IN MEMORIAM

(ln loving remembrance of my
darling niece, Henrietta Dixon Jones,
who passed away on July oath. aged
six years and -four dayS,)
Death doth come when least expected,
No hand on earth can stay its pow
er;
The fair, the healthy and the strong
All perish like flower.
Just when her life was brightest
Just when her hopes were best,
She was called from this world of
sorrow
To her home Of eternal rest.
Ever remembered by
UNCLE HARRY.

Negro women. who are house ser

homes of the city, have been busy
for days repeating these things to
their mistresses. with the result that
the whole community has become agi-
tated to the very core. To all this.
of course, is coupled the natural
alarm which every husband and

Climax Finally Reached


The whole thing came to head last
Saturday night when mobS organ
lied in half dozen sections of the
Black Belt, bent upon showing the
negro population of Washington that
this is white mans town and that
white men not only purpose to run
it but to make safe their homes.
Feeling between the two races in
Washington has been far from cordial
for the last three or four years. This
is the most attractive city in the
country TO the average negro. He
comes to Washington with the as
surancc that he will have more or
less equality with the whites.
Politicians have been responsible for
this 10 a greater or less extent. The
negro has been dealt with tendcrly
in Washington for the political effect
outside the city. He has been given
political Office. He has been placed
alongside white men and women in
Government departments No effort
has been made to scgregatc the race
here, and no discrimination of any
sort has been practiced against the
black inhabitants.
As result there are thousands
of negro men and women who are
fit for mental service only, but who
are deluded into the notion that they
do not have to become the servants
of white families. This attitude
on the part of the negroes has
aroused the resentment of the white
people and little by little the two ele-
ments of the capital population have
been antagonizing each other.
When the rioting came, THEREFORE it
was not confined to the negro sec
tions of the city by any means. The
most desperate of the attacks were
made in the very heart Of the city
and were participated in by the best
people of the town.
Man Hunt Near Capitol.
As 4 result OF vicious attempt
on the part of a negro to criminally
assault Mrs. Helen Nightingale. 81
years old and mother of two chill
dren, every white male citizen of
Capitol Heights. Prince Georges
county, old enough to carry a gun
has joined an armed posse that is
beating the country in that ncighbor-
hood for trace of the assailant.
Capitol Heights is just across the
District of Columbia line. and that
assault was attempted last might
while the city of Washington was in
the throes of the worst race riot in its
history.
Mrs. Nightingale, who is the wife
of Edward Nightingale, an employee
of the Washington Navy Yard, was
attacked while walking near her
home. Members of the posse have
expressed determination to lynch
the negro IL they succeed in finding
him. At late hour tonight the
search still was going on.
Seized by the negro, Mrs. Night
ingale was dragged into the yard of
a vacant house. and during her des-
peratc struggle with the negro her
clothes were torn.

WARNING AGAINST POISONOUS
FISH.
Carang Caught In Fish-pots Apt To
Cause Fish Poisoning.

September %. 1918, an epidemic of
fS poisoning occurred in ST. Thomas.
Investigation OF the cases revealed the
fact that all the victims had partaken of
Carang, caught in deep sea fish-pot. In
all, "a cases OF fish poisoning occurred.
On Tuesday last October IA, 1919, prac-
tically the Identical occurrence was re-
peated.
Nine Carangs were caught in a deep
sea tish-poC, and the eleven people who
ate this fish, all were taken sick with
fish poisoning.
1t may be stated that the Carangs
caught on above occasions we're jdenti.
cal in APP earance with the ordinary Seine
Carang, a distinct species as compared
with the we'll known poisonous yellow
back CaranQ.
The underlying factors, causing fish
poisoning, are, in the majority of cases.
obscure. In some fishes a well defined
toxin has been isolated whereas in others
no positive findings have been ascertalned.
With regard to the carang, the cOncpn-
sus of opinion on the subject seems 70 be
that this fish at certain times is very proAe
to spoliatlon with the formation of pois-
onous subtances.
Due to the above facts that fshpoison-
ing has been caused two years in success
sion by eating carang caught in deep fish
pots, around the san e time Of the year.
it is likely that carangs, caught in this
manner between the months of August
and November, inclusive are poisonous.

as little attention as possible. do not
make a fuss about the newspaper
men. camera creatures and idiots gen.
orally. letting IL be seen that you do
not like them and AVOID them, but not
letting them betray you into any ex-
cessive irritation. I believe they will
soon drop you. and 1t is just an un-
pleasant thing that you will have to
1--we down. Ted have had an enor-
nous number OF unpleasant things
that have had to live down in my life
at different times, and You have be-
gun to have them now. l saw that
you were not out on the football field
on Saturday and was rather glad OF
! 1t, as evidently those Internal idiots
| were eagerly waiting for you, but
whenever you do go you will have to
! make up your mind that they will
make it exceedingly unpleasant for
you for once or twice, and YOU will
just have to bear It; for you can never
] in the world afford to let them drive
you away from anything you intend
! TO do. whether 1t is football or any
thing else, and by going about your
own business quietly and pleasantly.
doing just what you would do IL they
were not there, generally they will get
tired Of 1t. and the boys themselves
will see that IT is not your fault, and
will feel. II anything. rather a sympa-
thy for you. Meanwhile want you to
know that We are all thinking Of you
and sympathizing with you the whole
time; and 1t Is a great comfort to me
to have such confidence in you and
to know that though these creatures
can cause you a little trouble and
make you feel a little downcast, they
cannot drive you one way or the other.
or make you alter the course you have
set out for yourself.
We were all of US. I am almost
ashamed to say, rather blue at get

because we missed Sycamore Hill so

Archie's room where they both showed
all their china animals: ! read them
Laura E. Richards poems, including
"How does the President take his

Punkey Doodle and Jollapin. from the
chorus Of this, and Immediately after
wards I played with them on Achie's

tickle Jollapin while Punkey Doodle
squalled and wiggled on top OF him.
and then reverse them and keep Pun
key Doodle down by heaving Jollapin
on him, while they both kicked and
struggled until my shirt front looked
very much the worse for wear. You

it was for me. when was dressed
