Nashville, Tenn, March Am
unusual gift to Fisk was recently
announced. The donor is Mrs.
Alice M. DisuIukes who has
charge of our laundry. Mrs. Dis
mukes is member of our Mozart
Society, and is very much inter-
ested in the growth of the Depart
ment of Music. For four years
she has insisted upon turning back
into the treasury every cent of her
salary, until the substantial sum
of 81 900 has accumulated. This
gift will go toward the erection of
a single building in which all our
musical activities may be assem-
bled. Seldom indeed does one en-
counter such an example of devo-
ton and self-sacritice, and this is
especially encouraging coming
as it does from one of our own
people. The deafening applause
which met the Presidents an
nouncement of this gift showed
clearly that the lesson had gone
straight home to the heart of ev-
cry student and teacher. A music
conservatory is assured if this
spirit will grow.-Fisk Herald.

Providence, r. l., March 10
Victor LeBaron, of 425 Washing
ton Street. has been informed by
the administrators of his fathers
estate that he is an heir to over
S1,000,000. Mr.. LeBaron is a
graduate of Harvard College, and
has been resident of this city for
a number of years. He is a cousin
to the late Alexander Dumas.
He owns considerable real estate
in this city, and his new fortune
does not seem to excite him very
much. His wife is native Of
Philadelphia, Pa, and is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Lizzie Drummond
Melvine. Mrs. LeBaron is an
accomplished singer, reader
and pianist. She and her hus-
oand visited Philadelphia last
Fall, the first time iu Is years, and
were the guests of Mrs. G.. Grant
I Williams, of So. Markoe street.
They expect to sail in few months
for Paris, and will probably visit
Philadelphia, en- route, to claim
their fortune. Mr.. LeBaron is
Superintendent of the Pastueriz-
ing Department of the Providence
Dairy Company.

THE TARHEEL NE3Ro.

Some time ago we mad occasion to refer
I" the heroic course taken by North Carolina
health authorities in washing their hands OF
responsibility for smallpox on account Of a
general Discrimination on the part Of the peo-
pie to submit to vaccination.
In effect the health authorities stated Go
OIL and have it; we will make no further eff
fort to compel preventive measures when the
people In the knowledge OF the facts. refuse
to avail OF them
The fundamental injustice Of such a course
Of action is now being in Richmond.
where number of cases OF smallpox care
fully traced to their source are seen to have
originated among negroes who came to the
city from North Carolina. Among the intel
ligent classes, the action of the health author
tiles had the desired effect in emphasizing the
need for vaccination. Among the ignorant
classes 1t simply resulted. not only in leaving
the Tarhcel negroes free to indulge in small
pox to their hearts content. but in greatly In
creasing the danger to neighboring states. 1t
Is one thing to become impatient with ones
own. and another thing to thereby put limo
cent people in jeopardy.
For many reasons a quarantine by one State
against another In the matter of disease
like smallpox is both expensive and impracti-
cal. The disease Is readily carried for days
be fore it becomes manifest. 1t has now be-
come, as the result of years of vaccination. a
very mild cousin to the terrible scourge that
it was in another day. At the same time. 1t
is still loathsome and on occasions deadly. II
to the Tarheel negro's propensity, as 30 often
illustrated by Justice John, to come to Rich
mond to work off his meannesses be added his
danger as a free. carrier of smallpox, he be-
comes a necessary subject about which to es-
tabish a new principle of an Interstate color
line.

THE SOURCE OF RESPONSIBILITY.

IN the excitement incident to his narrow
escape from being blown up by an internal
machine sent him through the mails. Judge
Rosalsky called the reporters in to look at his
shattered apartment, and exclaimed, Gentle
men, you are partly responsible for this work"
Judge Rosalsky was that curiously trusting
jurist who took at their face value the ex parte
statements of schiff and his detectives upon
which without trial serious investigation
he sentenced the man Brandt to thirty years
in prison.
1t probably to the notoriety into which
he had been brought by the revelation of this
fact that he referred when he charged the
press with being responsible for the effort to
murder him

MoRrGAGING CENTRAL AMERICA.


Secretary Knox who is now tour of
Central American countries for the alleged
purpose of lettering relations between them
and the United States. makes a poor beginning
toward public confidence when his first impor-
tant communication is to urge upon President
Taft the use of his influence in bringing about
the passage of the Nicaragua loan conyen-
ton"
Stated badly, the loan convention" is moth
ing than agreement on the part Of
the United States to guarantee the payment OF
Nicaraguan bonds to be underwritten by New
York bankers. or course this is good bust
ness for the bankers. practically amounting to
their receiving at large discount bonds car
rying a high rate Of interest which have be-
hind them the endorsement of the United
States For instance. under the terms of the
convention" Messrs. Brown brothers and
Co and ]. and w. Selgman, Of New York.
TO be permitted to get this virtual issue
OF United States securities carrying interest at
; per cent. at the price Of 90 l2, whereas the
recently issued Panama bonds at per cent.
are now selling at premium of more than
vention" is good business for the bankers con-
cerned; it is difficult to understand
why If the United States under any considera-
ton ought to become an endorser for Mica
ragua. its endorsement should not carry with
it the credit of the nation
The proposal in this instance is not dissimi-
lar from that made some while ago in the in
was. the Haytian loan. The vice In both in
stances Is that, when it becomes an endorser
the United States at once becomes a mortgage
of the resources of the country whose finan-
cial system 1t undertakes to make stable. AS
a MORTGAGE it must necessarily look after it's
tries where revolutions arc the natural con-
dition of the people. it must, of course. adj
minister the property. The moment when
even the fiction of Central American indepen-
dence ends is that in which the United States
by guaranteeing its loans, serves notice that
it viii preserve the status quo.
In his letter Mr.. Knox talks good deal
tyranny" of Zelaya. This is entirely natural
since IL was the alu aH0Fde0 by KNOX TO the
revolutionists that enabled them to run up the
debt they are now trying to persuade the
United States to guarantee. and to finally to
win success where. without his aid, they
would have been speedily repressed lie is
rot, therefore, frank when he declares that
Nicaragua is doing for itself what did for
Cuba. Nicaragua did not do anything for
herself, the difference between it's and
that of Cuba being that in the one the United
States was a yelled and in the other an open
actor. II the administration hopes to tie up
Central America to Its apron-strings by stock
jobbing schemes. it hope ultimately only
to lay up trouble. The only alternatives with
respect to these countries are either to take
them openly, and gain by force what there
has been lamcntabe failure TO gain by
devious diplomacy, or to grant them the lib
erty of sinking swimming implied by the
fern of their independence.
