TWO COLORED SISTERS WANT TO BE GRADUATED They Appeal to State Superintendent of Public Instruction and Charge Unfairness. Auburn, N. Y. Special: Mary and Sarah Richardson, colored, sisters, who are students of the high school, have appealed to Charles R. Skinner, state superintendent of public instruction, to grant them the privileges of the work or the high school graduating class of 1903, and permission to be graduated with that class. Their petition states that they should have been regularly graduated with the class of 1902, but that they have not been fairly treated. They complain of Principal Floyd J. Bartlett and say that since he has been in the school they have been misused and ill-treated by him and he has not allowed them proper credit for their work; that for the school year ending July 31, 1901, they were not given proper credit for their work in geometry, one of the studies that Bartlett and the board of education claim to be an essential for graduating, although from their standing and reports of examinations as read by the teachers at the time they believe they should have a record of considerably more than 75 per cent. The petition states that "Bartlett has refused to speak to them or answer their questions or to let them know their standing in high school, but that he has given a false report of their standing to them, to the board of education, and to others by exhibiting and showing to them a graduation slip which did not contain a record of much more than half the work they had accomplished, and Barucci claimed, when so exhibiting the slip, that it contained a true record of all their work; that the records of the high school show that they have passed in more studies than is credited to them on the graduation slip, and even the records do not contain a full report of all their mores." THE Ricardson girls allege that they were promised diplomas at the close of the last school year showing that they had completed an eclectic course; that their names were not placed on the commencement programme; that they were denied the privileges of the graduating class and that the "diplomas" given to them merely stated that they had "faithfully" pursued an eclectic course. The girls refused to accept the so-called diplomas, and, failing to ob- tain satisfaction, they ask relief from the state. Their petition is accompanied by an affidavit by their attorney to corroborate their statements, and with the additional information that access to the school records was denied them and him until June 25th last. Copies of the paper have been served upon President Myer, of the board of education, and Principal Bartlett. WHERE COLOR LINE IS DRAWN In Jim Crow Cars in Virginia and in Army Ambulance of Fort Missoula Missoula, Sept. 21.—In a recent issue of the Washington Post, apeara the following communication, which has some local interest by reason of the fact that the theme of the writer's argument is furnished by local conditions: "Editor Post—In one of the great magazines of the month is an article on the negro problem in which the 'jim crow car' and other crimes against things as they are appear to view. Now, who can blame Virginia for her jim-crow law, when there is an unwritten one in practice in the army of the United States? "At the fort, five miles from this little town, and bearing its name, is a battalion of negro soldiers. To the casual stranger they appear to be well disciplined, clean looking and well-behaved, and of more than ordinary intelligence, 'each in the order of his star,' or, as he might himself say, 'Cordin' to his lights. Lieu-enant Rains, a southerner, said to me that he considers them as good as himself or anybody more. Moreover, some of them are early white; some have seen 20 years' service and more against Indians, Spaniards and Filipinos. Their officers speak in their most conglend praise. There are two ambulances, and a four-seated 'buckboard,' commission between town and fort, drawn by government mules, fed on government forage, and driven by soldiers. Nevertheless, no officer would permit one of these men to ride in the ambulance with him; nor with any of his family, notwithstanding the fact that only by courtesy are families part of the army, while soldiers are its mainstay. Even when the officers and the men are in citizens' dress, the man must ride, if at all, the box, no matter if there be but one person inside, the negro is 'taboo.' I suppose that it is the custom also with white soldiers, but I have not noticed that. These are the first negro soldiers that I have seen, and it attracted my attention. It may not everywhere be so. Do not understand me as animadvertising on this matter. I am not aiming to change the present cusutum, but merely writing of the facts. Nor am I asserting that there is no more danger of too great familiarity ensuing from a stage ride in common than a street car ride. Before tackling the mountain of prejudice in Virginia and Kentucky, which is but the expressed result from many terms and members, let the so-called piebicolae tacale the molehill of caste in the army, at le ast, where it has extra-official manifestation. Then straightway there will go up a mighty cry, 'Foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?' A foolish reformer, or carer, do you not know that all depend upon whose ox is grazed? "POSEY S. WILSON. STREET CAR JUMPS TRACK AND HURTS PASSEGERS Electric Power Accidentally Turned on While Conductor is Collected Fares. Helena. Mont., Sept. 22. Five colored soldiers at Fort Harrison and a number of other passengers were badly bruised and shaken up this evening as the result of a street car on the upper line of the Helena Light and Traction company jumping the track at about 7:20 o'clock. No one was killed, as first reported, but two of the colored soldiers were so badly injured that they are now in the hospital at the fort. They are Joseph Junior, foot broken and bruised, and Corporal Kris, badly bruised about head and body. The other soldiers were more or less injured. Two had sprained knees while another had a sprained wrist, and an ankle. 'There were a number of civilians and women on the car, who were shaken up and frightened but not injured. The accident took place at the foot of the Hayes hill. it is the custom for the conductors to allow the cars to run at half speed while collecting fares. The car this evening was heavily loaded and both platforms were crowded. Upon the long stretch of straight track on the way in Conductor Seeley allowed the car to run about half speed. He then entered the car and began collecting fares. It seemed that the line where the turn is made to go up the hill was closer at hand than Mr. Seeley thought. While inside the soldiers on the front end lostied one another, with the result that they brushed against the handle which turns on the power. This went around until the car was going at full speed. Conductor Seeley noticed that the car was going at greater speed and rushed out to the front platform to turn off the power, but owing to the crowd of soldiers was not able to reach there at once. Before he could push his way through the car had struck the curve when the turn is made to go up the hill and jumped the track. The injured was taken to the hospital at the fort. Mr. Charles A. Moseley has been very sick for the last week, but is able to be out now. Mrs. V. Brooks and Mrs. Ed. Johnson received a dispatch yesterday, with the sad news of their mother's death. They have the sympathy of all their friends. Mrs. E. Wagner has been indisposed for a few days this week. Mrs. Chas. Owens returned Tuesday with her sisters and Mr. Sampson, from the mountains, where they have been hunting for the last sixteen days. The left Mrs. Palmer, Gus. Mason and ether Palmer in Deep Creek canyon, about 52 miles from here. They are expected in on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Clark have removed from Fifthe avenue to the corner of Hoback and Eighth avenue. Salt Lake Department Mrs. Seth Young continues to improve. Mr. Oxford returns to the city after several months absence. Mr. J. W. Gudger has accepted a position with the Pullman company. We are glad to know that little Willie, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Powell, is rapidly improving. The members and friends of Calvary Baptist church are preparing to give a concert in the near future. The friends of Mr. Charles Seals will be very glad to know that he is able to be around again after a spell of sickness. Mrs. Perkins, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Flake, at Grey's Lake, passed through Pocatello en route home. She reports having had a nice time. Mr. Charles Campbell, Mrs. J. D. Stawlin and Mrs. Annie Keese, of Ogden, were down to the Emancipation celebration, Monday, the 21st, just. The Willing Workers are preparing to give a harvest home fair November 27th and 28th, knowing what they have accomplished in the past, the fair is looked forward to as a grand treat. Mrs. T. J. Thomas, who had several teeth extracted, has been confined to her bed for a week, the stran was very trying on her nerves, but we are glad to say she is doing nicely at this writing. The Emancipation celebration was not a success financially but socially it could not be beat, and everyone will remember that it was celebration day. Mr. W. D. Powell deserves much credit. Rev. A. Wagner preached a very interesting theological sermon last Sunday night at the Trinity church. Brother Wagner has many warm friends in Salt Lake and after preaching his farewell sermon Wednesday night he left for his new charge in Phoenix, Arizona. Miss Susan Williams, of Ogden, spent four days in the city this week, visiting Mrs. E. D. Washington. She returned Friday morning delighted with her visit, and favorably impressed with the city and people. Miss Williams s formerly of Nasan, W. I. Islands. Mrs. Stone entertained at 5 o'clock luncheon Sunday, the 21st, 'inst., in honor of Mrs. M. W. Hedges, of Leadville. The repast was excellent, which reflects much credit upon the hostess. The following named persons were present. Hostess Mrs. Stone, honored guest Mrs. M. W. Hedges, Mr. and Mrs. James Hill, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Robinson. Mr. Grant Smith was up to Shoshone Falls four days this week hunting and fishing. He was quite successful and brought back enough cotton tails to supply all his neighbors and friends. We would not be surprised if Mr. Smith should take up his abode in other channels, soon, for there is a sweet, celebrated singer pulling on certain lines. Mrs. W. H. Barker and Mrs. E. D. Washington, assisted by Mrs. Blanchard, and Mrs. W. Robinson, gave a surprise party on Thursday night on Mrs. M. W. Hedges, of Leadville, Colo., and Miss Susan Williams, of Ogden. A real social evening was enjoyed by all who attended. The following were present: Professor Lewis, Rev. B. F. McIntwre, Miss Magee, Miss Mamie Perkins, Mrs. Russell, Mrs. P. H. Robinson, Mrs. W. G. Powell, Mrs. Lucretia, Perkins, Messrs. William Ribbon, W. J. Gudger and E. D. Washington. There was a banquet given at the Calvary Baptist church last Friday evening in honor of Chaplain John Axton, and the Rev. Hunt. The ministers of the city, with their wives, turned out and enjoyed very much the repast prepared under the supervision of Mrs. J. W. Washington. The honored guests went away with pleasant memories of Brother Washington and his people, and since the entertaining of the ministeral alliance the ministers of the city and their wives know that a treat awaits them when they are to be entertained by the Calvary Baptist church.

SAURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1902 The New Age, a neat six-column folio, published at Butte, Montana, is the "political organ of the colored people of the state." From a letter from Nora E. Hulings Siegel, of Denver, I learn that it is edited and printed by negroes. It is certainly a credit to them. It would be a credit to people of any color. It is edited with more than ordinary ability and shows energy and push in gathering news. it is clean, respectable and high-tone in every particular. Mrs. Siegel, who is a staff contributor to the Reasoner, and who has a big heart for humanity in all its varied expressions, is taking an especial interest in this enterprise of the colored people, and is contributing some articles to its columns relative to the history of the African race in general and to its social and economic position in the United States in particular. These articles are calculated to allay prejudices and cultivate a better feeling inbounds towards each other. The Reasoner extends the right hand of brotherhood to its colored kinsmen in Montana, and hopes that they may seek the mysteries of the Second Degree—the Reasoner. The New Age contains in this issue in our Great Falls department an appeal to the colored voter of this state. This goes to show that the policy of an organization which the Age has advocated from the very start, has met with the approbation of the entire colored population of Great Falls. We are also pleased to note that several of our number have been made delegates to the state convention. We still urge and continue to impress the vital importance of a combined force and labor to one great end. Cement our vote and carry our strength in one solid body and thereby reap some benefit from many state and county positions that are to be filled. It is a source of great pleasure to receive such favorable reports as that of the organization started among our brothers in Great Falls and other cities throughout the state. One of the New Age staff will start on a tour of the state to work in this capacity. Just think of the treatment that our colored brother receives at the hands of the southern white man. They are not even permitted to sit in their convention, among a body of men supposed to be congregated to select men to govern the machinery of the state. They will accept the negro taxes, forced to do as other citizens who enjoys the rights and privileges of free speech, to contribute towards the support and maintenance of a state government. This, to some extent, has been brought on by the negro failing to stand united and work for their own interests. Many see their mistake just now and to their sad dismay may be compelled to go away back and sit down. Whilst their voices are hushed in politics we doubt not that they will make the necessary amendments by accumulating property, secure education and thereby stimulating thrift and industry. The same may be applied to many of the western states, where the spirit of perseverance seems to be on the wane. Awake to the sense of your duty! United we stand, divided we fall.

At the Grand. The Grand Opera house will commence a season of continuous attractions next Sunday, October 5th, opening with the new melodramatic success, "A broken Heart!". This play will open, the run of Stair & Havlin, popuar-priced attraction that will visit the mouse this season. "A Broken Heart! is one of the strongest melodramas on the road. It is interpreted by a thoroughly uptoate company, and in the course of the play many novel specialties are introduced. Following "A Broken Heart" comes Bob Fitzsimmons, in his successful play, "The Honest Blacksmith." He is accompanied by Mrs. Fitzsimmons, herself a finished actress, and Bob Jr. by. J. Lost in New York," and that personal favorite, "Yon Yonson," entirely new and up-to-date, with a new company, come in for the week following. "A Foxy Tramp," one of the newest musical comedy successes, follows. This attraction is unique and emphasizes the tendency of the modern stage toward musical comedies, interspersed with specialties and vaudeville acts.

If you are candidates for political nominations and desire to reach the colored vote of the countw or state, the New Age, the official organ of the colored people, extends its columns for your use. We make a specialty of cuts and political cards. Sensitive Gems. The discoloration of precious stones when they have been exposed to the air for a long time is considered one of the most frequent maladies. Emeralds rubies and sapphires are those which remain intact best. Nevertheless, they are not exempt from changes. Two rubies of the same size and shade were kept for two years—one in a showcase and the other away from all light. At the end of this term a comparison revealed that the first had become somewhat lighter in color. The influence of light makes itself felt more plainly on topazes and garnets. The garnet turns much paler in a short time, while the topaz assumes a darker shade and even loses the brilliance possessed by it when freshly cut. The most sensitive stone in this respect is the opal. This stone draws its marvelous rainbow reflections from numerous little clefts, which allow the light to pass, and reflect it in different directions. Often the opal stands the manipulations of cutting and polishing well, and all of a sudden it splits. Pearsier dulcisely very easily. In the fire they are transformed into a piece of lime. Placed in contact with an acid they behave as lime or marble would under the same conditions. Diamonds are less sensitive; still, if it not prudent to take them too near the fire.-Philadelphia Inquirer. Thex Hang Out a Pincushion. In some of the cities of Holland, such as Haarlem, the birth of a child is announced to the neighbors and all who chance to pass by the curious custom of hanging a pincushion outside the door. If you walk past a house and see a white pincushion edged with lace and looking very dainty, you may understand that the number of inhabitants has been increased by one, and that one a girl. When the happy couple are blessed with a boy, the color of the pincushion is red. In Japan the people do something similar, yet more extensive. Outside the houses of a town you will see one or more paper fishes dangling and blowing in the wind. On making inquiry you are informed that the paper fishes represent the boys of the household. Every new boy means another fish. These imitations of the koi are decorated with colored silk and are thought a great deal of. The fish which the Japanese call koi is noted for its courage and tenacity, and is therefore regarded as a fitting representation of the coming man. A Purse For the Bride. Some brides may be inclined to regret that the old marriage custom of the dow purse has fallen into disuse. It was the custom of the bridegroom to fill a purse with a goodly sum of money and present it to the bride on the wedding day as the price of the purchase of her person. It sounds like slavery, like the buying of goods and chattels, yet the bride had a nice little sum of money for her own use. Some of the oldest inhabitants of Cumberland may remember a similar custom in that county. The bridegroom provided himself with a number of gold and silver pieces, and at the words "with all my worldly goods I thee endow" he handed the clergyman his fee and poured the other coins into a handkerchief held out for that purpose by the bride. In other places, again, the bride had the right to ask her husband for a gift of money or property on the day after the wedding, and he was bound in honor to grant the request.—London Answers. Manufacturing "Old Masters." How such things can be was recently learned in a rather amusing way by an American girl. Adjoining her studio while she was in Paris was one occupied by a quiet man, little known to the artists of the neighborhood, but supposed to be one of their craft. He was a diligent workman. From early morning until dark he was in his studio, and yet no models ever came, nor did he go on sketching tours. One day the usual quiet of his studio was broken by an alteration which those in the next room could not help hearing, as the voices grew louder. The uncommunicative and diligent worker was heard to say, "I want my money." Evidently the cash was not forthcoming, for the artist shouted in louder and angrier tones: "I must have some money. I have painted for you three Millets, four Rousseaus and thirteen Corots, and you have not paid me a cent since you ordered them, three weeks ago." When Snow Is Smoke. When Professor James Dewar inserted a small jet of flaming hydrogen into a vessel of liquid oxygen, the hydrogen continued to burn, giving off snow instead of smoke. The snow was formed by the instantaneous freezing of the water created by the combination of the burning hydrogen with the oxygen enclosing it. When he cooled liquid air until it became semisolid, he found he could draw the oxygen out of the mass with a magnet, leaving a jelly of pure nitrogen. Touching "Are you a married man?" inquired the inquisitive stranger. "No, sir," replied the other sadly. "Oh," said the first. "I trust you will pardon me for referring to your be-reavement. I should not have opened such a touching subject." "Touching describes it beautifully," murmured the other. "It is hard to pay $15 a week alimony."—Ohio State Journal. THE NEW AGE UNMASKING DARRO By Ewan Macpherson When Buxton, the English correspondent, called that evening on Miss Blanche Kershaw, for the fifth tie in four days, he found Darro sitting with her. The two men were introduced, and almost the first thing Buxton said as, "I suppose you spell your name like the Dereus at home—'the dauness Derreus,' they're called in my coury—D-e-r-e-u." It was dark, and the three were gathered on the porch of the Kershaw residence, where no artificial light served to reveal the breadth of the sailed with which Miss Kershaw greeted his remark. Darro was a rather undersized man, with eyeglasses, extensive college antecedents and decided literary tastes, so far as his conversation might indicate. "I certainly do not," he said in his habitual weary drawl. "Life is too short. I spell my name just as I is pronounced—D-a-r-r-o—and I am far from dauntless." "By Jove, how odd!" said Buxon. "I was rather in hopes you might turn out to be a cousin of the Derreus of Dereuely Manor. I was born in that neighborhood myself; name's pronounced exactly like yours. And there'am old rhyme dating from goodness knows when: "Brand nor halbert, lance nor arrow Checketh charge of dauntless Derreu" "Then I'm quite sure I can't be of kil." Darro persisted. "I'm afraid of everything, from Mausers to mice." The hostess laughed. "At least you ought to be ashamed to make such a confession to a Brisher, Mr. Darro. Think of our national reputation." repetition. "I do. I think it brutal. Physical courage, if it ever was a desirable quality, lost all its recommendations centuries ago." "By Jove!" Buxton exclaimed. "You must pardon me if I see a little unprepared for all this. You know I was a correspondent with your army at Santiago." "That was where you met our forceful friend Wickley," said Darro. "To whom I owe the delightful privilege of Miss Kershaw's acquaintance." "You have every reason to be grateful to Wickley; but, for all that, I consider him an American of an objectional type." All of this Miss Kershaw seemed to be enjoying in a quiet way. Then they talked of other things till Darro left them. "That's a most interesting double enigma," said Buxton. "an American and a Darro, you know." "I hope you'll stay with us until you find a solution of him. Mr. Darro's ambition to be thought timid is notorious here." "In't it a very singular ambition?" "Very. That may be the solution of the enigma." A pause, and then Buxton mustered up courage to ask, "Miss Kershaw, you couldn't—ah—feel interested in a man like that?" "I don't know. Brave men are so common with us, and, you know, I rather like exoties." Buxton hardly enjoyed the suspicion that this girl found him interesting as a rarity and that she valued the timid Darro proportionately higher as he was the rarer. Then, again, he felt ebilied at the thought that she could possibly entertain a degenerate taste for cowards. Buxton's sojourn in the place was uncertain. A wire from his chief in London might any day send him on to San Francisco or back to New York, so he made up his mind to ask Wickley about it that very night. This was easy enough, for they occupied rooms in the same hotel, but hard on Wickley, who had just fallen asleep when the Englishman's knock caused him to dream that the place was on fire. The interview was unsatisfactory to both parties. Buxton only obtaining the assurance that Darro was a crank, with a forecible recommendation to go for further information either to the man himself or to the father of all lies, while Wickley fell asleep again with the vague idea that the correspondent was preparing an article on "The American Coward." So it came about that Darro, on his way to his uncle's law office, was hallied by Wickley. "Say, Darro, you want to let up on that timidity poppycock of yours. All very well to give home folks that old song, but don't try it on an English newspaper correspondent." "I suppose you mean Buxton. Has he already told you of our conversation last night?" "Told me! He may have told it to all the English newspapers by this time. He woke me up at midnight to ask me if it were true." For a moment Darro looked pale enough for his favorite part. "Did he tell you where we met?" "Did he tell you what? "I suppose it was at Blanche Kershaw's. He seems smitten in that quarter. He and I know he was going there last night." Darro managed to recover his meek pose. "You know, Wickley, I don't think much of physical courage" "All right, then. I only hope Buxton will mention your name in his story. We don't want the whole city to get that sort of reputation." Darro was disturbed. His uncle no- ficed it when he entered the office and demanded the cause. "There's an Englishman here"—Before he could finish the door of the outer office opened, and Buxton, fresh and cheerful, entered. Darro was with him in a moment, showing a most abnormal eagerness for the meeting. "Oh, here you are!" said Buxton. "You'll pardon my coming here during business hours, won't you? I've got to start for California this evening—wire from London just reached me—but before I go I want you to tell me (we English newspaper men like to be accurate and full) where you were during the Spanish war." "I was in the law school of a western university when the war began," said Darro. "Michigan, eb? Thanks. Enlisted in the Michigan volunteers under the name of Dobbs. Remember the day you sneaked out from under cover and brought in that wounded boy when the sharpshooters were swarming in the mango trees?" Judge Mason was by this time an attentive listener to the conversation. The office boy also listened and gaped. "My name is Darro, Mr. Buxton," said the pattern of peacefulness, struggling with himself. "But it used to be Dobbs in 1898, just for a few weeks. It will make an awfully pretty story for my paper. Odd I didn't begin to think of the resemblance until"— "You're not going to put my name in the paper?" "Story won't be any good without it. Brand nor halbert"— "Before the Englishman could repeat any more of the ancient rhyme Darro had him by the throat. It might have ended in strangulation had not the others interfered. "Oh, the whole thing is clear now beyond the shadow of a doubt," said Buxton when he was saying goodbye to Blanche Kershaw that afternoon. "First I began to think of the likeness last night lying awake. When I saw him this morning, it was palpable. Then when he flew at my throat—doesn't weigh as much as I by thirty pounds—why that settled it." "For you, I dare say," said Blanche. "For me there was nothing to settle." "You never believed all that talk of his?" "Of course not. Still I, all of us, ought to be very grateful to you for unmasking him." "And what do I get?" the Englishman asked. "My sincere thanks. Sorry I have nothing better to offer." "The exposed impostor gets the higher reward? Is that justice?" "Don't know. Bob voyage!" Scott Enjoyed Being Lionized. Scott Enjoyed Being Lionized. Sir Walter Scott is an example of a great man who, so far as we can judge, enjoyed paying the penalties of his greatness even in his hour of death. He was great enough, but then he was that kind of a man, and the circumstances among which he lived were favorable. That was before the day of the penny post, of the electric telegraph, of railways and of the interviewer, and in his prime he lived at Abbotsford, which is equivalent nowadays to saying that he lived at Joppa. He seems to have been singularly free from the penalties of greatness, which have enormously increased since the Wizard of the North went home, and such of them as came in his way he seems to have heartily enjoyed. He appears now and then to have relished being turned into a rare show and to being pointed at wherever he went as Walter Scott. Indeed this being pointed at seems to have been relished by many men whose greatness was undoubted. Thackeryne seems sometimes almost to have resented not being pointed at.—All the Year Round. The Strawberry. Though history and story are alike silent as to the cultivation of the strawberry in early times, we know that the fruit was well known in England in the fifteenth century. Shakespeare has three allusions to strawberries. In "Henry V," the Bishop of Ely, in illustration of the good qualities which the young king possessed, in spite of his wild habits and objectionable companions, says: The strawberry grows underneath the nettle And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best Neighbored by fruit of baser quality. The reference here is obviously to the wild berry. But in the play of "Richard III." strawberries are spoken of as growing in the bishop of Ely's garden at Holborn, and this seems to show that the berry was cultivated with considerable care as early as the latter part of the fifteenth century, though Haydn's "Dictionary of Dates" asserts that the common strawberry was brought to England from Flanders in 1330. The hedgehog figures frequently in sylvan repasts, though he is hardly big enough to be sent to table as a piece de resistance. The primitive manner of cooking it supersedes the most costly refinements of elaborate batteries de cuisine. The elephant's foot, or rather, the slice below the pastern, which is a famous dainty in eastern hunting camps, is treated on precisely similar principles, which shows that the simplest cookery of all nations has much in common, like their folklore. Shakespeare's British hedgegip, like its cousin, the porcupine, is shrouded in a plastic tenement of clay. Then he is laid to temporary rest in a bed of smoldering cinders. When supposed to be done to a turn, the dwarf pig is dug up, and then the prickly skin is detached with the splitting of the case of clay. All the generous juices, with their bouquet, have been confined and transfused.—London Saturday Review. The Strawberry.

"I hope to live to see the day when a dream I have had will come true," said Lord Kelvin, the eminent British electrician, to the students of Columbia university in New York the other day. "I fervently hope to see the day when we shall have the transmission of electrical power over 300 miles with a voltage of 40,000. When I first talked of that fifteen years ago, I was laughed at, but with the wonderful transmission of power at Niagara Falls my dream looks to be near fulfillment in the close future." Lord Kelvin's dream is nearer fulfillment in this country than has been demonstrated at Niagara. Long distance transmission of electrical power has reached a higher development on the Pacific coast than in the east. The Bay Counties company in California is now supplying current for power purposes at 40,000 volts at a distance of 224 miles from the generator. The Snoqualmie Falls Power company is now transmitting current for power purposes fifty miles at a voltage of 30,000 and expects within a year to be supplying the territory from Portland to Vancouver, over 300 miles, at 60,000 volts. The latter plant is near Seattle and now supplies current to Seattle and Tacoma and intermediate points. Apparently while Lord Kelvin has been dreaming American electrical engineers have been hustling. Society men in Paris have formed an antipingpong league. They found that wherever they went they were expected to play the game, and it became necessary to organize for self protection. The members of the league wear a button notifying the curious that they refuse to be parties to such a "foolish, unmanly and English pastime." The adjectives are arranged according to the French ideas of climax. Foolishness to the Parisian is a venial fault; unmanliness is pretty bad, provided the Gallic definition of unmanliness obtains in the discussion, and anything English is extreme. The instinctive antipathy between English and French is ancient and enduring as rock. ```markdown ``` --- 'PHONE 75. That Fit feel more comfortable by s that fit. Clothes us.

William Inglis was a visitor at Scotch yach club on the Clyde during a regatta week, and one night he was called on for a story. Knowing he says, from books and experience the density of Scotchmen to American jokes, he told the broadest, most pointed story he could think of. It was the old chestnut of the fhebrated Irishman who met a policeman and asked him the time. the time. "Three o'clock," said the policeman. "Ol didn't hear," said the Irishman. "Three o'clock" the cop jelled. "Shure, Ol didn't hear that, either. The cop then hit him three times on the head with his club. "Did you hear that?" he asked. bear that he said Pat. "Ol heard that and Ol do be fur thinkin' it's gin' ol am that Ol didn't mate ye at twelve. There was not a ripple of apprehension on the rows of Scotch force he fore him, said Mr. Inglis.

Great Falls Department Great Falls, Mont., Sept. 26, 1902 Office of the New Age, 113 1-2 First Avenue, South. Now that the campaign is on in full blast it is worthy of note that each party, and there are parties enough for all, will contain many workers who have been absent from the scenes of political activity during the past two years, owing to grievances, which have been happily adjusted, but who have not, however, been lying dormant during the time, but have been waiting to reappear as stars of the first magnitude. One of the great parties have met during the week and have placed before the electors of this great commonwealth men who are above reproach to lead their forces during the campaign, while today in our beautiful city the delegates of the other great party are deliberating wisely and cautiously to select men to head their ticket, whom they expect and are confident will lead them on to victory. In reviewing the history of these two great parties in this state we are forced to ask the question, which have done more for their brothers in black? To which does the negro voter of this commonwealth owe their allegiance? On the other hand, have we, as voters Although numerically a few, still holding the balance of power in some of our cities, which will shatter the hopes or place in power the candidate to whom they give their support. Have we ever gone to either one of these parties and demanded representation in municipal or state offices. The campaign this year is to determine whether the judiciary of this state is to be prostituted or whether it is to remain chaste and pure, where all, regardless of race, color or previous condition, will receive a fair and impartial trial of their cases, whether a man worth millions of dollars is in dispute, or the rights of the humblest laborer is the bone of contention. Hence, this election is one of vital importance to the necro. We should not let personal feelings for some of the candidates deter us from doing our duty. We should and must be guided solely by principle. Let us awake from our legarthy to the importance of this coming fight. Let us organize all over the state an let us administer by that God-given right, the ballot, to our enemies next November, such a rebuke that they will ever remember that the negro is a factor in politics, in this beautiful state of ours. The members of the A. M. E. church are about to send out tracers to locate their minister, who attended conference in Colorado some weeks ago, and who was reappointed to this charge for another year, but up to the present has failed to return or let his members know his whereabouts. Mr. John T. Dowell, our genial tonal artist, who has been confined to his bed for several weeks, again on duty, smiling saving. U. R. Next. Mrs. Dowell, however, is still enjoying a visit of her old enemy, the rheumatism. Mrs. M. M. Griffin departed during the week to take up her residence in the prosperous mining camp of Kendall.

He had stread in hoping for temporary release from his bitter thoughts, but the quiet of the place only seemed to rouse is brain to greater activity. Yet he ced not think of his story, the story already due at the publisher's. Instead he saw only a girl's face, now swat and gracious as it had been before a quarrel, now cold and repellent as he past two weeks had shown it. A strain of music broke the silence. The choir was filing in. Hastis glanced carelessly at the white roid procession. The face of the first ly caught his attention for a moment, virtuous, spiritual, framed in an aureolef golden hair, an ideal face for a chr boy.

That was the maddening part of it. She live just across the hall, so he must sit her many times a day. He had mae up his mind to move. But, then, he had such a beastly lot of traps, or perhaps it was some lingering hope ttt kept him there. Some familiar chords on the orgn started him. Was it the offertory ready? Yes, and the ideal choir by was singing alone. His handsome fee was fushed, and in his earnestness waved his sheet of music gently to and fro. "Oh, rest in the Lord," he sang. Hastings leaned forward. The wors were apparently for him. The absolute certainty of the boy's tones eried conviction. "And he shall give thee thy hears desire." The tender voice went straight to man's heart and comforted him. Ys, he, too, would wait patiently and perhaps some day he, too, would have is heart's desire. Till then he would wilt and work. The next two weeks went by very differently. Under the press of a new enthusiasm the book seemed to wriet itself. The last sheet had gone in o the publisher, and he had always won a smile when he met the girl on te stairs. Her bow was still as freezing, but only he smiled again and hummed the few bars from "Elijah." "And e shall give thee thy heart's desire." Again Hastings sat in the little church. Perhaps his choir boy would sing for him; but the figure of the small leader drooped. In the glare of the choir lights his face showed while and haggard, while his eyes were swollen from weeping. A wave of ploy went over the watching man. It might now be his turn to comfort. The sweet soprano voice was low and broken. Hastings determined to find te meaning of the change. So he lingered after the service, and a kind faced qrate told him the sad little story. "You mean Jack Halnes? He his just lost his mother—consumption—and the poor little fellow is left all alone. He is being cared for by neighbors, but we must find him a place n some charity school." That delicate child in a charly school! Hastings could not bear te thought of it. The face of the child and his own loneliness helped him o come to a sudden resolution. His voice was very eager as he said. "Lt me have him." And so Jack came to live in the big studio building. Slowly the roses came back to his cheeks. He did not forget the pretty mother who had gone to sleep so quietly, but he haunted this new big brother like a shadow and crept into his arms to cry away the grief that time was trying to heal. But it worried Hastings that the lad should be so solemn. When he came in and found the boy poring over some big book, he would half laughingly scold him for turning into such a little bookworm. "You need some one to play with, Jack," he would say. "It is bad for you to always be cooped up Ey Garfield MacNeal with an old fellow like me." Tom was only thirty, but somehow he had felt very old and settled since that night. But Jack always declared that he didn't want to be with any one else, and he was such a shy child that Hastings forbore to press the point. He was therefore much surprised one afternoon, on coming in, to find the rooms empty. Where could Jack be? As the minutes went by, bringing no boy, he became really anxious. The janitor had not seen him. He was returning from fruitless inquiries when he stopped short at a burst of childish laughter. Could it be Jack? He never laughed like that. But, yes, it was his voice, and it came from the girl's rooms. Hastings hesitated. And now the girl laughed. It was the same saucy little laugh he had loved so much in the days gone by. It decided him. She had stolen his property and should answer for the theft. He knocked boldly on the door. Silence. He knocked again. Evidently they did not hear him. So he turned the knob and entered the forbidden chamber. Surprising sight! On the floor in true Turkish style sat the stately Miss Trevor. On her lap were a big sheet of cardboard and sunny brushes and paints. Her hair was disheveled, and several daubs of color ornamented her cheeks and nose. Over her shoulder in a state of great excitement leaned the trunt. Hastings hardly knew him. His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were dancing as he cried. "Now, that is the way the little monkey swung off by his tail!" His cheek was pressed close to the girl's, and his arm rested lovingly on her shoulder. Evidently she had won his heart too. Hastings felt a swift pang of jealousy and started forward. Then they heard him, and Jack sprang up with a cry of delight. The girl was too loaded down to rise, and so she sat there. Perhaps it was the sudden flood of color to her cheeks, perhaps it was the upward glance of her eyes; at any rate, a sudden light came to Hastings. For a moment he stood there blinded, dazed. Then his customary coolness came to his aid. It was his turn to carry things with a high hand, and he must make the most of it. His eyes challenged hers as he said: "How long have you been a receiver of stolen goods, Miss Trevor? I am glad to see that you have the grace to blush for your sins, even under your paint." Jack was quite shocked. "She did not steal me," he protested. "I was onely, and I was waiting for you in the hall, and she asked me to come in, and I came, and we've had a beautiful time." he added in a joyous outburst. "That's just as bad," Hastings answered severely. "You mean to say that she enticed you in here." Jack was speechless. The girl had said nothing. "You might at least invite me to sit down, since you are so comfortable," Hastings went on, "and let me join in the beautiful time; though I don't know, on second thoughts, that it isn't pleasanter standing. It is so unusual to see you at my feet." Miss Trevor started to scramble up, but two strong hands lifted her gently into a big chair. It was a new experience to her to be either commanded or helped. But she did not seem to mind it nor to notice that he was still holding her hands. Both had forgotten Jack as Hastings bent over her and asked, "Are you glad that I have come?" Jack is delighted with it all, but he never will understand why Tom always calls the girl "Heart's Desire" when her name is Alice. The Charm of the Suburbs. The Charm of the Suburbs. The suburbanite cannot get everything, but he takes what he can get. Even as things are he can get a good deal. Half an hour's railway journey—an hour spent in the train out of the day of twenty-four—brings him down to a road of gardens instead of a road of houses. The gardens are small, no doubt, as the houses are small, but the gardens are there. Within the next few years the engineer will run his electric railways and tramways to pass within a hundred yards of his door, and he will be transported quietly, quickly and cleanly from his suburban garden, his trees and his pure air to the telephones of the office, and quietly, quickly and cleanly back again. It is only the lack of facilities of transport which prevents him even now from enjoying to the full all that the out of town dweller enjoys. When these facilities increase, as they will increase, the word "suburb" will, of course, mean more. But meanwhile he is in the right place. He should not be afraid of the word "suburban."—London Spectator. The English Peerage. Not one representative in the male line of any one of the barons who signed Magna Charta now sits in the house of lords, while, although many of the earliest Knights of the Garter were subjects of the English king as feudal lords in his possessions in the south of France, not a single title in the peerage is taken from any place south of the Loire, and two French duchies, three principalities of the holy Roman empire, one or two imperial countships and the Spanish, Portuguese and Netherlands titles held by the Dukes of Wellington and Portland and Lords Albermarle and Clancarty probably all but exhaust the list of foreign honors held by any persons in the British peerage. Our monarchs, as Queen Elizabeth once said, have always preferred to decorate their own dogs with their own collars, and perhaps the results are to be commended. After all, as Talleyrand remarked, Lord Castlereigle, who was undecorated, looked the most distinguished man at the congress of Vienna.-Notes and Queries. He was a very youthful looking man and wore a natty opera hat and a lengthy raglan which caused him to be the cynosure of all eyes in the Archb street trolley car. It was probably the first time that he had ever worn a dress suit, and as he walked into the car his painful embarrassment was noticeable. Many smiles fitted across the passengers' features, and the young fellow noticed each one and blushed deeply. But more trouble was in store. At Seventeenth street two red faced servant girls boarded the car. They crowded into a seat and began to talk volubly. "Yis," said one, "th' mistrust give me a ould wrapper, an' sh"— She paused here as her wandering eye rested on the conspicuous young man in the corner. "Say, Ellen." she said loudly and with a giggle, "how would you like that for a feller?" The young man left the car hurried before it had reached the street where he wished to alight.—Philadelphia Telegraph. How to Lie When Sleeping. The correct posture for sleep is to lie on the right side, with the limbs stretched out to their full length and the arms either straight down by the body or in any comfortable position provided they are not raised above the head. The mouth should be closed, and all the muscles of the body should be relaxed. The lungs work with greater deliberation during the hours of sleep, and if the arms are raised above the head at this time and for any period the action of the heart drives the blood away from the arms and sends it to the head, frequently making one very restless when it does not prevent sleep entirely.
