The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring conquest. 6-It asks no support but the people. MRS. HILDYARD'S CHOICE VOL. 16. NO. 21. UST 4 o'clock and Mrs. Hildayard's drawing room, in spite of sun blinds, was too warm for the finer phase of repose; he had cornered corners in town, as Havers had just remarked. Emerton, who had subsided without resistance into a great armchair, nodded. It was extremely cool, but it was cooler when Havers was not there. The two men were waiting for Mrs. Hildayard. She took a certain innocent delight in allowing people to cool their hair. She gave her a touch of pleasure to the men, waiting. The men always waited; sometimes the women went away. She did not mind that, however. She thought little of other women's opinions of her. From that it may be argued that she was young. Mrs. Hildyard was young, she was four and twenty, and a widow. Her husband had been twice her age-a saturnine, large man, who made great sums of money. They had never been much love between them, but had been a kind of couldd friendship which made the two years of their married life move smoothly. When Hildyard died his widow mourned him sincerely; there was never any question of heartache. But when she was not less genuine because it permitted be perfectly cheerful six months after his death. But at this time she had been a widow for two years, and she considered life a very enthralling and beautiful dish. "It will dwell hot!" Havers said. "Yes, said Emerton, eying the other with.watchful care. "I saw a horse down at Hyde Park corner; the poor brute was clean bowled over by the heat." "It's bad enough weather for men," and Emerson. "It's killing for horses." "Wet at Pettigrew's last night?" asked Havers. "No, I couldn't go; had another engagement." "I expected to see Mrs. Hildyard there." "Ah," she said, Emerton, without turning at him. At that moment Mrs. Hildyard came in. She greeted the two men with nicely balanced cordiality; she appeared glad to see them both, and made no secret of it. When she sat down to dispense tea they roused themselves. "What were you discussing when I came in?" she asked. "Or were you both asleep?" she said, "Havers, "that I expected to see you at the Pettigrews last night." "I had another engagement," she said. The faltest glance of understanding passed between her and Emerton. Havers intercepted it, and then carefully examine the toe of his boot. He sat in the night at the Lyceum was very crowded." he said. "It was," said Mrs. Hildyard. "I was there. My uncle, who is a great first nighter, said he had never seen such a crush before." Again a glance passed between Mrs. Hildyard and Emerton; this time Havaers missed it. "It was," said Mrs. Hildyard. "It's become the right thing to say," said Emerton: "it doesn't do any one any harm." "Don't it strike you as foolish to keep on saying a thing that obviously can't be said?" said Mrs. Hildyard. "No," said Emerton. "Why should it?" The world's too old to relapse into strict truthfulness at this time of day. We're always saying things that obviously can't be said. "Oh, yes, in other matters. I suppose a man never looks at a woman without saying or looking something not quite the truth; it's always a little more or a little less." "That quite true," said Mrs. Hildyard. "Will you have some more tea, Mr. Havaers?" "Don't think it is true," Emerton said. "It depends on your man." "And depends on your Havaers." "In time," said Mrs. Hildyard, "you might both become philosophers." "When a man becomes a philosopher," said Havers, in the slightly sensuous sensuality that always annoyed Mrs. Mildred,yard. "Youth is never philosophical, and what good is wisdom to an old man." "It's a great deal of good," said Mrs. Bindley. "Think of-think of-Herbert Hillary." Havers wavers a decreptery hand. "Herbert Spencer is not a philosopher," he said. Emerton smiled, and in the pause that followed let his eyes rest on Hillary. She certainly the daintest of women, he thought. She had a birdlike pulse ofose, alert and gracious; a complexion that showed the blood as clearly as fine porcelain lattes through the glimmer which makes a man think russet tings which makes a man think orchards and open air. He was not at all sure that Mrs. Hildyard cared greatly for him; his experience of life seemed so much broader than that he could not be sure of his own. He was only a year older than she, so that he had no advantage there. Havers, on the other hand, had had a more varied life. He seen the world under many eyes. He was a great poet, and he had won the confidence of men in high places. And in spite of certain reservations Emerton admired and liked him. "By the way," said Emerton, "I have always been a great teacher. We wednesday. "Die Melsingerst-De Resake, you know. I thought, Mrs. Hildyard, that perhaps you'd like to go." "I should love," said Mrs. Hildyard, "so next Wednesday. You have already seen the Harmarket with me and Col. Oliver," said Havers quietly. The faintest blush rose to Mrs. Hildy- yard's cheeks. "of course!" she said. "Forgive me for forgetting. Then I'm afraid I must miss 'Die Mesteringer' this time, Mr. Emerson. I bowed and played with his cup. He told Havers had scored, and he could not grudge him a temporary victory. "If you are very anxious to hear De Kersmawk how hard he was after a pause, 'pray cancel your engagement with me and go.'" Emerson glanced at him quickly; the man was perfectly sincere. Emerson felt ready to have a generous admiration for him. He consulted his own heart and found that he would not have had so unselfish a regard for his lady's hanness. "Do Reskez will be singing again," he said, "and Mrs. Hildyard can arrange another evening. The Haymarket closes on Thursday; it would be a pity to miss the chance." It cost him an effort to say it, but not look at Mrs. Hildyard as he spoke. "I should not think of breaking my engagement with you!" Mrs. Hildyard said to Havers decidedly. When Emerton left that afternoon he felt distinctly unhappy. He went to his car, had a cold bath, and smoked four cigars. He had no self-conceit, and he felt that on the whole, Havers was a better man than himself. This conclusion decided him to hurry matters, for, although he acknowledged Havers to be the better man, he had no intention to play into his hands. He had no intention to play into the chances lay, not on the knees of the gods, but on the lips of Mrs. Hildyard. Soon after her visitors were gone, and when Mrs. Hildyard's pretty brows were wrinkled with thought, Col. Oliver entered the room. He was Mrs. Hildyard's whisker, who was a man of great comfort and comfortable existence in the not unpleasant task of steering his niece through the shoals of young widowhood. His theory of life was of the simplest—to trust no woman, to look upon every man, to be a friend of all enemies, for diplomatic purposes, as friends. His practice was otherwise, for he trusted all women like a child; he was simple and tender in his friendship, and he had not an enemy in the world. Old men, old women, old lans, and any man might have made love to Mrs. Hildyard under his very nose without his being conscious of it. "Who were your visitors?" he asked. She told him. "They come here pretty often, don't they." Not oftenter than other people." "Ah!" he said. I like 'em both. Havers is clever, Emerton dashed pleasant. I've thought one or twice they were getting rather fond of you. Nelle," he said, not always thinking the most foolish things!" "I don't blame em, dear child. If I were a young man, and not your uncle, I should want to marry you; I'm not sure that you could be trusted more than any other man, but you will probably will marry them might do worse." Mrs. Hildyard was thinking again, and hardly heard what the colonel was saying. "Don't forget," she said, "that on Wednesday we go to the Haymarket with Mr. Havers. And do remember to put on a shirt, not one of those old things you're so fond of." In my day, he grumbled. But if you remind me again on Tuesday I will see about it." "And you might let me have my diamonds for that evening," she said. He opened his eyes and looked at her under the table, but he was too wise to question her. Emerton did not hurry matters, but by Wednesday evening he had worked himself up to such a pitch of excitement that there was nothing for it but to get on the bus. He was racher late, but by good fortune he secured a stall, and took his place in a rapidly-filling house. The orchestra was half through the overture, and before he could discover Mrs. Hilyardy with him, the obedient colonel. He began to feel uncomfortable; perhaps he had repented, after all, and had not come, just as she had escaped from the Pettigrets to go to the Lyceum with him and the obedient colonel. Perhaps he had felt uncomfortable and renew his offer; perhaps by this time she was very angry with him; perhaps she had chosen to put him out of her mind altogether. and he and all of his hopes were to be cast adrift. He was in a muse looking vaguely at a picture; only a detached phrase here or there made any impression on his brain, and when the end of the first act came he was in a museum, and ever, he sat down again, fully alive. Two rows in front of him he had caught sight of Mrs. Hilyardy's beautiful and animated profile; and her left sat Col. Oliver, on her right Haven. An ironic conversation, in the gallery caused her to turn around. She saw Emerton, recognized him with a little book and flicker of the eyelids, and went on talking quietly to Havers. Havers, on his part, was speaking very quietly, and his shoulders indicated effort. At intervals he glanced in his companion like one who wishes covertly to see the effect of a story on his auditor. Emerton felt uncomfortable; he could not hear, but he had rather felt the feeling of an eavesdropper and began to wish he had not come. But he waited to the end of the second act, and then to the end of the third. Mills Hildyard looked particularly brilliant, and then he stood on the throne for the star was strong in him. He was not jealous of Havers; he only enveloped his seat that was all. It was a fair game, and he was prepared to play it aquarily. He wondered how Havers was cultivating his opportunity cleverly, he made no doubt. He resolutely refused to watch them, and succeeded in getting a faint impression of what the fourth act was about. As the theater emptied, he managed to reach Mrs. Hildyard's side. I thought you were going to Covent garden," she said. "So I was," he said, "if you had been able to go," I came where I could see you." "If you were so anxious to see me," she said, "you might have called." "I'm coming to see you to-morrow morning," he said. "And I thought enough you had decided about it long ago." "So I did. I decided three days ago." "Why to-morrow particularly?" "For an unimportant reason," he said, "but it pleased my conscience. Good night." He nodded to Havers and Col. Oliver and slipped away. He called on Mrs. Hilyard. He assured himself that he was perfectly cool—and so he was until his hand was on the knocker; he went to pieces. The collapse was so unexpected that he incontinently thought of flight. That, however, being impossible, he was nervous between the front door and the back door. This he did by the net unseen then or THE APPEAL. CLARK OF MONTANA FROM GOV.

For a time the careful reserve of Mrs. Hildyard's demeanor kept him in strangling check; but all at once his discretion snapped like a dry twig. "I can't keep it any longer!" he blurted in love. You love it. If you me to go away, I will not in not in the least clever; but if you only in the least clever, I'll." He broke off. There was a most becoming moisture in Mrs. Hildyard's eyes; her hair had a tremulous softness make Emerton suddenly look up. "I'll be a man for you, or make a name for me. Do you think I should love you any better if you did? I will marry you-as you are." She rose as she spoke, and Emerton sped him. And had her in his arms before he could speak a word. His victory had been so easy that it dazed him. To possess the desired a heart was almost too rich a concession. The shocked wet-wet with the happiest tears. "Last night," said Emerton said a little later, as they sat hand in hand like children, as I was watching you I thought you could be a terrible thing it would be to lose you-to know that you would never come any nearer to me." "You mustn't think about such things any more. Here is Col. Oliver. Tell him later. In the day Emerton met Haven. The latter was rather downcast, but he welcomed the other quite cordially. Emerton that he was engaged to Mrs. Hilldayard. "It was it." Havers said. "I proposed to her myself last night, and was refused. It was at the end of the second act." "Poor old chap!" Emerton said. "I'm worried." "I shall get over it," Havers said, a little weary. "I gave you a fair chance, didn't I?" RELEASE THE PRO naked Emerton, eagerly. "I never saw her after that afternoon last week. I guessed how things were going, and I knew how much I had to wait to-day. If you had won last night—" "But I didn't. Thank you, though, for doing what you did. It was generous of you, and I would have done it. I would have done the same. I ask you to believe that, although the chance never came." "I do believe it." They shook hands and laughed. He wove in best he might, and Emerton to walk on air. But the more Emerton thought of his defeated rival the more he liked him, and the conviction grew that he was a man. Charles Kennett Burrow in the Sketch. The Generally Accepted Emblem Originated by a Union Officer. Of course, the wear the button of the Confederate Veterans' association very few know that the design on the button was first drawn by a Union officer. The destroyer, who is well known here as a lace scape artist and illustrator, and he drew the original design without any idea that it would ever be officially adopted by the Navy, is how the matter came about, as Lester Shurff told the story: A few days before the first battle of Bull Run he was sent out on a scouting expedition with a small party of men of the Naval brigade, Ninety-ninth New York Coast guard, in which organization he was sent. He was to make a report on the "Very likely not," agreed the other, but this isn't anything that you need trouble your conscience about. Gen. Baumgartner's little daughter is a great "I wonder if you could design a sort of patriotic emblem for me," I said. "I want to show you some amusing, "I suspect that your idea and amuse of what a patriotic emblem is wouldn't At that time the Confederates were not well turned with prison quarters for captives.

Biff weak from the affliction, wounds he was unable to talk about while lying on his cot in making drawings for his own amusement and for the officers' education of the soldiers. The officers got bows and ballets for him, and he made up to them. One day one of the officers who had been very kind to him came to his cot and said: million of the country in front of the Union chum of him and I promised her I'd up some sort of a painting of a Confederate flag for her to hang on the wall. I've been trying to think up something, as a designer I'm no use. So it occurred to me that you might help out "me." The军官 could help you to aid him as soon as the woman to him Richmond where he had the hospital care. "Why, of course, I'll be glad to do what I can," said Lieut. Shurffle. "Give me a CLARK OF MONTANA FROM GOV. SMITH OF MONTANA OVERBIAL NINE-LIVED PGLIT few days' time and I'll get something done in water, colors." done in water colors." Giving out his paints he set to work to paint his paintings with the aid of the artist, became deeply absorbed in the matter of the design, working all that day and getting up early the next morning to continue the task, discarding one of his paintings. He designed a design that suited him. This was the St. Andrew's cross in blue on a 'red ground, with minor ornamentations of stars. He finished it up handsofmly in water colors and turned it over to his wife, who was sitting with it and brought back word that little Miss Beauregard was highly delighted and was going to implore her father to let the Yankee gentleman who had made him a captain of the Navy Shurtleff was transferred to Liberty prison, and in 1823 was exchanged. He forgot about the design for the time. A year or so later it was called to his attention and he purchased a furnished Confederate battle flag consisting of his design almost exactly as he had painted it. Still later he saw an official flag of the Confederate States of America for his design, for it formed the entire corner of the ensign. Naturally the artist was not pleased with his friend, the Confederate officer, who had put him in the position to design flags for the enemies of his country. From what he has learned since, however, Liseut. Shurtleff is inclined to be. He seems to be. It seems that Gun. Beaugrard saw the painting which had been given to his daughter, and on an evening he about it was taken to the studio, and belonged to her personally.

Shurftief decided the close of the war the Southern Associations of Veterans adopted the original flag for their button, and all the Confederates used now wear that design with some slight modifications or additions. Meantime Shurftief would be interested in finding out the exact color of the adoption of his water color as the basis for the national flag of the Confederacy was brought about. There is probably no doubt that he could enlighten him, but he doesn't know where to come at the information. New York Sun McMullen's Queen Accident.

He had story related about the accident by the Hutchinson News: "McMullen stopped at the at wringer and held his hands over to dry them. He got one hand too low to dry them.

Mississippi river traveler, who was in New York a few days ago looking after business interests which became important, could enable him to retire, some years ago. He was in the party I was in that night; he continued, "really cared about telling our experience after we learned how tragical the fire was that day," and this particular story has ever been told." Harvey was one of four veteran sports who sat in a back room umpiring slipping their whisky and water, and smoking cigars as they talked over the adventures of their earlier days. The talk had drifted with the insinuations of the poker table, as it often did, and the three stirring tales. Harvey mentioned the famous fire There were five of us playing poker that night, he said, "in a room on the fourth floor of the hotel, where we had pet by appointment, for the game had been a fight, and was to be a fight to the finish, with more or less bad blood between two of the players. This feeling which we all knew was liable to break in on a fight, was to be intensified by the circumstances of a game in which we had all played three weeks before on one of the river packets between Memphis and Natchez. Card playing on the river, even when it was intensified by the scandal of the great games and of the occasional tragedies that followed them had made many of the stealthy capitals careful. Still there was considerable playing and occasionally a stiff fight, and one of the greatest spokes of "I had gone down the river with Charlie Upton, who was a speculator in almost anything, from a cotton crop to a monkey flush, but who was never a professional. There was on the boat, however, and the regular man, the registrar, the军官, who followed no other industry but card playing, and spent most of his time on the boats. I played then, as often as I had time and opportunity, and we had one or two sittings before the Memphis Hopkins who followed travelers who had no heavy play. At Memphis," says the narrator, as reported in the New York Sun, "the twoe get off and Maurice Jennings and Peggie Hopkins got on the boat. Jennings was in town very well. He had just sold some property in Memphis, as I learned afterward, and had considerable money with him. Hopkins was a gambler whom I had never seen before. I had never seen him, and Peggie who was not above suspicion, though he had never, so far as I know, been caught in an crooked play. For that matter, there wasn't a professional on the river who was above suspicion, so he stood at the fraternity house, and on account of Jennings having the roll with him, for the Jennings keep the roll of such things, and Jennings was known as a heavy player from Memphis to New Orleans. Hopkins' nickname comes from being a leg shy, and I suppose likely it was so. "Harris and Hopkins, as I learned afterward, had had trouble some time before about a boy who played fast and loose ended to a girl about each other at sight. Before there had been any shooting done, however, she had gone down the river with a third man, and I suppose neither that neither one could. That neither one could get. There was sufficient hatred between them, however, to keep them from playing into each other's hands at poker, which was probably doubt if any one of us would have stayed out of the game that followed, even if we had suspected them. We were all brash enough to take our chances with any one of us, but we were all good players. How do I know they didn't stand in? Well, perhaps I don't know it, but I don't think they did, and the subsequent proceedings seemed to be very well planned. I really joined me when he came on board, and as Hopkins really had an acquaintance with him, it was not strange that we five sat down together that night. We ended up there were cards and chips on the table. "That game lasted all night, and the climax came just as the negroes came into the main saloon, where we sat, to prepare the tables for breakfast. We went to the saloon, and which lasted stakes, they call it nowadays—and each man had fassed a thousand at the start. I dropped the last of mine about midnight, and I which lasted me through, and I which lasted loser. Upton won about two thousand, He was hucky at most things, but he wasn't in the big fights of that game, his priests were small compared with those in the big fights, who dropped all he had, which was about five thousand, and Harris won over twenty thousand, leaving Jennings the big loser with a sixteen-thousand-dollar hole in his own capital, and the play which had intensified the hatred between the two gamblers. Hopkins had followed Jennings in the hope of setting away with his money, and to his own capital also in the struggle, enough to soray any man. It was evident, too, that Harris had done all he could to weaken Hopkins' play by aggravating his own capital, by peppering fellow and once or twice I thought he had break, out, and perhaps shoot, but he himself in hand, though the gleam of his eyes told that he was angry, which was not the case, he said nothing, however, even when Hopkins on his left, ostentatiously counted the cards twice after Hopkins had dealt. Of course, it is any player's right to count how it was done showed that Hopkins trying to instigate a doubt as to whether Hopkins was holding out. It was a square game, though, and no phenomenal success, but Jennings was perfectly satisfied that his hatred was of bad luck, and so were Upton and I. What the two gamblers thought, of course I don't know, but there was not nothing contrary, and when Jennings and Hopkins knew that it was with the understanding, they should meet at St. Louis later, as we did, for another set-to. *Naturally, we were all prepared for $2.40 PER YEAR. "Upton was the first to open his wallet, he played a flush against a full that he caught on a three-card draw, and trailed him. Jennings himself was badly beaten on another full soon after, and he produced a roll in turn. We all followed Hopkins, and the play got heavier right the second time, and it thousand on the table, and it was fifty to play each time. Such a game as that is likely to break a bank, and if any one of had grown careless he would have gone to jail. But longer we played the closer we watched one another, and if any bluff was done the bluffer was not caught. The cards were not was not often that two extra good hands were played and playing to the real value of the cards as we did mostly, we all kept alive for an astonishing time. I, for one, was beaten and felt the strain so much that I was drawing of drawing out when the end came. "There was a jackpot, and the deal had gone around twice before it was opened, in the pot when it over five hundred in the pot when I拿到了 a strong enough hand for me to want competitors, so I opened it for five hundred. To my disgust Jennings, Harris had taken it over five hundred, boosted it five hundred. I stayed with reluctance. Jennings dropped out, with a pair of nines, as he afterward told me, "I was going to win the struggle. Upton was dealing. I drew to the strength of my hand. Harris took one and Hopkins patod put it. He was a hard preposition. I looked at my draw and I saw it. I was one one chip. Harris, knowing that Hopkins would raise, also 'chipped. Hopkins pushed out a chip and a $200 note, and just then somebody in the house-I was yelled "Fier!" "None of us moved, but the darkly hooted for the door and disappeared. We never saw him again. I skimmed my hand over to make sure that it was not a knife, but a fork, in his hand, or pretended to, for a little, and then raised five hundred. Hopkins came back at him with a thousand more, and we knew the fight of the game was on. Harris raised it a thousand after a little change, and Hopkins came back at him once more. "By this time there was an uproar in the house, and we could hear shouts and confusion from the street also, but none of us stirred. I felt uneasy, and thought to myself that I was a fool to sit still, and I was a fool to stand still, me, and I was determined to see the hand played out. Upton and Jennings both told me later that they had the same thought. Before Harris made his next play there was a pounding on the door and some people were shouting and fire. There was a spring lock on the and the outside couldn't open the door, but he tried the knob and shouted loud enough to wake the dead. Still, strange as it seems, we sat still. It would only be a small change, we thought, to set the hand. "Harris called and then threw down a jack full on seven. One of the sevens was a club. Hopkins showed an eight hand, and he was the one. We were all rising from the table, when Hopkins, with a lightning-like movement, seized the deck and throwing it on the table face up, spread the cards with the hand and picked out a seven of clubs. "You held out that seven," he said with an oath, and pulling his revolver into the hand and reached for the money with his left. "Harris was even quicker than he. His hand was still, and as Hopkins lifted his he fell back, he ran. Then, pocketing the money, the door for the door. "It was high time to go. The room was already filling with smoke. Jennings and I both ran, and the murderer, but he still had his revolver in his hand, and as he raised it we both realized that there was no time for a gun. Upon had turned to Hopkins and found a dead, or at least that he seemed to be." "I reckon it's time to look out for ourselves," said Jennings, and we rushed out, following Harris, who had gone already, and got out I don't know. I have a confused face, and I smoke and down stairs; then of more stairs, and finally of jumping from a window somewhere. I broke my knee and fainted and came to in a hospital. When Jennings and Upton came around, they said that Harris' body had been identified, that he had been found in the half-burned clothes that still hung to him. When the bills had been burned or stolen with the gold there was no telling. Neither could any one have identified Harris had held out a card, or whether Harris had had the duplication seven of clubs. As both men were dead we concluded it was not worth while to tell the story."

THE APPEAL, St Paul Minn. Evidently the fool killer hasn't visited New York City recently as Bourke Cochran and Rev. (?) Henry Frank are still alive. At Montgomery, Ala., recently, Cochran advocated the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment and now Frank says: "The most deplorable social situation which a civilized and intelligent people has ever deliberately brought upon itself is witnessed today in the relation of the Southern Negro to his environment. His native sluggishness, his imperceptible improvement since liberation, his startling lapse into barbarism, all must incline thinking people to conclude that the freeing of the Negro has proved a disastrous failure. A country should be set apart to which all Negroes would be permitted voluntarily to migrate and there yield themselves as slaves to such persons as would agree to possess them, give them humane treatment and education." Don't all speak at once, but let's see how many will thus "voluntarily migrate?" And now another solution, of two problems, Gen. A. G. Greenwood, sol- RICHARD YATES Republican Candidate for Governor of Illinois.

He would solve both by sending the Afro-Americans to the Philippines. Gen. Greenwood affirms they would be glad to go, that the climate is admirably suited to them and that they and the Filipinos would soon fraternize and mingle, while the education the Afro-Americans have received in this country would enable them to become rich and influential in the East. every attack of the Colonel should lose to work upon the exe the Courier-Journal s With coffee down pound, as against n 1895, there has not be in the cost of this brury under President ministration. Dispatches from Augusta, Ga., tell us that "grave disturbances will develop as a consequence of the appointment of eleven Afro-American men and three Afro-American women as census enumerators.

If it is always some "law-abiding" Southerner who is ready to trample the law under foot. Every newspaper editor in the United States who desires to study facts in relation to the prosperity and panic periods of the country should secure copies of the speeches delivered in the House of Representatives May 3, 1900, by Hon.

The democratic papers are urging the Boers to emigrate to America. The St. Louis-Globe Democrat says they will be welcome, but advises them to allow the names of their towns to remain at home. We suggest that they also leave on the dark continent their ideas about the treatment of Negroes. Genl. Cronje and his brother Boers at St. Helena are very much disgusted because black soldiers have been set to keep guard over them. It is a fitting retribution for the Negro-hating people who have heaped wrongs upon the defenceless natives because they were black.

Booker Washington's fame is beginning to rest on a solid foundation. The patent medicine man now uses his portrait in an after-taking ad. The Democratic platform-makers will soon be making room for a little sympathy for the Sultan of Turkey. Mr. W. A. Gaines, of Lexington, Ky., has been elected delegate at large to the Philadelphia convention. THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY OF AMERICA WEST BROOK, NY 10470 HOW THIS NOTED GAME TO BE WRITTEN. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Author, Said in the Last Days of her Eventual Life, "God Wrote it. I Merely did his Dictation. If there is anything in foreordination Harriet Beecher Stowe was predestined to write "Uncle Tom's Cabin." She did not intend to do it. She said that "For many years of her life, she avoided all reading upon or allusion to the subject of slavery." But in Cincinnati it was thrust upon her at every turn. An incident which increased her interest in the problem of freedom was the coming to Walnut Hills of a family from the far South, who for conscience sake had separated themselves from the associations of their lifetime and sought a home in the then unbroken forests on the banks of the Ohio. Here the Ticheners and Overakers, members of aristocratic English descent, for themselves a home in the southern style, dared those really dual estates of which so many now crown the banks of the Ohio and the crests of Cincinnati's hills. This family brought with them a retinue of house servants in order to set them free. They were scattered among the various families of this lovely vicinity, some being employed at one time or another in Professor B. and some in that of his next neighbor, a profane in the seminary. One of these neighbors has said that she has seen Mrs. Stowe sit whole afternoons watching the children of the two families and the young blacks at play. It was then and there' that Mrs. Stowe saw Topsy and took her conical likeness in unfading colors. Topsy was a stray bit of ebony humanity that, in some unrecorded way, came to be one of the children perched on the porticos of the Overaker mansion in New Orleans, where the family had a home, or hung around the university, or played with the dogs on the Tichene campus at Natchez. She was such a little imp of darkness that "that limb was past saving'" and so she was left among the field hands, who were to work out HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, their freedom there on the plantation at Natzche. But the case of the abandoned wail appealed to the sympathy of Mrs. Stowe's neighbor, and the elfish Topsy was brought North and placed in the family of the young professor to be trained for service. It must be confessed that the effort to develop her into a reasonable being was not a shining success. Joan-for that was her real name—drifted into the abandoned stratum of Cincinnati life, and was seen no more by her former friends till the day of Mrs. Tich-berkelman. Black Sam, also he, of the "observeration faculty," was at service in the same hall, but he will be best remembered by the set putting the beechnut under Halley's saddle when they were about to start after Eliza. Others of the small fry named were members of the same groun. It was at Walnut Hills also that Mrs. Stowe knew the original of "Ucle Pete" in "Dred," or Nina Gordon, as it was afterwards called. He was then an old man, known as "Colored Williams," and he certainly was of as "fellow fashion," and deepest a black dye as mortal flesh. He could take a faithful old soul who took care of the Peyton children and always spoke of himself and them as "We Peyton folks," so this devoted retainer of the professors' families for odd jobs always spoke of himself and them as "we seminary folks." Peace to his gates! He died a few years ago, Walnut Hills, aged it, was sold, 112 years. In 1850 Dr. Stowe had accepted a professorship at Bowdin, and was living in Brunswick when the fugitive slave law of that year was passed. This was the final fire which set the colors of Mrs. Stowe's resolution to write something "which should hold up to the world as a dramatic reality." She chose a form of a story, knowing well that Not for fame's sake did she write, but that she might execute the commission which the Divine Gulde, by the nature of her genius and culture and by the circumstances of her life. HON. ROBERT SMALLS. Ex-congressman from South Carolina. Congress has just passed a bill to pay him $3,000 for his capture of the Confederate steamer Planter of Charleston during the slaveholder's rebellion. had laid upon her. The intense absorption of her theme held her away from every other interest, for circumstances were never less favorable to the execution of a great work. She was then in the midst of heavy domestic cares, with a young infant, and with a party of pupils in her family to whom she was imparting lessons daily with her own children, but the reality was so much more intense a reality than the other earthly thing that the weekly浸習 was about. Dr. Bailey's National Era never failed. Once Mr. Jewett, who was to publish it, wrote to ask her not to make it too long, as the subject was not a popular one. Mrs. Stowe replied that she did not make the story, that the story ```markdown ``` made itself, and that she could not stop till it was done. This feeling increased in intensity to the end. It is even said that in these last days of her life she has said, "God wrote it. I merely did His dictation." -Eleanor P. Allen in Lippincott's.

It is of the utmost importance 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 at once to the census 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.

M.iles, the oldest employee of the Planktonin J. house, celebrates his twenty fourth anniversary of head water of the main dining room today. Many perous congratulated Mr. Miles for having his position since his position so long and with so many creations and players. Some persons may desire to know whether there is another head water who has held his position so long. It is stated that there are a few where they worked for hotel proprietors, not only for the employees, but for those more appreciate the value of the employee more than the staff and stewards. It is a custom for managers and stewards, when taking charge of a house, to dismiss all servants to make room for their friends and house showers. The managers of the Planktonin house have shown that the successful hotel man, Mr. Miles says that each man is Potter Palmer, John B. Drake in his day, and Messrs. Whitebeck and Chitten, and in fact no successful hotel men allowed the heads of the hotel to work. The manager changed if they were competent. Mr. Miles says that the successful hotel at Chicago 19, 1876, to work for H. B. Sherman, who was then proprietor of the Planktonin. When Mr. Miles leaves the Planktonin he will return to Chicago to spend the remainder of his life, where he ten years before coming to Wisconsin. He was a friend of Mr. Miles and assisted him in many ways of the employee from the humbest servant to the highest official he treated him with the greatest kindness since he was born at the hotel, and that he has made some very special friends with the greatest from all over the country. As there are none so weak that we may venture to injure them with impunity, so there are none so low that we may have no time able to be able to repay an obligation. Therefore, what benevolence would dictate, prudence would confirm—Colton. The Roentgen rays are proving their value in field surgery in South Africa. A fresh equipment of apparatus has been ordered, and skilled operators are being sent to the front. An interesting experiment is to be tried shortly on the Leeds and Liverpool pools, in the substitution of an electric power for the horse now used for traction purposes. The work of opening and closing locks and of operating sluices is also to be done by electrical power. A burglar has been caught in London, and, according to the English Electrical Engineer, among his implements of trade was found a portable electric light set. It was undoubtedly intended to be used in his business, and be easily switched on and off, and there would be an entire absence of color. ST. PAUL JOHN N.
