The negroes of Florida and other
States where they have the news are
rejoicing over a decision of the Su-
preme court of Florida declaring I'M
constitutional the "Jim Crow street
car law which became effective on July
first. There are two street car COM
panies in Jacksonville. One, owned by
Boston capitalists, is reported to have
paid $4,000 in an effort to prevent the
passage of the bill. The other is large
ly owned by colored people, and was
not affected by the boycott Immediate
ly instituted against the Boston COM
pany. Similar action was taken in PEN
sacola, the negroes there refusing to
ride in cars which We're divided for the
races. A colored law firm of Jackson
vile, Messrs. Wetmore and Purcell, at
once prepared a test case their belief
being that the law, which also confer
red police powers upon the conductors
was contrary to both Federal and State
Constitutions, violating particularly
section two of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution. Their
contentious, were upheld by the Circuit
Court and, four days later, by the su-
preme court of Florida
This decision pleases the negroes and
the railroad companies, and probably
the white folks of Jacksonville wont
cry longer over it, especially as they
had to take back seats in the cars own
ed by the negroes.

AN INDIAN LEGEND.

An Indian story that has been hand
ed down and is still believed by many
Indian tribes, is one about the trans
formation of leaves into birds. Long
years ago when the world was young,
the. Great Spirit went about the earth
making it beautiful. Wherever his feet
touched the ground lovely trees and
flowers sprung up. All summer the
trees their short, green dresses. The
leaves were very happy, and they sang
their sweet songs to the breeze as it
passed them. One day the wind told
them the time would soon come when
they would have to fall from the trees
and die. This made the leaves very bad
but they tried to be bright and do the
best they could, so as not to make the
time come and they let go of the twigs
and branches and fluttered to the
ground. They lay perfectly quiet, not
able to move, except as wind would
life them g.,
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were Csc lovely that he
did not want to see them die, but live

CUBA'S GOOD LUCK.

Spain has shown that she can learn
since her little trouble with tire United
States. A Spanish newspaper has been
making a study of conditions which
now prevail in Cuba, ana after print
ing two or three columns of statis-
teal informa ton, showing what the lit
tie republic is to-day compared with
what it was as a colony of Spain, feels
in fairness to draw this conclusions:
These comparisons are far from fatter-
ing to our colonizing methods and to
our public men. In order that Cuba
might liken herself to the great mod
ern nations in hygiene, Instruction. gov
ernnlental mechanism. industrial de-
velopment, etc, she had to escape from
our sway. Had she continued subject
to Spain, she would still be afflicted
with the troubles from which she SUI
fered before the revolution.
That's about the size of it. We help
ed both Cuba and Spain by our action,
and showed ourselves to be benev-
olent and benefcent people.

THE PHILADELPHIA REFORM

THE PHIL3DELPHIA REFORM,
The reformers in Philadelphia are not
yet tired out. and they are accomplish
ing something. Investigation of the
voting lists has shown that 81, SIT names
were fraudulently registered. Dead
men to the number of thousands were
classed on the books as qualified voters.
Even cats and dogs, in the great desire
for more names, were recorded and
votes were cast in their names. In one
ward $3.50 names out of 1885 We're lille
gally enrolled, and much worse show
ing was made in district where out of
a list of two hundred and ninety-four
registrations only siXty-seven We're
bona fide. And yet in spite of all these
revelations Director Potter is not 5atis-
fled. It is widely believed that nearly
one hundred thousand unlawful ballots
were cast in recent elections, and the
head of the police department will
cause another canvass of the records to
be begun. Progress is also being made
in the prosecution of the politicians re-
sponsible for the corruption brought to
light. The other day the attorneys for
the Committee Of Seventy succeeded for
the first time in producing such strong
evidence of the connection of machine
workers with the compilation of the
fraudulent voting lists that Magistrate
German at the close of the hearing
held the defendants in heavy bonds for
trial.
Good luck to the reformers. They
have a hard task before them, but if
they do it well they will be useful and
famous.

Fantasia, with full orchestral ac-

used upon that occasion was again

cause Mr.. Fraemcke has often play

concerts in New York and Brook

himself of the tremendous tonal
powers of the SteinertOne piano.
His success was instantaneous; and
when the people left the hall they

the, sweet and delightful music
evoked from the Steinertone grand,

which is cordially extended to ali,

The Wheel.

The wheel turns and the water fails.
Shall we not linger here and rest!
The sun grown weary OF the day
Has lit his campfires in the west
And far away
A late bird calls
The wheel turns and the slow hours
fall
From off Times spindle. You and I.
Shall we have woven cloth OF
gold,
To make love brave in. ere we die
Or grow too old
To hear him call?
The wheel turns and the water falls.
The singing stream that knew the hill
Leaps to the wheel, and broken
there,
Goes coursing EDWARDS, singing still,
And hasting where
The deep sea calls.
The wheel stops. See, the shadows fall.
The sleeping sun no beacon shows.
BELOVED, we too. even as the stream.
Have known the breaking wheel it
knows;
But hold our dream
Till Death shall call.

A renewed effort will be made by the
surgeon-general of the navy to have
the naval station at Port Royal, South
Carolina, turned over to the bureau of
medicine and surgery as a hospital for
consumptives and as a detention camp,
both of which institutions are greatly
needed in that service, and it is thought
that this abandoned station, which is
now going to decay, might very prop
erly be used for naval hospital pur-
poses. It is believed by the naval sur
geons that Port Royal offers great adj
yantages as a place where consump-
tive patients in the service may be sent
for recuperation. There is also equal
need for a detention camp where epi-
denies which break out on board ships
may be treated. At present there are
no such things in the naval service, and
1t is not understood why there should
pc such facility lacking.

In the State of Durango, Mexico, is a
great mountain, two thousand feet
high, which is said to be the most re-
nlarkable mountain in the world. 1t is
almost solid iron, and is at the base
three-quarters of mile in thickness.
This iron mountain has for some years
been the envy of iron manufacturers,
who have wanted to get a lease of it,
and so work it; but the government has
steadfastly refused to allow this to be
done until recently, when a contracts
was entered into between the govern
flent and some New York capitalists
for the operation and development of it
upon a partnership basis. The ore obs
tanned from this mountain is said to
yield about eighty-seven per cent. pure
iron.
