It is delicate question to handle; but the fascination of the black man for the untraveled and inexperienced Englishwoman is inexplicable to one who knows what the black really is.
 In the southern states of America, believe, and in South Africa also, un- derstand, it is penal offense for a white woman to be even seen talking to a black man: while, personally speaking, consider that the white wo- man who can degrade herself to mar riage with a colored person places her. self outside the pale of decent hufnani- ty.
 There is one satisfaction, and that is that her punishment is swift, sure and unerring. As colored bishop once said to me, Tt is violation of the laws of nature which is bound to end in disas- ter"
 However much the sentimentalist may deplore the statement, the fact re- mains that the black. on close and in- innate acquaintance, in the mass wins neither the liking nor the respect of the white man. That is, be it understood, when he claims equality.
 As a soldier, as a servant. he is un- approachable; our colored soldiers are the glory of our empire; the negro or the Hindu servant is the most charming and the most faithful being on this earth.
 But the white man rules by virtue of his superiority, and the British empire is based on the unswerving assumption of this fact.-London Express.

 Hartford, March 12.-Upon the favor able report of the committee on incor- porations the resolution incorporating the Annex fire department (New Ha- ven) was to-day passed by the house without opposition.
 The resolution increasing the capital stock of the New Haven Gas Light company from the same committee met with opposition. After MT. Alcorn, the house chairman of the committee, had explained that the company required this increase in it's capital stock to eX- tend it's plant Representative Donovan, of Norwalk, objected to the passage of the resolution. He said the people were continually giving away valuable fran- chises to corpora tions without provid- ing any safeguards to the interested public. He said that the right of the state to regulate the price of gas and the absence of any provision in that re- spect in the commit tees report should not he lost sight of in the house. He said that in any case the proposed cap ital stock of the company was out of all proportion to the capital stock of the Hartford company, and he did not believe in permitting the proposed in- crease without restrictions.
 Representative Chatfield, of New Ha- ven, said that the New Haven Gas Light company was one of the most liberal institutions of similar character in the state, He said the company was charging $1 for 1000 feet of Illuminating gas, and it desired the increase in it's capital stock to make extensions of it's pipe lines, and to develop it's plant for

Supposed Dead Man Returns
to His Georgia Home.

GRIFFIN, Ga, Sept. 14.-John w.
Reid, whose supposed grave has been
kept green for twenty years by MOURN
ing relatives, has returned to his old
home alive and well. Reid belongs to
one Of the wealthiest families in the
state, and he himself owned a large
fortune at the time of his supposed
death and burial twenty years ago. His
case outrivaled Rip Van Wrinkle in hu-
man interest and pathos.
When a young man Reid was mar
r1ed to one of the fairest daughters of
the state, but they separated, and Reid
went West over thirty years ago.
Shortly after Reds departure his wife
secured divorce and married again.
She is still living, with several children,
one of them by Reid
Ten years after Reid's departure for
the West dispatch came to his rela-
tives here that he had been killed In a
fight in Texas, and his supposed re-
mains were brought to Griffin and in
tered In the family burial ground. It
is said that the casket was opened and
the body identified as that of Jack"
Reid. His relatives mourned his death,
and a women, claiming to be Reid's sec
ond wife, came from Texas with the re-
mains, and wept at the funeral The
larger part OF Reds wealth went to
this woman, who returned to the West.
Last night J. w. Reid returned in the
flesh. He Is aged and bent, but he Is
John Reid, and his friends admit the
truthfulness of his assertion that the
body resting IN the city cemetery is
that Of an unknown man. Reid claims
to have been living in Central and
South America for many years pazt.
and has, accumulated and lost a large
fortune. He left Lima. Peru, nine
weeks ago, and reached his old home
last night. He has sister living IN
Griffin, Mrs. Charles G.. Mills. When
asked about the fraud perpetrated upon
his relatives In sending the remains OF
another, pretending they were his. he
replied that he knew Of the circum-
stances, but would not give his reasons
for allowing the deception.

Thirteen Couples Fail to Marry
on Steamer.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-"Was it BASH
fulness or the thirteen hScdoo that
was responsible" ?"
This is what the 1--embers Of Sedg-
wick court, No. 33, United Order Of
Foresters, are asking themselves. The
question grew out of s. novel expert
ment made by the court yesterday
during its excursion to South Haven
on the Eastland.
The members of the court had hoped
to witness the marriage Of thirteen
young couples in midlake and had
made preparations accordingly. So
when they reached the docks of the
steamship line at the Wells street
bridge they had several bushels of rice
and several dozen pairs of old shoes
secreted about them. A justice of the
peace was on hand and everything
was in readiness for the marriages
as soon as the steamer reached mid
lake.
But the prospective brides and
grooms failed to appear. Before the
steamer cast off the members of the
court made still hunt for the young
people they had expected would avail
themselves of the opportunity the
court had offered in advertising it
would pay the wedding expenses of
thirteen couples if they would consent
to have the marriage ceremony per-
formed on board the Eastland.
One of the Foresters approached
young couple on the upper deck.
DO you want to get married." he
asked.
"Sir!" the young woman began as
she turned scarlet.
Her escort sprang to his feet and the
Forester made a dive down the COM
panionway.
Other members of the court were
equally unsuccessmul. One couple,
indeed, consented to have the marriage
ceremony performed on board the
Eastland. but they had already an
nounced their intention to do so.
They were Walter R. Ransom and
Miss Matilda Peterson, of Evanston.
When the search for the twelve
other couples was given up the MEM

HANGS HIMSELF
IN FLOODED FIELD
Young Bloomington Farmer
MadeDesperate by the Ruin
of Crops by Rain.


Because his crops were seriously in
jured by rain, Joseph Hazel, a farmer
residing near Bloomington, eight miles
out of Minneapolis, committed suicide
Sunday night by hanging himself to a
tree. He sought a spot in the center
of his fields where the rain had done
great damage. His life1ess body was
found yesterday by his father.
Hazel left his home Sunday evening.
His family had noticed that he was
Respondent, and when he failed to re-
turn home they were greatly worried
about him. Searching parties were sent
out, but he could not be found. On ac-
count of the darkness the search was
abandoned, but as soon as daylight
came again the search was resumed.
One of the parties, led by the elder
Hazel, went to the fields and found the
man hanging from the limb of a tree.
The coroner was notified and til
gated the case. No inquest will be
held.
Hazel was twenty-nine years Of age
and was married. Besides his wife, he
leaves one child. He was well-to do
and owned large farm.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Sept. IA. - President
Hall, of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad company, sent in to-
day his resignation to the board of di-
rectors. It will be acted upon at a
meeting Of the board, to be held here
Saturday The announcement does not
come as a surprise. The chief reason
for his retirement is that he is not a
practical railroad man.
President Mellen, of the Northern Pa.
cific, will succeed Mr.. Hall. Mr.. Mellen
has always represented the Morgan In
terests in the Northern Pacific, and he
would represent the same interests
with the New York, New Haven &
Hartford. He was once vice president
of the road. Mr.. Meller arrived in
town tonight. He will resign at this
weeks meeting of the Northern Pacific.
1t was said on the highest authority
tonight that r. B. Underwood, presi-
dent of the Erie system, will be offered
the presidency of the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Underwood,s friends say that he
has long desired to occupy one of the
Ugh offices on Mr.. Hills roads. Should
the position be offered him railroad
men believe there will be no hesitancy
on Mr.. Underwood's part in accept
ing it.

ANTI NEGRO MOVE BURIED FOR ANOTHER
Carmack VIII Offer Bill to Re.
peal Fifteenth Amendment.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 14.-From
the standpoint of Southern interest the
forthcoming session of congress prob
ably will be the most memorable since
the Louisiana returning board discus
sion for determining the Tilden-H Hayes
election contest, or since the vividly
remembered tilt in the senate between
tactful and resourceful Lamar, of Mis-
sissippi, and the eloquent Conkling, of
New York.
Edward w. Carmack, the Junior rep
reSentatiye of Tennessee, in the upper
branch of the national congress, is to
be the creator and forceful leader of
this newborn interest in congression-
al proceedings.
In the next congress this young ex-
ponent of Southern Democracy will in
troduce a bill in the senate for the re-
peal Of the fifteenth amendment of the
federal constitution, which provides
that there shall be no discrimination
against citizens of the United States
because of color, religion, or previous
condition of servitude. In a word, Sem
ator CarmacB would contribute toward
the permane 1t solution of the vexing
negro questi' as 1t is presented to the
Southern states by eliminating the en-
franchised negroes as a political factor.
This bill of Senator Carmack's will be
supported by every Southern repre-
sentative in congress and not a few
members from those sections of the
Union where the colored man is treat
ed more as an incident than a prob
lem to be dealt with as legislative
thought would deal with a serious and
menacing complication.
Senator Carmack will not introduce
his bill in the hope of getting it en-
acted into the federal statutes any time
soon, for he suspects that defeat will
meet such efforts for years to come,
but for the purpose of precipitating
discussion. Senator Carmack favors
the separation of the races and the
ultimate deportation Of the negro from
this country. Where he shall be sent
he is not prepared to say, leaving that
question for the wise consideration OF
the future
