Baltimore, Md, Sept. 19-In the
arena of the Eureka Athletic club to-
night Joe Cans will defend his light

that the only man he wished to face
was Gardner. Cans believes Gardner
to be among the topnotchers in his
class, and thinks he will give him Il
stiff battle. Sporting men. however,
incline to the opiniont hat Gardner is

Devoured by Worms.

Children often cry, not from pain,
but from hunger, although fed abund-
antly. The entire trouble arises from
inanition, their food is not assimi-
lated. but devoured by worms. A
few doses of Whites Cream Vermi-
fuge will cause them to cease crying
and begin to thrive at once, very

and sufficient energy to work out his
plan would be welcomed by the whites
in Inc South, and his aid to the colored
people would be of the sort that tells
for the future. This is the kind of
work that the New England women
did by organizing little clubs in the
North soon after the war. Many of
them would live on half fare, and
many others would deprive themselves
of some accustomed luxury in order
that they might get the means neces-
sary to send a barrel of clothing. or

HOW TO HELP THE SOUTH
Prof. Z. A Johnson, In an Open
Letter. to Bruce Grit Max
Some Practical Suggestions
Work Not Talk Wanted,

My dear sir:-I have always regard
ed you as one of the best writers of
the race, before the public today. My
opinion is strengthened by your re-
cent article in The COlored American
on the southern situation, using Dancy
as subject. Your lambasting of the
fellows who yelp and shout about
what ought to be DONE and who are
always long distance from the firing
line, and who constantly do nothing
to help the solution of the knotty pro-
blem in the South, is rich. Hit 'em
agini"
The fact is, we are here like a sur
rendered or Overpowered army. Com
pletely at the mercy of the enemy,
to attempt fight would mean annihila-
ton The only sensible thing to do
is TO make terms with the other side.
The better the terms the better the
conditions. That's just what we are
trying to do. The other side manifest
a disposition TO treat with us, and we
desire to, and are grasping the oppor-
tunity. Meanwhile something may
turn up for the better. Certainly the
first thing, as Grant said, is ''let us
have peace" If we can get peace,
sensible conclusions may be reached
and some adjustments of the situation

happily on to solution. Anyhow we
can then reach them. AS it now stands
in many places they simply cannot
be reached in the ordinary way. We
may write long essays and engage in
philosophical discussions from now
until dOomsday, but the man in the
woods knows nothing about this. and
therefore is unmOved. If those who
are better circumstanced in the North
and elsewhere, wish to reach these
people, let them organize and send out
sensible men and women who will go
TO the front and help teach the people
how best to adjust themselves to the
demands of this new century's civili-
zation. There is a crying demand for
this kind of work. while much of the
other is mere bOmbast and a waste of
energy that might be put to a better
purpose.
