TIX HEALTHY YOUNG AMERICANS IN THE NORNOR FUNDS DELIGHT Mrs. Roosevelt Has Always Entertained the Strongest Objection to Having Her Portrait in the Papers. The Republican national victory will have one result of which the American people are not fully aware, but upon which, nevertheless, they are to be congratulated, says the New York Tribune, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt has always entertained the strongest objections to having her portrait in the papers. As the wife of the governor of New York she has constantly refused to recognize any obligation arising from her position overcome this horror of publicity, but when the question was put to her lately whether, as the wife of the vice president of the United States she would not consent to be photographed for publication, Mrs. Roosevelt reluctantly admitted that in that case she would be obliged to do as the wives of other nigh federal officials do. Hence it may be expected that before long a new portrait will be added to the gallery of American women associated in the public regard with the chosen guldes of the nation's destinies. The family life of the present governess is New York. Indeed, has always been close to her husband, who himself appears to be as radically opposed as his wife to anything; in the least like a parade of his domestic virginity. He is a man who is keen for the admiration and entertainment of the world that reads and looks at pictures. Not many months ago he was a student at the University and forcible protest against the indifference of a man with a camera who inured upon the privacy of the Rosesevett. He may not be exactly what one would expect of a man whose life and standards of conduct are generally accepted as the norm. The Rosesevett is only Western in affairs of bromars, lilacs and firearms; in his home he is a Rosesevett, with the divided domestic ethics of old Dutch men. "I couldn't tell you much about the Roosevelt children, however much I liked them, although I visit frequently the family, "because I see very little of them, although I visit frequently Roosevelt has his friends to see him who wants to talk to them, he always has something he wants to talk to you about, you, and, while you’re there he doesn’t want to be bothered with his children. Wen he wants a romp with his children, Roosevelt is not interested in friends. That is the whole case in nature, the governor’s children are being up under a commendably old-fashioned regime, not unlike that of the men as Philip Schuyler, or, for that matter, in accordance with the old English rule that "little folks should be seen and not men as Philip Schuyler, or, for that matter, interviewer Mrs. Roosevelt has plainly expressed her disapprobation of anything which would have a tendency to make any importance to the public. That they have probed by this sensible view of life, they are reported on all the time to simply be in contact with them, whether at Albany or at their home country on Albany. They are reported on all the time to simply be in contact with young Americans, entirely without self-consciousness or even a suspicion of any right to fame on the score of being their As the remark of the family friend above quoted would seem to imply, there are times when the governor wants to take over the management of a terruption. It is a fact not always remembered by the numerous admirers of Teddy, the Rough Kider, that he himself was a great mattey yousster. According to his own account he could not keep up with children of his own age either in their playroom or in his great consolation for the weaker among his many juvenile admirers; it has probably had much to do with his insistence on the need for boys. He plays with them he becomes for the time one of them, just as in the Cuban trenches he worked with a man for several years for the time of his regimental rank. These children, of whom the public would like to hear so much, and of whom, for reasons which the public is bored with, tell, are Alice, who considers herself a grown-up now. Theodore, who was thirty years younger, is Ethel, nine years old; Archibald Bulloch, six and a half, and there is a significance about the girl's glimpse of her were not chosen for them at a venture or culled out of the pages of popular literature, explains itself—the third Roosevelt of the succession beginning with Theodore, the York merchant and importer of glassware, father of the present governor. Kermit one might suppose to be some ancient Holland name, taken from the region of the Netherlands, but note its origin may be, but the Marx, not Dutt-Cottie, not Teutonic-com-mer, not Dutt-Cottie, not Teutonic-com-mer, an ancestor in the quaint island of cats, and starting him in life with one presumably unique possession.

It has often been remarked that Gov. Roosevelt lacks much knowledge of the marmite Dutchman, and if oneook at the history there is found reason in plenty why the Dutch phlegm should have long ago been fully countervalued by successive emperors from French British and Iris sources. An Albany academy boy who never tires of singing the praises of his school was asked, "Is it true that young students all deserve go to your school? Tell us all about him." "Yes," said the boy, "he goes to our school and belongs to the matrashion, but he doesn't want to go there. You might be with him ever so often and never know from anything that he would say that he was the governor's son. He would always be about him the boys in the academy never knew it. He is always ready for a scrap and seems to enjoy that sort of life. He would go to school, for he is a nice boy, just the kind that wears well, and he would become one of the most popular students he reached the graduating class. Youngest Render. New York Col.

ISLAND OF FAMOUS "RIP" Bob Acres Station, La., is two miles from Jefferson Island, which is owned by Joseph Jefferson, the veteran American author. He bought the property a few years ago for a winter residence, and it was entirely by accident that he discovered, recently, that the piece of real estate in question was actually immense mass of solid salt—the largest block of salt known to exist anywhere in the world. It is of the utmost purity, and it is the only material of quality of table salt, without the slightest admixture of any other mineral, and its quality is such that one may take it to a restaurant through it, just as if it was so much glass. Apparently, the whole island, which is about 200 acres in extent, is underlaid by a depth of 100 feet or so. It was struck by a depth of 100 feet or so. We came across it while boring hopefully for mineral waters, and since then it has reached through a vertical distance of 2,100 feet of a mile directly downward, without reaching the bottom of it. This was the result of a yielding oil yielding oils, made it possible to study the material through its successive strata with the utmost accuracy. But there was a quality of the stuff, which throughout was pure crystalline table salt. WILDNESS OF MARSHIES. All the southern edge of the state of Louisiana is a wilderness of almost impenetrable watercans, the tidalwater canals, as they might be termed, which are called "bayous." The water comes in from the Gulf of Mexico with salt creeks and other semi-aquatic soils, so that there is every twenty-four hours. Nothing grows on these salt marsh lands except salt creeks and other semi-aquatic soils, so that there is every twenty miles from the coast the whole country is a dismal and unvarying level. On the edge of the marsh where the arable land meets the coast Along a straight line, running from northwest to southeast, a series of five peculiar-looking hills rise out of the marsh lands. They are called "islands," and they are the first to form a long, broad, and by marsh and not by water, and the one farthest toward the northwest is Jefferson Island. The others, strung out for a distance of fifty miles, are Petite Island, the first of the four Belle Isle. The last named is Anchafalaya bay, and is surrounded by bayous. On every one of these "islands," which are elevated from 80 to 250 feet above the ground, there are two deposits have been found at no great distance above the ground, similar to that of Jefferson Island, but less remarkable. The deposit on Petite Anse has been mined ever since 1852, and was considered to be without a real inundation recent discovery on the actor's property. WORTH AN ENORMOUS FORTUNE Like his favorite character, Rip Van Winkle, Mr. Jefferson warked up to find himself exceeding furious about his stature rather agreeably, however, in as much as he discovered himself to be the possessor of a block of salt worth an eight million dollars. He is as yet rather puzzled to the fact that he is not his useful mine, but before long doubtless it will be opened up in much the same way as the similar deposit on Petite Anse. The method adopted is very interesting, a very rich work 100 feet or so into the body of the salt, which is almost always a very rare one, and the body of the salt, with a long, the plickx being alded by blasting. A chamber thus made, 20 feet long, 75 feet wide and feeble, is a great, yet most of the most of salt mined without the use of a single stick of timbering. Pillars nine feet square are left between the two chambers, and as a given level has been worked out on this plan, the shaft is sunk another eight feet deep. The chambers is excavated in the same manner as the various rooms constructed by this process, with the arches of pure crystalline salt, present, and the arches of pure crystalline rock, present, the strong illumination of a calcium or electric light, a most impressive appearance, and the strong illumination in ordinary mines. They light easily in fancied to be the subterranean abodes of the mines. CONTINUOUS RIDGE OF SALT Now, the origin of the salt deposits described is a profound mystery, no satisfactory theory having yet been worked out by geologists. It is imagined that the five "islands" are merely humps, so to speak, on a continuous ridge of salt extending beneath the marshes from Atchafalaya bay, fifty miles northwest to Jefferson Island, and perhaps beyond. But how did such immense bodies of salt come to be deposited? And what is to account for the astonishing purity of the material? All other rock salt beds known in the United States have layers of salt from two to eighteen feet thick, alternating with limestone, sandstone, gypsum and other mineral strata, so that the product of the mines is more or less impure as it comes out. On the other hand, beneath Jefferson Island is found a block of solid salt more than 2,100 feet thick, and containing no impurity whatever. It is simple table salt of the finest quality, and that is all. The salt, after being dug out, is all washed through such processes as is available for various uses. The coarsest meat packers, principally by meat packers, the second most important are large employers in refrigerating and storing the four grades of higher fitness, produced by wither wheels, screening and blowing, the finest of all being cold for table use.

COMMON SENSE OF WHIST PLAYING With the coming of the long winter evenings the whist player naturally seeks the seclusion which a club grants, where the seasoned player finds outlet for his whist instinct and the novices an inflet, believing that the time is ripe for the two to get into the game together, have arranged an old-fashioned contest for the Gordon trophy for teams of four, in which the team captains, chosen from the club of that chest and that are expected to coach and encourage their team mates of inferior rank. The teams will receive much coaching—possibly curring as well—and a single concession to be the productive of an army of experts, but, in the case of the writer of this article hopes to do his share. The coaching of one team will probably, therefore, be upon following lines, and as there may possibly be many players who will be unable to take part in these contests, the team will write of some of the benefits, this outline of the proper handling of hands is addressed to them. It should be understood that is not a complete treatise on whist, but only a summary of the techniques or its development.

J. 10 and others comes under the fourth best combination. To this the writer shares the strong objection of this club and many other clubs as unbound. Briefly the suit may easily be made, while the clubs are available, whereas the lead of Jack or 10 establishes the suit on the second round. Again, K. J. 10 is manifestly a stronger club than Q. J. 10 and precious few good players advocate leading fourth best from this holding. The lead of the Jack is recommended. This gives another, but practically two, clubs to play against. The lead of 10 indies partner to hold up sex, with hope of catching king sex. Defe Defective Page ond hand; the load of Jack puts second, or opponent, holding ace and queen in a quandary whether to play ace or cover with queen, and make in certain the finesse not partner, the finesse not partner, and bad form. Third hand, on the contrary, should generally put up the ace, whether lead is from K. G. J. or K. J. 10, to leave command or the finesse in the suit with his partner. The echo in trump will indicate three oceans or more will be indicated holding up the lowest card until the third round. One of the strongest advantages of the three-card trump echo is its availability in every hand to give definite information. The space in this article is not limited to permit the extended discussion of the three-card trump echo have to come up in play the table. The plays under the heading of leader, second, third and fourth hand are general in their application, and cannot be rigidly adhered to under all circumstances not to be far in error. They are good form, whist, as in everthing else, there is what is known as "form", and as in boating or football the team playing in best form will generally be found to be the winning team, for whist is essentially Lenders. Open your loosest suit, in the absence of exceptional trump hands. Do not hesitate to open four trumps, with three each in the plain suits, even to an honor turned; follow the old rhyming rule slightly paraphrased: Mind well 'the rule for trump, you'll often need. them; When you hold have 'its seldom wrong to lead them. **Second Hand.** General Rule-Play low, unless your holding is such that you would lead a THE OUTSIDE ANT YOU TO BE DER PAUL REVERE N WE'RE COMIN. high card if you were the original leader, in which case play a highcard first round and be governed by the developments on the next round of the suit. For instance, holding K, Q, T, 2, play Q; if it holds the trick, play a lower on the second round of the suit as partner must have ace, and if he held only two cards your king would be sacrificed. Also holding Q, J and one small, play J; J, 10 and one small, play 10; 10, 9 and one small, play 9 first round and be governed by the development on the next round. The play J 10 or 9, as the case may be, and a lower one next round will not be construed by partner as a trump call, as it is not unnecessarily high. It is only an attempt to hold the trick and save partner's possible higher card. If 'jack' holds the trick first round, or course queen should be played second round to further save ace now marked in partner's hand; if he held only two cards, as in instance above, no loss would be made by queen and ace falling together, as queen would lose to king any how on third round. With the above queen, jack, etc., holding and two small play low first round same as if original leader. When second hand, a doubtful trick you see Don't trump it if you hold more trumpes than your discard in such a case tell partner as plainly as cards can speak, "I have at least four trumpes, none of the suit led, and this is the weakest of the other two suits," almost an expose. Sometimes later in the hand you can pass a doubtful trick regardless of the trumped trump held, and discard to advantage; if your right-hand opponent is trumping a suit of which you have but one left. It may be stated right here that third-hand winning the doubtful trick, in the majority of cases, will lead the suit you want, and this is where your partner must come. You will have with good geo-ward-hand play and prevent a no-obvious fussiness under your decision, weakness and leading through you. This illustrates one of the beauties of what and the force or the axiom, "Lead up to the weak and through the strong." This is good form. Cover supporting carbs led by opponents rather freely. Third Hand. Do not finesse in partner's suit except ace, queen. If you win the trick not too cheaply, return the suit unless you have a better suit, or unless your suit will not call on partner for us highest card in it, the idea being to allow him to retain his card of re-entry should his suit become established. If winning partner's lead, and holding trump strength, say four trumps, and with the other two suits well protected, lead the trumps without waiting for establishment of partner's suit. If more than four trumps, you can lead with less protection in the other two suits, and vice versa, with greater protection in the other two suits, you can lead trumps with less than four. In returning your partner's suit, follow the rhyming rule: When you return your partner's suit take palms to lead him back the best your hand contains. If you held not more than three at first; If you hold more, you may return the worst. If you hold the master card you're bound Watch the fall of the cards to determine if a third round should be played, lest an opponent be able to force yourself, this is not so much to be feared, for if too weak to lead trumps you are even enough to force the enemy. You can card unless you hold others in sequence above it. Let the lead be placed with card unless you hold others in sequence above it. The lead be placed with the most advantageable place for your hand. Fourth Hand Win the trick as bestly as possible and open your best suit. If your suit is the one just played, open your next best, if a trump lead is not warranted, either in regular manner if headed by ace, king or queen, or from the top or "forceal." TAMMANY DESTROYING ANGELS DEATH TO VICE OF DIS CRUSADE, SO YOU JUST GO Avoid "lead through" until late in the hand. It delays development of your own hands and takes no re-entry from adversaries, and is practically playing the role of a defender almost always wants partner to return soon as possible, and your do so only hits his game without cost of a re-entry card, and it almost invariably leads to immediate establishment of the suit with opponents without compensating gain. It is best to let opponents suit the game, and it is best to let opponents suit severely alone except for purpose of forcing partner. **Discards.** Follow rhyming rule: When you discard, weak suits you ought to As strong ones are too valuable to lose. This is reversed when opponents have shown preponderance of trump strength according to your lights, as you cannot be punished by your lights, as you are pelled to act on the defensive in other suits to prevent opponents bringing them in. If your partner and self have a preponderance of trump strength, discard from weak suits as every discard of a trump suit is as likely a loss of a trick. An "echo" is discard, or reverse discard as it is sometimes called gives your discard a negative effect; and may be used when you are unable to locate trump strength with partner or opponents when first compelled to discard. A "echo" in a suit partner is leading after trumps have been exhausted, is a call "for change of suit," signifying you can render no assistance and is especially valuable, if he has not been able to determine your suit before. Foreling. Generally do not force partner unless strong in trumps or in other suits, or unless both opponents have shown trump strength. Under above principles, if partner is strong, you can force both partners and do what forging is necessary after you have exhausted opponents of trump.

False Cards. But them from your play; they far more often deceive partner, than opponents.

COST OF SOUTH AFRICAN WAR DRIVER EXPENDITURES by England of Hundreds of thousands of the cost of the South African war has now so greatly exceeded the original estimates that the government has to make a definite calculation what it may ultimately amount to. The borrowing by the government by the banks is not being sustained, and heavy arrears, amounting to be paying for payment. Again the government has about $75,000,000 immediately borrowing power amounting to $30,000,000. Of the loans issued yet to be paid up, $40,000,000. Of the pay due the army and debts to contractors. The indirect cost has been estimated, and the indirect cost of the September last month the shrinking in value of the full quotes quoted on the London stock exchange had, the enormous figure of $250,000,000, the enormous figure of $250,000,000, the decline in the market value of consolons in the municipal stock and the equally marked in municipal stocks and williamsburg collages.

Already 600 worth of new guns have been placed, to follow up the increase of amount of which has been decided on. It is not, however, in England only that the direct cost of the war is making itself felt by the taxpayers. The shortage of revenue in Cæmoney in this year is estimated by the minister of finance, Sir John H. H.

Miss Nielsen's business manager, who has been observing the "crop reports" of the operatic stage for some years. Alice Nielsen hailed from the "prima donna belt," which is the valley of the Mississippi, and its tributaries, and in that territory was born nearly every living American prima donna of note. This is a rather remarkable assertion, but it is, nevertheless, an incontestable fact. And it is a fact, also, that has hitherto strangely passed unnoticed, although, worthy of the most earnest scientific thought and research by students of human phenomena. What is there about the great Pather of Waters that makes him assume the paternity of all our greatest singers? Is their musical inspiration in the song that he sings as he rolls in mighty majesty toward the gulf? Is there something in the climate of the fertile valley that is tribute to him that breeds melody in its inhabitants? Does the recund soil of this wonderful region possess virtues that generate vocal superiority in the human being who is born upon it, as well as richness and nutritiveness in the vegetation that it yields? We all accept without question the fact that Italy and Germany furnish a great majority of the world's grand opera singers, but were we to inquire the reason the reply would probably be that credit is due, not to the climate, but to the encouragement given to music and opportunities for musical study offered by the schools of the two countries. In the American Middle West, however, are very few conservatories of music, and it is doubtful whether any of our native prima donnaes received much of their early musical training anywhere except in the practical school of the stage. After they were able to earn their living as singers then, of course, they could have a proper vocal tuition. But it seems to be far from that something in the soil or some of the quality of the sea-graphical location of their blindingly queathed to them at nativity the priceless gift of voice. In other words, voices seem to have been inherited from and not developed by their environment. Some of the products of "the belt" are: Allee Nielson, Lillian Russell, Della Fox, Pauline Hall, Hilda Clark, Jesse Bartlett Davis, Dorothy Morton, Grace Golden, Emma Abbott, Helen Bertram and Virginia Earl. Allee Nielson, the young prima donna, who is now singing at the head of her own company, is a fair product of the Mississippi valley, for she was born at Nashville, Tenn., and spent the most of her years of life previous to going on the operatic stage in that city and in Kansas City, where the Kaw and Missouri meet. Lillian Russell was born on the banks of the Mississippi at Clinton, Ia., Nellie Leonard was her name while she was growing to womanhood in Chicago, with her she was taken by her parents while still yet young. St. Louis, as the largest city on the Mississippi, promising that something about the great river is productive of vocal talent, quite properly takes first place at the home of American opera singers and offers as its quota Della Fox, who first sought fame by going out from the old Della Fox as the child soubrette of the old Della Sketch club; and Dorothy Morton, the fine soprano, who is now singing in England. Pauline Hall, who has recently achieved distinction in vaudeville, was born in Cincinnati, on the banks of the Ohio, one of the Mississippi's biggest tributaries. At that time she bore the unpractical name of Schmittgall. Hilda Clark, the prima donna of the Bonnians, is a native of Leavenworth, on the west bank of big Western tributary, the Missouri. Halen Bertram, the prima donna of the Bonnians, is a native of Leavenworth, on the west bank of the Wabash, at Paris, Ill. Jessie Hartlett Davis, the great contralto of the Bonnians, and who made valuable debut here last week, while her husband the Bonnian, and who made 80 years past, is not a native of that city, as many people suppose, but was born on a farm on the Illinois river, in Grace Golden, the Castle Square Opera company's favorite, only adds proof to the original statement. She was born in Bonn, on the Illinois river, isn't on every map, but is on the Ohio river, near its junction with the Wabash, at late Emba Abbott, too, confirmed the assertion. She was born in Illinois, near it, but not just in the heart of theatergoers, comes dainty Virginia Earl, who proudly proclaims Chicago as her home. The captious one may say: "But these are not all our American singers." Quite often they are pretty nearly all the distinguishable voices ever, for argument, name a few more. Marguerite Reid, another prima donna of the orchestra, sang vocal favorite in London. Whereas And Louise Elsing, Cecil Elsing, Nellie Braggins and Fatmah Dlard—where did they first see the sun rise? Right on the Mississippii, at St. Louis. Catherine Linyard, Ada Somers and Mabella Baker are all natives of Illinois, while Jennie Dutton comes from Davenport, Io., and Mae St. John, the splendid contralto, from Richmond, Ind. Even Lulu Glaser, Francis Wilson's prima donna, claims as her birthplace a little town on the Allegheny river, a direct tributary of the Mississippii. As a final test, there was a new prima donna last season launched in an opera called "The Princess Chic." Perhaps she was the exception that proved the rule. Not a bit of it. Her name is Minne Methot, and the Mississippi bred her, too. She was born at Davenport, Io. That the stellar honors of the American light opera stage should be monopolized by women who are products of the country drained by the Mississippii or its branches is more than a coincidence. It is a peculiar fact that calls for investigation by those who profess knowledge WE YOU READ THE APPEAL THE APPEAL. ANATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

AFTERMATH Now that the campaign with its attendant excitement is a thing of the past; the election over and the result known, we can look calmly over the field, study deliberately the questions involved, see the danger we have escaped and thank God that the strong common sense, patriotism and courage of the better thinking people of the land led them with irresistable will to stamp Bryanism—which is synonymous with anarchy—with the broad seal of condemnation. Praise God we have escaped a danger more dire than any that has threatened our loved country since black and blind treason fired upon the Old Flag waving over Sumter. The ignorant and dangerous elements of our population were frenzied by the reckless, demagogic rhetoric of Bryan; inflamed to the danger point and made to believe that the respectable, well-to-do, honest pro- M. H. H. DR. DANIEL H. WILLIAMS, Imperial Regent of the Brotherhood Fraternal Insurance Company gressive people were naturally the enemies of the poor and laboring classes. No one save a blatant demagogue could use such language as Bryan, and the wonder is that his intemperate and fiery invectives—like those of Marat and Danton—had not set loose furies that only blood could appease. We firmly rely upon that "Providence which shapes all our ends,rough hem them as we may." American voters and this may of Indiana as well and they to swell the overwhelming men in New York, Ohio and Illinois. All credit to the Afro-A voters; they can be relied upon ever the country is in peril. This country has lost one brightest men in the death of States Senator Cushman K which occurred Tuesday even Just as it was necessary to fire upon Sumpter to unite the loyal people in defense of country and our imperiled institutions; so the dangerous heresies of the loud-mouthed demagogue of the Platte aroused the patriotic people and they united to sweep him and his anarchistic followers out of existence. Supreme egotist as he is, he thinks that he possesses statesmanship and with the audacity of the hair-brained crank who imagines that he has a mission to perform, dashes forward, stumbling and falling like a blind donkey in a stone quarry, to destruction. Had he been elected, God only knows what would have become of us. But this danger is behind us for the time. May it never loom up again. "THE COLORED TROOPS FOUG HT NOBLY" During the war of the Rebellion, whenever there was a serious engagement in which the "colored troops" were engaged, the testimony invariably was, "The colored troops fought nobly." In the great battle of the ballot the other day, when the honor, the glory, and credit of the nation were at stake, to their credit be is said: The Afro-American voted nobly. Composing particularly in the Southern states, the poorer class of laboring population, appealed to by the demagogues and by some base apostles of their own race to vote for Bryan and free silver, they spurned the other and rolled up an immense majority for McKinley. Maryland was saved by the Afro- a warm, genial disposition and was as accessible to those of the lower walks of life as to those of the highest. Even an Afro-American—the worst combination that one can possibly have in his composition in this country, and, in this country only—was assured of courteous, kind, fair treatment at his hands. We, therefore, for this latter reason as well as for the former, regret his death just THE NATURAL MISTAKE. American voters and this may be said of Indiana as well and they helped to swell the overwhelming majorities in New York, Ohio and Illinois. All credit to the Afro-American voters; they can be relied upon whenever the country is in peril. This country has lost one of its brightest men in the death of United States Senator Cushman K.

We also extend our heart-felt sympathy to his estimable widow who, like her honored husband, frowns not upon those upon whom fortune has not smiled. May the healing hand of time smooth away the sorrow of her heart until the grim monster who now separates her from her life partner sees fit to join them in the happy beyond. Fred W. Upham, president of the Board of Review, launched a mayorally boom for Graeme Stewart at the monthly dinner of the Marquette Club. Mr. Upham said: "Put a man at the head of the affairs of the city that will give us a good, business administration and not a man of destiny. We have plenty of revenue from the taxes to run the government if it is not run by such men as 'Bobby' Burke. We should nominate such a man, and you know to whom I refer. It is Graeme Stewart." Mr. Stewart is a good, clean man, and he would give a good business administration. Mr. Stewart has many friends among the Afro-Americans of the city who would rejoice greatly to see him the chief executive of Chicago. The Old Tippecanoe Club of Chicago has memorialized President McKinley and Congress in behalf of the disfranchised Afro-Americans of the South. The committee was composed of the Rev. F. W. Hanson, Alexander A. Kevan and Azra A. Brown, men who were active in electing William Henry Harrison in 1840.

American Book Company, New York, Chicago and Chicago. Manual training is now recognized as a most important factor in education as it gives a true dignity to labor and calls attention to the place of KICKED THE W hand-work in human progress. As civilization goes on it will undoubtedly have a higher status than higher in the hearts of the people. Mr. Charles H. Hahn was one of the first and foremost advocates of introducing manual training into our public schools to help him develop in due a time measure the marketable process of this system throughout the country. THE PRIMA DONA BELT (Continued From Page.) of the evolution and development or our It is said of hymns, and it is more true, perhaps, than of any form of poetry, that their origin to some sudden imminent inspiration has been great "Te Deum," that poem of Christianity, is said to have been first sung at the baptism of St. Augustine. And it was written by Augustus the Athenian and his sailors sang when they raided the flag of Spain on American shores. "Rock of Ages," a hymn that has been written by Augustus Tophany in 1783, author's life was a troubled one; his creed underwent changes; and his temper was fiery. The better part of his life was to have blossomed forever in his hymn. Sarah Fuller composed the famous hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee." A mother of a large family, burdened with many cares, was observed to walk each day to a grove where she spent a walk with her neighbors and friends wondered how a busy with so many household duties could find time to take her solitary walks each day. That woman was Pheobe Brown, and "I Love to Steal Away," was the result of these meditations. Dr. Wm. Hunter, when a member of the old Pittsburgh Methodist-Episcopal church, was located in the city of Pittsburgh, where she heard a sweet voice of a child singing a song which was familiar to all patrons of the low theaters. The melody was an attractive one, and the child was golden-haired, a boastful oocistic fancy of the doctor was shocked to learn from the lips of an innocent child—beautiful as an artist's dream of an angel. He at once composed the words of the hymn, "Joyfully, Onward We Move," which was set to the music of the song he heard had "Just As I Am, Without One Plea," as written by Miss Charlotte Elliot, of England. It was very curious, the wizard she came to compose it, a clergyman asked, "Were you a Christian? She replied that she felt unworthy to approach the Lord. But come just as you are," he said to her, "you touched her, and she put them into form for the world, known to Christians all over the world. "Just As I Am, Without One Plea."

The rudder of a ship is a stern necessity. It's a poor seed that isn't stronger than the soil. Other people must die in order that the undertaker may live. Talent resembles a deep wall; genius resembles a fountain. On with the merry dance. The old hen is engaged for every set. Some men's understanding is limited only by the size of their feet. When a man is down his enemies stop kicking him and his friends begin. Don't pull up on the road to success and wait for the other fellow to go ahead. Cattle are dumb animals, but by getting together they manage to make themselves herd. A young husband calls his wife "Birdie," because she is always associated in his mind with a bill. If a politician has the courage of his own convictions he never hesitates when asked to name his price. Some political speakers remind one of a hallstorm on a tin roof; they make a lot of noise, but produce no impression. One hears a great deal about labor reform, but a greater need is the reformation of some of those fellows who don't labor. Darwin tells us there was a time when man walked on all fours. He probably alludes to that period in early life when he approached a neighbor's melon patch from the rear.

"Meats rich automotive's his balmy bath, That supplies lubricates, and keeps in play. The various movements of this nice machine, Which asks such frequent periods of repair." One love drives out another. One wolf does not bite another. Sell publicly and buy privately. Luck comes to those who look after it. Wind and good luck are seldom lasting. He who talks much is sometimes right. The fault is as great as he who commits it. Not to wish to recover is a mortal symptom. He who has but one coat cannot lend it. He who does not speak, God does not hear. He who always tells me a lie never cheats me. He who does not show himself is overlooked. If you want to be revenged, hold your tongue. He that has no ill-luck grows weary of good-luck. The more you court a clown the statelier he grows. He who eats his fowl alone may saddle his horse alone. A man that is lean, not from hunger, is harder than brass. He who does not mix with the crowd knows nothing. He who does no more than another is no better than another. Seat yourself in your place and you will not be made to quit it. No wonder if he breaks his head who stumbles twice over one stone. To be a merchant, the art consists more in getting paid than in making sales. Whether the pitcher strike the stone or the stone the pitcher, woe be to the pitcher. He that is more, civil than usual, either wants to cozen you or has need of you. Who lends recovers not; or if he recovers, recovers not all; or if all, not much; or if much, a mortal enemy. THE TRUTH ABOUT ALCOHOL. Alcohol is oxidized rapidly in the body. Alcohol, not being useful, is not stored in the body. All medical men advise healthy persons to avoid alcohol altogether. All connoisseurs advise people to avoid taking alcohol into the empty stomach. The use of alcohol, in common with narcotics in general, is followed by a reaction. Alcohol is a product of decomposition of food in the presence of a scarcity of oxygen. When used habitually it is likely to induce an uncontrollable desire for more in ever increasing amounts. The young, developing'individual is always advised to abstain from alcohol. (See Atwater's Chicago address.) After its habitual use a sudden total abstinence is likely to cause a serious derangement of the central nervous system. A certain quantity will produce a certain effect at first, but it requires more and more to produce the same effect when the drug is used habitually. Alcohol is an excretion, and, in common with all excretions, is poisonous. It may be beneficial to certain phases of the disease but is never beneficial to the healthy body. The use of alcohol is followed by a disease in the activity of the muscle cells and the brain cells—Winfield S. Hall, M. D., in Union Signal. SAYINGS OF BABES. "What's a famile, Tommy?" asked the Sunday school teacher of a small pupil. "It's a cob what ain't got no corn on it," replied the youthful philosopher. "I don't like our doctor," said small Bobby. "Why not?" asked his aunt. "Because," answered the little fellow, "I caught a cold bad enough to keep me out of school two weeks and the mean old doctor went and cured it in two days." "Mamma," said 5-year-old Nellie, "I'd like to ask your advice about something. "What is it, dear?" queried her mother. "After I get through school what would you advise me to do while I'm waiting to be married?" asked the little miss. Little 4-year-old Willie had been told repeatedly that he must never ask for anything at the table, but should wait patiently till he was served. One day while dining at a neighbor's with his mother the little fellow was accidentally overlooked. Patience finally ceased to be a virtue and in an audible whisper he said: "Mamma, do little boys go to heaven when they starve to death?" RAM'S HORN BLASTS. Salt in the sermon may smart, but it will heal. Success is not in what you have but in what you are. It itakes more than high price to make a thing highly precious. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR It's love that makes the world go ruined. Love to a woman is a thrill; to a man it is a throb. Every man is afraid of his dentist and every woman is afraid of her minister. A woman never knows what she hasn't found till she knows what she has lost. Celebrity is finding out what the world wants and then making it think you have got it. By the time a man has learned to know women he is able to make a guess at himself. Women like babies the best, but most any man would rather have another fox terrier. Every woman over thirty years knows a lot of weather signs that she gets from the way a cat acts. The happiest people in the world are the ones who haven't got any time to go around thinking how miserable they are. A woman can do more with a hairpin and the handle of an old tooth brush than a man can with a tool chest and three old clocks. A woman divides all the men in the world into two classes; those she knows she can flirt with and those she isn't sure about yet. When a woman first falls in love with a man she tries to make him believe that she never eats like other people, but just pecks at things. When a woman is out calling on people that she thinks are fashionable, it always makes her mad to hear her husband talk about "veal pot-ple." The women who can't stand the healthy smell of a cigar most always have some perfumery on that makes a man sick.—New York Press. ODDS AND ENDS. More people are engaged in agriculture than in any other British industry. The tailors and shoemakers in Vienna are mostly of Bohemian descent. The cost of the extra session of the Michigan legislature, recently closed, was $17,000. The center of pressure of a body of water is at two-thirds the depth from the surface. Fort Ross in Sonoma county, California, was established by the Russians in 1811. The roots of the southern pine are often so resinous that they will burn like a torch, without splitting or drying. In writing poetry "tho" and "thro" are abbreviations of "though" and "through" and are recognized in phonetic spelling. During the present century 400 human lives, $125,000,000 and 200 ships have been lost in fruitless efforts to find the north pole. The military spirit aroused by our recent war shoys itself in dress by the form that ornaments take. Regimental' buckles for waistbands are much in demand. The first mention of money in the Scriptures is Abraham's purchase of a pulsher for four hundred shekels of silver, B. C. 1860. Genesis xxiii:3-9-16. THE TRUTH ABOUT FOOD. All foods are oxidized slowly in the body. The use of foodo is followed by no reaction. All foods, being useful, are stored in the body. No medical men advise healthy persons to avoid food. People are universally advised to take food into the empty stomach. The young, developing individual is always advised to partake bountiful of food. All foods are products of constructive activity of protoplasm in the presence of abundant oxygen. The habitual use of a food never induces an uncontrollable desire for it in ever increasing amounts. After its habitual use a sudden total abstinence never causes any derangement of the central nervous system. A certain quantity will produce a certain effect at first, and the same quantity will always produce the same effect in the healthy body. All foods are formed by nature for nourishment and are by nature wholesome and always beneficial to the healthy body, though they may injure the body in certain phases of disease. The use of food is followed by an increase in the activity of the muscle and brain cells—Winfield S. Hall, M. D., in Union Signal. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Egyptian mummies are dry subjects. The product of a tight shoe or of an oak tree is a-corn. A woman will pardon want of sense quicker than want of manners. There is more style about some boarding houses than there is grub. If you would be paid according to your own idea of your worth, get necessary. Some people talk a long time before you can get at what they are trying to say. Eve was the first woman, and probably the last, who did not gather up her skirts and scream at the sight of a mouse. Great Discovery in Surgery. Dr. J. P. Murphy, who has just returned to Chicago, Ill., from the triennial meeting of the International Medical association in Paris, brings back a report of the discovery and demonstration by Dr. Tuffier of France of local anaesthesia in major and surgical operations. "Dr. Tuffier operated on four cases," said Dr. Murphy. "Cocaine was injected into the region occupied by the cerebo-spinal fluid in the spine, and anaesthesizing perfectly the entire body below the point of injection. This enabled him to perform the most painful operations without the patient experiencing the least sensibility. The discovery is a wonderful one in surgery, inasmuch as out of 130 cases operated upon by him he had no fatalities. The possibility of anaesthesizing the spinal cord by hypodermic injections of cocaine and producing insensibility below the point of injection was discovered by Dr. Tuffier in March last.

BETWEEN INNEMARKER ROAD Defective Page DRUG-TAKING HABIT. Besides the abuse of drugs in rheumatism and its sad results, another serious abuse of the same kind was discussed at the session of the International Medical Congress at Paris, says the New York Post. This is the present fashion of taking laxative medicine in large quantities and in almost infinite variety. Several distinguished specialists from Germany attributed to this habit, which is common in nearly the whole world, the origin of several intestinal affections practically unknown before our generation and which are spreading. One of these, a muco-membranous affection of the intestines, is a most puzzling pathological condition. A number of physicians attributed the present prevalence of constipation, which is primarily responsible for the new fashions in laxatives, to an insufficiency of fat in the modern dietary. The frying pan has gone out of fashion, to the benefit of digestion, to ways and means of supplying the fats that used to be consumed with the fried material have not been forthcoming. The present generation is distinctly an eater of sweets, not of fats, but while the former supply the heat that would be obtained from the fats, they do not supply certain lubricant qualities which are so important for the proper performance of the intestinal functions. The use of the milk fats, that is, butter and cream as well as milk itself was recommended, as this form of fat is somewhat deletable. The use of the vegetable oils, olive oil and the like, in larger quantities than at present was also recommended. It was pointed out that the southern nations have learned to take their quantum of fats in this way despite their warmer climate, which makes fat generally less acceptable as food. It was reported from several sources that in many painful conditions of the stomach olive oil gave great relief. AN IRISH JUDGE. Sallies of Wit from a Jurist with a Brogue. Lord Morris, always a wit and now a distinguished judge, comes from Galway and has never lost the mellifluous brogue of West of Ireland folk. One day he was sitting at the Four Courts as lord chief justice of Ireland, when a young barrister from the north rose nervously to make his first motion. The judge had declared that no one listening to himself would ever take him for anything but an Irishman, which was perfectly correct. But Galway could not understand Antrim. The lord chief justice leaned over to ask the associate where the barrister hailed from. "County Antrim," was the response. Then asked his lordship of the official: "Did ye Iver come across sich a frightful accint in the course of yer loife?" At another time it fell to his听 to hear a case at Coteraine, in which damages were claimed from a veterinary surgeon for having poisoned a valuable horse. The issue depended upon whether a certain number of grains of a particular drug could be safely administered to the animal. The dispensary doctor proved that he had often given eight grains to a man, from which it was to be inferred that 12 for a horse was not excessive. "Never mind yer eight grains, doctor," said the judge. "We all know that some poisons are cumulative in effect, and ye may go to the edge of ruin with impunity. But tell me this: The 12 grains—wouldn't they kill the civil himself if he swallowed them?" The doctor was annoyed and pompously replied, "I don't know, my lord; I never had him for a patient." From the bench came the answer: "Ah, no, docter, ye nivir had, more's the pity! The old bhoy's still aloive."—London Telegraph. IRISH HERALDRY. Knowledge of It Not Monopolized by People with English Ancestors. Knowledge of heraldry, which occupies people with ancestors from England and the continent, is not monopolized by them. The Irish in this country have crests and coats of arms more authentic and elaborate than many we see on carriage doors and fashionable note paper. Every Irish surname of any account, whether of the milesian stock—the "Macs" and "O's" or the Anglo-Norman or of the Elizabethan reign, has its insignia. During Ireland's years of oppression these were lost, and many are utterly unknown to the descendants of the original bearers, says the New York Telegraph. The fatal battle of Aughir, fought on the property of the County Galway, was doom to the ancestral pomp and glory of the O'Kelly, and they scattered all over Europe, went into the continental armies and outfought the natives every time. The Kelly crest is a weird animal, called an enfield, having the head of a fox, the mane of a horse, chest of an elephant, forelegs of an eagle, body of a greyhound and tail of a lion. The motto in Latin is "God is to me a tower of strength." Forefather of the Shea family was a swifer for his crest and underneath a white shield dotted with red fleur-de-lis. The Burkes were a Norman-Irish tribe. Their flag was of ermine, white, spangled with black, like the trimmings of a judicial robe. In the center was a large red cross, in the upper left quarter a black lion and in the opposite, corner a black hand. The name Burke comes from the same root as "burgh," meaning town, and the tribe originally descended from Norman settlers in Ireland of the goodly French name De Burgho, meaning "of the town." The Ryans and MacNamaras have coats of arms more authentic and far more beautiful than many of the folk with "Van," before their names. That of the Ryans, or O'Mullians, as they were originally called, is especially fine. Holly leaves and griffin heads were distributed over a blood-red shield.
