The Gazette

THE GAZETTE 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. Our minister to Hayti, the Hon. W. F. Powell, of New Jersey, a gentleman of education and ability, has reflected credit upon our people, the government and himself as a result of the very able manner in which he has represented this country during the past four years. We therefore fail to see the wisdom of "booming" any member of the race for the place he holds. Mr. Powell is at least entitled to a second term. We are as desirous as any of our contemporaries that our good friend, Editor Timothy Thomas Fortune, of the New York Age, be recognized by the Roosevelt administration, but feel as a matter of fairness and justice that he should be "boomed" for something else, if "boomed" at all. George R. Koester, appointed internal revenue collector of South Carolina some time ago by President Roosevelt, according to leading South Carolina daily newspapers, is a self-confessed lyncher—a lawbreaker! It is but fair to presume that the president did not know this when he appointed him. He doubtless knows the facts in the case by this time and ought to, as promptly as possible, withdraw the nomination. In event that he fails to do so, however, the United States senate should refuse to confirm Koester's appointment. A republican president and senate cannot afford to place such approval upon lawlessness and murder. Not only is this demanded by Afro-Americans, but also by every law-abiding citizen in this country. It is a sad reflection upon the government and country that such an individual could possibly hold office for a day, to say nothing of several months. George R. Koester, as collector of internal revenue for the state of South Carolina, must go, and promptly, too, now that the senate is again in session. We trust, however, that the president will withdraw the nomination. CENSUS DIRECTOR MERRIAM MISLEADING ON SUFFRAGE. Though somewhat evasive, Mr. Merriam undertakes to show that the disfranchisement of the Negro in the south is justifiable. The responsibility resting upon each individual of this republic leaves to us the inquiry: "Is the disfranchisement of the whites in the south justifiable?" The white people of the south carry the responsibility of looking after their individual duties and the welfare of the state and the government. Governments are instituted for the good of the people, and it is right that the southern white people should be allowed the freedom of those privileges that they might foster and guard those interests best calculated to preserve intact the welfare of a wise and just government. Suffrage guarantees these privileges and suffrage secures these interests in furtherance of a safe and impartial government. Our people of the south constitute a part and parcel of the common government. They, like the southern whites, have individual duties imposed upon them and they are in every respect equally responsible to the administrators of the law and the government for the peace, the happiness and the well-being of the social compact. All are mutually concerned and all are mutually responsible for the peace, the happiness and the stability and perpetuity of the real source of all our blessings. It would be wrong for the law-making power to withhold the right of suffrage from those giving aid and support to the government. It would be wrong to proscribe the white man affording such aid. It would be wrong to disfranchise a poor white man because he is poor. It would be wrong to refuse him the right of a ballot because his father was a Jew or his mother a Catholic, and it would be absolutely and wickedly wrong to punish and disfranchise any man on account of that which he cannot and could not help. The Afro-American contributes largely to the support of this government. He is engaged in all the avenues and pursuits in which the white man is engaged. He constitutes the labor element of the country and in the north as well as in the south, he is relieving the people of those burdens and hardships incident to the hard condition of the masses. Since this is true, it is unjust to discriminate against a citizen of color, it is basest cowardice, an unpardonable crime against all that Americans profess as a Christian people. But religious duty ex-Gov. William R. Mer- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1902. riam holds that it is just for the southern white people to deny the right of suffrage to a man because of his color. The south insists upon the disfranchisement of the Negro without such qualifications as Connecticut and California demand, affording no parallel with the case in hand. The director proves himself a rather poor logician inasmuch as the argument he makes is against his own proposition. California never favored a reduced representation, notwithstanding this position is assumed by the director on behalf of the south, making the act necessary as is required under the constitution. The Chinese of California have never been enfranchised, hence it is illogical and unfair for Mr. Merriam to argue for and against a reduced representation at the same time. Our people of the south are lawful voters under the federal constitution, and it remains with congress to rectify as far as possible the injustice done that element disfranchised contrary to law. If the Afro-American had never been made a legal voter it would be a matter for which the race would have to contend. But in the face of a high handed outrage perpetrated upon them in robbing them of that which is theirs by law, it becomes them to unveil the iniquity and to expose the infamy of a crime most perfidious and unpardonable and so deserving of rebuke. THAT SOUTHERN POLICY. President Roosevelt seems to be carrying out with a vengeance, in Mississippi, that new southern policy born under the McKinley administration. In the last ten days he has appointed Democrats to two of the most important federal positions in that state upon the recommendation of Mississippi's Democratic senators; has deposed that veteran leader and member of the "Old Guard," the Hon. James Hill, and appointed a white man to replace him as register of the land office at Jackson. For years Mr. Hill has been the republican leader of the state and was national republican committeeman, until deposed by the Hanna-McKinley power at the last national republican convention held in Philadelphia. Instead of giving all of these places to Afro-Americans, as he should have done, the president gave but one—that of receiver of public moneys at Jackson. This was given to Mayor Isaiah T. Montgomery, of Mound Bayou (a town populated by Afro-Americans), the only Afro-American member of the late Mississippi constitutional convention—a man who supported the new constitution in spite of the fact that it disfranchised the great majority of the Afro-Americans of his state. Just at present in the south, republicans, black and white, of long years' standing, men who have been "bearing the burden in the heat of the day," are "turned down cold, and Democrats appointed to the best positions, and, too, by an administration elected by the black and white republicans of the north. That new southern policy, if persisted in much longer, will cause a greater or less disintegration of the republican party at the north. It is bound to do so. Republicans of this section will never become reconciled to the election of republican presidents who give a majority of the best federal positions at the south to democrats. The intelligent northern Afro-American will be the first to "strike back" as a result of this sort of thing. Mark our prediction. BOOKER WASHINGTON LEC-TURES.

He was defeated for the fiftieth congress, so that from 1887 to 1889 there was no man in either house of his race. Beginning with the fifty-first congress five colored men have served as members to the present time; John M. Langston, of Virginia, and Thomas E. Miller, of South Carolina, in the fifty first, Henry P. Cheatham, of North Carolina, in the fifty-first and fifty-second; George W. Murray, of South Carolina, in the fifty-third and fifty-fourth, and George H. White, of North Carolina, in the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth. Langston, educated at Oberlin, a lawyer of ability and a fine orator, won the respect of all men for the independence of his thought and action. Miller, educated at Lincoln university, was a member of the South Carolina constitutional convention of 1890, and is now the president of the Colored Normal, Industrial, Agricultural and Mechanical college of that state. Cheatham, educated at Shaw university, until recently was recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Murray, who is a large and successful farmer, is also deputy collector of the port at Charleston, S. C., and White, educated at Harvard university, is practicing law in Washington. [Note.—Ex-Gov. P.

Columbia Desk Calendar for 1902. This calendar has been a fixture in many business offices and homes for many years, its great popularity being largely due to the thoroughness with which it serves its purpose as a memorandum device. It is a most convenient repository of things to be remembered and at the same time possesses all the requisite features of an almanac for every-day use. The printed part, as in former years, largely consists of voluntary contributions from bicycle riders of nearly every country in the world. The new edition is very handsomely printed and mounted on a steel holder, whereby the calendar can be hung in any convenient location or placed at any desired angle on the disk. Copies may be obtained by sending ten cents in postage to the Am. Bicycle Co., Columbia Factory, Hartford, Conn. KLONDIKE AND ALASKA. A Bunch of News from the Gold Fields of the Far North. Port Townsend, Wash., Jan. 16. The latest advices from Dawson were brought yesterday on the Cottage City by Charles Berryman, who left the Klondike capital the latter part of December. Berryman says there is a stampede from Dawson for Henderson creek, near Stewart river. He reports that several thousand men are on the creek and all claims have been staked. During the winter the gambling element in Dawson has resorted to all kinds of schemes to induce the authorities to permit the opening of gambling, without success. Preliminary work has been commenced on one of the largest and longest mining tunnels in the world near Juneau, Alaska. The tunnel will be more than 8,000 feet long and will be started on the beach south of Juneau and run into the mountains to tap a large number of claims in the Silver Bow basin. A large mill will be built on the beach where it can be operated the year round. It is said that the tunnel will cost in the neighborhood of $2,000,000.

West, of Cincinnati, were arrested across the river Wednesday morning, charged with robbing the trunk of T. E. Manners, of Chicago, of about $2,500 of jewelry. They are alleged to have represented themselves as Manners and another guest, at the St. Charles, paid the bills, and left with their baggage. They crossed the river in a skiff and were caught before the train came on which they expected to leave, through the watchfulness of a newsboy who had read the story in the newspapers. Later in the day Manners went over to identify the property and Kline accused him of being a thief under an ulias. As the whole affair had a suspicious appearance Manners was also arrested. The police believe he may be Kerns, the New York jewelry thief, and Chief of Detectives Titus, of New York, sent a telegram here which strengthens the idea. Manners claims that he is with his father in the pawn brokerage business at Chicago, and that the jewelry taken was unredeemed pledges that he was trying to dispose of. Fifty diamond pins, a gold watch, a diamond brooch and some pearls are in the lot. New York, Jan. 16.—Capt. Titus, of the detective bureau, said late last night that he had received dispatches from New Orleans which said that a man believed to be the missing valet Kerns, who is accused of having robbed Paul G. Thebaud, of $50,000 worth of jewelry here, was under arrest there. He added that he had received a detailed description of the man under arrest and that he believed him to be Kerns. He said the description tallied very closely, even to the gold tooth Kerns had. He said steps would be taken looking FREE FROM ALL INJURIOUS CHEMICALS, GUARANTEED PERFECTLY HARMLESS.

Three Negroes Killed and Seven Badly Injured by a Dynamite Explosion. Williamsport, Pa., Jan. 15.—A dispatch from Kartbaus, Clearfield county, says: Three negroes were blown to pieces and seven others hurt in a dynamite explosion Tuesday morning. The explosion occurred in one of the shanties occupied by negro laborers employed on the new West Branch railroad. Shortly before 3 o'clock several of the negroes who were to go to work in a new tunnel began thawing dynamite at a wood stove. About a dozen other negroes were still asleep in the shanty. The dynamite exploded and three negroes were literally blown to pieces. The sleeping negroes were thrown from their beds and seven of them sustained injuries which, in some cases, will probably prove fatal. Kitchener Will Build Railroads.

Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 16.—Sheriff Frank Smith and his deputy, George Beck, were killed by highwaymen early Wednesday morning in the vicinity of Anadarko, the home of the officers. A posse of 100 men started immediately on the trail of the murderers, but no arrests have been reported. The posse expects a fierce fight before the men shall be taken, and it is known that the notorious highwaymen, Bob McCune, Ben Cravens and Bob Sims, are at the head of the gang in that region Sheriff Smith was appointed from Norman, Okla., where he had been on the sheriff's and marshal's forces for a number of years. A number of murders and robberies are charged to the gang that murdered the officers and efforts to capture them have been made by all the officers in that vicinity. Sheriff Smith and Deputy Beck met death while storming an Indian hut eight miles west of Anadarko. Highwaymen on Sunday night had held up and robbed persons going home from church and Smith and Beck, accompanied by Deputy Briggs, located the robbers early yesterday morning in the hut. In attempting to enter Smith was shot through the breast and died in a few minutes. Beck was also shot through the breast and his left arm was shattered. Briggs was not injured.

Marisigan, who, with Maj. Cabrera and a renegade priest named Castilla, gave themselves up, January 10, to Gen. Bell, who is conducting the campaign against the insurgents in Batangas province, occurred Monday at Taal. The insurgents created a surprise by bringing in 60 more rifles than the authorities thought Marisigan could command in the district of Taal, which he controlled. The Filipinos who surrendered included three colonels, one major, five captains and 12 lieutenants. They gave up 219 rifles and one cannon. All the insurgents who surrendered did so unconditionally. Gen. Bell ordered the men to be released. Col. Marisigan says he can prevail on many more men to surrender during the next few days, and also obtain possession of a number of additional rifles. Marisigan, the colonel, was a leader of importance under the insurgent general, Malvar, operating in the western part of Batangas. That section is reported now to be practically clear of hostile forces. An Order for 1,800 Cars.

Stewart and Eddie Turner. Mr. and Mrs. Shook are most charming host and hostess, and all present spent a most delightful time. In explanation of the peculiar conduct of Assistant Turnkey Gordon referred to in our last issue, Sheriff Barry said to a representative of The Gazette that Gordon's refusal to permit the young lady to see her relative was based upon the fact that a number of the inmates, including the one she desired to see, had been removed to a lower corridor, as punishment for some slight infraction of jail rules and regulations. However, The Gazette representative was left with the impression by the sheriff that in spite of this there was no good reason why her request to see her relative should not have been granted promptly and before he was appealed to. The Afro-Americans of the Fifth councilmanic district are casting about for a good race candidate for the council, as one must be nominated and elected this spring. The Germans, the Irish, the Jews and about every other nationality in the republican party of that district have in the past been represented in that body and is high time that our people's turn should come. The large Afro-American population in the district is entitled to the recognition, especially as under the McKinley administration our people of this city were practically ignored when the many federal appointments were made during the past five years. The Fifth district has the largest Afro-American population of any of the districts in the city.

Although Miss Irving was not successful, how well she succeeded can be learned from the following article, which also appeared in the paper: "There were hundreds of fine advertisements received, etc. We mention herewith a few of the many that were especially meritorious and the judges found it necessary to carefully examine these several times." Then follow a list of the names of 17 or 18 contestants, among which appeared Miss Irving's. We are glad to know that "of the hundreds of fine advertisements received by the paper referred to," one of our young ladies sent in one of the "especially meritorious." Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bailey, of 28 Brooker avenue, entertained at dinner Sunday in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Nickens and family and Mr. Rome Smith and family. Mr. Walter Brown left Wednesday night for Columbus, called by telegram sent by Mayor Johnson. He will receive a position of some kind, it is said. Miss A. B. Chives, who has been so ill, is much improved. Miss Frances Collins, of Marion, is the guest of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sanders, of York street, West Side. Rev. E. S. Doan gave the members of St. Andrew's mission, on Central avenue, a good, plain, sensible talk on last Sunday afternoon. It was needed, too, judging from the rumors flying about. The mission had better keep Rev. Doan just as long as it can. Mr. C. L. Lacy has been with the Sigler Brothers Co. for 19 years. It would be advisable for his people to call upon him when in need of watches, rings, diamonds and anything in the jewelry line. The time has come when our people should patronize their own, and Mr. Lacy has stood firm for the period above mentioned and is not only representing himself as a true man, but his race. The proper time to call upon him, so he can give you his whole attention, is from 2 p. m. to 10:30 p. m. Encourage him and benefit yourself. Mrs. Mina Harris, of No. 827 Logan avenue, who has been ill for several weeks, is rapidly improving. Mr. Thomas Gayters, Miss Nancy Gayters, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Taborn, of Oberlin; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Robinson and the twins, Fred and Fredonia, of Youngstown, visited Mrs. Mina Harris during the holidays. It is said that it was a tie between Miss Eva Daw, Miss Bessie Wilson, Miss Marie Taylor and Miss Johnson, of Bath, N. Y., as to which young lady was the belle of the Bachelor club's entertainment recently. Ask Frank Perkins. Mr. J. Gerald Tyler, of Oberlin conservatory, assisted by local talent, will give a piano recital in Woodliff hall Monday evening, February 17. Johnson's favorite Hollenden orchestra will be present. Watch for further particulars. Mrs. E. Lucas, of Forest street, visited relatives in Columbus recently. At the prize waltz party at Woodliff hall the first prize ($5) and second prize ($1.00) were won by Mr. Hawkshaw and Robt. Bush and ladies, respectively. At St. John's church revival meetings are being held. Preaching tomorrow by Mrs. Ferguson, tue evangelist. Sunday-school at 2:30 p. m. Miss Catherine Cochran, of Harrisburg, Va., is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Jefferson, of Mayflower street. Mrs. Mamie Adkins-Nickens returned Wednesday from Indianapolis, where she was the guest of her uncle, Rev. Robert Hurley. It is currently rumored that Simmons & Bass, proprietors of the popular pool and billiard and bowling alley on Vincent street, are negotiating for the purchase of the "Z" club, with a view of consolidating it with either their Vincent street or Central avenue business. Joe and Bob are very popular and have deservedly met with splendid success. What has become of the Ministers' Union? Some time ago it was quite active and inclined to be aggressive. There is a tremendous field for work in this city for the organization. OFFICERS ELECTED. Social Doings—Rev. Lewis's Splended Present—Personal Notes, Etc. Mansfield, O.—Mr. and Mrs. Thos. P.

FOR NEW EQUIPMENT. Spend $13,000,000 This Year. Chicago, Jan. 16.—The Record-Herald says: The management of the Santa Fe has decided to spend $13,-000,000 for equipment during the present year. This statement is made by an official of the company, who added that the money would come from the proceeds of a new issue of $30,000,000 of bonds. Just how the expenditure is to be apportioned is not stated, but it is known that an order has been given for 5,000 box cars, 50 mammoth freight engines and 100 more engines of a smaller type, and that practically all of the passenger equipment of the company is to be renewed. The official statement regarding the amount to be expended for equipment makes it plain what is to be done with the proceeds of the bond issue. It will take fully $12,000,-000 to give the company over 800 miles of new line free from debt. This sum and the equipment appropriation taken from $30,000,000 leaves $6,000,000. Of this amount fully $2,000,000 will go toward the new terminals in San Francisco and the rest will be used for grade reductions, etc. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1902. DREAM CAUSED A MURDER. An Aged Woman the Innocent Means of Her Son's Death. Richmond, Va.—The first intimation that Henderson Walker's family had of his death was when his body reached his old home at Boydton on the 10th. He was the son of a respected family and was honorably discharged from the army a few weeks ago. He found Mary Boyd, a girl from his old neighborhood, at Newark, N. J., and lived with her there. Walker's mother, at Boydton, dreamed that her son's body was brought home to her in a coffin. In fear she wrote to him at Newark, telling him of her dream and asking him to hurry home. Mary Boyd got hold of this letter before he saw it and, believing from its contents that he meant to desert her, she procured a hatchet and while he slept buried it in his brain five times. A few years ago Mrs. Walker dreamed that another son, who was away at work, would be drowned and his dead body brought home to her. The circumstances have made a profound impression in the entire town of Boydton, where all the persons are well known. A Lecture on Vibrons A Lecture on Europe.

Porter, of New Brighton, Pa.—Miss Rhoda Holmes attended the K. of P. banquet and visited her parents in Youngstown on the 16th.—Mr. Frank Thomas has gone to Youngstown, and Mr. Harry Norris to Pittsburgh.—Prof. Edwards, of Washington, will lecture on "Europe as Seen by a Negro," at one or our local churches in the near future.—Mrs. J. Smith and children and Mrs. Preston Smith have been ill.—D. M. Smith is better.—Rev. G. F. Eaton is recovering.—Mr. Brooks, of Pittsburg, has located here.—Messrs. Geo. Keyes and Geo. White drove to Lisbon on January 12 to see their lady friends.—Mr. R. Blackburn, and Mr. Lovett have gone to Rochester.—A "raglin ball" will be give at Turner hall on the 21st for Harry Mason's benefit.—Miss S. Harvey has returned from the country. J. H. Sampson Dead. Ravenna, O.—J. H. Sampson died Sunday morning. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. D. B. Bogess, and five grandchildren. Those from out of town attending the funeral were: Miss Eva Powell, niece of the deceased; Mrs. Russell, of Alliance; Mrs. L. Fields, of Warren; Mrs. Hawlinsworth, of Cuyahoga Falls; Mrs. F. B. Lancaster and son, Emery, of Akron. The following were pall-bearers: Messrs. T. B. Byrd, J. H. Coleman, A. La Count, J. Proctor, J. Kelly and R. McDowell. The interment was at Maple Grove cemetery Tuesday afternoon.—Mr. Morris Hawley and R. Haskins, of Akron, were here Sunday.—J. H. Coleman is spending a few days at his home.—Mr. A. Turner has returned from Georgia.—H. C. Johnson has had rheumatism the past week.—The True Reformers will serve another social in their hall January 18. Treasurer Central Labor Union. New York City. At an election of officers of the Central Labor Union recently, William C. Bourke, of District Assembly 220, K. of L., was elected treasurer. The rest of the officers were re-elected. The chairman, Robert Kopp, said that the Knights of Labor had been the first to concede that Afro-Americans were entitled to the same privileges in unions as white men. "The Knights of Labor, to which this body belongs," he said, "knows neither creed, race nor color. If the president of the United States can take a colored man to dine with him the Central Labor Union can surely have a colored man for treasurer." The Last of Poor Lo. Civilization is having its effect upon the Indian papoose as well as upon the warrior and medicine man, says The Delineator for February. In a few years more there will be no more little full-blood babies, so fast is the extinction of the red race being accomplished. And when the redskin children are no more, the west will note the absence of its most stoical little Americans, the most picturesque of all babies. In a well-illustrated article on the subject W. R. Draper discusses the passing of the Indians, of which the present generation of full-blood babies will be the last. Died for a Girl: Buffalo, N. Y.—Because electricity did not change his color and a white girl refused to marry him on that account, John Jackson, 19 years old, committed suicide recently by drinking carbolic acid. Jackson formerly worked at the Genesee hotel as a bellboy and lived on King street. He was good looking and fell in love with a white neighbor's daughter, who promised to marry him if he could get his color changed so it would be a few shades lighter. Notice for Parole.

OHIO. 3 4 FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA. Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon and Is Well Pleased. Mr. S. K. Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to report on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipep to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country in that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing 5 feet in height. I have been a farmer for 40 years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations, namely, Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and other points. From Macleod I went to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first 50 miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for themselves—one party buying 12 sections, and the other 20 sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. I have traveled over 23 different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as fine a stock country.

BOOKER WASHINGTON'S STORY An Anecdote That Went to the Hearts of His Southern White Of the many anecdotes told the following shows Booker T. Washington's readiness in assimilating what he hears and in putting it to effective use, says the Outlook. Once on board a train in Virginia the talk touched in some way which I have forgotten now the subject of the oldtime southern servants. A man whose dress showed him to be a clergyman, and who I afterward learned was the rector of one of the oldest and most distinguished Episcopal churches in the state, said that he had taken charge of the parish where he was then located during the year previous and had moved into the rectory which went with the church. His predecessor had died in office, after a long pastorate. When the new family came to the rectory to live they found there an old colored man who had been employed about the grounds for many years, and hired him to remain with them and continue at his work. "One day last summer," the rector said, "my wife decided that she would like a certain shrub in the garden better if it stood in another place, and the next morning told John to dig it up and move it. Along in the middle of the day she was out in the garden, and, seeing that the shrub had not been transplanted, said: 'John, don't forget to move that bush there as I told you.' "Yes, marm," said John. "That afternoon my wife was away from home. When she returned, late in the day, she saw that the plant had not been disturbed. Annoyed at the man's disregard of her wishes, she called him to her and spoke to him rather sharply: "Didn't I tell you twice to move that shrub over there to the other side of the garden?" "Yes, marm, you certainly did.' "And you to'd me you would?" "Yes, marm, I surely did.' "What do you mean, then, by distinctly disobeying me?" "My wife said the old man laid down the hoe he had been using, and, coming up in front of her, took off his hat and stopped a minute before he answered, as if he was struggling between his sense of duty to her and his own feelings. When he finally looked up, she was astonished to see that the tears were streaming down his face. "I hope you'll 'suse me, marm,' he said, 'I surely hope you will; but I can't move that bush.' "Can't move that bush! Why? It was not a large one." "The old man dropped his hat and clasped his hands together. 'Oh, marm,' he said, 'my old missis, what's dead now, planted that bush right there. I can't dig it up.'" "The bush can't move Mr. Washington was to speak that night in the opera house in Richmond. Both houses of the Virginia legislature attended in a body, as did also those officials of the city government. Besides these there were many other prominent white men present, so that without doubt the audience was representative of the most intelligent white citizenship of the state. In the course of his address Mr. Washington made an eloquent appeal in behalf of the people of his race, that no change in the school laws of the state be made to the detriment of the colored schools, and told the story of the old negro gardener who could not move the bush because his dead white "missis" set it out. More than one strong man in the audience was brushing the tears out of his eyes before the story was done and felt no sensitiveness about having his neighbor see him do it.

What Has Been Accomplished for His Science by Berthelot in Fifty Years. The great chemist, M. Berthelot, has just completed his 50 years of service as a scientific teacher, an occasion which was celebrated at the Sorbonne in Paris. No other chemist perhaps has so helped to lay the foundation of chemistry as has M. Berthelot, and that the congratulations he received came from all civilized nations is no matter for surprise, says the London Lancet. His career has been a remarkable one. He became a professor at the early age of 24 years, and a brilliant investigator within a few years of this appointment, gaining enormous insight into the laws which lay at the root of chemical architecture. Perhaps his most epoch-making discovery was his demonstration of the true nature of glycerin as an alcoholic body capable of interacting with three molecules of such acids as acetic and palmitic, although his contributions to thermal chemistry were models of ingenuity, resource and original conception. Later he attacked the question of synthesis and until the publication of his "Chimic Organique fondee sur la Synthese" no systematic research had been attempted in the direction of building up compounds of carbon comparable with natural organic compounds by the union of elements of which they are composed. We must remember, however, Wohler's synthesis of urea in 1828 and Kolbe's synthesis of acetic acid in 1845. But the methods subsequently employed by M. Berthelot were more simple and direct. He started, for example, with the elements themselves. He took carbon and hydrogen which produced acetylene; adding more hydrogen he got thylene, and from this he obtained alcohol and a series of organic salts. Again he set himself the task of proving that compounds identical in every respect with the products of animal and vegetable life may be formed from dead mineral matter. Thus in a series of experiments he employed the carbon obtained in the form of carbon dioxide from barium carbonate. It was then made to pass successively through the forms of carbonic oxide, formic acid, barium formate, ethylene, ethylene bromide, ethylene again and finally into ethylsulphuric acid and its crystallized barium salt, from which the ultimate object of these experiments—alcohol was generated. It follows that water and carbon dioxide were the only compounds from which the elements of this alcohol were derived. Little wonder, then, that scientific men of all the civilized nations assembled at the Sorbonne to do honor to this great exponent of nature's methods and mysteries. Bologna's Tipsy Towers. Bologna's two square leaning towers, the Garisenda and the Asinelli, which are more startling than the tower of Pisa, are safe. A rumor was started that they showed signs of weakening, but a commission of engineers pronounces them as solid as ever. The Asinelli tower is 315 feet high and was built in 1100. The Garisenda was built a year later, and was originally taller, but is now only 153 feet high. Its inclination, however, is greater than that of the other tower. —N. Y. Sun.
