Miss Dorothy Smart, the youngest
daughter of Col Charles Smart Of the
United States army, has left the world
and has become novice in the Con
vent of the Sacred Heart, Kenwood,
Albany. 1t is said that the young
woman retired TO the convent to es-
cape the attentions of young Senior c.
de Ponte, military cadet How true
this may be is uncertain, but her
friends claim She has entered the
convent to be rid of lover she could
not marry and that she will go
through her novitiate and be received
in full standing in the order She is
beautiful accomplished and a favorite
in the Washington social set.
Miss Marcella Arnold Salisbury of
ST, Louis has run away to be married.
When her friends heard Of it they
said mo wonderlY And It was
none. For three generations in this
family there has not been woman
married except after an elopement.
Her mother and her mothers two
sisters eloped to be married Her two
aunts eloped. Then Marcella's sister
Jenny ran away and was married. Her
mothers mother also had eloped. The
records Of the family fail to show one
marriage in which there was not an
elopmement. So when Miss MarcelIa
decided to marry Harry Festes Bar
bour, and ran away to do it, the
friends of the family simply shrugged
their shoulders and said that they
had expected It. Some Of the elope-
ments have been caused by parental
objections, but others seem to have
been caused simply by desire to OBJ
serve the traditions Of the house

 As A the leading Demo-
 Presidential cratic papers of New
 Possibility. York have come out strongly in favor of MT Cleveland as the nominee for the Presidency in 1904. They assert that he is the only man who can beat President Roosevelt and W ith all their arts are trying to boom him as a candidate. They seem to think that he is strong with the independent voters and that he would win if nominated. Cleveland himself would no doubt hesi tate to enter the lists again. Bryan is against him and is fighting him tooth and nail. But then who can be true prophet in politics. Three months may turn the whole situation upside down. We shall see what we shall see.
 Negro The Alabama Consti-
 Suffrage. tuition has come before the Supreme court by the case of Jack son w. Giles of Montgomery county, who declares that he and other cOlored men are deprived of the rights of citizenship under the new consti- tuition. The constitution which was adopted in 1901 admits to the voting list men having education and regular employment or property worth $500, or war record or good character and the understanding of citizenship. Giles claims that the constitution is fraud and that the 18th amendment is violated by it. There are three regis trars in each county who pass upon the fitness of all candidates for citizenship and they are said to almost universally exclude the black men. The answer of the supreme court to Giles is that if the constitution is fraud then they cannot help him for it would only be giving him a citizenship under a fraudulent constitution and that his relief for his present difficulty lies in the courts of his own state. This is good logic but it does not help Giles very much. The fact is that many of the negroes of the South are deprived of their right to vote. Yet on the whole it would probably be better fol them to let politics alone for a while and develop their people in property and wealth. Voting is not such great thing after all. Character, as Booker T. Washington shows, is worth more tt the negro just now than political office
