What has become of the leading negroes. If any one can tell what the Bus- jness Men’s League accomplished at Richmond, The Bee will second the motion. The negro in America is a pecu- liar being. He never knows when he is hurt. He may be able to distinguish Detween right and wrongsome day. If you are certain in what you do, don’t hesitate in doing +, The so-called independent move— ment in Maryland is a bubble. Mr. Pearrie will be elected in November the independent move- ment to the contrary notwithstand- ng- It is so strange that no colored man can be appointed in the Police Court. Some people can never see any good in the negro. There should be a change in the lieutenancy of the Sth precinct. It is always best to hear both sides of all questions before you come toa conclusion. A good citizen is one who knows how to treat his fellow man. A bird never flies so high that he is not compelled to come to the ground for food. Never do anything in anger be- eause you may do an injury to your self. The noblest man in the world is he who hashnmanity in his soul. The next House of Representa- tives is in doubt. The Colored American sees no of fice in sight, hence it put o2 an independent dress last week. It is not certain how the negro will vote next fall. Trimmers and apologists always put on peculiar uniforms. The Bee knows its duty and hence it needs no advice from trim mers. Colored delegates from the S ruth will be scarce in the next Republi- can Convention. The Bee will not be surprised if Georgia does not follew Alabama and North Carolina. This is a world of deception and false doctrines. There was not much danger in the Washington contingent being Jost in the shuffle at Birmingham, Ala.

An Situation in the Shack of a Western Man Who Entertains a Rattler, Interesting Every time John Prentice, of Ken- newick, Wash., rolls over in bed at SHE WASHINGTON SEE. YOUR C night, a big rattlesnake lifts its ugly head and bur-r-rs, and some night there promises to be a battle between the two. ys ago Prentice first heard the warning bur-r-r of the rattle in his x. He is an old westerner and dwells on the bank of the Columbia, half a mile from Kennewick, andjjust across the river from Pasco. His cabin is a one-room affair in the midst of a wild, sparsely settled, sage brush country, and is piled high on one WATCHING FOR THE RATTLER. side with plunder gathered from the river. Here are dozens of heavy boxes and other articles which would take half a day to drag out. Prentince heard the rattler, looked twice at the boxes and then decided not to interfere with the intruder en- sconced behind the mass of rubbish. He shifted his bed a little and gave up half his house to the snake. The rattlesnake bur-r-rs at every move Prentice makes, but the nervy west- erner pays little attention to it. On one side of the shack dweller as he sleeps is a big shotgun and on the other a bottle of approved snake bite. “If I see that snake first, heaven help him,” remarked Prentice. “If he gets in on me first, here’s the snake bite. I’m safe either wa Foxes in Nutmeg State, The law of Conneeticut allows a one- dollar bounty for each fox killed, and the state refunds to the town the amount paid, and allows the town treasurer 15 cents for his services in each case. Last year the various towns paid bounties on 1.272 foxes killed within their respective limits.

New Jersey Policeman, Sympathetic Justice and Obliging Jeweler Help Brooklyn Runaways. Policeman Flanagan, of Jersey City, was halted on Grove street at 11 o’elock the other night by a_ well- dressed young couple, whoat first ap- peared somewhat embarressed. “What is the matter?” asked the of- ficer. “Well,” said the young man, “we want to find a minister or a justice of the peace. Can you direct us to one? The fact is,” he added, becoming bold- er after the ice had been broken, “we “WE WISH TO GET MARRIED.” wish to get married and the ceremony must be performed to-night.” Flanagan said that he thought Capt. John Kelly could arrange the matter. He escorted the couple to the Seventh street police station and sent for Jus- tice Martin D. Kelly. When he was told why his services were needed and that it would be necessary for him to provide witnesses, he called on Arthur McGraw and Miss Fanny Ludwig, two neighbors, who accompanied him to the police station. Justice Kelly was about to perform the ceremony when it was discovered that the prospective bridegroom had failed to provide himself with a ring. Having taken the measure of the bride’s finger, Capt. Kelly sent an of- ficer to arouse a jeweler on Pavonia avenue and the ring was secured with little delay. After that the ceremony was quickly performed. The bridegroom said he was Francis . Riker, of Brooklyn, and the bride escribed herself as Ada M. Dunn, 22 years old, also of Brooklyn, employed as a stenographer by a New York firm. They said Miss Dunn's parents objec ed to her marrying on the ground that she was too young. Mr. Riker said he and Miss Dunn talked the matter over and finally concluded to go to Jersey City and be married. They had little doubt that the bride’s parents would forgive her. NEW ROOSTER STORY. While Still in Egg State Bird Col- lided with Train and Now Whistles Like Locomotive. The following story was published recently, It was attributed to Repre- sentative Flanagan, of New Jersey, a millionaire from Morristown. He told the story at a picnic of Patrons of Husbandry at Tyttle’s Grove, near Mor- ristown. “I was riding from Baltimore to Washington on a fast train one day,” said Mr. Flanagan. “The car window was open.

B. Peterson, of the town of Atlanta, Wis., had an encounter with a large female black bear the other morning. The bear presented herself and three cubs at the home of Mr. Peterson and was in the act of taking possession of his bee hives ! ; : when they were noticed. Mr. Peterson fired upon the bear, when she made a fierce fight. He fired again, this time wounding her. She then disappeared in the woods. He killed the cubs.
