The American Citizen

Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country VOL. 14. NO. 49. Newspapers THE NEGRO'S Country. In an editorial in Friday's Nashville American is an article headed, "They Need Not Apply." The article seems to be an answer or a comment on an article which was recently printed in the Boston Herald relative to the negro in the army and navy, and also the practicability of the negro being educated. T West Point and Annapolis. Why not the negro apply? Is he not a citizen? Is he not patriotic and loyal to his government? Has he not come to the rescue of his country at every call? He has baptized these Uni ed States in his blood for its freedom, and yet he is not considered and neither does he enjoy the right of a freeman. Why not admit him to the great schools to study the science of war that he may be a better soldier and a better protector of his country and his country's rights? He has a right to apply and a right to be admitted and taught the sciences of war, as well as any other citizen. Our Government is a government of the people, for the people and by the people, and not a government ofaste. The color of a man's skin or the texture of his hair should not debar him from obtaining that which is to make him a better man and a more skilled and proficient artisan in the department of life. It has long ago been discovered that the negro is capable of the highest degree of intellectual development. Why not attend West Point, or any other point where men are molded into soldiers? The negro is by birth a soldier; it will not be hard to train him. The negro has taken part in every war in which the United States has been engaged. His life has been a warfare since 1620, when that Dutch vessel sailed up the James River and emptied her cargo of twenty African slaves. He toiled and labored during the colonial period and when they cried for freedom from a British yoke the negro was first to shed his blood for American liberty Honor is due to Crispus Attucks, who was first to die on Boston Commons for American independence. He has never allowed the Stars and Stripes, which is so dear to every American heart to trail in the dust. History fails to tell us of his ever being a traitor. According to statistics 2,000 negroes fought on the side of the Americans for American Independence, fifty thousand fought on the side of the British They were promised their freedom if they would fight. They fought nobly and well on both sides, but when peace was declared they were still slaves. The war of revolution ended in 1781 at York town, Liberty was enjoyed by the whites, but the poor negro who shed his blood was left in bondage. The war of 1812 between the United States and Great Britannic broke out and the negro was pressed into service. He did not falter. He was enlisted in the navy as a volunteer. He fought on land and on sea. At the battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8 1812, he achieved a noble victory, a wonderful fame. Gen. Jackson in addressing the negro soldiers after the battle said (History of Jackson's Life): "Soldiers, I expected much from you. I was not uninformed of these qualities which must render you so formidable to an invading foe. I knew you could endure hanger and thirst and all the hardships of war. I knew that you loved the land of your nativity and that, like ourselves, you had to d-fend all what is most dear to man. But you have surpassed all my hopes. I have found in you united to these qualities that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds" This a glorious tribute to the negro soldiers who fought under Gen. Jackson, one of the South's noblest soos, who lies sleeping in the sun kissed city of the silent dead on yoder hill. In the great civil conflict 200,000 sons of Ham took past. Braver men never fought; more truthful and reliable men filled the ranks of soldier than did the black phalanx. When this country was engaged in war with Spain and the call was made for volunteers thousands of nodle young negroes responded to the call, some with Dewey Manila Bay, other with Roosevelt, fighting like demons as they seated the heights of San Juan, going through a burning hell and planting the Stars and Stripes on the ramparts of the enemy. Why not admit the negro in the great schools to study the science of war? If the he has done so much without the schoolastic trainingf what could he do? The race has produced some great soldiers and generals. Among the re THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. cent ones is Antonio Maceo who for twenty years was a leader, a general whose ability bravery, tact and genius as a warrior can be surpassed. Spain trembled at his bidding and watched with anguish his call. Wendell Philips in speaking of Toussaint l'Overture, the great negro generals of San Domingo who conquered the combined forces of Europe, said in comparing the great generals of the world "Fifty years hence, when truth gets a hearing, history will put Paacian for the Greeks. Ceasar for the Romans, Napoleon for France, Washington, our great consummate of our earliest civilization, and then dipping her pen in the blue sunlight above wiI write the name of the statesman, the patriot, the warrior "Toussaint l'Overture." We pray as American citizens that President Roosevelt will recieve the committee with favor and will open way for the young negro to be educated in great naval schools of the world. —JOHN R SMITH, in Nashville Amercan. GREAT MUSICAL ATTRACTION Kansas City is to hear the celebrated Innes concert band in Convention hall, Sunday afternoon and evening, Feb. 2. This announcement is of particular interest in this locality, which has its full share of lovers of band music. K. C. considers the engagement the most important, barring Grau grand opera, this season. Buffalo believes that Innes is without rival. Innes played several weeks at the Pan-American exposition and the crush about the Temple of music daily became so great that the newpapers demanded police protection. People fought for admission and it was necessary to lock and bar the doors to keep them out. This engagement in Buffalo won for Innes the high honor of opening the music season at Charleston's exposition. At Atlantic City last summer the band played to nearly one million people. The band now is making a triumphal tour through the South and is traveling in the "Innes Special" composed of 3 Pulman cars, constructed solely for Innes, his band and his grand opera singers. Innes concert are unlike any others. Not only do the present splendid variety in band music, but also entire scenes from grand opera by operatic star of international reputation. The most important role for the present tour is Signorina Adele Borghi, Italy's greatest Carmen, a prize beauty both in voice and form, whom Maurice Grau tried to secure for this season. The others include Miss Erancis Boyden, a handsome young prima donna; Signor Edgardo Zerni, the robust hero, and Signer Achille Alberti, the heroic bass-baritone. The operatic selections will be from Bizet's "Carmen" Guonod's "Faust" and Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" Mr Innes also has a corps of musical blacksmiths, who, in red shirts and leather aprons and with electric anvils, make beautiful spectacles of anvil choruses. It is probable that a large party will go from here to attend the concerts. Railroad rates may be had on application to the local agent. Reserved seats will go on sale at the Union Pacific ticket office, 1000 Main Street, Kansas City, beginning Monday mourning, January 27 Prices, 25,50, and 75 cents; box seats $1.00 each.

Notwithstanding that part, of the origina- "Out on the world" company is out in the world for true—the remants are being gathered for a new production. A young colored woman went into a dry good store in Washington, D. C., recently, so the associated press says and bought $3000 worth of dresses and other finery and paid for them with a $1,000 bill. After she left the store, the merchant who was glad to get her money informed the police who rushed around and located her and got her story. She told them that a man on Pennsylvania avenue whom she had never seen before gave her the bill and passed on. As no one came forward to claim the money, and as there was no to arrest her for theft, of course she kept both her finery and $700 change. Some white people, like that unkind merchant, get terrible suspicious if they see Negroes handling more than $10 or $25 at a time. Ex- A Hard Bet to Win In 1893 three Irishmen agreed to undertake a journey around the earth on foot for a jackpot of $150,000. Each one of the party deposited one-third of this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and it was agreed that whover survived the trip and returned should receive the whole amount. In case all died a Dublin hospital was to become the beneficiary. On Dec. 24, 1895, they started east across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt, where they took passage for Australia. Their wanderings through the inner wastes of Australia proved the hardest trials of the journey, and the severity of this trip resulted in the death of two of the travelers. The third, Capt. Trevelyan, completed the voyage and won the money. MAN REV. C. G. FISHBACK. B. D., BOWLING GREEN KY. A SAD LESSON TO THE NEGRO. Albert Garth a young negro man who murdered a young colored woman in 1900 by the name of Minnie Woods, by beating and stabbing her to death was hanged in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday of this week. He went to the scaffold smiling being willing and prepared he said to meet his God. Strenuous efforts were put forth in his behalf to have the Governor to commute to life imprisonment, but all the mustered powers could not move the Governor. About 200 people were admitted to the jail enclosure where the hanging took place. Three men fainted when the drop fell and when the bow was cut down the crowd turned into a mob and the greatest confusion prevailed over the efforts of the people to yet souvenues of the occasion. It must be said that this crowd with but little more than a single exception was white and some representative blue bloods at that. We have nothing to say regarding the punishment meted out to Garth. He took a life in a most brutal manner that was as sweet to its possessor as his, and he deserved just what was given. The injustice is with Missouri law or its interpreter, one white man who murders 3 people gets a state prison sentence another white man who does murder gets 40 years in the state pen, but a negro must hang. It is the rarest of events for a white man to be hanged in Kansas City, Mo., for murder yet they say all REV. C. G. FISHBACK, B. The above cut is an exack likeness of Rev. Chas, G.

From observation of real facts we are constrained to believe that this question of color after all plays a most important part with both judge and jurors more or less all over this civilized country—the home of the brave and the land the free. in the hanging of Albert Garth may the young negro, not alone in Mo. but elsewhere as well, learn a lesson that time can never efface. Garth evidently had been stared upon the right road in early life, but had drifted away from early trachings and through evil association, ill temper, loquor and jealousy ended his career on the gollows. In the two Kans. Cities there are a large number of young negro men followin in Garth's footsteps whose poor old parents have tried to teach them the righ-road, to a higher and more exalted station in life, to no avail they are drifting onward with the tide, some to stand where Garth stood last Tuesday mourning at 9:30 o'clock, some to fill a narrow apartment in mother earth—unhoned and uncared for, save by the green sward in Summer.

HARTONA TRADE-MARK.1 BEFORE USING AFTER USING A MIRAOLE EXPLAINED. Why a Young Women Uttered Strange Sentences in Dead Languages. Sentences in Dead Languages. The vagaries of memory are some of the most interesting of those connected with the human mind and body. Why do we forget certain things and remember others? Myriads of these irregularities are as yet unaccounted for; perhaps not even the cleverest metaphysician will ever account for them. Professor James reminds us how something which we have tried in vain to recall will afterward, when we have given up the attempt, "saunter into the mind," as Emerson says, as innocently as if it had never been summoned. Again, bygone experiences will revive after years of oblivion, often as the result of some cerebral disease or accident. Such a case is the one quoted by Coleridge of a young woman in Germany who could neither read nor write, but who was said to be possessed of a devil because, in a fever, she was heard raving in Latin, Greek and in an obscure rabbinical dialect of Hebrew. Whole pages of her talk were written down, and were found to consist of sentences intelligible in themselves, but not having the slightest connection with one another. To say that she was possessed of a devil was the easiest way of accounting for the matter. At last the mystery was cleared up by a physician, who traced back the girl's history until he learned that at the age of nine she was taken to live at the house of an old pastor, a great Hebrew scholar, and that she remained there until the pastor's death. It had been for years the old man's custom to walk up and down a passage near the kitchen, and read to himself in a loud voice. His books were examined, and among them many of the passages taken down at the young woman's bedside were identified. The theory of demoniacal possession was abandoned. Youth's Companion.

The refining of petroleum is a process of distillation, in which it is separated into several marketable products. There are two methods of distillation, known technically as "invacuo" and "cracking." The petroleum is distilled in a partial vacuum, and in the second, with superheated steam. This process receives its name from the cracking sound of the steam as it enters the undistilled petroleum. Ideal City Will Not Be Nolsz It is safe to conclude, says the New York Tribune, that the ideal city of the future will be less noisy than the average city of to-day.

In the last pub- Ushed report on the subject in this city, all boroughs, it was seen for the first time that there were more suicides by natives of the United States than by those of Germany, though the dis- ‘arity was very smal}. ‘The change is explained in part by the fact that while the number of German men who commit suicide 1s larger than that of male suicides of any other country, suicide by German women 1s compara- tively rare and gets rarer each year. ‘The suicides of colored people have een more conspicuously observed in the large citles of the south than in northern cities, where the colored pop- ulation is small and is not increasing, and the explanation of it is found in a single phrase, city life. Colored resi- dents of farms or small towns seldom commit or attempt suicide; it is in the large cities, where the struggle for ex- Sstence {s under conditions most un- favorable to colored men, that a few of them overcome their repugnance to such an act of violence. In proportion to the total population, suicides among Englishmen residing in the United States aro very much more frequent than among residents of Irish birth. Among male natives of Franco and Switzerland in the United States the rate of suicides is high; among women from France or Switzerland there {s practically none at all. In respect to the total number of suicides compared with the population, Chicago and San Francisco rank highest among Ameri- can cities, Baltimore and Richmond are low on the list. In New York elty the ratio of suicides 1s higher in Queens than in The Bronx.—New York Sun, Co EAGERS Gem Drug Store - MINNESOTA AVENUE Dé¢ALER IN DRUGS, MEDICINES, CHEMICALS, Fine Toilet Soaps, Brushes, Combs, Etc., —=—> PERFUMERY AND FANCY TOILFT ARTICLES.

Kansas ranks first in the value of wheat and corn raised for the five years 1896 to 1900, inclusive, and also for the year 1900 alone; first in the value of wheat alone raised in 1900; fifth in the value of corn alone for the samo period; second, in the value of wheat and corn raised in 1900 per capita. ‘The same authority gives the number of bushels of corn raised in Kansas in 20 years ax 2,995,985,308, and the num: ber of bushels of wheat raised in same period as 691,297,613. ‘Theee are truly wonderful figures.

KANSAS Cry. — (Special) Too weak to work and with poverty star- ing him in the face, Henry Miller, a former employe of the Armour pack- ing house, put a bullet into his brain in Kansas City, Kas. The deed was committed at his home, 1238 Freeman avenue. While his wife was away Miller arose from his sick bed, se- cured a revolver of an oid pattern and attempted suicide. The house physi- cian at Bethany hospital reported that Miller was yery low and that the chances were greatly against him. It ‘was not believed that he would live. Miller's case is a most pitiable one. He had been ili of pneumonia for six weeks. He has a wife and three chil- dren depending upon him for support. ‘Phere was no food for them and the sick man grew very despondent. His wife went to the office of Dr. Ramsay to report the condition of her husband and it was during her absence that he selzed the opportunity to end his life. His children, who were in an adjoining room, were frightened by the report of the pistol and ran to a neighbor's house. ‘The police ambulance removed the injured man to Bethany hospital. Mrs. Miller had not asked the city or county officials for assistance. How- ever, when Chief of Police Zimmer learned of her condition he sent the family a supply of groceries. ANOTHER PARK PROMOTER WANTED ‘He Was Manager of the Gatena, Kansas, Park and His Affairs Are Mixed, GALENA, — (Special.) ‘The where- abouts of Frank E. Colvin, promoter of the Columbia park, are unknown. The park was built last summer at a cost of about $10,000, and a saloon run in connection with it. In fact, the saloon was the principal thing. It is situated on the Missouri side of the state line adjoining Galena on the east. Colvin managed the business until about three months ago, when his backers, who are St. Louis capitalists, took it out of his hands. He has also been engaged in the real estate and in- surance business. It is claimed that his affairs are somewhat mixed and representative of an insurance com- Pany arrived in Galena in search of him. Also parties are down from Co- lumbus, his former home. He has many creditors. TO TEST THE TIME LIMIT. From Train Because of Expired Ticket. SALINA.—(Special.) A suit, in- volving the time limit of a railroad ticket, has been filed in teh district court here by A. W. Wickham against the Santa Fe railroad. Wickham is @ traveling representative of the Peavey Grain Company, and while riding on a Santa Fe train, betweon Valley Falls and Topeka, December 13, 1901, he presented a ticket bear- ing the date of November 9, 1899, which had never been used. The ticket was rejected and the plaintiff forcibly ejected from the’ train and set down on the prairie about two miles out of Valley Falls. The com- pany has refused to make a settle- ment.

Sulli- vant, the Coffey county cattle deater who disappeared from his home about ‘@ month ago, passed through here the other night en route to bis home in Waverly. Sullivant left Coffey county without notifying his friends. He was heavily involved, It is said that bis debts amounted to from $60,000 to $100,000. His principal creditors were the Bank of Waverly, the three banks here, a commission firm in Kansas City. Sullivant returned voluntarily. He wired C. N. Converse a tWaverly to meet him in Kansas City. Mr. Con- verse, accompanied by John Anderson, of Waverly, and C, H, Estabrook, of the First National bank here, met him in Kansas City and returned with bim. Since Sullivant left he says he has [traveled all over the West ana North- west. He went to Chicago, thence to Canada, thence to. Vancouver island, thence ‘to New Mexico, from which place he started home. He says he is Elad to get home and will begin lite anew. He says he will not go into the ‘cattle business again. As far as can be learned, Sullivant has done nothing criminal. His was a purely business failure. It is said that he has effected a compromise with the Kansas City commission firm and his Kansas ered- itors will fix up compromises. NEGRO CONVICT ESCAPED. Coal Mine Worker Rode Out of ‘hainsing Prison on Truck of @ Car. LANSING.—(Special.) While a de- tail of convicts were working on the coal chutes at the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing “Moss” Ottrey, a Topeka negro convict, made his escape by rid- ing out of the grounds on the truck of a coal car. The screen and chute are quite cum- brous. All the coal that comes out of the penitentiary coal mine is dumped into the chute and sifted into the dif- ferent grades before it is shipped out. ‘The railroad track is on a lower level to get the coal as it comes out of the sereen, Ottrey was working on the tower level. When the drill engine started out pulling the loaded cars Ottrey sneaked under one of the cars and crawled onto the truck. His es- czpe was not discovered until the cars had been hauled down to the junction, a quarter of a mile or more away. Pett Oadax tha Wheds, NEWTON.—(Special.) D. C. Shert- ‘dan, a young man about 18 years of age, was run over by a Santa Fe freight train in the Newton yards and received injuries which will probably result in his death, The young man ‘was on his way from Leadville to his ‘home in Springfield, Mo. He was beat- ing his way. In attempting to throw himself under 2 moving car, his hotd slipped and he fell on the rail.

CINCINNATI, OHIO. — (Special.) ‘Theodore Braemar, secretary and treasurer of the J. and F. Schroth Packing company of this city, is short in his accounts from $160,000 to $400,- 00, according to a story printed in all the Cincinnati papers. Braemar and his wife have turned all their estate over to the Schroths and the shortage ‘will be fully covered without prosecu- Uon. ‘The expert, Mr. Munster, claims to have confronted Braemar with $160, 000 of the shortage, and he estimates that the shortage for more than twenty and never examined his books. Untii recently Braemer received $25 a week as bookkeeper. His salary never exceeded $40 a week, and he had been with the firm twenty-five years. He has transferred one of the finest residences in the city and other valu- able property and more than $200,000 in stocks and bonds to his former em- ployers. His employers always be- lieved his statements about his for- tunate speculations and investments and ne ver examined his books. After the death of John Schroth over a year ago his heirs instituted an investigation and recently have had detectives co-operating with their ex ert accountant. ‘The firm does a business of $2,000,000 annually, all passing through the hands of Bramer. It is claimed that Braemer did not enter cash collections from the wagons as well as some other collections, Braemer and his family were big entertainers and leaders here soclally. Braemer admits that he had trans- ferred his property to the Schroths after he met their attorneys and the expert accountant. It was then that he resigned and an attempt was made to keep the matter quiet. Among the chattels turned over by Braemer were $75,000 in Standard Oil stock; $15,000 in national bank stock; $13,000 in Cincinnati Gas stock; $8,000 in school bonds and $50,000 in other good hold- ings, with a bank balance of $12,000.

GARTH WALKED ONTO THE SCAF- FOLD WITHOUT A TREMOR. WAS BRAVE AND SMILING TO THE = T He Bade Good-by to the Execationers as They Placed the Rope around His Neck and Adjusted the Black Cap—Sald Bad Company and Whisky Brought Him to the Scaffold, KANSAS CITY, MO. — (Special.) With a smile on his face and a cheer- ful “good-by,” Albert Garth died on the gallows in the county jail for the murder of Minnie Woods, a negress. No man ever died gamer than he. Garth walked out on the gallows un- assisted and after Reev. A. A. Gil- bert of Ebenezer African M. E. chureh had offered prayer, he called for the Lord's Prayer and joined Mr. Gilbert and Rev. C. J, Scott, of Allen chapel, in repeating it. Marshal Maxwell grasped his hand, said in a Jow voice, “Good-bye, Albert,” and the negro said in a firm tone, “Good-by, Mr. Maxwell.” His legs were then strapped and Deputy Marshal Rogers started to put on the black cap when a voice in the crowd cried out, “Good- by, Albert.” Garth turned his head, smiled and said in a loud voice, “Good-by.” ‘The eap was then put on. Chiet Deputy Lum Broadhurst ad- justed the noose over the black cap and Marshall Maxwell pulled the lever. The boquet of roses which Garth wore were jerked off by the shock which re- sulted. Garth never moved after the drop, which was six and a half feet, and was pronounced dead in fourteen minutes and twenty seconds by Cor- oner Wheeler and Dr, St. Elmo San- ders. The body was cut down and taken into another roorm, where the coroner's jury viewed it. A post mor- tem examination showed that death was due to strangulation, ‘The moment that the body was cut down a most remarkable scene fol- lowed. The crowd began to-yell for pieces of the rope. Six policemen who should have stopped the crowd led it up the narrow stairway to the gal- lows and shoved and pushed those who were there around in their ef- forts to cut off pieces. ‘The rope was chopped off, bit by bit, until it was close to the gallows beam. Chief Deputy Broadhurst stopped the strug- gling by pulling the rope down and coiling it around his arm. Garth slept soundly the night before and arose at 6, took a bath and dressed himself. He put on a low collar, but could not tie his cravat and called J. ©. Chastine, his friend, who acted as death wateh, to do it. His breakfast consisted of eggs, steak, toast and coffee and his appetite was good. Rev. Gilbert, whose church Garth attended while his mother lived, and Rev. Scott came early and offered prayer and sang several hymns, among which were “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” and “Savior, More Than Life to Me.” The twenty-third Psalm, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,” was read and the ministers then withdrew, ‘This was about $:15 and for the next half-hour Garth paced his cell. His heavy shoes squeaked on the iron floor with a sound suggestive of a great hawser holding a boat, Occasionally he stopped to answer a question and then resumed his walk. Just before he started for the gallows the min- isters. asked Garth if he had any warn- ing to give the young men of his race, and he answered: “Tell them to shun bad companions and bad whis- ky. They brought me here.” Garth declared that he kille@ Minnle Woods accidentally after he had drawn his knife to scare a man with whom he was fighting.

Only meager details of the fighting between the vessels of the Colombian govern- ent and those of the insurgents in Panama bay have been received in of- ficial circles, ‘They consisted of a dis- ‘patch from Consul General Gudger, at Panama, and another from Captain Mead, the commander of the cruiser ‘Philadelphia, which is lying in Panama bay. ‘The dispatches are as follows: From Consul General Gudger: “Fighting in bay. Governor killed. Excitement great.” From Captain Mead: “The insur- gent steamer Padilla attacked the Lau- taro at close quarters, Crew has de- serted her. Is now on fire and sink- ing.” Up to 10 o'clock no additional ad- vices had come, either to the govern- ment or to Dr. Silva, Colombia's rep- resentative at this capital.. The officials of the state and navy department are watching the outcome of the contest with considerable in- terest. It is believed that fuller reports will be received soon. At the Colombian legation, great re- gret is expressed by the officials there at the death of General Alban, the governor of Panama, He had proved a very successful officer, and in the re- cent operations incident to the eap- ture and surrender of Colon by the rebels he played a conspicuous. part. He was about 50 years of age and a man of brilliant attainments. For- merly he had been attorney general of Colombia. It is feared that the death of General Alban, leader of the government troops on the isthmus, will have a very de- moralizing effect upon his army, a great part of which is made up of ig- norant coast negroes who would be apt to be affected adversely by the loss of their leader, Dr. Silva, the Colombian minister here, has been assured by the state department that anything in the na- ture of a bombardment of either of the isthmian towns with its accompanying dangers to American interests and in- terruption of trensit, would be pre- vented by the American naval repre- sentation in that quarter. The lega- tion officials, therefore, feel sure that, in case the revolutionary fleet is vic- torious in destroying the government vessels, the victory will end there. Captain Mead, of the Philadelphia, has the same general instructions from Secretary Long, which governed the aétions of Captain Perry of the battle- ship Iowa when the Liberals captured Colon, and he will intervene only when American interests or treaty rights are threatened: FIGURED IN A CHICAGO ROMANCE. “Kansas City"’ Doctor Married in Windy Chy to a Woman Ho Had Never Seen CHICAGO.—(Special.)
