"A Chicago Pastor Says They're
"contrivanees OF the
Devil"

Chicago, May 20.-"Merry Widow
Polka dot veIlss "Hipless" skirts?
High heels?
All the DEVILS c0~ntriyances' says the
Res. W. A Bartlett, pastor Of the
First Congregational church. Here
are some OF Mr.. B~artIettis views on
fashion, With which he startled mem
bers of the West Division Christian
Endeavor union at the jackson Boule-
ward Christian church last night:
"Do not let the world dictate TO yon
concerning the clothes and hats you
shall wear. / believe the devil uses
the fashions to make fools Of people,
as much through these things as In
what we call sins.
"Why should q good looking Chris
tian girl rig herself up with . hat the
size and shape Of 3 platter stuck on
the back Of her head, held on by q
perforated mummy cloth, drawn
tight across ner nose and other feat
ures till her own mother would not
know her from q bandaged patient
waiting for the ambulance?
lGIRL's GAIT IS GRoTEsQUE.
"She has . short skirt, which is
well enough, but 1t reveals too often 9
No. 6 foot crammed into . size 3 shoe
with a Pinch heel stuck In the mid
die, making a gait like that OF q boy
who has fallen into the water with
bis clothes on and Is making a desper-
effort TO walk as II be enjoyed 1t.
"Then add TO that the chewing Of
gum, which draw the mummy cloth
closer than ever, and you have q spec
tacle to make angels weep, especially
those who have charge OF the mlllin-
cry department. Why, in my jndg-
ment, q girl would look far prettier
in n Of these o~ld-fashIoned bonnets
which we're sometimes made to look
like the wire protectors mother used
to put over pie to Eksep 1t from the
flies.
Let the men be funny with their
clothes, II they want to. Let them
wear cuffs on the bottom OF their
trousers, turned up TO reveal their
spotted socks and big ankle bones.
Let them wear a tin plate hat, the
size and shape Of ene worn by the Ital.
ian organ grinders monkey, and a.
tach their faces to crooked pipes and
ram hands down In their pockets that
reach to the knees, till they have the
attitude Of one In great pain.
THE MALE BIRD GORGEOUS.
"The Lord made the male bird more
gorgeous to make up to him for lack
Of character. He was to be the
searcher Of worms and supply the
larder, while the modest mother bird
was the real head Of the home and
brought the birdlings out of the eggs
she had laid. So the woman has the
adornment Of love, sympathy, kind
ness and beauty Of life-if she will. A
woman wants to look well. God Inn
planted that desire, and IL Is right,
but why should q sweet face be dis
torted by . fashion as heather az that
Of the Fiji, and a good figure by nat
ure be contorted into that Of the old
Black Crook?
YOUTH is the time Of real pleasure
Of enthusiasm, Of sensitiveness and or
life. 1t must not be dssng-
ured by sins TO the soul or sins 70 Che

telegram from New York to the effect
that fifteen barrels, shipped from this
place as merchandise, were received
At the establishment, OF Quong DuJY
Yin In Pell street, New York, each
containing a ChinAmkn. This is the
result Of q new trick to get struggled
Chinese out OF FL Paso 10 q place OF
safety.
Three weeks ago 400 Cinnamon ~.
rived at Salina Cruz, Mexico, from
China and went Immediately to
Juarez, from which locality attempts
have been made to enter the United
States. Within the last two weeks
the immigration force guarding the
border at this place has been greatly
increased. Squads OF Chinese have
been turned back, but n0twithstand-
ing all vigilance, many have been able
to enter FL Paso. The diniculty lies
q get ting out, as all trains are closely
inspected.
For many years smuggling Chinese
has been an active and lucrative husi-
ness 10 I'll Paso and those who ply u
are experts In tricks for evading the
law. The barrel trick Is the latest.

residents OF this place suspected Of
smuggling left here for the North q
few days ago, presumably 10 look for
the missing barrels. Various rumors
are atioat concerning them, the latest
being 10 the effect that their contents
we're discovered by q railroad en-
ploYee, and that two 81 the Cinnamon
we're found dead, but that the remain
Ing thirteen we're liberated. Food

SUPEMECOURT
Rules That Negro had Right to Have Member of His Own
the Jury n Florida,

front falter or retreat, the prospect
is ominous; but if they advance,
we may be sure that the rest will
follow.
Here lies the significance of
decision hunded down by the Su-
preme Court of Florida. l. w.
Montgomery, a colored man charg-
ed with embezzlement, made OBJ
lection both to the regular panel
of jurors and to the special panel
selected by the sheriff. He alleg-
ed that the county commissioners
Disseminated against colored men.
He introduced evidence to show
that colored people of the county
owned property, engaged in bust
ness and supported schools, and
that about two thirds of the color
ed men were of fair character,
sound judgment and intelligent,
and fully qualified for jury duty;
that when n. b. Broward (now
Governor of the State) was sheriff,
colored men were drawn on juries:
that the colored race formed a ma
jority of the population of the
county; nevertheless, that now not
more than half a dozen if any
names of colored men had been
drawn for jury duty; and it had
beer a long time since any color d
men had served on the jury in the
court. Though the Safe offered
nc evidence in contradiction, his
objection was overruled and he was
convicted by jury to which he OBJ
jected. He then appealed to the
Supreme Court of the State, which
decided in his favor. In deliver
ing the opinion of this the highest
court of Florida, Judge Whitfield
pointed out that the complaint was
not against the Florida statutes,
but against the administrati of
those statutes. He made it clear
that although the testimony was
neither full nor clear it was
sufficient to require some proof
that Notwithstanding the fac in
evidence, there was no discrimina-
ton on account of race or color
against any person of any race in
the selecting and summoning of
the jurors" Since such proof was
not forthcoming, the Supreme
court found that there had been
discrimination and that the lower
court was in error in not snstain-
ing the challenges. In this Flcr-
ida court, then, the civil right of
every Negro to trial by juries open
to Negroes has been vigously up
held.
1t is such occurrences as this,
unhearled because undramatic,
that indicate, more accurately than
the doings of the ruffiin or the mob
in what direction the American
people are moving.-The Outlook
