THE negroes who came to North America had to undergo as complete a transition as ever fell to the lot of man without the least chance to undergo an acclimatizing process. They were brought from the hottest part of the earth to the region where the winter's cold is of almost arctic severity—from an exceedingly humid to a very dry air. They came to service under alien task-masters, strance to them in speech and in purpose. They had to betake themselves to unacustomed food and to clothing such as they had never worn before. Rarely could one of the creatures find about him a familiar face or friend, parent, or child, or an object that recalled his past life to him. It was an appalling change. Only those who know how the negro elves to all the dear, familiar things of life, how fond he is of warmth and friendliness, can conceive the physical and mental shock that this introduction to new conditions meant to them. The people of our own race it could have meant death. But these wonderful folk appear to have withstood the trials of their deportation in a marvelous way. They showed no peculiar liability to disease. Their longevity or period of usefulness was not diminished or their secundity obviously impaired. So far as I have been able to learn nostalgia was not a source of mortality, as it would have been with any Aryan population. The price they brought in the market and the satisfaction of their purchasers with their qualities shows that they were from the first almost ideal laborers and if we compare the Algonkin Indian, in appearance a surely fellow, with these negroes, we see of what stuff the blacks are made. A touch of housework and of honest toil took the breath of the aborigines away, but these tropical exotics fell to their tasks and trials far better than the men of our own kind could have done.—Prof. N. S. Shaler, in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. TOPEKA LOCALS The Indies Sewing circle of the A. M. E. church was entertained Wed... p. m. by the Trustee board at the residence of R. A.

THE LOCAL FEDERATION MAD The National Federation of Colored men of the United States and Canada met in their hall on last Wed., evening and denounced the method of white politicians lining up negro voters. The occasion of such action is brought about by a certain white politician promising a certain candidate to line up every negro vote for him in the 21st3rd and 4th ward of this city. In order to pull the wool over it, negroeyes it is claimed an organization has been perfected composed of negroes with a white man as chairman. The Federation at their meeting besides denouncing the method being conducted endorsed Squire Lee the colored candidate for constable by unanimous and cheering vote This is said to be one of the strongest negro organizations in the city. AMERICAN KANSAS CITY KAN., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 16 1900. A REQUEST TO THE COLORED PEO PLE OF THE WORLD-JOHN BROWN'S BIRTHDAY. May 9th., 1900, will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of my father, John Brown, called "The Liberator." It is my wish that the colored people of the United States shall unite in celebrating that day in a proper manner. One request I wish to make is, that on that day, that you, one and all—men, women and children, totally abstain from the entire use of all intoxicating drinks, whatsoever, and tobacco in all forms. it surely ought not to be a great hardship to 'ast from these' for one day to please me, the last and only surviving member of that little band who were gathered at Kennedy farm house to prepare for the raid on Harper's Ferry. Please try it for the benefit of future generations, and also to please your devoted friend. ANNIE BROWN-ADAMS. FINANCIAL REPORT KANSAS CITY KANS., Mar. 10, 1900.

By the warm friends of the race it is believed that if only a correct census were had, favorable conditions and ready, hopeful progress could be shown, by which their arguments would be proved and those of their traducers answered. Only once in ten years this opportunity comes to place themselves upon record, an opportunity too great to be lost by ignorance or indifference or unwarranted fear. Every Afro-American leader who has the true interest of his race at heart will enter upon earnest and persistent effort to teach them the scope and purpose of the coming census. He will explain that to be counted by the Federal Government is a right which cannot be taken away by any local or State government. All the facts reported are guarded by officials sworn to reveal no detail but simply to tabulate general results, the confidence of the individual being held sacred and inviolate. His replies to the enumerator cannot be made the basis of taxation or in any way be used to his harm. The questions asked of colored and white citizens are exactly the same; The main features are inquiries about name, age, relationship, birthplace, ability to read and whether the home is owned or rented. Questions concerning the occupation are of special importance. Colored persons engaged in agriculture should be prepared to report for the year 1899. Then when the enumerator comes asking the quantity, variety and value of the crops of that year, they will be ready. The thrifty housewife should reckon the proceeds of her dairy and poultry yard. The same duty rests upon those engaged in any sort of manufacture. Without fear they may impart all the details of their business to that sworn official of the General Government, who comes to them for information. "Nothing succeeds like success." Success of the negro proved by Federal census facts will give him a great impetus in his forward march. In the census he is a witness in his own behalf before a court which will render a verdict without fear or favor upon his own unquestioned testimony. If he lose this opportunity the loss will rest at his own door. The Census offle will treat him as it does every other American citizen. Rev. Geo. McNeal has began his revival services at Pleasant Green Baptist church success is attending his efforts Vote for J. K. Cubbinsen for State Senator. Vote for D. D.

PERKINS, Chairman. A. W. PECK, Secretary. Prof. Houry Mead the present Superintendent of Public Instruction is an aspirant for the honors of a second term at the hands of the old party in Wyandotte County. Prof. Mead has acquitted his duties in the office which he is now filling with credit to himself and the public. He is honestly entitled to a second term and we believe that he will be awarded the office again by the people who put competency, manhood, honesty and the true principles of Republicanism foremost in the political world. No one questions the statement that he has made other than a highly commendable official—then, the proper thing to do is give him the nomination and elect him for another term. STAND BY MR. HENRY LARSON d. Henry Larson, the Republican Nominee for councilman of the 2nd ward is a business man of a high order and is acquainted with the affairs of the city government.

We want old Kansas to roll up a majority for the Republican party that has never been heard of before in its career as a grand and magnificent state. There is no office that should be overlooked. The Republicans one and all should stand by every one of the party's nominees. Mr. Larson has established a most prosperous business in our midst has vast interest in the proper conducting of our city's affairs and will look after the affairs of the same with as much earnestness as he does his own business. Let every voter in the 2nd ward look to their best interest and vote for Mr. Henry Larson, MAYOR R. L. MARSHMAN, who seeks the honor of being the delegate to the National Convention in June at Philadelphia, ought earnestly receive the votes of the people, for his sterling qualities, his immense popularity, and because it would be but a proper recognition of a Mayor, the father of one of the most thriving cities in the state.

From the New York Tribune: "Will you have a cigar?" asked one man of another, carefully selecting one of three which he drew from his waist- coat pocket. He handed this one to his friend. The other man smiled an said: "I suppose this is the kind you buy to give away." "You might think so, but it isn't." rejoined the one who had given the cigar. "As a matter of fact, the one I gave you is much the best of the lot. I always give away the cigars of that brand which I receive. It's not because they are bad, but because they are good. This is how it is: For several years I have been buying my cigars of a dealer in Nassau street. I always get a kind which costs $10 a hundred. I am not overfond of the brand, but it is the best I can get for the money, and I feel that I cannot afford to pay more for my cigars. "For some time the dealer has been anxious to get me to smoke a cigar that costs $16 a hundred. He assures me that the difference between it and the one I get is far greater than the prices would indicate. Some of my friends also smoke this expensive cigar, and they assure me it really is exceptionally good. From time to time the dealer gives me one of the 16-cent kind to smoke, assuring me that if I will only try it I will buy no other. The truth is, I fear he is right, so I have absolutely resisted the temptation to smoke the gift cigars. Instead, I hand them some friend. That is one of them. Do you believe now that I gave you the worst?" The friend saw no further reason for doubting the cigar which he had resumed was the best of the lo The face of greeting a President without having plenty of "buttons" is not to be thought of.

Their decisions in Ari- zona frequently make the blind goddess shudder. A justice who was new tc the business of law proved himself equal to the emergency recently in Williams. It was a case where a pris- oner was brought before him charge with insanity. Several witnesses were examined, and it was conclusively Proved that he was insane, having re- fused to drink when Invited, and by .other similar actions having convinced those who knew him that he lad gone entirely wrong. After a brief examt- nation of the witnesses the justice leaned back in his chair, and, with ¢ look of profound wisdom on his face delivered himself of a decision as fol- lows: “Young man, it has been provec jthat you have done sundry things, ‘which said things have led me and the ‘rest of us to believe that you are | wrong in the garret; therefore, I, with \all the judicial power vested in me, dc hereby fine you $25 and costs, You ;may go now, but don’t let this happen .again.” Another instance that fitting- jly illustrates the fellow feeling of the paverage juror occurred tot long ago ‘A tough citizen, who had been absorb: ‘ing a decoction of liquid that would corrode the armor plate of the Oregon concluded that the town was getting ‘too tame. He picked up a rifle that ; Was standing behind one of the bars hc had been patronizing freely, and went jout into the street. A negro womar chanced to be passing that way, and he Droceeded to empty the contents of the tifle into ner body, then calmly re- turned the rifle to the barkeeper an¢ went to sleep. He was arrested ané tried before a jury in the District court The jury discovered that the man was troubled with “alcoholic insanity,” anc he was promptly acquitted and turnec loose. All courts of the territory are not conducted in this manner, but many of them are a parody on real courts of justice, The jury is apt tc take into consideration the fact of the prisoner at the bar being a “good fel- Jer” and act upon it rather than upor the facts. > MILLIONS LOST IN FIRES. Im One Forest Fire 1,000 Persons Are Tnown to Have Been Burned to Death. The actual cash damage done by for- est fires is hard to estimate. A com- mission has recently been appointed tc make a canvass, and has reported thai in the last twenty years in the Unitec States and British North America the damage has footed up $800,000,060. Ir the one year of 1880 a territory wa: burned which comprised at least 10,- 250,000 acres. The value of the forests alone was $25,000,000. And the year chosen was not one particularly notec for the frequency of its fires. The smoke from the frequent fires is sc thick that it renders the navigation o Puget sound dangerous. From the time of the occupation of the Indians to the present day there has been ¢ succession of these forest fires. Many states have forest laws, but they are not well enforced. The fruits of the carelessness and waste of the early set. tlers are now being gathered by theit descendants. When we think of sc powerful a factor for evil, moving at ¢ speed sufficient to overtake a horse on the gallop, it will be seen that prompt measures are necessary to protect what remains of our once proud and still ex- tensive forests. It is extremely diffi- cult to get anything but approximate figures concerning the number ot deaths resulting from forest fires, but isolated paragraphs tell something of the story. During the terrible fires of 1894 the town of Hinckley lost over 200 souls of its population. In 1871 the loss of life from the towns on the west shore of Lake Huron was over 6,000, and this territory was a mere tithe of the burned-over country. In the Minnesota fires of four years ago the villages lying on a line between Carlton and Pine City, where the flames took their course, 130 miles of territory, over twenty towns were wiped out, and in Carlton and Pine counties alone the loss of life was over 1,000 persons.—Detroit Free Press. | ‘The Bluf Alpenite. I like the bluff manner of men just raised from the ranks, says Rollin Lynde Hartt in the January Atlantic ‘Truce to convenience! My host sits, while I stand; half the guests in the hotel tuck their napkins down their ‘throats, as if prepared for a shave or ‘shampoo; strangers unpack their in- most souls, disembosoming themselves gratuitously of half their family his- tory.

Many a time and oft I have seen Tommy Atkins caressing Judy O'Grady on the top of the Mile End "bus; Avner Glenn sat for his tintype with his brawny arms wound close about pretty Rachel; both had their hearts on their sleeves.

A message travels over an oceaR AMERICAN TRANSVAAL FUND. Boers A pathetic appeal of the committee of Africander and Bond members of parliament was issued at Cape Town, Oct. 10, 1899, signed by Messrs, N. F. DeWaal, Joseph N. Hoffman, J. H. Hofiaeyr, Thomas P. Theron and D. J. A. Van Zyl, which says among other things: “What may, what can, we colonial Africanders do in this sorrowful time? Join in the work of warfare with the weapons? The law and our duty as British subjects forbid this, even should other circumstances not oppose such @ course of action. “But what neither the law nor the duty of the subject forbids, and what, moreover, agrees in every respect with all principles of religion and human- ity, is the offering of help to the Wounded, to the widows and the orphans.” In the name of the Africander bond, on behalf of the citizens of the South African republic and their noble ally, the Orange Free State, I appeal to all Americans to show their sympathy with the brave people who are now, in the words of John Hancock, liter- ally offering all that they have, all that they are, and all that they hope to bs, upon the altar of their couatry, fighting to the death the arrogance and imposition of the great British empire, in order to remain free and independent, as did our American forefathers in 1776 and 1812. THERE WILL BE NO BOER WOUNDED ON THE BRITISH-AMERICAN HOSPI- TAL SHIP, Send to me your subscriptions, small and large, and I will send the amount to Mr, C. C. de Villiers, Cape Town, the honorable treasurer of the committee of the Africander bond, to be expended under that appeal. I sent $2,000 on Feb. 23, 1900. GEORGE W.

The statement is made by many Jewelers that it is their experience that they have many more mainsprings of watches to repair after a warm, humid day than at any other time. Others believe the breaking to be due to elec- tric distarbar es, stating that after an electrical storm taey find that many of their customers bring their watches to them fer repair. The sudden cocl- ing and consequent contraction of the tightly wound watch spring, or main spring, caused by tke removal of the wateh from the body on a cool night following a warm day, is belicved by some to account, in a measure, for the accidents in question, So far, how- ever, no entirely satisfactory explana- ton of the diffculty has been suggested even by the most expert workmen in this line. ‘iar initia A minister in a Pennsylvania town on a recent Sunday surprised his audl- ence by reading the following an- houncement trom the pulpit: “The regular session of the Donkey club will be held as usual after the service. Members will Ine up just outside the church door, make remarks and stare at the ladies who pass, as is their eus- tom. Any member known to escort a lady to chureh like a man and sit with her like a-gentlemay will be promptly expelled from membership.” ‘The ef- fect was marvelous. Aztee Currenes. According to Prescott, the money of the Aztecs consisted of quills full of gold dust and bags of chocolate grains.

The practice of laying layer after layer of paper on a wall, using common flour paste, is especially calculated to create homes for disease germs, Peo ple could not do more to effect such a result if they tried. ‘The rotting vese- table matter affords caves from which sre ready to dart forth the infection at every opportunity. There is no ex- cuse for this practice, as walls 2n4 ceilings can be coated with a pure, cleanly and sanitary material like Ala- bastine, for instance, at no greater ex pense. Alabastine 1s a rock-bass cement, which incorporates itself with the wall ‘or celiing. {It is easily ap- plied, comes ready to mix with cold Water, requires no washing or scr@p- ing before renewing or retining, is beautiful, long-lasting and safe.

Heretofore Arid Regions Being Rapléay ‘Transformed Into Gardent—Barmer? Societies ta Many Instances Own the Jerigatiog Works. ak ade Sea eee ter ree Most of the people who farm in the Tainfall regions suppose that the irrt- £ation of land is a complicated process nd that the art of doing it can only be acquired after years of experience, whereas, as a matter of fact, it is about the easiest and most simple work the western farmer has to do. In most cases the children attend to it wader the direction of thelr parents, and any boy of 10 or 12 can do a man’s ‘work when {t comes to irrigation. ‘The western farmer is wholty :ndif- ferent as to rainfall. He doesn’t de- Pend upon it in the least. The water that Interests him {s that which flows down into the valley from the melt- ing snows in the mountain ranges, ‘These waters he diverts into great. canals which run along the rim of the valley about the irrigable lands and are tapped at stated intervals by what are called “laterals” or sub-ditchee which flow from farm to farm and out of which the farmer takes the water for his fields, In some cases the waters of these mountain streams are acquired by the community of farmers along their course, each one holding as many shares of stock 1n the co-operative canal scheme as he owns acres of land, sad being entitled to so many inches of water for every acre of -his ownership. This is the usual plan. But when the construction of the main canal, owing to engineering difficulties, is too expen- sive a piece of business for the farmer to afford, irrigation companies under- take the work and build the canal into Portions of the country where large areas of land are to be reclaimed. These Irrigation: companions are “‘com- mon carriers” of water and furnish it for a nominal price per acre per an- num to the farmer. Sometimes these Irrigation companies own large tracts under their ditch which they sell in small farms with the water right, to settlers at a nominal prices per acre. In other instances they do not own land at all, leaving that to be acquired by the settler under the various acts of congress. Perhaps no portion of the Union is now making such active progress in trrigation development, or is receiving so large a quota of immigrants as southern Idaho. There are millions of enoccupied acres in that state which only await settlement to become as productive as the lands upon the Nile. Efforts arc being put forth by the stato authorities to bring the advantages of these lands to the notice of the eastern farmer, and the several railroads of the state are engaged in the work. Perhaps the easiest and the hvst way to acquire information is frum the General Passenger Agent of the Oregon Short Line at Salt Lake City, from whence conservatively prepared pamph- lets descriptive of irrigation meth- ods and containing reliavle informa- tion about the various localities now open for settlement, are being mailed free. The time is certainly not far distant when the unoccupied public domain of Idaho will be entirely taken up, a con- Aition which will be most unfortunate to those who delay taking advantage of the rare opportunities now offered. Cxtelcising & Rancas Protesses, A professor ef English literature in the Kansas university once posted this notice: “In communicating with them- selves the students will whisper as often as possible.” He was horrified next morning to find this written uz- der his notice: “That is to say, talk to yourself in whispers as much as you can.” : Dog Funeral Denounced. Paris Cor. Pittsburg —Dispateh: There is @ curious little scandal in the fashionable world. It appears that some time since a company started a cemetery for dogs, so that an animal which had been & friend for years should not be thrown in dust. Certain fashionable ladies, however, carried the idea further, and when their dogs died issued funeral cards. The funeral services were held fn drawing rooms. A day or two since a dog funeral card sent out by a titled lady reached a Bishop, who took it upon himself to send a stinging reproof for the travesty on Christian service. The bishop was told the thing was general. Thereupon he wrote in a religious publication tirade against the lack of decent feel- ing on the part of modern society Women, and the whole thing has cre- ated quite alittle sensation.

Efective Intrenchments ‘With regard to the Boer intrench- ments, it may be noted that, according the reports of Boer prisoners, the comparatively small effect produced ‘by the English artillery fire is largely ‘owing to the trenches being made in the form of a leter $ instead of in the straight lines adopted by European armies. This pattern, which has been borrowed by the Boers from old Besute methods affords, it is sald, both freer movement and greater protection. ‘Mary of our present ideaz “yith regard to intrenchments have been learned fzom the Turks—London Mail THE HELIOGRAPH IN.

Every student of the classics will remember how the old Roman soldiers used their shields for flashing back information to the rear or from one wing of an army to another. The heii- ograph js practically the eame system of sun flashing reduced to a scientific basis so that the messacc may be cai! a distance of from five to even 100 miles when tho circum- stances are favorable. The military value of the helio- graphic method of transmittinz in- formation may be readily im2=ined. Its first advantage Is its extreme cim- plicity. It Yoos not necessitate the keeping open of lines of communic.- tion, there are no wires to protect, no batteries to look after and no burden- some apparatus to carry about. The Indians of America, ke the old RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA warriors of the Scotch highlands, re- alized the importance of signal fires in wartime and made use of a code of fire faes‘s; but it was not until 1822 that Col. Colby, of the British royal engincers, devised a more adequate system for transmitting messages by (sun flashes, His method of doing this |was by nailing a certain number of | pieces of bright tin on poles and ex- | posing them to the sun's rays. Some time later this was improved on by | the adoption of a plain mirror. In 1833 jan English officer at Gibraltar used an ‘ordinary lookingglass to reflect flashes across the strait to Tangier, thereby carrying on a long-distance conversa- tion with other English officers in Af- rica, This mirror system was experiment- ed with and improved upon unti} the year 1878, when the United States gov- ernment purchased the latest models and began the instruction of a special signal corps in heliography. ‘The mill- tary value of such sun writing was well known when, in 1886, Gen. Miles began his Indian campaign against Geronimo. If the truth were only known, it was the heliograph more than anything else that led to the rounding up and capture of the fa- mous blood-drinking red man. One can imagine the surprise of the Indi- ans when they found that they could not move without the fact being known to the Americans and the movement mysteriously anticipated. Signal parties, in fact, were flashing hourly information from mountain peak to mountain peak, and the In- dian warriors’ headquarters were al- ways known at Miles’ camp. Through the use of the heliograph Geronimo ‘was kept away from water by rapidly stationed and mobile bands of troops and ‘was finally really parched into submission. ‘The English army had already ben making use of the heliograph in Af- ghanistan, and during the Boer war of twenty years ago mate effective use of the Mance hellosraphic appa- ratus, The great service this means of communication has been to the dif. ferent British commanders besiexed by the Boers in the present South Af- rican war is very well known.

It was neither the nonagenarian nor his wife, however, that was the real cause of the excitement, but a peculiar article of baggage which the aged.traveler had with him. When the baggagemaster came to look over the traveling equip- ment which Mr. Simpkins unloaded from a wagon and offered for transpor- tation he’ was somewhat surprised to see, in the midst of bandboxes and car- pet-bags, a coffin, with all the usual funerad adornment. ‘The coffin appa- rently contained a body, for the sturdy old man handled Is as if it were heavy, and with the greatest care. The bag- gagemester at once asked for the death certificate. “I guess I don't need none,” said Mr. Simpkins, grinning. “We can’t take the body unless you show a cer- tifleate of death,” said the baggagemas- ter, firmly. Simpkins grinned again, “There ain't no corpse in there,” said he. “There's Jest some of my wife's dresses, and some chiny and tinware, and the big Bible and some of my ‘things, I guess I don’t need no certifi- kit for them, do I? I'd Jest as soon show yer what they be.” The baggage- man admitted that he would like to look into the coffin, and straightway Anthony unfastened the lid and ex- posed the articles which he had men- tioned, and many more as well. The controversy had attracted the attention of the people who were waiting in the station, and by the time the owner had raised the lid of the coffin he was sur- rounded by a large and curious crowd. Somebody asked the old man how it happened that he used a coffin as his trunk, and he explained the matter in this way: “Three years ago I had an idea that I wasn’t goin’ to last much longer, so.I thought I'd better male sure of a good coflln while I had money to buy it, I bought this coffin then, but I ain't had no chance to use it until day ‘fore yesterday. Then Mary told me there wa’n't room enough in the trunk for all the things we wanted to take out west, so I sald that coffin would make a good trunk. I wanted to take it along, anyhow.” Despite Mr. Simpkins’ plausible explanation the railroad officers refused to accept his cofin trunk, and with a good deal of grembling he and his wife transtesred the contents to a dry goods box, HISTORICAL PALACE FOR SALE. Many of England's Kings an@ Queens Resided There. The crown lease of Eltham court and palace, which forms one of the most interesting links with the past which have ever passed into the estate mar- ket, is advertised for sale, says the London Chronicle. Its history dates from the time of Edward the Confess- or (1042-66). At that time the manor belonged to the crown. It was grant- ed by William the Conqueror to his brother Odo, earl of Kent, but revert- ed to the’ crown. While the date of the erection of the palace’ is uncer- tain, it Is known that it was a royal residence from 1270 to 1628. “John o’ Eltham,” Edward Il., Edward IIL, Richard IL, Henry IV., Henry V., Ed- ward IV., Richard IIL, Henry VIL, Henry Vill, Mary, Elizabeth and James L., all resided at the palace. It was there, also, that Edward IIL held his parliament, Richard III. enter- tained the captive king of France, Henry IV. was espoused to Joan of Navarre and Edward IV.’s daughter Bridget was born. After passing through other royal hands, the palace came into the possession of Siz John Shaw. It is from one of the’ threr parks known as the middle park that the “Midle Park Plate” takes its name. ‘The present house retains the old moat and part of the original palace is still standing. ‘Shins “Stes aeetees Most of us have read of rooms which have been papered entirely with can- celed postage stamps, but certain monks at the hospital of St. Jean de Dieu, at Ghent, have beaten all this by, in their leisure moments, decorating the walls with gorgeous landscapes, glowing with color and full of life, which are formed entirely by means of the postage stamps of all the na- tions of the world. Palaces, forests, streams and mountains are represent- ed, butterflies flit about in the air,birds of beautiful plumage perch on branches, snakes and lizards glide about, and innumerable animals find places here and there. The pictures are most artistic, in the style of Chi- nese landscape gardening, and already between 9,000,000 and 10,000,000 of stamps have been used.—Cincinnat!

Not only in this country, but also in many oth- ers, it is found that more people £0 mad during May, June and July than during any other portion of the year, and that sulelde—which 1s due to some form of insanity—is also more preva- lent during the summer. 4.2394 Letters = Day. ‘The John A.
