WASHINGTON D. {,
NEWS LETTER

The Colored Y. M. @. A. build,
ing of Washington is undoubtedly
the grandest, largest and best
equipped of any Association build
ing for colored in the United
States. The entire building was
built by colored men. Weekly
copies of the popular COLORADO
STATESMAN are found on file in its
spacious reading rooms.
A big political shake is ex-
pected among the oolored men
holding jobs higher up. We have
four colored men in the Capital
receiving $4,000 year each, un-
der the Republican administration.
The question is asked will the
Democrats treat the colorcd race
as well as did the Republicans?
The Armstrong Manual Training
school held its closing exercises
last week, graduating large class.
The school has large enrolment
OF night students, mostly adults,
who are privileged with taking any
course of study in manual training
that they desire, free of charge.
Congress appropriates S5O,UOO a
year alone for the support of this
school, for colored people. There
is no need of any colored man or
woman in this section of the coun-
try not having any kind of an edu-
cation he desires, if he only has
ambition to take vantage of the
opportunity. There are other
night schools that teach book
keeping, stenography and classics.
All free of charge to adults.

MOVEMENT TO GUST
RAILROAD PORTERS

st. Louis, Mo, March l1.-Just
as there has been an organized
movement to have anti-intermar-
rige measures passed in the various
Legislatures throughout the coun-
try, SO is there well-engineered
plan on foot to have the colored
railroad porters ousted in the
West and Middle West, although
sereral States have refused to con-
slider the plan seriously. The Lo-
comotiye Brotherhood is said to be
back of the movement.
The scheme is to prevent the
employment of colored men as
train porters. Porters in the Pull
man service are not affected. AS
usual, the train porters are unor-
ganized and are fighting the hos
tile measures the best they can.
In each of the States in the
West and Middle West bills have
been introduced in the Legislature
at the instance of the Locomotive
Brotherhood, known as the Full
Crew Bill, which provides for a
brakeman and fagman on all pass
enger trains carrying more than
three coaches.
The purpose of the Full Crew
Bill is to do away with the colored
train porters, as he carries switch
key the same as the brakeman and
performs similar duties. The Lo-
comotive Brotherhood is opposed
to Negroes earning IA living where
white men show a preference to ac-
cept employment.

NOTED COLORED
WOMAN DEAD.

Auburn, n. Y. March r.
Harriet Tubman, colored woman,
50 years of age, said to have been
friend of Abraham Lincoln and
Secretary of State William H. Se-
ward, who was associated with
John Brown in anti-slavery work,
died of pneumonia this week.
She was an inmate of the Harriet
Tubmau home for INDECENT aged
Negroes, which she founded here
on land given her by Secretary
Seward.
Harriet Tubman is said to have
been connected with the under
ground railroad" system by which
fleeing slaves were aided i'll eluding
pursuit. 1t is said she railroaded
over 3CO slaves into Canada. The

William II. Lewis Of Boston, who

Progress Is Retarded

In view of conditions which it
has only been sought to suggest,
the existence of several peculiar
facts probably will have been noted
by the ordinary observant person.
Instances Of the advance of the
Negro to the more renumerative
grades of Federal employ being
willfully retarded are SO numerous
as to seem to establish an accept
able rule of action; the unrelent-
ing opposition and ingenious
scheming of prejudiced persons,
unwisely clothed with the power
of selection, seeks to restrict the
employment of the Negro to the
grades of messenger, skilled labor.

though no less forceful rule which

FINDS RACE
PREJUDICE
John H Paynter Washington c. Civil Service Rules
Evaded Clerkships Hard to Obtain.

Several months dgo an article in
the daily press asserted that a
delegation of leading Negro Off
cials of the government had called
upon the President and had stated
that general dissatisfaction existed
among Negro civil service employees
because of alleged methods of un-
fairness which handicap their ten
ure and advancement, and that
they had had been assured of the
interest and sympathy of the exc
cutive, and requested to furnish
specific instances, establishing the
truth of their complaint.
Up to the present, so far as. L
have been able to learn, the chan
nels of information contain no
record of the presentment of such
instances or the resultant investi-
CATION, which it was understood
would follow.
1t is hardly conceivable that
these gentlemen are so out of touch
with the conditions in which the
average Negro employe spends his
service as to have been unable to
furnish the information as request
ed. and certainly their power and
influence should be reckoned an
item of large value, if welded in
the interest of the Negro employe
of mora humble station.
May Not Have Pressed Advantage
Perhaps, however, these Negro
employees of lesser prominence
have themselves been dilatory in
closing with the means of interces-
sion which has been placed within
their reach,
In consideration of what has
gone before, it may not be amiss
to refer briefly to the general status
of Negro employees under civil ser
vice in the hope that present in
consistencies in its application to
their employment may be corrected
and the splendid ideal for which it
was created may be realized,
In approaching this subject, we
should keep in mind that the gov
ernment has committed itself to the
fundamental principle of an equal
opportunity in all directions for all
classes of its citizens. We recog-
nize the fact that Uncle Sam has
gone into the game Of nation build
ing on a world wide scale; that he
has a fist full of trumps, and he
never hesitates to take trick.
Generous, loyal and brave, he
has the implicit faith of noble
nature in the righteousness OF his
mission, and has neither the time
nor inclination to scrultinize The
myriad threads of detail which
unite to make the mighty cable of
his power. He is ALI the more re-

lunctant, even though his ener-
gies were not entirely occupied
with the larger affairs of state, be-
cause of that fine confidence with
which he so freely invests every
son and daughter of the republic.
Trouble Is Deep Rooted
So it is that, through the dele
CATION of authority, in many in
stances, to not overscrupulous su-
bordinates, there haye developed
wrongs and abuses and various
forms of injustice. which gravely
threaten the splendid fabric of fair
dealing which has been reared
through years of arduous toll un-
der the fostering care of Uncle
Sam.
Just as the larger in matherna-
tics implies and contain the lesser,
oven SO may it, in the social orgov-
ernmental state, obscure the same,
it's privileges-its aspirations and
it's reasonable right to an equitable
consideration The Negro, in the
aspect of his Federal relationships
appropriately regarded as the lesser
atom, is so relatively impotent and
inconspicuous as to be almost OBJ
scured within the portly interests
and insistent demands of his larg-
er brother.
Unusually complaisant, and not
given to complaining, he has
brought to his new relationship
much of the spirit which animated
his brothers under the old regime.
The humble acquiescence in the
will of those who administer the
affairs of state and regulate the
civic rights and status of the in
dividual, is an inheritance from
which there could be no immediate
escape.

SHARING SARDINES

in tin boxes by women seated at long
tables. The boxes are classed as
wholes, halves and quarters. The
quarter box contains eight or ten sar.
dimes and is the most familiar size.
Sometimes pimento, sliced lemons and
pickles and other cOdiments are put
in the bottom of the box
The filled boxes are placed on large
trays and carried to the oiling room,
where the vOids are quickly filed with
oil flowing from a row of taps which
the operator controls with one hand
while with the othes she brings each
box in turn under stream of oil.
The boxes are sealed either by
soldering or by foieing and pinching
the edges. In the former case the
soldering iron is continuously heated
b. a blowpipe as 1t passes along the
e9ge OF the box, which is clamped to a
torntable. A single blower furnishes

A curious and important fact in the
biology OF the sardine is the sudden
ness. with which the little fishes appear
in great numbers and subsequently
vanish, probably in consequence OF
changes in oceanic conditions. Accord

pear in dense schools wherever they
find the most favorable degrees OF
temperature and salinity and disap-
pear as soon as the water has been
replaced by a current of different char
acter. Unfortunately, we know moth

the sardine seeks or of the movement
of various strata of water along the

sardine prefers warm or cool water,

In Brittany sardines are caught with

long and 26 to 80 feet deep. which Is
supported by corks fastened to its
upper border and is attached to the
stern of the boat by a cord several
yards long. AS the boat moves slowly
against the current the sardines are
lured to the net by sailed cod thrown
on the water. The net is made of
thread so fine that it is almost invis-
ible and the meshes are of such dimen-
sions that the sardines thrust their
heads through them and are caught by
the gills.

FRANZ JOSEF'S KIND HEART
Little Incident That May Explain Why
Ruler Of Austria Is Loved by
His Subjects.

Sense of humor is another strong
trait of Emperor Franz Josef. One day,
unannounced, Franz Josef visited the
military academy at Wiener-Neustadt,
entered a classroom and saying to the
officer hearing a recitation: Don't let
me disturb you" took seat. On the
bench behind him he put his generals
hat, crowned with its bush of long
straight feathers. A boy eyed the
green plumes, then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one. Emboldened
by success, he took four, and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperor's arm in the
process.
What are you doing that for"
asked Franz Josef, viewing the de-
pleted bunch.
For a souvenir" the boy suffered.
But why so many?"'
MY comrades would each want one,
too," was the frank response.
We'll, suppose there is no way out
of it but to give you the whole lot,
said the emperor, by this time laugh
ing heartily as he tore loose the bush,
Turning to the teacher, whose frown
of horror had been lost on the small
boy, his majesty remarked, But, cap.

Mystery of SIeep,

Sleep, in which we spend about a
third of our lives, continues to be one
Of the mysteries of biology, despite
the attempts of scientists to find a So
luton. DR.. Raphael Dubois of Mar
settles, after a prolonged series of ex-
periments on alternating animals, has
come to the conclusion that sleep is
due to antitoxin or poisoning by GER
tain waste products, which accumu-
late in the brain, and are only got
rid of by sleep. DR.. Claparede of &C.
neva thinks that sleep is an instinct
devised for the protection of the or
ganism. 1t was DR.. Ramon y Cajal
who formulated the neurotic theory,
according to which the neutrones or
pyramidal cells in the gray matter of
the brain sink down and cease to ex-
cite each other during sleep.
But there are objections to these
theories, and all others that have been
advanced 1t is a matter of absolute
knowledge that In sleep there is a
certain absence of blood in the
brain. Anything that lessons the sup
ply of blood to the brain is likely to
induce sleep. For this reason, keep
ing the head cool and the feet warm
is recommended as one of the best
means of overcrowding sleeplessness.
Absence of light, noise and strong
odors help to produce the loss of con-
seriousness, which is the chief charac-
teristic of true sleep.
