that she was ready to fight Mira Jack
son with her two fists or otherwise. .
The most dastsrdly and damnable thing
was that there was not one manly mar
or womanly woman present who had the
moral courage to gently remind Mrs
Mason that that was not the time MOI
place for her to spew out her personal
bitter feeling against Mrs. Jackson
that she is not running for alderman Of
the Second Ward, that she had no moral
right on earth 10 drag Mrs. Jackson
into the very bitter political contest
between her husband and Mr.. De Priest.
In this connection we desire to state
in the plainest language at our CON-
mand that for more than eighteen years
that we have come in contact with Mrs.
jackson on many occasions that she has
always borne q most excellent reputs-
ton; that her character has always been
above reproach, that it was the very
first time that we have ever heard any
one question it before; that she has al
ways freely mixed or mingled with the
very best and the most highly respect
able people in this city and in other
parts of this broad land; that she has
always shown the greatest consideration
for all those whom she comes in con-
tact with; that she is modest and unas-
suming in her manner; that she is
plain, sensible and very domestic; that
she dearly loves her pleasant home;
that she is devoted to her husband and
to her children; that for some years
past she has not enjoyed very good
health and as q result Of that fact she
seIdoms appears in society and right
here it can be truthfully stated that
there are thousands Of women residing
in the Second Ward and in other parts
of this city who firmly believe in fan
play, even in politics, who win never for
give Mrs. Mason for 50 brntally assail-
ing the character and the reputation
of Mrs. jackson in a public political

As an evidence of this fact on Mon

NEGRO SOLDIERS IN NUBIAN
WARS.

From George W. Williams History
of the Negro Troops in the War OF the
Rebellion, and from Burekhardt' Trav-
els in Nubia, we find that ''in modern As
well rs ancient Nubia Negro troops were
employed in large numbers-" The Sui
tan of wara has among his troops many
Negro soldiers At Mocha Negroes were
highly esteemed as soldiers, and as such
were kept in numbers by some Of the
more powerful chiefs Of southern Arabia,
playing prominent part in the Nubian
and Arabian wars.
Negro Soldiers In sapsn-
In the wars of the far on empire Of
Japan the Negro soldier played a dis
tinguished and conspicuous part.
s'we can cross the whole Of Asia"
says DR.. Chamberlin, "and find the
Negro again, for, when in far on japan
the ancestors of the modern Japanese
were making their way nOrthward
against the Ainu, the abOrigines Of
that country, the leader Of their armies
was Sakanouye Tamuramaro, a famous
general and Negro"
Negro Soldiers In Russia.
The Negro distinguished himself in
the Russian army. DIR. Chsmberlin has
pointed out that among the favorites Of
Peter the Great was an Abyssinian
Negro, who was educated in France and
who was given the name of Hannivalov,
and who because Of his distinguished
military services in the Russian wars
rose to the rank Of general and received
many other important honors bestowed
upon him by the Russian government.
His SON became a general Of artillery
and built the harbor of Cherson- The
SON Of this great Russian Negro general
gave to the world in his son, A 8.
Pushkin (17s9) perhaps the greatest and
sweetest singer Of the Russian poets.
Negro Soldiers In British wars.
The Negro has won for himself q high
place in the British army, navy and
British wars. John Perkins and John
Nesbitt, two Negro soldiers, rose by
special military services to the rank of
commissioned officers in the British
navy. There is a law that no foreign
nationality may be officers in the fight
ing forces of the crown; yet, Baptiste
Lspointe, Negro, because Of special
and distinguished military services, was
promoted to the rank Of general in the
British army. Negro soldiers by the
Thousands fought with success and dar-
ing courage in the British wars in the
West Indies, in West and South Africa,
in America and in other lands, and to-
day thousands Of them are stationed in
the British colonies scattered around
the world, and thousands have been
called from British Africa to partiei-
pate in the present struggle that is being
staged across the seas.

JUDGE KENssAw MOUNTAIN

DOLLARS OUT OF TIDE ZIP
POCKET OF COL. sHADRACH BAL
LEY TURNER, WHO CLAIMED
fHAf BE HAD STANDING AND
INFLUENCE WITH TIDE JUDGE.

Col. shzdrach Bailey Turner, Negro
lawyer and politician, was fined 800 for
contempt Of court Tuesday by Federal
Judge K. n. Lands for saying to DR..
A. B. Mercer, Negro, after he left the
witness stand: ~''It's . lie. Every
word you have said 10 . hs.'
DR.. Mercer, who had gotten into trOu-
bic with the court for charging $50 for
making bond fer p. W. Rffe, Q Negro,
accused As q postofiee thief, had sworn
that Turner had approached him, asked
for fee, and told him that he chad
influence with Judge Landis. ~
Sam Wright, another Negro, in trou.
BILE over the same bond, testified that
Turner had told him Of ''inhuence with
Connissioner Mason" When Mercer
left the stand and took his place be-
side Turner, before the Bench, Turner
frowned and whispered to Mercer.
Denial ". Affirmation
"what did he ssyi" asked the court.
"He called me . har," said Mercer.
Mercer was put back. on the stand
and testified under oath that the lie had
been passed. Judge Lands then asked
Turner if he would swear he didn I
say it.
a. He said he would; whereat Judge
Landis put william L. Martin, Negro
attorney, fin troubls" over. the same
Rife case, on the stand. He swore he
had heard Turner can Mercer o liar.
y'Now viii you swear itf' asked the
court.
"I'd rather take something else up
frst, " said Turner. 4 -
chsck Il Turned Down.
1t was here that Judge Lands ordered
Turner to pay 900 for contempt. He
offered q check. He was given until
noon today to get the money. Sworn,
Turner was asked by the court:
. 'tDid you say you had influence
with met"
"I haven't got any influence with
you, "he replied.
81 didn't ask you that. i know you
haven't got influence with me-" said
Judge Landis. "I asked you il you
said you had"
emo. your honor, didn u" said
Turner.
It was no more than to be expected
that Col. Turner would run up against
q buzz-saw in this direction For many
years past he and several other Col0Ted
men in this same class have boldly and
constantly let il be known, while loudly
talking on the corners Of the streets,
that they had influence and could fx
this, that or the other judge as the case
might be; and hundreds of ignorant
Colored people, not knowing anything
pertaining to the courts, their useges,
and the laws, have freely turned over
thousands Of dollars Of their money to
this class of Colored gentlemen, who
have in most eases informed them that
they needed no lawyer to handle their
eases in the courts; that they could get
them out Of trouble much more easily
with their pun and influence with the
states attorney and by fixing the
judges
1t ID. too bad that Col or Brother
Turner got hooked up With Judge Lam
dis, who lifted without the slightest
compunetion enc hundred dollars out of
his hip pocket for contempt Of court
and for holding out the idea that he had
influences vita him; that he could sway
him, either one way OF the other, in
rendering his decisions, either in favor
or against the Iitigants in his court
