Mamma, or gaz, is white glutinous
substance popularity identified with
the mamma of the Scriptures, which is
found upon the branches and leaves
of trees in Persia, particularly of the
tamarlsk, where 1t is said to be depos-
tied by small, pale-green insect. The
natives scrape it off the leaves and
make 1t sometimes into a paste, but
more often into a sweetmeat called
gezangebin, which, although cloying
to the palate, is agreeable to the taste,
resembling superior and less sticky

$4,000 DISCOVERED ON NEGRo's
ESTATE.
Property in All Parts of City Left by
Samuel Carter, Plain Hard
vvorker

Louisville, KY, Nov. 10.-The filing
for probate yesterday of the will of
Samuel Carter, Negro, who could
not sign his own name to the docu-
ment, disposing of property valued at
$4,000, revealed story of work,
thrift and saving.
Most persons who knew Carter, and
he was widely known throughout the
city and county, Thought him a Ia
borer dependent upon the toll of his
hands at odd jobs. Instead the aged
Negro owned property scattered in va
rious sections of Louisville. The bene
ficiary is Frances Virginia Owens, a
teacher in the Western Colored
School, whose family Carter had
known for fifty years and who had
been kind to him.
Carter worked wherever he could
find work to do and at almost any
thing. He never married and had no
regular home, living where he was
employed or taking up temporary
quarters here and there. For time
he was employed as a herdsman for
sheep in Cherokee Park. He usually
worked during the spring and sum-
mer for truck gardeners in the county,
and during the winter months did
Shoi 60 vi hSSSptCu any hihu vi Cih
ployment he could find in the city. No
one ever knew him to pass an idle
day. He spent almost nothing. More
than half century ago he began buy
ing property.
He would mortgage one house or bit
of land to buy another. and then pay
off and redeem the former. This pro
cedure was repeated many times.
Only few weeks ago he gave up
work when i'll health forced him to
bed. He was removed to the Red
Cross Hospital for Negroes, and at
tended by the teacher. Carter died
Tuesday night. He left no immediate
relatives.

OLD FARMER HAD $4,000
IN ORDINARY CIGAR BOX.

Clarksdale, Miss.-Deputy Sheriff
Talbert was given considerable of a
surprise few days ago. An old col
ored farmer, accompanied by his aged
wife, came into the sheriff's office
and inquired as to the amount of
taxes due on their small holding of
farm property. The small amount
was in the neighborhood of $50.
The old gentleman pulled out a
check which had been paid to him by
wellknown white planter of the
Delta section, which called for 1899.
The sheriff's office force was stumped
not having enough money to cash the
check, SO the deputy told the old man
he would have to go to the bank for
1t, offering him a note of introduc-
ton.
Never mind" said the old man,
I'll just pay you while I'm here, as
am in hurry to get home. Come
here, old lady, and give me that box" !"
His wife pulled out an ordinary cigar
box from under her old shawl and
handed 1t to her husband. When he
opened it, the eyes of the officials
began to bulge. 1t was literally
packed with bills, from among which
he pulled $50 note and paid his
taxes.
'How much money have you in that
box?" asked Deputy Sheriff Talbert.
"Oh, there is only $4,000 here. I'm
going to stop at the bank when
leave here" at the same time refus-
ing the deputy's request that he be al
lowed to count 1t for him.

sMALLEY SPEAKS IN NO UEcER-

(Robt. smalley, Jr., Chicago, ILL.,,

(Robt. Smalley, Jr., Chicago, ILL.,,
Wisconsin Weekly Blade.)
We are now facing one of the great
est crises the Republican party has
faced in sixty years. A thing that
not only hurts the Negro, but the eau
casian as well The Negro is 100 per
cent Republican and his vote was
cast for the uplift of his race, and for
the party that has done so much for
him. We have people Of all classes
coming to this country from out of
the bonds of slavery only to bring
about trouble. They try to make
slaves out of the poor Negro who
shed his blood that this country might
be free. There never was time that
the Negro has failed to answer the
call of his country. When the I'm
mortal Lincoln through the gift of God
lifted the Negro from the bonds of
slavery it was not until every ounce
of strength had been used by the
white man of the North did he con-
slider the Negro power, and he is still
a power
After the North had restored peace,
they came back to their homes in the
North and left the poor Negro to
WdnueT dDOuI Ou tne plains iihO VIM
beasts. What happened? The South
ern white man with all his hatred fell
upon him, took all his belongings
and disfranchised him of all his
rights. In the South if the Negro
had his just dues there would never
be National Democratic administraa-
ton. We hope when the Republican
party returns to power it will see
that the Negro is given fair treatment
and the 14th and 18th amendments
are enforced.
The Negro has always been peaceful
and patriotic. And we trust the day
is not far distant when this down
trodden, despised and rejected race
will come into its own.

which are cultivated vegetables and
flowers for the city markets. They are
formed of floating masses of water
plants covered with soil and secured
by poplar stakes. The latter take root
and surround the island with living

= Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1S.-The
Brown football team furnished a sub
stantial setting today for gridiron
star, Fred Pollard, its Negro halfback.
whose brilliant attack counted most
of the 81 points by which the Bru-
nonians defeated Harvard. Brown,
undefeated through the season, pre-
vented a crimson score and main
tanned it's record of having held its
goal line clear in every game.
Although Pollard was the special OBJ
ject of Harvard's defense, which at
times was so forceful as to draw Off
cial warnings, and in one instance a
penalty for unnecessary roughness, he
was effective in every department of
play. He rushed from close forma-
tions Gran wide and lodged his way
through broken fields for gains Of
from to 40 yards. He received for
ward passes cleanly not only those of
his own team, but also Harvard
passes, which he intercepted. Defen-
sively he was sure tackler, who
often downed the runner.
