The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM SULZER, VERY ELOQUENTLY PORTRAYS THE EVILS OF THE GIGANTIC AND BLOOD-SUCKING TRUSTS THE CONSENTRATION OF THE WEALTH OF THIS COUNTRY INTO THE HANDS OF THE PLUTACRATIC CLASSES. The Trust Evil By Hon. William Sulz er of New York City. To-day the great trusts of the country are practically supreme. Many of them are so intrenched in power that they are to all intents and purposes above the law and no longer amenable to legislative action. The crying evil of the times is the power and the sway of the trusts. They endanger not only our free institutions but our free men. The battle cry of the Democratic party should be "The trusts must go." To-day about 400 trusts control wholly, or in a large part, every conceivable product and industry of the country. These gigantic combinations constitute, in any judgment, the greatest menace at the present time to our democratic institutions. They control the supply, monopolize the product and dictate the price of every necessity of life. They force out of legitimate employment thousands and thousands of honest toilers. They enhance prices, reduce wages and write the terms of their own contracts They destroy competition, paralyze opportunity, assassinate labor, and hold the consumers of our country in their monopolistic grasp. They levy tribute on every man, woman and child in the republic. They blight the poor man's home, darken the heartside of his children, cloud the star of legitimate hope, and destroy equal opportunity. They control legislation, escape taxation, and evade the just burdens of government, while their agents construct and maintain tariffs to suit their selfish ends and greedy purposes. They imperil trade, stagnate industry, regulate foreign and inter-state commerce, declare quarterly dividends on watered stocks and make fortunes every year out of the people. Their tyrannical power, rapid growth and centralization of wealth is the marvel of recent times and the saddest commentary on our legislative history. The trusts practically own, control and run the government to-day, and defy successful prosecution for violation of the law. If their power of centralization is not speedily checked, and they go on for another quarter or a century like they have in the past few years, I believe our free institutions will be destroyed, and instead of a government of the people, by the people and for the people, we will have a government of the trusts, by the trusts and for the trusts. How much longer will the people humbly consent to be robbed and submissively permit a continuation of this outrageous policy of favoratism by class legislation? All legislation bestowing special benefits on the few is unjust, and against the masses and for the classes. It has gone on until less than eight per cent of the people own more than two-thirds of the wealth of the country. It has been truly said that monarchies are destroyed by poverty and republics by wealth. If the greatest republic the world has ever seen is destroyed, it will fall by this vicious system of robbing the many for the benefit of the few. The total population of the United States is about 80,000,000. The total aggregate wealth of the United States is estimated at about $80,000,000,000, and it appears, and no doubt much to the surprise of many, that out of a total population of 80,000,000 less than 25,000 persons in the United States own more than a half of the entire aggregate wealth of the land. And this has all been brought about by legislation during the last twenty-five years. The centralization of wealth in the hands of the few by the robbery of the many during the past quarter of a century has been simply enormous, and the facts and figures are appalling. Three-quarters of the entire wealth of our land appears to be concentrated in the hands of a very few o$^{f}$ the people, and the unimber of persons constituting that minority grows smaller every year. Impartial students of these startling facts and statistics can harldy escape the irresistable conclusion that a conspiracy exists, and has existed for some time, to convert the government of the United States into a powerful oligarchy of wealth. The millionaires, the plutocrats, the trusts, the monopolies, and the syndicates seem to be supreme and legislate in their own interests, for the benefit and protection of themgelves. If it continues, the yeomanry of our country will soon be reduced to a condition of industrial serfdom more pitable than ever existed before in the history of the world. The money power, the trusts and the syndicates and the favored few of the land threaten the perpetuity of our free institutions by subsidizing the pulpit, buying the press, seating well paid attorneys in legislative halls and courts of justice, stifling free speech, and the right of lawful assembly and stretching out their tentacles to the colleges of the land to crush professors who have the courage of their convictions and dare to tell the truth regarding economic and social principles. If you will read the anti-trust act of 1890 and the decisions of the United States Supreme court in the Trans-Missouri freight case, and the Addyston Pipe Line Case, the conclusion will be irresistable to the logical mind that the fault is not so much with the law as with the men who are sworn to enforce the law. The law, so far as it goes, is all right. The do-nothing Attorney General is all wrong. The imperative mandate of the day is "Enforce the Law," and every trust in the country will dissolve. Whenever the trusts have been brought before the courts, and their true character shown, they have been declared illegal. In my opinion—and I say so advisedly—the Department of Justice, under the present law, can institute and successfully maintain actions against every trust doing business in the United States. If the President is sincere, why does he not instruct his Attorney General to enforce the law? And if the Attorney General is a friend of the trusts and refuses to do his duty then why doesn't the President remove him? The law on the statute books against the trusts is clear and plain, and the highest court in the land has passed on its validity and sustained the constitutionality of its provisions. The Anti-Trust act of 1890 declares that every contract or combination in the nature of a trust in restraint of trade and commerce among the several states and territories of the United States or with foreign countries is a conspiracy, illegal and viod, and punishable by fine and imprisonment. Let the Afro-American voters of Illinois assert their manhood and political independence and vote and work for candidates for the legislature who, if elected, will record their votes against Albert J. Hopkins, the Negro hater, for United States Senator. 1860 DOCTOR NICHOLAS R. ENGLES THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONER OF COOK COUNTY. Dr. Nicholas R. Engles, the subject of this sketch, is well known to the people of the South Side and especially to those residing in the Town Lake. Not as a deceitful politician but as a first class business man one who is amply equipped to serve the people as County Commissioner. For over nineteen years Doctor Engles has been engaged in the drug business, and his word with the wholesale houses which he deals with is as good as his bond. He has been engaged in his present line of business for twelve years at the corner of Union aveune and 47th street, and every department of his extensive A. Great Victory for The Broad Ax. Almost one year ago The Broad Ax began its terrific fight on Rev. Jasper F. Thomas, not because it had or has any personal ill-feeling against him, but the unceasing fight was made on him because it thought his "graft" was too strong, and with the aid of Mr. Theodore W. Jones it has succeeded in driving him from his pulpit in Olivet Baptist Church. At the time The Broad Ax began its onslaught on Jasper he made light of it. He called it "a little 2X4 sheet and claimed it could never hurt him; as no one read it." He did not know that the white gentleman who controls the $15,000 which in time will be donated to Olivet Baptist church read each and every copy of The Broad Ax which contained the attacks on him, and those articles influenced or turned this gentleman against Rev. Jasper and when he observed that his hands were tied, and that public sentiment was crystalizing against him, he endeavored to crush out The Broad Ax by persuading Mrs. Rebecca Springtime to go into court and aware to a whole pack of lies respecting the little old political free-booter or whisky slinger from Mississippi and her supposed mother. But Jasper, his women, nor his poorly laid plans or schemes did not phase us and today we have his scalp dangling from our belt. The continued fight which was made on him which was unequalled in the history of Chicago spurred the officers of Olivet up to their duty, and through their attorney, B. F. Moselay, they went into court and obtained a writ of injunction restraining Rev. Jasper and his blind followers from attempting to interfere in the management of the af- Alderman Wm. M. Butterworth says, "Every week when I receive The Broad Ax at my office, 145 La Salle street, I cannot transact any business until I have finished reading it and I want to say that you are running a mighty good and interesting paper." drug store shows that he is a thoroughly up to date business man. In 1896 Doctor Engles graduated with high honors from the Rush Medical college and as a practicing physician he has been very successful for he enjoys a large practice. This can be accounted for on the ground that he is very affable and is never too busy to respond civilly to those who porpound questions to him. Doctor Engles has hosts of friends among the Afro-American voters of this city for he has ever been ready to assist them in every way, and on the 4th of November they will record their votes in his favor for County Commissioner. fairs of Olivet Baptist church in any manner whatsoever. So on this coming Sunday morning after occupying the pulpit in Old Olivet for over fourteen years Rev Jasper F. Thomas will be a thing of the past, and if the Lord's willing Rev. Mr. Fisher, of Nashville, Tenn., will preach and conduct other services at 11 o'clock, and he will hold meeting at 8 o'clock in the same place whether or no. Mr. Henry T. Elby will have charge of the Sunday School which has grown to be the best and the largest in the city under his supervision, and now that Rev. Jasper has been unhorsed, driven or thrown out of Olivet, her membership will increase and her officers will pay her honest debts. Hon. A. N. Johnson, of Mobile, who has been sick since last July, is spending a few week at Normal in an effort to recuperate his health. Rev. W. B. Brown, of Cairo, Ill., who was in the Birmingham disaster, is with us. Notwithstanding the Dr. is suffering with a bruised arm, he delivered a very instructive sermon to the teachers and student body, which was highly appreciated by all. Mr. Warner, of Buffalo, N. Y., who was at one time United States Consul to Great Britain, spent a few days inspecting the various schools here. He expressed himself as being well pleased with all the departments. Pres. Council attended the National Convention in Birmingham and delivered one of his practical addresses on the race question. Mayor D. J. Hogan, of Geneva, Ill. who is one of the head moguls of the Democratic State Committee, is of the impression that "this is a Democratic year, that the ticket in Cook county will be elected." REV. JASON BUNDY,LOCKED OUT OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH. The officers and members of St. Mary's Church, 50th and Dearborn St. and their pastor, Rev. Jason Bundy, whom they claim came from behind the sun, have been at outs for some time. They sent a petition to the last Conference protesting against the return of Rev. Bundy, for they say that "he is no good." But Bishop Grant paid no attention to their protest and concluded that Rev. Jason were plenty good enough to preach to the cheap "niggers" belonging to St. Mary's and he was sent back to mumble to them for one year more. But last Sunday morning when Rev. Bundy was all ready to shout and snort for the Lord, he found his church closed up and a notice nailed on the doors warning him to move on or brush by as its officers and members did not propose to permit him to pull the wool over their eyes any longer. Then Rev. Bundy rushed to the 50th St. Police station for help but he was unsuccessful for the police informed him that he must fight his own church battles, that they would not mix up in them, and the result was that Rev. Jason waded around in the mud and rain all day without being able to enter or to preach in his church. Those belonging to St. Mary's should be honored for having the courage to kick Rev. Bundy out of their church. It shows progress on their part. Now let those belonging to Quinn Chapel, Bethel, Olivet, and the other churches do likewise with their unworthy preachers for many of these preachers put in most of their time drinking whisky and running after fast women. A. NEW BAPTIST CHURCH. Central Missionary Baptist Church, 3705 State et., sixty days ago four gentlemen of the Baptist persuasion invited and secured the service of Dr. J. Madison, Mason B. Th., of Nashville, Tenn., to come to the city of Chicago to conduct a Union Gospel Tent meeting. The meeting proved to be a success from the very beginning. Many were converted and also many backsliders were reclaimed. And quite a number of the wandering sheep returned to the fold. As a final result of the tent meetings, the Central Baptist church was organized. All the Baptist churches in the city were invited and the following churches excepted the invitation and sent their pastor and deacons to take part in the organization: Herman, Friendship, Olivet, Providence, Shiloh, St. Paul, Butler Mission, Mt. Mariah and Mt. Olive. By vote 12 for and 2 against the organization was ordered. This was on Sept. 30, and on Oct. 2 the church was organized with fifty members, 31 additions last week. Next Sunday afternoon there will be a recognition meeting, when a welcome will be extended to the new church. Our many friends are cordially invited to be present at this very important meeting, and let us worship our God in the heart of holiness. B. B. JOHNSON. Church Clerk J. M. MASON. Pastor. If Edward Henderson or Edward Burrs, the latter being the name of his step-father late of Ionia, Ionia county, Mich., is in the city or if any one knows of his wherebouts it well be to his or to their interest to address or communicate with Julius F.

C., Monday where he will join in the helping to lay the corner stone of the new Masonic Temple which when completed will belong to the Afro-American masons of that city. Miss Elin Anderson, cashier for Jacob Feinberg's market and grocery, 31st and State street,' is bright and full of business, and Miss Anderson, who possesses charming manners, is ever watchful of Mr. Feinberg's interests. Col. John R. Marshall, for a long time worked with white men, and they never knew that he was a colored man, and it is said that Col. John, at that time, cussed and damned the "niggers" much louder than his white associates. If the Old Church Organ is not in favor of the election of Albert J. Hopkins to the United States senate why does it support Ed Morris, attorney for the "Gamblers' Trust?" Young George Dixon and Co. for the legislature? Will you answer this question, Old Church Organ? Wednesday evening, at Quinn Chapel, 24th and Wabash avenue, a tablet in honor of the memory of the late President Wm. McKinley was unveiled. United States Senator Wm. E. Mason delivered the oration on the President, who spoke in Quinn Chapel October 8 1899. Louis B. Anderson, Assistant County Attorney, is one of the leading Afro-American Republicans of Chicago. Notwithstanding this fact Mr. Anderson is a warm supporter of The Broad Ax and he says "It is a live paper and always contains plenty of hot-stuff." County·Commissioner Joseph E. Flanagan strongly favors airing the rascality and crookedness in the county treasurer's office. But the Republican members of the county board are fighting shy of this proposition. For they are fearful of the results which will flow from it. Lyman E. Cooley, candidate for member of the Board of Review, is well known to every man, woman and child in Cook county, and the voters ought to feel highly honored in having the privilege of casting their votes for Lyman Cooley for member of the Board of Review. Rev. Longreen Murray is one of those kind of big fat shouters or preachers who always dislikes to pay their meat bills. Longreen should always be able to pay for his white and black meat for he gets twenty dollars a week as table money, but some contend that he spends lots of his money with the sisters. Rev. Andy Carey from this on wants his members or slaves to stand up in Quinn and tell him if they had been tempted at any time, if so by whom. It would be real funny if some else looking voluptuous sister would stand up and say, "You are the white faced Irish colored gentleman Elder Carey, That induced me to sin." Mr. Charles L. Webb, who was for many years secretary and court reporter for Luther Lafflin Mills, has recently opened an office for himself, Room 311. Ogden Building, 24 S. Clark street; and as a first-class court reporter and general stenographer. Mr. Webb cannot be excelled. See his card in another column of this paper. Mr. George B. Brennan, Secy. of the Executive Committee of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois, is more than convinced that thousands of Republicans throughout the state will vote the Democratic ticket this fall; that John L. Pickering, candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, and Geo. Duddleston, candidate for State Treasurer, both have a splendid chance of knocking out their Republican opponents. « Swbecrtptions must be paid tn advance.

WOMEN VOTERS. Are More Conscientious Regarding Their Franchise Privileges ‘Than Mea. 4m Australian newspaper tells of some curious facts shown by the new electoral rolis of South Australia. The samber of men on the rolls bas shrunk im a Uttloover three years from 83,640 to 76,767. On the other hand the wom- ew voters have increased during the same peried from 68,375 to 71,682. In the three chief metropolitan districts the men voters have dropped from 36,- 58? 40 30,484, « reduction of nearly 16 percent. Women voters in the same Gistrict have slightly increased their aumbers, and now count no--ss than 32,808. The women seem to be grow- fig more conscientious in the fulfill- ment of their political duties and the men more careless. When equal suffrage was granted in New Zealand the estimated number of adult women in the country was 139,- 918. Of these, 109,461 registered to vote. Of the women who registered, 83 per cent. voted; of the men who reg- istered, only 67 per cent. According to the report of the Wyoming secretary of state, 90 per cent. of the women vote. In Denver, at the election last November, 31,780 men voted and 23,449 women. HUMAN BEINGS NOT IMMUNE Reeords Show That Contagious Dis- | Cases Prequentiy Attack People ® Second Time.

The disposition of the human dead by imeinceration has been meeting with more and more favor, that has in no wise been retarded since the first cremation society was formed in Lon- don in 1874. That same year a crema- tory was erected in Milan and two years afterward one was built in Lodi, Italy. In two years more there was one in Goths, Germany, and aft- erward they began to eppear ia all lands. The first one in this country was erected in Washington, Pa., in 1883, and the one in Fresh Pond, L. I, came two years afterward. In this latter eight bodies were cremated the first year and 76 in the second year. In 1900 the total has passed the 600 mark, and during last year it reached 654. There are now 26 crematories in the United States. In the year that New York’s first crematory was opened only 46 bodies were cremated in the entire country, while last year the mumber was 2,645. .

It has recently been discovered that there are about 30,000 cats im Berlia, and, full of their knowledge, the Ger- man Svciety for the Protection of Animals, has conceived a thoroughly Teutonic idea, says a Berlin corre spondent of the Chieago Inter Ocean. According to ite carefully conceived plan, the town couneil of the city is to take the matter im hand, and to iseue licenses for eate, just as they do for dogs, Cats are only to perambulate the city when wearing their authorized little badges, hanging, locket-like, from their throats. There is nothing in primeiple to be said against the fesue of the licenses, but what pur zles reasonable people is the list of penalties that these ingenious people have drawn up. The owner of s cat is to be fined if the latter “be found wandering im the public gardens of the city; or if the bieth of a kitten, or iit- ter of kittens, be not punctually re- ported to the authorities; or, ifs citizen’s pet is discovered prowling about the stretts without ite distine- tive official badge, ete.” This word “ete.” sticks in one’s throat, after the euumesation of the previous offenses. DAMAGED BY SEA WATER. Steel Bails Succumb Rapidly to Ger resion i the Troptes Bear the Sea. Mr. Bricks, one of the engineers in charge of the railroads owned by the Freneh government, recently read paper im which he said that ses we ter, particularly in tropical coun- tries, bas a very destructive influence on steel rails. A few weeks ago the same observation was made by Mr. Deiprat, the engineer in charge of the Dutch railroad in Sumatra. This gentleman says that the sbort railroad at Port Emma, on the cosst of Sumatra, which has been in opers- tion for tem years, and which oceu- pies a position only a little abore mean high tide, has been grestly damaged by ses water, the rails har- ing been largely eaten away by rust. The rails om one of the shorter branches of this road, which rups over « breakwater, have been dimio- ished m weight by about two ands half pounds for every three and half feet of the length of the rails. He says that every year these rails are losing about four per cent. of the weight of new rails. The width of the rail surface bes been dimiz- ished sbowt one inch. OLD-PASHIONED SURF BATE. Mow Leng island Formers Used @e Bathing ia Theis Big Wagons It is not so many years ago when surf bathing of « very primitive kind prevailed at the eastern end of Long Island end, for aught I know, at other points, says a writer im Outing. Every Saturday morning or after moon as the tide willed, throughout the summer, big farm wagdns trondied down to the beach and were swung around abreast of the line of breakers. Old fish houses served the purpose of modern bathing pavilions, and the ses ‘costumes were those of last yesr’s village strest.

The fisherman anchors in comparatively deep water outside the lily pads. He rigs an extra rod and attaches a nine-foot leader to the end of the line. At the end of the leader he ties a heavy sinker, and about five feet above the sinker a large bob on place of cork, which has previously received a heavy coat of phosphorus, says the New York Sun. Without hook or bait he casts this line well in toward the pads, the line being held in place at the surface by a second cork. The line is reeled out, and the rod laid on the side of the boat. Then selecting a lively minnow he bait his casting rod and drops the minnow within a foot or two of the other line. He then Hghts his pipe and awaits developments. From time to time as the minnow swims away from the lure a new cast is made. The explanation of the success of this plan of catching bass is that the fish are attracted by the phosphorescent bob and in swimming around it find the bait. The plan has proved successful when small frogs or crawfish were used instead of minnows. An inventive genius, who first saw the lure in use at Upper St. Regis lake, sent to New York for a battery, waterproof wire and ground glass electric bulbs. For some reason the elaborate apparatus was not a success. Those who made the experiment say the lure is equally effective when used in trolling. For this purpose the lure is made of cork or light pine. It is attached to the line about ten feet in front of the hooks. PENGUIN PUGILISM It was curious, says Prof. C. E. Borchgrevink, writing of penguins in Leslie's Monthly, to see how some of the lazy birds would quickly make off with the pebbles with which they build their nests, and which through great care and work, had been accumulated by one of the band, the moment the owner happened to turn his back. The ostentatious attempt of the culprit to look innocent when caught in the act amused us mightily. The rightful owner of the pebble was sure to pursue the thief and then the two would fight desperately till blood covered their slippers. Sometimes they stood up to each other like pugilists, giving and taking punishment like men, and they exhibited surprising efficiency in the art of hitting. Sometimes they seemed to remember the pebble, the cause of the quarrel, but I noticed that the one who first gave in generally walked off with the pebble, while the other, blinded by success, was left with the honor. Meanwhile the conqueror would return to his nest and find that his kind neighbors had used the opportunity to pebble their nests from his possessions while he had been away struggling no valiantly to catch the thief of one single pebble. A well-known civil engineer, H. B. Carpenter, who has recently completed the survey of the southern line of Utah, says the boundary between that state and Arizona does not cross a foot of cultivated land. It traverses a desert, which is cut up by great canyons that are almost impassable. The length of the line is 277 miles. Landmarks along the line will make it possible for the boundary to be located without any difficulty in the future. Just east of the Colorado river a sandstone butte rises 1,000 feet above the plain, and the very peak of this butte is exactly on the boundary. Mr. Carpenter named the peak State Line butte. Not far from this butte is another, which stands 1,300 feet above the plain, and was named Tower peak. These two gigantic stones will always be a guide to persons who have enough curiosity to penetrate the desert in search of the state line. Lived Down His Reputation. The king of Italy was unpopular at the time of his coming to the throne, because of the stories of his extreme economy, but has lately shown that, though he is circumspect in his expenditure, he is liberal and benevolent. He gives largely to charity, both organized and individual, and in his social life seems ready to make an outlay that is necessitated by his position. Among his recent benefactions was a gift of 100,000 lire to the town of Palermo, to be distributed among the poor and three charitable institutions. Of this sum 50,000 lire is to go to the poor, 30,000 lire to the town hospital, 10,000 lire to the marine hospital, and 1,000 lire to the Red Cross society. The London academy is authority for the news that Rudyard Kipling might have been knighted along with Gilbert Parker and Conan Doyle, but that he declined the offer. The academy further states that Mr. Locky returned a postage, contenting himself with membership in the new Order of Merit. The maple sugar season lasts only five or six weeks, but it yields American farmers over a million dollars a year. Paper coal is a form of lignite found near Bonn, in Germany. It splits naturally in films as thin as paper. Seventy-eight profit sharing enterprises, affecting 53,526 workpeople, were in operation in Great Britain last year. The sanitation of the city of Ahmedabad, India, is so bad that the mortality is 70 per 1,000, with no epidemic to account for it. A white badger, which is almost as great a rarity as a white blackbird, was killed recently by the Axe Vale (England) badger hounds. Signor Schlaparelli the Milan astronomer, has been elected an associate of the French academy of science in the room of the late Baron Nordenskiold. A Roman bowl of Samian make, said to be 2,000 years old, has been brought up from the sea bottom off Beachy Head by a Brightlingsee oyster dredger. Maiden Bower, a pre-Roman earthwork, near Dunstable, England, is in danger of being destroyed by the ex- enon of a chalk quarry, which has dr- dy been worked to within a few yards of the ancient rampart. The Pasteur institute for the treatment of persons bitten by rabid animals in Calcutta is rapidly gaining in popularity among the natives. In the eight months ended May 31 last, 352 persons were treated, and the mortality was only eight per cent. Sericulture, the raising of silk worms, does not appear to increase in France. The official returns for last year show that 132,634 persons were engaged in the industry, as compared with 136,214 in 1900. In 1897 the number was 133,252. The yield of cocoons varies with the seasons. In the last five years it has ranged from 6,898,033 to 9,180,604 kilos. BOER TONGUE TROUBLES. There is no question in South Africa of suppression of the language of the people. The language of the Boer people of South Africa is a patois called Taal, based on the seventeenth century Holland Dutch, with a mixture of many strange words, Kaffir and English, and with the omission of most grammatical inflections. In that happy tongue you are permitted to say "I is." It is needless to say there is no literature in this patois, as there is in Holland Dutch of this century. The official recognition of Hollander Dutch dates from 1882 in the Cape Colony, and is a result of a political propaganda of the Afrikander Bund, says the Pall Mall Gazette. It was openly announced and hailed as the "thin end of the wedge" to prevent the fusion of the Boer and British strains of the European people, and to drive the British into the sea. The vold Boer does not understand Hollander Dutch; he dislikes the Hollander outlander only a degree less than the British outlander, or than the French, Italian, German or any other outlander. He only bears the Hollander tongue, or, rather, the seventeenth-century predecessor of it, in the text from the seventeenth-century Dutch Bible read out in the churches on Sundays by the predilkan, or in the hymns chanted by his fathers of the low lands, who worsted Alva, prosecutor of the saints of the Lord. A very minute proportion of the Boers have any business to transect in the law courts or public offices, unless such as are fully acquainted with English. For a generation before Majuba hill the Boers, desiring to give their children a fair start in their business dealings with the business people of the town, had their children taught English. The English governess was an institution among Boers of any position. At the present moment there are none of the Boer leaders who cannot speak English; there are many, of course, who will not. After so many years of active political propaganda of the Hollander Dutch language, in the year before the war in Pretoria there were only five per cent. of the cases in the law courts between non-English-speaking people. All business transactions were conducted in English; sales and mortgages of farms, sales of mining options, dealings in stocks and shares, purchases in shops of imported goods, sales in the market squares of agricultural produce. Every Boer professional man, every Boer politician, had, as a necessity of life, to be acquainted with English. Prime for Ugliest Gift. From Germany comes a story of novelty and charity. In the town of Haechmann prizes are offered yearly for men who will marry the ugliest or most crippled women and also women over 40 who have been jilted as least twies. The money for the prizes was left by a rich financier, who provided that out of the funds an income of not less than $80 should go to the ugliest girl and $60 to a cripple.—London News.

The government of Egypt in under the direction of a khedive, the seventh ruler of the dynasty of Mahombt AH, who was appointed governor of Egypt in 1806 and made himself, in 1811, absolute master of the country by force of arms. The control of the khedive was gradually increased, and in 1873 he was given the privilege of concluding commercial treaties with foreign powers and maintaining armies. From 1879 to 1883 two comptrollers general—appointed by France and England—had considerable power in directing the affairs of the country, but in 1882, in consequence of a military rebellion, England intervened in behalf of the khedive, and, as this intervention was not joined by France, the joint control was abolished and a decree signed by the khedive giving to England the right to appoint an English financial adviser, without whose concurrence no financial decision can be taken, and since that time an English officer has cooperated in the direction of financial affairs in Egypt. A number of representative institutions, including a legislative council and general assembly, were created by the khedive in 1883, and the legislative council, which is a consultative body of 30 members, 14 of whom are nominated by the government, meets once a month to examine the budget, and may propose laws, but cannot initiate legislation. SNAILS FOR THE TABLE. Some Sent to Paris Are Fed on Aromatic Herbs to Improve Their Flavor. The popularity of the snail as an article of food is not confined to Paris, but extends throughout southern Europe and some parts of Africa. Dr. Edward, a French writer, in a pamphlet, says that 90,000 pounds of snails are sent daily to Paris from the gardens at Poltou, Burgundy, Champagne and Provence. Those reared in gardens are fed on aromatic herbs to improve their flavor. Their market price is from 2 francs 50 centimes to 3 francs 50 centimes a hundred, while those from the hedges, woods and forests bring only 2 francs to 2 francs 50 centimes. The proprietor of one snailery in the vicinity of Dijou nets over 7,000 francs annually. The snail is reared and fattened with great care in some cantons of Switzerland as an article of luxury, and is exported in a pickled state. It is also eaten as a relish and nutritious article of food in Austria, Spain, Italy and in some sections of the United States. The Ashantees and other African tribes smoke them and eat them as daily food all the year around. In Algeria, in the markets, large heaps of snails are sold by the bushel and the hundred as an article of food. Vendors hawk them in the streets of Cairo. In modern Rome fresh-gathered snails are hawked by women from door to door. PRESERVE WEDDING GOWE. A woman's wedding gown is seldom worn except on anniversary occasions after the day upon which the nuptials are celebrated. Most woman regard this garment as especially sacred and take extraordinary means to preserve it in all its pristine purity. The wedding gown box is a recent fad for the well-to-do bride to adopt, and it bids fair to have quite a vogue. That every bride possessed of any sentiment wishes to keep her wedding gown in a state of preservation is a foregone conclusion, and this elegant receptacle is admirably suited to the purpose for which it was designed. It is made of light wood anamedeed white and having the bride's initials in silver letters on the outside. A lining of tufted white satin is revealed on opening the box, and locks of silver and white leather straps fasten it. A photograph of the wedding gown is often taken by the modiste before sending it home and making a collection of the photographs of wedding gowns or any other distinctive costumes is one of the present fads, the idea being to preserve the pictures as momentous for future generations and also as illustrations of present-day fashions. Human remains recently unearthed at Girga, in Egypt, consist of a continuous series extending backward over at least 8,000 years. The bodies are so well preserved, owing to the dryness of the atmospheres in the region and to the perfection of interment, that not only can the hair, the nails, the ligaments, be made out, but also the muscles and the nerves. In almost every case the brain also is preserved, and the climax has been reached in two cases where the eyes, with the lens in good condition, are present. There are now unearthed a series of later prehistoric graves ranging throughout the first 15 dynasties, others of the eighteenth, and yet others of the Paeolmaic and early and recent Coptic periods. Superstitious Miners. Three hundred miners the other day refused to go down the Glyncorryg colliery, near Port Talbot, in Walsom, because they said it was haunted. It was asserted that the figure of a woman bearing a lighted lamp had been seen in the workings and the screams of a woman heard. Illinois River Carp. Peoria ships annually to New York over $1,000,000 worth of German carp. taken from the Illinois, for consumption as food by the Russian Jews. This is an industry by itself. WAYS OF THE WOODCHUCK. Perhaps no wild mammal is more familiar to country people than the woodchuck, says a writer in Country Life in America. Every hillside and meadow is dotted with the small piles of earth which mark the doorway to his home. The woodchuck prefers a hillside or a knoll in which to dig his hole, for here he can easily make the end of his den higher than the beginning, thus avoiding the danger of being drowned out. What could be more unlike in general appearance than a woodchuck and a squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both belonging to the same family of mammals. The trim body, sharp claws and agility of the squirrels make it possible for them to lead an arboreal life, jumping recklessly from branch to branch, while the flabby form and short legs of the woodchuck better adapt him for digging than for running or climbing. The nature of the food of the woodchuck is such that he cannot lay up stores as the chipmunks do, nor is it of such a kind that it can be obtained during the winter. The case of this creature during the winter seems to be, therefore, one of "sleep long and soundly or starve." During the winter's sleep or hibernation life processes go on very slowly. Breathing is reduced, and the heart beats become so slow and feeble that they cannot be felt. They come from their winter's sleep about March 1 in New York. SEA POWER OF THE NATIONS. Great Changes Have Been Made in Some, but England Is Still in the Lead, In a review of the sea power of the great nations the Naval Annual shows that in the ten years from 1892 to 1902 these changes have occurred: 1. Russia, Germany and the United States have all become the owners of as many battleships as France, which ten years ago was in that respect second only to Great Britain. 2. Japan's navy has been created and, for Asiatic purposes, is united with Great Britain's. 3. The British and Japanese navies together number 47 armorclads of the first-class—three more than the combined total of Russian, French and German warships of that class. 4. France has made armored cruisers the prime feature of her new construction and will shortly count 13 of them. 5. Great Britain has well maintained her lead over her two most probable adversaries and now counts 29 first-class battleships ready for action, against 17 for France and Russia combined. Assuming that the United States does not join it the Naval Annual concludes that no combination of naval powers could be made strong enough to destroy British sea power. HAMMOCK SWINGING AN ART. Pointers Regarding Correct Attitudes and Poses for the Dainty Summer Girl. The art of swinging gracefully in a hammock is acquired. It does not come naturally. It is on a par with learning to ride a bicycle or rowing a boat. It takes considerable practice, much presence of mind and skill to become proficient. Awkward positions are easily taken while reclining or sitting in hammocks and the most graceful may fall far short while in one of these most treacherous, though comfortable, adjuncts to a summer outing. To make a pretty picture a young woman should perch lightly on the edge of the swing and poise herself easily. The only true way to recline is to cross the feet gracefully and allow her skirt to hang freely over the edge. The most trying ordeal for the hammock girl is that of alighting from the swing. This is always an embarrassing moment, but quickness and a little dexterity will extricate the young woman from the trying position. Capt. W. Russell Watson, of the New South Wales detachment of the Australian coronation corps, wiring to the London Times, says: "It may not yet have come to your knowledge that one of the gracious acts of his majesty the king before his departure to Cowes was the signing of his autograph on the handkerchief used as a flag of truce when I demanded the surrender of the Boer capital, Pretoria, June 4, 1900. Her majesty, the queen, also signed, so that this handkerchief is now perhaps one of the most historical mementoes of the war, bearing as it does the autograph of their majesties, the prince of Wales, Earl Roberta, Viscount Kitchener and the British generals who were present next morning to receive the surrender of the city. There were 1,071 strikes during 1901 in Germany, involving 141,220 persons, as against 1,463 strikes of 298,819 persons in 1900. In 200 cases in 1901 the strikes were successful. In 285 cases they were partially successful, and in 571 cases they failed. A Queer Bird. Sidney Smith described the ornithorhynchus paradoxus as a quadruped as large as a cat, with the eyes, color and skin of a mole, and the bill and feet of a duck, an eccentric kind of bird bitten with the ambition of being a quadruped.

HOW CHOP SUEY IS MADE. Famous Chinese Deficiency That Is Becoming a Popular Dish in the United States. Chop suay, the national dish of China for at least 25 centuries, bids fair to become a standard food in this country. There are some 60 Chinese restaurants scattered over the different boroughs of Greater New York whose chief attraction is this popular composition, and several American restaurants have endeavored to take advantage of its popularity by adding it to their daily bill of fare. There is a ridiculous amount of mystery concerning the dish. It is simple, economical and easily made, according to the New York Post. The general formula is as follows: One pound of moderately lean fresh pork, cut into pieces a quarter of an inch thick, a half an inch wide and an inch long. Two chicken livers, chopped up to the size of dice, two chicken gizzards, cut into slices the size of a nickel, and each ring pinked with the linas almost meeting in the center. The heat of cooking causes the fibers to shrink, and converts the circle into a many-pointed star. A quarter of a pound of celery cut into slivers, a quarter of a pound of canned mushrooms, and a quarter of a pound of green peas, chopped string beans, asparagus tips, bean sprouts, or salsify. These are thrown into a frying-pan over a hot fire, covered with a cup of water, four tablespoonfuls of peanut oil, olive oil, or melted butter, a tablespoonful of chopped onion, half a clove of garlic, grated salt, white pepper and red pepper. If the fire is hot enough, these will cook in five minutes. The contents of the pan should be stirred to prevent burning, and the moment the water boils out, fresh water should be added in small quantities to prevent frying. The dish should be served promptly, and is not only palatable but wholesome and easily digested. In place of pork, mutton can be employed, while chicken liver and gizzard may be replaced by those of turkey. Some Chinese cooks use the Indian soy, which is sweeter. The effect can be imitated by adding a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce and another of brown sugar or a teaspoonful of molasses. An agreeable modification results from the use of asparagus tips along with the other vegetable ingredients, while the Singapore variety is obtained by stirring in a tablespoonful of curry paste. In the Chinese restaurants the cost varies from 10 to 25 cents a plate, the more expensive dish containing a fair amount of the best imported French mushrooms. She had just commenced housekeeping, with the laudable intention of paying ready money upon all occasions, and she entered a high-class poulterer's shop in a London suburb to purchase a spring chicken. She selected one, and while she was fumbling in her pocket for her purse the shapman politely inquired: "Trussed, madam?" You seem to take it easy enough, commented the passing stranger. "Dat's what it looks like," returned Weary Willie, "but 'tain't so soft as it looks.

Good Times in the United States Swells Tide of Immigration. Immigration has become very heavy as a consequence of the good times enjoyed by the United States since 1898, but it continues to be of about the same character which it had when the movement of population across the Atlantic was comparatively small. There is no sign that the old conditions existing when most of the immigrants came from Germany, the British Isles, and Sweden and Norway will ever be restored, states the Cleveland Leader. In the year ending June 30, about 648,700 entered the country. Nearly all of this multitude were from Europe, the rest being natives of Asia, mainly Japan and Turkey, the West Indies, Canada, and other countries, in various parts of the world. The immigrants from Europe constituted more than 98 per cent of the total. Twenty years ago the Europeans would have been chiefly natives of the British Isles, the German empire, and the Scandinavian peninsula. Those countries would have furnished probably 75 per cent. of the whole number. Italy, Austria and Russia were then just beginning to make large contributions to the population of the United States. Now 171,980 of the European immigrants who landed in the fiscal year are credited to the Austro-Hungarian empire. No fewer than 178,375 came from Italy. Over 107,000 were natives of the Russian empire. The total for these three countries was about 457,000. Only 191,000 remained for the rest of the world, including the sources of nearly all of the immigration received down to 1880. The British Isles sent less than 50,000 immigrants. Germany contributed about 28,000. Sweden and Norway gave the American republic 48,000 of their people, in round figures. Little Greece sent over 1,000 emigrants in the single month of May, or more than France, Holland, Belgium and Spain taken together. It is not long since a Greek was a curiosity, even in the largest cities of the United States. These changes are making the American nation more than ever a condensation or amalgamation of the civilized world. The elements of the population which were formerly in almost exclusive possession of this country are receiving comparatively few accessions from Europe, while the large additions made to the American nation are from parts of the old world which have been least adequately represented in the great composite which is the chief hope of human progress. It is a part of the general equalling process going on all over the world. The countries which are most progressive are leading others upward, and those which are most backward are struggling toward better conditions than they have known in the past. They are sending many of their most enterprising sons and daughters to distant lands, and the currents of migration and commerce alike are doing a vast work for the development of civilization and the welfare of the human race. STEALING IN CUBA BEGINS. "The effects of the American occupation of Cuba are being rapidly effaced," said a man who, until recently, was one of the officials helping to administer the government of the island, according to the Washington Post. "I don't predict revolution and civil war and all that sort of thing, but I say that Cuba will not be long in forgetting the lessons she learned since Spain gave way to the United States. A good many of the sanitary improvements and municipal regulations are disappearing and in a year or two we shall see the same old Cuba, but allee sames, free and independent. "Just to give you an example of the way things are going I will relate what happened in a town not far from Havana. During American occupation the streets of the island were lighted by oil lamps set upon lamp-posts, as is the case in many small towns in this country. For the past three years the people have had well-lighted streets at night, and we thought they had grown so accustomed to our methods that they would continue them when we left. "But the lights in this town were not burning three nights after the island had been turned over to the Cubans. I knew that a car load of oil had arrived at this town only a day or two before we left, and as a matter of mere curiosity I went out there to see why the streets were not lighted. The oil had disappeared from the municipal warehouse, but I had no trouble locating it at several stores, the proprietors of which said they had bought the illuminant from the alcoal. I then went to the alcoal and expected to receive a denial of the story told by the merchants. Instead of this, he unblushingly admitted his appropriation of the oil, and said that under the Spanish regime it would have been one of his perquisites, and he thus regarded it. I unofficially reported the matter, but nothing will be done about it. The grab for these 'perquisites' is going to cause trouble in Cuba, for all will want their share." ak Rea See Nr asd So Hier,” Idaper’ ¥. Toous 2 oe ‘Devting st ONO wes | at some cies.

Canada is » land in which frogs multiply and grow fat because of the immense stretches of waste places, yet because of the enurmous cemand for their legs in the United States the Canueks are fearful that unless re- | strictiona are pisced upon the killing of their native croakers there will be none left in the country. The dominion department of marine end fisheries can do nothing prac tical, it appears, to stop this destruc tive export of ‘frogs’ legs until they determine whether the frog is fish or game. If a frog is « fish the depart- ment st Ottawa has the power to in- ‘stitute a close season for it. If, how- ever, it should be ‘decided that the frog comes under the category of game the question of « close season must Re eee If the law officers of the different governments interested fail to come to an agreement on the subject the matter will probably be submitted to ® committee of experts. Everybody agrees that something must be done to prevent the total destruction of a veluabie article of both food and com- merce. If it should be decided that the frog is neither fish nor game, it may be necessary, in order to secure a law for ite protection, to obtain from the ‘imperial parliament the passage of an smendment to the act of British North America, FOUND MI A LETTUCE HEAD. aE @rem lic Leaves by & Setentict, ee ‘There is really such a thing es get- ting too much for one’s money, as, for imatance, when one buys lettuce at five cents a bunch and has s menagerie and a flower garden thrown in.
