During that time there were five deaths thirty- three serlous injuries, while the minor ac- cidents ran up into the hundreds. The friends of the game, however, claim that 00) players have rticipated in games during the season, which places the death percentage at 1 in 5 serious injuries were 1 in 748. This perc toge, th zim, is less than yachting, swimming, cycling, other sport In many cases of accidents, such broken ribs and thumbs, the injuries ar not recorded. The number of deaths this year is unusually large, but foot ball is cn the increase, and this will account for the ger percentage of deaths. A peculiar in- ent is noticeable in the list of serious injuries, the number comprising many dif. ferent kinds of mishaps. The list is a follows: Collar bones broken, 3; legs broken, 4; ribs broken, 4; skulls’ fractured, 3; torn ligaments of leg, 3; shoulder bones broken, Nose broken, concussion of the brain, 1”), While the n- shown } hunting and as ruptured kidney, wrist broken, collar bone leg dislocated, dislocated, ankle sprained, / BENSON'S, STAMP ON THE GENUINE "t is the best POROUS PLASTER Stimulates the circulation, dispels tion, arrests Inflammation and cures quicker than any other external application.

Chris Von Der Ahe was re-elected presi- dent of the Sportsman's Park and Base Ball Club of St. Louis Saturday. Mr. Muck- enfuss, the club’s receiver, did not attend the meeting. Henry A. Barmeier resigned from the board and the secretaryship. There were present Edward C. Becker, Charles P. Higgins, John W. Prentington, Henry A. Barmeier, Edward J. Joy and W. A. Kinerk. Becker and Von Der Ahe are the chief creditors of the club. and the fact that they are pulling together indicates that Chris is going to have matters pretty much his own way. Whist at the C. A. C.

Richard, alias “Dickey,” Bates, who is krown to the police as a “second-story and who returned from prison three weeks ago, was in the Police Court today charged with being a vagrant and suspicious person. Polfeeman McDonald of the eighth precinct was a witness against him, as were several other officers. It was alieged that since the return of the de- fendant he has been under the influence of liquor a number of times, and has lived or spent most of his time at the house of a disreputable «oman. Attorney McNally, who appeared for the prisoner, made a plea for his release. He argued that the man had been arrested be- couse of his past record. It was his idea that a man released from prison has some rights. Judge Scott said he did not dispute coun- sel’s statement, and he hoped the day would come when people would take ex-convicts by the hand and endeavor to lift them up. “But,” said the judge, “when a man wants to get drunk and make a hog of him- self the best place for him is in a room withthe door locked. The better the man is the more likely he is to get arrested, for it is usually the mean man and not’ the jolly good féllow who goes off to himself and has nothing to say.” In conclusion the judge said the question of the prisoner having served time in the entiary had nothing to do with the sentence. A penalty of $20 or sixty days on the farm was imposed. “You —— ——,"’ said the prisoner, on his way to the dock, “I'll fix you when I get out.” For this the court imposed an additional penalty of $20 or ninety days. wee On Third Floor. $ E Oe for superior Lam Woot % pct SE kuittea t che And daintlest $ with Jace ribbon trim Militar $F Biderdown Dressing S coylth st al, fitted at our risk, | Table Linen.

BISHOP T sh a Line of Steamers Would Esta to the African Coast—The Plan Discussed. African Bishop H. M. Turner of Methodist Church announced fore a conference in Georgia that he in- tends shortly to call “‘a great national con- vention of neg of the Union, The bishop stated that one of the requests that the convention would make would be that “Congress shall appropriate $100,000,660 to meet the expenses of starting a line of steamers to the African coast, which shall carry the American negroes back to their ancestral land.” A part of Bishop Turner’s address was as follows: “I see no manhood future for the negro in this country, and the man who is not able to discover that fact from existing con- ditions must be void of common sense. Our civil, political and social status degrading, and as degradation begets deg radation, the negro must go from bad to worse ad infinitum. Neither education nor wealth can ever elevate us to the grade of respectability. I say this because we are surrounded by so many influcnces that militate against our manhood. : “The best thing the negro can do is to call a great national convention and ask the United States Congress for $100,000,000 to meet the expense of starting a Hue of steamers between this country and Africa, thus pioneering a domain for our sectle- ment. With this start upon the part of the general government, which actually owes us $10,000,000.000 for 246 years of la- bor, we could build up a business that would enable us to transport to Africa as many of our race as are fit to go. Uf the United States has hundreds of millions to throw away in a useless war and for cther foolish things, surely jt gan appropriate $10,000,000 to the most loyal inhabitants it has in {ts domain. i The Alternative. “The white people themselves bad infi- nitely better appropriate, $10,000,000, if we are the raping monsters which the pub- lic press charges us wfth being, than to be = at B | | | g “Thave used your valuable CASCA- BETS and find thew perfect.

A letter from one who is a sincere friend | of the negroes, received here, in part “The bishop's plan is a little too large and dreamy to begin such an experiment upen. Why should we across the At- lantic to try the experiment of a negro ce y? For instance, the tropical Island of Haiti or San Domingo, near Cuba and 1 the favorable condi- tions that could be found anywhere In the Niger or Congo countries of Afri Bishop Turner's national convention of negroes had better propose to go to Haiti and try the plan on a moderate e for a while, to see how it works. The money for such an enterprise would not be hard to get. The ships to carry the colonists thither will be ready as soon as the blacks are ready to go. Halt a dozen intelligent leaders would do well to go to Haiti first and get the pre- liminaries arranged and the work started; after that there would be no lack of phil- anthropic and government assistance for carrying it through to success. What Experience Proves. “An experience of a third of century since the war has shown that the white and black races in the southern states will never harmonize. The recent injustices in- flieted upon the blacks in North Carolina are but one item in a situation prevailing all over the South. To a certain degree Bishop Turne: right when he ‘s there is no ‘manhood future’ for his race in these states. It would be to the mutual advan- of both whites and blacks if all the atisfied negroes in the cotton states could be induced to go to some country where they could live their own life and de- velop in their own way. ‘he world has not failed to note what a poor attempt the blacks of Haiti have made at development during the century of in- dependence which they have enjoyed since they got rid of the French and Spanish yokes. But this is the fault of the people and not of the island. There is no better or more convenient country in the world for the American negroes to emigrate to than this same rich and luxuriant Island of Haiti. If our discontented southern negroes cannot improve and progress there, win- ning for themselves an increase of wealth and of comfort, then they cannot do it in Africa or anywhere on earth. “One thing Bishop Turner must bear in mind: His fellow negroes must not be ex- ported free, or coddled, or furnished offices for asking. They must not expect land, or food, or clothing, or anything else with- out working for them or paying in some other way for them. All negroes who want to find new homes in a more congenial place, like Haiti, will have to save money and stop their follies and idleness and drinking and gambling. He shculd empha- size this part of the program every time he addresses his fellow negroes on the sub- ject of colonization. Advantages of Haiti. “Haiti is a perfect paradise of luxuriant vegetation, magnificent scenery and rich scil. It is Hke a beautiful tropical garden that has been allowed to become a savaze wilderness, Our southern negroes could zo there and at once take a place of perma- nent superiority over the barbarous degen- erates who are now there. If they went with the right ideas and intentions of i dustry they could easily work out for theni- sclves a destiny far higher and happier than they can hope to attain among the hostile whites in the southern states. Haiti is a large, rich, neglected, retrograding isl- and, not being more than one-quarter occu- pied. It has for the last 100 years and is gradually returning to African barbarism. It is capable of furnishing homes and home- Steads for several millions of additional in- Seedonteetecoazeeteetecteatoe does pot contain has not even a lw f its ports. } | se but indigenous fruits ne - Shaken down by the mor | keys and the lazy, slothful, superstitious negroe: The women do a 1 work; the men practically nothing. “Under American capital, direction and | | | | skill this grand island wilderness might {reclaimed and brought Into a comparatively | presperous condition.

Un- der such an arrangement they could e tinue to make progress through Americ. 1 “Their rights would be protected by the | United States government and they would escape from the injustice which they con- tirually suffer in the cotton states. Fur- thermore, if the blacks in the south wer th:nned out by such colonization, the whites, for the race, would treat those rc maining in a much better and more kindly way. “And if the Haitien experiment prove successful there would be no lack of funds and ships to carry out a larger Afr can project of the same kind—including, perhaps, the buying of 1,000,000 square miles oa the Congo from the King of Belgium. At the outset, however, it will be better to restrict the experiment to Haiti.” _ Work of Bethany Mission. During the past ten months regular serv- ices have been held every evening at 431 42 street southwest, what is known as “Bethany Mission.” Miss Flora Herrmann has given all her time to visiting the sick and the needy, ministering and helping and holding Bible readings with such as were interested in attaining spiritual instruction. Food, medicines, clothing and reading mat- ter have been liberally provided. Mr. 8. F. Svensson of Brooklyn will give largely of his time to speak at the meeting, and being a close student of the Bible as well as devoted to the special work of the mission, It is anticipated by the manage- ment that greater interest will be given to the future meetings than has been in the past. This afternoon will be inaugu- rated an additional feature of usefulness of this unpretending institution. Daily from 4 to 6 o'clock will be served soup and bread to the needy at the smallest possibie cost, and in providing this food it is especially de- signed that it shall be prepared upon hy- gienic principles, —— Thousands of situations have been ob- tained through the want columns of The Star, ould {a es Caledonian Club Officers.

Foreign capital iq coming in heavily, and this is due to the wise and gen policy of Diaz. He ine vites all capital to enter and welcomes all good people, and by his system of granting valuable concessions to foreign capital hi is developing the country and opening up its wonderful resources. “The Mexico of today is very differeng from the Mexico that Diaz took hold of, continued Mr. Nailor. “Law is respected down there now. The statutes are lenient, perhaps, but their observance is rigorously demanded, and they are enforced without fear or favor. A stranger can travel the streets of the City of Mexico at night with more safety, I venture to assert, than he can those of New York or Chicago. The people are very warm-hearted and hospit- able, and courteous to strangers. There is, in my opinion, a big opening for enterpzis- ing Americans there. A fine hotel would be, for one thing, an excellent investment. Perpetual Sp: “The climate is superb, spring, the temperature ranging between 65 and 75 degrees the year round. ‘The alti- tude affects one somewhat, as the city is 7,500 feet above the sea—think of it, highe than the summit of Mount Washington. My American silver dollars were worth $2.10 i Mexican money, either silver or paper, as they have paper money there.” “How about the condition of the working classes, the peons, as they are called?” in- quired the reporter. “I made inquiries in that direction,” said Mr. Nailor, “‘and found they were well satisfied. The lower class of Mexicans have simple tastes. They live almost ex- clusively on tortelias and frijoles, and the equable climate aces not cause’ them to bother much about clothes. The country is so remarkably productive that even in the arid regions irrigation has changed former deserts into gardens. Mexico is an interesting country to visit, I assure you, Inéecd, 1 know of none more so.” =. like perpetual
