The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX VOL. VII. MORE NUTS FOR REV. J. F. THOMAS AND HIS DEFENDERS OR FOLLOWERS TO CRACK. Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax: Dear Sir—Please find space to publish the following in your paper: I met a gentleman a few days ago who stands quite high in the Olivet Baptist Church, Twenty-seventh and Dearborn streets, and he said: "Mr. Higginbothan, I read your article published in The Broad Ax Jan. 18, concerning your connection with the Olivet Baptist Church and the conduct of Rev. J. F. Thomas. It was an able piece." Then he said: "But for the good of the Christian cause stop writing, for you are a member of that church, and sinners stand off and clap their hands for joy to see the Christian family at war. It is injurious to the Christian cause." Now, Mr. Editor and dear readers, it has taken them a long time to learn that war and confusion in the church and Christians fighting in the court is injurious to the religious cause. For more than four years they have been fighting in the court, and those who have attended the church during that time well know that continuous unwarranted attacks have been made on J. M. Higginbothan from the pulpit. And for what? It could not have been for any other purpose than self-revenge and to poison the minds of the people against me. (Higginbothan), when I was only doing what I was compelled to do to protect my own interest. And still they could not see that Christian warfare was injurious to the cause of God until they read my article in The Broad Ax. But it is a sad truth that many of our ministers, through their zeal to attain undue aggrandizements, lose sight of the true intent and purpose of the Church of Christ; therefore they resort to many things that are derogatory to the Christian standing and to their influence with the world. The people who read my article in The Broad Ax Jan. 18th can readily see the position that I took in trying to have this church difficulty settled before the congregation. It showed that I desired a Christian adjustment of the whole affair, thus avoiding publicity. In the days of antiquity, under such men as Cyrus, Alexander and Augustus, the people gloried in war, but in these latter days of intelligence and progression the civilized nations of the world have realized that wars are appalling and disastrous—taking from the wife and children the husband and father, and from the parents the son—thus rendering comfortless the homes of thousands. Therefore they strive to settle all their affairs by reciprocity or arbitration, thus often diverting war and litigation. Then, should not Christians strive equally as hard to settle their affairs peacably? For war and litigation within the Christian circle is disastrous. It breaks up the peace and brings sadness to the hearts of many. If the Christians are the light of the world, then let them set good examples for the world instead of following after the examples of the world. The Apostle Paul said: "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law" (Romans 13:10). When Christ was about to leave this earth He said to His disciples: "A new commandment I give unto you that ye love one another as I have loved you. That you also love one another, by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another" (John 13:34, 35). Let me ask this question: Does Rev. Thomas carry out the above commandments? Do his members practice love one to another? If not, then what evidence have we that they are the disciples of Christ? I believe that there are some good Christians in Olivet Baptist Church, but I believe they have been misled and kept in the dark. In conclusion I will say that I had such confidence in the church that I put my hard earnings into the building against the advice of my friends; and again I say to the public, if you read my article in The Broad Ax, Jan. 18th, I believe you will agree with me and say that I am justified in taking such steps as I did or which may be necessary to take to protect my own interests. Now, this is not the piece that I promised to write, backed up by affidavits. I still hold that piece in reserve. For a trifle a woman will make a monkey of a man, and then admire him in his new state. We think it our duty to our friends and the readers of this paper to warn them against the impositions that are daily being practiced in this state by so-called clergymen from Illinois and other neighboring states. It is within our personal knowledge that the majority of these are unworthy of the confidence of the public. The Rev. P. A. Hubert, who is now soliciting funds in the southern part of this state for some establishment in Chicago, was only recently found unworthy of continued confidence by Wilberforce university officials, and that mainly through our exposure of his methods and conduct while in Milwaukee last spring.—The Advocate, Milwaukee, Wis. Rev. Pie-eating Acrobat Hubert endeavored a short time ago to shake Mr. Charles M. Walker, corporation counsel of Chicago, down for three hundred dollars, but we have been informed that this so-called minister in wolf's clothing was unable to hoodwink Mr. Walker. The Negro churches can never command any respect until their rulers drive men like Hubert from their pulpits. LEGS IN THE PULPIT A most sensational article appeared in last week's Broad Ax, published in Chicago. With many of the premises of the article we are in full accord, but the writer's deduction that the remedy is to be found in doing away with Negro churches entirely does not seem to us to be warranted. Even if some Chicago Negro pastors have been tried and found wanting, that is no reason why the whole class should be condemned. No more simple-minded and truly devoted worshiper is to be found anywhere than the Negro, and that he can still be accommodated in this respect is evidenced by the fact that so many churches are doing good work. The Negro is emotional in his religion as in other respects, and it would be very much to be deplored, in our opinion, that any move tending to the abolishment of the Negro race.—The Advocate, Milwaukee, Wis. That is the great trouble with the Negro; he has too much emotion, and not enough true religion, and he will never learn to become moral and honest until his preachers set the example by leading off in that direction themselves. MRS. LIZZIE N. RANDELL, THE FANCY DRESSMAKER As we stated in the last issue of The Broad Ax that many of the ladies who attended the grand charity ball given by the Knights Templars at the Coliseum Annex last week, were gowned in magnificent costumes, and it affords us much pleasure to state that many of the elegant dresses and fancy waists which were worn by the ladies on that occasion were made by Mrs. Lizzie N. Randell, the artistic dressmaker 4836 State street. Mrs. J. C. Clark and Mrs. M. Griffin wore the two most striking dresses of all the ladies who attended the ball, and their rich and very handsome gowns were made by Mrs. Randell and her first-class assistants. Mrs. Clark's dress consisted of a black taffeta silk, covered with a black net of fish scales, and this lavish dress fitted Mrs. Clark to perfection. Mrs. Griffin's costume was of canary colored silk, trimmed with jet and black silk lace, and like Mrs. Clark's, it was superb, and Mrs. Griffin's graceful form was shown off to the very best advantage, which caused many of the other ladies to exclaim: "Oh, how bewitching you look, Mrs. Griffin!" Mrs. Randell also made many of the fancy waists which were in evidence at the ball, which proves that she has no superior as a first-class dressmaker. MOVING ONWARD. There are 1,322 colored persons in the United States who are first-class type writers. There are 7,496 colored men in the United States who are first-class engineers. Mr. Broadax: Who is the most available man in the Democratic party for mayor? Maybe for personal reasons you would prefer to refrain from giving a direct answer on this question from the fact that quite a number of your subscribers are good fellows and naturally in hopes of "lightning striking" them every so often. Be that as it may, we must as Democrats begin to assist the mayor in selecting a good man to fill his shoes, and it will take all hands to do that. But to find a man who hasn't identified himself with one faction or the other in an antagonistic way will not be as easy as picking fleas off of a dog in the summer time; that you will agree with me upon. I have a name to suggest for mayor who is as sound as the almighty dollar upon nearly every question. He has served the people twice as alderman of one of the richest districts in the city, as well as a large boardinghouse, cosmopolitan element. He answered to roll-call at every meeting of the city council and always stood for the people upon every question, at the same time dealing with all parties concerned in a level-headed, business-like manner. He is a man that would appeal to rich and poor for their suffrages. Every man who ever came in contact with him knows he is an honorable, upright citizen, with backbone and executive ability to fill the mayor's chair. He possesses all the necessary qualifications to be this great city's chief executive, and no man, private or public, can dispute this. Who could the Democratic party select that would appeal as strongly to the independent voter of Chicago than Corporation Counsel Chas. M. Walker, for mayor in 1903? Tuesday evening many Democrats residing in the Thirt7-first ward met at Clifford's Hall in the interest of harmony and at the close of the meeting State Senator M. J. Butler was chosen as president of the ward organization; F. J. Corr, first vice president; Otto U. Mueller, secretary; Louis Lundquist, treasurer; Phil. Meany, vice president First district; Geo. A. Huff, vice president second district; Dan Dealon, vice president Third district; W. A. Beach, vice president Fourth district; F. Devine, vice president Fifth district; Patrick Murphy, vice president Sixth district; Charles Harmon, D. C. McLain, vice presidents Seventh district; Tim Fenton, sergeant-at-arms. Hall & Rawlins, undertakers and embalmers, 4838 State street, are two of the best Afro-American business men of this city or of the West, for they are up-to-date in their line of business. Their undertaking establishment is always clean and neat and it is kept open day and night. Prof. M. M. Mangasarian speaks in the Grand Opera House Sunday morning on "The Italian Renaissance." Justice John Fitzgerald arrived in the city last night from New Orleans, and the south, where he spent one week in quest of health and rest.

Plaindealer: Prof. Lombard's theory that the soul is in the spinal column is rather rough on politicians who have not any backbone. Sunday, Feb. 9, Prof. Felix Adler of New York City, lectures in Steinway Hall, 17 East Van Buren street, on "Fundamental Principles of Twentieth Century Morality.' The Forum for February contains a weighty article on "The Expansion of the Negro Population," by Kelly Miller, professor of mathematics, Harvard University, Washington, D. C. Japanese women are now being employed in that country in the telephone offices as well as at the postoffice, and they are said to make excellent bookkeepers, being both neat and accurate. After praying for forty years for a baby, a New Jersey couple placed a small want ad in a newspaper and that same night a bouncing boy was left on their doorstep. Prayer is all right if you are not in a hurry, but for quick results use printer's ink. Alderman Wm. E. Kent, who downed Big-headed O'Connor two years ago, seems to have smooth sailing this year, for the people of the Fourth ward have great faith in Alderman Kent. William Lumpp, the wide-awake assistant chief boiler inspector, is making things hum all along the line. Mr. Lumpp understands all the details in connection with his office and he is well fitted for his work. Postmaster F. E. Coyne addresses the South End Sunday Club Sunday, Feb. 9, on "Abraham Lincoln." Armant's orchestra will furnish the music. Miss Lizzie Williams and Miss Gertrude Harrison will sing. Two hundred members of the county Democracy left on their southern tour Thursday afternoon, and they made a fine showing as they marched through the streets on the way to the depot, headed by De Baugh's band. Alderman Charles H. Gary, Thirteenth ward, feels confident that he will have no trouble in holding his own in his ward at the coming round-up this spring, and that he will continue to occupy his seat in the city council after next April. Lawyer Walter T. Stanton, who was born and raised in the town of Lake, is being backed by his many friends for South Park commissioner, and the appointing powers could make no mistake by selecting Walter T. Stanton for that position. Capt. John J. Bradley has resigned his position with the Chicago Junction Railway company in order to devote his time to his aldermanic boom in the Thirtieth ward, and it now looks as if the contest will simmer down to a fight between Alderman Charles J. Boyd and Capt. Bradley. Col. R. A. Ware, who is one of the big Afro-American K. of P.'s of Chicago, earns his money by the sweat of his brow. He lives within his means, expends his money for the benefit of his family and pays all his debts like an honest man. Wm. L. Gahan, formerly of the city attorney's office, leaves for a six weeks' trip through the far west and the south the last of this month. Mr. Gahan says he will return home in time to cast his vote for Capt. John J. Bradley for alderman in the Thirtieth ward. Alderman Charles J. Boyd firmly believes that he will be the winner at the coming primaries, and it must be remembered that Alderman Boyd has endeavored to serve all the people living in the 30th ward during the past two years and that will count in his favor with the people. Attorney Joseph A. McInerney is being urged by his many friends to become a candidate for the legislature from the Fifteenth legislative district, which is composed of the Ninth ward and parts of the Tenth and Eleventh wards. Mr. McInerney is a live man, and he is amply able to represent the people in his district in the next legislature. The latter part of last week Attorney S. A. McElwee argued Dr. E. R. Robinson's famous three million dollar lawsuit, against the Chicago City Railway Company, and the Mills & French Company, in the United States Court of Appeals, and Mr. McElwee is of the opinion that a favorable decision will be handed down by Judges Grosscup and Jenkins. Alderman William Hale Thompson is thinking about going up against Alderman Bathhouse John J. Coughlin, who misrepresents the decent people residing in the First ward in the city council. If Alderman Thompson should decide to call Bathhouse John's hand, hundreds of respectable Democrats who are sick and tired of John J. Coughlin would work and vote for William Hale Thompson. The Buffalo Whist Club entertained itself at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. McKnight, 450 37th street, Thursday evening. It was the last meeting of the club until after Lent, and everybody had a jolly good time. The following were present: Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Smith, Mmes. Wilkerson, Lucas, Powell, Shelton, Lapsley, Robinson, Lucas and Stewart. Messrs. Rosson, Anderson, Akins, Simms, Fletcher, Holiday, Montgomery, Borrios and Taylor. The frightful accident which occurred Wednesday evening at 22d street and Archer Ave., in which 11 persons were blown into eternity with all their imperfections resting upon their heads, by the explosion of accumulated gas in defective pipes, was something appalling. Many people were also severely injured by the accident and it seems that the responsibility of the accident rests upon the Peoples' Gas, Light and Coke Company, and they should be made to feel the strong arm of the law. James G. Hannahan, business agent for the hoisting and portable engineers, who resides at 4033 Dearborn street, is the latest candidate for alderman in the 30th ward. Mr. Hannahan has opened up his aldermanic headquarters on 49th street, just west of Wentworth Ave., and he and his friends maintain that he will remain in the race to the bitter end. Repartee That Hurt. A correspondent at Ithaca, N. Y., sends the Record the following street car incident: One of the last sharp November days a boy entered the car leaving the door open, much to the discomfort of an old gentleman who sat next. As the wind chilled his marrow his temper rose. Leaning across his seat and taking the kid-by the ear he said: "Were you brought up in a barn? Why don't you shut the door?" The boy said nothing, but closed the door, coming back to his seat in tears. This sight moved the old man to relenting pity. "There, there," he said, "little man, I didn't really mean you were brought up in a barn." "That's just it," retorted the kid. "I was brought up in a barn, and every time I see a jackass it makes me think of it."—Philadelphia Record. NO. 16. EX-JUDGE WM. H. BARNUM COMMENDS THE BROAD AX. Chicago, Feb. 5, 1902 Julius F. Taylor, Editor and Publisher of The Broad Ax. Dear Sir: As you know, I have been a subscriber and reader of your paper for several years past. I wish to endorse it for its many merits and to say that it deserves the success it has received. The editorial articles have had the ring of true Democracy throughout, and would be creditable to many a more pretentious sheet. You are evidently abreast of the times and alive to the interests of all the people regardless of creed or color. I bespeak for you the continuance of your good work and its sure reward. Yours very truly, Wm. H. Barnum. EX-JUDGE WILLIAM H. BARNUM. Vice-president of the Iroquois Club, who is one of the most prominent attorneys in this country, and in all things he is a thorough Jeffersonian Democrat.

News items and advertisements left at those places will find their way into the columns of The Broad Ax. Story of a Stick. The reformers who hold up the German army as a pattern to be admired will perhaps allow that even its excellent discipline has some drawbacks Among the many regulations of the military code is one which forbids anybody to present himself before a recruiting officer with a cane in his hand. Some days ago a reservist so far forgot himself as to enter the office of a recruiting sergeant major accompanied by his walking stick. For this heinous offense the unfortunate reservist was promptly court martialed and sentenced to ten weeks' imprisonment for insubordination. Innovation in Japan. One feature of the western civilization has just made its first appearance in Japan, where a native woman has brought suit for breach of promise, hitherto an unknown procedure in the land of the chrysanthemum. The lady in question is a wise young widow, who induced her well-to-do wooer to sign an agreement that in case either party changed his mind he should forfeit 1,000 yen to the other. The prospective bridegroom broke the engagement. Bullet Cannot Penetrate Snow. Some interesting experiments have been made at the musketry ranges outside Christiania to test the qualities of snow for hastily improvised protective works against rifle fire. In the result it is held to be established that a breastwork of snow six feet thick, even when not pressed, is quite impenetrable to the Krag-Jorgensen rifle bullet at forty-five yards, although this weapon has a very high initial velocity. Pious Pilgrims. At this time one catches a passing glimpse of the Indians from the mountains or the interior of the republic, who enter the capital but once a year. They come many miles on foot, carrying their children and family belongings on their backs, and after a brief visit to the shrine at Guadalupe fill their bottles at the holy spring, and are off swiftly and silently as they came.—Mexican Herald. THE BROAD AX. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Farmers, Soldiers, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Indians, Mormons, Republicans, Priests, or any other 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 official right to speak its own mind. Local communication will have attention; this only on one side of the paper. IT IS SO HARD TO BE GOOD WHEN THERE IS NOTHING BY BUT CONSCIENCE TO SMILE APPROVAL.

Mr. Rockefeller has just given $100,000 to a New York college. But Dr. Harper isn't worrying. He has good reasons for believing that there is fully $26,000,000 more where that came from. Dr. Knopf of the New York Academy of Medicine, has discovered a disease called "Phthisiophobin." It is a form of madness brought on by trying to make the first two consonants enter into the pronunciation. Cold, hard and other forbidding qualities. Thus Curtis Brown, London correspondent, writes about Rudyard Kipling as his private letters show him. More than one struggling penny-a-liner can prove that Kipling has one of the most brotherly hearts that God ever put pulse into. And this is good, clean, simple truth, which is more or less at the bottom of things. "GO TO THE ANT." And Learn of Her How to Be an Ideal Feminist "It now being past noon and Formica's thoughts turning to refreshments, she hied herself to the outskirts of the nest, where the family cows were pastured. These cows, or aphides, were feeding on the leaves of the daisy, into which they plunge their proboscides and suck all day long, filling their bodies with pleasant juices. Our ant came up behind an aphis and stroked it gently with her antennae, when the little creature gave out a drop of her sweet liquid, which Formica sucked into her own crop. There were thousands of these aphides pasturing on the leaves and thousands of ants milking them. Most of the ants took more of the juice into their crops than they needed; and, on the way back to work, gaye up a part of it to friends whom they met going to the cows, thus saving the others' time and enabling them to resume their occupation more quickly. The ants were making the most of the aphis juice during the summer days, knowing that the supply would fall off later when the aphides laid their eggs. (Note here the superior mental equipoise of the ant, which neither betrays surprise nor writes to the newspapers when her cows begin to lay eggs.) These eggs the ants would store over winter, tending them with the utmost care until spring, when the young aphides are brought out and placed on the shoots of the daisy to mature and provide food again during the hot weather. This far-sightedness is unexampled in the animal kingdom. Other insects and animals put away stores for the winter, to be sure, but the ant is the only one of them that breeds its own food supply. Having taken her fill of the sweet juice on this particular day, Formica noticed that the aphis which she had been milking was in a position on the leaf which might expose it to observation of some aphidivorous insect. She immediately descended to the ground, when she obtained a mouthful of earth, and, again climbing up the daisy stalk, built a tiny shed over the cow, going back and forth several times to bring up sufficient material."—Frank Marshall White in Pearson's. Historie Ronnoke Island. The historic spot where the first English-speaking people landed within the boundaries of the United States is Roanoke Island, N. C., and the date was 1584. The people who settled there had been sent over by Sir Walter Raleigh, and they wrote such glowing letters home and made such attractive maps that in 1585 and 1587 the colony largely increased. It was at Roanoke Island in 1587 that Virginia Dare, the first Anglo-American, as Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, calls her, was born. She ought to have a monument, says Mr. Simmons, and he wants Congress to appropriate $25,000 for this purpose. Besides this, he has introduced a resolution asking Congress to appropriate $50,000 to aid the North Carolina people in an exposition, which is to be held next July and August in celebration of the landing on Roanoke Island. At this exposition there is to be a remarkable display of ancient manuscripts, maps, relics, curios, etc., which will illustrate an almost forgotten chapter in American history.—Kansas City Journal. Old Needlework. The needlework picture seems to have made its first appearance in the first years of the reign of Charles I, for although Elizabethan and Jacobean are said to exist, one with an absolutely unimpeachable pedigree is yet to be found, and the costumes in the oldest specimens the writer has yet seen certainly indicate that they cannot be assigned to a date before 1630. The earliest Stuart pictures are worked with silks on coarse, irregularly woven brownish linen canvas, in the fine, sianting stitch taken over a single thread, which is technically known as "tent stitch," or petit point. This method of working produced an effect much resembling that of tapestry, by which, indeed, the embroidered picture was probably suggested. * * * As time went on the simple stitchery was elaborated, portions of the design being wrought in silver "passing"—a fine metallic thread passed through the material instead of being applied; hence its name.—The Connoisseur. A. Thackeray Anecdote. A correspondent kindly contributes the following amusing anecdote of Thackeray's stay in New York, and vouches for the authenticity of a retort courteous which we seem to have met in other connections. "Your reminiscences of Thackeray's visit to America recall another. While here he was very much attracted by the beauty and brilliancy of Miss B., and, in accordance with the foreign custom, made a morning call when she did not expect any one. Hearing some talking in the lower hall, she leaned over the banisters and asked the servant who it was. 'It's Mr. Thackeray, ma'am.' 'Oh, damn Thackeray!' replied Miss B. 'No,' said Thackeray, who could not but hear the remark, 'it's not Misther O'Dam Thackeray, but Mr. Makepeace Thackeray.' And with a laugh Miss B. came down. P. S.-If Miss B. is alive still, she can confirm this."—New York Evening Post. To Irrigate in California. Baltimore capitalists, headed by General John Gill, president of the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company, are to organize a company to develop an irrigation system to California. It is said that $7,000,000 has already been put up and that a tract of 140,000 acres in the Rialto Plateau San Bernardino county, has been selected for working. A DAIRY PARADISE. When farm land in Illinois, Iowa and Southern Wisconsin sells at from $75 to $125 an acre, is it any wonder that dairymen are looking for new locations, where land can be bought for a mere fraction of these prices? Northern Wisconsin has dairy lands that cannot be surpassed anywhere in the middle west that can still be bought "dirt cheap." Mr. John Mathieson, President of the Minnesota Dairy Association, in a letter to the Dairy Reporter, says: "I made a trip last summer into the hardwood timber belt on the 'Soo' Railway in Northern Wisconsin. I was surprised at the natural advantages offered to dairymen in that locality. There is an abundance of pure water; clover, timothy and blue grass do excellently. The soil is productive, as is shown by the crop grown on the lands in cultivation. This section is destined to be a fine dairy region, all the natural conditions, climate, soil, pure water and nutritious grasses are found here." The location is another advantage, being on the "Soo" Railway. Dairy products are taken in refrigerator cars direct to New York and Boston, where the best prices are obtained. Next in amount of insurance is H. N. H i g i n b o t h a m, who is a good second to Mr. Koblsa t w i t h $700,000. Lands in this region can be had now at very low prices. The soil is a rich loam with clay subsoil, and is exceedingly productive. If you are interested, write for descriptive maps to D. W.

The Grand Trunk Railway Company has completed arrangements for an extensive exhibition in connection with the second annual Sportsmen's Show to be held in Chicago from February 3 until February 22. The Sportsmen's Show is to be held in the Collisse, a large building admirably suited for the purpose. The exposition will probably be the finest that has ever taken place in America, excelling even that held in Philadelphia during last December. The Grand Trunk exhibit will include the collection of large photographs of scenes throughout the summer resort districts situated on its line, including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays, Magnetawan River, 39,000 Islands of the Georgian Bay, Kawartha Lakes and Lakes Simcoe and Couchiching, as well as views on the Portland division, combining land and water scapes, scenes in the White Mountains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the Maine sea coast.

CHINA'S AWAKENING INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE EMPIRE. Shanghai: Mercury Points Out the Great Need for a Better Understanding of the Conditions of Modern Trade-Improvement Started. The Universal Gazette having reprinted at length the prospectus and rules of the "Pekin Industrial school," proceeds to exhort other provinces to follow so worthy an example. The founders of the school are indeed lovers of their country, says the Shanghai Mercury. One great cause of China's decadence is the distinction hitherto made between study and trades, the consequence of which is that those whose study despise those who practice the arts, and both sides suffer from this divorce of feeling and interest. The artisan is just as conservative as the scholar, and owing to his obstinate refusal to adopt new methods, the foreign article has come in like an overflowing tide. In fact, if we had been making as good articles as the foreigners they would probably never have invaded China with their commerce. Now the basis of commerce is in the industrial arts. Foreigners often say we have the raw product, but not the finished article, and foreigners thoroughly understand the laws and principles of successful commerce. Our raw articles we sell cheap to foreigners. They make them up into finished goods and sell them to us dear and even so we Chinese are glad to buy these goods and the profits all go to the foreigner. This state of affairs strikes Chinese patriots as deplorable. Hence translations of books on western arts and manufactures are made, but these are in wen-li, and hence only scholars can read them. They are inaccessible to the only persons who could actually carry out their methods in practice. Hence the school of Mr. Huang in Pekin is more excellent than books. For the poor may learn under instructors. At the present time, when much poverty in the north drives the poor to crime, this school will come to the aid of government by diminishing the supply of criminals. The floods in the south have done much to reduce the south to the same distressed condition as the north, and hence such industrial schools will not come amiss in the south. At present we have some factories, started by merchants and officials, but only a very few are employed as compared with the masses of the nation. Now, in Japan, every family weaves, spins, etc., and gets the profit. Formerly we had some things to export which were better than the foreign articles, such as silk and tea. But now even these are deteriorated and the foreign article is ousting our goods in the markets of the world. Industrial schools would remedy this failure. A Japanese book which discusses the state of the arts in China says that China needs a few patriotic leaders to guide her to prosperity. These are true words, and let us hope that others will follow in the footsteps of Mr. Huang. "Carmen" Calve's Merriest Christmas. The laughing lips of a handsomelydressed, dark-eyed woman of striking beauty were framing joyous French expressions in a New York store the day before Christmas as a frightened looking girl of 14 was purchasing Christmas toys. The woman was Mme. Emma Calve, of grand opera fame, and the bright little girl her protege, Edna Darch, of Los Angeles, Cal. The girl was buying presents for her brothers and sisters. The first purchase of the wise little American girl nearly paralyzed the great artist. It was a suit of underwear for her sister Florence. Then she bought a pair of white mittens for little Bennie, a neighbor's child, in Los Angeles. "Buy toys, Edna; toys!" exclaimed Mme. Calve. Thus urged, Edna bought dolls, ribbons, a tiny rattle for a cousin's baby, and many little trinkets.—Kansas City Journal. Senator Dewey's Bride's Wit. Senator Depew's Bride's Wife. This story is told of Miss Palmer, who is now the bride of Senator Depew. While on a visit to a school girl friend at a Philadelphia boarding house Miss Palmer was initiated into the mysteries of combination bread and cake pudding covered with thick sauce. It is an economical preparation served weekly in many schools and boarding houses where there is likely to be a surplus of stale bread and cake. After luncheon, while walking through the city hall courtyard Miss Palmer saw a fine chocolate-colored prison van its showy appearance deceived her, and she asked her host: "Whose wagon is that?" "That, my dear," said the Philadelphia girl, "is our city carryall—it is the black Maria." "Indeed," exclaimed Miss Palmer, looking at it with interest, "it looks more like another slice of your Brown Betty." Drink Wine When Eating Oysters. This is the advice which many Austrian physicians are now giving, and for the following reason: Dr. Okuniewski and his assistants were recently experimenting at the naval hospital in Pola and suddenly discovered that wine poured on oysters speedily destroyed any germs of typhus with which it came in contact. Twenty days is the usual duration of life in such germs, and during all that time they are contagious. According to Dr. Okuniewski, however, no oysters can harm a person who drinks a little wine while eating them, since the wine very quickly destroys any typhus germs—Chicago Record-Herald. The Narrow Streets of Fen, and Its "River of Pearls." The sun never touches the ground in Fez, except in a few isolated spaces, owing to the narrow streets, the height of houses, and the habit of stretching trellises covered with vines across from side to side. The consequence is that its naturally dark-skinned citizens, being rarely exposed to the full light of day, have complexions resembling partially decomposed potato sprouts in a dark cellar. The so-called streets run in straight lines the entire length of the town, an dare all paved with round stones the size of cocoanuts, worn smooth by the tread of generations of slippered feet. As these lanes are never swept, and every householder throws his slops and refuse out of doors, one must pick his way with exceeding care. The Wed el Jubal ("River of Pearls") divides the city into two parts, the new and the old. The "River of Pearls" is fordable in every part, the resort of every four-footed and two-legged beast in the place; it receives all the drainage of the city, and is the general source of the drinking water supply. Farmer Finds A Friend. Nadeau, Mich., Feb. 3d.—Mr. Nelson De Rosier of this place, a prosperous farmer, sixty-one years of age, has suffered for years with Kidney Trouble. He has tried many medicines, but found nothing to relieve him until he began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he has found this remedy to be a friend indeed. He says: "I thank God that there is one medicine in the world that does help weak and sick humanity. I would earnestly advise every one who has Kidney Trouble to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have given great satisfaction in our family." Wherever Dodd's Kidney Pills have been used according to directions, they have not failed to cure all Kidney Troubles, Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Lumbago and Backache. Chinese Superstition. As an example of the superstition prevailing even among those in authority in the Chinese empire, the following extract from the Hongkong Daily Press is printed: "The Tartar General of Canton has been troubled by an evil influence in his yamen, which in one month caused the death of his wife and daughter, as well as of a former Tartar general. A fung shui professor was finally called in. He looked over the city, and decided the evil influence was the roof of the library of the government school for foreign languages. The roof, which was a peaked one, was at once removed and is now being replaced by a flat one. $100 Reward. $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it falls to cure. Send for list of Testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

The distance from the railroad is but seven miles and at the station Adamana, on the Santa Fe, a few miles east of Holbrook, Mr. Albert Stevenson maintains a small inn, accommodating about ten people and provides a spring wagon outfit and several saddle ponies for those who desire to visit the forest. The old pioneer, Adam Hauna, who, in the sense that John Hance made the Grand Canyon, made the Petrified Forest, has moved away. At the forest there are hundreds of sections of tree trunks of various sizes and in variegated colors lying exposed on the plain or half buried in the hillsides. There are several extinct volcanoes in the vicinity of the forest and about two miles from the railway station are the ruins of an old Aztec settlement and curious hieroglyphics carved on rock. Stop-overs are granted at Adamana on through railroad and Pullman tickets where the holders desire to visit the Petrified Forest. Narcent Paints Fine Picture John S.

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle.

Old Rugby Teacher Dead. J. W. Vecqueray, who had been for nearly forty-three years master on modern languages at Rugby, the famous English boys' school, died a short time ago in his seventy-sixth year. He discharged his duties up to the end of last term and was present at the closing exercises. Many generations on old Rugby students mourn his death. Cigarettes Bar Out Boys. Cigarettes Bar Out Boys.

In dealing with the famine in southern Russia the authorities have adopted a novel method of testing the needs of the hungry. They tap the bodies of the hungry folk, and if any one is found well fed he is denied the assistance of the famine funds and sent to prison to expiate his crime. Cecil Rhodes Buys an Estate.

THINKING ABOUT OTHERS. Do not waste what is left of life in regarding other men, except when bent upon some unselfish gain. Why miss opportunities for action by thus persistently regarding what so-and-so is doing and why, what he is saying or thinking or planning, or anything else that dazes and distracts you from allegiance to your Inner Self? In the sequence of your regards, shun wayward, random thoughts, and, above all, meddling and ill-nature; limit yourself habitually to such regards that if suddenly asked, "What is in your thoughts now?" you could tell at once the candid and unhesitating truth—a direct, plain proof that all your thoughts were simple and in charity, such as befit a social being, who eschews voluptuous or even self-indulgent fancies, or jealousy of any kind, or malice and suspicion, or any other mood which you would blush to own. A man so minded and committed finally to the pursuit of virtue, is indeed a priest and minister of gods, true to that inward and implanted power, which keeps a man unsulled by pleasure, invulnerable by pain, free from all touch of arrogance, innocent of all baseness, a combatant in the greatest of all combats, which is the mastery of passion, steeped in justice to the core, and with his whole heart welcoming all that befalls him as his portion: seldom, and only in view of some large, unselfish gain, does he regard what other conduct is his sole concern, and he realizes without fail the web of his own destiny.—Marcus Aurelius. NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS. The decisions of the United States Court on these subjects are interesting. 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the postoffice to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former address, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment for all arrearages, is sent to the publisher.
