that their voice In the government se- cures any benefit for them Therefore 1t seems to me that policy of the southern people in adopting laws which exclude impartiallv both the black and white ignorant and irresponsible, could not be criticised But 1t is said. but with what truth 1 do not know. that these laws are intended to be enforced by means of the discretionary power vested in cleo ton and other state officers so as to exclude the eolored voters with vigor under their provisions and to allow the white voters who ought also to be ex- cluded to enjoy the franchise. Assum- ing this to be true, still the situation is by no means q hopeless one. for the negro and the political power that he may in the future exercise.
 Tn the first place, if he continues to increase in intelligence by the acceptance of the educational opportunities which are being offered him under the influence Of Mir Washington in great institutions like this. and if industrialy he becomes a power and this gradually increases the number of his race who eligible to vote in accordance with law, he in- troduces into the electorate a body of individuals well qualified to act with common sense and judgment, and who by their very position in the community give weight to the vote they cast. Coming to the ballot box in small numbers, as com pared with the total number of the race, SO as 10 relieve the fear that an ignor- ant majority will take over the govern ment, their votes and their support will ultimately prove attractive to the parties into which the white race must inevitably divide. If then. with the independence of thought and action which economic independence will surely give them they divide their votes between contending parties their votes will be sought in- stead of suppressed, and the votes of ignor- ant whites will be more vigorously ex- cuded Such q gradual acquisition of political power will secure more real political power and ability to help the negroes in their development than when their right of suffrage was unrestricted. l cannot put myself among those pes smlsts who regard the settlement of the political question in the south as be- yond hope"

Fitting Out for the Season.

Capt A. J. Kenealy in The Outing Maga
 zine.
 In fitting out a small craft for the sea sons work much will depend upon the care with which she was laid up for the winter. The boat. at the end of the sea- son, should have been hauled out and so protected as to keep rain or snow from penetrating her interior, while at the same time given adequate ventilation to keep her sweet and clean and to guard against the danger of dry rot-a most in- sidious disease which attacks the stoutest timbers and causes them to crumble like punk Dry rot is caused by want of ven tilation. Many yachts by this fault have Like mildew in sails. dry rot can be pre- vented only by unceasing vigilance com bined with perfect ventilation. There is no preparation in existence that will rend- CT wood impervious to injury from dry rot When once 1t attacks timber the effected part must be cut out and renew ed If an inch of the decayed wood is left it will spread like gangrene to the new timber. Thus when buying a second hand boat 1t Is well to have her examined by an expert to see whether she affected by dry rot. If so she is a boat that prud- ence recommends a purchaser to beware of and shun. Should your craft unfortu- nately have contracted this disease. I recommend heroic measures. Replace the effected parts with sound wood and in future take care that proper ventilation shall prevent recurrarce of the aiinlent-

DAVID WAKEFIELD IN A RAID.
Tale of a Blundering Officer Who
 Went to the Wrong Place.

David Warfield has a sense of humor. It was badly strained a few nights ago by happening at the Bijou theatre, New York. where he was playing ''The Music Master for the 515th time. The occur renee Is thus humorously related by Charles Darnton, dramatic critic of the
 Evening World:
 'There was a wildly exciting time dur ing a recent performance of .The Music Master" when policeman raided the Biiou theatre under the misapprehension that 1t was a pool room. The stage car penters electricians and two or three stage hands were willing away the time with a game of penny ante in the property room, when In walked big bluecoat and, swelling out his chest, an nounced: "Youre under arresti' "What for?p chorused the astonished group.
 Never mind what for. but put on your coats and come with me thundered the l cop ''
 ssh hi For heavens sake don't make such a noise" implored the stage hand.
 "There's a quiet scene on "Yes. these places are usually run on the ouiet" was the sarcastic rejoinder. | Come on now; don't keep me waiting. | I'll take care or these things -al i lie swooped down upon the deck of care ana | thirty-six cents.
 MT Warfeld, who was tearing hf4 hair over the noise that was disturbing the performance, sent down to find out what the racket was about.
 sTell him the place is pulled said one of the players who had lost everything but his sense of humor. "Cut the talk and get move on you,'
 ordered the cop who was running about 1 for more "evidence."
 He was about to lead the wicked gam
 blers to a waiting patrol wagon when a breathless captain put in an appearance. .'Whats the matter with your he de-

Education Comes Third.

'The next best means of lifting a race out of barbarian into civilization is uni versal education; and this is a means new within century which has not yet ob- talned an adequate development. In this agency for lifting up a race the Ameri- can people as a whole seems to have more confidence than in any other: yet education must certainly be placed third in the list of civiizing forces Habitual productive labor and family life must precede it; and the education of children cannot prevent the decline of any people whose habit of labor or family life has been impaired The keen desire for edu- cation is a good measure of the capacity of any people to rise. A keen desire with imperfect means will accomplish vastly more than a faint desire with much bet fer means. The intelligence of popula- tion may also be fairly estimated by their willingness to spend money on the edu- cation of the children, just as the intelli- gence of father and mother may be measured by the pains they take to pro- cure education for their children. As a rule. the larger the proportion of the public revenue devoted 10 education, the more intelligent the population which orders this expenditure. The most pro- gressive nations have now definitely come to the conclusion that there is no mode of increasing industrial and commercial ef- ficiency so effective as universal educa- tion sufficiently prolonged to effect per manent improvement in the observing and

ORIGIN OF BRIDGE.
Great Whist Game is Said to Have

From the Saturday Review.
The real origin of bridge IS somewhat
shrouded in mystery. The game is said
to have originated in Russia. but there is
not satisfactory proof of that statement.
1t was first known under the title of "b,-

doubt gave rise to to the idea that it was
of Russian origin. although as a matter
Of fact, the word 'baritch'' is not to be
