Lekls, an Afro-American minister of Freehold, N. J. will claim a reward from Congress claiming he saved the cities of Washington and Baltimore from capture during the Civil war. Lekls says he had to leave Baltimore because of his disclosures which placed his life in danger and that he had to leave valuable property. Lekls claims he was a waiter in the Fountain Hotel in 1863 and while in the discharge of his duties he overheard a conversation which revealed General Lee's plans to capture Washington and Baltimore. He reported to the authorities what he had heard and thereby defeated the plans. What a pity that United States Senator McLaurin did not accept the challenge of old ben tillman, who misrepresents the state of South Carolina in the United States senate, to resign with him on the spot last Monday. It certainly would have been quite a relief to the people of this country at least 50,000,000 of them to have gotten rid of the old blather skite. There is a chance that there'll be two political parties in Alabama. The Democrats are fighting among themselves and perhaps a combination of Populists, white Republicans and the few Afro-Americans who are not disfranchised, may be affected. The question of reducing Southern representation will be taken up early in the session of the present Congress. The Southerners may yet find that they have made a great mistake in disfranchising the Afro-American. Mrs. Felton, of Georgia, says the Southern women are very much opposed to the social equality of the Afro-American. With the Southern Caucasians of the male persuasion it's different. Is the Caucasian harlot who is admitted without question to the best seats of the Southern theater the social equal of the high society lady who occupies the adjacent seat? It is said that a movement is on foot in Indiana to organize the 20,000 Afro-American voters into a distinct party. This is a silly movement and is doomed to defeat. The Democrats in virginia stole 100,000 Afro-American votes in 1898. There are 146,000 voters of the race in the state, but the election officers were able to find only 46,000. There are 152,860 Afro-Americans of voting age in the State of South Carolina. The total Republican vote counted in 1898 was 2,299. Congress decides that the old Reed rules are good and "lets well enough alone." ATTENTION. The first number of the Reconstructive Review, "The Voice of the Carpet Bagger," has just been issued, is for sale by the Antichrist Publishing Company, 200 Pine Avenue, Chicago. The author, whose name is not yet made public, proposes to continue the work in a regular series. He is evidently familiar with the history of the Reconstruction period, and he has vented by Southern Democrats to blacken the character and destroy the influence of the loyal men, white and black, who tried to maintain the cause of the Civil War. The story of the South. The story of the bloody time when the Ku Klux and White League gained power by deliberate and systematic murder will be told in future issues. The high standard of civilization of the coast coasts is illustrated by the horrible where American citizens without trial, without proof, are shot or hung, or burned alive. Every friend of law and justice should read the Reconstruction Review. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL: Senator Cullom is receiving all kinds of encouragement in his effort to secure some sort of a fitting mention to Abraham Lincoln. What he wants is to have three to secure designs for the memorial. It is expected that the senate will give early and favorable consideration to his bill, which seeks to approver the bill and to name as commissioners Secretary of State Hay, and Secretary Warren, who is the committee on library, which is the standing committee which has to do with monumentals which are erected on government soil, and which is of particular interest in the memorial enterprise. He was private secretary to Lincoln SENATOR CULLOM. during war times. When Lincoln was elected Hay was a clerk and student in the law office of Senator Cullom. Nicoloy was in the office of the secretary of state. Lincoln took Hay and Nicoloy to Washington with It is Senator Cullom's idea to have a memorial to Lincoln which will rank with the Washington monument as one of the landmarks of the. capital city. He believes Lincoln will go down in history the country's greatest men, and second only to Washington. He believes the memorial should be created with a view only to getting the finest thing in his artistic way that can be had, recordable. Speaking of his Lincoln memorial bill, Senator Cullom said. "I have long had the matter in mind, but things have continued to come up to engross the attention of the country and of me. First it was the Spaniard, and then it was something else. Now it is time has come when the country will be glad to take an interest in this subject. I am a little sorry it appears to the plans of the McKinley memorial, enterprise, think there will be any conflict between the two. This is a matter of congress, and it will not interfere with the plans erect a memorial at Calcutta or at the proposed bridge over the Potomac. Nor do I think it will clash with the plans of certain Washington people to erect an arch at the entrance of the proposed bridge over the Potomac. I think the properity of that method of perpetuating the memory of the McKinley, but I have no objection if they like it."

Little Rock—I hope the readers will pardon me for not writing for several days, and now I have dipped my pen in a new bottle of ink and will be able to send them a letter each week now. I have been a little excited too, for I have been traveling on the iron horse and that fellow has been so naughty that I thought every minute would be the last and I would be hurled into eternity. I have traveled a few miles, and I am now in the Southland which will be my theme for several weeks to come. I believe in my soul that the future of our people is in the South, though down here they hang men without trial, they burn them to death, yet I am of the opinion that there is a bright day coming, and we will be able to stand when it comes. The colored people down here are getting homes, in business and educating their children in school, and the necessity them in the educational world, so listen until I can have my say about them.

Now I have passed forty and it is too late for me to bother about education, and will discuss things as I see them in order to let our young know that they must prepare for the duties of life and not fool around. Now come let us reason together. This is one of the educational centers of this section of the country. I have been in the schools and meet the people in business, and I felt much encouraged. I have seen the stars in the East and in other parts of the globe. The Arkansas to College was among the first to claim the position of the head of it is Prof. Joseph A. Barker of this state and a young man who has worked his way to the front. I am proud to tell you that Prof. Joseph A. Barker worked in this town. I heard the child Greek, Hebrew and Latin, and I never heard such funny words since I have been a black man, and I have asked myself the question whether or not I have not been in college like that for. I have not been in college is located at the junction of two street car tracks, and the property, covering a whole block, is considered valuable. I do not remember the teachers, so I will move down to the next school and acquaint you with it. Philander Smith College is an institution of the M. E. Church, and of James M. Fox, another member of the institution, is at the institution, but they have mixed teachers. They have over 350 boys and girls of our race in the, institution. They have over 350 girls you have good buildings and which actually on the car line the property is valuable. Dr. Thomas H. Jackson is the head of Shorter College, which is a private school. You know him for he is one of the leading educators of the country. This institution is one of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and is doing fine work. Dr. Jackson has been in I have been for many years. I have been of meeting some of the Methodist preachers down here, they are big and small and I have met Dr. John T. Jenifer, from Baltimore. Dr. Jenifer looks like a man and he travels with the white folks. Bishop Tyree and a lot of preachers the other day and rode with the white folks and there was nothing said about it, but some of the preachers are raised in the church and they will meet him at General Conference. I do not approve of any such course and hope that they will not do what they say that they are going to do. I will do to conference to attend it at Gudron, where I will meet the white man, deliver an address of welcome. He said: "It is the duty of the white folks to make all the laws and execute them, and explain them to people, and it is the duty of the white people to obey the laws and not mistreat the colored folks." Bishop Tyree, who is as black as the ace of spades, turned right pale and red in face before replying to the adress. He did not bite his tongue, but talked right out in church, and they had an old Aunt Dolly Time" down the aisle, as a hog," retorted Bishop Tyree, "should make the laws, who should be president of the United States and the lake, he would very quickly reply a hog; hence I do not blame you when you are giving you must not blame you for thinking We do not think that the making and execution of law should be entirely in our hands, for we are broad enough to give you a hand in it, and we insist that you pay our taxes, and we must have a hand in law-making. Pity me not because my father was a slave, or because I am black. I possess the stuff of which manhood is made and I am made a place in the world. Keep out of the way of the wheel of progress."

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 be a love for aspirations. The author is evidently the earnest and a great moral purpose is kept constantly in view. It is meant to show the injustice of the dual standard of morality. The subject although treated with force and ture is delicately handled. In a musterly way it is not just the result of the secret duty of every married woman to demand the absolute right to her own person in wedlock. Price 1.50 postpaid.

While the present with surprising vividness typical seen and explained, it was that are of the very spirit of history. The book is mostly made up of personal stories and sketches that are outlined and colored with admirable artistic skill and charming illustrations. The volume is one which properly belongs to literature. For one thing, it is doubtful if anywhere else the gorgeous Nero Gabrieli has written over, the always dignified, kindly and sympathetic, warrior of commendation. There is an indulgence of pathos, of pathos, of George W. Cable writes to Mrs Merick; "I want to say to you that you are the first southerner who has expressed feelings for the world."

"The True Thomas Jefferson," by William E. Curtis, Philadelphia, J. B. Lipincott Company, $2.00. Mr. Curtis widely wrote, "I have a great interest in this book to present only that matter which will most interest the good people of the United States." One is given an insight into the development of personal life of Jefferson and while it is in the real world contribution to political history. It is also a very clear book. The following excerpts will give an idea of the style as well as some suggestions regarding Jefferson's personal character: "Bacon says that Jefferson always knew all about everything on the plantation. He was dead or needed nursing, just when one was dead or needed nursing. He even told Bacon what pigs to kill, for he had names for them all." His habits were regular and systematic. He is a good man as his time, rose always at dawn wrote and had until breakfast breakfasted early, and dined from 3 to 4, retired at 9 and to bed from 10 to 11. He was just as ill as he was last night. He always made his own fire. He always made his own fire. He drank one a day a single glass, when he returned from his side. He are nearly, and 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 man 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 as skillful as the other. It would have been impossible for him to have carried on his extensive correspondence without being able to relieve his right hand at intervals." ```markdown ``` AIMS AND METHODS The aim of this school is to do practical work, helping men toward success in the ministry, broad and practical; its ideas are high; methods are fresh, systematic, clear and easy.

Longdon and Eric Hudson, introducing Miss Agnes Herndon and a strong company, is the announcement made by the management for the attraction next week. As a rule the proprietors of the play represent it to be all that it really is when making the introduction, and quite frequently the patron is disappointed by the adjectives used, but such is not the case with "Man's Enemy." It is a first-class, thrilling and sensational melodrama—all that is claimed for it and more, too. The play teaches a strong moral, and if always played by as good a company of actors as supports Miss Herndon there will be few empty seats before any stage on which it appears. The story is well developed, and deals with the temptation that beset the wealthy youth of London and the retri- bution that follows the yielding to the same. The production is very elaborate, the scenes are all new, not a bit overdrawn and are the work of an artist of ability. Mr. Andruss, acting as Harry Stanton, the wayward son of Gen. Arthur Stanton, brought him many calls. His struggles to overcome the temptation of strong drink and to free himself from the clutches of the designing Sarah Drake, alias Banks, a pretty woman of the town, and Tom Drake; his duel with Count Lanski, resulting in the death of the latter, and hand-to-hand incidents of the Drake, are all well-done audiences. Mr. Drake that thrill the entire audience. Mr. Drake is a good actor. 'Miss Agnes Herman,' Sarah Drake is perfect natural, and that has been said her ability as an actress is well described. Mr. W.

There is nothing wanting in his part, as he accurately illustrates the actions of a designing sport, who is always on the lookout for big game. Shad Thine, who is killed by Harry Stanton while he is the Russian masseuse, and then reappears in the play as P. C. Smithers, a metropolitan policeman, deserves merit for his work. The humor of the production is nearly all left to Isaac Barnett, the Hebrew who will "never neglect an opportunity."

THE "WORLD'S FAIRCITY" VIEWED BY THE APPEAL MAN. 4 Compilation of a Number of Happenings, Social and Otherwise, Among the Afro-Americans of the Second City of This Glorious Union. Miss Daisy Clalg, Dearborn and Thirty-eighth streets, is now sick at Provident hospital. It is rumored that the Young Ladies' Culture Club will give another one of their grand parties in January. Miss Lovie Barker, after spending a delightful summer with friends in Cairo, Ill., has returned to the city. Hon. Cyrus Field Adams, Assistant Register of the Treasury, is quite sick at his Washington residence. THE APPEAL is without question the best advertising medium through which to reach the Afro-Americans of Chicago. Genial Arthur Wells, overflowing with a new lot of stories has just returned from New York and is mixing with the boys. Mr. Frank McClendon of Helena, Ark. is at Provident Hospital. He came here to undergo an operation for partial paralysis. Mr. Daniel M. Jackson, the State street undertaker, spent several days last week with friends hunting in the southern part of the state. Subscribers for THE APPEAL who wish to discontinue the paper must send written notice to the office, properly dated and signed. Mr. James H. Porter, of the Old Folks' Home, is doing all in his power to make the coming county fair for the benefit of the Home a great success. James A. Scott, attorney-at-law, can be found at THE APPEAL office during business hours. Prompt attention given all legal business entrusted to The Dan Johnson-Bob Taylor "dog" case was continued from Tuesday until next Monday. Look out then for the battle royal between the legal giants. Dane Rumor has it that R. A. J. Shaw, of the city water department, will soon become a benedict. Who the fortunate young lady is deponent saith not. THE APPEAL has fixed advertising rates, and will not cut them in order to secure advertising. However, if you want to reach the people, advertise in THE APPEAL. Do you want to preach? Learn at home.

Wine rooms, run in connection with saloons, are to be a thing of the past in Chicago. They have been abolished by the city council in deference to the demand of the better class of citizens. Mr. Noah Thompson is again at his desk in the U. S. express office, after an absence of several weeks, caused by his trip to Baltimore and his subsequent marriage. He now appears perfectly happy.

Mr. Caldwell is the son of the late Senator Caldwell of that state, who lost his life several years ago in a riot near Clinton. Mr. N. A.

Mr. Harbin is prominently mentioned as the Afro-American candidate for county commissioner on the Republican ticket next year. Mr. J. E. Bish. the assistant chief smoke inspector for Chicago, is kept constantly busy locating violators of the city's smoke ordinance. His success along this line has caused him to be regarded by the department as a most efficient officer, always ready to discharge his duty. Mr. Bish is a credit to the race. The concert given at First Regiment Armory Monday night by the Eighth Regiment band was a grand success. Prof. Armant deserves great credit for getting together such a fine body of musicians. The grand march, led by Prof. Hall and Miss Lovie Barber, contained at least 500 couples. There were many prominent society people present. The Olivet Baptist church, under the leadership of the Rev. J. F. Thomas, will, on the 1st day of January next, be entirely free of debt.

Thomas and his faithful members for their splendid work.
