THE GREATEST NEGRO.

There is difference of opinion as to the
greatest negro born in the South in an
hundred years. Some days ago the Sails
bury Sun declared that, the late Rev.
Joseph C. Price was greater negro than
Booker Washington, and President Goler,
of Livingston College, writing to the Sun,
says:
Truly the South has produced no col
ored man his equal in breadth of intel
lcct, earnestness of effort, modesty of
manners and loftiness of character
Booker Washingtons father was white
man-so he says in his interesting book
up From Slavery Price was of pure
African blood, without mixture with any
other race. Price was incomparably the
most eloquent negro the South has pro-
duced. a.lhs23.ai

TRIAL OF YOUNG

The Prisoner Had to Be Car

The Question of Mormonism At
tempted to Be Introduced Into the
Trial of the Alleged Murderer of
Mrs. Pulitzer.

New York February 4.-The, trial
of William Hooper Young for the
murder of Mrs Anna Pulitzer. was
begun before Judge Herrick today af-
ter the justice had refused to grant
a postponement at the request of the
prisoners counsel. The warden oi the
Tombs at first declined to permit
Young to be taken to court on the
ground that the latter was i'll.
The judge finally ordered the ac-
cused man brought into the court.
When lie appeared Young was in a
pitiable condition. His face was ashen
white, mis- hair and beard long ana his
eyes rolling. He collapsed when piac-
ed in the chair and then strengthening
up he made an attempt to address the
court saying: I'm not crazy now
He was silenced and conference
was held between the court and coun-
sci when it was decided that the pris-
oner should be examined by two physi-
Glars. When recess was called Young
either could not or would not walk and
had to be carried from the court room.
The physicians examined Young
during recess and reported to Justice
Herr.ck in his private room that the
stress OF the trial would not hurt the
accused physically.
Young was therefore carried into
court and Justice Herrick having TAX
en mis- seat the examination Of the
talesmen commenced. Counsel for
the prisoner asked the first few
talesmen if they had any prejudice
against the Mormon church but de
sisted when District Attorney Jerome
said: There is nothing i'm this case
about Mormonism. We don't make any
such claim"
When the court adjourned three

ne had not raised out OF his chair just
as it was fired and retreated to an ad

view in the light of another lamp in

response save from one OF the MeXi-

Mr.. Turnbull called to her to come
away from the window lest they shoot
her too.
She and Frank Goddard then devoted
their attention to G. T.. Goddard who
had craWled to u couch in an adjoining
room and was bleeding internally and
in great pain. He wanted hot cloths
but they could not be procured with
out those in the house exposing them
selves to the Workmanship Of the mur-

| About midnight c. F. Goddard realized
that he was mortally wounded and SO

time had taken up his position at a
window in the bedroom and armed
with shotgun watched all night long

the MeXicans but it never came.
