VOL.17.NO.28. NOSTRADAMUS FROM WOODCUT PUBLISHED IN HOLLAND IN 1666 Matthew Hopkins Seck e & bignir Vincent MATTHEW HOPKINS EXHIBITOR AND CONFESSING THE IMPS AND PARAMILLIARS. THE WORLD MOST WORLD As the world grows old and civilization spreads and increases human "nature seems to remain just about what it was originally, and the preachers of new documents have been called To-day it is "Elijah" Dowie and Mrs. Kidd; yesterday it was William Miller and Jo Smith, and before that Simon Magus and the Velled Prophet of Khorasan. Christian Scientists declare that the history of popular delusions, to say, "There must be something in it; look at it, follow it, follow Dowie chains a following of 200,000 dollars, at least 200,000 Mormons in the United States. But these numbers prove nothing. As great and greater have been the numbers who followed the preachers of Dowie gave delusions which are looked back upon with a wonder at the credibility of mankind. It is, indeed, remarkable that a man like Dowle, who ten years ago went to Chicago with a wife, two children and no money, should now be at the head of a sect having its thousands of members, be reputed to be worth $5,000,000, own several hospitals, a college, a bank and a museum, a great city for the dwelling place of his biggest thing of its kind since Jo Smith built Salt Lake City. It is also wonderful that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy in a few years should have captured a million minds with her doctrine and become the priestess and prophetess of a new religion. But when you ask how many people have accomplished jar results, the wonder ceases. From the earliest dawn of authentic history there was Needle and Eddys in the world. Needle and Eddys in the world which have sprung up, fourtowers for a time and then passed away, have been in the form of religious crazes; one has himself as the prophet of a new dispensation and the people have flocked to him. But there have been other strange manifestations of sudden popular craze which have been entirely free from the religious aspect. Such was the "Tulipomania," a period of turbulent tulip bulbs, the reign of the alchemists, who sought to change the baser metals into gold and the belief of millions in the existence of the founds of perpetual wealth. The warriors of Fonce de Leon to Florida and resulted in the discovery of the Mississippi river. Simon Magus an Early Dowle. On the occasion of his death was Simon Magus. Simon appeared in Samaria early in the Christian era, in fact, in apostolic times. He declared he was the first manifestation of the "primal nature" of humanity, the attributes of the Almighty. He preached a doctrice strongly Oriental, and founded THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. SATURDAY JULY 13, 1901. an heretical sect. Finally he was converted to Christianity by Philip. The stories of Simon Magus and of his beautiful companion, Helen of Teyr, which have come down to us are strange and bizarre, but it is certain that in his day he had a large following, and for a time it looked as if his gospel would spread in excess of the gospel of Christ. In the Acts we read: "There was a cemetery where the people were buried, but time in this same city (Samarria) used scricery and bewitched the people of Samarria, giving out that himself was some great one, to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying: 'And to him they had received because the long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ they were baptized, both man and women. And Philip himself believed also, and when Philip was baptized, both man and Philip and wounded, beholding the persecuses and sights which were done." and when Simon saw the three through lying and when Simon saw the three through lying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Gospel was given, he offered them money saying: "Give me also this power that you give me my hands he may receive the Holy Gospel to him. They money perish with three because thanat thought that the gifts of God can be purchased with money, that neither part nor lot in this matter, nor heart is not right in the sight of God." Such was Simon Magus, in whom all Samaria believed and who appears also to have a considerable following in other *maria* believed. So strong an impression did he make on the young man, on various legends, notably that of Dr. Paucas, we see traces of the story of Simon and Helen of Tyre. The story of Simon was another predecessor of Dowie and Mrs. Edda as a "divine healer." He studied in the Greek school of Tarsus and adopted the Pythagorean philosophy. Then he learned underdemand, and trained to the old seats of the Academy. He thus prepared himself thus prepared himself he announced himself a deity and himself to work pseudo Defective Page miracles. He founded a sect which flourished and endured so that two centuries after his death divine honors were paid to him by the believers in his religion, and he was called "mararium" along with those of Abraham, Orphus and Christ. *Craze of the Crusaders.* A strange delusion of the Middle Ages manifested in the "Children's Crusade." Early in 1233, a sudden religious frenzy seized upon the children of France and Germany, and they gathered into bands with the intention of proceeding to Jerusalem and rescuing the Holy Sepulchre from the Turks. The army, famed by designing men who desired to get them on board ship and then sell them as slaves in the ports of the Barbary coast. Thirty thousand boys and girls bearing banners and crosses and the army of Genoa to embark upon their voyage to the Holy Land. It was expected that before this youthful army the hosts of Islam would miraculously be destroyed. The ships on which the children embarked, with the exception of two or three, were wrecked on the coast of Italy. The ships on which the children escaped were taken to the African coast where the children in them were sold into slavery. The young crusaders who went to Genoa found no ships awaiting them there, for the merchants who were privy to the affair had expected them all at sea. The children in Genoa have recovered speedily from their delusion when they found the thousands of children in their streets, and finally persuaded them to return to their homes. Fuller, in his quaint history of the "Holy Warre," says that this crusade was done by the institution of the devil, who was being doled with the murdering of men, desired a cordial of children's blood to comfort his weak stomach. While the delusion of the children's erasade lasted there were probably more people who believed in it than now being so widespread, the contemporaneous prophets combined. All over Europe children ran about in bands, shouting, "O Lord Jesus! Restore they who were unaware that the experiment has been stirred up by a couple of 'Back-silden' monks and some merchants of Marseilles for kidnapping purposes, was taken by the French army to the drenn of France and Germany had taken to the cross and were on the march to Jerusalem, and exclaimed: "These children are awake while we sleep." He took this outbreak of religious enthusiasm among the children as a reproach to his likewarmness on the subject of cruades. Tulipmannin. One of the most remarkable things in the history of the human mind was the "stark staring mad" of Holland in the seventeenth century. It is not only remarkable that a whole nation should have gone "stark staring mad" over a flower, but that that nation should have been Holland, whose people had been Holland, whose practical common sense stolidity. A wave of the tulip craz made itself felt in England, and even crossed the ocean and broke on the shores of Manhattan island, so that the burghers of New Amsterdam took the platter" of the craze as they took the platter in the Bloody Green or the Battery. One Conrad Gesner, in the year 1560, saw a tulip growing in the gardens of a learned man who was noted for his collection of rare exotics. The bulb of this tulip was a very large flower, a mple, where the flower had long been a favorite in turkish gardens. Gesner began to talk tulip to the people of Holland, and became such a crank on the subject of the flower, which he pronounced to be a tulip. People in Holland and Germany began to think it was the proper thing to be learned in tulip lore, and the infection spread. Dutch tulips covered the seas and the islands, and people in merchants of Holland had tulips brought back to them from Constantinople in the ships which traded to that far-off port. In 1900 some bulbs were brought from Constantinople to England and planted, and the crase fairly began. The bulbs were then considered a sign of bad taste for any wealthy man in Holland not to have a collection of these flowers. Dealt in Like Stocks. All Dealt were crazy over the tulip until for some reason it was a single bulb, and regular exchanges were established where the roots of the tulip were bought and sold as stocks are now sold on Wall street. People speculated wildly about the future of tulips, booms, panics and all the rest of it. There were no "tickler" in those days. But the quotations of the prices of the various varieties of tulips were read and compared by people. In 1884 the rage among the Dutch to possess tulips was so great that the ordinary industries of the country were neglected, and the population, even to its lowest dues, embarked in the army to mount a militant increased the prices rose until in 1860 persons paid as high as $40,000 for forty robes. Taking ladd consideration the buying power of money then as compared to the buying power of money as $80,000 as the price paid. A tull of the species called Admiral Liechten was worth nearly $2,000, and a bulb of a Super Augustus, the most valuable of the species, about $80,000 as the price paid. In the money of present day to $4,400. At one time there was only two bulbs of a certain kind in Holland, and so anxious people were to possess them for speculation, one person offered twelve acres of built-up populated section for one of the roots. The other bulb was bought in exchange for 4,006 florins, a new carriage, two gray horses and a complete set of hair accessories. The Viceroy was called the Viceroy was sold for "two lots of wheat, four lots of rye, four fat exen, eight fat swine, two fat sheep two hogsheads of wine, four tuns of beef and two tuns of cheese a complete bed, a nut of clothes and a silver drinking cup." The stock jobbers speculated wildly in tulip stock and made fortunes by buying and selling when it was high. The bulb and selling bears fought it out, then over tulips in to do now over railroad security individuals grew suddenly rich and everybody had tulips, farmers, mechanics sailors, servants, chimney sweeps and even "clothes men" dabbed in tulips for the money they had connected to govern it. The prices of the necessities and luxuries of life rose rapidly. Collapse of the Crase. Suddenly the people came to their senses and each other where this was all going to happen upon the people and everybody rushed to sell. Then all this fictitious wealth in tulips vanished away. People who shortly had thought themselves to be found themselves possessed of a few old books, body would buy, and of nothing else. The rises of distress came from all sides. Substantial merchants were reduced to oggy and the representatives of anarchy and the fortunes of the line vanish away. It was a terrible awakening for Holland. **Astrological Idol.** In the sixteenth century so many people (not the ignorant and lowly only, but the wise and high-placed) believed in astrology that the followers of Mrs. Eddy and Dewie appear as a handful in com- $2.40 PER YEAR.

Physician to Horse II, if France, he published his works on the occult sciences and was made rich with knowledge of the mystic sciences, for he is a token of their devotion for his knowledge of the mystic science of the dars. Nostradamus "Centuries," a collection of verses written in language as sacred and unintelligible to the ordinary man, was the first called popular attention to him. Great nobles and learned men from all large of the earth made pilgrimages to the astrologer's house in Paris, and the king made him a counselor of state. Witchcraft Defusion. The belief in witchcraft, of which the Schie outbreak was only one of many manifestations of the darkness of Europe for two centuries and a half and was a delusion so widespread that it was dangerous to deny a belief in it. An epidemic of terror every now and then would seize upon a nation, and no person from the monasteries or his person from the monasteries would be 66th. The word "witchcraft" was upon everybody's tongue. England, Scotland and the Far Northern nations successively ran mad on this subject and for many years tried to tribunal with so many trials that craft that other crimes seldom were spoken of. The history of witchcraft in this country is well known. The mania which upon the devout people of Massachusetts was spread in history, and in reading about it seems as if the entire people of New England went mad at the time. One of the favorite prescriptions for determining whether someone should throw her into a pond. If she sank she was all right, though, unfortunately drowned, but if she floated it was proof that she was a witch. The mania was afflicting England, one Matthew's reputation as the most expert witch finder in the kingdom. He used to travel about the state with several assistants, and upon arriving in town he was accused of witchcraft by the authorities, who also paid him for ferring out the witches in the community. Not a few thousand, not a million, but whole nations accepted abodes of witchcraft, and the vices of the delusion fell by the thousand. Ancient Christian Selenites. There is some resemblance between the "imaginations" of the sixteenth century and the Christian Selenites of today, for they professed to be able to cure all diseases and really did benefit some people suffering from slight or imaginary afflictions by convincing the realities that the disease was gone.

Chicago has become noted as the birth-place of many freak movements—religious, secular and political—but this week there comes to light a movement, inaugurated and encouraged by a number of so-called intelligent. Christian men and women, which is beyond all question, the most nonsensical, absurd and foolish combination yet formed in this great, cosmopolitan city. An organization has been formed in this city by a few irresponsible fanatics called the "White Boxers." The avowed object and purpose of this new order is to preserve and maintain white supremacy in the United States and to inculcate the doctrine of hostility and antagonism to all Afro-Americans. The unchristian and uncivilized movement is the direct result of a weak and disordered brain and only appeals to the vicious and deprived of the white race. The Afro-American finds the commercial, mechanical and political world practically closed against him and yet he bears it all in patience and silence. His appeals for encouragement and recognition fall upon deaf ears. --- EARLY IN THE SEASON. Miss Summergirl—They found a man-eating shark dead on the beach today. I overheard her saying, "I got a man-eating shark." Miss Fellstar—I guess, if it were a man-eating shark WHICH? "Does the name on an umbrella indicate that it belongs to you?" "Do you mean the name of the umbrella?" Brought from his native home contrary to his wish and forced to labor for hundreds of years without any compensation, and enduring all this time the most cruel and brutal bondage yet known to mankind. The labor of himself and his forefathers has made this country bloom and blossom as theroer. In times of peace he has proven himself to be an earnest, faithful and energetic worker. In times of war and public danger he has ever remained loyal and true to his adopted country—shouldering his musket and cheerfully going to battle for the protection and preservation of the Union. And at the very dawn of the twentieth century he finds himself confronted by a gang of fanatics and cutthroats, who would if they could, reintroduce throughout the country the methods of the old "Ku Klux Klan" of the South. The "White Boxers" will find but little encouragement among thinking and intelligent white people. The low, depraved and ignorant white man has always been the avowed enemy of the Afro-American and it is this class North and South with whom he always has trouble. The Appeal would most earnestly ask all Afro-Americans to pay no attention to the "White Boxers" of Chicago and the movement will die of its own viciousness and depravity. It costs this country considerable each year to celebrate its natal day. The last according to compiled reports cost 25 lives, 1,813 injured, $123,185 fire losses and how many millions of dollars for fireworks and other expenses the Lord only knows.

Church Philadelphia, Tuesday Aug 16, 1901. The twenty-second annual meeting of the National Afro-American Press Association will be held in Bethel A. M. Philadelphia, Pa., Tuesday, Aug. 6, 1901. All editors or publishers of bona fide newspapers and periodicals published in the interest of the Afro-American race are entitled to membership in the Association.

A special rate of a fare and a third on the certification has been granted on all railroads to the Press Association and Afro-American Council, and editors may take advantage of that and attend both meetings. It is hoped that the session will be largely attended.

A Woman's Life Work.—This is a story of a wonderful life. The author was an active Anti-Blovery agitator and through her underground railroad work assisted hundreds of slaves to escape from bondage. In the same respect two years later, in the care of the sick and wounded. Through her efforts more than 3,000 Union soldiers were liberated. She accomplished a great work in providing for the Freedom of Kansas after the close of the war. She was born in the state of the States, at Coldwater, Mich. CHANGING HIS TUNE.

The Prince of Wales having heard that it was the outgrowth of a woman's plan and work, wrote to this country to find out if such were really the fact. Industrial School for Girls at Adrian, Mich., almost utterly owes its first existence, and especially its name, to her efforts. Haviland Academy, at Haviland, Kansas, was named in her honor, as also the town in which it is located. Her whole life has been one of cheerful self-denial for the good of others. At the World's Fair she was introduced by President Palmer as "The Mother of Philanthropy," and well she deserves the title. Her experience as she did in this book will be read with thrilling interest. It is a plain simple narrative of her very busy, useful life, but of a moving fascinating interest than fiction.

Here is one of his prescriptions: If the person suffers from a disease, either local or general, let the following remedy be applied: a magnet, impregnated with mummy, and a magnet, impregnated with this earth sow some seeds which have a congruity or homogeneity with the disease; then let this earth, well fitted and mixed with mummy laid in an earthen vessel; and with mummy with a lion in it watered daily with a lion in which the limb or body has been washed. Thus will the disease be transplanted from the human body to the seeds which are in the earth. Having done this, transplant the seeds from the earthen vessel to the earth, and transplant the seeds as he increases the disease will diminish; and when they have arrived at their full growth it will disappear. But perhaps the Roserucians were the nearest to the modern "scientists," who cured without medicine and announced that their mission was to "draw all mankind from error and from death." They preached the subject of matter to the people. A curious popular delusion, the remnants of which one sees to-day in the congregations of "Second Adventista," swept over the United States in the first half of the decade. Miller began to preach his peculiar doctrine and warn the people that the second coming of Christ and the end of the world were at hand. Many thousands beheld the coming of Christ and their ascension robes, and all the time new leaders are rising and strange sects forming, to last a while and then disappear. It would seem as if at no time is the whole earth entirely sane. First it was the earth and then in another the outbreak occurs. What They Say About London. "Hell a place very like London."—Shelley.

RINGLING BRO'S BIG CIRCUS When Ringling Brothers' big circ exhibits in St. Paul, Tuesday July 23, its thousands of admirers will witness what is declared to be the most remarkable trained elephant act ever offered the American people. In this event, the admirers perform at one time, in one ring, the performance of one man." What this means can be realized when it is stated that the largest number of elephants hitherto performed together was ten, and this was only accomplished by the great Lockhart, whose troupe of elephants Brothers, and used in their big display. The performance given by this great company of elephants is so novel, so original, and so varied, that it would be a more simple task to describe what they do not do than to enumerate the marvelous things they can do, and that must be understood that these animals are merely trained elephants. They are THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER veritable animal actors, exhibiting the same degree of intelligence and the same artistic sense of the propriety of things as the most careful and conformist. They form pyramids, stand their feet on walk on two legs, dance, engage in pugilistic encounters, and actually play up ponderous brass horns and other musical instruments, and, what is more, complete plays and comedies with a standing and sense of humor such as no other animal in the whole realm of biology could possibly equal. This great act does not exhaust the trained performer, the show, but there are thirty of these animals and curious animals, including the famous Lockhart elephants. The arentic features of Ringling Brothers' circus are especially strong this seascape, the public have vied in declaring that this exhibition surpasses anything in the exhibition line ever seen in America.

The fourth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., (probably in the City Council Chamber), Wednesday, August 8 and 9, 1901. It is hoped that every church, college, benevolent society, and other race organizations, and editors of race newspapers, will be represented. It is the purpose of the officers in the city been 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, including the question and the outcome has no 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 affirm the commitment 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 and a color and previous condition of servitude. free in large pavilion all day.

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, Lawyer, Mr. 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 the thousand dollars more will be the final decision has been rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States. If there ever was a time when Negro church, college, benevolent society, and organizational should send representatives to 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 increase the repeated statement that the Negro is 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, representing duly accredited Local Councils. (3) Affiliated delegates, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes, representing the Afro-American Council. Every local Council shall be entitled to representation in the National Council by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate to every fifty members, said delegate to represent the organization of credentials and payment of the tax of five dollars. Religious and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral resources have the right to vote upon payment of the tax. Editors of Afro-American newspapers and principals of academic schools and colleges may be admitted to membership in the National Council 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 payment for the certificate plan has been granted on behalf 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 for the Pan-American Exposition" getting the advantage of the half-fare.

Owing to the family squabble going on between Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Morrison, Louis Jones concludes that Mrs. Morrison, the shipper, was more entitled to the resolutions than anyone else. Last Monday in the Criminal Court presided over by Judge Hanecy, a police officer had secured the indictment of an Afro-American for sodomy—a little white boy seven years old being the victim. The officer told he caught the prisoner and evidently by perjury made out a strong case against him. The boy and his mother were examined but their evidence was very filmy. But whom that American took the witness stand—he told such a straightforward story that at once convinced Judge Hanecy of his innocence, who ordered his immediate discharge. In the South, this man, though innocent, would have been at once lynched. With a family to buy Shoes for should trade here. Every advantage is offered as regards style and low price.

About thirty-five delegates and their friends went last Sunday evening to Buffalo, to attend the biennial convention of the Woman's National League. They were on the Wabash railroad. They were quite a merry crowd of women (no men went along) and all arrived in Buffalo safely. In the car was the Peoria delegation of ladies, and also a woman from the University who is being backed by the West for the presidency of the League. Among the prominent ladies who left for Buffalo were Mrs. Agnes Moody, W. W. G. Anderson, Mrs. Fanny Hall Clinton, Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, Mrs. Mattie Robinson, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. L. A. Davis and others. MRS YATES SPEAKS. The spacious auditorium of Quinn Chapel was filled last Sunday afternoon with a large and appreciative audience of both races, who came out to hear the speakers, including the late Johnine Silva, Yates of Kearns City, Mo. treasurer of the "National Association of Colored Women." Her subject was "Woman, a factor in the solution of the race problem." The address was intensely interesting and the audience was very diverse, from beginning to end. Mrs. Yates handled her subject in a scholarly and original way—advancing many new ideas by way of solving the vexed and much discussed problem. A porter, with a address, which "great generous apprehension," offered a social position of the Afro-American woman. "When colored men proper respect," said Mrs. Yates, "when colored women conduct themselves in a worthy of that respect, there will be little to fear from within or without." Miss Blanche Shaw, Mrs. L. A. Davis, the Illinois organizer of the national association, and Mrs. Agnes Moody of women's Clubs made short addresses. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Men's Sunday-Club, of which Mr. Adelbert H. Roberts is presiding, and the credit for the successful meeting was Mr. Yates is due largely to his splendid foresight and management.

One does not hear nowadays when a steamer has an experience like that of the Teutonic on her last voyage over quite so much talk about "tidal waves" as always resulted from such episodes a few years ago, but even now there seems to be a very general misapprehension as to what happens in the damage of a still more general misapprehension, and it happens. In reality it is hardly more exact to speak of "giant waves" than of "tidal waves," for, though the waves in any given series differ appreciably in size, the difference is rarely if ever enough even to begin to account for the damage that one particular wave among the many harmless ones often does. Officers on the Teutonic, despite the sharp watch alone that they are dgeregardless keeping, saw no hated segregation of water approaching them, and the reason they did not was that there was none to see, says the New York Times. What they did notice was a lively sea, with the usual variations in the distance between its elevations and depressions. Then the vessel's stem changed to strike one of the larger waves just at the instant when the stern chanced to be raised by the larger wave, and as a natural consequence, saw no cage aboard. But it didn't rush "aft," as most of the accounts say. The water comprising of the accounts has the horizontal motion, though the form of the wave has, and what "rushing aft" there was, beyond the not very fierce inclination of the deftly moved due to the rushing downward of the water, with what "rushing aft" there was, beyond the not very fierce inclination of the deftly moved due to the rushing downward of the water, with a large mass of water, though a dropped straight downward on her forward section, reaches the stern, or some intermediate obstruction, in a very minute period. The motion is in most part only apparent, but the effects are the same as though the water moved instead of the ship, and the consequences to passengers and deck structures often serious, are not in the slightest of the most astonishing. "Giant waves," like "tidal waves" encountered by vessels driven rapidly into a head sea, and whenever such driving is done the experienced passenger will carry himself cautiously, though the deck may have been dry for hours and the sea no higher than before. Such passengers know, as do all the sailors on board, that if ship and sea happen to assume certain relative positions a wave that otherwise will do what none of its peers can reach the deck and cause it to be swept by some tons of water moving, to all intents and purposes, at a speed not much less than that of an express train. WHERE BEGGARS CAN RIDE. Horses Cheap Enough in New Zealand to Give All a Mount. Horses are so cheap in Auckland that pedestrianism bids fair to become extinct. The postman does his round on horseback. The butcher, a huge basket slung over his arm, campers up with ordered provender. Schoolbubs, two frequently sharing a mount, ride to school, where a paddock is reserved for their ponies. Even the lamplighter performs his duties perched on an ambling nag, while the droves of stock, passing along the roads are alive under the care of a mounted escort. Under the care of a mounted an errand that would still walk a quarter of a mile he invariably ten minutes in catching a horse that he may ride. But more ludicrous than all else was it to see a sweep, his attention to the kitchen chimney, completed, canter off on his nag, with the bag of soot perched on the saddle before him. As an instance of the topsy-turvy state of things antipodean it may be mentioned that it is considered smarter to drive in a hired carriage than in your own trap. Wisconsin's Obligation to the Poor In the absence of a statute creating an obligation, the supreme court of Wisconsin, in the case of Patrick vs. Town of Baldwin (85 N. W. Rep. 274), holds that none rests on a municipal corporation to maintain or relieve poor persons who have no power upon the ground of poorifications or the equities of any given case to hold such a corporation liable to a private person who may have relieved or supported a poor person. And where the law imposes on a municipality the duty of maintaining poor persons and designates officers therefor to act in its behalf in the performance of such duty, their mere negligence will not operate as an implied obligation to supply a needy person's party to such party can act and hold the municipality liable as upon an implied contract MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE OF MINNESOTA JON N.
