Attell admits giving his note for

sponsibillty for making them good by
declaring that both were In payment
OF gambling debts and therefore void

The Winning i.
Qualities

(By Fred. l.. Weede In Philadelphia
& Evening Times)
Perhaps Tom Longboat thought he
had something easy when he agreed
to race Percy Smallwood ten miles
at the Second Regiment Armory last
Saturday night, and SO did not train
sufficiently. Perhaps the distance
was not long enough, and showed
Smallwood to better advantage Any
how. the Canadian Indian was beaten
by better than lap. and the Welsh
man was not run out, either.
Personally was not at all impress
ed with Longboat's ability as a run
ner. He does not seem filled with
the sort of spirit and vigor. that goes
to make up a long-distance traveller.
He doesn't look strong or rugged. He
must have some stamina, however, to
have won as many races as he has,
yet ] cannot forget his disappointing
performance in the Marathon at the
Olympic games last summer. where
he covered the second half Of the
route in an automobile.
Another Marathon runner was In
Philadelphia part of the time Long
boat was here. He was Johnnie
Hayes. the winner OF the Olympic
race. Hayes made u fine impression.
Those who met both men and OBJ.
served them casually united in de-
claring that Longboat could never
beat Hayes. It may be a peculiar
way OF judging what mans feet can
do by what he does with his hands,
but ] know that that entered into the
sizing up OF the two runners.
Hayes gives your hand hearty.
llrm grip when you are introduced.
Longboat let's you do the gripping.
A handshake. is a pretty good index
to the amount of red blood man
carries. Several persons who met
Hayes and Lonsboat were struck with
this marked difference. 1t may not
prove the right dope but not one
of them would wager a cent on the
Canadian ,lndiap in race with the
little American.

my sister, LUCY 4. GILPIN WASH
INGTON. who departed this life July
%, 1894.
Her sufferings ended with the day.
Yet lived she at its close.
And breathed the long. long night
away
In statue like repose.
But when the sun in all its state
Illumed the eastern skies.
She passed through heavens morn
ing gate
And walked in paradise.
! sometimes think her soul comes
From o'er the dark and silent
Where last watched her shining
track,
To those green hills of which I
dream.
Her loving arms around me tvine
Ny cheeks bloom younger in her
breath,
iii thou art mine and / am thine
without a thought, pain or deat5
And yet at times my ewes are Wet
With tears for her I cannot SEE
On, sister, art thou living vet
And dost thou still remember n,a9

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
THREATENED.

"I was informed only last night
(whether truthfully or not / cannot
saw that a list of the members OF
Shiloh Baptist Church and OF Gal
braith A. NJ. z. Zion Church who
are in the employ of the government
is being made up, and that after the
election is over. If the Republican
party is successful, these men are TO
be dropped from the government pay
rolls, because they support preach
ers who are opposed TO the Republi-
can administration.
Free speech and an untrammeled
pulpit are among the things dearer
than life TO every true American cit
izen, and we do not propose to yield
these rights or see them taken from
any one else. without entering our
protest and doing everything in our
power to dethrone the party that
countenances such pespicable practi-
ces.
II am preaching upon politics in
the hope of awakening a part at
least of the citizens of Washington
from the lethargy which prevails here
relative to their rights and privileg-
es as American citizens. and TO warn
against the servility 10 those in pow
er and the greed for political Office
which have fastened themselves upon
tens of thousands of people in this
city.
Opposition to the pastor of Shi-
loh Church first manifested itself
when accepted the position of Pres
ident of The National Negro Amer

league sought to have the party In

innocent Negro soldiers and to Sc.
