NEGROs CASE FOR HIS RACE.
Prof. Miller OF Howard University stirs
ConEregatiOnal Pastors.

T. Dixon, Jr, ex-minister and author OF
-The Leopard's Spots" was an interested
listener yesterday at the Congregational
Ministers meeting at the Hotel Chelsea,
when the negro professor OF mathematics
at Howard University, Washington. Kelly
Miller, spoke on .The Race Problem from the
Standpoint Of the Negro: All the ministers
present united in praising his address as
4 convincing argument for negro educa-
tion.
The Rev. DR.. Gordon, the new president
new officers were elected: President. the
Rev. Frank A. johnson Of New Milford'
Conn: vice-president. the Rev. Dr. Z. "
Creegan: secretary and treasurer. the rev.
Gustaf Wiman.
Prof. Miller quoted "on good authority
the statement that white men of the single
city OF Chicago commit more assaults upon
women than are attributed to the entire
negro people. II cases OF lightning strokes
were advertised with as much publicity,
he said, we should live in momentary dreao
of the terrors Of the sky.
The education Of the negro. he asserted.
is an integral factor in the general peda-
gogcal equation. No reputable authority
has yet pointed out just wherein the two
races differ in any evident mental feature.
as that Of the white man and needs the same
nurture, and though the higher education
Of the negro was declared to be a failure;
those who made this charge were careful
to avoid a bill OF particulars.
Howard University, he asserted, a. the
return on an investment Of between y 900, !.
900 and o. .oO0. 900 has sent into the world
100 physicians. pharmacists and dentists;
300 lawyers. ZOO ministers OF the. gospel
and 800 persons with general collegiate and
academic education. These graduates are
filling places OF honor and distinction.
Where, he asked, In all the history Of .edu::
cation, has q like sum Of money produced
more wholesome effect upon the general
uplift OF tho race?

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Nov. l6.-John and
Charles Bechtel, who are charged with
being access cries after the fact to the MUIR
der of their sister. Mabel Bechtel, were re-
leased from jail on $1,000 bail tonight,
George H. Gardner becoming their surety.
This action will obviate the necessity Of
the habeas corpus hearing, which had been
fixed for Friday next.
District Attorney Liohtcnwalner said
to-day that the case OF the Commonwealth
had been greatly strengthened by newly
discovered evidence, chief among which
ia the report of DR.. John Lear, biologist Of
Muhlenberg College, which is to the effect
that the sheets in Tom Bechtel's bed show
the outlines Of Mabels body In blood,
proving that the girl was killed in the house
by Tom and that the other members OF the
family knew of the crime.
The Bechtcls refuse to yield from their
original stories and all sorts OF strategy
have been resorted to trip them up, without
success. The Bechtels are 50 much an
noyed by visitors that they will move. ,

G. Moffett Of Illinois, and myself went on
an exploring expedition to- find a lake
spoken of by the Indians. They called
it Big lake. Starting from Fort Smelling
in October, we travelled south of west
and struck the Minnesota river near,
where Chaska is now situated, camped
for the night, and turning due north in
the morning, found the lake near the
present site of Excelsior. Being cold and
tired with our long tramp through the
trees, brush, vines and briers, we decided
to return home-having. been out four
days-and renew our hunt in 1851. Moffett
went home to Illinois and returned again
the following spring. He built the: Pres
colt house, near Minnehaha falls, now
known as the Adams house. In October,
1851, we again started for the lake, en-
countering it some place east of Excelsior

NEED OF TWO AMBULANCES
Pointed Out by Health Commission
ers-A Plan Suggested.

Health Commissioner P. M Hall pro-
poses that an ambulance station be estab-
lished at the city hospital, the same to be
supplied with two modern anbulances,
one for contagious persons and one for
accident cases. Both should be subject
to instant call by the police or other
proper authority, and to facilitate speed.
both wagons should be equipped with
swinging harness of the kind supplied for
fire apparatus. =: ~. 80 m.
DR.. Hall suggests that the board g Of
charities and corrections purchase the.
quarantine hospitals ambulance and
horses from the city. The outfit is now
kept at the quarantine station at St. Louis
Park The board of charities and correc-
lions now pays $500 to a livery stable for
its ambulance service. 1T could in q
few years save enough money out of this
sum to put up a station and buy its
horses. 1t costs only $500 per year for

A. GRISLY JOKE
Several South Town Boys Play One
-, on Policemen.

Captain George Sinclair and Detectives
Rhoades and Derrick were the victims of
a practical joke perpetrated by South
Side boys yesterday. The joke caused
the officers two hours hard work, and
when they got through, they were given
the laugh by the boys.
About. o'clock yesterday afternoon
some one telephoned the South Side sta
ton and announced that the body of a
baby wrapped in paper was lying beneath
the franklin avenue bridge The officers
at: once fastened to the bridge with a
long Srope. and a hook The ice was too
bridge and tried to catch the bundle on
the hook. After two hours Of hard work
they succeeded in drawing the bundle to
the bridge. A large crowd had gathered
on the bridge and, all waited anxiously
for the officers to undo the bundle. Cap
tain Sinclair carefully unwound the wrap
ping, uncovering to view not the body of
child, but that Of a large black cat.
