LEADERS OF GERMAN COURT
JEALOUS OF MORGAN.
Rumpus Because Kaiser Violated Eth
quette to Honor Yankee.

Berlin, July 11.-Court society is
much exercised. according to Der Ro-
land, by the Kaiser's brusque overrid-
ing of the rules of the Imperial Yacht
Club in order to get ]. Pierpont Nor
gan elected a member without the US
ual formalities.
Usually when a member is proposed
he has to be supported by two mem
bers besides the proposer. Then his
name is listed for several weeks at
the Admiralty in Berlin, at the Yacht
Club in Kiel and the Casino of the
First Footguards at Potsdam. One
blackball excludes a candidate from
membership.
Instead Of following this method the
Kaiser, marched into the Yacht Club
enc day, found a number of members
present and called out: 1--WE have a
new member, Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan
of New York" Altogether the atten-
tons paid Mr. Morgan here by the
Emperor appear to have caused con-
siderable annoyance in the exclusive
Prussian aristOcracy.

The Farmer and the Queen.

of superior collie dogs, and she there
upon expressed a wish to possess one
Of them, says the Argonaut. Accord
ingly, the farmer forwarded two bead
tiful dogs, and her majesty gave ord
ers that the next time he came to the
farm he should be taken up to the cas-
tie. The farmer was somewhat uneasy
as to how he should comport himself
Ill the presence of royalty, and the
manager put him through his facings.
At last the fateful day arrived, and re
was ushered into the presence of the
queen.
Her majesty shook hands with him
and said, q have to thank you for
those two beautiful collies you sent
me"
And to this gracious remark the
farmer replied, "Touts, touts, wum-
man. baud yer tongue! What's the
matter O a pair O dowgs between you

NOVEL TEST MAY
BE PUT TO NEGROES
Can't. SIadG Evolves Entirely
New Wrinkle

Columbus, Ga, June 1.-THE COM
plete disfranchisement of the negro
in Georgia through a test which must
prove his character so faultless that
"a modest and virtuous white female"
may be trusted to his care without
protector-in the dark or in other
places of seclusion-with a feeling Of
perfect security to her person, is the
Gin of a bill to be introduced in the
Georgia legislature by Captain j. J.
Slade, representative from Muscogoe
county.
The application of the test to appli-
cants for registration, or negroes al
ready registered is expected to purge
the sheets of practically every one Of
the 10000 negroes who now vote IN
Georgia, through meeting the require
ments of the existing bill seeking to
apply disfranchisement. The appliCa-
ton is to be made by the registrar,
with obvious results. In the event
that the applicant questions the judg-
ment of the registrar, he may secure
the properly attested written state
ment of "chaste white woman" that
she is willing to trust the applicant
to the extent defined in the first sec
ton of the bill. The woman must ap-
pear in person and verify the state
ment before the registrar, and her
standing in the community must be
unquestioned.
While the author of the bill insists
he is a friend of the negro, he frank
ly asserts the belief that it will Ue
generations before the negro can safe
ly be trusted to participate in the
government of himself and his white
brethren.
