There are plenty of tense, gripping situations in the fye-part screen drama "The Bludgeon," showing at the Stope theatre tonight Behind the dramatic episodes of the play, and in fact their main spring, is a story of love, social ambition, and the whole round a woman who endeavors to live beyond the means her husband is able to provide.

II believe, says Miss Gardner, "that as

an equal. Symmetrical features and
clearness Of skin are desirable gifts.
and the possessor Of them is fortunate,
indeed, but beauty Of expression is to
be envied more than a beautiful COM
plexion. .v..- ..
Unlike upon the speaking stage. the
figures on the screen are enlarged to
many times their natural size. and In

tress Is thorough mistress of the art
OF expressive action and by it attracts
and holds the interest and sympathy
Of her audiences. Paint and powder
and colored stage settings play no part
In the influence she exercises or the
attention she commands. It is her
beauty-not the.symmetrical beauty of
face or figure, but the beauty of truth
and the magnetism of soul reflected
and glorifed in 'expression'-thati is the
real charm.

N. c, on Account Of Race Prejudice.
By GEORGE =. KING.
Wilmington, N. C.-That the young
men Of our race in this section Of the
country are daily becoming more In
terested in movements that win make
for lettering conditions in the south
generally is being strikingly evidenced
BY many in this city who have made
remarkable progress in the face Of
great obstacles. But for a number of
years commercial enterprises among
them seemed to be at standstiIL
This economic inertia was not due,
however, to a financial stringency
among the colored people, who receive
wages in this city equal to that paid
Afro-Americans in other sections of
the south. Negroes own and conduct
most excellent farms, and there is not
any city in North Carolina wherein
our people pay more taxes on real e.
tate than is true Of those living In VII
mington.
Another encouraging feature to be
considered is that as a rule the Afro
American residents are not so closely
segregated here as they are In some

success Of friends and visitors to the
city. This was shown at the recent
convention Of Odd Fellows held here.
In speaking Of Sergeant Homer
some time ago the Boston Globe said:
HE IN the only colored man In the
Boston police department and one of
the best policemen in the city. He il
also one Of our best and most constant
friends. Sergeant Homer not only
knows the police business throughout,
but he knows men, and he knows the
world, having been a wide traveller
before he became a policeman"
Sergeant Homer was born in Farm
tngton, Conn, May "A, 1s4s, and was
educated in the public schools at the
place Of his birth. He commenced &C.
tive work as waiter and graduated
from that into the position Of steward
on q steamboat. He also held posi-
tons on railroads, and in these posi-
tons he travelled all over the country,
touching every state in the Union. He
had many experiences In wrecks,
where he had narrow escapes. He Is
widely known and has many friends.
He was appointed to the police de-
partment Dec. "a, 1873, as a Christ
mas token and was assigned to duty
as q messenger In headquarters for
the commissioners. He has made
good record in the department, and,
while there have been many changes in
administrations, yet, like the brook, he
continues to 60 on, adding to his fine
record. He has guarded we'll the out
or doors Of the commissioners Offices,
making himself so valuable through
his experience and willingness that
each succeeding board has seen At to
retain him.
1t was In September, 1895, that this
officer was promoted to the rank Of ser
geant as a reward for good work and
faithful service. OF course this carried
with IL an increase of salary. He Is
one Of the busiest men In Boston, for
when he Is not at work for the city he
Is busy making ornaments for his home
out Of the thousands Of Cancelled stamps
which he has collected from time to
time. These ornaments have attracted
much attention, and large numbers of
people have visited his home to see
them. They are used in decoration
in his handsomely furnished home
at $50 Massachusetts, avenue. Nothing
Is more attractive than his bookcase,
which for beauty Of design and perfec-
ton cannot be excelled In any Of the
Boston Back Bay residences.
Step by step he has made his way
to the front, until today there is no
man In the police department who has
made friends and who stands higher
among all classes Of people than Ser
geant Homer. It Is q case where merit
alone has won promotion. In all parts
Of the country are to be found In vari-
Gus avenues Of activity men Of the
race who are making good and that
are being heard from. Sergeant Ho
mer is but one Of the many.

Of the larger cities, but there Ia ten
dency to keep them out Of desirable
sections once member of the race
moves from such section. Skilled
workmen Of the race are doing well.
The carpenters have held their own In
this section and control much Of the
work In their line. This IL also true
Of members Of the race In the bricklay-
ing trade.
But the white mechanics in the lines
above named have combined against
them 10 some extent, which Is strongly
indicated by the fact that the majori-
ty Of the white building and loan asso-
Citations will not allow Afro-Americans
holding shares In their associations
when making loans to build homes to
give contracts to Afro-Americans, but
the work must be done by white men
under the supervision Of the associa-
tion. Such discrimination aroused the

When this movement was being con.
sidered one Of the leading factors In
the effort was Thomas. 81. Williams, a
native Of this city and a young man
with broad conceptions Of the posi-
bflities Of the race to succeed along
business lines. He IL a member of the

Mr.. Trotter's Interview.


ground.
Mr.. Trotter's Interview.
The recent interview of Mr.. VIM
Trotter, the intrepid agitator for the
rights of his race, with the President
of the United States, has served as
occasion to bring this issue into keen
public consideration and discussion.
For twenty years Mr.. Trotter has
been the most outspoken agitator of
his race, standing out in CONSPICUOUS
and acrid opposition to the more
passive and pacific spirit and doctrine
of Booker T. Washington. In the in
tensity of his ardor he has been so
violently denunciatory and so bitter
ly intolerant as to ALLEVIATE the SYM
pathy and cooperation even of the
radical spirits of his own race.
Courtesy of Utterance.
1t is to be deeply deplored if Mr..
Trotter, carried away by zeal for his
cause, indicated any unbecoming
temper or feeling in the presence of
the President of the United States.
The Negro will wisely preserve be-
coming constraint of manner, and
carefulness and caution of utterance,
even though he labors under burdens
which would cause any other element
Of our population to violate accepted
ceremonies of procedure in urging
demands. The just claim of the race
will hardly be advanced by spectacu-
lar methods like those of the suffra-
gettes in England.
Courtesy Does Not Indicate Con-
cession.
On. the other hand, the American
people should not be led to suppose
that the race has settled into COM
placent satisfaction with unjust dis
because it fails to pre-
sent its cause in terms of spectacular
and dramatic appeal. Albeit, the Ne
gro is long-suffering; nevertheless
he suffers long. The temper of the
spokesman bears but incidently upon
the cause which he represents. Mr..
Trotter headed the delegation to pro-
test to the President against the |
growing practice of segregation of
the Negro in the civil service of the
United States.
Federal Statutes Free from Dis
. elimination.
The Federal statute books, so far,
ire free from race or class legis1a-
ion. AT the time of the founding
IF the Constitution one-fifth of the
population was of African blood and
iervile status. But the far-seeing
wisdom of the founder omitted racial
designation or discrimination in the
'rganic law. A government Boosting !

OF equality as its basic principle
which should deliberately debase the
weak and helpless among its own
citizens would be an anomaly in the
eyes of the nations of the earth.
Amid all of the passions and tumult
of the anti-slavery conflict the
Federal statutes were kept free from
the odium of race distinction. The
obiter dictum of Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court which injected race
distinction into the decision of that
tribunal was swiftly repudiated by
the moral indignation of the aroused
conscience of the American people.
For this government, today, to de-
clare that the Negro shall not enjoy
identical rights and privileges with
the rest of his fellow-citizens would
be equivalent to the re-establishment
OF the discredited dogma of Judge
fancy. Indeed the principle involved
IS just as vital to the ideal of the
nation today as it was sixty years
ago, although the public conscience
my be less keenly alive to it.
The Far-Reaching Significance of
Segregation.
To the casual observer the ASSIGN
ment of space in a government build
ing to handful of colored civil sery-
ice employees would seem to be a
matter of trivial Importance. But
closer inspection reveals a deeper
significance. 1t is but the thin blade
of the wedge whose entrance threat
ems to split the log asunder. Should
the National Government adopt this
seemingly simple provision it would
thereby sanction all of the discrim-
inatory legislation on the statute
books of the several States and would
suggest and justify all such enact
ments in the future.
The Plight of the Negro.
The present plight of the Negro
is a significant commentary on the
doctrine that the white race is good
enough to become the beneficent gov
ernor of the Negro without his con-
sent or participation. There are
100000 Negroes in the United
States who are rapidly progressing
in intelligence and wealth and in re-
sponsible elements of power. He has
no voice in making, administering
or interpreting the laws by which he
is to be governed.

There is no voice answering back.

officer of the Government would dare
whisper concerning any other ele-
nent of the nation. But the Negroes
ongue is tied and his voice is hushed
because of his political nullity.

SEGREGATION.
(By Prof. Kelly Miller.)

The eternal Negro question has
been a disturbing element in public
and national discussion from the
foundation of the government down
to the present hour. The public mind
may seek temporary relief by focus
ing attention on economic material
issues; the perplexed statesman may
put it aside for some more con-
venient season; yet ever anon it re-
ours with undated aggrevation.
Even the carnage of the war of
nations entailing the most awful toll
of death that the world has ever ex-
perienced. and which has for the past
few months shunted from public con-
sideration and discussion every other
issue of national or international in
terest, has not been able to relegate
the Negro question to the back
ground.
