THE TENTH oLYMPIAD.

Not since the days of the Spanish
American War, with its memorable
Battle of San Juan Hill, has any event
so glorified the American Negro, as
has the victories of the colored ath-
letes in the Olympic contests brought
to a close last Sunday at Los Ange-
les. l refer of course to Eddie Tolan
of Michigan, Ralph Metcalfe of Mar
quette, Ed Gordon of Iowa and other
dark skinned contestants. While the
athletic provinces and abilities of
these young men were well known
throughout the United States, little
is heard of us, favorably, in foreign
countries. 1t is a well known fact
that Americans travelling in Europe
seek to belittle and disparage the
American Negro. They love to brag
and boast of how they keep him down,
'how to keep him in his place." is a
favorite saying. Naturally the
American Negro, at home, is looked
upon by foreigners as having no place
in the public eye. Imagine then,
what an impression the brilliant per-
formances of three men and the won
derful applause and cheering given
our brown skinned citizens of merit,

People continue to tell me that if
I don't stop writing SO viciously, /
will get into trouble. My word, If
that isn't something? 1 have been
nagged and berated about not con
Quoting more poppy column, / have
been asked, why don't you write
some REAL SCANDAL% A few
weeks ago 1 happened to let loose on
few male scandal-mpnge who
justly deserved what they were get
ting, and what was the result? men
toned three and dozen took offense.
There were hurt feelings, wrong atti-
tudes, and other tragedies. Most of
you have been asking for SOME
THING TO TALK ABOUT, and when
you get it, you wag your finger at
me and humble something about
You'll get into trouble"
Ever since this column began, folks
have been dissatified with what has
appeared. The very first time, I try
to pep things up bit, 1 find quite
a few people with guilty consciences
giving all evidences of staying awake
nights trying to figure out some way
to embarrass me publicity as 1 was
SUPPOSED to have embarrassed
them. I found one young insect pry-
ing into my private affairs so that
he would be able to shout: "She has
fine lot of nerve writing about ANY
ONE ELSE!" AS 1 am no angel with
halo around my head, by this time
the gentleman may be shouting his
loudest.
1t is not pleasant to have your best
boy friend suddenly go ga-ga over
some other girl, but when the tragedy
happens why do nine out of ten girls
get angry at the other girl instead
of putting some of the blame on the
male element in the case? Even with
the absence of backbone that is pre-
valent in some of the modern Romeos,
it is silly to believe that if a boy
doesn't want to be bothered, he can't
find way of making an escape from
the most dangerous feminine wiles.
And so if the big moment suddenly
begins to have the Interested" look
in his eyes when some certain femme
appears, just try and relax until the
storm passes over, because as far as
know there aren't any girls around
these cities that are CARLOS enough to
"vamp' even the most weakened
males AGAINST THEIR WILL.

must have had on delegates from
South Africa, land where the black
people are oppressed and ostracised
far more severely than in America.
Then too, it was great eye opener
for the Europeans, who more or less
are prone to side with the Nordics.
But more gratifying than to any
other of the visiting contestants was
Tolans victory to the South Amer
leans. The athletes from Argentine
Paraguay and other Latin American
countries simply went wild with joy,
they showered congratulations on To-
Ian, picked him up and carried him
on their shoulders. You see South
America has much larger percent
age of dark people than the United
States, with no prejudice or color line.
They are. perfectly familiar with ra-
ical conditions as they exist on this
side of the Rio Grande, hence their
deep sympathy and immense happi-
ness over the great showing our boys
have made. Truly the Tenth Olym.
piad was a great boon to the Negro,
giving him as it did, chance to prove
his ability. Colored Americans ev-
erywhere rejoice and wish Tolan and
Z Metcalfe and all the rest long life and
future triumphs.

House Members May Have to Give Up Their Plans for New Years Eve

Washington, December 2s = (UP) = The house began .consid- eration today of the Agriculture Department appropriation bill, rec duced two-thirds below the cur rent appropriation in the economy drive of the majority leadership.
 The senate was in recess until Friday.
 Chairman Norris of the senate judiciary committee failed to ob- tain Q quorum for consideration of the house beer bill. As a result, committee action on the modifi- cation measure will be delayed un- til next Monday.
 The conference report on Philip pine independence legislation was filed in the house. 1t will come up for action probably Thursday.
 Possibility of a general revenue bill being drawn by the house ways and means committee this session, dimmed due to Governor Rooseyelt's stand against the sales tax. Chairman Collier said, how ever, he would call the group to- sider possible sources of new rev. enue.
 House members were faced with the possibility of having their New Years eve plans disrupted as dem- ocratic house leaders threatened to hold a Saturday session.
 Majority Leader Rainey said he hoped to have the second defi- ciency appropriation bill ready for consideration by that time.

CONNECTICUT GAS SALES

 Industry On Way To Recovery.

crease in volume as industry grad ually recovers.
 "One of the pleasant accom- plishments of the year has been the development of much improved relations between the gas compa- nies and their natural allies, the Master Plumbers and Hardware Dealers of Connecticut.
 "The gas industry in Connecticut is prepared to go forward just as rapidly as business conditions im- prove. How much improvement will take. place in 1893 is a very hazardous guess. believe that we have passed the low point of the depression and that we may look for very gradual improvement, perhaps marked by occasional re- sessions, during the first two- thirds of 1883, with possibly some acceleration in the rate of im- provement during the last part of the year. The gas industry, one of Connecticut's strong, basic indus tries alive to the possibilities of the future, will unquestionably take a leading part in bringing about the return to better times"

NEW RACKET WAS LOST BECAUSE
 OF REPETITION

Boston. Dec. 28--(UP)-Repeti- ton proved the. ruination of Char ley O'Conpelrs racket today. .O'Connell, a youth of 20 who said he lived at 107 East 93rd street, New York city. allegedly stole a total of $k4 from two Boston un- dertaking firms by posing as tho son of q woman who had just died at Boston city hospital.
 Tho, William H. Graham under- taking corporation, which gave p'Connell $4.50, investigated and found that nd Mrs O'connell had died at the hospital. So when Charley returned to the Graham parlors today for Q second loan he was arrested on larceny charge. O'Connell told police he had worked his racket profitably in New York aud New Jersey before Invading the. Boston field, and had victimized Catholic priests as well as morticians.
 His system, authorities said, was to call the victims by telephone. pose as a telegraph company clerk, and read them q purported telegram from Q New York funeral service, asking that the under- takers care for O'Connell and bill the service for their expenses. ~The fake telegram would be followed shortly by a visit from O'Connell.

With sales which fell off prob ably less than those of any other class of public utilities, the manu- factured gas industry in Connecti- cut withstood the economic batter ing of the year Of 1882 in very able manner and because of it's stability and essentially the indus try will unquestionably take a lead ing part in bringing about the re- turn of better times, according to a statement issued today by H. R.. Sterrett, vice president and gen. eral manager of the New Haven Gas Light company.
 Mrs Sterrett points out that based upon figures for the first nine months of the year, domestic gas sales in Connecticut dropped only 3.9 per cent as compared with 1881 which was less than in New Eng land as a whole, but. because of the large number of industries con- centrated here, industrial and com mercial sales suffered more greatly than In the other states in the region. He believes that the low point of the depression has been passed.
 MT Sterretts statement, summar- izing progress in the gas industry during 1892, points out the follow ing figures:
 "The latest available figures show that while the domestic use of gas decreased AS per cent in New England during the first 9 months of 1882 as compared with the same period of 1881, domestic gas sales in Connecticut fell off only 3.9 per cent. However, be- cause of its large number of in- dustries, the loss of gas used for industrial and commercial pur- poses in Connecticut exceeded that in other New England states. This class of business will doubtless in-

Everything pertaining to the safety of people is essentially a matter for the office of the fire marshal. The regulation of ammonia plants, painting establishments, gasoline stations, oil burners, the storage of infiammable oils, tho necessity of providing proper ventage for in- flammables, the assignment of uni- formed. flremen for all public in- door assemblies, proves conclusive ly you are trying to keep up with well regulated fire departments.
