The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: to publish all the news possible. no impartially, wasting no words. students are able and energetic. TUSKEGEE Annual Report of Principal Booker T. Washington. VOL.17.NO.49 To the Trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute: Gentlemen: During the present school year 1,263 students have been in attendance, and the average daily attendance has been 1,010. About one-third have been young women and the remainder young men. The average age has been 18½, and none have been admitted under 14 years of age, and unless they have had some academic preparation. The students have come to us from 29 states and territories, and from 6 foreign countries, including 14 from Cuba and Porto Rico. Aside from the students just named, who are in the regular industrial, academic and religious departments, there are 160 in the training school, which is taught upon the school grounds and teaches the students. The students is attended by the small children from the town of Tuskegee and the children of our teachers, and is not only used to benefit children of the town, but as a school of practice for those of our students who expect to become teachers. The school is located in the town of Tuskegee, which has an attendance of 88 students, and is composed of persons who work in the town during the day. An afternoon cooking class is also maintained in the town of Tuskegee for the benefit of the students. The cooking school, it is the aim to teach the best and latest methods of preparing and serving food, and other household duties. Most of those who attend the afternoon cooking school, also attend the night school. Thirteen are at the afternoon cooking school. Counting those who are in regular attendance at the institution, together with those in the training school, town night school and the town afternoon cooking school, there is a total of 1.514 number does not include the hundreds of adults who are reached through the Tuskegee Annual Negro Conference, together with its numerous local Negro conferences. There are in the employ of the school, in the capacity of officers, academics, industrial instructors, assistants, clerks, etc., 109 persons. Since its beginning, 498 persons have received diplomas and certificates of graduation from its various departments, and these are at work in various fields of usefulness in every part of the Society. WORK OF GRADUATES. Aside from those who have graduated, it is safe to say that there are more than three thousand who have not remained long enough to receive a diploma or certificate, but who, nevertheless, have been so much benefited by the work they are doing praiseworthy work. In the early years of the school, the larger proportion of our graduates became teachers. At the present time a very large proportion follow the trade or industry learned at this institution, and we are now able to combine their industrial knowledge with teaching, while still others teach a portion of the year and work at their trade the remainder of the time. The calls that come to us almost daily, not only from the Negro race, but also from other departments to enter various fields of usefulness, are many—more than we can supply. The calls from white people for our graduates to take charge of various departments of agriculture, are especially numerous. If we had the room and means, we could and opportunity to be the greatest usefulness for many times more graduates than we are sending out. In accordance with a vote of the Trustees, Rev. R. C. Bedford, one of our trustees, is spending a portion of the work of our graduates and under-graduates, and one gratifying fact in connection with this inspection is that very few men and women who have spent any considerable time at this institution are to be found in idleness. Since the entire value of our work is to be tested by the success of our graduates, we feel that we cannot be too careful in keeping in close and accurate records of those who have been educated here. In several cases graduates of this institution are planting the methods and the spirit of this work in a surprising and interesting variety in various parts of the South. Especially is this true of the school known as the Mt. Meigs Institute, at Waugh Ala; the Snow Hill Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala.; the Christiansen Institute, Denmark; Denmark Industrial School, at Denmark, S. C., as well as several others. It is a notable and encouraging fact that in the case of the schools at Snow Hill and Denmark, that the prime move of these schools have been Southern white men. More and more each year we are aiming to secure the most promising students from a wide section of territory and to so train them that they return to their homes and give their communities the benefit of their training. As fact as possible we are encouraging our graduates and others to introduce training in agriculture into the public schools of the South. This we think very important for the schools located in the small towns and rural districts. In this industrial training, we keep specially in mind the emphasizing of those industries at which the students can find immediate employment as soon as they leave us. GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF WORK. The experiment when we began try THE APPEAL. ing some two years ago of giving training to a portion of our young women in such outdoor industries as gardening, horticulture, dairying, be-raising and poultry raising, is proving true of poultry raising. Several of the new agricultural buildings mentioned in my last report have been completed. All of these were buildings greatly needed. Among them a henryn. This new building gives us the opportunity fowls in the best manner. The same building gives us the friends whose gift made it possible for us to erect the henryn, also enabled us to build a new barn for the dairy cows, and a new dairy house. All three of these buildings were much needed and put us in a position to do more work. Dorothy Hall, the new Trades' Building for Girls, given by us by friends in New York, to which I made reference in my last report, is completed and was dedicated April 22, 1901. This is a very satisfactory building, and is in a position to give more effective training to 3 girls ever before. A friend in Boston has given us $2,000 to be used in the erection of a training school building, and another in Connecticut has given $4,000 for a hospital. Both of these buildings are designed for erection and are much needed. Mr. Morris K. Jesup, of New York, has given $5,000 for a new barn for horses and mules. This building is also being constructed. This building has given $200,000 for a new library building, which is also in process of erection. In connection with all these buildings we are sticking to our original idea of having practically all of the work done by the labor of the students. This has been our most prosperous and encouraging year. The report of the Treasurer will show our financial condition in detail. Very largely through the medium of large meetings held in Boston, New York and Philadelphia and other centers, we in our work has not only been kept alive, but has grown and broadened. FINANCIAL The total money received for general purposes this year has been $189,782.30. Of this amount, $112,104.34 has been used to meet the current expenses of this year, and the remainder to meet prior obligations. The report of the Treasurer will show that the institution is practically free from debt, and friends can feel assured that whatever they give will be used for the school, and not in meeting debts. Since my last report we have received for special buildings and other designated purposes in the direction of improving the plant, $288,008.25. Since last year the Endowment Fund amounted to $158,224.49. Since that time this fund has been increased to $252,971.02. The whole of this fund is invested in safe and conservative securities by our Enfield York. This committee consists of Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr. 128 Broadway, New York; Mr. J. G. Phelps Stokes, 47 Cedar street, New York. The average interest now being received for the Endowment is about 4½ per cent. The total amount received from all sources, for all purposes, $121,523.08. It now costs annually to operate the school—it's departments not far from $100,000. To meet this annual expense we are now assured of the following amounts: $4,500 from the state of Alabama. $1,400 from the "Peabody Fund." $800 from A. M. Fund. $2,000 from students' entrance fees. $12,000 from the John F. Slater Fund. $270 from the Woman's Home Mission Association, of Boston, as well as other amounts. Added to these is the fund of our Endowment Fund, which is about $11,000, thus making a total of $22,070 that we can depend upon with reasonable certainty, leaving approximately $88.00 to be used for the school; the current expenses of the school. This money is secured mainly in the form of small gifts from indian schools and churches and other organizations in all parts of the country. The amount named as needed for current expenses leaves out of account the money needed for buildings, machinery and other improvements of the plant. Two-fifths of the total amount received during the past two years has gone into the permanent plant and En- gineering. We have a right, I think, to point with pride to the small average cost of educating our students. The total number of students reached being $12,000, the current expenses charged being $1,000, the people bring the whole cost for each individual to $73. The greater proportion of what the students pay in the form of labor. They have paid toward the expenses in labor this year, $7,291.15. Every effort is constantly being made to reduce the expenses of the institution, and to exercise the strictest control over them. At this point I cannot refrain from mentioning our indebtedness to six friends whose quiet, unrestricted generosity has lifted this year a great burden from our shoulders and placed them under our care. It can accomplish much more good than has ever been tried in its history. I am sorry that I cannot have the pleasure of giving their names, but I am proud to be one of them. (Continued on Fourth Page.) HE IS A MAN. Reverend Dr. J. R. Slatery Defends the Afro=American. "Let Him Have a Man's Chance, Fair Play and No Favor" Says the Head of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Seminary, of Baltimore.—From the New York Journal, Copyright 1901 by W. R. Hearst. President Theodore Roosevelt. No essential difference exists between the manhood of the Negro and the manhood of the Caucasian; not even, indeed, in the minds of the worst enemies of the progeny of Ham. A manhood of the Negro owes eyes in the ubiquitous mutuos, quadroons, octoons—the offspring of both races, capable of having children by either or both. It is curious to note how men who are sane on every other subject speak of the white race as superior, and the black race as inferior, OF GOD. Strange twist of an honorable legal dictum! Evolution should once and forever put an end to such a blasphemy. Far near the truth is it to Pr Who Makes a Stro hold that man was at first black, and that the whites are a bleached-out race. As the word "ADAM" may mean a man as opposed to a woman, a man as opposed to a woman, a man as opposed to a woman, there can be no loophole left in the biblical legend of creation from which to look upon the first man as white. In the next place, the Negro has finally qualified us to build good citizenship and healthy morality. Self-respect may be first mentioned. In the South a Negro tramp is a very rare exception, and in the North practically unknown. If we get Afro-Americans to go to hospitals and kindred institutions. No anarchists are numbered among them; no unruly strikers. Again patience is a marked trait in the Negro race. To-day, indeed, it seems dark for the black man, because the South is laboring to rob him of his vote. But we may be perfectly sure that in the Negro will accrue a fresh and let us hope, and triumph. "Violentia non durat." The Negro's cheerfulness is a splendid gift of the race. Under any and all circumstances he is gay and happy. Give him three meals a day and he will be cheerful to them but two and he is just as happy. Let him have but one and the everlasting smile still broadens his countenance. If eight millions of my race—the Irish—were in the South to-day, and had to put up with what the Negroes endure, instead of cheerfulness, they would be war and rebellion. How differently the Negroes during the past three hundred years have acted toward the South, from the uprisings and contentions which England has met with from the Irish since the days of Elidabeth. Bad as was Irish slavery in Canmore's time, it was vastly less than Annegro slavery in our Southland. To self-respect, patience and cheerfulness may be added gentlemanliness. Cardinal Newman defines a gentleman as one who never wounds another. Cardinal Newman certainly is not given to resentment. He press ascribes to him bloodthirsty conduct in some outbreak or other. But when the air is cleaned and more trustworthy reports of alleged Negro President Theodore Roosevelt Long Arraignment of Anarchy in his First Mees riots and depredations are at hand, as a rule the Negro is found to be the sufferer, to be hidden in the woods, to be panic-stricken; in a word, to be helpless. We are familiar, too, with the contemptuous thumb pointed over the shoulder Africa-wards, as though the Dark Continent were the symbol of ignorance and savagery. But Africa is the Sphinx of history, almost as much a riddle to us as it was to the Romans and Carthagenians. Recent discoveries, however, seem to show that the Negroes belong to the same race as those wonderful Egyptians who, under the Pharaohs, ruled the world. Not long ago the French Governments sent an expedition in charge of Felix Dubois, to investigate the remains of African scholarship in the Niger Country. From his work, "Timbucto, the Mysterious," we learn that Negro universities existed at Sankore and Jenna in the Soudan before any What the Negro asks is fair play and no favor. Let him have a man's chance. In courts let him receive justice. A Southern banker, speaking to me one day, said that "If white men will go to court, it is morally certain that the ten white men will go gcot free, while the ten black will be sent to jail." In Baltimore, a few days ago, the students of a medical college mobbed the police so badly that the response had to be called out. Yet of the eight who were arrested, only one was fired, and he but one dollar and coins. But when four or five Negro boys are caught playing crape they give to the station house quietly and are fined from five to ten dollars each. Fair play again demands that Negro laborers should receive cash in payment for their hire. Store pay is wholesale in the South and the North, and are valuable to their employers. Fair play reprobates the stockades and convivies farms of the South. Therein the Negro must work out his fine and cost of maintenance at a rate agreed upon before the contract is signed. In one case which we know of this rate was fixed at ONE CENT PER WORKING DAY. Lastly fair play demands that bona-fide deeds be given to the Negro when he buys land. alt. message to Congress. unions responsible in great measure for the tardiness of the Negro race. They deny trades to the negroes. The most dangerous classes of the least advanced nations of Europe, when dumped upon our shores, ply their trades, which their offspring also learn. This is why the Negro is the greater labor. But the Negro—the child of the soil—is barred out. On the one hand he is found fault with because he is idle; on the other, let him ask for a job in a factory, or another job in a factory; in a store, the black skin is the insurmountable barrier. Alas, no greater curse can the Almighty inflict upon a man than to make him black Petersburg, Va.

CAPITAL Washington City and Doings of Its People. Bishop B. W. Arnett spent the week in the city. Booker T. Washington was in the city Tuesday and had a conference with the President. The Second Baptist Lyceum had a special service song by the famous Amphilip Glee Club under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis, last Sunday. Representative Rixey, of Virginia, has introduced a bill providing for the direction of a memorial bridge across the Potomac at Washington at a cost not to exceed $5,000,000. The President has appointed Crosby S. Noyes one of the trustees of the District Reform school. Mr. Noyes has been one of the trustees of this institution since October 18, 1886. He has been reappointed for a term of three years. Mr. Noyes is the editor of the Star. For the first time in thirty years 10,000,000 Afro-Americans are without representation in Congress. This condition will not, of course continue propaganda in the south disfranchising afro-Americans in the south will keep the Afro-American down for a while, but hell rise again. Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, has introduced a bill in Congress giving a territorial form of government to the citizens of the District of Columbia. The bill proposes that legislature of the Territory of Columbia pass a Senate and House of Representatives, Senate to be composed of eleven and the House of twenty-two members. The Bethel Literary Society, which was founded in 1881 by Bishay Payne, of the A. M. E. Church, had a splendid meeting Tuesday evening. Rev.

If the officer had taken an Afro-American woman, even if a composite and nearly white, he would have been ostracised Edward A. Savoy has been appointed chief messenger to the Secretary of State at $1,000 per annum to fill the position caused by the death of William Gwennan, a veteran employee of the State Department and his rise has been gradual but steady. In July, 1871, he was appointed a page in the State Department at $15,000 a month by Secretary Hamilton Fish, and he promoted to higher grade by Secretaries Frelinghuysen, Sherman and Day. Since June 15, 1888, he has been appointed a page per annum. He accompanied the American delegation to the Paris peace conference and served the .commission faithfully throughout its sessions from September 1888 to December 24, of the same year. As the district of Columbia and has established a high record for efficiency and reliability. Flower thieves, many of them women in smart, fashionable attire, played havoc Monday at the Capitol with the doral tribute intended by admiring congressmen. After the House hadjourned for the day the doors leading into the lobby were thrown open and the great crowd of men and women been surging in the corridors and owing their allegiance to the afternoon made a break for the lobby. They picked up a bouquet here and a basket there, and without hesitation they took the possible consequences walked off the floor concerned as though they were their own. Several women were caught by Capitol policemen as they were leaving Beauty roses, the armfuls of American beauty roses, and several hundred dollars' worth of flowers were purlined. There were no Afro-Americans in the crowd. When Mr. Theodore Swayze resigned his position as Chief Clerk of the Treasury last spring, Secretary Gage appointed Mr. Wallace H. Hills to all the place, with the understanding that Mr. Swayze will be the place to Mr. Swayze on his recovery. Now thinks that his heath is in good condition and that he is able to take upon himself the responsibilities connected with the office. He therefore asked Mr. Swayze to leave having his old place again. Mr. Swayze fulfilled the duties of the office with great credit to himself and the entire satisfaction of the Treasury authorities, and Mr. Gage found it a painful experience of days, and after consulting with Mr. Swayze, his secretary appointed him a special empire the Customs Service, with headquarters at Baltimore, with headquarters at Baltimore, with headquarters.

Mrs. Lucy Jackson, who gives her age as 100 years, was an inmate Saturday at the House of Detention. She is a native of Auburn, a, and as a young girl there remember being seen George Washington. She is the home of Frederick Bond, her mother on R street, near Seventh street, and before yesterday. She was picked up last night. Thirteenth and P streets by a police man, and before she arrived at the House of Detention her feet were frozely on the ground under treatment, and if her feet were not reclaim her, will be sent to the house. She says the daughter of her old mistress, Mrs. Nelson, is yet living with S. C. The old woman, a warm bed last night at the House of Detention and talked to the matron. "I remember," said she, "when Gen. Washington came to Culpeper for a bathe. He went to a barber shop in the inn he had to have, and I followed him. He smiled at me, and my master, Richard Norris, in Virginia, I went to the Nielson family of South Carolina. They put me in the cotton fields, but afterward made me a house after the war was over I was freed, and after the war was worked for Massa Nelson. After I earned enough money I came back to Culpeper to find some of my children." Mrs. Jackson lived with her granddaughter there and later carte to Washington. The old woman is half Indiana, the other was an Indian and her mother was a negress. Her appearance is neat and negress with the matron of the House of Detention was interesting. Her checkbones are extremely high and her color is a dark red. She resembles an Indian in Negro. This coming Christmas day she claims, she will be 110 years of age. The old woman remembers "Andy" Jackson, as well as "Stonewall" Jackson. She told of hearing, while she was the Nelsons, of the coming of "Yankee" man on his march to the sea. She said the months before the arrival of the Yankee general, she buried the family and wines in a corner of the cornfield, before the dread officer and his men served the corn had grown tall and green. The "sperite" were saved. The old woman's son-in-law has been notified of her incarceration, and he has promised to take her back home this morning. Charges have been made against President Tyler, of William and Mary College of Williamsburg, Va. The "terrible offense" consisted in sending his daughter to Wellesley, where Bocker Washington's daughter is also a pupil. HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL ADAMS BROS. EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS 49 E.

THE APPEAL wants good reliable agents to canvass for subscribers at points not already covered. Write for our extraordinary inducements. Address, Representative Moody, of Massachusetts, evidently intends to find out something about the Louisiana style of electing Congressmen by disfranchising the Afro-American. He has introduced the following resolution: "Resolved. That the Speaker shall appoint a select committee of eleven members, who shall inquire and have leave to report, by bill or otherwise, at any time, whether at the election in the State of Louisiana wherein the members of the House of Representatives from said State were chosen the right of any of the male inhabitants of said State, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, to vote at said election was by the constitution and laws of said State denied or inany way abridged contrary to the Constitution of the United States or the articles in addition thereto and amendment thereof; whether if the right of any person to vote was denied or abridged as aforesaid the members from said State chosen at said election are entitled to membership in this House, and whether it is expedient that Congress should enact appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth' and fifteenth articles in addition to and amendment of the Constitution of the United States." Born in America, the hell hole of race prejudice, even the 'genius of Henry O. Tanner, the great Afro-American painter, was not recognized by the people of this country. Going to Paris his wonderful religious paintings won him the attention and admiration of the world of art. Incidentally a Caucassian-American lady, the daughter of a wealthy railroad man, who was an art student in the French capital, was attracted by the famous artist, and now she is Mrs. Tanner. Mr. Tanner's most famous painting, "The Raising of Lazarus," was purchased by the French government for 100,000 francs, and hangs in the Galleries of the Luxembourg. Now that he has been recognized abroad Mr. Tanner is persona grata with American artists and people generally. His popularity is so great that the Ladies' Home Journal, the most widely circulated of American monthly periodicals, has just signed an agreement by which reproductions of Tanner's greatest biblical pictures will be published in that journal. Moral: Succeed in Europe and return to America. The Southern Caucasians get very angry when an Afro-American editor calls attention to their failings. One gentleman who by the seven-eights Caucasian was obliged to leave Wilmington, N. C., between dark and dawn in order to preserve his skin entire, because he told the truth about Southern conditions. Caucasian Ella Wheeler Wilcox speaks very plainly about race mixing in a recent article. The Southernners who prate about "social equality" will no doubt be "sore," but they'll not mob Ella for saving: "There are scores of handsome and brilliant men and women belonging to excellent families who are elite unconscious of the source to which their splendid teeth and waving auburn hair could be traced. From the old colonial days, down to the end of the civil war, the slave-holding gentleman frequently increased his list of chattels without attending public auctions or buying slaves. This ancestry is far more prevalent in America than we imagine or suspect." The Washington Post pokes fun at Prof. Scarborough, of Wilberforce, calling him a "professional Negro," whatever that it, because he has written a communication which was published in the London Chronicle under the headline "A Terrible Chapter in American History." Prof. Scarborough has not told the half of the outrages pernitted upon a defenseless race. John C. Calhoun once said: "Show me a Negro who can conjugate the Greek verb and I'll say slavery is wrong." Scarborough is professor of Greek at Wilberforce and he has probably forgotten more about Greek than Calhoun ever knew. Scarborough is not only able to conjugate the Greek verb—he has written a series of Greek text books now in use in many institutions of learning and he is a black man too. A suggestion has been made to the effect that Congress authorize the erection of a beautiful building to be known as McKinley Hall, suitable for a meeting place of semi-official gatherings, such as the international maritime conference, the international post congress, the international geographic congress, which is to meet here in 1904, pan-American conferences and similar bodies. There is now no such hall at the national capital, and one is much needed. A memorial building of this character would not only be useful and dignified, but it could from time to time be enriched with works of art of a distinctively national type. It is the belief of many eminent men that the United States is rich enough to be able to erect suitable memorials at the national capital to all three of the great men of its last half-century—Lincoln, Grant and McKinley. Since the occurrence of the "Booker Washington incident" it has been the subject of discussion in many debating societies. The question has nearly split the literary circles of the Methodist church at White Plains, N. Y. The subject chosen for the last meeting was "Was it right for President Roosevelt to invite Booker T. Washington to dine with himself and family at the White House?" Dobbs, a Southerner, took the negative side. Several times he referred to Washington as "the nigger," and said that a negro is not fit to dine with any white man's family. While some members of the society agreed with him his remarks met with a great deal of disapproval and he was given hisises and groans by a portion of his listeners. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER The citizens, or at least a portion of the Caucasian citizens, have offered the Bishops of the Methodist Church South a donation of 245 acres of land and $1,000 is promised if the Methodist church and the Methodist Church South would utilize confolly the same for an endowed institution of learning, last night made its report to the conference, accepting the same, but with an amendment that no Negro or person of Negro descent be permitted to enter the school. The conference as a whole adopted the committee's report, without alteration. This Methodist Church South is supposed to be a church of the God who "made of one blood all nations of the earth." "Justice to the Woman" is an appeal to mankind wrong supposed to have been the weaker sister by modern civilization, put it the oppressed of the Beetle Babcock. The book bears the imprint of A. G.

Many respects a remark appearing as it does when an odeguration, showing development and great change in the lifetime of the period in science of the period in war, is presented in Gen. Fred's rp. President Roosevelt's first message to Congress is a striking document. The President has many things to say and he—just says them. There is no striving for rhetorical effect, although the message is an excellent composition. The most notable thing in the message is the scathing denunciation of anarchy. It is evident that the President does not consider the Afro-Americans as a race apart from other Americans. For this the people of the race are grateful. They ask only a man's chance and no favor. Mrs. Janetella Robinson Murphy, of New York, has been entertaining Chicago society with what the daily papers call "darky song." The dailies go on to say "The darkies scampered out into the hall for a hoe down and a real 'nigger' time they had of it, while the white folks inside were trying their best to keep time with the music." We trust this is not true. No Afro-Americans should allow themselves to be used for such a purpose. The Charleston Exposition opened this week. One hundred years ago Charleston equaled Boston in population. It was one of our busiest seaports. Deaf to reason it attempted to destroy the Union. The result is a part of history. If Charleston will turn its back to the past, give up its race prejudice, introduce some Northern brains into its business and commerce it will become one of the great cities of the country. According to the Louisville papers two Afro-American women created a sensation by entering a Caucasian church last Sunday. "In some manner they escaped and avoided the ushers and entered the pew of Andrew Broaddus." who endured the ordeal without flinching." The terrible affair took place in an alleged house of God in America in the twentieth century! Representative Crumpacker, of Indiana, says: "I venture that the time will come when the Southern people will rise up and call the fifteenth amendment blessed." The Congressman means well, but he evidently does not understand the Southerners' determination, that the Afro-American shall be deprived of all his rights in the South. White waiters, members of unions in several of the big railroad centers of the country, are preparing to make a general fight on the employment of Afro-American waiters in dining cars. The plan is to unionize every branch of hotel and restaurant labor and admit barkeepers to membership. The whites allege that the Afro-Americans are willing to work for lower wages. Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives for the protection of colored citizens against lynching in default of state protection. Why not include all citizens. The Afro-American has no desire for special legislation. Let the Government protect every citizen. The Supreme Court of the United States has handed down a decision holding that the Philippine Islands are, a part of the United States and that there is no provision in the treaty with Spain that the inhabitants should not—become citizens of the United States. _____ The importance of good pure reading matter for the growing mind cannot be overestimated. The Youths Companion, published at Boston, Mass., is the best periodical for the young printed in the English language. There is a new wrinkle in the lynching business. Seven men accused of hanging an Afro-American were recently convicted of ASSAULT AND BATTERY. Thomas Nelson Page, of Virginia, complains of the solidarity of the Afro-American 'Well—the whites are organized solidly against the race.

This is volume 10 of the Riverside Biographical series and a delightful little book it is. President Barfield described Alexander Hamilton as "the greatest American who ever trod the soil," and it is the consensus of opinion that Hamilton was the greatest constructive statesman the country has yet produced. Mr. Conant in his book gives a general estimate of Hamilton's powers rather than a detailed description of them. The fact there is undisputable proof that Negro blood coursed in Hamilton's veins lends additional charm to the Afro-American reader. "The Woman Who Dares" by Ursula N. Gestefeld. In this novel the heroine seeks to find and realize her own individuality, who was true to her ideals and who finally succeeded in inducing her husband to share in her lofty aspirations. The author is evidently in earnest and a great moral purpose is kept constantly in view. It is meant to show the in justice of the dual standard of morality. The subject although treated with force and tact is delicately handled. In a masterly way it shows that it is the sacred duty of every married woman to demand the absolute right to her own person in wedlock. Prizs 150 postpaid.

Among the clever and original holiday books of the present year a high place must be acorded to "Plantation Songs for Mr. Lady's Banjo," and Other Negro Lords and Manologues." by Eli Shepperd. The humor and realism of the songs are greatly enhanced by twenty-five plantation scenes life of southern Negroes. The byways have the somontetty, the artless simplicity and the occasional flashes of genius found in actual utterances of this kind. It is more than likely that Mr. Shepperd's book will furnish some permanent contributions to the fund of classic Negro methodics.

Two Wars: An autobiography. By Gen. Robert B. Ware, a graduate of Publishers Co. "Two Wars" many respects a remarkable publication. He presents a biography of an octogonian, showing the wonderful development and great changes which have taken place in Gen. Ware's man, and particularly the advances under his scientific in the period between the two wars. The book is presented in Gen. French's realistic description in the battle of Monterey, Bucuresti, and that of Kenesaw, and others of the civil war. His account of the condition of the Texas Indians, his reports to the government, and plans for their relief are interesting bits of history. The general, in his bright, characteristic way, tells many anecdotes of prominent persons he has known—U.S. Grant, his classmate at West Point, his comrade in arms in Mexico, and his opponent in the civil war; Gen. Scott, Jennie Lind and others. The Real Latin Quarter of Paris by E. B. Berkeley Smith.

In a seductive charm about that famousிரere is a "the New York Times," which is a depiction of Paris—the Latin Quarter—which is more known only by reputation. Wherein this, the analysis of the understood. The casual visitor, who has wandered through the Quarter, or who, and the time of the time, is to be taken through it by one of the same words not tell you of its fascinations. He cannot portray its life, or interpret its spirit. It is not possible to find the real in-mosphere of the place, or the true invariety of its throbbing, sad-and-gay existence. The reading of E. B. Berkeley Smith's delightful book, "The New York Times," is the first for Paris can be omitted, if need be, with far less actual loss in the way of information. The greater is, it is being called as the greater enjoyment than heretofore. Some of the "the New York Times" are a hundred sketches and photographs by author, two caricatures in color by the author. The first is Sancha and a water-color frontspiece by Smith. In the book, "The New York Times," he had the indusome color, make it particularly available to the author. "One Times in Dixie-Land." by Mrs. Caroline Herrera is an exceptionally interesting book. While the books of the early years of the time being a history it presents with surprising vividness typical scenes and exasperations that are of the very spirit of history. "Racen says that Jefferson always knew all about everything on the plantation." He knew the name of every tree, just when one was dead or needed nursing. He even told Gold, what pigs to kill, for he had names for them all. "His habits were regular and systematic. He was a miser of his time, rose always at dawn, wrote and read until breakfast, breakfasted early, and dined from 3 to 4, and 9 and 10. He said in his life that the sun had not caught him in bed for fifty years. He always made his own fire. He drank water but once a day a single glass, when he returned from his ride. He are nearly, and must never be vegetable food, preferring French cooking." "Jefferson's opinion of European royalty was expressed in a letter to Gen. Washington, in which he said: 'I can say with perfect safety that there is not a crowned head in Europe whose talents or merits would entitle him to be elected a vestry in my city by the people of any parish in America.' "Jefferson was ambidextrous. He could write equally well with either hand. When his right wrist was broken he learned to use his pen with his left hand, which became the right to the other. It would have been impossible for him to be killed on his extensive correspondence without being able to relieve his right hand at intervals." "Candle-Lightin' Time," by Paul Lawrenz, author, is the title of one of the books of poems of the year. The binding is a fine leather-bound, with books of poems of the year. The binding is enhanced by leaf and flower designs, illustrations, which compose a picturesque scene. The poem is the "Folk from Dixie," was taken from the book "The Decorations," by Margaret Armstrong, author, and blindly, make a poem in themselves. and attack strikes a note herein as clear and immediate evidence of the need to the public.

Treasury Department, and his career changed to verse during his leisure hours. Lieut. Toomey has not essayed to versify in dialect, but in pure and strong English he strikes his lyre and run through the entire scale of harmony. Not all the lyrics found in this little volume are particularly the marks of an accepted genius. Riley and Dunbar may soar to more ethereal realms of poesy than this "soldier singer" but his efforts are well sustained and disclose glimpses of wide historical reading and a brilliant imagination. In "Our Last Tribute" a poem dedicated to the Hon. Ge. C. White, we find some lines which approach the spirit of genius of our most ancient men, with enclosed face. Speaks out this man for millions of his race. Wrapped is the hall in silence, chained Save that of hearing, which alert, intense. Pain is on each face a look expectant, A listening atmosphere permeates the scene. The hall, a work of art, histroic, grand. Where what is don may curse or bless the room.

(Cuban ards) at once the inimitable, given any attention to Spanish literature. In this volume are the best selections from the poetical works of Heredia, Placido, Avellaueda, Milanes, Mendive, Luaces and Zenen. To the American public whose eyes have been riveted upon Cuba and everything Cuban since the Spanish-American war it is, indeed, a very welcome revelation of the aesthetic mind and soul of the "Pearl of the Antilles." It is, however, to the songs of Placido, the mutilation poet to which especial attention is called. He was born at Havana, March 18, 1800. Although slavery existed in his time, Placido was born free. In his boyhood he received little education, his parents being very poor and he was compelled to study alone whenever opportunity presented itself from his employment as a Peinetero. He must have read widely, for the results of his literary knowledge were soon made strikingly manifest in a novel called "Placida y Blanca," which placed him in the front rank of Spanish writers. Of his poetry, Sales y Quroga, the Spanish critic, says: "This man in his half-stage was as a sublime and generous passions that no man can understand. Across the mistakes of form and prosedy there are brilliant sparks which initiate and flash; and I know of no other American poet. In addition to He, he is, that even approaches him in genius, in inspiration in nobility and dignity." He was accused of complicity in a conspicuous against the whites and was shot at Matanzo and 28, 51. In his "Plegaria a Dios" (Prayer to God) which he composed in prison several days before his execution, and whose last appeal was the effect of the condened, alone would suffice to immortalize the name of the author, and it is the best proof that Placido was innocent of all crime. Mas si cuadra a tu suma omnipotencia Que yo perecía cual malvado implo. Y que los hombres mi cadaver frio Ultrajon con maligna complacencia I Suene tu voz, y acte mi existencia I Complase en mi tu voluntad, Dios, mi. But if it suits the omnipotent God That I should perish in my impity And the same may the corpse Shall violate with malignancessing complacence I dreamed, thy voice, end my existence Fulfill in me, my God, thy will. The latest work from the men of Mr. Charles W. Chesnut, "The Marrow of Tradition," is a notable production. In-ded. it is the strongest and most absorbing story of Southern life, which has yet come from that sectional phase of American life. Cable, Page, Tourgee and Joel Chandler Harris have pened with, cunning fidelity stories of "Dixie land," and Harriet Beecher Stowe's great story was great because of the more influence it exerted, rather than its artistic finish. In the "Marrow of Tradition" we find every phase of Southern life painted with such rare fidelity that at last appears the cultured and industrious phase of Afro-American life, not over done, but just as we know it to be. At last the Southern white artistoerat, "poor white" antebellum Negro and cultured Afro-American are placed in juxta position in a chef d'œuvre of Charles W. Chesnut, which easily puts him in the front rank of American novelists. F. CHARLES W.

Never until "The Little Minister" accomplished it has any play succeeded in attracting, night after night, without missing a single performance, capacity of the house. It has gained its tremendous favor by reason of its pure, charming and simple story, told in the same fascinating way on the stage that Mr. Barrie told it in the opera house. It bubbling over with mischief and fun, but with a true little heart, is its heroine, and the play presents her as if she had just stepped out of the house and picturesque characteristics of the Thrums elders and their associates are preserved in the mimic panorama of Scotch life, and "The Little Minister" is the veritable ordained young actress who is sentimental as "Lady Babbie" found him. The role of Lady Babbie will be assumed by Miss Frances Stevens, an actress of admitted talent and ability and will be supported by a strong cast of known plays: Horace Mitchell, W. C. Masson, Walter Crosby, Maud Gillebrant, Thomas Greene, R. B. Graham, Cecil Kingstone, Helen Lee, George Conway, C. Carlyle, Edward Mowrens, J. C. H. Hancock, Mary B. Henderson, Marie Williams and many others. THE IRON MAN'S STORY. Reminiscences by a Bridge Builder at Cornwall, Ont. "Do you remember the span over the South Channel at Cornwall, Ontario, in 1888?

"The proverbial fondness of ducks for water would lead one to presupose pose that of all the world the most destitute of ducks would be the Sahara Desert, and that if a stray "springtail" happened to drift into that region he would either vamoose or turn up his toes with briefest delay. Well, not at all," said a Frenchman, who was formerly a resident of Tunis, to the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "There are parts of the desert where ducks abound, flourish and multiply with every evidence of perfect satisfaction. The fowl is slightly different from any of the varieties we know in this country, but it has the same flat bill, extensive breast and web feet, showing that it was once a water bird, though now it scarcely finds enough to drink and has become too provident to waste and the precious fluid in ablutions, like the good Mussulmans of the country, the good prescribed bath in the sand, and the good beetle come in very handy as snowshoe or walk upon the deep yielding dust. It is claimed by an eminent French ornithologist that the Saharan ducks are the remains of a race of aquatic birds which frequented those seas when the present desert was a part of the Atlantic ocean."

Only a small proportion of the ivory annually exported from the Congo is taken directly from newly killed animals. Thus, during 1899, of the 29,985 tusks sold on the Antwerp marshal's alone came from freshly killed animals including 21,446 tusks being what the natives "dead ivory." For centuries the aforeigners have been collecting elephant tusks, which they considered as having little intrinsic value, but useful as articles of exchange. The Khartoum merchants were the first to discover these hidden reserves of ivory. Later traders rushed on to Katanga, where traders rushed on to Kataanga, and the traders of the Congo, with the result that the ivory trade soon became the principal industry of the country. CITY NICKNAMES. Fifty Given in Various Municipalities in This Country. For years Buffalo's claim to the name, Queen City of the Lakes, has been hotly contested by Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and even Duluth, but no one could lay claim to the Bison city, by which it has often been designated. It now adds another name to its list, which will probably not be disputed—the Rainbow city, in defence to the exposition. Chicago during the period of the World's Fair is known as the White city, in acknowledging the staff on its fair buildings, but the city invades the close of the fair, and it has severted to its former name, Garden city, although it is more frequently referred to as the Windy city. St Louis has, perhaps, the largest number of nicknames. It has been called the Iron city, the Mound city, the Beer city, the American Frankfort and the New Vienna. Years ago Rochester, N. Y., was entitled to the name Flour city, the count of its large flour mills, but the industry has long since followed the count of pre and gone west, and it can no longer claim that distinction. It is known, however, in these days as the Flower city, on account of the large nurseries surrounding it. Syracuse is known as the Salt city, although it is no longer the leader in that industry. Pittsburgh is the Smoky city, and Chinatown and Cleveland might lay claim to the name. Among the names which have longest associated with American cities is the Manhattan New York, Baked Been city, the Hub for Boston, Quaker city for Philadelphia, Monumental city for Baltimore, Crescent city for New Orleans, and City of the Golden Gate for San Francisco.—Mechanical Engineering.
