The most outrageous trade of Ben Tillman at Ann Arbor bore fruit very rapidly, as may be seen from the following special from that city: Samuel Bayliss is an Afro-American in the employ of James B. Angell, president of the University of Michigan, in the capacity of coachman. Bayliss is a man of unexceptionable character and intelligence, without a flaw of any kind to which any person can point. His wife is an educated and refined woman, a graduate of the Ann Arbor high school. A short time ago Mr. Bayliss bought a lot on Mary street for $235. This street is one of the side streets, about five blocks from the university campus, and was selected by him because not so far from his place of work as are some of the streets where a lot could be purchased at the same moderate price. A few days ago Bayliss bought a house and commenced moving it on the lot purchased by him. There ```markdown ``` RICHARD YATES Republican Candidate for Governor of Illinois. seemed to have been objections on the part of some of the people living in the vicinity of this lot to Bayliss moving in the neighborhood. Early yesterday morning a thunderous explosion was heard in that neighborhood. Some white fiend, attempting to imitate Tillman's methods, had put some dynamite under Bayliss' house and shattered it. As a just retribution to the neighborhood who encouraged this fiendish act, the neighborhood suffered from the effects of the explosion about as much as was sustained by Bayliss. The indignation in this city is very strong against the fiend who perpetrated this outrage, and this indignation is as general among the whites, Democrats as well as Republicans, as among the Afro-Americans. If the discovery is made as to who perpetrated the act, he will quickly meet his deserts. An effort is being made on the part of the neighbors to purchase the interest of Bayliss in this property, but the white friends of Bayliss are undecided whether to allow him to sell out his rights in this manner or to advise him to keep the property and live there. But there ought not to be any hesitancy in the matter, its Bayliss' lot and if a man cannot build on his own lot where will he build. We hope that the good people of Ann Arbor will come to their senses and let Bayliss alone. He won't bother them if they don't bother him. A new monthly called American Progress has appeared in Chicago. The title seems to be a misnomer. In his "Declaration of Principles," Editor Belmont says: "Second: Every department of the government should serve its citizens without favor, regardless of race, color, wealth or position!" "Thirteenth: Negroes should not be eligible for election or appointment to any office under the United States government." How is it possible in a republic for a man to be a citizen and yet ineligible to office on account of his race? The Negroes and those of Negro descent in the United States number at least 10,000,000, that is one-seventh of the entire population. To say that a republic has the right to deny representation to one-seventh of its people on account of race, color or religion is to strike a blow at the very root of democracy. The man who is narrow enough to advance such proposition should have chosen the name "Backward," or something like it for his new publication. Miss M. Genevieve Barnett, chief assistant organizer of the American Protective League, who is attempting to form local organizations among the Afro-American people, claims a membership of 44,000 for her organization. Regarding the scheme, Miss Barnett says: "To me the only solution of the present race problem seems to be the founding of cities in which the colored people of the country may assemble and work, free from the prejudices which prevent them from becoming prominent under present conditions. When these cities have been established and industries conducted entirely by colored business men have commenced operations the colored people will show that they are possessed of ability sufficient to conduct any great business enterprise, and the prejudice against them will be removed." THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER can Methodist Episcopal church in session at Columbus, O., speaking for the Afro-American, declares that the Boers are land grabbers and look upon a black skin as a badge of inferiority. They conclude the resolutions which were unanimously adopted as follows: Resolved, That, while we deprecate war between nations, yet we heartily indorse the action of England in her efforts in teaching these misguided people (the Boers) the true lessons of our Christian civilization. Resolved, That the sympathy of this meeting go out to the struggling natives, who are groaning under the hellborn tyranny of oppression and wrong at the hands of Boers. There is a race war on in Chicago, and the Swedes and Italians who reside on Milton avenue, are bitterly denouncing each other. The Swedes are calling the Italians "objectionable foreigners," and the Italians retaliated by wanting to know whether Sweden is any more a part of the United States than Italy is. The Swedes met and decided that the Italian must go. The Italians met and decided they would not go. The end is not yet. It's pretty hard for an Afro-American to get a situation above those which old "pitchchick tillman" of South Carolina says they are fitted for, so it must be doubly exasperating in the case of the Afro-American of Waycross, Ga., who has received an appointment as a census enumerator, having passed the examination, but who will be lynched by the "superior race" if he attempts to do his work. The Fourth district Republican convention met in Raleigh, N. C., last week to elect delegates to the Republican national convention. The Afro-Americans demanded that one of the four delegates be an Afro-American. When this was refused they bolted and will send a contesting delegation. That's all right. One reason that will partially account for an export movement of gold just now is the exodus of Americans for the Paris Exposition. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of our good money will be expended in Europe this year. The St. Louis public schools will have a monster picnic in June for the benefit of the Teachers' Annuity Fund in which all pupils and teachers will participate without regard to race or color or previous condition. Recently the press unpatches had a thrilling account of the holding up of an Iron Mountain passenger train by a "lone Negro bandit." It turns out that the "lone Negro bandit" was a white man with a blackened face. Senator Tillman's recent speech about the Negro voter seems to have been but a preliminary toward disfranchising him in the South, judging from the action of the leading political party in Virginia. An Afro-American bishop of unlimited authority and widest jurisdiction will be one of the creations of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, now in session in Chicago. The Southern people have combined to distranchise the Afro-American. The movement has suddenly sprung up in Virginia and a constitutional convention will be called for that pur- HARTZELL HITS BOERS HE MAKES STRONG PLEA FOR BRITISH RULE IN SOUTH AFRICA Large, Audience Warmly Applauds His Sentiments—Speaker Descursive Trans.—Vocal Government for Brutality to Natives and Foreigners. Bishop Hartzell's lecture on "Briton and Boer at the Auditorium Thursday night" is a comprehensive treatment of his theme, and he carries his heart from half sympathy to a point where they were moved by his arguments for British rule. His strongest arguments were those against the Boers of natives and against their refusal to allow outlanders justice through the government or in the courts. "No one can understand the full significance of this contest in south Africa unless he studies the laws and spirit of the Britons and Boers concerning the black populations in their midst and in their land. Chartered companies, protectorates, republics, colonies, and empires in south Africa will come and go, but the one weqaid which weqaid isqaid $B$umipuusqaid which remain is the treatment of the black population. However much in certain sections of the white civilization, the largest proportion of that continent is to be occupied by these people, and the 150,000,000 of today are to multiply more and more in the future as there is good evidence and as there is development of community in the beginning. "In the treatment of the Black races there has been a clear antagonism between the Briton and the Boer from the beginning. The first trek in 1833 was because England abolished slavery, and were other issues, but every serious contest had its relation to the natives. Boers Believe in Slavery. "The Boer believes that the natives are the Brazen of Ham and are intended by Protegeon of slavery. If slavery cannot be in that form, the relation must by law be fixed so that equality of privilege is not permitted between the Boer and the native, no matter what may be the intelligence of the latter. "The laws now in force are unavailably demonstrate this. The constitution provides that there shall be no equality between white and black persons in church or state; no black walk on the sidewalk in town or city; no white walk on the sidewalk in native teachers and preachers' institutions foreign missionary societies, but also black or mulatto who come from Cape Colony or elsewhere. About two years ago, when this law was enforced in 1865, a Johannesburg, there were many foreign missionaries for several days before they came to understand what the law meant. Restrictions of the Blacks. "No black man can own land in the United States," a man can become a trader of land he lacks what his intelligence or how good his character. Up to two years ago there could be no legal marriage of any man and his marriage law was passed requiring marriage to other hindrances so many that the missionaries and philanthropists are seeking to have it repealed. No black man can own land in the Transvaal. He cannot sue the government nor a white man. "The Transvaal does nothing toward the education of the black people, although by licenses, etc., they pay 3 per cent of the public school money. When the teachers them is done by English and European teachers and missionary associations, and the testimony of all preachers and missionaries in the Transvaal, outside of the Dutch Reformed Church, is that their work is often interfered with, and that the teachers are Boer officials, is frequently brutal toward the natives connected with mission stations. "Recently Mrs. Applebee, wife of a Wesleyan Mehodist missionary, was murdered on her way to church because of her criticisms of the government, and no arrests have yet been made. The Transvaal Dutch churches, after fifty years of opportunity, have done practically nothing in mission-working among the natives. I failed to learn the language, and much less a native teacher, or preacher, congregation, in either branch of the Transvaal Reformed Church. President Kruger's branch, which is the true Reformed body and claims to be the true Reformed body, nothing, but, beginning with Kruger himself, represents the most extreme anti-black sentiment. Fair Dealing Under English Law. "Dutch Reformed Church in Cape Cod and in Natal, which has been under one of the most english law, fair dealing to the blamman, as well as example, shows a different record. They have missions among the blacks, and they have some most excellent people who are giving time and money to this great work, and they have a conservative sentiment, even in that against them in their own church. "On the other hand, in Cape Colony the constitution allows no difference on account of color in church or state; nation or school; or on sidewalk; they trade among the same conditions as Briton or Boer; can own all the land they can buy, and have the same marriage laws as others; education is encouraged among the government gives assistance to schools, and spends many thousands of pounds every year in helping to educate the blacks, and as a climax the blacks have the franchise and vote on the same conditions as their white peers; and spends many thousands of natives under English rule who are not only intelligent and educated, but who have property, and the natives largely support their own schools and preachers and churches. Transvaal Officials Brulal. "Could there be a more positive contrast than the above laws and administration indicate? Add to all this the brutality, especially of Transvaal offence, which many instances in the treatment which Cronle recently gave to a native chieftainess and her people. On a letter written by one of his own men, he read to her, without giving her any answer, 700 or rebuttal, he fined her nearly 1000 dollars together thirteen of her advisers, flogged them, giving to each twenty-six lashes; and when each one refused to say thank you another lash was added. They had done nothing wrong when they ought to have advised her better. They taken to the courts and the judge decided that the fine should be returned, which has never been done. And Gen. BISHOP J. C. HARTZELL. BISHOP J. C. HARTZELL. Cronte became the chief native commissioner, and the two men who conducted the flogging were made special members of the conditions of the natives in that section. "Every black man in America, and every well-wisher of the black man in America and elsewhere ought to pray for the British arms in South Africa." Of San Juan Hill Is Taylor, Not Rosevelt. Washington, May 8.—In Washington at he present time is the real, but unrecognized, hero of the battle of San Juan hill. His name is Taylor; not an American, but a Texan. Co. H., Ninth cavalry, U. S. A. was the first man up the hill, and at his back—the first company up the hill—not the Rough Riders, but the Afro-Americans of Co. H., Ninth regular. This is the testimony of those who are in a position to speak with authority, and I am informed it is the general understanding of people in Cuba. It is borne out by the official records. He was shot through the neck while leading a shot when it was supposed that the wound was fatal. The ball ranged downward and touched the spinal column, and for months he was paralyzed on one side. It was repaired; but there is still a partial helplessness. Capt. Taylor never has received any promotion or substantial recognition of his heroism. There is some sort of a "brevet commission" which he received; but it is a sort of thing at which you regular* army officer smiles. There is no secret or mystery in the brushing aside of a real hero in favor of a Teddy Roosevelt. The captain makes soldiering his business. The men who have done a hundred more dives than Teddy, but whose names are scarcely ever printed outside the official war records. They do not wield vallent pens, owrite for the magazines long stories of "How I did It All." They wear the army as a political investment, and in the military rewards in political honors. After being shot through the neck in the performance of the rulers they step aside for the spectacular gentlemen; and while the spectacular gentlemen and while with laurel and governorships they have in armory in the commissary department, and superintendent repairs at the Soldiers' men. Important Supreme Court Decision An interesting decision has just been handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States. Seth Carter was convicted of murder in the criminal case of Michael T. Texler, sentenced to be hanged. When the case was first called for trial, Wilford H. Smith, Esq., who represented Carter, made a motion to quash the indictment on the ground that the jury committed the murder by which formed the indictment selected no Afro-Americans to serve on the grand jury, but on the contrary excluded all Afro-Americans because of color, although the Afro-Americans convicted were fourth of the population and the registered voters of the city and county of Galveston, and although otherwise qualified to serve as grand jurors, Mr. Carter was convicted of introducing evidence to sustain the allegations made in the motion, but the court HON. CHARLES GATES DAWES. Chairman Illinois Republican Convention. THE REAL HERO refused to hear and overruled the mo- mentary judge, and an exception to the judge's ruling. The next move made by him as councillor for the defendant was after the jury had been selected for trial and thus had been selected for the panel he moved to quash the panel of petitions technically the same ground as stated in the former motion, and offered to sustain the alligations with evidence; but the court ruled against him and again the court ruled against the case then proceeded to trial and the case found guilty an the death penalty assessed. Lawyer Smith, who is a tailor, was Young Afro-American, appealed the case to the court of criminal appeals of Texas, but the court of the acts of the lawer court. Next he went to the Supreme Court of the State, which found for Carter in each case the set forth by his attorney, revival of case and remanding it back for trial. Republican Candidate for Governor of Illinois. Richard Yates was born in Jacksonville, Morgan county, Dec. 12, 1860, and he lives there yet. His father was a teacher. After being graduated from Illinois, he graduated from the law school. Then he journeyed back to Jacksonville and began work and work for his party. The money needed to pay him through the two colleges he earned by working as city editor of the Jacksonville Journal and Courier. served as city attorney of Jacksonville on the circuit bench. During that time Judge Carter's place in Chicago at several terms of court and passed upon many special assessment cases. Then Judge McKinley made him revenue collector of Jacksonville and Springfield. This was in connection of his services in getting an instructed delegation for President McKinley to the state convention in 1896. McKinley was one of the nominees of the Republican convention for congressman-at-large. His friends say he is a good politician. His ability to make an interesting speech is one of his greatest gifts and his sense of humor is another. He remembers names and faces and dates and is a "good "mixe." Those are the names in his favor in the eyes of his friends. Rev. Dr. John W. E. Bowen, who is mentioned for Episcopal honors at the hands of the Methodist conference now in session, is one of the foremost ministers' of the day. His fame rests chiefly upon his attainments as a professor of his eloquence is of a very high order. He was born of slave parents at New Orleans in 1854. After taking the degree of bachelor of arts from the University of New Orleans he passed through the Boston University with the degree doctor of philosophy. He then entered the University of Virginia and on leaving that institution Dr. D. he became professor of mathematics in Central Tennessee College. Dr. Bowen has been pastor of St. John's Church, Baltimore; professor of history in Morgan College, of Hebrew in New York; and a historical theology in Gammon Sessions. He has written voluminously on questions concerning the Afro-Americans.

Defective Page THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER # Three cattlemen from Montana were in the city Wednesday and went out to see the town by moonlight. They got into a resort on Eighth street between Robert and Jackson and the women went through them in short order. One lost $310, another $60 and the third $30. They told their troubles to a policeman, who went to the house where the touching was done, but the angels had spread their wings and silently flown to parts unknown. Mr. and Mrs. Booker W. Smith had a close call for their lives Wednesday night. A fire started in the building where they lived, 137 W. Seventh street, just after they were gone to bed and they had to escape in their night clothes. Everything they had, about $1,000 worth, was a total loss, on which they carried an insurance of $300. Their little dog got under a couch and was found alive after the fire was extinguished, but somewhat injured by the smoke and steam. The fire started in the lower part of the building occupied by a glove factory. LITTLE BO-PEEP. A PASTORAL OPERETTA. In three acts. DRAMATIS PERSONAE. Little Bo Peep ... Miss Eva Reeves. Boy Blue ...

Resolutions of Respect In view of the fact that the Baptist ministers' meetings have closed for the summer, and that Rev. D. S. Orner, the only Afro-American member of that body, is expecting to leave the city soon, the resolutions he was passed at their meeting in Minneapolis on Monday evening. After speaking very highly of the work of Rev. Orner, and the high esteem in which he worked, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved. That in parting with our brother, Rev. D. S. Orner, who terminates his pastorate of Pilgrim Baptist church in St. Paul, we the Baptist have recorded our esteem of him as a Christian man, a wise leader and an able and efficient minister of Jesus Christ. We especially desire to express our appreciation of the important service he has given to the Afro-Americans, in effecting so favorable an adjustment of the financial conditions of Pilgrim Baptist church. REV. W. W. EVERTS, Pres. W. H. TRAVOS, Sec. On Tuesday evening at the meeting in St. Paul the following resolutions were passed: Resolved. We, the Baptist pastors of this city, desire to put on record our appreciation to Rev. D. S. Orner as a fellow pastor. By his uniting zeal, upright and studious habits, and especially his faith, hope and tact, in leading Pilgrim church through death to resurrection, he has called forth our admiration and love. W. N. EVERTS, Pastor Woodland Park Church. H. F. STILLWELL, Pastor First Baptist Church. W. H. GAMBLE, Pastor Philadelphia Baptist Church. G. H. GAMBLE, Pastor Hebron Baptist Church. 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 make a special effort during the next year to find the exact amount of property of every description that is owned by Afro-Americans. This means a great deal to us as a people, as we will be very largely judged by the world by the fact that each individual member of the race in every part of the country begin at once to make a careful list of the amount and value of the property that he owns so as to be ready to give it to a common taker. It is also important that as far as possible ministers and teachers call the attention of the people to this matter as far in advance as may be thought best. Yours truly, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. KIDNAPPED IN NEW YORK At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. Barney Gilmore, who was last seen here on Mr. Brgm m in "Hogan Alloy" will present at the Grand Open House will present a new production "Kidnapped in New York." The play has been written around the kidnapping of "Baby Maion Clark." It is said that the author Mr. Howard Hall, followed the sore from the beginning to the final culture of her abductors. Mr. Gilmore's spoken of as one of the foumintest Irish comedians on the American stage and can provoke his audience by his genuine artistic merits, which he possesses in an eminent degree. He is what is termed an "Irish eccentric" but of the new school of which he is worthy exponent. Interest in Mrs. Stew's masterpiece is personal. "Men may come and man go" but, like Tennison's book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" bids to "go forever." A dramatic version of the story will be presented here following the engagement of "Kidnapped in New York" by Al. W. Martin's mamoth organization. All the characters are impersonated by white actors, but in the plantation and levee scenes, a score of Afro-Americans give exhibitions of buck dancing and other pastime timestamps. The scenic accessories are gorgeous and historically correct, and special care has been taken to secure the correctness of the costuming. An immense street parade will be given each day during the engagement. MUST PAY. Subscriber Who Failed to Notify the Publisher to Stop His Paper. Justice Johnson, of St. Paul, has decided in the case of the Odd Fellows Took the paper and desires to have a paper on his address, he must first pay the publisher the amount he owes for the paper, a reward for the paper be discontinued in his address. The evidence in the case brought for the facts that Gafey subscribed and paid for one year, and that he continued to receive the paper had expired. He then changed his address without notifying the publisher, and claimed not to have received the paper through no fault of the publishers, who received a judgment for the amount due and costs. WHAT A BLACK MAN Saw in a White Man's Country The above is the title of a book which has just been published by Rev. William S. Brooks, pastor of St. Peter's A. M. E. church, Minneapolis. It description of a visit of the author to Europe and especially to Sweden and Norway, the "land of the Midnight Sun". It is quite interesting in every particular and abounds with quiet wit and humor, together with much valuable information. It is dedicated to his wife, of whom he says: "Who has been not only encouragement but inspiration." There is a peculiar charm about the style of the author's writing which makes one feel he was listening to an oral presentation of the subject matter. And, as Rev. Noah Lathrop says of the book, in a prefactory note, "It reads to me as though it had been prepared for oral delivery, and I think he might do well to deliver it in that manner." THE APPEAL takes great pleasure in commending the work as very pleasing and instructive. It is where human weakness ends, that divine power begins.—Segnerl.

Misses Noble and Holey were requisites of invitations to the opening inauguration of the exposition April 14. Delegate to London Ecumenical Conference. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church of Chicago, has been selected by Hays schools' council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of Chicago, in session at Columbus, O. as deli- dent to represent the African Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States at the Methodist Ecumenical Confer- ence that will meet in London next year. Rev. Ransom was born in Ohio thirty-six years ago and received his edu- cation at Wilberforce University. He held a position in Ohio and finally was called to a pastorate in Cleveland, O. which he for- several years with marked suc- cess. Four years ago he became pastor of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church of denation in Chicago. During his pastorate the membership of that congregation has steadily in- creased and in the last four years a great deal of work has been done by that church. The Methodist Ecumenical Conference is a gathering of representatives in thirty-one branches of Methodism from eight countries. These conferences are held every ten years, and the last one was held in Washington in 1851. The Ecumenical Conference is a deliberative body, and possesses no authority or administrative powers.

The musical verses of this young poet acquire, an added charm when read by the author. He has the unnatural voice of a declaration, his voice is deep, rich, and mellow, and he recites his verses with a quiet force that is pleasing. One of the poems, "The Warrior's Prayer," is given with peculiarly good effect. 47 STORES IN AMERICA Writes of Her Impressions of Paris, and the Exposition. Paris, France, April, 1900—My Brother John met us at the station. After going to breakfast we went to the exposition. On our road we passed the large wholesale and retail store of Dufaye on Carbard Bawres and we called Gare du Nord. We passed down Rue Lafayette and saw the great old church of St. Paul, through Rue Devout and saw the great governmental auction rooms, through the Grand Boulevard, where we saw the church of the Loyons; also the people sitting on the sidewalks at a cafe eating and drinking in the street. We saw the grand opera house covering five acres of ground and the grand hotel on the adjoining church and the Rue Royal, the Tulleries Garden and the Place de la Concord and all the small concert halls and gardens on the Champs Elysées. At the exposition we found all behind time, but everybody was glad to see what thought we would not cross the ocean. The exposition will not be worth seeing for another two months. We saw the Elifel Tower and other large shows too numerous to mention now. We saw the Chapel of the Virgin and Avenue Kleber, passed the American embassy, the Place de Etoile and Arch de Triumph, Place Chichy and Arch de Triumph, the famous Mullin Rouge and all the great concert and dance halls of boulevard. The great Church of Sacred Heart on Montmartre, when we saw the windows, been enough for one day so went home. Our second day out we visited the Concercerie or Tribunals of Law: the old building of La Sante, St. Bartholemie, where the Huguenots were massacred, the windows ever saw, the windows are all a perfect history, hundreds of years old. Next the great church of Notre Dame and were used in time for the grand opening of the museum, you a description later as it was too grand and impressive to speak of now. Next we saw the statue of Charlemagne, which is also very grand. Afterward we went to see the morgue and we visited the houses of many years of age. At the morgue we saw some five or six dead men who looked just as natural as life. They had been frozen so as to preserve their features for recognition should any one come in who knew them. We walked through the hall and looked in at them. My brother is taking us around to see everything while we have in going order for a time yet, but we have been walking throughings every day. To-day we went to the Arch de Triumph and standing in the center of it we looked down Champs Elysées, at the end of which can be seen the Tuileries and Louvre, we passed the Chamber of Deputies or Heads of State, and of which is the Palais Bourbon, where the old Bourbon families reigned. The fair is built in the street along the bank principally, something after the bank. and an art style of the Oldit or Honor. The buildings on the Avenue de Sar Alexandra and main buildings are on Champ de Mars and the Place des Invalides. The nations' buildings are grouped along the river bank while the Midway is flocked around the Esplanades and the Gardens of the Trocadero. The fair before the Trocadero. The fair before the principal entrance is on Place de la Concord. The gate or entrance being one of the many master strokes of art and beauty for which this country is renowned. There are three great arched openings to the public about forty feet from the dome, on which is a large artistic steepe. On top of the front arch rises a large capital on which is placed the statue of a woman representing France, most handsomely paired with the rest of the arch. The figure is clothed in a large royal robe and is to represent her welcoming the world to her hospiton. The side arches or entrances have very high ornamental poles to assist in forming a beautiful and agree- able sight to the eyes of the people. As far as I have seen the American building and exhibits will be all right and as to us with the corn demonstration we have the honor of having an annex or building all to ourselves. It will be no need to tell you that Paris is the most beautiful city of the world; able writers have done that already. The house is near, near, near on a level, being seven stories high and four out of every five are built alike, so should one go on the houses for miles and look back at the houses he would always see the same house. The streets are crowded with vehicles every kind and it is as much as you can see on the streets. The tram cars have an upstairs well as down so do the omnibuses. The apartment houses are called hotels and also private mansions. Some of the streets are very narrow, in fact State street is as wide as three of them put together.

Princess Ellah Chavler, Order of the Eastern Star No. 22 gave a grand May party at Kaisers Hall on the 2nd inst., which was a grand affair and all present had a fine time. Prof. A.

We would not be so sure our would-be society people try to spawn waters that out of all the dives which have been pulled not a waist has been found. If the raid had been made earlier in the evening, however, some of our young indies would have found out the character of the man, and we would be keeping, as the station would have been filled with dues in place of "Knights of Labor."
