NEGRO SOLDIERS NOT
WANTED IN VERMONT.
The action of the -war department
In stationing the Tenth Cavalry reg-
ment "which is one of the negro regi-
ments of the army at Port Ethan
Allen near Burlington Vermont
has aroused an outcry of protest on
the part of Burlington citizens which
Is quite surprising in that old time
abolition center but which goes to
show that race prejudice is not con-
fined to any single section of the
country after all. Press dispatches
from Burlington record the fact that
the coming of the negro troops to
Fort Ethan Allen has aroused more
excitement in Burlington than has
been seen there since ante-bellum
days when the abolition sentiment
was at its height in good old New
England. The following was wired
o tn Washington Fcst:
Burlington Vt. July 21. When
the War Department decided to quar
ter 1200 colored troops at Fort
Ethan Allen near here it stirred
more excitement .than this town has
seen since it was wrought up on the
abolition question just before the
civil war.
kMore than half of the restaurants
in town where the colored soldiers
have been seen to eat- have been
?oycotted by white people and sep-
rate street cars are being urged.
This is the first instance where this
number of- colored! troops have been
quartered in the North or even east
of the Mississippi river.
The following Associated Press
dispatch sent out from New York co-
incides with the Burlington dispatch:
New York July 21. A dispatch
to the Times says that Burlington
VU one of the strongest centers of
abolition sentiment before the Civil
Wax is considerably wrought up
over a decision of the War depart-
ment to quarter 1200 negro cavalry-
men at Fort Ethan Alien three" miles
away. White people have refused to
eat in restaurants with some of the
negro soldiers already there and citi-
zens of the city and Winooski a
town near the fort are demanding
separate cars for whites and blacks
on the trolley road.
That these dispatches reflect the
true sentiment of the people of Bur-
ington is shown by the editorial ex-
pression of the Burlington Free Press
an old and conservative paper which
The streets of Brownsville are
brightly illuminated these beautiful
moonlight nights. Never mind about
the electric light plant but make the
best of it while the moon shines.
Try the religion of good nature of
kindly feeling for your fellow man
or-optmristle "looking on the bright
side." It will do more-for you thani
all the cults andisms that occupy the.
meditative moments of too many o'f
the dwellers of the land. If you- can
find contentment you will not need
any science or ism to mend your ills.
you won't have any ills. Try it.
A FURNITURE FACTORY
FOR BROWNSVILLE.
Harlingen Architect Proposes to Es
tablish One Here to Use Hard
Woods of Mexico.
To The Herald.
Harlingen Texas July 25. Mr.
Chas. Winn the prominent architect
of this place is interested in the locat-
ing of a furniture factory in Browns
ville and it is understood has al
ready submitted a proposition to the
commercial club of that city. It is
the intention to make use of the
large andconvenient supply of Mexi-
can mahogany rosewood and ebony
in case the decision is made to lo-
cate in Brownsville and the location
is undoubtedly well chosen. The
good quality and large supply of
these woods both in Mexico and on
this side of the river has been already
commented upon in The Herald but
so iar as is Known this is the first
bona fide proposition for a factory to
convert this wood into useful articles.

TWO OF THE CUB PLAYERS
President Ebbetts of Brooklyn Oilers
Small Fortune for Shortstop
and Center Fielder.
saxs:
"The decision of the War Depart-
ment to quarter the 10th Cavalry
all the troopers in which are negroes
in northern Vermont marks a prece-
dent in disposition of black soldiers.
It is the first time negro troops have
been quartered in New England
the first time in fact that soldiers of
color have been sent to any post
east of the Mississippi. If the govern-
ment officials after their trouble with
Brownsville and other posts thought
the extreme north would make no ob-
jection to the presence of so large
a body of negroes they were in error.
A southerner could hardly be more
up in arms than this city and Winoo-
eki are today."
Thus Burlington and Brownsville
though all this Avide country lie be-
tween them are not so far apart in
sentiment after all. The theory of
social equality vanishes before the
stubborn outcropping of race preju-
dice old probably as the Anglo-Sax
on civilized race itself wmcn win
result from any attempt to put the
theory into practice. '
President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn
ilub says he would like to buy two
utavs from the world's champion Chi
cago Cubs and wou!d gladly psy $25-
000 for them or if necessary would
give President Murphy a blank check
and permit him to name his own fig
ures. The Brooklyn magnate declined
to come out flatly and name the twe
tuos ne wants but did say that a
shoitstop and a center fielder were the
positions on his team which he wished
most to fin. This would mean J01
Tinker and Artie Hcfman.
"Give me a pitcher a catcher a
shortstop and a center fielder all of
stellar caliber and I will quickly build
up a championship " ball club" said
Mr. Ebbetts the other day. '"Those
four positions are in my opinion the
pivotal ones of a bail club. All the
others may be considered of secondarj
Importance. I have now on the Brcok-
!yn team half of the requisites. Con.
sidered in this light with my star
pitchers and a grand cairhAiv in Billy
Bergen I have now to fill in the Ean
at short and put in a center Heldei
who can roam about in the suburbs
and help out the ether two fielders
and the Brooklyn club would quickly
become a contender in the league pen-
nant race.
"We are trying to build up a good
team here but it is the hardest kind
of a preposition. To get gems out of
the miners is next to impossible and is
always a lottery at b?sL Clubs having
etar men will not let them go to the
weaker clubs for tbey know ther own
teams would thereb b3 weakened.
But if we could fill those two posi-
tions no price would he too great to

President Ebbetts also intimated
that he would be glad to get Jimmy
Sbeckard back again if such a thing
were possible though he realized the
tope! essn pes of making any proposi-
tion to the Chicago management.
"That dca by which Sheckard went
to Chicago was a good one for both

made" said he "but we could use
Sheckard to good advantage now.
