The Gazette

THE OAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. There is no doubt in our mind but that the professional cyclists (white), or at least the leading ones such as Kramer, Cooper, Lawson and Kimble, have effected a combine, the effort of which is to keep "Major" Marshall Taylor, America's champion cyclist, from winning the same honor this year. His treatment thus far this season has been such as to leave no doubt of the correctness of our conclusion. American prejudice is more responsible for this than any other half dozen things. Taylor is an Afro-American. Editor King, of the Dallas (Tex.) Express, certainly has the correct idea, at least in our judgment, of the National Negro Business Men's league meeting. They are "gold-bricks." There is no doubt but that they do some good. The cost, however, is all out of proportion to the results. Let us concentrate our strength and means in the National Afro-American Council. That organization is accomplishing results in its fight against the disfranchise-ment laws of certain southern states which affect all of our people of this country along a citizens' rights line. If a newspaper statement going the rounds of the race press to the effect that Congressman George H. White has resigned the vice presidency of the National Afro-American Council because President Walters would not give away for him or the council elect him, is true, it is the best thing that could possibly happen to the organization. White has been carrying a "sore spot" ever since a few weeks prior to the Indianapolis meeting of the council over a year ago, because he could not get the presidency. If he has resigned and pulled away from the organization the same harmony that existed prior to his entrance will again reign supreme. We thought Congressman White too big a man to be so small over anything. BEN TILLMAN DEFENDING SOUTHERN CRIMES. Unscrupulous Ben Tillman has been mouthing again in the north and betrays the wretched state of affairs as they exist in South Carolina. As yet South Carolina seems to be dismembered territory owing no allegiance to the Republic. How this fellow canrant and rave against constitutional authority and be tolerated as a United States senator, is astounding indeed. This man masquerades around as a gentleman and a senator, yet in sheer ignorance of his calling, the stamps himself a common black-guard, hopelessly incompetent to represent the people of his state. The senate is embarrassed by his presence and South Carolina is lashed into shame by his folly. Vallandigham was never more blatant and disloyal in his time and yet Vallandigham was sent across the lines into Canada as a means of preserving peace and quietude at home. Ben Tillman is turbulent and incendiary and like a restless —— he hounds the Negro and barks at the heels of the nation. He says "All men are not created equal, and the Niggers are not fit to vote," Thomas Jefferson and the Scriptures to the contrary notwithstanding; yet one may be impressed from the hallucinations of this incessant babbler that he himself affords a living evidence of the truth that Tillman is of inferior birth, a subject not fit to vote nor worthy to represent the best white people of the south. He thanks God that there are no slaves to-day under the stars and stripes. But the declaration is false and hypocritical to the core, for if Tillman is sincere in his expressions of gratitude to God, why does he persist in forging the Negro chains of oppression? Why hound him all the day long and why refuse to allow him an equal chance for liberty and life? This bare contradiction is proof that Tillman is more concerned about the persecution and degradation of the Afro-American than he is about his well-doing and his elevation. But could he turn his attention more to those whom he terms southern scalawags and scoundrels leaving the Negro to shift for himself as best he can and devote his labors to the uplifting of that suffering class of his own kith and kin, and people of South Carolina might dare much better. The menaces and vaporings of Ben Tillman are a miscarriage of duty and a sad misfortune to the people of the south. What the south needs is wise counselors and true leaders who shall instill in the mind of the rising youth such lessons as shall fit and prepare them for grand and noble service to the state and nation. But Tillman is a failure because he is reckless, imprudent, erratic and unsafe as a leader. He is unwilling to believe this himself, because despite his narrow scope of thought he conceives that whatever doctrine he proclaims, it receives the universal sanction of the masses. In a manner at once inhuman and brutal, he defends moblaw and justifies crime on the ground that southern white women should not be asked to appear in court to testify against those whom they would accuse. He is willing that innocent men and women should have their lives jeopardized and suffer even death, but in supremest meanness of heart he would shield the blush of womanhood and let the state perish. It is not for the south for which Ben Tillman pleads—it is not for the cause of justice—it is not to make a nation strong and great. On the contrary, Tillman is the tool of a maddened brain and an inordinate ambition. He is emphatically a Tillman's man and beyond the desire to promote his aims, he has no higher aspirations.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: In today's Cleveland Leader under the head of "Program for G. A. R. Week" on page 5 is printed a list of campfires, and among them is the following: "Gray's Armory, Sept. 11.—Camp fire of Colored Veterans. Speakers: Preside. McKinley, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Gen. O. O. Howard, Governor Nash, Hon. T. E. Burton, Corporal Tanner. I am acquainted with all of these men except Charles W. Anderson and know that they are not "Colored Veterans." Has it ever occurred to you that the managers of the preparations for the encampment are treating the colored people very shabbily? If the colored veterans are to have a camp-fire it seems to me that the speakers ought to be mainly colored men. It seems to me that the object of the committee is to sidetrack the colored veterans so far as allowing them to have anything in common with their comrades. This encampment proposes to be a meeting of all veterans of the Civil War and they are supposed to meet upon a common level and mingle freely with each other. It is neither an encampment of white veterans nor of colored veterans but I am sorry to note the fact that in your city of Cleveland, where, if at any place, we would expect fair treatment, we have seen the color line drawn in all of the preparations. I see no colored men's names on the lists of any of the committees, but instead there is one and perhaps more colored committees. Why is this? Can the people of Cleveland explain? The veterans who propose to visit your city have certainly not asked that any such distinction be made. Very truly yours, Aide-de-camp on the staff of the Commander-in-Chief, G. A. R.; Past Commander, Hart Post, No. 134, and Past Junior Vice Commander, Department of Ohio, G. A. R. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The Afro-American population of the United States in 1900 was between 9,000,000 and 9,500,000. We constitute 11 8-10 per cent. of the total population. Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce University, and Postmaster Wilder, of Columbus, S. C., Afro-Americans, were refused two glasses of soda water at Ocean Grove, N. J., the first of last week. The Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American Ledger closed its ninth year with a recent issue. The Ledger is one of our most valued exchanges and we note with pleasure the many evidences of its success. Hon. H. C. Smith, of Cleveland, O., is one of the brightest and ablest men that the race has ever produced, and we predict that he will yet live to see the treacherous thieves and ingrates who betrayed him some day at his feet.—St. Louis (Mo.) Times. Twenty-six thousand more Afro-American children than whites attend school in South Carolina. A colored soldier, a veteran of the three wars who rose from the rank of private to that of a captain because of valor at San Juan Hill, remarks after returning from the War Department, "a colored soldier has little to expect from that building. White commissioned officers are not asked to go back and -enlist as privates, especially when they wear honor medals for bravery."—Washington (D. C.) Colored American. "Aunt" Clara Wilson died in Maryland a few days ago, aged 93. She lived with her former owners all her life, and died with them. They tenderly cared for her while she was feeble and in ill health, and buried her when she died. The funeral took place from the home of her former mistress, and the white minister spoke over her remains. He took for his text the words: "Well done good and faithful servant." The palebearers were all white. "Aunt" Clara had saved up about $6,000, which she left to her young "mistress." Clara Vannort (white). No wonder she was well taken care of. Elected Officers.

Stokers in big steamships work in an average temperature of from 160 to 180 degrees. It is estimated that the cost of the Sampson-Schley court of inquiry will be about $25,000. Only 9 per cent of the soldiers actually engaged in war are killed on the field of battle. The graduating lists of the American colleges this year show an increase of 25 per cent. Austrian shoemakers talk of violence if American retail shoe stores are opened in that country. Eleven thousand people are engaged in making lamp chimneys throughout the United States. Louisville has 99,531 males to 105,200 females, a feminine excess of 5,669 or practically six women to five men. St. Louis has a rooffless street car which seats about 128 passengers and which runs in the evening during the summer. Owing the the scarcity of grain cars in the west the Kansas farmers are experiencing difficulty in moving their wheat. Exports of horses and mules in Missouri last year brought a return of $9,000,000 and a great deal of money came from foreign countries. According to the London Telegraph the first doctor's degree ever bestowed upon a woman in Bohemia was obtained by Fraulein Dr. Gabot, at the Prague University. The world-famed Prince Edward of York diamond, one of the most precious stones ever found in the South African diamond fields, will be brought to America.

Hypnotism is scientifically studied in some of the French medical colleges. A writer in one of the scientific periodicals recommends walking backward as a cure for nervous headache. The oldest known weapon was the club. The clubs of the lake dwellers of Switzerland, studded with stones in default of nails, and thus making formidable weapons, have been recovered from their habitations. Dr. Charles Hose, of Sarawak, after many experiments has formed the theory that the disease beri beri arises in tropical regions from the consumption of moldy rice, Dr. Strangeways Pigg, of Cambridge, has expounded the theory in England. It is a curious fact that in 1790 the Turkish government prohibited the export of Angora kid skins on the ground that the trade threatened the extinction of the Angora goat; but these animals are now more numerous than ever, and their usefulness is far more widely recognized than was the case a century ago. Oil fuel was recently tried on the Yarrow torpedo boat Ophir. With coal alone the speed obtained was $24\frac{1}{2}$ knots, with coal and oil $26\frac{1}{2}$ knots an hour. Twenty-eight hundred pounds of coal and 700 pounds of oil an hour were used. With 500 pounds of oil alone a speed of 14 knots was easily obtained. Baron Benvenuto d'Alessandro, an Italian, has invented a means of checking the force of waves by means of nets of waterproof hemp. One recently tried with success at Havre was 360 feet long by 50 feet wide, with meshes 11 inches apart. The nets will break the waves at sea, and will also be a bulwark for hydraulic works against heavy surf. With all the efforts to get into the various bureaus of the government, it is a fact that for the $1,200 and $1,400 positions offered laboratory assistants at the national bureau of standards, the examination for which was to take place on July 6, not a single applicant appeared. The civil service commission is unable to account for this. This examination opened up two positions with excellent salaries to young scientists and the lack of interest cannot be accounted for. FROG LIKED A MEAT DIET. When in a Man's Stomach He Devoured Immense Quantities of It, Says This Account. One man whose stomach, and not his throat, has been for several years the habitation of a frog, is one of the curiosities of Dock Watch Hollow, a hamlet nestling among the Watching mountains, about five miles from Bound Brook, N. J., says a New York exchange. Edward Blazier, a farmer, has been ailing for some time and his symptoms have baffled the skill of physicians of his vicinity, who one by one gave up the case as incurable. Notwithstanding the fact that he was unable to work and was slowly wasting away, Blazier was the possessor of a ravenous appetite, being particularly fond of meat. When Dr. Fred A. Wild, of Bound Brook, took up Blazer's case two weeks ago he proceeded to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the symptoms. When questioned Blazer said that he suffered pains in the region of his stomach and occasionally experienced a sensation is if something animated was moving about. Further questioning brought out the fact that the family were in the habit of using water from a near-by spring for drinking purposes. This information confirmed Dr. Wild in his belief and he urged an operation which was performed the other day, when the doctor removed from the patient's stomach a full-grown bullfrog more than five inches long. When taken out the animal was dead, having been killed during the operation. It was similar to ordinary frogs, except that examination showed that it never had the use of its eyes. Blazier is now on the road to recovery and is the center of attraction for all that neighborhood. He now recalls a circumstance which happened about five years ago when his wife was ill. He had gone to the spring to fetch her a drink, and while there took one himself. When he returned to the house he complained of having swallowed something of a foreign nature, although he did not know what it was. He is convinced that at that time he swallowed a tadpole, which in the course of nature became a frog, undergoing the different changes within his stomach. Old Nick A story is told of a shrewish Scotch woman who tried to wean her husband from the dramshop by employing her brother to act the part of a ghost and frighten John on his way home. "Who are you?" asked the farmer, as the apparition rose before him from behind a bush. "I am Auld Nick," was the reply. I am Aud Nick, was the reply. "Are you, really?" exclaimed the old reprobate, with much satisfaction instead of terror. "Mon, come awa'. Gie's a shake o' your hand. I am married to a sister o' yours!"—Detroit Free Press. Spiced Nut Cakes Gream half a cupful of butter with one cupful of sugar; add the yolks of two eggs, well beaten, and one cupful of milk. Sift $2\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls of flour with one teaspoonful each of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and half a teaspoonful of salt. Add to the other ingredients, and lastly add the stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Bake in small scallop pans or in gem pans.—Ladies' World, New York. Bever Preserved in Brazil Pears Preserved in English Style. Pare six pounds of pears, leaving them whole, and put them to simmer in a granite pan with two cupfuls of hot water. When you can pierce them with a straw, lift into a large jar or bean pot, cover with $4\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of sugar; add half a candied lemon peel cut in strips, 12 cloves and two pieces of ginger root. Cover and put to cook for two hours in a moderate oven. Seal hot in jars.—Good Housekeeping. The United Aid andBeneficial League is the strongest organization in the world owned and operated by colored people, being capitalized in the sum of $100,000.00.

The color-line in the encampment committee of the G. A. R. at Cleveland seems to give Editor Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, no small amount of dissatisfaction, and rightly too.

The Cleveland (O.) Gazette is the best Afro-American paper in the Middle West. Its heroic efforts for humanity as against oppression have won for it the respect of the world. It is now 18 years of age. May many years yet be spared to it to push its righteous cause.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. The knifing of Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, occasioned great surprise to the people of this country, as well as grief and indignation among those of us still capable of feeling and uttering manly sentiments. His career in the halls of legislation has been replete with effort towards the betterment of our racial condition. He has many enemies among the would-be "leaders" of our people, but in spite of the jealousy and envy he has nobly held his own, and those responsible for the present attempt to relegate this brainy young man to the rear will suffer for their despicable machinations.—Cincinnati Brotherhood. Winter is coming and you will want The Gazette to come into your home every week. Why not subscribe for a year now? The Cleveland Protestant Orphan asylum, 1460 St. Clair street, has a very light colored baby boy, four months old, exceptionally nice, a little boy nearly five years old, quite light; a baby girl eight months old, rather dark, for whom good homes are desired.

Macamie 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 people seem to have good luck all the time, and 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, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to 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 contact your trouble as soon as you tell your trouble in as she understands the spells and evil influences.

Not here! not here; not where the sparkling waters Fade into mocking sands as we draw near; Where in the wilderness each footstep falters— I shall be satisfied; but oh! not here! Not here—where every dream of bliss deceives us, Where the worn spirit never gains its goal. There is a land where every pulse is thrilling With rapture earth's sojourners may not know, Where Heaven's repose the weary heart is stilling And peacefully life's time-tossed currents flow. And of its bliss is naught more wondrous told us Than these few words: "I shall be satisfied." Satisfied? Satisfied? The spirit's yearning For sweet companionship with kindred minds— The silent love that here meets no return- ing— The inspiration which no language finds. Shall they be satisfied? The soul's vague longings— The aching void which nothing earthly fills? Oh! what desires upon my soul are thronging As I look upward to the heavenly hills. Thither my weak and weary steps are tending. Saviour and Lord! with Thy frail child abide! Guide me toward home, where, all my wanerings ending, I then shall see Thee and be satisfied. -Distant Lamps. The Minister's Rescue By Ethel M. Colson. (Copyright, 1901, by Authors Syndicate.) THE Little Minister" everybody on board the Lucretia called him inevitably; he was so very little and so obviously a minister. And everybody, before the Lucretia was three days out from Liverpool, was gossiping about the little minister's devotion to one of the women passengers—the woman with darkened eyebrows and hair a thought too golden. Everybody would have gossiped still more had everybody heard and understood the whispered words which aroused the curiosity and wonder of the head stewardness on the evening when the little minister set everybody agog by escorting the yellow-haired woman down to the very door of her state-room. "Courage! Courage! Do not despair!" was the half-comprehended ejaculation with which he bade her adieu. And everybody, again, would have been nearly frantic with excitement had the manner in which the two became acquainted been publicly known. The yellow-haired woman was leaning over the rail of the promenade deck, well forward, upon the second day of the voyage, when the little minister, who had been watching her keenly from his unobserved seat behind a music room porthole, strolled easily to her side. "I wouldn't! Don't think of it," he said, softly. "It really wouldn't be worth while. Pluck up heart and take courage. Your present sorrow will be over in a lifetime, anyway; you'll be sorry for all eternity if you jump overboard, poor child." "Why do you speak to me like this?" cried the woman, turning wide, desperate eyes on his kindly face. "Because I, too, have been very close to despair," he made gentle answer, "and, perhaps, with far less reason than you have. I have known despair for my own sins rather than the sins of others. You have sinned, also doubtless, but you have been sinned against as well." For a moment the woman looked as though she would kill him. Then, suddenly, she laid her weary head down on the rail, and he could feel, rather than see, that she was sobbing. Presently he stepped a little nearer, and, affecting to be deeply interested in the tossing water, spoke to her again, in a very low tone. "Don't give way here—and now," he exhorted, tenderly. "Others are watching us; you don't want to attract attention. Bear up a little longer; you have been silent so long, I am sure. Let them think you are ill—it is only natural. Steward!" to the blue-jacketed functionary of the lower deck, "some hot beef-tea for this lady, immediately." "Let me give you my arm to the upper deck," he suggested, when, the beef-tea having been absorbed in a sheltered corner, the task of screening her from the inquisitive glances of casual deck-strollers became a little difficult. And there on the upper deck—which was altogether too exposed and too windy to be anything but deserted—the yellow-haired woman related her story. She was moved thereto partly by the knowledge of his cloth and his fatherly manner, partly because she looked through the clergyman, and saw that he was a man and a gentleman as well; more than all, perhaps, because she had reached the point where she could no longer contain the guilt-burdened misery from which a womanly listener might have shrunk with repellant disgust. It was a pitiful story, more pitiful, even, than the teller of it realized. A desolate child, fatherless, motherless, she had never known a real home or affection. Tossed and buffeted from one unwilling, unloving relative to another, she had flouted them all, at 18, to fall in love with a man many years her senior, and who had never borne a good name. She had gone through the preliminary punishment of the lost in order to be true to him, in his absence. When, a year after he had bidden her good by until "I can come back and marry you," he had sent her money and directions to cross the ocean and become his wife in Liverpool, she had sacrificed her all, deeming it no sacrifice, but a joyous privilege, to obey him. Two years later, inflamed with the fire of a new passion, he had offered her a goodly sum of money to sign an agreement protecting him from any future de- --- mands or embarrassments, and leaving him free to marry the woman of his later choice as he had promised—untruthfully—to marry her. Stung to the quick of the sensitive nature which had lately known love for the first time, all but maddened, desperate, she had left him—but without taking the money. Now, another year later, she was using the proceeds of 12 months of hard work and semi-dissipation to go back to America. The slow passing of the long 14-days' voyage, desirable for financial reasons, had left her time for the bitter thinking and forecasting so long deferred. The Giant Despair had her fast in his iron, relentless clutches when the little minister had interfered. He heard her through in silence—the sympathetic, comprehensive silence so rich in balm and cheer. He, too, had been lonely; he was returning now from the journey undertaken to bid his last living relative a long good-by. His was a nature, also, which, while it could never know real wickedness, suffered much because of fancied sins against God and man. Since the fancy, as now happened, taught him great sympathy and skill in dealing with other—and greater—sinners it was not, perhaps, without its uses. The yellow-haired woman realized the supposed and actual character of the fancy intuitively; but the knowledge that he believed himself a sore sinner was as indefinably comforting as his wise silence. Day after day the little minister cheered, strengthened and encouraged her, heroically regardless of the meaning glances cast toward them by women whose hair was not yellow, and by men who considered facetious speeches concerning flirtatious parsons and the latitude of the cloth; day after day he induced her to postpone further compact with the Giant Despair at least until she had made effort a little longer. And all went well until the afternoon when he was powerless to fight the recurring battle with her because of the determined companionship and questioning of the ascetic maiden lady who wanted his views upon the Athanasian creed question—and also to talk about the yellow-haired woman. The little minister, whose gentlemanly instinct never allowed him to discuss one woman with another, found anxiety dispossessing his patient and polite boredom as he noticed that the yellow-haired woman was leaning through instead of over the rail. But before he could carry out his swiftly formed resolution to go to her immediately there was the flash of a falling figure, a sudden commotion—and he realized that the long-dreaded circumstance had come to pass. He was in the water almost as soon as she was. Three other men made themselves ready, but were a trifle slower, for various reasons. Before they reached the rail the little minister had caught hold of the yellow-haired woman—who struggled and fought him wildly. "Don't save me," she gasped, moaningly. "I can't help struggling, but I don't want to be saved. Please, please let me drown!" For all-answer he slipped a hand under the little, round, delicate chin which told such a clear story of the weakness which loves and finds it hard to resist temptation, pushed her at arms'-length from him, and swam as strongly as he might until a rope came to him over the stern of the ship. First she was drawn on board safely, then he followed and was hurried downstairs for brandy and hard rubbing. Almost before the two combined brought warmth and vitality back to the limbs which were so insignificantly weak and unfitted to contain the mighty spirit which upheld them a message came to his stateroom. The yellow-haired woman hoped he had not been injured in coming to her rescue; she would like to see him to say "Thank you," whenever he should feel inclined to leave his berth. She herself had been commanded by the surgeon to remain motionless for some hours. When the aisles and staterooms had been emptied by the dinner-gong the little minister traversed the former and stood at the side of the yellow-haired woman—pathetically weak and young-looking in her physical weakness and spiritual abasement. At sight of him she broke into sobbing, regardless of the now sympathetic stewardess, who considerately slipped from the room. "Why did you save me?" she asked him, still weeping. "You knew I wanted to die. I want to die now, as God hears me, although I have learned this evening just how sweet it would be to go on living—if one only had a chance to start over." And then it was that the soul of the man and the gentleman stood up in the eyes of the preacher, and the divine instinct which had healed so many sins and sorrows failed not the little minister, even though the remedy required was unusual. "I, too, learned something while down in the water," he said, with the hesitating precision of one who recites a lesson but hastily learned. "I learned that my life will never be quite perfect, never quite what it should be, unless you consent to become part of it, my—my dear. Will you"—his manner as reverential as though she had been the most conventional of conventional "good women,"—"honor me by promising to become my wife?" The hope and the wonder which flashed out in her face transformed and transfigured it; but the glory died out a moment later. "You are only saying this for charity's sake, to save me, to give me another chance," she told him. "No," answered the little minister, with quiet tenderness and gentle determination. "you are quite, quite mistaken, my—my dear. I am saying it because I love you." And the good God, hearing these words of nobility and resurrection, looked upon them with favor—and made them true.

Kent, a farmer of Bloomfield, N. J., had an exciting fight with a big blacksnake back of his stable the other afternoon. Mr. Kent's bulldog discover the reptile coiled up near a woodpile and the dog's barking attracted the attention of Mr. Kent, who armed himself with a pitchfork and tried to capture the snake alive. The serpent suddenly coiled itself about Kent's leg and gave it a squeeze. The leg is black and blue and much swollen in consequence. Mr. Kent managed to break its hold and throw it from him. The dog tried to grab the snake by the tail, but received a blow across the face which sent it howling to the house. The snake made several efforts to coil itself about Mr. Kent's body, but he managed to keep it out of the way and finally struck the reptile with the handle of a pitchfork and broke its back. The snake was seven feet long and as large around as a man's wrist. Operation on an Elephant. A difficult operation was performed the other day at the zoological gardens at Hanover, England. An elephant was suffering great pain from a growth on the lower part of one of his hind feet, and it was deemed necessary to cut this malformation away. In order to render the animal insensible a dose of 600 grains of morphia in six bottles of rum was administered. This dose took about an hour before any visible effect was produced. The elephant fell over in a kind of sleep, and the operation was successfully carried out without any further ado. The operation lasted three hours.—N. Y. World. Lockstep Is Thing of Past. The lockstep has been abandoned at the bridewell. Superintendent Sloan has issued orders to that effect, and the old-time form of penal degradation is now a thing of the past. The prisoners will in the future walk two paces apart, with their heads erect and hands by their sides, keeping step. The abolition of the lockstep has been advocated by prison reformers for years. They argue that prisoners cannot break themselves of the gait when they leave the jails, and that they are branded for life by the step.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

"He can feed himself without hands: he can write his name; he can thread a needle; he can paint a picture, and he can whittle." The girl drew a long sigh and said: "Yes, it is astonishing!"
