HERE’S A PRETTY HOWDY DO
The New Railroad Rate Bill Will Open Parlor, Dining
Room and Sleeping Cars to Negroes. .
(Special to The Dawson News.)
washington, Oet. 29.—Southern
pegroes Who aspire to social equali
tv with the whites are evidently de
ermined to obtain a decision from
me interstate commerce commission
,s to whether the enforcement of
e Hepburn railroad rate law will
qot abolish “Jim Crow” cars on in
oretate railroad trains and open up
A arlor cars, sleeping cars and din
ine cars to interstate negro passen
cers all over the south. ™
Two communications on this sub
ject have already been received.
The first was a letter from a Chat
v lanooga negro calling on the com
. pission to enforce the Hepburn law
4o as to do away with “Jim Crow”
~ cars, and alleging that the separa
tion of the races on interstate trains
i« such a disecrimination as is made
illegal by the Hepburn law. The
second was more specific and was in
the form of a petition signed by ne
oro residents of Mississippi, South
Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Ten
nessee and Georgia. It says: “Un
der present conditions colored inter
state passengers are denied equal
privileges with white passengers.
THE KEEPER OF A NEW YORK
700 WAS BITTEN BY A BOA.
The Snake's Tooth Entered His Left
Thumb and Came Out of His
Right Thumb. :
A New York dispatch says that
Donald Burns, keeper of the bird
house in the Central Park ‘‘Zoo,” be
ing 55 years of age, naturally has
experienced the loss of a few teeth,
with regret, but there was no sor
row in the going of the one he got
rid of the other day. It was a
snake's tooth, three-eights of an
inch in length, which he had been
carrying around in his: body for
many years without knowing it.
Burns was Dbitten on the left
thumb by a boa constrictor twenty
vears ago. While he was attending
to his work this week he expe
rienced a sharp pain in his right
thumb. There was a small lump on
the inside of the thumb, with a
point protruding. A little incision
brought to ™ light a plece of the
snake's fang. It had been circulat
ing around in the man’s body, and
was polished smooth by the friction
it had encountered in its journey.
For a time Burns couldn’t think
what the little piece of ivory might
be, but before long the story came

’Colored bassengers are compelled by
the railroads to ride in what are
commonly known as ‘Jim Crow’
cars, which are usually filthy and
uncomfortable, and are denied also
the right to eat in railroad dining
cars and occupy berths in sleeping
cars because of their color. This
is a violation of the Hepburn rail
road rate law, which was passed by
almost a unanimous vote of repub
licans and democrats in congress,
and which vests your body with
power to force equality of treat
ment.”’
Many lawyers who have studied
the Hepburn law are of the opinion
that the commission must hold that
it makes the separation of the races
on interstate trains illegal, and that
the commission must render a de
cision that will open all parlor cars,
sleeping cars, and dining cars to all
negroes willing to pay for accommo
dations in them. Such a decision
will make conditions of railway
travel in the south suéh that white
men will be afraid to allow the wo
men of their families to travel alone,
especially in sleeping cars, where a
white woman might have a berth
under one occupied by a negro man.

Away back in the ‘eighties”
Burns owned an animal store. One
day a box of boa constrictors from
‘South America arrived. Burns open
‘ed the box and put his hand in to
;take them out, when, with a shout
of pain, he suddenly drew it out.
One of the young boas had sunk his
fangs in his right thumb and the
jerk had broken the tooth off in
the wound.
Boas from Brazil are not, as a
rule, poisonous, and aside from the
pain Burns felt no ill effects. The
wound was dressed and all of the
broken fang, it was thought, re
moved. Since then Burns has gone
through many varied phases of life.
He failed in business, went out on
the road with a circus, was in a hos
pital a long time with a broken leg,
and three years ago became a keep
er at the Central Park Zoo. Several
times in the last twenty years Burns
has experienced the feeling of being
pricked with needles in different
parts of his body. It was undoubt

THIS BRIDE’'S WOODEN LEG SAVED A VOTE
Groom Slept With It, and Acquired a Residence for Election Pur
poses. A Side-Light on Cincinnati Politics.
A Cincinnati dispatch says the
Hamilton county board of elections
has solemnly advised Harry Ernstes,
a grqcer, to sleep one night with his
absent bride’s wooden leg in order to
gain a residence for election pur
poses.
Ernstes seems to have lost a
home when he gained a wife in
Oldenburg, Ind., ten days ago. He
is an economical German and in or
der to save expense it has been his
habit to sleep under the counter in
the rear of his grocery.
When he returned with his bride
Oct. 10 he discovered that he had
neglected to provide any home for
her, and since then he has been
sleeping in his old place, while his
bride takes turns sleeping at the
homes of his relatives. -
MRS. GOULD'S SISTER AND HER
CHINK ARE NOT SO LOVING.
Mr. Sun Yue's Daily Income of Two
Dollars Not Enough for Her
Poetical Existence,
It has developed that the founda
tion of the report that Mrs. Sun
Yue, formerly Miss Ella Clemmons,
sister of Mrs. Howard Gould, of New
York—she who was once Katheryn
Clemmons—has grown tired of 'the
Chinese bridegroom whom she ‘‘took
unto herself’” recently is the fact
that Sun’Yue, who is employed as
a bricklayer on the work of the
rehabilitation of San Francisco at $2
a day, has failed to provide from
this daily wage sufficient funds for
a practical, not to say poetical ex
istence. :
Just after this marriage, which,
by the way, is prohibited by the laws
of California and so amazed and
shocked the people of San Francisco,
between the sister of Howard
Gould’s wife and a Chinaman the
bride was very outspoken in expres
sions of belief in a happy future for
herself. She declared that she had
married the Chinaman because she
loved him, and if her friends in San
Francisco would not receive them
they would go to China and spend
the remainder of their days there.
But the romance is apparently at
an end, and it is believed that the
young woman now has nothing but
regret for her action.
Mr. and Mrs. Sun Yue are living
in a tent in what, before the earth
quake and fire, was the heart of
Chinatown, the seene of her mis
sionary labors for years. During the
first weeks of her honeymoon she
was very emphatic in justifying her
act. To an interviewer she said:
“What was more natural than that
[ should become the wife of a Chi
nese? The greater part of my life
has been spent among them. They
are a good, kind people and are much
misunderstood. Ido not know how
people will receive my husband; that
is, I do not know how they will look
upon my heroic step. In case they
are not kind I shall go to China and
there spend the rest of my life.”
Asked how her sister, Mrs. Gould,
and the family of which the latter
has become a member, regarded her
“heroic step,”’ she said that she did
not know, and added:
“My sister and I are very differ
ent. My sister was born to reign.
I was born to do the work I am
doing. I love my sister, but I have
not heard from her in eight years,
and do not think I shall visit her
now.”
“How do you like the notoriety
that has been thrust upon you?”’ was
asked.
“pid you like the earthquake?”
was the meaningful reply.
But Mrs. Sun Yue has found that
it is one thing to be a missionary
among the Chinese and quite an
other to be the wife of one of them.

Where the Real Difficulty Lay.
An editor of a western exchange
recently began worrying how he
would get his shirt on over his wings
after reaching paradise. An envious
contemporary sarcastically observed
that his difficulty would likely be
in finding how he could get his hat
on over his horms.
, The Ohio -election laws provide
that a married man's residence shall
be wherever his wife's is. J
When Ernstes went to register so
he could vote he found that by mar
rying he had lost his old grocery
residence, and since he had not pro
vided his bride with one he had not
gained a new one. His wife's migra
tory spirit prevented her claiming
a relative’s home as hers.
The difficulty was solved when the
board learned that the bride was
blessed with a wooden leg, and ad
vised him that he might register and
vote if he would take the wooden
leg to bed with him in the rear of
his grocery store. A law for certain
cases will, the board thinks, re
quires him to do this only one night
in order to make his old residence
hers and thereby his own again.
MORE VALUABLYX THAN GOLD.
Still the, King Is Increased in Stature
Every Year.
“Cotton is king,” declared James
Henry Hammond on the floor of the
United States senate as far back as
1858. But even that optimistic
statesman did not foresee the time
when, of the world's total produc
tion for its annual output of $2,-
000,000,000 worth of cotton goods,
the United States was to supply
three-fourths.
For the year ending June 30,
1905, America’s cotton exports were
valued at $410,657,752, as against
$410,205,653 for all other agricul
tural exports. In addition, the pros
perous planters sold more than
$200,000,000 worth to feed the 25,-
000,000 spindles of this country.
And still the king is increasing in
stature. During the fiscal year just
ended raw cotton and cotton goods
to the value of $453,000,000 were
exported, while American looms were
busy with an increased quota. All
the gold mined in the world last year
would have paid southern farmers
for only half their crop.
