made a statement in Chicago yesterday that
his matrimonial ventures were not love af-

from their money. Fattery was my chief
stock in trade. You can win a woman
quicker that way than any other"
Mrs Emelie Fischer Hoch. his latest wife,
called upon Hocn yesterday to make de-
mand for her money. After Hoch had been
brought from a cell into Police Inspector
Shippys Office the wife said;
John, you have got my money. and L

Unmoved by the earnest plea, Hoch an
swered:
Now. my dear, don't get excited. You
will get all your money back, and more IL
you do the right thing. All of these stories
about me are false. You leave me alone and
you will come out all right. Wait and we
will talk it over later.

What should the White men Of the south

speed, the two races working together for
their mutual benefit and for the develop

have liberty, equaT Opportunity to make
his living, to earn his bread. to build his
home. He must have justice. equal rights
and protection before the law. He must
have the same political privileges; the suf-
frage should be based on character and in
telligence for white and black alike. He
must have the same public advantages OF
education; the public schools are for all the
people. whatever their color or condition.

hearty and respectful consideration to the
exceptional men of the negro race, to those
who have the character, the ability and
the desire to be lawyers physicians, teach

We should give them cheer and Opportun-
