took for his subject THE Require

was crowded. a large number of those
in attendance being from the south
ern states. Washington's speech was
of the same tenor as others he has
made OF the race issue. In the course
of il he said:
ITO the members Of my race who re-
side in the northern states let me ut
ter the caution--that in your enthusi-
astic desire TO be of service to your
brethren in the south YOU do not make
their path more thorny and difficult
by rash and Incorporate utterances.
Before giving advice to the negro in the
south the negro in the north should
be very sure that what he advises is
that which he himself would be willing
to take into the heart of the south and
put into practice. Pc careful not TO
assist in lighting a FIRE which you
will have no ability to put out"

STEAMER LETTERS.
Fun and Fanciex For the Ocean
Traveller.


steamer letter has come to have
peculiar significance in the language OF
travellers. The scope Of such a letter
is as wide as the ocean to which 1t be-
longs, for in its development it means
anything from the gigantic baskets Of
fruits and flowers which, crowding the
saloons on sailing days, are a burden

tents, down to the humble postal card
without even a picture. which has been
scrubbed by some enthusiastic friend.
crammed in a post box and comes on
at the last moment by the supplement,
tary mail.
If ones object is simply to give
friend pleasure there is nothing that
can accomplish this more surely than
to send a package of letters to the
purser Of the steamer. asking him TO
deliver one each day during the yog-
age. After the first day out, when no
postman makes his daily rounds. when
the only news the wireless telegraph
brings is that some actress has again
lost her jewels or some great house at
Newport has been burglarized, per
sonal letter, with the least touch Of
home feeling in 1t, will appreciate in
value every second. Therefore if one
Is a good letter writer and can write
a seemingly spontaneous letter for
each day there is nothing that will give
the absent voyager more pleasure.
But, unfortunately, the talent of good
/ letter writing is bestowed on few and
those to whom fate has denied it must
devise something else as a substitute
for daily letters.
/ Where amusement alone Is desired
in a steamer letter the Lest way per-
haps is to have for each day of the voy-
/ age a verse with some nonsensical ac-
compartment. For example, in one
/ box a lemon, with stick of candy
/ through which it was to be imbibed,
had this verse:
If a body feel the motion sailing DER the
SEA,
| If a body take a notion very sick to be.
| Then a body needs a lemon. Here is one
for you.
May it prove a strength and comfort, as
tbs said to do.

first day tintype of three of her chums

BROADER GENERAL J. FRANKLIN BELL

ing one for the adjudication of the
state department the provisional gov
ernment, which is wholly under the
war department, will not mix therein.
No Secession viii Be Allowed.
The mode Of government of the Islo
of Pines as part of the Cuban repub-
lie may be altered or amended, but the
desire of citizens of the United States
in the Isle of Pines for territorial or
municipal government as part OF the
United States cannot be conceded by
any act on the part of the provisional
government Of Cuba or the war de-
partment. The president of the Amer
lean association of the Isle of Pines
has not vet interviewed Governor Taft
on this matter, but the most that is
likely to be gained will be the placing
of a United States military officer as
temporary governor of the island in
lieu of the present Cuban mayor, with
whom the relations of the foreign resi-
dents have not been pleasant.

The citizens of the United States
residents Of the Isle have adopted
unanimously a resolution "exonerating

isle to Cuba" and they feel that this
