Columbus, O. — Floodswept Ohio, from Lake Erie to the Ohio river and from the Indiana to the Pennsylvania state lines, is dotted with wrecked cities and villages whose desolate thousands see no hope ahead. With the rain still descending, shivering in the cold, homeless and hungry, they hardly take heed of the dead screwing the wreckage or of the bodies being carried down stream. The toll of death the second day of destruction all over the state still is mounting. It is useless even to attempt to say how many hundreds have lost their lives. The West Side of Columbus alone has added from 100 to 150 to the total. Besides the capital city at least seven large towns stand in the lead as mourners for the greater number of dead. These are Delaware, Hamilton and Zanzville and the four cities in the Miami valley, Sldney, Piqua, Troy and Miamisburg, which are threatened with annihilation should the immense Lewiston reservoir give way, which it momentarily threatens to do. Governor Estimates 250,000 Homeless. Gov. Cox estimates that more than 250,000 people have been rendered homeless. The state commissary department is making every effort to rush supplies to the many points which need them. The property damage cannot at present be calculated, but will run far into the millions. This includes actual loss by fire and flood and prospective loss where farming lands have been inundated and in many cases washed away. No immediate relief from the flood-bound conditions is in sight. This city, appalled at information of conditions in the West Side, is exerting every effort to aid and give assistance to those in distress as a result of the flood. The true condition of the West Side of the Scioto river, with its 40,000 inhabitants, did not become known until Wednesday morning, when a fleet of motorboats that had patrolled the flooded district all night reported. All along the courses of the boats the men who braved the rushing waters to aid the sufferers found men, women and children either on the roofs or the second floors of their homes. Requests for food and drinking water were heard on every hand. The death roll was swelled by scores when it was reported here that the village of Stratford, five miles south of Delaware, has been wiped out, and the total population of 100 have been drowned.

Delaware is in great need of bread and gasoline with which to cook. After a night of horror for the marooned flood sufferers at Hamilton on all sides Wednesday can be heard rumors of deaths due to the flood. At least a score are known to have perished, and it was reported that more than 100 were killed when a monster reservoir north of Hamilton broke. This latter report was not verified. To add to the horror of the situation fire broke out in the flooded district of Hamilton Wednesday night.

From the Hamilton telephone exchange building many houses were seen floating down the stream. Occupants were seen in some of them. Belmont, near the West Virginia line, is inundated, and four villagers were drowned. With the Ohio river rising rapidly, and all surrounding streams hurling a large volume of water into it, residents of Marietta are alarmed. The towns of Stockport, Beverly, McConnellsville and Pleasant City are under water, and wire and railroad communications have been cut off. Chillicothe, 50 miles south of here, in the Scolto valley is flooded. The Central Union Telephone Co.'s office at that point was under water, cutting off communications with many towns south of Chillicothe. No loss of life is reported. Circleville was cut off from railroad communication Wednesday. FIRE ADDSTO FLOOD HORROR IN DAYTON Latest Estimates of Number of Dead in Stricken Ohio City Place the Figures Anywhere Between 1,000 and 2,000. Columbus, O.—Dayton's flood death list was increased Wednesday by five. Latest estimates of the number of dead place the figures anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000. Flames, fed by broken gas mains, have burned buildings to the water's edge and Dayton has had no means of fighting the fire. That the fire had destroyed the Beckel hotel, where there were supposed to be more than 200 flood refugees, was the consensus of opinion of scores of watchers on the top of the National Cash Register building, nearly two miles from the scene of the flames. Can't Get Near Burning Buildings. Investigation of the fire at close range was an utter impossibility. More than a mile of flood water intervened between the point where the staundest boats dared to venture into the area of flames. Whether the refugees supposed to have been in the hotel escaped is only a matter of conjecture. The fire, which started late in the Heavy Damage at Mansfield. Traffic on the Cleveland, Southwestern & Columbus Electric between Oberlin and Wellington and Oberlin and Norwalk was tied up most of the day, due to washouts. Fred Kuenzli, 52, was the only Mansfield resident drowned in the flood. Property loss from the flood at Mansfield will reach into many thousands. Some of the factories will be shut down for a month and operations suspended in others until next week. The Mahoning river, mounting to 35 feet above normal, has already caused an immense property loss. The Pennsylvania, P. & L. E. and Erle tracks have been washed away at Youngstown. The Republic Iron & Steel Co., Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., William Todd Co. and practically all other plants are inoperative. Three bridges across the Mahoning have been swept away, and two more are expected to go. Two fatalities are reported at Youngstown. afternoon, seemed early in the evening to be dying, but late at night the wind veered and the flames were given a fresh start. The rain has ceased and the ald it gave in quenching the flames is thus lost. The temperature has been falling rapidly. It is feared the fire added to the death list, for the downtown buildings through which the fire swept were crowded with refugees who had fled to the upper stories from the floods in the streets. Reports have been telephoned here from Phoneton that men and women were seen running across the roofs of buildings to escape the fire. It is reported too that a number of persons jumped into the water to escape the fire. This report appears to have been confirmed in the case of the Russell apartments on 3rd-st. National Guardsmen took office off houses on 2nd-st in the exclusive residential district. Troy reports, over a telephone wire, that Plaquia is on fire and that the flames of the fire are plainly visible at Troy. Plaquia reported a heavy death loss which has been unconfirmed. Exploding Tank Starts Fire. The fire is reported to have started with the explosion of an oil tank containing hundreds of gallons, which bumped into a submerged building near Fourth and Jefferson-sts. A message from the Western Union operator at Woolf Creek, O., says: "Every hour or so explosions occur in Dayton due to fires. The conditions are frightful and indescribable." Maj. Smith, in command of the National Guard, has declared the city of Dayton under martial law. The militiamen have a number of boats, and rafts are being constructed in order to reach the business center of the city. Business at Warren is paralyzed and light and power plants are shut down. Bridges Swept Away. Five bridges were swept away at Tiffin, and the flooded area covers several blocks of the business section. At Fremont the Lake Shore railroad bridge was carried out. Along the Portage river a few villages have been flooded. With two-thirds of the city under water, no gas for fuel and light, no city water, a famine in food supplies and with no telephone or telegraph connections and interurban and steam lies tied up, Fremont spent the most disastrous day in its history. There are three known dead. The damage to the Ballville Hydro Electric plant of Fremont will be $200,000. A conservative estimate of total losses in Fremont is a million and a half dollars. At Middletown there is no way of estimating the death toll. How many lost their lives will not be known until the waters recede and the many marooned houses are examined. Conditions at Lorain are rapidly getting back to normal. Street car traffic was resumed Wednesday and the streets cleared of the debris. At Sandusky a cold drizzling rain last night developed into a sleetstorm and added to the misery of the hundreds existing in fireless and foodless homes, surrounded by floods. Elyria is still in darkness and will probably remain so for several days. Four people were reported drowned at Coshocton, O., when several houses were washed away. Coshocton is almost entirely submerged. The conditions are worse at Findlay than were at first reported. A heavy storm storm began at 4 Wednesday afternoon and continued two hours, while 3,000 homeless shivered and suffered. At 6 p. m. the snow turned to sleet and rain. A half of Canal Dover is under water and over 100 families have been driven out of their homes. The $20,000 factory of the Dover Manufacturing Co. collapsed at 6:30 Wednesday and slid into the Tuscarawas river. At Canton Conditions were improved during Wednesday. The street railway and suburban lines resumed at 4:30 in the afternoon. The Great Miami river, swollen to a width heretofore unknown and running with a terrific current, barred the way to specific information of the number of dead. While thousands of persons still were marooned in houses and on roofs in the central portion of the town, yet only a few corpse had been recovered and it was believed that in the northern section of the city to which rescuing parties had been unable to penetrate, would be found the greatest life loss. While the flood steadily receded in the afternoon the terrific current retarded rescue work and a cold swirling rain added to the discomforts of the already overburdened storm victims. It is feared the life loss on the north side of the Great Miami river will be large. Slowly rising overflow water stood seven feet deep in a large section of the city lying across that river when the rush from the break in the Laramie levee came. There has been no communication with that part of the city since early Tuesday. Opinions differ as to whether persons living there knew the levee had let go before the water overwhelmed their homes. The facts obtainable indicate they were not warned in time to prevent life loss. High as it is expected the death list will be, there are almost no bodies recovered and practically none of the dead are known. With the arrival of motorboats it was hoped to begin to distribute provisions among the marooned. Messages from the flood prisoners in the business section said children were crying for milk, while their elders suffered from thirst that grew hourly. Volunteers were called for to man boats that will brave the dangerous currents in an attempt to get food to the suffering. --- TE SINGLE COP AFRO-AMERICA SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Tuskegee, Ala.—The total wealth of the negroes in the United States is estimated at $700,000,000 by Prof. Monroe N. Work, in charge of research and records at Tuskegee institute. In a recent number of the Southern Workman Professor Work tells of what the American negro is doing for himself. Special emphasis is placed on the race's advancement along religious, educational and economic lines. The religious prdgress of the race is shown in the accumulation of church property which amounts to $57,000,000. The churches contribute yearly over $100,000 for home missions. The negro Baptists carry on work in five foreign countries, in which they have established 132 mission stations in charge of 97 missionaries. The African Methodist Episcopal church has mission work in eight foreign countries and has two bishops in Africa. The African Methodist Episcopal Zion church is doing aggressive work in Africa and the West Indies. Thirty-five thousand Sunday schools are in operation, with an enrollment of one and three-quarters million pupils. The educational advancement of the race is indicated in Professor Work's article by the statement that 1,700,000 negro children are enrolled in the public schools and colleges. Thirty-one thousand negro teachers are employed in the public schools, and 3,000 teachers are employed in the colleges and the normal and industrial schools. There are in the south at present 50 colleges, 13 institutions for the education of colored women, 26 theological schools and departments, 3 schools of law, 5 of medicine, 2 of dentistry, 4 of pharmacy, 17 state agricultural and mechanical colleges and over 400 normal and industrial schools. The value of the property now owned by institutions for higher and secondary training of the freedmen is more than $17,000,000. In 1912 over $1,400,000 were expended for their higher and industrial training, and $8,600,000 in their public schools, a total of $13,000,000. There are 40,000 following the professions, including teachers, preachers, laymen, doctors, dentists, editors, etc., and there are some 30,000 engaged in business of some sort. With 3,950 colored persons in the government postal service, there are 22,400 in the employ of the United States government. Some 1,000 or more patents have been granted to negroes during the past year. They have invented a telephone register, a hydraulic scrubbing brush, a weight motor for running machinery, aeroplanes, an automatic car switch and an automatic feed attachment for adding machines. The have established 64 banks capitalized at $1,600,000, doing an annual business of some $20,000,000. The Penny Savings bank of Birmingham, Ala., at the close of business in August, 1912 had resources amounting to $47,000. Perhaps the most significant progress has been made in agriculture. Negro farm laborers and negro farmers in the south cultivate approximately 100,000,000 acres of land, of which 42,500,000 acres are under their control. Negroes now own 20,000,000 acres of land, equivalent to 31,000 square miles. In 1863 the total wealth of negroes in this country was about $20,000,000. Now their total wealth is $700,000,000. A $50,000 hospital, to be known as the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital, was dedicated at Tuskegee institute, before a large and representative gathering. The hospital, which is one of the finest in the south, is the gift of the granddaughter of the war governor of Massachusetts. One special train came from New York, bringing the Hon. Seth Low, chairman of the Tuskegee institute board of trustees and other New York trustees. During the meeting of the National Medical association last August 524 patients were treated and some 25 operations performed in the small hospital of the institute. It is now planned to have another such clinic in connection with the dedication of the John A. Andrew hospital, which is, in many respects, one of the best fitted hospitals in all the south. The clinics are to be held under the directions of Dr. John A. Kenney, the institute medical director, and operations will be performed, remedies prescribed, etc., by the physician above named and by Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., specialist in the treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat. The John Wanamaker store of Philadelphia gives employment to 300 colored people: 119 in the dairy, 83 on the elevators, 20 in the tea room, 21 in the help's lunch room, 3 in the printing department, 3 in the warehouse, 2 in the stables, 10 as waiters and 10 as porters. The board of commissioners of the Knights of Pythias has authorized Mr. Sydney Pittman, the negro architect who designed the Jamestown Negro building, to draw plans for a $150,000 temple to be built in Dallas, Tex. Y FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS At the regular monthly public meeting of the Manhattan branch of the Y. M. C. A. at the Absynian Baptist church in West Fortieth street, before a large audience Rabbi Alexander Lyons, of the State street Synagogue. Brooklyn delivered an address on "If I Were a Negro." He spoke in part as follows: "First, if I were a negro I should confront the conditions which the negro confronts with the same fortitude and determination with which they have been confronted by the Jews; in other words, I would be content to be the thing which God almighty had made me. Therein many negroes are at fault. I believe God made a variety of races for the same reason that he made a variety of other things—because similarity begets monotony. Since you are negroes, be negroes. I have only contempt for the negro, who, because he is a little lighter in color looks down upon other negroes who happen to be a little darker in hue. Either a man is a negro or he is not a negro, no matter what his color may be. Moreover, I should not be like many negroes who try to imitate white people. Don't make the mistake of believing that everything a white man or a white woman does is right simply because he or she is white. "In the second place, if I were a negro I should try to have something to show for my energy. That is, I should be careful to save as much as possible of my wages. I say this because too many of our negroes are inclined to be thriftless. The race is often accused of a lack of foresight. They spend their money too freely and too thoughtlessly. Some negroes, as soon as they have earned a little money, lay off and spend it in order that they may go to work and earn a little more. Save your money. If you cannot get your names on the signboards of Broadway you may yet be able to get them on the side streets. "Finally, if I were a negro I should so deport myself that no one could point the finger of scorn at me. Two things in this world are of prime importance—money and morality. And then I should see to it that, so far as in my power lay, every other negro with whom I came in contact deported himself with credit. For if one negro goes wrong he becomes a stumbling block to the entire race. The same is likewise true of the Jew. "The negro race is peculiarly endowed. He is physically and musically blessed, and has wonderful patience. Don't envy the white race because you are not white, but love and cherish your own. Be patient, capable and brave. Be good Christians, but don't be so Christian and so soft and juicy as not to stand up for your rights when you are sure that right is on your side." What promises to be one of the finest playhouses in this country operated in the interest of colored people will open its doors about March 1st at Savannah, Ga. This new theatrical proposition is owned by the Savannah Picture Plays company of that city. The sum of $40,000 is being put in the construction, meaning every convenience and beauty accordingly. A first-class playhouse is the object of those interested, and everything possible is being done towards that end. In Cherry county, Kansas, is a large and prosperous colony of negroes known as Kinkaiders. The colonists engage in farming and stock raising. Only a few years ago Hampton and Tuskegee institutes were vigorously scored by a certain type of negroes in New York because students from these influential institutions would, from time to time, sing old plantation songs before northern audiences. Several of the negro ministers in New York city were actually afraid to have old-time plantation songs sung in their churches, although many enjoyed them, because a certain type of negro criticised the ministers for permitting their rendition. On January 12 a musical entertainment was given at Carnegie hall, and plantation songs were sung and played by an orchestra of about 125 negroes. The hall was not only filled, but by what is called the fashionable negroes, to hear these plantation melodies. What has brought about this change? Perhaps it is this: That the concert at Carnegie hall was managed by white people, who have seen the value and richness of these plantation songs; and now that these white promoters have taken up the plantation songs, they have become immensely popular with the elite of the negro race.—New York Age. The Baltimore hotel, a leading hostelry of Kansas City, Mo, after dispensing with colored help last spring, has been compelled to discharge the white waiters and recall the negroes. The patrons of this hotel found that they were not served equally as well by the white help and left and went to other hotels using colored help. This compelled the Baltimore management to reemplify the colored boys. Surprising as it may appear, the father of triplets usually is proud of it.

Charles Young of the Ninth Cavalry. to the grade of Major the Evening World tells that “Young is iiked by Army officers because he never intrudes’ socially.” Very pect: liar is the conception some of the White people of this country have Telative to the correct meaning o! “social equality.” ‘The writer respon sible for the article in the Evening World seems to think that the colored Major's popularity is due to an ac Knowledgment on his part that he is fan Inferior being to his brother off cors, While relating several instances. tc show that Maj, Young has never “in traded” the Evening World tells the following story: “Capt. Young was eating ice cream in Manila’s most famous ice cream parlor, Bvefy table was occupied to Capacity by whites with the exception of Young's. He was the only person at his tabie, A white enlisted man And an army nurse entered the tee éream saloon and finding the tables al! occupied, started to go out. Capt Young saw them and as they passed his table arose and sald be * would gladly let them have his table. The Enlisted man saluted, thanked the Ne- gro officer and accepted the table Capt. Young stood up several paces avay from the table he had just occu pied and ate his cream.” in giving over bis table to a white enlisted man and an army nurse it is imoult to understand where the "so- cial equality” question comes in. The action of Capt. Young demonstrated that he was more of a gentleman than ‘any white man sitting in the ice cream parlor, and that he had more respect for women than: his brother officers er those under him. Of course, those not versed in the ethics of polite so- ‘elety mistook his politeness for an admission that be was inferior, Quite ‘often in New York City whey a man of color gives his seat toa eiuite lady in a street car (when all the white men fail to show their gallantry in arising) the same position is taken— that the Negro is giving his seat to ‘a white woman because he feels it is iis duty to relinquish it ‘There are hundreds of Colored men who would tike to be more courteous to white ‘worhen in public piaces, but they fear that theipy actions may be misinter- preted a8 an acknowledgment of in- Tertority. In order that “social equality” exist {t is absolutely necessary that all par- ties concerned evince a desire to meet in social converse. “Social equality” exists among Negroes the same ax whites. All white people do not meet on social terms and neither io all Negroes. “Social equality,” herefore, is not regarded as @ race ssue.

Evidently those law-makers are fair-minded men and not heathens. ‘They know. from whence intermarriage sprang, Accord- ing to biblical records, it began with ‘one of God's chosen’ vessels—Abra- ham. ‘Shem was the progenitor of the pa- triarehs, prophets and of the Jews and also of Christ, “And on: these Faccounts," says 2h eminent writer, "the renown of the house of Shem [has been great in all the earth,” Into this renowned family, black Ethiopian women were taken as wives. ‘Abraham, the father of Jesus, mar: vied the first one. Gen, 30-1. Moses, the great Hebrew legislator and lawgiver, married an Ethiopian woman, Num. 1241. “dah, Simeon and Joseph, the sons of Jacob, married black women also. Gen, 41-4, Suidah had only five children. ‘They bywere males, Ist Chron. 2-4, Three, by his fst wite and two by his second. Ist wife and two by. his second. Ist Chron, 234, And both of his wives were Canannitish women. ‘They. were descendants of Canaan, a black man; and Canaan was the son of Ham, Gen. 1056 There were two classes of Jews dur ing the time they had kings ruling oyer them. ‘There was the royal Jew aiid the common Jew. The roya! Jew was the black Jew and the common Jew was the white Jew, Solomon was certainly one of these royal black Jews, because biblical history. shows that he bullt the most costly and roy list temples that were ever erected. And that he was black—see “Songs of Solomon,” 1st chapter, 5th and 6th Verses, Solomon's most royal scoest latter the dedication of the temple, was a Negro woman—the Queen of Sheba, See Ist Kings, 104.

Tho kaiser ts’ being defled by a farmer who refuses to be evicted from one of his majesty's numerous prop- erties, At the annual meeting of the German agricultural council the em- peror, amid much laughter, told of his experiences as a landowner. He showed how he hed introduced new grains, improved the breed of his cat- tle, increased the output of his meadows and the milk output of his ‘cows, He also said that he had thrown ‘one of the tenants off his farm near Cadinen because he was no good and intended himselt to take over the su- pervision of the place. Herr Sohst was the lessee in ques- tion and he got his notice to quit. He refused to do so. He says his lease has five more years to run and that It does not have any clause which pro- vides for its cancellation. It is al- leged that Sohst, who is a prominent farmer and influential in the Conserv- ative party, which {s part of the gov ernment bloc, feels that he has been insulted and materially damaged by the kalser’s charge that he is “no good.” The kaiser's administrative agents have now brought suit to dis- possess Sohst. SCRAPBOOKS THAT WILL WEAR For Children, Brown Holland In the Best and Most Lasting Material ‘That Can Be Employed. Scrapbooks for children are best made of brown holland. The holland should be of the right width, and when folded lengthways with the selvedges each will make two leaves. For a book take six yards of double width brown holland and cut into half-yard lengths. Buttonhole over the edges with flourishing thread, or, {f liked, with a contrasting color. Fold all to- gether and sew with stout cotton down the ednter, tying a piece of ribbon through to hide the stitches. Stretch the front page in a frame before fast- ening together, and either embroider the initials of the child or else work the word “Scraps.” ‘These books are practically untear- able and, if made in a dark color, will not show the dirt very quickly. Paste In anything likely to interest the child, or else teach her tp make the pictures for herself. The making of pictures out of other pictures 1s a most fascl- nating game for the little ones. Big brown books made of paper are practical and useful for the housewife. How often we hear people complain that there are so many delightful reelpes published in the papers, but that it is a bother to cut them out, as they always disappear when wanted. A medium-sized brown paper scrap- book should be at hand, the clipping cut out and pasted in right away. It will only take a few minutes to do, but the recipe is captured for all time. ; Amenity of the Game. John Weilly was a micing man tn New Mexico in the days ot Billy the Kid, and John was always on the job for work or play.~ ‘One night hé was in a poker game, with the sky as the limit, and it came his time to deal. The black-haired, hawknosed man sitting opposite to him had a pat straight, and Reilly drew one card. He of'the hawk nose bet a lot of money, and John raised him something like a house and lot. The fellow wih the stralent called, and Reilly laid down an ace-high flush. Ms, Reilly.” said he of the hawk nose, “any man who watches you deal to athending to bis own business.” Lge ee <.

At Charity hospital lies Raymond Powland, 34, of Central Ave. who is suffering from two bullet wounds sustained when he attempted to rescue Mrs. Taylor. It was after midnight when a dance in Orkin's hall ended. A crowd from it was walking on Central Ave. between E. 28th and E. 30th, when the man, her "sweetheart," approached Mrs. Taylor. In the dance hall he had asked to escort her home and had been refused, police say. "Can I ascort you now?" he asked. Refused again, he fired five times. As Powland he shot twice more, wounding Powland in the legs. Leveling two revolvers at the crowd he escaped, but entered the next evening on entering the house where he roomed, on Cedar Ave. It is currently reported that the fellow had "gone daffy on the woman," after a couple of years "keeping company" with her. Wouldn't it be an excellent idea to establish the new Old Folks' Home out in the country district, where there is plenty of good, fresh air and where ground for flowers and vegetable gardens could be had cheapest? This would be best for the inmates, too. The illustrated lecture at Mt. Zion church. Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Phyllis Wheatley Working Girls' Home Association, was a failure in point of attendance, only about a dozen persons being present. This was undoubtedly the result of a failure to properly advertise it. Very few people knew anything at all of the lecture, and too many are not enthusing over this Home project. They feel that the other Homes ought to be open to our girls as they are to those of all other classes in the community, and would be to ours, too, if a proper effort were made to create a new home, a Miss or Mrs, Rathburn, is a member of the local Y.

NO VOTE YET! Our People Fighting the Miserable "Separate Marriage" Bill, Vigor- ously — Keep It Up! Special to The Gazette. Columbus, O. Mar. 26.—I cannot say what tomorrow will bring forth, but up to this (Wednesday) evening House Bill, No. 27, Reppert's anti-terminarriage bill, has not been reached for its third and last reading. It was on Monday's calendar, as it was each the preceding week for this reading, has been delayed from day to day, and week to week, by more important bills and others which preceded it on the various daily calendars. The outlook, tonight, is that it may not be reached until after Monday, although a House "spasm" might bring it up for third reading if it is not done Friday before noon when a recess until Monday next at 4 or 5 p.m. for an hour's session (on that day), is usually taken. For three weeks our people, in all parts of the state, have made such a vigorous fight, on the bill, with the House members in their own counties as well as here, that we are voted down whenever it does come up for its third and last reading, if only our people throughout the state will keep up their active work against it. L. G. DOINGS OF THE RACE Some "wag" fooled the N. Y. Age and Boston Guardian into announcing "the passage of Ohio's "Separate Marriage" bill," week before last. Mrs. Harriett Tubman, aged 95, a prominent anti-slavery worker who has long been identified with Y. R. Cromwell and Tubman, with race recently. She is said to have piloted over 300 slaves to Canada by the "Underground Railroad" during slavery days. She had been a slave. Mr. Pickens Black, a successful farmer, ginner and merchant of Bowen's Ridge, near Newport, Ark, has purchased 78 acres of land adjoining Auvergne, a small town near Newport, which paid $100000 which is nearly $128 per acre. This is the highest price ever paid for Jackson county, Ark, land unless it adjoined much larger towns. Hon. Philip Clark Cook of Kingston, colonial secretary of Jamaica, has been sworn in as acting governor on the departure of the late governor, Sir Sydney Oliver. He will act until another governor is appointed by the governor and Reewes, another member of the race, was Chief Justice until his death, a few years ago. California's school segregation bills have been killed in the House committee. Don't Overlook that subscription. If you are in arrears remember that we can always find good use for the MONEY INTER-RACIAL MARRIAGES. Why Southern Democrats Have Caused "Separate Marriage" Bills To Be Introduced in Northern Legislatures, Etc. Columbus, O.—The following excellent communication was published, recently, in the Columbus Daily Ohio State Journal: Mr. Editor, Dear Sir: It is reported that there is a bill before the Ohio House of Representatives to prohibit intermarriage between white and Colored persons, and to make it unlawful for those already married to continue the marriage relation. It seems that the governor has been instructed into other northern legislatures, some of which have already turned it down. This bill is evidently modeled after those prevailing in the south, and it is not difficult to guess the source of its paternity. The success of the Democratic party in the recent elections, state and national, has doubtless encouraged and stimulated the activity of those who believe in this degrading policy of Tillman, Vardaman and Blease toward the Negro. This is no sporadic movement; nor is it a monetary impulse; it is guided by method and pushed with a persistent and tireless energy. It is not, therefore, to be treated lightly. What the south surrendered at Appomattox was its army, not its policy or its purpose, though, of course, circumstances have necessarily changed its methods. Consider the successive steps in this process: Denial of civic rights; disfranchisement, first by violence and then under the disguise of two Jim Crow educational attempts to restrict educational opportunities to elementary and industrial education, and then to cripple the common schools by making the Colored common schools depend wholly on taxes paid by Colored citizens. The bill now before the Ohio legislature is another step in the same process. "What next? Will it be a proposition to repeal those amendments which cobbled the results of four years of indescribable trial, suffering and arrurement?" The governor Lincoln's time that the house divided against itself cannot stand? Or is the harmony to be restored by the surrender of the north? If the measure under consideration stood alone, one might allow it to take its course to the supreme court, confidant that it would there be put to sleep, but when it is considered a link in the chain which the south is great, it would be a great virtual enlancement of 10,000,000 citizens, the question becomes far more serious. The arguments advanced to support this bill, considered in themselves, do not deserve serious attention. But what would be the practical effect of this measure? It might prevent intermarriage to degrade, but would it hinder immigration? If any doubts, let him go into those southern states where such a law prevails and learn the facts. The proper name for this bill—a name that would indicate the effects of its practical operation—would be this: "A bill to prevent the association of white and Colored vicious sexual relations, and promote conubiabination, bastardy and immorality." As a matter of fact, there is very little intermarriage between the races in this state, and there is no evident tendency in that direction; probably the only effect would be to break up the happy homes of those already married, who have families, many of whom, if not all, are living in congenial companionship and are useful and honorable citizens. They entered into this relation under the sanction of the laws of the state. Small these laws, the laws of the state, obedience to the blind, cruel, race-hating prejudice of those who, if they could, would make slaves of the Colored people because they are weak? Mr. Editor, what do the God-fearing, Christian people of Ohio say to this iniquitous measure? Will they keep silent and allow this brand of shame to be fixed upon the character of our noble state? The laws of God change not; those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. No good can come from a nation. Evidence of emotion and spirit, violation of the elementary rights of humanity, uncalled for by anything in present conditions, more unchristian than anything that can be found among heathen or pagan nations, it will simply constitute a chapter of shame in the history of a great state. CTIZEN. WARNER-HARGRAVE. Toledo, O.-Miss Leona, daughter of Mrs. Francis Warner, and Mr. Geoffrey Hargrave of Zanesville, were married, last Wednesday evening by Rev. W. B. Lee. Miss Ina E.

Finds Mother Dead. “Mother was fl and confined to her bed on the second floor of our home at 4224 Dewey-ay,” she sald. “We heard the storm coming up but did not imagine what was to come. Sud denly the raging wind hit the house and it immediately toppled over as if built of pasteboard. Mother and my- self were buried in the wreckage. As Soon as I could pull myself from the debris I began @ search for her. Board after board I lifted. I tugged and pulled at them until my hands were cut and bleeding. Finally I reached her, 1 bent down to raise her but she was dead.” ‘One of the peculiarities of the storm noted at the Children’s institution was that all of the dead or injured were badly cut about the face, while the bodies were comparatively free from wounds. Ugly looking scalp wounds marked every injury, which 1s ex plained by reason of ‘the fact that a large number of the killed and in: fured ran to escape the storm and were felled by flying wreckage. At the height of the storm a merry party were Just sitting down to the table to colebrate the Sist_ birthday of Patrick Hynes of 2704 North 20th- st. A toast was being drunk to their host when the storm swept the house away. All of the party succeeded in getting out with minor injuries except & grandchild, Miss Cecelia Bigelow, who was internally injured. “The purty had just begun dinner,” said Mr. Hynes. “The young people were making merry and old as Tam T had entered into the spirit of the ‘occasion. Suddenly there was a’ great roaring sound, ‘The next minute the house was in Fuins. I wriggled around and got out and aided the others in escaping.” ‘hen suddenly brought back to a reallzation of the fact that his grand- daughter was near death, the old man cried: “Ah! if it had only been me instead of Cecelia.” ‘There were hundreds of like inct- dents. When the storm had passed, Mr, and Mrs, ©. M. Wilhelm found themselves under a mass of broken and twisted furniture. They extricated themsolves with difficulty. Clift Daniels, his wife and their two ‘children met death together. Soldiers digging about the ruins of their house found the four bodies, the two little ‘girls clasped in thefr mother’s arms, ‘while the body of the father was over ‘them as if he had tried to shield them with his own body. "Dr. and Mrs, D. ©, Bryant escaped ‘without injury trom thelr home, but the aged mother of Mrs. Bryant was found buried in the cellar and recov. ‘ered with difficulty.
