A NIGHT IN JUNE.


There's nothing so fair as fair night
in June,
Enhanced by the light of the glorious
moon,
In the land of delight where birds ever
sing,
And flowers e'er bloom in the fair lap
Of spring
Where zephyrs of evening are wooing
the rose.
And Nature her fullness of Joy over
flows.
oh, who would be sad, or ask greater
boon,
Than to live-just to live-in the fair
month of June!

There are two things for the col
ored people to consider in choosing
candidates for the coming election:
First, Is the candidate efficient and
will he be credit to the position
which he seeks?
Secopd, VIII the colored people re-
ceive proper recognition from him. as
well as courteous treatment?
The Commissioner of Social We'll
fare has to deal with the health of
the city: he has charge of the hos
pitfalls and all matters pertaining to
sanitati ton, hence il is absolutely es-
sential that he not only be a physi-
clan. but one who understands that
line of work.
DR.. w. H. Sharpley was police sur
geon of this city for five years and
was health commissioner for eight
years, and hence is thoroughly famil-
lar with every detail of the office to
which he aspires. The colored people
of this city who have come in contact
with DR.. Sharpley speak in the high
est praise of the courteous treatment
they received from him. Their chill
dren have been taken and treated at
the Steele hospital without an expen-
diture OF a single penny, and when
dreaded diphtheria made its appear
ance in their families, anti-toNin was
supplies free OF cost to every person.
1t is things like this that merits the
confidence of the people. and it is
for this reason we mention these
facts. DR.. Sharpley has resided in
this city for 3s years, and the fact
that he is the president of the City
and County Medical Society attests
10 his standing in the community
His record as an official stands out
clear and can speak for itself, and
those who have had dealings with
him, and especially the colored peo-
pie, will bear out these statements
II elected, the colored people of this
city can feel assured they will have
good friend and that is the most we
can say of anyone.

at once sent to Mr.. J. P. Morgan, Jr.

April II, 1887, in Hartford Up to the
age of II a lived the ordinary life of
healthy boy in small city and was
rugged and active, but not different in
any notable way from other boys
Early in his 18th year, however, he de-
yeloped a weakness of the lungs that
was serious enough to keep him under
the constant care of physician until
a year or two later his family moved
to Boston.
There his recovery was speedy and
he was soon entered as a pupil at
the English High School. In every de-
partment but mathematics he dis
played no more than a respectable
mediocrity, but in this particular field
his progress was remarkable re-
markable, in fact, that when he went
to study at the University of Coffin
gen in 1854 the professors there de-
clared, almost to man, that it would
be a waste of genius for him to do
anything but devote himself to mathe-
matics for the rest of his life. Previous
to his entrance to the university Mr.
Morgan had travelled with his par
ents extensively in Europe and had
