Booker Washington, in iecturing to
his colorcd people. tells them this story.
and IL hits hard those OF his own race
who have tried to inJure him. He
says:
'Once upon a time there was an old
solored man who Was having great
success catching crabs He had q ire
mendous box more than half full. when
a paseer-by warned him that the Dig
eset and best crabs were cnwling out
aud would escape. The old man re
piled:
"-Thsnkce. sir. much obleered, but
amt roin' to lose no crabs lee a
crnpologirt. Is. and knows all bout
de crab nature. I don't need to watch
'em. 'uall. when de big crab night up
to de top. and when be Is gittin' out.
de little crabs catch him by de lsig and
null him back. He CANT git out no
how"
And then Booker Washington says:
MY friends. have been informed
that there IL something OF crab nature
in human nature: but # must he alto
rether among white folks and not in
our race"

SCOTTISH MARRIAGES
BECOMING POPULAR
Number of Irregular Unions Is Said to
Be Rapidly Increasing.

l.y..
LONDON, March 20-"The Scottish
marriage is rapidly gaining in favor
in Scotland. Never in, the memory or
the registrar. general has It had such
a boom. The marriage laws of Scot
land differ from those Of England
mainly in the recognition Of irregular
marriages" as fully valid in the eyes of
the law.
A marriage of this sort to be valid
needs only the declaration Of the par
ties that they presently do take each
other for husband and wife,"
There is one other condition-the con-
dition that killed the business Of the
blacksmith of Gretna Green. One OF
the parties to these regular irregular
weddings must be resident of Scot
land for twenty-one days preceding
the marriage.
The registrar general, in his annual
report for Scotland for 1903, issued to-
day, shows that the irregular mar
riages numbered 1852, and were 6.22
per cent of the whole.
Neither the total number of frregu-
lar marriages and the percentage of
irregular marriages has never been so
high.
Glasgow and Edinburgh are the great
centers for irregular marriages. In
Edinburgh one marriage in five is of
the "Gretna" type, and in Glasgow one
in eight. In PEBBLES these weddings
drop to under one in hundred, while
KirkcaIdy and other towns have not
had one yet.

BRITISH TROOPSHIP
RAMMED BY STEAMER
Steamship New York Has Two Mishaps
in English Channel.

SOUTHAMPTON, March 20.-The
American line steamship New York,
Capt. Young, from New York, March
II, for Plymouth Cherbourg, and
Southampton, met with two miShapS
today grounding off Cape la Hague,
France, in the early morning and later
coming into collision in the English
channel with the Peninsular & Orient
steamship ASSaye, under contract to
the British government and used as a
troopship bound for Bombay with 500
troops on board. The New York ground
ed while approaching Cherbourg at
2:20 o'clock this morning, during fog.
The sea was smooth however, and the
tide was on the flood and within an
hour and a half the vessel was hoated
without assistance. Her bottom was
damaged and there was water in the
holds and she was able to proceed.
During the voyage up the channel
q dense fog descended. When off Hurst
Castle, the Assaye suddenly appeared
and it was impossible to avoid a col
lision. The New York's bow crashed
into the Assaye's starboard bow, tear
ing a great gap in that vessel. The
New York's bowsprit and figurehead
were carried away and the latter was
smashed into fragments. There was
great excitement on both vessels. The
boats of the Assaye were lowered and
the troops were mustered, but the bulk
head of the troopship saved her.
Both vessels were able to enter
Southampton and the New York was
locked at $50 o'clock for temporary
repairs. Nobody was injured. 1t will be
impossible to estimate the damage to
New York until she is put into dry
dock.
1t is believed both vessels have been
somewhat seriously injured.
Another troopship will replace the
Assaye.

PENSION BILL is
HELD FOR ADDITIONS
Senate and House VIII Devote
Week to Appropriation
Measures.

WASHINGTON D. C., March 20
The present week in the senate will be
devoted almost entirely to appropria-
ton bills beginning on Tuesday with
that for the District of Columbia and
following with the Indian and pension
bills Neither the District nor the In
dian bill has been reported from COM
mittee, but both are promised early in
the week and they will take precedence
over the pension bill, Notwithstanding
the latter is now on the calendar. The
pension bill is held for possible addf-
lions made necessary by additional
legislation, but its consideration will
not be long delayed. tits not expected
there will be- any effort to increase
the amount carried by the bill on ac-
count of the recent executive pension
order. Whatever sum may be required
to carry the order into effect will be in
corporated in a general deficiency bill.
Unobjected bills on the calendar will
be taken up tomorrow and further con-
, sideration may be given to Senator
Fairbanks bill providing for new de-
partment building in this city.
Postoffice Bill in House.
WASHINGTON, D. &C, March 90
The postoffice, the military academy
and the sundry civil appropriation bills
constitute the work mapped out for
the house this week. On Monday the
house will adjourn early owing to the
death of Representative Thompson, Of
Alabama. The postoffice bill is pend
ing and several knotty questions, such
as rural free delivery salaries, railway
mail subsidies and railway mail service,
are likely to prolong its consideration
for several days. The military acade-
my bill is not expected to consume
much time The sundry civil bill prob
ably will be ready the latter part of the
week, and it's consideration will ex
tend into the following week. Present
indications are that no other mat
tiers of Importance are likely to be in
jected into the proceedings Of the week.
The postoffice report will be cared for
hereafter by the Mccall committee,
which is to sit in open session during
the week.

NEGRO TURNS WHITE
And THEN EXPIRES
Mrs. Matte Dancy c Commenced
to Change Color When She
Was Eight Years Old.

LEAVENWORTH,K Kan, March 20.
One. Of those rare: occasions where
a colored person turns white came to
light in this city when the death Of
Miss Matte. Dancy,- an aged negro
woman, was reported to the authori-
ties. This is peculiar, and many peo-
pie believe such things Impossible, but
nevertheless they are true; at least
the woman who died here was white at
the time Of her death.
The woman started to. turn white In
small spots when she was but eight
years of age, and the change had been
gradual up to the time of her death,
when her whole body was white with
the exception Of a few black spots on
her face. Her hair, like her skin, was
also white, and had it not been for her
features she could have been mistaken
for white woman. F1T2fs9
Mrs. Dancy was sixty eight years Of
age at the time of her death, and was
born in Mississippi. A strange feature
is the fact that her brother is also turn
Ing white and in time will be as white
as was his sister. Her mother who is
now living, is said to be 125 years old.
Mrs. Dancy was married woman, and
her husband died about fifteen years
ago. Her two children are also dead.
The woman's home was wrecked by
fC1c lIOOO last spring III hdASdS NAey,
and she came to this city in August,
thinking the change would benefit her
health.
The change did her good at first, but
soon the old spells that she had been
experiencing since childhood returned
and she rapidly grew worse. At times
during the spells she appeared out of
her head and did all sorts of strange
things.

dated from New Years day. The
change from black to white took place
very slowly and started on the hands
and feet.
