temperature under 30 degrees Fahren-

that he was going to see if he couldn't
have the heat kept down to 20. so that
he could attend sessions without having

You don't mean to say that you want
the chamber still cooler?" spoke up Sena-
tor Hale. why, it's seldom more than

that's none too warm.
Funny that you should complain about
cool temperature, you who have lived In
Maine al your life," observed Bacon.

and hopes have been shattered. The
infamous contagion is spreading. 1t
has sunken it's poisonous shaft in the
State of Ohio, where but few years
ago Negroes were forced to flee from
the hot-headed mob upon the same
roads they had fled into Springfield
from the tortures of slavery fifty
years ago. The soil of Illinois also
has been bathed in the blood of I'M
tried and uncondemned men, Now
comes the sad and unfortunate news
of the burning of man in the State of
Pennsylvania. If it were only the
sacrifice of a man who had violated
the law, it would soon pass from the
minds of men; but it is more than
that. 1t is the Indifference and spirit
of levity which accompany such hea-
thenish exhibitions. Most men who
die, under such conditions, are soon
forgotten, but the manner in which
death is inflicted is long remembered
by it's effect upon the community. All
the punishment provided by the law
cannot atone for the recklessness of
that mob. 1t is truly commendable
that the Governor of the State is in
voking swift and drastic punishment,
but the callous indifference which
provoked that lawless act is part OF
the morals of the community, and its
effect may well be seriously consid-
cred in order to arrest it's progress
The constant practice has scared the
consciences of men, and any individ-
ual may be its victim.-The Dayton

PROF. T. E. CLAY AT THE A. M. e
CHURCH.
Special from Franklin

Special from franklin
Last Sunday afternoon Prof. T. 3.
Clay made an interesting address to
the colored people of Franklin con-
corning the colored public school. He
encouraged the parents to properly
equip their boys and girls with the
necessary books and that the children
he sent regularly.
Prof. Clay said that the public
school meant as much to the Negro as
Ito the whites-more than any other
organization this side of the church,
and that if we would take hold of the
matter the public school would pre-
pare the Negro, in a course of time,
to have as skillful brain and hand
as any other race ever attained. He
further said that Negroes were be-
coming more Independent and loyal to
each other. Prof. VIM. Reynolds
made some interesting remarks.
Prayer was offered by Rev. ]. T. Pat
ton. Music was furnished by the va
rious teachers, Mrs. r. B. Ross presid-
ing at the piano.
