At the very moment when the seq

aroused such strong feeling and much
indignant protest. friends of the Ne

hopefulness for the race. especially
when that sign is manifested in the
state of jefferson Davis and Varda-

now contains a population more than
80 per cent Negro - consequently.

be most acute.
The managers of the Mississippi

mined to give Negro exhibitors larger
opportunity than has been theirs in
years past They permitted the erec-

from Negro schools but also individu-

last two of the ten days of the fair as
Negro days. with provision for "a Ne
gro parade and mass meeting address

contests and defamation contest. all
of which were successful.
The results have been altogether
happy. The Negro building was filled
to overflowing with exhibits altogether
creditab!e, largely from Negro schools,
but also from individual exhibitors.
The Negro parade, said to have been
mile long and to have included about
5000 Negroes, with double that num-

He Took the Trick

A conversation relating to the face
value of cards the other evening caused
Senator Bradley of Kentucky to become
reminiscent.
He was reminded, he said. of man
from the mountain zone of his state, who
once bought a jug of whisky and not
wanting to carry it around with him, de
cided to leave it at the corner grocery
until he should be ready to go home.
In order that the jug might be properly
identified, the man took a deck of cards
from his pocket, extracted the six OF
spades, wrote his name upon it and at
tached it to the handle of the jug This
done, he happily ambled forth, leaving
the jug on the end of the counter.
Two hours later the mountaineer re-
turned, and great was his CONSERVATION,
as we'll as eloquence, to find that his jug
of electrified spirits had faded away.
Look here, Jim," he agitatedly cried to
the proprietor of the store, do you know
what become o. that jug O. mine?'
'Of course / do, Seth" was the prompt
ieicinder of the proprietor. Jake Howell

AMERICANS DRAW WITH
ENGLISH TENNIS TEAM
Mclaughlin Beaten BY the Irish Champion William
Defeats the Veteran Dixon-Englsh Double Team
Confident of Victory

Wimbledon, England, July 25.-The
United States lawn tennis team attacking
the English holders for the Dwight F.
Davis international lawn tennis trophy
had to content itself today with a drawn
battle after two very hard fought five
set matches, in which J. c. Parke, the
Irish champion. beat Maurice E. Nc
Loughlin of San Francisco, and the other
American contestant, R. Norris Williams.
gained a victory over the veteran c. p.
Dixon
The large crowd which surrounded the
famous championship court where the
matches were fought in ideal weather
was fairly impartial. but the eagerness
of the majority to see Great Britain win
led to several demonstrations in favor
of the defenders.
Mclaughlin was an intense disappoint-
ment to his friends, showing only oc-
casional flashes of his usual briiliancy.
| Williams on the other hand beat the Eng
lish veteran at his own game and proved
much cooler than his opponent, outgen-
eralling him in the finer points of the
game.
Mclaughlin discussed his defeat by
Parke. In an interview to the Asso-
! ciated Press tonight he said:
i Parke proved the better man on the
ground strokes, and as it happened the
reslt of today's match with him depended
| largely on this department of the game
| do not wish to complain, but [ do not
feel that my ground strokes were up to
the usual standard. | do not attribute my
defeat to staleness."

SYRIA Is Restiye

The Turkish government is In obvious
uneasiness over the condition of Syria,
and apparently has some fear of French
intervention.
About a month ago Kiamil' Pasha
came to Beirut but he only remained a
given to account for his visit, the first
that he was in search of an asylum,
which is probably inaccurate; the other,
and probably the true one, that he was
commissioned by the government in Con
stantinople to see what he could do TO
check the revolutionary spirit which is
beginning to pervade Syria, and to per-
suade the people to accept the conditions
of reform Offered to them.
L He has been known as a sympathizer
with revolutionary measures and so it
was thought that if he became tho
spokesman on the other side aarf effec-
tive way would have been found of
damping ,the spirits of the leaders.
A little after him came Shukri Pasha,
the famous commandant of Adrianople
during the siege. Is is said that no less
than 10000 Turkish troops are being sent
to strengthen his command so great is
the fear that France may announce her
intention of occupying Syria owing to
the disorder there. Hilmi Pasha is also
on his way to the Lebanon 1t is In
tended that he should carry out reforms
in the manner he carried them out in
Macedonia, where he seems to have sue
ceeded in disbursing the funds for the
purpose without accomplishing anything
of any noment-a method evidently
highly satisfactory to the porte In the
meantime the factories have again got
to work owing to the fact that the silk
worms in the plains have spun their CO.
coons, and so there is less distress and
unrest. sn-
