which will throw In tho ahade all former
pictures of freedom." Yes, that would
bo a picture for immortality. Hut have
we tho beginnings of such a picture? No.
On tho contrary, tho Kpincopallans In Vir
ginia und South Carolina are shuttling so as
to set tho negro apart and luavo him largely
to his own w ays. Aud all tho othor bodies of
Christians, except the Itouiim Catholics,
aro shuflling out of their responsibility, ac
cording to tho Gospels which they profass
aro their guides, and linvo acpnrutcd tho
nc'k'ro ninl put lilra apart in spito of tho
promiso of tho God they worship that I la
is no respecter of persons. And ho with
many men in civil life they aro shuflling
and trying to get tho mass of tho people
to slido out of their responsibilities to tho
negro. And wtiat aro their rexponsibilities
and what is their duty? The negro has
boon entsilod upon us by tho groud
and cupidity of our forefathers. In intro
ducing African slavery and perpctuuting
it they introduced and porpetuatcd a
cursu. Washington wurnod thorn and
prodicted that Virginia would bo tho gnr
den spot of tho continent whon slavery
was abolished. Jefferson also warnod
them, and seer-lika prodicted that it sla
very was not voluntarily abolished it
would go out In flro and bloodshed
and individual calamity. And sosluvory
went out. Hut the negro is horo and is
hero to stay, llo Is a freo man and
possesses every constitutional guurantoo
and rliiht that the whilo uiun possesses.
This giiHrnuteo and those rights cannot bo
taken awsy from liiuu Why thon wasto
breath and timclndiscussiiitfwhntis pluin
ly Impracticable? Tho negro is our burden
and tho solution of tho question of his
future is our problem. Let us shoulder
our burden liku men of intelligence, de
termined to curry it honestly and houora
lily, slid to desl all tho more fairly by tho
negro Ih-imiiho Iio is still largely illiterate
and igiinrnut. And let us enter upon ttio
solution of the problem of his fuluro in the
spirit which Mr. Johnson bo nobly mau
I feats. It us tnsko tho education
and Christianiziition of tho negro a
chief work, and timo will bring tho
real. Tho negro was brought hero by theft
and outrage, llo cunuut bo driven out.
As wo hsvo said, ho Is hero lo stay, and
wo nuiht denl with lilm according to tho
golden rule, as wo would wish to bo dono
by if siuiilsrly placed.

CllATTAyOOOA AND THE TENNES
SEE. Tho exccllont paper by Mr. O. C. Mat
thews, managing editor of Tin Appeal,
which wo printed in our edition of last
Sunday, gavo our renders a very fair Idea
of the advantages of situation and near
ness to co.a1, iron and limo, which In a few
yoars aro to make Chattanooga, stimulated
by Ihe Tinuv, tho most important manufuct
uringconterirrthoHoiith. Coking coal and
iron lies all about its doors and limo ia ouo
of tho commonnst of tho common com
modities thai nature has strewn about
with so Invish a hand In tho toworing
mountains and beautiful valleys that are
drained by tho Tonnossoo Hiver. Dut as
necessary as tho ore, tho coul and tho flux
aro tho peopto who, by thoir enterprise,
pluck ami energy, have laid out on
a largo sculo and partly realised lu con
struction, a city that is full of promiso
from any point of viow, from tho bights of
THikout or any of tho villas that from tho
Chattanooga rungo overlook tho valloy so
famous in tho early history of tho Ptnto,
and later acquired a greater Importance
from tho battles in whicli Kosccruns and
Dragg conten led for mastery, and subso
quontly ltrngg and Grant. No ono who
has followed tho growth of communities
in tho United States can full to roalizo tho
possibilities and probabilities of growth of
this already renowned city. Nona of the
compoting cities or towns near it can stay
its progress or hinder its march to the
attainment of a groat destiny. Many of
tho buildings, tho churches and school
houses are so niuuy proofs that tho dreams
of tho most sanguitio aro to bo realised,
and within a generation. Tho public im
provements lu tho suburbs, as well as in
tho city, are to tho sumo offect, but the
sanitary arrangements, though thoy fol
low In the lines so distinctly laid
down In other and largcrcitios and though
presently a great relief aro, wo fear, to givo
trouble in tho future. The sewers aro
modern In construction and drain both
thn street and the household w sates read
ily, hut thoy drain into tho Tennessee
Kivor snd must In lime silt up the bod of
that noble stream, especially at tho bond
at the hoao of Ixxikout Mountain, and
thus crento an intolerublo nuisance and
ono that would impair, if it did not destroy
tho ruluo of that mountain as a sanitarium.
Then, too, it w ill destroy tho water for any
of the purposes of tho communities below,
as Knoxville must eventually poison It
beyond any safo use by tho people of
Chattanooga, It It docs not render
it Impure, even now. Tlie Ohio Hiver
is a polluted stream tho whole way
from I'ittsbiirg H Cairo and is unsafe for
human uso. This was proven by the
provslonce of typhoid fever at Cincinnati
last fall and winter in epidemic foim,
traceable to the river water contaminated
by sewsgo. The Cpper Mississippi la
nearly as bad and iiuiat eventually, a tho
cilirsgrow and now once are built, bo qulto
as bad. At tho Hygienic Congress held in
Yi. ii ns in 1s7, M. r.rouardel stated that
he knew of over sixty epidemics of typhoid
fever whhh had.brcn induced by infected
drinking water. As lr. Chsrlca G. Cur
rier, ol New York, said in a psr read
last April before Ihe fVclion on Public
Health of the New York Academy of Mod-
lyaxL "PUIuted water tusy be agreeable
I sto and have no viaible sediment.
unskilled are slow lo suspect, and but for
the advance lu sanitary science and tho
warning conveyed by tboao familiar
with livglcnlc studies, puro supplies
of drinking wsterln ritiee would lie much
more of a rarity than they are." Tlie same
author tells us that tho tin bldity which is us
ually manifested by all streams snd rivers
lu tli b spring is no gusraiitce of a curative
procru. On the contrary, it is "lin.t si
ways Bccotupanicd by largn number of
haclcris. The inching snow sn I the rain,
which wash into llie streams nn Increased
amount of organic matter, Introduce with
it other k"' ins and bring innro nutriment
than uxual lo Ihe inicro orgniiisiiis sires ly
in lbs wster, thus increasing their vitality
snd numbers," And lr. Currier proves
llie corrertncaii of bis position by samples
of the wster of the Miaxhwippl snd other
livers flowing Into tho Atlantic. Hut, in
addition to this, we hsvo the testimony of
a Itnyal (laiglinh) CoinuilMi.iu, which ex
tended Its Investigations over s crlol of
ten vcara slid fortifying their iuveatigii
tious by tho leatlmouy of noted engi
neers snd sanitary experts, declared
wllh iKvlliveiieas sml emphasis that
Ihey could not ilu.l in tho Isrput
rlvtrs In Great l'.rnnln that wnter
punned llarlf III any given dinlsnce. It la,
then fore, of Ihe flral importance lo so en
lerpiistug a city aa Chattanooga that it
should find a subatliuto In the crematory
lor Its street snd household wsates, and
that it should also find some other source
of supply lor w slur lor household puriKes.
Chattanooga ia alill young, aud csn still,
without any grcst additional rxxnsc,
avail IUm II ol all tho iiiosl modern means
or lis sanitary safety. Nothing will BO
inuc,c contribute to its growth as this, and
interested as we are In the young giant of
tho Eastern part of the State, we make the
suggestion of cremation as the only chan
nel and moans of absolute safety for the
health and lives of a coming groat indus
trial population.
"SOMETHING TO HAPPEN."
United States Men-of-War Ordered Into
Service,
Nkw Yons:, Juno 0. "Something is go
ing to happen, and pretty quickly, too,"
was in everybody's mouth Tuesday night
at the lirooftytj Navy Yard. The first
lieutenant of I tho steel cruiser Atlanta
found hlmsolf In tho afternoon in com
mand of a large body of mon who bad
boon hastily ordered to "turn to" and
assist In got ting tho Atlanta out of dry
dock.
Tho order received was that tho Atlanta
must bo out yesterday morning and that
Iho cruiser lioston must go in dock nt ouco.
Wliut this suddon activity moans nobody
appears to know, but it is thought some
thing imortant Is in tho wind when it
becomes necessary to work by night in
order to got a vessel ready for going out of
dock.
Those proceedings nro decidedly myster
ious. Home of tlie naval olUcers suspect
that I tin condition ol allairs in llaytl
means work foi tho cruisers. It is said
that tho authorities nt Washington fosr
rioting ss a result of LegiUmo's downfall
and believe that Atnaricun intervals will
bo greatly joopardited. Tho Osiippe is
tho only American vessel In Iluytiun wa
ters aud should riot aud bloodshed run
rifo in the island, nothing short of a pow
erful force could savo the lives of tho
foreigners.
Tlie fact of tho Hoslon being ordored
Into dock appears to naval ollieors conclu
sive that bIio is neoded for a cruise, and
that the cruixo is a very suddon ono.
After the length of timo tho lioston has
been lying at tho navy yard doing no
service tho ordor for cleaning her bottom
could bo prompted only by a desire to
uiuko her moot ellicieut for fast ateuming.

High Executioner to mentally vow to

her to plensv mid delight her audience
as never before, assembled at Jackson
Mound Hark last night to witness the
people's favorite comic oiera, "Mikado."
J'ho oK-ra was wel1 presented, and tho

dence of the popularity of the company.
Miss lliiryea bus recovered from her re

boon soon within its walls,
Tlie high contracting parties to tho in
teresting ceremony were Miss Flov, tho
only daughter of Judgo and Mrs, J. T.
Latham, and Mr. Lawrence Simpson, two
popular young people who have boon
reared and educated within our midst.
Tho Rev. J. W. Ingram, pastor of the
church whore the nuptial knot was tiod,
olliciutcd In his clerical capacity on the oc
casion, aidod by the Rev. David Walk,
formorly pastor of the same church.
It Is quite safe to assert that nolthor of
the distinguished clergymon who figured
so conspicuously last night ever performed
the marriage ceremony before a largor
audience and more crowdod edifice, or
upon a couple who enter upon thoir mari
tal career under moro felicitous circum
stances. The prominence of Judge Latham In
the business and social circles of this city,
the popularity of Mrs. Latham and the
cleverness of thoir only daughter render
this msrriago or union of hearts and
bands more than a plain, matter-of-fact
allair, such as has been cdroniclod from
day to day throughout the past sosson,
and elaborate comment upon the event is
therefore apropos.
It has been perhaps two months since
the engagement of the young couplo bo
camo known to a limited circle, and a little
over half that timo since a knowledge of it
spread to the wido circle of friends of the
partios concerned as woll as among the
gosaips. Tlie luttor havo dealt with it in a
moot lavish manner, and to tell all that
has been retailed would fill a larger vol
ume than tho Uio of a tattler. It is only
necessary to explain that Miss Latham
and Mr. Simpson have loved each other
for a considerable period, that they mudo
their loudness for each other known to the
parents of the tnir lady, that do objection
was oflcrod, and that tho consummation of
their happiness culminated last night by
their connubial union at tho church in
which both have worshiped, in the pres
ence of a concourse of relatives, friends
snd acquaintances that crowded the edi
fice to its utmost capacity.
The details of llie wedding may bo
summed tip as follows: The cortego
started in carriages from Rosclawn, tho
beautiful borne of the bride and her
parents on Rayburn avenue. Arriving in
front of tbo church, on Lindon and Mul
berry streets, a mile and a half from the
starting point, a procession was formed by
the miuistorfl ana the attendants or ushers
taking the lead anil marching in pairs
down the right hand nislo to the chancel.
These included the Itev. Mr. Ingram, Rev.
Mr. Walk and Messrs. J. I. Edriugton,
Clark Knowlton, Wm. E. Gugo and Hugh
Itryson. Then came the special uiuid
of honor, tho beautiful Anna llrnce, ac
companied by Mr. Edwiyda. Following
were six pretty (lower girls, Misses l.ills
Morton, Eugenia Martin, Itcssie Fulls,
Mattio Fontaine. May Hoist, and May
Tom Peters. Next camo tho groom,
marching solons, and Iho lovely bride, the
cynosure of sll ryes, brought up tho rear.
Ihe Isdy, who is knowu as of tlio Elira
bethian typo of beauty, moved with stale
ly tread, wliilo her modext mien won the
hearts of sll beholders. It seemed s pitv,
many said, to see tho radiant hridu-elcct
moving thus unattended, but she
bore herself bravely, and once
in front of tho altar she took her place lie
side the companion of her choice. Whilo
thus marching down tho aisle, tho organ
pealed forth that peaceful, nohlo melody
known as Mendelssohn's Nuptial March,
and during the ceremony "Call Me Thine
Gwii" was performod in dulcet strains,
adding to tho Interest of tho impressive
words of tho eloquent minister, who in
fitting seiilencs tiod the wedding knot
snd pronounced the couple man and wife.
Thau lr. Walk blessed the happy couple,
prayed briefly, snd alluded to "tho Srri
I ural admonition thst it is not good
for man to be alone, and then
tho party marched out by Iho
left hand aisle, thn bndo and groom arm
in arm, and tho remainder ol tho psrlics to
tho ceremony followed, Ihey ia turn being
followed by the audience. The entire
ceremony did not occupy ten minutes, snd
st Iho door as tho newly married pair
emerged they were showered with con
gratulations bv a himt of hourly (riouds.
After that the party entered csrriugcs
and were driven to the residence of JnJgo
aud Mrs. laitliaui, where tho bridal veil
snd faille silk en train at tiro was donned,
to bo replaced by a traveling cost u uio
for tho bride, who, accompanied
bv her spouao, started for the
Memphis A Cbnrleaton IVpot, where tho
MM o'clock trutil was taken (or thn East.
Tho honeymoon is to be paused on a bridal
lur of four or live weeks among the cities
of the F-iaL I'pon tho return ol llie cou
ple lo tins city they will lake up their
residenen among us. Mr. Minimon will
resume his duties as Secretary of the Arte
sian Water Company, a responsible txml
lion ol (rust, which he has occupied for
sevsrsl years past.
It would bo out of the quest leu lo (lo
se n I ki tho floral sdornmeiiisol the church,
snd it must suflice lo ssy that il sceim-d
like a perfect bank of lovely rosea. This
wss especially tho esse in snd around tlio
allnr, w here wedding bells ol Mowers were
iM'iidiinl and Moral wish bone was conspic
uous. A douhlo heart of blooding rows
sd.led lo the attractions of the scene; pil
Isis msde of the grsnJ magnolia, in
tertwined with laurel and cedar,
won high cncominins, and a hot
of designs too numerous snd too pro
fuao to even mention, were admired
and spread forth a wealth of fnigrnn.o
which inado many express themselves in
ecs'acieaol delight. The work of adorn
ment was performed by the Indies ol
the church in compliment lo the bride,
w ho has long been a tnucb admired mem
ber of Iho choii, and w hoso sweet soprsno
voice lias contributed, liberally toward Ihe
rendition ol Iho hymns ol the church In a
plowing manner.
For tho lost two or thro years the fair
bride of last night has been a reigning fa
vorite in society. Hie ia winning, clever
and impulsive, with a kind word lr every
body, aud she Is gifted with a delicacy of
manner that bos always csuscd her to
meet s cordial welcome at gatherings and
niorry-iuskings. Her laco is of thst pecul
iar sivlu ol beauty that has always moved
mankind moro 'than Iho moot regular
features. It Is a sweet, wouisnly face the
face of a woman to be trusted and relied
upon, aa well as -tenderly loved.
Mio possesses a rich complexion, which
adds charm lo the original effect, and
her splendid hesd of rippling hair, ss be
fore noted, of Elissbethisn liur, clusters
around a face always brightly animated.

And Twenty More Are Threatened
With Annihilation.

.It Ia Difficult To Oet Any News,
Much Less the Details
of the Fire.
Seattle, W. T., June C. Flro broke
out at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon iu the
Poutius building, on Front street, and by
4:30 o'clock was raging over a district of
five or sis blocks with tremendous fury.
Tho wind was from the north and tho '
direction of the Are was along tho water
on Front street and from tho water front
to the big brick block bctweon Columbia
and 6au Francisco streets. The indica
tions were that tho whole business portion
of the city would be swept away, involv
ing a loss of millions. Tho magnificent
Sun Francisco store and other stores in the
row were on flio, and tho whole block
soeinod doomed. Tho local flrcmeu were
helpless in tho face of the calamity and
telegraphed in all diroctiona for aid, r
At 4:30 o'clock p.m. tho conflagration
was rushing through tho heart of the city.
To add to tho peril, a smart brcuzo began
blowing off tbo bay, fanning tho names,
and about tbo samo timo a thousand feet
of hose wss caught In tho advancing blazo
and destroyed. Tbo Opera-House block,
tlie block opjKito, oil the warehouses at
tho foot of Columny street and also the
great group of buildings in the roar of the
rvtt'liihlliijrnc newspaper ofllco are now
burning. Tho pooplo in tho Yestcr Rlock,
occupied by tho Western Union Telegraph
Company aud tho Pwl-LtUUujtnet, were
hurriedly moved out. At this hour the
Western Union bad only one wlro undis
turbed, over which this itotu is being sent.
At 0 o'clock p.m. thirty-one blocks bad
been burned iu the very hoart of tho city,
and there is Imminent danger of the loss
of about twenty blocks moro. Tho Ore
was not at all under control, and had
reached the great coal bunkers. Hiould
theso be destroyod tho flames would cer
tainly be communicated to a largo numtxir
of wooden buildings, and the loss in
creased many fold, r-'even millions of dol
lars bus already been loit by tho lire.
