The American Citizen

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. VOL. 18 NO 12 Short Eulogy of C. U. Anderson. 66 years months 29 days ago Chas, Upton Anderson first saw the light of day in Merriam Co., Fulton, Ky. At the early age of 4 years was brought by his parents to Lafayette Co Mo. remaining here until he entered manhood. In 186 year of proclamation he came to Kansas City, Ks. a young man at t he age of 2 yr. when the fires of his youth were all aglow in its busy zeal and a noble heart he started out to make an honorable living and to be felt in the community as a citizen worthy, honest and upright. How well he succeeded in his aims and how highly he was respected by the community, the following tribute must be paid to him. Recognizing his good judgement, common sense and broad mind he was elected member of the City School Board for a term of 2 years. This however coming from the people both white and black has been held only by few of his race. Again he was honored by the city by being elected member of the city council from his ward and in his declining days when unable physically to perform other duties he was appointed Sanitary Inspector of the city. His services as a citizen were appreciated until his death. Besides wielding a powerful influence in the community an city his services and influence in the church and society were indispensable. In 1872 he was converted and baptized into the 1st Bapt. church of this city. A few weeks afterwards was elected treasurer of church and remained until the organization of the Metropolitan church nearly 17 years ago. At the organization of the Metropolitan church as a charter member and leading spirit he was elected treasurer and remained until a few months of his death. In 1867 Dec.26 he was married to Miss Fanny Miller, his companion for all these years, who helped him and cared for him. Mayor D. E.Cornell in his long list of appointments remembered the colored wing of the republican party in great shape by appointing Corvine Paterson Street Commissioner a position 'Aunt Aggie's children' felt that they were justly entitled to for many years. Mr. Paterson filled this office under Mayor Cog some years ago and is thoroughly versed with the duties of this important office, no better man could have been selected for this position than him. Anderson wilson was appointed his clerk. The following colored officers were appointed: S. F. Brown, Press Younger, James McAfee, Gus Clark, Wm. Mosby James Glass and Rickard Austin. Colored sanitary sergeants: William Alexander, Henry Reed. William Parker, seavenger. E. F Bell city impounder.

JUST THINK A journalist by the name of Frank A. Munsey, owner of the Argosy Magazine Munsey's Magazine, The Scrap Book and a Home Journal of some small circulation, owns and publishes a paper here, which he calls the Washington Times. This Times was started about 4 years and from its birth has useb every base method of yellow journalism to injure the Negro thinking in this step to cater to the prejudices of the community in which his paper has a large circulation and win in the field of competition over the Washington Evening Star a paper which is a model of American journalism. But it has not been satisfied, even under the eye and personal supervision of Frank A. Muusey, to falsify accounts concerning colored people; hence, it issues an advertising folder which contain the very falsely significant paragraph: "Washington, the Capitol of the nation has a population of 355,000 which 35,000 are colored and are disregarded in the Times' circulation. What is said below, therefore applies wholly to the white population." Following this paragraph was one dealing with wealth and income which in no wise reckoned with the colored people, and then came the following: "The Times has not only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it and in its news columns has shown emphatically that it is a paper for white people." The above is surely convincing, and we call upon the colored people all over the country to strike from their list of reading mater any and everything with which Frank A. Munsey has anything to do. He is using his organ to degrade you and debase you, and honor and self respect damand that you resent his unjust imputation and contembiate slur and malicious falsebood. His Times is like the politician who never wants office. He always has his hand out for money; and while Frank A. Munsey is declaring he does not want colored people to take his paper, his agents pleads with the colored people to subscribe and his collectors are calling upon them as upon the whites. But the sad part of it is, some of the colored people continue to buy and read this penny sheet, which was conceived in sin and born in iniquity. Strike back at this pernicious influence and crush this serpent's head; unless you prefer to slander and abuse rather than stand where you can and where it is your duty to stand for the right. Touch not and handle not any that comes from Munsey.—Plaindealer. Publication Notice In the District Court of Wyandotte County Kansas. Nathaneil Singletary, Plaintiff, vs. No. 20168.

Waldorf Astor has become so thoroughly anglicized that he is going to marry an American girl. A clergyman says that bridge whist leads to mental decline. Why doesn't he try poker for a change? Senator Pettus is declared to be a poor man and fond of poker. The last explains the first, possibly. Perhaps boys should be thankful for whippings, as somebody declares, but they seldom are before they are 45. Sweet Spring is now approaching, and Summer with the rose, so poetry's encroaching upon the field of prose. King Edward was "warmly received" in Paris, but not in the same way as when he used to be prince of Wales. The czar will reserve the right to wield the big stick over the Douma, according to the latest advices from St. Petersburg. We learn from the New York Mail that women are using garters to keep those long, arm-length gloves in place. But do they hold? Manchuria will be finally evacuated by the Japanese in a few days. It has taken them longer to get out than it did to get in. It is now believed that Anna Gould is going to give Boni one more chance, in spite of the fact that he has taken a great many already. Uruguay should not be blamed for having a revolution. A review of recent South American history shows that it is Uruguay's turn. Asks the editor of the Pittsfield Journal: "Are there four girls with gray eyes in Pittsfield?" Apparently ye scribe means to get busy. Queen Maud of Norway is losing her health because she fears her husband will be killed. This queen business is not all pickles and pie. It was not long ago that all the "success" magazines were pointing to the Pittsburg millionaires as examples to the youth of the land. With 10,000 doctors in convention in Boston next summer, the rest of the country ought to have a good opportunity to get well.—Boston Globe. It is a pity that the great romancers of the sea did not live in a generation which affords such thrilling material as the log of the dry dock Dewey. A Minnesota man says he has discovered the cause of the aurora borealis. But what bearing will this have on the price of coal this year? Much to the surprise of everybody, some of the phenomenal ball players added to the leading nines as marvelous discoveries will probably make good. Cheer up, mister! The president of the Dressmakers' National Protective Association says that women's dress will be less expensive this year than ever before. The Japanese, says one of their statesmen, should adopt chairs and develop their legs. Well, short legs did not prevent them from "getting there" in the late war. Portia, as quoted by the editor of a kind of society paper, is made to say: "How far that little scandal throws his beams! So shines a bad deed in this haughty world." News comes from the east that the seventeen-year locusts will devastate the land this year. How many times in the course of a decade do the seventeen-year locusts come, anyhow? As the last suffragist was detached from the doorknob and put into the police wagon, the premier of the great British Empire crawled out from under his bed and sighed a sigh of relief. W. B.

The human body can live and thrive and work on a surprisingly small quantity of nourishment. Great mod- eration in eating is, therefore, one of the keys that unlock the doors of long living. Greatest Misfortune of Life Mayors appear to have had their troubles two centuries ago. At bielefeld, Germany, there is a tombstone with this inscription: "Here lies Johannes Burggreve, who considered his election as burgomaster of this city the greatest misfortune of his life." The Day's Length. By a simple rule, the length of the day and night, any time of the year, may be ascertained by doubling the time of the sun's rising, which will give the length of the night; and double the time of setting will give the length of the day.

Attest: By I. F. Bradley, Atty. Wn. Needles, Clerk. Dec. 7 Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not such a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but ever so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. Moreover the great palaces are shown SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Military Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Bracad Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression, upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titan red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The last is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is, pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun. What Money Will Do.

The printer, having no suitable illustration to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customer's don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns—I only kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant.—New York World. Building Up to Requirements A Kansas City man purchased a city lot with the restriction that he should not build a house on it to cost less than $2,500. After having paid for the lot he decided to build a $1,500 cottage. Before he had completed it the real estate man from whom he had bought the lot threatened to sue him for breach of contract. "This little shack you are building," said the real estate man, "lacks a whole lot of being a $2,500 house such as you agreed to build." AMERICAN HAIR GROWER BEFORE USING PICTURES TAKEN FROM LIFE.

Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp. The late Judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 1860 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing. Consider, rather, the postage stamp, whose useful depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there."

The old sailor belongs alike to the navy and to the merchant service, for he served in both, and it would be difficult to say in which of the two his adventures were the most thrilling. His record includes three shipwrecks, the battle of Navarino, in which he won mention in orders, the blockade of Algiers, one capture by brigands, followed by himself and his companions seizing the Spanish ship which captured the corsair which had captured them. After serving many years before the mast he became a master and small ship owner on his own account. His name ROOM 8. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Here is the Place Religious Persecution. By Ella Wheeler Wilcox "For two hours last night," writes an acquaintance "my mother and my sister preached to me that I would love my soul unless I came to their ovaled views of religion. I can not believe as they do. I believe in the Greater Creator and in the Law of Love. I believe Christ was a Great Master, who taught this law of love. He is my Teacher and Brother and Friend. And so he and his friends burned and tortured, and hung, and beheaded, and burned alive and starved to death hundreds of thousands of good people; and all this was done in the name of Christ. And his opponents paid an eye for an eye—and slaughtered as many in retaliation. Those charming days are past, but the spirit of persecution still linger. "I believe the translators have left very little absolute Holy Writ unviolated. There are so many interpretations one can give various passages that I believe I have as good a right to my interpretation of Holy Writ as all the conflicting ones of the various sects and creeds. I try to love my neighbor as myself and one of my ways of showing it is in letting him worship his own way —just as I want my own way. My family can not see that this is an evidence of brotherly love to allow your friends liberty of conscience. "They feel they must think for me, and bring me to their point of view, or else consign me to fire and brimstone after I puss on. I really feel sometimes that such a fate would be happier than to live with my relatives through another life and hear them preach." The battle of my friend for her liberty of conscience is just the same battle that great men of history, William the Silent of Holland fought with the bigots of the Spanish Inquisition. And he was finally assassinated because he maintained the principle as one of the ethics of true religion. The world suffered from a hundred years war through just such bigots as the family of my correspondent. Had she lived in those "good old days" she would have been dipped in lot oil and allowed to slowly roast to death if she had not come to the point of view of her interested friends and well-wishers." Philip H. of Spain said there was no crime so terrible as freedom of conscience, and he issued an edict that all who worshipped in any way save his (which was the way of his church) should be exterminated. Self Made Men in all Ages. Sell Made Men in all Ages. AESop and Honer, the most famous of early Greek writers, were respectively, if the stories told of them were true, a hunchback slave and a blind beggar. John Bunyan, author of "The Pilgrim's Progress," was a traveling trinker. Robert Burns, Scotland's lyric post, was the son of a poor nurseryman, and was himself a small farmer and a revenue officer. Christopher Columbus, discoverer of the New World, was a sailor, the son of a woolcomber. Confucius, the Chinese sage, was a boy who began life as a store-keeper. Daniel Defoe, author of "Robinson crusoe" was the son of a butcher. Charles Dickens was a label sticker a shoehacking factory. Benjamin Franklin was a journeyer, printer, the son of a tallow chandeller. Joseph Garibaldi, whom Italians were as their librator, was the son of a sailor, and was at various times woodmaker and a small farmer. Ben Jonson, on whose grave in West-ster Abbey is the famous inscription "O cure Ben Jonson," was a poor man at the stopson of a bricklayer. Mignonus, the great Swedish naturalist was a poor student who mended shoes with paper and often devised on chance generosity for a man. commanded, founder of a great re- ment, was a shepherd and a soldier early life.

When personage had been presented to be asked: "Sure, and what is the of a death in the family in this And so he and his friends burned and tortured, and hung, and beheaded, and burned alive and starved to death hundreds of thousands of good people; and all this was done in the name of Christ. And his opponents paid an eye for an eye—and slaughtered as many in retaliation. Those charming days are past, but the spirit of persecution still lives in the hearts of many "devout Christians," who are obliged to be content with making their friends and relatives miserable in the way my correspond describes. Here is an excellent test for any soul wishing to find if it is on the right path to salvation: Each morning ask yourself on awaking if there is a human being on on earth for whom you feel any ill will any one over whose misfortunes you rejoice; any one to whom you would not extend a kindness if asked. If you can answer your own soul frankly in the negative, and if you go forth toward the day with the love of God and humanity in your heart, hoping to do only good, then you need not fear you are to be "lost" however your faith may differ from that of all churches in the world. If you can not answer this question in the negative, if there is any one you dislike enough to wish ill, then be sure your religion is not the right kind. Only as it fills the heart full of love, and with pity for what is unlovable, and only as it awakens the impulse of helpfulness toward the whole struggling world, from human down to the animal kingdom, only as it brings a consciousness of universal kinship, is religion of any use in the world. That alone is the religion that "saves." A young missionary in China travelled many miles to Shanghai to meet his sweetheart, to whom he was to be married in the cathedral there. Guests and clergy were assembled, but a few minutes before the hour fixed came a message that the bride, having arrived in Shanghai, had changed her mind and decided to return to England. Terence, the Roman comic poet, was a slave. Trajan, perhaps the greatest of all Rome's emperors, was the son of a common soldier, and began his career in the ranks. Virgil, whose "Aeneid" is the typical Latin epic, was the son of a small farmer. James Watt, inventor of the condensing steam engine, was the son of a small merchant who failed in business. The Riches of Hay. Chemical analysis combined with the cost of putting up hay indicates that a dollar's worth of hay contains more nutrition than a dollar's worth of silage. Nevertheless, the practical test of the silo in the dairy proves that the succulent ensilage is vastly more valuable for the milch cow than is dry hay. It is one of the many instances therefore, where the truth of chemistry is only a half-truth, until it is modified by the facts of physiology. The cow needs succulence of ensilage when there is no green grass. Minnesota Agriculture. There will be very considerable enlargements of the Minnesota Agricultural College and Experiment Station this year. The last legislature appropriated $100,000 for additional improvements of the school, $70,000 for additional land, $3,500 for the purchase of live stock, $15,000 for a new dairy barn, $10,000 to remodel Dairy Hall, $12,000 for extension of the sewer system and $12,000 for improvements of the heating plant. Pass the Candy. In 1822 when the United States first gathered a census of the sugar consumed in this country we ate an average of nine pounds per man, woman and child in a year. Since then we have been getting sweeter every year and now we eat seventy-six pounds apiece. Please pass the candy.—Northwestern Agriculturist. er, "when your mother or wife dies you wear a wide black band around your arm or hat. If it is a son or daughter you should wear a smaller band."

A Delegation of Kansans Have Meeting with State Charter Board. State Senator Getty, in presenting a delegation of 29 citizens from Kansas City, Kansas, to the Kansas Charter Board at Topeka, said: "We come here representing various lines of business and the professions, to ask this board to make a precedent to the effect that grain companies may be chartered in Kansas. We do not represent any individual in particular, but as citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, desire to take advantage of conditions now presented of doing our share of the grain business on the Kansas side." Among those in the delegation, were, W. W. Haskell, president of the Kansas Board of Trade, A. W. Childs postmaster; Mayor Cornell and ex-Mayor Rose; Joe Taggert, Wm. Albright, T. J. White, C. K. Wells, F. D. Merstetter, J. W. West, J. W. Goble, W. B. Trembly, D. W Troup, A. L. Berger, J. E. Barker, J. W. Thomas, Frank Holcomb, Chief of Police Bowden, C. C. Christy, and B. R. Beal. During the consideration of the applications for charters the contest that has for a long time been going on between Boards of Trade in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Kansas City and the independent dealers, came up and was discussed. It was the purpose of the Kansas Board of Trade, to afford every shipper of grain a place where he could sell his stuff on easy terms and under such rules as to insure honest dealings and reasonable requirements. Mr. P. W. Goble, President of the Commercial National Bank of Kansas City, Kansas, and for years a heavy stock-feeder, complained of the unfair methods and restrictions that have heretofore obtained and urged the charter board to encourage the building up in Kansas of a market where a new and better order would apply. Senator Getty stated that it was the custom of millers to buy options to protect their grain contracts and asked Mr. Goble to explain how he purchased grain for feeding purposes. He replied that when he bought 500 or 1000 head of cattle to feed during the winter, he at the same time bought an option for March delivery. If he could buy the grain in the spring at a better price than he agreed to pay, he would sell his option and buy the stuff direct; but if it had increased in value during the winter he would then call for the delivery of the grain under his option. The Charter Board reserved its ruling until the return of its members from the Jamestown exposition Fashion Hints. A suggestion for a graceful figure: —$. The "new shape' is made of the same material as the old. Although knickerbockers are not the thing, in swell circles the breath is often found in short pants. The "butterfly tie" is still the mode, although for brunettes, in southern latitudes, hemp is sometimes used at important functions. The vogue of the "jumper" as a garment for that part of the human anatomy which does not jump would seem to logically call for the use of gaiters as corset covers. The hose-supporter has so universally superseded the elastic band, that there is nothing left of the old-fashioned garter but the "Honi soit" maxim. The turn-over collar will hold its own this season if securely fastened. In determining the quantum of sleeve regard should be had to the proportion of arm available; the less arm you have the more sleeve you will require, et vice versa. Bathing costumes this year still follow, in a general way, as heretofore, the styles set by the mermaids and the fishes. Hosiery is still worn rather full, especially by those inclined to be plump, and sometimes it is also worn thread-bare. In mõdish gloves there is no departure from the standard weight, and the period of ten seconds is still allowed for the count. In foot-wear the cardinal rule still prevails: "If the shoe fits, put it on." For evening wear at smart functions a favorite appendage among some of the ultra-fashionable is a good deal of nerve. The proper place for pads is on the walls of the cell.—Thomas Speed Mosby in the Bohemian. When dancing begins to look like hard work to you, it is another sign you are looking over your shoulder at youth. Books that are filled with divine thought are naturally immortal. The insincere man never doubts his Poor Vivian. He would not saw wood, carry out the ashes nor clear the snow from the walks and pavement. He declared to his mother that he was "above such menial service," and that "he was cut out for a poet." So he set himself to work and wrote a 20-stanza poem (?) which he entitled "Why I love" signing it "Vivian." He forthwith sent it to the editor of a magazine. In the course of time the editor returned the "poem" with this cruel note: "My dear Vivian: The reason you live is because you sent the poem by mail instead of bringing it in person."
