VAGARIES OF A NEW LAW.

m S many of the members of the New York Legislature are law
IN yers, that body should be able to pass an ineligible law
that can sustain the scrutiny of an appellate court. The
Sullivan act relating to the ownership and use of pistols in New
York was well debated in both Legislative houses and was ex-
amined by The attorney general before it was signed. And yet it is
crudey drawn, the meaning of its provisions is in question and it's
constitudonaity is denied. And now it is found that the act affects
the hunters license law by forbidding persons under 16 years to
carry II shotgun in the hunting season.

DINNER STORIES.


The other day a man with a ruby
nose was brought before a magistrate,
charged with understanding a police
officer.
"What have YOU to say??' asked the
magistrate.
II am innocent replied the man.
What did he do?" asked the magis-
trate.
What did he do?" exclaimed the
policeman, haughtily, who had hope
such a question would not be put.

IS THE STATE U CUSTODIAN pPoTEcTED2

WAV HETHER the Office of custodian at the State House comes
wy within the protected class of the civil service is a question
that will doubtless now be threshed out in the courts,
lnasmuch as John w. Weseman, of Newark, who has held the
office since July, 1891, by appointment by the State House Com
mission, is TO be supplanted next Tuesday by a new appointee in
the person of Frederick Nissan, of Jersey City. Weseman is a
Republican and the man selected is a Democrat. When the civil
service law went into operation the Office was placed in the classified
class by the commission, but an opinion by the attorney general
which the latter afterward reversed, decided that Weseman was
not protected from partisan removal by the law. Notwithstanding
the reversal of opinion by Attorney General Wilson, the ground is
taken that the custodian is unprotected, and the question will be
taken to the courts for adjudication. AS the Office is statutory, it.
can be abolished by the Legislature and the controversy settled in
that way.

manner and customs and the frank
way he explained himself He en-
braced the opportunity of visiting

this distinguished minister said in

The Race Problem and the New

That which we have heard, that
which we have seen with our eyes,
that which we beheld and our hands
handled. declare we unto you The
discourse was as follows.
The writer IS speaking of the word
OF life and of its manifestation to
bases his argument, not upon hear
say, but upon experience. lie intends
to speak only Of what he had seen
with his own eyes, and to report only
what he has heard with his own ears.
He knew that such frst-hand evidence
Is demanded by thoughtful men and
women. Any attempt to enrich It by
drawing from less trustworthy sources
only serves to weaken the argument
as a whole and to make men all the
more skeptical
1t is in this spirit that I wish to
consider with you the new South and
the race problem. 1t Is subject which

pulpit. | have been obliged to come
before you and report the results of

OF such reasoning as l am capable of.
These results may be no more valu-
able and the conclusions no more ac-
curate t5an those of former years, but
they will have the stamp of reality
and, ! trust, OF sincerity.
For several years | have been inter
ested IN what Is known as the race
problem. | have been forced to the
conclusion that Ii Is one OF the great

there could be no more fitting obser-
vance OF day set apart to COmmem-
orate the heroism and self-sacrihce of
our Northern soldiers than to con-
tribute our mite toward the compile

began. Nearly so years ago, with a

History of w. C. Pearson
MAN WHO HAS BEEN 4 SUCCESS
D.,-I,, n Z NJ,


The first IS years Of his lie were
spent on the farm: the next five years
were spent in the tobacco factories.
During these years, from 10 to 2I, he
attended county public schools on an
average of two months a year. He
also attended nighs school the last
five years and worked in the factory
during the day.
At the age cf p, he entered Shaw
University at Raleigh, n. c., with
$3.50, the savings of one year 5
work His parents being poor and
unable to help him, he had to leave
school after four months, but he was
not discoura ged. He saved enough
during that year to re-enter the Uni
versity at the beginning of the Fall
term. At this point Gen. Julian ).
Carr thought he saw something in the
struggling youth and agreed to pay
his tuition, which he did for four
years, and in 1886 Prof Pearson grad
uated with honors from the Univer-
sity.
In the same year of his graduation
he took charge of the village school,
and two years later was elected prin-
cipal of the City High School, which
position he is still holding. The pres
ent enrolment Of his school Is 900,
with Is we'll equipped teachers. Be
side the literary course, they have de-
partments of domestic science, art,
millinery and woodwork. These de-
partments are well equipped, and
when work is turned out, it equals
that which comes from any factory.
The work which is done in the wood
work shop, equals that which comes
from the factories in Michigan.
Aside from his school work, he has
founded the Mechanics and Farmers
Bank. established Whitted Wood
working & Manufacturing Company,
of which he IS president He IS also
president of the Durham Broom Fac
tory and manager of fraternal or
ganization known as the Royal
Knights of King David. The Royal
Knights of King David, the traternal
organization of which he IS manager,
is one of the greatest Negro organlza-
tions in the world and is doing an i'm
mense business in the Southern
States.
He has worked every hour of his
life and has made very nice little
fortune of $4,000.
Prof. Pearson, thus striving onward
and upward, did not forget the poor
around him. Seeing some were
scarcely able to get the necessities Of
life. he founded September p, 1883,
in the city of Durham, y. I" this
great fraternal organization, which
has $4,000 at the back OF It, and
$1,000 has been placed with the In
surance Commissioner to protect
every member
The Royal Knights of King David
is a chartered secret institution and
has its signs, grips, passwords, jewels,
etc, and can be sued. No person can
have an excuse as to the joining fees,
which are $3.50, being too expensive
The monthly dues are 25 cents. The
object of this great institution is to
unite, as we'll as protect and aid each
other. The Board of Directors are
