The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX VOL. V. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, ADLAI E. STEVENSON OF ILLINOIS. It is an undisputable fact that many of the worst enemies of the Negro in the South belong to the lily white Republican party. Lately this has been proven in many ways. Several years ago the Negroes of North Carolina assisted to elect Daniel L. Russell governor of that state, and we must not lose sight of the fact that Governor Russell is a lily white Republican and as such he did everything in his power to aid in overturning the city government of Wilmington in 1898 he not only turned his back upon the Negroes, or the very power that made it possible for him to achieve distinction; but he also called out his state troops to shoot down law-abidding and peaceful black men, women and children. Moreover, he wrote an article for the public press which was intended to inflame the minds of the people against the Negro. He went on to say that "Congressman Geo. H. White, who is the only Negro who occupies a seat in Congress, has no other qualifications to recommend him as a leader of the Negro race except the color of his skin?" The Governor closed his article by saying the Negro should be perfectly satisfied to pay taxes on what property he accumulates; but he should not be permitted to participate in the political affairs; not as long as the Negro indicates by his political conduct that he only wants power to enact in the South the scenes which have demonstrated his incapacity for self government in Hayti, Jamaica, and San Domingo." Gov. Russell is still administering the affairs of North Carolina as one of the great leaders of the lily white Republicans he is heartily in favor of disfranchising the Negro. Only a few years ago the lily white candidate for Governor of Old Virginia was a member of the State Legislature and being a lily white Republican, he introduced a bill into the Legislature favoring the establishing of a whipping-post for Negroes only, but this good lily white Republican was defeated by J. Hogg Tyler, the present Democratic Governor of Virginia. Again referring to Jim Crow car laws" in the South, every simpleton knows that the lily white Republicans carried the State of Kentucky in 1896. They elected their Governor and had a sufficient majority in the Legislature to elect a United States Senator and it the same time these lily white Republicans could have repealed the "Jim Crow car law," but we all know they did no such thing, although they had no excuse for not doing it for they had Governor Bradley and the Legislature. Does not this prove that the Republicans are only friends to the Negro near elections and t is friendship lasts no longer than they can gobble onto his vote. These and many more things are worth pondering over, and they may indicate to the Negro which way the wind is blowing. It has been stated by some very good people, and no one has come forward to deny it that the lily white Republicans of South Carolina did assist to murder Postmaster Baker and his children, and it is further asserted that one of these lily whites who helped to do the deed is at this very time employed in Washington by the Government. Whether this is true or false; it must be admitted that the government officials have so far not appeared anxious to bring to the bar of justice those who were guilty of foully slaying Postmaster Baker and his little baby. It must be further conceded and granted that President McKinley and his attorney-general have repeatedly declared that the Federal Government would not interfere no matter if one hundred or a thousand Negroes were mobbed and lynched each week. In reviewing all these weighty and far reaching questions the Negro must disabuse his mind of the idea that he is only discriminated against in states under the control of the Democratic party, and that he enjoys, unhampered, every right in states controlled by the Republican party, on the surface this may seem to be true but it is not an; have we not seen Governor John R. Tanner threaten to march to the borders of Illinois and with gattling guns and flags flying blow to pieces every Negro who attempts to seek an honest day's work upon her soil! Has that incident so quickly passed out of our memory? Have we not observed Negro children driven away from school houses here in this state by lily white Republicans in violation of her laws? Can the Negro become so blind to the truth-close his eyes and pass over these things lightly? If so, then he is incapable of drinking in those finer and more enobling sentiments which impels all honest men not to view the actions of the leaders of the Republican party through smoked glasses Let us go one step further along these lines and look at the actions of the Republican party towards the Negro in the state of Oregon the laws of that Republican state in reference to the Negro are as follows: Article 1, section 35.—"No free Negro or mulatto, not residing in this state at the time of the adoption of this constitution shall ever come, reside or be within this state, or hold any real estate, or make any contract, or maintain any suit therein; and the legislative assembly shall provide by penal laws for the removal by public officers of all such free Negroes and mulattoes, and for the effectual exclusion from the state and for the punishment of persons who shall bring them into the state or employ or harbor them therein." Article 2, section 6.—"No Negro, Chinaman, or mulatto shall have the right of suffrage." An effort was made last June by the Negroes to induce the lily white leaders of the Republican party of Oregon to repeal the above clause but they Republicans of that far western state, who love(?) the Negroes ever so well. Providing they happen to reside south of the Mason and Dixon line, rolled up 10,000 majority in favor of placing them on the same level with Chinaman. Even away out in Republican Kansas Negro boys and girls are debarred from entering the High schools on June 4, 1899, at Urbana, Ohio. Click Mitchell, the Negro, who was not guilty of committing the crime, he was charged with was mobbed and lynched, and Samuel M. Taylor, exsecretary of state, and who is now representing this government at Glasgow, Scotland, expressed his highest approval of that damnable act. In referring to that affair Mr. Taylor said: "We have no apologies to offer and Urbana cares not what is said by other communities; we did what we thought was right, and if we have done anything we ought to be sorry for we are glad of it." It must be borne in mind that Mr. Taylor, who favors mob and lynch law, is a lily white republican and at the present time he is making speeches for President McKinley and urging all the Negroes to rally around the flag and the G. O. P. James A. Mount was elected Governor of Indiana in 1896, and the majority of the Negroes voted for him for no other reason than he claims to be a lily white republican; but after they had supported him the Colored People urged the governor to permit the two Negro militia companies to become a part of the state guard of that state, but Gov. Mount refused to grant their request nevertheless he believes its the duty of all Negroes to affiliate with the Republican party. If all the above incidents are evidences of the great admiration, which the leaders of the Republican party entertain for the Negro—then we cannot refrain from exclaiming in the language of Mohament, "May Allah and his guarding angels prevent us from falling into the hands of our enemies." Dr. Julia Holmes Smith, candidate for university trustee, is one of the most accomplished women in this country; she is not only highly educated but she possesses charming manners and it is a pleasure to have the honor of coming in contact with such a woman. Dr. Smith did not attempt to freeze us still-cold when we approached her like some of the other state and county candidates; for since we have met some of these cold candidates, we have had to put on two heavy suits of under clothing and an extra pair of britches in order to thaw out. JOHN E. TRAEGER THE NEXT CORONER OF COOK COUNTY As the day of election approaches it proves that no mistake was made by the county convention in nominating John E. Traeger for Coroner of Cook County, for he is growing stronger and more popular with the voters each day. Mr. Traeger has become better known within the last few years politically and in a business way than any other one person in Chicago. He has for some time been engaged in the pork packing business and the firm with which he is associated does an extensive and profitable business. For years he was Collector for the Town of Lake, and it is ery doubtful if anyone serving in such a capacity ever made as many warm and steadfast friends as Mr. Traeger, for he was a most painstaking official and by his courteous and genial manners under all circumstances it was always a pleasure to come in M. JOHN E. TRAEGER. contact with him, while in the discharge of his official duties. Furthermore, while serving as collector Mr. Traeger did not know any man by the color of his skin and he never hesitated in permitting capable colored men being employed in his office. All of these good traits and business qualifications will be retained by Mr. Traeger, when he assumes his duties as coroner, because we feel confident that there is not the least doubt of his election for in many ways it seems almost impossible to defeat him as he is extremely popular with all classes and nationalities which means a great deal in this important election. Therefore we cannot refrain from concluding that for these reasons and the further reason that Mr. Traeger comes from that sturdy race, the German-Americans, will be victorious on Nov. 6th, and all the business in connection with the coroner's office will be conducted by Mr. Traeger with more executive ability than in the past. Let everybody vote early and late for John E. Traeger, our next coroner. In all fairness and candor it can be said that the great city of Chicago contains no worthier or more respected citizen and business man than that common sense gentleman and friend to all mankind Peter Kiolbassa, candidate for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County. Mr. Kiolbassa is so very well-known that he needs no introduction to the numerous readers of The Broad Ax. While performing the duties of City Treasurer Mr. Kiolbassa left a record behind him which so far has not been surpassed by any of his predecessors; all business pertaining to the City Treasurers office was managed by him with rare ability and no citizen had any kick coming while he ably handled all the money for the city of Chicago Mr. Kiolbassa is the highest and purest type and a fit representative of that liberty-loving race the Polish people. It might be interesting to state for the benefit of the colored people that when the war broke out between the North and the South Mr. Kiolbassa enlisted in it on the side of the Union and shortly after doing so he became captain of the 6th United States Colored Cavalry, Company E., with much pride he delights to refer to those exciting scenes, which surrounded him while commanding the colored troops, and from the very first day that Mr. Kiolbassa came in contact with the colored soldiers to the present time his big sympathetic heart has never failed to contain a warm and a bright spot for the Afro-American race. Consequently we hope and believe that many colored voters throughout Chicago and Cook County will on the day of election record their votes in favor of Peter Kiolbassa. Nothing shows how far off from a people's government is ours in states, towns, counties and nation than the enormous taxes that have slowly yet by year occured. As not one person in ten thousand ever think about it longer than to grumble when trying to pay the taxes of the year, as all the public business is left entirely in charge of officials who not really seek to get all they can in republics, the result is a burden that must become intolerable. It does and the masses then naturally seek to evade taxes by owning little or no property. In villages a few soon get to own all the tenements and cottages and gather the taxes out of the renters by raising rent. The writer has lived in new counties where taxes were so trifling no one cared or felt the least oppressive from tmhem. The public service was just as good as it ever became all the roads, bridges, etc., were just as good as they are now, although the populations were very small. There was very little wealth to be taxed. Today all those counties are densely people, wealth has increased beyond all calculation. Although there is so many more to help pay the taxes, and is so much more wealth yet the taxes have risen outrageously. Formerly they were but from three to five mills on the dollar. Now they are from thirty to fifty at the very least. I speak only of state and county taxes—because that true national taxes have risen from fifty cents per capita to eleighteen times more since 1843. Bear in mind I state the public services is no better, and that in some of the counties they have had, till very lately at least, the same old public buildings and old bridges and no better roads. In fact, as the railroads have caused the dirt roads to be much less used, they are not so good as formerly, when crowded with all kinds of travel and traffic. Moreover, while the people had some influence tax titles were construed to be worthless by the courts. That was when men had some inalienable rights. To take his property by tax law every little even ment minute provision of the law must have been completed with by assessors and collectors. It must be assessed in the real owner' name, and be exactly described and all must be done when, where and how the law required. To-day it matters not how many blunders are made by assessors, etc.—your home may be sold over you and your bed under you, and you have no recourse. The people have now upon them several old Men of the Mountain in the shape of governments that are riding them to death and those Old Men have armies of soldiers, police, possess, deputies, etc., when to call to them and in case the unruly beast of burden grows restive or prances roughly Nothing like a strong government. It flatters us to think we are the governers and our government is strong. That means we are strong, and the "Trooly Soil" men believe anything else. HOLT. NEGRO PREACHERS PLEASE READ. Mr. Editor, that is one reason why so many of the Colored people are in Ignorance today is on the account of these would-be leaders Jack leg preachers, it is a shame that they are allowed to stand in the pulpit before young, intelligent Colored boys and girls, it is a shame to send our boys and girls to schools all the week, seeking an education that they might reach a high standard and be able to battle with the world intelligently then have them to go to a church on Sunday and listen to a cheap John Jack leg preacher they profess to have been called by the Lord to preach, but they misunderstood their call, it was a call to make rails or husk corn or saw wood it is very hard for an intelligent person to understand why an intelligent bishop will put such cattle on to the intelligent Colored people at this age and time they are big baloons filled with poor gas, they are only receiving the republican skim milk for their service. I am glad to say that Warren County has but a very few long sap headed Negroes who are afraid of their Republican bosses, they would like to be honest with themselves, but are afraid they showed more fight to their masters during the days of slavery than they dare show to the republican masters now. Just as soon as the Colored man will learn to devide his vote with the different political parties like other nationalities then we will be respected by all parties. What are we keeping the Repub- licans in power for? What are they doing for the interest of the Colored man? The Republicans well know that if the Negro vote was taken from them they could never elect a president. I notice whenever a republican finds that a Colored man is going $ \mathrm{t}_{0} $ vote the Democratic ticket, they don't have no love for him, but if white men votes the Democratic ticket he is treated with respect by a Republican. Let us teach them a lesson on Nov. the 6th. G. W. JONES. Kirkwood, Ill. CUT THIS OUT AND PASTE IT YOUR HAT. Ever since the citizens of the District were deprived of their right of franchise, we as a race, have become lesser and lesser in the political scale. A little over a quarter of a century ago a superintendent of public schools, the tax collector and the treasurer of the District of Columbia were members of our race, a little over twelve years ago a superintendent of schools and the collector of taxes of the District were members of our race. Three months ago the autonomy of the public school system was in our hands through a superintendent who was a member of our race. Today an assistant superintendent is all that is left us. "Leaf by leaf the roses fall, Drop by drop the spring runs dry" and thus we grow beautifully less.— The Colored American. Brother Cooper, did not the Republican party disfranchise the colored people of the District of Columbia. If so, why do you not inform your readers of the fact, or does it depend upon whose ox is gored. We hope you are able to see what we mean. CHIPS. There is no flies on Alderman Julius Goldzier, and he is bound to be the next State's Attorney of Cook County. R. B. Organ, candidate for president of the Board of county commissioners, has hosts of friends among the colored people and many of them will vote for him. Joseph E. Flanagan, candidate for county commissioner and the Broad Ax, have shook hands and made up, and from now on, Mr. Flanagan is willing to sound its praises. John Czekala, who lives on the norwest side will be elected as one of the commissioners of Cook county and he is doing good and effective work for the whole county ticket. After the 1st of next January, Henry Stuckhart will become a member of the Board of Assessors of Cook county, and with Mr. Stuckhart, James J. Gray and Peter Kiolbassa upon the Board the interest of the tax payers will be looked after in good old Democratic fashion. Next Tuesday night the Afro-American Democrats of the 29th, 30th and 31st Wards will hold a meeting at 5551 Wentworth avenue, and a hearty invitation is extended to all to be present and hear the speaking. Ladies are also invited. Congressman George P. Foster, has not the least doubt of not only his re-election but he is of the opinion that the entire Democratic ticket will pull through in this county and state. Congressman Foster is up to snuff and he is positive that he has his political fences in good shape. George W. Hardy, who has resided in the 30th Ward for many years is well known to all Democratic workers in the Town of Lake. Mr. Hardy is a credit to the Negro race for he is strictly honest, and he freely pays out his money towards helping' to support the Broad Ax. Emil Hoechster, Democratic candidate for member of Congress, 6th Congressional District, will, if all signs do not fail, triumph over his Republican opponent. Mr. Hoechster belongs to the German-American race and is an honorable and upright man, who is well fitted to sit in the halls of Congress. Col. A. D. Gash, who is coming to the front as one of Chicago's leading lawyers, returned home from Washington, D. C., and the East, Monday. The Colonel is a warm friend of The Broad Ax, and Col. Wm. J. Bryan and he feels sure that Col. Bryan will be the next President of the United States. M. J. Butler seems to be gaining new strength every day and while he may encounter a little opposition in the west end of the 29th Ward, still it is believed by his many friends that no amount of knifing can pre- vent him from being elected to the state senate from the fourth senatorial district. Hurrah! for M. J. Butler, he is all right! Maurice A. McCabe, Democratic nominee for Assembly, Second District, comprising the second and fourth wards of the city of Milwaukee, Wis., feels reasonably certain of his election. Many colored people reside in Mr. McCabe's district and they all speak of him in the highest terms they say that he is their friend and many of them will vote for him. If all those claiming to be Democrats were as earnestly in the cause as City Sealer James A. Quinn, there would not be one Republican in Cook county. For the past two months Mr. Quinn has paid the rent for the large Colored Democratic Club of his Ward and he is a thorough believer in Negro Democracy and if James A. Quinn was to run for Mayor of Chicago thousands and thousands of colored voters would rally to his support. Last Thursday, Oct. 18, the I. B. W. Club, met at the residence of Mrs. C. Macon, 606 Fifty-sixth street, a large number of women were present. The Charity Section had charge of the program. Mrs Anna Tucker had a very ably prepared paper on "Kind Hearts Overcome Evil," a general discussion followed and Mrs. Tucker was highly complimented on the beautiful ideas and thoughts which she gave expressions to in her paper. Monday night many Democats residing in the east end of the 30th Ward assembled at the club rooms, 5551 Wentworth avenue, and more than a good social time was enjoyed by all and Julius F. Taylor presided. Short speeches were made by Robert T. Sims, Mr. Hodson, Hon. M. J. Butler and others. The east end bum quartette furnished the singing which delighted the gathering. Next Monday night another meeting will be held at the same place and all weakneed Republicans are invited to attend. The Phyllis Wheatley club met at their ooms, 5058 Dearborn street Wednesday. After the order of business, a program in charge of the Educational section was listened to. Mrs. S. B. Jones of Vincennes, Ind., was the speaker and the subject, "The Relation of the Parents to the Teacher." Mrs. Jones is a woman of great intellect and has a very pleasing address. Her remarks were full of sound practical sense and to the point. A lively discussion followed on the subject. Next Wednesday, Oct. 24th, the Industrial Department will have charge subject, "The Importance of Industrial Training." Speaker, Mrs. Rev. Wm. Gray, also Miss Hatta Kline will speak on "The Lawson Home at Atlanta, Ga. The Colored Democratic Central Committee of Cook county met at its headquarters, 145 Randolph street, Monday afternoon. The meeting was largely attended and acting chairman of the County Central Committee, John J. Hayes addressed the committee and complimented it on its thorough organization. He assured Chairman Newby and his associates that he could scent Democratic victory in the air. At the conclusion of 'Mr. Hayes' common sense talk. Alderman John J. Coughlin, very earnestly poured out his eloquence and it was declared by many that the Alderman never spoke as well or as enthusiastically as he did on this occasion. Chief Detective Colleran and Capt. Hannibal C. Carter, were the other principal speakers. The Conservator in its last issue upbraided some of the best element of the Afro-Americans of Chicago, because they refrain from attending churches presided over by colored preachers—it, The Conservator, says "Chicago is cursed with a conceited class of foppish Negroes who openly boast that they never attend "nigger" churches, and care nothing about nigger religion." We know not why so very many colored people have drifted away from our colored churches unless it is that they have made up their minds not to frequent these churches as long as they are pastored by men who will persist in using them for political purposes. We are not trying to get away from the race, Elder Wilkins, but we have fully made up our minds not to bother our head about going to any colored church in this city until after they are cleansed from politics. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Parmara, Catholics, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Indians, Mormons, Republicans, Priests, or any else can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed. The Broad Ax is a newspaper whose platform is broad enough for all, ever claiming the editorial right to speak its own mind.

Eight years ago Slavation Army officers were forbidden by the authorities to say "Hallelujah" in the streets of Berlin; today the army meets nightly in twenty halls in the city. The school children of Jersey City were the principal contributors to the Galveston relief fund there. They gave about $1,100 in money, which is $300 more than the mayor got from all other sources; and they also came to school laden with wearing apparel, canned fruits and vegetables, which when arranged for transportation filled eight trucks. "Music has won more battles than gunpowder," said a great general. Certainly more flags have been taken by Sousa's band the past summer than by all our armies in the field. Nearly every city in Europe has presented Sousa with a civic banner, and his so-called "American" music has marched triumphant through camps usually half-hostile to the "States." May such peaceful victories attend "The Stars and Stripes Forever!" A. R. Julian was a preacher at Chadron, Neb., three years ago. In the estimation of his flock he was doing good work, but was unable to reach his own ideal of what a pastor should be. Therefore he bought a newspaper, which he ran in vigorous, clean style for over two years. And now, feeling confident that his editorial experience has left him better fitted for pulpit- eering, he has sold his paper and will re- enter the ministry. Nothing has been heard of Princess Chimay for a long time, but probably this is due to the fact that her domestic troubles are now at an end, and that her husband has forgiven her for her indiscreet adventures with the Hungarian gipsy Rigo. The prince and princess are now in Paris, and the last that was heard of the violinist Rigo was to the effect that he was somewhere in Africa. Photographs of the princess are no longer on sale either in Paris or Vienna, and big sums are consequently offered for the picture of her as she appeared on the Parisian variety stage. There may be much scientific and literary sympathy between nations which are politically uncongenial. There is a current medical proverb in Europe that when a thing is verified on the banks of the Spree, as well as on the banks of the Seine, that is, when Berlin and Paris agree, there must be something in it. So much has been added to our knowledge of the physical history of the race by study and experiments in France and Germany, that the proverb is worthy to be remembered when the political relations of the two countries are in question. Moreover, it is not best for the world to emphasize the fraternizings rather than the estrangements of the nations? A Swiss factory inspector reports that two years ago a company of workmen objected to an improved ventilating apparatus because it would breed rheumatism. This summer the same laborers refused to go to another building because it lacked that ventilating apparatus. Since these men seem to have learned a useful lesson, why not import them to America and distribute them about the country as church janitors? An Ohio minister recently had to stop his sermon while two fainting women were carried out. An investigating stranger afterward discovered that the janitor had nailed the new memorial windows so that they could not be opened, because his occasional substitute had a bad habit of trying to air the church! A terrible drama has just been enacted at Algalba, in Murcia, a mad prophetess as its central figure. She is a young peasant woman of 24, named Teresa Guillen, who took to prophecy and preaching several months ago, and after stirring up many disorderly pilgrimages was locked up as a religious maniac. A fortnight ago she was allowed to return home, and once more crowds began to assemble, spellbound by the impassioned ecstasy of he rharangues. She was preaching before a large concourse of people, when five gendarmes arrived to arrest her. The ignorant peasants, worked upon by the wild appeals of the silby, attacked the police with fury, and in the light which ensued, four gendarmes were mortally wounded, while sixteen persons in the crowd were seriously hurt. The woman's father and brother Utilizes Waste WRITEROFRAREGIFT WAS THE LATE PREMIER MAR-CHAND OF QUEBEC. All of His Works Were Written in the French Language—Greatly Admired in Canada, Europe and the United States. Felix Gabriel Marchand, prime minister of the province of Quebec, died last week in Montreal. For six years he held the office of premier and for a long time he was the leader of the opposition in the Quebec parliament. Mr. Marchand was born at St. Johns in 1832 and was educated at St. Hyacinthe college. He was distinguished not only for his abilities as a statesman, but for his rare gifts as a poet. His poetical works were wirtten in French and have a wide circle of readers in this country and also in Paris, where they are greatly admired and praised A. FELIX G. MARCHAND. by men of letters. Although a liberal and a friend of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr. Marchand was a thorough believer in British institutions and proved his loyalty by leading a regiment of the militia against the Fenian raiders in 1870. He made his debut in politics in 1867, when he was first elected to the legislative assembly. From that time until ten years ago he was returned at each general election without opposition. In 1890 he had an opponent, but he was elected by an overwhelming majority. He was re-elected in 1892. Mr. Marchand was deeply interested in educational progress, a characteristic made manifest by the little violet button he ever wore upon the lapel of his coat. This was the gift of France and entitled him to be called "officer of public instruction." He was a member of the Royal Society of Canada, a friend of science and a gentleman acceptable in all ways. USES OF ALUMINUM. Nicola Teals Believes It Will Supersede All Other Metals. In a contribution to the Century Magazine, Nicola Tesla writes interestingly on the present and future uses of aluminum. Tesla is something of a brilliant theorist in his line, much as the Frenchman Flammarion is in the line of astronomy. Yet Tesla has accomplished some wonderful things, and his opinions are deserving of attention when he speaks on subjects connected with electricity. Tesla believes that just as we have had an age of stone, an age of brass, an age of iron and an age of steel—not to speak of a golden age—the coming century will usher in an age of aluminum. When we consider that it is only seventy years since this wonderful metal was first discovered and that the aluminum industry is scarcely forty years old, it must certainly be admitted that wonderful progress has already been made. One conclusion arrived at by Tesla which will be welcomed by electric companies, and will be quite otherwise regarded by those interested in copper mining, is that the advance of the aluminum industry will result in the annihilation of the copper industry—that they cannot exist and prosper together. Even now it is cheaper to convey an electric current through aluminum wires than through copper wires. Aluminum castings cost less, and in many domestic and other uses copper has no chance to successfully compete. A further material reduction of the price of aluminum cannot but be fatal to copper. Tesla believes that the big cop- A number of furnace appliances have already been designed to make use of the culm, or waste, always to be seen near large coal breakers, which has hitherto been considered as so much rubbish. In our illustration is shown one of the newest of these devices, which has just been patented. It has the advantage of feeding the fuel into the combustion chamber without the employment of a forced draught, as is usual with this class of feeder. At the top of the mechanism is seen the hopper, in which the culm is placed, while at the bottom of the hopper is a rotary brush, which serves to powder the culm and deliver it to the feeding brush underneath. The opening between the brush chambers is a long, narrow slot, which may be varied in width to regulate the quantity discharged. The lower chamber has an opening into the combustion chamber, and it is easy to see that the rotation of the brush will feed the culm in a spray. As the brushes are rotated by the engine a little attention to the adjustment of the opening between the per companies, foreseeing this result, will endeavor to absorb the aluminum industry. With a metal that is so widely distributed over the world this, however, would be no easy job. Tesla even goes farther than this and claims that before many years aluminum will run iron very close. The possibilities of this metal are indeed wonderful. There is said to be thirty times as much aluminum as iron in bulk available for the use of man. Among other things aluminum may revolutionize naval construction and will make aerial travel a possibility. Indian Snake Jugglers. Capt. R. H. Ellitt, who has been for some time conducting researches into the nature and action of snake venom in India, has arrived at the following conclusions: First, the snake men of south India are certainly ignorant of any method of producing in themselves a highly developed condition of immunity; second, some few of them appear to practice the swallowing of venom or the inunction of venom into their limbs, but it is doubtful if they thus obtain some degree of immunization; third, they confine themselves almost exclusively to the cobra and escape harm by their increased knowledge of the methods of handling this snake. DEVICE TO BURN GARBAGE. A novel as well as economical device for burning waste paper and combustible refuse that accumulates about houses, offices, stores, flat buildings and premises has been invented by Chicagoans. It is called the refuse burner and is constructed and operated on the draught principle. The simplicity of the device, together with the moderate cost, accentuate its usefulness. There are two sizes of the boxes, or cans. One is adapted to flat buildings, where it is set up in the cellar or basement, as shown in the cut. The other is smaller and is made to take the place of the garbage can and may sit anywhere about the premises, where not inconvenient, to receive deposits of combustible refuse. When the boxes are filled with paper and the like, the contents are ignited from underneath and burned with quickness and without smoke. Flues on the interior and running lengthwise of the box or burner admit the air from the bottom and this air creates a blaze so intense that the refuse and smoke are entirely consumed. The inventors have tested the device before a large number of persons in Chicago with successful results. These tests show that the burner will destroy three-fourths of all garbage that accumulates about a house or building and at a nominal cost. It answers the A man in a suit stands next to a trash bin. CAN FOR BURNING GARBAGE. purpose of three similar boxes or garbage cans. It is well known that the system of dumping paper and the like into garbage cans and then loading and hauling it away is the cause of much of the litter in alleys and about the steets. The province of the refuse burner is to obviate all this and to do it economically. Whale Fishing Not Extinct Whale fishing is not extinct in the United States, but it is gradually and slowly becoming so. From 1850 to 1875 the annual product of the American whale fisheries fell from 100,000 barrels of sperm oil to 42,000, of whale oil from 300,000 to 35,000, and of whalebone from 5,000,000 pounds to 400,000. two chambers will set the mechanism to work automatically all day without attention.

It is a solid-tired machine, into the front wheel of which, within the spokes, a Harveyized steel plate, which is proof against rifle fire with service ammunition from 300 to 350 yards, is inserted. When laid down and with the handle bars resting on the ground, it WITH THE ARMOR PLATE SHIEF SERVICE AND forms a perfect screen for the riflemen, as shown in the accompanying picture.

After trudging all day long the top of the mountain with no success at all, inasmuch as I had shot several times, but failed to bring down my game, I ran across an old hunter, J. W. Hyde. After the usual greeting we seated ourselves on an old log to exchange notes. I put the question: "Why are the turkeys always on the run when I see them?" The old man spit through his teeth, laid his long, muzzle-loading rifle on the ground, put the fourth portion of a plug of tobacco in his mouth, and proceeded to tell me why the turkeys were always on the run when I saw them. "Of all the game I have ever hunted, turkeys display the most wonderful power of vision. I cannot tell just why this is. I have made a microscopical examination of the eyes of the hawk, eagle, fox, weasel and owl, but find no material difference in the lens and retina; the ciliary muscles and the iris AN AFRIC When civilization first penetrates into a savage country it has many funny aspects. Not long ago an explorer in South Africa visited a valley where it is thought no white man ever had been before, and found the natives playing croquet. One of the savages had visited a settlement on the coast and being struck with the game, had brought a croquet set back with him. The opening of the Uganda railway running up from Mombasa on the east coast of Africa into the interior has suddenly brought the arts and amusements of civilization into a region hitherto little visited by white men. At a recent native religious holiday at Mombasa the natives, who probably had seen pictures of the Ferris wheel in the illustrated papers, sent to the railroad men, resolved to make a wheel for themselves of the same pattern. How they succeeded in shown in the picture. The wheel, whatever its defects may appear to be from an American or European viewpoint, was the great success of the celebration. IRISH COUNTRY TOWN. Pen Picture of Cullaghmore, Where Bents Are Low. Here in Cullaghmore the main road is lined by mud-walled cabins, which rise from mud floors that are lower than the roadway, so that the rain water pours over the doorsill. Eyes and ears and nose are offended. The dwellers never wash themselves or their children, who shriek and swear among the pigs and poultry; as turf is dear, they burn malodorous substitutes, says the Cornhill Magazine. The air is not redolent of the sharp peetreek, which is the sweetest smell in an Irishman's noirris; if you have been away for a time, it is the faint smell of burning turf, as it mingles with the scent of the hedgerows, which brings close to you that you are no longer in cold, staid England, but have returned home, sweet home. These dwellers by the wayside, children of Gibeon, have no wish to better their lot by removal; they are contented to dwell whither it has pleased God to call them, so long as He gives them the daily bread which they hate to seek and toil for. All would fain be lords of the cabin whereof their fathers were lords, and though they cannot now sing with Herrick, We pay for our poor tenement. the judicial rent is no more than the cabins are worth. It is a life of little ease and no comfort; they look forward to marrying their eldest son, by guard. The armored bicycle weighs less than fifty pounds, and is by no means unsightly. It is the invention of Wyley Lord, of Walmer. One of the most interesting features of the fight on Bank Holiday was the working cf a brace of machine guns mounted on cycle carriages by the LD ATTACHED—THE ARMORED BIG D USED AS A BREASTWORKS—THE Twenty-sixth Middlesex, V. R. C. They were first placed on Piecombe street, a shelf which abuts from the southern face of Wolstenbury Hill. The latter rises from the valley in which it are exactly the same; yet none of these keen-visioned creatures can compare with the turkey in point of seeing. I remember the acuteness of sight displayed by an old gobbler in the spring of 1892. I had carefully concealed myself, and no part of my body was visible but the upper portion of my head. A puff of wind slightly disturbed the brim of my hat; he saw it and immediately took to flight. On another occasion I was hunting in the mountains in Georgia. I was lying behind a log and was carefully hidden, all but the upper part of my face. A turkey was slowly coming in response to my call, and was carefully noticing for signs of danger. A mosquito was stinging me fearfully on the forehead; I raised my finger slowly to crush it, and as soon as the finger came within the range of vision, cluck went the turkey and he was gone. Now, the most inexplicable thing in regard to hunting turkeys is that, with all his acuteness of sight, the surest way to get a shot is to sit down in an open place with your AN FERRIS the matchmaker's aid, to a girl with a dowry, and then living as lodgers in the same cabin with him and his wife and a new family. The custom is kindly and thriftless, and in England would certainly lead to domestic murder, as, if Zola tells the truth, it does lead thither in France. It is commonplace to say that the Irish flourish anywhere save in Ireland, but it is truer that there are no Irish anywhere else, for they change their minds as well as their sky when they fare across the sea, just as the potato, if planted in a tropical climate, becomes something other than itself. So for all those who live therein God may have made a better place than Cullaghmore, but doubtless never did. Caleb Powers and Number "13." Powers, the Kentuckian convicted of complicity in the murder of Goebel, may be excused if he put some faith in the idea that thirteen is an unlucky number. He was nominated for office June 13, 1899; arraigned July 13, 1900, as one of thirteen conspirators named; was defended by thirteen lawyers; his sweetheart was the thirteenth witness; the evidence showed that 1,300 soldiers were ready to defend him; he gave Culton $1,300 to pay the expenses of the mountaineers; he took $1,300 with him when he fled; the evidence closed Aug. 13.

An aesthetic English Vicar at Wembley will not allow the word "died" to be put on the tombstones of the people buried in the cemetery. He insists on phrases like "departed this life" or "passed away" or "entered into rest," and says that "died" is a denial of the Christian teaching of immortality. Knowledge Through Suffering.

S WHEEL WEIGHT AT SARATOGA. Large Women Are All the Rage at the Famous Spa. Never before at Saratoga have large women—women of stature and weight or either—been as much in style as during the present season. Men who have been visiting Saratoga for thirty years solemnly affirm, that never during the whole time were there so many women who weighed from 175 to 200 pounds as are on view this season. There is also expert testimony to be secured that never have there been so many ovedresssed women and such a vast display of diamonds, turquoise and marquise rings. One of the women guests at the Grand Union hotel is conspicuous for both her weight and height. She is at least six feet three inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. She is also accounted the most tastefully garbed woman in Saratoga, for in spite of her immense proportions she is most admirably and suitably gowned, both morning and evening. The other large ladies who sit on the piazas of the Grand Union hotel are dying to find out the name of her dressmaker. A well known actress, who is herself well advanced in the heavy-weight class, said the other evening that she had never seen a large woman who was so properly attired. "I will find out her dressmaker," she said, "because I need her. She must be a wonder." Measures, not men, have always been my mark.—Goldsmith. This question arises in the family every day.

Partitioned indirectly as master De, Chance HOW TOM THUMB COT HIS TITLE. The Name Was Given by Barnum and the "General" by Order of Queen Victoria. The Countess Magri, formerly Mrs. Tom Thumb, in a paper in the Woman's Home Companion entitled "The Recollections of a Midget," gives the following account of how the famous dwarf came by his name: "In speaking of Mr. Stratton I have used the name General Tom Thumb, for by that name the public best knew him. Perhaps a statement of how he received his title will be of interest—a story which even Mr. Barnum has neglected to make known, but which Mr. Stratton himself told me. When Mr. Barnum first made his acquaintance and persuaded his parents to allow their child to travel it was thought a good scheme to introduce him to the public as 'Tom Thumb.' So as Tom Thumb he was heralded by all the skill which made Barnum so famous, and by that name he was introduced to Queen Victoria and many of the royal and titled frequenters of St. James. "On his first visit he had amused the Queen by asking particularly after the Prince of Wales, and when he was the second time summoned to appear at the palace he was presented both to the Prince of Wales and to the Princess Royal, who afterward became Empress of Germany. As he stood beside the children his smallness was more noticeable. The Duke of Wellington was present, and noticed this fact, evidently with much interest, as he said to some one standing near, 'Their Royal Highnesses are head and shoulders taller than Tom Thumb.' 'This remark,' the General told me, 'was overheard by the Queen, and turning to the Duke she said, "General Tom Thumb." Bowing low to Her Majesty the Duke gave me the military salute, repeating the title "General Tom Thumb." Everybody bowed, and although I did not fully comprehend then that Her Majesty's simple say-so could make it unchangeable, I found that ever after that I was always addressed as General.' "Mr. Stratton also said that he knew enough of the war history of the Duke of Wellington to be greatly interested in him, and to feel that an introduction to this 'great fighter,' as he called him, was worth more than a chat with this royal boy and girl."

A Dog as a Good Samaritan. A butcher of Wissahickon has a little dog that is so clever that it is sent every morning to the baker's with a basket for a dozen rolls. The baker always gave it thirteen, but there came a day when the dog brought home only twelve. Next day and the next it continued to be a roll short. The baker declared he had never placed less than thirteen in the basket. It was determined to watch the dog. It got its basket filled at the baker's, and then set out for home by a roundabout way. It entered the yard of a stranger. In a kennel lay a mother dog with a litter of new-born pups. The visitor took out a roll in his mouth, pushed it into the kennel, took up his basket again and came home. The trick was so captivating that the dog was not interfered with. He continued his attentions to his friend until she was able to be about again. Since then he has brought home thirteen rolls—Philadelphia Record. Histories in French Public Schools. Histories in French Public Schools. The histories which have been taught in French public schools during the last hundred years would make an interesting subject for investigation, since each party or dynasty which came to the top has always taken good care to educate the children in its own peculiar views. The most comic, perhaps, is the history which was issued after the return of the Bourbons, in which a certain "General Bonaparte" is represented as having won many celebrated victories for, and under the direction of, the good King Louis. One would hardly have suspected a Bourbon historian of such horrific audacity.—London Globe. Cured of Catarrh of Long Standing. Ex-Congressman A. T. Goodwyn. Ex-Congressman A. T. Goodwyn, from Alabama, writes the following letter: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—"I have now used two bottles of Peruna, and am a well man today. I could feel the good effects of your medicine before I had used it a week, after suffering with catarrh for over a year." Respectfully, A. T. Goodwyn. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a national curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. Public men of all parties recognize in Peruna a national catarrh remedy of unequaled merit. Send to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, for a tree book on catarrh. The Prominent Feature Why do all writers and talkers on beauty conspire to neglect the most prominent feature? We hear a great deal about eyes, complexion, lips, hair, expression, even ears, but very rarely anything at all about noses. The heroine may have the most glorious orbs in the world, but who would look at her if she hadn't a nose? Whereas, if she had a good nose, what an amount of sympathy she would command if she had the misfortune to be blind as well. The fact is that a person without a nose is simply disgusting. When Gaspard de Tavannes said to Queen Catherine de Medicis that at a word from her he would cut off Diane de Poitiers' nose, he knew what he was about. The favorite's reign would not outlive this reduction of her charms. Therefore,let there be no more injustice to noses. Their prominence should be recognized. DISCOVERIES OF THE CENTURY. It is fortunate, since there are left no new lands to be discovered on this terrestrial globe, that inventive man has turned his mind to more useful things.

I ache all the time at the lower part of the womb. The doctor says the womb is covered with ulcers. I suffer with a pain on the left side of my back over the kidney. I am fifty years old and passing through the change of life. Please advise me what to do to get relief. Would like to hear from you as soon as possible." Mrs. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON, Monclova, Ohio. "I have been taking your remedies, and think they have helped me a great deal. I had been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The most that troubles me now is the flowing. That is not so bad, but still there is a little every day. I am not discouraged yet, and shall continue with your medicine for I believe it will cure me."—MRS. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON, Moncloya, Ohio. "I send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick for about nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and all said there was no help for me. My trouble was change of life. I suffered with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back ache, headache, and dizziness. I am well and strong, and feel like a new person. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew me. I owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I would not do without your medicine for anything. There is no need of women suffering so much if they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure."—Mrs. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON, Monclova, Ohio When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine, it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all true as stated in her three letters published above at her own request. As a matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period "Change of Life."

"And what, then, do you think of English men?" said the duke. "Oh, I think highly—very highly, of all English men," said the emperor, very gravely, "simply because they are related to English women." Fruit-Growing in United States The United States lead all other nations in the matter of fruit growing. Strawberries were valued at $80,000,000 last year and grapes at $100,000,000. Peach orchards containing as many as 300,000 trees are to be found, while the apple crop has been known to return in barrels $10,000,000 in one season. Of these England has taken 3,000,000 barrels. French Automation Car. Mayor Mott, United States military representative at the recent French army maneuvers, reports that the autraction car, which is of immense services in the French army commissariat, allowing six or seven heavily loaded cars over the excellent roads of that country, would be of no use whatever on the "rough American roads."

Most of the hats shown were to be worn off one face, and green was seen in many of them. An effective hat was of gilt, with cord of white chenille overlaid in circles. A whole sable was used as decoration in place of feathers. One of the newest shapes was covered with green velvet, while rose leaves in vivid greens, shading to autumn tints, covered the brim. At a Paris millinery opening a few days ago an elegant hat called "L'Aiglon" was in the distinctive three-cornered shape, with the point in front and was of black velvet and the crown and brim were edged with gilt lace. On the left side was a pompon of cock feathers, while a bow made a finish at the back. The manufacturers claim, however, that all this is not in defiance of the Audubon societies, but that only the edible birds are to be used for millinery adornment. It has been stated that the plumage of barnyard fowls, all of which are more or less beautiful, and many richly brilliant in coloring, are sufficient for these garnitures. An extremely large hat had a facing of alternating white, black and gilt tucks. About the crown was a voluminous drapery of black tulle, with gilt cord. A large black plume and black roses decorated the left side. This will be a "feather season." Every form and fancy is carried out in wings, breats and pompons—in fact, entire hats are shown in feathers. COLLEGE NOTES. The attendance at Missouri University is over 1,300 or nearly double the number of students in 1894 and 1895. The enrollment of the University of California will exceed 3,000 students. Within ten years the attendance has increased 400 per cent. Professor Brander Matthews has opened a new course of lectures on the history and methods of English comedy at Columbia University. Colorado college opened its fall term with the largest enrollment in its history. Dr. John C. Shedd and Dr. Thomas K. Urdahl have been added to the faculty. Work on a new science building will be commenced soon. Dean Huntington of Boston University has given the students to understand that no sophomore-freshman fracases will be tolerated, and the freshman class was permitted this year to hold its election in peace. Logging operations on the tract of the Cornell College of Forestry, in the Adirondacks, are in full blast, some thirty-five men being employed. Forty men are engaged in building a railroad six miles in length, which is to be in operation by Dec. 1. The largest building in this country devoted solely to agricultural education is that which now stands on the south campus of the University of Illinois. In its construction $150,000 has been expended, and the equipment will cost fully $16,000. BROADWAY, 456 Tafelts Ave. Lawrence M. Ennis, Advocate and Counselor at Law, Suite 226 Opera House Block. S.

Branch Office, 501 Wentworth au LONGAVITA The Tablet of Life (Pilula At Lomgan Vitam.) The Scientific Discovery of the Age! The Magic Key to the Mystery of Life! From times immemorial it has been man's predominating ambition to prolong Life. But among the many brilliant minds, who have devoted their lives to the fascinating subject. It was left for the immortal Darwin to give to the world, in his great theory of Life, the fundamental principle upon which to build all further research in this direction. Following closely in his footsteps came Prof. Dr. Ludwig Buechner, a German scientist of international renown, with his remarkable work entitled "Das Buch des Langen Lebens" (the book on Longevity). But alas, like Darwin he too died, ere he could reap the fruit of his wonderful doctrine. Others however, equally great took up the interrupted thread with the result that two famous German scientists, after years of experiments and research, have at last discovered the secret of Longevity, in the shape of a remarkable Vegetable Compound, which, if properly used, will positively prolong Life. This new remedy, appropriately named "Longavita" (meaning Long Life) has been subject to the most rigid tests at all the leading clinics and hospitals throughout Europe with marvelous results. Appreciating the importance of this discovery, we have acquired, at enormous cost, the exclusive proprietary right to this truly wonderful preparation, which has proved a blessing to mankind. "Longavita" is the true Tablet of life, a rejuvenator excellence, embodying the veritable secret of longevity in a practical, feasible form. It is the fountain of perpetual youth, which it prolongs far beyond its present limits, while retaining health in a perfectly normal state. "Longavita" brightens the eye, stimulates mental activity, gives elasticity to the step, makes the face full, absorbs wrinkles, cleanses the system, purifies the skin, and is the only true Ponce de Leon remedy for old and young of both sexes.
