New York, June 11.-At the third

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., spoke on
the negro question.
DR.. Dixon, talking on the negro
question, said in part: Race preju-

thing; this is the prejudice which
proceeds from fear of another races
superior powers or abilities. Such is
the prejudice against the Jew. 1t
exists simply because the Jewish race
is the most persistent, powerful com.

world has ever produced. Thousands
Of them have been assimilated by
America, and thousands more will
be assimilated.
The prejudice against the negro

A remarkable instance Of the rapid
G. tinctiou OF an Indian tribe is that
c tie Pawnees. who were removed to
lahoma from Nebraska in 1876, sigys
a. official Of the Office OF Indian az
f-irs. AT the time Of their removal
from Nebraska the tribe numbered
$500 souls Today there are less than
500 The I Tawnees were given excep-
tionally good allotments in Oklahoma.
The climate Is practically the same
as that OF their former home, and, in
fact, everything has been done by the
governmen. to promote their welfare
and happiness
For some unaccountable reason they
have sickened and died, until the day
is not far distant when the Pawnee
tribe will be extinct The mortality
among them has been growing steadily
year by year. In 1882. six years after
their removal to Oklahoma, the tribe
had shrunk to $40, and the census Of
1900 showed but 500 living Pawnees.
It is a curious thing that the child.

malady attacks them and they APP
