High School Notes

The Putnam High school tennis
team was defeated Saturday at Nor
witch by Norwich Academy. The Put
nam team was composed of Fuller,
Gascoigne, Allard and Beard. The
Norwich team played very fast, Put
nam losing everything except set of
doubles which was won by Allard and
Fuller.
Putnam High overwhelmingly de-
feated Killingly High last Friday by a
score of IA. Putnam started out in
the first inning by knocking Killian
out of the box and continued batting
heavily throughout the contest. The
game, although one-sided, was full of
good base ball. Each side succeeded
in pulling off a double play. Fuller
made three hits, two of which went
for three bases. Score by innings:

Il see no reason why we will eat
food prepared by colored cooks,
have them nurse our babies, and
live in intimate relation with them
in this way and then object to
them sitting beside us in the
street cars and workrooms,' she
said. IF you own your own con-
veyance you can invite whom you
choose to ride with you, but on a
public car and in other public
places all lines of distinction and
caste must be disregarded, and
rich and poor, employer and en-
ploye, anG white snd black, must
ride together.
"The civil service is a depart
ment of the Government, and it is
a shame that Government should
put lis stamp of approval upon
such unjust measures against a
struggling people. There are
1l,0OU colored civil service en-
ployes in the Government, and
they won their places on their
merits. Why should they be sub.
jected to indignities?- This race,

surely it is enough to direct atten-

furnished with separate toilets for
men and women as well as other

for men who smoke and their social

are excluded.

SOUTHERNERS ANGRY
WITH MRS. LA TOILETTE

Washington, d. G. Jan. 6-The
radical Southern Democrats, who
are playing prominent part in
running the Government under
the Wilson, Administration, are
highly incensed because at least
one person in official Washing
ton, and woman at that, has had
the teremity to criticize them for
their Jim Grow" and other I'M
American policies which are max
ing the United States the laughing
stock of other nations.
Many Southerners have even
cancelled their subscriptions for
Senator La Follette's magazine
because of the attitude of his
wife, but-Mrs. La Toilette contin-
ues to upbraid the Southerners for
their viciousness just the same.
Mrs. La Follette's argument has
been that segregation of colored
people in street cars. other convey
ances, and in the departments, is
entirely wrong, and that it is to
the credit of the colored people
that they had arisen en- masse in
protest. She advises Negroes to
keep up their fig hit, and says there
will be no constitution of peace
until the question is settled and
settled in the right way.
Mrs. La Toilette, at recent an
tisegregation meeting held in
Washington, said that she had
written several articles for her hus-
bands magazine about the colored
people of Washington, and that

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 18th =
Declaring their loyalty to the Flag
and the Constitution of the U. S.,
and setting forth plans for the
moral uplift of their people, the
National Negro Press Association
has taken definite action. in out
lining work for the betterment OF
the Negroes. throughout the Uni
ted States, which will be further
ed at the mid winter session which
has been called to meet at Nash
vile, Friday and Saturday, Febru-
airy 18th and 14th. Through this
movement they have been able to
inaugurate many reforms and to
help thousands of their race. 1t
is their plan to got at true condl-
tions of the Negroes of the United
States. and TO report and expose
all crime. To assist in this, they
have asked all city, county and
state officials to co. operate with
them by recognizing their official
card and their metal membership
badge when embarrassing condi-
tions are already made. In max.
ing this call for a mid-winter ses-
sion they have issued an address to
the country. The address, brief
but explicit, was authorized by
their national body, which con-
vened in Philadelphia, last Au-
gust. 1t says:
Il. We believe with the found
ers of this government that there
are INALIENABLE RIGHTS
which are the natural dover of ev-
cry human being born into the
world, that the permanent well
fare of the nation and of civiliza-
ton is best advanced by these
rights remaining the property Of
the legitimate owners.
Civilization makes every man
his brothers keeper (protector),
but no man his brothers owner.
Whenever the accident of race,
nationality, position, power, color,
or other physical condition enables
one individual, race or nation to
ignore or usurp the inalienable
rights of another individual, race
or nation, the equilibrium OF civil
lization is disturbed and the pro-
gress of humanity interrupted.
Justice can only come to man
when man is JUST. LIBERTY
is FOR ALL OR FOR NONE.
II. The fate Of America and
the Negro are inextricably bound
together. The Negro has nowhere
else to go.
I'VE call upon our people to use
all their powers to meet the ideals
of civilization and the obligations
of American citizenship.

25,0S6 enlistments during the last
fiscal year, 1892 were native
whites; 1866 foreign whites; 2,049
Colored; twenty-seven Indians;
ZIG Porto Ricans, and 627 Fill
pinos. Desertions during the past
aggregated 4,451, which was 5.4S
per cent of the enlisted force of the
army, as against 443 per cent.

Two colored regiments, the 9th

Paris. Jan. 3.-The scientific
controversy over the theory that
the color of the Negroes skin is
protection has brought out the in
formation that the pigment in the
black mans epidermis protects
him from the ruinous effect of ul-
traviolet rays. This provokes
another theory from DR.. Miramond
Roquette, an army physician, who
states that Negroes are lazy when
living IN temperate zones and cold
climates because they draw the
greater part of their vital energy
directly from the sun through their
skins, which are especially adapted
to absorbing solar energy, whereas
white skin is not. The Negro,
therefore, thrives best in tropical,
sunny lands, while the white man
deteriorates and loses his energy.
