GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF THE EAR L OF boutwell,

TO their law of arms. in their presence or
in that of their deputies: at which time
and place he promises and swears on the
word of a gentleman, to be present and
do his duty, provided their majesties
will. by proclamation, grant safe conduct
to him and his company to pass and re-
pass through their domnions without
any molestatfon."
To this Boutwell, made no reply. He
had made the bluff and married Mary,
but their union was not to be of long
duration for he was compelled to fee
the country. Mary escaped to England,
where she was imprisoned and finally
executed by Queen Elizabeth.

Fishermen will be interested in the re.
markable statement of Prof. Hugh NJ
Smith, United States commissioner of
fish and fisheries, that when eels spawn
they migrate to the deep sea, and that
their eggs are never deposited less than
1000 meters below the surface The eggs,
however, owing to their natural buoyancy
rise almost to the surface, where they
hatch out. The most remarkable fact
about the eel is that the larvae float
for an entire year without partaking of a
particle of food. They often traverse 1000
miles of water before reaching the inland
streams. Another surprising fact is that
all individuals of both sexes die i'm
mediately after having once spawned The
eel was an object of mystery and sub
ject of speculation in the times of Aris-
totle, and so he remains today.

Mr.. WILSON AND "sEGREGATIoN."

New York.-To the Editor of THE
APPEAL. Sir: The interview of Will
liam Munroe Trotter and the delega-
ton of colored gentlemen with the
President Of the United States brings
forward again the burning question Of
the treatment Of colored civil servants
IN washington. The whole incident
shows grimly and forcefully how deep
~ the colored people of this country
feel the injustice which Mr.. Wilson's
government has inflicted upon them
and still inflicts.
The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has been
fighting segregation in federal depart
ments ever since the first rumor OF it
was made public. Over year ago an
investigator was sent to Washington
and report printed. Since that time
q representative of the national as

segregation has disappeared.

moved to its new quarters it was the
original idea to segregate colored and
white people throughout the entire
building, but through the efforts of
this association there is no segrega.
t1on In the lunchrooms or on the root

still exists in the Postoffice Depart
ment and in the Treasury, and pos.
sibly here and there in a small de-
gree in other places.
1t still remains true that for the first
time in half century a President of
the United States and distinguished
members of his Cabinet have deemed
1t necessary for the peace and quiet
OF these United States that clerks in
the federal service, having passed the
same examinations and receiving the
same rate of pay, must be separated
in their work if the ancestors of any
of them had a drop of Negro blood.
In some cases the "colored" clerks
have been so white in appearance that
the officials themselves have made
mistakes in classifying them. In other
cases clerks of all colors have pro.
tested against the attempted separa.
ton. Always the separation has
caused humiliation and inconvenience

Providence, R. /. At last the deci-
sion of the board of directors of the
Y. M. G. A. has been handed down
and it resolved itself into a very
concrete form which was set forth in
a resolution offered by the committee
on membership, which was as follows:
The Victory.
The Providence Journal published
the following report: $3.50 .sa
That no distinction because Of race
or sect will be considered in receiving
applications for membership in the
Providence Young Mems Christian AS.
ISOLATION was the decision reached by
the board of directors of that institu-
ton at meeting held last evening.
This action was taken by the direc.
tors because of objections from some
persons to the admission of C0lored
men to membership in the organiza-
ton and particularly in the many ad-
vantages offered by the new building.
AS soon as it became known that
objection had been offered the matter
was taken up by different .colored
organizations and others interested
and the directors were urged to take
action. Following is a statement CIV
en- out by the directors after last eve
ning's meeting: .-..s .n..

no reason exists for any change in

quirements for membership"
-. And we demand Mr.. Hawkins resig-
nation. 1t seems to us that II Mr..
Hawkins could read between the lines
he would send in his resignation and
not wait until it was asked for. We
hope that he will remember that he
is in Providence and not in the South
nor Southwest; now let the board of
directors exact of Mr.. Hawkins an
explanation Of his actions which has
caused them to be held up to the
ridicule of the world
This was one of the times when
the Colored people were united in an
effort and they should be given much
credit for their united stand. They
are very jubilant over the victory.
The fight was led by Rev. J. H.
Wiley and Rev. S. w. Smith for the
New England Suffrage League and Mr..
J. G. Minkins, Rev. J. Harrison and
DR.. Robinson for the N. A. A. G. P.
branch. We have already renewed
our membership. We hope that every
reader of the Guardian will read the
letter from the pen of M. E. l.. Sing
sen, a white man, to the Providence
Sunday Journal and see if you think
that all our friends are dead. We wish
to say to those who live in towns
and cities where segregation is pro-
posed, fight it with all your might and
if you need any points we will gladly
give you the benefit of our experience
here, ...-

"Beer a Food"

Professor Charles Frederick ,Chand-
Ter Of Columbia University, well
known chemist, declares that beer is
the best brain food. In a recent ad-
dress he said Beer is beverage
prepared from barley, water, hops and
yeast. Beer is food. American beer
contains 6 per cent solid food, only
8 to 4 per cent alcohol and also
lecithin, which is real brain food.
Beer and bread both made from GER
calls; bread with water and is solid;
beer with more water and is liquid.
Yeast converts both into palatable and
readily digested food. Both contain
alcohol. Beer is not intoxicating in
ordinary quantities and beer is one
of the foods that is free from bac-
terra. It is appetizing and aids d.
gestion. l don't believe there is any
beer made in the United States that is
what you call adulterated. It may be
misbranded, but not adulterated. II

household they will deprive large
