HE 18 ARRESTED IN COMPANY WITE TWO MEN OF DOUBTFUL CHARACTER. Joseph Campbell and Thomas Hendricks, young men, and Frank Wesley, a fifteen-year- old boy, were arraigned in the Police Court this morning, charged with being suspicious persons, and Hendricks was also charged with carrying a blackjack. He pleaded guilty to the latter charge. but they all denied that they were vagrants, Lieutenant Amiss, Dectective Horne and Officer Board- man gave testimony against them. They were arrested in Kernan’s theater as a per- sons. From what the officers could learn itap- peared that Campbell and Hendricks were going to use the boy to climb through tran- soms. One of them claimed to have come from Wilmington while the other named Balti- more as his home. When asked in court whether ae, desired to make a statement or not they replied in the negative, but the judge was not satisfied with what he had learned of the boy and he was eee questioned. The boy said that Wesley was his right name, but that he sometimes went under the name of his step-father, Fred Wolfe. The latter, he said, lives in Apollo, near Pittsburg. Four months ago, he said, he left home because his father ill- treated him. A couple of days ago he was ar- rested in Towsontown, Md., with Arthur Yeat- man, for trying to beata freightto Wilmington. Yeatman got him out,.and he came here on a freight train. On the train he met his present companions, and last night they took him to the theater. The judge said that this case shows the necessity ofa house of detention. This boy's mother, he thought, was probably anxious to see her missing child. The boy said he was fifteen years old, and the judge sen- tenced him to the reform school. “ His com- panions were required to give bonds or go down forthree months, and Hendricks was fined $20 or 60 days additional for carrying the blackjack, ee Notes From Anacostia, D.

HE OBJECTS TO TALK ABOUT THE “NEGRO PROB- LEM” IN THE SOUTH. At the emancipation celebration in Phila- delphia yesterday addresses were made by Fred Douglass, Rev. Dr. B. F. Lee, ex-presi- dent of Wilberforce university; Rev. R. J. Allan, secretary of the Freedmen’s board of the Presbyterian general assembly; Bishop Foss, and others, Bishop Foss said that the creature who was not thought a man forty years ago now managed to read Greek and Hebrew and struggle along with metaphysics and mathematics as well as his white brethren. Fred Douglass, in his speech, said: “I object to this problem being called the ‘negro prob- lem,” because it does not state what I esteem to be true. I object because it creates a false im- ression. I deny that there is sucha thing efore the American people as a negro prob- lem; it isa national question. To call ita negro problem is to imply that there is some- thing wanting in the negro; that he is inferior, ignorant. or brutal. I object to this thought- less misuse of words, which is much in vogue now. We hear every day of ‘negro riots,’ ‘negro brutality.’ Now, it makes no difference how the matter originated, if there is a negro in it, it isa ‘negro difficulty.’ But we should look upon the bright side of the question. I fully understand and appreciate the great change during the last twenty-five years, I feel asif I were in a new world. It seems as though the sun doesn’t come up in the same place. But when we talk of what has been done we should also talk of what 1s to be done, The whole question is whether the American [ae Poa in this nineteenth century of Christian civilization, have the honor to adjust the action of the nation to the fundamental prin- ciples of the constitution of the United States —whether this nation is to walk up and keep to its boasted freedom, or whether it is to allow the negro of the south to be defrauded of his vote and be branded as a nation of hypocrites and liars, “The negro has always been faithful to his country; the negro fought for his country. He only asks to be treated as you treat those who fought against you. The negro loves his coun- try. He only asks to be treated as you treat those who hate it. There was never a people emancipated under such unfavorable circum- stances as the negro race. “Notwithstanding the work that has been ac- complished in the last twenty-five years, a slav- ery black and terrible still exists in the south. Some of our republican friends would adopt a conciliatory policy and would take away the proportion of electoral votes in the south rep- resented by the amount of negro voters not allowed to vote. But I do not think that would bea good thing. I am waiting now to see what will done by those who will soon go into ower. Some statesmen are talking a little \ifferent than they did before election. Brother Sherman said before election: ‘We will do so- and-so.’. He now says: ‘You do so-and so.’ I am for the ‘We will do so-and-so’ now.” Caucus Nominations for U.S. Senators. The Colorado republican legislative caucus last night nominated E. O. Walcott to succeed United States Senator Bowen. ‘The joint republican caucus at Au; last night renominated Hon. Wm. Senator by acclamation. At the republican caucus in Lansing, Mich., last night, James McMillen, of Detroit, was nominated by acclamation to succeed Senator Palmer. foe Longevity of the “Grand Army.” From the Boston Transcript. How long the Grand Army of the Republic may survive as a distinct and important organi- zation may be guessed from a glance at the number of Harrison voters of 1840 who voted for President Harrison’s grandson in Novem- ber. In Iowa there was a club of 3,000 of these men, and in Ohio the roll of 1840 Harrison voters reached 6,831. The Iowa members’ names, ages and places of residence, in 1240 as well as in 1888, were published by the Des Moines Register. The ages ranged from sixty- nine to ninety-seven. Allowing for the fact that the soldier discharged in 1565 might have been but —— years old, while the voter of 1840 must have been twenty-one, it appears that the presidential election of 1916 will bear about the same relation to the Grand Army veterans that the election of 1888 bore to the voters for William Henry Harrison. But after that distant year the ‘soldier vote”—unless we have some more wars in the meantime— will have ceased to bea terror to the politi- cians. ——____+e+ _____ Osman Anxious Azovt His Wives.—A de- serter from the rebels, who has reached Sua- kim, says that Osman Digna tried to send the members of his harem to Suakim, apparently fearing trouble with the dervishes, and that Arab scouts stopped the women and sent them back to Handoub. The dervishes, the deserter says, have become suspicious and accuse Osman of treachery. Scouts mounted on camels and sta, Me., . Frye for 4 i f HEY i FE A CHILD’S EARLY EDUCATION. Sensations and Feelings that Influence the Future Life of an Infant. We take little note of the education which goes on in a child’s mind during the first years of his life, writes Principal James Donaldson, in the Forum, Indeed, we take little note al- together of what we may call unconscious edu- cation, and the unconscious action of the mind. I walked the other day along a crowded hpylce- ar gpreary afew eee I counted @ ped] at passed me. There were up- ware oft three hundred. Each one of these in- dividuals I noted. I ized, at least. parts of their attire. I saw the features of their faces, their mouths, noses, their eyes. In moving along I noticed the stones of the vement on which I was walking. I avoided e lamp-posts; I observed the houses an shops, and, indeed, a wide rai of objects came within my view. It would be difficult to say how many things, and thoughts connected with these things, d before my mind dur- ing this short , but at least there were many thousands, these objects and thoughts, there is rea- son to believe, found permanent place in my memory, produced a certain effect on me, and became, as it were, a portion of myself, but not one of these can I recall. They were all for a single moment on the surface of consciousness, and sank forever into the deeper and wider abysses of unconsciousness. they give some color to my whole life. So it is with the infant. He sees and hears and feels thousands of things during the period of his in- fancy. These sensations and feelings have an incaiculable influence on his future powers and character. And it is here at the commence- ment that we may expect an indefinite im- provement in the future of mankind, through an improvement in the unconscious influences that work on the child. It has often been observed that children have nearly all finely developed foreheads, and no one who takes an interest in children can have failed to be struck with the exquisite beauty that characterizes very many children of the humblest classes who are brought up in healthy places. In fact, a sad degeneration takes place in the looks of the humbler classes as the child grows to boyhood and the boy to manhood and old age. And the question occurs: Might not this degeneration be arrested? Surely this is possible toa largeextent. Everything depends on the treatment of the child in his earliest years and on the character of the persons with whom he comes in contact. soe Didn’t Believe in Signs. From the Boston Transcript. “Are you superstitious?” asked Brown of Tapely, the proprietor of a big dry-goods es- tablishment, ‘‘In other words, do you believe in signs?” Tapely—‘‘No, sir, I don’t.—Mr. Catchem, have a notice put out that we are selling our winter dress-goods at less than cost.—As I was about to say, sir, I do not believe in signs. They are ail’ humbugs and nonsense, sir.” ———eo__— A Wronged Husband’s Revenge. HE FATALLY STABS AND CUTS HIS WIFE'S LOVER. Aspecial to the Baltimore American from Berlin, Worcester county, Md., says: “It has just been made public that on Thursday last Jas. M. Henry, a wealthy young farmer living near this place, caught his wite in the woods near his house with Edward Bowen, a hard- ware merchant of Berlin. A fight ensued, in which Bowen was getting the best of it until Henry drew a knife and stabbed his opponent twelve times, inflicting serious if not fatal in- juries, Mrs. Henry at once left and is supposed to have gone to her relatives in Philadelphia.

There are over a million girls in England who are not likely to get married. In order to remedy this state of things I would suggest that the girls should be allowed to propose— in fact, that the courting and proposing should henceforward be a business appertaining alike to both sexes. There area number of young men who are shy. They have a vague and general idea of marrying, yet cannot screw up their courage to the sticking point. These, were the road to matrimony made easy to them, would succumb. If, in addition to this, bwelacire would have the sense to leave to their ughters the same amount as to their sons, and would let their intentions in this respect be known, they would speedily reduce the ees of girls at present condemned to single le. i Too Much Business Kills Them. From the San Francisco Examiner. “There is only one temperance town in Ari- zona,” said a recent arrival from that territory. “Have you never had any saloons there?” inguired a bystander, “Plenty of ’em.” “Didn't they do any business?” “Too much business, That's what killed "em." “How was that?” ell, you see, Arroyo Grande is right astride of the Mexican line. We go to a saloon on the American side of the town, put down a dollar and get a drink anda Mexican dollar in change. Then we go back to the Mexican side, plank down the Mexican dollar and get a cigar and an American dollar in change. That's the way we keep things going’ until the saloon freeze out.” —e — Unpublished Lines by Longfellow. From Hyde Park News.. One time when a friend of Longfellow named Mr. Greene was visiting this great poet the children were to have a little play, but had no prologue. When Mr. Longfellow heard this he said: “What! No prologue! We must get a pro- logue in some way. I will write one for you myself.” And he sat down and wrote a few lines for the children. One of the little girls who took part in the play gave a copy of this little poem to Ee Helen E, Starrett, of Kenwood.

Charles Pommer, @elegate of the Journeymen Brewer's union, says he was visited by Eck. a barkeeper, who stated that he learned through overhearing a conversation between Congressman Ashbel Fitch, attorney of the Boss Brewers’ associ tion. and Detective Von Gerichtel, that Pom- mer could make $1,500 for his assistance in raising the boycott. Eck told him that fifteen delegates had agreed to vote this way. The Philadelphia Times says ex-United States Senator Conover will leave that city next week for Florida, where he will resume the practice of his profession, the medical. Lewis Horner, the Chi man who embez- zled $15,000 of his employer's money, has promised to return from Montreal.

From the American Agriculturist for January. Nobody has thought of this southern country (Buenos Ayres) as one from which there may spring a rival in wheat growing effort that may effect the market of the United Siates, Asa matter of fact the thing is accom: ed, and from the district where I write wheat in grain and in flour is already starting its remunera- tive journey from the pampas, and has brought back its value from Brazil, Chili and the Latin states of Europe. Encouraged by these results, the area of planting is increasing. The acreage of the increase, asa fact, is pitiful, and the amount of land under cultivation is to the Yankee mind contemptible; but the of wheat are greater an those Minnesota knew in 1860, or Dakota and | her sister territories enjoy to-day. A climate that knows no frost, a soil virgin to the plow but enriched by centuries of grasses blown into the land and fertilized by innumer- able cattle, whose movement over its area h known generations of death as well as the con- tribution of their life, has made a land fit for the gardener’s spade. Its generic character is, of course, alluvial, but time beyond memory | this land east of the Andes has known no curse except that of man, whose misuse of its offer- | ings has brought forth a race whose character, | until within ten years, has been that of non- | producers, hopeful from the efforts of every | enterprise except their own, speculative upon any foreign energy, and ready and anxious to enjoy the fruits of every industry so long as | they could profit by either, or hold the harvest reaped where they had not planted, and gar- nered whence they had not sown, Let me give some practical illustrations of values here. Iwent to visit an ‘estancia” (ranch) of twelve e = of land (a league is nearly 6,000 acres). Iwas met at the railway station on a cold winter's morning in July by jafonr-in-hand. The driver was a peon; the vehicle one under which the two forward wheels turned easily, and its body behind the seats was covered with the home-dressed hides ot horses. Its seats were cushioned with pad- ded horsehides. the harnesses were raw horse- hide, the whip was braided horsehide, and the pace wasarun; no trotting horse is known. Over the pampas, 32 miles in 100 minutes, the only skill of the coachmen called upon was to avoid the cattle wallows. It was a pace for ex- perience, Arriving at the estancia the horses were brought up all standing, the harness dragged off and the animals sent adrift on the pampas, I asked the superintendent of the farm what became of those horses, “I don't know.” he replied. “What are they worth?” “About three nationals each.” (A national is a dollar; in the present depreciated condition of currency, about 57 cents.) That afternoon, with a new four, the superintendent and I were driving and came up with some peons skinning a dead but still steaming horse. An inquiry revealed that it was one of the four that galloped thirty-two miles in the morning. “I knew the driving was too hard.” I said “the horse was killed.” “Why, bless your in- nocent heart,” said the superintendent, ‘we shoot fifty or sixty horses or mares a week. To-morrow I will show you a ‘round up.’” And he did; and they killed 74 horses, took their hides, boiled down their fat, stripped the hair trom their manes and tails, and counted it profit and left the carcasses on the pampas forthe waiting scavenger of South America, the condor. What is that Carlyle says about the stored-up energy which constitutes a na- tion’s wealth? There was a lot of energy re- leased that day It must seem incredible to our Yankee and rairie farmers that horses could be so_ used, ut it is a calm fact that more than 700.000 were slaughtered in the Argentine Republic last year, as shown by the raw hides sold in market. Horses grow wild, and worse horses it is impossible to conceive. A horse is cheaper than a coat—I mean a horse broken to ride or drive, Beggars (and in this country there are many) ride from house to house to solicit alms, and refuse a horse from analmoner from whom they expect a richer gift, for a horse is the cheapest thing he can give. Judged by our ideas of economy, this all seems mad extravagance. They excuse it in ways not satisfactory to me, for it is extrava- gance, say what they will. No distance of mar- et can compensate for the waste of pure strength easily realized upon, in a land where a premium of $30 per capita is paid for every immigrant, howsoever poor.who comes to settle and work. Bad as the horses are, one of them is worth any four immigrants I saw of this class out of 10,000 landing in Buenos Ayres in “s —— Tricked by a Colored Man. TWELVE WHITE MEN PUT UP THEIR MONEY BUT GOT NO WILDCAT WHISKY. A dispatch in the New York Sun from Hart- selle, Ala., Jan. 1. says: “The lovers of good whisky at Christmas times on West Flint river, Ala., had a smart trick played on them Christ- mas week. A strange negro made his appear- ance among the West Flinters and told them he was employed by a ‘wildcat’ stiller to sell wildcat whisky, and if they would get him * club of twelve or more he would fill a gallon jug for $1 each. Forthwith one of the Vest Flinters was appointed to get up the club of twelve. The darky told them to meet him on Monday at 1 o'clock at the first big hollow on the south side of West Flint, just above the Decatur road bridge, and to bring along their jugs and he would fill them. At the appointed time a dozen or so _men with as many jugs were on hend; so was the negro. He told them to each pay over his dollar, and then he would take the jugs and go down the hollow, and when they heard him whistle to come on, as he would fill the jugs an‘ set them down where he whistled, and step off a step 80 that if he was brought into court they could not swear he served the whisky. As this seemed all right, the money was paid over and the negro went off with the jugs down the hollow. Ina short time a whistle was heard. and all made a rush for the merry Christmas whisky. Soon the jugs were reached, but a howl went up from that crowd. Not a drop was in any of the jugs. A search was made for the negro, but no negro could be found. ain Renae All the flour mills in St. Louis excepting one closed down yesterday under the agreement entered into by the millers’ association. Under this agreement 250 mills in the fall wheat belt will either close down or run on half time dur- ing January. Walter A. Jones, one of the proprietors of the Jones car works, of West Troy, N.
