NEGRO DIALECTS.


A patron OF cAkewalks or an admirer
Of cakewalk music might be JUSTIFIED in
not thinking so. but the fact is that there
are more than 50 separate dialects
among the colored population OF the
south, says the New York Sun.
Anyone who has travelled through
the tidewater counties OF Virginia is
aware that the speech OF the negro popu-
lation there differs materially from that
used in the cotton fields OF Alabama. The
singsong speech OF the camp meeting
negro from the hilly part Of northern
Georgia differs essentially from the soft
er and more melodious speech of the
Louisiana negroes from the region of
-canebrakes and rice fields.
The negro race n the south is es-
sentially initiative. and In Louisiana,
where the reminders Of French occupa-
ton are many, the French accent and
information are preserved. In South
Carolina, which has. relatively, the
largest negro population, there are
found in the tidewater counties the
Guinea negroes whose dialect is has been
found dinicult for many visitors to un-
derstand
In southern and southwestern Mis-
souri, the negro dialect differs entirely

fact. 1t is still a mystery. The curiosity
of the public has been fed with mass
of figures representing bills against Ut.
Dowie, with estimates Of possible as
sets, with figures given by the general
oyerseer himself as to his financial
standing; but there has been but little
that gives anything like . clear insight
into the ways and methods of Zion.
In fact, the mystery has but deepened
because of the seeming faith placed In
the institution and Its head by the con-
Germs having claims against 1t. Before
the receivers were appointed more than
so firms had filed suits against Dowie
for goods furnished him. What they
were asking were judgments. the forci-
BILE collection of which would have meant
the appointment Of receivers, and yet
when the receivers are appointed they
protest against it, and the majority ask
that the receivership be dissolved, and
that the venerable head of the Christian
Catholic church be permitted to con-
tinue his operations.
1t looks very much as though these
men, at least, now understand the imam
cial possibilities of Zion: that they have
been given an insight into the methods
of Dowie. and know that he is in posi-
ton to pay II let alone. Dowie, HIM

tics. It had reached the point where
the policeman took his life In his hands
every time he went on duty. The patrol-
man and the detective were both ex-
posed to the unerring aim Of the muir.
derous thug.
There is no doubt that the Chicago
police force is far from model one IN
many respects. The Hermann graft
committee investigations have proven
that some of the force are not above
taking protection" money from the
vicious classes, and it is this protection
which has brought about the reign OF
the thug in the city. But on the other
hand there are as brave men on the
Chicago police force. men as true to their
duty to the public which they serve, as
may be found in any other city in Amer
lea, and it is the true man who has suf-
fered for the shortcomings of the faith
less ones.
Detective Quinn was one of the true
men. He was neither fool nor cow
ard He met death in the performance
of duty, as did seven others Of his COM
panions of the force within the last
three years. Had he shot Marx with
out warning. and without the confession
Marx afterwards made, he would have
been criticised as being too free with
his gun" When he did not do so and
suffered the penalty the public called
him fool for letting a bad man get
the best of him. But he was neither.
He was just conscientious official. He
knew nothing of the desperateness Of
the man he, had gone to arrest, man
who was the outgrowth of conditions

hibition of this was quickly followed
nv the exhibition of the sweetheart OF
Van Dine. The public fiOcked to see
both of these objects. They were espe-
cially attractive to the small boy OF the
CITY. and around them he built ro-
nance, with the murderers as the
heroes. Since their exhibition every
open.lot of Chicago has witnessed a re-
hearsal of the Indiana tragedy that has
brought out all the inert viciousness
of the average small boy, and has start
cd many of them on the road to crime.
The city council propose to put stop
TO exhibitions of this kind, and when II
does so it will have closed one OF the
schools for crime in this city.
The all-night saloon is another OF
these schools for crime; the dance hall
that is open to the drunken revelers OF
a city at all hours of the night is yet
another. Both of these are, for time,

To imagine that these tithes come ex-
clusiyely from the poor is to imagine

RAIN OR SHINE MESSAGES
BOYS WHO WOULD CARRY THEM
FOR THE WEATHER MAN BUSY
WITH A QUIZ.

Ten bright looking boys, all between
the ages of IA and 20, reported at the
postoffice this morning for the civil
service examination which will de-
termine who will carry the messages
for the weather bureau man. The
papers were sent from Washington
and will be returned there to be
marked.
The questions put to the boys drew
upon their learning and imagination,
abstruse, theoretical and practical.
The field covered the science of num-
bers and the art of numerical compu-
tation, embracing addition, subtrac-
ton and multiplication. incidentally
the common branches were touched
upon, such as writing, geography and
history. After the papers have been
corrected by the civil service commits
sion at Washington the lucky candi-
dates will be informed by a special
message. ~
The examination assures that only
a bright boy will secure the place and
therefore no danger can be expected
from the mixing of one days weather
with another in the messages. OPP
portunities for advancement are open
for the successful candidate. It will
not be necessary to retake the pre-
liminary examinations and the future
examinations will deal only with the
work connected directly with the
weather bureau service.
