The Appeal

Once the Terror of the Pennsylvania Oil Regions MOONLIGHTER HANK STEWART and the RUIN HE WROUGHT with HIS ILLICIT NITROGLYCERINE THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-It its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 17. NO. 24. New York, May 23—Of all the old oil country characters who come here occasionally, in pursuance of the inevitable "all good things" come to New York, none is more famous, though unhonored "all good things" story or song, than Hank Stewart, whose mind revert to the old days of Bradford hole, Petrolia and the cities that have risen and fallen with the price of oil. It probably has been fifteen years since such as H. H. Hogers, John D. Auchubi or D. H. Hogers have heard the name of Hank Stewart. Here it will bring a train of recollections half pleasant and half angry, and wholly mixed with a little of the physical fear they felt in the old days of olden, when their immediate neighborhood with his double dose of nitro-glycerine and whisky. For Hank was a "moonlighter," and time was when the men such as now are at the head of the Standard Oil found use for him in shooting their oil wells on the sea, as old all the other large producers in the industry that was because there was such a heavy cost of them on the manufacture and sale of the line that few cared to go into the business openly and go about their work in daylight. The result was a scarcity of the explosive, and then sprang up the business of the moonlighter, so-called because they was paid on the stuff, which was made in China, in much the same way a moonlighter wagged. Then, leading the goods in cans filled into a queerly shaped box waggen, the moonlighter would drive over the rough country roads at night where the well was to be shot, for it meant money in and nobody hesitated in taking the contemptuous article from the moonlighter, who always was well paid for his dangerous work. Nitro-glycerine is about the touchiest thing known, and when made in haste, or in the improper proportions of glycerine and sometimes used by the moonlighters, and made a rough word to it. And when it wilt it was suddenly, and it usually took with it the landscape and anything else handy, and without warning. Killen never never Hinewell. Now, Hank, when sober, had the greatest respect for nitro-glycerine, but when he got a load of whisky on board, too, he had the nitro-glycerine would quit, leaving in the face of nature, but no traces of the dear departed to bury in it. While it may be unkind to Hank to say that he was the contraband stuff to it is certain that the contraband stuff to it is about the oil country did so. And the strangest part of it is that the stuff never killed Hank Stewart. So frequent were people who were jared out of bed by the go of 290 squares of nitro-glycerine half a mile away, they only crawled back into bed and said: "Hank Stewart again. Wonder who he got that time?" In fact, Hank's escapes were so many, so marvelous, so almost miraculous, that it was prophesied freely he was born to be hanged, and that Providence simply then took the proper time. Then the mooligher only took another deep drink of the product of his cousin, the moonshiner, whipped up his horses and careened on his way to where an oil well was to be shot. Probably the most reckless thing he could outside of the original way in which he cared for the Creek, was when he drove one-half of Petrolia to the hills and the other half to the cellars. Money was as plenty as whisky and flowed as freely in the mad days of old Petrolia, and Hank always had a good day be got an order to deliver the goods at Philips Well No. 1 in Thorn Creek, as it was to be shot that night. Hank had been drinking, and a delegation of citizens quietly informed him at the public bar that he would better get out of town to be caught with his double load of explosives. An Insult to Be Avenged. Hank isn't anything, but looked a little ugly, and soon went to the shed and found a new team. There with shaking hand, but drunken deliberation, he carefully poured from his cans about five quarts of nitroglycerine into a ten-quart shell, as the long tin can is called that is used [1] shooting a well. Then unhitching his best and most restive horse he saddled it. BACHELORS WHO CAN COOK The bachelor who entertains his friends after the theater at a superior cooked and served in his own rooms is the popular man this season. Hotel repares have become an old story, and in no question eating place has been visited so often that they have grown commonplace. The man who can cook offers a novelty in the way of entertaining that appeals to his guests, especially to those of the feminine gender who enjoy the highly seasoned, odious dishes that you can animate teammates. Many men have an instinctive talent for cooking and a genuine liking for it, while nine women out of ten regard it as their forte. Many men have been adepts in the art, among them Brillat Savarin, Dumas, Thackery, Sala, Dau Maurier, Ingersoll, Touceault and W. J. Florence. Of modern men there are few who have left behind clubs as being admirable chefs. George Augustus Sala admitted that the kitchen had a peculiar fascination for him. He loved the kitchen, and he loved young and years afterward, when they had grown rich and entertained celebrities, they had a wonderfully lit laboratory where they personally prepared the meals. The men wereners that were famous for their excellence. Men are apt to make a specially one of their own. The amount of pride with experience NITROGLYCERINE HANK MOON TERRORIZING A TOWN WITH A SHELL OF NITROGLYCERINE SAVING AN OIL WELL FROM DESTRUCTION clambered into the saddle and with the reins in one hand and the can of nitroglucerine in the other he started out to teach the town better manners than to hint that he and his death-dealing ex-convict were there. A more valuable of the nitroglucerine, by the which they can prepare it. In their arrangement of men for their suppers they are sensible, enough to avoid a large number of vinas, serving two or three things well selected and prepared. They will go to great trouble to obtain an excellent quality of fish, game or whatever with, and are not particular as to the cost and the result is that the bachelor supper stands first in the list of entertainments for paid stewards and chefs will rarely take the trouble to look out for a stallmate; men are not initially gifted with the food, come to pass that one of the women teachers of cooking numbers several New York men among her private pupils this season. Before this, she taught men in other cities and a few years ago conceived a chasing dish class for men in Brooklyn. Men are fondest of cooking oysters, lobster and birds of all sorts. They are especially proficient with steaks, but the double club skew favored by men does not lend gracefully to chashing dish meat. They are also good sauces. When there are omelets and sweetbreads cooked in various ways, terrapin, kidney, mushrooms and rabbits. These are all favored in the bachelor supper men. So proficient are some of these cooks that their triumphs become the names and gain a place upper hotel. They are never the same in hotels as when cooked by the hand of their origin. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., SATURDAY JUNE 15. 1901. way, is sufficient to blow a man apart. The big, powerful fellow, reeling in the saddle and whirling the shell over the saddle and whirling up the lap at, then starting to plunging up the main streets, his horse half the time in the air with his frightened jumps and actor. It is the personality of the cook that makes the flavor of the dish and gives it its distinction. Frederic Remington, the artist, has us a specialty the broiling of steaks, which was also an accomplishment of the late 19th century. He was a member of the camp, as he acquired his proficiency on the gridron on Western ranches. Richard Harding Davis, Chandos Fulton and Edgar kneewet are among the literary men who can prepare certain dishes of meat. The grilled steak is perhaps the most famous of the amateur cooks. He is an adept in the preparation of difficult Spanish and Italian dishes. He has also invented dishes. His recipe in terrapin cooking caused a revolution in the cooking of meat favored in Philadelphia and Maryland. One of his original inventions is a preparation of oysters and eggs. The volks and whites of six eggs are mixed in a bowl and the oysters are cut up in another dish. The bottom of a chasing dish is rubbed with anchovy paste and a large piece of butter added. In this the eggs are scrambled. As soon as they begin to cook, the oysters are added to the mixture together until cooked. This is served on toast spread with anchovy paste. Henry Guy Carleton is a gifted cook being proficient in making curried sausages, potato and vegetable broth may be made after his method by boiling a chopped onion in a pot of water and a half Hank let out a yell every time the animal touched high places, and informing the good people of Petrolia what he thought of them, with the added and unintended help of the man he was going to blow them all to Hades. There was only one thing to do, and the entire town either hid or to its heels to escape the inevitable catastrophe, as experience had taught the people of Petrolia that nifty-glycerine "never would be used." Hank Stewart was treating that sequester one man, Charley Newman, drew a revolver when Hank rode his plunging horse three steps up into the tavern barroom. "Hank!" he yelled, "I'm going to shoot," "Shoot ahead," leered Hank, holding the shell high above his head. "You shoot and she drops sure." Argument being useless and killing Hank also being certain suicide, Newlan did the worst thing possible, and incontinently took to his heels, cursing Hank Stewart to all perdition. That made Hank mad, and he followed, pretty nearly going the same way. He passed down the steps. Then Hank had the supreme satisfaction of chasing the most fearless man in the oil country, with a big revolver in his hand, down Main street, bellowing rude remarks all the way for the edification of the town where he lived hillsides, and all the time slamming around with leckless abandon what seemed to the uninitiated only a queer-looking, elongated bright tin can. Selised With an inspiration. Having seized the town and got even with the men who had insulted him so much, the men who had insulted him so much, Hank was seized with an inspiration. In the center of the diamond common to all country towns was an old windlass well. Once having got his eye on it, nothing tablespoonful of butter and a teaspoonful of the very best curry powder, which must be stirred in until it is dark brown. Next add a quart of clam broth and milt throughout. Add two tea ounces of boiled water and stir the mixture. Let the mixture simmer for five minutes and serve in hot cups with chutney sauce. Another of his noted dishes is white steak a la Carleton. Two ounces of white meat in a bison broth is bisonseed of mushroom catuped added with two tablespoonfuls of currant jelly, a gill of port wine, a dash of cayenne and a pinch of salt. Simmer the steak and add the juice of the laurel and serve hot. J. E. Dodson, the actor, is master of the Welsh rebeath, a dish usually most abused in its preparation by amateur cooks. He makes a rarebit after the recipe used by W. J. Florence, using paprika in place of red pepper, and he bakes it in a pan with a wooden spoon. The bread or toast must be plunged in the hot cheese with a fork, instead of pouring the cheese over the toast, which is the custom with some malt drinks. He embores Delmonico made famous a canape named in his honor and still served as the Fifth avenue restaurant. It is made in this way. Drop a mix of Mild-shell creme in hot water, well ice, and pour it over the canape and remove. When cold can be lifted up, extract all the meat, including that of the claws. Season with one teaspoonful of would do except that he should make his horse jump over that well, platform and all. His evident determination seemed to please the town camped on the hill, and he would return soon. With two hikes the shell with a yell swirling the shell with monotonic regularity, and twice the horse sled, his rider hurled heavily in the saddle and all but topping off to his certain death, for the moment he and that shell hit the ground it was all over. For the third animal, the monotonic animal and made a dash for the old bookcase the frame of which stood about four feet high. The horse never had made such a jump before; neither Hank; but the animal reared to it. As he did so, Hank's needs flew up, he dropped the directly under the horse and started to run over its haunches as the town on the hillside put its hands to its ears. Hank would have rolled back over the horse's launches to the ground had there been any haunches there; but that nitroglycerine was too impatient to wait until Hank hit the ground, so it could get a hold of it. But the thing around there went off with it, including the well, which seemed to have been pulled out by the roots. Hauk a Lone Survivor. On the night of the attack, blood of smoke the villagers decided that the best thing to do was to ill up the hole and put a headstone for Hank over it; but Hank objected to that. He was lying on his back, and he was about to be the skin of a horse, taking a long pincipate a bottle to steady his nerves. He was absolutely unhurt except for a case of total deafness which lasted a month. In the end, Hank was able to animal had protected him perfectly from the effects of the nitro-glycerine, which had exploded directly under it. All that salt and a pinch of cayenne. There should be one pint of cayenne. This can be also purchased in quantity at the fish dealers, although correct cooks prefer a pint of cayenne. It is difficult prices of cooking the crate. Place a saucepan with a tablespoonful of butter on the nre; add two tablespoonfuls of minced white onion, took five minutes without browning; add one heaping tablespoonful of minced onion; and half a cup of white broth; stir for a few minutes longer, then add the crate meat; stir and cook eight minutes. Cut six slices of bread, remove the crusts, and fry in butter to a light brown on both sides. Place the bread in portions over the bread and set aside. Meanwhile one tablespoonful of butter must be heated. Add one tablespoonful of flour, cook and stir for a few minutes tablespoonful of grated Parmesan cheese mix the ingredients well and form into round balls of equal size. Place them in the center of the canapes, pressing a little in the center. Put the canapes into hot oven, which will take about ten minutes; then serve on a hot dish with champagne as an accompaniment. At a bachelor supper given this season, we made a special of a French artichoke dish, a dish that is a special importation, each being a perfect specimen. The shape and beauty were preserved in the cookings. One was served with a lemon sauce, and the resembles mavonius in consistency, but HANK STEWART MOONLIGHTER was left of the animal was the skin of his back and, say, about a foot of horse that remained to make a soft cushion for Hank to fall on. He drank drunk. But not long after that there came an excellent illustration of Hank sober. He had a contract to shoot a well in the early Thorn Creek district in Butter County, 9a., and, as usual, he selected a moonlit night, and made a fortune for his owner, he could double his fortune by anticipating its effect on the market; if a dry hole and in an important district, he also could play the market and make money on the announcement that he had advance insurance. This well was an important one, being in a new field, and it had been made a "mystery"; that is, it had been boarded up tightly, so that the olls scout could not get information, regarding it, as the owner had made friends. Hank was as straight as a plumb that night, and carefully took his fifty quarts of nitro-glycerine to the place. There he found the owner, two or three friends, and intended to jet in the secret, the driller, and all sworn to secrecy, also was Hank. The shell was filled carefully, attached to a wire, and the lowering of it into the well was begun. Puy sand had and Hank sand had, and Hank began to lower the shell he noticed a distinct odor of fresh oil about the stream of gas pouring up through the casing of the well. All this was in perfect darkness, except to reflection from the sun, a point 1,500 feet away, mitted because of the heavy gas pressure and the expectation of a big flow of oil when the shot was set off 1,500 feet below ground. Hank made a remark that the driller had a point 1,500 feet away into the oil sand further than he intended, then added concoction with a small amount of mustard, paprika, salt, oil and a drop or two each of tarragon, estrogen and malt vinegar. The artichokes were bottled until temprature, estrogen and malt vinegar, then cooled thoroughly and served cold. Lobster a la Newburg and oysters a la Newburg are popular bachelor party dishes. Oysters served in this way are served in a large bowl, and the others, such as are used in frying. Place them, without their liquor, in the chasing dish, add one tablespoonful of butter, one gill of white wine, one teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoonful of sugar. When the oysters are cooked add to them the following mixture, which must be cooked in the meantime: Cut very fine one gill of mushrooms and one truffle, one half gill of mushroom and one half gill of mushroom. Cook for five minutes and add the yolks of four eggs and a pint of rich cream. Put with the oysters and let the mixture get very thick, then bring; then serve with puff paste in mango. The service of one of these bachelor suppers must be informal to be enjoyable. One servant may pass the dishes, but some times the men guests will perform the cooking, then round and well-polished oak or mahogany, and instead of the conventional cloth linen doilies may be used. The chasing dish has the place of honor, and it is served with almonds and sweets if desired—New York Bin. $2.40 PER YEAR. regions STEWART LIGHTER denly shouted: "Run, boys, she's going to flow!" They ran. That simply means to all concerned who stood there, as a natural flow of oil was coming, and it would throw the shell out and explode it beyond a doubt. The shell had been lowered only a few inches, and it plainly coming up, banging against the sides of the iron casing, pushed by a strong flow of oil and gas unexpectedly freed from the pay sand. The exit of the boarded-in derailer, but there wasn't one chance in a thousand that the men who ran could get away. Anyway, the depriving owner was half finished to and go up with his hopes, for when the well was ruined, the well was ruined. Somehow Hank was not in the scramble for the door, nor was he in the race for the床, and somehow that shell didn't go off as soon as expected, because it was flowing, as the splash splash of oil could be heard for some distance. "Hank! Hank!" the men called. But there was no answer, except the splashing of oil and the deep southing of the gas forcing Hank. "Hank, the Hero." Hank, fearless as ever, had determined insincently that he either would go up with the shooting match or save it all. There she was, and the chain lightning is slow compared with nitro-glycerine. Anyway, there was a faint hope that he might save his companions by holding the shell in the well and then he would be swamped by gas would be asphyxiated by the great flow of gas that already was making his head swim, and then he would disappear with everything else around him. He would be on each elbow, he encircled the top of the well casing with his arms, leaving back his head so that he might not strangle too soon. Braced thus the powerful fellow the coming of that shell and death. The shell came swiftly, its tin sides clanging against the casing, despite the cushion of oil and gas between them. Then there came a great flow of gas and he was blinded too soon to see what he was looking for—a streak of white dimly seen in the moonlight. Closing his strong arms, he crushed to his breast the shell. The strong flow of oil almost tore from his feet, but nothing could wrest that shell from Hank then. Inch by inch he permitted it to come up after the first force jolt that raised his two feet from the ground. The ounce of his strength gone, almost fell blindly out of the roar of oil and gas into the bright moonlight, clapping to be the fifty quartes of concentrated oil if he could not object of earth. Decepted with oil and almost overcome with the fumes of gas, Hank could not walk far, and was seen to tootter. The men who had just escaped death didn't help him to lay the dangerous burrow down. Then they patted the breath into Hank and told him what a brave old fellow he was, which was entirely unnecessary, as he was more keen aware of the mess he had passed through them. "NO," said Mr. Meldersgrass, "the Consolidated. Combined Colossal Megatherium and Mastodonic Monarchs of the Minstrel World didn't do well in our study.

That the damnable prejudice of whites against blacks works to the detriment of the latter even in Africa is evidenced by the following local, which we copy from the South African Spectator of April 20: CAPETOWN POLICE COURT. Half-a-dozen colored people, not aboriginals, and a white man, were charged with vagrancy. They were found on the slopes of the mountain sleeping in a bunch. They all pleaded guilty. To the European the magistrate said: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself." The European: "I am, sir, it's the solid truth, and that's a fact. I have only just left a medical staff corps, and would like a chance." The magistrate fined the white man £2 or fourteen days, and sent the others to prison for a month's hard labor—Umph! Another item tells of "The Constitution of the Plasterers' Union." in which the following appears: "That this union shall be comprised of all operative plasterers (colored labor excepted)." NO WONDER. Her Friend-Jack raised Cain with his wife about that brandy sauce she served with the pudding; he has conscientious scruples! Jack's Sister-Not at all; it wasn't strong enough. The "Spectator" pays its compliments to "Judas Iscariot-Hannibal Thomas" in these words: "Let the wretch live on, execrated by his own, condemned by the white race, and cursed by all things animate." so white he could not be proved to have a strain of black blood in him, so he ordered him buried in the cemetery especially for Afro-Americans. Now, what will become of the poor fellow on resurrection day? Will he go to the kitchen with the black angels? Some time ago an Afro-American resident of Chicago who had killed a man and escaped from a Southern prison was detected and returned to prison. His case now finds a counterpart in the case of Thomas J. Fish, a white man who killed an Afro-American in Crab Orchard, Ky., in 1886, and who has since lived in Vincennes, Ind., where he has married and has four children. He has been detected and returned to Kentucky for trial. Of course it is claimed the man killed was a desperado and that the killing was in self-defense and there is little danger that any harm will come to Fish, who was, it appears, only an accomplice. His recapture only shows what some men will do for a little money. The Kentucky authorities had lost all trace of the murderers until recently when, through A. J. Shannon, now a deputy sheriff of Crab Orchard, a former schoolmate and friend of the fugitives, caused both to be brought back for trial in the hope of getting the reward of $250, still considered valid, for their capture. John D. Rockefeller has made some more good use of some of the money with which he is so bountiful supplied. And this time the "man and brother" is the beneficary. He has given three scholarships of the annual value of $500 to Teachers' college, Columbia university, for teachers from the Southern industrial schools. The announcement of Mr. Rockefeller's gift was made last week by Dean Russell. The condition attached to the scholarships is that the candidates shall have shown fitness and success in experimental teaching. One scholarship is to be awarded to a graduate of the Rev. Booker T. Washington's school at Tuskegee, another to the Spellman seminary at Atlanta, Ga., and the third to a graduate of Hampton institute. He has also notified Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee normal and industrial institute, that he will be glad to provide money for the erection of one of the much-needed dormitories for boys at the institution. We have heard folks declare that no matter how white an Afro-American might be he could be easily distinguished from a simon pure Caucasian, but it seems not to be true. Last Saturday the body of an unknown man apparently about fifty years old, was found in the Roanoke river near Roanoke, Va. The face and parts of the body exposed to the sun were very black, but his clothes indicated that he was white, hair and portions of his body covered the undertaker who was summoned from this city, is positive he was a white man, but the coroner, who thought he was an Afro-American, would not take any chances on making the whites who were buried in the cemetery for whites, turn in their graves by planting among them a man THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER so white he could not be proved to have a strain of black blood in him, so he ordered him buried in the cemetery especially for Afro-Americans. Now, what will become of the poor fellow on resurrection day? Will he go to the kitchen with the black angels? The only argument left to Democrats under the existing order of things is the contention that the advance in prices has been greater than the advance in wages and the claim that "a day's wages now will not buy as much as it would five years ago." Absurd as such a claim is it is the basis of pretty much everything set up by the organ of the new Democracy, Mr. Bryan's "Commoner." There is evidence enough that the people are satisfied with things as they are. There was evidence enough of it last fall when the nation re-elected President McKinley by the largest majority ever given a candidate for president. The constitutional convention now in session in Alabama, is overwhelmed with ordinances to disfranchise the Afro-American, more than 350 schemes having been presented. If the convention adopts any fair plan which will be applicable to white and black alike, without discrimination, the Afro-Americans of this country will be satisfied. All we ask is a square deal. Judge Arba N. Waterman, of the circuit court of Cook county, Illinois, has written a book entitled "A Century of Caste," and its narrative is a plea for the Afro-American, whose freedom the author claims has just begun. It is claimed to be the equal of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and must be productive of much good. J. D. Pearman, an Afro-American has been elected justice of the peace from Varina district in Henrico county, Va. Death of a Famous Woman who won a Famous Suit. New York, June 8—Elizabeth Jinnings Graham, who once retained Chester A. Arthur as her counsel in a suit against a street railroad company, died on Wednesday morning at her home, 237 West Forty-first street. She was born for Graham street, now Park Row, seventy-fourth age. Her father, Thomas Jinnings, sent her to the public schools. When the time arrived for her to be graduated the parents of all the white children in her school declared that she must have attended the same time their children did; she must not have any part in the graduating exercises. They won their point. But the board of education hired a hall and at a meeting attended the Abolitionists in town the little girl was taught the exercises in her honor, and received a diploma to teach in public schools. She was assigned to a school in Leonard street attended by Afro-American children only. After that she moved to Macauga street, and after that she moved to Fremont and Afro-American children in her charge. She taught for thirty-five years. On July 18, 1855, the conductor on a Bowery horse car put her off his car because of her color. Through her father she brought suit against the court, and she was sent to Arthur, afterward president, was sent to the feeling in New York against Afro-Americans was so strong at the time that the case was tried before Justice Rockwell in Brooklyn, and she won. Mrs. Graham was an officer of the Society of African Americans and a member of several charitable organizations. She married Thomas Graham, a caterer, who died many years ago.

The child was asleep on a dark dawn bed under a window under him. When Officer Larrick came on the scene with the Ninth Precinct patrol wagon he had quite a time rousing the baby. Before the wagon reached the station the youngster was again fast asleep, and at the station it was with difficulty it was again awakening and drugged.

She then went upstairs and nothing more was heard from her until 10 o'clock Sunday morning, when she heard her father after having called her for some time and no answer, went to her room. There she found her daughter lying on the bed fully dressed and in an unconscious condition. Word was at one sent to the Eighth precinct station and immediately telephoned for the Fortman's Hospital ambulance. The girl was placed in it and taken to that institution, where, after using the stomach pump upon her, the surgeon stated that she would recover. She would give no reason for her rash act. Tuesday and Wednesday the Afro-American High School was thrown open to the public for an inspection of the work of the pupils of the school, the school board, and Tuesday afternoon, when the District Commissioners and school officials were plotted through the various rooms where the work has been arranged, by H. Terrell, principal of the school. The large high school building was full of attractions from the basement to the roof, to those interested in school work. Perhaps the pride of the school was that the students were trained school adjacent. This was arranged in the large class room at the left of the main entrance to the building, and contained the production of carpets and boys in both wood and iron work, and a highly practical. From a good-sized model of a house, there was everything in wood work from a rolling pin to an elaborate inlaid book case. In the iron work, the students were in order, as well as a lattice section, attracted attention at the works of boys. Very fine sets of steel tools, which have been produced in the school, as well as constructive iron fences and the like, filled the room. The work of the business department of the school, with its one hundred pupils, lined the walls and desks of one of the rooms on the second floor. This work was also practical, consisting of typewriting, business papers of a scriptures and legal contracts, all produced and executed by the pupils. In the chemical laboratory the pupils were on hand and made demonstrations and experiments to those of the students who were interested, while in the large room the second floor a most ingenious display was arranged. This room was equipped with power furnished by electric motors, the work of the pupils. In the second floor the room, which was at the end of the room, was a table on which was built a town, including a waterworks, a turbine mill, an electric light plant, fire alarm and street car system, which combines the underground, single and double trolley systems, the shop and devices were in running order and operated by the motor in the rear. In this room also was an interesting exhibit of electrotyping in the shape of a balloon and halfstone work. Zinc etchings were also the regular drawing rooms. This complete photograph outlining, including dark room. The large assembly hall was given over to the exhibit of the art department, also the regular drawing rooms. This room, or pencil and charcoal sketches, and was tazetta arranged on white back THE RAT grounds, while the rooms were decorated with palms and plants, making a pleasing and artistic display. The school also offered many attractions in its line, as did also the rooms devoted to the English, German, Latin and history and mathematical exhibits. From 10 o'clock Monday morning until 3 in the afternoon Judge Scott's desk in the police court resembled the counter of a large department store. The occasion was the trial of Josephine McCormick, a former officer of stealing various dainty articles of apparel from Mrs. W. W. Johnston, white of 1603 K. street northwest, which were piled on the judge's desk by court by lawyers and for identification by a large array of witnesses. Throughout the long and tedious trial, Mrs. Johnston was a spectator, and a number of society women were also present. Ex-Senator William E. Chan present the defense of the strongest witnesses for the defense of the garrisons, counsel for the accused throughout the hearing of the case. During the trial there were several amusing passages at arms between counsel and witnesses as to the trimming and particular details of the garrisons, linen and lace. Prosecution of the garrisons had apparently informed himself thoroughly on gores, hemstitches, tucks, flouces, and borders, cross-examined several of the witnesses for the defense who had been put on the stand articles as the property of the defendant. Mrs. Hattie Darnell, a dressmaker, of Alexandria, testified that she had made the three linen nightgowns for the accused girl, Josephine Johnson, six years ago. She ordered them and all those covers at the time because she was about to be married," said the witness. Two clergymen gave the girl an excellent character, and Mrs. Laura E. French, of Alexandria, Va., for whom she went on the stand and spoke of her. Ex-Senator Chandler was the last witness called for the defense: He told of the visit of the detectives to home, called the girl before them," he said, "and told her that she need not talk if she did not desire to converse with them. They said they were looking for a watch, and she at once opened her trunk and allowed them to watch everything. They did not find any watch, and they were underwear in the trunk when Mrs. Johnston's. The girl came to me excellently recommended," he added. After arguments by Attorney Thompson, the defense, and Mr. Mullowney, Judge Scott dismissing the charge remarking: "Up to the time the detectives saw these dainty articles of underwear in the trunk Mrs. Johnston had made no effort to have missing such articles. She had shown her loss in a watch. I believe she lost other articles, but in this case I believe that the zazolous detectives led Mrs. Johnston into claiming these particular articles as hers. The prepon- the evidence is with the defense, and I am the accused." The Johnson girl got an ovation from a number of friends AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL Call for Annual Meeting at Philadelphia — Louisiana Test Case. The fourth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., (preably in the City Council Chamber), Wednesday and Friday, August 7 and 8, 1901, 9, 1902, church, college, benevolent society, and other race organizations, and editors of race newspapers, will be representant is the purpose of the officers to make it possible for the most potent for good of any which the council has ever held. In recent years Philadelphia has been the storm center of several important national gathers for the discussion of the race question; for the discussion of race ways been the most favorable for the Negro. We now have an opportunity to refute the erroneous statements which have been made there, and change the sentiment which has been created by the enemies of the race who have selected the "Quaker City" as the forum from which to hurl their philippics and inoffensive people on account of the color and previous condition of servitude. Again, it is our earnest desire to collect sufficient funds at this meeting to pay the remaining expenses of our case. We have just received notice from our lawyer A. A. Birney of Washington D. C., informing us that the case is progressing satisfactorily. (A full report of this case will be made at the hearing.) We have already ready paid $1000 for cources $500 are now due. One thousand dollar lars more will be needed when the final decision has been rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States. If there ever was a time when every Negro college, college, benevolent society, church, or university sends representatives, accompanied by the annual tax of five dollars, to a great national gathering, now is that time. The meeting should be so great in numbers and influence as to forever set at rest the oft-repeated statement that the Supreme Court represented in his civil and political rights. The basis of membership, as provided for by the constitution, is: "The Afro-American Council shall be composed of members as follows: (1) Members of the Council, (2) Council delegates, representing duly accredited Local Councils. (3) Affiliated delegates, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes, co-operate with the Afro-American Council, and the Council shall be entitled to representation in the National Council' by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate to every fifty members, said delegates to the National Council, and the Council shall be entitled to the annual tax of five dollars. Religious and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral education of their members, and which desire credentials and payment of the annual tax of five dollars.

Religious and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral education of their members, and which desire credentials and payment of the annual tax of five dollars." The citizens of Philadelphia are preparing to entertain the Council on a magnificent scale. A special rate of fare and a third on the certificate plan will be available to delegates. Those who intend visiting the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo on their way to or from the Council meeting, will be allowed a "stop over" at Philadelphia, thus getting the advantage of a visit to the ALEXANDER WALTERS.

Greene's Inkless Printing. A device for printing by means of an electric current and without ink is reported as the invention of an Englishman, F. Greene of London. Certain chemicals which are instantly decomposed on an electrical current, producing an indible mark, are mingled with the pulp during the process of manufacturing. An ordinary press, divested of the inking mechanism, can be used. One wire of an electric circuit is attached to the type or stereotype plate and the other to the cylinder that presses the paper against the type. When the current passes through, every spot in relief on the type touching the paper prints its form indibly on the paper almost exactly as if ink were used, except that there is no dampening and no smearing. The current passing through an ordinary incandescent light is sufficient to do all the printing on a large press. In a recent test the press was run at the rate of 100 impressions a minute, and the work was declared perfect in every wav. AN ANT ARMY. Fifteen Thousand Insects March to a Mound. There are other armies in South Africa besides the Boers and the British; armies of very little folk, which go out in foraging expeditions when they colonies stand in need of supplies—forays planned and executed with military precision, and, as a general thing, uniformly successful. I speak of an army of ants. A close observer, residing in South Africa, describes one of these forays in the following way: "The army, which I IT AFFECTED HIM.

The head of the column halted on reaching the foot of the mound and waited for the rest of the force to arrive at the place of operations, which evidently was to be the mound of fresh earth. When the remainder had arrived and halted so that the entire army was assembled, a number of ants detached themselves from the main body and began to as- Correct Dress from Head to Foot.

Very soon a number from the detachment which had ascended the mound or illiputian kopje, evidently the attacking party, entered the loose earth and speedily returned, each bearing a cricket or a young grasshopper dead which he deposited upon the ground and then returned for a fresh load. Those who had remained on the outside of the mound, took up the crickets and grasshoppers as they were brought out and bore them down to the base of the hill, returning at once for fresh victims. Soon the contents of the mound seemed to be exhausted, and then the whole force returned home, each carrying his burden of food for the community." TED HIM.

The customary impression of Texas, which obtains in the North is that of a very large but rather arid country, given over mostly to grazing, and inhabited by a rather dangerous and lawless people, who carry bowle-knives and revolvers openly, and use them with little or no provocation.

The truth is that Texas has passed through the early stages of settlement in very much the same way that Illinois, Wisconsin and the other imperial states of the Northwest did, half a century ago. She was at first retarded by the institution of slavery, by a bad seacost and by the great distances of land travel which had to be overcome in reaching her fertile prairies. Texas now has 10,000 miles of railway and this mileage is rapidly increasing. Only two states (Pennsylvania and Illinois) exceed her in this respect, and these will be soon outstripped. Texas has no large cities as ON A B yet, none with as many as 60,000 inhabitants, but she has many large, thriving towns, but these are growing with the same rapidity as Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis in the early 70s. All the appliances of the higher civilization abound in Texas, as in the Northern states. The telephone, both local and long-distance, is found everywhere. Electric lighting is found in the smaller towns, and also water supply from reservoirs, artesian wells conduits and all the modern appliances for cleanliness and health. Schools, churches and universities abound, of a type no whit inferior to those of the North, except as the latter have the advantage of age and the accumulation of the past. These are among the things which the visiting delegates of New York mercantile bodies have found in the Lone Star state. They have seen also the vast areas of soil, yielding wheat, cotton, and corn on alternate fields, and vast herds of cattle finding pasture on the open prairie—not the lanky, crooked-horned animals of the 70s and 80s, but the finer broods of Holstein, Jersey and Durham. They have also seen oil wells of almost fabulous yield. LOVES TO TELL STORIES. New Jersey's Attorney General Is a Capital Entertainer. Attorney General Grey of New Jersey is the recognized humorist of the present administration of that state, and he gets more genuine enjoyment out of official life than any other man on the state roster. He has been in practice for forty-three years, and has been associated with the prominent men of that and adjoining states. He is heavily charged with reminiscences of the bar and stories of legal procedure. On that account he is no sooner seen by the older set of practitioners than a swapping of stories begins, the attorney general giving two for one. He is always a welcome guest at the luncheons given in the governor's chambers Tuesdays. These are, as a rule, regarded as cabinet dinners, and the luncheon hour is devoted to informal discussions of state affairs, with an occasional story of the attorney general thrown in. The attorney general often runs across some old friends in the governor's reception and they make at once for an easy corner, where the story telling begins. Occasionally the governor will join the group, and the "smoking stories" will go on indefinitely, unless state duties or the time to catch a train cause ... flow of humor and wit to cease. The attorney general scarcely ever takes the serious side of anything. In his office, in court or in the corridors his fund of humor crops out. A newspaper reporter who seeks to interview him always comes away smiling, having heard a good joke, but precious little news. Sultan's Kitchen a Fortreis. The private kitchen of the sultan of Turkey is a veritable fortress, consisting of a small chamber situated to the right of the great entrance, and is guarded by barred windows and an armor-plated door. The cook officiates under the ever watchful eye of the kerlardjih bachi, one of the most weighty functionaries in Yildiz palace at Constantinople, for the health, the very life even, of the ruler is at his mercy. When cooked each dish is fastened with red wax, bearing the official seal of the kerlardjih, and remains hermetically closed until the seals are broken in the sultan's presence. John F. Crowell, of Brooklyn, a writer on economic subjects, says that the most ambitious people in the South today are Afro-Americans. DR. O. D.
