NORTHBOUND l
Figures for the now census tllseioso
the fnct thut. New York now tins within
its bortlors the lurgest negro colony of
any city in tho world. This hus nil como
about within the last fifteen years, begin
ning with a - negro sottlemeut in Harlom
su.ys the New York Sun.
A certain man owned a tenement house
in West 184th street, near Fifth nveiiuo.
Ho wanted to raise money, and he told
the owners and residents of the block
that if he did not get his price for tho
house lie would fill it with colored peo
ple. This occurred n little more than
fifteen yoars ago. Tho people got to
gether and subscribed all thoy could af
ford, but tho total was not within $4,000
of what he sought; so a few weeks later
the house was filled witli negroes, who
were only too glad to got sucli a home.
In less than six months all tho liofises
on one side "of that block were filled with
negroes. Thus the colony grew by loapB
and bounds.
The estimated population of the colony
at present is 140,000. It iB bounded on
tho south by 134th street, on the east by
.the Harlem river, on the west by Eighth
avenue, mid on the north by 156th street.
The property holdings of negroes in
this soction amount to upward of $100,-
000,000. There are some thirty churches
and moro than fifty missions in the col
ony. St. Philip’s Protestant Episcopal
church in 184th street is now recognised
as the richest negro church in-the world.
It has a membership of 4,000, and prac
tically every dollar of its income is con
tributed by colored people. Tho rector,
the Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, lias been
connected with the church thirty-five
yoare. Tho present edifice was built a
few Vears ago at a cost of $800,000/
The interior of the church is one of tho
finest in the city.
St. Philip’s is affiliated with the Trin
ity corporation, and its real estate hold
ings in the negrof colony run into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Several
new churches afe in course of construc
tion. There is a Movariail church in
West 136th street, with a membership
exceeding 1,000.
There are four men in tiie colony who
are said to be worth a million each, and
several whose fortunes are over a hum
dred thousand each.
Mary Walker, who died recently in her
palatial home at Irvington-on-tho-Hud-
son, was the richest colored woman in’ the
world.' The house she lived in at Irving
ton cost a quarter of a million dollars.
The interior contains.'some rare gums of
art. Some of the panels in the main
foyer yore painted by famous artists.at
a cost approaching the fabulous. She
had a .pipe organ built in the walls of
the main entrance surrounding the stair
way, and all finished in gold. Organists
who have'played the instrument say that
it is one of the finest in the country.
Mary Walker began as a laundress
some twenty years ago in the West. She
saved her money and settled in Indian
apolis. She conceived the idea of selling
preparations to take the kink out of the
hair and- to beautify the skin. She be.
gan by peddling her preparations from
door to door among her people, and
gradually built up a substantial trade.
In a few years she established tu-largo
factory in Indianapols, where her prep
orations were made exclusively. At the
time of her death the factory employed
l,(J00 hands. When the colored colony
began to assume proportions in Harlem
Bhe come to this 'city and settled. Her
fortune and residence at Irvington were
inherited by her daughter. Many of the
influential white people in -Irvington
tried to buy the house.
' It is estimated that the savings bank
holdings of the colored people of the sec
tion will foot up $30,000,000. The growth
of the colony hah been so rapid that the
Wage Earners’ Bank, a rich corporation
of Savannah, Ga.,'has purchased a large
lot of ground at the southeast corner of
135th street and Seventh avenue, where
it will erect a large bank building; then
Olias. H. Anderson, a wealthy negro ban
ker of Jacksonville, Fla., is soon to open
a<bank at 135th street'and Lenox avenue.
TOO MUCH GOLD,
Siivanhnh Proas.
One of our drawbacks nt the present
is tho largo influx of gold into the Uni
ted State's. Tins has been tremendous
for tho last thirteen mouths. A record
wns rebelled on the first of .Tube, when
ovor $3,000,000,000 of gold was ill this
country. Whilo this inflow 1ms helped
to improve the position of the reserve
bunks, it represents a withdrawal of gold
from countries who could help tis if thoy
could afford to pay the high and ovor-
inerdnsinfe rate of exchange in buying
our go'ods. The recent accumulation qf
gold in the country, therefore, is a re
flection' of the insufficient provision of
credos for financing our export trade.
This high price for our currency for
bids the foreigner from buying American
products', just at-the time when the ex
port trade of merchandise would -dralit
tho excess produots now rotting in our
warehouses.
Indeed, tho general situation is that
half the world has its cotton, wool,
wheat, metal and manufacturing prod
uots overcrowding tho warehousorf and
stuggefs under the burden of financing
these stocks whilo the otiier .half is suf
fering from the need of those goods, but
is unable to finance their, purchase. All
aie involved in tile perplexities of an
economic situation sucli as no one before
tfio war could have possibly conceived.
Extraordinary efforts to restore crpdit
are called for In tho near,future. But
it seems' that no heroic roipedy etists
which can work an instant cure.

and repaid the money, Later tho origi
nal $50 was found, and tho Woman’s in

why she should lmvo confcssod in tho

is incomprehensible—Tlfton Gazette.

The editor is popularly supposed to
seo everything, hedr everything and pub
lish everything that is going on. But
sometimes he doesn’t see it—-doesn’t
want to Bee it—because, being ,011 editor
and trained to weigh all angles of every
question,. he knows that it is better for
the community if lie does/ not, sco it.
There are' many things the editor 'does
not publish because they contain no ele
ment of news, are distressing to many
innocent people; nnd their publication
could serve no good purposo. Some
times the editor is criticized for his for
bearance, but at least some of his critics
do not stop to remember that possibly
the paper was just as forbearing regard
ing an incident or two in their own lives.
There are many things to be considered
beforo putting it in cold typo.—Griffin
News.

When this is considered you g’et a pretty
fair idoa of how ousy it is to make «

that there are more chances for making
a mistake on a single pnge of a news

fewer errors than any othei^form of

YOUR WEIGHT IN GOLD.
To say that a man is worth hi$, weight
in gold ‘is not really an extravagant
statement/ when the facts are closely
analyzed. •
The*} are thousands of men whose
capitalized earning power is greater than
the earning power of gold coin of the
same weight as their bodies.
The aualogy has been worked out. by
the editor of The Target, as' follows:
“Take a man' who weighs 150
pounds,” says this editor. “What
rvould ho be worth? He would-be Worth
as much gold as it would take to bal
ance him on a butcher’s scale. That
would be 181.2 pounds—not 150 pounds.
This is because gold is weighed , by troy
weight—5700 grams to the pound,-and
a man is weighed by avoirdupois weight,
in which T/oOO grams are required to make
a pound. Gold today is worth $20.67 a
troy ounce—$248.02 a troy pound. 'So
a man who weighs 182,2 pounds troy or
150 pounds avoirdupois would be worth
$45,192.85, an amount that at 5 per cent
,—a fair rate of interest—would yield
about $2,260 a year, less than $44. a
week.”
Of course, as Salaries go, $44 a week
is high—millions are getting much less
and therefore’ are not literally worth
their weight in gold. But among these
millions are thousands who are not get
ting a proper return on the capital with
which ^Nature endowed him. Instead of
making their brains anil bodies pay
return of 0, 6 or 10 per cent, they are
satisfied with a return of 2 or 3 per cent.
Every man can aspire to he worth his
weight in goiil with a fair chance of
realizing his ambition.

the road is a factor, no other tire tread
yet devised is quite so effoctivo, or so

ion, as the U. S. Nobby Tread,
Its ,very simplicity—three rows of

It is rather in style these days to ob
tain money from the State and Govern
ment for almost every conceivable pur
pose. Many people proceed on the idea
that there is an inexhaustible mint in
the public treasury. As ,a matter . of
fact there is not a cent in the treasury
of the county. State or Government ex-
cfept what the people-themselves pay in
the form of taxes. So when you Bpeak
of tapping the treasury you are simply
digging at the tax-payers. Simple, old-
fashioned economy will* do the country
more good than any other one thing now.
Law-making bodies should be careful
how they appropriate and spend the
public money wrung from the people.—

Perhaps it’s the experience of U. S.
Tire buyers that makes .them more em
phatic in their preference than ever this
year.
When these men ' have tried most
everything by the way of “etaggering
bargains”, “hurrah discounts", “discon
tinued lines at less" and so forth they
know what not to get.
They want a fresh, live tire. With a
good reputation. That’s everything it says
it is. With thie people behind it who
back it up.

Your local U. S, Dealer is drawing
