 Springfield, Mass, Aug 1S.-"Why Remain Bellboys and Porters Al ways?' was he subject of a scathing arraignment of the colored youth of to- day by the Rev c. H. Yearwood, pas tor of the Loring Street Methodist church. leading negro clergyman of New England.
 Its no use bewailing the fact that one is colored," said the Rev Mir Year. wood to a World correspondent With the possible exception of Presi- dent Roosevelt, Booker T. Washington is the most widely known, living Amer lcan. Not all colored young men can become Booker Washingtons, but they can all achieve something if they try.
 Too many colored young men wal, for opportunities while they should be making them. They should get into some kind of business and make it success and not squander all their earn ings. Many colored young men arv industrious seekers of something eas, to do and would rather be walters han ding drinks for gamblers than work upon a farm and eventually own one. The time when respectable colored families can rent decent homes will not come until colored men acquire real estate"

WALNUT BEACH TEAM,

The Walnut Beach team again showed their ability to hit and field the ball Wednesday by showing under the BlOmos from Waterbury by the score of I-4 in five inning game The game was lacking in excitement. as the Beach team had the pitcher. Don ahue. who by the way is a brother of the Donahue of Cleveland American league fame. entirely at their mercy. and this together with poor support made the game all one-sided. On the other hand the Beach battery had everything their one way. Dalton putting eleven strike outs to his credit in the five innings. Carter caught a fine game and his throwing to second was one of the strongest features of the game coupled with the work of Lynch on second. who saw that the throws made good every time. Manager Porter of the Beach team has several games on in the near future with strong teams. and there is some hard work ahead for the boys of his nine.

 "One of the great bars to the conclli-

 sired by the whole civilized world. is
 the difference between the pIenjpo-
 tentiaries on the question of Sakha-
 lin. The Japanese pretend that Sakba.
 lin Is really an organic part of their empire. They say it only came into Russia's possession through force and that Russia would lose little in cediny it back to Japan as she has shown her inability to exploit it's resources. having used if only for the coloniza- ton of criminals. The Japanese people. they say on the contrary. have always considered themselves the rightful owners and having now taken it by conquest will never submit to relinquishing 1t. Of course, it is cer- tain that the Japanese once in legal possession of the island. will accom- plish there much more than the Rus sian government has in the past. not only in an agricultural. industrial and eolonizing way. hut especially in a and strategic way. We can not deny that the success of their arms has given them certain claims to the island hut these are the only claims they possess.
