LONDON LAUDS OUR NEGRO POET.
Paul Dunbar Is Welcomed for His Liter‘
ary Merits.
A London letter says that Paul
Dunbar, the American negro poet,
has captured that city. He has
been received with marked attention
by good society, and he is in big de-
mand in the most fashionable drawing
r‘oo-ms. No color line is- drawn in Eng-
land, and the talented American IS
mrch sought after. He reads his
verses at receptions, garden parties
and other entertainments, and he has
received the most favorable criticism
from the press. ‘ Mr. Dunbar came to
PAT} L LATVREN CE DUNBAR.
London well recommended by W. D.
Howells and other American literary
lights well known to the British pub-
lic. His humble origin and the story
of his self culture, struggles and final
triumph have won him a peculiar re-
gard here, where the negro slave and
the prejudices against him and his
decendants have never existed. His
mission promises to be all that he
hopes it to be.
DSAPPEARING LIKE THE BUFFALO.
Indian Languages \Vill Soon Be Heard
Only on the Phouograph.
“Like the buffalo, the Indian lan-
guage will soon be lost forever,” ex-
plained a gentleman who, under the
auspices of the Smithsonian, has de-
voted a number of years to the study
and preservation of the Indian lan-
guage. “It was thought that the In-
dian language could be preserved by
the aid of the phonograph or graphe-
phone, and parties were sent out to
. many Indian tribes to have them talk
‘speak pure Cherokee.
into the apparatus, and thus secure a
record of the Indian tongue.
“It was found, however, that but few
Endians of the present day, and they
Were the older ones, could talk a pure
tongue. More than one-half of the In-
dians now on the reservations, and
this is the case with all of the young-
er Indians, converse in English. It is
not good English, but it is the kind
they speak—a kind of pigeon English.
I had the work of securing some Cher-
okee talk, and in doing so talked with
a. dozen or more leading Cherokees.
“They admitted to me that they did
not know one Cherokee who could
They said it
Was with the greatest difficulty that
they could get the boys and girls to
speak in their native tongue at all, or
:to learn even the commonest words or
phrases. I arranged With a half dozen
Cherokees, however, and secured their
services to talk into the machines, and
have thus got some pretty good Chero-
kee; but I know enough about the
language myself to know that it is
very imperfect Indian.
“A few of the Sioux Indians talk
pretty well, but it is a mixture. In
less than twenty years I do not think
there will be an Indian in this coun-
try who can talk his native tongue
pure. As farvas the Indian children
are concerned they use six English
words where they use one Indian word.
The machines of the day will record
the language, if it is talked into them,
but the difiiculty is to get Indians who
can talk with the necessary degree of
accuracy.”——Washington Evening Star.

wornout fields. Chattanooga was —
lapidated village. Atlanta still s-, n
the ashes of the war. Florida was al-
most as much er a wilderness as in the
days of Spanish rule. Texas had made
no impression upon the world’s mar-
kets as a ecttou producer. The States
of Louisiani, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas were in poverty and despair, be-
cause of the miseries of the reconstruc-
tion period. The coal and iron mines
of Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia
were practically undiscovered and un-
opened. There was no serious compe-
tition by any Southern port with New
York and Boston for the export and
import trade. With a single exception
there was not one great railroad sys—
item in the South, and that did not
touch the southeastern part.
Twenty years ago the manufacture
of cotton in the South was wholly an
infant industry, and cities now known
as textile-working centres were mere
trading posts at the cross roads. The
fruit and vegetable business of Florida
" was so small as to attract little atten—
fion, while the fruit and melon busi-
ness of Georgia did not exist at all.
Southern farmers then bought their
corn and meats instead of raising them
as they do now, and the cotton crop
of Georgia, notwithstanding the come
paratively low prices and notwith—
standing the cities havc absorbed so
much of the rural population is twice
as large as it was then—Macon Tele-

The hands that rocks the cradle
Doesn‘t rule the world to-day.

In the ancient simple way!
Now the hand that rule this planet
As it; whirls among the stars
Are the ones that rest upon and
Guide the graceful handlebars.

Here’s what one of them says, only
one, but remember, there are others:
Mrs. A. M. Bedford,27 Stuart avenue,
Norwalk, says: “Several members of
my family have used the California Ca-
tarrh Ctlre,which was obtained at Plais-
ted’s drug store, and we all think that
it is a fine medicine. I find it very
good to clear the head, and my daugh-
ter Grace has found it is invaluable in
curing headaches, from which she has
suffered for a long time, never having
found anything that benefited her as
My husband has also
used it for catarrh in the head and
throat, and we are all willing to speak
a good word for C. C. 0., for we know
it is good. ”

the status of what is known as the
‘half—millior. fund." subscribed for the
two great Sajtist mission societies. He
said: "At the close of the fiscal year.
on March 31 last. the combined debt of
the two societies was $486,000. Mr.
{ockefeller offered to give $250,000 on
condition that the remainder be raised
by October 1. The entire amount was
pledged some time ago, however, and
Mr. Rockefeller has already paid the
$250,000. On September 15 the sum of
$374,980 had been received in cash. We
expect to get the rest very shortly."

the accusation of inconsistency made
against him for condemning the com

“In 1880 we tried to make the concert
act and we failed and went on with

sired as a mode of action in the East.
