Resolutions of Coincidence.

Whereas it has pleased Almighty
God to take from us our beloved
brother Sir Knight William jackson.
And while we fully realize that the
Icy hand OF death has been thrust
in our midst, yet our hearts are still
aglow with that love and friendship
we once had for him, knowing as we
do that he has taken but what He
gave. Though we miss him we can
but bow to the divine will of Him
who doeth all things well and hope
to meet him in the great beyond
where danger cannot come and
where death and sorrow are un-
known. He was a faithful member
loved by all who knew him, he was
a worthy Knight, true to his obiiga-
ton. We pray that his beloved
wife and children will accept our
sympathies in this hour of bereave-
ment, and that she may fully recog-
nize that she has in North Star

Charity at Christmas Time.

With its mantle of purest white:

Obscure the suns fair light.
The rich man sits ia his lordly pride.
With wealth in long years a

While the poor man sits on the steps

Chilled by the wintry blast.
The rich sit down to their gorgeous

On this glorious Christmas day:
The poor man looks for "a crust Of

His hunger's pangs 20 stay.
Decked out in garments Of wondrous
hue
The Pharisees sing and pray:
The poor in garments scant and few.
God help us,' is all they say.

Spread out her sheltering wings.

1.-THE Banking Law Journal
We take much pleasure in pre-
senting 10 our readers an article on
Colored Savings Banks written for
the Journal by Mr.. John Mitchell, Jr.
President Of the Mechanics Savings
Bank, Richmond, Virginia. Mr..
Mitchell, as a delegate for his bank,
attends the Conventions of the A
merican Bankers Association, and
has taken part in the debates for the
past two years; ne is a shrewd, mod
est and unassuming man, well post
ed In his business, and does not hes
itate TO speak his mind freely at the
meetings. In Washingt his re-
marks at the meeting OF the Savings
Bank Section were picturesque and
quite apropos, and were we'll re-
ceived. We are sure that our read
ers viii be pleased to hear again
from Mr.. Mitchell.
Mr.. Mitchclls interesting commun
ication shows that twelve savings
banks whose depositors are solely
colored people are now in operation
IN the South, a fact not generally
known here. which Is a very graft
flying showing: IL speaks volumes
for the progress of our colored
brethren, and we earnestly hope that
they viii persevere IN the ways Of
self-denial and thrift; 1t is only
through such and similar means
that the ever-recurrent negro prob
lem will be finally settled.

Amries Risen From the Grave.
New York Press.l


Credulity cannot stretch itself so far
as to swallow the report that General
Stoessel surrendered as many as 5000
prisoners to General Nogi. A careful
record of the mortalities on the Rus
sian side during the siege of Port Ar
thur shows that there was nobody
left in the fortress but the officers.
According to figures from many trust
worthy sources telegraphed daily from
Chefoo and other correspondents, and
conscientiously verified by the Japan
csc, four or five times as many soldiers
as were in Port Arthur when the in
vestment began have been slaughtered.
Baron Hayashi says the surrender
will release large army to reinforce
the divisions lined up against Kuro-
patkin. But how can this be? Our sta
tistics on the Japanese losses against
Port Arthur, compiled by the most re-
putable authorities in st. Petersburg
and Vladivostok, show that the whole
besieging army was annihilated early
last summer. If we accept the figurese
of each side as to the others losses
not only is it impossible to believe that
$4,000 troops were found in Port Ar
thus, but it becomes difficult to credit
the very circumstantial reports OF the
last few days relating to the surrender
of an army that has no business to ex-
list to an enemy whose present abode,
according to the veracious statlstl-
clans, is the grave.
