FUTURE GEORGIANs.

Ray Stannard Baker in the Ameri-
can Magazine says: Not less than
10000 prospective citizens are grow
ing up in the Georgian Capital in
idleness and worse for lack of desk
space"
Atlanta is beautiful and progress
sive city with large infusion of
Yankee blood, but the indifference to
the. welfare Of the poor whites which
was created by the institution of
slavery still remains as an obstacle
to the development of a high grade
of civilization. To the aristocratic
oligarchy which controls the South,
the poor white man is as unassimil-
able as the Afro American; in fact
much more so, for inter-racial liaisons
were among the most common incl
dents of the old slave time

ASTONISHING INFORMATION.

One of the time-honored and stable
arguments of the southern white
brother is that the northern white
man has had no opportunity to study
the Afro-American and hence his OBJ
position to jimcrowing, lynching and
other approved southern methods for
dealing with the depraved and re-
tractory individual 1t is earnestly
contended that with the same oppor-
tun1ties for studying the nature of the
Atro-American, the northern white
man would eventually be completely
satisfied of the correctness and ne
cessity of>these southern methods. :
We do not propose at this time to
undertake. to controvert this opin-
ION, but to draw what we think is a
natural inference. The southern
newspapers, and northern ones, too.
tor that matter, take the greatest
pains to narrate, under the biggest
scare-head lines all the evil deeds of
the southern Afro-American, but say
almost nothing of his creditable ac-
tons, Hence the northern white
brother must necessarily be far more
densely ignorant of the good deeds
Of the southern Afro+American than
of those that are evil.

years afterward Official records do
not give single title descriptive of
suture of the pericardium Or heart
in the human subject This being
the fact, this case IS the first success
full Or unsuccessful case of suture
ever recorded So said the Medical
Record of March 27, 1897. The case
attracted the attention of the medi-
cal world, as have several other cases
Of DR.. -. 1t was only last sum-
mer that the Medical Journal, of
North Carolina, published a violent
article against Negro physicians, stat
ing that the formation of the Negro
head was such that they could never
hope to gain efficiency in such pro-
fcssion. About the same time, the
editors, Doctors Register and Mont
gomery, were writing the following
letter to DR.. --- in blissful ignor-
ance Of his race: "We have just read
a paper of yours entitled "A report
of two cases of Caesarean section un-
der positive indications, with terminal
ton in recovery that was published
in Obstetrics. You are an attractive
writer Is it possible for us to get you
to do little editorial writing for us?''
The fact that it was an Afro-Ameri-
can physician who first reached Pres
ident Garfield and administered to
him, after the assassination. is also
mentioned, but the fact that the Sur
geon General of the United States
warmly commended the course IF the
Afro-American physician is not staff
ed. We again urge all Afro-Ameri-
can physicians to obtain the eleven
publications of the Atlanta Univer-
sity.

ministration of the eighteenth pastor,

tor, 1884-1889 was the Rev. T. w. Hen

J. T. Jenifer. The changes on Fourth
avenue (Custom House Place. caused
by business and other interests have
been such as to render the building
as well as the location wholly insult
able as a place to worship; hence the
pastor, DR.. j. T. Jenifer induced his
congregation to sell the Fourth avenue
(Custom House Place. pay off the
debt $1,000 and purchase the lot 75x
1872 feet on the southeast corner of
Twenty-fourth street and Wabash ave-
nue. where fine church edifice 75x112
has been created of Gothic architec-
ture costing $4,000 with additional
cost of completing about; $40 900 more.
The building is a stone structure
with tower on the corner, and of style
and structure as is compatible with
the locality as well as growth and
progress Of the congregation, and also

work among the Afro-American peo-
pie. ..

In a recent address at Denver.
Colo, President James G. Merrill, of
Fisk University, proceeded to give
the people of that section some in
formation which will probably be as
tonlshing to many. Said the doctor:
We employ white teachers because
we cannot afford to hire colored ones.
Our alumni are employed along the.
lines in which they have been edu-
Gated, almost without exception. The
graduate of an Afro-American COL
lege has a more favorable chance to
use his education than does the aver
age white graduate, North or South.
Here comes in the law of supply and
demand, law as inevitable in it's
working as the law of gravitation.'
The doctor alludes briefly to the sue
cess of the Afro-American dentist
and physician in the South which
has been so marked that in nearly
every, town of any note in. the South
Afro-Americans Of these professions
there are men of these professions
who are not merely making a com
Portable living, but accommodating
wealth; and some of these men have
achieved very high rank in their
professions. But It is not the bust
ness of the Southern newspapers to
exploit these things; hence the ig-
norance of the yankees between
Cape Cod and Hell"

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.

Uncle Tillmans attention is respect
fully called to the fact. that society
in Washington is rapidly becoming
a mixture not only Of races, but Of
colors as we'll. There is a Sandwich
Islander a delegate in Congress;
Kansas sends a Kaw Indian as her
Senator and Oklahoma is preparing
to send some other kind of Indian as
hers, and a Filipino will doubtless
put IN an appearance in process Of
time. Thus it seems that while the
Senator is keeping the Afro-American
out. the other dark-skinned races are
butting in.

AFRO-AMERICAN HEALTH.

We have received from Prof. w. A.
burghardt Dubois No. II of the pub
LEGATIONS of Atlanta University, en-.
titled The Health and Physique of
the Negro American; for which we
return thanks to the distinguished ed
itor. 1t is a timely and scholarly
production, and, like it's ten predeces-
sors, should be in the hands OF every
intelligent Afro-American, especially
those who are physicians. Prof. Dit
Bots has brought to the investigation
of his subject wide acquaintance
with English, German, Italian and
French literature, and his researches
are OF the highest value. We do not
propose to review the work, but can
not resist the impulse to make one
quotation relating to an amusing in
cldent in the history of an Afro
American physician: Gone of the
most prominent surgeons in the west
is a Chicago MIRO American. He
was born in Pennsylvania in 1858. is
attending surgeon to the Cook Coun-
ty and Provident Hospitals in Chi

OF the Freedman's Hospital in Wash

which had pierced the pericardium:

Won Both the Bets,

Capt. Bragge once bet an athlete.
that he could not hop UP a certain
long flight of steps two at a time. The
athlete took the bet and made the.
trial. There were forty-one steps to
the fight and therefore after making.
twenty hops the man found he had
lost. He paid up, but accused Capt.
Bragge of sharp practice. Sharp
practice!' said Bragge, Indignantly,
Well, I'll make the same bet with you

ing to win his money back, assented.
Capt. Bragge then hoped up forty
steps in twenty hops, and, hopping
back one, finished in the prescribed
manner and won the bet

This society has had sixty years of
eventful history. It has purchased
four lots, erected four buildings for
worship, suffering the destruction Of
two church buildings by fire, removed
eight times, and under the Methodist
itinerant custom had twenty-four
changes of pastors, some of them
being scholarly men and able preach
ers and divines. Yet, through all these
vicissitudes they have kept in advance
with fast hold on the confidence Of
the Afro-American people and the es-
TEEN of the best citizens of Chicago
Quinn Chapel, A. M. e. Church, cor
ner of Wabash avenue and Twenty
fourth street, will observe it's sixtieth
anniversary 5y giving series of en-
tertainments, beginning on next Mon
day night, July %, and closing on Sun
day, July %, with a grand financial
rally.
Three years ago, Dr.. D. P. Roberts,
the pastor, came to this church an en-
tire stranger. The indebtedness, at
that time, was little more than
$4,000 It is now a little more than
$4,000 and the church is in a splendid
condition
= +. .F- F.. . Z = Z fH Z E u
During these three years, more than
4G0 persons have been added to the
church and the Sunday school has
grown so, that at present, the average
attendance is over 400 every Sunday
The Doctor has introduced several
new features since coming here,
among which, the supplied Or vest
ed choir is perhaps the PRINCIPAL. He
is particularly fond Of good music
and his is said to be by far, the best
choir in any of our city churches.
It is the wish of DR.. Roberts to
raise during this anniversary rally, at
least $1,000. If this is done he will be
able to report his debt to the confer
ence on September 1, as being but
$4,000 all told. The penny collections
for charita BILE PURPOSES have been over
$1,000 in three years.
