Madam: "A few w'weeks ago, one 2s the canvassers engaged in raising funds with which to complete the Da- wis Hospital building, sent to me some subscription cards, with the request that I call the attention of the stud ents to the fund, to-. the end that the school might contribute to the same if l it so desired.
 When I received the request, I was certain that it had not been made be- cause the white citizens of Pine Bluff were sorely in need of any possible widows mite We could give; or, that they could not erect a hospital Or any other kind of building, absolutely with out the aid of any negro individual or institution And l was equally cer- tain that the request was made be- cause we have striven to identify the Branch Normal College with broad, public interests, and to make it stand for usefulness, for service, and for general goodwill to all. And I regard it as rare privilege to give our students an opportunity to rise out of themselves and show that there is no interest in this town too large or too ideal to enlist their sympathy or sup port.
 These thoughts We expressed to the school; and we called it's attention to the fact that the hospital will be open to our sick who may be destitute and unfortunate Today was set apart as our day for contribution to the .hos- pital fund; and l am glad to inform you that the amount collected was thirty-fou dollars (s34), which sum enclose herewith.
 The amount is small as compared with your needs; but the students gave freely as they were able, and without any urging; and I hope you will ac- cept the contribution as our Christ mas Offering" for His Cause and In His Name

.tv ~, John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, leader of the minority. and Represen- tative DkArinond of Missouri engag- ed in fist fight over the passing of the lie on the floor of the House ofsrep- |resentatives in Congress yesterday af- ternoon,' immediately after adjourn ment at 2:20 P: m.: .-.+-z/ Mr. Williams struck the first blow and MT. DeArmond retaliated vigor- ously with clenched fists. When, the combatants were separated blood was flowing down MT. Williams face from a small gash in the left cheek, and his forehead was red and abraised
 Mr DeArmond bore no mark of t,lr fray.
 The encounter was witnessed by more than 100 mebers of the house. and by many more persons in the gal leries, among them a score of women.
 The house having just broken up, groups of representatives were stand ing or sitting about discussing the committee appointments that had been announced by the speaker.
 Among them were MT. Williams, seated at Representative Wallace s desk, in the center aisle of the Demo- cratic side, and MT. DeArmond, who occupied Representative Bartlett's desk adjoining. They were engaged in very earnest talk, but their voices were low, and they attracted no special at tention. Suddenly both men sprang to their feet and began striking each other.
 So startled and astounded were the members of the house and the officials that for a moment no one offered to interfere, and the leader of the minor ity and the member from Missouri lunged back and forth between the desks, both swaying wildly and each in apparent danger of going down.
 Blood was flowing freely from a gash in MT Williams cheek when Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Sinnot sprang between the desks, grasped MT. DeArmond and held him back, while representatives and attendants, following suit, effected a separation.
 In another moment every other sec tion of the chamber was deserted, and all those on the floor were massed in an eager tiptoeing crowd around the belligerents.
 Don't get excited panted MT. De- Armond, glaring at MT. Williams and straining to free his pinioned arms and to strike.
 Why, am not excited in the least" answered Mir. Williams, wiping the blood from his face with his hand kerchief.
 For a minute longer MT. DeArmond glared and Mir. Williams continued dabbing with his handkerchief. Then friends led them into opposite direc- tions

THE EVIL DEED REACTS,

A special cablegram to the Globe
Democrat reveals the sad experiences
OF young women operatives from Old
ham and from other places near Man
chester gave up their employment to
cnligrate to the United States on a
promise of employment in mills just
built in North Carolina. Promises of
permanent work at splendid pay, and
under good conditions are said tNhave

ton agent for the state of North Caro-
lima.
when their money is gone these
young women are turned out--thrown
upon their own resources. Often they
are expressly intended to meet worse
fate, and complaints that we have re-
ceiyed Show that their ultimate des-
tination is the worst of the dens in
New York city and other cities of the
United States
The above relation is an illustrator
of the principle that an evil deed re
acts rron the deer. The immigration

DOWN IN ARKANSAS.

Recently, in the Arkansas legisla-
ture: Senator Mcknight introduced a
bill, which was permitted to go to COM
mittee. 1t aims to prevent Afro-Ameri,
cans from waiting on white persons in
hotels, restaurants, as BARRIERS or por-
tiers on trains, and it also provides a
penalty for whites serving Afro-Ameri-
cans
Also, Senator Wingo, presented a
joint resolution to Congress for the re-
peal of the 14th and 18th Amendments.
The striking resemblance Of the pro-
ceedings of the Southern legislative
bodies to those Of the Cour DIES Mira
cles. as described in Notre Dame de
Paris, cannot escape the attention of
the most casual observer.

OUT FOR THE DUCATS.

Rev. Madison G. Peters, a very prom
inent minister Of New York has aEan-
doned his ministry upon the ground
that ''the pulpit in America, with here
and there notable exception, is a
towards castle"
The New York Sun says: ut is more
than pitiful to hear murder justified
and commended from the pulpit, and
to find there not the influences of the
Sermon en- the Mount, but the loose
slobberings and mouthings of the yell
low neurOtics.
Tom Dixon also abandoned the pull
pit and went into the theatrical bust
ness, finding that the Devil was much
more liberal paymaster than the Lord.
The trouble is that all these pulpit
grafters are after the ducats- they
care for nothing but the ducats and the
people are beginning to see into their
game.

DEMOCRATIC MESS MAKERS.

One of the most striking peculiari-
ties of the onglomeration of odds and

is it's unlimited capacity for making a
mess, and usually sinking one, of
anything it attempts to do.
The most recent instance of this is
the new constitution of Oklahoma, up
on which the Democratic constitution
builders labored for about half a year.

outside Democrats saved them from
