COOLIDGE SEND$ MESSAGE Mayer and County Counselor Deliver Addresses of Welcome — Many Notables Are Present— Mass Meeting. Kansas City, Kansas, Sept. 7. — With delegates in attendance from nearly every state in the Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People opened its Fourteenth Annual Conference in Kansas City, Kansas, with a mass meeting on the night of Wednesday, August 29. Mayor W. W. Gordon and the Hon. J. L. Brady, County Counselor of Wyandotte County, delivered warm addresses of welcome and a message of greeting was read from President Calvin Coolidge in which the President termed the N. A. A. C. P. as "representative of one of the most useful and effective efforts in behalf of the colored people of the country." Others who smoke at the meeting were Bishop W. T. Vernon of the A. M. E. Church of South Africa, and Lester A. Walton, negro staff correspondent of the New York World. On the day before the meeting special cars rolled into the Kansas City Terminal, bringing delegates and visitors from all parts of the country and it was estimated fully 500 people had come to the conference from other parts of the country, states as distant as Texas, California, and New Jersey being represented. In his address of welcome Mayor Gordon asserted that colored people were entitled to the co-operation of whites and should have it. He said there had never been racial strife in Kansas City, Kansas, and said that relations were so cordial he had told the police department "to go fishing" during the conference. Mayor Gordon said: "The destiny of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People lies within the co-operation of its membership because no organization of any kind, no State or Nation, can survive a wave of opposition unless those who compose the organization stand nobly by it and advocate its cause. In doing this, you must have the co-operation of the white race as well as of the colored race. This you are entitled to receive and I have no doubt that this co-operation will be gladly given you. Bishop Vernon spoke of the injustices that were driving colored people northward from the southern states and Mr. Walton of the New York World, urged that the migrants be helped in every possible way to adjust themselves in their new environment. He urged the establishment of housing commissions, composed jointly of white and colored citizens. White Southern Woman Speaks At the second evening mass meeting, Mrs. Thos. W. Bickett, widow of the former governor of North Carolina and chairman of the woman's section of the Inter-Racial Committee, delivered an address of greeting from that body and told of the southern women's efforts to stamp out lynching and mob violence. She said committees were at work in every southern state, and in 800 counties, working for race betterment. She said: "We are a long, long way from solving the race problem in the south, but we have made a hopeful beginning. As interested, thoughtful white men and women we are seeking through our civic and religious organizations to meet in the spirit of co-operation and leading men and women of the negro race in the community in which we live. We are becoming increasingly conscious of the fact that as those in authority our responsibility towards the Negro cannot be evaded and many of our people are going forward with a determination that no unfair advantage shall be taken of the Negro, but that he shall receive justice and fair treatment which is his due, and which we cannot withhold if we wish to retain THE MONITOR AN IMPORTANT EVENT AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Four Students Receive Degrees In Agriculture at Famous Seat of Learning. Hampton, Va., Sept. 7.—An epoch making event took place in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, Thursday evening, August 30, when the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education was conferred upon each member of the first class to graduate from the new agricultural college course. Five young men started this course, and of the five four remained to the end. These four represent the North, South, East and West—Harrison D. Jacobs from Massachusetts, Thomas E. Johnson, Jr., from Mississippi, Burke M. Mathias from Oklahoma, and D. Coaken Jones from Georgia. These four young men already have excellent positions upon which they will enter at once. The first becomes, a teacher of agriculture in the State Normal "School at Elizabeth City, N. C., the second a teacher of vocational agriculture in a high school in Marion, Ark.; the third a teacher of agriculture in Langston University, Langston, Oklahoma; and the fourth will become a farm-demonstration agent under the Federal Government in Virginia. For more than half a century Hampton Institute had been known as a secondary school, and when it was proposed to add courses of college grade some doubted whether such a thing would actually be done. The conferring of degrees has conclusively answered all such doubters. Hampton Institute has now taken its place among institutions of college grade. THE THIRD PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS MEETS IN NOVEMBER New York, Sept. 7.—The third Pan-African Congress will meet in London, England, and Lisbon, Portugal, next November. This announcement was made Friday by Dr. Du Bois, acting chairman of the executive committee of the Pan-African Association. The Pan-African Association is the permanent body formed in Paris in 1921 for the purpose of promoting a Pan-African Congress every two years and for other objects. The president is M. Gratten Candace, the colored deputy in the French parliament representing the island of Gaudelet. M. Candace has been in print lately because of his success in forcing the French government to take a stand on American negro prejudice. The secretary of the association is M. Isaac Beton, a young teacher in the French public schools. M. Beton has been much discouraged at the apparent lack of response to his effort to rally the Negro race throughout the world to the support of the Pan-African Congress. The congress was originally announced for Lisbon in mid-September but it seemed impossible to arrange a meeting so early and Dr. Du Bois and his executive committee have therefore called a November meeting. It is hoped that a number of American Negroes, especially representatives of large organizations, will make the trip to London and Lisbon. They will get a chance to see the real Europe in winter and not simply at vacation time. There will be an opportunity to visit the beautiful winter resorts of southern France and Africa only an hour's sail from Portugal. Persons interested are invited to correspond immediately with Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, N. Y. ASK YOUR MERCHANT OR THOSE FROM WHOM YOU BUY WHY HE DOES NOT ADVERTISE IN YOUR NEWSPAPER. The program of the N. A. A. C. P. Conference included a visit to the Federal Penitentiary on Saturday, Sept. 1, where the delegates and visitors were to talk with the imprisoned members of the 24th infantry, sentenced after the Houston Riot. Other speakers on the schedule included Governor Arthur M. Hyde of Missouri; Arthur B. Spingarm, Bishop John Hurst; T. A. McNeal, Kansas editor; Representative L. C. Dyer, T. G. Nutter of West Virginia; Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson of Delaware, Harvey L. Ingham, editor of the Moines Register; Dr. G. W. Lucas of New Orleans; James Weldon Johnson; George W.

This declaration is considered of arresting significance by the colonial press, and indicates the success of the Nationalist Party propaganda among the colored people, following upon the resolution, the Nationalist leader, General Hertzog, addressed a meeting of colored people at Kimberley.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SENDS GREETINGS TO NEGRO ADVANCEMENT BODY Calls Its Work "One of Most Useful and Effective Efforts" for Colored People Kansas City, Kans., Sept. 7.—President Calvin Coolidge sent the following message of greeting to the Fourteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, holding a race relations conference in Kansas City: WASHINGTON Thank you for drawing my attention to the approaching Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I have long regarded this gathering as representative of one of the most useful and effective efforts in behalf of the colored people of the country, and sincerely trust that its sessions this year may be as productive of beneficial results as they have been in the past. Most sincerely yours. (Signed) CALVIN COOLIDGE Mr. Walter White, Assistant Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City. George H. W.

EVANS CASE CORRECTLY STATED FOR PUBLIC Incomplete Press Reports and Inaccurate Accounts Shown to Be Quite Misleading — Interest Intense. RBLING MOST IMPORTANT (Special to The Monitor, by Walter J. Singleton.) Washington, D. C. Sept. 3, 1923.—The intense interest which has been created in the case of Joseph P. Evans, former Grand Master of Masons for the State of Maryland against the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Co., has led The Monitor to obtain through its Washington correspondent a complete story of the whole affair. Evans was in Charleston, W. Va., on March 21, 1922, where he purchased a first class ticket over the C. & C. lines for Cincinnati, Ohio, on through train No. 3, leaving Charleston at noon. At Kentucky State line he was requested to leave the car in which he was riding with the whites and go into a car set aside for colored passengers by a secret rule of defendant requiring the separation of all white and colored passengers regardless of their destination. This car, No. 447, was a combination express and passenger car, and the car No. 651, in which he had been riding was a whole passenger car. Evans declined to be disturbed and at Ashland, Kentucky, was arrested by a special officer of the State of Kentucky for refusing to be segregated. He was taken before Judge Kennedy of the Ashland Municipal Court, who held a long conference with the local prosecuting attorney and the Kentucky counsel for the road, which resulted in his release, Judge Kennedy informing him that he had committed no offense for which he could be held. After returning to his home in Baltimore, Evans retained the Hon. W. Ashbie Hawkins to secure redress. Mr. Hawkins in turn associated with him Counselors Richard R. Horner and George H. Murray, the well known authority in matters relating to interstate commerce, who acted as chief counsel for Evans. At the hearing which occupied the entire day of June 20, 1923, it was developed that the road had never filled its separate car regulation with the Interstate Commerce Commission, which counsel for Evans contended invalidated the rule and the fare. Evans also contends that one-half of an express car for colored passengers and a whole car for white passengers paying the same fare does not constitute equal accommodations in interstate commerce within the meaning of the Interstate Commerce Act. The road, through its Assistant General Solicitor, Mr. Sherlock Bronsom NOTED COLORED RECTOR WAS PAGE WITH SLEMP New York, Sept. 7. —The Rev. George T. Bragg, Jr., vector of the leading colored Episcopal Church in Baltimore, as a boy, was page in the Virginia legislature with C. Bascom Slemp, former Congressman from Virginia, and recently appointed secretary to the President. "The elder Slemp was at that time a member of the house," writes Dr. Bragg in the New York Age, "and he was a magnificent man. Bascom" was as fine a boy as one would desire to meet. It does not follow that a white Republican who does not agree with us in everything is necessarily a Negro hater. Let us be fair and give Mr. Slemp a trial. He may prove a better friend than expected." Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Gooden returned Saturday morning from Denver, Col., and other Colorado points where they went for a brief visit after the meeting of the Grand Lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten which met at Jeffrison City, Mo., August 19-21. Dr. Gooden was elected grand medical register of the order for this jurisdiction which embraces Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. As this is a coveted position Dr. Gooden is receiving the congratulations of his friends upon the recognition. takes the position that the rule, being one intended to promote order and decorum and not affecting the value of the services was not required to be filed and that the accommodations offered Evans in car No. 447 were superior to those in No. 651, in which he was riding. Other issues raised by Evans were that the rule is unreasonable and not in conformity with the actual sentiment of Kentucky, and that his unlawful arrest and detention subjected him to undue prejudice in violation of the Transportation Act. The hearing, while spirited from a legal standpoint, was at all times amicable, the usual references to racial inferiority and other stock incidents of hearings of this kind were markedly absent. A striking feature of the testimony was that, of Conductor L. B. Miller, who testified that as much trouble is experienced with the whites as with the colored passengers in enforcing the rule of segregation. Exhaustive briefs have been filed by both sides and the next step will be the filing of the proposed report of Examiner Fuller, before whom the testimony was taken. The case will then go to the Commission on exceptions to the Examiner findings. The case is regarded in interstate commerce circles as a very sweeping and adroit attack on Jim Crow cars which, if upheld, will bring about a radical revision of carrier practices. Whole Number 426 BE RADI ON OF I EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON Bishop Shayler Confirms Class of Five Candidates and Preaches A large congregation was present Sunday morning at 11 o'clock when the Rt. Rev. Ernest V. Shaler, D. D., bishop of Nebraska, administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to a class of five, addressed them, and delivered an instructive sermon from I. S. Timothy, 2:15. The bishop stressed the fact that the Church is the pillar and ground of the truth. The address to the candidates on "The Christian Life" was most practical and peculiarly befitting. The confirmees were Dwight Robinson Rorsey, Mrs. Mary (Wood) Jackson, Virginia Jackson, Adele Jackson and Hattie Gaston. Just before the 11 o'clock service the Sacrament of Holy Baptism was administered to Adele, Warren, Madree and Homer, children of Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Jackson, the sponsors being the parents, George H. Bullock and Mrs. John Albert Williams. The services next Sunday will be as follows: Holy communion 7:30 a. m.; matins, 8:30; Church school, 10; sung eucharist with sermon, 11; evening prayer and sermon, 8 o'clock.

Mr. Charles Waters of Pittsburgh, Pa., who has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. E. P. Pryor, son-in-law and family, returned to his home Tuesday evening, delighted with his visit and very favorably impressed with Omaha. Messrs. J. H. Broomfield and Harry Buford returned Friday from an extensive motor trip through the east. They reported a most enjoyable and interesting trip. --- GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 10 CALLY BLEASE POLITICAL POWER RAPIDLY PASSING FROM SOUTHLAND Migration Northward Will Cause Radical Reduction In Congressions 1 Representation and Prestige. SOLID SOUTH IS DOOMED Ex-Governor Cole Blease Presents Unwelcome and Startling Facts Before Large Audience at Columbia. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 7.—The Migratory Movement has cost the state of Georgia more than 32,000,000 in a single year! The migratory movement has cost the south a decrease of almost 500.000 people in population. The migratory movement has caused federal authorities to investigate more rapidly the stories of peonage and to urge a federal law to abolish lynching and the use of the mask. But more potent, more powerful and more dreadful (to the white south) is the realization that with the departure of the Negro goes the political power of the South. Speaking on this phase of the question, an entirely new angle is given it by Cole Blease, one-time Governor of South Carolina. South's Power Doomed "The Might of the Solid South is a Fading Glory." Standing before an audience of five thousand white and colored citizens here, Cole Blease, one-time Governor of the State, at a conference for the discussion of inter-racial relations, threw a bomb shell into the calm contentment of the whites by telling them that the scepter of political power was about to depart from Judah. Taking the question up in detail, he told them how they had enjoyed representation in the lower house of Congress upon the basis of population. In a state where the two races were equal in number, like his own, the whites had all the representatives though the blacks furnished half of the population on which they were apportioned. With migration going on, and thousands and tens of thousands leaving, the 1930 census will find an entire shift of population, the South having less and the North having more people. The result will be less Southern Congressmen and more Northern. Cole Blease, in all his terms of office, made nationally famous by his spectacular acts, such as the release of many hundreds of prisoners from the state penal institutions, never made such a sensation as this speech. Secure for half a century in political power, regardless of shifts of opinion elsewhere in the country, Southern democracy has wrapped its mantle of power about it and stood to be catered to. Its certainty of continued victory has made it the leader of even the National Democratic party. It has imposed its will upon the National party through its unity in caucus. And now, as related by Cole Blease, the boll weevil and the migration of the Negro have stripped off the robe and shown it to be just a big imposing shell, covered over with pretense and supported on the skeleton legs of shifting population. DR. J. H. HUTTEN GOES TO CALIFORNIA BY AUTO Dr. and Mrs. Jesse H. Hutten left by auto early Saturday morning for California where they expect to remain for a year. Dr. Hutten, who has been one of Omaha's most successful physicians, has been practising here for the past twenty-five years without taking a vacation. He has decided to take a year's rest. The beautiful Hutten residence on North Thirty-third street has been rented by Mrs. Lizzie Buford who has sold her large and attractive home, 3510 Blondo street. Friday night a reception was tendered Dr. and Mrs. Hutten at St. Paul's Presbyterian church, of which Dr. Hutton is an older, and many friends availed themselves of this opportunity of wishing them Godspeed upon their journey.

THE JAPANESE DISASTER A GREAT disaster has befallen Japan. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost by earthquake, tidal wave and fire. Such an appalling catastrophe shows the frailty of man and the uncertainty of human life. The magnitude of the loss of life impresses us and many regard it as a most terrible thing. This is only because the loss is centralized. Vital statistics tell us that daily throughout the world there are more than a million human souls paying the debt of death. These pass without causing comment. It is only when some great disaster takes a comparatively heavy toll that our thoughts are directed to the certainty of death. Disasters such as have overtaken Japan make the entire world realize the kinship of humanity. Those who have been worrying about the "Yellow peril," will forget it and only think of sending suc- succor to stricken and suffering human beings. In this work all will gladly do their part. It seems that it takes some great catastrophe like this to make mankind fully realize its kinship to mankind everywhere. APPRECIATED RECOGITION THE LITERARY DIGEST in its is THE LITERARY DIGEST in its issue of September 1, in a most interesting article on The Color Lnie in France, quotes The Monitor. This is the second or third time within the past few years that The Literary Digest, which is one of the most widely-read publications in the world, has quoted The Monitor. This is a recognition which we highly appreciate. And by the way, to keep fully informed on the great trend of events throughout the world no one can get along without reading The Literary Digest. It is a welcome visitor in many of our homes now but the number of its readers among us should be increased.

It mars one's disposition and brings unhappiness. It engenders bitter thoughts and bitterness, curdles the milk of human kindness. If one is really honest with himself, he will find that he frequently does things requiring forgiveness upon the part of others, and it therefore follows that he who needs forgiveness for his sins and shortcomings against others should show the same forgiveness towards others that he himself desires to receive. Life is too short to indulge to the folly of harboring grudges. The man or woman who cultivates the spirit of forgiveness gets most happiness out of life. THE YOUNG PEOPLE THERE are many things which the younger generation indulge in which do not meet the approval of their elders. There are certain customs of the day that some of us deplore. Yet despite this, The Monitor does not believe that our young people are going to the bad by the wholesale, as many maintain, or that they are bad at heart. As a matter of fact, we do not believe that the young people of today differ at al from the young people of our fathers' generation. Some of us perhaps recall how our parents deplored the fact that we, as children, were different from them, when they were children. So it has always been, so it will ever be. The one great danger which we do see in this day is the lack of reverence for parental authority. This is a serious defect, but we really believe that our young people are sound at heart and that railing upon them by their elders will not improve conditions. Noting how conditions of life have changed, wisdom would suggest that we place as many safeguards around them as may be possible and then place our young folks on their honor. ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb FOOTNOTES TO AFRICAN HISTORY (By the Hamitic League) (Antar of Arabia) If you should happen to bust into the deserts of Arabia today and be captured by a sheik, the chances are at night you would hear him and his bandits chatting about the great Antar—that is, if you could comprehend their lingo. The greatest hero of Arabia was Antar and the folks around the shack still talk about him as much as ever. Antar wasn't exactly colored. Fact, is he was born that way. In the poem he describes himself as black and swarthy as an elephant, so there shouldn't be any argument about his race. He started out being a hero very early in life. A slave master tried to run some women away from a water spring and Antar took a few swings at him. When the fight was over, the slave master looked worse than Willard after his mix-up with Mr. Firpo. This scrap gave Antar a wide reputation as a mixer and it wasn't long before every hero around the country dropped in to see if he was really the bird rumor said he was. He met them all in any manner they desired and after the introduction they all went away accepting him as the hottest fighting machine that ever came down the pike. Some moons later Antar fell in love with a very fair Arabian doll. Her papa objected because he was so blue, but Antar swore he would have the dame and the doll swore with him. Papa told him to whip all heroes and he whipped them one after another. Still the wedding march wasn't pulled off. Finally all the heroes sent in their cards of regret and Antar demanded his tootsie. Papa objected again, but Antar told him to come across or else—Papa came across. But Arabia still loves Antar and every night they sing his songs and recall his scrapping exploits.

Cohen Jewelry & Optical store moving from its present location in this neighborhood, we congratulate Dr. Cohen on his progressiveness. The attractive Jewelry and Optical Store operated by Dr. Cohen at 1412 North 24th St. for the past year was his first start in business for himself—it proved so successful that he is now enlarging his business and moving to a more centrally situated location, in the heart of the downtown shopping district, namely, on 16th and Farnam Sts., right at the main entrance of the Goldstein-Chapman Company. Dr. Cohen has made many friends in his neighborhood and he hopes to see them all at his new location, and assures them that they will always receive the same courteous and personal attention. At the present time Dr. Cohen is carrying on a Removal Sale, and will give the people in this neighborhood the advantage of wholesale prices, rather than move his stock, inasmuch as he has already opened up at his new location. His attractive store fixtures are also for sale.

PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Streets Russel Taylor, Pastor The farewell reception of St. Paul's and its friends to Dr. J. H. Hutten last Friday evening was very pleasant and impressive. After a well rendered solo by Mr. Owens, the pastor, presiding, introduced speakers as follows: Mrs. M. A. Johnson, Sunday School superintendent, who spoke in behalf of the Sunday School; Elder John A. Hardy, who spoke for the session; Attorney H. J. Pinkett, chairman of the Board of Trustees, who spoke for that organization. Then Dr. Hawkins was introduced and made some very appropriate remarks in behalf of the Medical profession.

THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN BURTON. An easy-to-look-up maid with Barney Gerard's magnificent production, "Vanities," at the popular Gayette twice daily all week, starting matinee, September 8th. ALEXANDER TILLEY, SR. DIES, IN CHI Alexander Tillery, Sr., who for many years was in the barber business in Omaha at 111 South 15th St., died in Chicago, August 21, after a long illness. He is survived by his widow, Carrie Ella (Catlett) Tillery and six grown children: Alexander, jr. of Chicago; Mrs. Nonnie Leota Slater and Mrs. Jessie Blackwell of Des Moines, Ia.; Mrs. Blanche Spivide of Larkspur, Ga.; Mrs. Ethel E. Emsis of Omaha and Othello Roy Tillery, Chicago Lost His Opportunity. I was strolling along with my sweetheart at a fair, very happy, until I discovered her former beau showering honeyed smiles on her. As she didn't ignore him, I became worried, and resolved to propose at once. While deciding just bow, I absent-mindedly gazed at the sky and allowed her to lead the way. Finally I implored her to be my own little "dove." "I'm afraid I'd be a hungry dove," she answered; "Tve led you to three ice cream stands and two lunch counters, but you just gazed at the sky, so I'm going back to Jim."—Chicago Journal. First Punctuation Marks. In the oldest manuscripts the words usually join each other without break or separation. Manuscripts without punctuation marks of any kind generally are accepted as predating the Eighth century. Those which have no capital or other divisions are always very old, and the fewer and easier the abbreviations, the older it is. The most ancient manuscripts still preserved are those written in Egyptian tombs. Next to them in point of age are the Latin manuscripts found at Herculaneum. IS A POWERFUL DISINFECTANT Ozone Many Times Stronger Than Many of the Agents That Are in Common Use. Ozone is a powerful bactericidal agent, and can be used as a disinfectant in place of sulphur dioxide, formaldehyde or hydrocyanic acid. In fact, it is 160 times as powerful a disinfectant as sulphur dioxide, 37 times as formaldehyde, and nearly twice as powerful as hydrocyanic acid gas, writes Floyd W. Parsons in the World's Work. As a deodorant it has no superior. In the case of delicate odors, it destroys them, while with stronger odors it acts as a masking agent, due to its action on the olfactory membrane. When high concentrations of ozone are used, even the most powerful odors are destroyed. As to the effect of low concentrations of ozone on the human body, there is considerable evidence coming to hand which indicates that the ozone is not only harmless, but that its effect on the individual is beneficial. Medical research has developed the fact that when objectionable odors are present in the air people breathe, their respiration is depressed and the result is a deficient oxidation of the blood. Therefore, whether ozone really masks an odor or completely destroys it, the effect is healthful because the individual breathes more freely and fully. In other words, when bad odors are present in the air, there is an involuntary contraction of respiration, of which bodily reaction the individual is entirely unconscious. RED HAIR IN MEN AND WOMEN Altogether Charming on the Fair Sex, Says Writer, but Seidom on the Sterner. An English writer has recorded the following observations about red hair: "With apologies to any male friends of mine (I cannot remember many) who may have been entitled to the name of Rufus, I am bound to say that I never knew any man who would not have looked better with hair of any other color," says Prof. Saintsburg in "A Scrap Book." "On the other hand, red hair in girls and women is often—I think much more often than not—perfectly charming. Brick-dust red, with no gloss, is ugly enough, no doubt; but then all hair—except a very peculiar kind of black—requires gloss. Every other shade, from the lightest nasturtium to the darkest auburn chestnut, can be beautiful. This Venice knew, and, long before it, the Greeks. The Romans did not like red hair, but the Romans were people of very doubtful taste in many points of esthetics." Cat Has Many Relations The unsuspecting cat has many kinsfolk in the matter of names. Conspicuous among these is the catfish. The naming of the common denizen of fresh water has been explained in more ways than one, and the reader may take his choice. One recognized authority contents himself with the statement that the name, as commonly applied to the fishes of the family Siluridae, is an allusion to the long barbels or feelers about the mouth, which have been regarded as resembling the whiskers of a cat. This explanation is widely accepted, but the other authorities set forth a probable reason for the name in the statement that when a fish of this species is captured and brought to the surface it makes a sound like the purrring of a cat. Another offers both the barbels and the purring and throws in the added suggestion that the name was influenced by "some other fancied resemblance to a cat." They Knew the Witness. A circuit judge was holding court in a small backwoods town. A local character came up for trial, took the stand in due time and spun his narrative. The judge, something of a wag, charged the jury as follows: "If you believe the defendant's statement, he is guilty. That is all." The jury brought in a verdict of acquittal. Somewhat surprised, the judge after court asked the foreman why such a verdict was rendered. "We thought we were following instructions, your honor," exclaimed the foreman. "We know that bird. You couldn't believe him on oath." EMERSON'S LAUNDRY The Laundry That Suits All 1301 No. 24th St. Web. 0620 Ent at DE LUXE CAFE Burke & Wiley, Proprietors.
