Under Which Law?

Several days ago We made reference to
a critical situation In the negro settle
ment Of New Guinea, near Springfield,
Mass This settlement, as was stated OF
the time, is made up Of thriftless negroes
who refused to send their children to
school. It was finally decided to estab-
lish a school for the special benefit Of the
New Guinea negro children, and q negro
woman was engaged to teach the school.
But the negroes refused to patronize the
school on the grounds that it was a dis
elimination to have a. separate school
for their children. The school trustees
were in doubt as to what course to pur-
sue, but finally decided to send White
children also to the New Guinea school,
and It was ordered that all children of
the school age below the fifth grade IN
New Guinea and In the noghborhood
should attend this school.
The negroes no longer objected. but
objection now comes from .athe whites,
who declare that they, will not permit
their children to be taught by q negro
woman.
AS attendance to school in Nnssachu-
sets Is compulsory, It is not clear now
the problem will be solved. VIII the
parents Of white children obey the law

Ones Prescription.

The question as 10 whom a prescription

filled 1t, or to the purchaser, Is up once
mere befo-e 4 New York court
This Is a question which the abls and
!oquac!ous leisure class that frequent
drug stores have discussed for ages past.
In Richmond, the custom Is. we be.
lievc, for the druggist to retain the pro-
scrpton, but to giv,s the person offer
ing ii TO be filled copy, If requested.
THE argument advanced in support of
this course is that the druggist may
need the original rs a measure Of self
protection. There would app.ar to be
much reason in that view. because some
,aedIcai practitioners have been known

scr!ptions Instances where they have
done so cal be readily recalled by many

Tlle SUFFRAGE,

A special from Baltimore says that IN
the inner circles of tho MARYLAND Do
,nocracy plans are browinB TO caftS out
tho anti.election pledge Of negro dis
franclIseincnt. 1t Is further said that
the Virginia Constitution scents to fur-
,isl, the material most approved by the
Democrats for Use In framing s,,cl, cuff
frage amendments desired by them for
Tie. State. This, says the correspondents
Is partly because Virginia was Tie last
Of the Southern states TO act. and fer
law-makers had the experience Of their
sister States to Guide them and also be-
cuuse conditions III virginia more closely
approach those in Maryland.
we believe that the Democrats OF Mary
land will make no mistake to adopt the
virginia plnn, for It has operated nd
nlirably here Under It, the objectionnble
negroes liava been excluded from the sui
frage, and ali negroes who have any
business to voto are admitted. we DO
lieve that tho law has been administer
ed with entire fairness to the negro IN
der the temporary understanding clause
It was largely III the power Of the reg
istrars to admit whom they would, and
exclude whom, they would, with this
provlse that they must admit every negro
who paid rs much as ono dollar year
III taxes to the state. Iii this way the
thrifty negroes were registered, while
those who we're ignorant and shlfuess
wero excluded.
Tho Virginia electorate has been thor
oughly purged. and wo have rldded our
selves Of nuisance menace and q
source Of corruption and evil. It was
the best that could be dono under the
circumstances, and the task was well
done.
Hereafter there will be q straightout
educational test, and there will be no
discrimination against the negro.

A GAME QUERY.
Can a Man Eat One Partridge a
Day for Thirty Days?

Editor OF The Times-Dispatc h:
% Sir.-Iu conversation recently the talk
was Of wild game. particularly OF part
ridges, OF quail, made the assertion
that a person could not cat thirty part
ridges In thirty consecutive days. MIR.
James Fl. McGavock, OF Fort Chiswel!.
Wythe county assured me that he couid.
i told him that some sporting frater-
nifty had standing offer OF thous-
and dollars to any ono that would eat
thirty cartridges In thirty days. / was
unable, however, to furnish Mr.. Mccia-
vocls any specific information as to what
fraternity or organization had made tins
offer, ,or any reliable Information at all
pertaining to the offer.
Mr., McGavocls insisted that he could
not only eat thirty cartridges In thirty
days, and thus win the $1,000, but that
he would bet any man $1,000 that ne
could accomplish the feat,
Now. I have heard all my life that
some sporting fraternity has this stand
Ing offer, Atathe same time have only
heard it lin a general way, and hence
cannot In any way avouch Its authen-
ticity. Indeed, I should have dropped
the matter and not bothered you with e,

A Lesson From Nature.

Nature Is our great teacher, and We
may learn many valuable lessons from
her II we 20 to her school In q spirit Of
willingness. Nature teaches us beautiful
lessons in the divine grace Of giving.
.rhe sun gives It light and heat without
stint, and without asking anything In re-
turn; the clouds give their rain to the
unjust as we'll as to the Just; the soil
gives its fruits, returning to every man
who tllls 1t that which he asks for; the
trees give their shade; the flowers give
their perfume; the mines give their gold
and silver and precious stones Ask what
you will. Mother Earth gives generously

In Richmond, the snatch thief finds op-
portunlty to fill his pockets. a.
The Baltimore Herald says 'as long as
the women continue to carry bags con-
tanning money and jewelry. swinging
them as they walk, SO long will the
temptation to rob be strong" Correct!
But that presupposes THAT the women
have pockets in their dresses, which they
might uss, when they. haven't, It isn't
the fashion, 1t seems.
Viewed from masculine standpoint
there is no good and sufficient reason
why women should not provide them
selves with pockets large enough, at
least, to hold the money they possess
They must do SO, or else take tho risk
of being robbed. No city has a police
force large enough to suppress, alto
gether, the operations Of snatch thieves
when so many streets are crowded, as
now, with shoppers,
