NATURALIST ON THE SLUMS
Dr.. Hornaday Gives Some Sound Ad.
vice to Young Women Tourists
From the West.

A short time ago party OF young
women tourists from the west visited
the New York geological park and
called on DR.. Hornaday, to whom they
had a letter of Introduction. The d.
rector personally conducted their in
spection of the park, answered their
rafting fire OF questions and placed
at their disposal so far as possible his
vast fund of information on topics in
his line. AS they were about to leave
he surprised them by giving them
some advice in different direction
and Of nature that visitors to New
York do not usuallK- raceiye
NOW, girls" he said, ''of course you
wish to see everything in New York,
but do not visit the slums. It will not
add one thing to your education. /
have lived in New York eleven years,
and if there are any slums here I do
not know where they are nor do /
wish to know unless 1 could do some
good there. The casual visitor can
not. Only a morbid and unwholesome
curiosity would prompt anyone to- seek
such places for the purpose of looking
at degradation, and you can use your
time to better advantage. There are
so many important and attractive
things to be seen in New York that
you cannot afford to waste your time
on unworthy sights. Try to see the
pleasant and valuable things and
leave New York clean it's own slums
hoping that may be soon.'
1t has been reported since that sew
eral mothers and fathers are grateful
to the director for his unexpected &C.
vice.

Telegram That Saved India.

objects, the telegram which illus
trates Montgomery's great saying
"The electric telegraph saved India
This is the famous telegram dispatch
ed by Brendish on May 18th, 1877,
which gave the news of the rebellion
to the north of India, and enabled
Lawrence and Edwardes and Nhhol-
son to take steps for the disarma-
ment Of regiments on the verge of re-
volt, and to make those brilliant ar
rangements for the relief of Delhi by
which--and probably by which alone
the mutiny was crushed out, and
Delhi once more returned to her
British allegiance. \

Value Of History.

Old wrongs are so hard to root up
that every man sometimes becomes
impatient and indignant and rebelli.
Gus, except the man who knows and
has long pondered in the very slow
ascent of human society to every
higher level that it has reached. His
torical knowledge is got only by con-
siderable labor. Any good man who
loves his fellows, when he locks out
over the world and sees it as 1t u.s.,
is pretty certain at times to accept
some revolutionary plan unless he
have pretty good historical perspec-
uve-World's Work.

DR.. G. c. Barnett, Of the City Of
Huntington, -Cabell county, whose pir-
ture appears above, announces his
candidacy for cOmmittecman-a n-at-largr.
subject to the action Of the Republi-
can party. 1t will be observed that
DR.. Barnett has been somewhat late
III coming into the field, and the ex-
planation. therefor is that Dr.. Barnett
has not sought, but has been sought
for. the Office At the present dav
. when rationalism is becoming more
and more manifest in the politics Of
the couiitfy-a at large, and the elements
OF Sensationalism and fogeyism are
gradually disappearing, men of re-
oGniZcd educational ability and strong
character, Of ripe thought and indie
pendent action, are wanted to fiji the
few Offices that are now and then
open to colored man in order that
they may make use Of the brief op-
Dortunity TO assist in shaping the DO
tecting its interests Not infreuuen;-
ly, however, the better men Of the
race are inclined to stand aside and
the. positions which are rightfully
theirs are then, as matter of con-
sequence, usurped by others whose
chief qualifications are the ability to
make loud and long harangues tickliny
the popular fancy and a dexterity in
mak!lg somersaults as often in num-
Ter as it might be in proportion TO
their interest pecunarily
In the subject Of this sketch, how
ever are combined all the requisit as
that are indicated before as necessary
for proper representation of the
race. In becoming a candidate D..
Barnett does not seek to gratify any
personal desire, bur is only doing
what he conceves TO be his duty.
And this, too, at some professional
sacrifice. For his time is fully o.
cupied with his professional duties.
and in addition he has to give bi3
personal supervision of the erection
and fitting up Of his private hospit Al
which is being rushed to completion.
But there have come to him imper-
ative demands from friends all over
the state that he become a candida, o
Tor the office, and the need for him
mas becn made so apparent that he
has yielded to their entreaties and en-
tered the race.
There can be no doubt. that edu-
cational1y and otherwise DR.. Barnet

IN the office of the Recorder of Deeds
and afterwards a more responsible DO
sltlon in the Patent Office, and was
! also assistant surgeon with the rank
or captain in the separate battalion
) OF the District National Guard, WASH
lngton, ID. c. Returning to his home
city of Huntington in 1902 he enter
! ed upon the practice OF his profession
and in course of time was appointed
assistant city physician.
Politically, DR.. Barnett has ALWAYS
loomcd large in the eve Of both racas
IN the city, and his knowledge and
good connections have enabled him r.
De OF material benefit TO his race. He
led in the fight for Negroes, to have
'hdrSe OF thelr own speakers in cam

Sroes to have charge of Negro insti-
tutlonS in the State. He is also q

Knoxville, Tenn, March 25.-Roose-

their boots and rubbed up their spurs
preparatory to a rough ride to and
through the Republican state conven-
ton in April. w. j. Oliver. of Knox
VILE, is the state manager Of the
Roosevelt campaign. He charges the
federal officeholders in the state with
adopting machine methods to pack the
county conventions and take an un-
due advantage, and he urges the
Rooseveltians to organize in the coun-
ties and demand their rights. Mr..
oliver has written a strong letter crit
lclSinG the alleged acts of federa1 or
tceholders relative 10 the coming
state republican convention.
The views of w. J. Oliver regarding
the strength of Roosevelt in Tennes-
see are. shared by all of the intelli-
gent Negro voters and there is no
denying the fact that Roosevelt is the
only man in the party just now, who
can command the Negro vote in Ten
