81 BLACK 5,Is !. d GOVERNORS. y
A Curious Piece of Old Time Con-
necticut History.

A book little known even to col
lsctors of American is volume ell
titled "Hartford in the Olden Time;
It's First Thirty Years." by Scacv",
whicl, was edited by w. NJ. B. Hart
ley and published at Hartford in 1853.
There is a chapter in this book enti-
tied "The Black Governors Of Con-
necticut," the very title of which will
excite the surprise Of most intelligent
people even in Connecticut, who have
never heard of any black governors
in the Nutmeg state except the gov
ernors of All opposite political faith,
who were, of course, politically black.
The title, however, is explained and
justified by little explanation. Before
the Revolution and down to period
as late as 1920 it was the custom for
the negroes living in the state to hold
an election on the Saturday succeed
ing the regular election day, choosing
one of their number as governor,
Sometimes, however, no election was
held the retiring governor assign
ing his Office to another. The man
chosen in either case was usually "of
imposing presence, strength, firm
ness and volubility, quick to decide,
ready to command and quick to flog."
tIe appointed staff of military and
judicial officers, who executed his Or
ders in all matters pertaining to col
ored people. especially questions per-
tanning to morals, manners and cere-
mCnics.
The fact that he had no legal status
in the province or state did not at all
trouble him or his subjects, and he ap
pears to have exercised very real
power, nearly always on the side of
morality and justice. The justice Of
the peace appointed by these black
governors were, as rule, extremely
severe i'll Furnishing people of their
own eclor who trangressed the law.
So generally was this recognized by
the whites in colonial times that when
slave committed some offcnsc it was
the custom to turn him over to the
black justice for punishment. Such
culprit always Jared much worse than
if he had been tried by the regular
courts.
Among the more notable colored
men who held the Office of governor
were: Quaw, a negro belonging to
Colonel George Wyllys; Peleg Mott,
who belonged to Colonel Jeremiah
Wadsworth; Boston, belonging to Mr..
Nicholas; John Anderson and Cuff,
who held the office for ten years. Af-
ter the abolition of slavery in Con-
nccticut the custom fell into disuse.

An Atlantic Tidal Wave.

The American line steamship Phila-
uelphla' which arrived in New York
March llth, from Southampton, re-
ported having been struck by huge
way on Friday evening previous. Up
10 that time the weather had been
good and a concert was just being be-
gun, when, without the slightest warn
ing, huge wave struck the boat. In
an instant all was uproar. Those at
tending the concert rushed pell nell in
all directions. Men and women
dropped on their knees and prayed,
while others ran on deck. The vessel
reeled and quivered under the shock
and for five minutes panic reigned on
board. Part of the ships bowsprit
was carried away, the iron railing was
twisted and many windows were
broken, through which poured hun
dreds of gallons of water.
Captain Mills said that in all his ex-
perience he never encountered a wave
of such height.

Panama Is All Riaht.

Contrary to some reports which have
been sent to the United States regard
ing the general condition prevailing in
Panama, according to a letter from
Preston King, Jr., formerly of Steam
boat Springs, the Americans now in
that country are in good health and
there is little or no discomfort among
the people. Mr. King, who is now en-
gagged as a civil engineer, writes from
Bohea to a friend in Denver, concern
ing the white inhabitants on the 18TH
mus, Mr.. King states there are few.
OF the small number, however. he says
most of them are enjoying good health
and are suffering no i'll effects from the
climate. This statement contradicts in
some respects dispatches which have
been sent from the Panama country,
many reports having been heralded of
deaths from disease and lack of sub
stantial nourishment. MIR King speaks
encouragingly of the conditions, and
for his'own part makes no complaint
of illness
While great many things could be
well wished otherwise" continues the
writer, taken all in all, believe mat
ters are going along as well as any
rational man might expect"

African Sleeping Sickness.

Prof. Robert Koch lectured in Ber-
lin recently on the sleeping sickness" +"
which he investigated for several
months in equatorial Africa during the
year 1905. Emperor William and a dis
company were present.
The malady, said the professor, had
been known on the west coast of At
rica since the beginning of the last
century and it had spread to the north
short of the Victoria Nyanza and then
entered German Africa. Probably 200,-
900 persons had died from the disease.
The infection was spread from human
to human by the sting of a fly. The
poison affected the usual health for
several days and then the sufferer was
attacked with fever, became incoher
ent, the glands were swollen and the
patient became enfeebled and event
ually was seized with the sleep mania.
Professor Koch knew Of no remedy for
this disease.

About the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice of it at first but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then l began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum

My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time Especially
at night, just as soon as / would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura

MONKEYS at University.

Monkey talk" is o be added to the
curriculum OF the University of Chi
cago. Cages are now in readiness for
about thirty simians being imported
for a novel experiment which will be
conducted until definite results are OBJ
tanned. The plan is to go thoroughly
into the question of whether or not
monkeys have distinct language
one that may be mastered by humans
1t is said the monkeys will be sub
jected to a series of experiments, pain
JOY, hunger. In each instance a record
will be kept of their expressions.
The experiments will be repeated
often enough to determine If the same
expressions are used to voice the same
emotion, and if this proves the case,
the sounds will be classified and an al
phabet worked out.
