may dedicate the new Emmanuel Bap-
fist church at Twenty-fourth and Pink

held the pastorate OF several Baptist
churches in his younger days, has been
asked TO conduct the dedicatory serv-

reply. The new church will be dedl-
Gated on Sunday, February Z.
The basement of the new church,

be equipped as a gymnasium for the
children of the northern part of the
city, and the Barsca class OF the church
will give a mock trial Friday evening
In the church for the purpose OF rails

building, a somewhat new departure, but
believed by church workers to be the
best method of drawing the young people
to the church.

BETTER THAN DISTINGUISHING
Cardinal Gibbons Say Qualify the

gently.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 2o.-Cardinal Glib
bons today expressed himself as opposed to
the proposed amendment to the state con-
s%titution known as the Acknowledgement
amendment. There has been little attempt
to conceal the fact that the purpose Of the
amendment is to deprive the greater part
of the negroes of Maryland of their votes.
and the cardinal bases his opposition to its
passage upon his belief that only the
negroes will be disfranchised and that they
should not he thus disseminated against.
He also expressed the belief that the obtec-
tons to their exercising the right of suf-

prompt methods, such as the education of
the race and the strict enforcement OF Law

Snapper Kennedy OF Oskaloosa, Ia, was
in Lincoln today to secure a final PROPOSE
ton from Guy Green, owner of the Lincoln

Missouri city.

Joseph park and believes the sale Of the
Lincoln team to st. Joseph may be effected
in a short time.
Lincoln is'a good ball town." said Mr.
Green today, and the team is one OF the
three in the league that made money last
season, but 1t does not make enough with

Teknmnh Resort for Geese.

Thousands Of geese are spending the win

hunters in that vicinity a lively chase. The
geese spend their nights on the river and
in the morning rise straight i'm the air and
move several miles into the country to feed.
Several groups OF hunters have been most
persistent in their chase Of these birds, but
they never seem to go twice in the same

Kennedy spent Sunday in Omaha and
while here he let out his plan. He said he
would like to get the Lincoln franchise, as
he believes he can make it a so in ST. Joe.
The latter city has failed to come across
in times past, but it has been without base
ball so long that it is getting hungry for it.
1t is especially a good Sunday town.
Kennedy is a genuine base ball man and
is we'll known through the league.

world wise chaperone. Also, he removed

Her Native City.
Bohemian Magazine.

From the Bohemian Magazine.
 The misapplication of words in ordinary conversation is one of the positive and peculiar traits of large proportion of the negro race, due in a measure to their desire to appear educated" beyond their fellows.
 An example of this characteristic oc- cured recently at Birmingham, Ala, when a group of elaborately attired negroes were leisurely sauntering along the handsome streets of that bustling southern city, showing the sight to a young woman of the party who resided in another part of the south. Discussing the varied attrac- tions of Birmingham, dusky beau remarked that Miss Pearl Lucille was very mcuh delighted with our town on this her first visit"
 Promptly, Pearl Lucille in all the bravery of fashionable garb and forti- fled with the knowledge that she was esteemed a "star" guest. replied, "Of couse, I am. I like this town so much intend to make 1t my native city"

ROOSEVELT AND THE SOUTH.
And Very Interesting Letter By the
 ex-President.

From an Editorial in the June Century.
 It has been intimated that MT. Roose- welt lost much of the hold upon their sympathy that he had gained early in his presidency; and there certainly was, at times and in special localities. bitter criticism But is it not a fact that the figures of his election in 1904 show that the vote against him In the south was almost the same as the vote against Mo Kiney in his second election? The re- publicans again carried four congressman and In the ex-Confederate states he cut down the majorities in three cases, and raised them in some cases very slightly, in eight states and, In addition, gained the great State of Missouri, which Is, however, a western, rather than south ern state The last election may be said to give some indication of the southern attitude toward the Roosevelt policies, ' represented by Taft, and the republicans made further gains In both congressman and the popular vote.
 As to the character of MT. Roosevelt s appointments in the south. it is a fact that he made a special point of seeking for good men, getting advice. when not satisfied with the recommendation of the republican party organizations, from dis interested persons outside of the scramble and iealouses of partisan poitics-often from high-minded ex-Confederates. The writer happens to know who some of these bipartisan advisers were. and they were men frequently of party affiliations opposite to those of the President-nen to whom patriotic executive would nat urally m for sincere and unselfish as- sistancA
 Mir Koo avelt's own feeling on the sub ject is forcibly expressed In a letter to a frend, from which we are permitted to quote. This letter was written toward the close of his second administration, and in it he said;
 For years and years, one of the loudest complaints of southerners and of independent and democratic northerners has been that the federal appointees in the south were of very low type, this being caused largely by the fact that we paid improper heed to the local republican recommendations, which it was alleged In no way represented the people of the states. I have felt that there was great deal in this attack, and when I took office I made up my mind that I should strive to appoint as high a grade of men te office In the south as in the north, and that though I would appoint but a limited number of colored men, yet that they should repres- ent the very best type. the Booker Wash ington type; - and I therefore made up my mind that when I could not get really good man who was a repub- crat *s This is the course hau> carried out to the letter, with the resu1 that my appointees in the south. takek

dwarfed his introspeetion. No word for God" Creator" or pray has ever ap- peared in his language, nor from any action. ceremony or custom can a belief in these things be inferred. Among his superstitions he believes in an evil spirit which takes possession of one, and he has a word for spirit and Is very uneasy, too, at hearing 1t mentioned, for it is said that if named 1t appears.
 With the Yahgan there Is no past, and from the moment when the heart ceases to beat there is no future, for there is not the least scintilla of evidence that he believes in any hereafter When a man dies "he is gone" the Yahgans say, and lis no more" and do all that is pos sibe to blot out his memory, and for superstitious reasons it is even great provocation to mention his name. One of the most convincing proofs to me of their disbelief in futurity is the com pete distraction of all that belongs to the deceased. If a woman, her fish basket
