tional Importance. The call for the
meeting, which was issued by New
York committee. was couched in these
words:
The government cannot exist half
slave and half free any better today
than it could in 1861. Hence we call
upon all believers in democracy to join
in a national conference for the discus
sion OF the present evils, the voicing of
protests and the renewal of the strug-
gle for civil and political liberty"
There were several sessions held in
the United Charities building, both pri-
vate and public. The public meeting
which was held in Cooper Union was
attended by fully 1,5OO people Judge
Wendell p. Stafford of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, who
presided at the Cooper Union meeting,
said in his opening address:
l believe in the fatherhood OF God and
the brotherhood of man-not the brother
hood of white men, but the brotherhood
OF all men. | believe In the Golden Rule
and the Declaration of Independence and
l stand by the constitution of the United
States, including the fourteenth and ff-
teenth amendments. That Is my creed
and my platform.
The broad subject of our conference is
the Negro and the nation-not the Negro
and the north, not the Negro and the
south. not the Negro and the white man,
but the Negro and the nation The ques-
tons 1t brings up are national They can

ABOUT FISHING.

- VERY boy knows how 10 go a-fish
ing. but an intelligent boy is no
long in learning that the mere
getting OF a lot of fish is a small part
of the pleasure. That is why he pre-
fers the rod to the seine, one big hsh
to many smaller ones, one cunning old
trout or pickerel outwitted to a basket
OF stupid fish that commended for the
bait. Presently he begins TO desire
more delicate tackle, and understands
that he is fishing for sport, not fish. I
take IL that the whole art and mystery
OF angling is how to get the most sport
and enjoyment out Of 1t. But how?
To begin with, no one viii destroy
a fish which is not dangerous to man
or better fish Just for amusement; in
other words, he fishes only for desir-
able fish. The chief things that make
q fish desirable In the sense of a game
or sport fish are that it shall be good
food. not too common. and not too
easily caught. If. besides, it be beauti-
full and found in beautiful places so
much the better. II happens that by
common consent certain fish. salmon
ana trout and their kindred, are in
Europe and America esteemed above
all others, and the opportunity to
angle for them Is not open to every
one, and most boys must get their
sport with other less esteemed kinds.
Boys fish" they are sometimes slight
ingly called, but they have lots of
sport to give to the boy who knows
how to get it, and he will get more
sport IL he takes pains to mak the
fish better worth catching and better
worth having after it is caught. 1t
is better worth having, for instance.
If you have caught it from the eleanest
water you have access to. Clean water
makes sweet fish. If a fish is to be
kept kill 1t at once by a blow upon the
back of the head where the backbone
joins it. This Is not only more merci-
full. but makes firmer meat. If one is
shing from a boat or not moving
about much the fish may be kept alive
In a floating lve-boX or basket, and
at the n of the fishing the best may
be chosen for keeping and the rest let
go. Fish are sweeter, too, if cleaned
as soon as possible; besides, the clean
ing Is done more easily if lone early.
Learn to do it we'll yourself, and try
to be at home in time to do it before
supper. Cleaning fish by candle light
goes far to spoil the sport of a pleas
ant day. Do not clean fish with your
pocket knife. Have in your, kit a stout
n for the purpose which will also cut
bait. Such knives made expressly are
sold for a small sum. but a veteran
Kitchen knife or a broken table knife,
II kept in order, will do excellent
service.
Do not throw YOU fish in the dirt
nor let them lie in the sun nor string
them upon a twig or line if you wish
hem to be sweet. Have a basket with
a cover, even If the cover be no more
than a newspaper. Wash this basket
n dry and air it in the sunshine, if
you can, after every using. All these
things you should do If you wish what
you catch to be as goodsas it can be-
