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. No. 42 6.45 a. m. No. 18 10.00 a. m.

The readiness with which negroes- and white people also—will sometimes confess to a crltno which it later devel ops they did not commit, is well recog nised by' thoso familiar with criminal court procedure. The lntoBt instance ,is a Valdosta nogro woman who, accused of tho theft of $50, admitted tho charge and repaid the money, Later tho origi nal $50 was found, and tho Woman’s in nocence established beyond doubt, .lust why she should lmvo confcssod in tho first instnneo is hard to understand, but her mottvo for paying- over tho money 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. v. Lot a man mnke a mistake in.conver sation-, or even in a lottor, and you pay little attention to it. But lot the same unmake, in print. And yot, considering sticks out liko a sore thumb—it Booms tQ-'stnnd right out nbovo everything Oise in the paper, Wo’ll venture-to say there afe not half a dozen citizens who havo the leust idea of the vast' number of niotnl piecpB contained in a single col umn of a newspaper. There are several thousand to onch column, and thV dis placement of a slnglo ono means rfri orror. When this is considered you g’et a pretty fair idoa of how ousy it is to make « mistake in ; print. , And yot, considering that there are more chances for making a mistake on a single pnge of a news paper’than there is in writing a hundred letters, the newspaper probably contains fewer errors than any othei^form of written or printed commumcntlon.- Buena Vista Patriot.

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. '/r THE U. S.

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.— Jackson Progress. o— Good taste is a merchantable commod ity.
