Got Tired. Of Her Job.
Chicago Examiner.

Chicago Examiner.
Nanny Catching, the famous old
brown and white goat Of the Univer-
city of Chicago has quit her job. Her
desertion so deeply affected the doc
tors and medical students that they
called upon the police to aid them
to finG Nanny and induce her to
come back home.
The police believe that Nanny tired
of her job. It was her duty to catch
every possible disease that the doct-
ors and students might wish to study
and she had hardly known we'll
day since she became the goat FOR
laboratory experiments.
For cerebro-spinal meningitis, Nan
Catching travelled the route to Der:
beri and cholera and back again to
tincaneatis, uttering frequent COM
plants, but all the time making noble
sacrifices in the great cause Of
science.
Her task, however, finally palled
upon Nancy and when the jailer had
10 go look over for her yesterday il
her pasture lot to invite her over to
the laboratory to have a mild attack
of diptheria, the goat was gone to
other quarters.

Capital city is the childrens great
open air Easter festival.
Each year at this time, the
weather permitting, scene of. life
movement and color is witnessed
in the Presidents park, Immediate
ly back of the White House.
Little tots and big tots, white
tots and black tots, rich tots and
poor tots, all comingle in sportive
playfulness.
Eggs plain, or dyed in fancy col
ors; boiled hard, soft and medium,
are rolled down the grassy slopes
and overtaken by little flying feet.
An egg becoming bruised and
battered and put out of the rolling
is straightway peeled, peppered
and salted and showed into a little
macerater which grinds and stores
it away as fuel for the eagerly rest
less and joyous activities of these
human little engines.
Until recent years access to the
grounds could be bad by any re-
spectacle person at any time dur
ing the day, but it was found that
damage to the grounds and shrub
cry was so great that some restric-
tions must be imposed, SO that
this year children were admitted
between nine and one O'Clock and
older people, only when accompan-
led by little folks.
In this connection it is reported
that number of little fellows reap
ed respectable harvest of nick
els and dimes by hiring themselves
as escorts SO that strangers might
enter the grounds.
The weather Sunday and Mon
day too, much to the regret of a
great many persons, old and young
who had new clothes to wear as
well as eggs to roll, was of pro-
hibitive character; rain had fallen
as had also the mercury, precipi-
tating a combination of cold and
dampness, not at all favorable to
the enjoyment of a lawn party.
In consequence there were not
more than 300 or 400 youngs-
ters at the fete whereas under
more favorable weather conditions
there would have been thousands

Government meat inspection in
this district.
The case of Walker was referred
unofficially to high officials in the
Government meat inspection de-
partment but the local packers
were given to understand that he
will remain here until the govern
ment sees fit to transfer him. In
spectors are constantly being
changed around the country, and
they arc never located in one city
for any particular length of time.
In the cities also they are NOV
ed about the general system being
te have man a month at one
place and then transfer him to
some other packing house.
There is a scarcity of men quail
fed to act as meat inspectors, as
many who are able to do the work
will not take positions at the sal
aries offered by the Government.

colored.
Mr.. Gilchfist Stewart of New
York, who has performed such ex-
cellent work in connection with the
gathering of evidence in favor of
the brave boys Of the 25th was
present and made an eloquent adj
dress on the subject of the shoot
ing up of Brownsville.
Mr.. Stewart assured the au-
dience that the friends of the SOL
diers had in no sense exhausted
all of their ammunition and that
when the evidence was all in there
would be no possible doubt of the
innocence of the colored soldiers.

Special to Colorado Statesman:

Special to Colorado Statesman:
Hon. w. IT. Vernon was the
speaker before the colored Y. M.
G. A at its mass meeting on Easter
Sunday. A raw and disagreeable
day had no effect on the enthus-
iasm with which the colored male
population is rallying to the ac-
compishment of the noble purpose
of this organization and as a con-
sequence the distinguished speak
er faced an audience which com.
pletely filled every space of Re-
formers Hall.
His subject "The Two-Talent
Man"-the average man, the man
who must struggle to win, in con-
trast to the "five- talent man." who
is destined to succeed under all
circumstances, was eloquently por-
trayed. Each man under the
sound of the speakers voice felt
himself personally described and
appealed to. 1t was the forcible,
earnest address of a manly man
and brother, who appreciates the
hardships, struggles and disap-
pointments of life and seeks to
make so plain the path of true sue
cess, that the wayfaring man,
though fool need not err therein.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Vernon said 1.-THE foundation of
society rests upon the moral up
lift of the individual. l fear the
effect of the saloons on our people
far more than all the harm Ben
Tillman can do us and | fear the
brothels and dens of vice, which
do so much to drag us down, far
more than all the influence that
Vardaman can bring against u.s."
Mr.. Vernon held the large au-
dience far more than an hour and
at times during his discourse was
compelled to suspend while the
building echoed with applause.
Men, old and young, were fairly
electrified with the eloquent words
of the speaker and the pleasing
interest and rapt attention which
followed his every word and ges-
ture seems to promise an abun-
dant harvest of Cody lives from
the seed this day sown in the
hearts of men.

NEGRO MEAT INSPECTOR.

PiaEhurg, Wholesale meat
circles in the Pittsburg district
are torn to their insides as result
of a 'beef" made by some of the
packers because of the placing
here of Ernest Walker, a Negro
inspector of meat employed by the
Government. One firm took the
bull by the horns and declared that
no Negro would pass upon the
dressed carcases it sent out from
its place, but the government put
a skiver through the hide of the
objecting packers and refused to
travel with the drove on the par
ticular range that is the home of
bucking steers.
For three days the company
browsed serenely without having
the watchful eye of the black
Government shepherd looking over
its product. Then there was need
ed some meat to fill orders to go
out or the state, and as the Gov
ernment required the inspection of
all meat dustined for interstate
commerce, the company had to
send in request for Government
inspector, and it got the Negro.
AS race prejudice was not to be
allowed to interfere with business,
the Negro was allowed to look over
the meat and attach Uncle Sans
stamp to the cattle, sheep. lambs
and hogs out. 1t was stated, how
ever, that nothing unusual was
done at the packing house to make
the work especially pleasant for
Walker.
Walker came to this city from
Kansas City in December and has
been working every day since with
the exception of the three days
that one company barred him from
its packing house. Walker was
appointed from St Louis, where
his home is, and he is said to be a
capable inspector. 1t was stated
that the only reason he is objected
to is that he is Northern Negro.
Walker has not had any trouble
in any packing house except one.
There are five meat inspectors and
six veterinary inspectors who take
care of the Pittsburg district, for
mer getting $1,000 and the latter
81 200 a year. Walker is the first
Negro who has ever done any

of all matters pertaining to the
Negro.
For period of a dozen years
it has more completely filled the
idea of popular forum than any
of the other literary societies of
the city.
Perhaps TIE organization has
absorbed much of the spirit of the
able pastor of the church, DR.. W.
Bishop johnson, who speaks,
writes and thinks for himself &C.
cording to whatever light he has
been able to discern and not ac-
cording to the impression which
may have been gained and given
out by some one else.
Racial interests are always to
the fore both in the pulpit and ly-
ceum of the Second Baptist.
Speakers of both local and ma
tional fame and of both races, have
at varions times occupied its ros-
trum and its opinion of grave af-
fairs, recorded in resolution or pc
tition, has had its weight in shap-
ing events in which the Negro has
been deeply interested.
Sunday last formed no eycep-
ton either in the features of the
address or in the discussion of the
same on the floor.
Editor w. Calvin Chase of the
"Bee" spoke for an hour on the
apparent discrimination of the ad-
ministration in its attitude towards
Negro employees of the Govern
ment. Specific instances were
cites in various departments. which
give color to the opinion that
there is tentative understanding
that Negroes are not to be appoint
ed or promoted if the same can be
avoided.
In illustration the speaker said
that there had been approximate
ly one hundred women appointed
in the Bureau of Printing and En-
craving in the last few months,
not one of whom was colored and
few if any promotions of those al
ready in had been recorded.
Mr.. Chase expressed it as his
opinion that a check would be put
to these conditions as soon as Mr..
Cortelyou was placed in possess
ion of the facts.
The speaker also reviewed the
Rate and migration Legislation
of the past Congress and showed
how the latter had been so ingen-
iously conceived and phrased as 10
really permit laborers to be
brought into several of the south
ern states whenever desired.
Mr. Pelham of Michigan and an
employe of the Census Office ex-
pressed himself as heartily in &C.
cord with what the speaker had
said and sighted instances of dis
elimination in support of the con-
tention of the essayist. Being
himself connected with a branch
of the Government which employs
number of clerks on special work
in the field, he made the startling
announcement that a high official
of one of the departments had told
a colored clerk who sought one of
these assignments, that he could
not be appointed to such a posi-.

What consists of a white" man?
This is no small or unimportant
matter, been commonly accepted
that person with the least in
fusion of Negro blood is not

by recent decision of a Virginia

Plans 10 Move Cotton Crop.
Capital Stock and Surplus $40, 100000

New Orleans, Nov. 1.-Several plans for moving the cotton crop and thereby affording some meas ure of general financial relief, are under way at New Orleans today. Unofficial word was re- ceived from Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou that he will investigate the possibility ofpay- ing out cash at the New Orleans sub-treasury for money deposit ed by European cotton buyers with United States fiscal agents abroad. Several local exporters have announced that they stand ready to do immediate business on this basis. New Orleans bankers acting in concert with the state banks arranged to mod fly the present stringent rules about paying out cash so as to favor the movementof both cot ton and sugar. This plan con- templates the iudicious distribu- tion of the available cash in the country banks which in turn shall distribute money in an equi- table manner among planters and small farmers enabling the i'm mediate sale of crops.

Issue Negotiable Cheeks.

St. Louis, Nov. 1.-As a means of providing small wage earners with negotiable paper, some of the national banks in the city this afternoon decided to provide all manufacturers and others who have large payrolls, with cashier checks in denominations of $1, s and $10. These checks are to be made out to bearer and and need not be endorsed. In fact, they will be used as scrip. The banking officials admit that technically this is violation of the law, but they point out there is no penalty provided for the violation. The new plan goes in to effect in the morning.
