POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN DISCUSSING THE CENTURY'S END. How the System of Counting in Years of Our Lord Came to Be Used. The Mistake in the Date of Counting in the Middle Ages. New Year's Day. Flammarion Disposes of the Mathematical Muddle about the New Century. The close of the century and the discussion as to when the new century begins has attracted unusual attention to the calendar, and a number of curious facts about it which are not generally known. The fact that the learned and which have more or less a bearing on the question, will prove interesting. The ingenuous persons who are racking their brains to prove that the twentieth century beings on Jan. 1, 1900, threething over some pretty old straw. The fact that printing was important or attacking the date just before 1800, and the same arguments were used that are now employed. So it was before 1700, when enthusiasts had medals struck in honor of either view, and so the fact that printing was a new invention, or had not been invented, limited the discussion to oral debate, or what is more likely, men in general were content to accept the one church's view of the world without troubling their own heads about it. It is somewhat singular that the name "Fred" is used to save for the one year that justified the name. We talk of the first, the fifteenth, the sixteenth, in only one year in each, the coming year, and the numbers 1, 15 or 15 used in the name. We accept this century as the nineteenth accepted this century as the nineteenth year since 1601 began, and now some balsam firs its name over all the 110, 115, and 116 fans, to make the name suggest the number of the "Fresco" the year begins, speak of the "Fresco" the year begins, but with no idea of describing the century as other than the fourteenth or sixteenth. The church, which adopted and established the Christian era, called its first president the archbishop, allowing that computation it has regarded the completion of the hundredth year as the end of the century. It was to mark the end of the century, Pope Benedict VIII fixed the year of jubilee for 1350. He probably had in mind the end of the century, the jubilee that closed the 'great week' of 1350, seven and was the fifteenth year; and, perhaps, too, had some thought of the Roman secular games, celebrating the close of a century. The popes that followed the end of the century, various reasons, the intervals between jubiles, always designated the year as thirty-three or twenty-fifths, thirty-three or twenty-fifths, Leo XIII, in describing the year of jubilee 1350 as the close of the century, simple precedents and traditions of the church. Our own American era dates from July 1, 1804, the year 1 of American independence, and first anniversary of its birth, or on July 1, 1805, this is the year 124, or 124th of independence, and will end at midnight of July 3, 1800. The centennial of the Declaration of Independence, celebrated at the completion of one hundred years July 4, 1876. Nobody thought of taking the ninety-ninth anniversary of independence of the hundredth year of the republic, as beginning of its second时代. That began in 1876, with the Columbus celebration. So with the Columbus celebration. 1882. four completed centuries after the discovery of the fourth century, 1462. the end of the fourteenth centuries, consecutive time that that day marks America's history. It was the first day of the century since the discovery. No one knew of the fourth century ended or the fifth began in 1876. The present simple system of reckoning in years of our Lord now accepted by all civilized Christian nations as a matter of course, like the fact that the earth is round, or that it moves around the sun, is merely a chronological convention first heard of in the sixth century after Christ, which had to fight its way against established older systems. It took 400 years for it to prevail, but for a thousand years it has been used universally, though nations have differed about minor points, as Russia still does. The coming of the Savior made little impression on the world at the time, and the Christians for centuries would have had no more thought of altering Caesar's regulation of the calendar than of refusing to pay what was due to him. To most men the year of Christ's birth was marked as the consulship of Calvinist and Passenius; careful men noted it as also the 750th since the building of the city, or even as the thirty-fourth year since the divine Augustus had taken charge of the world; in Judea probably men counted the years of Herod as well. THE APPEAL. Defective Page date is right, for it is doubtful, and "the Evangelist is content with "in the days of Herod, the King," Judea was a minute speck in the Roman empire, which was the first of the world, and the world civilized world. The Roman later, the whole world, the world of the world, the world of them at one time held good through its whole world. The custom was to designate the year by the names of the consuls of that year; it must have been a cumbersome form of the year, and the name of the Consul of it was taken to have found it easier to use than the dates, for the custom was kept up after the office of consul had any meaning. In the end they served hardly any other purpose than to give a name to the year. The last one was gone, and the name of the Consul of it was Pavhus Bastilus. The last one was also a moniker, and the name of the world was dated the first, second and so-forth year from his consulship for a generation after him, and his name, all we know of him, crops out of the name of the Consul of the world. By the side of this a hundred years, it was a conventional era, and the name of the world was at the less popular reckoning in years from the building of the city, "ab urbe condita." This again was a conventional era, and Roman衰落 and the world was not at the same date. One popular difference as to the name of the world was that the name of Verro, put the foundation of Rome in the year which we call 753 before Christ; another, attributed to Cato, placed it in 752, others in 761 and 750, while modern 765 and 766 are the names of the world. That is what is差错 in the belief, however, and that all dates for its foundation are wrong. They are obliged, however, for convenience, to follow even the world by the Romans as clews in the time of the Roman chronology, and the Verro, of course, is the only one usually accepted. Then there was, besides, the plan of counting by the years of the emperors' reigns, which was still less common, though it worked pretty well, and did not change too often and when there were not too many of them at one time. Both the dating from the foundation of Rome and that from the years of the Middle Ages is in the fourth century by a system reckoning from the accession of the Emperor Diocletian to good reasons for this. Diocletian is one of the great figures in what he was lasted, and more remembranced. Much more attributed to Constantine by Christian writers is now traced to him. He reunited the whole lasted to this day. He also was the outside barbarians and marked the division between east and west that has on the whole lasted to this day. He also was the service that helped to crush the empire as much as Christianity and the barbarians did. He undertook too, to extrapulate further, the empire to the empire, by the most cruel and systematic persecution to which they counted years from his accession like other Romans for more than two centuries, though they tried to disguise their years by the titles of his persecution. It was a convenient mode of computation that East and West When Abbot Dionysius Exigus, the Little, came to compute his tables for the work of that Cyril, whose tables he was continuing, had reckoned in years of Diocletian, and thought that an improvement might be made to "to weave into our cycles the memory of that impious persecutor, but preferred the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, and he numbered the year of the first Easter which he added to Cyril's table of the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. That was the first time, so far as is known, that our count in years of our Lord was employed. The usage was for men, and when the Venerable Beat, the eight century continued, and imputed men, and when the Venerable Beat, the eight century continued, and imputed men, and when the Venerable Beat, the eight century it had become general, and many phrases were employed to describe the incarnation of the Lord, of the nativity, of grace of salvation, of the Word incarnate, of the redemption of the world, or simply the year of our Lord, annom domi, A. D. What reasons Dionysius had for making the year 247 of Dioclletian equivalent to 581 A. D. or 1248 of the building of Rome we do not know. His calculation was doubtless as correct as the information possessed by the antiquarians of his day would allow, and Bede, who was a calendar reformer and probably the most learned man of his time, found no fault with the date and adopted it. Modern theologians seem to agree that it is wrong and that the birth of Christ must be put from four to seven years earlier than Dionysius put it, so that the nineteenth century really was completed somewhere between 1893 and 1898. The mistake has lasted too long, however, to be remedied now. All we can do is to admit that the Christian era begins unscientifically from four to seven years after the nativity. However absurd and illogical it may be to say that Christ was born in the year 4 or 7 before Christ, it is a less evil than would be the inconceivable labor and confusion that an attempt to set straight now all past dates, even if the scholars could agree on some year for a starting point. Mistake and all Dionysius's account is adopted by the church; the first year of the year was believed to have been Dec. 25 of the year of R. 763, and the era started with the following Jan. 1, 764, the beginning of the official Roman, Julian year. There was no thought of a year 0, the year immediately preceding the year 1, A. D. was called the year 1 before Christ and the notation backward from that year was applied to all previous time. Dionysius knew that his date was not written, but he knew that he had to make the error a week rather than with the established state measure of time with which all men were familiar. He knew that he had to be might, of course, have begun a year earlier, with that at whose end Christ was born. He knew that he would spread his system throughout the whole world, for the Roman world was Christian then, and the need of fixing the right date was growing. Easter, and the feasts dependent on it made it essential for the church to keep the date, and the feasts dependent on it made it essential for the church to keep the date, and the feasts dependent on it after the Council of Nicea decreed that Easter should be celebrated on the same day as the Christians and decided who should fix the day. Countless other scales for numbering years have been used in different countries, but they are not used to the Christian era. Their starting point is commonly the year of a ruler's access to the Hegira or the Declaration of Independence. In England, for instance, this year has, however, one point in common, they begin with a year 1 and not with a year 2. In France, they begin with such a year, those of reconciling by years from the beginning of the century before the beginning could be counterbalance the infinite eternity after which history have been finite. They are all of comparatively late origin and have never come into popular use.

The world era computations are the Byzantine, by which the first day of creation was Sept. 1 of the as late as 1700. This was used in Russia as late as 1700. Julius Caesar did a great service to the when he directed his astronomers to stratae of the earth provided a fixed unit of time. His year of 865 days, with a leap year of 868 days, gave a slight inaccuracy, which in twenty centuries moved the seasons about a fortnight caused little inconvenience if it had not been a matter of vital importance to the Christian church that the Easter festival was the time of the vernal equinox. It was to remove all uncertainty about Easter that the Julian calendar and succeeded in having the correction adopted, though it turned out more or more accurately at outing on ten or more days after reckoning of the nations as they accepted it. All Europe now uses the reformed calendar and Russia and the other orthodox countries. With Caesar's new year came a new artificial beginning to the year, in the middle of winter, Jan. 1 being taken instead of the old beginning in March. That, too, has lasted in spite of the efforts of the Christian church to change it to some church festival or the very widespread inclination to begin the year with the change of seasons in the spring. It involves miscalling the last four months—September, October, November and December—which were rightly named originally the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, counting from March. For the first three or four centuries the church did not interfere with state institutions and was content to follow the state calendar and begin with Jan. 1. After that it tried to employ great festivals as the beginning of the year, and throughout the Middle Ages new years dated from Jan. 1 are rare. The attempt was made, too, to connect the day with some event in the life of Christ, and that was found in the Circumcision, which feast gives its name to the form of reckoning. The two great events in the year for Christians, however, are the aniversa- U.S. BEER. TAKING UP THE FIR ries of the resurrection and or the burn of Christ. Easter Sunday would very likely be the day when the Year's day if it had not been necessarily connected with the Jewish Passover, and, therefore, with the changes of the moon, it would be the day when must be the Sunday following the spring full moon—the first full moon after the vernal equox. Consequently, it may be April 22, and the difference in date in successive years is often wide. In spite of the inconvenience of making the years of Easter a special day, beginning the year at Easter prevailed through the greater part of France down to 1633, and in many of the neighboring countries. Whatever reason the church had for fixing it, Dec. 25 as the day of Christ's baptism, it cepted early and universally. It was used as the beginning of the new year by the church, and at first, and is found in all the countries where they had power. It struck deep root in Germany, where it was the common language of the sixteenth century, and lasted in places into the seventeenth. It was used in Italy, Spain, France and England as well. The idea that Christ's coming should date from his birth, but from the very early prevalent and lead to a New Year's day on March 25. Annunciation day or the day of the Virgin Mary, Christmas. It had the advantage of bringing the beginning of the year in the spring, satisfying the cavering for a name, and the Roman beginning with March, and the end with April. It was also pretty near Easter.

In England, the year began in month to show, the old style reckoning in the new style notation, but also for the first three months of the year. In the February and March to January, the new style notation, but also for the time called 1646, March 31, was New Year's day of 1649, and that year confined the time called after, with the introduction of the new style. The counting was more confusing where Christmas began the year, owing to its new style, and where the number they called the week from Christmas to New Year's "between the years," and refused to sign any doubt about the middle of this century—N, Y, Sim.

A CAREER FOR THE GIRL. Home Duty to Be Preferred Where Necessity Doesn't Call Her Away. Corn is the best food, the daughter of the home shall do. school and college are finished, is becoming, in most families, almost as pertinent as life work of the son. This, too, where there is no question of the necessity for active times has diffused itself on all sides. We see young women rushing everywhere that the world's workers are found. There is no intention to offer any criticism in this regard. Women who can take care of themselves to do it should do it if there is no reason why they should not. The point is that they should have career (the word being used in its generally accepted sense) is whether it is justifiable which the applicant herself placed. A young woman started out a few years ago toward what seemed a brilliant future in scholarly attainments. Her record at the preparatory school was excellent, and through two years of college life her advancement more than justified the expectations of her friends. It was a surprise, therefore, to one of them, to meet her in the streets of her home city in the early winter of what would have been her junior year at college and to hear that college had been abandoned for home. "Are you ill," she was asked, "or tired of your ambition?" "No," was the reply, "it is neither of those reasons. The idea has been impressed upon me until it has become a conviction, that my duty lies at home. I have been away steadily for five years. To finish the course I had laid out for myself meant two more years at college and then two at least in post graduate work, one of which I hoped to spend abroad. You know my parents have no one but me, and though they have patiently accepted my almost continual absence, little things have shown me what it has cost them. I have considered the matter carefully and found that, after all, my ambition was selfish. There is no need for me to get all this special knowledge, or, at least, to get it so rapidly. I am studying at home and attending lectures here in the line in which I am interested, and in the meantime I am making my father and mother very happy."

That objection would be valid, and it would be better to them. Here was a girl of pronounced but not rare, ability.

GARFIELD'S GHOST HUNT President Garkeld was About to Visit a Haunted House. When Assassinated-His Close Friend and Double, Mr. Smalley, Had Interested Himself in a Case Having to Do With the Occult and Had Arranged a Secret Trip for the President. Apropos of the statement made by the Rev. Dr. Hills, of Plymouth church, concerning a mysterious visit of Abraham Lincoln just before the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, there is another bit of history in something the same line. That also involved a clandestine visit of a president of the United States to a president of the United States to the president. The visit, as a matter of fact, did not take place, for a tragic event that started the whole world prevented it. But it was all fully planned, and would have been carried out to the letter but for the president in question. There was how ever, a difference in the nature of the two mysterious presidential visits which was perhaps characteristic of the men. Lincoln's errand was to seek advice on a step of grave national importance; the other president's errand was to see a ghost The late Eugene Virgil Smaller, editor of the Northwest Magazine, who died in St. Paul about two weeks ago, was a man of the queer presidential trip in question, and a curious series of coincidences incident to Mr. Smaller's close personal relations with the president and to certain characteristics common to them both. The story of many interesting reminiscences of public figures could have made a most entertaining book had he chosen to do so. During the time Mr. Smaller was the Washington correspondent of a New York newspaper he bore a strong personal resemblance to James A. Garfield. Garfield the less one of the great men in Washington at the time, a man who always attracted attention on the streets and in public places. The resemblance between Smaller and the congressman from Ohio was so great the one was often mistaken for the other. It was a natural consequence. It was more a resemblance in generalities than in detail. Their features were unlike, but they were of much the same size and build, their gender alike in color and form, and the gender same in color and form, of their heads was very similar. But the resemblance was not merely physical. They had many habits of mind and sympathies in common, a circumstance, among others, which made them more sympathetic, in being in Garfield's rather poetic temperament of mysticism, a fondness for the occult which needed little cultivation to have led Gutcaeus's victim into paths which other men of great talent and strong imagination have followed until led by them in the pursuit of the occult. Philip Gauter 'ays there is in every mind a certain dark chamber where bats of superlumination lurk, only needing the right kind of prod to set them fluttering their uncanny wings; obscuring the realism of the dark shadows and quarer phantoms. In the case of Garfield this dark chamber was large, and the 'door was easily opened. If a discreet and sympathetic hand touched the spring. Saulley's mind was precisely similar in the other of the more untramured conditions of the newspaper correspondent's life, as compared with the politician, gave him the privilege of an 'indulgence in mystic examination' which was denied to Gen. Garfield. He had conferences on the subject, and each found in the other a sympathetic confidant. At about the time of Gen. Garfield's inauguration there was much stir among York spiritualists over certain strange events, including a place in a house in Astoria. The owner of this, a hard-headed business man who had amassed a large fortune in the distinctly material occupation of making money, had the misfortune the winter before to lose his job, and whom he idolized. She died in Florida after a lingering illness. The shock utterly shattered her father's nerves. He brooded upon his loss until it became the reality. He prattled himself in business, and after a time did succeed in freeing his mind from sorrow while actually in his downtown business office. But the moment he enveloped himself in the privacy place of the old fashioned seaside grounds, and a fine lawn in the rear, sweeping down to the East river—the old grief came back to him with its crushing weight. It did until a strange event occurred which he at first told only in confidence to a few intimate friends, and which, with other equally strange events that followed, seemed to make quite another man of him and to almost reconcile The extraordinary story he told his friends was this: He had gone to his home one afternoon earlier than usual. it was in February, a sunny day and the sun was shining. He gate of his grounds. He had been unusually absorbed that day on an important business matter and his mind was still intent upon it when he entered his grounds. For almost the first time, he believed, since his daughter's death, the door would not come to oppress him as he entered his doorway. She was quite out of his mind when he walked into the large front parlor and started to go through the doorway to the parlor; the windows of which overlooked the lawn reaching down to the river. And by one of those windows in her favorite nook nook at his daughter. So real, so true to life in every detail of fea- ture, so real to her mind for the moment unburdened as it was from the sense of his loss, he for an instant felt no surprise at seeing her where he had seen her hundreds of times before. She looked with her wheathe she looked laughingly and brightly at him, which held up a warning finger which brought him to a standstaff with, for the first time, her eyes. She befallen and of the overwhelming charm $2.40 PER YEAR. ter of what he saw, or thought he saw, before him. He said to himself as he stood there that it must be that he only thought he saw it. The solid foundation he was reared told him that it must be that he only thought he saw what was before him. He closed his eyes and rubbed them hard to brush the hallucination away, then he took them again there was the bright vision he saw him, but with both her hands now busy weaving a curious filmy race which slowly to her feet in a sort of fleece spray which dimmed and melted out of him. Again he started forward and again the warning finger went up and the lace weaving stopped. And he noticed that the busy hand he ceased the work the little hand he used and with it the vision itself grew dimmer. When he stopped the hands flew back to the ghostly lace and the vision shone out stronger and clearer until the very end of it was a great girl who was dead was dead before him. Now when a solid manufacturer of pli- ron iron begins telling stories like this to his friends in the trade, it is quite easy to get the idea of a man at all events, think. They thought it in this case and said it, but售 it only in pity for a grief that had bred such hall- cultuations. But the strange narrative and came at last to Mr. Smalley, who was greatly interested in it. To all the quacks and sham "mediums" throughout the country it came as a trumpet to a man who had been a phalanxes. The combination was perfect—a man of great wealth with his mind wide open for "manifestations." And, of course, the manifestations came in the form of a series of imagination in the Astera house. Mr. Smalley was at nearly all of them for several weeks. There was that in the story of the bea- ful specter with her mysterious lace and the strange imagination. He was a writer of much clearness and grace, Mr. Smalley, with very conspicuous the gift of throwing about a story that he told an atmosphere of reserved reserve which was very convin- gled. He wrote paper after column in his New York paper concerning the events in his house—each story very striking in its detail and quite like a chapter out of "Spirite" in the delicate beauty of the manifestations. The writer said he saw the spirit of the man he was. It was reported then and there of the truth of much that spiritualists assert and that faith there born clung to him for years. But, however that may be, it will be guessed readily that he did not fall to talk with Gen. Garfield on the subject, Garfield, but the great responsibilities of his office had in no way diminished his interest in the topic he and his friend, Heywood, he so often discussed. The president had to be careful. Mr. Smalley's printed stories of the strange doings in the Astoria house and was still more moved by Mr. Smalley's accounts of them. He expressed a strong interest with his own eyes, but how could it be done? It would never do for the president of the United States to go openly to a table wabblers and table wabblers in the country would be making capital of it, to say nothing of political opponents. Obviously, it could not. But Mr. Smalley did not agree with this view of the president. He thought it be done, and he undertook to arrange to do it. It had now got well on to June 11, 1915, when the Williams College commencement "Go there," said Mr. Smalley, "and on your way back to Washington stop over a night in New York. You will get away early, and you will get back to your hour and then get back to your hotel. And nobody will be the wiser, for there will be absolute discretion on the part of everybody who is in the secret at the Astoria house. All of them all arranged that this should be done. A particular medium of much fame was engaged for the evening, and the iron manufacturer made all plans to receive his distinguished guest. The president himself was looking forward to the event, and he started for Williams college, got as far as the railroad station in Washington, Guteau's shot rang out, and all the world knows the rest. He punished house in Astoria, the ghost still came and went there. It degenerated from the beautiful vision first seen by the unhappy father down through all the hackneyed gamut of rappings and materializations of Napoleon, Shakespeare and other great heroes, and deed president a star figure in the ghostly group. The ironmonger lived with unshaken faith through it all for many years, and died consolled with the belief that he would be in constant communication with his beloved to go to join forever....eew York Sun. Bowter Again in Fashion. Boston Herald: There is a pascal for pewter just now; pewter made into all the knick-knackery that we have for the past few years been seeing in silver. There is about pewter a softness and pliability which make it a fascinating material with which to model, and, therefore, besides its use for small pieces, artists are working out some of their best designs in it. In fact, reduced figures from life and after the antique are being exhibited, along with those of bronze and plaster. Smaller pieces, happily within reach of many are bonbonleres, trays and ash receivers, mugs, plates and small figures. All of these are presented in innumerable shapes and designs. Collectors of mugs are being made happy by this revival of the use of pewter, and little short of a madness is about regarding the number and rarity of those seen at informal evening parties, or at other times decorating the side walls of dining rooms. The plates also are mostly seen as wall decorations and produce a stunning effect when well hung against a brilliant background. It is not difficult to keep these pewter ornaments clean. A good rubbing with a chamois every fortnight is all that is necessary. It is not desirable for them to have the shining luster of silver; the tones of pewter should be soft and gray.

Chicago, IL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1900. The Afro-Americans of Omaha, headed by Dr. O. M. Rickett's, propose to have the city council appropriate money to secure the Lincoln car and have it restored as nearly as possible to its appearance when President Lincoln used it and place it in a public building in Omaha as a curiosity. For years this curious piece of railroad equipment has been occupying a vacant lot at the Union Pacific yards, with other cast-off rolling stock. The company bought the car shortly after the Lincoln funeral and used it in the far West as a pay car, it being especially desirable for, this purpose, as it had half-inch boiler plate within its side, concealed by upholstering and mahogany. These plates were placed there as a precaution to prevent President Lincoln be shot while at the front, where he frequently went in this armored car. The Union Pacific found it desirable as a pay car because of danger of outlaw attacks. The car was the finest thing known to railroading --- MEN WITH GRAZY-QUILT FAGES. [Māori] REMARKABLE TATOOING OF A CHIEF OF THE DYING TRIBE OF MAORIS. Because the extraordinary manner in which this almost extinct tribe ornament their features, they are often called the "Maori tribe." It may truly be said that civilization is responsible for the decadence and the probable extinction of one of the finest tribes that ever existed, in the Maoris of New Zealand. This little-know race was born in the island and can no longer be classed as a fighting tribe in the community. Their history is one of continual bloodshed and fighting with the tribes of New Zealand and the British, who both came to the island to keep it but looking at the Maoris of day 10 is REMARKABLE TATTOOING OF A CHIEF Because of the extraordinary manner in their features they have been dubbed difficult to believe that they were once proud and haughty savages, who regarded with disdain the white sailors who occasionally visited them, mocking them as they walked because they were not trained to the same athletic degree of fineness as the Maoris. They keep up many of the old traditions of the tribe. Artistic tattooing is still a feature of the Maoris' personal decoration, says an Auckland letter to the Seattle Times, and nowhere in the world can finer physical embellishment of this variety be seen. Some of the older men still retain their proficiency at the spear exercise, and the chiefs are not wanting in dignity and hauteur, but the curses of civilization have done their work, and the Maori of today is not the Maori of fifty or even thirty years ago. At that time the Maoris were ferocious athletes. Alcohol was unknown to them. The Maoris were very fond of potato, the bulbous root of a kind of lily and fish and birds. They did not use tobuco. As a result of this abstinence they were very ruthless and rapidly. They eyesight and perfect immunity from cancer and blood diseases, and wounds and cuts were good fathers and mothers, attentive, indeed almost overindulgent to their children, the white children. They seldom hesitated to kill a weak or deformed child at the birth. This had some effect on the Maoris, the chief scourge of the Maoris was consumption, which was not brought to their children by the barbarous habit. The Maoris in New Zealand were a tropical race, who migrated into a temperate zone. They natu- in those days, but today it stands aside as the worst lot of rubbish imaginable. The Union Pacific has not indicated what it will accept for the car, but the opinion is expressed that it will be donated to the city. The car has a number of bullet holes and shell marks in it. In a recent sermon, Rev. W. H. Carwardine, of Chicago, said: "The Afro-American is part and parcel of this great commonwealth, and to attempt to eliminate and ostracize him is to undermine the basic principles upon which our government rests. The oppression of the Afro-American in this country is against the spirit and letter of our Constitution. He is here, and here to stay. He must be protected in all the rights of his citizenship. Where he is ignorant and degraded he must be educated and taught habits of industry. A government that had the power to free him must be strong enough to protect him in the right of his freedom. If he violates law he must suffer the law, and that law must not be lynch law. We have worse citizens in this country than the black man, aye, ten thousand times worse when judged by standards that go to form the ideals of a true citizenship." That's the right sort of talk, and when a preacher talks like that, we have some confidence in his Christianity. It matters very little to the general public whether Clark, the Democratic corruptionist who bought a seat in the U. S. senate from the Montana legislature, is seated or not. If Clark is THE APREAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ally shrank from cold and suffered from the change. At last the white man came, bringing with him the manifold curses of civilization, the horrors of the plague, into butcheries, and swept away a fourth of the race in twenty years. Run did some mischief, though not so much as among the men, but more than the incessant tobacco smoking. Various infectious diseases went through the tribes. The men, too, were sick, half laid aside the next, was another evil EF OF THE DYING TRIBE OF MAORIS, which this almost extinct race ornament "the men with the crazy-quilt faces." against a people already subject to consumption. When the British rule brought after a succession of diastrous wars, lasting peace, even that had its disadvantages. It deprived the tribes of their main business and excitement, and of the stimulus to keep in hard training. In the old fighting days the villages were placed on hilltops, or at the edges of tall cliffs in the healthiest spots in the islands. They have since been too often shifted to low lying, ill-drained levels by rivers, lagoons or marshes. Worst of all is the semi-idleness in which the Maori too often passes the year. He has grown fat, sluggish and unambiguous; too intelligent not to see that his race needs rousing and reforming, but too lazy, torpid and disprinted to get on his feet and begin the work. There are men still living who took part in the terrible war dance of the Maori, now a thing of the past, all eye-witnesses, hard-ragged and terrific. Hard-headed pioneers and travellers, unbroken by nerves, admit to the impression of horror left upon them by the attack they had suffered to the skin, the tattooed warriors roared, groaned, writhed and brandished their weapons. At one moment all leaped forward, the glaring white eyes of earth till it shook beneath them. Their tongues were protruded, their faces worked convulsively, their eyeballs rolled till the glaring white eyes of earth Dripping with sweat they seemed very demons in their frenzied contortions and excitement. ousted the seat will go to some friend of Marcus Daly's, and that is very much the same thing. The Montana legislature is simply a negotiable asset of the silver party in that state, anyhow, and the only "duty" of the senator from that state will be to guard the interests of 16 to 1. The National Afro-American League is making an effort to raise money to test the constitutionality of the Louisiana provision which denies suffrage rights to thousands of Afro-Americans. Contributions may be sent to the secretary of the Committee on Finance, 2011 Vermont avenue, Washington, D. C. Mr. A. T. Hall in his Afro-American notes in the Pittsburgh Press is in error regarding Charles Stewart's (Midnight) start in journalism. His first work in this line was done on the Louisville Bulletin, then published by the present proprietors of THE AP-PEAL. If you doubt it, Brother Hall, ask "Midnight." William McDonald, the basso with the Bostonians, by a singular chain of circumstances has been stricken with lock-jaw and cannot open his mouth. We know of a few singers (?) who, if so stricken, would be deemed by a long suffering public justly punished. Ethel Henry, formerly with Mrs. Langtiy in "The Degenerates," is about to make it rather warm for the Lily," who she claims treated her shamefully because jealous of her beauty. Women are strange creatures anyhow. Vishnu Expected Soon on His Last Visit to the Earth. He will appear before men riding on a white horse, and in his hand will be a sword, gleaming like a comet, with which he will annihilate all sinners and do the deadly work that must be done before the world can enjoy a new birth. On the lips of thousands of the natives of India are these words, for among them the belief is general that the time is at hand when Vishnu, their great god, will appear once more on earth, and they know that when he does come he will appear as a stay rider on a snow white horse and with an omnipotent, cometlike sword in his strong right hand. Any day he may come, and they dare not be unprepared. No matter what their casts may be, they must wait and watch for his homing. They expect him to appear within the next few weeks, says the New York Herald, and they say they have excellent reasons for believing that the appointed time for his advent has come. Vishnu, they point out, is the second person of the Indian trinity, and, according to popular tradition, he has already appeared on the time of the time. Since he first reported this life. In the other words, on the least nine distinct occasions he has divested of himself of his spiritual grab and has appeared among men, slotted in flesh and blood. Each time there was some important work for Vishnu to do on earth, the Indians say, "I am not until it was fully done, did I, and I to the realm of the shades. Only once I must still please him to visit the earth," and "that visit is now, by vout Indians," must be made, say, "because this is the close of the year Wikari, and all our religious records show that when this year closes Vishnu must visit us for the last time." According to Hindoo chronology, the year Wikari lacks the end of the present world period of the thousand years, which is popularly known by Kallang, and which must pass away before the world can be cleaned of sin and begin a new life. And this is the precise epoch when the final rebirth of Vishnu must take place, since it is he who will usher in the new order of things. Since the news spread of the famous old God's prevailed advent the attention of many theologians is being shared. Where has been drawn to the striking similarity in this respect between the religion of the Christians and that of the Hindoes, and the conclusion at which they have arrived is that the two religions must have had in some respects a common might. Only on this assumption, it is held, an on-point for the fact that some of the leading ideas in the two religions are strikingly alike. As the Hindos look for the final appearance of Vishnu, so Christians look to the coming of Christ. When Christ or Vishnu appears, said will, undergo a marvelous change. The Bible is eloquent on this point, and several theologians have pointed out that the Hindos are the most majestic reappearance, "riding on a white horse and with a gleaming sword in his hand. Thetheosophists in this country, and to all others who have studied the Hindoo literature or religion, this is subject of our attention again. Bhavnagar, Bhavnagar pointed out that during the present year the regeneration of the world would begin, and all Hindos old religious doctrines of India maintain that they cannot take place until Hindu appears.

It was produced on June 12 and ran continuously to paying businesses until Sept. 9, and then, after three weeks en tour, it returned for the Festival Fortnight, playing to the largest three weeks' business of the season at the Grand opera house. "Arizona" will be presented at the Metropolitan next week, commencing Sunday night. Encouraged by the supreme court decision upholding the law, the state board of barbers examiners will hold a session Tuesday and Wednesday all day in Assembly hall to examine applicants. And Monday at 10 o'clock they will meet to consider complaints against a barber whose license would have been attacked sooner except that the test case was pending. A mass meeting of St. Paul barbers will be held at 2:30 Sunday afternoon in Garfield hall to consider a grievance of the master barbers. Following the engagement of "McFadden's Row of Flats" at the Grand Opera House, Wm. Gillette's "Secret Service," which is built around a romantic love story, will hold the boards. The heroine is the beautiful daughter of one of the Confederate generals, who is loved by two men—Benton Arrelsford and Captain Thorne. The former, piqued because the heroine gives his rival the preference, endeavors to bring into disgrace the hero, who is in the secret service of the United States, and is in Richmond concerned in a plot to bring about its surrender to the North. Although the hero and heroine have differences in sectional sympathy, love finally conquers all. There was a social entertainment given at Garfield Post Hall, the meeting room of Biddle Circle No. 38 of the ladies of G. A. R. on Tuesday in honor of George Washington's birthday.

There were important questions which came up for discussion and decision, regarding which there was pronounced difference of opinion, which might under other circumstances have caused trouble, but while the members championed their opinions vigorously they yielded gracefully and good naturedly if the other side was victorious. Even when votes were decided in favor of one side or the other by the chairman the members cheerfully made the vote unanimous to show that there was none but the best of feelings. With this spirit permeating the party and its leaders there can be no doubt as to the result in the coming campaign.

Republican City and County Committee Makes Arrangements for the City Convention—Primaries Will Be Held From 5 to 7 o'clock Wednesday, March 28—Apportionment of the 336 Delegates Among Precincts—Some of the Delegates Suggested Later Convention. The Republican city and county committee, meeting last evening in the Lincoln club room, called the Republican city convention for the nomination of city officers for 10 o'clock Thursday, March 25, at Mozart hall. The primaries for the selection of delegates will be held on Wednesday afternoon, March 28, from 5 to 7 o'clock. The apportionment of delegates is based on the each City vote or major fraction, each precinct to have at least one delegate. This makes a covention of 336 delegates, divided among the precincts as follows: # Precincts Wd. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 14 7. 3 4. 3 5 4 5 5 5 6 9 11 12 13 14 2 32. 3 3 4 3 3 4 3 4 2 1 4 . . . 2 32. 3 3 4 3 3 4 3 4 2 1 4 . . . 4 34. 3 3 4 3 3 3 3 2 1 4 2 3 3 . . . 4 34. 3 3 4 3 3 3 3 2 1 4 2 3 3 . . . 5 26. 2 3 2 3 2 2 3 2 2 3 1 1 2 2 2 . . . 5 26. 2 3 2 3 2 2 3 2 2 3 1 1 2 2 2 . . . 7 45. 5 7 6 7 0 7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 . . . 7 45. 5 7 6 7 0 7 5 5 5 5 5 5 . . . 8 45. 4 2 5 4 3 2 4 4 2 3 4 2 3 2 2 . . . 8 45. 4 2 5 4 3 2 4 4 2 3 4 2 3 2 . . . 10 11. 4 2 3 2 1 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 . . . 11 12. 2 6 3 1 . . . # Favor Long Campaign. There were persent twenty-seven committeemen, Chairman Smith and Secretary Selb officiating. The date was first the morning of Green proposed April 3. M. W. Fitzgerald suggested March 29. The latter view was championed by Col. Bowenstein, Mr. Fitzgerald and F. H. Griffin. They pointed out that with the usual delay of four or five days in the appointment of the executive committee, then something like a week for organization and mapping out the plan of campaign, the actual working time would be cut down to two weeks at the most. They contended that this wasn't enough. They also contended that March 29 was hardly early enough. The Republican party had nothing to fear from a long campaign. Mr. Breen was not strenuous for the date he suggested. August Kaldunski threatened. A Jack—Who's your friend? Oscar—Friend? That isn't a friend. That's my wife. was done in the last week anyway. But the committee by a decisive majority decided upon the earlier date, and settled upon March 28, from 5 to 7, for the primaries. Alex Lindahl, for a committee designated last week by the executive committee, reported that after examining the available乳房 the committee was of the opinion that Mozart hall was the most suitable. Six hundred persons can be seated on the floor, about 300 in the galleries, and there are plenty of rooms in the building for committee meetings and caucuses. Accordingly Mozart hall was named. Then came the question of the appointment. August Kalduski moved that the McKinley be taken. J. C. Berchardt wanted the Kifan vote. His proposition received the votes of A. A. Rene, F. Gacksetter, E. M. Paris and Adam Bohland besides his own, and the McKinley basis was ordered. The precinct committee in each precinct will designate the polling places, subject to the approval of the city and county committee, and the list of places chosen will be published before the primaries are held. 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 Odd Fellows' Review against John Gaffey, that if a subscriber desires to have a paper discontinued to his address, he must first pay the subscription, and make a request that the paper be discontinued to his address. The evidence in the case brought forth the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid for the Review for one year, and that he continued to pay the subscription had expired. Later he changed his address without notifying the publisher, and claimed not to have received the paper. This, the court held, was unlawful, and the publishers, who received a judgment for the amount due and costs.

The Rounders ball which was given at the West Side Armory on the 18th lst was a very tame affair. It is surprising the number of young men who have been brought up by respectable parents and who will persist in attending these slum balls that young men in this age to a certain extent have lost sight of all morals. It is who can sink the lowest in the muck now a days. The following is the programme of the Sunday Club on the afternoon of the 18th: Address by Mrs. S. H. Minor; Address by Prof. S. A. Robin; The benefit of the Club, Col. L. H. Palmer who returned from an extensive trip south, lectured on his trip south which was very interesting and present. Mr. W. H.

But their hearts failed them if they are in possession of such, as they are in possession of the will touch one while sick.让 sick be worse than sick, and让 pleasure so great as the pleasure of helping our neighbors, it is the mainspring of human happiness, and more it is the source of Salvation, for it developes the best in a woman or man, it makes it possible that it proves that they are good to do one deed of kindness to some forlorn, lonely or stricken soul. SECRET SERVICE At the Grand Orchid House, St. Paul. "Secret Service" which is to be presented at the Grand Opera House next week ran for over 300 nights in New York, 150 nights in Boston and nearly two years in London. The action of the piece centers about one, Louis Dumont, of the United States Secret Service, who, under the alias of Capt. Thorne, of the Confederate Army, is in Richmond on a most detailate. At this time the Federal forces were intrenched before the city, endeavoring by all possible means to break down the defences and capture the Confederate capital. It was necessary that some daring men should act as spies to enter Richmond, and by some means secure an appointment in the Confederate Telegraph Service that a false message might be sent to the rebel troops on a certain line of the defences to move their position, thus greatly weakening the defences at the vital point. An assault of the Federal forces at this opening would undoubtedly prove successful. This dangerous and delicate duty was intrusted to Louis and Henry Dumont, brothers, two of the most daring men in the Secret Service, men who were always ready to undertake the most hazardous enterprise, and willing to throw away their lives for their country. While in Richmond Lone Dumont falls in love with Edith Varney, the daughter of a Confederate general who reciprocates the affection. Capt. Thorne's indentify is supected by Benion Arnellaford, of the Confederate Secret Service, his brother having been captured, was caught sending a message by an old slave to the Varney home, supposed for Capt. Thorne. The house is surrounded by troops and Dumont's brother a prisoner, under the pretext of escaping, is allowed to run through the parlor, Arnelsford trusting that if Thorne was really Dumont he would assist his brother to escape. The former suspects the plot at once. He orders his brother to haunt. The latter refuge, then follows the great scene of the play. In the end love triumphs in a very pretty and effective way. Some realize after marriage that the "apple of their eye" is a crachapple. WANTED-SEVERAL BRIGHT AND BONEST persons to represent us as Managers in this add close by counties.
