DEATH OF GREENFIELD

George Grenfell, an Englishman
who died recently, was one of tie
East successful of the explorers OF
the Congo country, of which he was a
resident for twenty years. He brought
to light the dwarf tribes of the mid
die Congo and explored and mapped
the river for 900 miles, and his maps
are the best in existence.
Grelifell never wrote a book, but
his reports Of his many discoveries
were published at length in the geo
graphical periodicals. Years ago he
married a bright young Negro woman
who had been well educated at the
mission school at Accra, on. tile At.
laptic coast far north Of the Congo.
She accompanied himN on many of
his geographical expeditions and has
been referred to by those who know
her as a competent and faithful help
meet. When Stanley was last in this
country he told Of ''Grenfells two
beautiful children

/. LOW RATES OEEEREp

Prof. Steiner, of Grinnell COLLEGE,
of Iowa. declared last night that the
new arrival from Europe is met on
the dock by enterprising political
workers and offered citizenship pa
pers at a special rate of $40 cash.
The above statement was maze in
lecture delivered in Washington
city. It is another evidence of the
great and growing contempt for the
laws Of the United States. There is
NO other nation upon the face of the
earth in which the laws are so nearly
dead letter. The solid south takes
special pleasure in eyading or nullify'
ing such laws as do not suit her taste,
and everybody seems to regard it as
a matter of small consequence. Cal
ifornia proposes to do as she pleases
about the Japanese, treaty or no
treaty, war OR peace, and pretty much
everybody thinks that that makes no
difference. The big corporations
claim the right to do as. they please

Speaking of the Cubans, Northern
newspaper remarks:
"One-third of them are Negroes,
resting under no social disability
whatever, but they do not. prove what
is so often claimed in the United
States, namely, that if the Negro were
only treated as man and a brother
he would become good citizen. On
the contrary, they are as belligerent
as the white Cubans and, like their
white brethren, are happy only when
they are wrapped UP in red and vel.
low cloth and are riding horseback in
a arade."
It is not only Claimed but has
been proved in the United States that
the .Afro-American, if treated as a
man and brother would become. a
good citizen; for thousands Of them
by the confession of all classes OF
white men are good citizens. Even
Tilln,an says that only five per cent of
them are criminals. No one has ever
ventured to assert that any kind of
treatment would make a good citizen
Of an Afro-American criminal or de-
generate; but this. at least may be as
serted that the race has never pro.
duced an Arnold nor a Czolgocz.

WHEN THE. CIRCUS COMES.
Indian Territory Editor Writes of the

Indian Territory Editor Writes .of the
Joy the News Brings.
Lives there a man with soudl SO
dead who never to himself hath said,
with many croWding emotions of joy,
''The circus is coming?''.
The circus is conling!" What
memories the old phrase rouses- of
summer morning Hong ago when you
watched the show train unload from
your secure position on top of the
pile Of ties, Of the street parade with
the county people lining up the side
walks, the Elare of many bands and
the stately solemn tread of the ele-
plants
And with what excitement you ate
your dinner. Your father probably
has denounced the circus as a tent
covered aggregation Of sin, but in his
vest pocket are tickets and small
coins jingle in his right trousers pock-
ct for the delectation of his boys and
girls. He does not really care for the
circus-that is, not until the familiar
odor Of tramped gras has struck his
nostrils and called to life things long
buried or he feels the soft, inquisi-
tive shout Of the benevolent elephant
feeling it's cool way up his sleeves
and sees the physically marvellous and
beautiful in the show ring, and yields
at last to. a strange tuniult of sensa-
tons which tells him that after all
human nature clings close to some OF
it's most primitive pleasures.
4 Then there comes over him wildly
memories of circus. days long ago and
Of the father, now long dead and
happy in the state reserved for all
good men, who took him, and he
thinks to himself that if there be one
thing that could make him desert the
celestial harp concert it would be a
circus day on earh with lot of boys
and girls to dring in it's gaudy glories.

NO CREDIT DUE SOUTH.

The Charleston News and Courier
quotes, with great pleasure, the fol-
lowing from the New York Sun:
1T is a fact, notwithstanding that
the shareholders of the last century
did more to uplift and help the Negro
than all the doctrinaires and societies
and governments of our day are doing
or are likely to do: and that, consid-
ering the result in view, is a very ade-
quate and pallid statement of the
case

LAST KING OF ANCIENT LINE.
The Sultan of Brunei Is Now Eighty
Three Years Of Ace.

The Sultan of Brunei Is Now Eighty
Three Years of Age.
The sultan of Brunei is eighty
three years of age--at least so he
told,me And while he stoops as he
walks, he. makes the appearance $rath-
er of a temporary invalid than of an
old man He seemed pleased when
I told him that he might pass for six
ty;; and indeed he might. for his face
is singularly free. from wrinkles. His
expression of benevolence suggests
that the late Pope Leo XIII Ibis
smile is engaging, albeit tinged with
sadness.
His house was ruling when the, Ro.
man empire had hardly ceased to
crumble. His ancestors gave the law
to a vast Eastern empire when Europe
was but a patchwork of barbarous
chiefs, and when, after centuries,
Spanish and Portuguese found their
way to the Spice Islands they laid
propitiating gifts at the feet Of the
Borneo sultan as yassaIs, humbly
begging the right to live within his
sdominions.
Brunei is still the metropolis of ma
tive Borneo indeed the name Bornep
is but a corruption Of Brunei yet
few maps show the existence of this
empire. X.

The Chicago Journal says:

Z Last year nine hundred and thirty
nine deserted. wives applied to the
Cook county agent for relief. In 1902
there were five hundred and fifty
seven similar applications by deserted
wives in this city and county. Thus,
within three years, wife abandonment
has increased nearly 100 per cent
The looseness of the marriage bond
among Afro-Americans has been com
mented on in vigorous terms by our
white brethren. But the above shows
that their own race needs a little, if
not much bracing up with respect to
the matter.

The territorial board of examiners which has just closed its quarterly meeting has passed favorably on thir- ty teachers who will shortly be given legal and proper authority to direct the mind of young America in Arizona in the channels it should follow. That the board is not careless in its work nor indiscriminate as to the quYlifi- cations of Arizona teachers, is 'evi- deneed by the tact that the thirty teachers who passed are just fifty per cent of those who took the examina- ton. sixty in number Two of them were granted diplomas. one other teacher was granted a certificate on a diploma and four other certificates were renewed.

GFRMANY'S SYMPATHY WITH IHE UNITED STATES
In the Trouble Which is Growing Be- tween This Country and Japan.

Berlin, June 11.--The attention of the foreign office and the diplomatic corps has suddenly been drawn to the relations between the United States and Japanese by long Tokio and Washington telegrams published in the newspapers today. Officials of the Japanese embassy are wholly reserv- ed upon the subject. The foreign of flee has no opinion to express. but the prevailing view at the embassies ap- pears 10 be that the successive incl dents are laying the foundation for a long period of i'll will on the part of Japan against the United States.
 President Roosevelt's difficult posi- ton and the constitutional difficulties in the way of intervention in the local affairs of California seem to be clear ly recognized. yet it is hoped that the United States will find a way to per- suade the people of San Francisco not to provoke the Japanese. The com ments of German newspapers thus far have been in sympathy with the Unit ed States.

JAPANESE WAR CLOUD
 0VfRCASIS THE MARKET
That Was the Most Influential Factor in Stock Market Trading Yesterday.

New York. June IA mood of de- precision creot over the stock market today which efforts to throw off proved unavailing. Trading was largely in professional hands. In consequence of the rather cratic movement of prices, there were abrupt fluctuations on com parativeIy small dealings. There was some disposition to attribute the re- current weakness to an important fail u-e in the contracting business an- nounced this morning. although the ef- fleets of this were slight so far as sur face indications went. The decline at the opening was attributed to this cause, but it did not go far before ef- fective support was forthcoming. The more influential factor in the weak ness was the bad impression caused by the acerbity of the public discussion in Japan about the relations with the United States. Paris resumed the liquidation of copper stocks in London. The mone- market here grew percep- tibly stronger. There was momentary rise after the announcement that Gov. Hughes had vetoed the two-cent bill, but it dropped abruptly with the dis semination of rumors of trouble with Japan. The last prices represented very slight recovery from the lowest Bonds were unchanged.
