SATAN IN THE LISTS.

If reports and public statements be
true, there is in progress at Boyd
Lake, Maine, what might almost De
termed a hand-to hand battle between
a reyivalist and the Devil. We are ali,
of course, familiar with the methods
of the holders of protracted meetings
in fighting his majesty of the under
world from the safe vantage ground
of the pulpit, but such efforts have
usually been confined to pointing out
to the congregation the work which
had already been insiduously accom-
plished in their hearts and urging
them to lead a better life. Beyond the
assertions of the pulpit, we see moth
ing of the Devil at a revival. In fact,
his tactics usually seem to consist in
playing a waiting game. 1t is only
when the preacher has routed his
enemy hip and thigh and gone away
rejoicing that the old, gay cynical
laugh is heard again at the shoulders
of the converts In Maine, however
the REV" Thomas r. Francis has SO
excoriated the Devil that he has come
to his defense in his proper person. He
is seen O. nights. He comes into the
rooms of jealous converts. The con-
gregation walk nightly to church with
Winchester rifles on their shoulders to
protect themselves against personal
violence at the hand of the Arch
enemy.
The Devil is no myth at Boyd Lake,
as the testimony of one of the con-
verts will! show:
"At one of the meetings a man rose
to testify and said that the night be-
fore he was awakened to find the Devil
in his room. He described the APP
pearance of the Evil One and said
that he exhaled the Odor of brim-
stone and was covered with blush
light. AS he looked he heard the bark
of a dog outside the window. Instant
ly the Devil gave a jump and disap-
peared through the window, to be seen
no more"
"Rev." Francis and REV" Bradeen,
who assists him, take the Devil serious
ly, but fight with bravery and with
faith. At the beginning of the meet
ings they fall upon one another's
neck, weep, hug and kiss, cry to the
Lord to save them, fall upon the floor
and writhe about"
Francis is thus described:

CHESTNUT GONE WRONG

Charles w. Chestnut, the negro poet
of Cleveland. Ohio, in a recent address
before the Boston Literary and His
torical Association" successfully
dashed the hopes of those who had
been mislead by the beauty of his
verse into looking with something of
admiration at the man himself, by
advocating inter marriage between the
races.
Speaking on Race Prejudice, Its
Causes and Cure" Chestnut said:
1.-The most difficult of the differences
which hold us aaprt from our fellow
citizens is the difference in color.
Should this difference disappear en-
tirely, prejudice and the race problem
would cease to exist. | not only be-
lieve the mixture of races will in time
be an accomplished fact, but that it
will be a good thing for all con-
cerned."
Coming from a man of Chestnut
ability, the above is particularly de-
plorable since it goes far to prove that
the idea of ultimate social equality is
ineradicable from the ambitions of the
black race. Just so long as that idea
prevails, as that secret hope is har-
bored in the mind of the black. just
so long will the race problem" re-
main unsolved. 1t is that dire obces-
sion born of physical emancipation in
weak and childish brains which has
harried the South and stalled the
negro on the road to his rightful des-
tiny as a useful citizen.
In his poems Chestnut has sung OF
the negro i'm homely lines fuK of pathos
and the mystery of the inbred music
of his race. In his work there has
been a refreshing absence of that ape
like quality which has caused most
negro attempts at literature to fall sc
swiftly to the ground. 1t looked as
though the race had found its mouth
the simple life of the cabins, the up
reach of lately savage souls were &c
find accurate translation at the hands
of one whose blood made possible the
feat.
To think that this young negro
apparently helped and not un-spoiled
by the privilege of an education
should fawn before this Boston society
of negro-philes and make himself
ridiculous, is positively disheartening.
The old rule will hold yet awhile:
That it takes one hundred per cent
of white blood to make a white man
and only one of negro blood to make
a negro.

Must Move Past Durham.
Raleigh, n. {
Durham Recorder.

Durham Recorder.
Just now an absorbing and interest
ing question in Durham is that of
closing and keeping closed the houses
of a disreputable character. Thls
crusade was brought about when
Raleigh. following the Rogers-Dock-
cry tragedy, began to drive out wo-
men of this character. They started
to locate in Durham and were told to
move on by Chief WoOdall Then
they began to settle around Durham
and Sheriff Markham took a stand
against them. Regarding the stand
taken by Sheriff Markham the follow
ing is copied from the Morning Her
aid of Sunday:
s"The women who were made to
move out by Chief Woodall and his
men are now located at the brick
house below East Durham. Sheriff
Markham has issued orders that they
must find more congen1al quarters.
Unless these orders are obeyed there
will be trouble and plenty of it for
those who violate the instructions.
But the women, at least some OF
them, appear in a defiant mood.
When told that they must move on
the women were themselves in some
what defiant mood and later 1t was
stated that they would be backed by
some Of the young men, these furnish
ing, it was stated money on when
to make fight in the courts. This is
the information that has reached the
ears of Sheriff Markham. But TO use
a slang phrase the defiance OF the WOO
men and the threats of the men Will
cut but little ice in the matter.
There may be further defiance but
there will be trouble in which the
poor deluded women will be sufferers.
A move on will be the only thlng that
will prevent this trouble.

vile seems to be the programme map
ped out by BERTHE Helm, the young
girl who was arrested for masquerade
ing in the garb of boy at John Lever
ones saloon, on Market street below
Fifth, few months ago.
At her trial in the police court fol-
lowing her arrest BERTHE told the judge
that she would discard trousers for
ever if he would temper justice with
mercy. The ruling passion got the bet
ter of Bertie however, and for the
past few weeks she has been playing
the boy in this city. In Jeffersonville
she has been careful to stick to the
garb of her sex.
The latest revelation of Berries
pranks came to light through James
and Larkin Presley, of No. 92O Pres
ton street, who called at police mead
quarters in Jeffersonville to ask fol
assistance in LOCATING boy VINO, they
said, had given the various names OF
Albert Haines, Clarence Albert and

from their homes on the previous
night with two watches. On the same
night the watches were recovered and
returned to the PresSleyS by John
Rider of Jeffersonville, who said that
he had gotten them from his niece,
BERTHE Helm.
BERTHE left the Pressleys a boy just
reaching manhood, and when they
went to Jeffersonville about the watch
che" had not returned home. Late
yesterday evening che" arrived, but
had changed meanwhile into woman.
Where she makes the change is a
mystery, for she has repeatedly visit
ed the Presseys and has stayed with
their grandmother. but yesterday they
learned for the first time, they de-
clare, that she was a female.
