The major, standing near, nodded his head approving, but said nothing. The surgeon in his note book, for while the supplies naked form of the boy had excited his admiration, the veteran's practiced eye had detected in it the one quality that a soldier should not have. He had passed the boy because he had met the few recruits he had seen, because those regulations gave him no power to exercise discretion of the sort that was demanded by that particular case. He shook his head wisely and remarked: "Yes, his spirit is of the right sort, but I fear that his nerves will never stand the strain. He's balanced as an officer and will match. The turn of a hair wiltremake." As for the boy—a train took him to Tampa with his regiment, and when the fleet of transports raised the Santiago hills the boy was in the line of khaki-clad ships, with the fleet of the ships, watching with ill-concealed excitement the land he felt would either be his last resting place on earth or else the field of his glory. Slowly the mistery of the ships was revealed in a definite shape. Then the blue of those hills turned green, and at last the rugged, wooded shore lay but a mile or two over the bow. And the boy at the ship's rail gave himself up wholly to the glorious view of the sea, within him from the moment of the first alarm of war, awaiting but the sight of those hills to run riot through his brain. Had he been a fellow to the dull-witted terrorist at his side he would have cheered him out of the way, in the rattle of the anchor chain through the haspsewie as the transport came to a stop; but he was of a different fiber. He knew not that the deck lay in the water, clutched in a vice-like grip in his two hands. He knew only that the time had come that those hills meant death or glory—maybe both—and ever the blue of the sea. He tangleled on the shore were lost in the visions that danced before his mind's eye. "Would they never land? Would they never march, nort, fight, nor do aught but be a man, nor do aught but be a man, nor do the sea" he asked himself and the next him his-hundle-time and time again, in the delay that preceded the landing. How did not know, nor did he seem to tenda to an ox. He knew no fever of impatience. The boy did not know why, but his frame held a universe of surcharged wires and every minute of that hour he was an age. At last the orders came, but not to his ship. Other regiments were landed first. For hours the boats plied between the fleet and the shore. Soon the faint rain had stopped, and the men took his ears. Volleys came next and the green woods above the spot where the boats touched took on a tinge of blue over their green. The fight was on-only the men were on the ground, maybe, and the ladder was not there. By and by, his ship's turn came and the boats were clustered on the water about its gangways. His troop was assembled and the time came for him to follow the ladder. The enemy had fallen, he dropped his rifle when but half way down the ladder's length. His bunkle next him snuckered, his officers swore, but the arm had dropped into the boat and the incident was swallowed up in the How the had got ashore, as far as he knew, was this: There was a long pull over the water, a tossing and flinging of the boat through the surf and its boats crunched upon the sandy shore. There were many trees. There was much that needed doing because one had no time to do it. There was more that had to be undone because some one had done it wrong, and then there was a weary march through those woods along a narrow, rocking, stiff path. The physical suffering that attacked the lad then and he thanked God for it, for the vague fear of madness that presages the flight of reason had swept through his mind, and for the first time in those rolling ages of mind he felt the stunt of the taller men beside him strained the aching tendons of his legs. How the weight of his haversack and cartridge belt and gun tortured his upper frame. Why did the men beside him, who knew only the sense of physical suffering, drop the whitefaced and gaping in the trail? That was about the last that he knew of the march, for instinct he bade him shut off the wires to his brain and he obeyed. Henceforth he walked on, a mind asleep, neither hearing, nor feeling. His eyes were closed, and he loaded his gun. Then, when he had actually opened his eyes in the gloom about him he saw on either side and before him and behind him his comrades lying prone. He dropped among them and waited. Then came the battle at La Guasmas. A shot and then a volley began. "Oh God!" cried a stricken man beside him. "Ha-a-a-h!" sigged another and lay still. It was his bunkie. still. It was his bunkie. "Z-z: it was" went a bullet past the boy's head. And then turning the muzzle of his rifle toward the foe, he emptied it of ammunition. He then shot the shells remained in his belt. These he placed in his rifle, but the fight was over and he picked himself up out of the mire and stepped carefully over the prostrate forms about him and joined the nearest man. He then gored a gade rode by shouting orders to his colonels. The lad's own colonel passed also, but the lad only stood there, now and then glancing curiously at the silent form of his bunkie, and alternately passing fingers delicately along his empty belt. He shot so many bullets. He counted them. He shot them. Was that lying in the jungle pumping, pumping, pumping flame and bullets at an unseen foe, battle and glory? It was not that of which he had dreamed. Could he have killed any of his fellows? He could have killed any of his brothers. "How many did you kill?" he said to a soldier near him. No reply came and the said, as if he were addressing THE APPEAL. dead: "Would I feel the weight of having killed were I to know how many?" And the man nearest him stepped away with a feeling of aversion in his heart. The boy had spoken those words which most men dare only to think, and that not too often, he made was over and the troops were to camp on the field. The others spread their shelter tents and the boy did likewise. When night came all slept except the boy, the pickets and the men cared for him, and that cared this boy, fresh from his baptism. There was no pain in his body to put his mind to sleep, and he wandered from point to point, now helping to pick up and bear to his grave some man whose face he knew, now pondering over that unsolvable problem, standing alone, ever fingering the emptiness of the land, and found him doing volunteer sentry duty between a rock and a plantation tree beside the trail. Then came the breakfast. It was his first meal, and he had lived in many campages through in his mind's wild life that he perform muttered: "Again? That everlasting bacon!" and turned away to work at his problem anew, or, as he strode off, to him with fear, or, as he strode off, to what was becoming mad, and they knew it. Again came a march through more jungle, now with the rain pouring upon him, now with the sun making his clinging horse, until the hide of a sawening horse, until the hide of his legs and back again, and his mind, still obedient to the demands of his body, shut itself in and the pain outs into once more. It might have been a thousand nights that he had to walk the other day in camp came, more bacon more rain and more heat, but all that the boy knew was that some one was delaying. While the others rested he pace ceaselessly to and fro on the outskirts of the camp, and he walked through the rank, quivering undergrowth: his activity caught the eye of his colonel, who, not understanding, complimented him in this generous way and passed on. Then night came again. The man was still frightening, freeting at his inactivity brought back to the lad's mind his old problem. Then the ammunition was brought along and his cartridge belt was filled once more. After that the problem was not how many shots he had to fire before his fire the army should get into the real battle in the open day. But there was less tangible to think of in this question than the other one, and his hand was still utter the several orders of the charge. At length the army halted and the boy fell to the ground from the pains in his legs and the dreadful heat. While he lay thinking some one pulled roughly at his sleeve and a hand was clapped over his mouth. "We are to move for the attack," a voice said in his ear. "Silence is the order!" Then followed another weary march in the darkness, through mud and water knee deep, and when the gray light of that chame it found the boy standing in the dark, and the trail before him and a mule or so of his fellows stretching away behind him. Ahead of him, where the trail led, the Jungle end, the Heat came down the trail and a maddening thirst possessed him, for the fettled odors arising from the seeking mould had filled him with a fever. Unconciously he struggled for the mass of blood he had to about him when a stray trooper showed himself in the open and instantly the Spanish army, lying in their trenches beyond, opened a murderous fire. It had been the twitching of a finger to do it, and when the crash of the volley and the patterning of the bullets in the trees came, the boy's reason fed. Maybe it was this of the too sudden realization of those who had been in the darkness, who will know just how it was, for that instant every man in the line gathered his strength against the shock, daring not to think. The boy who had been, in the darkness, was to be, and in his stead meet a dame. "Charge!" he screamed, and then his hand seized the grip of the pistol at his belt. One he heard him then nor did any one see him, so unhindered he placed the gun in his hand, and then of a man in the next face before him and fired. Then he flung the smoking pistol in his captain's face and dashed out of the line into the face of the Spanish fire shrieking and laughing as he went. "That man is a murderer, fire!" shouted the captain, but not a rifle in the ranks spoke. "Fire!" said a grizzled sergeant upon whose cheek the blood of the dead man ran red and warm. And the captain turned away to hide his shame, the moment's fortune and stacked their rifles. They raised the quivering body of their comrade in their arms and bore it into the bushes beside the trail. Reverently they laid it upon the dank moss and drew the battered hat over the dead ranks. "Z-z-x-k" sang a little bullet, as it sped past the faces of the file and found a resting place in the heart of the grizzled sergeant. Him, too, the file laid on the moss, and, placing the rifles of the two men, left them there. Then the file grabs their rifles again and stood in the ranks. An officer in the front had seen the mad youth dash out of the cover and brave the fire alone and scarcely had the ranks been raised before they felt a victim the imminent attack. The column bounded forward, bending and swaying like a flying cobweb, and made the open. Up the hill after a madman they plunged up until the smoke of the Spanish powder was gone. Until the enemy had fed and Old Glory waved upon the hilltop. Then the shattered column rested, on their arms and blew the smell of battle from their nostrils. When the day was over, the line of unblinking tropical stars, thought of the madman and wondered where he was. And he? God only knows how, but he made the charge unharmed, and even then was wandering through the jungle, later when the army on the hilltop had leashed the water on the distant shore was stirred by the feet of a boy. It was the mad- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 11.1900 LI HUING CHANG KWANG SU. PRINCE TUAN KWANG SU THE DIPPEDITION OF CHINA AS A CHILD. N the blood-red dawn that comes out of the water, it is one figure that looms into sudden direful prominence N the blood-red dawn that "comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the bay,' there is one figure that looms into suddenly afraid and another that shrinks into lamentable and mysterious nothiness. The first of these is Prince Tuan, head of the Boxer movement. The second is Kwang Su, the boy emperor of China. Who is he? He is the instrument of destiny? Where is the emperor, and is he dead or alive? These are questions to which all Christendom in arms awaits an answer. Prince Tuan is a newcomer on the stage of international affairs. He is a man of international developments point to the conclusion that in China he is "The Man on Horseback." What manner of man he is that commands the horses who have established a reign of terror in China? The very mystery of making his personality, his ambition, his aim to the fascination and the terror that his name already inspires in the civilized world. Two things about man are certain. He is of royal blood and he would exteren- ture foreigners. Beyond that all is darkness. The watchword with which he inspires the fanatical hosts under him—is an inver- LI HUNG CHANG GAR sion of the cry that thrilled California to not a few years ago. It is. "China for the Chinese!" That is the abstract idea, "China drives the foreign devils into the sea!" It is thus that Prince Tuan, brother of the late emperor and uncle of the sickly young emperor whose fate is in doubt, says that he has mustered under his bloody standard. But what end does he see? asks the New York World. Does he honestly believe that he can prevail against the emperor? He really a bigoted patriot fighting sincerely for a cause he believes to be righteous? Or is he a scheming pretender lusting for the throne and ignorant of the truth? Can he bring to bear against him? These are things to that Europe and America have yet to be informed upon. They have no means of gauging Prince Tuan's strength or two ago the man was unknown. He had done nothing to draw attention to himself, nothing to indicate the potentialities of mischief and murder that lurked in the city. That would hold a horrified world at bay. Prince Tuan is the son of the fifth Prince Tien of the house of Tuwangk. He is about forty years old. He is the father of Pu-Chun, the boy of fourteen who was named as successor to the throne in the remarkable edict issued by the Emperor Kwang Su last January. It was when that edict was cabled all man of the charge. He paused a moment as the cool wind blew across his forehead and the water laved his sides, and then, maybe, the demon of madness left him. He was in the water, water, water, sea and sky seemed commingled, lay the lights on the transport fleet. He was not mad then, and plunging into the water he swam outward. A mule that had broken from the train that day and taken to the water, spied the mule and placed his hand upon its neck and the two swan on together, seeking a refuge in the night. A sentry pacing the deck of one of the transports, spiced the two in the water. At the ship's side hung an owl, and deserted his post and drew his fellow man from the water. The sentry thought this refuge a deserter, and moved with caution. The mule, when left alone, winnited softly once and then swam away. The lad lay in a bunk below deeps, while the sentry paced his beat as before. At last peace came, and one night the boy lay beside his fellows again, silent and unconscious of the change. The ship and waves strange phantasms played through his brain. He listened to the rushing of the water beyond the darkness that had swallowed him up, but understood it. He then moved to him; then the life that was past, the present and the life to come, and none brought him a sensation. Sounds and Christendom was first directed to Prine Tuan. No small curiosity was felt in his personality, but not much could be about him. After he had hated foreigners, it was insistentomen that his son, designated to become the next emperor of China, was under the instruction and influence of two intensely anti-foreign tutors. It was learned, furthermore, that Prince Tuan was the emperor of the secret societies known as "The Great Swamp and 'The Boxers', which had been responsible for the murder of Mr. Brooks, the missionary, and the influence of which extended over the provinces of Chili, Shaungtung and Honan. This was at a time when boxers of European movement was first beginning to execlare. One thing more Christendom knows about Prine Tuan. He is an athlete. He keeps his body in a condition of perfect health. He is a boxer and is suading the young men of China to follow the same course. This in part accounts for his influence. Beginning as an athletic leader, he became successively a political and martial leader. The Boxers were athletes before they became assassins. As for the Emperor Kwang Su, he never at any time been more than a fly HYANG SU. INCE TIAN on the throne, a puppet in the hands of the king. He is a son of the seventh Prince Chung of the house of Tukwang, and therefore a nephew of the late emperor, Tung Chee. Tung Chee was completely unaware of the second slave-wife of the Emperor Hienfung, seven monarch in the present dynasty of Tsing. He was a military in China for an emperor to name his successor, Tung Chee toward the close of his short, wild life named the infant Kwang Su. This was the empress dowager's choice. She seized the throne and took the slickest of her nephews. She had ruled her husband, she had ruled her son, she means to rule a third emperor. The edict of last January pointed to the conclusion of the war, but from what Prince Tung has shown of his mottle it seems likely that if his son ever comes to the throne of China he will be doing some ruling on his own account. But then no one knows that he and the empress dowager have not been playing into each other's hands. Kwang Su, at all events, has led a miserable life. "He was a slave, a slave of liberty. He succeeded to the throne he was only four years old. From that moment he was a prisoner in the imperial palace at Peking. The empress dowager administered the empire and his nephew's character to suit her own plans. It suited her that he should be sickly. slights played upon his deadened faculties as a hand plucking a stringless harp. At length the ship came in sight of his native shores, and his fellows left their bunks and through the open portholes gazen eagerly at the green-clad hills. The boy went with them, but seeing nothing crept back to bunk and his racking pains. For then he suffered in body, and his illness had so transformed him that in the gloom none knew him. One day the rushing of the waters ceased and the ship lay still. The other men left the hold, and the sooty water, dripping from the deck beams, fell only upon the boy. Then a new stench, sulphurous and harsh, crept down the hatchway, and for a day and a night his feeble frame was racked with coughing. After that the sounds that he made in his misery reached the ears of the men upon the deck, and the barge next day carried him ashore with the last detachment, but not of his regiment—They had gone before him. The sentry who gave a rifle to this wreck of a man as he left the ship gazed mutely at him and turned away. The army surgeons stared at him, too, and he stepped ashore, but he was only one in thousands, and they let him pass unaccosted. "Is he the only one of his company left?" asked a woman standing at the door, "What's the wharf?" "Won't some one help him?" A man sprang toward the boy, but the stare from those sunken eyes made him shrink away. On the heres a grotto. self-indulgent, of feeble will, given over to gross pleasures, timorous of responsibility, dependent upon her in everything, she bert the twig, and so the tree grew. The emperor of China was a manikin. His aunt was the ruler of the empire. He has been described as a small, delicate, intellectual looking youth, with large black eyes and a thin, pale face. He grand tutor for many years was Ung Tumu. He was strongly opposed to foreigners and Western ways. His enforced resignation two years ago was immediately followed by the proscription and flight of the leaders of the "Reformers," who had preeminence with satisfaction some indications of international relations to welcome European marriage. Kwang Su's marriage in 1880 was the first occasion of fatal violence between the young emperor and his aunt the dowager. He had chosen the daughter of Manehu military officer, but the emperor had already made a match for him, having chosen her own niece for the honor, and her will prevailed. The emperor submitted. In the edict by which he appointed Emperor 'tumu's son his successor, the emperor emperor—he really signed it—referred to the fact that LIVING, SU THE DIPPERON OF CHINA AS A CHILD. when he was appointed successor to Tung-Chi it was in the expectation that he would raise up helms to that monarch, "How bad was it?" and childless, the less the edified continued, "the edified continued, it found it necessary to appoint a successor.

He was only one more gaud, bearded, wreck, and why should he be noticed? Camp after camp saw him, but heeded him not, until he came, at last to a stone well where lay the camp column whose charge he led and yet he unchallenged. There he paused for a moment, as if to test the instinct that led him there, and then passed on until the guddon of his own troop fluttered at his head. His messmates lolling on the grass beside their tents saw him, and rising stared at him. He halted before his own tent—vacant the—and wheeling, marched and fell. A new sergeant saw him and turned pale. His comrades caught his limp form and laid it on its bed. The colonel heard the news and came to the tent and so did the regiment to a man, for this man had come back to them from the dead. The bugles whispered their calls that day, for the boy was dying, and the men trod lightly as they passed. Those who had known him best gathered about the tent when they heard that the end was near, and stood with uncovered heads while the chaplain and the white-capped nurse knelt beside him.

"I shall never forget an experience one morning out on the plains not a great ways from Denver. I was plodding over the prairies, or rather buffalo grass, afoot. I'd been walking a couple of hours, I guess, and I kindly happened to notice what appeared to be a stout stick with the end of it mottled and rising up a little over the grass. I paid no particular attention to t until, for some reason, I seemed toear all my thoughts onto that stick. I looked again I found that I was looking at a monstrous brittle rattlesnake. He audet rattled, nor given any warning, he did not react, and I came up there, like a ticket, kinder surveying things, and especially me. "My, but he was a tremendous big feller! I don't want to exaggerate or any thing, but, honestly, I believe he was 'uly as long as his billboard table. He was running his old tongue out and seeming to say, 'ell, what are you going to do?' I told him, 'I don't have stock still. Didn't jump nor nothing, for I seen too much of reptiles and things to let 'exe me alive. I stood there, with my hands at my sides and merely looking at him. I thought, 'Well, I don't know, old feller, whether I want to tackle him or not. I don't want to darling out his tongue and looking directly at me.' "There we was I should think for fully five minutes, each of us sizing the other up. Each not afraid of the other, yet neither eager to open battle. The longer I were powerless to move, I seemed as if I was powerless to move, but I wasn't very much scared, and I seemed to be attracted somehow. My eyes were fixed right on the snake's eyes, and I don't believe that I could have taken them off of him. The old feller won't want to move me. If he had I thought I been all right and could have fought for all I was worth. “ It was not, I tell you, the hypnotism or magnetism of fear.

Then I'd got bit, sure's blaze. We had a lot of fear and fear that something stirred off in the grass nearby, and my snake turned and went like a streak.

I didn't want anything to eat for a week almost. I shall never forget, by the way, being down in Florida. I was visting a relative who had a place there, an orange grove. Out back of the house, we were sitting in a room with a summer house I guess you'd call it, lattice work, and over it was trailing a vine, honeysuckle and such. I put away a big dinner and feeling kinder drowsy, I thought I'd go out to that summer house and read or doze for a while. I was going to look at us, taking a look at what about the room and kind of them to do was one of them sleepy, dossy yaller novels. Well, I read on for a spell and then I gradually began to get moozish. Suddenly something fell ker-thoop, squash right down from the floor, and the room was full of two a ratter!

The essential and controlling charm of the horseless carriage is that it increases one's freedom of action and reduces the friction of life. A metaphysician might describe it as a movement of a person's will, or a movement of a person's mind and simplicity of action engendered by the temporary triumph of collectivism as applied to transport. This railway train is necessarily collectivist. Passenger train starts and moves from the front of the train to the front of a large number of people who want to travel from, let us say, Bath to London, or between places along the Great Western railway. But in order to satisfy those volitons, the horseless carriage is then have to be made shalled and organized, and its guards and shackles. A railway train, with its guards and drivers, and fixed places of stoppage, is a creature of strict rules, and those who travel in it must temporarily surrender their private rights. The horseless carriage is also a state with others. The man who takes out his motor car and drives it along the road is, as it were, a freeholder, with all the freeholder's limitations and weakness and isolation. Still, the horseless carriage is not a freeholder, but a start with a start of its own, which is the only one which is independent of his fellows. This charm, of course, belongs also in theory to any carriage from a donkey cart to a landau, but in practice it does not operate in such cases except for the use of a short distance. The first of these saving is too powerful and gives the advantage to the train. No horse can go at the rate of twelve miles an hour for three consecutive hours, and the end of the three hours be 100 miles. The first of these is the study of the weight or ten hours. It is its tirelessness which makes the motor car quite a different mode of transport from a horse and gives it its superiority. In the case of a motor car you have a three-wheeled truck going from place to place as tireless as a train, and you have no more than a three-wheeled four-wheeled truck as the train and a yet one which is individualistic and independent. The English roads are like wood-fringed rivers that run twisting and turning through their villages and towns. No one can travel down fifty miles of an English road without coming upon a hundred beautiful and unexpected things and seeing those things in the best possible way and as they ought to be seen, or, even if we see scenery from the rollways, we are, as any river that is great-hand scenery, we are, as it were, looking at the brocade of the landscape on the wrong side. We see the pattern awry and upside down. We cut across the roads, not wind down them. We see the old church of the old manor house not in a picture composed by centuries of usage and of kindly human courteers. Things as seen from the railway are for the most part set on "wrong, face the wrong way, and, as if there were more in the present." The coal shed or the chimney of the heating, apparatus is turned toward us in the train, and not the best line of gables or the old lycity gate. Of course these things have always been seen by the users of the road, but not in the same profusion as they will now be owing to the use of motor cars. To put it plainly, the dweller in a country district, even when he uses a bicycle, does not really know the roads; for more than a radius of fifteen miles from his home. With a motor car, we have a chance to see a road of at least thirty miles. The person who does not bicycle has, of course, an even smaller radius. Ten miles there and ten miles back is generally the driving limit. But we must not be content to deal only with the charm of the motor car by reason of the freedom of movement which it confers. The motor-carlet—to use a hideous but convenient work—has to consider which form of car, both as regards shape and method of propulsion, confers the charm in the greatest perfection, and on this we would say a word or two. Opinions will, of course, differ, but we believe that the most useful shape is that of the victoorobot, which is the most good go-to hood, little least great that can be put up, and the popular box seat for two, gives almost all that can be desired of comfort and practical convenience. The owner can, when he likes, sit on the box and crive himself. When he is tired of that, or too busy, he can sit inside at his ease, and is able to get in and out with the rapidity only possible in a victoria. But granted the victoria is the best all-round shape, what is the best method of propulsion? He would be a bold man who would venture to try to decide such a question off-hand; but this much may be said: If the storage of electricity could be made easier and quicker and generally improved, electricity would, without question, be the ideal driving force. A car charged with electricity can be driven by a child. There is practically nothing to get into the car, or go wrong. A hard-working goblin has been given the accumulator, and for the number of miles which he is condemned to serve the car is pound to run. Nothing is easier than to drive Defective Page YOU READ THE APPELA PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS. EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS 49 E. 4th St. St. Paul, Minn.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1900. FOR PRESIDENT: WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: THEO. ROOSEVELT, of New York. It will be remembered that Senator Tillman, he of the pfortketch, helped to write the Kansas City platform which expresses such tender regard for the rights, liberties and independence of the brown man. But on the floor of the Senate of the United States this same Senator, while speaking of the black man, said with pride: "We stuffed ballot boxes, we shot them; we are not ashamed of it." The Senator must be an expert on the relation existing between shades color and the degree of liberty that ONLY FILIPINO DRUG CLERK IN THE UNITED STATES The only Filipino drug clerk in the United States, as far as can be ascertained, is Raymon Riles, who is employed by the Sherman-McCunnell Drug company of Omaha. He has had a very interesting career for a boy of his years. He was born in Burlington, a small city on the eastern coast of the Island of Samar. His father is a herchant, and young Riles received a good Spanish education, but not being a native of the Philippines village, and not seeing matters always as his father viewed them, he ran away from home and went to Hoio, where he worked in a factory. He afterward enlisted in the Spanish army and was at Manila when Dewey annhilated the Spanish fleet. He was twice wounded in battle—once slightly in the chest by the fragments of a bursting shell, and once received a rifle ball Democracy should portion out to each. Owing to the result of the recent election in North Carolina, in which white supremacy was engrafted on the state, Representative Hardwick will introduce in the next session of the Georgia legislature a bill providing for a constitutional amendment, similar in form and provisions as that adopted in the old North state. This enforces property and educational qualifications on suffrage, which practically disfranchises the Afro-Americans. In one breath the Democratic orator will assure his hearers that McKinley has no backbone, that he is a creature controlled by those around him, and with the next breath will accuse him of shaking the Republic to pieces in order to erect a throne on the ruins thereof. Chairman Jonas thinks one may be able to pick enough Democracy from the Kansas City platform to stand upon. There are a great many distinguished Democrats who are not inclined to the Jones way of thinking. At all events Bryan can collect material for another book. But in place of calling it the Second Battle, it would be well to acknowledge defeat as gracefully as possible and call it the Lost Cause. Those who vote for Bryan vote to abandon a condition more prosperous than any ever before enjoyed by any nation, for the purpose of trying a financial experiment condemned by all nations. Mr. Altgeld has pronounced Mr. Bryan the greatest man in the civilized world; and Mr. Bryan has all along contended that Mr. Altgeld is one of the best judges of greatness extant. The Republican administration goes to the country upon its accomplishments. Incidentally, it will be materially strengthened at the ballot box by the mistakes of the Democracy. Of the several nominees for the presidency, Mr. Bryan is far the wealthiest, and he made all of his money during the prosperous times brought about by the McKinley administration. Bryan sees danger in our National prosperity, and those wishing to do THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER through the right hand. He was taken prisoner by Uncle Sam's soldiers, and after his release came to America on a transport. He was one of the Filipinos who were on exhibition at the Philippine village during the Greater American exposition. Young Riyes is a bright, energetic and please young man. As the accompanying cut shows, he is rapidly becoming Americanized. He is in love with the United States and says he has no desire to return to his native home. He is a devout Catholic. He is studying English and speaks it quite readily considering his short residence here. Now, standing his limited opportunities and being entirely among strangers he promises to be useful and patriotic citizen. He says he would defend "Old Glory" if opportunity arises and there are reasons that cause one to believe he is sincerer. him justice must admit that, should his opinions prevail, such a source of danger would be speedily removed. From the silence of the Democrats on the tariff question it would seem that they have decided to take the views of one of their former candidates and call it a local question. Bryan is opposed to a front porch campaign, as the collections made from the rear end of a Pullman are always better than those made at lawn socials. William J. Bryan has exchanged his lecture called "What I Know About Wheat" for a new one entitled "What I Know About the Republic." The small boy whose representations concerning the jam closet have been discredited naturally wants to paramount some other question. Bryan should establish a rigid censorship over his thinks or there will be trouble before November. If the silver question is out of politics, why was it hammered into a political platform? The Democratic party never pointed with pride to any business measure that it ever enacted. It is not believed that Mr. Bryan's new farm is worked so thoroughly as it is photographed. AT PARIS. Some Spicy Notes From Our Own Co respondent SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE APPEAL, FROM STAFF CORRESPONDENT Paris, France, Aug. 1.—Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council, which meets in Indianapolis next month, spent a few days in Paris last week, leaving for London Saturday, July 21, to be present at the African Council to be held in London July 23, 24 and 25. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Calloway left Paris July 23rd, to attend the African Council in London. Mr. and Mrs. Calloway will remain in London for a few days, when Mrs. Calloway will start for America, hoping to reach Washington, D. C., during the first part of August. Mr. E. S. Williams, school teacher of St. Louis, Mo., is not in Paris. Mr. Williams will leave about Tuesday, July 21st for a trip through Germany and Switzerland. Dr. U. G. Mason, assistant city physician of Birmingham, Ala., spent last week in Paris. To Stop Cigarette Smoking Among Our Youths. To Stop Cigarette Smoking Among Our Youths. Girls as Well as Boys Are Slaves to the Habit—Anti-Cigarette League Is Fighting the Evil and Founding Branch Societies All Over the Country—Some Statistics as to Cigarette Smoking in Washington by Youngsters of Both Sexes. WENTY-NINE men riding on a trailer attached to a Pennsylvania avenue electric car in Washington, D. C., four smok- ing cigars, two smoking pipes, nineteen smoking cigarettes, and only four not smoking, and this percentage being nothing unusual either in the street car or on the street; eleven young ladies of Washington's smart set meeting afternoons in a supposed "4 o'clock tea" and substitution boys from eight to fifteen years of age buying a package of cigarettes in a tobacco store on a prominent business street, light the cigarettes directly front of the store in the midst of passers by, and then each one puffing away walking down the street evidently proud of the achievement; twenty-one out of twenty-seven boys and six out of ten girls in a seventh grade in a Washington public school admitting that they smoke cigarettes a fourth grade Washington public school acknowledging that they smoke cigarettes; forty girls in four schools admitting that the cigarette was no stranger to their lips; fifty boys in one school stating that they have seen as many school girls smoking the "coffin mail"; positive knowledge of the "three mall"; positive knowledge of the "city under the care of a prominent physician each in a dangerous physical and mental condition caused by the made by reputable the cigarette; statements made by reputable the cigarette; sale of certain "favorite" brands made especially for the ladies, and the large sale of cigarette holders, so that the telltale "yellow fingers" may not appear; the appalling admissions of the boys and girls as to the general use of the cigarette and the further statement of the boys that the girls "catch on to inhaling in great shape"; the fact that three boys ten years of age, without any question of the seller, purchase cigarettes, cigarette to sell, plugging up of eighteen to twenty-three dealers of tobacco; and lastly, the knowledge of the death of boys, yes, of girls, in hospitals and homes, caused by the cigarette. These observations lead me to make the statement that Washington, of all cities visited by me West or North, is the worst in its use of the cigarette in particular and tobacco in general. "Gentlemen will refrain from using tobacco in this room." It was in a church of Washington, hanging over each gas chandelier and on the walls of the building, and the signs containing this admonition are one of our well known denominations was being held. The preachers and delegates were very gentlemanly, and no smoke was visible in the room, but on many a face of a worthy exhorter was pictured this desire, "Oh, for a place to split!" But the boys and girls. By unanimous consent of the broad of trustess of the public schools of the District of Columbia we were permitted to talk with the scholars. Of those who smoke or have smoked the cigarette the percentage in fourteen schools runs as follows: Boys from 7 to 10 years of age, 25 per cent; from 10 to 12 years of age, 33 1-3 per cent; from 12 to 14 years of age, 50 per cent; from 14 to 18 years of age, the seventh and eighth grades, 33 1-3 per cent. In the rooms below the seventh grade, the scholars are from 6 to 12 years of age, the boys and girls are about evenly divide, but in the two higher grades, as well as in the high school, there are about 20 per cent more girls than boys. In the high schools fully 50 per cent of the boys smoke, and many of the girls. The statement that girls smoke sounds shocking, and it is because so little attention has been paid to this phase of cigarette smoking that the girls have felt secure. It is not hard to imagine that they will be young men cigarette boxes, both filled with decorate them with ribbon, and hang them upon the walls of her room, might be induced to smoke one or more, and especially if she had 100 boxes so decorated and hung, and every box was filled as in the case of one young girl. Of the boys who have admitted smoking, we know that the anti-cigarette campaign, have taken the pledge of the Anti-Cigarette league, which reads: "I do hereby pledge myself upon honor to abstain from smoking cigarettes or using tobacco in any form at least until I reach the age of twenty-one years, and to use my influence to induce others to do the same." Strange to say few girls will agree to take the pledge. The younger girls, of course, are unanimous in pleading solves, but of the girls of fourteen and over, not more than 60-per cent will agree to sign the following pledge: "Abstaining myself from cigarettes or the use of tobacco in any form, I promise to use my influence to induce others to do the same. I also promise never to adhere to the rules of the school or give presents suggesting its use." Washington has now 6,000 members of the Anti-Cigarette league, and will have, when all schools have been visited, at the same rate 20,000 members. Each public school has a boy and a girl superintendent and these have selected the regular boys' and girls' organization. The work is being carried on by the federation of young peoples societies of the District of Columbia, which number 140, thus utilizing the already organized forces of the Epworth leagues, Christian Endeavors, Baptist union, Brotherhood of Young People's Christian union, Y. M. Others. This gives the movement permanence and character, and it is owing to these auspices that the movement in Washington has had unparalleled success, far eloping a like movement in any accomplishing positive and lasting results. This work has been formed in the churches, in direct charge of the Young People's society of the church attended by the member. The excellent law relating to the sale of tobacco passed by congress in 1921 which is as follows: "Be it enacted by the senate and houses representatives of the United States that no person who breaches no person in the District of Columbia shall sell, give, or furnish any cigar, cigarette or tobacco in any of its terms to any minor under sixteen years' age; and for each and every violation this section the offender shall, on conviction, be fined not less than $2 nor more than $10, or be imprisoned for not less five days nor more than twenty days." D.P. This extremely stylish gown is of white foulard spotted with dark blue and having a border trimming of dark blue and white spots. Deep cream sleeves and a lace trimming are also used. This gown is very actively used in bordering the blue bands on the skirt. A distinctive feature in this costume is its upper skirt with the inverted pleat down the front. Has it been so openly vandalized, that since its passage the prosecutions for its v olave averaged but two per year. It took two hours, four boys and twenty-three dealers to secure nineteen arrests for violation of the above laws. Italian fruit stands, fashionable drug stores, large lioboque establishments and corner grocery stores have been the target to get the pennies and nickels from the boy. The order issued by Willis M. Moore forbidding employees of the United States weather bureau using cigarettes and one of the largest mercantile houses of Washington discharging all employees who were addicted to the habit, has had a splendid influence for good. The boys also noticed many advertisements in the paper heading "Boys Wanted" closing and "Young People's Temperance need apply"—Willis J. Brown, President of the Young People's Temperance Society. WHEN BATTLE COMES. (Continued From First Puge.) saw the dull, hollow eyes sit with a new light. He saw the thin, gaint arms reach out as if to grasp something—his gun, perhaps. The nurse raised the dying boy in her arms, his eyes turned to his colonel's face in inquiry. The colonial read his glance and hardening his face the old commander obeyed the behest: "Charge!" he cried in rincing toes. "Charget" answered the boy, and died. —New York Sun. CHARMS OF AUTOMOBILING. (Continued From First Page.) It is, however, the accumulators can as a result be charged to run some fifty miles, and when that period is reached the car must rest five or six hours while the electricity is being supplied. But this means that the car is not to pass, but capable of exhaustion and requiring rest-effects which go to break the chain of freedom which is specially delightful in a motor car. Some day, no doubt, electricity will be properly broken in to the work, but as yet man has not mastered the lightning. This other forms of voice are the steam engine and the gas engine. Very possibly the steam engine will triumph, but as yet, although there are some good steam cars, the best results do not bring to the steam but to the gas engines. Propulsion obtained by utilizing a series of expositions or "petrol" at present holds the field. The most driven by petrol produces not only the highest of all but is the most practicable and the most trustworthy. The "petrol" given to it does not want to rest like the electric, but will run as long as it is wanted, provided only that the tanks of "petroi" can be filled up from time to time. For the present, then, "petroi" is the best source of power and will be generally employed by those who wish to be able to make long journeys at a quick pace, and to be independent of external help other than the purchase of oil. But, as we have said above, the ingenuity of the inventor will no doubt very soon greatly improve both electric and steam propulsion. Probably in the end all three forms will preface the second, and each for the purpose to which it is best equipped for. The action of horses, donkeys, pennies and ponies, can be any way, no doubt, horse traction will still go on, even in the absence of a ground, but it cannot be avoided in amount. This much more than have said, to come to stay, and we may be certain that the horse is transported up its hill, say, fifty miles, for the very good reason that it so great a car will, in fact, do more fully what the biennis will, give the nation back its roads.-Spectator. ON THE MAGICIAN Hqw Bill Nye Once Turned a Joke Upon Herrmann A few years ago Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley were touring the country together and one day when in a Chicago hotel were seated at a table in the dining room opposite Herrmann, the magician. Although each was known to the other, no sign of recognition passed between them. But Herrmann, who was always playing practical jokes upon his friends, had prepared one for Nye. While the latter was about to investigate the mysteries of a salad that had been placed before him, he saw beneath a lettuce leaf a superb and scintillant diamond, set in a very fine gold ring. Without showing the least surprise he lifted the ring from the salad bowl, slipped it on his finger, conscious all the while that every eye was upon him, and, turning to Riley, who sat next to him, remarked, with his dry, inimitable drawl: "Strange how careless I am getting up to be in my old age, James, I am forever leaving my jewels in unlikely places." Herrmann was dumb-founded at the sudden manner in which his trick had miscarried, but he was destined for a still greater shock: for, when the darky waiter who presided over the table brought on the next course, Nye turned to him and, soberly handing him the gem-set ring, said: "You are a very good waiter, Joe." "Yes, sah, I guess I is sah," "And you always will be a real good waiter, Joe?" "Yes, sah; I boun' mout da best, sah," "I believe you, Joe. I believe you; and, as an evidence of my faith in you, I want you to accept this little trifle. Wear it, and always remember the man who most appreciated your services." The darky eyes bugled. Herrmann's fork rattled to the floor and he tugged at his great mustache, but was far too clever to cut in with an explanation at such an inopportune moment. There were half-suppressed titters all around the board during the rest of the meal, which the professor of occult art did not appear to enjoy. At a late hour that night Herrman was heard in loud argument with the dusky recipient of the diamond ring, trying, in two languages, to convince him that it was all a joke on the part of Mr. Nye. Finally, after disbursing a tip of more than customary liberality, Herrmann got back his ring. He afterward avowed the stone alone was -worth $2,000 and that Bill Nye's nonchalant presentation of it to a grinning man had spoiled a whole evening's performance in legerdemain. MRS. PIPER'S TRANCES. A Description of the Mode of "Communications" Made by Her The mode of "communication" is somewhat as follows: Mrs. Piper goes into a "trance"—some state of insensibility and unconsciousness of whose nature we know little or nothing—her head resting on a pillow placed on a table, says Harper's Magazine. A pencil is placed in her fingers and the "communications" are written out on a pad provided by the sitter. Mrs. Piper is not touched in the meantime, so that muscular suggestion is excluded from consideration. The sitter simply remains in silence until he finds it necessary to ask a question, which is addressed to the medium's hand. In the meantime, and without any suggestion or question, all sorts of "messages," comprising incidents in the previous life of the "communicator," may be written down, all unknown to Mrs. Piper, and often unknown to the sitter, but verified aheadward among those at a distance whom he may interrogate. To many these facts will seem trivial, but their value consists in that fact. The first problem for the psychical researcher is the personal identity of the alleged discernate spirit, and only the most trivial incidents can make that certain. Generalities, profound philosophy, poetic description, and similar phenomena would only condemn all claims to spiritism. Personal experiments which I conducted show that living, intelligent men choose trivial incidents to prove their identity, and that the choice of them does not serve as an index of their character or conditions of life and cond. A girl will most always try to dress right after she has asked a man what it's a sign of when her lip itches. Marriage helps a man. Ananias would probably never have got celebrated if it hadn't been for Sapphira. When a man gets married there are always a lot of women who go around wondering what either of them could have seen in the other. GAMMON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

The dog The most enjoyable outing the people of the Twin Cities have had this season was the annual picnic which Phillip's mission, at Spring Park, Thursday, took a lovely one—for a picnic—and the people, to the number of several hundred, took advantage of the occasion to go out in the cool woods by the lake and to attend was, perhaps, the largest that attended any picnic given by the mission.

A valuable manuscript, if not the most valuable one in America, is owned by John Jacob Astor, who gave $15,000 for it. It is the Sforza missal. It is a manuscript measuring thirteen and seven-eighths inches by nine and one hundred and eighty-four pages. It is hundred and is bound in red morocco. It was made for Galeazzo Sforza by the great Florentine artist, Francesco Filippo Lippi. Iron nails are studded all over the covers of a set of missals owned by Brooklyn, who paid $200 for the set. It is the full musical score used in a European monastery—it is a choir book.

The Musical Susceptibility of the Parrot is Great. Neither the cat nor the dog can compare in musical susceptibility with the parrot, who is shaken by storms of emotion, but we have known a cat show very marked pleasure in a whistled tune, says the Spectator.

NORTH STAR HOUSE FURNISHING C? 434-436 Wabasha St. St. Paul or low notes of music, but one doubts if such imitation is conscious, or based at all on enjoyment. The dog appears depressed with lowered head and tail, or uncomfortably excited, and a kind of thrill precedes the sounds. On the other hand, both cats and dogs appear to be unconscious of the sounds they utter until experience or definite teaching has shown them the result. To make a dog utter sounds voluntarily is often very difficult, and, in a sing "sit" order seem to exercise a painful tenet. Again, excitement will strangleuate the voice of the dog, like that of a shy girl at a singing lesson, so that his strongest impulse to appeal is mute. So, too, cats often silently open their mouths when they demand food. Such facts seem to point to the conclusion that the noise is not purposely produced, and that though sounds may give warning or guidance to other animals, the utterance is dependent on physical sensation, who learns it may depend ultimately on such sensation as is felt by some people in the throat when a Bourdon stop is on the organ, and by most people when they hear, for instance, the cheering of a large crowd. If this is so, we are on the wrong tack in comparing the sounds of animals, varied and specified though they are, to language, and should rather compare them to weeping and laughter, which provoke an imitative response, or even to the sound of a dog who clearly come dumb through deafness. For in such cases it is not purpose but efficient cause that must be the subject of inquiry. HE FOUND A DIAMOND Glittering in the Midst of a Piece of Blue Clay. Mrs. William Playfair, the wife of the well-known physician, is the possessor of a diamond to which a very special interest is attached, says the Chicago News. Some years ago he visited the Orange Free State, happened to notice in this lady's drawing room a piece of bright blue stone, from which a tiny brilliant point protruded. Seeing that his attention was attracted by this specimen, the patient begged him to examine it, told him it was a mineralogical curiosity, and that he was interested in those particular geological conditions and finally begged his acceptance of the stone, adding that the gift was only valuable as a curiosity. Dr. Playfair willingly accepted the interesting memento of a very pleasant acquaintance and for some time the piece of stone was glittering with an appended, was an object of deep interest to all his friends. One day it occurred to the doctor to show his bit of blue clay to a jeweler who was considered an expert in stones and to suggest that the latter should break up the lump and see how much of the glittering matter lay hidden from view. To this, however, the stone had to be cut, otherwise, saying that they could see all the value in it and that in breaking up the lump of clay they would spool a very interesting specimen. Dr. Playfair, however, insisted upon having his own way, with the result that a very valuable diamond was shortly afterward brought to light. Needless to add, the Orange Free-State was at once communicated with, but the giver of the "interesting" gift would not hear of the stone being sent out to her and the giver of the handsome pendant that is one of Mrs. William Playfair's most cherished possessions.

KING ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERY TASTE OFFERED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE STATE FAIR. Afternoon Grand Stand Programme is Crowded With Events That Will Amuse, Entertain and In-Struct - Race's, Aerial Performances and Hilton Ascension - Evening Programme of Equal Merit Concluding With a Brilliant Pyrotechile Display. In securing Palm's great spectacular protecine production, Dewey's fleet and the battles in the Philippines, to conclude each evening's performance before the grand stand, the state fair management has rounded out a magnificent programme for the entertainment of the visitors to the four-annual Minnesota state fair and festivities. It was the most expensive attraction of this character submitted to the board, but the managers are thoroughly convinced that the public is preparing to take charge of the age, and were not disposed to allow the additional expense to be a factor in determining their conclusion. They did not feel justified in offering the people of the Thirteenth Minnesota in anything but the best, and they feel that in Paine production they have it. Thirteenth Regiment to Assist. All of the managers are the co-operation of the members of the Thirteenth Minnesota in making the spectacle most realistic. The managers of the production will introduce features of the Thirteenth's service in the Philippine coast, fighting and other incidents which will be familiar to the Thirteenth from actual experience and to their friends from frequent repetition. This brilliant and imposing display two running races will be given each evening on the electric lighted half-mile track, and the Protopos and La Rose will give their wonderful aerial and spiral exhibitions. Band con- The grounds and buildings will be brillantly lighted by electricity each evening until 11 o'clock, so that those that do not have an opportunity to examine the exhibition halls and their contents during the day may do so before or after the evening performance which will begin promptly at 8 o'clock each evening and conclude in ample time to permit all visitors to reach any part of either city by street car.

French Fast Losing Ground. Is French losing ground abroad—that is to say, it is being less spoken and read by educated people on the continent of Europe and elsewhere than was formerly the case? This is a question which has from time to time given rise to interesting discussion, and certain lamentations lately have brought it to the attention of nearly to the front. There is no doubt that during recent years it has met with formidable rivals. The tongue of united Germany is more studied than it was in the old days, and various enterprising nationalities of the smaller kind are bestowing more attention on their own language and literature than they had had the opportunity of doing for centuries. All this may be readily admitted, and nothing could be more natural. The immense could be given to them, the enormous expansion of international trade and the impulse which the nationality movement has received were all bound to lead to this result—London Telegraph.

Justice Johnson, of St. Paul, has decided in the case of the Odd Fellows Review against John Gaffey, that if a subscriber deserves to have a paper reconsideration, he should not be allowed to assume the owe subscription, and make a request that the subscriber be reconsidered.

This, the court held, was through no fault of the publishers, who received a judgment for the amount "due." A GREAT MODERN DAILY The greatest feat of modern civilization is the modern newspaper. This thought comes to mind almost every day as we take from its wrapper The Minneapolis Tribune. It is simply astounding now much in the way information and fact, as well as intelligence are built into a buy for a cent—new and fresh every day. There is something to be said about the Tribune which probably is untrue of any other Twin City daily. It is consistently and persistently Reasonable, and after false gods nor do the flesh pots of office or the allurements of gain ever serve it from its support of the right. At the same time, it is modest in its efforts to shape party policy and the economy. All this may be understood, however, from the fact that the Tribune is in no sense an organ; it is a newspaper—with the accent upon the news. No doubt this accounts for its overtiveness. Minnesota averages for an entire year over 50,000° circulation, as the Tribune did (50,185 for the year ending March 1, 1990), it is going to more people, underiding the number of people within its field, than any paper we know of. There are more kinds of people in Minnesota interested in the dog in The Tribune's daily cartoon than in any other one daily creation. These cartoons are infinitely funny, and any one can sense. They drive home a witty thrill when a whole column of editorial might glance off ineffective. The Tribune has recently moved into its new marble front building, of which it is just proud. Its equipment is not without exception the finest and most up-to-date money has been spared to make it so and the paper tells on its face that it is the product not only of the best mechanical facilities, but the best newspaper brains and character in the northwest. We like saying to others "Toe the mark with The Minneapolis Tribune." A TREAT In Store for Ladies and Children of Mion. epolls. Mrs. Victor Webb, who for the past year has been in attendance at the Infirmary Parlors of the N. I.

When you are out wheeling give him a call. Local Republicans are greatly worked up over the fight which is going on between Messrs. Reed and Boardman for the nomination for county attorney. Messrs. Reed and Boardman are using the familiar quotation: "One good term deserves another." The Boardman supporters are made up largely from the ranks of the party. They have two years ago and who then contended that Peterson should have been given a second term, and now they are trying to give Reed a dose of the medicine which he then gave to Peterson. The party has contested, and while Reed has the support of many of the strongest men of the party, Boardman has an enthusiastic following of the young element of the party. He has reported that Mr. Reed has recently notified the members of his staff that they were free to support any one they choose, intimating that new deals all were looked for or at the beginning of his next term. The workers have picked out the following staff of assistants for Boardman in case he is elected: First assistant for Boardman, A. L. J. Smith; Second assistant, F. F. Jones; third assistant, C. L.

Miaco's Trocadero, which has weathered the summer season with the utmost success, giving a redhot show despite the redhot weather, and always catching the crowds by the display of pretty women and clever comedians, will have its usual jolly melange of burlesque and variety during the week beginning next Sunday afternoon. "The French Maids," a crackerjack aggregation of handsome young women, be the attraction, while the comedian be led by that dry humorist, ever popular in Mango, Bob Van Osten, Dances, marching and oriental pasmala will reveal the perfect figure of the young women, and a new series of sensuous living pictures will still further display their charms. There will be two new burlettes, and the specialty bill will be made up of the cleverest performers who could be possibly collected. Appreciative words are jewels, rescued from the yesterday's life, that shall be set in the glow in that upper and world—Aughey. Sam T. Jack's. The programme at Sam T. Jack's for the week beginning next Sunday afternoon will, as usual, be made up of burlesque and vaudeville—burlesque or snappy kind always supplied at this house, for eight years the chosen resort of all who like tights and spangles, while the vaudeville will be the best and liveliest to be had for money. There will be a brilliant ensemble of pretty women in airy costumes as a starter for the show; numerous living figures are exhibited between the acts and the performers who appear at proper intervals. Two new burlesque will be presented, both full of spice and ginger, while the shaped girls will be seen in brightest light throughout the whole performance. The Chicago Amateur Minstrel club gave their annual picnic at Elliot's Park on Monday last and carried out a very large crowd. Although there were more "mixups" than the boys cared to see, a more orderly crowd never assembled on any picnic ground.

Political Points. The platform of the Kentucky Democrats make them accessories after the fact. A political party that puts forth a platform and then tries to explain that it doesn't mean what it says naturally invites the suspicion of the voters. In case Mr. Crocker fails to rally the young men of the country, the work might be turned over to the Tammany Ice Trust. It has a business-like way of going after things. Ex-Senator Gorman noodily proclaimed the outer Gorm that the Kansas "City platform it 'a well-written document." He declined, however, to touch upon its hair-trigger contents. If your Democratic-talking politician is hasty tempered, and you wish to avoid warm words, do not ask him, "Well, how about the price of wheat and the price of silver?" A Boston judge fined a "divine healer" $1,500 the other day. Yet the orators who go about the country predicting the downfall of the Republic are not molested by the law. *** Enough cities have subscribed to assure the "Prohibition Special." The Republican club has been organized with the following officers: J. H. Zedrick, president; Lee Napier, secretary; Thomas Rogers, treasurer. *** The Hon. James Hamilton Lewis has been doing a little "paramountment" on his own account, and announces that he holds the Administration responsible for the attitude of the Boxers. *** Mr. Croker and Mr. Hill are so busy watching each other in New York this year that Mr. Bryan may have to send one of his Nebraska friends to look after his interests in that state. Mr. Bryan made the platform upon which he desires to stand. The gentlemen who are trying to twist its meaning by the "paramountment" process are acting wholly upon their own responsibility. Afro-American Republicans have organized the Villa Ridge Union League club, with the following officers: Eli Smith, president; Henderson Perkins, vice president; S.

Chairman Rowe of the Republican state committee has received advises from chairmen of 67 counties throughout the state regarding the respective attitude of German Republicans in the attitude of counties. Every one of them states no German Republican loss will be sustained, but substantial gains will be made from German Democrats and other sources. BETHEL'S NEW PASTOR Politif of Bethel A. M. E. Church now Oc cupped by Rev. A. I. Murray. Rev. A. R. Murray, the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church was born in Ypsilanti, Mich. In 1863 His early training was under the captain, his parents having died when he was very young. He attended the public schools of Charlestown, Ind., until 1882, at which time he entered the school at Greencastle, Ind. Here he completed a common school education and subsequently became a student at De Pauw university. After a course of years he was graduated with high honors. He was invited to serve for the ministry and in 1887 was licensed as a local preacher by the Rev. D. A. Graham. Mr. Murray's first charge was in Brazil, Ind. Here he found no church and only a few members. After working for one year he succeeded in arousing new interest in the members and the church of a good church edifice. In 1880 he became the Methodist church at his former home, Greencastle, Ind. Here he built a new place of worship. In 1891 he was ordained elder and transferred to the Michigan conference. While stationed at Jackson, Mich., he erected a church of nearly $4,000 and added thirty names to the church membership. In 1892 Mr. Murray was sent to Vincennes, Ind., where he received 100 persons into membership. In 1896 he was appointed pastor of Allen chapel, Indianapolis, Ind., where the best of his life's work has been accomplished up to the present time. Here he found a large field for usefulness, his pastoral duties having increased considerably. While he was pastor Allen chapel was completely remodeled at a cost of about $5,000, all of which is nearly paid off. During his five years' successful service in Indianapolis he enrolled on the books of the church membership over 100 names. His intelligence and unselfish devotion in all matters relative to the church and the amelioration of suffering charity, have won for him many friends inside the church. Fourteen years later, Mr. Murray married Miss Ella May Belcher, a graduate of the high school at Charlestown, Ind., and an accomplished Mr. Murray comes to Chicago cordially recommended by the church people and many representative men of Indianapolis. Prominent among them is the Governor, the Hon. James A. Mount. Mr. Murray is a preacher of the gospel pure and simple. He teaches "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," and is free from narrow sectarianism. The demand for such a ministerer than the supply therefore the members of BJD Church consider themselves fortunate in procuring a minister of his true.

What Girls Hate Most in Men In a recent issue of a London weekly its readers were invited to give an opinion as to what ten characteristics were considered to be the most hateful in men, and it was announced that the competition should be decided by the votes recorded. A very large number submitted opinions on the subject. The bad features of character in men, judging from the lists sent in, were many and varied; but, after a careful checking, it has been found that according to the votes of readers the following were the ten characteristics considered most hateful: 1. Drunkenness. 2. Cowardice. 3. Selfishness. 4. Conceit. 5. Meanness. 6. Laziness. 7. Deceit. 8. Untruthfulness. 9. Gambling. 10. Cruelty. Immense Encyclopedia The most voluminous encyclopedia work in the world is in the Berlin Anthropological Museum. It is in twelve hundred volumes, in Chinese. It embraces literature, philosophy, astronomy, natural science and industries. Each volume has one hundred to one hundred and fifty pages. Originally only one hundred copies were printed and those were not put on sale. But recently a new edition was put forth, which sells at $300 for the set. It is splendidly illustrated with maps and pictures. The largest private library in America was owned by the historian, H. H. Bancroft. It consisted of fifty thousand volumes, valued at $200,000. Girls in Greece. In Greece girls are betrothed at a very early age, and their dowry consists of household furniture and linen rather than money. Although most Greek girls are naturally very pretty, they begin to paint and powder from a very early age—the cheeks bright red, the eyebrows and lashes deepest black and veins delicately blue. The result is that they are withered old women of 40, and thus nowhere are uglier females to be found than beneath the blue skies of this classic land. Every Greek family who can afford to do so keeps a French nurse or maid, for French is almost universally spoken in society. Painting and music are quite unnecessary, but girls are carefully trained in dancing and drilled to conduct themselves with elegance. Lastly, household duties are taught—how to make rose jam, Turkish coffee and various delicate sweetmeats The Rev. Dr. George T. Purvis has been installed as pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. This is the church of which the late Dr. John Hall was pastor. During the last few months the congregation has raised over $40,000 for benevolent purposes. A Congregational minister at Iowa City inserted a four-column advertisement in a local evening newspaper recently, calling attention to his Sunday services. The advertisement shocked some of the more conservative people of Iowa City, but it resulted in an enlarged congregation. The United Presbyterian church synod recently passed a unanimous resolution in favor of a union with the Free church, Scotland, and it is said that the latter will pass a similar resolution during the present month and that a meeting to complete the union in a formal manner will meet in Edinburgh in October.
