The dance to be given By the mem
bers OF Typographical Union No. o

morrow evening will no doubt be a
grand affair. Everything is now i'll
readiness for the event and no time,
trouble or expense has been spared TO

the occasion The success Of the par
ty is already assured as great many
tickets have been sold, more in fact
than for any dance that has taken
place in this city for long time
The supper TO be given al the Ar
lington will also be a feature to be
appreciated and will undoubtedly be

excellent supper will be spread for the
dancers at the Arlington Hotel for
only so cents per plate will be good
news to those who dance as a good

NEGRopIionIA ~ NEW ,on,5.

IT Is true that negro criminals have
| sometimes suffered tortures in tho
South. but The adjective "fiendish''
which has so often been applied to
Southern treatment of the black man
must be used moro appropriately in
connection with recent occurrence
In New York City, In that great me-
tropolis. where SO many friends" of
the colored people are supposed to
dwell on Friday night crowd Of IN
furiated men gathered around william
AiitcheH, negro who had been fol-
lowing two young women who had
appealed to the crowd to protect them.
The mob seized Mitchell They rushed
him to the Walton Avenue viaduct.
They held him there, waiting to drop
him from the Haduct to the New York
central railroad tracks sixty feet be-
low. They wished to throw him down
in front of n train and let the train
run over him. The arrival of tho po-
lice frustrated the plan, and Mitchell
was saved
This. mark you. In New York, where
some Of our theory-crazed contempor-
aries proclaim to the world TINT the
North is the only place for the negro
to live. the only place where he is
respected and where he has full rights.
These wiser. better brethren of ours
would have the nation believe that 1t
is the abiding place of law and order,
and that mob rule as applied TO the
black man has exclusive jurisdiction in
the South.
The truth of the matter Is. that
New York and Boston as well shelter
tens OF thousands of people who
heartily hate the black man, while
processing outwardly to love him.
