EAGER THOUSANDS STORM THE PARIS FAIR VOL.16.NO.22. Paris, Special Correspondence, May 4-Ready or not ready, the great expedition had to be unveiled to the world. Early in its unfinished state it has proved a stupendous success from the very start. Some buildings still need more attention than others, and will be as the architect designed they should, and many spaces altered to exhibits yawn at the visitors with an aching look looking to remain unfulfilled. But with shortcomings, for the ensemble is so magnificent, so completely satisfying in its huge splendor that the presence of the museum and the absence of exhibits overlooked. Already the public are beginning to show preferences for this and that building. Many ask at once for the great area on the Bols de Vincennes, where 300 acres of land are used as an annex for the exhibition of railways, as an exhibition of stock, automobiles, engines, windmills and the new and improved agricultural machinery that the United States have brought to the fair to excite the wonder of the farmers. In this great reality, really one of the main parts of the exhibition and deserving of a more dignified title than that of "annex," the grand military and naval displays and the processes of boats on the lake will take place and all athletic events in the city will be held. Humanity and those interested in sports in a condition of intense excitement will be pulled off and laurels torn from the brows of world's champions to find a resting place on the heads of apathetic people, to present unknown, and whose names are figured in record-breaking achievements. Other sections of the fair are "interesting," some are beautiful, even marvelous in their beauty, but if excitement is the main event, then the excitement, then the anxex on the Bois de Vincennes is the place to look for it. Ancient Greece in the palmest days of her glory never witnessed a sight to equal the world in competition. The records of the ancients will be knocked silly and the song of the cynic who sang that human Olympian games will have to change his tune, for no youth of Athens, could he return to earth to participate in the athletic events of the Paris fair, would stand among the trained champions who have made record-breaking so common an occurrence that one wonders when this direction is over going to be reached A building that is being singled out as a favorite one by the visitors is that of the fine arts, which rears its huge shape on the beautiful new avenue that has been opened from the Champs Elysees to the south of the city, the beauty of the approach rather than the attractions of the fine arts structure temps people thither, for the great broad avenue leading from the Champs Elysees to a flower gardens and fine buildings. From this point it seems that the line of travel sets towards the pavilions of the various nations, conspicuous among them the British, the French, which I have described at length in my former letters. It would seem that the first sight of a foreign exhibit sets every one thinking of "home." From the thoughts of Paris and the city of a link between Paris and the courtyard of home lies a natural transition and forthwith the visitor makes a bee line for the pavilion over which his flag lines, there to meet those who speak his tongue, own the city, and to see the same constitution. These foreign buildings are cities of refuge to those who are unsuited to the hubbub of a great gathering and who speedily become beakers of soups, sounds and the babel of tongues. The pavilions of the United States and Great Britain are without doubt the finest in the line as regards architecture, decorations and furnishing, and Americans here are eager to build over which Old Glory floats. Only a very short distance from the American building is the pavilion where the Austrians gather. It has not yet been built, and there is more than passing notice, both because of its peculiarly interesting architecture and of the exhibits that are to be seen there. The building is constructed in Marie Theresse style, and the architecture of the palace of Princess Bugene' and of the Vienna university. A good deal of Austrian pride is centered in the exhibition. The exhibition will show the progress made Austrians during the past 900 years, and the improvements in the post system, which Austrians claim to have mostly originated in the past 900 years, will be on view in proof of the assertions which, it goes without saying, will be challenged. A merry little war is in prospective in this building. The Austrians have claimed the duplex telegraph system in the Austrian capital, and the manual on the post card and the pneumatic tube for the quick delivery of mail. Later other claimants will come forward to dispute these Austrian claims, and the case will be called upon to settle the controversy. Passing from the discussion of building to that of events, the purely amusing features of the fair are being rapidly inaugurated, and Turks and Arabs, howling and whirling dervishes, Chinese and Japanese nondescripts, Persian and Hindoo scholars, and; red, yellow and white mystics, in drab ibis and exchange opinions in Arabic, and in Persian, heilsible gestures that might mean either admiration or contempt. It is fully as interesting, if not more so, to study the people as to study the buildings and exhibits. Never was such a curious gatherer, so curious of curious of the races within one room, that constitutes the human exhibt of this most astonishing of fairs. Although the majority of Queen Victoria's photographs convey the impression of sadness, severity and profound suffering, she is also known to sign in the old world who possesses a more keen sense of the ludicrous, or who is more easy moved to laughter. It is appreciation of human suffering in everything, "to handle bar to bar to daveo so much atten- tion to that branch of the press known as "the comic papers," of which she is the author of the book *The Political amusement from caricatures of a political character relating to her own consular affairs at home and to Kinskof abroad.* A aware of this fad of her majesty, each English statesman who has held cabent the position of a point of keeping her supplied with all the caricatures that have appeared of her paper. They are sent to the queen from time to time in the form of scrap books of a certain pattern, and inasmuch as her accession to the throne has since her accession to the throne has followed this practice, it will readily be understood that the complete and unique collection of the political characters of the Victorian era are invaluable corollary to the history of the present century, much in the same way as in a minor degree. It is therefore enable one to understand many things in connection with the reign of King George IV, and otherwise recompensible. In England political cartoons do not merely follow the opinion of the public, but also reinforce the notions of tonishing influence upon the course of events. A cartoon in the pages of *The Times* shows the new defiance to its flood the tide of popular sentiment; while it was the appearance of a wonderfully animated new defiance "Tomahawk" showing the crown close by under a glass case, all covered up by his wife, the king, on the glass case, and the queen behind him on a lower step of the daisy wiping away the blood of his husband, on the husband, that served to recover the sovereign to herself, and to remind her that the nursing of her grief and the extreme suffering she suffered tailed beginning to give offence to her subjects and the obligations of royals.

The illustration shows the ship's armament. HIS paper now presents for the first time in this city a full portraital of what is known as the superposed turret which is coming so much into prominence in the armaments of battleships in the United States which will cause a revolution in naval architecture all over the world. Pains have been taken to make the picture so clear that any one can understand the system by which these terrible weapons are manipulated, and the diagrams will help the crew to bend what really takes place on board the warships when the deadly volleys are pouring their dreaded contents into the enemy's craft.

The current of the Keararra is such that from her broadsides projectiles weighing 55,000 pounds can be discharged every fifteen minutes, and it is from experiments made with the turrets of this vessel that the most important deductions have been made. The newest ideas have been put into operation and a great many of the earlier notions regarding turrets have been disposed of. The Keararra is fitted with two complete eight-inch turrets, protected with fifteen-inch turrets, and a vessel the handling room, shell rooms, magazines and operating machinery have been eliminated altogether, for the purposely simplifying the system pursued in the experiments. In Oregon, earlier vessels of her type. It is also claimed that the lessening of the size of the turrets makes it a more difficult target for the equymen's gunners to hit successfully, and thus increases safety. The main battery of the Kearar sarges consist of fourteen five-linch rapid fire guns and twenty six-pounders, supplemented by eight automatic one-pounders and six millimeter guns in the tops, and eight promptly silence any battlefield afloat. By the arrangements of the guns one man can train four guns, his duty consisting entirely of keeping the target on precisely as directed. Each gun has an independent pointer who looks only after the target, and the gun fires differently according to the desire of the officer commanding the turret. The turrets are capable of revolving once a minute so that in case a couple or more vessels might attack, the heavier guns could be used upon the most powerful ones while that the smaller ones could be reserved for the less important foe.

While the men in the turret are busy getting the bead on the enemy's most spots and the deadly missiles are being fired, a tidy photograph of them are discharged the men below in the magazine are just as busy sending upstairs through the hoist the necessary material for the battery. In the opinion of the magazine there is no vessel affect which could be caused by the superposed turrets of the Kearsargreve for very long.

The 12-inch guns of the latter are disposed in *pairs* in single turrets. for hire and aft line of the ship, while the 8-inch are protected by the armored fort placed amidships between the main turrets. The disadvantage of this arrangement compared with the disposition of the turrets of the Kearsarge is that the 8-inch concentrate an attack from the armament of one vessel as the blast of the 8-inch guns affects the crew in the lower turret.

It is proposed to increase the number of turrets to four for this battlefield, placing the equipment already aboard at the front of the battlefield, and others in the two corners aft. This would secure a general disposition of the armament which would make the Pennsylvania a terrific enemy to enveloping the enemy, placed in superposed turrets put in ordinary ones and the turrets placed amidships, others suggest the building of sponsons so as to afford better sighting.

John Ingram, chaplein in her majesty's army, writes from Bloemfontein the details of a remarkable fight which was as dangerous and exciting as any battle waged by Britons and Boers on that blood-stained veldt. Here is his story: "My friend, the Rev. Mr. Crawdson, of the town's Christian association, and I determined to visit some soldiers' graves eight or nine miles distant. It was a terrible tramp across the hot, sizzling, sandy veldt—a lonely, tryling walk, and a sad sight at the end of it. The last rough resting place of a score of brave stones plumed upon the mudy upturned earth where they had been hurriedly buried. "Soon after noon we saw a big ostrich, a male bird, stalking rapidly toward us. It had evidently seen us from its next, where it was sitting, and probably thought it was a bird's eggs, or it may have been with its brood of fledglings. As it sailed along it was not difficult to see that the big bird was in a frenzy of rage. It sped like the wind, leaving a cloud of dust in its mouth, within three minutes it was close upon. "We stood as it approached, silent and amazed, not knowing what to do, and I noticed that its body towered high above me." "When the ostrich reached a potato, a dozen paces from me it stopped and whirled around, flapping its huge wings. Crewman quietly produced his pocketknife and opened the largest blade as the horrible thing went circling around us, getting nearer and nearer each moment. I was surprised that strange as he whispered that if it came to close quarters our only chance would be to spring up and attack it in the neck. I was wondering: how I should do this, for all I held in my hands was a pair of field glasses, but I replied. All right, only let us keep together. I stood and looked down heme heard me, it is certain that at that moment he turned and walked a few paces away. I felt that to separate or to take our eyes off the brute meant to be attacked, so I commenced to walk backward, but the bird no sooner heard me than my comrade than it dashed at me like a whirlwind. "For a second I was transfixed with horror. Death seemed certain, and though, as it were, I mentally sad adieu to life, instinet impelled me to drop my knee. I was afraid to put it on me, in which case it would have peeked my eyes out and struck me with its gigantic claws, probably tearing my chest open, I sprang to meet it. We met with a thaw ... seemed to be a good thing, with both hands I had grasped its neck before it could lift a tool to strike, and together we rolled over in the sand. "For a time I was sensible only of a fierce struggle as with a demon, and I was afraid to break the bones to splinterers were rained upon my legs. Still, with the strength of desperation I clung on with both hands to the sneewy neck and gazed fascinated at the horny head I expected each moment to boot forward and bury its feet." "It seemed an age, though it was in reality perhaps less than two minutes, before I found that I had wriggled onto its back, so that it came out of the air. I only got short arm" blows-brushes instead of wounds. Mr. Crewson, who had rushed back, not knowing whether I was dead or alive, when he saw the situation, tried to cut the bird's guilt and threw with both hands in an exert to strangle it and rolling about endowing to avoid its terrible kicks and scratches. "Crewson was nervous and could not resist, but he feared to enter the zone of the cyclonic struggle, but I reached out with my left hand, still holding the bird's neck with my right, and grabbing the knife with all my strength. I thrust the blade under the bird's uplift, took effect and the wing seemed to lose out, but the blade of the knife was broken off. "I threw the knife away and Crewson cooped another blade; and as I again cooped it oarls by both hands he convinced to throw it out of the blood flowed in showers in all directions as the bird gave a last awful struggle, and I feared that I should be kicked to the ground. We had to effort to overcome the monster and gradually his struggles became more feeble. The blood was streaming over me in torrents, but it was the life blood of the monster. We had to lose my grip and climb out of danger. "Even when we thought the bird was dead it made a wild attempt to rise and attack, but we had fractured a Kaffle's skull. Then all was over. I fell back on the veldt and lay for many minutes in a dead faint. Covered with dirt and blood we plucked the bird and threw it into the souvenirs of the battle, thanked God for our lives and trumped back to Arundel, where we were told that in ninety-nine hours a male attacker by a male mastiff would not have lived to the tell." The facts concerning the great age of Abraham E. Ulmer, of Ulmer, N. Y. who is in his 110th year, his habits and his knowledge, are that he was born on 22. New York city, Dr. Edsa, who already was somewhat familiar with the age of Mr. Elmer, reviewed the case as follows: "natural life of man, deduced from physical law, is one hundred years. According to Floren't law the life of a warm blooded animal is five times the period it takes its bones to harden. The age of man harden at twenty years, which is the same as the age of one hundred years, an age he rarely attains, because of the artificial conditions in which he lives. It is possible that he would probably not die before his aloned time. Now his life lease largely depends on his vocation; that of a physician being forty-six years, which is largely the severity and hardships of his calling. ```markdown ``` $2.40 PER YEAR. The case of Abraham E. Elmer, who has reached the age of 118 years, is interesting. The Metschkoffnij discovery might be useful in further prolonging his life, but M. Metschkoffnij does not divulge it. There are many instances of longevity on record. Probably the most remarkable was that of John Parr, who was over 150 years of age when he died. He was a young indigo dye maker, an acute indigoation from overacting at a dinner given in his honor. Parr's vitality was remarkable. He married his second wife when he was 128 years old. He bore bears more on this subject than the other women he knew, and he died. His reason for death is that we are formed of an infinite number of minute cells which are out of their environment, and which were intended to be dead. If these cells were in an ideal environment they would exist indefinitely. It is a complex theory and difficult to understand. We start with the lower forms or life, the protozoa, a unicellular organism, which never dies. It is practically immortal. The original cell disappears and two cells are born of it, but the original cell does not die, because there is no corpse. The original cell is become four cells, these again eight, which again become sixteen, and so on in infinitive so long as they are in an environment which is their ideal. But the human body is made up of cells, and so the cells are out of their natural place, and for the son they deteriorate and the death of the body ensues. The life of man depends entirely upon the start he gets. We may liken his life to an arrow shot from a bow. The height of the arrow is the amount of force imparted to the string of the bow at the time the arrow leaves it. There has been a great deal said about the "curve" of life. There is a certain height of the curve at at his best; the top of the curve, just as the fact of fact, like the arrow, man begins to die at the moment he starts. In other words, his velocity decreases from the moment he is ushered upon the earth, and goes slower and slower until he begins to drop. There may be many things It is not a question as to whereby he may increase his original velocity; he may be given a velocity which will carry him to a higher speed, and he may increase it. He may cut his flight short by not avoiding certain dangers. He may retard his flight by certain abuses of the good things of life, such as to protect himself from contagious diseases or accidents. Anything that would take him off before his allotted time may be called an accident, such as contagious diseases or disease of any kind. He may not live any time after he reaches forty years of age. In that time he may have worn himself out. The period of time he lives does not extend to the end of his life. He may at 113 years, be a much younger man than another at sixty or seventy. No one who knows the effect of tobacco or spirituous liquors can hold that man longer than he does without their life use would have been prolonged. Of course, the fact that a man may live as long as he has with the continual use of tobacco and alcohol shows that he has been used to much harm. I should say, however, that the fact that Mr. Elmer has lived to his present age is a proof that he has never used them to excess, or of an amount that would be an excess in his What might be excess in one man would be moderation in another. No two of us are exactly alike. As no two of us look the same, we are not likely to resemble each other. It is, therefore, rash to draw conclusions of any sort with regard to individuals. That Mr. Elmer should live to be 183 years old, we know that certain families have the habit of longevity. Statistics prove that nearly all the members of a certain family will die in their lifetimes, and member after member will die. We know that doctors recognize this, and therefore longevity is called a "habit." Heredity plays a large part in the age habit of families. I should judge that a person who is well balanced mind. Life at its best is beset with pitfalls. It requires a person of ability to avoid them and live long. The deduction that Mr. Elmer was mentally ill, and that he has nerve centers which govern the vital operations such as heart action, breathing and digestion, are all in the skull and in such close proximity to the intellect and the brain that they partake of the latter. **Inherently in the Ear.** A woman's ears and beak make an exhaustive study of ears says that: "there other physical feature does the ear have that strongly rule.

It seems that the German and Belgian engineers who are constructing railways in China are responsible for the "Boxer" raids. They run their lines across farms, they tear down houses and burn villages, destroy crops, seize supplies, impress labor and treat the people in a most cruel manner. The "Boxers" were organized to resist and revenge these outrages and they use the only means within their power to punish their oppressors. Everywhere the cruel white man plants his heel upon the necks of his darker brethren, but sometimes the worm turns. Secretary Hay quickly made it clear to the Boer envoyes that the administration could not do more than it already has done to bring about peace in South Africa. The United States government acted promptly when an opportunity offered through the appeal made to the representatives of the J. RICHARD YATE Next Governor of Illinois. various nations at Pretoria and was the only nation which did act. As its offer of mediation was then courteously declined by England no further opportunity is now afforded. Forty-four years ago, in a little, grimy, three-story brick building in the city of Bloomington, Iils, the Republican party was born. Then, too, it was that Abraham Lincoln made the famous speech which indirectly led to his election as president. The anti-Nebraska Democrats and Whigs, the Abolitionists and the Americans formed one great party pledged unalterably to one great cause—the freedom of the slave. In two years of the Cleveland administration, 1894-95, we exported $151,199,092 more gold than we imported. In two years of the McKinley administration we imported $141,703,309 more gold than we exported. The difference to the country, in two periods, was $292,902,401 in favor of McKinley. This doesn't include his billion-dollar favorable trade balance. Dr. McDonald, who is working under the direction of the board of education in Washington, D. C., has examined 20,000 children. Among other things he says: "Afro-American children have keener perceptions than white children. In Afro-American children the perceptions grow keener and the mind brightens with age, which is the reverse among white children." Outside of the city of New York, the bank clearings of the United States during the first four months of this year were $205,000,000 greater than in the corresponding months of 1899. There were good gains in all parts of the country except at New York, where the dull stock market lessened the bank clearings. In order to further oppress and degrade the Afro-Americans of the South, the Southern whites are to invite the Boers to settle among them, especially "because they know how to deal with inferior races." The Southern friends and South African brutes may be able to invent some new means of oppressing their black brothers. At Loch Lynn Heights a summer re- JAMES A. ROSE, Next Secretary of State of Illinois. --- THE APREAK A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER sort near Cumberland, Md., somebody thought it would be funny to run a ticket composed of three Afro-Americans. To the surprise of everybody it was elected. The Afro-American commissioners declare that they will serve. The town has no mayor; the commissioners exercising executive authority. If the Beer envoys will but take the pains to investigate they will ascertain that they are being utilized for campaign material by some rather small Democratic politicians. The latter do not hesitate to take advantage of any cause that promises returns. William J. Bryan leads the Populist ticket as its candidate for the Presidency on a platform that "reaffirms the demand for the reopening of the mints of the United States to the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 13 to 1." Illiteracy is increasing among the whites of North Carolina. By the census of 1870 there were 33,111 illiterate white voters in North Carolina; in 1880, 44,420; in 1890, 49,570. Illiteracy among the Afro-Americans is decreasing. S. P. Florence, a Western stock raiser, says that "shearers are paid 7 cents a head and board this season; quite an advance over the prices paid in recent years." This is another argument in favor of protection for wool. The Kentucky Democrats are clamoring for the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people. At the same time they are committed to the policy of electing governors by the skullduggery of partisan legislatures. The M. E. conference which closed in Chicago this week was satisfied with the presence of the Afro-American delegates. They were fairly represented on committees and there was a decided growth of sentiment in favor of electing an Afro-American bishop. Just at the present time the Democratic party is long on sympathy for the export trade. This is the same Democratic party that declined to ex- hibit any sympathy or mercy for the American laborer when it framed and enacted the Wilson tariff bill. The Illinois Republicans have ruined a large batch of Democratic expectations by holding a harmonious convention and placing an excellent ticket in the field. The indications are that this is going to be a record-breaking year for Democratic disappointment. There were nearly 7,000,000 more telegraph messages sent over United States wires in 1899 than in 1895. That indicates better business conditions last year because people had business to do and could better afford to pay telegraph tolls to two-cent postage. The Virginia Democrats didn't do a particularly bright thing when they hissed Admiral Dewey. The Democratic party is not so heavily stocked with heroes that it can afford to hiss them. An advance of 10 per cent in the wages of the employees of the West Virginia oil companies is announced. This will hardly mix with the cold water the Democratic editors are trying to throw on prosperity. In 1895 the world's production of gold was $17,000,000 less than the world's production of silver. In 1898 the production of gold was $73,700,000 greater. Not much danger of a scarcity of the yellow metal. The Wilson bill of perfidy and dishonor extended into the McKinley period, but customs revenues are now rapidly increasing and the customs receipts of the fiscal year which ends next month will be above $225,000,000. The election of the Hon. Joe Balléy to the United States Senate will leave the Constitution in an unchaperoned condition in the House of Representative. The scarcity of issues for Democratic campaigning is shown in the eagerness of the leaders of that party to lug in the South African war and other foreign questions. During the ten months of the current fiscal year ending with April 30, our exports were $135,948,857 greater in value than in the corresponding months a year ago. Western packers paid $4.80 per 100 pounds for beef in 1896. But they paid $6.20 in 1899. The farmers got the increase. Do they want to go back to Democratic prices? The Republican party has always depended upon commercial tranquility and prosperity for its success. Democratic hope is founded upon strikes and business depression. The New York Central railroad and its employees have reached a satisfactory understanding, and the walking delegate and the Democratic politicians are correspondingly sad. In addition to its other troubles the Democratic party now has a severe case of bifurcated Populism on its hands. It is safe to predict that the Philadelphia platform will not be framed by a committee of professional gloom mongers. The American voters have always resented the efforts to substitute fiction for facts. They will not change their policy this year. Kansas has experienced a few cyclones, but they were not of sufficient severity to offset the prosperity now raging in that state. Middle-of-the-road Populism possesses the courage of its convictions. But the other variety possesses the faculty for political dickering. Mr. Croker will have to hurry home to look after the honest Tammany comptroller who slipped into office through a mistake of the boss. The foreign demand for cornmeal is becoming quite a factor, thanks to the efforts of the Department of Agriculture, under this administration. A Republican platform will fit any state in the Union. A Democratic platform would be embarrassing if it were to stray over a state line. When the Kansas City convention denounces trusts the Tammany delegation will ask for a special dispensation in favor of its ice combine. The invitation to the selfish Mr. Bryan to retire in favor of unselfish Mr. Cleveland had not been accepted up to the hour of going to press. WILLIAM A. NORTHGOTT WILLIAM A. NORTHCOTT, Next Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. ROASTS TILLMAN. The South Carolina Blatherskite Done to a Turn. Little Rock, Ark., May 28, 1900. Editor THE APPEAL: rible account of the m South Carolina as T majority of the popul shiftless and still det enty per cent of a In a recent issue you say that you cannot find words to comment upon Senator Tillman's Ann Arbor speech, so I'll find some for you. I wish to deny that this howling blatherskite is the representative of Southern sentiment that he professes to be, and to prove my assertion Tillman is the representative of our roughs, toughs and bummers, a self-confessed ballot-box stuffer and assassin. He does not repress the great number of Southern whites who prey upon the dollars annually to educate the Afro-American and who do not go North and caluminate the South as Tillman is doing. Tillman lies like Falstaff when he says: "We got together and organized every white man from 15 years upward." "We" did not and could not do anything of the kind; for there are thousands of white men in the South who would quarantine against Tillman and his gang of bums just as they would against the small-pox or bubone plague. Tillman himself makes sure they too closely for the reason that many of the "white" folks of South Carolina have a slight admixture of Negro blood. Negroes of this type are, of course, strong Tillmanites since they hate other Negroes as bad as Tillman does. The most laughable thing about Tillman's speech is its pompous display of the poor creature's conceit. He says: "You in Michigan have a sense of what about this question." So I. Ben Tillman, Hamameli of South Carolina, have come all the way from South Carolina to tell you something about it. So he told them—what? What' the U. S. census—what? What' the U. S. census be found in the University library and Afro-American voters in Michigan and South Carolina. He evidently was not aware that copies of the census could be found in the University library and that the student he would cause from the university the United States not excepting South Carolina. When he was hissed he brought up the staple and unanswerable Southern argument: "When those who hissed will give their daughters to Negroes I will apologize and not sooner." And a little later he added this: "Education is a bar more than benefit to them. When colored men learn to write they forge one one's name to obtain goods and money. Character is the main essential to life, and we look to the teaching of a mother to give the character to our great men. The Negro child in the South hasn't one good mother in one hundred. Sixty to 70 per cent are totally lacking in virility to the teaching of Booker Washington is a total failure. The object of that and similar institutions is to graduate high grade mechanics and teachers, but when they are graduated their learning would be futile as the white man would not tolerate him in a competitive world. The Negro is fit only as a shoeblack, barber and other menial work, and in the cotton and rice fields." If it be a fact as he asserts that 70 per cent of the Negro's daughters are in South Carolina robbed of their virtue by the Tillmanites, it would seem that it would be a very profitable operation for the Negro to agree that he would not ask, while he would him his daughters, provided the latter would only let the Negros daughters alone and allow them to develop into virtuous mothers. I must close by remarking that no Northerner has ever given such a hor- JAMES S. McCULLOUGH, Next State Auditor of Illinois. rible account of the moral condition of South Carolina as Tillman gives. A majority of the population is lazy and shiftless and still deteriorating. Seventy per cent of a majority of the women of the state are "totally lacking in virtue." These women are the most constant companions of the young white women of the state, for it is not supposable that the remaining 30 per cent, who are, inferentially not lacking, can supply all the "black mammies" needed in South Carolina. The entire white male population from 15 years is engaged in shot-gun methods, ballot-box traps. Such is Senator Robert F. Kennedy of South Carolina, and the Ann Arbor students well as everybody else, except the decent people of South Carolina will doubtless be greatly obliged to him for dispensing valuable information so freely and idiotically. 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 make a special effort during the taking of the Census in June to find the exact amount of property of every description that is owned by African Americans. This means a great deal to us, and as well 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 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 important that as far as possible minister to the attention of the people to this matter as far in advance as may be thought best. Yours truly, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. RICHARD YATES. 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 the noted "war governor." After being graduated from Illinois college, Mr. Yates went to the University of Michigan, where he graduated from the law school. Then heneyed back to Jacksonville and began to practice law and work for his party. The money needed to send him through the two colleges he earned by working as city editor of the Jacksonville Journal and Courier. He served as city attorney of Jacksonville, was the mayor of the bench. During that time, he took Judge Carter's place in Chicago at several terms of court and passed upon many special assessment cases. Then President McKinley made him revenue collector of the district of Jacksonville and Springfield. This was in recognition of his services in getting an in-vestigation delegation for President McKinley to the election of President Before that, back in 1882, he 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 strong points, and his sense of humor is another. He remembers names and faces and dates and is a good "mixer." Those are more points in his favor in the eyes of his friends.

Before the fire department arrived the entire church was occupied for minutes nothing but the walls remained. The flames illuminated the skies for more than a mile around and many spectators were drawn to the scene. Among them were many who were members of the Bethesda congregation. The church was a frame structure, built entirely of wood. The sliding was laid up and down, and the roof was gothic in style. A small shed-like addition was attached to the rear of the church. The building was moved in three sections to its present site twelve years ago, when the members split from Olivet church, at Twenty-sixth and Avenue. the pastor is Rev. J. C. H. McCormick. There had been no meeting in the church during the evening, and it is not known what caused the fire. The pastor could not see how the blaze could have started unless by incendiarism. He was disposed to believe that the incendiarity was also the cause of the fire. In this theory the police agreed. With the church were consumed an organ and a piano, as well as a small library. The congregation is in debt. The church has the housing of the church have been made. JULIUS N. AVENDORPH Elected Vice President of Base Ball Association. On last Tuesday evening, Mr. Julius N.

This should be a warning to young men who are in the habit of beating their way on railroads, when they money in their pockets with which to pay fare. Some of our society ladies met at St. Mark's Church Sunday afternoon to consider the question of the drawing of the color blue by the Federation of Women's Clubs. We can not see why these ladies wish to force themselves where they are not wanted. Many will be surprised to learn that the highest wages paid to porters in the best hotels in toilets are $100 a day, and that support families out of that amount. Tips are very small to the head porter. There is not a waiter in any first class hotel who cannot make from $80 to $33 and there is not one out of a thousand who has hid a dollar for a rainy day; to day to day. More waiters lose their jobs for better delicacies for girls than for any other reason. Mr. J. J. Milies has left the hiring of extra waiters for the Biennial Convention of Women's Clubs in this city June 6, to the following head-waiters who are members of the Head and Second Water's Association: Mr. J. P. Early, Andorotier Montgomery, Chicago Leasing; Mr. E. Y. Montgomery, Chicago Leasing; Mr. T. Thompson, Palmer House. We are compelled resort to this method in order to drive the bam waiters out of the business. Each of these gentlemen has the privilege of enclaving eight waiters and in case any one is not competent his name will be forwarded to the head waiter who engaged in the conversation to enroll his name to work during this convention to be endorsed by one of these head waiters. CHURCH AND CLERGY. Cardinal Gibbons will soon make his fifth visit to Rome, where he will be granted an audience with the Pope. A clergyman at Milford, Pa., has purchased for $1 the release of a little girl from her father and step-mother, who abused her. Bishop Bowman said recently that he had been in the ministry, 41 years, and during all that time he had been too busy to take even a week's vacation. The Paulist Fathers in New York have opened a club house for poor boys. It is furnished on a scale comfortably favorably with the best of clubs. The Rev. Dr. H. Allen Tupper, pastor of the fashionable First Baptist church at Montclair, N. J., has given up his church to help the poor and work among the unchurched masses. The Rev. Dr. F. W. Hamilton of the Universalist church, Roxbury, Mass, has placed advertisements of his church in the street cars of Roxbury and in the cars of the Boston "L" road. At the last meeting of the New York Methodist Ministers' union a resolution protesting against "Sapho" was voted down on the ground that the ministers did not care to advertise the play. Friends of the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke have raised a fund to purchase for him a handsome home at Princeton. The fund, which amounts to $30,000, is chiefly the gift of his former parishioners in the Brick Presbyterian church, New York. Since the Rev. Father McEnroe of South Bethlehem, Pa., preached a sermon advising young men to marry, men have been more proposals to young women than ever before during a similar period in the parish. While marriage during Lent is a violation of Roman Catholic precepts, several priests have been urged to perform ceremonies. In Brooklyn, Sheriff Walton has appointed several deputy sheriffs, who are members of churches, to look out for children in the streets who do wrong. They are to deal especially with small boys who smoke cigarettes, play craps, and buy beer at salons. The plan was suggested by Mrs. Marcus Woc4 of the Young Woman's Christian association. SHORT SERMONS. Early associations and friendships almost surely determine the future of young people.—Rev J. R. Miller. A father is positively unkind if he fails to correct or rebuke his child when he does wrong.—Rev J. R. Henry.
