tors Of the movement intended. The
war, which was intended to national
ize slavery in the United States re-
suited in it's overthrow. The toler-
alton of the lynching of Afro-Amer-
leans, with the view that it would
be confined to the wrong-doers of
that race has resulted in prevalence
of atrocious forms of lawlessness all
over the country, investing it, in
some instances with power to defy
| even the state-government and incit-
ing it with sufficient malice to MUIR
der the officers of the law.
Now segregation, the result of
hate and prejudice and intended for
| an evil purpose, has in many instanc-
es produced effects just the opposite
of what were intended, as can easily
be shown by some specific instance
which we shall adduce. In many
of our cities Afro-Americans are rig
idly excluded from certain residence
districts and not allowed to pur-
chase or rent property therein for
love nor money. In some of those
cities, the Afro-Americans have
bought suburban homes and made
neighborhoods Of their own and
very attractive neighborhoods in the
bargain. They have entirely DESERT
they formerly lived and for which
they paid high rents, to the white
landlord. And. these neighborhoods
have given rise to a large class of
Afro-American men who are doing
business and being supported by the
people of their own race Such nei-
ghborhoods are found in st. Louis,
Cincinnati, Chicago and many other
cities. So, in such instances, the
segregation has resulted in giving
the trade of the race of the men
of the race, and in taking it from
w
ize it, We are we'll acquainted with
one southern city which is actually
and completely surrounded by sub
urban settlements of Afro Americans,
so that white people who wish to live
in the suburbs are compelled to
| pass outside of that ring and pur-
chase property further out. And
contrary to the usual rule, the prop
erty owned by the Afro-Americans is
rapidly increasing in value and re-
ceives a full share of the improve
ments ordered by the city author
tiles.
Again, segregation has compelled
the Afro-Americans to become the
owners of millions of dollars worth
of school and church property owned
and controlled by themselves and
such schools are rapidly being recog-
nized as the only ones to which the
/ Afro-American can safely entrust his
young females.
1t is a known fact that, especially
in the South, the managers OF. schools
for the Afro-American give them
selves but little concern as to the

CUlLMAN ALABAMA.

A visitor to this city gives the
following account of town in Ala
bama:
"Cullman does not allow a Negro
within her corporate limits. The
town was originally settled by lot
of German immigrants from Europe
and Pennsylvania shortly after the
civil war, and after about ten years
experience with large number of
Negroes who lived in the town and
surrounding country, the people de-
cided they would have to get along
without the brother in black So
they notified all the Negroes to get
out and stay away for good.
This policy has cost the town
heavily, however, because all the sur
rounding Negroe trade now goes to
other towns, and thousands of dol
lars are annually lost to the. Cullman
merchants.
Cullman affords fine illustration
of what fools people can make of
themselves. The town is of course
surrounded by dense population
OF Afro-American farmers and the
town trade is just about nothing.
Any one visiting Cullman, will doubt
less find poor little starveling ham,
let, with not decent store, hotel,
or saloon in the whole place. The
brother-in black is not losing much
by being tabooed by Cullmanians.

anybody is good enough for mig

ees are drunkards, libertines, graft
ers, and care but little for the we'll
fare of their pupils and know that
the trustees care as little as they
do. The knowledge of this condi-

the Afro-American: is taking such

Police Notified, Go to His Home and
Find Three Little Ones Dead in
Bed, the Victims of Cas-
Haggerty Arrested.

Boston, May 4-Thomas Haggerty
of Roxbury meeting an old acquaintance
on the street last night, told him he
turned on the gas in the room occu-
pied by his three daughters, aged ten,
seven and four years, last night and
that they were dead The police in
vestigated, found the story true, and
arrested Haggerty
The police hurried to the Haggerty
home On the bed, in room filed
with the fatal gas lay the three chill
dren, cuddled together as in sleep
Except for the almost overwhelming
odor of gas, there was nothing to indi-
cate the tragedy The three little
girls mother died only a short time
ago
The father walked down the street
last night and meeting some friends,
entered into casual conversation
with them Soon, according to the
police, he made the statement that his
three children were dead at home; that
he had killed them by turning on the
gas Tuesday night and that he intend
ed to do away with himself in the
same manner

A Word For SUGAR.

Pure candy is good for children. Pure
sugar is good for grown people, OF
course there are exceptions TO every
rule. II the doctor preseribes diet
and orders patient TO refrain from
sweets the patient is bound to obey
his adviser. What is the use of calling
physician and paying him for sug-
gestions If the latter are treated with
indifference People in ordinary health
need not be afraid to crafty an appe-
lite which Graves sweets. Those who
have looked into the matter have been
telling us lately that soldiers on the
march hold out better If they have
rations Of sugar than If their food
omits this useful commodity. A fond
ness for sugar is often defense
against the temptation to use alcoholic
stimulants. The inebriate does not
care very much about pure Sweets

The Care of the Cellar.

"The cellar floor should be OF con-
crete, which may be easily swept and
may be washed when this is required :
your cellar walls should be whitewashed
at least once year. Keep your eel
lar windows free without and within
so the ventilation is possible. Don't
pile things against them,' says Chris
tine Terhune Herriok in Woman's Home
Companion for May.
Partition off the part of your cell
lar where the coal is kept and put the
coal in by chute Rail off or box off a
place for dry wood and another for the
large frewood. Keep your coal in suit
able bins.
Have you divided from the rest of
the cellar room for your preserves,
pickles, iellies, etc, and fit this room
with swing shelves II the room is not
dark, build in a closet and put in
shelves. In this same room may stand
barrels Of apples and vegetables stored
for the winter
When milk is TO be kept in the cell
lar the pans should be on swing shelves
and nothing of strong enough flavor to
contaminate IL should be close BY The
butter may also be kept here. Unless
the cellar is thoroughly screened it is
well to have the shelves inelosed in
wire netting and fitted with swinging
doors. Meat should also protected by
netting or be placed in a wire safe.
Bacon, hams, etc, may be hung from
stout hooks which are fastened into
the cellar beams
"The ashes should never be sifted in
the, cellar, but taken outside unless
the work can be done in the room de-
voted TO fuel and with the door shut
into the other part of the cellar. A
covered sitter should be used, if pos
sible. to keep the fine dust from drift
ing into the other parts of the house
THE spring is the time for cleaning
the furnace and putting it into good
order against the coming winter. Have
the pipes inspected then, the CRATES he
paired and all of the necessary altera-
tions made.

The ACE Of Linen.

1t is highly probable that the manu-
facture of linens is of greater an.
tiquity than that Of silk. Archaeol-
ogists generally admit that the num-
my cloth of the most ancient dynas-
ties was a variety OF finest linen. The
Egyptian and Jewish priests wore 1t
at all their ceremonies. We'fnd men
ton Of fine linens all through the Old
and New Testaments When the queen
Of Sheba visited Solomon she was hab-
tied in linen. In Revocation the an
gels are clothed In pure and white
linen" Genesis tells us that Pharaoh
arrayed Joseph In vestures of fine
linen. SILK is mentioned In the Bible
only four times.
