- ade palm-leaf fans and concert tickets are known as "butchers," while that of circus followers whose methods are outside of the pale of the law are guns" or "grafters," To get persons money without givng an equivalent is to turn them" A countryman is either "Rube" or "yap." The musi clans with the circus are known as wind tanners, the train men, canvas men and other laborers are razor backs" The distance from one town to another is always known as a jump" The show ground is called the lot," and the dining tent, where the circus people get their meals is the camp"
 An acrobat is known as 'knker," and all things that are used in the ring, such as banners, hoops and the like, are called objects. Those who lie on their backs and iuggle children on their feet are called "Risleys," and if other objects are balanced on the feet they are barrel kickers." Money is re- ferred to as "coin'' or "cush,' and one who pays the salaries is either the ghost or the man in white" A trunk is called 'keester," and a valise is a turkey" To get away quick is to de a "vamp' and of those forced to leave, they say "got the hurry" Those who have been long in the busi- ness are "old landmarks" and a new addition to the profession Is either a butt in" or @ Johnny Newcomer" Food is called chuck and they say an intoxicated person is "soused." A fight IS a scrap, but any trouble that can- not be handled by the regular officers is a "mix-up," and a whistle is blown, at the sound of which each employee grabs stake or other handy weapon and yells Hey, Rube' which is the call to arms.
 proposed victim is known as "sucker' to the confidence men who follow the circus. and flaming a suy'' is to make sure he has no weapons on him before they proceed to get his money To "frisk" g. train is to arm lot of husky employees with stakes and search the cars for crooks and "sure thing" men, There is no chance for ar gument at this time. If you see one of these Worthies leaving in a hurry ask | him where he is bound he will generally l say "To the tall and uncut" ."--Detroit 1 Free Press
