The Appeal

VOL. 17. NO. 6. REVIVES QUAINT CUSTOMS ACCESSION OF AN ENGLISH KING CALLING ODD CREMONES Various Offices to Be Performed by Various People-Annotating of a Sovereign or Feature. It will be exceedingly interesting to ob- serve how far ancient customs will be followed by modern customs, and the formal installation of Edward VII. as the successor of his lamented mother, Queen Victoria, says the Brooklyn Eagle. No one is more active in or present at the coronation of the queen, but of course many elaborate reports of courtroom, and the informal or form- al, and these chronicle the observance on that occasion of many of the customers who originate back hundreds of years. To anybody but an Englishman, or at least the subject or some form of limited or absolute authority, the customs seem strange enough, while not a few of them would hardly escape appearance brought up in a political atmosphere of which the genius of royalty is really a matter of degree. The generalization to say that the shadow of this medievalism may be caught today in many, if not most, of the lesser powers of England, is to be expected that in the ceremonials incident to an event so important as the coronation of the customs and forms of court etiquette, with which even the average Englishman may not be familiar, will be The ceremonies before and after the fact of coronation proper include many examples, this is the only state occasion on which the hereditary grand almoner appears. Upon him he governs the cecesor minister. He also governs the minister Abby while the peers are paying homage to the newly crowned sows and grand almoner for this service is all the carpet used in the abbey for this special occasion. The Lord Great Chambriah, the cloak worn by the sovereign on the night preceding the coronation, together with this night was passed. Furthermore, it is his duty to serve the sovereign with a basin of water in which he to wash his hands. He takes as his perquisite the basin and the ewer (both of silver) used for this purpose, and also an earl and a forty year earl. The state robes worn by peers and preceases at a coronation usually are the robes of the crown, the crown of the train and the crown of the womens gowns being prescribed by such regulations. The wife of a baron, for example, is usually dressed in a robe yard on the ground. But a viscountess may wear a train a yard and a quarter long, a countess a yard and a half, a countess a yard and a quarter, while the train of a duchess may be two yards in length. Furthermore, the corones of each degree are to be identical in material and form, and no jewels may be worn. The anointing of a sovereign is one of the important features of a coronation. It is the belief of Englishmen that the spoon of the coronation was placed in the ancient regalia which escaped the political ascendancy of the days of the coronation, and sat under a crouch by four Knights of the Garter, and doubtless this formality will be observed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and after the last coronation the royal coronation oil was used, when wasp All of the state regalia is kept in the Tower of London in a special room, and enclosed in a huge glass case surrounded to the back by a curtain. This regalia is entitled to the fees paid by the public for the privilege of viewing. Several weeks before the cononation of Queen Elizabeth II, the king handed over to the queen's jewelers for the necessary alterations, cleaning and restoration of the regalia was depended on the regalia was depended on considerable revenue as represented by the fees which would have been paid in the taxes. The custodian of the regalia was depended on considerable revenue as represented by the fees which would have been paid in the taxes. He put in a bill for a large compensation for this loss and the bill was paid. As it will be necessary to make many alterations, cleaning and restoration of the regalia was depended on the present custodian of the regalia will be reimbursed in the form of a large presumably in a very much larger sum. The Duke of Norfolk, as earl marshal, has entire jurisdiction of the abbey durably, and is to the details of the ceremonial must come. In his capacity as chief butler of the abbey, he is given to him, and as lord of the Manor, of Workup he claims the privilege to administer the sovereign during the coronation when the scepter is placed in his hand. The glove presented to Queen Victoria was emblazoned on this occasion the duke clamed, and was allowed, the additional privilege of supporting the Queen's hand while she sits on the throne. It is the office of the lord mayor of London to serve the king with wine in a cup and to dine in the hall. The mayor, he also has the right to keep the cup and to dine in the hall. The mayor, according to the usual ceremonial, the office of herb strewer involves quites which are pictureuses in their effect and ancient in their significance. If delegated to a young woman, who is herself, heads the royal procession as it enters Westminster Abbey, strewing her and flowers in the path of the queen. The form of the invitation to be present is a coronation sent by the king to all the rightful trustees right entirely beloved cousin—We greet you well and command you to appear," the wording of the homage paid by all spiritual peers on coming to the throne is faithful and true, faith and truth will bear unto you, our sovereign king, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and I will and do acknowledge the service of the lands which I hold of the sovereign king, our sovereign's hand is kissed and the crown is launched in token of loyal devotion as we bear unto you, to live and die, and a all manner of folks. So help me God. A ruby ring, which is placed on the These are some of the ceremonials and features of the coronation which were extant, the procession of Queen Victoria, and many, the procession of King Edward VII, unlikely to be introduced at the coronation of her son, unless King Edward VII, unless it was not to be supposed to be a court tradition that is as strong today in England as it was two centuries ago. The coronation was expressed in certain form of court elicitation, recalls a story of Queen Catharine, the wife of Charles II. According to Catharine had the mistrust to fail her horse. Her foot caught in the stirrup, and the result was that she was suspended for a brief oral minutes, and, in the presence of forty-three attendants, not one of whom dared to come to her relief, because that who happened to be elsewhere at the moment. How long her royal highness might have remained suspended no one knew, but she saw her pledge to mannish the passivity himself to release her. He was given several doublons for his kindness, and he was commanded to banishment for his indiscretion. "JES' COMMON OLD MISERY " Why Rufus Suddenly Decided That He Didn't Have Paralysis. Kansas City Star. He was Rufus, and he was bestly engaged in polishing the doctor shoes while he was being shaved. As was his custom, the doctor said: "How are you feeling? Rufus, really poorly, thank you, doctress," answered the boy. "What's the matter?" "Paralysis?" "That was," "Paralysis." Had the doctor not been so well acquainted with the negro race, he might have been more patient. As it was, he determined to see what would result from inquiries, "Where's your paralysis?" The asked, kindly. Rufus was drawing a rag swiftly across the left shoe. "In the right hip, doctress," he answered. "In the right rheumatism," suggested the physician. "No. Indeed. It's paralysis. I reckon this is satutty paralysis. This is satutty paralysis." The doctor drew a good-sized pln from the lapel of his coat. "Well, Rutue," he said seriously, "there is only one way to tell. Come here! I'm going to jab this pin in your heel. You're not going to mutilation. If you don't feel it, then you are right and you have paralysis." The boy did not rise, but drew the heel across the shoe. Finally he said: "Dectah, I reckon you must' know more about them things than I do. I see no nothin' but jess' common ole miser." MRS.

We had started away back, about Winburg-midway 'twintix north and south of the Free State—and were pushing rapidly, purposefully. What reason there was in the movement? Roberts occupied Bloemfontein in front, and all around us were active columns of the army. With the little knot of foreign attaches I had received an invitation to accompany Gen. Dewet on an important expedition. With such hard instructions we performed every day and nights rods steadily forward. Such breathing spaces as we had were punctured with queries: "Which of the 1,500 men around us was Dewet?" "Whither was he bound?" he going to cut to the railway line?" "Was it possible to be upon Bloemfontein to be put to the test?" We asked and marveled, but found no answer. With difficulty we singled out Dewet, the man whose name will live on the map, and we found that With us were two Dewetts—Hoodf Commandant Piet Dewet and plain Commandant Dewet. The hoofd commandant was tall and young and commandant was very ignorance the leader of the expedition TO NIGHT MRS.

CARRIE NATION THE SALOON SLAYER WILL APPEAR ON THE LECTURE PLATFORM GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY! RENSE "I do not know," was the only rhyme, and we jerked at our brides as we rode on into the gathering night. A simple Boer, ignorant of maps, save the wide landscape spread out his hands, possessed of no strategy except his hunter's instinct, and utterly incapable of intelligently explaining his purpose, Dewet took refuge in silence. No man of his command knew more than we did, but they understood their leader and questioned, unaprescriptively onward. In the Presence of the Enemy. Suddenly the long, straggling line was called to a halt. A dispatch rider on a panting velt pony refined up beside the general and delivered to him some kind of report. Oom. Oom. heard and considered, and then in the darkness our whole disposition was changed. The force Defe Defective Page was divided into three, and two sections rode away to the eastward under Hoods Commandant Plet. Dewet. With him went some eleven hundred men, six guns, one Maxim-Nordenfelt and one small Maxim. Commanding four hundred with three of us who accompanied the headquarter staff rode on to 'tains' farm, at Oesprut, and on another. About 4 o'clock in the morning old Christian Dewet moved us down into the Koorn went us along of along the further bank near the farm, works, where the big road dives down to cross the drift. In front of us the British bivouac fires glowed dully not a quarter of a mile away to the eastward, where the sky was ready beginning to lighten. Plet Dewet, with his six guns and 1,100 men, was safely stowed within 300 yards of the British lines. We were Gen. Broadwood, a force of fully 2,000 men and a rich convoy. And yet we encountered no outpost, discovered no picket. We had ridden the ten miles since the dispatch rider arrested us unchallenged, and now we were likely expectantly awaiting daylight and the British. As the dawn broke. Plet Dewet's guns D-A-RUNAWAY-LIFE-SAVING-DIAWON DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? sounded the revivele. In an instant Broadwood and his camp were abuzzing. Soon, out of the morning half light, loomed the first Cape cat battling down, the second Cape cat battling down, the word went round. "No shot to be fired till Gen. Dewet's 'rifle gives the signal'" Without advance guard or cavalry screen, scouts or flankers, the rich connoisseurs of armed borneo belonged jangling their way toward Bloemfontein. On the verge of the spruit stood Christian Dewet, silent, cool, and as the miles crossed the lip he placed a re-emerging murmured invitingly. "Come in!" Dewet's First Coup. They came, and after them came fully fourscore others—dragged Tommies, dumbfounded Tommies, devil-may-carry Tommies—but no single Tommy had the presence of mind to wave back his succeeds in the delicate procession. And there was the man with the packing of the bagage train in the spruft something of doubt arose in the mind of the British commander. He dispatched a squadron of men to the position. The troopers came crisply trailing up, deployed and advanced to within eighty yards of us. Every face in the long, straight line stood out distinctly as Oom Christian once more rose and inadvertently guarded the warrior's commander to come over. Through his interpreter, Rickets, Dewtel told the officer he and his troop must surrender or fall where they stood. The commander banded and rode back to his position, and the rider ridged rifle. Then the command rang out, "Files about gulop!" Dewtels rife. cracked, the mounted infantryman pitched forward out of his saddle, and thirty-two of his troopers lay wounded or dead beside him. He out across the two thousand yards to safety an ugly wake of khak marked the course of the scout's retreat until the day's fight was done. Had the cavalryman's commander had presence of mind equal to his courage and given the order "Charge!" he had fortune and fortune and I had not written this story. The scout was clouded that 31st day of March, last year, and little mistakes were quickly added to the first great error of choices of position and lack of efficient vigilance, by the crackle of Mauser fire in a whole room. The U batteries and U batteries of Horse artillery wheeled right under the Boer rifles. In thirty seconds the horses of five guns of U battery and two guns of Q battery were killed and their drivers out of action. O-pounders staggered across the plain and the station buildings, 1,500 yards away. Their stinging snipel dampened the Boer fire, but when the order to retire came only ten men, several of them rounded, could leave the field with their guns. Behind, in the spruit, Oo Christian NDS-IN-THE-TEETH FAME: WHY REBE was busy, with his peasant's thrift, superintending the mending of the damaged wagon, straightening the bent axle and repairing the broken boots. At one swoop he had captured seven guns, 110 wagons, with nearly 2,000 mules, 400 prisoners, and had driven from the city to the army loss a force of 2,000 under one of the military of British cavalry generals. The Typical Guerrilla Chief. It was Christian Dewet's first rad on the British and the omens were favorably welcomed by the wretched wet began his career as a guerrilla chief. For him the style of warfare is ideal. A born hunter, he carries with him a knife and native born Free Staters. He has an aversion to war, about the size of Kentucky, every foot of which is known to him and every man under his command. Every resident is a sympathizer ready with food and with his weapon. He has no headquarters he has. He has no headquarters save his saddle. His authority is the old state president, whom he carries with him, and his object is the harassing of the British troops spread across the country. The ception he has confined his raiding to the 350 miles of prairie between the Oranga river and the Vaal. He raids north or south of that district have been occupied and brought upon him by stress of circumstances. Unencumbered by baggage or by commissariat, Dewet moves with rothling heavier than a two-wheeled buggy. His guns he buries when he desires to increase his firepower. He presses the pressing morrow. Amputation is placed in some mysterious way to centers in the mountains and every farm has its little bundle of cartridges awaiting him. If only he can maintain his supply of ammunition, he can operate for years yet. In the Free State convoys, surprising solitary columns, swooping down an unprotected town. In a straight line the British have 1,200 miles of communications to guard, over which every ton of supplies must be convoiced. Every yard of that is a target for Dewet. Every day of that success is at Sainna's burg. Dewet swooped down 100 miles to the south, and captured three companies of the Irish Rifles and two of the Second Northumberland Fuselier. The two companies of his 1,600 men, had captured 1,200 British soldiers and had taken seven guns. The Net Spread to Capture Hme. At Wepener, away out on the Basuto border, he found another isolated British seventeen hundred colonists under Col. Dewet. He sledge it. For seventeen days he beset the Britsher, but this time unsuccessfully, although he killed nearly all their horses and disabled three hundred of the troop- The engagement at Wepener had its chief interest in the fact that it gave Lord Roberts time to complete his arrangement of his force. Generals Runde and French, Ian Hamilton, Pole-Carew and Smith Dorr, Brabant, Hart and Chirnside, Stephenion, Broadwood and Bruce Hamilton drew rapidly around him in the pursuit of the enemy to capture De Wet. But Oom Christian had further need of his liberty. He successfully hindered French and Runde until his Wepener force was disbanded. He was sent to Ian Hamilton at Thabancheb. On May 1 he was safely back in Winburg, and Lord Roberts had commenced his main advance on Pretoria. The Boers were too busy in retreat to give De Wet a chance of attack, but he carefully disentangled himself from the main flight of the Free State with his president and a handful of followers. Past him rolled Lord Roberts' army to Pretoria and the north. On May 27 De Wet woooped down on a convoy at Lindley, to the eastward of Froenstad, in the northern part of the Froenstad, in the northern part of the captured it in three days' lightning captured it. Yeomary. With him were five guns, fifteen hundred men and the best of the Free State horses. On June 4 he set off a baggage train of nine men near Haben, fifty miles to the north of Lindley, and took prisoners its escort of 100 men. With the supplies secured from these wagons he set off down the railway line to Roodeval, where he found the Fourth of the militiamen of the Vilja regiment. The militiamen had gone some distance to the kopies north of Roodeval and expected nothing less than the hail of bullets that woke them in the night time. De Wet's five guns complete y commanded the army, and, after losing their colonel and 140 men, the regiment on June 7 surrendered. His Restless Activity. Two miles south was Roodeval station, and thither was Derbyshire's death struggle had silenced, came a mall train, with some hundred men of various regiments as escort. To them went De Wet and demanded the postmen fought in defense of their barge and the motive details assisted as best they could. It was useless. About their came the station buildings. Oom the postmen took the train escort prisoner. With the train trucks of load a mail, 10,000 great coats and a wagon of great siege shells bound northward. Train, station, mails and shells were all set a blazing and De Wet before doing so, however, he wrecked the railway line for miles on either side of Roodeval station, destroyed the Rhenoster bridge and the Roodeval bridge, and the telegraph poles into shapeless metal.

On June 21 he reappeared at Hong Sprut station, midway between Rhoeveland, ripped up the rails to the mound, and waited train, and set to work with his guns on the former 300 Prestoria prisoners who guarded it. For six hours the molly company of tattered, ill-armed prisoners fought off Do Wet, and in the same frame with the C. I.

His three weeks of raiding had, however, wakened the British to the necessity of stopping him, and great prepara- tion. On July 2 Gen. B. the capture of Dewet. Men under his command for the purpose. Slowly, purposefully, the net was drawn ar- und Dewet, and on July 12 it began to cise on him in the guerrilla chief. Four days later, Dewet dashed down on the railroad at Dewet and a hundred Welsh Fusiliers, wriggled his way through the British lines, and with five guns and 1,500 men got clear away to the northwest. He was forced to abandon his wagons and a few badly injured men, but on July 22 was in comparative safety on the Vaal river. In the early part of August Lord Kitchener and Lord Methuen began the third attempt to caval Dewet. On Aug. 7 Dewet dashed through Dewet's drift to the town of Bristol, where he and Methuen snapping up his gun, his wagons and his provisions at his heels. Every available man joined in the chase and extraordinary efforts were made by the Methuen and Dewet, ten hours in the endsworc to head him off. On Aug. 11 he crossed the railway at Welterdend, and on the 12 he was ten miles east of Venterdorp and on the 15th he was well out in the Western Countryside. On the 17th he passed through the ring of his pursuers and appeared on the Crocodile river well to the north of Pretoria. On the 19th he tried to cross over to the eastward, north of Pretoria, but could not reach the bank. He tacked back to the Free State and his pursuers were left deserted in the Transvaal, hundreds of mkcs to the north of where the chase commenced ten days before. Four Months of Hide and Seek.

Chef among the portraits and landscapes that the Queen has painted, many likenesses of the prince consort.

Last Monday the Associated Press dispatches gave an account of a gang of white fiends who on Saturday night went to the house of Arthur Nickerson, "a law-abiding Negro," living about seventy miles from New Orleans, and ordered him to open the door. He refused, whereupon they broke in the window and opened fire within. Nickerson hid under the bed, but was dragged out, shot several times and finally killed by being hit on the head with an axe. The rest of the family fled to the rear of the building, leaving a five-year-old girl in bed. One of the men fired and killed her. A grown-up daughter was also shot, and a third daughter, thirteen years old, as well as Nickerson's wife, were criminally assaulted by the entire gang. The gang announced that they had come there to kill the entire Nickerson family. Only one of the murderers was masked. We would like to know what will be done in this case?

Will anybody be sentenced to the penitentiary for life, or, for thirty or fifteen years as was done in the recent Jennie Bosscheiter case in Patterson, N. J?. Will anybody get any kind of sentence? Will anybody be even arretsed? We are inclined to think that an answer to each and all of the foregoing questions may be given by the small word, NO. Why? Bacause the fiends were white and the victims black. Transpose the colors of the parties and things would be different. Columns of space in all the papers would be devoted to the horrible black crime by black criminals, and before this will meet the eyes of our readers, some black men would already been offered up as sacrifices on the altar of color prejudice. This is American justice. We have never heard of a white man committing a crime upon a black person that was so henious in the eyes of the people that he was burned at the stake or lynched in any way. As we said last week we would oppose the burning of those fiends at the stake or of their being lynched, but we would like to see American justice blind enough to mete out punishment to them to fit the crime—if they are ever apprehended. Befo' de wa' the Southerners in Congress were constantly nagging the North on some pretext or another and they were constantly catered to by congress and the more they got the more they wanted, until the good honorable, upright, justice-loving men of that day could no longer stand it and the result was the rebellion with its bloody, expensive lesson. They are at it again. They then wanted to perpetuate slavery, they now want to do the same thing in another way, but they are following the same old tactics. The Buffalo Express says: "Virginia is planning a constitutional amendment to restrict Negro suffrage. In order to insure its adoption it is proposed that when it is submitted to the people only those who will have the right to vote under its provisions shall be permitted to vote upon it.

On Sept. 15 he ventured too near "Fighting Mac" at Vet river and had to leave thirty-one wagons and 65,000 rounds of rifle ammunition as a trophy with the hero of Omdurman. Four days later Lord Roberts announced the dissolution of the Boer forces and announced to the war organized force in the field against him. It seemed as though Dewet had succeeded to the exhaustion of his followers. For some weeks nothing was heard of him, and war correspondents sabled home fainful reports of his death. On Oct. 5 the guerrilla chief suddenly appeared at Vredefort with a force of 1,000 men and his favorite battery of five guns, a rifle, a machine gun, and a rifle, was however, ready for him, and Dewet was driven once more north of the Vaal into the sister republic. Four days later he was snapping at the heels of a British force, picking up all the strayed horses, cattle and pickets, all the way from Lendley to Kroonstad. On Oct. 14 he captured a detachment of Che DISAPPEARED!!! who disappeared from his home, 76 E. 22nd street, Chicago, Sunday evening, January 20, 1901. He is 25 years of age, about 4 ft. 5 inches in height and weighs about 120 pounds, dark complexion and thick features. When last seen he wore a short, neatly trimmed mustache and was attired in a light striped suit, turn down collar with a black string bow tie, a long black ulster and a white felt hat. Anyone knowing his whereabouts will communicate at once with his father A SUGGESTION. He—I was a fool when I married yo. She—Well, don't you think it is about time for you to get over it? We've been For the rest of the month Dewet made daily descents on the railway line and the telegraph posts, rendering communication between north and south almost impossible. Gen. Knox started off in determined pursuit, and on Oct. 27 corneled his bravery. Dewet, a bravery officer, through, but not without paying toll to the tune of three wagons and two of his precious guns. No sooner was he free than he dashed down on the railway line at Geneva, captured the Cape mail and took ninety men prisoners. For the next few weeks he ranged up and down the railway line, leaving his headquarters and uprooted rails. On Nov. 23 Dewet and through the British lines between Alexandra and Warrington's store, attacked a strong British post, was beaten off, and headed for his favorite hunting ground around Dewetsdor. On the 23d he attacked the town, and after a stiff fight it is along with two guns of the sixty-eight Gloeckers and 450 men of the ill-fated Gloucesters and Irish rifles. This insult was more than Lord Roberts could stand, and Gen. Knox was sent in pursuit of the freebooter. Up and down the northern bank of the Orange river the two forces chased, and at last Knox got in front and headed Dewet from Cape Town, where he was captured certain. He was in a space between the flooded Caledon and the unfordable Orange, Knox had his force drawn across the base of the triangle, and another strong party of cavalry awaited him at the apex. But Dewet laughed at cordons and on Inc. 5 crossed the swollen Caledon to Inc. 6. He was in a northward to Reddersburg. On the he snapped up 120 of Brabant's Horse, and on the 12th found himself once more cornered. The Famous Thing of the War. Gen. Knox was within an hour of Dewet at a point among the hills some fifteen miles east of Brabantah. The British took the thinning numbers, the only possible escape, fortified posts, and the guns covered the guerrillas. It was the finest chance the British had in the war, and theoretically, Dewet was "hands up." But Dewet had six months' experience at his back and a troop of seasoned veterans under his command. Knox was the best man to give the pass when across the flat, full tilt at the British lines the twenty-five hundred Boers came thundering. In open order, straight for the pass between the fortified posts, the guerrillas, led by President Steyn and Commandant Foulle, charged, taking advantage of a spar of the kopel, one fort, and past that they streamed in a long, straggling line, Christian Dewet the last man to pass through. Only twenty-five of the forlorn hope fell into the hands of the British, with one 15-pounder, and once more Dewet and Steyn, with one pursuer. It was the finest deed of all, marked Dewet a leader as bold in execution as he has proved himself wily in design. The century ended with Gen. Dewet pinned in by Generals Knox, Barker, Pilcher and White at Lennah. Time and again the guerrilla chief tried to burst through the close British cordon, but could not force his way south. While his attempts at an advance southward were made, the British were, however, unable to make a surprise upon him or his force. Whenever Gen. Knox endeavored to follow his advantage against a retreating foe he was met by a strong rearguard of Dewet's lightest and best-horsed men. For half a day these men held the British at bay, protected by the nature of the ground and by smokeless powder. When the chief had gained twenty or thirty miles on his pursurers the rear guard took to their saddles and, making a long detour, joined the main retreat. At times the British were very close on Dewet's heels, and on the last day of the war they took up horses, five wagons with supplies and 6,000 rounds of ammunition. But those were minor losses, and Dewet moved on toward Bethlehem. Here Pichler headed him off, and he was forced to retreat toward Lindley. A few days later his presence was reported from the Basutoland border, hundreds of miles to the south, and on Jan. 5 he was said to be near his old alding ground at Rhenoster. The probability is, however, that these reports referred to the movements of some subordinate band of marturers, because on Jan. 7 Dewet was again north of Bethlehem, where he drowned, located detachment of Gen. Knox's column and inflicted heavy punishment. There were 120 men in the detached forces, and of these three officers and fifteen men were killed, and two officers and twenty men wounded. The effect of Dewet's constant harassing has been to make every town in the eastern portion of Cape Colony a fortified town. Upon Dewet's immunity from capture depends the duration of the Boer war. Louis Botha, the commander-in-chief of the Transvaal forces, is an orderly soldier possessed of no rabid anti-British sentiments, and is well prepared for further continuing the struggle and increasing the loss of life. Deserted by his president and his government, with the capital and all of the chief towns held by the British, he would, on the slightest concession of terms, surrender to morrow. But so long as his ubiquitous ally, Dewet, keeps the field he controls, he is better to co-operate. With Dewet's capture will end the Boer resistance, but to attain it the British must outwit the widest leader of irregulars of whom history has any record—Douglas Story, in New York Herald.

Unless people swallow battery it is apt to make them slick. Little sins are the eggs from which great sorrows are hatched. Some female fools and their fathers' money acquire foreign titles. A miser is never contented until he is put to bed with a shovel. If a man has sense he can often make use of a seemingly useless thing. The man who loses money and acquires wisdom by it is a galner by the loss. If a man would live in absolute peace he should be blind, deaf and dumb. The head should be educated to think the heart to feel and the body to act. After a girl has been a wife for two weeks she loses all interest in love stories.

Walker Divorced The Superior Court, Judge Philip Stein presiding, was the scene of a hard-fought divorce case between Chas. P. Walker, who has for years been an employee of the Chicago postoffice, and Lizzie Walker. Walker swore that his wife had attempted to take his life in October, 1888, and at another time had attempted to scald what he was about to take a bath. Both these cases Walker denied, but on cross-examination admitted to Mr. Walker's attorney, W. G. Anderson, that she did in fact have a knife in her hand, but said she was cutting bread and Walker was cut in the hand himself; but upon closer questioning said Walker held her hands behind her and the knife behind her came in contact with his hand. But explanation was not sufficient to satisfy Stein, who ordered the decree written up, and on the 2nd instant it was signed, thereby forever dissolving the marriage relations between the couple. THE THOMAS ESTATE FIGHT On Saturday, the 9th instant, the Thomas Estate will again occupy the attention of Judge Cutting, of the Probate Court. The question of the ownership of $25,000 of United States government bonds, twenty thousand dollars in cash and other property of a personal character, will come up for argument. Lawyer W. G. Anderson, representing Mrs. Morrison, contending that all the personal estate should be classed as assets of the estate of Mr. Thomas, while Mrs. Thomas claims the whole of the personal estate, excepting about $500.00, belongs to the deceased crowd of friends of the deceased and friends of the contesting parties; will take possession of the Probate Court in the final Court building. The matter is set for 10 o'clock, but it is not expected that it will be finished until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. An additional suit has been filed by Lawyer Anderson, representing Mrs. Morrison, making Mrs. Thomas and all the banks where she has any money or bonds, parties to the suit, and if Mrs. Morrison is successful in this suit, she will not only get what she is fighting for, but the children of Mrs. Thomas will get each a child's part. Mrs. Thomas taking only one of the personal estate. THE APPLAUSE as other journals have heretofore sail, regrets the state of affairs, which amounts to Thomas Estate on account of the fact that Mr. Thomas was one of the most respected of our citizens; for several terms was a member of the Illinois Legislature and author of the "Civil Rights Law," which has benefited every Afro-American in Illinois.

A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. GEO. P. LYMAN, Ass't Gen'l Pass. Agent, ST. PAUL, MINN. MILLS CO. Burlington Route 14 STORES IN EUROPE RECIVES A HANDSOME SOLID GOLD ELGIN WATCH Members of the National Afro-American Press Association Present Testimonial to the President—A Most Pleasant Affir in Chicago. The following account of the testimonial is taken from the Chicago Daily In Ocean of February 5: Mr. W. H. A. H. will address the Grace Presbyterian Lyceum Sunday, February 10, at 4, in on "Uncle Tom's Cabin; A True Mirror." Dr. C. E. Bentley will read a paper Sunday, afternoon, February 24, in which he will undertake to set forth the 19th Century's contribution to the cause of justice. You are invited to attend any of these meetings. Cyrus Field Adams, president of the National Afro-American Press Association, was presented a gold watch by the members of that organization at Grace Presbyterian church last night. The watch was made in recognition of Mr. Adams, the association during the last Presidency campaign. Mr. Adams was also congratulated on his recent appointment as assistant register of the United States treasury. The watch presented to Mr. Adams was purchased by a collection taken up by a testimonial committee composed of thirty-five of the leading Afro-American editors throughout the country. Secretary S. D. Fowler, of the committee presided at the meeting and communicated us from prominent Afro-American ussrs from every country lauding Mr. Adams for his work on behalf of the race. Mr. Adams has been editor of the Chicago Appeal, a newspaper devoted to the interests of the Afro-Americans since 1885. In 1900 he was elected town clerk of South Chicago, and during the campaign last fall he was a member of the National Republican advisers. In 1902, Mr. Adams studied abroad when quite young and is as noted as a linguist he is as an editor. One of the features of the testimonial exercises was a series of rapid-fire speeches, lasting two minutes each, by many of the leading Afro-Americans in the auxiliary of Mr. Adams' efforts in the journalism and in political, social, and business affairs, and of his scholarly attainments. Many of the speakers were old play-mates or college chums of Mr. Adams and their recital of personal reminiscences added much in the occasion. A musical and literary program, accompanied by timonal exercises, and a reception was held afterward CYRUS FIELD ADAM3. The programme was carried out as follows: Prayer—Rev. Moses H. Jackson, pastor Grace Church. Organ Voluntary—Mrs. Tillie Waters-Lilly. Remarks—S. D. Fowler, secretary, Testimonial Committee. Reading—Richard B. Harrison. Vocal Solo—Miss Senora Selden. Reading—Mrs. Valetta Winslow-Dresden. Flute Solo—Mr. John W. Corbin. Reading—Mrs. Fannie Hall-Clint. Piano Solo—Mrs. Tillie Waters-Lilly. Vocal Duet—The Winslow sisters. Reading—Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman. All of the numbers were well rendered and elicited great applause. Each person received an encore. In the absence of William H. Stewart, of the Louisville American Baptist, who was to have made the presentation speech, Dr. J. H. Magee, of Chicago Brotherhood, in an eloquent address to the thirty years' acquaintance with Mr. Adams, presented the beautiful watch. The watch case was manufactured in Chicago by Spaulding & Co. Chicago-New York-Paris. It is of solid gold and weighs 61 dwt. It is of perfectly plain, bassine finish and beautifully engraved the monogram C. A. A. 1901. On the cap are the words "From Members of National Afro-American Press Association to Cyrus Field Adams, President." The movement is the finest made by the Elgin National Watch Company, of Elgin, Illinois. It has 21 jewels and is adjusted to heat, on the back. The beautiful watch is an Illinois product and represents $150. Mr. Adams made a short speech in which he thanked the people assembled and the editors for their kindness, saying that he appreciated the motive more than the intrinsic value of the watch. Then came rapid fire speeches, each illuminated two minutes, by prominent Chicago mayor and a few others, known Mr. Adams to his worth as man, as citizen, as a politician representing clean methods and his wonderful power of application to an idea until he has worked it out to success. STUDYING SENTENCES The following of the striking things in the remarks: Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor Quinn Chapel, A. M. E. Church: Mr. Adams has many virtues, but one great fault; he has lived too long without a wife. He ought to take some Chicago girl with him to Washington as his wife. Mrs. Agnes Moody, who was connected with the food exhibit at the Paris Exposition: I admire Mr. Adams because I have always noticed that he is kind to the old people. Dr. C. E.

He had a good Christian mother and that mother's influence has made him an upright man. I am sorry his mother is dead. She ought to be to night.

I have always worked on business and upright in all his dealings. He is a fearless champion of his race. L. A.

Noah D. Thompson, U. S. Express Co. Mr. Adams is clean, capable, honest - a credit to his race which he so ably cobbled with his pen. Capt. H. C. Carter, I have known Mr. Adams since childhood.
