PLANS TO REACH POLE BY DRIFTING OVER IN PACK-ICE. Capt. Roald Amundsen Proposes to Gain Laurels by Only Course He Believes Possible. VOL. 23 NO. 40. The "Gjoeca," pronounced in Norwegian "Youa," is the vessel in which Capt. Roald Amundsen made his expedition through the Northwest passage, starting from the Atlantic side and after going along the north coast of North America emerged through Bering strait into the Pacific. The vessel is only forty-nine tons and measures seventy-two feet in length, yet she carried sufficient provisions to last her crew of seven men through three years and four months. When Amundsen came to Herschel island and ordered the men to freeze the frozen in, he gave them nearly 3,000 pounds of four and some other provisions. With these articles he could have bought from the Esquimau every fur and skin on the north coast of Alaska, but it is characteristic of the man that he preferred to help his fellow creatures. The Gloea was fitted with a motor propeller and carried thousands of gallons of kerosene oil. She was not specially built for this expedition, but is an old sealing vessel of the Norwegian type, thirty-five years old. Amundsen selected her because she corresponded with his limited means and with his plan of carrying a small expedition, the main object of which was locate the north magnetic pole. He had to spend a couple of years taking preparations. He reached a small harbor excellently suited for the purpose situated on King William land some 100 miles due south of the real polearea. The following summer was warm, and open water stretched far away toward the west, making it an easy thing to gain and accomplish the sailing of the Northwest passage which for 400 years has been the dream of the explorer; yet Roald Amundsen never yielded to the temptation. The following summer when he had gained possession of the scientific facts he had been seeking he started westward, but conditions were not so year to make the trip. He took him a whole year previous he could undoubtedly have achieved in six weeks. The Gloea is now resting at the Mare Island navy yard. Amundsen's main object of the fu GRAND CROSS OF THE ITALIAN CROWN ORDER. ture is to reach the geographical north pole by an expedition framed upon the plan of drifting across the pole with the pack ice. Amundsen thinks this is the only way to get there, and he will start as soon as he has raised the sufficient capital. Since his return from the Gloea expedition Amundsen has received more disinjunctions and marks of honor than has ever before been bestowed upon a scientist. King Haakon of Norway gave him the Grand Cross of the St Olaf Order. King Frederick of Denmark the gold medal for distinguished service, with the royal crown, a distinction given to few people. From Emperor William he received the Grand Cross of the German Imperial Crown Order. From the emperor of Austria the Grand Cross of the Francis Joseph Order. From the king of Italy the Emperor of Rome the German Order. From President Fallerle the Commander's Cross of the Legion of Honor, and from the King of Belgium the Cross of the Leopold Order. By all these monarchs he has been received in private audiences, and Emperor William took particular pains to honor Amundsen by attending his lecture before the geographical society at GRAND CROSS OF THE NORWE- GIAN ST. OLAF ORDER. Berlin, where the emperor appeared dressed in the uniform of a Norwegian admiral. Amundsen also was invited to audience by the Russian czar, who dispatched his own private railway car to take him from St. Petersburg to the palace of Tzarko Selo. Amundsen has also received gold medals from the Royal Geological Society of England, the Royal Norwegian society, the Royal Danish Geographical society, the Gesellschaft for Erdkunde at Berlin, the Royal Belgian Geographical society, the Royal Geographical Society of Antwerp, the French Geological Society of Paris, the Royal Belgian Yacht club, and silver medals from the city of Paris, the city of Antwerp and from the navy of France. This last medal has not been given before to anybody but the greatest nautical investigators like Columbus, Magellan, Cabot and a few others. Several American scientific societies also have sent medals of honor and elected him to honorary membership. All these distinctions and honors with which he has been showered GRAND CROSS OF THE GERMAN CROWN ORDER. show that Roald Amundsen is looked upon as an explorer of the foremost type, and his exploit of circumnavigating North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean takes rank among the greatest geographical achievements in the world's history. But with all these marks of honor and with attention from people in the highest positions, Roald Amundsen has remained the plain and every-day citizen of the plain. He is now writing a popular book relating the adventurous voyage of the Gjoea, and after finishing this work, he will come to the United States upon the invitation of several scientific and geographical societies. In many respects William Land people are unlike any other known Eskimos. They are large of stature and practice polyandry, each married woman having several husbands. The cause of this rests in the fact that the big majority of children born are women. They tell many funny stories from his meetings with these Eskimos.

They made written signs on pieces of paper themselves and were equally surprised when none could make anything out of their scribblings. The Eskimo's patience when pursuing a certain object is marvelous. He can stay for ten hours beside a hole in the ice waiting for a seal to show up. Amundsen once gave an Eskimo hunter an iron bar ten inches long and half an inch thick. The native was going to make a harphead head, but on second consideration he decided to split it lengthwise so as to get materials for two harpheads. All the tools he had to accomplish was an old table knife from the Gloeo, which he dented along the edge until resembled a saw. With this cuttlefish he carried to saw the iron bar lengthwise, two pieces and after a month's incessant labor he had succeeded in so doing. From each piece he made a harpof a workmanship so fine that it is impossible to understand how it could have been done almost without tools. Amundsen bought one of them and paid well for it. CUT OUT THE WORD LUCK. Give Expert Sportman Credit for Rich Hauls. Speaking of fishing, "fishermen's luck," "lucky fishermen," etc., says the Miami (Fla.) Record, what does it all mean, anyhow? To say a man is a lucky fisherman is merely to admit his superiority as a fisherman over other fishermen. The fish are in the water; we all have the same chance to get them, yet some "lucky fishermen" always come home with their fish boxes full and the other fellow gets nothing. In the parlance of the fisherman, the word "luck" really means "knowledge." The "lucky fisherman" you will find, knows the rock holes where the grouper lurks; he knows the channels in and about the patches and passes where the amberjack and barracuda live. he knows how to bait his hooks for different fish as occasion may require; he knows the style of hook to use for every kind of fish; he is a judge of what style of fishing to do under certain conditions of wind and weather, and above all, he is uniting in his efforts to use all of his knowl- SUPPLIES FOR A DAY'S FISHING The Question as to the Proportions of Liquid and Solid Refreshment. "Just what proportion the liquid should bear to the solid refreshment taken on a fishing trip," said an angler, "has always been and I suppose always will be a moot question. "Men differ about this as they do about so many other things; some men want more solid and less liquid and some want less solid and more liquid. "What makes me think about this just now is seeing two men that I meet want making for the waterfront to go for a day out. One of these men carried under his arm two small loaves of bread, while between them the two men carried a case containing two dozen bottles of beer. "You see? These men evidently were among those who think that the proportion of liquid refreshment carried should be large, but then you may meet men who think just the other way, including men who go so far that way that all they would carry in the shape of liquids when they go fishing would be a joke of water. So, to this; I would differ widely, as to this; but I would as a matter of observation, in which I think all fishermen will agree, that the more liquids carried, the less fish caught, and the less liquids, the more fish.

Persons who happened to be in tall buildings this morning or on any elevation where the lake was visible, saw one of the most wonderful mirages that have been noted in this section in a long time. From the office of the chamber of commerce the mirage was plainly visible to the naked eye, the Canadian shore looming up as if it was no farther than the northern limits of the city. By the use of field phases, the outlines of buildings along the coast could be seen, and those who witnessed the phenomena all agreed that it was the clearest mirage they had, ever seen.—Rochester Union and Advertiser.

Speaking of fishing, "fishermen's luck," "lucky fishermen," etc., says the Miami (Fla.) Record, what does it all mean, anyhow? To say a man is a lucky fisherman is merely to admit his superiority as a fisherman over other fishermen. The fish are in the water; we all have the same chance to get them, yet some "lucky fishermen" always come home with their fish boxes full and the other fellow gets nothing. In the parlance of the fisherman, the word "luck" really means knowledge.

Last year when Gen. Shattie broke the world's record for catching a large number of tarpon in a few hours, or fisherman said he is "so lucky." It is surely a peculiar coincidence that his stick to the general. He just cannot get to him like paper on the wall. All this season the Buckeye, the general's natty little yacht, has always returned from her day's pleasure fishing trips with her fish box full; on days, too, when others were wondering why the fish would not strike. The general is fond of outdoor exercise, and of late has been taking a couple of hours' run up the bay and back and, incidentally, catching a tarpon or two on the shore. Just because he has time and needs the exercise, and about the easiest way for some people to get regular exercise is to catch a tarpon every day. To do this must be "lucky." HE DEMONSTRATED. Baggageman Showed What Woulo Happen to Gripsack. The baggage handlers on the railroads are justly called "baggage smashers." In Washington one day a distinguished French visitor to this country pointed out to one of these men a rather frail gripsack. "Is that strong enough," he asked, "to go in the baggage car?" "I'll see," said the man. He lifted the grip high above his head and threw it on the platform with all his might. "That," he said, "is what she'll get in Philadelphia." He took it up again and banged it against the side of a car four or five times. "That is what she'll get in Chicago," he went on. He tossed it high in the air, and on its back clumped on it. This broke the lock so that the contents were scattered over the platform. "And that's what she'll get in Sloux City," he concluded. "You'd better take her in the Pullman with you, boss," he added, graciously, "if you're going further than Sloux City." When the Spaniards built the city of Panama to be the great port of their Pacific commerce they put around it walls which they expected to save them from raiders of all sorts. Although these walls were built by natives forced to work almost for nothing, they cost, says Mr. Forbes Lindsay, not less than $11,000,000. The king of Spain, the story goes, looked wearly and long one day out of the westerly windows of his palace. One of his ministers inquired the reason for his apparent anxiety. "I am looking," said the king, "for those costly walls of Panama. They ought to be visible even at this distance." The proprietor of a large business house bought a number of signs reading "Do It Now" and had them hung around the office, hoping to inspire his people with promptness and energy in their work. In his private office one day soon afterward a friend asked him how the scheme affected the staff. "Well, not just the way I thought it would," answered the proprietor. The cashier skipped with $15,000, the head secretary with wood with the for private secretary; three clerks asked for an increase in salary and the office boy ran away to become a highwayman. The Toughest Wood. What is believed to be the toughest wood in the world has been found recently in Southwestern Australia. Until these late tests were made the yate tree was considered of no great value, but since it has been discovered that the wood is about as strong as cast iron, some of it even equaling wrought iron in strength, the price promises to soar. Raid on Door Knockers. An extraordinary raid has been made upon 130 houses at Sands End, Fulham. Not a knocker is left upon the door of any of these premises. The tenants wondered why the milkman and the postman did not knock, as usual, and then discovered that in the early hours the knockers had ripped off. Thirteen streets were vaulted by the gang responsible for the outrage, and in one road on one side every door has lost its knocker. THE FARMER'S WEEKLY NEWS MRS. DICKINSON HOME FROM M. A SUCCESSEUL HUNT A two-year honeymoon and battle with ill health has just been finished in triumph by Mr. and Mrs. E. Potter Dickinson of Ridgway, Pa. That period immediately most couples pass in luxurious transit through the famous show places of the world on the finest Pullman trains and floating palaces, this pair spent in most heroic "roughing it." They went through the wildest country of the North American continent with an outfit as primitive as those which carried the pioneers of the early days through the primeval West, they traveled stretches of coun- E. PORTER DICKINSON. try where day after day passed without one living person being encountered, they risked hunger and thirst, going over little-known routes, they battled with wolves and other wild animals and suffered from the extremes of cold and heat. But they were repaid, for they succeeded in a quest. It was in search of health that they wished on this most unusual honey-moon. To-day Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson boast of the most perfect physical condition, the direct result of having cut away from the big cities and breaking out in the open, next to nature, where the open air converts invalids into healthy beings, and effects cures far beyond the ken of the most talented specialists. When the Dickinsons were wed in Ridgway, Pa., in the fall of 1905, the prospect was not all rosy. Ill health had the groom in its clutch. A man big business interests, he had neglected business with the cautious would have recognized as signs of lung trouble. Mrs. Dickinson suggested a honey-moon that would benefit her husband's health. He cast aside business, cut the wires and got so far away that no message by telegraph or telephone, mall or carrier stood a chance of reaching him. First the pair went to Amerilia, Mex. This trip was made by rail in the quickest possible way, so that Mr. Dickinson rest there for a time, and get strengthened by the strenuous experiences which faced him. When then the groom had gathered vigor, husband and wife set out on their trip. With an outfit wagon and fine team they crossed the famous "Staked Plains." Entirely alone, save for a guide, the pair rode for days without meeting a human being. Food and drink were difficult problems on this long ride. The wagon was stocked with a supply of canned FISHING THE LUCKY BRIDEGROOM RETURNING TO CAMP. With a string of black bass weighing 106 pounds. provisions, but weeks of these and nothing else caused a yearning for fresh meat. This craving had to go unsatisfied till one blissful day Mr. Dickinson stirred up an antelope. There were several, but all but one got away. This one fell a victim to the husband's aim, and afforded a two days' feast to the couple. Worse than the difficulty of getting fresh meat was the constant trouble of finding water. In the midst of this long trip many curious, some dangerous, experiences came to them. One night as they slept in the shadow of the dying embers of their campfire Mr. Dickinson was startled by a sound new to him, but which it is said that even the novice recognizes at first hearing. It was the howling of wolves. Steadily they drew nearer to the camp, until their greenish eyeballs could be seen in the surrounding woods. Mr. Dickinson wakened his wife, and the two took refuge in the wagon, which they surrounded with the horses, so that the animals could be protected from the bloodthirsty ravagers which drew ever nearer. Rife in hand, Mr. Dickinson sat in the front of the wagon, occasionally firing a too venturesome wolf camel into the open. Several times a howl of pain told of a bullet that had hit its mark. Mrs. Dickinson used a pistol. It was not until nearly dawn that the wolves withdrew. Still more exciting was the experience with a "Great Norther." This is the term applied to the noted windy conditions, for which this region is famous. $2.40 PER YEAR. For three days they were windbound. The wind blew without an instant's interruption, not in gusts or puffs, but in a steady, compelling current that bent over trees, and never gave them, selves a chance to straighten up, be cause it never stopped. All that the Dickinsons had with them would have been blown away but for the advice and help of the MRS. E. PORTER DICKINSON. guide, who aided them to pick a sheltered spot and make everything fast. On Nov. 2 the Dickinson's pulled into Roswell, N. Mex., in a rainstorm and mud hud-dee. From this point the moved on to the North Spring river. This place they found so nearly ideal that they camped there, spending the entire winter hunting and fishing. Under this kind of treatment the husband, who had been scant of breath, weak in appetite and all nerves at the outset of the trip, found himself putting on weight, eating like a horse and sleeping as though he had never known such things as nervous troubles. The lungs that had been a cause of fear, gained in soundness and no exposure seemed to have the least ill effect. M RETURNING TO CAMP. a ss weighing 106 pounds. Late in March the pair bade farewell to the North Springs river and went to the Pesos river. En route they stopped at whatever place caught their fancy, staying days, weeks or months. This journey was attended with more than its proportion of experiences. The Dickinsonns encountered alkali water, which they couldn't drink, and only a liberal supply carried along kept them from actual suffering. They were caught in quicksands, and suffered terribly at times from the snowstorms encountered crossing the mountains. Near Trinidad they were snowed in for ten days, and got so short of provisions that in would have been necessary to kill one of the horses but for a a牣 which let them continue to another station, where they stayed for several weeks. But fine hunting and fishing, sunsets and natural scenery all along the line that would have merited being committed to canvas by the finest artists in the world, was generous compensation for all that the trip involved in hardships. Cowboys encountered from time to time treated the voyagers royally. The trip ended at Fort Collins, some 100 miles away, Colo. Altogether it took about two hours and in this time Mr. Dickinson cites that he slept in the open air away from the shelter of even an awning on all the nights save about three months of the time. When he came East his old friends hardly recognized him, though from time to time his letters, which he never permitted to be answered, told progress to the best of all possessions. He was a man of pride, a profited greatly, and the pair prepared to start married life with a splendid supply of health and energy. HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL?

About a year has passed since the bloody massacre of innocent Afro-Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we reprint, Du Bois' famous "A Litany of Atlanta" that the race may not forget Atlanta's reign of terror. The riot was caused by the incendiary editorials of the Atlanta News and the Journal owned by A Litany of Atlanta Silent God, Thou whi left our ears an-hung Hear us, good Lord h Listen to us, Thy child, a mockery in Thy sanctua- heaven, O God, crying: We beseech Thee to h We are not better than human men.

Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity? Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Justice, O Judge of men! Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead? Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine hearsed and lifeless form stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow bitter forms of endless dead? Awake, Thou that sleepest!

We cite the following instances: When a man really and truly loves a woman, it is a natural law that he desires to make her his wife, and will go through torment in order to do so.

At the triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church America, now in session at Richmond Va., a proposition is to be made segregate the Afro-American mer THE NATURAL OPERATION OF NATURAL LAWS. Bishop Satterlee states with approval the following from Thomas Nelson Page: "What we have to do is to stop interference with the natural operation of natural laws." THE APPEAL heartily concurs with the eminent churchman as the eminent other fellow, whatever be his vocation. It is a well known fact that the natural operation of human nature is "to touch upon the flesh, pass lightly over the world and hasten to the Devil as speedily as possible." This natural operation of natural law, Bishop Satterlee and others of his ilk have organized a trust called the Church to interfere with, but with rather poor success, it seems, according to the Bishop's own statement. The reason is clear—the good Bishop proposes to interfere with natural laws when it suits his convenience and taste to do so and to howl very lustily whenever he discovers any one else trying to do the use voice afar in mist and mystery ha ered in these fearful days— ent our faces dark with doubt, are ma- ng. With unlifted hands we front Tl A city lay in travail, God our Lord, and from her loins sprang twin Murder and Black Hate. Red was the midnight; clang, crack and cry of death and fury filled the air and trembled underneath the stars when church spires pointed silently to Thee. And all this was to sate the greed of greedy men who hide behind the veil of vengeance! Bend us Thine ear, O Lord! In the pale, still morning we looked upon the deed. We stopped our ears and field our leaping hands, but they—did they not wag their heads and leer and cry with bloody jaws: Gase from Crime! The word was mockery, for thus they train a hundred crimes while we do cure one. Turn again our captivity, O Lord! Behold this maimed and broken thing; dear God it was an humble black man who toiled and sweat to save a bit from the pittance paid him. They told him: Work and Rise. He worked. Did this man sin? Nay, but some one told how some one said another did—one whom he had never seen nor known. Yet for that man's crime this man lieth maimed and murdered, his wife naked to shame, his children, to poverty and evil. Doth not this justice of hell stink in Thy nostrils, O God? How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance? Pile the pale frenzy of blood-crazed brutes who do such deeds high on Thine altar, Jehovah Jireh, and burn it in hell forever and forever! Forgive us, good Lord; we know not what we say! Bewildered we are, and passion-tost, mad with the madness of a mobbed and mocked and murdered people; straining at the armposts of Thy Throne, we raise our shackled hands and charge Thee, God, by the bones of our stolen fathers, by the tears of our dead mothers, by the very blood of Thy crucified Christ: What meaneth this? Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! When a man really and truly loves a woman, it is a natural law that he esires to make her his wife, and will go through torment in order to do so. This natural law the Southern states, one and all, have interfered with, by making it a felony for a white man to marry an Afro-American woman, or for a minister or magistrate to unite such persons in marriage. Consequently, all over the South men and women are living in enforced adultery, and producing illegitimate children. An instance occurred recently in Little Rock, Arkansas. A wealthy, white man died, leaving a large estate to his mulatto children. The white father evidently loved his mulatto wife and mulatto children; but by the operation of the law of the state, the natural operation of the natural law of the love of a man for his offspring was sadly interfered with. We could extend such instances ad infinitum, by showing how such eminent statesmen as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Richard M. Johnson and John Randolph were discomposed, by the interference, with natural law—how they had to send their Afro-American descendants to the free states, to England and to France in order to secure for them a good education. And such was the history At the triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America, now in session at Richmond, Va., a proposition is to be made to segregate the Afro-American members of the church. The plea is that it is not to be done because of race prejudice, but for the "best interests of the race." That's what the slaveholders said before the war. The colored people were held in bondage, because it was "for their best interests." It is the same old rot that oppressors always give out. The saddest feature of the whole matter is that there are many Afro-Americans who are willing and anxious to be jimmyed, but they are of the same class as the "good old niggers" of ante-bellum days—men who hope to profit by the degredation of their fellows. No Afro-American who has'a particle of manhood in his composition will consent to any kind of a jimcrow arrangement. The self-respecting Afro-American will demand that he be continued on a plane of absolute equality with other churchmen as at present—or leave the church.

The signs of the times indicate very clearly that the white man will shortly be relieved from his burden of "toting" the Brown, Yellow and Black races all over the world. According to the following, it will not be very long before he will drop China like a hot potato and thereby relieve himself of the weight of some 400 000 000 million of Orientals: "In the single province of Chili alone is a standing army of 70,000 men dressed in khaki, clean, well shod, and with peaked caps shielding their eyes from the sun. They carry Mannlicher or Mauser rifles, and know how to use them. A similar army is being gradually created in each of the other eighteen provinces. Of this vast imperial host which is rapidly reaching the one-million mark, the board of war in Peking has nominally the supreme military control, laying down regulations which the viceroys and governors of the provinces carry out." Since the Chinese have been Christianized to the extent of using Mauser rifles instead of "two-hand jingais", the white brother may safely leave their future moral and religious development to themselves. In his sensible Jamestown speech, Gov. Warfield said: "Baltimore has contributed of her capital and her enterprising men to this great development of the South, and has invested over $200,000,000 in Southern railroads, Southern cotton mills, Southern street railways, Southern coal mines, timber lands, and factories. Her financiers and capitalists have had faith in the integrity and credit of the South. The question confronting us to-day is shall that confidence be destroyed? Has it been shaken by the recent attitude of some of the people of the South toward corporations and corporate interests? But the Governor, in the expression "some of the people of the South," minimizes the situation. "Some of the people of the South" did not put the railroads to the immense expense of the jim crow cars and waiting rooms—it was the act of the people of the state through their official representative, the General Assembly. So throughout the list when the enacting clause of a law is: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Maryland—it does not say that it is some of the people: THE GEORGIA LAW. Two Northern journals, the Toledo Blade and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, differ as to the Georgia disfranchisement law. The former asserts that the law is in direct conflict with the constitution, the other says: "The law is absolutely constitutional. There is not a word in it which disorminates between white and black citizens." However, "under the clause establishing a test of general intelligence an election official can ask a white man a perfectly simple question and a Negro an exceedingly difficult one, such as requiring one to state the sum of 2 and 2 and the other to extract the cube root mentally." Whether or not it is against the constitution of the United States for a state to pass a law for the promotion of cheating we leave for the wise to determine, but such is the manifest intent of the Georgia law.

An interesting case is pending in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia involving a covenant expressed in a deed that the purchaser obligated herself not to rent, lease transfer or convey the land and premises unto any Negro or "Colored person," under penalty of $2,000. But in fact said land was sold to a person said to be "colored;" and therefore, the next door neighbor asks the Court to enjoin the occupancy of the property by said purchaser. It seems to THE APPEAL (sitting as a Supreme Court) that the complainant's recourse must be on the seller who violated the covenant and not upon the innocent purchaser who had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, THE APPEAL cannot see that the complainant can make any better plea than the purchaser can. The one says that the proposed occupancy would do him great pecuniary harm; who knows but that not being allowed to occupy his home would do the purchaser much harm? WHO'S WHO? A case said to be without precedent in any court was instituted in Suffolk, Va., when Mrs. Rosa Stone, white, entered suit for $1,000 damages against the Norfolk and Western Railroad for being compelled to ride in a "jim crow" car among Afro-Americans. No doubt this trouble has arisen from the fact that the Railroad is employing incompetent conductors. In Virginia, one of the most important functions of a conductor is to decide: Who's who. Of course Mrs. Stone acted very imprudently in entering a railroad car clothed in a dark skin, but proba bly it was the only cuticle she had. Still that does not excuse the conductor as it was his business to know. WHAT SAID GEN. SHERIDAN? A railroad man of Dallas tells the Washington Post that the law against guzzling on railway trains in Texas is doing much good. He explains thus: "It has had a good effect in eliminating to a large extent the rowdyism that occurred on almost all the local trains, especially on Saturday nights when the young bloods, after visiting the larger towns and filling up, would take along a bottle on their way home and keep up their debauch all the way, much to the annoyance of other passengers. It was getting so bad in some localities that shooting was not infrequent and this terrorized the people so that traffic fell off." It seems to be a pity that the law should so ruthlessly interfere with the pleasantries of the "young bloods," but as the other passengers seem to not have appreciated pleasantries, perhaps that was the only remedy. By the way, what was it Gen. Sheridan said about Texas and Hades? Savannah, Ga.—The colored man is progressing. Much interest has been developed in the ownership of automobiles by two of the more prosperous of their race here. The machines have attracted a good deal of attention on the streets driven by colored owners." It is true also not so stated that the procuring of automobiles, etc., is the means employed by the Afro-American to avoid riding in the jim crow cars. Such means are employed in the Southern cities to such an extent as to materially reduce the earnings of the street car companies. "Kentucky repudiates.
