THE VOL.18.NO.21 A "W HO invented dancing?" asked an enthusiastic young society bud re- ceent. Why-er. I don't the French, didn't they?" replied her part- "Certainly not! Dancing is mentioned in the Bible, long before France was ever "Oh, of course, I know that; but I sup- port the waltz and all that sort of thing." "Well, yes; but did the French invent the waits?" "Now, come to think of it, it is of German origin, isn't it? Didn't the French take it from them during the revolution? I must confess I don't know; but my curiosity is plumed and I'm going to look it up." The love of dancing is inherent in human nature. "From the first formation of societies, says Rousseau, 'song and dance are the childish forms of life, became the amusement, or rather the occupation, of idle assemblies of men and women. It is allled to poetry and music. It is allled to the amusement, or rather the untapping tapping of the feet and the skipping about or clapping of hands by chilly under the inspiration of lovely strut, the joy of an instinctive desire on the part of the physical being to respond to the stimulation of the mental. While the rude experimentation of the same impulse, the cruder form of the same impulse, the rhythmic postures which reflect the sweet and caressing sensations of the art as we live is part of the inheritance of civilization. Dancing in Early Ages. **Peach Romanas.** The Romans, in all their arts, borrowed their Greeks in all their arts, borrowed their dances just as they adored their gods, although Greeks were in their splendor. But the arts of Greece soon degenerated after the dances of Greece, the venerable mysteries, the flowers and balmy sunshine of returning spring became unrecognizable as pretexts for every kind of license. The theatrical dancing, however, attained extraordinary perfection among the Romans, as the theatrical dance to the Greeks, had its birth among their rivals. Over centuries of folly, which brought about the downfall of the great races, the art of dancing disappeared. It re-emerged, during the time of the Christian church, in the form of a religious rite, although these in turn degenerated and served as pretexts for After the darkness of the Middle Ages under the under the impulse of the Medieval, that awakened the literature and the arts and sciences of ancient Greece and Rome and with it the arts of the twentieth century it flourished at every point. Under the patronage of the emperor of IV, it took on a peculiarly French character. It had followed the great Catharism of the twentieth century as a feature of all the festivities she organized with so much splendor. But the 321 321 ciocakes and heavy swords of the knights and the long robes of the ladies gave way to a liveliness, an animation and a certain influences. This influence not only added splendor to court functions, but spread a taste for dancing throughout France. The queen moreover organized allegorical ballets, thus laying the foundations of figura. Great Impulse to Act. We come now to that great century where all the arts burst forth with dazzling blossoms, when everything seemed alive and vibrant, and when the pulse. Hitherto the theater had ministered only to the amusement of the court, now opposing its doors to the populace and populating Women made their first appearance on the stage. Louis XIV, founded the Academy of Dancing, and, anxious to give a chance to his himself took part in the court 'ballets'. Novette, the famous ballet master, made an attempt to perpetuate the most successful although he failed to arouse much interest in the subject. The Egyptians, it is said, had already made the use of neregypithe to indicate dances. Under Louis XIV, the dancer Benauchamp gave a new form of notation, of which he was declared the inventor by a parliamentary decree. In a treatise on the art of dancing, published in Paris about 1713 by Feuillet and which dancing is represented by means of engraved characters. They look like forms of the human body, a book of magic, Lips perplexing, horizontal, oblique, complicated curves, odd combinations of strokes somewhat abbr. to Arabic characters, musical notation, over the page, represented the movements of the dancing feet with the most logical rhythms. The dances of the eighteenth century had a charm all their own. With their supple and rhythmic grace they surrounded a woman, with an atmosphere of beauty. An constellation of dancers, male and female, gave a dainty grace hitherto unseen. Dancing in Blood. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., SATURDAY.MAY 24, 1902. A misery, horror and alarm. Twenty-two women were open every evening immediately after the terror. Women attended them all during the attack, and sandaled feet and bared breasts and arms the Imperial College Art Reign. The emperor was the development of the art. But soldiers danced on the eve of battle, eager to formure the morrow, and a certain number of the nobles danced during the consulate of Bonaparte and the vein of Napoleon. After a feverish illness in Napoleon, after a feverish illness on the horizon of the world, two planes rose in the firmament of opera—Tagliolini and Panny Elsser. Other stars succeeded in the Tulleries were far from gay under Louis XVIII, and Charles X, but after Napoleon's famous volcano, Salvaydon's famous volcano, the pastime made its appearance again in the king's household in 1800. Evolution took place in dance at this period. The middle classes developed a passion for balls, which had been excluded to the aristocracy, save the festivals of country districts. Unable however, to enjoy the amusement in their society, the emperor took to public saloons and waited at Raneligh, at Beaujon, at Seaux and at Auberville. The same famous friend for their sundancer and the society requesting them, were imitated on the scale by the students of the Academy, and the chauathe at the Chauermer, the Prado, Mabille and the Closier des Lilis.

The polka was a form of the polka mana set in. Collarus and Labarce fostered the public enthusiasm. And all Parts lurgged gleefully when Levassor A Of its various forms, the ballet has ever been popular. It is a singular fact that the ballet is the first appearance under St. IV. in the cast of St. Angelo, where, towards the end of the 18th century, Riario, nephew of the holy pontif, composed ballets and had them performed at about the same time, though sacred ballets were more common in church. Cardinal Ximenes renatulated the mass of Mozartes, the author of the Mass of St. John the Baptist, to cathedral of Toledo. It was celebrated with dances in the nave itself, and that ballets were not the only form that ballets came into popular favor. cardinals not frequently had them proclaimed, and this common passion for the amusement so little in accord with their austere ideal. Brantone tells how Queen Elizabeth rebelled against the king. ```markdown ``` the Connetable de Montmorency at a supper, followed by a ballet danced by the ladies of the court.

Henry III. 75' Bullet Girl of these festivities at which Henry III often appeared in female dress, while the women donned masculine attire. Henry III. was not the only king who had a taste for masquerading. According These warnings of antiquity notwithstanding, Catherine diverted the attention of her son, from affairs of state, by a whirl of midnight gayeties, cunningly designed to mask her own dark schemes. In the midst of these festivities the virtue of St. Bartholomew was hatching, murder was plotted to the sounds of music, the victims were marked out among the dancers, and the executioners were chosen for the improvement of theatrical music, introducing Italian musicians and supporting her ballets by the most effective movements. During Lord Fife's connection with the Kingstereater in London, the ballet he directed, the prince and highest personages exhibited a strong personal interest in its success. it is related that when Eberes first met the ballet company, the ballet company at the King's theater the negotiations for the engagement of the British ambassador, who held conferences for this purpose with the Baron de la Rue, intendent of the Theater Royal in Paris. Some Brilliant Stars. Great reputations to say nothing of the many awards he has applied to lead the popular amusements, the theater and the opera. THE BARBER'S WORK tainments were of a novy or irrisory order, the name of Mind Candy, the company that produced the music which gained an equivocal celebrity in the-eighteenth century, is an instance of the notoriously which was easily made in the nineteenth century. It was known that she was connected with the opera and that she had comedied with her husband, made a considerable noise in the fashionable world as a singer under the name of "The Pomperator." Her taste and curiosity came proverbial. Carliate House in Soho square fell into her hands and was shortened to a pair of lar entertainments were surpassed by the lengths to which amusements were made. She went on building, and made her house a fairy palace, where balls and masquerades the most dazzling were the performances she drew the gilded youth and a large proportion of the elders, too. At first the house was unimaginable, and unguily were drawn to Carliate House. Queens of society and stage queens alike found a congenial theatre where younger generation and the reigning beauties whose fascinations were the topic of the times, were seen to the best of their minds, and the molds, Oliver Goldsmith and Dr. Johnson's protege, Boswell, with men of taste and fashion were frequently seen at Mime at Ranelghe and at Vauxhall gardens.

It was erected in 1171, uuringe use drains and craze for muses and queues and was knowledgeable about anything of its kind. Its opening was fixed for Jan. 22, 1772, and was marked by a large number of inscriptions and has been frequently treated pistorium- ly. The high-toned exclusiveness charac- tistics of Almacks was the aim of the work. The inscriptions were to be excluded, and to a committee of lady patronesses of the highest rank of these insignificant exercise of these indignious responsibilities. The rumors of the proposed exclusiveness gave great offense, when many fair world leaders were notorious and the real-world world were notorious able to distillations, and their connections with gallants in the ranks of the nobility and gentility extended to the artists. Not only were the all-fascinating demi-mondains, the Kitty Pashers, Nally O'Brien, Polly Kennedy, the Katherine, Nally O'Brien, Polly Kennedy, the sisterhood to be excluded, but it was nosed aboad that these irresistible actresses whose fame on the stage was outweighed by their real-world fame were to be debarred from the magic hall. It was known that two famous daughter of Thalia had secured tickets from their theater company, and they intended to present themselves—pretty Sophia Baddelye, then under a singing tutelain, and some Miss Abington, the accepted queen of comedy. The gilded youth vowed that, whoever was excluded from the Pandemonium should gain admittance on that memorable opening night. Twenty gentlemen met at Almack and bound themselves to eschew the street, and she arrived and was set down at the portico (which escaped the destructive fire) and is still standing in Oxford street), and Mrs. Baddelye the gentleman of the first rank. As Mrs. Baddelye attempted to enter the posse of the fire, but resisted, she crossed their staves, barring the engagement and civilly, but resolutely, explained that their own, but exclude playmen, they the prohibition in the least offensive manner, although had Mrs. Baddelye's profession been unexceptionable, her reputation been unexceptionable, have been a fatal stumbling block. An Archway of Swords The gallant escort of champion knights unsheathed their glittering weapons, and the sword's point sharply drove back. the constancies. Then mansing an arc the avenue, he avenue down which Mrs. Baddley passed proudly into the presence of all men, and the stern sternation of the obstruction managers, who found their stronghold carried by a coup de main and the enemy in possession. But the difficulty did not end here. The outraged "gentlemen" refused to sheath the camera until the managers came forward and humbly apologized to Mrs. Baddley and her secretary, when the managers and duchess of Ancestor stepped forward and duchess of Ancestor stepped forward and receive such an ornament to their assembly as Mrs. Baddley. A messenger was in readiness to inform Mrs. Abington, the governor of this adventure, and discreetly as without in readiness to receive the signal that Mrs. Baddley's charge at the head of the river now made her entree, and from that eventful night the difficult feat of attaining the graduation of frailty was practically reinforced as regarded the management of an advertisement by way of warning to the discomfited purists appeared in the papers that "as it was not convenient for the managers to marry their marriages about them, the subscribers were resolved, in opposition to the stern moralist, Dr. Johnson, was, with his attendant, the library club, found attendant the Parker's Without detracting in the least from Banelalgh or 'auchan gardens, both fashion houses and conducers there, it is necessary to pass on to Almack's the seven heaven of the remarkable conducers of the century ago.

It was useless to contain these fates, and although the husbands of these fathers were challenged by disappointed applauders, their exclusion as a personal insult, the exclusive legislature remained unmoved. It is related that a captain in the garrison of a fortress sent a clenched sending a ticker, sent a challenge to Lord Jersey, requesting that he would name a very dignified Lord Jersey revered in a very dignified Lord Jersey. "If all persons who did not receive tickle on his wife were to call him to account, he would have to account part he should have to make up his mind to become a target for young offenders, declined the honor of the proposed meeting." Origin of the Waltz. Though in high request from the court to the chateau in every capital, of Europe, the waltz was not introduced of the waltz into England. At Almack's the "mazy waltz" was imported there under the highest auspices, but it was reserved for an imperial guest to converse with the chateau, although its opportunity for decent客人, although its opportunity, the holder spirits. Almack's followed in the steps of the magnificent intocat of all the Russias, the wives of St. James being the most accomplished of the then exponents. The Countess de Catherine was assigned to the foremost waltzers of the day, and true to the traditions of foreign policy, Lord Palmerstown was no less exquisite. There was a running fire kept up by satirists and aggressive moralists against the "inlustid waltz", and the suggestive "mazy waltz", brought up in France, as its German, brought up in France, as its community, of the ultra-uprist section of the community, who had persuaded themselves that the introduction of the waltz in the national downward conclusive step on the traction, the waltz has surely become the grace and inspired by the emotions drawn from those beautiful melodies of when the waitz enjoys the preamble monopoly, this dance is likely to retain the "lancers and quadrilles, besides other "square sets," all have interesting his- tories, such as jig, Caledonian reels, and various dances.

The great number of suitcases which have occurred recently has caused Dr. David L. Kiehl, professor of pedagogy at the University of Minnesota to declare that: "The spirit of suicide is in the air, its contagion is just like that of measles or smallpox—the sentimental temperament, exposed to infection, takes it on and away goes the individual; good people and bad people alike. When that gratifies we call the victim crazy." We are gratified to learn the cause of the epidemic, but the learned professor does not prescribe a remedy. He says: "I know of no way to successfully combat the tendency. It will pass as others have passed before it." Well, thank Heaven for that! There was some cheering news which came from the centennial celebration of the Presbyterian Home Missions, which were in session in New York this week. The thirty-seventh annual report of the board of missions for freedmen was made, and it showed that more money was received during the past year than for any year of the past eight years.

C., in an address Monday made a stirring appeal for his race. He said the Presbyterian church was doing more for the Afro-American than all others combined. The annual May meetings of the six national Baptist societies were held in St. Paul this week, bringing together a large number of the people of the Baptist denomination throughout the country. Miss Elliott, of Richmond, Va., paid the Afro-Americans a pretty tribute in a speech she made in reference to them. She said: "I am sure there is no race whose hearts are more grateful for benefits given." There was a "race war" in Atlanta, Georgia a few days ago. Four Caucasians and three Afro-Americans were killed. If this proportion continues the "race war" will soon be a thing of the past. CALL FOR MEETING have just received notice from our Chief, A.

The ladies were handsomely gowned and the gentlemen were as gallant as need be. The music was excellent, and the whole affair was a credit to the organization. Miss L.

About fifty women, representing seven different women's clubs in the state, attended. Four clubs of St. Paul, two in Minneapolis and one of Duluth sent Megates. There are two other clubs in Minneapolis, where we were not represented last evening, and into the federation. These, in addition to other societies which are in process of organization, will compose the state federation. A constitution and by-laws were adopted. The constitution and rules of the state federation are modeled after those of the national organization from which a charter has been secured. Under the provisions of the constitution the newly organized federation will meet annually. The first state convention be held in St. Paul next month, the day not yet having been decided. The State Federation of Afro-American Womens' Clubs is formed for the purpose of uniting the various local clubs into a closer union, so that the societies may keep in touch with each other. It is also believed that with a central organization the work done by the individual clubs will be more systematic and perhaps productive of better results. The national federation meets biennially, and to which the state society will send accredited delegates representing the federated clubs as a whole, and not as individuals. The officers elected last evening were: President, Mrs. T. H. Lyles, St. Paul; vice president, Mrs. Lena Ragan, Minneapolis; second vice president, Mrs. Carrie Dunn, of St. Paul; third vice president, Mrs. Z. J. Johnson, Minneapolis; fourth vice president, Mrs. Laura Hickman, St. Paul; secretary, Miss M. B. Anderson, St. Mills; assistant secretary, Miss Bessie D. Parker, F. C. causer, Mrs. F. D.

GONE TO BEST The funeral of Mrs. Phil Reid was held at Pilgrim Baptist church, of which she was a member, Wednesday afternoon. There was a very large crowd of the friends of the deceased present to pay their last tribute of respect. The casket was the pattern of white embossed plush lined with white silk and was the handsomest that the city afforded. The deceased seemed to be asleep in a bed of flowers. The floral tributes were very numerous and very beautiful. The services were conducted by Rev. J. C. Anderson, and Rev. J. C. Anderson of St. James A. M. E. church. As the funeral cortege wended its way up the aisle the choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee." Rev. J. C. Anderson then read the 14th chapter of Job. Rev. J. F. Thomas offered a prayer, "leap in the water" to the choir. Rev. J. C. Anderson then made a few remarks and paid a glowing tribute to the Christian character of the deceased. Rev. Carter then preached THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Matters Social, Religious and General Which Have Happened and are to Happen Among the People of the City on the Falls. Don't forget the June concert at Bethesda. Mr. Charles Parker, of Chicago, was in the city Monday. Mr. Charles Tyler, well known about town, is sick at the hospital.

The much-talked-of summer stock season at the Grand Opera House will be inaugurated Sunday evening, May 25th, when the Percy Haswell Company, which has been the permanent winter attraction or thirty-five weeks in the summer, will make its debut in this part of the country. The Percy Haswell Company is headed by Miss Percy Haswell. well, a young woman with both brains and beauty, who served her noviate under that past master of stage careers, the late Augustin Daly. Graduating from his company after obtaining the highest possible honors, that of being understudy for Miss Ada Rehan being not the least of these Miss Haswell she became leading actress in H. Crawford's season seasons she remained with him, then served a year as leading lady with Otis Skinner, and then organized a company of her own, which has been alternating between Washington and Baltimore for two seasons. The entire company, intact, comes to St. Paul and Minneapolis for the summer, opening here and finishing the hot season, and the first play to be presented will be William Gillette's fine comedy, "Because She Loved Him So," which is without doubt one of the most refined and original comedies produced in years. Miss Haswell will appear as the young wife, Gertrude West. Other players in her company are George Fawcett she well known character actress; Isabelle Lloyd the author; Frank Glmore, the leading man, last season leading man with Mrs. Fiske; Frederick G. Lewis, Alfred Hudson, Lloyd Carleton, Austin Webb, Frank Craven, Regan Hughton, Alfred Hudson, Jr., and Alfred Smith, and the Misses Laura McGillvray, Alice Butler, Agnes Everett, Vilola Burton, Claria Irving and Maule Wilder.

Several hundred Elks are to march in the opening parade on June 2d. The following Wednesday is also to be Minnesota Day, when the Governor's Day is celebrated. The United Commercial Travelers' Day, Thursday, and Eagles' Day, Friday, are occasions that will attract many members of those organizations from all parts of the Norwest as well as this city. There is also an automobile flower parade, in which St. Paul churches will take part, together with each of the Norwest's Children's Day, of which the baby show is to be a feature, and an Elks' Day, besides one dedicated to fraternal organizations generally. The show, on its merits, however, is worth going to see regardless of special features. There is an attractive list of out of door spectacles, such as the "Cymbal sensation," "Loop the Loop," the "Cymbalzilla," from a height of 100 feet, a "Slide for Life," a balloon ascension and parachute leaps daily, trapeze and acrobatic performances, and a dozen or more Midway shows, which include the "Midway Theatre," the Moorish Palace and a nagerie of over 50 wild animals.

Hamm Brewing Co., of St. Paul, notwithstanding the excellent brews of beer that it now furnishes, has just put a new extra pale beer on the market that promises to surpass anything in the line of bottle beer. This new beer is called "Velvet." It is an extra pale beer, having a rich, agreeable hot flavor and just the right amount of malt strength to make it an ideal tonic beverage. This beer is guaranteed to be absolutely pure and wholesome and to be made of the very best selected malt and imported hops. Telephone the Big Home Brewery, main 935, for a case.

The biggest liar in the lot is the editor who publishes the obituary of these aforesaid liars and intimates that they have gone to heaven.— Plymouth Independent. WASP STINGS ARE FATAL. People Have Been Known to Die from the Insect's Assault In an article on the stings of wasps a British medical journal cites the two following cases which have come under its notice: A strong, healthy girl of 27 was stung on the neck by a wasp and fainted. On regaining consciousness she complained of a general feeling of numbness and partial blindness and vomited; she suffered severe abdominal pain. She recovered in the course of a few hours. Two months later she was stung again; this time on the hand. Her face became flushed, she again complained of numbness and blindness, suddenly became very pale, fainted and died twenty-five minutes after she was stung. Another case was that of a girl of 22 years who was stung by a wasp behind the angle of the jaw. The sting was at once extracted and ammonia applied. In a few minutes she complained of faintness and would have fallen if she had not been supported. He face assumed an expression of great anxiety and a few minutes later she was tossing on the bed, complained of a horrible feeling of choking and of agonizing pain in the chest and abdomen. Brandy gave no relief. There was nausea, but no vomition. She rapidly became insensible and died fifteen minutes after receiving the sting. The most probable explanation of such cases seems to lie in what is known as idiosyncrasy—that is, abnormal sensitivity in particular individuals to certain toxic agents. It is well known that drugs vary much in action on different people. What is a safe dose for one is dangerously large for another. The inability o" some people to eat strawberries or shellfish is another instance of the same phenomena. The active agent of bee stings is generally believed to be formic acid. It, therefore, seems very desirable that we should have more accurate information regarding the action of this drug on different species of the lower animals and through them on man himself. SULTAN AGREES TO PLANS. Jews May Eventually Call Promised Land Their Gown. At last it seems as if the Jews might get back to the Promised Land and eventually be able again to call it their own. Dr. Herzl, the founder of the Zionist movement, has laid before the Sultan a scheme for the colonization of parts of Southern Palestine, and his plan is backed up by the Kaiser. Dr. Herzl offered fair payments in return for a definite security of tenure, with internal governing rights over great tracts of land. The payments were to take the form of a certain sum down, with installments as the work advanced. But on the part of the Jews international securities for the carrying out of the undertaking are demanded, and the leading surety is likely to be the Kaiser himself. The Sultan treated Dr. Herzl's delegation kindly, and promised to grant the part of what the Zionists asked. An international congress of Jews will be called shortly to support the plans made by the leader. The first step taken by the Jews probably will be the rebuilding of the harbor of Jaffa, and then large irrigation schemes will be undertaken. This work will be done by Jews brought from Galicia, Roumania and Russia. The scheme, far from being charitable, is a business venture, from which good returns are expected—New York Press. THE ST.

"CONTINENTAL'S" NEW RECORD. Clips two Minutes 'Between St. Louis and Decatur. The Wabash "Continental Limited" made a new record Thursday night between Decatur and St. Louis, cutting two minutes off the best previous record. Engineer Braddock, with No. 607, a new high-speed engine, made the 165 mile time to Granville City 101 minutes. A five-minute stop was made at Litchfield, making the actual running time ninety-six minutes, an average of 65.4 miles for the whole distance. Best previous time was ninety-eight minutes. From Staunton to Carpenter, 10.2 miles, the time was seven minutes, or at the time of the race. The forty-seven miles from Boody to Honey Bend were made in forty minutes—40.5 miles an hour. The train departed from Decatur an hour and forty minutes late, and had, beside the regular equipment, President Ramsey's private car. Wabash officials say that the new engines will make a hundred miles an hour before the summer is over—St. Louis Republic, April 11th, 1902. THE SMALL POX.

Special this week small pox discovered in the city for one week, ten were found among Afro-Americans. This enormous disproportion of Afro-Americans led the Acting Health Commissioner, Dr. Reilly, to invite a number of the race, including ministers, doctors, lawyers and business men, to confer with him last Saturday. The following facts were presented: "The current midyear population of Chicago, figured on the basis of the United States census of 1900, is 1,820,000, of which number 23,660, or 1.3 per cent, are Afro-Americans." "Since Jan. 1 and up to noon of May 16 there have been 187 cases of small pox in the city—67, or 35 per cent, being African Americans." Thus 1.1-3 per cent of the total population has contributed 35 per cent of the total small pox. "If small pox had been proportionately as prevalent among the white population as it has been among the Afro-Americans there would have been 4,530 white cases, instead of 120. "If the Afro-American population had been proportionately as free from small pox as the white there would have been less than two cases (one and three-fourths) among them, instead of sixty-seven. The only explanation is that the whites are generally vaccinated—the Afro-Americans are not." The facts were thoroughly discussed by those present, including Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of Quinn Chapel and president of the Colored Pastors' Association, and Dr. Dansel H. Williams, J. Norman Croker and G. E. Hall. It was agreed to make a concerted effort to secure the immediate vaccination of every unvaccinated Afro-American person in the city and to organize a movement looking to securing improved sanitary conditions in the city and premises occupied by Afro-American persons. It was tendered free vaccination to those unable to pay, and prompt action on all complaints of unsanitary conditions. VACATION TRIPS Do you expect to treat yourself to a vacation trip this summer?

MORRIS The senatorial convention of the first district, which convened on Tuesday evening did exceedingly well when it made this gentleman the nominee of the Republican party for the Legislature. Mr. Morris is now in Europe, attending the session of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows of England, as the representative of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America. He was in no sense a candidate for the nomination and thus the lodge which comes to him is wholly and entirely unexpected. Mr. Morris's splendid ability as a lawyer, large experience as a legislator and his popularity as an Afro-American leader, all tend to make him an ideal candidate and he will be elected beyond all question. The act that ten or fifteen other Afro-American leaders the nomination and the difficulty of getting from such a large number of aspirants made the unanimous selection of Mr. Morris for the honor foregone conclusion.
