Can Live fedCcdply,
 "All history shows that no two races approaching in any degree ef equality in numbers can live peaqeably together un less intermarriage takes place. or the one becomes dependent upon the other, Mis- colgnation by law will never take place at the south That may be accepted as an established fact and settled, beyond question and for all time to come. Inter- marriage at the south need not be argued a moment Unless the south breaks the record of all history there is only one alternative left and that is that the negro must be dependent, in measure at least, upon the white man, as he cannot hope to dominate him.
 The negro in Georgia has now put himself as a dependent upon the superior race by his own public. general and voluntary confidence. The white people of Georgia would be grossly re- creant to ths acknowledged con- fdence and this trust if they did not give the assurance that every invidual black man with his family should be absolutely sure that he will receive justice in his civil rights. but his in- dustrial relations, his educational op- portunities and his moral and spiritual interests, This the people in Georgia have publicly proclaimed. All that we now ned in order to work out our problem necu ana Su1elyf IS Il6 SNIllpdluy duu not the criticism of those who do not still understand the great hnderances that are yet in our way.
 No Social Equality
 While we deny and disallow social equality, we are quite as free to grant and defend the negros' fullest rights in industrial privileges and business oppor- tunitieS.
 If the negro Is made industrially ca pablo and industrially reliable, the peo- pie of the south would rather have his service than such as could be rendered by any other people upon the earth But it is passible that the kind of education to which he has been encouraged in some quarters has given him a stand of self sufficiency that has lifted him en- tirely out of his place among the people whi would be more than to use him with profit to himself, if he were will ing to serve"
 zln conclusion Mir Northern said:
 Whist the negro Is in no way re- sponsible for the beginning of the plob lem he is most criminally responsible for it's wicked continuance.
 This responsibility is upon them and them solely. We expect to so hold them until they are controlled. properly pun ished and made obedient to law In this effort the better negroes are now render ing most helpful service and council"

SOUND PIRATES AT RYE.
They MAX a Rich Haul at the New Resi-.
dence OF j. III. Langlech.

RYE, n. Y, June 16.-Sound pirates en-
tered the home Of Jacob II. Langlech, presi-
dent OF the American Metal Company, in
this town late Friday night and carried
away thousands of dollars worth of silver
and valuables. Although the burglars
forced a rear window on the first floor and
must lave worked for more than an hour
collecting the booty and carrying it TO boats
on the shore. they did not arouse a single
member OF the family asleep or the floor
above.
The only clue left for the police to work
on is a number of footprints in the soft
earth leading from the house to the waters
edge. A general alarm and description Of
the booty has been sent to the police
throughout the country.
Mr.. Langlech came TO Rye about a year
ago and built g sloo.oao house in Kirby

Island S und. Recently the family came
out to Rye from their town house and
brought with them thousands O dollars
worth of silver and presents,

hour on Friday night and did not learn
of the robbery until Y sterday morning.
Besides taking al Of the family plate the
burglars carried of a tea set valued at s? 500,
which had been given to Mr.. Langlech by
the employees of the Am rican Metal
Company. ,
When Mr.. ~I.anClech reported the robbery
to the Rye police, Chief Plug made a per-
sonal investigation and took impressions
of the footprints.
chief Plug believes that there is little
doubt that the robbery was committed
by the Sound pirates who have cruised
the waters in and abou Rye for several
years, burgla rizing at intervals many OF
the homes Of the wealthy residents. He
says that the sloop used by the pirates

QUEEN MARGHERrTA UNPOPULAR
Advocacy OF MOnk Against Soldiers Made
Much OF by Roman AntI-CIericals.

'@SNh VIZ ~ 1b'
ROME, June Italy is growing de-
cidedly anti-clerical, and sven the tradi-
tional love and respect OF all Italians toward
the house Of Savoy is diminishing as the
effect OF the present anti-clerical feeling.
A recent incident trifing in itself Is sufi-
GENTLY significant Of the altered times.
Adjoining the barracks Of a regiment Of
~Bersaglieri, sharpshooters, there existed a
barren plot OF ground which the Wa Office
in an outburst Of generosity handed over
to the soldiers and ordered that it should
be converted into a Kitchen garden. This
was dom and the vegetables raised we're
sold and yielded the yearly sum OF 500,
which the soldiers expended on improving
their rations.
The barracks we're originally a convent
and the monks who were made to vacate
them in 1870 were allowed to retain their
church. Lately they petitioned for the
plot Of ground which the b~ersaglieri had
changed into a garden and the War Office
consented TO the restitution. Evidently
the soldiers complained to some members
OF Parliament belonging to the Extreme
Left party, that is TO say, Socialists, Radi-
Gals and Republicans, Who were only too
glad to bring the matter before the House.
They say they nave discovered that
Queen Margherita. the Queen Mother, had
acted as intermediary between the monks
and the War Office and had brought pressure
to bear for the restitution. 30 her name
was dragged into Parliament. she was
alluded to as "the pious woman" her action
was strongly condemned and her clerical
sympathies were blamed. The monks still
have the land, but Queen Margherita lost
much Of her popularity. Lately she sent a
telegram Of coincidence to the widow Of an
engineer Captain who was killed in a balloon
ascension, and the local press broadly
limited that her action was an insult to the
whole army, as her affections we're centred
on monks, and suggested that she should
travel outside Of Italy for a long time.
The incident is by no means closed, and
il seems likely that it will be used as a pre-
text for further anti clerical and anti
monarchical agitation.

POLICEMAN BADLY BEATEN.
Brother OF Ajax whitman Runs Foul Of
Many Perils I'm the Line OF Duty.

Policeman Nathan Whitman, brother of
Ajax, the department strong man, was on
post last night heal the corner of Norfolk
and Rivington streets when he found Sam
uel Felix of 100 Norfolk street wandering
along with a cut in his head which he said
he had received from Samuel Rosenberg of
lO7 Norfolk street. who had hit him with a
baseball bat.
Whitman arrested Rosenberg on a charge
OF felonious assault. Later he returned to
his post, and the father of the Rosenberg
boy, Joseph, who is a baker by trade, saw
Whitman and, according TO the policeman,
called him a vile name for arresting his son.
Whitman demonstrated and Rosenberg re-
peated the insult. so the policeman arrested
him also. He was just starting for the
Station house with his prisoner when Rosen-
berg hit him in the face. Whitman and
Rosenberg %grappled when IA man whom
Whitman says he knows hit him over the
head with a board. The policeman went
down, but managed to hang on to his pris-
oner
When he got to his feet again another man
by the name Of Benjamin Goldberg Of los
Norfolk street hit him with a brass rod.
The policeman went down and out this time.
and when he came to Rosenberg was on top
Of him and had bitten his face severely.
Whitman finally got on his feet and ar
rested Rosenberg and Goldberg also. but
the two put up a fight again and Goldberg
escaped. A crowd then got into the fight
and Whitman was forced to draw his re-
volver. Meanwhile some boys had told the
police of the Delaney street police station
about the fight in progress and the reserves
OF that station and also of the FL
bridge street precinct came to Whitman's
assistance. After locking up his prisoner
Whitman was taken to Gouverneur Hos
pital to have his face cauteri2ed.

MAY END THE CAMORR4.
Naples CarAb,neers Pressing Murder Prose-
cutions Police Under Suspicion,

cuuOns Police Under Suspicion.
NAPLES, June THE criminal asso-
citation known as the Camorra, which has
fourished since time immemorial in Naples
and has been regarded almost as a national
institution. seems doomed TO disappear.
Italians doubt whether it will, and for
eigners accustomed to visit Naples will
regret its disappearance, as to them il had
one advantage. If their watches or pocket
books were stolen, a frequent occurrence
TO foreigners at Naples. their guide or
courier by applying to the Camorra could
have them returned for a consideration.
while it is a well known fact that the police
in such cases were powerless either to catch
the thief or TO recover the stolen property.
The Camorra. owing probably to this
characteristic trait. is styled the Honorable
Society. Evidently the Naples police rec
ognized the advantages offered by it, as
they never made any effort toward its ex-
termination, but the Carabineers thought
differently and arrested about sixty promi-
nent heads OF the Honorable Society, among
them a priest, the spiritual director of the
association.
All the prisoners are more or less impli-
Gated in a double murder committed in
Naples by the Camorra. Since the cara
bineere succeeded where the civil police had
failed il has been suggested that the lat
ter were in league with the Camorra and
favored its exploits. The Government has
been questioned in Parliament as 10 whether
this was true, and the question was not
answered on the plea that a trial was pend
ing and II was not considered right to refer
to the CaIhorra until Judgment was rem
dered. but the question did not provoke
a denial. and this eads to the belief that
the police were really allied to the Camorra.

PHILADELPHIA, June l8.-The Rev. DR..
James II. Ecob, who was forced 10 retire
from the pulpit Of the First Unitarian
Church because he wore untidy clothes,
increased trousers and because he was not
good looking" told the congregation
what he thought Of them in his farewell
sermon to-day. "A bridge whist coterie.
a pink tea party" is how he characterized
the gathering. In the course OF the sermon
many Of the congregation left the church.
DR.. Ecob's text was Matthew, Ii, II:
we a piped unto you, and We nave not
danced; we have mourned unto you, and
ye have not lamented." He began by
saving:
Every heresy trial. every parish scandal,
every treaChorous attack upon a pastor,
is invariably justified by the wornout plea
for the good OF the church. Is IL not
quite time that some voice were lifted up
for the good Of the ministry?
Many ministers are resenting the demand
for a simply neutral decorative ministry a
ministry punctilious. a ministry that tip.

call fox fire. a pale, ~phosphorescent glim-
mer, the product OF decayed wood.
Another important question is that Of
salary. The minister frequently gives on
AT the end Of the year a large percentage
of his salary 70 meet the ever recurring
deficit in the parish finances. Some Of the
