FRAU PIETSCH VOL.17.NO.30. FRAU PI JENNA, Jun 12—One of the most fashionable启幕 in VI. Jenna has been closed by the police, and the closing of it has made as much sensation in city as the raids of Judge R. orr apparently have in New York. It was no gambling place which the police of the Austrian capital shut up, but an up-to-date dueling parlor, first in class in all appointments and run for the conversation city and empire. There were really several parlor, in the establishment, and in any one of them a man could "pink" shoot a gentleman with whom he had been the most elegant manner and surrounded in goons furnished if desired and surgical instruments always on hand. These dueling parlor were kept by a woman of herole mold, one Frau Pleitch, who danced with her hands wavy witnessed the gentle and joyous passages at arms. In court she admitted that she had been a witness to two hundred duels in her rooms. She is well versed as any one in Vienna in the ethics of dueling, and expert opinion was then sought by the young bloods of the city when questions regarding the ethics of dueling were under discussion. She was a master of the art, and she was far far far as is known, never fought a real war. When she saw a really superior foster, however, she would ask him, after he had concluded his more serious business, to do her the honor of crossing swords with her in a friendly way. For a number known in certain circles of the capital, and when a man bowed to another man with an especial show of deference and begged the favor of a meeting with him at the house of their mutual friend, Frau Pietch, every one who was really in the house would be given good frau's house stood in a secured court, and the fashionable hour for visiting it was 6 o'clock in the morning. When in the early morning hours two carriages would drive up to the frau's house, the doctor would disengage at the time, and the little affair after the party had come was arranged with neatness and dispatch. After "honor had been satisfied" the survivors were served with refreshments, paid for their entertainment of making a living for Frau Pietch, for she "just adored" the duel. What to her were the tame amusements of the theater or the opera when she could see a duel in her own house nearly complete, and fought by noblemen or gorgous army officers. The frau was getting rich and HANGES in the court will naturally follow the opening of the new reign. These may not be immediate, as in 1838, when the young queen took the place of her uncle, and found the court C tionaries and indolent courtiers; but unless all signs fail the king, when the period of mourning end, will prefer to live in different and more brilliant state than the lamented sovereign. In 1857 the king was forced to simplify; there may now be a reversion to the pomp and glory of monarchy. The young queen passed over the reigns of the Georges and reverted to Queen Anne, and there was a sudden found them, reduced the scale of expenditure. She ascertained that Queen Anne had a privy purse, a groom of the state, a first lady, and ten other ladies of the bedchamber. She considered such ladies to be the most important and was content with a mistress of the robes and six ladies in waiting. Having selected, her court companions she was unwilling to change them for political reasons. She considered that the undue influence of two great court ladies in Queen Anne's time, insisted upon a few changes, the sovereign offered stout resistance. She con- cluded that the queen had begun with dismissing ladies in waiting he would end by discharging her dresses and housemats. This was the bedchamber affair—the queen's only conflict with her constitutional advisers—and she per- formed all the duties she involved the retirement of Sir Robert Peel and the return to office of a prime minister who had been defeated in the Commons. As time went on the queen was more and more involved in staff of functionaries, but it was always a simple, albeit stately, court. During the long period of woodwife Buck- --- enjoying life hugely at the same time, when her husband, who was a quiet man of a most peaceable disposition, who fainted at the sight of blood, broke away from his wife's domination and sued her for a divorce, thus exposing the nature of the business. Her Frut Pletsch declared that life was better fighting in the parlor every night. He was a peaceable man and wanted a peaceable life. He told his wife she must give up her duelling business or give up him, and she decided that she would do the latter with the greatest pleasure in life. So she left the house, a divorce on the sole ground of her obnoxious business, and won his case. Then Frut Pletsch was arrested and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. When she was sentenced, she broke into a parlor where a duel with swords had just taken place. One of the duellists had received a wound which was being swiped up by the surgeon, while Frut Pletsch stood by, enjoying the operation. She had not been in some time of the nature of Frut Pletsch's business, but had not disturbed her, although she had been warned to be careful. She found it such a profitable business, however, and her clients were of great interest. She dreamed that the authorities would dare ingham palace was only used for a row court functions every year, while she was a member of the court splendor, and at Balmoral and Osborne with extreme simplicity. The king may The duches of Cornwall and Lancaster are practically private estates of the crown, under public management, and £60,000 from one and £40,000 from the other were paid last year to the queen and £10,000 from the other to the civil list and annuities. The revenue are hereditary. Henry IV, conscious that he was more rightly duke of Lancaster than king, reserved his military privileges in the duchy, in addition to the civil list and annuities, and the source to fall back upon. With the consent of parliament he severed these ducal possessions from the crown and settled them on himself and his heirs. During this reign the duchy revenues were divided between reappropriated by Edward IV, were again severed by Henry VII. The duchy, with a chancery court of its own, provides a sinecure for a member of the cabinet not fond of official work; but the use of the sovereign is appropriated for the management have steadily increased during the reign. The duchy of Cornwall, like manner, is a source of revenue for the hire to the throne, and this gained in the course of the reign these duchy payments do not pay through the treasury, but supply extra income to the sovereign and the heir to the throne, the crown lands and minory hereditary revenues provide £475,288 for these duchy payments, which there are charges of £88,500 for curate, salaries of officials and expenses of the royal household and £188,000 for annuities to members of the royal family. The cost of monarchy of the state is compounded by the cost for the New York Tribute, owing to the existence of these resources of crown revenue. As these resources have larger THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY. JULY 27, 1901. FRAU PIETSCH MADE A BUSINESS OF RENTING HER PARLORS IN VIENNA FOR AFFAIRS OF HONOR, AND WITNESSED MORE THAN 200 COMBATS to arrest her. But her husband was a small official under the government, and when he gave such publicity to his wife's dueling parliaments through his suit for divorce the police were obliged to act. In no city in the world could an establishment like that run by Frau Pletsch be considered a lawful officer of the Austrian capital is the very home of the "code," and "everybody who is anybody" has had his affairs of honor. All men of fashion and all army officers night duels and seek to make reputations for themselves as duelists. As a result of the war, the harshness sort, either. It is a more serious matter to send or accept a challenge in Vienna than it is in Paris, and, while the fatalities are not great compared with the casualties of every encounter results in one or both of the duelists being badly wounded. Rapers are the favorite weapons, though cavalry swords are not unpopular, and sometimes pistols are chosen. The latter weapon is the most dangerous, and these regard it as too proxie and commonplace a weapon. Rapers and sabers are regarded as more aristocratic implements to use when one gentleman wants to duel. Frau Pletsch was brought out incidentally that the only place that vied ry increase in income earning value, the new king will have a valid ground for adding for a larger civil list in arranging the investment the conditions of a fresh life tenure and the investment the largement will be justified also by a great increase in the scale of living since 1857. It it costs a rich banker, a venerable merchant or a bachelor of the leisure class more to live in good style than the wealth of a man, also the scale of royal expenditure, and the establishment of great mercantile fortunes, the revels of vanity fair and the swarming of millionaires in the riches of the capital capital in Europe. The chief officer of the lord chamberlain, the lord slew and the master of the horse, and their points are virtually ministerial, and the resignation, will not be vacated by the lord chamberlain, the earl of Clarendon, is new to the office, having recently succeeded Lord Hopeum, who is now in Australia. Like Lord Lathom before him, he is a man of great intellect and a good shifter, a private estate is rich in historic memories, for it contains the ruined castle of Keniworth, and he has been an enthusiastic friend of the king and a good shot. His experience at court, and a good shot, but he is a man of energy, in the prime of life, and is well equipped for the complex duties of his office. The lord chamberlain has additional court functionary who has always been a friend, but during the reign of Henry VIII, he was master of the royal gifts of honor to dance gallards and brides, and guards of armour and dhons with guards of armour and dhons with escort them home after revels. In the reign of James L. he introduced and Defective Page with her parlers in popularity and "good form" as a dueling ground was the courtyard of the imperial barracks. Although the emperor has issued an order for forbidding him to fight, he seems that it has had no effect upon the custom, which is still regarded as one of the cherished institutions of the service. It comes out at the trial that the officers at the barracks habitually permitted the dueling to be a palace by office and ex-officers for a dueling ground. People who had money, of course, preferred to settle their little affairs in the barracks, a good, good price for their vitality, and one could fight in the barrack courtyard for nothing. An officer availing himself of the privileges of the dueling feel in duty bound to ask the officer who was the privilege to take a drink, or possibly, to be his guest at a small luncheon if he survived. But it was a cheaper place than Fran Pietsch's establishment, where the possible damage to the floor by flying pistol balls or sabre and the ruining of the carpets by gentlemen who were carcasses enough to bleed to death, the floor to floor. To fight a duel in the courtyard was an evidence of prosperity and anawer stage managed the masques of Hen Jenson in the Palace Gardens of Whitehall, for the chamberlain is now the adjutant in the office of the clerks and officials under him for the discharge of miscellaneous business. He is also the chief oracle on all points of interest for the arrangements for the reception of royal functions and for the social functions of the court. There is a curious medley of the old and the new, of the fantastic, the picturequeens and the new department. The lord chamberbearer chief subordinates are the vice chamberbearer; the talmiers, with their uniforms and livery ceremonies; and under them are enrolled Rod is the most important officiers. Block Rod is the most important functionaries, and there are gentlemen ushers of the privy chamber, extra gentlemen waiters and pages of the presence, and under them are the state and of the back stairs in a addition of forces of the court, the yeomen of the guard, with their quant costumes, who were in their full glory during the reign of James, and James, an 'imposing bodyguard of guildmen of the back stairs' in the royal knights of Windsor, with the dignity of royal and lower foundations; and a contingent of sergeants-at-arms. These remaster of ceremonies and the marshal of court functions. There is also an canon-plays, the modern double of the old time master of revels. The poet laureate survives in name if his work not only smells of the jewels, but that has burned low in the sockets of court librarian, with a surveyor of pictures, a marine painter and a painter in ordinary. To these are added a master of conductor of the band and a sergeant-at-arms, the keeper of the jewels, a keeper of the swans, a bargeman and an hereditary rank falconer. The lord chamberbearer and accountants and clerks apart from the private staff of secretaries, readers, cooks, stewards and attendants. that one was really a most "swapper" person. No disgrace attached to fighting in the barrack yard, to be sure, but one could not boast of it with quite the same courage as it could speak of having paid an early fee. The Frau Pletsch. The barrack yard was considered good enough for young officers living on their pay. But a "young blood" must fight at the frau's, and was not allowed to enter the "inner circles of society until he had one affair in the good manners parlor. Now it was a distinct shock to society when the parlers were raided, and many nobles and officials of high degree secretly entered the woman whose hospitality they had so often enjoyed clear of her troubles. But society could do nothing for her. The emperor had set his face sternly against dueling, and no one dared to escape the penalty of her crimes. He is not been for the emperor's attitude on the subject, however, she would undoubtedly have gone free, for her friends were pow'r to help her. She is not the "code" in Vienna. All over Austria in fact, dueling continues with unabated activity, although the authorities from the Austrian government have to stop it. They make a bitter attempt in a half-hearted manner, and in spite The court is rich in reminiscences of ancient spender and medieval mummery, of the medieval church and the etiquette of the reigning houses in Europe, performs many useful public functions and is the social center of England. It needs to be conducted with state authority, and it must fulfill the dignity of an imperial capital. It orders and provides diplomatic and so THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: C-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-This not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It is not controlled by any ring. MAKING A CONFESSION IN COURT of the efforts of the emperor to suppress dueling it has become a sort of national pastime in the empire. Duels are fought over the most trivial matters, and the unsuspecting stranger who accidentally gives offense to one of the young firefighters of Vienna is pretty sure to receive the blow. The stranger may be that the offended person thinks it component with his dignity to cross swords with him. Americans are challenged less than strangers of other nationalities, for an American is apt to knock the challenge to combat, is preoccupied with pistols as the weapon, and with pistols every son of Yankeland is supposed by the Viennese to be a dead shot. Neither are Englishmen much annoyed by the dueling proclivities of Vienna. Visitors to Vienna are often challenged and have to walk a straight line if they want to keep out of trouble. Although all men of fashion in Australia are dueslips, the most inveterate fighters are the officers of the army, who are always at it. Now that the usefulness of Frau Pietsch is impaired by her inexperience, the common jall, one of the favorite topics of fashionable circles is regarding her probable successor. Having got used to fight- seas functions or bermany and distraction, and it promotes in many ways public interest in art, music and drama. The times have changed since it was the duty monarch to admire and admire to stand with bowls of water in which the king and queen could wash their hands before revelling with noblemen at table and joining in the lord's court. Edward VII. has always been fond of color, spectacles and pleasurable excitement; and if his life be spared he can hardly fail to import animation to the Vatican diaries, and last forty years has been somber, with water in a minor key. He will need a larger civil list and possibly he will revise the general arrangements of the court, dispensing with functionaries who have vicious diaries and larging the retinue of courtiers. The millionaire now drives in a carriage little better than that of the fashionable physician who attends to his alliments, or that of a lawyer, and there is the same lack of proportion in the relations of the court and a luxurious Vanity Fair. The monarch monarch needs, mayhaps, to make an impression on the public in order to accentuate his social pre-eminence. The banqueting, the masques, the mummery, the splendides of tapestry, the cloth of gold and the glaze of gold, the jewels of Henry VIII and Elizabeth may be rivalled; but London is the heart of a worldwide empire, and perhaps the monarch will be none the less popular if the palaces are less gloomy and more brilliant cultures of life and mummies than they have been during the Victorian era.

G DUELS MAKING A CONFESSION IN COURT ing in comfortable parlor, the duelists object to being obliged to fight out of doors, and it is thought that some enterprising person will soon fill an aching to that run by an establishment similar to that run by the duelists. There is "money in it for the right parlor." Frat. Pletsch was noted for the fine surruptions in turglets she kept for the use of her customers. She had several in the best condition, all of which she professional pride in her work, as it were. She kept abreast of the times and always had on hand the most modern appliances for dressing wounds and for performing total and minor operations. The good wounds were the process of getting punctured, shaded off to a house a distinguished and genteel operation. Several persons have been mentioned as possible successors of the frau, but so no one has been thought of who cut falls. Then again, she is much missed on account of her knowledge of the "code." There is no none now who can be of such service in giving advice on disputed points. There are old and tried duelists, who have been authorities in their way, but the desiderate nature of their bad desire had become to be considered as laws. Really society there suffered a severe loss when that talented woman was sent to a female cell. Frau Pletsch was fortunate in one of the many who received their women, and died there. Several died as the results of duels fought in her parlors, but they were all polite enough to wait until they reached their homes or the house of a woman, and gave up the ghost. One result of the attack was that Frau Pletsch and the attention which has therefore been called to the prevalence of dueling in Vienna is that the emperor seems to be vain advisers for suggestions as to how to be safe in practice. If it could be made unfashionable the thing would be done, but as it is even the lower and influence of the emperor seems to be futile when opposed to the emperor and made more severe, and the emperor and made more severe, and the members of his court to frown upon it, and endeavor to create a public sentiment against it. At present, however, public sentiment is all in favor of dueling, and the emperor is on the statute books are now seldom used, while fashionable people are inclined to upon Frau Pletsch as a marry. Merr Scherer, a well-known and energetic girl unfortunately short-sighted, pedagogue in the city, was a teacher at the same school she was a short while ago in the Café Bauer, and on arriving home wished to inclose three.

To our mind there is nothing so awful as the taking of a human life; it matters not under what conditions, legally, accidentally, in war, by suicide, in self-preservation or murderously. it will therefore be understood that we do not approve of the killing of Philip Bennett and Benjamin Carter, the two white men, at Dingess, W. Va., last week, by Henry W. Alexander, an Afro-American. No, they ought not have been killed, for they did not, in our opinion, do anything to deserve death—neither did Alexander in killing them—we do not believe it is possible for one human being to do anything that justifies another human being in taking his life. But we do believe that could Bennett have possibly changed places with Alexander, he would have done just as Alexander did. Bennett did that which he thought would insult Alexander the most; and, he was, in all probability, judging from his actions in this case, used to insulting "niggers" without their resenting the insults and so thought there was no danger in doing so in this case. He, probably, like the dead and damned WOULD HAVE A PULL. Mr. Briggs-How is the new sherif making out? Farmer Riggs-Oh! he'll wear the ropes soon. Justice (?) Tany, thought: "Negroes have no rights which white men are bound to respect." No one but a "nigger" can understand all that there was in the actions and words of Bennett, who, when Alexander, as one man has done to another millions on millions of times, asked for the change of "some money, took the money; threw it into the street and said: "I don't change money for niggers." We understand that a wire charged with electricity is like a tube filled with water; push one atom more into it at one end, and a corresponding quantity comes out at the other, instantaneously. Now, we believe that Alexander had been insulted so often—just because he was a "nigger" that it only required one more insult to make him run over. Bennett was the unfortunate individual to give the one insult. The whites claim to be the most highly civilized and enlightened people on earth and they kill when insulted. They ought, therefore, expect to be killed when they insult. They have insulted Afro-Americans in so many ways and so many conditions and circumstances that they seem to think it's a harmless pastime. Every once in a while, though, they insult the wrong one and then there is trouble which might be a beverted if, like Bobby Burns, they would in their hearts say "A man's a man for 'a that.' A short time ago we read of an Afro-American who was accompanying his best girl home and was pushed off the sidewalk by some white gentlemen (?) He went home with the girl and then went back after the gentlemen (?) who had insulted and outraged him just because he was a "nigger." The gentlemen (?) were too much for him, however, and soon shot him to death. The coroner rendered a verdict that he had "committed suicide." We wonder if that was the verdict of the coroner in Bennett's case? Since God in His divine wisdom saw fit to make mankind of various colors, and since He has put a lot of different colored ones in America, and since we have all got to live here together, nolens volens, it will be better for all to try to get along with as little friction as possible. Let "Live and let live" be the motto of all. It was a very good thing for Joseph Robinson and "Bull" Holland that they were not further south than Kansas City when they were arrested charged with raping white women, or they would not now be alive, and two more innocent men would have been added to the list of those murdered by mobs. The men were arrested and protected until an investigation was had which resulted in finding these men innocent and white men guilty. Mob law must go. The old adage, "Facts are stranger than fiction" has been strikingly verified by the race around the world by AN UNTIMELY END. Mr. Caterpillar—What became of your husband, Mrs. Reach?

James Bundy, well known to the local police, was shot Sunday evening in Rosslyn by one of the Afro-American magistrates. He was not seriously injured, and after being captured was rescheduled for a neighborhood visit, by which the man was able to walk home in company with a friend. The charge against him was not pressed. The officers of the Pen and Pencil Club: L. M. Hershaw, president; R. W. Thompson, first vice president; W. T. Menard, second vice president; R. C. M.

The driver will get down, release him from the driver will get down, release him from the anti-up to the car, slowly lead him around to the back and leisurely urge him up into the back platform. Then you will give the car a push, and down it will come to the foot of the hill, when the driver will take the horse out again, harness him up and drive him slowly back on the hill. “How May We Best Meet the Disfranchisement Laws at the South?” was the subject for discussion before a special meeting of the Afro-American Council, held at the Shiloh Baptist church, L street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets northwest, Monday at 8 o'clock. The meeting was addressed by Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, D. D.; Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D.; Rev. George W. Lee, D. D.; Rev. B. J. Bolding, D. D.; ex-Representative George H. White, Prof. Jesse Lawson and John H. Hannon. Rosana Crawford, a seven-year-old girl, who lives at 308 P street northwest, was run over by a bicycle ridden by a boy, and the street northwest. The colorful girl was crossing the street and failed to notice the rapid approach of the cyclist. She was picked up by citizens and the police, ambulance conveyed her to the hospital, and found her to be suffering from a broken leg, and painful wounds about the head and body. No serious results are expected. The Pen and Pencil Club, an organization composed of the Washington correspondents of twenty of the Afro-American papers in different sections of the newspaper, Lakeview Park Tuesday. Ten years ago but two Afro-American papers had correspondents at the nation's capital. The majority of the 240 Afro-American papers have none, and of the twenty that receive a weekly letter from Washington, only four pay anything for the service; the correspondents in the remaining cases being with the body of having their names appear in print. Henry C. Miskinja and Charlotte Manye, cousins, natives of South Africa, who have been in this country for some years receiving their education, have been invited to work week and enter upon missionary work. Henry is a young man about twenty-nine years old and graduated in the theological course of Howard University last year, and has since been pursuing a course in manual training and science in the same institution. His education has been completed four years old and has just graduated from the scientific course of Wilberforce, Ohio, college. Miss Manye has traveled extensively. She is a must- TAILOR A.

She will also enter upon religious work among her people in South Africa. To the air of the "Rogue's March," played by the drum corps under Musician Duvall, Private Robert McKenny, of Company C, First Separate Battalion, was drummed out of camp at 10 a.m. for an interesting sight. About 6:30 o'clock, he brought from the guardhouse, minis his uniform and attired in a straw hat, pink shirt, and overalls. Maj. R. D. Simms, the field officer of the day, directed ceremony, Three men, unarmed, corporeal in appearance, of escorting McKenny to the railroad, where he was placed aboard a train. His ticket, to Washington, was given the conductor. McKenny was convicted by a court-martial by Maj. Arthur Brooks, of improper conduct in Leesburg. Thursday night while McKenny was in Leesburg he entered a private house occupied by a respectable Afro-American family, and made himself comfortable. By Maj. Brooks, upon hearing of the matter, sifted it to the bottom. The investigation lasted a day and a half. Justice Bradley Monday signed an order committing Joseph A. Greenfield, then ten-year-old boy who has been for years the source of contention between the judge and his foster parents, John and Maggie Bell, to the custody of the grandparent. The hearing of the case proved an interesting one in that the judge, who was seven years to secure possession of the child from the Bell family, into whose custody he was delivered at the age of six weeks, when he was abandoned by his mother. The case was continued until he was gun before the court on a writ of habeas corpus secured by the grandmother. Several witnesses were examined by the court today, and after the judge sentenced him to Bradley rendered his decision. He said that the right of the mother to the custody of the child could not be denied, and that inasmuch as she had given the grandmother written authorization to hold—a fact brought forth in court Saturday—there was no ground upon which the child could be withheld. The court stated that notwithstanding the judge's order, the grandmother should be given to the grandmother an order to that effect was then signed. The decision was a heart-breaking blow to the boy. For half an hour afterward he stood about the corridors of the City Hall weeping and moaning, asking for help of his fathers and crying that he didn't wish to leave them. Bell and his wife were equally affected. When his grandmother approached him to take him away Joseph screamed aloud and begged for help. He walked the court house steps, where he shrieked and begged to be allowed to remain with Mrs. Bell. His cries attracted a crowd, and it was not without some difficulty that the boy was finally removed with his grandmother. She will be reunited with her husband is employed and where she owns considerable property destined for the lad upon her death. Call for Annual Meeting at Philadelphia - Lonolanta Test Case The fourth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., (probably) in Chicago (Chambers), Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 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. The council will be made to make this meeting the largest and most potent for good of any which the council has ever held. In recent years Philadelphia has been the storm center of national gatherings for the discussion of a question, and the outcome has not al- ways been the most favorable for the Negro. We now have an opportunity to refute the erroneous statements that have been made there, and change the use of the term 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 in an offensive people on account of their 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 released the case from the 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 Philadelphia meeting). We have already paid $1,000 for counsel fees, and we have already paid $1,000 for court fees. Our lawyers 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 repeat 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, including the Council delegates, representing duly accredited Local Councils. (3) Affiliated delegates, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes, 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 credentialed 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 Nation are sire to co-operate with the National Council, may be represented by affiliated delegates, not more than two delegates to each organization. Said delegates shall have the right to vote upon the National Council's decisions. Editors of Afro-American newspapers and principals of newspapers and colleges may be admitted to membership in the National Council upon presentation of credentials or, upon presentation 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 and a fee on the certificate plan has been levied by 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 by the advantage of the half-fare rates.

Mud Is Recommended by Physicians as a Health Preserver. In London it was noticed that when the streets were muddy there was a marked diminution of diseases that were prevalent when dust is blowing. Bowel troubles are plentiful when people are compelled to inhale dust. Consumption, too, often gets its start from dust. Other illnesses almost equally grave follow from the breathing of flying particles of filth. Add some dust to transform the dust into mud, and for the dust gone, for mud is not inhaled. The germs that infest dry mud become in mud, because these germs, vicious as they are, are too lazy to go anywhere unless they are carried. Moreover, mud is very likely to get ultimately into the drain pipe, and the germs are carried off where they can do no harm. Even when mud dries on the ground, the brushed off the dust that arises there from mud appears to be as dangerous as that which has not been recently wet. It will thus be apparent that there is a bright side to mud, and henceforth all but the most fastidious will revel in muddy streets. Many physicians may advise their more weakly patients to go abroad in search of exercise only because the germs are muddy. Rich men may be looked upon as special mud spots somewhere on their skin while sanitaries may be expected to advertise that all the walks about their buildings are so constantly attended to that mud is guaranteed every day in the year. Mud baths have long been THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER utilized, and mud would seem certain to become one of the great curative agents of the near future. Yet wise medicos are learning nothing that has not been known for ages to mothers of large families in rural districts, where "play-g in the mud" has always been known as the children's healthiest pastime. —Boston Transcript. A REVEREND LADY'S HORSE. Animal Compels Stable-Keeper to Wear Skirt and Sunbonnet. Rev. Anna Shaw's friends are relating an incident concerning a horse which Miss Shaw purchased while on a visit to Cape Cod. The reverend lady is a good judge of horseflesh, besides being highly accomplished in numerous other ways. She has been heard to declare that David Harum himself would have difficulty in overreaching her in the matter of a trade. The Cape Cod animal which she purchased proved to be satisfactory as to speed, temper and disposition, and for several days Miss Shaw looked after him wants herself, there being no man to pronounce just at that time. Rev. Annahy secured the services of a man servant as she was leaving to deliver a lecture from Boston. The man entered the stall to perform the usual duties of a stable help and was at once kicked into insensibility. He soon recovered, but refused to go near the horse again, and the animal fared rather poorly until Miss Shaw's return. Then another man was hired, but he met a similar reception. A third keeper was engaged, Miss Shaw conscientiously informing him as to the experience of his two predecessors. The newcomer some inquiries as to the antecedents of horse and found that it had always been careful by the wife of its former owner. By booking a skirt and an old sunbonnet from Miss Shaw the man went up to the horse in safety and from that day to this has never had any trouble with the animal. What the Family Had. In speaking with a reporter of the Sun the other day of incidents which had impressed him in his ministerial career, the Rev. E. E. Weaver, pastor of the Ridgely Street Presbyterian Church, said: "There is a member of the church—a woman—whose philosophy of life in all its aspects reaches down to the roots of things. She is not slow in giving her views of people and events. One day in calling upon her I was speaking of a family that had difficulty in getting along; they were in a chronic state of want wind and summer. She knew them, I was speaking of their need and trying to get them to live it she broke in upon me: 'Mr. Weaver, I wouldn't bother with those people.' 'Why, Mrs. L., they have souls.' And no sooner had I uttered the words, with a manner and tone to resist all gainsaying, she exclaimed: 'Well, that's all they have got.'"—Baltimore Sun. Tenk Forests of World. The area of the earth's surface in which valuable teak forests are found is not extensive, being restricted to Burma, Siam, and Cochin China. Some teak has been found in Java, but it is not of a superior quality, and as yet the forests of Cochin China and a part of Siam are inaccessible. The limit of their area and the increasing demand now made upon these forests, because of the rapid growth of shipping throughout the world, is presenting a problem which the British government has attempted to solve by planting new forests; but many of these attempts have proved failures, and at best it takes from 60 to 80 years to grow a tree large enough for superior timber. Two of a Kind. The Kansas City Journal tells a story of two fools in one man's life in Southern Missouri. A young man there advertised under an as-sumed name for a wife.

After breakfast, she prepared the dinner, placed it on the stove, set the indicator at 6 and told her father she would return from the studio in time for the meal. "Now papa, I hate to leave you, but you just make yourself comfortable," she said at the door. "Have the dinner on the table when I get home. I have put it over the stove and it will be cooked to a turn at 6 if it cooks well not touch the stove. It self-heals." The microwave, "cable" watched the apparatus curiously for awhile. Then he tried to read. The he watched again, then tried to read again. That new-fangled thing worried him. He got nervous and apprehensive, put on his hat and went out.

An inspiration came to him and purchasing a phonograph roll he went to the village, placed it into the instrument which was in the taproom and talked of things about his sometime friend. He asked the old man of the inn came in to have their beary, and as their custom, some of them dropped coins into the phonograph and set it a-talking. The result was appalling to them. The phonograph told the most shocking tales about one whom they had considered a hitherto much respected and altogether to be praised if not admired fellow citizen, tales they knew not to be true. They hurried to the slandered man, and in the course of time he brought an action against his former employer. The latter pleaded that he had not insulted the guilty one. The phonograph was then turned on and turned on to give its testimony to his work. However, the judge decided that the defendant was at least an active accomplice in the slanders and fined him 59 marks. It is commonly supposed that the heating of the bearings of machines and of the axes of car wheels is due exclusively to friction, but Railway and Locomotive Engineering puts forward the theory that it is due to an electric arc. This assumes that all revolving bodies generate a current of electricity, which, it not properly explains, is the case of a revolving shaft or axle it is assumed that the current generated will pass from shaft to bearing, and if any space exists between the two, as it is practically bound to do, unless the bearing is a perfect fit, an arc is formed. As the temperature of the arc is supposed to be 6,000 degrees, it is said that this is the reason that the bearings are not raised more rapidly. Oil is supposed to act sometimes as an insulator—Baltimore Sun. Sated the Case Finish. Here is a letter from W. O. Townsend of farmer living on the Santa Fe River, who immediately settle when received by the claims department of that railroad: "Dear Sir—I have only one wife and five children—no mother-in-law. Last Monday night, about two and one-half miles east of Marceline, the car hit her on the road. She was on her Tuesday morning. April 16; she was as dead as a dirty doormat. She left a son to low for her. Spot was a common 10-year-old Musee Fork cow, worth $25. She was a fair milker; of a kind disposition. During the seven years we owned her she never bit any of the children. Please send me $25 that I may get a cow, so we can have milk for the calf and children, and oblige." CODFISH CATCH LOBSTERS. It is probably news to the majority of people to know that the red or rock codfish is a bitter enemy of the lobster that has just crawled out of his shell and is soft and unable to protect himself. During shedding time these lobsters crawl up under projecting rocks where the seawed and kelp are thick in which to attach the find protected places slipping out of their old shells and taking on a new coat of mall, so to speak. For some days after shedding the lobsters are weak and unable to cope with those fish that wage war upon them. This fact the codfish seem intuitively to know, and they will swarm around these retreats in great numbers and wait for the shedders to out. An old lobster fisherman said that he had many men who had been killed by a number of these red codfish and watched their operations. He had even dropped his line down and dangled tempting bait within a few feet of them. Unless it happened to fall directly in front of their noses, when they would sedom take it, as they the shinelobster meat. When the thin-shelled lobster bait out from beneath the protecting seaweed the codfish would dart at them and strike their fierce bumps with their tails, disabling them completely. They would then fall to and devour the helpless crustaceans. This performance the lobster fisherman said he had witnessed many times. The shedding season is over, and the shells of the lobsters are hard and hard, and they are fully able to take care of themselves.—Lewiston Journal. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Giant Trees of the Pacific Coast Have Never Been in Jeopardy. Statements in the California papers that the sequoias have no commercial value are apt to create surprise at all the effort that has been needed to begin the work of making these giant trees public instead of private property in order to preserve them. If they have a sentimental value only no great price should be asked for them. Indeed, that is the argument addressed to the eastern owner of the Calaveras grove, with whom the national government is dickering. Hitherto he has threatened unless his price was paid for the trees into lumber, when "every woman knows that the trees are of no value," says the San Francisco Chronicle. In the first place, the San Francisco paper explains, the cost of felling any one of the ninety-two big trees on the 500-acre tract would be excessive. It would take five men twenty-two days to bore enough holes through any tree thirty feet in diameter. After being felled the trunk would have to be cut into forty-foot lengths to be serviceable. A block of wood, say thirty-three feet in diameter, by forty feet in length, would weigh about 600 tons and no machinery has yet been built capable work on such a section. If it was possible to get it to a mill, and to split it with dynamite, as Mr. Whiteside once suggested, would shatter the log and spot the lumber. In other words, the big trees are vastly too massive for commercial use—New York Evening Post. "Pauline, have your sisters-in-law gwet you any advice since your marriage?"

Barbers, however, are acquainted with this fact and it is rather on account of it than through any desire to bring their patrons back soon again that they do not, unless ordered to, administer close shaves. "A close shave," a learned barber said yesterday, "removes not only the hair, but a portion of the skin as well. It also all over the line of the beard. No blood is visible to the naked eye, but under the microscope a close-shaven face reveals a thousand widely opened pores, each exuding a tiny drop of blood. You know how the sudden removal of heavy clothing tends to bring on cold. How much more, then, does a close shave, which is more nor less than a removal of part of the skin, than that it creates of pores and nerve tips, to induce sore, cold throat and even pneumonia." -Philadelphia Record. A New Alloy. Consul Albert writes from Brunswick in regard to magnalium, a new alloy of aluminium and magnesium, with a percentage of from 2 to 30 per cent of the latter metal. Magnalium, it seems, is free from the bad qualities of aluminium; while it retains its light weight, firmness and tenacity. It is especially applicable in the automobile industry, in electro-technics, aeronautics and dentistry. It can be worked with the file, lathe and planning machine; it is also admirable as a solder, and its pliability adapts it as a border for lenses and eyeglasses. Magnalium is absolutely waterproof and does not rust. Lively interest has been awakened in Sweden by the importation of American gualls. Count Claes Lewenhaupt of Fosfostry has ordered this spring more than 5,000 gualls, costing $3,500, and still more orders are expected. The birds are in sages in cages fifty inch enclosure cages—constructed especially for the purpose. The small lot of American gualls which were set free in Count Lewenhaupt's estate at Claes Lewenhaupt's spring ended the winter cell, and the apparaunt that Sweden has good prospects of an increase in its same birds.

"Corustales," "Gam-Suckers," "Crow-Eaters" and "Wheatfielders" Are Samples. Eaters" and "Wheatbuffers." Are Samplest. Although the Australian colonies have now been linked together in a commonwealth, it is not probable that the nicknames bestowed by one province on another will be abandoned. The inhabitants of New South Wales have long been known as "cornstalks," an allusion to the length and slimness of the average young South Wales native cattle, and to the suckers," with reference to the gum that is found on many native trees, some of which is relished by juveniles. "Crow-esters," as applied to the South Australians, owes its origin to a statement that in times of drought the wheat farmers of South Australia are driven to the source suggested for the crop. The euphonious name sometimes used for the same province. The Queenlanders are known as "banana landers," that tropical fruit growing there abundantly. Western Australians—or, as they are now generally called, Westlanians—are in the east as "sand gropers" or "gropers." The Westlanians are known all the other states into "other side" and call the residents "other siders." Tasmania, the green little isle that is much like England in climate and other characteristics, is generally regarded as very quiet and rather behind the times, and is referred to as "the land of lots of time," "the land of sleep a lot," and so on, while the inhabitants are known as "suckers" and the latter being an allusion to the great fruit production of the "tight little island."—Lefsure Hours. STILL AN UNKNOWN LAND. Interior of South America Not Explored by Whiting Large areas of the South American continent have never yet been trodden by the foot of civilized man. It will surprise many to learn that there are larger tracts unexplored in that region than in darkest Africa, yet such is the fact. A large majority of the cities along the coasts of South America have been organized into the school, were settled in the Colombian era. Civilization is in fact much older there than in North America. Yet for nearly 300 years there has been not much organized attempt to explore the interior. The first expedition sent out by a South American government was in 1875. Many of the settlers of the region were members of their own territory. Most of the maps in use have been made by explorers from Europe or the United States. The greater part of the immense tract of land in the middle of the continent from Venezuela to Chile has not yet reached the roughest pioneer state of settlement. A considerable part of Colombia is wholly in the Atlantic states even as far north as Uruguay, have many blank sections on their maps. The Guianas, except for a strip along the coast, are practically unknown. The condition of affairs in Brazil is scarcely better. The Brazilian government has no department corresponding to our geographical or coast and geographic surveys. The only exploring done there is through the Amazon. There are large tracts in the northern part of Brazil which have never been crossed, as far as is known, by any white man. The pro tempore boss of Tammany Hall—Richard Croker being on the other side of the ocean—is James J. Coogan of the borough of Manhattan. That worthy recently applied to a Harlem horse dealer to purchase a trotter. The liverman brought out a handsome bay horse. "I'll guarantee that animal to go in 3:00 easy, said the dealer. Coogan understood the man to mean that the horse could go a mile in three minutes and drove the animal up to the speedway to try him. "I found he was a slow plug and could not trot," said the friend of Croker in telling the story. "I drove back to the stable. "Here you,' I said to the dealer, 'you told me this horse could go in three minutes! It took him by the watch. " "Well, you must have been in a deuce of a hurry if you could drive the dealer reepal. Coogan did not buy the horse—Chicago Chronicle. Two men well please God—who serves him well in his heart because he knows him, who sees his heart because he knows him not—Ivan Panin.
