The Broad Ax

HON. ALEXANDER SULLIVAN ELABORATED BEFORE THE MEN'S SUNDAY CLUB ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DANIEL O'CONNELL. Sunday, December 2, the members of the Men's Sunday Club, which holds forth at Quinn Chapel, had the honor of being addressed by Hon. Alexander Sullivan, the noted lawyer, who held his audience spell-bound while he familiarized them with the career and the life and times of Daniel O'Connell, the Irish patriot and lover of liberty. Armant's Orchestra executed some exceedingly fine selections for the occasion, and before President A. H. Roberts presented Mr. Sullivan, he referred to the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan were favorably inclined toward the colored race: that at the time the women's clubs of this city closed and barred their doors against Afro-American women, Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan, with their voices and with their pens, through the public press, advocated the admission of Colored women into white clubs. This announcement from President Roberts brought a hearty applause from the members and lady friends of the club, for it was Ladies, day and a goodly number of them were present. In closing his remarks President Roberts also said that Mr. Sullivan attended Quinn Chapel the night Mrs. Josephine St. P. Ruffin spoke and when she concluded Mr. Sullivan informed Mr. Roberts that he would consider it an honor to be presented to Mrs. Ruffin. This statement from Mr. Roberts was warmly received by those who had assembled to hear Mr. Sullivan. At the very outset Mr. Sullivan let it be known that he did not intend to indulge in any oratorical flights, but what he had to say in reference to the "Life and Times of Daniel O'Connell" would be related in an ordinary manner. As he proceeded he paid, a glowing tribute to Abraham Lincoln and likened him to Jesus of Nazareth. He compared Daniel O'Connell with Frederick Douglas, and these comparisons pleased his hearers. He dwelt at considerable length on the hardships, trials and privations which Daniel O'Connell went through with and had to endure before he succeeded in reaching that lofty eminence which has been attained by only a few men who came up from the lowest depth of mankind. Like Daniel O'Connell, who lived at a time when aristocracy ruled the whole universe. Mr. Sullivan very vividly portrayed the wretched condition of the Irish people at the time Daniel O'Connell traversed all parts of Ireland for the purpose of addressing them and to rekindle the flame of liberty and freedom within their hearts. He maintained that no other living man other than Daniel O'Connell, could have swayed the people as he did. Sometimes he talked to two hundred and fifty thousand people. Of course, it was not supposed that all that vast number of people could hear O'Connell, but those who were so far removed from the speaker put their hands up to their ears and remained as quiet as if they heard every word the speaker uttered. And while Daniel O'Connell was holding those great meetings not one accident occurred and no fights or disorderly conduct on the part of the people took place. Mr. Sullivan accounted for this on the ground that while Daniel O'Connell preached and advocated political liberty. Father Matthews went hand in hand with him and urged the people to abstain from strong drink and to live moral, upright and temperate lives. Right at this point in his more than interesting reminiscences of Daniel O'Connell, Mr. Sullivan appealed to the men and women around and about him to refrain from sending their money for intoxicating liquors—keep their brains clear and control their passions. He asserted that at one time the people of Ireland were very little better off than the slaves of the South and contended that the race which he belongs too and the colored race can only get what rightly belongs to them through the channel of agitation-by practicing economy and industry. The speaker struck a popular and sympathetic cord when he related how Daniel O'Connell labored for the abolishment of slavery in the West India Islands and America. Rev. A. J. Carey at the conclusion of Mr. Sullivan's elaboration on the life and times of Daniel O'Connell, thanked him in behalf of The Men's Sunday Club and Quinn Chapel for his most eloquent address and Rev. Carey declared that the spirits of Robert Emmet, Daniel O'Connell, Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington will in time mingle with each other in that unseen world. PRESIDENT McKINLEY'S MESSAGE Both branches of the United States Congress convened Monday and the first thing in order was the reading of President McKinley's message. The chief ruler of this mighty nation touched upon many phrases, subjects and questions effecting the new policy which has been inaugurated by his administration and which will largely effect the life of the Republic for many years to come. The President's foreign policy can not be pleasing to those who believe in true Americanism, but true Americans have no right to expect anything better from President McKinley who is in love with England and the other enemies of a Democratic form of Government His attitude on mob and lynch law can not be otherwise than disappointing to his colored admirers who thought that if he succeeded in being re-elected President he would gladly recommend the cutting down of Southern representation in Congress and urge the passage of some law which would tend to surprise mob and lynch law and all forms of lawlessness but in this the Republican Afro-Americans have been grieveously disappointed by President McKinley. It's true his noble excellency does say something about lynching, but it is prefunctory and meaningless—he devotes much time and space in his message in lamenting over the deaths of the five italians who were lynched in Louisiana some four or five years ago, and he says "their deaths by the hands of the mob is a grieveous offense against our civilization"—he implores Congress to enlarge the jurisdiction of the Federal courts so that the relatives of the Italian sufferers may be indemnified, but does not hint at contributing one cent towards the support of the wife and little children of Postmaster Baker who was murdered at Lake City, S. C. in 1899, but if we remember rightly, Postmaster Baker was a Negro and Negroes do not count for much with President McKinley after election. In reference to lynching in general the President contents himself by reiterating that "Lynching must not be tolerated in a great and civilized country like the United States; courts, not mobs, must execute the penalties of the law. The preservation of public order, the right of discussion, the integrity of courts, and the orderly administration of justice must continue for ever the rock of safety, upon which our government securely rests." Beautiful sentiments aren't they? but we may be permitted to ask what has President McKinley as commander in-chief of the army and navy done to discourage mob and lynch law and to prevent his innocent fellow-citizens from being burnt alive at the stake, mobbed—lynched—outraged and brutalized by his Christian brethren. On the whole his extraordinary long message is weak—poorly constructed and it is not deserving to be placed alongside of the State Papers and messages which have been handed down to us by the immortal Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Mrs. Rebecca D. Lowe, President of the General Federation of Women's clubs whose husband made his money by overworking and starving the convicts of Georgia to death, intends in the near future to travel through Europe and while abroad, we hope Mrs. Lowe will learn enough sense so that hereafter she will not look upon all colored women as dishwasher and chambers-malds. HEW TO THE LINE. THE HARRISON-BURKE COMBINATION WON OUT. Monday afternoon all the large and small politicians from all over the city and county congregated in the rooms of the Cook County Democratic Headquarters for the special purpose of taking a hand in the election of new managers for the next two years. It was expected by all hands that the friends of ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins would make a desperate fight to prevent the re-election of Robert E. Burke as secretary and Fred E. Eldred as treasurer, but much to the suprise of all the leaders everything run as smooth as clock-works and for at least two years longer Robert E. Burke will engineer all the affairs of the party in Cook County, and it is now admitted by all that within a very few years Mr. Burke has become the best political organizer in this state or the West. Thomas Gahan will continue to serve as chairman; Hon. John J. Hayes, vice chairman; Fred E. Eidred will handle all the money and jolly the boys; Mr. Burke will not cease from laboring extremely hard to secure the re-election of Mayor Cartey H. Harison in the spring and to capture every office in Cook County for Democracy two years hence. The executive committee has been enlarged and the friends of Mayor Harrison and Mr. Burke will not only control it, but also the committee on contests, primaries, appeals, judges and elections. Thomas Gahan, Robert E. Burke, R. C. Sullivan, John J. Brennan, John C. Schubert, Stanley H. Kunze, Charles Martin, John F. Farley, Frank X. Brandecker, James McAndrews, Fred E. Eldred, William Loeffler, James J. Gray, M. P. Byrne, J. J. Coughlin, J. J. Hayes, H. Owsley, J. T. Keating and Ald. Thomas John J. Coughlin, Heaton Owsley, Carey high muckey-muck of the Tammany Society of Chicago and leader of the Harrison and Burke forces in the city council comprise the executive committee. City Sealer James A. Quinn, Fred E. Eldred, W.G. Korth, Patrick White, John J. Sloan, T. J. McNally, J. A. Mohoney and M. J. Doherty are the gentlemen who will look after the judges of elections. All in all the Harrison and urke combination scored a great victory last Monday. Sunday afternoon the Cook County Democracy held its election to choose officers for the coming year and the following were elected: President, John J. Powers; vice Presidents, South side, J. H. Brunjes; James J. Gray, North side, and T. E. Ryan, West side; Secretary, Robert E. Burke; Fin. Secr., A. J. Sabath; Treasurer, M. C. McDonald; Marshall, James H. Farrell; Quartermaster, John G. Hoeger; Assistant Quartermaster, L. G. Matelene; Sergeant at Arms, James T. Jones, Hon. Vincent H. Perkins, John H. Sullivan, Walter M. Magnus, Wm. J. O'Brien, Joseph J. Ward, Frank W. Solon, John H. Dullard, J. C. Dooley, Richard E. Burke, Fred E. Eldred and Thomas J. Powers, compose the new executive committee. Much surprise has been expressed over the defeat of County coroner John E. Traeger, and John J Harkins these two gentlemen were formerly members of the executive committee and they were supperceeded by Justice Dooley, and Frank W. Solon. The color line or question seems to be spreading all over the country among the women's clubs and it is pleasing to note that many of the best white women residing in all sections of this broad land are breaking away from old conventionalities and are in favor of admitting cultivated colored women into clubs composed of white women. The club women of Rockford this state are the latest to come out in favor of this new movement, which shows that the thinking and the brainiest women of Rockford are determined to stand pat as far as the color line or question is concerned and they are to be commended for standing by their colored sisters. Robert J. Roulston of McNeil & Higgins Co. after spending ten days in New Orleans on a business trip returned home Thursday, in the meantime Mr. Roultons' Aldermanic boom continues to roll onward. CHIPS. Work on the new Odd Fellow's Hall at 43rd & State Sts. was commenced last Wednesday. The measuring party given at Grace church last Monday night proved to be a very interesting affair The Old Maid Convention was especially good. Miss Marie Madison is visiting her sister, Mrs. Lawrence Jones, 2936 Armmour Ave. Miss Madison is a charming young woman, and is receiving much social attention. Aldermman Stanley H. Kunze has decided to grow whiskers and if his beard continues to sprout and grow, in a short time Alderman Kunze will resemble the Prince of Wales. Miss Euphemia B. McQuann will on the 26th of December link her fortunes with one of Evantsones sturdy sons and after her marriage she will reside in Evanston. City Clerk William Loeffler is slated for re-nomination for the same office which he has so ably filled for the past four years and Mr. Loeffler will be re-elected City Clerk of Chicago. Coroner John E. Traeger assumed the duties of his office Monday and it was just as easy for him to become familiar with the labors required of the Coroner as it is for a duck to take to water. Mrs. Amanda Bell, 5429 Jackson ave., ranks among the best as a neat housekeeper. Mrs. Bell is also president of the Hyde Park Woman's club and she is interested in all things which tends to improve womenkind. Alderman Henry L. Fick has discarded his bloodred vest and any one to see him prancing around the City Hall would be almost persuaded to believe that he had joined the salvation army and was ready to pound away on the big base drum. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, has been elected Imperial Regent of the United Brotherhood instead of Mr. Alexander Miles. The United Brotherhood is now in a flourishing condition and it is bound to grow and expand under the management of Doctor Williams, M. H. Seely and J. Frank Wheaton. All the politicians on the west side say that it is more than likely that E. B. Warwick the efficient West Town Clerk will be re-nominated for clerk or for Supervisors,there is nothing within the gift of the people to good for E. B. Warwick, for he is true-blue and a yard wide. Judge William Prentiss, Ashland Block, is kept busy every day in the courts in looking after the interests of his many clients. Judge Prentiss is liberal-minded—he is a firm believer in the Jeffersonian school of Democracy. Therefore his friendship for all of his fellow-men knows no bounds. Mrs. Dr. W. A. Buckner, 29th & Armour Av., possesses rare tact and diplomacy-she looks after the office while the doctor goes out to make his regular calls and all patients and visitors upon entering the office are very pleasantly received by her, and entertained until the doctor returns. Wm. C. Lyons who has been one of the main leaders of Democracy on the North-west side has become cityfled and he and his family are now residing at 4418 Prairie Ave., and from now on Mr. Lyons will make it lively for the political boys of the South side. Captain Wm. P. Black the well-known lawyer who offices in the Ashland Block, feels that under no condition would he be induced to desert the cause of true Democracy and the common people and of all the big and warm-hearted men in Chicago the poor and the needy have no better friend than Capt. Wm. P. Black. Mrs. J. B. O'Connell the esteemable and very talented wife of attorney J. B. O'Connell of Devine & O'Connell, makes no bones in expressing her heartiest admiration for The Broad Ax and she never falls to peruse its contents very carefully. Mrs. U'Connell presides over her elegant home, 431 LaSalle Ave., as gracefully as a queen. Mr. Edward E. Wilson read the first of a series of lay sermons at the Institutional Church last Sunday night. The house was crowded. Mr. Wilson spoke on the subject, "What Do We Think of Ourselves." The address was caustic, and concluded with a strong arraignment of Booker T. Was — —? as a false leader and an unsafe guide. The Arena for December contains a very fine article on "The Greatest Black Man Known to History Toussaint L'Ouverture" by B. O. Flower, founder of The Arena. It also contains many other well written articles on live and important subjects, and The Arena is rapidly coming to the front as "The World's Leading Review." Alderman James J. McCormick of the 6th ward will not have any opposition next spring in the aldermanic convention of his ward, and he will again be returned to the City Council For two years ago his majority was two thousand and eight hundred and as he has served all the people very faithfully they will rool up a larger majority for him next April. Alderman Charles Werno has been head or chairman of the committee on re-districting the city, and as such, he has worked very hard for the best interests not only of Chicago, but also his brother aldermen. The redistricting plan or scheme so far has fell through, but it was not the fault of Alderman Werno, and for his good work in the past he will be returned to the council next spring. The Chicago Federation of Labor has decided to permit colored workmen or men to become affiliated with the Federation which entitles them to all the rights accorded to the white laborers this is as is should be and it shows that the Chicago Federation of Labor is far in advance of other labor organizations in other sections of the country and this new movement will mean a great deal to first-class colored workmen. The new board of County Commissioners began their labors last Monday, and if the six Democratic commissioners under the leadership of R. B. Organ will only stand pat they can compel the nine Republican commissioners to toe the mark and divide up the patronage. Commissioners Organ, Flannagan, T hielen, Irrmann, Hulsman and Daley, you gentlemen must all stand together or you may all hang separately. Mrs. Rollin B. Organ, 4019 Indiana Ave., takes an active interest in everything pertaining to the advancement of her husband, while Mr. Organ was engaged in his campaign for County Commissioner. Mrs. Orgon was very apprehensive least he would fall outside of the breast-works and when she learned that Mr. Organ had won out she was overcome with joy. Mrs. Organ is a pleasant, kind-hearted and noble lady and we feel proud to number her among our friends. James T. Bransfield, the civil engineer and contractor, who resides in the 28th ward—who is greatly respected by the rich and poor, has been prominently mentioned in connection with the nomination for alderman. Mr. Bransfield has the honor of being a member of the Western Society of Engineers, which means that his record is clean. He is well thought of by the newspapers, therefore the leaders of the party in the old 28th ward could not make any misstake by nominating James T. Bransfield for alderman. Monday night the numerous friends of Mr. and Ms. E. Burton, 549 56th St., tendered them a surprise. The affair was managed by Mrs. Eliza Harris and Mrs. B. Green. Mr. and Mrs. Burton were recently united in marriage. The bride was attractively attired in her wedding dress of steel grey, trimmed in white jet which set her venus like form off to perfection. Over sixty persons were present and partook of the elaborate luncheon which consisted of ham sandwiches, coffee, ice cream, cake and wine. The guests all wished the newly married couple a joyous voyage on the uncertain sea of matrimony. A business meeting was held Wednesday afternoon by the Phyllis Wheatley Club at its rooms, 5058 Dearborn St., after which its members were addressed by Mrs. Nora Smith Basey on "The Influence of Women". Mrs. Basey has a charming personality and she admonished her hearers and especially the married ones to exert every effort in their power to assist their husbands who are engaged in business or in the professions by way of encouragement and lend them a helping hand so that they may be better able to successfully compete with those engaged in similar business or callings. A great deal has been said and written of the Elixer of Life, but up to the present time howmany of us have solved that problem. Life is short and sweet, as the old adage goes, it is more especially God's greatest gifts, Health, Strength and Happiness. Would we not, all of us, give our all, could we butprolong our life, in many cases for a few hours? In solving this great problem and to accomplish this seemingly impossibility it became necessary for science to lend its aid. The result of this long scientific research and experiment is "Longavita," a scientifically prepared vegetable compound, hitherto unknown, and coming as it does from the natural element, its curing properties can never be estimated as a prolonger of life. "Longavita" ad. in another column will interest you. LITTLE HINTS. To clean hair brushes rub them in dry Indian meal until the oil and dust are extracted. Oilcloths or linoleum should never be washed in hot water or soapsuds; always in tepid water. Iron rust and mildew may be bleached by rubbing on the spot lemon juice and salt, and exposing to a hot sun. If a fishbone gets in the throat beyond reach, swallow at once the white of an egg, and it will generally carry down the offending bone. For the destruction of ants, spiders and cockroaches, a strong solution of alum in boiling water, poured over the infested parts, will be found excellent. Fruit stains may be removed by chloride of lime, but should it fail, oxalic acid will do the work. Be careful to well wash the fabric afterwards. It is said that parsley, eaten with onions, will destroy the offensive odor that affects the breath. The parsley should be served in sprigs and eaten as you would celery. A handful of carpet tacks will be found very good to clean a bottle, without impairing their usefulness afterwards, if they are dried. A handful of ashes from the grate will also accomplish the same purpose. Tea stains may be bleached by glycerine and egg-yolk, beaten together; and coffee stains by slightly beaten egg-yolk and warm water. Should the stains be deeply set, dissolve an ounce of chloride of lime in a quart of boiling water and apply the solution to the stains. Rinse well afterwards, or it will be apt to injure the fabric. DON'TS FOR WOMEN. Don't read your letters on the street cars. Don't sit through a play telling how you can have a dress made over like the soubrette's. Don't lift your outside skirt and let the petticoat drag. If it is pretty enough to be shown, it is pretty enough to keep clean. Raise it a little bit, and the skirt a little above it. If you are scared about the cars going so near the edge on the slippery rails when the bridge is open and you are on the car nearest the edge, don't make a move toward the door; it is undignified. And it will embarrass you horribly in a minute. DON'T SNUB A BOY. Don't snub a boy because he chooses an humble trade. The author of "Pilgrim's Progress" was a thiker. Don't snub a boy because his house is plain and unpretending. Abraham Lincoln's early home was a log cabin. Don't snub a boy because of the ignorance of his parents. Shakespeare, the world's poet, was the son of a man who was unable to write his own name.

Any woman can keep an expense account, but only about one woman in a hundred can make it tally with her cash. The Southern cotton manufacturers are interested in China, and they are not the least bit backward in speaking up about it. Circoked financiering in New York has become so fast and furious that Mr. Miller, the 120 per cent man, has been entirely forgotten. The latest exposition of rural mail delivery in the United States is the remarkable route extending three thousand miles beyond the reach of the mail-boats in Alaska. The carriers are descendants of reindeer imported from Siberia in 1892, of which there are now twenty large herds in Alaska, notwithstanding frequent newspaper assertions that the reindeer are all dead. Care of the sick can scarcely reach its highest ideal save where personal attachment supplements knowledge and skill. Therefore, it belongs to the life of every woman. There are few households indeed where any girl can grow up without some opportunities for this experience. Such opportunities may well be supplemented by lectures, courses of reading and well-planned demonstrations. A collection of ancient Greek ornaments which cost him $200,000 has been given by J. Pierpont Morgan to the Metropolitan museum of art, New York City. The collection was many years making, and includes a large gold crown, a heavy gold necklace, a gold and silver bridal wreath, a gold embossed mask of a young woman, a gold and silver bridal wreath, large gold-winged statuets and a gold ram. They date from 350 B. C. The wife of Li Hung Chang has the credit of being not only the richest woman in China but also of being the most luxurious woman on earth. Twice daily Mrs. Li bathes in oil of orange and acacia flowers, and she has a staff of 1,000 servants. Her wardrobe is most expensive and is said to contain no fewer than 2,000 coats and 1,200 trouserettes. Mrs. Li is able to walk only a few feet at a time, being crippled like the majority of Chinese women; but if report be trustworthy she is by no means an idle woman, for she is said to keep a detailed account of the expenditure of her vast household and to be an excellent woman of business. Public sentiment will generally approve the action of the New York sheriff who recently arrested a "lady cyclist." She was trying to cover three thousand miles in quicker time than that distance had ever been ridden before, and when the sheriff interfered had already covered twenty-six hundred miles in less than twelve days. She was in such a pitiable condition that people living near the scene of her riding made complaint. It may not be necessary to regard such a person as a criminal, but any one who knows no better than to impose such a strain upon her own health, if not upon her life, is better off in custody than out of it. A recent magazine contains a remarkable picture of a wild white-footed mouse nursing her four young ones. It is a reproduction of a photograph made from life under circumstances so pleasant that they are worth retelling. The owner of the camera was walking in the woods with a friend, when he came upon the interesting family group. The frightened mother instantly disappeared, and could not be found even after the most careful search. It was only when the two men reached home that the little creature was found in the pocket of one of them. Fearing that the young ones would die, the photographer ran back two miles with the old mouse in his hand, and the charming picture referred to represents the first meeting of the reunited family. Mr. Martin Dodge, director of the office of public road inquiries, announces that the secretary of agriculture has established in the division of chemistry a laboratory for testing physically and chemically all varieties of road materials. These substances include rocks of all kinds, gravel, shells, brick, clays and other bodies used in road building in country districts, but do not include materials for municipalities. This laboratory will be ready for operation about December 1. Any person desiring to have road materials tested in this laboratory is advised to write to the office of public road inquiries, department of agriculture, Washington, D. G., for instructions in regard to the methods of selecting and shipping QUEER OLD ENGLAND. Where Bread Costs Extra in the Restaurants. "One of the strangest things about the management of English restaurants," remarked a gentleman who has recently returned from a visit to London to the Washington Star, "is the custom of charging diners for every slice of bread which they eat. For instance, a day or two before my departure from the British capital, I, as a mark of esteem, invited several English friends to dine with me at one of the most celebrated of the fashionable west end restaurants. Well, the repast was served in a private room, and everything went off splendidly until the coffee and cigar stage was reached, when I asked that my bill be brought to me. Then, to my utter astonishment, the head waiter, in the hearing of the assembled company, approached me and in a loud voice asked, 'And how many breads 'ave you 'ad, sir?' This question I could not answer, as I had not been engaged in counting the number of slices consumed, but one of my guests, who had evidently kept track of the bread, noticing my embarrassment, said in my behalf, 'Four plates.' 'Ah!' muttered the waiter, 'that's one shillin' hextra,' and after adding the amount to my bill handed it to me for inspection. Of course I paid for the bread, but I have been wondering ever since I did so why the American custom of not charging for 'the staff of life' is not introduced over there. AN ENEMY TO DRINK. One Woman Who Has Done a Great Deal to Put Down This Evil. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 3.—(Special)—When the Independent Order of Good Templars of Minnesota wanted a State Organizer they chose Mrs. Laura J. Smith, of 1217 West 33d Street, this city. The American Anti-Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith as National Organizer. The reason is not far to seek. This gifted woman has devoted her life to a battle against Drink and Drinking Habits. Her influence for good in Minnesota is and has been very far reaching. About two years ago however, it seemed as if this noble woman would have to give up her philanthropic work. Severe pains in her back and under her shoulder blades, made life a burden and work impossible. Physicians were consulted, and they prescribed for Kidney Disease. Three month's treatment however, failed to give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her husband was much exercised, and cast about him for something that would restore his good wife to health and strength. He heard of the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and advised her to try them, which she did. She is now a well woman and says: "Two weeks after I commenced taking Dodd's Kidney Pills, I felt much better, and at the end or seven weeks was completely cured. I have had no recurrence of the trouble, but I take a pill off and on, and find that it keeps me in good health." Dodd's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers at 50 cents a box. They are easily within the reach of all, and no woman can afford to suffer, when such a simple, and sure Remedy is at hand. To Clean Smoky Paint Many housewives have doubt been greatly annoyed when cleaning the paint in the kitchen to find it would look streaked and cloudy, especially if an oil or gasoline stove had been used. A very easy and satisfactory way to clean it is to go over it with kerosene oil, which removes the smoke, then wash in soapsuds, rinse it in clean water and wipe with a dry cloth; the effect is surprising.

Something About the Government of the Municipality—Progress of the Jews—In the Avenue of Victory—Memorials and Mausoleum. (Berlin Correspondence.) The reichstag is to Germany what the capitol at Washington is to the United States, the home of the national lawmakers. In size it is as large as the capitol at Albany, for Ambassador Andrew D. White took the trouble to measure its dimensions to satisfy himself on this point, and in gandeur and classic outline the equal of New York's state house on the banks of the Hudson. The reichstag cost $5,000,000. The interior is plainly finished and plainly furnished, and in these respects is far behind Albany's great building The surprise is that one cost so much; that the other could be erected and completed for so comparatively small a sum. The former was built for a state of 7,000,000 and the latter for a nation of 45,000,000, now increased to 53,000,000 people. Reckoning the difference in population the Albany capitol cost about thirty-three times as much as the reichstag. The economy that Germans exhibit in imperial structures is carried into the management of her cities. Berlin is one of the places renowned for municipal government. To its administration she draws upon the class best fitted to serve her interests, the men of the highest integrity, the greatest capacity, of the loftiest motives. They serve the taxpayers with the devotion that men employ to gain riches honestly and they have made the post of mayor and councilman one of such distinction that the most exalted can be summoned to the task and not feel it is a lowering of dignity. When the people want to go outside for a mayor who has distinguished himself in this capacity they have the privilege and exercise it. Breslau had such an official and Berlin decided the mayor of the former city would serve her better than one of her own sons, so the mayor of Breslau was elected mayor of Berlin and at once moved to the capital where he further extended his OL AVENUE OF VICTORY fame as a civic ruler. Think of New York turning to Chicago or San Francisco for a mayor and turning its back upon the ambitions of Tammany hall! In no country in Europe have the Jews met with the success that has attended their endeavors in Germany. The prejudice against them is as strong there as in the United States, but they have forged ahead in a wonderful degree in spite of it. The Jew may join the army, may distinguish himself in the forefront of battle, but he can never hope to become an officer, for that by-law is denied him. In the civic domain no legal restraint is imposed on his advancement, but the aversion he is held in is as pronounced as that which denies him promotion in the army. In Berlin there are 100,000 of the proscribed race and the position which they have now in trade, banking, law, medicine and letters, is marvelous. In the first two callings the Hebrews of New York city have more to show than their co-religionists of Berlin. In the remaining three the comparison is in favor of the latter. The Jews were the first to perceive the value of higher education and profit by it, and this accounts for their prominence in the professions in which so many of them have centered their talents. The University of Berlin, one of the great schools of the old world, has an enrollment of 5,000 students. Nearly one-fourth of the professors therein are Jews. Of the 700 lawyers of Berlin, 400 are Hebrews. In surgery and medicine he leads his gentile brother easily. In journalism and authorship the percentage is not as high as in the callings above enumerated, but it is big enough to proclaim that the Jews divide pretty evenly with the Christians the triumphs in the realm of letters. All these have been won on fields where the Jew has been handicapped by the intolerance with which he has been regarded. His natural ability, his dogged purpose and determination to conquer have developed wonderfully in this atmosphere until he stands out the most extraordinary of the elements comprising the German nation The latest thing carried out in beautifying the city are the semi-circular marble monuments in the Avenue of Victory in Thiergarten park. There are twelve of these classic memorials depicting the triumphs of Germany in peace and in war. They are erected out of the private purse of the emperor and are original in design and treatment. In the central foreground there stands on a carved pedestal the lifesize figure of some distinguished son and to the left or right of this is one or two figures standing well back on the circle on the marble floor. A rounding seat of stone running from end to end of the half circle completes the memorial. Recently some vandals defaced the countenances of these figures much to the chagrin of the imperial donor and the people at large. The mausoleum at Charlottenburg is in a park reached by a long walk through a lane bordered with trees. The style of the building is Grecian-Doric and the interior contains the remains of King Frederick William III and his beloved spouse Queen Louise, and their son, William I, the father of Germanic Confederation, and his wife, Maria Louisa. The bodies repose in a sarcophagus of granite and upon it are the recumbent figures in marble of the royal dead. On a slab in the floor opposite each are inscribed the names of the dead, the positions filled and the date of their demise. The stained glass window in the roof allows a soft purple light to play over the marble features of Queen Louise, which makes the scene one of marked impressiveness. SCOTLAND'S POSTOFFICES Are 2,276 in Number and Employ 17,000 Persons. Statistics relating exclusively to the postoffice in Scotland are worth considering, even if they have to be picked out with care and minuteness from the mass of figures relating to the whole of the United Kingdom. The total number of postoffices in Scotland is 2,276, and the total number of persons employed therein is about 17,000, of whom nearly 4,000 are females. One of the most recently established offices is that at St. Kilda, which was only opened this summer, owing to the difficulty of communicating with that remote island. The total number of letters delivered in Scotland last year exceeded 196 millions, being an average of forty-six to each person, as compared with thirty-one in Ireland and fifty-five for the whole United Kingdom. The number of parcels exceeded eight millions, as compared with less than five millions in Ireland; and the number of registered letters approached one and a half millions, as compared with less than one million in Ireland. The number of telegrams approached ten millions, as compared with little more than one million thirty years ago, and with less than five millions in Ireland last year. A somewhat curious result is disclosed when the savings bank transactions in each of the three divisions of the kingdom are analyzed. Thus in England and Wales the proportion of depositors to population is one in 4.35, and the average amount to the credit of each depositor exceeds £16. In Ireland the proportion of depositors is one in 12.50, and the amount to credit exceeds £21; while in Scotland the depositors are one in 12.19, and the amount is as low as £13 12s. 8d. At first sight this looks strange in view of the thrifty habits of the Scottish people; but the explanation is probably to be found in the excellent "National Security" savings banks in Scotland, and in the desire of the people for a better investment than is represented by 2½ per cent. The Church and the Masses. An interesting movement to reach those who will not go to church has been started in Milwaukee. The best theater building in the town is engaged and popular services are held in it. Very many of the solid business men are supporting it by their presence and their money, and it has enjoyed the approval and consent of the leading pastors of nearly all the denominations, as it has succeeded in presenting itself without incurring denominational suspicion or awakening theological agitation and discussion. The platform has been occupied by prominent Presbyterian, Congregationalist, Jewish, Unitarian and independent speakers. All the speakers have from choice held themselves to ethic, civic and life-helping problems. This movement is in the hands of the Congress of Religion, Chicago, and the intention is to carry it into other cities as fast as the way shall open. Explaining Solomon's Wisdom. "I wonder how Solomon became the wisest man on earth?" "That's easily explained," replied the man with the intellectual but worried face. "You see, Solomon had a large number of families, and, of course, his children asked questions, just as all children do. I have no doubt Solomon was like anybody else, and had a certain dislike to exposing his ignorance. When one of the children would ask him something he didn't know he'd make believe he wanted a drink of water and then go out and look in the back of the dictionary. I shouldn't be surprised if he were compelled to do this fifty or sixty times a day. Under such conditions a man couldn't help getting wise."—Washington Star.

Society Asks That He Behave Well, and Then His Path Will Be Smooth. Society asks little of a young man except to behave well. If he be manly in looks, if he has a good manner, is civil to his elders, if he has any little gift of entertaining—any "parlor tricks"—if he sends a few flowers occasionally, looks pleasant and is polite, his way will be smooth to success—always providing that he is really a gentleman. He never joins her on a thoroughfare unless the friendship be an established one and only with her permission—nor will he stand and converse with her. It is provincial to walk "sandwiched" between two women, to stare, or look after any one who has passed. In public conveyances a man does not pay a woman's fare unless he is her escort, except in an emergency, when he must ask if he may. Introductions are rarely made in public places or conveyances. A man precedes a woman when entering a theater or public place. In a church the lady goes first. He may precede her up a public staircase, but in a private house in ascending and descending, he follows. In picture galleries, elevators in public buildings, hotel and theater corridors, they being thoroughfares, a man retains his hat. In a hotel he removes it if women are present. In a lady bows to a man in a restaurant he rises slightly from his seat in acknowledgment. When he is with a party, if a lady with her escort stops to speak to his friends he rises and remains standing until she passes on. He also rises if a man is introduced to him when with a stag party. If a bachelor show some little hospitality it advances him much in favor. If he has attractive rooms, or has anything to show, he may give an afternoon tea or a chafing dish supper. Simplicity is in order. A bachelor's entertainment is usually regarded in the light of a frolic and his efforts indulgently considered. A bachelor may live where he likes without loss of social position, if he belong to one good club, which he may only use for the address on his cards and note-paper.—Ladies' Home Journal. MARVELOUS MECHANISM. Auto matons That Have Excited the Wonder of Many. Some years ago a jeweler of Boulogne, France, constructed a wonderful automatic conjurer. This figure, correctly dressed in black, performed various sleight of hand tricks with remarkable dexterity, and when it was applauded gracefully saluted the spectators to the right and left. One of its tricks was the following: It struck a table several times, and made an egg come out of it. It then blew upon the latter, when out of it came a bird that flapped its wings and sang, and afterward entered the egg again. This, however, was nothing as compared with the automatic fly manufactured by John Miller, and which flew around the table during a dinner and alighted upon the hand of its owner and manufacturer, to the great astonishment of the guests. Another wonderful piece of mechanism was a minute coach, to which were harnessed several horses, and which rolled over the table. Upon starting the coachman cracked his whip and the horses began to prance, and then became quiet and started off on a trot. The coach stopped and the lackey jumped from the seat, and, opening the door, handed out a handsomely dressed lady, who saluted and then re-entered the coach. The lackey closed the door and jumped up the box, the whip snapped and the horses galloped off. The famous mechanical flute player was a life-long figure, standing by the side of a broken column, upon which it slightly leaned. It was capable of playing a dozen different airs with remarkable ease. To effect this result, there was a system of weights which actuated a bellows placed in the interior of the automaton and through an invisible tube forced air to the flute, where it acted in the usual way upon the stopple of the opening. In order to obtain the modulations and consequently a complete air, the fingers of the automaton were movable and closed the holes of the flute hermetically when at rest. The fingers were moved by wires and cords that were tautened and relaxed by the play of a toothed cylinder. Origin of the Term "Bonanza." The word "bonanza" is of Spanish origin and a nautical term, meaning "fair weather at sea." In Matthew vill., 26, we read that after the Lord rebuked the wind and the sea "there came a good, great calm," which last words in the Spanish version are rendered by "bonanza." It is easy to understand how the word came into its figurative use as meaning a happy calm and good hope after a weary stretch. The "bonanza kings" were James Clair Flood, W. S. O'Brien, John W. Mackay and James G. Fair, four men of Irish parentage, who acquired vast fortunes from the gold and silver mines on the Pacific coast. They had various imitators and successors, who shared the names, but these four were the "only original" bonanza kings. Set Superstition at Naught. Miss Alice Sinclair of Cincinnati, O., who acted as bridesmaid at the wedding of a friend, found a thimble in the piece of bride's cake which she ate. This was regarded as proof that she would be an old maid. To prove that the sign was false she agreed to marry William Keeler, to whom she was engaged, at once, and invited all the wedding guests to be present at her marriage. A minister was found and the ceremony was performed within three hours of the time when she was acting as bridesmaid. How's This?

How gladly would men fly to woman's aid did they but understand a woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities, and peculiar organic disturbances. Those things are known only to women, and the aid a man would give is not at his command. To treat a case properly it is necessary to know all about it, and full information, many times, cannot be given by a woman to her family phy- A. B. sician. She cannot bring herself to tell everything, and the physician is at a constant disadvantage. This is why, for the past twenty-five years, thousands of women have been confiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham, and whose advice has brought happiness and health to countless women in the United States. Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, Ill., whose portrait we publish, advises all suffering women to seek Mrs. Pinkham's advice and use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as they cured her of inflammation of the ovaries and womb; she, therefore, speaks from knowledge, and her experience ought to give others confidence.

Chief ef the Northwestern Bandit Hunt- os He: Hed = fhrilling OCsreer— ‘Train Robbing Growing Unpopuiar to the Western Country. (Omaha Letter) Managers of western railroads are making extra efforts to entirely wipe out the bandit gangs that have been Very active during the past few years. The Union Pacific, the Burlington, Rock Island and Northwestern, out of Omaha, are arming their messengers @new with Winchester “pump guns,” having new shells with 16 buckshot each, loaded for them and in other ways are preparing to exterminate the first road agent band that attempts to hold up one of their trains. In addition every large railroad operat- ing out of Oamaha employs from one to a dozen men whose exclusive duty it is to protect their trains from ban- dit raids, trail the robbers after they hold up the train and chase them into the fastnesses of the mountains or get them killed. Of all the famous western characters who have made bandit hunting a busi- ness none is better known than Fred- erick Hans, of Omaha, who is chief of the Northwestern bandit hunters. For years it has been the business of Fred- erick Hans to protect the treasure trains of that company operating through the Black Hills. From Dead- ‘wood to Omaha the Northwestern car- ries the treasures of the great Home- stake mine. In some months this com- pany ships over a hundred thousand in treasure over this line. The lines of the company are operated through a wild and desolate section for many miles after leaving Deadwood. It is @ most inviting place for the work of Toad agents. The fact that these treasure trains escape the raids of bandits is undoubtedly due to their fear of the man who is the head of the force of bandit hunters the com- pany employs. Frederick Hans is a mild mannered fellow with blue eyes and of most af. iE ~ ji a fs f/; V ‘i Be | jf Ml FREDERICK HANS. fable address. As he saunters along the streets of Omaha he is about the last man in the world one would pick out for desperate work with rifie and revolver. Yet this same pleasant fel- low with his careless smile has been in more desperate affrays with road agents, killed more outlaws and sent more to the penitentiaries through the west than any man in the west to- day. “Fred,” as he is known to nine- tenths of the people of Omaha, is con- stantly on the move. He has a wife and three babies in Omaha that he gets a chance to see once in a month or so, but most of his time is spent “ap in the Hills,” circulating among that element that is most likely to en- gage in hold-ups. It is his business to locate all these characters the mo- ment a train is held up in his terri- tory. Thus he can very nearly place the responsibility for a train robbery on the Northwestern the day after it occurs. Incidentally, it may be said that Hans carries a considerable num- ber of bullet wounds on his person— slight testimonials of his many des- perate fights. One of his most daring deeds was going into the “Hole in the Wall” aft- er “Shacknasty” Jim and his outlaw band when he killed the leader and two of his companions before he re- turned. Again he met five members of his famous Robbers’ Roost gang one bright morning on the Running water im South Dakota. He had but short- ly before that been instrumental in piloting a posse of Custer citizens to the lair of the band, where nine of ‘them had been killed, and they thought to get even. The five road agents ‘waited until Hans rode close to the sand hill behind which they were hid- ing, then rode down on him, firing their rifies as they galloped up. A fortunate shot passed through the heart of the horse that Hans was rid- ing. Using the animal for a breast- work the railroad bandit hunter got out his heavy pistols and began busi- ness right there. He only shot four times. The Grst bullet he fred passed through the heart of the near- est robber, the next one struck one of the horses of the oncoming gang and Killed it, the third bullet passed through the bead of anotber bandit, killing him instantly and the fourth passed through the body of one of the gang and he died ister.

Wen yoo have the choice ov swoller-in two perltickel lize, hav the good sense to swoller nun. It is better too ackkuze the world ov insincerity than too trust her too far and git it in the neck. Humbug and frod are allerze turnin a new side too the world, and sayin: "Now haint this better?" Sum wimmin git marreed too git a home, and sum men git marreed in order to secure a cheep cook. The hungry sheep will raize a poor variety ov wool, just the same as the glutten will raize a poor variety ov wirtyoo. The reason sum peepul don't empty thare purse intoo thare hed, iz becaws a dollar looks bigger to them than thare hed. The man hoo iz indifferent to wimmin—too thare praize and approval—is a man too hoom the hull wurld soon bekums indifferent. Thots cum and go in and out ov the head like beeze. Sum use thare sting, wile otherze leave only hunny and the smell ov flowerze behint. Inflamashun will swell yoore hed, informashun will enlarge it. The more informashun yoo put in yoore hed, the grater the room fur more. We may be abull to forgive ower enemeeze wen thay are down, but jist so shoore az thay rize agin, up goze ower old bitter feelin tords em. The man hoo attempts to pleeze everyboddy iz too weak to make a enemy and too insignificant to make a friend. He mite az well be made ov wax. RAM'S HORN WRINKLES A blank cartridge will make the most noise. To be content with less is to have less discontent. It needs no courage to choose evil in the face of good. Fidelity to old truths demands hospitality to new ones. If you would escape all censure, do not walk with Christ. A very little child may open a very large door into heaven. When you open your heart to lust, love will leave your life. Not man, but the Christ-man, is the crowning work of creation. A man's wealth may be measured by his capacities, not by his coin. It is poor religious exercise balancing on one foot on the edge of sin. Modern murmurers are bitten with the fiery serpents of their own tongues. The modesty of true worth is only equaled by the worth of true modesty. There is only one single step from the level rock over the precipices of ruin. Getting Christ into the people will solve the problem of getting people into the church. When we think to thank God for our pleasures it will be easier to bless Him for our burdens. If men put more sense into their sacred service the world would put more faith in their sanctity. He who lets the offering basket go by may have less cause to blush than he who tries to make a nickel ring like a dollar. It is mockery to pray that your children may be gathered home in eternity while you do nothing to keep them at home in time. Men of the strongest denominational convictions often are found feeling for the smallest denomination in their pockets at the collection.—Ram's Horn. RESOLVES ABOUT EATING. 1. To eat only those things that are of an admitted good quality. 2. To eat nothing that has been found by experience to disagree with the digestive organs. 3. To eat only at regularly appointed times. 4. To take no heavy meal when the mind is taxed, worried or agitated. 5. To eat nothing just before retiring to rest. 6. To do no mental or manual labor upon an empty stomach. 7. To eat nothing between meals. 8. To eat slowly, so that every particle of food shall have the opportunity of being completely acted upon by the digestive juices. 9. To eat moderately, so that the full advantage of assimilation may result from the digestive work performed. 10. To eat with pleasure, so as to insure a happy meal.—American Journal of Health. Heaven is like home; it is open after the other place is shut. If the devil had eaten the apple himself, where would we all have been now? Love is a lot like baby-talk; nobody understands it but the one that is talking it. A woman's ideas are generally half her husband's, half her minister's and the rest her own. WIT AND WISDOM. You can never worst an ignorant man in an argument. The contented blacksmith is nearly always striking for wages. Keep your chin up. (If you are a woman, you won't have to be told so.) A man who risks nothing accumulates a bountiful supply of the same. The loud and senseless talk of man is but an imitation of a donkey's braying. Only a few of the things we want are absolutely necessary to our welfare. If a woman had a sense of humor sometimes she would seem more human. Man isn't the only animal that lives off his relations. There is the anteater. An old bachelor says that ideas are like whiskers—women and dudes never have them. Get a woman good and mad and she will tell you everything she knows about you that you didn't know she knew before. If women were half as sweet as they think they are, all the men would hug up to them all the time and not do any work. A man is a fool to be jealous of a good woman, and he is a fool to be jealous of a worthless one. Now draw your own conclusion. The St. Louis barber who pinned a newspaper around a customer's neck and gave him a towel to read was just a trifle absent-minded. The most sensible woman in the world will talk baby talk to her husband and say "Bess his ole heart?" long after he has got boldheaded. A writer says that without women the world would be a perfect blank, like a sheet of paper—not even ruled. It isn't necessary to mention the sex of the writer. It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet.—G. Macdonald. CARE OF MATTRESSES. The people able to afford it—for the best are expensive—own good hair mattresses. But though almost obsolete, the straw mattress is still found in country houses, and charming ones, too. In England chaff is much esteemed and is renewed every year. In the south corn husks are dried and combed into sweet-smelling and easy beds. The French housekeeper, who is what Americans and English call notable, renews the hair mattresses once a year. It is the midsummer work. Linen cases slipped over it are an additional preserver of the mattress, insuring cleanliness by constant washing. They are made as simply as a pillow case. It would take a good many books to contain the praises of the travelers who thought the clean case filled before their eyes with fresh straw the supreme luxury. The best spring mattress is the open-sommier, which can be kept free of dust by a long, slender brush. Bolsters continue to be made of feathers always in best style when square cut. The hair is taken out and carefully picked and then put into new casings. Of course, the most economical hair mattresses are the high-priced ones, and I confess I think that the best substitute is the extreme simplicity of the country bed—frequently changed straw. While feathers in a mattress are voted of the style of the Clarissa novel, they are retained as beds for the aged; the very objection urged against them as repose for the vigorous constituting their virtue for the feeble—almost enveloping the form and giving the warmth that only in its full power can the body create for itself. U. S. STAMPS IN 1869. The 1-cent, in buff, has a portrait of Benjamin Franklin. The 2-cent, in brown—a picture of a horseman carrying the United States mail. The 10-cent, in yellow—the United States arms. The 24-cent, in green and purple the "Signing of the Declaration of Independence." The 30-cent, in blue and carmine, again has the United States arms, as in the 10-cent value. The 90-cent, in black and carmine, bears the portrait of our martyred president, Abraham Lincoln. Once a week wash them in warm water and soda. Remember that your brushes need a weekly washing and a daily airing. Never leave them on the toilet table where the dust and germs in the room can fall on them. It is rather unnecessary to add that naught so detracts from the impression that a woman is a lady as carelessness about her toilet articles. It is a hallmark of refinement that even a low voice or a gentle manner does Suite 726 Opera House Block. B. W. Corner Clark and Washington Sts. TELEPHNNE MAIN 1782. Thomas F.

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.

Information on Waterways Lyman Cooley, the original engineer of the Chicago drainage ditch, lectured at Ann Arbor recently, and said that boats to compete with railroads nowadays must have a carrying capacity of not less than 2,000 tons each. The roads are preparing for heavier hauls, and so must the boats if ship canal plans are to carry and succeed.
