It was the metropolis of Martinique, famous for its marvelous landscapes, its beautiful women, and historically noted as the birthplace of the Englishman James Cook, who is uncommonly free from the hurricanes that annually devastate some portion of the Antilles, Martinique has suffered from disastrous earthquakes. But never before has calamity been wrought by the volcanoes to which the island owes its origin. Martinique, among the best known of the French colonies, occupies a West Indian island in the chain of the Lesser Antilles, in the Rio Grande, thirty-three miles south of the British island of Dominica, and twenty-nine miles north of St. Lucia, another English possession. It was Columbus himself that discovered the island, inhabited by its Carib inhabitants, Matteiana Magdiana, corrupted by the later French settlers into Martinique. The greatest length of the island is forty-three miles, its average width nine-metre miles, its area is 244,000 acres or 380 square miles. Land of Ghosts. So beautiful topographically is this Carribean treasure that it has been called "Le Pays des Revenants," the land of the ghosts, where nature holds the wanderers. Magnificent Martinique rises from the blue waters, not as a single volcanic cone, but in three groups of rugged peaks, all clothed in rich verdure even to the summa of volcanic rock. The volcano to whose surprising and deadly activity is due the late disaster. The moist atmosphere of the island, the mild, equable temperature, ranging from 78 to 82 degrees, creates a balmy climate, of which the heat is moderated by sea breezes and fresh winds from the mountains. To the same unvarying abundance of heat and moisture are due the famous forests of the island, which are thus described by br. Ruz: "Only the sea can afford us any term of comparison for the attempt to describe a grand bols (great forest); but even then we must imagine the sea on a day of storm, suddenly immobilized in the exertion of the sea, summits of these vast woods repeat all the inequalities of the land they cover; and these inequalities are mountains from forty-two to forty-eight hundred feet in height, and valleys of corresponding protrusions. Together, together, smoothed over by verdure, in soft and enormous undulations, in immense billowings of foliage. Only, instead of a blue line at the horizon, you have a green line; instead of flashes of green, you have flashings of green, and in all the tints, of which green is capable-deep green, light green, yellow-green, black-green. (Horror lurks within the trees.) The indigenous flora of the island includes the silk cotton tree, several species of mahogany and the impenetrable calcea or ivywood. The other plant products are as numerous as those of equitorial South America, and are of much the same character. Creatures that creep and crawl swarm in Martinique.

History of Martinique. history of Martinique. Sold to the French government for 120,000 francs, Duparquet, the first captain general, Martinique was assigned to the West India company, but in 1674 became part of the royal domain. The island has several times been captured by Admiral Rangling. It was captured by Admiral Rangling in 1752 and restored to the French the following year. But after the conquest by Sir John Jervis and Sir Charles Grey in 1794, Martinique was retained in possession of the island. Seized a third time in 1800, the island was not given back to France until 1814. Since 1866 the colony has legislated for its as to duties and public works. The government, a private council, held governors and a colonial council of thirty members elected for five years. The judiciary includes a supreme court, two intermediate and inferior courts. Political freedom and liberty are maintained, made the inhabitants content with their governors and thoroughly devoted to the mother country. Furthermore, the island is represented in the French chambers by the French government, and the colonial government is about $800,000 annually. From an industrial and commercial standpoint Martinique is among the Most Favored of the Antilles. The staple product of the island is sugar, the 100,000 acres, or one-fifth of the whole area. Hence the exports consist largely of sugar and rum. The annual value of the sugar is nearly $4,000,000. A little cacao also is cultivated has been well night abandoned. The so-called "Martinique coffee", of commerce grown in Guadeloupe. About one-third of the cacao is cultivated in cipal productions, besides sugar, being, cotton, cassia, bananas indigo, maize and ginger. The manufacturers possess considerable knowledge for the preparation of indigo, more than 100 for manufacturing sugar, cocoa, and cassia as well as dye and cabinet woods. In addition there are potteries, with the foreign trade is carried with half the foreign trade is carried on France and her colonies. Imports and exports each exceed $3,000,000, but though the island is dependent on the United States for supplies, it sends almost nothing in return. Laborers in Martinique receive from 15 to 10 cents a day, so cheap is the cost of living in that latitude. House servants earn from $1.20 to $2.9 a month; mechanics, 76 to 95 cents a day; and bookkeepers from $43 to $55 a month. Skilled labor therefore commands a greater relative premium than in the United States. The women, it is said, do most of the hard work. Toll and not athletics produces that gallant land, the perfect physical woman. An excellent system of highways has reduced the difficulty of traveling across the rugged island. A short railroad has been built, but most of the transportation is entrusted to small coasting vessels. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

Address, THE, APPEAL, 90 East 4th St., St. Paul, Minn. SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1902- The St. Paul Globe on last Monday made quite a kick against the coming of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry which is to be stationed at Port Snelling this fall, because the members are Afro-Americans. The Salt Lake Tribune said of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, after it had been at Fort Douglas one year, that when it was first ordered there it was opposed to its coming, but after a year's service it had proved to be one of the best regiments ever serving at Douglas. When it returned from Cuba the citizens asked for its return. The following is quoted from a report of their reception, October 1st, taken from the Salt Lake Herald: "The gallant Twenty-fourth is home. The coming of the soldiers was the occasion for demonstrations of joy, mingled with sorrow-gratification that so many of the heroes of the war had safely returned, and regret because Captain Dodge, Lieutenant Augustin, Lieutenant Gurney and several more of their comrades-in-arms had sacrificed their lives to the cause of liberty and Cuban independence. At the fort the brave fellows were THE VILLAGE feasted and waited upon by fair and gentle ladies." Among the inscriptions on banners were the following: "The ocean and the battle gave you back. We give you hearty greeting." "Heroes alike in battle and pestilence. You are most welcome." "You have quit yourselves like men Welcome." "You have fought a good fight. You exalted your race, welcome." We are inclined to the belief that the good citizens of the Saintly City need not fear that their city will be gallanized by the proximity of the gallant Twenty-fourth. of his color, because he contend to the "social functic office. What on earth are functions of the office of collector? The President pointed an old friend, John Receiver of Public Money Rock, Ark., which also greatly. That speech is silver, b gold, was a lesson which wood, of Decatur, Tenn., die he was arrested on the chrysing a pistol. He openly having killed two men and tended to kill two more A bill providing a penalty of a maximum fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for not to exceed two years against common carriers, such as traction companies, railroad companies, or other transportation companies, in the District of Columbia who shall discriminate on account of race or color in the matter of accommodations furnished passengers, has been introduced in the House by Representative Mondell, of Wyoming. The House committee on commerce was the other day appealed to by a delegation of Afro-Americans to favorably consider an amendment to the interstate commerce law which they presented making it an offense punishable with a fine of not less than $500 or more than $5,000 for railway companies to discriminate in the matter of car accommodations on account of race or color. The delegation consisted of ex-Representative George H. White, of North Carolina; Cyrus Field Adams, assistant registrar of the treasury; Rev. Dr. Walter Brooks and Jesse Lawson, of Washington. The argument presented was that it was against the fundamental principles of a republic to allow discriminations among its people, and that the "jim crow" cars which were indorsed by the laws of several southern states were discriminations which were humiliating and offensive to the Afro-Americans. President Roosevelt will commend himself to the Afro-American people by his reappointment of John H. Deveaux as collector of customs at Savannah, Ga. A few Southern Caucasians made a bitter fight on Deveaux, which was based wholly on his color. His management of the office is rated high at the Treasury Department. A few members of the Savannah Board of Trade held a meeting and telegraphed the President that Deveaux should not be reappointed on account THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPIEER of his color, because he could not attend to the "social functions" of the office. What on earth are the social functions of the office of a customs collector? The President has also appointed an old friend, John Bush, as Receiver of Public Moneys at Little Rock, Ark., which also pleases us greatly. That speech is silver, but silence gold, was a lesson which Jim Underwood, of Decatur, Tenn., did not learn. He was arrested on the charge of carrying a pistol. He openly boasted of having killed two men and said he intended to kill two more prominent citizens at the first opportunity so to prevent the opportunity ever occurring a mob went to the jail and took the foolish boaster*out and lynched him. It is hardly worth while to state Underwood was an Afro-American. The New York Evening Journal a few days ago in discussing the "vexed Problem," said: "The chief trouble with the Negro is there is no rebellion in him. He lacks the vital force of dissatisfaction. Eternal dissatisfaction, the everlasting assertion of the fundamental idea, "I am as good as you; or, if I am not, my child shall be as good," must guarantee the permanency of republican institutions. Is the Journal right or wrong? The appalling disaster which overtook the island of Martinique by which 40,000 lives were lost within the space of five minutes is too terrible to contemplate. We cannot find words to express our feelings. It was simply awful. We give a good description of the island before the disaster on our first page. One thing that especially appeals to us is the fact that the majority of the dead are of the colored races. The interstate commerce commission has just awarded a man $200 damages resulting from unjust discrimination in furnishing cars for carrying freight. The Southern railroads which discriminate in accommodations furnished white and black patrons should be made to suffer. Surely the transportation of human beings is as important as carrying cattle, hogs and other stock. Elijah Bledsoe, an Afro-American living near Burgin, Ky., is believed to be the oldest man in America. There seems to be good ground for believing that he is over 120 years old. He is known to have been married thirteen times, and something like half a hum- dred of his children are scattered over the state. He certainly carried out the Biblical injunction: "Be fruitful and multiply." The "manly art of self-defense" is considered to be a good thing for a man to know, and it seems that Joe Gans, of Baltimore, an Afro-American, knows something about it, as on last Monday night he won the light-weight championship of the world by defeating Frank Erne in one round at Fort Erie, Ont. We salute you, Champion Gans. The largest gift which Tuskegee institute has ever received from an Afro-American we recently received from Robert N. Baptist, of Galway, N. H., who sent a check for $1,000 to Principal Booker T. Washington to found a permanent scholarship at the school. Baptist was formerly a slave in Virginia. This must be very gratifying to Mr. Washington. Since 1896 more than 500 children have been named after Senator Hanna. The name of Marcus will not soon die out. After much negotiation between the two during which the second and youngest of them married to Josephine, her father carried her to Istanbul in 1770. She was already described to her by the man she was possessing as a fine complexion, beautiful eyes, a sweet voice and a remarkable handsome and muscular appearance for her age. The 18th of December following she was named to her parents, but who she had two children, England, and France. She left her husband nine years later, and to her parents, but was persuaded to marry her, England. The mournful was educated a few years by order of the convention, and Josephine was sent to Stratts until she managed to secure留居 from Martinique. She was living in the city, "at les rues, when she paid her first visit. Not until she was restoring to her her husband's sword, that she was at once drawn to her on the 8th of December. From the motives of imperialism that fill so large a portion of his history, she was made the mother of pathetic divorces. Yet she reshelled her affection for the emperor until her death from the emperor made her son Eugene viceroy of France and bengen and elegat of Eichstadt. Her daughter, Hortense married the emperor's sister, and was fated to extend the glories of her and was fated to extend the glories of the martinique convent girl by becoming the martinique convent girl by becoming the French emperors. **Description of St. Pierre.** The metropolis of the island; St. Pierres, of whose name the world talks to-day, is situated on the western side of the island. The town was built on cliffs on the island. The town was built on cliffs on the island, however, that is nothing than a very slight curve in the shore of the roadstead. Saint Pierre town, with a pleasing creole population, naturally the town bore an aspect of great beauty. Hawn out of one mountain fragment instead of being constructed stone by stone, the other by other public buildings of importance, although they are usually but two stories and an attic. A handsome many fountains, other public buildings of importance, were many fountains that supplied drinking water from another source than that of the town. Special interest was taken by tourists in the splendid candle of bells ringing out of the various fine images and statues about the town. One of the statues was a glittering ear of a sea creature easily visible from the sea. A tall Virgil surmounted the area "Orange to the southern or Saint Pierre, and our Mount of the Watch, kept guard above the market. The market of the town was pictureque. It was in the middle of a square surrounding a fountain, and was filled with oranges, bananas, vanilla beans, cocos, while the fishermen lifted their nets and vowed to verten them into stalls. There could be seen a wonderful fish display and all the colors of the rainbow. Mount Pellee. The volcano that has destroyed this charming town and its 35,000 inhabitants, in as mentioned, Mount Pellee. The volcano that has destroyed this charming town and its 35,000 inhabitants, in as mentioned, Mount Pellee and crowns the northwest end of the island. The height of the mountain is 4,480 feet. Although many other peaks are visible, the volcano is not a volcanic volcano. Mount Pellee was in active eruption as late as 1851. This is the second of the four land leads from Saint Pierre to the village of Mon Rouge, two thousand feet above the sea. In the village is a shrine to the lion, which is surrounded by the shrine in the village Pierre. Along the road are seen many shrines and little chapels that smother crucifixes and statues with lamps burnt orange. It is by this road that the traveler arrived at the Jardin des Plantes of all botanical gardens. Although it has been some what neglected of recent years, the garden has aroused the ecstatic adoration of all nature lover. Says Lacaford Hearn: "The Jardin des Plantes is not absolete; for the trigonocephalus goes everywhere, mounting to the very summits of ascending walls, hiding in palmate-thached roofs, breeding in bagnac-heaps. But, for the trigonocephalus, this trappist roilettes man and hates light: it rarely shows itself voluntarily during the day. Therefore, if you desire to build a high garden can do so, sitting Jardin des Plantes in your eyes, or use your eyes well while climbing over fallen trees or picking your way around the garden, you will be utilized in the formation of it in the greater part of the garden is a primitive growth. Nature has accomplished it (though such art has done much to land the place its charm), and within until a might have been deemed, without exaggeration, one of the wonders of the world.

Ee ee ee eee Mey Paw, Much interest is attached to the forthcoming production of “The Vol- unter Organist,” which wil be seen at the Grand Opera House next week, and close the regular season at that playhouse. The play is of the pas- foral order, and is an idyll in its way. ‘The story of the drama is simple, and is blended with genuine comedy and exceptional pathos. Advance criti clsms of the show speak in glowing terms of the cast and scenic effects. ‘There is not a dull moment through: out the play, and the plot is never per- mitted to lag. Tt might be likened to several other well-known plays of the Pastoral sort in the quaintness of the character presented and in the real- ism of its reproduction of phases of tural life, but it differs from the usual run in some ways also. Tt is without such time-worn melodramatic ele- ments as a deep-dyed villain, a perse- cuted heroine,.an old will and a mur. der; and furthermore, it is construct: ed out of a popular ‘song instead of out of @ popular novel. ‘The story it tells is of every-day people in a New SAU etbeaeit evo ee ! a KONG es Eas a i epee ea) ae a England hilltown, with the common touches of sentiment and humor, and the sermon it preaches is the good old sermon on temperance in physical in- aulgence and liberality in religion. ‘The danger in alcoholic intoxicants, the wickedness of hypocrisy and the saving grace of sincere religious pro- fessions and strictly moral conduct are all properly shown. Among the special features are the singing of popular favorites like “The Holy City." with special scenic effects by Master Johnnie Nelson, a boy s0- prano, and the introduction of two handsome St. Bernard dogs in.a life- saving act. Four distinct, massive sets of scenery are carried by the company, together with every electri- cal device known that could possibly enhance beauty of the piece. Besides a force of stage carpenters and elec: tricians with the company, it is al- ways necessary to -greatly augment the regular working force at the thea- tres where “The Volunteer Organist” plays to facilitate the handling of the scenery and properties the drama alls for.

For the Southern Born man, by Sidney Or mond. The first visit of a southern-born man to Booker Washington's institute at Tuskegee will constitute a revelation, no matter how closely he may have heard of Washington, he may have read of Washington's work. The most detailed descriptions of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute and the work being done there are few, and the things, inadequate. From long contact and association, the southern man has formed a very just and complete estimate of the Negro as he is. Of his own experience, the national environment, he is not fully aware. The white man is familiar, of course, with the sporadic examples of black men who have, through force of the rank and file of their race; but of the high average of intelligence, industry and activity which may be attained by the masses, he has but aague conceived, the exceptional environment, its manifest results, is manifest at Tuskegee. This point—that of an exceptional environment and influence—must be constantly borne in mind when Washougal's work at Tuskegee is considered. Through the medium of magazine articles written by northern men, I had read much of Booker Washington and his school in the "black belt" of Alabama. This reading had inspired me with a great admiration for the man. At the same time, I was inclined to make large allowances for, and to modify the northern point of view as to actual results. I had no idea that Washington's creation so nearly approximated the high ideal of its creator—that the achievement of the man. I was surprised as every southern-born man is surprised, who visits Tuskegee for the first time. Separated from the town of Tuskegee proper, the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial school is, to all appearances, a town to itself—a town of one, 1,500 acres. The town is so termed the mayor of this town—a mayor whose authority is practically unlimited and whose word is law. His duties are multitudinous. He is the mayor, the comptroller, the commissioner of public works, the head of the sanitary department, the president of the board of health and the moral head of the corps of some 160 instructors—all Negroes—under him, but he is the final court of appeals. His responsibilities are in proportion to his power. His THE APPEARANCE NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER $2.95 - Youths' Long Pant Suits. The greatest concessions ever made in our Boys' Department.

Special this week only. 10c is the vitalizing and sustaining influence that has made Tuskegee. The real measure of the man is manifest in the spirit he has inspired into his actions and the community as a whole. In this community are some 1,200 males and females who are being equipped for the duties of life. They come from all classes and conditions in an inbject poverty, without the means to pay the small tuition which is charged. The most uppromising are soon whipped into condition. Each is gifted with a trade, taught a trade, taught a trade. All are inculcated with ideas of morality, thought, cleanliness, industry and discipline. No false ideas are preached. The dominant note which one hears from morality is the average student, coming from the most poverty-streaking surroundings, soon catches the spirit of Tuskegee, and in the brief space of a few months a wonderful transformation takes place, the habits of a life-time are reversed. The result of all this is an ideal Negro community. The expression "an ideal Negro community" will give but a vague idea to the average southern woman. The Negro community and studied the work of many colleges. I have never seen one which approximates Tuskegee in many respects. During two days spent at Tuskegee I learned the history of the Negro I never heard the suggestion of profanity, did not detect the semblance of immorality, and the boisterousness and disorder which one instinctively associates with the Negro. I never heard the need for neatness, self-respect and absolute politeness prevailed everywhere. These Negroes had been educated in the broadest and best sense. All sides of them had been developed and the best part of them was the suggestion of a superficial veneer which temporarily hides all the original crudities. The visit was, as I said in the beginning, a revelation. The man in store for any southern man who will take the trouble to visit Tuskegee. It will be urged that Tuskegee is an exceptional case and that one can form no idea of the net result of Negro industrial education from this isolated state of Alabama, the state of Alabama the results of the Tuskegee spirit are becoming manifest everywhere. Similar schools, on a small scale, founded by Tuskegee graduates, are springing up in many sections, all of these schools are annually turning out carpenters, are making better carpenters, better blacksmiths, better cooks, nurses, brick masons, farmers, and better men and women. The South owes Booker Washington a great deal of his rank and file of his race will follow his ideas, the race question will eventually become a thing of the past.

LOST ARM, BUT SAVED HIS LIFE Terrible Experience of Man Who Fell as He Left a Train Oscar Wensole, who was recently seriously injured by a Burlington train, is rapidly improving at St. Francis' hospital. The story of the accident, as told by the injured young man, is that he attempted to jump, intending to alight upon his left foot. He slipped, and was forced to extend his right foot, which when it struck the ground, threw him directly toward the train. In attempting to catch at something his arm fell across the rail, and his position was such that it was impossible for him to move without meeting instant death. Thus, with the full realization of what was transpiring, he was forced to lie perfectly still and endure having eight sets of wheels pass over and grind off his arm. Besides the first pinching sensation, there was no great pain. If he had attempted to move out of the way he would have been crushed upon the head by the overhanging steps of the rushing they rushed over him, or possibly the It was all done so quickly that there was all but a fraction of a second to decide between the loss of an arm and the retention of life and an attempt to save the arm and probable death. He chose the former. In a dim way he saw a receding light and finally realized what it all meant; he realized that no longer possessed a right. He struggled upon the elbow of his remaining arm and managed to reach his home—La Crose Chronicle. ECONOMY CARRIED TO EXTREMES Why the Servant Girl Left the Home-stead of the Greens. Hetty Green has achieved a reputation for parsimony, but he husband was not far behind her. At one time they were living in New Hampshire and were the talk of the town. The two boys who lived there had a great deal to learn, and finally left when Mr. Green would not have the wood, cut. She says that the pieces of wood were too long to put into the stove, and she objected. The wood came in four-foot sticks, and Mr. Green declared it was a waste of it. He would hire a man to chop it up, "Well, hire me," he says. Then they won't go into the stove" inquired the servant girl. "I'll show you," said Mr. Green. Then he showed a four-foot stick as far into the stove as it would go and rested the end on a chair-back. As the stick burned down he shoved it a little further into the stove, until it was too hot. The servant girl gave notice at once. —New York Press. THOUGHTS OF GREAT MEN. The secret of success is constancy to purpose.-Disraeli.
