wANAMAkER TO NEGROES.
Tells Them Success IL Not n Matter
of Race or Color.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19The sixth an
nual convention of the National Negro
Business league, which had been In SEES.
sion at the Palm Garden, in East Fifty
eighth street, with Booker r. washing
ton presiding, closed with the reading
of several papers by members OF the
league. 1t was decided to hold the
next convention in Atlanta, Ga.
The feature Of the last day was an
address by John Wanamaker, former
postmaster general.
Mr. Wanamaker said:
I came to see what kind of people are
the colored business men of the country.
You are beginning at the best time Amer
lea has ever had. You are beginning with
great friendship and opportunities for
your success. You are at a moment of
great responsibility, because the world
Is watching closely every step you take,
TO measure your capacity for citizenship
and for right TO & place that you claim
TO walk along in the conduct of business
with other men, You cannot afford to
stop for a single minute in order to be-
come the ward Of the nation. The great
dream that you were to be lifted and car
ried has been exploded. You are like the
man who was kicked by mule. He was
not az handsome afterward, but he had
learned great deal.
viii voice the conviction Of my heart
that success or favor is not a matter OF
race, color or place; it Is a matter of
grace. And the same grace of God that
gives the white man the sense of what ed
ucation does for them and what charac-
ter does for them is just as much yours
as theirs.
IL you get UP and do something for
yourself YOU will not have cause to be
discouraged If you examine INTO the his
tory Of the business development of our
country you. will find that the greatest
enterprises have been built upon very
small foundations, which are solid now
There is not a set of principles for the
white man different from that of the black
man. They are precisely the same thing

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 19.-In
an informal election the residents of
Asbury Park decided against the prop
osition to issue licenses to hotels to sell
liquor by vote of 400 to 401. As the

on the liquor question, the result is not
binding on the common council, which,
it is believed. will proceed to pass an
ordinance creating license commits

police at last have applied check TO
the activity Of the central bureau Of
the League of Confederation Of Profess
sional Reform Organizations by de-
scending on a meeting of the central
committee and arresting ten of the
leaders present. In this committee are
engineers, lawyers and other profess

which the league Is made UP are com
posed ~of the most advanced reformers,
and since its organization the central
bureau has passed through radicalism
TO the verge of revolution Many of its
later proclamations and appeals have
been couched in terms almost as sedi-

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-"Big Tim"
Sullivan is to write book. why
not?" says the Bowery. "Byrnes wrote
q book, and the big fellow knows more
good people in a minute than Byrnes
ever knew" And so it is all over the
Bowery that Congressman Sullivan is
to become an author.
The book the congressman Is to put
FORTH however, will not mention names.
1t will not be of the Bowery and it's
characters. What local color there is
in 1t will be merely by way of con
trasting the various places in New
York with London and Paris. 1t win
give big Tins" views of England
and France as he saw them.
OF course the modesty of the repre-
sentative of the Bowery has caused
him to eyade the question when put di-
reetly to him, but TO his intmates he
has admitted that he desires TO see
"Why We Are Different" by +. ID.
Sullivan, well bound in half morocco
and calf, also in cloth, in most Of the
east side homes and libraries of the
country and hear the comments of the
English papers upon his impressions.
'Why not?" said the big fellow
"Why not? OF course some of the boys
don't quite get the idea. This idea of a
book kind of appeals to them because
of what Byrnes said about some of
them in his. But am not coming back
at Byrnes.
But every Englishman that has been
over here has spent couple of days on
a rubber neck auto or hiring some
tough young fellow to show sights and
then gone back home and put the boots
to US They have thrown 1t into the
Bowery until the fellows who illus
frated some of the books show pictures
of the daily murder on the BoWery,
with the undertakes waiting for them
and shaking dice for the bodies.
81 didn't have a great deal of time
TO make notes myself, but while we
were about | got Jack McAuliffe to
make few at my suggestion. Jack
is used to making notes. He has seen
many book made
.'He has done most of the sheet writ
ing on the book thus far But what l
will do, providing | finally decide to do
II, Is to show just how things are done
over there. l want to he fair with
them, but at the same time pick out
few of the things that our reformers
are always using the hammer on and
show they are not so bad that they
could not be worse.
II was treated fine, as well as man
could be treated in any country. and
do not want any one to get the idea
that l am going to abuse any one, and
so there will be no flights of fancy /
am not going to put down any bet in
the first chapter of the book and play
it Just to see how strong it can be
made in the sixth if it goes through.
''If l write a book on the things /

parison of the conditions with which /

terpart of which l saw on the other

Mrs. Potts was filled with nervous
alarms whenever she travelled, and
Mr.. Potts always had his hands full
in trying to quiet and reassure her.
"Algernon," said Mrs. Potts, wax

sleep in a southern railway car, "Al-
gernon, I want YOU to find out why
we are going at this fearful speed.
The car is humping and swaying till
L can scarcely see out Of my eyes"
Mr.. Potts sat up and looked out
of the window at the moonlit land
scape.
"See that bridge ahead on the
curve?" he asked sleepily. "Well,
we have to 60 over that in minute,
and probably it isn't very strong,
and they want to 60 over it with as
little strain and as quickly as posi-
bic. Now 60 TO sleep"

a Famous Woman Who Was Queer IN
Her Style Of Attire.

Nine. Mohl, British born, but the
wife of a man of letters In Paris,
was a famous hostess during the
middle of the last century. Fer
salon was literary rather than fash
ionable She was the friend of many
famous authors and artists and the
good angel of countless struggling
beginners in the arts. She was
equally renowned for her kindness,
her childlike simplicity and her mar
velous attire.
Taine relates that, having once
said to an English lady, ~Mme. MOhl
does not look to me like an English
woman" he received in reply
prompt Thank you"
One cannot wonder that in exter-
mails poor Nine. MohPs fellow coun-
trywomen should not care to accept
her as their representative, for her
eccentricities of dress were the most
unbecoming imaginable. She wore
flowing wrappers of extraordinary
tints and patterns at extraordinary
hours and frequently received dis
tinguished company while her head
yet bristled with curl papers of vivid
reds, greens and yellows, for 1t was
one of her small economies to use
up in this way superhuous handbills
and circulars such as are usually
printed in tints designed to arrest
the eve. The money saved in this
and many other odd kindred ways
helped TO swell her fund for char
ity, for the Mohls were never rich.
OF course her literary and artistic
friends could not be blind to such
startling pccuiiarities of appearance,
of which she herself was always Sc
renely unconscious, but If they
laughed it was with kindly and af-
fectiOnate laughter. 1t was once
suggested by a friend that a certain
rising protege Of hers should exc
cute her portrait, but the young
man refused.
Il dare not" he said "My forte
is black and white, and to depict
Nine. Mohl one must melt the rain
bow on ones palette She Is the
seven colors incarnate."
Then, as If penitent for any pos

IN THE death of Hon. John II.
Reagan Texas has lost one of her
most prominent citizens. For more
than sixty years he has served the
state in many capacities, and being
a man of strong convictions. un-
improbable integrity and great
courage, he deserved and received
the confidence of the people 10 a
greater extent than perhaps any
living American. The entire state
is in mourning over the death of
this great man, who, only three
DAYS before his death, was on the
streets of his home city, Palestine,
in apparent good health, greeting
friends and receiving the homage
due a good and great man. Judge
Reagan came to Texas in 1889,
when the whoop of the red man
and the Lonesome howl of The CO.
vote often broke the stiffness, and
lived TO see grand old Texas, the
state TO which has been given all
the best years of his life, take
rank az one of the foremost IN the
galaxy of states. He was ready to
