THE Rooseyeltian idea is assum-
ming shape. The following was
telegraphed from Oyster Bay,
Long Island, the Presidents sum-
mer home, to Mondays Globe Dem
Rev.James T. Gaskin, pastor of
the A. M. E.. Zion church, after be-
refused a shave in a barber
shop last night, was forced out un-
der threats of being dubbed. The
negro pastors attempt to get shaw
ed in the best barber shop in town
was regarded by the negroes liv-
ing in Oyster Bay, of whom there
are several hundred, as a test case,
and they VIZ greatly stirred up ov-
er the incident, and some of them
are talking of bringing the matter
before the President in some way.
1t was late when Rev. Gaskin
went into David Viewpoints shop
and asked to be shaved. Mr.. Gas
kin has just moved to town from
Yonkers, succeeding Rev. c. Van
Buren, as pastor of the African
Methodist church. Rev. Mr.. Van
Buren, had never made an effort to
get shaved in any of the Oyster
Bay shops, and all the negroes in
town have understood for a long
time hat it was impossible for
them to be accommodated. Rev.
Mr.. Gaskin was told by Newport
that he could not get shaved,
Newport, according to the pastor.
added that he would find it pretty
difficult to get shaved in any of the
Oyster Bay shops. The minister
appealed to three patrons of the
the shop as to whether it was righ'
that a man of good character ant
moral stability should be refused
service in the barber shop merely
because of the color of his skin
He asked them, also, whether they
objected to have a colored mai
shaven in the shop. The patrons
of the shop did not answer. Their
Newport, the proprietor, took i;
police billy from a drawer in ;
desk and threatened to hit him OF
the head unless he retired from tn,
shop.
Rev. Mr.. Gaskin went out ant
sought Justice Franklin, with the
intention of have a warrant sworn
out against Newport. Justice
Franklin advised him that the law
was probably on his side, and tina
he could get shaved in the shop
but he counseled him as a matte
OF expediency that it would be bet
ter not push the case, as it nigh
result in impairing his usefulness
as pastor Of the church. The re-
suit of the pastors attempt to ge
shaved in an Oyster Bay shoI
quickly spread among the negr
population of the village, and the,
at once took the matter up. Rev
Mr.. Gaskin said tonight that h
did not care to attach any particu
t lar significance to the incident be
cause it happened in the Presi
dents home town. He preferred
rather, he said, to regard it as
violation of the general principl
of equality. He admitted that tn
incident furnished a test case fo
the negroes of Oyster Bay. H
could not say at present, he sale
whether he would drop the case c
not.

IT remains to be proved that the
old gang in Missouri, after it's
thirty years of control, has ceased
to be supreme in the party in any
respect Globe Democrat.
And it likewise remains to be
seem whether the old gang that

ago will be again put up in the high

miniously hurled by an indignant
people, SO soon as they got a
whack at them.

TAKE from the Republic of Tues

TAKE from the Republic of Tues
day:
Said one of the delegates to-
night after the caucus: "With no
malice toward him (Sam Cook,
but with an eye single to a clean
ticket, we believe that he should
step down and out. Though in
structed for him, we intend to do every
thing in orr poper to beat him-short
of boiling instructions on the first
ballot"
There's q nice specimen of the
gentry who profess devotion to
''the will OF the people," for you!
And of those who want politics so
clean and upright that the sun of
heaven shall illuminate the earth.
Suppose a machine" delegate in
structed for Folk were to talk that
way-what a howl would go up
from the Righteous Push! How
ever, the thought comes that the
Republic may be lying.

DURING the Chicago strike of
railway employees against Pull
man, in 1894, United States troops
were sent into the city at the re-
quest of the corporationists. That
arch traitor to Democratic prin-
ciple, President Cleveland, justi-
fed his action by the plea that the
mails were being o~bstructed,
though no attempt had been made
to hinder the free transit of the
mail cars. To-day there is a strike
on in the Letter coal mines be-
cause Mr.. L. arbitrarily reduced
the miners pay sixteen cents a
ton, although an agreed scale was
in force whose time limit was yet
eighteen months distant. The
miners were ordered off his 1900
acre premises, and they are
camped in outbuildings and tents
along the roadside. A stockade is
being built around Mr.. Letters
land and no one is permitted to
cross the boundaries Of his possess
sions. ! copy from Mondays

turned her back and informed her
that, pursuant to Letters orders,
no one would be permitted to &c
to the post-office. If any mail was
there it would be delivered only
by special messenger hired by

would it be possible for her tc

none of the others were called upon for that purpose. Both of the speakers promised the city their best services. Mayor Keller congratulated the mem- bers of the council upon the work they had done in the year that mas just passed and upon the expression of conh- dence the people had shown in them.
 In naming his committees, Mayor Keller said there seemed to be a re- eIecting mood prevailing, and taking this to mean general satisfaction with the conditions as they existed, he re- named all the old committeeman, as follows:
 Ways and means-KiDg, Boughton and Shaw.
 Fire and water-vanCleve, Eelem and wolland
 Public works and public property Boughtou, Wolland and VenCleye

CITY or SKAGWAY TO OWN
 ITS WATER SYSTEM
Council Decides Upon Decisive Action and Will Provide Fire Protection For the
 Citizens and Water Service

, 10 the water front, with lateral mains from that to Broadway on the one side and Main street on the other wherever required. The railroad company is to pump the water to the tank aforesaid at the rate of SlO0 per month, and to receive water, rent free, for the gen. eral office building and the depot, for the White Pass club and the "shack" adjoining the club building. This will give the system head of about l56 feet above mean high tide, and a pressure of 60 to 65 pounds to the square inch in the business section of the city, better than the best pressure given the city in the past. By adding another pump, similar to the one the railroad company is now using, which it is pro- posed the city shall install for use in an emergency, the cost of which has been taken into account in all the figuring, the water supply would be sufficient to provide three streams through nozzles such as used by the Skagway fire de- partment for six hours, or four such streams for three hours. This may be still further increased by the city's building another tank, such as that be- longing to the railroad company, which has a capacity of 5O,OOO gallons, and which it is proposed the city shall even- tUally do.
 From the mains mentioned, service pipes will make connections with the and business houses desiring water.
 It is figured that S15,OOO will more than cover the cost of the plant, and conservative estimate based on last years business will give the city to ex- ceed slO, 900 to apply on the proposition during the year. It is thought that the city and hool funds can be handled in such a way as to make this available in the next four months, and have the plant in operation within that time. The ctty's revenue comes in dur ing the entire year, while the school

The City of skagway is to have q water system of it's own. That was de- cided upon last night by the city council. The action of the w. P. & Y. R. in offeri to furnish the city the use ', su,,s.ge tank on the side of the mountain above the shops and to pump the water into 1t for s1OO per month and that of the citizens of the town in un- dertaking to procure the piping, fit ings and other machinery for the city and to wait for their money until it can be paid for made the action by the council practicable and assured the city freedom from the grasp of those who are attempting to hold it up.
 The proposed water plant will give the city better fire protection than it ever has had. The matter has been thoroughly investigated by joint com mittee of the city council and chamber of commerce, consisting of Messrs. Van Cleve, Kalem and Wolland for the city and Messrs. Daly, Clayson, Blanchard and Dement, for the chamber of com merce. These have consulted and come to complete agreement with the W. P. & Y. R. The character of the pro- posed plant, it's capacity, it's cost, the method of operating it and the method of financing were made plain last night by chairman Van Cleve of the select committee, chairman King of the fn- auce committee and other members of the council, all of whom have investi- gated the matter in all its phases, A.

gave a luau at their handsome new
Waikiki residence yesterday in honor
of the sixty-fourth anniversary Of the
birth of Captain John F. James, better
known as "Stickeen." who, coming to
Hawaii in the course Of world wide
travels two or three years ago, has

Pacific and its inhabitants to the ex-
tent Of believing this Territory the
best spot on earth to camp on.
Today is James birthday. although
his many friends celebrated yesterday.
Today is also Washingtons birthday
and "Stlckeen" properly appreciates
the honor conferred upon him by fate.
Some thirty invited friends OF the
youthful old captain and Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis surrounded table burdened
with pig prepared in Hawaiian style
and all the good things that go with
the main dish at genuine luau. The
feasting chamber was gaily decked
with an abundance Of beautiful flow
ers and the gallant captain, the guest
of honor, was covered with leis. An
Hawaiian quintet club furnished de-
lightful music and the occasion was
every bit as merry as the proverbial
marriage bell.
Captain James was the recipient of
countless gratulations on the youth

autumnal age of three score and four.
