The Appeal

Observations of an American Mining Engineer, Who Made One of the Most Remarkable Trips on Record—Saw Ancient Cities and Fought Persian Bandits New York, Special, April 25.-William M. Fitzhugh, an American mining engineer, for many years a resident of California, has just completed the most remarkable expedition to the southwest, been the privilege of an American to make. More than two years ago he went to Siberia on a mission for a London graduate, which desired to have a number of expeditions. He undertook a general report on the mineralization of the country. During the trip Fitzhugh seized the opportunity offered to travel extensively through Siberia. He ascended the Arctic circle, and then swung to the southwest went down into Mongolia. At the conclusion of his tour to Siberia he was commissioned by the Russian government to visit Southern and Southeastern Russia, and to examine the mineralization schemes and examine a number of mphthra properties. While carrying out that work he made an extended tour through the Caucasus and transacantha province. He was given a military escort, and wherever possible the strong hand of the White Czar reached out to protect him from the savage people over whom his sovereignty rested. He was impressed by the ancient cities of Central Asia from Bukun to Andiljan, and returns greatly impressed with the promise that the future holds for the already vast and powerful empire that is ruled from St. Petersburg, and that is to be furnished to the deepest and desirous fath professional reasons to and展望 of his professional reasons and examinations, Fitzhugh disposed to refrain from a discussion of his trip, but decided to furnish the Pioneer Press with the calicoing sketchy narrative of his triumph. "I was first engaged by an English syllabic to make an examination of a number of Siberian place properties, and later in behalf of the Russian government vis-à-vis the Russian people, and Central Asia as far as Tibet to make a general examination of the country, especially with regard to the gold and naphtha deposits which exist there, and to report on the possibility of extensive irrigation long been in contemplation. As you know, Russia has had a long and grim struggle with famine, and for years past a vast amount of money has been directed to the remedial plans. The Trans-Siberian railway was projected and built to draw the excess of population from the overcrowded centers, and give the products of their energies in that virgin soil a market, and the areas in Central Asia productive by leading water on to them. The latter work has an especial interest for the student, for they are taking up the work of these energies, that they have actually cost the Russian government 600,000 roubles. I took occasion on my various trips in a connection with the two missions which I undertook in Russia to see as much of the country as possible, the country east and west for the country east and west for the Arctic, and then went into Mongolia. Later, when in Central Asia, I visited the ruins of the ancient city of Kungur, the fortress boasted that it was the center of the world's civilization. I also saw a considerable part of Tibet. Provided by the strong hand of the Russian government, some doors that are usually to go among people who have turned their back upon the rest of the world. With my escort I several times crossed into where the law fades out and might be violated without trouble. We were in danger at times, but only once in over two years of travelling and that down near the Persian frontier, that it came to bloodshed. I routed a band of Persian bandits or robbers, who had been looting the country, and killed a dozen of them. excellent quality of wheat, and is desir- ed, in my opinion, to be a great wheat country. Generally speaking, the country is Commemorating at Ekadem inburg in the United States to mark centers Siberia, which has from 35,000 to 50,000 people. This city is beautifully stu- lated, is of modern build, and has splen- tely developed. After a year two days' travel by railway, you can visit Omsk, with 25,000 population, and after another day and a half of travel you are at Tomsk, the capital of Western Europe, and day and a half and you are handed in Krynetsk, the capital of the more bring you to Irkutsk, which is on Lake Bikal, and boasts of 45,000 population. The intermediate country between Tomsk and Krynetsk is densely unsettled and uncultivated, and the nationally prison settlements, military posts and fur trading stations. The climate of the country is not bad. In fact, it is inclusive, while the cold country in Nov- ember to March is inactive. When I out- fitted at St. Petersburg I was advised to take along plenty of furs, and did so. I went to a station. I can best wear pongee silk suits, and the meals were being raised. I was also advised to take along a good supply of provisions, yet I found good eating houses in the station. I can best be described by traveling to a station. I settled principally by young Russians. You do not see the Eskimo from the Tower of the Tartar from the South, and the rugged and hapter than any other people in European or Aslatic Russia. Russia wants to colonize this vast virgin region to induce people to go out there from centers. The railways built and projected will give them a market for the things they raise, and in time Russia will be no fames when it becomes possible to move foodstuffs at a reasonable cost. "The houses in every village upon the main street facing the road have little windows with shelves, about six feet high, and on this shelf they place whatsoever food they want. This is a custom handed down from a former period to aid escaped prisoners, the shelves being placed at that height to prevent dogs from getting at the food. "Siberia is mineralized from the Urals east, and it is clear that the belt is the same one that extends through Alaska. You can trace it from the Urals through the Vladovachniks, on to Karsakraka, which is only a short distance from the new district of Cape Nome. All of the gold in Siberia so far has been in places, but there are ledges, and that they will be uncovered. The sharp changes in the seas, with the snow coming to hold the rank growth of spring and summer, will produce a very heavy turf and the coldest so to speak. There has been no prospecting for the ledges, but when there I am, as I say, quite sure that they will am, so I do not take the impression that Siberia is explored land from what I say. The fact is that it is all quite well known, and the Russians themselves are quite familiar. It has only been closed to the foregreat the past and is unsettled and undeveloped. "The parts that have been settled are quite, highly civilized. I learned that, once, rather to my embarrassment, a race to my embarrassment. I learned ten days from Kraarmark to journeyed ten days to the South Yensel. I was to look the particular property in question over and over, the guest of those in charge of the project, that might be, a calling a hunted suit, and that added to its appearance Imagine my feelings when at the dinner hour the table in correctly cut evening in Parisian gowns. That is pretty good for a town that lies within the Arctic choke. There are thousands of men minute. There are thousands of Yensel, and the two camps have produced $4,000,000 a year for twenty-five years. I was very favorably impressed by the section. "After my observations in Northern Siberia I traveled down into the Altai district in Southern Siberia, on the boundary of Mongolia. As you enter that area, a gradual becomes more mountainous. I was able to leave Slav race behind and come to Alaska. I was accompanied by a large Defective Page THE APPEAL. armed party, although during our entire stay in the country we could no use for our weapon as far as defense was conceived, we were generally friendly and welcoming to them, and that they had to offer. These highlands are drained by swift moving streams and the scenery is wildly picturesque. It is the island of Asia. It is there that many of the people north into Siberia and south into Mongolia have their source. The country is very sparsely settled and the people are mostly nomadic. They have herds and flocks drive from place to place. One could not have been more familiar with resemblance to our North American Indians. That country has been swept in the distant past by great movements easterly and westerly, and raided by people from all over the world. To me its most interesting feature was presented by thousands of burial stones that we came upon; stones resemble those left by Dr. Dudley and his minions thin of hard, red sandstone, six to eight inches thick and four or five feet broad by ten to twenty feet long. Some project ten or more feet above the surface, and ways around a rectangular square, with sides due north and south and east and west. At a distance they look like sharks this rising above the level plain. The people are isolated from both China and Russia, and are ruled, if at all, by chiefs or kans, who have set up governments, collected revenue and administered law. "We were mounted and went about one thousand miles south into the Mongolian country. You may say that we sneaked into the country and avoided the people in large numbers as far as possible. The country is mineralized and the country is good property opened up down there. It has properties that impressed me very favorably. That is probably the oldest known portion of the world, and it will seem odd to see it invaded by modern methods after lying neglected and untraveled for centuries. On my return to the country, I was asked the government to make a trip to the Caucasus country with the object of reporting on an extensive irrigation scheme THIS WHI 1 3 A QUESTION THIS WHICH WILL IT BE? 1 2 3 3 2 1 OR THIS A QUESTION OF SOUTH AFRICAN EVOLUTION. and to examine some naphtha properties. My mission led me into a country that was really dangerous, and I was given a Cossack guard to protect me during my journey. I was told that the government could extend and was thus especially favored in doing the work which I had undertaken. We outfitted at St. Petersburg and went down to the river to be railed. We then worked south along the Arax and Kura rivers, which it is proposed to tap and divert in connection with the irrigation plan. I found that the water was so precious, and there was added interest in the fact that it was once almost the cradle of the human family. The danger, too, gave the trip the spices of adventure. The country lies close to the Turkish and frontier and is constantly being raided. "Down close to the Caspian we came upon a party of thirty Perian brigands who had been in the country on a raiding expedition. They had robbed, looted, and murdered wherever they could find them. They had heard of them at several points and our Cossacks had been appealed to to hunt them down. They finally made a demonstration against our party and in defense of our troops had to go after them. The Cossacks managed to drive them out of the town and when the skirmish was over there were thirteen死 Persians in the gulch. The people came out from one of the little towns on the Caspian and carried three of the bodies in as a warning to other evil doors. The bodies were taken to the criminal public street as a lesson to the public. "I spent some time in an examination of the Arax and Kura rivers and found the remains of scores of old irrigation canals. I visited two thousand years before Christ. The plans of the government for the irrigation of that country are entirely feasible and my report to the government was a success. I visited Krasnovodsk and through the trans-Casian country to Askabai, Merv, Bokara, Samarkand, Tashenk, Kokand, Margu, Kashgar, and Kashgar which is Western Tibet. The railway running towards that country is approx- mately two thousand miles long and runs in a general direction from east to west. For the first one thousand miles of the trans-Caspian country there is nothing but desert land, although at one time that land was the most important in its present desert condition is due to the turning of the course of the Amo Doria river which is the river Oxus mentioned in the Bible. That great stream almost as large as the Mississippi originally flowed into the Caspian sea, but in the past it was diverted for the inflow of irrigation ditches at Kiva it was diverted into the Arafat sea. Its course was thus changed for between 700 and 800 miles. The river carries a very great quantity of sediment which is a rich source of nutrients for the bed of the river has drifted for hundreds of miles over a great area and is now encroaching upon the Kamarkand and Bokara country. The problem of reclamation is the most difficult one of the question that best deals with it by the Russian government." Askabad is a modern Russian town built on the spot where the last great battle between Russians and Turkumans took place. It is the military headquarters of the country at the present time. An eastward and a westward and it claimed my interest and attention more than any other point on my journey. The final chapter in the history of Merv as an inhabited city is the story of one of the world's greatest killed in a battle between Mervans and Persians and the king took a more terrible revenge on the city. He besieged it for years and when he finally forced a surrender by cutting off the city's walls, children within its four walls to death. The estimates of Merv's population at that time vary, but it is generally believed that it amounted to between 400,000 and 500,000 persons. The ancient city stands and still remains entirely uninhabited. It was originally from five to six miles long and about, two miles wide and was completely walled. In addition to the walls there was a wide moat extending all the way to the several smaller walled cities, one of which was erected by Alexander the Great. The walls moat, and the ruins of CH WILL 1 2 2 ON OF SOUTH AFRICAN E hundreds of buildings still stand, and the old place offers a great field for archological investigation. The Russians have made some excavations, but for the most part the city is untouched. I examined a number of mosques and dwellings and made a few discoveries, many relics. I dug up some silver and copper artifacts, also found a number of bronzes. I also found the ruins of many baths that in a general way resembled the Roman bath. The baths were beautifully tiled and in several places I saw large quantities of pottery. I would be an excellent step I think to have an through scientific examination made of Merv, for I feel that the discoveries would repay the effort and that one should get more light on several periods of the world's history. That portion of Merv is probably its most modern portion, so the place boards of great antiquity. "Merv and Samarkand, which by the way means 'Face of the Earth,' were the centers of civilization of Central Asia at the time of Alexander the Great. After having Merv we went on to Bokara and we went on to Samarkand. The latter is now a mining city of 400,000 people. When the Russians took the place it was probably the greatest slave market in the world, and it is said that the soldiers of the citr released 400,000 slaves. Bokara was the home of the raiders who were among the Persians and north and east among the Mongolians, and it is of record that 20,000 slaves, principally women and children, have been driven in at one time. The Persians were seen in the faces of the people who walk the streets of Bokara, for they bear the cast of the Persian and Mongolian. Bokara had its black hole too; and I stood upon the great fist stone that caps it, a great underground chamber, where the huckleberry prisoner was cast to die. "The most interesting place in Bokara is the execution tower. I had heard of it before, but the matter had slipped from my mind, and it was from the ameer himself. I was in the executionation about it. It is a finely constructed tower of its height of 20 feet. meats it imposing. I asked the ameer what it was when it caught my eye, and he explained that it was the execution tower. The prisoner condemned to death, he explained, was compelled to walk to the top and then went to want to a sheer plunge of 250 feet to the ground. He survived the flight through the air his life was crushed out at the bottom. I expressed the opinion that it was a horrible punishment, but he seemed to think it was a good thing. He added that it made a 'fine sight. He had a couple of prisoners condemned to die a week later, and with true Oriental hospital said that he would have them with him. He just see just how the thing was done. With respect I could summon, I begged the law take its course. The Russian government has long contemplated doing away with the tower of death, and one of the methods of execution will be abolished. "Another great curiosity of that country is the graveyards. You find them everywhere, and they are another monument of the country. You can see them, semble a little table mountain, being from 100 to 200 feet high, with precipitous sides, covering an area of from ten to thirty acres. As you approach them you will see the hand of nature, built by the hand of nature, but probably part of an ancient scheme of defense. The final discovery is rather a shock. They are graves built on the top of one another. The bodies are carried up and dirt is plastered around them to an extent that each body takes up from ten to twelve feet of graves. They are modern, and some of these built up cemeteries have great antiquity. They, too, offer a promising field for the archival work. There are many in the ruins of one of these burial places. The surroundings of Bokara are very interesting, and I spent some time in looking over the Zarafarah valley, which is one of 130 miles with thousands of ditches. From Bokara we pressed on to Samarikand and spent considerable time, especially in the city of Bokara, and rulers remain to testify to its former greatness in the days when it was the seat of learning in Central Asia; when it was the home of the great campaigns, and when its people rushed 3,000 miles in a westerly direction into Europe, and fought their way east into Asia. T BE ? 3 OR THIS 1 VOLUTION. -From St. Paul Daily News college still stand and are in quite a good state of preservation considering their age. Leaving Samarkand behind is to the end of the valley of Turkestan in the mountains formed by the Himalaya mountains. We entered Afghanistan and then went on through the Pamyr country into Tibetan and Chukchi mountainous country peopled by Chukchi who know no rulers and are generally unfriendly and dangerous. We found them quite hospitable and friendly, however, we found that they allowed ourselves to be caught off guard and vigilant we never faced even an indication of serious trouble. In a general way we covered the country for a thousand miles and on our return went on back. For "Tibet is a high plateau or table land very sparsely settled, and all those that there are of a nomadic or roving disposition snow-covered Himalayas on the south and the Central desert of Asia on the north. Streams and rivers, flowing north and south, are fertile valleys, and it is in these that an island is found, Chinese Turkestan, or Western Tibet, the only portion I was aware of, of game and it is upon it that many of it. It is, as I before stated, an extremely dangerous country to travel in, and concludes that hunting was done All travel is done and all goods are transported in like manner. "I have had special opportunities for seeing and studying Russia, and I do not hesitate to pronounce her future a wonderful one. She has wealth of untreated territory (that is rich in minerals and still richer in its agricultural possibilities). She has problems of transportation and hamming up populations, but the genus of her, the musk ox, obstacles and one by one they are being solved.

LIVING EXPENSES IN PARIS Answer to the Question, "What Will It Cost to Live in Paris During the Exposition?"—Cabs and Wines the Only Cheap Things—All Details Enumerated. Special, Presidency correspondence, April 21. "What will it cost to live in Paris during the exposition?" Such is the cry coming out of Mandem, otherwise the appeal to compatriots in the City of Laughter for a "straight up." Americans in Paris are in despair, for one might as well ask them: "What will it cost to build a house?" It depends. The economic scale of modest means who must economize of modest means who willing to sacrifice comfort in order to see the great fair. Before going into details let me advise no American to dream of living in Paris this summer on less than $2 a do. In imagination I hear a call for less. Perhaps, but with such food and accommodations as the visitor from across the Atlantic would not tolerate at home. Let me add that if an American wishes to live in comfort on a $2 a do scale he should count on spending $2 a do or $2 a do, and does not include the剧院 or the sideshows of the exposition. Some writers have been telling—on paper—how cheaply one can live, but their schemes do not bear scrutiny. One of these men figures up a total of $7.40 a week, which is less than the assumption that it will be occupied by two persons. Breakfast he figures at 10 cents a day, but it is to constate only of coffee and bread. That is the unlucky breakfast in Paris, but if an American can eat it, he can eat ghee and eggs, and he can get his little dejeuner for 10 cents at his lodging place or at a modest café. If he goes outside, however, he should count on an extra 2 cents, for a tip to the garçon, and on the cafe. Neither must he expect a tablecloth or a napkin. If he finds within reasonable distance a restaurant equipped with table linen he will probably have to pay 15 cents or more for his morning cafe. The writer in question advises the modest American to follow the example of the provincial Frenchman, who "cats sandwiches on the grass" for his noon-day lunch at a cost of 10 cents. This may be alluring to a French peasant, but an American—amongst? Besides there will be no room for the on the exhibition grounds to go around among the natives themselves. After feeding the healthy Yankee on two-cent meals, the economist sends him two miles into the Latin quarter to get a 80-cent dinner. Even in ordinary times the economist dinner in Paris is not a repast to temple the dinner in Bologna, under the spell of Bohemianism. The economist lautally calls it "gypysing" which looks "nice" in print, but it is not "fillin". Two or three days of this unempet, underfed existence will give the average American all the "gypysing" he needs. If he expects to go back to that restaurant, he should give the garonon a 2-cent tip or make up his mind to change. The economist also forgot to include transportation. If the "kypss" pro tem should find his cheap restaurant near the Seine, the fare on the river boat will have two cents on week days and four cents on weekdays. If forced to use an omnibus or a day taxi, he will cost six cents at least three cents and probably six cents, because he may have to use two lines. But there is yet another difficulty with this "kypss" pro tem. The latter leaves the expedition grounds to the dinner in the Latin Quarter, he will not only have to pay two transportation fares, but he will find a double charge for admission to the fair after 6 p. m. Hence he will probably dine on the farrow to the Bohemian joy to that farrow's restaurant for a franc and a half. The economist includes an admission ticket to the Exposition each day at 20 cents, and the chances are that one buyet ticket will be given some seasons for even less. That would make a small, very small reduction in the account. On the other hand, it will be more expensive, and a o'clock in the morning or after 6 o'clock in the evening. This double price will also hold good for Sundays and holidays, and the manager reserves the right to change the time, even a fete is under way. This is the time a visitor is most eager to see the show, and it is therefore probable 20 cents will be the cost of his admission to the Exposition. Once inside the grounds the visitor will find forty or more spectacles tempting his eyes, ears and imagination. Each spectacle comes from one france (20 cents) up to ten francs ($2). Inside each side show we will find additional admission charges ranging from 10 cents to $1.20. One can buy a pair or $3 a day on these minor attractions, or buy a pair of glasses but the "gypsy" scheme does not allow a cent for such pleasures. It figures laundry expenses at 50 cents a week, but as the charges of Parisian blanching are higher than the cost of American laundries the allowance is too small, especially for summer. The schedule of this economist has many weak points, as the reader has already discovered, but there are others. He allows nothing for baths, omnibuses, toilets, and showers, matches, lights, and a dozen other necessities, each a trifle in itself, but in the aggregate making alarming inroads into the contents of a slender purse. None but expensive houses have to pay for baths, and the average bath house, but the cost is 20 to 20 cents. To the average American male visitor a daily newspaper will be a necessity, and those of English cost 2 or 3 cents. In the case of a house with a door each does not include light or heat. The lodger must pay extra for a fire, extra for a lamp, or a candle and often extra $2.40 PER YEAR. for the services of the maid who takes care of the room. It is always advisable to have a definite understanding on these points. Matches cannot be had for the maid's use. Their manufacture is a government monopoly, and they are both poor and expensive. One must buy them as a rule, and many pensions even charge for them. To the smoker tobacco in some form is a necessity, and that also is a government expense. The French cigars and cigarettes are either poor or expensive. The French system also has some compensation for able bled men, for there is never any call for them to give up their seats unless there should happen to be among those on the platform. The station is also equipped with points, and consequently there are more chances of getting a seat. One may, of course, board an omnibus between stations, if there is a vacant place, but in the case of a station with an exposition, that is likely to be hopeless exposition, starting points. There is still another difficulty. If one is so located as to be required to make a transfer he will be forced to take a number at the transfer station, and a second process of waiting. It is such a process that finding a lodging place that will not force one to use two lines, and if one can live near the starting point of an omnibus or tram line so much the beter. If the river is near the station, the boats will near the Seine will be desirable, for the side on the river is refreshing in runner and the passenger may land at any one of several points near exposition gates. The boats stop before 9 o'clock on the river, and will doubtless be kept up to a later hour when the patronage warrants it. The tipping system of Europe is irritating to the trans-antialantic visitor, but in Paris it is more comfortable to fall in on "custom of the country" than to kick against the wall, and will do his tipping on the European plan it need not be a serious burden. There are two French coppers that are very convenient for small tips. One is the ten contiles or two-soot piece, about as big as an English penny and equivalent to ten cents. The other is one-souce piece, equivalent to a cent. For a cafe order of ten cents or less one tip the waiter with a soup with the consciousness of knowing he has done his duty as a poor Frenchman would see it. If he gets only a cent on a frame order, it will be more in keeping with the ordinary routine to make it two soons on an order of ten to twenty-five cents. If he gets only a cent on a frame order the garon will pocket a four or a frecent tip with an earnest "merel, moonseur," or a gracious "mered, blen Mo裳me." A five cent tip may serve as a sweetener to a dollar order and still keep it free. The visitor who is "selling close to the wind" need selden for a larger tip. He can go through Paris swimming on an allowance of ten cents a day for "poor-boy," and may get off for less. The boutique restaurants will probably board on the American plan, and needs no advice. America one expects extra attention for a tip, but in Paris the rule works the other way. The tip secures no freeways, no parking, no remarks and inclivity. Better submit and live in comfort. The cab driver is another character who must be tipped if one would have pence of mind. One can pity the French "cocher," for he has a hard time of it. It is not easy to carry things to be found in Paris. Most of the cabs are owned by companies. The driver has to pay 60 cents a day for horse and carriage and an additional 10 cents to pay the fare. The fare until 12:30 o'clock at night is only 40 cents an hour, or 30 cents for a drive. Two persons will be carried as cheaply as one, and the drive may be carried in a car without extra charge. The practice of giving the cabman a 5-cent tip in addition to the fare, and he has come to regard it as his right. It may also be said in his favor that he has been given a 5-cent tip without extra charge. An additional 10 cents will secure a cab carrying ten persons. The charges from midnight to morning are increased by 5 to 15 cents. The cab driver, the "cocher," like cabbies elsewhere, will take advantage of strangers if he can. Cabs and wines are the only cheap YOU READ THE APPELL PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS. EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS 49 E. 4th St. St. Paul, Minn.

For choice reading, we refer our readers to an article which appears in this issue telling of a speech Pitchfork Tillman made at Ann Arbor, Mich., a few days since. It beats anything we ever heard of. We have not a sufficient command of language to express our opinion of the author of the speech, so won't try. Just read for yourselves and we don't care how bad your opinion is of the thing that made the speech. Just consider your statements our's. There are two classes of Afro-American, those who won't read Afro-American newspapers and those who won't read any other kind. Both are wrong. All good, intelligent citizens should take a daily paper, and read it so as to be informed on the news of the day; and all loyal Afro-Americaners should take one Afro-American paper so as to keep in touch with matters pertaining to the race. The grand protest of the Afro- Americans of Washington against the reappointment of Wight as one of the commissioners of the District of Columbia, on account of his utterances so derogatory to them, has had the effect of causing the President to appoint Henry B.

The cost of the bowl will be $3,000. We wonder if it will be big enough for him to soak his swelled head in?

The increase in the has been steady from 1762 to the present and proportion in relation to the whites has been from 37 per cent in 1800 to 46 per cent in 1800, there being in 1800 over $50,000 negroes resident in Georgia. The freedmen of Georgia and their sons own an increase of over 700,000 of land, an increase of over 700,000 and their taxable property is assessed at about $1,500,000, having increased in value nearly $3,000,000 since 1875. In the various occupations the agricultural are still in the great majority, although practically no occupation or profession that is not represented by a few at least. Hillery has decreased from 90 percent in 1880 to 50 per cent in 1900, and the number of children in public schools in the same period from 7 to nearly 190,000 public schools, with property valued at $196,000, and about 3,500 nongovernment teachers.

SEXATOR TILLMAN DEFENDS THE SHOOTING OF NEGROES IN THE SOUTH. SENSATIONAL IN HIS ABUSE. Says the Whites Have No Recourse, but to Ignore the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, and Run the Elections by Force of Arms. Ann Arbor, Mich., April 30.—The students of the University of Michigan listened one hour before the Senate interfered in Southern medias upon the reconstruction policy that it was ever their fortune or rather misfortune if you will, to listen to it. It was an opportunity, the Fourteenth, and fifteenth Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, upon the "Race Problem." under the auspices of the Fourteenth, and fifteenth shotgun and intimidation were the order of the day to accomplish the disfranchise of the negro, and that white the thirteenth, and that fifteenth amendments to the constitution were not repealed in fact, they were nullified in fact, they were nullified in Carolina. Among other things, he said: "This is not a race or negro question of the South alone; it is not a local or sectional question; it is a national question, and this is what we want to know to look for in You in Michigan. In Michigan nothing about this question. You judge only by books and from what you hear: politicians say, who have axes to grind. The last census gives Michigan 7,000 colored and 600,000 white voters, or to about 10. If there were to be pro-monies intermarriage between the races Michigan it would not affect the white race. He then went into the history of the war, and North calls the War of the Rebellion, and which you can never make me admit. He said that the very men who claim negro and to put the ballot in his hands are the men who have recently distanced themselves from slaving the natives of the Philippine省, and the senators of the United States and the senators of the United States and would have liked to use a term sufficiently strong to express the actual facts, but he said that to "hiss the word 'hypocrite' into their manner as I was capable of doing." He continued: "You have heard of the governor in South Carolina, Well, we have $2,000 negro voters to $8,000 white voters. How much more would you like to beat that majority in a fair vote? It can't be done. So we got together; and repealed the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, got arms and carried the election, and repealed the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, got arms and carried the election by vote and framed it, and took the state away from the negro. Michigan, and we wouldn't have stood it; if we hadn't remembered Sherman's bravery, we wouldn't have freed the slave and settled nothing else." He spoke in a most contemptuous man- ners, laziness, shiftless, with no tenacity of purpose, etc., and that since their freedom, sales, shiftless, with no tenacity of purpose, sales, "Education is a bar more than benefit to them. When colored men learn to obtain goods and money, Character is the main essential to life, and we look at them as the most important one good mother in one hundred. We cannot not one good mother totally lacking in virtue. The venture of that man is a total failure. The object of that man is to graduate, to be graduate high grade mechanics and to be graduate high grade mechanics and their learning would be graduated man would not joblele him in a com- mputer world. The negro is fit only as a shoeblock man and the cotton and rice fields. he had no fears of the "race problem" he had no fears of the "race problem" he would only keep their hands off, and predicted that the Northernner will not dare attack the Southernner in the nature of the past, as the precedent established in the Philippines, Hawaii and New Zealand, forever bar any such interference. The address was loudly applauded, more accounted for, the Amazon boldness than the talk.

French is so important in our life that we use it in our box or in our toilets. French canals are comparing notes there is a frequent query: "Do you get, enough to eat?" Similar complaints are also made. Publishers in the English papers in Paris. Food is expensive and human labor is cheap. Most Parisians are forced to light eaters. It is an education in how to see how thin midsummans can put the flesh out of their mouths with which she dips out an extra half ladle of soup may be either an art or an inheritance. Perhaps she is seen at her best or worst—when after having dished out a plate of two or three morsels and returning to platter. I do not think this mode of life is due to stinginess or avarice. It is forced upon Parisians by their crushing exasperation and small income. In the case of a French woman, the additional necessity of making enough during the season to carry the mistress through the remainder of the season is an anxious to get into a French house, where he must accept the pension as it is. There are quite a number of boarding houses catering to Americans in which trans-Atlantic visitors can live in, comparative comfort, for seven and eight that is in ordinary rates to $120 a week. That is in ordinary rates to $120 a week does not include "light or heat. Few American visitors to Paris will want to put up with less than these pensions afford, but there seems to be a general trend that is higher rates May 1, to $2 and-$24 a day. In some of these houses it has been possible to get rooms, without meals, at two frances a day or $20 a week. They are notifying loggers of an advance to four frances a day or $20 a week to $7 a week merely for a place to sleep. These are the moderate prices in the quarter of the patronized by Americans, and it is hardly necessary to add that it is the best quarter of Paris. An ordinary room in an apartment is worth the rate would be $2 a day with an advance of $2 in May. That included no meals. Another who is paying $220 a day at a small hotel in the St. Louis area in beginning May 1. This is with meals. These are merely given as samples of a general condition. Visitors seeking rooms at cheap prices will have to go some distance to find such rooms. The Latin quarter is one of the most promising fields for these wanderers. will want to Allen, Richard: Autobiography, Philadelphia, 1888; Autobiography, Philadelphia, 1884; a general raise 'their anonymous, Anonymous, Appointed, a day, Armstrong, J.

You can read in the book of fare "Blinken of coffees." Beersweet at twelve centrically does look cheap, but when it comes on the investigator finds that his morsel two inches wide and three inches long. This is not an aggression or about shouting. Potatoes are extra. A lump of bread adds a thin wafer of butter, extra. A little more butter or bread, another extra charge. At the end of the meal the dinner must be unable to make the mystic bill take the form of a mental memorandum, but a veteran waiter who there is an extra charge for tablecloth and napkin. Finally there is the tip to the waiter, who in this case is the "madame" instead of a "garoon." The establishments are good, moderate priced restaurants, but they are not in them, for it is no trick to spend four or five franks for a modest meal. A French housekeeper has furnished me with the prices of some staple stuffs, which will show how living is not cheap. The cheapest meat to be had is scraps. The most expensive for an American pound. At the scale the scale are cooked hams at 43 cents a pound, and the best steaks at 40 cents. Uncooked hams can be had at 24 cents and meat at 13 to 22 cents. Stirling steak meat 18 cents and veal at 13 to 32 cents, the price of the latter depending on the number of bones. The usual grades of coffee from 30 to 54 cents, but any for a lamp may not appear so unassailable in the light of the fact that kerosene costs 54 cents a gallon. Butter costs from 28 to 72 cents a pound, and any for a lamp for less than 28 cents may be set aside. The meat worth 11 cents, and flour ranges from 5 to 9 cents. These high prices are due in part to the octol, the tax on food stuffs brought into the city. It is to the degree that no matter how humble or untidy the restaurant the cooking is good. The dyspeptic whose purse is as poor as his stomach may a "gysps" diet with the assurance of escaping the all-purposefulness of the cheap restaurant of America. Let me repeat that no American with a respect for himself and his stomach should think of trying to do Paris during the Exposition for less than $2 a day. He should still enjoy interesting to economize and thus safely interesting a day, with careful management and self-denial, he can see the essential things. If he wants to see everything he can use $5 to $10 a day without waste. These figures do not include drinks, cigars or the night show that are toured by a swarm of boulevard guides. Of course, there is no limit to the cost of these things and the high pressure with which American men have to put into their short stay will also increase the daily outlay. And still the transatlantic visitor will probably ask: "What is the best way to do Paris and the Exposition?" It will be money in pocket to buy a good book on the way over, especially its maps and the transportation lines. At the posts on this side one of the English dailies of Paris can be had by previous arrangement with a steamer steward, and in that case you can go to hotels and pensions; catering to Americans. The stranger can then look around. If he wishes to make a change he can get admissible advice from the attaches at Commission General Peck's office. The colony will be glad to help out a compatriot with a knowledge and experience gained by rubbing against the sharp corners of the City of Laughter. **ent.** Johnson, Wm.: Prominent Colored Men of Kentucky.

The sketch is based on that sport. It is called "The Lady of the Lhika." Annie Russell will likely be seen in a dramatization of "Lorna Doone," R. D. Blackmore's celebrated story, next season. It is being adapted for the stage now by Louis N. Parker. De Wolf Hopper has just bought a new opera and will produce it as soon as possible. It is by Jacquil and Scribe and the tall comedian thinks it will suit him. The name is not yet announced.

Within two hours he found and fined $55 by Justice Wallace. Look up Your Property Editor The Appeal: Through your paper I wish to call the attention of your readers as far as possible to the fact that the Census Bureau is planning to take the taking of the Census in June to find the exact amount of property of every description that is owned by Afro-Americans. This means a great deal of the property is very largely judged by the world by the result. It is of the utmost importance that each individual member of the race in every part of the country owns the property of the amount and value of the property that he owns so as to be ready to give it at once to the census taker. It is also important that as far as possible to the attention of the people to this matter as far in advance as may be thought best. Graduation of Trained Nurses.

Carter's new play, "The Tornado," is laid in a Wisconsin village, on the Fourth of July manifest, it turns a storm soon becomes a terrible tornado, houses are tow ashore and blown away, great trees are taken up roots and all, and watted into space, lightning flashes and thunder peals. The scene is one of awful intensity and youthfulness.

A war correspondent writes from South Africa to the London Dally Mall: "A certain gallant corps at Chieveley camp provided the guard that should protect our precious beer till Christmas day. In the morning two dozen bottles were missing. 'Disgraceful' said the authorities; 'double the guard' and they doubled it. Next day four dozen were missing." It is a poor relief from sorrow to fly to the distractions of the world. As might be lost we worried bird, suspicious and perilous pestous ocean, seek a resting place on row seek a place of repose amid the bustling cares and intoxicating pleasures of earth and time—Dr. Spring. On Sabbath and other occasions, I have weared myself with attempts to awaken devotional feeling, by reading compositions of a merely hortatory kind—practical and experimental writings, and a basis, and I believe it is in many cases the basis, we think we can do to go into the very strongest parts of theological argument, and feed upon such strong turrets in Calvin, Rivet, Turretse, Wittius, Owen—Dr. James W. Alexander. MRS. AGNES MOODY Writes White Eurette to the Paris Expo- gition March 28, 1900 We are now in sight of land. The first is Bishop's Rocks, when, twenty-fourth, our earlier east we passed Wolf Rock lighthouse, then three men, who remain there for three months at a time. This lighthouse is twenty-two miles from the nearest point of land, called the Needles, which is about 10 miles north of April — Now we have passed Lizard Point—some call it Land's End. This is the English coast. The first town is over. The next town we came to was Fishing. There our mail was found. I was as glad to see land as was Columbus. Then we sailed very nicely until we came to the North Sea. Here we tried it rough again. It was so cold, and the wind was very strong, not stay on deck, but thank the Lord, we got over safe. We had a burial at sea. A young man died. He was going to see his mother and father; it was too cold, and we drooped. Sunday evening at 7:30 we landed, Antwerp, took a cab to the depot, paid 5 francs to go over, and had to wait until the 10:20 train. We had one of the girls in our room, it was very fine. We passed through Holland, Belgium and North France, and arrived in Paris at 6 a.m. There was no one there to meet us. The porch was that a man had been there all day, until we had to back it at 8 a.m. So Mrs. Alex and I went in the waiting room and sat down to wait. We were looked at to their hearts' content by the people, until we could see Brother John. The depot is a great big place, so I walked up a little way, and there John was sitting on a bench reading the paper. I said, "John!" you bet he jumped, and glad to see me and hear from all of you. He is like Sadie all over. Morris Lewis came to see me. He is well, doing well, and working hard every day. We meet me to everyone. Your sister and aunt.

Hutchels will take the Knights Tulipmars degree June 2nd. A few nights the police raided the Eclipse Club on fourth street which was started by Attorney S. M. Marsh about a year ago. The police captured twelve Afro-Americans and one white man. The police Marsh was charged with keeping a diRECTORY of $50 bonds for a hearing before a jury May 7. The other inmates were held in $50 bill each. The raid was the chief topic of conversation for several days. Mr. W. Hutton formerly head waiter of the West End, St. Louis, has been appointed head, Mr. Davidson, as Mr. Hutton has been employed in the European hotels in the country and is a young man of ability and good habits he will no doubt give general satisfaction. He will pay his men $0.50 per month in order to secure first class one. No others need apply. The head and second waiter of the hotel return thanks to Mr. Danman for conferring with his dent, J. J. Miles, before taking his head waiter and will do all in its power to assist Mr Hutton in securing comfort in his dining room. Mr. Darman assured Mr Miles that the report that girls would be employed is untrue and that Mr. Darman men who he can get the right kind, and not the wrong We promised we would compare the Afro-Americans of the present time with the early settlers of the Cream City. We have proven that if the fiery settlers owned the property today they did axe it up and move it to the land. Now we will take up the new inflow from 1890 to 1902 and see what progress has been in thirty nine years. After the Enemulation in 1865 a few Afro-Americans begin to settle here again, and in 1892 we begin to buy the bands" came home with the soldiers and settled here, but they were not enterprising. A number of them are still living here. On Sept. 17, 1868 the opening of the Plankton House brought the them back and they remained with them and they bought a house and lot. No. 498 Wells street for $28 per foot today not one can buy a foot of land in the block for less than $300. Mr. Miles awake out of the stipulation and his property ten years later bought a broker. Since 1899 G. W. Land, Henry Blackwin, Col. John A. Slaughter, John Goodwin, J. Reenson, Hon. P. C. Clark, — Pointeden, Louis Hughes, Louis P. Willham, Wills Hughes, one first barber and improved property the Afro-Americans worth between $7,000 and $10,000 in real estate since 1895 which speaks well for those who came here since 1895. Now we will compare the business of the present time with that of the early settlers of the Cream City, one first class barber and three fourth class ones, one turkish bath room, one restaurant, one massage bath, one wood and coil dealer—by the 10 cent jen one first class and one second class. By the 10 cent jen two first class and one second class. To mention two doctors, two lawyers, one typewriter. This is near as the writer can remember the Afro-Americans prosperity in Ice Cream City aside from the follower who can be found standing in the bar in every city telling his friends what the Afro-Americans are doing and one enriched lodge, one help and has society and one weekly paper.
