VOL. 17. NO. 25. THE BALEARIC ISLA A Remarkable Archipellago, But Little Kn the Outside World. THE BALEARIC ISLANDS Pajama, Island of Malacca, Special Correspondence, May 1, 1901.-H is a subject of continual regret among travelers in this part of the world that their itinerary was not planned. The ships which are not visited by any of the steamships flying between Mediterranean ports. The only regular communication with them is by a line of dirty little triship vessels coming from Colombia, whose disreputable looking caboons, the air of pirates to be chosen as companions on a pleasure excursion. Therefore we gratefully accepted the invitation of our English friends to prolong the yachting season to this most interesting archipelago. Spain seems to be purposefully keeping these last possessions in the background, lest they, too, with the knowledge of good and evil, should follow the wayward expansion of the country. Fancy that many well-informed readers will inquire, "Where are the Baleicar island?" So completely they have passed on. They are almost forgotten by the neighboring islands they seem to have disappeared entirely from the world's commercial reckoning. Their social, political and industrial condition remains precisely the same as two skillful silhouettes accompanied the Roman armies. Yet there are few places on the globe of greater interest in scenery, history and mannants; an army note with more than 100,000 soldiers beyond computing in mineral and agricultural possibilities, and Spain does well, from her selfish point of view, in discouraging them, which would竭 to their enlightenment. The group of half a dozen islands lies midway between the coasts of Spain and Africa, directly opposite the Province of Valencia, Palma, its capital, and principal port, is a matter of only eight miles and a few hours' sailing from Barcelona. The name Balearic was no doubt derived from the island of Baleares, the largest of the expertness of the islanders with the sling, to the use of which they were trained from infancy. Their slingers were among amusements and games, and for five hundred years rendered excellent service on every bit- ```markdown ``` PALMA BAY, MAJCBCA the field of the Romans. When the AR-maida sailed for the conquest of England a body of Balfaric slingers was among the picked warriors. To this day a sling was used by the Romans to deliver he delights in traditions of the marvelous dexterity of his soldier-ancestors, who, like the lk-tenhund sons of Benjamin, the old-time Hebrew, "could sling to his feet." The island boy is taught in this way. His dinner is put into a frail vase of pottery and suspended from the branch of a tree, and he must break the vase with a stone from his sling before he can climb. He must be a expert, a cord is substituted for the vase, as a mark. His food is tied up in a cloth and hung high as Haman, and his dinner hour depends upon how soon he can sever the string with a stone. As among the names of the Bavarian knights, who are murdered with knives, all murders committed in these islands are done by means of the sling. It is cheap ammunition, and a man who is whacked on the temple with a stone, shiled with unmerging aim by some hidden enemy, can be killed with a knife. Every Balearic shepherd and herdman carries his sling in his girdle, both for offense and defense. He can sling a pebble so softly as merely to curl the ear of a attaching lung, or hurt it with a cord so thick as to brain a robber or provoking animal. The principal islands of the archipelago are Moraca, (the largest, as its name indicates); Minorca, the smallest; Ivena and Formentera; and beaches are areal islands. They are called 'rabbit islands' and several others. Their combined area is about 2,000 square miles, and the present population nearly 300,000. Their authentic history goes back several centuries. The islands are located in a central position between Europe and Africa, they were for ages a favorite bone of content, successively gnawed by bioclimatics, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. They were taken by Don Jamie I. in the year 1229. Then followed a short period of independence, during which the islanders distinguished themselves as the leaders of the kingdom. Don Jamie I. underdeveloped kingdom was merged into that of Aragon, under Pedro IV., and it has ever since remained a province of Spain. On the west they present a series of precipitous cliffs, haunted by screaming birds and indented by numerous bays, while on the east dark forests of pine and hemlock slope gradually from the central mountains to the sea. Mauna Loa is the tallest of the forty miles long and of equal width. The --- beautiful Bay of Palma, on the south west, is one of a dozen equally good around the small circuit of the island, but is of the most importance because its port is also capital of the province of Granada, a large and general. At a little distance out you discern no break in the wall of cities—it suddenly a tall promontory is rounded, a narrow opening appears, through which you sail into a wide and sheltered expanse of water. On either side are the towers, and presently the city of Palma, on its terraced hillside, looms into view, flanked by suburbs of summer villas, which are occupied during a portion of every year by rich merchants from Barcelona. You are shown the very spot where the great battle was fought, just 672 years ago this month of April, and where the great battle was fought which gave Majora to the Christians. It is related that after the fight the weared king wiped his bloody sword upon his double, and entered the near city, where the peasant was garlic, all the peasant possessed, were set before him, and after the king had eaten he laid a gold piece upon the bench and remarked "Ben dinet," "I have dined well." To-day the site of the cottage is occupied by a magnificent manor, the marquis de la Romany, and later passed to the marquis of Bute, but is now owned by the Montengro family. At first sight Palma town is very striking, with its ancient castles and innumerable windmills; its narrow-winding streets, cool, clean and shady; its many churches and noble cathedrals, with fly-overs and spires; its grand cathedral was begun by Don Jamie immediately after the victory, in gratitude to the saints who helped him, but it was not finished until 1001—nearly four centuries later. It was never fully completed, and all the towers are yet bricked up. Its capital reed (royal chapel), in the oldest part of the building, is very fine. It was intended as the burial place of the king of Malta, and the great sarcophagus of yellow marble, with cushion, and within it is the toky X or jon name nimset. If you have a fancy for grusome sights a bit of silver will induce the sacristan to pull out the royal mummy, which is incased in a comin with a glass cove. It is in comin of state, which, so an inscription informs us, were provided by Queen Isabel and the king of Spain, not state how she managed to put them on him after he had slumbered in his grave for more than five hundred years. The "cernime" cape is made of black and white cotton, and the rest is equally tawny, which is kept as a show, for revenue. It is worth another coin to be shown the rich contents of the cathedral treasury. There is a pair of super candelabra, containing sixteen thousands ounces of gold, rubies and emeralds; and an arm of Saint Sebastian, brought from the plague, to save Mayer From the plague. Close to the cathedral is the ancient Moorish palace, now the residence of the captain general and the audencia. One night spend a profitable week here, visiting old churches and palaces.

It is divided into compartments by immense horizontal caryatides, which seem to support the roof. The building contains some extremely rare and valuable paintings; among them a Vandyk of which only one other example is known to exist—the original study, which is exhibited in the national gallery at Edinburgh, Scotland. The Lonja, or Exchange, is the most beautiful building in the island, and the only one of architectural pretensions built for a purely civil purpose. The site was used for a church, and the building was not finished for two hundred years. It is rectangular in plan, divided by rows of fluted columns, the convolutions of which are continued as groins on the vaulted roof, suggesting a palm tree on the ground. Between the towers, at ecal distance, rise two slender turrets at the level of the roof, while the browning feature is a series of square windows, ornamented with indented battlements, the base of each tower is the colossal base of a saint, covered with a Gothic canopy.

By the common people, who are very much interested in the art for their support, these are popularly called buttarares ("big sausages," much as we speak of "bloated bondholders." In the Rue de Palma is the "Casa de Bonaparte," a beautiful building, which overlooks the entire palace, with its triple-light windows and the richly sculptured capitals of its slender marble pillars. The tradition is that Hugo Bonaparte, grandfather of Napoleon, lived here until the year 1800. He then formed part of the kingdom of Aragon), as governor of that island. In another street is the house where Charles V. lived during his visit here in 1451, before setting on his desacious expedition to the city of Naples, in his ugly portrait, carved in stone. SAVED FROM TO KEN LEWIS SAVED FROM TORTURE AND DEATH BY A BEAR Girl and Ranger's Daring Escape from Indians on Bruin's Back. KER LEWIS MRS. JANE MAXIM - Uncle Kerr Lewis, who is one of the few survivors of the old Lone Star Rancher service, is one of the few Texans who served in Western Texas, after a long life devoted to the service of his country he is setting his house in order, and who was an Indian fightier and veteran warrior preparing to join his comrades on fames' eternal camp ground. He was an Indian fightier and Sam Filipo, the capital of the colony and there were no white settlements west of the Colorado plains. His captivity. The Comanche knew him well and determined the highest regard for his courage and his assistance and advice in negotiating a treaty for them with the Texans, and a trust that prevailed while the stipulations were settled he made his home with Petunia, the chief of the Comanches. He says that the ink on the paper was hardly before the Texans violated the treaty and cost him so much time and trouble. The Indians consumed Mr. Lewis for the perilous conduct of the white people and declared that if they ever caught him they would burn him alive. It was not long before they did succeed in making him a prisoner, and at the same time he was a slave girl, who was regarded as the belle of the colony. The young Indian fighter had long been one of Miss Horner's warmest and most devoted admirers, and he says that when he saw a big brute of a Comanche bringing her to the chief on a mustang he determined to set her free or lose his life in the attempt. Mr. Lewis knew this now celebrated cave, and, strangely enough, after wandering over the world for a half century, says the Chicago Tribune his footsteps on the sidewalk days in the little town which has been built since within a few miles of the which is not harder than his merciless heart. There are many other elegant private houses, all of bygone architecture. The finest are in the Calle de San Juan, where the artisans are in aocracy. All contain marvelous treasures in paintings and works of art, tapestries, artique furniture, etc., which their owners guard with jealous care. Art is held in great esteem in these forgotten islands, though learning does not flourish as it it does in the past. The artists is said to be really remarkable, and it is a great surprise to learn that the Palma Accademia de las Belles Artes ranks third in importance in the long list of similar establishments throughout the whole of Europe.

He told the story of this adventure, "he says, "with some hesitation, for I felt pretty sure that even those who knew me best were listening to me with at least a suspicion of doubt, recently a young woman came to visit me, and she asked the daughter of Jane Horner. Since many of my friends have met Max Maxim, who says that she has heard her mother tell the story a hundred times, and my description of the affair has been sufficiently corroborated to make it worthy of occupying a page of Texas history. Nana Maxim is a daughter of the girl whom the Commanches were carrying into captivity in company with Mr. Lewis. When the warriors reached the mouth of the river they placed their horses to the trees. Two of them the captives from their ponies and led them to the gloomy opening in the side of the mountain. One Indian stepped inside and doubtless feeling satisfied with the captives, he said, "having: "Much bueno, Much caliente." Drawing his knife and cutting the thongs that bound the legs of the captives he motions for them to go into the room, he turns the woman amused, when the girl drew back with a shudder of horror. Nothing please an Indian more than to make a prisoner do something which is repulsive to the unarmed, when the girl came back with her seized the young woman by the shoulder and pushed her into the cave, while his comrade stood about laughing as if they were witnessing one of the funest sights of the city. The girl, clessharly would soon be turned into death wails and agitated shrieks of terror. Mr. Lewis went into the cave, and drawing the trembling girl to a seat in the room, she whispered to her to be of good cheer. "Don't despair," he said. "I have got out of worse scraps than this." He was accustomed to the darkness of the cavern and they could easily distinguish objects some distance away from them. Mr. Lewis, who was closely watching every moment of the cavern, noted that one of them sat at the mouth of the cavern his back turned towards the captives, while the other three were busy making a fire only a few steps away for the purpureous strips of jerked venison that they carried lashed to their saddles. "My hearing at that period of my life says the venerable old man, "was acute, and I could barely breathe, though I heard something breathing in the cave. Telling Miss Jane to remain quiet I crawled along the floor of the cavern until I came to some soft snow, and gently moved my hand.

As quick as thought a plan of escape flashed through my head, and I went back to where the young girl was seated and explained it to her in a low whisper. She shuddered at the strange proposition that she had been forced to go farther back into the cave I quickly referenced her from the bonds that the red devils had placed on her arms, and then we again discussed the fornic hope that I had suggested.

The hatchery at Willowbrook is the only one in the state except the hatchery supported by the government at Duluth. The fish hatchery is located below the old Mountain Creek creek. Willowbrook, winding down through the hills from numerous springs, furnishes an abundance of clear, cold water, so necessary to a successful hatchery. Water is conducted by large wooden conduits from the springs through the hatcheries and ponds, into the buildings, where it passes through tanks after tank supplying the growing schools of little fish with cool water, until at too low a level to be of further make its way to the Mississippi river. Through the series of ponds extending from one end of the grounds to the other the many species of food fish at all the ponds are kept in the second and the most abundant of these are the brook trout, the only kind of fish that is kept on hand at all times of the year for breeding purpose. There are about 25,000 brook trout of fifteen years old, the largest being about inches long an weighing perhaps three pounds. Protect Little Fish. To prevent the destruction of the smaller by the larger ones the fish of different sizes are separated by screens and waterfalls. The varieties of trout are the steel-heads from Scotland, native ponds and the brown trout from Germany. Those cultivated the most are native brook trout, because they are more sure to live in the shallow brooks where the water is cooler and the summer months. The eggs are secured from these in October and the fish are ready to be shipped to the crecks by May. The other varieties of trout spawn in the warmed sump sent out until the following year. All the bass and croppie eggs are caught in the Mississippi River. Paul and his wife the fish are caught THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM A VILLA OF PALMA both by hook and line or with a net during the breeding season. The fish are lifted from the water long enough to strip them from their eggs, and they are then returned to the water for injury. The eggs are placed in flannel trays to keep them moist, and are taken back to the hatchery for incubation. **Pike Secured From Lakes.** The eggs are placed in lake lakes and at Tower, Minn., in the same manner that the bass eggs are obtained. This year the trip to Cass lake was almost a total failure, because the streams where the eggs are located are too long. The eggs having been secured in hatching houses equipped with troughs and hatching pans are ready for the hatching process, which lattes about twenty days. The first sign of life is shown by the appearance of the head and tail at opposite ends of the egg. The tiny fish, scarcely large enough to be seen, lives for six days on the food provided by the suck having disappeared gradually during the breeding season, which is about an inch long, must be fed. Granulated beef liver will be its exclusive diet for another month, when the millions of little fellows are ready to be fed. The wall-eyed pike and whitefish must be manipulated far more, carefully. A separate hatching house, equipped with 200 Chase-McDonald hatching jars, each jar holding 200,000 eggs, has been produced in the jars into the jars imparted a gentle and continuous rotary motion to the eggs. The same current carries away the sturdy eggs, and the others hatch the little fish are floated off into troughs where they are placed in the aquarium equipment. Freaks of Nature. Several varieties of carp and gold fish are kept in the ponds as curiosities to be admired by the many visitors to the grounds. A freak of nature, probably a sturdy carp, forms an "Albino" trout. The superintendent, after careful nursing for three years, has succeeded in raising about 100 fish. The superintendent continues to multiply as long as they are kept in the same pond. In one of the hatching houses a fish and game museum is kept, containing specimens of all the different birds and fish that are to be found in this state. The 86,000 apprehended this year for improvements will be used in constructing a dam in the ravine east of the grounds to form a bass pond, in order that the low water in the bay may have no effect on the bass crop of future years.

Shopkeepers Who Prefer Him to the Man Who Pays Cash. **Who Pays Cash.** Old Iron Franklin, who was once the highest authority of this side of the sea on domestic economy, was the author of the maxim: "A nirr'; sixpeaks is better than a slow shilling." Dr. Franklin meant to express the doctrine that in business cash customers who write in the form of American, and as he wrote in a time when the states were British colonies, and English money was then in vogue, he expressed his maxim in terms of shillings and times have changed since the days of "Poor Richard," which was the name over which Dr. Franklin's homely wisdom was given to the public, and apparently in the great retail stores in cities the cash buyers are not particularly interested. In an article on shopping in New York, in the Century Magazine, the writer says: "Shoppekeepers sometimes say that the 'cash customer' is the profitable one, but if you buy from these stores where cash payments are the main stores where cash payments me that if each THE HISTORY OF THE CITY OF MADRID one of his customers should insist on paying cash he would have to employ two extra men just to make the change. Certainly many of us could ill afford the time to wait for it. In the great retail world, we have to deal with twenty minutes until half as many cents in change can find a way back to them. There is, therefore, in large cities, where time has a value not attached to the cash, but to the services it, for having bills and accounts, and a certain quixotic sense characterizes the conduct of those who claim against the custom of accounts." This statement seems to be true every time a cash customer receives no favors or special consideration when shopping, and is always looked upon as a stranger who will probably never be seen again in the establishment, while the shopper whose name goes or is well known and is an object of interest. There is an old story to the effect that once a boat capsized in the river, throwing three persons into the water. A man in the boat, the captain, begged the people to rescue the man with the red head. With difficulty the red-headed man was faded out of the water, while the other two drowned. On disembarking the cause of his intense interest, the captain, begging the people, the information was elicited that the red-headed man sword the other $11, and if he drowned, leaving no estate behind, his death would make the debt a tomii and the information were allowed to drown, while the man whose name was on the books saved his own life by being in debt. Another disadvantage suffered by the cash customer is that he has less chance of getting his money back. A person who had bought in the same place for twenty years and always paid money down was, on one occasion when the purse had been accidentally left behind, the captain, by being denied the benefit of a C. O. D. package, because the amount was too small for the trouble. Nevertheless, the buying for cash has one advantage, the buyer it saves.

Daniel Emmett, the composer of the music of "Dixie," the song which the young Afro-Americans of Chicago's schools refused to sing on "Memorial Day," is dying, if not already, dead, at his hermit's home near Mount Vernon, Ohio. Mr. Emmett is eighty-six, and for years has lived retired in a suburban home, avoiding men and their ways and seeking companionship only in the wife of his old age and a few dogs. The circumstances which led to his writing "Dixie" are related by a resident of Mount Vernon. Emmett was playing in New York with the celebrated Bryant Minstrels. Mr. Bryant one day requested him to compose a new "walk round" of a heroic kind. "One," said he, "which the bands will want to play and which the boys will whistle in the streets." The next morning Emmett appeared with the music of "Dixie" as it is now played. There was little enough in the words—mere clatter, really—but the music took at once in the North and was seized by the South for its own when the Northern soldiers took it thither early in the war. The original words WILLOWBROOK FISH HATCHERY. have long since been changed to suit Southern sentiment, and the song is now the national hymn of the still rebellious ex-federates of the South, who claim they were overpowered in the war of the rebellion, but not subdued. Among the many things Afro-Americans are said to need to break down the asinine prejudice against them are education and money. They are doing better in getting the former than the latter, despite the many obstacles they must surmount. But when it comes to getting money the road is much more rocky. There are only a very few avenues of labor open to them except the menial ones and even among those there are some which are almost closed against them. It has not been many years since the killing of some Afro-Americans in Memphis by some white rivals in business, and a few days ago a similar case occurred in Pine Bluff, Ark., when Robert and Thomas Clegg, two prominent young white men, shot and killed Everett E. Fluker and his nephew, Solomon Fluker. The trouble arose over competition in business. Everett Fluker was a leader among his people and was one of Jefferson county's wealthiest Afro-Americans. He was grand master of Afro-American Odd Fellows of Arkansas and a member of the order's executive board of the United States. The estate is worth about $20,000. The Cleggs are in jail, but what will be done with them? This is the sort of encouragement we get, in the South, when we try to get a firm hold on the white man's God—money. There is at least one white woman in the South who doesn't wish to have the blood of an innocent man on her hands, even though the man is an Afro-American. Tom Watson forced his wife to join him in making an affidavit that Will Bussey, an Afro-American, had criminally assaulted her at Camden, Ark., and Bussey was by some unaccountable means allowed to escape a lynching and was imprisoned, tried and sentenced to hang the latter part of this month. The part Mrs. Watson had played in the matter preyed so heavily on her mind that about three weeks ago she made a written statement that she had sworn falsely against Bussey and on learning this Gov. Davis suspended Bussey's sentence. The confession of the woman so incensed the good citizens of Camden against Watson that a committee of them took him last Monday night and gave him five hundred lashes, put him on a train going South and instructed him not to stop in Arkansas. If some others who have sworn they were outraged would make confessions they would at least clear the names of the innocent men who have been lynched for crimes they did not commit. "Well, I never saw anything so beautifully done in all my life," said the sheriff after a recent execution. During the execution people were standing around, laughing and talking and eating luncheons which they had brought with them, as at a picnic, and in- ```markdown ``` THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER dulging in speculation as to the time it would take the man to die.

The papers are still praising the heroic act of Sheriff Joseph Merrill, of Carrollton, Ga., in saving a prisoner from a mob. Albeit that prisoner was an Afro-American, and a condemned murderer and although he had to kill one member and wound two others of the mob to do so. Even the Washington Post says: "If this man be not a hero, pray show us one who is." ```markdown ``` WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES.

Richard Dowles, aged sixty-five years, became suddenly ill Sunday evening at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue northwest, and was sent by the police to Freedman's Hospital in the ambulance. His recovery is expected. Dowles lives at Fairmont, Va., and has been in this city several days. The annual commencement of the High School of the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh divisions was held Tuesday evening at the Columbia Theatre, Mrs. B. C. Francis, of the Board of Education, presided, and the principal address was delivered by Prof. Kelly Miller. Commissioner Macfarland conferred the diplomas.

Amanda Sherman, fifty years old, fell through the skylight to the third floor at No. 309 Tenth street north-west, Monday night, and was severely injured. The woman was on the roof hanging out some clothing she had washed when the accident happened, and was badly bruised about the body, and recessively painful about the neck and face. The ambulance was summoned, and the injured woman was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where her several injuries were dressed. President McKinley had pardoned Isaac Warren Lewis, a thirteen-year-old Afro-American boy in the southern district of Mississippi, convicted of embezzling mail matter while a messenger, sentenced May 10, 1901, to pay a fine of $100 and costs, and to be imprisoned on the grounds of state prison. Execution of sentence suspended pending his application for pardon. The president pardoned him on the recommendation of the district attorney and judge. The attorney general, in his indorsement, said: "The child at the time he helped and should not have been prosecuted." Permission has been granted by the board of education for the establishment of a vacation school for Afro-American children. The school is to be held for six weeks in the Stevens school building, the term beginning Monday, June 24. The course is to combine industrial education with studies to strengthen delinquent pupils in subjects in which they are weak. The plan was promulgated by Mr. F. L. Cardoza, who outlined the proposed work in a communication to Mrs. Bettie F. Francis, chairman of the committee on industrial education of the board of education. In asking that this action be taken Mr. Cardoza referred to what he regarded as the peculiar needs of the Afro-Americans. Industrial education, he considered, was especially necessary, because of the poverty of their parents. The fol- INTERIOR OF THE HATCHERY. Little Faith Many women have little faith in advertisements.

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Summary of the Result's Obtained at the Sixth Atlanta Conference. The Sixth Atlanta Conference, held during Commencement week at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., investigated the Afro-American Common School of the South. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, one of the most advanced thinkers of the race, was corresponding secretary, and President Bumstead presided. Representatives from half of the Southern states and from Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York were present. The result of this meeting showed that there are 25,568 Afro-American teachers in the common schools. The number of Afro-American children of school age in the United States is 2,912,910, but a few less than the whole race at the breaking out of the war. Of this number 1,511,618 were enrolled in schools last year. This is just a fraction over one half. The average daily attendance was 969,011, which is only 33 per cent of the total number of inaugurations of the public school system there has been spent on the Afro-American public schools $101,860,661. Of this vast amount, the Afro-American has contributed by direct taxation more than $29,000,000, and by indirect taxation a sum ranging between $40,000,000 and $75,000,000. In Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana the Afro-Americans get less money of the common school fund than they into it by direct and indirect taxation. The condition of the Afro-American school teacher is best in Texas and worst in Louisiana. School facilities in the South are totally inadequate for the children of school age, and the most pressing problem is an increase in educational plants. The percentage of school attendance does not equal half the school population for either race. The Atlanta Conferences have investigated and published reports upon the existing subjects during the past six years: 1896-Causes of Afro-American Mortality. 1897-Social and Physical Condition of the Afro-American in Cities. 1898—Efforts of Afro-Americans for Social Betterment. 1899—The Afro-American in Business. 1900—The College-Bred Afro-American. 1901—The Afro-American Common School. Twenty-four graduates from the Normal department; six from the College. The attendance in these departments was the largest in the history of the institution. A Foolish Separation Ended. About the breaking out of the Civil war, nearly forty years ago, Isham Collins County, W. Va., quarreled. One was an abolitionist and one favored slave holding. They separated and finally were divorced. Afterward both of them moved to Minnesota, where they have since lived. Through the influence of a son and daughter the aged 18, 19, and 20, Mr. Collins is seventy-eight and united, his wife is seventy-five. This is not the first that was broken up by the slavery question, though 'tis perhaps the last one to be reunited since the emancipation of the slaves. THE BALEARIC ISLANDS.

The visitor to Palma should take a carriage to the castle of Bellar, first obtaining from the commandant an order for admission. The picturesque fortress stands on a wooded height four hundred feet tall, built by Don Jamie II., and consists of a two-storied circular tower and two interior galleries with vaulted roofs, strengthened by semi-circular bastions. There is a detached tower, a double mast. There is a detached tower, a smaller size, called La Torre del Homenage, nicating with the main building by two remarkable bridges, or arches, one above the other. In the lowest arch is a gloomy dungeon, under the level of the moat, to which the tower only by a small hole in the roof. It is a large olla (the jar), and heaven only knows what dies have been committed in it. The view from the top of this tower is something to remember. —Fannie B. Ward.

He called on THE APPEAL and told a glowing tale of this trip to the Pan-American Exposition, New York, Washington, Chicago, New Orleans, Memphis, Indianapolis, etc. He is very enthusiastic in regard to Oregon, and when asked for his opinion of the state and its people said: "Oregon is certainly the greatest of the group of states west of the Rocky Mountains; and, in the matter of natural resources in diverse form, in the grandeur of its scenery, the richness of its valleys and the fertility of its foothills and mountains, in forest products and precious metals, it has no equal in this great union of commonwealths. Its fruits, its vegetables, its cereals, its fish, and even its sawlogs excel wherever exhibited in competition with similar products of other states. Nature has endowed its waters and rivers with an extraordinary abundance of every material necessary to make it a wonderful region in substantial resources, and their development, so long delayed, but now being rapidly prosecuted, will serve to make Oregon the greatest state, all things considered, in the Union.

The Afro-American population of the state is increasing rapidly. Our people in the East and South have begun to discover that Oregon offers to them special inducements. It is a land in which faithful application brings its certain reward. There is small excuse for failure where all the elements of nature conspire to produce success. Toll, sensibly applied, is necessary, to be sure. I am not smoking of the laggard. We have no need to any any. We want men and women who are willing to work and who know how to perform it profitably. "Fortunately there are few drones in the Afro-American population of Oregon. Our people there are ambitious and active. They have many examples of what thrift, sobriety and care will produce in a country so generally favored, for among our people now resident in Oregon are many heavy taxpayers. Portland contains a number of wealthy Afro-Americans, who enjoy fine homes and abundant incomes from business enterprises. WILD WEST SHOW "Pawnee Bill" (Maj. Gordon W.

Why is it that people want the goo things about themselves printed in THE APPEAL and ask by request to please keep so and so out?

Call for Annual Meeting at Philadephia - Louisiana Test Case The fourth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., (probably in the City Council Chamber), Wednesday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, August 7, 8 and 9, 1839, at the church, college, benevolent society, and other race organizations, and editors of race newspapers, will be represented. It is the purpose of the officers to present 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 gatherings for the discussion of the race. It has been the most ways been the most favorable for the Negro. We now have an opportunity to refute the erroneous statements which have been made there, and to present the most positive ways which has been created by some of the enemies of the race who have selected the "Quaker City" as the forum from which to hurl their philippics against a loyal and inoffensive people. The race 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 Louisiana Test Case. We have just received notice from our chief counsel, D. C., informing us that the case is progressing satisfactorily. (A full report of this case will be made at the Philadelphia meeting). We have already paid $1,000 for counsel fees, and we have already paid $1,000 for counsel fees, and our 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 church, college, benevolent society, or other organization send 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 change the accepted statement that the Negro is not 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) All members of the Council shall be members of the Council delegates, representing duly accredited Local Councils. (3) Affiliated delegates, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes, of the Afro-American Council. Every local Afro-American 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 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 resources of the community shall be co-operate with the National Council, may be represented by affiliated delegates, not more than two delegates to each organization. Sald delegates shall have the right to vote upon the nomination of a candidate, delegate. Editors of Afro-American papers and principals of academic schools and colleges may be admitted to membership in the National Council upon nomination of a candidate, upon presentation of 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 has been earned in the form of 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 free field trip.

Dr. Harvey R. Gaylord, in the American Journal of Medical Sciences, publishes his official report on his experiments of the last three years, made with a view to finding the germ of cancer. The increase in the number of cancer cases and the fact that it ranks next to consumption as a cause of cancer in the country, make his report of the greatest interest in a technical manner, which makes it largely incomprehensible to the laity, but enough can be gleaned from it to give hope that the doctor really has found the pestiferous little "protocoon" which causes cancer. Many learned scientists have searched for the little rascal before, but without success. Dr. Gaylord believes that he has caught the cases of well developed cancer the doctor covered small transparent bodies which, in the scope, were observed to change their form, increase in size and pass through what appeared to be a spore-forming stage. By inoculating animals with these protozoans the doctor was able to produce a cancerous state in them. One guinea pig so inoculated because afflicted with "a condition of the lungs and the liver which we wish to introduce in primary carcinoma of those organisms in other words, the beginning of genuine cancer. The report, which occupies thirty-six pages and tells of his experiments in detail, seems to justify the belief that at last the germ of cancer really has been found and "isolated," so that the disease can be transferred by inoculation. If that is so, an important step has been made, but the most important one is yet to come, the germ of cancer has been found and germ and cure or prevent cancer. Dr. Gaylord emphatically disclaims any responsibility for the reports regarding his experiments which have been published before this official one. AT THE VOLCANO'S CRATER. A party of Americans touring in Mexico recently accomplished the unusual feat of ascending to the edge of the crater of Mount Popocatepatl, the famous volcano of the North American continent. A member of the party in describing the trip says the crater is a marvel and well worth a hard journey to see. "A huge and gloomy pit it is," he says, "its steep sides emitting sulphur smoke and fumes, and its perimeter walls descending, it is said, to a depth of feet. At the bottom is a small lake of great green surrounded by volcanic rocks, covered of sulphur. At the top there is a ledge of rock at the crater's edge, from which we made our observations of the crater and upon which we were photographed. I did not observe any difficulty in breathing or any noticeable increase of heart action, but several members of the party were panting painfully and were hardly able to. On me my comrades told me that he could feel his heart beat through his chest and awake that temperature was very cold, but it seemed to be modified somewhat by the natural warmth of the crater and we were protected against the icy wind outside." Story from the Klondike Strangely enough, the London Weekly Dispatch does not appear to credit the story which appears in a temporary, the Express, regarding the devastation wrought in the Klondike by a mastodon. The story as it was printed in the Express was dated New York, and it said: "From Dawson City there comes a letter which describes the killing of a big mastodon at the park after he had demolished a hotel and seized a dog tossed dogs and horses in the air and ran for their lives. He was at last killed by an electric wire which he tried to pull down. His skin alone weighed 1,100 pounds. The skeleton, which is 15 feet high, is now on exhibition. One tusk weighed 217 pounds. The town in which he was killed had been visited by an earthquake." The press, for the instruction of its readers, picture for the thrilling picture of a hairy mastodon on a rampage, and it was unkind enough to head the clipping from the Express "A Very, Very Tall Story"—New York Press. How Qualls Are Fattened A curious account of how quails are fattened for the market is given in a London paper. It appears that quails, being regular in their habits, always wake up in the morning. They are always in a large cellar, lit only, by electric light. In the dark they go to sleep, but directly the light is turned on they wake up and breakfast. This process is repeated time after time and the birds, always laboring under the warmening has arrived, once more breakfast is given over again. They have been known to do six times in an afternoon. Liberia's longest telephone line has just been built between Monrovia, the capital of the country, and White Plains, a settlement twenty-five miles up the St. Paul's river. It was constructed by a civil engineer from the United States. Thus the black republic, which was founded under American auspices many years ago, has taken another stride forward toward that goal which Americans of antislavery days fondly hoped would be reached to the helping of the negroes, and as well, the relief of the United States. Charity is a kind of anesthesia, when once kindled in a stove of fire cannot be extinguished. No wind can blow out its fames, no water can bail out its fires, no storm can put on its fire—literally.
