_Of what is this organization composed?_

This organization is composed entirely of Negro Baptists, and is said
to be the largest Baptist organization in the world.

_How many colored men and women are employed by the city of Pittsburg,
Pa.?_

The city government of Pittsburg, Pa., gives employment to 233 colored
persons, 23 of whom are in the police department as clerks, patrolmen,
turnkeys, etc., and 9 are clerks in the courthouse.

_Who was the first colored man elected judge in Florida?_

Hon. Joseph E. Lee, of Jacksonville, Fla., enjoys the distinction of
being the first Negro to be elected to a judicial office in that
state. He is a lawyer of high repute, and has served in the
Legislature of his state for many years. He was elected city judge of
Jacksonville in 1887, and has been collector of customs there for some
time. He will doubtless serve in that capacity under the incoming
administration.

No colored man in all the South is more highly esteemed for his

he is known. He is the inventor of Key's Liniment, so widely known and
used all over the Southern States.

County, Tenn., May 1, 1888, and was reared and educated by Dr. William
Key. Seven years of close attention were given to his education. He is
a graduate, and is said to be the finest scholar of the equestrian
race, or possibly in the animal kingdom.

He gives all the symptoms of the common diseases to which the horse is

collects the money, makes the correct change (when needed), and puts
it in the cash drawer as correctly as any clerk.

He takes a silver dollar out of a full bucket of water without
upsetting the bucket or drinking a drop of the water.

He delivers mail correctly, allowing any person to call for it by
number.
