FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.
Rev. F. J. Prettyman Referred to Race
Problem in Discourse Last Evening.

The future of the negro was the theme
of a sermon last evening at Mt. Vernon NJ
E. Church South. by the pastor, Rev. For
rest J. Prettyman. During his discussion
of the race problem DR.. Prettyman said, in
referring to lynching. that all of the minis
tiers and members of the Methodist Church
South We're in accord with the utterances
of Bishop Gambler against lynching. The
speaker stated that education, the owner
ship of land. the dignity of labor. the elm
nation of the negro from partisan politics
and help from white leadership will operate
toward the salvation of the black man. He
said that he believed the negro has great
racial destiny upon his native shores but he
did not mean that God will not overrule the
fortunes of the American negro to his good.
as the black man in the south is the most
favored of all his race. Dr. Prettyman
stated that 1t had been unable to reach and
cultivate the best qualities of the negro
population of the south. and that these
tive qualities are many and of high order.
He referred to the high places many of
their race had achieved in almost every
sphere of human enterprise. but said the
most of these characteristics native to the
negro have been prostituted largely to po-
litical ambition.

SOMETHING DOING.
Bold Challenge by sharpshooters to
Raj. Svlvester's Crack Shots.

~.
There seems to be something doing In
the sharpshooting line was the message
received by Major Sylvester from friend
The friend had incosed clippings from
Cincinnati paper bearing on the question Of
prospective target contests between the
crack shots of Major Sylvester's force and
those under Chief Mullikin in the Ohio city
The chief of the Cincinnati police IS quoted
as having said:
Let them come on, and come fast. we
ready for the government force, or any
other department in the universe. and we ii
take them hot right off the bat, or off the
griddle either.
Accept the challenge, did you say? Wen.
watch closely. Therell be few gov
eminent coppers that will wish we hadn't
before they are through. 1t would be q
pleasure of tossing Major Sylvester's crack
team on our horns bit. There is only one
thing l fear. Well beat Sylvester so badly
that the rest of the cities will be afraid to
tackle us. That may move US to let him
down easy.
In response to the statement of the Gin
cinnat chief Major Sylvester says he thinks
Mill kin made mistake when he referred
to his (Miliikns) men sharpshooters. and
suggests that he probably meant crap
shooters. Major Sylvester says the Cincin-
natl police will be challenged Immediately
after the match with the San Francisco
police.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE.
Bus Containing Masonic Grand Lodge
Officers Struck by Electric Car.

The officers of the Grand Lodge of Ma
sons had narrow escape about 8 O'Clock
Friday night from a serious disaster. They
were on their way from the Masonic Tenn
pie, 9th and streets, in one of the Knox
Express Companys four-horse open buses
TO Tenleytown to make the annual vista
ton to William R. Singleton Lodge, No
81. When the accident occurred they had
reached point on Wisconsin avenue di-
rectly in front of the fire engine house of
Tenleytown, where the excavation for the
new water main cuts off the entire road
way from vehicles except the two tracks
of the street cars
The driver of the bus was proceeding
along the west track, when suddenly a
Rockville car was seen coming at full
speed on the down grade from Tenleytown
toward Georgetown. He Immediately whip
pea up his horses to cross to the other
track, the only way possible to avoid a
collision. 1t is said the car did not
slacken it's speed, and as the occupants of
the bus perceived this fact they began to
shout to the motorman in an effort to at
tract his attention to their dangerous pre-
dicament. He evidently did not see them.
for no sound came from his gong.
By the desperate of the whip, al
though the wheels slid along the tracks in
the effort to cross, the driver succeeded in
getting the very heavy load partly on the
adjoining track, but with great difficulty
o"iAS W the TACT tflat the rOadDed OF the
two tracks was badly plowed up by We
hicles which were compelled to pass along
one or the other of them, and the soft earth
allowed the wheels to sink in to a consid-
cradle depth. The car crashed into the
bus. striking the hub of the rear wheel
CHANGING blow, throwing the heavy load
with considerable force some distance to
one side.
The motorman was aroused to the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation just as the car
was about to strike and made vigorous eff
forts to stop its speed but it was then too
late. He explained afterward that he did
not see the bus, although the accident
occurred at what is probably the best
lighted point on the entire length of Wis
conSin avenue.
Grand Master Walker was sitting fmme-
diately over the rear wheel of the bus
and, 1t is said, had he not quickly arisen
from his seat would have been struck by
the projections of the car. The fender of
the car ard the platform were somewhat
damaged by the collision.
Although very much shaken up the Off
GERS of the Grand Lodge proceeded on their
way to the Masonic Hall at Tenleytown
and made the appointed visitation to VIII
lam K. Singleton Lodge.

Marie Cahill DEGREES High Heels.

AS a rule the public does not expect the
first step in a reform movement to be
taken by an actress, but Miss Marie Cahill,
the star of Nancy Brown who opens to-
night at the Columbia Theater, has come
out iiat-footed against high French heels
In recent interview Miss Cahiil stated
that she considered women who wore very
high heels physically and mentally simple
The actress thinks that high heels are
both unattractive and harmful. she for
bids her chorus girls to wear them on the
stage. and advises them to abandon the
altitudinous shoes for ordinary wear
Il do not see said Miss Cahil, why
any one should wear these ridiculous in
rentions of Partisan brain. The woman
who has unattractive ankle absolutely
deforms it by calling attention to her foot
through the medium of a high heel; the
woman who has pretty ankle needs no
artificial ornament to add to its attractive
ness There is nothing so beautiful as ma
ture or natural charms.
Il recently read of n Chicago woman who
was forced to have her foot amputated on
account of the injurious effects of abnor-
mally high-heel shoes, which she had worn
on account of her vanity. The same arti-
Gle made mention of many cases of women
who become physically deformed as a re-
suit of the absurd fashion.
There is something about the stride OF a
woman who wears sensible heels on her
shoes that seems to be healthful as well
graceful. She walks with natural grace
and does not seem continually fearful or
losing her balance whenever she crosses
the street.
Il have seen some women on Broadway.
New York, wearing such high heels that
their manner of walking was extremely
absurd. Some of them mad big ankles and
others small. but all were entirely rldicu-
lous They took tiny steps and must have
had a field of corns on their feet-and
don't know what else.
They walk proppy. like race horse
with three bad legs and fearful of hurting
the other Whenever they turn around
they seemed to revolve on an iron pivot
which stretched entirely through their
bodies They were continually at an angle
and apparently in pain. If high heels con-
tinue in fashion then | am going out.

Collectors Must Be Polite.

Eugene T. Chamberlain of 1902 Cincinnati
street northwest has complained to the
Commissioners that the collector of ashes
and miscellaneous refuse is neglectful and
insolent; that his front areaway is small,
and that there is no alley in rear of his
premises, and he is obliged, therefore, to
keep the receptacleS in his basement. He
claimed even that this is nearer to the
collectors cart than in many houses. He
said at the collectors last visit he was
abusive because he had to go into the house
for the refuse.
The matter was referred to the superin-
tendent of the street cleaning department.
Warner Stutler, who has reported that the
contractors attention had been called to
the complaint, and he has been directed to
notify the collector in question that all citi-
must be treated with politeneSs under
pain of SmisSal.
