ORAIBI MARRIGE CUSTOM PROTRACTED CEREMONIES BEFORE THE HOPPTING OF TWO HOPPTS Bible Grinda Corn for Three Days, Whilst the Young Men Goes Out to Play According to H. R. Voth, the marriage ceremony of the Hopi Indians of Arizona is a unique and most primitive, and those customs observed at Orabi, the largest and most primitive of the villages of Tusayan, are especially among the Hopi marriage by purchase does not exist. The choice of a life companion is left almost entirely to the young, and the marriage is on the part of the parents or guardians being exercised only in rare instances. The love affair of a young couple often takes place as far as any public declaration of their relations is concerned. The love affair is ordered by the young people that they are ready to be married the parents or their representatives are informed. This "being ready" is deter, mined to some extent by the pecuniary affairs of the husband, the young person, that they are ready to be necessary belongings of a horse or burrow and a little money, perhaps also a few donations. To some extent the time for the wedding is determined by the custom that marriage rarely takes place during the winter, and soldiered when the Hopi are busy in the winter, in autumn or winter, which is their time to nurture and frolic, of ceremonies and kites. As soon as the bride-elect has told her mother, or, in event of the death of her mother, she marries the mother takes down the girl's hair, which has hitherto been worn in two colls, and ties a knot in the loosened hair of the latter. She marries a tray of meal made from white corn, the mother accompanies her daughter to house of the latter's future husband. This is at once a marriage ing or very early in the morning. Arriving at the door the mother calls, says she is at once opened by the future mother-in-law or her substitute, who, of course takes along with the situation. The latter takes them and inviting them in to sit down. The girl enters, but the mother usually prepares them and inviting them in to sit down. The girl is now called mourn (bride). If she has come in the morning she is at once assigned a place at the meal-grind-ing table and begins to them all day; if late in the evening, she remains over night, sleeping with the grinder, the next morning, and man goes about his business as usual—gathering wood in the hills, performing wood in the lakes to which he belongs. Late in the afternoon the movi stones grinding corn and sits during the entire day, folded skins in blankets, generally wears a usual clothing, but sometimes wears her usual clothing, but sometimes we wear a blush black ceremonial blanket with a blue and red border. Little conversation is held with the mother and the following days of the bethothal: "The next morning the white corn is used, and the next morning the blush black corn is used. On the evening of this day the various girl friends gather around the house where the latter stays. On the fourth morning these trays are filled with corn and the mother-in-law by the mother-in-law of the bride. This day may be called the wedding day. Long before dawn the bride and her father then come to the bride arrives about the same time. The brideroom and the remainder of his furnish the room and the relative couples of both families, especially the aunts, begin to appear, each of whom is in a vessel. At the fireplace in the corner water is being boiled in a large pot. The water is being poured into a foaming sauce of the pounded roots of the water, which is then some warm water is added. When this is ready, the mothers kneel on the floor and then kneel on them. The young man then kneels before the bowl prepared by his future wife, then kneels before the bowl by the young man's mother; their heads are then thoroughly washed with water, and then they assist in pouring a handful of suits head of each to aid in the washing. Presently one after the other of the women and girls creep in between the young couple, trying to hold their own heads over the bowls and feligning to displace the bride. Others try to tear away the结婚衣, and they start to draw the wrangling being accompanied by great hilarity. When the head washing is about concluded all who have brough, water with them pour it on the head of the couple, thus assisting in rinsing the hair. After thoroughly pressing the water from the hair, the young man and mald sit near the fireplace to warm and dry themselves. Most of the visitors there, who have had a long time in the house, are not the children. When the bridal couple have dried their hair, each takes a pinch of corn, meat and both leave the house and go silent; to the eastern side of the mesa on which the bride attends, they have had the close to the edge, they have had the close to the lips, breathe a silent prayer and then sprinkle the meal toward the dawn. They then return to the house as silent as they departed, and henceforth are regarding the bride. A number of the members of both families assemble and partake of breakfast after this meal the father of the young man takes some cotton and, runn in through the village, distributes it among the relatives and friends of the family. Before the man leaves the house from wrangling takes place, in which he and the bride take conspicuous part, an which is attended with much joking and hilarity. Friends come and go during the evening, one or two of the family, the soot kept in readiness, the door of the house as usual, serving as a table. A few days later a crier announces to the man a day in the day the cotton for the movie's browniest costume will be spun in the kivu matriarchate in the spinning. On the appointed day the men are soon at work, an act of busting of the primitive spindles are an laughter to the singing of taking an house where the marriage has taken place, a dinner for the cotton spinners. The cotton that has been spun is taken to manufacture of the bridal costume it soon begun. The costume consists of a woven skirt with knotted fringes at each end, with knotted fringes at each end, the costume is after ward kept, and the costume is after casms, to each leg of which is attachable. This costume is usually made the bridegroom and his male relative quares several weeks to complete it. The entire costume is now given to the bridegroom, and the actual act in the marriage drastis, the bridegoes home to take place. The robes and puts on her moanings. The often have two new wives but are wrapped up and before surprise the bride leaves the house of her husband's parents, where she has a new baby. The bride holds the bundle with the robe and is slowly and alone through the streets home of her mother. Here she is met by a man who thanks that you have come. The man asks for moccasins and the protracted marriage comes over. During the day the young husband is in law, where the couple live until a certain marriage costume is rolled in the mat receptacle, which is usually sundried. The moccasins are soon put to ordinary use, and the ceremonial occasions. WHY THE TWAIN DISPUTER John Bull Was Thinking of His Bill the Hotel Clerk of His Baby. the Hotel Clerk of His Bahy. "How much?" asked Arthur P. Raglan, of Leeds, England, offering to pay his $19,000, answered Clerk Howard J. Dalley, of the St. James hotel, England.

"Nor will I stand a charge of £9 for a night's lodging and a breakfast," returned Mr. Raglan.

Last week a sheriff's court was held at Lincoln to assess the damages, and the jury awarded the plaintiff the very modest sum of £35. His counsel incidentally mentioned that, besides acting as a musketry instructor, the rector "had invented sights for rifles and guns, a submarine torpedo boat, a safety stirrup and a safety saddle."

In the matter of the church King Edward VII's well known attitude is a severe one. The senator exceeds 20 minutes. Expecting that all sorts of precedents have zone by the board on the occasion of this present demise of the crown, one might expect the senator to be the oath administered at the last coronation service. It is fully a year vet before the ceremony will be gone through again, but already the recognized organ Proteus has been the community, the Tablet, protects emphatically against the oath. King Edward is probably better liked personally in France than any other European sovereign. Certainly he has shown more sympathy with the French temperament than ever, even with his analyses to which he is now subjected by even friendly writers in Paris is at least as cynical as it is appreciative. One of them, writing of him as the king of France, wrote: "He is made up of antithesis and contradictions.

Here, more than anywhere, die in his dominions, his personal popularity is unbound. The cheerful temper, the easy determination to get the most out of all his possessions, the sense of arrogance, which were the most obvious characteristics of the Prince of Wales, are the qualities most appreciated by Londoners. In his public appearances as ruling sovereign there have been no less than 100 of his men of slayy and a man of the world. of the party in power for the time now. He read it with ease and assurance, in the rather noticeably guttural accents of his speech, notwithstanding years of speech-making at loyal social gatherings of Englishmen. If he had a share in choosing the subject matter he may depend upon it he would have followed the line of least resistance and have got the duke of Devonshire to set down something safe and statemanlike, whom all Englishmen take their hats off now, started his reign with an international commission on labor and was humored by other powers, which sent learned men to Berlin. It is understood that the most important outcome of this gathering is that William himself conceived now that the millennium can commence into his immediate imperial presence. King Edward is of neither the age nor the temperament to take time by the forelock, but neither of the events anywhere. It is tolerably certain that events will not deal hardly with his person or his office in the next few years, whichever may befall him. The British letter to the New York Sun, when a prolonged ordeal of reverses, expenditures and disappointment would have provoked popular rebellion, has been the subject of vening wrath on the nearest conspicuous object that served no apparent use. But the British democracy has outgrown that stage. More iconoclasm is a popular habit with demagogues. The stump oxen who not many years ago rolled off their objections against all things that are to herds of enthulness, and who have been from lack of approving hearers. In Hyde Park, where once the police and the crowds used to come to blows over the right of free speech on Sundays, the police have been forced to and know the police only demand their protection against occasional cloaks of dirt, the tributes of unconvinced waywardness, and the thinking sections of society. The bitterly hostile theories and principles of government overthrew thrones a century ago have no part in the present day. What Edward Cafrd stated in his recent article in the Sun, summarizing the history of philosophy in the nineteenth century, seems to apply with remarkable exactness to the attitude of Englishmen to their form of government. He said that the two leading tendencies in philosophy were (1) the idea of organic unity and (2) the idea of development. The first of these is appreciated by five-sixths of the electorate, and explains the formation in power of a flagrantly muddle-headed government. It is the idea of organic unity that has so forced enthusiasts for the colonies and the empire. The unity would not be furthered by asking the colonies to take sides in the party politics of Great Britain; but it is furthered by one imperial emblem, the crown; and thus it is from more not fewer voices that the patriotic Englishman expects to hear "God Save the King" as years pass by. In this sense and to this extent Mr. Arthur Balfour's utterance about the increasing power of the crown stands good. It is coming to mean the symbol for the collective national interests of the various branches of the empire, and no other symbol is yet apparent that brings with it the same force of sentiment. The idea of development may be hasened or re RENSF tarded as the lessons are learned from the rest of the world, but it is not in the present visible perspective that King Edward VII's head need sleep uneasily from wearing a crown. All his courtiers and the principle of monarchy have now more generally popular than in his kingdom to-day. The personal authority in constitutional government has no place whatever in party legislation. That is an absolute, unfoldable caption. But there are still spheres in which the sovereign if exercised, is a very important factor in the life of the country. They are the civil list, the army and the church. The personal expenditure of the occupant of the throne, the members of the royal family and the officers and ladies of the royal household is secured by parliament voting what is called the civil list, the national military purposes or any of the functions of government. Formerly the crown was a large owner of private landed property, chiefly through the forfeiture of estates of rebellious subjects or church lands during the religious strife of the Tudors and Stuarts. There is a saying drawn from the great times of Elizabeth, Anne and Victoria, that "When women reign, men rule; when men reign, women rule." It is some indemnement of this that during the reign of the Georges the personal possessions of the crown hardly prospered better than the reckless days of Charles II. and James II. It contains a question of commuting this property, which threatens to be dissipated entirely, into a fixed income of money, the landed property concerned being administered by a government department. THE APPEAL KEeps IN FRONT BECAUSE: 4- It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans 5- It is not compelled by any right orique 6- It asks no support but the people* "Soon after the restoration a committee of the house of commons reported that the annual produce of the land revenues was £217,000 besides £4,000 from Dean Forest, but in three years time Charles II. reduced it £100,000. It was still further dissipated by William III., and on the accession of Queen Anne parliament en-seavored to save the remnant by an act (1 Anne, c. 8) which practically prohibited alleration of the crown lands and enacted stringent provisions in regard to the length of the term for which they might be leased and the rents to be reserved." "At the accession of George III. the gross return from the English land revenues was only about £80,900 a year and about 1757 the clear annual surplus was reckoned to be less than £11,000." "At the commencement of the queen's reign, that is, for the year 1888-50, the surplus revenue paid into the exchequer and judicious management this surplus has steadily increased. For 1823-53 it was 422,000; for 1826-43, 600,000; for 1872-75, 475,000. In 1882-83 it was 480,000, and during the next decade it passed to 500,000, amounted to 430,000 in 1862-53, while for the year ending March 31, 1900, the surplus paid to the exchequer was 450,000. It should also be borne in mind that during the last twenty years the crown, like an ancient great depreciation in rents from agricultural lands. "The expression ' crown lands' covers an infinite variety of property. It comprises most of the great fishing in Scotland nearly 70,000 acres of agricultural land in England, the new forest, Dean Forest and Windsor great park. Minerals of many kinds help to swell the revenue: coal in Dean Forest and in inundera mines, gold in Wales, silver in Scotland, and timber. Tees are a few instances. No landlord in the kingdom has such a diversified property or so many local laws and customs to deal with as his majesty's lands of woods, forests and land revenues have. In Scotland there are feudal dues and rents whose very names would be foreign to an Englishman. From Alderey come dues probably more ancient than the manorial courts of the Isle of Man have traces of a Scandinavian origin." At the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign an act was passed by parliament "for the support of her majesty's household and of the honor of dignity of the crown of Great Britain and Ireland." By this act the queen surrendered to the public for her life and six month thereafter the land revenues of the crown, receiving in return an annual civil list allowance of £100,000: Her majesty's private purse: 400,000 Salaries of household: 131,200 Salaries of household: 132,000 Royal bounty, etc. 13,200 Unappropriated 8,400 The revenues of the duches of Cornwall and the duchess of Cornwall list arrangement. The revenues of the first named are nested in the eldest son of the reigning sovereign, that is to say they go to King Edward's only surviving son, now the duke of Cornwall and York. The duke remains the property of the crown. As a matter of history the marketable value of the crown lands has risen to more than double the fixed sum decided on at the beginning of the queen's reign as the annual income of the sovereign. The revision of the civil list will be the main occupation of the coming session of parliament, and most probably on in- As the headquarters stand in Africa, ex- has been more than a military unit.

It is not by the assertion of small-mindedness, favoritism or incompetence on his part that the British army remains stuck in the African slough of despond, paralyzed as a fighting machine.

Dabney, n C colored Man, Attend to the Thief's Face to the Most Mediated Man. Over a little shop in an F street basement here presides a man who has perhaps pulled the noses of more distinctions, country, writes the Washington correspondent, writes the Washington correspondent, he has pulled them gently, and has for years been a great favorite of the man who have thus been assailed by the police. He is Dabney, a colored barber, who is the special barber of the president of the United States and of two-score other public men shaved, and delight in having that duty well done, and regard to their corporeal and corporeal. There are three sets of official barbers in Washington—the executive, the senate and the house of representatives—but the dean of this corps is, of course, the man who shaves the president and looks after his hair and scalp. Dabney is one of the most modest of men. He is not talk-active, and if the man under his care wishes to sleep during the operation performed on him he is permitted to sleep. It must not be inferred, however, that President McKinley does not know how to handle the razor. He shaves himself every morning, and Dabney is only an occasional visitor, and he becomes the official barber when the president's hair needs trimming and when his scalp requires attention. There is a barber's chair at the White house, but it has fallen into disuse. The president sits in an ordinary easy chair while Dabney spends the time required to properly dress Mr. McKinley's head and shave him. The presidential face is somewhat tender and demands some care. His beard grows "stout" and must be handled glugly. In the chair the president is one of the most pleasant of men. He talks freely, and discusses the current matters of the day, save politics. That he carefully eschews. He enjoys the operation, chats entertainingly, and after his head has been rubbed and the scalp treated the president expresses his satisfaction and goes about his arduous duties refreshed and contented. Then Dabney returns to his shop and waits on ordinary mortals or makes the rounds of the houses where he is daily expected to care for the hair of the women of many official families. For thirty years he has wielded the seissors and razor, and twenty-three years of that time has been spent in Washington. Among those whom he has served or is now serving, besides the president, are Secretary-Root, Secretary Long, Vice President-elect Roosevelt, Senator Frye, former Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson, Justice Harian, Gen. Miles, Admiral Dewey, Senator Hoar, Senator Carter, Gen. Clarkson, Henry Watterson, Gen. Tracy, former Secretary of the Navy and former Senators Murphy and Smith. Among the well known men now dead who were habitues of his shop were James G. Blaine, Secretary of State; W. W. Corcoran, philanthropist; Secretary Windom, of the treasury; Secretary Rusk, Senator Farley, of California, and Senator Voorhees, of Indiana. In the palmy days of Chamberlain's, Dabney was called there almost every morning to attend to senators and members of the house, and was popular with all of them. He was often intrusted with the personal affairs of bachelors who were about to become benedicts. Discussing the habits of great men in the chair, Dabney said: Mr. Roosevelt was always chatty. He discussed anything that happened to be of public attention—politics, prize fights, sports, religion, or anything that people were talkin' to. Braine and Corcoran were talking about. They had little to say, but were always in the same way. The German and French ministers liked their own peculiar foreign hair cuts, expressed their satisfaction when well served, and did not talk. Secretary Root liked food attention, is pleasant and agreeable, but reserved, as Secretary Long is a man of few words at all times, and fewer still when in the barber's chair. Former vice President Stevenson had a pleasant, ever-never, he entered the shop, took everything out, and was very pleased. Few men we testy when under the scissors or razor. If you only study what they like and endow to give it to them. Since his appointment as the White House barber three years ago, Dabney has had many calls not only from prominent officials, but from the wives of cabinet officers and others in congress, and social circles, whom he has attended every day and scalp treatment. One interviewing with his wife, he says, uses any of the fact that the market he used to be the numerous so-called remedies for he scalp in the market. He uses his own compounds, and the secret of them, jealously guarded by him. In the legislative branch of the government there is a staff of nine official officers. Three are on the senate side of the capitol and six on the house side. In the house side three men are assigned to the Republican cloak room and three of the Democratic. On the Republican cloak are Thomas E. Foreman. He was worked there for thirty years, and has an inexhaustible fund of stories of men who have passed in and out of public life in that time. He is sixty years old, and a native of Maryland. Savoy, one of his assistants, has been in the house shop for twenty-eight years, and Robinson, the other, is comparatively a excover, having been there only six years. W. Evans, of Ohio, watches over his hrsute adornments on the Democratic side of the house. He has stood hard there for sixteen years, while his chief assistant, William, has pulled a zox over the faces of Democratic statesmen before and after election for twenty years. The other assistant, Barton, is from Iowa, and is still a novitiate, having been on the government's payroll only for the past year. The house employs, secretaries, etc., a very extensive office, and the house shops are to 10 o'clock in the morning. After hours of business, the house begins to stroll in, and razors and shears are being cut, until the house is full of after the house meets. With all the done at government expense members are all anxious to be shaved daily. The senate shop is more exclusive. It is not within the predicts of the change. Down on the basement floor is a room elaborately fitted for the barbers' and for baths for senators. The foreman of this shop is J. L. Hickman, who has resided in this same shop for thirty years. He has known every man personally who has been in the senate in that time, and understands well all his idiosyncrasies and whims. Hickman and make a sentorial head that is dull and achy at 10 o'clock bright and really brilliant by the time the senate meets. His two assistants, Sims and Williams, have learned their lessons thoroughly under the old master, and have served on years each. Each senator has his favorite among the three, and when he walks into the shop and finds some colleague ahead of him he will patiently abide by the rule of "next" that prevails, and wait until his own barber can serve him. The senate barbers are fortunate individuals. They draw a salary of $70 a month, whether the senate is in session of not. This is a yearly rate, and in the long recess one barber attends the shop, he three men arranging their vacations. YOU READ THE APPEAL THE APPEAL.

Address SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1901. Not only do they lynch Afro-Americans for alleged crimes, of which, many times, the victims of their prejudice are innocent, but they do not allow an Afro-American to express his views on their actions—if they are in opposition. Ralph Brown, of Brazil, Ind., last week took occasion to denounce the lynchers of Ward at Terre Haute in severe language. A number of his white fellow workmen procured a rope and threatened to lynch him and he actually had to flee for his life and seek protection at the police station. We supposed a man had the right of free speech guaranteed to him in this country, but it seems this is not the case if his skin is black. Verily the lot of the black man is a hard one in this country, which in its bill of rights declares all men are born equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This is a great country. A SOLILOQUY. BULL DOWN LETTERS U.S. MAIL "I never have trouble tellin' whether I'm drunk or sober. Now. If I'm fool ish 'nough to go home and let me' wife see in this condition, I mus' be pretfull. If I go to a hotel I mus' be perfectly sober or else I wouldn't know that I'm ver' drunk." KING EDWARD, ACCOMPANIED BY THE QUEEN, OPENING PARLIA-MENT THURS DAY, FEB. 14. Lynchings still continue with the victims Afro-Americans and the lynchers whites. When will such things cease? We do not object to any man, who commits a crime, being punished, but we want all persons accused of crime tried in a legal manner, and, if found guilty after a proper hearing, punished according to law. Suppose Doc Reed, who was in jail in Indianapolis, for an alleged assault, had been gotten hold of by the mob. He would now be dead, but thanks to the good jail and the lapse of time, he had an opportunity to prove an alibi and his life was saved. Many a poor innocent black man has been murdered by mobs that did not care whether their victims were innocent or guilty so long as they were black. As we have always contended we still reiterate, the criminal is worse than the crime if black, in the eyes of the mob. Lynching must be stopped. Talk about the mating of May and December, how was that marriage in Birmingham, N. Y., this week of an eighteen-year-old girl to a man who was 100 years old January 4. The groom was a millionaire bachelor who loved his present wife's great grandmother, but a misunderstanding prevented the wedding. Recently he saw the great-granddaughter of his former fiance, whom she resembled so much that he fell in love with her for her ancestor's sake. He says she is his old love come back to cheer him in his old age. His wife says his wealth was not a consideration in her mind, a statement which we must take cum gran salis. The second inauguration of President William McKinley pased off with much eclat last Monday. The president says the indorsement he received at the hands of his constituents at the polls was also an indorsement of the men whom he appointed to office, so he will make few removals except for cause. He will, therefore, not be very likely to remove any of the Afro-Americans who are now in office, and has already added to his appointments and will do more along that line when opportunities along that line present themselves. It seems that there is no danger of the gold reserve troubling us as it did during President Cleveland's administration. There is now $489,412,158 gross gold in the treasury, the high- THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER est point ever reached in the history of the country.

The executive committee of the National Afro-American Council met in Washington Tuesday, Bishop A. Walters, presiding. A committee was appointed to visit the President in the interest of the race. Committee: A. Walters, T. Thomas Fortune, W. A. Piedger, Bishop Arnett, Cyrus Field Adams, A. L. Manley, J. A. Crossfield, Ernest Lyon, I. B. W. Barnett, P. J. Smith, J. W. Lyons, G. H. White, H. T. Johnson, J. Lawson, Charles H. Brooks, Harry C. Smith, Henry P. Cheatham. A monster mass meeting was held Wednesday night. Cyrus Field Adams paid $50 and became the first life member of the National Afro-American Council. Contrary to expectations, the Porto Rican troops attending inauguration are not a set of small, under sized, swarthy fellows. They compare most favorably in appearance with the Pennsylvania troops who are quartered in the building, and there are many specimens of physical manhood in the organization who would be a credit to any army in the world. All the officers are unstinted in their praise of the men. The rules which govern them are strict, and the enlisted man guilty of an infraction of discipline is dealt with severely. There has been comparatively little infraction of discipline, the formation of the battalion two years ago, however, and the success of enlisting natives has been shown by the fact that congress has approved the orders are given in English, but instructions are given in Spanish, which is spoken fluently by the officers. First sergeants of all the companies are enlisted man who have been sent to the battalion which have seen service in Porto Rico, and they get along very well with the natives. Most of the latter are full-blooded Caucasians, while others show the tinge of Negro blood, very much of the latter. There are two battalions of these troops, which have been fully organized. As a token of appreciation of his services to the race, Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, was Saturday presided over by representatives of leading federal newspaper of the country. The presentation took place in the room of the senate committee on privileges, elections, and in addition to Senator Chandler, the senate friends of their own race, Senators McComas and Pritchard were present. The speech of presentation was made on behalf of the senator, S. Smith, a member of the Washington bar. He said the New Hampshire senator had freely given his services to the race past forty years, and he predicted that its retirement would be only temporary. Mr. Chandler was visibly affected when he rose to reply. He said he had been a friend of the Afro-American community easy for him to do so, because it was natural. He discussed the lynching problem at some length and said he regretted to see the lynching of Afro-American men in Northern states, and that it is not confined to lynching for offenses against women. He advised the Afro-American people to organize a committee to investigate and make public the facts of the lynching to their attention, believing that the publication of an authentic record would do much to cause a cessation of the practice. He believed that in time the Afro-American community would growth of genuine Christianity would relieve the race from this unjust infliction. He also advised the Afro-American to stand out in a peaceful manner for their rights under the law, and that themselves to be disfragrant without continued protest. The right of the Afro-American to vote should be as sacred to him as his life. The senators sentiments were loudly applauded. Senators McComas and Pritchard were among others who spoke. Mr. McComas said that Senator Chandler is the best friend of the Afro-American under the roof of the capitol. Mr. Magnus L. Robinson was chair- Mr. Magnus L. Robinson was chairman of the committee. Perhaps the largest movement ever inaugurated among the Afro-Americans has just taken shape here in Washington at Abury M. E. church, where twenty designated official representatives of religious denominations and organizations among Afro-Americans gathered to consider the spiritual, moral, intellectual and social progress of the race and to make arrangements for a monologue at the American men and women in Washington in the summer of 1902. This meeting will be known as the Afro-American Young People's Christian Conference. A circular has also been issued signed by the following clergymen. THE LORD OF THE RING MRS.

They do not learn to read the Latin, not in the riculum, and they consented to learn spelling only when told that they could not well read without it. As text books they use Bibles, of which each has a chapter, and in either, with index and marginal notations. " ignorance is the curse of God, knowledge the wing where we fly to heaven," is a favorite quotation of Mrs. McCorkel, and through it, that this from Shakespeape and not from the Bible, her answer invariably is, "Well, if it ain't in the Bible it ought to be there."

A most kindly spirit of friendship exists between the young and old pupils of the school. They mingle with the other students, the games of childhood they play appear to be enjoyed equally by both. The younger members do not taunt the older ones with either their years or their color, and, on the other hand, the aged pupil is "adored" by the younger ones in their studies. Just at present Mrs. McCorkey is studying from Psalms, large portions of which she can repeat from memory. "O clap your hands, all ye people, shut your mouth with the cleavest jumph" is one of her favorite passages. "She is able to read it when she sees it in print," says the teacher. "But when I transpose the words she gets confused. Silent letters are also a great burpurea look with that weave deceptive stand why psalm' should be spelled with a p, as I dare sly, few others can. But she is getting along nicely, and for all I can see she is bright child of six or seven years. She is certainly the most devout old soul I ever saw.

The table was set with flowers and cakes. The bride was the recipient of a large number of handsome presents. Minstreys as it is to-day is probably best illustrated by that illustrious and prolific producer, Wm. H. West, who for many years is been looked upon for many of the best exhibitions of all that is big, new and novel in the minstrel world. His fertile brain has conceived probably more great acts than any other minstrel performer. This is all the work of the best exhibitor, somewhat limited in its possibilities. To constantly supply the demand for original acts, ideas and new features is that a West minstrel performance has ever been devoid of novelty. All the biggest and most expensive acts, original and ginger comedians, the best of the best, can surely be found under the West banner. Mr. West has organized this season what is claimed to be the best minstrel show at the broad distinction to be connected with. It includes forty or more leading artists and several features in an oillo of superior merit, any one of which would be sufficiently strong to be the best of the best representations. The vocal corps, like all the previous West performances, includes the greatest singers known to the minstrel stage, while the roster of comedians simply defies comparison. In the past, the most successful this season are very strongly brought to the front in a program of mirth, music and melody. The street parade also differs from all previous attempts in this line and is this season quite榜样. Mr. West and his Big Minstrel Jubilee will be seen at the Grand the coming week, commencing Sunday night at 8:15.

The British and the Boers at Pieters Hill were crouching behind bowlers scattered over a wide surface. The moment a man on either side emerged the Boers got the enemy's bullets. A Boer, partly, it seemed, in bravado, made a sadly sally to join a neighbor. An Englishman who had long watched the rock and was becoming sick with hope deferred, took aim and brought the daring one down. So delighted was he with his luck that he threw himself on his back behind the shallow shelter of his bowler and kicked his heels into air. In his transport his heel rose above the rock, as he was instantly made aware of the horrifying his fluttering ankle—New York Tribune. Japan has made greater progress in the past decade than any other nation in the world, her exports having increased from $16,000,000 to $167,000,000 while her imports have increased from $26,000,000 to $433,000,000 in the same period of time—Pennsylvania Grit. A Girl's Best Counselor Is Her Father. "Trust your father's judgment of your men friends rather than your own at first," writes Helen Watterson on The New York Times. "In December Ladie' Home Journal." The girl responsive young man who will probably attract you, will not be the one who will be likely to have his serious consideration and respect. Talk over your men friends with your father, and see what healthy unemotional, same 'man standards' he will have. I really think if a girl could have but not be a girl, love affairs, would better be her father than anyone else. A man's mind is a great tonic to the somewhat diluted intellect of a girl in her first sentimental experiences." DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Cavaliero's role is to be the hands of the Filipino booters and then into the possession of an American soldier after the battle of Malotos. It is the history of this curious timepiece now belonging to Harry Shepherd. It is a singular looking watch, and is in admirable repair, all things considered.

Uncle Sam's Helpful Little Books Are Printed Free. Uncle Sam has a large, growing family to look after $80,000,000 or 80,000,000 people of all colors spread over half the world—and some of the ways he has of looking after its best interests are most practical and helpful. For one thing he firmly believes in study and investigation, for he keeps some dozen of our calculating friends, scientists, at work for him all the time—maths, geologists, statisticians, weather experts, pathologists, entomologists, anthrobiologists and others with exceedingly hard names, who are continually busy with the hard problems that arise every year in his family economy. When one of them succeeds in solving a knotty question or finds a new way in which the great household can be improved he writes a little book. about it and Uncle Sam prints it for free distribution. These books are issued by the agricultural department and are called "farmers' bulletins," but they cover many subjects that are of interest to people who do not live on farms. of reducing swarms of housewives, new methods of cooking the foods they —these are matters of interest to thousands of folk who live in cities, and Uncle Sam knows it, and sends them free to all who apply. One of the most recent of the booklets gives a list of weeds that are good for food—weeds that very few people would ever grow. Uncle Sam's charlock is one of them, a weed of *Solidago* that grows in wheatfields and is very troublesome until pulled up, put in the pot and boiled: It then becomes savory and nutritious. Black mustard, a sort of wheatfield brother to charlock, is another common weed that cooks up into delicious greens. Pigweed, pokeweed, dock, purslane, marsh martin, and a weed called orach, halling in Asia, are some of the field posts which Uncle Sam's botanist has put upon the list of new foods. The little book contains illustrations of these candidates for table honors, tells how to identify them from poisonous varieties and urges everybody to give them a trial. No citizen of the South Town has been heard to complain this year about large salaries, padded pay rolls and expenses of the people's money.

Strong Men Selected for each Office— Strong Party Platform—Danial M. Jackson Represents the Race on the County Ticket. REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET MAYOR ELBRIDGE HANECY TREASURER AOLPHGARTZ CLEKER FHOS O'SHAUGNESSY ATTORNEY OSPAR MEBEL The Republican city convention last Saturday, after a protracted struggle, nominated the Hon. Elbridge Haney for mayor of Chicago. This manifestation in Judge Haney came to him wholly unsolicited. He did not desire the nomination, but since it was the wish of his party that he should be its standard bearer, he has accepted the honor and enters the contest earnestly and hopefully. The Republican party is specially fortunate to have the judge, its nominee. His ability is unquestionable in the acter, both as a citizen and an official, is beyond reproach and his views on local questions are in hearty accord with the great majority of the citizens of Chicago. The pledges made by the convention in its 'platform will be faithfully carried out by Judge Haney when elected. Chicago will be reclaimed from thuggery, maladministration, vice and crime and will be deprived of the protection which has brought disgrace and infamy upon our great city. The ordinances of the city will be fairly and honestly enforced by deriving any citizen of his rights and demanding traction question, involving a renewal of the street railway franchises, will be settled on a basis fair and just to Chicago and satisfactory to the corporations. The civil service law will be conscientiously and legally carried out. The Appeal is fully satisfied that Judge Haney can be depended upon to carry out these and many other recessional essential and necessary to Chicago's continued growth and prosperity, and being so convinced will unhesitatingly give its support and best efforts towards the election of Judge Haney and the entire Republican city ticket. The Appeal notes with pride and satisfaction the nomination of Attorney B. F. Mosely for supervisor by the town of Lake Republican convention. This is the first time in the history of Chicago that an Afro-American has been accorded such an honor in this section of the city. Mr. Mosely, besides being a lawyer of ability and leadership, has been the best campers in Illinois. Success to Mosely and the Republican ticket. The South Town Republican convention assembled at Arlington hall last Monday at 8 o'clock a. m. and adjourned until next Monday, 8 o'clock p. m. It is highly probable that Collector Fuller will not be renominated on account of he and Judge Haney coming from the same ward. Mr. Fuller's retirement is generally regretted by the Republicans of the South Town. Judge Haneey and the entire Republican party of Chicago promise a vigorous, earnest and continuous fight against the cohorts of Democracy and crime. It is to be hoped that all friends of decency and good government may be lined up at all times on the right side. A PRINCESS SOLD A Mummified Daughter of Rameses II. Auctioned Off. Unlike good wine, princesses of ancient Egyptian lineage do not appear to increase in value with time; at least, that was the experience of one of the daughters of Rameses II, when she was offered at auction by Mr. J. C. Stevens at his well-known rooms King street, Covent Garden. Perhaps this was because she was unable to put the dots to the i's and the crosses to the t's of the auctioneer's eulogy of her various interesting points, a circumstance not to be wondered at, considering she has been dead and murmified since, circa, 1333 B. C. But in spite of her antiquity, the eager crowd of bargain hunters at Mr. Stevens' wonderful sale probably knew more about her, in some respects, than she had ever known herself; for the X-rays of modern science had been brought to bear upon her cerements, with the result that photographs of the body beneath had been obtained showing the position of the bones. In spite, however, of this, there seemed to be no particular demand for her remains, and if her spook happened to be pervading the fragrant neighborhood of Covent Garden at the time it must have had its feelings hurt at seeing the "lot" for ten gunneas. Rameses II, is reputed to have had a good many children, but that would scarcely account for the fact that a daughter of him, who stole men's hearts nearly thirty-three centuries ago, should have fetched only ten gunneas. And she was remarkably well preserved, too, and inclosed in a neat casket—London News. A shepherd once, to prove the quickness of his dog, which was lying before the fire in the house where we were talking, said to me in the middle of a sentence concerning something else, "I'm thinking, sir, the cow is in the potatoes." Though he purposefully laid no stress on these words, and said them in a quiet, unconcerned tone of voice, the dog, who appeared to be asleep, immediately jumped up, and, leaping through the open window, scrambled up to the turf roof of the house, from which he could see the potato field. He then, not seeing the cow there, ran and looked into the barn where she was, and, finding that all was right, came back to the house. After a short time the shepherd said the same words again, and the dog repeated his lookout; but on the false alarm being a third time given the dog got up, and, wagging his tail, looked his master in the face with so comical an expression of interrogation that he could not help laughing aloud at him, on which, with a slight growl, he laid himself down in his warm corner with an offended air, as if determined not to be made a fool of again.—Exchange.
