CRAZED ENGINEER IS
 OVERPOWERED BY CREW


 A tale of a thrilling battle at sea with raving maniac was told by the crew Of the schooner ..Byrna P. Pendleton'' when it tied up at the Frank Miller Lumber Company dock The boat cleared St. Augustine, Fla, about two weeks ago with a cargo of lumber for this city.
 While still three days off Sandy Hook, Captain Charles S. Coombs of the vessel was approached by En- gineer Henry J. Sunderland. who de- nanded that he be landed at once. The captain ordered the man to his quar- ters, and gave the matter no further thought until, shortly after dark, the engineer came running towards the captain, brandishing a. heavy wrench above his head He again demanded
 to be set ashore, nd the captain, fear ing that the madrnan would do him bodily injury, summoned the members Asof the crew.
 There was a terrific struggle in which
 the maniac injured three of the six men of the crew before he was over powered. As he was being tied he
 kicked two men, who were confined
 to their hunks for some time as the
 result. When the boat reached San l dy Hook, Sunderland was transferred l to a tug and turned over to the proper
 authorities.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

"I did not know you were keeping store here, else l would have
been around to patronize yot,' was what a coored man was over
heard to say to a colored business man a few days ago. This bust
ness man had been a. the one stand for several years, but this friend
did not know it. He was managing to make a living, but he had not
gotten his friends trade because he had neglected to let his friends
know that he was in business.
How many friends were there just like the first? How many dol
lars had this colored man lost through neglect to notify the public
which includes his friends.
The business man did not even resort to the somewhat out-of-
date method of scattering circulars. He had never considered adj
vertsing. He, too, knew that white merchants who have built their
business from small beginning to large propositions had been large
users of advertising space in the newspapers. He did not seem to
care to know that the public largely patronized these merchants be-
cause they let the community know what they had for sale. He was
still in the beginning class, making but little more than a laborer
gets.
Mr.. Coored Business Man, the opportunity is yours, like that Of
the white man who began small. The race wants to support you, but
wants you to let the public know what you have.
Try the Sun for results.

how 1 gained courage, and plunged in
by stirling with the one on top--it was
the Oklahoma-O, there | GO, I didn't
mean to call any names, but the
press work on that particular pour
nal was so poor that one could not
even properly translate the answers
to Booker Washington's article, ask

lions for Negro passengers over GER
tain railroad lines; which was brave
ly undertaken. The Dallas Express
came in for a similar criticism while
the Boston Alliance and Conservative
Counsellor is void of that harmon
ious toning with other parts of the
papers on account of too much front
page advertisement. In others there
were similar and even more grievous
errors.
The colored papers that take first
rank in typographical cleanliness and
mechanical accuracy are the Amster.
dam News, Richmond Planet, Kansas
City Sun, and New York Age.
1t is with no small degree OF ap-
probation that 1 review the merits
and dement's of these journals and
journalists, who are struggling as 1
am; for to publish a Negro Journal
at this period means sacrifice at
every stopover. I see written in great
red headlines at the head of the mean

conspicuously in Negro papers there
is but one conclusion to come to, and
| that is that finance is oh. so short.
