have equipped it with all sorts of

so that it is scarcely open before it

The Negro men who by training,
ability and position are abundant
ly fitted to perform similar service
for the Negro as is being done by
Mr. Wolf and others for the He
brew, seem to have hitched their
destiny to star that is self-cen-

orbit the aggressive championing
Of the fullest Negro privilege.
Mr.. Booker Washington has
done much to prepare the Negro
for industrial opportunity and de-
serves the gratitude of all Ameri-
cans, whether black or white, but
it is to be regretted that an equal
or even greater force has not been
active in the safe. e.guarding and
preservation to Negroes everywhere
the legitimate fruits of his enfran-
chisement.
To be sure there ere local and
national organizations galore, but
their total measure of actual
accomplishment may be quite
fully realized by the smallest child
without the least possible fear of a
brain-storm or headache. Save
a partial success in one instance
which may be credited to the Nj
agra Movement, efforts along such
lines have been painfully futile.

st Louis, Mo-, May 15.-Con-
trary to precedent, Eugene and
James McGee, white boys, living
at No. 1920 Glasgow avenue were
found guilty of stealing chickens
from Archie Perkins, Negro of
1912 Glasgow avenue today and
sentenced to two years each in the
penitentiary. The case came un-
der the new statute, which makes
chicken stealing a felony instead
Of amisdemeanor, as formerly. At
HE trial one of the fowls was used
to corroporate Perkins testimony.
He called it to him and when re-
leased from the cage it started for
the witness stand where Perkins
was testifying.
Fourteen convicts, mostly Ne
groes, attempted to escape from
the Sumpter county chain gang
Monday in Americus, GA. They
sprang upon two of the three
guards, whom they caught una
wares, and wrested from them their
weapons. The remaining guard
ran, dropping his gun. AS the
fourteen convicts made off, Brady
Reddick, Negro convict, picked
up the gun and pursued them.
He overlook them before they had
separated, and covering them with
his weapon, marched them back to
camp. There he made them chain
to one another. He was able to
hold ten of them, four getting
away. The four had all escaped
recently and been captured at a
cost of $500 in rewards.
Atlanta, May 16.-The Farmers
Union of Georgia, with member
ship of $4,000, yesterday went on
record as opposed to the movement
to bring Immigrants into the
South. AT largely attended con-
vention held here a resolution was
unanimously adopted condemning
the immigration movement and
calling on the Legislature to make
no appropriation for the purpose
of inducing foreigners to come
to Georgia. The union oppose i'm
migration on the ground that un-
desirable citizens will be brought
into the state; that they will crowd
the native Georgians out of the
factories by working for lower wag-
es, and that the admission of SO
many will increase the production
of cotton and lower the price.
Colored man lauded as laborer.
During the debate speaker after
speaker, all of them farmers, paid
tribute to the Negro as a laborer
when false ideas are kept out of
his head. All said that the Negro
was infinitely preferable to such
foreigners as it was proposed to
bring South.

Simon Guggenhelm will be the sixth
Jew to sit as a member in the United
States senate. The first Jew chosen to
that honor was David Yulee. who rep
resented Florida from March, 1910. to
March, 1853 He was born In the West
Indies, and his name was David Levy,
by which he was known when he was
elected as a member Of the house Of
representatives in 1S41. The second
Jew in the senate was Judah P. Ben
jamin, who served from 1852 to 1857.
he also was born in the West Indies.
He represented Louisiana. Benjamin
r. Jonas was born in Kentucky and
represented Louisiana In the senate.
Joseph Simon was a senator from Ore

Denmark, for reasons partly Of gas
tronomy and partly Of trade, Is dis
tressed at the aversion shown by the
eel for It's shores. The fish Is now and
for some years has been abandoning
the Little Belt In great numbers for
the Atlantic, never to return People
are beginning to ask themselves II the
taste Of eel pie is to vanish from Den
mark forever. An ichthyologist who
has spent some time in observing the
creatures has come to the conclusion
that they always glide on in dark wa
tiers. This has suggested the bright
idea OF running a deep sea cable along
the track most frsnuented by the emil
grants and lighting the water up with
electric lights so as to fascinAte the fish
into remaining where they are.

through Liege are many shops selling
horse meat exclusively. horse head at

While It IL not forbidden for a meat
market to handle both beef and horse
meat, 1t IL quite unusual to do 80. deal.
ers carrying their separate lines. When
the meat is dressed and exposed for
sale the only noticeable difference is
In the color, which Is of a deeper red
and has a coarser fiber than the beef.
Those accustomed TO eating horsedesh
are loud in its praise and declare II to
be as palatable as beef and that many
persons eat horsehesh under the i'm
preston that they are eating beef.
There is no doubt that horsefesh il
growing In favor 1t sells for about
half the price of beef or mutton.
The dealers In horse meat are most
active In proclaiming the prime quality
Of their article, and a campaign of per
suasion is now on. They contend that
the horse In ancient times was held In
high esteem; that the eating Of horse
flesh was common before the eighth
century and that in China the horse has
been eaten for 600 years. The first
European people openly practicing hip
pophagy were those Of Denmark in
1907, when Napoleon invaded that
country. The Germans also attribute
that practice in their country to the
same person during the wars of 1915,
at which time the food supply was very
low. The first hippophagic slaughter
house was created In Prussia in 1S47,
also year Of great famine.
In Belgium the eating of horsefesh
dates back to 1870, from which time
It has been increasing steadily. In
Lege many colts are slaughtered for
sale as well as young horses. The ami
NAL undergoes the same rigid inspec-
ton given to beef, mutton or pork. The
number of horses and colts slaughter
ed for Liege in 1904 was 1887, and It
10 estimated at 1900 head for 1905.
The choice cuts of horse meat sell for
about 20 cents a pound, while the beef
commands about 35 cents
