THE SHOTGUN MAKER'S ART The process of manufacturing gun metal and making it into gun barrels for sheaths may be classed as one of the past fifteen years has witnessed marked improvements in it. At one time gunmakers depended entirely for their material upon the supply of scrap, of fine iron and mild steel, such as the metal clippings of saws,钢 pens and scraps, great and small, of all kinds. The pieces were carefully sorted and placed in a cylinder which, revolving, kept the metal nutritious one against the other. They were then cut into small pieces of uniform size and placed in a furnace until at a white heat er state of fusion, in them they were gathered together in a bloom and were welded into a rough cube of iron. This cube was rolled into bars and the bars cut into the lengths required, bundled together and again brought to a welding heat. They were then hammered into the bars, which were inch square, or smaller or larger, as required by the barrel weller for the work in hand. At one time fine Damascus bars were made almost entirely from old coach springs. It was found that this metal would make very good compression from "greys" or the specks that disfigure bars, but do not impair their strength. It was thought that the peculiar wear to which the fine metal in the coach springs was worn was particularly to fit it for gun barrel material. As the years rolled on the demand for coach springs exceeded the supply, until at last gun barrel metal was made from a mixture of pig metal of the same composition and steel in twist. Damascus, laminated and plain steel are produced amply strong for all the uses for which the shotgun is intended. Inferior metal scraps of all kinds are used in making the barrels of the rifle. Damascus barrel must be made up from the very best of material, and the most expensive steel and iron that can be produced is incorporated in the best material, twist. Damascus or laminated work. The pig iron first is placed in a furnace and reduced to a fluid state. This operation cleanses is from all dross. It is then heated to a temperature is going down it is gathered and worked into blooms. It then goes to the steam hammer, under which it assumes the shape of square blocks. It then passes through various rods and tubes to reach the length are obtained. The hammering has condensed the metal and eliminated many of the impurities. The rolling has augmented its tenacity and the strength of the fibers. The mild steel to be used in connection with the fine iron is prepared in a similar manner and is made from the best Swedish pig iron and beaten under the repeated heating, hammering and rolling. In these operations of preparing and refining the steel and iron, says the New York Sun, there is a constant loss of metal. The loss in steel is about 10 per cent, and in rolling 12 per cent. The bars being now ready, are cut into equal lengths, bundled together, put into the furnace, heated and welded and elongated by rolling into rods. This process of heating, rolling and welding has been used five to seven times in the operation of making good and first quality gun barrels. The quantity of mild steel used in good Damascus is about 60 per cent, and of iron the amount has been determined on rods of each metal five-eighths of an inch square are bundled together, steel and iron rods being sandwiched. The bundle is then brought to a white heat and the successive layers of iron and steel are bundled together, steel and iron rod. The rod is again heated and placed in a machine for the purpose and (twisted into rope ferm it until it has from ten to fifteen turns to the inch. If a fine figure is desired from four to ten ropes, the ropes are bundled together, and by twisting down, produces fine damascus work. This severe twisting has shortened the rod to the desired length and increased its thickness 40 or 50 per cent. Two of these rods are now placed side by side, and the rods are placed opposite directions, reheated and welded into one and rolled into a flat rod or ribbon of, say half an inch by seven-sixteens of an inch for the breech ends of the barrels and half an inch for the barrel ends. The barrels or tubes are made in two parts, and in the operation of welding, called jumping, they are brought together in the middle. These rods are again heated and twisted in the barrels, and the rods are brought to a white heat, and, glowing under the master hand is, by a quick and soft movement, jumped on the anvil and the open colls welded together. The tubes are immediately placed on a ground and hammered lightly to form them. The muzzle and breech ends of the barrels having been thus welded separately the next operation is to join them together. This is a very neat and intricate task and perfectly performed. On first-grade barrels it would require the inspection of an expert to detect the jolnure, the whole tube from breech to muzzle presenting the appearance of being made from one coiling of rods. The ends of the two coils are heated to a temperature just above the tap on the anvil and the welding is completed. In all the operations of heating, hammering, twisting and rolling, the metal has been in the fire from seven to ten times, and under each manipulation the temperature increased density and difficulty resulting in an exceedingly tough and wonderfully homogeneous product. The tensile strength of good gun metal is enormous. There is a consumption of from fourteen to seventeen pounds of gun metal in a portion of 12-gauge barrels that will weigh when finished, from three and a half to four and a half pounds. It has been estimated that a ton of prepared gun metal of good grade is worth $300 per pound. The gun barrels are state, therefore, that gun barrels are expensive to produce. Gun barrels are made from two or more or red bars of different kinds of metal. Twist barrels may be made from one or more rods. When one red it is simply coiled and welded. The breech-loader, whether for traps or field work, must be light, so as to handle quickly, thereby reducing the time required a minimum, at the same time sufficient for a minimum amount of powder. Hence, if the barrels are light, they must at the same time be strong; all of which is obtained by working the metal in the manner desired. The barrels are beautiful to the eye. The mild steel and the fine iron, being joined so intimately and regularly, form a beautiful curled figure in the Damascus and the limestone. This figure is but fallible in the bright metal. It is only when the barrels are brought to a high polish and subjected to the browning of the metal it is brought out. The dark lines show the barrels. The two blended, and running regularly, look not unlike a piece of lace work. A fine gun is made by skiffle hands. Expert workmen get the barrels from a skilled sidered that the price-piece upon medium and fine guns-to-day is not exorbitant. During the past ten years or so, laminated steel has fallen in disuse gun barrels to an appreciable extent. There is not a manufacturer of gues but has from time to time to wrestle with a customer on the subject of a bursts usually occur at or very near the muzzle, no matter how fine the material or what the style of figure in the barrel. The usual cause of these bursts is the muzzle, and the source carelessness on the part of the shooter in not observing the muzzle to detect mud, sand, snow or other foreign substance that finds lodgement during a day adduced. To illustrate the great strength of good gun metal in resisting pressures, the following experiments are of interest. the conditions, being excessive the conditions, being through a barrel that had been bored through a degree of lightness that a little tap with a flag handle would indent the metal. Indeed, so thin was the barrel that it had the appearance of a film of black powder measured by Dixon's No. 1.106 measure, the burst did not occur until a six and one-half drs. charge was fired. The powder was increased half a dr. until the bursing was burst under other conditions of pressure. The barrel yielded to the force two and one-half inches from the muzzle and was opened four and one-half inches, the shot charge reached the maximum, the pattern quite up to the standard of the boring; an ounce and a quarter of No. 7-12 shot was used in the experiments. It is interesting and instructive to know that the conditions causing such bursing were the same of the gun before the powder gas has destroyed the power of the barrel. Some years ago another metal created interest among gunmakers. It was called silver steel. It is obsolete it contained scrups of steel of fine quality and from which the tubes were made were seven-eighths of an inch wide. A figure was made by the welding marks of these seven-eighths strips. At one time a Birmingham gunmaker advertised the called silver steel Damascus. It was used in ordinary Damascus and not superior to the latter. Figured gun barrels are not made in America. During the past twelve years there has been gradually introduced among the plain steel barrel and at home the plain steel barrel, the figure or twat, the vernicelli curl of Damascus or the wavy figure of laminated steel. It is absolutely plain, and is finished up deep black or black-blue. Two gun concerns in America include the import the barrels in the rough. American firm as far back as 1874-used plain steel barrels of its own manufacture, and to-day it employs them in an improved form in its fine guns. Other American gun companies included tubes in good and very fine guns. American gunmakers are much in favor of plain steel barrels, and are turning out some beautiful guns at very moderate prices. It will be many years before a barrel will entirely supplant Damascus for gun barrels. The beautiful curled, figurelike lace-work marking the ramifying fiber of the metal is dear to the sportsman's heart. The motion of the shotgun from the wheel-lock to the present hammerless gun is remarkable and interesting. The modern breech-loader, with its cartridge made-up, with one of the nitro-cellulose (bulk) smokeless power guns, is a shotgun and chilled shot, is an extremely powerful weapon. It is handy and comfortable to use and safe to handle. Accidents have decreased fully 90 percent since the general introduction of the breech-loader and those that do occur can, as a rule, be attributed to carelessness.

He went over to an onengun case, and, selecting first one of the two, he pointed at the point under discussion, he began a series of performances wonderful to behold. "I has always seemed peculiar to me," he remarked, "that most men stand facing their antagonist full front. Bloac Acer has a possible surface to the opponent. Moreover, when one stands firmly with the feet a little apart, the toes pointed out and the head turned well to the left, his pose is steadier. Again, if the palm of the hand is speed and the gun well balanced, the shoulder is much less tension, than in the usual mode of holding the piece. "Most men pull the trigger with the index finger of the disengaged finger. If you will try the second finger you will find it to control and enable one to further steadie a aim with the thumb and index finger." Then the speaker threw open a window and said: "Which blade of grass shall I cut?" As some one looked incredulous, the minister smiled in return and added: "Perhaps you cannot distinguish one from another, but I tossed a shot smaller than a French pea in sidewalk in the yard.

It seemed as if the shooter had not power, but he did. "Oh well, that is not always necessary," retorted the minister, laughing. "I'll hold the rifle in one hand, waist high, and see if I cannot put another bullet through the aperture made by that gun. Then he had reloaded cocked and fired the rifle in a trice and the second bullet had followed the first." The archer does not aim, he knows the aim of his arrow. He and his instrument are rapport and the shaft pierces the bullets. So it should be to-day with modern weapons." Then he whirled the rifle under his legs and another bullet through the tiny matchbox. Leaning over and looking through his legs, with his head almost on the floor.

"Yes, involuntarily, of course, but still I fancy we did not miss the mark altogether." Stooping down, he picked the box on the floor and pointed smilingly to the door. "Well, I am afraid Shall we try again? Perhaps the next one will go straight." "N-no," ejaculated the William Tell subject. "The ne- neck was straight enough. Very good shot, indeed." "Perhaps you would be kind enough to help me, but if I cannot split it," turning to another gentleman in the party, "I will fire at your command, Mlleuset." Ping! Again the alm was true, and if this card was held by a knife mirror holding a small hand mirror in his hand, the minister hit his billyse with the certificate and accuracy of a clock ticking on the seconds. Extinguishing a lighted match and exploding a cartridge half embedded in a box behind behind it was still another diversion. Yet more wonderful was the simultaneous shooting of two sparrows, fifty or sixty feet apart, as they pecked at little mounds of grain. Sighting first one pistol and then the other, the markman, standing midway between birds, shot both at the same instant. He never uses a shotgun in hunting, believing bullets are more humane. "A bullet kills instantaneously," he said, "while shot scatter and malm."

The Brazilian minister's brothers are all good shots, but neither his nor their talent in this direction is inherited, for his father was not conspicuous for his ability as a marksman. On the extensive paternal ranch not very far from Rio Senhor Brasil learned to ride and shoot, and, finding he had considerable aptitude in gunnery, he practiced ardently. At school and college he divided his time between the classics and cartrilages. Today his library and his guncase are his especial delight. English, French, Spanish and Portuguese classics line the walls of the big granite home of the Brazilian embassy; Bryce's "American Commonwealth," Flske's histories, Whately's logic and all the familiar standard works, too, bear evidence of his acquaintance. Perhaps the most astonishing feat of dexterity he performs with fly matches without the aid of a gun. He calls it his gun carrage demonstration.

The "barber, like the woman, is a victim of tradition. When the patriarchs sacrificed their beards, the barber made a reputation for laquency, and he can't live without it. He helped on the slaughter, and to-day, if all barbers were chosen from deaf mute institutions, they would still be set down as talkers of first rank. The modern barber is a silent man. He hasn't time to talk, and his victim hasn't time to listen. In the good old days when tradition was made, nobody was in a hurry. A man took his razor or scissors and petted entertainment them in with the towels and the lather. The barber poised his razor, or scissors, in midair, and launched into ally percussion or golden economies and orations on sociology, stanzas. At least, that is what he does in historical novels. Occasionally, he still does it in the funny puns, but one could to think of the customer's contribution to the system as applied to real life. When a business man allows himself twelve minutes for lunch and a shave, he hasn't time for intellectual refreshments, and his barber knows it. The barber's brain and soul may be seeking with it an muggle inglorious Milton. It is only in his hours of ease that the up-to-date barber's soul expands and he goes in for the gentle art of conversation, says an observant chronicle connected with the New York Sun, but to know him in his moments of realization to realize how much simple enworship he must give. There was a man who was shaved by the same barber every day for two years, and never got further along in the acquaintance that sentences of six words. Then one night, he looked across a concert garden table, and through a cloud of familiar faces that seemed strangely backward and compose its features. Then he sat up and said: "How are you, Smith? What'll you "How are you, Smith? What'll you have?" that preliminary lather, conversions it glided as smoothly as Smith's razor. It was thinking, "sir" said the barber, "that it's a funny world." The man agreed to the proposition. "Now, why would a man deliberately to work and show every tascily trac he his, when he could cover it up? A man can't keep his secret behind a smooth and don't see why, nowadays, where everybody is laying himself out to do everybody else, men are going in for smooth faces." In "it's in order that the barber and his property may be preserved to us," suggested the man. "Not on your life. If the Lord were looking out for the barber, he'd stop this guy. Did it happen, No, sir; it's a funny thing. Did it happen, he has a man?" "I occasionally felt nervous." "Well, that's no fun. You know how bad you are before you start in; but, I tell you, shaving a strange man with a haircut into his soul and having it cut into a stubble on the queercest things in my business. Someway or other, after a man has been clean shaven for a while, he starts into work ordering and puts up a man's haircut when he has always worn a beard and has been watching his mouth and chin they give him away in great shape. The barber gives the first revelation and its interesting thing. I've shaved men when I felt as if I'd opened private letters or read a diary. "I often wonder how some men have to go to home to their wives or to nurse them after their first clean shaves. Do you have? I'd like to have two pictures of every bearded man I've ever shaved, one picture of him as a boy, at the time of his birth, another of him taken when he had his hair cut, wearing a beard or mustache for years. That'd be interesting reading. Of course some men always have worn worn smooth faces they've kept an eye on their mouths and limbs and taught them to tell tales." The man drank his beer reflectively and stroked his mustache. Incidentally he made up his mind that if he ever had her persuasion and sacrificed that mustache he'd go to a less observant barber. "Why are the men all going in for smooth faces?" he asked. "Heaven knows, I don't. It's the style, but I don't know how it started. The actors and the waiters used to have it to be a bit more formal when a man comes in I don't know where he comes to Hamlet or shovels saisons or wrecks railroads. Even the speculators and other gamblers shave smoothly now, and the men don't course they cultivate a sort of habit, but what's the use when a beard would do all the work? The only fellow who has a right, to wear smooth face is a man with a fine, strong chin and clean eyes, and he doesn't fly around, he doesn't and he doesn't fly around, the men with receding chins, and weak upper lips and projecting teeth and ugly lines at their mouth corners ought to be by law to grow brows. It's like this, you can't stamp it out but you at least might cover it up and prevent its exposure." "Don't you think it's a squarer deal and a safer for the general public if concealed weapons are prohibited?" the man inquired, looking around at the little girl then coming back to the keen-eye little man across the table from him. "Well, perhaps so. Everybody has the same start then. Odds are even, so to speak. But it's inartistic. It's damn a professional taste looked out through unimpaired eyes. Oh, if you are going in for esthetics "Exactly so." The man had wondered whether Smith would know what aesthetics were. Smith did. "Exactly so. No one has a right to be uglier than a mature, nature provided beards to cover up inherself oped uglierness. Now look at that man at the next table. Wouldn't that dimple in his chin and those flabby lips of his queer a Sunday school superintendent? You have got forehead and nose and an artistic mustache, and a Van Dyke down on him and he'd mow the women down in solid battalions." "Evidently the razor was invented for $2.40 PER YEAR. the preservation of the fair sex," murmured the man, but the barber was riding his hobby, and ignored interruption. His hair was a fat old duffer; looks like a tadpole, and a genial, dignified, elderly bunker out of a whisker and a mustache. The vicious-looking, cadaverous chap with the pretty girl could be distinguished if he'd cultivate an imperial. What the world make-ups are all wrong. The barber sighed sadly, it is hard to be a philosopher and an artist and to be handicapped by the obstinacy and stupidity of human kind. "What some of your patrons take their goodwill seriously," Smith briskened seriously. "Oh, yes," he said, "there are gentlemen who know what's what. They have their own hair cut and their own shave, their own style. They have what the style is. Some of them are freaks and I don't mind a consistent fresh. Now there's a poet comes to me. He floated into the shop one day in a daily dawn, all over him, and I read verses all over him, but I liked him. Good-looking, and even if he was sort of him, I figured that he punched a bag between verses, and he had good eyes. Shed him up and said to myself, "Hair Van Dyke shorter, drooping in front. Van Dyke shorter, drooping in front. Was clead wrong. He knew his business. "Can you give me a Florentine haircut says he. "That hair." "I never met ore," rays I, Introduce me and I can give you one." "With that he whipped out two or three unmounted photographs from his cape coat and showed them to me. He was a little different and the faces were a little different and the heads taken from different angles. The men all had smooth faces and hair that was a cross between Little Lord Familley and the country the mother used to take a small chopping bowl and clap it over the boy's head and then cut all around the body of those men in the pictures looked like those in the forgers had used a chopping bowl." "Is that a Florentine haircut?" says I. It is, says the poet. "An do that with my eyes shut." He says, "I don't do that." He "seat down in the chair and keep an eye on me in the looking glass, and I tackled the Florentine method—strong bang across the forehead, long enough to cover the tops of the ears, down over my shoulder, across in the back. He had good hair—soft and thick and silky—and when I got through with him he could give points to the Florentine in the pictures. Then he defended the Van Dyke and the mustache, then he defended the mouth, but it turned all right, and when I had finished him up I felt as if I'd made a jingle myself. I felt he beat any poem he ever wrote; but didn't make a jingle. I didn't make a makeup and wear it. I've been touching up his Florentine finish ever since. If I'd die he'd have troubles of his own. But do you know, lately he's been taken to a talk show, and I didn't like to think about it. He's so perfect he is. The other day I said to a friend of his that comes to me. "What in the world is making your chum worry about his hair?" "The fellow grinned awhile and then he says: "Well, don't you say I told you, but the fact is he's in love." "aren't poets always that way?" says I. "More or less," he writes more poetry. himself—but this time it's more. The others were in love with him and his hair. He's in love with her, and she says she's not in love with bad, but she can't stand a poster man. "I suppose that hair will have to go. After all, you know, the women have more to do with the way men wear their hair and shave than the men do. Ask beard or hair, and it's ten times wife like him best that way. It's the women, I think, that started this smooth-shaven business. They went dody over and thought smooth faces were just too sexy and the men had their sweethearts and husbands into shaving. I've had hundreds of my customers come in and have their beards and mustaches shaved off because their hair was too sexy and the men more fools they. The women will be able size up them better than they could before. Sometimes men wear their hair and mustaches to cover some scar or deformity, and they can do to offset increasing baldness should make you get.

Then more men muggle it, and if it doesn't hurt, the winger swag it, and if it does hurt, the winger say it's a good thing for a man to know how to shave himself well.

How a Negro Changed His Idea About Their Respective Weights. "A pound am a pound howsumever yer look at er." This statement was positively adhered to yesterday by Jerry Talbot of No. 1314 North Ninth street. To-day he would doubtless declare himself differently. Yesterday he was induced to try the world-famous experiment of dropping a pound of lead and a pound of feathers on his toes, to determine their respective weights. He used iron instead of lead, but the demonstration was just as effective. He is now at the city hospital with continuous on his right foot that will require medical attention for several days to come. Jerry is a teamer, and yesterday he was loading a lot of scrap iron upon his comoeyance at Eighth and Biddle streets. A friend of his happened by and engaged him in conversation.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1901. The Burleigh reapportionment bill, which increases the membership in congress, passed the House Tuesday. They could pass a bill to satisfy some politicians who want more offices, but could do nothing to offset the outrageous disfranchisement of Afro-Americans in the south. Representative George H. White, the only Afro-American in congress made a speech denouncing the traducers of his race. He had tried to obtain an opportunity to be heard during the general debate, he said, but it had been denied him. He was, he said, the representative of one-eighth of the population of the house, of a race that had been grossly misrepresented and maligned by three members of the house during the pending debate. He was glad however, that the idle and slanderous words had come from young men against whom "the statute of youth" could be pleaded. Mr. White said he would take occasion a little later in a speech Defective Page HIS BLIND. 4. Sam—What's yo' goin'? Jeems, wif dat gun, hu? Jeems—I's goin' toe shoot wil' geese.

Doors Claim Never For Claim "The first day after Bill Jones arrived in Cripple Creek he struck a big thing." which perhaps would be his valedictory to defend the men of his race, who were no less American citizens than those of white skin and Caucasian blood. Mr. White's remarks received a whirlwind of applause. If anybody is laboring under the impression that the southerners have buried the hatchet, the action of a confederate organization recently will dispel the illusion. A special from New Orleans says: At a meeting of the camp of the Army of the Tennessee, United Confederate veterans, the strongest of the Confederate associations in New Orleans, a resolution offered by Gen. Stephen Chalaron, commander of the camp, protested against the invitation of President McKinley to the Confederate reunion to be held in Memphis next spring, was unanimously adopted. Gen. Chalaron explained that "it was understood the president will be invited to Memphis, and this was intended simply as a warning to Memphis not to do it." --- There is a strong movement in the northwestern states for congress to make a national park at the headwaters of the Mississippi, in order to save from destruction very nearly the last virgin forest of pine existing in America. The movement finds voice in the February number of The Delineator in a description given of the work undertaken by the Women's Clubs of Minnesota. Their forestry work will have interest for the states of Wisconsin and Michigan; in fact, the country at large. It seems that Andrew Carnegie is no respector of persons in the bestowal of libraries or the funds to establish them, when the gift will serve a purpose. Recently he sent a letter to Booker T. Washington, of the Tusgege institute, offering to contribute $20,000 for a library building for that school if the students would erect the building. It was accepted with thanks. COLOR LINE IN EDUCATION Knoxville, Ten. Jan. 9—Representative Murphy, of Knox county, has introduced a bill in the legislature at the state legislature to allow the white and Negro races. This done with a view to keeping Negroes out of Maryville college, an institution whose original donation provided that the bill should be made in color or sex of students. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER (continued from 1st. Page.) Jerry was a friend wanted to wager than he was. Jerry would each have a jersey. Jerry would lose wager, where the opponent won. Jerry would have the hacky proposition: "I'll bet you my wager on lead is heavier than a pound of feathers." The friend about a pound being a pound under any weight. The friend then suggested the practical consequence: a close by agreement to furnish the feathers, and a close by agreement to furnish the lead. The trial was made in the negro's tools. He admitted that the iron was the negro's tools. A Pneumatic Lock On the Erie canal, at Lockport, N. Y., a pneumatic balance lock is being substituted for a flight of old-fashioned stone chambers. The new lock consists of two steel chambers, a balancing and the other for descending boats. This is divided into two parts, an upper one containing water to receive the boats, and a lower one containing compressed air, on which the upper chamber floats, and a lower one containing run into the upper chamber, that has been run into the upper chamber, or raised, as may be desired, by filling or exhausting the air chamber beneath it.

The other day a Londoner said to a countryman: "Do you anything you like you can not spell three simple words that I shall give you within forty words." "I'll take that on.

"W-a-t-c-h-i-n-," "Wrong," said the Londoner. "What?" exclaimed the countryman, in surprised tones. "I spelled the word you gave me correctly." "I'm certain I made it."

Mr. Adams is the first Illinois Afro-American to receive a presidential appointment. Mr. Adams is the first Afro-American appointee in the twentieth century. Mr. Adams is the first appointment under the new regime of President McKinley. The following sketches of Mr. Adams' career are taken from the Chicago dailies: CYRUS FIELD ADAMS Editor and Publisher of the Afro-American Paper, The Appell. Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean. About the time of the successful laying of a Atlantic carlsons when the name of the Cyrus Field, its promoter, was on every tongue, a child was born in the city of Louisville, Ky., who was named for the man who linked two continents together. The parents of Cyrus Field Adams were Rev. Henry and Margaret P. Adams, Rev. Mr. Adams was pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, and a man held in high esteem by all classes of citizens for his pricing and piety. Young Adams attended the private school conducted by his father until the 8 years old, when he was sent to Cincinnati and passed the public schools of that city. At the age of 12 he entered the high school of Oberlin, Ohio, and later the college. He did not complete the course, as the death of his father occurred and he was obliged to leave the school and go to work in Cincinnati. His first employment was as office boy for a real estate firm. He was next employed as messenger by the bankman firm of Andrews, Bissel & Co. When the firm went out of the press young Adams, who had saved a little more tobacco business for himself as a dealer in foreign stamps and coins and other curiosities, and he was quite successful. In 1877 he moved to Louisville, Ky., where he occupied a third or worker in the public school and also continued his curiosity, usiness. In 1870 Mr. Adams and his brother, John Q., commenced the publication of the Bulletin, a weekly newspaper devoted to the interests of the Afro-American race, which, on account of its great enterprise, was in a short time accorded the leadership among journals of its class. In 1882, although kept busy with CYRUS FIELD ADAMS his newspaper, duties, and curiosity business, Mr. Adams found time to study literature for little more than a year, he began studying for little more than a year, he began teaching this class was compulsory prior to the language.

In 1884 Mr. Adams visited Europe and taught the Afro-American public teachers of the Afro-American public teachers of the Afro-American public teachers of the Afro-American public spending some time in Germany perfecting himself in the language of the Father's Day. Mr. Adams was appointed professor of the German man-in-six-weeks classes in the principal man-in-six-weeks classes was successful in evading by the fact that he was of eight gold and diamond medals proclaimed in various parts of the country. THE APHEAL was launched with offices in Louisville and Dallas. THE APHEAL has worked all over the United States and is involved in the largest circulation of any journal of its largest circulation of any journal of its all times under all circumstances the recent campaign THE APHEAL is involved in vigorous edited Afro-American newspaper and sound media. Mr. Adams has one of the largest coal-miners in the United States (8,000 varieties, and is something of the largest lingulist), being conversant with several modern languages. Three years ago Mr. Adams published an edition of THE MY PEAL, dated Sept. 22, 1983, in which the white was colored races were represented as a decadent race, and the color of the racing toward them the attitudes of toleration toward the foreigner assumed by the whites of the world. The Telemarkers of the time were cleverly purchased, while men taking the place of the white was accruing and, if the race is not the same, the criminal, that is issue of THE PEAL, the tracted wide attention because there was, and, in the same way, the same running through the treatment of most of the incidents.

Secretary of the National Afro-American Council. Member Executive Committee National Negro Business League. The appointment of Mr. Adams seems to be pleasing to the great majority of the race, not only in Illinois, but in the country in general. It is an evidence that President McKinley, who has appointed more Afro-Americans than any two other Republican Presidents, will continue to give the race its share of places in the government.

Mr. Karishka has been a deep student of the law of being, and these books are the result of his observations. The publishers expect that Mr. Davis's war books "With Attorney in South Africa," to appear at once, will create considerable discussion, from the fact that, having gone to the scene of operations with the British forces, and with British sympathies, Mr. Davis afterward joined the Boers and, in the light of the experience he has gained, became a strong part of the Boer cause and a severe critic of the British.

Allen conducted his own defense and wanted Judge Orr, with City Prosecutor Finehout, to adjourn court to pay a visit to the alley where the fight occurred, to disprove the evidence against him. The Judge did not go, however. Freddie Parker was tendered a surprise party Monday afternoon on the eleventh anniversary of his birthday which was gotten up by John Robinson. There were nearly forty children present and they had a glorious time with games, songs, music, etc. Hattie Pettis gave a recitation, Ollie and Ethel Howard gave a piano duet, Louis Chur and Fred Wheeling sang solos, Noble Hauser sang a solo and chorus. Music for the dancing was furnished by Helen Anderson and Bertha Williams. The affair wound up with a cake walk—just for fun—in which all joined. A number of useful presents were given. THE GUNNER'S MALE At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. The scene in the fire-room of the Cruiser New York, as shown in the third act of "The Cunner's Mate" which Manager Augustus Pitou will present at the Grand Opera House the coming week, commencing next Sunday night, is one of the strongest, most effective, and at the same time most novel stage pictures ever attempted. It is one of the strongest climaxes of the play and while entirely original in its dramatic disclosure, it is founded on an actual occurrence in the U. S. Navy. It shows a brave blue jacket risking his life to stop a leak in the boiler, which, if not remedied, would result in an explosion and the loss of many lives. This incident is consistently worked out in "The Gunner's Mate." The play is from the pen of Wm. J. Mate. It features the five scenes of the play transcribed by Cruiser New York, and the scenic settings are exact reproduction of the original. The story of the play is full of dramatic strength, its situations are numerous and thrilling, and its denouncement is sensationally satisfactory. Manager Pitou has by special arrangement engaged Geo. A. Gliday, late bugler of the Cruiser New York, to take part in the "Gunner's Mate." He is also the cleverest of buck and whig dancers and a couple of real pugilists have been secured to take part in the performance, and they illustrate the manner in which the blue jackets while away their idle moments. The company producing "The Gunner" is to be capable in every respect and the scenic settings and effects are on a most elaborate scale. SCRAPS.

THOUGHTS BY WHATELEY. To teach one who has no curiosity to learn is to sow a field without plow in it. o attempt improving by increasing knowledge, a man who does not know how to make use of what he already has is like seeking to enlarge the prospect of a short-sighted man by taking him to the top of a hill. Laborers who are employed in driving wedges into a block of wood, are careful to use blows of no greater force than is just sufficient. If they strike too hard, the elasticity of the wood will throw out the wedge. me as a son-in-law? t since he stopped playing golf In combating deep-rooted prehidices, and maintaining unpopular and paradoxical truths, the point to be aimed at should be to addduce what is sufficient, and not much more than is sufficient, to prove your conclusion. The first business of a teacher—first, not only in point of time, but of importance—should be to excite not merely a general curiosity on the subject of study, but a particular curiosity on particular points in that subject. Any direct attempt at moral teaching, in a fictitious narrative, and any attempt whatever will, unless managed with the utmost discretion, interfere with what, after all, is the immediate object of the writer of fiction, as of the poet, to please. Unappreciation curds the "milk of human kindness." A MA WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW The far-seeing man is not apt to rush into things blindly. It is a greater theft to steal reputation than to steal diamonds. The girl with pretty shoulders is not apt to disapprove of decolle gowns. The well-dressed woman never adopts the exaggerations of fashion. One of the best compliments a man can pay a woman is to say she is "stylish." More than one woman keeps a "best dress" hanging on hooks until it is out of style. Why is it that the things we can't get always seem so much more desirable than the things we have? Judging from the way they talk, there are a good many people in this world who could give Providence a hint or two on how to run the universe.—Philadelphia Times. SIDELIGHTS The prosperity of fools shall destroy them.-Solomon. Patience is the most essential ingredient of genius. It's a poor picture that attracts less attention than the frame. A woman with a three-inch tongue can make a giant feel like a midgret. Politics may be found in honesty, but honesty isn't always found in politics. The ribs of tobacco leaves are among the substances out of which paper is made. Women ride on the platforms of street cars in Belgium, Holland, and Germany, as well as men. BRIGHT LIGHTS. By the time a man gets to be famous he has ceased to care for fame. In politics every well regulated small boy sides with his grandfather. When other people drop things they are careless; when we drop them we are nervous. Call no woman old until she has ceased to throw apple parings over her right shoulder. Man keeps two umbrellas under the delusion that he will have one at each end of the line when it rains.—Chicago Record. Platium Chains Platinum chains, on which are hung jeweled pendants, are worn with a string of pearls and arranged so that only the pendant shows below the pearls, the little chain being hidden underneath. Those platinum chains are not inexpensive and many people do not think them as attractive as the gold ones, but for the purpose for which they are worn they are much more fashionable. The setting in platinum is also used for the jewels that form the pendant, and even pearls of value that have diamond casing have the diamonds set in platinum instead of gold. PERTINENT PARAGRAPH6.

BARRIOS FORMERLY BURROWS FINED $100 Lawyer Punished by Judge Baker for Onesie Against Cora Carson While Employed as Stenograper—The Girlhad Only Born in His Office one day. Frederico M. Barrios, formerly Fred M. Burrows, attorney-at-law, who says he is a Cuban, was convicted before Judge Baker late Wednesday on a charge of assault and fined $100 and costs, a total of $172. Barrios was accused of insulting conduct toward Miss Cora D. Carson, of 188 Huron street, whom he had employed as a stenographer in his office in his father's building. His offense occurred, December 20, 1899, when the complaining witness was a trifle over sixteen years old. Miss Carson, testified yesterday that she had been in the employ of Barrios but one day. FRED M. BURROWS The prisoner is thirty-six years old. He said he had been practicing law in this state eleven years. He denied intentions of wrongdoing. Barrjos made a piteous plea to the court. He said that he had paid $50 for a bondsman when he was arrested. After he was indicted he found he could not give bonds and he fled to Canada. Unable to find means to practice his profession Barrjos said he drifted down to Buffalo. "I became a tramp and suffered much," declared the witness. "I had no money and I was arrested for sleeping in the park. I was identified and expressed my willingness to come back here, but no officer came for me and I was discharged. The judge was a laborer on the Buffalo Exposition grounds. About the 1st of December I was again arrested and Dec. 7 I reached the Chicago jail." "I have no doubt that everything this young woman says about you is true," remarked Judge Bakre. "But I will refrain from sending you to the penitentiary, where they could keep you for the rest of your life." Miss Carson is a bright and handsome young woman. She left the court room accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Jenle Carson, and J. W. Rich, who testified on the stand with rosy cheeks that he had been "keepin' the house, the prosecuting witness for two years. Frederick M. Burrows at one time claimed to be an Afro-American and said he was born in Farmville, Va., where his parents reside. He practiced law for several years, his practice being chiefly confined to the police courts. Some years ago he created something of a sensation by marrying a German violinist, one of the Viloni sisters, at a year ago, who separated.

A religion that never suffices to govern a man will never suffice to save him. That which does not distinguish him from a sinful world will never distinguish him from a perishing world.—John Howe. The true law of every life, the only law of life, is consecration. Consecration is going out into the world where God Almighty is, and using every power to his glory. It is simply defecating one's life, its whole flow, to his service.—J. F. W. Ware. The good work of the world is done either in pure and unexposed instinct of duty; or else, and better, it is cheerful and helpful doing of what the hand finds to do, in surety that at the evening time whatsoever is right the Master will give.—John Ruskin. The child of God does not look backward to gain fresh energy. His energy is the energy of hope and not of retrospection. He presses forward; his glance is ever onward. He anticipates revelations of God ever more and more glorious.—Stopford A. Brooke. WITH THE SAGES. Where the sun does not enter the doctor must go—Italian Proverbs. If men are so wicked with religion, what would they be without it.—Franklin. Most men employ the first part of their lives to make the last part miserable.—La Bruyere. He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself.—Herbert. The best perfection of a religious man is to do common things in a perfect manner.—Bonaventura. As "unkindness has no remedy at law," lets its avoidance be with you a point of honor.—Hosea Ballou. I would give nothing for that man's religion, whose very dog and cat are not the better for it.—Rowland Hill. The call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but to be better than yourself.—H, W. Beecher. Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.—Epictetus. The hands of the young are active in deeds, but the judgment of the old is superior. For time gives a variety of lessons.—Cleero. Vanity is as ill at case under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return.—George Eliot, "Daniel Deronda." Nothing exposes religion more to the reproach of its enemies than the worldliness and hard-heartedness of its professors.—M. Henry. ODDS AND ENDS Dikes of Japan cost in the aggregate more money than those of the Netherlands. Smoking is forbidden on the platforms of street cars in Springfield, Mass. Six hundred new French plays were performed in France and elsewhere last year. Khaki neck shields are now worn in sunny weather by the London police force. There are only about 180 living soldiers who are entitled to wear the British Victoria Cross. Merchants in London are still selling Boer relics, and, however little their intrinsic value may be, they bring high prices. In some of the hotels in northern Europe your quality is asked for among the other inquiries propounded in registering as a guest. An advertisement has appeared in a London paper, in which a lady expresses her desire for a servant who will be expected to "cook and dress the children." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR It is generally the man who is a stranger that gets taken in. Any man can love two women at the same time till one of them finds it out. No room ever looks the same to a man after a woman has done her housecleaning. There probably never was a baby that wasn't uglier than both of its parents put together. Even if a woman hasn't any superstitions about ladders and cats she has about wedding days. Every girl who smokes cigarettes on the sly has a picture of a Madonna hung up in her bedroom. The best woman in the world will forgive her husband for being sinful enough to believe that marriage will go right on just the same in heaven. A woman can say "Gracilous!" so she will feel just as wicked as she would if she were a man and had just said "Damm!"—New York Press. When a married couple starts out to do light housekeeping it means that they expect to get half of their living at "mother's." The highest ever paid for Crown Point was during the great mining excitement of 1872, when the price reached $2,100 per share. Every rumor to the effect that there will be trouble about the "open door" in China is followed by an increase in the price of mules.-Dallas News. SOCIETY DIRECTORY. ST. PAUL. MINNESOFA, A. F. and A.
