Constant motion jars the kid

body by delicate attachments.
This is the reason that travellers,
trainmen, street car men, team
sters and all who drive very much,
suffer from kidney disease in some
form. Foley's Kidney Cure
strengthens the kidneys and cures
all forms of kidney and bladder
disease. Geo. E. Hausan, loco

"Constant vibration of the engine

fhe Mecca Of The Negro.
Philadelphia Now has More than
Seventy Thousand Colored
Population and Room
for More.

(From the Philadelphia North
Amerlcan.)
Does an increase in negro pop
ulation mean n consequent IN
crease in Jail room. That quest
ion, which has peculiar interest
for Philadelphia, is made pertinent
by declaration of Judge McCar-
thy, in Common Pleas Court, ON
Thursday. The Judge said, in
sentencing negro for larceny:
',lf you Southern negroes keep
on coming to Philadelphia we will
be put to the inconvenience of en-
larging our jails."
That the issue is of concern to
this city is shown by the census
rel Lorts. In 1880 there was a ne
gro population here of 1,699.
len years later it had grown to
80, 371. At the time of taking
the last Federal census, in 1900,
there had been q still more start
ling increase, the total figures be
ing 60, 613. Estimates made yes
terday by persons who have kept
in touch with the movement from
the South to Philadelphia Indicate
that there are today between 70, =
600 and Is, 900 negroes who call
this city home.
No other municipality north of
Mason and Dlxon's line has as
large a black population. While
the numoer of negroes in the
| United States has doubled i'm the
last forty years, it did the same
thing in Philadelphia in ten years,
less time.
Said a negro ply forward IN
efforts to better the condition of
his people in Philadelphia:
"Of course, any increase in the
number of idle poor must even.
tual'y tend to tax the capacity O,

our jais. But this result is the
slme whatever may be the color OF
the idle poor. Perhaps necessity
forces the negro into crime often
er than IN the case of other persons
because ne is virtually Il fugitive
from the land of his birth, and
comes here in state of greater
destitution.
"Why is Philadelphia so popu-
lar with the race?"
"Well, partly because of its
geographical position and partly
because it is liberal city-we
have more freedom here. Still,
don't think the latter the princi
pal reason. Under such condi
tions there is sure to be law break
