Any man or woman who re
gards marriage only as “a side

death if I ant guilty.’* fcrir.m;
® ™d the fact that we have
heard prisoners make like re

understand how a guilty per
son could muster up courage
enough to make such a state

In one of the most sensible
addresses wo ever heard de
livered by a negro, the speaker
warned members of his race
'**in*t trying so hard to imi
tate the white folks. It is all

the examples of the whites
when the examples are good,
hut the imitation is not confined
•o good examples. For in
stance, at the marriage of the
nchest negro woman in New
York recently the cost was ov
er twenty thousand dollars.
Another case of useless extrav
agance brought about by try
ing to imitate white folks.
