necessary to teach southern people that
intermarriage between whites and
blacks is a racial crime? For, in the
final analysis, that is the real motive
of the play. Thirty years ago, at the
north, a public lesson of this kind
might have done some good in certain
quarters. If any real good can result
from it now, It has not yet been satis
factorily pointed out. A bright young
unmarried woman of Raleigh was in
dignant that anybody should think that
,' she as a southern girl could learn any
thing from a play like that.
It has been said that the play is an
answer to Uncle Tom's Cabin. If that
is so, the answer comes when the ques-"

just now, it's a puzzle.
That is, it's a puzzle to try to pre

at this time, when no one seems to
know exactly where he is at. His best

Mr. John P. Heap, discussing the
mortality among negroes in Washing

York in the National Magazine, gives,
figures to show that, although the
white population of those cities is al
most twenty times as great as the col
ored, the average percentatge of mor
tality is 19 for the former race and 31
for the latter.

of this state of affairs that the negro
