SATURDAY, DECEMBER, 22, 1900 One of the most assinine inconsistencies of which the whites are guilty, is the terrible hullabaloo they kick up when an Afro-American and Caucasin are legally wedded. The latest in that direction occurred in Lower Allegheny Tuesday when William Zeller, white, a traction employ, married Jennie Manley, an Afro-American, and went to his home on Richmond street. Richard Zeller, a cousin of the groom, together with the latter's father, tried to break into the room where the couple were, while a crowd numbering nearly one thousand people encouraged the besiegers with cries of "Lynch them!" "Kill them!" and kindred phrases. At midnight the couple were barricaded in their home under police protection. The father, under his excitement, is said to have threatened to kill his son before morning or commit suicide. There would have been very little thought of it, if they had begun to live together as man and wife, without the legal formality of a marriage ceremony. In fact, it is almost considered the proper thing for a white man, in the South, especially, to keep an Afro-American mistress. But for them to be joined in the holy bonds of matrimony according to God's holy ordinance and the laws of the land, is so terrible a disgrace that the father of the groom threatens to murder his own son or commit suicide. That there are some people in this country who do not believe that a black criminal is worse than white ones, is evidenced in the following poetic excerpt from the San Francisco Bulletin. It speaks for itself: They burnt the Negro boy today For his inhuman deed- A beast, no doubt, but what are they If not the self-same breed? They burnt the Negro boy today— Just sixteen summers old. He showed no heart, himself, say they, Let ours be deathly cold. They burnt the Negro boy today! In Paterson last week WHAT ABOUT PHIS? Now what will be done about it? The telegraphic dispatches from Indianapolis state that positive evidence has been secured by the state that the man who was known as "Whistling Joe" Rolla and who was hanged by a Spencer county mob at Booneville Monday night was innocent of any participation in the murder of Barber Simon at Rockport. If it is better that ten guilty should go free rather than one innocent suffer, what will be done about this? This lynching of human beings because God, who made all, in His wisdom made the lynchers white and the lynched black must be stopped. What excuse have these lynchers now, for their MURDER of Rolla? Next Tuesday is Christmas Day, the one day in the year to which all little folks look forward with the fondest expectant hopes. The coming of Santa Claus is looked for with the same earnestness as was the coming of Christ 1900 years ago. Fond parents have spent hours of toll and many dollars to glad the young hearts of their children, and friends and relatives are making supreme efforts to do something to please others. Truly Christmas, with its custom of making presents, seems to verify the biblical saying: "Tis more blessed to give than to receive." AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL Sub-Executive Committe to Meet in Wash- ington December 28, 1990 Inglewood, December 28, 1900. The members of the sub-executive committee of the Afro-American Council are hereby directed to meet in the parlor of the Southern Hotel; 311 Pennsylvania avenue, northwest, Washington, D. C., Friday, at 12 o'clock, noon. December 28, 1900. This will be the first meeting of the sub-executive committee since the annual meeting in Indianapolis in August last, it is of the greatest importance that all the members should attend. The test case now pending in the matter of the new constitution of Louisiana is to be further considered in the light of what has been accomplished by the committee having the matter in charge during the past year. The question of the reduction of Southern representation in Congress and the Electoral College under the new apportionment, under the provisions of the Fourteenth amendment will also be thoroughly considered and a plan of action suggested. The question of a more thorough organization of the council in all the States and Territories will also be discussed and plans to promote the work of organization pursued. By order of the president.

Mr. Charles Fletcher, a well known young man in our city who stole $150 from Miss Christiansen, the dressmaker at 726 Second Ave. So, he had his trial Dec. 13th and pleaded not guilty. He was given a reformatory sentence of one year and six months. Geo W. Nolson, the East Side druggist, is keeping in line with the progress of the age, insmnum as he is improving his store by the addition of an elegant up-to-date soda tounrain, from which he promises will be drawn a sparkling soda, second to none in the city. When you are out wheeling give him a call. The person who took Rev. Wither's overcool during the bazaar has failed to return it, and as it continued to grow cold, the church decided he must give her, so they voted to give him $15 to purchase another. This amount was supplemented by the following individual donations. Messrs Henry Roberts $1.00, Wm. Lisbon 28c, Arthur Ellis 25c, Meadames 28c, Ann Brock 25c, C. Campbell 25c, N-Greene 10c, J. C.

Jenkins, the well-known hotel man of Minneapolis, has leased the flat No. 9 Second street north and has remodeled and refurbished it with all modern improvements. It is situated in a desirable location, being one from the Nicollet house and three from the West hotel. The rooms will be those who desire neat and comfortable rooms at reasonable rates. Call at No. 9 Second street north, first flat for W. M. Jenkins, proprietor. The mask social given at St. Peter's church last Saturday evening was a success in every way. Miss Floranle Jackson as "Topsy," received the silver spoon as the most comically lady. Others that deserve special mention are: Master Carl Elder, the "Hold-up Man," who carried a gun as large as himself, Bertram Tucker represented a "Sister of Charity" and was often seen in a corner in an attentive of prayer. But Clarence Cunningham played them all as the wash woman. A phonograph furnished the music for the children. The social was for the benefit of the pastor. You may depend upon it that there are as good hearts to serve men in palaces as in cottages.-Robert Owen. Defective Page THE MONEY SAVING STORE!
