When Is A Caucasian Pure-Bred? This is a conundrum which is no joke. It is a very serious matter with many of the first Creole families of Louisiana. To us outside who look on it is absurdly amusing, as the autics of those who make fools of themselves always are, no matter how serious to the participants. Louisiana was settled by the French. The French used to have less fear of race admixture than English settlers Many Creoles, like Cubans, have a dark complexion, and have been suspected of negro' blood, which they angrily deny. Louisiana has an elaborate terminology for the successive dilutions, from the mulatto and the quadroon downward—or upward—which we printed some weeks ago. When the dilution reaches the sixteenth fraction it is almost indistinguishable, and at the sixty-fourth no test can discover it. For all practicable purposes the man is a Caucasian—but not for Louisiana law. Of all the States, Louisiana ought to be the last to enact a law forbidding intermarriage of a white person with any one who has the least infusion of Negro blood. There is no knowing where it might hit, for in Louisiana beyond doubt many pass for white whose genealogy research would discover a few drops of Negro blood. Such a case has lately stirred up the State. A young woman of a good family, a graduate of a fashionable ladies' seminary in New Orleans, was killed by being run over in the street. A newspaper spoke of her as colored. That put the whole family into a horrible plight. They had always thought of themselves as white and had associated only with white people. Now nobody would associate with them. They must sink, the visibly white, to the rank and castle and association of Negroes. Hitherto they had been good enough to associate with shybody. Now, with no fault of their own, and no change in themselves, they were thrust, with all their whiteness, into the outer blackness. The dead girl had a sister happily married to a man of German origin. There was no question that he was a full Caucasian. But he had imbibed the Lusiana prejudice and terror of infinitesimal magnitude. He discovered—and his wife did—from the newspaper account that she had this bar sinister. He could not continue to live with such a banned woman. Besides the law forbade it. He was liable to imprisonment for maintaining marital relations with her. He appealed to the court to have his marriage annulled, and the court could do no less. So she was sent adritt with the rest of her family. Thus in this case two legal maxims had illustrations one by its truth, "Summa lex, summa injuria," and the other by its extreme contradiction, "De minimis lex non curat." The law does care a great deal for the smallest things. It cares in Louisiana for what is so attenuated as the invisible. HALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W. common sense as against all Christianity. Who knows where, through personal malice, it may strike next? The story is told in the Sun—very likely so—of a similar case in one of the parishes. A suit for slander was brought for calling a family colored. The sheriff looked up the records and found the charge sustained. As the investigation amused him, he looked farther and found one of his own ancestors recorded as colored—but a fortunate fire soon destroyed the proof. Now, what should be done? If Louisiana must maintain its infamous law against intermarriage, it should at least set a line where the prepotent Negro blood is to be held as washed out. Set it alone eighth, or one sixty-fourth, but at least set it somewhere. If we do not misremember, South Carolina has such a law. It is adding stupidity to cruelty to allow the taint to go on forever. And once more,we advise all white Negroes in Louisiana, or anywhere else in the South to change their residence and leave their pedigree behind. There is such a case now in Baltimore, where the doctors can't tell whether a girl is white or black. Let them leave as white people and be received as white people. We do not doubt there are thousands of such people, both North and South who have, by changing their home, changed their race and color. We have known such cases, and not all Creoles. Thus, as the bleaching process goes on, the conundrum will cease to concern them. When is a Caucasian not a Caucasian? - New York Independent. SAW WOOD.

In some countries voting is compulsory, and electors are fined if they do not do their duty as citizens and avail themselves of the franchise. According to the universal suffrage law of Austria all those on the register must record their votes, and at the last general election in that country 50,000 electors were fined sums from two dollars downward because they neglected to go to the poll. Spain is another country that looks on voting as a national duty, at least in the municipal election. Should a citizen omit to cast his ballot his name is publi-bed as a defaulter, his taxes are increased by two per cent., while if he be in the public service, his salary is reduced by one per cent. Should he commit the fault a second time he is debarred forever from holding an elective position or an appointment under government. A few years ago a bill to the same effect was brought before the parliament of Victoria. All defaulters were to be fined $250 unless they showed they were ill at the time, were blind, over sixty five years of age, or were unavoidably absent. A similar idea was mooted in Canada, the penalty being disfranchisement for six years — Soy Story. Long Lost Brothers United When the civil war broke out, John T. Markham, of Clarksville, Tenn., was among those who enlisted on the side of the Confederacy. He was born in Ireland, but in his boyhood his parents came to this country and settled in the "Sunny South." He was 20 years old when he "marched off to the war" in 1861, leaving behind him an invalid fa her and a mother with a baby boy in her arms. The baby was christened Charles H. Markham, but the family always called him "Chuck." John Markham was captured and brought to Chicago in September, 1863. For seven months he was held a prisoner of war at Camp Douglas. "Then he was exchanged." Friendless and penniless, it took him many weary weeks to work his way back to the little home town in Tennessee. When he did reach there it was only to find that his father had died during his absence and that his mother married again and moved away, taking little "Chuck" with her. "They've gone North somewhere, but just where nobody knowe," the ownepeople told John Markham. And all his efforts to find his mother and little brother were futile. Finally he gave up the search for them and went to Mississippi. He worked there and in other Southern States as a welldigger, brick layer, and plasterer. For several years he has been an employee of the Illinois Central Railroad at Hopkinsville, Ky. Such has been the life of John T Markham. In 1881 a boy of 20 asked for and got a job as a section laborer on the Santa Fe Railroad in Kansas. He did not stay long in that job, for a chance came to do the rough work at a little station on the Southern Pacific line. He had brains and ambition, and they kept him moving right up the railway ladder. In 1887 he became a station agent himself at Deming, New Mexico. Ten years later he was district freight and passenger agent of that company's lines in Oregon. In 1901 he became vice president of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. Three years later he succeeded Julius Kruttechnitt as vice president and general manager of the Southern Pacific. Last December he was elected president of the Illinois Central Railroad. His name? Well, he was christened Charles H. Markham, but when he was a baby the family called him "Chuck." The other day an old welldigger and plasterer working for the Illinois Central Railroad chanced to see the name of Charles H. Markham on an order issued from the office of the president of the company. "That may be my brother "Chuck," the old man said to his fellow workers. "Your brother president of the road! You're crazy," they jeered. be talked with the brother from whom he had been parted for half a century. The other day the private car of Charles H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central Railroad, arrived at Hopkineville, Ky., and availing the coming of "Little Chuck" was John T. Markham, welldigger and plasterer. — Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Smile and the world smiles with you, "Knock" and you go alone; For the cheerful grin Sing, and the world's harmonious, Grumble, and things go wrong, Yet all the time You are out of thyme With the busy, bustling throng.

NAMES A R man citizen generally had three names—a praenomen, denoting the individual; a nomen, indicating the gods or clan to which he be belonged, and a cognomen, specifying the particular branch of the clan to which he belonged. Sometimes he had also the agnomen, so that his full name would run as follows: Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus. For a long time men had but a single name, which was given them to indicate their special physical or mental peculiarities, as Plato, which signified "The man with the broad forehead."—Chicago Examiner.

SERIES OF MEETINGS ON PREVENTION OF DISEASE. Tuberculosis Society of St. Louis Cooperates In Health Conference. The first meeting of the Negro conference on tuberculosis was held under the auspices of the Anti-tuberculosis society in the Summer high school, St. Louis, from Monday afternoon, Dec. 12, to Friday, Dec. 16, inclusive. The president of the local conference is Professor F. L. Williams, who presided at the formal opening of the conference, at which exhibits were shown. Monday night's meeting was conducted by public school teachers, who had associated with them the teachers of the various Sunday schools. Professor A. J. Gossin presided. Tuesday evening, Dec. 13, was woman's night, and the presiding officer was Miss Arsania Williams. On Wednesday evening the Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman delivered an instructive lecture to the students of the Sunner high school. The meeting was presided over by Mr. George C. Poag. On Thursday evening there will be an oratorical contest, open to pupils of the Sunner high school, for a prize of $10, offered by Edward F. Goltra, chairman of the municipal commission on tuberculosis, for the best ten minute oration on "The Prevention of Tuberculosis Among Colored People." The conference will close with a talk on "Tuberculosis and the Colored Race" by Professor Edward S. Williams, a storeopticon exhibition and the appointment of permanent committees. There was a storeopticon lecture every evening during the conference, and this was open daily from 8 to 10. VOL. 30. NO. 3 Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. BY W. G. FALSE FRIENDS.

A reckless man, in a zoological garden, seized a venomous serpent by the neck, and held it up before his companions. The serpent began to coil itself about his arm and slowly tightened its grasp till the man was obliged to throw it off, and the serpent quickly turned and bit him, causing his death. The man thought he was strong enough to play with the serpent, and then thrust it from him. Thus it is with those who think they can dally with temptation with impunity, but they will find sooner or later that temptation will master them and be their undoing. PLEASE EXPLAIN. Representative John Sharp Williams has a new story. During the recent Mississippi election the Hon. Jeff Truly was one of the unsuccessful aspirants for the majority suffrage of his fellow citizens, but Probation doctrines figured in the struggle, and a Methodist minister said to Truly. "Brother Truly, I want to ask you a question—Do you ever take a drink of whiskey?" "Before I answer that question," responded Truly, "I want to know, whether it is an inquiry or an invitation." BY THE YARD One day several students approached a butcher's stall, and one of them, intent on playing a joke on the butcher, said, "Please let me have a yard of pork for a dollar?" "Give me the dollar first," replied the meat dealer. The student gave it to him. The butcher went to the ice box, amid the laughter of his customers, and returned with three pig's feet, and bonded them to the student, and said: "Three feet make one yard, as your arithmetic tells you." The students retired crestfallen. "MAN PROPOSES, GOD DISPOSES. When Napoleon, in 1812, undertook to invade and conquer Russia, the Russian ambassador said to him, "Sire, remember that man proposes, but God disposes." Napoleon arrogantly answered, "I want you to understand that I am he that proposes, and that I am also the man that disposes." God did not stir from his throne, but sent one of his smallest messengers—snowflake to punish the blasphemer, and Napoleon was forced to retreat from Moscow. He had already lost one hundred thousand men by war and sickness, and after all the losses he had but twenty five thousand left. The officials reported to the emperor of Russia that they had buried 218516 French corps and 95816 (Continued On Next Page) NX —— SS Qe DIDEPENDEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPEK BRVOTED TO TH4 MORAL, RELIGIOUS AND Witanola, DavsLOP ANT OF BUMAN- arn, - Rates of Bubscription: De YORE ese coos scan eeesenennee cose $1505 © monthe cena. cssscssesssensneesne TOC BS MOVES oroeree seveesessessseserrereee 400 Pay foral:advertisemoate ie due in edivance ucless advertising is run vy yearly contract. ia which case the ad wertion: pays every three months.

The PIONEER PRESS was never known to lag or trifle in any matter where the interest of the race was involved. For this characteristic, THE PRESS should have the unswerving support and encouragement of Negroes everywhere. It contains reliable news, interesting editorials and clever special articles. It is safely recommended to you as a perfect newspaper for the home and family. IT LEADS in the quantity of original matter which it furnishes its patrons. IT LEADS in its spicy editorials and fearless sayings. IT LEADS in its general, local and miscellany pages. TAKEN all in all, we don't feel that we are exaggerating when we state that The PIONEER PRESS is one of the best all around weekly papers in this country today. WE ARE not alone in making this statement, for some of the best and most prominent men of the United States have done likewise. These persons above referred to were not conned to one particular race, either, but to both. THE PIONEER PRESS Has the LARGEST city circulation— The LARGEST Foreign circulation— The LARGEST domestic and general circulation— The LARGEST county and rural circulation of any Negro newspaper in the United States— Has the LARGEST Anglo Saxon circulation— IS THE ABOVE SO? BECAUSE it is the pioneer of this section in blazing the way for truth, honesty, piety and frugality and all other requisites that are necessary for the making of manly men and womanly women of all races. BECAUSE it merits support and gets it is proof positive that people know a good thing when they see it. BECAUSE of its unique and original qualities the PIONEER PRESS has a noticeable exclusiveness enjoyed by no other paper in the class wherein it circulates.
