Mr. and Mrs. Gould have invited Mrs, Mackay to be one of their guests on the At- alanta during the Cowes week. They could | lave no more delightful and accomplished cicerone than Mrs. Mackay, whose position iz London is second to no American. Singularly enough, mention of the fact that Mrs. Mackay is to be the guest of the Goulds has revived that senseless twaddle of the Melssonler portrait of herself, which now hangs in the ball room of the house in Carlton House terrace, and it goes without saying that this portrait is one of the most valuable of modern paintings. Mr. and Mrs. Gould, no doubt, have acted largely on the advice of a worldly wise woman of society, who said to them before tiiey launched out: My dears, if you spend your money at home society will blackguard you, and if you go abroad to spend it you'll be called unamerican. 1 advise you to g0 ahead and do as you please, and you'll come out at the top of the heap Moonlight Pienie. The Junior Social club gave the third of a series of moonlight picnics and dances at Irvington Friday.

One of the pleasantest parties of the sea- son was given last Friday evening by twelve jolly couples from the north part of town. At 7:30 the jolly twenty-four started out on their journey. Each of the party had a big tin horn, and if the air was not resonant with music, it was the fault of the horns and not of those who blew them. After driving about the city for some time they started for Florence, where they ro- celved a warm welcome. After a pleasait rest a dainty lunch was served on the lawn. A number of outdoor games were then indulged in. The return home was thoroughly delightful, the beautiful night and the congenial company making a per- fect ensemble. Those participating in the ride were: Misses Carrie Erickson, Annie Heywood, Ada Heyman, Florence Fred- ericks, Clara Heywood, Mabel Flood, France Gallintin, Lottie Shropshear, Maggie Gali- van, Lootio Metcalf, Pearl Gader and Miss Smith; Messrs.

LONDON, July 28, —This is the last night at half a dozen theaters, and next week Lon- doners will bave only a few undying suc- like “The Gaiety Girl,” “The Boy" and “Little Columbus” to choose from, in addition to the music halls, which are always open and crowded. A new drama, “The Puritan,” by Chiristic Murray, Henry Murray and Actor Shine, was produced at the Trafalgar theater on Thursday last, and was given a kindly reception “The Puritan” was well played, but it will require a great deal of pruning. The problem of the play, dealing with sexual matters, is in a manner which is likely to cause much dispute, George Edwardes has secured Marie Temp- est as the herolne for the new op:ra which David James is writing to follow ‘“The Jaiety Girl” at Daly's. Mascagni is to visit New York next winter and will conduct operas at the Metropolitan opera house. When the cesses three Inglish away the Ameri- cans will play. It Is becoming an established cust for London theaters to be occupled by Americans during the temporary absence of their rightful owners. In the coming autumn American stars will shine at two of the best houses—the Lyceum and the Gar- rick. In both cases th> projected entertain- ments will be somewhat opposed to the traditions of the theaters. Comic opera will oust tragedy from the Lyceum and farce will follow high comedy at the Garrick. Henry Irving's theater has been le Henry Abbey, who will open this sea September 8 with “Th Queen of Brilliants, a comic opera in which Miss Lillian Russell will play the principal part. The rest of the cast will be completed in England, but the other roles have not yet been assigned to their future exponents. ““The Queen of Brilliants,” the music of which is by Herr E. Jacobosky, was first produced in Vienna, under the title of *Die Brilliante Oneign' on March 25 of the pri ent year. It had a run of fifty consecutive nights, which is quite long for the continent. The original libretto, by Tauben and Fachs, has been adapted for English purposes by Brandon Thomas. The scene is laid in Dal- matia, thus giving the composer excellent opportunity for the introduction of local color. Thea'rical people here have been much struck by Hope Booth's resemblance to Olga Brandon and Edmund Maurice, a prominent actor who has a slight acquaintance with the English actress, chatted with the Amerl can_at a recent matince, supposing her to be Miss Brandon, for nearly a quarter of an hour before discovering his mistake, Miss Booth is, of course, considerably younger and more petite that Olga Brandon, but the type of face is extraordinarily similar. MISS BOOTH'S DEBUT. The play Miss Booth has chosen for mak- ing her London debut has been written for her by Charles T. Vincent, and Is entitled “Little Miss Cute.”” It is in three ac's, the first of which is laid in a hotel at Rome during the carnival time, and the other three in an English country seat. Miss Booth plays the part of an American heiress of 16, who travels alone in Europe with her maid. Her first “‘entrance’ is original and effective. She reaches the hotel in a most dilapidated condition and barefoot—the victim of carnival fun. Incidentally she will give proof of her are od by n on | terpischorean art and will sing a song by Arthus West, and also a_plantation ditty. John Hare given his Cachet to the pro- Quction by allowing his son Gilbert to ap- pear in the plece. It may be pointed out that barring infant prodigies, Hope Booth was the youngest star in America in 1892 and will be the youngest star in England in 1894, If she is as successful as she is pretty her term of management will not be brief. Hope Booth's understudy, by the way, will be Miss Fanny Ward, another fair American, and her greatest friend. In part acknowledgment of the visit of Lillian Russell and Hope Booth, London is sending to the United States Miss Nellie Ganthony, the Lady Corney Granin, who arts on the 30th proximo on the Etruria for New York on her first American tour. Her visit will be a protracted one, lasting some wecks. She opens in New York on September 17, proceeding thence to Philadel- phia, -Albany and other large cities, and will afterwards visit Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, among other Canadian towns. Miss Ganthony only returned at the end of May from a most successful trip to South Africa, where she and her manager, Mr. Seare, covered 4,000 miles in six months, leaving no big town unvisited. She was universally feted and drew record houses in Durban, Johannesburg, Pieter, Maritzburg and elsewhere. Miss Ganthony has had some experience as an actress, but she makes a specialty of musical sketches or monologue amusing and clever in their own w those of Corney Granin or George Gro; She possesses the advantages of youth, a musical voice, a very attractive appearance and a good fund of humor and imitative power. The artistic success of ‘“Arms and the Man” induced Bernard Shaw to give up musical criticism in order to devote his whole time to play writing. He is said to have resigned his post on the London World \d the well known initials,"G. B. 8. will hortly disappear from the pages of that Journal.

DIERNHARDT BIDS LONDON FAREWELL. arah Bernhardt bade farewell to her London admirers at Daly’s last Saturday, but she has been giving matinee perform- ances during the past week in some of the nerthern and midland cities under the di- rection of Messrs, Abbey and Grau.

She has written to Robert Buchanan, giv- ing him clearly to understand that unless the sum owing to her is immediately forth- coming she will take the law and some more summary method of chastisement into her own hands, and that the result will be on his head.

There is soinething rather pathetic about them after all, leven if they are funny, these first “‘swallow flights of song,” whose returning wings are ‘‘dipped in tears' very often indeed. How deliciously excited you feel when it comes to the part of care- fully copying off your first manuscript on blue lined foolscap in your best Spencerian more hardened struggler for liter- ary honors would have at least three or four type-written coples, so that in case one is slow in being returned with the edi- tor's Inevitable ‘“‘thanks,” there are more on hand to be dispatched to another desti- fon without loss of time. Not with Miss Novice, however—the thought of possi ble defeat ha ever entered her mind S0 you roll your written sheets neatly (never thinking to number them, of course), nclose a thmid, yet hopeful note, with a stamps for an answer at the top, and direct the precious document to the editor of the largest magazine you know of. You expect a post haste letter of accept- ance In a day or two—or perhaps a week at the very latest. Your dreams are filled with vislons of that cordial letter from the editor of the great magazine, enclosing a handsome check with the request that “‘we may soon have more from the pen of the gifted,” ete., etc. You have not confided your venture to a soul, and your eyes glisten at the thought of how your parents and friends will stare when your em appears—in the very next issue, of cour And what would be the most appropriate way of investing that gen- erous renumeration you are sure to re- ceive Such are the dreams into apprehensions S still no Muse ade and Cer- that gradually weeks drag by, intelligence from your editor tainly he could not have been cr: vul- garian enough to discard altogether your contribution, the publ fon of which would raise the standard of any periodical. Is it not far superior to most of the things you have noticed in the st issue No, you will not torment yourself with that thought for an instant. Certainly,®the morrow must bring letter of acceptance, check and everylasting joy to your heart. With what tightening of heart ngs do yo watch the carrier coming down the street At! at last he stops at your gate. Again you feel glad that you copied that off so neatly yourself. But horror! bulky envelope What can this mean? A is handed you with the name of a great magazine stamped on the upper left-hand corner. You rush off to your sanctum and feaverishly tear open the formidable looking packet. It drops to your feet with a thud, and a flutter of those neat, unnumbered Spencerian-hand-written pazes, while you read with a yellowish smile and a glassy eye the polite—sardonically polite—printed foté, with blanks for the “Dear Miss,”. “Madam” or “Sir,”" as the case may be, otherwise not differing in the siightest degree | from a hundred others of its kind, sent out{to exasperate as many hopeful young idiots. This urbane missive then proceed to damn with faint praise your mnoble effort, and thanks you for the pleasure you have given the editor in sub- mitting your admirable production for him to read, but owing to exces of matter al- ready on hand, ete., hus, in polite, cold” blood, he deals your “first swallow flight” a blow that brings it to earth in quick time. Yon force an indifferent air and say lightly to yourself that after all you never really expected for an instant that your crude little effort (it is that now) would be accepted. It was only an experi- ment, anyway, But in your secret heart aren’t you glad that you did not tell any- body that you'evtm' wrote a story? Just then your foot comes in contact with the fallen idol, and I fear a viclous kick onds it flying into the far corner of the room. K. M. M. ——————— Fine sandy bottom at Courtland.

This did mot suit the non-progressive or “blanket” Indians, and this fact and the fealousies existing on the part of other ambitious Indians toward Spotted Tail on account of the exalted posi- tion which he held were the real causes leading up to the flerc and bloody vendetta which terminated in the Kkilli of Spotted Tail.

Spotted Tail was never arrested for the crime. The ani- mosity of the outspoken enemies of the chief became even more bitter, and Crow Dog at that time swore he would kil Spot Tail and thus avenge the murder of friend, Big Mouth Although Crow Dog has always had the reputation of being a brave Indian, he did not appear to be in a hurry to carry his threat into execution, but instead made every effort to induce the Indians to en- gago in an uprising against the head chief, the intention being to overpower and kill Spotted Tail during the attendant excite- ment. These efforts, of course, were unsuc- cessful, Time p wa government 0 Wi his the year 1880, Dog still being bit- d on_until Spotted Tail and Crow ter enemies. In the month of August of that year, and on a ration day, Crow Dog came down the hill to Rosebud agency in a wagon. When at the foot of the hill he chaneed to glance behind him and saw his enemy starting down the hill, also on his way to the agency. Spotted Tail was on horseback. Crow Dog stopped his wagon, jumped to the ground, and concealing him- Self behind the vehicie awaited the approach of the unsuspecting chief. When Spotted ‘Tail had approached to with- in about twenty yards of the wagon Crow Dog suddenly jumpsd ty his feet, took care- ful aim and sent a bullet into the body of his hated foe. Crow Dog had carried out the vow made twelve years before. After the assassination Crow Dog got into his wagon, drove to the agency and coolly en- tered one of the post trader's stores. By this time the news of Spotted Tail's death had reached the agent, and he sent a force of Indian police to arrest the murderer, who surrendered without resist: Instead of his act being received with fa- vor and rejoicing by the Indians generally, the reverse was the case, and the indigna- tion of the Indians found’ vent in threats of bodily harm to the murderer. Many of the angry and excited Indians were industriously arousing their brethren to take Crow Dog from the agency authorities and burn him at the stake. At this exciting juncture troops that had been sent for arrived from Fort Niobrara, and the prisoner was smuggled by them from the reservation and taken to the fort, where he was kept well guarded. When the Indians learned that Crow Dog had been taken away their rage knew no bounds, and they became hostile and openly threatened to g0 to the fort and take the assassin from the military authorities by force. In antictpation of such an attempt the gar- rison was kept under arms for three days and nights, the horses of the cavalry having thelr saddles on during the whole of the time until the excited Indians had quieted down. To the Indian agent is due the credif for preventing an outbreak which would have been serious in its consequences Crow Dog was taken to Deadwood, where he was tried and convieted. While waiting for his sentence the officer in charge of him per- mitted him to return to the Rosebud reserva- tion, on the promise that he would return in ten days. Not having returned at the ex piration of the ten days the officer went after him, finding him without difficulty, as the convicted murderer refused positively to go into hiding. He was subsequently granted a new trial which resulted in his acquittal. Time has obliterated the feeling occasioned by the killing of Spotted Tail, the matter being sel- dom if ever referred to by the Rosebud In- dians, Spotied Tall was about 50 years of age at the time of his death, and Crow Dog is about that age now. Crow Dog and his wife have a daughter who s 20 years old and weighs only sixty pounds They live quietly on the Rosebud reserva- tion, and are fairly well-to-do. It is a fact’ known to but few outside the Rosebud reservation that this tribe has never been permitted by the government to have a chief since the Killing of Spotted Tail. e NEGRO AND THE CAUCASIAN. Not Intel 1 Morally In- ferlor to tho Latter. The growing strength and importance of the Nebraska Afro-American league is one of the few things that escupe the general public notice, but that organization is never rapidly gaining in membership and influence. Its members include some of the best known representatives of colored race in the west, and there Is noted a grad- ual but uone the less certain improvement in the character of the colored men who par- ticipate in business and professional life in this state. This lmprovement can largoly be traced to the intellizent efforts of the gentlemen who are at the head of the Afro American league in Nebreska, The leasue re- cently held its fifth annual session, at wnich an intoresting program gave zest to the business matters before the convention. Herewith is a synopsis of one of the lead- ing addresses dellvered before the league convention. It was by Mrs. M. E. Palmer, prominently identified with educational work in this state. Mrs. Palmer spoke on the sub- § “Is the Negro Intellectually and Morally the Inferior of the Caucasian?' She first traced the ethnological history of rmer theless the Ethioplan race from the carllest time: proving from indisputable records that th Etlioplan elvilization preceded by thousands of years that civilization which, springing from the loins of Egypt, gave to Grecce her first in culture, and whose Influcnce gradually lifted the world from burbarism to_enlightenment To do my subject wker, ‘1 must history, | branches proper, the ide and the Hamitie, branch I8 classified the ¢ Egyptiass ym these nations history sprang.

Gazing bick thron vistas of ages we behold a time wl wypt was polsed upon the pinnacle of national splendor, The Egypt of the Pharaohs, of the pyraniids, of the sphiynx and of the Nile was the veritable cradle of elvilization, The Esyptian looked with mpt upon the halt inhabitants of Greece, The Greck was ated only ax a mereenary o armies.

In the niost temples of Egypt sacred paintings represent black pricsts conferring upon Lgyptians the Instruments and symbols of sacerdotal of Not the least interesting fact discoverable this ¢ n s that the divinity halt of Christendom today worships survival of that black-skinned godiess riomoma, whom Ethiopia first taught | to adore and who became first the Isis of 2gypt, then the chlef goddess of Rome and Greece, and finally the Mary of the Roman Catholic church. = Thus does the original cult of the black still live and flourish in the proudest centers of civilized Christendom The comparative study of history, which alone can give each race its true place in the calendar of time, is still in its cy A few years ago Emerson knew no better than to write, ‘It is race, is it not, that puts the hundreds of millions of India under the dominion_of a small, remote island in the north of ‘Burcpe? Today every school child is taught that the white, conquering Englisi- man and the black, subjected Hindoo are brothers of the same race, branches of one parent stock, separated their childhood The ethnolugist now replies to Emerson, ‘Race it fs clearly not that enables the Ar- van of England to politically enslave the Ar- yan of Iudia.” Moreover, in a world where a thousand years is but a day, it is searce a moment since England herself was a polit- ical slave to the Norman. T it a question of ative superiority. 1f the first young germs of three different plants be placed before a nist e cannot, with all the aids of sc e the difference. The same can be with the embryos of animals and of man himself. Let the most skillful scien- tist apply the most searching tests to di tinguish one from the other and he will fail Therefore we cannot say that one race is superior to another according to creation, or classity them according to the contour of the skull or the convolutions of the brain, for ethnologists now generally recognize but one origin for all mankind and attribute all dif- ferences to climate, location and habits ot “The black man of Africa, along the coast where nature is least lavish of her gifts to man and where the rivalry of tribes is flercest, the native races of today exhibit the most intelligence. In the forests where climate demands no clothing and where fruits furnish food without cultivation, there the African intellect is found in its most dormant condition. Man is therefore an animal that requires the sharp goad of ne- cessity and the sting of competition for the development of his innate powers. In our own country we see this truth strikingly manifested in the comparison of the negro cared for by a master with the negro cared for by himself. When not allowed to come into active competition with other races he knew but little; but in the thirty years that he has had to be self-dependent and com- pelled to meet the brain and brawn of other races, his mental and material progress has been a marvel “All over the world the negro is given just recognition except in the United States. ~Go with me to the isle of England, upon whose dominion the sun never and whose ulers recognize men by brains and not by race.

Bly den received at the court of St. James as the representative of his government, Free Li be Dr. Blyden has the honor of being the first negro who has been received as minister plenipotentiary and envoy extra- ordinary at a royal court of Europe. He is a man of great Intellect, commanding more than forty languages, and is a living refutation of the charge that the negro has little or no talent. “In the suuny republic of France we find Godfrey L.
