TOPEKA PLAINDEALER HISTORICAL BOOKS FEDERAL HOUSE VOLUME XI. OLD WORLD NEWS! OLD WORLD NEWS! (From Our Own Correspondent.) At Hamburg Germany, Feb. 31, one hundred years ago, was born Felix Mendelssohn (Barthody), the great composer. Musical Festivals commemorating this fact are now being held in all the musical centers of Europe. Your correspondent had the good fortune a few days ago to visit the house in which the famous composer lived during one of his visits to London, and where it is said that he wrote the popular "Spring Song". He died at Leipzig, November 1, 1817 More facts have come to light regarding the fitting on a German liner by the Liberian gunboat, Lark. Among the passengers who were landed at Plymouth last week, from the African liner Aro, was F L M Somerville, late chief officer of the Liberian gunboat. He stated that he joined the Lark, commanded by Captain Bugge, six months ago The vessel was employed by the Liberian government to patrol the coast to prevent smuggling. The custom had been that when a suspected vessel was within the three miles limit she was signalled to heave to for inspection of her papers. If the vessel did not obey the order a blank shot was fired, and if no notice was taken a live shot was fired across her bows. During the time Mr Somerville was in the Lark half a dozen English and two German vessels were fired on Mr Somerville was on the bridge with the captain. It was night but a flash of lightning disclosed a large steamer within the prohibited area. The usual signals were unheeded, and it was decided to fire a live shot. Mr Somerville himself aimed the gun, so that the missile should go over the vessel. Although the Germans allege that the steamer was struck, Mr Somerville was certain it was not. A heavy rainstorm came on and the Lark did not see the vessel again. A very interesting note comes from Birmingham, England, telling of the refusing of the licensing missions to renew a license to an American manager of a skating rink, who some weeks ago refused admittance to an African student of Birmingham University, solely on account of color. The licensing chairman states that the license will not be renewed until the American apologizes and promises to admit everybody of good behavior, irrespective of color, nationality or creed. Hon. James Peterson, the well known Negro politician of Mobile, Ala, who is an official in the Mobile postoffice, is expected in London soon, and will make a tour of Europe before returning to America. The "Old World" seems to be having more than its share of disasters this year. The dreadful earthquake at Mossina, followed by floods in January; now another great earthquake is reported from Peru with 1000 killed and today's dispatches report an explosion in a Welch coal mine, entombing 140 men with little prospects of any of them escaping death. Some things TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. 5, 1909. SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION OF SEN. FORAKER. seem to be worse than war among the European powers. With so much "war talk" in America with regard to Japan it will be interesting to note a recent interview given of Dr. Sven Hedin, the noted traveller and lecturer. Dr. Hedin says in speaking of Japan: "Wonderful country! Wide awake, lovable joyful people How old, exhausted and grey life is in the other countries of Asia compared to that of the land of the rising sun, where every man goes to work silently and dutifully, and the women smile even when the rain is coming down in streams from the dull grey heavens. A fact that has often struck one is how little the Japanese think of the men who quite recently have written the history of the world with the port of their swords or the fire from their cannon. A month ago when we visited the Shio to temple, raised to the memory of the hero, Kusuncho, in Kobi, many of my friends said that when Admiral Tojo dies such a temple is sure to be raised to him. But if, on the other hand, one expresses one's profound admiration of such men, hardly any one agrees and for the reason that they consider that these men have only done their duty, that the fulfillment of duty is the most natural thing in the world and not worth writing words over. Washington March 3.—In appreciation of his efforts in behalf of the discharged Brownsville battalion the Negro at home of Washington will present to Senator Foraker on next Friday a massive solid silver loving cup.

DEAR EDITOR: You asked me to give you conditions in Florida just as I see them. In the first place, prosperity among the people of color is astonishing, especially in Jacksonville and St. Augustine. We find many beautiful homes and in every respect modern, and in some instances located in the choices localities, many alongside of their brother in white. The merchants, tradesmen, livery men, bankers, (two of them in Jacksonville) attorneys at law and doctors seem to be doing satisfactory business. Another thing that surprises me is the recognition by the press of the worth and influence of our people. The accomplishments and drawings of the race in general from the different parts of the state are reported daily in Jacksonville, many of the things reported giving inspiration and courage wherever read, Again, if there are strained relations between the races it is difficult to discover it, as there seems to be a disposition to assist each other in the way of life, especially in securing homes and in business matters generally. It is nothing strange to hear a man say that he can get what money he needs on his own note. In St. Augustine, to my personal knowledge, there is only one drug store where the colored and white we not treated alike when they desire to refresh themselves by eating ice cream or drinking soda water. The proprietors of these places put themselves out of the way to be kind and accommodating. Dr. D. W. Roberts, a gentleman of color, is one of the leading physicians in the city. Upon several occasions he has kindly taken me out for a drive when visiting his patients, and again, to my surprise, some of them are among the best white families in the city and in the hospital for the whites. Upon one occasion we went to the country, something over five miles. If I remember correctly he made three calls and all were white. The doctor has a well equipped hospital of his own, and in it are often found persons of both races. He is compelled to keep three strong horses on account of his large practice. Leaders of our tree say that the conditions found in Jacksonville and St. Augustine exist throughout the state. On the other hand, we have the famous Jim Crow car on the standard railways, also on the street car lines. For this reason, we have not accommodated ourselves to the use of the street cars since being in the state, but have been forced to travel in one end of the biggage cars prepared for colored people. They also have separate waiting rooms at railway stations and separate windows for us to purchase tickets for travel, so that if there is only one man or woman of color they are shown in the place prepared for them under the state law. These are some of the things just as they appear to me. Faithfully, A. GRANT. EDITOR BOOSTS NEIGHBORS. THE STATE MAN, THE GREATEST COLORED NEW-PALER IN THE ROCKY M. PRAIN COUNTRY C. A.
