TILLMAN'S OPIONIN.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
said today he had to think hard for
words to express himself, but he ven
tured the remarks that the reception
suggested a pail of milk with a fly in
it. Northern people might drink it
if they pleased, but the southern peo-
pie never would.
The thing that bothers me most is
that my name was printed this morn
ing among the guests present. The
same mistake was made on the Occa-
sion of the diplomatic reception.
have not been to the white house.
never expect to go there while Roose-
welt occupies it. l do not blame any
southern man for opposing the prac-
tice of social equality, that is if he is
white man. "
The name of Senator McLaurin OF
Mississippi was also included in the
list of those present. He was at home.
He said he never went to the white
house except on business, and his
comment on the reception he said
Might not make proper reading for
polite society"

BLUNDER OF BLUNDDERS.

Senator Pettus said: 1t was the
blunder of plumbers. -
Senator Cockrell said: Il am ex-
tremely sorry. We've had trouble
enough already
Senator Carmack said: My re-
marks would not be fit for publica-
ton
Many thought at first that the ne
groes were from some of the off-color
foreign countries, like Hayti, until
they realized that they were everyday
negroes, and southern states negroes
at that.
The feeling among southerners in
Washington is that President Roose-
Welt has again aggravated the ugli-
ness of the race question, which he
might easily have avoided Were he
not genuinely agreeable to merge
equality.
Representative Brazeald, of Louis
lana, said: ''I was greatly surprised.
Mr.. Roosevelt is doing himself a
great deal of harm. He is lowering
himself in the estimation southern

We have deep sympathy for Cas-

Indian chief of Venezuela. a South
American republic that can be
crushed out in five minutes either by

formed a combination of European ma
tions and even of the islands them
selves to disregard the true purposes
of the Monroe doctrine. This will
hardly occur during the present gen.
Grafton for the fact that almost all
the European nations are showing
their teeth at each other and of
course the South American republics

ROOSEyELT'S MIXED RECEP-
TION, FRIDAY, JANUARY %.

A special to the Memphis Morning
News reporting Roosevelt's last |
break, says:
White folks from the south in |
Washington who were at the white |
house rec option last night in honor of
the judiciary have had great deal to
say one way and another over the
presence of negroes of both sexes.
Two of the blacks were government
officers -Judson V. Lyons. register of
the treasury and John G. Ganey, re-
corder of deeds for the District of Co
lumbia, who brought colored female
cousin with him. One of the women
present, with complexion as dark as
the inside Of stall at midnight,
made generous display of neck and
shoulders, around which an evening
gown was daintIly built.
Theseffect of this large dark flesh
in the middle of a luxurious garden
of pink and white womanhood was
decidedly novel.
Several of the southern guests went
ont of doors.
1t is said that the very air Of the
executive mansion was warm and
heavy with the incense of the Roose-
welt devotion to humanity regardless
of race, and that the strange invisible
perfume arrested AMI puzzled way
farers on the avenue.
Ethnologicallys speaking, it was the
most memorable reception of the
season.
1t is not the first time a negro was
ever at a white house reception, but
it is the first occasion at which de-
cided percentage of the guests were sc
conspicuously black and white as to
attract attention and create invidious
sentiment and remark.
The truth is the sensation caused
by the Booker Washington lunch
with the president was mere ripple
by the side of the seething disgust
within which many people saw it and
! others have since heard of the pres
ence at the white house of number
of negro women and evening dress.
There the negroes stood among the
white ladies and gentlemen in the
densely crowded rooms, and those
who were there say they never knew
it to be so oppressively close at
white house party.
The negroes were among the frs
after the judiciary to grasp the presl
dents hand and receive his cordia
: greetings. Then they went to ;
. corner. Here they were much OBJ
g served and carefully kept at distanc
e by a number of guests who hurried
! away from the place. There was al
early rapid thinning out of tn
0 crowd, so that the negro guests wer
enabled to make their exit withou
any jostling by the white people.
1t is predicted that hereafter ther
e will be noticeable falling off i'll TIL
r number of those who attend the ROOse
y Welt receptions.

THE ENGLISH PHYSIQUE
SAID TO BE INCREASING
Betterment Not Confined to the Well

There is. We believe. some exaggeration
in the widespread idea that the physique
of our population is declining. All through
history every successive generation has
INDUCED in that fancy. and Of all gen.
erations this is the one that loves most
to hunt out and display evils to be rem
edied. People forget that every pOpula-
tion on earth deposits a sediment, a pro-
portion OF weaklings, imbeciles and un-
dersized folk. which is fixed by some law
Of which we know nothing. and which
increases rather than diminishes So
cial safety improves. a sanitary science
advances and as pity for the weak be-
comes a more active virtue The Tickety
who once died like flies. now tend TO re-
main alive. With the enormous increase
of our population the positive number
of such persons becomes more and more
visible, till observers fancy that some evil
change must have passed over the pop
ulation. They see the hundred loafeTs in
the street. and forget the thousand toll
ers in the factory. The improvement in
the physique of the well-to-dO also, which
is so great that the majority cannot put
on ancient armor and which reaches so
far down that. as the Bishop of RipOn
pointed out in tie Lords recently, the
average height of Englishmen has in
creased by three-quarters of an inch in
thirty years, accentuates the apparent de-
of tall girls now seen in a ballroom ac-
centuates the lowliness of the short.
There is a disposition. too, among the
cultivated. which does not. we fancy, ex-
ist among those who work, to make too
much of mere bulk. They forget that
the Chinese are among the strongest Of
mankind. and disbelieve when told that
the Roman sOldiery were. as a rule little
men, perhaps three inches shorter than
the Gauls they conquered. Again. we
dare assert that a regiment Of London

defeat an unarmed regiment of Bis

their hands a regiment of Sikhs. with

LILLIPUTIANS SCORE
SUCCESS IN "GEISHA"
Captivate Large Audience by Clever
Rendition of the Japanese Musi-
cal Comedy.

The Pollard Lilliputian Opera Com
pany presented 1.-The Geisha" at the
Grand Opera-house last night to a large
and highly delighted audience. This at
tractive company of little people showed
to excellent advantage in the beautiful
Japanese idylic musical comedy. 1t was
beautifully staged and costumed. The
scenery was painted in Kobe, especially
for the lilliputians when they were tour
ing Japan four months ago. 1t is very
handsome and picturesque and naturally
Japanesque in the extreme. In fact, the
whole atmosphere of the performance
smacks of the land of the home of the
chrysanthemum. The piece is well acted
and sung throughout, none of the musical
numbers being omitted.
Miss Alice Pollard was a very graceful
and dainty o Mimosa San and sang her
two solos, ''Amorous Goldfish and
Jewel of Asia" charmingly. Little
Daphne Pollard reveled in the role of
Molie Seymour. The part is exactly
suited to her style and she captivated her
audience from the start by her cute antics

Boy in rollcxing fashion.

was thoroughly well trained and drilled.
