behind his master on horseback. and the
dog that leads the old bird man. and
the one that carries his masters cane
or paper, and the dog that can do tricks,
bnt it has been left to an uptown ex-

that position till the expressman re-
leases him. At this he leaps irto the

Ernest Lyon, United States minister at
Monrovia, made public today.
He refers to the party of fifty-six col

ty died within a few months; the re-
mainder were ragged. starving. and
homeless, and finally had TO be sent for

Minister Lyon quotes a number of

rich without labor.

Liberia needs immigration, but a Sc

brains and money. Men who can make
business and give jobs; not men who

wanted was "a class that will come
here with push, energy, and a salt
sacrificing and industrious spirit in
them, that class that will laugh at i'm
possibilities, hardships, privation. and
the African fever. Then all things
would become possible unto them, and
in few years by patiently toil.ng, they
