The Broad Ax

THE MORAL MAXIMS OR PRECEPTS EMBODIED IN THE HEATHEN OR THE ORIENTAL BIBLES SURPASS THOSE CONTAINED IN THE JEWISH OR PROTESTANT BIBLE. From our boyhood days until we were able to reason from cause to effect, and to become in a limited degree familiar with the laws which govern or regulate the boundless universe regardless of our likes or dislikes, we had been taught or led to believe by the defenders, the upholders and the expounders of the Bible, that it was impossible for persons to form any higher conceptions of morals or morality outside the morality or the teachings pertaining to the moral laws contained within the lids of the Bible. That if we reject its ideals or standard of morality there is no way whereby we can become cognizant of the fact that it is absolutely wrong to prevaricate, steal, kill, or to commit other crimes. While we have the highest or the most profound respect for those who may entertain these ideas, nevertheless we must not lose sight of the fact that morals or the practice of morality is universal while on the other hand Christianity and those believing in the teachings of the Jewish or the Protestant Bible are local. As we have heretofore stated, it is far from our intention to cast any reflections upon those who have implicit faith in the teachings of the Bible but at the same time we must not fail to take into consideration the fact that the greatest or the most beneficent moral maxims or precepts have been handed down to us through other channels than the Jewish or the Protestant Bible, and if all the bibles which have been in existence and which are in existence to-day were distroyed morality would still exist in the world independent of them all. The first Heathen or Oriental Bible to come under our observation is the kig-veda (Bible) which was composed 2,400 years before Christ. The morality or the moral precepts which it contains surpass in beauty of expression the sentiments in the Jewish Bible. Its teachings about sin, its revelations, its belief in the ability or the Gods to forgive, its belief that its Bible came from God, its rigid code of morals, its prayers, hymns, offerings and sacrifices are all rigidly believed in and lived up to by more than two hundred million people. Many students of history are familiar with the Brahmin's ideas respecting the trinity which corresponds with the ideas which are taught to the people at the present time, pertaining to the trinity. The Brahmin Bible (the Yend-Avesta) is more than twelve hundred years older than Christ, or the Jewish, or the Protestant Bible. It is full of many beautiful moral maxims or precepts. Its adherents believe in a supreme being, in Gods and demons, who interfere with the affairs of men in this world, and who are ever at war with each other. Zoroaster, its great prophet, promulgated many commandments which are similar to those in the Jewish Bible. He taught that he was in direct communication with the Lord. His creed and faith are of the simplest kind. It is "to fear God, to live a life of pure thoughts, pure words, pure deeds and to die in the hope of a world to come. It is the creed of those who live nearest to the Gods and serve them the faithfulest in every age, and wherever they dwell who accept it and practice it they bear witness to that which makes them children of the Gods and brethren of the prophets among whom Zoroaster was not the least." It is well to bear it in mind, that the Jewish people were carried away as captives to Babylon some six hundred years before Jesus was born, and during the seventy years of their exile there in that land which was the mother of science and civilization, they came in contact with the Persian religion and derived their ideas from it or the Persians pertaining to the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, which prior to that time was entirely new to the Jewish people, for their own religion did not teach it. They, the Jewish people, also borrowed from the Persian religion their belief in a multitude of angels, and in Satan, as the ruler of the evil spirits, and it is a historical fact that up to that time no Jewish writer of any note nor the Jewish people had the faintest idea or conception of heaven or the infernal regions or the plurality of worlds. Buddha, the awakened, whose followers number more than other religious faiths or systems in the world, is more than five years older than Christ or the Jewish Bible. The Bible which was constructed by him or his disciples bristles with many lofty and elevating moral precepts or maxims. It contains nothing to shock the minds of little children nor to blunt the finer sensibilities of men and women. Buddha taught that "nothing on earth is stable, nothing is real. Life is as transitory as a spark of fire, or the sound of a lyre. There must be some supreme intelligence where we can find rest. If I attained it I could bring light to men. If I were free myself I could deliver the world." He also said: "The succoring of mother and father, the cherishing of wife and child, the following of a lawful calling, this is the greatest blessing. The giving alms, aid rendered to relations, blameless acts, this is the greatest blessing. The abstaining from sins and the avoiding mein, the eschewing of intoxicating drinks, diligence in good deeds, reverence and humility, contentment and greatfulness, this is the greatest blessing. Those who having done these things become invincible on all sides and attain happiness on all sides. This is the greatest blessing." "He who lives a hundred years vicious and unestrained, a life of one day is better if a man is virtuous and reflecting. Let no man think lightly of evil saying in his heart, it will not come near unto me. Even by the falling of water drops a water pot is filled, the fool becomes filled with evil if he gathers it little by little. Let us live happily then, not hating those who hate! Let us dwell free from hatred among men who hate, and not commit any sin, to do good and purify one's mind." After these most wholesome maxims there follows ten commandments of which the first five apply to all people everywhere. They are not to kill, not to lie, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to get drunk, etc. Buddha taught that it was the duty of all men to honor their parents and care for their children, to be kind to the sick and the poor. We must remember that he lived more than five hundred years before Christ that the rites and ceremonies which were performed by his priests, have been with slight modifications adopted by the Catholic and the Episcopal churches. Buddha also held religious councils and sent ou missionaries to all parts of the east. Confucius, the great moral teacher, and Philosopher of China, lived 551 years before the Son of God came into this world, gave us the Golden Rule. Among other wise and moral things Confucius said was "Coarse rice for food, water to drink, the bended arm for a pillow—happiness may be enjoyed even with these. But without virtue both riches and honor seem to me like a passing cloud." Mohammed, who claims that his Bible, the Koran, was written in heaven, and it is a great pleasure for anyone to peruse it for it is universally admitted that it is written in the most elegant language, and from beginning to end the beautiful sentiments respecting our moral conduct which it sets forth, are far more enobling than those contained in the Jewish Bible. Mohammed counseled his followers "to live good lives and to strive after HEW TO THE LINE. the mercy of God by fasting, charity and prayer." He said: "A man's true wealth hereafter is the good he has done to his fellowmen. When he dies people will ask what property has he left behind him? But the angels in heaven will ask what good deeds has he sent before him? He enjoined upon his adherents to show mercy to the weak and the orphaned, kindness to brutes, to be honest in their dealings with their fellowmen, and to abstain from gambling and the use of strong drinks." Out of the one billion and six hundred million people who are scattered over the face of the earth more than eleven hundred million, are followers and believers in the teachings of the great moralists, and philosophers whom we have referred or alluded to. In passing we cannot refrain from referring to Egypt or the Egyptians, those strange or wonderful people who have for many centuries inhabited the beautiful valleys of the Nile, can trace their history back 5,550 years before the Christian era. The morality, which they practiced and the moral laws which they placed upon their statute books cannot be equalled. For instance, if the master of a slave, caused the death of his slave, the owner was also put to death. No other so-called Christian or civilized country in the wide world ever enacted such a law. Here in America where all the slave holders were firm believers in the Jewish Bible, and devout Christians, the slaves were not in the possession of any rights which their master were bound to respect. It is also admitted by all who are familiar with Egyptian history that the ten commandments which Moses, and the Jewish people claim were written by the finger of God upon two tablès of stone on Mount Sina, came from Egypt. Therefore it must be perfectly apparent to all that morality or moral maxims, and percepts are not dependent upon the Jewish nor the Protestant Bible. Our chief objection to the bible is that it places a premium on vice and crime, while at the same time it puts its everlasting seal of condemnation on all honest and upright men and women who do not accept it as the infallible word of an all wise and merciful God. It teaches that slavery and polygomy are of devine origin; it teaches that a mother can be happy in heaven while her sweet little children, her own flesh and blood must or will suffer all the misery, anguish and pain in hades, throughout eternity; it teaches that Noah, the old drunken reprobate placed his curse upon Ham, his son, and that that curse will remain on the Negro race for as many billion years as there are grains of sand on the sea-shore. JEFFERSON'S RELIGION How every now and then a story goes the rounds to show how very religious Jefferson was. No wonder Priestcraft loves to claim such a splendid character. Let them alone and in time they will have Jefferson and Lincoln to have been shouting Methodists of forty gallen Baptists. Alas for them Jefferson has left imperishable records of his new beliefs and of his beliefs in a letter to Dr. Rush, page 479, vol. 4 of Washington's edition of his life he says: I am a Christian in the only sense in which Christ wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human excellence and believing he never claimed any other." The word human he himself italicised. So there we have it, volumes could not change this. Holt.

JUDGE GIBBONS THREATENED TO SEND REV. JASPER F. THOMAS, AND CO. TO JAIL FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT. Last Sunday night Rev. Longgreen Abraham Lincoln, Mrs. Pasty Dean Murray, gave it out in Bethel Church that Rev. Jasper F. Thomas, who (if he had his just dues would be wearing a stripped suit and doing time in the Pen at Joliet, and who went and prayed with Mrs. Rebacca Springstine in order to induce her to lie against us in judge Dunne's court), that "the courts had decided that Rev. Jasper F. Thomas and Co. were at the head of the rightful or lawful Olivet Baptist Church," and we presume that Rev. Holy-High ball Andy Carey, did Likewise in Quinn Chapel, however that may be, when Col. Ed. Morris, "Grand Attorney for the Gamblers Trust" appeared in Judge John Gibbons, Court Monday morning in behalf of Rev. Jasper F. Thomas, and his thick-headed crowd, his honor Judge Gibbons informed Col. Morris. "That there is only one Olivet Baptist Church that it is located on the cornor of 27th and Dearborn Sts. and not in Arlington Hall, 31st, and Indiana ave., that unless Rev. Jasper F. Thomas and Co. obey the orders of his court, he will send him and his whole shooting-match to jail for A MAD WOMEN WITH A REVOLVER. Shortly after Mrs. Perry Bates moved to 5001 Dearborn St. last Spring, Mrs. Stella Taylor, 5005 Dearborn St., who seems to get a little off her base once and a while, began calling on Mrs. Bates, and pouring into her ears all kinds of tales or reports about the other women in the neighborhood, until finally Mrs. Bates informed Mrs. Taylor, "that she had no time to waste in listening to her rot." Then sister Taylor, who is a good christian, began abusing Mrs. Bates, and when the latter lady remonstrated with her, which made her much worse, and last Monday thier unpleasant affairs came to a climax, when Mrs. Taylor appeared at Mrs. Bates' back door with a big revolver, which she pointed at Mrs. Bates, and she threatened to end her life. The language which was used by Mrs. Taylor, while she was flou- contempt of Court," or words of the same purport. The subjoined statement covers the court Proceedings. This is to certify that the injunction hertofore issued in the case of Olivet Baptist Church vs. J. F. Thomas at. al. by the Circut Court of Cook County is still in vogue, and that at the hearing before his honor, Judge Gibbons, on Monday, November 17th, 1902, the defendants were cautioned through their counsel, Edward H. Morris, that said injunction had to be obeyed and that if the defendants J. F. Thomas at. al. used the name of said church that they would be punished for a contempt of court; that the members of said church who desired had the right to follow J. F. Thomas if they saw fit, but that they could not use the name of Olivet Baptist Church, and that the use of said name would be a violation of the injunction and that if the injunction was thus violated the violators would be sent to jail as for a contempt. Very Respectfully, Beauregard F. Moseley, Solicitor for Olivet Baptist Church ishing her double barrelled revolver, was very bad. After Mrs. Bates, had recovered from the effects of her encounter with Mrs. Taylor, she obtained a warrant, and had her arrested. Her case came up before Justice Quinn, at the Hyde Park Police Station last Thursday. Lawyer J. E. White represented Mrs. Bates, and Geo. Jack Terrell, who beat The Broad Ax out of three dollars as subpt. to it who is not worth going to a dog fight with appeared as attorney for Mrs. Taylor, and when the trial was all over Justice Quinn said, "ten dollars and cost," and he made Mrs. Taylor give or sign a peace bond in the bargain. Mrs. Bates, whom we have favorably known ever since we have resided in this city, has the reputation of being able to live in peace with her neighbors and this is the first time in her life that any of them wanted to fight or lick her. No. 4. Attorney P. J. O'Keeffe, Ashland Block, left for New Orleans, La. last night he will be absent for ten days. Mr. Charles F.

Kunze, is sporting a fine corp of whiskers these lovly autum days, and they give him a fatherly apperence. County Commissioner Rollin B. Orgon,would make a first class assistant sheriff of Cook County, for he is made of the right kind of stuff for that position. Big prize fighter Dan Jackson and Col. John R. Marshall, were defeated for captains of their respective precincts Tuesday night and from henceforth they are both dead ones. Hon. Wm. E. Mason should receive the votes of all the Democratic members of the Legislature and then there would be no doubt about the next United State Senator hailing from Cook County. Hon. Thomas Gahan, member of the Democratic National Committee, will be a Powerful factor in the make up of the new County committee and he stands close up by the side of Sheriff Thomas E. Barrett. Samuel Alston, who was the victim of a huge joke which was practiced on him a few days ago in the city Hall, maintains that "The Broad Ax is the best and most fearless Afro-American newspaper in the U.

Daniels, so far has not been mixed up in any church or women scandals and as long as he walks in the middle of the road he is fit to serve his Lord. Alderman H. L. Fick, still rushes around the City Hall with his big diamond stud projecting in front of him. Alderman Fick, is ever ready to look after the interest of his constituents even to the extent of getting their dogs out of hawk.

Ex-Alderman P. F. Haynes, 26th Ward, worked like a beaver for the election of Thomas E. Barrett, who is an old friend of the former handsome Alderman of Lake View and sheriff Barrett will take care of one or two of the friends of Ex-Alderman Haynes. The Forum Club Institutional Church will on Dec. 2 celebrate John Brown's birthday by giving a dinner at that church, on which occasion oratory and water will flow. Tickets to the feast will be sold for 50 cts. and all male admires of "Old John Brown", whoes soul is still marching on can participate in the celebration. The "Broad Ax," published by Julius F. Taylor, Chicago, is the hottest thing that reaches this office in the way of a newspaper. The way he goes for the preachers of that city is something awful. How they manage to stand it is a question which we confess we are unable to handel. Not long ago they stirred him up against the courts, and he had to furnish grist for the mill, but yet he is doing business at the same old stand.

With these Preliminary remarks, we will proceed with our task of attempting, to touch upon Rev. Lon- green Abraham Lincoln Murray's “Black or unsavoury Record in In.ll- anapolis, Indiana, and ip this city,” and while we may not be able to to tear or pull the mask Off his hypo- critical face, but we do expect to shake him up just a little bit. It seems that away back in 1896 or 97, Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Mur- ray, was holding down a smal) church or Pulpit In Marion, Ind., at that time he was nothing but a big Green County Preacher, and he was perfectly contented to smile on the good-looking sisters, to tell a lie once and a while and devote the rest of his time in feasting on chickens, and eating waterailons. As time moved onward Bishop Arnett, concieved the idea of transfering Rey. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Murray,from Marion to Indianapolis, Ind. and placing him in charge of Allen Chapel, which is the oldest and one of the best church- es in that city, and according to the most reliable reports from some of its old members who reside in this city, and from Preachers, and other Persons who still live in Indianapolis. Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Mur- ray, was scarcely installed as Pastor of Allen Chapel, before he plunged head-long info immorality or Licen- tionuness. He did not realy .have time to get the country dust removed from his large shoes before he had a downfall, which brought disgrace on all the hightly respectiable mem- bers of Aflen Chapel, both men and women, and as their place of wor ship was free from debt they did not - want no one to Preach to them who disregarded his marriage vows one who could be observed in the dark hours of the night chaseing around after other women, while his good wife was home Praying to her God not to burl fer hostand on account of his many black deeds head- long into the bottomless Pit of hell. So in time the great majority of the decent . members of Allen Chapel high- ly resolved that they would not permit ray, to Preach for them any longer, and they took steps to remove him from his Pulpit, at that juncture Bishop Arnett journied to Indianapo- is, meeting was called or held in the Chapel for the, purpose of shead- ing. mew light on Rev. Longreen. Bishop Arnett called the meeting to order and occupied the Pulpit during its progress. Rev.

Taylor, Esq., 6080 Arm: our Ave, Chicago, fil. ¢ My Dear Sir:— “In your write up of Revs. Murray, Carey, and Thomias, im the issue of ‘The Broad Ax, dated May the 10th, I wish to say that you did a noble and manly thing for the Public if these things are true, 1 am a minister in the A. M, B. Church, and 1 know both Revs, Murray and Carey, personally, and I know Murray to be one of the most corrupt scoundrels out side of the Penitentiary. Here in Indianapo- lis his name was the synenim of all a You must see that Bishop A. Grant, is no better than Rev. Murray in that he stands by him in all his diveltry, “Keep up your fight for @ purified ministry, and thé Good Lord will bless you.” We could quote from, many other letters from reliable persons concerning Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Murray, and his sinful acts but we believe this one is sufficient for all purposes. Not for ten thousand dollars would we intimate fhat at the time Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Murray came to Chicago to assume charge of Bethel Church, which was on or about October Ist, 1900, that Mrs. Pasty Dean, rode in the same seat with Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Mur ray, and Mrs. Murray, so that~he could hug Mrs. Dean close up to his unmanly breast, but we do know that the Murrays had hardly fourfl time to settle in their new home 2974 Dear- born St. before Mrs. Dean became a part of their household. She left her home and husband in Indianapolis, so they say for the purpose of fqljow- ing Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Murray to this city, and many claim that four other women followed him to Chicago. Be that as it may, but one thing is certain Rev. Longreen introduced Mrs. Dean to the members of Bethel Church, as his neice, he or some one else succeeded in having Mrs. Dean to become a member of the Bethel Choir, and she sang very sweetly with the other members of the choir, unti] finally some of the officials of Bethel did not like the looks of cer- tain things which they had observed or heard’ respecting sister Dean, and their pastor, and her services as the prima downe of the choir were dis- pensed with by the officials of Bethel church. On one occasion while Mrs. Dean, was still living at Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Murray's house, a gentiéman who had been presented to her, not knowing that anything was wrong paid her a fmendly call, and while that gentleman who is a member of Bethel chureh, and Mrs. Dean, were sitting far apart in the front parlor, Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Mur- ray. buoneéd into the parlor, walked up in front of Mrs. Dean, and the centleman, and disappeared like Ban- “no's ghort without uttering one word. The gentleman was thunder struck and he picked up bis hat and flew. Relating bis experience to one of his iriende, his friend copveyed the idea (o him that “he ought to had better vense than attempt to monkey around Mrs, Dean, for she belongs under Rev. fongreen Abraham Lincoln Murray's heavenly wings. One day early in the semmer we ran into Mrs. Dean, and Rev.

In conctusion it is stifl fresh ih the minds of the people of Chicago how Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Mur- ray, Mrs, Lee and Mrs. Elizabeth Mc- Donal, who is connected with some of the courts, all hang around fn the study at Bethel church at all hours of the night, how Rev, Carey, and his fleck of Quinn chapel rushed in to as- sist in giving Rev. Longreen a thick coat of white-wash after his scandal becam> a stench in the nostrils of all decent people: how some of the fol- lowers of Rey. Longreen Abrabam Lincoin Murray threatened to murder Mrs, Lee, if she did not close her rrouth in reference to her misconduct with Longreen; how Bishop A. Grant came to this city for the purpose of bushing up the scandal; how he gave up the idea of trying Rev. Longreen in Bethel church for the reason that meny of his adherents or supporters were bent upon bloodshed, and were marching on Bethel church avmed to the teeth with razors, revolv- ers, and other deadly weapons; how the September conference of 1901, which convined in St. Stephen's church on the West Side exonerated Rev. Longrecn Abraham Lincoln Mur- ray, after Mrs. McDonald, and one or two other women had testified that “they had swapped spit with him in his study in Bethe! church. Does not all the foregoing demonstrate that Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoin Murray, is wholly unfit to expound the everlasting gospel, or to pose as a g-eat more! leader of the Afro-Ameri- can race? P. 8. Mr. Dean, of Indianapolis, Ind., the former husband of Mrs. Pasty Dean, was in Chicago October 12, and he talked very freely in reference to Rev. Longgreen Abraham Lincoln Murray, and his rascality while he was preaching in Allen Chapel in that city. WEARINESS OF WEALTH. “Godless inidatiieense aed fetish Prodigaltty of Some Bich Hew Yorke. _ The very rich men of the world are growing exceedingly tired of the vast wealth acenmulated. In New York scores and hundreds of men to-day are paying anywhere from $9,000 to $16,- 000 a month rent-for suites of rooms, not homes which they have built for their families, but simply apartments which they have rented for awhile, says writer in Homilitic Review. The godless magnificence, the selfish prodi- gality. the overwhelming ostentation of the wealth of New York in certain circles cannot be described; but it is all an indication of the fact that the climax has well-nigh been reached in the display of what wealth can get. The world is waiting now to knw what wealth can give. It is the ne mesis of vast wealth that ft brings its own retribution, and that retribu- tion is the weariness of being unable to find happiness im merely having things. THE LITTLE FINGERNAIL. BM Was Worn Long Many Years Age ‘ Dut How BM ts Carefully 5 ‘Sientetiend Forty years ago in certain parts of the United States it was the custom to grow long nails. I well remember some of the swells and puffers who de- voted more attention to their little finger nails than they did to their teeth, and often have I seen the fifth digit with s claw on it an inch anda quarter in length.

The gang that I met in ‘Frisco had been rather too enthusiastic in giv- ing me s good time of it out there Se ee when I woke up on train slong toward 7 o’clock the next morning the sleeper bunk felt pretty .warm and my coppers s whole lot warmer. The nearest, in fact, the first stop at which I would have a ehance to fix those hot coppers out was Mojave, and so I hustled into my clothes to 2e ready to hop off the train during the stop at Mojave for one of those <atzenjammer alleviators. ¢ “I asked the Pullman eondustor 10w long the train would stop at Mojave, and he replied that the stop would jast ten minutes. I raced into the station cafe when the train pulled into Mojave, and instructed the man in charge of the bar to rig me up one of those long, long damp things. He went at the job in a pret- ty scientific manner, and the piece of wet work that he set before me was & rare thing to find right alongside of the California desert. It was such 8 fine and effective creation, in fact, that I asked him to frame up an- other one, and I got away with this with equal joy. Then I leisurely strolled to the door to take s look at my trein—and saw the end of it curling away in the rarefied distance on ite way toward the land of the rising sun. It had pulled out without notifying me. I hustled into the ticket office to ask the man in the window when I'd be able to corral another eastbound train, and he said that it ‘ud be along at 8 o’elock the next morning—the mate to the train that had departed without me; there was only one of the overland ‘ex- Presses per diem. So there I saw my- self stuck in Mojave, Cal., the most miserable little sand dune on ,the globe, for s full twenty-four hours. “But that wasn't the worst of it. T had left my Gladstone bag wide, open on my bunk, with my wearing apparel thrown around the section every which way, and in the bag Ii had placed, on the night before, $200 im gold coin, the stuff being .too heavy to carry around in my pockets with any comfort. “T’'ve got a ehance of getting the bag back,’ said I to myself, ‘but what. the black porter’ll do to those $200 in gilt money will be something swoopingly scandalous.’ “I had no idea on earth that I'd ever see 6 dollar of that money. I figured it all out that the porter would corral the money and then stuff my wearing apparel into the bag and hand it over to the conduet- or. I knew then I wouldn't be able to prove any such fact that I had $200 in gold money in the bag, and { gave it up for gone. I told the station agent at Mojave about the bag, and he immediately telegraphed to the next station to be made by my lost train along the line, s place called Barstow, N. Mex., directing that the bag be shipped back to Mo- jave on the west-bound overland. - “The bag was returned to Mojave om the west-bound late that night, and I eagerly opened it up to see what I had left in the bag. Every- thing was there, including the stack yt gold money. f counted the gold roll, and it amounted to an even $190. The porter,I felt certain, had appro- priated just one of the $10 gold pieces to compensate him for his trouble nm pecking the bag, and I afterward found out that I was right in this supposition. “I caught the train east on the fol- owing morning, and when I got to Kansas City I got off to take a bit of a rest at a hotel As I was get- ing off I met the porter of the train hat had left Mojave without me.

The average woman is a dyed-in- the-wool pessimist. Almost every woman over 30 years of age looks distressed. Her brows are bent, her mouth drawn into a tight line, and there are deep furrows down her cheeks. She looks exactly as if she were considering how to provide s dinner for 25 cents that will satisfy twenty-five small children, when in reality she may have nothing more serious on her mind than buying & pair of socks for George. No wonder women grow old faster than men for they hug their worries to ther and let them show in their faces. There was once an elderly servant who was superstitious to a degre and who always expected the worst to happen. Did she find a needle on the floor, did a picture fall in the house or a bird fly into one of the rooms, she was instantly plunged into woe. “We're going to haves heap of bad luck!” she would ssy, and then she’d be lachrymose until some one had the toothache or the cows got into the corn, when she would consider the demon luck orcised or satisfied for a time and grow as cheerful as it was her hsbit to be. Some one once asked her if she did not have any good-luck signs. “Why, certainly,” she replied, “bat they don’t count—I don’t believe in the good-luck ones,” which, by the by, is thoroughly characteristic of the sex. Here is 8 woman who suffers—sut- fers is the word—from insomnis. ‘I can’t imagine why I don’t sleep,” she says to her friends. “I'm sleepy # anything when I go upstairs, bet titen I begin to wonder if my sot Arthur, who travels for s drug frm, is on @ train, and in a minute I se him just as plainly bleeding sod mangled in a wreck.

Her “remaining senses are marvelously acute, and it seems to people who are not well ac- qusinted with her almost uncanny her cognizance of everything going on around her. On one occasion recently, when her companion was away at din- ner time, the butler, either by intent or carelessness, failed to place flowers on the dining table, according to his sustom. If he expected to evade the duty he was mistaken. The mistress of the house had hardly entered the dining-room when she discovered the omission. “James,” she said, “you have forgotten the flowers to-night.” IT Is KNOWN AS SOLANINE.

Gonse's pamphlet and news of the ex- Periment in Algiere became familiar to two farmers in Cape Colony, who determined to undertake the domesti- cation of ostriches in South Africa. Be- ginning with two birds, which they caught and placed in an inclosure, in ® twelvemonth they had a brood of 8, which marked the birth of a new industry which has played a potential part in the development and commerce ofa vast region. Large tracts of land in South Africa, which could not be profitably used for any other purpose, are now devoted to this business, and feathers to the value of $6,000,000, from nearly 400,000 domesticated birds, are now annually sent abrosd from Cape Colony. RETURNING TO INCINERATION. ‘The Disposition of Human Dead by Oremetion Becoming General in Ciwilised Countries, Recent statistics show that there fs e constant and growmg tendency to return to the custom of cremation, that prevailed throughout the civil- ized world before the Christian era, excepting among the Egyptians, Chi- nese and’ Hebrews. The disposition of the human dead by incineration bas beet meeting with more and more favor, that has in no wise been retarded since the first cremation so- ciety wes formed, in London, in 1874. That same year a crematory was erected in Milan, and two years afterwards one was built in Lodi, Italy. Im two years more there was one in Gotha, Germany, and after- wards they began to appear in all lands.. The first one in this country was erected in Washington, Pa., in 1883, ard the one in Fresh Pond, L. L{veame two years afterwards. In this latter eight bodies were cremat- ed the first year and 76 in the sec- ond year. In 1900 the total had passed the 600 mark, and during the 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 number was 2.646. ” @ CONVICT IN PRISON.

Then to i! .kfast; then, if there wae no work to do, I would go back to my cell end est a small portion of opium. Then I would exercise with dumbbells and take a sponge beth with cold water. Next would come s nap till dinner time. After dinner I would read and think in my cell until three o'clock, when I would go to the bucket ground or ex- ercise in the yard, in the lock-etep with the others, for half an hour. Then back to the cell, taking with me bread and a cup of coffee made out of burnt bread-crust for my supper. The count was made at six o'clock to see that all wae right for the night. After that T-read in my cell as long as the oil tested. ‘Obebs, Cabs and Goat. ‘A physician, talking to a reporter of 2 New York paper, asserted recently thet gout‘is rapidly increasing in that city, as a disease prevalent among the wealthy classes, the increase being al- together out of proportion to the ee eran He claims that ia largely attributable to the in- etesse in clubs, fashionable restau- ranta, end cafes, and also to the gener- al use of cabs, even when the distance from the elub to the home is only afew blocks.

In the Swan river district the government is appre- hensive for the remarkable craze that bas taken possession of those colon- fats. A visit to the community showed that the sights, scenes and the horror tion. It is well known that the Doukhobor- sti are adverse to shedding blood. This is the reason why they emigrated from Russia, and it is also the reason why the Canadian government exempt- ed them from tnilitary duty as induce- ment for their location on the prairie lands of the west. As to what they should eat, this was purely a personal matter, but, as it appears, it was one of the features that was overlooked by the government that will esuse im- mense trouble. In this country a man may eat what he chooses, and if his religion dictates that he shall conform to a vegetable diet, such beliefs are respected. All might have been well hed this state of affairs been confined to vegetarian- ism, but the DoukhoBorsti religion does not appear tc bea finished prod- wet. It has been constantly undergo ing changes. From the belief that it ‘was a sin to eat meat, it seems a long jump to reach the conclusion that it is wrong to eat animal products, but these people have now given up drink- ing milk, eating butter, cheese, eggs. ete., and the cows, oxen, goats and fow! are increasing and multiplying, and waxing fat, while the people are on the verge of starvation. x Having reached this absurd posi- tion, it was but « step to another and more ridiculous one. Ifit were wrong to est the flesh of animals the same line of reasoning made it comparative- ly easy to condemn the use of leather harness made from the hides of God's creatures, and then followed the con- demnation of woolen clothing, because wool grown on the bodies of sheep, which also belonged to the Lord. The next step was still more sweeping in its effect on their economic condition. It was to make servante of any of the lower animals, to use them for beasts of burden or for any other pur- pose. ‘They hed the courage of their con- vietions, and at once turned out their horses, cattle and sheep, driving them to “God's Hill,” to forage for them- selves, placing all the burdens of farm life on their own shoulders. For all drawing purposes, such as hauling heavy loads on wagons, men take the place of horses and oxen. Twelve or 14 men hitched to-e plow suffice for this purpose, and it is the only method employed by them in the cultivation of the soil. Women, even, are employed in thie manner, though when coming into town men only are eeen hauling the wagons and buggies. Every day in the streets of Yorktown dozens of men may be seen drawing wagons, hauling what ltttle produce they may heve for sale, and carrying beck t- their farms flour end other neces- sities. The Doukhoborsti are clad excln- sively in cotton clothes and weer rub- ber boots or shoes knit or worer with binder twine, which they buy for the purpose. Their food consists of bread and water, and such vegetables as they grow, and wild berries and herbs which they gather. Their farms are negiect- ed and their stock, of which they hare much, is running wild in the hills, where it will all die during the winter, or be eppropriated by those who are not of their retigious feith, and who will at least give the stock shelter. ‘With the advent of cold weather starvation and disease must certainly follow, and they appear to know this, for they have been in correspondence with authorities in southern Cali- fornia, Nevade, Arisons and Australia, with a view to emigration to « warmer climate where the conditions would enable them to subsist on the soil without trespassing on the possessions of the animal kingdom. It is needless to say thet no one wente them, as they are still in Manitobs, an elephant on the hands of the government that ‘brought them from Russia a few years ago to develop the prairie land of the west, : entnilniteaiie ii ———~ _Pomtnine Ignorance, “It's only a matter of time,” re marked the shoe-clerk boarder, who reads the scientific page in a house- hold magazine, “until all our engines and that sort of thing will be run by heat drawn from the sun.” “What will become of the poor farmers when that time arrives?” asked the girl with the lemon-col- cored hair, who presides over the rib- bon counter between meals. “The farmers?” queried the shoe clerk, after the manner of & person up 8 tres. 3 saates Sat St aes aia bak 0 te trator. “If all the sun's heat fs to Be used to run engines won't it make a mS “Ge @eidea. - Mse—Did he really teke you by sur- ‘prise when he proposed? “-Bthel—Yea, indeed!

I submit the de- tails of e recent interview with « lin- guist who has given special attention to this subject. It ia well understood that in order to enter into perman- ent commercial relations with « for- eign country it is indispensable to know its language. When Russian in- dustries began to develop the Germans recognized that in order to engage in profitable trade in that country it was necessary to learn Russian, and there is now no country where the Russian language is eo much taught es in Ger- many. “The Chinese language is ideograph- ke. It conveys the idea and not the word for the thing, as the figure ‘8’ rep- resents the idea and not the word. The Chinese have invented more than 40,- 300 marks for their writing. In the opinion of my informant it will require only about 3,000 marks for mercantile correspondence, and it will be easier to learn them than the words of an ordinary foreign language. “Russian is more difficult for Amer- feans than Chinese. It takes much longer to learn the spoken language, aecause of the variety of dislects; but any one who can learn enough of the writings to anewer ordinary purposes in « few months and have his know!l- edge perfected by « linguist within about a year. An exact instruction in one of the Chinese languages can only be given by a Chinaman. “This method has been adopted in Germany. Besides the professor for the theory of language, there are four Chinese linguists in the Oriental sem- inary of Berlin teaching the business style and the language of Peking, Shanghai and Canton. It is not intend- ed to fit pupils for the diplomatic serv- lee, but for commercial work.” HOMICIDE IR AMERICA. ptatiatieos of Crime tm This Country Puraish Bvideace of a Tervibio ‘Wide of Marder. Comparative statistics of murder should teach us some lessons of na- tional humility, because, blink it as we may crime, and especially that of homicide, is a pretty accurate measure of the. attainment of civili- gation. There are about 10,000 mur- ders a year in the United States. Mr. Robert Anderson, of London, has lately astonished his readers by stating that in the 6,000,000 inhabi- tants of London there are annually on the average only about 18 mur- ders. In a sermon on crime a clergy- man of one of our smaller American cities recently stated that in his city (of about 200,000 inhabitants) there were in the last five years an aver- age of nearly 30 homicides a yenr, says American Medicine. Supposing. therefore, that these people would not become far more criminal when massed together by millions, it fol- lows that if the clergyman's city were as large as London there would be nearly 900 murders a year in it, instead of 18. But, worse is yet to come: Out of the 145 murders in five years there were only 23 convictions, and the very worst is the fact that not one of these convicted murder- ers suffered the death penalty! Upon cre side, surely, the retort no longer holds that the doctors put their bad work beneath the ground and the lawyers hang it up above it. “so much hemp grown, so little used,” may be pertinently quoted.

Dhs- played by One Man tm the fs Bustaes. | “The ingenuity of some of the han- diers of marionettes,” said = show- man, “is incredible. I know s man who conducts a marionette theater, where- im an orchestra of eight pieces plays under marionette leadership, while in the boxes e dosen marionette specta- tors laugh ané applaud, and on the stage a marionette drama briskly en- acte itself. “The conductor of all this stands, ex- posed to the waist, at the back of the stage, and apparently he is motionless, though really each finger of both hands and the majority of the toes of both feet are working with unexampled rapidity. For each marionette is con- nected by = string with a toe or 8 finger of the operator, and this string sometimes has as many as ten or fif- teen branches, joined to the manikin’s face, body, arms, legs, ete., so that it may dance, smile, wave its arms and do 8 number of other lifelike things. One of these figures, indeed, is connected by 32 strings to the operator. “It is bewildering to think of the number of strings there must be alto- gether,” concluded the showman, ac- cording to the Philadelphia Record, “and really i¢ is impossible to conceive of the dexterity and the thought re- quired in the artistic manipulation of 2 band of merionettes.” INSTINCT OF A MOTHER. (dastrated by the Cow When There is & Mray Calf in the Weet- s era Cattle Herd. : Tt might esem that where half « dosen herds were mingled together, it would be imposaible to select the calves belonging to a particular owner with any degree of accuracy, says E. Mayo, writing on “Beef” in Leslie’s Monthly, that in the round-up they would be- come hopelessly mixed. But ali this is obviated by a very simple rule, whicb is that the calf belongs to the cow that claims it, and consequently to the concern whose brand she bears. Long experience Ras taught the cattlemen that the calf may mistake its mother sometimes, but the cow her offspring never. Of course, in these days of wire fences when the free riders of the range are degenerating to the rank of the eastern “hired man,” and each “bunch” is kept to its own territory, there is small occasion for the exer- cise of this test; but in the old days of the open range it worked perfectly, except in the ease of mavericke— those cattle that had grown to be yearlings or over without having passed under the branding iron—and these the impartial law of the time distributed in proportion to the num- ber of each herd participating in the round-up. DICTATING SORE THROAT. A OCustees Malaty Which AM@itcts Many Persons Who Employ ftea- = egraphers in Theis O@ices Dictating sore throat is an affection of the vocal cords that business men get from the odd, strained, high voices tliat they use in dictating to their stenographers. “I don’t know why it is,” 3 physician said the other day, “but nearly every man when he dic- tates puts his natural, easy voice aside and uses a high-pitched, feverish note that plays the very deuce with the vocal cords as it grates over them. A man of big interests will dictate over 100 let- ters a day at times. His throat is so sore when he is done that he-bas to take some oleaginous and soothing medicine. “The disease is distinctly « modern one,” said the physician, according to the Philadelphia Record, “s sign of these complex modern times, and it has been called, for want of a better name, dictating sore throat. The only cure for it is to teach men to dictate in their natural voices (a thing that seems to be impossible) or to compel them to cease dictating altogether.” LEFT IN DEPOSIT BOXES. em - Beme Strange Reveintions Aro Made Whee They Are Opened by Vaak O@eals. It often happens that deposit boxes rented in bank vaults are opened on account of arrears in payment on the part of the renters, who camnot be found. Then strange are the revele- tions of s box’s contents. A young woman had a box in a down- town bank and failed to pay ite sec- ond year’s rent. As she had disap peared from her former residence the box was opened recently. All it com- tained was s psir of baby shoes. Another box rented by a man dis- closed, on being opened for the usual reason, @ diamond brooch worth at least #400. The bank has held the brooch for three months, in the belief that the mas or his heirs will one day claim it. Often these boxes contain interest- ing letters—ietters from an aged moth- erto hérsonsays the Philadelphia Ree- ord, from # young man to his eweet- beart, from a grateful pensioner to his benefactor.

Some are made simply, the only trimming being fancy huttons; oth- ers are finished with passementeries, Jace and moire silk in bands or pipings, says a fashion authority. These have showy buttons, too. : Robes are tempting in light-weight cloths, silks and stenciled cloth. Some are beautifully embroidered all over or at the bottom of the skirt and front of waist and sleeves. Two-toned cloths are revived for these, and make up pret- tdly when trimmed with some rich pas- sementerie or velvet. ’ The newest tea gowns are in empire fashion, with accordion pleited skirts beautifully trimmed with lace medal- Hons and insertions. They are finished with handsome collars of lace or em- broidery, lace frills edging the collars. Sléeves are elbow length, finished with several lace ruffles. Light colors. prevail for teagowns and white is much favored. . The fancy for fruit ae a decoration has extended to embroideries on din- ner and reception gowns. An illustra- tive gown of black point d’esprit made over white satin was trimmed with embroidery in the form of cherries and their leaves, and had cherry red belt and shoulder straps. Another of pear! gray satin and tulle was embroidered with green grapes. Bleck grapes were put on 4 delicate cream lace gown. On sheer gowns are put hand-work embroidery and lace and winter gowns repeat those of summer in these trim- mings. Cord braiding is put on the thinnest gauzes with good results and the silver lace that has been employed so much is combined with white lace. Tiny bloseoms are set on dainty feb- ries in large rings and scarfs of lace, tulle or satin are threaded through them. Scarfs are also drawn through eloth cut in lattices or circles for trim- ming cloth or wool gowns. Flat trimming is standard for fall and winter hats. These are « trifle jarger than those worn during sum mer, and feathers, breaste, wings and quille are the trimmings. Beaver hats will be fashionable and various tinted velvets sre submitted. Hats of silk plush so far are in delicate shades. Black, green, reds, browns and blues are well represented. Blue and green combinatéons will be numerous and some new fancies in these shades are stunning. Coque feathers are revived im many pretty colorings. Birds are wonderfully tinted, as are breasts. Quills are in black and green combina- tions. The rolled brim sailor in all shades of felt and beaver will be fash- jonable for general wear. Hardly a new skirt is lined—emong the handsome ones, thst is. All have instead the drop skirt of taffete. This skirt of taffeta is cut like the outer skirt, exactly and finished with « plaiting or a ruffle with « plaiting along the edge. We say the handsome ones advisedly. When the outside is not of good, firm cloth « lining is nec- essary to help keep it in shape, and when the lining is of some cheap cot- ton stuff the wearer certainly would not want it hanging loose. It has one thing to recommend it especially. When it is worn out it may be cast aside. In the case of a worn-out lin- ing meade in a skirt one must have the whole thing taken apart to reline it, and this ie about as much trouble as meking s new skirt. With the drop skirt there’s only to buy another. It is to be hoped our stores will keep them ready made. Young Lady Setsed wtth Catalepsy, Interred, and Suffocntes fm Ber Casket. A letter received in Paris from Buenos Ayres records the death of Mlle. Cambaceres, a descendent of the famous French general and a member of one of the leading families in the Argentine cspital, under most dis- tressing circumstances, saye a Paris correspondent of the New York Her- ald. The unfortunate young lady bed just turned 18 years of age, and her birth- day was celebrated by « grand recep- tion. All her friende came to offer their congretulations end brought presents. In the evening Mile. Cambaceres went up to her room to dress forthe opera. She was in the sct.of putting on her hat, when she fell to the ground, apparently dead. The funeral took place within % hours, se under municipal law a corpse must not be kept longer, on account of the heat and the danger of decom- position. A tow dsys afterward someone start- ed the theory that Mlle. Cambaceres had been poisoned, and the authorities ordered the body to be disinterred and @ post-mortem examination made. When the coffin was opened it was found, to the horror of every one, that the veil which covered the face of the unfortunate girl was torn and her face scratched all over. From these facts it appeared clear that Mile. Cambac- eres had been buried alive and bed torn the veil and scra' r face ip her struggle to get out of the coffin. ‘The case, though not reported in the press, has produced a most painful impression in Buenos the more 80 as Mile.

If Representative Church and the other Cook County Republican members of the Legislature want the next United States senator to come from this city or County, let them rally to the support of Hon. William E. Mason and stand by him until he is re-elected to the United States Senate. Rev. Father Flanagan, St. Anne's Church, Wenthworth Ave. and Garfield Blvd. celebrated his 63rd birthday Sunday, and hundreds of his friends were present to greet him. Father Flanagan, is beloved by the people of the Town of Lake, and he is a Power for good in the city of Chicago. Our old friend John A. Taylor, Salt Lake City, Utah, is spending several days in this city, visiting with his brothers.

Geo. J. Woods who conducts a gambling joint on State street, near 30th, aspires to be the leader of the Afro-American Democrats of Chicago, and some say that he will endeavor to dictate to Sheriff Barrett whom he shall and whom he shall not appoint to office that is among the Afro-American Democrats. But we do not believe that Sheriff Barrett will pay much attention to the advice of any colored man simply because they are able to conduct cheap gambling or crap games. Rev. Thomas Dixon recently took the center of the stage and denounced "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as pernicious reading. The noise caused by this declaration having subsided, the broadminded preacher of the gospel steps to the front with this wild declaration: "My deliberate opinion of the modern Negro in this country is that he is not worth hell room. If I were the devil I would not let him in hell. They will be driven from the south just as surely as they swarm that place now."—Ex.

If it was or is honest in its opposition to him why did it support Ed. Morris, attorney for the ("Gambler's Trust"). George W.

If a thoughtful woman were asked, "What is the greatest curse of your sex?" she might well answer, "Impulse." It is responsible for almost all the mistakes made by the good-hearted among us. May it not safely be said that a few minutes' thought before speech or action would prevent most fatal blunders? Many of us are in positive bondage—quickness to feel, to show our feelings, to retort or to respond. If we are hurt we must immediately "give ourselves away," as the phrase runs, if not by bitter speech, at least by look and manner, yet reflection frequently brings the keenest regret for lost dignity, the betrayed secret or other ill results.—Home Magazina.
