Discusses Lily White Movement,

The Bethel Literary and Historical Asso-
citation. in regular meeting at the Metro
politan A. NJ. E. Church last evening, was
addressed by Mr.. L. M. Hershaw, substi-
tute for ex-Representative White, who had
been detained in North Carolina. THE
Lily White Movement" was the theme Of
his address.
Mr.. Hershaw held that the exclusion of
any class Of people from the constitutional
rights Of American citizenship simply on
the ground Of color is illegal and unjust.
He argued that the educational advantages
In Mississippi and other southern states
were less now than when the DISTINGUISHING
clauses in the constitutions Of these states
were adopted. which proved that the con-
tention that the new constitution Of every
southern state had placed a premium upon
education, intelligence. thrift and character
was fallacious. as shown by the treatment
OF the postmistress at Indianola, Miss,
who, 1t was conceded, possessed all these
necessary qualifications. but whose color
under the Lilly White" idea discounted all.
The general discussion was participated in
by Messrs. r. 8. Smith, J. c. Dent, Miss
NJ R. Bowen, ]. w. Allen and Jesse Law
son.

AS MEANS OF RELIEF.
Suggested That the District Should
Purchase Coal Mine.

A correspondent Of the District Commits
sioners has made the unique suggestion that
the local authorities purchase coal mine
as a means Of relieving the fuel famine In
this city. He goes even further than this
and states that he has mine which he
will sell to the Commissioners for two and
a quarter millions Of dollars.
The correspondent is civil engineer Of
Philadelphia. who states that his specialties
are mines. mining, mining properties and
railroads. His letter to the authorities was
called forth by his reading in the newspa-
pers Of a plan of a Washington citizens
committee to purchase coal direct from the
mines and sell it to the people without
profit III --cri
"Washington can avoid future difficulties
Of this kind. If 1t Wishes" writes the civil
engineer. "by purchasing at the present
time coal lands that are now available at a
price that will be productiveQof much profit

Homeless and Friendless.

Almost blind and homeless and without
friends, in a strange city, John Ball. COL
ored, bent with the age Of seventy years,
appeared in the dock of the lower branch
of the Police Court this morning to answer
to a charge of vagrancy. His story is the
same as has been often told there-too Old
to work and Of no further use he was cast
adrift to look out for himself.
Policeman Beauregard recited to the
court that he found Ball wandering around
the streets near the corner of 9th and G
streets northwest about 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. His story as related to the off,
Ger was that he had been employed on a
farm near Murkirk, Md. and that he had
been sent here for treatment in a hospital
because. his eyesight failed him recently,
and that he arrived here yesterday after
noon without money and no place to go,
After listening attentively to the officer
Judge Scott decided that the only thing he
could do was to send the man to the farm
and he imposed a fine of $40. with thirty
days as the equivalent, and directed that
he be given hospital treatment on arriving
at the institution.
