Barratt's Chapel.

Methodist church as II exists today.
Now it is proposed to raise an endow-
nent fund of $4,000 and preserve for
ever the cradle of Methodism in the
United States.
During the year 1880 the chapel was
erected on ground donated for that
purpose by Philip Barratt, a member
If the Delaware assembly, and great
great-grandfather of Judge Barratt OF
Philadelphia. Philip Barratt was one
Of the men who entertained and pro-
.ected Asbury during the revolution.
Because of its associations the chapel
S held sacred by Methodists and the
present movement, to place II under
the care OF the Church Extension so
ciety seems bound to succeed.

from a line passed over branch of a
tree in the animals path. The cord
by which the spear Is suspended is
made TO run across the path, a few
inches above the ground. and Is SO
ranged that when the beast stumbles
against it the spear shall be released
to fall and strike It.
Well knowing that their quarry,
though badly wounded, may yet take
to the water and escape, the natives
attach to the wood holding the spear
a long line which ends In a float; thus
the great beast can always be located,
whether It be alive or dead.
The hippopotamus is generally in
offensive, but when pursued In boats
by hunters 1t is subject to fits of rage
and Is dangerous. That the hippo is
capable of being tanned and of becom-
ing much attached to man has been
proved in many instances where the
animals have been kept in captivity.
The hippo appeared in the ancient Ro.
man spectacles and Is supposed to be
the behemoth referred to in the book
Of Job.
The hippopotamus is rapidly disap'
pearing from it's old haunts in Africa

She laughed ironically.

She leaned eagerly forward. Her
face was flushed from excitement, her
eyes flashed.

INDIAN PRAYER RECORDS
NOW IN FRENCH ARCHIVES.

A curious experiment was made with
great success at the Sorbonne a few
days ago. says the Paris correspondent
of the London Express. On June 4 the
French minister of public instruction
authorized the creation of a public office
in which arrangements were made for
the storing of the archives of lam
guages on ~gramophone records. Just
now a number of American Indians are
On show in Paris.
Two of the Indians finally agreed TO
speak. They arrayed themselves In
all manner of charms and fetishes
against the evil one and would not
speak into the gramophone at all until
they were allowed to hold a loaded re-
volver In their right hands while so
doing. At the first experiment one
OF the chiefs was so alarmed by the
preliminary whirr of the instrument
that he fired six revolver shots into 1t
and smashed 1t. to pieces. Another
gramophone was brought, however,
and the redskins prayer is now on
record in the archives, with the Ian
guages and dialects of Sweden. South
America, China and even of Mont
martre.

THE RACE QUESTION HERE AND ABROAD.

c7Ta HERE is in ordinary life in American communities no friction
of the white and black races and they get along with each
other quite as well as would be the case in any European
scountry under the same conditions, and undoubtedly vastly better.
sJack johnson, the negro bruiser, who feicitates himself upon his
pTecepton in London, has limited perception. An intelligent man
would know that if in London, where a negro is a rara avis, there
should be 10 per cent. of the population black the race question
would be more acute than in an American city. There would be
dangerous race friction always, with the same intolerance of negro
criminaity as has been exhibited in Northern as well as Southern
in the United States. But ordinarily the race rela-
stions here are amcable, and in many cases friendly and fraternal
sSuch an occurrence as the lynching of a negro always exctes
shorror and condemnation. 1t will not do for European moralists
ITO pronounce Americans barbarians because of the lynchings, and,
@Desides, Europe has its barbarism and barbarians to blush for.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
When will the aged and silly prac-
tice of playing Jokes on newly mar
ried couples cease2 This form of on
graduation is away behind the times
and ought to be discarded for several
reasons.
The first reason Is because 1t Is dan
gerous. A bride was killed recently in
New York when one of the guests
threw a handful of rice at the carriage
in which she was seated, hitting the
horses and soaring them into runnins
away. The frightened animals threw
the vehicle against an ]" pillar and
the bride was thrown out. h died
a few hours later in a hospital. The
bridegroom and widower sustained a
c~oncussion Of the skull, which, coupled
with the loss of his wife, has made an
imbecile of him.
There are hundreds Of accidents such
as this one on record, not all as serious
but that is no fault of the practical
jokers." The latter have been known
to loosen a wheel on the bridal car
rage and laughed themselves into hts
when the vehicle upset, causing the
bride to be cut about the face by fly
ing glass and the bridegroom's leg
broken.
This form Of acknowledging mar
riages has been antiquated for some
time and people ought to wake up tc
the fact.
