ROYAL FAMILY'S NAME FOR THE QUEEN'S AUTOGRAPH BOOK. A Unique Volume, the Signatures of Which Constitute the Milestones of the Years of History—Rulalus Sovereign—Husband of Visited Windsor—"User's Field" War of All Queen Victorin's Son-in-Law the One Loved Best. 一 Among the most valued treasures of a personal character belonging to Queen Victoria is an autograph book, on the pages of which are signed the names of persons who have been engraved personages who have been born, borne, Buckingham palace, and more particularly at Windsor, during the sixty-three years that she has occupied the throne of Great Britain. To those who have existed of this volume of autographs, by Emperor William to his venerable grandmother appeals, perhaps, the more strongly because they know that he, as well as his consort, will not have been the historic castle on the banks of the Thames, once more inscribed their names and the date of their sojourn in that book, which, more, perhaps any other thing comprised in so small a compass, shows the extent of England's sovereign history; for a perusal of the volume serves to demonstrate above everything else the extent to which England's sovereign has outlived her contemporaries. It calls to mind the overthrown and kingdomed have been overthrown and kingdomed have disappeared, and seems to evoke the specters of a great throng of rulers and of celebrated statesmen all now in their terrible teathes at the hands of their terrible teathes at the hands of their The visits paid by forcible rulers and by foreign princes were far more importance than one might be disposed to accord to them at first sight. The princes of nearby continental monarchs had been influenced by political consequences. The course of their rule has been largely influenced by these. The queen receives from her brother and sister the gifts of autographs her body of autographs, in writing by the way, are comprised a number of American signatures, so exceptionally important. King Frederick William was at the outset of his career in the United Queen Victoria at Windsor, and later he was a prisoner in the hands of the people of his capital and forced to take them to prison. He was then men, women and children who had been shot down by his troops. And during that event he succeeded him on the hospital obliged to flee for his life to England, where he in his turn enjoyed the hospitality of his name in her autograph book. The closing years of the reign of King Frederick William became first king of Prussia, and after Jürgen German emperor apologized for the most violent description. William had been for centuries the most highly prized possession of the house of Hapaglia, down to the tomb he had wrested the duches of Schleswig and Holstein from Denmark, and had annexed to his dominion prosperous provinces, but likewise the electorate of Hesse, and the kingdom of Hanover, driving poor blind King George, a first cousin of Queen Victoria, and like many men, book into the exile in which he died. Emperor William's successor was that he took the sons-in-law of the most important toms-in-law to the best bove, and many were the visits which he paid to the lords of the court, the best scourge at the latter place being, however, suddenly interrupted by a violent tiff between his wife, the now widowed Empress Josephine, and numerous subjects of the latter's crochetie, cranky and terribly high Superior gillel, John Frederick's hundred days' reign constitutes one of the saddest tragedies of the century, is doubtful whether she ever suffered the most hardship when she travelled all the way to Berlin in order to take a last "swell of her tears" to the court, where she was doomed to suffocation only a few days after her departure. We now visit his grandmother at Windsor for the second time since his accession to the throne, is therefore the fourth ruler of Prussia, who was the first to be crowned tree, and she greets him no longer as the sovereign or a second or even third rate military power on the face of the globe, whose friendship England is only too gloid to secure in the present structure, and who is the most entwined moment the balance of power in the British resulting in a combination so mighty as to put an end to all the pro- pects which had been entertained of a continental union against England. Truly Prussia has undergone many and amabilis changes, and has intervened between King Frederick William's visit to Windsor in 1812 and there last week by his grand-naphew. A very important state visit and certainly one pregnant with great political consequences was that of Emperor Napoleon III, and Empress Eugénie to Queen Yves, Windsor, earth at the time of the Crimean攻占, which was the result of the constitution the first actual recognition of the emperor and, above all, of the empress, by any of the reigning families of Europe. Napoleon had until that time been regarded as a mere successful conquer of the藩es, and the state was not yet at the time of the Crimean throne, but been a disreputable chevalier d'industrie; while the empress was looked upon as an adventurous whose antecedents the most scandalous stories were current. Indeed, the wars of 1855 and of 1859, which resulted so disastrously that the state was not able to be brought about by the contemporaneous manner in which the courts of St. Petersburg and Vienna rejected all advances made to them by Napoleon and Empress Eugénie. Queen Victoria then as now was renowned for her strictness on the score of character of the court, and the status and privilege of her as a woman was the greatest power to admit to her presence, and her action, therefore, in inviting not merely Napoleon, but likewise his consort, to Windsor, where she treated them with the utmost distinction and regard, went so far to the court of the court of the Realist, and the imperial couple, both at the continental courts and even in France, that neither of them ever forgot the kindness of Victoria in the matter. Indeed, as long as he remained on the throne the emperor condescending the house and the greater of the English people. So that by her act of graciousness to Napoleon and Eugénie at a moment when they were the object of scorn on the part of every other reigning house and court in Europe, Queen Victoria was the only one to have been given the seven years of loyal and valuable friendship of one of the greatest powers of the old world. Napoleon was not the only French monarch whom the queen had the opportunity to book, and books like this book likewise so be found the name of King Louis Phillipe, who visited her once while still rule of France and who was the first to have been deformed and was in exile. The name of the present pope, while still papal nuncio to the Brussels court, as well as those of no less than four czars of Russia are to be found in Victoria's autograph book. The first is that of Emperor Nicholas I., who suddenly arrived without warning in England to visit the queen in 1844. To this day the object of his trip remains more or less of a state secret. But it is generally believed that he came for the purpose of discovering the name of the present pope in connection with his desire to follow Constantinople, and that he quitted the fiefessor more or less disappointed by the fact of his mission. The impression which he had given upon the queen does not seem to have been the gether agreeable. At any rate, her published diary leads to that inference. His son and successor came to Windsor-thirty years later, shortly after the marriage of his only daughter to Queen Victoria's second son. Alexander III. was a frequent visitor to Windsor and likewise to Osborne before he ascended the throne, while the present autocrat of Russia, a grandson by marriage of the queen, has visited her once at Balmoral since he became empowered by spent whole months at Windsor while was courting the lovely princess now his wife. It is to the affectionate relations then established between young Nicholas and the venerable young that is largely due the maintenance of peace between Russia and Great Britain—two countries which find themselves in rivalry and opposition in nearly every quarter of the globe. The Duchess of Alencon, of whom the queen was particularly fond, and who, when staying at Bushy park, lent to her father-in-law, the Duke of Nemours, by her majesty, used often to go over to Windsor, was burned to death in the terrible Charity bazaar conflagration at Paris. Prince Baldwin of Belgium, another near kinsman her majesty and a signer of the book, lost his life by a revolver bullet in an adventure of a questionable character in a mansion of the Avenue Louise, at Brussels, while at least two of the queen's former guests at Windsor—namely, Archduke John of Austria and the late Landgrave of Hesse—have vanished at sea without leaving any clew as to their fate. Many more names could be cited that call forth equally tragic memories, but these will suffice to explain why the queen's grandchildren should have nicknamed this unique volume "Grandmama's Cemetery."—Ex-Attache, in New York Tribune.

WON A JACK POT Represcuing $15,000 and Saved His Bride as Well. Poker is recovering its old-time popularity among the legislators at Trenton, N. J. During the last two sessions of the legislature some heavy games were played and the old times, when the lawmakers and lobbyists hurried away from the state house to stretch their legs under the table and test their luck, were recoiled. Good stories are told of the game that were played away back in the 1990s, and perhaps the most recent that which relates how a wedding was postponed because the bridegroom was interested in a good-sized jack-pot. One of the hardest players that the "regulars" had to deal with was James Rawson, who ran a general merchandise store down in Cumberland county, says the New York Press. He also was interested in the oyster trade, and, as the saying is nowadays, he had money to buy. In the winter of 1884 Rawson came to Trenton to help push through the legislature a bill in which he was interested, and one evening he got mixed up in a game of poker in the United States hotel with Sol Travers, Jerry Hoicomb and Dick Collins, three of the game players that ever drew cards. The game was innocent enough when it started, but along about 3 o'clock the next morning it had assumed proportionate calculated to make an ordinary player a player. The bets were made. Rawson was the youngest man at the table and had probably played no other than any of the others, but he had money and nerve, and the way he used both She: I can't unde made the other players keep their eyes open. There wasn't much difference in how he played, but the cards suddenly got freakish, when will sometimes, and began to run against him. The players wouldn't give up the game to eat and they had their food brought to them when breakfast time came. They had cards long enough to eat, then went at it, and kept it locked up. He turned his hat around, crossed his legs, got up and walked to the door. He did a pack of cards and did everything the superstitious poker player does to change his luck, but it wouldn't change. His luck was better. In the foremon, when he counted his capital and found that he had $200 left "garter" and naturally took a trifle grate. At last a jack pot was started about 10:30 o'clock and the cards were dealt around half a dozen times or more and nobody got openers. "Hurry up, boys and, open it," said Rawson. "I've got to catch that 11:45 train. I'm going to be married to-night and I must be in by 5 o'clock and dressed for the occasion." But the boys didn't seem to be able to hurry. They dealt and dealt, but the right kind of hands wouldn't fall, and finally there was a snug little pot of about $600 on the table. At 11:30 Travers opened the pot for $100. Holcomb and Collins stayed. "I feel just as if I was going to win that pot," said Rawson, writing some figures on a piece of paper and tossing it to the center of the table with what money he had left; "I'm shy $50, boys but I guess I'm good for it." "Your check is as good as your money," said Travers: Every bit," said Holcum and Collins, "But you'll never catch that train," received travers: "By thunder!" exclaimed Rawson, "I forget all about that." He looked at his watch and found that he had three minutes in which to get to the station. "There no use in trying to make it new he said," they'll have to postpone the wedding. "Til telegraph that I've missed the train." A few minutes later a messenger was sent to the telegraph with a message, and the game went on. The pot was $1,000 strong when the men drew cards, and the result was the most remarkable set of poker hands that the old-time players in Trenton recall. Travers was dealing, Holcomb called for one card, Collins took one, Rawson took four and Travers drew one. Everybody around the table saw that he was business ahead. Travers made a bid for a raise by betting $25, which was lifted $200 by Holcomb, and Collins raised the $200 so that when it came in, Everybody thought he would throw down his cards, but he didn't; he slowly drew a check book out of his pocket and wrote a check for $1,000 and shoved it into the middle of the table, thus raising Collins's $575. The other players thought he was bluffing. Travers met the raise at once and added it to a "raise" by betting $250. The amount that another $500, Collins simply saw the raise and Rawson lifted it to his chair and eyed Rawson narrowly. "You've pretty good nerve, old man," he said, "but you can't make me lay down; not on a four-card draw anyway." Then he saw Rawson's $1,000 raise and increased it to $500. Travers settled back in his chair and eyed Rawson narrowly. "You've pretty good nerve, old man," he said, "but you can't make me lay down; not on a four-card draw anyway." Then he saw Rawson's $1,000 raise and increased it to $500. "I call you," said Holcomb, shoving in $1,300. "I might as well take a chance for the money," said Collins, laying $1,500 on the pile. Rawson put down another check for $300. "Well, boys, I'm sorry for you," said Travers. "I've got four queens." He threw them down. "That beats my four jinks," said Holloway. "I don't beat my four jinks," but "it don't beat my four jinks," said Rawson, spreading out his cards. He had kings and an ace. "Thunder!" drew "draw" ex- "Thunderation, what a draw!" exclaimed Travers. "Twas pretty good," said Rawson, raking in the money. "I got them all in a bunch. I held up an ace." Rawson won $15,000, and $11,250 of it came out of the pockets of the other man, who was the biggest jackpot ever, won in Troy. OPERA THE LAST ONES OUT. It understand why people will patronize such a show After the money had been counted and stowed away in Rawson's inside pocket he issued remorse over his indifference to the death he didn't have long to mourn. The girl he was to marry had a mind of her own, and she received Rawson's telegram she gave to the graveyard, a north-bound train, came to Trenton, she arrived about 6 o'clock, in the evening. Rawson was delighted when he went to a preacher and were married. Sultan and Armenians Kansas City Star: The word comes that the sultan has issued an order releasing many Armenian prisoners, commuting the death sentence to imprisonment for life in twenty-four cases, ordering the rebuilding of churches, monasteries and schools destroyed during the troubles and extending government assistance. This relief is undoubtedly extended, or at least promised, to the consequence of the migration of the Armenians to other countries, and especially to the United States. The Armenian is a worker and a fruitful taxpayer, and his departure from the Turkish empire is a material injury to the country and the imperial treasure. Unless the Turkish government has changed its nature of late, most of the promises made will be broken and the Armenians will continue to leave the oldest country in the world for the newest and best. The United States really needs more ground to accommodate the people who find it impossible to live under other governments, and the Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rico will come in handy for that purpose. Turks Are Good to Their Mothers. The strongest sentiment of the Turk is his reverence for his mother. He always stands in her presence until invited to sit down-a compliment he pays to no one else.

It is to be noted, that the various colonies extend to be known as states, and each state is complete government. The federal government will have its seat in a federal government by the constitution. All powers not especially granted to the federal government by the constitution are the rules for admitting new states, the boundaries of old ones are practically identical with ours. One point of difference is the grant representation in its houses to the federal district. The two houses are identical, consists of an equal number, from each state, chosen by the state as a whole. Parliament is empowered to determine which must be uniform in all the states, until otherwise ordered it to be by law.

The federal government must bilateral functions for the settlement of labor disputes whenever they extend outside of a single state. It is to own, build and maintain the consent of the states. The governor general is, of course, to be appointed by the queen. He is to have an executive council, chosen by himself, and to hold office during his pleasure. Seven of the councillors shall be cabinet ministers, and they are to be also members of one of the houses of parliament. It does not appear in the constitution that the ministry is responsible to parliament or is dependent upon a favorable majority therein. Yet it is scarcely conceivable that the daring experiment is to be made of an executive independent of parliament. That would an application of the American system with a vengeance. That it would work satisfactorily under the nominal monarchy is extremely doubtful.

PRETORIA'S MANY ATTRACTIONS LEADING CHARACTERISTICS THE TRANSVAAL CAPITAL Its Prospects Are Bright — Most Agreeable of South African Towns for Permanent Residence Reflects the Eccentricities of President Krüger—One Product of Krügerism—Prediction That Boers Will Be as Loyal to the British Flag as the French Canadians. Pretoria is in many respects the most agreeable of all South African towns for permanent residence. It is on a high plateau, where the capital—a glimpse suggestive of Colorado in its virtue for those whose lungs are weak. Geographically, it is admirably situated as the prospective center of a nation not destined to bind Delagos bay with the African west coast and Cario with the Cape. South Africa is fortunate in having towns very different one from the other—each offering points of picturesque interiors, a noble table mountain towering majestically like a massive, drowsy lion at the gateway of the dark continent. Under its shadows are the ancestral avenues of the capital, two hundred years ago. At East Africa contrast, says Poultryn Bigelow in the New York Herald, we find a wide awake, essentially modern English town, with its streets lined with wich, and very little to make one realize that this is all some six thousand miles from home. At Durban we seem to be in a totally new world—part India, part Africa, with streets, bungalows, punkahs, palms, Zumuzi, eye of the newly arrived and distract his attention from the excellent municipal administration and the many evidences of modern progress at this essentially up to Only a few miles further is a splendid farm, dwarves, in Delagos bay—picture from the book but full of foul smell and saddening proselytizing approaches to within hard distance. We are reminded of the Turkish towns, bits of romance from the Arabian nights, for at a distance one preserved only the battlements of the medieval walls or the domes of sacred buildings. But we should never go ashore—a paddle past them far away under the opposite bank, by Bryan rather than contemporary history. Bloemfontein prepares one for Pretoria, as San Antonio in Texas suggests the Bloemfontein and Pretoria both cities. Bloemfontein and bicolor bucolic origin in the vast open place at the center where long oxtrains can find their counterpart at the heart of Boerland, duce or find quarters during the periods of religious congregation. The great diversity of Boerland makes their counterpart at Mexico an wherever the cattle interest predominates. Pretoria is not to-day so pretty a town as it was in the past, but it may be obvious which may be obvious. Bloemfontein gives the impression of good taste, of general comfort, of harmonious development, of a friendly environment and of Boer cabins with mud doors ranged alongside of pretentious government buildings built obviously to impress the city. Boerland grew into the empire treasury of this country in the institution so much money that it was rather embarrassing to know what to do to money, excepting for the indispensable Tanske cowboy returns to civilization. Tanske cowboy returns to money we all know what he is apt to do. Of course, the first thing is to make one, then buy some guady jewelry, few flashy garments, go driving about town in the handsomest carriage procurement, then buy some guady jewelry, all think of investing. The Boer legislators, who had probably never seen a £5-pound note until the Outlanders opened the mines at Johannesburg, commenced their career of political independence much in the same way. Instead of working slowly and spending the money for the future good of the country by establishing good schools and building roads, bridges and things calculated to increase comfort, they acted on the assumption that intercourse with their neighbors was a bad thing, and that to be strong they must remain a peculiar and isolated people. The money which should have gone to the construction of railways was diverted into the building of huge forts. Instead of welcoming Afrikaners to assist in their administration they preferred to import clerks directly from Holland and Germany, as though these might prove more loyal than even their own kinsmen reared at the Cape or Natal. The private residences at Pretoria are overtopped by monstrous government offices, where much money has been spent for show and little for beauty. Pretoria is in its way a reflection of Paul Kruger. That noble cattle herder has no political creed beyond hatred of the Outlander and loyalty to what he thinks is liberty. In theory he is the incarnation of primitive democracy, yet outwardly he decks himself with tawdry decorations, loaned to him by European monarchs, and apes sent-royal pomp when he drives abroad. We lose sight of Kruger's dignity, courage and political virtues when we see him driving about. Pretoria with all the nonsensical parade of a South African dictator. So are we apt to lose sight of the beauties of the town itself, because at present there is so much that is incongruous—such violent contrasts between the normal residence of a Boer patriarch and the mammoth public buildings in which he is called upon to legislate. Pretoria has an excellent supply of delicious water, which runs in refreshing abundance before the very doors of the inhabitants. This is an inestimable blessing in South Africa, where the one lacking thing is water. On the occasion of my visit to Johannesburg water was so costly that at the club men were frequently driven to wash their hands in soda water. Had the Kruger government spent on irrigation the money devoted to artillery and fortifications, I doubt if the present war would have been so popular. the streets of Fretoria are broad avenues, laid out to the great ox traction that the probability of -normal traffic likely to prove crowding. At present the streets are crowded with the population, and the expense of maintaining them and laying the dust is, of course, heavy. In my mind's eye I have a vision of Preston on years hence. It will be a city where the British under an Arafarkan flag to do for that city what Canadians are doing at Ottawa and Yankees at Washington.

Boer, Briton, Yankee and German—there were plenty of these even in that year who were heartily sick of Krugerism, much as they honored the old man for his past services. Men of affairs, who had money to invest, men who desired to grow up with the country—all men with progressive minds—were displeased with the pretexts put forth by Krugerites for keeping the country in a backward state. The modern Boer appreciates the necessity for liberal legislation quite as much as any Afrikan-der, and when England shall have demonstrated beyond question that she not only can conquer all obstacles in South Africa, but means to remain the paramount power in that region, then, it is my belief, the best portion of the Boers will throw in their lot cheerfully with the new order of things, and be to the British flag as loyal as are the French of Montreal or the Chinese of Wall-Hou REMARKABLE WATCHES Freak Timepieces That Have Been Ordered by Eccentric People. London Standard. One of the most singular watches I ever saw was set in a baby's skull, said a jeweler. A round hole about the size of a crownpiece was hollowed out of the top, and a gilt chronometer was there affixed. The skull, enamed and decorated, finds a place on an oak bracket in a private drawing room. It is said to have some romantic association; but this as it may, the owner values it highly. Twenty-eight diamonds encircle the watch and two bands of rubles take the place of teeth. I believe its value is not less than £300. A certain society lady wears a pretty watch set in a bracelet of human skin. The time keeper has nothing to recommend it, being of orthodox type, but the girdle that holds it has a history. Composed of the hide of an African chief, the wearer guards it with superstitious diligence; it brings good luck, she says. Rumor goes that a favorite actress daily wears a watch, the eunuch. Which is made of finely twisted strand of the tanned skin of a notorious murderer. Losing the second finger of his elf hand, a wealthy gentleman paid and sent her a gift of artworks so artistically manufactured as to defy any but close scrutiny. To hide the finger, he dressed a ring, in which was set a miniature watch, no longer than a six-inch diameter, so less action, keeps excellent time, and a dial is decorated with blue forge-motifs and wild pansies—the hands gilded. The ring is hidden in a hidden Hilder the Wearer. It is this watch that notifies it. It seems like a gem of many colors to the casual eye, and, what is more to the wearer. A watch on a finger nail sounds like a pearl necklace. Believe me or not, I tell you that a lady who frequently orbits rings, brooches, etc., at this establishment beats a wire chromometer on the nail to determine if her finger is the story exactly as it was related to greeting her friend. The nail refused to greet her pinky that was ordered. Having money to a miniature watchmaker, and three weeks later she surprised and shocked her friend by offering a hand in grating, in grating, in grating, "tick-tick." It is said that many of her friends copied her by order with microfiber thickeners. A professional strong man always appears in public with a gaudy belt, in the dress of a lady, in the belt. The belt is of leather and starred with the medals won during a career of ten or more years. A lady admirer and is gifted with diamonds, rubles and emeralds. Perhaps a watch set in the human body sounds rather tragic. A minute watch, ever its owner wills to the upper part of the leg supports the tiny marker of flooring hours. Suffering from cancer, a wound in place, an embrasureation, and, destruous of filling up space, our hero established a watch therein, embroidered in place of a golden chain winding up and regulation are required.

Watches on the hair are pierced and threaten to become popular, and daly chronometers set in the palms of gloves are sported in the hair. Watches on the hair are to be installed in borders of handkerchiefs, readily detached when they require the attention of laundered. This is going a little too far. But we know that many continental gentlemen of affluence are wearing buttons, every fastener being a timekeeper. We know that women worn as skirts by ladies. Even guys do not escape. A pair of dainty silver things were recently so embellished—the watches thereon being about the size of a watch, with gem-studded brims and gilt faces. Best Paying Railroad.

The Walnut Crop The English walnut is said to be the the most profitable of all nut-bearing trees, and they will yield field about 300 pounds of nuts a tree. The nut shells on an average tree are about per pound. If only twenty-seven trees are an acre the income would be about 26%.

SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1900. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has gotten up a cock and bull story to the effect that Frederick Douglass had no Negro blood in his veins. Some Mrs. Dale, who is represented as a "great champion of the Negro race," claims that Douglass confessed to her that he was "a white and Indian half-breed." The Chronicle continues: "This will astonish those people who have been for years admiring him as an illustrious member of the Ethiopian race and who have presumably erected a monument to him chiefly in that character. These people are evidently the victims of misplaced confidence. The peculiar talents of Douglass, therefore, came from white and Indian blood, if Mrs. Dale is to be believed, and the Negro is "not in it." The children he had by a woman of Negro blood, his first wife, return to obscurity. His second wife, a white woman, was childless. It is strange that Douglass never made this revela- tion while he was in active life and waited until he was about to die to make a clean breast of it. Perhaps, had he told the fact, as Mrs. Dale now does, he would have lost caste with the Negroes and been at a discount politically with the white abolitionists. But the truth of history has been vindicated again and we are curious to see how the old abolitionists and the Afro-American brethren will take it. Will they assail Mrs. Dale's veracity, or will they complain of being buncoed? On the Douglass monument a new inscription might be carved: 'Frederick Douglass had been a slave and championed abolition, but he did not have a drop of Negro blood in his veins.' As Douglass attributed his mental gifts to his mother, a half-breed Indian, it would seem that the aboriginal red man and not the black is entitled to all the honors of his production, as the white ancestors would probably surrender their claims and give poor 'Lo' the right of way.' It is very strange that this absurd story has just come to light five years after Douglass' death. There is no reason to believe that Douglass ever said any such thing. Anyone who ever saw the great Douglass knows that the African imprint was on him in complexion and hair, which was inclined to be crisp and kinky. No child of Caucasian and Indian parents was ever born with hair like Douglass', which was a perfect bush about his head. It is too late in the day for the Chronicle to attempt to bellittle Douglass' attainments and attribute them to his white and Indian blood. Douglass always acknowledged his Negro blood and was the champion of the Negro race. Leaving Douglass out of the question, THE APPEAL will, for the benefit of the Chronicle, and some of its Southern contemporaries, name some famous men of pure Negro ancestry. Dr. J. C. Price, president of Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C., was, by many, considered superior to Douglass as an orator. Dr. Price was a pure black, and had not one drop of Caucasian blood. Dr. Edward W. Blyden, the great linguist of the race, and president of Liberia College, is a pure African Negro, yet he speaks forty languages and is an author of recognized ability. Richard Allen, the founder and first bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and a preacher of power, was of pure Negro ancestry. Rev. Alexander Crummell, the great Episcopal rector, of Washington, and author of many books, was of pure Negro blood. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the greatest poet of the race, is a pure Negro. Rev. Henry Highland Barnett, the eloquent Baptist preacher, writer of ability, and United States minister to Liberia at the time of his death, was a pure Negro. Lawyer T. McCants Stewart, author of several books, and now the attorney of a syndicate in Hawaii representing many millions of dollars, is a pure Negro. D. Augustus Straker, a Detroit lawyer, and formerly judge of one of the courts, and also author of several legal works, is a pure Negro. Martin R. Delaney, who was a commission officer in the war of the rebellion, and the author of a number of books, boasted that not a drop of Caucasian blood flowed in his veins. Toussaint L'Ouverture, who whipped the great Napoleon's army and liberated Haiti from the white man's rule, was a pure Negro. Phillis Wheatley, the greatest poetess of the race, was a pure Negress. Benjamin Banneker, the great astronomer, was a pure Negro. THE APPEAL could name a number of others of pure Negro blood who have become famous, but the list is sufficiently long to prove that persons of pure Negro blood have left their impress upon the annals of the world.

THE APREAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER The Doom of Sing Low. Twenty years ago Sing Low had been a thin, meek Chinese colohe, tolling in the rice fields of the Soo-Chow province. Insufficient clad and insufficient fed, Sing Low had been a poor man, and but for the vows of his society society forbidding would have put a summary end to it—a double quantity of opium in the pipe is an easy way! But Sing Low had persevered and starved until he was able to exodus of many of his own society from the "silver Land") to the western coast of Mexico. With them journeyed Sing Low and his newly married wife, Fay Lee, for there was demand for Chinese medicine that the promoters told it loudly that they made a "silver land." For once the truth had been spoken by a promoter! Had you ten years after the exodus known the Chinatown of Madre de Dios, the restaurant and "tea place" of Sing Low you would have known the fact. For the Chinese colonists had made unto themselves a place of their own in the western part of the city, out beyond the marshes; and with the shops of the Chinese, who were in larger colonists, but full fledged citizens. In the very center of the Chinese civilization, and fronting a view of lot, blue gulf water, Sling Low's name was blazed in gaudy Chinese script over a tea cup and opium dum, while uptown, where Mexicans mined many most dCi congregate, another low adobe and pine boards, bore the legend: Chinese Restaurant of Sing in front of this restaurant generally sat Sling Low, not the Sing Low of the Soo-Chow rice fields—far from it. This was a very fay flow—fishing garmens, digital mats and about a sleek and shining head, and about a sleek and thrust into flapping embroidered slippers. can watch dangled from his sah, and yellow Mexican diamonds glittered on his surface, truly had Sling Low, head of the "Sons of Asia," disposed and waxed far in a far land. Inside the restaurant many Chinese waiters and cooks rushed about, serving all sorts and conditions of men at the manta covered tables. For Madre de Dios was a steamer town, whence hides at all times and bullion were shipped to be rained. California and even San Francisco, and many men have sold a little con carne, and tortillas of "American pies," in the restaurant of Sing. There were dirty greasers and swaggering, bearmed Mexicans, who drank bottles upon bottles of fiery mescal, and calm, deliberate, mixing Americans, who consumed untold numbers of pies and American canned beans, while Sing Lowers from afar, with a keen eye upon the collections of twenty years had he saved and tolled, but the other was would see the end. Then, with Fat, L.L., was now old and fat, and the 20,000 Mexican dollars that they had made he would go to San Francisco. Back to China? No! Fay Les had once timidly proposed it—for she had no children, and her heart was sick for her native land—but Sing Low said a decided "No." He had not yet forgotten the rice fields. And, because of these American lands even a coolie of her birth would be as mighty as a mandarin; he, Sin, is now in no import in China, nor would even his $20,000 make him a mighty man there in other words, better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven, or one's native land. To all of which poor Fay Lee had to consent, of course. Sling Low being a husband of so small persuasive power, parental of so small persuasive power, stick. and he hesitated not to chastise the wife of his bosom when occasion Christians say: "Wives, obey your husbands in the Lord!" Not that it often became necessary to impress this latter woman with the way of many women, fat, pompous Sling Low now, in the midst of his prosperity, even as she had once loved humble Sling Low of the rice fields, the way of many women. And, though she was not a child, she children for her to caress with affection, she was content to live the life that her husband bade, embroidering his costly dress. And she were his bonded slave, instead of his wife. And during the long hours that he spent in the opium house or in the secret room, she conserved herself with many cups of tec. and admiring thoughts of the brave figure that her honorable love was at the head of his society. Poor Fay Lee! I say "poor Fay Lee" with a purpose, as you will find. For, even as the best laid plans of mice and men go astray, so did the plans and hopes of Sing Low and his wife vanish into naught—through the fault of the man, of course. Sing Low, to make a long story short, fell in love one bright day. It is a thing that Celestials are not given to, for which reason Sing Low made a bad mess of it, and loved far more desperately than any other Chinaman on record—at least, so his sighing protests to the lady in the case ran. Not that he could be blamed over much, for Felipa was the prettiest girl, out and out, who had ever been seen in Madre de Dios—as well as one of the naughtiest. Her brother (a gambler from Mazatlan) had used her many months as a lure, and more than one hapless Mexican had come to grief for her sake, but Sing Low was the best game that she had ever caught. There is a Spanish proverb setting forth the same sentiment expressed in our own "There's no fool like an old fool," and never was there an old fool so deeply in love as Sing Low, who soon became the laughing stock of the entire very mixed population of Madre de Dios. Fay Lee. of course, knew nothing, and supposed that her lord's frequent absences were due to secret society meetings. To be sure, Ah Toy, she sprightly young wife of Sam Lung, had undered her丈力 to go to the deceived and neglectful with a full description of the doings and misdoings of the faithless one. But Fay Lee had first laughed unpro剩ly at what she considered a joke, and later, believing the tale a mallous lie, had turned her sister Celestial out of the house, with calmly expressed convictions as to the fate in store for liars and scandalmongers who could lift tongue against such an honorable and noble man as her lord and husband. Sing Low. Wherefore, Fay had departed, giving expression to many mighty words and tearfully saying—just as civilized woman might have done under similar circumstances—The next time she meddled in the attempt to open a deceived wife's view. Flacidity, indigent, yet somewhat miserable. Fay Lee went back to her embrassment. Fay Lee incident did not seem of enough importance to repeat to her husband, and it should dare not seem of enough importance to repeat to her husband, and it should dare to tell such things of her most honorable and faithful lord, expectant wife, however, when very late that same night Sig Low came home, not alone, much more severe for liquor. He had brushed her hair, and she brushed her hair, he stated, with drunken dignity, and Fay Lee must wait upon her, and Fay Lee must wait upon her, and she (Fellup) was to be, the honorable mistress of the house, and Fay Lee must bearrants must bear themselves accordingly. Your Chinese wife is no creature of high tragedy, and Ray Lee acted under her guidance. Her nanny, the nice lady should, placing perfumed water and powders and silken apparel for the newborn, touched Sting Low, touched highlighter for them. And only when her services were no longer needed did the supplanted wife hate from the house of her husband. She had a cousin who was a high official and a secret society; to him she went. Not a secret society, Chiese wife if her husband wishes to take unto himself a No. 2 spouse, for it is according to the law. But all things are not so awvised. Lee of his intention. It was not the law of dignity and self-respect had been transgressed by Sing Low, who had not so realize. Lee of his intention. Her family, the cousin was not so realize. But butuins are not prison and be avenged vately; wherefore the cousin was Fay Lee said long, but bled their time, having in mind a way in which they could be more vicious. For quite a long time, as much as a month. Sing Low was exceedingly happy with his pretty young wife. She had such apprehension, and she had not married the pority old Chinaman for the sole purpose of embroidering his clothes and waiting on her foot—not a bit of it. And so she emphatically stated. On the contrary, she was not so aware of the boxes at the bull fights and the one small theater that Madre de Dios posed and had no intention of being any man's slave. And so began the tormenting of poor old Sing Low. He soon learned that in the early days of his career, he variegated tartar, and that, unless humored, she could and would make his life a torment to him. Therefore, like a wise woman, he would have morened her in all things—that is, in all things but one. Despite her every endeavor, she did not what went on at the meetings of his secret society. On that one subject alone sing Low met mute, and no caecility or blandness. As time went on, and the influence of his Mexican wife told on him, Sing Low began to sink lower and lower, both mortal now, and more and more of the "black smoke" apple of his eye, his restaurant, with its American ples, began to be neglected, and he got about, and more than one high official of the secret society murmured distrust. Meanwhile a worn and aged woman hardly to the degree of the waiter, eager for revenge. And in the secret society of the "Sons of the Silver Land" one of the high officials went about among them; and was among them; that important secrets had more than once been given away and that if not located and dealt with the traitor would soon accomplish the All this came to a head one night when the most important meeting of the year was held. For more than a century, the society built with an ominous quiet crowd of Chinamen, who were waiting in perfect stillness, to meet the first of whom had gone to fetch their erstwhile head, Sing Low. For the first time in twenty-one years, the society of the solemn, and more than that, all the private records and documents of the "Sons of the Silver Man," was perfect stillness in the secret rooms, and that over in the corner one Chinaman waited, holding a huge racer-edged knife, and that with quickely among Chinese guilds. They brought him in presently, the cousin and another society member carrying him, for the honorable head was taken, and the opposing arm was opium and bad cognac to walk of his own accord. He was dropped limply into the corner where the Chinaman and his cousin were sitting in the set of members the cousin showed the precious papers and records that he had just taken from Sing Lowe's lilac vest, and the Mexican part of the town, while the society papers and records—had access to by only two men, the cousin and Sing Lowe, the cantina floor, to be seen there by all who might care to read. And but for the cousin, who had found them in time, the papers would have been distributed far and wide, the sun, and the society, "Sons of the Silver Land," with all its important secrets, would have been ruined, and many of its members implicated in all sorts of criminal acts, the gallows. The sin, of Sing Low had been a tremendous one, for which no atonement could be made, and there was no punishment, far as his punishment was concerned. The meeting lasted a long time, and finally Sing Low was released from the hands of his torturers, far more dead than alive. His drunken stupor had lasted but a short time under their hands, and, in a frenzy of terror, he awaited what he knew was still to come. The room was still now, and you could have heard a pin drop as the wretched man was placed on his knees just in front of the masked Chimpan, who held in both hands the great sharp sword. Another man, the cousin of Sing Low, knelt quietly in front of him, and drew his bared head and neck down and forward so as to meet the uplifted sword. Then there was deathly quiet as the huge blade ascended. It made a circle and a whistling sweep in the air before it descended slowly and touched the neck of the condemned man. There it stopped. No blood came, and there was no cry or moan from Sing Low, for the reason that the blade had just touched his flesh, and no more. Then the cousin stood up, facing the judge, and the executioner did likewise, holding the sword erect, as he announced, solemnly: "Honorable judge, this man is dead!" Five minutes later the Chinamen were dragged, still on his knees, from the room, and dung into the narrow, weed-covered trench, to be berg mercy, but his hips were stiff and dumb. Then he had clung to the judge's knee, sabbaring hysterically, only to be dragged into a Chinamen lost to caste and his moaned begged at the feet of his cousin, but he, too, had passed relentlessly on, paying no attention to a dead man, and all gone among the crowd Sng Low' own clerks and employees—and the dead crouched, alone and deserted of all, in In the early dawn Sing Low stumbled drunkenly homeward—not to the house in which he lived with his Mexican wife, but to Chinatown, for at the last, whether in joy, sorrow, death or disgrace, the heartless, and the criticalness of the people, such as they may be. And Sing Low had no thought for Fellip, much as he had loved her, or even for his restaurant, with its American sign, that had brought him so much money. The Americans or the foreigners would take him in surely, for he had his own money. He had a people, and cast him out, yet to them he had. Posted up in front of the opium den owned by him was a large bill, setting forth his execusion. He read it. Two other men, waiters in his restaurant, were reading it at the same time. His stained and smoked garment brushed against some of them, and the men mired back as if some dead beast were there. To these two men Sing Low spoke, but they seemed to see only empty air where he stood. He went into the opium den, begging for the "black smoke," but no one heard the word. All the men seat and lying at the fire of the clouded cloussing of the execution of the once respected Sing Low. Unable to endure it, the poor brute slunk out, jand wandered distractedly about the streets. He was unnoticed, and even when in the early morning he begged for bread not a crust, he was given him not a drop of water. He was dead to his people, and his dead voice was unheaded. For two days the torture of Sing Low he kept into his own restaurant and he crept into his own restaurant and Allensworth, Allen: The Kiss. Allen, F. B: Chips of History.

From the Youth's Companion: According to the recent studies of Signor de Sanctis of Turin, children begin to dream before their fourth year, but are unable to recall dreams before the age of 4 or 5. This age, he concludes, is when a child first becomes distinctly conscious of self. Aged plea dream less frequently and less vividly than the young. Women's dreams are more frequent, more vivid and better remembered than those of men. Criminals and delinquents dream much less frequently and much less vividly than other people. Two-thirds of the most depraved criminals examined by Signor de Sanctis were never conscious of dreaming. This is ascribed to lack of mental activity. The healthiest spot in the world seems to be a little hamlet in France named Amone. There are only forty inhabitants, twenty-five of whom are nearly years of age, and one is over 100. The authorities in Algeria gave $40,-000 toward fighting the grasshoppers. In one section 3,200 camels were employed to carry the material for burning over the places where eggs had been deposited.

The executive committee of the State Republican committee will meet in a few days to amend the call for the convention to nominate State officers, so that it will provide for the indorsement of a United States senator. The meeting will probably be held in the office of Chairman Steele, in Minnesota. The masquerade given under the auspices of St. Peter Clavens Sodality, at Twin City Hall, was a corker. It was thought by many who were present to have been one of the best affairs ever given in the city. A large crowd was present and many original unique, beautiful and comical costumes were worn. Everybody had a good time. St. Paul is indulging in the unique luxury of a lady barber, or perhaps it would be better to say a lady tonsorial artiste, Mrs. L. Gordon. She may be found at No. 99 East Fifth street, and those who don't believe she can give as good satisfaction as any male biped in town need only to give her a trial to be fully convinced of their error.

Quarterly meeting next Sunday, March 11th. Kendrick Clark was brought before the Municipal Court in company with two soldiers, charged with assault and battery, Wednesday. Clark says he was walking down the south side of Seventh street, when one of the group of four soldiers standing on the curbing sarcastically alluded to a rose he wore on the lapel of his coat. This Clark resented, and as the soldiers displayed a belligerent attitude, proceeded to knock down three of them, and a general row ensued, in which, from the evidence in the case, the soldiers got the worst of it. Judge Hine fined Clark $10 and the soldiers, E. E. Bartscher and William T. Kean, $5 each. The executive committee of the State League of Republican Clubs met at the Windsor Thursday to fix the date of the State convention and to arrange for the co-operation of the clubs of the State in entertaining visiting delegates to the national convention, to be held in St. Paul, June 17. President Wright said the State convention would undoubtedly be held on June 16, the day before the assembling of the National convention. Then the State convention would merge naturally into the National convention. Plans for strengthening the organization were also discussed. It is proposed to extend the organization to every voting precinct in the State, and to make every member of the organization a worker for Republican success. On Washington's Birthday Prof. Emil Onet, a music teacher, went into A. J. Bell's barber shop in the Albion and was waited upon by E. J. Brack, familiarly known as "Little Joe." By some means a small bit of lather got on the Prof. trousers, which he accused Brack of putting there. Brack denied the accusation and one word brought on another. Finally Brack blacked Onet's eye in good shape. He was arrested on a warrant sworn out by the Prof. and tried in the municipal court and was fined $10, though every one who knows the Prof. knows THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER him to be a very disagreeable man, and none were sorry he got his just deserts. Lawyer McGhee was Brack's attorney and fought for his client manfully. Brack got the worth of his money, however, in the satisfaction which is in his in teaching one man that it is not always safe to presume that Afro-Americans will not resent wrongs and insults when heaped upon them.

The jury failed to agree in the case of Mrs. Ophella Rice against Police Officer Thomas J. Britt, in which action was brought for $1.35 damages for assault. The case was tried before Judge Elliott. The jury came into court and reported that they were unable to agree, after being out twenty-four hours, as to which one should pay the costs of court. The suit for damage was dismissed. It will be remembered that Mrs. Rice was placed under arrest last fall by Officer The fisherman are above on the stage when someone taped him on the shinaber, he said, "How about my dark opening scene?"

London is now faithfully going through its season of pantomime—not so brilliant, perhaps, and fresh, but it’s traditional and they must have it. Yet there are irrelevant critics who cry “chestnut.” The above, from the people’s comic weekly, Ally Sloper, is a sort of protest that the pantomime demon is played out, and really ought to go.

At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. That famous musical comedy yclepied "The Telephone Girl" is announced for presentation at the Grand the coming week, preparations are being made to entertain a large audience and it is pretty shrewd guesses to say the management will not be disappointed. The play is something of a novelty and differs materially from the other "evil" shows. It goes with the swing that the public is fond of and leaves no room for ennui. The music is very bright and pretty and of the kind easily understood and whisked. Dave Lewis as Hans Nix, the PLENTY telephone Inspector, is the central figure and his German burlesque is extremely clever and kept up with unflagging spirit and zest. He is ably assisted by Miss Jessie Merriles, who is a versatile lit: lectres, a good singer and as chaming as she is veratile. The tipy scene in the second act is admirably done, piquant without being vulgar. Snuffles and Toots, James F. McDonald and Miss Nellie Douglass, are very clever in little scenes during two acts and McDonald's singing is far above the average as is also his dancing, which is exceedingly graceful and agile. The other roles are all in most capable hands. The costumes and solemnity are very fine and are the same that challenged admiration from the New York critics. As a production it takes rank with any enterpriss at present on the boards. WHAT A BLACK MAN **Saw in a White Man's Country.** The above is the title of a book which has just been published by Rev.

The one consola- wind bag was to be used in the world, nor when they go out of it. Some of these were who know nothing of a court of law demand that we was outlawed and that Hon. W. T. Green was a fool for taking the case into court. The demurrer of Piets and Heck was over-ruled by Judge Ladwig the defendants being given twenty days in time to the their answer to the suit. Judge Ludwig told the injury complained of was a deftal of the right as Stiles and not a personal injury action such as the case that the states requiring notice. Now as the case is that we have passed the critical point it is hoped that all patriotic Afro-Americans who have enrolled their names to assist the executive commit- mills will pay their subscriptions as soon as posel- hic, and they may can find out who are the friends of the race. All the others have claimed to be friends of the race who have been of the by the committees, and have refused to enroll their names in defence of the race are cowards and we do not need their pennies, yet we can see these same people in public places where our people are the right to go.

QUEEREST OF FOSSILS Jaw of Some Huge Animal Found in New Mexico. The fossil remains of a strange prehistoric animal were discovered at postmaster Nusbaum's ranch, at Teusque. Alphonso Dockweller, who has charge of digging a ditch through a ridge on the ranch, picked up a piece of petrified bone the shape of a large tongue, but with a row of 12 teeth along what seemed to be the tip of the tongue. He dug a little further and found the remainder of what seemed to be the jaw of an animal that was part ichthyosaur and part plesiosaur, with part of the characteristics of the other plesiosaurs. The jaw consisted of about 20 teeth, bone in the shape of a tongue, and each layer was armed with a dozen teeth, which showed that the animal was herbivorous and not carnivorous. These 20 layers were evidently the upper jaw of the animal. Mr. Dockweller expects to find the lower jaw and perhaps all of the remains of the strange animal. As much as he has found he will bring to this city, and from here ship it to the Smithsonian Washington. Two layers of the jaw were brought to the city by J. G. Schumann, shown to friends, who were all part of their unusual shape. It is well known that the surroundings of Santa Fe abound with the foundations of Santa Fe abound with the site of the city was covered by a sea. Only half a mile up the arroyo and canyon that branch off Palace avenue, near the old brewery, pretty petrified seashells are to be found. At many other places there are signs of the erosion of waves and the footprints of gigantic animals that probably lived their home both in the water and on the land when the highest peak of the Rocky mountain range were only islands in a vast ocean.-Santa Fe New American. The Increase of Nationalities From the Paris American Register: According to a German statistician, Russia is the nation which increases the fastest—her population will double in about forty-five years. German needs sixty-five years. Austria-Hungary seventy, England eighty, Italy 110, but France can only do it in 860 years, provided the present annual increase does not diminish, which unfortunately seems to be the case. The loss of Alsace-Lorraine, with a population of 1,250,000 souls is nothing in view of the insignificant annual increase of France's population. During the last five years the population of Germany has increased 3,000,000, while France's increase has been scarcely 175,000—a considerable part of whom are moreover of foreign nationality. Some realize after marriage that the “apple of their eye” is a crabapple.
