Especial credit is due Rev. s. II.
Norwood, The talented Secretary Of
the Washington Conference, on ac-
count Of the firm stand which he has
taken agaiGst the federation Of The
Northern and Southern Methods,
Episcopal Churches, and tho consc-
quent getting rid Of the colored con-
tlngent OF the Northern Church, He
cont mince his words ia making 40
explanation Of the affair either, and
his grasp Of the whole situation is q
clear illustration that he sees coudi-
tlons not through smoked glasses,
but just ao they are, and realizes that
tOoy bode no good to the cllurcd
people who are affiliated with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, North
In his open letter to Bishop Enrl
CTanston, VI ~ sIoiIng ton, R-y. MIR.
Norwood gave 81 plain and exhaustive
statement of matters IN general eC-
lccllng the Status Of the Negro con-
tln9ent Of their church, and tells him
plainly that his Negro constituents
are expecting him to do his whole
duty by them, They ask simple jus
lice at his hands, and unless be turns
a deaf ear to the plants Of his black
brethren in Christ, he will give i: to
them by entering into no agreement
with the Southern MethOdists which
will mean the eventual elimination OF
the Negro from the Northeru Meth
odist Church. Rev. Norwood's ar
tic!e appeared in the Pioneer Press
Of May n. and it will pay anybody
who has the opportunity to give it a
careful peruael, because il is racy
article by real race mau.

small frame building with a good
sized office and freight room,
but only one waiting room 10 X

house.

BURNT CORK.
The Paste Used by Minstrel Perform
 CTS When "GIacking Up."

The popular impression as to the aP plication of burnt cork by minstrel performers and actors ill general is that it is rubbed on the face and hands of the player from d cork whose end iS charred in q convenient @:lS jet. This impression is however. incorrect. The burnt cork used by miHStreiS and others is the pred"et of the theatrical "paint factories iuSt H~ i anT other cosmetic or pigment employed hE the profession.
 One house makes it iE the following manner: The corks are placed il faree tin vessels. resembling wash boilers, with holes punched ill their sides and bottom Alcohol is sprinkled over the corks and they they are fired. When the corks have been properly charred they are placed in muslin sacks Whiek are kneaded in barrels of water. This operation forces the powdered charcoal through the sacks into the water
 When all the charred corks have been worked through the sacks into the water in this way the water is drained through q close canvas sack. and what remains in that sack i; ready for the performers The stuff is put up in cans. from which. when the minstrel is ready to "black up he takes little of the black paste in his hands and applies it to his face, neck and sometimes his hands.-New York Herald
