THE LATEST IN CORSETS.

The latest thing in corsets is a man.
According to reports from some of the
leading tailors it is getting to be quite
the thlng for the up-to-date man who
is particular about his figure, to wear
cOrSetS.
And the idea is not such a bad one
after all, for it is very plain to the
most casual observer that he. figures of
some of the men we meet are not en-
urely ideal, and that the artistic effect.
at least, would not be lessened by Civ
Ing a little more attention to the
shape.
Just what the leading STYLES will he
tn1S spring is not definitely known at
this writing, but the 'R & G. Straight
Front is an excellent seller, as is also
the Lath Rib" waist for youths and
boys. ThlS latter is a particularly good
artlcle, being made of heavy canvass
and Iaths, and is therefore, non-rust-
Ing. One of the novelties which will
commend itself especially to athletes
and to all who wish perfect freedom of
movement and at the same time to pre-
serve their graceful contour. is the
"F1tchuclose," which is made of elas-
tic webbing and has no hooks, laces,
clasps or steels the only attachments
being the little pieces of rope by which
it is secured on the left side.
These are to be had in all colors to
match the prevailing styles of shirt
waists. The American Gentleman" is
also sold quite extensively, but is said
to be unhyglenic. But for an all
around serviceable article the "Lath
Rib" is undoubtedly the best mascu-
line corset on the market And while
it lacks the frills and furbelows of
some of the more stylish garments,
yet is is a dead sure thing where util-
ity is desired and is especially recon-
mended to all who are compelled to
keep very late hour and who from that
reason develop a tendency to sag at
the middle. A. G. D.

THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF
THE AGE

Much comment has been occasioned
by the announcement that a chemist
had discovered a combination that
would decolorize the black pigment in
the skin and cause the blacklist skin
to change into the clearest white, with
out injuring the person the least.
1t is well known that the sundraws
the pigment to the surface and pro-
duces freckles and tan and that acids
are used to restore the whiteness to
the skin. Plants, cloth, feathers, in
fact anything can be bleached, why
not the human skin?
This clever chemist, DR.. J. A. Her
lihy, trained in the New York College
of Pharmacy, while experimenting in
his laboratory accidentally discovered
that by mixing several substances, the
pigment of the skin could be decolor-
lied and changed into a pearly white.
In order to give the readers of The
Colored American a chance to try this
wonderful discovery which has been
named Black-No, More, the price has
been placed at 81, if the order is sent
in before May Goth. Cut out the ad-
vertisement on the last page of this
issue and enclose one dollar IN stamps,
currency, or money order and send to

THE REAL NEGRO QUESTION.

At the memorial service to the late
DR.. J. L. M. Curry, held in Richmond,
on Sunday night, the News Dispatch
saws that mot a single Negro was
present. and it added that this was
remarkable, inasmuch as DIR. Curry de-
voted the last thirty years of his life
to the education and improvement of
the Negro race.
The Negroes were absent, IT is saIe
to say, not because they do not respect
tbe memory of their benefactor, but
because they knew they would not be
welcome at the services, conducted in
a "white church" by white people.
They were kept away by what Mr..
Cleveland excuses as racial instinct,
which is simply euphemism for race
prejudice And this touches the real
plexus of the Negro question at the
South-Baltimor American.

THE NEGRO SOLDIER.

The Negro soldier holds, with pride,
His record, past. If naught beside
Is left to him of manly worth
In this the fair land of his birth,
Than the Great Deed" CT Boston's
street
When the Lion" crouched at Negro
feet
And Attuck'h blood baptized the land;
He we'll might on this one deed stand.
But no. This one deed is not all,
UnOn which Negro soldiers call.
In Concord fight, on Salem's Plain,
At Valley Forge and yet again,
Al New Orleans he stopped the foe.
Where e'er hot battle-freS glow,
When e'er ills, threat COlumbia's veal,
He marches, swift, with conquering
zeal.
When Uncle Sam,'' weak from defeat,
Was trembling, in his sovereign seat
And fearful. lest the Starry Flag,
ShouId. in the mire, be made to drag;
The Negro soldier took the sword
And marched against his formere lord.
His deeds OF valCr lit the sky,
And raised Columbia's banner, high
Nor land. alone, his prOwess sees
His vaIOr shines forth on the seas.
He wields the cutlass, plies the oar
Or trims the mast mid battles roar.
Honest commanders, frequent tell,
That Negroes fight like impS from
hell"
Whoever this proved truth denies,
We tell him in his throat, HE lies!"
Forget ye, when close hemmed
around,
The Seventh" early death had found,
Had not black warriors heard then
cry
And caused the Red-hued fee to fly?
Forget ye, how when Bagley died,
Black Tunnel lay, close, by his side,
Or later how on San Juans Height
The Negro troops helped win the
fight?
O. God, Let not the land forget
The Black mans past, nor the great
debt!
The Southland, ever, owns, the truth,
OF how Black men, in fearful ruth,
Like angered lions, from their lair,
Might we'll have laid their hearth
stone bare!
All hearts must yield this truth a
place,
They proved themselves a noble
race"
Fer since the day by freedom blessed,
Though oft IN fearful straits, dis
tressed,
He hath marched on, with hopes built
high
And faith, firm, fixed on God, Most
High.
Like ocean drops which emulate
Their kind, whatever be its state,
SO hath he tracked the ruling race,
And followed, close, with flagless pace
Do Anglo-SaXons climb yen hill
Or delve in caverns, deep and still?
The Negro climbs the roughened
height,
Or gropes, where dwells perpetual
night.
This emulation stirs the wrath
OF, who would keep him from the path
OF fullest growth. The wrath is vain!
Move on he will, since God doth reign.
