arated from many of the refining, whole
some influences which prevail around the
outside of the blocks In which these alleys
are hidden The speaker said it Is very
desirable to have cultured, resourceful col
ored people give themselves in personal
service to neglected members of their own
race. He explained the work of the second
division of the conference class conducted
at the headquarters of the Associated
Charities for the purpose of enlisting and
training colored friendly visitors, savings
collectors and club and class conductors to
befriend neglected colored families.
Mrs Sarah Collins Fernandis described
the small Social Center. located at 11S NJ
street southwest, and open every night for
the colored boys and girls of the neighbor-
hood, who come to the bright room to read
magazines, play games and enjoy the COM
partnership of the residents and volunteer
workers, who are endeavoring to make the
little home a center for wholesome infiu-
ences in the neighborhood, where the chief
social centers at present appear to be the
saloons Mrs. Fernandis asked for colored
volunteers who would each give one hour
each week to helping the children in their
games, telling them stories, reading to
them or otherwise assisting in the work of
the various social groups at 11S NJ street
southwest.
Rev. Alexander c. Garner strongly in
dorsed the work. and urged his people to
give 1t their assistance. Several members
OF the congregation asked Mr.. Weller q
number of questions. and manifested an
earnest interest in the work which he
asked them to do for the upbuilding of
neglected members of the colored race.

Weller, general secretary of the Associated
Charities. who exhibited a number of stere-
opticon views showing the development of
the tubercle bacillus, the best means for its
destruction, and the modern methods of cur
ing consumption.
The extent of the preventive and con-
structive work which the Associated Chart
ties is undertaking at present is indicated
by the fact that three illustrated lectures
and four without stereopticon views are to
be given this week. One was arranged for
last evening and two will be held on Thurs
day. OF these two, one In the Peoples Con-
gregational Church on M street between 9th

Billy Goat Politics.

The following "good one" is
told by the inimitable brother
Holland, of the Greensburg Echo: ::
"We note the suggestion made
by Brother McGrath, Of the Ba-
ton Rouge Truth, in regard to a
ticket for the approaching State
election, and also the lamenta-
tions Of other "pencil pushers'
throughout the State on the same
subject matter.
"We feel upon this subject like
Gov. Bob Taylor's o'possum. A
convention had been called by the
animals to settle some matter of
Importance pertaining to the ami
NAL kingdom. After the meeting
had been organized by electing a
chairman and secretary, the ques-
tion came up as to how they
should vote. The coon rose up
and said: "Mr. Chairman, | move
that we vote by raising our tails.
The o'possum rose up with grin
of disgust upon his face and SAID:
MIR. Chairman, | oppose that mo-
ton. Mr.. Coon has long, bushy
and stripped tail, and is only seek
ing an opportunity to make an ex-
hibition Of it before this conven-
ton, while it is we'll known that
we possums are afflicted with a
black and rusty tail that is scarce
ly fit to be seen in public. And,
besides that, Mr.. Chairman, if the
motion prevails to vote by raising
of your tails, / want to say right
here that the billy goat has al
ready voted.
eff the nomination Of State
officers is to be made by a con-
vention, the nomination has al
ready been made, and we would
prefer not to make Il fool of our
self over the matter. If the press
of Louisiana will stand together
and demand that the people be
consulted about who shall rule
over them, the demands will be
regarded and something like de-
cent politics will attain in our
great State.
"Give us a primary election,
gentlemen, 'or give us death. y
But it doesn't make any differ
ence whether the nomination has
been made or not, brother Hol-
land. Let us hear from you occa-
sionally. There's no use in keep
ing your mouth shut. The odds
are against us. We have the
"butt end" of the proposition
either way. We may be fools if
we talk, but we are fools if we
don't.-Jackson Felicians.

Censtance E.ouise Renusl.

Our community was greatly shocked on
Sunday afternoon by the unexpected and sud-
den death of this estimable lady. 1t came with
lightninglike rapidity. Swept from life into
death with the velocity of an electric current.
In one moment, sitting by her husbands side,
the embodiment of health and vigor. in the
uext-a corpse.
The suddenness Of the blow but adds to it's
crushing force. The aged and loved partner
Of her bosom was not even afforded moments
warning In which to speak the last good bye.
She who had been to him all sweetness and
sunshine throughout their married life, and
was now to become the prop and solaee of his
declining years, was swiftly, aye, rudely taken
from him when her help was most needed to
emoothen and sweeten Ills declining years over
life's uneve en- Journey
This Is indeed one Of those "strokes of cal
alnity which seattle and scoreh the soul, which
penetrate to the vital scat of happiness-and
blast 1t, never again to put forth bud OF bios
SON."
All that loving hearts aud willing hands
could do was done to assuage the incOnBOlable
grief OF her aged husband. The hearts of the
entire community went ont to him. Surely it
must afford him some consolation to know that
his dearly beloved dead, gone before, was be-
loved and esteemed by the entire community;
that her death has left am0ng her friends and
aeQuaintances an aching void, which not even
Times irreverent hand can effacs. She had
been to them, as to him:
Good as she was fair;
None-nOBe on earth above her
AS pure In thought as angels are;
To know her was to love her. xxx.

Some Plain Truths.

The best element of a commu-
nifty is very commonly responsible
for the dishonesty and wrong in
their midst. There is great ten
dency to wink at wrong and dis
honesty by our best people. There
is not the proper distinction made
by the honest business world be-
tween straightforward business
men and the trickster, between
the man who honestly tries to pay
his debts and do something for
his community and one who will
dodge these things. We are too
much inclined to laugh at the
dishonest tricks of rakes unless it
becomes a personal hurt to us.
BY so doing we quietly put pre-
MUM on dishonesty and corrup-
tion and may finally become tinged
with it ourselves. If the good
people would cease to go surety
for thieves, refuse to laugh at the
account beater," withdraw from
the company of blackguards, and
require the same purity of char
acter Of men that they do of the
women, this old world would
straighten out at once.
