THE COMPARTMENT IRE
SERVED" FOR COLORED
Ed VIGOROUSLY BUT
FINALLY CONSENTED.

Jim Crow cars have been inaugu-
rated in the District of Columbia on
the steam railroads.. That is what
Col. Perry Carson, ianitor of the Dis
trict building and the undisputed po-
litical and social leader OF the 81 5000
colored people of the District of Co
lumbia, has just discovered, greatly
to his surprise and indignation.
When the Legislature of Maryland
passed a Jim Crow law last winter
the negro population of Washington
did not apprehend that it mean any
thing to them. Nobody thought that
legislation in the State could be appli-
cable to the District, but they LAY
had reason to change their opinion
since the law e into effect a few
days ago and now they know differ
emily.
Passenger trains on roads running
through Maryland have been pro-
vided with cars with n enc parti-
toned off and designated by the sign
"CoIored." OF course these cars run
into the District, and negroes taking
the trains at the stations in Washing
ton are invited to HE themselves to
the quarters provided for them Pro
tests avail nothing, and the Jim
Crow" law is as effective in the Dis
trict as in any square foot of Senator
Germans State.
Clash With the Conductor.
Col. Carson was probably the first
we'll known man of color to have any
experience with the Jim Crow law
as inforced in the District. The col
onel started on his customary visit to
his farm near Ivy City. He has not
only been a success in politics, but in
finance as we'll, and his possessions at
Ivy City might make many a white
man of high salary envious.
I'm surely in the District OF Co
lunbia." protested the colonel as the
conductor OF the train which he board
ed at the Baltimore and Ohio station
tapped him on the shoulder and said:
"Colored section in the rear"
I'm certainly in the District Of
Columbia, conductor" repeated Col
Carson as the full significance Of the
words came to him and
his ire. There is 10 Jim
Crow law in this place"
Il don't know about that, nor care"
was the response, "but you colored
folks Will have to take the Jim Crow
car when we start from Washington"
The tall mahogany of the brick
yard section stood up to his full height
and looking down on the rail-
Dad functionary, seemed On the point
OF giving him a lesson in law UneX-
pectedly, however, the colonel strobe
the aisle to the Jim Grow" sec
ton and took his seat as meekly as a
mortal, without striking a
blow in behalf OF his race.
Il knew I didn't have to, and it
had wanted to I could have stayed
! was until I got to Ivy City,
but I didn't want to make a fuss"
Col Carson afterward said.
The Incident Not Closed.
Col. Carson does not relish the Jim

ON HIS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ITO INSTANTLY AC-
QuAlNTED WITH
THE PRESIDENT.

Mike Polito, the popular Italian
deputy sheriff and the official inter
prefer of the Monongalia county
| Court. has had a brief but interesting
! correspondence with Theodore Roose-
welt through the latter's private, sec
rotary, says the Morgantown Post.
Mike" as he is generally
known, wrote to Teddy congratulating
him on his recent nomination. Mike
has rather a fatherly feeling for the
Republican nominee. and is always in
formed as to his Whereabouts and
what he is doing.
This feeling has arisen ecause at
the time Mr.. Roosevelt was police com
was captain of the sixth election dis
trict, the same district in which he
police headquarters were located. The
election captain had met Teddy and
was dis,antly acquainted with him
while the latter was still in the police
business. Beside seeing that stall
warts KEEP in line Mike was official
Interpreter for the District Attorneys
Office, his E specially being murder
cases. =--
Mr.. Polito has not only congratu-
lated Mr.. Roosevelt, but he also con-
graduated Mr.. Mckinley upon his
first nomination. AS a result Mr..
Polito has a polite note of acknowl-
edgement from Mr.. McKinley's pri-
vate secretary. The note is dated
July 9th. 1896.
Following is a copy OF the CORE
spondence between the Italian deputy
sheriff and the President.

welt:

Maid and Madness.

From the New York Evening Telegram.
Love and insanity are blood kindred.
They have formed the theme OF master
works in art; they have been the inn
pelling force in crimes without num-
ber--a melancholy conjunction, dark
with anguish and moist with tears; a
tragic coupling out Of which Is born a
Gorgon-headed grief. But this Is an
age In which precedent Is either rudely
disturbed or wholly ignored, and it is
a pleasure TO announce that the love
and insanity tradition has been dis
credited, and Cupid can look the snake
crowned horror in the face without
blinking an eyelid.
The Philadelphia heiress who eloped
with a man who was twice IN an insane
asylum possesses all Of the dauntless-
ness and determination OF a great ex-
plorer
The land Of distorted shapes and
vague shadows In which her beloved
had wandered for many long days sep
arated her from him In the infinite
shadowland behind the stars--a far,
fixed place like the asphodel meadows

turn. But he came back twice. Who
shall say what cali, what influence,
reached him and led him back to lucid
sunlight?

STAND PAT.

A FTER nature deliberation most
n Of the real Regular Republicans
OF this county have concluded that the
ticket nominated on August is a
pretty good ticket. and as it was
chosen at a convention regularly called
they axe disposed to support II, or
make one Of the greatest protests that
ever occurred in this city and county.
It Is not altogether matter OF ex-
pedlency but OF decency. Every fair
minded man realizes that the limit OF
discourtesy is reached when a
ticket is named after an open
and fair contest. and then IL is coolly
proposed to wipe it out without even
consulting these candidates. And the
delegates to that convention do not
feel complimented when there is a
proposition to undo their work without
an EFFORT to ascertain their wishes.
There has been purpose to dam
age Dr. Chandler in the eyes OF the
Regular Republicans. and this scheme
has been furthered and has had the
active support OF members OF the con-
vention which named him. Yet to any
mind not prejudiced. there has not
been unearthed a fact that in the
slightest degree compromises DR..
Chandler. The foolish letter Of his
son-in-law was not particularly dam
aging. and the statements on which
the enemies OF DR.. Chandler rely to stir
up discomfort rest on the unsupported
word Of Senator Alice. II man is to
be condemned because he has an in

From the New York Tribune.
The International Congress Of Arts
and Sciences opens at st. Louis this
week. As will be seen on referring to
the outline OF this enterprise, It's aim
Is to bring out more conspicuously than
eevr before the kinship existing be-
tween different branches Of knowledge.
A hint of that relationship was afford
ed by the program OF the congress
which met in New York last week.
Geography was there considered from
economic, c,oceanOgraphic, geological. ed
ucational historical and other points
of view. In studying the origin Of the
earth the geologist and astronomer
meet on common ground. Many of the
methods Of investigation employed by
the zoologist can be adopted profitably
by the botanist. A fuller statement Of
these and similar afhliations is certain
ly desirable. No startling revelations
are likely to be made in st. Louis this
week, but an examination OF underlying
principles and the problems yet to be
solved cannot fail to do good. Each
paper viii appeal perhaps, to a limit
ed constituency, but the experiment
was well worthy trying
A superficial glance at the list OF
speakers raises some questions which
cannot be answered readily offhand
Among those who take part there Is
vast preponderance OF college profess

a puRE Eoop LAw NEEOED.

0NE OF the largest grocers Of this
~ city who writes most Interestingly
Of the trading stamp problem, and
whose letter appears in another co..
umn. incidentally touches a matter that
is Of the gravest Importance, and COM
ing as It does from one who knows, II
should command respect.
Speaking Of the grocery drug and
iiouor trade he says Delaware is the
dumping ground for impure goods that
cannot be sold in Maryland, Pennsyl-
vanla or New Jersey or other states
having pure food laws He urges the
necessity for board OF inspection
with power either to prohibit the sale
OF adulterated goods or to have their
nature plainly indicated by proper
markings.
Now this is the opinion OF one whe
knows and who has no financial inter-
est in exposing the frauds. The gem
eral public does not realize the extent
OF food adulterations, but the matter
has grown so serious that most Statrs
have been compelled 70 legislate against
II. Pennsylvania's Pure Food Commits
sioner has been especially active during
the past year with the result that'hun-
dreds Of impure articles have been kept
out Of Pennsylvania markets.
II our correspondents assertion IS
correct, which we do not doubt, how
seriously must the practice Of medicine
be interfered with. A physician must
make very delicate calculations in maxi
ing his prescriptions. To secure a GER
tain result he must not only have a
certain drug. but he relies on a certain
strength In it. II it is diluted his call
culation has been in vain; and il it has
harmful compounds all his skill is de-
feated.
The purchaser Of impure foods and
drugs has no protection. He cannot
make examinations involving chemical
tests. He can only rely upon the hon
esty Of the merchant, which is a great
protection. but not absolute. The de-
mand for cheap goods compels the mer-
chant to buy at the best advantage, and
there is where the adulterated article
creeps in. The Legislature should
consider a remedy.
