for Injustice to The Colored Race..
NEW YORK, June 1-(Spe0iu1)__
'Phat 3,284 men women and childfron have been lynched in thin country in the last ,q.ula\‘te'r of s, century was i/he assertion of Mrs. Ida Barnett at the Nutional Negro' Conference, by 5, Christian 'nwt-ion.
Mrs. Barnett quoted Temple Graves as saying that the m-ob stands as the most potent bulwark between the wo- men of the south and' such a carnivali
of crime as would* precipitiate the ami- nihllabion of the negro race. All know this is untrue, Mrs. 'Bar- nett said. The lynching record* diu- closes the hypocrisy oi the lynchers. Describing the riots at Springfield,
Mrs. Barnétt said it wasn alh because a white woman said that a negro man had assaulted her.
Later the woma-n published a re-
traction-, but the ]yncher's victims were dead.

HALIFA-X, May 31--Rev. Dr. J. W.
Mi.-Millan, who recently caime from Winnipeg to take pastoral charge of St. Matthefw’s Prebyterian church,
is a minister who apparently intends his service as he des res it, even at the expense of a sensation. At the service last ,night he gave out the hymn Nearer My God to Thee, saying- he wished everybody -to join in the singing. The organist chose an \in- usual tune for the words. After one verse had been sung Dr. McMillan raised his hand and stopped the sing- ing, saying: "Now, look hc-re; wc'll stop that righlt away.It.'s a very beautiful tu-ne but I want t/he old tune, please."
The organist o-l,c"c‘ the mandate,
but he 'plulyed the old' time to Nearcr My God' to Thee at such a' rn-pid tempo that the people found' it al- most as unfamiliar as the tune- which had been suppressed, and the church authorities may halve some- thing to say about it when they
meet.

There recently arrived in this city
a gentleman who has' seen probably more of the sporting side of life than any other person in the world at large.

R. J. Coles of Danville Virginia,
dealer in Virginia Tobacco Leaf is the personage in question, and the| stories he has to tell, and best of all' can prove, are exceedingly interest- ing to say the leant.
He is n short, thick set man, and
so extremely modest, nod- retiring, that when interviewing him al repor- t-er finds it needful to exert his wits to the utmost in order to glean any information from the king of sport- ing life.
He is fortunate enough to be thu
owner of a magnificent yacht' thor- oughly equipped iln every way for all msmnur of sport. _
Recently Mr. Coles spent five wveks
in the Atlantic Ocean capturing the enonmous inhabitants of the deep, including great man eating sharks, saw fish and giant sting rays.
The last narmed is probably the
most ferocious and 'd'angerous~ of all sea inhabitants, and is thu most dreaded by fisherman. Thu sting ray has. for al weapon of defense a long tail many' feet -fn length with which it strlcks the body of a vict/i'm. It then uses its stin-gers which sro dead- ly poison. Many days were also spent in harpooning large turtles.
One wosk of the cruise was spent
about seventy miles southwest of Morehead City, in New river e/nd its branches, and also in Stump Sound- catching glargie-'mouth bass, shooting alligators, and in exploring some very interesting Indian mounds from which he received a very rare collec- tion of the bones and skulls of the pre-historic Red Mmn, and some very ancient pieces of pottery.
During this trip Mr. Coles was for- tunate enough to capture el smell. ,thou genuine sea serpent. It may

been for cod and trout, and herc as elsewhere good luck has ever b.~ n with him.
