LINCOLN AS A LOVER His Courtship of Annie Rutledge at New Salem in 1835. SORROW OVER HER DEATH Mrs. Prewitt, a Surviving Sister, Tells a Pathetic Story. Denciles Lincoln's Affection for Annie and Hila Conduet at the Rut- ledge Home. FAIRFIELD, town, Feb. 10. Mrs. Nancy Rutledge Prewitt, to whose sister, Annie Rut- ledge, the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, was engaged to be married, gives an interesting account of the latter's first love affair and curiosity. Mrs. Prewitt, a well-preserved woman of 65, visited relatives who still live in the vicinity of New Salem, Ill., last summer, formed to take her to the many places of interest. There is no town where New Salem once stood, it having been moved to Peters- burg, a place away from where she visited the old mill site, and the many well-remembered places. Only a few crumbling logs mark the location where Lincoln went stool, she also visited the Lincoln monument at Spring- field, and saw the relics gathered there, among which she mentions the old saddle- road. "I was only a child when he boarded at our house in New Salem," he said, "and yet I remember him talking and talked, as well as if it were not today, you said, "Honestly? Yes, I just suppose he was, but I never thought of that then. I remember I told him, I am unlucky figurine, big ears but I never talked to him, he talked to never thought of that. He was so good-natured and full of life and fun, and everybody loved him so well that they never thought of him. He was sitting, looked at the big, old-fashioned fireplace, absorbed in a book or chatting merrily with Amira or one of my friends. He al- "Once when we was sitting alone before the fire, the rest of the family being at supper, Mr. Lincoln came stalking in at the door, and I was looking at him, and I was looking at me teasingly, sang: "It was the only time I ever felt offended at him, and although I did not just understated what he meant by the words, his quizzical tone and his up and left the room, feeling very much embarrassed." The queer song, I said. "I do not wonder that it puzzled and annoyed you." "Yes, it is queer, but that is it word for it," she said. And Amble used to sing that and many other songs together, and Mrs. Preswitt showed me an old green-backed singing-sock called "The Song," and many other words. The song is entitled "Legacy." The book was used in singing-schools fifty or eighty years ago, and has many of our old songs. "The Beautiful City of Zion" and "When Shepherds Watched O'er Their Floors by Night," the only quintet love that I noticed. "What funny notes," I remarked. Some were called patent notes, and some triangular, and some diamond shaped. "Yes," continued Mrs. Preswitt, "they were called patent notes." And that she habitually spoke of him as Mr. Lincoln, I said: "I suppose you called him Abe 'then'." Did not do much more of our neighbors' old songs, but that we must not address any one outside of our own family so familiarly. They see her delicate face and manner and hearing her any this, would conclude at once and used to sing a refined, intelligent, and well-fitted girl. Tragedy in Herndon Family. "Sister Annie," continued Mrs. Prewitt, "was small, with dark blue eyes, light brown hair, and very fair skin. She every one said she is a girl. She is the girl in my family and very housewife and domestic. I have seen Lincoln help her about Hiking or something requiring attention to do. He went at it awkwardly, but always jakoed her. He never forgot, because of the tragedy connected with it. My mother has since told me that in a ramp and scuffle, the night before Mr. Herndon asked me to help him, occupied the same bed, had broken the bedpost and the former said he must help him. They were engaged in repairing damages when they found needed a wrench and sent me to Row Herndon's, our near-the-middle house, where Mr. Herndon was loading his gun to go hunting, and in getting ready to go out his gun was accidentally discharged, and his right arm was shot right through the neck. I saw the blood on his clothing. I flutter for a moment; I flew out of the house and hurried home and told Annie and Mr. Lincoln what had happened. I can never forget: how she and shocked they looked, after how she so merry over their work just a few minutes ago. "You have, doubtless heard, of the grammar that Lincoln heard of and walked six miles to buy. I studied that very grammar afterward, when I went to school; Lincoln and Armitage studied it together, and he gave it to her, and it then descended to my brother, and then to me. It was an old Kirkham, the hardest grammar, I think, that anybody ever studied. I always kept it, and it was in my mind that I should have been a little better at reading, went to Springfield to assist at Lincoln's burial. He wrote to me for it, as they were collecting Lincoln relics for that occasion. My brother's family has it now. Many a time have I seen Lincoln walking along the street studying that grammar. I have seen him, when apparently engrossed in study, pick up my youngest brother, tuck him under one long arm, and with the book in the other hand plod along unconcernedly repeating sentences, after a short selling and kicking vigorously. That he had just discovered that he had a boy under his arm, walking off with him. Every child in New Salem loved him and enjoyed his quaint jokes and pranks as thoroughly as he himself seemed to. He used to have "Billy" Green, his partner in the store, hold the grammar of an evening, while he recited rules, and after he was elected President he did not forget his friend of former years, but did not forget his friend of his son, his son and the dignified Secretary Seward on his right. Lincoln presented the two men to each other, saying, "Secretary Seward, this is Mr. Green of Illinois." Seward bowed stiffly when Lincoln exclaimed: "Oh, get up, Seward, and shake hands with Green; he's the man that taught me my grammar." Death of Annie Rutledge. "Many of the things which have been written about Annie are not true. One of them is that she died of a broken heart. cause or a former lover's desertion. She was engaged to John McNell or -McNamara that he married her. He was an excellent young man, but his father having failed in business in the East, the son, feeling mortified at the mistreatment, came West and changed his life. He wanted his identity to be known. In 1832 he left New Salem on horseback to visit his father, who had been his one letter from him after he arrived there telling of his father's death, which had deceived him. He did not return. Her family and friends thought perhaps he was not worthy; his change of name being a suspicious circumstance. That, however, was proven to be true. He was married to her death and satisfactorily explained his absence and protested his love for Annie, so begged my mother for some article which had been hers for a moment. He lived and died. "In the meantime, however, Annie and Mr. Lincoln were__constantly=thrown together, and he declared his love and was accepted, for he had been affectionate with her she had ever felt for Mr. McNamar. No one could have seen them together and not be convinced that they were affectionate. Mr. Lincoln was married, but decided to wait a year, as Annie wanted to go to school an longer, and though Lincoln was beginning to have a life of his own, he wished to better equip themselves for the position they would eventually occupy. "Then Annie was taken sick and the doctor said he was not sure whether he diagnosed it correctly or not, for several other people in the neighborhood had the same fever, but I am sure he was not caused by a broken heart or discharged." Loat Interview with Lincoln "When she realised that she could not get well she wanted to see Lincoln and brother Lincoln in the store, and she went to the village. Bowling Green a brother of Lincoln's former partner in the store, was sent to tell her what he wanted. Our cousin, was sent for David. I can never forget how bad and heartened Lincoln looked when he came out of the room from the store. He was said what was said at that meeting, for they were alone together, except that he told a friend what he was going to do and upright life, and I have always tried to do so, he said that Lincoln was insane with grief for a year after Annie's death. I do not remember as to that, but I think Bowling Green took him to his house and kept him there. I have read that they did not dare to allow him to have a knife or razor at that time, but they were intimate friends, and they were intimate friends with him as long as he was there. There are so many things he did, but I don't know. Mrs. Prewitt showed me the old family Bible which belonged to her father. The brown leather back was scrapped, the leaves were worn with frequent handling and were yellow with age. I turned to the births, and read: "Annie Maye Rutledge, born January seventh, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen," and to the deaths and found, in the same hand, that of her father, "Annie Maye Rutledge, died August twenty-fifth, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-five." It was plainly and legibly written, although the ink is getting faded and dim. Between the leaves of the Bible I also found a letter from David Rutledge to "My dear sister Annie," saying that he had heard by a former letter from home that she was contemplating coming to Jacksonville to the same school that he was then attending, and urging her to "do so without further delay, and not neglect the fleeting moments." It was dated a short time before Lincoln Broken with Grief Margaret. Prewitt tells me that there is no picture of "Sister Amble, for people did not have these small records and a sad, sweet memory of her in the affections of her sister are all that now remains of the one whom Lincoln loved her. She was a woman, "My heart lies buried with that girl." He was so affected by her death that he often used to say: "I can never be reconciled to her." Margaret's grave. He had passed through this great grief he often would repeat that poem or death which begins with. "Oh, why should he be moral be proud." MARGARET FLINN An Offer to Renew.

State street at the hour when the剧院 is discharging their audiences, and noticed a handmade and stylish clad woman advancing. He placed himself in her path, and when she stepped out of the door, the剧院 unintelligible remark. The woman paid no attention, and the young man followed her, cougling insinuating, and giving expression to a variety of sounds to attract her attention. A group of well-dressed, middle-aged men good conversing at the theater approached. He the woman turned in and in a tone just loud enough to be heard by the group, she said to the young man, after surveying him calmly "You have been at considerable paths to attaining the grim, half-hearted and half-perfect." "Evidently," she continued, "you imagine I might encourage your advances. Now you appear to be confident in appearance that indicates I would tolerate you for an instant. I am fairly good-looking, and I am dressed. You on the other hand, are far from preprocessing. One glance at your face reveals your dwarfed mind.

You suggested to you that I might admire that sort of thing." He stood half dazed. He suddenly realized that his answer was being awaited by a breathless and grimming auditionist, and increased the original group in front of the hotel. He made a break to go away, his face flushed crimson, but one of the grasped him by the arm and detained him. "No, you don't," said he. "Not till you've answered the lady's question. "Let me go.

Def President Lincoln's relations with the Generals of the army in army during the civil war furnish material for an interesting chapter in the military history of the United States. It was several months after the war between the generals, and it was a much longer time, in fact, than the entire war has covered, before Mr. Lincoln found it necessary to assert himself as commander-in-chief, and take the 'military reins in his hands and to issue orders directing movements. He chrank at first from any such person, and then firmly owned him, he knew nothing about him, but he did want to embarrass his Generals. He was made the more sensitive on this point. AMN STATUE FOR MUSKEGO together with a bronze statue of Admiral Perry to the left 5 feet 4 inches in height; and the pedestal will be of gris e of honor at the autumn exhibition of the Academy of because the first great battle of the war—that of Bull Run, an unfortunate disaster—was the victory of the commander-in-chief of the army, General Scott. For several months after Bull Run the President gave no direct orders, and he insisted that he should his Generals of what he called "suggestions." It was fully six months after he appointed McClellan to the command of the Army of the Confederacy, and he insisted to issue a declare order for that General to move. If one will try to picture McClellan's response, he happened last spring if he was on an army of nearly 200,000 men lying within twenty miles or so of the Confederacy, for fully three months after he had not ordered its General to attack he will have an idea of what Mr. Lincoln before he compelled McClellan to Mr. Lincoln stood all the angry pressure of the country because he thought McClellan could be the best man to begin to doubt this he would make an order to advance until he had practically mastered the whole subject of military tactics. No man had ever before Lincoln did himself as he commander-in-chief. He crammed on his helmet and elevated himself. He knew what army down to the last man. He studied maps as von Moltke did, down to the smallest and elevation. He summoned every military officer and asked questions until the expert's heart spun and he went away wondering how the man had learned so much of the subject. He summoned the general before he would order McClellan to advance. Kindly Rebuke to Hooker. Even after he began to give positive answers he allowed the largest latitude in their exercise to accompany with his Generals. He office as Defective Page commander-in-chief seems to have aroused a kind of paternal feeling in him toward all men, and he must be kind and just to them. Again and again this feeling came out. Nothing kinder and more pleasant time than the letter which the President sent General Hooker in January, to a subordinate officer, to the commander of the army he commanded.

Yours very truly. The Rosecrans-Grant Trouble. Hooker had a manly heart, and the President's words appealed to the best that was in him. Noah Brooks tells how he heard the General read the letter soon after its receipt. "He finished reading it," writes Brooks, "almost with tears in his eyes; and as he folded it and put it back in the breast of his coat he said: 'That is just such a letter as a father might write as a letter.' He was so much as I think he was harder on me than I deserved. I will say that I love the man who wrote it." Throughout the war Mr. Lincoln was beset by his Generals to right their wrongs and gratify their ambitions. He was quick to see the motives at the bottom of complaints and pleas, and when he thought them petty he bluntly said so, at the same time reminding the applicants that winning battles, not haggling for honors, was a soldier's business just then. Thus in March, 1883, Rosecrane became a general of the Army, and he wrote Lincoln asking that his commission be dated earlier. Lincoln at once saw the reason of the request, and he replied: "Now as to your request that your commission should date from December, 1861. Of course you expected to gain something by this; but you should remember that precisely so much as you should gain by it others would lose by it. If the thing you sought had been exclusively ours, we would have given it cheerfully; but being the right of the General, having merely arbitrary power over it, the taking it from them and giving it to you becomes a morsel delicate matter and more deserving of consideration. Truth, to speak, I do not appreciate this matter of rank on paper as you officers do. --- world will not forget that you fought the battle of Stone river, and it will never care if you judge you rank General Grant on paper. When it happened, as it sometimes did, that the jealousies between Generals became open conflicts, and Lincoln was called upon to help. He was also hesitated to refuse if he felt that his interference would compete matters. Generally he managed to put into his refusal a word to General McCleary, who had saved the country much disagreeable scandal and often would have saved the concession. He also suffered a cold occurred in January, 1883, when McCleary and Hallock were having trouble and McClerand appealed to Lincoln. The President "I have too many family universities, ce to speak, already on my hands to voluntarily, or so long as I can avoid it, take up another country, and well for yourself—much better you could possibly be if engaged in open wielding with General Hallack. Allow me to begin that, for your sake, for my sake, and for the country's sake, you give your whole attention." How Lincoln Wrote Letters. It would not be difficult to extend these quotations to great length, for throughout the war the President showed the same patience and good sense in showing that he might be useful. He never spared those to whom he wrote; he never beaten his motives, but he did it with an insight and a great heartedness which softened unreasoning and impatiens and for the time that he had motives, but he did it with a wiser man. Though he wrote so large a number of these letters of counsel, he never wrote to his own officers, giving unsought advice, and only when he felt his duty did he write. Even after he had written to him, he longed to the war Department secured an admirable letter of good counsel to General David Hunter, who was disassured with his place in the West and was inundating him with what Mr. Lincoln called "ugly letter," and in question General Hunter had written. The President's reply to my "ugly letter," then, and when finally sent was by a special conveyance, with the direction that it was only to be given to me when I was in a good There is in existence a draft of a letter dated Sept. 25, 1863, and addressed to General A. E. Burnside, in which Lincoln reviews the letter and makes it to move to the aid of Rosemary, then up in Chattanooga, and his steady move writes the letter to the president, who write the message he evidently felt that Burnside's own reports were the severest witnesses against him, for in his opening sentence he declared Burnside's conduct was unacceptable to his dreaming. "Yet, justified as he undoubtedly felt he was when he wrote the letter, he never sent it. He held it, hoping, as he always did, that it would be a necessary and unnecessary. The events of the next t., weeks outlawed this particular document, and it exists today simply as a proof of Lincoln's willingness to criticise and advise unnecessarily. Saycasm for General McClellan Although so uniformly kind even in his rebuke, there is more than one case on record where President Lincoln's patience failed and he sent a telegram of bitter sarcasm to a General. Such was his message to McClellan on Oct. 24, 1862, when that General, after five idle weeks, refused to pursue the enemy because his cavalry horses had sore tongues. It was a drop too much for Lincoln. "I have just read your dispatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses," he wired. "Will you not pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the battle of Antleam that fatigues anything?" Yet even for this telegram he half apol- "Most certainly I intend no injustice to any, and if I have done any I deeply regret it. To be told, after more than five weeks' total inaction of the army, and during which period we have sent to the army every fresh horse we possibly could, amounting in the whole to 7,918, that the cavalry horses were too much fatigued to move, presents a very cheerless, almost hopeless, prospect for the future, and it may have forced something of impatience in my dispatch." One pleasant feature of Mr. Lincoln's relations to his Generals was the heartiness with which he acknowledged every advance. "God bless you and your army," was the gist of many a telegram, many a verbal message which he sent. Perhaps of all these congratulatory messages none is pleasanter reading in the light of later events than the President's letter to General Grant after Vicksburg. In a way it may be called Lincoln's first recognition of Grant: "Major General Grant—My Dear General: I do not remember that you were here more than a few days before fulawcknowledgment for the almost inestimable service you provided to the worther. When you first reached the velocity of Vicksburg, I thought you should do what you finally did—march the troops across the river, and then the transports, and thus go below; and I never had any faith, except a general that you trusted. I believed that you could petition and the like could succeed. When you got below and took Port Gibson Island, you were down the River and join General Banks, and down the Black. I leared it was a mistake. I now wish to make the personal acknowledgment that you were right and I was written to the Black. LINGOLY." Comparatively little of these close relations of Lincoln with his Generals was known to the public during the war. It was not until twenty years after his death, when his secretaries, Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, published their great work, which must remain through all the years of his service, is known for the history of Abraham Lincoln's life, kind letters were given to the public. IDA M. TARBELL What the Boers Are Fighting For. Kansas City Star: There are plenty of sentimental reasons for sympathizing with the Boers without resorting to claptrap. The Boers are fighting to prevent the strangers from pulling the gables by securing citizenship and outvoting them and changing Boer customs to English customs. They are not fighting for republicanism, but for oligarchy. They are not fighting for democracy, but to retain their identity by denying democracy to the stranger. They are, indeed, fighting for home rule, but for home rule by native exclusivity. They are fighting for the rule but a ballot for Dutch. They are truly fighting for love of home against love of gold, but not for freedom, because freedom means equality of rights. They are not fighting for any church except for the Dutch Reformed church, and they are not fighting for free institutions in the American sense. The Boers are fighting for the rights of the first possessed of thems, and are fighting to be left alone and against foreign interference. These are the plain facts, and they cannot be successfully controverted.

When it was reported to President Lincoln that his brother-in-law had performed this durability and bravery, he asked what he would do about it, he replied, "I would have to hang him—when we catch him." Major White later performed many distinguished military and civil services for the It was while Mr. White was attending college at Lexington, Ky., that he met and fell in love with Mattie Todd, the sister of Mrs. Lincoln. One summer White went with a brother of Mattie Todd and another friend to pass his vacation at the Todd mansion. The distance was only twenty-eight miles, but the train was four hours in making the trip. To add to the discomfort, one of the party was crowded on a bench occupied by an awkward looking countryman, all wife and two children. The children whined and cried nearly all the way. On reaching the Frankfort home, they started to recount their experiences on the train. "I was screened all the way by a couple of squalling babies," said one. "The father of them was the agilest white man I ever saw, and the children were the crossest brats I have seen." One Child Was Robert Lincoln: There was an interruption, a turning of heads, and the gaint, ugly passenger, wife and children, came into the room his arms in the air.

After his marriage Major White settled at Selma, Ala., where he inherited a property from his father. At girl Martin, he was the favorite of Lincoln. At the time of the inauguration in company with her husband, she stopped at the White House.

He twice trembled with emotion as he told the destruction of his property during the war, and then he reverted to the history of some of the men who grew to be popular Queer Story About Logan. Speaking of the late John A. Logan, he said: "I think of nothing more strange than the somersault of the famous General Logan. After gaining distinction in the Mexican war he had settled in Kentucky. His sentiments were ultra-Southern and aided him greatly in securing the preferment which was his for the asking in Kentucky. After Beauregard fired on Sumter, Logan began to organize secretly a force of men in Southern Illinois and Kentucky, to rendezvous in Mississippi under the Confederate flag. Quite a number of these men assembled at a point near Corinth, and while they waited there to be joined by their General, with the main body, which, it was understood, Logan would bring with him, word was brought that he had accepted a commission under the Governor of Illinois, and the deluded men were obliged to shift for themselves. "I believe this chapter of Logan's life has not appeared in print, but I have the facts on the authority of some of the men who joined his party and other indubitable testimony, I believe," he said.

THE APPEAL, St Paul Minn. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1900. We very much deplore the manner of the death of Gov. (?) Wm. Goebel in Kentucky, but the author of such an iniquitous election law as he concocted deserved some sort of very severe punishment. And if, as it seemed, he would not get punished by his fellow men, it may be possible that the Ruler of the Universe—a just God—set His irrevocable seal of condemnation upon him. This thought is based upon the theory that Goebel came to his death from political opponents, which is doubted. And, on the other hand, if his death was the outcome of his killing of Sanford, it still might be God's judgment, for does His word not say, "The man who slays his fellow man by the hand of man shall be slain?" Peace at any price is preferable to war, in most cases, and we are very glad to see that peace once again hovers over Kentucky's capital although it has cost the Republican party the state officers its voters elected last fall. The Southern people are continually talking about their desire to get rid of the "worthless" Afro-Americans, but let anyone go South and try to induce members of the race to leave and he'll soon find it a very warm portion of the earth's surface. One W. A. Williams, a white emigration agent, who has induced 2,000 Afro-Americans to leave Greene and Morgan counties, Georgia, is now in jail at Madison, Ga., as a measure of safety, as a mob of farmers have threatened his life. As a matter of fact, the farm labor of the South is nearly all done by Afro-American labor. The farmers may mistreat, rob and murder their dark-skinned laborers but they do not wish them to leave. Things are getting warm down in North Carolina. At one time the fight over the suffrage amendment seemed hopeless, as the Democrats are in control of the voting precincts, but now the white Republicans, the Afro-American Republicans and the Populists have comounded to defeat it and are determined not to be defrauded even if it is necessary to fight the devil with fire. The election takes place in August. The suffrage amendment is a Democratic measure to disfranchise the Afro-American. The good effect of thorough discipline was shown in the admirable manner in which the pupils of Sumner high school, St. Louis, were gotten out of the burning building a few days ago. There was no panic; every one, under the guidance of the principal and his assistants, gathered up their belongings and marched from the three-story building in good order. The building was damaged to the extent of $10,000, which will be temporarily repaired. The Mississippi legislature is getting ready to pass an unjust measure to divide the school fund between the whites and Afro-Americans in proportion to the amount of taxes each class pays. The result of this will be to deprive nine-tenths of the Afro-Americans of all educational privileges and thus by increasing the ignorance among them to practically disfranchise the race. The annual Tuskegee Afro-American conference, which has been so productive of good among the people of the South, will be held at Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 21 and 22, under the auspices of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute. The meeting promises to be largely attended by representative people from most of the Southern states. The Tuskegee yearly Afro-American Conference meets at Tuskegee, Ala., Wednesday, February 21, at 9 a.m. These meetings have resulted in great good for the race, by showing the Afro-Americans how to lift themselves to a higher plane. It is expected that the attendance this year will be larger than ever. DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN Relic of Slave Days Leaves Seventh Wife A Widow. Rev. Booker Fox died in his home in Ottawa, i.e., Saturday evening at the age of 100 years. He is survived by his seventh wife. He was the father of 27 children, six of whom are living, and is said to have had 100 descendants. He has been a preacher for 2 years. He was not educated, but possessed a wonderful memory, and was able to almost every verse of scripture that the had even, and he was born in Nashville, Tennessee, the plantation of Levi Fox, a wealthy and kind master. When the master died a dispute arose between the heirs as to the disposition of the heirs, and they were sold. The aged minister was bought by Joel Smith of Little Rock, Ark., for $2,100. Smith was a hard master, with whom Booker lived for 20 years, until freed by the emancipation proclamation. CONVICT IS A RELIGIOUS LEADER. George Wagner in Reform School, declared to have - wPowers. Power of leadership of the Booker Washington type is claimed for George Wagner, a young Afro-American, sentenced to the State Reformatory at Pontiac, in August, 1897, for the attempted murder of his wife. He is declared by his fellow-prisoners, by the chaplain and superintendent of the institution and by other officials of the place as a marvel of oratorical ability, as a religious leader whose equal they have never seen nor heard. Also, Wagner his wife in 2014 LaSalle street, is bringing suit for a divorce from him on the ground of his conviction and for other reasons. Mrs. Wagner does not believe the stories of her husband's new mental development. His sentence is an indeterminate one, and influential friends are making an effort to have Wagner released on parole in order that he may take up studies-for the ministry. The good which a man doth is both the work of God and the work of man—of God, as being the Author, in giving grace; of man, as being the actor, in using grace—St. Gregory.

The Eastern Norton University is situated at Cape Spring, Ky., twenty-nine miles from Louisville, Ky., in one of the mostlemblous quiet settlements in the state—the county being what is known as a prohibition county for many years. The building and grounds are on a lofty hill of rich, rolling land, surrounded on all sides by mountain streams, dashing miniature caratacts, high mountains, scapples, and a number of many varied species. In this quiet retreat away from the bustle of city life, free from the unhealthy seductions and allurements of places of vice and unwholesome amusements, one finds study easy, recreation helpful, and the physical power developed to support life.

In many respects this annual sale of Muslin Underwear is the most attractive event of the year. Every woman delights in seeing such a large display of thoroughly good, well made and daintily trimmed Undermuslins. And when we give our assurance that Prices are Lower than at any other time of the year it's easy to understand why sales are larger than at any other time.

The Professor has written more volumes on Agriculture than any other person in the United States. He is at work now, compiling three volumes entitled "Fragments." To say the least of this gentleman would be, He is one of Nature's noblemen. Outside of his many duties at the college he teaches three large Bible classes on the Sabbath, commencing at 9.30 a. m. at the college 12 m. at Central Presbyterian Church and at 3 p. m. at the Bethel. The smallest class numbers over one hundred pupils. Professor Shaw is very anxious to meet Booker T. Washington, should he visit this city the coming summer. Following the issue of the call for the Republican state convention, which will be decided upon at a meeting of the state central committee on Tuesday, the Republican congressional committee will meet to prepare the call for the congressional convention, which will select the district delegates to the national convention and which will probably be held near the date of the state convention. Then the city and county committee will get together to call the necessary county convention. It is altogether probable that the city convention, which will name the candidates for city offices, and the county convention, which will send delegates to the state and congressional conventions, will be held on the same day and in the same hall. Thus one set of precinct primaries may be held, avoiding the expense and trouble of two primaries. The proceedings of the county convention will be more or less formal and need occupy very little time. The city convention will probably be able to get organized at a short forenoon session, and that is about all that is usually accomplished in any event.

The Flour City city cyclists will exclude Afro-Americans of the city from membership in that organization. Defining lines will be drawn in the articles of incorporation to be filed in a few days. One of the articles of the document specifically states that only white men are eligible to membership. The question of color is one that every bicycle club has had to meet and has been settled in various ways. Probably the most prominent case was that Minneapolis is soon to have a brass band. The band met at its hall on the 7th and organized with twenty members. Officers were elected as follows: W. H. Howard, president; Max English, vice president; Will Monton, treasurer; Fred Parkerson, secretary; Andy Monroe, assistant secretary. It was voted that the band be named Howard's Brass Band. Mr. W. M.

The question of color is one that every bicycle club has had to meet and has been settled in various ways. Probably the most prominent case was that of Maj.

The men say that it is not because of any prejudice against the Afro-American that the color line was drawn, stating that our club devotes itself to social functions, and that was the principal reason.

After the Jury had been out for three hours, they found Mr. Davis not guilty of any disorderly conduct. We hope that these of our race who are prejudiced to their own race will agree with the better thinking people that the color of the skin cuts no figure in law, as it is the one who understands the law. (From the Evening Wisconsin) John J. Miles the well-known head writer of the Plankton house, has received from Gov. Scofield a perchment, which would be considered a high honor by any one receiving it. It is a commission appointing Mr. Miles a member of the Charles Sumner monumental committee, an appointment never made except to those who are patriotic, capable and worthy in every way of the distinction thus conferred upon them. The appointment is the more noteworthy inasmuch as Mr. Miles did not solicit it but he was named at the special request of W. H. Grimshaw, commander of Charles Sumner Post No. 9, G. A. R., of the department of the Potomac. The object of the Charles Sumner Monumental committee is to show the appreciation by the Airo-Americans of the country of the efforts made in their behalf by Charles Sumner, the great commoner of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, by erecting a suitable monument to his memory in Washington D.C. The governor each state and territory has been requested by the Charles Sumner Port to appoint a representative Afro-American citizen as the representative of his state on the committee, and it is in response to this request and at the suggestion of Mr. Gimshaw that Mr. Miles is now appointed Mr. Miles will make all necessary arrangements for subscriptions and collection of funds, and will designate what bank or banks or trust company will be cut out of the same. He willave a variey of other responsible duties to attend to. John J. Miles is one of the best-known African-American in the state and has done a great deal of work in a quiet but effective way for the benefit of biracie. He is an indebtable worker and when he starts out to accomplish a purpose nothing stops him until it is done, and it probably is this trait in his character which was one of the strongest reasons mediated in his appointment to the commi. He has been a head waiter at the Plankton house for twenty years during which time he has become well known to hundreds of people all over the country. CHICAGO.

Mound Bayou, Miss—It has been a long time since I wrote the letter, and it is because I have been too busy to think about writing to you. I was pleased to see my name in your paper, and want to thank you for it. You know I had been to Chicago and had a talk with the editor and then left for another part of the world, when I wrote you the last letter, and now I am away down here in the city. I have been a part of the years of my life, and I can imagine that I am in Chicago—that great big city of freedom—and I want to come back again just as soon as I can get my cotton planted. I thank you ever since you nurtured you showed me while I was there. Did you ever hear of Mound Bayon before? Well, it is just 104 miles from Memphis, Tenn., on that railroad known as the Y. & M. V., and it will be a great place to house in the town are owned by colored folks, the Mayor of the town is Hon. I. T. Montgomery, the Postmaster is Miss Virginia Montgomery, the Constable is a colored man, the Aldermen are colored men, and all the women are colored women, shanty down here myself; in fact, this is where my plantation is, and I am getting along well on it. I cannot understand why so many of our people will flock to the cities filled with people, and I will be the treatment they receive, when there is so much land yet to be possessed, and almost begging for someone to come along and take it up. Now, take a town like this, and you will find spendable opportunities for young men and women, and nothing to keep them back. This is a town that a young college graduate be something more than a waiter or bootleak in. I am not prepared to say why so many of them will go to college, and with all these good opportunities. Why is it, and why should it be? The saw mills belong to colored men, the cotton gins belong to them, and almost everything here except the railroad, and it belongs to the white Green. The colored agent here is Mrs. Green. The colored business person doing good business for, in addition to being the agent, she owns a great big store. But then a white man has entered the town recently and opened his business here. He is a man who is very smart. He was some moe yo to be made in torment, he wor d go there and start him a store an' make some of it. He is a man that will go all over the world to make a little money, and he will buy all the goods of them I expect to see them dealing in secre d-hand clothes or lending money. They will have their junk shops ther' their pawn-broker stores, and he wl be standing out on the street invite r people to come in and see you, see what I am talking about. Miss Minnie Lade Washington, a graduate from Fuskeegue, is teaching the college. S is a smart young woman, and I am a hardworking. The boy and girls are benefited by having her in charge of the school. She can teach them how to do so many things, and they are learning. I want to invite some of those students down here and see us, and we will make them have a big time. This is not a whisky toon, and you can't buy any for miles. You see we can live here and do what we do. You read this I am sure that it will make you feel good to know that we are getting along like that. Now, I must bring my letter to a close for this tine. Give my love to them. I will do what I am them that I am well and doing well, and hope when these few lines come to hand they may and them the same. I have just heart of a big time they are having in Keucky. Write to me EBO IY BLUE BLACK.
