NEW YORK Jan. 27.-The United

receipt of reports from all parts of
the world showing that the year 1904
was the best year that the Endeavor
movement has ever known in the
twenty-four years of it's history. in

application of it's principles, in its
conventions, in its outreach into new
fields, into hitherto unknown lands
and IN devotion to the home churches.
In the Japan union there are 12S So

many colors. The other day saw Z
colored belle, young and buxom, and
conscious of her charms, board car
with all the airs and graces of a peacock
that knows he has an audience. And to
tell the truth, she was we'll dressed, save
for one thing, the great rings in her ears,
that made me think of her probable Sou
danese ancestress with:a ring in her
nose. The black tailored dress was neat
and trim, and fitted her fine figure we'll;
the white veil-a Haunting one, OF
course-was not unbecoming.
All this fashion emerged from one Of
the rickety buildings that show here and
there between tall flats on State street,
the windows stuffed with rags the ap-
pearance squalid in the extreme. But
no matter what the home, what the in
come, a darby when abroad would be
ashamed of himself if he failed to ape
the latest styles.
An exception occurs once in
awhile. We may speak of the darby
newsboys, the clippers" that sell on
the cars. They look poverty-stricken to
the extent Of not being able to- make
even bluff at style. Almost always they
are ragged, their shoes badly in need OF
cobbling, and often they can't afford q
strap for their papers, and have them
secured by a much-knotted rope. They
are a marked contrast to the doctor
one sees with his bag and air of pompos-
ity.

CATCHING AN AMAZON.
Lawyers Wit Turned Aggressive
Woman's Defiant Words
Against Herself.

About a year ago; there was -tnedsi .
court Of Kansas City q: case in which
there was retained as counsel Mr.. Bar
tholdt, who is a representative from Mis-
souri, in congress.
Among the witnesses for the opposing
side who were cross-examined by Mr..
Bartholdt, says the New York Herald,
were man of diminutive stature and
eheepish manner and his wife, an indivld-
ual Of Amazonian proportions and a cor
respondingly aggressive air. The husband
was evidently very much cowed by his
better half, for when he was being ques-
toned he would from time to time glance
timidly at the lady, as if to seek per-
mission to reply to the interrogatories.
During the cross-examination to which
the lady in turn was subjected by Mr..
Bartholdt she evinced considerable i'm
patience. Finally, when one question was
urgently repeated to her several times,
abe suddenly exclaimed in all angry tone:
"Now, you needn' t think you can catch
me that way. You've tried that three or
four, times already. No, sir, you can't
catch mel"
Madam" observed Mr.. Bartholdt, with
the poolitest Of bows, you have no cause
for alarm. I have, | assure you, no
desire whatever to catch you, and your
husband looks as # he were sorry he
did"

few things that are typically negro are
looked upon as typically American-for
instance, the "coon songs and "coon
dance"
We better not attempt the proper
term; We'll lazily evade it, just call him
plain negro, and go ON with our story.
We were about to say that last week
was marked by two matters in which
the colored race was center of inter-
est. Chief of Police O'Neill the other
day appointed one William F. Childs
(colore6 to the position of desk SER
geant, and he now will occupy place OF
distinction. inasmuch as he is the only
negro commanding police officer in the
United States. The Chicago papers
have been commenting on this, and
reminiscing that it was just "a years ago
that Mayor Harrison Gather OF the
mayor who has just stepped out of Of
fice) created precedent by putting a
cOlored man on the city's police force.
The other subject to which we made
reference is the negro theater the only
one in the world. 1t is called the
"Pekin," and is located in the very heart
of the negro district. The builder and
manager is a negro, the talent are all
of the same race. But occasionally in
the audience there is liberal sprink-
ling of whites, come to listen to the airs
from Dixie, come to see what sort OF.
affair the "Pekin" is. 1t is vaudeville
house, but differs from the usual vaude-
vile in that all the stunts" are fur
nished by dusky performers. Another
point of difference is that this theater
allows the audience to join in the melo-
dies, and. wisely. Where is there to be
found an assemblage of colored folk
that could keep still when music was in
full swing?

They seem bit bewildered in the

But let us omit this. We were speak

us go to church. The sermon will not

long-winded; but the music will be sung

Fire drills have become an estab-

And why not an occasional drill of the

There are two forms of criminal
activity in which the United States
enjoys an unenviable distinction. One
of them is lynching and the other is
train-robbery. Both are equally odious
and equally injurious to the good
name of the nation. Lynching is an
offense against civilized society which
can be dealt with only by the indi-
vidua! states, but train-robbery is a
crime with which the federal govern.
ment is competent TO deal as we'll as
the local authorities. and both acting
together should be able to make them
much less frequent than formerly.
