In one they were r.ut disappointed, for at the Sea- bright Beach Club, where the cottagers met the Board of Chosen Freeholders and State Commis- sioner Budd. steps were taken looking toward a new Ptone drive in the Rurnson Road. It was the consensus of opinion that nothing short of a 30-foot macadam road would fill the bill. The approximate ccet of such a road would foot up to $60,000. The expanse will Call largely on the property owners of the Hunisc Head, as the State law provides only a payment cf one-third for a 16-foot stone centre, while the township and county are each assessed a certain pro rata share. At yesterday's meeting, which was largely at- tended, in spite of the storm, County Engineer William H. De Nyse. of lx>ng Branch. pr. rented rkuis and specifications for the new road. William F. Havemeyer, who is president of the Rumson Association, which hap looked after the Rumson Drive to a large extent for many years, presided at the meeting. a committee consisting of ex-At- torney General T.

Remember the new location TH I RD FLOOR \ Actually we have never been fair with our customers who desired linens, obliging them to look at beautiful things in the crowded aisles in scant sitting or standing space. \u25a0 It is all over now. We have enlarged our linen business by taking itinto the Third floor, fronting on Broadway, with a space large enough to give the people a chance' to see what the old A. T.Stewart store is capable of. The light is beautiful, and the satisfaction to investigators of having liberally spread before them so many different linen things, that could not in the past be prop-; erly put upon the short counters down stairs, will be most pleasing. This removal of the linens to the Third floor, is a revival of the old-time A. T. Stewart "linen business." The new spot is quite close to five elevators on the Ninth street side, and not far from five more elevators that run to the third floor. We shall now be able to show many fine and very fine goods, in Table-cloths, Napkins. Towels, Doilies, and other fancy linen? that some people have supposed we did not have on sale. Now that we have enlarged the linen section, it will be easily seen thit but few exclusive linen stores keep such large stocks as willconstantly be found here. Linens here are linen and nothing else ! An inspection politely requested. The Old-Time A. T.. Stewart Linens In those old days when Alexander T. Stewart personally superintended the greatest retail store then in the world, his two pet businesses were the Laces and Linens. He had a marvelous taste for laces and a wonderful instinct for linens. Many who knew Mr. Stewart used to think his favorite stock was the linens. Per- haps it was because his favorite buyer, Mr. Walker, wm the head of the linen section. We have always thought that if Mr. Stewart were living, he would be ashamed of our linen counters. Xot that we did not hare the right goods, but that we had sncJ poor arrangements to show them. It seemed as if, with the Shoes on the one side,' the Dress Goods on the other, and an important counting-room at the end, of the sec- tion, the Linens were smothered and belittled, though all the time we had cases and cases of linens exactly like those that Mr. Stewart's old consignors used to send out to him in great quantities all beautiful goods, that we kept packed away for want of room to show them.

HORSECAR KILLS CHILD. While playing in the street yesterday Annie Par- rella. three and one-half years old. of No. 215 Mott- st . wag run over and killed by an eastbound Sprlng-st. horsecar at Spring and Mott sts. The street was crowded with Italians and hundreds of persons saw the accident. The baby had been playing with several com- panions and ran underneath the horses. The driver Matthew Lennon of No. 58S Grand-st.. applied the brake and (".id ail he could to prevent the wheels from passing over the child's body, but the mo- mentum of the car was too great. A crowd gath- ered around th* car. but there was no demonstra- tion against the driver. He was locked up on a technical charge of homiclda. I^rsch had been employed as a modelmaker for Fisher * Bonn, monument makers. Xlneteenth-st between Third and Fourth aye*.. Brooklyn. He Had Been Out of Work and Drank Car- bolic Acid. Lynbrook. Long Island. July IP.—The body of a man, believed to have been Charles Lorsch. of No. 861 Eighteenth-st.. Brooklyn, was found in the woods near this place to-day. Abottle which con- tained «ome whisky and a vial which had contained carbolic acid were found beside the body. The suicide Is supposed to have been out of work and failing to obtain employment, went on a spree which lasted about twenty-four hours and ended in self-destruction. The following resolutions were adopted at to- nigth's meeting of the league. The young Methodism of North America, as rep- resented in this convention of more than 20.000 dele- Kates, reflects the spirit and voices the sentiment of 2,000,000 Epworthiars. Our deliberations have known no differences. Our Intercourse Is a delight. Distance and na- tional boundaries are incidental. We wish to love our country, our rulers and our flag; yet we are so made one in Christ that all several interests merge Into His kingdom and all souls blend in common kinship. V.'c rejice in the continued growth and increasing usefulness of the young peoples' societies of the Churches. V'e are grateful 0 Almighty God for the marvellous successes which have come to the Epworth League since the last International con- vention at San Francisco. The experience cf the years gives increasing evidence of the adaptati >n of the plans of the Epworth League to the spirit and polity of Methodism. As In the past, we stand for the broadest Chris- tian fraternity. We hail with special satisfaction every opportunity for practical co-operation with our young people's societies In Christian ministry and service. The Epworth League is not merely a young peo- ple's movement, neither is it to be looked upon as a separate department of the Church. It aims to bo an embodiment of all the activities of our Church, a complete manifestation of the spirit of our common Methodism. First in importance among questions claiming our attention we place the systematic and devout study of the Scriptures, both for our own spiritual growth and to srlve fitness for soul winning. We consider ourselves called to the work of personal evangelism, and we enjoin all our members to enter the fields now white for harvest. We stand for a present, an abundant and a conscious salvation, as essential to that power of witnessing which wins men. We thus send out to the young hosts of our unittd Methodism this appeal for prayer— a holy waiting at the morning watch, a pleading of the promises of the open book for a revival, which may mean to the twentieth century what the re- vival of Wesley was to the eighteenth century and to the world. Epworth Leaguers, let us to our knees that we may wield the Spirit's blade. To us, as to the young people of no other age ccmes the trumpet call. "Go ye all into all the world." and go we must, for. lifting up our eyes, we behold In many lands Gospel opportunities rap- idly becoming Gospel emergencies. To remain ignorant or indifferent to the causo of missions is to sin against light and to ignore the will of God. We, a part of Christ's great army, place at His instant disposal our means, our ser- vice and ourselves, that the world may he evan- gelized in our generation. The gigantic iniquity of the Anglo-Saxon race is a fostering of the monstrous traffic in intoxicants We believe the complete disenfranchisement of the business will abolish dangers that threaten us and clear up problems that perplex us. This whole evil organization Is a fountain of in- iquity whose streams poison wherever they flow It has no redeeming feature. It is an environment of perdition; hence we set our faces against this enemy of God, and will give It no quarter In social life. In politics— in fact, nowhere, until it is rele- gated to its own place. We regard the Christian Sabbath as the bulwark of defence for our Christian institutions To dese- crate the Sabbath endangers everything of impor- tance to the Church of God. We recognize ourselves as stewards of God's es- tate: we urge upon all our members such an ad- ministration of that estate as those who expect to give an account The calls of the kingdom are mandatory and definite. Hence, we acknowledge ourselves bound by the law of systematic and pro- portionate giving We are citizens and patriots, as well as Chris- tians. Hence, we record ourselves as upholders of law and order always and everywhere, as against all lawlessness and unlawful violence. BROOKLYNITE SUICIDE AT LYNBROOK. Sixth International Convention Ends at Detroit. Detroit, July 19.— With seven rroetingp to-night, all well attended, the sixth international conven- tion of the Epworth I^ea^ue. v.-hich Dr. J. F.

There were thirty-five hun- dred men present. The Rev. George R. Stuart, of Cleveland, Term., stirred the gathering to a high pitch of enthusiasm with his exhortations, inter- spersed with anecdotes and stories. "We are shaping our religion to our commercial ideas," he said. "Instead of our commercial Ideas to our religion. We are cutting down the Bible to make it fit the exigencies of our business, and the Bible is true." Dr. J. A. I.oster. of Nashville, urged the men to do stronger battle for their religion and the Church. The Rev. J. J. Rae. of Oshawa. Canada, also mado an addr**s». Mrs. Jennie M. Bingham, of Herkimrr, K.

A general strike of knee breeches makers, ordered by the Knee Breeches Makers' Union, for the re- newal of the agreement of last year with the con- tractors, went Into effect yesterday. Sunday is the beginning of the working week on the East Side, but not a machine was moving in any of {he con- tractors' shops, so far as the making of knee breeches was concerned. In all, about twenty-five hundred knee breeches makers quit work. They were employed by eighty contractors in Manhattan, twenty-five in Brooklyn and sixteen in Brownsville. The strikers made their headquarters in a hall at No. 73 L.udlow-st., where 1... Wiesefeld, the strike leader, and others made speeches in Yiddish, the gist of which was that the strikers were the worst paid and most miserable people in the city. The strikers, who looked cheerful, applauded vigorously. The demands of the strikers are expected to be granted. KNEE BREECHES MAKERS OUT. Bound Immovably to a board, a little yellow haired boy about four years old was borne down the aisle by an eager faced woman. She knelt at the rail and laid the board before her and bowed her head In prayer over it. Then the mother turned the board over, and through a slit In it Father Roy applied the relic to the boy's spine. The annual novena began on Friday and will continue until next Saturday. It is being con- ducted this year by th» Rev. P. J. Morgan. During the remainder of the novena masses will be. said In the church every day at t>:3o. 7 and 8:150 o'clock in the morning, and the relic will be exposed from 8 in the morning unty 9 o'clock at night. It is said that In yesterday's throng at the church there were pilgrims from Fan Francisco and Florida. The lame, the halt and the blind. In a seem- ingly endless procession, went in and out of the little brick church of St. Jean Baptlste, No. 159 East Seventy-sixth-Bt., yesterday. It was the third day of the annual novena at the shrine of gt. Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary, and the feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. so It was hoped that the relic enshrined In the base- ment of the church would perform miracles. None were reported, although Father Roy, from 8 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock in the evening, presented the relic, in Its metal case, to thousands of lips and applied it to different parts of the afflicted supplicants who crowded at the rail of the shrine. Some Halt and Blind at Shrine of St. Anne. PILGRIMS FROM WEST. University of North America Project Not in Shape for Statement Dr. Norman P.

Both boys, in a playful mood, ran directly In front of .the train to friphten the enginee-. He Immediately put on the brakes and blew his warn- ing signal. The boys started to run away, when suddenly one of them Flipped and fell directly in front of the engine, which was only a few yards away. The other boy, seeing his companion's dan- ger, without a moment's hesitation ran back, seized his friend's coat and pulled him off the track just as the train Bwept by. The engineer Immediately stopped the train, thinking he had hit the little fellow, but before he had time to leave his post the hoy had re- covered from his shock, and both started off on a run down the road. The engineer and conductor, seeing that everything was all right, started off again. Pulls Friend from in Front of Fast Train. BOY SAVES COMPANION.

Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon at 5 i 'dock, and were royally greeted by more than two thousand of their friends, par- ents, wives and sweethearts. The men were en- thusiastic over their experience at the army post, and stamp it as the pleaaantest and most profitable camp tour the regiment ever had. The regiment struck camp on Plum Island at 10:30 a. m. and marched to the south pier, where th" steamer Greenport was waiting for the men ar.d their baggage! The boat was loaded in less than an hour, and at 12:30 o'clock reached Gr«..- port. Long Island. There two special trains of the Long [aland Railroad were waiting, and the men ray they broke the record In loading each train l.i from five to seven minutes. After an uneventful trip the trains reached the Bedford-aye. station. in Brooklyn, at 4:30 o'clock. From there the regiment marched to the armory. Colonel David E.

It bad been intended to establish a permanent camp on Plum Island, where such officer* and men wtl * desired could remain or to which they could return later In the summer. This idea was given tip. however, on account of the poor facilities for going to and from the island.

Horace Miller, a colored Methodist mln- ffter, preached a sermon in the Mount Tabor Meth- odist Episcopal Church Mission, at No. 67 -West One-hundred-and-thirty-fourth-st., last night, In which he put all the blame for the criminality and degraded condition of the colored race on the white people. The title of the sermon was. "Critical Phases of Colored Life." "From the time the colored race received their liberty." paid the clergymen, "the white people \u25a0tailed to defame the name of the colored man and woman. As soon as the negro became free the whites began to fasten on him a reputation not bis own and called him a bestial criminal. I have devoted years of study to the question, and I find that the negro is not a whit more a rapist than the white man. Not 10 per cent of the crimes charged up against the colored man are due to him alone, "No race needs a higher education than the negro. so that he may become an independent man and think for himself. The negro has all rights to an education, but these rights are being called into question by the whites. The negro is becoming more criminal than ever because he cannot get any work. Ifhe does get work the pay Is such that it not sufficient for him to live. If the South had Sjven the negro an honest dollar for an honest day"* work, or even an honest half dollar, the negroes would not flock to New-York to become criminal. If the Southern farmer had not paid the negro helper in molasses and brown sugar the negro would have been contented to remain, and l \u25a0\u25a0 to day would gladly go hack to the South If ho louM pet paid an honest day's wages. \u25a0 The quickest way to solve the negro problem is to employ the negro. Ninety-five per cent of the criminals .ninnp them would then disappear. I know a colored man—a good penman and a fine bookkeeper— who answered a number of applica- tions for help. He got a number of answers ask- ing him to call He did so, but In nearly every ta.se, as soon as he was seen to be a negro, he was turned away, and often with curses. Many, many negroes seek work, cannot get it and turn crimi- nals from self-preservation. They?.. are criminals because they cannot fret work.

A $60,000 STONE ROAD.

ItIsPlanned for the Eumson Drive—

Costlyfor Property Owners.

Seabright. July 19 (Special).— Property owners atBcabright and on the Rumson Road were interestedIn two meetings planned 10 take place yesterday.Inone they were r.ut disappointed, for at the Sea-bright Beach Club, where the cottagers met theBoard of Chosen Freeholders and State Commis-sioner Budd. steps were taken looking toward anew Ptone drive in the Rurnson Road. It was theconsensus of opinion that nothing short of a 30-footmacadam road would fill the bill. The approximateccet of such a road would foot up to $60,000. Theexpanse will Call largely on the property owners ofthe Hunisc Head, as the State law provides onlya payment cf one-third for a 16-foot stone centre,while the township and county are each assesseda certain pro rata share.At yesterday's meeting, which was largely at-

tended, in spite of the storm, County EngineerWilliam H. De Nyse. of lx>ng Branch. pr. rentedrkuis and specifications for the new road. WilliamF. Havemeyer, who is president of the RumsonAssociation, which hap looked after the RumsonDrive to a large extent for many years, presidedat the meeting. a committee consisting of ex-At-torney General T. N. McCarter, Edwin D. Adams.William F. Havemeyer, G. F. Victor and Jacob H.Schiff. was appointed to meet again the Freehold-ers, at another conference, to be held In two weeks.The meeting was attended by representative prop-erty owners and the outlook is exceedingly brightfor a macadam road on the famous Rumson Driveby next year.

Th" other oonferenee— thai between the Freehold-ers and the owners of the tollroad— failed to ma-tertajlr' A telegram was received from GeorgeH. Holmrs, president of the S*»a.brlght and Hlgh-lan.ls Turnpike Company, snying that he would betinnble to meet the -holders. Thoso who havesubscribed to the $1.0(0 fund to Insure the purchasecf tli<> tollroad aro indignant because of the delay.Th<? toll collected daily from the road at the pres-ent tin is larse. which is believed to be one of thoreason* why th<» owners are not anxious to partwith the turnpike.

Remember the new location—

THIRD FLOOR \

Actually we have never been fair with our customers who desired linens, obligingthem to look at beautiful things in the crowded aisles in scant sitting or standing space. \u25a0

It is all over now. We have enlarged our linen business by taking itinto the Thirdfloor, fronting on Broadway, with a space large enough to give the people a chance'

to see what the old A. T.Stewart store is capable of.The light is beautiful, and the satisfaction to investigators of having liberally

spread before them so many different linen things, that could not in the past be prop-;erly put upon the short counters down stairs, willbe most pleasing.

This removal of the linens to the Third floor, is a revival of the old-time A. T.Stewart "linen business." The new spot is quite close to five elevators on the Ninthstreet side, and not far from five more elevators that run to the third floor. We shallnow be able to show many fine and very fine goods, in Table-cloths, Napkins. Towels,Doilies, and other fancy linen? that some people have supposed we didnot have on sale.

Now that we have enlarged the linen section, it willbe easily seen thit but fewexclusive linen stores keep such large stocks as willconstantly be found here.

Linens here are linen and nothing else !An inspection politely requested.

The Old-TimeA. T.. Stewart LinensIn those old days when Alexander T. Stewart personally superintended the

greatest retail store then in the world, his two pet businesses were—

the Laces andLinens. He had a marvelous taste for laces and a wonderful instinct for linens.

Many who knew Mr.Stewart used to think his favorite stock was the linens. Per-haps it was because his favorite buyer, Mr. Walker, wm the head of the linen section.

We have always thought that if Mr. Stewart were living,he would be ashamedof our linen counters. Xot that we did not hare the right goods, but that we had sncJpoor arrangements to show them. It seemed as if, with the Shoes on the one side,'

the Dress Goods on the other, and an important counting-room at the end, of the sec-tion, the Linens were smothered and belittled, though all the time we had cases andcases of linens exactly like those that Mr.Stewart's old consignors used to send out to

him in great quantities—

all beautiful goods, that we kept packed away for want ofroom to show them.

HORSECAR KILLS CHILD.While playing in the street yesterday Annie Par-

rella. three and one-half years old. of No. 215 Mott-st . wag run over and killed by an eastboundSprlng-st. horsecar at Spring and Mott sts. Thestreet was crowded with Italians and hundreds ofpersons saw the accident.

The baby had been playing with several com-panions and ran underneath the horses. The driverMatthew Lennon of No. 58S Grand-st.. applied thebrake and (".id ail he could to prevent the wheelsfrom passing over the child's body, but the mo-mentum of the car was too great. A crowd gath-ered around th* car. but there was no demonstra-tion against the driver. He was locked up on atechnical charge of homiclda.

I^rsch had been employed as a modelmaker forFisher *Bonn, monument makers. Xlneteenth-stbetween Third and Fourth aye*.. Brooklyn.

He Had Been Out of Work and Drank Car-bolic Acid.

Lynbrook. Long Island. July IP.—The body of aman, believed to have been Charles Lorsch. of No.861 Eighteenth-st.. Brooklyn, was found in thewoods near this place to-day. Abottle which con-tained «ome whisky and a vial which had containedcarbolic acid were found beside the body. Thesuicide Is supposed to have been out of work andfailing to obtain employment, went on a spreewhich lasted about twenty-four hours and endedin self-destruction.

The following resolutions were adopted at to-nigth's meeting of the league.

The young Methodism of North America, as rep-resented in this convention of more than 20.000 dele-Kates, reflects the spirit and voices the sentimentof 2,000,000 Epworthiars.

Our deliberations have known no differences.Our Intercourse Is a delight. Distance and na-tional boundaries are incidental. We wish to loveour country, our rulers and our flag; yet we are somade one in Christ that all several interests mergeInto His kingdom and all souls blend in commonkinship.

V.'c rejice in the continued growth and increasingusefulness of the young peoples' societies of theChurches. V'e are grateful 0 Almighty God forthe marvellous successes which have come to theEpworth League since the last International con-vention at San Francisco. The experience cf theyears gives increasing evidence of the adaptati >nof the plans of the Epworth League to the spiritand polity of Methodism.

As In the past, we stand for the broadest Chris-tian fraternity. We hail with special satisfactionevery opportunity for practical co-operation withour young people's societies In Christian ministryand service.

The Epworth League is not merely a young peo-ple's movement, neither is it to be looked upon asa separate department of the Church. It aims tobo an embodiment of all the activities of ourChurch, a complete manifestation of the spirit ofour common Methodism.

First in importance among questions claimingour attention we place the systematic and devoutstudy of the Scriptures, both for our own spiritualgrowth and to srlve fitness for soul winning. Weconsider ourselves called to the work of personalevangelism, and we enjoin all our members to enterthe fields now white for harvest. We stand for apresent, an abundant and a conscious salvation, asessential to that power of witnessing which winsmen. We thus send out to the young hosts of ourunittd Methodism this appeal for prayer— a holywaiting at the morning watch, a pleading of thepromises of the open book for a revival, whichmay mean to the twentieth century what the re-vival of Wesley was to the eighteenth century andto the world.Epworth Leaguers, let us to our knees that wemay wield the Spirit's blade.

To us, as to the young people of no other ageccmes the trumpet call. "Go ye all into all theworld." and go we must, for. lifting up our eyes,we behold In many lands Gospel opportunities rap-idly becoming Gospel emergencies.

To remain ignorant or indifferent to the causoof missions is to sin against light and to ignorethe will of God. We, a part of Christ's great army,place at His instant disposal our means, our ser-vice and ourselves, that the world may he evan-gelized in our generation.

The gigantic iniquity of the Anglo-Saxon race isa fostering of the monstrous traffic in intoxicantsWe believe the complete disenfranchisement of thebusiness will abolish dangers that threaten us andclear up problems that perplex us.

This whole evil organization Is a fountain of in-iquity whose streams poison wherever they flowIthas no redeeming feature. Itis an environmentof perdition; hence we set our faces against thisenemy of God, and will give It no quarter In sociallife. In politics—in fact, nowhere, until it is rele-gated to its own place.

We regard the Christian Sabbath as the bulwarkof defence for our Christian institutions To dese-crate the Sabbath endangers everything of impor-tance to the Church of God.

We recognize ourselves as stewards of God's es-tate: we urge upon all our members such an ad-ministration of that estate as those who expect togive an account The calls of the kingdom aremandatory and definite. Hence, we acknowledgeourselves bound by the law of systematic and pro-portionate giving

We are citizens and patriots, as well as Chris-tians. Hence, we record ourselves as upholders oflaw and order always and everywhere, as againstall lawlessness and unlawful violence.

BROOKLYNITE SUICIDE AT LYNBROOK.

Stuart, ofCleveland, Term., stirred the gathering to a highpitch of enthusiasm with his exhortations, inter-spersed with anecdotes and stories.

A general strike of knee breeches makers, orderedby the Knee Breeches Makers' Union, for the re-newal of the agreement of last year with the con-tractors, went Into effect yesterday. Sunday is thebeginning of the working week on the East Side,but not a machine was moving in any of {he con-tractors' shops, so far as the making of kneebreeches was concerned.

Inall, about twenty-five hundred knee breechesmakers quit work. They were employed by eightycontractors in Manhattan, twenty-five in Brooklynand sixteen in Brownsville. The strikers madetheir headquarters in a hall at No. 73 L.udlow-st.,where 1... Wiesefeld, the strike leader, and othersmade speeches in Yiddish, the gist of which wasthat the strikers were the worst paid and mostmiserable people in the city. The strikers, wholooked cheerful, applauded vigorously.

The demands of the strikers are expected to begranted.

afternoon at 5 i 'dock, and were royally greetedby more than two thousand of their friends, par-ents, wives and sweethearts. The men were en-thusiastic over their experience at the army post,and stamp it as the • pleaaantest and mostprofitable camp tour the regiment ever had.

The regiment struck camp on Plum Island at10:30 a. m. and marched to the south pier, whereth" steamer Greenport was waiting for the menar.d their baggage! The boat was loaded in lessthan an hour, and at 12:30 o'clock reached Gr«..-port. Long Island. There two special trains of theLong [aland Railroad were waiting, and the menray they broke the record In loading each train l.ifrom five to seven minutes. After an uneventfultrip the trains reached the Bedford-aye. station. inBrooklyn, at 4:30 o'clock. From there the regimentmarched to the armory. Colonel David E.

camp on Plum Island, where such officer* and menwtl * desired could remain or to which they couldreturn later In the summer. This idea was given

tip. however, on account of the poor facilities forgoing to and from the island.

Captain Stewart, of Battery A, speaking of theweek of camp lif«at the army reservation, paid:

"Vlall enjoyed It first rate. You couldn't finda healthier place. The air is good and the water

We fired twice as\u25a0way «hou as we did two ye^rs ago at Fort Wright,ar.d we did it in three-quarters of the time."

Boroo of the privates were complaining that they

didn't gat enough to eat in camp. Not many ofthem, however, would admit It, although they allraid they were ravenously hungry and intendedto hurry' home to get a "good square meaL"

Colored Minister Declares Negroes Turn to

Crime Because They Cannot Get Work.

The Rev. Horace Miller,a colored Methodist mln-ffter, preached a sermon in the Mount Tabor Meth-

odist Episcopal Church Mission, at No. 67 -WestOne-hundred-and-thirty-fourth-st., last night, In

which he put all the blame for the criminality anddegraded condition of the colored race on the whitepeople. The title of the sermon was. "CriticalPhases of Colored Life."

"From the time the colored race received theirliberty." paid the clergymen, "the white people

\u25a0tailed to defame the name of the colored man andwoman. As soon as the negro became free thewhites began to fasten on him a reputation not

bis own and called him a bestial criminal. Ihavedevoted years of study to the question, and Ifindthat the negro is not a whit more a rapist than thewhite man. Not 10 per cent of the crimes chargedup against the colored man are due to him alone,

"No race needs a higher education than the negro.

so that he may become an independent man andthink for himself. The negro has all rights to aneducation, but these rights are being called intoquestion by the whites. The negro is becoming

more criminal than ever because he cannot get any

work. Ifhe does get work the pay Is such that iti« not sufficient for him to live. If the South hadSjven the negro an honest dollar for an honestday"* work, or even an honest half dollar, thenegroes would not flock to New-York to becomecriminal. Ifthe Southern farmer had not paid thenegro helper in molasses and brown sugar thenegro would have been contented to remain, andl\u25a0\u25a0 to day would gladly go hack to the South IfholouM pet paid an honest day's wages.

\u25a0 The quickest way to solve the negro problem isto employ the negro. Ninety-five per cent of thecriminals .ninnp them would then disappear. Iknow a colored man—a good penman and a finebookkeeper— who answered a number of applica-tions for help. He got a number of answers ask-ing him to call He did so, but In nearly everyta.se, as soon as he was seen to be a negro, he wasturned away, and often with curses. Many, manynegroes seek work, cannot get it and turn crimi-nals from self-preservation. They?.. are criminalsbecause they cannot fret work. The*Whites are re-pponslble because they hold the positions the ne-groes ould nil, and they willnot give them up."
