that these centenarians are were all

Perhaps that we were children, for

H~eartache and longing. and then an

But kiss that never stirred my

And yet we thought we loved, l know.
but it was love amiss,
The pulses in our hearts of love were

And then she came, a woman of all

To feel the poison of her touch, to

The Lincoln Church Meeting
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


The mass meeting at the Lincoln Memo
rial Church last night did not represent all
the colored citizens. Hot-headed men and
radical speeches do the race no good. I
feel that it is my duty to make few com
Ihents upon the meeting. One speaker, II
he Is rightly quoted in the morning papers
made the impression that all the white peo-
pie of the south are against the co,ored peo-
pie 1 deny that statement. I have lived
in the south nearly thirty years. and feel
safe in saying that some OF the best ele-
ment of the south are true friends of the
negro race. | have heard men say in the
south on different occasions that before
certain colored men should be imposed
upon, or any of their rights infringed upon.
the parties would have to walk over their
dead bodies. 1t is true that there are law
less elements In the south, as there are In
all other sections of this country, and where
there is such large number of colored
people they impose generally upon them;
but / repeat that 1t is unfair to charge the
best element of the white people of the
south, Virginia or any other state, with be-
ing against the colored people. l believe
these indignation mass meetings and wild
speeches that are made in colored churches
have caused more friction between the
races than anything else. We believe truly
in the fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man. and all men should enjoy the
full blessings Of government and all the
privileges guaranteed therein, and yet we
are utterly opposed to these indignation
mass meetings.

A CITY OF GHOSTS.
Moldering Ruins of Goa-Reminiscent
Of Departed Splendor.

From the st. James Gazette.
It was said that during the prosperous
times Of the Portuguese in India you could
not have seen a piece of iron In any mer-
chants house, but all gold and silver. They
coined immense quantities Of the precious
metals. and used to make pieces of work
manship in them for expectation. The
very soldiers enriched themselves by COM
merce.
But then religious persecution, pestilence
and wars with the Dutch, disturbances
arising from an unsettled government, and
above all the slow but sure workings OF
the short-sighted policy Of the Portuguese
in intermarrying and identifying them
selves with the Hindus Of the lowest caste,
made her fall as rapid as her rise was
sudden and prodigious.
In less than a century and half after
Da Cana had landed on the Indian shore
the splendor of Goa had departed forever.
The inhabitants fled before the deadly fever
which soon fastened upon the devoted pre-
cincts of the city, and in 1888 the viceroy
transferred his headquarters from. the an
Client capital to Parjina. about eight miles
distant Soon afterward the Jesuits were
expelled, leaving their magnificent con-
vents and churches all but utterly de-
serted, and the inquisition was suppressed
upon the recommendation OF the British
government
The place is now grass-grown wilder
ness. But still the firm and well-built
causeways of this olden city and its mold
ering splendors are reminiscent of echolng
pageants and the tramp of armies which
once sounded there. AS we tread the an
cient wharf, a long broad road, lined with
a double row of trees and faced with
stone, a more suggestive scene OF desola-
ton can hardly be conceived. Everything
around teens with melancholy associations,
the very rustlings of the trees and murmur
of the waves sound like a dirge for, the
departed grandeur of a. city
Towering above a mass of ruins soli-
tary gateway TANKS the entrance to the
Strada Diretta, the Straight street, so
called because almost all the streets In old
Goa are laid out in curviiinear form. 1t
was through this portal surmounted by
the figures OF st. Catherine and Vasco da
CANA that the newly appointed viceroys
of Goa passed In triumphal procession to
the palace.
Beyond the gate a level road. once
popuious thoroughfare. leads to the Terra
di Sabaio, a large square fronting the Pri-

Balloons in Japanese Army.
- marJca


American and European armies have used
balloons for some, syears, and they were
notably successful as employed by the
British during the South African war for
spying out the enemy's position and for
the opportunity they gave the British en-
gineers to study the. difficulties of the land
for defensive and offensive operations. In
the Spanish war, the United States army
was not so successful, because the balloon
was sent up too near the enemy and from
the center ofsthe invading army, and the
lives of both the regiments and the occu-
pants Of the balloon were in much greater
danger thereby. Japan. keeping up, as
usual with the most advanced of modern
methods, has assigned this speciality to one
of the seven military officers she is send
ing abroad this year to study modern war
fare Captain Tokunaga, who has long
made ballooning his speciality, is the officer
sent by the Japanese government to study
all forms of aerial navigation He Is in
Germany at present pursuing his studies,
and the Japanese government, 1t Is said,
will give him every opportunity to further
his researches and experiments The de-
partment Of strategy OF the Japanese army
is especially interested in this matter and
will have constructed shortly an expert
mental building where the balloons and ap-
paratus can be tested. with the view of
adopting or perhaps inyenting some form
of airship for the maneuvers OF the Inn
perial army.
