That was a very amusing bunch of
alleged “prominent colored republi-
cans” who met in Columbus about the
middle of August. Wonder how much
the alleged meeting cost the state
republican executive committee.

The “jim crow” dinner tendered the
Afro-American members of the Me-
Kinley notification committee in this
city some weeks ago, seems to worry
some people very much. Very pro-

We call the attention of our ex-

lass monument in our Rcchester, N.

According to Bishop Alexander
Walters, president of the National
Afro-American Council, some of the
brethren in Indianapolis “tampered”
with the programme of last week's
sessons, leaving ont persons whom he
or the proper committee had assigned
to address the body. ‘The printed
programme did not contain several
names on the programme he seht to
the “Hoosier” capital. This is to be
regretted. It may have occurred as
the result of an oversight, however.

Over a dozen of the Akron, 0.,
rioters were jailed the first of the
week, and the same thing is brewing
for those in New York city. A num-
ber of the Empire City’s policerren
who encouraged or “winked at” the
New York city rioters are also on
the road to punishment. All of which
is decidedly encouraging. ‘Those in
Ohio will be properly dealt with or
we will }e very much mistaken in our
judgment, the result of thirty-five
years’ residence. The majesty of
Ohio’s law must be maintained.
According to Hon. W. C. P. Breck-
inridge, of Kentucky, whom the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches of August 28
said bad been engaged with ex-At-
torney Gen. Pillsbury, by one Giles
Jackson. of Richmond, Va., to insti-
tute proceedings to test the constitu-
tionality of the recently adopted
franchise amendments of the <onsti-
tutions of four southern states, poth-
ing of the kind has been dene. Jack-
son was said to represent “the na-
tional council of the Constitutional
Rights Association,” an organization
unheard of heretofore. ‘The national
Afro-American council has started a
fund to do what the Associated Press
said Jackson had started to do, and
the matter will be attended to in due
time.
We do not nor have we ever adyo-
cated the joining of the democratic
party upon the part of our people. We
are and always have beer a republi-
can. However we do believe in point-
ing out the mistakes of our party
and its leaders which have a
baneful and hurtful influence
upon the progress of — our
race and we believe in so doing
when such action is most likely to
call the attention of said party lea-
ders and party itself, to failures to
do their and its full duty by so loyal
and potent a factor us the party's
Afro-American contingent. This is a
duty which devolves upon every truc
race advocate and leader, and the
sooner they recognize the fact and
act accordingly, the better it will be
for the race and party. ‘
Hon. Harry C. Smith. of the Ga-
zette, is “a warm member,” bat he is
one of the race's leaders who is a
hundred years ahead of the times.
Cool off, old friend. ‘The Negro has
been loyal to the republican party at
the expense of too many precions
lives, and if the republican party has
decided not to offend the south in
the interest of the Negro, Mr. “Cuffy”
has agreed not to offend them in the
interest of the republican party.—-

. All very well; but we are going to
stay right in the republican party and
kick and agitate at a time when its
leaders are forced to heed and listen,
vuntil they see the wisdom of acting
in the interest of the race. Join
hands with us, Brother Johnson, and
all other manly Afro-Americans of
the press and pulpit who hold the
vital interests of the race as par-
amount to party interests, and it will
not be long ere the desired change
fis effected. We are not one day
“ahead of the times,” and it is not
teeeessary to leave the republican
party to do what we indicate, either,

W. M’S N. HIRELINGS.
It will be seen by reference to clip-
pings from the St. Joseph (Mo.) Radi
eal and the Kansas City (Mo.) Cols
ored Messenger, that the national re-
publican committeeman from Mis-
Souri (It, C. Kerens) not only “in-
structed” that state's delegates to
the national Afro-American council
meeting held in Indianapolis last
week, but also paid their transporta-
tion and other expenses. Other na-
tional committeemen did likewise,
and in spite of this failed to secure
an indorsement from the great body
for the McKinley administration.
This is most creditable indeed to the
council. Thank God! We at last
have a national organization above
and beyond the pernicious influence
of partisan polities and political par-
ties. That noisy Missouri delega-
tion, every one of them, ought to
hang their heads in shame. Great
(2) “race men” are they who will
place themselves in such a disgraceful
attitude toward their people. ‘There
were others of a like kind from Chi-
cago and Indianapolis. 0! SCAT!
It is enough to make ene vomit.
RANK INJUSTICE.
One Mrs. Gillham, of Fayetteville,
Ala., claimed to have been assaulted.
A colored man, Gibbs, was identified
by her as the guilty patty. She was
positive and unequivocal in her
charge, and a mob was hot and raz-
ing for the life ef the accused. Tut
Gibbsdeclared himself innocent of the
charge and was ready to prove an
alibi, He held that at the very hour
he is said to be criminated, he was
then at work for Senator Ed. L, Ktul-
ley, of Montgomery, Ala. ‘The pris-
oner was taken before Senator Rulley
and the truth of his statement veri-
fied. At the very time and place
Gibbs was at work for Senator Rulley
and the man is again taken before
Mrs. Gillham, She at. once acknow-
edged her probable mistake and she
and her husband asked the release of
Gibbs. Smitten with the shame of
the crime that they were about to
commit, the mob, in sheer pretense
of sincerity, held the prisoner, white
they further investigated the facts.
They found nothing upon which tn
base a tangible charge, and still, in
lawless defiance, these bad men con-
tinue to seek their victim. But the
evidence is agaiust mol: violence and
only shows how constantly the law is
broken and innccent men are made to
suffer for no crime they have commit-
ted. But for the statement of Sen-
ator Rulley, poor Gibbs might have
forfeited his life, only to appease the
madness of an infuriated mob, an‘
perhaps the over-readiness on the
part of Mrs. Gillham to wreak ven-
geance upon a poor and unfortunate
race. We doubt that Mrs. Gillham
has been prepared at any time to
make affidavitas to herreal assailant,
It may have been a man of another
race in disguise, or it may have been
no man at all, seeking to villainously
assail her. She may have been fright-
ened, it is true, but timid women are
ofttimes more or less alarmed when
found in the dark, and this lesson
should serve ax a warning to those
whose hearts are reeking with malice
and prejudice against an enfeebled
people.
We want no democratic limburger
cheese politics in ours this year, and
we pity the black people whe think
they can gorge their stomachs with
it and not die of it, Y. Age.
A few years ago the editor of the
Age was located at Cincinnati, 0., by
the national democratic committee
and fought throughout that cam-
paign for Grover Cleveland, the sec-
ond time he ran for the presidency,
end was defeated. Our confrere
gorged his stomach with democratic
limburger cheese polities that year
and still lives “after a fashion.” How
do you account for it, “Byer” For-
tune? We can understand why the
editor of the Age wants no more of
that kind of polities but fail to sec
why it will cause death in the cases
of others who imbibe it when it had
no such effect on him in 1888. How
about it, Timothy Thomas Fortune?
Gongress will neglect. one of its
most solemn duties if it fails next
winter, when fixing the appeintment
for the house, to cut down the rep.
resentation of the four states of Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, North Carolina
and Seuth Carolina in both the’ house
and the electoral college, in propor-
tion to the denial of the right of sutf-
frage to the black voters in those
states. Those states are not entitled
to the representation they now have
in congress and the electoral college,
and the constitution provides a way
in which it may be reduced.—Cleve-
land Leader.
Before this is done, however, Presi-
dent McKinley should see to it that
his attorney general institutes pro-
ceedings in the supreme court of the
United States, to test the constitu-
tionality of the recent amendments
to North and South Carolina, Louisi-
ana and Mississippi’s state constitu-
tions, disfranchising so many thou-
sands of citivens. This is a dvty.
The editor of the N, Y. Age, Tim-
othy Thomas Fortune. who refused
to understand our objections to a
“Jim crow” Negro forced upon the
Afro-Americans of Ohio as a repre-
sentative, thus early registers his
kick against somewhat similar treat-
ment in the following manner:
“Phe Afro-American republicans of
New York are entitled to representa-
tion on the state committee. The
representation should be dictated by
them and should represent them, and
not be dictated by and represent some
white politician, as has uniformly
been the case in the past.”
Of course, of course?’ Why in the
name of heaven were you not MAN
enough to regard the “kick” we reg-
istered some weeks ago against just
such mistreatment as you apprehend
and rail against? A very inconsist-
ent fellow, that editor of the Aga
The national republican comiittee
is far better able to pay for than we
are to stand the cost of the publica-
tion of matter it sends race papers
through J. E. Bruce, of New York
City; F. L. Barnett, esq., of Chicago;
Hon. Perry Heath and others. The
committee pays the German, Bohe-
mian, Polish, Irish and all other
class newspapers it uses in a some-
what similar way, and should also be
made to settle with the Afro-Ameri-
can newspaper, because it needs,
and is entitled to, such fair ireat-
ment most. Bruee and Barnett are
not working for “fun or glory.”
This, one can rest assured of. Re-
fuse the “stuff” they send you and
send it back to the literary bureau
of the committee.

Politically speaking all Negro news-
papers are not republican, and if the
leaders of that party are not — ac-
quainted with this fact they had bet-

CONGRESSMAN WHITE TALKS.
WII Move Out of North Carolina and
Advises Others to Do Likewise—His
Reasons for so Doinc.
Washington, D. C.—Congressman
George Henry White, of the North
Carolina district, the only Negro in
congress, has decided not to be a
candidate for a third term, and wif!
move out of the state. The reason
of his action is found in the almost
total disfranchisement of the colored
voter of North Carolina. Moreover
he advises the Negroes of the state
to follow his example in this latter
respect and migrate to the rerth and
west.
“I know I never could get a certifi-
eate of election again,” he said in
an interview, “even if I were elected.
I cannot live in North Carolina and
be a man, and be treateds as a
-man. In_ my __ intercourse with
the bar of North Carolina in the past
I have neve? been made to feel that
I was on a different plane with any-
one else because I was a colored man,
but I know that I cannot be so any
longer. I have made up my mind
in the last three or four days not
to be acandidate for renomination
to congress,
“Che result of the constitutional
amendment of North Carolina will be
that the state will lose 50,000 of its
colored people in the next eight or
ten years. You must remember this
restrictive measure against the Negro
is not really politicel. The political
part of it is a mere subterfuge, ans
is a means for the general degrada-
tion of the Negro. My plan is 19
adviseand encourage the immigration
of the Negroes of North Carolina to
the west and north, but especially to
the west.
“I do not want to see them col-
onized anywhere. for that would re-
sult in a repetition of what has taken
place in North Carolina and the south
generally. 1 think they should lose
themselves among the people of the
country. A few families should set-
tle here and a few there. Then
their children will be better edueat-
ed. But the bulk of the colored peo-
ple must of necessity remain in the
south, and I think this plan of im-
migration will not only benefit those
who leave the south, but those who
remain there as well. This immi-
gration should be systematic and a
home should be provided for a col-
ored family before they leave their
old homes in the south. There should
be no wholesale removal.”

Just before the departure of ex-
Gov. Stone, of Missouri, to the east
the bishop sent the vice-chairman of

a telegram saying that the Atlanta

HOW THEY MARRY IN CHINA.
Wedding Customs Which Appear
Very Ridiculous in the Eyes
of Christians.
(2he marriage Of the upper classes
in China is surrounded by a number
of very elaborate ceremonies, though
those of humbler station content
themselves with more primitive rites,
says the London Express.
Among the classes supposed to be
better off a great feast is one of the
most important items of the day's
proceedings. This, which answers to
the wedding breakfast, is spread on
tables at the east and west of the
dining-hall. But, curiously enough,
neither bride nor bridegroom is per-
mitted to taste of the delicacies there-
on displayed. Instead, a meal for the
“happy man” is spread in the court-
yard. Before the ceremony he makes
obeisance to his father and the wed-
ding guests, kneeling down and
knocking his head six times against
the ground. The father hands him
a goblet of wine and tells him to
send for his bride.
The formula in the bidding never
alters. It is in the following words:
“Go, my son, and seek your wife, and
behave in all things with prudence
and wisdom.” The sedan chair, ot
palanquin, which is dispatched for the
reception of the bride, is invariably
painted red, and is often richly
adorned with paintings and varvings.
A profusion of gilding is always one
of its most characteristic features.
A large procession, including a band
of music, is always sent as escort to
the blushing bride. Gay lanterns and
banners, torches, umbrellas and fans
are always carrie@l in the procession,
not to mention various emblems ap-
propriate to the occasion. Thus a
tiny orange tree, well loaded with
golden fruit, is taken along as a sym-
bol of a large family. A goose and a
gander are emblematical of conjugal
fidelity, while a dolphin means world-
ly prosperity and a high position.
The color of all the paraphernalia is
red—the hue of rejoicing. Red fans,
red lanterns, red umbrellas, together
with the red-painted palanquin and
the red costumes of the attendants,
make a bright splash of color. And
with the musicians blowing and
thumping their hardest, gongs beating,
torches spluttering and flaring and
lanterns gleaming a Chinese wedding
procession appeals powerfully alike
to eye and ear.
It is etiquette for everybody to
make way for the cortege, and China's
penal code provides a sévere punish-
ment for anybody neglecting to do so.
Before the bride sets forth on os
journey to her new abode, whither
she is bidden by a few lines written
on red paper, and presented by the
friend of the bridegroom—answering
to the English “best man”—she does
kow-tow to her father and mother,
drinks a last eup of wine and, kneel-
ing, listens to harangues from her
parents on the new state of life into
which she is now entering, and her
duties therein. These orations, in the
best style of Chinese eloquence, oc-
cupy some time, meanwhile the poor
little bride, on her knees, listens with
what patience she may command.
Ere stepping into the palanquin she
veils herself in silk of the orthodox
shade of red, then the return proces-
sion starts,
Arrived at the house, a curious cere-
mony takes place, the bride being
presented with a tray containing rice
and betel nuts. She must prostrate
herself at the feet of her future hus-
band, to denote her complete submis-
sion to his will. Then the girl un-
veils, and for the first time the bride-
groom sees his bride's face.
Ancestor worship and the adoration
of the heavens and the earth are es-
sential parts of a Chinese marriage
ceremony, though the formal adora-
tion of the ancestral tablets does not
take place till the third day after the
wedding. The bride at the wedding
feast must prostrate herself before
her parents-in-law, to whom she gives
wine. The mother-in-law in her turn
presents the bride with a cup of wine.
Three days after marriage a grand
visit of ceremony is paid to the wife's
parents. Servants laden with pres-
ents accompany the newly wedded
pair.
An illustration of the new lights
which science throws upon old ques-
tions is the modern explanation of an
experiment made nearly three cen-
turies ago by the Flemish physician,
Van Helmont. In a pot of earth
weighing 200 pounds he planted a wil-
how branch weighing five pounds. He
kept the plant well watered and in
five years the willow had gained 164
pounds in weight, while the earth in
the pot had lost only two ounces. Van
Helmont inferred that the plant's
gain was due only to the water which
had been supplied. Modern botanical
science proves that the gain was in a
great measure due to the carbon ab-
sorbed from the air.—Little Chronicle.

BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE

Day Meeting —Officers.
Poston, Mass.--The Nationy] Negro.
Business Men's League met here and
organized on August 23, 24 and 25.
A bananet was tendered the dele~
gates. The sessions were very inter~
esting. The man who set the ball
a rolling was Andrew F. Hilyer, Wash~
ington, D. C. His paper was on
“Negro Enterprise at the South,” and
a more interesting discussion of the
subject we have never heard. Mr.
Hilyer was appointed by the U. S.
government to collect data concern=
ing the business standing of the
southern Negro for the Paris Expo-
sition. and his investigation brought
out the following facts: For the
year 1890: Number of Negroes im

agents and collectors. 1,172; boarding”

sides the $56,000 worth to the credit.
of the True Reformers, and that dur--
ing the panie cf 1893 the Bank of
True Reformers made a loan of $109,~
000 to the school board of Richmond
to pay the teachers, after the board
had failed to secure that amount
from any of the other banks in the
city. This news surprised ninety
per cent. of the delegates and all of
Roston. The idea of a Negro bank
being established on such a solid basis:
and conducted on such business prin-
ciples as to be able to lend white peo
ple money at a time when white pco-
ple could not lend it to each other
was a revelation. That the white
people in Roston should hear this
alone is worth all the effort put forth
to have the convention. ‘The race
wants some reputation along mone~
tary lines, and this is the way to
establish it. The following officers.
for the ensuing year were elected:

Alabama; vice president, Giles B..

MAJESTY OF THE COURTS
Not Conspicuously Displayed in Peck’s:
Case—Akron Negro May be Entitled
to a Trial in Open Court- Confession
Easpired by Fear.
“Louis Peck should have had a fair
trial in open court if it had taken all
the militia in the state to accomplish’
it,” said Assistant County Prosecutor
Charles Snider yesterday in diseussing
the rapi@ manner in which the threat-
ened man was disposed of In the Sum-
mit county courts. “The United States
courts do things differently, and the
people respect them,” he continued:
“Had a mob threatened a United
States court as it did the Sumpnit
county tribunal, I tell you thas every
regular sholdier in the United States
‘would have been simmoned to pre-
serve order, if necessary. And the
people would not dare to attempt
violence because they know that pun-
ishment would be meted nt with no
light hand. Mobs are made up for
the most part of iawless people who
have no responsibility of any lind
on them.”
Assistant Prosecutor Ross coincided
with Mr. Snider's views, saying that
Peck's trial was certainly a violation
of the bill of rights of the constitu
tion of the state, which provides for
a fair and just trial.
County Clerk Coates said: “I am
not familiar enough with the facts in
the case to attempt to criticise the
court adversely, but I will say that
every man, white or black, red or’
brown. no matter what his crime, is)
entitled toa fair and just trialinopen.
court.”
County Solicitor Kaiser called at-
tention to the general rule in law
that an act done by a person under’
fear, coercion or intimidation is not
legal. If it can be shown that Feck's
plea of guilty was the result of fear,.
in the opinion of many lawyers excel-
lent ground exists for a new trial.

We give space to a timely editorial from the official organ of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of this country. The Odd Fellows' Journal, of Philadelphia Pa., anent Editor H. C.

The "jim crow" Negro is a bad "article" and must go. He objects to take his own medicine when traveling, but at home he refuses equal accommodations to his own kith and kin.

The Royal Marine Pand, of Italy, will play at Gray's Armory Monday and Tuesday evenings (September 10 and 11). Seats can be secured at Burrows Bros. Signor Giovanni Setaro, the greatest harpist ever heard in America, who was with the band during its summer season at Atlantic City and Willow Grove Park, will be present. He and his $1,000 harp will be a novelty. In addition to playing solos, Signor Setaro will be heard with the band and in concerted numbers with other soloists. Signor Giuseppe Creatore, the trombone soloist, is a wonder. He has a range greater than that of the human voice, and the quality of his tone rivals that of the greatest vocalist. The signor plays what Americans would call an old-fashioned instrument—a peculiarly shaped affair, of plain brass, constructed on the valve system. Slide trombones, such as are seen in American bands, have not been used in Italy for nearly forty years. The leader of this wonderful band is Signor Minoliti, and the tenor soloist and manager, Signor Ferruccio Giannini. After closing a successful nine weeks' engagement at Atlantic City the band made its first appearance at Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia, Saturday. July 28th. At their second appearance, on Sunday evening, the crowd was even greater than that of the previous evening. It will pay one to attend Gray's Armory either Monday or Tuesday evening and hear this wonderful Royal Marine Band of Italy. A matinee will be given on Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Scott and daughter were guests of her cousin, Mrs. Peterson, two weeks, recently.

NOTICE
MISS IDA PRETER, of Paris, Mo., writes the following: I have been using the Original OZONIZED OX MARROW for two months only and I am well pleased with it. I was so bald that I was ashamed of myself, to-day I have a thick growth of hair all over my head three inches long. When I am asked by people what I am doing for my hair that it is grown so beautifully I tell them it is the original Ozonized Ox Marrow that did the work.
Ozonized Ox Marrow (copyrighted) also makes curly or kinky hair straight, smooth and pliable. Prevents failing out and causes hair to grow. Warranted harmless. Only 50 cents. Sold by dealers. If your dealer cannot supply you we will send you express paid one bottle for 65 cents and address plainly to the OZONIZED OX MARROW CO. 80 Wabash Ave. Chicago.

DR. SHEA.
MARVELOUS MEDIUM.
Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rap all around the room. He asks no questions; don't ask you to write the names for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly enceased by teaching Spelling even received from them gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short what is best to do. He succeeds when all you need is the right kind of assistance or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now
Rich. Happy and Successful
in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited; the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex.
It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who have neither gifts, credence or wisdom. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder. the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder. the Hon. Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, ship builder. South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, the Chicago and Ludwigville. He understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or infirmities race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them.

"BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892. —This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger to you. I was out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause of all my troubles; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Shea. I would advise all in bad luck, sick or in trouble, to go to him at once. Surely, ALBERT AYERS, 2937 Atlantic avenue."
"BROOKLYN, Aug. 15, 1891--This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him night and day. I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now; came back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of £20. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to take my joy house joy did find it myself. Thank God I found me, gifted me, gifted me in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
American fountains have begun to be used in English drug stores. The term "lobster" was used in this country as early as 1775, as an indication of contempt. John Adams in his argument in defense of the British soldiers on trial for murder because of complicity in the "Boston massacre" refers to the name "lobster" as one of the epithets applied by the populace to the soldier.
After the death of George Washington his adopted son placed where the Wakefield house had stood a slab of stone commemorating the fact that hallowed the spot that was the birthplace of Washington. He commended the care of the modest memorial to the patriotism of his fellow countrymen. The stone long ago fell to pieces, but the government has erected a monument.
So universal was the custom of free entertainment that it was a law in Virginia that unless there had been a distinct agreement to pay for board and shelter, no pay could be collected from any guest, no matter how long he remained. In the few taverns that existed the prices were low, about a shilling a dinner; and it was ordered that the meal must be wholesome and good.
In the New Hebrides human life has been made safe by the introduction of pigs into the island. The cannibals are said to prefer roast pork to roast man, and as the porcine tribe increases among the natives they may give up their feasts on human flesh altogether, excepting when something unusual happens, such as entertaining a king of some other cannibal island or on state occasions of rare ceremony.
Photography by electric light has been made a complete success in New York. By forcing a current of 250 volts through lamps intended to sustain a voltage of only 80, a remarkably clear, white light was obtained, which experts pronounced to be practically equal to the rays of the sun, for photography. In the experiments which were given before a company of experts, there was suspended over the head of the sitter a structure resembling a large gray umbrella. Around the inner rim of the umbrella were placed 21 incandescent lights of 100-candle-power each. The light was modified by the use of the gray screens employed in photography. The resulting plates, which were shown by stereopticon, were singularly sharp in every detail and practically no different from sunlight pictures.
WORD THEY COULDN'T SPELL
School Director Stumped the Child dren by Asking Them About "Egg-Whipped."
In a near-by town that shall be nameless there is a school director who is gifted with great zeal. It is the reproach of school directors that they are generally chosen more for their political pull than scholastic knowledge, and it is rumored that the majority have had little acquaintance with a schoolhouse beyond the outside. This particular director appeared to be an exception to the rule. He was a frequent visitor to the schools in his district; questioned the teacher as to the progress of their pupils, made little speeches to the pupils, and in every way showed that he was no figurehead. But one day came his downfall, says the Chicago Tribune.
He had made his usual little speech, with its little jokes that children understand, and paid the usual compliments to the teacher, which teachers appreciate, and then he unfortunately undertook to air his own knowledge.
"Now, then," said he, "I am going to give you a word to spell. I suppose you are all good spellers?"
The children were unanimous on that point, and the teacher nodded approval.
"It's a word you ought to have seen many times," he continued, with a kindly smile, "but it's a pretty hard one to spell. Egg-whipped."
That is the way it sounded to the little pupils, and they evidently did not recognize it. Each looked at the other and there was silence, while the teacher appeared somewhat amazed. "Come, now," said the director. "That ought to be plain enough. You have seen it often in your geographies."
More silence, and then one voice piped up, timidly: "E-double-g, egg-whipt."
"O, no," said the director, shaking his head.
Another voice suggested "Egg-whipped," but the director shook his head again, this time sternly. The teacher exhibited more symptoms of amazement.
Silence again, and then the director said, kindly: "Well, I ain't so much surprised after all, because it's pretty hard. Now, I'll show you how to spell it, and I don't want you to ever forget it."
Then he walked to the blackboard and with a piece of chalk, amid breathless interest, printed in large letters:

A Peach Pudding.
A delicious peach pudding is made in this way: Fill a pudding dish with whole, peeled peaches, and pour over them two cups of water. Cover closely and bake until the peaches are tender; then drain off the juice from the peaches and let it stand till cool. Add to the juice one pint sweet milk, four well-beaten eggs, a small cup of flour, which has one teaspoonful of baking powder mixed in it, one cup sugar, one tablespoonful of melted butter and a little salt. Beat well and then pour this mixture over the peaches; bake until a rich brown ad serve with cream.—St. Louis Gobe-Democrat.
Chinese View of New Zealand.
A Chinese writer thus describes New Zealand: "The people live months without eating a mouthful of rice. They eat bullocks and sheep in enormous quantities, with knives and prongs. They never enjoy themselves by sitting quietly on their ancestors' graves, but jump around and kick balls."

CHINESE DRIED OYSTERS.
Prepared by Some Secret Process
They Are Said to be Very Good.
"A few days ago," said a New Orleans Bohemian, according to the Times-Democrat, "I dropped in to see my friend Lee Yip, who keeps what he calls a 'glocely stol,' which is as near as he can come to grocery store. He gave me an excellent cigar and presently he said: 'You likee dly ostel?' 'What in the name of Confucious is 'dly ostel?' I asked, before I realized that he was talking about dried oysters. 'Come! I show!' he replied; and, opening the lid of a big box, he took out a handful of what looked exactly like oysters carved in mahogany. They were not shriveled and warped, like other dried foods, but were as plump and symmetrical as any well conditioned bivalve fresh from the deep shell. The only difference was that they were dark brown in color and as hard as bricks. When Lee Yip tossed them back into the box they rattled like a handful of marbles. Of course I was greatly surprised, and before I left I took pains to find out all about them. The oysters are caught and prepared at the big native shrimperies on the other side of the lake. The process is a trade secret, but as nearly as I could gather from Lee they are spread on the tops of large sheds and exposed to the sun for several weeks. What prevents decomposition I do not know; but they come out of the operation as sweet and brown as nuts. Last night I tried some by special invitation in the back room of a laundry run by another Mongolian friend of mine. They were brought in in a bowl and formed a sort of stew or sauce, which was really delicious. The oysters themselves were firm, but exceedingly tender, and had a peculiar peppery flavor, different from anything else I have ever tasted. The Cinnaman who did the cooking told me he had simply boiled the dried oysters in water and added a small strip of pork and 'seasoning.' When I tried to probe into the seasoning feature he suddenly lost command of English, so there, I suspect, the secret resides. I am told that the local cotony consumes many barrels of these oysters every month, and that large quantities of them are sold in San Francisco and New York."
THEIR EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
Something of a Difference Between the Outlays of a Bishop and a Drummer.
At the Methodist general conference recently held in Chicago certain members, both lay and clerical, freely criticised the large expense accounts of some of the bishops, relates the Chicago Chronicle. They were charged with extravagance, and told that they had no right to live like princes while serving the Lord. Bishop McCabe has felt personally aggrieved by these criticisms, and has published a reply. He declares that his own annual traveling expenses average less than $350. The bishop's bill certainly looks modest. He states that a commercial traveler to whom he showed his account "laughed long and loud" and said: "The house for which I work allows me eight dollars a day for traveling expenses." This comparison unquestionably is most favorable to the bishop. One is reminded, however, that there are certain necessary items of heavy expenditure to the account of a successful drummer which are escaped by an itinerant bishop. If Bishop McCabe were obliged to treat his constituents as liberally and as frequently as the average commercial traveler he might find an allowance of eight dollars per day none too ample.
SUSPICIOUS LIBERALITY.
It Was a Questionable Ruse But Jones
Got His Wife Home in
"It was a mean trick," said Jones, with a smile, relates the Detroit Free Press, "but I wanted my wife to come home, and it was the only way I could think of to get her back. She went away about five weeks ago on a vacation and left me alone to get along as best I could. It wasn't long before I grew tired of the arrangement, tired of getting my meals downtown, tired of sending checks in reply to her demands for more money. Three days ago I received a letter asking me to send her $25 at once. It was then that my plan suggested itself. By return mail I sent her a check for double the amount that she had asked for, and inclosed it with a note that read: 'Don't hurry back.'
"It worked as I thought it would. My wife returned by the first train with a strange gleam of inquiry in her eyes and a set about her lips that bodes trouble for me if she confirms the horrible suspicions that she is laboring under. However, I have her at home, and I am not losing any sleep over what she may suspect."
A Reduction
"In your advertisement," said the man with the suave manner, as he entered the office of the ice company, "you say that there are no microbes on the ice that you furnish to your customers."
"Yes, sir," replied the treasurer, as he placed a blotter in front of his diamond stud so that the caller would not have to blink, "and we stand by our assertion."
"I stand by it, too," said the man with the suave manner, "and I have called to say that, as I have no fear of microbes, believing they are harmless, I wish you would direct your delivery man to leave at my residence in the future ice of such dimensions that two or three microbes, if they felt so inclined, could occupy it without unduly crowding each other."—Harper's Bazar.

THE HARDEST HEAD YET.
It Proved Too Tough to Kick as
Cheerful 'Rastus Found to
His Sorrow.
Cheerful 'Rastus hobbled painfully into
the office of the city physicians, supported
by two abbreviated broom handles, says the
Detroit Free Press.
"Well, 'Rassy, how is the limb to-day?"
inquired one of the young men in charge.
"Tol'ble, tol'ble," replied 'Rastus, grin-
ning like a new moon.
"Ah tell ye," he said, as the dressings were changed. "Ah'he heerd all kin's stories aboot coon's haids—how haw dey is an' how presumsshus it becomes er white man ter 'tempt ter break 'em—bom lem' tell ye, ye doan' know about it 'tel ye runs again de real ting.

But de reaction didn' do er t'ing but break three of my toes, an' dat's what Ah'm here fo'-ha! ha! ha! huh! huh."
And Cheerful 'Rastus, with the broken toes, laughed hilariously while the physician readjusted the plints.

NEBRASKA THE LAND OF PLENTY
NEBRASKA THE LAND OF PLENTY
I wonder why it is that so many men spend their days working hard on rented farms, barely making enough to get along, with no great prospect ahead of owning their own homes, when within a few hours' journey is a land of plenty Nebraska—where all kinds of grain and fruit can be raised with the least amount of labor; where cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a handsome profit; where the climate is healthful and churches and schools abound; where land is cheap and can be bought on very easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want information about the country send to me for "The Corn Belt," a beautifully illustrated monthly paper that tells all about Nebraska, and also for "The West Nebraska Grazing Country," an interesting illustrated booklet containing a large sectional map of Nebraska. On the first and third Tuesdays of each month during the balance of this year cheap excursion tickets will be sold over our road to Nebraska, so that people may go and see for themselves. Ask your ticket agent about this.

PETER
CLAIRVOYANT.
MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweet-heart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Claivoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear, honest manner and in an dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting.
Macaume is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some women no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, who is successful people who probably have been one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping businesses, and brought the spells to success. For advice by letter $1.00. All letters must contain stamps.
