CENTURY OF DEUELS, FIGHTS AND VIOLENT CONTROVERSIES. Wars of the Breckinridges, Wickliffes and Cassius M. Clay - Remarkable Duel Fought by a Near-Sighted Editor - The Know-Nothing Massacre in Louisville - The Killing of Swope in 1880. Kentucky's political troubles have been going on for more than 100 years. The man who organized Virginia and Maryland and settled Kentucky, and great deal of trouble with the Virginia politicians in obtaining the rights of statehood. It was six years after Kentucky first asked to be admitted into the Union before her prayer was granted, and the state's unceasing discussion was going on among the politicians. But in those days the politicians did not fight and kill, as they began doing later in the state's history. They were content to make stump speeches the subjects and to print pamphlets and write withering editors in the few newspapers. One of the assassinations believed to have been done for political purposes was the mysterious killing of Col. Solomon P. Sharp at Frankfort in November, the son of the late Justice of the legislature after having resigned as the lieutenant general under Gov. Desha, and in a few days he would have been elected speaker of the house of representatives, which place Gov. Desha was anxious that he be in a position to forward the interests of the New Court party. The Old Court party's leaders had been unusually bitter toward him in his canvass, and had taken the pickpocket. Two nights before the legislature he was called to his door, which is within 100 yards of the spot on which Senator William Goebel was shot, and in full view of it, and was stabbed to the heart with a knife. He was immediately and, although he offered within a very few minutes after the stabbing, he was unable to speak to her, and died without telling the name of the man who killed him. The crime was immediately door to door, the leaders of the Old Court party and the opposition papers vied with one another in saying abusive things about these leaders. In a few weeks it was found that Col. Sharp had been killed by a gunshot. I trieded Beauchamp's sweetheart, and that tried Beauchamp promise to kill Sharp before she would agree to marry him. Beauchamp was executed for the crime a year after its commission, and his body was taken to the hospital where she had been allowed to visit him. A noted political controversy occurred between the late Robert J. Brecknidge, father of Col. W. P. C. Brecknidge, a leader in the anti-dowell fight, and the lawyer of the case, Robert L. Lexington, and they hated each other. On the steps of the court house in Lexington one day in summer (it is to the London, Ky., correspondent of the New York Sun that we are indebted for these charges) he was speaking against Col. Wickliffe, who was present. His abuse was so violent that the knees of Wickliffe were seen to smite together. When Dr. Brecknidge was at the height of his invective against the "Old Duke" as Wickliffe was called, a lawyer in his head out of a window and yelled: "Give it to him, doctor. If you need any help I am here!" "Come down and let me see who you are!" shouted the doctor in reply. "I don't have to come down!" My name is Cassius M. Clay!" came back in trumpet-like tones from the window. It was Cassius M. Clay, then a civilian and an enemy of the Wickliffe's. Alas, the intelligence angle could not keep out of the diel with Col. Wickliffe, they never fought. But Col. Wickliffe carried his hatred of Breck-Inledge beyond the grave, for he willed that his body should not be buried in the cemetery at Lexington because Robert Breck-Inledge had taken part in its dedication. One of the first duels fought over politics in Kentucky was between Cassius M. Clay and Charles Wickliffe, son of Col. Wickliffe. They were both candidates for the presidency. They had abused each other so that Wickliffe called Clay out. They went to a secluded grove near Lexington, arriving there just as the sun was rising. Their distance, twenty paces, the distance, twenty paces. The principals took their places and at the word fired. Neither was hit. Again the weapons were loaded and again the principals were shot. The second was an excellent pistol shot, declared that the second had played them false and had not loaded the pistols with ball, he refused to fight further. The second afterward admitted that Clay was right, and the second admitted that they did not want to see two such promising young men kill each other, as they would have been almost certain to do had the pistols been properly loaded, like Clay was, a dead shot with a pistol. About a year after the trouble the editor of a Lexington paper, John Bennett, began abusing the Wickliffeons account of their politics. After several months, he wrote a book and wrote his editorials for him. One of these was so violently acusative that Charles Wickliffe, with whom Clay fought the duel, called to see the editor. Bennett had just got up from his sick bed, and when Wickliffe called he told him to go to the doctor. The doctor was the author of the article, but would do so the next day. In the meantime Bennett went out to see the friend who wrote the article and told him of Wickliffe's visit. The friend was afraid that Wickliffe would kill him and he would kill him. Bennett wrote the article. The next day Wickliffe called at the appointed hour. The editor told him he would let him know the author's name at noon next day. Wickliffe replied. Well, I shall be here when the clock strikes twelve to-morrow, and I want to know who wrote that article." He came on the stroke, and walked into the office Bennett dead without giving him an opportunity to defend himself. He wrote that Wickliffe to jail, kept him under guard at the home of Col. Col. Wickliffe. The political enemies of Wickliffe were furious and a large crowd of them gathered that night and went to Wickliffe's house and would have lynched young Wickliffe had it not been for the pleadings of a minister, who begged them to allow the law to take its course. The mob left, and Wickliffe, after securing the best lawyers in the land, including Henry Clay, who was a strong political opponent of the Wickliffes, succeeded in getting clear. Another editor was found for Bennett's paper in the person of a little man named Denton. He never flinched from what he thought was his duty, and he believed his duty was to attack the Wickliffe's on every occasion. He not only asaltered young Wickliffe and called him a murderer, but he also attacked the father and said that he was everything but what he pretended to be, a gentleman. Young Wickliffe could not stand this and he promptly challenged Denton to a duel. Being the challenged party Denton said he wanted shotguns at five steps. The second part by Wickliffe was horror-stricken at this and exclaimed: "Why, that would be murder!" "Yes, and I will be murder for Charley Wickliffe to shoot at me at twenty steps with a pistol, for I am so near-sighted that I cannot see a man over five steps away." Then parrying it was finally decided that the men should fight with rifles at twenty yards. The spring races were then going on in Lexington, and on the morning young Wickliffe started to go to the place of rendezvous, a friend of mine, and he was going at that time of the morning, remarking that it was too early to be going to the races. Wickliffe laughingly replied: "I am just going out here in the country to kill a near-sighted scoundrel. I will be back in time for the races." He drove on, and within less than an hour he was a corpse. The two men were attended by their seconds and two surmiseres, and the distance apart and a loaded rifle was given to each. At the word both fired, but Denton's gun cracked an instant before Wickliffe's, and the bullet struck instantly. Denton escaped unhurt. He was tended at the examining trial, but being of a deeply sympathetic nature the ordeal through which he had passed caused him to be so shocked that he taken to the Eastern Kentucky lunatic asylum a few months later. During the Civil war there were many killings, as Kentucky was about every Confederate and Union sympathizers. From 1857 until 1872 there were many other political killings in Kentucky. They were mostly done by the young men who were not old enough to go into the war, but who had imbibed the spirit of law and order. They were maintained during the latter years of the struggle. These young men banded themselves together in Ku-KuXlans, as they were called, and visited their wrath on political opponents. These Klans belonged to both parties, and the Republican Klans were as vindictive and as violent to the Democratic. They hanged and shot many victims and shipped many more. Prior to the Civil war Cassius M. Clay had several political fight besides his duel with young Wickliffe. He was preaching new political doctrine. He was also preaching new moral slaves. This was very distasteful to the average Kentuckian, as about every man in the state who was able to do so owned negroes. Thus it was that when Clay was able to do so, he little place called Fogown, in Midwestern county, a number of bullies in the neighborhood attempted to interrupt him. He paid little attention to them at first, but finally got angry and told them what he was doing. He then took a dozen of the fellows attacked Clay. He was powerful physically as well as mentally, and he fought the entire crowd. He used his fists, as he had no weapon. He used his hands, as a large bowel knife and Clay said that unarmed him he would be killed. He grabbed the blade of the knife in his left hand and with his right tried to pry open the clinched fist of the holder of the knife. Clay ran in and cut him in the right side with a bowel knife. But now Clay was armed, and he went at Turner, who was soon lying on the ground with a mortal wound. Clay was also badly cut, and Turner was able to go out. Turner died the next day. In the year following Clay was speaking at Russell's Cave, in Fayette county. He was making a plea for the abolition of slavery by constitutional means. The opposition to Clay had sent down South Sam Brown, who was known all over the lower Mississippi region as one of the best pistol shots in the county. He was present, together with a party of fighting men the slavery party had hired to attack Clay, and he shot his speech and was gravely bloody over the curse of slavery one of Brown's comrades interrupted him, and Clay made some rough rebeler, and the fight began. Brown drew a pistol and shot him, and his knife became shaking Brown. In the end the bullet struck the scabband of Clay's bowle knife and glanced off. But the shock was so great that Clay thought he was shot, and he took his knife and began shaking Brown. In the end the bullet "I thought I had received my death wound from Brown. I felt the bullet from his pistol strike me a tremendous blow in the breast, and I believed I had taken his knife and knew what he had another knife and I drew my knife, determined to sell what little life I had as dearly as possible. I was held back by his friends and could not get close enough to him to stab him as I wanted to do, so I had to hack his face the first -troke and laid open his nose. The next I cut one eye out, and then I cut at him as fast as I could wield the heavy knife. When I had made his friends grabbed him and threw him over the fence and my few friends carried me to the house and my few friends carried me of my supposed wound was made. I had taken Brown's pistol had struck the brass tip by the scabband of my bowle knife, which I carried in my vest pocket. My THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1900.

A mob of Know Nothings went to a part of the city people chiefly by Irish immigrants, and burned the houses of many. The day has been referred to ever since in the history of Louisville as Blood Monday, and it killed Know Nothings in Ken- A desperate political right: occurred in Lexington in the fall of 1888 in front of the Phoenix hotel. Thomas M. Green, a leader and one of the most bitter writers Kennyuck ever produced, was an editorial correspondent of the old Cincinnati Commercy Association that summer in which the Democrat were charged with having practiced gross frauds, especially in Jessamine. It was charged that Lew Baldwin, a prominent member of these frauds, Green wrote a series of articles which bristled with abuse of Baldwin. He also pried into his record and charged him with crookedness in the cases he censured Baldwin and he told his friends that he intended to kill Green on sight. They met on the day the monument to the man he accused at Lexington. The men were strangers to each other. One of Green's Friends told him that Baldwin was in town and would have been his pawnbroker's shop and bought a plato, which he put in his overcoat pocket. In less than half an hour afterward he started to go from the Phoenix hotel to Lexington, where he was unbevelled. He had gone but a new steps from the entrance when he met Baldwin. Green had been pointed out to the latter accustomed him with the question: "is this Thomas M. Green?" "is this sir, it is. Who are you?" "came the EPX" Green was deaf and he put his hand to his ear to catch the answer. which was: INDIANA OMIO MISSISSippi TENNESSEE ALAMO "I am Lew Baldwin, and I think you are a d—d scoundrel." Baldwin then struck Green with his fist and at the same time drew his pistol, which was hammerless. He failed to press the releasing spring and before he pressed the releasing pistol working Green had his pistol out, but without rapidity and accuracy. His second shot went through Baldwin's heart. Baldwin had got in one shot at Green, but the latter recovered from the wound. Another desperate hand-to-hand challenge came from Cassius Goodie and Col. Armstead M. Sweep. This was in the fall of 1889. The government had just completed a new postoffice building at Lexington. The upper rooms are used by the collector of internal revenue for the Seventh district. Col. Goodie was about to notice about a clock he came down stairs and went to his box in the postoffice to get his mail. Col. Sweep was standing near the box and talking through his own box to one of the employees inside. Addressing Col. Sweep, Col. Goodie said: "You are obstructing the way." I "told" Col. Sweep, "Indifference if I do" replied Col. Sweep. Instantly the men were fighting. Goodloe with a large knife and Swope with a pistol. Swope shot Goodloe in the abdomen and immediately thereafter Goodloe with a gun to drop the weapon. Then Goodloe went at him and inflicted thirteen wounds, six of which were mortal. Swope died before any person came to him. As Col. Goodloe offered the building to the near-by doctor, he waved his bloody knife over his head and exclaimed in exultant tones: "Giveollowed like a cat." Goodloe died two days later. The next political killing of note was the shooting of Col. John D. Sandford in Covington by Senator William Goebel, the details of which may be fresh in the memory of the assassination of Senator Goebel in the capital grounds at Frankfort.

Prices of Necessities In Siege and War War revolutionizes prices by emphasizing the laws of supply and demand. Dirty water at the Moderer River sells for $1.25 a bottle, and a drink for a horse has been quoted at $10. In Cape Town beds which in New York could be had for a quarter in running at $5 or at halfway in the last South African war, a cauliflower sold for $15.00, and eggs were $15 a dozen. Further North in African quinine has sold for $500 an ounce. Horses in Natal have been "swapped" for cigarettes. In Paris, when the Germans were besieging it, a chicken was put down in the city, and the market marketed as worth $8 a rabbit, $10 a "good" onion, 20 cents. A turkey was quoted at $85 and a goose at $28, while the market price of a cat was $7.60, and dog sold for 70 cents a pound. The elephants in the Zoological garden were killed, and ge elephant meat, while it lasted, readily brought $8 a pound. What the price of, foodstuffs was in Kimberley and is in Mafeking has not been given out, but as the people in Kimberley were said to be subsisting largely on horse flesh, the prices must have reached those of the Paris siege. The latest quotations from Ladysmith are: 14.55 pounds, 17.50 cents; fowl, 5.45 pounds; $22.60 a pound. Boers are smuggling tobacco in through the natives. Singularly enough, cats in a besieged city seem to have nearly a fixed price. As cats were worth $3.00 during the siege of Paris, so in Cartagena, in Colombia, when that city was besieged in 1855, they were not only unusual but an unusual kind of fix not only by water but by freight. On this world's surface 'position is everything', says the New York Press. As weight can bring together a donkey and a Derby winner, so freight can put on a level, bulk for bulk, gold, black pigment, diamonds and amalgamated gems. The king of the king was upder a pound than sugar, and up the Amazon a Waterbury watch can be bartered for many dollars' worth of rubber. In Greenland valuable furs can be bought for pieces of window glass, and in Parthi tooth brushes are so rare among his collection of jewels and priceless curses. Hertz Waxe Telegraphy The national weather bureau is said to be conducting a series of experiments in wireless telegraphy that promise to yield highly interesting results. Such work does not appear to be directly related to the work of the group, but enjoys exceptional advantages for an inquiry of this sort, and if a technical excuse be needed it may be found in the possible economy that may be effected, in consequence of this venture, in the transmission of information. Those who are familiar with the Marconi system remember that, although the THY!" —St. Paul Daily News. apparatus is used at the surface of the earth, it is customary to attach it to a vertical wire, and that the distance to the surface of the earth is some extent upon the length of this wire. At the South Foreland, for instance, communication can be had with the East Goodwin lightship, seven miles away, at the South Foreland, for instance, is employed. But to span the channel, thirty-two miles wide, the operator at the South Foreland connects his instruments with another vertical wire 150 feet long. Now, the United States weather bureau has in more or less active service at a large number of stations kites that are thermometers and other instruments to register atmospheric conditions at a considerable altitude. These kites sometimes ascend to a height of a mile or so, and when they are not in use, Hence it is natural that speculation should be inducted in concerning the effect of connecting such a wire with a Mar-a- To be sure, a kite string does not reach straight, upward. It is greatly inclined instead; and it remains to be ascertained that it is not capable of stressing in Hertz wave telegraphy. Again, successful kite flying can be prosecuted only when there is enough wind, and yet not too much. Some lack of regularity may be the result of the inability for the purpose in view. Perhaps other limitations may be discovered when the present experiments are carried further. At any rate, the experiments can be carried out with knowledge about wireless telegraphy. The opportunity afforded by the bureau's equipment is certainly unique. One of the most important questions to be determined in regard to the system with which the kite is linked relates to the distance at which it will operate. Barely a year ago the English channel was spanned, and a marked difference thus made upon previous experiments. The sages were transmitted forty, fifty and fifty miles at sea. In a solitary instance, it is said, eighty miles were covered. Of that distance, it is assumed that it is hardly supposable that the limit has been reached. If not, where is that limit, and by what means will it finally be attained? It is not unlikely that the investigation will throw light on the subject. --- COMEDY AT MONTE CARLO FURNISHED BY THE AMERICANS WHO GAMBLE FOR FUN. Their Invasion Disturbs the Serious System Players. The Timid American who Tries Her Luck With Five Pieces, Piece and the Loud-Talking Alderman. In this place, where comedy and tragedy dwell together in brotherly love, of the most amusing things in the comedy line is to see a gambling table invaded by Americans. The humor of it depends a good deal on the point of view, to be sure. The ryst of the cosmopolitan company is to see a comedy family. A composite photograph of their faces would pass for a picture of long-suffering Patience, not willing to suffer much longer. But a disinterested American, a little in the background, will see a person don't see tableaux which will make him chuckle. As everybody has been told several thousand times, the Casino at Monte Carlo is one of the most orderly places in the world. This is one of the few tales which is absolutely true. A Sunset beamed beamed with the gambling rooms of Monte Carlo. Sorosis itself, drowsily listening (?) to a paper on philanthropy, is scarcely more quiet than these 500 or 600 men and women silently watching the turn of the diabolical whims of a little ball sporting around a red and black wheel. To these orderly halls of learning—there's nothing the matter with that title—come two kinds of visitors: Americans and others. The others, no matter what the condition in life, whether they are rich or poor, they are rich or dem-mondale, prince or butcher—all drop right onto the prescribed Casmander. They do it successfully, in fact, that the princess and the dem-mondale are to be distinguished chiefly by com-parison; it is as hard to tell the prince from the princess as to guess the next turn of the cards. But you can count the Americans. The others are gambling for money, money, money! The American is generally—at Monte Cardo—gambling for fun. He has gambled before, of course. But the enlivening game of poker, played with friends, is not the same thing as trendy bets of a charitable game. The assorted foreigners, sitting around the table, are almost every one of them regulars. They've been there for days, weeks, perhaps years. They have a smile and a word for one another, occasionally. They know one another's gains and losses because they see them, not because they hobno$ to with their fellow gamblers. People do not talk at the tables. The only audible remarks are exchanged briefly with the croupers about placing money. Even then it is all in an undertone, or, half the time, the request is indicated by a motion of the head without a word being spoken. The nervous intensity with which the players watch their varying fortunes is a painful sight. The quiet is almost abolished, the concentration, not of easy indifference. Most of the regular players have some nervous affection, twitching of the eyes, of the mouth, of the whole head. And they are often in a state of consult little books in which they have worked out elaborate calculations and according to which they regulate their movements, very mathematical, very formal. But the Americans upset the whole thing. Last night, for instance, one of the trente et quarante tables—the heavy betraying is at these tables—was going calmly into the room, trying to try to go into the run of the cards and were strictly occupied with the tasks of deciding what to do next. Somebody had been sitting in the table and an American vacant seat. He has been dropping into the Casino every day for a week or more and always patronizes these tables, where he often wins. He is rich, a man of the world on his own continent, with a face much more worn than, his clothes even more unpolished an unpolished smile and the air of a genius. He won several times and the others began to follow his betting. Immediately they all lost, the bank raked in a heap of gold, and the American's neighbor, with a disguised shrug left the table. An American woman sat down next to her companion, her husband stood behind her. At the next play the Americans had the black side to themselves and won. The same thing the next time, and the next. The others concluded that, a run had started and they joined the American, who won. The Americans, friends of those already there, and joined the crowd around the table. One of them was an alderman personage whose gold-watch chain, stretched tight across his expansive waistcoat, looked like a yellow equator on his shoulder. The code which issued from that waistcoat was like a forghn with the influenza. "How you getin' on?" and the fat man, "How players jumped, and their twinklings fell?" "Oh, first rate." responded the other with a genial laugh. "How many times you won?" "Oh, I don't know. Seven or eight. I guess, and last once." "Battles on black?" "Uh-huh." "Well, put this on the rouge, won't you?" handing him a 500-franc bill. "Put on what?" "On the rouge." "All right." The rest of the players were not sturdy dumb by this lively conversation, because they had been practically dumb before. But operations hung fire while everybody croppers included, stared and listened. Finally the dealer, suddenly remembering the monotonous "Messieurs faites vos joue." So long as the first American had been the only Yankee in the game and had not been having Yankees play, although with a disturbed demeanor. But the appearance of the big fat man disconcerted them. If he had followed his countryman's lead all might have been well, in spite of the almost unheard noise. But the distraction of their remarks. But $2.40 PER YEAR. this new form of Greek meeting Greek was too much for the regulars. Probably it wasn't a new form either. They must have had the same experience before and have learned that discretion is better than or, at any rate they sighed weasily, shrugged their shoulders, sat back in their chairs without their risking a leo on the issue. The fat man lost the first chance to fuse every time he plays and who always tucks an immense handkerchief into his collar as soon as he stakes his money. The rolling beads of perspiration his sole sign of agitation, out of which he is so scarcely can scarcely pay the bets they are so deeply interested in watching the dew of honest toll gather on his chin. At losing once the fat man won a few thou- "I'm going to leave it there till it will three times," he announced to all his friends within earshot. Then he lost. It doesn't make much difference how the thing came out; except to the Americas, where it goes with glee the tournament between the two land of the free and the home of the brave bluffer at poker does not insist on a man making a deaf mute of himself when he gambles. So the Americans had a beautiful time. They talked and they laughed, and occasionally they undertook for them, but was three keys above the ordinary tones of the Casino. And the regular players grew more and more irritated, shrugged and twitched at a frightful rate, and breathed low male breath and drove out the first American, who wout outad away, and finally the fat man himself pocketed his wad of bills and went off, probably to hunt up his irate friend and spend some of his gains in the work of the company. He drifted away, too, and with a great sigh of relief the regulars sat up and tried to piece together the shattered systems of play, the dealer's voice resumed the familiar phrases and all was quiet again. They were in a room with thousands of frances, but two American women with $8 apiece had made just as much of a disturbance at a roulette table during the table, with a cropper-poor man-bet-cheat happened, they leaned in front of the cropper and told each other all about it. If they won they told each other all the mental processes which had led them to stake their big, round dollar where they were going to play, that it was too bad because they would have won if they had yielded to a secret impulse. And so on. When they had lost their: $16, they sat there and waited, and then they would bet if they had any money left. But all Americans are not of these types. Most of the green ones know that they are green and try to slip their money into the wrong hands. They are attention even of the croucher. The old hands here, who are having hard luck, do not scruple to pick up somebody else's money occasionally on the chance that someone else too green to know that it has been American newcomer is often the victim because, even if he knows he has been robbed, he will let it go rather than make himself conspicuous or get into an accident. He is not disadvantage, because of his ignorance of the language. "Keep your eye on the butt." is a better rule for golf than "keep your eye your money" is good advice. Of course every American girl that passes this way has to try her luck, her favorite method is to borrow five frances or a louris from a male relative or friend. Everybody knows that luck comes to borrowed money. If she is traveling to a foreign country, inward agitation to risk five frances or her own. Then you see her going around for an hour or two, wandering from table to table in search of just the right place, carrying the big silver piece in her feverish hand. When she finally puts it down it is so hot it almost scroches the cloth—which does not, however, pre-vent her from whisking it into his pile with a suddenness which makes the girl gasp. "Here are, then, the kinds of Americans at Monte Carlo. There is the man to whom it is an old story who gambles and moves his money, the man to whom it is an old story who gambles and moves his money. There are the rich novices who make as much disturbance in the Las Vegas as a bull would in a china shop. There are the garrulous women, who are the most attractive girls who are amusing since their attraction is a matter of only a dollar or two. And there are the men and women who risk a few lousy quietly, for the sake of their own amusement, together they form a very small proportion of the crowd; but they attract more attention in proportion to their number than any other nationality to be found in the world.

No class of the great population of the United States has a keener interest in the census than the nine million Afro-Americans. By the warm friends of the race it is believed that; if only a correct census were had, favorable conditions and steady, hopeful progress would be shown, by which their arguments would be proved and those of their traduces answered. Only once in ten years this opportunity comes to place themselves upon record, an opportunity too great to be lost by ignorance or indifference or unwarranted fear. Every Afro-American leader who has the true interest of his race at heart will enter upon earnest and persistent efforts to teach them the scope and purpose of the coming census. He will explain that to be counted by the Federal Government is a right which cannot be taken away by any local or state government. All the facts reported are guarded by officials sworn to reveal no detail, but simply to tabulate general results, the confl --- dence of the individual being held sacred and inviolate. His replies to the enumerator cannot be made the basis of taxation or in any way be used to his harm. The questions asked of Afro-American and white citizens are exactly the same. The main features are inquiries about name, age, relationship occupation, birthplace, ability to read and whether the home is owned or rented. Questions concerning the occupation are of special importance. Persons engaged in agriculture should be prepared to report for the year 1899. Then when the enumerator comes asking the quantity, variety, and value of the crops of that year, they will be ready. The thrifty housewife should reckon the proceeds of her dairy and poultry yard. The same duty rests upon those engaged in any sort of manufacture. Without fear they may impart all the details of their business to that sworn official of the General Government, who comes to them for information. "Nothing succeeds like success." Every success of the Afro-American proved by Federal census facts will give him a great impetus in his forward march. In the census he is a witness in his own behalf before a court which will render a verdict without fear or favor upon his own unquestioned testimony. If he lose this opportunity the loss will rest at his own door. The census office will treat him as it does every other American citizen. Near the church of Rev. Mr. Sheldon of "In His Steps" fame, and who, this week, conducted the Topeka Capital as he thought Christ would, is a settlement of 5,000 Afro-Americans called Tennessee Town. He naturally took an interest in the strange community, which was founded by former Governor St. John. Before turning a hand for his Afro-American charges he spent a month among these people, learning their trials, woes, blessings. Then he set to work. There was an old Afro-American woman who had the misfortune to lose a leg in an accident. One day Mr. Sheldon was seen carrying an unwieldy package into the old woman's house and soon afterward she was seen walking about as spry as a 16-year-old. Mr. Sheldon had bought and given her an artificial leg. Rev. Sheldon may not have a proper conception of how Jesus Christ would conduct a newspaper, but the act mentioned above shows that he can act very Christ-like. Every one knows the prevailing fear women have for a mouse, and, while the little harmless creatures have thrown many women into hysterics, one was destined to work a miracle last week in Pittsburg. Mrs. Annie Mathers, a widow, has been speechless for several years. Her condition was caused by illness, and she could not speak above a whisper. Last Saturday she opened a closet in her house and came suddenly to a mouse. Mrs. Mather tried to scream, forgetting she had lost her voice. She was amazed to find that the impediment which prevented her from speaking had been removed, evidently by fright, and that her voice was the same as before her illness. "Woman's influence in politics" has often been hooted at, but there is one man who will hereafter take it into serious consideration. Some time ago Miss Minnie Brown was expelled from the normal school of Cleveland, O. expelled through the influence of School Director Sargent. When he came up for re-nomination last week he found Miss Brown arrayed against him and through her influence he was defeated. The woman vote beat all records. 5,711 having voted. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." The press dispatches say that a number of Afro-American farm hands living near Athens, Ga., attempted to emigrate to the Mississippi valley. The white farm bosses were on hand and had numbers arrested charged with breaking their contracts for labor. And this is the way they keep many Southern Afro-Americans in a state of practical slavery! Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, the elder and last surviving brother of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, died Wednesday, at Elmira, N. Y., aged eighty-one. On the same day Mrs. Mary Foote Beecher Perkins, a sister of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, died in Hartford, Conn., aged ninety-four years. The world loses two of its best people by these deaths. It is reported that the Republican National committee has secured con- THE APREAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE SCHOOL PRETORIA JAIL, WHERE COLONIAL AND CIVILIAN PRISONERS ARE KEPT.

The Democratic national committee has decided not to change date and place of meeting of the national convention. It will be held July 4 at Kansas City. 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 Tesuque. 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 ichthyosaurus and part turtle, with part of the characteristics of a whale. The jaw consisted of about 20 teeth. The 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 Institution in Washington. Two layers of the jaw were brought to the city, which Schumann and shown to friends, which he puzzled by their unusual shape. It is known that the surroundings of Santa Fé with submarine fossil remains, which seem to prove that in long-gone-bays the site of the city was covered by a sea.

An optimist is a man who has succeeded in associating with humanity for some time without becoming a cynic. Who is the wondrous angel of life that rolls away all the stones of sorrow and suffering from the pathway of duty. Regret is but the light of fuller wisdom from our past, illumining our future. The life without regret is the life without gain. Worry is forethought gone to seed. Worry is discounting possible future sorrows so that the individual may secure present misery. Affection is the confession of inferiority. It is an unnecessary proclamation that the individual is not living the life he pretends to live. Duty looks at life as a debt to be paid; love sees life as a debt to be collected. Duty is constantly paying attention; love is constantly counting its premiums—William George Jordan. WISE OR OTHERWISE. A young man's best girl is never too good to be true. A loafer never allows himself to get out of practice. The man who pays as he goes sometimes goes broke. Most things come to those who hustle while they wait. Contentment is the feeling that things might be worse. Two heads may be better than one, but not in the same family. The funniest thing about some folks is their efforts to be funny. You may depend upon it that there are as good hearts to serve men in palaces as in cottages—Robert Owen.

We are women of the African-American race, with women of the African-American cause, gathered in a public meeting day of December, 1889, solemnly appeal day of December, 1898, solemnly appeal people of the United States of all religion and race, and nation at all tions of all sections, and all political We ask serious attention to the perse- sence of being inflicted by lawless mobs upon Afro-American men and women who are committed out of dislike and are often committed out of dislike and suspicion only that they violate the guilty of some crime or offense against The most horrible outcome of the med- ical men. This crime began in Arkansas and since then men have been burned, killed, and killed. Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi last seven months there have been three of these human torturings to death by Lynchings have become common. After American men being the victims, in 2 of the Southern states, and they have died, they were not a means of control in Illinois, Illinois, Ohio, and York, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Michigan and Nebraska. There is, according to carefully collected statistics covering the six seventeen years, or average of 150 of these loyally-made and other murders, each year, most of them occurring in each South Minor persecutions, such as driving, and a�-a-whippers, stonings and tarring and feathers are so common as to be merely noticed in the reports of the press of the country. We explore all persons in power and authority to reflect upon what these lawless men have done. In the case of the law, the duties the state of society, the states upon the state and national government. And we ask all people who low-justice and order, and who desire the good of their fellow men, to endeavor, by word and not, to create a public opinion as will no allow. In any part of it, such atrocities of violence and murder as now, by occurring within its borders, disgrace the entire nation. It is ordered by this assembly that the daily and weekly newspapers the Associated Press, the religious journals and news and monthly magazines be asked to print this, the behalf of a NO OSTRICH RACE (Continued From First Page.) exclaim: "Whon, now, birdie!" in his name, a secret tomes; but we don't believe that "birdie" is even for a minute. And although Mr. Brown has shown great skill in riding a hobby for several years past, we don't think he would be able to ride an ostrich, even if, and a piece of good luck, he did succeed in the same way as he had since. But the chief reason for being disbelieving the story remains to be stated. To ride of the back of an ostrich would be, in effect, the power it. Such government of the ostrich would be, in effect, to be without its consent. And it is impossible to suppose that Mr. Bryan would ever accept the principle of government with the same consent. According to the press dispatches, Mr. Bryan has recently been violating this principle in going, wanting in Texas, for presumably the� the tainted mals didn't consent to be shot. But, unfortunately, we can't believe everything we read nowadays, and, besides, we think the kicking possibilities of the ostrich would be very much healthier. It is non-consignent, even if he had him of its non-consignence it. So he ostrich story has to give up. But not the interest in Mr. Bryan as a sportsman. In a few days he was to begin an active pursuit of the money, and he's known as the octopus.

The Eckstein Norton University is situated at Cane Spring, Ky., twenty-nine miles from Louisville, Ky., in one of the most healthy and quiet settlements in the state—the county being what is known as a prohibition county for many years. The building and grounds are on a lofty hill of rich, rolling land, surrounded on all sides by mountain streams, disbiting miniature carassels, high mountains, peopled with timber of many varied species.

On one occasion there was an argument going on and the attorneys were using a map to illustrate the case. One attorney, in the course of his presentation of the case, pointed to the map in question and was proceeding to dilate upon the same, when Justice Gray asked him what the map was. "Why, your honor, it is just a bird's eye view of the land in controversy," answered the counselor. "Well," said Justice Gray, "I wish you would bring the map a little nearer; I haven't got a bird's eye." Assassination makes only martyrs, not converts—Lamartine.

Moseley spoke at a meeting of the Republican City Central Committee of Peoria, Thursday, on "Abraham Lincoln." As yet no one has resigned from the South Park board.

Monday, March 18, is the day upon which notices of nominations and petitions for places on the tickets must be presented to the commissioners. All town tickets are filed with the town offices, while municipal notices are filed with the city clerk. The Summer Club, Chicago's leading Afro-American political organization, decided, by a unanimous vote, to give a big meeting in the interest of the town. This action was taken owing to the fact that the Mayor F. Adams, the Afro-American candidate for South Town clerk, is a member of the Summer Club. Election clerks began a busy day of canvassing their precincts Wednesday. The two clerks of each precinct are required to visit each dwellings from which a voter is registered in their precinct and verify the name and address of a voter. Of the clerks entertain a suspicion, relate the qualifications of the intended voter to the privilege either of serving a suspect notice on the person or leaving it at the dwellings. . . . The Republican committee of Cook County adopted a program of "no secrecy" to the primaries in May. The first move the primaries in May was to decide that the ward committees have their reports in the hands of Secretary Simon on or before March 26.

Doctors announce definitely that the malady from which the Governor is recovering is gastritis. Owing to the precautions enforced for the first time now under the new law, it is believed by the election officials that repetition of wholesale scandals former days in connection with the current incident is avoided. The precautions are as follows: Each clerk is required to make an affidavit, in duplicate, stating the names of all persons against whom suspect notices have been served and the service. The duplicate, affidavit must be read with the election board Friday evening before 6 o'clock. The Republicans of the First Ward are inclined to let the Aldermanic elections go by default. They complain that there is no chance for a Republican to win the Coughlin, and that, because of that fact, they cannot induce any good man to make the run. Furthermore, it is claimed that it would assure the Republican to not nominate a Aldermanic ticket in the First Ward. It is said that Benjamin Barnett, James McNally and John Coughlin will do nothing for a generic town ticket if the Republicans man no fight on the Aldermanic ticket. Judges of election swarmed into the election board's offices in the third floor of the City Hall up to noon, Wednesday, returning the registry books in separate packages. The Democratic judge of each precept returned the same book, separate, sealed envelope and the Register, the same. The books will be kept secure from the ken of the ward boss until Saturday afternoon, when the judges will take them to the polling places again for Saturday evening's work of revision. After revision each register must be returned, sealed as before, to the office, there to remain unmolested until April 2, the day before election.
