YACHTSMEN ASKED TO
A NEGRO DINNER
Larchmont's Wealthy Resi-
dents Invited to Feast.

LARCHMONT, y. Y. Feb. 16.-Many
of the wealthy yachtsmen and other resi-
dents OF Larchmont have been surprised
TO receive invitations TO attend a big
dinner to be given by Tom Harris, the
weaIthiest negro In town. at the Point
View Hotel on next Wednesday night.
The feast, which is 20 be held under
the auspices or the Circle Club. Of
which Harris is a leading member is
for the purpose or launching his boom
for tax receiver. II is 10 consist OF an
elaborate menu, with ragtime music be-
tween the courses. Preparations are
being made to entertain at least a hun
dred guests.
Harris has invited Village President
Campbell. Chief Bronson. Supervisor
Hardy. Augustin Munroe. chairman Of
the house committee Of the Larchuiont
Yacht Club; Eugene b. Sanger. John F.
Baudouine. Edward J. Greceant. Jacob
Rupert, jr.. Frank Fullgraft, and scores
OF other prominent men.
Some OF the yachtsmen have declined
invitations owing to the fact that the
annual beefsteak dinner of the Larch-
mont Yacht Club occurs on the same
night.
The ofice OF tax receiver pays about
$1,000 a year and he collects about $50. 900
in taxes. Harris is not in need OF the
salary. as ne owns the biggest livery
stable in town and has a monopoly on
most OF the work OF the Larchmont
Yacht Club. but he declares he is in the
fight for the honor here is in A..
Larchmont has many intense South
erners who DO not take kindly to the
candidacy OF a negro and they are pre-
pairing to oppose and beat him.
The negro bases his claim for the Office
on the fact that he Is an old resident
OF Larchmont- He came here twenty
years ago as n bell boy in the old Manor
House. and afterward embarked in the
express and livery business. in which he
has made $4,000.
There are some people who have
lived here only 4 few years" said Harris
today. yet they think that all or our
local Offices should be handed TO them
on a silver platter. l think 1t is about
time that these fellows stood aside 2
little and gave some OF US older resi-
dents a chance. II I go into this fight
you can put your money on me. because
l will win.

They Shake Hands After
Bouts, Declares Rabbi.

PITTsBURG. Feb. 16.-The friendly
feeling that exists among pugilists OF the
present day was compared with the dis
sensions noticeable among intellectual
religious men by The Rev. J. Leonard
Levy, rabbi OF the Reform Congregation
Rodeph Shalom. IA a lecture today on
The Future OF Religion" DR.. Levy
said
Nature hates similarity as much as
she abhOrs vacuum. A dead level OF
belief is as undesirable as II the earth
were suddenly converted into one series
or mountain ranges There viii always be
different modes OF expressing the same
idea and different ways OF setting forth
the same opinion. A law is a law and A
truth is a truth. and. the time will come
when all men will recognize the truths
OF religion as they now recognize GER
tain scientific truths.
The future or religion will be such
that amid the widest diversity OF express
sion there viii be the greatest frieldH-
ness Pugilists fight and shake hands
after their bout. Intellectual men. re-
lgious people, will certainly rise above
that state OF feeling which even a
pugilist has already reached. Religion
Will join, and not sever. for those whom
God has joined man shall not part
When the last man is dead, then only

II therefore behOoves the supporters OF
religion to be wary and cautious OF the
