If Congress should, as now seems
likely, appropriate $23U,OU0 toward
a 100000 fund for the celebration
CT the Hftieth anniversary, in 1913,
Of the PRONUNCIATION Of the Enamel
patton Proclamation, bow will it be
expended?
1t will be recalled THAT the last
Congress was requested to provide
for a national exposition in comment
>oration Of that event. FOR some
reason, mismanagem%t has been
charged but not subsrantiatcd, the
bill appropl iating the money failed
Of passage. Shortly after, DR.. Wash
ington advised that the several
states independently endeavor TO
cele brate the fiftieth year OF Tree
dom in some suitable manner. Fall
ing in that, communities Of Negroes
were asked to take the matter up.
How is the national Jpprdpria-
ton, IL it is made, to be expended?
The sum is much too small to de-
fray the expenses Of a national eel
cbration. Divided among the states
il would be Il mere pittanCC. Will

chamber on the wall and fitted it
up with bed, table, stool and cadlc-
stici. One day as the prophet lay
there in his little room, he said to
Gchazi, his servant, "Call this Shut
nammite." When she stood before
him, Elisha said unto Gehazi, say
now unto her, Behold thou hast

One rioter was shot dead in door

wounded; one innocent prisoner was
struck by glancing bullet; one guard
was badly cut in the back of the head
by flying vinegar cruet and numer-
Gus other prisoners who had and had
not joined in the demonstration were
bruised and battered by table tops
torn loose from their trestles, over

Active bedlam lasted 20 minutes.
