The Introduction of Forks.

Forks are articles Of such common
household necessity 20 US that we hard
~ realize that there was time, and
not SO long ago either, when forks were
entirely unknown. A knife was used
at the table to cut up food, but the
food SO cut was afterward conveyed by
the fingers to the mouth. Rich and poor
alike were accustomed to this method
and SO thought it perfectly correct.
1t was about the year 1000 and in the
reign Of James |. when forks were first
introduced into England. This piece
Of refinement" we are told, was de-
rived from the Italians.

STINKERETTES.

The Canadian House of Com
mons has adopted law prohibit
ing the importation, manufacture
and sale of cigarettes in Canada.
This is what some people call
paternalism, and with no other
argument to the defeat of many
salutary measures.
The best authorities tell us
that cigarettes blight the health
of the smoker in many instances,
and since there is not one iota to
the credit of the little stinkers,
why not legislate them out of the
country and out of use. 1t costs
only few dollars for a legisla-
ture, a congress or parliament
to put them under the ban, then
why not?
If the law prohibits the impor-
tation, manufacture and sale of
the little lunatic makers with a
clause inserted making the pos
session prima facie evidence of
the manufacture and sale, then
the authorities would find little
difficulty in locating the violators
of the law, and the rising gener-
alton, at least, would be effectu-
ally protected against what the
scientists and intelligent people
everywhere acknowledge is
menace and curse.

The colored American., 1903-12-12

There are some excellent colored
gentlemen scattered all over this glor-
ious union, who are dreaming dreams
No mOrtals ever dared to dream be-
fore" concerning the future of the
Negro, in America, and these gentle
men reason correctly and logically
that the progress which the Negro has
made and will continue to make with
his increase and increasing educa-
tiOnaI advantages and the ultimate
recOgnitino of his civic and political
rights, justifies the assertion and the
hope that the race will at no distant
day be fully recognized in all its
rights Of citizenship, and that educa-
tion will do TO-. it what it is doing for
other elements of the citizenship 1
say this is beautiful dream, I hope
it it will find realization-but I doubt
it.
The colored American., 1903-12-12

There is absolutely no difference in
British apathy to the Negro and the
American brand of the same article,
except that the British in some parts
OF the world where their influence in
fiuences, are less brutal and more
diplomatic in their treatment of their
Black and colored subjects, they pat
ronize and coddle them and sometimes
bribe them with bauble, in the shape
of decoration, where it pays as an
advertisement of British goodwill for
the Negro. The Molasses treatment
in some of the West India Islands,
and in some of the African colonies of
the English government, has enabled
great many Englishmen without
honor in their own country, to slip in
to good posts in these colonies and
protectorates, where there is both hon
or and cash.

and bonds, and adverts to the fact in
grandiose manner in his campaign
speeches. He does the stunt with such
dramatic effect and such evident sin
cerity that we shall say A-a-menl we
are only a block or two from the
White House /!
The colored American., 1903-12-12

There are hundreds of competent
gladly serve in these places if they
were allowed and they could show as
fair an average of intelligence and
ability as many of the young white
striplings who are sent out by the gov
ernment 10 fill these places and to be
broken in as public servants. We
must not make the mistake that all
Of Uncle Sans employees are paragons
of wisdom and knowledge.
Lord Knutsfords, reasons or rather
I should say the British governments
reasons for denying Responsible Gov
ernment to the Hondurians, because
the black and colored peoples in that
Island outnumber the whites, is the
keynote to the situation in the United
States, and the territory outside of its
Geographical boundaries over which
it exercises any influence The peo-
pies in these countries are more near
ly allied to the black than to the white
race and this fact is largely responsi-
bic for the absence OF their most rep
resentative men from the appointive
and elective Offices in those lands To
appoint Negroes of approved ability
and character from America to Iucra-
tive posts in these colonies is an -ex-
The colored American., 1903-12-12

The same conditions will obtain in
our American colonies Porto Rico
the Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines
Cuba, and wherever on the Western
Hemisphere the American white man
can get a foothold and get his head
in. The New Republic of Panama,
where fevers and revolutions are the
staple products will be over run with
American adventurers just as soon as
the war cloud which now hovers over
the Republic blows away, as it will
within the next thirty days or six
weeks.
In the Hawaiian Islands, also
might say the natives who are in the
majority will never be permitted to
take too active part in its govern
ment if any white man can be found
willing to serve their country by sup
porting the constitution and drawing
comfortable salaries in that far off
land.
The colored American., 1903-12-12

1t is not the policy of the "Anglo
Saxon" race-a term which does not
population in this country, to accord
to the Negro race any rights or privi-
leges which can be legally +? withheld,
and it will not go out of it's way to as
sist him in overcoming man fashion
difficulties which now stand in the
way Of his advancement
The colored American., 1903-12-12

Race feeling is as strong in the
white man as it is in the Negro, if
anything, 1 think it is stronger, it IS
not so demonstrative among the
whites as among US, but is neverthe
less true that he feels strongly, and he
guards jealOusly every point of van
tage that viii give his own race pre-
emlnence over the black man; he is
not going out of his way to assist
Negro to do anything that will offend
or humiliate white man. His racial
instinct fOrbids him encouraging the
Negro even to hope that his dream of
equality will ever be realized in this
country. At heart he is white man,
with all the white mans pride of race
love of country, and love of power.
II he has been an observer of current
events he has seen the country ad-
vance remarkably in the past ten or
twenty years and he attributes its
growth and prosperity to the genius,
brains, business acumen, and sagacity
of his own race. He is quite positive,
of course, that Negros, if left to them
selves, could never have attained to
the high state of civilization and pro-
gress educationally and religiously
which they have reached-without the
wise direction of the white man.
While he willing admits that there
may be some reason in the Negro's OBJ
jections to existing political conditions
which hedge him about in certain sec
tions of the south, he believes that the
remedy for the correction of these
conditions is to be found in a more lib
The colored American., 1903-12-12

aral construction of the laws under
which the people of the south are gov
erened. This is all moonshine of
course, and doesn't mean a thing.
The colored American., 1903-12-12

The more liberal construction of the
southern Legislatures is consuma-
southern Legislatures is a consuma-
ton devoutly to be wished, but which
will hardly take place while the ma
jority of law makers of the south are
white men ;only certain kinds of fools
give ear to this sort of torrid air.
The colored American., 1903-12-12

In this country we do things a little
different; we lead the brethren gently
on and feed them on faith (which is
1.-The substance of things hoped for.
and the evidence of things not seen. >
This faith works wonders, and the
white brother who processes to share
it with us knows better than we do
that it will never bear other than bit
ter fruit He points with proud salts
faction to the fact that we have a Ne
gro Register of the Treasury who
signs all of Uncle Sans greenbacks
The colored American., 1903-12-12

1t will be seen that Lord Knutsferd
went to the pains to state clearly and
frankly to the educated Negroes of that
colony that they could not hope to
have Responsible Government as long
as they were in a majority, notwith-
standing that a great proportion of
these Negroes are superior in mental
endowments to the white population
and naturally feel that they have a
right to participate in making the
laws in a government which they are
taxed to support. But the offices in
nearly all of these British colonies are
and have been for years reserved for
the broken down and discredited poll
ticians and moral wrecks for whom
there can be no provision made in
England. So that Kingston, Barba-
does, Trinidad, and other colonies in
the West Indies and other parts of, the
Globe where the Lion wags his tail,
are carpet-bag governments such as we
had in the south after the war of the
Rebellion. The British in India and
the West Indies, are not giving any
offices of trust and emolument to their
black and brown subjects.
The colored American., 1903-12-12

The Negros Of British Honduras, in
1891, petitioned the Crown praying for
a modicum of Responsible Govern
ment. Lord Knutsford, speaking for
the Cabinet, replying to this petition,
made answer: That the British Parli-
ament Te0er intended that the Colony
in which the British Inhabitants were
greatly IN q minority, should enjoy Re
SpOnSibIe GOvernment-that that was
the case with British Honduras; the
number of the African inhabitants
greatly preponderating over the Brit
ish in that Peninsula Colony"

CAME IN A PRIVATE CAR
The Style Put On by a Cochise
 Supervisor.

Thomas R. York, member of the board of supervisors of Cochise county, arrived in Phoenix yesterday in more style than the average Arizona super visor displays. He reached Tucson on the "Burro'' the day before and took the regular train to Phoenix. When ne got to the depot he looked around for a Pullman and saw one standing in front of the depot, the rearmost car of the train. He entered, and being man Of commanding presence and an English manner he impressed the porter, He was sleepy. He said to the porter: Fix me up a lower berth and do it quick ''Yes, sah,'' and the porter stirred himself. When the berth was ready MT. York turned in. He after ward remembered that he saw several typewriting machines, but he did no. | think of them at the time. His berth was not an ordinary berth, but a hand somely appointed compartment. There was a light burning in the next one, and it annoyed MT. York, who yelled to the porter to put it out. It was ex- tinguished at once.
 | MT. York was awakened early by the | smell of breakfast, and he said to him. i self, This is finer than silk: they've l got a buffet. I wonder if this all goes In for the price of berth?'' He rose and dressed and looked about for place tc wash. and seeing none he applied to 1 the porter.
 The porter pointed to another cor.:- partment and told him that a gentle man was sleeping there, but that made no difference. Mr York entered and immediately the, gentleman sprang UT :. in bed and yelle,l: .''Who in the devi are you and what do. you want?" N;r
 York replied that he wanted to perform
 his ablutions- Yes yelled the occu- l pant of the compartment; "but who i, the hell are you? Get out.''
 MT. York went to the porter for ar
 explanation of the gentleman's extra. l ordinary conduct. When the porter
 found out how things stood he turne:
 white. MT. York was angry Ther the porter told him that he was in ths supcrintendent's- private car "Why didn't you tell me" he asked the porter
 with a roar, that this was a privat, car?" ,,j,;
 The reply of ts. porter was concilia

TRIED TO POISON CH1QUITA.
Candy Doctored With Arsenic Sent to
 the Dwarf Woman.

sharon, Pa, February 9.-Chiquita, said to be the smallest woman in the world, was poisoned yesterday by eat ing candy sent her anonymously from Buffalo. Town physicians worked over her for two hours before they pro- nounced her out of danger. On Thurs day night a package was received through the mail addressed to Chi quita. Two Pinkerton detectives Who have been guarding her because Of threatened attempts to kidnap her opened it and examined the contents. The package apparently contained six silk handkerchiefs and some silk hose. They turned the contents over to Chi Quita, who found in the toe of one Of the stockings a piece of candy. She ate part of it and became violently ill. Physicians were summoned and they said that she was suffering from arsenical poisoning. The remainder or the candy was sent to a chemist for analysis. Chiquita' s husband has placed the matter in the hands of the police.
 Chiquita is 26 inches high, 26 years old and weighs 30 pounds.

EIGHT COUNTIES
Represented in the Convention of
 Supervisors.

A convention of representatives of boards of supervisors of eight counties of the territory was begun yesterday in one of the jury rooms. The meeting is a much more important one than had been contemplated and it's objects of g great deal wider scope. The attendance was also much larger. At the begin ming it was thought that while other matters miglt be brought up, the prin- cipal thing to come before it would be the matter of caring for the indigents and the making of an arrangement for the transfer of indigents from the southern counties to Maricopa. It turns out, however, that is only one Of the many things which will be before the convention.
 The following representatives were present: Apache county, Isaac Isaac son and D. Lopez; Navajo, L. E. Divei- biss; Coconino, A. T. Cornish Mari copa, F. c. Norris, A. Hunsaker ana Jake Miller; Yuma, w. E. Marvin; Graham, w. E. Caruthers; Pima, E. L.. Vail; Cochise, J. J. Bowen and Thomas R. York.
 The convention was organized by the election of Jake Miller, chairman, ana Neri Osborn secretary. Committees for various purposes were appointed and many matters were informally dis cussed but no recommendations were agreed upon. The meeting was ad- | journed until this morning, when the active work of the convention will be taken up. All laws affecting the coun- 1 ties will be passed upon especially those | relating to the revenues and the conclu-
 sions of the convention will be put in
 the form of suggestions to the legisla- | ture
