ought to get out of the race.
After some minutes OF vitiol-throw-
ing at the coal black face Of White. Giles
was admonished to address himself to the
question. With profuse apologies to the
committee he said that he thought this
home for poor negroes proposed by White
was no good. Why" he exclaimed,
when negro is poor he Amt got any

He then said that Boston negroes were
opposed to the exposition because they
thought 1t was going to be a Jim Grow

exclaimed eve want Jim Grow show.
We want to show the white folks what
we can do. We want to show them now
we have gotten along They tell us that
we ought not to have jim CROW cars.
The only thing have against them IS
that there is no means OF separating the
bad niggers from the good ones
At this point again Giles was going at q
rate that did not leave opportunity to
slow down to say coored people, but ne
got back to the soil and to the good OLD
Southern word 'nigger
After his fifteen minutes had expired,
during which time he had also admonlsheti
Chairman Gardner that the latter didn't
know anything about the Niger since
he had come from place Where they
don't see one more than once q month,
Giles was asked to halt In his rapid fire
oratory so that Rev. White could have
his say. i,
White got up and in that cold. del!ber-
alto way that characterizes a Northern
negro parson when opening his sermon,
he enumerated his objections to Giless
plan. They were "fustly," secondly
and so on to the climax, which was that
these people had no plans except to spend
tho money, and that 1T was not safe to
turn s2so,0OO over to a colored corpora
ton responsible to no one.
After he had gotten through Giles was
boiling over, With clenched fists he de-
clared that they would spend the money
right.

A NEW SLEEPING CAR STORY.

Among the railroad visitors in town
yesterday was a. F. Miller, general
passenger agent of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway. He visit
ed all of the general offices in town and
at the Hollenden Hotel yesterday told a
story of one of the sleeping car porters
who was recently found asleep while
on duty This is contrary to the rules
of the St. Paul road, and the negro man
was in trouble when found by the in
spector on the Pioneer Limited. He
had his wits about him. however. and
in response TO the inspectors inquiry
as to what he was doing asleep. he
said:
III tell you how 1t was, boss. I
have only been with the company a
short time and before coming here I
was working on such and such a rail-
road. The line was SO rough that I
could not get any sleep. Since I have
been working for the St Paul the road
has been SO smooth that I Just could
not keep awake"
Mr.. Miller says that while the negro
had violated the rules, he was per
mitted TO keep his job on account OF
his wit.-The Cleveland Leader

The Justice shops.

Chicago and Indiana the Lafayette
Journal says:
The people OF Chicago are rejoicing
over the abolition of the justice shops
with their agents, the constables. BY
act of the legislature the business of
the justice courts henceforth viii be
determined by a municipal court There
is q chief justice and twenty as
sociates composing the tribunal IN
der the new law the municipal courts
and the agents of the law serve on
salaries. the fee feature being elimin-
ated Chicago has seen the fee system
as ii pertains to courts in its very
worst phase. Under the old law black
mail was common and justice was rare
The new order marks a great reform
and the people have reason for felcita-
don The situation in Chicago should
suggest to the people of Indiana the
ACCESSIBILITY OF abolishing the anti
Quated system now followed in this
state The Indiana method at pres
ent is bad. Monetary reward is made
the premium for the enforcement and
prosecution Of the law. The system
IS pernicious, being an insult to the
law Interpretation and prosecution
Of the law should be divorced from
fees in Indiana The coming session of
the legislature has an opportunity to
register a real reform on this question.

SPIDER BOUND ITS CAPTIVE.
Had Fly Safely Tied Up Before At
lacking 1t.

"One morning, when busy in my
workshop" says naturalist, "a large
fly, double the size of 9 bluebottle,
was caught in a spiders web in the
window close to where I was at work.
1t was held by two of its legs only,
and for some time the spider, which
was about the size of the fys head,
proceeded to strengthen its hold by
attaching numerous extra lines to the
two captive limbs, carefully keeping
out of reach of the others, which were
letting out in all directions in frantic
efforts to escape.
During a short respite in the cap
tive's struggles the spider cautiously
approached, and with its hind legs
got several turns of it's tiny rope
round one of the limbs that were free.
These tactics were carried on till all
the legs were firmly bound. 1t then
injected poison into one of the legs.
This soon showed itself, for It's dead
ening effects reduced the victim 5
struggles in a marked degree. The
poison paralyzes but does not kill.
Shortly after a second bite resist
ance ceased, and the victor settled
down to suck the juices of its fallen
prey. The struggles lasted quite an
hour. Next morning the fly was alive.
and the spider was still sucking out
its life blood"

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Dec. 5-Wheat-DuH and
uninteresting market after the little
excitement of yesterday. Prices. how
ever. had a hardening tendency. The
stock Of contract wheat here decreased
somewhat This induced quite a little
buying by shorts. Reports from the
Argentine Republic were unfavorable,
hail storms being reported. The
strength in both Minneapolis and Du-
luth also were bullish factors. The
buvine Of the December option was one
of the features OF the day One large
elevator concern bought over million
bushels. presumably covering short con-
tracts. The market closed steady with
very little change from yesterday.
Corn-Trade in the corn market was
very dull. prices We're a little frmer on
the wet weather throughout the west,
put the trade entirely in hands Of pro-
fessionals Cash sales to exporters
were small. being only 10000 bushels
The market closed steady to firm.
Oats-A little buying in the Nav
option was the feature Of the day. AL
though the fluctuations were not wide
the undertone of the market continues
firm Cash demand excellent. Cash
sales TO exporters 1850 bushels
| The market closed steady.

Pay Is Inadequate.

At Chicago a civil service postofflce
examination where it was hoped there
would be 500 applicants had thirty
nine. The cause is not the high stand
ard, but the low pay, says the Chi
cago Record Herld, which adds:
The pay offered IS entirely made
quate. In some branches of the serv-
ice It is just what it was thirty years
ago despite the great increase in the
cost Of living. Postoffice clerks begin
at $500 and increase slowly. The posi-
lions that pay above $1,000 are few,
and are really in the executive staff
rather than in the staff of clerks. Let
ter carriers in large cities begin at
$500 and may reach $1,000. Railway
postal clerks receive from $500 to ST.
800 but hundreds OF them with excep-
tionally short runs receive less than
the minimum of the schedule. If rail-
ways and manufacturing corporations
see the need at this time of increasing
the pay by 10 per cent. surely the gov
eminent can do the same. especially
since there is more reason for the gov
eminent doing it under present condi-
tions than there is for the railways do
ing IT. 1t will be good economy for
congress to heed the postmaster-gen
erals recommendations on this point
and be liberal with the clerks.

Will yield a ship dividend; five are the
average catch. 1t costs about $4,000
including advances to the personnel
later deducted from their catch per-
centage. to outfit a ship for a summer

s120,O00, Of which about $4,000 goes

DOG PROVED ITSELF HERO.
Gave Up Life in Attempt TO Stop
Runaway Team.

Near Pittsford a dog was killed in
a determined and intelligent effort to
stop a runaway team. Conrad Hoe
nick, a farmer, left his team standing
near a railroad track. Two little
boys were in the wagon. The horses
were frightened by a passing train
and ran away with the lads. One of
the boys was thrown out and severely
injured. The other remained In the
wagon, and while the speed of the
frightened team increased every sec
ond he made frantic efforts to reach
the lines and stop them.
AS the horses passed Frank Tous-
ley's place the latter's dog, which car
ried the mail and did many little
tasks about the farm and had almost
human intelligence, ran out, and
seeing the predicament of the boy.
attempted to catch hold of the dang
ling lines. Like a human being the
animal, without a sound, ranged HIM
self into line to seize the reins, and,
in his anxiety to do so, was struck by
the wheel and instantly killed The
boy managed to get hold of one rein,
and with it he turned the horses and
stopped them.-Warren Mirror.

Strenuous Treatment Of Children.

aged respectively eight and three
years. are two of the firnest and
healthiest bits of humanity, to whom
disease of all kinds is unknown. Dur

weakness in the balance of the mar

meet in the near future. 1t is the
ruling comment in the street that the

such action the advance Of ten points

measure this bullish factor.
