lasted two minutes. The FiuDle Caldo,
stream near Mount Etna, became
turbid and the temperature Of the water
rose to ~.
Mount Vesuvius is again in eruption,
its present activity being considered to

grounds another line Jim Crows it's
passengers at its own sweet will and
we have no recourse.
Yet the very cream of the whole
country's colored population is right
here in the District. They are all hon
orable, upright, reputable citizens, a
credit to any community, and it would
seem that if this demon of unholy pre-
judice is ever to relax it's firm hold
upon the minds of the whites of the
land here would be found the colored
men and women most worthy to re-
ceive fair and equal treatment
1t occurs to us that something has
got to happen of a very serious nature
before these white people come to
their senses, that there is going TO be
a very rude awakening some day
What will it be? Are we not a trifle
too submissive, and do not the whites
take that fact into account in their
heartless and ungrateful attitude to-
wards our people, who in the sweat of
their brows have made so large a
portion of the land to blossom as a
rose?
We are confident Wildwood will
have to go as all other unlawful places
should go, but at the same time we
must not overlook the real sentiments

us.

THE GHOST OF PREJUDICE.

The proprietors of Wildwood, dis
reputable resort out on the northern
border of the District of Columbia,
devoted to gambling and other unlaw-
full practices, have aroused the indig-
nation of the good people of Takoma
Park, who are determined that the
piace shall be closed. This determine
ton is met by a threat" from the
Droprietors that if made to close they
will rent the place this summer to col
ored people for picnics and other out
of-door amusements. This threat was
expected to fetch the people and the
authorities at once. 1t was an appeal
to their prejudices. There was neither
reason nor justice in it. but 1T was a
clear bold assertion that even law
abiding citizens would prefer a gam
ding iniquity to the proximity OF
colored picnic party, however orderly
and innocent.
It is food for deep thought indeed,
when one reflects how, even at the
capital of the Nation, the lines are
tightening against our people. 1t is
almost impossible to rent a decent
house. the suburban re or t S
take pains to exclude us from the en-
ioyment of their privileges, every ave
nue. of honorable employment, save the
hardest kind of manual labor, is
closed to us, right in the shadow OF

WIN TITLE BY
A HARD FIGHT
Mr.. and Mrs. EIston Take the
Mixed Tennis Doubles
Match.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Elston yester-
day. on the Beretania Court, Won the
finals in the tennis games, and as a
result took the mixed doubles cham
pionship of the islands.
1t was a hard game. and the win
ners took their laurels only after such
a contest as showed their skill and
power of endurance. 1t is remarkable
that the game as played shows that
the Beretania club has won almost
every match during the spring tourna-
ments
The first sett was the hardest of the
match. The score went from deuce to
vantage twice before Mr. and Mrs.
EIston made it possible for them to
win, by settling down and taking two
games in succession. The score at
the end was nine to seven, and such
a result was not reached at any sub
sequent time
The next two sets were won by Mr..
Cunha and Miss Ward, by As and 2-6,
but they could not hold their gait and
the next two in succession went to
Mr.. and Mrs. Elston by 6-3 and g.
a;The games were won only by consist
'ent tennis, and it seems really pity
that the winners of this tournament
will be absent from the islands for at
least 3 years, for they would be able
to make good play on all sides.

HOME OF CASHMERE sHAwLs.
There Is Not Enough Demand for the
 ; Industry to Keep Workers Employed.

A New Yorker who is, now living in Shadipore, India, in the vale of Cash mere, the home of the beautiful Cash mere shawl, gives melancholy ac- count of the tdecline of great and famous induAsfY, These rare and costly shawis, which lwere so much prized in the days of our grandmothers and handed down as heirloms from mother to daughter, ale still made in Cashmere, but their glory has departed, and the cheap and seductive anilfne dye has Misplaced the soft and beautiful color ings in the old4fime vegetable dyes, says the New York Tribune.
 The men who understand their ma nipulation have gone to more lucrative fields, or else they lie in, humble grave yards hard by the struggling village streets, and the. wild iris clothes their resting places With colors far more deli- cate than anyathey ever mixed.
 The Cashmere shawl industry re- ceived it's death blow during the Fran co-Prussian war, at the breaking up of the French court, The shawls were brought to France for the great Ma poleon, and fashion imm ediately set her seal upon them But when the court of Napoleon III. erumbled in the dust the vogue of the Cashmere shawl fell with 1t, and famine and distress invaded the far-away valleys of Cashmere.

ton of the reform may be humane, but its realization as such is questionable.
 But two other of the reforms which are specified in the czar's decree are undoubtedly a tremendous step in the direction of reform. Castigation of prisoners with cudgels and oatso' nine. tails, and chaining to the car are to cease, if the orders of the Russian ruler are obeyed We may read graphic descriptions of what these punishments meant, but it is doubtful if we could begin to realize all the horrors unless we witnessed the, wield- ing of the cudge1 or the "cat' inf the hands of brutal Russian soldier, while the salf-starved, disease-raoked prisoner tainted under the blows and .crimsoned the ground with the blood which gushed from the ragged wounds. When a wel-known literary man had been talking with MT. Ken nan soon after his return from Siberia and had listened to some of the hor- TOTS of that land he declared: ''I have been talking with g man who has seen hell And the inf1iction of these pun ishments was bit of the hell which MT. Kennan had seen and which are now to be abolished
 But in abolishing these punishments a substitute for them has been found in prolongation of imprisonment or in solitary confinement up to 100 days, with bread and water, except every third day, when hot food will be served at one meal And the revised statute of June 15 prescribes chastisement with birch rods up to 100 blows flor slight offenses and misdemeanors."
 So much for the latest prison re- forms. In domestic reforms, Russia is also making progress A new law has been promulgated giving factory en- ployes the right to appoint delegates from their coworkers to represent their interests in conferences with the factory inspectors. And further, it is said that the plan for the formation of a new police force to maintain order and assure security in the rural dis tricts of 46 provinces of European Russia will be carried out immediate ly in IS of these provinces. Thus Rus sia is yielding to the advancement of more humane and enlightened im- pulses, and the Russia which Kennan visited, is not the Russia of to-day ' e-a~4 MAX OWEN.

Magnetic Persons.

Prof. Murani, distinguished Italian scientist, says that certain persons pos sess a strange magnetic or electrical in- fue.2se, which produces very curious re- suits. A few days ago while he was at work on some electrical experiment, one of his friends suddenly entered the room, and at the same moment the needle of his gasyanometer moved to and fro very rapidly. He was sure that his friend had in one of his pockets either a magnet or some otker elec- trical instrument, and, in order tO con- vince him that he was mistaken, his friend removed all his clothes. To the professors surprise, the galvanometer continued to act just as though pow erful magnet was near 1t, and the closer his friend approached the more marked it's action became. Moreover, the front of the body acted on it in the same man. ner as the positive pole of magnet, and the back as negative pole.

IS BECOMING HUMANE
The Russian Government Treating
 Convicts More Considerably.
Hardest Remnants of the Barbarie Punishments of Former Times
 Have Been Discontinued by Order of the Cxar.

. The American reader who has been disappointed and yet not surprised at the refusal of the Russian government to receive the B'nai B'nith petition in connection with the KishineH massa- cres, will be interested and gratifed with the information which comes from the land of oppression that the czar has taken another step in the di- rection of reform and more humane treatment of it's prisoners and exiles, and has abolished the hardest rem nants of the barbaric punishments of former times. It is 15 years since the revelations of the awfulness of the ex- tle system in Siberia were made by MT. Kennan, but the profound impress sion made upon the public mind in this country has not yet been effaced, so that every seeming advance which Russia has taken in the direction of reducing the evils of the exile system since then, has been particula arly: noted If Mn Kennan were to visit Russia and Siberia to-day, that is if the or ders of the czar are faithfully carried out by the subordinate officials (and there is always the question in the mind of the American whether the re forms which are ordered get any fur ther than the printed documents and the official seaD, he would no longer be able to see among the marching columns of unfortunte exiles as they dragged their weary way over the long, hard roads for hundreds and thousands of miles to the distant town or mine, the grotesquely hideous, half-shaven head of those who had committed cer- tain offenses. The czar has decreed that this practice shall be discon- tinued, and instead the term of exile shall be increased. But it is ques> tion in the minds of a good many Americans whether the shaven head. though humiliating and hideous, would not be preferable to longer sojourn in the land of hellish horrors.

BANKRUPT SALE, 63 East Main Street

5naulpore, wnIcn was once one Of the centers of the Cashmere shawl indus try. is beautifully located in a valley at the junction of the Sind and Jhelum rivers. Numerous herds of cattle find rich pasturage on the surrounding hials. and the giant chenar, the glory of Cash mere, makes the valley look like a park. But the village has shrunk to. a mere hamlet of rickety houses. and the luxuriant vegetation falls to cover it's baroness and poverty. What Is left of the shawl industry is carried on by boys and men, who earn from two to eight annas day.. or from four to eight cents, in American coinage. For this beggarly sum they sit alllday long at the looms. which are almost as for ,lorn as themselves ins appearance, for they date back to the days of prosper ity and are held together by generous use of string.
 There is just enough demand for the shawls to keep the industry alive. Rich Cashmerians like to wear Cashmere shawls, and also employ them as draperies, and few find their way to Central Asia and Tibet.
