A SOLDIER'S OBSERVATIONS IN THE ISLAND OF NEGROS. The Soil the Richest in the World— The Rebels Only Bundles—One of Aguinaldo's Allies — Kind of Americans Needed—Great Market for American Wares — Climate Healthful—A Spanish Epigram. Isabelle, Negros, P. I, Dec. 7. This letter is mailed at a little pueblo in the heart of the richest agricultural country in the world. Considering the soil only, this itinerary will worth the worth of the States of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Illinois. If I could own five acres of this land and locate it within 100 miles of New York City I would not trade it for any other growing land in Illinois. Negros is a Garden city only the road-builder to fulfill its destiny. There may be gold in the mountains. There or not there, Negros does not need every ounce of her black soil is an ounce of gold. I know how to refine it in the smelter of industry. The agricultural possibilities of the island are simply boundless. The only thing that the soil of Negros won't allow me to refine is "Oh, well, but a white man can't labor in that climate!" The answer is simple. A white man who owns land in Negros doesn't have to labor. And there hang-up against the subject of climate. The Sixth United States infantry arrived on this island last June, right in the middle of the rainy season. Any anti-imperialist who thinks it is a regiment of the natives will invade along about sunset, when the natives tap the coconut trees for tuba. I've got five months' pay coming to me that says there isn't an athletic club in the city, but there is them, man for man, for robust health, healthy desire to hammer thunder out of somebody at least once every twenty-four hours. I joined the regiment on Oct. 1, eight recruits, fresh from the States, came with me. Every man of them has put on flesh since joining the regiment. The good health of the men is not due to the easy time they've been having due to the Sixth would shy at a dry bed and would be a electric car. For five months they've slept in the mud and rain, and if there's a man of them who isn't sore-footed from marching day and night, the sergeant-major doesn't know his name. But they can't count amounts. (It is the New York Sun's Isabell, Newsw, letter that you are reading doesn't know what a slick man looks like. A way back I proudly referred to the fact that I had five months' pay due me. That is $78 American. I expect to get a promised proposal. I expect to bet $50 of it to the fellowship program, a thousand picked men and let them undergo five months of the same exposure and hardship in any state in the Union that the Sixth infantry has undergone and that the men will be dead and 40 per cent of them will be in the hospital. We've had practically no sickness here. I will pick 1,000 men from this regiment and that there isn't a community of $5,000 in the United States. We can pick 1,000 equally healthy men. Now, about the insurrection. There isn't any on this island. I can't find any evidence that there ever was one. There used to be a game gang in the island, but they back in time. They have got the same thing here. It isn't something new that came in with American rule. There have been Papirocelo bandits in the past. They have got made Boston. They live in the mountain fastnesses and levy tributes on the plantation owners. If the planter falls to put up, his sugar mill goes up in flames and kills all the old men and babes. There is just one cure for them and that is the Old Testament recipe: Extermination root and branch. We are prescribing the treatment at present with the use of kills for the habitants of the island are delighted to find how truly good a thorny dead Papirocelo can be. If the present land holders on this island are Americans of the type who settled the frontier West, Ute Sam could withdrawn every American soldier. from the island to mourn you condemn that after a couple of squares all will be well. There would ensue a little preliminary work, but the shortly people would begin to ask, "What has become of the Papieclos?" I suppose that "Lot-the-Poor-Indian-Esq," of Boston would make a great outfit, just as he does now about the Indian "Indian" would only condescend to rock the cradle and do the housework, so that Mr. Lo could spend a couple of months over here with us, we think we could convince him that it is hardly fair to class him with Aguadillo with George Washington. The Negros Papiecles have been running their tax collection agency and murdering amigos on the side for so long that the Spanish land owners here had to abandon them. The Spanish soldiers appeared to take the same view of the situation. The history of Negros falls to show a single instance in which the Spanish soldiers chased a Papiecio band further than the woods. They thought of embarking for the moon as of venturing into the mountains. Now, it is different. A corporal and four bluecots go into the mountains after Papiecio, just as they would go into the woods to hunt. The amigos first saw these little squads heading for the big hills, they held up their hands in hoor, and the air fairly buzzed with warnings. Now they are getting so that you can yell "Papiecio" at them at the mountains, and the bandits are getting fewer and rover very high. Meanwhile, the brutal American soldier insist on Papiecio beef, killed in the mountains, and grow fat. If our appetites hold out for six months more there will be no more cattle in the mountains. The Papiecio problem will have solved itself. With the Papaceli exterminated or if Boston prefers she might pension them. Negro makes the wood roads. Indian makes the roads and Negro makes the national debt of the states. Just ticks the land with the sharp end of a crooket stick and it blossoms dollar. You couldn't stop her from growing rice with her hands, and she provided providence. If they had free, she wouldn't burn the canefields fast enough to keep her from producing a sugar crop. Negroes give greeting and welcome to the land. She will start. She will clothe him in purple and fine linen. If he dislikes water, she will build a him a palace at Nagasaki where he will live. And she will give him a monthly allowance of Hongkong and an allowance of change. that will enable him to lose $1,000-jack-pots smiling. The man who knows how to grow things isn't; the only one to whom Negros extends greeting. There are all sorts of opium, tobacco, and some of them ready to pick right now. Rock Island, Moline, South Bend, in fact, all the plough towns in the states have a sugar planter with a light draught, turning plough, American make. He has a very few now and likes them, and wants thousands more. They can be made to grow in the rain, and he has the right handle detachable. During the early plowing he wants only one. He pays net gold, on the nail. He also wants a large pot of sugar. He wants American padlocks and hoses and staples and bolts and nuts and nails. He'd buy American bolsters and engines for his sugar mills just as cheerfully as the sugar mills make. He all wants the chance. The average native's ideas of meum and tum are lax. The planter would welcome a small iron safe, such as a canteen, or manufactures for country postmasters. The planter does not want the American day laborer. No one wants him in Negron. Even the Chinaman refuse to be a plant worker. He shops and smuggle on the side. Native labor costs 50 cents. Mexican and less a day. Steady jobs pay only $1. Mexican, a week. A good Filipino cook, who can give a bad pepper to the average American. He can give $6. Mexican, a mouth and what he can steal. I've heard that there was a demand for American mechanics in Manila. It may be true there. There is certain planters who can manage a Filipino blacksmith here gets $1. Mexican, a day, and pays his own helper. They are plenty of native stationary engineers. They are boiler-burners, and the present planters probably have a prelate better men. Clerks, either of the salesman or bookkeeping variety, are not wanted at any price. The Japanese, and fill such places acceptably at merely nominal salaries. There is one kind of man who is wanted here, and he's a mighty scarman man, a white man who comes up to these special men, who he must be strong and healthy. He must be intelligent and minding and minding cane. He must know how to handle native laborers and have a tough insight into native character. He must be a brave and Visecayan. He must be a just boss, but there. There will be times when he must drive. He is wanted as a plantation overseer. For a twelve-month more he will carry a knife on his shoulder and possibly get the camera in his hand. The Spanish planter makes this man. He will make his go-ahead energy, his force of character, and his direct methods—also what he admiringly calls "his box," meaning he places a Spanish's eyes wander when he is to his knuckles. His admiration of American prowess in this direction is unfledged and enthusiastic. This is also the reason the weakest Spanish planters in the country. His Holios, honors me with his acquaintance and esteem. I stood talking with him on a street corner of Ginlanar one day when two American soldiers, just a trifle Spanish planters, in their middle of the street. Other bystanders say it was a lovely fight. I don't know, but I put in my time watching Senior Holios. The man was transfixed with his fairly quivered with eacacy. His mouth was open, the pucker of a man about to taste a rich wine. I could see the play of sympathetic nerves in his face. His eyes stuck out at the knockout blow was handed curried and fairly hugged me, and almost danced as he shouted: "Bravo! Bueno! Bravo!" As to Spanish prejudice, don't let any one tell you that the Spaniards of Negros dislike Americans. They are a business people. They own property that they own, and they hold American occupation with delight and love to American rule with confidence. Jack Dempsey once gave me a few box lessons, "Jack," he said, "boxing is the art of making friends. You never have to be afraid of being shunned. He thrashed a man and then patted him on the back and said, 'Old man, you put up the gamenight fight I ever went up against. After that you can trust him with your hands.' It strikes me that this is the attitude of the Negros toward the Americans. They reason that it took pretty good men so thoroughly to thrash the Spanish army and navy and that consequently we are not going to be a slave to them. They will thus esteem us I can't say. They'll now buy about anything at any price if you say it is American made. Senor Hollos josse a heavy gold watch. He went to Antwerp. He examined it each time we met. One day he inquired, "Americans?" I bush to tell it. He offered and gave me $M0 Mexican for that Waterbury. And you couldn't buy his bargain to-day. Spanish etiquette forbade me to refuse his offer, unless I wished to make him a present of it. Any way. I couldn't contend with good goods, and I was hard up and had been a toba-talk and dance that evening; where was likely to be a monte as well. Another time in Ginaigam I was at my wits' to raise $5. I finally thought of a little housewife with which the Red Crescent presented me in San Francisco. I, too, was a housewife with twenty all told, I think. I took these safety-pins to the native market and dickered with the natives, men and women. When I had disposed of the last pin I was the possessor of more than $10, I bought a pair of safety-pins on an average of 25 cents, American. The next market day I was again on hand THE APPEAL. $ IT IS A CRIME TO DIE RICH. FRICA RENSE SAY, PARTNER, I'M IN NEED O F ASSISTANCE. JUST GIVE ME THE PRICE OF A FEW LIBRARIES with eight patient trouser buttons. All but one of them had the screw-treads clogged with Japan so they wouldn't work. Taken to an American street peddler over here with Waterbury watches, cheap alarman clocks and cheap novelties and contrivance, the biggest benefit because the buyers wouldn't give it away. There was a native cook out at the hacienda de Sevilla, near Isabela. A detachment of Company L was stationed at the kitchen of an alarm clock that cost 80 cents on Eighth Avenue. The cook's name was Clemente, and Clemente's soul yearned for that clock. He paid $10, Mexican for the clock and then took out an extra dollar when unseen. The salary is $6, Mexican, a month. He lives he exchanged the clock at so much a look. There is one American product with which you can buy a native very soul, a Mexican sugar sweetened plug chewing tobacco and travel on foot from one end of Negro to the other and never want for a night's lodging, a mace of rice or a shell of tuber. You can buy a sweetened plug chewing tobacco and believe if Uncle Sam offered a plug of tobacco to each man, the Papiecies would come in and surrender in a body, only place where "muscadi" as the naive name of the American commissary. Of course, only soldiers can buy there. For a single cheek of muscadi a native will do a week's washing for a soldier. Why sweetened do not know. Why it is because of a high duty it would pay to start a factory here. It takes thirty days and nights of the sweetest description of exposure and hardiness. It is a good photograph that he cheerfully give that $10.00 for a good photograph of myself as I made my debut the other day on the 'back of a water buffalo swimming the Belinbagin river, four feet ten inches.

Whether the powers that be would permit a photographer's trade among the troops I cannot say. Parish fashion does not arrive in Negroes. At ten paces one native woman looks like every other woman. They will be wearing a pair of shorts, a couple of yards or so of red cales. It is always the same pattern, and bright red. It is made in Manchester or Belfast. The women are not wearing enough of it in a year to, bandas the globe. He is a chance for some enterprising Fall River man to prepare for prospective trade. He is an enterprising patent medicine man over here. We are never ill, but we are usually almighty sore. A pin scratch in this climate takes a month to heal, a cut takes four or five months and a wound takes six months. We have a sore on his leg at fitness, at sixty still retains it as a souvenir of his youth. We want the patent medicine man to send a lotion that will properly heal his wounds and climate. We'll put him in the class with Col. Sellers. There are nearly 100,000 American soldiers here, and every one of them has two sore feet, and each foot has two sore toes, and each toes is taken internally, externally and internally. There's a field for young doctors. Not that it is sickly, for it isn't. But because there are no doctors here. There are just for native Americans. There are $2 Mexican, for a visit. Few natives can stand that. So the native who gets a colic just resists himself and dies, when a Jamaica ginger would pull him through. I see by extracts from home papers that Mr. "Lol the Poor Indian" says that the Caribbean islands are the most dangerous forefathers is a false one. He says that settlement will not follow the rife over here. The islands are filling up with people. The trachea is in October Freedom of Mar nila was an eight-page daily with a few advertisements. Now it is a two-ve-page daily and the advertisements of American newspapers and Americans are coming here in shoals. About one in every ten discharged regular stays at the hospital start shops and places as planters in the latter capacity they are assisting the army to settle the century-old Papiepile problem. You can't coust 200 Papiepile in a week. You can see an ex-regular with a Krug on his shoulder, slouching through the fields in the capacity of overseer. The Krug I write this in quarters in the second story of a big Spanish house at Isabella, Negro. Down in the room beneath me there is a captive Papelico captain—one with a captive dog, ground with his feet in stocks, and a brutal American regular watches his every move, and so the fellow would try to escape, so that he could pump him up. He is a captive dog, and his indent of this pueblo would give $1,000 gld for a revolver and a five minutes' private interview with him. These isn't a native or Spanish resident of Isabella who would not kill him with as little compunction as he did in the mountains ten years. His record of crime fills fifty odd pages of the records of the local criminal court. He has set the torch to much property. He worked in a working native, sparing another old women nor babes. He has murdered ten-year-old girls. He bears his history in his face. You look at him and say: "There is a creature who would cut the blood run." This noble patriot, this George Washington the Second, when captured carried a commission from Aguilaldo, and wore at his side a gold medal, and was a token of his high esteem. Come over here, Mr. Lo, and let us introduce you to IT IS A CRIME SO DIE BACK. CARNEGIE O F ASSISTANCE. JUST GIVE ME THE your friends. It might cure you. Meanwhile, here is Negros, waiting to be wooed and won. Negros, of which the Spandals had an epigram, that, freely translated, would go something like this: six continents and many isles.

New York Herald: The secret of the coloring of the skin and hair of human beings has at last been discovered by Prof. Henry Roughan, a German scientist. The function of the skin he finds to be far more important than has generally been supposed, for it has much to do with the action of the lungs and kidneys. The increased activity of the skin in the secretion accompanies a decrease in the secretion of the kidneys, and vice versa. In other words, the skin acts as the regulator of the temperature of the inner organism, and the hair on its surface places a small part in this work. As is well known—the thin exterior epidermis without any nerves in it, and the deeper or mucous stratum or rote Malpighii, and between these lies a mass of connecting cells. The outer layer in the men of all races is always of a yellowish gray color, and is transparent, the coloring matter lying in the rote Malpighii. Every change in the color of the skin is due to changes in this inner layer. As the outside of the skin is transparent it shows the rosy color of the inner skin in the white races and the darker colors in the other races, so that when one speaks of the negro as a "colored man" it is on good physiological authority. The microscope and chemistry have shown the coloring fluids that are found in this type of skin, and the green of reddish brown, yellow and black. These particles have been isolated, proving the theory. It is still more interesting to find that this same pigment has to do with the color of the hair. The brunette has dark hair, and the coloring matter which gives the skin a darker same that passes into the hair. The formation of this pigment takes place by the action of blood and the circulation of lymph. Proof that the coloring matter comes from the body has been possible only in the few years, when transplantation of skin has been possible. If some of the skin of a negro be transplanted to the body of a man of Caucasus, and if bits of white skin be transplanted to a negro they soon become black. But to negro grown in old age, and when the skin has been exposed, even the white skin does not become white his hair ought to stay black also. The cells at the skin surface grow weaker, the pigment cellsinate, and in old age, when the vital processes grow weaker, the pigment cellsinize, and in old age, when the vital processes new discover, this supports the new discovery. Effect of climate upon the color of the skin, too, by this discovery, for it is not only the action of the sun on the skin, but also the action of the color, the action of heat on the color, and secretions of the body has an effect upon the pigments of the skin. Effect upon the body, and as a consequence, home, whether on high or low ground in woods or on sunny plains, all have a effect upon the body, and, as a consequence, Persons having curly hair generally find it finer than that of their straight hair, because the color matter for each hair is constant in quantity, and in the fine hair it has less surface to color, so it is easier to see the reason that the coarse beard of a person has a lighter shade than the finer hair on his head. In curly hair it is found that the hair is more coarse than the papillae at the base of each hair are in direct connection with the lymph of the mucous layer of the skin, whose surface is more coarse than the papillae give it up to the papillae of the hair. If by any accident this stream of lymph is cut off no more color matter reaches the skin, and the person can plainly how a person in great grief or anxiety may have his hair change to gray over night. The heat of the brain may cause the skin to become pale cells, and his hair is gray hecoforte. FRICK PRICE OF A FEW LIBRARIES. A Sandwich Assembly. "The Iowa legislature," says the Des Moines Ness, "is made up of sandwiches of farmers' wiches, made up of lawyers, and the sandwiches are not of the same variety. There is plenty of meat inside." larger population, for as the number of transients in a city increases, the demands on service advances and the expenses of maintenance are spondingly. The test of efficiency of men engaged, but their number of ing arrests of the light persons, at the will be most favorable conditions which if innocent or their conviction if guilty report of the Chicago chief of police should be within the period covered. Of the arrests made that city for the crime of homicide were sent to the reformatory at Ponchatou, and were sent to terms of imprisonment, it were still pending at the time of the report. In New York the number of arrests in the city is about 1,000 by the detective's amounts to 1,000 by the number of convictions from such arrests is about one number of arrests for homicide in the city, and the proportion of convictions is decidedly larger than it is in the city of New York for its police department in a year about one-third of the sum paid by New York. The expense of the Philadelphia police department is $3,100,000 a year, and the expense of the Boston police department is $1,550,000 a year. The expense of the Philadelphia department. The present population of Boston is estimated at 400,000 and this apparent discrepancy is relatively, therefore, the greater the population of visitors to Boston is considerably larger than the number to Philadelphia, and the more people in some city, the duties of the police department which are chiefly in the line of main-tenance is the expense of the New York police department, $300,000 for 600,000, approximately, of which $1,700,000 is for police salaries, $300,000 for the balance for rentals and contingencies.

LAUNCHING AN AMATEUR THE OBSTACLES AND TRIALS THAT BESET THE BUDDING SINGER. Good Looks, Says the Manager, a Factor of Prime Importance for Success in Man as Well as Woman-A Europen Education and the Prestige of a New York Appearance Powerful Aids. "Launching an amateur upon a musical career is a task that makes the labors of Hercules look easy by comparison." The speaker was a New York manager who has probably set as many musical craft afloat as any man in the business. "Look at that," he added, waving his hand toward a pile of paper that covered the office desk, ran over upon the chairs and table and drifted across on the floor. "Those are all letters, letters from budding genius. Every one of the writers is a phenomenon and wants to know when he may give me the joy of knowing him and introducing him to the world, which is waiting to pitch laurels at him. We are positively snowed under with applications. Do I give all the applicants a chance? I couldn't do it if the year had a thousand days instead of three hundred and sixty-five. We go through the letters and pick out those that sound least impossible. One learns to know from all sorts of little straws how the wind blows. Now here is a young woman who writes that she has a soprano voice that has been much admired. She has been singing in a church choir in Lonelyville, and has sung in concert in all the little towns around there. She incloses clippings from the local papers. You know those clippings. According to them Pattl and Melba aren't a circumstance to the girl from Lonelyville, and the spheres stop making their own music and listen to her when she sings. There isn't one chance in ten thousand that we could do anything with that girl; so we'll write her that our list is full and we cannot do anything for her. Hard on her? Oh, you needn't pity her. She's very happy as she is—probably having a much better time than she has as a mediocre professional, even if she had a talent enough for the role. "The girl I'm sorry for is the one who has studied hard under reliable masters, who knows what good music is and has lotty aims and ideals, who has given the people a chance to be a public and a public-staked all her hopes and chances on musical success, and comes within an ace of being equal to it—but falls just short. That's misfortune that even a hardhearted manager can appreciate. I've already been a public and a public-staked all her hopes and chances on musical success. I'm not a sentimental man; but there have been times when I have felt like a public executioner. A girl came here last Saturday with her mother. They were ladies. It was so sad and sad that she was plain and hadn't any sort of a sense of presence. She had studied all her life, first in Cincinnati and then in Paris. Her father had died suddenly, leaving them penniless. The daughter had come to the same place. She had been by concert work. She was desperately in earnest, but she didn't bid for sympathy; not a bit of it. She was just as business like as she was pale, and all she asked was that I should hear her. She was still in her place. There was no use in trying to place her. She had finished. Singing and she and her mother looked at me, I'd have given $50 to slide out of the door and send the stenographer in to deliver the verdict. I have no idea why, though, I have been no kindness in sending her around to other agents and letting her hope die by inches. She took it like a thoroughbred. I'll say that for her—thanked me with her head up, and didn't ask for any help from the verdict, but the mother was from the field, and I fell as they went out. I wished I'd gone into the hardware business. "There's another letter—I'll give this woman an appointment. She studied five years at the New England conservatory. Then she went abroad and studied for a while. She was a student in the US. She sang at orchestral concerts both in Dresden and Leipzig, and her newspaper notices are good. One can usually rely upon German press notices—they take musicians so seriously over there. In this case, she is a professional music criticism, especially the to be told outside of New York. Our applicants send us clippings by the bushel, and I can classify them at a glance. There's the personal friends variety, and the talent of the people. We are not the truth that doesn't want to give a pretty young woman a black eye, and the genuine but unscientific enthusiasm, and the cold-blooded, authoritative estimate. From any of them save the last it's easier to find out the fact that the good looking and ingratiating than to find out is the fact about her voice and method. After all, personality has as much, perhaps more, to do with an amateur's success as musical ability. Of course, there must be a sort of a sort of a sort of a sort of a tremendous talent that, without personal attraction, achieves what charming personality can achieve without great talent. We managers gamble upon that quality of personal magnetism rather more reckless than the other two. We are not a person, a young girl came to me, who had had no foreign study, no public experience; but after she had talked to me for five minutes, I took her into the music room and told her to sing. Her voice was so great that she was very fretful. It had turned away dozens of words with more talent that very week. This girl had no money to put into securing a hearing: I told her I would back her and get her a chance. It was a speculation, and I was not sure whether my influence in obtaining an opportunity for her to appear with a good organization; but I hadn't miscalculated. She wasn't frightened; but she was deliciously ingenuous and pretty and appealing. She walked out on the stage and smiled confidingly at the crowd, just the smile that's a sure winner. A little murmur ran through the house and I patted myself on the head. Her reception was a foregone conclusion before she opened her mouth, and she is one of the most successful debutantes of the season. "The personal element is just as great a factor in a man's success, but it's harder to find. Men are so awkward. Perhaps it's because they don't have petty coats to hide their feet. But there are dozens of tenors and baritones traveling around the country on manner and fine eyes, rather than on voice. It is hard to make some foreign musicians understand that. The foreign pianists and violinists, especially, are likely to be absorbed in their music and lost to the world. It's all very well if they are great enough; but the really great are few, you know. We brought out one young fellow several seasons ago who $2.40 PER YEAR. was a genius, but as solemn as a death's name; he was a man of great tendency; to I led him aside and laced with him. "You must smile at the women. Nice. Nice! Gott! But I do not see them." "You must pretend you see them." "You must be in my music. I know of noding elbows." "Well, I said, that may go in art, but you can do it in music. You'll have to crack your face a trifle and look pleased, or also look pensive and play like an archangel and yet never draw play like an archangel and yet never draw "'Ach Himmel; sooch a pizness.' you, you mother, soch it plumes. "I wish you mother, soch it plumes to follow my advices. The first time I dled to the foyer and howled with mirth; but he is coming out all right. "The first thing to do when we undertake to launch a musician is to have the critics hear him. That sounds easy, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. Say the unknown genius is a woman. If she is bent upon a star-debut, a touch and go hazard, and we believe she has a fair chance to win, we plan a recital for her. Ordinarily, she must pay the expenses. Our part consists in bringing influence to bear in advertising her, bringing out the rich people to hear her, and attending to all the details. Occasionally the musician has no funds, but our confidence in her chances is so great that we are willing to put up the necessary money, with the understanding that we shall have a certain percentage of her profits—if there are any. That, however, is the exceptional case. As a rule, the safest and wisest way to put an amateur before the public is to find an opportunity for her to appear with some first-class organization; say one of the well known orchestras or concert companies. There, she doesn't defy criticism so rashly, and the critics are disposed to treat her more kindly. The fact of her association gives her the privilege of being taken seriously, and, if later, we want to send her through the country alone, the fact that she has played with famous musical organizations is her best card. "The demand for concert musicians throughout the United States is growing multiplying at a terrific rate, and every town of any size has musical courses and lectures every season. Yet it is as hard to trouble is that in the small towns they do not want to pay big prices and yet they want to be able to accept small things. That of sort thing is the despair of the manager. I may have a dozen musicians of real marts who would be just the thing to accept small money, but, no; the committee must have some one with a famous artist who would accept small money, not even look at the sum of money offered, so I have to produce some shopworn-down artist, who isn't well known to the audience. That's the way worn-out artists amateurs. That's the way worn-out artists, but it's an awful mistake in the musical education of the people. I have to talk myself black in the face to get an audience, and it is utterly useless to attempt it unless she has had metropolitan experience and I can show New York or Boston." "That's why all musical aspirants drift to New York. If they haven't the New York stamp they will not pass current in the country, no matter how good they may be. We always say that the Pacific coast is the Alpha and Omega of the world. So we have to be more open to the Lochlnvars come out of the West, study here, make their bows to the public, their success or failure here, stay here, as long as they can make a living, and then, when New York will not have them any longer, tuck the least objectionable of their New York press notices in their pockets, and go back to enjoy a second time. So we have to be more open to the West demands a New York approval, so New York insists upon European approval. It is infinitely more easy to win serious attention for a musician who has made a foreign debut, or who, even if she has not appeared before a European public, has studied abroad. It isn't just a fad. One can get over a very good, but must be a very good, American-to-day, musician. The musical atmosphere in Europe counts for so much. One breathes and eats and drinks music over there. It gets into the blood. Students with little money can bear so much more good music in Europe, and the spirit of hard study and high ideals is in the very air. One is bound to attain higher standards and become more mature and more calm and more quiet, and education through foreign study. Given equal amounts, of talent the musician who has studied abroad will reach a higher plane of art than the student whose musical education is wholly American. I'm willing to stake my money upon the American talent, and, up to a certain point, upon American training, out give me an amateur who has had at least a few years of European expertise. "Three-fourths of the aspirants of New York are students, and then try to obtain their positions which will support them until they enter into concert work. There are agencies in the city whose whole work is in concert work. We do not handle any of that business, save in rare cases. The charities, like the small towns, want them in some side of fame, and many of them can afford to engage celebrities; but the students, in a commercial committee that, in case of a vacancy recommended applicants and decided on a basis of merit. On that account an amateur can better work in concert work than a better chance in choir work that concert work; but the number of singers in work is as appalling as that rule of letters. "There's one consoling thing about my profession. I be a headmaster, kill animals, and natural need among my applicants is comparatively small. I believe that fully come to me have comfortable homes and other means of support. They are not likely to have given me more than not true, isn't the same in Europe. There children are rare cases, music life is rare choice. I know I ruthlessly destroy hopes and ambitions, but I seldom have the time to make a detachment, save in the case of artists who have had their day and were not wise in fat." -New York Sun Defective Page A young fellow on the South side has a negro valet an old-fashioned Southern darkey. "Here, Jeff, I want those trousers cleaned and pressed to-day," he said, pointing to a rather loud etiquette farment that Jeff had long had his eyes on. "All right, sah," said Jeff, with a sigh.

Address. THE APPEAL, St Paul Minu. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1900. When Alexander Wertenen went to work in the tannery at Spencer, W. Va., he was a blonde. In about an hour he began to turn black, and by night he was as black as coal from head to foot. Wertenen feels no illness, and the doctors oner no explanation. If some one could perfect a system of making black men white in one day the race problem would soon be settled. --- For many years the female suffragists have had no opposition when they went to Washington every year to present their arguments to the senate committee on woman suffrage, but this year they met a number of anti-woman suffrage women drawn up in battle array. The fight for female suffrage has been made by the few; the great masses of the women do not wish to vote. The Tuskegee yearly Afro-American Conference meets at Tuskegee, Ala., G. H. GEORGE WASHINGTON. 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. The Forty-eighth Regiment of Armenian volunteers created a decided sensation in Yokohama, Japan, where the transport Grant coated. The men were given shore leave and behaved amabilly, while their soldierly bearing was greatly praised. Rev. Charles Sheldon is to have absolute control of the Topeka Capital, newspaper, for one week and he proposes to show how Jesus would run a newspaper. We would like to know how he knows? The situation in Kentucky seems to be of little import with the public elsewhere now. The shooting seems to be all over. The Senator Clark case gets more and more scandalous as it moves slowly along. What will the end be? THE MODERN NEWSBOY He Seems to Be Growing More and More Businesslike in His Ways. He seems to be passing the torch of the city and the constant passing of more and more people through long essex streets and channels, and the opening of new channels and the rents flow steadily has come about naturally enough, perhaps, some changes in the newspapers in the streets by vendor, some stock under their arm. The great awakening of new newspapers been covered, and there the newbys, are to be found just as before. But there are now more and more newbys and there are now more and more newbys and, instead of walking about, hold that spot. A good illustration of this is seen Park in the selling of afternoon papers in Brooklyn over the bridge, or upwn in Manhattan or the Bronx byway of the elevated railroad from the city hall sta- The entrance to the bridge and the elevated station there makes a center toward which many thousands of people are drawn daily; and at the focal point, where many streams of humanity congregate there are many newsvenders. Every one of us is an everlasting streamers has been fished and fished. It has reached this point. At every path in the park, to meet these currents when they first begin to concentrate, the newsboys station themselves. The best fishing points have had the same occupants of the most perchers for years. Of course, there are many more or less of this sort of fishing done, but it is never so highly developed. It is now. There are / newsboys to be found in every busy street leading to an elevated station; there is more and more of a tendency on their part to stay in one seat, where a customer knows where to find him. Many of these newsdealers have what are practically to regular customers who buy papers of them daily, and to whom the vender hands out a paper as he comes along, and the right paper, too, every time. The fishing of the current where it first strikes the channel is not here in the work of boys who station themselves, say, on Broadway, downtown, at the corners of streets leading to an elevated station. Perhaps the latest. Development of specialization in selling newspapers in the downtown and in houses downtown. This is not new, but he takes his station outside. The boy takes his station outside if he succeeds, he comes to have regular customers who buy as they leave on the street, he buys on paper and whips it out as they come and he may do better concentrating his attention on what he so to speak, he would be fishing for chance fish to be taken between corners of his business to stand day after day in his spot. He is plenty of newsbows still plunging and tearing around, the same as before, for the general and floating news, and for the initial experiments than ever, and one constantly growing, of newsbenders that, so to speak, take root somewhere, in the busiest city places, and stick and cultivate a trade.

Anthropologists say that the ability to laugh comes to the child as it grows older. The first amile is observed when the child is about forty to sixty days old, and the power of laughing is sometimes after that. According to Mantleman and others, the power of laughing has to be acquired, just as a child learns how to talk or to walk. Laughter at the earl is observed in infants only after they are born. Children and women laugh more than men, not because the cares of life lie heavily upon them, but because the former are more excitable and because the cerebral hemispheres is less in them than among men generally. Profound study makes men serious, and so foolish people are sometimes noted for laughing in moderately. Yet laughter is not the only sign of the cerebral hemispheres is in the condition of health. Healthy, vigorous people are proverbially of good humour, joyous, laughing natures, while the "sallow, gloomy eyed dyspeptite" is a description scientifically accurate, albeit it has its origin from the brain of a poet. The envious, wicked and malevolent rarely laugh, because, pheromologists say, they are impregnated with bile, and are more arrogant. The haughty, the vile and the fear of losing their dignity. The Spanish people, who are proverbial, grave, are a good example. People who have lines extending downward from the angle at the mouth toward the ear, marked rarely laugh and, moreover, show no interest in youth and melancholy in after life. Those who have lines raying outward from the eyes are, on the contrary, people who ought a good deal, especially when the upper lip is framed by two deep pearls. Lavater, the noted Swiss physiologist, says that frank, easy, copious laughter indicates "a good soul devoid of vanity." Such people often have a great many wrinkles running obliquely outward and upward, and they also have full, open lips and a round, large forehead—New York Herald. Texas Has Been Under Six Flags.

More of Them Would Materialize by Koening Their Costs On. Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post: In one of the large wholesale grocery houses of New York everybody seems so contented yet to chat with the people of the city, a chop of Coling or the rise in California prunes, that considerable curiosity has been expressed concerning the manner in which the firm does not pay large salaries. Its men work just as long as anyone of the competing young man who had been with the firm but a short time. He placed in the place he said, "the president took me under his wing and laid out some work. When I was solid with that he had the chief clerk turn over a man to the jobs. Then the manager gave me additional duties, which seemed to fill up the time to overflowing. A few (ays) he wrote in letters, which I tried to attend all the things, and succeeded for a time. Then came a big rush of business. The others were busy with the work of it, but it just swamped me. I flew around like a politician after robes on a The election day, but it was 14 uses. The more. I'm going to be a good one for me, more. Finally I got mad, took off my coat and began to get heated. About this time the president came in and saw there was something wrong. He called me into the room and told me he was the general way that seemed not in the least useful. He said he preferred to have his people keep their coats on except when he weather was hot; for a man who was in the room and he was too warm or not working properly. If he was too warm he should have the room cooled; if he was working with friction he should oil up the bearings and the heat from the heat from the heat from the heat was a brakeman he found it always paid to keep all the boxes just as cool as possible. “About here I began to see the drift. I went out to my desk, put on my coat, looked over what was to be done, spent time on the work, playing with a car, and finished everything by 6 o'clock. A few days later I told one of the other men what had been told me. He laughed and said the president had given the service to others, go that. Keep your coat on, was a sort of battle or on busy day.” It is often said there is a dearth of $5,000-a-year men. This cannot mean a day, so he is with the besuccessful knowledge; such a view is plainly untrue. The lacking faculty or characteristic is the ability to plan instinctively while carrying on other work, so that afflares never for one month. And there is always time for your mort, under taking. Praise takes in, In its wide range, enjoyment of present, remembrance of past, and anticipation of future blessings, and the hope of heaven, heaven, praise is already there. -H More. Only 100 persons in every 1,000,000 die from old age. A lingering hope, unlike a fingering guest, is always welcome. TROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. States must be maintained in those islands, the Republican party must meet "Look at this question as you will, from the statement of national duty or from the statement of national interest, we cannot turn back. If national interests are presented to national duty we would not hesitate to follow, the path of duty, but when that which contributes to our nation's good, no, technical opposition can stand against it."

OVATION TENDERED TO DR. WILBER P. THIRKIELD. Former President of Gammon Theological Seminary Given a Royal Welcome to Chicago by the Afro-American Citizens He Speaks on "The Black Sunson." One of the delightful surprises of the season night, at Quinn Chapel, Monday night, is the reception of Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkeld, of Athnata, who Thirkeld has been the head of Gammon Theological Seminary years and it is due to his enlightened thought that he has made that institution a noteworthy and esteemed noted seat of learning in the South. He comes to Chicago to assume the office of the most responsible positions in the Methodist organization. His coming to Chicago will welcome and in spite of the very inclement weather a good sized audience was present at the amply repaid for braving the stormy night. Dr. Carey, the pastor of the church, made an address of welcome on the part of the church and was chairman of the evening. Dr. C. E. Bottler, which was welcomed by welcome. Dr. Thirkfield on the part of the professions. It was a creditable effort. Dr. A. A. Wesley then in a poetic and eloquent addressee welcomed the doctor on the part of Dr. Thirkfield was then introduced and delivered a most stirring address upon "The Black Samson." We do not desire to be over zealous in our praise, but we are committed to our convictions and desire to be placed on record by the same nature. We are one of the most thoughtful, eloquent and convincing talks it has ever been our pleasure to listen to Dr. Thirkfield is of white man who can look at the race of problems. We are not always the A. A. and the others. He speaks from the convictions of his heart and not from theories. He stands for the best the Afro-American race can produce and thinks the race capable of the second chapter. We congratulate Chicago for having in its midst such a friend and hope that his work in this city will not remove him from the work for the race needed in the North. After Dr. Thirkfield's lecture the following years have been in the course of room: Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkfield, Dr. and Mrs. Carey, Dr. and Mrs. Bentley, Mr. and Mrs. S. Laing Williams, Dr. A. A.

Her mother travels with the company to take care of her and she has all sorts of attentions showered on her by the other members of the company. Baby appears at every performance and while she cannot speak a word, it is said that she is letter perfect in her part and never misses a cue. The baby appears the third act of "Hearts of Oak" and quite a long scene is devoted to her. It is said to be quite remarkable the way the little one seems to enter into the spirit of the thing, as it might certainly be supposed she would be frightened by the noise and lights, but it is said that this is not the case, and that baby coos and laughs with delight when the times comes for her appearance. WHAT A BLACK MAN **Saw in a White Man's Country.** The above is the title of a book which he had written, published by Rev. William S. Brooks, pastor of St. Mary's Church, Minneapolis. Its description of a visit of the author to Europe and especially to Sweden and Norway, the "land of light Sun," it is quite interesting in every way, and he writes with quiet wit and humor, together with much valuable information. It is dedicated to his wife, of whom he says: "Who should not encourage but inspiration." There is about the style of the author's writing which makes on one feel he was listening to an oral presentation of the subject matter of the book, and in many ways of the book, in a prefatory note, "it is to me as though it had been prepared for oral delivery, and I think he might do it in that manner." The APEAKER is great pleasure in commending the work and great pleasure in meeting the author. Not Very Much.

The lady called out, "Would you know that some butter was strong enough to run?" Seriously, habit has a strong hold upon every person. Would you be able to do anything he continues doing it.

Bargett has been confined to her i e with nervous prostration brought on by over work. W. H. Hawkins was called to Washing, ton, D. C. by wire. He left on the morning of the 9th, for his post. The reason THE APPEAL agent did not address the Sundae Club was because that he was not informed that he was expected. Mr. Geo. H. Bland had a hop at his residence on Seventh street, in honor of Mr. W. H. Hawkins. All present had a delightful time. Mr. James McDonald's funeral services were held at Salem Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. His remains were intered in Union Cemetery. Missouri Louis Young, Harry Jones and W. B.

White's residence. They knocked at his door at a late hour, with the intention of rushing in upon him when he opens the door and to murder him if necessary in order to carry out their designs. Mr White was too sharp to be kept napping. As he was alone he armed himself and waited for them to force their way in, but they skipped after they found that they bed run upon the wrong man. The Bon Air Club gave a luncheon after the theatre to a party of ladies and gentlemen who were playing at a local theatre. During the luncheon a dispute arose as to who had the smallest feet, the Chicago or the Cream City ladies. Matters became so mixed up that all present drew their razors and cleared the room for action. The proprietor of the saloon eating at a glance that he was about to have a Boer war on his hands brought out his rapid fire gun and brought it to bear upon the crowd compelling them to play down their Wade & Butchers and to his surprise he counted 42. He says that he believes that all Chicago women who travel on the road are well protec ed as well as the Cream City deminimous as they all act like. MUST PAY Subscriber Who Failed to Notify the Publisher to Stop His Paper. Justice Johnson, of St. Paul, has decided in the case of the Old Pellows' Review against John Gaffey, that if a subscription is limited to his address, he must first pay the publisher the amount he owes for subscription, and make a request that the paper be discontinued to his address. The facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid for the Review for one year, and that continued to accept it after his subscription had ended, Let the employee his address without notifying the publisher, and claimed not to have received the paper. This, the court held, was no fault of the publishers, who received judgment for the amount due and costs. Some realize after marriage that the "apple of their eye" is a crabapple.
