SATURDAY OCT. 24, 1903. We wish to impeess upou the

colored business men and the citizens general, the fact that the filth annual session of the National Negro Business League will convene in Indianapolis next year. It is not a bit too early to start the plans for receiving and entertain our guests. The various organizations of the city and state should consider ways and means for this gieat and representative body. Indianapolis is no mean city and its lep utation as a convention city-is world wide. We the Negroes ot ihe state show their mettle in this matter. Mr. Heniy Saudeis, the president of the local business

Vote selling and vote-buying in Indiana must cease, The manhood of the Negro must be a deterrent even against the appearance of such an evil. The honest aod intelligent colored man must use every effort to put the vot-seller in his class He is a menace to racial ad. vancement.

Colored Player Resigns. CRAW FORDS VILLE, Ind-, Oct. 19. —Actuated by a purely unselfish motive, a desire to avoid trouble and a spirit of loyalty to his school, Gordon the big colored guard on the Wabash College foot-bali team, resigned to night, “I haye been thinking of this step ever pince the first objection made by the Shortridge team, said Goidon, in explanation of his action, "and when Hanover used the pretext of disliking to play against a colored man as an excuse for cancellingSalurday’s game I saw tnat there was going to be trouble here all the rest of the season. I know that if I should have played the boys would have stood by me and I appreciate ii very much. “Rather than cause any more dietrubance I think it best for all concerned that I give up my position on the varsity. I will continue to play ou Ihe second team, however and help the boys all i can in that way. There was great regret ou the part of all the team and students on learn ing of Gordon’sactirn, but the position he took is aphreciated by all,

The programs rendered have always given entire satisfaction but perhaps none have been more enjoyed than the program furnished by the Christian church choir at which time Rev. Herod delivered in his own inimitable way a powerful address entitled “I am do ; ng a good work why should I comedown.” And the musical concert given by Allen Chapel choir last Sunday at which time Mr. Ju.ius Cox was the speaker of the evening subject “Of what use is Christianity'* The choir from the Second Baptist church will furnisn the program fer Sunday.

Invitations to the second annual conterence of the Inter-state League ot Independent Colored Voters which meets in Cleveland, O., Oct, 26 and 27, have been sentout. The work of the league is confined to states of Michigan, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, acid the movement is expected to make the Negro vote a potent factor in American politics. The one great trouble with racial political organizations is that the leaders are too often actuafed by a de*ire to hold cffics as againt the welfare of the race. An again we seriously doubt the wisdom of such a move when it is a patent fact that the attitude of the Democraiic party is decidedly against the politicrl suffrage ot the Negro. Par. ties attract citizens by their declaration of principles. Cifizens bound together, do not draw parties ex^ cept along mercenary lines. We shall a wait with interest ,»he result of the conference.

The contractor stuck to the Italians and put a lot of black men to with them. The Italians did not like this and struck. At last account the black men were holding down the job. What a fool thing race prejudice is.

Wasbin^tou Timet, There has been more or less concern among church authorities over ihe alleged falling off in church attendance, especially among the working classes; though of this defection are contradicted quite as vigorously as they are made. There is one certain thing, however, which can be proved in this connectiotion, that many working people stay a ay from church because they cannot afford the continual expense of church membership and are too self-ful tc be paupers. It seems hs if something might be done tg remedy this condition of things. it is, of course, easy *.o see that without some income the church cannot exist; but there is question how much the various socit-l undertakings of the church, for which money must be spent, aye of real spiritual benefit. In this city, for example, t he young e'erk op saleswoman, becoming a regular attendant at church, is asked to pay rent fur a sitting; to become a member of three or four different societies each <:f which has its due?; to contribute when the contribution box gce« around; to give sc mething to t be Su«J day-school, and to take more or less active part in the doing of the varicus young people’s socities, all of which take time. It is absolutt ly impossible to go ty church regurly in any 1 irge city wi-thout bring continually bombarded with these rtxuests, for the efficiency ot the cfficers of many of these societies is measured by iheir persistence in soliciting money Young people on limited salaries, or married folk on limited income?, are not in need of half these complicated! ministrations. They would enjoy coming to church every Sunday, bearing a good sermon, becoming acquainted with some of the church members aod having a pastor to come to them in case of sorrow of illness, (or this they could and would pay a certain sum, projortioned 10 their incomes, if, in addition to thi?, tie members of the church w*uld take time to become acquainted with them in a simple and natural way, inviting them to their homes, a real social life, not the sham society of the organized religious gathering,'would ccme into being among those suited by education, taste and incomes to enjoy each other’s doings. But as it is the machinery of the church takes up so much time, thought and money, the people with real desire to Jo their fe), low beings good have “so many calls on their time.” as they would say that they are, in short, spread out so thin over the whole community that the actual good done in auy oue place is possibly slight. When it cOmes to pass that people stay away from tUe church because they cannot afford meet its demands, and cannot go without feeling like paupers, it is a sign that the church is suffering from that disease known as overorganization; and the disease is epidemic ia this country at the present time.

AN OBSTINATE MAJOR.

He Had His Way Even After He Was In His Coffin. j Many amusing stories are told of the great formalitj' blended with a humorous brusqueness and independence which characterized early Revolution ary days. An incident of camp life is related by the author of “Romance and Rea'ism of the Southern Gulf Coast.” In 1798 the first United States troops that came down the Mississippi were quartered at Fort Adams. General Wilkinson, Colonel Hamtrarack, Major Butler, Captain Green and other officers were merry over their punch one night, and the general, by some accident, got his cue burned off. Angry at the laugh which followed his mishap. he next day issued an order forbiddiyg any officer to appear with a cue. Obedient to orders, all the officers but -Major Butler cut off their cues. “The vain old prig!” said the major. “I’ll see him hanged before I cut off my cue to gratify him!” And he boldly appeared without changing the style of his hairdressing. The major was put under arrest, but he declared obstinately that he would spend the restiof his life in prison before he would (Comply with such a silly command. Soon afterward he was taken very ill, and, realizing that he was at the point of death, he gave instructions for his burial, which be knew would be witnessed by the whole command. “Bore a hole,” said he, “through the bottom of my coffin, right under my head, and let my cue come through it, that the old general may see that even when dead I refuse to obey his order.” And thes^ direction were literally •arriod out.

The Change ofl a Letter. At the period when British Columbia was threatening to withdraw from the .Dominion of Canada because the Carnarvon settlement had been ignored by the Mackenzie administration the late Lord Dufferin took part in a public function in Quebec. While the procession was moving through the principal streets a gentleman, breathless with, excitement, hurried up to his excel-1 leney’s carriage to say a “rebel” arch had been placed across the road so as; to identify the viceroy with the ap-J proval of the disloyal inscription there-! on. “Cuji you tell me what words; there are on the areh?~ quietly asked: Dufferin. "Oh, yes,” replied his in-; formant; “they are ’Carnarvon Terms or Separation.’ ” “Send the committee; to me.” commanded his excellency.: “Now, gentlemen,” said he, with a smile to the committee, "I’ll go under your beautiful arch on one condition. I won’t ask you to do much, and I beg but a trifling favor. I merely ask that 1 you alter one letter in your motto. Turn the S into an R—make It ‘Car-! narvon Terms or Reparation’—and 1 will gladly pass under it.” The committee yielded, and eventually Dufferin contrived to smooth over the difficulties and to reconcile the malcontents.

Quinine. Quinine was first introduced into Europe by the wife of a Spaniard who was viceroy of Peru. Then Jesuits carried it to Rome and throughout j Spain and Italy, proclaiming it an in-! fallible remedy for all ills and selling It to the rich at unheard of prices. An Englishman at last got hold of some of the quinine powder, cured Charles II. of a tertian fever and on the strength of It was appointed court physician and granted a knighthood. Later he» similarly cured the dauphin of France and induced Louis XIV. to purchase his “secret.” Still the medical faculty fought against quinine. Not even the patent efficacy of the thing could overcome the fact that it was introduced by one not of themselves. For many years the contest waged. Men faithful to the faculty died for want of quinine. Others, not caring a snap for the associated pedants, took their quinine and lived to see their children’s children congratulate the medical schools of their day on climbing down and ad- ! mitting that quinine was a good thing.

A Danger Signal. A pair of frightened horses were dashing madly down the street The coachman was sawing at the reins, and the carriage was swaying from side to side in a dangerous fashion. The occupants of the vehicle, an elderly woman, noted for' her extreme parsimoniousness. and her pretty niece, gave no outward signs of fear, but just as the borse§ came to a standstill the younger woman unexpectedly fainted. “I wasn’t frightened a bit," she explained after, “until, just a? we round-, ed that last corner with three wheels in the air. Aunt Caroline exclaimed. ‘I’d give a dollar to be out of this!’ I knew thecase must be serious if Aunt Caroline was beginning to risk dollars in that fashion.”

Spottinnr Llslit Finsered Gentry. A policeman on the lookout for pickpockets in a crowd does not watch hands, but faces. If a person in the crowd is paying no attention to the common center of attraction, but is engaged in viewing bis neighbors’ clothing, that person, he knows, is apt to be a pickpocket. The suspicion may be strengthened by the nervous or cautious way in which the thief occasionally turns his head, presumably to ascertain if he is watched. Pickpockets never wear gloves and seldom work Ini the street in cold weather, for the cold numbs tbeir fingers.—New York Press.

Tremendona Rainfall. The annual rainfall ou the Khasia hills, to the northeast of Calcutta, amounts to some GOO inches, 500 inches of which fall in seven months during the southwest monsoon. It is undoubtedly the wettest spot ou the globe. As many as 150 inches have been registered in five consecutive days, or an average of thirty inches a day. This astonishing amount is due to the abruptness of the mountains which face the bay of Bengal, from which they are separated by 200 miles of low swamps and marshes-.

As* Averages. Here is an estimate of the average age attained by men in various Euro-; pean countries: Norway and Sweden; head the list with fifty years. Then) come England with forty-five and one-| half years; France, forty-four and onehalf; Prussia, thirty-nine; Wurttemberg. thirty-eight; Bavaria and other parts of Germany, thirty-six. In Austria and Spain the inhabitants have the shortest lives, the average age being only thirty-three. Not Her Fault. “Your daughter,” said Mrs. Oldcastle, “has such verve. She fairly bubbles over with high spirits.” “I know it. She gets it from .Tosiah’s side of the house, though. My folks are all strong temperance people.”— Chicago Record-Herald.

All WHl Be Discovered. Barnes Tormer—I am in a quandary. I have been offered an engagement by two managers, and I don’t know how to act. Sue Brette—Well, don’t worry. They’ll soon find It out.

A Mean Snjrsrestlon. Photographer’s Assistant—Mrs. Van Perkins complains that her portraits don’t look like her. Photographer—Complains, does she?| She ought to be grateful.
