There is in this country certain Afro-Americans who do more to discriminate against themselves than the white people who are charged with color prejudice. Every day the country is thrown into excitement and riot by the acts of Afro-Americans. Meetings are called by representative men and women of the race for the purpose of appealing to the law-makers and those in authority to put a step to lynchers and lynching and appeal this obnexious law, known as ““LYNCH LAW MUST GO.” This is what the great political re- former, Editor John Mitchell, Jr., or Richmond, Va., carried into a by- word till now it is in every house- hold in the Jand. The meeting at Shiloh Baptist church on last Monday night was largely at- tended. The occasion was a series of meet- ings held, in this city, denouncing the lynching of Sidney Randolph. The meeting was called to order by Hon. John M. Langston, who intro- duced the central figure of the occas- ion, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett. The lady spoke in her usual strain and suggested the propriety of a perma- {nent organization. A BRAVE WOMAN.

It is a co-operative boaring-club for young working-women, originally numbering seven girls accustomed to organized action, and it has been from the start self-governing, the officers being elec- ted from their own ranks and serving six months gratuitously. The club has now about fifty members, and the weekly dues of three dollars each meet the expenses of rent, food, ser- vice, heat and light in the substantial house whose delightful air of comrade- ship greets one at the very entrance. The pleasant parlorsand dining-rooms have been furnished in a home-like way by Hull House assistance, and the club has in itself resources of a social and intellectual character which go far to mitigate the usually desolate lot of the homeless working-girl. The club now occupies five flats, and the members share the housework as their occupations. permit,--From ‘‘‘ Hull House,’’ in Demorest’s Magazine for August. TEN DAY TRIP TO FALLS $10.00.
