An Example for the colored Race.

Not long ago, it became known that a negro resident of Phoenix was an- moving respectable girls and women by following them about, brushing against them, and making insulting remarks within their hearing. The leading colored men of the town heard of it and they promptly took the mat none of the ladies who had been an- noyed wished to undergo the addition al annoyance of an appearance in court, and that, in fact, it would be difficult to convict the offending negro on any criminal charge.
 But these respectable colored cti- zens did not propose to let the matter rest, impossible as it was to punish the offender in court. They waited upon him, and gave him hours to leave town, never to return, The time given the miscreant was barely sufficient to enable him to dispose of his property and skip. He was told emphatically that if he did not leave Phoenix at once the colored citizens would handle his case in their own way He saw that they meant busi- ness, and he lost no time in getting out.
 It is true that in a modified form this was sort of lynch law to which our respectable and respected colored citizens resorted. But we care noth- ing about that. What we wish to call attention to is the exemplary attitude of these colored citizens toward a so- cial offender of their own race. They did not shield him, nor protect him in any way. On the contrary. they took the lead in inflicting upon him the only punishment which it was practi- cable to inflict.
 These colored men of Phoenix have set an example which will be of inn the country, if they will only follow it. Much as all citizens deplore the evils of lynching, it is unquestiona ble that the public tolerance of mob law is due in a measure to the protection which the colored people generally ex- tend to one of their number when ha has committed one of the horrible crimes fer which negroes are lynched. To say the least, when one of these crimes has been committed the color ed people seldom show any anxiety to aid in the apprehension of the crim- inal. Too often the brute finds shelter and positive help in escaping. Quite naturally, the result has been the cul- tiY2tion of race hatreds. Many white peo-!e have jumped to the conclusion that all negroes are to be placed in the same class. Acquiescence in lynch ing. if not downright encourageme at of the evil, follows the growth of such a prejudice. Nothing could do more to lessen the number of lynehings than the instant and vigorous cooperation of the colored people in experimenting and punishing the members of their race who commit atrocious crimes.

A few definitions of Chinese geo graphical prefixes and suffixes may be of service in elucidating the nomen- clature of current war news. First. prefixes: Ia, as in Ta-ku. means great, and Siao, as in Siao-Ping- g-Thou
 means small Pei or Pc. Nan, Tung and Si are respectively north, south east and west. Thus the Pei-Ho is the North river, etc. Shang and Hit are upper and lower. Pal, Hei and Whang are white, black and yellow. Suffixes are more numerous and familiar Ki- ang, Ho, Tchuan, Ula, Muren and Tchu each and all mean river. Thus Yalu Kiang and Liao Ho are simply Yalu river and Liao river. Shui, Kou, Thsuan, Khi, Col and Ussu are un- familiar terms, meaning a brook or small river. Hu, Nor and Omo mean lake, as in the well known Lob Nor and Kosso Col, Pc. Tse and Tien mean a small lake or swamp or a town sit uated near such a place.

NORWEGIAN FIRE

Aalsesund. Norway, Jan. 24.-A fire
which swept over this town yesterday
morning destroyed every building in 1t

thousand inhabitants OF Aalsssuni

only a few damaged and uninhabitable
houses were left standing. The chill

The excitement among the people was
so great after the outbreak that all
attempts at leadership or discipline be-
came out OF the question. No excuses,
however, We're committed.
The destruction of the town was COM
plete within a couple of hours from the
time the fire started. Over twenty
steam fishing boats and many sailing
smacks were sunk in the harbor in or
der to save them from the flames. but
three steamers and many smacks were
burned. 1t is believed now that only
three persons lost their lives.

The man with the spectacles shook

after what 1 have told you" replied
the Recent Graduate. Each star
crosses the meridian-passes the mid

utes earlier each night. In the course
of a month a star gains two hours
and in six months about half a day.
So the stars now rising at sunset, next
June will be sinking below the hori-
ION at dusk. In six months the stars
that are now visible at night, except
those about the pole, will have given
way to the new set. BY the way, OF

into the brain by bolt point, nail or
something of the kind, as the piece of
broken skull taken from the brain
fit the hole in the side Of the head.
