NEGRO PASTOR ON GAYNOR.
Compares Attempted Assassination
with Texas Race Riots.

The buzzards had not finished feast
ing on the dead bodies Of the innocent
and defenseless citizens Of Anderson
County. Tex, before God had suffered us
10 be plunged in mourning for our fav-
orite municipal head, Mayor William
Gaynor. Of New York, the greatest city
in the Western World"
In his sermon yesterday morning AT
the Tenth Street Baptist Church. Rev.
s. C. Lamkins compared the attempted
assassination OF Mayor Caynor with the
shooting OF negroes in Texas. and added .
The American people should remember
that the shooting OF Mayor Gaynor was
no greater than the shooting Of the
humblest citizen in the eyes Of God.
In the case Of the poor. however. no
official voice is raised in sympathy or pro-
test but In the case Of the rich and in
iuentIal they fall over each other getting
to the telegraph Office 70 send words OF
sympathy. 1t ell depends upon whose OK
is being gored. But the Lord has HIS
own way Of calling attention to these
things
1 cannot find words in the English
vocabulary suitable for use in the oulp,t
sufficiently strong with which to condemn
the murderous assault upon Mayor Cav
nor. Our profound sympathy went out
TO HIS family. and our prayers to God
to spare the life OF that good and great
man for further services in behalf NJ
the city Of New York, the State, and the
nation"

Observations


I. According 10 these figures, the death
rate in Chicago is lowest in both years
designated.
?. Boston's record in 1898 has been yield
ed to that OF Washington, which has
taken toboggan slide to the bottom Of
the hill. In 1888 the Capital occupied an
average position in the scale
3. The larger cities. New York. Phils-
delphia. and 81. Louis. have taken a
commendable step toward the summit OF
the hill. while Baltimore has simply held
her own.
l. The condition In Washington is, to
many, somewhat enigmatical and appar-
entity discouraging Much has been con-
jectured, but the real solution has not
been reached. Some have charged all 70
the presence Of a large colored popula-
ton, whose sanitary habits are often
careless; some have foolishly ascribed
much 10 the Potomac River. to the fly,
to TIE mosquito. to the unmuzzled dog.
10 the ubiquitous and fatal microbe. to
the miasmatic flats along the Eastern
Branch. and some. years ago. TO the pure
water filtered through natures gravel
beds and obtained by thirsty people from
the numerous wells all over the city.
These latter were destroyed, and yet the
cry Of increased typhoid fever and other
forms Of disease is daily published
few practical suggestions may be
ventured:
1. Washington is mainly in a basin
near the level Of the sea. People ought
not 70 live much OF the time nor sleep
at all in Easements.
?. The imaginary fear Of might air.
prompts many to close windows and
sleep in vitiated atmosphere. They have
severe attacks Of 'malaria"-bad air
which they themselves create.
3. The practices in public office are in
furious TO health. Half an hour is given
for lunch Clerks often eat hearty meals
of innutritious and improper food. Going
to work Immediately thereafter, they fail
to digest their food, and necessarily suf-
fer an attack Of "cute Indigestion" The
remedy is simple Let the lunch time be
one hour, and clerks kept at work, not
lounging, from . 70 u, from l 10 4. and
no sick leave will be needed. In the
absence OF such fun lunch hour, let moth
ing be eaten at noon, and the clerk will
be healthy and happy on two meals per
day.
4. Let II be remembered that a mere
change OF climate is no remedy. The
1 God who rules in Florida or Colorado
will punish disobedience Of His benehcent
laws in one part Of the universe as well
as in another. There is no escape fran
violated law, and none should be
sought. Observe true, Just. simple habits
Mix a little common sense with daily
living and quit RECALLING other people with
narration OF personal Ills It is i'm
proper and unmannerly. Try It.

SECRET SPOILED
BEFORE WEDDING
Third-time Bridegroom Not
Baffled by Friends.

When H. NJ Allen. sixty-eight years
old, convinced Mrs. Theresa NJ. johnson,
forty-eight, OF COS P street northwest.
that he loved her, after a courtship of
six months. she agreed 20 be his wife
and the marriage license was obtained
Saturday.
They intended this to be a secret affair.
but had too many friends. The friends
found the marriage license had been
issued and lost no time in paying their
respects.
Mr.. Allen is an employee Of the Govern
ment Printing Office. and had beer mar
ried twice before. His experience proved
useless in his latest venture. Mrs. John
son had been married once before, and
her experience availed nothing The
dress she wore Saturday evening gave
her secret away.
Around the corner from the p street
address, where Mr.. Allen also lives. is
the parochial home Of Rev. James d.
Mari. rector Of Immaculate Conception
Church. Arrangements had been made
for him TO perform the ceremony quietly
at O'Clock. The couple had planned TO
stop there while out for a walk
About supper time the friends Of both
parties called at the home and showered
them with congratulations
There must be some mistake" Mr..
Allen said. we have not been married.
/ Where did you get the notiony'
"Oh, we saw the marriage license
records. You can't fool US. We wish
| you a merry voyage and a long life OF
happiness. Here are some flowers. -
chorused she crowd
well. well take the flowers, and II we
don't get married they'll be useful. any
way. 1t is kind Of you 20 remember
US"
The friends OF Mr.. Allen and Mrs. John
son did not know whether they had made
a mistake. They took It for granted they
were on the right track and departed.
The ceremony followed.

Census Statistics Touching the Death

The assemblage, which filed the house

these as Well as the other films by loud
and prolonged applause.
A film which struck near home and
pleased as much by reason Of its famil-
iarity as by its beauty was one OF the
Great Falls Of the Potomac. showing all
the larger leaps OF the water. and in
deed. depicting more than the average
visitor could see in a day.
Other travel films showed Paris before
and after the flood. a trip up the Einel
Tower. and a vineyard in France. IN
terspersed between these were many hu-
morous pictures. chosen with the same
taste and discretion that marked all the

that such conditions seldom exist in 9
