A storm of protest went up from
the officers from the South when a
Northern delegate proposed that white
officers be required to conduct meet
ings among Afro-Americans. They
virtually declared they would not as
sumo such duties, with the result that
the committee appointed to draft. a
plan for the new work was discharged
before it had time to commence work
and the conference adjourned with
out further allusion to the proposed
work
Commander Booth said: 1T would
probably be just as we'll to segregate
the races. The Negroes are badly in
need of such help as we can give
them, and I am confident we shall &C.
complish great deal for their general
welfare"
The Commander is in error. The
Afro-Americans do not need any more
Jim crow salvation. They have had
enough of it. They would like lit
tie real Christianity. There is prac-
tically none in the American Church,
and now that the Salvation Army,

draw the color-line, it would seem
that Caucasian Christianity is indeed

Sanitary Authorities Of Port Of Lon

cludes Generator and Cooler.

For the disinfection Of vessels on
the Thames, the sanitary authorities
or the Port of London have adopted
an apparatus known as the Clayton
Dilute Gas Disinfecting Machine. This
is usually fitted in the hold of barge
and taken alongside the vessel to be
fum1gated, but about 200 vessels are
equipped with machines as permanent
fixtures for their own USE The ap-
paratus includes a sulphur furnace
generating sulphur dioxide, gas cool
er, and Root blower About 1000
cubic feet of air per minute is drawn
along this suction pipe by the blower,
dividing into two streams as it reach
es the mixing valve One stream OF
about 200 cubic feet per minute pass
es through the generator, becoming
charged with Is per cent. of sulphur
dloxlde, and is then led through the
cooler to the base of the blower,
where the other stream of 800 cubic
feet per minute is met. The resulting
mixture, containing per cent of sui.
phur dioxide, is forced along the de-
livery pipe to the pressure orifice of
the blower. Suitable hose leads to
the compartment to be reached and
the ten horsepower steam engine, elec-
trio motor or gas engine forces the
mixture, as it is generated, into ev-

LINCOLNS FRIEND SAVED.

postmaster general asking him to en-

woman of Carlinsville, ILL.,, who was
the sole support Of her brother, a
union soldier crippled at Shiloh Miss
Dugger got a position and preserved
the letter religiOusly. Secretary Mac
Veagh after reading the same letter a
few days ago ordered that Miss Dug
gers name be kept on the treasury's
list of employees, though she has been
i'll for more than a year. When an
employe has been absent without pay
that length of time it is customary to
strike the name from the roll.
Senator Cullom showed the letter to
Secretary MacVeagh, who promised
that Miss Dugger may have her old
position, if she is ever able to work
again. She is now 70 years old She

CAPITAL CAUCASIAN
CHRISTIANITY.

The Washington Herald, in a recent
issue, has a long-winded editorial on
the goodness of the people of the
Capital City and among other things
says that the lives of the residents
are in keeping with the highest ten
cts of Christianity
This may be true in some respects,
but when the color-line is reached
the Caucasians Of Washington do not
follow the tenets of the meek and
lowly Nazarene. In no city in the
United States is there more bitter
race hatred, and there is less reason
for it than in many other places.
While there are many bad Afro
Americans, the percentage of intelli-
gence, refinement and wealth is large,
but this seems to infuriate the alleged
Caucasian Christians and cause them
to hate their Afro-American brethren
the more bitterly
The Caucasian hypocrisy has been
strikingly shown on several occasions
within the past year. In one fashion
able street, there is. a block contain
ing many fine residences Among
them, however, are few shacks oc-
cupied by low,grade Afro-Americans,
but the aristocratic whites and lowly
blacks have lived in harmony for
