pisfioP POTTER THINES | § 00D AS HE IS \EGRO A : AR .cONGHATULATED ROOSEVELT ON EN TERTAINING WASHINGTON. S says He Was warned Not to Visit the south as He Could Expect No Hospitality. Wants to Ele vate the Race. j3ishop Potter was the chairman and Booker Washington the p.rincipal speaker at @ pow-wow held in New vork a few nights ago in the interest of southern negro schools. Bishop Porter, who is one of the noisy northern cranks and ‘so—cglled I.hi}anthropists that are busying them selves to wimprove'’ conditions in the south, said Ve must dea) with the black man as a problem, not in fragments, but as 4 whole. In doing this, we must be prepared not to meet with a great deal of sympathy from certain quarters. 1 must confess tbat the first man who entered my mind as I entered this hall was the senior senator from South Carolina. Some time ago in Boston he delivered himself of the strange ut terance that what these institutions at Hampton and Tuskegee were doing was but to educate the negro so as to enable him to enter the trades and crowd out the white people. Thisisa peculiar diserimination to make, just as we have begun to eleyate the color ed man and women. We ought to realize that the main thing that di vides the negro from the white is lack of culture, and that by giving him this culture we will ennoble him and raise him to a level of intelligence and cre ative citizenship.” Booker Washington was introduced by Bishop Potter, who said that after the president had entertained Booker T.Washingvon as his guest he tele graphed him as follows: ] congratulate you upon your guest. He was a guest at my table last winter and [ never entertained a worthier one.”’ Somehow or other,”’ continued the bishop, ‘‘my message became public and since that time I have received numerous letters from people south of the Mason and Dixon line, asking me not to show myself in their neighbor hood, as their citizens had no desire to entertain me.” OPENED WITH PRAYER. Preacher Given That Permission When Sworn. The Rev. J. A. Kring was a witness in a trial at Fort Scott. Kan., the oth erday, and before he was sworn he asked the justice/if he might be per mitted to open his testimony with prayer. The justice responded that if the jury had no objection he would have none. Thereupon the preacher walked over to the jury, kneeled down before them and offered uv a supplica tion. He prayed that the Lord would keepthem from all evil and guide them to a right understanding, and he praved that each witness would be made to realize that if he swore false ly he would be visited by the wrath of God. When the trial came to a con clusion. the churcb and the preach er lost. Apparently it was another of those mysterious dispensatious through which the wiched sometimes triumph, To Ture a Cold in One Day. : Take Luxznive_ Bromo Quinine Tab ‘ets.

Good Stories Told at a Banquet in Honor of Andrew Carnegie. It takes a surgical operation to get a joke into a Scotchman’s head! Let no man say this again, says the New York World. If ever a company of banquet ers was in a roar from beginnihg to end of the speechmaking it was the gallant 450 Scots who paid tribute to Andrew Carnegie at the Delmonico dinner the other night. Never was such a batch of good stories told all in the same evening. Mr. Carnegie, Mark Twain and ex-Justice Henry E. How land outvied the other in humor. ANDREW CARNEGIE. “I never thought I'd be president of this society for three times. When you, Mr. Mayor elect, get to be president of the United States, which is not at all unlikely, I pray you will not serve more than two terms; it might em barrass you. I want you all to remem ber this—you cannot all succeed in dy ing poor. Some of you Scotchmen will persist in leaving something behind you. “Tonight we're as ‘hieland’ as whisky and as lowland as haggis. ‘lt's like the higher criticism,” said an old woman who believed in it. ‘Now, take the doctrine of total depravity; it's as guid as onny of them if you only live up ! MARK TWAIN. “It's like the old woman who wrote of her great distress: ‘First Mary died, and then the callant—the shepherd dog. Then husband died, and at last the cow, but I got 15 shilling out of her hide. This reminds me of the school boy who said, ‘A lie is an abomination in the sight of the Lord and an ever present help in time of trouble. “There was a man whose mother-in law died, and he received a telegram asking: ‘Shall we bury, embalm or cremate?” He replied, ‘lf these fail, try dissection’ He knew the other three would be tried anyway. “Then there’s the boy who said, ‘Faith is believin’ what you know ain’t so. He's now studying for the min istry. “An old Irish widow was sitting on the curb, tired out with carrying her basket of washing. Two granddames stopped near to discuss the past sum mer. “ ‘I went to Long Branch, and it was nothing but Irish, Irish! “«Yes, and I went to Saratoga, and it was nothing but Irish, Irish, Irish, too! | “Then the old washerwoman arose in | her wrath. ‘ “ ‘Why didn’t you go to hades? Faith, there’s no Irish there! | “] remember the day I was born. It was bitter cold. I came into the world without clothes. I was astonished. I spoke of it to my parents. They bad no explanation when taken so suddenly except the old excuse that it was cus tomary. What was custom to me at that age of life? All you care then is how you look. I mever felt so embar rassed in all my life.” \ EX-JUSTICE HENRY E, HOWLAND. “In the midst of life we are—in Brooklyn. “This is a land of milk and honey, with occasional deposits of coal arnd iron. That was like the Irishman who wanted to reduce sixteen to one to its lowest terms, so he called it ‘nothing to ate.’ ) | “Boston is a town so antiquated that the streets are bent double with age. | They know the language so well that the little children advise each other to read Emerson before they outgrow it. When a little Boston girl fell from al ladder, her mother cried out, ‘Darling; how did you fall? “‘Vertically, mammal “Chicago is such a rapid town that a man gets ahead of his future before he *an get really started on his career.” Practically Starving. “After using a few bottles of Kodol( Dyspepsia Cure my wife received per- [ feet and permanent relief from 3a severe and chronic case of stomach trouble,’’ says J.

The birthplace of Abrham Lincoln, near Hodgenville, Ky., is advertised at sheriff’s sale for taxes. | A few years ago the place promised to be a property upon which the gov ernment would spend thousands of aollars, but it was bought by a com pany of eastern capitalists with the intention of making it a public park. This scheme fell through when the cabin in which Lincoln was born was carried to Central park, in New York city. The place was uncared for and has gradually gone down until its value is nat more than enough to meet the taxes paid on it. ————— ] Late President Harrison Skefched.
