The first Christian church congrega
tion lost out In Ita lawsuit at Lincoln
against the Northwestern Life Insur
ance company. It secured a small
judgment, for $77,30, where It asked
lor $1,995. The Northwestern filed a
"iiiuii iui u nun 11 mi, iuvjii nu utui-
Jjihlcd. Years ago, when the hoom time
"Was on, the congregation built a costly
edifice at Fourteenth and K streets In
Lincoln. It was compelled to borrow
$17,000 from Uie Northwestern com
pany, and when the hard times came
tho congregation was compelled to al
low the church to go under the ham
mer. The company had to talco It, and
Htlll owns It. Some time ago tho
church brought suit against tho com
pany, claiming $1,995 damages for con
"verelon, it being claimed that tho life
insurance people had no right to tho
boiler, 25 radiators, C9 church pows,
14 two-light gas fixtures, 9 one-light
fixtures, 1 three-light and 1 four-light
fixtures, and a 38-lIght combination
cliandoller. Tho case turned upon
whether these articles were put In ns
permanent fixtures and thereby became
a part of the realty. Tho congregation
insisted that the mortgage covered
only tho building, and not theso fix
tures, but the court held that where it
-was not proven that they were only
of a temporary character, and to bo
taken away later, he must find them
to bo a part of tho realty. By this
course of reasoning he figured that the
chandelier was a part of the building,
while the gas-light fixtures wero not.

NEGRO DIALECTS.
More Than Fifty Varieties Spoken by
Colored Folks In Different
I'artn of the South.
A patron of. cakewalks or an admlrei
of cakewalk music might bo justified In
not thinking so, but the fact is that there
aro moro than 50 separate, dialects
among the colored population of the
south, says the New York Sun.
Auyono who has travelled through
tho tidewater counties of Virginia Is
awaro that tho speech of tho negro popu
lation there differs materially from that
used In the cotton fields of Alabama. The
singsong speech of the camp meeting
negro from tho hilly part of northern
Georgia differs essentially from thosol't
er and moro melodious speech of the
Louisiana negroes from the region of
canebrakes and rice fields.
The negro race in tho south Is es
sentially Imitative, and hi Louisiana,
whoro the reminders of French occupa
tion are many, tho French accsnt and
Intonation are preserved. In South
Carolina, which has, relatively, the
largest negro population, thero are
found in tho tidewater counties the
Guinea negroes whose dialect Is has been
found difficult for many visitors to un
derstand. In southern and southwestern Mis
souri tho negro djalect differs entirely
from what It is elsewhere In the south,
and In tho Indian Territory, where there
Is a considerable negro population, many
Indian phrases and Indian mtthads of
speech have become incorporated in the
speech of tho colored population.
