THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. NEGROES' MUSICAL SHOWING VOL. XV. It may interest some of the present generation of Negroes to know that more than a half century ago the Negro musical composer was much in evidence and that the output of his brain was not ragtime but music of a highly classical character. Philadelphia at that early period was the center of activity of the musical celebrities of the race and much of the music written by them was published there and in some of the great musical journals of that period. I will give the readers a list of these Negro authors and their works. It may be that some of them have played or sung some of their selections without knowing they were of Negro origin. The list is by no means complete either as to the number of Negro composers, or of their works. It would be a revelation to the Negro and his critics alike if all of this fugitive work could be gathered and put into book form. But Negroes have very little public spirit and hence little if any interest in matters of this kind. That there is so much good material concerning the achievements of the race ready to be garnered, accentuates the demand for a national Negro historical society with branches or corresponding members in every state and territory. A DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, NOV.10, 1905. race cannot make history by neglecting to keep a record of the things it has done, is doing and contemplates doing. It cannot meet the arguments of its critics and slanderers without something tangible to refute and confound them. There is in every state some colored man or woman, or a number of them who know many things concerning the race which if reduced to writing would possess historical value in the years to come. I have done and am still trying to do all I can to give publicity to every item of historical value that comes within my knowledge. Some day they will be gathered together by a Negro historian and be made to do duty as links in the great chain of Negro history in America. One of the foremost bandmasters of the ante-bellum period was the celebrated Frank Johnson of Philadelphia, who was the founder and conductor of the band which bore his name. and which subsequently achieved international fame having had the privilege and the honor of playing before the late Queen Victoria in England at her special command. While abroad the band gave many public concerts in England and on the Continent and attracted immense audiences wherever it played State Historian & Natural History Society ATE DO, WYOMING, MONT LORADO, FRIDAY, N TESA WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND ADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1905. because of the novelty of the entertainments. Mr. Johnson and the members of his band were shown many social courtesies by the nobility of England and were the lions of the hour during their brief stay on Albion's isle. I have seen some of the English press notices of the work of this band and they are flattering in the extreme. Frank Johnson was it seems no ordinary man. He was very much of a genius, a musical genius. He was a voluminous composer as the following list of his compositions will show, "Alarm Gun Military Quadrille," 1842, J. G. Osborn, Pub.; "Centennial Dirge," 1832, Pub. by author; "London Polka Waltz"; "New Cotillions," G. E. Blake, Phila. Pub.; "Cape May Gallopade," J. G. Osborn' Phila., Pub.; Col. C. G. Childs' Parade March, 1826, G. Willing, Phila., Pub.; "The American Boy," patriotic song; "New Bird Waltz," J. G. Osborn, Phila.; "Mononghahela Waltz," 1845 J. G. Osborn, Pub.; "Voice Quadrille;" "Washington Greys Quick Step," Fiot Meignen & Co., Phila.: "Butchers and Drovers Grand March," 1842, J. G. Osborn; "Philadelphia Firemen,s Parade March," L. Meignen, Pub.; "Princeton Gallopade," 1845, J. G. Osborn, Pub.; "Campanalogian Quadrille," 1844, J. F. Nunns, N. Y.; Pub.; "New Spanish Dance." Lee & Walker, Pub.; "New Cotillions," 1828 Fiot Meignen & Co., Pub.; "Bugle Slow March and Quick Step;" "Victoria Gallop," G. Willig, Phila., Pub; "General Cadwalladers March," G. Willig, Phila.; "Johnson's March," G. Willig, Phila.; "Col. G. D. B. Keims March Quick Step," G. Willig, Phila.; "Phoenix Polka." 1849, Lee & Walker. Pub; "New Cotillions," G. E. Blake, Phila. These are only a few of Frank Johnson's compositions. Somewhere in Philadelphia or in the State of Pennsylvania at least, there is or ought to be some Negro or white man with a complete set of the works of this wonderful man. --- NO.73 There was a Mrs. Anna J. Gassawa, a resident of Brooklyn. who wrote and published a song, "The Little White Casket," in 1891. But Philadelphia in the early days stood at the head of the heap. Mr. Jas. Hemmenway. a very talented solored man wrote a song entitled "That Rest so Sweet Like Bliss Above." It was published in Atkinson Casket for Oct, 1829 which was much admired and became very popular. He was also the author of the following: "Philadelphia Grand Entree March," "Washington Greys Grand March," "Washington Greys Bugle Quick Step," "Hunter and Hop Waltzes." Mr. A. J. R. Connor comes next with a song dedicated to Miss Matilda Cornish, entitled, 'My Cherished Hope, My Fondest Dream;" "Evergreen Polka," 1859, Oliver, Ditson & Co., Boston; "American Polka Quadrille," 1846 Oliver, Ditson & Co., Boston; "New York Polka Waltz," 1846, A. Fiot, Phila.; "Gen. Taylor's Gallop," 1846, J. G. Osborn, Phila.; "Philladelphia Polka Waltz," 1846, A. Fiot, Phila.; I. O. of O. F. Quadrille," 1846, Lee & Walker, Phila.; Chestnut St. Promenade Quadrille, 1850, S. T. Gordon, N. York. It should be remembered that when these Negroes were wooing the muse of music and proving their right to be men that certain American statesmen less than two hundred miles from Philadelphia were making strenuous efforts to fasten the stigma of slavery upon the race forever. Maryland also produced some musical geniuses but I am only able to present one of them, Robert Murry of Baltimore, who wrote 'Furioso Gallop," published by Boswell & Barriet, Baltimore, and "Tedesso Polka", by Geo. Willig, Baltimore. St. Louis can boast of T. W. Posttewaite as one of its earliest Negro musical composers. He wrote "St. Louis Grey Quick'Step"i n 1852 and (Continued on page 10.) Negroes' Musical Showing (Continued from page one.) "Dew Drop Schottische" in 1857, Palmer & Weber, publishers. Isaac Hazzard of Philadelphia wrote "Davis' Quick Step," 1843, Isaac Hazzard, Pub.; "Alarm Gun Quadrille," 1842, Isaac Hazzard, Pub.; "Croton Waltz," 1844, J. G. Osborn, Phila. Andrew Burriq, another talented colored man of Philadelphia wrote a song in 1857 which is said to have been quite popular in its day. Its title was "You Bid Me Strike My Harp," John Marsh, Phila., Pub. The same firm published "The Brotherhood's Grand March." "Amateur's Companion,' a collections of songs, waltzes, polkas, schottisches, marches and gallops arranged for the piano by W. H. Davis, a Philadelphia Negro. It is perhaps not generally known that the song, "Listen to the Mocking Bird," a song that has been sung and played in every civilized country of the world, was composed by a Negro street minstrel of Philadelphia, Geo. Milburn, back in the 50's and was set to music by a white man named Septimus Winner, famous as a song writer and whose fame obscured that of this wandering Negro minstrel whose claim to its paternity has long been denied. The popularity of this song made Mr. Winner even more famous than he already was and in the goodness of his heart he gave the Negro in whose soul the melody had its birth, 25 copies of the sheet music. How generous! More than 200.000 copies of this song were sold in a year after its first appearance. There are undoubtedly larger and better collections of the work of Negro musical composers than this and I could wish that the editor of THE STATESMAN would invite his numerous readers to refresh their memories and the memories of old inhabitants and furnish this paper with authentic historical data bearing upon every phase of Negro life. By this method we may be able to find out who's who" among the colored brethron in all sections of the country. There THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. are scores of undiscovered geniuses among us whom a word of recognition and encouragement would inspire to greater effort in their various lines of endeavor. There lives in the city of Washington a Negro, a practical printer, who many years ago invented a rotary printing press. Doubtless if he had had the capital to push his invention or, if colored men had had the courage to back him he would have made money out of this useful invention. There is a model of this press in the patent office at Washington, D. C. It would be a good thing if some of the rich colored syndicates would put this press on the market. Its inventor is W. A. Lavellette and his ideas of what a rotary press should be are fully comprehended in this invention. He is also the inventor of the brass back comb but this idea was stolen from him by white drummer who secured a letters patent on it and made a comfortable fortune out of it. Let every Negro who knows of any invention by a Negro, of any book of any great deed performed by a member of the race write out the facts giving full name, dates, place and other circumstances necessary to authenticate the facts and send it to some race newspaper where a record can be made of it. I went into a second hand book store in New York recent ay to purchase a copy of a book containing the addresses of the famous anti slavery orator, Sam'l Ringgold Ward, which I was told was on sale there. but was informed by the salesman that a white patron had a standing order for all Negro bibliographies and had purchased this book. Why are white people so interested in these matters, and why are black peo so indifferent about them? Even the wealthy J. P. Morgan is buying Negro books and pamphlets that are now out of print. A dealer from whom I purchase old books in Albany, writes me that Mr. Morgan paid him $25, i. e, his agent did for an old discipline of the A. M. E. Church, the first of the series issued by that church. These are things worth thinking about and I hope our young people who have the lyceum habit will make their lyceums bureau of information from which reliable facts about the Negro may be obtained. If we are to make history we must gather the material while it may be had. JOHN E. BRUCE, 105 Waverly St., Yonkers, N. Y. Making Use of an Heirloom. A certain young woman in town is the proud possessor of a stunning old-fashioned brass-nail studded chest. It is an heirloom, having been handed down from New England relatives. It is the joy of her life. She really didn't know quite how much she did think of it until a friend of an exceedingly practical turn of mind wondered why she didn't make a cretonne cover and valance for it. "It would make such a nice seat!" remarked the friend.—New York Sun. Attention! Attention! ATESMAN et, Near Aarpahoe. THE STATE 1026 19th Street, Ne THE STATESMAN 1026 19th Street, Near Aarpahoe.

Warned Against Tea Drinking. A youth at Cambridge University was in 1717 mildly remonstrated with by his uncle on account of his chandler's bill being too high "by reason of ye foolish custom you have got of drinking and treating with Tea wch is not only very chargeable but is ye occasion of misspending a great deal of time. I hope therefore you will leave it of." Lancashire Exports. Lancashire exported 1,530,000,000 yards of cotton goods in the three months ended March, 1905.

The old folks concert promises to be a novel affair. Admission 10 cents. Great success has always been the lot of Captolia Temple, No.133, S.M.T., in its entertainments. This is due in a large part to the popularity of the order and its lodge's members and in part to the way they prepare for all to have a good time. On next Thursday evening the ladies will entertain at Manitou Hall. They have arranged a mask frolic with the Harris Orchestra to play the music. Of all the charitable societies in the city, none is superior to this Temple and they will doubtless have a great success. PERSONALS. Mrs. J Turner returned from California Friday after a stay of several months. A paper, "Casualties During the Past 100 Years," by Alex Plummer, will be a feature of the program at the Alliance Sunday. The officers of the Golden Chest Mining amd Milling Co. are very much elated over a new strike on their property. J. R. Lewis, superintendent, made a short business trip to this city Monday and brought the good news of a strike in Shaft No. 1, that is 7ft by 6 in and in a 'letter has since said that the vein is still widening. Claimed by mining engineers that there was a big body of ore in this mine at 75 feet more depth but at this rate it will be reached much sooner. Under the chairmanship of Dr. Spratlin, the Odd Fellows of Arapa-Lodge broke all records for attendance at Manitou Hall Thursday night on the occasion of the rally on their building fund. The crowd filled all the seats and filled out a large part of the dancing floor. In the early evening a short program was rendered. Later the Harris Orchestra played as it well knows how and the dancers reveled in delight over the finest floor in Denver. One of the best features of the evening was the display of the pictures of Charles Lightner. It included water colors and oil paintings and covered a wide range of subjects from nature landscapes to life. Praise is an empty thing at best but no words can convey the rare pleasure one missed who did not see the drawings. Cause Enough. "Thought you were at the concert to-night?" "Just left."

The Russian naval commander, Admiral Rojestvensky, has always been looked upon by his friends as one of the most pessimistic men in the navy. His morbid feelings were exhibited in some verse written by him in the album of an English girl, at her request. He selected the well-known little French poem, "La Vie est Breve," and wrote this paragraph of it: La vie est bete, Un peu de fete, Un peu d'ennul, El puis—bonne nult. "Life is stupid. A little gayety, a little weariness, and then—good night." The Repeater. In discussing at a dinner the voting fraud of Philadelphia, J. G. Gordon, the Mayor's counsel, told a story of a repeater. "He was an ignorant chap, this repeater," said Judge Gordon. "He had the stolid and unmoved look of an animal. "When they arrested him he asked what crime lay at his door. "'You are charged,' said the police man, 'with having voted twice.' "'Charged, am I?' muttered the prisoner. 'That's odd. I expected to be paid for it.'" --- --- Tel. Blue 1568.

All trains fast and punctual LOCOMOTIVE IN THE GAME. Baseball Story Told So Many Times Maryland Believes It. In the baseball annals of Texas, Baltimore county, is an incident which, whether an actual occurrence or not, has been repeated so often that it is invested with a force of fact. On a hot Fourth of July back in the 80s, when the catcher held his position behind the bat without mask, and the pitcher knew of no curve or toe plate, there was a game of ball between the Texas Sluggers and the Timonium Little Potatoes, But Hard to Peel. The Sluggers had got in some good stick work early in the game, and the visitors were just feeling the big Texas pitcher. It was the fifth inning and the Little Potatoes had two men on the bases, one on second and the other on first, when one of their home run hitters, who had been asleep up until the moment, struck the ball It cleared the entire field, and would have fallen on the railroad track, but just at that moment a train came along and the ball disappeared in the smokestack of the engine. The train was going at a lively speed up grade, and the force of the puffs ejected the ball. The momentum of the train carried it until it fell into the third baseman's hands, and a double play was the result. After much kicking from the Little Potatoes as to whether the play was fair, the side was retired, as the double play made three hands out. Baltimore Sun. Tendency of Fish to Decompose. Fish, because of its tendency rapidly to decompose, holds a peculiar position among foods. In England it is the subject of a special act of Parliament. So long ago as 1698 men knew the evil consequences resulting from eating mackerel of uncertain postmortem age. So they passed an act providing that except during the hours of divine service this fish could be sold on Sunday. That act has never been repealed.

Boggars Waive Explanation of His Mode of Livelihood. "One day last week," observed the man who has bachelor apartments, "a chap who bore all the marks of a professional hobo presented himself at my door and begged for a pair of old shoes. As evidence that he really needed them he extended a foot for my inspection. The utterly dilapidated condition of his foot covering was proof enough, and I immediately rooted out a pair of old shoes from my closet and handed them over with the feeling that I was relieving actual want. "A few minutes later I had occasion to leave my rooms, and as I walked down the street and turned the corner at Seventh avenue I noticed ahead of me the man to whom I had just given the shoes. I followed him, not out of curiosity, but because my course lay in that direction. Before long I saw him enter a second-hand shoe store. A dark suspicion popped into my head, and I waited until the man came out. Soon he appeared without the package of shoes which I had given to him. On his feet were the same battered wrecks which had so moved me to compassion. Confronting the impostor, I said somewhat angrily: "So that's your little game, is it? "He recognized me instantly, but instead of being nonplussed he calmly remarked, smiling facetiously: 'Wokin a poor bum do wot's too honest ter steal an' too lazy ter work? Shoes is my specialty, boss. Say we have a drink an' call it even'." Sure Sign of Intoxication. The question of when a man is drunk has long been an open one, many attempts having been made in vain to determine the line which marks the division line between jollification and ossification. But an official method of determining when a woman is drunk was established in police court yesterday afternoon. A witness had testified that a woman who figured in the case was drunk when the attorney for the other side sought to determine the extent of the witness's knowledge on that point. "How do you know she was drunk?" inquired the attorney. "Why, because she was just drunk." "But how did you determine that?" "From her breath." "Ho! Then the breath is a sure index of intoxication!" "Sure. If her breath is drunk she is drunk all over." The attorney did not press the investigation further along that line.—Binghamton Republican. Just in Time. When the bell at an uptown parsonage rang the other evening the clergyman was in his study and his wife was busy putting an infant to sleep, so Master Harold, aged 7, went to the door. On opening it he found a couple evidently from the country, both young and bashful. After looking at the boy for a moment the young man queried: "Is the pastor at home?" "Yes," said Harold. "Do you want to get married?" "That's just what we're here for," replied the prospective bridegroom. "Well, come right in, then," said the boy, ushering them into the parlor. "I'll tell papa, and mamma, too. She'll be awful glad to see you, for she gets all the marriage money. I heard her tell pa this mornin' that she wished some folks would come to THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. get married soon cause she wanted to buy a new fall hat."—New York Press. Providing for Emergencies. When the Independence Party, the late belligerent end of the Philadelphia Democracy, was in process of organization there was held a meeting to adopt rules. One of the provisions was for a committee to decide contests, and it was suggested that it be composed of eight members. Up rose an enthusiastic Irishman, representing the hotbed of belligerency. "Mistur Chairman," he began, "I move you, Sur, that the committee of eight be made a committee of nine, Sur, so that when there's a tie vote there will be wun majority." His motion carried.—New York Times. Singer Has Remarkable Voice. It is claimed for Mlle.

The associated charities, an organization composed of the wealthiest and most influential citizens, was perfected at a meeting held in the Commercial Club building last Thursday. This movement makes it evident that there is great need of organization of our women that it might co operate and help such an organization that it might be a mutual aid to the race The associated charities has for its purpose the caring for the sick and indigent and will ask the Legislature to assist in building a county poor farm. Our women should arouse themselves and assist in this effort for if we do not show some interest in this matter in its infancy we might have difficulty in finding accommodation for the indigent of the race when this object is completed. The fact is still fresh in the minds of ma- ny that we were coldly turned down by the Sisters Hospital shortly after it was built when we attempted to get accommodations for an indigent member of the race. Why, because we give nothing towards building these institutions yet we have the opportunity. It is to be regretted that the women are not organized so they could take the lead in the movement.

Why a Redhot Poker Does Not Cause It to Hiss and Sputter. If a redhot poker be thrust into cold water it hisses and sputters; if into boiling water, there is no commotion, says London Answers. When in the first experiment cold water comes in contact with the hot iron there is a sudden and explosive generation of steam, which causes the liquid to be scattered with a hissing noise, consequent upon the bursting of innumerable bubbles. When, on the other hand, a poker is thrust into boiling water, which is already giving forth steam, the introduction of the hot iron, by still further assisting steam production, causes the poker to become at once surrounded by a sheath of vapor, which effectually prevents the water from coming into actual contact with the metal. This sheath of vapor is comparatively a bad conductor of heat, so that but little passes from the iron to the water. There is no commotion and the poker can be withdrawn still glowing brightly. No Use for Gold. A German barkeeper who has been in the United States about five years in all that time had never seen a $5 gold piece.

H18 POSITION MADE PLAIN. Senator Hoar Obliged His Colleagues From Ohio. The late Senator Hoar was ever ready and willing to indulge in a bit of repartee with his colleagues whether they were of his political faith or not. One day several retorts courteous passed between Mr. Hoar and Senator Foraker, who was speaking on the Panama question. Now, Senator Foraker dislikes nothing so much as to be interrupted in the course of his remarks. On this occasion it was plainly to be seen that he was not a little impatient at the incessant interjections, sotto voce, offered by the Massachusetts senator, who had been contending that the Ohioan had misrepresented his—Senator Hoar's—position on the subject of the canal. Several long colloquies had ensued between the two senators, when Mr. Foraker, with some feeling, exclaimed: "Really, I wish that, when the Senator from Massachusetts is willing that I shall resume, after each of these interruptions, he will be so kind on each occasion as to tell me where I was." "In this case, I will gladly do so," rejoined Mr. Hoar, beaming at the opportunity afforded to "get back" at his colleagues from Ohio; "the gentleman was making a misstatement of my views!" Mr. Foraker was, for a moment much taken back, especially as a roar of laughter at the sally came from the senate.--Harper's Weekly. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. SORRY HE SAW HER FIRST. Game of Hide-and-Seek at a House Party and Its Sad Ending. It was not so very long ago that a jolly party of young men and women from the capital went on a week-end visit to Miss Dash, whose father has a country house not a day's journey away, says the Washington Post. It was not the sort of house party you read about in "smart" novels. They didn't play bridge nor hunt; they romped like a lot of children. Mr. and Mrs. Dash were away one evening and if the house had not been very solidly built it would have been torn down. Nobody ever heard such rollicking laughter, such mad scamperings as went on. Somebody suggested hide and seek. The young people hid in the attack and the cellar and in every possible place between. A normally sedate young man was the seeker. He galloped about madly, shouting and searching. He opened every door he saw and in one room his keen eyes espied somebody trying to hide in a bed. He pouenced forward and seized the figure. "Get out of that!" he cried. "I've got you. You can't hide from me." Wild shrieks and the noise of combat rent the air. Furious invective and stammered expostulation brought the rest of the party in no time at all. The usually sedate young man had found the cook and nothing he could say had any weight with her. She came of fighting stock. She blacked his eye and—well, that's why the Dash country house is now minus a cook. COLOR FREAKS OF FASHION. Women Who Would Be in Style Must Sacrifice Much. "I'm glad I'm not my wife," said the dyspeptic as he settled down to his hygienic luncheon of rare roast beef, creamed onions and boiled rice; "I'd be dead if I were. I have trouble enough keeping alive as it is. Fancy the shape I'd be in if I had to change my spots—I mean my color—as often as fickle fashion dictates. Why, I've forgotten what color my wife originally was, she's undergone so many beauty transformations. And now she's got to do it again. A friend just back from the other side has told her that though red hair continues to be the proper caper it must now be backed up by green eyes and a dead white skin. The hair and skin are easy enough, but even my wife is a little afraid of the beauty specialist who is willing to undertake to make her eyes look green. There's just one grain of comfort in it all for me—though she achieve the pallid skin, the green eyes and the red hair it will not give her a temperament to correspond. I shall yet enjoy the modicum of peace it is in her capricious nature to allow me."—Philadelphia Record Railway Supplies for Mexico.

Kisses carry microbes, this authority agrees, but so much the better. He insists that the interchange of certain bacillii is a laudable and healthful practice. In kissing, it is not so much the bad microbes as the beneficent ones that are exchanged. These good bacteria are not only favorable, but essential, to digestion. King Edward is "Chesty."

One of the most nopeful signs of the times is the apparent decay of the breed of so-called great men—those mighty personalities that in former times stood out like a solitary tree in a vast prairie. The reason for it, of course, is the distinction of all those old-time monopolies of brains which stunted all human beings except a few who, by chance rather than by superiority of fibre, grew and developed. There are thousands, literally thousands, of men now living who, if they had lived a century or so ago and had done a work similar to which they are doing without any very sonorous fanfare upon the trumpets of fame, would have been the talk of the world and the main topic of history. And how many of the so-called great achievements of so-called great statesmen, soldiers and thinkers of former times would be impossible to-day, because those achievements depended chiefly upon the ignorance and incapacity of the overwhelming mass of the men of their day! Truly, this is the age of opportunity.—Saturday Evening Post. How "All Men Are Born Equal." The woman born beautiful doesn't bother to educate her intelligence, is spoiled by flattery, is unable to hold the men she attracts; the woman born homely is driven to develop her character and her mind, and so more than overcomes her handicap as against her pretty sister. The man born clever loses because he wins too easily and has no incentive to that sustained effort which alone achieves success; the man born "slow" develops patience, assiduity, balance and, best of all, tenacity. It comes near to being a universal rule that strong points and weak ones just about offset each other in any human being at the start, and that the development is a matter for the man himself to determine. And there is no fatal handicap except the disposition to regard one's handicap as fatal. —Saturday Evening rest. Mexican Statesman Entertained.

The season's harvest from Egyptian excavations is on view at University College, London, England. The chief interest is in Prof. Flinders Petrie's Sinaitic Peninsula excavations made in the turquoise mines of Waxmoaghaia and Sarabit el Khadem and the latter's temple. The oldest monument group, the king of Mereskha smiting a captive sheikh, is assigned to the first dynasty about 4,600 B. C. There are also sculptures and inscriptions which are assigned to 2500 B. C. An interesting feature of Sarabit et Khadem is the evidence that it was Semitic and not Egyptian worship which was practiced in the whole region. Scattered pilgrim shelters usually contained a bethel stone, some of which have Egyptian inscriptions. Here the pilgrims came for oracular dreams. This special feature of Semitic worship was quite unknown in Egypt. The Temple of Sarabit el Khadem was originally the sacred cave of the Goddess Hathor. It must have existed in the Third Dynasty, nearly 7,000 years ago. One peculiar un-Egyptian feature of it was two small courts, each with a stone basin for purification. This characteristic feature of every Mohammedan mosque must have existed in Syrian worship fifteen centuries before Christ. The discovery of the greatest antiquity is a collection of flints used by the Bedouins in working turquoise out of sandstone, which dates to 10,000 B. C.
